DEMAND DOLLAR GAS IN JOINT CONFERENCE ORANGE, FULLERTON AND ANAHEIM TRUSTEES TAKE A DECISIVE STEP City Attorneys Ames, Brown and Marks Appointed a Committee to Investigate the Gas Situation and Draft an Ordinance Fixing Price and Quality at Meeting at City Hall Thursday Night—Will Report at Meeting on Call of Chairman The unsatisfactory situation in the gas service in northern Orange county, owing to the exorbitant rates of the Southern Counties Gas Company which now has a monopoly of the business of furnishing gas to Santa Ana, Orange, Anaheim and Fullerton, was discussed at a joint meeting of representatives of the city governments of Orange, Fullerton and Anaheim at the City Hall Thursday night. All the Anaheim Trustees and City Attorney Ames were present, and those present from Orange were Adolph Dittmer, president of the Board, Trustee Emil Tiste, City Attorney W. M. Brown and City Clerkduce their evidence and show exactly what it costs to manufacture gas. Then a rate can be fixed in accordance with their figures." The ubiquitous hobo also came under discussion. This is getting to be a serious question in Southern California. The Santa Ana jail is always overcrowded and the city jails are overflowing. Neither of the three city jails is large enough to hold the convicted vagrants and the police authorities are up against it. It was suggested that the three cities build a large stockade and keep an ample supply of rock and wood in it. This move would be effective as the hobo will steer clear of any place where he knows work is awaiting him. No action was taken on that proposition. The Boards will meet again at the call of Chairman Dittmer as soon as the committee is ready to submit the ordinance. SANTA FE ENLARGING DEPOT Building is Also Being Raised and Overhauled Constantly increasing traffic has made it necessary for the Santa Fe company to enlarge the capacity of its depot in Anaheim, and a force of men is now engaged on the work. A forty-foot extension is being added to the baggage room on the south, and the the business of furnishing gas to Santa Ana, Orange, Anaheim and Fullerton, was discussed at a joint meeting of representatives of the city governments of Orange, Fullerton and Anaheim at the City Hall Thursday night. All the Anaheim Trustees and City Attorney Ames were present, and those present from Orange were Adolph Dittmer, president of the Board, Trustee Emil Tiste, City Attorney W. M. Brown and City Clerk C. W. Holman. Fullerton was represented by E. R. Amerige, president of the Board and Trustees G. C. Weeton and R. S. Gregory. City Attorney Ames called the meeting to order and called for nominations for chairman. On motion of Mr. Rust, Adolph Dittmer of Orange was unanimously chosen chairman, and Homer Ames was chosen secretary. On taking his seat Chairman Dittmer said that this proposition of demanding dollar gas originated with Orange. The city council of that town has already drafted an ordinance fixing the maximum rate at one dollar, but the gas company has entered a protest, claiming it will lose money at that rate. "If they can furnish gas to Santa Ana at one dollar" said he, "they should be able to give it to the other three towns at the same rate." He suggested that it might be profitable for the three municipalities to form a co-partnership and develop the natural gas resources in the adjacent hills. Messrs. Nebelung and Stock both favored the idea of forming an association and utilizing the gas now going to waste within easy reaching distance. E. R. Amerige thought that gas could be brought from the hills to the three cities at a very nominal cost. The pipe line would be the principal item of expense. He believed that the consumers were now paying for considerable wind when settling their gas bills. "I don't think" said Chairman Dittmer, 'that these three thriving cities should lie down and tamely submit to the dictation of this gas company. The service is unsatisfactory both as to pressure and quality, and the rates exorbitant. Nobody wants to pay for inferior gas but under the present conditions we are getting it." Mr. Dittmer suggested that the three city attorneys be appointed as a committee to draft an ordinance embodying the 'emands of the consumer and guiding all the points under ordinance. SANTA FE ENLARGING DEPOT Building is Also Being Raised and Overhauled Constantly increasing traffic has made it necessary for the Santa Fe company to enlarge the capacity of its depot in Anaheim, and a force of men is now engaged on the work. A forty-foot extension is being added to the baggage room on the south, and the platform will be extended beyond that. In addition to this the old building is being overhauled