COUNTY DIVISION AGAIN Senator Bauer has an interesting communication on another page of this issue, in which he suggests a division of the county as a means of alleviating the unfair conditions now imposed upon citizens of this portion of the county in the matter of the unfair distribution of road moneys expended upon the county's system of paved highways. While we are not at present prepared to agree with Senator Bauer relative to his suggestion we are free to confess that the treatment accorded this part of the county by the board of supervisors is unjust and intolerable. We ask merely for a square deal from the supervisors, and this we believe our people are resolved to insist upon. We are not prepared to agree with citizens who favor mandamous proceedings nor injunction proceedings but we feel that matters now at issue between this district and the board of supervisors are rapidly approaching a show-down. We ask for a square deal. We commend Senator Bauer's article to the careful perusal of our readers. Division of Orange county upon the lines laid down by Senator Bauer is not at all impossible. It may not come at this session of the legislature, but so sure as this portion of the county continues to get it in the neck from our present board of supervisors, just that sure will this proposition to divide Orange county gather accelerated strength in the time to come. It will NO MORE ROAD BONDS According to current report, a delegation of coast boulevardlers will be present at the Yorba Linda meeting on Friday evening to attempt to secure an affirmative vote upon the proposition to set aside $160,000 of the surplus of $246,710 now in the hands of the highway commission for use in the continuation of the coast boulevard. Falling in this, we understand it is their purpose to ask favorable consideration of a supplemental bond issue in the amount of $600,000, a large portion of which amount, we presume, is to be set apart for construction of the seashore highway. We lean to the opinion that this large amount of money ($160,000) should not be taken from the surplus now in the hands of the highway commission for the seashore boulevard, nor do we think the time is opportune for voting an additional bond issue at this time upon the taxpayers of the county. In recent issues of this journal we have shown the unfair distribution of moneys expended for paved roads in Orange county. While the third supervisor district contains 40 per cent of the assessed valuation of the county, and pays 40 per cent of the bonded indebtedness of $1,270,000 voted for good roads two years ago, the amount expended for paved roads in this district is .16 per cent of the district's assessed valuation; while in the second district the amount of moneys expended is .47 per cent of the assessed valuation. The amount of money expended for roads in the third supervisor district, including an appropriation for the road between this city and Olive, which has not yet been constructed, and which at this writing seems tolerably well up in the air, is $325,171. Inasmuch as the Olive road ORANGE There is little market this week are still pretty fruit that was due weather in transit.

The first notable fact about it is that denominational lines have been obliterated. That is as it should be, for religion is not sectarian, but a universal concern of mankind. Among the instructors is Professor Walter Rauschenbusch, the well known author and social service expert, who will give two courses on "Christianity and the Redemption of Society." Professor Charles Edward Rugh, of the Education Department of the University of California, will discuss live problems under the title of "Moral Leadership for High School Boys." Dr. Henry Frederick Cope, of Chicago, Secretary of the Religious Education Association, will give his expert knowledge and experience in two courses on the "Ideals and Methods in Religious Education." The problems of the rural church and community were recognized by the University Department of Agriculture a year ago in a "Ministers' Week" at Davis. Dr. Warren H. Wilson, of New York City, who was secured at that time as one of the foremost experts on rural church problems, will be in charge of the two courses offered. Important further announcements are soon to be made. The school will begin on the same date as the University Summer School and continue in session for six weeks. Detailed information may be obtained by addressing President Charles Sumner Nash of Pacific Theological Seminary, Berkeley, California. GARDEN GROVE PROTESTS The proposal to spend the largest portion of the surplus of the good roads money on the coast houlevard had expanded for paved roads in the district .16 per cent of the district's assessed valuation; while in the second district the amount of moneys expended is .47 per cent of the assessed valuation. The amount of money extended for roads in the third supervisor district, including an appropriation for the road between this city and Olive, which has not yet been constructed, and which at this writing seems tolerably well up in the air, is $325,171. Inasmuch as the Olive road will cost probably $30,000, the amount of money actually expended in the third district is in the neighborhood of $295,000. In the second supervisor district the amount of money expended is $315,491, which, as we say, is .47 per cent expenditure to the total amount of assessed valuation of that district, while the amount actually expended in this district, compared with an assessed valuation is considerably less than one-third that expended in the second district. Added to this excess expenditure in the second district comes this new demand for $160,000 for the coast boulevard, most of which will be expended within the second supervisor district. Inasmuch as the second district has already had more than its share of road moneys expended in that district, this request for this $160,000 additional for the coast boulevard seems to us to be preposterous and absurd. More than this, a bond issue of $600,000 at this time, much of which money will be admittedly expended upon the coast road, is altogether out of the question. Four years ago a bond issue of $100,000 was voted for bridges in Orange county, and our people were promised not only the Olive bridge but the Yorba bridge as well, to replace the antiquated structures now spanning the river at these points. While $70,000 of this amount was expended for bridges in the southern portion of the county, these two bridges at Olive and Yorba have been ignored, until recently, when work upon the Olive bridge was begun and according to current report its approaches will not be constructed until a protection district is formed in this part of the county. The present contemplated bridge is 600 feet in length, including approaches, while the old wooden bridge, built a quarter of a century ago, was 1600 feet in length. When these bridge bonds were voted, nothing was said of the organization of a protection district, as a condition precedent to beginning work upon the structure.

