James C. Needham, who represented California in the house of representatives for 14 years, and who has been asked to again stand as a candidate for this office, has written republicans in this county that he has consented to permit the use of his name as a candidate at this year's election. Needham addressed a large meeting of republicans at Santa Ana a week ago Saturday at which he was unanimously endorsed for congress. Needham returned from Washington two weeks ago and after conferring with friends in all parts of the district, issued the following: "I am very grateful to all who have so kindly spoken of me as an available candidate for political favor in the coming election, and after a most careful consideration and consultation with many friends and party associates, I have concluded to submit my name as a candidate for the republican nomination for congress in this district. Recently I received the following telegram, which is in the nature of a petition, signed by one hundred leading citizens: "The undersigned citrus growers of San Diego, Orange, Riverside and San Bernardino counties, after having considered the situation very carefully, are convinced that the citrus fruit interests of the eleventh congressional district demand the services of an avowed and consistent protectionist as to their representative in congress.

Any other outcome, in view of the situation, is not to be thought of. “I shall, therefore, permit the use of my name as a congressional candidate and will seek the republican nomination and if nominated will make every honorable effort to redeem the district.” Needham addressed a meeting of 200 republicans at Santa Ana a week ago Saturday, at which he was unanimously endorsed as the republican candidate for congress in the eleventh district. He made a great speech, and was cheered to the echo by the large attendance. He said that if he were re-elected he would take his place as the sixth republican member upon the committee of ways and means. He had risen from the place of the 14th republican member of this committee to 6th place, and if re-elected would again take his place upon this important committee. He scored the Underwood majority.

By reason of your ability and experience you are better qualified to represent them than is any other available resident of the district. We therefore request that you will become a candidate for the republican congressional nomination from this district, and if you will agree to do so we pledge you our individual efforts, both in the primary and in the November campaign, and we are sufficiently familiar with the sentiment among fruit men that we are certain an overwhelming majority of them will give you hearty and enthusiastic support." The Orange county republicans who signed this telegram were C. C. Chapman, J. R. Cathcart, E. S. Richman, E. K. Benchley, Dr. W. H. Wickett, G. W. Hempbill, A. S. Bradford, Sherman Stevens, F. C. Spencer, Walter Eden, J. T. Burke, R. Y. Williams, W. D. Williams, W. L. Deermiling, Richard Melrose, J. S. Howard, C. E. Ruddock, Dr. D. W. Hasson, W. J. Wickersham, and others. "I have also received a telegram from the republican county committee of Imperial county, requesting me to become a congressional candidate, and at a recent meeting of the republican county committee of Orange county I was asked, by a unanimous and rising vote, to become a candidate. I have also many letters and many personal requests urging me to take this course. "The next house of representatives is certain to be republican by a good Saturday, at which he was unanimously endorsed as the republican candidate for congress in the eleventh district. He made a great speech, and was cheered to the echo by the large attendance. He said that if he were re-elected he would take his place as the sixth republican member upon the committee of ways and means. He had risen from the place of the 14th republican member of this committee to 6th place, and if re-elected would again take his place upon this important committee. He scored the Underwood tariff bill, and said that throughout the east there was everywhere present a deep seated inclination to elect a republican house of representatives this year. He also said there was a good chance to elect a republican senate. He denounced President Wilson's un-American attitude in his attempt to repeal free tolls for American coastwise shipping through the Panama Canal, and for his shameless abandonment of American men and women in Mexico. Needham was first elected to congress from the old seventh district in 1898. In the federal census of 1900 two new congressmen were added to California's representatives at Washington, and his county was taken out of this district. He was re-elected at each succeeding election thereafter until 1912, when a progressive gerrymander brought defeat to him after a long line of victories. Republicans of the eleventh district, who supported him in 1898 and 1900, have rallied to his support, and as he is now a resident of this district will exert their utmost efforts to send him back to his place at Washington, of which he was deprived by as shameless a gerrymander as was ever pulled off in this state. It will soon be hot enough for a straw hat. See Al Erickson."

