ORANGE COUNTY ELKS CAPTURE ANAHEIM 300 MEMBERS OF ORDER AT SANTA ANA ENJOY BANQUET TUESDAY NIGHT ALSO RENDER AN ENTERTAINING PROGRAM AT THE ANAHEIM OPERA HOUSE One of the jollest bunches that ever blew into Anaheim drifted through our gates Tuesday night and took possession of the town. They were Elks, and they came from Santa Ana, Orange, Fullerton, Huntington Beach, and from La Habra and Laguna. The visiting herd was augmented, aided and abetted by a number of local Elks, who stered the visitors around and pointed out the best grazing spots. Exalted Ruler J. C. Burke was in command of the visitors. He is high-cock-alorum of the Santa Ana lodge which gathers its members from all sections of Orange county. There are 410 members of the lodge, 75 of them being residents of the northern end of the county. The gathering Tuesday night was merely a social affair offered by Lodge No. 794 to the Anaheim members. A Santa Ana band accompanied the visitors and discoursed stirring music on the streets, at the opera house, on the banquet grounds and various other places. The crowd gathered at the Eagles' hall on South Lemon street at 8 o'clock and formed in line for the march to the Anaheim opera house, headed by the band. A number of guests were present on invitation and joined the SPECIAL TRAIN EXCURSION FOR ANAHEIM FOLKS Anaheim is to enjoy an unusual treat in the way of an excursion de luxe, a chartered train, sight-seeing autos, and a country dinner. The trip is scheduled for Sunday, August 2, leaving Santa Fe depot at 10:30 A.M. We are told that the country dinner is a real feature—something out of the ordinary. Representatives of the Lynwood Co., sole owners of a 327-acre tract of land located just south of Huntington Park, on the Long Beach boulevard, at the intersection of the Santa Ana electric car line, are making their headquarters at the Commercial hotel for the week and plan to interview most of our townspeople. The Lynwood Company has a well-known reputation of handling excursions in a way that creates boosters out of all their guests. It is said they pride themselves on the "dinner get-up" and reception to their out-of-town guests. The excursion is for the purpose of affording an opportunity to see and consider the investment possibilities of Acres and Half-Acrees located between Los Angeles and the Harbor. A modest investment for the modest pocket book. Tickets are on sale at Fishle's ice cream parlors and by representatives of the company at 50 cents for round trip including dinner. MINERAL PRODUCTION The nation's output of mineral products of various kinds is a fair measure of industrial activity. For several months now the Department of the Interior, through the geological survey, has been issuing its final statistics of the 1913 mineral production which contains details in detail.

A Santa Ana band accompanied the visitors and discoursed stirring music on the streets, at the opera house, on the banquet grounds and various other places. The crowd gathered at the Eagles' hall on South Lemon street at 8 o'clock and formed in line for the march to the Anaheim opera house, headed by the band. A number of guests were present on invitation and joined the procession which was nearly two blocks long. Arriving at the opera house the assemblage was briefly extended a welcome by Mr. Burke who requested everybody to turn himself loose and have a good time. The proceedings at the opera house were under the direction of E. S. Morrow, chairman of the entertainment committee. It required two hours to get through the program which Mr. Morrow had prepared and there was not a dull moment during that time. In addition to band and orchestra music a few stunts had been staged by the manager which were unexpected but nevertheless received with uproarous applause. It was half past ten o'clock before this entertainment came to an end, and although the auditors were beginning to see visions of the banquet awaiting them elsewhere, they were content to enjoy what was set before them at the opera house. The curtain went down on the final act at 10:30 and the crowd filed out, formed in procession and marched down to the Eagles' nest where the banquet was waiting on the lawn. There were no exercises here except intermittent music by the band and Exalted Ruler Burke's toast to absent members. This is one of the ritualistic functions of the Elks and is always given at 11 o'clock. This was one of the most enjoyable affairs ever pulled off in Anaheim. The Elks came to Anaheim to have a good time and brought it with them. Being among Orange county's best they know how to entertain and enjoy themselves without going to extremes, and the visitors who were privileged to participate carried home with them the memory of a most enjoyable evening. The Santa Ana lodge of