Entered at the Anaheim Postoffice as second-class matter. GOODWIN MAKING FRIENDS William A. Goodwin of Orange-thorpe precinct, candidate for the Republican nomination for supervisor in this district, has been making a thorough canvass of the district, and declares that his chances of winning the nomination are most excellent. Mr. Goodwin holds that nomination in this instance is equivalent to election, because of the overwhelming Republican majority. His ranch lies just north of the bridge between this city and Fullerton and the nearness of his residence to this city, makes him almost one of the city's population. He has large interests in his section and is frequently seen upon our streets, doing business with local merchants. He has many staunch supporters in town, as well as in other parts of the district and his candidacy has so far progressed that they look upon the result with assurance of undoubted success. Mr. Goodwin has been a resident of Orange county for 32 years, has voted the ticket straight since attaining his majority and goes before the voters as a consistent and progressive party worker, who's voice has ever been raised in behalf of success of his party's nominee. He has made a success of his own private business interests, and as supervisor will doubtless fill the duties of the office with honor to himself and credit to the people of the district. He knows good roads when he sees them, and he also knows that while roads in other portions of the district have been well kept and well improved, many of them in the southern portion of the district can hardly CITRUS PROTECTION LEAGUE Secretary Powell Makes Report of Operations to July 31 A report covering the work of the Citrus Protective League for the seven months ending July 31, 1912, has been completed by G. Harold Powell, secretary and manager of the league, for the use of the administrative committee, and includes data on the cost of producing citrus fruits, frost protection, citrus by-products, history of the lemon rate case, the Northwest lemon rate case, the Spokane lemon rate case and the misbranding of varieties. Mr. Powell, in arriving at an average for the cost of producing citrus fruits, includes 271 ranches containing 8095.9 acres and shows the cost of labor, irrigation, superintendence, etc., to be $136.06 per acre. The data also includes the average annual yield of oranges per acre in packed boxes from 1906-7 to 1910-11 on about 2,000 groves, covering from 16,000 to 20,000 acres per year. The average yield for the five-year period is 157.6 packed boxes per acre, making an annual average cultural cost of producing the fruit in the field of 86.33 cents per packed box. Average Cost of Handling The average cost of handling 4,186,983 boxes of oranges from the tree to the car in 1910-11 was: Picking, 7.71 cents; hauling, 2.87 cents; packing, 32.46 cents, a total of 43.04 cents. The summary of the cost of producing oranges in California, including transportation and marketing charges are as follows: Cultural cost, per box.....8 .8633 Picking, handling and packing..4304 Total .....$1.2937 Cost of freight.....828 Average cost of refrigeration....0789 Average cost of selling.....070 Total .....9769 Grand total .....$2.2706 Much interest has been shown by the league in the past six months rela- BUMPER ORANGE Largest in the H Industry In So Bumper citrus is the largest ever gating 50,000 car mate value, delivers kets of nearly $4 million announced in 1913.

He has made a success of his own private business interests, and as supervisor will doubtless fill the duties of the office with honor to himself and credit to the people of the district. He knows good roads when he sees them, and he also knows that while roads in other portions of the district have been well kept and well improved, many of them in the southern portion of the district can hardly be said to be first-class thoroughfares. More money and more labor are needed upon them, and this it will be in the province of the supervisor to provide. The Olive and Yorba bridges should be taken care of. These old structures should be replaced by new and substantial bridges, for travel over them has increased to such an extent that they are now two of the most important bridges in the county. Mr. Goodwin will, if elected supervisor, see to it that roads in all parts of the district are thoroughly improved and repaired, to the end that all taxpayers will be treated alike, impartially. He is making a winning canvass in this city as well as in other precincts of the district, and if successful at the primaries September 3, is confident of winning by a substantial majority. FIVE SUGAR FACTORIES This Season's Beet Crop Will Be Worth $1,500,000 With five sugar beet factories in operation, or ready to operate, for the 1912 season in Orange county, there is a big demand for labor, and so far as reported there is no shortage of help. The Santa Ana Co-Operative Sugar Company started its new factory on its first grind last Saturday, and will continue until the beets are harvested from the acreage under contract for this plant. The Southern California Sugar Company will commence slicing beets tomorrow and expects to convert about 70,000 tons of beets from about 8,000 acres of land into sugar before the plant is closed down for the season. By the end of the week the factories at Los Alamitos, Anaheim and Huntington Beach will be running full blast. It is estimated that the sugar beet crop will bring the growers $1,500,000. Adding to this the wages paid to employees in the sugar factories, the industry means the distribution of thousands of dollars in the county. The five factories will employ not less than 1,000 men for a period of about 100 days. The wages as follows: Cultural cost, per box...8.8633 Picking, handling and packing...4304 Total ...