ANAHEIM ORANGES AGAIN TOP-NOTCHERS Car of Valencias Brings Highest Price on Market Friday Once more Anaheim oranges topped the market in the eastern marts. Last Friday a carload of Mother Colony Valencias shipped by the Anaheim Citrus Fruit Association sold in New York for $3.60 per box, being the highest price paid for any oranges in any market that day. On May 18 a mixed car of Mother Colony St. Michaels and Carnivals sold at Philadelphia at $4 and $3.90, respectively. This was the highest price on any market that day. Anaheim oranges have long held a high place in the estimation of buyers, but this year's crop is establishing a reputation that will place our fruit at the top. FIRE GUARD IN MOUNTAIN RANGE Forest Service Doing Good Work Along Santa Ana Ridge A fire guard ten feet wide is to be cleared off from the Santa Ana Canyon at Fallbrook along the top of the Santa Ana Mountains, a distance of forty miles. Numerous trails are to be built by the forest service to better the fire protection facilities in the mountain range, the crest of which is the eastern boundary of this county. Forest Ranger J. B. Stephenson of El Toro has been put in charge of the work by Forest Supervisor Wynne of San Diego. Stephenson has completed two of the trails mapped out by him for improvement. One of these is a new trail to the top of Santiago Peak, where the government has its lookout chair by the democrats Madison and Monroe it was from 3 to 12 cents. When Andrew Jackson and Martin Van Buren were presidents it was 2½ to 12 cents. Under Polk it was 30 per cent ad valorem, and under Buchanan it was 24 per cent, and finally under the Wilson tariff when Cleveland was president it was 40 per cent. Duties on sugar were not increased under republican rule, and not decreased except for a brief period under McKinley, when reduction of duty was accompanied by a bounty of 2 cents per pound to sugar growers. The sugar duty was the fairest tax ever levied. The Americans are, next to the Britons, the greatest sugar eaters in the world, and they eat it from the cradle to old age. Nor did the sugar tariff ever oppress the people. In 1911 sugar retailed in Great Britain 5.5 to 6.3 cents; Germany, 6.5 to 7.8; France, 7.4 to 8.9; Italy, 12.7 to 14.9; Austria, 8.3 to 9.1; Russia, 7.2 to 8.7; the Netherlands, 10.9, and Canada 6.5 to 7.5 cents per pound. In 1911 we consumed 3,351,391 tons of sugar, of which 1,769,515 tons were produced on our mainland and in Hawaii, the Philippines and Porto Rico, and 1,581,876 tons were imported. The duty on the imported sugar yielded a revenue of about $52,000,000, or about 58 cents per annum per capita for our mainland inhabitants. This frightful addition of 58 cents per year per capita to the cost of living did not really drive anybody to beggary, but it has made a deficiency in the revenue that, combined with decreased revenues from wool, lumber and manufactures of iron, leather and textile fabrics, the odious income tax will not begin to supply, and it is not improbable that before the end of the next fiscal year the administration will be compelled to issue bonds to defray the necessary expenses of government and pay the in- Santa Ana Mountains, a distance of forty miles. Numerous trails are to be built by the forest service to better the fire protection facilities in the mountain range, the crest of which is the eastern boundary of this county. Forest Ranger J. B. Stephenson of El Toro has been put in charge of the work by Forest Supervisor Wynne of San Diego. Stephenson has completed two of the trails mapped out by him for improvement. One of these is a new trail to the top of Santiago Peak, where the government has its lookout station, and the other is making over an old trail that runs from Silverado Canyon to the crest of the range and over into Cold Water Canyon. Tradition has it that this trail was originally built under orders from General Fremont in order to reach the rendezvous of horsethieves, who drove their stolen stock through Cold Water Canyon. This trail was known to the old-timers, but it has had little use for a good many years. The old trail was brushed out under Stephenson's direction, and repaired so that it is now easily passable. The work of building the fire guard is now under way. The ranger has five men clearing away all brush along a strip that is nowhere less than ten feet in width. The work was begun at Santiago Peak and the men are now on the top of the ridge between Temescal and the Santiago watershed, on the line between Orange and Riverside counties. The guard will be continued northward to the Santa Ana River. Eventually the guard will be built from the Santiago Peak south to Fallbrook in San Diego county. After the fire guard along the range is completed, other guards will be built along the ridges between canyons on this side of the range. These fire guards are to be used in case fire breaks out. They not only will serve to stop the progress of the fire because of the fact that there is a space in which there is no