GERMAN CANNON WANTED FOR OUR PARK CAPT. HENRY ASKS FOR ONE, AND CONGRESSMAN KETTNER PROMISES TO SPEAK FOR US ADVOCATES OF LIBERTY PARK SEE VICTORY AHEAD AND GUN WOULD BE AN ATTRACTION Captain Alexander Henry is so confident that our Liberty Park, now only in the prospective, will be an assured fact in the not distant future, that he has opened negotiations with Congressman Kettner for a captured Hun cannon to be used as a center piece in the park. The captain wrote to Mr. Kettner some days ago asking him to use his influence to secure a piece of ordnance for us, and in reply received the following: "Washington, Dec. 16. "Dear Brother Henry: "I hope you will remember and explain to others that I have been away from my office practically six years." rested. Investigation then unearthed the fact that Potts had indulged in wholesale forgery before leaving this city. He was arrested at New Orleans and brought to the county jail at Santa Ana. He has declared his intention of pleading guilty. It is said Potts belongs to a wealthy family in Pennsylvania. TED DICKEL HERE ON WAY TO HONDURAS Will Be Absent Two Years, Instructing Natives In Use of Mining Machinery Ted Dickel is spending the holidays with his parents, Mr. and Mrs. Hermay Dickel, having arrived from El Paso some days ago, and is awaiting arrival of passports from Washington, which will be here probably the coming week. He left Goldfield, Nev., two weeks ago for El Paso, but experienced difficulty in obtaining passports, because of slackers slipping across the border into Mexico. He was required to obtain a certificate of his birth as well as of his father's naturalization papers, together with the latter's port of deportation and the port of his arrival here. These be obtained as far as possible, and the documents were forwarded to the war department at Washington for approval. He expects to go to New Orleans, where he will take a steamer for Honduras. He can make the trip from Anaheim to Honduras in eight days. He goes as repre- has opened negotiations with Congressman Kettner for a captured Hun cannon to be used as a center piece in the park. The captain wrote to Mr. Kettner some days ago asking him to use his influence to secure a piece of ordnance for us, and in reply received the following: "Washington, Dec. 16. Dear Brother Henry: "I hope you will remember and explain to others that I have been away from my office practically six years. While I was at home, our firm dissolved partnership, which necessitated my opening up new offices and making arrangements for Mrs. Kettner to take care of the business. "I visited Riverside because of March Field, and I wanted to see my friends in Orange county but the opportunity was not given to me, as they wired me to come back immediately. I was keenly disappointed for I value my old friends there more than I can say. I am going to ask you to please explain to them the difficulties I met with while at home, and assure them I will avail myself of the first opportunity of visiting them when I return in March. "I have taken this matter up with the department regarding the cannon for your park. Nearly every city has written to me, and I learn that cities all over the United States have made the same request. I will do my best, however, to get one for Anaheim. "I wish you a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year, filled with prosperity and contentment. With feelings of high esteem and friendship I am, "Sincerely yours, "WILLIAM KETTNER." It is reported from Washington that all guns captured by the American troops will be brought to America, and no doubt they will be distributed among the congressional districts. Mr. Kettner will no doubt see to it that the Eleventh California district gets its share, and no city in the district can file a more valid claim to one than Anaheim. We trust Mr. Kettner will be able to get one for us. Anaheim is not asking for a "Big Bertha" or a 42-centimeter whitizer. We will be content with one of the small field pieces which Germany spent nearly half a century in perfecting and which created such havoc among the helpless and defenseless people until France, England and America built better guns and drove the invaders back to their own land. He found El Paso filled with American troops, and this is also true of other points along the border. Conditions in Mexico are in more of a turmoil than ever, and reports are current of another insurrection brewing. He cites the case of the manager of an American mining company at Guadalajara, who was kidnaped by Mexican bandits and held for a ransom of $10,000. This amount of money was raised, but the bandits raised the ante to $25,000, and this was being raised when he left El Paso. "I see many changes in Anaheim since my last visit here two years ago," he said. "I had to wait a couple of weeks at El Paso before my passports arrived, and thought I might as well come over here to spend the holidays with the folks. I went to the house and found it locked up, the folks being out riding with Mr. and Mrs. Joe Carroll. I later returned and think I gave them a genuine surprise. The Hurdurs have had difficulty in operating our pumps and mining machinery, and I am going to give them instructions. I shall remain in Honduras probably two years, for I would not go there on a contract for less time, and I may remain there indefinitely. The Goldfield Consolidated Mining Companies are about shutting down. They let out 400 men some weeks ago, and I believe others will follow. If I find conditions in Honduras to my liking I will send for my wife and two little boys and will take up my permanent residence there." Mr. and Mrs. Arnold Dickel arrived from the north on Sunday, and will remain visiting their relatives here for a month. Arnold is located at Goldfield, Nev., but for some months past has been at Camp Lewis. He has been given an honorable discharge, and after enjoying a visit here with his family and friends will return to Goldfield. He was required to obtain a certificate of his birth as well as of his father's naturalization papers, together with the latter's port of deportation and the port of his arrival here. These be obtained as far as possible, and the documents were forwarded to the war department at Washington for approval. He expects to go to New Orleans, where he will take a steamer for Honduras. He can make the trip from Anaheim to Honduras in eight days. He goes as representative of two large American companies manufacturing mining machinery, and will be absent in Honduras for two years and probably for a longer period.

