Forest Service to Preserve Mt. Hood Permit to Commercialize Snow-Capped Peak Denied The snow-capped summit of Mount Hood, Oregon's most famous peak, is to remain a goal attainable only by those willing to essay the stiff climb in foot, as a result of a decision by Col. W. B. Greeley, chief of the United States forest service, withholding his approval of a permit requested by a commercial company to construct an online cableway to the summit of the peak, with rest rooms and lunch rooms at the top and midway stations. Colonel Greeley's decision was in line with the policy of the forest service to reserve some of the more beautiful and scenic areas in the national forests as nearly a natural condition as practicable, and characterized by one newspaper correspondent as a defense of Mount Hood against "the advancing wave of hot dogs." In deciding against the proposed cableway Colonel Greeley said: "I appreciate the reasons which have prompted a good many people and organizations in Oregon to endorse this project. There are substantial arguments in its favor as a recreational development that would serve many people and increase the tourist business. "On the other hand, I must confess a strong personal hesitation to approve the permit requested. This is partly due to the same sentimental regard for the sacredness of Mount Hood which has been expressed by a number of people in Oregon. It is not a question of how conspicuous or inconspicuous the projected cableway would be, or just what types of refreshment houses and other buildings for the accommodation of tourists would accompany it. It goes rather to the deep-seated regard or reverence that I believe we should preserve for mountain peaks having the grandeur and commanding position, both geographically and historically, of Mount Hood. It is impossible to deal with these spiritual or esthetic qualities of great natural features in tangible terms. Nevertheless, peaks like Hood, Beekeeperers Optimistic, Oranges in Full Bloom Honey plant conditions in Southern California are spotted, according to the monthly agricultural economics report to the agricultural extension service. On the coast slope of San Diego county some plants are starting a month early, with strong colonies full of wild plum honey; while a little further north oranges are reported a couple of weeks late, but in bloom. Swarming started before the first of the month, especially in overcrowded or single body hives, and is reported more active than last season. Much pollen is being carried to the hives, but little nectar as yet, except in occasional sections. The recent heavy brooding, cloudy weather, and light nectar flow seriously depleted stores. Some sage near the coast reported in full bloom, and beekeepers are optimistic over prospects for a large crop. Alfalfa bloom is reported to be much below normal. In central California colonies are reported unusually strong in young bees, and swarming has started. More rain is needed, however, for a good crop of honey. In northern California fruit bloom is about over. Bees in the valleys are working on alfilaria and mustard, and bees in the hills on manzanita and poison oak. Crop prospects are favorable, and sellers of beekeepers' supplies are doing a good business in comb honey equipment, as well as extracted. Package bee men are busy shipping out orders. In the Pacific Northwest bees wintered well. Spring is backward, however, and recent frosts may have damaged some fruit. Stores reported very short, and many colonies have starved. Much alfalfa plowed under in some areas. Ample snow in the mountains. In the intermountain region spring is advancing very slowly, and recent heavy snowfall over much of the area will cause still further delay. In parts Wyoming, for example, nearly two feet of snow fell in the last blizzard. This heavy precipitation should result in good nectar secretion and honey flow. The cool weather is holding back blossoming of fruit trees. Brood rearing, which had been encouraged by pollen available from dandelions, maples. Olive Bank Receives Death Notice Raymond R. Remington recently convicted in an court of robbing the bank faces a new trial, and the torney's office is going to death penalty because of his assault upon S. J. Scott, who was taking him to the at San Quentin. Scott, who is in a hospital field as a result of injury the desperate bandit, will cover it, it is believed, and his left eye, originally strowe by Remington's saved. Two bullet wounds Remington, who seized Remington's blinding the officer with tobacco, proved to be fleeced no serious consequence. Ever, was severely beaten with his gun, and will pital for some time, it is meanwhile, authorities try to push a vigorous and prosecution of Remington nounced themselves as so exact the extreme proves the death penalty—for his assault upon Scott. Chief L.Atorney L. W. Blodge trained, he said, that Remington