CONTRACT IS LET FOR LIGHTING DISTRICT SOUTHERN CALIFORNIA EDISON COMPANY WILL SUPPLY PLACENTIA AND BUENA PARK WITH JUICE SUPERVISORS WILL HEAR REPORT OF ORANGE COUNTY HARBOR COMMISSION DECEMBER 27 The board of supervisors at the last session opened bids for supplying Placenta lighting district with electricity, and contract was warded to the Southern California Edison company for $1.25 per month per lamp of 40 candle power series tungsten lamps. The Edison company was also awarded the contract for supplying Buena Park lighting district with juice at the same price. The salary of motor traffic officer was fixed at $150 per month from December 1, 1917 said officers to furnish all equipment. Delhi drainage district was granted permission to construct and maintain a drainage ditch on a six foot strip extending from S.E. corner of Lot 2, Block D west to the S.W. corner of lot 5, block D of Berry tract. The bonds deposited by Edward M. Chadbourne on the contract for surfacing Buena Park road were ordered returned to said contractor. ers as a rule are insisting that the fruit be picked to avoid possible frost injury, and it is predicted by shippers that practically all the navels will be in the packing houses by the end of December. Under existing transportation conditions it is difficult to tell just how the daily movement of fruit will run, as the railroads can give no assurance of a supply of cars. To date, no navels have appeared in any of the auction markets to indicate how they are regarded by the trade; and, under existing conditions, shippers at this end say they are not quoting any but their regular trade, who will readily absorb their entire supply. While no set price is quotable for this reason, it is generally understood that central California navels are generally selling on a basis of $3.50 f.o.b. In Southern California district shipping has been halted by inspectors from the horticultural commissioner's office, who have refused to allow navels to be packed in several of the houses in Orange county because they did not come up to the Inspector's views on what constitutes "substantially colored" as within the meaning of the law. The action of the inspectors has caused considerable excitement among shippers who have fruit that they are anxious to move, and State Commissioner of Horticulture Hecke has been appealed to for an opinion on fruit in one house that was ordered dumped by the inspector. One instance has come to the notice of the Fruit World where a whole orchard was stripped of fruit, the majority of which showed little or no color, and it is the attempt on the part of one or two shippers to pull off a deal of this kind that causes drastic inspection rules which in many instances work hardship on shippers who mean to live up to the letter of This somewhat established mum value for orchards in view of the exceeding relative values that sell the state bring about a good thing.

Delai drainage district was granted permission to construct and maintain a drainage ditch on a six foot strip extending from S.E. corner of Lot 2, Block D west to the S.W. corner of lot 5, block D of Berry tract. The bonds deposited by Edward M. Chadbourne on the contract for surfacing Buena Park road were ordered returned to said contractor. Blds for surfacing Buena Park road with Topeka Top were opened and the contract was awarded to the L.A. Paving company for 6.5 cents per sq. foot. Blds were opened for paving county road in Laguna road district, and the matter of awarding the contract was continued to Dec. 7, 1917, at 2 p.m. Blds were opened for the improvement of Santa Ana canyon road, sections 1 and 3, and the matter of warding the contract was continued to Dec. 7, 1917, at 2 p.m. The county auditor was ordered to cancel warrant No. 9760, said warrant being a duplicate. The county auditor was directed to cancel part of assessment No. 4577, assessed to L.Vandermark. The county auditor was directed to transfer $3000 from the auto license road fund to the general road fund; $600 from the county general fund to the harbor fund; $750 from the general road fund to the Bolsa road fund and $850 from the general road fund to the Newhope road fund. The time for hearing the report of the Orange county harbor commission was fixed for Thursday, December 27, 1917, at 10 a.m., and the clerk was ordered to give notice of said hearing as required by law. The county auditor was directed to cancel part of assessment No. 6670, Vol. 4, page 257, assessed to R.A. Adams. A separate fund was created for moneys received from the state motor vehicle department, to be known as auto license road fund. The contract with Steele Finley for paving of San Juan Hot Springs road was ordered signed, and the bonds approved. The contract with Wells & Bressler for paving of west approach to Olive bridge was ordered signed and the bonds approved.

