OBSERVATIONS BY A CONTRIBUTOR NATURE OUT ON A FROLIC THE Salton Sea is slowly receding, and it is believed that within the next few years the lake will dry up. Twenty years ago the vast area contiguous thereto was an ocean caused by the Colorado overflow, and the water line on the nearby mountain sides are now plainly visible, showing the water's height at that time. The area of water now is said to be 20 miles in width at the widest part and 70 miles long, but is gradually but surely disappearing by seepage and evaporation. It is a strange experience to ride over paved highways in a valley that once was the bed of an ocean, and that same thing might happen again. CRYING OUT FOR HELP RESIDENTS of Imperial Valley are alarmed at the flood menace from a threatened overflow of the Colorado river. To delay work on the Boulder Canyon dam may be classed as an act of inborn hate and jealousy. That immediate relief from flood damage is needed no man can question. It is a national problem, and why the work of confining these flood waters is postponed is past finding out. Aside from removing the flood-peril, the impounded waters would irrigate thousands of acres of land, now lying unproductive. In the name of common sense and decency this commendable project should be rushed to an early completion. SEPARATING WHEAT FROM THE CHAFF A WELL-KNOWN Calexico farmer says, more in sorrow than in anger, that the day will come, and not far distant, when the famous Imperial Valley will be turned back into an area devoted in most part to dairying. It is said farmers get better results from that source.. This man says the raising of the various vegetable products which that valley is noted for is too uncertain for revenue, because the farmer—the producer—does not get enough of the profits for his labor. Much cotton is left in the fields because of the low prices, and disease ruins much of the cantaloupe crop. Recent experiments show that coffee plants thrive in certain valley sections, and perhaps that industry may grow to large proportions. Sweet grapefruit is produced in some parts, which could be made a profitable venture. But these two latter are in experimental stages.

The Imperial Valley is rich in spots from an agricultural viewpoint; but, nevertheless, a person hears dissatisfaction among the farmers because they do not receive more money from their ceaseless grind of labor. However, another man says all this is caused by overproduction and, as supply and demand is a good equation, maybe he is right. WHEN THE OLD EARTH DID A CHARLESTON THE earthquake that rocked the border towns on New Year's day, and again a few days ago, left one of them in a much damaged state. The one and two-story brick buildings were all more or less damaged—many left standing in dangerous conditions and ready to collapse at any time. Many women have become panicky thereat and as a result, it is said, a number of families have moved away. The brick structures were not built to withstand any quakes, and it is said class A buildings would have weathered the storm. Origin of the earth's tremblings remain a mystery, but an active volcano 20 miles below the border is being given credit for the disaster. A scientist says these quakes will occur at intervals for some months to come. TOO WILLING TO TAKE A CHANCE WELL-KNOWN banker says: "The tendency to spend more than is earned is encouraged on every side by tempting offers of credit. The difference shown toward economy is significant. It reminds us that our prosperity, our boundless natural resources and the countless opportunities for making money may have lulled us into a feeling of false security. Many are assuming the gambler's attitude toward life. Education, drawing on the wisdom of experience should furnish the corrective." EVERYTHING IS GOING UP AN ARTICLE in the paper says a woman's garter around her husband's neck came very near breaking up a house party. The occasion being a wedding anniversary of the couple over in Missouri. The old man was in the habit of wearing a sling-shot necktie, one of those ready-made bows with a rubber band. While the missus was dressing she hung one of her fancy garters on hubby's dresser. He thought it was one of the new hifalutin neckties he had received from Santa Claus. The tie band was done in pink with a bow of azure blue. When the card party was in full swing the wife finally got to the table where her husband had parked. All the guests were laughing, and when the wife lamped her garter around friend husband's neck, she almost fainted. SAILING, SAILING, OVER THE BOUNDING MAIN IT IS solemnly declared that within a few short years airships will carry passengers to foreign lands in commodious sleeping compartments. Now, that may be all true, but for a fellow to climb into bed, going 100 miles per hour in mid-air, he must of necessity have a steady nerve and Uncle Reuben inclines to the SAILING, SAILING, OVER THE BOUNDING MAIN IT IS solemnly declared that within a few short years airships will carry passengers to foreign lands in commodious sleeping compartments. Now, that may be all true, but for a fellow to climb into bed, going 100 miles per hour in mid-air, he must of necessity have a steady nerve, and Uncle Reuben inclines to the idea that he should also not let his insurance lapse. THE SHOCK ABSORBER IT IS said down in Mexico they make a drink out of cactus juice called tequila (to-kill-you). After one drink, it is on the cards, the imbiber can sit on the thorny cactus and not notice it. An old prospector, who once hunted in that country said, a teaspoonful of the liquid in a bucket of water made a fine tonic. GIVING HIM A RUN FOR HIS MONEY A FEW years ago, caroling of the female of the species, a