J. H. Whitaker was in Los Angeles Friday transacting business. Mr. and Mrs. F. A. Criss were visiting in Sawtelle Sunday. Mrs. L. R. Williams writes that she will shortly leave Pittsburg for Anaheim, where she will again make her home. Mr. and Mrs. H. O. Henderson motored to Long Beach and Los Angeles Friday. H. O. was on business bent, but Mrs. H. O. went along to see the sights. The E. Z. club was entertained on Thursday afternoon by Mrs. W. H. Houts at her home on Broadway. The rooms were tastefully decorated, peach blossoms being largely used. Five Hundred was the principal pastime of the day, Mrs. H. L. McClellan winning first prize, Mrs. J. H. Cook second and Mrs. O. H. Schumacher third. Bean growers stand a fine chance of entering the millionaire class following the harvesting of their crop at the end of next season. With the prices being offered on contracts for delivery of the crop which has not yet been planted, the growers will make double the profit they have made in any one of the best years in the history of the industry. Contracts to take the output at $8.85 per hundred pounds are now being offered the bean association by eastern brokers, and there is a strong feeling that the prices will go even higher. One of the largest realty deals made The interesting fact was brought out during Mr. Wagner's address at the luncheon the other day that it is not at all improbable, with the next decade, to see irrigable land here selling for twice or three times its present commercial value. Along the foothill boulevard, in the upper valley, Mr. Wagner said, many fine residences have been erected the past few years upon land that theretofore had been devoted to the cultivation of citrus fruits. The orchards were radically relegated to the rear, as it were. It is said that the salubrious climate of Southern California is the prime factor in making these changes. A wealthy class of people is constantly coming to the Southland, and they care not what the price is as long as the location for a home appeals to them. There is something in this state of affairs to give the meek and lowly citizen food for thought. Will all the land ultimately be in the hands of the rich? And will there be only two class of people here—the rich and the poor. State Inheritance Tax Appraiser J. N. Anderson has filed statements showing $154 tax paid by Mrs. Joanna A. Coyle, who received $32,200 from the estate of her deceased husband, Rev. Robert F. Coyle, and showing $323.19 paid by Lorene Pryor, who received $16,632 from the estate of John Jackson. The girl proved herself to be the granddaughter of Jackson's sister. Jackson died a hermit at Santa Ana, and it was months before any heir was located. Billy Daniels, fast outfielder, who has been playing with Fullerton this winter, has been signed by the Joplin, Mo. club in the Western league. He will report the latter part of this month.

Contracts to take the output at $8.85 per hundred pounds are now being offered the bean association by eastern brokers, and there is a strong feeling that the prices will go even higher. One of the largest realty deals made in this section for some time was pulled last week when C. C. Chapman sold a 23-acre orange grove of Valencia oranges to Victor Yatts and Harry Shaner, the consideration being $71,000. The ground is set to 12-year-old trees. Mrs. Anton Schulte is having her residence on South Los Angeles street replastered, preparatory to occupying it in the near future. There are between 10,000 and 12,000 sacks of lima beans stored in Orange county by owners waiting for "the prices to go up." There is a good deal of sugar still here, and a number of carloads of potatoes are to be counted. Seed corn of all kinds at Gardner's, 114 N. Los Angeles St. Friends of Henry Rothenberg recently received letters from him announcing that he is still among the living and still in the German army although he is not in the trenches. He was formerly a chief gunner in charge of one of the great 17-inch howitzers, but was recently promoted, and is now at headquarters of the Crown Prince near Verdun. His letter gave no particulars of his advancement, and tells nothing of the situation on that battle-scarred front. His letter was written merely to assure his Anaheim friends that he is alive and well. Jackson died a hermit at Santa Ana, and it was months before any beir was located. Billy Daniels, fast outfielder, who has been playing with Fullerton this winter, has been signed by the Joplin, Mo. club in the Western league. He will report the latter part of this month.

Carl Hagen, a druggist of Westminster, has been arrested on a charge of selling liquor illegally. Mrs. Bert Wilson, whose husband was recently sent to Patton, was the complaining witness. Mrs. William Jackson was visiting friends in Los Angeles Saturday. With new machinery costing between $10,000 and $12,000 to be installed before the opening of the season, the Placentia Canning company will place its cannery in the forefront as introducing a product not now made in Southern California. The new equipment is for the making of concentrated tomato products. The cannery will enter the market with two products that will bring it fame and wealth—Tomato Puree and Tomato Paste. Machinery for this grade of edibles has been installed in factories in the northern part of the state, the Placentia cannery being the first in Southern California to take up this class of manufacture. J. L. Stevenson, manager of the cannery, was in the district last week making investigation as to acreage that might be obtained in that vicinity for tomatoes for the plant.

