TAFT ENDORSED BY THE COUNTY REPUBLICANS CONVENTION AT SANTA ANA DE-NOUNCES BULL MOOSERS AND THROWS DOWN GAGE POGRESS AND PROSPERITY OF MORE MOMENT THAN DEAD POPULISTIC DOCTRINES Throwing down the gauntlet of battle to Roosevelt's Bull Moose usurpers a convention of 400 Republicans at Santa Ana on Saturday wildly cheered the name of Taft and unequivocably endorsed his administration. The convention was a true blue Republican convention in every respect, and there was more enthusiasm and applause at expression of Republican doctrine than ever before expressed at a Republican convention assembled in this county. Bull Moose trouble makers were conspicuous by their absence. cer, Jas. McFadden, Albert Hermes and H. C. Myers. Credentials—J. S. Howard, J. W. Flagg, J. P. Boring, N. F. Morse, G. W. Young Permanent Organization and Order of Business—R. D. Richards, of Sunset Beach, who led the bolt last Saturday, E. K. Benchley, John Scott, A. W. Thompson, A. H. Stutsman. When the committees had retired to deliberate upon matters referred to them, Chairman Wilson introduced Captain Simons, of Pasadena, who addressed the convention for an hour. Captain Simons made one of the best Republican speeches ever heard in the county, and his utterances were frequently greeted with loud applause. He scored the California primary law, which gives over to legislative nominees and hold-over Senators the selection of presidential electors. "There are twenty hold-over Senators in California this year, nearly all of them Republicans, elected to their offices by Republican voters two years ago. There was then no such political organization as a National Progressive party, but such of these Republican Senators as are now affiliating with the Progressive party are going to Sacramento to place Roosevelt elec- Throwing down the gauntlet of battle to Roosevelt's Bull Moose usurpers a convention of 400 Republicans at Santa Ana on Saturday wildly cheered the name of Taft and unequivocably endorsed his administration. The convention was a true blue Republican convention in every respect, and there was more enthusiasm and applause at expression of Republican doctrine than ever before expressed at a Republican convention assembled in this county. Bull Moose trouble makers were conspicuous by their absence. The piping voice of E. E. Keech was not lifted to disconcert the days' proceedings, nor was Johnny Beatty, Johnny Anderson, nor S. M. Craddick present, to lift up their voices and bray about the "late Republican party," "the stolen nomination at Chicago," nor denunciation of the true-hearted patriot now occupying the White House at Washington. In their stead were men white-haired in defense of the principles of the Republican party and many women who by their interest and close attention to the proceedings show that they were in line with the principles of the Grand Old Party. More than 200 delegates were present, and upward of that number of old-line Republicans attended from all sections of the county, all of them eager to accept the gage of battle thrown down by the Roosevelt third-termers. No convention ever held in the history of the county was so wildly demonstrative, nor so enthusiastic in support of Republican principles, and when the report of the committee on resolutions was read, endorsing Taft and his administration, and referring in terms of derision to dead Populistic and Socialist doctrines brought into the campaign by Roosevelt and his mooses, the convention went off its feet and cheered wildly for several minutes. Declaration that a protective tariff to California's products was of more moment to the people than the Socialistic initiative and referendum, and that prosperity and American markets for American products was more essential to the people than the recall, met with long, continued hand clapping and applause. Many of the planks in the platform adopted were heartily applauded, and at the conclusion of their reading the convention broke into long, continued cheering. When Roger Williams, descendant of the Colonial patriot, walked upon the stage in company of N. A. Ulm, he was greeted with hand-clapping and applause. As the convention hall was filled with delegates and representative Republicans from all portions of the California primary law, which gives over to legislative nominees and hold-over Senators the selection of presidential electors. "There are twenty hold-over Senators in California this year, nearly all of them Republicans, elected to their offices by Republican voters two years ago. There was then no such political organization as a National Progressive party, but such of these Republican Senators as are now affiliating with the Progressive party are going to Sacramento to place Roosevelt electors upon the ballot under the Republican party designation. They denounce the Republican party as a corrupt thing of the past, announce their allegiance to a third political party, yet they attempt the theft of the Republican party's name to the end that they might thereby deceive the