JACK FROST'S RECENT VISIT Washington experts on citrus and deciduous fruit crop conditions say that even if the reports of the recent damage from frost in Southern California are not greatly exaggerated, the California growers have much room for consolation. They point out that in the Florida freeze of 1895 there was not only the destruction of the ripening crop, but a wiping out of the entire citrus industry. The freeze not only destroyed the oranges, but included the trees in the damage, necessitating the creation of the orchards anew. In all sections of the United States, destructive frosts in the blooming period are frequent. Two years ago the entire peach crop of Georgia was wiped out by spring frosts and similar experiences are of annual occurrence in various sections of the United States. The peach orchards of New England and western New York together with those of Virginia, West Virginia and Georgia, live in terror of destruction of their crops by the frosts of early spring. Last spring, practically all the orchards in the vicinity of Washington were rendered valueless by the cold wave which ran late into the season. The Eastern cherry crop is a frequent frost victim, the entire prospective crop being wiped out at intervals by the destruction of the spring blossoms by frost. In the apple orchards of the Ozarks BIG GAME HUNTERS RESCUED ON DESERT Distress Message Reaches City, Heiny Braden Beats It Into the Wilds Heiny Braden left this city on Monday afternoon at 3 o'clock in a Studebaker 20 in response to a message brought from Fred Weisel that the latter was stranded on the desert at a point 65 miles east of San Diego, and asking for assistance. Weisel left in company of Earl Crist and Carl Jacobson on Friday on a big game hunt in the desert wilds beyond San Diego. They had reached a point 65 miles east of that city when their car broke down and they were unable to proceed further. To add to their discomforts a band of tramps came along and dispoiled the kids of their commissary department. A passing auto brought a distress message here on Monday at noon. Braden set out at 3 o'clock in a high power Studebaker car, accompanied by J. E. Strong, plentifully equipped with provisions and medical supplies. He headed for San Diego, making record time to that city and turned into the east stretch late in the evening. He arrived at the kids' camp at 1 o'clock on Tuesday morning. They had been without food for three days and were on the verge of serious illness. They were overjoyed to see him. He gave them stimulants and food and soon had them in revived condition. The return trip was taken up the following day and the big game hunters arrived in town in the afternoon a little worse for wear. The only big game they saw on the trip was the bunch of hobos who took their provisions away from them. How many of them they killed they refused to state. When Heiny appeared at their camp they were preparing to retire for the night. They threw their arms about LOCAL LEGISLATIVE INVESTIGATION H. V.

VanEtten Address at C.Monday The lecture of this by Captain VanEtten church Monday night interesting, and enation of the war which experienced. His stall present, from time to time to the aged veterans wrapped attention At times his audience Last spring, practically all the orchards in the vicinity of Washington were rendered valueless by the cold wave which ran late into the season. The Eastern cherry crop is a frequent frost victim, the entire prospective crop being wiped out at intervals by the destruction of the spring blossoms by frost. In the apple orchards of the Ozarks the same menace is continually threatening the orchardists. In the Pacific Northwest, late cold snaps are a constant danger and smudging is necessary at frequent intervals and at a high cost to prevent a total destruction of the blossoms. In Washington the freeze in Southern California is regarded as one of the unexpected catastrophes with which all industries are occasionally overcome. The fact that such abnormal weather has not been experienced for twenty years and that it may not occur again in the same period causes Eastern orchardists to look lightly on what seems serious trouble to California citrus growers. "They seem to be somewhat dazed out there," said a Washington official the first of the week, who formerly owned a large peach orchard in the East. “If California citrus growers had my experience with the frost they would regard their recent experience more lightly. For nearly thirty years I never knew until the spring was over whether I was going to have a crop or not. My entire crop was wiped out by spring frosts five times, and