It required two hours' hard labor to get it on solid ground again. H. Q. Henderson reports a property J. F. Simpson of Buena Park attended the associated chambers of commerce meeting on Wednesday evening in this city. Mr. Simpson was favorably impressed with the growth of this city and believed the paved streets are among the most valuable assets. Mr. Simpson's first visit to Anaheim was about 12 years ago, just prior to the building of paved roads in this section, and he encountered many mud holes during the wet season then prevailing. In this city on the main streets at that time mud was knee deep and it was difficult to get in and out. Now things are different and paved highways are to be found here and throughout the county. J. B. Rea, executor of the estate of Captain L. R. Williams has filed a petition for probate of the will. He is named as executor of the estate in the will and asks for letters of administration over that portion of the estate represented by a promissory note for $10,000. In addition to this there are stocks, mortgages and bonds, the probable value of which is estimated at $40,000.

The Anaheim Japs are all patriotic subjects of his majesty. O. K. Parker, a member of the American Society of Civil Engineers, and one of the best posted road authorities in the west, was a visitor in town a few days ago, speaking in favor of the $15,000,000 road bond issue. O. K. Parker is one of the best informed men on the road situation in the west today. He has been over practically every foot of county, state and federal roads west of the Rocky mountains and in many instances has encouraged surveys which have resulted in the construction of new roads. He was the first to survey the Tloga road which opened up the great Tloga logging center. He has traveled more than 25,000 miles over good roads and driven the famous Death Valley Dodge through Death Valley. He also been on the highest point in the United States in an automobile and has driven to the lowest level in the country in a Dodge car, this point being in Death Valley. Parker is the only man to drive a machine along the rim of the Grand Canyon of Arizona and also the only person to drive an auto in the bottom of this famous chasm. He has done more to encourage road build- While taking the pipe organ from the opera house Friday for use on the skating rink's float in the industrial parade, the truck on which it was being hauled broke through the covering of an abandoned cesspool. It required two hours' hard labor to get it on solid ground again. H. Q. Henderson reports a property exchange through his agency recently completed. Houses in Pasadena, Santa Ana and Orange belonging to Guy D. Richards were exchanged for 120 acres in Powey Valley owned by Grewe Brothers, $22,500 was the amount involved. Henry Burdorf, a pioneer horticulturist of Fullerton, was a business visitor in town Saturday afternoon. Mr. Burdorf reports the walnut crop pretty well cleaned up. He says the recent dry weather has been a godsend to the bea men, in that it has prevented the molding of the exposed crop caused by the early rains. The Anaheim National Bank has installed a large clock in front of their place of business on the corner of Center and Lemon street. The clock chimes the hours, halves and quarter hours, and the harmony produced is pleasant to hear, besides keeping people in the neighborhood posted on the time of day. The east winds and dry weather which prevailed several days last week afforded ideal climatic conditions to reclaim a large quantity of the lima bean crop, which was threatened with absolute destruction on account of the wetting received through the rains the middle of the month. The beans in cases had been stacked in the fields awaiting the threshers when the wetness descended, but the succeeding dry weather and eastern syphers were providential and the bean growers are wearing bland smiles. Fifteen deeds, mostly to property in the Hotel Del Campot tract, were filed at Santa Ana Friday conveying lots to the Salt Lake railroad. In the deeds are a large number of lost in blocks C and B, and lots in Santa Fe tract, from Samuel R. Bearley and Charles C. Green of Los Angeles. Some of these deeds were made out original- C. B. Berger has sold the E. Bullard 5-acre Valencia grove on Loara street just west of Anaheim to Fred Heyling. This is one of the choice of the younger groves, the trees being about five years old.