GARDEN GROVE PROTESTS The proposal to spend the largest portion of the surplus of the good roads money on the coast boulevard had rather hard sledding at Garden Grove Tuesday night. There was a meeting at the Forresters' hall, where the matter was talked over. Garden Grove is especially interested in urging the paving of a road running directly west from Garden Grove a distance of 2.25 miles, then southward to the Westminster road. That road is the one that the meeting decided to ask for. It was stated that Orange is anxious that the road running directly west by the county hospital be paved to the road running north from Garden Grove. The request for the pavement of that road was endorsed by the Garden Grove meeting. Representatives of the coast boulevard proposal were on hand and presented their arguments. P. A. Stanton was there boosting for the coast boulevard, and a delegation from La Habra asked for two spur roads. There is going to be a strong representation at Yorba Linda of boosters for the foothill boulevard, from Tustin through Lemon Heights, El Modena and Villa Park to Olive. The Orange Commercial club called a meeting at its club rooms for Wednesday night and invited delegations in from places along the proposed boulevard, and arrangements were made for a representation to continue the fight for the foothill road. The gun and, according to current report its approaches will not be constructed until a protection district is formed in this part of the county. The present contemplated bridge is 600 feet in length, including approaches, while the old wooden bridge, built a quarter of a century ago, was 1600 feet in length. When these bridge bonds were voted, nothing was said of the organization of a protection district, as a condition precedent to beginning work upon the structure. Two years ago $1,270,000 of bonds was voted for paved roads in this county. The road between Anaheim and Olive was included in the highway system, yet we are now told the road will not be paved until a protection district is first formed. When these bonds were voted, nothing was said concerning the organization of a protection district as a condition precedent to the paving of this important highway. What are we going to do about these things? The people seem to be dead set against the storm water district as at present outlined, and a proposition is now before them to disorganize this district. So work upon the bridge is to be discontinued, and is this paved road to be continued in abeyance until a storm water district shall be organized? And are we to sit idly by and see the coast boulevarders take $160,000 from the surplus fund and apply it to a paved seashore highway? And if the coast boulevarders fail in this attempt to raid the surplus fund are we to consent to another bond issue of $600,000 so that they might pull off their pet project? We rather think not. It is time for the people of the third supervisor district to be accorded fair treatment by the highway commission and the board of supervisors, and until such time, all talk about another $600,000 bond issue will be futile and out of the question.

