VOTERS ENDORSE PRESENT CITY GOVERNMENT POLICY OF CIVIC IMPROVEMENTS TO CONTINUE IN MUNICIPALITY STUBBORNLY FOUGHT CONTEST RESULTS IN SWEEPING VIC-TORY AT POLLS The Result Total vote in city... 1,428 Trustees J. H. Brunworth... 798 J. J. Schneider... 781 Geo. W. Hamler... 689 D. Gervals... 630 W. B. Allen... 599 F. T. Edmiston... 597 Treasurer Edgar J. Hartung... 718 Chas. A. Boege... 608 Hartung's majority... 110 For Clerk Edward B. Merritt... 1,147 have demonstrated their fitness for positions, and are deserving of re-appointment. William A. Wallace, who has made good as rate collector, will also be re-appointed, as will also Recorder Howard, Engineer Lewis and his efficient corps of assistants at the municipal power house, as well as City Engineer Steward. Deputy Marshal Germann and Officers Sackett and Iman will also be re-appointed. All these officials are good men, doing excellent service, and their retention in office will meet with approval of the citizens of the community. Mr. Schneider's large vote is especially gratifying to his many friends throughout the city. His record as being opposed to the open saloon on Sunday is well known throughout the city, as he was one of the first citizens to stand for this policy. At the election a number of years ago, when the voters decided to close saloons on the Sabbath, he was an active and consistent supporter of the project. The statement in our last week's issue, that he voted for Sunday closing while a member of the city board of trustees, was inaccurate, for, while he personally favored closing saloons on Sunday, no action to that end was taken by the board. After announcement of the result of the election on Monday evening, many friends of the successful candidates went to their residences and tendered them a serenade. Following is the vote by precincts: Precinct No. 1 Votes cast... 157 The Result Total vote in city 1,428 Trustees J. H. Brunworth 798 J. J. Schneider 781 Geo. W. Hamler 689 D. Gervais 630 W. B. Allen 599 F. T. Edmiston 597 Treasurer Edgar J. Hartung 718 Chas. A. Boege 608 Hartung's majority 110 For Clerk Edward B. Merritt 1,147 Salary Proposition Against proposition 754 For proposition 372 Majority against 382 Continuation of the present policy of civic improvements and advancement, the extension of the paved street area, the lowering of the electric light rates and a liberal and conservative city government are the net results of the contest at the polls on Monday. George W. Hamler, John H. Brunworth and J. J. Schneider were elected members of the board of trustees by majorities ranging from 59 to 168 over their nearest competitor. Edgar J. Hartung defeated Charles A. Boege for city treasurer by 110 votes and the proposition to pay the city trustees a salary of $20 per month was defeated by a majority of 382—a little better than two to one. The opposition centered its fire on George W. Hamler, the only member of the present board who stood for re-election. A circular letter attacking his record was issued and circulated by mail on Saturday. It bore the signature of the "Taxpayers' League," and was immediately denounced by the Anaheim Taxpayers' League as a bold attempt to steal the name and influence votes by purporting to emanate from that organization. This refutation was signed by the League's secretary, Herman Stern, and by Adolph Thomas, Frank Shanley, Roger C. Dutton and H. A. Dickel, members of the advisory board. On Saturday night a poster was issued by the opposition forces, signed by the publicity committee, H. O. Henderson, J. M. Gunnett and H. P. Tobin, disavowing the authorship or any knowledge of the anonymous letter, and declaring that they had diligently attempted to discover the author of the letter but were unable to do so or to learn where it was printed. The disavowal, however, wound up with the statement that they heartily endorsed the sentiments expressed therein as they coincided with their views. Notwithstanding the vigorous fight against him Mr. Hamler was elected by a substantial majority and will continue to advocate the civic improvements in favor of which he has repeatedly declared himself. He favors reduction of the electric lighting rate and will immediately take up this question at the council table and endeavor to secure a better rate for Anaheim consumers. The present rate is 10 cents per kilowat and Mr. Hamler hopes to secure a reduction to 7 cents. Neighboring cities decided to close saloons on the Sabatha, he was an active and consistent supporter of the project. The statement in our last week's issue, that he voted for Sunday closing while a member of the city board of trustees, was inaccurate, for, while he personally favored closing saloons on Sunday, no action to that end was taken by the board. After announcement of the result of the election on Monday evening, many friends of the successful candidates went to their residences and tendered them a serenade.

