GOLDEN PRODUCT BRINGS ANAHEIM FAME BOARD OF TRADE HEARS FLATTERING REPORTS CONCERNING MOTHER COLONY BRANDS ORANGES AND WALNUTS FROM HERE EAGERLY SOUGHT IN EASTERN MARKETS Unusual interest was taken in the board of trade meeting Monday night by citizens of this city and outlying sections, and everyone of the fifty gentlemen present was heartily in favor of the proposed plan for river protection. President Herman Noll, of the finance committee, made a flattering report on collection of funds, but inasmuch as the committee's labors have not as yet been finished, he refrained from giving out the amount collected, although it was intimated a munificent sum has been added to the treasury. Co., J. H. Whitaker, E. N. Cook, J. A. Fay. In reference to the repair of the western approach to the Olive bridge, Supervisor Wm. Schumacher stated that he had gone ahead and fixed up the approach. Mr. Schumacher stated that while the repairs rightfully came under the supervision of Engineer Finley, he took it upon himself to avoid further delay and made the necessary repairs, and may have to take the money out of his road fund. Several gentlemen present said the work had been well done and the approach is now in good shape. In reference to the establishment of a permanent upkeep cemetery at a site north of the old burial grounds, the special committee recommended that the board of trade endorse the plan, but not in any financial way. The old cemetery it was said within the next year will be entirely sold out, and it is imperative that a new plan be devised. Local men have in view the creation of the permanent upkeep plan which will no doubt be launched. Secretary Duckworth read a communication from the Salt Lake Railway, in which it was stated representatives of that company would be in attendance at the noon luncheon at the Valencia cafe today, for the purpose of meeting the citizens of Anaheim in a friendly way. Douglas White representing the railway will President Herman Noll, of the finance committee, made a flattering report on collection of funds, but inasmuch as the committee's labors have not as yet been finished, he refrained from giving out the amount collected, although it was intimated a munificent sum has been added to the treasury, and more is to come. President Noll says he and his co-workers are determined to swell the board of trade membership to 300 within the next sixty days, and judging by the way new members are coming into the local civic organization, his expectations will be fully realized. Many ranchers and orange and walnut growers are joining, as the board of trade is doing a good work for the advancement of Anaheim and its environs, and everybody in this city and vicinity will be greatly benefited by cooperation. Many important matters come up before the board of trade, and Anaheim has the reputation of having progressive business men who are ever on the alert to advance the city's best interests. Much good comes from working in harmony and new life has been embued into the organization as the people generally believe in union there is strength. There yet remains much to be done to further promote the interests of this matchless valley and it would appear to the layman that the board of trade is on the right track. Charles Eygabroad, who just returned from his eastern trip, made a short but highly interesting talk upon incidents during his travels, but he gave his auditors an eye opener when he said that Anaheim Supremes and Mother Colony brand of oranges are being eagerly sought by buyers throughout the Atlantic seaboard markets. Mr. Egyabroad, in his travels through thirty-one states, made an especial effort to learn conditions of the market first hand, and while he was aware that the local fruit was the best sellers, he himself was surprised to learn how the golden products of Anaheim were winning popular favor there. As an instance he narrated the fact that one dealer in Boston will handle none but the Mother Colony brand. The easterner has worked up a private trade in that quality and will have none other. The oranges are in great demand, and the reason for it all is because the fruit is absolutely the Secretary Duckworth read a communication from the Salt Lake Railway, in which it was stated representatives of that company would be in attendance at the noon luncheon at the Valencia cafe today, for the purpose of meeting the citizens of Anaheim in a friendly way. Douglas White representing the railway will make an address, and Messrs Peck, and Sloane and other railway officials will be present. It is confidently believed that the Salt Lake will have trains running through this city withing the next six months, and the visit of the railway officials today is looked forward to with interest by members of the board of trade and citizens generally. The entertainment committee reported entering into a contract with the Foley & Burk Amusement company whereby that organization will put on a tent show here Oct. 24-28. The establishment of public lavatories came up for discussion and many present favored installing these