BIG VALENCIA CROP FOR NEXT SEASON Valla Says It Will Be 10 Per Cent Larger Than This Year Orange county's Valencia crop next year will be 10 per cent greater than that of the present season, which in itself is the heaviest in point of production in the history of the industry, L. B. Valla, district freight and passenger agent for the Southern Pacific, declared. Valla's forecast was based on reports received from the managers of the various citrus packing houses throughout the country—men who are in direct touch with citrus conditions. The production during the coming season will be heavier because of additional Valencia acreage coming into bearing, Valla said. Valla makes personal periodic survey in the county, interviewing packing house officials. "When the present season closes," Valla stated, "shipments from my district, which includes the Whittler section, will be found to be 20 per cent higher than last year. The crop was heavy and many new orchards produced fruit for the first time in marketable quantities." At the same time Valla stated that the railroads were in better condition this fall than for the past four years to give swift transportation service to Pacific coast growers. This, he said, would prove particularly gratifying to the walnut men, whose aim is to get their product on the eastern markets in ample time for the Christmas trade. The regular movement of walnuts from Valla's district will begin about October 1. Sugar shipments from Orange county are heavy, Valla said. Up to this time, he stated, very little sugar has been stored in the warehouses praeced. in arousing the public of the state to the situation and to active support of the government to bring about legislation that would remedy the evils in the present system complained of. He spoke with special reference to those confined in Folsom and San Quentin, asserting that they were not employed, and that when they left the institutions their qualifications for taking up life anew were not improved over what they were when they entered the prisons. The point to his address was that in serving time under the present regulations the convicted man is getting something for nothing, the very thing that caused his incarceration. He asserted that the great concern with the average prisoner is not the period of his confinement, but what he can do or will be fitted to do when he has paid the penalty for this crime. He declared that it is costing the taxpayers of this state $400 per year per prisoner confined in the two state penal institutions, and that these men are not producing anything to compensate for this. He referred to the prison at Stillwell, Minn., operated under the policy he would have adopted in California, asserting that the institution is not only self-supporting, but that prisoners are being taught useful occupations—occupations that make it possible for them to become useful citizens when they quit the institution at the end of their terms. "It isn't the man incarcerated who pays the price of his violation of law—it is his family," declared the speaker. He asserted that when sentence is passed it is not upon the man alone, but upon his wife and children, who have to do battle with the world for a living while their bread winner is well found and is "getting something for nothing." He believes the prisoner should be placed at work on regular hours and at regular pay.

This, he said, would prove particularly gratifying to the walnut men, whose aim is to get their product on the eastern markets in ample time for the Christmas trade. The regular movement of walnuts from Valla's district will begin about October 1. Sugar shipments from Orange county are heavy, Valla said. Up to this time, he stated, very little sugar has been stored in the warehouses, practically all the product moving from the factories as soon as manufactured. Valla gave as his reason for the prompt shipments the apparent fact that the supply in the east is low. SUPERVISORS' PROCEEDINGS It was ordered that the board receive map tract No. 179, and same was submitted to the city engineer of Huntington Beach. The chairman was authorized to approve the bond on map tract No. 191, and same was accepted as official plotting of said tract. The county auditor was directed to cancel warrant No. 2342, drawn on the harbor fund for $698.81, in favor of Leeds and Barnard, said warrant being duplicate charge. It was ordered that the board receive map tract 183, and same was submitted to the city engineer of Newport Beach. No bids being received for the $20,000.00 issue of 6 per cent bonds of the Bay City school district bonds, the matter was continued to September 27th, 1921, at 11 a.m. The county auditor was directed to transfer $1000 from the county general fund to the special fund for the district attorney. The hearing on the petition of C. W. Morris et al to vacate and abandon certain public street called South Front street, in the third road district, was continued to September 27th, 1921, at 