He favors reduction of the electric lighting rate and will immediately take up this question at the council table and endeavor to secure a better rate for Anaheim consumers. The present rate is 10 cents per kilowat and Mr. Hamler hopes to secure a reduction to 7 cents. Neighboring cities enjoy a rate of from 4 to 6 cents, and Mr. Hamler thinks Anaheim can afford a substantial reduction and will work to that end. Precincts No. 7 and 8 were the only two carried by the opponents of the present administration, No. 7 giving a majority of 20 and No. 8 practically the same. No. 7 is the city hall precinct and No. 8's polling place was the Broadway school. No. 3, Central school building, was the banner precinct of the liberal ticket, the vote there being almost two to one in favor of Brunworth, Hamler and Schneider. At the election last November when the question of licensing saloons was a clear-cut issue, 1,576 votes were cast against a total of 1,428 on Monday, a falling off of nearly 150 votes notwithstanding the registration for Monday's election was 1,731, considerably larger than for the fall election. Three hundred voters who were on the rolls failed to cast their ballots Monday, although it was expected that the heaviest vote ever cast in the city would result from the warm campaign and the well-defined issues at stake. Owing to the increase in the number of voting precincts there was no congestion as on former occasions and the vote was practically all cast an hour before closing of the polls. Scores of automobiles were on the street all day carrying voters to the polls. Very little challenging was done at any of the precincts. In No. 5, the Fremont school, where much bitterness was engendered by over zealous challengers in the November election, a few electors were held up for a time but all were passed as qualified voters by the board. One result of the election will be the retention in office of the city's appointive officials. These include Homer G. Ames as city attorney and John Kellenberger as marshal, both of whom For Clerk—Merritt 110. For salary 36, against 73.

For salary 60, against 166. The board will meet at the city hall on Monday evening and organize. Trustee Hamler is being spoken of for mayor. ELECTIONS AT OTHER POINTS Newport Beach The chief issue at Newport Beach was the proposition to license saloons. The saloons won by a vote of 199 to 176. George P. Wilson, Stetson R. Jumper and H. A. Robertson were elected trustees. The city voted to pay its trustees a salary of $15 per month by 244 to 87. Huntington Beach No issue of consequence was involved in the election at Huntington Beach. 380 votes were cast, W. B. Huston, Will E. Tarbor and C. S. Burdschub being elected trustees. For city clerk C. R. Nutt was elected and R. E. Graves had no opposition for treasurer. Orange Miss Alma Grum was defeated for treasurer at Orange by a vote of 535 for W. E. Clement against 382 for herself. T. C. Stoner and Henry Terry were elected trustees and G. W. Hallman city clerk. Stanton According to the returns the vote cast at Stanton must have been unanimous. E. B. Hosking and J. F. Roe each received 44 votes for city trustee. They will serve for the long term. William H. Kennedy, Jr., and Benjamin R. Shiff each received 44 votes, for short-term service as trustees. F. C. Beecher was elected to the office of city clerk by 45 votes and Harry Barter was elected for treasurer by the same number. Fullerton The question of voting $10 per month salary to the trustees carried at Fullerton by a majority of 88; 720 votes were cast in that city. Four trustees were chosen, August Hitcher and E. Livingstone being elected for the four-year term and George Annin and R. Gregory for the two years. George Treher was elected city clerk in a three-cornered fight. William Collis defeated John Gardner for city treasurer by 40 majority.

