FRUIT ASSOCIATION HAS A BANQUET Annual Session of Stockholders to Be Held Saturday The stockholders of the Anaheim Fruit Association will meet at the packing-house in annual session on Saturday. The election of officers for the coming year will be a part of the business transacted and Manager Sandilands will submit his annual report which shows that the season just passed has been a profitable one and that the association is in an excellent financial condition. At noon a banquet will be held in the auditorium of the Y. M. C. A. building. This is the first time the association has indulged in a banquet but the members feel justified in indulging in a little extra expense this season. Notwithstanding the frost that damaged so much fruit in certain sections of Southern California last winter the Anaheim Fruit Association has just closed one of the most prosperous years in its history. Only a small per cent of its fruit was damaged by the freeze. RUIZ MUST ANSWER FOR SHEEP STEALING SANTA ANA NOTES With all the innocence in the world, Julius J. Bressel, a dairyman of Cypress, put a new one over the counter of County Clerk William's office recently. Bressel, aged 29, native of Russia, was taking out his naturalization papers. Williams began asking him questions. "You have got all those things about me already," declared Bressel. "I got a marriage license here one time." Williams explained that he had forgotten the statistics and in answer to further questioning Bressel gave his weight as 160, the color of his hair as brown and of his eyes as blue. He declared he did not believe in polygamy. "Are you an anarchist?" asked Williams. "No sir," replied Bressel, "I am a Baptist." In spite of the fact that the money market is tight and school districts that have voted bonds have been unable to dispose of them, the new town of Stanton is going ahead with a project to build a new school house. Stanton is only two years old, and the townsite was laid out on the Pacific Electric a mile and a half from the nearest schools. It is proposed to build a school house in the town. A meeting of citizens has been called for Thursday of this week. Eduardo Alvarado planned to go to Mexico and have some fun killing people. He bought a big revolver and was trying to get a little money together before starting on the invasion. Along came an American boy named Collar, who laughed at Alvarado because he could not ride a bicycle well. Alvarado became angry and drew his revolver. He was arrested and today he was sentenced to six months in captain 15 per cent sugar, with 30 cents per ton added for each 1 per cent above 15 per cent.

Soto had a sheep stolen over near Los Alamitos. Since then a procession has moved irregularly through Justice Cox's court at Santa Ana to the county jail, for stealing the sheep, for receiving a part of the meat, and Friday morning Silvio Ruiz was brought in for receiving the pelt. Two witnesses appeared. Under Sheriff Dean, who saw Ruiz go from his house to the place where the pelt was found buried and made him dig it up, and Joe Fernando, now serving six months in the county jail for stealing the sheep, who testified that he brought the pelt to Ruiz's house, but did not give it to Ruiz. The latter said he had gone out that morning after wood. That on the way he saw a place where the ground had been disturbed, and thought something had been buried there. He put a tumble weed on the place and stamped it down, but could give no satisfactory explanation as to his motive in thus decorating the grave. Said he didn't know anything about any pelt, if there had been one at his house he would have smelt it. It was while he was moving away from the cache that Dean accosted him and made him dig it up. Justice Cox remarked that he was too gorgeous a liar to be at large and held him to the superior court to answer. Later in the day, Ruiz entered a plea of guilty before Judge West. MUCH CASH FOR BEET GROWERS Orange County Men to Reap a Golden Harvest This Season From present available figures, the sugar-beet growers will pocket all told $2,500,000 from the year's sugar beet crop. There are five big factories in Orange county that make sugar out of orange bogs. One of them the Santa Eduardo Alvarado planned to go to Mexico and have some fun killing people. He bought a big revolver and was trying to get a little money together before starting on the invasion. Along came an American boy named Collar, who laughed at Alvarado because he could not ride a bicycle well. Alvarado became angry and drew his revolver. He was arrested and today he was sentenced to six months in jail. His revolver was confiscated. After Garardo Solario was caught selling beer at Smeltzer, Deputy Constable McMillan took him to a telephone to call for a rig. Solario, handcuffed, tried to kick the phone off the wall, and there ensued a battle in which the officer won. Solario will be sentenced tomorrow. REALTY DEAL HINGED ON RESULT OF VOTE Danker Wouldn't Purchase in Anaheim If It Went Dry A $25,000 realty deal, made contingent on Anaheim remaining in the "wet" column, was completed Friday, following the result of the election on the saloon question. Theo. Danker owned 22 acres of land in Santa Ana canyon, just above Olive. It is planted to apricots, walnuts and oranges. It is a good property. It is worth $25,000. Guy Richards, of Orange, wanted the ranch. He had a good house and lot in Anaheim, which he wanted to trade in on the ranch. Danker wanted the house and lot for a home. He didn't want to live in Anaheim if it was to be a dry town. It takes two to make a trade. There were two parties to this trade, and both were agreed to terms, etc. Mr. Danker, however, was uncertain as to the result of the Anaheim election, and the only way in which Richards could make a deal with him, was to make it contingent upon Anaheim continuing as one of the two saloon towns in Orange county. This was agreed to. The election was held. The result suited Danker, and Friday morning the deal was completed. Danker will move to Anaheim and enjoy city life. Richards will move to the ranch and enjoy ranch life. A NEW SYSTEM Dr. E. W. Hauck, principal of the high school, has adopted a new system with regard to the grades of pupils.

