OUT WITH THE OLD; IN WITH THE NEW CITY COUNCIL CANVASS ELECTION RETURNS, AND NEW BOARD IS INSTALLED Trustee Stark Honored With Presidency—Mayor Dwyer Upon Vacating Chair Thanks Colleagues for Cooperation and Support Past Two Years The board of trustees met Monday evening and canvassed the election returns, finding the results as semi-officially announced. There was nothing more that the board could do legally and they adjourned sine die. Messrs. Gates, Mann and Stark, the new trustees, took the oath of office and were inducted into office. The election of a president of the board was next in order. Trustee Backs nominated Trustee Stark. Trustee The Pratt porus dam is the invention of A. A. Pratt, water conservation engineer and expert and consists of stout posts, heavy wire netting, and boulders. These latter, together with flood debris, are carried into the netting screens by the flood waters of the streams in which they are placed, forming a dam which, though porus serves to check much of the flow and so divert it as to be of use for domestic and irrigation purposes. It is claimed that the Pratt dam stands the shock of flood water in a remarkable manner, and that it seems to be the most practicable method yet devised of checking flood water and diverting it according to scientific design. The members of the party view the dam which already is in place in the canyon-mouth, and were favorably impressed with the results. The primary purpose of the trip of inspection taken was to secure opinions from the water company men and city officials present as to a policy of continuance of the flood water conservation work. It is proposed that at least $10,000 be contributed by water conservation association members this year to carry on the work. After lunch had been eaten by the hikers at the canyon headquarters, NEW OFFICE INSTALLED THE E DOC BARNES TAKE AS CHIEF OF THE THE COMING Banquet Given to 35 Close of the Ceremonial Assists in Entertaining Work Soon to Begin Anaheim Lodge, No. hood Protective Order ed new officers at Wedmeeting, District Depoalted Ruler J.

There was nothing more that the board could do legally and they adjourned sine die. Messrs. Gates, Mann and Stark, the new trustees, took the oath of office and were inducted into office. The election of a president of the board was next in order. Trustee Backs nominated Trustee Stark. Trustee Mann seconded the nomination, and there being no further nominations Trustee Stark was elected and took the chair. Mayor Stark thanked the board for the honor conferred upon him and he assured the council he would do all in his power to promote the best interests of the city. Upon retiring from the chair Mayor Dwyer heartily thanked his colleagues for their cooperation and support during his incumbency the past two years. Mayor Dwyer has given a good account of his stewardship. He will retire to private life and give his attention to his business affairs: The new board will meet tonight for their first regular session. Whether there will be any changes in the personnel of city officials is not now known. The new board have several important matters up before them, and no doubt will conduct the affairs of the city with a view to giving the greatest good to the greatest number. WATER MEN INSPECT CHECK DAM SYSTEM Plan to Extend Conservation of Santa Ana River Water That the water conservation association of Riverside and Orange counties will continue its policy of water conservation on the debris cone at the mouth of Santa Ana canyon, in the San Bernardino mountains, is practically assured. The sentiment in favor of supporting the work is already begun was unanimous among the thirty-six men who last week made an inspection trip to the Pratt porous dam in the canyon mouth. The water association is composed of men representing the water companies of Riverside and Orange counties, and officials of the Santa Ana river valley. Those making the inspect-trip were guests of Francis Cuttle, president of the Riverside Water com-pressed with the results. The primary purpose of the trip of inspection taken was to secure opinions from the water company men and city officials present as to a policy of continuance of the flood water conservation work. It is proposed that at least $10,000 be contributed by water conservation association members this year to carry on the work. After lunch had been eaten by the hikers at the canyon headquarters, Francis Cuttle spoke to the party, telling briefly of the work which already has been done and asking for an expression of opinion from all present. Replying, the men interested evidenced their hearty approval of a policy of continuing the work. There was also a decided sentiment in favor of future broadening of its scope. President H. H. Hale of the Anaheim Water company addressed the party, telling of his observations on a recent trip through the mountain and canyon district affected by the disastrous forest fires of last fall near Los Angeles. In Mr. Hale's opinion the use of check dams in the canyons is to be commended as a highly effective water conservation measure. Mr. Hale stated that he does not believe the installation of check dams injures users of water in the lower reaches of the valleys affected. Following Mr. Hale's talk, A. A. Pratt, inventor of the porus dam, gave a history of his investigations and experiments which led to the present arrangement, telling of flood water diversion in Laurel canyon, near Hollywood, and in other districts. Superintendent Wilson of the Riverside Water company, also spoke briefly, taking for his subject the water conservation work as at present installed in the Santa Ana canyon debris cone. Those making the trip included: Fracis Cuttle, W. G. Fraser, Robert Irving, Frank Chase, E. L. Williamson, Alfred Cribben, Arthur Holden, E. L. Koethen, D. P. Chapman, J. Harrison Wright, Frank Tetley, John L. Bishop, John E. Wherrel and H. O. Reed. Mayor Horace Porter, Councilman Winship, and Commissioners Doyle and Tetley represented the city of Riverside. The Orange county representatives were from two water companies. The Anaheim Union Water company was represented by H. H. Hale, president; J. J. Dwyer, J. Charles Thamer, E. E. Beazley, A. G.

