HANDLES KAISER WITHOUT SOFT GLOVES C. H. BURNETT WANTS TO SEND BILL AND HIS CUTTHROAT BABY KILLERS BACK TO HADES RAILROAD MAN DELIVERS PATRIOTIC ADDRESS TO ASSOCIATED CHAMBERS OF COMMERCE Speaking to the associated chambers of commerce at Huntington Beach Wednesday evening on the value of a harbor at Newport Beach from a military standpoint, C. H. Burnett, of the Pacific Electric railroad, wound up his lengthy but interesting talk with a few patriotic remarks. In part he said: "The application of this principle may lead to close questions as to whether any particular improvement is or is not essential to war needs, but fortunately there can be no such question with regard to the establishment of ship building plants, which I understand is one of the latest and most promising developments in Orange county. Ships are like other forms of transportation—all other war preparations are absolutely useless without them—and I think it is no exaggeration to say that they are not only the crucial point of our war problem but that there will be need for importance before the world today, and that is to send the kaiser and his cut-throat crew of baby killers back to hell, from whence they came!" MUSSELS TO BECOME RECOGNIZED ARTICLES OF FOOD At a result of the survey which has been started by the state council of defense and the United States bureau of fisheries, which is being carried on by the University of California faculty members, several California packers have expressed their willingness to pack mussels and it is expected that the mussel soon will become a recognized article of diet. Both fresh and canned mussels may be quickly prepared in many different ways for table use, and they make a wholesome and nutritious food. The mussel is a clean feeding animal. It depends for food upon very minute organisms in sea water. It hunts its food simply by opening its mouth and allowing the water, with these small animals and plants in it, to trickle down its throat. The largest part of the mussel's food is diatoms, which are one celled plants that live in the water. Since the mussel swallows everything that comes to it, one can quickly determine from the location of the mussel bed and the appearance of the water, whether the mussels in question would be safe to eat. Hence mussels in polluted or stagnant water are unfit for use. There are two species of mussels on the Pacific coast. One is known as Mytilus edulis, which occurs also on the Atlantic coast. Its shell is small rarely exceeding three inches in length and is bluish olive to bluish black in color. This mussel is found from San Diego northward in protected bays who rehere is brackish water. NOT DISMISS AN ADDITIONAL REPLY NEWPORT HARBOR REFUSE TO BE COLLECTED BY STATE MANY INTERESTING LISTENED TOWARD ASSOCIATED CHAMBERS OF COMMERCE Newport harbor greatest interest meeting of the association commerce held at Wednesday evening made favoring the Burnett of the Paradise road, Harry W. Elles geles chamber of o H. Wallace, chair commission. Mr. "There lies at the plea of Orange county to do one of the great heroic acts in suppliment—the building Newport Beach," "You have a natural bor, the equal of few exceptions, is where on the Pacific." "You can attain with a minimum $500,000 bonds pro $10 per capita; is or is not essential to war needs, but fortunately there can be no such question with regard to the establishment of ship building plants, which I understand is one of the latest and most promising developments in Orange county. Ships are like other forms of transportation—all other war preparations are absolutely useless without them—and I think it is no exaggeration to say that they are not only the crucial point of our war problem but that there will be need for all the ships than we can build for many years after the war is ended. Therefore, in promoting ship building we are working for victory just as surely as though we stood with rifles in our hands in the trenches of Flanders. "But let us lose no time, for as the war now stands the Huns are victorious. They are fighting on enemy soil on every front, and they control through alliance and by conquest a great compact territory stretching from the North Sea to the Mediterr- ranese, and almost to the Persian Gulf, bound together by the famous 'Berlin-to-Bagdad' railroad, thus realizing one of the kaiser's dreams of a great 'Middle Europe' or 'Pan-Germany' —a territory of 1,383,000 square miles, with a population of 187,000,000 people—nearly twice as much as the population of the United States—and they are gradually extending their influence over a large part of Russia. "Now what does this mean to us? It