anaheim-gazette 1913-10-30

Two hundred and fifty-eight names were appended to the several petitions filed with the city clerk some weeks ago, demanding that the city trustees call a special election to vote upon the question of eliminating the saloons and wholesale liquor houses from Anaheim. Analysis of the list reveals the fact that 185 of the signatures were of women, leaving but 68 men responsible for the movement. After the petitions had been presented to County Clerk Williams and purged in his office of 34 names by comparison with the great register, it was found that the ratio was practically the same, 170 women and 54 men remaining. Furthermore, few of the men whose names appear on the list are among those who take an active part in the city's commercial affairs. Of the bankers who control the financial end of the city, not one signed the petition; of those engaged in mercantile pursuits, one or two; of the professional men, including doctors, dentists, lawyers, etc., one or two; of the large force of city officials, who are presumed to have the best interests of Anaheim at heart, not one. In short, but four or five men who can be classed among the business men of the city appended their names to the paper, the balance being solidly arrayed against the movement. It is difficult to believe that the wisdom of those five men overbalances the judgment of the hundreds of other merchants and of the most heavily traveled roads in the county, and the closing of the present structure will work irreparable injury to people of this section. However, as the present bridge has been condemned as unsafe, there remains nothing to do but to close it. Our people will insist that a new bridge be immediately built and to this end will ask the favorable consideration of the Board of Supervisors. A new bridge is a paramount necessity, and it should be built forthwith. THE CASE OF YOUNG JESTER The prohibition organ, printed at Santa Ana, republishes an article from the Gazette of some weeks ago relative to the arrest in this city of Geo. Jester, who was charged with stealing a horse at Chino and it proceeds to moralize at great length upon the license of the sale of liquor here, attributing the young man's downfall to that fact. How the sale of liquor at Anaheim can be associated with a crime committed at Chino is something which the prohibition organ may, perhaps, establish to its own satisfaction, but to others it may not be so plain. The prohibition organ proceeds at some length to blame the drunkenness of the young man's father for the latter's downfall, and again proceeds to blame that lamentable fact upon the license method of dealing with liquor here. Now the facts of the case are that young Jester's father came to Anaheim an undesirable citizen. His presence was not desired in establishments where liquor was sold, nor indeed in any other business place, so far as we are informed, and he was politely told so. Shortly after his arrival here he was placed under arrest for inebriety and was ordered out of town. After a number of years he returned, and was again promptly ordered to leave the city. The case of this man's family is indeed a sad one, TRUSTEES IGNORANT Notwithstanding this tition signed by the percent of the frontage on Lemon street, protest paving of that thorough in the office of the city of trustees on Thursday, the resolution of interest that the entire street length of the street block of being one at the frontage being 12 protestants represents this frontage. There are no protests but most from the two extremes On that section between Santa Ana, through a limited portion of the city a few objectors, but the frontage owners are ing. When the original tention to pave Lemon produced the 1,200-foot South to Broad street under the specific asphalt paving. The stretch was to be of ter as the adjacent property and had not A vigorous protest was eliminating this by street, especially by who demanded that included with the balcony and paved with asphalt on an equality with street. The board agreed Gates being in opposition attorney was instructed new resolution include der the asphalt specimen. The action of these proceeding with the work such a strenuous operation commendation and hearty approval of people of Anaheim would of those who entered in mercantile pursuits, one or two; of the professional men, including doctors, dentists, lawyers, etc., one or two; of the large force of city officials, who are presumed to have the best interests of Anaheim at heart, not one. In short, but four or five men who can be classed among the business men of the city appended their names to the paper, the balance being solidly arrayed against the movement. It is difficult to believe that the wisdom of those five men overbalances the judgment of the hundreds of other merchants and business men engaged in the same pursuits and equally interested in Anaheim's advancement. Moreover, several of the leading ministers of the town who unquestionably have the spiritual welfare of the citizens of Anaheim at heart, refused to join in the demand for prohibition, believing that the town's morals would not be advanced by the adoption of the proposed measure. In fact one of them remarked