THIRD DISTRICT ROAD MONEY INCREASED
ENTITLED TO 37 PER CENT OF COUNTY ROAD FUND, HAS BEEN GIVEN FROM 20 TO 25 P. C.
WILL IN FUTURE RECEIVE MORE THAN ORANGE AND HUNTINGTON BEACH COMBINED
Supervisor William Schumacher of the third district, is losing no time in redeeming his pledge to the people that he would, if elected, see to it that road districts in the northern part of Orange county shall in future receive their just proportion of county road money. At a meeting of the supervisors held on Tuesday, revised figures of assessed valuation showed that the third supervisor district was entitled to 37 per cent of the county road fund, whereas in the past it has been receiving from 20 to 25 per cent of the fund. For many years the board of trade of this city and chamber of commerce of Fullerton has insisted that insufficient road funds were allotted moneys from the county road fund.
That the fifth supervisor district, composed of Tustin, San Juan, and other precincts, is entitled to 28 per cent, while figures show the district has, like the second and fourth districts, overdrawn road moneys rightfully belonging to it.
It will be seen from these figures that while roads in the third supervisor district are entitled to receive more money than the Orange and Huntington Beach districts combined, they have in past years been allotted less money than either one of these two. Roads in these two districts have been adequately cared for, and many thousands of dollars in excess of what was legally coming to them have been appropriated to those districts by the board of supervisors. The board of trade of this city and the chamber of commerce of Fullerton, have for years insisted that roads in this section have been neglected, and they insist that Mr. Schumacher stand by his present policy of seeing that a square deal be given the people in the matter of county roads. This Mr. Schumacher has promised to do, and so long as he continues to carry out this policy, he will have strong supporters in both these civic organizations as well as from the great body of people traveling over the county roads.

Orange county shall in future receive their just proportion of county road money. At a meeting of the supervisors held on Tuesday, revised figures of assessed valuation showed that the third supervisor district was entitled to 37 per cent of the county road fund, whereas in the past it has been receiving from 20 to 25 per cent of the fund. For many years the board of trade of this city and chamber of commerce of Fullerton has insisted that insufficient road funds were allotted to this end of the county and that poor roads in this district followed as an inevitable result. It seems that while roads in the third supervisor district were thus inadequately cared for, roads in other supervisor districts, notably the Tustin and Huntington Beach districts, received moneys largely in excess of what was really due them. These figures were brought out at a meeting of the board of supervisors held last week, when Mr. Schumacher steadfastly refused to vote in favor of appropriating $20,000 from the current expense fund for construction of a coast line boulevard from Bay City to San Juan. The board had previously, at an informal session, voted four to one in favor of this appropriation. Delegations of tax payers from this city, Fullerton, Buena Park, La Habra, Placentia and other points in the third supervisor district appeared before the board at this conference, and protested against this appropriation, which was merely an entering wedge to larger appropriations to follow in succeeding years. They pointed out the fact that the Huntington Beach district had already largely overdrawn the amount of money rightfully accruing to it and entered emphatic protest to this further allotment. Advocates of the coast line boulevard appeared before the board, advocating this appropriation, and as a result of their presentation of the case, the board informally voted four to one, to make this appropriation. Mr. Schumacher looked up the law and found that an appropriation of money from the current expense fund to any road district in the county could be made only by unanimous vote of the board of supervisors. At a meeting of the board following the informal conference, advocates of the coast line boulevard attempted to vote in favor of making the appropriation. Mr. Schumacher pointed out the fact that such appropriation could not be made without unanimous consent of the board, and as he absolutely refused to vote in favor of it, the proposition was lost.
Mr. Schumacher contended that they insist that Mr. Schumacher stand by his present policy of seeing that a square deal be given the people in the matter of county roads. This Mr. Schumacher has promised to do, and so long as he continues to carry out this policy, he will have strong supporters in both these civic organizations as well as from the great body of people traveling over the county roads.
