BORE NEW WELLS FOR PUMPING PURPOSES S. A. V. I. COMPANY TO SINK TWO HOLES ON THE RIVER The Santa Ana Valley Irrigation company expects to bore two wells for pumping purposes. The directors hope to strike with one of them the strong underground stream that is known to flow along the Santa Ana river in the Yorba-Peralta section. The directors of the S. A. V. I. company are now making arrangements for the services of a well driller. His first work will be to sink test holes on the Lemke ranch on the south side of the Santa Ana river. The irrigation company has secured a lease for well drilling and operation. On the same side of the river and above the Lemke ranch is the well that furnishes water to the Turner and other ranches. This will be in the strong underground stream: Across the river on the north side is the well of the Peralta Hills tract, and that is in the underground stream. Somewhere between the Turner well and the Peralta Hills well the stream crosses beneath the river bed. The S. A. V. I. directors are of the opinion that it can be struck on the Lemke place and they are going to make a try for it. At least two test holes will be put down, and if the stream is struck a permanent well and pumping plant will be established there, and the water developed will be turned into the S. A. V. I. company canal. It is expected that if struck at all the well will not have to be over 100 feet deep. The second well planned by the engineer officer within two years," said Avila today. "The demand for officers is as insistent as the demand for seamen and firemen. Those who apply themselves are given every opportunity for remuneration and early advancement. The sea offers as many opportunities for a good living as are to be found ashore." Those who want to enroll for sea service may apply at room 323, 369 Pine street, San Francisco, or present themselves at the drug stores in their communities that have been designated as official enrolling agencies. ANOTHER LOAN TO FRANCE The United States now holds $9,615,400,927.65 worth of I. O. U.'s of the Allies. This total was reached Saturday when a new loan was made to France for $157,549,000. France alone now owes the United States $3,010,026,800, the treasury department announced. FULLERTON KNIGHT TEMPLARS INSTITUTE COMMANDERY New Lodge Will Start With Over Fifty Members. Over fifty Knights Templar, local and visiting members, met in the Masonic hall at Fullerton Wednesday night to take up the matter of forming a commandery in that city. Every member present was in favor of organizing a Fullerton lodge of Knights Templar if assured it would be a success, and when the matter came to a vote it was unanimous. Forty or more members in this section belong to Santa Ana commandery and they will transfer their member- CHANGES IN GAME LAWS A statement of the changes made in the game laws by the last legislature have been received by County Game Warden W. E. Adkinson. Important changes have been made as to deer, quail and doves which should be taken note of by the sportsmen to avoid confusion and violation of the regulations as now fixed. Many minor changes in the laws have been made, but the important ones may be noted as follows: Deer season in district four, which includes this county, opens two weeks earlier, August 15, and closes September 15 instead of 30. In other words the deer season here is set ahead just two weeks. In No. 2 and No. 3 districts it will be permissible to kill deer August 1, and the season closes September 15, same as here. These districts are along the coast from Mendocino to Ventura, both those counties being included. Rabbit season opens November 15 and closes January 31, as before, except there is no limit on the number of rabbits killed in a day. On valley and desert quail the season opens one month earlier, the new date being October 15, and closes December 31, also one month earlier, the season being set ahead just one month. Season on mountain quail is same as above, opening October 15, and closing December 31, this also being set ahead one month from the old dates. There are no mountain quail in Orange county excepting one small bunch in the game reserve. Dove season has been shortened to two months. September and October. Under the old law November was included, but this has been cut out. Season on ducks and geese is same over fifty Knights Templar, local and visiting members, met in the Masonic hall at Fullerton Wednesday night to take up the matter of forming a commandery in that city. Every member present was in favor of organizing a Fullerton lodge of Knights Templar if assured it would be a success, and when the matter came to a vote it was unanimous. Forty or more members in this section belong to Santa Ana commandery and they will transfer their membership to the new lodge at Fullerton. Officials from that lodge attended the meeting there and stated that they were aware of the fact that all parts of the county were rapidly increasing in population, therefore they did not think Santa Ana commandery would object to the forming of a new lodge in Fullerton. On motion, it was decided to name the new lodge Fullerton Commandery. The following officers were elected: Arthur Staley, eminent commander. Dr. Jesse Chilton, generalissimo. Stanley Chapman, captain general. E. K. Benchley, treasurer. Messrs. Hartranft, Marks and Staley were appointed a committee to obtain the consent of Santa Ana lodge to form the new commandery. Counting the members who belong to outside lodges and the local members who belong at Santa Ana, it is believed the new commandery will start out with a membership of at least fifty. INVENTOR OF TYPEWRITER When you hear the busy clicking of the typewriter, do you ever stop to wonder who invented this valuable asset to the modern business office? We hear a great deal about the accomplishments of soldiers in these home-coming days, but hoy many of us realize that the first typewriter that "really worked" was invented by a soldier? The credit for this invention is due Colonel Benton Halstead, who was a member of the staff of General Sherman during that famous "march to the sea." Of late years Colonel Halstead had been a resident of Washington, D. C., and on February 26th he died at his home there. Colonel Halstead was born in Ohio near Cincinnati, 84 years ago.—The Chart.

