CULLS MUST GO, CITRUS MEN DECIDE MEETING OF PACKERS CALLED TO FORMULATE PLANS FOR UTILIZING REFUSE J. L. STEVENSON TELLS ASSEMBLED SHIPPERS AND GROWERS OF A PROFITABLE METHOD For the purpose of launching a movement toward eliminating cull oranges from the markets in the citrus region and devising some means of turning them into a source of profit, if such be possible, a number of Orange county packers and growers assembled at the packing house of the Anaheim Fruit Association Saturday in response to an invitation recently extended by Manager Sandilands. For many years growers and packers have realized that culls were a source of heavy loss to both classes, and several reasons were advanced why speedy action should be taken toward protection against them. One reason is that they now flood the home markets and supply a demand that should be filled only on the plant for the culls. "With the plant at Placentia," said Mr. Stevenson, "and another one at Anaheim, there need be no further discussion on the subject of culls. The problem will be solved. There can be no question of a good market for all the stuff that can be produced." Short speeches were made by L. P. Drake, A. T. Pendleton, Thos. Strain, P. H. Kirck, G. F. Mills and others, all tending practically in the same direction. Mr. Pendleton said that 500 cars of culls were now sold annually and this amount would undoubtedly increase. The supreme question was should the fruit men declare that no more culls should find their way into the market, the disposition of them being secondary importance. He recommended that a resolution be passed calling for the organization of an association which should include all the persons engaged in the citrus industry in the state. Mr. Strain said that Covena had already taken steps toward elimination of culls and all sections of the belt realized the importance of the step. He thought some definite action should be taken at once and the inferior fruit removed from the market before the opening of the world's fair. L. P. Drake thought if no better solution of the problem offered the rejected fruit should all be destroyed provided the law would permit. A poll revealed that representatives from seven packing houses were present. As this meeting was only a preliminary step toward something more... county packers and growers assembled at the packing house of the Anaheim Fruit Association Saturday in response to an invitation recently extended by Manager Sandilands. For many years growers and packers have realized that culls were a source of heavy loss to both classes, and several reasons were advanced why speedy action should be taken toward protection against them. One reason is that they now flood the home markets and supply a demand that should be filled only by first-class fruit. The growers and packing house men, therefore, lose money on what should be their most profitable market. Another reason is that the thousands of tourists from every section of the United States are fed on this inferior and cast-off fruit here in the heart of the industry where they are supposed to be offered the best, and return home with the belief that California's reputation for orange growing is overdrawn and that it cannot compare with Florida. Another object of the meeting was to discuss ways and means of utilizing the cast-off oranges and turning them into a source of profit if such a means could be devised, but this was considered of secondary importance, the primary object, being to get them off the market, so that nothing but the best could be offered for sale here. Some of the speakers advocated using them as a fertilizer if it could be done without running a foul of the law which forbids wanton destruction of anything that could be passed as an article of food. The meeting was called to order by G. W. Sandilands who made a brief talk explaining the reason of the call and the necessity for doing something for protection against the annual loss occasioned by culls. There are 400 or 500 carloads of culls marketed in the citrus section each year, he said, and some means must be determined upon to keep them out of the channels of trade. Charles Eygabroad was elected chairman of the meeting and Mr. Sandilands was chosen secretary: The chair first called upon J. L. Stevenson, manager of the Placentia Preserving Company, to explain his method of utilizing culls, and the possible future extent of the industry. Mr. Stevenson has experimented and studied the subject for a number of years with the result that he is now putting on the market a product that is meeting with favor wherever introduced. He was armed with a sample of his canned culls A poll revealed that representatives from seven packing houses were present. As this meeting was only a preliminary step toward something more definite, Mills of Fullerton, moved that a committee of seven, one from each of the houses represented, should be appointed to meet after adjournment, draft a resolution asking every packing house in the state to appoint three delegates to attend a meeting for the purpose of formulating a plan and entering into an agreement for the disposition of the culls. This motion was amended, Orange county being substituted for the state, and carried. Chairman Eygabroad appointed C. E. Holcomb and P. H. Krick of Anaheim, W. S. Cullen and Thomas Strain, of Placelia, S. C. Miles of Fullerton, W. H. Smart of Santa Ana, and J. D. Spenetta of Orange on the committee. Among the packers present were L. P. Drake, Thos. Strain, A. T. Pendleton and C. E. Fuller of Placelia, Dr. Jones, J. D. Spenetta and D. F. Campbell of Orange, W. M. Smart of Santa Ana, besides representatives of each of our local houses. One of the difficult problems to be solved by the convention is the Italian fruit merchant who buys the bulk of the culls. Their supply can be easily cut off at the packing houses but they frequently purchase an entire orchard where scale abounds and the fruit has been rejected by the shippers, or the price cut below what the huckster will offer for it. This is a stumbling block in the way that the convention will have to find some means of removing. MAYOR COOK'S HORSES HAUL STREET SWEEPER Glives City Free Use of Team, When Street Sweeper Jumps His Job Mayor John Cook has given the city use of a span of horses for the city's sweeping department, and these are now in service.

