ANAHEIM WOMAN DIES IN AUTO ACCIDENT MRS. ARTHUR DEAN MEETS HER DEATH IN OVERTURNING CAR IN LOS ANGELES ON ROAD HOME FROM DANCE AT VERNON WHEN AUTOMOBILE TURNED TURTLE Death came suddenly to Mrs. Lucille Dean, wife of Arthur Dean of this city, through the overturning of an auto in Los Angeles Friday morning. In company with Mrs. Pearl Waldler, also of this city, and two young men from Lankersheim, Alex Muir and Dewey Shipman, Mrs. Dean attended a dance at Vernon Thursday night. The party left in an auto at three o'clock Friday morning for Anaheim. On Santa Fe street, near the city limits, the auto either collided with a truck, or swerved in order to avoid a collision. At any rate it was overturned and the occupants thrown out. All were more or less injured, but Mrs. Dean was entangled with the capsized car. On being extricated she sprang to her feet, exclaiming, "I am not hurt," but a moment later collapsed. She was placed in an auto and taken to the receiving hospital. She was suffering intensely on the way and it was discovered that her body was swelling to such an extent that it was necessary to unloosen her clothing. She died at the hospital carries just a touch of pathos, so closely allied to humor, a vein of sincerity that accentuates the comedy. In addition to the five reels of the Chaplin Comedy Revue a beautiful five act Bluebird Photoplay will be shown entitled "The Boy Girl" in which a splendid cast of players is introduced headed by Myrtle Gonzalez. The whole presentation will prove perfectly delightful and a 10-reel show, especially with Charlie Chaplin as the leader should prove a big inducement. For a pleasant evening it is a sure grouch chaser. Sunday and Monday the noted beauty Clara Kimball Young will be seen in her very newest photoplay "The Foolish Virgin" taken from Thomas Dixon's tremendously dramatic story, and produced in a very lavish manner by Clara Kimball Young's own splendid company. The Los Angeles newspapers say: Everyone who saw it agreed it was a greater production than "The Common Law." From start to finish it held the rapt attention of every spectator. It presents a story replete with heart interest yet refreshingly free from impossible situations. The star's work is strong and convincing and she endows her role with a charm peculiarly her own. "There is enough action to suit the most particular spectator. The name of Clara Kimball Young outside of a motion picture theatre will send a lot of people inside and no one will be disappointed. In each scene there is something that stands out because of its punch. "Albert Capellani's directing demands critical approbation, and with the star's widespread reputation to create public interest in the drama, "The Foolish Virgin" should prove a sterling attraction."

She was suffering intensely on the way and it was discovered that her body was swelling to such an extent that it was necessary to unloosen her clothing. She died at the hospital within nan hour after the accident occurred, and physicians who made the examination announced that her liver was crushed, and the abnormal swelling was caused by the accumulation of blood. Both Muir and Shipman were placed under arrest by the Los Angeles authorities, but at the coroner's inquest held during the day, they were exonerated and reeled from custody. It appeared that the accident was not due to carelessness on the part of Muir, who was driving the car. Mrs. Dehn was notified Friday morning and went up to the city. The body was taken to Pierce's morgue where it remained until yesterday. Funeral services were delayed until Wednesday, awaiting arrival of friends from the east. The funeral was held at Fullerton, burial being in Loma Vista cemetery. Mrs. Dean was thirty years of age. She leaves a husband and two children, a daughter aged ten, and a son some years younger. She was a daughter of Mrs. Ida Doty, and a sister of Jack Doty, the pharmacist, a former high school student. THE NEW GRAND Two famous stars will be seen at the New Grand, this week—Charlie Chaplin and Clara Kimball Young. Charley Chaplin will be seen Friday and Saturday, March 9 and 10 in the year's greatest laughter frolie, in five screamingly funny acts of the Chaplin Revue of 1916. This has been specially arranged by the Essanay company from its greatest Charlie Chaplin comedy successes: Expert critics who have reviewed the picture declare that it is without parallel in the line of comedy and that it is one of the very few comedies that can sustain the interest and call forth laughter throughout for a PRELIMINARY FIGURES ON 1916 WOOD PULP PRODUCTION Returns from 160 wood pulp mills throughout the country, received in connection with the census of pulp production. "Albert Capellani's directing demands critical approbation, and with the star's widespread reputation to create public interest in the drama, 'The Foolish Virgin' should prove a sterling attraction." "The deserted wife of a young inventor who turned burglar because his ideas were stolen from him, she was the heroine of a series of scenes depicting adventure, love, suspense, and mystery. The reformation and final return of her husband brings the picture to a pleasing climax." "The excellent acting of principals, the satisfying photography, some familiar