FREIGHT RATE ADJUSTMENT Report Made to Associated Chambers of Commerce The following report on freight-rate adjustment was made to the associated chambers of commerce at their meeting at Westminster last Wednesday evening: The following cases have been quite recently settled, all bearing on our case: 1. The San Pedro-Los Angeles case was contested but finally settled in favor of the shippers. 2. Press reports as follows gives the status in the Imperial valley case: "San Francisco, May 16, 1912.—A reduction ranging from 15 to 30 per cent in the freight rates charged by the Southern Pacific into and out of the Imperial valley was ordered by the state railroad commission. They must go into effect on or before June 12." 3. Press reports also show the closing of the San Joaquin valley case in the following: "San Francisco, May 27.—The Southern Pacific and Santa Fe railroads filed with the state railroad commission today the amended and lowered freight schedules, in accordance with the commission's decision in the San Joaquin valley case. In so doing the carriers gave evidence of their in- SPRINKLING CART GOES OVERBOARD Baron Fossek Feels It Gently Sinking, and Over She Goes Baron Fossek had rather a novel experience on Monday afternoon shortly after 1 o'clock, when the 600 gallon tank of the city sprinkling-wagon jettisoned its cargo and went overboard on East Chartres street near Hermine. Fossek was through with his eight-hour day, having began sprinkling at 5 o'clock. He filled the tank before going home, in order to get a flying start on the morrow. As he pulled out from under the water spout he felt his wagon gently sagging to one side. Not knowing what was up, and being unable to prevent it, he sank gradually with the outfit, until splash, the tank fell over amid ships, and 7000 pounds of water flowed out upon the thoroughfare. Fossek procured assistance, and took the tank to Stadtegger's blacksmith shop, where it was repaired, the job taking until 8 o'clock. The next morning Fossek was again on the water wagon as if nothing had happened. MULTER HAS KINDWORDS Cashier of Sugar Factory Makes Pleasant Observations That L. H.

H. Multer, cashier of the Anaheim sugar factory, entertains views concerning Anaheim different from those expressed by the fictitious "William Multer," as recently published in these columns from the Newark, N. Y., Courier, is evidenced by the following mention of this city by him in the Lyons, N. Y., Press of date May 29: "Mrs. L. H. Multer and family are looking forward to removing to California with pleasant anticipations. Mr. Multer's letters give assurance of healthful climate and beautiful environment. He says it is the place for his boys to progress in health and business." Mr. Multer and other officials of the sugar company are hot on the trail of the fictitious person who sailed this community in the Newark paper, and interesting things are looked for in the near future. LOS ALAMITOS Mrs. Jane E. Cresse passed away Saturday, June 1, causing sorrow to the whole community, being one of the oldest and best beloved of our residents. The funeral was held at the Congregational Church Monday at 10 a.m., conducted by Rev. F. D. Ashleigh of Garden Grove, pastor of the Methodist Church, of which she was a member. She was a native of Trenton, N. J., was married in Illinois to A. B. Cresse, in 1862, later moving to Kansas; thence to California in the year of 1894, locating in Los Alamitos 16 years ago, living there continually until death separated them—but only, however, for a few months—Mr. Cresse's death occurring the latter part of last October. Had he have lived until the 12th of May, it would have been their fifteenth wedding anniversary. Two daughters and one son survive them, Mrs. F. L. Fisher of Los Angeles, Mrs. Elmer Hooker and Arbuth Cresse of Los Alamitos. LOWER COST OF TEXTBOOKS Action has been taken by the state board of education which will affect every school child in California when a new schedule of prices was adopted for state series text books, each this work be done at once. Then as soon thereafter as possible the carriers be requested to:— 1. Reduce all freight rates in and out of Orange county and between points in the county, to a fair basis is to be stated. 2. That all points in Orange county be given terminal rates on all interstate hauls. 3. That all points in Orange county be given terminal rates on all interstate hauls. In this latter case, if necessary, the state railroad commission be asked to intercede for us before the interstate commerce commission. Below Cost Indestructible Cylinder Records.

Helmsen LOWER COST OF TEXTBOOKS Action has been taken by the state board of education which will affect every school child in California when a new schedule of prices was adopted for state series text books, each one of which will cost from 2 to 13 cents less after July 1st, the beginning of the fiscal year, than they have during past years. State Printer Friend W. Richardson, on motion of President Benjamin Ide Wheeler of the State University, was congratulated upon his successful work in reducing prices. The average reduction to school children in the new prices of books is 15 per cent, while the average reduction in the manufacturing cost of the books, brought about by scientific management in the state printery, is 25 per cent. The difference is made up by the arbitrary charges in royalties to the book publishing companies and postage on the books when sent to the retail dealers. "REMEMBER, GIRLS" A flippant girl is the pet aversion of men; a witty one their delight. To have a pedigree is good, but a personality is better. A "Greek god" invariably demands a pedestal. Better wed a man. Love can not survive long in a torrid atmosphere. Be more eager to demonstrate your red than your blue blood. Men rarely marry tragedy queens. So be merry of heart and mein.

READER: Are you one of the number who, having faith in the productiveness of the Placentia District, and confidence in loyalty of Placentia district's residents, foresaw the town's future and were wise enough to make an early lot selection? If you were one to grasp that early opportunity we wish simply to extend our congratulations, for we are both aware of the handsome profit which you have either already taken or which has accrued to your property. But Mr. Reader, should you not, for some reason, have availed yourself of the perfectly safe investment and sure speculation there offered, we wish to impress on you the necessity to act promptly ere its too late and you have nothing but regrets with which to console yourself. Do you realize that there was a logical reason for Placentia Town? And just as surely as a town has developed a city will ultimately take its stand. Placentia is essential to a very large agricultural district, than which there is no more thickly settled or prosperous in California.

Cook and wife of the east side were in town on Tuesday evening, Mrs. Cook having returned from Los Angeles where she spent the day. Mr. Cook has twelve acres of two-year-old Valencias a mile and a half east of town which he says will compare with the best in the county. Two years ago he purchased the land at $6700. At present he holds it at $16,000. He has made many improvements, which include, beside setting out a Valencia orchard, the erection of a handsome bungalow. His place is not on the market, and he says if anyone came along and offered him $16,000 for the place, he would consider long before parting with it.
