Willard Smith, supervisor of Orange county; J. E. Ellott, forest supervisor; A. M. Stanley, secretary of the Orange county farm bureau; Robert Northcross, Orange county forester, and J. K. Munhall, district ranger, made up the party that visited the Altadena nursery and, in conference with the officials in charge there, learned much of the difficulties that surround the business of reforesting. It is proposed to establish a forest tree nursery at the Orange county park this fall. Present plans include a gigantic Arbor Day picnic held under the auspices of the Orange county farm bureau some time next year, when the young trees will be transplanted in the mountains.

He was on duty at all hours, and once he laid hands on an offending culprit, that individual was marched straightway to the calaboose. He was arresting officer, prosecutor and jury, high advisor to the court, and once on the track of an evil-doer, had no difficulty in landing him in the county jail. He claimed to have been a member of the Louisiana Tigers in the war between the states, and had many a story to tell of his valorous deeds during that struggle. He claimed to be afraid of no man, and was one of the features of the early day history of the town. He was invincible in a political fight, could not be beaten at the polls, and only laid down the dignity and emoluments of his office when he was called into another and a better world. When periods of frost were threatened, his trusty thermometer, carried securely in his hip pocket—his usual package removed to make room therefor—he observed on his numerous inspections of the devise that the weather continued to be singularly warm during the night, and when the morning hours brought a killing frost and he was snugly tucked away in his little bed, he explained that the temperature must have suddenly fallen in the after part of the night. Of course he denied the details of this wicked story, declaring it was merely propoganda to defeat him at election and adding that if a frost were to come, how the devil could he stop it, anyway? One evening at the West Anaheim depot, he sustained an off-tackle buck by the pilot of the engine, which was slowing down for a stop at the station. He was thrown several feet off the track, but sustained no injury, and claimed that stories current to the effect that he wished to arrest the engine were false and malicious as they could be. When men were kept at work late at night, he offered to see safely home for a small stipend of 50 cents per week. When fires occurred late at night, and he was home sound asleep, he declared that he could not be expected to be on duty during the entire day and night. It was said of him that when rains were falling he would find a convenient haven of refuge at sundry places down the street, where he could toss off a beaker of the gambrinus with more grace than any man in town excepting Dr. Ellis. Who can ever forget this hand. Voters informed him they were sick and tired of Bohn and were most anxious to beat him. He returned to headquarters, saying he felt that he would win the fight. Everybody wanted him, everybody was opposed to Bohn. He continued his campaign until he had seen more than half the voters in the city, and while he had received assurances of support from everyone, declared this house to house canvass was repugnant to his sensibilities and would do no more campaigning, for he had the election won anyhow. He was told that he would have to see every voter in town, for sometimes dead things crawl and people at times quite forgot their promises on election day. He declared he had never heard of such a thing, and once terms and conditions, and he felt that voters who had promised him their support should come across and deliver the goods. The boys advised him that he must keep on with his campaign work, but he replied that Bohn had done no campaigning so far, and that he had probably given up the contest. He was informed that his opponent was considerable of an uncertain quantity around about election time and that he had always been most successful in getting votes into the ballot box. He consented to continue the campaign, and in a few days had interviewed every voter in town. Every voter had promised him his support; no one wanted his opponent; all were tooth and nail opposed to him. They all declared that he had been there long enough. He had carried his thermometer around in his hip pocket when a killing frost was predicted; he had been at home in bed when the last fire occurred, late at night, and a bad conflagration might have ensued unless others had rung the fire bell; his butting into the engine at the West Anaheim depot was not to his credit, and while everybody was glad he had escaped uninjured, the occurrence did not fit in well with their sense of proprieties. He declared that he would sweep the town unanimously. He was told that sometimes men proved to be backsliders, and that he must now go all over the field again and ask the voters who had pledged him their support to get out and work for him on election day. This he thought was quite unnecessary, but he was prevailed upon to do as he was bidden, and he soon covered the township again.

