NEEDHAM GIVEN OLD-TIME GLAD HAND FORMER MEMBER OF CONGRESS UNANIMOUSLY ENDORSED BY REPUBLICANS OF COUNTY MADE FIRST SPEECH IN 1898 CAMPAIGN IN THIS CITY—DELIVERS GREAT ADDRESS (Continue from page 1) in Southern California to stand again as a candidate for Congress from the 11th district, and it was for the purpose of learning the sentiments of Republicans toward his candidacy in this county that he consented to come to Santa Ana and address the county central committee. He had important personal business at home and had just returned from a several months' visit east, but he came up on the first train leaving San Diego after his arrival there to meet with members of his party here. Needham's name was presented to the meeting, after his address, by Roger Y. Williams of Santa Ana, who eulogized him highly as a patriotic Republican, and who said the time had arrived when it was necessary that the interests of the people of this district were represented at Washington, not by a free-trade Democrat, but by a Republican who believed in the principles of protection and prosperity. The motion was seconded by Samuel Armor of Orange and several others, and on a rising vote every man in the hall arose. Announcement of the vote by Chairman Howard provoked loud and enthusiastic applause. Needham's speech was a great oratorical effort, and sounded the keynote of the campaign which will result in placing a protectionist in the house of representatives from this district, which is now depending upon these industries. The Underwood tariff bill cuts the citrus tariff schedule from one cent per pound to four-fifths of a cent per pound. When Mr. Underwood was approached by California Democratic congressmen, Kettner, Church and Raker, and he was asked to make this reduction half a cent a pound, he informed them that Francis Burton Harrison, recently appointed by President Wilson, to the governor generalship of the Philippines, and who represented a large firm of New York importers, had made a last request upon him (Underwood) previous to his leaving for the far east, that the citrus tariff cut be permitted to remain at four-fifths of a cent per pound. These California Democratic congressmen implored Underwood that they might be permitted to go home and show their constituents that they possessed some influence with the Democratic administration, but Mr. Harrison, who was not then a member of Congress, had more influence with Underwood. It seems, than these Democrats, even though he was ten thousand miles away. "The Democratic policy of free sugar means nothing more nor less than the destruction of this great industry. The United States has received a tariff of $52,000,000 per year upon imported sugar, and this the Democratic administration seeks to abolish. This tariff tax is paid by the American Sugar Trust, which imports all this raw sugar. This enormous sum of money is made a free gift to them by Mr. Wilson's administration. Do you think the sugar trust will put its hands in its pockets and return this money to the people in cheaper sugar? The price of sugar in the markets today does not point to that result. On account of the Democratic policy as to free sugar, beet growers of Orange county this year will receive $200,000 less for their product than they did a year ago. When the Democratic policy of free sugar goes entirely into effect in 1916 it will mean the destruction of this great industry, in which millions upon millions of dollars have been invested. Your factories dot the valleys of California, giving employment to thousands of laborers, and disbursing millions of dollars annually, and yet there is nothing ahead of them but ruin and destruction at the hands of the Democratic Mr. Needham's Speech "While in Washington some weeks ago," said Needham, "I received a telegram signed by many hundreds of citrus growers in Riverside, San Bernardino, San Diego and Orange counties, asking me to become the Republican candidate for Congress in this district. I replied stating that I should be home about the middle of May, and I would take up with them individually the matter whether or not I should consent again to enter politics and to be their candidate for congressman. I am not a candidate for the office, and indeed would much prefer to confine myself to a consideration of my own personal and private affairs, for I believe I have reached that time of my life when it is more important for me to provide for the immediate interests of my own family, rather than again to enter into a political campaign. I am not here to seek this office, but it is rather for the purpose of meeting my friends, old and new, and discussing with them the proprieties of the situation as they now present themselves to us. "I have represented the people of California in the house of representatives for 14 years. I was a member of the committee on ways and means, and rose from 14th to 6th place on that committee. If I shall return to Washington, and this, of course, remains with the people of this district, I am confident that I could again take my place as the 6th member upon this committee. I was first nominated for Congress at Newport Beach in this county in 1898. I see many of my old-time supporters in this meeting, and feel myself under great obligations to them for their cordial and united support given me in the past. I was again re-nominated at Coronado in 1900. In that year the decennial federal census gave California two additional congressmen, and I found myself in the 6th district, although I never failed to represent, with the best of my ability, the interests of the people of the southern counties who first elected me to this office. I was re-elected continuously until 1912, when dissensions