DISTURBER Josefa Martinez extraction, who rebeen badly pesterized, who wants Peto is no relative simply a persistent She would have told him so many ANAHEIM GAZETE ANAHEIM CALIFORNIA, THURSDAY, APRIL 16, 1914 NATURAL GAS IS PROMISED MONDAY COUNTY MANAGER CHAMPION OF THE GAS COMPANY SAYS PIPE LINE COMPLETED ANAHEIM, ORANGE AND SANTA ANA WILL BE CONNECTED ON SAME DAY Natural gas, nature's most wonderful product, will be turned into the Anaheim mains and supersede the manufactured article next Monday, according to a statement made by County Manager Champion of the Southern Gas Company. Not only will it take the place of manufactured gas in the plates, cook stoves and ranges, but it is probable that all heating stoves and grates will be fitted with gas connections and it will soon be the universal fuel of the town. Turning the gas into the mains at Anaheim also means supplying Orange and Santa Ana, as the that made no difference in the unwelcome attentions which Pete showered on her devoted head. She determined to end it, and last Thursday, imbibed, it is alleged, a supply of Mexican courage, thinking she would give Pete a warm reception if he came pestering 'round her any more. He did not, but some of the neighbors were attracted by her outcries, and telephoned to the office of the sheriff that she was 'acting up.' Deputy Sheriff Law went to Talbert, placed her under arrest, and landed her in the county jail. SAN DIEGO MAN KILLED BY AUTO Car Jumps Off of Grade and Rolls Down Bank Four Santa Ana men were near witnesses to an accident Sunday which resulted in the death of Harry Shrick, presumably a resident of San Diego. The Santa Ana men were Walter E., Chas. E., Lon E., and G. R. Morris. They took the body of the man into Oceanside and left it in an undertaking establishment there. The accident happened about two o'clock on the Ysidore grade near San Luis Rey. Shrick was returning to BEEBE DEFEATED BY A NOSE AT STANFORD LOWERED THE WORLD'S RECORD BUT LOST MILE RACE BY A FEW INCHES WILL COMPETE WITH TIPTON AND ANNIN IN HALF MILE SATURDAY Saturday was an off day for Anaheim on the cinder path. Notwithstanding the fact that he had 18 straight victories to his credit and his friends had begun to look upon him as invincible, Clarence Beebe permitted himself to be defeated in the milrace at Stanford by a mere nose, Berry of Redlands being the winner. The race was neck and neck until within a few feet of the tape when the Redlands man made a lunge and won by an inch or two. Although defeated by a scratch for first place there was glory in it for Natural gas, nature's most wonderful product, will be turned into the Anaheim mains and supersede the manufactured article next Monday, according to a statement made by County Manager Champion of the Southern Gas Company. Not only will it take the place of manufactured gas in the plates, cook stoves and ranges, but it is probable that all heating stoves and grates will be fitted with gas connections and it will soon be the universal fuel of the town. Turning the gas into the mains at Anaheim also means supplying Orange and Santa Ana, as the systems of those towns are connected and all of them have been using gas manufactured at the company's plant at Santa Ana. These cities, therefore, will be connected with the wells simultaneously, the gas for Orange and Santa Ana passing through the Anaheim mains. This service will be supplied through a main running directly from Olinda to Anaheim by way of Placentia. It was at first planned to supply the three cities through the Fullerton connection, but the company decided to lay a new main directly to Anaheim, cutting out the Fullerton connection. The size of the pipe connecting Fullerton with the wells, which was considered too small to carry the volume required, was given as the reason for laying the Anaheim-Olinda main. A gang of men has been at work several weeks laying this pipe. They are now advancing at the rate of 1,000 feet per day and have arrived at the outskirts of Anaheim. It is sufficiently large to supply ample fuel to our neighboring cities. Fullerton was connected two weeks ago at which time Anaheim had a small sample of it circulating through her pipes in consequence of a leaky valve on the connecting line between this city and Fullerton. It lasted elss than a day as the leakage was speedily stopped. Fullerton people now using the gas claim it is satisfactory in all respects with the exception that it yields more soot than the gas generated from oil. All the stoves and plates burning gas will have to be adjusted and altered to meet the change when the natural gas is turned in. This can only be done after the connection is made and the work will be performed by employees of the gas office. Burners will be supplied to heating stoves and grates where it is desired to connect them. It is probable that most of the heaters will be connected owing to cheaper rate and its advantages over wood and coal as a fuel. The present rate of $1.25 will be reduced to 75 cents under the new system. This, in addition to the fact that natural gas is more than one-third stronger than manufactured gas makes it little more than half the cost. Santa Ana now pays $1 per 1,000. AH