These ed in round numbers $1 for their beets from the factory alone, located in Beach, and which runs pay roll of $150,000. It be the most modern plant in the United States. The contractor who obtains for the paving of Mainington Beach announces begin work as soon as soil conditions permit work will be pushed earliest completion. The association is in a very prosperous condition. It owns its own machinery and packing house, and a reserve warehouse lot, which may be utilized when required. Many of the packing concerns throughout the country are not so fortunate, having rent to pay for their buildings. Previous to the organization of the Garden Grove walnut growers the crops were handled at either Santa Ana, Orange or Anaheim, necessitating long hauls, which added considerably to the expense of marketing. This has been eliminated, and in addition the home packing house is furnishing employment for a large number of Garden Grove people. It is fortunate for the association that it has the services of so experienced a man as C. K. Lee. Mr. Lee has been prominently identified with the walnut industry for eleven years, and knows the business thoroughly. For eight years he was with the Santa Ana packing house, one of the largest in the South. He knows walnuts and he knows how to handle help to advantage without being severe. In addition, he is a hustler, and that is what counts in the successful conduct of any business. SANTA BARBARA WALNUT FIGURES According to the report of George M.

Williams, president of the Sant Barbara Walnut Growers' association, the walnut output of Southern California will total 14,500 carlofs, valued at $4,000,000, for 1915. The crop is said to be the largest in many years. The improvement of marketing conditions are increasing profits to the grower. The use of cartons whereby 15% of the crop was marketed in one and two-pound packages has proved to be a wise measure. Three million of these packages were sold in 1915. The Santa Barbara association shipped seven carlofs of these cartons of the best grade nuts from this locality. EXTENDING POPULAR LOANS The San Diego Gas and Electric corporation is putting out a popular loan of twenty year gold notes netting $6.75 a year. These securities are in denominations as low as $50 and $100 and two million dollars worth have already been taken up. Public utilities are under state regulation as to their stocks and bond issues and the rates paid by consumers and gas and electricity. This system is being adopted by some of the best managed concerns of this character and affords a solution of two things: The citizen is protected against unlimited stock watering schemes and the corporation is permitted to earn an income. For eight years he was with the Santa Ana packing house, one of the largest in the South. He knows walnuts and he knows how to handle help to advantage without being severe. In addition, he is a hustler, and that is what counts in the successful conduct of any business. New Gusher at Brea—Coming in with a re-Brea Canyon Oil company canyon, began flowing day evening and oil run to the scene declared indication it will be erer.The force of the high over the derrick countryside. For its forts had been made flowing But it vigor workmen to fight, and time a quantity of the observed flowing down. This is the only man have of judging the as it was impossible near the scene of action that the well is situated territory and the area of oil found flowing indicate the well will one. The hole was summed up to 3500 feet and drilled. The usual method of oil by suction war for several days was deavored to get the Daniel Murphy, presi Canyon Oil company well anticipating the end within a few hours had blown in he tel was under controll flow, he declared co estimated until day NEWS NOTES OF COUNTY Will Probably be Will Contest— Though the disposal of her property, probably worth $100,000, had been almost a mania with Mrs. Dina Czarske for months, she died without a will and without giving any of it away. She and her husband came to Santa Ana many years ago, and bought property on Sycamore street north of Fourth. The property there is valued at $25,000 to $30,000. H. A. Czarske, who kept a saloon in Santa Ana years ago, died about two years ago. The property stood in Mrs. Czarske's name, and Czarske's estate was never probed. For months past Mrs. Czarske held dozens of conferences with friends and representatives of various institutions. She declared that she wanted to leave her property to the county, the city, some orphans' homee, the Salvation Army, the Ebell Club, some church. On several occasions papers were drawn up for her signature. When it got right down to signing the papers, Mrs. Czarske invariably delayed. She talked of putting money in the bank for individuals. She talked of many things, but never signed anything. "I am slow to sign my name," she said recently to a friend. "I don't want to make a will. I want to give my property away before I die, so that I know where it is going. I do not want it to go to any of my relatives." Already there are rumors of a contest over the property. At Fullerton is a Mr. Jensen or Mr. Johnson, who is to assert his claim as a nephew of Mrs. Czarske, and in Los Angeles is a man who may appear as a claimant as a relative of Czarske. Should a relative appear and ask for letters of administration he would have prior The region in which the Brea Canyon Oil company is drilling is one of the richest in the state and has produced many excellent wells. Surrounding this latest well are properties of the Columbia, the Puente and the Fullerton