STREAM GAUGING STATIONS ON WATERWAYS THE FLOW OF THE SANTA ANA RIVER'S VARIOUS BRANCHES IS BEING MEASURED. Commissioner Johnstone Reviews the Work that has been Done by Federal, State and County Authorities in Study of Water Supply Problems. Eleven stream guaging stations have just been completed on the mountain streams feeding the Santa Ana river. Arrangements have been made for placing a station on Santiago creek for the purpose of measuring the flow of that stream. This station will probably be constructed during the coming summer. Announcement of the completion of the eleven stations is made in a statement issued by W. A. Johnstone of San Dimas, a member of the State Water Commission. Johnstone reviews the work that has been done by federal, state and county authorities in a co-operative study of the water supply problems of Southern California, to which work Orange county has contributed and is contributing $1,000 a year. Commissioner Johnstone's statement follows: Eleven modern stream gauging stations have just been completed on rapidly increasing number of pumping plants no win operation during the summer months. All spreading and other storage systems must be designed to meet the stress of maximum flood conditions and hydraulic engineers are entirely dependent upon rainfall and runoff data in making their plans and estimates. The same thing applies to flood control, highway and bridge construction as well as the protection of our coastal harbors from silt infiltration. It is proposed to extend these studies to include a thorough ground water survey and when this is done the records obtained will be unusually complete. The study now under way on the Santa Ana is modeled after one that has been in effect in Los Angeles county for the past three years and much credit is due to the Los Angeles County board in joining in the initiation of a method that combines into one effort all the federal, state and county machinery usually employed in such work so that all use less duplication of effort is avoided and funds are made available to carry on the work in the most scientific and permanent way. The stream gauging stations are built of solid re-inforced concrete and are expected to withstand any floods or storms that may ever occur. They are equipped with the latest type of self-recording instruments and will give an accurate gauging height record of the flow of the stream by hours, days and months. The rainfall gauges are of two types, the common U. S. Standard gauge used and furnished by the Weather Bureau. Road District, w March 16, 1920.

Johnstone reviews the work that has been done by federal, state and county authorities in a co-operative study of the water supply problems of Southern California, to which work Orange county has contributed and is contributing $1,000 a year. Commissioner Johnstone's statement follows: Eleven modern stream gauging stations have just been completed on the mountain streams feeding the Santa Ana River. This marks a long step in the progress of a scientific and thorough study of the water resources of the State and is being carried on through a co-operative agreement between the State Water Commission, the counties of San Bernardino, Riverside and Orange and the U. S. Geological Survey, U. S. Forest Service and the U. S. Weather Bureau and is an extension of the study being maintained on the mountain watershed of Los Angeles county, where fifteen stations of the same kind have been placed covering all the principal mountain streams from Paceima Canyon, near San Fernando to the San Antonio Canyon on the east line of the county. The purpose of the study is to obtain dependable records of the rainfall on the mountain watershed and of the water discharged by the mountain streams on the plains and at salient points in the course of the larger streams or rivers. The collection of this data requires that it shall be gathered by expert engineers and observers so that when collected it will be regarded as dependable in every way, and to be so the records must be continuous and unbroken and extend over as long a period of years as possible. Most of the records now available are fragmentary and in complete. Under this study, maintained through the foresight of the supervisors of the three counties and the active cooperation of state and federal officers, there will be collected data that will be of the greatest value in the future development of Southern California. Water is the very essence of life with us and the supply available must be conserved in every possible The stream gauging stations are built of solid re-inforced concrete and are expected to withstand any floods or storms that may ever occur. They are equipped with the latest type of self-recording instruments and will give an accurate gauging height record of the flow of the stream by hours, days and months. The rainfall gauges are of two types, the common U. S. Standard gauge used and furnished by the Weather Bureau and the new Marvin self-recording gauge which records the intensity of the rainfall as well as the quantity and tells when the rain fell and how rapid the precipitation. Six of these instruments are now installed between Wilson's Peak and Mount San Bernardino. Eighty-nine official gauging stations have been installed, mostly on the mountain watersheds, by the Weather Bureau under the direction of Dr. Ford A. Carpenter until recently meterologist in charge of the Los Angeles office. These are inspected each year and daily records maintained and it is confidently expected that from the use of these instruments a far better understanding of the rainfall on the mountain watershed and the laws which control it will be learned than we have at present. The greatest credit is due Capt. F. H. Fowler, District Engineer of the Forest Service, H. D. McGlashen, and his assistant, F. C. Ebert, engineer for Southern California, Dr. Carpenter and the supervisors of the four counties for the excellent work done by them in making such co-operation possible and practicable.

