COST OF BUILDING IS SOARING UPWARD MANY YEARS BEFORE MATERIAL IS CHEAPER IS PREDICTION OF A PROMINENT CONTRACTOR STATEMENT REMOVES PROPS FROM ARGUMENT OF OPPONENTS OF NEW CITY HALL The following statement, made by a man prominent in the building industry is submitted for the consideration of those Anaheim people who are objecting to the construction of a new city hall at this time owing to the high cost of materials: "A few property owners, builders and investors continue to hold back on contemplated structural work on the plea that the cost of building is too high. For the man who is speculating in high rental property or building for the purpose of selling at a good profit, this is undoubtedly an uncertain time to erect any building unless positively assured of tenants or a buyer before his contract is let. "If an owner has a good, logical reason for building, if he wants to build a home to live in or an income structure for which good judgment tells him returns are assured, there is absolutely no earthly reason why he should put it off. To put off building such sensible building projects simply because building materials are higher is justified neither by present conditions nor the future out- In 1914 to $9 and $11 today, about 40 per cent. "Plaster advanced about 35 per cent and lumber about the same. while labor—carpenters, bricklayers, plasterers—shows an average increase of 16 per cent." "These new prices will never be lowered materially and will without doubt advance for some time to come. "There is a far better speculative value for money in future building under present conditions and prices than can be shown if it is invested in almost anything throughout the high-pressure list. "Even in the stock market, which does not interest the average man, the big plungers realize that copper, zinc, iron, lead and oil, all of which show 100 per cent increase, are risky simply because they have reached the maximum in price. OUR LOANS TO OUR ALLIES The loans made by the United States to the governments at war with Germany are arranged by Secretary of the Treasury McAdoo and submitted to the president and made with his approval. The secretary states that his judgment in making these loans is determined largely by the monthly requirements of the applicants. The different powers, through their duly authorized representatives make their representations as to their necessities for carrying on the war, and after discussion the various amounts are arrived at. These loans says the secretary, are essential for our own protection, not only for our protection in a military way but for our economic protection and welfare. The production of the United States has been speeded up and greatly stimulated. We are producing more than our own needs and our own economic protection and welfare demand that we sell much of our products to our allies. To accomplish this we must extend these credits to THE VALENCIA It is decidedly no one's imagination that Valencia may squabble about immigrant year, partially in lack of cars, but large Valencia cross California Valencia reach the Eastern Christmas time.

"If an owner has a good, logical reason for building, if he wants to build a home to live in or an income structure for which good judgment tells him returns are assured, there is absolutely no earthly reason why he should put it off. To put off building such sensible building projects simply because building materials are higher is justified neither by present conditions nor the future outlook. "Just so surely as building materials and labor are high now, they are going to go still higher and will continue to remain at an advanced price for a long time to come, with the prospect of never returning to the old basis. "As long as the war lasts the present demand of the government, and the spurred-up industries of the country for about everything the builder requires, will keep prices up. After the war we will be called on to rebuild the devastated sections of Europe and also take care of an avalanche of long-held-back structural enterprises which will use up materials faster than they can be produced. "Many of our largest corporations have representative engineers and investigators in Europe who are making or are prepared to make a survey of the needs, market conditions, agricultural and manufacturing requirements there so that they will be in a position to handle this trade when the war is over. New markets are also opening up in South America which have heretofore been practically unknown to use manufactured products with the U.S. trademark. "The whole scheme of doing business in the past has been most radically altered within the last year or two and a process of far reaching adjustment will require several years after the close of the war. "There is another aspect that the prospective builder should take into consideration and that is the fact that practically everything in all lines of food products as well as building materials and labor are very high. And yet when consulting the statistics showing the prevailing advance in price of all products within the past three years we find that the price of building materials and labor have not advanced in price as rapidly or as high as other commodities." These loans says the secretary, are essential for our own protection, not only for our protection in a military way but for our economic protection and welfare. The production of the United States has been speeded up and greatly stimulated. We are producing more than our own needs and our own economic protection and welfare demand that we sell much of our products to our allies. To accomplish this we must extend these credits to enable them to buy our products. Their commercial salvation is an essential part of their effectiveness in the war, and their commercial wellbeing demands that their export trade be maintained in a considerable measure. They must keep their civil population engaged to the extent necessary to sustain their industrial and economic existense. It is sound economic policy on our part to assist them in maintaining their industrial life and economic welfare. Very little of the money loaned to our allies, the secretary states, goes out of the United States. Most of it is spent right here for war materials and food stuffs. The money we are advancing is not a contribution; it is a loan, on which they will pay interest and which ultimately will be repaid in full. Our allies are looked upon by us as solvent peoples, without ready money but with perfectly good credit. Their expenditures of this money in this country are supervised by us. Their purchases are made with the advice and assistance of our war industries board. This system not only protects the borrowing ally but prevents competitive bidding against the other allies and the United States itself, and obtains for the borrower the same prices, the same terms and the same treatment our own government demands in making its own purchases. When one remembers that the loans made to our allies enable them to do the fighting that otherwise the American army would have to do at much expense, not only of men but of money, money which would not be returned to us and lives that could never be restored, the wisdom of our policy in financing our allies is plain to every one. It is not only a duty to them that we are performing in lending them part of our great wealth; it is a great duty we are performing to our soldiers and sailors and our nation in making our allies powerful and effective, thus lessening the work and various amounts are arrived at.

