VOLUME XXXXV BOARD OF TRADE FIGURING UP PROFITS WILL HAVE NEAT SUM IN TREASURY FOR PURPOSES OF ADVERTISING ANAHEIM FACTORIES AND INDUSTRIES IN THE EAST LOOKING HITHER-WARD FOR A LOCATION Figures telling the actual profit to the board of trade from the four days' carnival are not yet complete, and the committee in charge of the finances was not able to make a report Monday night. It is understood there will be a neat sum left after paying all the expenses, and this will be used for the purpose of advertising Anaheim. One of the first moves in this direction will be the publication in pamphlet form of G. W. Sandiland's article on "The Frostless Belt." This was written by Mr. Sandilands at the request of the board of trade and was first read at a banquet. It will be a valuable addition to the book. penses exactly the same consequently the committee broke even. A vote of thanks was extended the ladies of the Eastern Star for the manner in which they prepared and conducted the banquet. Also to Schmidt & Knirach who furnished the excellent music and rendered no bill. The Ebell society solicited a donation to purchase something advertising the board of trade at the session of the Federation of Woman's clubs at Santa Ana this week. The advertising committee was instructed to confer with Mrs. Harry Dyer, president of the county federation and make such appropriation as she might suggest. BOY INJURED IN A COLLISION Runs Into Max Nebelung's Buggy and Gets 'a Severe Bump Little Jimmie Beard, aged 8 years, collided with a buggy driven by Max Nebelung Friday afternoon on West Center street, and got the worst of the encounter. Mr. Nebelung was driving up the street, and in the middle of the block, between Los Angeles and Lemon, he noticed the boy coming diagonally across from the opposite side on a bicycle.

This float was designed by F. R. Gresswell, and was a thing of beauty. The bottom of the float had a large panel on two sides showing Anaheim when still a desert, with cactus in the foreground, the hills showing in the distance and a prairie schooner in the perspective, illustrating the early pioneers looking over the ground—and picking out the present site of the Mother Colony. On the bottom of the panel was inscribed, "The Desert Shall Rejoice and Blossom as the Rose." Above the panel came the platform of the float, on which was arranged a grape arbor hung with 90 pounds of grapes, under which were seated five little German girls, representing Anaheim and the early history of the colony. Above the arbor there was shown the present period of Anaheim, the 10 boxes of oranges artistically arranged and the 4 orange trees bearing fruit and the plow on top was symbolical of the weapon with which the pioneers brought all this about. The materials and decorations were donated to the committee by Miss V. Babington, G. W. Sandilands, J. Barcot and the Pacific Implement company. A vote of thanks was extended to these donors and to Mr. Gresswell by the board. A communication was received from R. A. Smith of Omaha, colonization agent of the Union Pacific. Mr. Smith stated that he received numerous letters relative to this region and he wanted to know what advantages or inducements Anaheim would offer to settlers or factories. He wanted facts and figures so he could tell his correspondents how and why they would be benefited by coming to Anaheim. The letter was referred to the Little Jimmie Beard, aged 8 years, collided with a buggy driven by Max Nebelung Friday afternoon on West Center street, and got the worm of the encounter. Mr. Nebelung was driving up the street, and in the middle of the block, between Los Angeles and Lemon, he noticed the boy coming diagonally across from the opposite side on a bicycle. The boy was looking at something behind him and paying no heed to what was before him. Seeing that a collision was imminent Mr. Nebelung, yelled at Jimmie and pulled up his horse, but it was too late. He crashed into the vehicle, the front wheel striking him and knocking him down. The boy was picked up unconscious and carried into Heying's drug store and a physician summoned. A severe contusion on his head was the only injury of consequence found. He remained unconscious for some hours and was finally taken to his home, the bicycle shop of W. M. Deuch, his stepfather, on West Center street. His injury is not considered serious. SHOOTING QUAIL ON THE DESERT Local Suortamen Have Enjoyable Outing Near Salton Sea David Hamler, Leon Porter and Cal Neff returned on Friday noon from a hunting trip to Mecca and other points on the desert. They left here Tuesday morning after voting and drove 140 miles by nightfall. They saw many ducks and geese at the Salton sea, but found it difficult to get a shot at them. They succeeded in getting bag limits of quail and rabbits, and report a very pleasant outing. They visited the government's date ranch near Mecca and were given samples of the fruit, which they pronounce most excellent. They found going on the desert rather hard work, and in some places made only two miles an hour. Some of the trees at the date ranch are twelve years old, and have attained a height of 20 feet. They are heavily laden with dates, which are large and luscious and are said to be superior to those raised in Persia. A number of farmers near Mecca are engaged in date growing, and are making a success of the business.

