MUCH ORATORY BY VARIOUS SPEAKERS REPUBLICANS HEAR NUMEROUS CANDIDATES AT MEETING OF CLUB MONDAY NIGHT J. C. BURKE, CANDIDATE FOR THE ASSEMBLY, DELIVERS AN EXCELLENT ADDRESS J. C. Burke, republican candidate for the assembly, sustained his reputation as a forceful speaker at the meeting of the Republican Club Monday night. His address was short and he did not attempt fights of rhetoric, but spoke on a few of the issues of the campaign in a convincing manner. Mr. Burke harked back into the past and spoke of his early days in and about Anaheim. He came here, he said, before the packing houses were built and purchased oranges of the growers. His first purchase in Anaheim was from Alexander Henry. He was buying oranges when the Wilson-Gorman tariff law was in effect in the reign of Grover Cleveland, and briefly told of the uncertainty of the industry at that period. Some days he was told by the Henry, J. B. Root, I. D. Jayne, Simon Lybarger, Robert McKee and others added to the enthusiasm by putting in a few pertinent words. When the ladies were called upon for a few additional remarks Mrs. Enearl rose up and moved to adjourn. ANAHEIM PEOPLE SURROUNDED BY WAR Max Nebelung and Daughter, Violet, and Others in Germany According to the best authentic records there are 150,000 Americans marooned in Europe unable to get away owing to the feverish preparations for war and the temporary confiscation of all railroads by the governments. Added to this is the fact that letters of credit are only waste paper and a large majority are stranded without funds. The friends of Max Nebelung and his daughter, Miss Violet, which includes all the people of Anaheim, are somewhat concerned about their welfare. They are in Germany, probably in Berlin, the pivotal point around which the war preparations revolve. They are no doubt safe but their movements are hampered and escape from the war zone impossible. Misses Caroline Jennings and Ethel Betta are also presumed to be in Germany which means that they are in like predicament with the Nebelungs. Still later it received a dispatch from Although just in its of the Placentia Pro is a lusty youngster of rapid and sturdy fact it looks like a to which Orange county point with pride.

He came here, he said, before the packing houses were built and purchased oranges of the growers. His first purchase in Anaheim was from Alexander Henry. He was buying oranges when the Wilson-Gorman tariff law was in effect in the reign of Grover Cleveland, and briefly told of the uncertainty of the industry at that period. Some days he was told by the shipper that there was nothing doing, a ship load of fruit having arrived in an eastern port from a foreign land. The shipper in those days never knew whether he would get returns from a car or not. It was a gambling game. Sometimes his shipment was a total loss. Sometimes he would get enough from his fruit to pay the freight, and occasionally there would be a slight margin of profit in it. There are 42 issues confronting the voters of California counting the proposed constitutional amendments and some candidates are making a campaign on these propositions, but in local matters the principal question is, which one do you want. The progressive movement, said Mr. Burke, is merely a revival of the old populistic flurry of twenty years ago. The progressives are joining hands with the people of the middle west and neglecting our own interests. There is no section of the country depending upon a protective tariff so much as California. The only fault with Mr. Burkes' speech was its brevity. He talked but a few moments but every sentence was interesting. He rapped the administration and some of California's representatives for crippling our sugar industry, and paid a tribute to Kent, the renegade representative from the north. Speaking of his candidacy he said that the contest was between Hans Weisel and himself. They were warm personal friends, the only thing separating them being their political differences. "So far as I am concerned," said he, "I am a republican and would not deny the doctrines of the party to secure the best office within the gift of the people. Many candidates were present, and all made short addresses. R. Y. Williams, candidate for sueprior judge, was first called upon and spoke for a few minutes. He said he came over to hear a good speech and was not aware that he would be called upon for the opening talk. "I am a non-partisan can-doing man." Mrs. Frank Flory of Burton avenue started last week on a months' trip with a party from Pasadena. As far north as Portland, then Yellowstone Park is included in this delightful outing. What concerned about their welfare. They are in Germany, probably in Berlin, the pivotal point