ORANGE HORPE WILL HAVE A PIPE LINE WATER COMPANY AND STERN REALTY COMPANY WILL EACH PAY HALF OF COST COMMITTEE AT DIRECTORS MEETING INSTRUCTED TO INVESTIGATE PLACENTIA AVENUE DITCH A communication from the Stern Realty Co., agreeing to pay one-half the cost of replacing the open cement ditch on Orangethorpe avenue with a pipe line, was received by the board of directors of the Anaheim Union Water company Saturday, and on motion duly seconded the proposition was accepted and the superintendent instructed to put in the pipe line. Report of the finance committee was read and approved and warrants ordered drawn in payment of the various demands therein recommended. Report of the treasurer, superintendent and secretary were each in turn received and filed. On motion duly seconded the engineer was instructed to establish the grade and make a profile of the Placentia avenue ditch. On motion duly seconded the attorney was instructed to take care of the company's interests in the Pacific Electric company's condemnation suit, involving right of way in Fullerton. Request of F. Siefken that the open dirt ditch on the north line of his property be done away with was referred to Director Dwyer and Attorney Keech. ORANGE OIL The development of an industry of great interest to the orange growing districts is forshadowed in the announcement that the U.S. department of agriculture has perfected a process for extracting orange oil from peel by machinery. Practically all orange oil used in this country is imported from Italy, where it is extracted by a hand process. The Italian product, by reason of cheap labor, monopolized the market. Even so, the hand process is expensive and the oil commands exceedingly high prices. A successful machine process would enable California growers to dispose of cull fruit and would, assuredly, lead to the development of a very important industry. A state horticultural bulletin carries the announcement, which reads: As a result of the perfecting by specialists of the U.S. department of agriculture of a machine which rapidly peels citrus fruits, and the development of a process for pressing and chemically treating the removed peel, TALBERT CHOSEN MAN OF SUPERVISORS CHOOSE HIM OVER THAT ORDINANCE GRANDE ISE TO ANAHEIM TER CO.

A state horticultural bulletin carries the announcement, which reads: As a result of the perfecting by specialists of the U.S. department of agriculture of a machine which rapidly peels citrus fruits, and the development of a process for pressing and chemically treating the removed peel, sweet orange oil of a quality at least equal to the imported hand pressed product can now be produced in this country at a cost which will make competition with foreign oils possible. The process and machine which make this new domestic industry possible are described in a bulletin issued by the U.S. department of agriculture, Department Bulletin 399. The newly developed process should be of especial interest to this state where considerable quantities of cull waste and low grade oranges have heretofore remained unutilized each season. The establishment of oil industries not only would furnish a means for making use of fruit hereofore lost or sold practically without profit, but also would furnish a wider market for better grades of fruit and should trend to bring about the exercise of greater care in the selection of such grades. The fact that the peeling process leaves the fruit intact in its thin inner skin also makes easy the use of this fruit for the production of other by products, such as orange juice, marmalade, jam, etc. Though the department's specialists have developed several processes for extraction of orange oil, they find both the yield and quality of oil obtained by the raw pressure method to be the best. The first pressing, however, produces an emulsion of the oil and water or juice which must be separated chemically. It was found after much experimentation that the separation could be effected by treatment with gelatin and tannin. An abundant source of tannin was found near the Florida orange groves in the rhizomes or root like stalks of the common saw palmetto. The peeling machine on which the possibility of establishing an American orange oil industry largely has hinged is a rotating drum which grates the outer peel from the oranges in a finely divided form. The machine is operated by power, and with it one operator no more than two tons or three tons or three tons per hour. The petition for the proposed city council election called for F corporation.

