Cuttle Reports Lower Water Levels In All Santa Ana River Basins, Takes Up Spreading, Litigation, Other Problems Water Conservation President Makes Annual Statement, Showing Little Spreading in Last Year and Charging "500 Second Feet at One Time Passing Chapman Avenue Bridge Lower water levels in all basins along the Santa Ana river should spur water conservation and flood control efforts. President Francis Cuttle of the Water Conservation association states in his annual report, released last Friday at Riverside. The report takes up spreading of water, in which Orange county is particularly interested, extension of the spreading systems, transfer of lease to the United States army, litigation, a report on the national rivers and harbors congress meeting at Washington, and other subjects affecting water problems of Orange, Riverside an San Bernardino counties. The complete report follows: Water Conditions Lowering water levels in all sections of the watershed of the Santa Ana river is mute evidence and appeal for conservation of all water available, whether it occurs in the form of torrential storms, which do damage, or more flow. Spreading Water Water has been available for spreading puproses for only about two days during the past winter, and, during that time, a large proportion of the flow escaped into the Pacific ocean. Mr. Hoy reported approximately 500 second feet at one time passing the Chapman avenue bridge in Orange county, from which point to the ocean there is little absorption. The writer observed the flow under Tippercanoe avenue bridge on January 1st, and estimated approximately the same amount passing down the river at that point. As water was available for only two days during the past season, there was diverted and spread through the associative lines feet laid in the later prevent cutting, these ditches sand.

Mr. Hoy reported approximately 500 second feet at one time passing the Chapman avenue bridge in Orange county, from which point to the ocean there is little absorption. The writer observed the flow under Tippercanoe avenue bridge on January 1st, and estimated approximately the same amount passing down the river at that point. As water was available for only two days during the past season, there was diverted and spread through the association's system only 222.25 acre feet, as shown by the recording device in stalled by the United States geological survey at our Venturi Weir. The loss of 500 second feet of water into the ocean for any length of time is most deplorable, and is in an appeal to all interested parties in the Santa Ana river watershed to cooperate in flood control and conservation of all water. Extension of Spreading System From July 1st, 1933 to April 1st, 1934, nineteen laterals have been built from our main canal, varying in length from 700 to 5850 feet. In all there has been constructed 18,690 feet east of Orange street, and 30,725 feet west of Orange street. In addition to this, the main ditch has been extended 11,035 feet. This involved the moving of 77,540 cubic yards of material. Concrete diversion boxes have been built to divert water from the main channel into the laterals, and 66 check dams have been built in the laterals, and 19 diversion gates in the main canal; 165 new pipe outlets have been put in, in the laterals.

Lemon — Telephone 2101 ANAHEIM GAZETTE POLITICAL STEW Served With a Dash of Local Flavor. Specially Prepared To the Recipe of the Orange County Weekly Newspaper Association. By PAUL E. TICKS QUESTION TO CANDIDATES A question that has been uppermost in the minds of most of the weekly publishers of the county, as well as the smaller commercial printers, relates to printing of cards, circulars, window cards, etc., for political candidates. It has become almost a holy precedent that all political printing should carry the union bug. We of the weekly papers have no prejudice against the unions or their insignia, professionally referred to as the bug. There are undoubtedly places in the country where non-union cards would be political suicide. We do not believe this to be the case in Orange county, however. Union labor in practically any field in this county represents a minority of the capital investment in that field. With every intent to be fair, we ask the question—should the majority of both the newspaper job printing establishments as well as the big majority of the commercial printers of the county be discriminated against so that all the cards and all printed material should have the bug—which is the privilege of so small a percentage of the establishments to use? The employees of the non-union shops are friendly to the general aims of union labor. They have been paid, all through the depression upon a higher scale than in almost any other type of business in the county. The non-union printers of the county represent a large investment and pay a considerable amount in taxes. Is it fair for candidates to demand—exclusively, union printing in this county, thereby patronizing perhaps 5% of the printers while at the for the position of sheriff of Orange county. SERA Mike Hogue, mayor of Brea and contestant for the position of SERA director for Orange county, has accepted a position as investigator for the state board of equalization. R. C. Branlon, administrator for the state of California, is supposed to select a director for the county. In the meantime