FORMER ANAHEIM MAN A SUCCESSFUL MINER R. B. Ingram Strikes Pay Dirt in the Tungsten Region R. B. Ingram a former employee of the Union Oil company in the Brea field, who is now engaged in the mining and milling of valuable ore near Atolla, on the San Bernardino county desert, has struck pay dirt. Mr. Ingram was in Brea Wednesday to get some machinery repairs, says the Progress. The former oil man shows a deep bronze brought by the desert sun and his averdupois shows the laborious grind that he has been hitting, but the fact that he has cleaned up about $5000 during the past three months is undoubtedly ample compensation for any hardships he might have endured. Mr. Ingram left here a little over a year ago to try his fortune in the great game which lures men on and on, sometimes with no reward other than to have engaged in the fascinating game of seeking the hidden wealth of mother earth. Ingram believed that he had claims in the Atolia district that would yield bountifully if worked properly and he believed that he knew how to work them. He had a machine of his own invention that he believed would gather in the precious gold and tungsten where others would pass it over. His prospects looked so good that a number of Fullerton and Brea men went in with him on the venture. But Dame Fortune did not hurry with her smiles and one by one the associates got cold feet and gave up the fight, until Ingram found himself and Pat McDonald, a mining man of the Atolia region, the only ones left of the party. But this did not daunt the former oil man, and with the persistence that wins he kept digging and shoveling, never doubted. LIFE CRUSHED OUT BY BEET WAGON Westminster Man Meets Death in a Peculiar Manner With his mind evidently far from his work and in spite of warning cries, Lawrence Thompson, aged 28, stood still while a beet wagon backed against him and crushed the life out of him. The accident occurred Thursday afternoon at 4 o'clock on Ed Golter's ranch near Westminster. Thompson has been in this country from Germany, where he was born and where his relatives live, for six years. Recently he has been employed on Golter's ranch as a teamster and swamper. Golter has been hauling his beets to the dump with a tractor. Several wagons have been chained together, after they had been collected in the fields by teams, and the train has been taken away by the tractor. James Huffman, a teamster, was bringing up a load of beets, and was backing it up to the front of the last wagon that had been attached to a train. It was Thompson's business to fasten the two wagons together after Huffman had backed into position. Thompson stood just in front of the wagon train when Huffman began to back. Golter was standing near. He noticed that Thompson seemed to be abstracted, oblivious to the fact that the beet wagon was moving toward him. Golter called to Thompson to look out. Thompson did not move. Golter yelled a second time, but Thompson did not move. Just that second Huffman's wagon struck him, and he was crushed against the front of the other wagon. The man's skull and head were crushed, and death was instantaneous.

But this did not daunt the former oil man, and with the persistence that wins he kept digging and shoveling and grinding, never doubting the ultimate outcome. And the Progress, for one, rejoices at the just reward which now seems at hand. Mr. Ingram has a lot of ore in reach which he confidently believes bears great wealth in gold and tungsten, and he is proffered all the money he might need in working his claim extensively. STRIKING MEXICANS WILL GET NO CREDIT Merchants Declare If They Won't Work Neither Shall They Eat Satisfied that the sugar companies and growers mean business when they say that the Mexicans who won't go to work will be displaced with negroes from Los Angeles, a number of grocery stores at which Mexicans have been getting credit have notified the Mexicans that they will be allowed no more groceries on credit. "We have been giving you groceries on credit expecting that you would go to work topping beets. You refuse to go to work. It looks to us as though you will be crowded out if you don't go to work right away. We want our money, and we are not going to let you have any more credit until you go to work." Several ranchers who have been providing Mexicans with places in which to live have notified the Mexicans who won't go to work to move out. "The negroes who went to work at Talbert seem to be getting along well," said Sheriff Jackson. "No disturbance has been reported to me. Mr. O'Brien of the Holly Sugar company asked me to send a deputy to prevent trouble between the negroes and anyone who might resent their employment. I sent H. L. Zimmerman." Harl Kittle, a field man for the Santa Ana Sugar company reported to the sheriff that there are dozens of Mexicans hanging around Delhi who are noticed that Thompson seemed to be abstracted, oblivious to the fact that the beet wagon was moving toward him. Golter called to Thompson to look out. Thompson did not move. Golter yelled a second time, but Thompson did not move. Just that