One instance has come to the notice of the Fruit World where a whole orchard was stripped of fruit, the majority of which showed little or no color, and it is the attempt on the part of one or two shippers to pull off a deal of this kind that causes drastic inspection rules which in many instances work hardship on shippers who mean to live up to the letter of the law and have fruit that comes within the "substantially colored" interpretation. Some interests favor the rigid inspection others believe it rank favoritism; but one thing is certain and that is that aside from the possibility of damage by storm or cold there can be no sound reason for an insane desire to rush immature fruit to market. Valencia shipments are still going forward at the rate of 30 cars daily: but, with the exception of a few cars of "off bloom" fruit, this week will see Valencias well cleaned up. Prices on best stock Valencias are holding steady on the eastern markets, but poor, wasty stock is meeting with slow sale at lower prices. The Valencias are dead ripe and the poorer grades come into keen competition with Porto Rico oranges. The lemon situation remains practically unchanged and prices depend entirely upon sizes, varying from $1 to $3 a box. Three hundreds size are selling at a premium. Growers report a good crop of lemons setting on the trees, and, with favorable weather conditions, a total crop of at least 6,500 cars is looked for according to present estimates. CALIFORNIA RECORD IN FOOD California is setting a world record in the shipment of perishable fruits and other foods this fall, according to a statement issued by the Southern Pacific railway. From July 1 to October 1 this road carried 27,000 cars out of the state eastbound, an average of 300 cars a day. A volume of traffic of this character which it is said has never been equalled anywhere. The railroads own equipment of 12,500 cars has been supplemented by 8,000 to 9,000 cars leased for traffic, and new cars are being put into service as fast as they can be secured. Every car of California perishables represents potential products provide the principal source of income loan can be made. 3.

The Golden West Citrus association was granted permission to lay water pipe line under pavement on Newport road. WEEKLY REVIEW OF CITRUS CONDITIONS The "Pacific Fruit World" in its review of the California citrus fruit market for the week ending Friday, December 7, says: The revised estimate on the total crop of navels in central California, which shows a total of between 1,260 and 1,500 cars for the entire district, is now beginning to dawn on the eastern trade in its full significance. The trade in most districts now realizes that someone is going to be mighty short on supplies of navels and shippers are already reporting increased activity on the part of buyers, now that the full extent of the navel shortage has been verified. Crop estimates in both Central and Southern districts report an exceptionally light setting of fruit on the inside of the trees, the extent of which has become more apparent with the showing of color on the fruit. Shipments to date from central California districts have totaled 593 cars, leaving in the neighborhood of 800 cars to go to wind up the season. Grow- Anaheim Gazette This somewhat establishes a maximum value for orchard property and in view of the exceedingly high speculative values that some sections of the state bring about through residential and other local reasons, is possibly a good thing. This maximum loan value applies only to class A orchards and what is class A orchard land is specifically defined in the ruling. Some misapprehension has followed published statements concerning this ruling of the federal land bank here. In that it is though to apply only to citrus orchards. This is not true, as the ruling applies to deciduous as well as citrus fruits. The ruling is down under the head of "Principles to be used by the Federal Land Bank of Berkeley in making loans on orchard lands," and reads: 1. Class A orchard definition. Proven, adaptable land, with valid and sufficient water supply which could be profitably used for other crops than orchards. Trees not exceeding 20 years of age and to be in full bearing, free from disease and which has a record of better than average crops over a period of not less than five years. 