E. Utt Prophesys That the County Will Be A Solidly Built-Up City in a Hundred Years, and the Agriculture Will Disappear. There appears to be no cause for uneasiness over the expressed opinion of certain attorneys that a majority vote for flood control bonds would invalidate the bonds and cause bond buyers to refuse them in the market. At a meeting of the flood control board some days ago, Engineer Paul Bailey stated that he had consulted the Attorney General and that official had expressed the opinion that the election would be legal and bonds carried by a majority vote would not be invalidated. In all probability the election will soon be called but it is not determined yet the amount of money to be asked for. No selection has yet been made for the site of the dam, but several have been presented to the supervisors and advisory board for consideration. The site must be determined on before the election is called. A. J. Wiley, Charles H. Paul and F. C. Hermann, members of the consulting board of engineers, now reviewing the county's engineering plan, were introduced to members of the flood control board yesterday. C. E. Utt of Tustin, member of the board, voiced the prediction yesterday that within 100 years from now agriculture will have disappeared entirely from Orange county. For that reason Utt urged that Orange county should participate to the fullest extent in Colorado river development, saving the local water supply for agriculture, and using the Colorado river supply for domestic purposes. Then, when this county is a solid metropolitan area, the city or cities will have both water supplies. Utt pointed out. In his report dated March 21, Paul Bailey, engineer for the Orange County Flood Control District, says: Since rendering the last report on the progress of the engineering investigations of the Orange County Flood Control District, the work has been almost entirely confined to shaping the analysis of the data assembled into final form so that decisions on alternate structures and accomplishment may be made in consultation with the Engineering Consulting Board appointed by the boar dof supervisors. The major field surveys were completed about one month ago and the field party has since been securing miscellaneous data need of which has become evident as the work progressed. It is anticipated that the party will complete all its work within the next two weeks. In all, topographic surveys have been completed of nineteen reservoir sites, and twenty-six miles of alternate railroad relocation have been run out in the Santa Ana Canyon. The field studies of the geologic character and structure of the rock at the dam sites have been pushed the last two months n order to complete this Groom Edwards For Governorship Orange County’s Senator Being Put Forward by His Friends Senator Nelson T. Edwards of Orange is being grooved for the Republican nomination for governor. He makes a statement to the effect that although not an active candidate, he would accept the nomination if it should be offered him. A movement has been started by friends of the senator for the purpose of making him the state’s chief executive, and considerable quiet work has been done in his behalf lately. Senator Edwards is one of the best known men in Southern California and will have heavy support here. He recently finished a term as state highway commissioner and is well posted on the highway system of the state, one of the most important matters now being considered. His introduction in the state legislature of a bill proposing an increase of 615 miles to its secondard system in the Southland has brought him prominently to the attention of Southern California men, who believe that the southland has not been getting a square deal in the matter of distribution of highways and highway funds, it was pointed out here by friends. According to reports, some of the strongest organizations in the southland have discussed seriously the selection of Edwards as agubernatorial candidate from the south. Jones Liquor Law Not Operative Here District Attorney Z. B. West Jr., states that he believes the decision of Superior Judge James L. Allen, that the Jones liquor law is ineffective in California, is absolutely correct. West agreed with Judge Allen, he said, in the opinion that the Wright act, California's liquor enforcement law, could not legally bind the state to accept future amendments to the Volstead law. That Judge Allen's decision may lead to the Jones law situation being brought before the state legislature, was indicated when it was pointed out in legal circles that that body could make the law effective by formally accepting it. Until that time, or until the advent of a possible decision in the matter by the supreme court, the law will not be effective in Orange First Service at W Tuesday Evening Hugh K.

It is anticipated that the party will complete all its work within the next two weeks. In all, topographic surveys have been completed of nineteen reservoir sites, and twenty-six miles of alternate railroad relocation have been run out in the Santa Ana Canyon. The field studies of the geologic character and structure of the rock at the dam sites have been pushed the last two months n order to complete this part of the work along with the rest. As many as eighteen men have been on the payroll at times in digging exploration pits and tunnels and in uncovering bedrock at salient points. Nine dam sites have been so explored under the immediate direction of Mr. Marilave, engineer-geologist of the staff. This work is now under way on the last three sites and will be completed within the next two weeks. In the office, maps, diagrams and estimates, together with the preliminary draft of the engineering report, setting forth the county-wide plan for controlling floods and conserving flood waters, have been brought to a form so that final discussions may proceed with the Engineering Consulting Board. This board, composed of Mr. A. J. Wiley, Boise, Idaho; Mr. Chas, H. Paul, Dayton, Ohio; and Mr. F. C. Herrmann, San Francisco, spent two weeks in Orange county in January, during which time they inspected the reservoir and dam sites and made a general review of the engineering work of the flood control district's staff. After taking six weeks to digest the information obtained on their first visit, they assembled again on March 18th for the final discussions that are now in progress. Before these come to a close, in addition to meeting with the board of supervisors and citizens' advisory committee, conferences will be held with a special committee appointed for this purpose from the Orange County Engineers' Association.