There are five big factories in Orange county that make sugar out of sugar beets. One of them, the Santa Ana Co-Operative, located at Santa Ana, has completed the campaign. In sugar parlance the word campaign means the factory run. The other four factories are nearing the ends of their campaigns. The Santa Ana Co-Operative sliced 91,000 tons of sugar beets, and from that product it made 259,000 bags of sugar, 100 pounds to the bag, and 122,000 pounds of dried beet pulp, 100 pounds to the bag. The beet pulp is used as stock feed. Anaheim is about ready to close with a total of 60,000 tons cut. The Los Alamitos Sugar Company plant at Los Alamitos, the pioneer sugar refinery of the county, has had a good season, cutting 72,000 tons. It will close about November 25. The Holly Sugar Company at Huntington Beach expects to end its campaign this week. Last year this factory produced 326,298 bags of sugar as against 192,000 for the Santa Ana Co-Operative Sugar Company, which this year put out 259,000 bags. All over the county the sugar content has been low throughout the season. Lack of early rains has been to the benefit of the harvesters. The prices paid growers this year was practically $5.25 per ton for beets that con- ANAHEIM GAZETTE IN AND ABOUT THE CITY The Union Oil Company's new well No. 12, that has been drilling four months, was brought in last night. The roar of gas can easily be heard at Anaheim, a distance of nine miles. This well is situated on the Graham-Loftus lease near Oleo, a station on the Pacific Electric railroad. It is now throwing oil, gas and water and no effort will be made to hinder the flow. The gas, it is said, will not bother the residents near-by. Four warrants have been issued for Anaheim men. They are charged with fraudulent registration during the recent anti-saloon campaign. The accused men are J. Blakemore, J. C. Bourne, Walter W. Walker and Arthur B. Needham. The complaints are sworn to by Samuel Browne. The defendants are alleged to have registered when they have not been in the state, county or precinct as long as the law requires. The preliminary examinations were set for November 14. Each man is out on $1,000 bail. Quick action has been taken upon the decision of the Board of Trade to hold an arbor day this fall and declare a holiday for the purpose of planting trees in various parts of the city. J. F. Ahlborn, who had charge of the matter, states that the Anaheim union high school pupils have volunteered to take the business in hand and that they have fixed upon Feb. 22 as the date. It was suggested at the board of trade meeting that Washington's birthday, which was the date of the last arbor day, be designated. Judge West has sentenced David Valencia of Yorba to San Quentin for six years for an attack upon Miss E. Nordheim of this city. Miss Nordheim was the chief witness for the prosecution. She told how she was walking home from the Anaheim high school, and at a point on the outskirts of Ana- HOUSEKEEPERS Must be Watchful For great efforts are being made in this vicinity to sell baking powders of inferior class, made from alum acids and lime phosphates, both undesirable to those who require high-grade cream of tartar baking powder to make clean and healthful food. The official Government tests have shown Royal Baking Powder to be a pure, healthful, grape cream of tartar baking powder, of highest strength, and care should be taken to prevent the substitution of any other brand in its place. Royal Baking Powder costs only a fair price per pound, and is cheaper take the business in hand and that they have fixed upon Feb. 22 as the date. It was suggested at the board of trade meeting that Washington's birthday, which was the date of the last arbor day, be designated. Judge West has sentenced David Valencia of Yorba to San Quentin for six years for an attack upon Miss E. Nordheim of this city. Miss Nordheim was the chief witness for the prosecution. She told how she was walking home from the Anaheim high school, and at a point on the outskirts of Anaheim, along a main traveled road, where there were a number of eucalyptus trees and a tall hedge on one side and fields on the other, a man whom she identified as the defendant approached her from behind in a rig, leaped out and seized her, forcing her to her knees. In the struggle which followed she got her assailant's hand into her mouth, and in his efforts to free it, he broke out two of the girl's teeth. He then ran to his rig, climbed in, whipped up the horse and made his escape. She did not see him again until the officers had arrested him at Yorba. The Pacific Mausoleum Company has let the contract for the work on its beautiful mausoleum in the endowed cemetery adjoining the Anaheim cemetery. The Pozzo Construction Company, of Los Angeles, captured the general contract. The Pacific Ornamental Iron Works was given the ornamental metal work, the Misto Sons-Keenan Co. the marble and tile work. The main corridor of the building, which will be 119 feet long, 12 feet wide and 18 feet high, is to be lined entirely with marble. The company is making preparations to drill a new well on its grounds. Construction work on the building will probably begin by the 30th of November and it is expected it will be finished within five months. Charles E. Shattuck of Los Angeles was the architect. It will cost in the neighborhood of $50,000 and will be one of the most beautiful buildings in the county. The Mausoleum Company has entered into an agreement with the cemetery association, whereby the former will assume control of the cemetery. It will provide the cemetery with abundance of water, and for the present will act in the capacity of sexton under the endowment plan.

