Three Counties Will Each Appropriate $5000 For Conservation
Orange, Riverside and San Bernardino counties will appropriate $5,000 each for a tri-county water spreading fund next season, in the opinion of Col. S. H. Finley of Santa Ana, who said today that a fund of $15,000 would be sought. The only county of the three which has been rather disinclined to make appropriation is San Bernardino, which in the past has argued that the waters were within its own jurisdiction anyhow.
Last year, when this work was started, only $2,000 each was appropriated, but at least one prominent rancher of the Anaheim district declared privately, it can be announced now, that a larger sum will be asked.
Much good was accomplished, said Finley, but not as much water was spread as would have been possible if the work had been started earlier.
The work of the three counties in a sense supplemented or was supplemented by that of the Water Conservation Association, made up of water and irrigation companies in the three counties, including the Anaheim Union Water Co.

GERMANY VISIONS BEGINNING OF END
BY FRITZ EBERT, JR.
Written for International News Service.
BERLIN, April 25.—What only a week ago seemed far distant is today immediately at hand: The beginning of the end of the Ruhr adventure.
The statesmanlike speech of Lord Cuzon, British foreign secretary in the house of lords in London, pointed the way which Europe must go. Chancellor Cuno has declared in a speech that this may alter the present situation considerably.
The German government is ready to make reparations proposals.
Already serious preparations are under way. The offer may be made at any time.
Questions of reparations and of France's security play a predominant role. For German republicans there is no such question as security for France. We have learned too much from the war. Besides we are so thoroughly disarmed that we could not even imagine active resistance in the Ruhr much less an attack against France or any other neighbor state.
