The question of a general tariff policy will be taken up by the Ways and Means Committee of the House sometime in September, and it is probable that general hearings will be opened at that time. There is increasing evidence that the income of the government will need decided rehabilitation before the end of the present fiscal year, and it is to anticipate this situation that the Republican leaders in Congress are beginning to give serious thought to the manner in which this is to be done. The question of a tariff policy is a very uncertain one just at this time, these leaders point out, because of the fact that it is impossible to tell what will be the cost of production abroad. Until Europe becomes industrially settled this important factor in the determination of a tariff policy in the United States cannot be satisfactorily met. The Ways and Means Committee has already acted favorably upon bills providing protective tariffs for optical, glassware, pearl buttons, a reduction in the taxes on fruit juices, and a measure calling for the renewal of PIONEER CITIZEN PASSES TO HIS REST J. B. REA BREATHES LAST AT HOME TUESDAY AFTERNOON Was Successful Walnut Grower, and Director of Golden State Bank. —Death Widely Mourned. J. B. Rea died at his home on East Broadway on Tuesday afternoon at 5 o'clock after a long and lingering illness. Death was due to anemia, from which he has suffered for more than a year. The end came peacefully, the long suffering patient having laid in a state of coma since the preceding day. Mr. Rea leaves a widow and two daughters, Miss Kate Rea and Mrs. W. T. Wallop to mourn his loss. Funeral services will be held at Backs & Terry's chapel on this Thursday, morning at 10 o'clock. Services will be conducted by Rev. Dr. Jackson, an old time personal friend of deceased. The body will be taken to Los Angeles for cremation. Mr. Rea came here some thirty years ago from San Diego county, where he had been for many years in the mercantile business at El Cajon. He was a pioneer resident of San Diego county, having come from Canada in search of health and restoration of his shattered forces. He lived many years having regained his health and was wide and favorably known throughout Southern California. He was one of the first men to foresee the possibil- FIRST FUMIGATIONS PROVE BIG SUCCESS On an actual count made this week in a unit of the great citrus orchard of the Chase Plantations at Corona, 99.6 per cent of the scale was killed in a fumigation with the newly-perfected hydrocyanic acid, called Hydro-Cy, and the Hydro-Cy applicator. The complete check on the results of the fumigation were made personally by O. C. Barnes, manager of this 750-acre ranch. This orchard is being fumigated a month earlier this year than in past years, owing to the fact that the scale is much farther developed this year. This is a condition found in many other citrus localities. Mr. Barnes is using the hydrocyanic acid manufactured by The Pacific R. & H. Chemical Corporation of Los Angeles, of which F. W. Braun is vice-president and general manager. This product is also being furnished growers this year through the Fruit Growers' Supply Company to the Califronia Fruit Growers' Exchange. The big Corona grove is being fumigated with this new product, (HydroCy), that has proved so successful under repeated experiments. Mr. Barnes said this week that he attributes the remarkable success of the fumigation with "HydroCy" to the fact that the product is uniform in strength, and is completely diffused beneath the tent with the use of the Hydro-Cy "applicator," a machine invented with which to apply this new material. Like many other citrus communities, Corona has had a tough fumigating problem during the last two years. It is natural that there is big interest in these first fumigations of the year. Much poor fumigation of last year has been attributed to the lack of uniformity in quality of cause of the fact that it is impossible to tell what will be the cost of production abroad. Until Europe becomes industrially settled this important factor in the determination of a tariff policy in the United States cannot be satisfactorily met. The Ways and Means Committee has already acted favorably upon bills providing protective tariffs for optical glassware, pearl buttons, a reduction in the taxes on fruit juices, and a measure calling for the repeal of the Canadian reciprocity act, which has never been taken advantage of by the Canadian government. Mr. Rea came here some thirty years ago from San Diego county, where he had been for many years in the mercantile business at El Cajon. He was a pioneer resident of San Diego county, having come from Canada in search of health and restoration of his shattered forces. He lived many years having regained his health and was wide and favorably known throughout Southern California. He was one of the first men to foresee the possibilities of walnut culture in the section south of this city, and his 80-acre orchard was one of the show places of Orange county. He was the first man to foresee the great advantages of raising water for irrigation from the ground, and his large pumping plant was the first in the section south of town. His success in raising great volumes of water was followed by hundreds of other farmers, until today there are more pumping plants in this region than any other part of the world. He was one of the most successful horticulturists who ever lived here, and his orchard was noted far and wide as being one of the best kept and most productive in the county. He disposed of his orchard a number of years ago, and devoted his time to the banking business and his own private interests. He was a man of large financial means, and was a director in the Golden State Bank. He was at one time a director of the Anaheim Union Water Co., and was one of the ablest and clearest headed men who ever sat on the board. His death will be widely mourned by his many personal friends throughout this section. Mr. Rea was attacked by anemia a year or more ago, and the best specialists were engaged in the effort to prolong his life, but the insidious claims of the destroyer were such that it was impossible to save him. Transfusion of blood was resorted to on many occasions, but while they seemed temporarily to prolong his life, the treatment caused great distress, and was some months ago abandoned. He persisted in his efforts to prolong his life, and new specialists were called in to treat the malady. He sank gradually and for some weeks past has been confined to his home. Death came at-last to close the eyes of a distinguished and well beloved citizen, whose demise will be sincerely mourned by his many personal friends throughout Southern California.