necessary adjuncts at once. It was pointed out that many strangers are within our gates every day, and much inconvenience at times is encountered by them by the lack of accommodations. In the city of San Diego it was stated ideal places are arranged beneath the sidewalks centrally located, and well kept, and it was recommended that similar places be installed here. The site at the library, it was suggested, would afford a proper and convenient location. The matter is in hands of the committee on public improvements, who have been instructed to work in conjunction with the city trustees, looking toward the locating of the lavatories. Many of the citizens present were firm in their belief that these public conveniences should be provided for without delay and it is not at all improbable that Anaheim will keep up with the procession of all progressive towns and provide them. Messrs. Ward, Shaw and McCord were appointed as a committee to look after conventions and the gentlemen will use their best efforts to annex some of the gatherings that are held in Southern California. This city now has ample accommodations for entertaining visitors and the committee will see Anaheim has a chance to dispense some of her wholesouled changed, the Valem discovered, along brands, and the incisive scientific attention angens now that o brands sent daily local booster sug immediately ship a box of Anaheim market first hand, and while he was aware that the local fruit was the best sellers, he himself was surprised to learn how the golden products of Anaheim were winning popular favor there. As an instance he narrated the fact that one dealer in Boston will handle none but the Mother Colony brand. The easterner has worked up a private trade in that quality and will have none other. The oranges are in great demand, and the reason for it all is because the fruit is absolutely the best. Anaheim Supremes in years past, and at the present time, are toping the eastern markets, bringing higher prices throughout the east than all others. This section is ideally adapted to the successful propagation of the Valencia orange and a bright and prosperous future is in store for orchardists who raise them. The Valencia orange growers have a gold mine. The same condition of affairs exists as to walnuts, and it has been demonstrated that the Diamond brand of nuts sent out from the local association command the best prices, because they are first class. One speaker told of an instance where an unscrupulous broker had acquired a consignment of good walnuts here, but had filled the sacks in the middle with an inferior grade of culls and had attempted to palm them off to the unsuspecting trade. Of course such underhand practices are hurtful and have a tendency to disrupt the market, and did a great injustice to this locality. The Anaheim association ships none but the best, properly labeled, and when buyers in the eastern markets acquire them they may rest assured the product is right. The local association is now in competent hands and its products command fancy prices. New members were proposed and accepted as follows: W. H. Ward, J. Neip, C. O. Servatious, Sperry Flour Messrs. Ward, Shaw and McCord were appointed as a committee to look after conventions and the gentlemen will use their best efforts to annex some of the gatherings that are held in Southern California. This city now has ample accommodations for entertaining visitors and the committee will see that Anaheim has a chance to dispense some of her wholesouled hospitality to any conclave that perchance may come this way. From points of attendance the meeting of the board of trade Monday night was the largest held in many months and much local interest was taken in the deliberations of the meeting. The board of trade is composed of many business men and all are working for the best interests of the city and surrounding territory. There is room for many more and officials desire to greatly enlarge its scope of usefulness and thus desire that every business firm in town should be represented. Caommittees are now busily at work rounding up new recruits and as the dues are only $5 per year, the committee say that they will not take no for an answer. Let everybody join! President Noll made the startling statement that while east he was told by a particular friend of his in La Crosse that many years ago he had bought some oranges shipped from this city by a broker, who now is a city official, and that the fruit was so bad that he (the easterner) would not to this day handle any more fruit from this section. This was a real thriller, and many gentlemen sat upright and took notice. Mr. Noll again said that this happened many years ago. During that time little or no attention was paid to orange culture, and perhaps the local broker may have slipped over a bad lot. But now things have changed, the Valencia discovered, along with brands, and the in scientific attention anges now that our brands sent daily local booster suggest immediately ship a box of Anaheim would no doubt disforte entertained from this section to the best.

