ROAD SHOOTING LAW IS BEING TESTED INDEPENDENT SPORTSMEN AND GUN CLUB MEMBERS ARE FIGHTING IN THE COURTS Walter Heitsheusen Arrested Under Provisions of the New Law and Case is Carried Up to Higher Court.—Anaheim Hunters Paying the Costs. Ownership of the wild duck when he is flying across the highway from one preserve to another is a disputed question that has caused a war between the gun clubs and the detached or free lance sportsmen of Orange county and the matter will be fought out in the courts. It has been the case was taken into Superior Court Monday. Declaring that the section of the new motor vehicle law prohibiting road shooting is not germane to the motor vehicle act, and that it was slipped into the law, Attorney Walter Eden made a strong plea for the issuance of a writ of habeas corpus in the case of the people vs. Heitshusen. He declared that it was unconstitutional because it is not germane to the regulation of automobiles and automobile traffic, and as evidence supporting his contention that the paragraph was smuggled into the act pointed to the fact that it is not mentioned in the title of the act. Hearing on the application for the writ was before Judge Williams. Hunters all over Southern California are watching the proceedings in this case with a great deal of interest, for it is a test of the legality of provisions against shooting on public highways.

Ownership of the wild duck when he is flying across the highway from one preserve to another is a disputed question that has caused a war between the gun clubs and the detached or free lance sportsmen of Orange county and the matter will be fought out in the courts. It has been the custom hitherto for large numbers of hunters, during the open season, to station themselves along the highways near the happy huntings grounds and shoot the birds as they flew across the road in an attempt to escape their plutocratic enemies, who were slaughtering them within the sacred precincts of the gun club boundaries. Hundreds of ducks were annually killed in this way, and the wrath of the gun club members was kindled against the free lance hunters. They attempted to get a provision through 'be legislature attached to the new game law, prohibiting road hunting, but Assemblyman Walter Eden fought it and defeated it. Then a sentence prohibiting shooting on the public highway was surrepticiously pinned as a rider to the voluminous motor vehicle act, and it slipped through and became a law. The hundreds of sportsmen in Orange county who do not belong to a millionaire's club, resented the enactment of this law and immediately took steps to test it in the courts. Anaheim sportsmen subscribed a purse sufficiently large to pay the court costs, and arranged their plans. The large army of hunters who are always on hand near the gun club property on the first day of the season, discreetly remained at home, as it was well-known that Sheriff Jackson had a force of deputies on the ground to arrest all violators of the law. As a man the sheriff may not be in sympathy with the law, but as an officer it is his duty to enforce it, and he proposed to do his duty. As it was necessary to have a goat in order to make a test of the law Walter Heitsheusen volunteered to be that animal. Bright and early Thursday morning he motored down toward the beach, the neighborhood most watching the proceedings in this case with a great deal of interest, for it is a test of the legality of provisions against shooting on public highways. HOTEL VALENCIA SOLD TO MEN FROM THE NORTH Mrs. Ziegler Retires from the Management November 1. The Hotel Valencia is changing hands. After many years in the business, Mrs. Mary Ziegler has disposed of the furniture and fixtures of the hotel and will retire from its management the first of November. The new owners are J. H. Clark of Boyes' Springs, Sonoma county, and H. Simmons of San Francisco, and it is understood Mrs. Ziegler has given them a long lease on the building with an option to purchase it. The room formerly occupied by the Valencia bar is being fitted up for a cafeteria, which will also open for business when the new proprietors take charge of the hotel. The new proprietors are both men of large experience in their lines of work. Mr. Clark has had cahrge of a large hotel at the popular Sonoma county Springs, and Mr. Simmons has long been in the cafe business in San Francisco. Mr. Simmons will have charge of the cafeteria while Mr. Clark will manage the hotel. The soft drink emporium opened last January in the barroom, but which closed its doors within a few months., is again open, and in charge of Elmer Owens, formerly of Boyes' Springs. Mr. Clark passed through Anaheim about a month ago on his way to San Diego. He was attracted by the prosperous appearance of the city, and that this was a good place to live. He began negotiating for the Valencia, and finally succeeded in making a deal. LYCEUM COURSE BEGINS MONDAY, OCTOBER 27 Miss Marie Tiffany, Grand Opera Singer, is the First Number.

