ASK PERMISSION TO DIVERT RIVER SUPERVISORS ENDORSE PROPOSAL TO MOVE THE SANTA ANA'S MOUTH TWO MILES HEARING OF PETITION FOR INCORPORATION OF PLACENTIA CONTINUED TO AUGUST 29 A petition was sent to the war department by the board oof supervisors asking permission to divert the channel of the Santa Ana river at its mouth to a point two and one-half miles north of the present ocean wharf at Newport Beach. Demands on the hospital fund and on the county general fund for the detention home were allowed as read. Fumigating licenses were ordered issued to W. F. Bonkosky and Thos. L. Stark and spraying licenses to J. F. Mueller and Wm. Collar, on recommendation of the horticultural commissioner. J. A. Porter, constable of Newport Beach township was given a leave of absence from the state from July 8th to July 22, 1918. J. S. Howard, justice of the peace of Anaheim township was given a leave of absence from the state from July 18 to August 8, inclusive. The matter of an appropriation for farm home demonstrator was continued to August 20, 1918. G. A. Whidden was employed as assistant as having the most expensive state government per capita in the United States, save only Nevada. The salary for statutory officers alone jumped from $845,000 per annum in 1911 to $2,300,000 in 1917, approximately 300 per cent, but these salaries are the smallest part of the total cost of state government. The total cost of governing the state of California in 1917 was just under $24,000,000, and this did not include outlays for permanent improvements. If those were added, the total bill paid by the California taxpayers for 1917 mounted to $28,727,932. To show what the increase has been, the total cost for government and improvements in 1902 was $8,611,719, as compared with $28,727,932 15 years later. In the meantime, the estimated population increase was from 1,673,343 in 1902 to 3,029,032. The population less than doubled in the period, while the cost of government was more than multiplied by three. A thing that Mr. Hayes did not tell the San Bernardino listeners last night is that this enormous tax is being put over on them unconsciously, indirectly, almost by stealth. If the taxpayers were paying this directly and it was reflected in a jumping tax rate, Sacramento would have been shaken long ago. But because of the fact that the individual taxpayer pays no state tax directly, he is not aware of the fact that the railroads and the power companies and other corporations are paying the increased tax and charging it all up to him. Amendment No. 1 is the other name for this inequitable system—San Bernardino Sun. TRADE COMBINATION For the first time in history, American manufacturers have formed a combination to develop foreign trade desirable concentrate in protein. Beginning weather in summer cowpea seed in stock likely to be very highly desirable than to utilize the surplus in additional plants; there is an excess adding, particularly to the department says especially, should fracage of cowpeas. The cowpea hay cured, is of high fertility equal to that southern states shortly as possible they hay they will need south has imported quantities of hay far west. Growing this will relieve the railroad traffic.

Howard, justice of the peace of Anaheim township was given a leave of absence from the state from July 18 to August 8, inclusive. The matter of an appropriation for farm home demonstrator was continued to August 20, 1918. G. A. Whidden was employed as assistant accountant to audit the county books for the past fiscal year, compensation to be $5.00 per day. Assessment No. 12,281, tax rolls of 1916-17 assessed to Harry Gray, was cancelled on account of being a double assessment. Tax sale No. 745 of 1918 taxes, assessed to Anaheim Land Sydicate, was ordered cancelled, the description being erroneous. The Liberty Petroleum Co. was given permission to lay pipe line from their No. 1, well, Newport Heights, along the county road to the Newport Boulevard, and under said boulevard to the Southern Pacific right of way. G. R. Newman was given permission to operate an auto stage line from Santa Ana to El Toro for the period of three years. Ordinance No. 157 extending the time for construction of an electric railroad as described in Ordinance No. 149, was passed and adopted. Ordinance No. 158, extending the time for construction of an electric railroad as described in Ordinance No. 151, was passed and adopted. The application of Jotham Bixby company for permit to lay pipe line across Santiago Boulevard, on the west side of Santiago creek was granted. The hearing of the petition for incorporation of Placentia as a city of the sixth class was continued to August 29, 1918, at 10 a.m. The county auditor was ordered and directed to cancel Warrant No. 3859, drawn in favor of B. F. Hawkins. John Kettler was appointed as a director of the Westminster drainage district. Sterling Price, Andrew H. Moore and A. F. Walker were appointed as assessment commissioners of Bolsa Drainage district. J. S. Miller, contractor for the Santa Ana canyon road, was granted an extension of time to July 19, for the completion of his contract. The proceedings for the formation of road improvement district No. 2 TRADE COMBINATION For the first time in history, American manufacturers have formed a combination to develop foreign trade, according to an announcement by the Allied Industries corporation. Forty four mill owners, whose domestic sales aggregate annually $100,000,000 have given the corporation authority, its stetement said, to send agents to Central and South America, Cuba, Porto Rico, the Dominican Republic and the Philippines and the straits settlements