HISTORIC SCENES AT NEW GRAND THEATRE DAUGHTER OF THE DON, SOUTH ERN CALIFORNIA STORY ON MONDAY AND TUESDAY NEXT LARGE AND INTERESTED CROWDS ENTERTAINED NEARLY EVERY NIGHT Presenting for the first time outside of Los Angeles a correct visualization of the romantic and historic period of 1846 and 1847—when a wealth of history was in the making in the Southland, "The Daughter of the Don," the ten reel historic photodrama of early Southern California, produced by the Monrovia Feature Film company, will be presented at The New Grand for two days beginning Monday, September 18. Picturesque Los Angeles and Southern California was the melting pot in which the great Golden State was made and the story of its making is one of the most absorbing historic romances ever written. The time of which the picturization treats—that of the Mexican war period—offers many a thrill and climaxes, although the picturization is in no sense a spectacle. Veracity has been the keynote in its construction and historical happenings are photographed with chronological correctness. "The Daughter of the Don" is the Southland's own story. Fremont, Stockton and Kearney as well large, and included much agricultural land, and intending entrymen and selectors called for restoration. As a result there were three restorations in 1902, thirteen in 1903, and twelve in 1904. Then there was a quiescent period, followed by one restoration in 1906 and six in 1907. One of the early withdrawal orders was not canceled until 1910, and another, involving several townships, was left outstanding until 1912. Both were in territory which has not proved to be oil bearing. Meanwhile members of the geological survey, department of the interior, working in the California fields became impressed with the need of the oil operators for protection against agricultural filings during the drilling period, and in 1907 a large area of California was withdrawn on their recommendation. Similar withdrawals were made in 1908 and 1909, including lands in Oregon and Louisiana, as well as California. These withdrawals, although essentially similar to the early land office orders, were more closely confined to prospective oil territory; they probably included less agricultural land; the number of oil operators benefited had greatly increased; large withdrawals of coal and phosphate lands had accustomed the public to the withdrawal idea; and perhaps most important, field examinations with a view to classification were carried on as rapidly as the funds available would permit. The lands shown by geologic surveys to be barren of oil were promptly restored; those offering possibilities of oil were retained in withdrawal. John Ziegler and daughter, Miss Elsie were visitors in Los Angeles Friday. Manager Lehman of the Valencia Cafe was transacting business in Los Angeles Thursday.

Veracity has been the keynote in its construction and historical happenings are photographed with chronological correctness. "The Daughter of the Don" is the Southland's own story. Fremont, Stockton and Kearney as well as Kit Carson loomed large in the nation's history and the parts they played in freeing California from Mexican dominion will be faithfully depicted on the screen in this marvelously beautiful production the photography of which may only be correctly described by the use of superlatives. The old Los Angeles plaza, the Fort Hill stockade, bits of quaint Santa Barbara and Monterey have been resurrected in order that the action of the photo drama shall be as correct as was possible to make it. Battles were fought in and about Los Angeles plaza and at San Gabriel where Pico and Flores were decisively defeated. Thousands of men were employed in the filming of these scenes that should be seen by every resident of the Southland who has interest in the country in which he lives. A charming and romantically told love story welds the ten reels into a production of perfect continuity. Tonight will be presented "The Eternal Question," with Mme. Petrova in the principal role. This distinguished actress has never been shown in a better picture, and it gives her an opportunity of appearing in her famous costumes. Mr. and Mrs. Sidney Drew will also be on tonight in a good comedy entitled "His First Tooth." Friday and Saturday night and Saturday matinee will be presented "The Secret of the Swamp," with Myrtle Gonzales as the star, also the Universal weekly of new topics of the day. The second installment of "Liberty" will be shown at these three performances. This is an interesting story of life today along the Rio Grande, showing the activity of the Mexican bandits. Marie Wolcamp as Liberty Horton from the U. S. A., has a splendid role, and presents it to perfection. Sunday, September 17, a five reel drama, "The Shop Girl," will be presented by Edith Storey. Also the Mutt and Jeff comedy cartoons, and the monkeys, Nanoleon and Sally, will geologic surveys to be barren of oil were promptly restored; those offering possibilities of oil were retained in withdrawal.