in our own party contributed to my defeat. I felt that I should retire from politics for, as I say, the interests of my family are paramount with me, and being a poor man, I resolved to devote my energy to their maintenance and support, rather than to continue in public life. Now, I am not here seeking this office, but finding a telegram in San Diego from the Republican county cen-kets today does not point to that result. On account of the Democratic policy as to free sugar, beet growers of Orange county this year will receive $200,000 less for their product than they did a year ago. When the Democratic policy of free sugar goes entirely into effect in 1916 it will mean the destruction of this great industry, in which millions upon millions of dollars have been invested. Your factories dot the valleys of California, giving employment to thousands of laborers, and disbursing millions of dollars annually, and yet there is nothing ahead of them but ruin and destruction at the hands of the Democratic administration. The United States produces 25 per cent of the sugar consumed by it, and the independent factories in operation throughout the country have brought the price of sugar to the lowest figure ever recorded. With your sugar factories destroyed and the output in control of the trust, prices will go higher. You will pay more for your sugar, and a great American industry will be at end. "I see a great Republican ground swell sweeping over the country, and I think it is sweeping over California and this district as well. The impression east, wherever I have been, is that a Republican house of representatives will be elected this year, and there is an excellent chance for electing a Republican senate as well. This district needs a representative in Congress who is not continually actuated by sentiments of the pork barrel, but rather by a protectionist representing the interests of the entire people." Needham spoke for more than an hour, making a telling and patriotic address. He was one of the most eloquent men in Congress, and frequently engaged in debate with such Democratic leaders as Champ Clark, Underwood, John Sharpe Williams and others. He always stood for protection to California industries, and is doubtless the most influential man the state has ever had at the national capital. He has gained in years and experience since his first election in 1898, and is still vigorous in the prime of manhood. His speech was frequently interrupted by loud and long-continued bursts of applause, and at its conclusion he was surrounded by the entire assemblage who congratulated him upon his splendid effort. At its conclusion Roger Williams arose and in a brief but forceful address, placed Needham in nomination for Congress from the 11th district. Samuel Armor arose and seconded the motion, Chairman Howard called for a rising vote, and the entire assemblage arose to its feet amid great applause. Needham was visibly affected at this genuine testimonial of esteem. Brief addresses were made by District Attorney L. A. West and Deputy District Attorney Walter Eden. The latter's address was confined to a discussion of the tariff, and he received genuine applause from the large crowd present. "You men of Orange county always stood loyally by me," he said after the meeting was over, "and I have never ceased to recall your kindnesses. I remember my first speech in my campaign for congressman in 1898 in Anaheim. I remember the incident of the Spanish flag, and I shall never forget that meeting." 6th district, although I never failed to represent, with the best of my ability, the interests of the people of the southern counties who first elected me to this office. I was re-elected continuously until 1912, when dissensions in our own party contributed to my defeat. I felt that I should retire from politics for, as I say, the interests of my family are paramount with me, and being a poor man, I resolved to devote my energy to their maintenance and support, rather than to continue in public life. "Now, I am not here seeking this office, but finding a telegram in San Diego from the Republican county central committee of this county, to come here and address them upon the political issues of the day, I have come to meet my friends and to discuss the situation with them. In 1898 the seventh congressional district ran to a point further north than San Francisco. If I had stopped to consider the vast extent of the district I should never have committed myself to enter the contest. In 1896, by a fusion of Democrats, Socialists and free silver Republicans, the socialist Castle had been elected. I had to fight these forces in 1898, and was elected by 130 votes in the district. In 1900 I was re-elected by 4,800 votes. "I have just returned from a business visit east, and I found everywhere evidences of depression consequent upon the Democratic administration. Thousands of men are idle in every state, factories are closing, and a panicky feeling seems rampant throughout the country. The president's un-American stand upon repeal of tolls for our coastwise shipping through the Panama Canal, and his peace-at-any-price policy in Mexico, are condemned in every section which I have visited." "There is no section in the United States which depends more upon the Republican policy of protection than Southern California. Your oranges, lemons, sugar beet, walnut and other industries owe their very existence to a protective tariff and when the Democratic policy of free trade, opening up this rich American market to the foreign producers and receiving in return no reciprocal agreements, is maintained, it means the annihilation of Needham was visibly affected at this genuine testimonial of esteem.

