LOCAL BREVITIES The harbor bond issue of $500,000, which will be voted on at Newport Beach on February 14, is attracting a great deal of attention. It is shown by figures at the city hall. During the past three months, more than 250 families have established residences in the harbor district in order to vote on the issue. It is reported. Registration in Newport Beach has jumped from 1200 to more than 1450, according to reports, and Stuart Cundiff, head of the water department, announces that more than 250 new water taps have been connected during the past few months. There are now more than 2000 water consumers in Newport Beach. Masonic Homes of California, a corporation, has brought action in superior court against Florence E. Cole, Jerome C. Seeley and others, to foreclose a $500 mortgage against property consisting of 1.15 acres in Anaheim. The mortgage, originally held by Mr. and Mrs. John Keyes, was purchased by the plaintiff, who is represented in the court action by Attorney William P. Webb, Jr. John C. Hill, 67, of Fullerton, died Tuesday night while visiting in the home of Ben Baxter. Mr. Hill was a brother of J. T. Hill, prominent Fullerton resident. The body is in the Seale undertaking parlors, in Fullerton. Funeral arrangements have no been made. Mr. Hill was a member of the Knights of Pythias lodge in Clayton, N. M. Death was caused by a heart attack, it is said. No inquest will be held. Mrs. Fannie Lyon and Miss Margaret Higgins of Hollywood spent Sunday and Monday visiting friends in town, the guests of Mrs. Jane D. Helmsen. Mr. and Mrs. Fred Backs and Miss Florence Backs attended the presentation of "The Miracle" Saturday afternoon in Los Angeles. Ruth Hemmerling and Alex Chavez, Anaheim, were cut and bruised in an automobile accident at the intersection of Magnolia and La Palm avenues, west of this city, at 7:30 o'clock, Tuesday night, according to a report filed at the sheriff's office. The injured were taken to a physician's office in Buena Park, where their injuries were given medical attention. They then were removed to their homes. A SAVING PEOPLE During 1926, American savings banks gained almost 3,000,000 depositors, and $1,582,140,000 deposits. There are now 46,762,000 depositors, with $24,636,192,000 deposits. New England has the largest percentage of depositors, with the highest per capita deposits, almost $500 per depositor. In contrast, New Mexico has but $19 per inhabitant and Texas only $31. Some of this apparent difference in saving is merely a difference in investment habits, and does not represent actual conditions of prosperity. But everywhere the savings bank habit grows; the vast volume of such funds shows that the country is amazingly prosperous, and that it has formed the savings habit and found it good. California has more than any other state cording to a report United States department尔or. Of the 19 nautical a total area of 11,742 California has four hauls of nearly 2000 square feet only is the Ountunate in the number these great national living things in the Yosemite national park three groves of big tree waterfalls.

FIND FACT WITH SERVICE ACG COURTESY GAS—THE PUBLIC'S UTILITY As a public utility, the Gas Industry is essentially a democratic institution. It serves with equal efficiency the home with its gas range and heating appliances, as well as the great manufacturing plant which daily consumes enormous quantities of this economical, dependable fuel. Its consumers and investors represent people in every walk of life, a true cross-section of the nation. Southern Counties Gas Company District Manager Victor D. Loly Audit Co.

