THE FIRST "The WISHES Y AND We wish to thank you for your patpleasant business relations existiinvitation to call at our Bank. "The First National of this B. C. E. HOLCOMB, President NEWS NOTES OF COUNTY Can't Let Go— There is a big question that is confronting the city trustees of Huntington Beach, and that is the expense of keeping the seals which were captured last year. No one who wanted them cared for by the city ever imagined that the expense of keeping them would amount to $75 per month or more. Many of those who favored them being kept by the city are now opposed to the cost, and think there should be some relief. But the question is, what can be done with them. They have been in captivity so long that they would now be unable to live if turned loose in the ocean. The smaller one has never eaten live fish and does not know that they are supposed to be the best food for seals. There appears to be three ways of solving the question—either sell or give the seals to someone, turn them loose, or kill them and have the skins mounted. ner the members listened to several talks for the good of the organization. M. A. Gregory, the general manager of the Mutual Orange Distributors, was present and gave a very interesting talk on matters of vital interest to the Mutual. Several members were called on for impromptu speeches. A. T. Pendleton, Frank M. Dowling, W. H. Slivers, Geo. B. Key, all well known citrus growers of that vicinity, gave interesting talks and were permeated with the spirit of cooperation and the spirit of pulling together. The following officers were elected for the ensuing year; John C. Tuffree, president; W. H. Slivers, vice-president; Chas. E. Fuller, secretary and manager. The following members of the association were elected as the board of directors: John C. Tuffree, W. H. Slivers, Samuel Kraemer, Benj. Kraemer, A. T. Pendleton, C. C. Wagner and T. Strain, Jr. United After 25 Years— After being separated for 25 years, Orange Growers Meet— The annual meeting of the stockholders of the Placentia Mutual Orange association was held at the club house of the Placentia Round Table on Tuesday, Dec. 14. Although the weather was somewhat unsettled; yet over 75 per cent of the total membership were either present or represented by proxy. This association is the largest organization affiliated with the Mutual Orange Distributors. Its membership owns over 1600 acres of citrus bearing groves in the vicinity of Placentia. Tuesday's meeting was a fitting close to the most successful season in the history of the organization. The meeting was called to order by President J. C. Tuffree. The manager then presented his report showing that the finances of the association were in splendid condition, and that the returns for fruit shipped were very high. The association is well equipped with up-to-date machinery and all fruit is packed for the members on absolute cost basis. A new set of by-laws, complete and modern in every respect, defining the powers of the board of directors more clearly, and also giving in detail the powers of the stockholders was then brought before the meeting and discussed at great length. The new set of by-laws were unanimously adopted. After partaking of a bountiful din- United After 25 Years— After being separated for 25 years, two brothers Will and John Gillisple, have found each other. Will has been working for S. E. Talbert for some time on his home ranch at Talbert, and he heard the other day that a man named John Gillisple was working on Mr. Talbert's ranch at Paulerino. Will had a brother John whom he had not seen for 25 years, so he got Harvey Studebaker to take him over to Paulerino, and there found that it was his long lost brother. Both men had been in Mr. Talbert's employ for a short time, about a year but did not happen to meet or get any trace of each other. Music in the School— Prof Thomas Hosack of the Westminster grammar school has adopted the plan of making use of music in connection with the scahsoosls swsoss connection with the school work. The school has just purchased a fine Vicrola which is used alternately by the various rooms of the school. Very frequently during a study period one of the teachers will secure the use of the machine and insert a record. The pupils seem to enjoy the music without being disturbed in the least. Mr. Hosack says that it seems to bring an air of quiet and efficiency into the school room which nothing else had accomplished. The music is especially helpful when there is a spirit of restlessness. On Thursday evening of this week Prof. Charles Alexander will More New Well— Several new importance are list of oil products field before the cording to presume promise to attract usual on account has prevailed for this as well as state.

"Promptness"—our Motto. 314 E. Center St. TIDE OF IMMIGRATION LOWEST IN 20 YEARS Only 326,000 Persons Arrived Here During Past Year The tide of emigration to the United States ebbed to its lowest point in more than twenty years during the past fiscal year, according to figures made public in the annual report of Secretary Wilson, of the department of labor. The total number of immigrant allens, the report shows, fell from 1,218,480 in the previous year to 326,700 in the period ending June 30th last. All admitted arrivals of allens immigrant and non-immigrant, were only 434,244 as compared with 1,403,801 the year before. Departures of aliens, emigrant and non-emigrant, also show a notable decrease, 1914 departures were 633,805; 1915, 384,174. The fiscal year of 1915 covers the period of sailing home of reservoirs from the beginning of the European war till June 30th last, presumably including the number sailing to join the colors in Europe, were 204,074; compared with 303,338 the previous 12 months. The non-emigrant allens, departing totaled 180,-100 for 1915 and 330,467 for 1914, showing a net decrease for all decreases to meet you President. EDGAR J.

More New Wells Several new wells of considerable importance are to be added to the list of oil producers in the Fullerton field before the end of this month, according to present expectations. These promise to attract more attention than usual on account of the quiet which has prevailed for the past half year in this as well as other districts in the state. The Standard Oil company has No. 11 on the Murphy and No. 21 on the Emery lease both near completion. They are looking very favorable, as there is a good showing of oil and gas. The same may be said of two wells in the Hole lease of the Union Oil company Nos. 4 and 5, which are also due to be finished up in short order. The Amalgamated has a well on its Hualdo property down to within a few hundred feet of the anticipated location of the oil sand. The Olinda Land company has a promising showing in its No. 15 well just completed, and is now preparing to put it on production. The oil appears to be about 18 gravity. The well is some little distance from the company's other producers. THE BIG ISSUE When ex-President Taft said recently the tariff will be the principal issue in 1916, the truth of his prophecy was generally doubted. Preparedness seems to many to be the big issue of the day. Since men speak of National defense in terms of billions, however, and since even in 1914 the tariff alone produced 40 per cent of our National income, it is evident that if we go in for preparedness there will be agitation to increase the tariff in order to pay the huge bills. Senator Norris would increase the income tax to pay for our proposed billion-dollar defenses. As the income tax last year only netted $28,253,534, this source of revenue cannot be made such huge sums. The tariff will, therefore, be with us again. It is the most persistent issue in American politics. The tariff is a militant measure. It is National defense in commercial warfare. It grew in this country out of conditions arising from wars here and abroad. It started with the beginning of the United States. The tariff will be THE issue in 1916 in the United States unless the democrats are forehanded enough to make some provision in congress this winter to pay for preparedness and to prepare for the tremendous changes in world trade when Europe drops the sword and again picks up the hammer.