MERCHANT MARINE SERVICE Headquarters of the Shipping Board's recruiting service has appealed to California to furnish 500 men a month for the new American merchant marine. Although sea volunteers have been coming forward in large numbers, the response up to date is not large enough to guarantee full crews for the new ships, declares Henry Avila, supervisor of Shipping Board sea training on the Pacific Coast. Men who volunteer for the merchant marine service are given six weeks' training aboard the ship Iris, which is stationed on the Pacific Coast. While in training they are paid at the rate of $30 a month. On being graduated from the Iris the students are assigned to deep water ships at the high wages now prevailing in the American merchant marine. Supervisor Avila said that there are many opportunities for promotion for the young American who wants to follow the sea permanently. "There is no reason why any American, between 18 and 35 years of age, who volunteers for service in the merchant marine, cannot be a deck or en- Colonel Benton Halstead, who was a member of the staff of General Sherman during that famous "march to the sea."

Wilhelm Hohenzollern declares that if the allies decide to try him for his crimes they will find nothing but an inanimate hunk of clay when they come to arrest him. Why not make a noise like he was wanted and give Bill an excuse for croaking. It would be the one decent act of his eventful life should he muster up courage enough to perform the deed. "Just like skipping a grade in school," are the words that will close the tablet to be placed in the Episcopal Church at Santa Ana in memory of Nat Rochester, one of the Santa Ana boys who sacrificed his life with the "Lost Battallion" during the fighting in the Argonne. The words are taken from an expression in a letter to his mother written before he went into battle, in which he told her that if he should have to pay the supreme price "in line of duty" that it would be "just like skipping a grade in school," and that she must never look at it in any other light. The sketch will follow the lines of one erected at St. Luke's Church, Rochester, N.Y., in memory of Col. Nathaniel Rochester, founder of Rochester and one of Washington's officers in the Revolutionary war. Colonel Rochester was the great-grandfather of the Santa Ana hero.

And They Say East street residents are thinking of erecting an asylum for boneheads, and will recruit subjects from among the list of guys who persist in driving heavily loaded wagons over that thoroughfare, thereby cutting it up frightfully, in hauling gravel from the pits, when by a slight detour they could swing west and get into the paved streets. The East street folks surely have a grievance. A fashionably dressed woman, driving an expensively appearing automobile backed her car away from the curb downtown the other day, and kept going backward until she bumped into a jitney across on the other side. As the town's dry the only thing to account for it was the humidity in the air. An elderly lady stepped up to a news stand the other evening to buy a Los Angeles production, laying down two cents. "Three cents, please," said the vendor. "T-h-r-e-e cents!" came the rejoinder. "Taint worth it," and she threw the paper back. An up-state cement products concern has sent in its card, announcing it is ready to build fountains, provide pergolas, install winding walks and so forth. Nothing like getting in on the ground floor.

Will you kindly swing it around so it will be correctly parked?" "Oh, thank you, Mr. Officer, we will do anything you say—thank you. We are from Huntington Beach and do all our trading in Anaheim. Thank you very much." "Don't mention it," replied the officer. "You see," he said, after the ladies went away, "if I'd pinched them, I'll bet they never would come back." Two Men Injured In Runaway Accident County Treasurer Joplin and George Mills Have Serious Mishap. In a runaway that occurred Friday afternoon, County Treasurer J. C. Joplin had his left collarbone dislocated at the shoulder and George Mills of West Seventeenth street, Garden Grove, had his right elbow dislocated and fractured. The two men were thrown off the front end of a spring wagon when the double-tree broke. The accident occurred at what is known as the Fox place in a side canyon of Bell canyon. Joplin owns the Fox place, where he has a young apricot orchard, and the old Miller place, located in Bell canyon near the mouth of the small canyon in the upper end of which the Fox place lies. Friday Joplin and Mills went to the Miller place with a party of friends who were planning to can apricots brought to the Miller place from the Fox ranch. Joplin and Mills had several boxes of apricots in a spring wagon and had started down the road, which is very Chickens Found Boon To Orange Poultry Fertilization, After Long Tests, Declared Big Benefit to Groves. That there should be one chicken for every tree in an orange grove, with 1000 chickens on a ten-acre ranch, is the belief of W. L. Grubb, farmer of Santa Ana. His observation comes after years of practical experience, and he has followed this policy for a number of years. The fertilization from one chicken, he has demonstrated, is sufficient for the fertilization of an orange or walnut tree. He produced facts and figures at the Garden Grove meeting of the directors of the Poultry Producers, Inc., and his statements attracted wide attention. Fertilization is a problem of the future that the growers must solve, and Grubb believes the keeping of chickens on a ranch will not only provide the necessary material for enriching the soil, but also will return a profit on maintenance and operation. The Poultry Producers, Inc., is composed of poultrymen of Los Angeles, Riverside, San Bernardino, San Diego and Orange counties, and its three-year egg selling contract with producers will expire January 1, 1920. Members now are signing for a five-year renewal of the contract. The association is strictly co-operative, with the products of the chicken ranches being sold collectively. It was organized in 1916 with an actual operating capital of $3500 and has done a $1,000,000 business. The capital stock has increased until today it is $80,000. The city is the owner of quite a lot of property. It owns 73 acres in the City of Stanton, 30 acres in the West Section now used as a sewerage farm, a large frontage on West Cypress street, the corner lot occupied by the old city hall, 16 acres used as a dumping grounds in the Southeast Section, a lot at Olive, besides the property on South Los Angeles street occupied by the power house. Some timid people insist they felt an earthquake Monday night, last week, while others say the quiver was caused by the big oil gusher which began business that night on the Murphy lease.