Whether chargeable to reckless driving or the increasing congestion of traffic o nthe highways it cannot be denied that serious automobile accidents on the roads of Orange county are becoming more numerous. Each week-end holiday furnishes its roster and generally there are fatalities on the list. Last Saturday and Sunday set a record in the county as the casualties amounted to three dead and twenty-one injured in car accidents. The most disastrous one reported was from San Onofre where the Portland baseball team, traveling in a truck, was forced off the road by another car and turned over several times before brining up against the wire fence. Denny Williams, an outfielder, was killed and Outfielder Art John; Infielders George Wrestling and Mack Hills. Pitcher Curt Fullerton and Catcher Tony Rego were seriously injured. The Beavers were on the way from San Diego to their training grounds at the Orange County park where they were scheduled to play a game with the Pittsburg Pirates Monday afternoon. Reo was driving his automobile at moderate speed when a car traveling south at what was described as a terrific rate; forced him off the highway which still was slippery from a recent shower. Skidding out of control, the Reo machine turned over several times and hit ta barbed fence borefere finally stopped upright. Williams was conscious but complained that he was unable to move his arms or his legs. He appeared in terrible pain. The franticle players halted a passing motorist who took Williams and Wuestling; the most seriously hurt to the San Cleme hospital. Williams died a few minutes after they reached the institution. Wuestling said Williams never complained despite his distress. His last words were: "I'm all right. I'm still with you." A coroner's jury conducting an inquiry over the body at San Cleme Monday exonerated Rego of any blame in connection wiht accident. The jury held that Williams' death resulted from Rego's car being forced from the road by another machine driven by "a person unknown." Alajo Martinez of Santa Ann died at the Orange county hospital at 2:30 o'clock Sunday morning of injuries received at 9 o'clock Saturday night on West Fifth street one mile west of the Fifth street bridge when he was run down by an automobile driven by Joe Plank; chief inspector for the narcotic division of the State of California. Martinez' death was due to a fractured skull and internal injuries according to a hospital report. He also suffered a broken leg. Pat Quinn, Huntington Beach land- Increased Sales Of Grapefruit Advertising Campaign in Pacific Coast Cities Brings Good Results Keeping step wit htle increased production and considerably increased shipment of California grapefruit this year, Sunkist advertising is paving the way for greater consumer acceptance of our grapefruit in California and the northwestern markets. A sixteen weeks' Sunkist grapefruit newspaper advertising campaign is just drawing to a close in newspapers of eight Pacific Coast cities. The combined circulation of one issue of the papers that carried this campaign reached 614,222 homes in this rich area. Beautifully colored cards in the street cars of San Francisco, Oakland and East Bay cities, Portland, Ore., Tacoma, Wash., Seattle, Wash., Vancouver, B. C., and Victoria, B. C. presents the story of Sunkist grapefruit in an attractive manner. Street cars showing the Sunkist grapefruit cards, if these cities carry over two million riders every day. Pacific Coast dealer service men have accomplished valuable merchandising service in behalf of California grapefruit, one man alone specializing on grapefruit, having made 964 exclusive grapefruit service calls. Displays either in the window or in the store, have been placed by this man in 484 stores, principally in the Northwest. From Portland, Ore., he reports that "In face of keen competition our missionary campaign has gained momentum and has been successful in getting the best class stores in town to stock California grapefruit." Demonstrations and special sales have been arranged by this man in such important Portland stores as Seely-Dresser Co., and Meier and Frank's, both large department stores. Reporting on a demonstration and special sale at one of the Metropolitan chain stores in Tacoma, Wash., our Seattle service man says, "Since last