Volume XXXXVI
PROFITABLE YEAR FOR SUGAR FACTORY
MORE THAN TWENTY MILLION POUNDS IS THE PRODUCT FOR THE PAST SEASON
CAPACITY OF PLANT WILL BE INCREASED TO ONE THOUSAND TONS PER DAY
Twenty million four hundred and forty-six thousand, two hundred pounds of sugar is the amount extracted by the Anaheim Sugar Company from 10,000 acres of land during the past season, according to the figures given out by President A. R. Peck at the annual meeting of the stockholders Monday. In addition to this a bi-product of 134,630 bags of molasses beet pulp was produced.
For the first time during its five years of operation the stockholders have received a dividend. Every year the annual report showed a good surplus on hand, but the stockholders cease now it would be impossible for European imports to influence our markets before the next crop is sold.
Messrs. A. R. Peck, R. H. Multer, C. M. Warner and E. T. Stimson, the out of town directors, attended the meeting and were exceedingly well pleased that the big plant emerged from the flood without damage. While completely surrounded by raging water it stood high and dry.

10,000 acres of land during the past season, according to the figures given out by President A. R. Peck at the annual meeting of the stockholders Monday. In addition to this a bi-product of 134,630 bags of molasses beet pulp was produced.
For the first time during its five years of operation the stockholders have received a dividend. Every year the annual report showed a good surplus on hand, but the stockholders were content to turn down the dividend and use it in making extensions, improvements and additions which increased the value of the plant. This year, however, the surplus was so large that it was possible to make all the contemplated improvements and also declare a dividend of 10 per cent on a capital stock of $547,800.
According to President Peck's report, submitted to the stockholders on Monday, the company used the product of 10,000 acres of land during the past season. The campaign opened on July 29, and closed November 15, making 110 days of actual work, without a shut down. 79,164 tons of beets were sliced during that period, for which the growers were paid $466,528.04. The average run per day was 720 tons, and the largest average was during the month of September, when 777 tons per day were sliced. The average test of the beets was 17.87, which was the lowest figure during the five years of the factory's operations. The average purity was 81.05. Granulated sugar to the amount of 204,642 bags was produced, and the entire product has been sold at a good price, but that item is only for the eye of the stockholders.
Ten thousand acres of land was signed up by the company for last season's campaign, but that acreage has been slightly increased this season. The acreage for the 1916 crop is already in seed, and while the heavy floods of the past winter created havoc in various quarters very little damage was sustained by the sugar factory. The question of seed has been a matter of anxiety since the outbreak of the war, as it was mostly procured from Germany, but the 1916 crop is planted, and the seed for the 1917 crop is on the road, coming from Vladivostock, the Siberian port on North Pacific.
While the stock holders were able to cut a juicy melon this year, a sufficient surplus was retained to make fairly appointed of the pre-hunters at fairs were the two card parties given by Misses Sophie and Marie Rimpau at their home on Palm street on Wednesday afternoon of last week and Tuesday afternoon of this week. On Wednesday the decorations were green and white in honor of good Saint Patrick. At 5 o'clock a delicious collation was served at the long table in the dining room where the guests were seated. The color scheme was dainty and artistic, green and white tulle and green satin ribbon being used effectively. A harp of peach blossoms which formed the center piece gave the only touch of color. Tiny green harps were presented to each guest as favors. Enchiladas, rolls, potato chips and coffee were served, followed by ice cream moulded in the form of shamrock and clover leaves and cakes with pale green iceing.
Six card tables were arranged in the drawing room at which Five Hundred was played during the afternoon. Mrs. Welborn Wallop won the first prize, a sewing bag, Mrs. Yungbluth, the second, a pincushion, and Mrs. Hartung was awarded the consolation.
On Tuesday afternoon the Misses Rimpau were assisted by Mrs. F. C. Rimpau. The decorations were also green and white. Five Hundred was played and at 5 o'clock the collation was served.
Mrs. A. L. Lewis was awarded the first prize, a pincushion, Mrs. Bennercheldt took the second, a pair of embroidered towels. Miss Dora Zeyn captured the booby.

While the stock holders were able to cut a juicy melon this year, a sufficient surplus was retained to make some extensive improvements this spring before the campaign opens. Among them will be the extension of the plant to a capacity of one thousand tons of beets per day, adding one-fourth to its present capacity. A new Belgian lime kiln will also be established, and new filter presses installed.
