WARNING BOMB TO ORANGE COUNTY MASS MEETING AT SAN GABRIEL TOMORROW WILL TOUCH IT OFF LOS ANGELES CITY MAY GOBBLE US IF WE DON'T WATCH OUT Here is something which will make residents of Orange county sit up and take notice. According to the consolidation scheme so dear to the heart of Los Angeles boomers, Orange county may wake up some fine morning and find itself attached to General Otis' coat tail. A monster mass meeting to protest against this consolidation iniquity will be held at San Gabriel tomorrow. As affording information concerning this meeting, the following communication to the Gazette will be of interest: South Pasadena, Sept. 6, 1912. Editor Gazette: Enclosed you will find a page from the South Pasadena Record containing notice of a monster mass meeting to be held at San Gabriel Friday, September 13, from 4:30 P.M. to 10 P.M., called by this commission to oppose the consolidation scheme, this meeting will fire a bomb of warning to the whole of Southern California and here it seems proper to call your attention as to how this iniquitous bill dangerously concerns your attention. You will note the measure provides for the consolidation of counties and cities and also cities, counties and parts of counties containing popula- BUENA PARK The Ladies' Mutual Aid Society will meet at the school house Thursday, September 12, at 2 P.M., to make plans for their annual bazaar and festival. J. D. Jaynes, our highly esteemed city marshal, has just returned from his outing with the Seventh Regiment, National Guards, in which he ranks as second lieutenant on the colonel's staff. The Park Chamber of Commerce has taken a new lease of life, elected C. L. McComber president, John Perry secretary, and extended a general invitation to all voters to come in and help. This includes the women, of course. Lively times may be expected at the meetings in the future. Mr. and Mrs. Henry Warren have returned from a visit to Lake Tahoe. Mr. and Mrs. Geo. Thomas and Mr. and Mrs. Weirbuch spent their vacation at Catalina. Mrs. J. D. Jaynes and children have returned from a months' stay at Bay City. Mrs. Jaynes' sister has returned to her home near Phoenix, Arizona. Mrs. Frank Marsh has sold her ranch in the Park and will make her home at Tropico where she has relatives. T. L. Dyer, the pastor of the Congregational church, has accepted a call at Albuquerque, N.M., and left for his new home a few days ago. His congregation at the Park were very sorry to part with him but being comparatively few in number, were not able to pay him one-half the salary he commands in his new position. A farewell reception was given Mr. D. and his lovely wife, including Mrs. Marsh, who was assistant superintendent of the Sabbath school. The church was filled with their friends who assembled to bid them good-by and God speed. Elegant refreshments were served. Mr. and Mrs. George Durgan have mass meeting to be held at San Gabriel Friday, September 13, from 4:30 P.M. to 10 P.M., called by this commission to oppose the consolidation scheme, this meeting will fire a bomb of warning to the whole of Southern California and here it seems proper to call your attention as to how this iniquitous bill dangerously concerns your attention. You will note the measure provides for the consolidation of counties and cities and also cities, counties and parts of counties containing population of 350,000 or more. Thereby, Los Angeles, by casting the majority ballot herself, could absorb parts of Orange, San Bernardino and Riverside counties, just as San Francisco, (the city that drew this measure with the purported purpose in view) could take in parts of counties containing Oakland, Alameda, Berkeley, and other fat streaks of territory in adjoining counties. Even though it may be true that such an outcome is only a faint probability, we believe you, who might be effected, will be in hearty sympathy with the people of the San Gabriel Valley and other sections of Los Angeles county in their efforts of forestalling such an unprincipled scheme to take away the rights of self government and the power of preserving the autonomy of our towns and cities. Under the circumstances, we desire to extend an urgent and hearty invitation to your mayor, councilmen, city attorney and other governing officials, as also your chamber of commerce or board of trade and every earnest, interested citizen, to be present at the meeting at San Gabriel. Let some come prepared to speak and please bear in mind that the time to fight is short and that the proponents of the measure have spent thousands already and are working every political avenue to win. Trusting that we may be favored with a reply stating your views and also as to whether you can attend and whether you will speak. Yours very respectfully, SAN GABRIEL VALLEY INTER-CITY COMMISSION.

