WATER FILINGS ON SANTA ANA RIVER FRANCIS CUTTLE ISSUES STATEMENT IN EXPLANATION THEREOF Water Conservation Association Filed Claim in 1921 for 48,000 Acre-Feet per Year for Irrigation in Orange, San Bernardino and Riverside Counties; Can Use It Only When Water in River Reaches Olive Bridge IN RESPONSE to requests for statement concerning the filings on water of Santa Ana river, severally, by interested parties in San Bernardino, Riverside and Orange counties, which has had a good deal of publicity lately, permit me to say: The Water Conservation Association filed an application under date of February 18, 1921, for 48,000 acre-feet of water per annum from the Santa Ana river, for underground storage for the irrigation of lands in San Bernardino, Riverside, and Orange counties. These are the lands which have already been furnished with water and which are controlled by: A. Gregory, Gage Canal Company, Riverside-Highland Water Company, Riverside Water Company, La Sierra Water Company, Arlington Mutual Water Company, Twin Buttes Water Company, Santa Ana Valley Iriver. For 250,000 acre-feet annually of the waters of the Santa Ana river and/or its tributaries. (The mean average flow of the Santa Ana river is 253,000 acre-feet). Note the difference between the first application and the second one. It is stated in the second application that this water is to be used for irrigation and domestic purposes and for the benefit of the lands in San Bernardino. Riverside and Orange counties, to which water is furnished by the following companies: Gargoyle Company, Riverside Highland Water Company, Riverside Water Company, La Sierra Water Company, Arlington Mutual Water Company, Twin Buttes Water Company, Santa Ana Valley Irrigation Company, Anaheim Union Water Company, and the East Riverside Water Company, and for domestic purposes for the cities of Redlands, San Bernardino, Colton, Riverside, Orange, Anaheim, Fullerton, Santa Ana, and Huntington Beach; it being the intention and purpose to use the waters for which application was made by the Water Conservation Association for the joint benefit of all of the owners of land formerly receiving irrigating water fro mthe Santa Ana river and its tributaries, as well as for the cities receiving their domestic water from the same source. The provision in the application for water from the Santa Ana river and its tributaries is significant and far-reaching for the reason that the tributaries include Mill creek, Sand creek, City and Plunge creeks, Waterman canyon, Devil Canyon creek, Cajon creek, Lone Pine canyon, Lythe creek, San Antonio creek, Cucamonga canyon, and Strawberry creek. With reference to a statement recently made by a citizen of San Bernardino, that San Bernardino should immediately file on the waters of the streams from which it secures its supply so as to get ahead of Orange county, it should be noted that the application has already been made by the Water Conservation Association for the waters of all of the sources from which San Bernardino goes its supply, and for the benefit of San Bernardino jointly with the people of Orange county. So far as the Prado dam is concerned, should the people of Orange county county in amending thereto provide water for filtration in Orange county should be spread in county, is evidence of event by one locality. Let us hope that this become hysterical about which may result in management such as character suit between the city and the city of River that they will wait pursues now being created and the surveyed divulged by the course completed, then get to prehensive plan for water and flood control waters of the Santa Ana river tributaries with a fair all of the interested... Larger Flock Highere By W. M. CORY. A Data compiled by the tension service from the poultry managerate a higher average of flocks having over that of flocks having Co-operators engaged are divided into two groups: depending upon birds they have. E chosen as the dividing her divided the flocks equal groups. For the month of group averaged 340 producing an average 40.5 per cent per cent mortality. The larger group to the flock production 43.2 per cent per cent mortality. This project began every month since he had a higher action and until this had a lower per cent The highest indiviation was 53.3 per cent. The Water Conservation Association filed an application under date of February 18, 1921, for 48,000 acre-feet of water per annum from the Santa Ana river, for underground storage for the irrigation of lands in San Bernardino, Riverside, and Orange counties. These are the lands which have already been furnished with water and which are controlled by: A. Gregory, Gage Canal Company, Riverside-Highland Water Company, Riverside Water Company, La Sierra Water Company, Arlington Mutual Water Company, Twin Buttes Water Company, Santa Ana Valley Irrigation Company, Anaheim Union Water Company, and the East Riverside Water Company. Permit was granted the association under date of May 13, 1926, for the amount of water above specified, with the provision that this water should be spread only when water is reaching the Olive bridge, in Orange county. On June 3, 1926, the