voters and carry the election by votes from the party which they denounce. This is not only base treachery to the Grand Old Party, but it is political theft of a particularly wilful and dastardly nature. They tell us that if we desire to have Republican electors placed upon the ballot we may do so by petition, forsooth. They seem to be progressives in theory, but when it comes down to practical politics they wish to usurp the Republican party's name." Captain Simons payed a great tribute to President Taft, extolling him as one of the greatest presidents who ever filled the executive chair. He recounted many of the great measures passed during his administration, and said that he had remained silent under the splenetic attacks of Theodore Roosevelt. Hiram Johnson and their followers. He criticised Roosevelt for many of his changing attitudes upon the political situation. Roosevelt, he said, was two years ago opposed, tooth and nail, to woman suffrage in California. Today, when there are a hundred thousand women voters in the State, Roosevelt lifts up his voice and brays for woman's suffrage. Two years ago Roosevelt was against the call of the judiciary, now he loudly proclaims himself in favor of it. Roosevelt says he is the only man in the United States who can be elected president in opposition to the great trusts and special interests. There is no other man in the country who can be elected president, he says, in opposition to the great trusts. If this be so, what will be the condition of affairs four years from now, or eight years from now? With the powerful aid of Federal patronage back of him, will be elect himself president over and over again, until finding no man in the Union worthy of taking his place, he will turn the presidency over William Kettner, of St. Francis district, was Saturday accompanied by San Diego citizens, among H. R. Fay, councilman Frank S. Banks, Nelson Chas. Sterne. Mr. Kettner drove over from Riverdale biles, having made a car side and San Bernardino last week. He foundicans in this county who qualified assurance of their will under no conditions a candidate of a thief is doing its utmost to publican party. He hours in town, meeting cans as well as Democrat afternoon drove to San Diego he attended the Republication. In the evening at San Diego, and is this way an energetic canvass district. Speaking of the polite Kettner said he had no house of representation Democratic. "I am a member of Champ Clark," he said elected, be in position fact to be of great size growers of the district. that it will be the Democrat put citrus fruits on this I shall vote to retain this rule as at present. San more lemons than any other district and I shall protect their interest extent. By the same token lemon growers of Orange well as other counties will find in me a strong protective tariff. "The opening of the door and the improvement harbor, which stands terrace among the harbored States, means greater county as well as trict. People will be canal to San Diego and as we have not thus locate them there, them here, and you will number many permanent citizens. The Santa Fe company will in the not build a four-track line through this county nor freight will be handled harbor much more expo with greater economy than Orange county ought to this promised era of government." Many of the planks in the platform adopted were heartily applauded, and at the conclusion of their reading the convention broke into long, continued cheering. When Roger Williams, descendant of the Colonial patriot, walked upon the stage in company of N. A. Ulm, he was greeted with hand-clapping and applause. As the convention hall was filled with delegates and representative Republicans from all portions of the county, R. D. Richards, of Bay City, walked down the left isle to a seat in front of the speaker's platform. At sight of him the convention broke into turmultuous applause. Mr. Richards smiled, bowed his acknowledgments, and took his seat in one of the front rows. In calling the convention to order Chairman Williams said that some objection had appeared in Bull Moose quarters to his acting as chairman of the County Central Committee since the Moose convention of the preceding Saturday, but he maintained his right to occupy that position, according to party usage, until a Republican County Central Committee had been chosen to supercede the old committee which had elected him as its chairman. The sentiment was greeted with the first great round of applause in the convention. Williams continued in a brief address expounding Republican doctrine and was greeted with applause throughout his brief speech. N. A. Ulm read the call for the convention as well as the list of delegates entitled to seats therein. W. B. Williams nominated W. W. Wilson, of Newport Beach, as temporary chairman of the convention. Wilson was elected by acclamation. W. O. Hart, of Orange, was elected secretary of the convention. After a brief intermission, Chairman Wilson announced the following committees: Resolutions—L. L.