FOO RUN DOWN BY AUTO No Damage to His Person But a Broken Wheel Resulted Car Jumps Off of Grade and Rolls Down Bank Four Santa Ana men were near witnesses to an accident Sunday which resulted in the death of Harry Shrick, presumably a resident of San Diego. The Santa Ana men were Walter E., Chas. E., Lon E., and G. R. Morris. They took the body of the man into Oceanside and left it in an undertaking establishment there. The accident happened about two o'clock on the Ysisdore grade near San Luis Rey. Shrick was returning to San Diego from Los Angeles with a new five-passenger car, and from accounts he must have steered the car off the grade while looking at his speedometer, or at something else which attracted his attention. The car rolled down the embankment, turning over several times. Mr. Shrick was pinioned under the car, his neck being caught in such a manner as to cause death by strangulation. A sister-in-law and a little girl who were with him in front seat escaped without injury. An automobile party following rushed to the assistance of the injured man, but were unable to raise the heavy machine. One of them went to San Luis Rey after a physician, but by the time the latter reached the point Shrick had died. The Morris brothers were at San Luis Rey and as soon as they heard of the accident they rushed to the grade. The woman and little girl were taken to San Diego, and the Morris brothers took the body to Oceanside. The dead man carried a card showing him to be a member of Elks' Lodge, No. 88, at Long Beach. He was about 65 years of age. BUSINESS BLOCK FOR EAST CENTER Substantial Building May Shortly Be Built Opposite Masonic Temple One of the improvements which rumor states will shortly be added to the building operations on East Center street is a substantial business block on the corner of Center and South Philadelphia streets, directly opposite the Masonic temple. This property is owned by R. G. Spaerl and it was reported that Mr. Spaerl intended to begin the immediate erection of a two-story brick or cement business block on the grounds. Mr. Spaerl, however, states that the report is premature. Negotiations have been in progress with regard to the erection of such a structure but at present appears to be a hitch in the proceedings which will delay action indefinitely. The present plans may be abandoned altogether and new ones formed before work is begun on that corner. That a building will shortly be built there is acknowledged as the location is too valuable to be allowed to lie idle. It is one of the best business locations in the city and would never be vacant for lack of tenants. Mr. Spaerl has faith in the development Saturday was an off day for Anaheim on the cinder path. Notwithstanding the fact that he had 18 straight victories to his credit and his friends had begun to look upon him as invincible, Clarence Beebe permitted himself to be defeated in the milerace at Stanford by a mere nose, Berry of Redlands being the winner. The race was neck and neck until within a few feet of the tape when the Redlands man made a lunge and won by an inch or two. Although defeated by a scratch for first place there was glory in it for Beebe as both sprinters beat the world's interscholastic record, held by MacKenzie of Phillips-Exeter academy, made in 1911. The time made by Berry was 4m 26 2-5s and the distance between Beebe and himself was so slight as to be unmeasurable. This was 10 seconds lower than the Anaheim man's previous time made at Los Angeles two weeks ago. Tipton of U. S. C., was looked upon as a sure winner of the 880-yard heat by all the experts in the tri-college meet at Los Angeles Saturday but was left a dozen feet at the tape by Aunin of Occidental. It was an off day for Anaheim men. The defeat of Beebe was one of the accidents of the game which frequently befall the best of men in all lines of sport. Beebe had previously defeated Berry with ease and the Redlands man's victory was the biggest surprise of the meet. Doped for no better than third place the Redlands captain from the start of the race, ran neck and neck, with the so far invincible Beebe, until the last ten yards when inch by inch he slowly drew ahead of the game youth from Anaheim and broke the tape less than a foot ahead of Beebe. So close was the finish of this race that both boys ran the mile in world's record time. Hats off to Berry and Beebe, future Olympic champions. Douglass entered in the 440 race but it was one of his off days also and he failed to get into the points although crossing the line fourth. Beebe did not compete in the half mile at Stanford because it was called immediately after the mile heat and his coach deemed it unwise for him to attempt it. This is his best race. In fact he is considered the swiftest half mile sprinter on the coast notwithstanding he is still a high school boy and lacks a few years of having developed into his best. He will appear at the Baer field on the Occidental grounds at Los Angeles on Saturday and will probably enter only in the half mile race. His chief opponents will be an Anaheim and a Fullerton man, and probably the Redlands boy who defeated him at Stanford. Speaking prophetically of this race a Los Angeles