He was endowed with a sense of justice that guided him in all the activities of his life and dignified his profession. He was not only a deep but a wholesome thinker. His final conclusions were always based on exhaustive investigation and when once formed were clearly and forcefully expressed. He made the water problem of this state his life study and he had already obtained the distinction in this state of being generally considered the authority in all matters involving water questions. We feel but find it hard to express the great loss this community, county and state have sustained, but we realize that the results of the work that he has done in this state will be manifest for years to come. His mark was high, his death has left many vacancies that will be hard to fill but his ideals will still be with us and will continue to be an inspiration to us all, and his life, short as it was, is especially worthy of our emulation. Now, Therefore, be it resolved that the few and inadequate words of appreciation herein expressed be spread upon our minutes and a copy of the same, duly certified, be sent to the bereaved family of Mr. Keech to whom our most profound sympathy is extended. Report of the finance committee was read and approved and warrants ordered drawn in payment of the various demands therein recommended. Report of the Treasurer and Superintendent were each in turn received and filed. On motion duly seconded the president and secretary were authorized to execute a warrant in favor of the Western Instrument for the amount of their bill, $116. On motion duly seconded the superintendent was instructed to tear flume No. 8 down and use the lumber in construction work as needed. On motion duly seconded the superintendent was instructed to commence immediately on the construction of the Venture Tube.

The machine has been demonstrated to be as near perfect as it is possible to develop it and has given the very best of satisfaction wherever operated. The installation of the cutler in association packing houses has effected a great saving in the cost of culling. It is generally understood that the firm received in the neighborhood of $1000 for the patent. The firm was given the exclusive right of installing the plants. Bishop and Cole have just been awarded the contract for building a large bean warehouse at Saticoy. It is said it will be the largest house of its character in Ventura county. It will be 80x250 feet and with equipment will cost $26,000. STILL FINING THEM Justice Cox collected $250 in fines for the operation of punch boards on Monday morning. R. H. Enloe of Long Beach paid $200, he being an agent who has put outfits into the county, while the Husted and Schimer pool rooms of Brea each paid $25 for having the outfits operating. These fines make $850 collected through the prosecutions made by Dep- Anahelm Gazette INTERCROPPING PAYS Orchard Owners Plant Beans, Tomatoes and Potatoes Between Rows Of Young Trees That a farmer with some training and close application can make the rich lands of the South produce a good living on five or ten acre lots is being proved in the Yucaipa valley. Much of the land in the valley has been planted to apple trees, but the five and ten acre orchards are many of them just a year or two old and will not be bearing for three or four years. With the call for a greater food production, the farmers there began to plant crops between the rows of young apple trees and the results have been so good that there is no doubt but that the practice will be continued. Potatoes, beans and tomatoes have been planted in large quantities and this year the crops are going to be heavy. One man who planted potatoes early gathered over 400 sacks of potatoes, which were worth in the market about $1200, a net profit to him of almost $1000. He expects to double the production in the fall crop. Beans have also been doing very well and have needed no more irrigation than the apple trees demanded. Tomato plants were furnished the farmers of the valley by the Kublas company of Redlands and the crop from the valley alone will keep the big cannery running for several weeks. No ground is being wasted and not only have the farmers produced more utility District Attorney Koepsel of operators of punch boards and slot machines. Several other cases are pending that will probably bring the total to $1300. QUARTER OF MILLION AUTOS IN THE STATE Orange County Now Has Nearly Seven Thousand Machines Orange county this year registered 6864 automobiles and 840 motorcycles. This is one auto for each eight persons, which is probably the largest percentage of any section of the world. California's registration passes the 250,000 mark this season. Los Angeles county leads with 78,143 autos and 7501 motorcycles. Alpine county is at the tail end of the list with only 15 autos and no motorcycles, following is the number owned by each county: | County | Automobiles | Motorcycles | | :--- | :--- | :--- | | Alameda | 17,137 | 1,871 | | Alpine | 15 | ... | Amador | 513 | 14 | | Butte | 2,223 | 195 | | Calaveras | 440 | 26 | | Colusa | 967 | 69 | | Contra Costa | 2,395 | 320 | | Del Norte | 152 | 5 | | El Dorado | 396 | 18 | | Fresno | 11,264 | 1,120 | | Glenn | 1,023 | 97 | | Humboldt | 1,857 | 251 | | Imperial | 3,399 | 141 | | Inyo | 521 | 4 | | Kern | 6,399 | 556 | | Kings | 2,132 | 110 | | Lake | 404 | 18 | | Lassen | 429 | 13 | | Los Angeles | 78,143 | 7,501 | | Madera | 824 | 93 | | Marin | 1,300 | 99 | | Mendocino | 1,077 | 32 | | Mariposa | 164 | 5 | Merced | 1,674 | 148 | Modoc | 368 | 8 | Mono | 43 | ...