growth, but from them fire-fighters can safely start back-fires to meet an on-coming blaze. The importance of fire protection in the Santiago watershed is not to be under-estimated. Water users of the Santiago Creek recognize the value of maintaining the growth upon the Santa Ana Mountains, and are co-operating with the forest service in the fire protection work. INJURED BY AUTO Mrs. Alvin Ford, of Fullerton, is confined to her bed at home as the result of an accident which occurred Sunday evening. Mr. and Mrs. Ford were driving home from Anaheim, and when inhabitants. This frightful addition of 58 cents per year per capita to the cost of living did not really drive anybody to beggary, but it has made a deficiency in the revenue that, combined with decreased revenues from wool, lumber and manufactures of iron, leather and textile fabrics, the odious income tax will not begin to supply, and it is not improbable that before the end of the next fiscal year the administration will be compelled to issue bonds to defray the necessary expenses of government and pay the interest on the public debt. There is but one way out of it, and that is to back out. When the traveler finds that he has taken the wrong road and every step plunges him deeper into a morass he retraces his steps and resumes the right road. That is what the American people will do; restore the republican party to power and the republican party will restore the protective tariff which democracy repealed. IN MODJESKA'S HONOR The forest glades of Arden, that once knew Madame Modjeska, the gracious and beloved woman, the Rosalind and Lady Macbeth, whom a thousand cities honored as the greatest actress in Shakespearean roles, on Saturday last were the stage for a presentation of Modjeska's favorite play, "As You Like It." The actors were members of the Sunset Club of Los Angeles, who, on Memorial day, held a "jinks" at the Modjeska home and gave the play as part of the day's recreation. Thirty-four members, who are prominent business and professional men of Los Angeles, were present. The entertainment was arranged by the club officers. President J. O. Koepfli, Secretary Fred L. Alles and Treasurer Louis F. Vetter. The flag was for the first time displayed on Memorial day at the Modjeska ranch and there were other decorations of a patriotic character. A song service was held and speeches were made by Major H. Z. Osborne of Los Angeles and Dr. J. K. L. Jones of Orange. The play was given with the following cast: Rosalind, Sam T. Clover; Orlando, J. J. Byrne; Duke, J. M. Elliott; Touchstone, Hon. R. M. Bulla; Adam, Dr. Norman Bridges; Celia, Homer Earl; Audrey, J. Francisco Bond; Amiens, R. W. Burnham; Jacques, C. C.

Mr. and Mrs. Ford were driving home from Anaheim, and when they reached the paving at the south city limits of Fullerton they were met by a machine going in the other direction, whose driver seemed to prefer their side of the road. Mr. Ford says that he turned out as far as possible to avoid the machine, which was coming toward him. Instead of passing to the right of his buggy, the auto kept the middle of the road and took off a front wheel from the Ford rig. Mrs. Ford was thrown out, but sustained only slight injuries except the nervous shock, from the effect of which she has not yet recovered. Confessing that he was to blame, the auto driver stopped and agreed to pay for repairs to the rig. His name could not be learned, but the name and number of his machine were taken and comparison with the records indicates that he auto belongs in Whittier. RETRACING OUR FOOTSTEPS In insisting upon free sugar, President Wilson violated all the traditions and all the practices of the democratic party. In 1790 the duty on sugar was fixed at 1½ to 5 cents per pound. During the eight years that Thomas Jefferson, the founder of the democratic party, was in power the duty on sugar was 1½ to 3 cents per pound. In the 16 years' occupancy of the presidential L.

Dr. Jones is cast in one of the parts. FIRE AT TUSTIN Saturday afternoon at 3:30 o'clock a fire destroyed the home of Frank Palmer at Tustin. The fire started on the roof above the kitchen. Mrs. Palmer had been doing some baking and ironing, and had kept up a hot fire. On the roof was a large quantity of leaves that had fallen from a near-by tree. It is thought that a spark from the chimney started the fire. The family was at home at the time the fire started and most of them were in the house. The fire had a big start over the roof before it was discovered. It was then too late to stop it, the water supply being limited. Palmer and members of the family and neighbors joined in getting the furniture out of the house, and most of it was saved. The house, a big two-story building, built over 30 years ago, was burned to the ground. The loss was probably $3,000, partially covered by insurance. Prudencio Yorba, a well known pioneer resident of Yorba, was in town this week transacting business. That the Florida been materially damaged drought is the infron Dr. C. J. K.