Frantz, ``` ANAHEIM GAZETTE ORANGE SHIPMENTS There is little change in the orange market this week, as eastern markets are still pretty well filled up with fruit that was damaged by the cold weather in transit. Of course this fruit has been selling very slowly and at low prices, but it is thought with the cleaning up of this old stock the market will improve and better prices will be realized. Weather conditions in the east are not favorable as yet, but shippers are hopeful that the near future will see this condition, as well as market conditions, in better shape. Shipping have been light during the past week or ten days because of market conditions, which also gives a chance to clean up old stock. Shipping from the northern districts practically are cleaned up. The local office or laboratory of the government for the testing of fruit has been closed at Porterville. The fruit in most of the southern districts is ready for shipment, but not many cars have been going forward recently because of the poor market. The fruit is of good color and the quality very desirable. A little anxiety has been felt in some districts because of the cold nights of the past week. On Saturday and Sunday nights the temperature dropped to 28 degrees in the Pomona and some other districts, but it remained at this figure but a short time, doing no harm to the fruit. A low temperature of some five or six hours will cause damage in the fruit, but an hour or so of the same temperature does no harm. At this time there is no report of any fruit being frosted. Growers usually feel that the great danger of frost is past by the middle of January, although they keep close watch until later.

The companies state that these fares were placed in effect in order to encourage Sunday travel between Los Angeles and points further inland and from inland points to beach cities. Due to the increase in the number of automobiles and motorcycles and also on account of electric line competition, the railroads state that these fares have become unremunerative. MAKE HOME VISITS To get in touch with every home in Orange county is the aim of the county wide house to house visitation to take place Saturday, January 30, beginning at 9 a.m., under the auspices of the Orange County Sunday School association. The plan is a systematically organized interdenominational movement to, in a few hours, meet the people and learn to know conditions and territory canvassed. The purpose is to invite, with a printed invitation, all to attend the church Sunday school of their choice, find out church or pastor preferences and to get such data as will help to know each other better, and beget more interest in one another. The canvass, no doubt, will reveal many who can be helped, and many lonesome, discouraged ones to whom the call, the hearty shakehakevin R. Lee for $617 commission on a realty deal. Sheriff Jackson has made a return of attachment of real estate. Mrs. Louise Schumacher and Miss Amanda Rothangle of Bellville, Illinois, who are visiting friends here, were entertained at dinner Sunday by Captain and Mrs. L. R. Williams, Mr. and Mrs. T. S. Grimshaw and Miss Alice Grimshaw were also of the party. L. M. Pitman, who has resided here for the past 600 years, will leave about March 1st for Bozeman, Montana, where he has property interests which need his personal attention. Mr. Pitman while here has bought and sold several small properties. His many friends here wish for his success in his former Montana home, and all indulge in the hope that he may again return to Anaheim to reside.

