CANYON ROAD IS STILL CAUSING TROUBLE WORK WILL PROBABLY BE POST-PONED BY SUPERVISORS UNTIL NEXT YEAR FINLEY DECLARES WILL REQUIRE LARGE ADDITIONAL SUM TO COMPLETE ROAD After almost two years delay since the flood of January, 1916 washed out part of the Santa Ana canyon road, and after the expenditure of $26,500 by the county of Orange, there appears every likelihood that the road will be impossable to say the least, during the coming winter and if there is a period of high water in the river, there is great danger that the whole blooming business will be swept away, and the road past Sulphur Slide again float away down the river, leaving still further delays and further expenditures of the county's money necessary. The canyon blunder came up for attention at the supervisors' meeting Wednesday afternoon, when reports were called for of the committee consisting of Supervisors Fred Struck and S. H. Finley, recently authorized to inspect and report on the canyon road work at Sulphur Slide. "Mr. Talbert, Mr. McBride and I visited the job," said Mr. Struck, "and spent three hours going over the ground." The engineer tells us 1500 feet of protection work will be necessary to make the road there safe. Koebig were again consulted with reference to the security of the work and Mr. Koebig in answer to the direct question as to what would happen to the present structure if we had a recurrence of the high water of 1916 stated that in his opinion it would go out. At the request of the board he submitted plans which he deemed necessary to be carried out in order to keep the water away from the work which has already cost us $26,500 and was guaranteed to protect the road. This additional work will cost approximately $12,500. In answer to the question as to whether or not the original expensive $26,500 structure would have been necessary had his $12,500 plan been carried out in the first place, Mr. Koebig said that it would not. In other words, we are now asked to spend an additional $12,500 to keep the water from washing under the $26,500 unnecessary structure. In my opinion it will be necessary for us to spend another $12,500 and possibly $20,000 before we can be reasonably assured of a secure road in the present location. It is a question worthy of serious consideration whether or not it would not be better to abandon the work already performed than to take a chance on having to spend $30,000 or $40,000 additional to protect it. Another matter worthy of consideration is whether or not, if the additional protection work is put in, it would not have a tendency to divert the water of the river away from the intake of the Santa Ana Valley Irrigation company to the irreparable injury of the irrigators under that system. Very respectfully submitted, S. H. FINLEY, Supervisor. CITRUS GROWERS PROTEST FUMIGATION METHODS VICE. The duties of this include filing of co- library material.

The engineer tells us 1500 feet of protection work will be necessary to make the roadwork there safe, and as there is an uncertainty about getting the lumber necessary on the protection work, Mr. Talbert and I recommend that we leave the road as it is this year and take chances on it being washed away during the winter's rains. We could not get the protection work done this year in time to get any good out of it during the winter anyway." Mr. Talbert also advised that nothing further be done this year, but take chances with the river during the winter, and plan to take protection measures in the spring. Upon inquiry of McBride as to the possibility of getting another contractor on the Job, District Attorney West said the board would have no right to interfere with the present contract. Supervisor Leck said he was in favor of doing something now if possible and take no chances that the work might be washed away during the winter. "If you are planning on doing something next spring I would advise that you get started right now," said Surveyor McBride. "It's going to take some time to get together with Mr. Irvine, Dr. Beebe, Mrs. Bryant and the S. A. V. I company, adjacent property owners, and agree on the protection work for the road which they will consent to." "I conferred with S. A. V. I officials, and I am sure they would never consent to wing dams of the length recommended by Engineer Koebig to protect the road," said Struck. The following letter from Supervisor Finley was submitted to the board, but the supervisors declare he is mistaken in his reference to the report of Consulting Engineer Koebig: Having been, in conjunction with Supervisor Struck, appointed as