REFORESTATION COMMITTEE MEETING BEST METHOD OF CURBING THE TURBULENT SANTA ANA IS SUBJECT OF DISCUSSION PROTECTION DISTRICTS THAT ARE NOW BUILDING WILL DIVERT MORE WATER INTO THE CHANNEL The Tri-Counties Reforestation committee met at the Glenwood hotel, Riverside, on October 11. The theme of discussion was the necessity for proper flood control of the Santa Ana river. The matter was discussed by members of the committee and by others interested in the subject outside of the committee. W. G. Mason of Anaheim addressed the meeting on the conditions existing on the lower Santa Ana river and favoring a flood control district as against local or segregated flood control districts. W. E. Pedley gave a statement of the effect of check dams on flood control stating that while it was a fact that the small reservoirs above the dams eventually filled with silt, nevertheless they prevented the synchronizing of stream flow and were a valuable means of preventing flood damage. Geo. Robertson of Mentone gave an and bringing them all under one working organization. It seems to the writer that the big questions for this committee are: 1. Whether or not we are to push forward with the idea of forming a district for the prevention of floods and the conservation of water on the Santa Ana river. 2. If we are to persevere in such work, shall it be on a comprehensive scale, taking in the whole water shed or piece meal by small districts attempting to solve their local problems. That there is a necessity for the formation of a district taking in the whole Santa Ana river and water shed is evidenced by the fact that the subject of flood control is being agitated in all three of the counties at the present time when there is no immediate danger from floods and that work has been done during the past year and further work is being contemplated for the prevention of flood damage in all three of the counties. Newspapers report that the county of San Bernardino, through its highway commission, is about to construct check dams in Sand canyon to prevent damage to county property. There is being contemplated at the present time a storm protection district in the Yucaipa valley, and by the way, the tentative plans of this district were to concentrate the water and carry it over to San Mateo canyon, which would mean an increased amount of water reaching the Santa Ana river through this channel. Another project in San Bernardino county is for the formation of a flood protection district on Lytle creek and its tentative plans were for the construction of wing dams along the sides of the creek to confine the water to a straight central channel. This would mean the carrying of immense quantities of debris and detritus down Lytle creek into Warm creek and into the Santa Ana river, a sample of which was experienced during the floods of 1916, without concentrating the waters of this torrential stream in a well defined channel. The people in Orange county are constantly advocating the matter of protection works to prevent flood damage. A recent election held there on the question of the formation of a scheme of flood control of the Santa Ana will certainly not problem as it would be attempted on the way. At the meeting held at the Glenwood Hotel followed the big flood of 1916 (our late fellow E. Keech, a man who thoroughly posted off isolation in this state, yer stated to this comm was no law on the street that time under which or conservation district organized in more than Steps were immediately a bill prepared and in legislation so that he formed comprising her shed regardless of The result was the bill to.

E. Pedley gave a statement of the effect of check dams on flood control stating that while it was a fact that the small reservoirs above the dams eventually filled with silt, nevertheless they prevented the synchronizing of stream flow and were a valuable means of preventing flood damage. Geo. Robertson of Mentone gave an interesting talk on the geological formation of the mountains and the effect of velocity of water on carrying of silt and erosion of land thereby. Mr. Yokam spoke of the necessity for conservation of water on account of the valuable crops that could be raised from water that was now running to waste. Geo. A. Atwood who is largely interested in Yucaipa thought that it would be possible to impound water in large reservoirs. Samuel Armour of Orange who has had an experience as a supervisor of Orange county favored large districts as against small districts, stating that in his experience small districts had never been effective in flood control. On motion of E. A. Chase, a committee consisting of the executive committee, the chairman and secretary of the general committee was authorized and directed to call one or more mass meetings of interested parties in the three counties to formulate some plan for proper flood control and conservation of storm water. The chairman read a report which was as follows: To The Tri-Counties Reforestation Committee: Gentlemen:— The last meeting being a special meeting called for the purpose of considering the matter of delivering water by mutual companies to non-stockholders, the usual business of the committee was deferred until a later meeting. It is with regret that your chairman reports that little success attended our efforts for the enactment of laws at the last session of the legislature. The usual bill for the appropriation of $5,000 for the cooperative work with the federal government on our watershed which has passed the last four or five sessions of the legislature was not reported out of committee. The fact that finances for war purposes