to introduce their goods. The combination was affected under authority of the recently enacted Webb-Pomerene law, which allows manufacturers to join forces for the purpose of opening foreign markets to American trade. In addition to pushing American goods abroad, the corporation asserted the plan contemplates a reciprocal encouragement of foreign trade activities here, particularly for Central and South American products. A permanent exposition, already established in New York city, will exploit American manufactured articles intended for export and foreign articles seeking import. Firms so far allied with the corporation include makers of textile goods, heating and lighting systems, chemicals, leather and rubber articles and toys. In their behalf agents will start this month for the regions mentioned, with authority to extend long credits to responsible foreign importers. The Allied Industries Corporation is headed by Alfred I. Dupont of Wilmington, who recently purchased the Grand Central Palace, to which the manufacturers' exposition soon will be transferred. AMERICAN GROWN EGYPTIAN COTTON When the war trade board recently announced the revocation of all outstanding licenses for the importation of Egyptian cotton and that importation of only 80,000 bales of long-staple Egyptian cotton will be allowed during 1918, attention was called to the increase in the production of Egyptian cotton in the irrigated lands no state tax directly; he is not aware of the fact that the railroads and the power companies and other corporations are paying the increased tax and charging it all up to him.

Sterling Price, Andrew H. Moore and A. F. Walker were appointed as assessment commissioners of Bolsa Drainage district. J. S. Miller, contractor for the Santa Ana canyon road, was granted an extension of time to July 19, for the completion of his contract. The proceedings for the formation of road improvement district No. 2 were dismissed, and the maps, grades and estimates of said work ordered preserved for future reference. A resolution was passed endorsing the "Victory Bell" movement originated by Mrs. Eleanor B. Parks of La Jolla, California, and requesting each community in Orange county to have a bell or whistle sound seven notes for prayer for victory each day at noon. The clerk was instructed to advertise for bids for surfacing the Dyer road in the fifth road district with Topeka top, said bids to be opened August 6, at 10 a.m., and to be published according to law. EXPENSIVE GOVERNMENT Whether J. O. Hayes of San Jose shall be the republican nominee for governor we will not know until after the result of the primary on August 27 is declared. In fact, due to a multiplicity of candidates and to other considerations which must be taken into account, we have our doubts about it. But there is no doubt but that his agitation of the question of state expenses and the surplus of commissions that are responsible for them, will sooner or later bear fruit in forcing some reforms, whoever may be governor. It is no credit to California to be AMERICAN GROWN EGYPTIAN COTTON When the war trade board recently announced the revocation of all outstanding licenses for the importation of Egyptian cotton and that importation of only 80,000 bales of long-staple Egyptian cotton will be allowed during 1918, attention was called to the increase in the production of Egyptian cotton in the irrigated lands of Arizona and neighboring states. The production in 1918 of this American grown Egyptian cotton, according to specialists of the United States department of agriculture, probably will be between 40,000 and 50,000. In 1917 the production was 16,000 bales, and in 1916 3,331 bales. The acreage this year is estimated at 80,000 compared with an acreage of 35,000 in 1917. Egyptian cotton is used largely for auto tires and high grade sewing thread, and spinning tests by the bureau of markets of the department indicate that it can be used advantageously in the manufacture of airplane and balloon fabrics. Commercial production of Egyptian in the American southwest was begun only in 1912. GROW MORE COWPEAS There is a large surplus supply of cowpea seed in the country which should be planted or fed promptly to save it from the ravages of weevils, according to the committee on seed stocks of the United States department of agriculture. The surplus is of varieties with colored seed which ordinarily are not used for human food, but which produce hay of excellent quality and seed which is very ANAHEIM GAZETTE desirable concentrated stock feed rich in protein. Beginning with warm weather in summer the damage to cowpea seed in storage by weevils is likely to be very large, so that it is highly desirable that plans be made to utilize the surplus supply promptly in additional plantings, and where there is an excess above this, for feeding, particularly to hogs. It is urgent, the department says, that the south, especially, should further increase its acreage of cowpeas this year. The cowpea hay, when properly cured, is of high feeding value, practically equal to that of alfalfa. The southern states should grow as nearly as possible the entire supply of hay they will need. Heretofore the south has imported each year large quantities of hay from the north and west. Growing this hay in the south will relieve the railways of a tremendous traffic. Cowpea seed, especially when ground, is a valuable stock feed. The experiments of the Alabama experiment station have clearly shown that cowpeas are practically equal to corn in feeding value for fattening pigs. However, a mixture of corn and cowpeas in equal parts is far more satisfactory than either