FAVORABLE YEAR FOR ORANGE GROWERS ANAHEIM CITRUS ASSOCIATION RECEIVES $539,470 FOR LAST SEASON'S CROP ANNUAL MEETING THURSDAY ATTENDED BY 700 MEN, WOMEN AND CHILDREN Prosperity has attended the labors of the Anaheim Citrus Fruit Association during the past season, judging from the statement of Secretary Sandilands at the annual meeting Thursday. Members with their wives and children numbering in all 700, gathered at the packing house on Santa Ana street to hear the report, to elect a board of directors, and to participate in such other business as might be proposed. They made a day of it, the meeting opening at 9:30 and adjourning at 4:30. Several speakers were present from the Riverside Experiment station and from headquarters of the California Fruit Exchange. They broad, chairman of the pool committee, which had been appointed to formulate a new plan, reported that the committee had decided to recommend that the first pool on navels should end at Christmas, the second on the last day of March, and the third when the crop was all marketed. On sweets, St. Mikes, seedlings and bloods there should be but one pool. The numerical system was recommended for Valencias. The first pool is to begin the first of April and continue without a fixed closing date until all fruit entered had been shipped, the second would begin immediately, and this system would continue until the crop was all gathered. There was considerable opposition to this by Valencia growers, consequently Eygabroad's motion was divided into two motions. The recommended system was adopted for navels and sweets. When a vote was taken on the adoption of the numerical system for Valencias the house was found to be about evenly divided. A lengthy discussion followed. Some of the speakers wanted to retain the old system of monthly pools, some wanted to make one pool of the entire season, and some advocated dividing it into two pools, the second to begin the first of August. Messrs. Eygabroad, Sandilands, Holcomb, Krick and Jones argued in favor of the committee's report. Finally the eloquence of the system's advocates prevailed. Only Members with their wives and children numbering in all 700, gathered at the packing house on Santa Ana street to hear the report, to elect a board of directors, and to participate in such other business as might be proposed. They made a day of it, the meeting opening at 9:30 and adjourning at 4:30. Several speakers were present from the Riverside Experiment station and from headquarters of the California Fruit Exchange. They came to report on the past season's work of the Exchange, and to instruct the growers on results of new experiments. Rejoicing in the season's prosperity, the directors instructed George A. Mills and W. H. Chambers to prepare a banquet fitting for the occasion, to spare no expense, and to let nothing good to eat escape them. These gentlemen are both expert caterers and unhampered by limited orders, they got buoy, assisted by a number of excellent cooks and waiters. Tables were set for 500, but when they were all filled it was found that nearly a hundred were yet unprovided for, being compelled to wait for a second spread. Viands were plentiful, however, and all the appetites eventually were satisfied. Many of them went home for luncheon, returning in the afternoon. Mr. Sandilands' report appears in full on another page of this paper. It is interesting reading, showing the growth of the association and its prosperous condition at present. Mr. Sandilands' financial statement showed that $539,470.84 had been received for fruit during the past season, against $278,951.16 the previous year. There are 263 members in the association, a gain of 43 during the year. There are 2856 acres of trees over three years of age in the association. Of the oranges shipped 13 per cent were navels, 4 per cent sweets, bloode, St. Mikes, etc., and 83 per cent Valencias. Last year the percentage was Navels, 27 per cent, Sweets, etc., 10 per cent, Valencias 63 per cent. The capacity of the house is 130 cars per month, but preparations are making to enlarge, as he estimates the crop in two years at 1000 cars. The shipments this year were 221,233 boxes, against 151,492 a year ago, being a gain of 69,741 boxes, or 46 per cent. The prices, also, were exceptionally good. The old board of directors was again re-elected by acclamation. They are C. E. Holcomb, G. H. Goodale, C. E. D. C. King, sales manager of the Exchange, C. H. Grassly, of the Semi-Tropic Fruit Association, B. P. Pratt, the Exchange's outside man, Don Francisco, the advertising manager, W. M. Mertz and Dr. Kelly, both of the Experiment Station at Riverside, made instructive and interesting talks. Mr. Mertz told of the results obtained by experiments with cover crops, and Dr. Kelly gave some valuable information on the subject of commercial fertilizer. Mr. King, who has charge of the sales department, the most important branch of the Exchange, told of the efficient manner in which the fruit is handled after it reaches the packing houses. There are 170 associations in the Exchange he said, and last year was the most successful one in its history. Last year 67 per cent of the California oranges were shipped by the Exchange, the previous year it handled 62 per cent, and this year we expect to control 70 per cent. Conditions the coming year is promising with one exception. We are facing a shortage of railroad facilities. We will market the largest crop ever produced in California, but there promises to be a shortage of cars in which