New York scenes and, among other touches, a delightfully realistic table at a boarding house, all add greatly to the picture, which gives one a sense of life rather than the sense of mere situation so usual in motion pictures." AN ATTRACTIVE BOOKLET An attractively illustrated booklet of several hundred orange and lemon receipes is being distributed freely by the Salt Lake Route. Every returning tourist on east-bound Salt Lake Route trains is given one of these valuable little books, to help educate the American public in the almost innumerable cooking uses of the healthful citrus fruit. Sauces, dressings, candles, salads, desserts, drinks, syrups, sherbets, relishes, punches, pies, puddings and all sorts of delicious dishes and menus are simply described. The book is full of interesting facts too, on the mineral contents of oranges and lemons, their medical value and it contains authoritative quotations from Dr. Harvey W. Wiley and other noted scientists on food values. Not only on Orange Day, March 10, but on every day in the year the Salt Lake Route will give away these orange and lemon recipe books. Its diners will offer remarkable orange menus that day. ON STOPPING The women of Riverside wake up of not only stopping ers like it. It is way to get new inrozenize those you have people are not doing they ought to. If we can produce 000 worth of foodstuff home that we now for, that means more in farming and garment improved, and more cultivation in Riverside fine and there is no not be done. Let us go a little direction. If River now spend money would trade at hot times $100,000 in a out to clerks and here. The dry good have to add several hardware men work force; the builders mill men would need Press would have hands in the blind and other industries and Saturday, March 9 and 10 in the year's greatest laughter frolic, in five screamingly funny acts of the Chaplin Revue of 1916. This has been specially arranged by the Essanay company from its greatest Charlie Chaplin comedy successes. Expert critics who have reviewed the picture declare that it is without parallel in the line of comedy and that it is one of the very few comedies that can sustain the interest and call forth laughter throughout for a length of five reels. "It is positively the funniest picture I ever saw in my life," declared one of the critics. "There is not a single moment when the interest lags and not a foot that is not packed with really riotous fun." This same view is held by everyone who has ever seen the Essanay Revue. The comedy is dissimilar to others in that it carries a distinct continuity. Where the majority of slapstick comedies could begin in the middle or be run backwards and no one realize the difference, this has a distinct introduction, with scenes following rapidly and logically in perfect sequence and leading in constructive order up to the climax in the denouement. The three comedies from which the picture is compiled have been worked over in such a way that they dovetail perfectly into each other, forming a play complete and perfect in ensemble. It is a comedy that will appear to every class of spectators, from the one who loves the slap-stick and the rapid fire action and the comic situations, to the more exacting person who can see the subtley of the various points which Charlie Chaplin brings out of the complicated situations which he weaves into the picture. Without exaggeration it is the funniest of all the funny pictures in which Chaplin has worked. And it Not only on Orange Day, March 10, but on every day in the year the Salt Lake Route will give away these orange and lemon recipe books. Its diners will offer remarkable orange menus that day. PRELIMINARY FIGURES ON 1916 WOOD PULP PRODUCTION Returns from 160 wood pulp mills throughout the country, received in connection with the census of pulp wood consumption and wood pulp production being made by the forest service in cooperation with the Newsprint Manufacturers association, shows that for the reporting mills used in 1916 3,419,000 cords of wood and had an output of approximately 2,229,000 tons of pulp. It is expected that by the middle of March reports from practically all of the mills in the country operating in 1916 will have been received. Complete figures are to be made public as soon as the remaining mills have been heard from. Of the total production of wood pulp thus far reported 973,329 tons was made by the mechanical process, 892,-110 tons by the sulphite process, 314,-085 by the soda process, and 49,053 by the sulphate process. No figures on pulp wood and wood pulp consumption have been compiled by the Forest Service since 1911, and it is expected that the present census will reveal a number of changes both as to amount and kinds of wood used. It is stated that the higher stumpage values and the decreasing supplies of spruce and hemlock, as well as improved methods of manufacture, have caused pulp makers to use increasing quantities of other woods. The final report of the census by the forest service will show by States the number of cords of each kind of wood going into each of the four processes of pulp making, as well as the average cost of the wood in the rough, now spend money would trade at high times $100,000 in a out to clerks and here.