The record obtained this year justifies the belief that a high percentage of scale killing efficiency may be relied upon when Hydro-Cy is used by Hydro-Cy methods—Covina Argus. That J. J. Stein, against whom a complaint was issued, charging him with the embezzlement of $300, has been taken into custody and is being held pending the arrival of officers from Santa Ana, was the information contained in a telegram received from Seattle by Sheriff Jackson. In the telegram it is stated that Stein will waive extradition. Stein was formerly employed by George Waterman as manager of a mercantile store at Richfield. It is alleged that Stein, who had authority to sign checks in the name of Waterman, in the conduct of the business, wrote a check for $300; which he gave as part payment on an automobile which Stein is alleged to have appropriated to his own use. FRUIT STANDS CAUSE OF BLOCKING TRAFFIC Highways throughout Southern California are being blocked to traffic by the abundance of fruit and fresh vegetables pouring to "roadside markets" from the fields and foothills. This tale harks back to the days of Dick Whittington, who made his way to London Town when he heard that the streets in the big city were paved with gold—and to the Days of '49 when the eastern youth "went west, young man" because he heard that there were mountains of gold in California... Now officials of the Automobile Club of Southern California are up against a very real problem in meeting hundreds of complaints from motorists who report that their touring pleasure is curtailed because of the many automobiles stopping in front of fruit stands which line the roads from San Diego to San Luis Obispo. Highways which are particularly marked by the traffic blockade are: The El Monte boulevard, the Harbor boulevard, the Los Feliz road, the Lankershim-Universal City route, Huntington drive, San Gabriel boule...

And there is no provision in the State Motor Vehicle law to prevent cars from standing on public highways—unless they are making repairs, according to the legal department of the Automobile Club. In front of some of the most popular "road markets" as many as twenty-five automobiles have been reported to be parked at one time, practically blockading travel in both directions. Accidents have been directly traced to the fact that people cross the road from their machines to the little fruit stands and are struck by on-coming cars. At the present time the Auto club is considering enlisting the help of all county speed officers in Southern California to keep travel moving in front of these "watermelon wallows." THE CITY'S WEALTH Anaheim's assessment roll this year is $113,190 greater than that of a year ago, according to City Clerk Merritt's statement. Following are the figures for this year, a year ago and the fiscal year 1900-1901: 1919-1920.

Information that thousands of tons of foodstuffs, including butter, eggs, meats, beans, potatoes, fruits and canned goods are being held in storage in Los Angeles, San Francisco, and scores of other California cities and towns is in the hands of United States Attorney Robert O'Connor who is directing the Government's investigation of food-hoarding and food-profiteering in this Federal district. A great percentage of this gigantic hoard of food, now withheld from the market, is owned by individuals and firms who are not and never have been dealers, either wholesale, retail or middlemen. Speculators, pure and simple, is the motive back of this storing up of supplies for anticipated higher prices, it is said. "Hoarding" within the meaning of the Food Control Act, is the way the Government Investigators indicate such speculative activities. In many cases, it is believed, prosecutions will be possible under the anti-trust statutes for bidding combin- Attorney O'Connor. Big and little wholesalers and retailers will be quizzed. Growers and shippers will be compelled to give the government what information it requires. Searching inquiry will be directed to the end that the responsibility for exorbitant prices for fruits, berries and vegetables grown right here at home may be fixed. A case in point: Grapes that were grown within fifteen miles of Los Angeles went begging at 5 cents a pound, were finally sold at 4 cents, passed from the wholesaler to the retailer at 10 cents and were offered to the public at 20 cents a pound. Melons, retailing at 3½ cents a pound, sold in the patch at $20 a ton. Potatoes, turnips, carrots and other garden truck fetch the grower, it is said, little more than the cost of production, but become so expensive by the time they reach the grocer or the vegetable market that the consumer is forced to buy less than he needs or none at all. Investigators from the Department of Justice went into the farming and truck gardening districts to gather reliable data respecting destruction of growing crops. METAL MINING IN CALIFORNIA IN MIDYEAR OF 1919. The outstanding feature of metal-mining in California during the first half of 1919 is the closing down or the restriction of the operations of some of the principal productive deep mines. A number of mines, according to C. G. Yale, of the United States Geological Survey Department of the Interior, have been closed by labor strikes; others by the low prices of the metals produced, the high taxes and other "war conditions."