Mr. Smith stated that he received numerous letters relative to this region and he wanted to know what advantages or inducements Anaheim would offer to settlers or factories. He wanted facts and figures so he could tell his correspondents how and why they would be benefited by coming to Anaheim. The letter was referred to the chairman of the manufacturing committee who will undertake to give Mr. Smith all the necessary information, and show him, without leaving a loophole for argument, the advantage of locating in Anaheim. F. Webber Brunton, who is engaged in compiling a book entitled "Semi-Tropic California," wants to come to Anaheim and gather materials for a chapter. The advertising committee took charge of the matter and will confer with him. A promoting concern in a far eastern city announced that several valuable concerns were looking in this direction for locations. One of them is a pump factory. This also will be looked after by the advertising committee. A plea for food to relieve the starving women and children of Belgium was laid over as the members did not feel like appropriating money for that purpose until there was a larger attendance. The committee in charge of the Pasadena Tournament of Roses asked the board to enter a float in their procession on the first of January. Twenty-five cities have already signified their intention of entering. This was referred to the Associated Chambers of Orange county. A year ago that body with its maminoth orange captured one of the prizes. J. F.

The five sugar factories of Orange county are closing their campaigns and it will not be long before the field men are out among the ranchers getting contracts for next season's planting. The sugar beet crop is the county's greatest crop. For it the farmers get $750,000 annually and from it sugar worth double that amount is manufactured. J. W. Sackett leaves shortly for a business visit to Park City, Mont. He will be absent several weeks.

AHEIM GAZETE ANAHEIM CALIFORNIA, THURSDAY, NOVEMBER 12, 1914 STREETWIDENING AGAIN ON BOARDS WEST CENTER STREET PROPERTY OWNER'S TALK OF SETTING BACK SOUTH-SIDE BUILDINGS SEVERAL SPLENDID NEW STRUCTURES MAY BE ERECTED IN THE COMING YEAR Should the improvements now contemplated by property owners on West Center street materialize within a year there will be such a transformation in the block between Lemon and Los Angeles streets that it will not be recognized as the same place. Discussion of the question of widening this thoroughfare to make it conform to the width of East Center street, began more than two years ago, and it met with such favor that it was believed there would be little difficulty in carrying the project through on both sides of the street. Then came agitation of the prohibition proposition, and the possibility that California would go dry paralysis. KNIGHTS OF COLUMBUS ENTERTAIN VISITORS Boosters Club of Los Angeles Council Given Royal Welcome Elaborate preparations were made to entertain the Booster Club of the Los Angeles council Monday evening, which consisted of eighteen members, including State Deputy, Hon. Paul J. McCormack, Judge of the superior court, Los Angeles, Dr. Cotter, a prominent physician of the metropolis, and others of equal importance. Upon their arrival in Anaheim they were escorted by the members of Anaheim Council to the Smith Cafe, where the following very fine banquet was served. Oyster Cocktail Olives Soup Combination Salad Fish and Baked Potatoes Ices Cream Mashed Potatoes, French Peas Ice Cream and Cake Coffee Cigars Following the banquet the members and visitors adjourned to the K. of C. Club room, where an open meeting was held for the Knights and their friends and ladies, and where the assemblage was favored with very eloquent speaking by the Judge and others. MANY PRECINCTS HAVE NOT YET REPORTED UNOFFICIAL FIGURES AND ESTIMATES INDICATE JOHNSON ELECTED BY 140,000 MAJORITY ORANGE COUNTY ELECTORS APPEARED TO HAVE VOTED ON A HIT OR MISS SYSTEM In a total vote which will probably reach 850,000 in California on November 3rd the counts shows that Hiram Johnson has been elected governor by a plurality of 140,000. James D. Pholan, democrat has defended Joseph R. Knowland for United States senator by probably 25,000 votes, and William Kettner has been returned to Congress in the Eleventh district by a heavy majority over James C. Needham. Full returns are slow in getting in but it is apparent that statewide prohibition is defeated by at least 40,000 majority. Amendment 47, providing for eight years of relief from prohibition if one or more states do not recognize it as law. Los Angeles streets that it will not be recognized as the same place. Discussion of the question of widening this thoroughfare to make it conform to the width of East Center street, began more than two years ago, and it met with such favor that it was believed there would be little difficulty in carrying the project through on both sides of the street. Then came agitation of the prohibition proposition, and the possibility that California would go dry paralyzed the scheme so far as the south side of the street was concerned. Some of the largest reality holders in the block, who had previously agreed to set back their buildings, backed into the breeching and refused to take another step. In fact, some of them declared their property was for sale in the event of California going dry. However, the result of the election has revived interest in the matter and there is now an excellent possibility that the south side will run an equal race with the north side in the matter of improvements. A meeting of property owners was held Friday night and the first steps toward re-opening the matter were taken. Those who had blocked the efforts of the promoter a year or more ago lifted the embargo and now favor the scheme. If all the buildings contemplated or mentioned as possibilities in that section of the city are added to those already a certainty, the next year will see the greatest building activity ever known in Anaheim. B. Hartfield on Saturday let the contract for his two-room business block adjoining the Dreyfus building. One room will be added to the congested quarters of the S. Q. R. store and the other will be occupied by himself. It is reported that John Cassou, who owns a frontage of 97 feet in that block, has consented to the widening movement, and contemplates the erection of a new building on his lots. John Ziegler, proprietor of the Commercial hotel, who is one of the foremost advocates of civic betterment, and believes his corner of the city should keep pace with the balance, has also agreed to move back eight feet and there is a possibility that a splendid new building will be erected on his property at the corner of Lemon and Center. On the opposite side of the street the Yungbluth block on the Lemon street corner is in course of construction, the Matthews building, formerly Combination Salad Fish and Baked Potatoes Ice Cream Mashed Potatoes, French Peas Ice Cream and Cake Coffee Cligars Following the banquet the members and visitors adjourned to the K. of C.