Hanlon, county superintendent of Contra Costa county. The meeting lasted all day and was held in the auditorium of the Alhambra high school. It was called and arranged by Mark Keppel, Los Angeles county superintendent. Superintendent Keppel called Hanlon "the buster of the supply trust." Hanlon declared that supply agents throughout the state are reaping a harvest from schools, especially those in small districts, and he urged that each county establish a supply department to buy all the supplies for each school district for one year at a time. "Under the present condition," said Superintendent Hanlon, "each district buys its own supplies. It buys small quantities and pays large prices. But that is not all. The supply houses have agents who charge exorbitant prices for everything they sell. The little school districts throughout the state are robbed. "As soon as I learned of the extravagance that existed, I decided to unite all the districts in our county and establish a purchasing agency for all the schools. The agents fought furiously. They went to big San Francisco manufacturing firms and told them if they bid on our demands the small supply houses would cease to deal with them. Only one of all the large firms dared bid. Here are a few comparisons of the prices." PLACENTIA GANNERY IS AMPLY FINANCED Will Prove Profitable Institution For Our Neighboring City The financing of the Placentia Canning Company, hereafter to be known officially as the Placentia Preserving Company, has been effected, and the concern will be expanded into a large and profitable concern of great importance to the welfare and up-building of Placentia. This move will mean a large weekly payroll and employment for a host of people practically the whole year round and during the height of the tomato season two shifts of eight hours each will be worked to make the utmost advantage of the plant. The management plans to pack at least 30,000 cases of the splendid tomatoes that are making Placentia famous, and the whole pack could be sold today, if so desired, the demand for the Placentia product being very great. The securing of adequate capital for the plant will be accomplished through the Guarantee Mortgage and Bond Company of Los Angeles, which will place as much as desired up to $50,000 worth of profit sharing certificates. These are similar to bonds and the holder of same incurs no liability of any kind and if they so desire, may exchange their certificates for stock in the company. The certificates are 8 per cent cumulative and also share in the profits of the concern as well. They are issued in sums of $100 and $250. Local people may purchase if desired, but the Guarantee Mortgage and Bond Company expects to dispose of these certificates through their usual channels. The management plans to erect another building as large as the present structure in time for the tomato season. Orders are already in for new machinery and equipment that will make this plant equal of any in the state and practically all the equipment may be used for either tomatoes or oranges, which latter will constitute a large portion of the future product. The new equipment will permit of a continuous progression from the field to the warehouse. With the exception of the peelers and packers the product will not touch human hands from the rancher's wagon to the warehouse. Several innovations will result in the handling of the product. The tomatoes will be dumped direct from the rancher's wagon into a large tank of cold water from which it is picked up by an elevator and taken to the scaler, and then to the peelers and packers, whence machinery completes the remaining processes and lands the completed products in the warehouse. SUGAR FACTORY BE-GINS WORK JULY 25 (Continued from page 1) campaign this year without a heavy loss. In every state in the Union where beets grow and sugar plants exist, numerous shut-downs are reported. In Michigan, which has hitherto been one of the sugar producing states, but one factory will run this year, and that will make the campaign merely as an experiment. The elections this fall will undoubtedly send to Washington a house of representatives favoring protection to American industries. While the one body could render no relief the route of that overwhelming democratic majority would prove that the trend of sentiment in the United States is toward protection, and it would have an influential bearing on the sugar plants and cause many to continue under the present adverse conditions until the verdict of the people is again registered in 1916. Another fact that will stimulate many boards of directors to continue operations even at an annual loss provided better conditions can be expected with confidence in the future is that it requires two years to start a plant after it has closed for a season. First, the acreage must be secured and it would be a difficult job inducing growers to sign up after they had been summarily turned down, then the crop of beets must be raised. Furthermore the costly machinery would rust and deteriorate from non-use and would have to be in part, if not in whole, replaced. These as well as other reasons will cause many plants to continue through a couple of disastrous seasons if light can be seen ahead. All conditions are favorable for a prosperous season for the Anaheim plant with the exception of the market price of its product. It is paying 75 cents less for its raw material, is handling the best beets ever grown, and is running the campaign with 20 men eliminated from the payroll. Also the bill for repairs, improvements and extensions this year is insignificant whereas during the past three years more than $300,000 has been expended on those items. A BAD MEXICAN school districts throughout the state are robbed. "As soon as I learned of the extravagance that existed, I decided to unite all the districts in our county and establish a purchasing agency for all the schools. The agents fought furiously.

Here are a few comparisons of the prices: Agent's Whole Charge County Foolscap paper $2.40 $.95 Gross pens 1.25 .35 A little bell 3.70 .70 World Globe 12.00 2.25 "I estimated conservatively that between $250,000 and $300,000 could be saved throughout the state by having the counties purchase the articles necessary, or $500,000 if the state purchases all the articles necessary. "These agents have a list of all the school superintendents and have them marked 'easy' or 'hard.' Where they are marked 'easy' they raise prices enormously. You do not suffer so much from this system in the south as we do in the north. "Under the present system the use of supplies in many communities is lax and there is no check on them. Our county now checks up, much to the objection of the agents. The trustees of all districts elect a committee from their number to handle the supply question and work in co-operation with the county superintendent." George Gobar, son of Dr. and Mrs. Gobar of Fullerton, won a $200 scholarship prize in the law department of the State University. Gobar is a student in the school. The new equipment will permit of a continuous progression from the field to the warehouse.