a number of other years the crop was partly destroyed. If I had an orchard in a locality where freezes did not come oftener than twenty years or so I would regard it as an earthly paradise.” All the continents, with the possible exception of South America, contain areas of dry land which are below sea level. In North America, the lowest point is in Death Valley, California, 276 feet below sea level; but this is a slight depression compared to the basin of the Dead Sea, in Palestine, Asia, where the lowest dry-land point is 1,290 feet below sea level. In Africa the lowest point is in the Desert of Sahara, about 150 feet below sea level, but the Sahara as a whole is not below sea level, although until recently the greater part of it was supposed to be. In Europe the lowest point at present known is on the shores of the Caspian Sea, 86 feet below sea level. In Australia the success. They were overjoyed to see him. He gave them stimulants and food and soon had them in revived condition. The return trip was taken up the following day and the big game hunters arrived in town in the afternoon a little worse for wear. The only big game they saw on the trip was the bunch of hobos who took their provisions away from them. How many of them they killed they refused to state. When Heiny appeared at their camp they were preparing to retire for the night. They threw their arms about his neck and declared he was the best old scout who ever lived. ONE CHARGE DISMISSED ANOTHER BROUGHT Man Who Smashed Jail Will Now Go Before the Superior Court for Trial Edward Holt, the man who made himself notorious here three weeks ago by breaking the water pipes in the city jail, setting the bed clothing afire, and then after being rescued just in time to save his life, pleaded not guilty to the charge and demanded a jury trial, was brought up for his trial in Justice Howard’s court Monday morning. Twelve jurymen, good and true, were rounded up by Officer Sackett and these gentleman were seated in the court room from 10 o’clock until 11, when the prisoner was brought in by Marshal Kellenberger, who had gone to Santa Ana for that purpose. District Attorney Koepsel and Under Sheriff Law were present, the former representing the state as the prosecuting officer. Justice of the Peace Howard explained to the prisoner that the charge under which he was under arrest was malicious mischief, brought against him for breaking and destroying property not his own. He went on further to state that a felony charge might have been brought against him for doing this damage to a jail. He then explained to the prisoner that the more serious charge had not been brought on account of leniency and advised him to plead guilty to the malicious mischief charge and take the nominal punishment which would be meted out to him, rather than continue the trial and perhaps have the felony charge filed against him. To this the prisoner replied that he did not think he should plead guilty to doing anything when he did not know he did it, and did not desire to plead guilty. He admitted that he was under the influence of liquor at the time he did the damage, and was not sure he was the guilty party. Capt. O. R.

Walker, principal of the Anaheim Union High School, who has been confined to his residence for some weeks past by illness, contemplates leaving in the near future for a visit to Arizona, where he hopes to recuperate his scattered forces. That Prof. Walker has been seriously ill since his return from a Long Beach sanitarium, where he recently spent several weeks, was not generally known, and that he intends to depart from this city even for a temporary stay will cause regret. He was stricken with illness last fall, having been in poor health for some months previous thereto, owing to close application at the high school and long period of overwork. He hopes to regain his health by a stay in the higher altitudes of the interior and contemplates returning in time to resume his position with the opening of the term next fall. That he may be able to do so is the sincere wish of his many friends throughout the district. He has been principal of the high school for a number of years and his teaching has given universal satisfaction to parents and pupils. He will be accompanied to Arizona by Mrs. Walker and the smaller children. BOYS TAKE AUTO J. B. Andrews' Regal car was taken from its garage on North Palm street Tuesday afternoon by the two Fletcher boys, aged 18 and 10 years. They drove toward Los Angeles and it is said they intend going to San Francisco. Mr. Andrews notified Marshal Kellenberger and left for Los Angeles on the train to intercept the kids.