The evening's entertainment was concluded with dancing, which was enjoyed by all. HUNTINGTON BEACH DEFEATS LOGALS Basket Ball Team From Seashore too Heavy for Anaheim Boys It was a creditable showing in Anaheim high school made in its parade through the streets Friday noon advertising the basket ball game between Anaheim and Huntington Beach. Something like a dozen gaily decorated autos were in line. The procession was headed by an auto carrying members of the faculty. Then came the students of the school, boys marching in single file, the girls riding in autos. Both boys and girls brought their voices with them, and the way they made the welkin ring with class yells and home-made songs was a caution. The burden of the song of the young ladies was, "you can't beat Anaheim," but it appeared later they were mistaken. Down on the ball grounds in the afternoon the Huntington Beach boys took the conceit out of them to the tune of 30 to 11. The Anaheim boys fought desperately, but it appeared to be an off-day and Huntington Beach went home with their scalps. The Anaheim team is composed of Clarke Chamberlain, Coe Willman, Clevenger Megode, Morris Martenet, Harold Douglas and Frank Schacht. THREE OFFENDERS GO TO JAIL Judge Howard Does Good Business In Court Tuesday Morning Three Mexicans will be good for some days to come as a result of the plurality of 140,000. James D. Pholan, democrat has defended Joseph R. Knowland for United States senator by probably 25,000 votes, and William Kettner has been returned to Congress in the Eleventh district by a heavy majority over James C. Needham. Full returns are slow in getting in but it is apparent that state-wide prohibition is defeated by at least 40,000 majority. Amendment 47, providing for eight years of relief from prohibition agitation is snowed under, the majority against it being 50,000. The one day rest in seven is also lost by an equal majority. The eight-hour law is defeated by more than 200,000 majority. Prize rights are abolished, poll tax is abolished, and on latest returns it looks like the people have prohibited the sale of game by a small majority. In this county some of the vagaries of the vote are shown. Johnson, progressive, for governor, carried the county by more than 100 votes, Knowland for United States Senator, a republican, had 230 votes to the good, Kettner, democrat, beat Needham for congress by nearly 800, and the prohibition vote, had it not been divided by internal war, would have defeated J. C. Burke for assemblyman by 800. As it is Joe pulled through with a comfortable plurality of nearly 1200, and will represent this county at Sacramento. The prohibition amendment in the county carried by 4400, but the eight-hour law lost by neary 9000. The total vote in the county was upward of 17,000. Following are the unofficial figures: Governor—J. B. Curtin (Dem.) 2172; J. D. Fredericks (Rep.) 6156; H. W. Johnson (Prog.) 7198; C. P. Moore (Prog.) 1097; N. A. Richardson (Soc) 826.

