WANTS GOV. STEPHENS TO SET HIM FREE San Pedro Man, Sentenced for Speeding Trying to Escape Jail J. B. Cox, the "jailing justice" of Santa Ana and Gov. W. D. Stephens were embroiled Saturday in a long-distance controversy over the sentence of 10 days in jail imposed by Justice Cox on W. I. Turck, secretary of a big fish cannery at San Pedro. Turck was arrested in Orange county a few weeks ago and was accused of driving his speed wagon at a rate of 58 miles an hour. When the case came before Justice Cox, who has gained fame by imposing jail sentences on millionaire speeders and other violators of the traffic laws, Turck was ordered to jail for 10 days without the alternative of a fine. Turck appealed the case to the higher courts and deposited $500 bail, thereby obtaining temporary release. Saturday District Attorney West of Orange county received a telegram from the governor's office at Sacrament asking for details of the arrest of Turck, and stating that the latter had appealed to Gov. Stephens for executive clemency. This brought forth a hot reply from Justice Cox. He wrote to the governor in this vein. "I don't think this defendant should be shown any different treatment than that accorded other speed violators who have been sent to jail. "I make it a rule that anyone, high, low, rich or poor goes to jail if he drives an automobile in excess of 50 miles an hour. "There is no such thing as "pull" in this court. "I see no reason why, in this case the defendant should not walk the chalk line as others have done in GOLD ON CREEKS IN ALASKA Alaska continues to be a good paying investment for Uncle Sam, its mineral output in 1917 having been more than 41 million dollars, and although the production of gold was somewhat reduced the interest in the gold placers is still keen. Among the rich placer deposits are those of Valdez creek, which have yielded gold valued at $375,000. Gold has been found in its bedrock source in the slate area south of Valdez creek and is present in some of the stream gravel deposits within that area. Mose of the placer gold from this district, however, has come from an old gravel filled channel or canyon once occupied by Valdez creek, and from the stream gravels of that part of the present channel of the creek which lies below the point where the old and new channels intersect. The gold in the new channel is in large part a reconcentration from the rich auriferous filling of the old canyon. The old channel and the three or four creek claims below it on the present stream constitute an excellent example of the importance of reconcentration in the production of rich gold placers. Slate creek is 75 miles east of Valdez creek. It is the site of an older camp than Valdez creek and with its tributary, Miller Gulch, has been the greatest producer of placer gold within the Copper River basin, having yielded more than one and three quarter million dollars. Diorite intrusive rocks are present, and in this respect the deposits resemble those of Valdez creek. It is believed, however, that the slate of Valdez Creek is younger, although the diorite intrusives are probably of the same or nearly the same age. The U. S. Geological Survey has several bulletins dealing with the gold areas of this district which may be leave enough of chance to buy a thief A few of the eight eggs and sugar, and half a cup of potato flour wheat, the architect dently thought all landed on the kaolin This is the story which every child eration or so ago plied by some poilties and househouses presumably drawn teaching grandma eggs.

"I see no reason why, in this case the defendant should not walk the chalk line as others have done in similar circumstances." Friends have said in behalf of Mr. Turck that prhaps an exception should be made in his case inasmuch as his work as head of a fish cannery is closely related to war measures. BEE MEN TO MEET An important meeting of great interest to beekeepers will be held in Santa Ana at the courthouse, March 9 at 10 o'clock. Much of interest will be brought up, and all beekeepers will be profiled, it is claimed, by being in attendance at this meeting. A series of educational gatherings arranged for by the state university in connection with the U. S. Department of agriculture, will be held throughout the important honey districts of the state. Mr. Demuth, assistant apiculturist and one of the most expert men in the country on the diagnosis of bee diseases will be present, as will also E. F. Atwater, special agent on bee extension work. Col. Harris Weinstock, state market director, will speak for the California Honey Producers cooperative exchange, and A. B. Massey, campaign manager will be present. TUBERCULIN COWS That many cows in Santa Ana and vicinity have tuberculosis has been disclosed by tuberculin tests made at different times within the past month by Dr. F. P. Wilcox, deputy state veterinarian. Milk from these cows has been sold for consumption. As a result of the disclosures the city council was asked to appoint an inspector for the city. Dr. J. I. Clark, city health officer, has consented to fill the position until June to give time in which to select a man for the work. The inspection will be under the state law. Wilcox is still working in this county. The state law is not as drastic as an ordinance in force in Los Angeles. U. S. C. STUDENT LOSES LIFE ON TUSCANIA Two gold stars now distinguish the service flag of the University of Southern California. William L. Trageser, a graduate of the college of law, who enlisted in the service of his country as an army engineer, lost his life on the torpedoed Tuscania. Trageser graduated in 1914 and enlisted at Cottonwood, Minn., where he was practicing prior to his