R. Fay, councilman of that city, Frank S. Banks, Nelson Snyder and Chas. Sterne. Mr. Kettner and party drove over from Riverside in automobiles, having made a canvass of River-side and San Bernardino counties during last week. He found many Republicans in this county who gave him ship, and the Bull Moose candidate, who is doing his utmost to destroy the Republican party. If we can defeat the Bull Moose candidate by a Democrat, it will mean the end of the third party movement in this district. We want the support of Republicans of this county for we are with you in maintaining the citrus protective schedule and our interests in regard to the state highway are entirely similar. We are with you in the development of this portion of the district, and we look for substantial support, for our candidate, from Republicans in this county. OLD COMRADES MEET War Veteran Guest of Former Pittsburg Friend Colonel Walker, of Pittsburg, Adjutant General of Prisoners of War Association, was in town one day last week, and in company of former Pittsburg friends, was taken on an auto tour to points of interest hereabouts. In the party were Captain Williams, Judge Frank Shanley and P. R. Donahoe. Colonel Walker was driven to the water company's big pumping plant at Crowther's corner, where he saw 450 inches of water lifted by a single pump. DEMAND ROAD TO GOLDEN STATE REGION BOARD OF TRADE GETTING BUSY ON THE PROPOSED NEW HIGHWAY MONDAY NIGHT'S MEETING WAS DEVOTED TO ROAD IMPROVEMENTS Betterment of Orange county's highways in general and the construction of a road from Anaheim to the Golden State country northeast of Placentia, were the only matters under consideration at the Board of Trade meeting Monday night. Messrs. Mills, Krause and Chamberlain, the committee appointed at a previous meeting to inspect the roadway between these points and make suitable recommendations for its improvement, made a report. A delegation from the Golden William Kettner, of San Diego, Democratic candidate for Congressman in the Eleventh district, was in town on Saturday accompanied by a number of San Diego citizens, among them Major H. R. Fay, councilman of that city, Frank S. Banks, Nelson Snyder and Chas. Sterne. Mr. Kettner and party drove over from Riverside in automobiles, having made a canvass of Riverside and San Bernardino counties during last week. He found many Republicans in this county who gave him unqualified assurance of their support as they will under no consideration support a candidate of a third party which is doing its utmost to destroy the Republican party. He spent several hours in town, meeting many Republicans as well as Democrats and in the afternoon drove to Santa Ana where he attended the Republican convention. In the evening he returned to San Diego, and is this week continuing an energetic canvass throughout the district. Speaking of the political situation Kettner said he had no doubt the next house of representatives would be Democratic. "I am a personal friend of Champ Clark," he said, "and will, if elected, be in position through that fact to be of great service to fruit growers of the district. I am informed that it will be the Democratic policy to put citrus fruits on the free list, but I shall vote to retain the tariff schedule as at present. San Diego grows more lemons than any other county in the district and I shall do my utmost to protect their interests in the fullest extent. By the same token, orange and lemon growers of Orange county, as well as other counties of the district, will find in me a strong champion of the protective tariff. "The opening of the Panama canal and the improvement of San Diego harbor, which stands tenth in its commerce among the harbors of the United States, means great things to Orange county as well as this entire district. People will be coming through the canal to San Diego by thousands and as we have not the back country to locate them there, we shall bring them here, and you will get from their number many permanent, substantial citizens. The Santa Fe railroad company will in the not distant future build a four-track line from San Diego through this county north. Your eastern freight will be handled through our harbor much more expeditiously and with greater economy than at present. Orange county ought to be with us in this promised era of great development." **burg Friend** Colonel Walker, of Pittsburg, Adjutant General of Prisoners of War Association, was in town one day last week, and in company of former Pittsburg friends, was taken on an auto tour to points of interest hereabouts. In the party were Captain Williams, Judge Frank Shanley and P. R. Donahoe. Colonel Walker was driven to the water company's big pumping plant at Crowther's corner, where he saw 450 inches of water lifted by a single pump for irrigation purposes. He was driven through Placentia