NEW THEATRE TO OPEN MONDAY EVENING RAMONA, A DISTINCTLY CALIFORNIA PRODUCTION, WILL BE THE FIRST OFFERING NEW GRAND IS ONE OF THE MOST BEAUTIFUL OPERA HOUSES IN THE SOUTH The New Grand theatre, at the corner of East Center and Philadelphia streets, will open its doors to the public Monday night, June 12, and will give as its first production a motion picture presentation of Helen Hunt Jackson's famous Southern California story, "Ramona." This book has just recently been filmed, and one of the foremost writers of California, after seeing it produced, said: "Ramona marks the 'farthest north' in motion pictures. Nothing has yet been done to equal it, either in America or in foreign lands. And it will be long and many a day before anything is done to come anywhere near it. Mr. Crisp has caught not only the soul of Helen Hunt Jackson's immortal story, but he has caught also the soul of California itself. California and the world will see these pictures. But what a pity it is that Helen Hunt Jackson cannot see them. That is what I thought as I sat in the Auditorium witnessing the first presentation. I have no doubt that the same State Controller Chambers shows a total bonded debt of state, cities and counties of $252,837,504. The state has unissued bonds of $15,-202,00 and many more millions of bonds are up for issuance or already authorized. Local Notes Mrs. G. M. Simpson was hostess to about twenty friends at her home on South street Saturday evening. Miss Minnie Kaufmann, through her attorney Leonard Evans, has filed a request for the dismissal of a naction which she recently brought to foreclose a $2500 mortgage against property held by S. C. and Lucie E. Robertson and Thaddeus W. Jones. Mr. and Mrs. J. B. Neff have returned from a month's visit to San Francisco and other points in the northern part of the state. Mr. Neff says the northern counties have experienced great losses from drought and frost. He reports the local walnut yield only a medium one. The supervisors of Orange county were entertained by the La Habra chamber of commerce at a banquet Saturday evening, at which 120 persons were present. There was much speech-making after the eatables were consumed. "Blossom Time," a cantata, was given by the pupils of the grammar schools at Fremont auditorium Thursday evening. Ninety children participated, and they wear garbed in styles representative of spring. The stage was beautifully decorated with flowers and forms. The entertainment was... ca or in foreign lands. And it will be long and many a day before anything is done to come anywhere near it. Mr. Crisp has caught not only the soul of Helen Hunt Jackson's immortal story, but he has caught also the soul of California itself. California and the world will see these pictures. But what a pity it is that Helen Hunt Jackson cannot see them. That is what I thought as I sat in the Auditorium witnessing the first presentation. I have no doubt that the same thought was in the mind of everyone else in the audience. And this is the greatest tribute that Mr. Crisp could receive. "The heart break, the tragedy, the deathless beauty—they are all there on the screen. I don't know how much money it cost to make these pictures, or how much money they will bring in. It doesn't matter about that. But what does matter is the fact that Ramona has been filmed and that the job was not bungled." The New Grand is unquestionably one of the most beautiful theatres in Southern California. The building was erected by Mrs. Sadie Frohman at a cost of $35,000 especially for the theatre. Although it contains two store rooms on the ground floor and sixteen office rooms in the second story, these are secondary to the theatre and nothing in its construction was sacrificed to them. The room is 62x140 feet in dimensions, has a cement sloping floor and will seat 700 persons. The chairs are in circular rows, and are twenty inches wide. The building is absolutely fire proof, and it is furnished with numerous exits. The ventilators are so arranged that the air, which is perfumed, will be changed every three minutes. It is furnished with a flooding system of lights, a new invention, and this, it is claimed, is the first time it has ever been installed in California. J. W. M. Buckles of Los Angeles, was the contractor who put up the building. The picture screen, the curtain and the decorations were put in by J. E. Minard of Chicago, who came here especially to do the work. The paper and wall decorations are beautiful, and eight bronze reflection chandeliers hang from the ceiling. In the rear is an observation gallery which will also be furnished with seats. The house is under the management of Edward Mozart. Mr. Mozart has been in the theatre business for more than forty years, and understands the Saturday evening, at which 120 persons were present. There was much speech-making after the eatables were consumed. "Blossom Time," a cantata, was given by the pupils of the grammar schools at Fremont auditorium Thursday evening. Ninety children participated, and they wee garbed in styles representative of spring. The stage was beautifully decorated with flowers and ferns. The entertainment was given under the direction of Miss Ada Brown, the musical instructor. R. Earl Nebelung spent some time last week at San Juan Capistrano, where he combined a business and pleasure trip. He is installing a gas lighting system in the Mission town. Earl says he knows there are fish there, because he could smell them, but for some reason they preferred to remain in the water. Charles Hille, now in his 81st year, is not in the best of health, and reports coming from his home on Adele street are that he is in an enfeebled condition. Mr. Hille has been a resident of Anaheim since the early seventies and for many years was engaged in the bakery business here. His many friends hope that he will recover his health. John Derkum of Laguna Beach has been arrested charged with stealing $75 