companies, among others. When the No., 28 well blew in with a roar that could be heard for miles, drillers and oilmen from other leases hurried to the place and assisted the workmen under President Murphy's direction in subduing the spouting oil. As the men had to work in the dark and with the overpowering gas that accompanied the oil filling the air, that well was placed under control is regarded as a feat of workmanship. The precautions taken to draw all fires in nearby boilers and the immediate extinguishment of all lights within a wide radius of the well prevented the oil from taking fire. Garden Grove Cabbage— Garden Grove will ship this season 100 carloads of cabbage through the California Vegetable Union. At the company's packing house in Garden Grove, R. Brooks has been busy for two weeks getting the crates ready. Over 7000 crates will be required for the first shipments but at the lowest estimate 24,000 will be necessary to handle the entire crop, which is unusually large and of the best quality. F. Meyers, general manager of the association, with headquarters at Fullerton, is personally looking after the movement of the immense crop. Hauling to the packing house will begin on a large scale as soon as the ground dries out. Ten men will be employed in grading and crating the cabbage for shipment. The cabbage is sold f. o. b. and the price is good. REMOVAL NOTICE The Orange County Nursery and Land Co., formerly of Fullerton, is now situated on North Los Angeles St., Anaheim We offer 250,000 Home-Grown Fruit Trees, also full line of Ornamentals, Floral Designs, Etc., at lowest prices. Phones—Anaheim 228-R and Anaheim 1436. with which to carry on its relief work about the county. In fact, the ambulance is now ready for use except for the painting and finishing touches to the equipment, which work is being done in the new county garage. To Towner & Hartley, belongs the honor of preparing the ambulance for use. The material was supplied them in the shape of an Overland chassis, formerly used by the Highway commission, and an ambulance body purchased from a Fullerton company. The body is of Cunningham design. Towner & Hartley, who also built the body of the newest city fire truck, leghened the frame and wheel-base of the chassis, and mounted thereon the ambulance body. After this work was completed, the car was delivered to the county garage, where it is being painted for use. As there is no garage at the hospital, the ambulance will be "I don't want to make a will. I want to give my property away before I die, so that I know where it is going. I do not want it to go to any of my relatives." Already there are rumors of a contest over the property. At Fullerton is a Mr. Jensen or Mr. Johnson, who is to assert his claim as a nephew of Mrs. Czarske, and in Los Angeles is a man who may appear as a claimant as a relative of Czarske. Should a relative appear and ask for letters of administration, he would have prior rights over the public administrator. Receive $1,000,000 for Beets— The sugar beet reisers around Huntington Beach had an unusually good season in 1915. These farmers received in round numbers $1,000,000 in cash for their beets from the Holly sugar factory alone, located at Huntington Beach, and which runs with an annual pay roll of $150,000. It is declared to be the most modern plant of its kind in the United States. The Los Angeles contractor who obtained the contract for the paving of Main street at Huntington Beach announces that he is to begin work as soon as the weather and soil conditions permit, and that the work will be pushed through to the earliest completion. Under this contract, Main street will be paved from the business section north to the city limits or within a quarter of a mile of the Holly sugar factory, with a branch running out Seventeenth street to connect with the Orange county boulevard system. This will be one of the two entrances from the boulevard system to the ocean front through Huntington Beach. Trustees Ordered Out— City officials, who have been using a room at the Seal Beach Inn for the transaction of municipal business, must find other quarters. This was impressed upon them by R. Losee of Los Angeles who had bought the building from P. A. Stanton, founder of the city. Agitation for the building of a city hall has started. The city trustees have learned the necessity for hiring a city engineer. Attorney Burt pointed out the large amount of beach improvement work going in as a reason for the retention of an engineer, at lease on part pay, as a matter of economy. A sewage and water system is also to be installed. A franchise for the erection of a roller coaster over certain streets and alleys along the ocean front will be advertised for sale. Fought With the Boers— Al Dewaar, president of the Holland Construction company which recently completed the East Chapman avenue bridge, commanded a regiment for the Boers in the South African war against England, and is a man of unusual experiences. Mr. Dewaar is a native of Holland, the brave little colony from which set out that courageous colony that settled in the Boer country of South Africa. He went to the Boer country to engage in railroad construction work, which he followed 14 years. The war broke out with England and he threw his fortune with the Boers, serving two and one-half years, or until the close of that conflict that cost Great Britain so heavily. Mr. Dewaar was a commandant, taking part in many engagements. When the war was over he was taken prisoner and, with many of his fellow countrymen, was deported, they being taken by transports to