means that here is a great, far-reaching and self-sustaining military power, with vast resources and population, ruled by an absolutely unscrupulous and irresponsible group of men, acknowledging no limits to their ambition, openly preaching the doctrine that 'might makes right,' that a 'state can do no wrong,' that 'a nation that is strong enough can rightfully repudiate its treaties' and tear them into 'scraps of paper,' that 'war is the noblest and hottest expression of human activities,' that the kaiser is 'the sword and instrument of the Almighty,' that he has a mission of 'world conquest,' and that 'German kultur must rear its domes over mountains of corpses, oceans of tears and the death rattle of the conquered." "The these are the words of the kaiser himself and his most eminent spokesmen, and the world has reason to know that they practice what they preach. "What next? They make no secret of their program. It has been appearance of the water, whether the mussels in question would be safe to eat. Hence mussels in polluted or stagnant water are unfit for use. There are two species of mussels on the Pacific coast. One is known as Mytilus edulis, which occurs also on the Atlantic coast. Its shell is small rarely exceeding three inches in length and is bluish olive to bluish black in color. This mussel is found from San Diego northward in protected bays who rehere is brackish water. The other species is known as Mytilus californianus, which often grows to a length of ten inches. It occurs from Alaska south as far as Socorro Island, which is about 250 miles south of Lower California. This mussel prefers the salt water of the open shore where it is seen on reefs, pilings, and the like. After spawning, which is thought to take place in the late summer or early fall, only a few hours are required for the development of the egg into the young larva. This larva is free in the water and is carried about by tidal currents for less than a week. Following another period, during which the creature depends upon its feet for moving about, it forms a shell and settles down upon some solid object to which it can attach itself. This is performed by means of the fibers known as the byssus or beard. It takes about two seasons for the California mussel t reach marketable size which is from three to four inches. RELIGIOUS FANATIC ARRESTED FOR DESERTION Santa Ana Man Will Probably Follow Dart to the Pen For refusing to entrain for Camp Lewis Friday, Esles Seeley of 819 E. Second street, Santa Ana has been adjudged a deserter, and was taken to Ft. McArthur at San Pedro to be court martialed. Seeley claimed exemption upon the ground that he was a religious objector. Under the rules, he was ordered held for service as a non-combatant. V. V. Tubbs, chairman of the local exemption board, carefully explained to Seeley that under the governmental orders, Seeley would be used in non-combatant service; that is, he would not be required to carry arms. Seeley was present Friday morning at roll call, and at that time Tubbs paused to again say to Seeley that he was to be sent as a con-combatant.

"These are the words of the kaiser himself and his most eminent spokesmen, and the world has reason to know that they practice what they preach. 'What next? They make no secret of their program. It has been published for years. It is simply to overwhelm or undermine the balance of Europe, and then—possibly after a period of recuperation obtained by a German peace—to launch their victorious armies against North and South America, the invasion of which has already been planned in infinite detail, and with all the horrors and atrocities of Belgium, multiplied a thousand fold. 'That's why we are in this war! That's what the president had in mind when he said that the 'world must be made safe for democracy.' That's what he meant when he said 'the time has come when we must either conquer or submit.' That is why we are sending our boys to France to help break this vast power of evil before it is let loose upon the world. And that is the reason why you and I, and each one of us, must feel a personal responsibility for the winning of this war against a premature peace. And whether our places are at the front or on the inner lines at home, whether we are asked to risk our lives or merely to build ships or buy a few paltry Liberty bonds, whatever our duty may be and wherever it is to be performed, let us perform it cheerfully, loyally and unselfishly, and with the knowledge that we are enlisting not only under the Stars and Stripes but under the banner of humanity and that there is only one task of supreme ground that he was a religious objector.