The latter's address was confined to a discussion of the tariff, and he received genuine applause from the large crowd present.

I remember my first speech in my campaign for congressman in 1898 in Anaheim. I remember the incident of the Spanish flag, and I shall never forget that meeting." Needham asked concerning many old-time residents of this city, and said that if he decided to become a candidate for Congress he would be in Anaheim again during the campaign, and would be very happy to meet with them again. FIRST CARGO THROUGH DITCH Los Angeles may have the distinction of sending the first cargo through the Panama Canal. One hundred and fifty tons of California wines and canned fruits were loaded last week upon the steamer Isthmian, sailing from San Pedro for Balboa, the Pacific entrance of the canal. Information received here stated that this steamer would probably be the first permitted to pass through the big ditch. Since the closing of the Tehuantepec railroad all ships of the American-Hawaiian line fleet have been touching Balboa. The prospects for an early passage of the Isthmian through the canal are said to be bright. Officers of the company in New York are awaiting definite news from Colonel Goethals, who is reported to have said that the canal would be ready for vessels of 35-foot draft by May 15. The draft of the Isthmian is 22 feet. The announcement of the nearness of the opening of the canal is hailed as of the utmost importance to California shippers. Many lines are now planning to open new avenues of commerce. Only $5,000 worth practically wholly taken on this small capital size, handled a larger also canned a number of products. The company been hampered by its carry stock and to be as economically as possible. This is on the hood edied by eastern and ties, attracted by ties of the secret manager, J. L. Stevens giving a superior pay other fruits and vegetables for the canning of oranges. By this process lemons hitherto produced in the citrus profitably utilized.

ANAHEIM GAZETTE GARDEN RAKE PROVES EFFECTIVE WEAPON Real Estate Man Injured at Garden Grove by a Neighbor I. O. Wilson, one of the best-known real estate agents of the county, had several ribbons of skin ripped off of his face Thursday in an encounter with Frank C. Kent, who used a garden rake, the prongs of which did effective work. Kent lives in Garden Grove and Wilson owns an adjoining ranch. The two men had a difference over water and a pumping plant. They met at their line. The stories of what occurred differ, but all agree that Mrs. Kent joined in the fracas effectively. Wilson says that Kent started the row by striking him with the rake. The rake broke, and Kent used the handle as a club. Mrs. Kent rushed up and hit Wilson with ner fists. Roy Wilson, son of I. O., tried to separate the combatants and Kent knocked him down with the rake handle, and immediately Mrs. Kent pounced upon him and kept him busy fighting to get up. Wilson threw Kent and punched his face with his fist. Then came outsiders and the fight ended. Kent says Wilson started the thing by using his fist on his face. He says Wilson and Ray both attacked him, and Mrs. Kent joined in to keep Ray busy so that Kent could hold his own against Wilson. Kent says he used the rake in self-defense. He was arrested on a charge of using a deadly weapon with intent to commit murder and is out on $500 bail. PACIFIC COAST SALMON In the old days conservation of natural products was an unknown thing among mankind. The result was that among other things salmon, once as plentiful as herring in the seas around western Europe, or as codfish on the coast of Iceland, have almost disappeared from those seas, and the world is now depending upon the Pacific RANCHERS WILL BUILD A $200,000 DAM Immense Reservoir to Be Constructed in Santiago Canyon Ranchers of Villa Park and El Medina through their water companies, the Serrano Water Company and the John T. Carpenter Water Company, have launched a project for building a $200,000 dam across the bottom of the Santiago Canyon for the purpose of impounding irrigation water. The matter is to be taken up with James Irvine of the Irvine company, on whose land the dam, if built, will be constructed. Irvine is expected here from San Francisco in about two weeks. Quietly the ranchers have had engineers make careful examinations of the canyon, and their reports favor the construction of a concrete dam at what is known as Fourth Crossing, one end of the dam to rest upon a landmark called Man-Cow rock, the other end to reach bedrock in a jutting bill on the side opposite. Bedrock will be reached clear across the canyon with but little excavation. The dam as proposed by the engineers will be 700 feet across the top and 87 feet high at the center. A lake between a mile and a mile and a half long will be formed, and, making all due allowances for evaporation, the engineers state that in a year of usual rainfall enough water will be impounded to provide the irrigators with a continuous flow of 1,500 inches during 200 days. At present the ranchers save some of the winter's storm waters by spreading them upon waste places, but a large portion of the floods goes to the sea, not only useless waste but a menace as flood. On the Irvine Company property a mile west of Delhi a magnificent well has been brought in. The well at 1,340 feet struck a flow of 175 inches of warm water, slightly tinged with sulphur. The temperature of the water 103 degrees. It will be used for irrigation in the sugar-beet fields. This is the deepest well in the section, the Irinve Company having one other well 1,238 feet deep.