Figures showing the production of each kind of wood pulp and the average value per ton at the mill will also be given. PROFESSIONAL BALL TEAMS SLAUGHTERED BY LOCALS Chicago Cubs and Vernon Tigers Both Meet Defeat in Orange County Two of the world's greatest professional ball teams came down into Orange county last week to give the locals a lesson in good ball playing, but both discovered that their high-salaried players were not in the same class with the Orange county amateurs. The slaughter was awful in both instances, but not unexpected, as the best ball timber in the world grows in this little county. The Chicago Cubs, the team that has won the pennant on sevral occasions, arranged a game with Santa Ana last Friday. The Cubs are now training at Pasadena and Manager Mitchell consented to bring his team down and give the Orange county fans an opportunity of witnessing a first class club in action. The Chicagoans were met at the depot in the morning with decorated automobiles and paraded about the streets. They were given a hearty welcome to the city and to our county. They were driven into the country and shown things they had never before dreamed of. They were royally feasted at noon, and then taken onto the diamond and slaughtered by an unholly score of 12 to 3. It was awful but might have been worse had the Santa Ana men been heartless. The Cubs went back to Pasadena in a bewildered state, no man being able to explain how it happened. Something similar to this occurred at Fullerton Sunday. The Vernon Tigers, one of the foremost teams of the Pacific Coast League consented to ORANGE COUNTY NOTES Weekly Reports by Physicians: The monthly meeting of the California state board of health shows that out of the nine health officers in Orange county five registered perfect scores in reports to the state bureau. Two registered good scores, rated as class "B" and the other two failed to make any showing in the report. California state law requires that a weekly report be made to the state board of health by each county health officer. The scores are based on the following scale: Perfect scores are those in which reports are sent according to law; class "B" scores are those in which over forty weekly reports are sent during the year; classes "C", "D", and "E" run down to fifteen weekly reports. In order to fail to register, as is the case with two Orange county doctors, less than fifteen weekly reports must be sent to the state capitol. Horse Rolls 200 Feet: Though he rolled 200 feet down the side of a hill, a horse owned by Forest Ranger J. B. Stephenson of El Toro has no injuries worse than bruised muscles and stiff joints to remind him of his experience. Stephenson was using the animal to pack grub to a trail builders' camp. The rains had washed out a trail on the side of a shale hill. The horse became nervous, lost his footing, went over backward, and in an instant hoofs, tail, head and pack were a whirling mass, plunging for the bottom of the hill. By the time Stephenson got to the foot of the shale his horse was on his feet looking groggy enough, but with all bones whole. The pack saddle was repaired, the grub picked up and put in place and the journey continued. were they well away from the house than they threw the blankets away. This started inquiry, and it was found that in the neighborhood the two men, one who said he was a German and the other who said he was a Hungarian, had been given no less than $10. Marez Gets Life Sentence: Judge West on Friday morning sentenced Fernando Marez to life imprisonment at Folsom for the murder of Marcos Guerra at Talbert in 1911. "No more work," said Marez to Sheriff Jackson as the sheriff took him back to jail. Marez hardly blinked an eye when the judge gave him all that the law would allow under the verdict of the jury, which was one of second degree murder. Marez is an example of "murder will out." After escaping from Talbert, he returned to Morton station in Los Angeles county. He might have been there yet had he been able to control the desire to boast. Someone who heard him reported to Los Angeles police, and Marez was jailed. MORE KINDS OF RECOGNIZED BY INDIANS Forty-Three Terms for Family Relationship Among the Kawaiisu When it comes to names for relatives, some of the Indian tribes of California have such a wealth of kinds of kinship as to make the white man seem poverty-striken, according to a paper by Edward Winslow Gifford, associate curator of the anthropological museum of the University of California, just issued in the University Publications in American Archaeology and Ethnology. Mother-in-law exhausts the resources of the English language, but it takes of a lot to be of dreamed of. They were royally feasted at noon, and then taken onto the diamond and slaughtered by an unholy score of 12 to 3. It was awful but might have worse had the Santa Ana men been heartless. The Cubs went