$1.2937 Cost of freight...828 Average cost of refrigeration...0789 Average cost of selling...070 Total ...9769 Grand total ...$2.2706 Mueh interest has been shown by the league in the past six months relative to the question of protecting the citrus proves against severe cold and the best manner to handle a crop that has been more or less injured by cold. In this investigation the co-operation of the department of agriculture was requested, with the result that exhaustive investigations were made to determine by specific gravity methods the best way to separate frosted fruit from sound fruit. The league has also co-operated actively with the officials in charge of the government citrus by-product laboratory in Los Angeles for the purpose of studying the methods of utilizing the low grades of oranges and lemons and with the officials who have commenced a preliminary study of the nutrition troubles in citrus groves. On account of its organized condition, no other industry is in a position to utilize the results of such work more efficiently than the orange and lemon growers of California. History of Cases Outlined A history of the different lemon rate and pre-cooling cases which have been before the courts for some time is briefly outlined by Mr. Powell in his report. Pending the decision of the United States Commerce Court in the $1 lemon rate case, which was heard last June, more than $372,000 has been deposited by the shippers to the credit of a surety company, which will be returned if the decision of the court is in favor of the shippers. The gain to the orange shippers from February 26, 1907, to July 31, 1912, from a reduction in the rate from $1.25 to $1.15, has been approximately $4,675,000. The question of growers misbranding their fruit also is briefly outlined in Mr. Powell's report, it being a violation of the federal food and drug act to ship citrus fruits under wrong varietal names. Mr. Powell feels that the fruit growers of California, and especially those in the southern part of the state, have every reason to look in an optimistic way on the future of the citrus industry. County Health Officer Wehrly states that he has had one new case of infection. The hot spell on oranges dropped even within the sponding time lag us an indication gathered this fall prior quality.

Adding to this the wages paid to employees in the sugar factories, the industry means the distribution of thousands of dollars in the county. The five factories will employ not less than 1,000 men for a period of about 100 days. The wages will average $2.50 per man per day or $250,000 for the season. Thousands of dollars will be paid by the growers to harvest hands. Local banks are running close on finances to carry the big crops, but the money will soon commence to roll back into business channels and in six weeks the money situation will be easier. This is only one of the industries which makes Orange county the prosperous county she is. FORTUNATE ESCAPE Another fortunate escape from a serious catastrophe occurred on last Saturday at the Santa Fe crossing on Bradford avenue, Placentia. As train No. 2, which is due in Placentia at 9:35 A.M., was stopping to receive passengers at the station, the brake or other stopping gear in the machine driven by Mrs. Nels Anderson, failed to work and the car ran into the train. Fortunately the car was moving at a very low rate of speed and no very serious injury was done to the machine and the occupants were unharmed. The lady in the machine with Mrs. Anderson fainted. The radiator and one lamp were broken. County Health Officer Wehrly states that he has had one new case of infantile paralysis reported to him. The patient is Miss Bertha Rose, aged 22, of Olinda. Outside incorporated cities there are but three cases in this county, one at Olinda, one at Tustin and one at Westminster. Inside incorporated cities but three have been reported, those being at Anaheim. The county health officer has employed Deputy Sheriff G. C. Law to inspect all Mexican camps and dwellings in the county and compel them to be put into sanitary condition. Today the health officer notified County Superintendent of Schools Mitchell to notify the school trustees of all districts in the county that all school houses and school yards must be put into sanitary condition before schools can be opened in September.