that he could not understand where the town's morality would be improved or its boys saved by taking the business out of the hands of reputable and responsible men who conduct their places under the supervision of the police and in accordance with the laws and ordinances of the city, and giving it into the hands of disreputable law breakers who hide in rat holes, ignore the laws and elude the officers, or how a man can be saved from drunkenness by compelling him to purchase two gallons of liquor when he only wants one glass. From the taxpayers' standpoint the disparity in the two forces is as wide as in the ranks of the business men. There are a few men on the list who are large taxpayers but the majority pay no taxes at all and the total of the names do not represent 10 per cent of the taxable wealth of Anaheim. They have little to lose by the loss of the $10,000 annual revenue which the city now derives from licensing the saloons and wholesale houses and which necessarily will have to be made good by the taxpayers. Examination of the tax roll at the city hall reveals the fact that there are 71 taxpayers on the list of signers, the combined amount of taxes paid by them being $1,422.18. The total amount collected by the tax collector from all taxpayers in the city was last year approximately $28,000. This represents money collected from property tax and does not include the $10,000 of license money gathered from wholesale and retail dealers in liquors: It will be seen that the amount of taxes paid by petitioners for the prohibition election is a mere bagatelle as compared with the total amount of revenue derived from all sources from the city here. Now the facts of the case are that young Jester's father came to Anaheim an undesirable citizen. His presence was not desired in establishments where liquor was sold, nor indeed in any other business place, so far as we are informed, and he was politely told so. Shortly after his arrival here he was placed under arrest for inebriety and was ordered out of town. After a number of years he returned, and was again promptly ordered to leave the city. The case of this man's family is indeed a sad one, but to couple the license of selling liquor here with his downfall is unfair and unjust to men engaged in that business. These men informed this young man's father that they did not desire his presence in their places of business, and it finally became necessary for the police officials to order him out of town. The young man now in jail on a charge of horse theft had not resided here for a long time, and it is to the credit of the police officers of this city that they placed him under arrest, recovered the property which he stole at Chino, and placed it in custody of police officials of that section. Not a single liquor dealer in Anaheim would sell liquor to either this man or his son, and as we say it is unfair and unjust to associate them with the downfall of either one. Jester's father came here a derelict, washed up amid the flotsam and jetsom upon life's unceasing shores, and he was pitied by the few men with whom he came in contact. That he was not wanted here is evidenced by the fact that he was promptly floated out of town. He returned after the lapse of several years, and was again ordered to leave the city. That is the whole story in a nutshell, and not one of the reputable saloon keepers of this city permitted this poor old derelict to set foot within his place of business. The story is a gad one but it is too late in the day for the prohibition organ to go into a moralizing trance upon a subject which is perfectly well known to men acquainted with all the facts of the case. Local officers interceded for young Jester with San Bernardino county officials, asking that leniency be shown the young culprit. They showed that during the several years of his residence in this city he had born an excellent reputation. He was never intoxicated while living here, never entered a saloon, indeed was not permitted to enter any liquor establishment. He bore an exemplary character, and came in for commendation for upright qualities in the face of almost insuperable family difficulties. We doubt if MUNICIPAL MARKET OF LIVING IN MANY Cities yet greatly increase profits is declared in number of the University Journal of Agriculture by the students of College. All over the state, the writer of the article for the establishment markets. From San Diego the plan is being followed by example, and city markets in open planned. The farmer prised and delighted takes him little if any sell his produce in this market than to the wharf he receives a much thermore, Los Angeles they save often as much in cost by going to bed and besides can assure what they buy is free. According to Newports for 1912, as usual, the producer reefer for eggs while the No paid $28,000,000; for educer received $812,000; sumer paid $8,000,000; producer received $8 New York consumers have paid $60,000,000 that for the whole 1 million in the United States received six billion dollars. The United States Agriculture has plantment of a Division o reduce the cost of products. It is government to establish information in la la principal center... CLOSING OF OLIVE