Of the 19 national parks with a total area of 11,710 square miles, California has four having a total area of nearly 2000 square miles. Not only is the Golden State fortunate in the number and area of these great national playgrounds but it is pointed out by the touring bureau of the Automobile Club of Southern California, each of these parks is unique and distinctive. Sequoia, more commonly known as the Big Trees national park, embraces the oldest of living things in the world. Yosemite national park is a valley of fame famed beauty, having not only three groves of big trees but magnificent water falls. The smallest of California parks is General Grant, created chiefly to preserve the General Grant tree. 35 feet in diameter and more than 100 feet in circumference. The only active volcano in the United States is found in Lassen park, in the northern part of the state. Lassen peak, 10,460 feet above sea level, has become an observatory for volcanic action and is an interesting sight when it rumbles and emits smoke. California's four national parks were visited last year by 432,949 persons. Yosemite led all of the 19 national parks with 274,209 visitors. California's national monument, Muir Woods, headed the list in number of visitors of any monument in the nation with 97,426 visitors. It is noted in the government report that 1926 was a record year with a total of 2,287,828 visitors in all the national parks and monuments of the country. It is expected that with the growing love of the people for the outdoors and the improved facilities for motoring in comfort, 1927 will establish a new record for visitors. FIND FACTORIES Week-End Accidents On County Highways Man Supposed to Be Fatally Injured Near Olive Three persons were seriously injured, one of them probably fatally, in a head-on collision, at 7:30 e'clock Sunday night, on the Santa Ana canyon road, and a half mile east of Olive. Joe Castro, 50, 912 East Walnut street, Santa Ana, is in the Orange County hospital, suffering from a severe fracture of the skull. He is not expected to live. Jose Leon, companion of Castro, is suffering from severe cuts and bruises and Mrs. C. L. Kinder, 315 Pacific avenue, Long Beach, has a badly wrenched arm and cuts and bruises. Mrs. Kinder was in a machine driven by M. Wulffenstein, 315 Pacific avenue, Long Beach, when the car collided with the machine occupied by Milton and Joe Castro, Jose Leon and D. Muro, all of Santa Ana. Deputy Sheriffs Adams and Meyer, who hurried to the scene of the accident, reported that the Muro machine struck a third car, following the crash, and then overturned. A report to the effect that everal other persons, occupants of the third car, were injured and brought to Anaheim could not be confirmed. Polly Ross, 17, San Juan Capistrano, was slightly hurt at 6:30 p.m. Saturday, when the machine which she was driving collided with a car reported to have been driven by Dave McDougall, 617 East Seventeenth street, at the intersection of Chestnut street and Broadway. Miss Ross was able to file an accident report at the police station. Two persons, occupants of a machine said to have been driven by J. E. Martino, Los Angeles, were badly shaken up when their car collided with a car driven by S. J. Park, 931 English street, Santa Ana, at First and Garfield street, yesterday morning, according to a report filed at the police station. Mrs. Mary McCormick, Los Angeles, was reported slightly injured in an automobile accident at 2:40 p.m. Saturday, south of San Juan Capistrano, on the San Diego highway. She was taken to San Juan Capistrano, where her injury advocates have strong supporters in the fish of Richardson's bany, near Sausalito. Liquid refuse from the plant of Mason Distillery Company, near that place does not agree with the striped bass, smelt and other species of fish inhabiting those waters. In addition, it is a violation of California law to place any distillery refuse in the waters of the state. Hence the filing of a suit in justice court at Sausalito recently by the California Fish and Game Commission praying that offending manufacturers of liquors which once cheered, but now carry enough poison to make a jackrabbit split in a bulldog's face, be punished for the violation. Mason Distillery Company, one of the largest manufacturers of alcohol on the Pacific coast, has been under fire on similar charges twice within past year. Just one year ago the company paid the minimum fine of $200 for dumping its refuse into Richardson's bay. For a time the matter was diverted elsewhere, but recently a new copper pipe was laid into the bay. From this outlet wardens of the California Fish and Game Commission took samples on which to base their complaint. The distillery is also under fire from the federal government, which charges that the solids dumped by the concern are an obstruction to navigation. Three charges of this sort are now pending in federal court. 