REPORT OF ENGINEERS ADVERSE TO HARBOR Refuse to Recommend Government Aid in Developing It The appeal for government aid of Newport harbor has been turned down by the board of engineers of the rivers and harbors commission at Washington, on the ground that there was not sufficient business in sight to justify government expenditures on the project. The report, however, has merely stimulated the county harbor committee to greater action. The building of a wharf, it is claimed, will insure ample shipping, and an effort will be made to get a hearing before the committee at Washington next December. The public notice issued by the board of engineers follows: "The river and harbor act approved September 22, 1922, contained provision for a preliminary examination of Newport bay, California. The required examination was made by the district engineer and his report thereon is favorable to the extent of recommending a survey to determine the cost and advisability of the improvement. "In accordance with law, the report has been referred to the board of engineers for rivers and harbors for consideration and recommendation. From the information presented, the board is not convinced of the advisability of the United States undertaking any improvements at this locality at the present time for the following reasons: "The improvements undertaken through the enterprise of the city and county, have resulted in obtaining navigable depths into and through the harbor. Thus far, however, no material commerce has resulted. Until the general public utility of a harbor the greater part of the cross-fertilization, and that is far more to be depended upon than other agencies, such as wind and rain. It is a fact that not only are flowers and blooms necessary as a source of food, for bees, nectar and pollen, but that bees and other insects are necessary to most flowers, especially in their native wild state, in order that the species may be perpetuated. The failure of fruit crops is often due to damp, cold weather at a time when the blooms are on, preventing bees and other insects from actively working on the open bloom. This stage of weather some times comes in southern California, the result being that we have light crops of the various kinds of fruit so common to the section. In an orange grove, when millions of the orange blooms are at their peak, the weather balmy, the ocean breezes tempered by the desert winds, wafting the perfume of millions of blooms far over the adjoining valleys, one will discover millions of honey bees almost forming a cloud between the groves and nearby apiaries. Many books have been written on the subject of the cross-fertilization or pollenization of plants and flowers, but only in very recent years has any active research into this important subject been carried on." QUARANTINE OF DOGS CONTINUED SIX MONTHS State Board of Health Taking Drastic Measures Quarantine of all dogs in Orange county and practically all of southern California ordered by the state board of health in a drastic measure to check the spread of rabies, which is prevalent at the present time, will be continued for at least six months.

Thus far, however, no material commerce has resulted. Until the general public utility of a harbor in this locality has been more clearly established, and shown to be commensurate with the large expenditure required, it does not appear that the federal government should undertake a project for its improvement. "All parties interested in the proposed improvement are invited to submit, within a period of thirty days from the date of this notice, (March 13) statements and arguments bearing upon the necessity for the improvement in the interests of commerce and navigation. Such statements should be addressed to The Board of Engineers for rivers and harbors, Room 2713, Munitions Building, Washington, D.C. Should a hearing be desired, this can be arranged by correspondence with the board. Lew H. Wallace, secretary of the county harbor commission, referring to this report, said: "The report of the board is nothing more than we expected. We cannot expect to institute commerce until we build a wharf and warehouse at the harbor. It is incumbent upon the board of supervisors to make provision for such improvement, as in no other way can we expect to provide the necessary wharf and warehouse facilities. "I am convinced that were a wharf erected, there would be no difficulty in developing a large amount of shipping through the harbor. I believe business concerns of Orange county would co-operate in developing shipping by directing freight shipments to the harbor. "We will continue our fight to secure government aid and will ask for a hearing in Washington. When it is held we will send a delegation there with data that will support our contention that traffic is available. If we could get the wharf before next December, I think the delegation would be fortified with definite shipping data that would be a strong factor in inducing co-operation of the government in developing plans." QUARANTINE OF all dogs in Orange county and practically all of southern California ordered by the state board of health in a drastic measure to check the spread of rabies, which is prevalent at the present time, will be continued for at least six months. Following the discovery of several rabid dogs in Orange and Santa Ana districts tand in Los Angeles county, near Glendale, according to City Health Officer George Weltbrecht. Mr. Weltbrecht was in Los Angeles with the head of a dog that died in Santa Ana and which was declared to have showed rabies symptoms prior to its death. The head of a dog sent from Orange is said to have shown positive evidence of the presence of the dread disease. This dog bit Miss Floy Stevenson, of Orange, last Saturday evening and as a result of the laboratory test showing the presence of rabies, Miss Stevenson is undergoing the Pasteur treatment. The dog was owned by Mrs. E. A. Honey, of Orange, and was kept in the yard, where the young girl was playing with Maurine Smith, 13-year-old daughter of Mrs. Honey. The dog was killed following the attack on Miss Stevenson and the head sent to the state laboratory. The present quarantine, which has existed over the county, is to be more strictly enforced, it was declared following another report from Orange that Floyd Robinson, news carrier boy, was bitten by a dog at Villa Park. The dog is under observation and if any unusual sign develops will be killed and the head sent to the laboratory for investigation. A strict quarantine is being kept in Santa Ana and owners of a number of dogs have been fined for allowing their animals to roam the streets in conflict with a recently adopted city ordinance. The quarantine is being enforced in Santa Ana more strictly than in any other part of the county with the exception of Fullerton.

