PRADO DAM PROPOSAL ENDORSED
BY THE ASSOCIATED CHAMBERS
Engineer J. B. Lippincott Gives Comprehensive Report of This Valuable Project to People of Orange County
ALMOST the entire business session of the Associated Chambers of Commerce meeting at Tustin, Thursday evening, was devoted to a discussion of the Prado dam proposition. Engineer J. B. Lippincott, who recently, after a survey of the Santa Ana river basin, recommended to the supervisors the building of a dam, and reservoir at Prado, was the chief speaker, and gave some interesting information relative to the value of the project to Orange county.
"There is no other water basin in Southern California as big and no other basin with as great a water supply as the Prado site." Lippincott stated. He declared that the Prado site was the most feasible one south of the Tehachapi mountains.

A of Commerce meeting at Tustin, Thursday evening, was devoted to a discussion of the Prado dam proposition. Engineer J. B. Lippincott, who recently, after a survey of the Santa Ana river basin, recommended to the supervisors the building of a dam, and reservoir at Prado, was the chief speaker, and gave some interesting information relative to the value of the project to Orange county.
"There is no other water basin in Southern California as big and no other basin with as great a water supply as the Prado site." Lippincott stated. He declared that the Prado site was the most feasible one south of the Tehachapi mountains.
Figures given by Lippincott revealed that the Prado dam would be the second largest in the state, being smaller only than the Hetch-Hetchy reservoir, which supplies the city of San Francisco and surrounding territory with water. The Prado dam would have a capacity of 174,000 acre-feet of water. The Hetch-Hetchy has a capacity of 206,000 acre-feet of water. Big Bear has a capacity of only 64,600 acre-feet.
Lippincott was employed by Orange county supervisors to make a preliminary survey of the proposed Prado dam. He gave a number of facts and figures about the Prado dam and answered a number of general questions on the water conservation problem in Orange county.
Speakers from the floor revealed that the general sentiment of the meeting was in favor of the Prado dam project and favored immediate action on the matter. The speakers also revealed that they were in favor of action to conserve the flood waters of Santiago creek and the San Juan creek by the construction of dams on these waterways. Further water conservation plans were advocated by Fred B. Tuffree, of Placentia. Tuffree advocated steps to conserve water which is now allowed to flow unchecked into the ocean.
H. H. Hale of Placentia, in a short talk, urged steps to conserve all water in Orange county and urged immediate action on the water conservation matter on the part of county supervisors.
Lippincott urged immediate action on the project, stressing the value of the priority of right to the water, which would be greatly enhanced by quick action. He also urged Orange county men to proceed with caution on the project; to employ the best engineers and the best legal talent, and to consider all phases of the project before starting definite action.
That it would take approximately one and one-half years, or two summers, to complete the work on the dam at Prado, was the declaration of the well-known engineer.
That the priority of right to the water in the Santa Ana river consists largely in the priority of use, was the declaration of Lippincott in urging immediate action on the Prado dam project.
The vast extent of the project and its comparison with other water projects was shown by Lippincott. The Prado reservoir site consists of 748 square miles of mountains, 157 square miles of foothills and 580 square miles of valley, or a total of 1485 square miles. The estimated water crop is 360,000 acre-feet.
The Santa Ana river is the largest orange county members of the American Legion, in convention at Santa Barbara, unanimously requested Frank Mason, commander of Brea Legion post and commodore of Brea Air Club, to run for sheriff against Sam Jernigan, whose office is involved in the current grand jury investigation of Orange county jail conditions.
While legionnaries in Santa Barbara were choosing Mason as their candidate for sheriff, District Attorney West, in Santa Ana, was quizzing Supervisor S. H. Finley and Dr. F. W. Slabaugh, county purchasing agent, before the grand jury. George Edgar, merchant, also testified.
These were believed to have testified regarding the jail diet, which was said to be poor in quality and almost negligible in quantity.
It was pointed out that the 28 cents allowed the sheriff by the board of supervisors for feeding each prisoner two meals a day was one of the lowest in the state. Some counties allow as much as 25 cents for each meal daily.