Two tickets were in the field, one favorable to the formation of the district, the other launched by the opponents. It was understood that should the former be elected the work as planned would be pushed rapidly to completion, unless hampered by injunction, and should the opposing ticket win the district was doomed. Charles Eygabroad of Anaheim, W. W. Dungan of Garden Grove and Dr. Dundan's name. Those defective ballots were not counted. The vote in the three precincts was as follows: Anaheim—total vote 960; Eygabroad, 665; Dungan, 611; Deming, 658; Yeoman, 262; Cole, 263; Rosselot, 256. Garden Grove—Total vote, 496.

Opponents of the district, especially non-resident property owners, are still endeavoring to defeat the project. Service was made Monday on County Clerk W. B. Williams and the board of supervisors for the hearing of a petition of writ of review in the matter of the formation of the storm water district and Monday, Sept. 25, is the date set for the hearing. An order to show cause why the writ should not be granted was attached to the petition. It was signed by Judge Conrey of the appellate court in Los Angeles. The petitioners are Susanna P. Bryant, Fred H. Bixby, I. W. Hellman, Artesia Land Company and the Los Alamitos Sugar company. The attorneys are Gibson, Dunn & Crutcher and E. W. Freeman. District Attorney West will represent the defendants. The petition declares there are 15,000 residents in the district and a majority are opposed to it.

The big establishment moved across the street last week, and is now located in the new Cassou block on West Center, between Lemon and Los Angeles streets. There was not much to move, however, for such a large establishment, for the bulk of the old stock was disposed of at special sale, and the new store opens with practically a new stock in all lines.

Dungan of Garden Grove and Dr. Lee C. Deming of Stanton, were the candidates endorsed by the Anaheim board of trade, and composed the ticket favorable to the district, while the opponents put forward L. C. Yeoman of West Anaheim, W. J. Cole of Hansen and F. P. Rosselot of Garden Grove. These men were strongly opposed to the district. Eighteen hundred and fifty-five votes were cast in the three precincts of the district, 960 of them being in Anaheim, 496 at Garden Grove and 390 at Centralia. Notwithstanding numerous automobiles were busy all day hauling people to the polls the vote was a light one, many people being indifferent as to the outcome. Both sides were running cars and had men on the streets electioneering for the different candidates. The people in the west, who voted at Centralia school house, were almost unanimously opposed to proceeding with the work, only eleven favorable votes being cast out of a total of 390, but Anaheim and Garden Grove both gave majorities for the proposition large enough to overcome this heavy negative vote, and the anti ticket was deefated by 147 majority. In Anaheim the vote in the forenoon was light but toward evening there was a rush, and at 7 o'clock when the polls should have closed a large number of unpolled citizens were standing in line. It was 7:30 before the last voter deposited his ballot. Throughout the three precincts there were few scattering votes, the three candidates on each ticket running pretty evenly, but in Anaheim more than forty persons misspelled Mr. changed, the Valencia orange has been discovered, along with other choice brands, and the industry is being given scientific attention. There are no oranges now that can compare to the brands sent daily from this city. A local booster suggests that Mr. Noll immediately ship his eastern friend a box of Anaheim Supremes, which granted was attached to the petition. It was signed by Judge Conrey of the appellate court in Los Angeles. The petitioners are Susanna P. Bryant, Fred H. Bixby, I. W. Hellman, Artesia Land Company and the Los Alamitos Sugar company. The attorneys are Gibson, Dunn & Crutcher and E. W. Freeman. District Attorney West will represent the defendants. The petition declares there are 15,000 residents in the district and a majority are opposed to it. It also declares the district will cover only a small area of the country subject to the overflow of the Santa Ana river, and argues that the work should be done under one plan that would afford protection to the entire area within the flood zone. The petition also claims that the action of the supervisors was not legal inasmuch as they failed to take testimony relative to the signatures on the petition for the formation of the district. It also says the notices of intention of the board for a hearing on the formation of the district were not sent in accordance with the law as they were taken from the 1916-17 tax roll, which was not complete. The list of names, it declares, should have been taken from the 1915-16 assessment roll. ALL CANDIDATES RECEIVE ENDORSEMENT Republican County Committee is Unanimously for Entire Ticket The Republican County Central Committee met at Santa Ana Tuesday and organized by the election of Walter Eden chairman and S. M. Reinhaus secretary. After the new organization had been perfected R. Y. Williams presented a resolution endorsing all the republican candidates on the November ballot which was endorsed unanimously. Following is the resolution: Whereas, all of the primary elections and conventions have now been held, and nominations of the republican party have been regularly made for president, vice president, United States senator, representative in congress, and state offices, including state senator and assemblyman, Whereas, some of the said nominees have been in the past affiliated with the republican party and some with the progressive party; and Whereas, there seems to be a general feeling among all republicans of both