Engineer's Report on County Flood Control Submits Statement of Work in Formation of County District At a meeting last week of the board of supervisors and the citizens' advisory committee, relative to the progress made by the engineering investigations of the Orange county flood control district, Paul Bailey, engineer in charge, submitted his first report on the work of surveying the county. Because of the importance of the work, a citizens' advisory committee was appointed some week ago, to assist the supervisors and to submit details of the progress, and keep that body informed on the subject. The committee is composed of J. J. Dwyer of Anaheim, N. T. Edwards, Orange; H. H. Hale, Placentia; J. A. Knapp, Garden Grove; C. E. Utt, Tustin, and W. B. Williams, Santa Ana. Engineer Bailey's report; which he submitted at the last meeting, was as follows: To the Board of Supervisors and Citizens' Advisory Committee Gentlemen: Herewith is submitted the first of a series of reports that will record from time to time the work done and the progress made in the engineering investigations preparatory to the formulation of a comprehensive plan of flood control and conservation for Orange county. In compliance with the instructions of the chairman of the board of supervisors, work began on September first and is proceeding as rapidly as is commensurate with thorough and effective effort. A large organization has not been assembled because it is believed superior accomplishments may be attained at less expense by a small group effectively employed than by a large organization. At present the entire payroll comprises 12 persons, four of whom are assistants on the one Gold party. Since receiving the first instructions from the chairman of the board of supervisors, two joint meetings of the board and its advisory committee have and conservation problems of Orange county. It is planned to make a thorough engineering analysis of flood flows and seasonal run-off in the Orange county streams. Since measurements have been made only on the Santa Ana river and Santiago creek for seven years, this will have to be carried out largely by comparison with other Southern California streams, and with rainfall records. There are several streams in other parts of Southern California with 15 to 30 years of record with which Orange county streams may be compared. In order to facilitate this, measurements will be made on all Orange county streams through the present season. Two current meters have been purchased for this purpose and staff gauges are being placed at convenient points for observation. Because of the desirability of observing the Orange county streams through this winter for use in the flood flow and run-off analyses, the flood and water supply studies cannot be completed until next summer. However, preliminary estimates are being prepared for working purposes so that other studies of the investigations may proceed without delay. Other studies have been initiated, but have not proceeded far enough to report progress at present such as a thorough geologic examination of Santa Ana canyon and the relocation of the Santa Fe railroad. Several miles of this line in the Santa Ana canyon will have to be moved if a dam is constructed at any point in the canyon. The geologic study has been started in order to gain knowledge of the geologic structure underlying the reservoir and dam sites. This is necessary in considering the safety of proposed dams and their effect upon the underground flow in the canyon.

"States and Nations in Flowers" is to be the theme of the forthcoming tournament, and each of the ninety or more huge floats in the floral parade will represent a nation or a state. Sixty sterling silver trophies will be awarded to the floats which are deemed by a board of judges as the best in the various classes and divisions of the pageant. In keeping with the tournament of Roses custom, most of the forty-old California cities participating in the big mid-winter fete have thrown heavy veils of secrecy around the plans for their floats, but a few have divulged the names of the states or nations which they will depict. Among the states to be represented are Pennsylvania, New York, Illinois, New Jersey, Kentucky, District of Columbia, Utah, Delaware, Maryland and California. Nations which will be portrayed include Scotland, Italy, Holland, Spain, China, Norway and Arabia. In creating their entries, competitors may be just as artistic and original as they life, but every float must be a floral creation, and only fresh natural flowers may be used. The Tournament of Roses Association's own non-competitive entry, which leads the parade, will represent America and, as usual, will be created from countless thousands of vari-colored roses. Distinguished guests who will attend the tournament and ride in flower-adorned automobiles near the head of the parade include Edward E. Spafford of New York, national commander of the American Legion; Mayor James A. Rolph of San Francisco, and the mayors and city officials of all the larger cities in Southern California. It will be Commander Spafford's first visit to the Pacific coast since he was elected to head the American Legion at Paris last summer. Among the unusual features to be seen in this year's parade will be the massed colors of seventy American Legion posts. Each of the posts will send two flags and flag bearers. The thirty bands in the pageant will include a feminine aggregation, the girls' band from Taft Union high school, for the first time in tournament history. President C.