At that time the beach of Orange county was of little importance and there were no towns.Newport Harbor is shown on the old atlasses, but no population is given.Tustin was then known as Tustin City.However,there were few inhabitants at any of the beach towns a quarter of a century ago, as Long Beach was only credited with 2500 population in 1890.The population of Los Angeles was 50,384 and that of San Francisco297,910, while today Los Angeles is the larger city, showing the marvelous growth of the Southland There is little doubt but what the next 26 years will show even a greater development than the past. Sixteen I.W.W.'s were taken from the train at Fullerton Thursday night and placed under arrest by Marshal French They were turned over to Sheriff Jackson who took them to Santa Ana. A RECORD BREAKER A year of superlatives in the financial and business world has just closed. From all quarters have come reports of staggering totals of the year's commercial and financial activity. The month of December, which closed with a half day session in most quarters, has been remarkable as the turning point in the tide which swept the U.S. along to record exports, record earnings and huge dividends. On every hand as the year closed, bankers, business men and economists are speculating and talking peace and its meaning in dollars and cents in America. Opinions vary, but the bulk of them are that prosperity will continue, with readjustments. Veritable mountains of money are represented in the year end figures and estimates of the country's business. During the year $1,500,000,000 of world financing was floated in the United States. Europe shipped $680,000,000 in gold here to pay for munitions and supplies and to bolster her credit with the United States. Bank clearings are estimated at $259,000,000,000, a 35 per cent increase over the record year of 1915. Although crops "failed," production falling behind last year 10 to 35 per cent, farm products were valued at $7,500,000,000, or more, a 30 per cent increase over last year. Railroad earnings are estimated at $21,000,000 which is a 15 per cent increase over 1915. On the stock exchange sales for the year showed a 35 per cent jump, the year's total sales being nearly 240,000,000 shares. Railroads ordered 170,000 new freight cars and issued countless embargoes in their fight to move the nation's freight. In Wall street, new "war babies" wife asserts that for the last three years, he has been intoxicated at least once each week, and that recently, while angered, Standfill shoved her against a bed and cut her knee, ordered her out of the house and declared he would kill her. FUNDS APPORTIONED TO COUNTY'S SCHOOLS Superintendent Mitchell Makes Distribution to Various Districts County School Superintendent R. P. Mitchell has made a quarterly apportionment of schools by which $227,500 is placed at the disposal of the various school districts of the county. Of that amount there is $148,324.45 distributed to the high school districts, as follows: Anaheim, $20,824.90; Fullerton, $46,-518.46; Huntington Beach, $17,696.62; Orange, $20,295.60; Santa Ana, $43,-106.89. Apportionments for these six kindergartens in the county are: Anaheim, $681.35; Brea, $940.47; Fullerton, $548.62; Huntington Beach, $966.37; Orange, $1643.88; Santa Ana, $3725.14. The apportionment for the common school districts is divided into three funds, county library and special, the special fund being apportioned to those districts that paid special taxes for school purposes. The apportionment follows: County Library Special Alamitos ... $575 $25 $ Anaheim ... 5,220 180 4,088.10 Bay City ... 275 25 380.80 Bolsa ... 670 50 Brea ... 1,725 75 2,821.39 Buena Park ... 550 50 1,229.97 Centralia ... 550 50 Commonwealth ... 275 25 Cypress ... 355 25 305.18 Delhi ... 1,150 50 Diamond ... 275 25 El Modena ... 1,425 75 1,510.90 El Toro ... 550 50 195.76 Fountain Valley ... 550 50 See Them—They Passed Through Death Valley! Just a few days more and you’ll see the famous Railroad earnings are estimated at $21,000,000 which is a 15 per cent increase over 1915. On the stock exchange sales for the year showed a 35 per cent jump, the year's total sales being nearly 240,000,000 shares. Railroads ordered 170,000 new freight cars and issued countless embargoes in their fight to move the nation's freight. In Wall street, new "war babies" were born, grew paper values with mushroom speed and tottered as peace appeared on a distant horizon. As the year closed financial men in Wall street are talking "peace babies" and conserving interests are reported loading up with shares of railroads and industrial companies which are not dependent upon the war for their prosperity. The general crash in prices which followed Hollweg’s peace proposal and Wilson’s message to the belligerents—the greatest since the Northern Pacific in 1901—made bargain prices for the "peace baby" exponents. Spectacular individual performers in the 1916 speculative marts include: Twenty-one and one half cent cotton during the heaviest operations on the cotton exchange since the Daniel Sully pool operations; May wheat at $1.95¼, the record price since the civil war, barring one day when a $2 level prevailed, during the old Hutch corner; United States Steel common at $129.76; Bethlehem Steel at $700 a share. Mrs. Lulu M. Standfill has brought suit for divorce against B. L. Standfill, alleging cruelty and habitual intoxication. They were married at Huntsville, Arkansas, in 1896. The complaint stated that Standfill is employed on a ranch at Yorba Linda.

Warning to the Housewives of Anaheim and all Concerned in Their Personal Welfare: The writer has received information from local women that there are outside coffee and tea solicitors in town advancing premium, with a pound of coffee or tea, leaving the impression on the buyer's part that that is all that is necessary to get the premium. But beware! Upon the delivery of the premium they demand of you to sign a receipt which in fact is a contract binding you to purchase a large amount of their goods in order to own the premium. You may regret signing this contract later on as their goods are not always what they are represented to be. This company is always in the clutches of the law for putting out inferior goods and misrepresentation as the innocent buyer takes the first order gladly for she is told that she will receive a beautiful premium for just making the one purchase.