to the Yorba reservoir which he looked upon with particular interest. He was shown the orange and walnut groves throughout this section, and pronounced the sight the most magnificent he had ever seen. He was also shown the sugar factory, cannery and the extensive beet fields west of town. He declared the varied resources of the valley were greater than that of any other area within his knowledge. He was also shown the Olinda oil district, and marveled at the great development everywhere apparent in that section. Colonel Walker and Mr. Donahoe were members of the famous Pittsburg battery, and went into the war at the first call for troops. They got their first baptism of blood at Lookout Mountain, where men were killed by thousands all about them. Every horse in their battery was killed, and their guns were drenched with blood. The battery participated in many other notable engagements and was present at the decisive battle of Gettysburg. Captain Williams fought in the Shenandoah campaign and participated in the battle of Winchester. Like his other two comrades he was several years in the service of the Union army and fought in many engagements including the fight at Gettysburg. The four men were friends in Pittsburg before the war. They met in Los Angeles two weeks ago at the Grand Army encampment. It was their first meeting in 40 years. Colonel Walker was invited to come to Anaheim before leaving for his home in the East. He said on leaving that the day spent here with his old friends was the happiest in all his career. **INJURED AT THE CIRCUS** Mrs. Herman Stock Hurt in Crash of Section of Grand-Stand Mrs. Herman Stock sustained severe injuries at the Barnum & Bailey circus at Santa Ana Friday evening by the fall of the section of grand-stand in which 400 people were thrown to the ground. Mrs. Stock was painfully cut Betterment of Orange county's highways in general and the construction of a road from Anaheim to the Golden State country northeast of Placentia, were the only matters under consideration at the Board of Trade meeting Monday night. Messrls. Mills, Krause and Chamberlain, the committee appointed at a previous meeting to inspect the roadway between these points and make suitable recommendations for its improvement, made a report. A delegation from the Golden State territory, consisting of C. J. Heckman, chairman, and Messrs. Pragle, Henning, Hazard, Brooks, Hogan and Snerley, was present and endorsed the committee's report, which was as follows: Anaheim, Sept. 23, 1912. In the matter of a road into the Golden State country, committee made a personal inspection and interviewed parties interested. Would recommend that La Palm avenue be opened through Mrs. Dierkson's and Mrs. Tucker's properties, as follows: To be extended due east from Tucker's corner, to a point beyond and east of Mrs. Dierkson's house to a point due south of the bend in the Corona road, thence to run due north to this bend. We consider this the best solution, as Mrs. Dierkson now has a private road to her house, which would include the greater part of the proposed road, and would also leave Mrs. Dierkson's property in best possible shape. To accomplish this, the parties directly interested should circulate a legal petition and bring the matter properly before the supervisors. As soon as rain sets in, then this road should be graded from Tucker's corner and out along the Corona road to the end of the road district, leading to the Gulick ranch. Also from the Corona road north past the Commonwealth school house to the Anaheim road, and east on the Anaheim road past the A. U W. Co.'s pumping plant No. 3 to the end of the road district. It is understood that the property holders will aid in the grading. After being graded, the whole to be well oiled. That the supervisors be requested to re-oil La Palm avenue from Tucker's corner to North street at East street, and that the city council be requested to oll North street from East street to Los Angeles street, thus making a connection with the proposed paving on North Los Angeles street. As to right-of-way through the property of Mrs. Tucker, and Mrs. Dierkson, this should be adjusted by an appraising board, which would assess to locate them there, we shall bring them here, and you will get from their number many permanent, substantial citizens. The Santa Fe railroad company will in the not distant future build a four-track line from San Diego through this county north. Your eastern freight will be handled through our harbor much more expeditiously and with greater economy than at present. Orange county ought to be with us in this promised era of great development. "Upon the matter of the state highway, San Diego and Orange county should be a unit. We want the road to join San Diego and Los Angeles by a direct line through this county. The highway has already been