Included in charges made against county officials are those that dope was accessible to prisoners; that men prisoners had access to women's quarters of the jail, and that prisoners were cruelly and inhumanly treated by beating and negligence, in addition to malnutrition.
Righter New Coach At High School
With the high school trustees' acceptance of George Righter's application for varsity coach at Anaheim Union high school, comes the question of what the Blue and Gold will display this fall in athletic prowess. This fellow, Righter, must be a good coach, Visalia kept him for seven years. The material with which he must mold a football team from in the fall seefms to be scarce—fearfully so.
The bright side, however, shines on the fact that although many of last year's regulars have gone, nearly all were from the backfield; the line this year is nearly the same. Lightweight material should make Anaheim's line a regular brick wall. Two, one a regular, the other, a man who earned his "A" last year, will probably be the only part of last year's backfield for next year. The lightweight of last year must supply our backfield, which, of necessity, must be light, as a whole, and fast.
Paul Demaree, who will handle the
Prado, was the declaration of the well-known engineer.
That the priority of right to the water in the Santa Ana river consists largely in the priority of use, was the declaration of Lippincott in urging immediate action on the Prado dam project.
The vast extent of the project and its comparison with other water projects was shown by Lippincott. The Prado reservoir site consists of 748 square miles of mountains, 157 square miles of foothills and 580 square miles of valley, or a total of 1485 square miles. The estimated water crop is 360,000 acre-feet. The Santa Ana river is the largest stream in Southern California, and its huge water supply has an important bearing on the water level in Orange county by seepage, according to Lippincott. The site of the Prado reservoir is the only reservoir site south of the Tehachapi mountains which has the advantages of the Prado site, according to Lippincott. He referred to the storage capacity, cheapness of construction and geographic position of the reservoir site.
That the Prado reservoir would be one of the largest in the state is indicated in figures given by Lippincott, in which he shows that the reservoir will hold approximately 174,000 acre-feet, and Moreno reservoir holds 53,680 acre-feet.
The cost of the Prado enterprise is set at $5,000,000, including estimates for changing roads, railroads, purchase of land and the construction of the dam.
The average cost of the Prado dam would be $28.70 per acre-foot of storage capacity, Lippincott declared. The California state engineer's report estimating dams on six tributaries to the Santa Ana river north of Prado shows a combined storage capacity of 98,395 acre-feet, an aggregate cost of $49,376,000 and an average cost per acre foot of storage capacity of $502.
One of the most important matters in the Prado dam construction is the provision of an adequate spillway, according to Lippincott. It is estimated that a total of 36,700 acre-feet of water could be put underground each year by the Prado reservoir.
Benefits of the Prado dam as outlined by Lippincott reveal that the conservation of water now wasted every (Continued on Last Page)
County Blackeye Crop Reaches 100,000 Bags
Although weather conditions have not been satisfactory for blackeye beans in Orange county this year, it is expected that the crop will amount to 100,000 bags, equalling the output of last year, William C. Jerome, auditor of Orange county, announced.
Rain, although plentiful, came at the wrong time during the present season and the recent warm weather is bringing the beans to maturity before the maximum development has been reached, said Jerome. Last year both rain and warm weather came at the right time and it was an ideal bean year.
Slightly larger acreage will result in the present harvest reaching the mark set last year. There are 20,000 acres of blackeye beans in Orange county this summer, while the last season is said to have been a trifle under this figure.
Jerome declared that the bean yield all over the state will be light because weather conditions generally have not been best for that crop.
The Irvine ranch, on which approximately half of the blackeye acreage is located, will start harvesting within the next two weeks, ranch officials announced today. An estimate of the effect of the hot weather this summer is being made there, but as yet no definite conclusions have been reached.

WS COST AND PROFIT OF
Santa Fe to Build
Huge Steel Section
Of Olive Bridge
IN RESPONSE to petitions from various organizations of the county, the Santa Fe railway announced that steps would be taken at once to install a steel section on the south end of its railroad bridge across the Santa Ana river, just north of Olive, the cost to be approximately $175,000.
