CARNIVAL COMING TO ANAHEIM NEXT WEEK UNDER AUSPICES OF BOARD OF TRADE FOLEY & BURK WILL BE HERE FIVE DAYS MANY NEW ATTRACTIONS ADDED BY THIS POPULAR COMPANY SINCE LAST EXHIBITION HERE Bear in mind, gentle reader, that Anaheim is to have a carnival next week, and that something worth seeing will be offered to the public. It will open just after breakfast Tuesday morning, and will close at midnight Saturday. The carnival is to be given under the auspices of the Anaheim board of trade, and that body of leading citizens is responsible for the statement that nothing will be shown that could shock the sensibilities of the most puritanical citizen, or the modesty of the most straight-laced maiden lady. The Foley & Burk carnival company has been engaged, and while that aggregation will furnish the principal part of the entertainment there will be some stunts engineered by home people that will add to the galley of the occasion. Foley & Burk are well known to the people of Anaheim and the surrounding country, as they have appeared here on two former occasions. They brought the dog-eating ORANGE COUNTY NOTES Wardrope Disappearing: Joe Cruz of Delhi is not a flashy dresser, but he usually wears good clothes. Some one who also likes to wear good clothes and who doesn't have the taste or money with which to buy them, keeps Cruz guessing on his wardrobe—that is Joe is never certain he will find his good clothes when he wants them. Some weeks ago a light fingered, envious gent broke into Cruz's home and pursued a suit of perfectly good duds and a perfectly good pistol. Tuesday night this "some one," presumably, broke into the Cruz home and stole Joe's shirts and neckties. Fortunately Joe was in town attending the carnival and wore his best suit of clothes, else they might have come up missing. The one responsible for Tuesday night's robbery must have had a key to one of the doors, for every door in the house was locked when he returned home. Apricot Growers Organize: With a view to interesting officials of the Orange County Cured Fruit Association toward joining a state wide organization of the dried apricot industry, R. E. Harrington, a representative of the Growers Information Bureau of San Jose, was in this county last week. Mr. Harrington called on Secretary H. Z. Adams of the Orange county association, to present plans and purposes of the proposed organization. Other officials including President Stutsman of Tustin, Directors Walter Greenleaf and Frank Greenleaf of Santa Ana, Director J. W.

Foley & Burk are well known to the people of Anaheim and the surrounding country, as they have appeared here on two former occasions. They brought the dog-eating Igorotes here, the big snakes, the fat girl who weighed 640 pounds, the observation balloon, the merry-go-round. In fact they had twenty-one attractions among them being Sappho. But since their last exhibition here Foley & Burk have added a number of attractions to their show, and it is said to be much better than ever before. Among them is Donald McGregon, of Scotland, the biggest man in the world. He is very nearly nine feet tall and lacks but a few inches of being as large as Gollah of Gath. As an offset to this giant they also have Miss Chico, the smallest horse in the world. Her rider is a small monkey, as she is too small to bear the weight of a human being. If you can look at snakes with a clear conscience you can see many of them here, among them being the largest in captivity. He is a python, his name is Jumbo, and he was captured in the island of Madagascar. Jumbo has continued to grow since being brought into civilization. If he had been full grown when snatched from his native soil his captors would have had a difficult time conquering him. The Siamase Twins are also among the attractions. These are not Cheng and Chang, who were brought into prominence by P. T. Barnum half a century ago, but Guadelupe and Josephine, who were born in Havana, Cuba, less than four years ago, and are bound together precisely as the famous men from Siam were. There is a quartet of Boreno orangotangs. Whether they bring melody with them from their native wilds, or sing United States ragtime music, the program doesn't say, but they are worth seeing. There is also Billy Pilgrim, a man who has been deprived of all his limbs, but who is still an artist, and the Newlyweds with their first born add entertainment to the occasion. There is a dog, monkey and pony circus, and Miss Trixie, the equine with the human brain, will do a variety of tricks. People who scoff Banquet Fund Goes to Belgium— The Women's Club of Fullerton held the second meeting of the year at the High school clubrooms Wednesday, with Mrs. W. T. Brown, Mrs. H. W. Daniels and Mrs. Hartley Daniels as hostesses. Mrs. Willoughby Rodman, chairman of the California Committee for the Relief of Belgians, spoke on the urgent necessity of relief being sent to that destitute nation of 9,000,000 souls. The committee is striving to have California feed Belgium for only one day, which costs $70,000, as a Thanksgiving offering. No one who hears Mrs. Rodman's plea can fail to realize somewhat the terrible conditions in Belgium. She is personally acquainted with conditions, having visited the country. It has been the custom of the Woman's Club to celebrate the anniversary of the club with a banquet in November. After the appeal of Mrs. Rodman, the committee which has the anniversary in charge held a conference and presented a motion that the club deny itself a banquet this year and send the $65 usually expended to the Belgians. The motion was unanimously carried. A committee also began work for per-organization of the dried apricot industry, R. E. Harrington, a representative of the Growers Information Bureau of San Jose, was in this county last week. Mr. Harrington called on Secretary H. Z. Adams of the Orange county association, to present plans and purposes of the proposed organization. Other officials including President Stutsman of Tustin, Directors Walter Greenleaf and Frank Greenleaf of Santa Ana, Director J. W. Broomell of Orange and Director Ray Billingsley of Villa Park have also been or will be consulted. Mr. Harrington says that the northern end of the state was pretty thoroughly organized already, though the movement was only started last spring. It is hoped to get the entire state organized for the next apricot crop. Under the aims of the new association the apricot industry should receive a material boost, both as to market increase and higher prices. These conditions the organization plans to accomplish through three principal channels, national advertising, better packing and standardized prices.