and repaired. The entire building will be raised eight inches and a new foundation put under it. The floors will be relaid, all the decayed portions replaced, and when completed it will present the ap pearance of a new building. NEXT YEAR'S BEET CROP WILL BRING $2,500,000 GROWERS ARE SIGNING UP AT INCREASED PRICES Anaheim Factory Signs 9600 Acres and Will Go Above 10,000 Mark—Expects to Slice 180,000 Tons Next Season, and Will Shortly Install New Machinery for Increasing Capacity—Half Million Tons of Beets To Be Raised in Valley This Season. The Anaheim sugar factory has signed 9600 acres of beets for next year and will probably go over 10,000 acres before planting begins next spring. This year the factory sliced beets from 5600 acres. Acreage next year will be practically double that of this season. The factory will probably begin a month earlier, and will continue a month later in the fall. The mill could have had two months additional run this year, as fall weather was propitious, yet the management deemed it the part of wisdom to have a shorter season the first year. Growers of beets are so uniformly satisfied with treatment accorded them that out of more than 175 everyone with but a single exception has signed up for the coming season. In addition many new tracts have been signed, and probably a number of others will be added to the total before planting begins. Growers will be paid $5.25 per ton for beets of 15 per cent with 30 cents for each additional per cent of "I don't think said Chairman Dittmer, 'that these three thriving cities should lie down and tamely submit to the dictation of this gas company. The service is unsatisfactory both as to pressure and quality, and the rates exorbitant. Nobody wants to pay for inferior gas but under the present conditions we are getting it.' Mr. Dittmer suggested that the three city attorneys be appointed as a committee to draft an ordinance embodying the 'emands of the consumers and covering all the points under discussion. The suggestion met with universal approval, and Amerige made a motion to the effect that Messrs Ames, of Anaheim, Brown, of Orange, and Marks, of Fullerton, should act in conjunction, draft an ordinance fixing the rate to be charged, also the quality of the gas. The motion carried and the attorneys will meet at an early day and make a thorough investigation of the question. They will then prepare an ordinance which will be presented to their respective city governments for action. On its side of the question the gas company is claiming that it cannot manufacture gas at one dollar without a loss. On this point the chairman said the committee would investigate the dollar rate at Santa Ana and if it was found the company was losing money in that city the rate in the ordinance should be fixed at a figure that would give the corporation a reasonable profit. If it is making a profit in Santa Ana on dollar gas it can do the same in Anaheim, Orange and Fullerton. "If their claim is just," said Amerige "they can carry the matter into court and defeat the ordinance. We have no power to enact a confiscatory ordinance and they can pro- Growers will be paid $5.25 per ton for beets of 15 per cent with 30 cents for each additional per cent of sugar. This is an increase of 75 cents per ton over prices paid last year, and will result in adding to the income by $75,000. The increased price paid beet growers throughout Orange county and the beet strip across the line in Los Angeles county next year is estimated at $225,000. The total amount to be paid for the crop next year will be upward of two and one-half million dollars. Growers who have signed up with the Anaheim factory are members of the growers' association, who some months ago asked increase in prices paid them, yet they signed before their association had been finally organized being given a promise by the factory that the highest price paid by any factory would be given them. Next year five sugar mills will be operated in Orange county at the following points: Anaheim, Los Alamitos, Huntington Beach and two at Santa Ana. Probably a half million tons of beets will be sliced, and the quality of sugar produced will exceed $5,000,000. The Anaheim factory is still manufacturing brown sugar. The mill will have a run of four weeks more, when machinery will be installed for increasing its capacity." ANAHEIM, CALIFORNIA, THURSDAY, DECEMBER. 