loomed large on the horizon about the time the legislature adjourned no doubt was partly responsible for the defeat of this bill. It may also be that it was expected that it would go through as usual and being over-confluent we did not importure the legislation. The people in Orange county are constantly advocating the matter of protection works to prevent flood damage. A recent election held there on the question of the formation of a flood protection district resulted in a heavy vote against the formation on the alleged ground that it was inadvisable to form a small district for the protection of a portion of the Santa Ana river. Without taking either side of the local controversy it is not too much to say that the fight was not made against protection systems in general, but against a protection system that would only protect a small section of the river. The county of Orange also has a problem of flood control for the protection of its highway system in the Santa Ana canyon that is ever present and a constant menace to the highway which has cost the county a large amount of money. Another reason for proper flood control on the Santa Ana river that affects all three of the counties is Newport Harbor. The indomitable will of the people of Newport Beach and Balboa to improve the harbor has finally resulted in work actually being done in the construction of a jetty at the mouth of the harbor which is to be followed by the dredging of channels in Newport Bay up to Newport itself. If the Santa Ana river is to go uncontrolled it must result in the carrying into Newport Bay of large amounts of silt which will to a greater or less degree, depending on the size and duration of the floods, nullify the work that is being done at Newport that would, if protected, be of benefit to all three of the counties interested in the control of the Santa Ana river. Even a brief consideration of the many and wide spread efforts that are being made locally for the control of flood water on the Santa Ana river must convince any impartial observer that there is a crying need for a comprehensive system of flood control. Assuming that to be the fact let us go a little further and consider how it should be done, if at all. Some believe in check dams; others in reforestation and protection of brush and timber on the water sheds; others in spreading and thereby conserving storm water; others in river bank protection. The adherents of these different methods in some instances at least have no doubt confined their efforts to their particular olacity, and the method which seems to them to afford the most immediate relief, regardless of the best method for controlling and conserving the waters of the whole stream. Fortunately work has been carried on for years past in every one of these different ways for the prevention of of the creek to confine the water to a straight central channel. This would mean the carrying of immense quantities of debris and detritus down Lytle creek into Warm creek and into the Santa Ana river, a sample of which was experienced during the floods of 1916, without concentrating the waters of this torrential stream in a well defined channel. The annual teachers' conference will be held this year, during the first day of the Christmas vacation time the city will be entertained over 400 teachers over the county. On Thursday and Friday week the teachers will attend Southern California Teachers Convention at Los Angeles. The coming institute first held outside of Sam Fullerton contingent to tentate started in to win for Fullerton for 1917 and The program has not considered, but it will still make, and with Dr. H. union high school and t the educational lines The usual bill for the appropriation of $5,000 for the cooperative work with the federal government on our watershed which has passed the last four or five sessions of the legislature was not reported out of committee. The fact that finances for war purposes loomed large on the horizon about the time the legislature adjourned no doubt was partly responsible for the defeat of this bill. It may also be that it was expected that it would go through as usual and being over-confident we did not importune the legislators or the governor sufficiently to secure its enactment into law. The conservancy act which has had the attention of this committee at several of its meetings in the past two years passed both branches of the legislature but failed to receive executive approval. It is with satisfaction, however, that your chairman reports better success with reference to the Newlands bill. The last reports from Geo. H. Maxwell from Washington stated that the bill had passed the conferes so that it had every prospect at that time of becoming a law, however in a very much amended form from the original draft of the bill. The original bill called for a very large appropriation. The bill as now amended provides for the appropriation of $100,000 for the preparation of plans and making of estimates along lines provided in the original bill. It is expected, that after the plans and estimates are submitted a larger appropriation may be secured for the carrying on of the work. The best thing about it is that the principle of the Newlands Bill is incorporated in this bill for the creation of a waterways commission to be composed of the secretaries of war, interior, agriculture and commerce as members with a subordinate board of river-regulation to be composed of the chairman, who shall be a member of the waterways commission, four technical aids representing the four secretaries, and also one representative of the great natural hydrographic