Shottland is acting in this capacity. Rumor states that the very vigorous battle waged by the SERA board, ending in a deadlock with three votes for Hogue and three for Bill Tway, made a stir in the councils of the state Big Wigs. Maybe this is the reason for the seemingly long delay in the selection of the director. In the meantime, the SERA board states that the work of allocating and approving projects is definitely not being held up. Any delay is due to the fact that money for the various non-approved projects is not available. When the authorization for spending the funds is received, then the projects will be put on the fire. WHY? Why has the candidacy of a gentleman from Riverside, for the nomination on the democratic ticket for congress from the 19th district, been held under wraps by the daily papers? This column had the dope and was prepared to shoot it as information to our readers prior to the closing of the date for filing of candidates, but we had no confirmation on lists, so withheld it. Had we found his name listed we would have scooped the dailies in developing a significant fact. Recently, several The program was very crowded, few speakers being permitted to occupy more than five minutes, which was wholly inadequate to present the merits of any project intelligently. The writer, in one of these five minute periods, attempted to stress the necessity for the protection of watershed cover, as illustrated by the Montrose disaster. The resolutions adopted by the congress, among them commended and endorsed the president's suggestion that "A general planning commission be created to the end that the United States now enter upon a general, national development, on a long term basis, of any rivers, harbors and canals, flood control reservoirs, levees, navigation, water conservation, irrigation, power projects, soil erosion and reforestation, and such other meritorious kindred subjects which are of wide interest and concern the people and the nation at large." Another paragraph of the resolutions read as follows: "That the Corps of Engineers (army) be further authorized by act of congress to make surveys and detailed reports on water conservation, which may be included in any watershed which is under consideration for flood control." These portions of the resolutions adopted are most applicable to conditions in Southern California. The writer was made a member of the permanent projects committee of the national rivers & harbors congress, the value of which contact is yet to be determined. Finance This association received from contributors during the past year $10,529.00, having on hand $101.75 at the beginning of the year. The financial statement shows the disbursement of these funds, leaving on hand $123.06 at the close of the present fiscal year. Detailed information is available from the financial statement of the secretary. Respectfully submitted. FRANCIS CUTTLE, President. Council Votes $150 To Send Drum Corps Anaheim's city council Tuesday evening voted $150 to help defray expenses of sending the American Legion's drum and bugle corps to San Francisco where it will participate in the competition at the convention of the department of California, American Legion. Registrations May Fire Precautions Urged As Dangers Increasing Daily Farmers Urged To Plow Breaks Around Fields, Clean Up Building Hazards Precautions for keeping rural areas as free as possible from damage by fire were suggested by W. M. Cory, assistant farm advisor, accompanied by the statement that the outlook is for a long and hazardous fire season throughout the rural sections of the state. It is pointed out that fields, ranges, and forests will be exceedingly dry, particularly during periods of low humidity, and great damage to farm property can occur with little warning. Serious fires in grain fields already have caused much loss to farmers in the San Joaquin and Sacramento privilege of so small a percentage of the establishments to use? The employees of the non-union shops are friendly to the general alms of union labor. They have been paid, all through the depression upon a higher scale than in almost any other type of business in the county. The non-union printers of the county represent a large investment and pay a considerable amount in taxes. Is it fair for candidates to demand—exclusively, union printing in this county, thereby patronizing perhaps 5% of the printers while at the same time discriminating against some 95%. COMEDY One of the amusing phases of this campaign on a state-wide basis is the similarity of the names of candidates for the same office. We have Justus S. Wardell and James E. Waddell, candidates for governor on the democratic ticket. Senator Hirum W. Johnson, republican, and Carl Alexander Johnson, democrat, are candidates for the senate. State Treasurer Charles G. Johnson and John Franklin Johnson are republican candidates for state treasurer. Controller Ray Riley and C. Clifton Reilly will seek the controller's post. C. C. Young, republican, and Milton K. Young, democrat, will strive for nomination on their respective tickets for the governorship. In this county Sheriff Logan Jackson and Sheriff C. E. Jackson are candidates Disease Threatens State Lumber Tree Threat of a disease of ponderosa pine, California's most important lumber tree, apparently epidemic in character in the southwest, has caused the forest