With its heart broken, as Mr. Wilson says, there's nothing for it to do but get a hoss pistol and end it all. A party composed of Fred Zeppenfeld and family, D. J. Donnelly and family, Mrs. Swartz and Miss Esther Grewco of this city and Dr. W. W. Davis of Brea, motored to San Diego last week where they spent two days on a sight seeing trip. There were three auto loads and a most enjoyable time was had by all. Dr. Davis has recently returned from France where he spent more than a year as a surgeon in the American base hospitals. It is anticipated that the government will call upon the owners and lessees of warehouses throughout the district to report the amounts and kinds of food stuffs held and the names of the owners thereof. If Congress adopts the suggestions made by President Wilson large quantities of these hoarded-up stores may be ordered thrown upon the market at once. Inquiry by special agents of the Department of Justice engaged in making a preliminary survey of the local situation already has developed that the warehouses and storage plants throughout Southern California are crammed to the busting point with foods of all kinds. Assistant United States Attorney Green said: "It is likely that many of these speculators will now be sorry that they went into the food hoarding business. One salutary effect of the vigorous market is owned by individuals and firms who are not and never have been dealers, either wholesale, retail or middlemen.

Gratifying progress has been made already in the big inquiry inaugurated by U.S. Attorney O'Connor last Thursday in response to explicit instructions from Attorney General A.

A general plan of operation on the Pacific Coast is being formulated by the United States Attorneys in Los Angeles, San Francisco, Portland, Seattle and Honolulu. Assistant U.S. Attorney Thomas F. Green, who returned yesterday from San Francisco where he was in conference with Mrs. Annette Adams, U.S. District Attorney for the Northern District of California, and representatives of the Department of Justice from Hawaii, Oregon and Washington, reported to Mr. O'Connor that a tentative plan for co-ordinated action had been agreed upon and submitted to the Attorney General.

