HARBOR PROJECT ENDORSED BY A.C. OF C. ASK THE FEDERAL AUTHORITIES TO TAKE UP THE MATTER FOR GOVERNMENT PURPOSES ORANGE COUNTY WILL HAVE LARGE REPRESENTATION AT TOURNAMENT OF ROSES The associated chambers of commerce unanimously endorsed the Newport Harbor proposition at the Fullerton meeting Wednesday night. The resolution was introduced by Dr. J. D. Thomas of Olive and reads as follows: Whereas, there has already been expended upwards of $100,000 in public and private funds for preliminary work, and contracts are now in process of execution covering a cost of $125,000 for constructing a jetty at the entrance, which work is being done by the City of Newport Beach, and it has called an election for an additional $50,000 to be expended in dredging for a pleasure harbor, and Whereas, in order to accommodate and foster commerce at this harbor dredging will be required to accommodate vessels of at least 20-ft. draft in order to provide for shipping of $30,-000,000 of imports and exports; and, Whereas, the benefits to accrue from improvement of Newport Bay as Fruit Exchange has contributed $100. The Northern Orange County Exchange has refused to contribute, according to the statement of Bradford, although it collects 10 cents a box for advertising purposes. Prof. Hauck called attention to the fact that the oil fields of Fullerton had been known as the Fullerton oil fields but by a recent action of the State Bureau of Mines had changed the names of the field to Coyote Hills. "That name does not signify the location of the fields," said Hauck, "and we of Fullerton feel that a great injustice has been done our section by that change in name." He offered a motion that it was the sense of the meeting that the name "Fullerton Oil Fields" should be maintained and that the organization file with the bureau a protest against the change in the name. The motion was carried. RUNAWAY HORSE JUMPS OVER AUTO Peculiar Experience of Couple of Santa Ana Young Men August I. Wilkhorst and Arthur Johnson of Santa Ana miraculously escaped death Friday night when a runaway horse, dragging harness trappings and one shaft, evidently jumped clear over their machine in which they were riding at Santa Fe Springs. Wilkhorst was driving the car, which belongs to his father, Edward A. Wilkhorst, and the two young men were on their way to Los Angeles where they were planning to visit some soldier boys. It was about seven o'clock in the evening, and the men had just passed another car. Just behind the car came the runaway horse, galloping along at breakneck speed. Urging the help of county in the conservation waters of the Santa Ana County Reforestation peared before the Bernardino county financial appropriation prespective survey watershed. Later, fore the Orange county. The matter was that the San Bernardino county was decided to take selection of definite choice of the Santa Ana, a tical means of flood man Glover of the town pointed as a delegacy to confer with them from Orange and with power to go all information of conservation and Los Angeles counties. the entrance, which work is being done by the City of Newport Beach, and it has called an election for an additional $50,000 to be expended in dredging for a pleasure harbor, and Whereas, in order to accommodate and foster commerce at this harbor dredging will be required to accommodate vessels of at least 20-ft. draft in order to provide for shipping of $30,000,000 of imports and exports; and, Whereas, the benefits to accrue from improvement of Newport Bay as a commercial harbor will result in industrial expansion of all tributary territory and in general expansion of business to all the ports of the United States, and Whereas, the peoples in territory tributary are progressive and willing to cooperate in this commercial enterprise; now therefore, be it Resolved, that this Associated Chambers of Commerce, do heartily advocate that the government of the United States at an early date take up the improvement of the bay as a government harbor project, and profer our undivided cooperation in any measures that may be advanced for the development of Newport harbor. Chas. Eygabroad and Dr. J. D. Thomas made brief reports on the recent meeting of the Tri-counties River Protection Association in San Bernardino, at which plans were made for the three counties to work together in conserving storm waters and protection work along the river banks as soon as a law can be gotten through the legislature permitting the organization of a district for the work. In the meantime, protection districts are to continue their work, and Dr. Thomas suggested that in view of this fact, he thought it would be advisable for the engineers of the county to consult with the state engineer with reference to establish the river lines so that the protection districts could work to that line and get credit for whatever they have done when the larger district is formed. A motion prevailed requesting the Orange County Board of Supervisors to authorize the county surveyor to consult with the state engineer in conjunction with surveyors from the other two counties. Orange county will be represented in the parade at the Pasadena Tournament of Roses New Year's day. It was the verdict of the meeting that the supervisors should head the Orange county section in a decorated auto, the associated chambers should clear over their machine in which they were riding at Santa Fe Springs. Wilkhorst was driving the car, which belongs to his father, Edward A. Wilkhorst, and the two young