Friday Joplin and Mills went to the Miller place with a party of friends who were planning to can apricots brought to the Miller place from the Fox ranch. Joplin and Mills had several boxes of apricots in a spring wagon and had started down the road, which is very steep in spots, when a number of loose colts that had been at a watering through in the lane, broke in a run ahead of them. One of the horses that Joplin was driving had been running with the colts, and she, too, started to run. Joplin turned the lines over to Mills. With one horse plunging ahead and the other holding back, the runaway went down the hill, which was not very steep there, about 200 yards to a point where there was an open gate leading into a stubble field. Joplin called to Mills to turn into the field, which would give the horses an uphill run of half a mile instead of a run down the dangerous steep, narrow mountain road. It was the horse that didn't want to run away that brought disaster. He tried to stay in the main road, while the runaway mare responded to the pull to head into the stubble field, where the colts had run. The gentle horse pulled to the main road just enough for the wagon to hit the gate post. The force of that collision snapped the doubletree, and Mills was jerked off the seat and Joplin was thrown off. An old man named Bounds was at work picking apricots. He hitched up a buggy, and leaving the injured men, drove to the Miller place, and Mrs. Frank Sawyer drove at once to Sleeper & Waller's ranch, and telephoned to her husband at Santa Ana for medical help. MOTOR VEHICLES IN STATE The Motor Vehicle apportionment for the state and counties for the six months' period ending June 30, 1919, totals $3,600,102.62. This is the largest in the history of the department. Of this sum, $1,800,051.31 will be apportioned to the counties in proportion to the number of registrations from each county, and $1,800,051.31 will be apportioned to the state for expenditure on state roads. Misimo Alvarado talked himself into jail before Justice Cox Monday, when he went into the courtroom to get Cox's aid in patching up his matrimonial difficulties. Alvarado, it seems, was married a year ago in Los Angeles, his eloping bride being 16 years old at that time, and in a few months left her. She was ill with flu and pneumonia when he left. Since that time a baby has been born, which is now two months old. Alvarado had been in the northern part of the state and nothing was heard of him until his return Monday. He tried to get his wife to live with him again, but neither she nor her parents would consent. Then Alvarado decided possibly Justice Cox could make an order forcing his wife to live with him again, and all parties were in court. The girl said she didn't want to live with the man after the way he had acted. The man said he could support her but could not pay $10 a month for the support of the baby if they re- "Now you must try some of our homemade beer." Everybody is doing it.

An erroneous impression prevails here that a new law forbids the turning of autos in the middle of a block. That edict it is said applies to some of the big cities, but as yet the trustees have not so ordained here. At a recent session this subject was discussed, but no official action was taken. It does beat all how some of the bottled "evidence" has a way all its own of disappearing. Maybe humidity causes evaporation. A rumor floated up street that the Mexicans gave a street dance in Sonoratown Saturday night, and report said there was free (near) beer. Formerly at these functions there was mucho cerveza, mucho combatte. The other day two ladies drove up in a fine big machine and parked the car, which to the eye of the vigilant cop, was not according to rules.

During a corresponding period last year the department registered 35,443 automobile dealers, 166 motorcycle dealers, 9900 chaufeurs and 353 trailers. The gross registration, 403,802, does not represent the total number of automobiles actually in operation at this time, but it does represent the total number of registrations made by the department since the first of the year. There have been 17,000 licenses cancelled and 26,186 transfers of ownership recorded. The gross automobile receipts of the department for the period January 1 to June 30, 1918, totaled $3,124,-357.59; for a corresponding period in 1919, the total gross receipts were $3,-813,394.30—showing an increase of $689,036.71 for a six months' period. The total number of automobiles registrations issued by the department from January 1 to June 30, 1918, was 335,443; for corresponding period in 1919, the number of automobile registrations issued totalled 403,802, showing an increase of 68,359 registrations.

Furthermore, Alvarado said if she should find his wife with anybody else he might "commit homicide." He talked so much on this line that Cox decided he was not a fit man to remain at large, and ordered him to jail on a charge of non-support brought by his wife. Today another charge, non-support of child, was sworn to by Mary Alvarado, and the man's preliminary examination was set for August 12 at 2 p.m. Bail was fixed at $1000, and Alvarado will remain in jail pending a court disposition of his case.
