The whole company then adjourned to the shady lawn of the residence of Mrs. J. D. Helmsen, where the ladies of the church had prepared luncheon. A birthday cake surmounted by fifty small candles had been made by Mrs. Glenn Wright to celebrate St. Michael's fifty years. Among the guests at the lunchcon were Rev. W. L. H. Benton, rector of Santa Ana; Rev. Thomas Walker of the Presbyterian church, Anaheim; Rev. Benjamin S. Haywood of the Methodist White Temple, Anaheim; Rev. Harry Moore of St. Andrews, Fullerton, beside Rev. Canon Browne, who had taken part in the service. Following the luncheon a number of short speeches were made, the rector acting as toastmaster.

He congratulated them on retaining the services of their rector, after he had been called to be canon of Laramie cathedral. Canon Browne gave some interesting reminiscences. He had worked over forty years in Southern California, starting the church in San Barnardino, and Pasadena, and other places. He spoke of the work of Dr. Trew, and Rt. Rev. W. B. Stevens, Coadjutor Bishop of Los Angeles, Delivered the Sermon; Many Outside Ministers Present; Congregation Entertained at Luncheon on Lawn of Mrs. J. D. Helmsen After Services ON SUNDAY, October 12, the fiftieth anniversary of the building of St. Michael's church was celebrated with services in the church and a luncheon on the lawn. Old members arrived from Los Angeles, Santa Ana, Orange, Whittier, Fullerton, and other towns to join in the festival. The services began with the Holy Communion, at 8 o'clock, and the children's service was held at 10 o'clock, 80 of the young folk taking part in various ways. The church was beautifully decorated. At the 11 o'clock service, with extra seats crowded into the building, the congregation overflowed the accommodations. In the procession, preceded by cross and flag, were the choir, the Rev. Canon J. D. H. Browne of St. Paul's cathedral, Los Angeles; the Rt. Rev. W. B. Stevens, D.D., coadjutor bishop of St. Angeles, and the rector, Rev. A. G. H. Bode. Canon Browne, who had preached in the church over forty years ago, read the lessons for the day, and Bishop Stevens preached the sermon. The choir sang an anthem, "Praise the Lord, Ye Heavens Adore Him," the solo parts being sung by Miss Freda Lumsdon. At the close of the service every one sang "We Love the Peace, O God." Bishop Steven's Sermon The bishop said: "Fifty years of church life in the old world would not seem a long time, but fifty years in the new world and in the newest part of it meant so many changes, that life is quite different to that of half a century ago. There were three principal changes: "The contraction of the world by new inventions for travel and the dissemination of news and opinion. "The coming of democracy, which was a very new thing 50 years ago. "The new view of humanity and of brotherhood that is expressed in social service. "Not everyone sees the relation of religion to these conditions. In a questionnaire sent out by a Columbia professor about the ten commandments, many answers implied that the first four commandments—which have to do with duty to God—had slight importance today, while the remaining six—which have to do with duty to man—were the really important ones. Some are leaving God out. But in the growth of Christian civilization the belief in a good God has played the most important part." Social Service Applying this to the new devotion to social service, there can be no worthy social service without the right view of God as Father, and all men as His children, and therefore brothers to one following the luncheon a number of short speeches were made, the rector acting as toastmaster. Bishop Stevens created a happy atmosphere, by some humorous remarks, and then praised the friendliness and good fellowship of St. Michael's people. He congratulated them on retaining the services of their rector, after he had been called to be canon of Laramie cathedral. Canon Browne gave some interesting reminiscences. He had worked over forty years in Southern California, starting the church in San Barnardino, and Pasadena, and other places. He spoke of the work of Dr. Trew, and paid tribute to the long pastorate of Rev. W. S. Dearing, who in spite of a crippled condition, had done more than any other man in the upbuilding of St. Michaels in the past. He also spoke in appreciation of the work of Rev. David Todd Gillimor, under whom the rectory and parish hall had been built. He hoped that St. Michaels would now take another big step forward. An enlarged church and parish hall always resulted in an enlarged congregation and church school. Rev. W. L. Benton of Santa Ana brought the congratulations of the "step-daughter" church of Santa Ana and also a kind message of good will from Mrs. W. S. Dearing, who was ill in a Santa Ana hospital. Rev. Thomas Walker of the First Presbyterian church of Anaheim, referred to the great influence which had gone out from