AMERICAN SAVINGS BANK OF ANAHEIM A GOOD BANK TO BE WITH "Mid pleasures and palaces, there's no place like home" (if you own it). Many a man owns his home because he has had the wisdom and foresight to build up a savings account in this bank. 4 per cent paid on term deposits. AUTOMOBILE TRIP TO SAN DIEGO FAIR Will Start From Los Angeles Tomorrow, Returning Through This City California's greatest motor tour, arranged for 1915, will start Friday, at 8 o'clock in the morning. After seven years of feverish activity in construction and improvement, Southern California will celebrate with a three day trek over $15,000,000 worth of roads. All motorists who are out for a good time with an underlying purpose of sterner stuff, will meet Friday morning in front of the Auto club headquarter. Mitchell of the Auto club.

After seven years of feverish activity in construction and improvement, Southern California will celebrate with a three day trek over $15,000,000 worth of roads. All motorists who are out for a good time with an underlying purpose of sterner stuff, will meet Friday morning in front of the Auto club headquarters, Figueroa street between Pico and Sixteenth, Los Angles prepared to start on a boulevard and improved dirt road trip to the Panama-California exposition. Officials of the Automobile Club of Southern California and representatives of the exposition in a conference meeting arranged the final details of the tour. It was decided that for the convenience of those who hesitate to undertake anything but a so-called city jaunt—inside the city limits—but who wish to undertake the longer tour to the southern terminus, service trucks and pilot care will be stationed at stipulated points along the road, particularly between Temecula and Bonsall, on the inland route. All portions of the road will be put in good condition for the run, according to supervisors along the route chosen, so far as is possible. This will be particularly true of the stretch of highway from the top of the Torrey Pines grade into La Jolla. Good news from Riverside states that the new state highway from Riverside to Perris, over what was once a bad stretch, has been opened, and will be used by the 1915 motor tour. Motorists from Riverside, Pasadena, Santa Barbara, Pomona and Oceanside have sent in announcements that delegations from each of these places will be waiting for the main Los Angeles body, ready to fall into line. The swelling number will be met at Der Mar by President Davidson of the Panama-California exposition and his attending staff of automobiles. All Auto club members in San Diego have signified their intention of motoring up the coast Friday to join in the reception at Del Mar. From here they will pilot the trekkers into San Diego, where they will separate to take up their accommodations at the various hotels. On the return trip, the motorists will be led by Fred L. Baker, president of the Automobile club, over the Stanton Complains of Factory Odors. The Board of Supervisors on Saturday received the following letter from the city clerk at Stanton: "Gentlemen:—At a regular meeting of the Board of Trustees of the City of Stanton, the clerk was instructed for and in behalf of the city of Stanton to enter complaints to your honorable board, protesting against the horrible stench from the Los Alamitos sugar factory. Furthermore, we request the honorable Board of Supervisors of Orange County to take such action as may be necessary to have said sugar factory declared a public nuisance and to cause the nuisance to be abated. Assuring you that the stink pots of Egypt were nosegays compared to the Los Alamitos sugar factory, I remain "Yours very truly, F. C. BEECHER, Clerk." First in Walnuts. George P. Weldon, of the State Horizental Commission, in a report on the season's products says that Orange county leads the state in walnuts. Butte county leads the state in the production of almonds and olives, producing 14 per cent of the state's total almond crop and 17 of the olives. Fresno leads the state in figs and peaches. More than half the fig crop is raised there, being 66 per cent of the state output. Fresno controls 36 per cent of the peach crop. Santa Clara county is first in cherries prunes, and apricots; San Bernardino first in oranges; Los Angeles is first in lemons and second in oranges; Santa Cruz is first in apples; Placer is first in plum production.

All Auto club members in San Diego have signified their intention of motorizing up the coast Friday to join in the reception at Del Mar. From here they will pilot the trekkers into San Diego, where they will separate to take up their accommodations at the various hotels. On the return trip, the motorists will be led by Fred L. Baker, president of the Automobile club, over the entire coast road from San Diego, by way of Del Mar, Oceanside, Santa Ana, this city and Fullerton. This route is now in excellent condition. Almost 200 miles of paved and macadamized boulevard will be travelled on the round trip tour. "Every effort is being made to make the 1915 Auto club tour, open to all motorists, an event worthy of long memory," said Secretary Standish L.