BRIDGE The contemplated closing of the Olive bridge by the Board of Supervisors, which body has condemned the structure as unsafe, makes it imperative necessary that the proposed concrete bridge be taken up immediately. Bonds in the amount of $100,000 were voted for bridges in this county last year, and of this sum $70,000 has been expended for bridges in the southern part of the county, while not a dollar has been disbursed for bridges in this portion of the county. The Board of Supervisors some months ago took up the matter of the construction of a new consrete bridge at this point, but conditions imposed by that body have been such that work upon the bridge is not yet in sight. The present bridge is 1,600 feet in length, while the proposed new structure will be 600 feet, hence it is necessary that 1,000 feet of the river bed be protected by piling and levee work. The board demands that our citizens perform this work of protecting the bridge. Our people are willing to meet the board half way in this matter and will do anything in their power to insure immediate beginning of the work. The bridge spans the river as a part of one local officers interceded for young Jester with San Bernardino county officials, asking that lienency be shown the young culprit. They showed that during the several years of his residence in this city he had born an excellent reputation. He was never intoxicated while living here, never entered a saloon, indeed was not permitted to enter any liquor establishment. He bore an exemplary character, and came in for commendation for upright qualities in the face of almost insuperable family difficulties. We doubt if he ever took a drop of liquor while living in this city, and for that he is most certainly to be commended. It was not until he went into "dry" territory, where illicit liquor men had no scruples about enticing him into their dens, that this young man fell into evil ways, drank liquor, and in his befuddled condition committed felony. There is not a single liquor dealer in this city who would dare sell this young man a glass of liquor; there is not a single liquor dealer in town who would permit this young man in his place of business. His downfall is referable to his advent into "dry" territory, where the illicit speak-easy may be encountered on every hand. The prohibition organ may moralize to its heart's content about this young man's downfall, but practical men will declare that he had continued to live in this city where liquor is licensed, and where he would not have been permitted to enter a single liquor establishment, he would have grown to his majority a sober man; while in territory harboring the eyeless porcine quadruped he was enticed into evil associations, was filled with liquor and driven to commit crime. There is an excellent opportunity here for exercise of lenency on the part of San Bernardino officials. The United States Agriculture has planned a Division of products. It is proper government to establish information in the law the principal center form the farmers' conditions in localities lent to them, and to as to the crops whose greatest profits. All concerning market conditions furnished to tobaccoers. This government hoped, prevent waste of last year when apple crops in the horticry was harvested, we grower received as box and out of that picking wrapping, and nevertheless, in the cities the consumer w apliece for apples. The municipal man easily made self-supply the charge made to ing its facilities is now the Boston municipal a profit of $60,000, leans $72,000, that owed 000, and that of India. One of the most of the Los Angeles system is that all prins inspected for evidence tack or fungus growth fruit from orchards... TRUSTEES IGNORE PROTEST Notwithstanding the fact that a petition signed by the owners of 71 per cent of the frontage of property on Lemon street, protesting against the paving of that thoroughfare was on file in the office of the city clerk, the board of trustees on Thursday night adopted the resolution of intention and directed that the entire street be paved. The length of the street lacks but a short block of being one and a half miles, the frontage being 14,497 feet. The protestants represented 10,230 feet of this frontage. There were 35 names on the protest but most of them were from the two extremities of the street. On that section between Sycamore and Santa Ana, through the thickly populated portion of the town, there were a few objectors, but the majority of the frontage owners favored the paving. When the original resolution of intention to pave Lemon street was introduced the 1,200-foot block from South to Broad street was not included under the specifications designating asphalt paving. The work on this stretch was to be of a cheaper character as the adjacent property was ranch property and had not been subdivided. A vigorous protest was made against eliminating this by residents on the street, especially by Judge Shanley, who demanded that the block be included with the balance of the street and paved with asphalt, placing Lemon on an equality with Los Angeles street. The board agreed, only Trustee Gates being in opposition, and the city attorney was instructed to