surveyed through San Diego county and surveyors and now at work in this county. If Evans should succeed in his political ambitions, he will work for the foothill boulevard from Los Angeles to Riverside and thence to Yuma. He will do what he can to make that line a part of the projected transcontinental highway. In that event we may lose the highway through Orange and San Diego counties and it will be up to us again bond ourselves for the construction of the road." Mr. Kettner has been a resident of San Diego for 27 years and has been prominently identified with the development of that city. He says he will sweep that county and with assurances of Republican support in this county, San Bernardino, Imperial and other counties, has no doubt of his election. Even in Riverside county he looks for strong support. Major Fay, who was 12 years ago a resident of this city, and is now a member of the San Diego city council, strongly advocates Kettner's election. Mr. Fay is a Republican, as are all the other members in Kettner's party. "It should not take Republicans to decide," said Major Fay, "between Mr. Kettner, who was one of Spaulding's strongest supporters for the senator- INJURED AT THE CIRCUS Mrs. Herman Stock Hurt in Crash of Section of Grand-Stand Mrs. Herman Stock sustained severe injuries at the Barnum & Bailey circus at Santa Ana Friday evening by the fall of the section of grand-stand in which 400 people were thrown to the ground. Mrs. Stock was painfully cut about the face by her glasses which were broken in the fall. She also sustained painful bruises but suffered no broken bones. The accident occurred shortly after the performance began. It was due to soft ground, the supports giving way and allowing the seats to fall. Many people were quite seriously injured, and that no one was killed seems miraculous. Mrs. Dobson, of Santa Ana, suffered the fracture of several ribs and it is said one young lady had her leg broken. Great excitement prevailed during the crash, but quiet was soon restored. The seats were speedily replaced upon the re-erected structure and the performance proceeded. Herman Stock was pinned under the wreckage and sustained a number of severe bruises. He was unable for a time to extricate himself and was unable to reach his wife. After the injured people had been taken away and the wreckage cleared, he was able to make his way out. He was not seriously injured himself but found his wife cut about the face and bleeding from several wounds. Dr. J. H. Boege and wife, Charlie Pearson, Donald and Albert Petermann, and Joe Elliott also occupied seats in the wrecked section. They escaped with minor bruises and a severe shaking up. Judge Richard Egan was in town from San Juan one day last week visiting his many friends hereaway. That the supervisors be requested to re-oil La Palm avenue from Tucker's corner to North street at East street, and that the city council be requested to oil North street from East street to Los Angeles street, thus making a connection with the proposed paving on North Los Angeles street. As to right-of-way through the property of Mrs. Tucker, and Mrs. Dierkson, this should be adjusted by an appraising board, which would assess benefits and damages, keeping in mind that these parties now travel over miles of road in bringing their produce to shipping point that is dedicated to public use without one cent of compensation. In supporting this proposition Mr. Heckman stated that his end of the road could be depended upon to do its part toward building a good highway between the points. Fullerton and Placentia, he said, were making overtures to them but his people preferred to trade in Anaheim. Under present road conditions it is almost impossible to reach this point but with the expenditure of a little labor and the use of oil a passable highway could be had. They also want an Anaheim mail route extended to their country as they prefer getting their mail from here instead of Placentia which is making overtures and endeavoring to extend a route to that region. "Anaheim is our home town," said Mr. Heckman, "and we want to trade here and receive our mail here." F. C. Krause was appointed a committee to interview the postal authorities and secure the extension of a route if it is feasible. Mr. Mills made such an eloquent denunciation of the supervisors for giving the south end of the county the biggest half in division of the additional road fund levied this year that the members became indignant and adopted a resolution introduced by him demanding a more just and equitable ar- CALIFORNIA STATE LIBRARY MER 26, 1912 NUMBER 49-50 ROAD TO STATE ON GETTING BUSY OUSED NEW WAY MEETING WAS ROAD IMENTS ge county's highthe construction im to the Golden east of Placentia, wars under considof Trade meeting ers. Mills, Krause the committee apmeeting to in between these able