BOND ELECTION PROBABLE FOR HARBOR ASSOCIATED CHAMBERS OF ORANGE COUNTY DISCUSS THE QUESTION AT LAST MEETING. IRVINE OFFERS STRIP FOR COAST ROAD IF COUNTY WILL SPEND $30,000 ON IT Orange county will probably be asked to vote a bond issue for the construction of a harbor at Newport Beach. With the contract signed for the Newport jetties, some of the material on the ground for preliminary construction work, the contractor under bonds to complete the jetties on or before the 13th of next January, the county harbor commission ready to report at any time, and the law requiring that the board of supervisors call an election within fifteen days after the filing of the report—if it is deemed advisable to call for a bond issue for the purpose—Orange county voters will in all probability be called upon to approve or reject Newport Bay as a county harbor site. The time is near at hand—within six or seven months—when the people of the county will have to decide whether they want to improve the bay and make it a commercial harbor that will receive ocean going vessels from all ports of the world or whether they will be content to let it remain as a private project of the city of Newportchant. Placentia reported a new $30,000 plant for the manufacture of tomato paste. Huntington Beach reported an enlarged vegetable cannery specializing on tomatoes. Newport Heights reported a new vegetable cannery. Newport Beach reported the glass factory in operation, and a new $70,000 fish and vegetable cannery employing 200 people and destined to become a $150,000 corporation in prospect. Anaheim reported a new airplane factory just started, and an enlargement of the Crawford marma-lade factory so it employs fifty people at the present time. HIGH SCHOOL STUDENTS WILL HELP The high school boys of California are going to help the nation through helping to harvest the crops. The attorney general of California has rendered the important opinion that schools can be officially closed so far as counting attendance is concerned, and yet the teachers be asked by the school authorities to go on offering instruction for those who still wish to be taught. This means that in case of agricultural emergency the schools may close in part and high school boys may help in harvesting the crops without injuring the record of the school as regards average daily attendance. Any farmer who wants high school boys to help him harvest his crops should communicate with the principal of the nearest high school. A committee appointed by the state board of education, with State Commissioner of Secondary Education Will C. Wood, as its chairman, has found, by canvassing all the high schools in the state, that a large proportion of all the high school boys will be ready and glad to have a chance to do work on the farms of California this summer.

That the proposition would be put squarely up to the people of the county in the near future was indicated by Lew H. Wallace, of Newport Beach, at Wednesday night's meeting of the Associated Chambers of Commerce at Balboa Palisades Tavern. T. B. Talbert, chairman of the board of supervisors said, "I am very enthusiastic about the harbor project. I hope to see the harbor developed and business built up around the bay. It is time for our people to have their minds working—time they should wake up to the splendid opportunities offered by the bay for the development of one of the best and safest commercial harbors on the coast. When the harbor commission files its report the board of supervisors will have to do something within fifteen days. If the county ever takes hold of the project, the harbor will grow into a real harbor. We want to know whether the people are behind us or not. If it is a good thing for the county, I believe the people will be big enough and fair enough to vote the bonds." James Irvine, owner of the big ranch south of Santa Ana and extending along the coast from Belboa Palisades south toward Laguna for several miles is ready and willing to give the county a deed to a strip of land along the coast the entire length of his ranch for the long desired coast highway if the county will agree to improve the road by spending the sum of $30,000 on it within five years. Mr. Irvine has also expressed his willingness to allow use of several lanes from the highway on the bluff to the beach and parking places there for use of picnic parties. The probability of securing government aid for paving the road along the coast as a matter of military necessity was mentioned by several present, including T. B. Talbert, chairman of the board of supervisors, should communicate with the principal of the nearest high school.