to ship it. The Exchange's market is divided into six divisions. The manager of each division keeps the central office constantly informed of the state of his market, and the office keeps only as many cars going to that place as can be handled without overstocking the market. Speaking of the excellent system of selling he stated that last season the shipments amounted to $27,500,000, and the losses were less than $100. Since the organization thirteen years ago, $200,000,000 worth of fruit has been shipped and the loss has been less than $8000. W. M. Mertz made an interesting talk on several grounds giving the results he was found to be about evenly divided. A lengthy discussion followed. Some of the speakers wanted to retain the old system of monthly pools, some wanted to make one pool of the entire season, and some advocated dividing it into two pools, the second to begin the first of August. Messrs. Eygabroad, Sandilands, Holcomb, Krick and Jones argued in favor of the committee's report. Finally the eloquence of the system's advocates prevailed. Only five were against it on a rising vote, and Chairman Holcomb declared it carried. Instructions have picked crews to exercise in selecting the day trade—that is why fruit that is highly in this vicinity are in some instances defect. Thot portion of now available for plumbing enough to meet covered by an ordinance been adopted in so growing counties and down by the Org supervisors last was considered that this time to go into after its passage; we late to be effective if fact that it is expected covering the point we in the year.

J. Dwyer, George A. Mills, C. O. Rust and Charles Eygabroad. After the vote had been taken the question of having two members of the board retire each year, and two new ones elected was sprung, but as it was impossible to divide seven by two and leave no remainder it was decided to increase the directorate to nine and have three members retire each year. As it was necessary to change the by-laws and carry the matter to Sacramento and have the articles of incorporation changed, a committee consisting of J. J. Dwyer, J. C. Craft and C. E. Jones was appointed to alter the section of the by-laws governing the same. The committee's report was adopted, the two new directors being elected. They are W. H. Rockwell and J. M. Callan. There was a warm discussion lasting an hour when the question of changing the pooling system came up. Heretofore pools have been made every month, but this has not been altogether satisfactory, as the packers were liable to run short of fruit at the close of one pool and be compelled to close the house until the specified date for the next one to begin. Last season the pool was cleaned up three days before the end of one month, and the directors sacrificed profits by turning in fruit of their own in order to keep the packers busy. Charles Eyga- Anaheim Gazette Anaheim, California, Thursday, Nov. 16 1916 BEGIN PACKING NEW CROP LAST OF MONTH ANAHEIM WILL HAVE CHOICE ORANGES IN EASTERN MARKET FOR HOLIDAYS TWO HUNDRED CARS WILL BE SHIPPED FROM ORANGE CO. BEFORE CHRISTMAS The Anaheim Citrus Fruit association will begin packing its new crop of navels the latter part of this month. The fruit is two or three weeks earlier than usual this year. Some of the associations in the county began picking Monday. While heavy damage to the crop from the high winds Monday is reported from Riverside and at other points it is claimed that the damage to the Anaheim fruit is insignificant. Instructions have been given to pickling crews to exercise the utmost care in selecting the fruit for the holiday trade—that is to pick only the fruit that is highly colored. Oranges in this vicinity are coloring fast and some instances color almost non-existent. SUPERVISOR SCHUMACHER EXPRESSSES THANKS Grateful to Voters of Third District For Unanimous Re-Election to Office Ably Filled Supervisor Schumacher has handed us the following note for publication: To the Voters of the 3rd Supervisorial District: Through the medium of this paper, I wish to express my heartiest thanks for the confidence again reposed in me and the conduct of my office, by the voters of this district when they unanimously re-elected me as Supervisor of the Third District at the election Nov. 7th. It is an honor seldom conferred upon a candidate to be re-nominated and re-elected without opposition, and for such honor I am indeed grateful. These few words cannot express the gratification I feel at being so signally honored, so I will endeavor by deeds to merit the confidence again bestowed upon me by the electorate of the district. As in the past I will do the best that there is in me for the best interests of the entire district, and Orange County at large, and I hope when my stewardship is ended to still retain the confidence of the people in as large a measure as was expressed at the polls on November 7th. Thanking you again for your unanimous expression of goodwill I am NEW LIGHTING PROPOSITION MADE CITY PAVING OF SANTA ANA STREET BETWEEN LOS ANGELES AND LEMON ORDERED AMENDMENTS TO LICENSE ORDINANCE MAY BE MADE IN THE NEAR FUTURE The board of trustees met in an interesting session on Thursday evening. There were present Mayor Schneider, Trustees Stark, Brunworth and Dwyer. Absent, Trustee Cook. Engineer Steward reported that the L. A. Paving company agreed to pave Santa Ana street, upon which the tracks of the S. P. company are located, between Los Angeles and Lemon streets, for 14 cents per foot. The work is to be done by private