WOULD CAST LOT WITH ORANGE COUNTY NORWALK AND ARTESIA REVIVE THE DISCUSSION OF AN OLD SUBJECT WHITTIER AND THE ADJACENT TERRITORY ALSO READY TO COME IN The proposed annexation to Orange county of a stip of territory lying east and south of San Gabriel river, now a portion of Los Angeles county, which was freely discussed some five years ago, is again engaging public attention by a petition submitted to the board of supervisors from Norwalk and Artesia, asking that that section be annexed to this county. It is understood that Whittier and adjacent territory are also desirous of casting their lot with this county, and are ready to secede from Los Angeles. Whether Long Beach will seek to form a new county when Los Angeles erects itself into a city and county government, or will ask to come into Orange county, is also a topic which comes in for discussion. Some years ago all these sections had the matter under consideration, but owing to the failure of Los Angeles to form a city and county government, they remained in that MARKHAM TRAFFIC MANAGER Brother-in-Law of J. D. Lavin Gets Well Merited Advancement Owing to the coming retirement, late in the present year, of J. M. Johnson, vice-president in charge of traffic of the Missouri Pacific-Iron Mountain System, Mitchell C. Markham, who has been assistant to the senior vice-president and to President B. F. Bush, is to be elected Johnson's successor. Mr. Markham is the brother-in-law of J. D. Lavin, of this city, and is one of the most competent railroad men in the country. Johnson now is in Colorado, and it is expected the actual change will not be made until December next. Johnson has been traffic head for the Missouri Pacific System nine years, in which period the system twice has broken its previous record for tonnage movement, as well as gross earnings from traffic. Markham was looked upon as the probable man for the position, because of the success he had as an adviser to the traffic head of the Illinois Central System under the presidency of Stuyvesant Fish. He prepared a plan that was adopted and followed in the interchange of freight at New Orleans between the Illinois Central and Southern Pacific companies, the most comprehensive ever attempted. Markham now is in Europe, where he is perfecting the details with European and London agents of a comprehensive plan for grain export by the Gould railways from the West Wego ocean docks of the Gould Texas lines above New Orleans, which are being reconstructed and improved so that 76 ocean-going vessels may dock at the terminal at one time for that Whittier and adjacent territory are also desirous of casting their lot with this county, and are ready to secede from Los Angeles. Whether Long Beach will seek to form a new county when Los Angeles erects itself into a city and county government, or will ask to come into Orange county, is also a topic which comes in for discussion. Some years ago all these sections had the matter under consideration, but owing to the failure of Los Angeles to form a city and county government, they remained in that county. Another factor in the situation is the proposed formation of San Antonio county, with Pomona as the county seat. This new county will seek to take over Whittier and its adjacent territory lying this side of New River. This step these people will strenuously oppose. Rather than be included in San Antonio county, the public sentiment is unanimous for joining with Orange county. These matters were much in the public eye five or six years ago, when the plan of Los Angeles to form a city and county government pointed to the sequestration of these localities from the parent younty. When Los Angeles failed to get its bill through the legislature, the discussion subsided, but is now on again in earnest. A petition from residents of Norwalk and Artesia asking annexation to this county was presented the board of supervisors on Thursday by Dr. E. H. Diehl and Clarence Daugherty of Artesia. The strip included in their petition contains a population estimated at 2,000. That there is a strong sentiment in that section in favor of cutting away from Los Angeles county and coming into this county has been known for a long time. It is also known that the Whittier, Clearwater and Bellfleur sections are strongly in favor of annexation. Dr. Diehl stated in his address to the supervisors that residents of Clearwater and Bellfleur had asked him to circulate a petition there also, but he had told them that he was working only with a view to the section east of the river, which includes Artesia and Norwalk, and that Clearwater and Bellfleur must take the matter up by their own effort. There was a long list of signatures to the petition. Dr. Diehl stated that the sentiment in favor of joining Orange county is unanimous. "We feel that as farming communities our interests are identical with the interests of Orange county," said he. "Los Angeles county is controlled by the city's interests. You know there has been a good deal of talk of a city and county government, and we do not want that. There is no question as to freight at New Orleans between the Illinois Central and Southern Pacific companies, the most comprehensive ever attempted. Markham now is in Europe, where he is perfecting the details with European and London agents of a comprehensive plan for grain export by the Gould railways from the West Wego ocean docks of the Gould Texas lines above New Orleans, which are being reconstructed and improved so that 76 ocean-going vessels may dock at the terminal at one time for loading or unloading. A part of this grain export plan, announced several weeks ago, proposed by Markham, was the publication by the Missouri Pacific-Iron Mountain of a lower blanket rate for grain from the Lower Missouri River Valley and adjacent territory to