THE INTERNET Some purchaser bonds, who have reports of the treat the United States German civilians in consideration and that is the fact that practically everything in all lines of food products as well as building materials and labor are very high. And yet when consulting the statistics showing the prevailing advance in price of all products within the past three years we find that the price of building materials and labor have not advanced in price as rapidly or as high as other commodities. "In contradiction to the assertion, so often heard that this is not an economical time to build, I want to offer a few facts to prove that the present time is favorable to the legitimate investor. "The year 1914 was considered a very economical year for building operations. Keeping in mind the purchasing power of the dollar in its relation to food products we find (by consulting the price statistics for that period) that 100 bushels of wheat would buy just $100 worth of building materials, while today it will buy $280 worth of the same materials. A hundred bushels of corn in 1914 would have bought $70 worth of building materials and today it will buy over $200 worth. Oats then would have bought less than one-half of the materials which the same quantity would buy today. "Hogs were $7 per hundredweight, today they are around $17, and cotton, worth $10 then, is selling at $24 and going higher. "Farm products have on the average more than doubled inside of three years. The contrasting difference in the advance in building materials will be a surprise to many people. "Cement has advanced generally about 40 per cent. Common brick advanced from $7 to $8 per thousand expense, not only of men but of money, money which would not be returned to us and lives that could never be restored, the wisdom of our policy in financing our allies is plain to every one. It is not only a duty to them that we are performing in lending them part of our great wealth; it is a great duty we are performing to our soldiers and sailors and our nation in making our allies powerful and effective, thus lessening the work and danger and suffering for our own men and in bringing the war to an earlier close. PRISONER AT LARGE Stanley Sefton is still missing. Sefton a trusty escaped Tuesday morning from the county jail by slipping past the assistant jailor when the latter went to set the garbage can into the alley at six-thirty in the morning. The sheriffs scoured the county all day in a search for him but without results. A party of tourists informed one of the police officers that they saw a man who answered perfectly to Sefton's description, hiding by the side of the road just beyond the county hospital on the road to Anaheim. When he saw them he dodged into the weeds, and they saw him get up and creep on after they had passed. They believed he had escaped from the county hospital. By the time the sheriff's office had been notified and deputies sent out, Sefton had disappeared again. It is believed that he will be picked up soon however, as his description has been sent all over Southern California. Sefton's term in the local jail was up the next day but he was wanted in Los Angeles for stealing an automobile. Some purchaser bonds, who have reports of the treasury department or the treasury laws are placed diction of the deed and comprise office German merchant the United States, civilians. Their ordination would takeable in view of situation. These allens rejection from the government as is allowed them performed, and there are not exorbitant from their labor they receive more amount of money because of a reasonable care and comfort them and placed postal savings bank safe disposal made. The department cially states that ANAHEIM GAZETTE THE VALENCIA AS MEDITATOR It is decidedly not beyond the range of one's imagination to expect that the Valencia may settle the whole squabble about immature oranges. This year, partially in consequence of a lack of cars, but also because of a large Valencia crop, the last of the California Valencia shipments did not reach the Eastern markets until about Christmas time. The output of this popular summer orange has increased to such an extent that the Valencia now largely takes the old place of the too early shipments of navels or the Florida orange on the Thanksgiving market. And there are some 21,000 acres, four years old or younger, which will add their yield within a short time. When the autumn demand was greater than the available supply the shipper could for a time sell what he pleased whether it hurt California's reputation and destroyed the consumer's orange appetite or not. But when production increases to the point where the supply about equals the demand, the consumer holds the whip hand. It will be useless to expect the public to want sour, immature oranges from either California or Florida when ripe, Juicy California Valencias are available. Green navels, in consequence, may be automatically held back for want of a market, until they mature and their eating quality is satisfactory to the average consumer. Thus, through a process which amounts to a "survival of the fittest" the increase in production will itself work out the solution of the whole maturity question. The situation has a number of by-products which will also benefit every shipper. The Valencia has put the California orange business on a year 'round basis. At