line or two of a popular song had the words, "She may have his coat, shirt or hat, but never will she wear his pantaloons." Anyhow, it was something like that. But not only is she now wearing his pants; the fact is she is worrying the male from other slants. The female has turned bandit and robs the banks, and she even smokes cigarettes. WOUND UP LIKE A CLOCK A VERSATILE humorist mayor and droll merry-maker of the movie world does more to drive dull care away than anybody who ever came down the gangplank. He says things metaphorically that you can lock at as you wish, but there is always good natured mirthfulness hanging on the edges. He is not what you would call good-looking, but his presence drives away the blues and his quips bring a laugh or two out of you, if you haven't acute indigestion and love your neighbor. And above everything else, this witty former cowpuncher who rode the ranges is an expert gum chewer and believes in a square deal—the latter—that seems woefully lacking nowadays in the makeup of some men vested with authority in high places. And even though he doesn't ring a bullseye every shot, some critics say his stuff is buffoonery. Mrs. Hanna Speaks To Women’s Clubs Americanization Breakfast Held At City Hall Yesterday Mrs. Wanda Muir Hanna was the chief speaker at the meeting of the executive board, Orange County Federation of Women's Clubs, held at Los Alamitos, Thursday. Mrs. Hanna, who is the daughter of John Muir, post, said that two years ago a survey of institutions and children, who were wards of state or county, brought out the need for public interest in their problems. All state institutions are overcrowded, according to Mrs. Hanna, who contended that the situation rapidly is improving. She illustrated this point by telling of a number of public institutions where much has been done to correct the situation. To further illustrate Mrs. Hanna's talk on "Institutional Relations," Sheriff Sam Jernigan and Dr. A. C. Zaiser talked on conditions in the county jail and county hospital. Jernigan described the various quarters in the building; told of the daily menus; discussed the working and recreational hours of the prisoners, and finally described various characters with whom officers have to deal. Included in his talk were a number of interesting statistics relating to the various crimes for which the prisoners had been apprehended. Dr. Zaiser told of the work in the Orange county hospital and of the necessity for always being prepared to care for a great variety of cases. He discussed the size of the hospital staff and the need for enlarging the present quarters. The meeting was an all-day session. A business meeting was held in the morning, when reports and announcements were made. Included in the announcements were two by the Fullerton Ebell Society and the Newport Ebell Society. Each club will hold reciprocity programs, the one in Fullerton to be on February 18, and the one in Newport March 17. Mrs. C. G. Huston, county chairman Two Men Held on Burglary Charge Accused of Robbing Lamblin Home-on North Lemon Jesse Walling and O. H. Goss, accused of committing burglary in Anaheim, will face a jury in Superior Judge H. G. Ames' court on March 31, that date having been selected for the trial when the two men appeared and pleaded not guilty. The defendants are charged with entering the home of Mrs. Rose Lamblin and her brother, Hobart Blanton, at 615 North Lemon street, Anaheim, on January 31. According to testimony given by Mrs. Lamblin and Blanton at the preliminary hearing, they were moving into the house and had left some of their effects there before actually taking possession. Arriving at the house, they found the place had been ransacked. A rug, a robe, a suit of clothes, a pair of shoes and other articles were missed. Meanwhile, Traffic Officer Oscar Kelly of Anaheim had halted an automobile occupied by Goss and Walling, in the same block. Kelly claimed that he found the missing articles in the car, together with an automobile horn, some empty bottles and some bottles that were not empty. He took the two men into custody. In court Walling was represented by Attorney T. L. McFadden of Anaheim, and Goss by Attorney L. A. West of Santa Ana. Museum Proposed For County Park Clivic Societies Want Building to House Historical Relics A proposal for securing a museum for Orange county at an expenditure of about $25,000, in order to preserve the relics of the early days of this section, is receiving strong backing, according to Mrs. J. H. Summers of When you go to the museum, you don't have to think more of you if you do to strangers in other places. Fertilizer Company Helps Laboratory The campaign to secure funds for the equipment of the poultry diagnostic laboratory to be established in Los Angeles, received impetus by the receipt of a $500 donation from Otto Peterson, president of the Los Angeles Fertilizer Company. Mr. Peterson's donation came unsolicited, after he had seen the building in progress of erosion on the grounds of the Poultrymen's Co-operative Milling Association and asked questions regarding its purpose. In fact his donation came not only unsolicited, but he solicited an opportunity to give the money. The Los Angeles Fertilizer Company are manufacturers of meat and bone wrap, and their interest in the poultry industry comes through the sale of their products to the poultrymen. In his letter of transmittal, Mr. Peterson stated that he was anxious to see a profitable industry built up in Southern California, and wished the promoters of the laboratory the best of luck. The laboratory will be established in a building which is being erected and dedicated to its use by the Poultrymen's Co-operative Milling