sporting editor, who keeps tab on all the hopes in Southern California, says: "The half-mile race will be a whirlwind. Bill Annin, who regained the collegiate crown from Tipton and the Trojan who held it for a short time, only, meet in Beebe the speedster who promises to wrench the wreath from both. Beebe has made better time than either. He is most sensational 880 man who has ever won his spurs in southern pream ranks." AH FOO RUN DOWN BY AUTO No Damage to His Person But a Broken Wheel Resulted Ah Foo, the Chink, whose career has been full of vicissitudes and varied experiences, had an escapade Monday that should have ended seriously but he emerged from it with only a badly damaged bike and an awful scare. He had been working in the rear of the Anaheim restaurant and started home on his wheel by way of the alley. John Ziegler was coming down the alley in his auto at the same time. A high stockade cuts off the view at this point and the Chinaman shot into the alley directly in front of the machine which happened to be picking its way slowly through the alley. He was knocked down and run over but the machine was going so slowly that it stopped with one wheel resting on the bicycle underneath which was Ah Foo, lying on his stomach with his arms and legs spread, yelling for assistance in broken English interpolated with a few untranslatable Chinese words. It was necessary to use a jack to lift the wheel of the auto from his body and when extricated it was found that he had suffered no injury whatever. His wheel, however, was badly broken. The Chinaman appeared to think that Mr. Huenemeyer, proprietor of the restaurant, was responsible for his accident as he told him to go home just in time to meet the auto. Ah Foo thought $5 would pay for the wrecked wheel and the damage to his system, but Mr. Ziegler sent the bike to a repair shop where it will be made as good as new. DISTURBED THE PEACE Josefa Martinez, a lady of Mexican extraction, who resides in Talbert, has been badly pestered by one Pete Martinez, who wants her to live with him. Peto is no relative of the fair Josefa, simply a persistent admirer, that's all. She would have none of him and has told him so many a time and oft, but Mr. Spaerl, however, states that the report is premature. Negotiations have been in progress with regard to the erection of such a structure but at present there appears to be a hitch in the proceedings which will delay action indefinitely. The present plans may be abandoned altogether and new ones formed before work is begun on that corner. That a building will shortly be built there is acknowledged as the location is too valuable to be allowed to lie idle. It is one of the best business locations in the city and would never be vacant for lack of tenants. Mr. Spaerl has faith in the development of East Center street, and thinks that business will continue to push toward the Santa Fe railroad. The width of the street and the fact that it is the pathway to the depot gives it an advantage in a business way. NEW ADMINISTRATOR In order to continue an action brought in the superior court several months ago, it was found necessary to have an administrator appointed for the estate of Maurilla Thomas. Fred Fette was administartor, but he died a short time ago. S. M. Reinhaus petitioned for letters, and the appointment has been made. The appointment was over the objection of Attorneys Williams and Rutan, representing C. W. Hedges, O. W. Gregg, L. W. Bushard, H. H. Crone, Louise Royer and Anaheim Investment Company, who declare that they own property that is claimed by the estate of Maurilla Thomas. The objection stated that the objectors secured their title from John Thomas, widower of Maurilla Thomas, and that there is nothing in Maurilla Thomas' estate. Reinhaus and Attorneys Scarborough and Forgy declare that the property, worth $20,000, belongs to the estate. The property in question is at Anaheim. Harry W. Watson, of the Hollywood Cemetery Association, in Los Angeles, was in town this week looking after his extensive realty holdings in the Katella district. Mr. Watson and his father own 70 acres in that section and have recently put in a pumping plant that lifts 100 inches of water. They have 50 acres in Valencias, 5 in lemons and 15 in walnuts. The gentlemen are highly pleased with their holdings here and regard this section as being among the best. Mrs. Julia Hickerson Gives Easter Party to Youngsters Baracca-Philathea classes of the M. E. church gave an Easter social at the home of Mrs. Hickerson, East Adele street, Saturday evening. Miss Bertha and Elmer Imus were the host and hostess of the evening. The Philatheas furnished the refreshments and the Baraccas the entertainment. Among the many amusements was a debate, "Resolved, that a scolding wife is more disagreeable than a smoking chimney." It was affirmed by the boys and denied by the girls. Mr. Wellman led the boys and Miss Kate Sutherland the girls. The affirmative won, 26 to 22. Another feature of the evening was an eating contest. Two men were blindfolded and each given a dish of puffed rice and spoon. They were to feed each other. Eggs with painted faces and tall hats, with sandwiches and coffee were served.

