Ames scouted the legality of such an arrangement. He said there was legislative approval for a joint outfall sewer but that he had never observed such an o. k. upon cooperative water systems. He will look into the matter further. A resolution was passed calling for bids on $80,000 joint outfall sewer bonds to be sold June 8.

It was decided to let the matter of such an extension wait awhile. The city manager was instructed to post notices on all lots where sidewalks are to be put in, notifying them that the city will give them 60 days to make the improvements by private contract. The city manager was instructed to take steps to construct the comfort station as planned by separate contracts for the different phases of the job. VETERAN WRITER DIES SEATTLE, May 26.—Major H. W.

DAUB PAINT OVER S. A. HIGH SCHOOL Who painted "1923" all over the commercial and administration buildings of the Union High school at Santa Ana? Principal D. K. Hammond would like very much to know, but certain members of the junior class object. The numerals extend all the way to the top of the flag pole, which was well-greased to prevent easy erasure. A probe is on, the entire student body is in a flutter of excitement, and nobody except the perpetrators and their confidantes know who did it. The juniors took this means of decorating the campus appropriately in preparation for the annual color rush, which has now been called off, pending a solution of the mystery or who did the painting. This is the event of the year for the two classes. Colors are placed on a canvass, and the class which finally has the greatest number of hands on the canvass wins. Principal Hammond predicts that the guilty persons will be found out before nightfall. The next step, after confessions of their wickedness, have been wrung from them will be to make them go to work and remove said paint. It is grease paint, and no harm will be done. The exploit is one of the most thoroughgoing recorded in campus annals at Santa Ana hi in some years. LOS ALIMATOS HAS SHELL DERRICK CYPRESS, May 26.—(Spl.)—The Shell Oil Co. is erecting a derrick at Los Alamitos.

The Lessors Oil Co. is dormant. Like Dickens' Micawber, they are waiting for something to turn up. Nearly every land owner throughout this section has been approached with lesses, from the large companies. The "scalpers" or "lease hounds" are numerous, but are meeting with little success. The people are getting wise to the methods of the "reaper" and are holding their lands for bonified companies.

Wednesday night saw an attendance double that of Tuesday, Thursday saw a further increase, and tonight is expected to be the biggest night of the show so far. An error of the judges of award caused much surprise to many at the show. It was in connection with the mammoth rack and feature display of Mutual Orange Distributors of Redlands, who were duly entered in class No. 4, for the most artistic rack display of 40 boxes or more of Valencia oranges. In some unexplained manner the judges finished their duties and departed for their respective homes in remote parts of California, without reviewing the entry of the M. O. D. in this class. The executive committee had a hurried consultation, in view of the fact that a review of the judges would have given this beautiful exhibit high honors, if not the highest, and immediately awarded it a cup as handsome as any of the others presented in connection with the exposition, together with an award certificate. A sign was posted on the exhibit, specifying the particulars in connection with this error, which is the only unhappy adventure in connection with the very fine work of the award committee and judges. A delegation of 200 Long Beach merchants and business men, representing the Chamber of Commerce, and accompanied by the Municipal Band played a large part in today's program of the show. Coming by motor buses and by special Pacific Electric cars, the Long Beach representatives, headed by George Tylor, director of the city band, and Ray O. Baldwin, secretary of the Merchants' Association, marched fro mthe Elks' club to the tents. All members of the delegation, which included representatives from practically every sales division in the association, expressed themselves as delighted with the beauty of the exhibits and the efficiency of the management. "The most beautiful and the most perfectly conducted exhibition I ever attended," is the manner in which Squire Du Ree, director of recreation and superintendent of parks and playgrounds for Long Beach, described the show. Special representatives from both the Long Beach Telegram and the Long Beach Press accompanied the visiting delegation, and wired of the days activities were broadcast from the radio broadcasting station of Long Beach publications. The courtesy of the management and the unusual hospitable manner in which the delegation with their band was treated was very gratifying to Long Beach visitors, who at an informal luncheon given in the Valencia Orange Show.

Several phonographs were kept going most of the time, but one could scarcely hear the music for a hundred different reasons. Dr. Robison was all smiles and perspiration, as were Drs. Long and Raiche, his assistants. Dr. Robinson said that it was the best bunch of babies he has ever seen, and that Orange-co has every reason to be proud of the product. "Babies first, oranges and oil, second," was his comment. The examinations this morning exceeded the total number brought in during the whole week.
