VOLUME XXXXVII WILL START DRIVE FOR ADDITIONAL MEMBERS BOARD OF TRADE HOPES TO ADD SEVERAL HUNDRED NAMES TO ITS LIST COMMITTEE INVESTIGATING NEW SPECIE SHADE TREES FOR THE PARKINGS IN ANAMEIM Discussion of the state of its finances occupied most of the time at the session of the board of trade Monday, and it was unanimously agreed that something must be done forthwith to replenish the treasury, as it cannot exist without more funds. A committee composed of Herman Noll, Fred Backs and Victor Loly was appointed at the previous meeting to audit the books and prepare a financial statement for the benefit of the members. The committee gave a detailed report of the receipts and expenditures, and reported that the books had been kept in excellent condition, but the balance sheet showed only $130 surplus. CHURCH WILL BUILD FOR PRESENT NEEDS Anaheim Methodists Plan to Finish Fine Edifice After the War The building committee of the First Methodist church received bids this week for the construction of o $20,000 church of Italian Rennaissance type, plans for which have been prepared by Architect Norman F. Mairsh, of Los Angeles. Notes to the amount of $16,000 have already been signed by members of the congregation, in furtherance of the new building plan, and in the event that satisfactory bids are received in the present, call the contract will be let without delay. Rev. Harry White, pastor of the church, says that completion before midwinter is expected. The new edifice will be built upon three lots at the corner of Broadway and Philadelphia streets. The structure will be of white cement finish. Owing to the fact that war conditions make it impossible to secure building materials in large quantities, the church road plans to erect at this time only such portions of the building as are essential to meet present needs. This share of the work will include an auditorium capable of seating 500 people, class-rooms for the several Sunday school departments, Epworth league rooms, ladies' parlors, and a church kitchen and lining-room. SHRIEVAL IS PRINCIPAL CONTROL SHERIFF JACKSON FIELD, SAYS JOSEPH WITH LITTLE ORDER OUR OBSERVER ALWAYS NOTICE TO THE TAXPAYER (By Joshua) Nothing new doing county politics excludes shrievalty marathon dates are seemingly tra spurt since the month, with C. E. Ja bent, so far apparel lead and favorite age though there are some dict that the result will show a reversal place one of the other head of the processio and it was unanimously agreed that something must be done forthwith to replenish the treasury, as it cannot exist without more funds. A committee composed of Herman Noll, Fred Backs and Victor Loly was appointed at the previous meeting to audit the books and prepare a financial statement for the benefit of the members. The committee gave a detailed report of the receipts and expenditures, and reported that the books had been kept in excellent condition, but the balance sheet showel only $1.30 surplus in the treasury. Secretary Whitaker announced that about $25 had been paid in since the committee examined the books, but the secretary's salary for the month and other bills were outstanding. In his report Chairman Noll recommended that the membership dues be increased to $12 per year. A motion to this effect was made by F. K. Gresswell, but some of the members thought that a wiser plan would be to start a membership drive and increase the treasury balance by fees from new members. The standing membership committee consists of three members, and Mr. Ahlburn suggested that this be increased to 20. That 100 names of persons within the city and its adjacent territory be selected, each member of the committee being given a list of five, and instructed to do his best to get them on the roll. After this first list is exhausted another hundred will be selected, and in this manner it is hoped to largely increase the membership. The suggestion was adopted. Secretary Whitaker will supply the list of names and President McCord promised to appoint the committee of 20 and notify each appointee personally. The committee will meet at a fixed date, agree upon the time and parcel out the lists. The membership of the board of trade is only 140, and it is believed this can be increased to 500. Fullerton, with little more than half our population has an active board of trade composed of more than 300, and other towns are far in advance of Anaheim in this respect. Efforts to amalgamate the board of trade and the Mother Colony Club have come to naught. Some of the members of the club favor the plan, but no action can be taken until the annual meeting of the club members in October. Anaheim will probably adopt a new shade tree for the parkings in the near future. The state horticulturist recently wrote Secretary Whitaker recommending the acacia and the jocque wood suitable trees for parking. ORANGE COUNTY BOYS IN FRONT TRENCHES Lew Wallace, of Orange, Reported Wounded In Action That Orange county draft men are in the front line trenches "over there" is disclosed in a telegram received Monday by Mr. and Mrs. J. C. Wallace at Orange, informing them that their son, Lew Wallace, had been wounded in battle no August 1. The severity of the wound had not been determined. The telegram was dated Washington, August 10, and reads as follows: "Deeply regret to inform you that it is officially reported that Private Lew Wallace, infantry, was wounded in action August 1. Degree undetermined. Department has no further information." It was signed by Adjutant General McCain. Wallace left here with the first contingent of draft men sent to Camp Lewis by the local exemption board. Owing to the fact that war conditions make it impossible to secure building materials in large quantities, the church board plans to erect at this time only