Entered at the Anaheim Postoffice as second-class matter. ON THE SIDE OF THE LORD The Lord is on the side of the man and woman who respects and obeys the law. The man who, disregarding this injunction, disobeys the law, and attempts to set it at defiance; who, not being a citizen of the United States, nor yet a legalized resident of the State of California, places his name upon the great register as a voter, with a view to exercise of the elective franchise—that man commits felony, and will be forsaken by the power of the commonwealth. Whether it be in defense of one side or the other of a controversy, he commits a crime, and should be punished. Men may be sent here, as Rev. Chapman observes, to reform and rejuvenate the town, but unless they obey the law they will find themselves behind the bars of a felon's cell. The Lord is not upon the side of a man who wilfully breaks the laws of the commonwealth. A PROFITABLE SEASON Manager Sandilands' report submitted to the stockholders of the Anaheim Fruit Association at the annual meeting on Saturday shows that the growers experienced remarkable conditions during the past season and closed with the most profitable year in the history of the association. After the memorable frost of January 8, he said, when so many sections of the citrus district sustained heavy damage, the directors erators, is offering a 20-year concession which gives exclusive rights to a tract comprising about 95,000 acres, which contains nearly 2 billion board feet of timber. It is required that the successful bidder shall keep up a certain minimum output which starts with 15 million board feet during the first two years and increases to an ultimate output of at least 21 million per year. A modern sawmill and logging equipment must be established and also a patrol system for the prevention of fires and trespass. A complete report on this body of timber, which can be had at the office of the director of forests in Manila or at the bureau of insular affairs in Washington, shows that the region occupied by the main body of the tract presents ideal logging conditions. This report shows that railroads can be built easily and cheaply and that the entire timber belt can be logged at a minimum of expense and trouble. The amount of timber per acre varies from 12,500 up to 30,000 board feet and more. In the four principal types of forest embraced in the area, much valuable material can be secured from even the least desirable type, and the most valuable types will, according to figures of the bureau, provide a handsome profit for an outlay comparatively small in relation to the value of the timber which is to be exploited. The principal kinds of wood are the lauans, excellent construction timbers and somewhat comparable, in mechanical properties, to the Pacific coast redwoods; yacal, one of the most valuable because of its great strength, and its resistance to destruction by white ants; apltong, quite comparable to the hard pines of the United States, and various other hardwoods which have already found a place as substitutes for mahogany. It is required that the successful apporter Ruddock came over to offer at public auction his rupt stock of J. F. Disharoon trician, whose business was some weeks ago. The sale was tised to begin at 11:15, but some technical delay she opposed the sale to an indefinite time. The executive board of the County Federation of Women held their meeting in Anaheim at which time they took up all of the establishment of a cottage at the county farm. Excellent movement was started early, and has been turned over above organization, which was as plans are completed, pursuant, in order that the building erected at an early date. That it is understood, will be free-wishing to occupy it, and will be greatly appreciated. Judge West Gives Them Strike as to Duties On Tuesday a grand jury selected, instructed, organized to work. Superior Judge Zane named Guy G. Richards, foreman of the body, and Chief of Huntington Beach, was retary. Committees were formed and the annual inquisition took place. The judge said that the grand jury is to audit its books, leaving the district money to attend to criminal matters. However, said the judge, she found that the district attorney neglected any criminal case jury should investigate it. The 19 men on the grand jury. A PROFITABLE SEASON Manager Sandilands' report submitted to the stockholders of the Anaheim Fruit Association at the annual meeting on Saturday shows that the growers experienced remarkable conditions during the past season and closed with the most profitable year in the history of the association. After the memorable frost of January 8, he said, when so many sections of the citrus district sustained heavy damage, the directors were for a time completely stunned as they believed that few if any oranges would be found fit for shipment and the season's crop was practically ruined. A drastic ruling of the government prohibits the shipment of frost damaged fruit, and the California Fruit Exchange issued an order that the reputation of the Sunkist and Red Ball brands should be protected at any cost. Immediate steps were taken at the packing-house to separate the bad from the good if there should be any good, and a patent separator was installed, but when the oranges began to come in it was found that the damage to the crop was ridiculously small in comparison with the first estimates, and the bulk of the fruit shipped by the association was equal to any that was ever sent into the eastern market. Mr. Sandilands was able to report that the crop handled by the association this year was sold for $261,000 as against $111,000 for last season. A portion of this increase was due to the addition of 40 members at the beginning of the season but increased membership does not account for all of it. Last year the membership was 90, and the total receipts $111,000, being $1,230 per capita. This season the membership is 130, the receipts for the crop being $261,000, or a little better than $2,000 per member. The total acreage controlled by the association is 1,000, the average receipts being $261 per acre. PHILIPPINE FORESTS The first big sale of Philippine timber, offering opportunities for lumbermen in the United States, has just been announced by the bureau of insular affairs of the war department. While there are American firms operating in the Philippines, it is pointed out by the officials of the bureau that the Philippine Islands offer to progressive lumbermen chances for profits not excelled by any other field in the world. The forest officers of the Philippines state that the islands contain 200 billion feet of merchantable timber for which there is a large present demand and that practically all of it is The principal kinds of wood are the lauans, excellent construction timbers and somewhat comparable, in mechanical properties, to the Pacific coast redwoods; yacal, one of the most valuable because of its great strength, and its resistance to destruction by white ants; apitong, quite comparable to the hard pines of the United States, and various other hardwoods which have already found a place as substitutes for mahogany. It is required that the successful applicant shall furnish a capital sufficient for the immediate prosecution of the work, the amount in this case being placed at not less than 100,000 pesos, Philippine currency, equivalent to $50,000. It is proposed that all bids for this timber shall be opened in Manila on December 10. For the benefit of prospective purchasers in America, however, unable to prepare their applications and have them received in Manila on or before that date, the bureau of insular affairs in Washington will on notification before the final day send a cablegram and have the time extended until the actual bids can be received in Manila. CALIFORNIA OIL The $1,250,000 gas works on which the Portland (Ore.) Coke & Gas Company has been working for the last two years is now in operation. It is situated on St. Helen's boulevard, just north of the government moorings. The gas is made from California crude oil, not from coal. The oil is run from the tank to the furnace, where it is subjected to a temperature of 1,800 degrees, Fahrenheit. Under the intense heat it becomes gaseous and the carbon and other compounds can be removed, leaving so large an excess of hydrogen that it remains in gaseous form. The carbon, which is now in the form of lampblack, is removed by passing the gas through a tank of water. The lampblack is left floating on the surface, and is afterwards made into briquettes for fuel. IN AND ABOUT THE CITY R. Fischle, of the Mission candy store, is putting in new plate glass show windows for the display of his confectionery. Mr. Fischle is an expert candy-maker and one peep at his stock would be sufficient to compel a person to go in and purchase. In order to insure that only good work will be done the county board has prepared an ordinance providing named Guy G. Richards, foreman of the body, and O. of Huntington Beach, was on retary. Committees were held and the annual inquisition took place.

