ASSOCIATED ORANGE GROWERS It is with pleasure that we wish to draw our readers attention to the details of the annual meeting of the members of the Anaheim Fruit Association and the report of its secretary which will be found in another column. The results of this association present themselves to us with special gratification because we have taken every opportunity, and they have been many, to study closely for years the orange industry, most particularly as its history unfolded itself to us in this section of the country. We have seen the time when the industry, yet in its infancy, was unable to bring its owners any profitable returns, there being no co-operation or organization amongst the growers. We also remember the time when commission men and speculative buyers had practically every grower in their power, offering almost any price they pleased, and knowing that on account of lack of ange crop, and there is no doubt that competition is a good thing in every community, and as a matter of fact it will take several packing houses to handle the crop from this section in a few years. We would, however, warn the newcomer who has recently acquired orchard property to slow when it comes to deciding what organization he shall join in order to market his fruit. But we know enough about the Exchange and the present management of the Anaheim Fruit Association to state that the interests of every grower will always be taken care of there, and their net returns not only assured but should average higher than through any other organization because no other organization is able financially to offer the marketing facilities as provided by the California Fruit Growers Exchange. VOLUME 42 The Gazette with this issue begins the forty-second year of its publication. It was established in 1870, when this section was sparsely settled, but the Ploneers demanded a newspaper, and the Gazette was established to meet the call for a weekly newspaper. Its patronage was exceedingly flattering from the start, and was never better than at the present moment. The Gazette is the oldest newspaper but one in Southern California. It has names upon its subscription books which have graced their pages since its initial number. To these as well as all others the publisher extends his thanks for their support, and promises to keep the pa- the orange industry, most particularly as its history unfolded itself to us in this section of the country. We have seen the time when the industry, yet in its infancy, was unable to bring its owners any profitable returns, there being no co-operation or organization amongst the growers. We also remember the time when commission men and speculative buyers had practically every grower in their power, offering almost any price they pleased, and knowing that on account of lack of unionism or protective co-operation on the part of the growers, what they offered was pretty sure to be accepted. We noted the organization of the California Fruit Growers Exchange some 16 years ago with satisfaction, and predicted that under proper management it would be the salvation of every orange grower in California. The Exchange, like all large undertakings, had its troubles and obstacles in the first years of its existence. These were rapidly overcome and the organization improved step by step until in the last few years it has become the recognized head of all selling organizations, and today upholds this enviable standing by the fact that it is supported by over 61 per cent of the entire citrus crop of the state. Today, it is due to the vast and successful operations of this organization, whose sole aim has always been to market our citrus crop at actual cost to the grower, and to supply him with necessities for his grove at prices that will not only enable him to raise cheaper but better fruit, it has uplifted the orange grower to where he rightfully belonged, to the controlling head of the industry, and placed with organized facilities, the selling or marketing of his crop and what he shall receive for that crop, compatible with prevailing markets, in the hollow of his hand. Since the re-organization of the Anaheim Fruit Association, affiliating as it did with the California Fruit Growers Exchange, the results obtained have been more than gratifying, just as we felt they would be under proper management. The board of directors were fortunate and farsighted in the selection of their manager, Mr. Gerald Sandilands, on whom the success or failure of any association depends, at the packing end of the business; offering the position to a man whom we have known for many years, and whose experience in the orange business was wide and extend- and the Gazette was established to meet the call for a weekly newspaper.