D. Heitsheusen was awarded a decision in the case of Cooley vs. Heitsheusen in the superior court last week. The case grew out of an automobile collision on Chapman avenue, near Orange, a year ago. Heitsheusen's car was being driven by one of his daughters, who had her sister and a couple of young lady friends with her. The auto was halted in the shade of a tree for a short time, and on backing into the road to resume the journey it was run into by the Cooley car, also driven by a young lady, which came up in the rear. Both machines were damaged, the Cooley car receiving the worst of it. The Anaheim party got back to town with their crippled machine, but Miss Ida Heitsheusen was injured by the collision and had to receive medical attention. Mr. Heitsheusen thought he had good grounds for damages against Cooley as, according to the story related by the girls, the driver of his car was wholly to blame for the accident, but Cooley thought otherwise and filed suit himself for the cost of repairs to his battered auto. The case was tried in justice court at Orange and judgment rendered in favor of the plaintiff. Mr. Heitsheusen refused to accept this decision and appealed to the superior court with the result that the ruling of the Orange justice has been reversed. FLORIDA ORANGES BADLY DAMAGED Young Fruit Is Dropping From the Trees and Crop Will Be Short That the Florida orange crop has been materially damaged by a severe drought is the information given by Dr. C. J. K. Jones, director of the Santiago Orange Growers' Association. Dr. Jones quotes from the Volusia County Record of May 23, which says: ORDINANCE TOO STRICT P. A. Stanton, president of the Seaf Beach Company, does not like the Orange county poolroom ordinance. He says so very plainly in a letter received recently by the board of supervisors. Stanton states that his company has expended a large sum of money in erecting a pavilion at Seal Beach. Among the amusement places projected is a room where bowling alleys are to be established along with a number of pool tables. On investigating the Orange county ordinance, Stanton finds that minors are prohibited from being in pool rooms. Stanton states that it is the company's intention to cater particularly to women and children, in fact, to entire families. Further he states that the provision that pool rooms must close at 11 o'clock at night, that closing before midnight will work a hardship upon the establishment. Stanton says that he realizes that conditions at Seal Beach are different from what they are in the rest of the county perhaps, and he would like to have an ordinance drafted that would meet the situation as he sees it at Seal Beach.

HURT IN COLLISION Presumably blinded by the dazzling glare of a pair of electric headlights, William Nelson of Fullerton was injured Saturday evening when his motorcycle collided with an automobile driven by D. Chaffee of Santa Ana. The smash-up took place on the West Chapman avenue boulevard near L. E. Smith's ranch. Chaffee was driving toward Orange about 11 o'clock when he met Nelson, who was making fast time. Just in front of Chaffee was another auto with electric headlights. As Nelson passed this car he veered to the wrong side of the road. It is considered as probable that the bright lights of the first machine blurred his vision momentarily, and that he could neither see Chaffee's car, just back of the other, nor find his way along the proper side of the road. At any rate, he was on the left edge of the pavement as he met Chaffee's car, which was hugging the same side. The motorcycle struck the right front wheel of the auto and tore it from place, bending the fender back over the car and twisting the axle and braces. Nelson was hurled for some distance and received serious bruises, but no broken bones. He was on his feet in an instant, and walked back to his wrecked motorcycle, where he sat down. He was unable to get up again, and was taken to his home in Fullerton. One side of his body was badly bruised, while his leg was torn by the spokes from the broken wheel, which raked him from hip to knee. One foot was black with bruises. No one in the automobile was hurt. The car had been traveling at moderate speed and kept right side up after losing the wheel. THREE-HANDED FIGHT John Warman, of Garden Grove, is to be tried in justice court at Santa Ana on June 18 for assault and battery upon the persons of L. Bressel and Mrs. Minnie Bressel. According to the story told to Officer Lacy, who swore to the complaints, Warman was employed to do some painting in the kitchen at the Bressel home. Dissatisfaction of some kind led to words, and Warman and Bressel mixed. As Lacy got the story, Mrs. Bressel attempted to pull War- Young Fruit Is Dropping From the Trees and Crop Will Be Short That the