PACIFIC COAST SALMON In the old days conservation of natural products was an unknown thing among mankind. The result was that among other things salmon, once plentiful as herring in the seas around western Europe, or as codfish on the coast of Iceland, have almost disappeared from those seas, and the world is now depending upon the Pacific Coast of North America for its supply of this king of all food fishes. It is said that 25 cents' worth of canned salmon contains as much nutriment as 72 cents' worth of eggs, 66 cents' worth of steak, 64 cents' worth of mutton, 43 cents' worth of chicken, 26½ cents' worth of ham, taking average prices for all these kinds of food. The pack of salmon on the Pacific Coast last year was 387,045,456 pounds, and the value was $38,563,891. Let us not follow the unwisdom of our forefathers and permit this fish to become exterminated, as it surely will if laws are not made properly and enforced vigorously. The trouble is the salmon streams sometimes run between two states, and sometimes the shore line covers two nationalities. One state may protect the fish while another refuses to do so, and so with the several nations. It would be a shame if the fish should become exterminated, for the world at large would lose an important and delicious food supply, and also because the remedy is so simple. All there is need for is to establish hatcheries at the headwaters of the great streams which the fish seek in the spring time of the year when they come in from the sea to spawn. The United States government is doing good work in this respect, and the hands of the government should be sustained by all who have future generations in mind. PLAGENTIA CANNERY IS PROSPERING Handicapped by Lack of Capital But Soon to Be Relieved by Outsiders Stockholders in the Placentia Canning Company are beginning to realize that while making their investment largely in order to establish a home industry, they have also made an investment that will not only realize them most prolific returns, but will also help to build up in Placentia an industry of large importance. Only $5,000 worth of stock was sold, practically wholly to home people, but on this small capital the company erected two buildings of considerable size, handled a large tomato pack and also canned a number of other products. The company has necessarily been hampered by lack of capital to carry stock and to handle the business as economically as is possible. This is on the highway to be remedied by eastern and Los Angeles par. At present the ranchers save some of the winter's storm waters by spreading them upon waste places, but a large portion of the floods goes to the sea, not only useless waste but a menace as flood. On the Irvine Company property a mile west of Delhi a magnificent well has been brought in. The well at 1,340 feet struck a flow of 175 inches of warm water, slightly tinged with sulphur. The temperature of the water 103 degrees. It will be used for irrigation in the sugar-beet fields. This is the deepest well in the section, the Irvine Company having one other well 1,238 feet deep. WAR MEANS PROSPERITY "War between Mexico and United States would result in prosperity for the latter country," sai dan Englishman who has seen service in several wars in various countries. "This country could supply all its needs for both arms of the service in the field and on the water. Men, money, grain, meats, arms, ammunition and the thousand and one necessaries to conduct a successful campaign can be supplied by the people of the United States and its corporations. In the event of a long campaign, I should expect to see great industrial activity throughout the United States and all the unemployed should have plenty of work. "European countries have to rely on one another for supplies, and much of their needs are supplied from the Americas, so that their wars often enrich other peoples while it impoverishes them." Furthermore, when the war was over, the United States would have opened to their young men a great field of industrial endeavor, and in the end would mean that the United States would be foremost in the trade with South American countries which hitherto has not been the case. There is nothing like a successful war to win respect and open avenues for trade." JUST DECISION That was certainly a proper decision rendered the other day in Washington by the Interstate Commerce Commission by which shippers of dried fruit from California were secured the right to ship in fiber-board boxes and similar packages. It is not necessary to go into any abstruse logical reasoning to establish the correctness of the judgment. One fact suffices. Similar goods shipped from the East to California were permitted to come at the same freight rates as those put up in more substantial packages. There was no reason in the world why goods bound eastward should be charged a higher freight rate than those charged westward. This decision of the commission will save the California shippers of dried fruit a great deal of money, and that is not only advantage to this state in the decision. It should result in the building up of a really important industry in the manufacture of the material out of which these packages are made and make a market in California for a great deal of straw and similar.