around which the war preparations revolve. They are no doubt safe but their movements are hampered and escape from the war zone impossible. Misses Caroline Jennings and Ethel Betta are also presumed to be in Germany which means that they are in like predicament with the Nebelungs. Still later it received a dispatch from the Plymouth agency directing it to return with all speed to the nearest American port. This was received at 10 o'clock Friday night when the ship was 900 miles off Plymouth. To the saloon full of passengers Captain Polack said: "Gentlemen and ladies, I have an announcement to make. War has broken out between France, Germany, England and Russia. We are going back to America. The gentlemen will please assist me in allaying the fears of the ladies. I do not think there is a great deal of danger. We have plenty of coal." The vessel turned and ran into Bar Harbor, Maine, Monday, where the passengers landed, and will probably return to their homes. Gustave Stern sailed for Hamburg on Tuesday last on the North German Lloyd liner Kronprinzessin Cecelle. This vessel carried $10,000,000 in gold consigned to foreign banks and it was reported captured by an English cruiser in the channel. Later advices, however, state that it was intercepted by wireless and ordered to avoid its English port of call and take the most direct route for Hamburg. The report prevailed in town early in the week that Mr. Nebelung had been robbed of $400 while waiting at the railroad station at Wittstock for his daughter, Miss Violet Nebelung. The report lacks confirmation and is discredited by Raymond Nebelung, who said yesterday that he had heard nothing from his father indicating that such an occurrence had taken place. A report that Mr. Nebelung had telegraphed home for money is also pronounced untrue at the First National Bank.

R. Y. Williams, candidate for sueprior judge, was first called upon and spoke for a few minutes. He said he came over to hear a good speech and was not aware that he would be called upon for the opening talk. "I am a non-partisan candidate," said he. "It is pretty hard for me after being in the work so long. The republican party is entering into a winning campaign. It was never in better shape. The party may have occasional setbacks but it will eventually win." Dr. D. W. Hasson, W. B. Williams, R. P. Mitchell, Cal D. Lester, C. E. Ruddock, J. M. Backs, Ed Vegeley, and other candidates followed with brief addresses, but each declared that Joe Burke had told all he knew and it would be folly to repeat. Judge Howard was prevailed upon to make a few remarks. "Our next superior judge," said he, "states that the county and local candidates will be placed on the ballot as non-partisans, therefore it behooves every voter to be careful of his ballot. We cannot be too careful in selecting the republican candidates and voting for them all along the line. Search diligently and learn who the republican candidates are. Let us all teach republicanism and make certain a republican victory." J. W. Duckworth also responded to a call and spoke a few words of his observations in the east. "Kansas, as well as California," said he, "is preparing to redeem herself and elect republicans to every office." Supervisor Schumacher, Alexander Mrs. Frank Flory of Burton avenue started last week on a months' trip with a party from Pasadena. As far north as Portland, then Yellowstone Park is included in this delightful outing. Mr. and Mrs. F. A. Wilcox of Burton avenue, son Ralph, daughter Miss Trix, and B. F. Porter, of Fullerton, returned home Sunday from a weeks' stay at Camp Baldy. The climbers of the party went to the top of San Antonio, 10,080 feet, and had their pictures taken to prove it. A fine buck and two doe were seen on the different trails. A very nice time is reported. Bruce Anson, socialist candidate for sheriff of Orange county, will speak to the public at the corner of Los Angeles and Center street Saturday evening at 7:30 o'clock. Mr. Anson is a pretty smooth talker and will present his doctrine in a favorable light. Superintendent Sackett is having difficulty educating people up to his standard of cleanliness. He complains that certain persons trim their geranium plants, rose trees and other shrubbery, and throw the dead brush onto his clean streets. If people will exert themselves sufficiently to notify him when they have an accumulation of rubbish to remove, and will pile it conveniently for the wagon, his men will haul it away, but he objects to having it thrown promiscuously into the streets, where it becomes a nuisance. Mr. Sackett is trying to make Anaheim a clean town, and he would like to have the co-operation of its people. The company for culls and turnover worth 25 cents.

