WAR TURNS IMMIGRATION
FLOW BACK TO EUROPE

WASHINGTON, Mar. 23.-For the
first time in the history of the United
States the flow of immigration has
been turned back toward Europe by
the war and more aliens are leaving
the United States than are coming
here to make their homes.
Statistics made public by Immigra-
tion Commissioner Anthony Caminetti
show that the change came in Decem-
ber last, when the number of emf
grant aliens leaving this country was
greater by 2240 than the total of i'm
migrants entering. In January, 1757
more departed than entered. The de-
partures for the six months from Au-
gust, 1914, to January last totaled
18,545 more than the arrivals.
The heaviest emigration was shown
among aliens from Southern Italy, pre-
sumably due to the calling of Italian
reservists to the colors.

Robins Gift to EnqIand.

In the Burlington Magazine an arti-
Gle on Robins gift to the British ma
tion of collection Of his works is ac-
claimed from an angle of appreciation.
The writer decides that although Ro-
din's fame was made in France it was
established in England and that in
reality Rodin is British institution.
There is something to be said in more
senses than one for the contention.
Specifically, there is less sharpness
of contrast between the best British
sculpture and that of Rodin than ex-
lists between his work and all other
French sculpture of technical excel
lence. His blurred contours are seen
to better effect in the environment Of
London than in the vivacfous light of
the Luxembourg. But of course the
main point is that the generous old
sculptor achieved a maximum of tact
in making himself the symbol of the
new mutual understanding between
the two great nations

1915 FRUIT CROP THE
GREATEST, is PREDICTION

LOS ANGELES, Mar. %. - Antici-
pating the greatest deciduous fruit
crops in the history of California, the
Santa Fe road placed an order for 500
refrigerator cars which will cost ap-
proximately $75O,0O0 The order was
placed from the main offices in Chi
cago.
All of the western railroads are
making many preparations to handle
an enormous quantity of fruit from
California this year.
The latter part of this month or the
first of April the movement of the
deciduous fruits from this state to the
markets of the world will begin.
Early reports are to the effect that
the peach and apricot output this
year will break all records. The grape
output will be about the same as last
year.
The movement of this seasons cit
rus fruits now under way points to a
record-breaking mark. Lemon ship
ments for 1915 up to the present time
have already passed the shipments of
the corresponding time last year.

FLOOD CONTROL BILL Will
GET QUICK ACTION IN SENATE
MEASURE AUTHORIZING Los ANGELES COUNTY TO ISSUE BONDS
IN sum OF SlO,0OO,OO0 BEING WHIPPED into SHAPE
Measure Will Constitute Entire County Storm Water and Conservation
Dstr-SupervSors Will Have Power Appoint Commission to
Have Actual Supervision of Construction Work and Maintenance

The new public utility act, carrying
into effect the provisions of the con
stitutiOnal amendment adopted at the
November election, passed in the sen
ate.
Utilities Bill Passes
A second bill No. 600 allows cities
sion certain other regulating powers
over public utilities not carried by the
amendment.
A bill to except alien teachers from
the provisions of the law against the
payment of public funds to any foreign
ers was introduced in the upper house
by Senator Jones.
The bill is designed to meet the opin-
ion of Attorney General U. S. Webb,
voiced month ago, to the effect that
it was illegal for any foreigner to be in
public employ or to receive public
money.
School Bin Goes Through
In the assembly, the chief interest
centered in the fight over Assembly
man Grants bill relating to compul-
sorry attendance of children in the
schools.
The bill provides a new age limit for
attending school-seven to sixteen in
stead of eight to fifteen years. If a
child graduates from the eighth grade
before reaching the age of sixteen
years, he may be relieved from the
measure compelling him to attend
school,
An important provision is made, Civ
ing the judge of the juvenile court
power to compel a child to attend
school until eighteen years of age if it
is deemed necessary.
Another section requires the private
schools to teach grades equal to those
of the state schools.
Frivolous suits at law and civil
cases\ not founded upon reasonable
cause will cease under a bill which
passed the senate, if it goes through
the assembly and is approved by Gov
ernor Johnson. 1t declares that the
party instituting or defending a suit on
empty or unreasonable grounds shall
pay the costs for the other side.
The return of California shrimps to
the public markets through the pass
age of bill by Senator Beban of San
Francisco appears likely. It permits
the use of the Chinese bag net in the
lower end of San Francisco bay. Four
years ago the bag net was legally
banned, and the California shrimp in
dustry practically ended.