Association, of Los Angeles, who are also donating a ten years' lease to the lands. The state department of agriculture will provide for the veterinary in charge, and he will be assisted by the poultry specialists at the University of California. The members of the seven-southern counties poultry department of the farm bureau, of which Will S. Hatch of Tustin is chairman, have undertaken to raise sufficient funds to equip the laborora. Museum Proposed For County Park Civic Societies Want Building to House Historical Relics A proposal for securing a museum for Orange county at an expenditure of about $25,000, in order to preserve the relics of the early days of this section, is receiving strong backing according to Mrs. J. H. Summers of Fullerton, one of the promoters of the project. The suggestion, as outlined by Mrs. Summers, calls for the county board of supervisors to set apart 25 acres in the Orange County park for the museum building and grounds. "Orange county is rich in relics that are becoming valuable," Mrs. Summers said. "Many of these are being taken for display in the Los Angeles museum in Exposition park that could be kept here," it was claimed. "The glamor of the early days, associated with the Indian and Spanish settlers particularly connected with Orange county, should be preserved." The move to secure a museum for the county has received impetus by the possibility of obtaining the $1,000,000 exhibit that has been collected by Jonathan Tibbett of Riverside. Tibbett has offered his collection to any community which gives assurance that the relics will be cared for. There is no assurance that he will give it to Orange county in preference to any other section, it was said. However, if Orange county should meet the conditions that Tibbett made, that a building be provided for the museum and grounds secured for an Indian camp, it is held probable that no other section could offer such advantages, especially with the chance for thousands to view the display in the county park. Some of the relics that could be obtained for the exhibit are the first plows used in the county, and like articles. In the Tibbett collection is the first automobile driven into California. The county supervisors have received no written offer from Tibbett and, consequently, they can take no official action, it was said. Support for the project has been received from many individuals and organizations. Mrs. Summers declared George Rayner, secretary of the Santa Ana Chamber of Commerce, and Mrs. J. V. Kelsey, president of the Orange County Parent-Tacher Association, are in accord with the proposal. It is said. Organizations that have assured their backing are the Orange County Historical Society, the Native Daughters of the Golden West and the Fullerton Ebell, Mrs. Summers said. The head of the National Association of Merchant Tailors says that the American is the best dressed man in the world. And this of course, in spite of the tariff on woolen goods. Smudge Dispute Settled Amicably Tustin Residents and Growers Adjust Differences Co-operation between citrus growers, who believe in smudging, and home owners of the Tustin district, who have protested against smudging, has resulted in an amicable settlement of the citrus heating question in Tustin. A group of 15 citrus growers and home owners met in the First National Bank building, Tustin, and ironed out the difficulties. Home owners in the district had declared that they would sell their homes and move out because of the smudge evil. Citrus growers claimed that the smoke was better than losing their crops. The two factions recently appointed a committee of five, two citrus growers who favored the heating question, two home owners, and one disinterested person. The committee investigated all types of heating apparatus and submitted its findings at last night's meeting. The committee recommended the use of heaters which give off a minimum of smoke for replacements and new equipment. It was pointed out that there are 4500 acres of citrus land in the Tustin district and only 400 acres are protected by heaters. Telephone Service On Pacific Coast The Pacific Telephone and Telegraph Company announces that of the cities on the Pacific coast, Los Angeles leads in the number of telephones, with San Francisco second, and Seattle third. These are the only three cities that have over 100,000 telephones. Los Angeles had 298,960 at the time the figures were compiled; San Francisco followed with 224,527, while Seattle had 100,615. Next came Portland with 87,943, and Oakland with 73,418. The next five cities in order are Spokane, San Diego, Pasadena, Sacramento, and Tacoma. The total number of Bell telephones in these ten cities amounts to 325,741. This is more than there are today in France and Belgium combined, and, in fact, more telephones than there were in the three states of Washington, Oregon and California combined at the end of 1917. In 1902 these states had only 159,000 telephones, which isn't so many as any of these ten cities possess today, while the state of Washington had 31,447.

It was pointed out that there are 4500 acres of citrus land in the Tustin district and only 400 acres are protected by heaters. "The most important development of the co-operative movement is the planning for future protection, both to home owners and to the citrus growers," Felton Browning, chairman of the investigating committee, declared today. Browning stated that the co-operation shown by the Tustin residents and citrus growers would eliminate much of the trouble which has developed in other communities. Plans outlined for future heating in the Tustin district eventually should solve the smoke problem, Browning pointed out.
