Be it further resolved, that this resolution be spread on the minutes of the bar association, and that copies of the same be furnished to the press of Orange county." VALUABLE DEPOSITS FOUND BY ANAHEIM MAN H. Peterkin at the sheriff's office, he was driving north on Main street and the Japanese was headed south. The Japanese is said to have been attempting to pass a machine driven by B. T. Schuchardt, 816 South Van Ness street, Santa Ana, when his car collided with the Peterkin machine, causing it to hit the curb and turn over. The Peterkin car was badly damaged. It was not removed until some hours after the collision. Three members of the family of George W. Barnes are in a hospital at Artesia, where they are being treated for cuts and bruises sustained when the machine in which they were riding was struck by a car driven by Lloyd L. Gabriel, of Brea. The accident occurred on Long Beach boulevard at the intersection of the Los Alamitos turn off. According to a report made at the sheriff's office by Mr. Barnes, Gabriel was trying to dodge a mule which showed a tendency to back into his car. Mr. Barnes said that he drove his car as far to the right as possible in an effort to avoid a collision with Gabriel's machine. He intimates that Gabriel cut in at areckless rate of speed. Mr. Barnes himself was slightly hurt and his car badly smashed. Mr. and Mrs. James Crotsis, of San Pedro, and their two children were treated at the community hospital, Santa Ana, late Sunday for injuries sustained when their car ran off the shoulder of the state highway about eight miles south of San Juan Capistrano and turned over. Mr. Crotsis sustained a dislocated hip and his wife was injured about the chest. The two children escaped with bruises and minor cuts. Robert Wagoner and his son, Thornton, aged 16 years, were confined to the Santa Ana community hospital as a result of an accident on the state highway about a half mile south of Irvine Monday morning. Mr. Wagoner VALUABLE DEPOSITS FOUND BY ANAHEIM MAN Fred L. Sexton Discovers a Fertilizer Mine When principalities of land were in circulation at what now may be considered bargain prices in California, 'way back in the '70s, Louis F. Mouton, descendent from one of Massachusetts' historic families, bought 23,000 acres known as the Rancho Niguel, and began raising sheep on the lordly ranges surrounding what is now El Toro station. Orange county, on the Santa Fe. Forbidding hills, encrusted with outcropping limestone, long lay baking in the sun on Rancho Niguel. The light overburden made feed for the sheep precarious, and it was not until a few days ago when Fred L. Sexton, Orange county pioneer, looking over this deposit, found that it was so nearly pure calcium carbon that it had possibilities of placing many thousands of California's depleted acreages abroad of their greatest productivity again. This deposit is plainly traceable to marine life, oyster and other shells and remains of large bones having been found in great quantity and almost perfect preservation. Moreover, it is stated that literally hundreds of thousands of tons of this soil awakening material, almost free from even a trace of foreign matter, are readily obtainable for immediate use, and a large crushing plant, bunkers for loading and other necessary material, are nearly installed, with the probability that deliveries can be made within a fortnight. Anaheim people of prominence are behind the new Orange county enterprise, and chemists of the highest authority, who have examined samples from each hillside deposit, of which there are many on the rancho, state that here lies an inexhaustible and cheaply obtainable supply of the richest fertilizer known. Old orchards and inferior beet lands have in many cases found great benefit from application of available calcium. Marl and chalk and other calcium shoulder of the state highway about eight miles south of San Juan Capistrano and turned over. Mr. Crotsis sustained a dislocated hip and his wife was injured about the chest. The two children escaped with bruises and minor cuts. Robert Wagoner and his son, Thornton, aged 16 years, were confined to the Santa Ana community hospital as a result of an accident on the state highway about a half mile south of Irvine Monday morning. Mr. Wagoner sustained a broken collar bone and his son escaped with minor cuts and bruises. According to Mr. Wagoner, his car ran over a wet or oily spot on the highway and started to zig-zag back and forth. Before he could bring it to a stop it ran off the highway and turned completely over. His son was mined beneath the car and the machine had to be lifted before the boy could be extricated. Passing motorists rendered aid. Mr. Wagoner was on his way from San Diego to Los Angeles when the accident occurred. Machines driven by A. G. Phelps, of Laguna Beach, and W. H. Johnson, of El Toro, were badly damaged in a collision near the old pumping plant just east of Tusin about 8 o'clock Sunday night. According to a report made by City Marshal Sam Jernigan, of Santa Ana, Johnson cut in ahead of Phelps. The machine driven by Johnson was owned by T. A. Ahern, of El Toro. ROTARIANS TO PICNIC Rotarians of Santa Ana, Anaheim, Orange, Fullerton, Long Beach, Huntington Park and San Pedro are looking forward to a big time in Orange county park on the afternoon and evening of August 18. Last year the Santa Ana Rotarians started something when, after being initiated by the Long Beach brothers, they repaid them with a picnic. This year a similar affair is being planned with the Rotary clubs instituted by both lodges. At least 500 Rotarians and families are expected. A harbecue dinner, with Willis R. Duffy, Santa Ana Elk chef, in charge, is scheduled for 6:30 o'clock, with dancing following. During the afternoon special races and contests for the feminine guests will be held, including a nail driving contest, tug of war, and a stunt by "The Woman's Reduction club," for the Rotarians say 'tis rumored that... Anaheim people of prominence are behind the new Orange county enterprise, and chemists of the highest authority, who have examined samples from each hillside deposit, of which there are many on the rancho, state that here lies an inexhaustible and