At this writing (October total number of carloads for this season's shipments) and that for lemons 6525 grand total of 42,925 carloads present the daily numbers going forth will average angles, and possibly 10 tons. It is thought, on a basis, that the crop-year total 43,500 carloads. E boxes, the total is something 200,000. Allowing for the cost of in the east; taking into account jobbers' profits final values of California and lemon crop must represent not far from $50,000,000. Licence of the industry in economy is illustrated in on the prosperity of towns and communities. Thus we note the year done by the Claremont station amounted to 91 carloads, selling for $400,816 sum the growers received Another unit, the Mutual tributors of Redlands, six cars of oranges for the manding $3,612,174. After freight, iceing, etc., there distribution among the ores, $2,250,000, represen G. D. Kellar was in town from Los Angeles on Tuesday looking up the pumping plant business. Mr. and Mrs. John Schillings of Los Angeles were over Sunday guests of Mr. and Mrs. Simpson. Mr. and Mrs. L. A. Evans and family enjoyed an auto ride on Sunday afternoon to points of interest about the city. Mr. and Mrs. H. L. McLellan had as guests over Sunday Mrs. McLellan's brother, H. J.

The petition is to be heard on February 19, 1912. Witnesses who have known him five years are John Kellenberger and C., D. Lester. Fischele is 32 years old, a native of Germany and came to this country in 1903. Earl Bacon of Marietta, Wisconsin, has entered the employ of the Wickersheim Implement Co. Mr. Bacon with his wife and child arrived from the east about a week ago. He has purchased two lots in Fullerton from Chas. Ruddock and has already begun the erection of a barn and residence. Joseph Fiscus has placed us under obligations to him for a donation of extra fancy softshell walnuts gathered from his southside orchards. When it comes to growing walnuts that are large and sweet and juicy Mr. Fiscus takes his place at the head of the procession, and his present season's crop is, he says, the best he ever raised. In recent shipments to New York by the local association his walnuts played an important part, and if the consignment was as meritorious as the donation, we see no reason why local walnuts should not have slipped a large one over foreign importations. Manager Hadsell paid high tribute to Superintendent Ege of the Anaheim sugar factory yesterday, when J. W. Duckworth yesterday purchased from S. O. Walker a house and lot at the corner of Adele and Los Angeles streets, paying $6000. Mr. Duckworth will move into the residence with his family. He will shortly begin the erection of a new residence on his Broadway property. Mrs. E.

Mr. Baxter has moved with his family into Anaheim and taken a residence on Clementina street. He has lived in the Brookshurst neighborhood thirteen years, having purchased the ranch just sold five years ago. Directors of the Santa Ana river development company met in executive session at the water office here on Thursday. The two water boards representing the Anaheim Union Water company and the Santa Ana Valley Irrigation company will hold a conference at the former's office here shortly to discuss the propriety of further joint action up the river.

The tract contains a residence, store building and other improvements. The new purchaser takes possession March 1, and will set the tract to Valencias. Mr.Duckworth purchased the property four takes his place at the head of the procession, and his present season's crop is, he says, the best he ever raised. In recent shipments to New York by the local association his walnuts played an important part, and if the consignment was as meritorious as the donation, we see no reason why local walnuts should not have slipped a large one over foreign importations. Manager Hadsell paid high tribute to Superintendent Egge of the Anaheim sugar factory yesterday, when he declared he was one of the best sugar makers in the country. The mill has sliced nearly 800 tons of beets during its best day's run, and when it is known that its capacity is 600 tons, this looks good for Mr. Egge's ability. The mill closed down slicing beets this week, and will today begin on the Osmose process for a six weeks' run. Mr. Hadsell will erect a sugar mill in the Hynes-Clearwater section in time for handling the crop of 1913. He intended building the mill in time for next season's crop, but inability to procure seed from Germany, on account of crop failure, sets off the enterprise another year. J. A. Turner, cashier of the Farmers and Merchants' National bank of Santa Ana, returned on Monday afternoon from a recreation trip of two months in Missouri. Turner spent a good deal of his time hunting foxes, and he came back much pleased with the showing that his pack of California hounds made against the Missouri dogs. He entered his six dogs in competition at the hunt of the North western fox hunting association at Ridgeway and at the hunt of the Central Missouri fox hunting association at Excelsior Springs. AtE excelsior his pack was teh only one that caught a red fox above ground. Several other foxes were run into holes. Turner trained his dogs by hunting coyotes in the foothills near the county park in this county. trons are especially requested to make Tuesday a visiting day among the schools. J. W. Duckworth this week sold through the Anaheim Realty company ten acres on West Broadway to J. Burhman, a recent arrival from the east, for $12,000. The tract contains a residence, store building and other improvements. The new purchaser takes possession March 1, and will set the tract to Valencias.