40 PER CENT "VELVET" A study of improved livestock compared with common animals shows the former to have about 40 per cent greater utility value. In studies of meat yields conducted by the United States department of agriculture, well-bred cattle, sheep and swine have been found to dress considerably higher than inferior animals of the same live weight. The department has statistics showing that the increase in yield ranges from about 5 to 10 per cent FIND FACTORIES ALL ACCEPTING BALLOON TIRES The New York show, where the industry's offerings for 1927 found first general display, brought out nothing revolutionary. A great ago there were more powerful motors, greater braking power, etc., as elements of novelty. This year more makers have come into that line, but no revolutionary designs or policies were on exhibition. Cars generally seem to have reached a high place of excellence and durability, which speaks well for engineers and designers. To the tire man the big thing about the show was the evidence everywhere that the car maker has taken the balloon tire to his bosom. This is really the first year in which a big majority of cars have actually been designed for balloon equipment. The balloon tire has proved itself to be a logical advance and betterment of the motor transportation system. It did so remarkably well, even when applied to cars not designed for balloons, that the designers are now giving the balloon full consideration. And the tire maker has advanced also, as a result of his balloon experiments and experience in the last few years. Right rims are now demanded as a proper setting, and it has been shown that the four-ply must give way to six-ply construction for real service, except for smallest cars. Tire makers were handicapped in their support of the balloon by the advent of new, peppy motors at the same time and of four-wheel brakes which brought new tire stresses and strains. So they quickly strengthened the early balloons by giving them two more piles or 50 per cent more ruggedness and balloon tires have presented no problem since. They have come to stay, and are being used largely in commercial passenger and freight carrying, as well as on private passengers. West Brothers, local India distributors, find that balloon sales are increasing, while the high pressure types are decreasing, due to the fact that nearly all new cars have equipped with balloons. India balloons are giving excellent service. Come in and let West Brothers explain about their line with the guarantee that is different. SAN JUAN CAPISTRANO A news report from San Juan Capistrano that John Forster has commenced the construction of another way. Miss Ross was able to file an accident report at the police station. Two persons, occupants of a machine said to have been driven by J. E. Martino, Los Angeles, were badly shaken up when their car collided with a car driven by S. J. Park, 831 English street, Santa Ana, at First and Garfield street, yesterday morning, according to a report filed at the police station. Mrs. Mary McCormick, Los Angeles, was reported slightly injured in an automobile accident at 2:40 p.m. Saturday, south of San Juan Capistrano, on the San Diego highway. She was taken to San Juan Capistrano, where her injuries were given medical attention, and then removed to her home. A report of the accident was made by William D. Bodle, Los Angeles. Cars driven by C. M. Vaughn of 1307 Corona street, Anaheim, and James Clemer, 119 West South street, were badly damaged when they collided head-on in the dense fog on Lincoln road, near here, early Sunday morning. The occupants of the machines were not injured. With Clemer were Victor Flemming, 1123 Lincoln road, and two young women companions, it was said. THE PUBLIC- LAND STATES California is one of the twenty so-called public-land states, which during each year receive great sums from the government and return large sums in revenues. Listing those states, for the money there spent and the amount returned, Secretary Work of the interior department has found California is the leader in each classification. The principal expenditures of the federal government in California last year, including items for public works, defense, education, health and recreation amounted to $112,643,635. The second state was Oklahoma, with $57,722,900. When it came to the receipts from these sources in the public-land states California led with $37,613,327. There are only three states in the Union that received more public money than California returned to the treasury. Again, Oklahoma is the second state in receipts. The population of the public-land states is more than one-fifth of that of the country. The total area is about 60 per cent of that of continental United States, and of it 37.82 per cent consists of public lands, national forests, national parks and Indian reservations under control of the federal government. When the receipts and expenditures are compared, it is found that the federal government gives approximately $2.50 for every dollar contributed by the states, though base the proportion is two to one. Leading the expenditures are departments which have little to do with public lands. The navy spent over $32,000,000 in California; the postoffice $27,000,000; and the interior department, with almost $16,000,000 is third. The postoffice returned more than was spent in their interests, as did the labor department and federal power commission. OUR INTEREST IN CHINA David Lloyd George, back in control A study of improved livestock compared with common animals shows the former to have about 40 per cent greater utility value. In studies of meat yields conducted by the United States department of agriculture, well-bred cattle, sheep and swine have been found to dress considerably higher than inferior animals of the same live weight. The department has statistics showing that the increase in yield ranges from about 5 to 10 per cent of the animal's weight. Furthermore, the use of better breeding stock shortens the production process, as a well-bred animal can be made ready for market in less time than a scrub. INTERCONNECTION HOLDS DOWN COSTS Electrical utilities have performed an unusual feat in making large property investments