The tomatoes will be dumped direct from the rancher's wagon into a large tank of cold water from which it is picked up by an elevator and taken to the scaler, and then to the peelers and packers, whence machinery completes the remaining processes and lands the completed product in the warehouse. The tomato never stops moving from the field to the warehouse. Y. M. C. A. OFFICERS At the annual meeting of the county Y. M. C. A. at Orange the following officers for the year were elected: P. M. German, Garden Grove, chairman; H. M. Gray, El Modena, vice-chairman; W. B. Tedford, Santa Ana, treasurer; Fredk. H. Eley, Santa Ana, secretary. The members of the committee elected by the convention were P. M. German, Garden Grove; L. T. Thurston, Villa Park; E. W. Dean, Wm. Starbuck, C. C. Chapman, Fullerton; A. E. Bennett and H. W. Lewis, Tustin; W. B. Tedford, Fredk. Eley and W. A. Zimmerman, Santa Ana; Geo. B. Key and O. W. Lillie, Placentia; Chas. Eygabroad and Dr. H. A. Johnston, Anaheim; Eugene Criset, Old Newport; F. D.

Ross et ux to Mrs. M. Franz, lot 1, block 2 of Rothaermal's addition to Anaheim; 10. Guerimo Moreno, a half-demented Santa Ana Mexican, endeavored to kill his wife late Saturday night, and the fact that he broke the blade of the butcher knife he was using short off in the woman's right arm, was the only thing which kept him from accomplishing his purpose. After the knife broke he had to rely on a pair of shears, but they did not seem to be large enough to inflict a deadly wound. When the neighbors of the couple, hearing the sounds of the struggle, telephoned to the city hall for the officers, Ryan, Murray and Vestal answered the call, at about 1:30. They found the shack in which the Mexicans lived a perfect shamble, caused by the wounds of the woman. She was lying on the floor, slowly bleeding to death, with her three little children near her. On the bed lay the man, suffering from his self-inflicted wounds. The woman was hurried to the hospital and the man to jail. The woman's wounds are in her arm and face, the latter parts being slashed with the scissors. The man's wounds are merely superficial. It was said by physicians in attendance that the hurts of the woman would not prove fatal. ...

THAT CANYON ROAD There seems to have been something of a misunderstanding of the Orange county highway situation at the recent meeting of the Tri-Counties reforestation conference at Huntington Beach, where the highway work of three counties was discussed. The commissioners of Riverside and San Bernardino counties went home with the impression that the Orange county highway commission intended paving the Santa Ana Canyon road the entire distance to the Riverside line. Since that time members of the Orange county commission have indicated that the commission's intention has been to pave only to Peralta and have a graded road the rest of the distance. How the visiting commissioners got their wrong impression is unimportant; but the fact is important that the people of both neighboring counties, as well as the newspapers, recognize the Santa Ana Canyon road as an important outlet to the coast and urge that it be paved in Orange county to meet the Riverside paved road. FINE REASONING Ontario confectioners and high school students are up in arms over the order issued by Merton E. Hill, principal of Chaffey high, to the effect that no more soda-pop is to be sold on the high school campus. The reason for the order is said to be fear that the practice may lead to the boys forming habits of drinking from bottles. In commenting on the order of Principal Hill, one local confectioner suggests that along the same line a law should be passed prohibiting the use of bottles for infants. ROBBERY AT FULLERTON The house of Chas. Nanson, at Fullerton, was entered about 8 o'clock Saturday, and a quantity of jewelry, valued at $800, was stolen. There were two suspicious men hanging around all the afternoon, so report says, and these men are thought to have committed the crime. One is described as being of more than average height, while the other was a rather short man. This is all the description the officers have to work on. Several of the pieces of jewelry were in the nature of heirlooms, and of considerable value to the owners than the intrinsic value represented by the articles as mere bullion. MASHER PINCHED Charles Ortez, described as a dude, is in the county jail on a charge of disturbing the peace of a demure Spanish girl named Ruby Gonzales of Santa Ana. Ortez denies that he is a masher, or that he insulted the girl. The girl, however, declares that she has all of the enforced attentions from Ortez that she wants. Sunday evening she called to a blacksmith who lives near her home, and told him that Ortez had insulted her. The blacksmith struck out after Ortez, and took him to jail. Yesterday the girl swore to a complaint. Ortez pleaded not guilty, and his trial was set for May 28. He was unable to raise $200. ADVERTISED LETTERS Miss Edna Betts, R. H. Deakin, J. J.

He has one of the finest orchards in that section, and sees a great future for that famed locality. The orange crop now being harvested never was better and it is bringing very good prices. In his opinion the slump in the market a few months ago was in part due to the fact that too many oranges were rushed to the market at once, thereby upsetting prices. The association now has a good system for marketing and routing the fruit, but still there are improvements to be made in that line, and doubtless will be put into operation as soon as possible. Of course, some fruit ripens rapidly and must be moved, but where the fruit can be held, too much must not be rushed out in a limited space of time. The orange grower has a big future before him, and when he raises good fruit, he will never fail to sell it at good prices.