When it is held we will send a delegation there with data that will support our contention that traffic is available. If we could get the wharf before next December, I think the delegation would be fortified with definite shipping data that would be a strong factor in inducing co-operation of the government in developing plans." THE BUSY BEE Every day, in every way, the fruit grower is beginning to learn that the fertilization of the fruit blooms by the agency of the common honey bee is of no little importance in the production and growing of fruits, both citrus and deciduous, especially in southern California, where so much fruit is produced. The vital importance of the honey bee, as a prime factor to the fruit growing industry cannot in fact be overlooked. Nature's immutable laws say that there must be cross fertilization of blooms. Nature has provided ways in which this fertilization may take place, and winged insects play a big part in the plan. The bee is undoubtedly the most important pollen carrier and should not be overlooked by the practical fruit grower, no difference what variety of fruit he may specialize in. Extensive experimentation proves the part the bee plays in the distribution of pollen from bloom to bloom. Much has been said about the self-fertilization of blooms; and, while, to a limited degree this may be true among certain kinds of blooms, observation shows that it cannot always be depended upon. It has been proven that the common honey bee performs conflict with a recently adopted city ordinance. The quarantine is being enforced in Santa Ana more strictly than in any other part of the county with the exception of Fullerton. RECORD OF FATALITIES IN ORANGE COUNTY 129 Persons Met Violent Deaths During Past Year The automobile in Orange county proved a powerful weapon in the hands of the Grim Reaper during the past twelve months, a survey of Coroner C. D. Brown's records show. Of the 129 deaths, which necessitated the attendance of the coroner since March 1822, 23 were caused directly by automobiles, it was learned. At least 55 of the deaths which Brown investigated were found to be from natural causes. The suddenness or the strange circumstances surrounding the passing of these persons, made his investigations necessary. By far a greater number of men went to the great beyond suddenly. Whereas the records showed that inquests or investigations had been conducted in the deaths of 104 males, the names of only 25 women were included in the list. Perhaps the strangest cause of death was given as a "kick from a horse." Ten deaths were self-inflicted; five were listed as murder, and one was described as justifiable homicide. The hazardousness of oil drilling was illustrated in the fact that eight men went to death while at work around rigs in the Orange county oil fields. One man went to the gallows, as the result of two deaths listed. One is in The first session convening April 11th lying November 23rd, a month on December first regular session mained in session 22, 1922.