Keech which asks for letters testimony of the estate which is valued at $14,300. S. M. Davis is attorney for the petitioner. The will names Mrs. Keech as executrix of the estate, and leaves everything to her, as it is stated that the maker of the will desires his wife to have charge of all his property. There are two codicils to the will, the first of which provides for the distribution of the estate among the attorney's children in case Amella Keech should die before the death of her husband occurred. The second codicil leaves E. E. Keech's law library to Douglass Keech, in case he should wish to follow the law practice before the distribution of the estate occurs. ELK FIGHT STANDING UP Vivid Pen Picture of a Photographer Among Elk Near Yellowstone National Park The popular idea of fighting deer pictures them with locked horns. Elk, however, fight erect on their hind legs their heads thrown back. In this position they stab viciously at each other with their sharp front hoofs and often inflict serious wounds. It is a very human way of fighting. These sparring contests often develop high skill. S. N. Leek, who lives just south of the Yellowstone Park boundary and in sight of the lordly Teton mountains which some day will be included in the national park, has spent many years among the great herds of elk which swarm back and forth between the Jackson Hole country and the safe ket about $1200, a net profit to him of almost $1000. He expects to double the production in the fall crop. Beans have also been doing very well and have needed no more irrigation than the apple trees demanded. Tomato plants were furnished the farmers of the valley by the Kubias company of Redlands and the crop from the valley alone will keep the big cannery running for several weeks. No ground is being wasted and not only have the farmers produced more than enough garden truck to supply themselves, but they have also had some to sell. So far as can be seen, the intercropping has had no effect on the growth or strength of the apple trees and even in the groves that are now bearing, the fruit is doing well. The apple crop in the valley this year will be a large one and it is expected that over 125,000 boxes of fine apples will be ready for the market in October and November. Because of the shortage of citrus fruits, the apple growers are assured of a big price for their apples during the coming winter. Plans are now being made for a factory to take care of the cull apples in the making of cider and apple butter. WOMEN'S CAMPAIGN FOR THE LIBERTY LOAN The women of America did splendid work for the first issue of Liberty Loan bonds and are making preparations now for a more complete organization and more thorough work for the next issue of bonds which is to be announced later by Secretary of the Treasury McAdoo. The plan of campaign for the next issue adopted by the woman's liberty loan committee, with headquarters at Washington, makes the state unit of organization and provides for the utilization of established organizations in promoting the sale of the bonds. The committee has appointed in each state and territorial division of the United States a chairman, who will have at her command the organizations of women in her state who have been banded by the state units of the woman's committee of the council of national defense and the Liberty Loan committees of women which were established independently during the first issue and remaining intact for the second campaign.