the West Wego ocean docks. The plan also is a part of the general plan for handling the traffic of the system through the port of New Orleans when the changed routings are to be made on account of the Panama Canal opening. The appointment of J. M. Githens to succeed B. M. Flippin as freight traffic manager of the Missouri Pacific is looked upon as a recognition of the successful work of Githens as general freight agent in charge of solicitation for six years. Mr. Githens was for many years connected with the Illinois Central, where he worked under the direction of Mr. Markham. Githens now is in the West, and will return to St. Louis before September 1, on which date he becomes freight traffic manager. His successor as general freight agent has not been named, but it is reported K. M. Wharry, general freight agent of the Missouri Pacific at Kansas City, may be promoted to fill the vacancy. IMPORTANT DECISION New Classified Directory of Anaheim and Vicinity to Be Published in the Near Future Mr. Thurston, the publisher of the previous resident and classified directory of Anaheim, is working upon a new directory; the information will contain the names of adults of Anaheim and all of the other cities, town, and rural districts in the north half of Orange county. This directory will tell at a glance the members of all partnerships and owners of firms doing business under fictitious or fancy names as well as fully describing incorporated business houses. The information representing the rural population will give their full name, resident and postoffice address, majority, and gave a gift himself generally throughout the district go up against a Riverside probably make it Evans. Smythe is one of the orators in the state and accept his challenge to discussion should be made. Smythe will run as on a platform of his own. “If I am elected I must place on the Republican House,” said Smythe issued this week. “I wish with the body of insurer who, under the leader lette in the Senate, battles of progressive last four years. Mr. H would act with the thief is not likely to be nudged in the next Coronade. “I hope to convince the interests of this party to which they have attached by a vast instead of killing them should give it a new citation it affresh to the society. I hope Mr. Evans joint canvass of the district may address the vote and give them the best chance to determine their perseverance. “Our difference will chiefly on two questions of big business to go future of the trusts.” BONDS BRING Recently Issued Bribery Securities Sold A The $100,000 bridge 000 hospital and P were sold by the Board on Thursday morning brought good premiums the other $2448.

Dr. Diehl stated that the sentiment in favor of joining Orange county is unanimous. "We feel that as farming communities our interests are identical with the interests of Orange county," said he. "Los Angeles county is controlled by the city's interests. You know there has been a good deal of talk of a city and county government, and we do not want that. There is no question as to how we feel about it. The question is: Do you want us?" Supervisors Smith, Talbert and Struck expressed themselves as personally favorable to the project. Talbert and Struck said they wanted to make a further investigation before acting. Daugherty explained the condition of Artesia and Norwalk as he sees it. He said: "We've got a lot of taxable property and few votes to protect it with. We believe that projects of this county would be more in line with ours. There has been statements made that you would not want us because we have the San Gabriel river on our hands. I will state that we have a protection district formed to take care of the river, and the river will not be a burden to this county." After talking the matter over, the supervisors passed a motion naming the entire board as a committee to investigate. District Attorney West was asked to look up the law on the question that the procedure by which annexation is accomplished may be made clear. SHE WAS STILL THERE The sick man had just come out of a long delirium. "Where am I?" he said feebly, as he felt the loving hands making him comfortable. "Where am I? In heaven?" "No, dear," cooed his devoted wife, "I am still with you." SMYTHE SHIES CASTOR INTO THE RING SAN DIEGO MAN ANNOUNCES HIMSELF INDEPENDENT CANDIDATE FOR CONGRESS WILL TAKE STUMP ON PERSONAL PLATFORM, ISSUES CHALLENGE TO EVANS FOR DEBATE William E. Smythe, of San Diego, irrigation expert and La Follette progressive, has announced his candidacy for congress in the Eleventh district upon an independent platform. Mr. Smythe ran as an independent candidate for congress in the old Eighth district against Daniels of Riverside, a number of years ago, and gave the old gentleman a run for his dinero. He carried San Diego county by a large majority, and gave a good account of himself generally in the running throughout the district. He will again go up against a Riverside man and will probably make it interesting for Evans. Smythe is one of the ablest platform orators in the state and should Evans accept his challenge to a debate, the discussion should be most interesting. Smythe will run as an independent on a platform of his own choosing. “If I am elected I shall vote for a Republican for speaker and take my RETURNS FROM LAKE TAHOE Mr. Gervais Makes Two Thousand Miles Without Mishap D. Gervais and family returned this week from a month's outing at Lake Tahoe, the trip being made in Mr. Gervais' touring car. A distance of 2,000 miles was traveled, and not a single accident marked the serenity of the trip. Mr. Gervais said he encountered good roads and bad, and in San Luis Obispo ran into a piece of road under construction by the state highway commission. No room had been left for travel on either side of the roadway and