in anticipation of future demand without raising rates to the consumer, according to W. S. Barstow, president of the General Gas and Electric Corporation. "In the early days of the electrical industry, the unit of generating equipment was from 100 to 200 horsepower. To provide a reserve it was necessary to install a spare unit of from 100 to 200 horsepower. This investment was never productive, as the spare unit produced energy which could be sold only when another unit was shut down. The interest on the cost of spare units is part of the fixed interest charges of the entire plant, and is recovered in the sale of the total energy." However, as large systems expanded, it became evident that could they be interconnected, one large unit or possibly two, could act as a reserve for six or seven large systems. It further developed, diversity of demand exists between large systems; that is when current was required in one system it is not required in the other. These conditions have brought during the last few years a more rapid progress in interconnection known as connecting high tension power lines must be built, not for a present supply, but for a future supply, and therefore like the large-size spare generator, the amount of money invested in the lines for future capacity must be likewise absorbed in the energy sold. When all of the various factors providing for reliability of supply and capacity to take care of future demands are considered, the electrical industry must be complimented on the fact that in spite of this pronounced expansion of the industry to provide better service over large areas, no increase in the cost of energy to the public has been necessitated; and, in fact, the tendency has been in the other direction. The most important things to remember about the curing of hides are promptness and thoroughness. A piece of raw hide will spoil as quickly as a piece of raw meat. Also, like meat, if it is not thoroughly cured it will SAN JUAN CAPISTRANO A news report from San Juan Capistrano that John Forster has commenced the construction of another business block is another event in progress that calls vividly to mind the vast change that has taken place in San Juan Capistrano in the past few years. The old San Juan Capistrano was a dreamer's realm of romance. The spirit of the padres seemed to have enveloped the valleys and the hills with a peacefulness that was without end. Each day was like another. Qualmness and charm ruled. It will be remembered that when Richard Egan came to the place, in the middle '60s, he described it as in a world apart, and though it changed during the 45 years thereafter, those changes were slight indeed, and San Juan Capistrano continued quaint and apart, yet loved by all who had the good fortune to know it. In those days a Santa Ana newspaper often referred to the mission village as "the free and independent state of San Juan Capistrano." But there is no place in Southern California that has not felt the effect of the influx of people. Changes proved inevitable. Without arguing their desirability from the standpoint of those who are fond of romantic quietude, changes came and are coming, and it is a poor community indeed that cannot shape its course to new conditions. The opening of the state highway and the rapid development of motor travel brought about new conditions at San Juan Capistrano, and the new needs were presented. Conditions were quickly met. Changes have been rapid, and today we have a new San Juan Capistrano, a new and attractive San Juan Capistrano. And with the new San Juan Capistrano we have much of federal government gives approximately $2.50 for every dollar contributed by the states, though base the proportion is two to one. Leading the expenditures are departments which have little to do with public lands. The navy spent over $32,000,000 in California; the postoffice $27,000,000; and the interior department, with almost $16,000,000 is third. The postoffice returned more than was spent in their interests, as did the labor department and federal power commission. OUR INTEREST IN CHINA David Lloyd George back in control of the Liberal party in Great Britain, says a mouthful" when he makes comment on the Chinese situation: "Our real interest in China's trade, and the most valuable asset of trade is goodwill. The real struggle is between our traders and the Traders of Japan, Germany and the United States." This truth is now seen and given practical application in the capitals of these four countries. All, looking forward to the possibilities of future trade with n awakened China of much higher consuming power and also looking a little, we may hope, to friendly and disinterested co-operation with a great people—are now engaged in trying to persuade China of their good will and honest intentions, instead of shooting up the country in the old-fashioned way. It is pleasant to add that the United States has taken an honorable leadership in committing itself to this sane and decent policy. A New York man who once peddled ice is now head of a $10,000,000 merger. There is nothing more profitable than a pair of ice scales. the old, with the mission, adobes and green hillsides and pleasant valley. There is that of beauty and romance and quietude about the mission and the valley that no amount of motor traffic and restaurants and crowds of visiting tourists can disturb. With all that's new at San Juan Capistrano, the charm of the old remains and in no way holds back the enterprise of those who keep their community abreast of the times. TIMETABLE A. T. & S. F. By.
