"TEMPTING FACTORIES: THE SANTA ANA IDEA
Plan of Aiding Industries to Become Established in Small Cities Meets With Success
A crying need of Southern California is factories. The big city and the small town both want them. The factory promoter locates where he secures the best inducements that may be had to encourage his particular industry. Most factory enterprises, herefore, have located in metropolitan communities because in such places plenty of laborers are always available and railroad shipping facilities are to be had, writes Victor W. Killick, in the L. A. Times.
But at this time the rapid development of some of the smaller towns has created conditions almost, if not equal in their inducements to industrial enterprises to those of the metropolitan centers. For certain types of factories, it is said, the inducements of the smaller towns are superior to those of the big cities.
Especially is this true of the smaller cities and towns of Southern California. Take railroad facilities as an example. There are approximately 20 cities and towns ranging in population from 2000 to 15,000 between Los Angeles and San Diego on the main transcontinental lines of two or more railroads and many of these are provided with branch or local lines as well.
Recent adjustments in freight rates by the State Railroad Commission have removed practically all objections in the matter of transportation costs from these locations.
In the matter of labor conditions the small town is usually freer from strikes and labor discords than the big town, and this is considered a big economical factor by many employers.
Other advantages to factories local
of the people the fact that proposed public bond issues amounting to $12,697,500 were defeated last year.
The total of county assessment rolls in California last year was $3,577,877,764, according to the state controller, as against $2,603,344,933 in 1911—an increase of $974,532,831 or 37 per cent. During the same period state expenditures increased 100 per cent and county expenditures almost 106 per cent. City expenditures increased 48 per cent.
The state controller estimates that by June 30, the state government will have a surplus of $8,000,000 or more. In a recent address he said: "This surplus, in my opinion, represents to a large extent unjustifiable taxation. The state should have a surplus to meet emergencies, but in my judgment $1,500,000 or $2,000,000 at the outside would be sufficient to protect us. Anything in excess of that sum is money diverted from the avenues of business, and money taken in the shape of taxation from the pockets of the people."
CORONA RANCH OWNER FILES APPLICATION
Requests State Water Commission to Allow Him to Appropriate Sufficient Water from Santa Ana River
W. J. Hole of Los Angeles, owner of the La Sierra ranch lying between Corona and Arlington, is endeavoring to procure water judgment for the irrigation of the entire tract. He has made application before the State Water Commission for the appropriation of sufficient water from the Santa Ana river for the irrigation of a portion of the ranch. He says that those familiar with water conditions in the San Bernardino valley find that the spreading out of water taken from the Santa Ana river for irrigation weeks ago Mrs. K. when an automobile several others were over on the state Toro.

Recent adjustments in freight rates by the State Railroad Commission have removed practically all objections in the matter of transportation costs from these locations.
In the matter of labor conditions the small town is usually freer from strikes and labor discords than the big town, and this is considered a big economical factor by many employers.
Other advantages to factories located in the small town are cheaper factory sites, due to the fact that smaller population does not justify as high land values. The smalltown factory generally finds freedom in operating, the local civic authorities imposing fewer restrictions on them than must of necessity be imposed upon a concern operating in a city of highly congested population.
Due to the equality of the advantages afforded factories by so many of the Southern California smaller cities, something in the nature of competition exists among them in their efforts to bring factories to their communities.
So much is industrial enterprise appreciated in these towns that various plans to "tempt" prospective manufacturing plants into their midst with special inducements of monetary worth have been devised.
Three general plans have been followed in this regard.
First, that of the real estate principle, where a tract of land for a factory site is donated the manufacturer with the idea in view that the establishment of the factory plant will at once enhance land values in the immediate surrounding territory and bring in buyers to compensate the land owners fully for the property donated.
Second, that based upon buying stock in the manufacturing concern itself to get it started, with the idea in view that the new establishment will create better business activity in the community at once, and with the hope that the stock so purchased may eventually pay dividends and increase in value.
Third, that based upon giving the incoming concern a cash bonus to encourage it, where the concern spends the bonus under conditions imposed by the donors.
These three plans, or variations of them, are the general principles employed by the cities throughout Southern California to stimulate industrial development of the La Sierra ranch lying between Corona and Arlington, is endeavoring to procure water judgment for the irrigation of the entire tract. He has made application before the State Water Commission for the appropriation of sufficient water from the Santa Ana river for the irrigation of a portion of the ranch. He says that those familiar with water conditions in the San Bernardino valley find that the spreading out of water taken from the Santa Ana river for irrigation purposes has increased the surface and summer flow of the river to a marked degree. It is urged that water taken from the river and spread upon the Hole ranch, which borders it, will find its way back into the stream and benefit the people below.
Opposition to Mr. Hole's plan comes from the Santa Ana Valley Irrigation company and the Anheim Union Water company, as they fear tait allowing Mr. Hole to take water for the irrigation of his ranch will diminish the flow of the river. People at Corona say this seems to be an error upon their part. They insist it would be a benefit to the companies to encourage the irrigation of lands situated as Mr. Hole's ranch, which slopes toward the Santa Ana river and is adjacent to it.
Mr. Hole offered, before the water commission, to install a system so as to save the water which now goes to waste by evoration and in plant life in the bottom lands adjoining the river. It is asserted by engineers who are familiar with the use of the water in that part of the country that Mr. Hole's method will result in the saving of several hundred inches of water.
It is hoped at Corona that a satisfactory adjustment may be made whereby this land can be placed in a high state of cultivation at as early a date as possible as the country needs just such tracts as this for the production of food stuffs that are in such demand by the nation and foreign countries.