men were on their way to Los Angeles where they were planning to visit some soldier boys. It was about seven o'clock in the evening, and the men had just passed another car. Just behind the car came the runaway horse, galloping along at breakneck speed. The motorists state that things happened too rapidly for them to get the details but that the horse seemed to jump upon the car on the left side, and went straight on over. Johnson was rendered unconscious for a few minutes, but his only injury was a slight cut on the head. Wilkhorst received only a small bump on his arm. The top was torn off of the machine, an dthe front seat was torn clear of its fastenings and lodged against the rear seat. The horse, which was badly injured, ran on for about a half mile. It was killed later by Undersheriff Iman, at the request of the Santa Fe Springs constables. Iman was notified of the accident, and went to the scene with Miss Helen Johnson, sister of Arthur Johnson. It seemed impossible to find out to whom the runaway horse belonged, or under what conditions it had broken away from the rig to which it was hitched. Wilkhorst was able to drive the machine back to Santa Ana, for although the top and upper part of the car was badly damaged, the engine and running gear was intact. FACTS ABOUT FOOD CONSERVATION In Europe fines up to $500 are levied on persons who throw away stale bread. The success of food conservation in American homes depends entirely upon voluntary action. Our allies are dependent on us for food because the route to North America is the shortest and the safest. Scarsity of ocean going ships makes it important for use to export foods of concentrated value, such as meats, sugar, wheat, condensed milk and fats. The success of the Allies will depend largely on winning the war against food waste in this country. It is now being waged in 22,000,000 American kitchens. Are you winning yours? The San Bernardino county decided to take selection of definite one of the Santa Ana, statistical means of flood man Glover of the town pointed as a delegation to confer with the from Orange and Browns with power to go allusion of information on conservation and "Los Angeles county shown what may be conservation, in these 400 dams on the Hertershed, at a cost of President Cuttle, "and ready accruing from water of water are far beyond construction." There are three main missions as proposed by committee, as follow: First, the construction dams; second, the removal and eroded at third, the diversion into wells and graves later be pumped to already extensively this county. A resolution is to be forwarded to mittee appointed under bill in relation to coverters, requesting the financial assistance harnessing the water Ana. GOAT MILK GOOD AND INVESTIGATION An interesting Bulletin recently been issued at Milch Goat in California. In referring to milk it says: "The most striking secured relate to the milk to infants. The opportunity of suiting a fairly large number children who were in condition, due to properly digest and modified cows' milk commercial infants' tried. In nearly all cases physical condition has been built growth has been by the use of goat milk." Orange county will be represented in the parade at the Pasadena Tournament of Roses New Year's day. It was the verdict of the meeting that the supervisors should head the Orange county section in a decorated auto, the associated chambers should follow with a float, and that each city should send either a float or a decorated car. Supervisor Wm. Schumacher announced that the convention of supervisors of the state would be held in Los Angeles in the near future and he suggested that an invitation be extended to the delegates to spend a day in this county. There will be at least 250 in attendance and fifty or more machines would be needed to take care of the visitors. He suggested that possibly a day at the Orange county park with a big feed would be a feature of entertainment that all would enjoy. A committee composed of Secretary J. C. Metzgar, chairman, Santa Ana; D. Eyman Huff, El Modena; N. LeMarquand, Fullerton; H. A. Lake, Garden Grove, and E. H. Jahraus of Laguna, will have charge of the arrangements. If A. G. Bradford is permitted to carry out his plans for the Orange county exhibit at the National Orange Show in San Bernardino in February the county will have one of the most attractive exhibits at the display. Bradford announced that he could not disclose the feature until it had been approved by the show management. It is estimated that at least $1000 will be needed to put it on, and of this amount the supervisors will contribute $500. The balance will have to be raised. The Orange County Our allies are dependent on us for food because the route to North America is the shortest and the safest. Scarsity of ocean going ships makes it important for use to export foods of concentrated value, such as meats, sugar, wheat, condensed milk and fats. The success of the Allies will depend largely on winning the war against food waste in this country. It is now being waged in 22,000,000 American kitchens. Are you winning yours? The people of the United States consume double the amount of fatty foods needed for proper nutrition. Our European allies are suffering privations from lack of sufficient fat in their diet. The war in Europe is a great cooperative effort of democracy to resist autocracy. Democracy must win but it can win only if all the people help by conserving meat, wheat, sugar and fats. ORANGE COUNTY MAN