Only one of the persons killed in traffic accidents was a pedestrian. Three were killed when automobiles and trains collided. Liquor claimed one victim during the year. The man was a prisoner at the county jail when he died. The cause of death was given as acute alcoholism. Two were killed while they were riding in wagons or horse drawn vehicles. Gas asphyxiation brought death to three, while eight were victims of drowning. Four were elctrocuted. The pursuit of ordinary labor, such as carpentry, proved hazardous for five, who died in the discharge of their duties. Four were killed by steam trains or trolley cars, while one person, a small child, strangled when her dress caught on the handle of an automobile door. THE WATER LEVEL President Cuttle, of the water conservation association, reports that the elevation of water, as indicated by water levels and pressures in 24 wells in the San Bernardino artesian basin, shows that the elevation of water in 12 wells is now an average of 3.22 feet higher than it was in the same wells one year ago, and that the water in 12 other wells in the San Bernardina artesian basin shows an average of 6.22 feet lower. The lower elevation and lower pressure in the wells, where such is shown, can be accounted for, excepting in the case of two wells, by local conditions. Three of these wells being close to the bed of City creek, the bed of which is much lower than it was a year ago, and one well which shows a lower pressure is probably and this in regard to the Panama canal and which provided for the payment to Colombia of $25,000,000; and seven separate treaties which were formulated at the Washington conference for limitation of armament. Another recrd was broken in that this was the first congress which enacted two tariff laws, the emergency or farmers' tariff, which went into effect in May, 1921, and the Fordney-McCumber tariff, which took its place, becoming effective September 22, 1922. Although a woman—Miss Rankin of Montana—a member of a previous congress, this was the first congress in which three women were members of the house at one time—Miss Alice Robertson, of Oklahoma; Mrs. Winifred Mason Huck, of Illinois; and Mrs. John I. Nolan, of California. Another record was broken in that there was a higher death list in this congress than in any previous one. Twenty-four members of the congress died during its existence, four senators and 20 representatives. THE NEXT FRONTIER It is gratifying to learn through recent news dispatches that railroad lines already constructed cover 70 per cent of the distance between New York City and Buenos Aires. These roads, when united in one long line of steel, will mean much in the development of South America and in the establishment of closer commercial relations between the United States and the republics of the southern hemisphere. From the standpoint of both sentiment and trade, the final completion of a continuous line is to be desired. Of course very little freight would be carried from one end of the line to the other, for it could be carried much diagnosis of businessills and their choosing of remedies. The most recent venture of the Democratic party in the field of prophecy was last year when the Republican congress was drafting a tariff bill. The Democratic leaders predicted that if a tariff should be enacted on lines of protection, the result would be to erect a tariff wall which would only prevent other nations from selling to us but would cut off our export trade. This, they asserted, would be particularly true of trade with Europe and more especially with those nations which are our debtors through war loans. The tariff law went into effect in the latter part of September. Trade statistics for October can hardly be taken as a decisive proof of the effects of the tariff, for trade had not yet adjusted itself to the new duties. But if we ignore October trade, and November trade also, in order to be more than fair, the figures for December utterly disprove the Democratic theory of the effect of a protective tariff. In December, 1921, we exported merchandise to the value of $296,000,000, while in December, 1922, we shipped abroad merchandise to the value of $344,000,000, an increase of $48,000,000, or about 14 per cent. If we had believed the Democratic purveyors of despondency, we would have expected a falling off of about 40 per cent in exports, but instead we had an increase of 14 per cent. But the figures are impressive when we consider those with regard to European trade exclusively. In December, 1921, we sold to Europe goods to the value of $155,000,000, while in December, 1922, the amount was about $187,000,000, an increase of $32,000,000 or more than 20 per cent. The increase in sales to Europe was greater than to other continents. BROKE ALL RECORDS The 67th congress was a record breaker. Among other things in connection with it that never occurred before in the history of any congress are: Five sessions of the United States senate and four sessions of both house and senate. No other congress ever had more than three sessions. The first session was a special one convening April 11, 1921, and adjourning November 23, 1921. In less than a month on December 5th, 1921, the first regular session convened and remained in session until September 22, 1922. Immediately after the elections in November, another special session was called which convened November 20, 1922, and remained in session until noon December 4, at which time it lapsed and at the same time the second regular session conducted. Of course very little freight would be carried from one end of the line to the other, for it could be carried much cheaper by water and perhaps as quickly. But conditions which control traffic between two ports would not prevail with regard to interior points of production and consumption. It is a general rule that if a commodity must be carried by rail at both ends of its journey it will avoid, if possible, the delay and expense of trans-shipment by water for a part of its distance. That is to say, if a certain product of interior Brazil, for example, were to be shipped to Chicago and it could go to the seaboard and then be carried by boat to an American port and then sent by rail to Chicago, or on the other hand, could be sent all the way by rail, the general rule would be that it would go all the way by rail. That part of South America between the Isthmus and Buenos Aires is largely a wilderness, much of it not even explored. Much of it is a jungle inhabited by wild men and wild beasts. Pestilential disease in some remote localities is believed to be almost a bar to immigration of civilized man. Yet the manner in which the North American continent has been subdued and our experiences in transforming the canal zone from a disease ridden region into a health resort justify confidence that the enterprise of the white race will work miracles in the vast expanse of the Amazon basin and the region drained by the rivers flowing into the Rio de la Plata. Already the Rockefeller foundation has ascertained the means by which the tropical diseases can be controlled and they have been subdued in the regions already settled. Short railroads have been built where trade could be most easily developed and in this course of time these will be multiplied and extended until they constitute a network of transportation lines eventually connected with a main line joining the two continents. The resources of South America, particularly in rubber, coffee, tropical fruits, hard woods and probably mines, when united in one long line of steel, will mean much in the development of South America and in the establishment of closer commercial relations between the United States and the republics of the southern hemisphere.

