MANY PAY TRIBUTE
TO MODJESKA'S MEMORY
Notable Gathering at the Forest of Arden Sunday
An annual pilgrimage that may become famous among Shakespearean students the world around, the presentation of Shakespearean plays, the establishment of a literary museum built upon the inspiration and personal belongings of the great tragedienne, Madame Helena Modjeska—
These are some of the possibilities that were under consideration by those who Sunday joined in a notable gathering beneath the oaks at the Forest of Arden, in Santiago canyon, for many years the home of Madame Modjeska.
The gathering was in memory of Madame Modjeska—and that her memory is held dear by those who knew her was evidenced as tears were shed as some of her lovable traits of character and lovable deeds were recalled by those who spoke to the assemblage.
"She was good and kind," said J. E. Pleasants, who was friend and neighbor of Madame Modjeska.
"What a wonderful tribute!" exclaimed Frederick Warde, greatest of living Shakespearean actors, now taking part of Junipero Serra in the Mission Play.
Thus, in simplicity and sincerity, recounting what she had meant to her art, to her native land, to America, to Orange county, and more particularly to those who knew her as a friend, Madame Modjeska was made to live again.
To those who had visited her at Arden, the visit seemed very real. It took little imagination to see her sitting beneath the oaks or beside one of the fountains or standing beside the well.
Among those who came to Arden was Anastazya Skowronska. Nasta she was called by Madame. She was Ma-

Orange county, and more particularly to those who knew her as a friend, Madame Modjeska was made to live again.
To those who had visited her at Arden, the visit seemed very real. It took little imagination to see her sitting beneath the oaks or beside one of the fountains or standing beside the well.
Among those who came to Arden was Anastazya Skowronska. Nasta she was called by Madame. She was Madame Modjeska's maid.
As the speakers touched tenderly upon the goodness and kindness of Madame Modjeska to those about her, tears streamed down the cheeks of Nasta.
In opening the speaking at the informal gathering, Miss Mary Workman, of Los Angeles, explained that the idea of having the pilgrimage came first from Mrs. Frank A. Gibson, of Los Angeles, who has been doing a great Americanization work in this state, in which work Miss Workman has also been engaged. In encouragement of the foreign-born and in bringing to American-born a better understanding of the foreign-born, it was decided to emphasize the achievements of men and women who were born in foreign countries.
"From Junipero Serra down to William Mulholland," said Miss Workman, "this state owes much to its foreign-born. Among those who greatly enriched California by her residence and achievements here was Madame Helena Modjeska."
The first speaker was Pleasants, who explained that he became acquainted with Madame Modjeska in 1776 and in 1888 he sold her the place she named the Forest of Arden.
"Count Bozenta and I lived here together like brothers," he said. "Madame Modjeska was a fine neighbor and friend—she was always good and kind."
The speaker said that at the request of Madame Modjeska's husband, Count Bozenta, he had, following the Madame's death, moved the seven-ton stone from three-fourths of a mile down the creek to where it rest among the oaks of the grounds the madame loved. Upon this boulder appears a bronze plate with a cross and the name, Helena Modjeska.
"Modjeska, the Woman." To this subject Joseph Scott, Los Angeles attorney, responded.

SUNSHINE IS GIVING COUNTY BEES "PEP"
The change in weather from cloudy to all-day sunshine has quickened the busy bee in his honey-making.
It has not been a good year in the mountains for honey-making. There was a good flow and a good production of orange blossom honey in the valley. In moving their bees to the mountains some of the apiarists hoped merely to get enough honey stored up in the stands to feed the bees through the coming winter.
Late rains bettered the blossom situation, so that the production of honey is stronger than was looked for a few weeks ago. County Bee Inspector J. E. Pleasants said that the apiarists in the mountains are taking out honey. He said that the last few days of sunshine had increased the flow.
The outlook for prices for honey is not at all encouraging. The apiarists are up against a light production and a low price prospect.
A year ago with a record year for production the apiarists were being paid 17 and 18 cents for their honey, and they had lots of orders for can deliveries. At the honey exchange in Los Angeles they were paid 12 cents a pound on delivery. This year the exchange is paying only 3 cents on delivery.