Elks is the only one in the county at present. The rule hitherto prevailing that lodges could only be organized in towns of ten thousand or more population was changed at the recent session of the order in Denver, authorizing establishment of lodges in towns of five thou MINERAL PRODUCTION The nation's output of mineral products of various kinds is a fair measure of industrial activity. For several months now the Department of the Interior, through the geological survey, has been issuing its final statistics of the 1913 mineral production which confirms in detail the preliminary estimates issued early in January for the principal minerals. In the large majority of cases these authoritative figures tell in one way or another the same story of industrial prosperity. In coal production the increase has been general, and it is this very fact that serves as an unmistakable index of general health in the industrial world. As state after state is shown to have had its banner coal year—West Virginia, Illinois, Ohio, Kentucky, Alabama, Virginia, Oklahoma, New Mexico, Montana, Texas, Utah, and Pennsylvania in both bituminous and anthracite, the record becomes spectacular. Ohio for instance had its floods, yet there was a substantial 6 per cent increase in coal output, and the miners averaged more working days in 1913 than in 1912. Twelve other states showed increases varying from 3 per cent in Iowa to 12 per cent in Indiana and over 15 per cent in Washington, and only Colorado, Maryland, North Dakota, Nevada, Jdaho, and Missouri show decreased output, the Colorado labor troubles explaining the only significant decrease. In a similar way, the figures of coke production give large increases, and coke, it may be noted, is a step nearer the metal industry. Petroleum production in 1813 exceeded all records, an increase of 25 million barrels and 72 million dollars over the 1912 returns. In metal mining, the iron and zinc mines had a banner year, while gold, silver, lead and copper showed a decline in many of the largest producing states. Structural materials on the other hand exhibit marked gains almost without exception. Thus 1913 was the banner year for cement, which gains more than 11 per cent over 1912, and record outputs are also shown for lime, building sand and gravel, sand-lime brick, and glass sand. Other mineral products for which 1913 was a record-breaking year, are bauxite and aluminum, sulphuric acid, feldspar, mica, pottery, and talc and soapstone, Ice cream parlors and by representatives of the company at 50 cents for round trip including dinner.

The Santa Ana lodge of Elks is the only one in the county at present. The rule hitherto prevailing that lodges could only be organized in towns of ten thousand or more population was changed at the recent session of the order in Denver, authorizing establishment of lodges in towns of five thousand inhabitants. This makes Anaheim eligible, and as there are 75 Elks in this vicinity who are desirous of having a lodge at home, it is probable that steps will be taken to organize here. A lodge of Elks would be welcomed here and would undoubtedly start with a good membership. Food your milch cows the cheapest and best dairy food—sugar beet pulp at 75 cents per ton from chute.

Fitzgerald, district passenger agent Washington-Sunset route, were looking up business in Anaheim Tuesday. One hundred and twenty-five thousand automobile license plates will be ordered by the state engineer’s office this year to supply the demand for 1915. Sealed bids will be received for the supplies for the motor vehicle department by State Engineer W. F. McClure on September 3. Besides the auto numbers the bids call for 1,000 sets of dealers’ plates, 1,000 pairs of emergency plates, 250 sets of motorcycle dealers’ seats, 20,000 registered chauffeur badges, 12,000 automobile seals, 25,000 motorcycle number plates and 250 sets of motorcycle dealers’ plates. Because he interfered when he heard two other men carving an absent friend, Jose Maria Castellano is in the hospital at Santa Ana with six knife wounds on his body, two of them reaching into his lungs. Diedad Rodriguez stabbed him. Rodriguez and a man named Juarez went to Joe Argott’s house by appointment to get work in the beet fields. Argott did not keep the appointment and the disgruntled men began to curse him. Castellano invited them out into the road. He expected to fight them with his fists, but Rodriguez used a knife. Rodriguez is in jail. Howard A. Wassum of Tustin, progressive candidate for sheriff, was looking up his friends in Anaheim Wednesday. Mr. Wassum is making a vigorous campaign. California’s agree the general proselytist stake on this quest at the polls in November. “The hour law must be proved as it stands; to amend it; then November must be decisive one.