cheaply obtainable supply of the richest fertilizer known. Old orchards and inferior beet lands have in many cases found great benefit from application of available calcium. Marl and chalk and other calcareous material have been hauled great distances, ever since the dawn of the agricultural era, say these chemists, to replenish worn-out solids, the measure of their availability depending upon availability for immediate assimilation. Calcium, they claim, is to the earth what the spark plug is to the gas motor, and on that assumption they hall the present discovery, so available and so near many thousands of the most valuable acres of the earth's soil, a veritable boon to the southern California orchardist, grove owner and farmer, and a solution of his ever-present problem of soil-deterioration. ROLL OF SUNDAY ACCIDENTS Eight persons were in local hospitals and others are nursing injuries at their respective homes as the result of automobile accidents on the high days Sunday, and early Monday morning. Ralph Peterkin, of Brea, is at the Santa Ana community hospital with a broken arm and minor bruises sustained when the automobile in which he was riding was struck by a machine driven by H. Osajina, a Japanese. The accident occurred about 10:30 Sunday night just north of the bridge on North Main street, Santa Ana. According to a report made by E. Rotary clubs instituted by both lodges. At least 500 Rotarians and families are expected. A barbecue dinner, with Willis K. Duffy, Santa Ana Elk chef, in charge, is scheduled for 6:30 o'clock, with dancing following. During the afternoon special races and contests for the feminine guests will be held, including a nail driving contest, tug of war, and a stunt by "The Woman's Reduction club," for the Rotarians say 'tis rumored that many of the Rotary women are either dieting to reduce or using some other means of peeling off excess avoirdupois. A baseball game between the Long Beach team and a team made up from the Orange county clubs is also scheduled for the afternoon. Committees have been appointed for each club as follows: Santa Ana—Earl Morrow, chairman; Don Loveridge, Elmer Heidt, Gus Daley, Fred Rowland; Long Beach—Charles Lord, chairman; Charles Patrick and Dr. Bob Sweet; Orange—Frank Hallman, chairman, and Ed Chapman; Anaheim—Ed Snyder, chairman and Barney Hartfield; San Pedro—Tom Baker. MATCH WAS A DRAW Fight fans at the Anaheim arena enjoyed a snappy go Friday night when Ad Rubidoux and Danny Martin mixed for four fast rounds in the main event for a draw. Action—and plenty of it, featured every minute of this bout. Ad Rubidoux lived up to his reputation for action, but Danny Martiu proved popular with the bugs, who declare that the referee was blind, crazy or prejudiced when he called the fight a draw.

Motorists who are planning to tour abroad in strange lands are showing keen interest in the information being issued by the touring bureau of the Automobile Club of Southern California. Here is some more "dope" on highway and touring conditions in foreign lands: Italy—Motoring visitors who remain in Italy more than three months must pay inland revenue taxes, which are very high. Then the visitor can stay three more months. Gasoline can be obtained in the north and in the larger towns of the central and southern districts, but it is not of good quality and is high in price. Roads are poor in the southern provinces, but are good and often excellent in the north and central sections. There are over 2000 miles of good roads. Best season is from December to March. Japan—Motor cars can be brought in free of duty if they are declared as "personal luggage." Main roads between large cities are good, but narrow in spots. Frequent rains damage the roads and bridges. Shooting permits are issued from November 15 to April 1. The island of Kyushu and the vicinity of Tohyo and Kyoto offer the best touring fields. Gasoline is obtainable in all larger towns. Palestine—Cars are permitted to enter this country. The roads, however, are generally in a very bad state and unfit for motoring. Portugal—The majority of roads here are in very good condition. Motorists must drive on the left of the highways, and pass each other on the right. Spain—Gasoline is easily obtainable, but many of the roads are bad. The speed on the roads is not limited except through towns. Bridges washed out by storms are often not replaced. It doesn't matter much if you are "broke," provided your spirit isn't. EDWARD B. MERRITT CANDIDATE FOR AUDITOR Of Orange County Primary Election, Tuesday, August 29, 1922 There is far too much violence in the world that is civilized and that has cal violence. There is no country in the world that is civilized and that has any semblance of democracy in its government which has excuse for political violence. There are effectual peaceful methods for settling domestic political difference. There is too much violence in industrial controversies. This, too, is avoidable and unwarranted. The law of the bludgeon and the bullet never should be invoked in settlement of disputes between labor and capital. Settlements made by force are not settlements at all. They only breed hatreds, and provoke other outbreaks of violence. There are peaceful, nonviolent methods of adjusting equitably industrial differences. These should be resorted to, instead of using violence. There are too many violent crimes. There are too many murderers who escape with inadequate punishment. Bloody crimes should be penalized with extreme severity. " FOR SHERIFF Of Orange County Campaign Committee ask that every examine the qualifications of O. position of Sheriff. at in O. K.

They are electrical connections so located that the use of electrical devices is made CONVENIENT. Some are near the floor—others are waist high, depending on their use. Some are double so that two devices may be connected at the same time. You do not disconnect your bathtub every time you use the wash bowl. Do you disconnect your reading lamp when you use your cleaner? And do you rearrange your screen porch every wash day? It was to stop such unnecessary stooping, stretching and moving that the CONVENIENCE OUTLET was designed. The cost of installation is small when properly designed.