L. Stevenson, manager of the Placentia Preserving Company, to explain his method of utilizing culls, and the possible future extent of the industry. Mr. Stevenson has experimented and studied the subject for a number of years with the result that he is now putting on the market a product that is meeting with favor wherever introduced. He was armed with a sample of his canned culls which was passed around and won the approbation of all who tasted. Mr. Stevenson said his plant started only a year ago on a modest scale having a capital of only $12,000, but its product had made such a hit wherever introduced that it would require $25,000 additional money this year to turn out the goods already sold. Wherever goods had been shipped, he said, orders had come in for more. A consignment had been sent to London and an order for more was received as it had proven immediately popular. He read a letter from a Chicago wholesaler stating that that firm could handle his entire output as the goods sold readily in the states supplied by Chicago. He manufactures marmalade and orangeade besides canning he fruit, and ships the peel to New York where it is candled and sold at 15 cents per pound. The preserved oranges sell at 25 cents per quart can and the juice at 40 cents per gallon. As instance of its growing popularity Mr. Stevenson mentioned that a little stall on Spring street, Los Angeles, which was supplied with the orangeade now disposed of 40 gallons per day. The company has been granted a concession at the San Diego exposition and hundreds of barrels of the juice will be dispensed there which it is expected will give it a reputation among people who will spread it to all sections of the country; The company pays from $5 to $10 per Mayor John Cook has given the city use of a span of horses for the city's sweeping department, and these are now in service. When Street Sweeper Peckstein jumped his job two weeks ago, taking his team of horses with him, Street Superintendent Sackett pressed into service his thoroughbred pacer, which was on the job before daylight the following morning. Mayor Cook announced that he would have a team of his own horses for the street sweeper the following day. He went to his ranch on the San Joaquin and brought in two of his best horses, which have been at work continuously with the street sweeper. The city has several excellent teams, but these are engaged in other departments of municipal work. Mayor Cook says the city may have the use of his horses until it procures another team of its own. Cook and Sackett are two of a kind, and are pretty hard to beat. Francis J. Heney was in town on Tuesday afternoon accompanied by Fred Goodsell on the way from Santa Ana to Pasadena where he spoke that evening. Mr. Heney is a candidate for the progressive nomination for United States senator, and addressed a meeting at Santa Ana on Monday evening. He said he would be in Orange county again some time before the November election, and would speak in the various towns of the county. Mr. and Mrs. J. W. Higgins and daughter of East Oakland, are on a two-weeks' visit to Mr. Higgins' sister, Mrs. W. E. Cook, on Olive road.