The unique spectacle was afforded last week of the settlement of long and expensive litigation being celebrated by prayer and thanksgiving. The place was Superior Judge W. H. Thomas' court room in department 2, of the superior court of Orange county and the occasion was the ending of the suit brought by water users of Yorba Linda against the Yorba Linda Water Company, which by stipulation was settled in favor of the plaintiffs. A feature of the event was the formation of a mutual admiration society in which Judge Thomas and the attorneys on each side were enrolled as charter members, the attorneys unanimously joining in commenting on the "kindness, dignity and fairness" of the court, and the court handsomely reprocurating by praising the "splendid service" given by the attorneys. A possible fly in the ointment of general satisfaction may be the $33,000 attorneys' fee to be paid by the water users, but this may count for naught against the satisfaction of having seized upon the psychological moment to settle the matter according to the Golden Rule. And believe me, Judge Thomas is no slouch of a psychologist himself, but that is neither here nor there, but it may be up at Yorba Linda, where the judge's direct action methods has made him a host of friends who will come in handy at the coming primary. Judge B. F. Bledsoe, of San Bernardino, has also introduced a new departure in court proceedings by handing out to a convicted prisoner the court's opinion that the aforesaid prisoner should have been taken and strung up to the nearest telephone However, the legal aspect of such a case may be, the public consensus will probably be that it would have been more dignified for "No depression, not even psychological" Mr. Ford, the extremely wealthy head of a great public-supported, manufacturing enterprise to content himself with discharging employees instead of bringing suits to recover shares of profits which need not have been forced upon them. The ill-arranged plan actually offered a premium to rascality. For the bad results the "posing" Mr. Ford has only himself to blame. It was an insult to skilled labor in other trades to pay scrub women and messenger boys $5 a day. Money so easily earned is easily spent and the worker demoralized. Nor was it fair to the workers in other automobile factories, or the employers, in other parts of the country. Sentiment is steadily growing in favor of Capt. Fredericks for the next governor of the state, and the efforts of Ralston and his lieutenants to turn the tide have so far met with scant success. Ralston is a good campaigner no doubt, but the logic of the situation is against him in this county at least. It will be remembered that the Lincoln Republican Club wished the candidacy for the governorship on C. C. Chapman, but later took another look at the cards and climbed onto the Fredericks band wagon where it is at present enclosed in a snug seat near the driver, from which colign of vantage it is prepared to pilot the way to Sacramento. Declaring conditions unsatisfactory for the manufacture of the product in this state, the Standard Oil Company has decided to abandon manufacturing gasoline from natural gas. The company's plant at Newhall has been dismantled. About a year ago this company de- Judge B. F. Bledsoe, of San Bernardino, has also introduced a new departure in court proceedings by handing out to a convicted prisoner the court's opinion that the aforesaid prisoner should have been taken and strung up to the nearest telephone pole; or words to that effect. Incidentally Judge Bledsoe sentenced the man to serve 25 years at Folsom, and that'll help some. The judge mentioned the fact that he did not give the opinion in his capacity as Judge, but merely as a man among men. County Auditor C. D. Lester has just completed the compilation of his statistical report for the fiscal year 1913-14, and all taxpayers interested in the finances of the county should secure a copy for reference. The total amount expended by the county for the fiscal year is the nice little sum of $1,655.391.68. Agriculturists from all parts of San Diego county have entered upon a vigorous campaign of education to defeat, at the November election, the "universal eight-hour law" initiated by the socialists, and the leaders of this movement in the southernmost county declare they will return a "no" majority of three or four to one. The campaign will be in charge of the San Diego County Farmers' Protective League, which perfected organization by electing a board of directors of 32 members, covering every district in the county. R. C. Allen, a pioneer citrus fruit grower of Bonita, who has been an active worker for the success of the Panama-California exposition, was elected president of the new organization, and L. B. Barnes of Chula Vista, was chosen secretary. "California's agriculture, and hence the general prosperity of all, is at stake on this question, to be decided at the polls in November," said President Allen. "The universal eight-hour law must be defeated or approved as it stands, as there is no way to amend it; therefore, the vote in November must be an intelligent and decisive one. Once enacted through the initiative, the law could only be repealed by another majority vote of the people, and in the meantime itent enclosed in a snug seat near the driver, from which colign of vantage it is prepared to pilot the way to Sacramento. Declaring conditions unsatisfactory for the manufacture of the product in this state, the Standard Oil Company has decided to abandon manufacturing gasoline from natural gas. The company's plant at Newhall has been dismantled. "About a year ago this company decided to install in the oil fields at Newhall (Pico Canyon), Cal., a compressor for manufacturing