a committee to oversee and report on the work now in progress on the county road at Sulphur Slide, in the Santa Ana canyon, and learning that there is a disposition on the part of would not have a tendency to divert the water of the river away from the intake of the Santa Ana Valley Irrigation company to the irreparable injury of the irrigators under that system. Very respectfully submitted, S. H. FINLEY, Supervisor. CITRUS GROWERS PROTEST FUMIGATION METHODS Claim That Inspectors are Careless in Their Work Practically all the citrus growers of the county were represented Wednesday in a protest to the board of supervisors of the way in which fumigation of the groves for scale is now carried out and the method and kind of inspection. Delegates from the Anaheim, Fullerton and Yorba Linda districts, and representing the associations of those places said the present inspectors are not satisfactory and do not see that the laws are obeyed. Delegates from the Olive-Orange-Tustin districts appeared satisfied with the present day inspectors, but they want a night inspector appointed who will see that the actual fumigation is done when and in the manner which is most advisable. The north county delegation indicated it would be satisfied if a competent and satisfactory inspector is appointed who will see that all fumigation is done properly and that all advisable fumigation is really done. Some of them also indicated a desire for a night inspector. It was suggested a way out of the difficulty would be for the fruit associations to recommend an inspector who would then be appointed by Horticultural Commissioner Roy K. Bishop. A conference with Mr. Bishop was suggested by Chairman Talbert as a feasible way of settling the question. "We have the best fumigation regulations of any county," said one northern man, "but what we want is to see that these regulations are obeyed. We have very little results from the inspection that has been done. We want a man who will do the work—not just fill the office." The delegation said they had protested on present conditions to Mr. Bishop but had seen little effect. One man said the growers of his district would like to see a test made of the acid gas used in scenic drives of Soil that it will soon become junk men to discontinuing routes and take to where excellent pickets.

At the time the plans were adopted and the contract awarded 1 was not a member of the board of supervisors but was in the employ of the county as chief engineer of the Orange County Highway Commission and as such officer opposed, as occasion arose, the adoption of the contract under them. The contract was awarded over the protest of the county surveyor and without the definite approval of Koebig & Koebig, the consulting engineers, or any engineer other than the contractor who prepared them and who was awarded the contract to execute the work. Developments during more than a year in which the work has been in progress, have not caused me to change my opinion of the advisability and effectiveness of the work. My understanding is that the work was entered upon with the assurance that it would not cost to exceed $23,000 to secure the protection desired. Even before the work was started a weakness was discovered which seemed to make it necessary to make additions to the extent of $2500. At our recent meeting Koebig & "We have the best rumigation regulations of any county," said one northern man, "but what we want is to see that these regulations are obeyed. We have very little results from the inspection that has been done. We want a man who will do the work—not just fill the office." The delegation said they had protested on present conditions to Mr. Bishop but had seen little effect. One man said the growers of his district would like to see a test made of the acid gas used in fumigation, and declared such a test is possible with an instrument he has, contrary to the statement of Mr. Bishop. Supervisor Finley said the question is one of vital interest to the citrus growers, and he would like to see inspectors recommended by the fruit associations appointed, so they would be satisfied. Among south of the river delegates present to protest present inspection conditions were J. A. King of the Orange County Fumigation company, Ben Cole, Willard Smith, Will McFadden, J. A. Maag, B. A. Crawford, A. G. Finley, and A. M. Robinson. Messrs. Mills and Tuffree were two spokesmen from the Anaheim-Fullerton district. An early conference with Commissioner Bishop was planned, at which the situation will be discussed and an amicable solution sought.

