HARBOR BONDS CARRY BY BIG MAJORITY SOUTHERN END OF COUNTY GIVES OVERWHELMING VOTE IN FAVOR OF THE IMPROVEMENT Little Interest Manifested in North End—Less Than Four Hundred Votes Cast In Anaheim, Negative Majority Being 32. Orange County voters Tuesday by a large majority ratified the proposition to issue $500,000 in bonds for the creation of a harbor at Newport Beach. The vote for the bonds was 6532, against 2543, giving a majority of 1446 above the necessary two-thirds. Only one-third of the vote in the county was cast. Little interest was manifested in the north part of the county where a small majority was registered against the bonds, but Santa Ana and the beach towns voted overwhelmingly for favor of setting aside the transfers. H. G. Ames appeared as attorney for Walls and Long Beach attorneys appeared for Buhrman. INCREASING BUSINESS COMPELS ENLARGEMENT OF FORCE Eight People Now Wait on Customers at Exchange Grill. Five months ago Fritz Kluewer opened the Exchange Grill in the room formerly occupied by the Exchange saloon. The business was small at the beginning, a young lady clerk being the only assistance Fritz needed, but it immediately began to grow and expand, until a force of eight persons is now required to serve the customers. In addition to himself the force consists of Hugo Valland, chef, Charley Borckartt, assistant cook, Carl Zerno, manager, Misses Blanche Allen, Ada Hamilton and Hazel Hamilton, waitresses, and Lee Baker, general utility man. Monsieur Volland, the French chef, is an expert in his line and the Exchange is growing famous for its cuisine. Many alterations have been made in the room in order to accommodate and entertain the customers. A kitchen has been built in the rear to make room for another long counter, and the DEMAND FOR PLACE TO LAND HOUSE HUNTING DOWN AND UNPROFIT SUIT IN THIS AT PRESS Oil Industry Bringing Region Who Wants Anaheim—Other Building Many When will the people awaken to the fact that strangers are knocking asking permission to abide with us, and we welcome them to be no place in which these people are deserved and would be valuable population.

Orange County voters Tuesday by a large majority ratified the proposition to issue $500,000 in bonds for the creation of a harbor at Newport Beach. The vote for the bonds was 6532, against 2543, giving a majority of 1446 above the necessary two-thirds. Only one-third of the vote in the county was cast. Little interest was manifested in the north part of the county where a small majority was registered against the bonds, but Santa Ana and the beach towns voted overwhelmingly for the proposition. In Santa Ana the vote was 2638 to 478 for the bonds. Santa Ana held an impromptu celebration at midnight when the result was known, and a procession of exuberant joyriders came over and woke up the peaceful citizens of Anaheim with horns, whistles and other instruments of torture. Out of a registration of 1998 the city of Anaheim cast only 392 votes, 180 of these being for the bonds and 212 against. Seventy-two votes were cast in East Anaheim, 30 for and 42 against while the westside swatted the proposition by an almost four to one vote. Very little interest was taken in the matter here, people generally believing that Newport bay is so far away that its improvement would have little influence on this community. Several autos were out hauling people to the polls else the vote would have been much lighter. A light vote, also a negative vote, in the north end of the county was foreseen, as the people could not be convinced that money spent on a beach town could benefit the inland sections of the county. Following is the vote cast here: High School— For the bonds ... 82 Against the bonds ... 105 Majoritp against ... 23 Fremont School— For the bonds ... 98 Against the bonds ... 107 Majority against ... 9 East Anaheim— For the bonds ... 30 Against the bonds ... 42 Majority against ... 12 West Anaheim— For the bonds ... 21 Against the bonds ... 78 Majority against ... 57 HOLLYWOOD HIGH WINS CHAMPIONSHIP Debating Teams Defeat All Others in Southern California Competition. By defeating San Diego High School in the final debate of the Southern California Debating League, Hollywood High School won the championship of Southern California at Anaheim on Friday night. The subject of the debate was: "Resolved, that a plan similar to the Whitley council would be the most practical means to develop co-operation between labor and capital in the United States." Miss Margie Lindsay and Adrian Head represented Hollywood and Leand Stanford and Bertrand Comparet, San Diego. The debate was hotly contested before an audience of 600 people. The score by points was Hollywood 193, San Diego 184 2-3. Friday night's debate was the culmination of an interesting series between Southern California high schools covering a period of several weeks. Hollywood High met a number of the leading high school debating teams and was not once defeated. As a result of the victory Hollywood High is awarded a silver loving cup donated by the Stanford University and the banner donated by the leagues. Adrian Head was awarded the gold medal and Bertrand Comparet the silver medal given by the league.