It was said of him that when rains were falling he would find a convenient haven of refuge at sundry places down the street, where he could toss off a beaker of the gambrinus with more grace than any man in town excepting Dr. Ellis. Who can ever forget this old-time defender of the faith, now gone to his eternal reward in the skies? Take him for all in all, perhaps we shall not look upon his like again. Julius Volght was a well-known and highly educated gentleman living here in the early days. He was a linguist, knowing many languages, ancient and modern, but he had rather an imperfect neckhold on the English vernacular. He applied for a position as principal of the public schools and produced many excellent references as to his character and ability, but the trustees decided, because of his imperfect handling of the language, to employ another man. Mr. Volght complained bitterly to his friends, saying the school trustees were evidently averse to his earning an honest living. He was told that an election was coming on, and that he was just the man to beat Bohn for constable. He said that was like descending from the sublime to the ridiculous, from principal of the grammar schools to an every day minion of the law; but when told that the work was easy and the pay and emoluments good, he finally consented to make the race. He was told by the boys that it would be necessary for him to get busy button-holling the voters and soliciting their support at the ballot box. This he said he could not do. It revolted him. He could not ask a man to vote for him, but when informed that this was the way elections were run in this country, consented, much against his desires, and set forth early the next morning to interview the dear people. He was rejoiced to find assurances of strong support on every Anaheim depot was not to ask and while everybody was glad he had escaped uninjured, the occurrence did not fit in well with their sense of proprieties. He declared that he would sweep the town unanimously. He was told that sometimes men proved to be backaliders, and that he must now go all over the field again and ask the voters who had pledged him their support to get out and work for him on election day. This he thought was quite unnecessary, but he was prevailed upon to do as he was bidden, and he soon covered the township again. Not only did the voters promise to support him, but they assured him they would get out and work like beavers for him. The election was as good as won, he thought. It was all over but the shouting. A week or two before the election Bohn came out as a candidate to succeed himself. He said he had been laying low just to see what the other fellow was doing. He was wise to everything his opponent had done, knew that every voter in town had promised him his support and had also assured him each would get out and work for him. But this was not the first campaign that he had ever been in. Things had looked worse before, and he relied upon his record as being an unbeaten and unbeatable man. He attended a fandango and danced with all the pretty girls until the late hours of the morning. His hair was filled with minute confetti, where the pretty girls had smashed egg shells containing it upon his top piece. He bought ice cream and lemonade for them. He attended a concert of the Liederkranz, singing double bass in ensemble and rendering several solos. He went to a picnic and was floor manager at an afternoon dance. He was present at a barbecue and assisted in cooking and serving the meats. He was the whole thing everywhere. To his creditors he confided that if he lost out on election day, he could not pay his bills. He was a whirlwind at campaigning. He was willing to bet money that he would skin Mr. Volght alive. Finally, election day dawned in all its splendor. Mr. Volght walked down town clad in his best suit of clothes.