Florida orange crop has been materially damaged by a severe drought is the information given by Dr. C. J. K. Jones, director of the Santiago Orange Growers' Association. Dr. Jones quotes from the Volusia County Record of May 23, which says: "The orange belt has the bloom on the trees this spring, but the young fruit has dropped at a fearful rate and the crop, it is estimated will not be any larger than the one just marketed. An agent for a prominent New York firm states that nearly all the young fruit has dropped in the seventh tier of counties, due to a severe drought which has occurred there. The outlook for Orange county's Valencia crop this season is promising and good returns are expected, according to D. Eyman Huff, manager of the Orange County Fruit Exchange, who has just returned from a five-weeks' trip through the east. On account of the large crop of Valencias the prices will not be remarkable. The unusually close financial conditions that are general tends to affect the orange market both with respect to prices and fruit sizes. "The east wants a small size orange at a very low price," states Mr. Huff, who, however, expects that returns will be satisfactory. Orange county orchards are still profiting from the frost of last season, which damaged the crops of practically every other district in Southern California, but left this untouched. This effect is still noticeable on the neighboring lemon crops, so that Orange county lemons are taking advantage of a shortened crop and the resulting high prices." We have added to our already advertised prices a list of grain and feed. Notice prices below and see where you can duplicate.

Many people in this county were well acquainted with C. P. Deyoe of Los Angeles, who, on Saturday, shot George E. Platt in a quarrel over a real estate commission. After shooting Platt in the back Deyoe turned his weapon upon himself and committed suicide. Deyoe lived between Santa Ana and Tustin for a number of years and about 20 years ago he lived on a ranch southwest of Anaheim. He was then in a real estate and insurance business in Santa Ana. Deyoe is well known among the old-timers here, as a man of an unpleasant disposition. On watches and clocks you can save 20 per cent at Roberts' Removal Sale.

Wear Your Fez—Come and Bring Your Friends MELCHER’S CELEBRATED ORCHESTRA IS A DERELICT The old Waterman mine near Barstow, which made the fortune of the late Governor Waterman of California and in its time produced about $1,000,000 in silver, is listed at a paltry $100 in the description of the estate of Mrs. Jane G. Waterman, the petition for probate of whose estate was filed in the superior court recently. The old mine was once the most famous of the southwest. It was discovered by a man named Lee, and worked as a quicksilver proposition and abandoned. The black chunks Lee found he supposed to be lead. Waterman and his partner, Porter, discovered the property to be really a silver mine. The decrease in the price of silver sealed the doom for the old mine. There may be $1,000,000 in ore still in the property, but it is of such low grade that it cannot be mined at a profit, hence the valuation of $100. UNIQUE ATTRACTION Of course, California doesn’t intend to overlook anything that could possibly add to her attractions in 1915. California never does anything in a half-hearted way. When she decided to invite the whole world to this coast in 1915, in celebration of the opening of the Panama canal, there was planned a succession of attractions such as no exposition city has ever been able to offer. And California proposes to come through with the goods. There has long been an intimation whispered about that the exposition management had something up its sleeve in the nature of a spectacular surprise, but the exact nature of it has been a matter of speculation. The mystery is solved. Arrangements have been completed whereby Mt. Lassen, somewhere up in vicinity of the Devil’s Kitchen in the extreme northern end of the state, will, on Tuesdays and Fridays, and other days if thought best, give an imitation of a volcano in a state of eruption. Mt. Lassen hasn’t “erupted” before since 1714. It was selected because of its favorable location. In a practice game the other day Mt. Lassen tossed out boulders “as large as sacks of flour,” to a distance of 100 feet or so. Near the mountain are “three acres of hot mud holes” and other attractions not to be overlooked by a pleasure-loving people. As far as memory serves, no other exposition ever opened up the earth’s interior for the entertainment of its guests. C. E. Jackson, candidate for sheriff, came over from Santa Ana last Wednesday and spent a few hours with his friends here. 25 per cent off on Cut Glass, Hand Painted China and Silverware at Roberts’ Removal Sale.
