WEBBER LOOKED FOR WITHIN A FEW DAYS HEAD OF EXPERIMENT STATION WILL INSPECT THE SITES OFFERED HERE TWO TRACTS SUBMITTED, HAVING PLENTIFUL WATER, NOW UNDER CONSIDERATION Renewed interest is taken in the State Experiment Station by the fact that Dr. H. J. Webber will be in Anaheim in a few days to make official inspection of two sites offered him for the station. Dr. Webber has written J. B. Neff, conductor of Farmer's Institutes for Southern California, that he desires to view that gentleman's walnut orchard two miles southwest of town. Until his arrival in California last year he had never seen a walnut orchard, and as Mr. Neff's tract is one of the most productive in Southern California, and is now at its best so far as its splendid appearance goes, he has expressed a desire to come here and see it in full bearing. The trees are very heavily laden and there is probably less blight and injurious effects of aphis among the trees than in any other large orchard in the state. Mr. dant and cheapest, he must ultimately decide in favor of this section. It is said on excellent authority that several sites in th upper valley have been practically rejected, on account of the extreme depth to water, danger of frost and undesirable soil. Property owners at the west end are considering advisability of raising a fund of money to assist in defraying expense of purchasing a location in that neighborhood. The board of trade of this city is anxious to show Dr. Webber every consideration, and will assist him by submission of data in his work of selecting a site for the station. The agricultural station, should it be located here, will be of great benefit to this city and surrounding country. It will develop into one of the largest stations of its kind in the United States and will have a faculty of agricultural experts who will be the most eminent men in their calling in the country. It was said yesterday on excellent authority that a site would be selected in the walnut belt extending from Whittier south to Orange. It is believed that Mr. Neff's orchard will demonstrate to Dr. Webber's entire satisfaction that this locality is the home of this important industry. Dr. Webber's coming is awaited with keenest interest. TWO BURGLARIES IN ONE NIGHT Homes of Herman Noll and W. F. Ranow Entered Sunday Evening he desires to view that gentleman's walnut orchard two miles southwest of town. Until his arrival in California last year he had never seen a walnut orchard, and as Mr. Neff's tract is one of the most productive in Southern California, and is now at its best so far as its splendid appearance goes, he has expressed a desire to come here and see it in full bearing. The trees are very heavily laden and there is probably less blight and injurious effects of aphis among the trees than in any other large orchard in the state. Mr. Neff was the first man in California to top graft for blight, and in this method of scientifically treating the alliment has been most successful in eradicating it. Dr. Webber and his associates have given much attention to top grafting, and this method for treating blight has been officially adapted by the College of Agriculture at Berkeley and the Department of Agriculture at Washington. Dr. Webber will make personal inspection of two sites offered him for the State Experiment Station. One comprises 200 acres, two and a half miles west of town and is the property of Mrs. Kellogg and Drs. Johnston and Houck. It is offered at $110,000. The tract has three pumping plants and other substantial improvements. By addition of other pumping plants one thousand inches of water may be raised at slight cost. The other site lies in the Golden State tract two miles northeast of town, where from 175 to 225 acres of good land may be had at $500 per acre. On this site there are three pumping plants raising a large volume of water together with other first-class improvements. It is understood Dr. Webber wishes to view these tracts of land personally and whether he will be accompanied by a committee of the board of trade is not yet known. He will be accompanied by Mr. Neff on his visit and those who may attend on the trip will probably be invited to go along. He will make close scrutiny of the character of the soils, freedom from frost conditions and abundance of water which may be raised by pumping plants. He may be here a day or longer. He has not yet designated the date of his arrival, but a letter is expected from him by Mr. Neff this week, when it will be known just when he will arrive here. While in Orange county he will also visit a tract of land offered at Orange. Dr. Webber has looked over a number of sites in the upper valley and while no official statement has come from him or his associates it is believed in well-informed circles that a site will be chosen nearer the coast. In a recent letter issued by Dr. Hunt, dean TWO BURGLARIES IN ONE NIGHT Homes of Herman