the two churches in the early days over the surrounding country. This was the "Mother Colony," and the mother of the religious life of neighboring places. He said the present meeting had historic significance and would help the whole Christian cause in Orange county. He spoke of his sincere friendship for the rector of St. Michael's, and said Dean Bode's kindly loving way was the best way of Christian work. Rev. Benjamin S. Haywood of the Methodist White Temple made a gracious speech, referring at first to the fact that his church was a daughter of the old Episcopal Church of England, of which John Wesley was a minister. He rejoiced that Rev. Dr. Walker and Dean Bode and he and other ministers worked together in Anaheim in perfect friendship. They practiced real unity in good works. He brought the warmest congratulations of his people to the people of St. Michaels. Rev Harry Moore brought congratulations and a delegation of the members of another daughter of St. Michaels—namely St.Andrews, Fullerton. He said we are all getting together more and more now that many old reasons for separation are non-existent. Others who spoke briefly were Mr. Otto Des Granges of Fullerton, who told of having driven nails in the church when it was being built; Mr. H. L. Dearing of Orange, brother of Rev W. S. Dearing, who wished success and new progress to the church; Mrs. Otto Rust of Los Angeles, who spoke of the real religious feeling of 'the Pioneers,' and Mrs. Alexander Wright of Balboa, who as Miss Katie Bremermann, had followed the luncheon a number of short speeches were made, the rector acting as toastmaster.

Applying this to the new devotion to social service, there can be no worthy social service without the right view of God as Father, and all men as His children, and therefore brothers to one another. Without religion behind it, social service will fail. Democracy Applying the religious principle to democracy, the bishop said we have been told by thoughtful observers—among them John Drinkwater, who wrote the great play, "Abraham Lincoln"—that we were fast becoming made all in one mould. We all see the same moving pictures, read the same news, and spread the same opinions. A thoughtful young man may differ from the average opinion only at his peril, "Now," said the bishop, "the follower of the principles of the crucified Christ cannot be bound by the opinions of a society which does not put religion first. The Christian should not be drawn down into an average mould, but stand for something higher." Members of St. Michaels The bishop made a strong appeal to the members of St. Michaels to stand in the community as witnesses to religion and to God's will in their city. Those who had been members in the fifty years now passed undoubtedly had a strong influence in producing a Christian civilization here. In the new conditions this influence was needed more and more. No matter how much good work the members had done in the past, they must not lay down the work. Their church stands in Anaheim as a witness to God. They must continue to do their part, and help St. Michaels to apply the religion of Christ to all new conditions as long as they have strength to do it. Luncheon at Mrs. Helmsen's After the service, congregation, choir and clergy gathered beside the church, Others who spoke briefly were Mr. Otto Des Granges of Fullerton, who told of having driven nails in the church when it was being built; Mr. H. L. Dearing of Orange, brother of Rev. W. S. Dearling, who wished success and new progress to the church; Mrs. Otto Rust of Los Angeles, who spoke of the real religious feeling of 'the Pioneers,' and Mrs. Alexander Wright of Balboa, who as Miss Katie Bremmann, had been an active worker in the earliest days. The company sang "Auld Lang Syne" and was then dismissed by Bishop Stevens, who pronounced the benediction. Republicans to Meet At Fullerton Tonight The county Republican central committee, Dr. R. A. Cushman, chairman, will meet with the Young Men's Republican Club of Orange County at 6:30 o'clock Thursday night, in McFarland's cafe. Fullerton, to discuss plans for speakers and rallies in the present campaign. The joint meeting was announced today by Stanley Reinhaus of Santa Ana, president of the young men's club. "All lines of individual cleavage have been removed by the primary election, and it now is our duty to put the Republican candidates over, regardless of whether our personal favorites succeed or not." Reinhaus said. It was indicated that a resolution, indorsing all of the Republican candidates on the county and state tickets, would be introduced and adopted. Reinhaus urged all good Republicans to attend the banquet and to make reservations with him or Jack Wallace, secretary, in Santa Ana; M. R. Benson, in Orange; L. R. Blodget, Huntington Beach; Samuel Collins, Fullerton. Have liver frequently—any kind is good, and adds to the day's supply of minerals and vitamins.