contract. It is said all property owners in the block favor the paving, one of the main reasons being that it will facilitate the handling of storm water in that section. sociations in the county began picking Monday. While heavy damage to the crop from the high winds Monday is reported from Riverside and at other points it is claimed that the damage to the Anaheim fruit is insignificant. Instructions have been given to pickcrews to exercise the utmost care in selecting the fruit for the holiday trade—that is to pick only the fruit that is highly colored. Oranges in this vicinity are coloring fast and in some instances color is almost perfect. Thot portion of the crop which is now available for picking is said to be ripe enough to meet the 8 to 1 test, covered by an ordinance which has been adopted in some of the orange growing counties and which was turned down by the Orange county board of supervisors last week because it was considered that its adoption at this time to go into effect fifteen days after its passage, would have been too late to be effective and because of the fact that it is expected a state law covering the point will be passed within the year. Shippers are now facing a car shortage, and prices received by the growers for the early crop will probably be governed by facilities for moving the fruit. Should it be that cars in sufficient numbers cannot be had to ship the fruit available, prices will rule high on the eastern markets, because of the shortage of fruit in those markets. On the other hand, if all the fruit can be handled quotations will rule low. The first of the new crop shipped out of California went from Tulare county and brought $3.50 per box, f. o. b. packing house. Orange county, it is estimated will have 200 cars of choice fruit on the eastern markets for the holiday trade. H. W. Schultz of Fullerton, received word Thursday that his son, Bennett, who was working for the Westinghouse Electric company in Philadelphia, had been electrocuted. At the close of Mr. Gressley's address a motion was made to adjourn for lunch and was unanimously carried, and some six hundred people assembled into the banquet rooms where a sumptuous meal was awaiting them, as it was after one o'clock and lily honored, so I will endeavor by deeds to merit the confidence again bestowed upon me by the electorate of the district. As in the past I will do the best that there is in me for the best interests of the entire district, and Orange County at large, and I hope when my stewardship is ended to still retain the confidence of the people in as large a measure as was expressed at the polls on November 7th. Thanking you again for your unanimous expression of good will I am, Yours very truly, WM. SCHUMACHER, Supervisor Third District. Supervisor Schumacher is the only man ever elected supervisor of this district without opposition. His record on the board during the four-year term he served was so satisfactory that all political parties endorsed him and he was elected by practically a unanimous vote. During his term more was accomplished in the way of road improvements, etc., than in all its former history. VERY SUCCESSFUL DAY FOR ANAHEIM HUNTERS Bag 300 Rabbits in Victor Valley in a Few Hours Sunday Mortality among the rabbits in Victor Valley was exceedingly great Sunday when a bunch of Anaheim sports landed early in the morning, and after eating a hasty breakfast, began the work of slaughter among the innocent bunnies. There were six automobile loads, and the force numbered 26 men, some of them being expert shots. The party left here at 1 o'clock Sunday morning, arriving at the Steadman ranch at 5. The line up of the procession was as follows: Car No. 1—Vlc LaMont, Chillie Fisher, Joe Stroup and Walter Kern. Car No. 2—Walt Koehler, Jack Crow, Tommy Hedges and Dean Hasson. Car No. 3—Charles Koehler, Kasper Chimeris, Billy Lake and Leonard Barrett. Car No. 4—Albert Graham, Van Davis, Thommy Thomas and Chester Harrison. Car No. 5—Billy Knott, Wm. Barfoot Fritz Kemper and Phil Germann. Car No. 6—J. D. Heitsheusen, Dick Heitsheusen, Jr., Walter Heitsheusen, George Flesner, George Huntington and Ernest Telmen. When the shooting ended at noon Engineer Steward reported that the L. A. Paving company agreed to pave Santa Ana street, upon which the tracks of the S. P. company are located, between Los Angeles and Lemon streets, for 14 cents per foot. The work is t be done by private contract. It is said all property owners in the block favor the paving, one of the main reasons being that it will facilitate the handling of storm water in that section. Judge Frank Shanley addressed the board in reference to providing suitable culverts at the corner of Los Angeles and Santa Ana streets, at the depot site, to carry off storm water. In rainy weather large volumes of water naturally drain to this point and aeretofore it has been a difficult matter to solve. The matter was referred to the city engineer. By installing a storm drain on the north side of the street along the railroad tracks it is believed that the excess water will find an outlet more easily to the west. W. A. Mattox, representing the Western Gas Engine company, addressed the board in reference to furnishing the city light. He said by installing their gas engine, and generating its own electricity the city would save considerable money. Mr. Mattox stated that the cost for juice, furnished by the private corporation, was $5,600 for the past six and one-half months. He claimed by installing his natural gas engine and necessary