TO DRILL IN PLAN Drilling for oil, which to underlie this entire gin in the town of Plain The water association is composed of men representing the water companies of Riverside and Orange counties, and officials of the Santa Ana river valley. Those making the inspect-trip were guests of Francis Cuttle, president of the Riverside Water company. Under control of the association are 3300 acres of land near the mouth of Santa Ana canyon. A total of $25,000 already has been expended by the association in the water conservation, and the results, it is believed, fully justify a policy of future expansion of the work. In the opinion of expert water conservationists Santa Ana flood water at its crest could be diverted to the amount of 160 inches per acre, and this moisture spread over the debris cone and sunk so as to raise the level of the water in the wells and underground channels appreciably. "Even if only 10 inches of water per acre can now be sunk," remarked Mr. Cuttle in his talk to the group of men in the canyon mouth, "this will mean the creation of wealth to the amount of $1500 per inch of water used per acre in the orange lands throughout the valley, figuring a total diversion and spread of 30,000 inches, and an irrigation of five acres per inch." The Pratt porous dam which was inspected represents an expenditure of $1500, Mr. Cuttle stated. It is proposed to build more of these dams, together with others of loose rocks in the draws and arroyos of the debris cone. It is believed that by this method maximum diversion and spread of flood water can be obtained. The Orange county representatives were from two water companies. The Anaheim Union Water company was represented by H. H. Hale, president; J. J. Dwyer, J. Charles Thamer, E. E. Beazley, A. G. Miller, B. A. Annin and William Wallop, the latter is superintendent of the company. The Santa Ana Valley Irrigation company was represented by A. N. Saxton, president; George Delker, Hugh Plumb, Albert Findlater, Walter Greenleaf and Superintendent Alex Ralph. The Riverside Water company, Gage Canal company, Riverside-Highland Water company, East Riverside Water company, were concerns of Riverside represented in the party. Cunning, the reformed Spiritualist, who is giving lectures exposing the tricks of mediums and rediculing the believers in the ouija board, gave exhibitions at high school auditorium Tuesday and Wednesday nights. What's the use? Those who believe in ghosts will continue to do so after all the cards of the tricksters have been laid face up on the table, and those who do not believe in ghosts, fairies, hobgoblins, elfs and other materialized visitors from the nether world, have no need of further education along that line. Huntington Beach is already making preparations for the county fair which will be held in that city October 7, 8 and 9. All sections of the county will make exhibits and the fair is expected to be far ahead of last year's show. J. W. Duckworth and wife were visiting in Los Angeles Monday.

Marcus Andrade, who has a statewide reputation when it comes to preparing a feed for a social entertainment of this kind, supervised the affair and was ably assisted by his son Raymond. George Lazzaroni was up bright and early and had a bed of hot coals ready to receive the choice cuts of meat which Ray had provided in abundance. At the appointed hour when the guests were summoned to gather around the festive board, Chef Andrade gave the signal to line up for the feast. A. W. Wood headed the list, with plate, knife and fork in hand, and laid down an order for a medium well. "Tex' Choate held out his plate, but had no use for knives and forks, and wanted his portion well done." "Obe" Baxter was not so particular and having a good appetite, cared only for a generous supply with return privileges. Fred Minard having had a strenuous day run.

McFadden was elected delegate to the grand lodge convention. More than 350 Elks were present and sat down to the banquet which was served at the close of the ceremonies, and also enjoyed an excellent entertainment which had been provided for them. The Elks band, a new musical organization which has not yet made its appearance in public, handled the musical part of the program in a highly satisfactory manner. The Elks lodge of Anaheim was instituted three years ago with a charter membership of 100. There are more than 400 names now on its membership roll, and new ones are being added almost every meeting night. The lodge is now preparing to build a splendid temple at a cost of $150,000, the corner stone of which was laid some months ago by the chief of all the Elks, Grand Exalted Ruler Frank L. Rain of Fairbury, Nebraska. Building such a beautiful and costly temple is an achievement never before undertaken by a lodge yet in its infancy, Mr. Rain declared in his dedicatory address, and indicates the high character of the men who belong to the lodge. Work on the new structure will begin in a short time. The past exalted rulers of the lodge are H. G. Ames, H. P. Noll and T. L. McFadden.

