URGE SURVEY OF WATER RESOURCES (Continued from Page One) ing the highways for the construction and upkeep of which they had contributed little or nothing. There was a long discussion re­garding the reasons for the delay in obtaining rights of way and push­ing construction of the section of the new coast highway passing thru the county. Chairman Talbert of the board of supervisors said there still was trouble about the righ of way between Long Beach and Huntington Beach. J. A. Armitage of Sunset Beach, who has done most of the work of obtaining rights of way, said that "if anybody had anything on his chest, now was the time to shoot it." Armitage told of the difficulties he had experienced in getting the deeds, some of which were not properly drawn. Armitage was applauded when he finished. President Jahraus said he didn't know why half of the county should be held up because of a difficulty over deeds in the other half. Jahraus complimented Armitage on his work. Armitage said that if he were given the dedes, he would get the rights of way. D. Eyman Huff of El Modena, asked Talbert, whose duty it was to prepare the deeds, and Talbert said the state highway commission. Lew H. Wallace of Newport Beach said he didn't know why an inju­cation affecting the section of road between Long Beach and Huntington Beach should hold up construction of other parts of the road. Orange-co must get busy if it expected to obtain its due share of the $4,000,000 state highway fund, he declared. Wallace, for the harbor committee, said the work of dredging Newport harbor was rapidly nearing completion. He declared an east jetty might be necessary to maintain the desired 300-foot channel out of the harbor. J. A. Beek of Balboa, reporting on the merchant marine, asked that the Associated Chambers favor the date. Aug. 5, 1922, selected for the annual tournament o flights, which he said bid fair to rival Pasadena's tour­nament of roses. He said a promoter of a possible freight line between San SPARKES AND MABEE AGREE TO WRESTLE Al: Sparkes will wrestle Roy Mabee The big affair is to be staged by the Anahelm Athletic Club in the new arena. The two big local huskies have at last been signed up for a finish catch as catch can contest, best two out of three falls. The exact date has not been decided. Athletic Manager Billy Darnley has been unable to set a definite date due, principally, to the condition the recent wind storm left the arena in. It is hoped tho, that within the next day or two an announcement can be made. Thursday, Dec. 15th, or Tuesday, Dec. 20th, will probably be the dates selected. A new and permanent roof will be considerably stronger and will keep the place a lot warmer. It is expected to be finished by the middle of next week. In the meantime, both men are down to the hard grind of training. Mabee is working out every evening at 7 o'clock, while Sparkes does his stunts at 5 p.m. Both boys have several good men working out with them All comers are welcome, as Al and Roy figure they want all the work they can get. Bob Jensen, the ignition and carborettor expert of local fame, who in his day was a classy wrestler, in fact, was an ideal athlete, is one of Mabee's training partners. He gives Roy the stiffest kind of a workout, being a husky bird himself. Bob thinks, judging by the way Mabee is working out and the shape he already appears to be in, it looks bad for the Garden Grove farmer boy. On the other hand, Sparkes' friends predict that Mabee has not a chance in the world for his so-called comeback. They figure Al. is too strong and clever, and besides, has youth and stamina to back him. While it is true that Al. has it on Roy for age by several years, still the Buena Park rancher has always taken the best care of himself while DISCUSS AND CITRUS Subjects of vi­ orange growers o­ and of Orange co­ the basis of a va­ ered for the third County Citrus In­ the Santa Ana hi­ h and Friday of this.

He said a promoter of a possible freight line between San Pedro and Newport Harbor had told the city's publicity man that the line would be feasible if 30 tons of freight for each trip were guaranteed. Rock urged the members to turn freight that way if they could. Malcom Fraser, secretary of the Anaheim C. of C., said the next Valencia orange show would be more representative than the previous and first one. A fund of $15,000 was being raised, and the board of supervisors were giving generous aid. Exhibits from all the Valencia districts were expected. Fraser soon will lead an excursion to the northern California citrus belt, and welcome all who care to go. Harry D. Riley of Anaheim for the ways and means committee called off the list of chambers in an effort to collect the amounts due, on the basis of 30c per individual members, to cover the investigation of the county engineer's office. Few of the chambers have paid up. The Associated Chamber voted to become associated wit hthe League of the Southwest, and will send a delegate, Lew H. Wallace, to attend. President Coburn of the Orange chamber said the latter would send two delegates. The importance of the conference was urged by several speakers. The Associated Chambers voted endorsement of Thrift Week, Jan. 17-23, plans for which are being brought by the Y. M. C. A. and other bodies co-operating.

Various classes of business are particularly concerned with some one of these days. It was stated, in answer to a complaint, that defective signs on the county highway were being repainted, or replaced by new ones. D. Eyman Huff called attention to the Horticultural meeting in Santa Ana today and tomorrow. Many growers of various chambers of commerce of the county will latten. A vote of thanks was extended to the Orange chamber as hosts of the meeting. The next meeting-place of the Associated Chambers will be Yorba Linda.

Center St., Fisher Building, Anaheim DISCUSS ALL ABOUT CITRUS INDUSTRY Subjects of vital interest to the orange growers of So. Calif., generally and of Orange-co, particularly, form the basis of a valuable program offered for the third Annual Orange County Citrus Institute to be held in the Santa Ana high school Thursday and Friday of this week. Careful selection of the subjects offered was made in order that those attending for the two days session could secure the greatest value in the shortest possible time. County farm advisor, H. E. Wahlberg, considers the program one of inestimable value to growers. "Every grower should figure that it is as important as the daily routine on the ranch to keep in touch with all new developments in fruit production and packing." Almost every phase of the citrus industry is covered in the list of subjects offered. Every subject is handled by an expert, who has established a record in his line. Following a mixture of subjects for the Thursday session including irrigation questions and the frost gamble as well as the technic of frost prediction, the Friday meetings will be divided into periods on which four distinct and important subjects will be treated. Although it is generally hoped and expected that growers will be able to attend all sessions, it will be possible to come in for a few hours during the time in which some subject of special interest is under discussion. Heading the list of subjects for Friday morning is a discussion of fertilizer problems by Dr. W. P. Kelly, chemist at the Citrus Experiment station at Riverside. This is scheduled for 9:30. Orchard decline, covering fertilizer and other questions in regard to backward groves, will follow the talk by Dr. Kelly. The questions on orchard decline will be handled by R. W.