the outset this has developed a tremendous advantage in keeping the selling machinery engaged for twelve months in the year. allowed an excessive amount of food, but three meals a day of plain but thoroughly palatable, substantial food are given each. There is no waste in these detention camps and the same measures of economy and conservation are being practiced which are being urged upon every American household. TRACTOR SHORT COURSE A short course in the management of gasoline tractors will be held at the university experiment station, at Riverside during the week of February 11-16, 1918. Owing to the rapid increase in the use of tractors and war demands for drivers, qualified operators are hard to find, and high wages are offered. Experience has demonstrated that the life of a tractor depends in large measure on the management given it, and the loss due to inefficient operators is very heavy. For the past two years the university has conducted a successful course in tractor management at the university farm, at Davis. The demand now seems so great that a repetition of the course is offered at Riverside. Shop and lecture work will be offered on such fundamental questions as lubrication, care and adjustment of bearings and carburetors, grinding of valves, repairs and replacements. Several of the leading makes of tractors will be available for demonstration and practice work. A registration fee of $1.00 constitutes the only charge for the course. Any one may register. Applications should be sent to the Dean, Citrus Experiment Station, Riverside, Calif. HOW DO YOU PRONOUNCE? One of the difficult features of the world conflict lies in the fact that most of the important battles of which we read have occurred in WHAT DOTH IT PROFIT A MAN? Germany is working, by every scheme that ingenuity can devise and money can put into operation, to make American workingmen traitors to their country in its hour of need. What doth it profit a man if he sends his sons and brothers to the battlefields, and after he gets them there he betrays them to the enemy by stopping the industrial home work without which they can neither win or escape. The courses of nations—the lives of millions—are changed by very small events. Had the "Monitor" not been ready for the "Merrimac" exactly when she was, the Union fleet would have been rendered useless and the Civil war might have had a different ending. Had someone then succeeded in making serious trouble in a mine, a foundry, or a shop—had someone then succeeded in delaying transportation while the Monitor was under construction, what would have become of the whole Union fleet of wooden ships which was blockading the southern ports? Germany wants us to be unready or confused when a similar crisis comes. Our whole nation is preparing for the turning point in this war which is to determine whether every man shall have a chance to work out his destiny, or whether he and his country are to become subject to the dictation of a Prussian group. If we are not fully ready when the test comes it will be easier for German armies and German ships, German submarines and German aircraft, to kill the men that go out from your community to protect you and your rights. Whoever from any motive delays work bearing directly or indirectly on the war will be an accessory to the murder of his fellow Americans. Every strike in the United States. Thus, through a process which amounts to a "survival of the fittest" the increase in production will itself work out the solution of the whole maturity question. The situation has a number of by-products which will also benefit every shipper. The Valencia has put the California orange business on a year 'round basis. At the outset this has developed a tremendous advantage in keeping the selling machinery engaged for twelve months in the year. The same condition is passed on to the fruit trade. Jobbers and retailers are practically past the stage where they looked upon the orange business as a winter trade. They have found the Valencia the best keeper among summer fruits. It is recognized that a demand for Sunkist oranges which develops in the Navel season can be met with Sunkist in the Valencia season. The greater regularity of supply has lessened the incentive to speculate. Oranges have come to be "the staple of fruits" and the best dealers are never without them and never lose their interest in their sale. And how about the effect of this year 'round shipping on the public? It is generally recognized that even a short period of light supply and high prices curtails consumption for a considerable period. The Valencia bridges the gap between Southern navels and Northern navels and lessens this evil. It allows the consumer who gets the orange eating habit to keep it, and makes possible a continuous uninterrupted campaign of advertising to give people this habit. From the selling standpoint the whole orange business is much like a heavy freight train in that it requires less money and less energy to keep it moving than to stop and start and put it on a siding at regular intervals. The Valencia, in supplying the missing link for a year 'round business and causing the improvement in quality of the first shipments of navels, has been a boon to the citrus industry. Its whole tendency has been to standardize selling and stabilize demand. The Valencia will make it easier to sell more navels.