MEETING OF ORANGE COUNTY HISTORICAL SOCIETY There will be a meeting of the members of the Orange County Historical association on Monday, April 26, 1920, at the Santa Ana public library building, corner of Fifth and Sycamore streets, Santa Ana, California. A special invitation is given to all persons interested in the early history of Orange county to be present and help in making this society a valuable agency in collecting historical material pertaining to Southern California and especially to Orange county. C. D. Ball is the president and S. M. Davis is the secretary both of San Francisco Board, Chef Andrade gave the signal to line up for the feast. A. W. Wood headed the list, with plate, knife and fork in hand, and laid down an order for a medium well. "Tex" Choate held out his plate, but had no use for knives and forks, and wanted his portion well done. "Obe" Baxter was not so particular and having a good appetite, cared only for a generous supply with return privileges. Fred Minyard having had a strenuous day running down speed maniacs, desired his allotment rare and juicy and plenty of the trimmings. Desk Sergeant Ingles could not figure out why his predecessors in line were so finical and was content with a generous proportion of the T-bones, but would not be averse to receiving a second helping if that was not against the rules. "Naz," the mechanic, who also at times acts in the capacity of enrolling clerk, told the chef to close his eyes and hand over the first cut encountered and be prepared for a second attack. "Dick" Fischle came in just in time for a generous supply of the toothsome dishes, but was warned to be more punctual in future if he desire to be listed among those present. After all had been seated and were doing full justice to the occasion, Chef Andrade gave the assembled guests a fatherly once over to see that all were taken care of and he then joined the crowd with a firm grasp upon a generous sized T-bone. At the conclusion of the barbecue "500" was indulged in and all voted Ray to be a royal entertainer, and wishing him many happy returns of the day.

L. Rideout, editor of the Placentia Courter, and which lease he expects to close within a few days. Approximately thirty acres are already included in the lease, and eight to ten drilling sites are provided. As soon as Rideout completes the pool, he will turn the lease over to the Republic Petroleum company, of which A. S. Bradford of Placentia, is president, which will conduct the development work. The lease is a very fair one, it is held, more favorable than most to the property owner, as it provides for full occupation damages to every person whose property is used by the lessee. The Republic has approved of this provision as being only fair, under the circumstances, and the fact that Mr. Bradford is at the head of the company will assure the people of Placentia of a fair and square deal. The lease provides for a year in which to begin work, with the privilege to begin work, with the privilege of a years extension, but requires work to begin within ninety days, should a well be brought in on the property adjoining the town. Lawrence, the three-months' old son of Mr. and Mrs. Glenn DeLapp died Sunday morning at their home on East Chartres street of whooping association on Monday, April 26, 1920, at the Santa Ana public library building, corner of Fifth and Sycamore streets, Santa Ana, California.

His address is said to be an extremely entertaining one, as he will tell something about the Mexican situation not generally known. Jesus Morales, an aged resident of Richfield, disappeared last week from his home and the sheriffs officers have been searching for him at the behest of friends. He was 84 years of age and weak minded. cough. Mr. and Mrs. S. J. DeLapp of Belleflower, parents of Mr. DeLapp, while motoring to Anaheim in response to a message notifying them of the death of their grandson, collided on the county road with another car and both were brought to their son's home considerably injured. Their injuries consisted of cuts and bruises, but were not serious. A. L. Doddickson of Orange, who was driving the car which collided with them, and his brother, who was riding with him, received some injuries, but not of a serious nature. Both cars were badly damaged.

