Tragedies Reported For the Weekend Nearly Forty Persons Met Death Along the Coast Tragic deaths in various forms over the weekend piled up a total of nearly two score fatalities along the Pacific coast, according to a compilation by the United Press. The toll was one of the heaviest in recent months. Besides the death harvest, more than 60 persons were injured, some probably fatally, in automobile accidents and other mishaps. Included in the number who met death were: Annette Buele, 4, fell from a horse on a ranch near Ukiah, Calif. Louis Salinas, Southern Pacific section hand, run over by a train at Corn Flat, Calif. Anthony E. Brentfelt, chief gunner of the U.S.S. Medusa, harned himself in a field near Vallejo. Inness is believed responsible. Soyla Gonzales, 25, a nurse, threw herself under a train at Hollister, Calif., presumably despondent over a love affair. Mrs. Mary Laurence, San Francisco nurse, met death either through swallowing a suicide potion or as the result of a beating from unknown sources. Edward Mello, 18, struck down by a hit-and-run autoist at Dixon, Calif. Archibald J. Young, Jr., 29, grandson of Alexander Young, Hawaiian sugar magnate, killed in an airplane crash at Redwood City, Calif. August DeWitt Tork, 18, died from loss of blood after accidentally shooting himself on a hunting excursion near Richmond, Calif. Raymond Haywood, 30, killed in a motorcycle-automobile crash near Auburn, Calif. Mary Robbins, 19, killed in automobile accident near Mountain View, Calif. Getano Anaclerio, San Francisco, shot himself. Sergeant Thomas H. Besser, United States marine corps, bled to death when a jugular vein was cut in an automobile mishap near La Jolla, Calif. Mode of the Moment Particularly interesting at this season of the year is the ensemble costume. The very smart model pictured is fashioned of green suede-finished cloth, and is trimmed with squirrel. The lining, of the same material of which the frock is developed, is of flowered crepe de chine. PLAY SAFE!

Although in many parts of the country the farmer is said to be much better off than a year ago, the administration is desirous of doing what it can to facilitate his recovery. The efforts of the administration, it is said, will be directed to a great extent in encouraging the co-operative movements for the handling of farm products, and it is said that a definite plan is being prepared and will be suggested to congress by the President. Secretary of Agriculture Jardine is, of course, co-operating in the formation of the plan. It is said that the new plan proposes the creation of a strong division of co-operative marketing under the department of agriculture. This division will not have actual regulatory powers and will not act as a licensing bureau. It will direct its efforts toward helping the co-operative plan wherever practicable. Economists estimate that two and a half million farmers are now marketing their wares through a co-operative agency, and it is estimated that the total value of the products to be marketed by these farmers this year will approximate two and a half billion. Particularly interesting at this season of the year is the ensemble costume. The very smart model pictured is fashioned of green suede-finished cloth, and is trimmed with squirrel. The lining, of the same material of which the frock is developed, is of flowered crepe de chine. PLAY SAFE! Way out here in California Where the sun knows how to shine. Where they only call it winter When the winds begin to whine. Where the open road's alluring From Sierra to the sea There is joy in Nature's bounty And the motor car's the key. Like the oriental carpet Of the Arab's magic scene, The enchanted horse of childhood, Or the steed of Hippocrene. It reveals the book of nature, Desert mountain, field and plain From the majesty of Shasta To the "Land of little rain." It's the key to health and pleasure. It's the bond of farm and town It's a guide to paths of beauty In the footsteps of renown. It has speed, but don't abuse it, There are others on the way, If you would enjoy tomorrow, Drive with care; play safe today. A school to study dogs has been opened in Berlin, which may be a move to reduce the price of frankfurters. the creation of a strong division of cooperative marketing under the department of agriculture. This division will not have actual regulatory powers and will not act as a licensing bureau. It will direct its efforts toward helping the co-operative plan wherever practicable. Economists estimate that two and a half million farmers are now marketing their wares through a co-operative agency, and it is estimated that the total value of the products to be marketed by these farmers this year will approximate two and a half billion dollars. The administration, it is said, believes that a great deal of good can be done for the farmer by assisting in this movement through a division of the department of agriculture. A LAND YACHT DESCRIBED For years yachtsmen have wondered why, with all the motor touring that goes on, comfortable and efficient "land yachts" have not been designed. Here and there one sees a little house on wheels designed by some foreseen person, but usually they are clumsy, and never have they been turned out standardized and in quantities. One built a couple of years ago by a mild-western man embodies some interesting ideas. It is 25 feet long, with a beam of 7 feet. It weighs 7200 pounds and is carried on a Ford chassis. A newspaper furnishes details as follows: "In this space of 7 by 25 feet there is a 7 by 10 kitchen, a living room 7 by 10 and a Pullman sleeping compartment 4 by 7 with two Pullman berths. The kitchen contains a three-burner cook stove, a sink, running water, cupboards and a built-in table. The living room is furnished with a phonograph, chairs and a wardrobe, and may be used as a sleeping room at night. On the rear is the observation platform, furnished in the fashion of one Pullman company's observation trains." This begins to approach the average small yacht in getting conveniences into small space. It is probably larger than necessary. There may be a great development of this kind of thing in the next few years. Improvements by City Government Planned (Continued from Page One) will not be assessed for the upkeep of the property on unimproved streets. The trustees have at this time at their disposal all the laws that are necessary to work out the above idea, but which have as yet not come into general use. These are the Acts of 1911 and 1915 providing for paving, planking, grading, oiling and other improvements that are necessary. This, however, is an awkward way of handling the grading and oiling, and we would rather continue the general levy and apply it where the streets need it the worst. In working up the present paving program we have selected the 1911 Act, which seems to be most suitable to our needs and which has been in use in Anaheim on practically all of its former proceedings. It calls for plans and specifications to be placed on file in the various offices of the city and a Resolution of Intention setting forth the work to be done, the names of the streets to be improved and the descriptions in detail. Then the street superintendent is required