Noll and W. F. Rannow Entered Sunday Evening The residence of Herman Noll at 215 South Olive street was burglarized Sunday evening and $35 in money stolen. Mr. Noll and family were away from home during the evening and returned at 10 o'clock. It is believed the thieves were in the house at that time and were frightened away as nothing has been missed but two children's savings banks containing about $35. Entrance was gained by cutting a screen in the rear and opening a window. The home of W. F. Rannow, next door neighbor to Mr. Noll, was also ransacked by thieves the same evening while the family was absent. Here a quantity of clothing and small articles were taken and a can of preserved fruit scattered promiscuously about the floor. It is supposed that these were the same artists who entered the Noll house. Evidently the burglars were undisturbed and worked leisurely in the Rannow home, as the place was thoroughly ransacked. Officer Phil Germann immediately got on the track of a couple of suspicious looking youths whom he had noticed loitering about town a day or two previously. He communicated with the sheriff's office, giving a description of the boys, and on Tuesday he was notified that a couple of young men answering his description had been arrested at Irvine station. He immediately went after them and found one of them wearing a hat with the names of W. F. Rannow and F. A. Yungbluth in it. They were brought to Anaheim and lodged in jail. Several parties recognized them as having been seen on the streets in Anaheim. They gave the names of Harry Bacon and Charles Lewis, both of Cincinnati.

It proved to be on the Union Brewing Company's premises and while little damage resulted from the blaze the entire big plant was in danger for a time. The fire started in a grain field and spread to a ditch filled with waste oil. The burning oil made considerable blaze, and as tanks containing a carload of fuel oil stood only 20 yards distant danger of a serious conflagration was imminent. Had the fire communicated with the oil tanks it would have taken heroic action to save the big plant from destruction. The boys made the best time possible with the present system of fire fighting, but fortunately the brewery employees succeeded in getting the blaze under control before the arrival of the department. W. P. Quarton and wife were visiting friends at Pasadena Sunday. REVIVAL MEETING OPENED HERE SUNDAY BROWN AND CURRY'S BIG TENT ATTRACTING LARGE CROWS OF PEOPLE EVANGELIST BROWN SAYS HE IS GOING TO FIRST REVIVE ANAHEIM'S CHURCHES The big Brown and Curry tent, the coming of which has been heralded for some time, arrived Saturday and was pitched at the corner of Lemon street and Broadway. Mr. Curry, who has charge of the musical part of the revival services, is not with the party at present, having recently been called East, and it is not known whether he will be able to join before the close of the meetings here. His place is ably filled by Mr. Garch, who has command of a chorus of nearly a hundred voices composed principally of the choirs of the city churches. While it is generally understood that the principal object of this meeting at the present time is to assist in the temperance crusade which is being waged in this city, Evangelist Brown in his sermon Sunday night announced that whatever the ultimate developments, his mission is to conduct revivals and BOYS ROB TILL, GET INTO TROUBLE Chapo Darling in Jail For Beating His Board Bill, Said to Be Leader of Gang Chapo Darling, son of T. A. Darling, formerly agent for the Southern Pacific railroad in this city, is in jail on a charge of beating a board bill, having defauded K. Chameris out of $13 for victuals furnished him at Chameris' Center-street restaurant. Darling is charged with a more serious offense, that of robbery, but inasmuch as it is believed that he can be cinched on the lesser charge, while the graver charge would be more difficult to prove, he is held on a misdemeanor accusation rather than a felony. He was arrested by local officers this week along with Henry Kraatz and Louis Krattz, both of the latter having been employes of Chameris' restaurant. Darling was a boarder there, and after running a bill of $13, one night late prevailed upon the two Kraatz boys to rob their employes' till. There was good money in the restaurant's strong box and this the boys took with alacrity, Darling having evidently, little trouble in pursuing them to the theft. The trio hit the trail for San Bernardino, from which point the elder Kraatz boy telegraphed his mother here to send them $10 immediately. This was refused, and the trio later worked their way back here. The Kraatz boys were taken into custody, pleaded guilty and given suspended sentences, Louis be BOSS JACKMAN HAS HIS EAR TO THE GROUND EYE ALSO RIVETED UPON JOB AT COURT HOUSE, SELECTION NOT YET DETERMINED WOODS FULL OF REFORM CANDIDATES, OFFICES PARCELED OUT BY