Anaheim, Cal., February 9, 1928 Legal Status of Our Windbreaks Discussed “What is the legal status of windbreak plantings?” is frequently asked by growers contemplating the establishment of windbreaks. According to eminent legal authorities in this state, a windbreak established on the property line is the common property of both owners and cannot be removed without the mutual consent of both. Other phases of the law relative to these plantings will be presented during the windbreak tour scheduled for Friday, February 10, at 2 p.m. A large attendance is expected, according to Farm Advisor Wahiberg, from the many inquiries registered at this office. Several typical windbreak plantings will be visited to illustrate the management and care of the plantings. The tour will start at the place of C. J. Klatt, East Seventeenth street, corner of Tustin avenue, two miles east of Santa Ana. All growers are invited to take the trip and hear the discussion on this important phase of orchard protection. In February and March eggs begin to be abundant again, and any time during the spring it is good policy to put down a few of the surplus eggs in waterglass as soon as they are taken from the nest. Next fall you will be glad to have them. The United States Department of Agriculture will tell you exactly how to save these eggs so that they will be in perfect condition when taken out of the waterglass solution.

Miller, prominent Anaheim citrus grower, who died late Sunday at the Glendale sahitarium, were held from the Backs, Terry & Campbell funeral chapel yesterday afternoon at 2 o'clock. The deceased was the wife of Burton Miller, formerly a prominent citrus grower here, now retired. Mr. and Mrs. Miller lived on a ranch near Anaheim for six years previous to removing to Altadena, two years ago. Mr. and Mrs. Philip A. Stanton were in town from Seal Beach a day or two ago, and made a very pleasant call at this office. They had been visiting at their ranch at Brookshurst, and drove over to see a number of their friends in town. Showing a slight decrease as compared with the month of December last year, Anaheim building permits issued during the month of January aggregated $18,626, according to report by R. Nyboe, city building inspector. Improvements to business buildings constituted the principal feature of the month's building activities, 10 of the 18 permits issued during this time covering such work. Three residences were started during the month, ranging in value from $3000 to $5000. Permits issued during the month of December totaled $27,773, and for the month of January, last year, $20,563. Nyboe reported. Lester Slaback, Anaheim high school student, was injured Saturday morning when his motorcycle collided with a car at the intersection of Orangothorpe and Spadra roads. Three ribs were fractured, and he sustained minor injuries. Victor David of Los Angeles was driving the automobile. Calvary Baptist church officials have applied to superior court for permission to mortgage its property at Broadway and Citron street for $8000. The loan Schumacher Takes Flight in Airplane First Passenger to Enjoy Ride From Orange County Airport William Schumacher, chairman of the board of supervisors, holds the honor of being the first passenger to take off in a plane from the Orange county airport. Schumacher, with Vern I. Splech and S. P. Hershey, pilot, left the ground Tuesday afternoon in the official ship of the adjuvory committee on aeronautics, flew over the field, and returned to make a perfect landing. The flight is said to be noteworthy, owing to the fact that nothing has been done to the surface of the area to make it usable. It was dry and level, according to reports. The entire board, with the aviation committee, was at the port, while W. K. Hilyard, county surveyor, accompanied the party. He has prepared a map of the field for use in getting it into perfect shape. The committee has decided to plow and level 90 acres of the 160-acre area immediately. It also is planned to build an oilled road from the paved highway into the port, a distance of 1500 feet. Power Resources of The State of Oregon The potential water power resources of Oregon amount to 3,665,000 horsepower as estimated from the stream flow available 90% per cent of the time, or 5,890,000 horsepower as estimated fro nthe nite flow for 50 per cent of the time. If storage is provided in feasible reservoir sites, according to a statement made public by the Department of the Interior based on field work and studies of the geological survey. River surveys have been made and maps published by the geological survey covering 1674 miles of rivers in Oregon. The river surveys included a number of reservoir sites, and in addition 47 dam sites were surveyed on a large scale. County Watershed Absorbs Rainfall No Run-Off During Last Storm, According to Bailey Information showing the capacity of Orange county watersheds to soak up rainfall without a run-off was gained by Engineer Paul Bailey of the county flood control district Saturday, when two engineering parties measured the flow of storm water in various streams of the county. The storm of last week, which registered a precipitation varying from an inch to nearly two inches at different localities in the valleys, measured this capacity of the watershed almost exactly. Bailey announced. The field parties learned that the watershed absorbed virtually all of the rain that fell in the recent storm, but had reached the point where any further precipitation would have run off. As it was, the run-off was slight, being barely noticeable in the streams with small drainage areas. Bailey sent his parties into the field for two purposes: 1. To gain information bearing upon the question of maximum run-off, to be taken into account in providing flood control. 