A receivership would undoubtedly affect prices, owing to the extent of the area involved. Government attorneys stated they intended to ask for the receivership as soon as an oil expert of the bureau of mines files his report, covering six months' investigation. The matter will be up before Federal Judge Bledsoe. The Southern Pacific will resist the motion. This will compel the railroad to put oil in the open market instead of through a subsidiary company operating the oil fields. It has been the custom of the Woman's Club to celebrate the anniversary of the club with a banquet in November. After the appeal of Mrs. Rodman, the committee which has the anniversary in charge held a conference and presented a motion that the club deny itself a banquet this year and send the $65 usually expended to the Belgians. The motion was unanimously carried. A committee also began work for personal monthly subscriptions to the fund. Burglary at Fullerton— With either a pass-key or a pair of delicate pliers to turn the key in the door, a lone burglar broke into the office of the Fullerton Lumber Company Monday night, rifled the cash drawer and escaped with $1 in small change. An effort was made to break into the safe, which was unlocked when the office was closed for the night, but the burglar, through clumsy work, locked instead of opened it. Working on the north side of the building, the burglar first ripped the screen from a window and attempted to pry the window open. It resisted his efforts and he turned his attention to the door. Completing his work the thief passed out the way he came in, taking the key with him and locking the door. Marshal French inclines to the theory that the theft was the work of a youth who apparently was a novice. Finger print experts examined the marks left by the burglar and declared that they had been made by a youth. Marshal French is investigating a report that a youth was seen loitering about the lumber company's office Sunday and again on Monday afternoon. Mr. Wilson has us out of war, yet democrat in the mid-down who has said peace, he has kept tax." So spoke O'well known attorney of San Francisco business men. "He kept us out threatened us with wanted a war with of belligerents having American lives, one spect, on American commerce." "I say that only two or of a nation is more or can a nation exert wise that nation care respect of the world." Wise asked if Kglum would have any people for election, sisted the German.

