WHAT MADE ANAHEIM
Henry Braden's success in getting a couple of miles of autos in line for the opening parade of carnival week on Wednesday afternoon fell short of his expectations. He confidently expected one hundred machines to be in line, gaily decorated with gold and gilt and glitter, whereas only fifty owners fulfilled their promise. It was a creditable display, however, and some of the cars were works of art. The procession started at the Santa Fe railroad and circled through the city, stopping at the carnival grounds where it dbanded. The committee on awards gave Judge J. S. Howard the first prize. His machine was artistically decorated, Mrs. Del Launders being the artist. Little Miss Lounders dressed to represent a butterfly, was the principal attraction in the machine. Tim Boege got the second prize, and P. J. Weisel third.
The fraternal orders parade on Thursday was a great success. Nearly a dozen idiges from Anaheim and Santa Ana were in line besides a long string of decorated vehicles. The procession was headed by Marahals Kel-
REFUSES CHARTER
TO AUTO CLUB
State Will Not Permit Orange County Autoists to Form Insurance Co.
Not content with having laid a heavy load upon the California motorist by the imposition of a double tax on automobiles; not content with having in this tax; made the ownership of a light pleasure car almost as expensive as a heavy freighting truck; not content with having "soaked" the motorists by sending their number plates by express for a long time when they could have been sent much more cheaply by parcel post, the progressive state administration, through its insurance commissioner, has now stapped 2500 Orange county motorists in the fact by refusing to authorize the Orange County Auto-mobile club to establish an inter-insurance exchange for the purpose of affording its members protection from the hazards of ownerhelp and operation of pleasure cars at moderate cost.
The Orange County Auto Club had sought to establish a co-operative insurance feature which would have been of direct benefit to at least 2500 autoowners in this county, because by it they could have secured cheap insurance for their machines.
The officers of the club are among the best known men of the county. They organized according to law and complied with all requirements of the statute, paid their license fee and applied for authorization to operate.
That application went in July 15th. Since that time their every effort to secure the insurance commissioner's permission to proceed has met with silence in Sacramento.
No reason for delay has been offered; no objection has been raised to the organization of its purposes,

The fraternal orders parade on Thursday was a great success. Nearly a dozen lodges from Anaheim and Santa Ana were in line besides a long string of decorated vehicles. The procession was headed by Marshals Kellenberger and Germann. Then came the Anaheim band with the Queen's charlot and her escort following: In the line of parade were the Santa Ana Canton of Odd Fellows, the Anaheim Moose, the Order of Redmen in single file, the Yoemen, the Brotherhood of Protective Order of Elks, the Knights of Pythias, the Elks and the Modern Woodmen.
The committee on awards was F. C. Spencer, Mrs. Del Launders and Miss H. L. Horwitz. The Knights of Pythias lodge was awarded the first prize. Their float consisted of a beautiful temple in which was seated the king, G. W. Hamler, and a number of senators. The senators were H. A. Dickel, C. W. Hedges, Jacob Witmer, C. E. Robinson, Henry Armbrust, Vennie Wheeler, William McCann and W. E. Duckworth, H. Kealiher was headman and Frank Goodrich and A. W. Thomas heralds.
Santa Ana Canton, I. O. O. F. received the prize for the largest numbers of members in the line of march. There were 37 of them. The prize was a silver cup presented by the Swift Packing company.
For the largest percentage of members in the parade the Anaheim Moose was awarded the prize, a cup.
The oldest past officer in the line of march was Mr. Roper of Santa Ana.
The I. O. O. F. lodge received a box of stationary from Blake, Moffit & Towne, the Los Angeles paper dealers.
The Moose drum corps was awarded a cash prize by the Board of Trade.
The lodge making the best military display was the Santa Ana Canton, I. O. O. F.
The procession started at the corner of Center and Palm streets, and after encircling the principal streets of the city disbanded at the carnival grounds on Lemon street.
Stimulated by the sight of so many beautiful fplats and vehicles, but the flamenco music and multitude of machines was artistically decorated, Mrs. Del Launders being the artist. Little Miss Lounders dressed to represent a butterfly, was the principal attraction in the machine. Tim Boege got the second prize, and P. J. Weisel third.

