STORE When the Great Northern reached New York after its last trip as a transport, Charley McAulay applied for and received his discharge from the navy. He immediately signed up with the steamship company as an electrician and was continued in his position on the big ship, the only change being in his pay check which is now $100 per month. The Great Northern is now en route to the Pacific. George Meyers and family have moved into their new residence on West Broadway. An automobile containing four persons, all of Anaheim, and being driven by Anderson Elliott, met with a bad accident at the foot of the Bastanchury hill about one and one-half miles north of the city, the auto being badly damaged, but the occupants escaping injury, although they had a hair-raising experience. Another auto in the opposite direction crowded the Elliott car against the hill, the car running some ten feet up the hill when the axle locked and the car backed down across the road an dover the embankment, landing on a pile of rocks. The driver of the car responsible for the accident slackened up a moment and then hurried away. City Marshal Myers went to the scene of the accident and was given the number on the car which crowded the Elliott machine. The owner is said to live in Los Angeles. Mrs. F. Hiltscher of Orangethorpe avenue, one of the old-time residents of this section, died suddenly in an automobile near Yellowstone Park Sunday. Accompanied by her sons, Joe and John and their families, Mrs. HilttThe J. I. Case Manufacturing Co. of Racine, Wis., has established a distributing station for Orange county with H. C. Seymour as distributor. The office is at 403 East Center street, Anaheim. The Case factory is said to be the largest thresher and farm machinery plant in the world. It manufactures everything the farmer needs, its bean, grain and rice threshers being famous throughout the world. Yesterday and today the agency was busy giving a demonstration of tractors and other machinery at Downey. Capt. Leon Hatfield arrived Sunday from Camp Hancock, Georgia, to attend the funeral of his brother Floyd, who was killed by cyanide gas while fumigating near Placentia the previous Sunday night. The funeral was held at Fullerton Monday afternoon. State laws now in force provide that commodities of any nature whatsoever, when offered for sale in containers, must be plainly labeled as to the net quantity of the contents, and George McPhee, county sealer, is planning on giving county-wide notification to that effect. Formerly, state laws provided that only foodstuffs and stuffs intended to be used or prepared for use as food or medicine for human beings, had to be market as to net contents of containers. Recent amendments to the Net Container act, however, provide that all commodities, when offered for sale in containers, must be marked. McPhee is also planning on giving notification of the fact that recent amendments to state laws require articles of food which are packed in liquids, such as brine or other preserving fluids, to be sold as of the actual weight of such foods, exclusive of the City Marshal Myers went to the scene of the accident and was given the number on the car which crowded the Elliott machine. The owner is said to live in Los Angeles. Mrs. F. Hiltscher of Orangethorpe avenue, one of the old-time residents of this section, died suddenly in an automobile near Yellowstone Park Sunday. Accompanied by her sons, Joe and John and their families, Mrs. Hiltscher was enjoying a vacation in the north. She was riding in an auto with her son, John, when stricken. The body was taken to Merced, where it was prepared for burial. The home of Mr. and Mrs. A. A. Mills was the scene of another wedding Saturday evening when their daughter, Miss Erma Mills was married to John L. Davis. Rev. C. H. M. Southerland, pastor of the M. E. church at Santa Monica performed the ceremony in the presence of a number of relatives and intimate friends of the bride and groom. The newlyweds left after the ceremony for a short honeymoon trip. Mr. and Mrs. Davis are both extremely popular members of the younger set. The groom is an employee of the Ford garage, and they will reside here after returning from their wedding tour. Alice Smith did not think it necessary to appear in Department 1 of the Superior court with her attorney in order to get her final decree of divorce from Ross Smith. She submitted the papers, drawn up by Attorney Roger C. Dutton in person and after the usual proceedings, Judge R. Y. Williams granted her the decree. This is one of the few instances in this county where a woman seeking her final papers has come into court without an attorney. Monday is Labor Day, and the Anaheim Merchants Association announces that all business houses in this city will be closed that day. Tuesday, September 9, it is also decreed, shall be a general holiday in this city, owing to the welcome home celebration for the soldier and sailor boys at Orange county park. It will be a holiday in every town in the county, as everybody is expected to visit the park that day. Lester Baken, who has been at the Fullerton hospital suffering from injuries received in an auto accident at Placentia last Thursday, is improving at last reports. Four Anaheim boys were in the auto when it collided with a car driven by Mrs. Shaw. The young men were Baker, Frank Ranken, Earl Skinner and Dell Palmer. All of them were injured. Mrs. Shaw was seriously injured, receiving internal injuries besides a broken shoulder. She was taken to a friend's home and later removed to her home at the Marwood apartments in an ambulance. Baker's skull was fractured and his collar bone broken. It is reported Baker will bring suit for damages against Mrs. Shaw. Holding the evidence as insufficient, Jude dismissed the case trada, T. H.