to post notices along the streets to be improved for the purpose of notifying the owners of their intention. At the time set by the trustees, protests are to be heard, and the law requires that these protests must set forth reasonable reasons in writing and that if protest is made on 50 per cent (of the linear feet) of property feet, that no further proceedings shall be taken for a period of six months unless the protest be overruled by an affirmative vote of four-fifths of the members of the city council, in which case they acquire jurisdiction and may proceed with the work. This section of the law provides for the property owners to have a voice in the matter of these improvements and was not intended that it would be a chance to vote yes or no on such improvement. If there is no good reason why the improvement should not be made, the trustees have power to overrule the protest as explained above, and proceed to advertise for bids. Section 12 provides that after the trustees have received bids, the owners assessment to full, otherwise it automatically goes to bond, and bonds will be issued on the property for sums in excess of $25, no bond being issued for a sum less than $25. Serial bonds will then be issued and shall extend over a period of nine years, from the second day of January next succeeding the fifteenth day of November following their date, interest to be paid semiannually. If the bond is dated between the fifteenth of May and the fifteenth of November, the first interest bearing date will be the succeeding January 2. If the bond is dated between November 15 and May 16, then the first interest bearing date will be the succeeding July 2. The city treasurer will collect principal and interest from the property owners in like manner, except that the dates will be advanced from July 1 to May 18 and from January 2 to November 16 of the succeeding year. These bonds may be liquidated as follows: By paying the city treasurer the amount than unpaid of the principal sum thereof with interest thereon calculated up to the due date of the interest maturing on interest coupon, at the rate named in the bond, and all penalties accrued and unpaid, together with interest for six months at the rate named in said bond. The public must understand that the trustees are endeavoring to work for the best interests of the city, and it is not their intention to force improvements on property owners when they are not able to stand it; but we must view the whole situation and not individually. As stated before, we will have to admit that we are behind in our improvements, especially paving and ornamental lights, but we believe this is the time to commence these improvements, as the prices at this time will warrant such action. We are spending yearly approximately $40,000 in our street department on maintenance, grading, oiling and work on the streets, and while the garbage and rubbish collection are included in this, the major portion is for maintenance work. At one time when traffic conditions were different, oil was a very suitable means of making a semi-permanent street, but that time is past and the conditions that we have today, with so many automobiles and MEXICANS LEAVE COUNTY Reports to the effect that a number of Mexican laborers, working and living on the Irvine ranch, suddenly had left their abodes, have reached Immigration Officials Nicholson and Galumbrik, federal officers, who have been working in Orange county for the last several weeks, Nicholson said today. He attributes the sudden departure to the fact that a number of Mexicans have been arrested during the last few weeks on suspicion that they entered the United States unlawfully and that they have no right to live here. "It has been reported to us that Mexicans, at least some of them, are under the impression that it will cost them approximately $200 to enter the United States lawfully, and they have left here because they fear deportation," Nicholson said. A number of Mexicans have been arrested during the last several weeks by the immigration officials and a number have been deported. A total of 17 were deported several weeks ago and there are at least eight or nine in the county jail today awaiting disposition of their cases. The cost to come into the United States legally is approximately $18, Nicholson said, and not $200. It also was pointed out that Mexicans or other foreigners who have resided in the United States for a period of five years cannot be deported.

This section of the law provides for the property owners to have a voice in the matter of these improvements and was not intended that it would be a chance to vote yes or no on such improvement. If there is no good reason why the improvement should not be made, the trustees have power to overrule the protest as explained above, and proceed to advertise for bids. Section 12 provides that after the trustees have received bids, the owners of three-fourths of the improvement may enter into a contract to do all of the work at the prices of the lowest responsible bidder. If same is done within 10 days. After this 10-day period, the street superintendent is to enter into a contract with the lowest responsible bidder to whom the trustees have awarded the contract to do the work. In the past it has been custom, as provided by this law, to assess the improvement on the front footage plan, and the same will be followed at this time. The city has always taken care of street intersections, but the property adjoining the alley has paid for the alley intersections. It is the custom among other municipalities to assess all of the work, including the street intersections, as well as the alley intersections, to the property on the street being improved, which is legal under this act. After the work is done and the assessments are made up, the contractor makes his demand on the property owners for payment. The property owners have 20 days in which to pay mental rights, but we believe this is the time to commence these improvements, as the prices at this time will warrant such action. We are spending yearly approximately $40,000 in our street department on maintenance, grading, oiling and work on the streets, and while the garbage and rubbish collection are included in this, the major portion is for maintenance work. At one time when traffic conditions were different, oil was a very suitable means of making a semi-permanent street, but that time is past and the conditions that we have today, with so many automobiles and trucks and no team traffic, oil is a very expensive makehift. Outside of the resurfacing of Lincoln avenue, the city of Anaheim has spent not more than $500 for maintaining its permanent roads so that, in view of the cost of maintenance, cost of installation at this time, and our present status among neighboring municipalities, the conclusion is that we must install permanent roads to save the taxpayers money, and this is the thought that has been uppermost in the minds of the trustees. State Adjutant James K. Flask of the American Legion narrowly escaped being one of the passengers in the ill-fated aeroplane that crashed to earth at Paso Robles on Armistice Day, wherein the pilot and two passengers were instantly killed.