THE CITRUS MARKET "Orange growers and shippers are pleased over the satisfactory prices that are now being received for all varieties of oranges," says the Fruit World, "and the wise ones that predicted good prices on late fruit are saying: 'I told you so.' Navels, St. Michaels, seedling, sweets and bloods are all meeting with a good demand at good prices and the Eastern trade reports a good movement of fruit out of store. The push-cart operator and the house-to-house peddler are getting in their work and the general report from all sources is that the fruit is moving in good shape. Most packing-houses are cleaned up on the navel crop for this year and the few districts that are still shipping are rapidly cleaning up their remaining fruit. St. Michaels, sweets, seedling and bloods will also soon be out of the way, leaving a clear field for the splendid crop of Valencias, some of which are now beginning to go forward. Many of the packing-houses report that they will not begin on Valencias until the first of June and with about 11,000 carloads." industry, they have also made an investment that will not only realize them most prolific returns, but will also help to build up in Placentia an industry of large importance. Only $5,000 worth of stock was sold, practically wholly to home people, but on this small capital the company erected two buildings of considerable size, handled a large tomato pack and also canned a number of other products. The company has necessarily been hampered by lack of capital to carry stock and to handle the business as economically as is possible. This is on the highway to be remedied by eastern and Los Angeles parties, attracted by the great possibilities of the secret processes of the manager, J. L. Stevenson, for not only giving a superior pack of tomatoes and other fruits and vegetables, but also for the canning of citrus fruits. By this process cull oranges and lemons hitherto practically a waste product in the citrus industry will be profitably utilized. Mr. Stevenson has completed his experiments and is now ready to can oranges in commercial quantities. Samples of the oranges packed by his process have been examined by experts in various places and pronounced equal to canned fruit of any kind. The cannery will soon be enlarged and the canning of oranges begun on a commercial scale. Mechanics' Leins Against Hospital Mechanics' leins have been drifting into the recorder's office for a week against the Fullerton hospital, but the avalanche came on Friday when eight of them were put in for safety's sake. The leins are against the association's property, lots 27 to 30, block 15, Fullerton. The claimants and the amount of the eight claims recorded follow: Parmelle-Dohrmann Co., for $495.31; G. S. Kling and others, $10,730.26; Central Electric Co., $633; Johnson Service Co., $300; C. E. Shattuck, $540; Pacific Concrete Co., $1,700; Arthur C. Hess, $3,125.52; Cass-Smurr-Damerel Co., $580.54. And these are not the Fullerton Hospital Association's only troubles, a foreclosure of mortgage suit or two having recently been started against the company. This decision of the commission will save the California shippers of dried fruit a great deal of money, and that is not the only advantage to this state in the decision. It should result in the building up of a really important industry in the manufacture of the material out of which these packages are made and make a market in California for a great deal of straw and similar material now going to waste. No crop in Orange county has been more greatly benefited by late rains than that of sugar beets, and a large acreage will reach maturity without irrigation, thereby reducing the cost of production. Not only will the cost of producing beets be lowered, but also owing to the rains, the beets will develop a much larger percentage of sugar. This season is what the growers call a normal one, no irrigation being needed to develop the beets. The Garden Grove Improvement Association has elected new officers as follows: President, H. A. Lake; vice-president, J. A. Knapp; secretary, W. E. Perry; treasurer, F. H. Cloyse. This increase in the imports of finished manufactures has been progressive. The closing month of the period showed also larger total imports than any other, $183,000,000, against $133,-000,000 in its first month. On the other hand the exports of domestic products have steadily fallen, the figures for October, 1913, having been $269,-000,000 and in March, 1914, only $184,-000,000. This seems to illustrate the fallacy of the Democratic theory that "if you don't buy you can't sell." The imports in the six months increased