Wood, as its chairman, has found, by canvassing all the high schools in the state, that a large proportion of all the high school boys will be ready and glad to have a chance to do work on the farms of California this summer. The university college of agriculture is cooperating with this movement, as agent in the matter of the committee on resources and food supply of the California state council of defense. This committee is helping out in the matter of the farm labor problem of California. Every county council of defense is expected to handle the farm labor problem so far as it possibly can within its own county. A county council should apply to the committee on resources and food supply only in case there is an actual and specific demand for labor greater than the local county council of defense can itself meet. SECRET SERVICE MAN SHOT BY ASSASSIN Jose Cruz, Former Anaheimer, Killed In Road at Delhi Jose Cruz, a former resident of Anaheim, one of Sheriff Jackson's secret service men, was shot to death near his home at Delhi Wednesday night by an unknown assassin. He was found lying in the road by another Mexican at 5:30 next morning with a bullet hole in the back of his head. "Joe Cruz has been one of our right hand men for eight years," said Deputy Sheriff Cravath. "During that time he has done all he could to keep his people straight and to help enforce the law among them. Since he has lived in Delhi he has stopped about forty rows among the Mexicans down there. He was really an Indian, born in Mexico, and was tall, straight and level eyed. "He was one of the few of his kind who had none of his people's vices, for he never drank, fought, nor seldom smoked. He bore no malice to any of his associates, and never disturbed them unless they got to fighting. Then he would tell them to quiet down or he would call the sheriff.

The probability of securing government aid for paving the road along the coast as a matter of military necessity was mentioned by several present, including T. B. Talbert, chairman of the board of supervisors, who also said that Mr. Irvine is willing to give the right of way between the Newport Bay entrance and Laguna Beach if a good road is built there. Supervisor Leck thought $30,000 could be well spent by the county in fixing the dirt road, and said the only difference of opinion arose as to whether the road should pass by the Tavern, or cut around the head of the bay from Buck gulch, as desired by Mr. Irvine. F. C. Krause agreed that a coast highway is needed and would prove very desirable, not only as an additional scenic highway but to relieve congestion on the inland roads, the opinion being that outside motorists would go along the coast and return inland or go inland and return via the coast road. He said the inland towns of the county would be glad to see the coast road constructed. When reports of the industries committee were asked for a deluge of reports were made on the growth of old industries and establishment of new industrial plants in the county. Santa Ana reported the new $70,000 woolen mill is beginning work and the old-new cannery is to reopen about the middle of July, employing many people, with a large payroll, and helping both the producer and the mer- "He was one of the few of his kind who had none of his people's vices, for he never drank, fought, nor seldom smoked.

This naturally made many enemies for him, for the ignorant people he worked among thought he was trying to do them harm. I told Joe they'd try to kill him one of these days, but he just laughed. He had a keen sense of humor, and was unusually intelligent and honest." Cruz was a contractor for beet field labor. The Mexicans who worked for him all liked him because he paid them well. He had just drawn $60 from the bank, but that was still in his pocket when the coroner examined his body, and it is evident he was murdered out of spite alone. He formerly lived in Los Alamitos, and later in Anaheim before moving to Delhi where he has been for the past two years. For the past eight years he has been an invaluable aid to the local officers in keeping law and order among the Mexicans. IS DROWNED AT NEWPORT BEACH Young Los Angeles Lawyer is Season's First Victim at Resort J. P. Cottrell, Jr., 26 years old, whose parents live at Colton, and who was employed as an attorney, with Davis, Kemp & Post, of Los Angeles, was drowned at Newport Beach Sunday. The body was taken to the office of Coroner T. A. Winbigler and shipped to Colton. Attorney Cottrell lived at an Indian, born in Mexico, and was tall, straight and level eyed.

