Another Scheme For River Control Santa Ana Citizen Suggests Dredging of Channel Dredging a channel in the Santa Ana river 15 feet deep and 100 feet wide from Yorba to the ocean, at an approximate cost of $200,000, is suggested by Stanley Clem, manager of the Santa Ana Lumber Company, as a temporary solution to the Santa Ana river control problem until the project of a dam at Prado can be carried to completion. Clem is the owner of one of the pieces of property flooded by the Santa Ana river in the district immediately adjacent to the Chapman street bridge, and he advanced the channel plan at a meeting of citizens of Anaheim, held Monday night for the purpose of discussing organization for river protection for than immediate vicinity. The Santa Ana man suggested that the problem was one in which the entire county should co-operate, and with this in view Clem was made a member of a committee appointed to draft plans and specifications for river control and present them at the next meeting in the Anaheim high school auditorium. "Since the flood waters have almost submerged me, I have had considerable time and food for thought," Clem said. "So far as I know, there never has been a genuine, concerted county-wide effort to devise ways and means to protect the county, the richest and most beautiful county in the United States, from flood waters, which come down the Santa Ana river in periods of extra heavy rainfall. "I am of the opinion that there never has been any real constructive work to protect the citizens and property from this ever-present monace. I say this in the spirit of constructive thinking and with malice toward none." "The right kind of thinking was being done by the group of Anaheim men who gathered in the high school auditorium there Monday night and discussed plans for the organization of a district for protection of lands in that district. However, I believe that organization of a number of districts for protection to keep them in repair. They would prohibit any possibility of creating more land on each side of the river and would make the situation more hazardous, as those along the river would be in constant danger of damage by a break in the river. "It is about 22 miles from Yorba to the ocean, and it would cost in the neighborhood of $2,200,000 to build protection walls. "I am convinced that a more simple and permanent result can be accomplished for less than one-tenth of that sum. The idea is to make water run where it should run, and the only way to do this is to dredge the river from Yorba to the ocean. Some people may smile at this, but in Illinois I have gone through floods many times worse than the one we have just experienced. Do they build walls in Illinois to make water run up hill? They do not! They find it cheaper to help the river cut the channel and keep it open. "Should a channel be dug in the Santa Ana river 15 feet deep and 100 feet-wide, it will be sufficient to carry the water and the channel will keep itself open. Any engineer will verify that statement. "Levees built from the dredged material could be strengthened and made reasonably permanent by planting with willows."

Fisherman Gets Three Sea Prizes Three unique fish were brought ashore at Newport Beach Monday by Rich "Shorty" Gunther, well known fisherman. Gunther has captured many unique sea prizes during his many years fishing experiences at Newport Beach, but never before has he brought in three such queer specimens. His catch consists of a pin fish, a ribbon fish and a rabbit shark. A channel cod, a small brilliant red fish with eyes as big as a dollar, lent color to the collection. The pin fish captured by the fisherman is fully six feet in length, yet it is no larger around than a lead pencll. Gunther declares the pin fish weighs less than three ounces. The ribbon fish is nearly 30 inches in length, nearly flat and about two inches wide. It has an extremely small tail and is black in color. The rabbit shark, so named because of the shape of its head, is a highly colored fish. The specimen captured by Gunther is about 15 inches in length. The shark is equipped with a stinger on its back and a long tail. The shark has extremely large fins. All of the fish were caught in deep water, according to Gunther, who declared that his lines were set more than 1200 feet deep. Gunther caught a 16-foot shark off the Newport Beach coast several Mrs. Rodgers had been living with her husband, a Santa Fe Springs oil worker, in their home in a subdivision north of Buena Park, but because of flood conditions in that district had been visiting in the home of Mrs. Peacock, it was learned.