equipment this sum would be cut down considerably. A bond issue, he said, would not be necessary, as arrangements could be made to have the same paid for by monthly payments, after an initial paymen to him of $5000. In other words, the money now paid monthly to the Edison company would be sufficient to install his equipment, and in the end the city would own the plant. Mr. Mattox asked the board to advertise for bids for installation of a plant as he outlines, and this would get bids in writing, backed by substantial bonds, and would then be in a position to see just what was offered them. Should the board be so inclined they could reject all bids, and would be out only the cost of advertising. Mr. Mattox addressed the board previously upon the same subject and submitted a letter, which is on file in the clerk's office, submitting his plans. He claims the city would be the gainer by accepting his plan, and further said it would be a solution to the vexed question as now exists rel- ested to bring out their families and make a day of it. At the close of Mr. Gressley's address a motion was made to adjourn for lunch and was unanimously carried, and some six hundred people assembled into the banquet rooms where a sumptuous meal was awaiting them, and as it was after one o'clock and some said they had done without their breakfast in order to do justice to the meal, it was appreciated. At every place were found red carnations, and the tables and room was decorated in ferns and chrysanthemums, and the menu consisted of: Celery Pickles Roast Pork Baked Potatoes Pork and Beans Gravy Bread and Butter Coffee Orange Marmalade Apple Pie And there was many compliments both upon the dinner and service. Everyone expressed their appreciation of the flowers by taking one. The packing house of the Anaheim association has more floor space devoted entirely to oranges than any other packing house in the county. During the height of the Valencia season it employs 125 people, and has a weekly pay roll of $2000. The total shipments during the past season averaged two carloads for every working day of the entire year. Over twenty-five million oranges were shipped. The association holds the enviable record for obtaining the highest average for the highest grade of any packing house in California. Co-operation of the purest kind has made this possible. Anaheim is certainly on the map. Car No. 4—Albert Graham, Van Davis, Thommy Thomas and Chester Harrison. Car No. 5—Billy Knott, Wm. Barfoot Fritz Kemper and Phil Germann. Car No. 6—J. D. Heitsheusen, Dick Heitsheusen, Jr., Walter Heitsheusen, George Flesner, George Huntington and Ernest Telmen. When the shooting ended at noon and the victims were counted it was found that 300 rabbits had been slain—250 jackets and 50 cottontails. Car No. 1 had 32, No. 2, 44, No. 3 53, No. 4 35, No. 5 55, and No. 6 81. Five or six of the boys did not shoot at all, else the slaughter would have been greater. At noon the party assembled at the Steadman ranch where they took on board a substantial luncheon. The Steadmans were in Anaheim, but the hunters had permission to make themselves at home, which they did. They started home at 1 o'clock, arriving here at 5 in the evening without mishap, except that one or two cars balked and had to be towed a portion of the way. Rabbits are plentiful in Victor Valley this season, and while the boys decreased the population three hundred in one day there are still enough left to make the hunting profitable. Some of the boys got a number of quail, but birds are scarce in the valley. That half-mile strip of Lemon street connecting the city limits with the state highway is to be paved. Contract has been let by the supervisors to M. T. Shafer, the price being $981-34. The county pays for an 18-foot strip, but property owners will pay for widening it. J. L. Easton addressed the board relative to the monthly payment of $1.25 for license for delivery of milk within the city. Mr. Easton claims he is only a farmer, selling the product which he produces, and should not be taxed. He has paid the license heretofore under protest. Mr. Easton says since he raises Jersey cows, raises their feed, and sells the milk to local customers, he maintained he should not be taxed for that purpose. He looks upon the payment of the license as an imposition, and asked to have the same eliminated. He says the sum is small but buys a pair of shoes, and he said he has eight in his family. The matter will no doubt be given attention by the ordinance committee in the near future. Other sections of the new license ordinance have been criticized as being unjust, and it is believed that several changes in the ordinance will be made when it next comes before the board. City Attorney Ames reported that the state provides for the examination of dairy herds, giving tuberculin tests, and also experts give tests from a sanitary standpoint, but it is optional for stantial bonds, and would then be in a position to see just what was offered them. Should the board be so inclined they could reject all bids, and would be out only the cost of advertising. Mr. Mattox addressed the board previously upon the same subject and submitted a letter; which is on file in the clerk's office, submitting his plans. He claims the city would be gainer by accepting his plan, and further said it would be a solution to the vexed question as now exists relative to furnishing the city electric energy. The board took no action, but it is said have taken the matter under consideration. J. L.