Miss Ida Heying of Los Angeles, was visiting Miss Ruby Cassou last week. Mis Mary Tubach spent Saturday and Sunday with friends in Fullerton. H. W. Braden and wife, who have been motoring through the mountain states and along the coast, have stopped at Oakland where they expect to locate. Heinle telegraphed for his tools last week, which means that he is going to work again. Lawrence Sutherland's car was stolen in Los Angeles last Wednesday. He had driven up in company with his father. The police were notified and next day reported that they had found the machine, but a lap robe, an overcoat and a sweater were missing. A "Get acquainted" party was given by Miss Dorothy Rockwell at her home southwest of town Wednesday. The afternoon was spent in fancy work, refreshments being served in the evening. Mrs. Fred Kurtz of Garden Grove gave birth to triplets at a Santa Ana hospital Thursday. Two of the children are girls and the third is a boy. Mr. and Mrs. Kurtz are ranchers at Garden Grove. Jimmy Sutherland, manager of the Pinal Dome in this city is again back at his desk after a short vacation, and is busy "herding" his fleet of trucks over the county.

As a matter of fact, the first oil land withdrawals of any consequence were made in 1909 and were based on petitions from oil operators who wished to be protected against the filing of agriculural entries covering the lands they were prespecting. The oil placer act had been in operation about three years, the oil industry of the west was just entering on the remarkable activity which it still maintains, and demands came from practically every new field for the withdrawal of lands from agricultural filling so that drilling might be carried on unhampered. In 1900, 1901, and 1902 more than twenty withdraway orders were issued by the general land office covering large areas in California, Oregon and Wyoming. After this withdrawal fever came a reaction. The withdrawn area was at his desk after a short vacation, and is busy "herding" his fleet of trucks over the county.

ANAHEIM GAZETTE—THURSDAY, SEPT. 14 WAR PICTURES SHOWN AT THE GRAND AVIATOR HALL PRESENTS ACTUAL FILMS OF THE BLOODY CONFLICT IN EUROPE SPENT A YEAR WITH GENERAL VON HINDENBERG IN HIS DRIVE AGAINST RUSSIA After twenty-three months spent in Europe, most of the time on the battle fronts, Robinson Hall, the New York aviator, is now showing the war pictures taken by Capt. F. E. Kleinschmidt on the battle fields. Mr. Hall travels with the films and lectures while the pictures are being shown. Capt. Kleinschmidt spent two years in the trenches on three fronts the Russian, German-Austrian and Italian. Only two sets of these pictures were taken, one being deposited in the Royal Army museum at Vienna, the other brought to California. The most interesting of the scenes were taken in Poland and Galicia while Von Hindenberg was driving the Russians back into their own country. Mr. Hall was also with Von Hindenberg, spending a year with his army. He was with him on his marvelous campaign from Riga to Romania, where he drove the great Russian army ahead of him. At different times he was attached to the staffs of Von Hindenberg, Von Falkenhayn and Archduke Frederick. He was with the Germany army at the capture of Warsaw. Mr. Hall was making a tour around American firm has received orders for five million artificial limbs from the different nations engaged in the war. Comparing the aeroplanes of Europe and the United States, the military planes of Europe cost from $20,000 to $30,000 while the machines used by our army cost only $6500 to $7500. Our flyers would be absolutely ineffective in case of war. The Zeppelins Germany is manufacturing now, cost from one million to a million and a half dollars. They are 1050 feet long, eight and a half stories high and carry as high as forty tons of explosives. A crew of thirty men is carried by them. “There are 16,000 airmen in service in the various armies of Europe, and yet it is safe to say that the use of flying machines for military and naval purposes is only in its infancy,” said Mr. Hall. “The war has reduced flying to such a science that only 2 per cent of the aviators are injured in any way outside of actual combat. As a result of the war the art of traveling in the air has been reduced to an exact science. After this war is over America will have a chance to see things along these lines that will astonish them. I am hoping that our military authorities will wake up to the tremendous importance of aviation in the strategy and tactics of modern war and will equipe our war and naval establishments in a degree proportionate with the needs of the times. Such a thing as conducting a battle without an ample supply of aerial scouts is now and will forever be impossible. “European powers now use planes running from 100 to 350 horsepower. These planes have attained a speed range of from 35 to 165 miles per hour. It is just as important to have a plane throttle down to low speed in order to get accurate observations as it is to have a plane of terrific speed. The aviator’s most important duty is that of securing information. Scout SUPREME BRAND ALWAYS TOPS MARKET POPULARITY OF OUR SUPERIOR FRUIT ENHANCES VALUE OF ORANGE LAND HERE ANAHEIM FRUIT ASSOCIATION WILL WIND UP PROSPEROUS SEASON WITHIN A MONTH The Anaheim Citrus Fruit Growers’ association will finish its season within a month, having in the neighborhood of eighty cars yet to ship. The total shipments this season will aggregate seven hundred cars. The quality of the fruit has been excellent and the prices good. Anaheim Supremes, the association’s fancy brand, have topped the market in nearly every instance where they have been offered in the eastern markets, and the Mother Conony brand has not been far behind. Manager Sandilands says he has a large stack of letters received this year from persons in all sections of the United States who have kept tab on the market quotations, enquiring on what kind of soil the Anaheim Supreme is grown, and how the prices on orange groves range in this region. The adoption of the Supreme brand was a wise move. Under it nothing but a superior grade is packed, and it has given Anaheim the reputation of being the foremost orange growing section in the United States. The price received for this brand has greatly enhanced the value of orange land in Von Hindenberg was driving the Russians back into their own country. Mr. Hall was also with Von Hindenberg, spending a year with his army. He was with him on his marvelous campaign from Riga to Romania, where he drove the great Russian army ahead of him. At different times he was attached to the staffs of Von Hindenberg, Von Falkenhayn and Archduke Frederick. He was with the Germany army at the capture of Warsaw. Mr. Hall was making a tour around the world and happened to be at Vienna when the war broke out. He was studying the possibilities of aviation for war purposes, and seizing the opportunity that presented itself joined the Austrians and was given a commission by Archduke Frederick. He immediately went to the front and got into the thick of it. Although he was not wounded he says his nerves were finally shattered by the effects of the heavy gunfire, consequently he resigned his position and came home to recuperate. His stories of the havoc and destruction in the war zone are appalling. The explosion of a shell from one of the great guns, he says, will destroy all life within 200 feet of it. At the siege of Warsaw, the German army was handicapped because it was almost impossible to move their big guns through the swampy country, consequently they were compelled to wait until lighter ones were manufactured and sent them. As soon as they were supplied with the smaller guns they made an irresistable drive toward the city and the Russians were forced to evacuate it. At Verdun the greatest struggle in all history, the Germans are fighting in French territory, 150 miles from the border. He predicts that the war will continue from three to five years longer, and that neither side will win a decisive victory. Both sides are constantly filling up the decimated ranks with fresh troops, and neither as yet shows any signs of exhaustion. Speaking of the losses he declares that four million men have been killed, eight million wounded, and six million women and children have been made desolate and homeless. He estimates the cost of the war so far at 76 billion dollars. One remarkable circumstance is the large percentage of blind among the wounded. Thousands of soldiers have had their feet frozen off while standing in the trenches. One Amer- a thing as conducting a battle without an ample supply of aerial scouts is now and will forever be impossible. "European powers now use planes running from 100 to 350 horsepower.

