H. W. Keller, first vice president of the Auto Club of So. Calif., made a very telling plea in favor of the construction of the missing link in the Coast State Highway from Ventura-co. to Sierra, on the San Diego line boundary of Orange-co. He stated that the funds under the State bond issues are available for this work but that funds raised in this manner have frequently been diverted to other routes than those specified in the call for the bond issue. It was decided that the Associated Chambers, through a proper committee, shall watch this matter, and must every bit of influence at its command in an endeavor to see that this very necessary missing link in the Coast Highway of California be provided out of the funds now ready for that improvement.
R. P. Davis, member of the Agricultural Committee of the Los Angeles C. of C., who is not interested in any way with the sugar industry, but is an old time practical beet sugar man, presented a very enlightening talk in favor of the use of sugar manufactured in Orange-co., by its inhabitants in preference to cane sugar or other beet sugars, hauled from a far distance.
The speaker recounted that $25,000,000 is invested in the beer sugar industry of So. Calif., that $8,000,000 is annually expended for all items concerned in the operation of this industry; that of these $8,000,000 a very ponderable fraction goes to the beet growers. If the inhabitants of So. Calif. will demand home manufactured sugar, they will consume the full present turnover of the factories in this section. In turn, the beet growers would receive about a dollar a ton more for the beets, which benefit would be felt in every market and vein of the business community of So. Calif. His talk was clear and to the point, and a committee immediately drifted a resolution similar to that adopted recently by Anheim and other So. Calif. C. of C. It is the purpose of the A. C. of C. to give wide publicity to their action in this matter.

GOAT GRAZING IS
FOREST FIRE GUARD
WASHINGTON, Sept. 22.—An experiment in grazing goats over old burned forest areas recently was tried out with success on the Ojal district of the Santa Barbara national forest by the forest service of the United States department of agriculture. When there is a dense growth of brush it is often difficult for fire fighters to reach a forest fire, and it was thought that goat grazing would open up such areas without killing the brush or causing erosion. The narrow trails made by the goats would, with a minimum of labor, check a ground fire.

WORK UPON JETTY
Representatives of the Orange-co. harbor commission yesterday asked the board of supervisors for an appropriation of $10,000 to be used in work upon the jetty at the entrance of Newport bay.
This sum would be in addition to money already in the hands of the commission, which has set aside portions of the money realized from the original bond issue for use on the jetty.
No action was taken by the supervisors upon the request, presented by L. H. Wallace, secretary of the commission.