Mr. and Mrs. George Durgan have just returned from a hunting and fishing trip among the mountain near Elsinore. To city-bred people it is rare sport to camp out under the grand old "Live oak trees," catch fish and cook them on the ground, on a bed of coals. DECIDIOUS FRUITS PROFITABLE Season's Crop Large, and Market Conditions Favorable The California deciduous fruit season of 1912, which is drawing near a close, has been a successful one from every standpoint. The crop has been an average one, the transportation facilities have been good and the growers have made money. Of all the varieties of deciduous fruits grown in California there has been only one this year that has failed to yield a satisfactory profit to the grower. This is the peach. While peach growers this year have made a slight profit, none of them have made big money. This is because there was an unusually large crop of peaches in all peach-growing districts of the nation. Georgia had a phenomenal crop and so did Texas. Peaches from these two states came on the market about the same time as the product from California, and the result was that peaches brought a very poor price. The average was probably not more than $10 a ton for the grower. Excellent prices were obtained all season by the growers of plums, prunes and Bartlett pears. No other section of the world can compete with California in the production of these fruits, and the market quotations for them were good during the entire season. The principal product of the fruit lands yet to go forward is the grape. The grape crop will be much shorter this year than last and in consequence much better prices will be obtained. Prices for grapes this year will be satisfactory. F. B. McKevitt, manager of the California Fruit Distributors, estimated that the total number of cars of de- John D. Reaves, President, Per S. C.

A FRUSTRATED ROMANCE I met her first down by the sea—the landlord's lovely daughter she; the fairest maid along the shore, 'mid other beauteous maids galore. Her eyes were bright, her eyes were blue, her smile was sweet, and good, and true; her cheeks were tanned, but in their wealth suggested an abundant health. I sought her here, I sought her there. I followed her 'most everywhere, and finally one soft June night I met her in the pale moonlight. Ecstatic, thrilled in soul and heart, I wooed her from the very start, and ere the stars had ceased to shine had begged her say she would be mine. A solemn look came in her eye, and then she made me this reply: "I do not know if I can say right off the handle if I may. I do not know exactly what engagements are already got, but if perchance you still persist, I'll gladly put you on the list. I have a notion that I'm free from July ten to August three, with possibly a day or two besides, before the season's through, when I'll be yours with pleasure great—that is, upon the usual rate, I charge ten dollars, cash, per day for serving as a fliancee." And ere the silver moon went down I turned and beat it back to town. Miss—You earn $50 a month. Before I marry you you'll have to earn $50 a week. Mister—B-but with you a month would seem but a week WATER BOARD GOES UP THE RIVER INSPECTION TRIP YESTERDAY TO BED ROCK CANYON AND OTHER POINTS ORANGETHORPE IRRIGATORS PROTEST AGAINST USE OF WATER FROM SUGAR FACTORY Anaheim, Sept. 7, 1912. A regular meeting of the Board of Directors was held on the above date with all members present except Director Hale. Minutes of the last regular meeting were read and approved. The report of the Finance Committee was read and approved and warrants ordered drawn in payment of the various demands therein recommended. The reports of the Secretary, Treasurer and Superintendent were received and filed. Mr. Sherwood stated that the Reinforced Concrete Company was anxious to get a check for the balance of its account. As this balance is not due until the pipe line has been tested, it was moved by McFadden and seconded by Beazley that the Superintendent test the pipe line before any further payments be made; carried. Mr. Murphy appeared before the Board and asked to have a house built upon the reservoir site for him to live in. As it was not known just what his needs were, this was referred to the Oil Committee to investigate and report at the next meeting. J. R. Gardiner ... 5.00 O. M.