second Huffman's wagon struck him, and he was crushed against the front of the other wagon. The man's skull and head were crushed, and death was instantaneous. AIRCRAFT IN THE WAR The following account of the exploits of a couple of birdmen indicate the important part the airships are taking in the war: An 18-year old "war baby" making his first flight alone over enemy territory, was awarded the "palm" among England's airmen for sheer audacity in the amazing list of aerial exploits heralding the opening of the Flanders offensive. The youngster swept far over the enemy territory and then swooped back, flying within a few feet of the ground. He spied a detachment of German infantry crossing a bridge and promptly let loose with his machine gun. Utterly disgarding the hail of rifle fire they turned upon him, he circled back and forth, barely over their heads, his machine gun rattling away. He saw four or five corpses before the Germans gave way and sought shelter in nearby ditches. The airman snooped around a little more, found his quarry too well covered up, and then winged blithely on his way. Next he swooped over an open motor car on a wide road, letting loose his machine gun fire at an officer in the tonneau. The machine turned into a side road and its driver opened wide the throttle. The officer turned against his adversary, a few feet aloft, and began firing with his automatic revolver. The "war baby" felt he would not be so unsportsmanlike as to return the officer's feeble pistol fire with his machine gun, so he stoped the latter and from the air staged a revolver duel with the flying enemy. Suddenly the auto was jammed to a stop. The British plane, fifty feet above and twenty-five feet behind, could not stop, but the aviator hurriedly circled back. Then he saw his ad- As the winner waived over the possession he grew envious of powers of endurance his cunning.

"No disturbance has been reported to me. Mr. O'Brien of the Holly Sugar company asked me to send a deputy to prevent trouble between the negroes and anyone who might resent their employment. I sent H. L. Zimmerman." Harl Kittle, a field man for the Santa Ana Sugar company reported to the sheriff that there are dozens of Mexicans hanging around Delhi who are making no effort to get jobs. The sheriff stated that he would go to Delhi and would make a talk to the Mexicans, urging them to go to work. It is reported that a goodly portion of 100 negroes are engaged in Los Angeles county in the beet field and that more are due to arrive. Accommodations for 100 or more negroes are being arranged at Huntington Beach and every precaution is being taken to give them good protection and first class accommodations. The situation is considerably easier, many Mexicans reporting for work. The introduction of negroes has had a most beneficial effect on the independent attitude of the Mexican laborers, according to reports. They see the possibility of work slipping away from them and are gradually returning to employment offered them. There are a number of methods of drying potatoes, either in the chip form or as a product resembling spaghetti, also as a flour. Potatoes consist of about 80 per cent of water. Its mere extraction, while reducing the bulk, does not always insure the keeping qualities of the product. The tried residue needs to be sealed air-tight, and in the more popular brands the potatoes are boiled a certain length of time before being sliced. The "war baby" felt he would not be so unsportsmanlike as to return the officer's feeble pistol fire with his machine gun, so he stoped the latter and from the air staged a revolver duel with the flying enemy. Suddenly the auto was jammed to a stop. The British plane, fifty feet above and twenty five feet behind, could not stop, but the aviator hurriedly circled back. Then he saw his adversary being hurriedly dragged into a house. Meanwhile, a perfect rain of anti aircraft shells and machine gun bullets spat all about the place. The pilot twirled around a few times, shot up into the skies, disappeared into the clouds and by and by came home unharmed. Nearly all of the aerial fighting on the opening of the Flanders offensive was at altitudes of less than 200 feet. The clouds hung so low that flying had to be at this level if the aviators expected to see anything. One fight close to the trenches began 200 feet aloft and ended at 50, when the Britisher forced the German to turn and side-slip down to death. Another British aviator impudently ran his machine along the ground of German aerodomes behind the lines, actually firing his machine gun through the open doors of the sheds. Raising again he dropped bombs over three sheds and silenced the enemy machine guns and "Archles." The same pilot machine gunned two German officers riding along a road on horseback and later dispersed a column of 200 troops and crashed down one of two enemy planes that rose to do him battle. Then he swooped back to let his machine gunfire play death in a crowd of Germans who had assembled around the wreck of the German plane. Sometimes women Doctors, declared former.