The jury recommended Gutierrez to mercy but the court considered him equally guilty with the other two and handed him the same sentence. These men entered the saloon one evening, two weeks ago, and while two of them kept the bartender busy the other walked through to the rear and picked up two cases containing 48 pint bottles of whiskey on the way. The cases were stacked at the door of the warehouse near the rear of the building. The loss was discovered the next morning and the police notified. Phil Germann took the trail and before night had the three men in jail and all that was left of the liquor stored away in the city hall. There was no question as to the guilt of the three as each acknowledged complicity in the matter before the day of trial, but attempted to exonerate himself by laying the blame for the actual theft upon some other member of the party. In the trial Monday Deputy District Attorney Koepsel prosecuted and the defendants had two attorneys. Leonard Evans appeared for Gutierrez and Albert Trujillo of San Bernardino for Ortega and Rios. Fred Rimpau acted as interpreter as the bulk of the evidence was given in the Spanish language. The jury was composed of John Cordes, Oliver Hill, J. S. Hile, Daniel Naugle, G. O'Donnell, J. P. Mayhew, Max Junge, A. P. Squire, Robert Quentin, Ben Frank. Mr. E. Borchert, of Garden Grove Road, is the fortunate possessor of an International Harvester 8-16 Mogul Tractor recently purchased from the Pacific Implement Company. This useful little machine has become widely known as the "small farm tractor for all farm work." It is a tractor of the 4-wheel, general purpose type, which can be used for all plowing, seeding, harvesting, hauling, and for the running of all such machines as enailage cutters, huskers and shredders, feed grinders, and other power machines in general use on Minnesota farms. Mr. Borchert expects to use it for all these purposes and to do with it, in the course of a year, a great deal of the work for which at present he is using horses. The average price per thousand for common sand lime brick was $5.99 in 1914, compared with $6.27 in 1913, $6.46 in 1912 and $6.09 in 1911. The sand lime brick industry has been established in the United States since 1901, when the first plant was started at Michigan City, Ind. Since that time it has passed through the various stages of a new industry. In the beginning it suffered severely from the boomer, whose glittering promises to make brick for a few dollars a thousand that would sell in competition with high grade clay face brick caused many plants to be established for the manufacture of sand lime brick without regard to market, transportation facilities, or even a supply of suitable material. Some plants constructed under these conditions neverate General Baron Sievers of the defeated Russian tenth army. The Anzleger says General Sievers was summoned by the grand duke to explain the defeat of the Russian tenth army. A heated colloquy took place, the newspaper says, and the grand duke gave General Sievers a box on the ear. The latter thereupon drew a revolver and wounded the grand duke, subsequently killing himself. The fact that General Sievers had committed suicide, the paper continues, was learned at the time of his funeral, but the news that Grand Duke Nicholas had been wounded has only just become known. It has been reported that Grand Duke Nicholas was ill and a surgical operation had been decided upon In the trial Monday Deputy District Attorney Koepsel prosecuted and the defendants had two attorneys. Leonard Evans appeared for Gutterrez and Albert Truillou of San Bernardino for Ortega and Rios. Fred Rimpau acted as interpreter as the bulk of the evidence was given in the Spanish language. The jury was composed of John Cordes, Oliver Hill, J. S. Hile, Daniel Naugle, G. O'Donnell, J. P. Mayhew, Max Junge, A. P. Squire, Robert Quarton, Ben Stroup, Frank Baum and Dr. Stahl. After hearing the evidence and the arguments of the attorneys the jury deliberated two hours and finally returned a verdict of guilty against all three, and the court gave them the limit permitted him by the law. POINDEXTER BACK IN FOLD The sole Progressive in the United States Senate, Miles Polindexter of Washington, announced some days ago at Spokane that he would seek reelection on the Republican ticket. He took his seat in the Senate as a Progressive April 17, 1911, and his term will expire March 3, 1917. Senator Polindexter arrived at his home from Washington and after a day's consultation with friends issued a statement which read in part: "I will be a candidate for the Publication nomination. As to the party, the people will have full opportunity to decide all the questions connected with my candidacy." "The record of the last Legislature is a lively reminder that if we are to hold and consolidate to use a war phrase, the ground gained in recent years, the division of Progressives must cease." "There will be a concerted and vigorous movement by Republicans throughout the country to nominate a Progressive on the Republican ticket for President of the United States. When united the party is progressive, both in this State and in the nation. Neither the Aberdeen convention in this state in 1912, nor the Chicago convention of that year represented the Republican party." "Both perpetrated a political coup 'detat by force and Machiavellian methods,' with swarms of armed policemen on the floors and at the doors. Their acts were void and of no effect." DECREASE IN OUTPUT OF SANDWICH BRICK various stages of a new industry. In the beginning it suffered severely from the