Mr. Neff left on Monday for Colton, where he began a series of farmers' institutes in the upper valley this week. Next Monday he goes to the Imperial Valley for a week's series of meetings. George Eastland suffered a very painful injury at the Grimshaw planning mill on Friday of last week, by having the forefinger of his right hand taken off by coming in contact with a rapidly revolving saw. Mr. and Mrs. John Hahn expect shortly to move into their handsome new residence on Melrose street, which is nearing completion. The edifice costs $2500 and is one of the finest in its section of the city. J. W. Sackett's new $3000 residence in the west part of town is rapidly nearing completion and will soon be ready for occupancy. It is a thoroughly modern structure and will be one of the most handsome residences in that part of town. Frank Reeves, formerly proprietor of the Star Theater, but now of Los Angeles, was here Friday. He is handling a new make of washing machine and is said to be rolling up the rocks at a rapid rate. He is associated with his brother, James Reeves. Mrs. Welborn Wallop entertained the "Four-Fours" club on Wednesday evening last.

Manning, resident of Pawnee county, Oklahoma, son of a wealthy stock raiser, was arrested at Fullerton by Deputy Sheriff Sam Jernigan and Constable Squires on information from his home county charging him with a serious criminal offense. Manning was taken to the county jail where he will remain until a representative of the Oklahoma authorities come for him. He arrived in Fullerton about three weeks ago and secured employment with the Home Telephone Company at construction work, and worked steadily ever since. When arrested he readily admitted his identity and said he would return to Oklahoma without the formality of extradition proceedings. He appeared fully acquainted with the charge against him and said it is a frame-up in the nature of a black-mailing scheme. The local officers did a very neat piece of work in effecting his arrest as they had no description of him and only had the information that he was supposed to be in Fullerton. JAPS TAKING ABALONES Shellfish May Become Extinct Unless Protected. That drastic measures are necessary to insure the perpetuation of abalones in Southern California waters, was brought to the attention of the Los Angeles board of supervisors last week when John E. Stearns, vice-president of the Catalina Tuna Club, submitted a petition seeking an ordinance to regulate fishing for the shell fish. Stearns pointed out that Japanese fishermen had almost exterminated the abalones around San Clemente, since the five-year prohibition period expired September 15. Many tons of them are taken from the water each day by the Japanese, who can the meat and ship it to Japan for distribution, also making commercial use of the shells. Stearns said the foreigners threaten to extend their operations into the Catalina district. He suggested that the board pass an ordinance limiting the daily catch to fifty pounds for each fisherman. While in Europe Mr. Barnicott made investigations for the purpose of ascertaining the prospects for marketing California fruit and other California products. This is what he said in discussing the subject in the interview cited above: "English fruit growers do not pack nor standardize their fruit. They send it to the market in baskets, large and small, good and inferior fruit mixed. The dealers are obliged to assort the fruit themselves, and thereby add to its cost after reaching market. Dealers with whom I talked told me they it possible to get fruit to them in better condition and at possibly better rates." A was served by the hostess at the conclusion of which the usual game of whist was played. The prizes consisting of spoons were won by Mrs. Fred Backs Jr., and Arthur Lewis. Mrs. Yungbluth will entertain at the next meeting. Roadmaster Steadman has made extensive repairs to the Olive bridge, including the placing of 100 stringers supporting the superstructure. Several days ago a well-boring outfit passed over the bridge, breaking a number of old stringers, and it was decided to replace these and many more. The bridge is now in better condition than for years, but Mr. Steadman states it is only a matter of time when the aged structure must be replaced by a new bridge. H. Deutsch was in town from Los Angeles on Saturday looking after his large property interests here. Mr. Deutsch became possessed of a large tract of land in this city during boom times, and while with the subsidence of inflated values following that speculative period prices declined, he steadfastly held to his property, until at the present time its values far exceed those of the years that have past. He considers Anaheim the best town of its size in Southern California, and praises the day when he first decided to invest here. LAYING OUT A ROAD County Surveyor J. L. McBride and Forest Ranger J. B. Stephenson, made an inspection of the rough bottom of Seviers Canyon Tuesday. They went from San Juan Hot Springs and a party of Riverside County officials met them from the Elsinore side of the range. The object of the trip is since the five-year prohibition period expired September 15. Many tons of them are taken from the water each day by the Japanese, who can the meat and ship it to Japan for distribution, also making commercial use of the shells. Stearns said the foreigners threaten to extend their operations into the Catalina district. He suggested that the board pass an ordinance limiting the daily catch to fifty pounds for each fisherman. CANAL AND OUR FRUITS How Isthmian Waterway Will Aid California Growers. California fruits have a splendid future abroad, according to Field Manager Barnicott, of the California Fruit Exchange, who has just returned from a six months' visit to Europe. "The completion of the Panama Canal," declared Mr. Barnicott, in an interview recently published in the Fruit Trade Journal, "will mean much to California, because fruit will be shipped to New York direct in from fourteen to sixteen days, under the most favorable conditions. It will, I believe, also mean much to the California fruit industry in opening up a larger trade for this state's product in England." "Fast steamers will be put on the run, there will be no delays, the refrigeration will be better, there will be little jarring, and all the fruit will reach the markets of the East and also Europe in far better condition than it does now by being shipped by train. I fully believe that the opening of the canal will be the greatest thing in the history of California, because it will mean the greatest development. It will extend the markets by making certainting the prospects for marketing California fruit and other California products. This is what he said in discussing the subject in the interview cited above: "English fruit growers do not pack nor standardize their fruit. They send it to the market in baskets, large and small, good and inferior fruit mixed. The dealers are obliged to assort the fruit themselves, and thereby add to its cost after reaching market. Dealers with whom I talked told me they preferred California fruit to the English fruit for the reason that the pack was convenient, the fruit was graded to standard, and it was consequently more attractive, bringing better prices and selling much more quickly. "California fruit is always welcome in the London markets. It sells readily and the price is good. There is no fruit in the world that has a better reputation, and the only fruit that looks better or compares with it at all is the hothouse fruit raised in England—and the price for that is all out of proportion. "California canned fruit, especially the Bartlett pears, is eagerly sought in London. If a better means of transportation from New York to London were possible at this time, California fruit would have a greater sale. Some of the fruit reaches the market in poor condition. This, I believe, will not be the case after the Panama Canal is opened. "California fruit is sold on its merit. In London it depends upon the merit the same as it does in New York or Chicago. Standardization is the secret of success in the fruit business. If our growers would only thoroughly standardize their fruits, Thursday, December 14 Christmas Gifts For Men Men's Holiday Ties Men's Fancy Hose Linen and Silk Initial Handkerchiefs Fancy Arm Bands and Garters Cuff Buttons and Pins Belts and Purses Cluett and E. & W.