draw up a new resolution including this block under the asphalt specifications. The action of the trustees in proceeding with the work in the face of such a strenuous opposition deserves commendation and has received hearty approval of practically all the people of Anaheim with the exception of those who entered the protest. It been properly sprayed cannot be sold. This is a very effective method of inducing the horticulturist to take those precautions which his neighbors have the right to demand, since one unsprayed orchard may prove a source of infection to the whole surrounding region. Another feature of this issue of the University of California Journal of Agriculture is an article by Paul B. Popee on "Date Growing in Central California," in which it is declared that there are large regions in California where the date-palm will be a commercial success, and in which the farmers in the interior valleys are advised to try out a few date-palms in their own back yards and so find whether commercial plantations will be profitable in their particular regions. Charles L. Trabert of the C. A. Smith Lumber Company, in "Our Future Timber Supply," says that at the present rate of consumption there is only 50 year's supply of timber left in the United States, and urges reforestation, conservation, and the use of chemical methods of treatment for timber so as to increase its durability and the length of its use. C. W. Towt tells how to protect and improve citrus orchards by tree surgery on trees which have been frosted, attacked by fungi, or otherwise injured. C. Winfield Hartranft, in an article on "Planting Trees on Contours," says this is a means of making irrigation methods easier and preventing storm-water damage. In "Canning Plants for the Small Grower," S. B. Mosher tells of the development of portable canning plants which enable growers and groups of growers to pick their crop when it is in its best condition, and to make a fair profit on culls and inferior fruits from which otherwise practically nothing would be received. Summaries are given, also, of the contents of recent bulletins of importance to California farmers, issued by the United States or by the MILLIONS IN THIS YEAR'S CITRUS CROP Orange County Growers' Receipts Double That of Last Season The Valencia orange shipping season is closing, and with it ends the greatest year in the history of the citrus industry in Orange county. In the last year Orange county has sold, f. o. b., no less than $3,500,000 worth of oranges and lemons, fully 100 per cent more than in the year previous. For the Valencias, queen of the oranges, an average of $3.50 a box was received, and for lemons an average of $5.00. The Sunset Fruit Exchange, to which belong seven citrus growers' associations between Olive and Tustin, and which controls 75 per cent of the output of oranges in that district, has received its annual report from its manager and secretary, D. Eyman Huff, of Orange. That report shows that through the exchange in the 12 months of the exchange's fiscal year there were shipped 543,628 boxes of oranges and lemons, making 1,372 carloads, for which $1,672,553.24, f. o. b., was received. Of the shipments, 147,-200 boxes were navels; 304,439 Valencias; 15,167 Mediterranean sweets; 1,032, seedlings; 1,086, St. Michaels; 39 blood; 14 grapefruit; and 75,651 lemons. With the exchange handling 75 per cent of the citrus crop this side of the Santa Ana river, the total output is estimated as having brought in about $2,250,000. On the other side of the river, which includes Anaheim, Fullerton and Placentia, the Semi-Tropic Exchange has handled about $750,000 worth of citrus fruits, and independent shippers, including C. C. Chapman, $500,000. That easily brings the total MUNICIPAL MARKET TO CUT COST OF LIVING That the establishment of municipal markets is bringing down the cost of living in many California towns and yet greatly increasing the farmer's profits is declared in the October number of the University of California Journal of Agriculture, just published by the students of the Agricultural College. All over the state, says S. B. Mosher, the writer of the article, there is agitation for the establishment of municipal markets. From Sacramento to San Diego the plan is being tried. Los Angeles, for example, already has seven city markets in operation and others planned. The farmer has been surprised and delighted to find that it takes him little if any more time to sell his produce in the free retail market than to the wholesalers, and yet he receives a much higher price. Furthermore, Los Angeles consumers say they save often as much as 50 per cent in cost by going to the city market, and besides can assure themselves that what they buy is fresh and good. According to New York market reports for 1912, as quoted by the Journal, the producer received $17,000,000 for eggs while the New York consumer paid $28,000,000; for onions the producer received $812,000 while the consumer paid $8,000,000; for potatoes the producer received $8,347,000 while the New York consumer is declared to have paid $60,000,000. It is estimated that for the whole 1912 crop produced in the United States the farmer received six billion dollars and the