The appropriation of $20,000 for a coast boulevard was attempted to be made by the board of supervisors last week in return for a promise by coast boulevardiers that they would, in such an event, withdraw their threat of injunction proceedings against the state highway commission from routing the state road along the inland highway through this county. This road passes through Anaheim, Fullerton, Santa Ana, Tustin, and San Juan. The coast people, representing less than 15 per cent of the assessed valuation of Orange county, demanded that the state highway through Orange county be constructed along the coast line. When the state highway commission declined to comply with their request, they threatened injunction proceedings to prevent construction of the highway along the inland route. Following this, the state highway commission found it impossible to dispose of state highway bonds. The commission thereupon requested local banks throughout the state to come to their assistance and at a recent meeting of the state commission at Sacramento $800,000 of highway bonds were purchased by bankers in many of the counties throughout the state. The state highway commission has agreed to expend this money in counties where local banks have subscribed for bonds in sufficient amount to construct the state road through those counties.
Orange county bankers have not yet subscribed for any of these state bonds. Another offer of $800,000 of state highway bonds will be submitted to purchasers in the near future, and it is hoped that Orange county financiers will see their way clear to take up a sufficient amount of these bonds for construction of the road through this county. The Riverside county bankers have subscribed for a large amount of these bonds, and it is more than likely that work upon the state road in that county will soon begin. It remains for Orange county financiers to come forward and follow the example of Riverside bankers, or Orange county may lose the state highway. It is known that the state bond value of $18,000,000 is insufficient to construct the roads in contemplation by the state highway commission, and unless Orange county financiers come they insist that Mr. Schumacher stand by his present policy of seeing that a square deal be given the people in the matter of county roads. This Mr. Schumacher has promised to do, and so long as he continues to carry out this policy, he will have strong supporters in both these civic organizations as well as from the great body of people traveling over the county roads.

made only by unanimous vote of the board of supervisors. At a meeting of the board following the informal conference, advocates of the coast line boulevard attempted to vote in favor of making the appropriation. Mr. Schumacher pointed out the fact that such appropriation could not be made without unanimous consent of the board, and as he absolutely refused to vote in favor of it, the proposition was lost.
Mr. Schumacher contended that roads in each supervisor district should be constructed out of money rightfully belonging to them, as based upon the assessed valuation of each district. He contended that this course had not been pursued by the supervisors, and demanded that figures be procured showing total assessed valuation of the county, and that rightful and legal appropriation of moneys be made to each supervisor district. A lengthy comparison of figures of the assessed valuation followed, at conclusion of which the following facts were arrived at:
That the third supervisor district, in which Anaheim, Fullerton, Placentia, Buena Park, La Habra, the oil fields, and other precincts are located, is entitled to 37 per cent of all moneys in the county road fund.
That the second supervisor district, composed of Huntington Beach and the peat land section is entitled to 21½ per cent of the county road fund, whereas figures show that in recent years it has largely overdrawn this account.
That the fourth supervisor district, composed of Orange, Olive, Yorba and other precincts, is entitled to 14 per cent of the county's road money. This district has also largely overdrawn this county. The Riverside county bankers have subscribed for a large amount of these bonds, and it is more than likely that work upon the state road in that county will soon begin. It remains for Orange county financiers to come forward and follow the example of Riverside bankers, or Orange county may lose the state highway. It is known that the state bond value of $18,000,000 is insufficient to construct the roads in contemplation by the state highway commission, and unless Orange county financiers come to the rescue and subscribe for a sufficient amount of bonds to build the road through Orange county at this time the state road may not come through this county at all. In that event, another county bond issue will have to be submitted to the people for raising money to build this main highway through the county at local expense.
Whether the coast line boulevardiers, now that Mr. Schumacher has stopped their attempted grab of money from the current expense fund, will renew their threats of injunction proceedings against the state highway commission remains to be seen. Should they follow that policy, the matter will be thrown into the courts and the inevitable result will be that Orange county will get no state road. Be that as it may, taxpayers in the third supervisor district will resolutely support Mr. Schumacher in his course, which meets with their hearty approval.