recommendament, made a refrom the Golden rangement. A motion to send a committee of five to present it to the supervisors carried; but the chair withheld the names of the committee. President Quarton and Secretary Ahlborn will be members of it. Following are the resolutions: Resolved, by the Anaheim Board of Trade, that we are opposed to the Board of Supervisors paying from the current expense fund of the county vast sums of money to build roads along the coast as requested by coast promoters, the amount so requested being over $38,000. In this respect we desire to submit to the Board of Supervisors the following general facts and conditions in regard to proposed road improvements and taxation: Of the proposed paved highways that section of the county north of Santa Ana, including Orange and Garden Grove, is to get but 40 miles while south of Santa Ana there are 57 miles. If distributed according to assessed valuation then the north should get 57 miles and the south 40. Of the bridges there are none provided for in the north, whereas about two-thirds of the bridge money should come this way. In the past four years the taxes in the county for county purposes alone, not including state, have increased WALNUT HARVEST BRINGS IN 3 MILLIONS ORANGE COUNTY GROWERS BEGIN GATHERING ONE-THIRD OF SOUTHERN CALIFORNIA CROP ANAHEIM AND NEIGHBORING ASSOCIATIONS WILL SHIP HALF MILLION DOLLAR OUTPUT This week sees the beginning of the walnut harvest, which promises to be one of the most profitable in recent history of that industry. The total value of the crop in Southern California will go over $3,000,000. Orange county growers will produce upward of a million dollars worth of walnuts and plantations in and about this city, Orangethorpe, Fullerton, Placentia and La Habra will total more than half this latter figure.

Of the bridges there are none provided for in the north, whereas about two-thirds of the bridge money should come this way. In the past four years the taxes in the county for county purposes alone, not including state, have increased from $233,605.05 to $457,395.27, being 109 per cent; south of Santa Ana, 66 per cent; north of Santa Ana increased in same time 166 per cent. Increase in county past year, 24 per cent; increase south, past year, 17 per cent; increase north, past year, 37 per cent. Current expense account has increased in four years from $57,617.36 to $179,011.23, being 211 per cent; increase south, four years, 150 per cent; increase north, four years, 288 per cent. Increase past year, in county, $40,086.65, being 29 per cent; increase past year, south, 22 per cent; increase past year, north, 43 per cent. Of the over $40,000 increase in the current expense fund for this year over $27,000 comes from the north end. The amount asked for by the coast promoters from this fund being $38,497, is greater than would be the yearly principal on the whole county road bond were these to run 40 years, as this would amount to but $31,750 per year. Furthermore, we desire to state that we have pressing needs in the Anaheim district for the proper proportionate amount of all money that can be spared from the current expense fund for road purposes. These needs can be summarized in stating there are about 25 miles of new roads east and south of Anaheim that need grading and oiling. Then there are other roads in a most deplorable condition that need attention. Finally, the Olive bridge is soon going to collapse and must be replaced. PULP DRYER BURNED OUT Sugar Factory Suffers Slight Loss in Mill North of Town The pulp dryer at the Anaheim sugar factory was burned out several days ago, entailing a loss of several thousand dollars. Repairs were immediately made and the dryer is now in working condition again. In consequence of the accident which was due to the melting of bricks by excessive heat, a quantity of plup was precipi- tated from the mill. The factory has had some trouble with its waste water, which accounts for odors arising therefrom. This week sees the beginning of the walnut harvest, which promises to be one of the most profitable in recent history of that industry. The total value of the crop in Southern California will go over $3,000,000. Orange county growers will produce upward of a million dollars worth of walnuts and plantations in and about this city, Orangethorpe, Fullerton, Placentia and La Habra will total more than half this latter figure. The crop is lighter than last year, but quality is equal to that of last season, which was the best in many years. Prices have not yet been set, but the association will probably agree upon figures early in October. It is believed prices will range up to those of last year which were 14 cents for first-class softshells, and in some sections it is held, the rate may be a shade higher. Growers have discarded the old method of fixing prices and will