Buhrman will be subjected to proceedings for the collection of a judgment of $2,156.74 given J. W. Walls on May 8, 1918. The original suit by Walls was based upon the allegation that he and Buhrman, who owned a ranch at Olive, had agreed to trade properties and that Buhrman did not carry out the agreement. Walls got judgment. When an effort was made to collect under that judgment, it was found that Buhrman had transferred some or all of his property to his sister, Mrs. Anna Klaus of Los Angeles. Walls brought suit for a judgment setting aside the transfers. He alleged that the transfers were made in December previous to the entrance of judgment against Buhrman and for the purpose of defeating any judgment that might be entered against him. In court yesterday, Buhrman and Mrs. Klaus said that the property change between them was made upon a contract under which Mrs. Klaus agreed to take care of Buhrman the with the war department and was and came home a cripple. The judgment of the court was in NEW BUSINESS BUILDING ON LEMON STREET Theodore Roberts Begins Work on Brick Structure This Week. Theodore Roberts begins work this week on the business block which he has long contemplated erecting on the Deutsch tract, a large portion of which he is now the sole owner. The first portion to be erected is a brick garage on Lemon street, opposite the Pacific Telephone Company's office. It will be completed within thirty days and is to be occupied by G. M. Simpson and G. R. Franklin as the Cole automobile agency. It is to be a beautiful and commodious room, especially fitted for the business by which it will be occupied. As soon as this building is completed work will begin on the splendid brick block which Mr. Roberts will construct on the corner of Lemon and Center streets. All the plans are complete, and there will be no delay in the work. The garage room will be a portion of the whole building, but it is being constructed first because the lessees are desirous of getting possession as soon as possible. This block will be an ornament to that section of the city, and will add another to the splendid new buildings which have recently been slated for Lemon street.

When will the people of Anaheim awaken to the fact that hundreds of strangers are knocking at our gates asking permission to come in and abide with us, and we cannot extend a welcome to them because we have no place in which to house them? These people are desirable citizens and would be valuable additions to our population. They are coming to this region to stay, because their business is here, and unless we provide places in which they can live other towns GROWING TOMATOES NEED CAREFUL ATTENTION Enemy Insects Can be Controlled by Proper Spraying. Ray Nebelung, who is now assistant farm advisor of Riverside county, writes as follows regarding the tomato crop: One of the most important truck crops being planted this season is the tomato, a crop which has enjoyed a large and healthful growth during the last two years especially. Canners are offering a fair price to the growers ranging from $15 to $20 per ton, depending upon location. place of delivery and the individual canner. As a rule the growers feel satisfied with the prices offered and there has been a consequent large acreage planted. In growing this crop there are a few factors to be borne in mind, some of which the average grower may overlook. While in the seed bed, the plants are very tender and require special care and attention. Water should be applied frequently, being sprinkled on lightly, as the plants are susceptible to damping off, although there has been very little of that this year. The Jumping flea beetle has been quite prevalent this season, doing considerable damage to the young plants. This can beat it controlled by frogs.

