Store SHIP LEAVES NEWPORT At 4:30 Monday morning the 70-foot lounge "Par," outfitted for a six-weeks' cruise and supplied with enough distillate for a 1600-mile trip, pulled out of Newport harbor bound for the Gulf of California. Supplies were taken on to the boat Sunday and Monday night as she lay at Wilson Bros.' wharf at Balboa, it having arrived from San Pedro Saturday afternoon. Apparently there is some mystery attached to the trip, members of the party being reluctant to give many details, although announcement was made that Rex Beach is going to get material for a new story and that others are taking the trip as a vacation. Rex Beach was delayed and did not leave on the boat. He will proceed south by rail and join the party at some port down the coast within a few days, it is said. Others in the party are Lieut. E. Salisbury, ex-naval officer, who will act as navigating officer and pilot; his brother, Willard Salisbury, engineer, both of Los Angeles; McDowell of Los Angeles, Donald Crisp of the Lasky studios, and P. H. L. Wilson of Balboa. Captain George Cornell is in charge of the boat. The seventh member of the party is a Jamaica negro. The "Par" draws eight and a half feet of water, and made her entrance and exit from Newport harbor without difficulty with the tide half out. This is the greatest draft boat to enter Newport harbor and the first to be outfitted there to sail for a foreign port. W. W. Perkins, an aged Santa Anan, was knocked down, presumably kicked, and seriously injured by a soldier book peddler Monday evening. Two men wearing the uniform were working Santa Ana that day selling books and other articles. One called at Perkins' residence and asked him to buy a cookbook. EDITOR DISAPPEARED—SUPPOSED TO BE INSANE Search Being Made For George E. Hart of the Orange News Since Monday of last week, George E. Hart of the Orange News, has been absent from his home and his business at Orange under circumstances that have convinced his relatives that he left home urging a period of mental weakness. Efforts to locate him have so far failed. The facts relating to his disappearance are as follows: Hart had just recently recovered from a severe attack of influenza and had returned to work at the Orange News office. For eighteen months he was editor of the News during the absence of his brother, Captain Wm. O. Hart, at Camp Lewis. He has a wife and baby in Orange. Sunday, a week ago especially, and for a week previous to that, he complained frequently of a severe headache and of a queer confused feeling in his head. Monday morning he took the 8:25 car from Santa Ana to Los Angeles. At Orange two notes were left, one to the News and the other to his wife. In these notes he stated that he had been called to San Bernardino on business and that he probably would not be back that night. He failed to return. A quiet investigation started late in the week by his father-in-law, W. A. Dyer, brought word to the effect that he had not been seen in San Bernardino. Credence to the theory that Hart left during a period of mental aberration is substantiated by the fact that he had had no trouble with his family and none in a business way. His accounts at the office showed he owed nothing there and had none of the firm's money. So far as being suspected of having taken any of the telephone calls popular actions of in increasing rates changes, and the master-General Bus discussed at the boarding Monday night. Sentiment in favor operative company the use of the Pacific Members who have tive system in open proven very satisfies That Newport strong for development was shown Tuesday $65,000 more bonds pleting dredging on Newport past Balboa trance, which will ter at low tide. Light draft boats to all times. This m 000 the city of Ne W. W. Perkins, an aged Santa Anan, was knocked down, presumably kicked, and seriously injured by a soldier book peddler Monday evening. Two men wearing the uniform were working Santa Ana that day selling books and other articles. One called at Perkins' residence and asked him to buy a cook book. He told the peddler he was not in need of a cook-book, whereupon the man knocked him down. Mr. Perkins was unconscious for two hours. Donald R. Macdonald, a farmer of Garden Grove, born in Alexander, Ontario, Canada, in 1873, and a resident of this county since 1896, has asked for final papers. His witnesses are W. R. and Elizabeth Harris. First papers of naturalization have been taken out by John H. Foreman, 42, of Anaheim. He is a sugar factory foreman. Foreman was born in Nieanburg, Germany, and came to this country in 1890. Mr. and Mrs. J. D. Heitsheusen celebrated their silver wedding anniversary Saturday evening, fifty guests from this city and other points being present. Many beautiful presents were received. Mr. and Mrs. Heitsheusen were married in Iowa a quarter of a century ago and have lived in Anaheim for fourteen years. Their numerous friends extend congratulations and express a wish that they may live to celebrate their golden wedding 25 years hence. Mr. and Mrs. C. W. Murphy, Mr. and Mrs. L. B. Vance, Mrs. Belle Sampson and Mrs. C. Mauerhan, all of Fullerton, were guests of Mrs. Ella D. Williams Sunday. Credence to the theory that Hart left during a period of mental aberration is substantiated by the fact that he had had no trouble with his family and none in a business way. His accounts at the office showed he owed nothing there and had none of the firm's money. So far as being suspected of having taken any of the firm's money was concerned, that was impossible. Hart was always known as a man who was essentially honest. His current bills about town were paid as usual. Informed of the situation, Captain Hart at Camp Lewis took steps that hastened his discharge, and wized that he is now on his way home. In the meantime every effort, through publicity and otherwise, is being made to locate the missing man. George Hart was a man concerning whose moral and business life there was not the slightest criticism. His relatives and his friends will not cease in their efforts to locate him until they succeed in unravelling the mystery of his disappearance. PRESBYTERIAN CHURCH Rev. C. B. Hatch, Minister.