distributor seven billion dollars. The United States Department of Agriculture has planned the establishment of a Division of Markets to help reduce the cost of distributing farm products. It is proposed by the government to establish free bureaus of information in the larger cities and at the principal centers of trade, to initiate irrigation methods easier and preventing storm-water damage. In "Canning Plants for the Small Grower," S. B. Mosher tells of the development of portable canning plants which enable growers and groups of growers to pick their crop when it is in its best condition, and to make a fair profit on culls and inferior fruits from which otherwise practically nothing would be received. Summaries are given, also, of the contents of recent bulletins of importance to California farmers, issued by the United States or by the experiment stations of various states. OUR GREAT WHEAT COUNTRY British statisticians estimate the world's wheat crop this year at 3,376,000,000 bushels, of which the United States is credited with producing 752,000,000. Our own government crop reports fix the wheat yield of the country a little lower, but the difference is not material. The figures show the tremendous importance of the United States in the food markets of the world. Russia, which holds second place in wheat production, is 200,000,000 bushels short of the American yield. Canada and Argentina together grow only a little more than half as much wheat as this country. France grows less than half as much, and other countries, except India, are not in the comparison at all. The importance of Canada and Argentina is due to the fact that they can export nearly their entire crop, while in this country only the surplus left from feeding more than 90,000,000 people is available for export. If the United States leads the wheat-growing countries of the earth, while producing only 13 bushels per acre, what would be her rank if she raised her crop to the English average of 29 bushels? DROWNED AT NEWPORT Mrs. Margaret Frost and 4-year-old son, Lowell Sydney Frost, of Hollywood, were drowned at the entrance to Newport bay Monday. The Frost family, which consisted of Dr. Lowell C. Frost of No. 6404 Hollywood boulevard, his wife and son, Lowell, and a daughter three years old, with the children's nurse, have been stopping at Corona del Mar for a month's vacation. Dr. Frost crossed over to Balboa on the ferry after groceries, leaving his wife and two children on the Corona del Mar wharf. The little boy lost his balance and fell into the bay and the mother without hesitation plunged in after him. The woman was a strong swimmer and reached the boy and tried to gain the shore with him but a heavy tide was running out of the bay at the time making the channel a very dangerous place. Mrs. Frost retained her hold on the making irrigation methods easier and preventing storm-water damage. In "Canning Plants for the Small Grower," S. B. Mosher tells of the development of portable canning plants which enable growers and groups of growers to pick their crop when it is in its best condition, and to make a fair profit on culls and inferior fruits from which otherwise practically nothing would be received. Summaries are given, also, of the contents of recent bulletins of importance to California farmers, issued by the United States or by the experiment stations of various states. For many years the citrus industry was recognized as the county's leading industry, and in a county that has several crops that go well over $1,000,000 annually. In the last two or three years people were suspecting that the name of the county ought to be Sugar Beet county or Saccharine county or something to show that the leading industry is the sugar beet growing and sugar refinery industries. This year's record set the doubting ones to rights, for the citrus fruits again take first place. High prices and the county's good fortune in passing through the frosts of last winter with comparatively little damage to its oranges and lemons, is largely responsible for the huge sum of money that has been distributed among the orchardists. It is partly due to the fact that many new orchards are coming into bearing. The output of the Sunset Fruit Exchange has gained 233 per cent in four years. Last year the exchange marketed 1,137 carloads of fruit and received $873,000. This year it marketed 1,372 carloads and received $1,672,553.24. The members of the Sunset Fruit Exchange are the Santiago Orange Growers' Association of Orange, receiving $662,385 this year; Tustin Hills Citrus Association of Tustin; $235,132; Tustin Lemon Association of Tustin; $214,493.52; an average of $5.14 for its lemons; McPherson Villa Park Orchards' Association at McPherson; $130,107; D. Hewes Association at El Modena; $183,837; Villa Park Orchards Association at Villa Park; $194.995; Central Lemon Growers' Association at Villa Park; $61,601; an average of $5.28 per box for its lemons. Some of the associations have closed for the season, and will not open again until the shipment of navels begins about the first of December. Reports indicate that the fruit will be later than usual in ripening. The standard of oranges raised in and shipped from