When will the people of Anaheim awaken to the fact that hundreds of strangers are knocking at our gates asking permission to come in and abide with us, and we cannot extend a welcome to them because we have no place in which to house them? These people are desirable citizens and would be valuable additions to our population. They are coming to this region to stay, because their business is here, and unless we provide places in which they can live other towns will absorb them. Hundreds of men are coming here to work in the oil fields, and a large majority of them claim they would rather house their families in Anaheim than any other point, but until houses are provided they are compelled to live elsewhere. All the real estate men in Anaheim are unable to furnish them, one man stating that 150 families would move in at once if they could find house room. Fullerton, Placentia and other towns are feverishly active in the erection of new dwellings, scores of them being recently finished or now under construction. Anaheim, the chief town of northern Orange county, and the most desirable place of residence, will be compelled to turn away all these home seekers unless something is speedily done to make room for them. A large percentage of the new comers are oil men who are flocking here to work in the adjacent fields. They can live in other towns and reach their work just as easily as they can from Anaheim, but they prefer to live here. They are a desirable class of people and every effort should be made to locate them here. Moreover, industries within the city have been handicapped by the lack of homes. The marmalade factory and the packing houses have been needing additional help, but parties from a distance desiring to work in these plants have been unable to find a roof to cover them or their families. The Orange Products factory, which is just beginning operations, will need a large number of persons, Manager Crawford stating that within two years it will have on its pay roll from 150 to 200 employees. These people mostly will come from outside, and they must have houses in which to live. What the future will bring forth in the matter of an oil boom is merely a guess. Expert oil men, including E. L. Doheny, have expressed the opinion that the oil strata tapped by the Placentia wells, passes under this city. The jumping flea beetle has been quite prevalent this season, doing considerable damage to the young plants. This can best be controlled by frequent sprayings with a 4-5-50 Bordeaux spray. This acts as a repellant, and will keep the flea beetles off any leaves sprayed, but the new leaves as they come on are unprotected, and if there is a new infestation, must also be sprayed. Flea beetles can easily be recognized as they are a small, black jumping insect about the size of a flea, and eat small holes in the leaves. They may become so thick as to eat all but the middle of the leaves, and consequently destroy the plants. The plants, mostly set out in the field during May, should be about six feet apart in rows six feet apart. Water should be applied immediately after planting, so that the plants will have every chance for reviving after being transplanted. In about ten days there should be a second planting of all that failed to come the first time. The plants should be watched at all times for flea beetle, and when the infestation becomes serious, should be sprayed. The tomato fruit worm may also become a serious pest, and can be somewhat controlled by spraying early with lead arsenate, two pounds to fifty gallons of water. This can also be controlled somewhat by planting sweet corn around the tomato field as the worm had rather eat the corn than the tomato. Neither of these methods will absolutely control it, however. The tomato fruit worm should not be confused with the worm which eats the leaves. This big green horned worm can best be controlled by picking off and destroying. Summer blight is often very troublesome and may cause large losses. This is characterized by the leaves turning yellow, curling upward, and the veins on the under sides of the leaves turning purple. Although it is generally conceded that there is no absolute remedy for this, the writer last summer saw several fields which were rather badly infested, and in which, upon being sprayed with a 5-5-50 Bordeaux spray, the spread was factors to be borne in mind, some of which the average grower may overlook.