At a recent meeting Mr. Ford of Fullerton, appeared before the council and asked for the board to endorse him as inspector for bacteriology, his field to comprise northern Orange county. The board took no action at that time, and since it is optional with cities whether or not a bacteria inspector is appointed, it is doubtful whether any further action is taken. The board is of the belief that the present safeguards thrown around milk tests in this city and vicinity are sufficient. At present, where one cow, or more, is kept and milk is sold, the product must be pasteurized and the herds given an examination once every six months or oftener. Mrs. Mitchell was given a building permit, the same being for the erection of a modern brick building on the corner of Los Angeles and Center streets. The cost of the new building is estimated at $23,000 and will be one of the finest in the county. The matter of filling the vacancy on the library board of trustees, caused by the inability of Dr. Corwin to attend to the duties, owing to illness, was discussed.

Hadsall, the man who promoted the Anaheim sugar factory. Mr. Hadsall is a live wire and he made an excellent talk on the possibilities of Anaheim from a manufacturing standpoint. He lived here a couple of years and is well acquainted with the town and surrounding country.

Dr. Corwin at present is at the Hot Springs in the northern part of the state, and has been unable to serve as a library trustee, which is very much regretted. However, before the board makes a new appointment, they will ascertain definitely whether or not Dr. Corwin will in the future be able to return to this city and continue in the capacity of a trustee on the library board. Trustee Stark submitted a sketch, which provides for the rearrangement of one of the lower rooms in the library building which it is proposed to be used as a public lavatory for both sexes. The new conveniences are to be modern in every way, costing about $2000. The subject was given careful thought by the members of the board, but definite action was deferred until next meeting. The providing of these adjuncts has been discussed in public meetings and all citizens have come to the conclusion that some provision should be made along these lines. Anaheim is fast becoming a cosmopolitan city and many strangers are daily here, and it has been often remarked that rest rooms modernly equipped are needed. The finance committee examined the following reports which were found correct. Marshal's Report Collected for license ... $1166.75 Electrician's Report Electric meters installed ... 23 Received for same ... $16.90 Received from board of trade for time and material furnished the carnival ... $15.50 Sewer Inspector's Report Nine sewer permits ... $22.50 Fifteen gas permits ... 16.75 Nine plumbing permits ... 8.40 Total ... $47.65 Rate Collector's Report Collected for light ... $2665.60 Collected for water ... 1313.20 Total ... $3978.80 Delinquents Collected For light ... $104.30 For water ... 168.60 Total ... $290.90 Delinquents Reported For light ... $161.55 and he made an excellent talk on the possibilities of Anaheim from a manufacturing standpoint. He lived here a couple of years and is well acquainted with the town and surrounding country. Mr. Hadsall declared that by cooperation between the civic organization, the citizens and the city trustees there is no reason why Anaheim should not land a number of valuable enterprises. He warned the people against nibbling at baits thrown out by fake promoters and cautioned them not to enorse a proposition until after it had been thoroughly investigated. There are many legitimate concerns, he said, that could be induced to locate here with proper encouragement, but there are also many adventurers who want to start something on other men's capital. His subject was "Manufacturing," and he advised the board of trade to encourage small concerns that would give employment to local people, and would be an incentive for larger plants to locate here. He paid a compliment to the Crawford marmalade factory and said that others of a similar character would give Anaheim a great boost. One of our greatest needs, he declared, was a canning factory, which would not only give employment to many people, but would open a good market for vegetable growers in this vicinity and stimulate an industry that has great possibilities. J. W. Duckworth acted as toastmaster and introduced the speaker in a few well-chosen words. The annual banquet of the Anaheim Fruit Association on that day curtailed the attendance somewhat. Today W. H. Ward will act as toastmaster, and the speaker will be Col. Pollard of Boston, chief executive of the Boy Scouts of America. He will talk about boy scouts, and give some interesting information about that growing organization.