boomer, whose glittering promises to make brick for a few dollars a thousand that would sell in competition with high grade clay face brick caused many plants to be established for the manufacture of sand-lime brick without regard to market, transportation facilities, or even a supply of suitable material. Some plants constructed under these conditions never attempted to market their product. Then came the natural reaction when the number of the plants and the value of the product decreased even more rapidly than commercial conditions would have seemed to warrant. Since that stage, within the last few years the industry appears to have become firmly established and is now showing a reasonable growth. WATER COMPANY HOLDS SESSION Directors Transact Business at Regular Meeting Saturday Afternoon A regular meeting of the board of directors of the Anaheim Union Water company was held April 17. Minutes of the last regular meeting were read and approved. On motion duly seconded the board accepted the proposition of the Southern California Edison Co. to construct a line connecting plants 2, 3 and 4 and sell it to the company at cost; also the proposition to lease the company 3-4 of a mile of their line. A communication from Fred West in regard to waste water on his property was referred to the attorney to draw up an agreement. Agreement for sale of oil to the Richfield Oil company for year beginning April 25, 1915, was received and was on motion duly seconded. The president and secretary were authorized to sign same. On motion duly seconded Director Sherwood was instructed to investigate conditions on North Branch ditch near Cypress-street. Communication from Mr. L. Henning was referred to the superintendent. On motion duly seconded the Highland avenue pipe line was referred to the ditch committee with power to act. On motion duly seconded the following transfers of stock were granted. 10 shares from Guasteve Stern to Lily M. Dickle and 1½ shares from Wm. Dayton to G. B. Hoag upon drew a revolver and wounded the grand duke, subsequently killing alimself. The fact that General Sievers had committed suicide, the paper continues, was learned at the time of his funeral, but the news that Grand Duke Nicholas had been wounded has only just become known. It has been reported that Grand Duke Nicholas was ill and a surgical operation had been decided upon to learn what was the trouble. A well known German Russian surgeon, Dr. Berfman, nephew of the late Prof. Bergmann of Berlin, declined to operate, whereupon the invasion was accepted by a professor of Riga. General Sievers was the commander of the Russian tenth army, which, in the middle of February, met with a severe defeat at the hands of the Germans in the Mazurian lakes region of East Prussia. The report that the general had ended his life appeared in the Frankfurter Zeitung on March 12. The newspaper said it had received a dispatch from Petrograd intimating that the Russian officer had ended his own life. The authority for this inference, however, seemed to rest on the fact that reports had been in circulation concerning a mourning service which was held for the general in a Lutheran church, and the report was not confirmed from any other source. STATE RAILROAD COMMISSION WILL HEAR APPLICATION Southern Counties Gas Co. Desirious Of Raising Minimum Rate of 50¢ to $1.00 The city of Orange has received notice that on April 27 at 10 o'clock the State Railroad Commission will hear the application of the Southern Counties Gas Company, which supplies Orange, Santa Ana, Anaheim and Fullerton, for permission to raise the gas rates at Orange. At Orange it is believed that if the gas company is successful in getting a raise at Orange, its next step will be another in the towns supplied by it, and it is thought that the gas company intends to ask for a raise over its entire system in Orange county. At present Orange, like Santa Ana, is paying seventy-five cents per 1000 cubic feet for gns. It is known that DECREASE IN OUTPUT OF SAND-LIME BRICK The condition of the sand lime brick industry in the United States in 1914 according to figures gathered by the United States geological survey was on the whole, not entirely satisfactory to the manufacturers, though in some states, notably in Florida and Indiana, considerable progress was made. The year opened with good prospects for a prosperous season, and many operators reported that these prospects were in a fair way to be realized when conditions arising from the European war put a check to building activities, and from that time forward business was reported poor. In 1914 the value of the output was $1,058,512, a decrease in value of $179,813 compared with 1913. Nine of the 23 states reporting marketed product in 1914 showed an increase and 14 showed decrease in output. These increases and decreases were confined to no one section of the country, as Florida, Indiana, South Dakota and Wisconsin showed the principal increases, and California, the District of Columbia, Massachusetts, Michigan, New York, Pennsylvania, Texas, and Washington showed the largest decreases. Michigan continues to be the leading state, the value of its produce constituting more than 24 per cent of the total value of all sand lime brick in 1914, and more than 25 per cent of the total in 1913. PRODUCE COMPANY FINED USED SHORT-WEIGHT CRATES County Sealer of Weights and Measures Rounds up Law Infractors Friday morning George McPhee, county sealer of weights and measures seized six crates of strawberries shipped to the Johnson Produce company of Santa Ana by Meyer, Darling & Hinton company of Los Angeles. McPhee seized these berries because the boxes were short weight. Soon after the berries were taken into possession by McPhee he swore to a complaint against the Los Angeles firm, and later a plead of guilty was entered. A fine of $10 was paid. I. J. Owens of San Pedro was in Santa Ana in response to the warrants issued on McPhee's complaints of short weight berries. Owens pleaded not guilty and asked for a jury trial. He insisted that the jury be of twelve men. His request was granted. GRAND DUKE SHOT BY STAFF OFFICER BERLIN, April 17.