AHEIM GAZETE ANAHEIM CALIFORNIA, THURSDAY JULY 16, 1914 ANTLERED HERD ARE COMING IN FORCE THREE HUNDRED MEMBERS OF ORDER WILL HAVE BANQUET HERE ON 28TH INST. MANY LOCAL ELKS WILL ACT AS HOSTS TO VISITING BRETHREN Unless present plans miscarry and preparations come to naught, a herd of four hundred Elks will invade Anaheim on Tuesday, July 28. They come here to feed, believing they will find superior grazing ground within our gates. They are coming from all sections of Orange county, and are mustering a full force for the rodeo. It is the Santa Ana lodge of Elks that is making the invasion. This is the only Elk lodge in Orange county and it numbers on its roll men from all sections of the county, the total membership being in the neighborhood of four hundred. They are coming here to banquet, Odd Fellows' hall having been opened for the purpose. MOTHER COLONYS STILL TOP MARKET Anaheim Received Four Highest Prices on Oranges Monday Topping the market for oranges in the eastern marts of trade by Anaheim shippers is getting to be so monotonous that it is hardly worth recording, but the record made on Monday of this week was somewhat beyond the usual. In New York on that day the two highest prices recorded were paid for Mother Colony brands, the first selling at $4.05 per box and the second car at $3.45. In Philadelphia on the same day a car of Mother Colonys sold for $3.30 and a car of Carnivals for $3.00. These were the highest prices paid in Philadelphia. All these cars were shipped by the Anaheim Fruit Association. In Cleveland on the same day a car of Modieskas, shipped by the Anaheim Orange Growers' Association, sold for $2.85, being second in the list, the top being $2.90, paid for a car of Echos shipped from Placentia. This is the fourth time this year the Anaheim Fruit Association has captured the premier figure on eastern markets, and it is the third time the Mother Colony brand has sold for better than $4. It is the only packing house in the United States that has received that figure more than once. WELGOME GIVEN REPUBLICAN CANDIDATES CAPTAIN FREDERICKS AND CONGRESSMAN KNOWLAND SPEAK IN ORANGE COUNTY LARGE AND ENTHUSIASTIC AUDIENCES GREET THEM EVERY-WHERE IN AUTO TOUR Captain John D. Fredericks of Los Angeles, and Congressman Joseph R. Knowland, accompanied by a large delegation of republicans in automobiles, toured Orange county on Wednesday, speaking to large and enthusiastic audiences of people at several points throughout the county. Mrs. Fredericks accompanied her husband in 'a large automobile, and the candidates had with them also a number of fellow travelers and publicity men. Several hundred people greeted them on arrival in this city at 4:15. The day was brought to a most successful climax by a great meeting at Santa Ana in the evening. Many republicans from this city, Santa Ana, Orange and Fullerton went to Placentia, who was on his way hither led after statement the repeal own ultra-spoken. elected plurality democratic republican franchise 250,000 right to 1912, the ning on reputatl plurality plead spoke wye tions.

"In so that Free this kind in old-fashion law, and manhood." And the more hard the people share piv superior grazing ground within our gates. They are coming from all sections of Orange county, and are mustering a full force for the rodeo. It is the Santa Ana lodge of Elks that is making the invasion. This is the only Elk lodge in Orange county and it numbers on its roll men from all sections of the county, the total membership being in the neighborhood of four hundred. They are coming here to banquet, Odd Fellows' hall having been engaged for the purpose. Every member of the Elk lodge, whether he belongs at Santa Ana or elswhere, is expected to join the throng and occupy the seat at the festive board reserved for him. Plates have been ordered for four hundred, and it is expected that not a vacant seat will be found at the tables. J. C. Burke, erstwhile a resident of this section, now city clerk of Santa Ana and exalted ruler of the Santa Ana Elks, will be in command of the invading host. There are seventy-five Elks living at Anaheim, Fullerton and Placentia. The majority of these belong to the Santa Ana lodge, but a number of them still hold allegiance to their home orders back east. It is complimentary to these that the lodge is coming to Anaheim to hold its banquet next Tuesday. The Elks lodge is a social order, consequently it advocates large societies. A recent decree of the supreme lodge stipulated that no lodge should be granted a charter in a town having less than ten thousand population. For this reason a movement on foot for the organization of a lodge in Anaheim a year or two ago was nipped in the bud. A barbecue under the auspices of the Santa Ana lodge was held at San Juan Capistrano Sunday at which a number of the local Elk were present. Many Elks in this neighborhood still retain their membership in eastern lodges but so long as they can say "Shibboleth" without stammering they are admitted to all functions and accorded equal honors with the local members. SUNFLOWER FORESTS MADE TO DISAPPEAR Street Superintendent Has Force of Men at Work Cleaning Up City The forests of sunflowers on vacant lots on East Center street were felled the first of the week with a car of Modieskesak, shipped by the Anaheim Orange Growers' Association, sold for $2.85, being second in the list, the top being $2.90, paid for a car of Echos shipped from Placentia. This is the fourth time this year the Anaheim Fruit Association has captured the premier figure on eastern markets, and it is the third time the Mother Colony brand has sold for better than $4. It is the only packing house in the United States that has received that figure more than once this season. Last week a car of Mother Colony sold in New York at $4.10, being the top price. ANOTHER BURGLARY ADDED TO LIST Cash Meat Market Relieved of $13 in Change Sunday Night And still the festive burglar is doing business in Anaheim and leaving no trail by which the sleuths of the law can track him down. From outlying residences he has now jumped into the business section of town, J. E. Strup, of the Cash Meat Market, being his first victim in his new departure. Entrance was gained to the meat market Sunday night by cutting open a screen in the rear. This was one of the thief's favorite modes of entree to the numerous residences which he has looted during the past few months. When the shop was opened up Monday morning the nocturnal visit was discovered, and an examination disclosed the fact that $13 in change left in the cash register Saturday night had been taken. Nothing else on the premises was disturbed, and absolutely no clue to the identity of the thief was found. This is the eighth burglary in Anaheim or its immediate vicinity within a few months, and the epidemic has recently spread to neighboring towns. JUDGE CRAIG'S PETITION FILED HERE Popular Candidate For Appellate Justice Has Many Supporters The nominating petitions for Judge Gavin W. Craig as candidate for presiding justice of the district court of appeal, second district, were filed with the county clerk of Orange County this The registration figures now show 347,000 republicans and 172,000 progressives on the roll, a republican majority of 175,000. It looks like we are going on without you, Mr. Johnson. Since the enactment of the present tariff law the importation of lemons has increased 161,000 crates over the imports during the same period SUNFLOWER FORESTS MADE TO DISAPPEAR Street Superintendent Has Force of Men at Work Cleaning Up City The forests of sunflowers on vacant lots on East Center street were felled the first of the week with a brush scythe, an axe and a hoe. This is a laudable piece of work on the part of Street Superintendent Sackett, and there are yet other groves in various sections of town whose owners might profit by this example. These tall weeds which grow rapidly and rank, when permitted to flourish, give the city the appearance of running to seed. Why should they be allowed to encumber a vacant lot when an hour or two's work will destroy them? There are other weeds besides the sunflower that might be removed to the advantage of the property. Mr. Sackett on Monday further proved that he was earning his salary in stopping a force of employees of the gas company who were about to tunnel under the pavement on West Center street for gas connection. He informed them he would not permit such work, and said the only way they could get across the street with a pipe was to cut the pavement, then replace it. This he will see is done by the gas company, and he will obtain a sufficient amount of money in hand from them to guarantee that repairs are properly made. Sackett has laid a two-inch water pipe to the plant of the Universal Tire Company at the west end, and is looking after streets and alleys as no street superintendent in town has ever done before. JUDGE CRAIG'S PETITION FILED HERE Popular Candidate For Appellate Justice Has Many Supporters The nominating petitions for Judge Gavin W. Craig as candidate for presiding justice of the district court of appeal, second district, were filed with the county clerk of Orange county this week. They contain a large number of signatures from some of the most prominent and influential citizens in the county. Although more than enough signatures were secured in Los Angeles alone, for the whole district, comprising thirteen counties, friends of Judge Craig have circulated his petitions in various counties so that he has a list of signatures endorsing him of the most prominent men and women in almost every large town, in the district. The candidacy of Judge Craig has received general endorsement and support from members of the several different parties, the office being non-partisan, and his election to the presiding justiceship seems assured. His friends even predict that he will be