Whoever from any motive delays work bearing directly or indirectly on the war will be an accessory to the murder of his fellow Americans. Every strike in the United States, while this war is in progress, is a blow in favor of Germany. What doth it profit a man to increase his wages or decrease his working hours if by so doing he contributes to the victory of a nation that makes slaves of white men and scourges them as they work. The condition of the blacks in America before the Civil war was far better than the condition of the whites of Belgium who today are carried off like cattle, are overworked, underfed, beaten and, sick or well, must labor incessantly, often under fire of their own guns. What doth it profit a man to aid a monarch who in this manner has shamelessly reestablished the slavery of white men? The workingman-in America who obstructs the cutting of wood, the mining of fuel, the weaving of cloth, the turning of wheels in factories or on rails while this war is in progress—the is helping the slave masters, the destroyers of civilization, the murderers of women and children.

These intermed German civilians are not prisoners of war and are not under the jurisdiction of the war department or the treasury department, but by the provisions of our immigration laws are placed under the jurisdiction of the department of labor and comprise officers and crews of the German merchant vessels seized by the United States, and other German civilians. Their deportation, which ordinarily would take place, is impracticable in view of the international situation. These aliens receive no compensation from the government except such as is allowed them for work actually performed, and the wages paid them are not exorbitant at all. In fact, if from their labor and other sources they receive more than a moderate amount of money in a month, all in excess of a reasonable amount for their care and comfort is withheld from them and placed to their credit in the postal savings banks or some other safe disposal made of it. The department of labor also officially states that these aliens are not LONE, LORN WIDOW WANTS A HUSBAND Here's an Opportunity for Some Bachelor Worth Investigating Mayor Carhart of Fullerton recently received a letter from a lonely Los Angeles widow who is in search of a husband.

PHONE SUNSET 337 Let us hope that we will not always be at war, and when war has passed and peace has come, mayhap the conditions that just now distress us will to some extent be dissipated. Here is the situation: The railroads have suddenly been confronted with the necessity of enormously increasing the transportation of certain kinds of freight. Under multifarious control and in more than 100 systems, it was impossible for the railroads to do the work. Government control or direction was the alternative and to a considerable extent the railroads are now operating under that control, which has the advantage of a centralized oversight, complete information and absolute authority to issue orders. And because that situation develops in an emergency, people to whom government ownership has been a shibboleth at once rush forward and demand that the government, in addition to financing a war of unexampled cost, shall take over something like $18,000,000,000 worth of railroads and proceed to operate them. Whatever we may think of government ownership in general, we are convinced that just now is not the time to even consider the subject. Government control and direction to the end that the necessities may be moved and the non-essential freight shall be left for the more convenient season was an absolute requisite, and we have it, even to the extent that western roads are being ordered to lend locomotives to roads further east where the congestion is greatest. But to determine a great national policy for all time under the stress of war conditions would savor of having lost our national balance and sense of proportion. The government will run the railroads during the war, and we can decide about ownership when we have a clearer atmosphere and fewer things to jar on our nerves. The way in which increasing wages and rates chase each other around the circle furnishes a powerful argument for government ownership. The employees demand increased wages, and get them, whereupon the roads demand increased rates, and get them, with the public paying both.

But whether government ownership would put an end to that is at least worth pausing to think about. When organized railroad employees, by the threat of a nation wide strike in a time of emergency, can drive an Adamson law through congress and the supreme court, what more advantageous position would the government occupy as owner than as arbiter and lawgiver? SHIPPING REGULATIONS Effective December 1, shippers of oranges and lemons are required by food administration regulation to load refrigerator cars seven boxes wide and two high the entire inside length of the car, either under ventilation or refrigeration. Shippers of vegetables and deciduous fruits are requested to advise the limit of safety to which they may increase the carload above minimum, so proper regulations may also be issued at once. It is absolutely necessary that everything reasonably possible be done to increase the efficiency of car loading.