enlistment. At one time Trageser, it is now recalled, remarked to one of his friends, "I suppose my ignorance of swimming will get me in bad some time." The ulniversity service flag has nearly 600 stars. The first student soldier to give his life to his country was Lincoln Montona, who died some weeks ago at Camp Kearny. Charged With Burglary: Harry McKee of Redondo Beach is in the county jail here on a charge of burglarizing the warehouse on the P. E. line two miles from Huntington Beach. The burglarly occurred less than a month ago. A team of horses and wagon were taken from U. H. Plavan's ranch, near the warehouse, and with it a load of lima beans, stolen from the warehouse, were hauled to Los Angeles. The team and wagon were afterward located in a feed yard in Los Angeles. McKee, who at one time worked for Plavan, was suspected, and evidence gathered by City Marshal Tinsley of Huntington Beach and by officers working on the case resulted in McKee's arrest. Deputy Sheriff Cravath went to Redondo Beach and returned with the man Sunday night. Many Speeders Arrested: The state law is not as drastic as an ordinance in force in Los Angeles. Cows which are found affected there are willed at once and their carcasses sold for fertilizer. The state law provides for testing only such dairy herds or privately owned cows whose milk is sold in the raw state milk that has not been pasteurized. Cows found affected are tattooed and the owner directed to sell them to a dairy where the milk is pasteurized. If the owner fails to do this, and his failure to carry out instructions is found out by the inspector, he is subject to arrest. Under the ordinance of Los Angeles, the infected stock is promptly killed. It is not probable that an effort will be made to have the Santa Ana council pass as stringent an ordinance there. CANCELLED STAMPS At last a use has been found for the hundreds of thousands of canceled postage stamps that have been so carefully hoarded by hundreds of people all over the country. While being valueless for the dyes which they contain, they are now being accepted at the various Red Cross organizations throughout the United States. Here they are packed up and sent to Belgium, where they are used by the wounded soldiers in making toys and ornaments, much as cigar bands were used a few years ago. Many Speeders Arrested: Saturday afternoon and Sunday were fine times for speeders. Motorcycle Officers Ballard and Carr gathered 'em in, twenty five all told. Among them was Rev. Herbert Booth Smith, pastor of a Unitarian church in Los Angeles. The minister explained that he was on his way to Camp Kearny to preach, and that he would be passing through this county frequently upon the same mission. "Hereafter you had better start earlier so you won't have to drive so fast," was the advice offered by Ballard, who notified the minister to appear in court Monday morning. "I am a law abiding citizen," said the minister, as Ballard handed him the slip of paper notifying him when to appear. "Does this mean that I am arrested?" "It certainly does mean exactly that," responded Ballard. COOK STOVE CAMOUFLAGE The food administration would do well to pull off some of the amateur cooks who are furnishing the dope in the way of recipes which goes gratis to the newspapers and gets printed in the "Help Win the War" column. For instance: in the Los Angeles Herald the other night there was a blue print with specifications for the erection of a nifty, thrifty cake which would ANAHEIM GAZETTE leave enough of the household allowance to buy a thrift stamp. A few of the items were the yolks of eight eggs and a cup and a half of sugar, and half a cup of butter, but as these were to be welded onto half a cup of potato flour instead of straight wheat, the architect and inventor evidently thought another jolt had been landed on the kaiser's neck. This is the story of stone soup, with which every child was familiar/a generation or so ago, modernized and applied by some post graduate in dietetics and household economy who is presumably drawing a good salary for teaching grandmothers how to suck eggs. A cook book compiled by practical old ladies who had five children apiece and a grouchy and discouraged husband on their hands in the south during the earlier days of reconstruction, or when the panic of 73 struck, would be of more practical value to the average household right now than all the output of all the capped, aproned, ribboned and diplomaed university experts now in the service. They might not know much about protein, calories, and a balanced ration, but when it comes to scraping the bottom of the meal barrel and the kind of the side meat and still keeping the old man on the job, they are there with the goods. A FRENCH "BIG BERTHA" From the Scientific American: According to a correspondent of the Washington Post in France the French have outbuilt the German "big Bertha" of 42 centimeters caliber, and their artillery now includes the 52 centimeter mortar. He states that the length of the new gun is such as to render this piece practically a howitzer. The same authority states that FARM PRICES The weighted average price of principal crops at the farm for 1915 was about the same as for 1914, or only 4 per cent greater, but in 1916 the gain was 47 per cent over 1915, and in 1917 it was 43 per cent over 1916, while in 1917 the gain over 1915, two years previous, was 110 per cent. The prices taken are for December. This two year gain of 110 per cent is exceeded most of all by the kafirs, for which the increase of price at the farm was 258 per cent. Nert below in order are broom corn with 220%, hops with 189%, tobacco with 174% and cotton lint with 152%. Other cereals now appear, and