VanEtten Delivers Inspiring Address at Christian Church Monday Night The lecture of the Civil War given by Captain VanEtten in the Christian church Monday night was a thrilling, interesting, and entertaining description of the war which he saw and experienced. His stirring words caused all present, from the small school boy to the aged veteran, to give their wrapped attention for two solid hours. At times his audience were convulsed CHURCH NOTES METHODIST EPISCOPAL "The Best Man in Anaheim." Not who is the richest or the poorest, the most learned or illiterate, the most wise or most foolish, but the vital question is one of real character. On Sunday morning at 11 A. M. the pastor of the Methodist church, the Rev. C. H. M. Sutherland, will discuss the subject, "The Best Man in Anaheim," and the subject at 7:30 P. M., "The Worst Man in Anaheim." At the 11 A. M. service besides the anthem by the choir, Mr. and Mrs. A. G. Phillips, the sweet singers of Placentia, will sing a duet. The song service at 7:30 P. M. The choir will sing the great chorus, "Diadem." This music was written by a Welsh coal miner who chalked the notes out on the black coal walls in the bowels of the earth. The pit boss discharged the music writer because he gave too much time, as he thought, to music and too little to mining coal. A short time afterwards the pit boss heard a choir sing "Diadem," and like all true Welshmen, being a lover of music, he inquired as to the author, and finding out who it was, he sought him out and re-engaged the coal miner, giving him a better position.- Hear this chorus Sunday night. The Sunday school is steadily growing in attendance and interest. You will be welcomed to the Bible study on Sunday at 9:50 A. M., Geo. M. Tedrick superintendent. The Epworth League had a record attendance last Sunday, crowding into the body of the church. Mr. Ferdinand Larsen will lead next Sunday. Topic, "The Social Goal," or "Earth as it is in Heaven," Matt. 6:10; Gal. 6:2. A great subject. Come! The regular monthly business and social meeting of the league next Monday evening at the parsonage. A cor ANNUAL BANQUET OF BOARD OF TRADE Great Preparations Making For Best Affair in Its History Preparations are making for the annual banquet of the Anaheim Board of Trade which is to be held in the Oyster Loaf cafe next Tuesday evening, January 21, 7:30 o'clock. Secretary Ahlborn has been active in making arrangements for the affair and it is expected to be the best affair ever held by the organization. A number of good speakers have been called upon for toasts, and some good live ones are looked for. The indications are that a record attendance will be had, and plans are being made for the accommodation of about 125 guests. Earl Abbey and Chas. Eygabroad have charge of the sale of tickets and a number of them have been placed in the stores for sale. There is likely to be a demand for the tickets greater than the supply and those wishing to attend had better get their tickets at once. This should be done at once also, so that adequate preparations may be made for the accommodation of all who attend. Chas. Eygabroad is the toastmaster of the occasion. Toasts will be responded to as follows: 1. The year of 1912, President W. P. Quarton. 2. On the Trolley Line, J. W. Duckworth. 3. The New Citizen, Mrs. Ida Tipton, President Ebell Club. 4. Just Humans, Prof. J. L. Van Derveer. 5. The Man of the Cloth, Rev. David Todd Gillmor. 6. Wanted—A Tea Party, A. A. Mills. 7. As Seen by an Outsider, H. S. Hadsall. by Prof. Tiedemann's orchestra. Musical selections will be rendered by Prof. Tiedeman's orchestra. Capt. O. R. VanEtten Delivers Inspiring Address at Christian Church Monday Night The lecture of the Civil War given by Captain VanEtten in the Christian church Monday night was a thrilling, interesting, and entertaining description of the war which he saw and experienced. His stirring words caused all present, from the small school boy to the aged veteran, to give their wrapped attention for two solid hours. At times his audience were convulsed with laughter at the captain's experiences and again they would weep over the severity of trial and sorrow. Such a description as the captain gave of the war can not be found in books of history or on record. If it should be found it would lack the personal magnetism and pleasing personality of the speaker. To give one an idea of the severity of the conflicts of some of the battles, the captain told of a horse found after a fight that by actual count had 369 bullet holes shot through it during the battle,—and it was dead. He made all his discriptions of conflicts, battles