finally elected at the primaries in August, this being possible if he secures more votes than both other candidates for the office. Gustave Stern, of the Stern & Goodman Mercantile Company, Fullerton, is taking an extended vacation this summer. He left Tuesday for his old home at Coburg, Germany, where he expects to remain several months, no definite date for his return having been fixed. Gus made a visit to Germany seven years ago. His father is still living at the age of 87 years, but his mother died a year ago. Chairman Duckworth then introduced Congressman Knowland who spoke for a few minutes. "I hall from the northern section of the state," said Mr. Knowland, "consequently am not so well known in these parts as Captain Fredericks. For the past ten years I have been fighting the battles of California. I come fresh from the seat of national government. The republican party is coming back. In fact, it is back already, and back to stay. The people of California are going to elect a republican governor and a republican United States senator this fall. Tonight at Santa Ana I am going to review one year of democratic administration, and show that under its rule your industries have been severely injured, while under republican rule you were protected. I have served 10 years in congress and had but one contest for the place. That was at the last election, and because I refused to leave the republican party." The party left here after half an hour's stay, and after speaking a few minutes at Orange went on to Santa Ana where a rousing rally was held in the Elks' hall at night. Walter Eden, president of the Lincoln Republican Club, presided. Captain Fredericks devoted most of his time to a discussion of state affairs, showing up the false pretenses of the Johnson administration. He said: "The people of California have been raised by levying box of oil was judicial education to speak While imperial per cent edge of a "For the congress, government before One of the Bahama Islands lily citrus fruit publicism those islands plea me democracy."

The most successful eting at Santa from this city, Fullerton went Captain Fredway hither led after false gods by the demagogue statements of progressive leaders, but the republican party is going on to its own ultimate destiny. The people have spoken. In 1910 the republican party elected Hiram Johnson to office by a plurality of 22,256 votes over Bell, the democratic candidate. This action by republicans was rewarded by their disfranchisement in 1912, when more than 250,000 republicans were denied the right to express their will. And in 1912, this same Hiram Johnson, running on a ticket with a man of national reputation and fame, was able to get a plurality of only 174 votes. The people had spoken. Again the people spoke when at the beginning of this year they registered their party affiliations. The republican registration today in California is 347,861, while the progressive registration shows 172,064, or a republican plurality of 175,797. Before the end of registration the republican sentiment will be shown be more than 200,000 ahead. "It all means more than politics. It means business, for have not the people of California suffered under the iniquity of the democratic tariff policy? "Gov. Johnson has gone up and down the state, swinging his arms and clenching his fists and displaying a boundless array of dentistry in an effort to stem the tide, but the people are through with him. The progressive party must sink into oblivion. "In some places I have heard it said that Fredericks is a reactionary. I am this kind of a reactionary. I believe in old-fashioned honesty, old-fashioned law, and in the old-fashioned rule of manhood." And then Captain Fredericks once more hammered into the conscience of the people the record of the progres-ive party leaders in stealing the PIONEER WEEK A PERIOD OF FESTIVAL SIX DAYS OF CARNIVAL PLANNED BY BOARD OF TRADE FOR SEPTEMBER COMMITTEE ASKS $2,500 FOR ADVERTISING PURPOSES TO BEGIN WITH Pioneer week, if the plans now being formulated by the board of trade do not miscarry, will be one of the red letter periods in the history of Anaheim. Only indefinite suggestions as to the nature of the entertainment to be staged during the second week in September has so far been made, the details being left to a committee of six, the selection of which is delegated to Chairman Duckworth. Herman Noll of the entertainment committee, one of the promoters of the affair, stated that $2,500 would be required to finance the affair, and suggested that an executive committee be appointed to begin work immediately. This committee will have authority to appoint sub-committees to look after the details all such to sub- and her husband and the candida of publicity men. He greeted them at 4:15. The most successful meeting at Santa Barbara from this city, Fullerton went to Captain Fredrick's way, hither arriving at around a number who had 'gathard bearer'.