CALIFORNIA SCENIC VIEWS DECORATED WITH JUNK Automobile Club is Endeavoring to Make a Clean Up Rags, bottles and sacks are accumulating to such a degree on some of the scenic drives of Southern California that it will soon become profitable for junk men to discontinue their urban routes and take to the canyon roads where excellent pickings can be had. The distribution of old papers along the improved highways is evidently become a favorite pastime of idle motorists who sacrifice scenic splendor to make a Roman holiday. Officials of the Auto Club of Southern California have been moved to action by the remarkable sight offered to writing to the college of agriculture. High producing cows yield the largest profit to the dairyman. To make such cows do their best, says the university, they must be fed grain and silage in addition to alfalfa. While the feed they eat will cost more than that fed to average dairy cows it pays to have good dairy cows and to feed them in this way. The succulence and the palatability of silage both aid in increasing the yield of milk of dairy cows. Another important character of silage is that it is of a starchy composition and relatively low in protein, and therefore ideal to be fed with high protein alfalfa in the great dairy feed of California. Plans for constructing silos cheaply can be obtained free by any farmer by writing to the university at Davis. For California conditions, Indian corn seems to be the best silage crop to plant on irrigated land, with sweet sorghum a close second, but for dry farming or where the water supply is limited the grain sorghum, milo and eterita, or Sudan grass may be placed first. Average yields of ten to fifteen tons of green forage have been obtained at the university farm during the past four years on grain land receiving one irrigation, in the case of Indian corn, sweet sorghum, milo, eterita, and Sudan grass. All these crops—if cut at the time approaching maturity for Indian corn and when fully matured for the other crops—produced silage of excellent quality and palatability, and of special value as succulent feed for dairy and beef cattle, as well as sheep during the late summer and winter season. Per unit of dry matter furnished in the rations of silage fed at the farm, those containing sweet sorghums proved slightly more efficient than the rations containing Indian corn silage,, but Indian corn silage proved STOLE GAS WITH A RUBBER CONTRIVANCE Tustin Man Helps Himself Without Paying for it A complaint was sworn to by S. W. Todd, who charges Fred E. Morgan with an attempt to injure and defraud the Southern Counties Gas company on August 4. It is stated that Morgan arranged devices so that he secured gas without its being recorded on the meter. The case came up for trial Thursday morning in Justice Cox's court, and Morgan, who pleaded guilty to the charge, was given thirty days suspended sentence. Leniency was shown Morgan, who failed to pay his bills this spring and summer, as it was stated that sickness and financial trouble has existed for some time in his family. The gas was shut off a few weeks ago, and recent investigation disclosed the fact that Morgan, who is a Tustin blacksmith, had connected the gas pipes on each side of the meter with a rubber hose. One of the gas company's employees announces that an investigator, who makes unexpected calls at houses where it is believed that the inmates are getting gas free gratis, has been making the rounds lately, and that a complaint will be sworn out within the next few days against an Anaheim party. Three years ago a former employee of the company, who also lived in Anaheim, was found to be using the rubber hose device for securing gas free. The company plans to hunt these cases down, and to prosecute such offenders. FOR SALE OR RENT—Lands in the City of Stanton with water; five acres up, for sale on easy terms, or rent on shares. Apply to P.A. scenic drives of Southern California that it will soon become profitable for junk men to discontinue their urban routes and take to the canyon roads where excellent pickings can be had. The distribution of old papers along the improved highways is evidently become a favorite pastime of idle motorists who sacrifice scenic splendor to make a Roman holiday. Officials of the Auto Club of Southern California have been moved to action by the remarkable sight offered to eastern visitors in Topango canyon near Santa Monica, where one of the most unique displays of romantic old newspapers, paper sacks, bottles and ruined tin cans is offered for exhibition. Photographs secured there at the behest of the Auto Club directors are illuminative of the care and thoughtfulness which some motorists exercise in distributing their souvenirs of a pleasant day spent beneath the trees and around the picnic grounds maintained for their use. All the art of the old can distributor has been exercised in Topango. Evidently dissatisfied with the methods employed by nature to beautify the Topango hills by draping them in shrubbery, the discerning and careful picnics (some of them more careful about it than others) have thoughtfully taken it upon themselves to add to naature's decorative scheme with ideas of their own. These ideas materialize in the form of a tin can and greasy paper frieze along each part of the road, this frieze being occasionally set off with a mis-spent