SACRAMENTO, Mar. 22.-Plans for
flood control in Los Angeles county
were whipped into shape, and the new
bill will be presented to the legislature
by Senator Benedict as a substitute for
his former bill on the same subject.
The project involved is one of the
largest ever undertaken by any coun-
try, preliminary estimates placing the
cost at upward Of $10,000,000.
AS originally presented, the flood
control plans called for the cost to be
assessed to the areas directly bene-
flied. 1t has been found, however, that
this would amount practically to con-
fiscation in many instances. The pres
ent plans, which are the result of the
conferences of the various boards of
trade and civic organizations, contem-
plate financing the project by the issu-
ance of long-term bonds.
Bill Embraces County
The Benedict bill, as amended, will
constitute the entire county of Los An
geles storm water and conservation
district. An effort will be made to OBJ
tain federal and state aid, but the por
tion of the cost of the work not borne
by the state Or nation will be paid by
a forty-year bond issue, which will be
borne by all the property in the
county.
Under the terms of the bill, the SUI
pervisors have the power to create the
flood control district and to appoint
commission of three persons to have
actual supervision of the work of con-
struction and maintenance relative to
said district. The salary of the COM
missioners will be fixed by the super
visOrs.
When it comes to the issuance of
bonds, the people will have a chance
to vote upon the project. Only ma
jority of the votes of the county is
necessary to approve the bond issue.
The bonds will run for forty years, pay
able one-fortieth each year, together
with interest semi-annually, the rate
of interest not to be greater than per
cent.
Water Rights Clause
One section of the bill that has pro-
voked difference of opinion is the
provision that nothing in the act shall
interfere with vested water rights. 1t
is contended that this feature will rem
der it possible for certain property
owners to delay proceedings indefinite
ly. The majority of those who drew
up the bill determined, however, to
allow the clause to remain.

PoRTLAND's ROSE FESTIVAL
TO BE HELD JUNE g, 10 AND II

PORTLAND, Ore, Mar. 23.-Port-
land, long famed as the Rose City,"
has this year added more than 100
miles of rose bushes in parking strips
of the residence districts. This cam
paign of city Identification is the di-
rect result of California's two great
expositions-San Francisco and San
Diego.
Portland, through the Rose Festival
association, inaugurated a plan for city
Identification last December, with the
result that more than 5000 additional
blocks in the residence districts will
display rose flowers this year.
The rose festival this year will be
celebrated June 9, 10 and II, when
more than 25,OOOO0O rose flowers will
be in bloom as one of the big features.
One garden alone at Peninsula will
show 100000 rose flowers. More
than 100000 will be used on the dec
grated automobiles and vehicles, and
millions more in the downtown street
decorations.

WRECK RESTORED TO
HEALTH BY Great KID
NEY REMEDY

feel it my duty to furnish you with
my testimonial as to what your rem
edy Swamp-Root did for me when
was a physical wreck from kidney and
bladder trouble.
Some years ago l was not able to
do any work and could only just creep
around and am satisfied that had it
not been for DR.. Kilmer's SWamp-RoOt
l would not have lived. After using
the preparation for one month l was
able to work some and when I had
used $500 worth of Swamp-Root 1
could do a good days work. I used
about $1,000 worth altogether and
would not take $4,000 for the good
that it did me. I consider it God

diseases for which you recommend it
and have recommended it to many
sufferers.