"All right," said the doctor, who is now a farmer and a good one, too. "I'll come in the day before. I used to have a middle name, but I dropped it, as I had enough name without it." The doctor farmer was in court as complainant against Pablo Madrano, charged with stealing seventy-five pounds of onions from the rancher. If the Mexican had stolen a few letters er with their sharp front hoofs and often inflict serious wounds. It is a very human way of fighting. These sparring contests often develop high skill. S. N. Leek, who lives just south of the Yellowstone Park boundary and in sight of the lordly Teton mountains which some day will be included in the national park, has spent many years among the great herds of elk which swarm back and forth between the Jackson Hole country and the safe refuge of the park wilderness. His adventures as a photographer are many and interesting. Here is an extract from a recent letter: To get the photographs of fighting elk was both interesting and tiresome. After they were fed hay, I would stop the sleigh in as good a position as possible. Then I would set up the camera within a few feet of the sleigh, draw the dark slide, set the shutter, and bulb in hand, await what might happen. The elk, before they rear up, usually hold their heads high in the air and make a peculiar clicking, snapping noise with their mouth, which at the time is held partly open so that their tucks will show. On hearing this noise, the camerar instantly swung in that direction. If the brewing storm proves to be more than a quarrel, the two animals rear in the air together, and slug each other with their fore feet. The object of each seems to be to strike the other on the lower jaw. For this reason each holds its head as far from the other's fore feet as possible. Blows are landed that sound as it struck with sledge hammers. Each bout is of only a few seconds duration; the vanquished lights on his fore feet, running to escape the cruel thrust that is sure to be delivered with lightning quickness. Sometimes the wait is long between each scrap; then it most usually ends in a clicking noise. The fight is nearly always in a dense bunch of elk where no picture worth while can be secured. Hours of constant watching often result in no exposure; or several exposures may be made during the time without a single picture. While it is aggravating to spend days without results, nevertheless, it gives a splendid chance to study the animals. Elk cows fight the same as the bulls, and cows will fight bulls and very often whip them. Once I saw a cow knock a bull over back completely out of her pen. each state and territorial division of the United States a chairman, who will have at her command the organizations of women in her state who have been banded by the state units of the woman's committee of the council of national defense and the Liberty Loan committees of women which were established independently during the first issue and remaining intact for the second campaign. Through these organizations each state chairman will be able to organize every county, city, town or village in her state. The general committee has also appointed chairmen in each of the 12 Federal Reserve banking districts in the United States. These chairmen serve as delegates from the Woman's committee to the Liberty Loan committees of their various banking districts, cooperating with the latter on all matters pertaining to the relations of women to the Liberty Loan. They also act as intermediaries between the Liberty Loan committees of their districts and the state chairmen whose territories lie within the Federal Reserve districts. By means of constant communications with the state chairmen the district chairmen will keep the latter in touch with the Federal Reserve Liberty Loan work, supplementing the directive labors of the woman's Liberty Loan committee at Washington. F. K. Gresswell left Sunday on a two-weeks' vacation at Convict Lake, being accompanied by a number of his children and grandchildren. Besides Mr. Gresswell the party consisted of Mr. and Mrs. E. Smith and two children of Los Angeles, Herbert Gresswell of the same place, G. Owen and daughter of Pasadena, D. Pryor, two sons and a daughter of Huntington Park. Dr. M. M.

Hours of constant watching often result in no exposure; or several exposures may be made during the time without a single picture. While it is aggravating to spend days without results, nevertheless, it gives a splendid chance to study the animals. Elk cows fight the same as the bulls, and cows will fight bulls and very often whip them. Once I saw a cow knock a bull over backwards completely out; one of her fore feet reached his lower jaw. Another time I saw a horn knocked off; it went whirling ten feet in the air, while the bull that had lost it went away holding his head as some people do when they have a bad tooth pulled. MOST CITRUS SCALE KILLED BY HEAT This season is an unprecedented opportunity to kill the highest percentage of scale in Southern California citrus orchards, according to Dr. H. J. Quayle of the Citrus Experiment Station at Riverside. On account of the hot wave in June, which killed most of the eggs, young and even adults in Riverside and San Bernardino counties, the next generation will be more evenly developed than usual and can be fumigated at the right time to kill a very large per cent of them. Since there is also plenty of cyanide it seems far cheaper to clean out the scale this year than it will be again. There was a great difference in the percentage of kill due to the heat in different localities. Around Rialto, according to Horticultural Inspector S. J. Bolser, all scale eggs under the shells and all young scale were killed. Only where foliage was thick and the insects inside the trees were there any survivors. These were in or just out of the rubbery stage and will re- Visit Our New Store 121 East Center Street Formerly Petermann's Grocery We are combining our two stores and will soon be in shape to give you prices and service that will command your pa- two stores and will soon be in shape to give you prices and service that will command your patronage. Moody’s Cash Grocery P. G. FITZGERALD; Prop, infest the orchards unless properly fumigated. As there has been no hatch since the hot spell, the next generation will be evenly developed for fumigation six or eight weeks later than usual. The kill around Rialto was most complete where the hot wind blew through the northern mountain passes on two of the three days of the hot spell. In the Riverside, Corona, Redlands and Highlands districts some orchards will not need fumigation, believes Prof. Quayle; though occasional individuals of all stages are alive in many orchards and should be treated. From Ontario and Upland westward fumigation will be needed, while near the coast not enough were killed to make any difference in treatment. Dryness in connection with the hot spell seems to have been the killer agent. The slaughter was greatest on neglected trees and all others of thin foliage.
