WHERE TAX RAISE PINCHES FULLERTON'S CITY TAXES LARGELY INCREASED OVER LAST YEAR Sata Ana's Trustees Were Astute and Lowered the Tax Rate—Fullerton Trustees Raised Rate—State Board of Equalization Did the Rest —City of Anaheim is Not Affected Fullerton's city taxes this year, $18,959.22. Fullerton's city taxes last year, $8971.07. Increase, $9988.15. As a result of the raise in valuations by the state board of equalization, Fullerton will this year pay $9988.15 more city taxes than in 1898. The increase exceeds the entire amount collected last year by $1017.08. Santa Ana did not fare so wretchedly, although the raise by the state board affected its values for city taxation. Its trustees took time by the forelock and dropped the tax rate from $1.85 in 1908 to $1.20 this year. Had Fullerton followed the same course its people would not now be complaining of high taxes. NOTABLE IMPROVEMENTS Supt. Porter Has Fifty Men at Work on Pipes and Ditches Supt. Porter of the water company has a force of fifty men, divided into three gangs, at work piping and cementing several miles of ditches. The work will cost the company $16,000 and will continue several months. He has constructed a pipe line on Orangethorpe avenue from the Santa Fe crossing to the Smith place, and has a large force cementing the canal from the Berkenstock place to the Tuffree reservoir. Another gang, is at work piping ditches on the Kraemer ranch. Thirty-six, 24 and 20 inch pipe is being used. Speaking of the improved condition of the irrigating system he said the other evening that when he took charge of the company's works eight years ago nine heads of water were brought down from the river in the main ditch, while last summer he brought down 4000 inches, or 40 heads. The company is irrigating 12,000 acres and has no night irrigation. The other side of the river irrigates 16,000 acres, practices night irrigation, and has barely enough water to go round. On this side there is an abundance. ELOUR EASTERN POSA Asks for Erect $40,000, and people. He feet, near a be present contract to the mill. Menced milled from the E.

Fullerton's increase was $537,220. The figures of the assessed valuation in both cities during the past two years are as follows: Fullerton, 1908, $1,031,170; 1909, $1,695,073. This latter amount includes the raise by the state board, aggregating $537,220. Tax rate $1.12. Santa Ana's valuation follows: In 1908, $4,079,582; tax rate, $1.85.

Anaheim's valuations for the two years are as follows: In 1908, $682,410; in 1909, $717,655. This does not include the raise by the state board, except as it refers to state and county taxes. Anaheim pays city taxes upon a valuation of $717,655, while for state and county taxes the total valuation is $1,076,-482. This is exclusive of the railroad assessment. In the figures relating to Santa Ana and Fullerton the railroad assessment is included. In Orange last year the total valuation was $884,555, and this year, for city taxation, $998,075; for state and county taxes, $1,497,112, which includes the state raise of $499,037. These figures are exclusive of railroads. Fullerton and Santa Ana are subject to the state raise for city taxes, while Anaheim and Orange are not. Neither are Newport Beach and Huntington Beach. Why is this? Simply because, on a pretended score of economy, both the former towns dispensed with their local assessors and tax collectors. Both towns have their assessing and tax collecting done by the county assessor and county tax collector. WOODMEN OF WORLD Hold Annual Election and Banquet on Thursday Evening Woodmen of the World held their annual election of officers on Thursday evening at Odd Fellows' hall. The election was followed by a banquet, and toasts were responded to by members of the order. The banquet was prepared by Chef Parrett, assisted by Wallace Scott. The following officers were chosen. They will be installed at the first meeting in January: W. B. Parrett, council commander; C. O. Sayer, advisory lieutenant; J. M. Pickering, banker; Jos. M. Backs Jr., clerk; Elmer Imus, escort; C. L. Glass, watchman; F. A. Borth, sentry; C. F. Grim, manager, 18 months; Wm. Falkenstein, manager, 6 months; J. H. Clabaugh, captain of team. A banquet followed the election of officers, after which the following program was rendered: C. F. Grim acted as toastmaster. A. A. Mills responded to the toast, "What can we do to benefit the social feature of our order." J. W. Duckworth spoke on "Boosting," W. B. Parrett, "How to Land a Prospective." H. G. Meiser, "How to hold him after he is a Woodman." J. S. Howard, "Woodcraft and what it means to Woodmen." B. V. Beebe, "Visiting camps; Does it benefit us?" J. H. Clabaugh, "Open meetings." J. F. Ahlborn, closing remarks. SAN JUAN Father Quetu, who has bought the other evening that when he took charge of the company's works eight years ago nine heads of water were brought down from the river in the main ditch, while last summer he brought down 4000 inches, or 40 heads. The company is irrigating 12,000 acres and has no night irrigation. The other side of the river irrigates 16,000 acres, practices night irrigation, and has barely enough water to go round. On this side there is an abundance. The Yorba reservoir contains 30 feet of water, and more is being run into it constantly. Mr. Porter believes the time will come when the La Habra reservoir will be constructed and the irrigable area largely increased. Anaheim's valuations for the two years are as follows: In 1908, $682,410; in 1909, $717,655. This does not include the raise by the state board, except as it refers to state and county taxes. Anaheim pays city taxes upon a valuation of $717,655, while for state and county taxes the total valuation is $1,076,-482. This is exclusive of the railroad assessment.

