STATE HIGHWAY CONSTRUCTION MAY CEASE BOND BUYERS REFUSE TO PURCHASE 4 PER CENT SECURITIES STATE COMMISSION WILL ISSUE APPEAL TO LOCAL CAPITALISTS AND BANKERS Work of the state highway commission is being delayed and may be temporarily suspended shortly unless an allotment of the 4 per cent bonds voted by the people can be sold immediately. This is the statement of Commissioner Newell D. Darlington, made in Los Angeles this week in discussing the present status of the highway project of California. Commissioner Darlington has evolved a plan for disposing of the necessary amount of bonds through financiers, bankers and wealthy men in the several counties where work is to be done by the commission, and if his plan is successful there will be no difficulty. There is also a hope that bond buyers will look more favorably on the bonds when the holidays are passed and business settles down to the normal again. The real reason for the small demand for these bonds is that they pay but 4 per cent, while very few municipal or private corporation securities are offered at less than 4½ or 5 per cent. CELERY IS DAMAGED Cold Snap Nips Growing Celery in the Peatlands Section The Celery Growers' Association of Smeltzer shipped about 100 cars of fine celery, for the holiday trade, for which the prices ranged from 20 to 30 cents per dozen bunches. The recent cold weather has done considerable damage to the celery and has put the association out of the running for the present; so far as first grade celery is concerned. The frost has done more damage than during any year since the association was organized 11 years ago. In the year of organization the growers suffered heavy loss by a hard freeze. Practically all the celery has been nipped and reduced to third grade. First grade will be available in February if good rains and warm weather follow at once. Shipping of third grade will be continued at the present time if the markets warrant. The market conditions will depend on whether or not first grade celery has been held in storage. If none has been held there is certain to be some demand for the third grade product. If the cold snap prevails in the northern celery section that product will be out of the market until February. There are about 1,400 acres in celery in Orange county, of which 70 per cent is in the association. KINDNESS REWARDED Alan Mansur Remembered by Aged Man He Befriended A little over a year ago Alan Mansur, son of O. E. Mansur, secretary of the Santa Ana Valley Irrigation Company, was an attendant in the Marine hospital in San Francisco. While there he was lucky enough to befriend an The real reason for the small demand for these bonds is that they pay but 4 per cent, while very few municipal or private corporation securities are offered at less than 4½ or 5 per cent. There is no better bond, the experts declare, than a state highway issue, but the interest is so low that the demand has to be particularly active to gain low-interest securities a market. Just at present the country's bond markets happen to be moving slowly. The state's 4 per cent highway bonds are awaiting takers, with no offers. The commission decided last week at the regular monthly meeting to sell $400,000 worth of bonds to provide funds for proceeding with the work of road building in the state. But offering bonds and selling them seem to be two different things. If negotiations now pending fail Commissioner Darlington believes the commission will attempt to interest country bankers to take up small allotments to prevent the serious delay of the work. "Los Angeles and San Francisco counties will undoubtedly be the greatest beneficiaries of the work of our commission," said Mr. Darlington, "and I believe these cities should be willing to take care of a large share of the bonds if we have to sell them in this way. The fact that we are building very little road in either county seems to us to be immaterial. San Francisco and Los Angeles are the centers to which the countryside comes, and every dollar expended in making approach to the cities easier or cheaper or more practicable is one dollar contributed toward the prosperity of the two big cities. I believe that the bankers and financiers of the two cities will see this and come to our aid if the bond buyers continue to refuse our offerings. "State highway bonds are gilt-edged, but the interest is low, and when the market slackens the low-interest bonds are the first to suffer. I would not have you print anything to make investors think there is anything wrong with these bonds. There is not. But 4 per cent bonds go a-begging when investors can buy 5 per cent bonds. If we appeal to the counties that are to be benefited by the work of the commission in com- KINDNESS REWARDED Alan Mansur Remembered by Aged Man He Befriended A little over a year ago Alan Mansur, son of O. E. Mansur, secretary of the Santa Ana Valley Irrigation Company, was an attendant in the Marine hospital in San Francisco. While there he was lucky enough to befriend an aged man who was in the hospital for treatment, and as a result of this kindness he will probably come into possession of one-half of the sum of $50,000, which an aeroplane company has paid for an attachment for aeroplanes, which is the invention of the old man. Mansur and a companion not only took care of the old man when sick, but befriended him in other ways, giving him food, clothing and shelter. The aged man has died recently, and Mansur has just been told of his good fortune. Mansur is only about 20 years old, and was married to a San Bernardino girl about three months ago. Erecting Homes La Habra has grown to be quite a village with the new homes erected by the Glazier Brothers, Emery DeGray, T. L. Jackson, J. G. Sargent and several others. Then the handsome new ranch house of Jacob Luitwiller on the old Espoit place, that is ready for occupancy. F. W. Bishop's improvements on his house are lasting and artistic with cobblestone retaining walls and wide porches, it is one of the most attractive bungalows in the valley. J. H. Walker has remodeled and enlarged his home, making a very pretty and commodious cottage, and the new cottage just about completed by Harry Aldrich must not be forgotten. Proposed Marriage Laws State Senator J. N. Anderson has made an appointment for a conference with Dr. Doyle of Santa Ana and Dr. Johnston of this city for the discussion of a measure that they want Anderson to present in the next Legislature. The measure proposes that the marrying of any person afflicted with tuberculosis and some other diseases be prohibited and that an applicant for a marriage license must present to the county clerk a certificate of good health issued by a physician. Anderson states that he has been asked to present a law which, if passed, will compel electric companies operating suburban lines to provide all passenger cars with toilet accommodations. Woman Robbed at Santa Ana Mrs. Mamie Townsend, of Santa Black, $6,075; B. W. H. G. Melcher, $7,086; E. W. Smith McMillan, $6,900; O Anderson & Bolyard & Mitchell, $6,397; $5,478.46.