The lodge making the best military display was the Santa Ana Canton, L. O. F.
The procession started at the corner of Center and Palm streets, and after encircling the principal streets of the city disbanded at the carnival grounds on Lemon street.
Stimulated by the sight of so many beautiful floats and vehicles, but the flowers, the music, and the multitude of people, members of the municipal government determined Friday to have a parade of their own. At four o'clock therefore, there started at the city hall a procession which wound through the principal streets for half an hour and finally disbanded at the place of starting.
"How we helped make Anaheim what it is" was the label on the foremost auto. It was the intention of the promoters to have every employee of the city take part in this affair and make it an impressive procession, but it was found impracticable to line up the entire police force, the fire department and the employees of the mullical light and water plant. The new fire engine was also absent because it had not yet arrived from the factory.
V. U. Simpson was the grand marshal and led the procession an a spirit-ed horse. The Anaheim band came next, followed by J. W. Sackett's auto bearing Mayor Cook and the city trustees. Other city employees were in line in autos and one machine driven by Henry Braden, carried representatives of the press. Many employees of the city with the machines and implements with which they labor, were in the line. After circling over the usual line of march the procession halted in front of the city hall and disbanded.
Sherman Hayden, wife and daughter, Miss Katherine, were visiting in Los Angeles Sunday.
Eshleman at a banquet a few days ago, which was attended by Insurance Commissioner Phelps and Eshleman himself, came as a distinct shock to some of the officers of the Orange County Auto Club. They thought that they saw in this announcement, made prominent by the progressive papers, a great light upon the reason for their own failure to get an authorization to do business.
Needless to say, a lot of Orange county auto owners are fighting mad. They declare that they have every right to do a legitimate business, as they have complied with all the requirements of the law, and that they will not be made the victims of the big insurance companies.
The automobile people assert that they have no special objection to paying a license tax if the money is applied to the roads; and they do not balk at the million that is extracted yearly from the motorists for this purpose, provided it is not wasted in paying the expenses of an incompetent state highway commission, sundry agents of the motor-license department and other hangers-on of the state administration. But many believe that much money is wasted on useless salaries and never gets near the roads of the state; and there is general objection to the method of rating that makes a Ford car pay $10 and many heavier cars $5.
BEET SEED
Reports of the great difficulties encountered in Europe by American and foreign agents of the beet sugar factories of this country in their efforts to secure beet seed for the next season's planting, are received daily by A. R. Peck, owner of the Anaheim Sugar company, which has headquarters in Los Angeles.
Not only have these agents taken some precarious risks in trying to get beet seed for us from Germany via Mexico manage self anew every chance that anyt This resignation to just so many y it is based on tha la will retire to p day's dispatches but uncessful att life.

neutral Holland and other routes, but they are empowered in many cases to offer fabulously large sums for seed, and yet it is nearly impossible to obtain it," asserted Mr. Peck.
The 1915 beet sugar crop of the United States, which would be worth about $60,000,000, depends upon the single condition of our agents abroad being successful in their attempts to persuade Germany and other continental countries to allow the exportation of the full amount of beet seed required to plant 520,600 acres. Not a pound of this seed is produced on our own soil, which calamity we fully realize, now that we are entirely at the mercies of other countries.
"The present necessity of our paying from $20 to $25 a bag for seed which cost us but $12 a sack last season, will mean the equivalent of paying the growers in 1915 an additional 20 cents or 25 cents more per ton for beets at the factory.
THE AVOCADA
We shall assume that the avocado has come to stay, for it is not supposeable that a delicious fruit of the highest food value, which is found to flourish over a wide range of territory in this state, will be other than increasingly and extensively planted, for aside from its economic value the tree is a highly ornamental evergreen. Some, it is true, confess to but a slight appreciation of the avocado upon first tasting it. This is due in many cases to the fact that the specimen sampled has not been in a proper state of maturity or properly served. The real enthusiasts come from the tropics, where it has been possible to gain a thorough familiarity with the fruit. But even in the case of indifference at the first trial, the liking grows with further acquaintance so that it is a fair assertion to say that practically neutral Holland and other routes, but they are empowered in many cases to offer fabulously large sums for seed, and yet it is nearly impossible to obtain it," asserted Mr. Peck.