MAKING POPULAR PRODUCT FROM CULL ORANGES $25,000 ADDITIONAL CAPITAL ADDED TO HANDLE THE INCREASING BUSINESS Although just in its infancy the plant of the Placentia Preserving Company is a lusty youngster and gives promise of rapid and sturdy development. In fact it looks like a coming institution to which Orange county can eventually point with pride. It will send Orange county fruit products to all quarters of the civilized world, and they are put up in such a savory style that the consumer who tastes cries for more. Aside from the fact that this company is putting a profitable article on the market, it will also solve the problem of the disposition of cull oranges which are at present a cause of loss to the growers and packers, and will turn them into a source of profit. The factory was established for the purpose of utilizing cull citrus fruits manufacturers can pay good prices for the cabbage. Situated in the heart of the greatest citrus fruit and vegetable region in the world, with raw material at bottom prices and finished product unexcelled, there is no reason why the Placentia Preserving Company should not grow rapidly and develop into an institution of magnitude. Wh wherever its goods have gone they have received unqualified commendation and requests for more. Mr. Stevenson has by perseverance and study developed a process of preserving oranges that is unequalled, and the problem confronting him now is the ability to fill the orders pouring in from those who have tasted and demand more. FORMER ANAHEIMER COMMITTS SUICIDE Dr. Edward Cahen, a Promising Young Man, Ends His Life Despondent, apparently, because success did not follow immediately upon the completion of his post graduate work, Edmond M. Cahen, regarded as a promising young physician, shot and killed himself early Monday morning at the home of his mother, No. 1408 Magnolia avenue, Los Angeles. Dr. Cahen had only recently returned from Berlin, where he took a nine months' post-graduate course under some of the greatest surgeons of Europe. He received the highest honors, grounding into the brief span of time COMMISSIONERS' ATTITUDE ON HIGHWAY THOROUGHLY ALIVE TO PROGRESS THROUGH ORANGE COUNTY, SAYS MR. DARLINGTON TELLS ASSOCIATED CHAMBERS THAT THEY WILL NOT ACCEPT INFERior PIECE OF WORK "Reports of the state highway situation have been much magnified by the newspapers and other critics. The progress of the work is closely watched. Not an inch of the road will be accepted until it is made entirely satisfactory to the authorities and the people." This was the statement made by N. D. Darlington of the state highway commission, at the meeting of the Associated Chambers of Commerce at Buena Park Wednesday night. Mr. Darlington was in the limelight during the greater portion of the session as, after making a statement on the progress of the work, he was compelled to answer a multitude of questions fired at him by men who had grievances. He stated that the commission, was familiar with conditions as they existed and expected to do its duty. It was an county fruit products to all quarters of the civilized world, and they are put up in such a savory style that the consumer who tastes cries for more. Aside from the fact that this company is putting a profitable article on the market, it will also solve the problem of the disposition of cull oranges which are at present a cause of loss to the growers and packers, and will turn them into a source of profit. The factory was established for the purpose of utilizing cull citrus fruits and turning this objectionable fruit into a marketable commodity. It began by canning oranges and making marmalade and citrus juices. This stuff is put under a special process invented by J. L. Stevenson, the manager, who has spent the past five years in experiments. He claims to have a process superior to anything in existence and comparison with other goods of the same kind justifies his claims. Samples of various products have been sent into the markets and invariably resulted in orders. One large Chicago firm wanted to engage the entire product of the factory after distributing some samples among customers. A firm in London sent in an order after receiving a sample and followed it up with a cable message asking that it be doubled. This firm also sent to Placentia a few cans of preserved oranges from Spain, which were being sold on the London market, for comparison. They were not oranges but tangerines, and presented a dry, mouldy appearance. In addition to the canned sliced oranges the company also manufactures marmalade