The petitions, prepared by the Olive-West Orange protection district, the Orange Community Chamber of Commerce, the Associated Chambers of Commerce, and the Orange county supervisors, asked the railway company to put in four 60-foot spans in order to allow the flood waters a free circulation under the bridge.
The closely set wooden piling has diverted the flood waters against the banks of the river, causing much damage from washouts, according to the petitions. Surveys made by the company resulted in an unfavorable report early in the summer, but a more recent investigation has convinced the company's engineers that

Anaheim Finds Water Levels Being Lowered
SLOWLY but surely the underground water supply from which Anaheim draws her domestic water supply is being lowered and, though no immediate shortage is expected, the levels are falling rapidly enough to cause some concern for the future unless some steps are taken to replenish the supply from other sources. Vard W. Hannum, superintendent of Anaheim's municipal water plant, declared.
The city's pumps are reaching down 100 feet for water, which is being consumed at the rate of more than 1,500,000 gallons daily. The levels lowering 13 feet since last May, Hannum reports.
Last month the city consumed approximately 45,000,000 gallons of water, all of which was drawn from the underground system. According to Hannum, the July gallonage will fare exceed the June total.
These figures show an appreciable increase in volume over those of last year. June, 1926, drew 43,000,000
The closely set wooden piling has diverted the flood waters against the banks of the river, causing much damage from washouts, according to the petitions. Surveys made by the company resulted in an unfavorable report early in the summer, but a more recent investigation has convinced the company's engineers that spans even longer than originally asked should be installed.
Five spans 75 feet long and one 70 feet are to be installed for a total distance of 448 feet. As the bridge is 1636 feet long, and a steel span of 240 feet is already installed on the north end, there will be only 382 feet of wooden structure left when the new work is completed. The steel spans are to be placed on concrete plers.

Meeting at the Elks Clubhouse Thursday Starts New Move; John Cook to be Head of Committee; Gaps in Protection Work Between This City and Yorba Must be Repaired Before Rainy Season Begins
FLOOD control was the subject discussed at a luncheon held at the Elks clubhouse Thursday, and it was decided to revive the old committee which did such excellent work some years ago under the leadership of John Cook. While in all probability the proposed county district will be formed eventually, and the entire river in its course through the county be bridled and restrained, yet it is realized that it will require some years to consummate this plan.
The meeting Thursday was sponsored by the Chamber of Commerce and was participated in by members of the city council, City Manager Price, Supervisor Schumacher, John Cook and others. Mr. Cook has been one of the most indefatigable workers in river protection movements heretofore, and will head the committee in charge of the new movement.
It is proposed to raise a fund to repair and strengthen the old dykes, to rebuild the gaps caused by last winter's high water, and to extend the work where it is deemed necessary. Over 1800 feet of the former dykes between this city and Yorba has been washed away, and it is imperative that this must be repaired before the winter rains set in. The committee will proceed to the collection of a sufficient fund to make the repairs, and it is hoped that something will be accomplished before the rains set in. The following resolution was adopted:
Whereas, the river dyke built on the westerly bank of the Santa Ana river by property owners in and around Anaheim was damaged by overflow from the river last winter, for a distance of one thousand eight hundred and twenty-eight feet, and also has been damaged by other causes, and will have to be repaired if any protection is to be had against water which may flow down said river during the winter of 1927-1928, and
Whereas, the work of organizing a Flood Control District to take charge of said protective work cannot be completed early enough to obtain any funds necessary for said work and for which reason the only means of obtaining money or funds with which to do the repair work immediately necessary to be done upon and along said river dyke will be by public subscription, and
Therefore, Be It Resolved that the Anaheim Chamber of Commerce hereby endorse and commend the action of the Flood Control committee in going to the people of the affected district in soliciting such funds as may be necessary and required to make said repairs to said embankment or dyke.
"Anaheim Chamber of Commerce,
By F. A. Yungbluth, president, and Bath M. Burch secretary,"
The city's pumps are reaching down 100 feet for water, which is being consumed at the rate of more than 1,500,000 gallons daily, the levels lowering 13 feet since last May, Hannum reports.