Don't forget your friends on this day of plenty, but send them a Thanksgiving Card of remembrance. A full line at my store. Jos. Helmsen ORANGE AND LEMON INDUSTRY The following, written for the Pacific Rural Press, by H. W. Kruckenberg, of Los Angeles, is of interest to orange growers: With all due respect to the orange and lemon growing industry north of the Tehachepi mountains, Southern California is the dominant factor in the production of citrus fruits in this country. At this writing (October 11th) the total number of carloads of oranges for this season's shipments is 36,400, and that for lemons 6525, making a grand total of 42,925 carloads. At present the daily number of carloads going forth will average 35 of oranges, and possibly 10 to 12 of lemons. It is thought, on a conservative basis, that the crop-year will finally total 43,500 carloads. Estimated in boxes, the total is something like 14,-800,000. Allowing for the cost of marketing in the east; taking into account distribution, jobbers' profits, etc., the final values of California's orange and lemon crop must represent a sum not far from $50,000,000. The significance of the industry in our rural economy is illustrated in its bearing on the prosperity of the smaller towns and communities. Thus we note the year's business alone by the Claremont citrus association amounted to 91 carloads of oranges, selling for $400,816.12, of which sum the growers received $315,268.68. Another unit, the Mutual orange distributors of Redlands, shipped 3170 years of oranges for the season, commanding $3,612,174. After deducting freight, iceing, etc., there remained for distribution among the owners of the trees, $2,250,000, representing an inmorning with a fresh record to be made. This must not be muddled ANAHEIM GAZETTE Can You Beat It? Gas at $1.25 per 1,000 cubic feet, at this price it is absolutely the cheapest fuel you can use.

Another unit, the Mutual orange distributors of Redlands, shipped 3170 years of oranges for the season, commanding $3,612,174. After deducting freight, iceing, etc., there remained for distribution among the owners of the trees, $2,250,000, representing an increase of 50 per cent over last year's business. It is factors like these that speak eloquently of the substantial character of the citrus industry. Is it any wonder that, in spite of some drawbacks, the state is still planting annually a large additional acreage to the kingly orange and the queenly lemon? KEEPING RIVER IN CHECK Newbert Protection District Preparing to Build Wing Dams The board of directors of Newbert protection district, which is organized to control flood waters of Santa Ana river, has called for bids, to be opened on Nov. 25, for wings to be built along the channel from Santiago creek to the lower end of the channel. Specifications are by items, one calling for 660 piles, another for 4000 pounds of barbed wire and another for doing the work. These wings are to be erected every 2000 feet along the channel, excepting at the curve below Fifth street, Santa Ana, where the distance between the wings will be 1000 feet. The central channel is now being dredged by the Stewart dredging company. Wings will run from the outer edge of the channel to the inner channel, serving to turn the water always to the main central channel. Piles are to be set ten feet apart and are to bear eight strands of wire. Wings will set in an angle. There will be one set of wings at the upper end of the channel at the Santiago creek. There will be two sets above the Pacific Electric river bridge, three on the curve below the bridge, six from the curve to Talbert bridge and seven below the Talbert bridge. These must be constructed under the supervision of the engineer, H. Clay Kellogg. JAP FISHERMAN ARRESTED Ton and a Half of Abalone Taken at Laguña Illegally Seven Japanese fishermen were arming with a fresh record to be made. This must not be muddled with the blurs of yesterday nor the possible blots of tomorrow. The girl who gets the clean slate habit, realizing the value of living but a day at a time, determines to make that day as bright and helpful as she can. She seeks to write upon it only plaesant things. If the disagreeable ones must go down she looks forward to the morrow, when they can be rubbed out, though perhaps they must be rewritten. The girl with the clean slate habit does not force early wrinkles by the dread of the mrorow. She takes all the fun of the strong habit that even the worries as they come fail to blur the slate. Try it just for one day. Begin this morning to rub out of your collection the things you failed to do and the things you may fall in doing. Determine, until you go to bed tonight, to live for the next thing as well and as cheerfully as you can. If a day spent is not entirely as you would spend it, at least the average of happiness is higher than if you passed the hours in vain regrets and vainer forebodings until no more strength is left for sane living. SANTA ANA Bareheaded and in the pouring rain the 3-year-old daughter of C. F. Van de Water, a Long Beach business man, was lost for half an hour on Friday. While her father stepped in a store for a few minutes, the child climbed out of the automobile and disappeared. Stephen Townsend of Long Beach and the little girl's mother joined in the anxious search in the rain. Finally word was received that the little girl had been seen at the corner of Eighteenth and Main streets, fourteen blocks from where she disappeared. She was located four blocks further away, at a store. She was bravely going on, looking for her home at Long Beach. Sheriff Ruddock received a photograph of a man being held at Pendleton, Or., on suspicion that he is Cruz Trejo, wanted here for murder. The photo shows that the man is not Trejo.