Robert Derwing found the attorney's body on the bottom of the sea and took it ashore. A pulmoter was used in an unsuccessful attempt at resuscitation. CAMPAIGN BEGAN FOR FOOD CONSERVATION One Meatless Day a Week, One Wheatless Meal Each Day Practically every woman's organization in California has pledged itself to aid in the national food saving campaign which commenced Monday. President Wilson, Gov. Stephens and the national and state councils of defense have united in urging every patriotic householder to join in the movement. The campaign, which will be launched simultaneously in every state in the Union and which in California is expected to be joined in by practically every household in the state, will be started by the securing of written pledges from housewives to inaugurate immediately one meatless day each week and to abstain from the use of wheat products during one meal each day. The written pledges, which have been sent out by the state council of defense and which are expected to be published in every newspaper in the state, prescribe that the householders signing them not only shall loyally abstain from wheat and meat at cer handle a larger part of the crop than last year, as new associations have been formed at Walnut Creek and San Juan Capistrano. MONEY AND PELF Oodles of money are running loose in this country and the greatest commercial and financial question is: Will those get it who have earned it? All authorities agree that the sterams of wealth which are now beginning to burst forth from our resources and industries will surpass in speed and volume anything known in our history. This is the case for the whole country and California will surely be in the rush and scramble for all she is worth. Nearly seventy years ago California made the world's record in outpouring of gold, which had much to do in unsettling world's values by the volume of it. Today California is experiencing an inpouring of gold, in exchange for products, which is ten times as great as her greatest outpour of it, and in so doing California unsettles nothing and helps everything. The question, then, is, Will this gold go to those to whom it rightly belongs? Will it be money received in righteous exchange of value for value, as money rightly should be, or will it be pelf—which the dictionary says is "money in a bad sense"? Pelf, then is money heaped up by those who have no just claim to it: money exacted by speculation, by greed, by conspiracy to avert, divert and pervert prosperity from those who have earned it by investment and industry in producing something which the world now urgently needs. Mr. Hoover said the other day that fifty million dollars a month had been stolen from producers and consumers during the period of uncurbed speculation and greedy hoarding. It was of course a guess at the amount; we might have said five hundred millions as a total, for, if the state. This commission also considered whether the property of the Grand Dukes and Duchesses, worth about $210,000,000, should be seized for the benefit of the public. The value of all the property owned by the former Emperor or members of the formerly royal house of Russia is estimated by Prof. Okunleff at $958,000,000. In addition, the professor asserts, Nicolas still has on deposit in the bank of England $35,000,000, placed there years ago in provision for the rainy day which now has come. The late Grand Duke Alexis, uncle to the former Emperor Nicholas, left $10,000,000 on deposit in the Bank of France. There are also two Romanoff family trust funds. One was founded by Alexander III when on his death bed in Livadia, which now amounts to $7,800,000, is invested in Russia and is within the reach of the revolutionary government. Another, amounting to $24,000,000, was derived by Alexander III when he liberated 4,000,000 serfs for $6 each in 1861. Chief among the properties taken from the former Emperor are the so-called "Cabinet lands." These constituted one of the largest private estates in the world and included vast forests, gold, silver, platinum and copper mines, 100 factories for making paper, textiles, glass or porcelain and 1500 flour mills. Nicolas derived $32,000,000 a year in profits from the rental of these properties to peasants or others. The former Emperor Nicolas's annual income when he was deposed is estimated by Prof. Okunleff at $65,000,000. The Duma allowed him $8,500,000 a year to pay the expenses of the imperial court but, because of extravagance, mismanagement and pilfering, the annual cost amounted to $20,000,000 according to the statement of Zubatcheff, councillor of the empire. be started by the securing of written pledges from housewives to inaugurate immediately one meatless day each week and to abstain from the use of wheat products during one meal each day. The written pledges, which have been sent out by the state council of defense and which are expected to be published in every newspaper in the state, prescribe that the householders signing them not only shall loyally abstain from wheat and meat at certain times, but that every person joining in the movement shall be an ardent advocate of the "clean plate," less food consumption and a general food saving campaign. With the inauguration of the campaign hundreds of ministers throughout the state will make the need of joining the national conservation movement their topic for sermons. Here are the things which each family will be asked to do in helping to save food: First—To save the wheat. One wheatless meal each day, using corn bread or other cereal as a substitute. Second—To save the meat. One meatless day each week, and to buy less meat and to serve in smaller portions. Third to save butter fats. To use no butter in cooking. Fourth—To save transportation facilities by eating home products and so releasing freight cars for other uses than transportation of food. Fifth—To preach the gospel of "the clean plate," to buy less foodstuffs and to skimp the garbage can. Sixth—To increase the use of corn, buckwheat, rice, rye and all vegetables and aside from eating an increased proportion of these commodities in order to save on wheat, meat and butter fats, to preserve and store any surplus for winter use.