2. To ascertain water production in the drainage areas within the county. In most sections the streams came up very little. Trabuco and San Juan creek, in southern Orange county, had a negligible flow. Santiago creek, in the central section, came up Saturday afternoon with a "fair" flow. The Santa Ana river showed the most effect of the storm, with its wider draining area, and, for the first time this season, carried a flow of water to the ocean Saturday. LEGION NOTES Mrs. Irene McIntyre Walbridge, national president of the American Legion Lester Slaback, Anaheim high school student, was injured Saturday morning, when his motorcycle collided with a car at the intersection of Orangethorpe and Spadra roads. Three ribs were fractured, and he sustained minor injuries. Victor David of Los Angeles was driving the automobile. Calvary Baptist church officials have applied to superior court for permission to mortgage its property at Broadway and Citron street for $500. The loan is to be made by the Southern County Bank. Rainfall during the storm last week measured 1.34 of an inch, bringing the total for the season in Anaheim close to 10 inches. Both Fullerton and Orange report dover two inches for the storm. A move to revise salaries of elective officers of the Fullerton city administration was instituted at the city council meeting Tuesday night, when it was decided to submit the change of salaries to the voters at the coming city election. An amendment to the salary ordinance will be drawn up, in which the salary of the city councilmen will be increased from $10 a month to $50 a month. The salary of the city treasurer is to be increased to $100 per month, and that of the city clerk increased to $250. This revision will become effective following the election if the salary increase is passed by the public. U. S. C. Track Team Begins Serious Work Headed by Captain Lee Barnes, the track team of the University of Southern California swings into the serious work of its preparation for the 1928 season this week. With semester examinations safely over, many athletes are able to devote more time to track work than they have been able to spare in the past. Dean B. Cromwell, starting his sixteenth season as head coach of track, confidently expects a good season in the intercollegiate meets. His main reliance is placed on the multitudes of hurdlers, pole vaulters and broad jumpers who are returning to school. The Trojans may be defeated in one or more of their important dual meets, but there are track observers who state that the 1928 squad looms up as one of the most powerful in history. Lack of capable performers in the weights events will hurt Cromwell's chances to a great extent. Jim Stewart, from Fort Worth, Texas, may develop into a capable performer, as may Harold Silbert and Mike Donahue, but generally it takes years to fully iron out the kinks in a good prospect. Sutherland California, which in 1924 placed six men on the American Olympic track and field team, will be very well represented this year also. Among the team prospects are Captain Lee Barnes, who will be defending his 1924 games. Some idea of what nearly six million horsepower of potential water power in the rivers of Oregon may mean to the future of the state can be gained fro mthe fact that so far only about 3 per cent of these water power resources have been utilized and that with complete development the installed capacity of water wheels might amount to eight million horsepower or more. The latter figure may be compared with the installed capacity of water wheels in plants of 100 horsepower or more in the whole United States, which at the end of 1926 amounted to 11,721,000 horsepower. Some of the large rivers in Oregon for which recent estimates have been made by the geological survey are listed below; the figures are based on the flow available 50 per cent of the time. The figures for the Columbia river and the Snake and Klamath river basins represent only Oregon's share of the resources of these rivers: Horsepower Cutumbia river.....1,408,000 Klamath river basin.....132,000 Umqua river basin.....561,000 Rogue river basin.....532,000 Snake river basin.....823,000 Deschutes river basin.....734,000 In its work of classifying the public lands, as provided by law, the geological survey is collecting detailed information concerning the agricultural and mineral character and power site value of every tract of public land, and thus obtaining a mass of information concerning natural resources that is of great value to the states containing these lands. In Oregon, for example, the Klamath, Rogue, and Umqua rivers have been described in water power reports made public in manuscript form. The power and irrigation resources of Deschutes river are described in Water Supply Paper No. 344, which can be obtained from the