Address G.B.S., Care of Gazette Office The company wants to make the California representation better than ever before so that the full benefit of this great exhibition may be obtained. We are aware of the wonderful possibilities of the state, but the people of the east are not so thoroughly informed, and the company needs your help in bringing about such a strong effort on the part of all California that the story may be adequately told to all visitors at the land show. Increased population—the end we are all striving for—means increased prosperity and more business for every enterprise in the state. For that reason it behooves all of us to do everything in our power to assist. In a letter to the Gazette Charles S.Fee, Passenger Traffic Manager of the S.P. railway, says: "Will you do your part toward arousing an interest in your community to the end that an exhibit may be gathered for display at the Chicago land show? Let the secretary of your commercial organization,your- JAP FISHERMAN ARRESTED Ton and a Half of Abalone Taken at Laguna Illegally Seven Japanese fishermen were arrested on Tuesday morning at Laguna for taking abalone in violation of the law. The arrests were made by City Marshal Al Hermes of Newport Beach, who went to the spot in a boat from Newport and took with him a couple of Newport Beach fishermen. The Japs had a large flat-bottomed boat from which the men dived for the abalones and then loaded them into a gasoline launch to be taken upcoast. In the launch were about a ton and a half of abalone and these Marshal Hermes took possession of, taking both launch and flat bottomed boat to Newport Beach, where they were put in charge of an officer. The Japs were taken to Santa Ana, and a complaint sworn to by Hermes charging them with violating the fishery laws. The Japs were held for trial in the township court on Nov. 6, and sent to jail in default of $25 ball each. "CLEAN SLATE" HABIT Here's a Good Hint to the World of Girls and Women Are you one of the girls who are given to moping, to looking fearfully into the future, or to lamenting the past? There is no surer cure for these unhappiness breeders than to cultivate the clean slate habit. What is it? Live a day at a time. Start each other joined in the anxious search in the rain. Finally word was received that the little girl had been seen at the corner of Eighteenth and Main streets, fourteen blocks from where she disappeared. She was located four blocks further away, at a store. She was bravely going on, looking for her home at Long Beach. Sheriff Ruddock received a photograph of a man being held at Pendleton, Or., on suspicion that he is Cruz Trejo, wanted here for murder. The photo shows that the man is not Trejo, and Ruddock telegraphed that he be released. A deal is about to be consummated whereby the Southern California sugar company will lease 1000 acres of sugar beet lands from I. M. Von Schriltz. The lease will be for five years. The lands will be planted to beets for the factory. Public Administrator Winbigler has allowed a claim of $312.60 to the county from the estate of Miguel Krashowski, for the care of the man for the three years preceding his death. The estate was valued at $600. ADVERTISING DISPLAY The rapid peopling of California's vacant lands has undoubtedly been in large measure due to the Southern Pacific company's advertising. This year that company is still further pressing the work of encouraging homeseekers to settle here, and wants your help. When the doors of the Chicago land show are opened Nov. 18th, the largest section of floor space allotted to any exhibitor will be in possession of that company. This was the case last year. A considerable amount of space is also to be occupied by various California communities. The railroad's efforts will take the form of stereopticon and motion picture lectures, presenting the resources of this state and the opportunities which California offers. Louis Edson this week sold the west ten acres of his twenty-acre orchard tract on West Broadway to J. Rominger of Long Beach for $20,000. The deal was negotiated by Henry, Holman & Henry. P. C. Wolfe, foreman of the sugar factory, was in town on Tuesday afternoon. Mr. Wolfe states the mill has had a most satisfactory run slicing beets and is now engaged upon the Osmose process of converting molasses into crystallized sugar.