BOB MILLS PURCHASES HUENEMEYER RESTAURANT Favorite Cafe on North Los Angeles Street Under New Management. Bob Mills has returned to Anaheim after several years residence at Seal Beach, and is again identifying himself with the business interests of this city. Last week he purchased the Huenemeyer restaurant on North Los Angeles street, and after closing the place for a few days while repairs and improvements were being made, reopened it under the name of the Mills Cafe. Bob has engaged in various pursuits since he left here, growing oysters being one of them, but one of the things he knows how to do exceedingly well is to cook.

The census will be under the supervision of the trustees of the school districts of the county. Preliminary to the work of enumeration, which is to be made during the moth of November, County Superintendent Mitchell has mailed printed instructions to the various baords of trustees of the county's school districts, each board having charge of the work in its district. Under the law, all boys born on or after November 1, 1898, and all girls born on or after November 1, 1901, must be registered. It is expected that the November registration will be as complete and comprehensive as the United States census which is soon to be taken. Registrars of minors will be appointed by the board of school trustees in each district in the county. Blank notices of appointment are being mailed by Superintendent Mitchell. These will be filled out by the clerk of the particular school district in each case, and by the persons accepting appointments as registrars, and will then be returned to Superintendent Mitchell. Under the law the pay allowed shall not exceed four dollars a day for each registrar and each assistant for the time necessary to do the work. In accepting appointments, registrars must qualify and take an oath of office. There is a section in the statute which provides for the appointment and payment of registrar and assistants in case the school board fails to do so. The registrar must visit every residence in the school district during November, 1919, and make a complete registration of all minor residing in the district November 1, 1919. Following is an excerpt from the law showing the method of procedure for registrars: "Such registration shall show the name and residence of each head of a family in the school district, the name of all minor children in each Huenemeyer restaurant on North Los Angeles street, and after closing the place for a few days while repairs and improvements were being made, reopened it under the name of the Mills Cafe. Bob has engaged in various pursuits since he left here, growing oysters being one of them, but one of the things he knows how to do exceedingly well is to cook. He will have personal charge of the kitchen at the Mills Cafe, and expects to see to it that his customers are served with savory dishes expertly cooked. The Huenemeyer restaurant has always enjoyed a good patronage, and under the new management this will probably be extended. Bob's numerous Anaheim friends welcome him back, and wish the Mills Cafe unlimited success." WATER BOARD PROCEEDINGS The board of directors of the Anaheim Union Water Company met Saturday afternoon and transacted business as follows: The Superintendent gave a report on the work at the head gate and at the pumping plants. County Surveyor gave a report on his survey of the Yorba reservoir. The oil production reports from the Amalgamated and St. Helens Petroleum Companies were read and ordered filed. On motion by Dwyer seconded by Thamer the request of a right-of-way by the Standard Oil Company, through the Gomber tract was left to Director McFadden. On motion duly seconded the following transfers of stock were granted: 2 shares from V. A. Porter to H. W. Daniels; 13½ shares from Emelie Holve to Wm. Holve; 15 shares from J. J. Schneider to W. C. Hamilton. On motion by Beazley seconded by Miller the following resolution was made and carried: "Resolved that the President and Secretary be authorized to borrow sufficient money from time to time to meet the demands of the company." On motion by Dwyer seconded by Miller, C. K. B. Aumock was allowed to purchase five dollars off the amount he During the week of November 2 to 11 there will be a drive or roll call for the purpose of maintaining and adding to the membership of the Anaheim Red Cross. H. H. Benjamin is chairman of the roll call committee. Teams will be appointed and territory divided, consequently the city nd surrounding country will be thoroughly worked. Every person will be asked to Join, and it is hoped that few will refuse. The membership of the Anaheim chapter is not as large as it should be, many neighboring communities showing a larger percentage of membership in comparison with the population. This should not be permitted. When the first steps were taken to organize the American Red Cross on a large scale at the beginning of the war it was then announced that the organization should be permanent and not merely for the duration of the war. The society carries on its humanitarian work in peace time as well as war time, and it is claimed that the membership fees collected, provided the membership is kept up, will be sufficient to finance its work in the future. The annual meeting of the Anaheim chapter was held at the board of trade rooms Thursday evening, at which time new officers and directors were elected for the coming year. Five new directors were elected for three year term, the election being by ballot. Ten candidates were put in nomination and voted for, the tally sheet showing the election of Mrs. V. D. Lolly, Mrs. H. M. Adams, Mrs. E. H. Boyd, Mrs. R. L. Coons and H. A. Dickel. At the close of the meeting the directors met and elected the following officers: President, W. T. Wallop; vice-president, Mrs. R. R. Coons; secretary, Mrs. E. H. Boyd; treasurer, A. B. McCord. The secretary's report for the past year shows receipts during the year aggregated $17,796.71, and expenses totalled $16,182.52, leaving a balance in the treasury of $1614.19.

