LURID LANGUAGE AT TRUSTEE MEETING BIG DELEGATION OF DRYS INVADE THE CHAMBER AND OBJECT TO ELECTION BOARD CITY WILL VOTE ON QUESTION OF PROHIBITION ON THURSDAY, NOVEMBER 6 Disappointment was again written on the faces of a delegation of drys numbering perhaps 50 which attended the regular meeting of the city trustees Thursday night. A list of names from which it was expected half of the election boards who will govern the ballot boxes in the coming struggle between the wets and drys had been filed with City Clerk Merritt, but exercising his prerogative and obeying the law the clerk had made up the four boards in the usual manner giving half to the Republican party and half to the Democrats without first ascertaining whether they intended to vote wet or dry. Precinct No. 1—Inspector, Henry Oelkers; judge, James H. Enearl; clerks, Max M. Boege and Frank Fox. Precinct No. 2—Inspector, J. J. Schneider; judge, Fred J.

An invitation was received from the State Board of Health which holds its annual session at Venice October 6 to 11, to the city health officer and all members of the board who care to attend. The invitation will be passed up to Dr. Beebe, who is the official health officer of the city. Resolution of intention No. 104, ordering the paving of East Center street was passed.

"That's none of your business," said Mr. Cook, who was growing exceedingly irate. Trustee Stark also became indignant at the insinuation of unfairness on the part of the board, and told the members of the delegation that there was no inclination on the part of the trustees to do otherwise than right and there was no possible way for them to be crooked if they wanted to. City Attorney Ames stated that the city clerk had observed the letter of the law in making the selections which had been announced. The law requires that election boards shall be composed of equal members of the two dominant political parties and this had been done by City Clerk Merritt. This law applied to all elections whether the questions to be voted upon were political or otherwise. C. E. Jones wound up the discussion by stating that his people demanded nothing but fair play. He didn't think they were getting it but they would have it by process of law if there was no other way. In his lecture Sunday night Dr. Chapman warned his followers that fraudulent schemes might be undertaken and that false registration could be anticipated. "I never knew a fraudulent vote to be attempted by one of our people," said the doctor, "but I advise you to be vigilant and block all attempts of your opponents to register or vote falsely." This statement probably prompted the drys to believe that an attempt would be made to cast illegal votes by the wets. Thursday, November 6, is the date set for the election. Building permits were granted as per request to the following persons: To Mrs. P. Stechert, frame dwelling on Emily street; cost $1,500. To Mrs. M.

Knowlton, of Fullerton, now at the head of the Southern California Veterans' Association, has a plan—and to the success of which he is bending every effort—in order to make the association's annual encampment at Huntington Beach next summer the most notable in its history. Commander Knowlton has enlisted the aid of United States Senators Works of this state and Smith of Michigan in order to achieve his object. The latter's parents reside at Santa Ana and he has an interest in this part of California, for that reason. The plan is to have Secretary of War Garrison assign a division of the coast artillery to that city for target practice during the ten days of the Veterans' Association encampment. Director Seely of the local Tent City Company has assured Commander Knowlton that the artillery could have the use of a sufficiently large tract of land in the Vista del Mar tract, facing the ocean, as a drill ground and point for target practice and the commander is already hard at work to secure the co-operation of the Senators named, even though nearly a year is to elapse before the next encampment of the old soldiers. Should he succeed in his purpose the 1914 encampment of the S. C. V. A will attract attention all over this and neighboring states. REWARD—If the party who took a cravenette overcoat from an automobile in front of the Iowa house on Monday evening will return the same to this office, a reward of $10 will be paid and no questions asked.

VALENCIA IN COURT Miss Ethel Nordheim Tells of Assault Made Upon Her Two Years Ago Ethel Nordheim, an 18-year-old girl of remarkable beauty, today told the story of an attack alleged to have been made upon her in Aanaheim in May, 1911, by David Valencia, a young Spanish man of Yorba. Although a warrant was issued at the time of the alleged assault, Valencia was not arrested until recently, when he returned to this county. Miss Nordheim, then 16 years of age, said that she was returning home from school when a buggy drove up behind her. She stepped aside to allow it to pass, but a man leaped out and seized her. He clapped a band over her mouth, but she set her teeth on one of his fingers and bit until the man was glad to get away. In jerking his hand away he pulled out two of her teeth. Then he jumped in his buggy and drove away. The girl promptly identified Valencia as her assailant. He was held to answer in the superior court under $2,500 bonds. Valencia is related to some of the leading families of the Yorba district.