from grape fruit and oranges, citrus juices, and preserves the peel which is shipped to New York and candied. The culls only are being used in this manufacture now, but Mr. Stevenson says that when the plant outgrows the culls they can profitably use the lower grade of oranges now being shipped. The institution is not very large at present as it started with a capital of $12,000. The first year's product rapidly sold and orders that could not be filled poured in. $25,000 additional capital is now being added, and it will all be used in manufacturing goods to fill the orders already booked. Mr. Stevenson claims that with this working capital he can next year handle all the cull oranges in Orange county. Additions are now being made to the factory, principally warehouse and cellar room. The machinery in the plant is already access did not follow immediately upon the completion of his post graduate work, Edmond M. Cahen, regarded as a promising young physician, shot and killed himself early Monday morning at the home of his mother, No. 1408 Magnolia avenue, Los Angeles. Dr. Cahen had only recently returned from Berlin, where he took a nine months' post-graduate course under some of the greatest surgeons of Europe. He received the highest honors, crowding into the brief span of time several years of work. Relatives and friends believe this great mental strain was the direct cause of his suicide. Since his return two months ago Dr. Cahen had been busy with a large number of operations, and had made plans to open a downtown office shortly and until two weeks ago seemed filled with enthusiasm at the prospect. Then he suddenly changed. From the eager intense surgeon, he became despondent and quiet. What had seemed a certain success, took on the color of failure, and although his relatives made every effort to make him believe he would be a success, he seemed filled with dark forebodings. This is borne out somewhat by the note which he leafor his mother: "was as follows: 'My darling mother: Please forgive me. You have been the most perfect mother any one could have. I have not been happy for years, although I have tried to make people think so. Don't think I have done anything wrong, for I have not. I know Frank and Gladys will always look after you and Melanie. Good-bye, dear ones, Edmond." Dr. Cahen was born in Anaheim 25 years ago. He left here with his family ten years ago, moving to Los Angeles. He was a graduate of the Anaheim schools, and five years ago graduated from the medical department of the University of California, and took a position as intern at the county hospital. On the Fourth of July many of his old Anaheim friends met him at Balboa, where he was accompanied by a beautiful young lady. He appeared in excellent spirits then and greeted his old friends with cordiality. He leaves besides his mother, Mrs. Hippolyte Cahen, two sisters, Mrs. F. B. Crook and Miss Melanie Cahen, and a brother, Sylvain. D. Darlington of the state highway commission, at the meeting of the Associated Chambers of Commerce at Buena Park Wednesday night. Mr. Darlington was in the limelight during the greater portion of the session as, after making a statement on the progress of the work, he was compelled to answer a multitude of questions fired at him by men who had grievances. He stated that the commission was familiar with conditions as they existed and expected to do its duty. It was appointed to serve the people and intended to do so. Besides the members had a reputation to maintain and could not do it by passing up objectionable work. The commissioners, he said, were thoroughly acquainted with the condition of the stretch of road between this city and Santa Ana. The reason for the delay in surfacing it was because the commissioners wanted to give time for the weak spots to develop. Also the statement that money subscribed in Orange county for the highway was being elsewhere was misleading. "I can assure you," he declared, "that not a dollar of that money will go astray." The right of way through the Irvine ranch is practically secured, said Mr. Darlington. Two additional contracts between Satina Ana and San Juan Capistrano will shortly be let. The county as yet has no title to a right of way below San Juan, which is controlled by the Santa Fe railroad. The highway from Santa Ana to San Juan will be completed in the spring, and from San Juan to the San Diego county line some time during the summer. The $400,000 furnished by the purchase of bonds is sufficient to complete the bond through this county. In answer to a