Now D. S. A. Barrett has revealed the strange tale told him 11 years ago by this last of the Pomo wizards. The curious story is told in a paper on "Pomo Bear Doctors" just issued in the University of California publications in American archaeology and Ethnology. The Bear Doctor—so asserted the last adept of this magic caft—by attiring himself in the skin of a grizzly, and going through elaborate mystical rites, could acquire extraordinary rapidity of motion and great endurance which enabled him to kill and plunder his enemies, and to glory in magic powers. Here is the story told by the last of the Pomo magicians as to how the cult of the Bear Doctors first began: Long, long ago, when there were no Indians on earth, but the birds and animals were all human, there was a large village on the western slope of a hill overlooking the northern end of Clear lake, in California. One day the bird people who lived in this village snared a large grizzly bear. Each of the birds in turn, blue jay, crow, hawk, woodpecker, robin, and all the rest—tried in vain to carry the dead grizzly back to the village. Finally, it was the smallest of all the birds which succeeded in the task, and as a reward he was presented with the grizzly's skin. As the winner was gloating one day real bears for bear doctors. He tried to jerk their heads off and found they were real bears. But none the less this hero killed both of the mighty beasts. Such were the tales of the last of the bear doctors. SCHOOL BOARD FINDS ITSELF IN QUANDARY Fullerton Trustees Run Against a New Law The Fullerton grammar school board is up a stump. The confusion has arisen largely over the discovery that cities of the sixth class can contain only one school district. Within the boundaries of that city lies part of the Orangethorpe school district and part of the Placentia school district. The problem has been threshed out in part. The boards of trustees of the three school districts sought to arbitrate the tangle before the board of supervisors and Superintendent of Schools Mitchell. The sum and substance of the conference was this: Orangethorpe is unwilling to lose the part of its school district lying in the city limits of Fullerton. The Fullerton trustees offered what they considered a fair counter proposal and the Orangethorpe board rejected it. The Fullerton board then signified its intention of standing pat and taking all that was coming to them under the law. The Orangethorpe board after the meeting, sought the advice of attorneys, with a view, it was said of seeking to block the operation of the law. While it is pretty certain, according to the belief of a member of the Fullerton board, that the Orangethorpe trustees will not be able to stop the new law, there is nevertheless some doubt as to what the ultimate out- Vincent St. John, and printed by the I. W. W. publishing bureau at New Castle, Pa., the organization was established by "six active workers in the revolutionary labor movement," in 1905, who held a conference, and who sent invitations to thirty six more men to join them in the work of organization. A constitution was adopted at the end of a twelve days' convention, with the opening line of the preamble as follows: "The working class and the employing class have nothing in common." At the second I. W. W. convention held in 1909 the preamble was amended and "Abolition of the wage system" was made the motto of the organization. In explaining why the society must take its stand against political parties, St. John states that the political sect "never misses an opportunity to assail the revolutionary workers while they are engaged in combat with some division of the ruling class." In the explanation of the structure of the organization the author further states that the basic principle of the I. W. W. calls forth the spirit of revolt, and that this basic principal makes the I. W. W. a fighting organization. "It commits the union to an unceasing struggle against private ownership and control of industry. There is but one bargain that the I. W. W. will make with the employing class—Complete surrender of all control of industry to the organized workers." "In the department of the pamphlet entitled, 'I. W. W. Tactics or Methods,' we find some rather startling beliefs disclosed. It is stated that, as a revolutionary organization, members aim to use any and all tactics that will secure the results sought, and that 'the question of right and wrong does not concern us.'" "No terms made with the employ- As the winner was gloating one day over the possession of the bear skin, he grew envious of the huge bear's powers of endurance, his ferocity, and his cunning. With his brother's aid, he dug a secret cavern at the foot of a precipice, and there after four months of work, they succeeded in making from the grizzly's pelt a ceremonial outfit rich in magic power. He who put on the bear skin with due magic rites could climb the loftiest mountains, through the thickest brush and up the steepest slopes with great speed and as much ease as though in a level open valley and could cover a hundred miles in half a day. He could tire out and outdistance the real bears, and kill them with ease. The powers so tempted the two brothers that a few days later they attacked and killed a hunter, and a few days later still another, despoiling each of his treasure and beads and food. Such murder and plunder went on until at last their secret was suspected. The men of the village ambuscaded the two brothers, attacked them from the rear, jerked the