back to Pasadena in a bewildered state, no man being able to explain how it happened. Something similar to this occurred at Fullerton Sunday. The Vernon Tigers, one of the foremost teams of the Pacific Coast League, consented to give the Fullerton boys a few pointers on fast ball, but at the end of the ninth inning found themselves walloped to the tune of 7 to 1. Orange county has furnished the world some of its greatest pall players, but there are some pretty good men still living on their native soil. ON STOPPING LEAKS The women of Riverside are going to take a hand in the campaign to stop that $100,000 leak in Riverside by having the vegetables that we now send away for grown in Riverside county, says the Press. Zona Gale, the well known and popular author, is lending important aid to this movement. In this connection the Press ventures the suggestion that the people of Riverside wake up to the importance of not only stopping this leak but others like it. It is well said that "the way to get new industries is to patronize those you have," and Riverside people are not doing that to the extent they ought to. If we can produce $50,000 or $100,000 worth of foodstuffs right here at home that we now send money away for, that means more people employed in farming and gardening, more land improved, and more money put in circulation in Riverside. That would be fine and there is no reason why it cannot be done. Let us go a little further in the same direction. If Riverside people who now spend money in Los Angeles would trade at home, a good many times $100,000 in a year would be paid out to clerks and mechanics employed here. The dry goods stores would have to add several more clerks. The hardware men would need a larger force; the builders and painters and mill men would need more hands. The Press would have to add some more hands in the bindery and job office; and other industries would respond to the beneficial results of more business. CAPISTRANO GROWERS COOPERATE: The Copistrano Walnut Growers' association has been organized, and the bulk of the mission valley crop will be handled by the association this year. A packing house that will be the most modern in California will be built at once, in time for handling the 1917 crop. Ever since the fight between the associations and the independent buyers of walnuts has been going on, the independents have kept control of the mission valley output, which runs between 400 and 500 tons per year. In the last year, some of the leading growers of the valley made a thorough investigation of the situation, and concluded to cast their lot with the associations. The newly formed organization will affiliate with the California Walnut Growers' association and will be conducted along lines identical with the lines followed by the Santa Ana Valley Walnut Growers' association. Under the articles of incorporation, the association is non profit sharing Members shall have one vote for each 2000 pounds of walnuts, or majority fraction thereof, produced. Having the experiences of all the associations of California to draw from, the mission growers will equip a packing house that will be second to none in modern appliances for the successful handling of walnuts. The packing house will be built for a capacity of probably 350 tons. Its location will likely be on the west side of the Santa Fe tracks above the depot. The cost will be in the neighborhood of $3500. The directors are C. C. Crookshank, R. B. Cook, Richard Egan, Oscar Woodward and John O. Forster. These are all well known residents of San Juan Capistrano. CANYON ROAD PROGRESS: The concrete retaining wall being when it comes to names for relatives, some of the Indian tribes of California have such a wealth of kinds of kinship as to make the white man seem poverty-stricken, according to a paper by Edward Winslow Gifford, associate curator of the anthropological museum of the University of California, just issued in the University Publications in American Archaeology and Ethnology. Mother-in-law exhausts the resources of the English language, but it takes five different words to name the five different kinds of mother-in-law among the Kayalisu Indians, who live in the Tenachapi mountains at the southern end of the San Joaquin valley. Either parent of one's spouse is known as "yeheni." If it is desired to make the term particularly affectionate one says "yehetcini." But after the death of one's spouse, the name is "yehesepuni." The mother-in-law or father-in-law of one's child, however, is not called "yeheni," but "teeni." After the death of one's child, then the parent of that child's spouse is no longer called "teeni," but "teerepuni." One's mother is known as "piyuni" so long as all her children are living, but after one's brother or sister has died, then the mother is no longer called "piyuni," but "mawuuni" which is the same term as used for one's