in the community at once, and with the hope that the stock so purchased may eventually pay dividends and increase in value.
Third, that based upon giving the incoming concern a cash bonus to encourage it, where the concern spends the bonus under conditions imposed by the donors.
These three plans, or variations of them, are the general principles employed by the cities throughout Southern California to stimulate industrial enterprises.
Each plan has been worked successfully in various localities, but all of them at times cost the communities practicing them heavy losses. The main reason for such losses is that unscrupulous manufacturing concerns having little or no financial backing occasionally break into a community's confidence, take advantage of the liberality and then fail to make good.
THE PUBLIC BUSINESS IN BRIEF
The bonded indebtedness of the state government of California on June 30, 1916 was $33,013,500; of counties and districts $56,461,189.94, and of cities $135,567,045.39. The grand total of $225,041,735.33, as of the date above, does not, of course include the $15,000,000 additional state highway bonds or any of the other county and city issues since voted.
The state, counties and cities of California last year expended over $10,000,000 in paying interest on bond issues. The interest paid by the counties and cities totalled $8,627,462.75 while their payments for redemption of bonds were over a million dollars less.

RAILWAY TO CONDEMN FULLERTON PROPERTY
Anaheim Union Water Company Named in Suit
Suit to condemn a strip of land forty feet wide at one end and 100 feet wide at the other, covering a distance of 652.3 feet through the city of Fullerton, was begun last week by the Pacific Electric railway.
The defendants named in the suit are: Albert O. Stovall, Minnie L. Stovall, S. N. Fuller, Anaheim Union Water company, and the usual John and Jane Do individuals and corporations.
The complaint states that the purpose of the railway company in bringing the suit is to acquire right of way for its proposed extension through the Santa Ana canyon from the city of La Habra. It asks that an assessment be made for the property through which it proposes to run its line, so that the proper valuation may be made for the condemnation.
The property described is located in lot 16 of the Central addition to the city of Fullerton. It fronts on Hillcrest Drive and Harvard avenue. It contains one and one twentieth acres. The entire lot, through which the proposed line will run, contains 5.37 acres, but the part it is desired to condemn takes off only on one side of the lot. The case will be heard in Department No. 2 of the Superior court.
Because Mrs. Maude L. Kellar is still unable to attend to her business affairs, F. M. Robinson has asked the superior court to appoint him as guardian of her property. Three
weeks ago Mrs. Kellar was injured when an automobile in which she and several others were riding, turned over on the state highway near El Toro. She has been unconscious most of the time since her injury. Her husband, Fred Kellar, died of injuries received by him. One reason for having a guardian appointed is that steps may be taken to collect $2000 insurance on Fred Kellar's life. Robinson applies as the nominee of Carl Stevens, son of Mrs. Kellar. Scarborough and Forgy are attorneys for the petitioner.
MEMORIAL SERVICES IN ORANGE COUNTY
Strew Flowers on the Ocean at Huntington Beach
Of double significance and of strikingly deep solemnity were the Memorial Day services held in various parts of Orange county. The realization that the country is plunged in war and that perhaps at its end new names will have been added to the roster of heroes to mourn made an intense impression not alone upon the speakers but upon all who heard them.
It was a day of the profoundest patriotism. Every veteran's grave in the county was decorated and in other ways heartfelt tributes were paid the men who had given their lives for their country.
At Orange the school children joined with the G. A. R. organizations in the rites at the moment and in the decoration of the graves of the departed sailors and soldiers. Memorial services were held at Campbell's hall in the afternoon. The invocation was delivered by Rev. J. E. Hall. Adjutant Teasdale read Grand Orders No. 4, including General Orders No. 11. Mrs. A. D. Bishop read Lincoln's Gettsburg Address. Halford Thomas read "The Spirit of Memorial Day."
food supply. Here is a way in which everyone can help meet both:
Fires in the forests, the grass and brush lands, and the grain fields, such as occur annually in our California dry season, cause a loss of grain, of forage for cattle and sheep, and of wood and timber. We have become used to such fires and take them too much for granted. This year any fire burning uncontrolled means a loss in resources, money and labor that are needed for building ships, feeding people and live stock, and planting and harvesting our crops.
The cooperation of every loyal citizen is urgently requested, both in the matter of scrupulous care with fire in the open and in urging care on others.