No definite plan of action had been fixed upon by the growers beyond a request that the Supervisors license fumigators on due certification of competency, and make such regulations as will insure the use of proper material and apparatus. Horticultural Commissioner Roy K. Bishop was called in from his office across the hall, and talked on the situation from the angle of one official touch, not only with the citrus fruits, but the many other horticultural interests of the county. A resolution was passed, instructing the district attorney and the horticultural commissioner to draft an ordinance that will be acceptable to the citrus interests. "The main idea," said Mr. Bishop, "is to secure honest and competent service in this important field." "The growers who were present at the meeting did not present anything in the nature of a demand for radical change. What they were after was cooperation by the county on a more effective basis in fighting and guarding against an evil that is a great and growing menace to the welfare of one of the most important industries of the county." CARD FROM ROYAL ARCH We wish to tender our sincere thanks to the good people of Anaheim who loyally supported liberal policies at the recent election, believing that the continued progress and prosperity of the city were being jeopardized by the disciples of intolerance. The decisive defeat administered to the "Blue Law" exponents not only prevented the uncompensated annihilation of our business, but was unmistakable evidence that the great majority of the people of Anaheim considered themselves competent to manage their internal affairs without the unsolicited advice of outsiders without a cents' worth of interest in the town.

One example is given in German papers where forty unemployed Berliners have done wonders with a tract of land placed at their disposal by the state. They have cleared six acres of wood, and out of the thousands of trees cut down have manufactured simple furniture and fencing. The German Agricultural Society has given them manure, and with this they have turned twenty acres into good, arable land. STRUCK AUTO—WENT ON Fred Gerken, of Orange, would like to know the name of the driver of a roadster which struck his machine Tuesday morning at the corner of French and Fourth streets and did slight damage to it. Gerken was driving east on East Fourth street, and at the intersection there was a mix up in which four machines came near coming together. Gerken applied the brakes and stopped his car, and prevented a smash-up, but the unknown driver cut across in front of him, the latter's car striking Gerken's machine, breaking a steering knuckle and tearing a front tire badly. The man driving the roadster did not stop to see what damage had resulted, and got out of sight as quickly as possible. Gerken is the catcher of the Anaheim baseball team.

SCHUMACHER Supervisor Third Dist. Anaheim, Cal., Nov. 5, 1913. HAD SUIT STOLEN A. A. Franke, who is employed as watchman at the Anaheim electric plant, reported to the sheriff at Satna Ana Tuesday the theft of a fine new suit of clothes the previous night. The clothes were hanging in the dressing room at the power house and were taken between 2 and 3 o'clock Monday morning. He believes a Mexican is the thief. Several nights ago he saw a Mexican peering in one of the windows and ordered him away. He returned again later. While the Mexican had not been seen by Franke since the night of his first visit, Franke believes he was there for the purpose of spying out the location, and returned last night, or rather this morning, and stole the suit. A hat belonging to Franke and a suit of underclothes belonging to E. Miller, another employee at the plant, were also taken. Franke paid $25 for the suit a few weeks ago.
