Father and Son Barbecue Nov. 19 County Park to Be Scene of Big Gathering Plans for the great Orange county Y. M. C. A. Father and Son barbecue, which is to be held this month at the county fair grounds, were developed at a meeting of the county Y. M. C. A. executive committee. Harry A. Lake and Garfield Allen of Garden Grove are the committee on speakers and program, and they are planning a program that will be worthy of the occasion, which is expected to attract hundreds of boys and men from all over Orange county on the evening of Friday, November 19. Music, athletic stunts, entertainment by boys, and an address by a noted speaker are features of the program that is being arranged. Earl Campbell and C. E. Morrow of Orange and T. P. McKee of Santa Ana will serve as the committee on grounds, to see that seats, tables, lights and other facilities are provided. A. J. Raitt of Fullerton, with a committee yet to be nained, will have charge of the barbecue. It will be their task to provide a real barbecued meal that will satisfy the appetites of the crowd of hungry boys and men, and Raitt states that he is confident that this almost impossible thing can be done. The event will take place at the county fair grounds, near the county hospital, on Friday evening, November 19, with the barbecue starting at 6:30, and the program following at 7:15. It is expected that the program will be presented in the arena in front of the grandstand, where a large number may see and hear. While this event is being promoted primarily for the Y. M. C. A. boys, it will be open to the boys and men of the county in general, and any boy who can get a man to bring him, or any man who can find a boy to bring, may attend. Tickets are to be placed on sale throughout the county within a few days, and these will be sold in pairs, at the rate of 75 cents a pair. This low price has been set so that no one may be kept away by the cost. It is believed that a generous and WATER BOARD MEETS The regular meeting of the board of directors of the Anaheim Union Water Company was held Monday, with Directors Hale, Tuffree, Miller, Annin, Hansen and Brunworth present at roll call. Minutes of the last regular meeting were read and approved. Treasurer's report for the month of October was read and upon motion, accepted and ordered filed. Finance committee's report for the month of October was read and upon motion, accepted and warrants ordered drawn in payment of the various demands therein recommended. Director Annin reported for the Santa Ana River Development Company. Upon motion by Tuffree, seconded by Hansen, Attorney Head was instructed to take any steps necessary to prevent the Bastanchury Ranch Company from pumping water out of the watershed of the Santa Ana river and to prevent any other infringements on our water rights. Committee appointed to investigate dredging machinery reported as to their findings. Upon motion by Miller, seconded by Hansen, superintendent instructed to purchase a dredger for cleaning out the lower end of the Tuffree reservoir, and instructed to replace a section of the open cement ditch used as a by-pass around the Tuffree reservoir with a 36-inch pipe line. Upon motion, the following transfers of stock were granted: Five shares, A. J. Christleb to S. James Tuffree; 1½ shares, George S. Treher and Pearl Treher to G. W. Finch; 50 shares, Sarah J. Fay Estate to Theresa C. Fay, James A. Fay, Jane B. McKinley, Mary E. Barker, Alexander Fay, Charles J. Fay and Jeannette Strodthoff. Secretary reported that R. H. Wickeren had requested a land lease on a portion of the 40 acres on the corner of Placentia avenue and Orangethorpe. Upon motion by Tuffree, seconded by Miller, this was referred to the superintendent with power to act. THE POOR, POOR ROBBER Anent crime and sob sisters and mush, a reader sends in an entertaining yarn and puts a disturbing query. In the old days in England a wealthy handowner traveling across country sought to foll robbers by having his constant follow after the main part.

It looks other stand would have But there was no luck, the fire died down the slope, a lull advantage of at day o'clock word came had been hold close While this event is being promoted primarily for the Y. M. C. A. boys, it will be open to the boys and men of the county in general, and any boy who can get a man to bring him, or any man who can find a boy to bring, may attend. Tickets are to be placed on sale throughout the county within a few days, and these will be sold in pairs, at the rate of 75 cents a pair. This low price has been set so that no one may be kept away by the cost. It is believed that a generous and satisfying meal can be provided at that price. Preparations will be made to feed a great crowd. Tickets will have to be secured in advance, so as to enable Raitt and his committee to get their food supplies in sufficient quantity. M. E. Beebe of Anaheim, chairman of the Orange county Y. M. C. A., says of the event: "We hope to make this barbecue one of the biggest events for boys and men that our organization has ever set up in this county. We believe that it may be possible to bring a thousand men and boys together for the occasion. In fact, there are more than a thousand boys in organized Y. M. C. A. clubs in this county, so that there ought to be little trouble about the numbers." I am confident that we shall have a program that will interest and please all who come, and that the results of this great affair will be profitable to the men and boys alike." WATER MERGER The dream of three years has come true in the Hemet-San Jacinto valley, and the merger of water interests has been effected. This action has finally been taken with a unanimity and enthusiasm that is a striking example of fine community spirit; and now the way has been cleared for development instead of litigation and for a more unified and effective administration of water affairs that should make for economy and better service. The men who have worked on this proposition are entitled to the highest praise for their patience and perserverance, and the value of their work will be better understood and appreciated in years to come. An adequate water supply, well administered and preferably owned by the water users, is the foundation of the prosperity of any agricultural community in California, and this desirable end will now be realized in the Hemet-San Jacinto section. That achievement, important as it is, is not the only result, however. A spirit of community understanding and co-operation has been developed by this water merger campaign that will count in other things.