wings of the party that all of said nominees should be supported by Falkenstein department store since it moved into its new quarters. The big establishment moved across the street last week, and is now located in the new Cassou block on West Center, between Lemon and Los Angeles streets. There was not much to move, however, for such a large establishment, for bulk of the old stock was disposed of at special sale, and the new store opens with practically a new stock in all lines. Everything is of the latest. The new store is a model for convenience. The place was planned and designed by Mr. Falkenstein, and built in accordance with his ideas. It is roomy, and each department is segregated from the balance. All goods are within easy reach, thus saving the time of the customers as well as the clerks. While all department have been added to and the lines completed a large additional stock is now on the road. One of the features of the store is the two large plate glass show rooms on each side of the entrance, where the models and samples can be examined by the ladies passing without entering the store. It is one of the most complete establishments in Southland, and is a credit to Falkenstein. It demonstrates that the business men of this city are keeping up with the country, and can offer their customers just as good service as can be procured in the large cities. Mr. Falkenstein came to Anaheim seventeen years ago and entered immediately into the mercantile business. He began in the Metropolitan building on West Center street, just below Lemon, afterward moving to the Mitchell building at the corner of Center and Los Angeles. Increasing business made it necessary to add to the building on two or three occasions. Seven years ago he purchased interest of his partner, I. Asher, and has conducted the business alone since then. When it finally became necessary to further enlarge and improve the quarters Mr. Falkenstein contracted with John Cassou for a portion of the new block which he contemplated building. This occurred nearly a year ago, and the result is that he now has a store equal to any thing of the kind in Orange county. Mr. Falkenstein is preparing for a grand opening for the purpose of introducing the new establishment to the people of Anaheim and the neighboring towns and country, but the date has not yet been fixed. It will be within a few weeks.

There are no oranges now that can compare to the brands sent daily from this city. A local booster suggests that Mr. Noll immediately ship his eastern friend a box of Anaheim Supremes, which would no doubt dispel any idea here-to entertain by him that oranges from this section were anything but the best. President Noll stated that he has his eastern friend well on the way to conversion as to oranges and that now all is well. The secretary stated that he is in need of more advertising literature, as a constant demand is being made for such. It is the intention to have about 25,000 folders issued in the near future. Much inquiry is being made concerning Anaheim and surrounding territory and good advertising literature is the best way to enlighten these intending settlers as to our advantages. The matter of dangerous railway crossings at outlaying points was brought up and relief asked. There are two very dangerous places in the section southwest and it was stated that better signals should be provided at once. However, as those matters have to come before the railroad commission the local organization saw no way to eliminate the danger. Committees will take the matter up with the rail road commission and seek to have better facilities installed to warn unsuspecting travelers at these grade crossings. The yearl toll of life through these accidents is appalling and many heart aches through loss of loved ones may be prevented by better protection to human life. J. A. Knapp reports 1600 acres planted to chile peppers in the Garden Grove district and says the crop there this year should sell for $300,000. Mr. Knapp shipped over $25,000 worth of chiles from his ranches the past season. All of the crop around Garden Grove will be dried at home this season and be shipped direct to the East, nothing being handled through the middle man. The season will open at about 10 cents a pound. Attorney Leonard Evans, acting for M. E. Bever, has filed complaint for the foreclosure of a mortgage for $2000 held by Bever on property west of this city owned by William F and May Durr of Los Angeles. Mr. Falkenstein is preparing for a grand opening for the purpose of introducing the new establishment to the people of Anaheim and the neighboring towns and country, but the date has not yet been fixed. It will be within a few weeks. FIRST 1916 WALNUTS SHIPPED FROM SANTA ANA Two Carloads Went Out Monday and Two More Tuesday By sending two carloads of the 1916 walnut crop out of Santa Ana Monday evening for Chicago, the growers of the Santa Ana Valley Walnut association are registering a big scoop over other growers and associations in the state, for the local shipments are the first to be made of the new crop from California this season. Not only that, but the shipments establish a new local record, being seven days ahead of any walnut shipments from the Santa Ana house in previous years. The local association also shipped two carloads of nuts to the eastern market Tuesday. The nuts are of excellent quality, better than for two or three years past, it is reported. The 1916 crop will exceed a thousand tons, according to estimates of Secretary O. H. Burke of the local association, and will probably be in the vicinity of 1300 tons. Seventy-five tons have already been delivered to the association's packing house, which is working to full capacity with about fifteen employees. A notable gain in membership for ZETTE.

