WORLD'S WONDER SHOW PROMISES NOVEL PAGEANT California Owned Wild Anamal Show Presents Exclusive Extrava-ganza. Howe's Great London circus and Van Amber's wild animals, exhibiting at Anaheim on Monday, April 10, will present a decidedly novelty feature particularly pleasing to the little folks, "Cinderella in Jungleland." This is only one of the many innovations contained in the all star program and really pertains to the theatrical, rather than the circus world. Out of the atmosphere of the well known nursery tale steps "Cinderella," she of the slipper and dear to the childish heart. An army of people appear in a gorgeous musical spectacle introducing in appropriate jungle settings splendid specimens of practically every family of the wild animal kingdom. An excellent musical score, with brilliant lighting effects, combine to leave a lasting impression on the minds of the little folks. Other features, appealing to the little ones, will be the appearance here of the pair of baby lion cubs, "Native Sons," too, having first viewed the light in winter quarters at Palo Alto on the occasion of the lion stork's visit to their jungle-bred parents, "Romeo" and "Juliet." This occurred on January 10, 1922. They have been christened "Milt" and "Bessie." A baby monkey is also a recently added feature in the circus kindergarten, fully entitled to claim citizenship from point of birthplace. There will be ponies, pretty Shetlands, performing with almost human intelligence, monkeys who ride bicycles just like men do; goats and dogs, carrier pigeons and many other acts of particular appeal to the juveniles. Clowns, thirty of them, count 'em! The world's greatest of original fun producers. crew while the men were cutting and clearing a fire break and repairing the trail along the main ridge to the northwest of the peak. In his spare time he kept a record of the rainfall and snowfall. "My figures," he said, "shows the difference between the higher and lower altitudes. "From December 18, until the end of the year 31 inches of rain fell. The ground was very dry at this time and on account of the dense brush cover on the higher peaks, ridges and spurs the run-off was very light and most of the moisture soaked in. "In January, 1922, there was 52 inches of snowfall—37 1-2 inches at one storm, followed by 42 hours of rain showing 33 inches of precipitation for the month. There was no indication of a heavy run-off anywhere on the upper trails. "February was stormy 13 days and 10 nights—21 inches of snowfall and 27 inches of rain, with the rain gauge running over, how many hours I could not say. "The snow has been off only in spots, this year up here on county line, where this record was taken. Most of the snowfall reached down six miles as the trains run, formed a crust due to ensuing high fig-mist and rain, and melted off slowly. Virtually all the moisture soaked into the ground, and, up to this date, March has nearly as good a record on the higher peaks. "After many years' experience in helping to get watershed data in various parts of California in national forests and elsewhere, please let me say that I doubt very much if the people in Orange and Riverside counties realize what a valuable natural resource they have. Those two counties have yet many acres, lying idle or bringing in a very small income to their owners, which could be put under a high state of agricultural control."

BEE MEN TO MEET FOR FIELD DAY ON APRIL 1 In accordance with a second change in plans, announcement has been made that the postponed bee keepers' field day will be held at the George Brown ranch at Tustin, April 1. The affair was originally scheduled for last Saturday, but rain prevented many from attending. As a result, the affair was postponed one week. This date was found to conflict, and the second announcement followed. Ralph Benton, bee specialist from the University of California, will speak at the field day April 1. M. H. Wells, of the First National bank, Los Angeles, will talk on the financial aspects of the honey producing business. County Bee Inspector J. E. Pleasants will conduct demonstrations. Although the field day was postponed last Saturday, the twenty producers present indulged in an informal discussion of the problems at hand. A nominating committee, with Geo. Brown as chairman, was appointed by J. E. Pleasants to report nominees at the April meeting of the county farm bureau bee keepers' department. The present officers are J. E. Pleasants, chairman, and Roy Bishop, secretary. Geo. Brown, who was recently elected to the board of directors of the Honey Producers' exchange, explained the policies of the organization. SUPERVISORS' PROCEEDINGS Demands on county of Orange were allowed as read. Franchise under the application of the Amalgamated Oil company was sold to them for $100. Map of tract No. 266 was accepted as the official plotting of said tract. The chairman was authorized to approve bond on street work in tract No. 266. The consent to said grant under franchise No. 181 was given as per "After many years' experience in helping to get watershed data in various parts of California in national forests and elsewhere, please let me say that I doubt very much if the people in Orange and Riverside counties realize what a valuable natural resource they have. Those two counties have yet many acres, lying idle or bringing in a very small income to their owners, which could be put under a high state of agriculture with the water from those valuable watersheds. But in order to get good results, those watersheds must be protected; fire must be kept out, to give the growth a chance to thrive and regulate the runoff and reduce evaporation. There are various ways in which Orange and Riverside counties may co-operate with the United States forest service in bringing about these results. It is to the counties' best interests to co-operate in every possible way. To protect the cover on those watersheds is the only security they can get. "There is no question that if Orange and Riverside counties' watersheds were protected and the water were conserved they would always have an abundance of water. Six forest service men in charge of Purcy Hook, assistant ranger, are now at work repairing trail in Black Star canyon. McDonald was forced to ask for leave of absence on account of an infection on his left hand, due to a splinter. A physician at Orange is treating him. LEFT TRAIL IF DEBTS That her husband was gifted with many jobs and an imagination; that he left a trail of debts extending from the Texas cotton fields through the Kansas hay barns and the California citrus belt into the sea, was the substance of allegations made by Augusta Lowrey, whose suit for divorce from John Lowrey is on file in the superior court. According to the story of the wife, from the time of their marriage at Elair, Oklahoma, August 7, 1911, to the time of their separation February 2, in this county, life was just one job after another, one town after another, and apparently, one disappointment after another. She asserts that her husband could not hold jobs—that he complained of ill health as an excuse for losing or higher peaks.

