A CROWN OF VICTORY Congratulations to the members of the Concordia singing society and its gifted conductor, Prof. Ludwig Thomas for winning the silver cup offered at the Los Angeles Sengerfest for the best singers in their class. By selection, they were allotted the song Das Roslein auf der Heide (The Rose on the Heath), one of the most beautiful as it is one of the most difficult songs in their repertoire. In competition for the Franz Josef cup the Concordia society was only one and one-half points behind Los Angeles Turnverein Germania, which had 60 voices in its chorus, while the local singers entered the competition with 26. The local singing society stood second out of six competing classes, leading the three San Francisco societies entering the competition and from Portland. The song rendered in this competition was "The Heart Sorrows," a difficult and masterful composition, which the Concordia sings extremely well. The Concordia also participated in the massed chorus singing, and on every side were recipients of great praise for their efficiency and excellence. The songs which these German singing societies render are sentimental, and include "The Rose on the Heath," "The Old Mother," "The Sunrise," "The Heart Sorrows," and many other compositions, not to forget the old favorites, "On Sunday of a Morning Hour," "When Snows on Alps are Local Notes H.

UNCLE SAM'S COLOSSAL STATURE That the United States is a financial giant among the nations of the world is indicated by a comparison of the national wealth of this country with that of European countries now at war. According to latest available figures the national wealth of the United States is 200 billion dollars, that of England 85 billions, Germany 80 billion, France 50 billion, Russia 40 billion, Austria 25 billion, Italy 20 billion, and Belgium 9 billion. Figures published some time ago estimated property loss in France as a result on the war at 10 billion dollars for the first six months of the German occupation. As the war has continued more than a year, the property loss in that country probably exceeds this figure, if original estimates are accurate. The losses of Germany and England have also been severe, and it is not too much to say that the national wealth of this country equals that of these three great nations combined. The national debt of the United States is one billion dollars, which is one-half of one per cent of Uncle Sam's national wealth. The indebtedness of the warring nations is many times this figure, and it is mounting up probably more than a billion dollars per month. Uncle Sam is reasonably free of debt, while the war Miss Irene Mills is at home from Berkeley where she has been attending the summer session of the university.

California's lemon orchards in ten years will produce more lemons than are consumed at present in this country, G. W. Hosford, Manager of the San Dimas, Cal., Lemon Association, predicted. Of the 32,000 acres of lemon orchards in California, over half are not in bearing, and assuming that the old groves continue their present production and that the young groves produce as heavily, we shall be producing within 8 or 10 years more lemons than are consumed at present in this country. Under the reduced tariff we have found the competition with Sicilian lemons hard to meet in the Eastern markets. "During the next few years the Los Angeles.

During the coming year, for the first time, a National campaign will be inaugurated to increase sale and use of lemons. One of the big problems before California lemon growers is that of producing and handling a lemon of superior quality. Senator Phelan is wholly unfeeling in his report on the Sullivan case. He says nobody could ever have thought Sullivan fit for a diplomatic post, considering his education, training, temperament and antecedents. This is to be taken as a backhanded slap at the president, who strenuously insisted on appointing Sullivan even after Bryan had become suspicious of Sullivan's endorsements.

The train was a San Bernardino and Fullerton local, consisting of three coaches and a combined baggage and mail car. The tank was full of oil, and eye-witnesses say that the burning oil was thrown fifty feet into the air when the collision occurred. The oil fell in a firey shower on the train and in an instant all of the coaches were blazing. The train ran one hundred yards before stopping, leaving burning oil along the road. All the coaches were totally destroyed and in half an hour the locomotive was a mass of scrap iron, a furnace of flames from the burning oil tank which was telescoped with it. The cars were soon reduced to skeletons. The train was in charge of Conductor J. H. Forbes, with J. W. Benton engineer and H. R. Smith fireman. The conductor was not injured, but Burton and Smith was picked up alongside the track, blackened by the Yorba in the afternoon report that the mail clerk was dead and that his charred body was taken out as soon as it could be reached. At least twelve of the twenty passengers were injured. WANT FAIR PRICES The meeting of the members of the Orange County Cured Fruit association held in Santa Ana Saturday was in the nature of a conference. It developed the fact that there are none who advocate holding apricots for a high or prohibitive price. The matter of selling was left entirely in the hands of the board of directors. A fair price and quiet returns are what is wanted by all. From the market report of the last issue of the Pacific Rural Press we take the following: "Now crop apricots are coming in more freely and a lot of interest is taken in this line. "The market is admittedly firmer and more are being sold at the top quotation than formerly. Advices from some of the growing districts are that as high as 7½ cents is offered and the growers are holding for 8 cents." Again it is stated The Fruit Growers Committee of Santa Clara county met July 24th and said: "In regard to apricots, it is reported that very many are disappointed in the amount being harvested." The situation of Orange county's crop is similar. Much good fruit was not harvested, making the output about one-third of normal, instead of 40 per cent, as previously estimated.