Parker is the only man to drive a machine along the rim of the Grand Canyon of Arizona and also the only person to drive an auto in the bottom of this famous chasm. He has done more to encourage road building and highway development in the west than any other man and is a live-y booster for all road bond issues. WALNUTS ARE CRACKED BY MACHINERY Contrivance at Santa Ana Turns Out 1000 Pounds of Meats per Day Turning out more than 100 pounds of sorted and packed walnut meats daily, the Hayes walnut cracker, installed by the Santa Ana Valley Walnut Growers' association in the packing house on the Santa Fe tracks at Santa Ana, is more than meeting the most sanguine expectations of association members. The plant is in charge of A. P. Dresser. At present there are employed a foreman, forty women pickers, and two forewomen. The pickers separate the walnut meats from the hulls and sort the meats into four grades, known as light halves, light pieces, amber and dark. The plant will probably continue to run for fifteen or twenty days. The walnuts are fed it to the jaws of ten tapering crackers. Each cracker being tapered, the nuts are graded just prior to the jaws coming together. The crackers are set so as to come together only so far—the large nuts stay at the top and are cracked while the smaller ones drop lower. The sorted walnut meats are packed in patent twenty-five pound boxes, the packed stock is entirely free from moldy and wormy pieces. The association finds that it has more orders for walnut meats than it can supply. It is stated that walnuts this year average about 5 per cent culls, while last season from 20 to 25 per cent was the average, this accounting for the fewer walnut meats on hand. The present walnut season having been opened for several weeks before teh cracking plant was put in operation, many association members already had disposed of their cull stock. Next year, however, every association member will have his culls cracked at the association plant, it is stated. NEW COINS IN CIRCULATION Ten thousand dimes of new design, minted at San Francisco, came down Fifteen deeds, mostly to property in the Hotel Del Campot tract, were filed at Santa Ana Friday conveying lots to the Salt Lake railroad.

Hyde was arrested Friday for attempting to pass a forged check at Falkenstein's store. The check was for $10.85, it was drawn on the German American bank, and bore the name of Mrs. Julia Schaeffer.

It is the first shipment of the new subsidiary coins received in the south, and was sent to the German American Trust and Savings Bank, from whence distribution will be made. The law requires that every twenty five years the designs on American silver coins shall be changed, so half dollars, quarters and dimes of the 1918 vintage are different.

The halves bear a full length figure of Liberty on one side and a perched eagle on the other. On the quarters th full length of Liberty bears a shield, and on the reverse side the eagle in flight.

Falkenstein's DEPARTMENT STORE Somewhere between $500 and $600 was taken in by the ticket sellers during the five days of the carnival.

This was all in nickels and it means that nearly 12,000 people paid to go inside. This money was split fifty-fifty between the board of trade and Foley & Burk. The board also got a percentage from the concessions, consequently the advertising fund was considerably augmented by the carnival. Herman Noll steps in to say that he is thinking seriously of causing the recently buried hammer (which was so impressively laid to rest several moons ago) disinterred and have a post mortem examination held in the endeavor to learn the cause of its apparent resuscitation, for it is said the knocker is abroad in the land. Herman says if the curbstoner has really come back he will see that another first class funeral is held and have the spook again entombed, and perhaps throw in a few "live" ones. The funeral of Captain L. R. Williams, who died at the home of his brother, Thomas R. Williams at Pittsburg, Pa., last Sunday, was held at the Union Baptist church in that city on Tuesday, Oct. 24. The Captain, who was a veteran of the civil war and an enthusiastic Grand Army man, was buried with military honors, as Col Patterson post of Pittsburg, of which he was formerly a member, participated at the funeral. He was buried in South Side cemetery, Pittsburg. In the burglary of Glazier Bros. store at La Habra Sunday night a thief got enough tobacco to last him a month, maybe two months. He got six pounds of tobacco, some knives and a razor from the store. From Brewster's poolroom he stole $2.05, a razor and some keys. At each place entered, the burglar found the rear window open. From Brewster's place he carried away the keys to the front door and the cash register. Deputy Sheriffs Maxwell and Iman investigated the matter. Threshers are completing their work upon the lima bean crop in Orange county. Secretary Shipley of the California Lima Bean Growers' association beat the Ardens plasterers' club by a score of 11 to 4, and closed the season with a record of one game lost out of eight. And coincident with the closing of the season for the merchants is the announcement that the Fullerton club semi-professional champions of Southern California will play their first game of the season next Sunday. In the game Sunday afternoon, the merchants hammered Valencia off the hill in a trifle over six innings, taking eight runs off him and three off Wilkinson. Porter, for Fullerton, drew out the only home run of the game. Ardens, 4 runs, ten hits, 3 errors. Fullerton, 11 runs, 12 hits, 2 errors. Batteries for Arden, Valencia, Wilkinson, and Leake.

In the early 80's he was associated with Fairbanks in the building of the Indiana, Bloomington and Western railroad. Forgy was chief counsel for the road and had charge of the right-of-way campaign, in which work he was successful. While living in Ohio in early life, Forgy was successful in organizing the first township high school in that state, it being in Bethel township, Clark county.