The salary of the county horticultural commissioner was fixed at $3600 per year. Permission was granted E. M. Smiley to construct sewer line and construct pavement as per petition on file. The bid of J. Simon Fluor for construction of bridge over San Cabriel river, was rejected. Ohio street, in the third road district, as improved by W. H. Jones, contractor, was accepted as per commandment of county superintendent of highways. Leave of absence from the state for a period of ten days commencing March 25th, was granted H. A. Waser. IT'S WET ON SADDLEBACK Orange county had 91 inches of rain—and snow—in less than three months this winter. That is, such was the precipitation in one section of the county. J. F. McDonald, the United States forest service, supplies the figures. He was with the forestry crew building trail on and near Santiago peak, on the peak of what is commonly called Old Saddleback, from December 16, 1921, until March 1, last. McDonald acted as cook for the divorce from John Lowrey is on file in the superior court. According to the story of the wife, from the time of their marriage at Elair, Oklahoma, August 7, 1911, to the time of their separation February 2, in this county, life was just one job after another, one town after another, and, apparently, one disappointment after another. She asserts that her husband could not hold jobs—that he complained of ill health as an excuse for losing or quitting each new position that he found. He deserted her in the Texas cotton fields, she says, leaving her stranded. She finally made her way home to her parents in Oklahoma, where he later rejoined her and lived, she claims, off her father. He next ventured into the Kansas hay fields and soon came back, she alleges, "dirty, ragged and broke." Then came California and brief periods of existence in Orange, Garden Grove and more than a dozen other cities of the state, she claims, a debt being left at each place. The husband's imagination, according to the wife, was revealed in a story he told her at Redlands after he had returned to her there from Long Beach, where he had worn kon a fishing boat. The boat, she says, he told her after a three weeks' absence, had been lost at sea, all hands being picked up after drifting a week. She claims to have found this thrilling narrative somewhat wide of the real facts, which were, she asserts, that her husband was loafing on the streets of Long Beach during his absence. Custody of three small children was asked by the wife in her suit, which was filed by Attorney Roland Thompson. ANAHEIM GAZETTE CARPENTER EXPLAINS EARTHQUAKE SHOCKS Big Naval Guns in the Channel Had Timid People Scared. Scientific explanation for the unusual conduct of hundreds of southern California houses during the last week—the rattling of doors and windpws at night, though unaccompanied by vibrations—was contained in an official report compiled by Dr. Ford A. Carpenter, meteologist. For a period of thirty minutes on various evenings during the week, citizens were alarmed in scattered sections by a sudden and mystifying shaking of doors and windows. First thoughts were that the famous Antigonish ghost had joined the flood of tourists to southern California, or that, true to the warning shrieks and exaggerated reports in eastern newspapers, the weird rattlings were the forerunner of a series of earthquakes. The shocks were caused neither by the Antigonish ghost or earthquakes. The battleships at target practice did it. "It would seem proper to give some explanation of these shocks at this time, in view of the fact that earthquakes were felt throughout Missouri, Illinois, Tennessee and portions of neighboring states during the twenty-four hours preceding the gun firing of southern California," Dr. Carpenter's report states. "It will be remembered that great publicity was given in northern papers to the gun shocks felt on the evening of January 17. Northern papers declared at that time that the shocks were from earthquakes." Dr. Carpenter reported that sound from a certain point can be heard more distinctly at some times than others, that in this the wind direction plays an important part, that sound waves traveling in the opposite direction from which the wind is blowing will be broken up and reflected.

Brown, Buaro rancher, was exonerated and justified for the killing of Crencion Orivez, Mexican chicken thief who was shot by Brown early Monday after raiding the latter's chicken pens. After hearing Brown's statement that he attempted to halt the Mexican and then, after seeing the Mexican fumble in his pocket as though reaching for a weapon, had discharged his shot gun without taking aim or meaning to hit Orivez, a coroner's jury returned a verdict of justifiable homicide. E. E. Cooley was foreman of the jury. Coroner Charles D. Brown conducted the inquest at 3:30 p.m. in the Smith & Tuthill funeral chapel. Brown was the principal witness. He described how the electric alarm he had arranged warned him of the Mexican's presence in his chicken pens. Orivez, he said, disregarded his commands to halt and kept moving away, at the same time fumbling in his pocket. He had reached the Pacific Electric tracks, which pass the Brown place, when the rancher "shot from the hip," the load of No. 8 shot striking Orivez in the head. Dr. H. M. Smith, autopsy surgeon, and H. E. Johnson, rancher neighbor of Brown, were other witnesses. Johnson told of having caught Orivez on one occasion stealing chickens from him. Other neighbors of Brown testified to the rancher's good character. Orivez was buried in the Santa Ana cemetery. Give Us a Trial for High Grade Meats. Our Service Can't Be Beat.
