WIDENING HIGHWAY NORTH OF FULLERTON Bids Opened for Work by State Highway Commission. That widening and strengthening of the state highway from the north city limits of Fullerton north and west to the Orange county line is contemplated by the state highway commission as an immediate improvement, was disclosed with announcement that the commission at Sacramento had opened bids for the construction work. Six bids for the work were submitted and all were taken under advisement. The bidders and amounts were as follows: Riley and Peterson, San Diego, $64,494; B. R. Ford, Santa Ana, $56,145; George R. Curtis, Los Angeles, $64,920; Wells and Bressler, Santa Ana, $67,652; J. G. Beckjord, Los Angeles, $81,508; Francisco and Ellington, Bishop, $97,691. The state is to furnish all material except the rock and sand used in surfacing work. The cost of the material as estimated by the commission engineer is $64,166. This, with the low bid submitted, would make a total cost of widening and strengthening the 4.8 miles between the two points $130,311, or approximately $30 000 a mile. The improvement is to consist of 8-inch concrete shoulders 2 1-2 feet wide, with the old roadbed of 18 feet between the two shoulders filled in with 2 1-2 inch asphaltic surface, for a distance of two miles, starting at the "Pickering corner," which is at the most northern turn on the state highway north of the main highway east and West through La Habra. This class of improvement will continue to the county line. The distance of two and one-eighth miles between the Fullerton city limits and the corner will be improved with 8-inch shoulders of the same width as the other, with four inches of PEPPERS MAKE TASTY DISHES WITH TOMATO AND ONION Both green and red sweet peppers add zest and pungency to other dishes. It is worth while to put some up for winter use, either in pickle combinations or alone. Chutneys, chile sauces, and other relishes are better for the addition of peppers. Fresh sliced sweet peppers and canned pimientoes flavor as well as garnish salads, whether vegetable, fruit, cheese or meat. The United States department of agriculture recommends the following recipes in which peppers are used: Stuffed Baked Peppers— 1 cup minced cold ham, chopped bacon or cold chicken. 1 tablespoon chopped parsley. 1 cup toasted bread crumbs or cooked rice. 1 tablespoon chopped onion. 1-8 teaspoon pepper. 1 cup tomatoes cut in cubes. Salt to taste. Other cold meats may be ground, seasoned, and mixed with an equal quantity of bread crumbs or cooked rice, moistened with a slightly beaten egg, cream, or tomato, and substituted for either of the fillings. Take six whole medium-sized fresh green peppers or canned whole pimentos. If fresh peppers are used, slice a round off the top, remove seeds, and save the top to replace. Soak in cold water (2 tablespoons salt to one quart water) for half an hour; rinse in clear, cold water. Drain, press in the filling, replace the top, and fasten it in place with wooden toothpicks. Put the stuffed peppers in a baking pan, pouring around them enough water to cover the bottom of the pan one-half inch. Bake in a medium hot oven for 20 to 30 minutes. When canned pimentos are used, remove from cans, discard liquor, and allow the pimentos four to six hours compartmentalable, for the leftover more.

In the early part of our ownership of Alaska the natives were chiefly dependents upon the whale, walrus and seal for their animal food, but with their rapid destruction by the white man the supply of animal food, an absolute essential in that climate, was greatly reduced, and the existence of the natives thus threatened. This condition was brought to the attention of the public in the United States in the early nineties by Dr. Sheldon Jackson, who had been sent to Alaska by the government to establish schools among the natives, and he conceived the idea of introducing the reindeer, then unknown in Alaska, but proving extremely useful in Siberia and Lapland. Personal appeals by Dr. Jackson to the public in the United States resulted in contributions of $2146, and sixteen head of reindeer from Siberia were landed in Alaska in 1891, followed by about two hundred and fifty in later shipments during the year. Congress than made several small contributions, and by 1900 the total number and save the top to replace. Soak in cold water (2 tablespoons salt to one quart water) for half an hour; rinse in clear, cold water. Drain, press in the filling, replace the top, and fasten it in place with wooden toothpicks. Put the stuffed peppers in a baking pan, pouring around them enough water to cover the bottom of the pan one-half inch. Bake in a medium hot oven for 20 to 30 minutes. When canned pimentos are used, remove from cans, discard liquor, and allow the pimentos to stand in a bowl for about 15 minutes to aerate before using, thus giving them a better flavor. Stuff as for green peppers and bake for 10 to 15 minutes. Instead of actually stuffing the peppers some cooks like to chop them up and mix them with the stuffing in a baking dish which is then sprinkled with crumbs and browned in the oven. This dish is tasty and unusual even when the meat is omitted. Individual earthenware ramekins may be filled with the mixture in the same way. Creole Chicken or Jambolaya— 1 medium-sized fowl. 2 cups tomato. 1 cup okra. 1-4 cup chopped onion. 1-2 cup rice. 1 teaspoon salt. 1 cup boiling water. 1 tablespoon fat. Dress the fowl and cut into joints. Melt the fat, add onion and pepper. Cook for a few minutes to develop flavor. Then add salt, tomato and okra, and simmer for 10 minutes. Place layers of the chicken, vegetable mixture, and rice in cooking vessel until all is used. Pour over this 1 cup boiling water. Simmer for one-half hour and put in fireless cooker for three hours without the hot disk or two hours with it. Additional seasoning of ham or bacon, parsley and bay leaf may be used. Spanish Soup— 4 tablespoons butter. 4 tablespoons green pepper (chopped). 4 tablespoons red pepper (chopped). 1-2 medium-sized onion (chopped). 1-4 pound cooked macaroni. 4 tablespoons flour. 5 pints stock. 1 quart tomatoes (canned or stewed) 1-2 tablespoon salt. 1-8 teaspoon pepper. 1 teaspoon vinegar.