question Mr. Darlington said that after traveling up and down a 15-foot pavement he considered it practical. B. F. Porter precipitated a warm discussion over the condition of the stretch between Anaheim and Fullerton. The grades were not right, and one spot, near Orangenteorpe avenue, would be under water in the rainy season. Others took a hand and pointed out objectionable features mainly in the cuts and fills. Mr. Darlington said he was glad to receive such criticisms as they would be of assistance to the board in its inspection work and reiterated the statement that the commission intended to safeguard the road and not a single section of it would be accepted until it was entirely satisfactory. The average cost of the road through Orange county will be in the The plant is also canning vegetables, but its pact achievements in this line are only a small beginning of what the future will be. A short time ago an order was received for 200 barrels of sauerkraut which had to be placed on the book and await future delivery. Tomato canning will shortly begin and 30,000 cases, or 840,000 quarts will be put up. This is the product of 250 acres. Thirty people will be employed and 35 cans per minute will be put up when the season begins. Pumpkin and spinach is also being canned. Spinach canning is a particular job as it must be rushed to the cannery and put up fresh to get the best results. The cabbage industry will be greatly stimulated by the manufacture of sauerkraut. A cellar is now being constructed for the storage of this product. There is an unlimited market for it and the J. C. BURKE UNITED IN HOLY WEDLOCK Republican Candidate For Assemblyman Takes Him a Wife J. C. Burke has become a benedict, and in doing so broke a vow which he made six years ago when he joined the Bohemian Club, the chief obligation taken by the members being a declaration never to marry. There were ten members in the club and Joe was the sixth to break the vow. The bride is Miss Amber P. Brackney of Santa Ana, and the couple were married Saturday by Rev. Paul E. Wright, pastor of the Christian church. She is a young lady of unusual attractiveness. Mr. Burke is one of Orange county's brightest young men. He is at present city clerk of Santa Ana, and is the republican candidate for the assembly. He is exalted ruler of the Elks and led a body of 300 members to Anaheim two weeks ago. When the news of his proposed marriage leaked out the Elks sought to kidnap him and hold him prisoner until he cancelled his engagement but he eluded the herd and was safely married. Street Superintendent Sackett is laying a four-inch water main on North Philadelphia street in accordance with a recent decree of the trustees. Others took a hand and pointed out objectionable features mainly in the cuts and fills. Mr. Darlington said he was glad to receive such criticisms as they would be of assistance to the board in its inspection work and reiterated the statement that the commission intended to safeguard the road and not a single section of it would be accepted until it was entirely satisfactory. The average cost of the road through Orange county will be in the neighborhood of $8,500 per mile. The Carbon Canyon road, a highway extending from Olinda to Chino, in San Bernardino county, was also brought under discussion and was the cause of much oratory. Orange and San Bernardino counties agreed some years ago to construct this road, each county building that portion within its own boundaries. The San Bernardinns began work immediately and are just completing their section, whereas Orange county has not yet begun. Porter grew somewhat heated in making an argument and asserted that he would like to see Orange county begin on its section before San Berdoo finished. Aside from its convenience and value to the community its construction was a question of keeping faith with our neighboring county. The Orange county section is in the Fullerton road district, and the preponderance of opinion was that Supervisor Schumacher should build the road out of the district's funds, but Schumacher objected to spending $4,000 or $5,000 of the district's money on a road which in his opinion is for the benefit of the entire county. Supervisor Leck stated that the Fullerton road district had $17,000 available for road purposes and it was clearly the duty of the district to construct the highway. Supervisors Talbert, Leek ZETTE NUMBER 45 MIONERS' DE ON WAY IVE TO PROG-RANGE COUN-DARLINGTON ED CHAMBERS WILL NOT ACCEPT CASE OF WORK State highway situation magnified by the other critics.