service to send out scouting crews to determine definitely if the disease has entered the state. The disease is known as the twig blight and its origin and effects are still being studied by scientists. Two crews made up of wood pathologists familiar with the blight will work in the northern and southern halves of the state, covering as rapidly as possible all areas where ponderosa and related pines of the yellow pine group occur, both within and outside the national forest and another in the Angeles national forest. Ponderosa pine, whose legitimate name has been a subject of extended controversy, provides over 50 per cent of the average annual lumber cut and forms about 25 per cent of the timber stand of California. Formerly it was called western yellow pine by the forest Council Votes $150 To Send Drum Corps Anaheim's city council Tuesday evening voted $150 to help defray expenses of sending the American Legion's drum and bugle corps to San Francisco where it will participate in the competition at the convention of the department of California, American Legion. Registrations May Exceed 61,000 Mark Indications that Orange county's registrations for August primaries would exceed 61,000 were seen just before the registration deadline Thursday evening. WAKE UP YOUR LIVER BILE—WITHOUT CALOMEL And You'll Jump Out of Bed in the Morning Rarin' to Go If you feel sour and sunk and the world looks punk, don't swallow a lot of salts, mineral water, oil, laxative candy or chewing gum and expect them to make you suddenly sweet and buoyant and full of sunshine. For they can't do it. They only move the bowels and a mere movement doesn't get at the cause. The reason for your down-and-out feeling is your liver. It should pour out two pounds of liquid bile into your bowels daily. If this bile is not flowing freely, your food doesn't digest. It just decays in the bowels. Gas bloats up your stomach. You have a thick, bad taste and your breath is foul, skin often breaks out in blemishes. Your headaches and you feel down and out. Your whole system is poisoned. It takes those good, old CARTER'S LITTLE LIVER PILLS to get these two pounds of bile flowing freely and make you feel "up and up." They contain wonderful, harmless, gentle vegetable extracts, amazing when it comes to making the bile flow freely. But don't ask for liver pills. Ask for Carter's Little Liver Pills. Look for the name Carter's Little Liver Pills on the red label. Resent a substitute.25cat drug stores. ©1931 G.M.Co. It is pointed out that fields, ranges, and forests will be exceedingly dry, particularly during periods of low humidity, and great damage to farm property can occur with little warning. Serious fires in grain fields already have caused much loss to farmers in the San Joaquin and Sacramento valleys. Suggested fire protection rules to be followed are: Clean up fire hazards near the buildings and plow firebreaks around grain fields. Equip harvest machinery with effective spark arresters on exhausts, and have two approved fire extinguishers on hand. Store gasoline and oil away from buildings and handle these products carefully with particular attention to danger of ignition from static sparks. Do not burn brush or rubbish in windy weather; get a fire permit where required to do so. Keep knapsack pump-tank, fire extinguisher or wet sacks where they can be gotten instantly when needed. If water under pressure is available, keep hose and nozzle ready to use. When in foothill or forest areas use precautions with matches, tobacco, and camp fires; never throw matches or burning tobacco out of an automobile. Cooperate with neighbors in drawing up effective plans for fire fighting. Assist local fire chiefs and state and federal forest rangers in reducing all fire hazards. The warning is issued that these rules are of greater significance this year than last because of protracted drought and the additional fact that emergency fire fighting forces have been much contracted, due to the moving of many CCC camps to other states.

Gold Rush Days of '49 Will Live Again In Exhibit Replicas of Famed Mines To Show Implements Seeing Service Shown Romance and excitement of California's early gold rush days are being revived for another flourish. Rich tales will live again and old time prospectors will tell them, when the mining and machinery show is given Los Angeles' Shrine auditorium for six days starting July 30. The event will be on the program of "market week," conducted by the Los Angeles chamber of commerce. To lend contrast to displays of modern mining machinery, replicas of famed mines will be created, with drills, picks, shovels and dump cars that saw service in the "roaring '30's" in actual operation. Reproductions of these mines will be of a size permitting showgoers to march through in large bodies. With men participating who trod the hills seeking yellow metal 30 or 40 years ago, a "grub stake camp" will be established on a nearby lot, where their burro teams can find forage. Doorways of the auditorium, according to L. C. Woods, managing director, will be done over as entrances to modern mines, with beams and walls of steel. As crowds enter, they will experience the sensation of proceeding through portals that lead to a vein of gold. Thousands of dollars in nuggets and ore are listed for display, the program says, with complete assaying and engineering offices operating.