These figures are exclusive of railroads. Fullerton and Santa Ana are subject to the state raise for city taxes, while Anaheim and Orange are not. Neither are Newport Beach and Huntington Beach.

Both towns have their assessing and tax collecting done by the county assessor and county tax collector. Fullerton and Santa Ana are subject to the state raise for city taxes, while Anaheim and Orange are not. Neither are Newport Beach and Huntington Beach. Why is this? Simply because, on a pretended score of economy, both the former towns dispensed with their local assessors and tax collectors. Both towns have their assessing and tax collecting done by the county assessor and county tax collector. The county assessor must make his assessments equal, or the county board of equalization will equalize his rolls for him. He cannot assess property at one valuation for county purposes and at another valuation for city purposes. Fullerton's assessment was made by him, at a fair valuation. The state board of equalization increased this valuation 50 per cent, and thereby added $9988.15 in taxes to the amount to be paid by the taxpayers of that city. This increased valuation is also the basis for state and county taxes for this town. Santa Ana, it will be seen, had prepared for the raise, and accordingly dropped its city tax levy from $1.85 to $1.20. An increase of only $2453.09 in taxes followed an increase of property values amounting to $2,119,081. Fullerton's tax levy last year was .87, and this year $1.12. The state board raised its values $537,220, and raised its city values, $9988.15. Anaheim and the other incorporated towns of the county do their own assessing and tax collecting. Some years ago a cry went up here that the city would save money by having the work done by the county, but the city preferred to have the work done by local officials. The assessed valuation of this city is $1,000,210, exclusive of the raise by the state board. The city tax rate is $1.70, and the total amount of taxes to be raised is $17,003.57. H. G.

SAN JUAN Father Quetu, who has bought the old Belford place and five hundred acres adjoining in San Juan Capistrano, has received seventeen horses which he imported from France. Some of the Frenchmen who are going to make their home in this section, came with the stock. One horse of the eighteen started died en route. Among them are five or six handsome roans and one especially beautiful animal, a large black stallion with a white face. Three of the horses are young, being only eighteen months old. In spite of the length of the journey, they came through in splendid shape. Work is progressing rapidly on the four buildings being put up by Father Quetu and his associates. INSURGENTS ACTIVE Advices from Washington are to the effect that 'the so-called Insurgents are moving on the National Capital with the determination of continuing their fight against the Republican organization in both branches of Congress. This information would be disquieting to President Taft were it not for the fact that some of his most notable achievements have been in the role of peace-maker. In the present situation the President is confronted by a problem which is more difficult to solve than any of the other quarrels in which he has acted as mediator. It will be necessary for Mr. Taft to exercise exceptional diplomacy and great diligence to bring the warring elements together. A. A.