Mr. Hitchcock has conducted a clean, newsy paper on stand-pat Republican lines. The new proprietor and editor is from Missouri and is reported to be a so-called progressive. Mr. Hitchcock has left for his former home in Maine. AÑAHEIM GAZETTE BUMPER ORANGE CROP ASSURED Largest in the History of the Orange Industry in Southern California Bumper citrus yield in California, the largest ever produced and aggregating 50,000 carloads, at an approximate value, delivered to Eastern markets of nearly $40,000,000 is the estimate announced of the crop for 1912-1913. The citrus experts of the Santa Fe railroad, the California Fruit Growers' Association, and of independent concerns have been visiting the fruit-growing sections of the state for the past several weeks, carefully inspecting the orchards for the purpose of estimating the size of the coming season's output. The reports returned are more than encouraging as regards the orange crop, although it is evident that the lemon crop will be somewhat light next season, due to the unusually cold weather of last winter, which has weakened the lemon trees. The winter's frosts, although cutting down last season's output materially, had apparently no lasting effect on the orange trees, which universally give evidence of a bountiful crop of unusually large oranges next fall. The estimates made by the experts, as announced by the officials of the Santa Fe railroad, and of the citrus shipping concerns, is but a rough approximation and subject to change. No comparatively accurate estimate can be made till the "dropping" season of the citrus fruits is over. The hot spell of last week started the oranges dropping, and it has only been within the last few days, when by observation, it could be ascertained that a big percentage of the forming citrus fruit would remain on the trees, that any kind of an estimate could be made as to next year's crop. The reports from all over the Southern portion of the state are to the effect that the oranges are further advanced than they were at the corresponding time last year, which gives us an indication that the crop to be RUPTURE EXPERT HERE Seeley, Who Fitted Czar of Russia, Called to Santa Ana F. H. Seeley of Chicago and Philadelphia, the noted truss expert, will be at the Rossmore hotel and will remain in Santa Ana Tuesday and Wednesday only, August 20 and 21. Mr. Seeley says: "The Spermatic Shield Truss as now used and approved by the United States Government will not only retain any case of rupture perfectly, affording immediate and complete relief, but closes the opening in 10 days on the average case. This instrument received the only award in England and in Spain, producing results without surgery, harmful injections, treatments or prescriptions. Mr. Seeley has documents from the United States Government, Washington, D. C., for inspection. All charity cases without charge, or if any interested call he will be glad to show the truss without charge or fit them if desired. Any one ruptured should remember the date and take advantage of this opportunity. President Taft and Secretary Hitchcock are ingratiating themselves with the press of the country by threatening to raise the second-class rate of postage, under which newspapers and magazines are mailed. The expense of the postal department is heavy and the newspapers and magazines are held responsible for it. That's a mistaken idea. If the authorities will take the average weight of mail some time when the railways aren't looking and pay them a fair rate on that amount; if the postal department will cut out its philanthropy and stop printing envelopes for nothing and charge to congress and other departments of the government regular postage on franked mall; much of which isn't even second class matter; if the department will do these things and leave the second class rates alone, there will be no danger of a postal deficit. John, the 9-months-old son of Mr. The hot spell of last week started the oranges dropping, and it has only been within the last few days, when by observation, it could be ascertained that a big percentage of the forming citrus fruit would remain on the trees, that any kind of an estimate could be made as to next year's crop. The reports from all over the Southern portion of the state are to the effect that the oranges are further advanced than they were at the corresponding time last year, which gives us an indication that the crop to be gathered this fall will be of a far superior quality. The crop in the north of the citrus belt, however, will be light. The unusually hot weather in Central California during the past month has caused a heavy drop, so heavy in fact that in some sections only 25 per cent of a crop is reported. The estimate of 50,000 car loads for the coming season's crops is made both by W. G. Barnwell, general freight agent of the Santa Fe system coast lines, and by officials of the California Citrus Fruit Growers' Exchange, and is corroborated by the reports coming to the independent shipping companies. The citrus fruit crop of last year, which was the heaviest yet produced in California, was 42,000 cars. This crop would have been much larger had it not been for the unusually severe frosts. The estimated 44,000 cars of oranges will mean 17,600,000 boxes of oranges, and 6,000 cars of lemons will amount to 2,016,000 boxes. The net value of the crop, figured at a price conservatively estimated by the large dealers for next season's crop should bring $26,032,000 net to the growers, $22,000,000 for oranges and $4,032,000 for lemons. The cost of packing will be approximately $1,322,000, which includes boxes, and the labor of handling the fruit from the picking time until it is placed on the car. According to the estimate of the price that will be paid by the Eastern market for the California product next year, the citrus fruit should bring $39,-736,000. POOR OLD HEN The great American hen is coming in for her share of glory. The daily papers and magazines have begun to note her extreme value in this world of important events and are saying all kinds of nice things about her. One of the leading dailies tells us that 15 months of her work would pay off the national debt, and that all the gold and silver produced in the world during John, the 9-months-old son of Mr. and Mrs. J. P. Berg, died Tuesday, July 30, at the family home, of enteritis. The funeral was held Wednesday afternoon, following which interment was made in Anaheim cemetery. The Republican county convention has been called to meet at the opera house, Santa Ana, September 14. Delegates to this convention will be elected at the primaries, September 3.

Helmsen POOR OLD HEN The great American hen is coming in for her share of glory. The daily papers and magazines have begun to note her extreme value in this world of important events and are saying all kinds of nice things about her. One of the leading dailies tells us that 15 months of her work would pay off the national debt, and that all the gold and silver produced in the world during the year are not equal in value to her eggs. If the hen would work for one year for the children of the United States alone, she would more than pay the entire cost of their public school education in every state in the Union for two years. This sort of reasoning could go on indefinitely, and completely smother the hen with glory, but it shows what a thing it is to keep plugging away at any proposition. A few years ago it was the "poor old hen," but now all are taking their hats off to her. Alex.