It is alleged in the complaint on file that the current that escapes between Richfield and Stern stations on the La Habra electric line, is being conducted back to power headquarters through the iron water mains that parallel the railroad tracks, and that the electricity has done esrious damage to the pipes. The complaint was filed in San Francisco. ALL DAY SESSION WILL BE HELD High School Parent Teachers Plan Interesting Meeting The Parent Teachers' Association of the Anaheim High School, have arrangements completed for a meeting somewhat out of the ordinary, for next Tuesday, April 21. This will be visiting day for all patrons and friends of the school, the general public being invited to attend the regular study periods and thus witness the progressive school at work. This interesting affair has been planned for all day. Mrs. E. M. Strong, of Long Beach, will address the girls of the school during the general assembly period, which is from 1 to 1:15 o'clock, on the subject of "Simplified Dress." Mrs. Strong will exhibit a sample of the every-day dress worn by the girls of the Long CABLES FATHER ABOARD SHIP IN RED SEA NEWS OF MONDAY'S CITY ELECTION FLASHED AROUND WORLD TO GLOBE TROTTERS E. J. HARTUNG CABLES HIS FATHER OF HIS ELECTION AS TREASURER Edgar J. Hartung on Tuesday sent a cablegram to his father apprizing him of the result of the election in Anaheim on Monday. It notified him that by the will of the people this city would continue its policy of progress and that his son would maintain his post as guardian of the city's strong box. Mr. and Mrs. Hartung are now on the Indian Ocean headed for the Red Sea, having sailed from Colombo, Ceylon. The cablegram goes from here to Honolulu, is transferred to an Australian station, and from thence flashes past the vessel to Aden, on the Arabian shore of the Red Sea, where the Anaheim globe trotters will arrive tomor- THE CITRUS MARKETS The Fruit World, in its review of the citrus situation, says: "The market on navels shows some improvement over a week ago, and with the heavy supplies of stock in all markets rapidly cleaning up and shipments decreasing materially, the situation looks more favorable than at any time this season for a continued improvement in general market conditions. "Reports from Florida state that the movement of oranges from that state is gradually decreasing and each week's shipments show a considerable falling off. There are a few cars of late Valencias still to go forward; but the large distributors do not anticipate any heavy movement of Florida fruit from now on. Grapefruit makes up the bulk of the shipments of Florida citrus fruit at this time. "The trade throughout the east reports that the fruit arriving is showing up in much better condition than former shipments—the quality shows a marked improvement, and, with generally favorable weather conditions prevailing, there is no reason to anticipate other than satisfactory market conditions with generally higher prices from this time on. "Of the navels remaining to be shipped, the San Antonio, Ontario and Cucamonga districts of the exchange have nearly one half, so that practically half of the crop yet to be marketed will come from the territory between Lordsburg and Cucamonga. "Very encouraging reports are coming in from all districts on the Valencia crop, and some exceptionally good prices are looked for on the late fruit. "The month of March was a record breaker on shipments, a total of 7,761 car loads of citrus fruit having been shipped from the state. "The market on California lemons is only fair. The speculative demand that existed in the western markets has fallen off and the low price that prevails for foreign lemons in the eastern markets, together with the large quantity selling each week, offers very little inducement for California shippers to attempt to market their lemons in those markets. A few cars of high-grade California lemons have sold exceptionally well in the eastern marblegram to his father apprizing him of the result of the election in Anaheim on Monday. It notified him that by the will of the people this city would continue its policy of progress and that his son would maintain his post as guardian of the city's strong box. Mr. and Mrs. Hartung are now on the Indian Ocean headed for the Red Sea, having sailed from Colombo, Ceylon. The cablegram goes from here to Honolulu, is transferred to an Australian station, and from thence flashes past the vessel to Aden, on the Arabian shore of the Red Sea, where the Anaheim globe trotters will arrive tomorrow. It was Edgar's intention to catch Mr. Hartung by wireless, but the vessel on which they are sailing is not equipped with the apparatus, consequently the message was sent to the nearest port of call by cable. It is the intention of Mr. and Mrs. Hartung to spend three days at Aden before again taking ship for passage through the Suez canal into the waters of Europe. Aden, it is claimed, is the hottest seaport in the world, and only the natives and the camels, who are to the manner born, can long withstand its blistering heat. Mrs. Hartung sends word that a canopy covering the head and shoulders is provided tourists in these torrid climes for the purpose of protecting them from the intense heat and preventing sunstroke. After leaving Aden, if they do not succumb to the