AMERICANS The announc Harding has representative moment con November S Ellhu Root Underwood, dy American 4 has leaped Personal appeals by Dr. Jackson to the public in the United States resulted in contributions of $2146, and sixteen head of reindeer from Siberia were landed in Alaska in 1891, followed by about two hundred and fifty in later shipments during the year. Congress than made several small contributions, and by 1900 the total number of reindeer imported into Alaska from Siberia had aggregated about twelve hundred. Importation was then suspended. As a consequence of this establishment of the reindeer industry in Alaska a quarter century ago, the number of reindeer now scattered through that territory is about 140,000 and their value between three and four million dollars. So liberally are the reindeer herds now supplying the natives, their owners, with meat, milk, butter and cheese, that their owners are now able to spare large quantities for shipment to the Pacific coast cities. The especial value of this reindeer enterprise in Alaska was found in the fact that it turned into food from a natural growth formerly unutilized, and at the same time encouraged a fixed habitation and a domestication of industry on the part of a population formerly nomadic through its dependence upon the ocean's frontage for its supply of animal food. The reindeer, which thrives upon the formerly unutilized mosses and lichens of the Arctic "Tundra," which he digs from beneath the snow in winter, serves not only as a food supply but also a draft and pack animal in transporting mails and merchandise, while his skins furnish clothing and shelter for the natives. THREE PRACTICAL METHODS OF FATTENING POULTRY Three methods of fattening poultry are used in this country—pen fattening, crate fattening, and machine cramming. The first two are the most common; the third is used only where but a few birds are to be fattened. Pen fattening is practiced by many persons who do not have the time and inclination to use other methods. The essentials of pen fattening are quiet, darkness, except at feeding time, and plenty of soft feed given at regular intervals, usually three times a day. Birds may be kept in flocks of 15 or 20, but the sexes should be separated. In crate fattening a few chickens are kept in crates and fed from a trough. A crate 6 feet long, 18 inches high, and 18 or 20 inches wide is suitable and is large enough for a dozen birds. Sometimes the crate is divided into two or three compartments, 4 tablespoons green pepper (chopped). 4 tablespoons red pepper (chopped). 1-2 medium-sized onion (chopped). 1-4 pound cooked macaroni. 4 tablespoons flour. 5 pints stock. 1 quart tomatoes (canned or stewed). 1-2 tablespoon salt. 1-8 teaspoon pepper. 1 teaspoon vinegar. 1 bay leaf. Cook chopped peppers and onion in the butter for 5 minutes; add flour, heated stock, and strained tomatoes; strain, season, add cooked macaroni, and just before serving all the vinegar. The peppers and onion may be minced by putting them through a meat grinder. Every move masterly one superficial foreside aside.