Seeley was present Friday morning at roll call, and at that time Tubbs paused to again say to Seeley that he was to be sent as a con-combatant. The man did not show up at the station, and the contingent left without him. When Under Sheriff Iman went in search of him, Seeley was found at his home. He was taken to jail and then before the execution board. In answer to questions by Tubbs, Seeley gave his age as 22, and said that no one had influenced him to refuse to go, that he alone was responsible for his actions. The only change that he would make in his course of action were it to be done over again would be to go to the train and there refuse to go. Seeley was tuned over to Iman, who left with him for Ft. McArthur. Seeley said he is a member of the Pentecostal Assemblies of the World. FIND CURE FOR JUNE DROP OF ORANGES J. E. Colt, county farm advisor at Pomona has announced that a remedy for the "June drop" of oranges has been discovered. Colt stated that in the past for some unaccountable reason young fruit has dropped from the trees in June. He said that a remedy had been found and that citrus growers could have it by applying to him. Mr. and Mrs. A. Nagel were visiting friends in Riverside Wednesday.

HEUER'S STATEMENT MANY INTERESTING SPEECHES LISTENED TO AT MEETING OF ASSOCIATED CHAMBERS Newport harbor was the subject of greatest interest introduced at the meeting of the associated chambers of commerce held at Huntington Beach Wednesday evening. Speeches were made favoring the harbor by C. H. Burnett of the Pacific Electric railroad, Harry W. Elliott of the Los Angeles chamber of commerce, and Lew H. Wallace, chairman of the harbor commission. Mr. Elliott said: "There lies at the door of the people of Orange county and opportunity to do one of the greatest patriotic and heroic acts in support of the government—the building of a harbor at Newport Beach," said the speaker. "You have a natural, landlocked harbor, the equal of which, with very few exceptions, is not to be found anywhere on the Pacific coast." "You can attain maximum results with a minimum expenditure. The $500,000 bonds proposed mean only $10 per capita; Can you buy a Liberator Schumacher stated that there were sufficient funds to take care of both the canyon and coast roads, and that the paving in the canyon now in progress would be completed and open to traffic within one in Los Angeles. I am beginning to believe what I suspected four years ago—that San Francisco people believe that the San Francisco bay is the only harbor on the coast. Asked as to what the tax for the harbor bonds would be on the $1000 assessed valuation, Wallace replied that it would be 65 cents, or $6.50 for the first year on property assessed value of $10,000. I. B. Potter, commodore of the Newport Harbor Yacht club, sent a telegram to the chambers advising that the club is endeavoring to teach the young men of Southern California the art of navigation, and that special attention would be paid to this feature this summer. He also advised that the club was arranging for races to be held at Newport on Sunday, June 2, with the course from Newport to Huntington Beach. He suggested that a perpetual cup be offered by the chambers. On motion of E. E. Jahraus of Laguna Beach, the matter was referred to the advertising committee with power to act, a cup to be provided, with each organization identified with the chambers to contribute its portion of the cost of a cup. Beach cities also will offer individual cups. The communication recently received from the associated chambers of commerce of Riverside requesting prompt action in the completion and opening of the Santa Ana canyon road was read by the secretary. The resolution adopted by the Riverside body suggested that the canyon improvement take precedent over the coast road and all other work. Supervisor Schumacher stated that there were sufficient funds to take care of both the canyon and coast roads, and that the paving in the canyon now in progress would be completed and open to traffic within one in Los Angeles.