In this connection, it may be pointed out that serious consideration has been given throughout the third supervisor district of a readjustment of supervisorial lines in Orange county. The district having 37 per cent of as-

ANAHEIM GAZETE
ANAHEIM CALIFORNIA, THURSDAY, MARCH 13, 1913
FROSTLESS FRUIT BEING SHIPPED FROM ANAHEIM
LOCAL PACKING HOUSES WORKING OVERTIME TO FILL DEMAND FOR CLEAN FRUIT
FRUIT ASSOCIATION WILL SEND OUT A TOTAL OF 200 CARS THIS SEASON
That the freeze of January did very little damage in this section, and that the fruit here is in fine shape for the market, is proven by the activity of the local packing houses, which are working overtime to keep up with the demand for local-grown fruit. The three packing houses in the city ship out an average total of 20 carloads a week of the finest fruit ever grown in this section. Very little frost damage is noticeable anywhere, and it is estimated that less than 10 per cent of the total crop is hurt at all. Navels are being worked now, and this class of fruit will last until probably early in April, when the season for sweets, bloods, St. Michaels, and seedlings will start.
care of their orchards. Others will do well to follow their example, for the crop next year is apt to be light, and good prices will doubtless be obtained. Many groves in the frost-devastated upper valleys have been cut to the ground and will not be in bearing for several years, so those who have good fruit, will realize good prices on their product.
The Independent Fruit Company, with H. F. Parrent as local manager, is busily engaged in shipping out their "Golden Pheasant" brand of navels at the rate of four to six carloads a week. About 40 cars have been sent out to date this season and Mr. Parrent states that approximately 75 will be shipped out during the balance of the season. Very little frost is being noticed, the management only buying the fruit which proves, upon examination, to be entirely free from frost damage. The first fruit shipped out after the freeze was on February 28, when some of Mrs. Langenberger's fine fruit was sent out.
The Anaheim Orange Growers' Association is also packing only the best of fruit and good prices are being realized, as the opinion everywhere is that Anaheim has the best fruit to be had on the market. Forty-five cars have been sent out to date, and the fruit is now being shipped out at the rate of four carloads a week. Manager Geo. Maxfield states that the fruit is in the best of condition and that very little damaged fruit is found, the oranges
2 SUPERVISORS FAVORED AT MEETING
BOARD OF TRADE DISCUSSES IMPORTANT TOPIC AT SESSION ON MONDAY EVENING
FULLERTON AND PLACENTIA TAXPAYERS JOIN HEARTILY IN PROJECT TO REDISTRICT
A plan to petition the board of supervisors for redistricting of supervisorial lines in Orange county met with hearty indorsement at a meeting of the board of trade held on Monday evening. A representative gathering of citizens was present, including taxpayers from Fullerton and Placentia, who heartily approved of the measure. At adjournment of the board of trade's regular meeting, W. T. Brown, of Fullerton, was elected chairman of the meeting to consider the subject of revising supervisor district lines. A. A. Mills was elected secretary. A general discussion was had relative to redistricting the county along fair and
working overtime to keep up with the demand for local-grown fruit. The three packing houses in the city ship out an average total of 20 carloads a week of the finest fruit ever grown in this section. Very little frost damage is noticeable anywhere, and it is estimated that less than 10 per cent of the total crop is hurt at all. Navels are being worked now, and this class of fruit will last until probably early in April, when the season for sweets, bloods, St. Michaels, and seedlings will start in. The price is very good and the local shippers are receiving some of the highest prices being paid for fruit anywhere in the State.
At the plant of the Anaheim Fruit Association, a branch of the California' Fruit Growers' Exchange, a force of 25 is working to the limit of the house's capacity, and is turning out packed fruit at the rate of ten carloads a week. Besides this a force of pickers to the number of 20 is picking the fruit and sending it to the house for packing. The local association, together with other associations in the exchange, closed down its plant just after the cold spell of January 8, and did not ship any fruit until February 20, when a car of navels went to the Northern market. Manager Sandilands, in an interview, said that there were several causes which led to the cheap prices just after the freeze, chief among which were that immediately upon receipt of news of the freeze, all the fruit in cars in the East was bought up at very high prices, so high that when the fruit was placed on the local markets, little, was sold on account of the high price at which it was held, and also to the fact that some shippers sent out frosted fruit and got the public so affrighted at the idea of buying frosted fruit, that little California citrus fruit was sold for a time. Several cars of fruit from the upper valley was condemned in the East by doctors and boards of health, and had to be destroyed.