10 a.m. The county auditor was directed to draw a warrant for $100 on the advertising fund in favor of Arnold Kruckman, secretary, for dues in league of the southwest. Resolution was addopted ordering that the county garage department be created and the employees thereof be paid by warrant on the salary fund, issued by the auditor at the same time and in the same manner as other county officers are paid. Supt. county ga- "It isn't the man incarcerated who pays the price of his violation of law—it is his family," declared the speaker. He asserted that when sentence is passed it is not upon the man alone, but upon his wife and children, who have to do battle with the world for a living while their bread winner is well found and is "getting something for nothing." He believes the prisoner should be placed at work on regular hours and at regular pay, in order that he may support his dependents. He also touched briefly on the system of paroling prisoners, asserting that statistics show that 85 per cent of the men paroleled in California have made good. NEW RAILROAD PROJECT That the recently announced plan of the Union Pacific railroad to build an extension of their system into Orange county may materialize shortly was indicated following the arrival in Los Angeles of Carl R. Gray, president of the system, and E. E. Calvin, vice-president. Mr. Gray and Mr. Calvin held a conference with members of the board of directors of the Los Angeles and Salt Lake railroad. A number of contemplated plans for improvements in this territory were reviewed and formal approval of deeds, coding certain lands in the harbor district to the city for development and widening of the main channel, was made. Regarding the plan for constructing a line into Orange county to Santa Ana Mr. Gray said the matter was now under consideration by officers of the company. He declined to make public any details of the plan at this time and also refused to give any probable date as to when the actual work in constructing the line might be started. Company officials have already been advised of the attitude of growers and other interested shippers located along the proposed extension who are anxious to learn as soon as possible when the line will be built, since it has been reported that tentative plans for packing houses along the line are already made. From Mr. Gray's attitude when he stated the matter was under consideration, it would be construed that the officials are awaiting the final working plans of engineers, mapping the proposed route, before announcing the The county auditor was directed to draw a warrant for $100 on the advertising fund in favor of Arnold Kruckman, secretary, for dues in league of the southwest. Resolution was adopted ordering that the county garage department be created and the employees thereof be paid by warrant on the salary fund, issued by the auditor at the same time and in the same manner as other county officers are paid. Supt. county garage, salary $175; Asst. Supt., $125. O. M. Sommerville is appointed superintendent and S. J. Ward assistant superintendent. Notice of final hearing in road improvement district No. 5, was set for October 4, 1921, at 10 a.m. Plans and specifications for the construction of the county jail as presented by Parkinson & Parkinson, architects, were accepted, and notice calling for bids on November 1, 1921, at 11 a.m., was ordered published in the Santa Ana Daily Evening Register. MAKING PRISONERS PAY The Santa Ana Klwanis club is squarely back of Charles Brandon Booth in his campaign to secure legislation at the coming session of the state legislature that will provide compensation for all prisoners serving time in the state prisons. In his address before the club Booth discussed various features of the present system of handling state prisoners that he considered unjust to the taxpayers, the prisoners and the families and dependents of the convicts. Following the address, the Klwanis club, by a rising vote, and with but one dissenting vote, approved Booth's proposed campaign. Booth declared he has started upon a campaign that he hoped would result in the proposed extension who are anxious to learn as soon as possible when the line will be built, since it has been reported that tentative plans for packing houses along the line are already made. From Mr. Gray's attitude when he stated the matter was under consideration, it would be construed that the officials are awaiting the final working plans of engineers, mapping the proposed route, before announcing the plan for carrying out the extension, and there is no doubt but that the road will be built soon. Regarding any proposed improvements in the harbor, Mr. Gray stated there was nothing now under consideration. He said, however, there may be small improvements from time to time along their right-of-way in the district, but nothing of importance. Both Mr. Gray and Mr. Calvin inspected the site of the new freight station to be built at Los Angeles shortly and also made a trip to Long Beach to look over the situation regarding their freight terminal there. As to the latter situation, Mr. Gray said nothing could be announced at this time. CLEANING IT UP In a neighbor's house, not long since, little George for the first time saw a face vibrator. At home, shortly afterward, the youngster said: "Mrs. Umson's face must get awful dirty, mother." "Why do you think that "the mother asked." "Because," replied Georgie, "while I was there I saw her trying to fix it up with a vacuum cleaner."