It is just as important to have a plane throttle down to low speed in order to get accurate observations as it is to have a plane of terrific speed. The aviator's most important duty is that of securing information. Scout work, destruction of railway bases, bridges, bases of military supplies or otherwise crippling the movement of troops and the direction of artillery fire. In Europe the airman is always kept in touch with his base by wireless, and have furnished in many instances valuable services to the contending armies and navies when they might have been led blindly into a terrific defeat going against greater odds. "I have offered my services to the secretary of war in case I should be needed on the border or in Mexico, and am holding myself in readiness for instant response should the occasion arise. Mr. Hall showed his pictures at the New Grand Monday and Tuesday nights and at Tuesday's matinee. Large audiences greeted him and listened with much interest to his thrilling lecture. Manager Mozart was fortunate in securing him as this was the second place they have been shown. A committee composed of Sterling Price, Frank Walker and R. L. Draper representing sugar beet growers of the lowland has asked the supervisors to change the county ordinance regulating the amount of weight that can be carried on ordinary wagons. At present 700 pounds per one-inch width of the tire is the limit. The committee asked that the weight be raised to 800 pounds. The argument was made that at present the law does not allow a rancher to haul on the paved highway as much tonnage as the sugar beet teams haul out of the fields. Miss Alice Pannier entertained "The Joly Octo" club Saturday night. The club is composed of members of the Anaheim high school graduating class of 1915. Seven young ladies were present. Supper was served at 10 o'clock. Mr. and Mrs. H. Stern, accompanied by Mr. and Mrs. W. J. Wallop, left Saturday for Seven Oaks, returning Monday evening. Mr. and Mrs. E. S.

Returning in the evening they spent the balance of the day at the home of Mr. Douglas, where they ate dinner and enjoyed an evening of music. George McPhee returned Friday from Sacramento where he attended a state convention of the county sealers of weights and measures. In accordance with a decree of the state superintendnet of weights and measures endorsed by the convention Mr. McPhee has asked the board of supervisors and the trustees of the various cities of Orange county to pass ordinances fixing the standard weight of loaves of bread at 12 and 24 ounces. This step was taken because the master bakers' association recently declared in favor of reducing the size of the loaves. McPhee says he has nothing to say about the price the bakers shall charge, but in Orange county the loaves must be full weight.