BOYS MILITARY DRILL The Fullerton union high school boys have taken advantage of the new law permitting military drill in the high school. They organized a company of 56 boys, Tuesday, Oct. 10 and elected officers as follows: Julian S. Gobar captain, Stewart Miller first lieutenant, John M. Ortega second lieutenant. The state will furnish arms. The boys have voted to wear uniforms. The law allows a special cadet uniform which will be furnished at small cost. The gymnasium periods have been devoted to this work and will be so until the town gets a gym. The company voted to drill on each Friday noon and asked for the national guard officer to inspect and drill once each month on a Saturday afternoon. TOOL CHESTS BURGLED Two Carpenters Lose $50 Worth of Saws, Etc., Tuesday Night When Posthwait & Trefern, carpenters, started to work on a new house they are building at the corner of Chartres and Santa Fe streets on Wednesday morning they discovered that their tool chest had been broken open and tools to the value of 25 stolen. Ralph Sheldon, who is employed on the new Christian Science church, had a like experience, his loss being about the same as Posthwait's. Mr. Sheldon's chest was standing on the porch of the new building, and tools which the thief had neglected were scattered promiscuously about the premises. Two chisels which Mr. Posthwait identified as his property, were found on the porch of the church. These had been used in prying open the lid of Sheldon's chest. The officers have a pretty good clew to the thief as it was reported that a strange man was trying to sell Growers Exchange, the results obtained have been more than gratifying, just as we felt they would be under proper management. The board of directors were fortunate and farsighted in the selection of their manager, Mr. Gerald Sandilands, on whom the success or failure of any association depends, at the packing end of the business; offering the position to a man whom we have known for many years, and whose experience in the orange business was wide and extended over a period of 19 years; and who was especially fitted for the position by reason of the fact that he had spent a number of years in the largest citrus market in the world—New York City. He was actively engaged in the orange business there and thus obtaining a valuable insight into the wants of the trade, their ideas and demands, such as few, if any, packing house manager is fortunate enough to obtain. There are several important points in the annual report of the Anaheim Fruit association that the grower should take time to consider in order to appreciate their true value. First, the results of the packing-house work, the large percentage of the cars reported as "good" to "very good" proves consistency—a valuable feature. Second, the refund on total shipments, showing how the grower is charged actual cost for every operation in the moving of his fruit, and thus obtaining full value for his crop. Third, the money saved in supplies as obtained by the association. This should be added to net returns for his fruit. Fourth, the fine financial standing of the association and the solid establishment of its brands both of which are foundations of rock to every association, and the most valuable of its assets.

FLOURISHED A REVOLVER Mexican Tries to Scare Deputy Sheriff, Gets Into Trouble Manuel Silvas, a Los Alamitos Mexican, who flourished a revolver in an attempt to scare Deputy Sheriff Jernigan, was arrested and taken to Santa Ana, and later in the township court was fined $50 for his offense and remanded to the care of the Sheriff until the cash should be forthcoming. Sheriff Ruddock and Deputy Jernigan were called to Los Alamitos on Tuesday morning by a report that a man named College was disturbing the peace, and when they got there they found it to be simply a case of too much booze, as a result of which College was arrested and taken into the township court and fined $10.

FOUR CANDIDATES FOR THE PLACE Four candidates are aspiring to the position of State Horticultural Commissioner J. W. Jeffry, whose term expired on Tuesday himself, is one of them. Dudley Moulton, his deputy, is another, and Prof. Warren T. Clarke of the University of California, and A. J. Cooke of Pomona College, the others. This is one of the appointive positions filled by the governor, and carries a salary of $3000. While the report has been current that Clarke or Cook would likely be the new commissioner, Jeffrey has not lost hope of being reappointed. Although he received his first appointment from Gov. Gillett in 1907, Jeffrey has not permitted that fact to keep him from joining forces with the republicans now in. In addition, he has been working hard in the last few months to obtain the endorsement of all the leading fruit growing organizations of the state, and is backed by most of them in his petition for reappointment. Prof. Clarke is also well recommended and in recent days numbers of his friends have called upon the Sheriff Ruddock and Deputy Jernigan were called to Los Alamitos on Tuesday morning by a report that a man named College was disturbing the peace, and when they got there they found it to be simply a case of too much booze, as a result of which College was arrested and taken into the township court and fined $10. As Sheriff Ruddock and Deputy Jernigan were on their return to Santa Ana, and just as they came to the Los Alamitos store, Jernigan noticed a horse and buggy without a driver coming along the road, and got out of his automobile to see what was the trouble, when just as he neared the rig, Silvas approached on a run and flourished a revolver in Jernigan's face. The officer quickly disarmed the man and with the assistance of Sheriff Ruddock handcuffed him and threw him into the automobile and landed him in jail. Later, he was found guilty of carrying concealed weapons and fined $50. A social event of the coming week will be a card party given by the Children of Mary Sodality of St. Boniface church. The party will be held at Knights of Columbus hall on the evening of October 25th. Games to begin at 8 o'clock. Refreshments will be served and prizes awarded.