German Language Spoken WALNUT GROWERS LOSE BY THE HEAT Anaheim Growers Are Only Slightly Damaged Is Report Walnut pickers are having their troubles as the result of the hot spell of a few days ago. The heat dried up the husks, causing them to stick to the nut and making it necessary to use a husking peg or knife to free the nut. It entails extra work and makes gathering very slow. Some nuts fall free of the husk, but they are few as compared with the usual season. The heat also caused quite a shrinkage in the crop and it will be from 15 to 20 per cent of what it was thought it would be prior to the hot spell, according to the estimates of some growers. Wm. Smith, of the Guggenhime firm at Santa Ana, says this estimate is too large, and that the loss will not amount to 10 per cent. The firm shipped out the first carload of nuts this season, the shipment being made on Monday, September 22nd. In the Anaheim district it is said by prominent growers that the loss from this reason will probably not be above 5 per cent. Some groves probably suffered more than others. The heat also effected the nuts in other walnut sections. The Santa Barbara News reports conditions in Santa Barbara county as follows: More serious damage than was at first believed was done to the walnuts in Santa Barbara county by the blistering heat of Tuesday and Wednesday. The actual loss is variously estimated at 15 to 25 per cent of the crop, which was expected to total $400,000. George M. Williams and John F. Moore, big growers in the Goleta section, say their walnuts were seriously damaged by the heat. Mr. Williams estimated that 50 per cent of his walnuts were reduced to "culls," because the sun shriveled up the hulls. Mr. Moore estimates his loss at 20 to 30 per cent of the anticipated value of the crop. In many cases the meat was affected, as well as the hulls, spoiling the nuts entirely. The damage to the orchards at Carpinteria appears to be less. C. B. Franklin, head of the packing house at Carpinteria, reported that about 20 per cent of the nuts were burned and that of this amount one-half would be "culls," instead of No. 1's. The "culls" bring 7 or 8 cents against the 15 cents some of the leading families of the Yorba district. Office Hours: 2 to 4 P.M.; 7 to 8 P.M.

Of these Senator Burleigh of Maine was the only one not paired either for or against the amendment. If he had been present he would have voted for the amendment, thus bringing the support up to within one of the opposition. Senator Newlands was absent, but he allowed himself to be paired against the amendment. Woodrow Wilson has demonstrated that he is supreme in dictating what legislation shall be enacted; he practically wrote the sugar and wool schedules in the Underwood bill and then laid down his imperial ukase that his will was law and that under no circumstances should any amendments be accepted. And Congress obeyed. The only Democrats who had the courage to withstand executive pressure were the two senators from Louisiana, Ransdell and Thornton. While others like reeds bending before the wind, subserved their convictions and the interests of their states to the will of the president, the two Louisiana senators stood like sturdy oaks and refused to vote for a measure which will bring about such disastrous results to the most important industry in their state. But the bill with its provision for free sugar in three years has passed the Senate and the press dispatches announce that the president is happy. "Great!" he exclaimed when told of the result. A. WELLINGTON. DAMAGED BY BIRDS A bird known as the Lewis woodpecker is reported to have caused considerable injury to almonds in the Capay Valley, California, one grower sustaining a loss of 10 per cent of his crop. The woodpecker by nature is a high-mountain bird. In stomach examinations of five woodpeckers taken in an almond orchard, over 65 per cent of the food eaten was made up of small pieces of almond. The California blue jay is also mentioned as being by far the worst pest of the almond orchard. GARDEN GROVE NOTES Walnut picking on the Newbury ranch is just beginning. There are 45 acres of nuts, from which the estimate gives 25 tons as a yield. The injury done by the hot weather to some of the walnuts which were about matured, seems not to have affected this grove at all. Other growers are beginning to pick and the indications are for a fairly good crop. The enrollment of the public school will go considerably above 300. The new school building, finished three years since, is already becoming too small for the work conducted by the nine teachers, and it is only the matter of a little time when it will be necessary to make provision for more room. Thieves carried off 21 sacks of beans which were just threshed and stacked in the field from the John Davis ranch and that of Tom Jessup.