28 1911 THE DREYFUS WINERY BOUGHT BY LOCAL MEN JOHN WALLS AND JOHN COOK ARE THE NEW PROPRIETORS. After More Than Twenty Years Vacancy the Big Building Will Be Occupied—New Owners Have Had Two or Three Offers for the Building, but Are Reticent About Its Future Occupancy—Two Thousand Dollars Being Spent on Repairs The big Dreyfus Winery building, one and one-fourth miles southwest of Anaheim, which has been vacant since 1889, save for the bats and owls that have used it for a rendezvous or a roosting place, is finally to be trans formed into a place of industry, or, at least usefulness. The building and the eight and one-half acres of land which goes with it, was purchased last week by Messrs. John Walls and John Cook, and will be put into shape for occupancy as speedily as possible. This building was erected in 1887 by B. Dreyfus, who purchased a tract of land, 180 acres in extent, with the expectation of transforming his land into a fertile vineyard and making his building a flourishing winery. The brick work was done by C. Schindler. let Tempke go on his own recognizance. Timpke, however, refused to leave the court room and announced to those whom it might concern that since he had been brought there against his will he would stay until they took him home again. Justice Cox solved the difficulty by withdrawing the first bond and making it twenty-five dollars, and handing Timpke over to the custody of the sheriff until the security was in sight. Timpke didn’t have the cash and so went to jail. RECORD PRICE FOR VALENCIAS All records were broken in Valencias, when the world’s highest mark $17.25 per box, was obtained in New York the other day for some strictly fancy fruit. This price was paid by Hick & Son, fruit buyers of 1179 Broadway. The nearest approach to these figures was $14.35, which the same brand sold go in 1905. C. C. Chapman, owner of the fruit was present at the sale and was interrogated by many buyers and dealers regarding the manner in which he prepares and markets his fruit. “There is one thing that I never do” he remarked, “and that is to interfere with the marketing end of my oranges. I give the dealers carte.” NEW WELL KITES WATERMEN’S SHARES THIRD PRODUCER CAUSES MANY WILD REPORTS Flowed 2000 Barrels on Saturday Afternoon, Settled to 600—Unfounded Report That It Was Spouting 10,000 Barrels—Christmas Gift to Irrigators Means Fortune—$100 Bid for Stock, None Offered—Price Will Probably Go to $200 Soon Well No. 4 of the Amalgamated Oil Company on the La Habra reservoir site was brought in last week at a depth of 3300 feet, and on Saturday afternoon flowed at a rate of 2000 barrels daily. It later settled down to 600 barrels, at which rate it continues this week. Many rumors spread quickly regarding the well, some having it that it was spouting at a rate of 10,000 barrels. Superintendent Porter of the Water Company set these rumors at rest in the evening by the report that the wei was producing 600 barrels. This is the third producing well brought in by the Amalgamated. It has two strings of tools down, one of them being in oil sand. Two new formed into a place of industry, or at least usefulness. The building and the eight and one-half acres of land which goes with it, was purchased last week by Messrs. John Walls and John Cook, and will be put into shape for occupancy as speedily as possible. This building was erected in 1887 by B. Dreyfus, who purchased a tract of land, 180 acres in extent, with the expectation of transforming his land into a fertile vineyard and making his building a flourishing winery. The brick work was done by C. Schindler, and W. H. Dripps, of Santa Ana, secured the contract for the carpenter work. It was probably the most substantial building in Orange county, at that time. The walls are 14 inches thick, it is three stories in height, and the inside measurement of the main building is 80x200 feet. It rests on 78 pillars, sunk five feet below the surface, with a 24-inch granite block on top of each pillar. There are one thousand brick in each pillar, making 78,000 brick in the foundation alone, sufficient to build a good-sized residence. The total cost of the building was $42,000. There is another substantial brick building, 36x64 feet in size, one hundred feet west of the main building, which was built for an engine room. This, with a couple of other small buildings, will be removed, as it is the intention of the new proprietors to set the ground to oranges. A spur switch, 600 feet in length, runs from the Southern Pacific track, at a juncture near 'the brewery,' to the winery. This has been kept in good condition, and is capable of bearing trains without repairs. The work of overhauling the building and making it habitable has already commenced and will cost about $2000. The old roof will be replaced by a corrugated iron one, and it is probable that a cement floor will be laid in the basement story. This will depend on the character of the business which will occupy it. Just what it