more than 37 per cent, while the exports decreased more than 31 per cent in the same period. We repeat that in all of this bad showing of six months of the Wilson tariff our factories and our wage-earners are the chief sufferers. The push-cart operator and the house-to-house peddler are getting in their work and the general report from all sources is that the fruit is moving in good shape. Most packing-houses are cleaned up on the navel crop for this year and the few districts that are still shipping are rapidly cleaning up their remaining fruit. St. Michaels, sweets, seedling and bloods will also soon be out of the way, leaving a clear field for the splendid crop of Valencias, some of which are now beginning to go forward. Many of the packing-houses report that they will not begin on Valencias until the first of June and with about 11,000 carloads to market it is expected that the Valencia season will continue well into the month of September or October. "Although single car shipments of Valencias left Tulare county districts during last week, the first straight trainload of Valencias left on Tuesday morning of this week on fast freight schedule for the East. During the Valencia season practically all the shipments will be made via Sacramento and the mountain route. The fast schedule now maintained makes it possible to send fruit through to the middle western markets in five days, with corresponding quick time to the far eastern points. "The Tulare county crop of Valencias promises to yield upward of 900 carloads and the fruit is said to be exceptionally fine quality and flavor. Splendid prices are looked for. "The movement of Florida citrus fruit continues quite heavy and is exceeding the expectations of those who believed the season would be wound up long before this. The movement of citrus fruit out of Florida for the week ending May 8 amounted to 306 carloads, as against 339 cars the week before. The total shipments amount to 19,777 carloads. It is now believed that at least 500,000 boxes more than first estimates will be shipped. The late Valencias and Tardiffs are now moving freely and are bringing very satisfactory prices. The fruit must be taken from the trees during this month, otherwise it interferes with the new crop. The prospects for the 1914-1915 crop are for the biggest crop ever.

With the advent of warmer weather in the eastern and middle western markets, a decided advance in lemon prices is looked for. "Considerable complaint is being made to the New York Fruit Exchange by out of town buyers who have been swindled by foreign lemon importers and the New York Fruit Exchange is endeavoring to find some means of putting a stop to the bogus sales of roeign lemons that are slowly but surely driving the trade all over the country to fill their wants with California lemons. The practice of snide packing, rebates, bogus sales and the like that some of the foreign lemon importers have resorted to has caused the trade to rise up in arms against the foreign lemon and has paved the way for the exclusive handling of the California lemon with which to fill their orders." BUMPER CROPS BUMPER CROPS "I have never seen crop conditions as good in the western and southern states as they are today. The enormous winter wheat crop is practically assured now. These wonderful crops will not only be of vast benefit to California and the entire west and south, but I am convinced they will do much toward establishing general business activity throughout the United States." This was the deliberate statement of Edward Chambers of Chicago, vice president of the Santa Fe system, in charge of traffic, who arrived in Los Angeles in his private car, one day last week, accompanied by W. G. Barnwell of San Francisco, assistant freight traffic manager, and H. P. Anewalt, Los Angeles, general freight agent. Mr. Chambers has just completed a leisurely trip over the entire 11,000 miles of the Santa Fe system, visiting 12 states. "I have been over the entire system, talked with the local agents and business men in every large town and city on the various lines, noted conditions personally as far as possible, and I find the crops of the entire territory in a condition of unparalleled excellence," continued Mr. Chambers. "This is most encouraging. Indeed, I can think of nothing which is more assuring as regards the future outlook for business in the west and south. I am told that other states, too, are rejoicing in good crops, but I do know that this great belt of states is in magnificent shape today, and it is toward these states that the nation always looks for crop reports in making its financial predictions."