mother's older sister, or for one's father's older brother's wife. There are forty three different terms for family relationship among the Kawalisu, and forty among the Tubatulabal, an Indian tribe living in the Kern River region in the southern Sierra Nevada whose kinsip terms Mr. Gifford describes in this same paper. The curious fact that the one word "peduni," means either daughter or niece suggests—though this is still in the field of conjecture—that at one time the institution of the "levirate" may have existed among the Kawalisu—that is, the old Biblical institution that if a man dies without offspring his brother must then marry his widow. The first child of this marriage was known among the ancient Hebrews as the child of the dead husband. Much light on the marriage customs and family and social relations of the native Indians of California is obtained by such studies as these Indian words for the expression of kinship. Such investigations throw light also on the primitive migrations of the aboriginal Americans. Thus Mr. Gifford points out that the words for some now spend money in Los Angeles would trade at home, a good many times $100,000 in a year would be paid out to clerks and mechanics employed here. The dry goods stores would have to add seevral more clerks. The hardware men would need a larger force; the builders and painters and mill men would need more hands. The Press would have to add some more hands in the bindery and job office; and other industries would respond to the beneficial results of more business. It is an easy matter to figure out where from 50 to 100 more people could be employed in Riverside, if the business which now goes out of town were kept at home. That means at least 40 or 50 more families than we now have. If we were to land a new industry that gave employment to such a number of employees that 50 new families were brought to Riverside, the papers would play up the fact in headlines as big as those used to announce the German plot; and we should just hug ourselves with delight at the achievement. It is no easy matter to secure a new industry that will bring in 10 or 20 new families. The chamber of commerce directors and committees that have been working on the problem for the last six months realize that pretty keenly. By a proper display of loyalty to home merchants and home industries, it is possible, however to provide employment for several score more people right here at home. And yet we see some public officials obsessed with the idea that they are justified in curtailing, crippling, and even putting out of business concerns in Riverside county in order to make a little saving by buying county supplies in San Francisco or Los Angeles. Is that good policy? How can we reconcile any movement to send business away from the county as consistent with the slogan, "Do it for Riverside?" Canyon Road Progress: The concrete retaining wall being built at Sulphur Slide in the Santa Ana canyon will be completed and the road open to traffic before the summer rush to the beaches, according to the statement of Contractor H. C. Kellogg. The retaining wall will be 12 feet high and reach above the flood line, thus preventing washing out of the bank at this point during future high water periods in the Santa Ana river. The point has always been the causes of trouble in maintaining the canyon road in the winter months. The contractor is now laboring at some disadvantage, as supplies and materials have to be sledded in over a temporary road. If the work is not interrupted by further floods, Kellogg says he will complete the contract within three months. Worked on Their Sympathy: Sheriff Jackson is endeavoring to get trace of two young men who were in Santa Ana seeking aid upon the ground that they were refugees from a German ship stalled in Mexico. They went to a number of former residents of Germany who now live in the northeastern part of Santa Ana, and told them that they were in dire circumstances. One of the good hearted men to whom they made an appeal fitted them out with a roll of blankets, and wished them godspeed. The young men were evidently not looking for blankets, for no sooner his widow. The first child of this marriage was known among the ancient Hebrews as the child of the dead husband. Much light on the marriage customs and family and social relations of the native Indians of California is obtained by such studies as these Indian words for the expression of kinship. Such investigations throw light, also on the primitive migrations of the aboriginal Americans. Thus Mr. Gifford points out that the words for some thirty three different family relationships in Kawalisu are so very close in form to the terms used by the Uintah Utes that the two languages, and the customs of these two Shoshonean tribes, are evidently closely related, although their tribal seats are now more than a thousand miles apart.