PROGRESSIVE JUNTA Boss Jackman, of the reformed element of the goo-goolites at the county seat, who, in company with a number of his kind at Santa Ana has been engaged for some time past in an earnest effort to fix things politically generally throughout the country, and in this county in particular, is possessed of a lively sense of political favors which he expects will come to him at next year's election, and for which the Republican party will probably give him such a run for his money as will leave him out of the dinero at the finish. Boss Jackman has his eye on several of the offices at the court house, but up to latest accounts had not yet made decision as to which job he prefers. He has been in temporary seclusion since the Associated Chambers of Commerce sat unanimously upon him-at a recent meeting at Santa Ana in the will be able to join before the close of the meetings here. His place is ably filled by Mr. Garch, who has command of a chorus of nearly a hundred voices composed principally of the choirs of the city churches. While it is generally understood that the principal object of this meeting at the present time is to assist in the temperance crusade which is being waged in this city, Evangelist Brown in his sermon Sunday night announced that whatever the ultimate developments, his mission is to conduct revivals and convert the wicked and he purposed beginning in Anaheim by reviving the churches. He advocated herding all the members of the church in the building, lock the doors and do some house cleaning. Rub up, clean up, scrub up and shine up, he said, and then pick out all the water-logged members who do nothing and throw them out. "Whenever I find a town," he said, "that is down morally, I know that the churches are down spiritually. It is a crime to show indifference to the evils that exist around you. I am not knocking on your beautiful city. I believe in being a booster for the city, but above that I believe in the uplift of its morals. What we need is a holy war. God is shaking other cities and he can also shake this beautiful city." Mr. Brown also scored the church members for their indifference to things spiritual and for drifting away from the good old customs and religion of their forefathers. The old family altar, he said, where worship was daily held, has been thrown out of the home to make room for the parlor dance. The old family Bible has given place to a dirty pack of cards, and the hymn book is supplanted by rag-time music. In the matter of neglecting Christian duties for lodges and clubs the women of today, he declared, could leave the men far in the shade. How long the revival will continue is not yet known as no definite time has been fixed for its duration. Mr. Curry will probably return from the East before the close of the meeting and again take charge of the singing. The big tent Sunday night was crowded to its utmost capacity, probably 2,000 people being crowded into it. An auto truck line will be run from Fullerton to Anaheim during the progress of the meeting and it is expected this will be the greatest revival ever held in Orange county. Parties from other sections of the county are participating, and a strenuous effort will be made to save Anaheim from the fate that befel Sodom and Gomarrah. Rev. Brown is a pursuasive talker and has a knack of saying an interest-upon the two Kraatz boys to rob their employees' till. There was good money in the restaurant's strong box and this the boys took with alacrity, Darling having evidently, little trouble in pursuing them to the theft. The trio hit the trail for San Bernardino, from which point the elder Kraatz boy telegraphed his mother here to send them $10 immediately. This was refused, and the trio later worked their way back here. The Kraatz boys were taken into custody, pleaded guilty and given suspended sentences, Louis being sentenced to 180 days and Henry to 30 days in the county jail. They were released on promises to go to work to make up their share of the money stolen from their employer. Darling came into town some nights ago and was picked up as he walked up to the water fountain near the First National bank for a drink. He was placed in jail on a charge of beating a board bill. He carries an I. W. W. card and has been in trouble here before. His uncle, Chapo Agullar, was an early-day gun-man in these parts, and served a term in San Quentin for murder committed here. He was afterward shot and killed at a Mexican dance at Yorba by another Mexican who fled across the border into Mexico. Darling was taken to the county jail to await his hearing in court, September 11th. COUNTY TAX RATE WILL BE LOWERED Increased Valuation of Property Totals More Than $3,000,000, Money in Various Funds The board of supervisors on Tuesday agreed to fix the tax rate at $1 inside cities and $1.40 outside cities. This will be a reduction of 5 cents from last year's rates. A reduction