Mrs. Adelheid Konig was injured in a fall from a street car near Los Angeles Friday evening. At Spaulding station she descended from the car but it did not stop long enough to enable her to alight safely and she was thrown to the ground. Her left wrist was sprained, both knees hurt and internal injuries sustained. Mrs. Kongg declares she will bring an action against the company. D. W. McDaniald, Orange county's representative in charge of exhibits from this section at the two big expositions and in Los Angeles, has been busy for several days past in distributing the recently published Orange county advertising booklets of which an edition of 100,000 copies was printed. To date, he has distributed 36,000 of the books, placing them at points where they will the most readily come into the hands of prospective California homeseekers. C. E. Ruddock, through attorneys Head & Marks, has filed an answer to the action brought by Estevan Schonique against C. E. Ruddock, who when sheriff attached a Mercer automobile. The machine was attached under instruction of Head & Marks, attorneys for A. N. Stanley, who was suing Oxarart Bros. for $500. The attorneys stated that the machine belonged to Oxarart Bros., and one of the brothers was in possession of it when "2 The saving on depreciation, repairs and fuel for automobiles will average at least $11 each per year. Assuming that you have 2,000 motor vehicles of all kinds in the county, the saving to the owners of these will annually amount to $220,000, or enough to pay off the entire bond issue with interest twice over." "3 Assuming that you have 5,000 horses and mules in your county, the good roads will save at least: For shoes and harness annually,$1.50 each.$7,500 For each animal for feed, 50 cents per month.$30,000 Increase useful life of each animal, 10 per cent.$75,000 Wear and tear on wagons and carriages, 2,000 at $5 each.$10,000 Total $122,500 "This will be sufficient to pay the bonds and interest for 32 years and have an annual surplus of $2,500 to expend on maintenance." "4 United States census figures show that it cost Sonoma county $180,000 per year more to haul over its present roads than it would over improved roads, and this item alone would more than meet the annual payments on bond and interest. "5 The advertising feature alone would be worth enough to cover the $40,000 average annual interest. Your neighboring counties will doubtless make permanent road improvement; and, if you do not, the results will be that people touring through the state will be advised to go around Sonoma county. You cannot afford to permit that." "Our good-roads system in Orange county is nearing completion, and judging from its effects already evident, I am convinced that the above figures are not the result of an idle dream." In a few hours, meet the people and learn to know conditions and territory canvassed. The purpose is to invite, with a printed invitation, all to attend the church Sunday school of their choice, find out church or pastor preferences and to get such data as will help to know each other better, and beget more interest in one another. The canvass, no doubt, will reveal many who can be helped, and many lonesome, discouraged ones to whom the call, the hearty handshake and follow up effort will prove a benediction and a blessing. In short, the whole purpose is to be helpful and do good. All data gathered goes to proper headquarters to be properly tabulated and recorded and kept for use. TUSTIN MAN BADLY BURNED Suffering frightfully from burns received as the result of an exploding smudge pot, Philip Ebel, Third and B streets, Tustin, Thursday morning rode his bicycle about a mile to his home before he was given medical attention. He will probably recover as his burns are of the surface variety. The accident occurred at about 5:30 o'clock. Ebel was lighting his smudge pot on his 10-acre orange ranch on Mitchell avenue. He was using gasoline to help ignite the distillate in the pots. The use of too much gasoline was probably responsible for the explosion. By rolling himself on the ground Ebel extinguished his burning clothing. He got on his wheel and went to his home. His right hand, right ear and right side of his face are badly blistered. He is also suffering from burns on his limbs. FOR EXCHANGE Fine Valencia orange trees for exchange for cement pipe, or hay, wood, horses, mules, property or anything we can use. Frantz, barber.

The Glee Club of the University of Southern California will give a concert tomorrow evening at eight o'clock in the high school auditorium. The club is said to be the best on the Pacific coast so that a good program is assured. The high school puts on a number of good entertainments each year; always striving to get the best in each class. These numbers have been well supported this year and if the support is continued we are practically assured of a first class lyceum course for next year. The proceeds of the entertainment will go toward furnishing new scenery for the high school stage. The trial of Frank O. Meyer, charged with driving an auto while intoxicated, was held in Justice Cox's court at Santa Ana Tuesday. Meyer is the man who, returning to Fullerton from Anaheim on December 28th drove his machine into U. S. Lemon, who was retiring to his home here on a bicycle, and fractured Lemon's leg by smashing him into a telephone pole. It was alleged that Meyer was intoxicated, as it is said his machine hit a wagon and team before striking Lemon. Deputy District Attorney Walter Eden conducted the prosecution. After hearing the evidence of a couple of witnesses the prosecution asked that the case be dismissed which the judge accordingly did. Depression Caused not by Actual Need or Want as by Thought That Everything is in Bad Shapes The California Cured Fruit association, with headquarters in San Francisco has issued the following bulletin: The year 1914, just past, especially as far as dried fruits are concerned, will do down in history as one containing a great number of serious problems. Many things happened which had never happened before and for which we had no precedent. In the first place, the European war coming at a time when dried fruit packers were receiving fruit and getting ready to commence forwarding the apricot crop to Germany and other foreign countries, left everybody in a very uncertain state of mind as what the outcome might be; with not only the possibilities of shipment and the financial and other abilities of export buyers practically wiped out, and the uncertainty as to what amount of fruit would be used by the foreign trade, the values of dried apricots declined very materially, and it looked for a while as if all the dried apricots which in former years had been exported would have to be consumed in this country, but after awhile things commenced to shape themselves around so that England and some of the other European countries commenced to buy dried fruit, but at a much lower range of prices than if conditions had remained as they were before the declaration of war. It looks now as if the dried fruit crop of 1914 will be entirely cleaned up before the 1915 crop comes in. Today apricots are held firmly at advancing prices, and there is a slightly better demand. Prunes, in the earlier part of the season, commanded a high price, but HOW GOOD ROADS HAVE IN Southern Califormented the state highconstruction of 107 miles by, says the Highway Sonoma county decldsystem of highway imsecretary of the SonoRoads Club wrote to a leading taxpayer and county highway using the saving effect in that county.