will be used for is not known, or not made public at the present time. The new proprietors have already received two or three offers for it, but it is probable they have something up their sleeves that they are not making public at present. What they paid for it is also a secret, but it was undoubtedly secured at a bargain, as the building has been unoccupied for more than twenty years, and but for its substantial architecture would have been a ruin long ago. The blight which ruined the grape crop in 1890 put an end to Mr. Hick & Son, fruit buyers of 1179 Broadway. The nearest approach to these figures was $14.35, which the same brand sold for in 1905. C. C. Chapman, owner of the fruit was present at the sale and was interrogated by many buyers and dealers regarding the manner in which he prepares and markets his fruit. "There is one thing that I never do" he remarked, "and that is to interfere with the marketing end of my oranges. I give the dealers carte blanche to dispose of them as they see fit. I do my best in the grading and packing and it is up to the sellers to get the best price for them." DEATH OF ALOIS ARNOLD Old-Time Resident Dies Suddenly of Apoplexy Alois Arnold, and old and highly respected resident of this city, died at his home on West Center street at 8:30 o'clock on Wednesday morning of last week. He succumbed to a stroke of apoplexy, sustained the previous day, and remained in a state of coma until the end. He was in town on Monday in apparent good health, and conversed with many of his friends. He returned home in the evening and resumed complaining of a headache. He remained in bed the following day, but it was not until the afternoon that dangerous symptoms developed, and a physician was hastily summoned. He angered in semi-unconsciousness until the next morning, when he passed away. He was a native of Alsace, and was aged 77 years and 11 months. Funeral services were held on Friday morning from St. Boniface church, of which deceased had been a member. Rev. Father Dubbel conducted the services. The church was filled with friends of deceased, and the casket was covered with flowers and floral emblems. The pallbearers were A. Hessel, John Cassou Jacob Witmer, R. Wisser, Charles Dussourt and Geo. Zeigler. Members of the Concordia to the number of 40 marched to the church and accompanied the funeral cortege to the cemetery. At the grave the society sang "He Sleeps Well." The remains were laid to rest by the side of the bodies of his wife and daughter, who passed away some years ago. Deceased had resided in this city eighteen years, and numbered his friends on all sides. He was a member of the Knights of Columbus and 600 barrels, at which rate it continues this week. Many rumors spread quickly regarding the well, some having it that it was spouting at a rate of 10-,000 barrels. Superintendent Porter of the Water Company set these rumors at rest in the evening by the report that the wei was producing 600 barrels. This is the third producing well brought in by the Amalgamated. It has two strings of tools down, one of them being in oil sand. Two new rigs will be immediately started on the 400-acre tract. The water board was in session on Saturday afternoon and heard reports from the well. At one time it was flowing 2000 barrels. The water company gets one-eighth royalty of the oil produced. As a result of the oil development shares in the Water Company are practically out of market. $100 being bid, with none offered. On the street prediction are made that the price will reach $200 in the near future, with upward tendency. C. C. Chapman is the largest holder of water stock, owning more than 400 shares. Ten years ago water stock sold at $6 per share. NEW VOTING PRECINCTS Increased Number of Electors Make Them Necessary Fifteen new voting precincts were created by the board of supervisors on Friday. The number of precincts in Orange county is now fifty-nine. As the size of the vote that will be cast by the women is problematical, the Supervisors are making the division that seems best, but may have to make further divisions a year from now. None of the Santa Ana precincts which were increased from five to ten about a year ago, w'll be divided. Fullerton will have three instead of two; Orange, six instead of two; Anaheim, four instead of two; Tustin and Garden Grove, two each, instead of one each. Olinda will be made into two precincts to be known as Ollinda and Brea; El Modena, into two, to be El Modena and McPherson; Olive, into two, to be Olive and Villa Park; Newport, into two, to be Newport and Harper; Westminster, into two, to be Westminster and Wintersburg; West Anaheim, into two, to be West Anaheim and East Anaheim.