Chairman of the Committee on Resources and Food Supply of the State Council of Defense.
TO PREVENT DISEASE
To prevent disease in poultry is of far greater importance than to cure them when once sickness has been developed. This fact has not been insisted on so frequently as it should have been by authorities on poultry culture, but it should be repeated often and with emphasis to the end that all who raise poultry and especially beginners should not fail to throw all of the safeguards possible around their flocks.
An eastern poultry raiser has had success with permanganate of potash as a disease preventive, finding it both effective and cheap. The writer, Kate Tarpenning of Barry county, writes as follows in the Michigan Farmer:
"I hesitate to tell what reliance I place on permanganate of potash in the care of my 400 hens, because there are a lot of people who will think I dose my fowls.
"I buy 10 cents worth and put half
ORANGE JUICE
California orange juice is fast becoming one of the country's most popular drinks. Its natural freshness and pure, healthful and delicious qualities give it strong advantages over ordinary bottled pops, which, however, are more easily served. In the eastern states there are scores of stores in the large cities and seaside resorts that sell nothing but California orange juice. Oranges from other sources are rarely employed.
Three gallons of water and one quart of lemon juice are added to every gallon of orange juice. Thus commercial orange juice has opened a new outlet for both of California's most abundant citrus fruits. The advertising of the Exchange and the distribution of 400,000 orange juice extractors has greatly stimulated its popularity.
Fair Play
It is human nature to resent paying anymore than anyone else for a given quantity, quality or service, and to demand an article at a cheap price regardless of quality is poor economy.
But quality at a uniform price would not be cheap.
Quality and service can be rated at uniform prices based on given quantities.
Fairly grade prices with first quality and service is the basis on which we have built this business.
Do you want a few prices?
Do you want a wagon load?
Or do you want a car load?
Our prices will be fair to you and me.

The closing prayer and benediction was given by Rev. W. H. Galbraith.
At Huntington Beach flowers were strenued upon the ocean in honor of the departed soldiers and sailors, more than a hundred school children marching to the pier for the ceremony. Services were held at the Huntington Beach cemetery. The G. A. R. organizations held a basket picnic at the comp grounds.
Consular representatives of practically all the entente nations were present at the patriotic observances held at Seal Beach. Speeches, music and an unfurling of international flags were among the day's features.

An eastern poultry raiser has had success with permanganate of potash as a disease preventive, finding it both effective and cheap. The writer, Kate Tarpenning of Barry county, writes as follows in the Michigan Farmer:
"I hesitate to tell what reliance I place on permanganate of potash in the care of my 400 hens, because there are a lot of people who will think I dose my fowls."
"I buy 10 cents worth and put half of it in a pint bottle and fill with water, and every time I water my hans or chicks of any age I pour enoug of the permanganate of potash compound in the water to color it pink. I find this remedy much more valuable to control bowel trouble than for the treatment of colds for which it is often recommended. Before I tried this method—or preventive rather, one sick hen or chick would spread infection like an endless chain letter, but since I find such cases of bowel trouble as I have to contend with, do not spread rapidly and are easily controlled. And do you ask why? Because the permanganate of potash in the water kills the germs that would otherwise multiply and spread to the rest of the hens from the sick one."
"I have been following this method for three or four years and cannot see that it has harmed my poultry in any way. They thrive and lay at all times of the year."
"Permanganate of potash comes from the drug store labeled poison but when so much reduced that ten cents worth will last for a big flock, six months, it has no harmful effect."
SAVE THE FAT
Do you throw away the body fat of poultry—big layers of clean, sweet yellow fat around the gizzard and found elsewhere around the intestines of the chicken? If you do, say specialists of the United States department of agriculture, you are throwing away fat which the French housewives consider the finest of fats for making cakes and especially puff paste. In certain seasons in New York and other big cities, this fat is so highly esteemed that it brings as much as $1.10 a pound. So great is the demand for this fat that many people make a business of collecting it from butchers and others who dress poultry before delivering it to customers. Housewives would do well to insist on having it delivered...

TO THE PUBLIC
At this serious time every patriotic citizen has two distinct responsibilities—the prevention of waste and a contribution to the increase in the throwing away fat which the French housewives consider the finest of fats for making cakes and especially puff paste. In certain seasons in New York and other big cities, this fat is so highly esteemed that it brings as much as $1.10 a pound. So great is the demand for this fat that many people make a business of collecting it from butchers and others who dress poultry before delivering it to customers. Housewives would do well to insist on having it delivered if they buy their poultry dressed. By using chicken fat in cooking they can cut down the amount of fat they must buy for that purpose. To prepare it, try it out in a double boiler, or other vessel set in hot water, until the fat just melts away from the tissues and can be poured off. This fat becomes rancid easily and should be kept cool and covered like butter, may be used for shortening in cakes such as spice cake where the seasoning used will mask any flavor which the fat might have. It can also be used for frying the chicken itself or other meats and for warming vegetables, etc.