Potts, formerly reporter on the Herald, was arraigned before Judge Howard Saturday, charged with forgery, and was bound over to superior court in the sum of $1000. Potts made no effort to defend himself, and appeared unconcerned in the proceedings of the court, devoting his attention to a newspaper while court was in session. Only two witnesses were called by the prosecution. E. J. Horsley, manager of the Herald, declared that his signature on a check presented to the Fisher Wine Company by Potts was a forgery, and H. H. Benjamin, cashier of the First National bank, testified that the bank had cashed the check and charged it to the Herald account. On Saturday evening, November 9, Potts passed ten similar checks in the business houses of Anaheim, then left for parts unknown. The checks were all accepted and nearly a month later a telegram came from New Orleans asking if a hundred dollar check drawn by the Herald Publishing Company was genuine. The Herald wired that the check was bogus and requested that the man presenting it be ar- CITY BOWLING LEAGUE A bowling league of four teams, each composed of three expert bowlers, has been organized in this city, and will contest nine weeks for the championship. Substantial prizes will be given. The first game will be played tonight. Following is the line up of the four teams: St. Elmo—Ensley, Moore and Gordon. Oyster Loaf Cafe—Johnson, Sheridan and Karam. National Market—Schaeffer, Rasmussen and Schulz. Anaheim Laundry—Efker, Theodore and Halladay. Roy and Ray Hale, sons of H. H. Hale, of Placentia, were both home for a Christmas vacation. Roy has been honorably discharged from the navy and will return to his studies at the State University. Roy has gone back to San Francisco to resume his training in the merchant marine. Mr. and Mrs. Arnold Dickel arrived from the north on Sunday, and will remain visiting their relatives here for a month. Arnold is located at Goldfield, Nev., but for some months past has been at Camp Lewis. He has been given an honorable discharge, and after enjoying a visit here with his family and friends will return to Goldfield. This is the first time in eight years that Mr. and Mrs. Dickel have had their family all together and a very happy season has been enjoyed by all.

Mayor Dwyer could not be located, but all the other trustees answered roll call. In the absence of the mayor, Trustee Stark was honored by being called upon to preside, which he did with neatness and dispatch. City Clerk Merritt read the minutes. Attorney Ames was present. Engineer Stewart and Marshal Wood were interested spectators and Supt. be the best plan. Trustee McFadden, of the police committee, an expert on gas carriages, will look into the matter and report. Supt. Hannum put in a bid for raise of salary for Lineman Campbell, from $100 to $110 per month, but was side-tracked. Trustee McFadden said this salary raising must stop, and he advocated "firing" a man occasionally as an antidote. Trustee Gibbs said he had been approached by the employee for a raise but the councilman would have none of it, and suggested that he look for another job. It was ordered that Schultz, the extra man, be employed by the month on a salary of $80. Trustees McFadden and Backs gave verbal report on the committee meeting held at Santa Ana relative to the outfall sewer but as much of the deliberations of the meeting, which was attended by representatives from Santa Ana, Orange, Fullerton and this city, were not in shape to be let loose upon the public, the partial report was received and accepted. The committees are to continue their meetings from time to time with the view of arriving at a satisfactory conclusion of the project. The councilmen reported progress and all feel confident that the attempt of some beachites to throw a monkey wrench into the machinery will be of no avail.

Many growers who forsook beet growing during the past two years because of attractive prices in other lines of agricultural endeavor are returning to the fold. Now that it is practically assured that the price of sugar will not fall within the next year the growers feel that they will be planting with the assurance of good returns.