BOY SCOUTS PREPARING
A SUMMER CAMP
Ten Acre Site Near Arch Beach is Offered Them
The Boy Scouts of Orange county are going to have a summer camp.
Plans for cabins were being drawn by W. W. Kays, and Elmer Heldt, scout executive, was at Laguna looking over a proposed site for the camp.
Joe Skidmore has proffered a site on a tract in Aliso canyon near Arch Beach. If the site is selected Skidmore will give the organization a permanent grant for occupancy of the tract.
As a nucleus for a big camp, five cabins will be erected, and their construction probably will start within the next ten days. They will be built by volunteer labor with the Scouts themselves assisting in the work under the direction of competent men.
Later, as the activities of the Boy Scouts enlarge and the membership and finances increase, other buildings will be erected. It is now contemplated to arrange one of the cabins so that it may be used both as a "bunk house" and assembly hall.
A mess hall will be built at this time and next year, or later, an assembly hall will be added to the group of buildings.
Scout Executive Heldt will be assisted during the period of the summer outing, which will be some time in August, by Scout men outside the county, the boys being given instruction in nature study, astronomy, life saving and first aid.
Improvements proposed for this summer will cost approximately $1000.

JOHNSON STILL IN FORM
Attorney J. C. Burke, one of the many who "found" Walter Johnson, for many years pitching sensation of the American league, is happy again. Johnson has not been pitching much this year and several times when he did go to the mound it was to face a bunch of batters who had their batting eyes with them. Johnson lost a few games and immediately the "bugs" began to say that Johnson was losing his clearness.
When Walter Johnson is bumped it is more noticeable than when some other pitcher loses. This week, however, Burke was flashing an article for an eastern baseball paper on his friends in support of his claim that Walter Johnson still has a few more victories up his sleeve.
Among other things the clipping displayed by Burke said:
"Walter Johnson has shown in his late appearances that he is as good as ever for seven innings, and soon will be for nine or more. His battles against the Red Sox and Yankees were tough assignments, too, as Sam Jones and Carl Mays opposed him.
"Jones allowed only two infield hits, both by Rice, until the eighth inning. Johnson struck out four in the first two innings and yielded but one run until the eighth. Then both pitchers exploded and the first four to face Jones hit him safely. Russell rescued him, but three runs were scored. However, the visitors scored three in their half and won. But Johnson finished the game.
"Johnson did not explode in his bad lining, but received support that was bad in four instances though only one was an omeral error. It was a hot sketch, and many fans who saw this finish are still under treatment."
SUPERVISORS' PROCEEDINGS
Map on ordinance No. 180, of Dillon & Murphy was referred to the county.

DEMAND MORE WATER
Strong protests are being made by the inhabitants of the Swan sub-division north of the state highway at the north end of Lemon street; Anaheim, against Harry Lawrie, of Hollywood, because of alleged extortionate prices charged for water and the additional alleged failure to supply the water even when the steepest prices were charged for it.
The inhabitants of this tract, who are Mexicans, have purchased their homes of George P. Swan, of Hollywood, and are paying for them on the deferred plan.
They say they have not had enough water supplied them in the past for drinking purposes, much less for toilet uses.
Personal protests were made to the county officials by a committee composed of Mrs. Joaquin Alcalo, Mrs. Juana Perez and Mrs. Dominga Maciel.
The county officials declared that they have no jurisdiction over the matter, because the tract is not within the confines of any incorporated city.
Receipts were exhibited by the Mexicans indicating that they had paid as high as $2 a month a family for water, with 25 cents extra for each animal, exclusive of dogs and cats.
The Mexicans charged that even then water was forthcoming only in small quantities about two hours each day, one hour in the morning and the other in the afternoon, and then only in such tiny streamlets as to be insufficient for culinary purposes.
The result of the lack of water is causing unsanitary conditions that might easily become a monace to Anaheim, the protestants declare.