Telephone subscribers who favor the organization of a mutual company but are timorous about signing the order directing the company to remove their phones because of the inconvenience entailed, need have no fear on that score, as the old phones will not be dropped until the new system is so far advanced that the phoneless period will be short. Charles Eygabroad, Anaheim member of the board of directors of the mutual company, explained to the board of trade Monday night the work so far accomplished by the directors. At a meeting Friday night the directors fixed the price of stock at $10 per share, and each subscriber must subscribe for one share. Each director purchased one share, which was sufficient to form the company, and application for incorporation will be made immediately. Following its usual custom The Bell company is expected to file an injunction and the matter will be carried before the supreme court, but an early decision is expected, probably within sixty days. Messrs. Head, Eden, Koepsel and Ruten are acting as attorneys for the directors, and are preparing the papers to present to the secretary of state. They will also carry the fight through the supreme court. There is little question that the court's decision will favor the mutual company, but the Bell company will hamper the work as much as possible. The cost of putting in a first-class system will probably be $100 per phone, and each subscriber must buy one share of stock, paying $10 therefor. No subscriber, regardless of the number of phones he uses, can purchase more than one share. The cost to the phone users after the system is established, will be not more than half what the old company charges, as the mutual company will be a no-profit concern, the actual cost of maintenance being the only revenue desired. Dr. J. E. Waters of the local committee reported that only half of the desired number of signatures had been secured in Anaheim up to date. The reason for this, he said, was not because the telephone users refused to co-operate but because the committee had not been able to see them. The committeeemen had been giving as much time as possible to the work but they needed assistance. Nobody had volunteered to help and it had been impossible to hire canvassers except for a few hours. Sentiment here favored the move, but the work was draggled. Many rays forward toward a low grade not require to operate. This result Victory Moor formia, who engines form of the insturia formia.

Expert oil men, including E. L. Doheny, have expressed the opinion that the oil strata tapped by the Placentia wells, passes under this city. Land near this city is being leased, test wells will soon be sunk, and there is a possibility that within a year or two derricks will spring up like mushrooms in this vicinity. But even should oil add nothing to our growth other industries are attracting people here and they must be housed. Some effort is being made to meet the situation, but it is not enough. The big apartment house being erected by V. W. LaMont is going up as rapidly as possible. When completed it will take care of thirty families. The Bungalow Syndicate Company is preparing to build a bungalow court of ten apartments on Philadelphia street, having purchased the Methodist church site. Billy Franz is contemplating building a court of ten four-room apartments on Santa Fe street, and a few houses are going up in various parts of town, but all of these will fill but a small percentage of the demand. Anaheim must have more houses or it will be compelled to stand still while its neighbors are growing in population, industries and wealth. G. M. Sinmpson went over to Kingman last week on business connected with the Standard Minerals Company's mining property. Summer blight is often very troublesome and may cause large losses. This is characterized by the leaves turning yellow, curling upward, and the veins on the under sides of the leaves turning purple. Although it is generally conceded that there is no absolute remedy for this, the writer last summer saw several fields which were rather badly infested, and in which, upon being sprayed with a 5-50 Bordeaux spray, the spread was effectually checked. Favorable weather conditions may have been the determining factor in this control, but the writer feels that spray was somewhat instrumental. Late blight, which occurs generally after the first fall rains, can be quite effectually checked by spraying with Bordeaux 4-5-50. The tomato, like other truck crops, enjoys a good soil and sufficient moisture. A soil too rich in nitrogen and kept too moist will produce large vines, but at the expense of the fruit. Soils too rich in nitrogen are not common in California, however, but some care should be taken not to apply too much water. The soil should be kept moist enough so that the plant never suffers through lack of water, but the irrigation should not be too frequent. A good cultivation should follow each irrigation. Especial cultivation should be used in watering at blossoming time as water applied at this time is very liable to cause the blossoms to drop and reduce the crop. An irrigation late in the growth of the crop may cause the fruit to become watery and inferior in shipping quality. In conclusion, I would warn the growers to watch the condition of their plants at all times, and investigate anything which appears to be unusual. The supply of advertising literature having been exhausted the committee on advertising was instructed to get busy and arrange for the printing of something new, as prospectuses of Southern California are mighty interesting reading to eastern people just now. This same committee was also instructed to bring the signboards at our gateways up to date. On these boards the population is given as 6000, but it is realized that the figure is too low. It is the general opinion that it should be raised to at least 7000, and possibly 8000. The gentlemen who have been compiling a city directory secured number of signatures had been secured in Anaheim up to date. The reason for this, he said, was not because the telephone users refused to co-operate but because the committee had not been able to see them. The committeemen had been giving as much time as possible to the work but they needed assistance. Nobody had volunteered to help and it had been impossible to hire canvassers except for a few hours. Sentiment here favored the move, but the work was dragging because sufficient help was lacking. With the exception of Fullerton the balance of the county reported good progress. M. E. Beebe thinks fire insurance is too high in Anaheim and he favors a re-survey of the city with a view to lowering rates. He stated that the last survey was made in 1913 and 1914, and many improvements that would tend to lower the rate have been made since that time. For instance, the city has installed a chemical fire engine, which should have a material influence on the rate charged. Secretary Whitaker was instructed to write to the board of underwriters and request a re-survey. The supply of advertising literature having been exhausted the committee on advertising was instructed to get busy and arrange for the printing of something new, as prospectuses of Southern California are mighty interesting reading to eastern people just now.