corn, the greatest of the cereals, had a gain of 123% in price at the farm, barley 120%, and wheat 119%. Below the average advance of 110 per cent in price in two years, the scale descends to 109% each for cotton seed and rice, 106 for dry edible beans, 103 for buckwheat and 102 for wild hay. Every one of the crops so far mentioned more than doubled in price in two years; corn, barley and wheat more than doubled by one fifth. Five crops, none of which is of small importance, gained in price in the two years from 77 to 99 per cent, rye, oats, potatoes, sweet potatoes and apples. Seven crops gained from 55 to 75 per cent, and these are cabbage, onions, flaxseed, peaches, peanuts, tame hay, an dcranberries, the hay crop, of course, being of high importance. Galns of 29 to 44 per cent in price were made by hemp, clover seed, sugar cane, peas, and sugar beets, and for oranges the gain was only 9 per cent. The price gains of animal products at the farm during the two years are lower in general than the crop price gains in general, and lower than the price gains of the animal feeds. Dairy products gained in price 32 per cent. LOCAL NOTES Twin sons arrived at the home of Mr. and Mrs. Ed Carter of Orange-thorpe avenue Thursday. Mrs. C. H. Newcombe, who now resides at Corona was visiting Anaheim friends last week. H. A. Dickel made a business trip to Los Angeles Friday. Mr. and Mrs. Oliver Hill motored to Los Angeles and attended the Iowa picnic at Eastlake Park. S. C. Frost, of Santa Ana, commercial agent of the Los Angeles and Salt Lake railroad, was a business visitor in town Monday and made a pleasant call at this office. The Thursday afternoon Whist club was delightfully entertained last week by Mrs. Max Nebelung at her home on East Sycamore. Mrs. John Kellenberger made the highest score in the card game, Mrs. L. D. Witherill second and Mrs. W. P. Quarton third. Refreshments at the card tables were served by the hostess at the close of the games. Many of Santa Ana's well known citizens attended the meeting of the associated chambers of commerce held in this city Wednesday evening. Among them were several gentlemen who have announced their candidacy for county office. The gentlemen were given the glad hand on all sides, and it is understood that in some instances their fences are up good and strong. Walter E. White, 24, rancher, has A FRENCH "BIG BERTHA" From the Scientific American: According to a correspondent of the Washington Post in France the French have outbuilt the German "big Bertha" of 42 centimeters caliber, and their artillery now includes the 52 centimeter mortar. He states that the length of the new gun is such as to render this piece practically a howitzer. The same authority states that one of these pieces was used in the Verdun surprise attack last August, and also in the Chemin des Dames attack in the neighborhood of Laon, where its huge projectiles wrecked the entrances to the quarries and prevented the men inside from reinforcing the first line troops engaged with the enemy. Two shells from the "52" sufficed to wreck Fort Malmaison. Reduced to our system of measurement, the bore of the 52-centimeter gun is about 20 inches. DECREASING GLASS PRODUCTION A. E. Schwabacher, federal fuel administrator for California, announces that after nearly three months of investigation and discussion with the interests involved, Fuel Administrator Garfield has issued an order limiting the use of fuel for the production of common window-glass to 50 per cent of the amount manufactured in 1917. A survey of the field indicated that not more than five million boxes of window glass would be used in 1918 and that competitive conditions were likely to result in an over manufacture of this materia lby at least two or three million boxes, probably more. Each manufacturer was willing in the general interest to reduce his output to the extnt mentioned, if assured that his competitors would be bound by the same restrictions. Representatives of the workmen have taken part in the discussion and have agreed to make their part of the sacrifice. The order was delayed until this patriotic agreement had been practically 100 per cent complete. The reduction in output over last year's operation, provided by this order, means a saving of five hundred thousand tons of coal and its proportionate oil equivalent and the removal of at least eighteen thousand car loads of merchandise freight from the railroads. The United States Fuel Administration takes the position that in the present condition of shortage no fuel cent, and these are cabbage, onions, flaxseed, peaches, peanuts, tame hay, an deranberries, the hay crop, of course, being of high importance. Gains of 29 to 44 per cent in price were made by hemp, clover seed, sugar cane, peas, and sugar beets, and for oranges the gain was only 9 per cent. The price gains of animal products at the farm during the two years are lower in general than the crop price gains in general, and lower than the price gains of the animal feeds. Dairy products gained in price 32 per cent, and the range is from 29 per cent each for butter fat and cream sold to 36 per cent for butter. Eggs gained 55 and fowls raised 40 per cent, the average being 49 per cent. The gain for swine sold and slaughtered was 92 per cent, calves 91 per cent, sheep 72 per cent, and cattle other than calves 31 per cent, the average for the food animals being 63 per cent. The work animals sold have places lower in the scale; mules gained 30 per cent in price and for horses the gain was 1 per cent. The gain of meat animals sold and slaughtered in average price was 63 per cent, and of poultry products, 40 per cent. A DEHYDRATION LUNCH An elaborate luncheon of dehydrated