50 Years Ago March 6, 1887. The Bear valley reservoir is filled to a height of 42 feet by the winter rains. Last year it was filled to only 34 feet, and only two feet of that amount was drawn off last summer, when a stream of 300 inches was run for a couple of months, lowering the water at the rate of a quarter of an inch each 24 hours. It is estimated that the reservoir will yet fill up five feet more, which is as much as the dam will allow. While in the recorder's office the other day, our attention was called by Capt. Pritchard, Chief Deputy, to the vast volume of transfers for the month of February. The total consideration expressed in the deeds recorded during the 23 working days of last month reached the enormous amount of $1,813,895: This greatly exceeds the record of any previous month in the history of the county, and shows that the impervious county of Los Angeles is still on the upward march. That care in packing and shipping fruit will pay well was clear-proven last month to the satisfaction of at least one Los Angeles county orange grower. Two neighbors in Anaheim picked and packed about one hundred 25 Years Ago Feb. 29, 1912. Lying in a tent pitched under an old pepper tree which stands in the back yard of the home of E. S. House at El Modena, Bill Davis, highway man and two-term convict, by the light of a coal-oil lamp, with the shadow of death playing about his pallid features, made full confession of his misdeeds to Sheriff Charlie Ruddock. With Ruddock at the time were Deputy Sheriff Squires, Stacey and Law of Santa Ana, Marshall Kellenberger and Officer Bud Sackett of this city. Accompanying the officers were Fred Dyeckman, whose saloon Davis robbed in December and Teddy Kuchel, who identified Davis as the man he had seen in town in company with two other men the evening of the robbery. Davis, who is dying of consumption, came to his father's home last Friday night as he said he wished to see him before he died. He was later taken by friends to El Modena where he was given shelter and food. Dr. Medlock of Santa Ana was called to give him medical treatment. After Davis made his confession Ruddock called County Physician Wehrly to examine Davis with a view to ascertaining whether he could be moved to the county hospital. After an examina- That care in packing and shipping fruit will pay well was clearly proven last month to the satisfaction of at least one Los Angeles county orange grower. Two neighbors in Anaheim picked and packed about one hundred boxes or oranges each for shipment to Chicago through the Orange Growers Union. One man cleaned his oranges, wrapped them carefully, threw out the skins and otherwise used good amme in handling. He got $3.25 in box for his fruit, and made a profit that pleased him. The other packed good, bad and indifferent together, omitted cleaning and wrapping, and he received $1.50 a box for his fruit. Making no profit worth speaking of, but convincing him most effectively that he pays to clean oranges and ship them to market attractively. The total rainfall for the storm of the past week was 2.40 inches. Total for the season to date 11.85 inches. The orange pickers of McPherson Bros. will be in Anaheim next week and we are asked to state that they will use every precaution to guard against the introduction of the scale bug by using clean ladders, sacks and boxes. This assurance was given by Mr. D. W. Fish. John C. Lamb Gains After Heart Attack John C. Lamb, veteran county tax collector, is in the St. Joseph's hospital, Santa Ana, convalescing from a heart attack suffered last week end. Hospital officials reported his condition to be considerably improved. Maybe men are superior. You never see a man helplessly waiting for a woman to open a door for him. ARTISTIC After Davis made his confession Ruddock called County Physician Wehrly to examine Davis with a view to ascertain whether he could be moved to the county hospital. After an examination the doctor said he could be moved without danger to his health. Davis is an all-around bad character and desperado, and has a faculty for always being in trouble. He was shot at twice by Marshal Steadman at a Sunday picnic some years ago, while making his escape after being arrested for stabbing a man. A. T. Pendleton, a pioneer orange grower of the Placentia district, was in town this week. He is shipping out large quantities of navels, market for which in the east remains firm. He finds no damage in his neighborhood from the recent cold spell, Placentia having come through the frosty spell unharmed. Henry M. Adams, J. F. Ahlborn, Oscar Renner, W. P. Quarton, B. V. Beebe, M. W. Martenet, Homer G. Ames, Charles Eygabroad, Fritz Yungbluth, F. C. Krause, A. A. Mills, J. W. Duckworth and Chas. W. Pendleton, attended a meeting of the Associated Chamber of Commerce at Orange last evening. The Sewer system of Anaheim is practically completed with the exception of that corner bounded on the south by Center and on the west by Lemon streets. Both Contractor Chamberlain and Inspector Cogburn expect to encounter few sand pits in the territory still left, and are confident the work can be finished without mishaps or delays. One or two small connections are yet to be made to complete the work south of Center street caused by a change in the plans. A Pierotti, prosperous citrus grower of Placentia, was in town during the week. He reports great activity in shipping oranges to market and finds markets firm and prices good.