Superintendent of Documents, Washington, D.C., for 50 cents. Many of the maps of the rivers of Oregon have been published by the geological survey in its regular water supply papers. Others are published as river survey maps, which can be purchased for 10 cents a sheet from the geological survey, Washington, D.C. The sections of rivers covered by these surveys made before 1927 are listed in Water Supply Paper No. 558, which can be purchased for 25 cents from the Superintendent of Documents. The manuscript reports on the water power resources of Oregon and the maps of its rivers may be consulted at the branch office of the geological survey covering 1674 miles of rivers in Oregon. The river surveys included is number of reservoir sites, and in addition 47 dam sites were surveyed on a large scale. Elaborate entertainment is being planned for Mrs. Walbridge and for Mrs. Edna Duvel, national chapaue of the Eight and Forty Society of the auxiliary, who is traveling with the auxiliary president. American Legion posts will vie with their sister organizations in the California reception to the visitors who will arrive in this state on February 18 and sail for Honolulu on February 25. The two visitors will arrive in Los Angeles on February 18 and after an inspection tour of the veterans' hospitals in the South, will be given a luncheon by the Los Angeles county council of the American Legion Auxillary at the Roosevelt hotel, Hollywood. On February 21, an affair will be given for the two visitors at the Elks Club at Sacramento, and on February 23 a luncheon at the Hotel St. Francis, San Francisco, by the auxiliary organizations in the various northern California counties will be on the schedule. Veterans' hospitals and the two billlets maintained by the auxiliary and Legion groups, for the children of World war veterans at Oakland and at Burbank will be inspected by Mrs. Walbridge and Mrs. Duvel, in company with Mrs. Ethel Hearst, state president of the California American Legion Auxiliary, who will journey about the state with the two national officers. California headquarters of the American Legion has just received handsome silver trophy given by the late Frederic W. Galbraith Jr., at the time of his death, nathalian commander of the Legion, to the state which recorded the greatest "man-miles" in attendance at the national convention of the organization. The cup is a perpetual trophy and goes each year to the state department with the greatest "man-miles" for the convention of that year. For The Paris, France, convention last fall, California chalked up 7,700,000 "man-miles" in the attendance of her 1136 delegates and visitors to the big meeting abroad. In 1923 California also won the trophy. "No general pension has been asked or considered necessary by the American Legion," declares State Commander Phil Dodson of South Pasadena, in answer to queries coming into the state headquarters of the Legion here. A move has been made by certain members of congress to seek a general Lack of capable performers in the weights events will hurt Cromwell's chances to a great extent. Jim Stewart; from Fort Worth, Texas, may develop into a capable performer, as may Harold Silbert and Mike Donahue, but generally it takes years to fully iron out the links in a good prospect. Sutherland California, which in 1924 placed six men on the American Olympic track and field team, will be very well represented this year also. Among the team prospects are Captain Lee Burrens, who will be defending his 1924 games championship; Charley Borah, last year collegiate champion in the 100 and 220-yard dash events; Jim Stewart, discus thrower, high jumper, and shot putter, who will be trained as a decathlon candidate; Jesse Hill, Pacific Coast Conference champion in the broad jump; Clifton Reynolds, high hurdler and broad jumper; Alex Graham, 220 low hurdler and holder of the Pacific Intercollegiate meet record of 24 seconds flat; and Jack Williams and Bill Hubbard, pole vaulters, both of whom have negotiated 13 feet 6 inches. Victor Fitzmaurice, national inter-collastic mile champion from New Utrecht high school, in Brooklyn, N.Y., is expected to develop into one of the best distance runners ever to enter the University of Southern California here. Fitzmaurice holds the New York City scholastic record of 4:36 for a mile indoors. It is entirely normal for a 15-year-old boy to require an unusual amount of food. He is growing rapidly, and using his energies in hundreds of ways. He needs a pint or more of milk a day, either as a drink or in soup, cocoa, puddings, and so forth. He needs also eggs and some meat, cooked cereals for breakfast, bread made from whole-grain flours, plenty of fruit, all kinds of vegetables—some of them served raw—and sweets only at the end of meals. He will want larger portions of everything than most of the other members of the family. It has been found by students of nutrition that a boy between 15 and 18 may need 1.1 times as much energy food as a grown man, and about 1.5 times as much food supplying protein and minerals. Many of the maps of the rivers of Oregon have been published by the geological survey in its regular water supply papers. Others are published as river survey maps, which can be purchased for 10 cents a sheet from the geological survey, Washington, D.C.