Saturday, a period of seven days, one hundred and seventy-five cases of size 80 grapefruit were sold." In San Francisco good progress is also reported by our man assigned to that district, reporting "A demonstration was conducted on Monday in one of the Jenny Wren (chain) markets. Their daily business is less than five boxes, but during the demonstration they sold over thirty boxes of Exchange grapefruit in two days." Bean Growers Get Another Big Slice Lima Crop Brings County More Than A Million Bringing the total amount so far received to over $1,000,000, lima bean payments totaling $134,600 are in the hands of Orange county growers as a result of the fourth distribution of the season by the growers' organization in Southern California. The payment was based on one cent a pound and brought the total so far received to eight cents a pound. Growers are expectin ganother payment of one and one-quarter cents this year, which would bring another "dividend" of approximately $168,000, placing the total well over $1,000,000. The San Joaquin Lima Bean Growers' Association received $48,000 in the last payment, the Smeltzer Association $43,000, the Greenville Association $42,000 and the Garden Grove Association $1,600. Most of the Garden Grove bean growers received their payments through road by another machine driven by a person unknown." Alja Martinez of Santa Ana, died at the Orange county hospital at 2:30 o'clock Sunday morning of injuries received at 9 o'clock Saturday night on West Fifth street, one mile west of the Fifth street bridge, when he was run down by an automobile driven by Joe Plank, chief inspector for the narcotic division of the State of California. Martinez' death was due to a fractured skull and internal injuries, according to a hospital report. He also suffered a broken leg. Pat Quinn, Huntington Beach landscape gardener, was instantly killed on Sunday afternoon, when he was run down by an automobile driven by F. P.

While in the "Cee" division, the Colonist youngsters swept to wins in nine places. Blewitt and Shoemaker both qualified in the varsity 100-yard dash, while Schutz placed in the 140-yard run for the varsity. Darnley, star hurdler, qualified in both high and low sticks for the "A" competition. The showing of the "Cee" warriors was even better than their big brothers, as they managed to grab off nine places which was also one less than qualified by the Huntington Beach preps. Those qualifying were Scott and Van Vorst in the 50-yard dash. Gomez and Meyers in the 100-yard dash. Meyers, Gomez and DR. LOUIS GUILD SPEAKER AT FORUM MEET SPEAKS IN BEHALF OF A STRICT OBSERVANCE OF LENTEN SEASON Pastor of the First Methodist Church in Los Angeles Entertained Large Audience Monday Night With Brilliant Talk; Other Speakers Contributed, and a Musical and Reading Program Followed. The chief speaker at the Men's Open Forum club at White Temple church Monday night was Dr. Louis Thurber Guild, pastor of the First Methodist church in Los Angeles. Exploring that the learned peoples Aged Resident Caller By Death Emile Roquet Passes Away at His Home on North Lemon Emile Roquet, father of Arthur and Octave Roquet, owners of two grocery stores, died at his home on North Lemon street Monday, at the age of 74 years. He had been a resident here for only two years, coming from the Middle West. Deceased was a native of Belgium but had resided in the United States for 42 years at the time of his death. Most of his life was spent in the mercantile business and for many years he conducted a chin of grocery stores in the Middle West, retiring from this business several years ago. Mr. Roquet and his widow, Mrs. Marie Roquet, who survives him, moved to Anaheim from Cedar Point, Ill., upon the death of their eldest son less than two years ago. Besides his widow and two sons here, he is survived by two other sons, Emille Jr., of Matherville, Ill., and George of New Windsor, Ill., and a sister in Llege, Belgium. The body is in care of the Backs, Terry and Campbell funeral chapel, and preparations are being made to send it back to La Salle, Ill., for burial. County Offering Sites for Park Discussion of five sites offered for state park purposes occupied the attention of members of the California Park Commission, at a meeting in the Los Angeles Chamber of Commerce offices.