IS MISER'S HEIR $12,000 Found in House of His Recluse Uncle in Boston Loes Jacob, an Orange county ranch hand, has received word that he has fallen heir to $12,000 left by a miser uncle, Heinrich Jacob of Boston. He has received a clipping from a Boston paper that tells of a search that was made into the old house in which Jacob had lived alone for many years. Jacob seems to have had the savings habit developed to a queer degree. He had a number of collections that must have dated back into the dozens of years. He could not bear to throw away the stub of a cigar. That was shown by the discovery of a cache of thousands of cigar stubs. Another object upon which he vented his savings mania was the envelope. Every en- Anaheim Gazette velope the man had ever received seems to have been piled away. The discovery that is of deepest interest to Jacob, however, was the finding of $12,000. How much more was found has not been determined. There was found a lot of old stock certificates of various kinds. Evidently while of a miserly turn of mind, occasionally Heinrich Jocob branched forth into a venture for sudden increases. Judging from the newspaper clipping that Loes Jacob has received, those ventures were generally disastrous for the recluse. URGING SURVEY OF SANTA ANA RIVER Francis Cuttle Taking Steps Toward Tri-Counties Flood Control Urging the help of San Bernardino county in the conservation of the flood waters of the Santa Ana river, and in the protection against the floods of that water course in the rainy season, President Francis Cuttle of the Tri-County Reforestation committee appeared before the supervisors of San Bernardino county, Tuesday urging financial appropriations for a comprehensive survey of the Santa Ana watershed. Later, he will appear before the Orange county board. The matter was fully discussed by the San Bernardino supervisors and it was decided to take steps for the collection of definite data on the runoff of the Santa Ana, and the most practical means of flood protection. Chairman Glover of the board has been appointed as a delegate from that county to confer with the representatives from Orange and Riverside counties with power to go ahead in the collection of information on the best means of conservation and protection. Los Angeles county has definitely field is 6 miles around how long will it take a man walking 3½ miles an hour to walk 2¼ times around it. Tommy ain't a man, so we had to send his father. They went early this morning & Father will walk around the field and Tommy will time him, but pleas don't give my boy such examples again, because my husbun must go to work every day to support his family. HOT SUMMER DAYS ELIMINATE THE SCALE Senator Seymour's Trees Will be Free From Pest for 10 Years While the hot spell last summer destroyed or seriously damaged the oranges in some of the San Bernardino and Riverside sections, growers are getting consolation out of the fact that it cleared their orchards of scale. Senator Seymour of Highland said in a recent statement: "There isn't a suggestion of scale in my orchard nor in any other orchard in Highland, and to tell the truth, the scale was badly infesting out orchards before that memorable hot days last June. The heat finished the navel crop, but it likewise finished the scale, and did a better job than any expert could have done, for it's 100 per cent efficient. There is no scale left, and two fumigations, one this year and another next, would not have left our trees in such perfect condition. "It would have cost me $400 to fumigate my 10 acres this year, and as much another year, and then the trees would not have been as absolutely clean as they are now. For 20 experts have inspected my orchard and agree that there is neither scale nor eggs to be found." Not only so, but with summers of escent than squab broth; in fact, no other food has such a great amount of protoplasm and is more easily digested. In view of these facts, squabs will be in greater demand than ever before for use in hospitals and for the wounded or convalescent soldiers. Squab meat now also is being preserved or canned for future use. A large firm in the East is doing nothing else. POULTRY THE BEST CHANCE Poultry must be produced next year in places where it has not been produced before, and everywhere that poultry has been produced that production must be increased. It is necessary that people in the country and in the towns answer alike to this call. Farms and backyards must both do their bit, for the doubling of our poultry production next year is an indispensable item in the nation's food production program—a program which must be carried out if we are to win the war. The meat supplies available for European use are short. Meat must be supplied if the war is won—by the forces who fight for freedom. The war will be won if we fall in food production—but not won by us. We must understand what will happen if we do not provide the enormous quantities of foodstuffs that the allies can not produce for themselves. Are we going to feed our army on chicken and eggs? Of course not. But by greatly increasing our production of chickens and eggs, and by eating those chickens and eggs ourselves we will, naturally, eat that much less beef and pork. In turn, that beef and pork can be sent to Europe. The United States department of agriculture calls upon the country to double poultry production past year. the San Bernardino supervisors and it was decided to take steps for the collection of definite data on the runoff