worth of nets and other articles from F. F. Thorpe. A few weeks ago Derkum, who is a fisherman, was arrested on a charge of stealing lobster traps, but was acquitted. On the latest charge he was placed under $500 bond and his preliminary trial set for June 12. J. Kenyon Lybarger of this city has been appointed swimming instructor at Seal Beach for the summer season. Mr. Lybarger is a swimmer and diver of note and is making plans for many contests and other features at that popular resort. He is busy at present organizing a girls' canoe football team which will play games with all comers in the still waters of the Landing. The Methodist churches and Sunday schools of Orange county will hold their annual all-day picnic at the county park on Friday, June 23rd. Speakers of note will address the gathering, which promises to be one of the HOW DEFICITS ARE PILING UP Taxpayers will be interested in knowing that the state and subdivisions expended for the fiscal year 1914-15 ten millions more than was received. The state, counties and cities have exceeded their budget estimates and a law will have to be enacted to prevent creation of deficits in the future. State receipts for 1914-15 were $29,830,182, expenditures for all departments and activities $36,529,539. Receipts of incorporated cities were $68,724,578, and expenses amounted to $69,992,592. The counties collected $92,938,440, and expended $95,218,542. The habit of expending more than is received seems to be a general disease, not confined to any party or any one set of officials. Dick Menzel arrived in town Sunday on a visit to old time friends who were glad to see him. Dick is rated as one of the best bass instrument players on the coast and has filled many prominent engagements with some of the leading musical organizations throughout the country. Dick's solos upon the tuba have attracted attention from no less a person than Sousa, and the other great leaders, and he has been a valued acquisition to their bands at various times. Mr. Menzel while in town called on Charles Hille, who was years ago, a partner of the late August Menzel, Sr., in the bakery business. Mr. Hille gave a photograph of Dicks' father to him which was taken over forty years ago, and which Mr. Hille has had in his possession ever since. It is needless to say that he valued the photo highly. On Tuesday Dick departed for San Diego whither he went to arrange for an engagement on the vaudeville circuit. A declaration of homestead has been filed by W. A. Franz on lots 7, 8, 22, and 23, block 6, Santa Fe tract. The property is valued at $2500. Col. Hartley visited with his family at Eagle Rock the first of the week. NEW GRAND THEATRE ANAHEIM GRAND OPENING Monday--Tuesday, JUNE 12&13 Special Matinee Tuesday 2.15 p.m. CLunes MASSIVE PRODUCTION OF HELEN HUNT JACKSON'S HISTORICAL AND ROMANTIC STORY OF CALIFORNIA AND THE MISSION INDIANS "RAMONA" THE SWEETEST LOVE STORY EVER TOLD A CINEMA - THEATRIC ENTERTAINMENT THE REASON WHY IT IS THE LOVE STORY OF THE ACES MANY CALIFORNIANS WILL TRAIN AT MONTEREY Business and Professional Men Expect to Take Lessons in Military Tactics California is going to see the largest military camp thrown up within her borders since the Spanish-American war, eighteen year ago, when the tent city at Monterey, to be known as the United States Army Military Training camp for business and professional men, springs into being on July 10th. It will be a camp embracing 400 acres, sixty of which will be covered with big pyramidal tents, each tent sheltering six men, although its capacity is much greater than that. There will be about 3,000 civilians camping there, it is expected, and not less than 650 soldiers of the regular army and 100 officers will be tenting on the same ground as an instruction force for the patriotic Californians who are studying military science and tactics so that, if the United States ever invaded, they may be fit to accept commissions as officers in a volunteer army. All classes of men will be represented in that tent field—bankers, college professors, lawyers, doctors, clergymen, college and university undergraduates, farmers, mechanics, electricians, clerks and office men, publishers—men of almost three score professions, businesses and trades—will drill side by side. These men are going to Monterey as the guests of the United States. The war department is going to pay their way to and from camp; pay for their meals and furnish them uniforms and all necessary equipment. All American citizens of sound physical condition, of good character, between 18 and 50 years of age and of at PRESENT WALNUT CROPS AND MARKETS This year's walnut crop will be about 6,000,000 pounds less than in 1915 and 5,000,000 pounds more than in 1914 according to the California Walnut Growers' association. Until the recent warm dry winds which caused almost all of the last setting of walnuts to drop, a crop of 34,000,000 pounds was in prospect on account of increased bearing acreage. Now the prospects are for a maximum crop of 23,000,000 pounds. Over 95 per cent of the orders we will accept before prices are named, are now on our books. We are fully sold up on budded walnuts. The prices on bulk nuts will not be named until the growing hazards are over. Freight rates have been $1.40 per hundred pounds to all territory east of the Rockies; but at the suggestions of the association, all railways originating in California have requested the transcontinental freight bureau to reduce it to $1.25. Then the Interstate Commerce commission is expected to approve. The two objections to the Diamond Brand packages have been removed. Instead of 14 ounce cartons, full pound cartons will be used. The gelatin opening which was expected to attract buyers by allowing them to see the nuts, only made them look dingy. The gelatin will be replaced by an attractive photoengravure in colors. The guaranteed maximum price to the trade is 17½ cents each for 1916. This will be