INCOME TAXPAYERS PROMPT
Orange county income taxpayers have "come cleaner" in the second installment of the tax than have those in any other county in the state, in the opinion of E. B. Burns, collector for Orange county, as expressed Thursday. The second installment became delinquent at mighnight Wednesday night. Burns Wednesday gave attention to a large number of taxpayers in his temporary office in the city council chambers at the city hall, Santa Ana.
Only two taxpayers in the county asked for an extension of time in which to meet their obligation to the government. One of the applicants was unable to make the payment because of sickness and the other had been disappointed in not receiving money which was due and with which it was proposed to pay the tax.
"Orange county income taxpayers have a fine, clean record," says Burns. "They have been prompt in their payments and their returns have been made out more completely and have caused less trouble in the Los Angeles office than those from any other county in the state. Interest manifested by the taxpayers in learning to make out their reports in the early period of the introduction of the tax collection method and the work of myself and assistants in acquainting taxpayers with the forms, are responsible for the fine showing from this county."
Burns stated that the delinquencies on the second installment are negligible.
REFUSE RAILROAD'S OFFER
Progress made in connection with water transportation of citrus fruits by the California Fruit Growers' exchange will not be sacrificed in order that fruit shippers may benefit by a 10 per cent reduction in rail rates.
Following a decision to this effect reached in Los Angeles by the didrectors of the California Citrus league, a committee composed of E. M. Lyons, Redlands; C. C. Teague, Santa Paula; J. A. Stewart, Redlands; E. G. Dezell, Los Angeles, and G. Harold Powell, Los Angeles, was prepared to conduct further negotiations with the railroads for a decrease in rates greater than the proffered ten per cent cut.
The rejected proposal by the railroads was made contingent upon the citrus industry boycotting water transportation and the industry agreeing to an increase in the minimum carload weight of citrus fruits.
Reductions to be asked by the committee are to be considered as a "temporary rate, subject to a further reduction at such times as the finances of the railroad lines that handle the citrus fruit traffic permit, and that any reduction be made effective immediately."
According to E. M. Lyon, president of the league, the minimum weight per car increases the gross earnings per car $100 while the proposed reduction in rates amounts to only $72 per car.

NEW HUNTING LICENSES
The new hunting licenses of 1921-22, due July 1st, arrived last week, and are being issued to fill advance orders of its numerous sales agents by the southern division of the California fish and game commission from its new Los Angeles office, 1119 Pacific Finance building.
This year, the licenses are being handled under a new accounting system, which necessitates prompt turning-in of the stubs of the license-books as fast as gold by the agents. These are now so widely scattered that licenses are easily procurable in every crossroads store, until no hunter or fisher has the slightest excuse to be afield without them.
The new law provides for the same ten per cent commission on sales of licenses that formerly was limited to county clerks; but the Automobile Club of Southern California, which supplies its 55,000 members through its 24 offices, has made a "round job" of this service by donating its 10 per cent to the "fish and game preservation fund" as a most welcome addition to a work wherein ten times the available income could be intelligently spent on the one line of importing Mexican game-birds alone.
This project, the fish and game commission is now planning by way of bringing up some of the splendid species of quail and pheasants "below the line" to within access of southern California hunting-licensees.
Preliminary negotiations already have been perfected with our federal government and are well advanced with the Mexican authorities, whose co-operation thus far has been cheerfully and cordially given. It is probable the first importation will be undertaken this fall at the proper season for best results.
The new "hunting licenses" expire June 30th, 1922. The first lawful hunting will require license August 1st, and it will be his own fault if his laxity permits him to be injured.
The new hunting licenses are printed attractively in khaki brown, with a pointer dog standing on the face, with the usual blanks for identification of the licensee. On the rear is printed the now well-known "American Sportsman's Creed," than which, probably no better advice could be given the hunter, both as regards the common usages of gentlemen, and as concerns the general welfare of the game.

Preliminary negotiations already have been perfected with our federal government and are well advanced with the Mexican authorities, whose co-operation thus far has been cheerfully and cordially given. It is probable the first importation will be undertaken this fall at the proper season for best results.
The new "hunting licenses" expire June 30th, 1922. The First lawful hunting will require license August 1st, when bucks of "forked-horns or larger" again become legal game in the upcoast counties of "fish and game district three," including Kern county west of the Ridge road, or Tejon highway, as officially known.
All hunting under the new game laws will become illegal on Jan. 15th, next. Thus the new licenses will cover the entire hunting privilege open to law-abiding sportsmen. Rabbit hunters will again have to show license after July 29th, when new laws go into effect all over the state as previously announced by the fish and game board.
The state conservation authorities succeeded in eliminating the unfortunate and expensive error that exposed breeding quail and doves to so much "soonering" during the last two summers by allowing unrestricted rabbit hunting without even license.
Patrol-records of the fish and game commission prove that their opposition to 1 legislative "letting-down of the bars" on rabbits two years ago because of exposing quail and doves was entirely well-founded. The new laws safeguard the rights of ranchers even better than the old, under which landowners were overrun, it being no trespass under the game laws to hunt rabbits. The new provision requires that the land owner delegate in writing, his permission to hunt rabbits, and it can only be given when they are actually damaging crops, which would not apply to "wild" or uncultivated ranches where no damage could be done.
Many land owners have complained to the fish and game commission that it was an open question whether rabbits, or unrestricted rabbit-hunting damaged them most, and all agreed that it was a serious menace to the game-birds, which most large landed proprietors are anxious to see properly protected. The new laws put the matter into the hands of the ranchman.