Mr. Hoover said the other day that fifty million dollars a month had been stolen from producers and consumers during the period of uncurbed speculation and greedy boarding. It was of course a guess at the amount; he might have said five hundred millions as a total, for, if such an amount has not yet been stolen, it soon will be if things are allowed to go on a little longer. As we write Congress has not decided upon its enactment to insure profitable return to actual producers and fair prices to consumers, but there seems no longer reason to doubt that it will provide effective regulation. The emergency is recognized as unprecedented and the cure for it must be of like character. If the billions to be expended in this country are allowed to go for pelf, our great nation may not only lose the war for humanity abroad but lose its own freedom at home by the creation of an aristocracy of pelf which will be worse than any overlordship of diplomatic and military ambition can be. We remember the "shoddy aristocracy" which unchecked greed created toward the close of the civil war, half a century ago. It was about as had it could be, considering its size, but the preponderating vigor and righteousness of the young nation encysted and overgrew it. Since then, however, greed has learned new warfare. It has dug trenches to our social foundations and built submarines to pollute unseen the deepest waters of patriotism. In this way American plutocracy may become worse than European autocracy, because a seared conscience is more serious than a lame back. CROSS 25 STREETS On July 18 at the city hall at Fullerton, the petition of the Salt Lake railroad to the state railroad commission for permission to cross twenty-five streets and boulevards on its way from Whittier to Fullerton will be heard by Railroad Commissioner Gordon. Notice to that effect was received yesterday by the Board of Supervisors. Similar notices have been issued to the city of Fullerton, the Los VOLUME OF CALIFORNIA RIVERS The development of the water supply of California has greatly contributed to the material growth of the state. In the days of '49 the first great boom resulted from finding gold in a creek bed, and throughout the early days of gold mining the rapid growth of California was made possible by the development of water supplies for use in placer mining. In later years came the great irrigation activities, and especially in Southern California the agricultural products have become so valuable that water is probably worth more here than it is anywhere else in the country. All through the Sacramento and San Joaquin valleys also water has relatively large value for irrigation, and the enormous importance of California water powers is now generally recognized. It is apparent that in a state so thoroughly dependent upon its water supplies investigations that will reveal the amount of water available in the streams and beneath the ground are of the highest importance. The former Emperor Nicolas's annual income when he was deposed is estimated by Prof. Okunleff at $65,000,-000. The Duma allowed him $8,500,000 a year to pay the expenses of the imperial court but, because of extravagance, mismanagement and pilfering, the annual cost amounted to $20,000,-000 according to the statement of Zubatcheff, councillor of the empire. Expropriation of all the "appanage lands" from which the Grand Dukes and Duchesses enjoyed a life income was demanded by the Council of Workmen's and Soldiers' Deputies. These lands are estimated to be worth $140,-000,000. The members of the former royal house offered to surrender them to the government if the nation demanded it. Besides the lands, the Grand Dukes and Duchesses owned, as private individuals, more than 200 palaces or villas estimated to be worth $70,000,000. Some of these include the richest lands in the Crimea and the Caucasus. These estates were taken by the Romanoffs after the conquest of the Crimea and the Caucasus and in most cases no compensation was paid to the former owners.

MR. HOOVER SAYED THE OTHER DAY THAT FIFTY MILLION DOLLARS A MONTH HAD BEEN STolen FROM PRODUcers AND CONSUMERS DURING THE PERIOD OF UNCURBED SPECIULATION AND GREED BOARDING. IT WAS OF COURSE A GUESA AT THE AMOUNT; HE MIGHT HAVE Said FIVE HUNDRED MILLIONS AS A TOTAL, FOR IF SUCH AN AMOUNT HAS NOT YET BEEN STOLEN, IT ILLOW WILL BE IF THINGS ARE AREALED TO GO ON A LITTLER. AS WE WRITE CONGRESS HAS NOT DECIDED UPON IT ENACTMENT TO INSURE PROFITABLE RETURN TO ACTUAL PRODUCERS AND FAIR PRICES TO CONSUMERS, BUT THERE SEEMS NO LONGER REASON TO DOUBLE IT WHILE PROVIDE EFFECTIVE REGULATION. THE EMERGENCY IS RECognIZED AS UNPREcedented AND THE CURE FOR IT MUST BE OF LIKE CHARACTER. IF THE BILLIONS TO BE EXPENDED IN THIS COUNTRY ARE ALLOWED TO GO FOR PELF, OUR GREAT NATION MAY NOT ONLY LOSE THE WAR FOR HUMANITY ABANDON BUT LOSS IT'S OWN FREedom AT HOME BY THE CREATION OF AN ARISTOCRYCY OF PELF WHICH WILL BE Worse THAN ANY OVERLORDSHIP OF DIOMATIC AND MILITARY AMBITION CAN BE. WE REMEMBER THE "SHODDY ARISTOCRYCY" WHICH UNCHECKED GREED CREATED TOWARD THE CLOSE OF THE CIVIL WAR, HALF A CENTury AGO. IT WAS ABOUT AS HAD AS IT COULD BE, INCLUDING ITS SIZE, BUT THE PREponderating VIGOR AND RIGHTEOUSNESS OF THE Young NATION ENCYSTED AND OVERGrew IT. Since then, however, greed has learned new warfare. IT HAS DUG TRENCHES TO OUR SOCIAL FOUNDATIONS AND BUILT SUBMARINES TO POLLUTE UNSEEN THE DEEPEST WATER OF PATRIOTISM. IN THIS WAY American Plutocracy MAY BEOREWATER EUROPEAN Autocracy, Because A SEARED CONSCIENCE IS MORE SERIOUS THAN A LAME BACK.