The National Italian Democratic League led the fight. The proof is absolute that a fund was raised by the importers through the levying of an assessment upon every box of imported lemons. This fund was judiciously used in a campaign of education.' The importers pretended to speak for the American consumer. While importations have increased 60 per cent the consumer has no knowledge of a reduction in price. For the first time in the history of congress, representatives of foreign governments were permitted to appear before the ways and means committee. One of these, a representative from the Bahama Islands, declared that former President Franklin D. Roosevelt was staged during the second week in September has so far been made, the details being left to a committee of six, the selection of which is delegated to Chairman Duckworth. Herman Noll of the entertainment committee, one of the promoters of the affair, stated that $2,500 would be required to finance the affair, and suggested that an executive committee be appointed to begin work immediately. This committee will have authority to appoint sub-committees to look after the details, all such to submit reports to the executive body and work under its direction. The chair withheld the announcement of the committee. It is proposed to make this a week of enjoyment and provide so many stunts that everybody can find something to suit his taste or temperament provided his taste does not run to gambling and other stunts which would shock the modesty of the better element of society. Some of the features of the California Carnival Company will probably be provided as a side show, but the Sapho, Sunbonnet Sues and others of a like nature will be strictly prohibited. A. A. Mills favored weeding out all small gambling devices such as ringing knives and rolling wheels for prizes but was informed that this would be a carnival, not a Sunday school picnic, but a strict censorship would be maintained and nothing would be permitted that could offend the sensibilities of any person unless he was so puritanical that he could discern evil where only fun, was intended. The first move on the board will be the election of a queen by popular vote. She will open the carnival and preside over the merry-making but will be assisted by an advisory board. A street fair will be one of the principal features, and all the stunts that a committee composed of six live wires can devise will be staged. The second week in September is chosen for the fete as this is the 57th anniversary of the formation of the Los Angeles Vineyard Company which founded the Mother Colony. The town was not named until the following January but it is considered that the colony was really founded in September.

While importations have increased 60 per cent the consumer has no knowledge of a reduction in price. "For the first time in the history of congress, representatives of foreign governments were permitted to appear before the ways and means committee. One of these, a representative from the Bahama Islands, declared that formerly those islands were the home of the citrus fruit industry but that the republican tariff had lost the people of those islands their former trade. This plea met a hearty response from the democratic committee. "The chief competitors of the Sugar Trust have been the producers of beet sugar. California is the principal beet sugar producing state in the Union. Twenty-five thousand men formerly employed in this industry. Twenty million dollars are invested in factories, land and equipment. Last year farmers were paid nearly seven million dollars for beets. Four million dollars were distributed for labor. The reduction in duty, with free sugar to follow, has seriously crippled this industry. As I have traveled through the beet sugar district, on every hand I hear the democratic administration condemned. I am proud to have fought this democratic tariff bill at every stage. On every item we demanded a vote so that the record would be clear as to where the responsibility rested. "One year of democratic rule has closed factories, crippled industries and thrown thousands out of employment. We have no foreign policy. And we are told that the cure for these conditions is more legislation. The difficulty is that we have already had too much legislation." With a fractured skull and other serious injuries A. Landers, a Standard oil operator, was brought to the sanitarium Wednesday for medical treatment. He had fallen from a derrick on the Emery lease while engaged in his work. Although his injuries were severe it is believed he will recover. The secretary read a letter from the Riverside Chamber of Commerce asking for copies of the protests sent from Anaheim to the State University relative to the establishment of the state experiment station at San Fernando. Eighty thousand letters and telegrams of protest had been filed by the River-side body and the communications were so voluminous that it was difficult to classify them. The secretary wanted to make a compete file, consequently desired full copies of the protests sent from Anaheim. The board of regents of the university has appointed a committee to take temporary charge of the matter and consider all protests. A. A. Mills, of the road committee, talked about the inadequacy of the culvert across the sandwash and stated his belief that a 50-foot culvert was needed there. He also complained that North street was not yet oiled, and that autoists were compelled to turn off there owing to the road building, were compelled to drive through sand almost hub deep. The road to Fullerton would probably be closed for the next two months, consequently something should be done toward making North street passable. Mr. Mills also introduced a resolution demanding that a telephone be placed in the postoffice so that patrons at a distance could inquire relative to mail, but on Chairman Duckworth's explanation that giving information relative to mall over the phone was a violation of postal rules, he withdrew his motion. Fred Marsh and wife motored down to San Diego last week and spent a day or two seeing the sights.