A review of field work shows that every company is in game strong, and if present rate is maintained year 1918 will become famous in annals of olddom. The tremendous amount of new work started during week is not confined to one locality alone, but extends from Olinda Land Co.'s property near Yorba Linda thru Brea, Montebello, Murphy, Whittier and southward to Irvine ranch. The total number of locations made and wells started drilling for week is ten. Two completed wells have been added to production, and although no settled figures could be obtained, combined output of these two wells will easily boost daily production of district up another thousand barrels. The operators who are deserving of special mention for worthy achievement during week are many. However a few stand out prominently. The Standard Oil Co., by force of habit comes in for first honors and is credited with starting seven new wells. At Olinda Santa Fe have added a new drilling well to eastern end of field. The Olinda Land Co. has started work on a new well that will test out extreme eastern boundary of field. The General Petroleum and Union companies have begun work on a couple of new wells at Montebello. The Amalgamated Oil Co. adds to good work done in The report of Colonel Heuer as sent to various chambers of commerce was not a report of his recommendation to the government. People should not interpret the report of Colonel Heuer as being his report to the government. At the time of his visit to the bay, he could not report favorably because we had not completed the first step in the development of the bay. Since his investigation, we have completed the jetty. If the people will read Senator Small's letter to Secretary Baker and the latter's reply, as published in the findings of the county harbor commission, they will better understand what Heuer intended to convey. "The report of Heuer is merely a notice that he has not recommended a government appropriation. It is not his recommendation to the government. His official report is now on the way to Washington and will be published in due time. When it is published, the people of the county will know exactly what his recom- ple of Orange county and opportunity to do one of the greatest patriotic and heroic acts in support of the government—the building of a harbor at Newport Beach," said the speaker. "You have a natural, landlocked harbor, the equal of which, with very few exceptions, is not to be found anywhere on the Pacific coast. "You can attain maximum results with a minimum expenditure. The $500,000 bonds proposed mean only $10 per capita: Can you buy a Liberty bond, or invest your money in anything that will be a more direct benefit to the government in its war campaign than to provide that harbor and build ships? "It would be a heroic act of patriotism to complete this project at once. It must be done at once or the great opportunity will be lost. You have responsibilities, you are here tonight representing the various communities of this rich and wonderful county—you have responsibilities, each of you, and it is your duty to enlighten the people of your communities on the wonderful opportunities for adding one of the greatest assets possible to the county through the completion of the project. The people of this county at large have a responsibility to the county, to the nation, and your failure—the failure of the people to grasp this opportunity will ever be a blur on the progressiveness of this county." Mr. Wallace then made a talk on the report of Col. Huerer, in which he said: "The report of Colonel Heuer as sent to various chambers of commerce was not a report of his recommendation to the government. People should not interpret the report of Colonel Heuer as being his report to the government.

Mr. Ed French of Huntington Beach made the address of welcome in the course of which he told of the hopes and ambition of that city to induce the Southern Pacific to electricize its line from Huntington Beach to Anaheim, and asked the influence of the associated chambers in securing such action. Walter Eden responded in which he said that there was nothing that would benefit Santa Ana as much as the improvement of Newport harbor. "I have often wondered why the people of Santa Ana do not take a greater interest in the project, and I don't see how any one owning property in that city could vote against the bonds," said Eden. Dinner was served at the Huntington Beach Inn, and it was a splendid one, the present management doing itself proud. The May meeting will be held at Yorba Linda, and the invitation of Seal Beach to hold the June meeting at that place was accepted. INSANE PATIENT ASSAULTS NURSE WITH A CLUB Woman, Seriously Injured, Brought To Anaheim Sanitarium for Treatment Miss Florence L. Haskins, a nurse of Santa Ana, was the victim of her own patient at about eight o'clock Thursday morning, when he suddenly attacked her with a stick of wood while she was attending him. The patient was Robert Paine of Santa Ana, who, with his wife and nurse, had taken the Robert P. Wilson house at East Newport in the hopes that the climatic change would improve his condition. Laboring under the hallucination that his nurse was attempting to take his life by slow poisoning, the patient became violently insane, and picking up some firewood in the office of commerce of Riverside requesting prompt action in the completion and opening of the Santa Ana canyon road was read by the secretary. The resolution adopted by the Riverside body suggested that the canyon improvement take precedent over the coast road and all other work. Supervisor Schumacher stated that there were sufficient funds to take care of both the canyon and coast roads, and that the paving in the canyon now in progress would be completed and open to traffic within two months. Mayor Ed French of Huntington Beach made the address of welcome in the course of which he told of the hopes and ambition of that city to induce the Southern Pacific to electricize its line from Huntington Beach to Anaheim, and asked the influence of the associated chambers in securing such action. Walter Eden responded in which he said that there was nothing that would benefit Santa Ana as much as the improvement of Newport harbor.