Prize, he has to the mannequin any other star has not taken lect, cooled led of his sturd suffered in pities of his understanding but there is cannot see that can get ANAHEIM GAZETTE four to six birds being kept in each compartment. Little room is desirable, for the less exercise the birds have the more readily will they fatten. If the crate is to be left outdoors the top should be covered. The sides should be made of slats about 2 inches apart so the birds can eat from the trough which is hung just outside the crate. The bottom of the crate should be of slats about an inch apart, to permit the droppings to fall through, or dropping pans may be used and the crates arranged in tiers. In indoor feeding the crates should be put in a well-ventilated room. Usually the birds are fed three times a day and are allowed to eat for half an hour at a time, when the uneaten feed is removed. Crate and machine cramming are described in Farmers' Bulletin 287, issued by the United States department of agriculture, and it would be advisable to procure a copy. Crate-fattening birds should always have soft feed. As they have no exercise they require a feed than can be digested easily and quickly. This mixture is used on a New York poultry farm: 100 pounds finely ground barley, 100 poounds finely ground corn, and 100 pounds finely ground oats (with hulls sifted out). Buttermilk or skim milk is used for mixing to the consistency of thick cream, the buttermilk being preferred. A little salt sometimes is added. In this instance the birds are fed twice a day at intervals of 12 hours and are fattened for about three weeks. It is important that the intervals between the feedings should be as nearly equal as possible. Another ration is: 100 pounds of ground oats, 100 pounds ground corn, 50 pounds low-grade flour, and four pounds tallow. EXPENSIVE CAMP FIRE served by his vigilant eyes. Senator Lodge needs no introduction to the world. He has been in house or senate for 34 years and before that served two terms in the Massachusetts legislature. He was graduated from Harvard college 50 years ago, later took his law degree and his degree of doctor of philosophy. He chose literature as his profession and, beginning with his thesis on "The Land-Law of the Anglo-Saxons" in 1876, he has written the most imposing shelf of books to the credit of any man in public life. His research has covered the entire field of American history. He has the LL.D. degree from nine of the leading universities of America. He is also a master of languages and for 20 years he spent his summer vacations in the capitals of Europe, meeting the greatest figures and studying conditions at first hand. He has always been a sturdy American. His pride has made him independent of political consideration in foreign affairs. He was first to defend President Cleveland's Venezulan note, he often differed with his bosom friend, Theodore Roosevelt, on foreign affairs, and opposed many features of John Hay's treaties he felt dangerous to this country. His fight on the league of nations known of all men. Senator Underwood is a native Kentuckian, but he was educated in Alabama, and began his practice of law there. He lacks eight years of equalling Lodge's continuous congressional service and he has been in the Senate only six years and a few months. He took to the senate all the prestige he had won in the house, a rare achievement. He is recognized as one of the ablest men in his party and, but for his residence in Alabama, might have long ago been the Democratic choice for president. While he voted with the Wilson administration on the league of nations, he clearly showed that he did not share the enthusiasm the birds are fed twice a day at intervals of 12 hours and are fattened for about three weeks. It is important that the intervals between the feedings should be as nearly equal as possible. Another ration is: 100 pounds of ground oats, 100 pounds ground corn, 50 pounds low-grade flour, and four pounds tallow. EXPENSIVE CAMP FIRE Pleading guilty to a complaint charging him with leaving a burning camp fire, Charles W. Hudson, of Los Angeles, was fined $75 by Justice of the Peace Leo Goepper in the justice court at Santa Ana Thursday afternoon. The complaint was sworn to by Fire Warden George W. Harris. W. J. Bower and P. L. Haworth, companions of Hudson, also named in the complaint, were given suspended sentences of 75 days. The trio were on a camping expedition in Aliso canyon. Bower and Haworth left the camp early Friday morning to do some hunting. Hudson, who has a crippled leg, was left at the camp. He became impatient when his companions did not return and climbed over a knoll in search of them. It was while he was looking for his two friends that Fire Warden Harris discovered the camp fire. Hudson declared that he was never out of sight of the fire. Harris claimed that he could see no one when he came upon the fire, and that if it had been fanned by a sudden gust of wind-Hudson, the cripple, could not possibly have reached it in time to prevent it from spreading. The three men admitted that Hudson was left behind to watch the camp and the fire. Bower and Haworth were exonerated in a way, but contributed $25 each to Hudson toward the payment of the fine. The trio promised the court and the fire warden that they would never start another camp fire. AMERICANS AT THE CONFERENCE The announcement that President Harding has selected as American representatives to the limitation of armament conference in Washington in November Secretary of State Hughes, Ellhu Root and Senators Lodge and Underwood, should delight every sturdy