and sieges so realistic that some of the old soldiers present sat and wept as well as the younger generation, through their sympathy and reverence for the patriotism of the "boys in blue" who made our present conditions of freedom and personal liberty possible. The ability of Captain VanEtten as a platform lecturer is probably excelled by none of his age in America. When he returns to our town, (which we hope he will), he may have the ears of the hundreds instead of the scores who were so highly honored with a privilege of hearing his able addresses of instruction and inspiration. DRAW POKER AT BREA CAUSE OF OFFICIAL RAID O. M. Cowden Placed Under Arrest on Misdemeanor Charge Another gambling game at Brea was raided on Monday night. Two weeks ago H. L. Enoch was arrested and pleaded guilty to running a crap game. Enoch paid a fine of $200. Monday night Enoch's partner, O. M. Cowden, was arrested and is charged with running a game of draw poker. Enoch and Cowden run a poolroom. At the rear of it is a small room in which the crap game was operated. Monday night Under Sheriff Law got word that a poker game was in operation. Law, Constable Heard and Deputy Jailer Dean rode to Brea in an automobile, and were met by Jeffing in attendance and interest. You will be welcomed to the Bible study on Sunday at 9:50 A.M., Geo. M. Tedrick superintendent. The Epworth League had a record attendance last Sunday, crowding out into the body of the church. Mr. Ferdinand Larsen will lead next Sunday.

CHRISTIAN CHURCH The lecture given last Lord's day morning at the Christian church by Miss Eva Clarck of Allabad, India, was very instructive as well as entertaining.

STOLE MILLS' CHICKENS Gang of Roost-Raiders Visit Barnyard of Distinguished Professor What appears to be an organized gang of chicken thieves has been operating around Anaheim, Fullerton and Placentia. Some of the gang were out Saturday night between midnight and day-break, and they got away with about three dozen Rhode Island Red STOLE MILLS' CHICKENS Gang of Roost-Raiders Visit Barnyard of Distinguished Professor What appears to be an organized gang of chicken thieves has been operating around Anaheim, Fullerton and Placentia. Some of the gang were out Saturday night between midnight and day-break, and they got away with about three dozen Rhode Island Red chickens and four turkeys, and possibly more poultry than has been reported as missing. From the A. A. Mills ranch near the Anaheim sugar factory 14 Rhode Island Red chickens were stolen. A. Goodwin is missing 15 or 16 chickens of the same kind. Mrs. Wright is loser three turkey gobblers and one turkey hen. Deputy Sheriff Law and Constable Heard made an investigation with the result that no definite claws were secured, though they found tracks around the three poultry yards from which poultry had been stolen. In each instance the thieves carried their plunder across orchard ground to a wagon awaiting them on a near-by road. The neighborhood has been pestered by chicken thieves for some time. Six weeks ago chickens were stolen from the ranches of A. Goodwin's two sons. A marriage license was issued on Tuesday to Arthur McAulay and Miss Jessie Chase, both of this city, and as far as can be learned they were married at Santa Ana Tuesday evening. They are both well and favorably known here and have the best wishes of a large number of friends in their matrimonial venture. Start the New Year right; buy a sack of Sperry's Best Family Flour. It never fails. County Horticultural Commissioner R. K. Bishop, of Santa Ana, and Horticultural Inspector J. J. Schneider, of this city, were called to the packing house of the Independent Fruit Company on the Southern Pacific tracks yesterday morning by the report that scale-infected fruit was being packed there. A report had been circulated about town that scale and frozen oranges were being shipped into this city from the neighborhood of Downey, packed here and sent out as Anaheim grown oranges. As the local fruit is not frozen, it was thought this might injure the reputation of Anaheim oranges in the markets. Upon investigation Messrs. Schneider and Bishop found that while the fruit is frozen to some extent, no live scale existed upon it, and consequently the packing on that account could not be stopped. Mr. Schneider informed a representative of the Gazette yesterday that the oranges are not being sent out as Anaheim fruit as the labels bear only the name of the Independent Fruit Company and states that the fruit is grown in California. The fruit is shipped here for packing as here is located the nearest packing house of the company.