The ranch consists of twelve and one-half acres of bearing Valencias. The Yeomen gave an enjoyable dance at their hall Monday night, a large crowd being present. Young and old alike danced until the ghastly hour of midnight. The Board of Supervisors is to receive bids on March 18 for the paving of one and six-tenths miles of road that will give Orange county people a shortcut paved road to Long Beach. The paving that is to be done is on Garden Grove road, which is the extension of Anaheim road to Long Beach. It lies between the Los Angeles county line and Los Alamitos paved road. This is the old-time road to Long Beach, which, however, of late years has not been used as much as the paved route through Seal Beach. When it is paved it will reduce the distance from Santa Ana to Long Beach by a mile and a half and will give a route that is not menaced by numerous curves. County Surveyor McBride has prepared plans and specifications for the paving, and bids for the work are to be opened on March 18. James Mauerhan has received his discharge from the army and has returned to his home in this city on East street. "Jimmy" got as far as the camps in New York and Virginia, but the war ended before he was called overseas, but he was ready to do his bit, and hirs many friends know he would have given a good account of himself in swatting the Hun. A delegation of firemen from this city went over to Orange Thursday evening to spend a social time with the firemen of that city. Sheriff Jackson was in town Sunday afternoon, coming over to investigate the charge placed against a Mexican who had been arrested by the local police and who had a quantity of men's clothing in his possession, for which ownership he could not give satisfactory account. Two or three other Mexicans were under suspicion as being members of a gang of thieves and their arrests were scheduled to take place later in the day. Sheriff Jackson believes they belong to an organized band of robbers and is determined to run them down. The Anaheim Elks held their annual banquet at Seal Beach last Tuesday night. Elks and their ladies to the number of 150 enjoyed an excellent entertainment at the Jewel City Cafe. John C. Cordes and L. W. Bushard have interested themselves in the transfer of the Langenberger twenty acres to the city for park purposes. The gentlemen believe it would be a good investment, as they are of the opinion that this city is in need of a park. Many cities throughout Southern California have established parks and progressing citizens argue that Anaheim should have one also. Lloyd Porter, son of B. F. Porter, has arrived at home from France. He got a dose of Hun gas in the Argonne, but was not seriously injured. Captain Alexander Henry and Lieut. Fred Gresswell celebrated Washington’s birthday Saturday evening with Captain Henry’s cannon, the field chosen being the vacant lot east of Personal Mention Theodore Ford, of Orange, was in town on business Tuesday. S. M. Glass, of DesMoines, Iowa, was visiting last week with Mr. and Mrs. J. W. Duckworth. Miss Emily Hatch was visiting last week with her sister, Mrs. Carney, in Los Angeles. Mr. and Mrs. William Falkenstein and daughter Edith, were visiting at Ocean Park last week. Mrs. E. G. Segner and daughter, Miss Florence, left the first of the week for Monrovia, where they will make their home. G. H. Goodale has purchased an 8-acre ranch on South Palm street, outside the city limits. There is a 10-room residence on the place. Albert Graham left Saturday to attend the annual furniture show at San Francisco. Mrs. Graham accompanied him to see the sights of the northern metropolis. J. B. Rea is reported seriously ill, thinning of the blood being the cause. The physicians have been transfusing blood into his veins with good results. Mr. and Mrs. J. C. Idler motored up to Santa Barbara Sunday and visited Mr. Idler’s parents, Mr. and Mrs. Clinton Idler. C. C. Reinert took his wife and son and Mr. and Mrs. C. S. Troutman to the orange show at San Bernardino last Thursday. Miss Mildred Carter entertained Fri- James Mauerhan has received his discharge from the army and has returned to his home in this city on East street. "Jimmy" got as far as the camps in New York and Virginia, but the war ended before he was called overseas, but he was ready to do his bit, and his many friends know he would have given a good account of himself in swatting the Hun. Saturday being a holiday Fred Hudson and family came up from Long Beach and visited a few hours with old friends. Fred has a lucrative position with the Long Beach Shipbuilding Co. The company has contracts already booked for eighteen months at full capacity, consequently there is no danger of a shut-down. J. H. Bush, charged with giving a no-fund check for 12.65 to the Union Brewing Company of Anaheim, is to serve five months in the county jail. Bush withdrew a