was sentenced to an indictment of five years to life life convict and can be placed under the section of the police provides the death penalty victims who commit assaults weapon. Court decisions show that prisoners record determinate sentence, maximum is life imprisoned as life convicts, utterance had been determined. Orange county, however, have jurisdiction over Remington's prosecution conducted probably in Kern County; the assault took place; its authorities will seek to take a hand in the process get has already asked his Avocado Growers Organize League has been expressed by a number of people in Oregon. It is not a question of how conspicuous or inconspicuous the projected cableway would be, or just what types of refreshment houses and other buildings for the accommodation of tourists would accompany it. It goes rather to the deep-seated regard or reverence that I believe we should preserve for mountain peaks having the grandeur and commanding position, both geographically and historically, of Mount Hood. It is impossible to deal with these spiritual or esthetic qualities of great natural features in tangible terms. Nevertheless, peaks like Hood, Shasta, and Whitney, preserved and revered as nature made them, do represent one of our greatest assets. And I can not but believe that the esthetic, or sentimental, value of such outstanding natural features would be impaired through subjecting them to this type of development. You cannot measure this loss in any specific terms. Nevertheless, some loss there would be; and in my judgment the material gains in tourist traffic, even the opportunity afforded more people to visit such points, are not sufficient to compensate for it. "Another reason which underlies my conviction in this matter is the general need of preserving a substantial portion of the more beautiful and scenic areas in the national forests in as nearly a natural condition as practicable. We are in a period of rapid road building and extension of motor traffic all over the western states. We are more or less in a state of mind that conceives of the recreational values of any attractive region in terms of volume of traffic and speed of access. The gasoline motor has gotten possession of our souls. It is my own conviction that this aggressive conquest of the western wilderness may go too far. I believe that it is time to bring positively into our conceptions on this whole question the social need for keeping some of our mountains and forests undeveloped. I think we must consciously set up in our plans for the use of the national forests the very important social service rendered by retaining substantial areas available exclusively for nonmotorized and non-mechanical forms of recreation. This is necessary in order that the people may continue to obtain from these regions the same sort of vigorous recuperation and spiritual stimulus that they have afforded in the past. Hence, I believe that the public agencies responsible for the administration of these lands should be conservatice in permitting the unrestrained opening up of isolated country where practical considerations do not compel it. Of course, each case must be considered on its own merits and no general rule can be laid down. But as a general policy or conception, I am for moving slowly or holding back in road building and like forms of development in areas where recreation is the prime motive and outstanding natural qualities for wilderness forms of enjoyment are involved." Should Investigate Walnut Crown Rot Seedling walnut trees or buds on white walnut roots are susceptible to the root disease now called crown rot. Crown rot is a sly, underhand worker. By the time trees show the ill effects of this disease they are gone beyond all hope. So far as is known, there is no specific cure in the nature of a spray or a paint that does any good. Investigations have shown that exposing the crown roots of walnut trees established in heavy soils produces a distinct benefit and in many cases constitutes a cure. Such treatment, of course, must come before the tree is badly infected. The only way to discover an infection is to remove the dirt from the roots and examine the crown area thoroughly by scraping. Diseased tissue can easily be distinguished from healthy bark by its sickly yellow color and its stringy, ropey, wet appearance. It also has a distinct odor of silage or fermented material. According to Dr. J. R. Barrett, citrus experiment station, the organisms which cause this trouble are probably present in practically all soils and will begin act as soon as conditions are right for their growth. It cannot grow well under dry conditions. Neither can it grow when the temperatures are too cool. Growers are advised to dig out around their trees and examine them for infection as early in the spring as possible. If the rot has not progressed too far, the infected area can be cut out