BEAT THE FOOD GAME Plant a garden of vegetables and fruits and make your homestead more self-supporting. PERTINENT DEDUCTIONS DRAWN FROM CONTEST LIBERTY PARK PROPONENTS FAIL TO ANNEX ENOUGH VOTES TO LAND IN ELECTION Many Citizens Classed As Stay-at Homes, While an Alarming Number Neglected to Register—One Trustee Quoted as Saying He Would Give Park Bonds One More Chance Now that the election is over and the smoke of battle has blown away some pertinent deductions may be drawn from the aftermath that are of interest, since a bond issue for a centrally located park is upon the tapis. Four candidates for trustee, who had avowed convictions favoring the location site in question were defeated in the recent election, while another, who had openly announced his opposition to the park site, received quite a BEAT THE FOOD GAME Plant a garden of vegetables and fruits and make your homestead more nearly self supporting. Food costs cannot be expected to appreciably diminish this year. There is a scarcity of workmen on farms, and those who do remain want more money; hence the farmer must have a large return for his products. The householder who has a few rows of potatoes, corn, beans or other root or leaf vegetables started and doing well is not worried about what the potato kings or the rice barons are going to do next. He knows that a few months at the most he will be enjoying home-raised vegetables—and they are always the best kind. He knows that the grocery bill will then begin to grow less burdensome. The cost of planting a garden is about the only thing in food production which has not gone sky high. The outlay for seed does not amount to much and the labor of the members of the family does not come at a higher price than in years gone by. There is but one period during the year when vegetables will make a better start and have a better chance of coming to successful maturity than other seasons. That period is the last two weeks in April and the first week or so in May—all other conditions, such as moisture and sunlight, being equal. The present time, then (is the best time to start a garden). The average time of maturity for garden vegetables is three and one-half months. Beets, lettuce, tomaties, turnips, beans, sweet corn, cucumbers and melons planted now will mature in late July and August. Radishes will be ready for the table in from four to six weeks. Onion sets will produce green onions in about the same time. It is a pleasure to watch the plants grow, and to note the development of the vegetables when they begin to set. The garden ought to be prepared by now, but "better late than never," is a good motto for the gardener in this all-year-round growing region. Pull up Now that the election is over and the smoke of battle has blown away some pertinent deductions may be drawn from the aftermath that are of interest, since a bond issue for a centrally located park is upon the tapis. Four candidates for trustee, who had avowed convictions favoring the location site in question were defeated in the recent election, while another, who had openly announced his opposition to the park site, received quite a handy number of votes ahead of each of the four park proponents, although he failed to land in a trustee chair. One of the successful candidates for trustee, who has the reputation of being fair, is quoted as saying he would stand for one more election for park bonds, but no more. Another interesting phase of the election is the large number of voters who failed to exercise their franchise and did not come out to vote. Only 927 of a total of 1,488 registrations voted. And a still more alarming angle of the situation is the fact that only 1,488 registered out of a total voting population of about 2,500. In this connection it is said many citizens, especially women, did not register because they have a distaste for serving upon jurles, but whether this would exempt them is not now quite clear. However, there must be some motive for such a large percentage of citizens to sidestep the registration clerks. It is known that a number of people who were anxious to see a certain man successful at the municipal election, failed to register, and were thus debarred from voting for him. According to plans launched by the trustees a sewer bond election will no doubt soon be called, together with the park proposition, incurring an indebtedness of an estimated amount of $360,000. This is a most important step for the city to take and it should receive serious attention of every citizen and property owner. The erection of a new city hall has many staunch exponents, a number of whom say they will not stand for a park until the hall is taken care of. There is no use talking about these two questions any more unless there can be arranged a get-together movement, and many hombres are trying to find out who will lead them out of the darkness. SUNDAY SCHOOLS MEET and melons planted now will mature in late July and August. Radishes will be ready for the table in from four to six weeks. Onion sets will produce green onions in about the same time. It is a pleasure to watch the plants grow, and to note the development of the vegetables when they begin to set. The garden ought to be prepared by now, but "better late than never." is a good motto for the gardener in this all-year-round growing region. Pull up the weeds in the back yard or on that vacant lot, while the ground is still moist. Bury the weeds under with every turn of the spade. Work the ground before it is dry. Then plant in straight rows that will not have too much of a slope, so that the irrigating water will run in a slow stream. Do not plan to sprinkle the garden. This is a wasteful method and not the best for California. Keep the vegetables cultivated and California climate will do wonders with them. Keep in touch with the articles on gardening which are published frequently and learn how to combat the enemies of garden products, and how best to produce a large crop of succulent vegetables. Declaring that facial neuralgia was caused by pressure of bones in the neck region upon nerves regulating the blood supply to the face, Dr. E. M. Downing of York, Pa., who addressed a meeting last evening of the Orange County Osteopathic society, stated that "in every case of facial neuralgia there is an interference with nerves leading from the cervical spine, and that his new method of adjusting the spine would remove the cause in practically every instance. Dr. Downing examined many cases, assisted by members of the local profession. Dr. Downing, who is one of the officers of the Osteopathic Research institute, spoke on "Enlarged Cervical Glands and Their Relation to Tuberculosis."