Whaley, oldest restaurant man in Orange has closed his lunch room on South Glassell street in Orange and has moved to this city where he will enter the same business. Mr. Whaley also has a restaurant at Brea and his location at Anaheim will be more convenient for the management of both establishments. The supervisors recently passed a resolution asking State Senator Evans and Assemblyman Burke to vote against Bill 603, which provided that every county shall maintain a school for delinquents. Objection to the plan was presented to the board by Judge Thomas, who has a letter from Los Angeles probation officers, who stated that the schools are unnecessary. In the overturning of a machine near San Juan Capistrano, Egbert Post of Long Beach had his hip dislocated, and C. C. Gosebeck of Los Angeles had his face cut and body bruised. Gosebeck's brother escaped unharmed. The two injured men were taken to the Santa Ana hospital. When the machine went over the two brothers were thrown clear. Post was planned under the machine. The machine was going rapidly when the driver, C. C. Gosebeck lost control of it, and it turned turtle. J. H. Whitaker, secretary of the Anaheim board of trade, went over to Olive on Thursday and removed a sign which had been placed conspicuously at that place, bearing the legend, "Anaheim, The Frostless Belt." No other wording appeared upon the sign which naturally was misleading. People would take it to mean that "Olive" was "Anaheim," which, while Olive is a sprightly little neighbor, still it would President Wagner, of the Los Angeles Realty Board, who spoke before the business men's luncheon on Thursday, in speaking of the unscrupulous real estate agents who infest the land, called them "pirates." This class of men are dangerous, and under the guise of the law, do a community much harm through their fraudulent practices, especially when dealing with strangers, or with unsuspecting people, who are not well versed in the ordinary business affairs of the day. Mr. Wagner, who is in a position to get inside facts of many of the land pirates' crooked deals, gave an illustration of how they operated in a neighboring county recently. A gang of these unsavory promoters bought a large tract of mountainous railroad land, close to a prosperous city, and advertised it broadcast in the Middle West as being within two miles of the modern city and offering it for sale at a few hundred dollars per acre. Many people were defrauded by buying the land, for while it was only two miles from the city it was also about two miles up in the air—practically worthless. The schemers were later convicted and sent to jail. Because of the insurrection in Peru Dr. Clarence Perdoma, who has been living at Lima, the capital of that country for the past several years, has moved to Bolivia. If the doctor expects to escape revolutions in South America by moving across the boundary line, he should keep his household goods packed. Mrs. Willoughby Rodman, superintendent of the Southern California Division of the Commission for relief in Belgium, recently addressed a meeting of the Placentia Orange Growers association asking that the members donate something towards the relief for the starving Belgian women and children. Following her speech a resolu J. H. Whitaker, secretary of the Anaheim board of trade, went over to Olive on Thursday and removed a sign which had been placed conspicuously at that place, bearing the legend, "Anaheim, The Frostless Belt." No other wording appeared upon the sign which naturally was misleading. People would take it to mean that "Olive" was "Anaheim," which, while Olive is a sprightly little neighbor, still it would be confusing to allow the impression to go out as depicted upon the signboard, that Anaheim was located where Olive now flourishes, with its picturesque foothill surroundings and other scenic attractions. J. Berman and M. Rubin, against whose operations at San Juan Capistrano a county ordinance was recently adopted prohibiting the taking and sale of pictures on county highways, have registered a strong protest against the ordinance. They claim to be doing a legitimate business in the Mission town, making pictures of auto parties passing through which the parties do not have to buy unless they wish, making the pictures in one minute and selling them at 12½ cents each. They allege "spite work" is responsible for the action against them, and have made arrangements for a hearing with county officials.