The old board of directors was re-elected at Monday's meeting. They are A. R. Peck, C. M. Warner, J. A. Knapp, J. S. Howard, Richard Melrose, R. H. Multer and E. T. Stimson. The stockholders are so well satisfied with conditions that they re-elected them without opposition.
Two years ago the Anaheim sugar factory was tottering on the ragged edge of uncertainty. The Underwood tariff law had reduced the protective duty on sugar to one cent per pound, and provided that even that insufficient shield against cheap foreign production should be taken away on the first of May, 1916. The Anaheim factory, as well as all other beet sugar factories which continued to run, began that campaign with the expectation of olsing money, but the conflict in Europe broke out, cutting off importations from the war ridden beet sections, consequently prices held, and even advanced. Congress has rescinded its action retaining the one cent duty and the war in Europe continues, consequently a prosperous campaign is expected in 1916. Should the war wood, Mrs. J. J.

HOME AGAIN FROM SHORT VISIT TO ISLANDS
ANAHEIM TOURISTS SAW MANY THINGS OF INTEREST IN OUR HAWAIIAN POSSESSIONS
MADE ROUND TRIP ON STEAM-SHIP NORTHERN PACIFIC IN FIFTEEN DAYS
After an absence of fifteen eventful days, during which they sailed four thousand miles on the bounding billows of the Pacific ocean, saw all the sights of Honolulu, Hawaii's beautiful capital, witnessed a celebration of Washington's birthday in which seven thousand of Ungle Sam's Cosmopolitan troops participated, visited the volcano of Kilauea and looked down into the sulphurous depths of its crater, inspected the wonderful sugar and pineapple industries of our island possessions, Mr. and Mrs. C. O. Rust and Mr. and Mrs. J. J. Dwyer are at home again, each one perfectly satisfied.
THUS FAVORED. Messrs. Rust and Dwyer brought home copies of "The Morning Smile," printed on board the Northern Pacific, and delivered to passengers each morning. The paper is shy of local and society dope, but it contains the latest telegraph news from all sections of the world. It contains dispatches from Washington, San Francisco, New York, Tokio, Cairo, Berlin, London, Copenhagen, Petrograd, etc., and relates all the great happenings in the world. The news is received by wireless, and the paper announces that the operator on board will send radio messages for passengers to any points in Alaska, Canada, the United States, Mexico and the Hawaiian Islands.
Mr. Rust reports the sea rather rough for the Pacific ocean, and states that the ladies had a touch of seasickness, but recovered as soon as they sighted the California coast.

POPULAR INSTRUCTOR IS VICE-PRINCIPAL
Miss E. Kate Rea of This City Receives Honorable Promotion at Santa An High School
Miss E. Kate Rea, B. L., M. L., daughter of Mr. and Mrs. J. B. Rea of this city, has been a member of the faculty of the Santa Ana high school for five years past, has been elected vice-principal of that educational institution. The faculty comprises 40 teachers, and student enrollment numbers 800. Previous to taking up her work in Santa Ana Miss Rea taught for several years in the grammar and high schools of Anaheim. She has been trustees of the Anaheim public library since its foundation, and has always taken an active part in the work. It is largely due her efforts that the library has steadily grown and reached its present high standard. Miss Rea received her degrees of Bachelor of Letters and Master of Letters from the University of California, and is recognized as one of the foremost educators of the state. Her promotion to be vice-principal of the Santa Ana high school is an honor deservedly conferred upon her, and she has been the recipient of many congratulations upon the part of her host of friends throughout the county.
The promotion places added responsibilities upon her, but her efficiency and capability as an instructor are such that she will undoubtedly acquit herself with added distinction in her new position.
DEATH SUMMONS AN OLD-TIME CITIZEN
Dominick Lieb, Resident Here Since 1885, Passes Away
The death of Dominick Lieb, which occurred at his home on North Claudina street last Thursday, removes one of the oldest residents of the city. Mr. Lieb has been ill for several months and his death was not unexpected. The funeral was held Saturday at St. Boniface church, the Southern California on irrigation, is an enthusiastic advocate of the proposition to control the flood water of the Santa Ana river by impounding it in basins at the head of the river and its tributaries. While in Anaheim on Saturday attending a meeting of the board of directors of the Anaheim Union Water company, for which he is attorney, Mr. Keech discussed the question at some length and gave his reasons for favoring the project.