The forest officers of the Philippines state that the islands contain 200 billion feet of merchantable timber for which there is a large present demand and that practically all of it is owned by the government and is available under very favorable terms. In almost all cases the forests can be easily logged by the most improved machinery and methods. The timber itself, it is pointed out, includes structural material of great value, in addition to many fine hardwoods particularly suited to cabinet work. In this latter class some of the most plentiful woods may be sold in competition with mahogany, such is their beauty of grain and richness of color. Manila is only two days' distance from Hongkong, and China, which has largely exhausted its timber, furnishes a ready market. Japan, Australia, and even the United States, will take Philippine lumber, which is admitted free to this country. One of the commonest Philippine timbers, red lauan, which works and finishes well, has been sold on the Pacific coast where it serves the same purposes as the finest redwood, which it somewhat resembles, as high as $80 per thousand board feet. Government timber in the Philippines is offered at a very low rate and it is stated that the labor problem is in no sense difficult. Investments by Americans are not only invited, but are encouraged. The philippine bureau of forestry, in this first sale which is being called to the attention of American timber oper- R. Fischle, of the Mission candy store, is putting in new plate glass show windows for the display of his confectionery. Mr. Fischle is an expert candy-maker and one peep at his stock would be sufficient to compel a person to go in and purchase. In order to insure that only good work will be done the county board has prepared an ordinance providing that all fumigators and sprayers shall demonstrate their fitness for the work and take out a county license. This will protect orchardists from incompetent men and poor work. The first high school debate of the season in which Anaheim orators participate will be held at Pasadena tomorrow night. The question is, "Resolved, that in demanding the closed shop, organized labor is working for the best interests of the American people." The Anaheim champions are Arthur Turck and Edmund Bradley, and they will be accompanied by a goodly delegation of high school pupils. Last winter Pasadena won over Anaheim by a narrow margin but the boys believe they cannot do it again. T. J. F. Boege was on Thursday elected a director of the German American bank, taking the place of E. A. Stockslager, deceased. Mr. Boege is one of the pioneer citizens of Anaheim, is a man of large wealth and business capacity, and will add materially to the strength of this financial institution. He has been for several years a large stockholder in the bank and will give the institution the benefit of his keen business sagacity and insight into financial affairs. The bank is to be congratulated upon securing his services as one of its board of directors. ANAHEIM GAZETTE No Substitutes RETURN to the grocer all substitutes sent you for Royal Baking Powder.

WINE INDUSTRY CLOSES Big Business Crowded Into the Last Few Weeks The sweet wine industry in California has closed and the figures indicate that the wine pressers made good progress in preparing for the Pomerene amendment to the tariff bill, proposing a tax of $1 a gallon on brandy used for fortifying purposes, by rushing work and pressing before the act went into effect. The Pomerene amendment was defeated in the last hours of the tariff debate, but meanwhile the sweet wine makers had hung up a new record for production. The figures just available at the office of Collector John P. Carter indicate a gain of 397,681.45 gallons over last year for the season ending October 31, 1913. The total production to the close of October, 1912, was 2,074,547.53 gallons; for the corresponding period, ending October, 1913, it was 2,472,228.98 gallons. This record is all the more conspicuous did not ripen as well as usual, making necessary the throwing away of thousands of tons of the fruit, unfit for wine-making. WORTH KNOWING If mixed with milk instead of water, mustard will not get dry, but will keep nice and fresh until it is all used up. Better paint the pantry shelves with white enamel. It is cleaner and more lasting than paper, and it is very attractive. A teaspoonful of sugar added to the water for basting meat will give it a rich brown color and the flavor will be much improved. When cooking liver and bacon, get a sour apple, slice it very fine and add it to the gravy. This will impart a delicious flavor. To retain the heat in sadirons, purchase a square soapstone and use it for an iron stand. The irons will remain hot twice as long.