2. Where a loan is desired on a parcel of land less than five acres in area, it must be demonstrated to the satisfaction of the bank that such land constitutes an actual farm and that its products provide the applicant's principal source of income. Otherwise no loan can be made. 3. Upon lands which have no substantial agricultural value, except for orchards, no loans will be made. 4. Upon young trees not yet in full bearing, loans will be based on the land as to its adaptability for other agricultural crops plus a reasonable consideration on the cost of planting and the age of the trees. 5. No other than young orchards. This year is the first that the tomato industry has been given any great attention in that section. Shipments have been going out almost daily for two months, and will continue until stopped by frost or rain. Up to date something like 12 cars have been shipped and the product has been sent not only to Los Angeles, but to points all along the coast as far north as Seattle. It is expected that the total shipments for the season will be over 15 carloads of 2 tons each, which will bring the growers approximately $15,000. Next year, according to present plans, there will be between 600 and 700 acres planted to tomatoes. Some of the avocado growers on the tract expect to be marketin g their fruit in considerable quantities next year, and it was suggested that they should join in with the tomato growers. They did not think it advisable at present, however, for the reason that they have not determined what method of marketing will be adopted. SACRIFICES HIS FINGER THROUGH PATRIOTISM Fullerton Man Refuses to be Turned Down by Examiners We formerly knew of a man who sacrificed a finger in order to escape service in the army, but here is one who had a digit amputated in order to break in to the army. Frank Treadwell of Fullerton, has patriotism and some to spare. Several times he has attempted to get into Uncle Sam's service, but without avail, and all because he had a crooked finger on his left hand. It was the third finger and it had been doubled under since childhood. He could not pass the drafft examination on account of this finger. Two or three monkey wrench. A Mexican standing near saald 'Don't kill him!' I was nearly choked and gave one yell and then was almost unconscious. They thought I was dead and ran away." As soon as Nochols was able he sent a call in to the sheriff's office and Under Sheriff Iman was sent to Delhi. He stated that Nichols was still blue in the face, and in a weakened condition. The officer told him that the best thing to do was to come to the district attorney's office Monday morning and get out a complaint against Pryar. This Nichols did, but he stated that he was refused the complaint as he was told that the matter would have to be investigated further since his word and that of the Mexican was not sufficient evidence. BY THE HUNDRED THOUSAND By indirection, we learn that there are at least 600,000 American soldiers in France. This has not been announced by the committee on public information at Washington, but the news is given out that 600,000 Christmas packages have been sent to troops abroad, and there are few of them which did not go to France. The fact that so many soldiers have been transported across the Atlantic in safety is eloquent of the care and the skill with which the transport service has been conducted. Even allotting 5000 men to the ship—and only the largest transports carry so many—that means that 120 ships have threaded the mazes of the seas occasionally by the submarine menace, and not one of them has fallen victim to the kaiser's frightfulness. Doubtless most of the regular army is already in France, but recent troop movements have included many of the products provide the applicant's principal source of income. Otherwies no loan can be made. 3. Upon lands which have no substantial agricultural value, except for orchards, no loans will be made. 4. Upon young trees not yet in full bearing, loans will be based on the land as to its adaptability for other agricultural crops plus a reasonable consideration on the cost of planting and the age of the trees. 5. No other than young orchards, trees will not be regarded as a basis for enhancing the basic agricultural value of the land unless satisfactory profits evidenced, preferably by packing house returns for a series of years can be shown. 6. Where loans are based on high value—such as class A orchard land—the term of the loan will be related to the age of the orchard and its proven productivity. Where high productivity is shown it must be assumed that borrowers will be willing and able to meet the increased payments of shorter termed loans. On such land the term of the loan will be limited to 15 years. 