THE COLUMBIAN GRAFT
The country is to be congratulated that the senate adjourned without ratifying the Bryan treaty to pay Columbia $25,000,000 for the "injury" alleged to have been inflicted upon her by the construction of the Panama canal. That is to say, $12,500,000 to Columbia, the other $12,500,000 to go to the syndicate of Washington lobby lawyers who act as compensated door mats on which his eminence the Chau-tauqua statesman can wipe his feet.
It is doubtful whether the administration will be able to coax or extort this $25,000,000 Colombian subsidy from Congress. The common sense and common brevity of the country is against it, and the unsubsidized newspaper press of whatever political denouncements it. We owe Colombia nothing—absolutely nothing. Her consent was in nowise necessary to enable us to dig the canal. She had lost the state of Panama from her confederacy, lost it utterly and irrevocably, and was making no effort to regain it either with arms or diplomacy, and the independence of the republic of Panama had been recognized by all the power of Europe when the from Colombia, made the purchase of the canal zone, and—still without remonstrance from Colombia—expended over $100,000,000 in canal construction before Colombia made any claim what-ever upon us.
The "injury" to Colombia of our purchase from Panama of the ten mile strip and our construction of the canal is "such stuff as dreams are made of." The canal gives to Colombia cheaper and easier access to Atlantic and European markets for the sale of rubber and coffee and other products from her Pacific states and facilitates her imports from the east to the same part of her domain.