Mr. the limelight during of the session as, ment on the prog-was compelled to of questions fired and grievances. He mission, was famil-ies they existed and it did not. and Struck agreed on this and promis-ed the district the assistance of the county in case of need. Chairman Tal-bert stated that the law would prevent the supervisors voting money for a road so long as money was available in the district in which it was built, but they could come to its assistance in case of need. Assessor Sleeper, Audi-tor Lester, J. A. Armitage and Lew Wallace joined in the discussion. A. A. Mills made a motion that a committee be appointed to confer with the supervisors, to which Lew Wallace offered an amendment that a 5-cent tax levy be made for the purpose of building this and other roads. Sleeper strongly objected to this. He stated that the tax had been whittled down from $1.60 four years ago to $1.40 this year, and a raise would cause loud objection. The amendment was voted down over-whelmingly and Mr. Mills' motion followed into the discard after a statement by Struck that it would be a waste of time sending a committee to the supervisors as they were all present and understood the situation. By a rising vote the assembly then declared that the road should be built not only for the purpose of keeping faith with our neighbors but also because it is a connecting link with the cities east of us. The Fullerton road district will probably supply the money. It will cost in the neighborhood of $5,000. While there is sufficient funds in the Fullerton road district to pay for this proposed road, the amount in the treasury standing to the credit of the district being $17,000, Supervisor Schumacher, who is again at loggerheads with the TWO ANAHEIMERS INJURED BY P.E. CAR J. P. FRANCIS AND WIFE RUN DOWN WHILE CROSSING TRACKS AT HANSON BOTH SERIOUSLY HURT AND THEIR MOTOR LAUNDRY WAGON BADLY WRECKED Another accident has been added to the list chalked up against the Pacific Electric. Only a few months ago Mrs. Bodine was struck by a car near Garden Grove and instantly killed, leaving a family of 12 children. Last Wednesday afternoon two Anaheim people were victims of an accident at Hansen station. Although they escaped death by a miracle both were seriously injured. J. P. Francis, driver of an Anaheim Steam Laundry motor wagon, and his wife, were the injured parties. They had been delivering laundry on Mr. Francis' route west of town and were returning to Anaheim, crossing the track about 2 o'clock. The rear end of the auto was on the track when a car travelling at a high rate of speed struck it and hurled it 40 feet from the crossing. Mr. and Mrs. Francis were both state highway meeting of the Association of Commerce at Tuesday night.

The Fullerton road district will probably supply the money. It will cost in the neighborhood of $5,000. While there is sufficient funds in the Fullerton road district to pay for this proposed road, the amount in the treasury standing to the credit of the district being $17,000. Supervisor Schumacher, who is again at loggerheads with the other members of the board, as he has been more or less since taking his seat two years ago, asks that the cost of the road be paid for by moneys from the general county fund instead of moneys already belonging to the Fullerton road district. To this Supervisors Talbert, Struck and Leck objected, and it was the consensus of opinion that Schumacher get over his sulks and co-operate with other members of the board of supervisors to the end that this Chino road be constructed, and the good faith of Orange county, in covenant with San Bernardino county be faithfully kept. As a matter of fact, work upon this road should have begun long ago and considerable criticism was manifested toward the supervisor from this district, that he has delayed the work when there are sufficient funds in the Fullerton road district to complete the road. The question' of the free county library was called up, but at the request of Chairman Armitage the committee was granted thirty days' additional time in which to formulate a report. Both the president and vice-president being absent the body was called to order by Secretary Metzger who called for nominations for chairman. Delegate Aldrich of La Habra, was unanimously chosen. The secretary then read a number of letters and telegrams from the absent president, Gustavo Stern, who appeared to be dropping them off all along the line to New York. The last one was mailed just before he stepped aboard the Kronprinsessin Cecille en route for Hamburg. The meeting-at Buena Park was the largest ever held by the associated chambers. One hundred and fifty guests sat down to the tables in the school house, where an excellent banquet had been prepared by the Buena Park ladies. Orange was the prevailing color. The tables were covered with orange colors, and even the pretty waitresses wore orange colored caps. A beryl of the Park young ladies also decked with golden colors opened by a miracle both were seriously injured. J. P. Francis, driver of an Anaheim Steam Laundry motor wagon, and his