Congress has to March 4, and the strenuous letter will all the eastern states and friends in easy to their representation to vote for the bill is not delayed.

Congressman Phil D. Swing, who is a Leglionnaire, was the guest of honor, and made the principal speech of the evening. His talk was chiefly on the Boulder dam project. He believes that the pending bill, creating a fund for construction of the dam, will be passed at the coming short session congress. The House committee has reported favorably on the bill by a vote of 12 to 3, he reported, and stated that it was his opinion that the bill would be voted out of the House of Representatives in December with no more than five votes against it. Swing pointed out the fact that there was strong opposition to the bill, however, especially in Utah and Arizona. He said that the Arizona opposition was based on the theory that, because the Colorado river flows through that state, the stream is primarily Arizona water. "It is just a case of where they have come to the conclusion. We have some thing you want, therefore, how much will you give us for it?" Swing said. He stated that Arizona wanted a royalty of $2 per horsepower generated from the stream, which would be approximately $1,500,000, enough to pay the expenses of the government of the state, and as there were three other dam sites that could be used, further along the stream, Arizona wanted to establish a precedent and collect from all. If this could be done, he said, the state would make enough money to relieve all of its citizens of taxes, and even offer a premium for new citizens to come there and live. The other six states affected by the river have virtually agreed to cooperate with California of the project, he said, as they have been given the assurance that, when ready, they will have a right to use their part in the water, roughly estimated at one-half. These states claimed the project would be equally beneficial to them, as well as California. "The greatest danger we face at this time is the fact that the next session of congress is a short one, being in session only three months, and a postponement of a vote on the bill would mean that we will have to start all over again." Swing declared. Congress has to finish its session by March 4, and therefore he urged a strenuous letter campaign throughout all the eastern states, urging relatives and friends in eastern states to appeal of the Fullerton city council. Frank L. Purinton, mayor of Santa Ana, was named vice-president of the organization. The office of secretary went to Harry Welch, secretary of the Orange County Harbor Chamber of Commerce. Harry D. Riley of Anaheim was elected treasurer. The following committees were appointed to carry on certain activities in connection with the campaign: Land committee—To investigate and report on ownership of beach frontage in the harbor district—B. H. Sidnam, Anaheim; N. M. Launer, La Habra; J. A. Reagan, Villa Park; Harvey Gardner, Santa Ana; Richard Gregory, Fulerton; Roy Peacock, Laguna; W. J. Carmichael, Fullerton, and C. Echenlque, San Juan Capistrano. Finance committee—W. E. Emery, Fullerton; A. B. Roussela, Santa Ana; Ben Cope, Balboa; J. A. Beek, Balboa; P. L. Purinton, Santa Ana, and J. P. Greeley, Balboa. Organization committee—S. W. Stanley, Tustin; Dr. C. G. Huston, Costa Mesa; A. Anderson, Brea; R. B. Leach, Fullerton; O. T. Stephens, La Habra, and Dr. J. D. Thomas, Olive. Publicity committee—Sam Meyer, Newport Beach; Frank Mason, Brea; Edgar Johnson, Fullerton; Henry Schmidt, Buena Park; E. Merle Husong, Santa Ana; L. H. Loudon, Anaheim, and A. V. Douglas, La Habra. The greater portion of the meeting was given over to discussion of campaign measures. It was added that those opposed to the bonds have instituted a thorough investigation of all private beach holdings in the harbor district. To meet this attack, J. P. Greeley of Balboa, a large stockholder in the Newport Bay Investment Company, intimated that his company would be willing to deed over all of its beach frontage to the county or city of Newport Beach for a nominal consideration, reserving that portion on which the ocean bathhouse is located. Such action on the part of the Greeley concern, it was agreed, would go far to remove opposition to the bonds. Distribution of campaign literature, employment of speakers, who would address voters at a series of night meetings in all parts of the county, and staging of