in the rate is made possible by the fact that the assessment has been raised about $3,000,000 and by the fact that some of the funds have money left in them sufficient to run them for the year. After figuring on the funds, Auditor Lester suggested to the board the following rates: State, $.04; current expense, 0.29; hospital, $.085; bonds, interest, etc., $.285; county school, $.235; advertising, $.015; salary, $.05; county park, $.00; total, $1. Outside cities, roads, $.40; total, $1.40. With these rates about $527,000 will be raised, of which perhaps one-fifth will go to bonds, interest, etc. Special school He expects will come to him at next year's election, and for which the Republican party will probably give him such a run for his money as will leave him out of the dinero at the finish. Boss Jackman has his eye on several of the offices at the court house, but up to latest accounts had not yet made decision as to which job he prefers. He has been in temporary seclusion since the Associated Chambers of Commerce sat unanimously upon him at a recent meeting at Santa Ana in the matter of a curve on North Main street for the Pacific Electric road running thence to Orange. Feeling in need of a bit of cheap advertising, albeit, next year's campaign is away off in the future, he log-rolled a resolution through the Associated Chambers of Commerce at a previous meeting, protesting against this curve to the State Railroad Commission, setting forth the alleged fact that such a curve would operate as a constant menace to the lives and property of the dear people whose support he expects in next year's campaign. He recommended to the State Railroad Commission that that body require the electric railway to cut corners upon its route from Santa Ana to Orange, meaning thereby to compel it to lay its track upon a sharp curve which would have meant merely the abandonment of a road which people of this city hope in the near future to be extended here. This absurd proposition after being forwarded to the State Railroad Commission, operated as a stay of proceedings on the part of the Electric Railroad Company. It formed a temporary bar to construction of the longer curve, which all interurban tracks must subscribe to if any accelerated rate of speed is to be had by travelers in going from one town to another in Southern California. When the Associated Chambers of Commerce finally realized the absurdity of this preposterous proposition that body hastily again convened, for the purpose of hearing an impartial discussion of the matter from both sides. The body thereupon unanimously turned down Jackman and his funny-business contention. He was the only gentleman at the meeting who voted in support of his project, and he went down with flying colors, arms waving in air, declaring that he was the only man present who had the interests of the dear people at heart. Rescinding its former action by the Associated Chambers was sent on to the State Railroad Commission, which forthwith dismissed Boss Jackman's protest theretofore lodged with it. Jackman insists he will continue the cruel war to the end that every voter in the county may The big tent Sunday night was crowded to its utmost capacity, probably 2,000 people being crowded into it. An auto truck line will be run from Fullerton to Anaheim during the progress of the meeting and it is expected this will be the greatest revival ever held in Orange county. Parties from other sections of the county are participating, and a strenuous effort will be made to save Anaheim from the fate that befel Sodom and Gomarrah. Rev. Brown is a pursuasive talker and has a knack of saying an interesting thing every time he opens his mouth. He has the reputation of being a great evangelist and the reputation is deserved. WALNUT CROP NORMAL Judging from present indications the walnut crop in the vicinity of whittier will be normal. According to Wallace Gregg, superintendent of the Whittier Walnut Growers' Association, the yield this year will be 100 carloads. This is just one carload less than was shipped last year. The cash returns, however, will be much greater this year on account of the higher price which will be received. The association expects to get 14 cents a pound this season against 12.5 cents last year. H. V. and Fred Weisel ran a-foul of a huge bob-cat while hunting in the northern section of the county among the foothills a few days ago and succeeded in slaying him after the animal put up a fight. He was more than two feet in height and weighed 25 pounds. After figuring on the funds, Auditor Lester suggested to the board the following rates: State, $.04; current expense, 0.29; hospital, $.085; bonds, interest, etc., $.285; county school, $.235; advertising, $.015; salary, $.05; county park, $.00; total, $1. Outside cities, roads, $.40; total, $1.40. With these rates about $527,000 will be raised, of which perhaps one-fifth will go to