and disinfected with a penetrating disinfectant made by dissolving a 7-grain tablet of mercuric cyanide in three quarters of a pint of water and one-quarter of a pint of alcohol. The disease is sometimes confused aged some fruit. Stores reported very short, and many colonies have starved. Much alfalfa plowed under in some areas. Ample snow in the mountains. In the intermountain region spring is advancing very slowly, and recent heavy snowfall over much of the area will cause still further delay. In parts of Wyoming, for example, nearly two feet of snow fell in the last blizzard. This heavy precipitation should result in good nectar secretion and honey flow. The cool weather is holding back blooming of fruit trees. Brood rearing, which had been encouraged by pollen available from dandelions, maples and elms, has been slowed up. Stores are light, and frequent losses from starvation reported. Much early feeding will be necessary to prevent further losses. In Arizona bees have built up very rapidly, and there is considerable swarming in practically all locations where the bees have had honey enough to go through winter in good shape. Crocoste bush and several river plants are yielding well. Mesquite is tagging, and many beemen are moving their outfits to locations where advantage can be taken of the prospective mesquite flow. In some early sections mesquite honey has already been extracted. Immense Increase Income Tax Some interesting flight leased the other day by the treasury. The flight the income tax receipt nine months of the fiscal March 31, were $1,649,928 ing a total for the fiscal $2,190,000,000. This price will increase at an annual rate of 200%. The total receipts are estimated at $3,426,000 in line with the treasury December showing that as usual has made no rent. The report shows fur support of Mr. Mellon's duction of surtaxes worth reportable incomes tax surtax brackets, the staggered 1825 (Just completed) slant in other individuals in the classes and the smaller creased in number, due in exemption allowed revenue law." These statistics for 1925 are the first compartment present revenue law. The number of small trees on new law decreased after reporting net income of $344,876 to $98,178; those comes of $1000 to $2000 number from 2,413,881 net from $2,200 to $3000 net from 2,112,993 to $763,5 with nat incomes from decreased from 1,800,900. Without exception, those reporting greater ones named above number, and generally, net income the greater proportionately. Here individuals reporting $5000 to $10,000 increased to $482,882; $10,000 to $216 to $231,862; $25,000 Avocado Growers Organize League Definite steps have been made by a group of Lemon Heights avocado growers to put a stop to the heavy loss of fruit by thieves who have been actively operating during the past few weeks, according to Horace Stevens, avocado grower, and one of the directors of the recently organized protective league. "Several watchmen have been hired to patrol the various avocado groves in the district the year around, day and night," said Mr. Stevens. "We are going to put a stop to the heavy loss from stealing, which has amounted to several thousand dollars during the last few months. The sheriff's office is giving us the fullest co-operation, but we find it advisable to patrol the groves and, if necessary, drastic measures will be used against trespassers on the properties of the league members." "We are forced to protect our properties and we are going to catch the culprits. In fact, we have traced our fruit to certain local markets, particularly among the Mexican settlements, and have a strong claw on two parties engaged in the business of fruit stealing. With the Marcy intercats and Mr. Utt behind this organization, no effort will be spared to follow up every clew or to catch the thieves in action." The California Avocado Growers' Exchange, sheriff's office and horticultural commission will assist in closing in the net, through their inspection service and detectives. Ford's earnings for 1926 are estimated roughly at ninety million dollars, which indicates that Henry won't have to ask for any debt cancellation for some time yet. Grain Men Hold Field Day May 7 The sixth annual grain growers' field day is announced for May 7, by John Osterman, chairman of the grain growers' department of the Orange County Farm Bureau. This event will be held in the form of a tour and will be the only scheduled trip for the grain men here this year. The group will assemble at 10 a.m. at the Irvine vegetable packing house, one mile south of Culvers Corner. Here plantings of Hero and "4000" barley may be compared. From here the course will be taken through grain plantings to the Osterman ranch, north of El Toro. Plantings of Hero, "4000" and Oregon Club Marlout barley may be compared here. The caravan will stop at El Toro for lunch, following which there will be an opportunity