debates in the various high schools as to pros and cons of the proposition were among the means suggested for handling the campaign. Capitalists Lease Blue Light Mine Mining Operations to Begin in TO KILL HIM Son Warns Father as He Crosses Foot Bridge, Coming Home in Evening; Indian Springs With Revolver, but Old Man There With the Goods; Davis Attempts to Draw Gun, but Barham Beats Him to It ANOTHER of the picturesque characters living here in early days was Dick Barham, who defeated Dye Davis for city marshal, and as the result of the election, earned the enmity of the gentleman after the two had been friends for a number of years. Davis held had the office for several terms, and was one of the notable peace officers in this part of the state. He was fearless in his pursuit of civil-doers and organized posses, going after two early day desperadoes. Barham was on each occasion a member of the posse. He was handy with firearms and had the reputation of being the speediest man on the trigger in this section. Davis had held the office for several years when, as the Ploneers were about to celebrate the decisive victory of the Prussians over the French in 1870, he stopped the celebration on the street and compelled the Pioneers to move their anvil to adjoining private property. He knocked one of the old-timers unconscious with his cane and declared he would not permit the firing of anvils on the streets of the city. For this he earned the enmity of the Pioneers and in the succeeding election was defeated for city marshal by Barham. The two met at the Enterprise saloon, and Davis according to bystanders attempted to draw his ever ready gun, but Barham beat him to it and armed him. The latter was a much smaller and older man, but was quick as lightning. It was the first time Davis ever met his master in a gun play, and he shortly thereafter moved to Los Angeles where he was central figure in another shooting episode. Barham was very well liked by the early day settlers, and it was a common sight to see him marching a man much younger and larger than he to calaboose. There used to be great games of poker hereabouts, and these were participated in by Barham. Davis and others. Large sums of money changed hands, but probably the most interesting poker game ever recorded occurred at Anaheim Landing, where quite a business was done by the lighter company. Ships bringing freight down from the north transferred a portion of their cargoes to lighters, which came up to the wharf. Large quantities of freight were handled, and a force of well paid officials was employed by the lighter company. One evening a stranger drove up in a buggy and said he had lost his way in the fog. He said he lived in Los Angeles, but had become confused in the roads and did not know just where timed him from this day. The montane cliffs and heavy rain chased thousand squares reticely but far from the boys' concerning was a great poker and night and dollars chasing under these trees.

The mine is owned by northern Orange county men, Charles Eygabroad of this city being the president. A. W. Stickney, mining engineer of San Mateo; T. J. Jones, mining expert incharge of gold mines in Shasta county; W. D. Madge, milling expert for the Titon Consolidated Mines Company at Salt Lake City; Judge C. C. Craig, multimillionaire of Chicago, and George W. Plumb, Los Angeles law firm, are announced as the leaseseers. Contract for the leasing of the mine calls for the greatest development program ever attempted on the holdings. Guaranteeing the starting of mining operations 30 days after the signing of the lease, the new operators have advanced a cash forfeit deposit of $5000 and are to place $50,000 more in a bank, the latter to be spent at the rate of not less than $5000 per month in improving the mine equipment and carrying on preliminary development operations, Mr. Eygabroad says. Work is to commence at once upon the mill which is to be expanded and placed in shape to handle a minimum of 50 tons of ore per day, and the operators agree to have the mine working at this capacity within a period of four months. The new operators further agree to work not less than 200 shifts per month throughout the entire 20-year period of dress voters at a series of night meetings in all parts of the county, and staging of debates in various high schools as to pros and cons of the proposition were among the means suggested for handling the campaign.