F. H. Schneider addressed the chamber of commerce on Monday evening in reference to establishing a flour mill in this city. His proposition is to erect a mill of a capacity of 200 barrels of flour daily, costing $40,000, and giving employment to ten people. He asks for a site 80x200 feet, near a railroad, and if such site be presented him he will enter into contract to build, equip and maintain the mill. Mr. Schneider is an experienced miller, recently arrived here from the East. The chamber of commerce regarded the proposition favorably. The matter was referred to the manufacturing committee for investigation and report. lowing report: In order to unify the work of the chamber of commerce, so that the public in general may assist in the work, I wish to submit a summary of the work in hand. The steam laundry will begin operations this week and we request that all of our local people give the laundry their hearty support. We also desire to get the support of Fullerton, Buena Park, Placentia, Yorba and the Oil Wells for our laundry, making it a northern end of the county affair. The laundry will do first-class, high-grade work. A packing firm has promised to build and equip a first-class packing house for vegetables and oranges. The firm desires to sign up for 400 acres of tomatoes for the coming season and suggest that the growers form an association, as they prefer to deal with an association rather than with individuals. We desire to get the cannery to enlarge and run practically the year round, and to this end the chamber of commerce will lend all possible assistance to any interested parties. Many of our products are now sold, and have been sold, as being grown in other sections. Our canned goods being the best in the world are being used to get sales for GOOD ADVICE TO GROW LOCAL FRUIT ASSOCIATION ES CIRCULAR LETTER TO THEM Season's Valencia Crop IllustriMerit of Co-operative Marketing Association Controls 125 Cars, Exchange 65 Per Cent of all The local fruit association has sued the following circular letter orange growers: The Anaheim Fruit Association Members of the California Fruit Growers' Exchange.