American. Mr. Hughes since March 4 has leaped to international fame. Lodge's continuous congressional service and he has been in the senate only six years and a few months. He took to the senate all the prestige he had won in the house, a rare achievement. He is recognized as one of the ablest men in his party and, but for his residence in Alabama, might have long ago been the Democratic choice for president. While he voted with the Wilson administration on the league of nations, he clearly showed that he did not share the enthusiasm or the stubbornness of Senator Hitchcock, the minority leader. He recognizes the decision of that question at the polls and is too much of an American to try to injure the Harding program for partisan reasons. The country is to be congratulated on every member of the delegation. Mr. Harding has acted with characteristic judgment. All these representatives will be found working honestly and effectually for promotion of peace and economy in a practical way. OIL NOTES On the Chapman lease the Union has eight wells drilling. Yorba Linda group 2 is now a 160-barrel well. Dorsey No. 1 turned out to be a 100-barrel well, and No. 2 spudded in and started drilling. The Union's famous producer and discovery well, Chapman No. 1, still produces after 2-12 years better than 500 barrels. No. 6 is holding up strong at 1700, and No. 2 is better than 11 barrels. Exhaustive tests reveal a successful shut off of the water at the Richfield Giant at 3922 feet. The well is now being baled down to see if it will flow through the six-inch casing. Should it fail to flow it will be tubed and swabbed. A 1000-barrel well is looked for. The encouraging showing of oil struck in the Ridge Oil company's well at 3775 feet continues still stronger and more pronounced at the present depth of 3900 feet. Production now seems almost a certainty at 4000 or 4100. The Richfield-Yorba Oil company's No. 1 is now on a steady production and is making 100 barrels. It is the intention to allow the well to produce at this figure for a while. Should it fail to do better the hole will be deepened. A falling off of fifty barrels in one well and a hundred in another is reported by the Selby-Root-Hogue Oil company. Wardman-Claxton No. 2 dropped from 800 to 700 barrels. No. AMERICANS AT THE CONFERENCE The announcement that President Harding has selected as American representatives to the limitation of armament conference in Washington in November Secretary of State Hughes, Ellhu Root and Senators Lodge and Underwood, should delight every sturdy American. Mr. Hughes since March 4 has leaped to international fame. While asserting American rights, respect for them would logically require equal treatment of all other countries. With his trained intellect, he seized on the vital fact that all that Germany conceded was the result of being defeated in the war, as the terms of the armistice made clear, and that there was no diplomatic triumph in the Versailles treaty. Nations seeking to parcel out rights conceded to all countries were acting without authority. Every move he has made has been a masterly one. All the straw men that superficial folk raised have been brushed aside. All the lions in the path have disappeared. As a mist-dispeller Mr. Hughes is easily first among world statesmen. With incomparable vision, with honest purpose and with leonine courage he has been establishing sanity in a war-maddened world. Ellhu Root is chief of our elder statesmen. Winner of the Nobel peace prize, he has devoted more attention to the manner of promoting peace than any other statesman in the world. Age has not taken the edge from his intellect, cooled his heart or divested him of his sturdy Americanism. He has suffered in public opinion from distortions of his remarks and from misunderstanding of his far-sighted policies, but there is no device of diplomacy he cannot see through and there is no bug that can get under any chip, unobtainable. The Richfield-Yorba Oil company's No. 1 is now on a steady production and is making 100 barrels. It is the intention to allow the well to produce at this figure for a while. Should it fail to do better the hole will be deepened. A falling off of fifty barrels in one well and a hundred in another is reported by the Selby-Root-Hogue Oil company. Wardman-Claxton No. 2 dropped from 800 to 700 barrels. No. 1 has been producing steadily for four months at 400 barrels and dropped to 350 barrels. After testing out for three weeks at 4600, 4500 and 4400 the Fullerton Oil company came up to 3500 on the Anaheim Union well and made a production test. At 3500 the best the well will do is pump a little water. It seems that the oil is just not there. The recent cementing done by the Placentia Pacific Oil company at 3800 failed to get all the water. The source of the water has been located and the next cementing will do the trick. One of the best wells that has been brought in in the Yorba Linda district has just been completed by the General Petroleum company at Hugo No. 2. The new well is making 600 barrels of 18 gravity oil. The properties, holdings and production of the Richfield United Oil company have been taken over by the Richfield Southern. The Richfield Southern takes the property on a 50-50 basis and will commence the drilling of a second well immediately. The Richfield Southern is a strong company financially and has the equipment and organization necessary to go ahead and develop the recently acquired property. Girls nowadays think they can improve upon nature—and they can. BE SURE TO SEE IT Orange County Fair The $90,000,000 Products Show Wed., Sept. 28---American Legion Day.
