LEGAL BATTLE OVER ORANGE WELL WORK The case of the city of Orange versus Fred Dimmock and his bondsmen, R. L. Draper, and C. M. Holdman, involving the boring of a water well at Orange two years ago and the subsequent collapse of the well, has been in progress before Superior Judge Z. B. West. The city is asking $2378 damages, alleging that Dimmock's boring of the well was faulty. The city had advanced him $2064 on the work. The city alleges that under the contract Dimmock was to put the well down 800 feet, the contract price to be $5161. The city reserves the right to stop the drilling at any time that it deemed a sufficient supply of water had been struck. The city stopped drilling at 753 feet, and proceeded under the direction of William Richardson, city engineer, to make a pump test for 24 hours. At the end of this time the pipe collapsed into a cavity at the bottom of the well. The city charges that Dimmock did not use the proper hits, stating that in some cases he used a 12-inch bit for the 16-inch hole, and waited for the video to loosen so that the pipe could be shoved down, forcing the hole open wider. The city also alleges that the pipe was not properly anchored at the clay at the bottom of the well, stating that the earth for about ten feet deeper than the well had been loosened by the drilling. Dimmock, in his cross complaint, which he is seeking to collect the $5161 alleged to be due him, stated that the well was satisfactorily drilled at the city accepted it as such work went along, and that the collapse of the pipe due to the fact that City Enricherson conducted a test for about 24 hours, dur ing which time the well pumped 90 pet. mud and sand. This, according to Dimmock, caused the formation of a large hole at the bottom of the pipe, so large that eventually the pipe could not stand the weight and collapsed into it. S. F. Catey, an expert well driller, was put on the stand, and testified that under such circumstances the test should not have been conducted for more than 10 or 12 hours, as by that time the slush in the pipe had been cleared, and that it must have been evident to Richardson that something was obstructing the free flow of water in the strata. The bondsmen claim that the 1400 bond given by them for Dimmock was faulty because the city of Orange did not attach a copy of the contract to it, according to the terms called for in the bond. CONVICT TELLS OF PAST LIFE IN PLEA After having sprung a last-minute surprise in court by admitting, just prior to being given a sentence of not more than 50 years in the state prison, that he was an escaped convict, Harry Harville, 28, recently found guilty of a statutory offense against a 13-year-old Santa Ana girl, was on his way today to San Quentin. Harville was found guilty by a jury in the court of Superior Judge R. Y. Williams, who pronounced sentence. The surprise sprung by the defendant came when the court asked him if he knew of any reason why judgment should not be pronounced upon him. Harville got up and admitted that he had escaped from the Oklahoma state penitentiary, where he was sent in January, 1920, for a term of three years on a bad cheek charge. He also admitted that Harville was not his true name, although he refused to tell the correct one. He said that he had effected his escape in August, 1920, and formed. Harville asked back to Oklahoma term there; instead San Quentin, but refused.

Harville asked that he be sent back to Oklahoma to complete his term there, instead of being sent to San Quentin, but this request was refused. There is no statute of limitations on a man who has committed a jail-break, and Harville can rearrest at any time that he leaves San Quentin during the next two years, and taken back to Oklahoma to serve out his term there. U.S. army authorities also hold two charges against Harville.

CALIFORNIA METAL OUTPUT LAST YEAR The output of gold, silver, copper, lead and zinc in California in 1920, according to preliminary estimates compiled by Charles G. Yale, of the San Francisco office of the U.S. geological survey, department of the interior, was as follows: Gold, $13,933,600; silver, 1,538,660 fine ounces; copper, 12,334,900 pounds; lead, 5,071,600 pounds; zinc, 1,572,500 pounds. Corresponding figures showing the actual production for the year 1919 were: gold, $16,165,955; silver, 1,107,189 fine ounces; copper, 21,732,507 pounds; lead, 3,568,267 pounds; zinc, 472,990 pounds. The output of mejals in 1920 as compared with that in 1919, therefore shows a decrease of $2,762,355 in gold; an increase of 421,471 fine ounces in silver; a decrease of 8,797,607 lbs. in copper; an increase of 1.503,333 pounds in lead; and an increase of 1,099,029 pounds in zinc.

Open Evenings Until 9 O'clock THE BUSINESS OF LIVING In his autobiography Benjamin Franklin tells how he kept books on himself. He had a ledger, at the top of each page of which he wrote one of the several virtues he regarded as fundamental for right living. One page he devoted to frugality, another to temperance, a third to industry, a fourth to silence, and so on. At the end of each day he examined himself and if he had failed in any of these virtues, he gave himself a black mark on the ledger. In this way he kept himself informed as to the weak spots of his made-up, and devoted himself constantly to improving them. Thus he kept the record in the ledger balanced. To Ben Franklin living was the most important of all businesses. He was more concerned in showing gains and stopping losses in his living business than in his printing business. Franklin's bookkeeping system was practical application of the injunction, "Know thyself." Self-knowledge is the fundamental of the living business. Most of us are too busy with other businesses to look after this most important of all business. It generally runs by itself. That's why there are so many failures in that business. Immigration is the sinestest form of flattery.—Life. If you've got to use a hamper, build a house.—Columbus Citizen. TRAFFIC'S DEATH RATE IS VERY HIGH. The year 1920, in its traffic history, stressed new parishes that ride the streets and highways. For instance, in the largest two cities of the nation—New York and Chicago—there was a total of 1305 deaths from traffic accidents. This record is startling enough. The number of traffic tragedies multiplies from year to year. Conditions become worse, rather than better, taking the country over. There may be betterment of safety conditions, here and there, but on the whole the volume of traffic increases and the number of fatalities increases proportionately. The remedy? Who shall say, empirically, how this great menace shall be removed? When expert minds are baffled, or disagree among themselves, how shall a layman, who has made no special study of the problem, offer a solution? But upon one thing there should be general agreement—there should be cooperation among all elements of the people to work out a practicable, effective process of making public throa-fares as safe as it is humanly possible to make them. Those who drive autos and pilot street cars; pedestrians; officers of the law; courts; the masses of the people—all should lend their efforts to the wourking out of ways and means of bettering traffic conditions.