There are a large number of Badgers in and around Anaheim, and many of them expect to attend. Fullerton will soon have another modern business block. Adam Branle has just purchased the two 25-foot lots adjoining his lodging huse on South Spadra avenue from Alex Henderson for $600. Branle will erect on the two lots just purchased and on his other lot a modern building of two or three stories. There will be a basement with a frontage of 75 feet by 100 feet in depth, which will be used by Branle as a billiard and pool room. The upper stories will be made into up-to-date apartments. Branle recently sold his pool room building on West Commonwealth avenue for $16,000 to Otto Miller, who will turn it into a large garage. A petition for probating the will of Josephine Weisel, who died at Anaheim in July is on file in the office of the county clerk. The petitioners are Peter J. Weisel and Hans V. Weisel. The petition sets forth that an estate valued at $30,000 was left by the deceased, consisting of property at Anaheim, and at Santa Fe Springs and Bairdstown, Los Angeles county. Charged with the embezzlement of $300, J. J. Stein, formerly of Richfield, had his preliminary hearing Tuesday afternoon. The complaint against Stein, who was arrested recently in Seattle while in possession of an automobile he is alleged to have bought with the $300 as part payment, sets forth that he was the agent of G. A. Waterman, of Hollywood, the complaining witness. The alleged embezzlement is stated to have been committed at Richfield. In addition to the complainant, William Brant of Richfield and N. M. Durkee of Anaheim were witnesses for the prosecution. Buena Park Masons have begun work on a beautiful new temple for the lodge in that town. The corner store of the building will be laid Saturday with appropriate ceremonies. Orders for army food by parcels post have necessarily been delayed by the railroad strike, and no man can predict when the service will again be normal. Charles H. Mann and family are at home again after a two weeks' trip to Yosemite, San Francisco and other points in the north. Eddie Cassidy came in the first of the week, having recently received his discharge from the army. Ed was in the fourth division and went with the army of occupation to the Rhine after the signing of the armistice. Mary Roberts Rinehart, the famous novelist, flew over this section in an airplane Tuesday on a trip from Los Angeles to San Diego.