food staples was given January 21 at the Hotel Biltmore, New York, by the Greenwich Garden club, of Greenwich, Conn., service and cooking being donated by John McE. Bowman, who is now with the United States food administration. Sixty-five prsons attended, the purpose of the luncheon being to demonstrate advancement in the art of dehydrating. The menu was as follows: Coquille of Shrimp Roast Turkey, Cranberry Sauce Candied Sweet Potatoes Brussels Sprouts Cauliflower Au Gratin Irish Potatoes, Mashed Pickled Beet Salad Pumpkin Pie Apple Pie Coffee Tea Everything on the menu, with the exception of the turkey, coffee, and tea was prepared from dehydrated materials, dried by one of the latest processes developed in this country, a process entirely mechanical, no chemicals being used and nothing being taken from the products but water, which is accomplished without injury to the cell structure, so that many of Santa Ana's well known citizens attended the meeting of the associated chambers of commerce held in this city Wednesday evening. Among them were several gentlemen who have announced their candidacy for county office. The gentlemen were given the glad hand on all sides, and it is understood that in some instances their fences are up good and strong. Walter E. White, 24, rancher, has taken out his first papers. He was born at Hartney, Manitoba, Can., and came to this country in 1914. He lives on Anaheim R. D. 4. Sheriff C. E. Jackson attended the banquet and regular monthly meeting of the associated chambers of commerce held in this city on Wednesday evening last. Mr. Jackson is one of Orange county's best boosters, and never tires in telling of the many natural advantages of the gem of all counties. Mr. Jackson has rendered a good account of his stewardship as sheriff and is seeking re-election. R. L. Bisby of Santa Ana in speaking before the large assemblage of citizens at the associated chamber of commerce held in this city a few evenings ago, took occasion to pay a high tribute to the untiring efforts upon the part of A. S. Bradford who had labored early and late to make Orange county's exhibit at the San Bernardino National Orange Show a commendable one. Mr. Bisby said there was not another man in the county who would do as much for the county's welfare as did this liberal minded and whole souled Placentia citizen. "Let's not wait until a man's dead to say a good word for him," said Mr. Bisby. "I believe that every citizen in the county owes us the utmost gratitude to Mr. Bradford, and I therefore suggest that a suitable gift be given him in commemoration of the esteem in which he is held," concluded Mr. Bisby. And it was so ordered. Clyde Potter of Los Angeles, advertising manager of the Southern Counties Gas Co., was transacting business in this city Saturday.

It is hoped, that as the railroads strengthen their facilities, that it will be possible to mine and transport a larger quantity of coal this year than last, but it is through these methods of reducing consumption that a repetition of this year's shortage is to be absolutely prevented. Pickled Beet Salad Pumpkin Pie Apple Pie Coffee Tea Everything on the menu, with the exception of the turkey, coffee, and tea was prepared from dehydrated materials, dried by one of the latest processes developed in this country, a process entirely mechanical, no chemicals being used and nothing being taken from the products but water, which is accomplished without injury to the cell structure, so that upon immersion in water the dehydrated product is restored with full flavor and nutriment. It was the intention to have dehydrated beefsteak on the menu, but a sufficient quantity could not be secured in time, although a small portion was prepared as an exhibit. This luncheon was held at the suggestion of Dr. David Fairchild.

Sam says some of these fellows think they can play ball, but he says they remind him of the days when he played the game, but in those days they called them rounders. Sam says some of the city gents are so flat footed that it takes quite a while to get started on a run and then they look as though they are standing still. He says some of their umpires ought to be taken out at sunrise, so coarse are their decisions, and often wonders if they haven't a wad up on the result. Sam says some of these gents are so small that they remind him of the natives down in Arkansas, who, when they see a stranger coming up to their house they stick their heads out of a knothole and ask what's wanted. Sam believes the local boys have the makings of being pennant winners, but of course at times it is hard to get a lineup that is true blue all the way through. Lew H. Wallace said when he was a boy he went in for all kinds of athletic sports in all its branches except wrestling, because to win you had to set the other fellow's two shoulders on the ground and hold them there, which at times was a difficult thing to do. But a change has come over him as he has grown older, and he believes in having two points on the ground, and having them there all the time. In this particular instance he refers to his two feet and he is on the job early and late boosting for the harbor. Mr. Wallace is in the banking business at Newport, but has almost turned his business over to his assistants, because he finds so much to do in connection with the harbor work. Mr. Wallace says he has no selfish motives whatever in the matter, but believes that Orange county needs the harbor and that now is the accepted time to bring the project forcefully before the people. Of course while the harbor would help the entire county, Newport would come in for its share of the prosperity which, Mr. Wallace says, would be appreciated.
