CITIES OF COUNTY GET PORTION OF FINES COUNTY TREASURER DIRECTED BY SUPERVISORS TO APPORTION MONEY COLLECTED FROM AUTOISTS ROAD IMPROVEMENTS TO BE MADE IN THE OLIVE AND BREA-OLINDA DISTRICTS The county treasurer was directed by the board of supervisors at the last meeting to make payments to the incorporated cities of the county of money received from fines and forfeitures under the motor vehicle law of 1915 and 1917, in accordance with a resolution adopted by the board on March 6. Demands on the county of Orange on the hospital fund and county general fund for the detention home were allowed as read. A spraying license was ordered issued to Edwin O. Haueter and Walter Ward, on recommendation of the horticultural commissioner. The county auditor was directed to cancel certificate of tax sale No. 1189 for 1917, being assessed to La Hohra Valley Land & Water Co., said present in nearl yevery town and city of California, more than 10,000 cases of these diseases having been reported to the California state board of health since the first of January. Very often a mild case of smallpox makes its appearance in a community where these eruptive diseases are epidemic and because of its mild type is taken for the less serious disease. In this way, smallpox has often caused disaster in many cities and towns, the citizens of which have not been protected by vaccination." Dr. Kellogg says, "If the directions for vaccination, in accordance with the regulations of the California state board of health are followed, there will never be any complication." "Vaccination," he adds, "is one of the surest and safest forms of health insurance and the community that does not employ this safeguard is not offering adequate protection to its citizens." ALIEN PROPERTY SEIZED BY GOVERNMENT More Than Billion Dollars Taken Over, it is Estimated Uncle Sam has become a Socialist. War forced him to seize property of German and Austrian enemies residing in Germany and Austria. It also forced him to take over the property of American girls who had married German and Austrian counts. As a result, Uncle Sam is the majority stockholder or senior partner in hundreds of corporations and firms. It would be disastrous in most cases to liquidate these businesses in the present state of the market; so Uncle Sam has to "step into the shoes" of the allen enemy and appoint directors or other executives to run them.

The county auditor was directed to cancel certificate of tax sale No. 1189 for 1917, being assessed to La Habra Valley Land & Water Co., said sale being erroneous. A petition was presented for the organization of the Newport Mesa irrigation district, and further hearing in the matter was postponed until May 8, 1918, at 10 a.m. The application of L. Chesley Alles for permit to lay a 10 inch concrete pipe line across N. Batavia Ave. in the Orange road district was granted. The further hearing in the matter of the report of the Orange county harbor commission was continued to March 26, 1918, at 10 a.m. The county auditor was directed to cancel warrant No. 2377 and 2345. The county surveyor was ordered to prepare plans, specifications and estimates for the improvement of 1½ miles on the Brea Olinda road, 3-4 miles of La Mirada Ave., and 1000 ft. of Main St., La Habra. Further hearing in the matter of petition of John H. Pope et al, for county road in Newhope road district, was continued to April 16, 1918, at 10 a.m., and the county surveyor was directed to investigate the right of way and location of the drainage ditches on said road from Wintersburg road south to the ocean. The hospital committee in conjunction with the purchasing agent, were authorized to provide two additional cells for insane patients at the county hospital. A franchise for pipe lines at Laguna Beach was sold to Catherine A. Brooks for $100. The hearing of the viewers' report on the petition of G. E. Guenther, et al, for a 40 foot road in Olive road district was set for April 16, 1918, at 2 p.m., notice to be given in the Orange daily news. A deed from O. E.

The map of tract No. 50 as presented by the county surveyor was aspected as the official plotting of said tract. SMALLPOX INCREASES THROUGHOUT THE STATE Smallpox in California has not been so prevalent in any one month for several years as it was during February of this year. In that month, 74 cases were reported to the California state board of health, and during the first two weeks of March no less than 55 cases of the disease have been reported. These cases were scattered over the state from Siskiyou county to the Mexican line. Because of the increased prevalence of smallpox, Dr. W. H. Kellogg, secretary of the state board urges the employment of universal vaccination in order that the disease may be kept under control. "Vaccination," he says, "becomes of first importance because of the state wide epidemics of the eruptive diseases—measles, German measles and chickenpox—that are now ANAHEIM GAZETTE holdings, but when the income tax man calls they are compelled to show their balance sheets and tell the truth.