of listening to several speakers, among which will be Prof. W. W. Mackle, in charge of cereal investigation at the University of California. Following a visit to Mr. Clinard's place, the next stop will be at the variety plantings north of Capistrano, on the Buckhelm ranch. Here six varieties of barley, four of oats and nine of wheat are being grown in variety test plots by the agricultural extension service. Every one interested is invited to attend. Vital Distinctive In Radical Frequently the view Jefferson on freedom cited, and the theory restraint upon the public revolutionary radicals with liberty of speech says the National Resolution. It seems to be overly is a very great difference expression of views and program of action in constitutional or parliament. For instance, no report upon one's right to die of the theory of philip That is very different a mob in favor of an gram of violence. On cally justify lynching This is morally wrong Appealing to a crowd individual is a dislike It will be recalled views of Jefferson quarrel Aaron Burr on the grief spired to divide every effort to convict absence of an overt attack Advocacy of the thesis has never been this country. In many experiments in Olive Bank Robber Faces Death Penalty Assault on Deputy Sheriff Considered Capital Offense Raymond R. Remington, who was recently convicted in an Orange county court of robbing the bank at Olive, now faces a new trial, and the district attorney's office is going to demand the death penalty because of his murderous assault upon S. J. Scott, deputy sheriff, who was taking him to the penitentiary at San Quentin. Scott, who is in a hospital at Bakersfield as a result of injuries inflicted by the desperate bandit, will speedily recover, it is believed, and the sight of his left eye, originally reported destroyed by Remington's blows, will be saved. Two bullet wounds inflicted by Remington, who seized Scott's gun after blinding the officer with a handful of tobacco, proved to be flesh wounds of no serious consequence. Scott, however, was severely beaten on the head with his gun, and will be in the hospital for some time, it is expected. Meanwhile, authorities are prepared to push a vigorous and unrelenting prosecution of Remington and have announced themselves as determined to exact the extreme provision of law—the death penalty—for his deadly assault upon Scott. Chief Deputy District Attorney L. W. Blodget has ascertained, he said, that Remington, who was sentenced to an indeterminate term of five years to life, rates as a life convict and can be prosecuted under the section of the penal code that provides the death penalty for life convicts who commit assault with a deadly weapon. Court decisions, said Blodget, show that prisoners receiving an indeterminate sentence, of which the maximum is life imprisonment, are rated as life convicts, until their sentence had been determined. Orange county, however, will not have jurisdiction over the case and Remington's prosecution will be conducted, probably in Kern county, where the assault took place, it is said. Local authorities will seek opportunity of taking a hand in the prosecution. Blodget has already asked his chief, District Russian communism is not a mere academic theory of government which it is proposed to persuade the American people to accept and incorporate as a policy in their constitution and laws. It is primarily a program of revolution, openly avowed, and directed from a foreign country. It proposes action, violence; overthrow of our government by force. This is not a mere deduction; the purpose is not concealed; it is proclaimed. At last we have the television, or the facility of seeing the person who is talking to us at the other end of the telephone line. This system is going to be embarrassing for the fellow who calls his wife up at 11 o'clock p.m., and tells her he has been detained by a lot of work at the office. NOTICE INVITING SEALED PROPOSALS FOR SEWER CONNECTIONS NOTICE IS HEREBY GIVEN that sealed proposals or bids will be received by the City of Anaheim at the office of the City Clerk of said city up to the hour of eight o'clock P.M. of Thursday, 28th day of April, 1927, for furnishing to said city all material and labor required for the construction of sewer connections on North and South Palm Streets, from Romneya Drive to Broadway. Said work includes approximately 3500 linear feet of 4-inch vitrified pipe and 160 linear feet of 6-inch vitrified pipe. Said work is to be done in accordance with plans on file in the office of the City Engineer of said city, and with Specifications Nos: 32 and 26 on file in the office of the City Clerk. Instructions to bidders (including information regarding security required of bidders), plans, specifications, blank proposal and form of contract may be obtained at the office of the City Engineer upon the deposit of Five Dollars ($5.00), said deposit