plea of not guilty and pleaded guilty. He was represented by Attorney M. A. Cain. Evidence taken in the preliminary examination showed that Bush had been drinking heavily when his check was accepted by the brewing company, and inasmuch as the brewing company had been selling him liquor the gravity of Bush's offense was evidently lessened in the eyes of the judge. Bush was given a short jail sentence instead of a term in the penitentiary. The telephone company and its unpopular actions of the past few weeks in increasing rates and making other changes, and the new dictator, Postmaster-General Burleson, were hotly discussed at the board of trade meeting Monday night. There is a growing sentiment in favor of organizing a cooperative company and discontinuing the use of the Pacific system entirely. Members who have seen the co-operative system in operation declare is has proven very satisfactory. That Newport Beach people are strong for developing a harbor there was shown Tuesdayay, when they voted $65,000 more bonds to be used in completing dredging of a channel from Newport past Balboa to the harbor entrance, which will give ten feet of water at low tide. This will enable all light draft boats to enter the harbor at all times. This makes a total of $240,000 the city of Newport has voted for and progressing citizens argue that Anaheim should have one also. Lloyd Porter, son of B. F. Porter, has arrived at home from France. He got a dose of Hun gas in the Argonne, but was not seriously injured. Captain Alexander Henry and Lieut. Fred Gresswell celebrated Washington's birthday Saturday evening with Captain Henry's cannon, the field chosen being the vacant lot east of Masonic Temple. Monday evening they fired the presidential salute in honor of President Wilson's return to his native land. Edwin Miller writes to his parents that he expects shortly to start home from France. W. H. Kennedy recently received a letter from his son, W. H. Kennedy, announcing that indications are the government will soon send him home. He is still in France. Mr. and Mrs. F. W. Schmidt are rejoicing over the arrival of a new daughter at their home. Five new members were taken in by the board of trade Monday night. They were W. F. Schurman, of the Anaheim Citrus Fruit Association, Clayton and E. S. Fitzgerald, H. P. Tobin and C. S. Wilson. THE CITRUS MARKET The Fruit World says: The market on navels is strong and advancing with delivered prices ranging well up to the $5 mark. The situation is extremely gratifying and the outlook is for continued satisfactory prices on all good fruit. Reports from the Eastern trade show that the fruit is giving satisfaction in most instances, although an occasional car of poor stock is offered that is generally undersirable and meets with slow sale at prices well under the general market value. F. o. b., quotations are on a basis of $3.75 with every indication of advancement to $4. The demand on the above basis is reported active and a good volume of business is resulting. Shipments the past seven days have totaled 775 cars as against 611 cars the previous week from Southern California districts. Packing houses are working full shifts in getting out fruit to fill the demand. In the Cleveland market this week blood into his veins with good results. Mr. and Mrs. J. C. Idler motored up to Santa Barbara Sunday and visited Mr. Idler's parents, Mr. and Mrs. Clinton Idler. C. C. Reinert took his wife and son and Mr. and Mrs. C. S. Troutman to the orange show at San Bernardino last Thursday. Miss Mildred Carter entertained Friday evening in honor of Miss Nellie Friend. Miss Friend's engagement to George Crawford has been announced, consequently her friends showered her with many useful presents. Dr. D. C. Balfour, of the Mayo Institute, Rochester, Minn., performed an operation or two at the Anaheim sanitarium Monday, a score of physicians from surraunding towns being present. Dr. Balfour is one of the country's most eminent surgeons. J. R. McGavren has received a message from his son, Leo, who has just arrived at Norfolk, Virginia, from overseas. Leo enlisted last July, and saw active service in France. He will soon be home and there will be rejoicing at the McGavren household. Leo was formerly employed at the postoffice. Robert Wilson this week received a letter from his son, Clarence, announcing that he is again with the Interstate Commerce Commission since Uncle Sam gave him his honorable discharge from the army. Clarence is a civil engineer, drawing $135 per month—and then some, in the shape of a bonus. Miss Barbara Balfour, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. James Balfour, of South Pasadena, is a guest of her uncle and aunt, Mr. and Mrs. W. T. Wallop. Mr.Balfour is assistant general passenger agent of the Southern Pacific railroad, and was formerly a resident of this city. Miss Barbara is six years old, and is having a splendid time visiting with her relatives here. Miss Nellie Look, who for a number of years past has been connected with Falkenstein's store, was married last week to Sergt. J. J. Coke, of San Diego. The ceremony took place at the First Christian church at San Diego. The groom has been in the service during the past eighteen months as an instructor at Camp Lewis and Camp Kearny. The newly-married couple will make their home in San Diego. Mr spent a week with W.A.