A WHOLE BOOK OF SPECIAL THAT YOUR FIRST GLIMPSE OF PRECIATE THEM. All the coaches were totally destroyed and in half an hour the locomotive was a mass of scrap iron, a furnace of flames from the burning oil tank which was telescoped with it. The cars were soon reduced to skeletons. The train was in charge of Conductor J. H. Forbes, with J. W. Benton engineer and H. R. Smith fireman. The conductor was not injured, but Burton and Smith was picked up alongside the track, blackened by the fire and cut and bleeding. Benton was rushed to the Fullerton hospital and Smith was picked up by Ben Yorba and brought to the Anaheim sanitarium. He was terribly cut on the head, had a broken arm and was horribly burned. Yorba lost no time in reaching the sanitarium with him where he was given prompt attention. It was not known yesterday whether his life could be saved. Benton's injuries were reported equally serious. Yorba was travelling at such a terrific rate of speed that he narrowly escaped a disaster in front of the Gazette office, two bicycles standing at the curb there being reduced to scrap iron. Following Yorba within a few moments came another auto bringing in Baggageman Phillips, who was also blackened from the fire and oil and serious cuts and covered with blood. Seven other machines came later, each bearing a scorched or wounded person in dire need of medical attention. Autos also were busy carrying the injured to the Fullerton hospital, and four persons were sent direct to Los Angeles by friends. The train, fortunately, was not heavily loaded, only about twenty passengers being on it. At least twelve of these were more or less injured and the others were saturated with oil. Conductor Forbes was not able to account for all of them and there was a possibility that some were in the burning wreck. The conductor also was unable to account for the mail clerk. He was the only one of the crew who had not been found. Bystanders claimed they could see his body in the firey furnace of what had been the mail and baggage car, but others refused to believe it was the missing man. At twelve o'clock he had not been found, and no one could be discovered who had seen him. Both sides of the track were saturated for a distance of two hundred yards with oil. The burning oil tank and cars for a couple of hours sent to Orange county's crop is similar. Much good fruit was not harvested, making the output about one-third of normal, instead of 40 per cent, as previously estimated. IMPROVEMENTS IN LAUNDRY The Anaheim Laundry company, under the efficient management of Theodore Bros., is rapidly coming to the front as one of the best laundries in Southern California. In order to keep pace with their rapidly increasing trade they have just installed a new flat-work ironer which is one of the first of its kind to arrive on the coast. Other new machinery has been added to the equipment, enabling the plant to handle a larger amount of work than formerly and insuring prompt delivery and low prices. A CORRECTION In the article published in last Thursday's Gazette criticizing the action of city trustees with reference to the street work in the southeast section of the city signed "Citizen," the statement was made that the trustees had promised to pave an alley between Melrose and Olive streets, running from south of the primary school to Santa Ana street. The word "pave" should have read "open." The writer claims the trustees have promised the residents of that section to open this alley, which would be a convenience to them, but they have failed to do so. The demand of the Chicago Bonding and Surety company for a payment for the construction of the Olive bridge will be held up by the board of supervisors. This is necessitated by the fact that claims aggregating over $3500 have been put in against the surety company by laborers and materials men who were contracted with by Trounce & Stoecker, the San Diego contractors who threw up the job. The Chicago Bonding & Surety company was on the bond of the San Diego firm. When closeness of money caused Trounce & Stoecker to quit the work, the surety company had to undertake it or be sued on the bond. A Los Angeles contractor finished the job under an agreement with the surety company. At the time Trounce & Stoecker withdrew from the job claims were piled in against them. The county did not owe Trounce & Stoecker GRAIN EXPORTS AND PRICES It is expected that a much larger part of the grain exports of the United States will this year be moved out through the port of Galveston than in any previous year. In anticipation of such an increase, elevator capacity at Galveston has been considerably increased, and