bonds, interest, etc. Special school rates are not shown in these figures. Bids were received for building another section of county roads, the fourth section up for contract. The road lies between Orange and Olive. Eight or ten bids were received. These were referred to the highway engineer. The bid of C. E. Chamberlain of $1,100 for a Port Huron engine belonging to the county was accepted. AN OBSTREPEROUS MIX A telephone lineman named Facemier, from Los Angeles, found a Mexican drunk near the road north of Fullerton Monday night. As the lineman was a deputy sheriff, he arrested the Mexican, who put up the fight of his life. It required the services of three strong men to handle the Mexican. They tied his hands and legs with a rope nearly twenty feet in length. The man was brought to Fullerton and was sent to the county jail this morning. The Mexican had a knife ten inches in length. He would not give his name. He was the only gentleman at the meeting who voted in support of his project, and he went down with flying colors, arms waving in air, declaring that he was the only man present who had the interests of the dear people at heart. Rescinding of its former action by the Associated Chambers was sent on to the State Railroad Commission, which forthwith dismissed Boss Jackman's protest theretofore lodged with it. Jackman insists he will continue the cruel war to the end that every voter in the county may learn of the fact that he is the only man in the Associated Chambers of Commerce who gives a rap for their safety from the plutocratic and reactionary railroad. Now he has his ear to the ground listening to what may be heard concerning his desire for one of "them offices." He has not yet made up his mind exactly what he wants. It may be County Clerk Williams' job that he seeks, but the people want Williams to stay where he is for he is the most capable and efficient man in the office whom the voters of the county ever placed there. Jackman might just as well understand this now as at any other time. He wouldn't fit in the county clerk's office. Williams does, and the people know a good official when they have him in their employ, and they are going to retain him in his job. This information we tender Boss Jackman in entire confidence, but it is authentic just the same. It may be justice of the peace of Santa Ana township which he seeks, but Judge Cox announces that if such be the case he will give the goo- ZETTE 1913 NUMBER 44 BACKMAN NEAR TO ROUND ED UPON JOB AT SELECTION TERMINED REFORM CANDI-PARCELED OUT BIVE JUNTA the reformed ele-ites at the county entry with a number Ana has been en-past in an earnest politically generally entry, and in this is possessed of a political favors which he to him at next for which the Re-probably give him money as will leave zero at the finish. his eye on several court house, but had not yet made job he prefers. temporary seclusion Chambers of Commerce upon him-at a Santa Ana in the goo boss a run for the mazuma.

With Boss Jackman and the Prince there is Bill Jerome, who has parceled out the auditor's job for himself, and Brother Wassum, who wants to be sheriff, and Principal Brunton, who wants to be county superintendent of schools, and Steele Finley, who wants to be district attorney, and Sam Davis, who wants to be superior judge, and a raft of other patriots who, finding the summer's crop of grass abnormally short, are anxious to get their snouts into the public crib. The woods "is full of them," with Boss Jackman leading on, bearing banners declaring them to be the only simon-pure, blown-in-the-bottle brand of patriots now off the reservation and looking for a job. With this list of hungry pirates moving on the court house honest people throughout the county will break for tall timber. NEW GARAGE FOR EAST CENTER STREET Henry Braden, Popular Automobile Man, Goes Into Business For Himself WHAT'S DOING IN AND ABOUT ANAHEIM BUILDING PERMITS ISSUED NUMEROUS AND BUSINESS CONDITIONS ARE GOOD PROSPEROUS SEASON FOR THE CITRUS, WALNUT AND SUGAR BEET GROWERS The number of new buildings now in course of construction in Anaheim will reach well toward half a hundred, among them being some of the most costly and substantial buildings in the city. Building permits during the year ending May 1st aggregated in cost of construction $181,500, and during the present fiscal year it is believed this figure will be doubled. More costly buildings are now being erected or contemplated than ever before. The Masonic temple, costing $35,000, will be completed in October, the Knights of Pythias castle, a $50,000 edifice, will be in the hands of the contractor in a short time, work on the new Dréyfus block began this week, Dr. Houck has completed plans for a three-room brick block on West Center, the German American bank will add to its recently purchased building and Louis Bushard is preparing to erect a brick structure just west of the opera house.