—The Anzeiger of Duisburg, Rhenish, Prussia, says it learns from an absolutely unimpeachable source that the reported sickness of Grand Duke Nicholas Nicholalevitch, commander in chief of the Russian forces, was due to a shot in the abdomen fired by the Shawwood was instructed to investigate gate conditions on North Branch ditch near Cypress-street. Communication from Mr. L. Henning was referred to the superintendent. On motion duly seconded the Highland avenue pipe line was referred to the ditch committee with power to act. On motion duly seconded the following transfers of stock were granted. 10 shares from Gustave Stern to Lily M. Dickie and 1½ shares from Wm. Dayton to G. B. Hoag. E. Bearisley of Garden Grove has a walnut twig with 19 tiny walnuts growing upon it. A few days ago he heard that a Whittier man was quite proud of having found a twig with 13 tiny walnuts on it. Beardaley knows that there is not any better walnut soil on earth than right her in Orange county, and so he began searching his walnut trees for a rival of the Whittier twig. He did not have to look long. He found dozens of twigs that were crowded full of tiny walnuts just formed, but the real first place twig had nineteen. J. T. Lyon of Santa Ana was in town Friday on a business mission. Mr. Lyon has a tract of fine land near Delano which he desires to dispose of.

SCHUMACHER, Prop. WAR BRINGS TRADE BALANCE IN OUR FAVOR Figures submitted by the department of Labor and Commerce at Washington show that on account of the great war now raging in Europe, the balance of trade, which under the Underwood free trade bill had been against us, is now greatly in our favor. The figures submitted on the excess of exports over imports showed a trade balance of more than $600,000,000 in favor of the United States, the greater part of which accrued during the last four months. It is estimated that the balance of trade in favor of America will amount to $1,000,000,000 by the end of the fiscal year, June 30. Inasmuch as Europe holds or did hold at the beginning of the war about $6,000,000,000 of American securities, the United States is not yet a creditor nation. This stupendous credit movement in the last eight months, however, is unparalleled in the history of the world. The largest trade balance ever achieved by the United States hitherto was near $700,000,000 in 1913. That mark will be passed before the end of this month, for the credit margin is increasing at the rate of $25,000,000 a week. The commanding position won in a few months in the marts of the world already has started talk that henceforth the United States, instead of England, will be the banker of the nations; that the United States, instead of either Great Britain or Germany, will rule international trade. Whether this ambition be realized depends altogether on the ability of the American business men to maintain after peace is restored the advantages gained during the progress of the conflict. In 1900 there was a boom in foreign trade second only to that prevailing now. The trade balance soared to $648,000,000. There was a great surplus of grain and of manufactured products which found ready buyers abroad. Immediately predictions were heard that London would give way to New York as the world's banker, and that the United States shortly would be a creditor instead of a debitor nation. Just exactly how much prosperity is in store for the country as a result of the vast business brought to the United States by the war remains to be seen. Discounting the benefits represented by the tremendous trade balance now materializing and in prospect is the increase in the cost of flour, meats and other foods and clothing to American consumers due to the reduction of the At Orange it is begas company is succending at Orange, will be another in the company intends to ask its entire system in This stupendous credit movement in the last eight months, however, is unparalleled in the history of the world.

The United States is now the mistress of the commercial and financial markets of the world. It is feeding and clothing Europe and furnishing the stupendous quantities of supplies for which the war has created a demand abroad. In addition, bankers are loaning millions of dollars to the warring nations and some neutrals on gilt-edged national security. Just exactly how much prosperity is in store for the country as a result of the vast business brought to the United States by the war remains to be seen. Discounting the benefits represented by the tremendous trade balance now materializing and in prospect is the increase in the cost of flour, meats and other foods and clothing to American consumers due to the reduction of the domestic supply of such commodities by the shipments to Europe. Then there is the $100,000,000 war tax imposed on the people to offset the deficiency in customs revenue caused by the falling off in imports. Altogether it is impossible to say that the trade balance represents much additional wealth for this country. Good Place to Buy— G-O-O-D L-U-M-B-E-R C. GANAHL LUMBER COMPANY Anaheim. : : : : Cal.
