A petition drawn up by Victor Montgomery Esq., is being circulated for signatures asking the state board of equalization not to increase the value of the farming lands of this county ten per centum, as they proposed to do, and giving very pertinent reasons why the proposed increase would be unjust and unfair. We are pleased to announce a revival of business at Anaheim Landing. Besides large shipments of grain and dairy produce much of the export trade of our wine growers is going by way of the Landing. The imports by the port are on the increase, the freight rates being much cheaper than by rail. We are glad that our people are awakening to the fact that the Landing is a more efficient and powerful check to extortionate freight charges than all the Railroad Commissions that could be organized.

Porter put up a piece of paper the size of a dollar held by a nail in the center, at 110 steps. Taking out his rifle Frank said to his son George, "Bet you a dollar I hit it." "It's a go" replied George. Bing! went the rifle, and Frank drove the nail in. "Bet you five you can't do it again, dad" ventured George. "Put up" said Frank. Bing went the 30-30 again and the bullet went true to the nail point. George quit and said "the money's yours." I don't want your money, son, take it," chuckled Frank, "But when it comes to shooting you want to steer clear of the old man." Arthur Porter has placed on exhibition at the chamber of commerce three stalks of corn standing fourteen feet high which grew in one hill on his ranch on East Orangethorpe avenue. Each stalk contains two fine ears. Arthur has a ten acre patch of this kind of corn which he expects will yield 100 bushels to the acre. An Iowa corn expert looked at it a few days ago and pronounced it the finest he ever saw. The patch was planted May 4th and has been watered twice. MENTAL DISEASES BEING STUDIED Mental Hygiene Survey To Gather Data Over Entire State Conditions surrounding existence of mental diseases in California will soon be presented to the public in a surer by a few large operators. Facilities in this state for care, treatment, and prevention of disorders of the mind are all included in a "metal hygiene surey," which was begun last December. Gathering of data is nearly finished and compiling of the report will start by September 1. "The work in which we are now engaged will give a most comprehensive report of every phase of the problem." Care of the mentally sick will form one of the important chapters in the survey. Facilities existing in local communities for preliminary treatment, temporary care, and method of committing and transporting patients to hospitals were studied. Nearly every county in the state was visited to gather material for the report. The fact that a large number of mental patients were being cared form falls prior to commitment was noted. The question of readjustment of mental cases back to community life following release from a state hospital will form part of the final report. An attempt to establish a joint responsibility, whereby the state will care for the more unadjustable "mentally defective" types, while the community provides special education and vocational programs for those who can be helped without institutional care, will be suggested in the survey. The age-old problem of the "reform school" is being given special consideration. Here the predominating question is, does such a school actually affect a "reformation?" Arthur Porter has placed on exhibition at the chamber of commerce three stalks of corn standing fourteen feet high which grew in one hill on his ranch on East Orangethorpe avenue. Each stalk contains two fine ears. Arthur has a ten acre patch of this kind of corn which he expects will yield 100 bushels to the acre. An Iowa corn expert looked at it a few days ago and pronounced it the finest he ever saw. The patch was planted May 4th and has been watered twice, once when the corn was a foot high and again when it was going into roasting ears. The three stalks on display grew in one hill. A sample may be sent to the Los Angeles chamber of commerce. Who can beat it? Fifty votes were polled at the special school tax election on Saturday, all in favor of the tax. The trustees will proceed as soon as funds are available to lay cement sidewalks about the school buildings in town as well as to make other necessary improvements and provide additional facilities for the district.

He was well pleased with the town's prosperity and looks for still better times ahead for this section. F. P. Nickey of Santa Ana and A. E. Bird a contractor were severely injured at the Old Fellows building in course of construction in that town several days ago. The hoisting apparatus by which the heavy iron cornice was being put in place gave way; letting the cornice fall. Pike was struck by the cornice and suffered the fracture of a leg and a severe cut on the face, Nickey escaped the cornice but fell into the basement breaking an arm and sustaining numerous minor injuries. Sheldon Littlefield is negotiating with Los Angeles parties for the sale of his mine in Arizona. Sheldon is associated with two other miners of the territory and the mine is said to run rich in ore. New Method of Bird Hunting A new stunt for rodeo performers was originated by Harry Bryan and Dave Harford of Gerber, while cruising on Sacramento river in a motorboat. The men suddenly encountered a pelican. It refused to budge from the water, where it gobbled up fish. Finally the anchor was cut from a rope. Bryan made a lasso, hurled it about the beak and the neck of the bird and bulldogged the captive to the boat. The pelican is now in a pen on the river's edge at Tehama. E. B.