While Mr. Keech is attorney for the committee of fifty citizens organized for the purpose of formulating a protection district, or devising ways and means for the earliest possible relief, and while he is bending his best energies to the assistance of the men engaged in the work, he realizes that a larger system is necessary, and believes that the tricounty proposition will eventually be adopted, but it will require time to perfect the work. In fact, Mr. Keech's vision extends even further than this. He is looking forward, confidently, to the day when all the water that comes down out of the Coast range mountains will be bottled up by man and used to transform the millions of acres now growing only the cactus and the sage brush into arable and fertile valleys, populated by prosperous and happy people. The land has already been provided by nature, Providence furnishes an abundant supply of water each year, and it remains for man to combine the two, make the unien productive, and the desert to rejoice and blossom as a rose.
A tri-county organization, according to Mr. Keech, is the most sensible method of solving the problem now before the people and his opinion is upheld by all the competent engineers who have studied the situation. Impounding the water in reservoirs or sinking it in gravel would serve a twofold purpose. It would prevent overflow in the valleys below, and would conserve the water for use on the arid lands. Los Angeles county recently constructed a system of impounding dams in Haines' canyon, and the January floods proved the wisdom of the promoters. Notwithstanding the fact that the heaviest floods in years were raging throughout the county, the lands below the dams did not suffer from inundation. Moreover, the water that would have rioted unbridled through the fertile lands below, cerating havoc, is now conserved above and will be used as a source of profit.

Dominick Lieb, Resident Here Since 1885, Passes Away
The death of Dominick Lieb, which occurred at his home on North Claudina street last Thursday, removes one of the oldest residents of the city. Mr. Lieb has been ill for several months and his death was not unexpected. The funeral was held Saturday at St. Boniface church, the remains being taken to Los Angeles for burial in Calvary cemetery. Mr. Lieb was 77 years and 7 months of age. He was born in Germany, but has been a resident of Anaheim for more than thirty years. In the early days he was engaged in the mining business, but gave it up years ago. He leaves a wife, and one son, Joseph, who is an employee at the city power plant.
Mr. Lieb was born in 1838. He came to America in 1854, coming to Anaheim in 1875. He did not remain here but engaged in mining and prospecting in other localities, returning here occasionally. In 1885 he settled in Anaheim permanently, and has been a resident of the city ever since.
The passing of Mr. Lieb removes another old-timer who has witnessed the development of this section from its virgin condition into a productive and prosperous community. Mr. Lieb enjoyed the esteem of all his friends, which included everybody in Anaheim.
The pupils of the Yorba school, under the direction of Mrs. F. J. Schierlman, their teacher, gave an old fashioned box supper at the school house. The affair was a great success from every standpoint. Ben Yorba as auctioneer, received the sum of $47.75 from the sale of boxes which will be used by the school athletic club.
Mr. Keech is assisting the committee in its endeavors to form a district in this section of the county. He agrees with the others that something should be done at once to dike the low places and prevent breaks in the bank, until the greater project can be put in motion. Confining the swollen current to a prescribed channel without permitting it to slop over is a difficult project and would entail yearly expenses. Besides it is uncertain. The district work which the committee is trying to perform now would not interfere with the tri-counties project but could be made a part of it.
Mr. Keech thinks one dam could be built at Bedrock canyon, near the Anaheim Union Water company's works. Water could be diverted from there to the San Joaquin ranch and elsewhere, and would add millions of dollars to the value of Orange county property.
County School Supt. Mitchell has received election supplies to be sent to the various school districts of the county, except Santa Ana, for school district elections to be held on Friday, April 7. Each of the grammar schools is to elect one new trustee. A few of the districts are to elect two. In each of those districts a trustee has signed and the vacancy has not been filled. Each of the high school districts, except Santa Ana, is to elect two high school trustees.
BERRY BOXES MUST
BE FULL WEIGHT
State Sealer Johnson and County
Sealer McPhee Issue Ultimatum
Full net weight, and uniform size boxes, must be the rule throughout California during the coming berry season, according to State Superintendent of Weights and Measures Johnson. This ruling will be enforced in Orange county by County Sealer George McPhee, and when you buy a box of berries you will be sure of getting an uniform package. The weights are to be from 8 ounces to two pounds, and will be uniform throughout the state.
The ruling was made by Superintendent Johnson after a thorough investigation of the berry situation, and it had been found that berry containers had been growing smaller and smaller, and false bottoms nearer and nearer the top.
Under the new ruling each crate must be marked with the number of boxes and the net weight of each box, so that the purchaser will know positively the amount of berries he is buying per container.