basins of the United States. By this means it is intended to utilize all of the data that has been collected by these different departments, coordinating all of the governmental agencies that have had to do with river regulation, flood control in all of their many branches, in reforestation and protection of brush and timber on the water sheds; others in spreading and thereby conserving storm water; others in river bank protection. The adherents of these different methods in some instances at least have no doubt confined their efforts to their particular oligality, and the method which seems to them to afford the most immediate relief, regardless of the best method for controlling and conserving the waters of the whole stream. Fortunately work has been carried on for years past in every one of these different ways for the prevention of flood damage so that it is not necessary now to begin at the beginning in an experimental way to determine what is the best method of flood control and conservation and the utilization of flood water, making it a valuable asset instead of a menace and a liability. Any one who will examine the trees planted by Prof. Lukens on the dry foot hills back of Pasadena will immediately concede the fact that it is possible to reforest successfully the southern slopes of our mountains. Anyone who has made an impartial and careful study of the system of check dams, built under the supervision of Engineer Omstead in the Haynes can you certainly conclude that there is great value in these check dams in lessening the flood flow from a given water shed, provided the whole water shed is properly and thoroughly treated. Anyone who has examined or studied the spreading of storm water on the debris cone at the mouth of the Santa Ana river or elsewhere, when he is shown that it is possible to sink 160 inches per acre continuously on these gravel beds, at an elevation of from 400 to 500 feet above the San Bernardino artesian basin, and only five miles distant from it, must also conclude that such water must have a beneficial effect in replenishing the underground basin and other streams flowing in the valley and certainly the diversion of 10,000 to 12,000 inches of water from the river has that much effect in lessening the flood flow. It has been demonstrated that pile and wire dams and rock rip rap will, if properly constructed, control flood water to a very great extent. The idea which I desire to bring out is this—that by a comprehensive Anaheim Gazette scheme of flood control and conservation of the Santa Ana river every one of these methods which have been tried out and found successful could and should be put in tooperation. If the methods of preventing run off are utilized to their fullest possible extent, on the watershed and at the base of the mountains, the matter of controlling the floods on the lower Santa Ana will certainly not be as great a problem as it would be if no control is attempted on the water shed. At the meeting held in May, 1916, at the Glenwood Hotel (this meeting followed the big flood of January, 1916) our late fellow member, Mr. E. E. Keech, a man who was certainly thoroughly posted on flood control legislation in this state, you will remember stated to this committee that there was no law on the statute books at that time under which a flood control or conservation district could be organized in more than one county. Steps were immediately taken to have a bill prepared and if possible pass the legislature so that a district might be formed comprising the whole water shed regardless of county lines. The result was the bill above referred to. It was prepared after many months of conferences with other interested parties, consultations with the best attorneys we could get who gave their services gratuitously and the result as above stated is that the law is not yet upon the statute books and there is no means (if Mr. Keech was correct) by which a district may be formed, the boundaries of which shall extend over a whole water shed regardless of county lines. It has occurred to the writer that it might be possible to get the supervisors of each one of the three counties through which the Santa Ana river flows to instruct their county surveyor to cooperate with the county surveyors of the other counties, making a committee of three, and the three counties jointly, through their boards of supervisors select a consulting engineer to work with the county surveyors, to formulate a plan and make an estimate of the cost of a system of conservation and flood control, utilizing every known method to hold the water back on the water sheds, to conserve it and sink it at the base of the mountains and to bring upon police regulation of movement of plants and fruits from one section to another. The first day will be given over to discussion of questions of the year or the problems which have confronted various county horticultural commissioners. State Commissioner Hecke will have charge of these meetings. There will also be present representatives of the United States department of agriculture and of the United States biological survey. Specialists of the survey will give information regarding squirrel control. Representatives of the state government having to do with state lands are invited to be present and it is hoped a method will be devised through which control of pests on such lands may be secured. Standardization will take up the second day of the horticultural commissioners' convention. There are many problems as to maturity standardization of our fruits, especially of citrus fruits, in which there is as yet no decision as to "color