What they paid for it is also a secret, but it was undoubtedly secured at a bargain, as the building has been unoccupied for more than twenty years, and but for its substantial architecture would have been a ruin long ago. The blight which ruined the grape crop in 1890 put an end to Mr. Dreyfus' expectations, and he was closed up. The property was acquired by the California Wine Association of San Francisco, and from this company Messrs. Walls and Cook purchased it. The foundation and walls are capable of sustaining two more stories, which will be utilized in case it is used for a business necessitating enlargement. BROKE INTO JAIL Man from Anaheim Holds the Record It isn't often a man really breaks into jail, but that feat was accomplished recently by Charles Timpke, of Anaheim, who refused to leave Justice of the Peace Cox's court room after he had been ordered to go on his recognizances after the hearing of a complaint against him for disturbing the peace. Timpke is an eccentric German, with possibly a few screws out of place in his head. A complaint charging disturbance of the peace was sworn to against him by W. J. Hildebrand, of Anaheim, and the court, believing, evidently, that very little, if anything, would come of it, placed Timpke under one hundred dollars' bond and didn't ask that the security be put up, the idea being to Members of the Concordia to the number of 40 marched to the church and accompanied the funeral cortege to the cemetery. At the grave the society sang "He Sleeps Well." The remains were laid to rest by the side of the bodies of his wife and daughter, who passed away some years ago. Deceased had resided in this city eighteen years, and numbered his friends on all sides. He was a member of the Knights of Columbus and of the Concordia society. For many years he conducted a cigar manufacture on West Center street, and the excellence of his cigars brought him a wide reputation throughout Southern California. He was a familiar figure upon the streets, and to meet him was to enjoy an interview with one who had not an enemy and had naught but good words for all. His friends will miss his warm handshake and genial companionship. He leaves a son, Frank Arnold, and two daughters Misses Catherine and Elizabeth Arnold. They have the sympathy of the entire community in their loss. BUSY TIMES AT POSTOFFICE Christmas Mall Keeps Force on the Jump Never before in the history of the Anaheim postoffice has there been such a rush of business as has been experienced during the past ten days. Both incoming and outgoing mails have been so heavy as to tax the capacity of the force of employees at Uncle Sam's headquarters to the utmost, although extra help was allowed and extra time was put in, Postmaster Duckworth was able to keep the work up in fine shade. ENJOYABLE FAMILY REUNION Zeus Boys Here from North to Spend Christmas An enjoyable family reunion is in progress this week at the residence of Mrs. C. Zeus, her three sons, Edward, Otto and Carl, being here from the north to spend the holidays. It has been a number of years since the family were all together. Edward, who was first to arrive, is in the printing business in Berkeley and is rapidly amassing a large wad of dinero. Carl is in the real estate business and has several large deals ready to pop loose. Otto travels for a large firm and is making good. The boys will spend the holidays here after w,hich they w' return to their homes in the northern citrus belt. GOOD WORK ON HIGH SCHOOL Administration Building Will Soon Be Ready for the Brick The beautiful administration building, the main structure of the High School group, is rapidly assuming its finished proportions under the skillful hands of the thirty builders who have been engaged upon it. The framework will probably be completed so the masons can be laying the brick veneer next week.

WALNUTS BRING $1,250,000 Season's Output Best in History of County The Orange county walnut crop this year will be worth approximately $1,250,000. Of this amount the greater part has already been received by the growers. Walnuts this year have been a veritable gold mine to the growers. They have not only had an exceptionally large crop, but the prices for the most part have been the best. The Santa Ana Valley Walnut Growers' Association has already turned $225,000 over to the growers and it expects to pay over $75,000 more in a short time. One of the four independent shippers has turned over more than $250,000 to the growers. FEARED LYNCHING OF CHINESE LABORERS TWELVE MONGOLIANS IN PLACENTIA PACKING HOUSE THREATENED Discharged White Employees Tack Circular to Door Ordering Their Departure on Pain of Violence—Deputy Sheriff Schumacher Goes to Protect Them and Is Greeted with a Shower of Bullets from Excited Celestials—Five Men Are Arrested Prompt action on the part of Sheriff Ruddock and Deputy Ollie Schumacher of Placentia, on Monday night prevented what, for a time threatened to develop into a lynching bee. Twelve Chinese laborers employed at the Randolph Packing plant at that point, were objects of an attackshr point, were objects of an attack planned