Bailey came up from Long Beach Sunday afternoon, and is spending the week with relatives. Mrs. S. L. Taylor is visiting with friends in San Francisco, but is expected to return home just as soon as trains are moving again. J. S. Howard and A. W. Wood have returned from a two weeks' sojourn at the hotsprings. Both gentlemen report being greatly benefitted in health Alfred Pellegrin returned last week from Europe where he served in the army during the war. He was on the Rhine with the army of occupation after the signing of the armistice. William Stark has been confined to his home for several days past with an attack of illness. His many friends hope for his speedy recovery. Mrs. Fred Schmidt fell from a step ladder while picking figs some days ago, receiving a serious sprain of one foot besides other slight injuries. Earl Steadman writes from Coblenz that he has had his first swim in the Rhine. The water was cold, he says, but he enjoyed the novelty to the utmost. Earl is with the division of American troops at Coblenz, but he expects to return home before long. Mrs. Delia Smith, who has been living with a daughter at San Antonio, Texas for a year or more, returned A petition for probating the will of Josephine Weisel, who died at Anaheim in July is on file in the office of the county clerk. The petitioners are Peter J. Weisel and Hans V. Weisel. The petition sets forth that an estate valued at $30,000 was left by the deceased, consisting of property at Anaheim, and at Santa Fe Springs and Bairdstown, Los Angeles county. The legatees named in the will, as shown in the petition, are Adele Amelia Larson, Josephine Krastel, Peter J. Weisel, Flora Ellise Hiltscher, Elisa Helena Schellens, Hedwig Helena Houck, Hans V. Weisel, Margaret Apolonia Syer, and Frederick H. Weisel. Directors of the company and drillers of the Heffern well are becoming more convinced every day that the well will prove to be a good one. It is now 2800 feet deep and has already demonstrated that it will be a producer, but the drillers are going deeper. They want to see it spout and spray the surrounding territory. Good money is being offered for leases in the neighborhood, it is reported. George Bauer sold his ranch on East Center street this week to J. B. Mulvey, the consideration being $20,000. The ranch consists of seven acres of oranges and three acres of lemons. Mr. Mulvey already owned a ranch at West Anaheim, consequently he is now both a Westsider and an Eastsider. Mr. Bauer will spend some time at Newport Beach looking after his property interests at the harbor city. Marcus Andrade is taking a two weeks' rest from his labors as a policeman. He left Friday for Elizabeth Lake, where he will spend several days visiting his aged father, but expects to see some of the beach sites before going on duty again. Holding the evidence in the case as insufficient, Justice Cox Tuesday dismissed the case against Lucius Estrada, T. H. Torres, and Anacleto Chalres, who charged with kidnapping Petra Carrillo at Anaheim. A note written by the girl to Estrada was read at the preliminary hearing of the three men. In it she told Estrada that she was ready to elope with him, and specified the time she would meet him. Eddie Cassidy came in the first of the week, having recently received his discharge from the army. Ed was in the fourth division and went with the army of occupation to the Rhine after the signing of the armistice. Mary Roberts Rinehart, the famous novelist, flew over this section in an airplane Tuesday on a trip from Los Angeles to San Diego. She took with her a pad of paper, a pencil and a small desk with the intention of writing a description of the scenery en route, but found at the end of her journey that her notes were extremely brief. EEL WAS SAVAGE This is a right slippery story. It's about an eel—a big fellow who lived at Laguna Beach and who stood on its "hind legs" and tried to bite off the end of Fred Blauer's thumb. Blauer says it was the first time he ever saw an eil walk. As Blauer's party walked along the beach Sunday, a small eel was seen and one of the ladies expressed a wish to get it, as it is a great table delicacy for some people. The little fellow was obtained but later, when all were seated in a cove, a great big eel was seen in the water and Blauer ran out to capture it, kicking the slimy sea creature onto the sand. Suddenly the eel rose up on its tail in its anger and grabbed the grocery-man's thumb, slitting the nail and badly lacerating the member. The party did not care to eat any of the eel after it acted so mean so they stoned it to death. The lady with the small eel threw it back into the water, saying she didn't "want any of the ornery thing." While Blauer suffered considerable pain on Sunday, he does not expect any serious results.