GIBBS LUMBER Three Retail Yards ANAHEIM FULLERTON PLACENTIA California A Pierotti, prosperous citrus grower of Placentia, was in town during the week. He reports great activity in shipping oranges to market and finds markets firm and prices good. News was received this week of the death, at his home in Ruckerlberg, Austria, Feb. 7, of Carl Pamperl, formerly a resident of this city, in the sixty-eighth year of his age. Mr. Pamperl lived here a number of years and was in active business until 1892 when he departed with his family for his old home in Austria. A. W. Danforth was in town this week from Los Angeles looking after the interests of a sewer-pipe company. Mr. Danforth is furnishing pipe for the sewer system now in course of construction here, and will in the near future be ready to ship in pipe for service connections. George Dutton is at the city hall assisting Clerk Merritt. George has a new collection of funny stories, all of them untrue, says Merritt.

Center Off to Dry Land in California Flood Heavy rains in the Los Angeles area sent flood waters rushing across thousands of acres of farm and city property, causing evacuation of homes and heavy damage. Above is a typical scene as C. F. Edmunds, navy man, and his wife were ferried to dry land by obliging youngsters. This picture was taken on Alamitos street in Long Beach, Calif. Plan to Reduce Erosion Damage Proves Success Contour subsoiling has greatly reduced erosion damage this winter, especially on the deeper soils, on the 25,000 acre Aliso Creek Soil Conservation service demonstration area, C. W. Wilson, Santa Ana, project manager announced. Combined cultural and moisture-saving operations have been markedly successful where they closely followed the contour. Terraces or hillside ditches protected fields against erosion. Some terraces however were undercut by orchards carried some excess runoff but when aided by cover crops no appreciable erosion occurred. Over 12,000 acres in the area are now under cooperative agreements with the soil conservation service. The measure of this cooperative participation is set forth in a formal contract under which the farmer agrees to comply, during a five-year period, with the plans devised by the service for controlling erosion on his farm. Banquet is Planned by Christian Group Plans for a huge convention banquet at 6:30 o'clock Saturday.

Terraces or hillside ditches protected fields against erosion. Some terraces, however, were undercut by run-off flowing through gopher holes.

Pier, surf, bay, and liveait boat fishing conditions are improving as the weeks go by. The "Valencia III" leaves daily from Newport pier at 8:00 o'clock, and is now taking halibut and ass. Barracuda are expected to start hitting within the next week so. Just as fast as the crowds demand, additional boats will be faced in service, it was said. Ordinance Planned to Curb Hog Farms Smelly hog farms, being forced out of Los Angeles county, are about to descend upon Orange county. Apprized of the danger, supervisors promised to act next Tuesday on an emergency ordinance suggested by the county planning commission to restrict hog farms until zoning ordinances may be adopted. Jules Markel, chairman of the planning commission, told the planning board that Dr. H. K. Sutherland, county health officer, is being besieged with requests for permits to operate hog farms, on which garbage, largely from Los Angeles, will be fed. Dr. Sutherland believes, said Markel, that the discretion should lie with the board of supervisors. Frank A. Manuel is Chorus's President Thirty members of the Orange county chorus met for rehearsal and election of officers in the music room of the Anaheim union high school Monday evening.