The local association waited until this fruit had been disposed of and after six weeks began packing again. Two weeks prior to that time, Mr. Sandilands sent out 14 boxes of fruit, of average grade taken from several orchards, to 14 points in the Eastern market as samples of the Anaheim orange. Without exception, reports came back that the fruit was satisfactory, and several large orders were received from parties, who had previous to that time, entertained the notion that the entire orange crop of the State had been destroyed. The receipts of the fruit from this city disproved this notion and orders began to come in thick with hearty indorsement at a meeting of the board of trade held on Monday evening. A representative gathering of citizens was present, including taxpayers from Fullerton and Placentia, who heartily approved of the measure. At adjournment of the board of trade's regular meeting, W. T. Brown, of Fullerton, was elected chairman of the meeting to consider the subject of revising supervisor district lines. A. A. Mills was elected secretary. A general discussion was had relative to redistricting the county along fair and square lines, and the consensus of opinion was that the county ought to be redistricted and if the people in this section don't do it, somebody else will, and we are liable to get the worst of it again. Mr. Mills stated that the supervisors are at present considering revising the supervisor district lines to suit themselves, Supervisor Talbert coming up on the west and taking a slice off the third district in the precincts of Buena Park, West Anaheim and Orangethorpe, and Supervisor Struck coming up on the east and taking Placentia and the old fields, and leaving the third district with Anaheim and Fullerton. Two shoestring strips would thus extend from northern end of the county to southern end. Even this, said Mills, would be better than the situation at present where we have one-third of the voters and 37 per cent of the assessed valuation and only one supervisor, but he thought the precincts in the northern part of the county would be kind of unwieldly and as the residents there would likely invoke the recall on the supervisor if he didn't do as they thought proper, it could be made rather interesting for him at least. Even so, he continued, somebody is going to redistrict, for the county could hardly be more unfairly districted than at present, and as somebody is going to do it, it would be far better for the people in this section to say where the boundaries should be than somebody residing in the other end of the county. If active steps are not taken at once by people in this section, the supervisors will redistrict to suit themselves, and Talbert and Struck will add to the assessable property in their respective districts by the addition of parts of the present third district. The plan is to circulate an initiative petition asking for a redistricting of the county and present the same to the board of supervisors for action. This board can either redistrict at once according to plans of the petition or it can refer the matter to the people for a vote. Mr. Mills thought the supervisors would not object to a fair and equitable redistrict.
DEATH OF MATLOCK CLEARS MYSTERY
Desperado Supposed Slayer of Sheriff Squires Dies in Los Angeles
Further evidence that the bandit who killed Under Sheriff Robert Squires in the battle at Tomato Springs on December 16, was Ira Jones and not Joe Matlock of Eugene, Ore., was brought to light this week through the death of Joe Matlock at the county hospital in Los Angeles. The father of Matlock is now on his way from Eugene, Ore., after the body and will take it back home for burial.
Notwithstanding the denial of the body of Ira Jones as Joe Matlock by the father and brother of the latter when they came to Santa Ana from Eugene, Ore., as the body, there were many local residents who believed the body to be that of Matlock. The strong resemblance in features, abdomen wounds, and the further fact that both men used the same fictitious name, C. C. Curran, were convincing proofs to many that Matlock and Jones were one and the same party.
The death of Matlock in Los Angeles clears the mystery.
Former residents of Eugene, who knew Matlock, identified the remains
Two weeks prior to that time, Mr. Sandilands sent out 14 boxes of fruit, of average grade taken from several orchards, to 14 points in the Eastern market as samples of the Anaheim orange. Without exception, reports came back that the fruit was satisfactory, and several large orders were received from parties, who had previous to that time, entertained the notion that the entire orange crop of the State had been destroyed. The receipts of the fruit from this city disproved this notion and orders began to come in thick and fast. The majority of the fruit is going out under the association's label of "Mother Colony" and "Carnival" standard brands and good prices are being received, as high as $3.00 a box f. o. b. Anaheim being received. Satisfactory reports from the association's various markets are being received on the grade of the fruit, and it is an admitted fact that Anaheim fruit ranks among the highest, only one or two, if any, other points being able to show such fruit as this city.
Mr. Sandilands states that his association has shipped a total of 58 cars to date and the prospect is that 150 more will be sent before the close of the season. Little scale is found on the fruit, and the fumigation of last year was so successful that those orchards fumigated last year, in the majority of cases, will not have to be so treated this year. The fumigating outfit will not start out until some time in June.