Sighting the man peering into a window of the Fay Beldon home, adjoining his home, Davis dashed outdoors. Hearing his approach, the man fled and finally outdistanced his pursuer. This is the fifth or sixth time that the man has been observed along that street, according to Marshal French. Twice he followed Mrs. H. C. Herron, who operates a confectionery stand with her husband, and peered into the window of her home. He was detected once, his face against the window, as Mrs. Herron raised the blind and put out the light. Installing New Pumping Plant— The Santa Ana Valley Irrigation Company has bought a fifty-acre ranch in the Santa Ana canyon above Peralta from Frank True of Santa Ana. This ranch was developed by True and was a fine property until it was hit by the flood last winter. The flood turned many acres of splendid orchard into river bottom. That same flood washed out several hundred feet of S. A. V. I. Co. canal, which had to be replaced with a flume. It has been the intention of the directors of the company to protect the flume by putting in about 1000 feet of piling, for which it would have had to get a right of way from True. It also desired to do other protective work on the place, the directors considered his proposition reasonable and the deal was closed. The company will plant willows between the piling and the flume and EMPLOYES TO SHARE IN THE PROFITS UNION OIL COMPANY WILL DIVIDE DIVIDENDS WITH THE MEN That the employees of the Union Oil Company will share in the profits of the company this coming February is now an assured fact. Two months ago an announcement from the head office of the company at Los Angeles stated that the company would allow its employees to share in the company's profits, the amount each employee is to receive to be based on the length of service. The amount of the fund to be set aside for payment to the employees will be determined upon the net profits of the company for the past year. At the present time it seems quite probable that the employees will receive a 10 per cent dividend, i.e., 10 per cent of the sum of the total wages earned during the past year. The opportunity for the employees to share in the profits of the company is thoroughly appreciated by every one of the 3000 employees, and shows that the big oil corporation is not heartless. The National Products Company has about completed its plant for the making of casing head gasoline, turned the gas into the new lines Friday and will test them out thoroughly before starting the plant. The National Products Company is using a new and secret process, known as the absorption method of making gasoline. The process has never been used in the west, and is being watched with considerable interest by all oilmen of the state. The officials of the National of felt roofing has been developed at the Forest Products Laboratory and is now being used commercially by cooperating mills, according to an announcement made by the Forest Service. It is stated that, In these mills, from 20 to 30 per cent of the rags is being replaced by waste bark and that the quality of the finished product is equal to that manufactured solely from rags. Members of the Forest Service who have been conducting the experiments say that the utilization of the bark will make it possible to effect a considerable saving in the manufacture of felt roofing. According to the census of 1909, over 698,000 tons of hemlock bark produced each year in the United States. After the tannin is extracted this bark is used for fuel purposes for which it is said to have a value of 60 cents per ton. It has been the intention of the directors of the company to protect the flume by putting in about 1000 feet of piling, for which it would have had to get a right of way from True. It also desired to do other protective work on the place, the directors considered his proposition reasonable and the deal was closed. The company will plant willows between the piling and the flume and canal, and by owning the property can do more effective work than would otherwise be possible. An important feature in the purchase is the fact that it gives the company another splendid location for a pumping plant, which at some future time may be established on the True ranch. Injured In Gas Explosion— An accident that occurred with the starting up of the National Products Company's new gasoline plant at Brea was close to proving fatal to two of the employees. The boilers connected with the plant had been fired up and running some little time when one of the workmen noticed that the fire in one of the boilers was not burning. The fire had been out long enough to allow a large volume of gas to escape from the feed pipe. On lighting the furnace under the boiler the accumulated gas exploded with terrific force and injured two men. The employee standing in front of the boiler was struck on the head with one of the furnace doors and rendered unconscious for a time. A second employee who happened to be at work at the rear of the boiler was hit in the region of the stomach with a heavy furnace plate that was thrown down from the boiler wall by the explosion. The injured men, R. Davis and Ed Hollis, were given medical attention as quickly as a physician could be rushed to the scene of the accident, and aside from the bruises received they are getting along well. The accident was avoidable call for the men, as many similar accidents have proven fatal. The National Products Company is not starting off under very favorable circumstances, but an accident around a gasoline plant is not uncommon. The management has the machinery all installed, all the gas lines laid, and hopes to have the plant willows between the piling and the flume and canal, and by owning the property can do more effective work than would otherwise be possible. An important feature in the purchase is the fact that it gives the company another splendid location for a pumping plant, which at some future time may be established on the True ranch.

The Bireh Oil Company has sold the gas system supplying the city of Brea and near-by communities to the Southern Gas Company. The purchase price was $10,590.66.

