explain the falling off in immigration,
aside from the war, which is the chief
factor as being due to the curtailing

ment will run a splendid boulevard
over the dam which will open the
eyes of the motoring world. It was
pointed out that a road fright on top
of the levee could be built at half the
cost of one along the side of it, and
that it would save the county money.
Los Angeles County, through it's
road department, is the only county
in the United States which figures
interest on the original cost of high
ways and uses this sum for mainte-
nance, thus saving money on the orig
inal cost and applying it to the upkeep
of the road. This will have an i'm
pOrtant bearing on the work scheduled
for the coming year.
At the beginning of the new year
there is just $275,OOO in the general
fund for roads. At the conclusion of
1915 Los Angeles county will have
built 14O miles of highway. From the
state $180,000 is expected. During the
year which is just beginning the Board
of Engineers Flood Control will work
with the Road Commissioner
San Bernardino County is to spend
$1,75O,0OO for new highways, and act

the Improvement with natural soil of
approximately 200 miles of desert road

Orange County will spend $480,0O0
during 1915 for good roads-all that

will build forty miles of concrete
boulevard and five miles of asphaltic

Riverside County is at work, spend

Motorists have learned what be-

200 SAVED IN WRECK OF
BATTLESHIP FORMIDABLE

LONDON, Jan. 4-The British ad-
miralty issued a supplementary list
of survivors of the battleship Formid-
able, which was sunk by submarine
off the Devonshire coast, bringing the
number of those saved up to 200 out
of a crew of about 500.
Further details of the disaster come
from survivors who have been landed
at Brixham. They say the shock of
the explosion was fearful. CThe water
tight compartments were closed in
stantly. AS the seas poured into the
engine rooms the fires we're drawn
in the furnaces. Perfect discipline
reigned on board.
Many of the men saved jumped into
the water wearing inflated rubber col
lars. All the time the Formidable was
sinking its wireless operators were
sending out messages to nearby YES
sells. Captain Loxley and his eXecu-
tive officers remained on the bridge
until the battleship went down.
The last view the men in the cutter
had of their commander showed him
standing at attention, awaiting death
and making no effort, apparently, to
save himself.

NEW RIVERSIDE EXPERIMENT
STATION TO COST $l25,OOO
CONSTRUCTION OF BUILDINGS
WILL BEGIN IMMEDIATELY.
Present Station at Base of Rubidoux
Mountain May Be Retained by
State-477 Acres in Tract
for Permanent Station.

RIVERSIDE, Jan. 5.-Work on the
new building of the permanent expert
ment station will be started early this
year, according to DR.. H. J. Webber,
the director.
There is available for the buildings
$125,OOO, while 100000 was appropri-
ated for the site.
The site embraces ATT acres of land
about two and half miles east of and
slopes to the south and west from Box
Springs mountains. 1t adjoins the
Monte Vista tract on the east.
Of this acreage 236 acres have a
deep and uniform soil, 62 acres are
typical high-grade foothill orchard
land, and the balance is rolling foot
hill land that will lend itself admir-
ably to landscape gardening. Two
pumping plants are included with the
land and 120 inches of water has been
developed.
The city of Riverside has agreed to
furnish electric power for pumping at
So per horsepower The Santa Fe San
Jacinto line passes through the prop
erty and an auto bus line runs to the
site on the State Highway
The property is to be furnished the
State for $4,000, although the actual
cost will be $1S,40O more than this
sum, this representing the bonus
raised by Riverside citizens The
approximate value of the property is
$137,025, the university apparently9et-
ting it for about 40 cents on the dol

1t is believed in Riverside that the
land of the present experiment sta
ton, located at the base of Rubidoux

1860 BRITISH OFFICERS

LONDON, Jan. 4.-During the past
week, ninety-two British officers we're
killed in France, 153 we're wounded,
and twenty we're reported missing. The
losses we're rather evenly scattered
throughout virtually all the organiza-
tions at the front. No one regiment
had more than three officers killed.
The Indian contingent evidently has
been active, for the losses here were
heavy. Twenty-nine British officers
attached to the Indian forces were
killed. forty-nine wounded, and ten
were reported missing. The total cas-
ualties of officers since the war began
follow:

GUN PLACEMENTS
BEGUN AT HARBOR

LOS ANGELES, Jan. 5.-Amid a
hiss of steam from a big derrick and
the roar of motors from four powerful
trucks, wOrkmen Saturday began act
ual work on the placements for the
huge battery of guns to compose Fort
Macarthur, Los Angeles coast defense
on Point Fermin.
Following the announcement that
the work on the batteries was to be
rushed, the government last week
purchased the derrick and four six
ton trucks capable of hauling huge
loads of iron, steel and cement to the
high 141-acre reservation on the
point.
Neat officers quarters for those who
are to take charge of the work have
already been constructed and a big
concrete bin for mixing the material
for the placements is now nearly COM
pleted.
About 100000 will be spent by the
United States government on the bat
teries and placements while the entire
fort will cost about 100000, it has
been estimated.

DISCOVERY Will ADD new
INDUSTRY TO CALIFORNIA
UNIVERSITY ANNOUNCES FIRST
ORANGE JELLY RECEIPT.
CuIIs Can Be Transformed Into "FiI-
tered NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS. to
MarmaIade Because All
Bitterness Is Gone.

BERKELEY, Jan. 5.-After working
in his laboratory for months, Prof. w
T. Cruess, associate professor of gym
ology in the University of California
has announced that he has discovered
for the first time a recipe for orange
jelly. The announcement opens for
California a new industry, inasmuch
as Gull oranges may be used and the
product turned out will be as perfect
a delicacy as can be imagined. The
new orange jelly made by Professor
Cruess is clear amber in color and
looks like filtered sunshine" 1t is
superior to orange marmalade because
all bitterness is gone.
The following outline by Professor
Cruess indicates the method which
housewives may follow in making or
ange jelly:
Slice or crush one dozen oranges
and two to three lemons. For med
ium size and small oranges use two
lemons; for large oranges use three
lemons. Use rinds as we'll as centers.
Add barely enough water to cover.
Heat to boiling and boil very slowly
for forty to sixty minutes.
Press out hot juice through heavy
cloth.
Allow juice to stand twenty-four
hours to SETTLE Drain or pour off the
clean juice; strain the sediment
through a flannel jelly bag. The clear
juice and the strained juice may be
made into jelly separately.
To each pint of clear or strained
juice add 1 or II pints of sugar.
Heat to boiling; boil 8 minutes !;
skim and pour~into glasses.
The amount Of sugar used for or
ange jelly should be such as to give
a jelly of 60 per cent ON the Balling
sugar tester Or 32.5 on the Baume
scale. The use Of these sugar scales
or spindles is to be recommended as
the jelly can then be made in the same
way each time. Any drug store can
get them for you. Roughly the amount
of sugar is the same as for other fruit
juices that are rmade into jelly.
Bitterness may develop in jelly
made during the beginning of the or
ange season, but from mid-season on
this trouble should disappear.
Do not use too much water on the
sliced or crushed fruit. The smaller
the amount of water used the stiffer
the jelly will be. :
If trouble in getting the juice to
jell is still encountered, use more lem
ons. The acidity of the lemon aids
greatly in getting good jelly.
The above method has given good
results in the laboratory, but is not
yet in as perfect form as could be
wished. More work on the details of
the process are being done; hence the
method is not recommended for gen
eral adoption on manufacturing
scale, but only for home use.
A colored jelly may be made by US
ing loganberry or blackberry juice to
mix with the oranges.

WASHINGTON, Jan. 5.-That re-

the building of good roads throughout
the United States during the past few

have been constructed during 1913 and
1914, and that during the ten-year pc
riod from 1904 to 1914, more than
$4,000 miles have been completed.
Only six States now, out of a total
of 4S, are without State highway de-
