WILL UNVE|L MYSTERY
At SHRINERS' BIC BALL
Much Secrecy Over Events to
Precede Charity Affair
Tomorrow Night

The final details of the program
which the Los Angeles Shriners have
prepared for their charity ball, to be
held tomorrow evening in AL Malaikah
Shrine auditorium for the purpose OF
giving little Christmas cheer to the
worthy poor of Los Angeles, have been
arranged and promise several now
elites.
Just what the program will consist
of, Irving j. Mitchell, impresario of
the affair, will not give out, and other
Shriners who are "in" on the plans
are equally mysterious. They an
nounce, however, that the success of
the program depends absolutely on the
doors being closed at S:15 and, wishing
to make it a success, they will close
them at that time. Warning Is given
to late comers, however, to wait, If
the doors are closed when they arrive,
as they will be reopened when the bali
proper begins.
Harry Girard. the singer, has a
prominent part in the festivities
planned, but, beyond stating that 1t is
q hummer" he won't tell what 1t Is.
The Philharmonic quartet and the
Shriners' prize band also have places
on the program.

part of the Shriners was the statement
of Mr.. Mitchell last evening.
"The program before the ball will be

BRICK YARD QUESTION IS
PASSED UP TO THE COURT

Boyle Heights people who want four
brick yards removed from their sec
tion will have a chance to be heard
before the legislation committee Sat
urday morning. The COMMITTEES had
recommended that the brickyards Pc
tition be filed, but before the council
acted Councilman Andrews made four
of FIVE speeches and finally withdrew
the report and asked that the mat
ter be resubmitted.
Joseph Simons, one of the brick con-
Germs that would be legislated out IL
the Boyle Heights people had their
way, told the council that he favored
an ordinance declaring them nuisance
so the matter could be tested In the
courts, and such is likely to be the
action of the council.
Andrews explained that the court had
not passed on the Victoria park brick
yards case and thought 1t better to
wait for that decision.

TULARE CITRUS FAIR
PROVES GREAT SUCCESS

The following telegram was received
yesterday by the passenger department
of the Santa Fe from Visalia in regard
to the citrus fair which opened there
Monday:
"Tulare county citrus fair opened
here yesterday, attended by a great
throng. The judges have pronounced
the fruit display the finest ever known"

the amendment to permit judges to In
struct juries as to matters of fact as
we'll as to law. The conservatives won
out in this after Judge c. e. McLaugh-
lin had cited the Maybrick and Grip
pen cases as examples of the results
obtained in English procedure, where
in the court instructs the jury with
regard to the facts.
Olney of San Francisco, L. T. Hat
field of Sacramento, H. c. Wyckoff Of
Santa Cruz, F. H. Short of Fresno and
Major A. F. Jones spoke strongly
against the measure, and with the di-
vision of the San Francisco delegation
it was defeated.
Grove L. Johnson made a second ap-
peal to the convention to turn aside
from the tide of so-called progressive
ness which he said was carrying the
body along, in a speech on the amend
ment to compel the defendant to pay

certified that there was probable cause
for the action.

here and listened to the arguments of
the delegates from San Francisco,
where it seems so extremely difficult
to convict a man.
~Is San Francisco SO rotten that 1t
wants to uproot the whole state in its
desire to do something? Don't you
realize you are fouling your own nest?
The people will say oh, pshaw.' If
these amendments are ever placed be-
fore them. Because you can't convict
certain people in your city are you
going to place a black mark against
the profession?"
AMENDMENTS ADOPTED
johnson directed his remarks to the
side OF the hall occupied by the San
Francisco delegation and heated re-
ply was brought forth from Judge
Belcher, who was interrupted In a
pretty series of compliments for the
aged Sacramento member when called
to order by a member of his own del
egation.
Finally it was voted to suspend dis
cussion on this amendment until this
morning. Other amendments adopted
were to give power to the prosecuting
attorney to make such remarks to the
Jury on the refusal Of a defendant to
testify as the legislature may specify;
to permit the state to read the evil
dence of deceased persons taken at
former trials: to eliminate challenges