Orange that On the opposite side of the street the Yungbluth block on the Lemon street corner is in course of construction, the Matthews building, formerly the German American bank building, is nearing completion, and material is being hauled in for the splendid three-story Fisher block on the ground formerly occupied by the livery stable. These buildings are all being set back to give eight feet more sidewalk room, and the property owners are building the additional sidewalks themselves. At the beginning of this move it was figured that it would require two years to abave off all the buildings, but it is now anticipated that the work will be completed in much less time. The enterprising business men of that section realize the necessity for a wider sidewalk, if they are to keep pace with the march of progress and the increasing population. On Saturday nights the sidewalks are so congested it is difficult to get through. On Hallowe'en hundreds of pedestrians walked around a block rather than attempt to fight their way through the throng that for hours overflowed the walks and took chances with the constant streams of autos and other vehicles. W. A. Frank and Charley Brandenberg were at Elsinore Sunday hunting quall. They say they bagged as many as the law permits. H. J. Vail of Passadena a former well-known newspaper man of Santa Ana, was in town on Sunday meeting with old friends. Raymond Elliott had his left leg broken just above the ankle in a football game at Claremont Saturday. He was playing half back for Pomona college in a game with Whittier when the accident occurred. He is one of the chief athletes of the college, but will be out of commission for some time to come. The Anaheim team is composed of Clarke Chamberlain, Coe Willman, Clevenger Megode, Morris Martenet, Harold Douglas and Frank Schacht. THREE OFFENDERS GO TO JAIL Judge Howard Does Good Business In Court Tuesday Morning Three Mexicans will be good for some days to come as a result of the sentences handed out by Judge Howard Tuesday morning. Jesus Aroilla was charged with disturbing the peace. He was also drunk and disorderly when arrested. The court assessed him $15 with a supplementary provision that he could spend 16 days in jail and save the money. Julio Rodriguez, who tapped a fellow Mexican on the head with a beer bottle down on Lemon street a few nights ago, after he had absorbed the contents of the bottle, was given 30 days in the county jail. Andres Costillo was given 90 days in jail. He let his temper get the better of him and smashed a West Center street window with his fist. He will have three months to meditate on the hard lives meted out to transgressors of the law. A most remarkable occurrence shows up in San Juan township in a tie between Combs and Goodwin for constable. In the primaries those two men tied 91 and 91. Their names went on the ballot for the last election, and again they tied, this time 141 to 141. Attorney-General—J. H. Blanchard (Proh.) 3167; W. R. Dunn (Soc.) 1232; U. S.

The unofficial returns show John Cambs 141; T. Goodwin, 141. The canvass made no change. The tie still exists. In the primaries it was 91 to 91. The canvass shows that three justices of the peace of the county were defeated for re-election, W. T. Calla-way defeated D. W. Hasson in Buena Park township; A. Philbrick defeated Roy G. Parker in Los Alamitos township, and C. W. Warner defeated J. W. Shirley in Huntington Beach township. One of the mysteries of the returns is why voters should pose as republicans before the public and change their political coats after getting into the booth. The registration showed a republican majority of more than 5000, and the vote gave the progressive candidate for governor a plurality of 1042. Under No. 47 the vote on No. 2 would establish wether or not a territory is wet or dry. There are three subdivisions under No. 47, an incorporated city, entire supervisoral district in which there is no city incorporated and portion of supervisoral district outside of incorporated city. If one of these subdivisions voted wet on No. 2 it becomes wet territory under No. 47.

The machinery is still running as there is yet considerable refining to do, but the product of the fields is all in and most of the 200 employees have finished their work for the season.