The association now has a force of men out spraying for red spider, and good success is being had combatting this pest. Over 100 tons of commercial fertilizer have been sold the past month to growers of the association at cost, showing that the growers in this section are taking the best of Eugene, Ore., as the body, there were many local residents who believed the body to be that of Matlock. The strong resemblance in features, abdomen wounds, and the further fact that both men used the same fictitious name, C. C. Curran, were convincing proofs to many that Matlock and Jones were one and the same party.
The death of Matlock in Los Angeles clears the mystery.
Former residents of Eugene, who knew Matlock, identified the remains of Jones as those of Matlock. One or two were positive in their identification, while others were not.
Matlock was a consumptive. He had been in the hospital since January 15.
Jones was killed by a posse following an assault on Myrtle Huff at the Cook home on the San Joaquin ranch on the night of December 15.
J. B. Warner, of Toledo, Ohio, was in town this week on a tour of places of interest in Southern California. Mr. Warner is a veteran of the Civil War and is now engaged in lake shipping, being in command of a large steamer plying on the Great Lakes. While in town he met Comrade A. B. Markle and the two exchanged the usual greetings one old soldier always has for another. Mr. Warner has seen many sections of Southern California, but says he finds trees greener and orchards making a better appearance here than any other points he visited.
Two claims were filed this week by the Security Trust & Savings Bank of Los Angeles against the estate of Cassie B. Montee, one due on a promissory note for $1,500, and the other for $900. Joseph O'Donnell is administrator of the estate.
After short talks by R. J. McFadden, Dr. Wickett, V. U. Simpson, H. M. Adams and others, it was decided, acting upon suggestion of Mr. Brown, and upon motion of McFadden, to have the secretary ask the chambers of commerce in Anaheim, Fullerton, Garden Grove, Buena Park, Placentia, Yorba Linda and Brea to appoint a committee of three members to meet together and formulate some plan of action and get the ball rolling as soon as possible. Members of the board present and representatives from Fullerton and Placentia volunteered to take the matter up with the bodies in question, and get them to working. After the plans are formulated a mass meeting of the people will probably be held and the matter explained and discussed so that all will become in favor of it. Then a petition will be circulated and district to suit themselves, and Talbert and Struck will add to the assessable property in their respective districts by the addition of parts of the present third district. The plan is to circulate an initiative petition asking for a redistricting of the county and present the same to the board of supervisors for action. This board can either redistrict at once according to plans of the petition or it can refer the matter to the people for a vote. Mr. Mills thought the supervisors would not object to a fair and equitable redistrict and would not think it necessary to put the matter to a vote. Members present were unanimous in their support of Supervisor Schumacher for his action in preventing the $20,000 grab from the county treasury for a road along the breakers from Bay City to San Juan, and he came in for a good deal of commendation for his firm stand in the matter.

Of the board of trade's W. T. Brown, of Fulled chairman of the order the subject of redistrict lines. A. A. and secretary. A genus had relative to re-county along fair and the redistricting will be done as soon as practicable.
Previous to the mass meeting held for discussing the redistricting question, the regular business meeting of the board of trade was held, supper being first served in the Germania restaurant. H. M. Adams reported that he and Mr. Dickel had gone to Los Angeles to interview Mr. Anderson, who is contemplating establishing a hotel in this city, and that Mr. Anderson was to have visited this city last week, but left for Salt Lake and could not come here. Upon leaving, he said that he would write his proposition from Salt Lake and would present it to the board of trade for action.
Secretary Ahlborn reported that the board of trade's invitation to Mr. Neff, conductor of farmers' institutes in Southern California, to hold an institute in this city in the summer, had been accepted and Mr. Neff had expressed his willingness to hold the institute here, and thought that some time in September would be the best time for it to be held. Mr. Dickel said the exhibit of products and the entire affair would be much better if the ladies helped with it, and suggested that the ladies of the city be invited to take part. His suggestion was greeted with enthusiasm, and the ladies are urged to become members of the board and help in the good work. Mr. Duckworth said he had been talking with men from Los Alamitos and Buena Park and these gentlemen had
EXPENSE FUND FOR YEAR 1912
THIRD DISTRICT RECEIVES $15,801.69—TWO OTHER DISTRICTS TAKE $39,484.93
UNFAIR DISTRIBUTION OF PUB-LIC MONEYS FOR ROADS IN ORANGE COUNTY
That a second supervisor, representing the northern part of Orange county would be a valuable asset to taxpayers in this part of the county, is evidenced by figures giving moneys taken from the current expense fund by four supervisor districts having road moneys to disburse, during 1912. The third supervisor district, which is entitled to 37 per cent of road moneys, was given $15,801.69 from the current expense fund, while the second, fourth and fifth districts representing 63 per cent of the county's assessed valuation, received nearly three times as much, or $45,406.46. The total amount received by the second district from the current expense fund was $16,830.36. This district con-
MISS PEARL BARNES' SHOWER
At the residence of Mrs. M. Wiley, south of the city a shower was given to Miss Pearl Barnes, of Beaver Crossing, Neb., who has been the guest of Mr. and Mrs. J. P. Mayhew for some months. Miss Barnes was made the recipient of many presents in view of her contribution.
