Making Fruit Juice Is Now an Offense Householders' Permits Revoked By Prohibition Authorities Acting under direct instructions received from Commissioner of Internal Revenue D. H. Blair and approved by Assistant Secretary of the Treasury L. C. Andrews in charge of prohibition, letters to 10,000 heads of households in Southern California, notifying them that the privilege, of registration of intention to manufacture 200 gallons of fruit juices other than elder for use in the home, had been revoked, were sent out by Collector Rex B. Goodcell. All holders of declarations of intention to manufacture fruit juices were further notified that they must mail to the Internal Revenue office copies of the declarations or so-called wine permits, now in their possession. The following notice was sent out by Collector Goodcell under instructions from Commissioner Blair: "The following revocation order was issued November 24, 1925 by the Commissioner of Internal Revenue: "The privilege to householders of registration, Form 1541, for making less than 200 gallons of fruit juice other than elder for use in the home, withdrawn. Manufacture of wine for beverage purposes prohibited." "That part of Section 615, of Regulations 60, approved March 14, 1924, which provides for registration, Form 1541, by heads of families for making not more than 200 gallons of fruit juice other than elder, without the payment of tax, and without giving bond, has been revoked, and hereafter no applications Form 1541; for that privilege will be approved by collectors, and all outstanding notices heretofore approved in any collection district, will be at once revoked, called in, and cancelled by the collector thereof, but this will not impair, or place any limitations upon, the rights conferred by Section 29 of the National Prohibition Act as to non-intoxicating cider and fruit juices for use in the home. It is unlawful to manufacture, possess, (except pre-prohibition wine under section 33 of the National Prohibition Act) such products." than elder, without the payment of tax, and without giving bond, has been revoked, and hereafter no applications Form 1541; for that privilege will be approved by collectors, and all outstanding notices heretofore approved in any collection district, will be at once revoked, called in, and cancelled by the collector thereof, but this will not impair, or place any limitations upon, the rights conferred by Section 29 of the National Prohibition Act as to non-intoxicating cider and fruit juices for use in the home. It is unlawful to manufacture, possess, (except pre-prohibition wine under section 33 of the National Prohibition Act), or remove wine for beverage purposes, in the home or elsewhere." "In accordance with the above your declaration of intention to manufacture not over 200 gallons of fruit juice is hereby revoked, and you must at once mail to this office the copy of Form 1541 now in your possession." Collector Goodcell was further ordered by Commissioner Blair to turn over Prohibition Administrator Frith the names of all holders of the so-called permits together with copies of all declarations by Collector Goodcell in future filed. No declarations will be accorded as the existing ones have been revoked he will have no further official connection with them except on action instigated by Administrator Frith's office. As Colonel Frith is the prohibition enforcement officer of this district further action on the so-called permits would have to originate from his office nue Bureau. It was announced at the Internal Revenue Since the National Prohibition Act went into effect householders in all districts in the United States have been permitted under the Internal Revenue regulations to file declarations of intention to manufacture fruit juices exclusively for home consumption. Section 29 of the National Prohibition Act which provides for the manufacture of fruit juices covers the subject as follows: "The penalties provided in this act against the manufacture of liquor without a permit shall not apply to a person for manufacturing non-intoxicating cider and fruit juices exclusively for use in his home, but cider and fruit juices shall not be sold or delivered except to persons having permits to manufacture vinegar. If 200 gallons of fruit juice is held by each householder who filed a declaration of intention a total of 2,000,000 gallons of fruit juices would be affected by the revocation order sent out from Washington. ORANGE COUNTY LAND TITLES IMPREGNABLE Optimistic persons who had visions of establishing valid claims to rich and valuable Orange county lands included in the great Rancho Lomas de Santiago—now commonly called the Irvine ranch—by upsetting the patent, rights of the present owners, have find their hopes rudely dashed by recent action of the government. Two cabinet officials, (the secretary of the interior, acting upon the advice of the attorney general). property of Senor Yorba. The petition asked that the secretary of the interior inaugurate a suit to reform the alleged deficient patent. Such action, had it resulted in favorable decision by the courts, would have reduced the size of the original grant and all succeeding titles to the land, and would, if course, have played general havoc with the titles to that part of the present rancho claimed to have been mistakenly included in the patent. In investigating the basis for such a claim, the general land office of the Interior Department went back to some of its earliest records dealing with public lands in California, and discovered that Yorba had filed his petition for patent to the ranch lands in October, 1852, together with the accompanying evidences of his claim. These documents were examined by the United States Board of Land Commissioners for California, and the grant was confirmed. The United States, however, was apparently not quite satisfied to recognize the grant of such a large and potentially valuable territory without weightier and more authoritative proof of its validity, so the matter was appealed to the U.S. District Court, and that tribunal confirmed the grant to approximately 47,226 acres—eleven square leagues. Having obtained this record of the former litigation in which the ranch had been involved, Secretary Work submitted the question of bringing suit to reform the patent to the attorney general. His reply was that no suit should be brought. Attorney-General Sargent's decision is based on the fact that legal action in the matter is barred by an Act of Congress on March 3, 1891, and the additional consideration that sound public policy does not require new legislation to disturb a rule property in California in Automobiles With the creation national Monument in formia by recent e President Coolidge, traction is perpetual tourists.