line," "eight to one." The state convention of fruit growers opens on Wednesday morning/the 21st. There will be the usual opening welcome, report of the commission and reports from various fruit growers' and shippers' associations. In the afternoon there will be discussion of the matter of production of better fruits, led by Dr. H. J. Webber. Prof. C. B. Lipman will discuss soils, especially as affected by cover crops. This day's session leads up to the evening session which will be a standardization meeting by Eastern specialists, presumably those who have had to do with the selling of California products and who can give information as to the attitude of the Eastern market. Standardization of deciduous and citrus fruits both will be discussed. NOTICE OF ABANDONMENT OF HIGHWAYS NOTICE IS HEREBY given to all freeholders in Anahelm Road District that the hearing of the petition of W. J. Elliott, et al., filed on the 3rd day of October, 1917, to vacate, discontinue, abandon and abolish certain streets and alleys and portions of certain streets and alleys, in Anahelm Road District, in Orange County, California, has been set for Wednesday the 7th day of November, 1917, at 10 o'clock, A.M. at the room of the Board of Supervisors in the Court House at Santa Ana, California. Said streets and alleys and portions of streets and alleys are: That certain 15-foot street extending from the Northeasterly corner of Lot 16, Addition No. 1 of the Anahelm Cemetery as shown on a map recorded in Book 1, Pages 8 and 9, Record of Surveys of Orange County, California, and from the Northwesterly corner of Lot 8, Addition No. 1, Southerly to the Southeastern corner of Lot 12, and the Southwesterly corner of Lot 11 of said Addition, excepting therefrom all cross-streets and alleys; And that certain 20-foot street extending from the Northeasterly corner of Lot 85 of the Anahelm Cemetery, and the Northwesterly corner of Lot 100, Southerly to the Southeastern corner of chain plat No. 5, and the Southwesterly corner of chain plat No. 6 as shown on said map, including all cross-streets and alleys, except those not abandoned by these proceedings. And that certain 20-foot street extending from the Northeasterly corner of Lot 26 of said Addition No. 1, and the Northwesterly corner of Lot 17 of said Addition. Southerly to the Northeasterly corner of Lot 29 and the Northwesterly corner of Lot 38, including all cross-streets and alleys except those not abandoned by these proceedings. And that certain 20-foot street extending from the Northeasterly corner of Lot 87 and the Northwesterly corner of Lot 28 Southerly to the Southeastern corner of chain plat No. 4 and the Southwesterly corner of chain plat No. 5, excepting all cross-streets and alleys. And that certain 20-foot street extending from the Northeasterly corner of Lot 52, Addition No. 1, and the Northwesterly corner of Lot 41 of said Addition, Southerly to the Southeastern corner of chain plat No. 2, and the Southwesterly corner of chain plat No. 3, including all cross-streets and alleys, except those not abandoned by these proceedings. And that certain 20-foot street extending from the Northeasterly corner of Lot 64, and the Northwesterly corner of Lot 53, Addition No. 1, Southerly to the Southeastern corner of chain plat No. It has been suggested and I submit for careful consideration the advisability of calling a mass meeting at an early date of all interested parties in the three counties to include the boards of supervisors of each county to consider this whole question, giving the proponents of local and comprehensive protection districts an opportunity to present their views on the matter and in general to carefully consider the best method of proceeding for full and complete flood control and conservation of flood waters. After the mass meeting, where a definite policy might be outlined in accordance with the views of the majority, the next step would be to correct as far as possible the defects in the conservancy act above referred to or draw a new act that will cover the situation effectively and bring about the speediest solution of this great problem. Respectfully submitted, FRANCIS CUTTLE, Chairman, Riverside, Calif., Oct. 11, 1917. TEACHERS' INSTITUTE TO BE AT FULLERTON County Educators Will Meet in That City This Year The annual teachers' institute of the county will be held in Fullerton this year, during the first three days of the Christmas vacation. At that time the city will be called upon to entertain over 400 teachers from all over the county. On Thursday and Friday of the same week the teachers will all attend the Southern California Teachers' Annual convention at Los Angeles. The coming institute will be the first held outside of Santa Ana. The Fullerton contingent to the last institute started in to win the institute for Fullerton for 1917 and won it. The program has not as yet been considered, but it will soon be in the making, and with Dr. Hauck of the union high school and the others in the educational lines there, together. LEARNING THE TRUTH An American army surgeon who has just returned from the British front had an interesting experience while there in convincing a skeptical German officer prisoner that America is seriously in the war and will in due time be doing her bit in the trenches. The doctor was serving in an advanced dressing station during a British attack and the German officer, slightly wounded, was brought in for treatment. The apron the surgeon wore covered the United States insignia he wore. The German officer spoke excellent English and engaged in conversation with the doctor, thinking him English.