In less than a month on December 5th, 1921, the first regular session convened and remained in session until September 22, 1922. Immediately after the elections in November, another special session was called which convened November 20, 1922, and remained in session until noon December 4, at which time it lapsed and at the same time the second regular session constitutionally opened. This regular session constitutionally expired March 4. In addition the senate held a brief special session called by President Harding on March 4, 1921, which was in session until March 15. At this special session of the senate a new record was established by the president's appearing personally before the senate in executive session at which time the names of the cabinet were presented for confirmation. During the first regular session occurred the longest single legislative day in the history of congress, it being in connection with the consideration of the tariff bill in the senate and lasted from April 20, 1922, to August 2, without a formal adjournment. Another record was broken in that for the first time in the history of the American congress a woman—Mrs. W. H. Felton, of Georgia—was seated as a member of the United States senate. This congress broke all records in the consideration and ratification by the senate of foreign treaties. All told, the senate ratified eleven foreign treaties: the peace treaties which brought to a formal close a state of war between this country and Germany; Austria and Hungary; a separate treaty being ratified in each case; the treaty with Colombia, which settled the differences between that nation The resources of South America, particularly in rubber, coffee, tropical fruits, hard woods and probably minerals, are such as to make close commercial relations between North and South America highly desirable and mutually profitable. We can furnish the capital, the machinery, the managerial skill and the experience needed to develop their manufacturing industries, for which there is an abundance of water power. Many of their raw materials necessary for our use cannot be produced here. Even without any intercontinental rail connections we have built up and shall continue to increase trade relations with South America. With an unbroken railroad system extending from the southern portion of South America to the northern limits of settlement in Canada, there would be provided that quicker means of both passenger and freight communication which would increase the material wealth and the comfort of all the people of the western hemisphere. South America presents the next frontier, as Africa will present the last frontier. PREDICTIONS GANG AGLEY As prophets in the world of business, the Democrats are a colossal failure.

In 1892 the Democratic party thought a Republican tariff was running the country to destruction and as a result of the election that year the party was given an opportunity to enact a low tariff law, which brought on the panic of 1893. Good times were restored with the re-election of a Republican administration in 1896. Again, in 1912, the Democrats ascribed all ill to the Republican tariff and the high cost of living and predicted the establishment of satisfactory conditions by the reduction of the tariff, which was to bring with it a reduction in the cost of living. The low tariff was enacted, there were hard times and unemployment, and the cost of living continued to go up. War orders saved American industry from the worst depression in our history. In its present failure as a prophet, the Democratic party is running true to form. REDUCING EXPENSES Pursuant to the policy outlined in Gov. Friend W. Richardson's pending budget, the state corporation department announces that the salary roll in that department has been decreased $4860 per year. This decrease takes effect immediately and will remain in effect until after the coming bi-ennium has passed. This saving was made without reducing the force in any office, or without curtailing the service to the public. WOULD BE HORRIFIED "What would Andrew Jackson do?" James M. Cox asks.