This will enable all light draft boats to enter the harbor at all times. This makes a total of $240,000 the city of Newport has voted for development of the harbor, $125,000 having been spent on the jetty and $50,000 for dredging. A harbor appears to be in the making at Newport bay and Tuesday's vote will no doubt enliven the campaign for the proposed county bond issue of $500,000 for further harbor work. The supervisors hold a hearing on the harbor report on March 18 and at that time are expected to set the date for the county harbor bond election. Monday a man from Long Beach was in Santa Ana to see if anything could be done about getting Fern L. Flacy, of Long Beach, out of jail. Flacy was sentenced on February 13 to thirty days in jail for speeding. No, Judge Cox didn't do it. It was the Judge Cox of Fullerton who gave Flacy thirty days for high speed. Since several national guard officers were injured by an automobilist, Fullerton has outdone Judge Cox on the sentencing of speeders to jail. The friend who was here made an investigation, but could discover no way by which Flacy could be gotten out of jail, not until his sentence is served. Mrs. Mary E. Phillips died at her home o Elm street Monday. Funeral was held at Backs & Terry's yesterday, Rev. J. F. Humphreys officiating. F. o. b. quotations are on a basis of $3.75 with every indication of advancement to $4. The demand on the above basis is reported active and a good volume of business is resulting. Shipments the past seven days have totaled 775 cars as against 611 cars the previous week from Southern California districts. Packing houses are working full shifts in getting out fruit to fill the demand. In the Cleveland market this week as high as $6 per box average was realized on navels from the Azusa-Covina-Glendora district, showing upward trend in the auction market. Weather conditions throughout the East continue ideal for the movement of oranges. Florida orange shipments are now down to an average of around forty cars daily and the crop will soon be cleaned up for the season. Prices are ranging from $3.50 to $3.75 f. o. b. shipping point for both Brights and Goldens. The demand for Florida fruit is reported good. The market on California lemons is easing off somewhat although there is no material change in prices. Shipments have been just a little heavier than the markets could readily absorb. Indications from the various heavy lemon producing districts throughout California are that in spite of the frost damage, the shipments this year will run well up to 10,000 cars and, while perhaps fully 2000 cars were ruined by frost, early estimates were fully 2000 cars short of what they should have been, thereby leaving little or no change in the estimated output as given out early in the season. There are no foreign lemons in port at this time and but one cargo of 19,000 boxes reported afloat. Miss Nellie Look, who for a number of years past has been connected with Falkenstein's store, was married last week to Sergt. J. J. Coke, of San Diego. The ceremony took place at the First Christian church at San Diego. The groom has been in the service during the past eighteen months as an instructor at Camp Lewis and Camp Kearny. The newly-married couple will make their home in San Diego. Editor Messenger and Business Manager Thomas, of the Cultivator, were in town a day or two ago, and took dinner with Mr. and Mrs. J. B. Neff. Mr. Neff is a contributor to the columns of the Cultivator, and is writing some of the best stuff appearing in that magazine. As headquarters for talent, Anaheim can't be beat. When it comes to the musical line she shines as in everything else. In keeping with the times she has produced a genuine Jazz orchestra under the leadership of Harry Felling, who is one of the originators of that type of music that makes your feet fox trot the rheumatism right out of your system. Since the flu ban has been lifted, Felling's orchestra has been compelled to refuse many dance and party engagements for the simple reason that they can only be in one place at a time. "We Lemon street residents," says Vic LaMont boastfully, "intend moving Los Angeles street down to Lemon and make that principal thoroughfare of the city. We have stolen the park, business men and others are flirting with our property, and chance we may ask to have the state highway moved a block west."