The chamber of commerce regarded the proposition favorably. The matter was referred to the manufacturing committee for investigation and report. There were present Messrs. Mills, Miller, Ahlborn, Wickett and Weisel; absent, Ross and Angell. The following communication was received from the Orange County preserving company, referring to the impending closing down of that institution: Anaheim, Cal., Nov. 22, '09. A. A. Mills, President Chamber of Commerce, Anaheim, Cal. Dear Sir:—In reply to your letter of the 20th inst., in regard to cannery and drying business. We have about decided to sell our business, as our Mrs. Boyd does not feel able to further carry on the same: The cannery is in first-class running order, equipped for canning fruits and tomatoes, also for packing oranges. We have a building and acre of ground across from our cannery site that would be suitable for dryer, etc. We have less than a carload of unsold goods on hand, and these are peaches, and the market is looking up on these goods, and at present there is an active demand for canned goods. The opportunities for a cannery and dryer are of the best here, as there is much new territory being planted to fruits and vegetables. The products are of the best, being of especially good flavor and naturally high-colored. Our tomatoes are the best colored of any in California, and are often shown as samples to sell inferior goods. The business has always paid and will prove a good investment for capital as well as proving a good business for the town. Yours very truly, Orange County Preserving Company. By E. H. Boyd. It is understood local capitalists are ready to make an offer for the plant and continue its operation. Mr. Mills pointed out that the tomatoes marketed by the institution do not bear the name of this locality, but simply the Quall brand and a general guarantee of a Los Angeles wholesale house. He suggested that association, as they prefer to deal with an association rather than with individuals. We desire to get the cannery to enlarge and run practically the year round, and to this end the chamber of commerce will lend all possible assistance to any interested parties. Many of our products are now sold, and have been sold, as being grown in other sections. Our canned goods being the best in the world are being used to get sales for inferior goods. We desire to have everything grown here to carry the Anaheim label. Parties are now contemplating the building of a nice, modern hotel. It is desirable to have the paving extended far beyond the original territory and to this end the chamber of commerce will do all possible. Four of the foregoing propositions are depending for success on the immediate construction of a sewer system. A large laundry cannot be expected to succeed for long without a sewer; a large hotel will need sewer connection; a cannery cannot be run extensively without a sewer. As already, in the flush of the season, it has been necessary to relieve the cesspool by hauling the sewage away in wagons. People are loath to sign up for further paving until the sewers are in, as they do not want to have the paving cut up to lay sewers and connections. It is hoped that all will aid in securing sewers at the earliest possible date. Negotiations are now under way for a 200-barrel capacity flour mill. TO FIGHT MACHINE Orange County Republicans Organize Reform League Leading Republicans of Orange county met in the office of Senator John N. Anderson on Friday evening and organized the "Republican Reform League of Orange County." The meeting was attended by several Republicans from each section of the county, some twenty-five or thirty in all. Orange, Fullerton, Anaheim, Newport, San Juan Capistrano, Tustin, Garden Grove, Placentia, Westminster, Huntington Beach and other sections of the county were represented, besides Santa Ana. Col. O. H. Coulter was elected chair man of the meeting and Fred West of Fullerton secretary. To All Members of the Association The new season of 1909-1910 was about to open and we feel it time as a branch of the California Fruit Growers' Exchange to send each member this letter outlining the general policy of our association the common season and calling for the unanimous support of each member in the work of the association, to represent a better grade of fruit, better and more careful handling of the fruit when it is being picked and hauled, and by advertising to all those who are yet members, the beneficial principles and the co-operative success marketing methods of the California Fruit Growers' Exchange. The Exchange now controls 65 percent of the entire crop of California and is increasing yearly. The directors of the Exchange fright top to bottom are growers themselves and are thus naturally working with the best interests of the growers in heart. The Valencia season, just passed showed more clearly than ever before, how essential it was to have local branch of the Exchange in every citrus growing section. With many carloads on the trees, for which cash buyers would could not man an offer, those growers who were then not members of the Exchange had only one thing left for them to do, and that was the consignment their fruit through commission men and the majority of us knew the day appointment and utter uselessness such a course, and those who had been through this costly experience in the past hurried to have their fruit taken care of by the Exchange and the Exchange, ever ready to protect the citrus industry, took in many as they possibly could on such short notice, with the result that very satisfactory returns were obtained for fruit that was otherwise unsalable, and also gained for the Exchange many more friends and supporters. The Anaheim Fruit Association starts out with the largest membership ship list it has ever had, viz., 45; representing as near as can be estimated at this time, 125 cars. Our packing house, situated east of the Pawtucket company on the Southern Pacific tracks, will be equipped to handle this output with the highest possible efficiency, and everything that actual experience has taught us will be done to insure the proper handling of the fruit in every detail. It is understood local capitalists are ready to make an offer for the plant and continue its operation. Mr. Mills pointed out that the tomatoes marketed by the institution do not bear the name of this locality, but simply the Quail brand and a general guarantee of a Los Angeles wholesale house. He suggested that an effort be made to have this changed, so that Anaheim may have the credit of growing the best tomatoes. J. F. Ahlborn acted as secretary in the absence of George Ross. The secretary reported 96 inquiries last month for literature regarding this section, all of which was supplied. H. V. Weisel of the committee on safety of public buildings reported he had interviewed the city trustees in reference to adopting an ordinance making it obligatory upon the school trustees to have doors in school buildings swing outward. He reported the city trustees seemed rather disinclined to take the initiative, referring to leave the matter to the school trustees. He added he would again appear before the board and urge the propriety of the matter. A. A. Mills was appointed a committee to appear before the city trustees and ask that a license of $30 a month be imposed on outside laundry wagons. It was stated at the meeting that an outside laundry was paying the former owner of the laundry here $30 per month to keep the laundry closed. The laundry has recently been purchased by other parties, and is now in operation. At the former meeting of the chamber a warrant in the sum of $35 was ordered drawn in favor of Bobby Mills and John Ziegler to pay for amount remaining due for the recent banquet of the associated chambers of commerce, when 35 banqueters failed to pay for their feed. President Mills submitted the following: The meeting was attended by several Republicans from each section of the county, some twenty-five or thirty in all. Orange, Fullerton, Anaheim, Newport, San Juan Capistrano, Tustin, Garden Grove, Placentia, Westminster, Huntington Beach and other sections of the county were represented, besides Santa Ana. Col. O. H. Coulter was elected chair man of the meeting and Fred West of Fullerton secretary. Nearly every man present spoke briefly on the objects of the organization, and the unanimous expression was that its main purpose should be to protect the Republican voters of Orange county against disenfranchisement by professional politicians and "machine" representatives, to restore the control of the party to the voters of the party; and to secure the nomination and election to all offices of the ablest and best men who could be induced to accept them. All Republicans are invited to join the League, without initiation fee or dues, or at least to co-operate with it in the work it has undertaken. Temporary organization was affected by the election of Fred West of Fullerton, president of the League; Robert Speed of Old Newport, secretary; and the First National bank of Fullerton, treasurer. A committee consisting of Wm. F. Lutz, J. P. Baumgartner and Fred West, was appointed to recommend a name and they have decided upon that given above, Republican Reform League of Orange County, which is subject to the approval of the league at its next meeting. At that meeting a committee, to be appointed by President West, will report a platform of principles. The president of the League will appoint a vice president in every important section of the county. Turkey dinner at Commercial hotel Thanksgiving day, 50cts.; beer, wine; ice tea or milk included. The Anaheim Fruit Association starts out with the largest member ship list it has ever had, viz., 45; representing as near as can be estimated at this time, 125 cars. Our packing house, situated east of the Pavilion company on the Southern Pacific tracks, will be equipped to handle this output with the highest possible efficiency, and everything that actual experience has taught us will be done to insure the proper handling of the fruit in every detail. We are starting out with the fixed idea of making this Association a permanent establishment, firmly believing that through consistency and thoroughness our brands will find a permanent place amongst the highest in the market. In order that our work may be carried out to a successful termination it is the duty of every member to give their Association all assistance in their power, by doing everything they can to produce a better quality of fruit, and keeping it absolutely free from scale of all kinds. No picking should be allowed during foggy weather, or when the fruit or trees are wet. Fruit should not be allowed to stand long in the orchards during hot weather, and should at this time be protected with a canvas covering. Growers should insist on the pickers and teamsters handling the boxes and fruit carefully, and see that all wagons are provided with regulation springs. Get after your neighbor, if he isn't a member of the Association, and provided he is raising a good quality of fruit, explain to him why he should be a member of the Exchange, and get him to investigate Exchange methods of marketing, and always bear in mind that you, as a grower, are personally and vitally interested in providing and maintaining a strong and up-to-date Association for your section, not only to meet the present needs, but for your protection in the seasons to come. Yours very truly, Anaheim Fruit Association. G. W. Sandilands, Mgr.