such portions of the building as are essential to meet present needs. This share of the work will include an auditorium capable of seating 500 people, class-rooms for the several Sunday school departments, Epworth league rooms, ladies' parlors, and a church kitchen and lining-room. The arrangement of a pipe organ which has been donated by Mrs. Chas. Eygabroad and Mrs. Will Wagner, Jr., will be a novel feature of the building. It will be built in at the front of the auditorium, and the section to which it will be affixed will serve as the front of the building. At some future time, when extension of the building plan is possible, the pipe organ section will be moved forward upon the lot, and the connecting section of construction will supply the front half of a greatly enlarged auditorium. Mr. White has been postor of the Anaheim Methodist church for two years. This will be the third new church building in Southern California for which he is responsible. While he served those congregations as pastor the Methodist church at Covina and the Methodist church at Pico Heights were erected. The Anaheim Methodist church building board is comprised of Charles Eygabroad, Will Wagner, Jr., W. S. Price, John Taggart, P. H. Krick, E. L. Hein and Pastor White.

No real offensive has been made against son, but there is concern in progress and this have its effect in strength, but if they as has been announced it's already all over as the opponents of the result of the elk their hands. And that she sheriff a wet and dry prop out saying and be upon the wine where right may expect she dry contingent, comment in this last mother's son sheriff's place is as to call attention to tion on the water standing the fact that ancient history reveals record of at least quaintance with John Barleycorn on the them. And in this connection marked that Sheriff some cases exposed wets accusing him dry by appointing Gunnett, a leader o while the drys fine plaint in the fact thou derstood that Iman stainer. This should figure however and only serve to even uall concerned a fair while Gunnett may fill the place to the head of the office e liever in strictest te accepted fact that hardworking and who is called upon duties that require qualities that are not of sissles or Sundt tendents. But certain radio don't see it that way of the drys it is ass In this respect, Efforts to amalgamate the board of trade and the Mother Colony Club have come to naught. Some of the members of the club favor the plan, but no action can be taken until the annual meeting of the club members in October. Anaheim will probably adopt a new shade tree for the parkings in the near future. The state horticulturist recently wrote Secretary Whitaker recommending the acacia and the jocquerunda as suitable trees for parking. The black acacia has been a popular tree in Anaheim for years, but as it grows larger it is found to develop roots that damage the sidewalks and curbing. Many beautiful trees were cut out by the street commissioner a few months ago because of this. A committee consisting of J. F. Ahlburn, C. R. Prince and A. Bayliss was instructed to look into the merits of these trees and recommend one. S. J. Padgham, of Santa Ana, came before the board with a proposition to compile a new directory for Anaheim. He wanted the board to take up the matter itself or to give him an endorsement. Mr. Padgham also has a proposition before the Fullerton board of trade, and he thinks it would be wise for the two cities to combine and compile a directory that will cover the entire northern portion of the county. An accurate city directory is badly needed here and Mr. Padgham's proposal was favorably received. He will probably get out a book that will contain the name and address of every person in the third supervisorial district. Art Dyckman came up from the naval station at San Pedro and spent some days with his parents, Mr. and Mrs. Fred Dyckman, last week. The telegram was dated Washington, August 10, and reads as follows: "Deeply regret to inform you that it is officially reported that Private Lew Wallace, infantry, was wounded in action August 1. Degree undetermined. Department has no further information." It was signed by Adjutant General McCain. Wallace left here with the first contingent of draft men sent to Camp Lewis by the local exemption board. Wallace had completed the third year of an engineering course at Ames when he was called to service. He is 25 years of age and is a brother of John (Jack) Wallace, of the Chandler & Wallace music store of Orange. He is the first man drafted from Orange county to be wounded in battle over there. He is the thirl man from Orange to be reported as killed or wounded in action. Geo. Leightfuss, the Orange county boy wounded some time ago in action, was a draft man from San Bernardino county, and went with a contingent leaving there in September last. C. Otto Rozell was killed in action a few days ago and now comes the wounding of Wallace, making the third man from Orange to be reported in the casualty list. Like the cat, Juan Garcia came back. It was over six months ago that he and Jesus Martinez had a set-to-near Anaheim sugar factory, in which affair Martinez was twice stabbed. Gracia thought six months ought to heal Martinez's resentment as well as his wounds, and he returned to Anaheim. Martinez's resentment was not healed, and that is why he swore to a warrant charging García with assault with a deadly weapon with intent to kill. But certain radio don't see it that way of the drys it is assaigned a confirmed worship of Bacchus, while for confidently affirming so dry that his joys walk. Sober-minded menu list does not exclude Paul's advice to talk the stomach's sake; evidence for and against can only be known after the votes are cast.