No attempt should be made to draw conclusions until adequate data is at hand for a thorough consideration of all alternatives and possibilities. The engineering work now in progress is largely the assemblage of the data necessary to formulate the plan of flood control and conservation in accord with the foregoing principles. Foremost amongst these data are the surveys of reservoir sites. These are being made on every stream in the county by the district's field party. The plane table is being used entirely and, by working to a refinement no greater than is needed for these studies, rapid progress is being made. Surveys of alternate sites are being included, and the surveys are being extended to considerably greater reservoir capacities than is thought may be required. In this way data will be at hand for the discussion of all possibilities. Since October 8, the day of placing the party in the field, the following surveys have been completed, excepting those on Trabuco creek that are now half done.

The party is now working in the Santa Ana canyon, extending the surveys of the state engineer's office so that a third reservoir site on the Santa Ana river may be considered. The surveys will continue until all streams in the county have been covered. The office force has traced the maps surveyed by the field party and computed the reservoir capacities for several heights of dams at the different sites. Much data has been copied and assembled from engineering reports and national offices that will be necessary for a complete discussion of the flood head the American Legion at Paris last summer.

Los Angeles St. U.S. Leads World In Power Resources Water Furnishes 11,700,000 in Horsepower for Industries The extent of the industrial development of a nation, which is the modern measure of its civilization, can probably be gaged best by the extent of its use of mechanical energy. For this reason it is interesting to compare the extent to which the water power resources of various countries have been utilized and the progress which is being made in building new plants. In both respects, according to an estimate made by the Department of the Interior through the geological survey, the United States leads all other countries of the world, and in the capacity of its constructed plants it nearly equals all Europe. The total for the United States at the end of 1926 was 11,700,000 horsepower for plants of 100 horsepower or more, as against 13,100,000 horsepower in Europe, presumably for plants of all sizes. In the six-year period, 1921 to 1926, the capacity of constructed plants in the United States of 100 horsepower or more increased 3,800,000 horsepower, while in Europe the increase in plants of all sizes was 4,200,000 horsepower. During the last three years of that period, however, the rate of increase in the United States was much greater than during the first three years, whereas the rate of increase in Europe showed a decline. The leading countries in Europe in the use of water power and the capacity in horsepower of their constructed plants in 1926 are as follows: Italy, 2,300,000; France, 2,000,000; Norway, 1,900,000; Switzerland, 1,850,000; Sweden, 1,350,000. The developed water power of Africa amounts to only about 14,000 horsepower, but Japan has built plants aggregating 1,750,000 horsepower; and India 200,000 horsepower. New Zealand has some large plants under construction, but those completed have a capacity of 60,000 horsepower. The Dutch islands of Java, Sumatra, and Celebes have plants of 80,000 horsepower. California agricultural interests in the matter. "I think that nearly everyone engaged in agriculture will concede that Mexican labor is the only supply of common labor left to us, and that if it were taken away our peak harvests could not be made and that the situation of agriculture would be very serious indeed," stated Mr. Teague in reviewing the subject. The Central Chamber of Agriculture and Commerce, representing agriculturists of southwestern states, meeting at El Paso last month, passed a declaration of principles, in which it was stated that "should proposed restrictive measures be enacted imposing the quota on Mexico, the agricultural industry of this region, not yet recovered from the post-war depression; would receive another staggering blow." The resolution of the exchange board of directors, which has been sent to California senators and representatives at Washington, follows: Whereas. There is a movement on foot to change the present immigration laws which would include Mexico among the countries subject to quota restrictions, thus practically eliminating the continued supply of labor from that country; Whereas, Mexico has for years furnished a satisfactory and adequate source of labor supply for the agricultural industries of the Southwest which has made possible their present development; Whereas, There is no other man power available for this class of work, and a close source of labor supply is necessary to handle the seasonal peaks of the different crops; Whereas, Any interference with this labor supply would seriously reduce the total output and consequently increase the price of essential foodstuffs to the consumer; and Whereas, The California citrus industry represents an investment of $300,000,000 and such interference with DRESS WELL AND S Last Minute Gift Men appreciate sensible gifts.

These states are Illinois, New York and Pennsylvania. Throughout the country it is predicted that 23,000 persons will comprise the 1927 death toll, and approximately 1800 Californians will have died from automobile accidents.