Experienced orange growers of Visalia declare that the dangers from the usual "June drop" among the navels has passed, leaving excellent prospects for the forthcoming navel crop in Tulare county. The outlook for oranges is good says P. H. Norton of Redlands, manager of the Redlands Cooperative Orange association. He is just back from a trip through the Middle West and Canada. He says he found business conditions good. Lyman M. King of Redlands, who appeared before the Interstate Railroad Commission in Washington to protest against the blanket increase of 15 per cent in freight rates asked by the railroads, says the men who represented the citrus industry before the commission believe that oranges and lemons will be exempt. J. A. Stewart of the Mutual Orange Distributors association of Redlands who was also in Washington at the hearing, says that the Southern Railroads have made a request of the Commission that the 15 per cent increase be reduced to one per cent on citrus fruits. The California Walnut Growers' association in a circular letter sent out June 22, states that the recent hot wave damaged the growing walnut crop close to 2g per cent. As the prospect was for the greatest production on record the state will apparently ship as many walnuts as were marketed last year.

Notice to that effect was received yesterday by the Board of Supervisors. Similar notices have been issued to the city of Fullerton, the Los Angeles Board of Supervisors, Engineer Patch of the State Highway Commission and the Santa Fe. The notice is brief. It merely states that the Salt Lake proposes to build from a point near the Whittier boulevard at the south city limits of Whittier to the south city limits of Fullerton, and in so doing will cross twenty-five streets and public highways and the Santa Fe railroad. The hearing before Commissioner Gordon is set for 1:30, July 18. Any objections or suggestions as to the manner of crossing the various streets may be filed with the commissioner. Among the highways to be crossed is the state highway, and any proposal to cross that thoroughfare other than by overhead construction is likely to meet with serious objection.

Water supply paper 391, "Surface Water Supply of the Pacific Slope Basins in California," will be useful to engineers and others interested in the utilization of the streams of that region, although it is too technical to be of any value to the general reader.

FORTY-FIVE MILLION BARRELS OF SALT The domestic consumption of salt in 1916 was 45,720,860 barrels of 280 lbs. each, an increase of more than 7,000,000 barrels over the consumption of 1915. According to statistics compiled under the direction of R. W. Stone, of the United States geological survey, department of the interior, the domestic production of salt in 1916 was 45,449,329 barrels, the imports were 871,992 barrels and the exports 600,461 barrels. This was an increase of 19 per cent in the quantity of salt produced. The total value of the salt was $13,645,947. Michigan, as usual, was the largest producer, and New York was a close second. The production, in barrels, by the leading states was as follows: Michigan, 14,918,278; New York, 14,087,750; Ohio, 6,706,193; Kansas, 4,567,793; California, 1,124,236. Perhaps the most marked feature in the salt industry in 1916 was the great increase in quantity of brine sold as such or used by chemical works, the increase being 37 per cent and the total production over 18,000,000 barrels. The production of rock salt increased over 17 per cent and amounted to 9,-973,950 barrels, valued at $2,665,270. On the other hand, the production of evaporated salt increased only 5 per cent, to 17,575,629 barrels, but the value was $10,149,412, an increase of nearly 15 per cent. WILL LOSE TWO TRAINS Following out the request of the government that all possible trains be discontinued to allow of properly handling military transportation, the Santa Fe railroad is going to discontinue two trains passing through Anaheim. The two trains to be discontinued are No. 70, leaving Los Angeles at 7:30 a.m., and leaving Anaheim for San Diego at 8:26 a.m., and No. 75 leaving San Diego at 3 p.m. and leaving Anaheim at 5:43 p.m. for Los Angeles. These are trains put on to handle the Exposition traffic, and it is not thought their discontinuance will cause very much inconvenience. The new schedule, which goes into effect July 8, also calls for a slight change in time in a couple of other trains. Do away with the sweltering summer kitchen by using an Eclipse Cabinet gas range.