ADVOCATE MIDSUMMER
APPLE EXHIBIT

noticed in an article in the Oregonian,
some time ago, written by Mr.. Lonsdale,
who is large fruit grower in Southern
Oregon, where he advised the orchard
lists OF Oregon to ascertain the particular
varieties Of fruit which were suited to
their several districts. This was good
advice and | have no doubt that it was
followed by many people in the orchard
business.
The following led me TO the thought
that the best keeping and finest favored
apples will always command the
markets highest price. As yet we have
uot demonstrated which district in Or
egon is the best for the keeping quality
of the apple.
True we have many apple shows in the
apple season, at which all varieties show
to advantage. This is hardly justice,
however, to the intending invester who
is always in evidence at these shows, but
who cannot secure the definite evidence
there as to the keeping qualities of the
apple.
Hence, would suggest Mid-Sum-
mer Apple Exhibit. At such show, the
districts that prodnCe the best keeping
apples would take first place assuch and
thus insure the investor of the fact.
Where this method might detract, in
some measure, from some districts, the
districts Of merit that produce the best
keepers would inherit their own. We
know there are districts that do produce
a pies which retain their flavor and
keeping qualities until past mid-sum-
mer. So why not advance Mid.Sum-
mer Apple Exhibit? 1t would be a
great feature for Oregon as an advertise
ment, particularly as Oregon apples are
today one of the foremost products ofour
State and destined in the future to lead
as such.
1t appears to me that an apple show
held in one or more of the large cities in
midsummer would create a lively inter
est, and | do not see any reason why this
could not be done. We claim that we
have the keeping quality-why not DEM
onstrate it in the season that would
prove it ana awaken the most interest
for our most famous product-the Ore.

Value of Fruit Land.

The Western, a monthly magazine
published at Seattle, has the following
to say of Oregon's fruit land and their
production:
"In Rogue River Valley an average
of twenty farms a net production OF
$97e.7T per acre, And this is done be-
meath italian skies, without any arti-
fetal application of moisture. This
average applies principally to fruit,
including apples, peaches and pears but
the showing for diversified farming in
this wonderfully delightful valley is an
overage of about 20 per cent per acre
upon a value of $500. 1t should be re-
membered that one important element
always governing the price of farming
land is the distance from the city or
shipping center. First-class fruit land
cleared and ready for trees, within few
miles of Medford, which is the metropo-
lis of this famous valley of Oregon, are
selling now at from $3.50 to $500 per acre.
By going farther out, but still upon the
main highway, land well suited to the
apple, pear, peach and apricot, as well
as berries small fruits, can be bought at
from $50 per acre upward. ltalso should
be remembered that the price of land is
governed by the value OF the OF the i'm
proyemeuts npon it, considered aside
from the intrinsic value Of the land, "

FURNISH-COE
DAM IS DONE

The Furnish-Coe dam across the
Umatilla river at Coe station, the
second largest project of its kind in
the state, is completed and will !be
turned over to the Furnish-Coe COM
pany by he contractors with in day
or two. The work of filling the great
reservoir formed by the construction
of the dam will be started upon the
arrival of the flood season. The water
thus stored will be used during the
summer months in irrigating 10000
acres of land contained in the Furnish
Coe project in the west end of the
county and with Stantield as the pro-
ject town.
The dam is 100 feet long, is fifty
feet high. 220 feet wide at its base
and 20 feet wide at the top. A con-
crete core extends from bank to bank
and from its bedrock foundation to
within five feet of the top of the dam.
Though it extends across the Una
tilla river, and will hold the flood
waters of that stream until they form
lake nearly a mile wide and nearly
two miles long, the water will never
be permitted to flow over its top and
the normal flow of the river will never
be shut off, either summer or winter.
/ The spillway which has been con-
structed to carry off the surplus water
is as large as the original channel of
the river and will therefore be
sufficient in size to take care Of the
largest floods the river has ever seen.
The sides of this spillway are concrete
to prevent their cutting away the
bank on either side.
Three hundred acres of land, includ-
ing one of the Oldest and best fruit
and alfalfa farms along the river, will
be flooded by the water in the reser-
voir which will extend up around the
famous Horseshoe curve for distance
widest place the artificial lake will
be three-fourths of mile in width.
This canal, completed four years ago,
supplied water for winter irrigation
only. This was sufficient for the grow.
ing of alfalfa, but it was not sufficient
for the more intensified farming to
which other irrigated sections are
being subjected, so Furnish conceived
the idea of building dam across the
Umatilla river, storing its flood waters
! and using them during the summer
months when the river is low. This
dam is now completed, the water will
soon be stored and the work Of allow
ing it to pass through the gate into
the original channel of the river will
commence next summer. The water
in excess of the normal flow of the
stream will ,be diverted into the Furn-
ish canal, while the rights of other
water users below will not be inter-
! ferred with