For several years Santa Ana has shipped more walnuts than any other point in the world, and that this record will be maintained is shown by the constantly increasing walnut acreage in sections adjoining this city. SCHOOLS OPEN WITH INCREASED ATTENDANCE 273 in High School and Junior College, More than 700 in City Schools One thousand kiddies, big and little kids, neatly dressed and cleanly washed, lined up at the various schools Monday morning, prepared to begin the 1916-17 term. There were 258 registrations at the high school, and 273 in all. In the city schools the enrollment was over 700, but Prof. Van Derveer was unable to give the exact number. The increase over the opening day last year was 10 per cent, each of the three buildings showing a large enrollment. In the high school the registration according to classes was: Nineteen Freshman A's; 67 Fresh- WORK BEGINS ON BROADWAY PAVING PLOW STARTS TEARING UP THE SURFACE ON EAST BROADWAY MONDAY MORNING CONTRACT FOR WESTERN END AND INTERSECTIONS TO BE LET TONIGHT After three years of bickerings, disputes, disappointments and defeats, residents of East Broadway who have advocated the paving of that thoroughfare, fought for it and refused to give up the struggle, were rewarded by seeing the work actually begun Monday morning. Not much work was accomplished that day, but a steam plow was driven down the center of the street and a deep furrow ripped in its hard surface. The L. A. Paving company which secured the job has been accumulating a small mountain of sand in its yards on Santa Ana street. This sand is being excavated from the bed Monday morning, prepared to begin the 1916-17 term. There were 258 registrations at the high school, and 273 in all. In the city schools the enrollment was over 700, but Prof. Van Derveer was unable to give the exact number. The increase over the opening day last year was 10 per cent, each of the three buildings showing a large enrollment. In the high school the registration according to classes was: Nineteen Freshman A's; 67 Freshman B's; 11 Sophomore A's; 66 Sophomore B's; 39 Juniors; 56 Seniors. Carlyle MacIntyre has taken M. O. Kneeland’s place in the English department, Mr. Kneeland having resigned recently. A freshman and sophomore tying contest has been inaugurated at the high school, and following are the rules governing it: Time—Two 15 minute halves. Five minutes intermission. 1. Each boy to be given three strips of cheese cloth. 2. No rough-house methods employed—violator expelled from the field. 3. No tying done outside of field. Violation will cause participants to begin anew at center of field. 4. When a contestant is bound and delivered to inclosures at either end of the field he is out of the game and cannot re-enter. 5. Game is to be decided by the most number bound and delivered to the inclosures. Umpires—Seniors and Juniors; Referee—J. A. Malcolm; Timers—Messrs. Prince, Clayes and Hargrave. BAND CONCERT The following is the program for the band concert to be given this (Thursday) evening at the library park. March—National Emblem, Overture—Torquato Tasso. Perfect Day, Guard Mount. Overture—Sky Pilot. Variations—Old Kentucky Home. Grand American Fantasia and Star Spangled Banner. AVIATOR BOQUEL REENGAGED The sky trips of Joe Boquel that were witnessed by thousands recently at Seal Beach will be repeated with added thrills commencing next Sunday. Advocated the paving of that thoroughfare, fought for it and refused to give up the struggle, were rewarded by seeing the work actually begun Monday morning. Not much work was accomplished that day, but a steam plow was driven down the center of the street and a deep furrow ripped in its hard surface. The L. A. Paving company which secured the job has been accumulating a small mountain of sand in its yards on Santa Ana street. This sand is being excavated from the bed of the river near the Olive bridge, and the work is serving two purposes—deepening the channel of the river and helping to reclaim one of the city’s principal thoroughfares from its present condition of dust, and its winter condition of mud. Mr. Werdin