So spoke Otto Irving Wise, a well known attorney and public speaker of San Francisco to five hundred business men. "He kept us out of war? Who has threatened us with war? Who has wanted a war with us? Both groups of belligerents have trampled on American lives, on American self-respect, on American property, on American commerce. "I say that only so long as the honor of a nation is maintained with honor can a nation exult in peace; otherwise that nation cannot preserve the respect of the world or of its citizens." Wise asked if King Alfred of Belgium would have dared to go to his people for election, if he had not resisted the German invasion. He asked if Abraham Lincoln would have made the pretense of having kept the nation out of war, if he had allowed the fourteen states to secede and two republics to form. He raised the question would Lincoln could have gone to the people of his time for re-election on such an issue. TAN BARK ROOFING A method for using waste hemlock tan bark to partially replace expensive rag stock in the manufacture Working Hard to Carry the $15,000,000 Bonds Issue Great interest centers in the $15,000,000 good roads bond issue to be voted November 7 at the general state election by the voters of the State of California, and many commercial bodies, business organizations and good roads associations are working in every section of the State in the interest of the adoption of the bonds. Effective work is being carried on by the Tri-State Good Roads Association, Inc., which is waging a campaign of education among the voters, distributing literature and pamphlets throughout the state and in general doing everything possible to insure the adoption of the bonds. This organization has a membership of more than 3000 sqft of the Tehachepi and in every city and community its members are actively engaged in furthering the cause of the bonds. Speakers are being sent to communities where the bonds are in danger of being opposed, flying squadrons of automobiles with speakers will visit the principal cities and towns south of the Tehachapi and an active campaign is under way. At a meeting of the board of council of the Tri-State Good Roads Association, Inc., held this week in Los Angeles, State Highway Commissioner N. D. Darlington declared that in order to carry out the plans as originally outlined by the State Highway commission it would be necessary to adopt the bonds. He stated that the system of roads and trunk lines was incomplete and that the $15,000,000 bonds would be necessary to complete the system. The principal benefits to be derived from this issue, as given out by the commission, are: "An extension of the San Bernardino County State Highway lateral to Arizona state line near Yuma, via EVERY WEEK YOU SEE HERE SOMETHING DIFFERENT AMONG OUR WONDERFUL $15.00 SUITS AND OVERCOATS—HIGH PRICE MARKETS DON'T EFFECT US.

ANOTHER MEXICAN INCONSISTENCY The members of the Carranza-Wilson commission seem to be deliberating not upon the international problems which alone could give it legal were drowned at sea, massacred, or carried into slavery. Yet it was a perfectly lovely idea. So is this idea of sending American farmers and schoolmasters into Mexico to be welcomed, as Tom Corwin put it, "with bloody hands to hospitable graves." They have before them, both as incentive and encouragement, the experience of hundreds of American men and women, engaged in a similar work, abandoned by their own government to murder, robbery and rape. For instance, there is the case of the teacher who was held as a member of Villa's harem for many weeks, Villa being the champion of human liberty Senator Lewis says this government at one time intended to recognize, and who was at the time fighting with ammunition furnished him through the consideration of the Wilson administration. This woman tells the story in a recently published magazine article of how many girls were whipped and beaten to death because they resisted entrance into the horrors of the household maintained by the "people's friend" who enjoyed the friendship of the present national administration for so many months, and in whose behalf American sailors died at Vera Cruz in President Wilson's demonstration against Huerta, the undesirable citizen to whom Villa. ANOTHER MEXICAN INCONSISTENCY The members of the Carranza-Wilson commission seem to be deliberating not upon the international problems which alone could give it legal and rational cause for being, but upon the domestic politics of Mexico. We have again and again been assured that it was our bounden duty to let the Mexicans work out their own salvation, even at incidental sacrifice of American life and property, but now we have a commission that is deliberating upon Mexican domestic problems of taxation, finance and rehabilitation. This doesn't seem to fit in very well with the theory of letting the Dons do it, but it has long been understood that this administration has one set of theories to talk about and quite another set to work on. The latest suggestion from the confeees is that Mexico shall be invaded by an army, not with guns, but with plows and school books in its hands. American farmers are to teach the peons how to plow and reap, and American school teachers are to instruct the Mexican idea how to shoot, although knowing how to shoot seems to be a natural attribute of the Mexican mind, especially when the target is a "gringo" or a government soldier. This is probably the most beautiful international idea that has been developed since the days of the Children's Crusade, when tens of thousands of boys and girls started forth to accomplish that conquest of the Holy Land the mailed warriors had failed to achieve. That was a perfectly lovely idea, but the children who thus set forth never came home. They Wilson administration.

FIRE BOYS OF COUNTY ORGANIZING ASSOCIATION Delegates Will Meet at Santa Ana Tomorrow Night to Discuss Plans At a meeting of delegates from the fire departments of Anaheim, Orange, Fullerton, Huntington Beach and Santa Ana, held Thursday night in the Balboa Drug store, it was decided that a county organization, for the mutual benefit of each departmental member, would be formed in the near future. About forty delegates were present, representing the different districts. The organization will first take the shape of a social meeting, at which the lighter affairs general to the different departments will be taken up. As this grows, the organization will assume a more serious form, and will deal with the best methods of handling fires, and promoting efficiency in the different departments. The first meeting to be held will take place Friday night in the Santa Ana fire hall. Three delegates from each community will be present, and at least one member of the Board of Trustees. The details of organization will be worked out at that meeting.