fed alone. In similar experiments at the South Carolina experiment station, the results indicated that cowpeas alone gave better results for fattening pigs than corn alone. However the proper method is to feed the two in mixture. Cowpea meal has also been found a very satisfactory feed for mules, especially in a mixture composed of one third cowpea meal and two thirds corn and cob meal. Similar mixtures may be made with other grain feeds that are not rich in protein, as the cowpea is rich in this material. BUCKWHEAT AS COVER CROP Fish and Game commission that California each year produces 15,000 deer, 500,000 ducks and geese, 100,000 quail, 75,000 rabbits, 50,000 jack rabbits, 5000 snipe and like birds, and an equal number of various game such as squirrels, grouse, sage hens, etc., while necessarily conjectural, are concurred in by closest students, and shed some light upon what this enormous supply of food is worth to the commonwealth. Of the good health through natural exercise, and the vast industry that has grown up around the inherent love of field sports, much more might be said. This year the gun and rod are invested with an aspect of patriotic service that already is greatly enhancing their popularity with men who gave up shooting when the plenty of early day game gave place to short seasons and low limits of modern scientific conservation as practiced so successfully in California during the past few years. This hardly can fail to prove an exceptional deer year, although likely to be a bad one for the future supply unless the red bucks of the present harden their horns and get back to cover before the "First" as they certainly will do right soon thereafter, soft horns or hard horns. The season appears to be at least fifteen days late, as shown by sweet corn and garden crops generally. This affects all game similarly. The late rains make late feed, and kept it green longer than normally, beside raising a very heavy crop of weed seeds for the doves and quall. Mony deer seen by scouts and prospectors appear to have made a good growth, and look round and fat, red as rabbits mostly. Few "blue backs" are reported nearer than the Sierras. Deputies of the Fish and Game commission, while varying somewhat in reports owing to divisivity of conditions between San Luis Obispo and the Sierras, are all of opinion that the deer have made a good gain BUCKWHEAT AS COVER CROP For three years H. E. Howard of San Dimas has been growing buckwheat as a summer cover crop in part of his citrus orchard with very satisfactory results. Last year the buckwheat formed a solid mass of green at the time of the heat wave. Mr. Howard averaged between 350 and 400 loose boxes of fruit, an acre from this piece, while on the part of his orchard not planted to buckwheat he obtained about 150 boxes from six acres. Mr. Howard also states that his soil conditions have been greatly ameliorated by the buckwheat. He uses about 50 per cent additional water, which is made up by the reduced cost of cultivation and irrigation. FEWER SHORT MEASURE CONTAINERS BEING USED The bureau of markets is gradually eliminating all short measure containers covered by the standard container act, such as berry boxes and baskets, till baskets, and climax or grape baskets. Manufacturers are now making these in standard sizes and discontinuing the production of short or non standard packages, even for local use, because most of the fruits and vegetables are shipped across state lines. Local supplies of short containers that were in stock at the time the act was passed are now almost exhausted and can be used only where state laws do not prohibit them. The present act is said to be but a beginning on standardizing packages and the investigations of the bureau of markets show the need of standardizing other containers such as the hamper, round baskets and tomato carriers. Thirty different sizes of hammers have been found between the peck and the 1½ bushel sizes, while three sizes are said to be sufficient for the legitimate demands of the trade. GAME WILL HELP CONSERVE MEAT SUPPLY Characterizing as unfriendly to the government attempts by stock salesmen and promoters to exchange stock for Liberty loan bonds, Gov. Lynch of the Twelfth Federal Reserve district has notified all Liberty loan state and county chairmen to report immediately full details of any such activity in their territory. Governor Lynch's letter to the Liberty Loan chairmen follows: "There has been reported to us very considerable activity by stock salesmen and promoters, principally those representing companies whose securities are utterly worthless, in efforts to exchange the stocks they are issuing for Liberty bonds. "This practice is specifically disapproved by the treasury department and we shall be compelled to characterize any continuance of it as an act unfriendly to the government. "If any such cases come to your notice, please write to me promptly, giving name of company issuing stock which is being offered, its address, name of salesman, and of the officers of the company if you can get them." MEETING NEW DEMANDS FOR NURSES The results of the national baby test vantageous for ailments of the Nurses and paints in the muscles and joints. Acute or chronic diseases of the various organs often yield surprising alacrity to our modalities. Fees reasonable. HOTEL VALENCIA Modern in Every Respect Finest Hotel in Orange County Accommodations Unsurpassed By any hotel in the Southland and prices reasonable. Corner Lemon and Center Sts Anaheim, California Rates, $1.00 per night, up. Special Rates by the week or month. The nurse learns how to make clear to the expectant mother the way