Two cabinet officials, (the secretary of the interior, acting upon the advice of the attorney general), have ruled against the adverse claims of those who sought to impeach a title which dates from Mexican colonial days. On December 7th the secretary denied a petition asking that a suit be instituted to reform the patent to the rancho. The petitioners had claimed that almost 30,000 acres had been erroneously included in the ranch lands when the United States government issued the patent thereto. So endeth the current chapter of the story which recounts the troubulous record of the Santiago rancho. The Rancho Lomas de Santiago was created by one of the old Mexican land grants more than three quarters of a century ago, and the present title is by no means of recent origin, having been issued by the United States government in 1868. In the Spanish measure of area, it originally contained some eleven square leagues, or about 47,228 acres, as determined by an early survey. Teodocia Yorba was the original grantee and the one to whom the government issued patent after California became one of the United States. The action which has been brought to a premature end by the decision of the Interior Department was begun last year and attracted a great deal of attention at the time, although "iod-timers" who had seen the performance before had a very good idea of how the thing would end—just as it has. The petition to the secretary of the interior recited that there had been included in the survey upon which the present title is based, an excess of almost 30,000 acres over that actually granted by the Mexican government in 1846, when the rancho was made the Attorney-General Sargent's decision is based on the fact that legal action in the matter is barred by an Act of Congress of March 3, 1891, and the additional consideration that sound public policy does not require new legislation to disturb a rule of property in California in the absence of new facts, or a showing that executive officers of the past have been clearly wrong in repeatedly confirming the grant. He also pointed out the significant fact that two previous suits, involving the same questions regarding the Mexican grant of this rancho, had been dismissed on appeals to the Supreme court by two former attorney generals. The petition was disapproved and the case is presumably closed. So another attempt to insist on the titles to land included in the old Mexican grant has proved an interesting but harmless duel. Some of those who have watched Orange County develop, and its land progressively increase in value year after year, have seen these attempts flourish and die before. The fate of the present one was no surprise. The only surprise is that there are those foolish and gullible enough to pin their hopes on such will-o-the-wisp chances for free land. The titles to Orange County land which date from times before California became a state are an enticing mark for the kind of promoter who believes that it is possible to get something for nothing. Conditions being as they are, there will perhaps be other repetitions of this same little drama. The question is—Who will be next? And the answer is that whoever it may be he is doomed to disappointment, for the titles to Orange County lands, whether originating in Spanish or Mexican land grants or otherwise, are impregnable.—Register.