HALLOWE'EN PARTY
One of the most unique Hallowe'en parties of the season was given on Thursday evening at the beautiful and hospitable home of John Cook, by Mrs. Cook and Mrs. W. H. Houts, although the evening was rather wet the guests to the number of 40 began to arrive at 8 o'clock and were invited to rooms beautifully decorated in yellow and black witches, black cats and pumpkins were grinning from every corner. The accustomed brewing kettle in the fireplace, where the supposed witch presided was present, and ghosts and bats were quite numerous. After the guests had all arrived the lights were turned on which made a most dazzling effect. The evening was spent in progressive whist. At twelve o'clock an elegant luncheon was served to which all did ample justice. The invited guests were Mr. and Mrs. Phillipson and Mr. and Mrs. B. F. Honata from Orange, Mrs. Brownlee of Colton, Mr. and Mrs. Martenet, Mr. and Mrs. Pierre Nicholas, Mr. and Mrs. McCann, Mr. and Mrs. Hill, Mr. and Mrs. Hedges, Mr. and Mrs. Barmls, Mr. and Mrs. W. E. Duckworth, Mr. and Mrs. Machleb, Mr. and Mrs. Bennerschedt, Mr. and Mrs. Osbourn, Mr. and Mrs. Fergus, Mr. and Mrs. Hansen, Mr. and Mrs. Sheridan, Mr. and Mrs. H. P. Noll, Mr. and Mrs. Fisher, Mr. and Mrs. Wm., Stark, Mr. and Mrs J. W.Walls, Mr. and Mrs Adams, Mrs.Hattle Kolb..
It is true, courtesy to out a single preciation of the avocado upon first tasting it. This is due in many cases to the fact that the specimen sampled has not been in a proper state of maturity or properly served. The real enthusiasts come from the tropics, where it has been possible to gain a thorough familiarity with the fruit. But even in the case of indifference at the first trial, the liking grows with further acquaintance so that it is a fair assesment to say practically everyone who has had an opportunity to do so, acquires a liking which would enable him to eat avocados with keen enjoyment the year round.
In Southern California, from Santa Barbara southward, fruiting avocado trees ranging in age from three to thirty years are to be found in quite large numbers. These afford a practical and acceptable demonstration of the adaptability of the tree to this climate and soil, and of its fruitful character. It is now a question as to whether we shall plant the avocado, it is only a question as to how rapidly the planting of good varieties may be proceeded with. This fact alone will determine the future development of the industry. As to food value, it is not stating the matter too strongly to say that it takes first rank among the wonderful and varied fruit productions of Southern California. As a boon to vegetarians it will assume a position of great importance. As a nourishing and sympathetic food for the invalid stomach it will always be in demand. As a substantial part of the morning, as a substantial meal of the working man, it needs only be placed within his reach as to price. Given for breakfast two good slices of bread and an avocado of pound weight, he can split ralls, dig holes or mix concrete for as many hours per day as the low allows. As an ornamental having as well an economic value, the avocado tree has already gained an enviable place in public favor.
NOTHING TO IT
Mexico manages to sensationalize itself anew every day without the least chance that anything will come of it. This resignation of Carranza amounts to just so many empty words because it is based on the condition that Villa will retire to private life. The same day's dispatches tell of a desperate but uncessful attempt to take Villa's life. He is not likely to retire under that kind of fire, and Curranza does it.
The "injury" to Colombia of our purchase from Panama of the ten mile strip and our construction of the canal is "such stuff as dreams are made of." The canal gives to Colombia cheaper and easier access to Atlantic and European markets for the sale of rubber and coffee and other products from her Pacific states and facilitates her imports from the east to the same part of her domain.
As for paying $25,000,000 to Colombia to gain her "good will," the price is somewhat high for the commodity in question. It is far above its market value.
In any event, with an emergency tax of $100,000,000 levied to make good the deficit in the treasury caused by democratic tariff legislation, this is no time to don the robe and beard of Santa Claus and cram the stocking of Colombia with $25,000,000, which we would probably be compelled to obtain by borrowing that amount, for the cash is not at hand at present.
A NEW CALIFORNIA PRODUCT
Several weeks ago, when the sugar-beet growers of Southern California raised a complaint about the scarcity of beet seed, which we have been getting from Europe and which is now cut off by the war, attention was called to the possibility of growing sugar cane in the Imperial Valley and other points in California. While the reflection was being written, enterprisinh pioneers in that wonderful valley were already experimenting. Go to the Chamber of Commerce on Broadway between First and Second streets in Los Angeles, and there may be seen the concrete results of the experiment.
There is a sheaf of seven canes, and they average more than six feet in height, and are topped by a blade of about equal length. The stems are about six inches thick, and altogether they show the possibility of a new and important industry in the Imperial Valley.

OPERATION FOR HIS REFORMATION
Bert Honey of Orange, has Inclination ... To Steal Taken From Him
Bert Honey, son of Mr. and Mrs F.W.Honey of Orange, has recently undergone an unique operation in San Diego, in which a thickened portion of the skull was removed to lift the pressure from the brain.
A letter from the young man's mother enclosing a clipping from the San Diego Tribune, states that he is 27 years old; that he attended school at Orange and El Modena, and worked at the plumbing trade here. It states that his father has mortgaged his home to give the boy needed medical treatment, and says that he is recovering rapidly from the operation.
The clipping enclosed reads as follows:
A surgical operation was performed yesterday on the skull of Bert Honey, a young man charged with burglary and grand larceny in connection with the looting of anumber of launches and machine shops around the water front in the past few months. Plunder to the value of several thousand dollars was recevored, and Honey pleaded guilty to the charge when he was arraigned before Superior Judge T.L.Lawis on the charge.
His attorney, Young C.Burkhart, then made an application for the release of the accused man on probation in order that he might submit to the surgical operation, it being claimed that Honey's criminal tendencies (he having served a term on similar charges) were due to pressure upon the brain due to a fracture of the

The same day's dispatches tell of a desperate but uncessful attempt to take Villa's life. He is not likely to retire under that kind of fire, and Curranza does not really expect him to. He is merely resigning to show that it would be impossible for him to do so. Each leader accuses the other of being surrounded by designing and ambitious persons. Perhaps both are correct and poor Mexico has not much chance left while the big fellows on both sides of the fight stand for personalities before they stand for their country. It is about time for President Wilson to appoint a fresh representative to secure the inside facts in Mexico in order that the president may do something about them.