WORK ON State HIGHWAY
ALONG COAST route RUSHED
MARKED PROGRESS TO BE MADE
DURING SUMMER MONTHS
Announcement Made by State Highway
Commissioner Shows Rapid Work
on Link Between Two Fairs

LOS ANGELES, March 23-All
travel between Santa Barbara and San
Luis Obispo on the coast route be-
tween Los Angeles and San Francisco
will be routed through San Marcos
pass and FOXen canyon this summer
This important announcement was
made last week by C. N. Darlington
of the state highway commission.
Marked progress will be made in the
construction of the coast highway this
summer. At the first bond sale after
July 1, Santa Barbara, Ventura and
Monterey counties will take enough
highway bonds to finish the road work
in their territory. Five hundred thou
sand dollars will be required in Santa
Barbara county, $25O,OOO in Ventura,
and about 100000 in Monterey
county.
With the opening of the Canejo
grade, scheduled for April 1, highway
will be completed between Los Angeles
and Camarillo. From Ventura to Car
pinteria the Rincon road is in good
shape. Good roads are provided from
Carpinteria into Santa Barbara. From
Santa Barbara the road is fair to the
foot of the San Marcos pass At pres
ent the San Marcos is in very poor
condition, but will be put into shape
for easy travel.
The road along the Santa Ynez river
into Los Olivos is in fair shape at
present, and will be greatly improved
before the summer rush of travel be-
gins. From Los Olivos to Santa Maria
via FoXen canyon the roads are good.
10 o1,.o
change throughout the summer as con-
struction work on the state highway
advances. At present it is necessary
to detour from Santa Maria to Guala-
lupe and thence to Nipomo, Oceano,
Pizmo, Edna and San Luis Obispo.
However, the Guadalupe detour will
be done away with in another month
From San Luis Obispo the state
highway is open as far as Atascadero,
and the road from Paso Robles to Brad
ley at present is via Estrella on the
King City-Bradley road. The road on
the west side of the Salinas will be
open again as soon as the rains are
over. From Bradley over the Jolon
grade the roads are in good condition
to Salinas. From Salinas to Nativi-
dad via the San Juan grade they are
fair. Grading off the San Juan grade
will be completed shortly.
The state highway is complete from
Sargent into San Jose and from Santa
Clara into San Francisco. There is a
rough stretch of nearly two miles be-
tween Santa Clara and San Jose.
1t is unfortunate that CALIFORNIA;
highway system could not be complet-
ed before the opening of the San
Francisco exposition. But the unset
tied condition of the bond market and
lack of necessary funds have delayed
the work

OLIVE day RECALLS HISTORY
OF fruit IN California
FIRST TREES PLANTED NEAR SAN
DIEGO IN 1868
Franciscan Fathers Planted Cuttings
Around All Missions as They
Were Established

LOS ANGELES, Mar. 23.-On Cali
fornia Ripe Olive day, March 81, olive
growers and olive packers will not
only do honor to the ripe olive, but
will also honor the work that Califor-
mia has done in spreading abroad the
gospel of the ripe olive. In fact, one
of the most interesting things in con-
nection with the plans of California
Ripe Olive day has been the attention
that has been called to the history of
the olive and to those who are respon-
sible for the perfection of the ripe
olive.
1t was in 1853 that Father Junipero
Sierra led a party of Franciscan fathers
from their Mission in Lower Califor-
mia northward into the wild and then
unknown territory which is now the
state of California.
Their first mission was established
at San Diego. Around this mission
they planted an orcnard, containing
principally the varieties of fruit grown
in southern Europe.
AS they marched northward to es-
tablish other missions, they took with
them cuttings and seedlings from this
pdIOuC anu Ill ILLS way u0N0l-
oped orchards adjacent to twenty
other missions which they established
in different parts Of the state. Thus
the science of horticulture was intro
duced into California.
To Mrs. Freda Ehmann of Oroville
belongs the credit for starting the ripe
olive of California upon it's march to
commercial triumph. She had been
forced to take over an olive grove near
Oroville for a debt. There was no ap-
parent way to get rid of the crop. Her
SON suggested to her that she pickle
the olives. At first Mrs. Ehmann
laughed at the idea, for she had never
seen an olive fresh from the tree. The
next day, however, she began work
She sent samples of her olives to
Professor Hilgard of the University of
California, who encouraged her in her
work, telling her that they we're the
best ripe olives that he had ever
tasted.
This encouraged Mrs. Ehmann, and
upon investigation she found that her
olives were far superior. to other ripe
olives on the market. She disposed of
her crop to Oakland grocers, retain
ing only enough to be used as sam
pies. With these samples she invaded
the East and introduced the California
ripe olives in New York and Philadel-
phia.