Mr. Braden will go into the automobile business for himself and will next week begin erection of a garage 50x75 feet on his East Center street lot, corner of Melrose. The building will be of white pressed brick front, of ornamental design, and rear of corrugated iron. Contract for erection of the building will probably be finally awarded today. Mr. Braden has long been desirous of going into business for himself and that he will be successful in his venture admits of no doubt. He is one of the best known and most experienced automobile men in the state and has friends on all sides who wish him the greatest measure of success in his enterprise. GETS A FINE BUCK BUT LOSES HIS DOG Hunters Mistake Airdale Hound For Coyote and Shoot Him The party of hunters composed of J. H. Cook, Pete Wisser, Mike Lopez, Ernest Bowen, Largo Bayha, Paul Nicolas, of this city, and Dick Bennet of Los Angeles, returned Friday from the Santa Clara creek grounds, having bagged but two deer. One of these fell before Lopez' rifle and the other was killed by the Los Angeles man. While Mike secured a deer he is mourning the loss of his valuable Airdale hound. A wounded buck got beyond range of the rifles before it could be finished and the dog chased him over a ridge. Following the trail the hunters came upon a party of amateur Los Angeles hunters and a dying dog. The Los Angeles men explained that they had shot the dog in the belief that he was a coyote. It required three hours of argument to prove to Mike buildings are now being erected or contemplated than ever before. The Masonic temple, costing $35,000, will be completed in October, the Knights of Pythias castle, a $50,000 edifice, will be in the hands of the contractor in a short time, work on the new Dréyfus block began this week, Dr. Houck has completed plans for a three-room brick block on West Center, the German American bank will add to its recently purchased building and Louis Bushard is preparing to erect a brick structure just west of the opera house. In addition to these the saw and the hammer can be heard in every direction where numerous dwellings are being built ranging from the small bungalow to costly and beautiful homes. Perhaps the best now under construction is the beautiful residence of Joseph Fiscus on South Los Angeles street, just being completed at a cost of $12,000 or $15,000. While from all sections of the East comes reports of appalling loss to the growers of crops by reason of drought and heat with accompanying disaster to business interests, in Anaheim we have experienced no such ill. Even among our immediate neighbors the abnormal freeze of last wintr cut short the citrus harvest, but the damage in this section was so slight as to be unnoticeable, and the advanced price is more than overbalancing the insignificant loss. Anaheim is shipping 375 carloads of oranges this season and they are commanding top prices. The sugar factory is slicing nine thousand acres of the best beets grown on earth this year. Weather conditions have been favorable, the yield is a splendid one and the plant will transform nearly 100,000 tons of beets into approximately $2,000,000 worth of sugar within the next four months. The walnut crop will be a normal one and the association has fixed the usual substantial selling price on it and the growers will reap a rich harvest of gold from their groves. These crops will bring several hundred thousand dollars into Anaheim which will be distributed through the city's channels of trade. One of the notable improvements will be the erection of a $7,000 fire house on Hermine street by the city. Plans have already been drawn for the building and the contract will probably be let in a short time. The Pacific Mausoleum Company, also will within two weeks let the contracts for the construction of a magnificent structure in their endowed cemetery which will cost $50,000. MRS J HEILMSEN MRS. J. HELMSEN SUFFERS COLLAPSE Experiences Attack of Nervous Prostration, Following Close Attendance Upon Sick Husband Mrs. Joseph Helmsen was stricken with an acute attack of nervous prostration on Thursday last, and was for several days in a critical condition. She was for a time partly unconscious, and serious results were feared. A physician was immediately called, and restorations administered. She was ill for several days, but was yesterday able to be about the house again. Her illness followed her close attention upon the wants of her husband, who has been ill at home for several months past. She is convalescing, and will soon doubtless be restored to her usual good health. Mr. Helmsen has been quite ill during the week but was yesterday reported to be in an improved condition and strong hopes are entertained for a favorable turn in his malady.