A little game of poker was in progress, and after the stranger had been given his evening meal, he was asked whether he would take a hand in the game. He said he would have no objection to so doing. The game continued until the small hours of the morning, when it was found the stranger had won every dollar in the house. After an early breakfast he departed on his way, taking quite a considerable sum of money with him. It was still quite foggy, but he seemingly had no difficulty in finding his way to his home. It was later learned that the stranger was Lew Pollard, a professional gambler timed his arrival at the Landing on from the El Monte section. He had pay day, and he bore away with him the month's earnings of a number of clerks and officials. It was said that he carried away with him nearly a thousand dollars. The players were quite reticent in referring to the game, but the facts afterward leaked out, and the boys were victims of many a jest concerning the episode.

Los Angeles was a great gambling center, and many poker and faso games flourishing there night and day. Many thousands of dollars changed hands over night. To the credit of the sturdy Pioneers of Anaheim, be it said, none of them ever took kindly to poker. While they engaged in their social games at cards, there was no gambling for money. Barham had in his employ an Indian by the name of Indian George. He spoke English fluently and was a very handy man about the household. His besetting sin was liquor and, when under the influence of drink, he became a dangerous man. One evening, while under the influence of liquor, he went about the Barham residence, on Broadway between Los Angeles and Lemon streets, and said he was going to kill Barham on that gentleman's return home. He took a place behind some shrubbery in the garden and waited for his employer to cross the little foot bridge over the ditch running in front of the house. Guy Barham, oldest son of the city marshal, had been following Indian George about the premises during the entire afternoon. He heard what the Indian had said about killing his father, and when that worthy look his place behind the shrubbery, Guy hid behind a rose bush, within a few feet of him. Soon the footsteps of the old man were heard coming down the road. Barham had turned into Broadway from Center street and was approaching his home. His footsteps came nearer and nearer, until at last he reached the foot bridge, when Guy sprang up, calling to his father to look out for Indian George. The Indian sprang, with a curse, declaring he would kill Barham but the old man's gun was in the Indian's face in the flash of a second. The Indian was disarmed and taken to the city jail. He was contrite and penitent the following morning, and Barham felt constrained to overlook his misdeeds. The Indian had threatened to kill his employer before, but was disarmed each time. Mrs. Barham declared she would never have the Indian about her home again, and in this decision she was joined by her son. Barham gave him a purse of money and told him to be gone. He had been in Barham's employ for many years. He went to Arizona, and was soon killed in an altercation. When Major Max Strobel died in London, whither he had gone to arrange for the sale of Catalina island to a syndicate of British capitalists, Guy went over to the Strobel residence, which was just around the corner, and condoled with the Strobel boys, who were in tears at receipt of news of their GIVEN TO PUBLIC Stresses Need of Immediate Action to Prevent the Waste of Water; Gives Figures to Prove Value of Spreading on the Debris Cone; Survey of Santa Ana River Completed in the Field THE annual report of Francis Cuttle, president of the Water Conservation Association and boards of supervisors of Orange, San Bernardino and Riverside counties, has just been submitted. It covers the period from October 1, 1925, to September 30, 1926. Following is the report: The problem of securing and maintaining water supplies for domestic purposes and irrigation continues to be the most prominent problem before the people of San Bernardino, Riverside and Orange counties. The continued dry weather, the increase in population and the falling of the water plane (in most places) aggravate the situation. It should be recalled that the climatic condition of the three counties is naturally that of a desert country and, when it is understood that only 1 per cent of the water of the state of California originates south of the Teachapi mountains, and that 20 per cent of the irrigable land lies in the same region, and that the population in this area is increasing by leaps and bounds, it will be better understood why the difficulty in securing and maintaining the water supplies. The state engineer is authority for the statement that if all of the water which falls in Southern California were conserved and put to beneficial use, that we would have only a 25 per cent increase over what is now being used. This emphasizes