HUNT, Agent 122 South Ohio St., Anaheim Phone 129 Automobile Notes With the creation of Lava Beds National Monument in northeastern California by recent executive order of President Coolidge, another unique attraction is perpetuated to motoring tourists. It is pointed out by the touring bureau of the Automobile Club of Southern California. The lava beds in Modoc County, now a national monument, form a wonderland of fantastic and weird sights—underground rivers of ice, remarkable caves, crystal pools of cold water, relics and mute evidences of bloody warfare between whites and Indians in 1873, and Indian hieroglyphics on the walls of their early cave rendezvous. Skull Cave, one of the lava bed structures, so named because of the many skulls of extinct animals found there, is over 800 feet long with a dome-like roof almost 190 feet high. Near the end it breaks into three stories or drifts, the lower one of which is a river of ice in which is embedded not only bones of animals, but human bones as well. The Catacombs is considered the most beautiful cave in the lava beds, stalactites and stalagmites adding to its brilliant appearance. The main gallery of Labyrinth Cave, over two miles in length, is pierced in many places with blowholes, locally called "chimneys," which form skylights into the caverns. Indian forts in the battlefield, cartridge shells and fragments of equipment, scattered Juniper trees scarred from root to top, splintered rocks, and bleached bones of horses still mark the location of the battles after half a century of time. The Modoc Lava Beds embrace an area of approximately 30 square miles just south of the shore of Tule Lake. The new national monument is approximately 65 miles by automobile from Al- Supervisors' Proceedings A spraying license was ordered issued to Lefflingwell Rancho Co.

The Modoc Lava Beds embrace an area of approximately 30 square miles just south of the shore of Tule Lake. The new national monument is approximately 65 miles by automobile from Altaus, California, and 45 miles from Klamath Falls, Oregon. Excellent auto roads lead to the region, largely consisting of state highways, according to the touring bureau of the automobile club. Short roads lead off to the different points of interest in the lava beds which present no travel hardships, it is stated. The original trail from Los Angeles harbor to the mountains, blazed for a stage coach route in 1854, is to become a modern paved highway. This is an extension of South Park Boulevard to Wilmington, which follows the same route as the old Banning Trail, which was the most direct highway from Wilmington to 7th and San Pedro streets, a distance of 19 miles. Although this was the first and only road between Los Angeles and the harbor in the early fifties, it is the last to be improved although it is said to be the shortest route. This will make three boulevards between Los Angeles and Wilmington. At the ground breaking celebration starting work on the new highway, a stage coach built 72 years ago and showing the earliest transportation line of the white man, had part in the ceremony. Walk on the left side of the road for safety and also to avoid invitations to ride, is the suggestion of the Automobile Club of Southern California public safety department. The idea was first advanced by an automobile editor in Orange County to whom was put the problem of how to avoid being invited to ride when one wanted to enjoy the exercise of walking. It was ordered that Map Tract Lawn P. Fairhaven Cemetery, be accepted as the official plotting of said tract. It was ordered that the county auditor be instructed to transfer certain amounts from certain funds and that said amounts be deposited in the County Good Roads Fund. It was ordered that the county auditor be instructed to transfer certain amounts from certain funds and that said amounts be deposited in the General Road Fund. A resolution was adopted in the matter of condemnation of certain property belonging to Margaret Mills, et al. It was ordered that the contract for macnam pavement on Serrano street Main street Vista street and Batavia street in the Fourth Road District be accepted except as to Batavia street, and that the contractor, C. E. West be released from doing any work under the contract on the above named street. The county auditor was directed to draw a warrant for $1763.58 in favor of the Orange County Title Company for the purchase of certain property belonging to Antoinette Hall. The county auditor was directed to draw a warrant for $1674.41 in favor of the Orange County Title Company for the purchase of certain property belonging to Rawl Madsen and Maud Madsen. In the discussion that followed, it developed that there were other advantages in walking on the left side of the street or road, as it is pointed out that by following this practice the driver of a vehicle is faced at an intersection where his signal may be seen. On the country road it is said to be always advisable to walk on the left side facing the driver so that in case of a clouded windshield or some other distraction on the part of the driver, the pedestrian may step out of the way. It is urged that this is particularly good advice for walking on the highways at night. President Coolidge lost his overcoat in a Chicago hotel, but he was lucky even to get away without an overcoat. Experts at Washington say that more weather data is needed for aviation. But what it really needs is not more but better weather. tered at the meeting. There was a varied program during the whole week including discussion of topics important to the whole western part of the United States. There were a dozen or more addresses by noted authorities on the subject of water and power conservation, the greatest subject of the age. A resolution was passed asking railroad companies to start their excursion rates from the east a month earlier than heretofore in order that accommodations here may not be so much congested during the convention season. It was pointed out that a longer period would also allow a greater number of people to visit the Pacific coast. Another important act was a decision to take charge of the Stanford university school for commercial secretaries. This school has been in existence for some time, but the United States Chamber will co-operate to make it more useful in the education of organization men.