Seriously howev AHEIM GAZETTE Anaheim, California, Thursday, August 15, 1918 SHRIEVALTY RACE IS PRINCIPAL CONTEST SHERIFF JACKSON AGAINST THE FIELD, SAYS JOSHUA AYLOTT, WITH LITTLE ODDS OFFERED OUR OBSERVER ALSO GIVES PASSING NOTICE TO HEAD OF THE TAXPAYERS' LEAGUE (By Joshua Aylott.) Nothing new doing in the arena of county politics except that in the shrievalty marathon the several candidates are seemingly putting on an extra spurt since the beginning of the month, with C. E. Jackson, the incumbent, so far apparently well in the lead and favorite against the field, although there are some who freely predict that the result of the primaries will show a reversal of form that will place one of the other aspirants at the head of the procession. No real offensive in mass formation has been made against Sheriff Jack- more than ordinarily bright fellow, although affected with such a severe case of ingrowing selfesteem as to make it difficult for even his friends to stand by him in everything he advocates, but this community in particular and the whole county in general are so informed of his peculiar idiosyncrasies that he is simply classed as erratic and allowed to go at that. However, if Br'er Jackman should sooner or later decide to take a shot at the writer, I promise him in advance to render him every possible assistance by standing out in the open to serve as a target, provided always that Br'er Jackman agrees to use regulation ammunition and refrain from the employment of his usual weapon, the stinkpot. L. A. PAVING COMPANY GETS COUNTY CONTRACT Supervisor Finley Appointed to Draw Liberty Loan Map of County The Board of Supervisors at the last session awarded the contract for surfacing the Dyer road with Topeka top to the L.

G. Swales, Charles Gardner and Charles Prinslow were declared elected as di- LIQUOR DEALERS ASK BONE DRY ORDINANCE VOLUNTARILY AGREE TO QUIT BUSINESS IF GIVEN TIME TO ADJUST THEIR AFFAIRS SPECIAL ELECTION WOULD CREATE DISSENSIONS AT TIME WHEN WE SHOULD BE UNITED Unexpected moves relative to the future government of Anaheim have become so frequent of late that the people have ceased to be surprised at anything, but the serenity of the city trustees was somewhat jolted Thursday night when two petitions asking bone-dry legislation were presented. The first, demanding a special election on the proposition, signed by several hundred ultra drys, was expected, but the second, containing the signature of every liquor dealer in the city, asking for a bone-dry ordinance without resorting to an election, was a surprise. In their petition the liquor dealers shrievally marathon the several candidates are seemingly putting on an extra spurt since the beginning of the month, with C. E. Jackson, the incumbent, so far apparently well in the lead and favorite against the field, although there are some who freely predict that the result of the primaries will show a reversal of form that will place one of the other aspirants at the head of the procession. No real offensive in mass formation has been made against Sheriff Jackson, but there is considerable sniping in progress and this, no doubt, will have its effect in weakening his strength, but if the drys support him as has been announced that they will, it's already all over but the shouting, as the opponents of Demon Rum have the result of the election entirely in their hands. And that the sheriff fight is largely a wet and dry proposition goes without saying and he who openly looks upon the wine when it moveth itself aright may expect scant favors from the dry contingent, which impels the comment in this connection that every last mother's son aspiring for the sheriff's place is assiduously seeking to call attention to his exalted position on the water wagon, notwithstanding the fact that more or less ancient history reveals the remorseless record of at least a nodding acquaintance with John belly-to-the-bar Barleycorn on the part of some of them. And in this connection it may be remarked that Sheriff Jackson is in some cases exposed to a cross fire, the wets accusing him of playing to the drys by appointing on his staff J. M. Gunnett, a leader of the dry forces, while the drys find cause for complaint in the fact that Jack Iman holds the office of undersheriff, it being understood that Iman is not a total abstainer. This should cut very little figure however and at the worst should only serve to even up matters and give all concerned a fair representation, as while Gunnett may and probably does, fill the place to the satisfaction of the head of the office even if he is a believer in strictest temperance, it is an accepted fact that Jack Iman is a hardworking and competent officer who is called upon to perform certain duties that require the exercise of qualities that are not characteristics of sissies or Sunday school superintendents. But certain radicals on either side don't see it that way, and on the side of the drys