Forster, who represent- Church in Los Angeles Entertained Large Audience Monday Night With Brilliant Talk; Other Speakers Contributed, and a Musical and Reading Program Followed. The chief speaker at the Men's Open Forum club at White Temple church Monday night was Dr. Loula Thurber Guild, pastor of the First Methodist church in Los Angeles. Exploring that the learned peoples of today have become too proud to accept the biblical tales of good and evil spirits, the doctor reminded his audience that many make a much greater effort in accepting the seifish mysticism of Oriental yogis. "There is an hierarchy of evil," he declared. "For all our refinements and our disbelief in devils and angels there are strange corridors of our dual minds that usher us to promptings of evil as well as good. Nature personifies good and evil in the Holy Land where the Mount of Olives seems touched with a blessing beneath a passover moon, and the Dead Sea reeks foully with its perpetual blight, far below. The war against evil is a trueless war." Presiding at the meeting was L. T. Writer, vice-president of the club. The principal speaker was introduced by Dr. Benjamin S. Haywood, pastor of White Temple Methodist church. Other features of the program included a talk by Floyd McCracken and a constitution oration. "The Invisible Government and Our Duties as Citizens to Support It," given by Miss Melva Roquet, high school student. "Traditions are the invisible government." Miss Roquet said. "Many of them are good, but good or bad they are to the nation as habits are to the individual." The speaker recommended that citizens be as cautious in their acceptance of political creeds as they have become in accepting statements of religious creed. An alert public opinion will dismiss traditions that have lost their usefulness, she declared. Five selections were sung by Chief Haskenaswood, Navajo Indian, who appeared before the group in tribal regalia. The songs presented by the baritone were: "Zuni Lover's Song," "Pale Moon," "Trade Winds," and "Guns," a lately composed selection by Jeffery O'Hara depicting the horrors of war. Its accompaniment was the crashing minor of artillery. Readings were given by Roxie Willis, Anaheim Union high school student who presented "Old King Pharoah's Daughter," and "Brother Jason's Sermon." Stuart Berger recited "Johnny Reads the Newspaper," and "Extinguished." He sang "The Rooster" and "The Turtle." ORANGE DIET That an orange a day keeps the doctor away has long been a recognized maxim, while much of the dental research work done during recent years County Offering Sites for Park Discussion of five sites offered for state park purposes occupied the attention of members of the California Park Commission, at a meeting in the Los Angeles Chamber of Commerce offices. Representing Orange county projects at the meeting were Tom Talbert, who presented the Huntington Beach site, and Capt. H. H. Hammer, W. H. Griswold and M. F. Forster, who represented the Rancho Santa Margarita for State Park association. Officials for the latter organization had arranged for an airplane trip over the big southern Orange county property, but press of business prevented the park board members from accepting the invitation. A property known as the Silver Strand, located in San Diego, also was presented. It was brought out that the U.S. Government owns 33 acres there and is willing to sell or lease its holdings. Other sites presented included one in the San Jacinto mountains and another in the San Bernardino mountains. The San Joaquin and Smeltzer organizations. The total received so far by the San Joaquin association was $338,590.80. The Smeltzer total was $350,000, while the total for Greenville was $336,000 today. Inasmuch as the present crop is being well cleaned up, it is expected that the bean growers will enter the new season with a practically clean slate and that the market situation in this respect for next year will be very satisfactory. January and February were heavy months for lina bean sales and the Southern nCalifornia association announced a few days ago that it was expecte dthat movements in the following weeks might be expected to be lighter because of this fact. An optimistic trend was seen in the announcement, however, which pointed to the fact that the crop is being disposed of in a satisfactory manner. Readings were given by Roxie Willis, Anaheim Union high school student who presented "Old King Pharoah's Daughter," and "Brother Jason's Sermon." Stuart Berger recited "Johnny Reads the Newspaper," and "Extinguished." He sang "The Rooster" and "The Turtle." ORANGE DIET That an orange a day keeps the doctor away has long been a recognized maxim, while much of the dental research work done during recent years has proved that an orange a day also keeps the dentist away. Word now Baltimore that an orange a day will come from Dr. George Walker of keep the lawyer away and decrease divorce. This Baltimore medical expert declares that more lime in the diet will sweeten life and insure unruffled domesticity. Absence of calcium hydrate seems to make men cruel and women nervous. Too much acid in the alimentary canal produces irritability. Squabbling may be laid at the door of an unbalanced menu. Dr. Walker recommends oranges for a happy home life. He believes an orange a day will keep the lawyer away and two oranges a day will make ambiability a household word. Instead of going to the lawyer a quarrelling pair should repair to the grocery. Instead of law they need lime. Lime is better than law to settle conjugal mixups. Divorce judges instead of signing interlocutory and final decrees may find themselves handling out oranges to parties seeking a servance of their domestic ties with this admonition—"Go and eat these"—knowing that the consumption of these fruits will insure peace in the divided home. A stellar role for rthe orange—the saver of homes. We don't know where Calvin Coolidge spent his first evening back in Northampton, but we would be willing to bet a little money that it wasn't at a cabaret.