DESTRUCTIVE FIRE IS NARROWLY AVERTED Spontaneous Combustion Starts Blaze in Fullerton School. The new grammar school building at the corner of Wilshire and Lawrence avenues came nearly being a heap of ashes and smoldering ruins Monday evening. Janitor Billy Robinson at 6 o'clock in the evening had left the finishing touches of the janitors work in the hands of his industrious young assistants, Percy Ellis and Harry Ritchie, and went out in search of two truants. The boys completed the janitor work and decided to put in a few minutes study for the examinations to be held on Tuesday and had just closed their books and started to leave when they observed smoke issuing from the front of the basement. Fortunately for the school district Mr. Robinson had from time to time told the boys what to do in case of fire, and the boys did it. These brave little fellows quickly made their way through smoke and flame and, uncolling the fire hose, soon had it playing on the flame and they ex- COMMENCEMENT EXERCISES TONIGHT CLASS OF 1919, ANAHEIM HIGH SCHOOL, FINISHES CAREER AND PASSES INTO HISTORY Senior Play Greeted by a Large Audience Tuesday Night—Histrionic Talent of a High Order Showns by the Actors and Actorines.

This result has been achieved by the Victory Motor Company of Niles, California, who have been building these engines for several years making most of the installations in Northern California. They are now in position, however, to take care of the Southern California business. The engine is of the vertical type, very simple, with no valves and few moving parts. Ignition is by means of a Bosch Oscillating Magneto which starts the engine immediately without the usual twenty or thirty minutes heading of the head with a torch. Lubrication is automatic and requires no adjusting, in fact the engine is practically fool-proof and can be operated by anyone. It is made in sizes from 12 to 75 HP in one two and three cylinders.

Owing to the fact that it is strictly a California product, repair parts, can be easily obtained from the distributor, or factory if necessary, on very short notice. The engine is being manufactured in quantities which enables the maker to sell at an extremely reasonable price. Smith-Booth-Usher Company, Los Angeles, are distributors for Southern California and have already put in a number of successful plants. Reports have reached the Bureau of Internal Revenue that some taxpayers are under the impression that revenue agents sent out to check up income tax returns are receiving commissions on amounts found to be due the government. The Bureau of Internal Revenue issued a statement declaring such impression to be erroneous and wholly without foundation. Revenue officers engaged in checking up returns, it was stated, are on a salaried basis, and there is no incentive to add to the correct amount of the tax due.

Recently there have been received by the Bureau numerous uncancelled stamps taken from taxable articles purchased at drug stores. Regulations 51, relating to the collection of the tax on toilet and medicinal articles, provide that each stamp affixed to a taxable article must be cancelled in such manner as to prevent its further use. "If possible," the regulations state, "the stamp should be affixed to the outside of the package or container of the tax commodity so that upon opening the same the stamp will be destroyed. The initial or name of the vendor, together with the date when the stamp was affixed or cancelled, must appear on the cancelled stamp." This provision, the Bureau states, will be strictly enforced. The penalty for making use of a stamp to denote the tax imposed without cancelling the stamp is a fine of not more than $100. Friday's probate calendar in the Superior court was the heaviest in the history of the county. Judge West disposed of fifty-four matters during the day.