7. Upon orchards while not considered as class A, but which show average profit returns, reasonable consideration will be given as to the enhancement of the general value of the land provided such land meets the proper requirements as to its adaptability for other agricultural crops. 8. No loan exceeding $400 an acre will be made. This is subject to the approval of the full board of directors of the Federal Land Bank of Berkeley. MARRIED MEN TO BE ACCEPTED IN ARMY Married men may now enlist in the regular army regardless of their dependents. This rule was issued through telegraphic instructions to all recruiting officers of the United States army by the war department and removes a barrier-of-married men enlisting. Any department of the war is open for their enlistment, the orders further say. Heretofore a strict rule forbade the enlistment of married men, unless he signed an affidavit swearing the folks were not dependent upon him. The rule is expected to greatly stimulate recruiting in all sections of the country. It also brings stern realization of the need of men for the army. AUTOMOBILE COLLISION CAUSES A SCRAP Delhi Storekeeper Choked by an Trade Citizen Because Mrs. Pryar ran into a machine belonging to Albert Naman of Anaheim, which was standing in front of John Nicol's store at Delhi Saturday, and because of complications while harose therefrom, J. H. Pryar of Delhi nearly choked Nicols to death in his own store Sunday afternoon according to Nichols' story. Nichols states that on Saturday afternoon, Mrs. Pryar, in turning her machine around upon leaving the store, ran into an automobile which was also standing in front of the store. Both machines were slightly damaged. About a half hour later service in the army, but here is one who had a digit amputated in order to break in to the army. Frank Treadwell of Fullerton, has patriotism and some to spare. Several times he has attempted to get into Uncle Sam's service, but without avail, and all because he had a crooked finger on his left hand. It was the third finger and it had been doubled under since childhood. He could not pass the drafft examination on account of this finger. Two or three times he has attempted to enlist but it was no go. He could not get by with that finger. The other day he thought the aviation corps might take him if he did have a game finger. He had much to recommend him. For four years he had been a faithful machinist in the employ of Albert Sitton's garage, and is an A-1 mechanic. These are the kind the aviation branch is looking for. So Treadwell proposed to take one more chance and took a trip to headquarters to see if he could get in. He applied and the authorities looked him over. "Well, what about it?" he asked, after the inspection. "That finger is against you" was the reply. "Have that finger taken off and we'll take you." "That's a bargain," Treadwell explained as he grabbed his cap and left for home. That was a few days ago. Thursday Treadwell went to the Fullerton hospital and submitted to an operation. The finger is off and he soon will be ready for the aviation corps. Doubtless most of the regular army is already in France, but recent troop movements have included many of the national guard units, and 33 states of the union are now represented by their own troops in France. California is of the states not yet drawn upon but doubtless within a few weeks it will be. The famous Rainbow division, which had been at Camp Mills, Hempstead, Long Island, was moved entire, and of its departure, the following graphic account is now given out: "In the darkest hour which precedes the dawn, thousands of Sammles of the Rainbow division marched away from their camp here en route to France while the townsfolk cheered and showered them with gifts. Details of the Rainbow's secret departure can now be told, following the announcement that this unit had safely arrived "over there." "About 3 a.m. on October 15, the Rainbow division engineers marched away. Last farewells had been said several days previously when every man was given an extra long leave. Many married during that furlough. "As the engineers tramped through the dark to their entraining point, the townspeople of villages scattered around this part of Long Island dressed hastily and came to their doors in the chill of early morning, to bid the departing boys Godspeed. "This was the beginning of an exodus that lasted more than a week. During that time 27,000 men, fully equipped for fighting, with all their baggage and paraphernalia, marched out of Camp Mills en route to France. Hundreds of residents were in on the great secret, but that secret was kept. While the nation slept thousands of Rainbow boys embarked on their transports.