the necessity for prompt and effective conservation works. Water Spread During the past year this association diverted from the Santa Ana river and Plunge creek 9370 acre-feet of water. Practically all of this amount was diverted during the month of April, 1926. The water level in the artesian basin, which is affected by this spreading of water has risen 6.18 feet during the years 1923-24-25, which no doubt was the result of the large amount of water spread in 1922; but during the spring of 1923 the pressure began to recede and today (September 30) the average height as shown by pressure above the top of seven wells under observation by this association, is 34.30 feet as compared to 39.67 feet for the season 1924-25. From this it is evident that the large amount impounded in 1922 has been drawn out. Conscientious evidence of the result of spreading water on the debris cone is found in the flow of water from two wells of the Riverside Water Company, located on Ninth street, San Bernardino. The flow from Poole well increased from 155 inches in July, 1926; to 185 inches in August; 1926: the flow most interestrecorded occurred where quite a the lighter comfreight down ferred a portion ers, which came large quantities of and a force of employed by the drove up in lost his way lived in Los some confused in know just where taken in, and his work each year, be placed outset. pomples 14 aggregate area on the "strike" croppings are in pace of approxiness the apex of development work ears has revealed into the earth nineers have estisus and feet, Mr. mine has a that dates back when first operases were made by cate.

When Major Max Strobel died in London, whither he had gone to arrange for the sale of Catalina island to a syndicate of British capitalists, Guy went over to the Strobel residence, which was just around the corner, and condoled with the Strobel boys, who were in tears at receipt of news of their father's death. Guy was a little fellow, and told the Strobel boys that perhaps if their father had not gone to London he would have been alive and well at home. Years therafter, Guy, himself, went to London on a business and pleasure trip. While in the English metropolis he was seized with illness and, following an operation, passed away. Dick Barham and his family lived in Anaheim for many years. He was very well liked by the Pioneers, being a courteous and kindly gentleman to all with whom he came in contact. After serving as peace officer here for a number of years, he moved with his family to Los Angeles, where he afterwards passed away. Next story, Theodore Lynill, champion debater. Dry cows will consume almost as much roughage as those in milk! Silage may well form the principal ingredient of the ration. If given 25 to 40 pounds of silage and about five to six pounds of clover, cowpea, or alfalfa hay a day, the cows will keep in good flesh and even make some gain. Those in thin flesh should receive in addition a small amount of grain. Some grain during the dry period is often advisable. If you want to know how to make good light bread, muffins, or biscuits, Farmers' Bulletin 1450, "Home Baking," will be helpful. It will also give you good recipes for layer cake, angel food, gingerbread, and numerous other good things. It is free for the asking while the supply lasts. Consoluous evidence of the result of spreading water on the debris cone is found in the flow of water from two wells of the Riverside Water Company, located on Ninth street, San Bernardino. The flow from the Poole well increased from 155 inches in July, 1926, to 185 inches in August, 1926; the flow from the Scaler well increased from 58 inches in June, 1926, to 91 inches in August, 1926. These wells are in direct line east and west with the grounds of the Water Conservation Association where water is spread. The fact that the increase of water in these wells came so shortly after water was spread on the debris cone would indicate that there is an open underground channel from the water spreading grounds fairly direct to these wells, and that the water spread in April must have reached the wells to cause the increase in flow. The writer knows of no other reason for the increase in flow of water in these wells. Water Lost Unfortunately, the heavy rains of April, 1926, came in such manner as to carry large quantities of slit, which, if diverted onto the spreading grounds, would fill up the interstices in the gravels thereby making it impracticable. If not impossible, to sink clear water when it is available. Assuming this water which was wasted, or lost, to be worth $10 per agre-foot to irrigators there is a loss of approximately $400,000; and assuming that this water applied to the irrigation of the intensively cultivated lands in the three counties would produce crops to the value of ten times the cost of irrigating water: would mean a loss of four million dollars by reason of the wasting into the ocean of this precious 40,000 acre-feet of water.