it is asserted that Iman is Supervisor Finley Appointed to Draw Liberty Loan Map of County The Board of Supervisors at the last session awarded the contract for surfacing the Dyer road with Topeka top to the L. A. Paving Company, the price being $0.66 per square foot. The returns of the election for the formation of Newport Heights Irrigation District were canvassed, and said district declared organized. L. G. Swales, Charles Gardner and Charles Prinslow were declared elected as directors, and G. A. Waterman as treasurer and tax collector, and J. B. Cleghorn as assessor of said district. The county auditor was directed to draw warrant on the county general fund for $300 in favor of the Tri-Counties Reforestation Committee for Orange County's share of the preliminary report on the Santa Ana river for the purpose of flood control. Demands on the County of Orange were allowed as read. The county auditor was directed to draw warrants for payments of registration clerkks. Bids were opened for surfacing the Dyer road with Topeka top, the contract awarded to L. A. Paving Company for $0.56 per square foot, and the chairman was authorized to sign the contract and approve the bonds. The county auditor was ordered to cancel warrant No. 714 allowed J. W. Norton for $2.00, said warrant being a duplicate. The county surveyor was ordered to prepare plans and specifications for improvement of Edinger street road. The live stock inspector was instructed to file a monthly report. The chairman was authorized to sign an agreement with the Los Angeles Chamber of Commerce for space for the Orange County exhibit and use of Assembly Hall, for a term of one year from August 1, 1918, at $35.00 per month. Supervisor Finley was appointed as a committee of one to provide a map of Orange County for use of chairman of Orange County Liberty Loan committee. The hearing on the application of Tom Musselman for permit to operate an auto stage line between El Toro and Santa Ana was set for August 20, 1918, at 10 A.M. The resignation of Chas. E. Teach as member of the County Board of Education was accepted, to take effect at once. Supervisor Struck and the county surveyor were appointed as a committee to supervise the work of protection in the Santa Ana area. In their petition the liquor dealers agree to voluntarily wind up their affairs and quit business on the first of February. This will give them time to dispose of stock already on hand, and prevent heavy loss to them. Everyone of them has been a large purchaser of government bonds and is under heavy obligations to the banks that carry them. Furthermore, they state, the special election would cause a division among the people and an uncertainty among the business men and property owners at a time when Anaheim must be a unit in performing its duty to the government. With a special election, forthwith, mandatory upon the board of trustees, with a state wide proposition on the ballot November 5, and with the liquor men voluntarily agreeing to quit within a definite date, it appears that the people of Anaheim should begin to adjust their affairs to meet changed conditions. Taking a dispassionate and unemotional view of the matter every man, be he dry, conservative or wet, must acknowledge that the adoption of a dry ordinance will mean a radical change in conditions in Anaheim, and it is wise to recognize this fact and begin now to prepare for it. In the first place the seven saloons, three wholesale houses, the two wineries and the brewery employ more than one hundred men. These men with their families, represent probably four or five hundred of our population, and they will undoubtedly be compelled to go elsewhere to find employment. Thousands of dollars are distributed among our business houses each week by thousands of people who come here from every direction and from long distances. When this revenue is cut off it is predicted other business industries will be compelled to close up and the long list of unemployed will be added to and the number of vacant houses augmented. The five flourishing banks of the city will also feel the change as there is bound to be a heavy slump in derelict all the money coming into town fill the place to the satisfaction of the head of the office even if he is a believer in strictest temperance, it is an accepted fact that Jack Iman is a hardworking and competent officer who is called upon to perform certain duties that require the exercise of qualities that are not characteristics of sissies or Sunday school superintendents. But certain radicals on either side don't see it that way, and on the side of the drys it is asserted that Iman is a confirmed worshipper at the shrine of Bacchus, while for the wets it is as confidently affirmed that Gunnett is so dry that his joints creak as he walks. Sober-minded men, however, and the list does not exclude those who follow Paul's advice to take a little wine for the stomach's sake, will