to be refunded upon the return to the City Engineer of said plans, specifications and forms. The Board of Trustees of the City of Anaheim reserves the right to reject any and all bids. By order of the Board of Trustees of the City of Anaheim. Dated this 11th day of April, 1927. FARM BUREAU PROGRAM The next farm bureau program, Friday, April 29, 7:15 p.m., over station KWTC, Santa Ana, will feature 4-H agricultural clubs. Raymond Ellis, assistant farm advisor, will tell about the origin of 4-H clubs, their meaning and their status in Orange county. Who remembers the good old days when a red flannel shirt could be used for something else than making Bolshevik flags? Now a Russian princess is coming over for the purpose of studying Americans. That's all right, we're getting used to it. TIMETABLE A. T. & S. F. By Coast Lines In effect November 14, 1926 Trains to Los Angeles No. 79 6:45 A.M. No. 71 11:57 A.M. $ No. 78 9:46 P.M.

Court decisions, said Blodget, show that prisoners receiving an indeterminate sentence, of which the maximum is life imprisonment, are rated as life convicts, until their sentence had been determined. Orange county, however, will not have jurisdiction over the case and Remington's prosecution will be conducted, probably in Kern county, where the assault took place, it is said. Local authorities will seek opportunity of taking a hand in the prosecution. Blodget has already asked his chief, District Attorney Z. B. West, Jr., for assignment to the case, if permission is gained by this county to be represented in the prosecution. Under the law, the case could be prosecuted in any of the counties along the route traversed by the train which carried Remington from Los Angeles to San Francisco. Because he embarked in Los Angeles instead of in Santa Ana, Orange county is not included in the list of counties which hold jurisdiction. Immense Increase in Income Tax Receipts Some interesting figures were released the other day by the secretary of the treasury. The figures show that the income tax receipts for the first nine months of the fiscal year, ending March 31, were $1,649,971,000, indicating a total for the fiscal year of about $2,190,000,000. This prospective total will be an increase of around $200,000,900. The total receipts for the year are estimated at $3,426,000,000, which is in line with the treasury's estimate of December, showing that the treasury, as usual, has made no mistake. The report shows further that "in support of Mr. Mellon's theory that reduction of surtaxes would increase the reportable incomes taxable under the surtax brackets, the statistics for the 1925 (just completed) showed increases in other individuals in the larger income classes and the smaller taxpayers decreased in number, due to the increase in exemption allowed by the revised revenue law." These statistics for the fiscal year 1925 are the first completed under the present revenue law. They show that the number of small taxpayers under the new law decreased as follows: those reporting net income of under $1000 for 344,876 to 98,178; those having net incomes of $1000 to $2000 decreased in number from 2,413,881 to 993,490; those in the $2000 to $3000 net class decreased from 2,112,993 to 763,565; while those with net incomes from $3000 to $5000 decreased from 1,800,900 to 1,294,713. Without exception, the number of those reporting greater incomes than ones named above increased in number, and generally, the higher the net income the greater the increase proportionately. Here are the figures: Individuals reporting incomes from $5000 to $10,000, increased from 437,330 to 482,882; $10,000 to $25,000, from 191,-216 to 231,862; $25,000 to $50,000, from Vital Distinction In Radical Methods Frequently the views of Thomas Jefferson on freedom of opinion are cited, and the theory advanced that restraint upon the public utterances of revolutionary radicals is inconsistent with liberty of speech and of the press, says the National Republic. It seems to be overlooked that there is a very great difference between an expression of views and advocacy of a program of action inconsistent with constitutional or parliamentary government. For instance, no restrain should be put-upon one's right to argue in favor of the theory of philosophic anarchy. That is very different from haranguing a mob in favor of anarchy as a program of violence. One may theoretically justify lynching in certain cases. This is morally wrong, but not illegal. Appealing to a crowd to lynch a certain individual is a different matter. It will be recalled that despite the views of Jefferson quoted, he arrested Aaron Burr on the ground that he conspired to divide the Union, and made every effort to convict him, even in the absence of an overt act of treason. Advocacy of the theory of communism has never been interfered with in this country. In fact, we have had many experiments in communism.
