THE SURPLUS HIGHWAY FUND Disposition of the surplus fund of $246,710 out of the $1,270,000 bond issue which the highway commission finds on its hands is a question now under consideration by that body and is attracting much interest throughout the county. Chief Engineer Finloy's table of expenditures shows that the third supervisor district has been unjustly treated in the distribution of the $1,044,171.18 appropriated for the 107 miles of roads already built or under contract. Measured by the assessed valuation it has received only 16.22 per cent of the 25 due it under an equitable distribution. The other three districts in which the fund was expended each having received a higher percentage. Commissioner McFadden is advocating the expenditure of $115,000 of this surplus on three important stretches of highway in the third district, not only because of the heavy travel over them but because of the fact that this district has not received its just proportion of the fund. Commissioner Pixley wants the canyon road paved from Olive to Riverside county first, notwithstanding the fourth district in which it lies, has already received a larger percentage of the moneys than we have. An Orange paper, commenting on the war revenue tax began to figure in marked fashion in government revenues during December for the first time. Customs receipts fell off during that month nearly $7,000,000 compared with December, 1913, but ordinary internal revenue increased for the same period nearly $5,000,000. How much of that came from the emergency tax is not shown in the Treasury statement, but probably it was a large part. Total receipts for December amounted to $51,429,362 compared with $54,282,256 in 1913. Ordinary disbursements amounted to $56,994,982. The net balance in the general fund at the beginning of 1914, was $56,770,-675 and the total cash assets in the Treasury were $1,964,318,693. ANAHEIM GIRL MARRIES L. A. MAN Miss Zella Hollingworth Becomes Bride of William Cosgrove On Thursday, December 31, the last day of the old year, Miss Zella Hollingworth, eldest daughter of Mr. and Mrs. T. H. Hollingworth, was married to William Cosgrove of Los Angeles. Because of the recent death of Mr. Hollingworth's father at Portland, Oregon, the wedding was not solemnized at the home of the bride, the young couple going to Los Angeles and being quietly married there. The bride has grown to womanhood in this city and is popular among a wide circle of acquaintances. Mr. Cosgrove resides in Los Angeles. He is connected with the M. M. Cobb packing company and for a number of years has been engaged at the company's house at Fullerton. He has numerous friends in that town as well as in Anaheim. He is a business man, well known throughout this region. Mr. and Mrs. Cosgrove will make their home in Los Angeles for the present, and they have the best wishes of many. Local G. M.

The last Star will have care and serve the eat An interesting prepaid with severa An Orange paper, commenting on the subject and seconding Mr. Pixley in his contention, states that the heavy assessment in the third district is due partly to the oil industry. It is true that the wells have added greatly to the wealth of the northern end of the county, but the oil business is only in its infancy and will develop within a few years to such an extent that this district will eventually pay a much larger proportion of the county's taxes. But neither Mr. McFadden nor the people of this district are asking that money be appropriated for the purpose of building a highway to the oil wells. The roads mentioned are in heavily travelled sections and are of more importance than the canyon road which Mr. Pixley seeks to have paved first. It is declared that Mr. Pixley is desirous of giving the county at large the benefit of this fund and is indifferent with regard to the district in which it is spent. If this is true he certainly should give his consent to paving the three short sections in this district which the commissioners know are of vastly more importance to travelers throughout the county than the canyon road. The increase in assessed valuation in this district is not altogether owing to developments in the oil territory, for this city and Fullerton show notable increase in their valuation during the past year. The town of Placentia, now one of the thriving centers of population of the county, was three years ago an orange plantation, and the town of Brea was four years ago not even dreamed of. While the oil business shows a large part of the district's assessment we believe the industry is in its infancy and that within the next year or two the assessed valuation will show a great increase. However, whether oil property or otherwise, this section pays taxes on a large amount of assessed valuation, and as it has thousands of men in its employment is entitled to some consideration in the disbursement of road moneys. UNFAIR CRITICISM American manufactures are being criticised by the Wilson administration organs for their slowness of taking advantages of the trade opportunities created by the European war. Is such criticism fair? Why should an American manufacturer be asked to invest large sums in new enterprises to supply a home market which his government refuses to protect and which will again be at the mercy of cheap foreign labor as soon as the war is over? The greatest opportunity that will ever come to this country, in all probability, for the development of its home market is here. The war cuts off foreign competition and gives us a practical monopoly. But there is one essential lack—a protective tariff which will insure the permanency of this new home market and guarantee investors against the kind of foreign competition which in the first few months of the Underwood tariff has cost the people of this country hundreds of millions of dollars. FIRST CELERY SHIPMENT VIA PANAMA The first shipment of celery from this coast to New York by way of the Panama Canal was sent out December 22, six carloads of that vegetable leaving Antioch on the Santa Fe for San Francisco, in which city is was transferred to one of the American-Hawaiian Steamship company's vessels, and left immediately for the eastern city. This is an exceptionally important piece of news in shipping circles and a great deal of interest is being manifested by growers as well as those engaged in handling celery or similar products, all being anxious to learn in what condition the shipment arrives at its destination. In this city and is popular among a wide circle of acquaintances. Mr. Cosgrove resides in Los Angeles. He is connected with the M.M.Cobb packing company and for a number of years has been engaged at the company's house at Fullerton. He has numerous friends in that town as well as in Anaheim. He is a business man, well known throughout this region. Mr. and Mrs. Cosgrove will make their home in Los Angeles for the present, and they have the best wishes of many Orange county friends.