bear-head masks from their faces. They had incurred the supernatural penalty which awaited any magician who should attempt to kill more than four victims in a single year, so now their magic power was gone, and they were powerless to defend themselves from capture. The two brothers confessed their murders, told how they had dug the cavern, how they had made their ceremonial attire, and how they had performed their magic. The two culprits were stripped, the stolen goods seized, they were tied securely, placed in their own house, and the house set on fire. Thus died the first of the Bear Doctors, but their knowledge of magic lived on, handed down from generation to generation of secret wizards ever since that long past age. Sometimes women became Bear Doctors, declared Dr. Barrett's informer. Even a woman so old and feeble that she could hardly walk, he The Orangethorpe board after the meeting, sought the advice of attorneys, with a view, it was said of seeking to block the operation of the law. While it is pretty certain, according to the belief of a member of the Fullerton board, that the Orangethorpe trustees will not be able to stop the new law, there is nevertheless some doubt as to what the ultimate outcome will be and in consequence the board is to a certain extent, up in the air. The uncertainty of the Fullerton board is not knowing what the increase in the school attendance from the new source will be this year and consequently not knowing what financial provisions to make. Under a special tax, the school can get twenty-three cents on every $100. With the assessed valuation of Fullerton approximately eight millions, this would give the school a limit of $18,400. Last year the school drew $6000 special tax and finished the year on the right side of the ledger. Whrtever money is called for under the special tax will, of course, raise the school tax. Unfortunately that district will draw money for this year on a basis of the attendance last year and if portions of the Orangethorpe and Placentia school districts are absorbed, the only course the local board has to provide for the increase in the attendance that will follow is to draw on the special tax. How the change will affect that school will depend upon the grades that pupils from the new territory enter, according to Albert Sitton, a member of the board who outlined the situation that is confronting the board. If the attendance is increased by only twenty-five pupils, another teacher will have to be added to the faculty," said Trustee Sitton. "The primary department is crowded to capacity now; one teacher is in charge of a mixed class of seventh and eighth grade pupils and should a large part of the twenty-five pupils be enrolled in these grades, it will be necessary to employ two additional teachers instead of one. If, however, the pupils are scattered through the lower grades, only one extra teacher will be needed. Before making up a budget, the school board is waiting to find out as nearly as possible how the attention of standing pat and taking all that was coming to them under the law. In the department of the pamphlet entitled, "I. W. W. Tactics or Method," we find some rather startling beliefs disclosed. It is stated that, as a revolutionary organization, the members aim to use any and all tactics that will secure the results sought, and that "the question of right and wrong does not concern us." "No terms made with the employer are final. All peace so long as the wage system lasts is but an armed truce. At any favorable opportunity, the struggle for more control of industry is renewed." In connection with this, the author advises that the members do not enter into time contracts, so that they may be free to strike and paralyze all branches of industry when the employer can least afford a cessation of work, as in a busy season when there are rush orders. In further explaining the attitude members should take, during one of the recent strikes, St. John states that every effort must be made to keep other workers out of the shops, that supplies must be cut off and orders or shipments must be delayed, lost or sent astray. The use of "militant direct action tactics to the full extent" are urged. And in conclusion, it is stated that I. W. W.'s are looking forward to the time when this organization will be spread over the world so that they will be able to "decide how long they will work and how much of the wealth they produce they will give to the boss." It would be impossible to get one of these little booklets now, according to Justice Cox, for the Industrial Workers are very careful into whose hands their literature falls, of late, and are not anxious for the general public to know just what their principles and "tactics" are. SANTA ANA C. OF C. DEMANDS SPEEDY ACTION Favors a Law Compelling I. W. W.'s To Go To Work After reading accounts of I. W. W. activity or inactivity, members of the Santa Ana Chamber of Commerce decided that something must be done about it, consequently the following resolution was adopted at a recent formed their magic. The two cuprits were stripped, the stolen goods seized, they were tied securely, placed in their own house, and the house set on fire. Thus died the first of the Bear Doctors, but their knowledge of magic lived on, handed down from generation to generation of secret wizards ever since that long past age. Sometimes women became Bear Doctors, declared Dr. Barrett's informer. Even a women so old and feeble that she could hardly walk, he testified might thus acquire