New climatic records are being made. The present condition following the spring-like weather in January, which started sap flowing and blossoms in deciduous trees, has made the situation critical.

THIEVES MAKE RICH HAUL FROM TUSTIN GARAGE LAST NIGHT LITTLE MONEY FOR DIRT HIGHWAYS IN ANAHEIM DISTRICT For fiscal year 1922-23 there is $7,681.46 available in the Anaheim school district outside the city for dirt roads. This, the County Engineer & Surveyor's office explained today, is the reason why this section like others must see its improvement of dirt roads considerably restricted. The amount mentioned is at a tax rate of 32 cents or a percentage of the total assessed valuation, $2,400,455.5 of 9.14. The general road, county good roads and bridge funds, while collectively with the other fund they make a respectable total, are for county purposes and may be expended in the school district or not, as the case may be. The general road tax in the school district is eight cents, or 2.29 per cent and brings a fund of $1,920.36; the county good roads fund tax 20 cents or 6.71 per cent, with a fund of $4,800.91, hardly enough for maintenance of county roads; and the bridge fund tax, 13 cents or 3.71 per cent, with a fund of $3,120.59. The total of $17,000 over looks large, but the district itself may get only $7,600 and something from it. ECONOMY BUDGET COVERS WIDE RANGE SACRAMENTO, Feb. 3. — Behrington, which is bound to follow the carrying out of Governor Richardson's economy budget, will upward to $1,000,000 from the So. Calif., payroll of state activities in the next two years, it is predicted by those who have scrutinized the work of board of control. The savings effected cover the wide range of departments and educational institutions, the most potent being what Will C. Wood terms "the wrecking of the department of public instruction," in reply to the governor's charge of extravagance to build a political machine. The San Luis Obispo California polytechnic school had its appropriation cut in half with the recommendation that it be abolished. The Santa Barbara Teachers college was pared to $157,710, a decrease of about $33,000. San Diego college fared little better, getting $216,640 of $289,276 spent last year. Junior college students will be eliminated from normal schools, it is planned. FRUIT SHIPMENTS (Weekly Citrus Review) LOS ANGELES, Feb. 3. — That which was feared has happened, cold rains with deep blankets of snow on the mountains. New elimistic records are being made. The present condition following the spring-like weather in January, which started sap flowing and blossoms in deciduous trees, has made the situation critical. Just at this writing it looks as thought we might have some biting cold nights, but optimism and hope rules generally among the growers because of the abundance of rain in the soil and the fact that the sun has come out with the maximum warmth during the day. Picking operations have been practically stopped for over a week owing to the rain. Shipments that have gone forward have been made up of fruit already in the packing house before the rain interfered. As a result, most packing houses have cleared their floors of housed fruit, and will have no fruit to work on until picking is again resumed. Growers are inclined to go slow in picking, allowing the fruit to thoroughly dry and harden as a safeguard against rot. Shipments of navels the past 7 days from Southern California districts have totalled only 423 cars as against 800 cars the previous 7 days. A further reduction must necessarily follow. The Pacific Coast markets have already responded to the influences of the lessened shipments through a 25 to 50 cent per box raise in the price of navels. A further advance is anticipated with the reduction of the available supply. The eastern markets are gaining strength, particularly on sizes 126s and larger. A liberal response in the way of price advancement is looked for as soon as the cars rolling and on the tracks are dispeaced of. With the coming of the rain the prophecy of a rising market has been general among growers and shippers. The same thought was disseminated among buyers in the eastern markets, with the result that buying against a rising market has already set in. F.o. b. California quotations are on the following basis per box for navel oranges. Sizes 80s, $1.90; 100s,$2.40; 126s,$2.90; $150s,$3.15; smaller,$3.40. Demand strong. Cash California quotations are as follows: Cars loaded 50 boxes 126s and larger, balance small, $2.75 per box.Cars loaded 26 per cent or 126s, discount 50 cents per box on sizes 100s and larger and 25c per box on 126s.Cash brokers report better inquiry. California lemons are in good demand in all markets. The price range is somewhat lower, but is holding up well for this season of the year. Considerable sickness is reported throughout the county east of Chicago. This is responsible in a large measure for the continued heavy demand for lemons. F.o. b. California quotations art on a basis of $5.50 per box for 360s. Reinforcements of British marines and infantry departed also for the British fortress at Chanak, at the narrows of the Dardanelles.