of the Santa Ana, and the most practical means of flood protection. Chairman Glover of the board has been appointed as a delegate from that county to confer with the representatives from Orange and Riverside counties with power to go ahead in the collection of information on the best means of conservation and protection. "Los Angeles county has definitely shown what may be done in water conservation, in the construction of 400 dams on the Haines canyon watershed, at a cost of $25 each," said President Cuttle, "and the benefits already accruing from this conservation of water are far beyond the expenses of construction." There are three methods of conservation, as proposed by the Tri-County committee, as follows: First, the construction of check dams; second, the reforestation of denuded and eroded areas of country; third, the diversion of flood waters into wells and gravels, where it may later be pumped to irrigate areas, as already extensively accomplished in this county. A resolution is to be prepared which will be forwarded to the national committee appointed under dte Newlands bill in relation to conservation of waters, requesting the cooperation and financial assistance of that body in harnessing the waters of the Santa Ana. GOAT MILK GOOD FOR INFANTS AND INVALIDS An interesting Bulletin No. 285 has recently been issued by the agricultural experiment station, Berkeley, on the Milch Goat in California. In referring to the uses of goat milk it says: "The most striking results so far secured relate to the feeding of goat milk to infants. The station has had the opportunity of supplying this milk to a fairly large number of very young children who were in serious physical condition, due to their inability to properly digest and assimilate either modified cows' milk or any of the commercial infants' foods that were tried. In nearly all cases of this kind the physical condition of the children has been built up, and satisfactory growth has been brought about by the use of goat milk." MORE SQUABS NEEDED An article recently appeared in the Chicago Examiner giving a list of the new war dishes to be served by the different hotels. Among the different suggestions given to guests in ordering meals we find the following: "Eat less beef, pork, lamb, mutton and miscellaneous fried dishes. Eat more chicken, guinea hen, squabs, duckling and turkey." More squabs than ever before will be used by the hotels, restaurants, cafes and other eating places. At the Blackstone hotel in Chicago, sirloin for one costs $1.75, porterhouse for two $4.75, and "extra" porterhouse for two $6.25. Is it any wonder that the hotels advise their guests to eat more squabs? The use of squab meat is certainly much cheaper. In this respect squabs are in line with the United States food administration. During the food pledge week, October 23 to November 5, a personal appeal was made to each of the 22,000,000 housewives in America to save all food possible, and one of the suggestions as to how this might be done was that squabs should be eaten in place of beef, pork and mutton. The Farm Journal certainly uttered a true statement when it said in a recent issue: "The squab will play no small part in helping out the meat shortage." This again shows that squabs are rapidly forging ahead. Aside from their value as a general food squabs long have been used in the different hospitals in order to build up weak and run down constituencies of foodstuffs that the allies can not produce for themselves. Are we going to feed our army on chicken and eggs? Of course not. But by greatly increasing our production of chickens and eggs, and by eating those chickens and eggs ourselves we will naturally eat that much less beef and pork. In turn, that beef and pork can be sent to Europe. The United States department of agriculture calls upon the country to double poultry production next year. That can be done if the farms will keep an average of 100 hens instead of an average of 40 hens, as at present, and if every family in town will keep enough hens in the backyard to produce all the eggs used by that family—or two hens to each person.

BACKS DISTILLATE FOR SQUIRRELS A simple remedy for the squirrel nuisance is given by C. G. Hawley of Elk Grove. He says: "I have fruit and nuts on my ranch and am bothered more or less with the pest and have tried about every thing which the government and state authorities have recommended but have one that is cheaper and better than any I have so far seen advertised and at the same time very simple. It is nothing but distillate. Take a rag or an old sack cut up in such a way that when rolled it will go into the hoel, soak with distillate, cover hole with loose earth and pack and Mr. Squirrel goes to the hotter land. I do this in all seasons as they are coming in from other ranches for the nuts and fruit. One gallon of distillate is good for at least a dozen holes. I have never had a squirrel come out after the hole was stopped in this way. A teacher received the following note from the mother of one of her pupils: Dear Madam—Please excuse my Tommy today. He won't come to skule because he is acting as time keeper for his father, and it is your fault. U gave him an example if a milk to infants. The station has had the opportunity of supplying this milk to a fairly large number of very young children who were in serious physical condition, due to their inability to properly digest and assimilate either modified cows' milk or any of the commercial infants' foods that were tried.