Last month the city consumed approximately 45,000,000 gallons of water, all of which was drawn from the underground system. According to Hannum, the July gallonage will fare exceed the June total.
These figures show an appreciable increase in volume over those of last year. June, 1926, drew 43,000,000 gallons of water, or an average of more than 1,300,000 daily.
However, the fears of those predicting a water shortage may be allayed somewhat by the water level figures for other years, which show this year in a favorable light.
July 25 of last year, the water levels were down to 109 feet as compared with the present depth of 100 feet. Heavy rains and mountain snows during the past winter months are held responsible.
Sham Battles at The County Fair
Military Maneuvers to Be Shown Visitors at Big Exhibition
Company F, 160th Infantry, under command of Captain Donald L. Winns, of Santa Ana, already is in practice for sham battles to be given at the Orange County Fair, September 5 to 10, next.
While intense maneuvers for the "scrap" have not as yet begun, several squads of the company have held sham serimmages on the fair grounds. These generated plenty of excitement among enlookers, as the action was replete with thrills.
Captain Winns declares that his roen will be in the pink of condition when the bugle is sounded for the first charge in front of the thronged grandstand. The organization will just have returned from training camp in the northern part of the state.
Heavy explosives are to be used in the sham battle, and an earnest effort will be made, according to announcements, to depict war in all its terrible aspects. Incidentally, it was pointed out that the army maneuvers at the fair will deliver substantial argument in favor of world peace.
With a horse show, rodeo, special lodge performances, and other attractions written into the fair program, the general committee headed by H. A. Lake, of Garden Grove, today was highly optimistic over probabilities of getting crowds.
The fair not only will stand as a spectacle, Mr. Lake said, but also will have extensive exhibits of Orange county's industrial livestock, horticultural and agricultural wealth.

BACK FROM FLAGSTAFF
Judge J. S. Howard and his daughter, Miss Adela, have returned from Flagstaff, Ariz., after an absence of six weeks. Miss Adela attended a summer session at the Flagstaff Normal school, where she graduated with honors two years ago. She has a diploma to teach, both in Arizona and California. She will teach in the local schools when studies are resumed here next month.
The judge put in his time making new acquaintances in the northern part of Arizona, where the weather was found to be very pleasant. The return trip began at 7 o'clock in the morning and, after driving continuously for 24 hours, the judge and his daughter arrived home safely. The distance is 560 miles. He found the weather warm on the desert, but felt the cooler breezes of the Pacific as soon as he came into this valley. He still insists there is no place like Anaheim.
HOME AGAIN
J. W. Sackett returned, a few days ago, from a visit to old-time friends in Oregon and other points north, having been absent five weeks. Bill traveled alone, and found many friends along his journey. He was formerly a resident of Oregon, and is a personal friend of Senator McNary and other distinguished residents of that state. He speaks in terms of great praise of the northern state, but says there is no place like home. He has been devoting several days to getting acquainted with his family.
Adventists Camp on County Fair Grounds
Tent City Now Being Erected for Sheltering Visitors
The city of tents rapidly is rising in the Orange County Fair grounds. In preparation for the annual encampment of the Southeastern California Conference of Seventh-day Adventists. The camp meeting will be held from August 11 to 21. For the past two weeks, the clerkymen of this conference have come in from their different churches and laying aside their clerical dress, have donned overalls to prepare necessary for said work and for which reason the only means of obtaining money or funds with which to do the repair work immediately necessary to be done upon and along said river dyke will be by public subscription, and "Therefore Be It Resolved that the Anaheim Chamber of Commerce hereby endorse and commend the action of the Flood Control committee in going to the people of the affected district in soliciting such funds as may be necessary and required to make said repairs to said embankment, or dyke.

The flood control committee which is assuming the task of carrying out this emergency-flood protection work is composed of the following: John Cook, president; Harry Dierker, secretary; A. Nagle, treasurer, and Charles Jones, George Wetherly, W. B. Allen, Joe Carroll, and C. M. Hollinghead, directors.