Simpson reported that the petition for the formation of the security protection district had been filed with the county board of supervisors and action would be taken shortly.
Mills said the bankers of Riverside and San Bernardino counties had purchased their proportion of the state highway bonds, and suggested that if the men in those frost-ridden districts could buy the bonds, the bankers of this favored section ought to be able to buy their share of the bonds.
An invitation from the management of the Fairyland moving picture theater for the members of the board of trade to attend the theater in a body, either before or after a meeting was read and accepted, and two weeks hence after the regular meeting at the library building was set as the time for attending.
A. A. Mills precipitated discussion about Senate Bill No. 53, and after talking about it for a time, the board voted to support it and a copy of the endorsement was ordered sent to the author of the bill and to Senator Anderson and Assemblyman Weisel. The bill aims to prevent unfair discrimination between different sections in the way of marketing products, and would prevent the underbidding of the Standard Oil Company in selling oil to drive out a competitor and other such unfair practices.
Duckworth reported that the advertising committee would be ready to undertake the work of getting out the booklet in contemplation by the board as soon as a little more money was secured. There being no further business the meeting adjourned.
The amount of money drawn from the current expense fund, by months, during the year 1912, was as follows:

MISS PEARL BARNES' SHOWER
At the residence of Mrs. M. Wiley, south of the city a shower was given to Miss Pearl Barnes, of Beaver Crossing, Neb., who has been the guest of Mr. and Mrs. J. P. Mayhew for some months. Miss Barnes was made the recipient of many presents in view of her coming marriage to Mr. Charles Virgoe, well known in Anaheim. The clearing-up shower was given at the home of the Mayhew's Monday evening when more of her friends, of whom she has made many since coming into our midst, came to congratulate her on her coming happiness. Pearl says she didn't get a count, a duke, nor a lord, but will have a sure-enough imported husband, as Charlie came direct from London within the last five years. The following persons were present:
Mr. and Mrs. Wm. Schumacher, Mr. and Mrs. W. W. Adams, Mr. and Mrs. J. H. Ritchie, Mr. and Mrs. P. R. Carpenter, Mr. and Mrs. G. L. Tolson, Mr. and Mrs. A. R. Brooks, Mr. and Mrs. A. B. Markle, C. C. Mauerhan, Carl Oelke, J. C. Gow, Frank Ritchie, Wm. Schumacher, Albert O. Nelson, Eddie Virgoe, Mrs. E. Miller, Mrs. A. O. Nelson and the Misses Myrtle A. Requarth, Pearl Requarth, Marie Schumacher, Frances Schumacher, Etta Schumacher, Annie Gow, Susie Geiger, Sarah Hubertsun and Master Murice Carpenter, and of course Charlie was there with becoming modesty. They were made the recipients of a splendid rocker and glass water set. Ice cream and cake were in abundance.
In addition of these large amounts drawn from the current expense fund by the second and fifth districts, the board at a meeting held last week attempted to vote an additional $20,000 for a coast boulevard wholly within those two districts. This appropriation was defeated by Supervisor Schumacher of the third district, who alone, out of the entire membership of the board, voted against making such appropriation. The law requires a unanimous vote to appropriate moneys from this fund to any district in the county.
Whether the board of supervisors will attempt to vote this large sum from the general road fund for the coast line boulevard is as yet unknown. The law requires a fourth vote to do this. But as such action will take money from funds otherwise accruing to road districts throughout the county, it is hardly thought probable the board will so decide.
A second supervisor from the northern portion of the county would effectually set this latter matter at rest.
It is known that the present membership of the board will, in the near (Continued on page 8)