he found it rough going for several miles. The trip north was made along the coast route to San Francisco and northward to the lake and the return by the interior route. Trout in abundance were caught in the lake and a thoroughly enjoyable outing resulted. REGULATING MARRIAGE Medical Society Would Debar Unfit Persons From Joining in Wedlock Recognizing the necessity for enactment of more stringent laws regulating the issuance of marriage licenses, the Orange County Medical Society at a recent meeting, adopted the following resolutions: Whereas, Orange County Medical Society, appreciating the importance of Social Disease Prophylaxis, and recognizing the value humanity has already derived from work done in this line by legislative bodies and the medical profession; be it Resolved, That the president of this society appoint from its membership three physicians who shall constitute a committee on Sanitation and Moral majority, and gave a good account of himself generally in the running throughout the district. He will again go up against a Riverside man and will probably make it interesting for Evans. Smythe is one of the ablest platform orators in the state and should Evans accept his challenge to a debate, the discussion should be most interesting. Smythe will run as an independent on a platform of his own choosing. “If I am elected I shall vote for a Republican for speaker and take my place on the Republican side of the House,” said Smythe in a statement issued this week. “I shall co-operate with the body of insurgent members who, under the leadership of La Follette in the Senate, have fought the battles of progressivism during the last four years. Mr. Evans, of course, would act with the third party, which is not likely to be numerously represented in the next Congress. “I hope to convince the voters that the interests of this district lie with the party to which they have formerly been attached by a vast majority, that instead of killing that party they should give it a new birth and dedicate it afresh to the service of humanity. I hope Mr. Evans will engage in a joint canvass of the district so that we may address the voters side by side and give them the best possible chance to determine their performance. “I do not believe the Republican party has finished its work, but it must be purified and brought in line with twentieth century ideals. I stand with those who believe the best way to go forward is to elect Woodrow Wilson this year, with a Progressive Republican Congress, and then to reorganize the Republican party on a true progressive basis hereafter under the leadership of Robert M. La Follette. “Our difference with Roosevelt is chiefly on two questions, the relations of big business to government and the future of the trusts.” BONDS BRING PREMIUM Recently Issued Bridge and Hospital Securities Sold Advantageously The $100,000 bridge bonds and $60,000 hospital and poor farm bonds were sold by the Board of Supervisors on Thursday morning.

A delegation from Orange appeared before the board to ask for the improvement of the road to the County Park. A. Dittmer and V. D. Johnson advocated the improvement of the road over the El Modena grade. J. L. Wheeler and Ray Billingsley talked in favor of improving the "old road" through the Villa Park section. These men showed that a good road to the park would be an immense attraction to outsiders and a convenience to the people of the whole county. Supervisor Struck stated that he favored building a good road to the park, and thought a special levy ought to be put on for it. It is now too late to have that road included in the outline submitted by the County Highway Commission, as the report of the commission has been adopted. Should the report be sent back to the commission it might delay the good roads election several months. YOUR VACATION Come in and have us send you the Gazette on your vacation trip. You can't afford to be without it. 1,000 tons of pits were cracked by the firm. The price paid for the pits this year ranges from $20 to $23 per ton while last year better than $37.50 per ton was paid. The company last year cracked several hundred tons of pits for outside firms, but is not doing so now, which accounts for the difference in the tonnage of last season and this. The kernels run from 20 to 23 per cent to the ton of pits and are shipped to Germany, where, it is reported they are used chiefly in the manufacture of confections. Buyers of dried apricots are becoming more active than they have been since the buying season opened and this is taken as indication that the price will be advanced in a short time. Seven cents is now being offered as a rule, and considerable fruit is being bought at this price. Many growers, however, believe that the price will advance to 8 cents by the 1st of October, and are holding. Offers of 7¾ cents per pound for first-class fruit have been reported, but this quotation is the exception. Buyers report that the percentage of fancy fruit is less this season than last, almost two-thirds less. Last season it averaged about 25 per cent fancy; this season it is running from 8 to 10 per cent. Taking the crop as a whole, the shrinkage has been greater than ever before. In past seasons the average has been from 4½ to five tons of green fruit to one dried, while this season it runs from 5½ to six tons of green fruit to one dried. Grading and packing is now in progress in several of the packing houses. The tax rate of Orange county this year will be fixed at $1.54 outside incorporated cities and $1.05 inside cities. This is a reduction of 5 cents from last year. The decision to reduce the rate was reached by the supervisors after a conference with County Assessor Sleeper, who asked that the rate be reduced since he had given the county a raise of $8,000,000 in assessment.