—Register. SUIT TO RECOVER With F. C. Drumm of Orange as his attorney, H. O. Luchan has brought an action against J. H. Buhrman, J. W. Walls, and several John Doe defendants, to recover on a promissory note. In the complaint on file, it is alleged that in July, 1917, Luchan and Buhrman made a promissory note for $1500 to P. A. Lycan, from whom they bought six acres of land. To secure the note, the complaint says, a deed of trust was executed conveying the foot besides other slighht injuries. Earl Steadman writes from Coblenz that he has had his first swim in the Rhine. The water was cold, he says, but he enjoyed the novelty to the utmost. Earl is with the division of American troops at Coblenz, but he expects to return home before long. Mrs. Delia Smith, who has been living with a daughter at San Antonio, Texas, for a year or more, returned Monday. She was marooned at Los Angeles by the strike, but the railroad company sent her down in an auto. Mr. and Mrs. Harry Crist and little daughter, Harriet, of Escondido, and Mr. Crist's sister, Mrs. H. W. Cleave of Los Angeles, passed through town last Wednesday evening on their way to Sierra Madre, where they expect to stay for several weeks and try their luck at trout fishing. After an absence of three months during which time they visited most of the big cities in the middle west and east, Mr. and Mrs. Godfrey Stock returned home Friday. They first visited at the home of Mr. Stock's brother in Michigan. They found him very ill suffering from paralysis. He is still living but in a helpless state. After leaving Michigan they stopped at Toledo, Cleveland, Niagara Falls, Pittsburgh, New York, Baltimore and Washington. On the return trip they stopped at Chicago, and from there went down to New Orleans, coming home through Texas. On arrival at Los Angeles they were forced to take a bus home, owing to the train tie-up. Wm. K. Humbert of Phoenix, Ariz., whose family is spending the summer at Long Beach, came over last week to spend several days with his mother wife and baby. He experienced the novelty of flying in an aeroplane while at the beach, and ascended to an altitude of 2700 feet. He was up in the air ten minutes and the trip cost him a dollar a minute. On Sunday he went to Los Angeles expecting to take the train for Arizona, but on account of the railroad strike was unable to get away, and he returned to the beach. If the strike continues he thinks he may make the trip by aeroplane, for there are many things on his ranch demanding his immediate attention. Ben Yorba was in town Tuesday Holding the evidence in the case as insufficient, Justice Cox Tuesday dismissed the case against Lucius Estrada, T. H. Torres, and Anacleto Chalres, who charged with kidnapping Petra Carrillo at Anaheim. A note written by the girl to Estrada was read at the preliminary hearing of the three men. In it she told Estrada that she was ready to elope with him, and specified the time she would meet him. Thirty new members have been added to the board of trade since the campaign for membership opened a couple of weeks ago. This is good work, but the membership roll should include every enterprising citizen of the city. Have you bought a button? Pungle up a dollar and thus let the boys in khakji and blue know that you appreciate what the boys did in going to war to protect you while you remained at home and made money. Jim McAulay, who is employed at the Placentia packing house, says many cars loaded with oranges, ready for shipment, have been run into the cold storage plant at Pomona. Wherever possible cars laden with fruit have been iceed. Growers who have oranges on the trees, which are ready for picking, will suffer a loss owing to strike conditions.

Luchan has brought an action against J. H. Buhrman, J. W. Walls, and several John Doe defendants, to recover on a promissory note. In the complaint on file, it is alleged that in July, 1917, Luchan and Buhrman made a promissory note for $1500 to P. A. Lycan, from whom they sought six acres of land. To secure the note, the complaint says, a deed of trust was executed, conveying the property, and while the deed or trust was in force Buhrman suffered an execution to be issued on a judgment against him and that under this execution all of his interest in the property, subject to the trust deed, was sold at a sheriff's sale to J. W. Walls. The complaint alleges that Walls had knowledge of the trust deed at the time. The note became due on July 15, 1919, it is alleged and the defendants failed to pay anything on it. Luchau alleges that he was compelled to pay the whole amount to protect his interest in the property from foreclosure proceedings. Luchau further states that on December 26, 1917, Buhrman have a promissory note for $1500 to the Placentia National Bank, giving, to secure the note, a mortgage on a half interest on the property. Luchau asks $1500 as judgment against Buhrman and $830.77 paid by Luchau to satisfy the lien of the trust deed.

Inquire at 523 W. South street, J Claes. Ben Yorba was in town Tuesday afternoon and informed us that he has leased 50 acres of his home ranch at Peralta to a large oil company. Drilling operations are to begin as soon as possible. Mr. Yorba holds several valuable leases in the vicinity of the famous Chapman well and looks for more strikes in that neighborhood. He believes the Heffron well will prove to be one of the best wells now drilling in the section recently opened up. Mr. Yorba says he has several oil men call on him almost every day, each being desirous of taking further leases on his property. There are several hundred acres in the rancho, but he does not intend to make any more leases until a later date, and perhaps not then. The oil fever seems to have taken a firm grip on the people hereabouts and everybody feels confident some big wells will be brought in. Mrs. Laura Resh is moving old cement building on East Center street, formerly occupied by the Orange County Dye Works to a lot in the south part of town, and a new garage building will be erected on the site.