If one of these subdivisions voted wet on No. 2 it becomes wet territory under No. 47. In Orange county every incorporated city, except Anaheim and Newport Beach, gave a majority dry vote Every supervisorial district outside of incorporated cities in Orange county, voted dry. In fact, but few precincts of the county, outside of Anaheim and Newport Beach, gave a wet majority. Brea, Bay City, Delhi, San Juan, San Joaquin, El Toro and Trabuco voted against California dry. Several of those precincts are in the fifth supervisorial district, but Tustin with a vote of 438 dry to 143 wet puts the district far beyond the possibility of being wet. A FREAK STORM That was a freak storm that passed over Orange county Tuesday morning. At Anaheim only .15 of an inch of water fell. Within an hour an inch and a half of water fell at Santa Ana. At Garden Grove, which seems to have been the center of the heaviest rainfall, two inches of moisture came down. With .37 inches in Sunday night's rain, the season's total there is now 3.20 inches. At the Irvine ranch house, six miles east of Santa Ana, and at Myford, seven miles southeast, but .20 inches fell. Orange got 1.12 during the night, making 2.62 for the season. The storm was accompanied by lightning and thunder. Two high-tension wires at the Pacific Electric substation were broken, and the electricity spurting from the live engs lighted the clouded sky, making the storm all the more spectacular. The damage done by the storm was slight. Rains at this time, unless they bring heavy flood, will be of benefit to the farmers. The total fall in Anaheim for the season is .48. COUNTY'S CHIEF PRODUCT Orange county has seven products that each year bring in over $1,000. The big plant had finished slicing its beets and the campaign of 1914 was ended. The machinery is still running as there is yet considerable refining to do, but the product of the fields is all in and most of the 200 employees have finished their work for the season. This has been the most prosperous year in the history of the factory owing partially to the excellent quality of the beets sliced and partially to the advanced prices superinduced by the European war. Speaking of the season just closed, A.R Peck, president of the company said: "The 1914 campaign as far as the operation of our mill is concerned has been the most satisfactory one we have ever had. This can be attributed to various causes, such as an improvement in the quality of the beets and the organization of the employees under Superintendent Jessurun. "We have cut 65,223 tons of beets and made 180,000 bags of sugar and 111,220 bags of molasses beet pulp." In the beginning we contracted about 8500 acres of land and harvested approximately 7000 acres, having lost some acreage through floods of last spring. The average sugar content in the beets cut at the factory this year was 18.64, which shows quite an improvement over 1913, notwithstanding the fact that the farmers received 75 cents per ton less for beets this year, the actual difference was only about 35 cents per ton, which was considerably more than made up by the increased tonnage per acre. "As for the selling price of sugar, up to date we have not disposed of one-half of our production, therefore this item is problematical." We have on hold at the present time as much beet seed for our next years work as we used during the present season, some of which we have obtained at rather high prices; however, the price to the farmers for next year's planting will be the same as heretofore. In addition to what we now have, we expect 1000 bags from Germany, and we believe the farmers are well enough pleased this year to give us additional acreage for next year's planting."

Orange county has seven products that each year bring in over $1,000,000 each and an aggregate of $25,000,000. This statement was made by D. W. McDannald to the Board of Supervisors. McDannald is the county's lecturer at the Los Angeles Chamber of Commerce, and the purpose of his visit to the Supervisors was to secure an appropriation to make a special exhibit at the Los Angeles Chamber of Commerce of the seven principal products. Those seven money-getters are oil sugar beets, refined sugar, oranges, walnuts, beans and poultry. The greatest of these, in point of dollars, is oil. McDannald stated that this year's output of the county's oil fields is valued at $11,000,000, an increase of $3,000,000 over the year previous. In point of widespread benefits in this county sugar beets, beans, oranges, walnuts and poultry should rank first. Those products are the ones that bring coin directly to the farmers. McDannald secured an order from the board to make the exhibit, and the county will foot the bill. Mr. and Mrs. J. E. Baker and Mr. and Mrs. J. F. Frazer went down to Long Beach Sunday and spent the day on the sands. Mr. Baker says the storm which struck this city after midnight Sunday could be seen approaching from the ocean when they started for home. It was too far away to hear the thunder but the lightning flashes could be seen. The five factories in Orange county have all finished their work for the season or will complete it this week. Owing to the propitious weather this has been the most profitable season ever enjoyed by these great industries, the crop not only being heavier but the sugar content being higher than usual. The price too, was good, the cutting off of the European imports having saved the plants from the evil effects of the low tariff rates. The field lieutenants will get to work immediately signing up acreage for next season's crop, and owing to the profitable year just closed it is not anticipated any difficulty will be experienced in getting all the beets the plants can handle: Nearly 100,000 000 pounds of sugar was made in Orange county this season and the coming season will probably see that figure surpassed. REDLANDS COMES IN The city of Redlands, by action of its trustees, has just voted to co-operate with the Water Conservation Association, (which up to this time has been an organization of Riverside and Orange county water users), and has voted the sum of $300 as a subscription toward the work of increasing the system of the association. Work is now progressing satisfactorily on the enlargement of the intakes, the widening and deepening of the contour ditches, so that a much larger amount of storm water will be conserved and turned into the underground channels to maintain and increase the amount of water in the San Bernardino Artesian basin during the season of 1914-15 than ever before.