The following bid bonds were received "State highway bonds are gilt-edged, but the interest is low, and when the market slackens the low-interest bonds are the first to suffer. I would not have you print anything to make investors think there is anything wrong with these bonds. There is not. But 4 per cent bonds go a-begging when investors can buy 5 per cent bonds. If we appeal to the counties that are to be benefited by the work of the commission in completing a chain of highways up and down the state, we believe that they will respond at once. One county has already offered to do this, and others are in line. I hope to see Los Angeles and San Francisco behind us, and we will have to appeal to them soon if the bonds do not move. "We have sold $2,000,000 worth of bonds already, out of the issue of $18,000,000, and are now offering $400,000 more. Work on about 150 miles of road can be started at once if we can get money with which to pay the contractors. We have funds sufficient to cover all expenses heretofore incurred, but cannot let contracts for additional milage until we have the money to meet the costs. If the counties will take this matter up there need be no delay in this work." Says Grandmother Had Life Estate Charles L. Horton, of Orange, has brought suit against T. A. Winbigler as administrator of the estate of Lucy J. Brown, deceased, grandmother of the plaintiff, to quiet title to 30.37 acres. Horton asserts in his complaint that Mrs. Brown, the grandmother, had only a life estate in the property from Horton's mother. Horton was a contestant for letters of administration in the Brown estate, but failed to get them. Tipton & Cailor are his attorneys.

Anderson states that he has been asked to present a law which, if passed, will compel electric companies operating suburban lines to provide all passenger cars with toilet accommodations. Woman Robbed at Santa Ana Mrs. Mamie Townsend, of Santa Ana, reported to the police there on Saturday evening that a hold-up man robbed her of some money after he had walked along with her for four blocks. She stated that when she left home Saturday evening she had $3.20 in her purse. She spent 50 cents. She says she was returning home after attending a moving picture show and had reached a point in the 900 block on North Ross when a man stepped up to her and said: "Give me the rest of that money." She had her hand-bag over her arm, and turned to run back toward town. The man held on to the bag, and drew out a big black revolver. The woman screamed to a man she saw standing across the street to come and help her, but he did not move. Mrs. Townsend walked south on Ross street to Fifth street, the man continuing to hold on to her arm and handbag. At Fifth street he managed to open the hand-bag, took out some money and a baby ring and left. Mrs. Townsend informed the officers. She was almost hysterical, and a physician was called to attend to her. She had $1.26 left in her purse. City Marshal Jernigan made an investigation of the matter. Mrs. Townsend was unable to give an accurate description of the man. Notice is hereby hereby annual meeting of the Anaheim poration, will be held of January, 1913, at its office, No. 118 in the City of Anaheim range, State of California.

NOTICE OF REGULAR MEETING OF STOCKHOLDERS Notice is hereby given that the regular annual meeting of the stockholders of the Anaheim Sanitarium, a corporation, will be held on the 16th day of January, 1913, at 10 o'clock A. M., at its office, No. 118 Hermine street, in the City of Anaheim, County of Orange, State of California. C. E. HOLCOMB, Secretary. Will Set Out Trees From 125 to 150 acres of Valencia oranges will be set out on the Bixby ranch at Villa Park next year if the present plans of H. T. Thomson, manager of the ranch, do not go astray. The tract which it is proposed to develop lies in a little valley north of the ranch house. A well is being put down and it is hoped to secure sufficient water to irrigate the tract. The well is being drilled on the Willard Smith place, where a successful well has already been brought in, and it is believed that the well will furnish the necessary water. Temperature tests have been made during the present cold weather on all parts of the tract, and the coldest registered at any point was 30 degrees, whereas the average minimum temperature found was 42. The tract is therefore considered practically frostless, as the temperature may descend to 26 degrees before serious damage is done. It is estimated that the development of the tract will cost in the neighborhood of $20,000, which would be but a fraction of its value in bearing trees. Walnut Men Meet Planning to fight any lowering of the tariff on foreign-grown walnuts, the directors of the California Walnut Growers' Association held several hours' executive session in Los Angeles on Saturday. The fight to be made before Congress was outlined. Representative walnut growers were present. The meeting of walnut men is in charge of the California Walnut Growers' Association, of which C. C. Keague of Santa Paula is president. Prominent members of the other associations of walnut growers were present. With an industry representing crops valued at nearly $2,000,000, and with many millions of dollars invested in walnut orchards and equipment, the walnut men are planning the fight of their and the owner will return them at the reward. Notify Hammer Roberts, 35 Bank street, Bridgeport, Conn., care of Wilson. "Be sure answer at once before they will be sold." Bridgeport is the winter quarters of the circus. It is thought that the piece of jewelry was picked up by someone connected with the circus, and that it has been held until now, perhaps when the person who has it has finished the season with the circus. Mrs. Cavins stated that she would take the matter up with her attorney. No reward was ever offered. So far as can be learned none of those who were injured in the fall of the circus grandstand has received damages from the circus. The settlement with claimants has been the subject of a number of letters written from the East. The last heard from Mr. Cook, who represented the circus, was about November 20, stating that he would be back in a few days. Pay Inheritance Tax Paul Haugh, as executor of the estate of the late D.