—Youngs-town Telegram. Miss Harriet Dowling has gone to Pasadena to visit friends. ANAHEIM GAZETTE FEDERAL ROAD AID On June 30, 1921, the close of the fifth fiscal year since the passage of the federal aid road act, which is administered by the bureau of public roads, United States department of agriculture, the states and federal government had completed 7469 miles of road, and 17,977 miles were under construction. Including the work completed on projects still under construction, the states have completed war kwhich entitles them to draw on the federal treasury for $118,915,515. There is also a balance allotted but not yet earned on projects now under construction amounting to $66,375,636. Of the two appropriations which have been made for federal aid there is now only $18,793,544 remaining unobligated. Twelve of the States have obligated their entire allotment and several others have only a small amount to their credit. During the last fiscal year the total of completed projects jumped from 1,677 to 7469 miles, and the projects under construction increased from 14,940 to 17,977 miles. The money earned by completion of work has grown from $40,097,881 a year ago to 118,915,515 at the end of this fiscal year. The amount earned during the year was $78,817,634, or nearly twice as much as the amount earned during the four years preceding. The new projects submitted during the year bring the total amount of federal aid obligated up to $247,956,456, as compared with $109,830,366, which was the amount obligated on June 30, 1920. At this rate it is expected that the small balance of $18,000,000 still unobligated will be taken up in a very short time. The month of June was a record month in every way. The mileage of completed projects increased by more than 1200 miles, more than twice the SAVE STATE'S WILD LIFE Eloquent appeals for the preservation of the wild life of San Diego county are uttered by G. B. Daruvary and Ed H. Davis, and they should not go unheeded. These citizens ask especially that the region of Palomar mountain be made into a reservation within which the fauna and flora indigenous to this section of the state may be saved from utter extinction. The petition is not unreasonable. It does not deprive the hunter of his sport; he is rapidly doing that for himself. There is still a remnant of the flocks and herds one numerous in this county, and the sportsman is at liberty to exterminate it. It is desired only that Palomar be kept for the recreation of the vast majority who do not find pleasure in the destruction of animal life, or the devastation of forests and fields rich with unique plant life. Other communities are doing this—the Yellowstone, Yosemite, Monterey county, Santa Cruz county and other sections of the Pacific coast and California are reserved either by the nation or the state, but San Diego is still an open range. In less than 10 years there will not be a vestige of wild life within a hundred miles of this city. Even the wild birds of the coast are frightened away because we refuse to make a water park reserve of Mission bay. If stringent precautions had not been taken the Torrey pine park in the northern part of the city would have been denuded or destroyed by fires of the campers—and the only group of this species of Miocene plant life in the world would have disappeared. The request is a business proposition. When the wild life of San Diego is gone that much attraction will be lost and thousands will prefer the places where this lure of forest and mountain is still preserved. This monopoly should not be consigned to the hunters; some of it should be awarded. SUMMONS In the Superior Court of the County of Orange, State of California.

MOTORING PESTS Motoring "pests," characterized as cootles, hyenas, snakes, foxes and hogs, who make life unbearable for the average auto owner have been listed by the Automobile Club of Southern California.

There is the "open road pest" who scoots in front of you with his little car and then slows down to a very slow pace so that you have to pass him. Then he spurs in front of you again and the performance has to be repeated. He gets much amusement out of this procedure, and is called the "fox." If you do this sort of thing, be merciful and stop it, asks the club. The "hyena" is the pest who drives fat into a mud-puddle and splashes its contents all over any pedestrians who happen to be standing near, then laughs over his shoulder as he drives away.