wife, were the injured parties. They had been delivering laundry on Mr. Francis' route west of town and were returning to Anaheim, crossing the track about 2 o'clock. The rear end of the auto was on the track when a car travelling at a high rate of speed struck it and hurled it 40 feet from the crossing. Mr. and Mrs. Francis were both thrown through the front door and landed free of the car and the auto. They were both unconscious when picked up and remained in that condition for hours after being brought to the sanitarium. In response to a telephone message immediately sent to the sanitarium Dr. J. L. Beebe went out and rendered what assistance he could on the ground. The ambulance was hurried to the scene and brought the injured couple in. At the hospital a thorough examination revealed that Mr. Francis had received several severe cuts and bruises. The worst injury, however, was to his back. He was paralyzed from his hips down and there is a possibility that he may never regain the use of his limbs.Mrs. Francis received a severe injury of the right lung, and was seriously shocked, bruised and cut, but no bones were broken: She regained consciousness during the night. The laundry auto was badly wrecked. The rear wheels were smashed, the bed wrenched and twisted, and the front door broken off by the two victims catapulting through it. Parties who saw the accident cannot understand why Mr. Francis drove onto the track in front of the oncoming car. The motorman saw him and issued a loud shriek of warning, keeping it up until he struck the auto, but Mr. Francis appeared to be unconscious of its approach. The car was going at such a high rate of speed that it ran a hundred yards before coming to a standstill. Mr. Francis has been with the Anaheim Steam Laundry two months. He owns a ranch but a couple of months ago purchased the laundry wagon and took the route west of town. His wife always accompanied him on his trips and frequently their little son went with them. Fortunately on last Wednesday's trip he remained at home else the accident might have been more serious. Both the victims are recovering, but it is possible that Mr. Francis will partially paralyzed from the in- The meeting at Buena Park was the largest ever held by the associated chambers. One hundred and fifty guests sat down to the tables in the school house, where an excellent banquet had been prepared by the Buena Park ladies. Orange was the prevailing color. The tables were covered with orange colors, and even the pretty waitresses wore orange colored capes. A bevy of the Park young ladies also decked with golden colors, opened the proceedings by singing "I Love You, California," after which Dr. D. W. Hasson gave an address of welcome which was responded to by Lew Wallace. The singers were Mesdames James Bishop, Joseph Keith, H. M. Stanfield, Harvey Welrbach, George Thomas, Harold Covey, Chas. Owens, J. Raines, N. R. Robertson; Misses Ruth Loughboro, Katie Goldie, Blanche Sawyer, Agnes Harding. Garden Grove was chosen as the place for holding the next meeting of the associated chambers. An entertainment will be given at the auditorium of the Fremont school on Thursday evening, August 13, which promises to be unique. Miss Margaret McKee, America's finest whistling soloist, has been engaged, and will whistle some of her popular renditions, among them being "The Invitation," "The Mocking Bird," and "The Holy City." Aside from the unusual spectacle of beholding a woman who can whistle it is claimed that Miss McKee is in reality an expert. Her entertainment will be augmented by Miss Hilda Butler's piano renditions and Miss Leach McKee's impersonations. Admission is free but you can drop a coin in the hat if you think the entertainment worth it. Mr. Francis has been with the Anaheim Steam Laundry two months. He owns a ranch but a couple of months ago purchased the laundry wagon and took the route west of town. His wife always accompanied him on his trips and frequently their little son went with them. Fortunately on last Wednesday's trip he remained at home else the accident might have been more serious. Both the victims are recovering, but it is possible that Mr. Francis will be partially paralyzed from the injury to his back. SPRAYING TREES FOR APHIS PEST Experiments Carried on Upon 36 Walnut Trees in Mr. Neff's Orchard A. R. Tylor, of the State Experiment Station at Riverside, on Friday sprayed 36 trees in J. B. Neff's walnut orchard for aphis. Mr. Tylor used six different insecticide sprays, using each on six trees on alternate rows. Spraying was done as an experimentation with new insecticide, and examination will be made this week to learn which of the sprays is most efficacious in ridding walnut trees of this pest. Mr. Neff's orchard is now at its very best appearance, and nuts promise an abundant harvest. His trees some years ago top-grafted for blight are in superb condition and will yield a heavy crop and first-class nuts. Rapid work is being done on the Spoerl-Muckenthaler block on East Center street. The brick walls are going up and the outer shell will soon be completed.