weigh all the evidence for and against, and the result can only be known for a certainty after the votes are counted. Our friend Jackman, he of the vitriolic tongue and pen, emits a shrill birdlike cry at the mention of some of his recent activities along political lines as told in the columns of the Gazette by the writer, incidentally threatening to wreak vengeance for his fancied wrong by doing or leaving undone certain things on the date of some future election. To all of which the writer hastens to give earnest assurance that in the event of his seeking political preferment at the hands of the voters of Orange county, he will as an absolutely essential preliminary take particular pains to incur the pleasure of Br'er Jackman, as a real hard knock from Jackman constitutes a boost of the very best kind as the record of Jackman's efforts at dictatorship in recent years very amply evidences. Seriously however, Jackman is a The hearing on the application of Tom Musselman for permit to operate an auto stage line between El Toro and Santa Ana was set for August 20, 1918, at 10 A.M. The resignation of Chas. E. Teach as member of the County Board of Education was accepted, to take effect at once. Supervisor Struck and the county surveyor were appointed as a committee to supervise the work of protecting the county road in the Santa Ana canyon. NITROGEN FROM THE AIR The largest experimental plant in the United States for the manufacture of fixed nitrogen from the air, with the exception of the ones now being constructed for the war department, is in operation at the United States Department of Agriculture experimental farm, Arlington, Va. At this plant the nitrogen from the air is combined with hydrogen to form ammonia which can be used in the manufacture of explosives and fertilizer. Experiments are now being conducted at this plant by the bureau of solids with a view to increase the efficiency of the process. The war department is co-operating in this work. What is known as the Haber process of nitrogen fixation is being used. This process involves the production of ammonia from hydrogen and nitrogen. The two gases are mixed in the proper proportions, put under high pressure, subjected to intense heat and passed over spongy iron, whereupon a portion of the mixture combines to form ammonia. Alex. Henry and D. J. O'Connor visited Los Angeles Sunday and saw the war display. The five flourishing banks of the city will also feel the change as there is bound to be a heavy slump in deposits, all the money coming into town finding its way into the bank vaults. The dry ordinance will prove beneficial in one instance, however. It will reduce rents, and the renter who is fortunate enough to retain his job will have no fear of being crowded out by a man who offers a higher rental. This question is already being taken into consideration as the lease of a storeroom in a newly-completed business block, recently signed, contained the proviso that the rental should be reduced $50 per month in the event of Anaheim adopting a dry ordinance. That lessee was forethoughted and the landlord recognized his wisdom. And there is yet another thing to be taken into consideration. The city collects somewhere in the neighborhood of eleven thousand dollars a year from liquor licenses. This will be lost as well as several thousand dollars more caused by the reduction in the number of customers of light, water and other incidents. This must be met by direct taxation on a property depreciated in value because of a lessened income, and also added to a tax rate already increased because a considerable portion of the taxable property of the city will have been eliminated. This article is not an argument in opposition to the dry propaganda.

A leader of the dry movement, a man who hopes to win a cross of war by leading his people to victory in a battle of the ballots, has informed us that Anaheim will vote itself dry within sixty days, therefore we merely point out some of the things that will follow that victory, trusting our forewarned readers will make preparations to meet the changed conditions. Following is the petition accompanying a copy of the proposed ordinance presented by the wets: "To the Honorable Board of Trustees of the City of Anaheim. Gentlemen: Whereas, there has been filed with the Clerk of the City of Anaheim a certain petition calling for a special "bone dry" election for the City of Anaheim, and, Whereas, another so-called "barrel house" petition has also been filed, and, Whereas, if such issues are finally brought to a decision by the voters of Anaheim it is bound to awake unmeasurable business bitterness, cause needless expenditure of the city's money and once more arraign neighbor against neighbor, and friend against friend, and, Whereas, all of this strife will be engendered and the loss of this money CLASSICAL MUSIC AT RED CROSS BENEFIT "WRECK OF THE HESPERUS" TO BE GIVEN BY LOCAL TALENT AT H.