The asbestos roofing as originally applied is faulty and as a consequence the roof leaks. Before the asbestos was placed a covering of paper should have been laid underneath but this was not done. Outside men having a new liquid cement with asbestos fiber endeavored to secure the job of repairing the roof, but the board will no doubt let the contract to local people to readjust the roofing and put it in proper shape, as it should have been in the first place. The representative of the liquid cement spoken of said he would like to apply his paint upon the power house roof as it would readily be seen by passers-by on the state highway and would be a good advertisement, and besides the cost would not be very high.

CAMPING GROUNDS FOR AUTOS Several California towns have provided motor camping grounds that are the last word in efficiency. In some cases free gas and electricity have been provided in addition to plumbing and other conveniences. One enterprising little city has gone so far as to install shower baths. Local motorists are rejoicing that Los Angeles with more paved roads and motoring facilities than any other city in the world is about to remedy the glaring defect that has given her a reputation for inhospitality with parties that have driven clear across the continent to enjoy her beauties. The following California cities have provided camping grounds for motor touring parties: Stockton, Pomona, San Diego, Sacramento, Santa Monica, Perris, Nevada City, Red Bluff, Petaluma, Downieville, Ukiah, King City, La Jolla, Redlands, Oroville, Tulare, Fresno, Atascadero, Santa Maria, Salinas, San Bernardino, Mendocino, Eureka, Newberry and Placerville. The matter of public camping grounds is under consideration at the Ana, Orange, Palmetto and San city, were not in shape to be let loose upon the public, the partial report was received and accepted.

Yes, the committeemen say everything is right and that grade stakes may be driven before the real winter rains set in. The men who follow the plow in the beet fields say that this is the first year the growers have been offered a "fair" price for sugar beets, and they do not look for a reduction in the price of sugar beets for some years to come. They insist that the price per ton has been too low, considering the cost of land, water, cultivation and seed, in proportion to other crops. The growers assert that the Food Administration has interceded for them with the result that the refiners have compiled and offered the favorable contract. For the first time in the history of the industry the price is stabilized, and the profits of the refiners are more or less of a fixed quantity. The price paid for beets depends upon not only the sugar content, but on the net price received by the refiners for the sugar, the latter being the new factor in the situation. The present "seaport" price of sugar is 9 cents per pound. The average 1917 sugar content of beets grown in Southern California, according to the 1918 report of the Bureau of Crop Estimates, United States Department of Agriculture, was 18.5 per cent. On the basis of this for an estimate the average price to be received per ton, at the present price of sugar, would be $14.40. The average yield per acre of sugar beets last year again quotedthe Federal statistics was 10.7 tons. Thereforethe average acre return always providingthe present price of sugar is maintained, would be $154. Sugar companies report a large number of growers signing the contract and calling for seed, and the crop-growing machine for 1919 is well in motion.