GROWERS BUILDING HOUSE FOR TOMATOES Yorba Linda Ranchers Are Preparing To Form Association So important has the shipping of tomatoes from Yorba Linda become that the growers are now making preparations to form an association and erect a packing house. This year's shipments will bring a large amount of money to the tract, but next season the acreage will be largely increased, and the shipping of tomatoes promises to become one of the important industries of the district. It is not improbable that later the avocado growers will join in with the tomato men. They have been invited to do so, but as yet their plans for shipping when their trees begin to bear are not yet sufficiently mature for them to take any definite action. While no formal steps have been taken toward organization as yet, the tomato men have talked things over among themselves and are practically agreed on what they purpose to do. A meeting is to be called in the near future for the purpose of forming an association. It is proposed to build the packing house on the vacant land just east of the P. E. station, and it is understood that the tomato men expect some help from the Pacific Electric on the project. of John Nicol's store at Delhi Saturday, and because of complications which harbose therefrom, J. H. Pryar of Delhi nearly choked Nicols to death in his own store Sunday afternoon according to Nichols' story. Nichols states that on Saturday afternoon, Mrs. Pryar, in turning her machine around upon leaving the store, ran into an automobile which was also standing in front of the store. Both machines were slightly damaged. About a half hour later, Pryar came along and asked Nichols to whom the machine belonged. Nichols told him it belonged to Albert Naman of Anaheim. A little later Pryar came back again and stated that Nichols had misinformed him. "He made some remark that I couldn't hear, as I was busy with a customer, and went on out of the store," said Nichols. Sunday at about noon Pryar returned with his father-in-law, J. Damaran. The two were hauling some furniture in a wagon. Both of them got off of the wagon, and the father-in-law remained outside with a monkey wrench in his hand. Pryar came into the store, and said: "Why didn't you tell me that was your machine that was in front of your store yesterday?" Nichols told him that it was Naman's automobile, as he had informed Pryar the day before. "You are a liar!" Pryar yelled at him. "At that I told him I'd go outside and fight if he wanted to, for calling me that name," said Nichols. "I came from behind the counter and had gotten half way to the door when he jumped for my neck and began to choke me before I knew what he was trying to do. His father-in-law said to bring me outside and he would kill me. Pryar dragged me out and said that he would kill me himself, while the other fellow tried to hit me with Hundreds of residents were in on the great secret, but that secret was kept.

ANAHEIM BOY NAMED IN CASUALTY LIST AT FRONT Relatives of Victor D. Loly had not received word from him for some time but thought that he had been transferred from the battle lines in France to have him leave to join the Canadians. They have just received a bulletin from the war department with the weekly casualty list and his name is contained therein among the wounded. Young Loly was a popular fellow in this city and his friends were sorry to have him leave to join the Canadian troops long before this country entered the war. He made good and was planning to enter the aviation corps when he was wounded. Nothing definite has been received as to the seriousness of the wounds but his friends hope that he will soon be on the way to a rapid recovery. SAN BERDOO WILL ANSWER NATION'S WHEAT CALL Mr. Hoover has asked San Bernardino county through the farm adviser, to increase the acreage sown to wheat and aid thereby in winning the war. Last year, as far as is known, only 10 or 15 acres of wheat was harvested in the county, but this year probably over 500 acres will be planted to the crop so much needed to feed the armies in Europe. Much of this is planted in only 10 to 15 acre tracts, and if these prove profitable this year it is reasonable to believe that San Bernardino will contribute many times 500 acres next year as her share in the war, writes H. F. Bahmeier, the county farm adviser. The growing of wheat has been taken up in the farm bureau meetings and the situation explained. The grain planters were then visited and the notice of the campaign made principal districts which will try wheat this year, although some wheat will be planted on the desert. The Calaveras Prospect tells of a new upstate industry. It says hundreds of people are out gathering acorns and feeding them to heir hogs, chickens and turkeys, thus saving wheat for flour. Many of them are shipping the acorns, being paid $1.60 per 100 pounds for them. Big hogs from little acorns grow. The list of La Habra boys leaving their homes for the camps of the army and navy is growing daily. The latter part of last week Ray Redfern and Paul Wilbur went with a well digging company to San Francisco. Another lad who enlisted last week was Joe Seesina, and with him was a friend, A. Pilaria, who has spent much time in La Habra. They will leave next week for San Pedro, to be stationed at the naval base there. Gene Stanfield and Milton Gard have applied for enlistment in the aviation corps. planted in only 10 to 15 acre tracts, and if these prove profitable this year it is reasonable to believe that San Bernardino will contribute many times 500 acres next year as her share in the war, writes H. F. Bahmeier, the county farm adviser. The growing of wheat has been taken up in the farm bureau meetings and the situation explained. The grain planters were then visited and the notice of the campaign made known. The treatment of seed wheat for smut cannot be over emphasized. The treatment with bluestone is inexpensive and an assurance against crop loss by smut can thereby be given to the grower. Where rust has caused the loss of much wheat in previous years, Sonora should not be planted as this variety is quite susceptible to rust. The Defiance variety has been selected for rust resistance and is a good yielder as well.