Progress of Big Fire Checked by Fighters Canyon and Mountain Blaze Now Under Control Though the progress of the Santa Ana mountain range fire, which has necessitated the hardest fight ever made by fire fighters in the county, apparently was stopped on the northern edge, but the flames Wednesday still were eating their way on the southwestern slopes of Santiago peak. Marshaled against the flames are hundreds of men, armed with shovels and axes. The fourth day of the battle opened with greater encouragement on the parts of the forest rangers than was felt either Tuesday or Monday, but they make no promises—anything might happen in the extremely rough country where the fire is raging. The fire started Sunday morning, at the Hathaway cabin, a half mile above Modijska's old home in Santiago canyon. After covering probably between 12,000 and 15,000 acres, the fire still is beyond control in the rugged upper reaches of the Santiago canyon. The progress of the fire toward Silverado canyon; which was menaced Wednesday, it is believed, was stopped Wednesday morning. This victory came like a fresh breeze into the camps and was passed along the firelines thrown around the huge cauldron. Tuesday afternoon, arrangements were made to meet the advancing line progressing toward the upper Silverado, Forest Supervisor J. E. Elliott and Forest Ranger J. B. Stephenson threw in reinforcements, including two truck loads of husky Indian boys from the Sherman school. These veterans of wars on flames in foothills and mountains went quietly into the fight. At about 9 o'clock came discouraging news. The fire, flaring high along the ridge, had broken through the line in three places. It looked as though another stand would have to be made. But there was no let-up. By good luck, the fire died down as it started down the slope, a lull that was taken advantage of at daylight, and by 6 o'clock word came down that the fire had been held alone that night. LOCAL BREVITIES Itew. G. G. Schmid of the Evangelical church, who recently attended the general conference of his church held at Philadelphia, has returned home after an absence of five weeks. October marriage licenses, although failing to keep pace with those of the preceding month, September, totaled 418, a gain of seven over the total for October, 1925, according to figures announced by County Clerk J. M. Backs. September licenses totaled 450, a record for that month. The regular meeting of the Lois Rebekah lodge will be held Friday evening, at 7:30 o'clock, in Odd Fellows' hall. District Deputy Mrs. Flora Crawford will pay her official visit to Lois lodge. All visiting Rebekahs cordially invited to attend. The second annual convention of the Republican Woman's Federation, Southern Division, was held in San Bernardino Saturday, October 30, Mrs. Florence Collins Porter presiding. Business of the convention occupied the morning session, with Buron Fitts addressing the meeting before luncheon. Hon. Herbert Hoover was the honor guest at the luncheon, and addressed several thousand people at the afternoon session, held in the municipal auditorium. Attending from Anaheim were Mesdames G. N. Fordling, H. N. White, Verna Miller, Wendling and Nellie E. Terry. TRAFFIC OFFICERS MEET Motor trips through California's scenic land of gold, the historic Mother Lode and "diggings" country, will constitute entertainment features announced today for members of the California Association of Highway Patrolmen and their families when they meet at Sacramento for their annual convention November 9-11. These trips, arranged by the division of motor vehicles and the Chamber of Commerce will take the visitors to Grass Valley, prosperous little mountain city, still the center of mining activities that date back to the days of '49; to Folsom and the site of the ghost town of Prairie City, where vast rumbl... in reinforcements, including two truck loads of husky Indian boys from the Sherman school. These veterans of wars on flames in foothills and mountains went quietly into the fight. At about 9 o'clock came discouraging news. The fire, flaring high along the ridge, had broken through the line in three places. It looked as though another stand would have to be made. But there was no let-up. By good luck, the fire died down as it started down the slope, a lull that was taken advantage of at daylight, and by 6 o'clock word came down that the fire had been held along that line. The fire was spread on a front of several miles across the southwestern slopes of Old Saddleback, which is made up of two peaks, the nearest to Santa Ana being Modjeska peak, and the further Santiago peak. Santiago canyon swings around the foot of the big mountains and tops in the saddle between the peaks. It is on the ridge running down from Santiago peak, which would be the southeastern ridge of the Santiago, that the fire still was making progress this morning, and it is there that the hardest fight was being made, with an uncertainty as to what might happen. The flames had eaten their way through heavy brush to within about a mile of the top of Santiago peak, on the south side. CELERY'S PREFERENCE While celery grows naturally on low, moist, well-drained soils, especially on the much lands of the northeastern United States, it can be grown on almost any type of soil, provided enough plant food is present and water is supplied during the dry periods. Most of the successful celery-growing enterprises, however, are located on the low-lying muck or the "hammock" soils. The much soils that are underlain with marl or some form of material bearing calcium carbonate are considered best for celery growing. Shooting has been unusually good in San Diego county this season, with more big ducks being bagged than in years gone by, according to recent information received from the touring department of the National Automobile Club. This is particularly true at Sweetwater, where drives are held twice each week, with many limits being brought in by shooters. In the Cuyamaca and Henshaw Lakes districts the weather still remains warm and duck hunting is only fair. With the first storm it is anticipated that ducks will be plentiful in these districts. There is a three-mile detour between Santa Ysabel and Julian, balance of roads in good condition. Mother!

It is estimated now, the secretary reports, that grazing on the public domain today saves a feed bill of $40,000,000 a year to the livestock industry. He believes this saving may be greatly increased by adding to the area where livestock can graze, simply through the establishment of the water holes. No extra expense to the government will be added by this new policy, because the livestock industry will be charged a sufficient rental for the use of watering places that will cover the entire cost. Senator Shortridge made an extensive study of the possibilities of developing the Mojave desert during the summer of 1925 and has been negotiating with Secretary Work ever since. The secretary referred the matter to the geodetic survey, which has recommended favorable action. Now the wire manufacturers of Europe are forming a big combination.