Deck of Santa Ana, had his Overland car badly wrecked and himself escaped serious injury Sunday evening when he was bumped into by the Southern Pacific 6:25 train at the Lemon street crossing. Deck was on his way home from Los Angeles, and apparently did not notice the train or miscalculated its speed. The rear of the auto was hit by the locomotive and the car seriously damaged. Mr. Deck was only slightly injured. Seeing the oncoming train, and knowing that his auto would not clear the track, Deck jumped from the car, fell prostrate on the ground, and when the engine hit the rear end of the machine, the auto was hurled bodily over the prostrate man, missing him by only a few inches. Only a sprained wrist and the remains of an automobile are left to remind him of the experience. "I'm certainly glad I left the wife and babies in Los Angeles," said Deck. "I had been to take them to my wife's mother's place in Los Angeles to stay a week, and was on my way home when the accident happened. When I saw the train coming, I jumped as far forward as I could in order to clear the track, and just as I landed I heard the crash. All was darkness for a second, then I got up and picked up my hat. The car was standing across the street facing the way the train was going, standin jump, 220-yard older shot, 440 yards distant April The will be second building Crasten on Kansa H.

Following her speech a resolution was offered and unanimously adopted instructing the board of directors to work out the most feasible plan whereby the proceeds of one car of navel oranges could be turned over to the fund. The matter was left to a vote of members to be decided on March 16. Based on last year's shipments the donation would amount to about 1-6th of a cent a box. The struggle among the high school athletes at the annual track meet at Santa Ana tomorrow is expected to be exciting. The Anaheim boys have it doped out that they will win, but the Fullerton, Santa Ana and Orange high schools are making extensive claims. A large crowd of enthusiastic rooters will accompany the locals and endeavor to cheer them to victory. It is predicted that several records will be broken. Mr. and Mrs. L. P. Nichols entertained a number of high school teachers Thursday evening, the occasion being Mr. Nichols' birthday. A very enjoyable evening was spent. This office has just received a copy of the prospectus of the College of Agriculture, recently issued by the University of California. It gives a comprehensive review of the work being accomplished by the state's farm school. Federal officials are now searching for a woman said to be a member of the Von Ingle-Fritzen spy band, who it is reported, has been a frequent visitor to friends in Anaheim. She occasionally mingles with the millionaire colony in Pasadena, and is said to be a memer of a noble Austrian family. Who her Anaheim friends are is not at present known.

The league went on record as opposing the bill appropriating half a million dollars for the construction of a coast boulevard from Oxnard to San Juan Capistrano. Mr. Mills was given authority to circulate petitions asking Senator Evans and Assemblyman Burke to vote against the bill. Seed potatoes and eating potatoes at Gardner's, 114 N. Los Angeles St. Mr. and Mrs. Matters entertained the Katella Card club at their hospital home on Friday evening.

Deck: "I had been to take them to my wife's mother's place in Los Angeles to stay a week, and was on my way home when the accident happened. When I saw the train coming, I jumped as far forward as I could in order to clear the track, and just as I landed I heard the crash. All was darkness for a second, then I got up and picked up my hat. The car was standing across the street facing the way the train was going, and the front and rear cushions were 30 feet away in a nearby field." GRAMMAR SCHOOL PUPILS WILL HAVE TRACK MEET To Be Held at Fullerton on Saturday, April 28 At a meeting of the association of grammar school principals of Orange country Saturday a resolution was passed condemning a measure that is before the legislature aiming to do away with special school taxes. It is by the special tax that districts that desire extra teachers, extra repairs and small buildings can get the money to meet the bills, which could not be paid out of the usual income. The association endorsed several bills that will increase the income of elementary schools. Arrangements were made for a county grammar school track meet to be held at Fullerton on April 28. County Secretary R. G. Cole will have charge. The boys will be divided into three groups, ribbons to go to winners. The groups are all boys of the Sixth, Seventh and Eighth grades under 12 years af age; second group of boys between 12 and 14 and the third group for boys over 14. There will be contests in the running broad jump, running high jump, and babies in Los Angeles," said Deck. "I had been to take them to my wife's mother's place in Los Angeles to stay a week, and was on my way home when the accident happened. When I saw the train coming, I jumped as far forward as I could in order to clear the track, and just as I landed I heard the crash. All was darkness for a second, then I got up and picked up my hat.

Two gentlemen and a lady came out of the Valencia hotel Monday afternoon and sauntered up the street. They paused on the Los Angeles street corner, and a Gazette man chanced to be close enough to hear a portion of their conversation. "This," said one of the gentlemen, "is the prettiest town we have seen in all our travels." "Yes," replied the other gentleman, "this is, I think, the most beautiful town I ever saw. It is neat and clean, the business buildings are modern, and the new ones in course of construction indicate that the people are enterprising and alive. This is certainly a prosperous community."