Center Street Anaheim, California after the war commenced they dropped; they are now being held at fairly good prices, and on this commodity we are looking for good prices to be obtained after the buying season starts in again. Exports have been heavier than at first anticipated, and domestic markets should take the balance of the crop now on hand. Many of the European markets which in former years bought fruit through Germany have been buying direct, and the matter of credits is shaping itself up in a very much better way than was expected ing year's business, but we are looking generally for a better feeling all over the country and also for a quick revival of business. A nation wide campaign to assist in the revival of business was launched in Omaha a few days ago; the movement proposes to quicken commerce and manufacturing by hastening purchases which must be made sooner or later.

In the European war coming a dried fruit packers fruit and getting ready forwarding the apricot by and other foreign everybody in a very mind as what the time; with not only the shipment and the fewer abilities of export by wiped out, and the what amount of fruit by the foreign trade, dried apricots declined and it looked for a dried apricots which had been exported to be consumed in this or awhile things come to themselves around and some of the other countries commenced to but at a much lower than if conditions had were before the dec.

Many of the European markets which in former years bought fruit through Germany have been buying direct, and the matter of credits is shaping itself up in a very much better way than was expected some few months ago. There is very little change in the raisin situation; the little business which being done is done at prices slightly under the prices of the Associated Raisin company. Dried peaches have been the lowest of all the commodities this year, and have been somewhat of a drug on the market. The cotton situation in the south has affected this line very materially, and, while there is practically nothing doing in peach sales now, there is an indication that prices will be better before long as this line is being held more firmly than it has been in the past. The dried fruit tonnage in this state was very much heaver than last year, and considering the conditions which have existed, together with the increased tonnage we have, while the prices have not been as good as they might have been they might have been a great deal worse. Dried fruitshipments by water have been very much ahead of last year, owing to the opening of the Panama canal. The larger percentage of dried fruit has been shipped by water instead of by rail. This being the time of the year when buyers are taking stock, and generally winding up the year's business, orders will be slow until things get back into normal condition. The conditions in Europe will probably have a good deal of effect on the com- A nation wide campaign to assist in the revival of business was launched in Omaha a few days ago; the movement proposes to quicken commerce and manufacturing by hastening purchases which must be made sooner or later.

There is plenty of money in the country and if everyone would make up their minds that things are going to be good, we would soon have plenty of business. BOLD BURGLAR The old saying that lightning does not strike twice in the same place, fails to apply to the rubbery of the George Kuechel residence in Orange early Monday morning. The Kuechel home, which was burglarized about ten days ago, was entered again. On the first occasion the burglar stole a pair of shoes. This time a pair of worn-out shoes were left, the burglar getting away with $2 cash, which he may have thought a fair price for them. The intruder gained entrance to the house about 2 a.m. He ransacked the lower floor and then proceeded upstairs, where he entered the room of Miss Edna Kuechel. Miss Kuechel was awake and saw him start to come in. She made a noise to frighten him away and succeeded, as he withdrew and made his way out, though apparently in no haste and making scarcely any noise. As it was raining out of doors, the occupants of the house had no desire to pursue him. Martin Benson and wife have returned to Anaheim from North Dakota.