by a number of white men, some of whom had been employed at the packing house. The white men became dissatisfied on Saturday and quit work. The company sent to Los Angeles for a dozen Chinese, who reported for duty and went to work Monday morning. When Clarence McFadden who was, shipping his fruit from the packing house went to the YOUNG JOTHAM BIXBY IN TRIPLE COLLISION SPRIG OF GENTILITY IN WILD AUTO RIDE Dashes into Machines Waiting at the Depot for Evening Train, Later Arrested for Drunkenness, Taken to Jail, Released on $25 Ball—Ordered Out of Town, Returns—One of His Party Locks for Fight and Gets It A wrecked auto belonging to John Resh, another put out of commission owned by George Terry, and his own car badly damaged in a triple collision, was the net result of a wild ride by Jotham Bixby of Long Beach while in town on Thursday evening. Two hours later Bixby was placed under arrest by Officer Germann, and charged with drunkenness and disorderly conduct. Bixby had been in town during the afternoon engaged in a drinking bout. With him were two companions. One of them had two wolf hounds said to be the property of Wolgast, the prize fighter. Bixby was on his way from Long Beach to his ranch at Olive. He became uproariously drunk, and he and his companions engaged in rowdy talk at several places about town. Shortly after 6 o'clock he set out for Olive and at the Santa Fe depot collided with the Resh and Terry cars, which were standing at the curb awaiting return of their owners on the evening train. The Resh car was demolished, the engine being wrenched from its fastenings and set in the rear of the machine. Other parts of the car were broken and wood work splintered. The three cars had to be taken to garages for repairs.

When Clarence McFadden who was, shipping his fruit from the packing house, went to the building on Monday afternoon at half past four o'clock he found the following placard, crudely written in penil upon a note head, tacked to the front door. We, the people of Placentia, notify you people to leave town by the 25th of this month or there will be further steps taken, that will be of an unpleasant nature. VIGILANCE COMMITTEE. "Take due warning and govern yourself accordingly." McFadden tore down the placard and telephoned Schumacher, who immediately repaired thither. In the packing house were Clarence and his brother Ralph McFadden, who were guarding the Chinese, many of whom were armed with revolvers. Schumacher remained until 7:30, when there being no evidence of an outbreak he returned to his home. At 9:30 o'clock Sheriff Ruddock telephoned Schumacher saying that he had received information from Los Angeles that an attempt would be made to lynch the Chinese, and requesting him to repair to the packing house immediately and inform him of the state of affairs. When Schumacher arrived at the plant the McFadden boys had gone home, and the excited Chinamen refused to permit him to enter. He called to them, telling them who he was, and saying he had come there to protect them. As he tried to open the door a volley of six pistol shots was fired at him from the Celestials within. The bullets flew about his head, and he narrowly escaped being hit. He called to them to stop shooting saying he was an officer and that he was armed and was there to protect them. They refused to permit him to enter, and several other shots were fired through the door. Schumacher remained at the plant until after midnight. The whites had meanwhile disappeared. There appearing to be no further danger of an outbreak Schumacher returned home. FAMILY REUNION from North to Spend Christmas. The family reunion is in week at the residence of her three sons, Edward Carl, being here from spend the holidays.

The Resh car was demolished, the engine being wrenched from its fastenings and set in the rear of the machine. Other parts of the car were broken and wood work splintered. The three cars had to be taken to garages for repairs. Bixby returned to town and continued drinking. He had been warned by officers to leave town, but refused to do so. At 8:30 o'clock he was placed under arrest by Germann as he was creating a disturbance on West Center street. He showed fight, and was thrown upon the pavement. Germann applied his manacles, when Bixby announced his intention of going to jail peaceably. He was bailed out by a friend, who went good his bond for $25. Bixby was ordered out of town. Hiring another auto; he started for the beach, but later returned. The man with Wolgast's dogs was looking for a fight. Shortly before midnight he was accommodated by a west side farmer who has only one arm. The young sprig of gentility is said to have been severely punished. Marshal Kellenberger at this point appeared and ordered Bixby and his friends out of town, on pain of being locked up with a bunch of hobos in the city jail. Bixby pulled out for the sea breezes shortly after midnight. Bixby's car struck the Resh machine with such force that the latter was knocked entirely across the street and up on the curb. It was badly wrecked, and reports have it that it will cost $1000 to repair it.