As the third district contains 40 per cent of the county's assessed valuation we submit that we are entitled to a little better consideration at the hands of the supervisors and the highway commission. Contracts are being signed by the Amalgamated Sugar Company for sugar beet crops of 1915 and the corporation has announced that it would accept tonnage to its entire capacity, about 25 per cent more than handled during 1914. The output of this company in 1914, with its four factories located at Logan, Ogden and Lewiston, Utah, and Burloy, Idaho, was 80,000,000 pounds, an increase of 25 per cent over 1913. Conditions of the sugar market as a result of the European war, with the belief that the war will continue through the growing season of 1915 and further curtail the output of Germany and Austria, are given as the reasons for the decision. The Utah-Idaho Sugar company's 1914 production was 153,000,000 pounds, a gain of 37,000,000 over 1913. YE OLD TIME PICNIC A party consisting of E.

The hostess had prepared programs the cover of which bore a little pink kewpie in some grotesque pose and in gold letters was written "The Coming 1915." The dances were named for the guests. At midnight, and after the New Year had been noisily ushered in, all were invited into the library, where a large table was spread with good things for the occasion.

William Gerdes has brought suit for $500 damages against the city of Anaheim and the L. A. Paving Co. The complaint, filed in Superior Court by Tipton & Callor, states that in March, 1911, Gerdes set out a cypress hedge as a wind break for his orange orchard, the trees being placed on his own property two feet from the line. The city let a paving contract to the L. A. Paving company, in 1913, and 23 trees were ruined and 15 others were damaged. It is alleged that the windbreak is so set back that Gerdes has suffered $500 damages. Report is current that a substantial brick business block will shortly be erected by the Carroll brothers on Los Angeles street on the property north of the alley between Center and Chartres. The ground is now covered by a wooden building, occupied by Joe Lautenback with his Electric shoe store, and the Martens blacksmith shop.

THE COUNTY HOSPITAL Monday County Physician John Wehrly made his annual report of county work to the board of supervisors. That report follows: Bunting, Abbey, Lewis and Riley. and Messrs Bartlett, Miller, Royer, Tipton, Cadman, Bduden, Lowls, McNamee, Atkinson, Lovering, Ford, Burke and Abbey. SWATTING THE JITNEYS An automobile stage driver is authority for the statement if Santa Ana requires each rental auto stage to put up a $10,000 bond; practically all of the auto buses will shake the dust of Santa Ana from their tires and not come back. It is declared that an auto bus doing business through the four principal towns of the county has to pay the price of a second-hand automobile now per year just as license. Here it is: Santa Ana charges $25 a year for a license. Orange takes hold of $60 per year and Anaheim wants and gets $15. Then comes Fullerton for a whole armful, $200 a year. It is stated that a bond for $10,000 will cost the auto stage $200 a year. On top of all that the automobile is taxed the same as other automobiles, and each has to pay a sum to the state for auto license. Truly, lot of the jitney bus is quite different from what it was before the cities began to make them pay for dozing business. The $10,000 bonding proposal has been made by the Santa Ana city trustees on the theory that the ordinary stage owner owns nothing but his machine. The stage becomes a common carrier, and the public is entitled to protection in case of damages. If through carelessness, an auto is wrecked, the passengers ought to have some recourse for damages done to them. The provision for a bond was included in the proposed new ordinance. It was concluded last Monday night to present the bond in an ordinance separate from the license ordinance. When Long Beach required a bond of its jitney buses the number of buses was reduced to a third. A New York dispatch says Mary Pickford; the moving picture actress, has signed a contract for 52 weeks at $2500 a week, with an additional 50 per cent net on every picture shown, making her income for the year about $200,000. Might we ask if that is not or gross, and whether it is real, honest-to-goodness money or the kind they use on the stage when the hero comes back and pays off the mortgage on the Los Angeles street on the property north of the alley between Center and Chartres. The ground is now covered by a wooden building, occupied by Joe Lautenback with his Electric shoe store, and the Martens blacksmith shop. The room in which Mr. Lautenback conducts his business was fitted up only for temporary use as he will move into the Yungbluth building at the corner of Lemon and Center streets, and it is probable that as soon as he is able to move to his new quarters the old building will be razed and the new structure begun. Construction work on the new Fisher block on West Center street, will begin within a few days, it is postively stated. The job has been lot to contractor Hinaman of Los Angeles, and the work will be pushed to completion as rapidly as possible. This building is to be three stories in height, and will be the most imposing structure in the city until the new city hall is built. It will contain three store rooms on the ground floor, a magnificent lodge room in the rear of the two upper stories, and office rooms in front on the second and third floors. All modern conveniences will be installed, making it an up-to-date building in every respect. It is said by the large number of people who attended that the entertainment given by the Knights of Pythias under the direction of William Morton Rasmus last Wednesday evening was one of the best ever presented by that order. Mr. Rasmus' impersonation of Sir Peter Teazle, and Mrs. Rasmus as Lady Teazle, were most excellent and roundly applauded. These people are now engaged in arranging an entertainment for the Knights at Fullerton which will be given at an early date. Surgical goods. Heyling's Pharmacy.