Deputy-Sheriff Dan Adams and Clyde Flower, jailer, sent to Venice, are said to have been taken from the two business houses. Adams returned to the beach resort Wednesday with members of the two firms for further identification of the alleged stolen goods. Schaffer and Hanson were arrested by Venice police in connection with the theft of an automobile, it was said. Their arrest led to the discovery of articles reported stolen in as many as 20 burglaries in Orange and Los Angeles counties, according to the report received here. Because Los Angeles authorities want Hanson and Schaffer on several burglary charges, it is not thought that the men will be re- GITY TRUSTEES ORDER MORE PAVING PORTIONS OF OLIVE, SYCA-MORE, CYPRESS AND CLEMENTINE Annexation Petition Accepted, and City Attorney Holden Instructed to Prepare Ordinance Calling Election; Library Report Shows Surplus Fund of More Than $6000; Engineer Steward Files Expense Report CONSTRUCTION of 400,000 square feet of paving has been ordered by the city trustees, specifications for it having been approved by the board at Thursday's meeting. It includes Anaheim Recreation Club held on South day night. Former member produced eight people Monday for this secretary's ports. Last year Rector O. Taylor, land, Schwainfine Pember and members Arvel M. George Trombley and Bob Schochairman Walter house Meyer committed to be added URGING the perpetuation of our forests as the only means of saving the country eventually from a shortage of water and the consequent evils following such a calamity, Francis Cuttle of Riverside was the chief speaker at the regular luncheon of the Llons Club at the Elks clubhouse Friday. Mr. Cuttle is the foremost authority on the water problem in Southern California. He is president of the Riverside Water Company, of the Southern California Water Conservation Association, and of the Tri-Counties Reforestation committee. Mr. Cuttle declared that the future prosperity of the country depends upon the preservation of the forests, and that in the course of time, unless steps are taken speedily toward restoration, the country will be entirely deforested. In part, Mr. Cuttle said: "Continuance of our national wealth directly upon the perpetuation of our forests and the stability of our water supply." The United States government spends more money in one day in maintaining the navy than it spends in nine years in reforestation work." The United States at one time had more than 8,000,000 acres of wooded land, whereas there are now but approximately one-third of this area in forests. "We are now restoring our forests only 25 per cent at fast as we are cutting them down, and if we continue at this rate, our country will soon be entirely deforested and our national wealth and prosperity seriously threatened." In the early history of our country, wherever heavily wooded areas existed many flourishing towns grew up which have now been almost entirely depopulated owing to the destruction of these forests. "The first great center of the lumber industry of the United States was in Maine. With the depletion of the forest lands in that state, it moved to New York, Wisconsin, Washington, and now is in Oregon, where the last stand is being made. "The future wealth of our country, and the future of all present flourishing communities depends largely upon our foresight in instituting a comprehensive plan of reforestation." Mr. Cuttle suggests that the various service clubs could better serve their communities if they joined forces and worked for the reforestation and water conservation movement. Mr. Cuttle also spoke to the Rotarians at their luncheon Monday, his subject being the conservation of water. He intimated that Southern California was nearing the limit of its growth unless something was speedily done to URGE NEW WAR ON MEALY BUG Citrus Men Stress Need of County Solons Helping Spread of the mealy bug through new citrus territory each year in Orange county is noted as a serious menace to the industry, and the county should have larger facilities for producing "crips," the ammunition used by growers in warring against the mealy bug. This was the tenor of resolutions forwarded to the county supervisors in Santa Ana by the Orangethorse Citrus Association, through Manager A. S. Swank, and the Northern Orange County Citrus Exchange, through Manager Dale R. King. Both organizations urge action toward securing larger insectary facilities for the production of crytolemus, commonly called "crips," the ladybug that feeds upon the mealy bug. An adequate supply of the "crips" should be assured, it is declared. Contracts have already been awarded for the construction of four new "crip" houses at the Anaheim insectery. The supervisors yesterday admitted the serious aspect of the situation and promised careful consideration of the matter. Ministers Organize For Campaign Fight Rev. Thomas H. Walker Leads Orange County Forces Plans for launching a county-wide educational campaign to work up sentiment against the proposed repeal of the state prohibition law, better known as the Wright act, as