Orange county was never higher than now. This year has established for this county's oranges a reputation among New York consumer is declared to have paid $60,000,000. It is estimated that for the whole 1912 crop produced in the United States the farmer received six billion dollars and the distributor seven billion dollars. The United States Department of Agriculture has planned the establishment of a Division of Markets to help reduce the cost of distributing farm products. It is proposed by the government to establish free bureaus of information in the larger cities and at the principal centers of trade, to inform the farmers concerning market conditions in localities most convenient to them, and to notify producers as to the crops which will yield the greatest profits. Already information concerning market conditions is being furnished to tobacco and cotton growers. This government work will, it is hoped, prevent waste of produce when there is demand for it by the public, and remedy such conditions as those of last year when one of the largest apple crops in the history of the country was harvested, when the American grower received as little as 40 cents a box and out of that had to pay for picking wrapping, and packing; while, nevertheless, in the larger Eastern cities the consumer was paying 5 cents apiece for apples. The municipal market is said to be easily made self-supporting, even when the charge made to the farmer for using its facilities is nominal. Last year the Boston municipal market reported a profit of $60,000, that of New Orleans $72,000, that of Baltimore $50,-000, and that of Indianapolis $17,220. One of the most valuable features of the Los Angeles municipal market system is that all produce is carefully inspected for evidences of insect attack or fungus growth; in other words, fruit from orchards which have not Lowell, and a daughter three years old, with the children's nurse, have been stopping at Corona del Mar for a month's vacation. Dr. Frost crossed over to Balboa on the ferry after groceries, leaving his wife and two children on the Corona del Mar wharf. The little boy lost his balance and fell into the bay and the mother without hesitation plunged in after him. The woman was a strong swimmer and reached the boy and tried to gain the shore with him but a heavy tide was running out of the bay at the time making the channel a very dangerous place. Mrs. Frost retained her hold on the child until the current swept them into the breakers at the bar, where they were torn apart. The little girl ran to the top of the bluff where the Hotel del Mar is located and told the nurse, who telephoned to the Balboa pavilion and the speedy launch Paloma containing William Norton, Floyd Hemstreet and Frank Valleley hurried to the scene. Mrs. Frost was found floating just outside the breaker line and was lifted into the boat and taken back to the Balboa pavilion but although two of the men worked with her all of the way and others for two hours after she was landed, no sign of life could be detected. The men in the boat knew nothing of the boy being drowned at the time and when a boat was sent back no trace of him could be found. Searching parties have been looking for his body all afternoon without avail. The remains of Mrs. Frost were taken to Santa Ana by Undertaker George S. Smith. The deceased woman was 29 years of age. Manuel Huitron, who became intoxicated at a dance at Placentia and fired a shot at W. E. Stradley, the manager of the hall, was sentenced to two years in San Quentin. Huitron and his attorney, S. M. Davis, endeavored to secure probation, but failed on account of the circumstances of the case. Huitron had been previously arrested for drinking. Some of the associations have closed for the season, and will not open again until the shipment of navels begins about the first of December. Reports indicate that the fruit will be later than usual in ripening. The standard of oranges raised in and shipped from Orange county was never higher than now. This year has established for this county's oranges a reputation among eastern buyers that denotes an Orange county orange as the best orange grown. This county's citrus orchards went through last winter's severe frosts with but slight damage, especially in comparison to the damage done in the Pomona, Riverside, Redlands and San Bernardino districts. Buyers have found this county's fruit the very best that went to market. The associations of the county are constantly endeavoring to better the product, and raise the already high standard of fruit. A concerted effort is being made to have oranges and lemons go from the orchards to the packing-houses bright and clean. Clean oranges are necessary to maintain a high standard, and until oranges can be shipped guaranteed free from scale pests, the northwestern markets are closed to local shippers. At the next meeting of the Board of Supervisors a delegation of representatives will go before the board and urge that some drastic methods be adopted to compel orchardists to fumigate their orchards. The energy with which the growers are looking after the interests of the industry speaks much for the future of the citrus fruit growing in Orange county.
