ENGINEER ASSERTS DAM IS FEASIBLE Declaring his belief that the damming of the Santa Ana river is entirely feasible from an engineering point of view, Roy Browning, engineer of the Irvine company, today made an off-hand estimate to the effect that it would cost perhaps $10,000,000 to carry out the project. As a result of appeals made by Orange-co representatives Engineer Schively, of the Water Research board, will arrive in Santa Ana next Friday for the purpose of becoming acquainted with the needs of this district. A committee consisting of C. E. Utt, of Tustin; J. J. Dwyer, of Anaheim; and Harry Lewis, of Santa Ana, will accompany Schively on a tour of the river section of the county. Schively will become acquainted with the district in order that he may report to the board such necessary procedure as will be required to conserve present waters and supply additional sources either by construction of dams or reservoirs, or by utilization of flood waters. Some two or three years ago Browning made some measurements at the point he believed it possible to make a dam for the harnessing of the flood waters of the Santa Ana, and since that time he has been pointing to the damming of the river as the solution of Orange-co's flood problem. "I have not gone into the matter in detail," said Browning, "but I have looked over the government contour maps and I am familiar with the physical conditions around Scully's point. There is a great natural reservoir site there." "The fall of the river from River-side to the dam site is eighteen feet to the mile. You can see how far back a 100-foot dam would hold the water. However, the greater portion of the reservoir area would lie toward Chino. The water would be backed up well toward Chino." "The project would prove expensive, though it would be worth a great deal more to the Santa Ana looked over the government contour maps and I am familiar with the physical conditions around Scully's point. There is a great natural reservoir site there. "The fall of the river from River-side to the dam site is eighteen feet to the mile. You can see how far back a 100-foot dam would hold the water. However, the greater portion of the reservoir area would lie toward Chino. The water would be backed up well toward Chino. "The project would prove expensive, though it would be worth a great deal more to the Santa Ana valley than it would cost, not only in the protection of the valley from flood but also in the conservation of water for irrigation. "One of the big items in addition to the cost of the dam and the lands the water would cover would be the disposition of the Santa Fe railroad. The railroad might have to begin as far down the canyon as Yorba to rebuild in order to get its grade above the reservoir. It would cross the river on or below the dam." USE WIRE DOUBLY NEW YORK, Jan. 18—Telephone and telegraph messages were carried simultaneously last night on the same radio wave length from one wireless apparatus and were distinctly heard. The demonstration took place in the Engineering Society's building. Dr. Frank B. Jewett, chief engineer of the Western Electric Co., was the demonstrator. NEW IRISH STAMP DUBLIN, Jan. 18—The new Irish stamp, to be printed by Great Britain, will have upon it a shamrock or harp with the word "Erin" in Gaelic below. The decimal system for the coinage of dollars and cents, it is expected, will be adopted. FORMAL OPENING OF BUICK GARAGE Owing to the fact that Buicks are in such great demand, Manager Wm. Goodrum of the Anaheim Auto Co., experienced difficulty in obtaining a complete showing of models for the exhibit which is featuring the opening of the beautiful new nome of the firm and the Buick in northern Orange co. The doors of the establishment were formally opened to the public yesterday afternoon and many availed themselves of the opportunity to make themselves acquainted with the many conveniences which have been incorporated in the new building for the convenience of Buick owners. The Buick models in display received their share of attention and particularly the enclosed models with their comforts and conveniences. The show will continue during the week, the doors being open until ten o'clock each evening.

B. McCord, cashier of the Anaheim National Bank, said this morning that the bank had used the finger print method of identifying depositors for some years past, but only in the cases of Mexicans or strangers who couldn't sign their names legibly. Greeks are ask to sign in their own language, and their finger prints taken in addition. McCord pointed out that handwriting changes from year to year, and many have a habit of writing certain letters, especially capitals, differently at different times. The government, as already announced in these columns, has taken up this method of identification for postal savings depositors. Obstacle Blocks Harbor Expenditure This morning a legal stone wall separated the Orange-co harbor commission from $25,000 that supervisors has set aside from the county general fund for use on Newport harbor. After a consultation, District Attorney A. P. Nelson and Clyde Bishop city attorney of Newport Beach, appearing for the harbor commission, announced to the board that no conclusion had been reached in the matter and that they would resume conferences next Tuesday. The question of the expenditure of $35,000 was brought up before the supervisors when it was proposed that the amount be turned into a fund to be drawn against just as the harbor funds secured through the original $500,000 harbor bond issue have been drawn against. That is, the money would be made available for expenditure by the commission. It appeared that under the law creating the harbor commission, the commission is to go out of existence as soon as its work is completed. Cursory reading of the law indicated that it could not be continued in existence to spend additional money even should the supervisors desire to continue it in existence. MANY INQUIRIE ABOUT ANAHEIM DISTRICT Many inquiries concerning Anaheim district are coming in every mail to the C. of C., as the result of the full-page advertisement in the Los Angeles Times annual, thousands of which are in the malls eastward-bound, daily. Iowa, Kansas, Nebraska, South Dakota, Colorado, Arkansas, Missouri, Pennsylvania and Illinois, are in the vanguard of this shoal of requests for illustrated data, but there are a number from Los Angeles and other California centers. Other states, from which anxious people are looking Anaheim-ward, include Oklahoma, Idaho, Alabama, New York, and New Jersey. In most cases, the coupon printed at the bottom of the advertisement, is used but some of the inquirers are more ambitious, and send written communications, making specific demands for information. The thought strangely adheres in the minds of some that this is a chickens-raising neighborhood, and some parties query as to the lowest yearly rental for two acres for that purpose. It is believed by the board that this advertisement, if it only carries the message of Anaheim's prosperity to the million who are now reading it, is serving an admirable purpose for the future of Anaheim district, at a cost of slightly over one mill per reader. One of the inquirers from Little Rock, Ark., enclosed a four of diamonds from a badly used "deck," with his name on the coupon pasted to the back.

Crescent CHOCO The delightful new confection FATTY'S DEFENSE TO AID STATE SAN FRANCISCO, Jan. 18. — Taking a page from the book of the defense in the first trial, the state has reversed its procedure in the second trial of Roscoe, "Fatty" Arbuckle and is fighting to convict him of manslaughter on testimony which almost won the rotund comedian acquittal in the first trial. Swinging directly into medical testimony as soon as the death of Virginia Rappe had been established in evidence, the state sought to show thru a medical report reutrned late in the first trial by a commission of experts and halled at the time as a crowning victory for the defense; that a medical condition existing in the rgan examined by the experts from the body of Miss Rappe in no way contributed to the ruptre of that organ. The state contends that the force which caused the rupture and subsequent death of the motion picture actress was applied by Arbuckle and that this force was applied in the course of a felonious assault. The defense contends that the organ in question was diseased and that the rupture fight have been due to a fit of coughing, sheezing, vomiting or an ice water bath to which the young woman was subjected by her friends in the course of first aid treatment when she became ill.