heat, Mr. and Mrs. Hartung will sail through the canal into the Mediterranean, their next stop being in Egypt where they will view the remnants of the monuments built by the Pharoahs who ruled Egypt in the days of Moses. After seeing the Pyramids, the Pphlnx, the ruins of Karnak, the crocodiles and all the sights of historic interest on the banks of the Nile Mr. and Mrs. Hartung will take ship for Italy. They will spend considerable time in that beautiful country before passing into the heart of Europe, where they expect to spend several weeks in the home of their ancestors. TREES ALONG THE WAYSIDE Those who advocate the planting of trees along the wayside should all head for Tustin where they can see their dreams actually accomplished. Nowhere can there be found more beautiful drives. Here are level roadways broad and perfectly graded with great branches overhead reaching out from great tree trunks that have taken years to develop. There are rows of trees on either side of the way with their far extending boughs interlocking overhead as you roll along the delightful drives. As far as you can see ahead it is one long and wonderful sylvan aisle leading out into the unknown of beauty and charm. And along the way there are beautiful homes. The kind of homes that are built for comfort and service are here. Other places are discussing the advisability of doing what Tustin has already done. The government has recently issued a booklet dealing with this sort of a tree problem. Tustin can show miles of ideal drives shaded by sylvan canopies that are worth traveling miles to see.

"The market on California lemons is only fair. The speculative demand that existed in the western markets has fallen off and the low price that prevails for foreign lemons in the eastern markets, together with the large quantity selling each week, offers very little inducement for California shippers to attempt to market their lemons in those markets. A few cars of high-grade California lemons have sold exceptionally well in the eastern markets, but the demand is limited and any quantity of lemons offered would undoubtedly meet the fate that the foreign product is now facing. A week ago foreign lemons averaged $2.17 for all sales during the week and this week the average dropped to $2. A cargo in Boston yesterday averaged $1.75, while the cargo that sold in New York averaged $1.95. Prices on foreign lemons are the lowest that they have been in six or seven years and the situation is anything but encouraging. "Latest estimates show that California's lemon crop for this season will total close to 4,000 cars, of which about 3,600 cars were still to go after the first of April." PETTY THIEVES AT WORK Several thefts of articles taken from automobiles at Santa Ana lately have been reported to the police, and this is fast becoming so common as to be worse than a nuisance. Anything loose in an auto seems to be nuts for these petty thieves, as in many cases the value of articles taken is absurdly small. One of the latest things to be reported as stolen from an auto was a darkbrown suitcase, taken from an auto at the corner of Fifth and Main streets, last Saturday night. The time has gone by when one could leave a machine and go strolling off for an hour or two, and find his effects intact when he returned. It is not always the value of the thing taken so much as the want of it, for wraps are among the favorite plunder of these petty thieves, and they are taken when it is impossible to replace them, and colds and other complaints are the result of absence of the wraps. The best thing to do is not to leave a thing portable in a machine unless it is to be well watched. EXPERIMENT IN TEA CULTURE According to a press report an ex-periment in tea growing in Southern California is to be made by Sir Thomas Lipton, several hundred 3-year-old tea plants having been shipped to California with a nurseryman in charge. In a message to T. L. Clancy, manager of his Los Angeles office, the tea merchant is reported to have said: "If climate and conditions are right, hope to be able to produce good quality of tea in California." An experimental garden of two acres will be planted in the exposition grounds at San Diego and a $10,000 tea house will be erected, where California tea will be served to visitors at the fair. LINOLEUM FACTORY The big plant of the Huntington Beach linoleum plant will in the near future have a group of buildings covering 15 acres of ground; the first unit, now nearing completion, is the one in which oilcloth only will be manufactured, and stands on a fine six-acre site, donated by the Huntington Beach Company. This building is a rectangular brick, 66x326 feet, and is now almost completed, and about 40 men are employed in the construction work. The oil boiling machinery has been installed and the big boiler now rests in its permanent position, and other machinery is arriving and being placed about the new structure. Company officials state that the capacity of the factory when completed according to present plans will be 1,450 rolls of oil-cloth per day; each orll will contain 12 yards of cloth, 1¼ yards in width; and the building is so arranged that by the installation of additional machinery the output of the plant can be doubled at any time the demand for the product warrants the additional expenditure.