to care for herself before the baby is born. She must know how to spread the knowledge of methods of preventing disease and of checking the spread of epidemics. Her training must fit her to give nursing care under all sorts of conditions. She must learn to concern herself with all the things in the community which may have a bearing on the health of its citizens. Wisconsin has long had a course for the training of public health nurses. Iowa commenced in June a special emergency course for graduate nurses. It aims to give in a shorter time the necessary training for public health nursing. This course is arranged by the state anti-tuberculosis association. In addition to the need for the trained work of the public health nurse many places are seeking volunteers for the follow up work of the national weighing and measuring test. Wisconsin offers a six weeks' course of special instruction for college graduates who can give their services in the children's year campaign. The program of the children's year especially provides for the enlistment of home health volunteers to make the nurse's work go farther by helping GAME WILL HELP CONSERVE MEAT SUPPLY Many Hunters Will Add to the Larger With Their Guns Delightfully cool mornings of the past week have reminded hunters that but one week from Wednesday their rifles may crack at the up coast deer, or the deadly twenty bores may make merry among the fat young grain fed of the dove country that lies east of the Tejon highway and north of the Los Angeles county line. The Bakersveld boulevard divides the doves from the deer until August 15 when both may be legally shot throughout the Western Sierra and San Joaquin valley as well as northern California. Coming of the game season this year finds particular premium placed upon bringing in the meat, whether venison or birds. No better use of spare time has been suggested than turning it into healthful exercise and practical benefit by providing choice of food supply through "reaping the unsown crop" of hills and leds. The hunter brings to use those wild creatures which convert useless weeds and wastes into the most healthful meat known to man, and at saving of the high cost of raising domestically an amount equal to that supplied by the gun. Estimates by the MEETING NEW DEMANDS FOR NURSES The results of the national baby test have shown such great need for public health nurses that new ways have had to be found to meet the increased demand. Many places have reported to the Children's bureau of the United States department of labor that they have funds to employ a public health nurse to keep their children well and find it difficult to secure nurses. The supply of public health nurses has always been small in comparison with the need for their work. At present it is being drawn upon to help meet the great need not of the army alone but of the civil population, the women and sick children of war ridden France. Various ways are being found to meet these new demands for public health nurses. In connection with the campaign to save 100,000 babies the children's bureau has endeavored to make clear that the field of public health nursing in this country is one of patriotic service because of the present need to save life. Graduate nurses who can not serve in France are urged to take one of the special courses which will fit them to do public health nursing. Such a course includes a study of the general conditions that affect the well being of the child in the family; training in dietetics and bacteriology is also given. In addition to the need for the trained work of the public health nurse many places are seeking volunteers for the follow up work of the national weighing and measuring test. Wisconsin offers a six weeks' course of special instruction for college graduates who can give their services in the children's year campaign. The program of the children's year especially provides for the enlistment of home health volunteers to make the nurse's work go farther by helping the nurse in whatever way she directs. VIOLATED FOOD LAWS, RESTAURANT CLOSED Santa Ana Cafe Proprietors Face Trial for Failure to Obey For violation of orders of the U.S. food administration, in that they served double portions of wheat products to customers on wheatless days, H. Murphy and Frank Gostus, Greek lessees' of the Palace restaurant at French and Fourth streets, faced trial before Ralph P. Merritt, food administrator of California. In order to avoid such trial, the restaurant men did penance by keeping the doors of their place closed from 7 a.m. until 7 p.m. Tuesday. The door bears a poster, two feet by four, bearing the following "Closed by owners in partial reparation for violation of the laws of the United States food administration." Evidence against the two men, who leased the place from Frank Musselman, was gathered by C. S. Crookshank and H. H. Moye, county and city food administrators, followed repeated warnings. When confronted with the evidence, the men were Griffith Lumber Co. SEE US FOR YOUR BUILDING MATERIAL In Any Amount, Large or Small South Los Angeles St. H. M.!ADAMS, Mgr.

Rather than face Merritt, the men agreed to close their doors and to display the sign on their door telling why. This is the first case in Orange county where a firm's doors have been closed by the food administration, for as a rule all regulations have been explicitly obeyed. A very few, however, have through neglect or otherwise failed to live up to the entire regulations, and the period of warning, states Mr. Crookshank, is about over. Shortly after the place was closed, Gostas was thrown from an automobile on a Santa Ana street and killed.