by-laws of the Water Conservation Association were amended to provide that water should be spread only when water is reaching the Chapman avenue bridge, in Orange county. This was done at the request of the people of Orange county who are interested in the Water Conservation Association, and for the purpose of providing water to refill the underground strata in Orange county. It will be noted that this permit is for waters of the Santa Ana river. On October 20, 1925, the Water Conservation Association filed application With reference recently made by a citizen of San Bernardino, that San Bernardino should immediately file on the waters of the streams from which it secures its supply so as to get ahead of Orange county. It should be noted that the application has already been made by the Water Conservation Association for the waters all of the sources from which San Bernardino goes its supply, and for the benefit of San Bernardino jointly with the people of Orange county. So far as the Prado dam is concerned, should the people of Orange county build it, application has been made already by the Water Conservation Association for the waters which would be used to fill it. It only remains for a fair division of these waters to be made after it has been determined how they can be conserved to the best advantage. Any filing now made by the city of San Bernardino, Riverside or Orange counties, for waters of the Santa Ana river, must be made subject to the prior right of the Water Conservation Association. When it comes to a division of the waters conserved, is it not fair to assume that these waters will be divided between the different interests, regardless of county lines and without expensive litigation? The people of the three counties have so far worked harmoniously together in this conservation project. The people of the counties of San Bernardino and Riverside meeting the views of the people of Orange For the month of group averaged 340 producing an average 40.5 per cent per cent mortality. The larger group to the flock, production 43.2 per cent per cent mortality. This project began every month since have had a higher aid and until this had a lower per cent mortality. The highest indication was 53.3 per cent 27.4 per cent. The was 2.8 per cent and cent. Flocks represented group had from 165 and in the larger was 805 and up to 100.

ANAHEIM GAZETTE Placentians Picnic At County Park Celebrate Completion of $400,-000 Paving Program Warm tributes to the people of Placentia and the spirit of that enterprising community were paid by the speakers at the picnic held at Orange County Park Friday to mark the completion of the $400,000 paving project. Paul Bailey, recently appointed as engineer in charge of Orange county flood control and water conservation, who made the principal address at the gathering, strongly stressed the relationship between good roads and water development and flood protection. "Increased property values," he said, "always followin. the wake of road improvements, and they in turn involve more intensive cultivation and development, causing a greater demand for water and for flood control." Bailey told of the steps that were being taken for a survey of the water resources and of all channels and streams in the county, alluding to the fact that state engineers have already made a comprehensive study of the entire Santa Ana river watershed. "Water supply is of paramount importance to Southern California," he remarked, "because of the fact that the average rainfall in the territory south of the Tehachapi is only just about one-third of the requirements." In opening the program which followed the picnic luncheon under the oaks at the park, S. C. Tuffree, general chairman, traced Placentia's growth and development and called on A. S. Bradford and H. H. Hale as pioneer residents. He recalled the fact that Bradford was the founder of their thriving community, first settling there on a 60-acre tract. Tuffree referred with pride to the appointment of Hale on the advisory board for Orange county flood control. Hale in his response paid a neat compliment to the Griffith Paving Company for the fast time it had made in the construction of the new roads and in the manner in which the work had Pythians Hold Picnic At County Park Seventeen hundred men, women and children were present at Orange County park Saturday to attend the seventh annual picnic of Knights of Pythias of Southern California. The day was a happy one for picnickers and many features of entertainment were provided, including a series of sport contests for old and young. The committee on sports was a group of men from the lodge at Downey, while Edward Coochems, of Santa Ana, was chairman of the program on entertainment. Visiting Pythians were present from Ohio, Arizona, and Wisconsin, and visiting Edward Sisters represented the state of Texas, Colorado, Idaho, Nevada, Illinois, Oklahoma and Iowa. Music was provided by the Downey Chamber of Commerce band and the Downey Junior band, the organizations being under the leadership of Caesar Mettle of Downey. J. A. Gilbert of Reedley, supreme representative of the indurance department of the organization, was