gasoline from natural gas," says the Standard in its bulletin for July, just issued. "A short time after a complete plant was installed and in working order." "Many tests and experiments have been made with the gasoline produced by this compressor to determine; if possible, some safe means of transporting it to the company's refinery at El Segundo for running. Owing to the great volatility and high vapor tension test of casing-head gasoline produced from California natural gas, which makes the product at all times a dangerous one to handle, the company has decided to abandon the prospect of making gasoline from natural gas in California, and has dismantled its plant." There are now produced in the state daily over 20,000 gallons of casing-head gasoline, which has to be mixed with engine distillate, or other low-grade product in order to be brought down to a gravity, available for commercial use. In this way the production of 20,000 gallons is expanded to 50,000 or 60,000 gallons a day. The advent of the product which has been on the market only about two or three years, has been largely the cause of the present price-cutting war, and the big companies would be glad to see it abolished as a market factor. The Standard has always looked on the product with disfavor, and was among the very last to construct plants for manufacturing it in this state. The abandonment of the plant has followed very closely on the heels, and by some is believed to be partly the result of the development of a new substitute for ordinary gasoline, which the Standard recently has put on the market at a reduced price, apparently in an effort to fight casing-head gasoline. The new garage recently opened by two young men from Artesia is also doing good business and the completion of the cement boulevard through the Park to the Anaheim county road, for which contracts will be let about August 1st, will still further increase the business. Every one in or near the Park is anxiously awaiting the completion of the McComber well which is down some 3,000 feet and has been cemented. If this well proves a success, which indications point toward very conclusively, the future of the Park as an oil center is assured, as a recent number California's agriculture, and hence the general prosperity of all, is at stake on this question, to be decided at the polls in November," said President Allen. "The universal eight-hour law must be defeated or approved as it stands, as there is no way to amend it; therefore, the vote in November must be an intelligent and decisive one. Once enacted through the initiative, the law could only be repealed by another majority vote of the people, and in the meantime it could neither be vetoed by the governor nor amended by the legislature to give relief from its injurious effects upon industry. The law, as submitted, applies to every worker in the state, male and female, including even household helpers, trained nurses and others expressly exempt in the woman's eight-hour law in force." Suits for the recovery of shares of profits said to have been obtained through misrepresentation are among the developments of Henry Ford's (automobiles) unwisely-arranged profit sharing plan. The first of these suits, which has just been tried, resulted in disagreement of the jury. The defendant, Andrew Brgenklowiez, was sued by Mr. Ford for $360, the difference between what he did receive as one of Mr. Ford's profit-sharing employees and what he would have ordinarily received for the work which he did. It was charged that he had represented himself as a husband and father, though unmarried, in order to secure work in the Ford factory. He prevailed on his sister-in-law to bring her children and play the part of his wife for exhibition purposes, before the boss who hired him. When this hasty and ill-arranged profit-sharing was advertisingly paraded, it was not given as a condition that the sharing workers must have families. That condi- ADVERTISED LETTERS L. B.

LOS ALAMITOS With the Stars and Stripes floating above, the Los Alamitos Sugar Factory started at 6 o'clock Tuesday morning upon its 18th and probably greatest campaign of sugar making in its history. Well before that hour all the children of Los Alamitos under ten years of age were gathered in the engine room, each one holding a cord attached to the steam whistle. On the stroke of 6 all pulled vigorously and at the blast of the steam whistle the wheels began to turn and the 1914 campaign was in full swing. The children had previously lighted the fires of the lime kilns several days ago, and the beet sheds having been previously filled, the first beets ran into the factory and slicing commenced simultaneously with the toot of the whistle. After having thus officially started the factory on its campaign the children adjourned to the cottage of the superintendent where all were served with hot pancakes and maple syrup in honor of the occasion.

Those present were Misses Adele Huch, Alva Stark, Margart Young, Elsie and Mabel Zlegler, Ervin Stark, Lane Berringer and Alex Huch. It is authoritatively stated that the Standard Oil Company now has contracts with both the Pacific Electric and the Santa Fe railroad for the moving of 120 tank cars per day from El Segundo to Los Angeles. In addition to this, tank steamers leave El Segundo every week for the Orient and South American points loaded with the product of the refinery. The recent announcement in the increase in the capital stock of the Standard Oil Company of California from $50,000,000 to $100,000,000 is of interest in connection with El Segundo, as it undoubtedly means that part of the capital thus made available will be used in improvements and extensions at the southern plant of the company at El Anaheim Union Water Co.