well as for the purpose to get out the vote for the defeat of initiative measure No. 9, to appear on the ballot at the coming November election, were adopted at a meeting in Ketner's cafe, Santa Ana. The Rev. Thomas H. Walker, pastor Schaffer and Hanson were arrested by Venice police in connection with the theft of an automobile, it was said. Their arrest led to the discovery of articles reported stolen in as many as 20 burglaries in Orange and Los Angeles counties, according to the report received here. Because Los Angeles authorities want Hanson and Schaffer on several burglary charges, it is not thought that the men will be returned here for trial. CONSTRUCTION of 400,000 square feet of paving has been ordered by the city trustees, specifications for it having been approved by the board at Thursday's meeting. It includes paving of a section of Olive street, West Sycamore and West Cypress from Lemon to Palm, and North Clementine from Sycamore to North. The paving is to be five inches in depth with asphalt surface. The paving program announced several months ago, includes many other streets, or sections of streets, and it will be carried out as rapidly as it is deemed advisable. After canvassing the petition signed by 44 property owners and voters in the territory adjoinning the city limits on the southeast, and cornering at Placentia avenue and Ball road, asking admission to the city, the board instructed City Attorney Holden to draw up an ordinance calling an election to determine whether or not the tract shall be brought in. The signers of the petition comprise a majority of the voters resident on the tract, consequently there is little doubt that the ballot will favor annexation. No date for the election was fixed, but this will be decided when the ordinance is presented. This will add almost a square mile of valuable land to the city. The report of Miss Elizabeth Calmon, city librarian, was received. It shows that the total cost of operating library during the year was $12,964.79. There is a balance of $6574.22 in the library fund. During year, 927 new patrons took out cards, and 1134 new books were added. This increases the volumes in the library to 93,000 and the card holders to 5389. The Johnson-Waters Gardens at Hynes negotiated a deal for the purchase of surplus water illies and goldfish in the city park, and the park superintendent was instructed to deliver them to the purchasers. Specifications for the construction of additional tennis courts in the city park were approved. The new courts will require nearly 15,000 square feet of concrete. The report of O. E. Steward, engineer in charge of maintenance on the outfall sewer, was received. Expenses at the screening plant on unit one totaled $649.16, apportioned among the cities and towns as follows: Anaheim, $104.64; Santa Ana, $307.57; Fullerton, $104.64; Orange, $98.49; Placentia and Garden Grove, each $16.91. Demands against the city approved by the finance committee aggregated $876.65, apportioned $7296.08 to the general fund and $1579.57 to the improvement fund. The demands were allowed and warrants in payment were ordered drawn. "The future wealth of our country, and the future of all present flourishing communities depends largely upon our foresight in instituting a comprehensive plan of reforestation." Mr. Cuttle suggests that the various educational clubs could better serve their communities if they joined forces and worked for the reforestation and water conservation movement. Mr. Cuttle also spoke to the Rotarians at their luncheon Monday, his subject being the conservation of water. He intimated that Southern California was nearing the limit of its growth unless something was speedily done toward increasing the water supply. "Our water supply has increased 25 per cent, while the population increased 71 per cent," he said. "The principal solution is to prevent all loss by controlling its use and protecting against all waste." Francis Cuttle has been invited to address the people at Buena Park on the evening of Monday, November 8. The meeting has been arranged by the Anaheim Chamber of Commerce, and a large attendance is expected. His subject will be water conservation. Total Registration May Reach 45,000 Books Will Close for November Election Saturday A last effort is being made by registration deputies to gather in the strangers throughout the county and get their names on the great register in time for the November election. When the registration books close Saturday, there will be approximately 45,000 names upon the official poll lists, according to a prediction by County Clerk J. M. Backs, registrar for the county. That means that about 5000 registrations will have been taken by Backs and his deputies since the August primary election, when the total stood at 40,509. The two remaining days of registration are expected to be extremely busy Plans for launching a county-wide educational campaign to work up sentiment against the proposed repeal of the state prohibition law, better known as the Wright act, as well as for the purpose to get out the vote