Holland. Some years later he came to America, where he has followed the business of bridge and railroad construction, now being at the head of the Holland Construction company, with headquarters in San Diego. Since completing the Orange bridge, the concern has been awarded a contract to build a large bridge in Imperial county, the work to begin as soon as weather conditions are favorable. County Clerk Calls for Help— County Clerk Williams, who has had many strange and unusual propositions put up to him as chief of the marriage license bureau, had a new puzzler to solve when a man who looked like a Japanese, and a woman who appeared to be a Mexican, presented themselves for a license. Williams was mindful of that provision in the state law which prohibits the marriage of a Mongolian and a white, and he immediately made careful inquiry. He found that the man was Chun Yung Woon, aged 41, a native of Korea and a Mongolian. The woman was Temetea Ernandez, 42, a usually large and of the best quality. F. Meyers, general manager of the association, with headquarters at Fullerton, is personally looking after the movement of the immense crop. Hauling to the packing house will begin on a large scale as soon as the ground dries out. Ten men will be employed in grading and crating the cabbage for shipment. The cabbage is sold f. o. b. and the price is good. The will of Noah Palmer, pioneer banker of Santa Ana, was filed for probate Tuesday by Attorney E. E. Keech, representing Lucien Shaw, who was named in the will as executor. Lucien Shaw is now a supreme court judge. The will was written on October 14, 1889. The petitioner, Judge Shaw, walves his right to be executor, and asks that letters be issued to G. J. Mosbaugh, who had charge of Mr. Palmer's business affairs for many years. Mr. Palmer died at the age of 96. The petition states that the estate is valued at $100,000. Under the will the estate is to go to two daughters, Mrs. Emma Mosbaugh and Miss Lottie E. Palmer, both of Santa Ana, another daughter having been provided for before the writing of the will. TO BUILD FIRE TRAILS Forest Ranger Stephenson of El Toro will start this week upon the construction of a fire trail on the ridge between Bell and Trabuco canyons. He will be assisted by Forest Ranger Clark, a ranger from the northern part of the state who has been assigned to Stephenson's division for the winter. Thirteen and a half miles of fire break and fire trail were completed before the storm. This work was done on the Hot Springs-Los Pinos and Trabuco ridges. The rangers' new camp is established at the Narrows in the Trabuco canyon, to which place they were able to drive by wagon last week. Stephen- the city. Agitation for the building of a city hall has started. The city trustees have learned the necessity for hiring a city engineer. Attorney Burt pointed out the large amount of beach improvement work going in as a reason for the retention of an engineer, at lease on part pay, as a matter of economy. A sewage and water system is also to be installed. A franchise for the erection of a roller coaster over certain streets and alleys along the ocean front will be advertised for sale. New Gusher at Brea— Coming in with a roar, a well of the Brea Canyon Oil company in the Brea canyon, began flowing after dark Friday evening and oil men who flocked to the scene declared there was every indication it will be a heavy producer. The force of the gas shot the oil high over the derrick, spraying the countryside. For several days efforts had been made to start the well flowing. But it vigorous advent drove workmen to fight, and after a short time a quantity of the liquid fuel was observed flowing down the canyon. This is the only method the drillers have of judging the flow of the well, as it was impossible to take lights near the scene of action. The fact that the well is situated in very rich territory and the apparent quantity of oil found flowing are thought to indicate the well will prove a large one. The hole was sunk to a depth of 3500 feet and drilling was stopped. The usual method of starting a flow of oil by suction was resorted to and for several days workmen had endeavored to get the oil to the surface. Daniel Murphy, president of the Brea Canyon Oil company, remained at the well anticipating the coming of the oil and within a few hours after the well had blown in he telephoned the flow was under control. The extent of the flow, he declared could not even be estimated until daylight. Protest Against Movies— The Japanese association of Santa Ana protested against the showing of "The Cheat" in Santa Ana. They more than protested. They asked that the city trustees take action to prevent the showing of the film play, scheduled for a Santa Ana theater. The trustees referred the communication of the Japanese association to the censor commission, the members of which are Rev. Paul E. Wright, Mrs. A. J. Crookshank and J. F. Adams. The protest of the Japanese association was signed by T. Ochi, president and T. S. Ban, secretary. It declared that the play misrepresents the Japanese and arouses race hatred and has induced race riots. "In the name of justice, humanity and peace," the association asks for immediate action. Ambulance for County Hospital— The Orange county hospital is soon to have an automobile ambulance before the storm. This work was done on the Hot Springs-Los Pinos and Trabuco ridges. The rangers' new camp is established at the Narrows in the Trabuco canyon, to which place they were able to drive by wagon last week. Stephen- Dodge Bros. and Hudson AUTOMOBILES Racine, Goodrich, U.