Old-Time Citizen Passes Away Sunday Richard Spoerl, who has been a resident of Anaheim for the past 43 years, died at his home on East Broadway Sunday morning, at the age of 80 years. He was born in Germany, but came to America 62 years ago, most of his time being spent in Anaheim. Mr. Spoerl was a gunsmith, and for many years engaged in that business here, but finally retired from business. He is survived by his widow, Mrs. Henrietta Spoerl, and a daughter, Mrs. John Kellenberger; also a brother, who resides in Germany. Deceased was a member of the Anaheim lodge of Masons, and the local lodge assisted Dr. Benjamin S. Haywood, pastor of the White Temple Methodist church, in conducting the funeral services, which were held from the Backs, Terry & Campbell funeral chapel Tuesday afternoon, at 2 o'clock. Burial was made in Long Beach. Calvin says he has not yet picked out his next job, but we bet it will be a good one.

"No general pension has been asked or considered necessary by the American Legion," declares State Commander Phil Dodson of South Pasadena, in answer to queries coming into the state headquarters of the Legion here. A move has been made by certain members of congress to seek a general pension act on behalf of the veterans of the World war. Commander Dodson has issued the following statement as to the destiny and purpose of the American Legion: "The Legion believes that its paramount duty is to alleviate the sufferings of those who gave their all for their country and to smooth out the rough, rugged road of the children of those who gave their lives in its behalf. The aims of the Legion have received the commendation of the American people. The unselfish devotion of the Legion to community interests has firmly established the organization as a very definite, worthwhile asset in every locality. The American Legion asks little and is willing to give much that it may be a substantial stone in the foundation structure of modern society. "There is a very definite duty for the American Legion to perform in keeping alive the spirit of unity of purpose and of action as a national organization, that it may continue to meet the approval of all the people. "As an emergency unit, it stands ready to meet the responsibilities of the occasion of calamity, fire and pestilence, as a valuable asset to the governing bodies affected. Let us of the Legion strive to do our utmost in the problems presented to our community, ever seeking new opportunities to lend a helping hand where a helping hand may be sorely needed. Let us do unto others as we would have others do unto us." California headquarters of the American Legion has indorsed the move for a grand reunion this year of the Blue and Gray veterans of the Civil war, as proposed to National Commander Edward E. Spafford of the Legion by Colonel T. H. Posey of the Confederate Home at Austin, Texas. "The proposed meeting has our warm approval and good wishes, and if such a plan is adopted, we shall urge every post of the Legion to take appropriate action to help crystallize public opinion and congressional aid that the reunion might be realized within the present year in the magnificent manner glorifying those heroes of the North and the South that they may be reunited as the nation is reunited," State Adjutant James K. Fisk declares. CHURCH NOTICE First Church of Christ, Scientist—a branch of The Mother Church, The First Church of Christ, Scientist, in Boston, Mass.—Philadelphia street at Chartres.