this year proceed in like manner to the citrus growers' exchange. In former years prices agreed upon between growers and brokers were subjected to a cut if market conditions failed, while on the other hand, if markets strengthened, brokers received the advance. Last year after the brokers agreed to take the entire association's crop, markets weakened and they asked low rates. When this was refused them by growers, a large part of the crop went into warehouses. Thousands of tons were thus held in storage until recently. Last week the Anaheim association sold 100 tons at 13 cents, cleaning up last season's output. Money from this sale coming here aggregates $26,000. The number of nuts held in warehouses since the slump in price last winter, was a large portion of the total output and more than a million dollars were thus tied up. These nuts are now moving out freely, and will probably be entirely disposed of before the new crop is ready for sale. "Purchasers of nuts this year will receive more for their money than in any former season," said J. B. Neff, who began harvesting operations in his large orchard southwest of town on Monday. "Shells are thinner than I ever saw them before while meats are fully up to the high standard scored last year. Quality of last season's output was the best in many years, but this year's crop is, so far as I can learn, fully up to that standard. The crop is shorter than last year, and I think that satisfactory prices will be received. We have discarded antiquated methods of disposing of our crop, and will henceforth market along plans so successfully in use by the citrus growers."

In consequence of the accident which was due to the melting of bricks by excessive heat, a quantity of plup was precipi- tated from the mill. The factory has had some trouble with its waste water, which accounts for odors airsing therefrom. President Peck is on the grounds and is doing all in his power to remedy the defect, and states he will soon have all discharges scientifically taken care of to the end that no disagreeable odors may arise. While some objectionable odor has been apparent in some quarters, the concensus of opinion-in town is not to harshly criticize the management but give them time in which to remedy the defect. This Mr. Peck states will be done at the earliest possible moment. WOMAN STABBED?—NIX Officers Make Quick Trip to Mexican Quarters on Hurry-up Call Marshal Kellenberger and Officer Bud Sackett made a speedy get-away from the city hall Friday morning in response to a telephone message that a Mexican woman had been stabbed to death at the corner of Clementina and Santa Ana streets. Their auto reached the place designated in record time. They found a Mexican woman with a babe in her arms lamenting the death of her sister. She was wildly walking up and down Clementina street near her residence. A neighbor hearing the woman's cries telephoned the marshal's office that a woman had been stabbed to death. On questioning the distracted woman, Marshal Kellenberger learned that she had just received a letter from Mexico advising her of the death of her sister. The officers beat it back to the city hall. Monday. "Shells are thinner than I ever saw them before while meats are fully up to the high standard scored last year. Quality of last season's output was the best in many years, but this year's crop is, so far as I can learn, fully up to that standard. The crop is shorter than last year, and I think that satisfactory prices will be received. We have discarded antiquated methods of disposing of our crop, and will henceforth market along plans so successfully in use by the citrus growers. I look for better results all around and I believe conditions East are such as to warrant the hope that the entire crop will be moved before Christmas." TRINDLE TAKEN HOME Burned Boy Recovering—Skin-Grafting Was Successful Clarence Trindle was Sunday morning removed to his home on Broadway from the sanitarium. where he has been for almost three months. The skin-grafting done on the burned portions of his body several days ago has proved very successful and the burns are healing. It is expected that more grafting will have to be done a little later on burned areas not yet healing. Trindle has been required to lay still in bed so long that he can not move his limbs and he was taken home on a stretcher. INJURED USING DYNAMITE E. Borchert, of West Anaheim, narrowly escaped accidental death on Friday afternoon. He had prepared a barbacue for several former college chums and while using dynamite to break a stump for fuel was struck so violently by a flying piece of timber that for a few minutes it was thought he was dead. Since the accident he has been under the care of physicians and hopes of his ultimate recovery are entertained. His collar bone was broken and internal organs badly injured.