great powers of endurance and swiftness. The older wizard, said the Pomo narrator, was always given a large share—usually half—of all the spoils obtained by the novice he had trained in his art. The Bear Doctor and his assistant must live a life of cellacy, and must refrain from meat or from food containing blood in any form. Before going forth, he must always sing ritualistics songs invoking the aid of the supernatural brush man, rock man, shade man, spring man, pond man, mountain man and sun man. Just as sun man rose over the horizon, he must pray: "I am going to do as you do. I shall kill people. You must give me good luck." The only persons who were immune from the attacks of the bear doctors, testified the last of these wizards were the captain of a village and his immediate family—for the village captains knew all the bear doctors, and received a share of their spoils in consideration of friendly protection—municipal graft is evidently not a modern invention. The only way to overcome a bear doctor was to seize his head or shoulders and jerk off his helmet. This would completely destroy his magic powers. Once Kamaoki, a brave and powerful man who lived long ago at the Yorkville Rancheria, mistook twoacity now; one teacher is in charge of a mixed class of seventh and eighth grade pupils and should a large part of the twenty-five pupils be enrolled in these grades, it will be necessary to employ two additional teachers instead of one. If, however, the pupils are scattered through the lower grades, only one extra teacher will be needed. Before making up a budget, the school board is waiting to find out as nearly as possible, how the attendance is going to affect the schools. The grammar schools in Fullerton will open September 10. DOCTRINES ON WHICH I. W. W. IS FOUNDED Judge Cox in Possession of Pamphlet Explaining Principles Since the I. W. W. has been taking such an active part in industrial affairs recently, endeavoring to prevent people from working and embarrassing the nation in its preparations for war, people generally have been wondering what the object of this organization really is. The following from the Santa Ana Register explains their doctrine: Five years ago Justice Cox took an I. W. W. pamphet from an Industrial Worker and it was just returned to him lately by a lawyer to whom he had loaned it some time ago. Although the principles of the I. W. W.'s were analyzed some time ago by the newspapers, there are points of interest in the pamphlet which throw light on the actions of this class of people at the present time, and the part they have been taking in some of the recent labor problems. According to statements in the little red book which was edited by SANTA ANA C. OF C. DEMANDS SPEEDY ACTION Favors a Law Compelling I. W. W.'s To Go To Work After reading accounts of I. W. W. activity or inactivity, members of the Santa Ana Chamber of Commerce decided that something must be done about it, consequently the following resolution was adopted at a recent meeting: Whereas, there is an undue amount of industrial troubles, and "Whereas, statistics show that there is a permanent approximate average of two million young men in idleness, and Whereas, the continuous agitation on the part of some of these idle men is dangerous to the lives and property of our citizens and inimicable to the welfare of our nation, and Whereas, the doctrine preached by certain bands or societies of these idle parasites are directly opposed to the principles on which our nation is founded and threaten the very existence of our industries and free institutions, therefore; be it Resolved, that the chamber of commerce of Santa Ana urges the need of national legislation along the following lines: 1 That a census of labor be taken and a system of industrial conscription be put in force for the duration of the war. 2 That criminal syndicalism which may be defined as advocating crime, sabotage, violence and other unlawful methods of terrorism as a means of accomplishing industrial or political reform, be prohibited in every form under heavy penalty. Be it further resolved, that a copy of this statement and these resolu- IN ANYTHING YOU COOK requiring milk you'll get much better results if you use ours.

Some of the biggest ranchers represent the labor situation in a hopeless way. James Mills of the Mills Orchard company, which owns a 10,000 acre ranch in Colusa and Glenn counties, says he would harvest a $15,000,000 crop this year if he could get sufficient help. Mills' orchards are all young and not yet in bearing. them, although he is offering large wages. He is paying some of his help $75 to $125 a month, and yet they are leaving the ranch. GUARD DYNAMITE Information to the effect that large quantities of dynamite and blasting powder were frequently left unguarded and in places where they could easily be stolen, has resulted in the state council of defense sending out warnings that all such explosives hereafter must be carefully watched. According to information reaching the state defense body, many tons of explosives could easily be secured by enemy plotters because of the failure of mining companies, ranchers, and others to keep careful check upon them. Each county council of defense is asked to cooperate in seeing that the explosives are carefully guarded. That the warning is merely to safeguard against the theft and use of such explosives by enemy plotters and that no reports of dynamite having been stolen have reached the council, is the declaration of officials of that organization.