When it is published, the people of the county will know exactly what his recommendations are. "We are taking the necessary steps to appear before the board of engineers when his report comes up for consideration." "The matter of most interest at this time is our county bond issue. We made a mistake in putting it up to the capital issues committee before voting on the bonds. I have made a very thorough investigation, and I have found that the committee cannot pass on an issue before bonds are voted. I have had a partial acknowledgement from the committee that this is true. I have endeavored to get them to retract and admit that they had no authority to pass on the question prior to the voting of the bonds. The committee has gone so far as to say that it is not their policy to pass on issues until after bonds have been voted. So far the committee has refused to reply to certain correspondence had on the subject. District Attorney West wired advising that he would send the commissioners' report if it would aid the committee in forming a conclusion as to the merit of the project, but he has never been favored with a reply. "It is very evident to my mind that the committee does not want the facts—that it does not want to ascertain the true conditions here. The committee is composed of four bankers, three of whom reside in San Francisco." Santa Monica is suffering from an unusual affliction. It is overrun with wild deer. Flocks of the animals come down out of the mountains and eat up the war gardens which the patriotic people are trying to raise, and as the law protects the deer at this season of the year the citizens are not permitted to shoot them. The continuance of the drilling of the Huntington well by the Amalgamated Oil Co. has reached a depth of 3567. At this depth the formation is a light hard shale with occasional showing of oil. The eight inch casing is being carried and the present condition of the hole is such that a depth of 4000 feet can be drilled if necessary. The Birch Oil Co.'s No. 12, 200 yards away from the most famous oil well ever drilled in the state is now down 3710. A good grade of oil sand is now being drilled thru and showing the well is making at this comparative shallow depth is of the most encouraging nature. The management are preparing to make this well a deep one and if possible duplicate No. 5, better known as the three million dollar oil well. The Copa De Oro's Brea canyon well is now drilling at 3747. At this depth the good showing of a mixture of oil sand and shale struck at 3740 still continues and the management is in a very hopeful mood over the outcome of the well. On account of time increased gas persure as the well goes down the indications for an oil well grow stronger. The condition of the hole is of the best and when it is finished it will be clear of all obstructions as no tools have been lost in the hole thus far. The progress of the Columbia Oil Co. is being seriously hampered at Olinda with a stubborn fishing job at No. 28. The well was drilled to 3000 feet and pipe trouble developed at 28.

The pup was just an ordinary 4-months-old collie pup, and he went visiting over at the Service ranch. He may have met the fate of Old Dog Tray. His owner and all his owner's folks say that the pup was sadly and fatally misjudged. Fox and his wife and Mrs. Tennile Watkins testified that Service arrived at the Fox home in an frate mood, and said that the dog had been killing his chickens. Fox called out the pup to show Service what a small, inoffensive pup he was. Service took the dog by the hind legs and beat him to death against a post. Mrs. Service, Service, Glenn Smith, Mrs. Lucretia Heying, M. F. Regan and Elmer Redford, all of Los Alamitos, were witnesses. By their testimony, Judge Cox was informed that the pup when visiting Service's dog was found with a chicken in his mouth. By way of rebuttal the Fox witness- es said that the Services had been missing chickens frequently for five or six months. They were missing chickens before the pup, whose demise caused the court scene, was born. Justice Cox fixed the fine at $50. "I really think I ought to send you to jail," said Cox. Whereupon Service quickly produced $50. The arrest of the firm of Lundblade & Nystrom of Orange on a charge of selling flour and cornmeal that was under weight goes back to the Walnut Creek Milling company, a Kansas firm. That firm is expected to re-imburse the Orange dealers for a fine of $25 imposed by Justice Cox. County Sealer McPhee said that the Orange firm is in no way to blame for the condition, though legally it had to be held all the Kansas firm was out of McPhee's jurisdiction. Ten pound sacks of flour and cornmeal were found to be from two to eight ounces short per sack. The sacks are to be opened and filled to full weight. E. R. Abbey was laid up last week for a few days, being threatened with pneumonia.