Racing to give a comrade a better chance for life and limb, an engineer Tuesday morning drove an engine from Santa Ana to Los Angeles at a rate of eighty miles an hour. Charles R. Strain of Los Angeles, a Santa Fe conductor, is the man for whose sake the run was made.
While making a coupling at Orange Strain caught his leg in such a way that the calf was torn off. Dr. Royer of Orange took him to Santa Ana, instructions were received to take the injured man to the Santa Fe hospital in Los Angeles.
An engine and tender were uncoupled from a train and at 6:30 o'clock they tore out of the yards for Los Angeles. With a clear track ahead, the engineer sent the big engine along at a speed of eighty miles an hour.
At the hospital it was reported that Strain not only will live, but that he has a fair chance of saving his leg.

Burkhart, then made an application for the release of the accused man on probation in order that he might submit to the surgical operation, it being claimed that Honey's criminal tendencies (he having served a term on similar charges) were due to pressure upon the brain due to a fracture of the skull sustained when Honey was a small boy.
Judge Lewis granted the petition for probation last Friday, and the surgical operation was performed yesterday by Dr. D. D. Whedon at a local hospital. The physician stated that, at the point where the fracture occurred and where there was a decided depression in the skull, there was found to be a pressure on the brain by a portion of the skull that had become thickened. This formation was removed and the tre-paning operation is declared to have been successful, the patient being in a satisfactory condition.
It will take some weeks for the patient to entirely recover from the shock of the delicate cranial operation. It is confidently believed Honey' relatives and physician that when he recovers from the operation he will be restored to a normal condition mentally, and not be subject to any more criminal tendencies.
Doulas and Hugh Keech, sons of Attorney E. E. Keech of Santa Ana were badly injured in Los Angeles when their motorcycle was struck by a Ford automobile. Douglas had a leg broken in two places. Hugh was unconscious for ten minutes.
Miss Roy Meyers and little daughter, Leroyee Wipperman, are visiting with Mrs. Meyera parents. Mr. and Mrs. A. Wippermann.

John B. Meyenberg, Originator of Condensed Milk, Passes Away.
John B. Meyenberg, a former resident of this section, the originator of condensed milk, is dead. The San Jose Mercury Herald gives the following account of his death:

John B. Meyenberg, originator of condensed milk, passes away.
John B. Meyenberg, a former resident of this section, the originator of condensed milk, is dead. The San Jose Mercury Herald gives the following account of his death:
The death of John B. Meyenberg, husband of the late Josephine Meyenberg, at 9:40 p.m. Tuesday, in the city of San Jose, will be the occasion of sorrow to a great number. Children, relatives, business associates and friends, are deeply moved through the love that this keen and kindly old gentleman so easily won, and humanity sorrows for a great benefactor. John B. Meyenberg was the originator of the idea of preserving milk solely by means of heat.
Mr. Meyenberg was a German Swiss, born at Zug, Switzerland, November 1847. As a young man he was employed in the large condensed milk plants at Cham, Switzerland, and later in charge of the processing and packing of sweetened milk at the Anglo-Swiss Condensed milk company's factory of the same city.
A deep thinker, necessarily a thorough chemist, with an inventive turn of mind as well, he experimented in evaporation and sterilization of milk during the years 1880 to 1883. At the completion of these experiments, he decided it was possible to preserve milk without the aid of sugar. However, he was unable to convert his staid countrymen to his new ideas, and therefore resigned his position and sailed for America, applying for a patent, which was granted him by the United States patent office in Washington, D.C., 1883.
Evaporated milk was first packed in this country on a successful basis by John B. Meyenberg on June 15, 1885, in the Helvetia Milk Condensing company's plant at Highland, Ill. Other evaporated milk plants were successfully operated later under Mr. Meyenberg's direction at Monroe, Wis., at Elgin, Ill., at Buena Park, Ca., at Hollister, Cal., and in Gonzales, Cal., of which Mr. Meyenberg's two oldest sons John P. and Walter J. are in charge.
Mr. Meyenberg retired from active business services about three and a half years ago, locating at San Jose. In this city, as elsewhere, Mr. Meyenberg is known for his hard work and dedication to his craft.
It is the principle of international law that all contracts between the subjects of belligerent governments are valid. But contracts made before the breaking out of the war are not, as a rule, extinguished, but the remedies thereon are suspended until the close of the war, owing to the nobility of an alien enemy to sue or be sued. Those contracts, however, which are of such a character that their performance will necessitate the continuance of commercial intercourse during the war, such as partnership contracts, are extinguished.
Money due by a Berlin merchant to a London merchant is regarded as enemy property by the German government, and it may force the Berliner to pay in into the German treasury. Equally, money due from a London merchant to a Berlin merchant may be seized by the British government.
As there was, prior to the breaking out of hostilities, a large trade between German and British merchants, and large credit balances on both sides, it is probable that both governments have profited largely by the opportunity to seize the cash belonging to the subjects of the enemy.
Yet to the mind untrained in the windings of international law it would seem that this doctrine of the rightful seizure of private property as enemy property was largely tinctured with larceny.
Experts of the Federal Forest Service and the bureau of soils have gone to the Santa Ana watershed in the San Bernardina mountains, where they will make the final survey of the forest in the reclassification work which began two years ago. With the completion of the classification of the Santa Ana watershed and surrounding country, the Angels National Forest will stand out as the first reserve in the United States with its total area segregated in pursuance of the new policy of the government to dedicate its lands to the most beneficial purposes, whatever they may be. The water shed itself comprises about 200-000 acres, this being a portion of the 800,000-acre area yet remaining for reclassification in this forest. This

The city of Newport Beach is preparing to spend $100,000 for the construction of one jetty that will make it possible for vessels drawing eighteen feet of water to enter Newport harbor, and the plan of harbor development as now outlined by the war department of the United States provides for the accommodation of vessels drawing 24 feet of water. This means the construction of a second jetty, and that outside of the city limits of Newport Beach, so that further development than the 18-foot channel passes to the people of Orange county, who will have the opportunity of developing a harbor second to none, and will give that county ownership, of water frontage and control of wharf and dock rates.

completion of the classification of the Santa Ana watershed and surrounding country, the Angels National Forest will stand out as the first reserve in the United States with its total area segregated in pursuance of the new policy of the government to dedicate its lands to the most beneficial purposes, whatever they may be. The water shed itself comprises about 200,000 acres, this being a portion of the 800,000-acre area yet remaining for reclassification in this forest. This work will result in many thousand acres of good agricultural lands being thrown open to public entry. If the land is considered better for agricultural purposes than for the cultivation of timber it will be thrown open to entry regardless of its value.
Manager Bilger of the Fairland has disposed of his business to C. L. Head of Ontario, who now has possession. The Fairland under Mr. Bilger's management, has acquired a reputation for putting on good shows, and Mr. Head promises to continue the same service and give his patrons the worth of their money. He states that he has an extra good bill on for the balance of this week.
Figures compiled by the census bureau show that the total value of the farm property in Orange county is $64,357,852, and the total value of crops $6,176,237. The county ranks thirteenth among the counties of the United States in value of farm property. Five other California counties are in the first fourteen counties of America, while Illinois has 5 and Pennsylvania, Washington and Maine one each.