one of the distinguished officials present. A basket lunch was one of the features of the day. There was no program of addresses. Pollution of Water Must Stop, Claim Holding that the flow of carbonaceous substances into the Pacific Ocean from the oil fields at Hunting Beach pollutes the waters and constitutes a public nuisance, the State of California has taken legal steps to abate the alleged nuisance by filing an injunction suit against 56 oil companies operating in the Huntington Beach field. Action was said to have been commenced through the initiative of the state fish and game commission, which objects to the alleged wholesale destruction of fish by the polluted waters. B. D. Marx Greene, attorney for the fish and game commission, is associated with Attorney General U. S. Webb and through the maximum tractions. Avocado Hot An announcement directs readers to visit its website for more information regarding this event. For the month of July the smaller group averaged 340 birds to the flock, producing an average of 115 eggs per ten. 40.5 per cent production and 1.51 per cent mortality. The larger group averaged 936 birds to the flock, producing 13.4 eggs per ten. 43.2 per cent production and 1.53 per cent mortality. This project began in February, and every month since the larger flocks have had a higher average egg production and until this month's summary had a lower per cent mortality. The highest individual flock production was 53.3 per cent and the lowest 27.4 per cent. The highest mortality was 2.8 per cent and the lowest 5.7 per cent. Flocks represented in the smaller group had from 165 birds to 524 birds, and in the larger group the smallest was 805 and up to 1129 birds. The highest individual flock mortality was found in the smaller group and the lowest in the larger group. Likewise, the highest egg production was found in the larger group and the lowest individual flock production was in the smaller group. If calves are dropped in the fall, they may be weaned following spring and put on pasture, where they should do well if the pasture is good. Make the change gradually. Those inclined to be unthrifty should get a little grain, but the more vigorous ones will probably not need any additional feed. Hale in his response paid a neat compliment to the Griffith Paving Company for the fast time it had made in the construction of the new roads and to the manner in which the work had been carried on with a minimum of convenience to traffic. Secretary Tom Pickerill of the Placentia Chamber of Commerce, read a letter from Charles E. Lee, now of Sanger, during whose incumbency as chamber secretary the ambitious road program had been initiated. This communication warmly congratulated the community on its achievements. Enconiums were paid by William Schumacher, chairman of the county board of supervisors, to Lee and the people of Placentia for their broad vision and enterprise in carrying to fruition such a great program as exemplified by its $400,000 project. The other members of the supervisorial body—Col. S. H. Finley, George Jeffrey, Willard Smith, and John C. Mitchell—gave brief responses and added to the general meed of tribute. All of the talks, including that of Engineer Bailey were brief and to the point. Others who were introduced included Mayor H. O. Easton, of the newly-incorporated city of Placentia; city officials and George E. Griffiths, head of the paving company.

Webb and an announcement has been issued by the directors of the California Avocado Wonderful Sights of Southern California Visitors Find Scenic Tour Most Attractive Through Here The visitor to California is always enchanted with the circle tour from Los Angeles to San Diego, Imperial valley, via the west side of the Salton sea and through the Orange belt back to the starting point. Leaving Los Angeles, one follows the Coast route, the beauty of which is truly symbolic of Southern California. It lies through green, fragrant orange groves and walnut orchards till the old mission of San Juan Capistrano is reached. A few miles beyond this point one has the first view of the ever magnificent Pacific, with its foaming, white-crested waves. The ocean, with its ever changing beauty, is in sight for virtually the whole distance into San Diego. Leaving this city ever the Borderland highway, two routes diverge in the beautiful El Cajon valley, one leading north from the town of El Cajon to the Mesa Grande, Julian and Palomar districts, and the other through Bostonia, Alpine, etc., to Jacumba Hot Springs. A drive of 48 miles from this point brings the motorist from an elevation of 2800 feet to El Centro, below the sea level. Cotton picking, date gardens and scenic side trips to the Painted Gorge and Palm Canyon are features of this route which are ever interesting to motorists. If visited while in bloom, the desert is a thing of beauty and not soon forgotten. Miles of lavender, white and blue flowers border the highway. A ride of two or three hours brings one into the orange grove country again, after a very delightful sojourn in the mountains, by the seaside and through desert districts which offer the maximum of diversified scenic attractions.