for the defeat of initiative measure No. 9, to appear on the ballot at the coming November election, were adopted at a meeting in Ketner's cafe, Santa Ana. The Rev. Thomas H. Walker, pastor of the First Presbyterian church, Anaheim, presided over the meeting, which was attended by a number of Orange county clergymen and laymen interested in the enforcement of the Volstead act. The Anti-Saloon League of California was represented by Dr. S. T. Montgomery of Los Angeles, president of the southern section of that organization. To further the objective of the proposed campaign, as well as to insure co-ordinated effort, it was decided to form a country-wide organization, of which the Rev. Thomas H. Walker of Anaheim was named chairman and the Rev. S. Edgar, Santa Ana, secretary. In addition to these officers, there will be a county central committee, composed of the chairmen of the various local campaign organizations to be formed in each community in the county. Details of the campaign plans provide for a precinct organization of the entire county, a house-to-house canvass of voters, distribution of free literature by mail and through the membership of churches, young people's societies and kindred organizations and publicity activity. ones for the county clerk and his staff. The rush has not yet reached its peak, and those who wait until the last two days are likely to find themselves standing in line. Backs declares. The close of registration, October 2, is in compliance with the statute that requires voters to register 30 days before any election, to be franchised for such election. Expenses at the screening plant on unit one totaled $649.16, apportioned among the cities and towns as follows: Anahelm, $104.64; Santa Ana, $307.57; Fullerton, $104.64; Orange, $98.49; Placentia and Garden Grove, each $16.91. Demands against the city approved by the finance committee aggregated $887.65, apportioned $7296.08 to the general fund and $1579.57 to the improvement fund. The demands were allowed and warrants in payment were ordered drawn. ANAHEIM BOYS ENTER U. S. C. Eugene March, Robert Rundstrom and Fred Smith of Anaheim registered in the freshman class of the University of Southern California, Los Angeles, during Freshman Week, starting classes with the opening of instruction in all departments of U.S.C. on Wednesday, September 15. Freshman Week, inaugurated last year at Southern California and now being adopted by many of the leading universities and colleges throughout the country, is a "welcome week" of enrollment and acclimatizing campus activities especially set aside for incoming "frosh." Innovations at the Trojan institution this year include 35 new faculty members; lengthening the curriculum of the College of Dentistry to five years; including one year of pre-dental preparation; plans for a new clinical building on the campus; expansion of the School of Architecture, including a new modeling room, and the opening of an exhibition room, and the installation of a "model" Junior Senior high school on the U.S.C. campus, in joint connection with the college-preparatory department and the School of Education. President Coolidge planned his return trip to Washington so that he would pass through New York by daylight, and we don't blame him. That's no place to be after night.

ORANGE COUNTY MUST PROTECT ITS RIGHTS RANCHERS DEMAND THAT RIVER WATER SHALL NOT BE DIVERTED Representatives of Two Companies Explain Danger to the Supervisors; Oppose Employment of Attorneys at County Expense to Aid in Prado Dam Project; Claim Movement on Foot to Divert Water CHARGING that a movement is on foot to divert waters of the Santa Ana river from Orange county to the Moreno valley, San Bernardino county, representatives of the two big water Parent Teachers Meet at Central First Session of the Season Held Tuesday Afternoon The Central Parent-Teacher Association met Tuesday, September 21, in the Central kindergarten room, for their first meeting. Some forty ladies were present. President Mrs. Mildred Ashleigh presiding. Mrs. L. Schureman was hostess for the afternoon, serving light refreshments at the social hour. The new teachers at the Central school, as well as those returning for another term, were present and were introduced to the association's new official staff and the other mothers present. Miss Mattie Lou Robertson securing the most names. A report of the last school meeting and of the summer executive meetings by Mrs. H. L. Backs revealed the great interest of the Central officers, a goodly sum being raised by benefit parties. Two other officers have promised money for the treasury fund. The money is to provide furnishings for the rest room and office, and other things. It was also voted to give as attendance prize a small aquarium to the room having the greater number of mothers present at each meeting. An informal teacher's reception will be held next Tuesday evening, October 5, at the Central school. All parents and teachers are asked to attend this meeting. Membership Drive By Anaheim C. of C. Effort Will Be Made to Add 100 New Names to Roll