MINIMUM WAGE LOW IS NOW IN EFFECT Act Regulating Wages of Women and Children in Force. Minimum wages for women and minors employed in factories and in fresh and dried fruit packing establishments recently ordered by the Industrial Welfare Commission became effective throughout California Tuesday. These provide 13.50 per week as the minimum wage for experienced women and experienced minors in these industries. The new law will call for a few changes in packing houses in Orange county. All of the packing houses, so far as could be learned, are already paying wages that meet the minimum and have been all summer. All of the packing houses are keeping close tab on the ages of minors who are employed by them. Minors under 16 years of age cannot be employed on inside work, and those under age cannot be employed over eight hours a day. On the sorting tables the wage scales of the citrus packing houses for women vary, according to the skill and experience of the workers, but raises will not have to be made in order to who have already performed a full day's work within the factory. Women in fruit packing establishments are deemed experienced when they have worked two weeks, during which apprenticeship $10 per week is the minimum. Piecework rates may be fixed by the individual establishments providing these earn experienced women at least twenty-eight cents an hour. In the dried fruit industry, women may not work more than eight hours a day nor more than 48 hours in a week, nor over six days a week. In emergencies in fresh fruit packing, women may be employed in excess of these hours if they are paid thirty-five cents an hour for the first four hours and a minimum of 50 cents an hour after the twelfth hour. AUTO ACCIDENT As H. O. Henderson was turning to drive into his ranch home south of the city on Tuesday at noon, his car was run into by a rapidly running Anderson truck from Santa Ana, and his machine was badly wrecked. Perceiving the on-coming truck a short distance away, and fearing it would collide with him, he brought his car to a stop, and the driver of the truck turned toward the orchard to avoid All of the packing houses are keeping close tab on the ages of minors who are employed by them. Minors under 16 years of age cannot be employed on inside work, and those under age cannot be employed over eight hours a day. On the sorting tables the wage scales of the citrus packing houses for women vary, according to the skill and experience of the workers, but raises will not have to be made in order to meet the wage scale set by the state commission. "If the packing houses were not paying better than the minimum named by the state they would not be able to keep their women," said a citrus man. Orange packers are paid five cents a box, and it is anoorpackerwho cannot pack over six boxes a day. C. C. Collins Company, where much of the dried apricots of this section are packed, opened the season with wages that meet the minimum set by the new rules, and will not have to make any raises to meet the state minimum. A summary of the new regulations follows: In the manufacturing industry, adult female apprentices will be paid not less than $10 per week for the first three months, nor less than $12 per week for the second three months, and a minimum of $13.50 a week thereafter. Minor apprentices have an apprenticeship of nine months—not under $9 a week or the first three months, $10.50 a week for the second three months, and $12 a week for the third three months. If employers do not provide a full week's employment except during weeks in which certain legal holidays occur, he must pay an increased hourly rate or the weekly minimum wage. Home work cannot be given to women As H. O. Henderson was turning to drive into his ranch home south of the city on Tuesday at noon, his car was run into by a rapidly running Anderson truck from Santa Ana, and his machine was badly wrecked. Perceiving the on-coming truck a short distance away, and fearing it would collide with him, he brought his car to a stop, and the driver of the truck turned toward the orchard to avoid a collision. The truck driver saw another car approaching behind Mr. Henderson's car, and sought to avoid a bad accident by turning off the road. The truck struck Mr. Henderson's car wrecking the front wheels, smashing the fender, windshield and lights. One of the forward wheels of the truck was badly wrenched. Mrs. Henderson was in the car at the time, and she and her husband were quite badly shaken up, but no serious injuries were sustained. Both the car and truck were taken to a garage for repairs.