F. A. Yungbluth, president of the Anaheim Chamber of Commerce and an active flood control worker since the organization of the old flood control committee, was emphatic in declaring the need of some immediate protection work along the river banks.
Mr. Yungbluth has witnessed the vagaries of the Santa Ana river through many winters and declares that there is no reason to feel sure that the waters of the river will not threaten to overflow its banks again this year.
Adventists Camp on County Fair Grounds
P.E.Broderson, president of the Southeastern California Conference, assures all who attend that they will hear in the large auditorium with perfect ease, for electric amplifiers will be used with microphones to project the voice of the speaker. The program of services begins at 6 a.m., with public services throughout the day and evening. Bible studies, health lectures, and demonstrations by doctors and nurse will be features of the meeting.

MUCH SPECULATION RELATIVE TO
GRAND JURY INVESTIGATION
Accusing Witnesses Expected to Finish Yesterday Evening and Accused Begin Defense This Morning
THE PEOPLE of Orange county, being vitally interested in the investigation of jail officials before the star chamber session of the grand jury this week, and also the serious charges brought against the peace officers, are speculating as to the nature of the evidence being given before that body. Witnesses who have been called to testify, made serious accusations against those in control of the jail, and the sheriff's deputies, but whether they tell the same story on the witness stand is not known, as the grand jury's sessions are held behind locked doors.

Officers Capture Moonshine Stills
Three Flourishing Industries Put Out of Business Tuesday
Three moonshine stills were captured in Orange county Tuesday by sheriff's deputies and arrests made in each case. That the men arrested with the stills may be prosecuted under the new state law, which makes owning a still a felony, is probable according to deputy sheriffs.
Sheriff Sam Jernigan, with officers F. W. Howard, Harry Carter, Jess Elliott and Dan Adams, first raided a house off Wilson avenue, Costa Mesa, arresting E. L. Barron, 38, and L. Devas, 25, after confiscating 100 gallons of mash, a quart of whisky, and a 20 gallon/still.
The second still and its equipment was found when the same officers raided a house near Fifth street, a half mile west of the Fifth street bridge over the Santa Ana river.
Y. Lupeano, 33, found at the place, was arrested.
The still was concealed in a dugout at the rear of the house, cleverly concealed, officers said. It was a still with a 50-gallon capacity; a half gallon of liquor was found, and a large number of empty five and one gallon bottles.
The third still of the day, which was the largest, was uncovered by the officers on the Huntington Beach road, three-quarters of a mile north of Seventeenth street.
This still had a daily capacity for making 100 gallons of liquor. Sixty-four 50-gallon tanks of mash and 50 sacks of corn were confiscated in the raid.
S. Nchida, 51, Japanese, and Mike Rich, 31, were arrested. The still and its equipment occupied an entire dwelling, the Japanese and his family residing in a barn at the rear.
Officers said this plant was an alcohol "factory." Five gallons of alcohol were confiscated.
Anaheim Bank Adds Branch at Cypress
The Southern County Bank, which already has branches at Buena Park and El Modena, has arranged to establish a branch at Cypress.
The new bank is to be located in the recently completed $12,500 brick business, block recently completed in Cypress by G. G. Priddy, local real estate man.
This expansion of the scope of the Southern County system will necessitate an increase in the capitalization of the associated banks, but how much has not yet been determined. H. A. Hawley, cashier, stated. Mr. Hawley also stated who have been called to testify, made serious accusations against those in control of the jail, and the sheriff's deputies, but whether they tell the same story on the witness stand is not known, as the grand jury's sessions are held behind locked doors.
While all proceedings are secret, occasionally a little information leaks out, and it was believed that District Attorney West would complete his accusation testimony last night, and the defense would take the floor today.
Joe Buchta, central figure in the jail probe, was before the jury Tuesday, and was believed to have completed his testimony for the present, since he was not recalled. Henry S. "Pop" Warner, former captain of the state traffic squad in this county, replaced him as witness yesterday morning and was closed with the grand jury during most of the session. Warner's testimony was believed to be similar to that of Louis Heffner, his former fellow officer, who was said to have filed wholesale accusations against peace officers and county employees relating to liquor parties and asserted irregularities in the jail.
