WAITS RIVER
House of William Sweet, with Contents,
Destroyed by Fire-No Insurance.

Our community suffered another loss
when fire destroyed the house and con
Meeting sheds belonging to William Sweet
last Saturday morning. The fire was
discovered shortly after s o'clock by
members of the family, who did all in
their power TO put out the blaze. Help
was called for over the telephone, to
which many responded, but the flames
had gained such Roadway that it was
beyond control. Little was saved from
the household possessions, on which there
was no insurance. On these extreme cir
cumstances the townsmen of this place,
together with others from the surround
ing towns, donated money, clothing,
crockery, bedding, etc, for their immedi-
ate use. The household goods were
moved into the NJ, E. parsonage during
the afternoon Saturday, together with
that which was donated. Many willing
hands engaged in placing the necessary
things for immediate occupancy. The
family are very grateful for the many
kindnesses conferred upon them in this
trying hour.

All the members of the Board OF
Supervisors were present, and from
expressions of individual members dur.
ing the past few months while the
flood control question has been under
discussion, it is regarded as practic
ally certain that the flood control
program, as outlined by the associa.
ton yesterday, will be adopted by the
board.
Supervisors Divided
The board of supervisors itself has
been sharply divided on this matter
from the beginning, and in spite of the
recommendations of the Flood Control
Association it is doubtful if there will
be any important change in the situa.
ton. Supervisors Woodley and Prid-
ham have insisted all along that the
bonds should be segregated on the bal
lot, and according to statements made
after the meeting Saturday they have
not changed their opinions in this re-
gard. They say they believe it is up
to the people of the entire flood con-
troll district, which is practically the
entire county, to say what work they
desire done, and by putting the bond
issue up to them as unit this will be
impossible.
AS the action of the Flood Control
Association was merely advisory, the
entire matter still is in the hands of
the supervisors for final decision.
The supervisors have under consid-
Grafton proposition to call special
election to vote on the issuance of $3,-
100000 of bonds, the proceeds of which
are to be divided into $1,600,0OO for
conservation purposes, $1,000,000 for
channel protection and $1,OOO,0O0 for
the requirement of rights of yay. The
only material point of difference in re
gard to, this proposition is as to
whether they shall be submitted to the
people in such form as will permit
them to vote upon these amounts sep
arately.

COOPERATION IN
CHINA is PROPHECY

TOXIC, Feb. 14-Financia1 and in
dustrial cooperation of Japanese and
American business men for the ex-

program foreshadowed by Baron Shi-
busawa, the 'Pierpont Morgan Of ia
pan," in an interview which he gave
on his return from his trip to the

Il took every opportunity" he said,
"of impressing upon my American
friends the desirability and also the
practicability of a general understand
ing and, if possible, cooperation be-
tween American capitalists and Japa

sources of China. | was pleased to

u. S. ARMAMENT
CENSUS KEPT SECRET

WASHINGTON, Feb. ia census
of all the arms, ammunition and eX
plosives in the United States has just
been secretly concluded by the fed
eral authorities, it was learned here
The census shows just how much ma.
terial of this sort is in the country and
also just where it is and in whose
possession. The purpose of the in
ventory is:
First, the government wanted tC
know of and be able to keep an eye on
the munitions and the persons in pos
session of them in connection with the
various dynamite plots and military ex-
petitions against friendly states and
second, the government wanted to
know how much available material of
this kind could be depended upon by
the American army and navy in case
of war
Agents of the department of justice,
the secret service and other branches
of the government service having
widely scattered field representatives
gathered the information quietly.

VOTE ON FLOOD BOND ISSUE
Los ANGELES ASSOCIATION RECOMMENDS $3,6OO,O00 OR
MORE TO PROTECT DISTRICT AGAINST FUTURE DAMAGE
Check Dam Reclamation of LOWands by Improving Channels and Other
Measures Called For Engineers Supervisors Hear Advice to Submit
Vote for Bond Issue One Ballot Without Seggatng Proposals

LOS ANGELES, Feb. 15.-The Los
after perfecting permanent organiza-
tion Saturday, took action by prac-
tically unanimous vote recommending
to the Board of Supervisors this pro-
gram for flood control in the county:
CD That the contemplated bond is
sue shall not be less than $3,600,000,
and as large as the Supervisors decide
is necessary for adequate protection.
(2) That the bond question shall not
be segregated on the ballot as to
amounts for different purposes, but
placed before the voters as one propo-
sition.
(3) That a comprehensive plan of
flood control, embracing all the vari-
Gus features of (a) conservation
through the construction of a series
of check dams in the mountain dis
tricts and spreading of streams at the
mouths of canyons; (b) reclamation in
the lowlands by defining and straight
ening the channels of streams and riv-
ers and the reinforcing of banks in
dangerous and low places, and (c) the
protection of the harbor from silt
should be worked out by the flood con-
troll engineer as soon as possible, and
(4) That the voters shall be given
full information as to what the plan is
before the election and the pToposi-
ton, as placed before them, shall state
how much money is to be expended for
each kind of control work.
Few Vote Segregation
While it was evident that there we're
a number present who favored the
segregation of the bond issue-this be-
ing the principal question around which
the discussion hinged-when the final
vote was put and rising vote called
only three, out of several hundred del
egates from various commercial organ
izations and civic bodies in the county
stood up to record their votes against
single bond proposition.

CALIFORNIA STATE FAIR
PROMISES TO BE LARGEST
MANY FIRMS HAVE THEIR EX
HIBITS READY NOW
Prediction Made That 1t Will Be More
Varied in Exhibits and of Greater
Educational Value Than Ever
Before Known in History

SACRAMENTO, Feb. 15-The next
California State Fair will begin Sep.
tember and continue one week, in
Guiding Admission Day.
This will be the largest State Fair
ever held in California and will mark
the opening of new era in the States
annual show. 1t will be more exten-
sive affair, more varied in it's exhibits
and attractions, of greater educational
value and of greater benefit to the peo-
pie of the State through the informa-
ton it will supply by means of ex-
amples of what others have done and
what California can do by right meth
ods.
The exposition last year taught ex-
hibitOrs so much about how to exhibit
that they will henceforth make a much
better showing than they have in the
past, and the benefits they derive will
teach them to be constant exhibitors
There will, from present indications,
be larger number of exhibitors this
year than in the past, and space in the
big pavilions will probably be scarce
long before the time for installing the
exhibits is here. Many firms outside
the State are already speaking for
space. They have their exhibits here
already, having moved them from the
exposition grounds, and will seek to
have their wares well known in Cali
fornia through the medium of the State
Fair. These include manufactures in
various lines as we'll as livestock
breeders.
/ Californiahs will have good cause to
be proud of their State Fair this year,
and will find in it much to interest
them and merit their commentator.
The State Agricultural Society is
ready to call for bids for the construc-
tion of the Women's Building, which
is to be an added feature of the State
Fairs henceforth The building will
occupy site that has been saved for it
in the group of main structures that
make up the city on the State Agricul-
tural Park. Some minor changes are
being made in the plans before they
will meet with all requirements.