Ordinance No. 343, granting permit to the Olinda Bus Co. to operate its stages upon city streets, was called up for first reading. The removal of a building by the Ganahl Lumber Co. having been done without injury to city property, the $50 indemnity check was ordered returned to them. The city clerk was given authority to purchase two city directories, containing names of people in northern Orange county, at a cost of $4 each. The matter of providing a car for the night guard was referred to the police committee. Marshal Wood reported that he has adopted a new method of reducing crime, by having a guard patrol all down-town streets and alleys in a machine, meanwhile using a flash light as he passes dark places. The plan works satisfactorily, and, as the chief of police says, an ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure. Night Guard Baxter has been using his flivver for the purpose, and while the city furnishes him the gas and oil, he thought an additional $30 per month for wear and tear would be about right. Argument against the city buying a machine was offered, because the question was asked, who would be responsible for its upkeep and safety. Everybody's business is nobody's business, it was said, and a machine soon gets out of order, necessitating garage attention, which soon runs into money. It was believed a rented car, at a reasonable rate, would enjoy her beauties. The following California cities have provided camping grounds for motor touring parties: Stockton, Pomona, San Diego, Sacramento, Santa Monica, Perris, Nevada City, Red Bluff, Petaluma, Downieville, Ukiah, King City, La Jolla, Redlands, Oroville, Tulare, Fresno, Atascadero, Santa Maria, Salinas, San Bernardino, Mendocino, Eureka, Newberry and Placerville. The matter of public camping grounds is under consideration at the following places, several on this list having already selected sites which will be equipped in the near future: San Luis Obispo, Taft, Oakland, Lindsay, Santa Barbara, Anaheim, Santa Ana, Long Beach, Santa Rosa, Chico, Bakersfield, Healdsburg and Ventura. HARTUNG BUYS RANCH Edgar J Hartung, who recently resigned his position as cashier of the First National Bank for the purpose of engaging in the pursuit of war, but who was discharged from the army a couple of weeks ago because the war ended, has decided to become a rancher and grow oranges hereafter. He has just completed negotiations for the William Trapp ranch on the Eastside. This is one of the most important real estate deals ever made in this region. The ranch consists of twenty acres of ten-year-old Valencias, and is watered by its own pumping plant. The price Mr. Hartung paid for the ranch was $68,000, or $3400 per acre. This looks like a steep price, but there is a fifteen thousand dollar crop now hanging on the trees which goes to the purchaser. Last year the crop sold for $18,000. The new contract, which covers twelve months following July 1, 1919, specifies that growers must purchase their seed from the company at 30 cents per pound. Officials of the Anaheim Beet Sugar Company state that all companies have a sufficient supply of seed on hand. Most of this came from Europe, but some of it was grown in Western States, California, Idaho and Utah together producing 2,458,000 pounds of seed last year. To plant the 1917 California crop 16,320,000 pounds of seed was required. Before the world war halted agricultural production in Europe America was entirely dependent upon Germany Belgium and Russia for sugar-beet seed. Henceforth, it is believed, the United States will produce more and more of its own seed. The cost of seed growing depends largely on the outlay for experimental work conducted by the chemist who samples the beets; tests the sugar content of the samples and replants the beets containing the highest sugar content for seed. The area in sugar beets in 1917 in the Golden State was 154,000 acres, as compared with 141,097 in 1916 and 122,737 in 1915. It is estimated that but 139,000 acres were grown in 1918. There are fourteen sugar factories in the State. One, that of the American Sugar Company at Chino, has not op- PLEASE EET erated for the past two years, but will reopen for the coming season, as between 10,000 and 12,000 acres in that district are being prepared for beets. The largest beet acreage in Southern California is around Oxnard, where 18,000 acres are being seeded. CROP FROM 100 TREES PURCHASES FINE AUTO Growing Oranges Is as Profitable as Making War Materials George A. Mills, one of the successful citrus growers of the Orangethorpe district, dropped into this office Saturday. He was looking for a revenue blank on which to figure up the results of his labor during the past year and ascertain if he owed the government anything under the income tax law. Mr. Mills owns a ten-acre grove of Valencias on the boulevard north of town, and like all other growers who handle their trees intelligently and expertly, the past year has been a prosperous one for him, as his trees yielded abundantly and the prices were high. He does not state how many boxes were gathered from his trees but he marketed through the association and received an average of a little better than $7 per box for the fruit. Early in the season one hundred of his trees were segregated, the returns from them being pledged for the purchase of an automobile for his wife. When the returns from the fruit came back it was found that these hundred PUSHING PLANS FOR OUTFALL SEWER EFFORTS OF BEACHITESTOBLOCK THE PROJECT NOT WORRYING THE JOINT COMMITTEE MEETING ARRANGED BETWEEN REPRESENTATIVES OF BOTH SIDES TO DISCUSS MATTER Representatives of the city governments of Anaheim, Fullerton, Orange and Santa Ana again met in the latter city Friday evening for the purpose of discussing the proposed outfall sewer to the ocean.

He does not state how many boxes were gathered from his trees but he marketed through the association and received an average of a little better than $7 per box for the fruit. Early in the season one hundred of his trees were segregated, the returns from them being pledged for the purchase of an automobile for his wife. When the returns from the fruit came back it was found that these hundred trees had yielded enough to purchase a handsome car and leave a goodly surplus. Mr. Mills' experience is merely that of all other growers in this section who handled their trees expertly and got the best possible results out of them. Speaking of the danger from frost in certain sections of the citrus belt Mr. Mills states that he has grown oranges on his place for twenty years and has never suffered any damage from cold weather. Mr. Mills is one of the directors of the Anaheim Citrus Fruit Growers' Association. Last year the association shipped in the neighborhood of 700 cars which was its fall capacity. This year the crop will be much larger, necessitating more room which was the chief reason for the organization of a separate company among the stockholders under the name of the Anaheim Orange and Lemon Association. The two companies may ship as high as 1200 cars this season owing to a heavy crop and a larger acreage. The prices received also will be extremely high. Navels have already sold in New York as high as $7. Last year the highest price paid for Valencias was $19.25. This, of course, was a car of Orange county fruit. THE PARK-TO-PARK HIGHWAY War may have slowed but it has far from stopped the activities of the various highway associations in preparation for peace, and the alluring project of the park-to-park highway, meaning the adaption or building of a series of roads to connect the national parks of the country, has been furthered in several sections during the year past. The work on the Glacier-Yellowstone Bee Line Highway advanced a great deal, various cities along the route having helped materially with road repairs. This highway connects the east entrance to Glacier National Park with the north entrance to Yellowstone. "In order that the tremendous value of this interpark highway from the discussing the proposed outfall sewer to the ocean.