Also in the ruling, just received by Mr. McPhee, it is provided that hereafter packers of olives in cans must mark the net weight of the fruit on

W. B. WILLIAMS CHOSEN
MEMBER OF COMMITTEE
Popular County Clerk Will Assist in Managing Coming Campaign
On the committee selected to conduct the campaign in the Southern section of the state, by the republican state convention held at San Francisco last Saturday, appears the name of County Clerk W. B. Williams. Mr. Williams represented Orange county at the convention and took a prominent part in the proceedings which resulted in the selection of 26 uncompromising republicans to represent the party at the Chicago convention in June. His selection as one of the managers of the campaign is an indication that there will be no compromise with the enemy in this region, but that the Orange county republican vote will be cast for republicans.
Mr. Williams is one of the best known men in Southern California. Through his position as county clerk he has met and made the personal acquaintance of almost every man in the county, and he will be able to line up a solid vote for the regular republican nominees. He is an indefatigable worker and will give his personal attention to the important matter confronting the voters during the campaign which ends Wednesday, May 3. He has a wide circle of friends among republican leaders throughout the state and is the best qualified man in the county to handle this important election.
The other members of the committee for the Southern counties are L. F. Moss, W. W. Mines, P. A. Stanton, W. M. Bowen, W. M. Garland and Leo Youngworth of Los Angeles, F. C. Roberts of Long Beach, and C. A. Selich of San Diego.
Dubbel was walking up toward the business section from his home on West Center, apparently in his usual health, and after crossing the street and reaching the sidewalk in front of the Anaheim National bank he suddenly collapsed. Employees in the bank saw him fall, and rushed to his assistance. He was carriel into the lobby of the bank and a phone message sent for Dr. Truxaw, who responded as speedily as possible, but medical aid was of no avail. Those who first reached the stricken man say he died within two minutes after he was taken into the bank. A sudden attack of heart failure was given as the cause of his death by the doctor.
Joseph Dubbel was one of Anaheim's best known and esteemed citizens. He was in his 74th year and had been a resident of this city for seventeen years. He was the father of Rev. F. J. Dubbel, rector of St. Boniface church, and of Miss Henrietta Dubbel, head of St. Joseph's academy. He also leaves a wife, and another son, Teter Dubbel, who lives at San Bernardino. For years he has been the sexton at St. Boniface, and has rung the bell for all services, and toled it for all funerals. There is no man in the church whose passing would leave a greater void than his. On the street he had a pleasant greeting for all, and he will be missed and mourned by others aside from his family and church circles.
Mr. Dubbel has had a momentous career. He was a soldier in his younger days, not only serving his time in the German army, but participating in two wars. He was born at Alx-la-Chapelle in 1842. He was in the Prussian army during the Austro-Prussian war, and participated in the decisive battle of Königgratz on July 2, 1866. For conspicuous bravery in that sanguinary struggle, which was one of the greatest recorded in history, he was presented with the iron cross by King Whilhelm, afterward Emperor Wilhelm, the first. He also served through the Franco-Prussian war, and participated in all the historic battles between France and Prussia. The survivors of Kroniggratz hold an annual reunion on the date of the great battle, and Mr. Dubbel was always hoping to return to Europe and once more greet his old comrades, but always postponed the trip until the next year.
The funeral will be held at St. Boniface church tomorrow at 9:30 a.m.
THEATRE PARTY
A delightful theatre party was given by Mr. and Mrs. Fred W. Zeppfeld and sisters on Monday evening at the Orpheum in honor of their house guests, Mr. and Mrs. Wesley Conner of Pittsburg, Pa., who are in California on their honeymoon.
The party numbering nineteen motored to Los Angeles, leaving here about 6 p.m. After enjoying the performance at the theatre the guests were entertained at luncheon at a cafe, where a special table decorated with masses of violets was reserved for them. The menu of chicken patties, rolls, coffee, ice cream and cake was enjoyed after which the return trip was made, the party arriving home about 2 a.m.
Mrs. A. J. Lawton of Santa Ana, was in the city on Saturday afternoon attending a meeting of the Ebell club at Odd Fellows hall. Mrs. Lawton is president of the Southern District of Federated Woman's clubs, comprising the counties of Orange, Riverside, San Bernardino, San Diego and Imperial. In this district there are sixty clubs, and a membership of more than 5000. She will attend a district meeting at Fullerton on Saturday, and has engagements for meetings in the near future at Riverside, El Centro and Del Monte.