facilities for the handling of grain have been improved. Last year saw elevator capacities and facilities at Galveston inadequate for handling the supply, which was much greater than had been looked for. The average Kansas farmer is now in such good financial condition that it is expected the majority of wheat growers in that state will hold their crops for higher prices. Before the beginning of harvest, an early end of the war in Europe was expected, and had this expectation remained there would have been quick shipments to port. The belief is now general that the war will outlast the present year, and that higher prices will be soon reached. There is some danger of holding on too long, for it is possible that the war may end at any time, and when it does, prices will fall below their present level. But many of the farmers of Kansas and Oklahoma, and of all the Southwest, are in a position to take the risk. A not inconsiderable part of the He was the only one of the crew who had not been found. Bystanders claimed they could see his body in the firey furnace of what had been the mail and baggage car, but others refused to believe it was the missing man. At twelve o'clock he had not been found, and no one could be discovered who had seen him. Both sides of the track were saturated for a distance of two hundred yards with oil. The burning oil tank and cars for a couple of hours sent forth a heat that prevented persons getting close to the wreck. All the train men with the exception of the conductor were more or less injured. One brakeman was found wandering up and down the track with his face blackened and cuts on his head, but not suffering, it was believed, any serious injury. He was dazed, however, and could give only a slight account of the accident. Mr. Sidnam, the Anaheim agent for the Saxon automobile, saw the oil tank break loose at Olinda, and ran an exciting race with it. He knew the train was due at Yorba at that hour and foresaw what would happen unless it was warned, but the track was smoother than the road over which he was travelling and he reached the point at Yorba where the spur runs into the main track just a moment too late. Had the tank broken loose one moment later the train would have passed the junction and the accident would have been prevented. J. W. Benton, the engineer, died before reaching the Fullerton hospital, it is reported. H. R. Smith, the fireman, who is at the Anaheim sanitarium, is supposed to be fatally injured. Both these men were picked up unconscious but it is not known whether they jumped from the engine before the crash came or not. Anaheim people who went up to The Chicago Bonding & Surety company was on the bond of the San Diego firm. When closeness of money caused Trounce & Stoecker to quit the work, the surety company had to undertake it or be sued on the bond. A Los Angeles contractor finished the job under an agreement with the surety company. At the time Trounce & Stoecker withdrew from the job claims were piled in against them. The county did not owe Trounce & Stoecker enough money to meet the demands. Two payments have been made the surety company with the expectation of the supervisors that the claims that had been made against Trounce & Stoecker should be met. Those demands have not been satisfied, and the result is that while there is still money enough due the surety company to meet them, they have not been paid. Attorney S. M. Davis, representing thirty-four employees who worked two days apiece under Trounce & Stoecker put in a claim for $179.50. Williams & Rutan also put in a number of bills against the company amounting to more than $3300. Try standard egg food. H. H. Gardner Co.; 114 N. Los Angeles.

Cole against the supervisors of Orange county, seeking to invalidate the incorporation of the city of Stanton, which was incorporated several years ago. John D. Pope and H. G. Ames represented petitioner and appellant, and L. A. West and H. C. Head represented the defendant. Judgment is for the defendant, and petitioner is to pay costs. F. J. Scherlmann is showing some fancy tomatoes which he grew on his ranch east of town: They were grown from seeds sent to him by a friend in China. These tomatoes are very small, being about the size of a walnut, and of a light red color, but the flavor is far ahead of the ordinary vegetable. Mr. Scherlmann is experimenting with this new variety, and hopes in time to increase the size and at the same time retain the excellent quality of them. 16 CARS Studebaker POWER and LOWER PRICE ROOM still HIGHER QUALITY h.p. 7-passenger R at $885 A Fifty h.p. 7-passenger SIX at $1050 Motor 3 7-8-in. bore, 5-in. stroke.