The coming institute will be the first held outside of Santa Ana. The Fullerton contingent to the last institute started in to win the institute for Fullerton for 1917 and won it. The program has not as yet been considered, but it will soon be in the making, and with Dr. Hauck of the union high school and the others in the educational lines there, together with the county superintendent, there should be no doubt about the excellence of the program when finally arranged. A majority of the teachers will return to their homes in the evenings of each day, but Fullerton will be called upon to house quite a number from the remote districts and will arise to the emergency. Noon meals will have to be provided for 400, and the high school cafeteria will help out in that direction. If Fullerton succeeds in handling the institute satisfactorily, it is not unlikely that the annual institute will be held in a different city each year, instead of all taking place in Santa Ana as has been the custom in the past. STATE FRUIT GROWERS TO MEET NOVEMBER 21-23 Interesting Three Day Session Expected at Sacramento State Horticultural Commissioner George Hecke announces arrangements practically completed for the "Fiftieth" state fruit growers' convention which will be held in Sacramento November 21-23, or rather, it will convene as a state convention of horticultural commissioners on Monday morning, November 19 when two days will be given to discussion of horticultural matters, especially those touch- The doctor was serving in an advanced dressing station during a British attack and the German officer, slightly wounded, was brought in for treatment. The apron the surgeon wore covered the United States insignia he wore. The German officer spoke excellent English and engaged in conversation with the doctor, thinking him English. "Where did you get your facility in English?" the doctor inquired. "In Chicago," replied the German; "I lived there for several years." "Well, what do you think of America coming into the war?" "Oh, it won't make any military difference. We have not been taken in by any of the reports of Americans being already near the front. You English needn't think you are going to get any quick help from America. They are not prepared over there, an even if they were, our U-boats would keep them away." "So there are no Americans here?" queried the doctor. "No." "Well, what do you think of this?" He slowly turned back his apron and disclosed the tell tale "U. S." on his collar. "How did you get here?" It was the startled German's turn to become the questioner. "I came with part of the American army." "Then American soldiers really are here, and are going to fight?" "Of course." "How many are there?" "More thousands than you would ever imagine." "But tell me, doctor——" "Sorry, but you will have to pass along, I have other patients waiting."

LEE, Com'l Agent, 201 W. 4th St., Santa Ana Phone: Home 211 MANY CALIFORNIANS ENLISTING IN SERVICE Nearly Twelve Thousand Have Volunteered Since April 2 California has contributed a total of 11,786 enlisted men since April 2, according to a report just made to Gov. Stephens, chairman of the state council of defense by Adj-Gen. J. J. Borree, chairman of the committee on public security and defense. Of this number there has been 4,391 enlistments in the regular army, while the California National Guard has been raised from 4,466 to more than 10,000 men. In reviewing military and public service conditions which prevail in California, Adjutant General Borree in his report states that the federal government continues to guard all railroads, bridges, tunnels and such other public utilities as it considers of sufficient importance to warrant guarding. There are now 52 licensed home guard companies in the state, all of which are subject to call for service by the governor. In addition, there are as many, or more, unlicensed home guard companies which are liable to service only in their home communities. The 52 licensed home guard companies have an average membership of about 150 men. According to Borree the formation of the home guard companies has had a salutary effect in keeping enemyallen sentiment in check throughout the state, and also has served in arousing much patriotism in many localities. In addition to the home guard companies, three new battalions of national guard infantrymen have been formed. These three battalions consist of four companies each and can be used by the governor in case of emergency.