BANKERS TO ORGANIZE As a result of a meeting of bankers from all over the Twelfth Federal Reserve Bank District, comprising eight states and Hawaii, a county organization is to be made in each county for school auditorium tonight. Anaheim's best musical talent has been training for many days under the direction of Prof. Thomas Askin, and a quarrette of soloists from Los Angeles will also have a part in it. Furthermore all the participants are giving their services free, the receipts at the door going to the Red Cross. The concert which is to be given for the benefit of the local chapter of the Red Cross organization will be a most artistic and interesting affair. The fact that the feature of the program is a cantata given by local singers will be enough to interest the music loving public, but the additional fact that a quartette of soloists will present a well known song cycle will have added interest. For the past six weeks a group of local singers have been rehearsing under the direction of Thomas Askin, a very fine cantata entitled "The Wreck of the Hesperus." This most dramatic piece has been worked up to a high degree of excellence by the singers and all who hear it are sure to enjoy the piece thoroughly. The quartette of soloists are Mesdames Grace Viersen, soloratura soprano, and Glemma Budlong, contralto; Mr. Lionel Viersen, tenor, all of Los Angeles, and Thomas Askin, who makes his home in Anaheim. The selection these singers are to sing is the "Persian Garden," a beautiful song cycle, which contains quartette numbers, duets and solos. This selection is reckoned to be one of the best written numbers now before the public. All the singers are giving their services gratis. All the moneys taken in will go directly to the Red Cross. The time is Thursday night at 8:15. The place is the high school auditorium. The price is 50 cents for adults and 25 cents for children. Do your share in this patriotic endeavor. MORE MEN FOR CAMP Twenty-one men are to be entrained by the local emption board for Camp Lewis during the five-day period beginning Monday, the 26th day of August. The 21 will be selected from the following list of 26 registrants: Jesse H. Garrett, La Habra; Joshua E. Seale, Fullerton; Charles H. Snavey, Jr., Long Beach; John P. Varner, Fullerton; Ralph H. Cox, Anaheim; Harry C. Calkins, Anaheim; Fred F. Frampton, Fullerton; Ross A. Warner, BANKERS TO ORGANIZE As a result of a meeting of bankers from all over the Twelfth Federal Reserve Bank District, comprising eight states and Hawaii, a county organization is to be made in each county for the purpose of encouraging banks to meet the requests of the reserve bank that they buy U.S. war loan certificates. That meeting was attended by A. J. Crookshank, president of the First National, and J. A. Turner, cashier of the Farmers & Merchants. Reports made at the meeting, which was held Friday, showed that half the banks in the state have failed to comply with the request of the federal reserve. It was indicated at the meeting that the government is working toward commanding banks' deposits. No such decision was announced, but was intimated as possible. It was stated that a good many of the banks that had not bought certificates seemed not to realize the importance of meeting the request. The bankers present concluded that some steps should be taken to bring organized effort in each county to have that county meet its purchases. A general committee for the district was appointed, and that committee within a few days will announce a county chairman for each committee. That chairman may not necessarily be a banker. C. S. Troutman and wife took in the G. A. R. encampment at Huntington Beach Sunday. Twenty-one men are to be entrained by the local emption board for Camp Lewis during the five-day period beginning Monday, the 26th day of August.

Schmidt, Anaheim; Hugh G. Richardson, Fullerton; George H. Dyer, Fullerton; Clarence B. Launders, Brea; Herbert B. Culley, Los Angeles; Henry C. Minnix, Perris; Gerald S. Hudson, Brea; Daniel C. Kindle, Falbrook. These last two names are those of 1918 registrants. The first man on the list is a volunteer who signed up for enlistment on August 6. Mart V. Hayes signed up to go to college at Logan, Utah, but was not accepted. Guy Ford of Orange and John C. Lumsden of Whittier have been chosen by the local exemption board to go to college at Logan, Utah, for mechanical instruction for military service. George G. Key of Placentia, who went into the merchant marine a few weeks ago, has been promoted already and is now an instructor of firemen. His headquarters is in San Francisco but he spends most of his time at sea.