A meeting of unusual consequence is to be held at the Santa Ana city hall Friday afternoon at 2 o'clock, at which time Francis Cuttle of Riverside will deliver an address on the water conservation problems of Orange county, together with their relations to the water problems of Riverside and San Bernardino counties. The meeting has been arranged by the Orange County Farm Bureau, and to it every person in the county interested in the subject of water conservation and of flood control is invited. Particularly invited are these interested in the Santa Ana river. This meeting is important as it will undoubtedly bring up for further discussion the plan of forming a water conservation district of Orange, Riverside and San Bernardino counties. The Anaheim Elks' Building Association with a capital stock of $75,000, has field articles of incorporation with the county clerk, and will proceed at once toward the erection of the Elks' hall on North Lemon street. According to the articles filed with the clerk the association proposes "to deal in real estate, to buy lands, and buildings for the use of fraternal and benevolent organizations for the use of hotels, restaurants, athletic grounds and like projects." The board of directors for the first year will be D.Jessurun, Anaheim; M.W.Martenet, Anaheim; William Schumacher, Buena Park; T.L.McFadden, Placentia; O.A.Mullinix, Anaheim; Herman Stern, Anaheim, and William Berkenstock, Placentia. The capital stock is to be divided into 75,000 shares of a par value of $1 each. Assistant United States Attorney Green said: "It is likely that many of these speculators will now be sorry that they went into the food hoarding business. One salutary effect of the vigorous campaign started by the Attorney General probably will be that great quantities of the necessaries of life which were bought and being held for higher prices will be voluntarily released by the owners and holders thereof now that prosecution is starting them in the face. Once given a chance to operate, the law of supply and demand will go far toward solving the serious problem of high prices." So clamorous is the demand for storage space that many abandoned wineries and idle fruit-packing houses have been pressed into service and are now being filled with foodstuffs owned in many cases by individuals who accumulated them for profitering purposes. In San Francisco, Mr. Green learned three shiploads of beans were being held in warehouses by one man who never was interested in beans before and who is neither a wholesaler nor a retailer of food products. In Southern California, it is charged, hundreds of carloads of beans are being held for speculation. All associations, exchanges, combinations of whatever character for the control of foods and fixing of prices are to be rigidly investigated by U.S. In this connection it should be noted that the reduction in the quantity of gold produced may be attributed to a decrease in the output of the larger mines. The number of producing mines in the State has materially increased during the last year or year an and a half, but the increase in number is really among the smaller mines, especially the deep or quartz mines, which after a few years of increase are now being reopened and re-worked. The Mammoth plant of the United States Smelting and Refining Co., the most productive mine in California, all metals considered, ceased operations on May 15, because of labor trouble. For some time there has been a serious shortage of labor in the Little Backbone and other copper-mining districts, which compelled the Mammoth to keep its smelter operating only on reserve stocks of ore. Early in May certain of the mechanics, including the machinists, bollermakers, and operators of trains, demanded an increase in wages to those paid when the government price of copper was 26 cents a pound and also a Saturday half-holiday. The miners themselves did not join in this strike of the mechanics. As the company was operating at a loss and could not obtain ore from the reserve stock piles without locomotor cranemen and coul d not keep the smelter in operation without machinists and bollermakers, it was forced to close the smelter for an indefinite period, although development work was continued in the Mammoth mine. The closing of the smelter, however, stopped work at a number of other mines, which had been shipping to it, among others, the Afterthought mine. The Penn Mining Co., mining copper in Calaveras county, ceased THE MONEY WOLF Some men are always living in fear that the wolf of want will catch them by the heels some day and bring them down. Get away from this fear. You needn't worry about this wolf if you have a VICTORY ACCOUNT in this strong, safe bank. The VICTORY ACCOUNT is a savings account which enables you to save for the future; and also provides for the payment of $500 to $1000 to a member of your family in case of your death. Make it your business to see our Mr. Goff at once and have the VICTORY ACCOUNT explained to you in detail. Life will begin to look brighter after that. AMERICAN SAVINGS BANK Affiliated With First National Bank Anaheim, California operations, and the output of the Calaveras Copper Co., has been materially curtailed. A number of copper properties in other counties also have stopped work, owing to the low price of the metal and the scarcity of labor. NOTICE Application of Charles T. Boynton, owner and operator of the Boulevard Express having been filed with the City of Anaheim, for the permit to use the streets and highways of said City for the transportation of freight and public bearing of said application. operations, and the output of the Calaveras Copper Co., has been materially curtailed. A number of copper properties in other counties also have stopped work, owing to the low price of the metal and the scarcity of labor. The most productive lead and zinc mine in the State, the Cerro Gordo, Inyo county, has also been closed down because of labor trouble. A fire in the Argonaut mine, Jackson, Amador Co., the most productive of the Mother Lode mines, stopped work there for two months, but operations were resumed June 1. Fumes from the fire hampered work materially in the adjoining Kennedy mine, another large producer. A miners' strike at Grass Valley, Nevada county, the region including the most productive deep gold mines of California, materially curtailed for a time the gold output of the North Star and other large properties. The larger mines have greatly reduced their working force and will not be able to operate to advantage for osme time. The lower levels will have to be pumped out. It is pleasant to note renewed activity at the gravel mines in California, particularly at the hydraulic and drift mines. In Trinity and Siskiyou counties a large number of mines that have been more or less idle have good accounts of themselves this year, when an abundance of water was available. Some of the townsites—old, historic places like St. Louis, Sierra county—are being hydraulicked in these days, the towns having been abandoned. In the same region hydraulic mining on a large scale is contemplated also at Howland Flat, Port Wine, La Porte, and other mining camps whose history can be traced back to 1849. The Liberty Hill Mining Co. is strengthening and raising its large debris dam near Dutch Flat, preliminary to an increase in operations, and the Marysville-Nevada Water Power Co. is building a very high restraining dam at Colgate, Butte county, for debris produced by hydraulic mining. This dam will take tailings from gravel mines at Brandy City, Scales, Depot Hill, Horse Valley and other mines in that region. The Mammoth Spring Mining Company has resumed work on its drift mines in the Dutch Flat region. NOTICE Application of Charles T.

The Mammoth Spring Mining Company has resumed work on its drift mines in the Dutch Flat region, in Placer county. Work at numerous silver-lead properties in Inyo and San Bernardino counties has been started within the last six months. Some of these are old mines, which have been idle for 20 years or more. Rich silver ores have recently been discovered near Randsburg, in Kern county, and their discovery has stimulated active prospecting throughout that region. The deposits are being mined with local capital. Chairman Talbert of the board of supervisors has appointed Supervisors Schumacher and Finley a committee to investigate the advisability of forming the Buena Park-Cypress drainage district. This was done in compliance with the new State law requiring that before a new drainage district is formed in a county the project must be investigated by the board of supervisors to determine whether or not the proposed district is needed. Property owners in the Buena Park-Cypress district having already voted in favor of the project, it is expected that the investigation ordered by the county will be more or less of a pernunctory nature.