Barrett was a Seventh Regt., wh Under this study, maintained through the foresight of the supervisors of the three counties and the active cooperation of state and federal officers, there will be collected data that will be of the greatest value in the future development of Southern California. Water is the very essence of life with us and the supply available must be conserved in every possible way and put to the fullest use if we are to extend the growth of this section to its greatest possibilities. Irrigation, power, storage, spreading and flood control projects must be based upon such data and the longer the records are spread in time the more valuable they become. They must also cover all of the variations of seasons and cycles so that wet and dry periods may be anticipated and provisions made to meet such conditions when anticipated. We have arrived at the time when we must turn to mountain storage where possible and practicable and to underground storage in other situations. The underground supply of water held in the gravels of underlying basins has become an extremely important part of our water resources and the increasing draught upon these resources makes it yearly more apparent that we must do all that is possible to get the flood waters into the upper detrital cones which exist at the outlets of the mountain streams and not let them rush off in flood times to the ocean, destroying valuable property in their progress. Such percolating waters travel underground very slowly and become an available supply for the Supervisors Approve Plans for Brookhurst Road and Euclid Avenue. The County Engineer was instructed by the supervisors at last meeting to make survey and ascertain as to feasible place for road crossing Santa Ana river at point between Olive and Yorba bridge, in Fourth Road District.

The June institute of the California Citrus Institute, organized by Southern California citrus growers, may be held in Santa Ana. The secretary, H. S. Valle of the Citrus Experiment Station at Riverside, states that it is to be held either in Santa Ana or Pomona. H. E. Wahlberg, farm advisor for Orange county, is anxious to have the institute held at Santa Ana. He believes that the information to be given out to growers through an institute has a value that cannot be measured. "We will have to make provision spring unless local co-operation can be secured." "The Forest Service has no specific appropriation for recreational development work. We have countless requests for funds for this purpose, and only through curtailment of some of our other lines of work are we able to assist in financing the most necessary camp ground developments. At the present time our funds are all allotted, and since the present congress is closely scrutinizing all requests for appropriations, there is no chance for special funds for this work next year. "Now I know that Orange county people are interested in this project, and believe that if proper publicity is given, local motor car dealers, automobile club members, chambers of commerce, and perhaps the county will co-operate in furnishing funds, as we stand ready to supervise construction without delay and will maintain the camp thereafter. "For a minimum of $500 we can put in the necessary latrines, garbage pits, incinerators, tables, benches, fireplaces, etc., according to standard plans used in all our camp ground work. Of course more money will make a better camp. "I enclose copy of a map which will soon be posted in automobile salesrooms and garages all over the state. You will see that Trabuco is one of the specially noted camping areas. "I will be south all next month and shall be in Santa Ana. In the meantime if you have any suggestions on this matter or can stir up co-operation, it will enable us to get the camp ready in the near future." Valle of the Citrus Experiment Station at Riverside, states that it is to be held either in Santa Ana or Pomona. H. E. Wahlberg, farm advisor for Orange county, is anxious to have the institute held at Santa Ana. He believes that the information to be given out to growers through an institute has a value that cannot be measured. "We will have to make provision for housing between 400 and 500 visitors during the institute," said Wahlberg. "I know that hotel and rooming-house accommodations are all taken up now and probably will be in June, but it seems to me that Santa Anans and growers around the country are interested enough in having a citrus institute in the county to care for most of the visitors or all of them in their homes. "The matter was taken up at the meeting of Anaheim farm center last night, and those present declared that they would do everything they can to help bring the institute to this county. That means that Anaheim is backing Santa Ana in getting this series of lectures on citrus subjects brought to this county. "The matter is to be taken up at the meeting of the board of directors of the County Farm Bureau, and it is my hope that within a day or two I can assure the officers of the California Citrus Institute that the visitors can be taken care of during the institute here." ROADS BEING POSTED TO TRABUCO GROUNDS Orange County Camp Expected to be a Popular Resort. That $500 will be needed to complete the Orange County Camp Ground in Trabuco canyon is shown in a letter just received by Supervisor S. H. Finley from L. A. Barrett of San Francisco, assistant district forester. Finley believes that the money can be appropriated by the county, so that the camp grounds can be completed without delay. Barrett was a member of Co. L. Seventh Regt., when Finley was its "I enclose copy of a map which will soon be posted in automobile sales rooms and garages all over the state.