Following the annual forum dinner of the Chamber of Commerce, to be held on October 8, that body will begin a drive for membership which is expected to add a hundred new names to the roll. Previous to this, a series of cards will be mailed to hundreds of citizens, explaining the aims and objects of the chamber and endeavoring water conservation and development. CHARGING that a movement is on foot to divert waters of the Santa Ana river from Orange county to the Moreno valley, San Bernardino county, representatives of the two big water companies of the county appeared before the board of supervisors Tuesday and entered a vigorous protest. H. H. Hale, president of the Anaheim Union Water Company, headed the delegation, and he carried with him a resolution recently adopted by the board of directors of the company, protesting against the payment of county money to attorneys for assisting in the Prado dam project. John Tuffree of Placentia also took an active part in the discussion. That Orange county should pay more attention to protection of its water rights along the Santa Ana river from invasion at the upper reaches and should pay less money for certain development plans and co-operative operations, appeared to be the view of the delegation, although no member of it spoke directly against the Prado dam. Several hot shots were taken at George S. Hinckley, Redlands city engineer, who is in charge of tri-county spreading operations in the San Bernardino mountains, which activities are partly financed by Orange county. Hinckley, the ranchers charged, behind the plan to divert water from the Santa Ana rivershed, at Mill creek and the Santa Ana river into Moreno valley. He is doing this while he is representing tri-county interests, including the interests of this county, they charged. Hale declared that "Hinckley is playing both ends against the middle." The information regarding Hinckley's alleged connection with the Moreno valley affair leaked out through Mayor Brock of Redlands, according to Tuffree and Hale. Hinckley became agitated when the information escaped, they said, but remained defiant and declared that there was no law against diversion of the water and that he intended to carry it through in spite of any efforts by anyone to stop it. "This is the man to whom Orange county is paying money to represent its interests," said Hale. Continuing, he declared that this county should watch out for infringement upon its water rights, such as the threatened diversion from Mill creek and the Santa Ana river. Water rights in San Bernardino and River-side counties have been badly "jugged," he said, and Orange county must be on the alert to guard against loss of the water that should rightfully come down the river. Engineers recently employed to investigate the watershed's resources and suggest means of conserving and developing water are telling nothing new By Anaheim C. of C. Effort Will Be Made to Add 100 New Names to Roll Following the annual forum dinner of the Chamber of Commerce, to be held on October 8, that body will begin a drive for membership which is expected to add a hundred new names to the roll. Previous to this, a series of cards will be mailed to hundreds of citizens, explaining the aims and objects of the chamber and endeavoring to convince them that all good citizens should enlist as members and assist in the development of the city. A force of solicitors will canvass the city for a week, and it is confidently believed the hundred names will be easily secured. It is hoped to increase the membership to at least 375. An effort will be made to enroll all persons engaged in business or industry of any kind. Secretary George W. Reid is planning to organize a junior division, composed of younger men, with a reduction in the annual dues for these members. Will Take Census of Anaheim Township Salaries of Justice and Constable Regulated by Population What is the population of Anaheim township? The supervisors have ordered a census of this and five other townships of the county which have shown rapid growth since the general census was taken in 1920, and the figures must be filed before the general election on November 2. The figures are necessary in order to determine the amount of salary the justices of the peace and constables will receive under the new law which takes effect January 1. It is believed that Anaheim township will pass the 20,000 mark, if all the noses in the township are counted. If it does, Judge Charles Kuchel and Constable Ed Marlon will get their salaries boosted to $175 per month. Should the census figures show a population of between 15,000 and 20,000, the salaries will be fixed at $150 per month. As Anaheim township contains the city of Anaheim, the flourishing towns of Buena Park and Garden Grove, and all the thickly settled rural districts surrounding the city, all of which have shown remarkable growth during the past five or six years. It is believed it will reach 20,000 now if an accurate count is taken. Based on the census of 1920, Anaheim township was classified as between 9000 and 12,000.