Falkensteins Department Store BEST ADVERTISEMENT IS A MUNICIPAL PARK Correspondent Points Out Advantages of Such a Resting Place Editor Gazette: I saw in an issue of your paper a nice article taken from the Aarrowhead Magazine, on Anaheim, its surroundings and advantages, and every word of it is true. But how much nicer it would have been if the writer could have added, "Her unique park, an attractive beauty spot located on the main highway." But we haven't it, so he couldn't say it. And why haven't we it? Is it a few thousand dollars that is blocking the way to what would be the most attractive feature of our popular city? Can't the people of Anaheim see, that park would be the greatest drawing card we could hold? Yes the trump card. Where else far or near, can one find another city the size of Anaheim, possessing its financial and social standing and abilities, as well as its unsurpassed surroundings, without a park? When I see, hear and read of what other towns are doing to beautify and make attractive their places, what great sums they are spending on them, compared to what Anaheim would have to pay for its proposed site, close in as it is, I marvel at their dilatoryness in not securing it at once. And what an advertisement it would be! A park on the public highway, and such a highway as that it! And we would call it Liberty Park. For surely we must do something to show our appreciation and gratitude to the cause of Freedom and Peace, and especially to those who went from our midst. And what could we do better than to establish a park? Good people, let us not longer delay. AN OBSERVER. Mr. and Mrs. Hawley and daughter spent a day or two in Los Angeles last week. W. A.

Taylor, editor of the Orange Star, was seriously injured in an auto accident Sunday. Taylor was just recovering from the flu. The Palm Cafe furnished a banquet for the officials of the Anaheim Beef & Provision Company Tuesday evening, when covers were laid for sixteen Chef Meyers prepared the viands in his usual high style of the culinary art. The Knights of Columbus gave an enjoyable dance at their hall Tuesday night in honor of returned soldiers who are members of the club. Mr. and Mrs. L. Goble entertained at a family reunion at their home on Broadway Sunday. Mr. and Mrs. E. S. Goble of Victorville, Miss Lulu Goble of Los Angeles, and Mr. and Mrs. A. E. Clark of this city were the guests. The high school is making big preparation for the presentation of the musical comedy, "The Mikado," which will be given about the first of April. The cast of characters has been arranged, the best singers in town being in it. So widely at variance are the statements of different wool experts that the American public can form no satisfactory opinion as to whether there is an over-abundance, an actual shortage, or just enough wool to go around. First the people are told that there is hardly enough wool to give a new suit of clothes to each man who needs one, and a day or two later, perhaps, they are informed of great quantities in storage across the seas. Some of the wool publicists are very emphatic in their reamrks, although sometimes confused in their hyerhole. They recall the remark of the politician who was arguing for conservation, and who said, "If you don't stop shearing the wool off the sheep that lays the golden egg you will pump it dry." While the family was absent last Wednesday, a sneak thief ransacked the home of M. F. Andrade. Nothing was missing from the house, consequently it is supposed the thief was frightened away.