Anaheim—Trustees Ralph McFadden and F. A. Backs. Threats of the South Coast Improvement Association to block the proposal of the inland cities to carry its sewage to the ocean, by incorporating a shootstring along the ocean front, are not worrying the trustees of the various cities. It is understood, or at least believed, that the coast towns are merely attempting to force the inland towns to consent to the building of a coast boulevard at the expense of the country. A meeting is being arranged at which representatives of the association and trustees of the four cities at which the matter will be discussed. "I don't believe a protest from the association would have any weight with the State Board of Health, particularly in view of the fact that there are no residences within a mile or two of the point where the line enters the ocean," said W. R. Garrett, city attorney of Orange. "The State Board of Health has tremendous power, and proper sanitation for four of the principal cities of the county, with the system serving a population of 25,000 br 30,000, would carry great weight with it." The sewage will be treated before passing to the ocean and there can be no real objection to it being dumped into the ocean at the point proposed. It developed at the meeting of the South Coast Improvement Association last week, when the plan for incorporating a 15-foot strip to block the cities in an outlet was presented, that a number of those who spoke in opposition to the sewer did not know that the sewage from Santa Ana had been going into the ocean for the past six years. It was evident that there had been nothing objectionable about the sewage with reference to contamination of the waters in the immediate vicinity of the outfall. There is always a sentimental objection to the discharging of sewage at any point where there is "live" water, but thousands of cities in the United States are dumping sewage into such waters, and there is no odor nor real objec- would be per acre of land quoted the 10.7 tons. its return, albeit price of $154. a large num- contract and crop-growing motion.

The work on the Glacier-Yellowstone Bee Line Highway advanced a great deal, various cities along the route having helped materially with road repairs. This highway connects the east entrance to Glacier National Park with the north entrance to Yellowstone. "In order that the tremendous value of this interpark highway from the standpoint of publicity may not be impaired," the forthcoming report of the Director of National Parks will say, "it should not be encumbered with a multitude of side trips and detours to regions not comparable with the scenery and recreational facilities of the parks and monuments. Only well-improved highways of recognized scenic or historic importance directly tributary to the park-to-park road, such, for instance, as the Columbia River Highway, the Denver Mountain Road System, the Pikes Peak Highway, and the Tahoe-Yosemite Loop, should be included in such side trips. "It is not unlikely that in the development of this automobile road between the parks the Federal Government will have to assist in constructing certain links of the chain." Such assistance, for example, is proposed in Senator King's bill to survey a road to connect the Mesa Verde National Park with the Grand Canyon by way of several national mountments of distinguished interest. O. W. Clark has disposed of his six-acre orange orchard on the Olive road, J. S. Ward of the sanitarium being the purchaser. The place is in 8-year-old Valenclas. Eluding Burns detectives and officers, who have been notified to watch for him, a bad-check manipulator who has been working the smaller towns of Southern California, passed a $12 check Friday on a store at Olive. The man is between 30 and 35 years old, 5 feet, 10 inches tall, and weighs 170 pounds. He generally wears a soft felt hat and dark clothes, officers say, and although using a variety of names on his paper, a favorite name is Mitchell. The Standard-Murphy ball team went down to defeat Sunday afternoon before the mighty Pasadenas. This was the fifth game of the series of five games and Pasadena took it by a score of 8 to 7. At the beginning of the ninth inning the score was a tie and in that inning the oil lads failed to score while the Crown City bunch just managed to scratch in, winning three out of five games. This ends are series and it is not unlikely that a new series will be framed up. Social dance at Odd Fellows' hall Saturday night.