beer bottle or two. Pickle jars, looted of their contents, are also displayed here and there. Bits of gunny sacking and oiled waste have also been found very effective by the artists. Empty pasteboard pie plates couchant under oak trees rampant also attract attention. But now it is believed that this form of highway decoration has been developed to its highest form, and Auto Club officials are suggesting that it be discontinued in view of the fact that a large number of eastern visitors have expressed a desire to see the California roads au natural—in their native dress. Other beauty spots throughout the Southern part of the state than Topango have received the considerate attention of the well meaning souls who wish to "tin can" the highways. It is suggested by the club that maturely matured for the other crops—produced silage of excellent quality and palatability, and of special value as succulent feed for dairy and beef cattle, as well as sheep during the late summer and winter season. Per unit of dry matter furnished in the rations of silage fed at the farm, those containing sweet sorghums proved slightly more efficient than the rations containing Indian corn silage., but Indian corn silage proved about ten per cent more efficient than the rations containing Sudan grass silage. One advantage the California dairy man has in the use of the silo is that under California climate and crop conditions silos may be filled twice a year and their capacity thus doubled. STATE WANTS AUDITORS The California State Civil Service commission is to hold an examination for the position of auditor with the state building and loan commission. The salary is $1800 per annum. The duties of this position include the auditing of the books of building and loan associations coming under the supervision of the building and loan commission, and the making of reports based on such audits. Candidates must be experienced auditors. Those with building and loan experience are preferred. The examination will consist of an oral interview and a rating for experience. No written test will be given. All applications must be filed with the commission at Sacramento by September 24, 1917. An examination is also to be held for the position of assistant auditor for the state corporation department. The salary for this position is $2100 a year with a good opportunity for advancement. The duties of this position include the reviewing of reports and the making of examinations of corporations coming under the supervision of the state corporation department. Candidates are required to have had experience with at least one year in the office of a public accountant; or two years' experience in the preparation of consolidated balance sheets and operating accounts in the office of a large holding corporation; or the equivalent. The examination will consist of an oral interview and a rating for experience. No written test will be given. The applications should be filed... CAN INCREASE YIELD OF DAIRY COWS State Farm Experts Say Proper Feeding Will Add One-Fourth to Product The yield of a dairy herd can be increased by from one-tenth to one-fourth by feeding silage made of milo, sweet sorghum or Indian corn. That such results can be achieved with cows which previously had only alfalfa hay, or alfalfa with grain feed, is shown by a four years' test recently completed on the university farm at Davis. How dairymen may reap the profit of these tests is told in a bulletin on "Trials with California Forage Crops for Dairy Cows," written by F. W. Woll, professor of animal nutrition and E. C. Voorhies, assistant professor of animal husbandry in the university, just published and obtainable free by vision of the state corporation department. Candidates are required to have had experience with at least one year in the office of a public accountant; or two years' experience in the preparation of consolidated balance sheets and operating accounts in the office of a large holding corporation; or the equivalent. The examination will consist of an oral interview and a rating for experience. No written test will be given. The applications should be filed with the commission at Sacramento not later than October 3, 1917. Candidates for these examinations must be American citizens residing in California who are not more than 50 years of age. Application blanks and further information may be secured from the state civil service commission at any of the following offices: Room 733, Forum Bldg., Sacramento; Room 10, Ferry Bldg., San Francisco, and Room 1007, Hall of Records, Los Angeles. Here is Billy Sunday's advice on getting married: "Take things easy. Don't be in a hurry to propose; wait a while. Never ask a girl to marry you while she is dressed up. Wait till you find her in her old clothes. Talk the matter over in the evening. Forget your gloves and go back early next morning after them. If your girl meets you with a slipper on one foot and a shoe on the other, her hair disheveled and eyes looking dreamy and sad, for God's sake let her alone. You don't need her. But if she has a smile on her face and gingham apron on, a rose in her hair and is getting ready to help her mother do the family wash, grab her at once. You will never make a mistake." All of which is some homey philosophy that is worth reading and assimilation by the young people of both sexes. Dr. W.W.