Fisher Building, Anaheim HIGH COST OF POTATOES DUE TO A SHORTAGE Small Crop In United States and Imports Shut Off The present high level of potato prices, which has resulted in such wide-spread rejoicing among the farmers and ranchers of California, has been brought about by perfectly natural causes. A careful investigation, based upon government reports and other accurate vehicles of information, brings this fact out in a startling manuducements held out to them, they naturally sent most of their surplus to the same section of the country. Notwithstanding the higher prices that potatoes have commanded this winter, the consumptive demand actually increased. Buyers were in a position financially to well afford to pay prices asked and even higher ones if necessary, and of course, this increased consumption quickly used up an already short supply. WATER COMMISSIONERS MAKE INVESTIGATION Small Crop in United States and Imports Shut Off The present high level of potato prices, which has resulted in such wide-spread rejoicing among the farmers and ranchers of California, has been brought about by perfectly natural causes. A careful investigation, based upon government reports and other accurate vehicles of information, brings this fact out in a startling manner. Supply and demand, that immutable law of all business transactions, has made the potato growers of the Golden state many fortunes during the past six months. A marked shortage of tubers has ruled throughout the United States for the past three months, due to an abnormally small crop produced in the United States in 1916. This shortage was not felt so badly in California, as the 1916 crop in this state was a fairly large one. For that reason consumers in California have not had to pay nearly as high prices for potatoes during December, January and February last, as the inhabitants of the Middle Western and Eastern states. Besides the short crop in the United States, there were practically no imports from foreign countries, as the submarine warfare and perilous shipping conditions prohibited the forwarding of such a consignment as potatoes, all available shipping space being contracted for months in advance for the transportation of more valuable goods. As the United States imports every year in the neighborhood of 1,000,000 bushels, the shortage was made more acute by the shutting off of this supply. California, Oregon and Washington have n consequence been called upon to supply the Eastern states with potatoes. As the growers in those states had been warned by the bulletins of the department of agriculture that there would be a great shortage of potatoes this winter, they have been able to hold their stocks, and have in consequence reaped the fruit of their wisdom in record breaking prices. The East and Middle West have been rolling in wealth for the past two years; they would have potatoes and did not care what prices they paid to get them. The surplus California crop was shipped East, on account of the high prices being paid there, and as Oregon and Washington growers had the same to the same section of the country. Notwithstanding the higher prices that potatoes have commanded this winter, the consumptive demand actually increased. Buyers were in a position financially to well afford to pay prices asked and even higher ones if necessary, and of course, this increased consumption quickly used up an already short supply. WATER COMMISSIONERS MAKE INVESTIGATION Will Report on Petition of Riverside Men who Want to Tap River W. A. Johnstone, president and A. E. Churchill, engineer of the State Water Commission, were in Orange county last week gathering information in relation to the application of W. J. Hole and E. L. Veuve for an appropriation of 850 inches of water of the Santa Ana river. Hole and Veuve in their petition declared that by taking the stream from its channel at a point just below Riverside and by conveying it in a canal to a point several miles further down they could salvage 850 inches of water. They declared that they would prevent that much waste in seepage and evaporation. Permission to carry out their plan and be allowed the use of the water on a big tract that Hole owns between Riverside and Corona has been resisted by the Santa Ana Valley Irrigation Co. and the Anaheim Union Water Co., which are very positive in their belief that the estimate of salvage is placed away too high by the petitioners. Final hearing of the petition has not yet been set. However, the two officials of the water commission gathered all the information they could concerning the conditions. Johnstone and Churchill made a trip up the main ditches of the Anaheim Union Water company to the intake, and returned on the S. A. V. I. side. Those in the party included E. E. Beazley, president of the Santa Ana River development Co., which is the holding company of the two water companies; R. J. McFadden, superintendent of the A. U. W. Co.; A. G. Finley, president, H. W. Lewis, director, and W. A. Ralph, superintendent, of the S. A. V. I. Co. The water board officials held a conference with Attorney E. E. Keech of Santa Ana, who is attorney for the two water companies.