reduced if the bulk price FOREST RANGERS SURVEY HOME SITES In anticipation of the demand for summer homes, resorts, and permanent camp sites on the Plumas National forest, the forest service has commenced to survey and map tracts in the Feather River and Gold Lake regions. Lots are to be land out first in the Feather river canyon and then about the shores of Crystal, Bear, Long and Silver lakes, for many years famous among sportsmen as some of the best fishing grounds in the state. These lots will be rented for short or long periods at $5 to $25 per year, and will in many cases be available for occupancy this season. It is expected by the forest officer that a large proportion of the hundreds of campers who every year travel and camp within the Plumas forest will be glad to avail themselves of an opportunity to acquire a permanent camp. All parts of the forest are still open, however, to those who prefer to camp when and where they please. The Plumas national forest offers many attractions as a region for summer homes, such as government built trails, roads, telephone lines, forest fire protection and an abundance of fish and game, with magnificent scenery. It wasn't worth the money, but he paid it. When F. C. Edminston drove into Newport Beach one day last week he stopped his auto nearer the curb than the ordinances of that city per- triclassians, clerks and office men, publishers—men of almost three score professions, businesses and trades—will drill side by side. These men are going to Monterey as the guests of the United States. The war department is going to pay their way to and from camp; pay for their meals and furnish them uniforms and all necessary equipment. All American citizens of sound physical condition, of good character, between 18 and 50 years of age and of at least high school education or business experience equivalent to such, are eligible to join the camp which, beginning with the 10th of next month, lasts until August 5th. The men are going to be given hard, intensive military training for several hours a day. The social and vacation end of the camp will not be neglected, however. The camp ground is near the Del Monte hotel and within five minutes walk of the bay. Bathing, boating, polo, tennis, golf, horseback riding and many other forms of outdoor amusement will be open to the civilians, and while military work will, of course, come first there will be plenty of fun attached to the camp life. From present indications California will send at least 2,000 men to Monterey this summer. More than 1000 already are enrolled from seventy different cities and towns. Lehman & Osmun of the Valencia Cafe, will have their formal opening on Saturday evening, June 10, and invitations are being mailed to friends by the managers. Music and entertainers are promised, and the affair promises to be an enjoyable one. If you expect to attend the invitation suggest that you write or phone for table reservations. The Jolly Dozen club will give a social dance at K. of C. hall on Tuesday evening, June 13, Mrs. John Reuther, Mrs. C. W. Pendleton and Mrs. F. M. Eden being the hostesses. E. L. Larkin has been appointed manager of the Pacific Telephone company's office in this city. Mr. Larkin has been in the Martenet hardware store for some time. Rev. George Husser of the Evangelical church, preached his farewell sermon Sunday and has gone to Los Angeles where he will reside in the fu- The two objections to the Diamond Brand packages have been removed. Instead of 14 ounce cartons, full pound cartons will be used. The gelatin opening which was expected to attract buyers by allowing them to see the nuts, only made them look dingy. The gelatin will be replaced by an attractive photoengravure in colors. The guaranteed maximum price to the trade is 17½ cents each for 1916. This will be reduced if the bulk price of No. 1's is named below 15 cents; as for packing, packages and special advertising, 1½ cents per pound is to be charged. The freight approximates 1½ cents so the jobbers and retailers can make six cents per package, retailing at 25 cents. Package walnuts were sold last year for the first time, and the sales ran greatly beyond our expectations. One hundred per cent increase is expected this season. The last orders for packages will be taken June 20. National advertising will be done for packages in proportion to the amount of orders. Manuel Rodriguez, during a dance at Stanton Saturday night was stabbed in the back by an unknown assailant. Efforts on the part of Sheriff Jackson and his deputies to discover the man who wielded the knife were unavailing as neither Manuel nor anybody else could give any information. The wound was not fatal. Miss Anna Puchert and M. B. Tomblin made a trip to Catalina Island Sunday. Lawrence Sutherland, of the Pinal Dome company is now blowing around in a new automobile. Charles Heinrichs and Ella Nickels were among the Anaheimers who spent Sunday at Seal Beach. It wasn't worth the money, but he paid it. When F. C. Edminston drove into Newport Beach one day last week he stopped his auto nearer the curb than the ordinances of that city permitted. He was arrested and told to pungle up three dollars. When he reached home he mailed a check to the judge, and written on it was this sentence: "In payment for thirty minutes time spent in Newport Beach." George Patterson an oil well employee of Brea, was struck on the head while pulling rods from a well Friday and his skull was fractured. After receiving first aid he was brought to Anaheim for treatment. Miss Margaret Greapp of Hollywood was visiting the first of the week with Mr. and Mrs. Charles Koehler. Mr. and Mrs. A. H. Heying, Mr. and Mrs. Frank Goodrich and Miss Clara Altnow spent Sunday at San Juan Capistrano. Mr. and Mrs. Phillip Harris, accompanied by their two sons, spent Sunday at the home of William Falkenstein. Ed Schneider and wife and William Lake and wife were at Newport Beach Sunday.