E'S MARKSMEN VICTORS Defeat Rifle Team of Company G of Redlands Rifle teams of Co. G of Redlands and Co. E of Anaheim met at the range last Sunday. Anaheim defeated Redlands at all stages of the game. The same medicine had been prepared for a team from Santa Ana but after elaborate preparations had been made for them they failed to show up. Alternate Cadman was put in in Spielman's place, as the latter was unable to be present, and Cadman was the only one of the team who did not make a good showing. He is a comparatively new man and will no doubt improve by complying with the rules laid down for the team. Alternates Conrad and Boege shot poorly, no doubt due to lack of training. Lieut. Selinger made high individual score, and won a beautiful silver clothes brush, donated by B. Hartfield. If sufficient interest can be aroused another team will be organized in Company E.

Both brides looked very pretty in dresses of white messeline with pearl trimmings, and each carried a bride's bouquet of orange blossoms and a shower bouquet of white carnations. Miss Aust was attired in cream serge, with heavy lace trimmings. Miss Jones wore a dress of apricot-colored cassimere. Both bridemaids carried yellow roses. After the ceremony the newly married couples were recipients of hearty congratulations. The wedding presents were numerous and costly: An elaborate wedding breakfast was served at Huenemeyer's cafe, which was attended by many friends and relatives. The newly married couples left on a wedding tour to neighboring points of interest, and on their return will take up their residence in this city. At the residence of the bride's parents, Mr. and Mrs. A. G. Blom, three miles southwest of this city, Fred C. Conrad Jr. will this afternoon at 4 o'clock be joined in wedlock to Miss Stella Blom.