moved his paraphenalia down from Whitier last week in preparation for beginning this work, and he expects to push it as rapidly as possible. On the 13th of July the L. A. Paving company was awarded the contract for paving East Broadway, also the contract for the street intersections. Their figure to the property owners was 10.24 cents per square foot, and for the street intersections 10 cents. There are 163,878 square feet to be paved by the real estate owners, and 37,473 square feet of intersections which the city will pay for. The cost, therefore, to the individuals is $20,-320, and to the city$3747, making the total $24,067. The S. C. Contracting company of Los Angeles, underbid Mr. Werdin for the West Broadway contract, his bid being 10.68 while Werdin’s was 10.74. The board held up the matter and appointed a committee of investigation and on hearing its report at a subsequent meeting rejected the Contracting company’s bid and gave the contract to the L. A. Paving company. This resulted in the matter getting into the superior court where it was held up by injunction, and in order to clarify the situation Mr. Werdin refused to sign the contract and the trustees readvertised for bids. The new bids were opened on Monday night, Aug. 29, and it was found that George H. Curtis was the low man, his proposal being 10.50 per square foot, while the L. A. Paving company had raised its figure to 11.24. The trustees decided not to let the contract until tonight, when the bids for the intersections will be opened and both contracts awarded. AVIATOR BOQUEL REENGAGED The sky trips of Joe Boquel that were witnessed by thousands recently at Seal Beach will be repeated with added thrills commencing next Sunday afternoon with flights every night and Saturday and Sunday afternoons. Boquel is a man of very few words, but it was culled from those few, the assertion that during this engagement at Seal Beach he intended to make a greater record for himself than ever before. On every flight he springs some new trick that causes the crowd to opn their eyes appreciatively, and to renew their vows to never miss a Boquel flight. Only Boquel himself knows what he will do when he steps into his machine and prepares to go, in fact he has more tricks up his sleeve than a first class magician. Ample train service is being arranged for on the Pacific Electric to handle the crowds. County Clerk Williams and his deputies Friday completed checking up the signatures to the referendum petition brought to secure a county wide vote on the order of the board of Supervisors establishing the United Storm Water District. The clerk will certify that 1930 names of bona fide voters are on the petitions. If a referendum is possible, only 1750 names are needed. Williams will make his report to the board of supervisors on September 13, and the board will doubtless call on the district attorney for an opinion as to whether or not the order is one that can be subjected to a referendum. $60 FOR CARRYING A GUN Dr. Charles L. Porter of Long Beach was before Recorder Heathman of Santa Ana Wednesday on a charge of carrying a revolver. Officer Pond was the cause of the doctor's perturbation. The man was riding a mortorycycle from Modjeska's toward Long Beach when his machine balked on Main street near Fourth. As the driver was bending over the machine, Pond saw a hump on his hip that looked like the bulge of a revolver. Pond made inquiry. "Yes, I've got a revolver, but it is not loaded," said the man, who immediately began telling Pond that he was a physician and had a permit to carry a revolver at Long Beach. "Tell that to the city recorder," said Pond. Dr. Porter failed to convince City Recorder Heathman that the gun was being carried lawfully. Pond opened up the revolver, and found every chamber loaded. "Sixty dollars or thirty days," said Heathman. Dr. Porter argued. He suggested a suspended sentence, and no fine. He suggested a reduction of fine. In the end he gave the recorder $20, all he had with him, and promised to send the rest. Mr. and Mrs. F. W. Vermeulen spent Sunday visiting friends in Santa Ana.