It is a fact that the courtroom of Department No. 2 is small. It is also a fact that the offices of the tax collector, recorder, assessor, school superintendent and a few other offices are not large enough. The county clerk is using a store-room in the basement as the registrar's headquarters. When the present filing cases are full, as they soon will be, where is he going to put the new ones? Stairways have been cut so that the tax collector and auditor can go into the basement to find room to turn around. The biggest portion of the school superintendent's library is in the offices of the district attorney. The county surveyor's office—one needs but to step inside of it to realize that it needs more room. In the basement, where a room was constructed out of corridor space, are the offices of the aid commissioner, the sealer of weights and measures and the horticultural commissioner. And the supervisors are now wondering where they are going to put the farm adviser. So it would seem, and many strongly contend that the time for makeshifts has gone by; the county has grown to the point where something ought to be done to provide adequate quarters for carrying on all of the county's business. FARM ADVISER ON JOB A. R. Sprague, appointed as county farm adviser, arrived in Santa Ana last week and is now ready to take up his work. One of the first steps will be the completion of the county farm bureau organization, and to this end Farm Centers which have not yet elected directors to the county bureau county has been asked to appoint one of its members to study the details of the bonds and make an address at every session of the lodge between now and the date of the drive. Every school clerk has been asked to arrange for patriotic meetings on the night of April 12. WOODLAND CHIVALRY A couple of hunters on the borders of the Florida Everglades were surprised to hear the wild snorts and whistles of a buck in fight, mingled with the plaintive bleats of a doe in distress—a combination of sounds that was unaccountable. The men crept cautiously up, and in five minutes reached the edge of an open glade. In the center crouched a doe, wild with terror. By her side was a fawn only a few hours old, still too weak to follow its mother, while the old buck, with bristling hair, and antlers lowered, stood by, snorting in rage and defiance. His eyes, green with rage, followed some object moving in the palmetto scrub on the border of the glade. Looking carefully the hunters saw a young panther passing backward and forward in an effort to turn the flank of the defense and get at the fawn. A wiser beast would have abandoned the attack as soon as such a defender went on guard, but this panther was evidently in the full flush of his first strength and without experience of the prowess of an old buck at bay. Forward and back he crawled, splitting and snarling, only to find the buck always between him and the doe. At last he crouched for the spring. The buck, snorting grimly, braced all his muscles for the coming crash; he appreciated his danger, but dared the worst. The doe whimpered and closed her eyes, but did not de- MAY BUILD ADDITION TO COUNTY COURT HOUSE Present Building Has Grown Too Small for the Business The question of building a small wing with the principal object in view of enlarging Judge Thomas' courtroom was up before the board of supervisors again Wednesday, and the board members and the judge went out and looked over the north side of the building, and in their minds' eyes pictured what it would look like if the proposed changes were made. There is no money available for the work now, but it has been suggested that the next tax levy be fixed so that the construction could be done after July 1, the beginning of the new fiscal year. There is no question, however, but that there is a good deal of quiet opposition to the plan among courthouse officials and others. The principal objection urged is that the board of supervisors ought not spend money tearing out portions of the courthouse when by so doing they are unable to remedy the congested situation at the courthouse as a whole. In other words, it is felt that piece meal construction will not meet the general situation. It has been recognized by grand jurors and county officials generally for several years that the present court- FARM ADVISER ON JOB A. R. Sprague, appointed as county farm adviser, arrived in Santa Ana last week and is now ready to take up his work. One of the first steps will be the completion of the county farm bureau organization, and to this end Farm Centers which have not yet elected directors to the county bureau are requested to do so at once, so that they may attend an important meeting the county bureau to be held at 2 o'clock Saturday afternoon at the horticultural commissioner's office in the basement of the court house. The work of the farm bureau is most pressing because of the war needs, and effective organization is essential to the success of the work. Sprague was farm lecturer for the Berkeley university for several years and is a man fully competent to advise farmers in their various farming operations. PREPARING FOR BIG LIBERTY LOAN DRIVE Executive Committee Wants a Meeting in Every School House April 12th The date for the next Liberty Loan has not been set. That it will come after April 12th is indicated by plans made Thursday night by the county executive committee for a patriotic meeting in the school houses of the county on the night of April 12th. This is a preliminary move to the big day. The county executive committee is composed of R. L. Bisby and A. J. Crookshank of Santa Ana, A. B. McCord of Anaheim, E. W. Bolinger of Orange and W. K. Benchley of Fullerton. The policy of the banks in taking care of Liberty bond subscribers will be outlined in a bulletin to be prepared and issued in a few days. Bisby, who is county chairman, reported that every city and community in the county had been organized, with a chairman and executive committee for each, each of which will also have an advisory committee and a selling committee. Every fraternal organization in the er went on guard, but this panther was evidently in the full flush of his first strength and without experience of the prowess of an old buck at bay. Forward and back he crawled, splitting and snarling, only to find the buck always between him and the doe. At last he crouched for the spring. The buck, snorting grimly, braced all his muscles for the coming crash; he appreciated his danger, but dared the worst. The doe whimpered and closed her eyes, but did not desert her fawn. The panther rose in the air and came down within ten feet of the buck. Then the buck went into the air, and falling with his feet together on the struggling cat seemed to stab him through and through. Immediately the buck rose again and landed a dozen feet away. Then he lowered his head and plunged at the panther. There was a confusion of flying dirt and grass, and again the deer sprang away. There were now deep cuts on his head and neck, and his antlers were splashed with red. The panther now tried to creep away, but again the buck leaped, stabbed with his feet together and sprang away. The cat now lay gasping, while the buck watched him with his hair stiffened into a mane and eyes that nearly bulged from his head. Then the hunters walked forward. When the buck saw them he must have realized that he was completely in their power. His proud crest fell, and he lost all the swelling port of the victor; but still he showed no intention of deserting the doe, but moved off and stood beside her. She crouched down again with the fawn. The hunters walked over quietly and examined the panther. He was very badly cut up. Both shoulders were broken, and the antlers had passed repeatedly through his body. During the examination the buck stood quietly in plain view, and no gladiator saluting Ceasar and conscious of being about to die ever showed more dignity. Without a word the hunters walked off the field and left the old knight alone in his glory. Had he not shown knightly qualities—the chivalry that protects the weak, the courage that braves all odds in a good cause, and finally a dignified submission to what seemed the inevitable?