John Scott of La Habra, former special deputy of Sheriff Sam Jernigan, was waiting to testify. Scott it was believed, intended to tell the grand jury of asserted occasions on which he reported cases of gambling and drinking to the sheriff's office, whose deputies sent to the scene, appeared unwilling and hesitant to act and gave warning to their prospective prisoners so that the latter had time to conceal the evidence before being arrested.
Scott, it was reported, would testify that he warned Sheriff Sam Jernigan that a change in enforcement methods was needed. Scott was not reappointed deputy when the sheriff started his second term of office, this year.
John Deleque, former head trusty at the jail, also was walking today to testify. He expressed wonder at receiving a summons.
"I have nothing to say against the jail officials," he said. "I never saw anything wrong while I was there."
DR. HAYWOOD RETURNING
Dr. Benjamin S. Haywood, pastor of White Temple Methodist Episcopal church, will return with Mrs. Haywood to his home in this city on Friday; after an absence of six weeks. A letter received by George M. Tedrick, treasurer of the church, brings word that Dr. Haywood and his wife have been sojourning at Carmel-by-the-Sea, after an enjoyable motor trip to the north. He will occupy his pulpit next Sunday morning, and in the evening will preside over the union services at the park.
Dr. Haywood was called to La Fayette, Ind., in June. In advice informing him of the critical illness of his brother, He sped east and reached his brother's bedside a short time before his death. The patient was unconscious when the doctor arrived,
The Southern County Bank, which already has branches at Buena Park and El Modena, has arranged to establish a branch at Cypress.
The new bank is to be located in the recently completed $12,500 brick business block recently completed in Cypress by G. G. Priddy, local real estate man.
This expansion of the scope of the Southern County system will necessitate an increase in the capitalization of the associated banks, but how much has not yet been determined, H. A. Hawley, cashier, stated. Mr. Hawley also stated that it may be three months before the bank will be ready to do business.
It is rumored that the directorate of the associated banks will be expanded to include two prominent Cypress capitalists. It is stated unofficially that George B. Miller, pioneer resident, and George Peters, proprietor of the Superior Egg Farm, are being considered for places on the reorganized board.
Opening of the bank will come as another step in the outstanding progress now being made by the community of Cypress. Recently permission was received for the establishment of a postoffice in the town, and arrangements are now being made to this end. The postoffice is also to be located in the new Priddy block, it is said.
YOUNG COUPLE WED
Miss Celia Carr, for three years a member of the faculty of Fremont school and well known in this city, and Wilfred H. Bonney, son of Mr. and Mrs. C. H. Bonney of Anaheim, were married on July 30 in Des Moines, Iowa, at the home of the bride's parents, Mr. and Mrs. Frank Carr.
Mr. Bonney is a graduate of Anaheim Union high school and later attended the university at Berkeley, where he was graduated this year. He has been engaged as principal at Fremont school for the coming year.
Immediately after the wedding the young couple left for a honeymoon trip to Yellowstone park. They will be at home in Anaheim after September 1.
Mrs. J. W. Truxaw and children have returned from a pleasant outing of three weeks at Newport,
an absence of six weeks. A letter received by George M. Tedrick, treasurer of the church, brings word that Dr. Haywood and his wife have been sojourning at Carmel-by-the-Sea, after an enjoyable motor trip to the north. He will occupy his pulpit next Sunday morning, and in the evening will preside over the union services at the park.
Dr. Haywood was called to La Fayette, Ind., In June, by advice informing him of the critical illness of his brother. He sped east and reached his brother's bedside a short time before his death. The patient was unconscious when the doctor arrived, and passed away peacefully the day following his arrival. Remaining at La Fayette for a week, he later visited with his daughter at Columbus, Ohio, and joined his wife, the first of the month, at San Francisco, for a motor trip to northern points of interest.