Shippman Badly Injured But Saved Her Baby. Holding her 18-months'-old baby tightly to her breast, Mrs. Rachel Shippman of Fullerton in Los Angeles Thursday saved the child's life as an automobile in which they were riding crashed into another at the corner of Main street and Slauson avenue. Five persons were injured in the crash, which occurred at 8 o'clock Thursday morning. All five were passengers in a machine driven by R. E. Shippman of Fullerton. The machine with which the Shippcar collided was driven by William Stice. Neither driver was injured. The passengers in the Shippman automobile were pinned under the wreckage. By-standers who rushed up to render assistance found Mrs. Shippman with her baby firmly clasped in her arms. Had the mother not protected the baby, it is considered certain it would have been killed. As it was, it sustained only slight bruises. Mrs. Shippman was bruised but will recover. Freda Shippman, 3 years old, sustained slight lacerations. Albert Lintz, 78, sustained a slight concussion of the brain and other injuries. He was the most seriously injured. His wife, Mrs. Minnie Lintz, 67, was hurt about the shoulders.

That the "auto vigilante" idea is to become popular throughout the southern part of the state in a wide-spread endeavor to stop the growing number of motor car accidents is indicated by the flood of inquiries being received by the Auto Club of Southern California from municipalities in regard to the organization of "vigilance committees." Public spirited citizens who band together for the purpose of curbing recklessness by their brother motorists offer the best present-time solution to the problem of deaths and injuries received in a wholesale manner by Southern California residents, say club officials. A committee of 200 automobile owners is being formed in Los Angeles by the police department and the Auto Club which will have full "patrol" powers and which can report traffic offenses to the police in such a way that action by the authorities will be taken at once. Any member of this committee seeing a motorist disobeying the law will report that motorist's license number to the police, and the police will do the rest—which, it is alleged, will be "good and plenty." The idea originated with the Automobile Club and Albert Lintz, 78, sustained a slight concussion of the brain and other injuries. He was the most seriously injured. His wife, Mrs. Minnie Lintz, 67, was hurt about the shoulders. was at once adopted by the Los Angeles police department. Like the "Vigilantes" of '49, the modern committee members will be fully "armed." Their ammunition will be the lead in their pencils and their artillery will be postcard blanks with spaces in which to write the nature of the traffic offense reported and the license number of the person committing the offense. These will be mailed to the police station from the mail box nearest the scene of the law infringement. This is the most novel method yet evolved for the suppression of auto accidents, according to local authorities, and that it will come into universal favor throughout Southern California is predicted by prominent automobile owners who for some time have been denouncing the present carnival of traffic accidents resulting in an unprecedented loss of life. Members of the committee of 200 will be selected from among the business men of Los Angeles.

The company holds a 20-year lease on 37 acres of ground in the Richfield district. Wells are now drilling on all sides of the lease. Among the companies drilling in the territory are the Standard, General Petroleum and Union. One well in the territory is now at a depth of 3000 feet, and making an excellent showing. According to Burke, the organization has not been launched as a stock selling scheme. The concern is capitalized for $500,000, divided into 500,000 shares. The stock is valued at $1.00 per share and it is the intention of the company to dispose of 100,000 shares to be used in development work. The company is organized for 54 years and the articles of incorporation cover all activities carried on by oil companies, such as leasing and buying land for drilling purposes, selling oil and gas and the laying of pipe lines for distribution of its products.