Following is an excerpt from the law showing the method of procedure for registrars: "Such registration shall show the name and residence of each head of a family in the school district, the name of all minor children in each family; the nativity, sex, race, date of birth of each minor child, the school attended by each minor child if he is attending school, the grade in which he is placed in school, the occupation of each minor child if he is employed in a gainful occupation and the name and address of the employer." "Minors who are absent attending institutions of learning shall be registered in the districts where their parents or guardians reside." "Orphans, half-orphans and children living in orphanages shall be registered in the district in which the orphanage is situated. In place of the name of head of family the registrar must enter the name of the orphanage. Minors under guardianship shall be registered in the district in which the guardian resides." The law provides for a complete report to be filed on or before January 1, 1920, with the county superintendent of schools and a copy with the clerk of the board. A report must be made by the county superintendent of schools to the state superintendent of public instruction on or before March 1, 1920. The expenses for making the registration are to be paid out of the county or special fund of the school Holve to Wm. Holve; 15 shares from J. J. Schneider to W. C. Hamilton. On motion by Beazley seconded by Miller, C. K. B. Aumock was allowed twenty-five dollars off the amount he had subscribed for, for the pipe line in front of his place on the Garden Grove road. On motion by Dwyer seconded by Miller the superintendent was instructed to inspect the open ditch in front of Mr. Beazley's house, make necessary improvements, Mr. Beazley to pay half the expense. The board decided on Friday, Oct. 24th as the day for the inspection trip up the river, the Superintendent to make the necessary arrangements. On motion by Beazley seconded by Miller the Superintendent was instructed to erect a warehouse at No. 2 pumping plant, as per specifications. On motion by Dwyer seconded by Beazley, a house was ordered to be built at the Yorba reservoir, specifications, construction, etc., left to the Superintendent and Director Miller. On motion by Dwyer seconded by Miller, the Superintendent was instructed to purchase a new concrete mixer. The Placentia cannery is running full time, with plenty of tomatoes of fine quality. Everthing is running as smoothly as one could wish, though a few more peelers could be used to good advantage.

In less than two days after the new walnut prices were named, eastern buyers had sent wires into the association's office in Los Angeles for more walnuts than the association had estimated that it could deliver this year. The association expects to handle not less than 46,000,000 pounds of walnuts this year. The association managers have had to decline orders for ninety-three carloads of walnuts, aggregating 40,000 bags weighing 100 pounds each. There is the possibility that the estimates of the size of the crop are under what the tonnage will turn out to be. If that should be true this year, the association has on hand orders to cover all possible tonnage over the estimated output. The report of the situation as given by the association office is good news to Orange county walnuts growers, for it means that association members are going to get their money early in the season. It is believed now that this year the association will wind up the season's business earlier than ever before. C.

It is believed now that this year the association will wind up the season's business earlier than ever before. C. Thorpe, general manager of the association, says the present favorable condition of business is due largely to the tremendous demand for California walnuts. He expressed the belief that the heavy demand for association products this year is largely a result of the high standard which has been set in past years. The California walnut crop, worth from $13,000,000 to $15,000,000, is being snapped up, despite heavier importations from Europe than have arrived since 1915. Mr. Thorpe accounts for this by the statement that California walnuts are a much better buy at prevailing prices than imported walnuts. The harvest of this year's crop is proceeding with remarkable speed. Copious showers during the last few days of September loosened the walnuts and caused them to begin falling rapidly. Ranchers appear to be able to get plenty of help, and the walnuts are rolling into twenty-six association packing houses so rapidly as to almost swamp them. It is the belief of Thorpe that approximately 85 percent of the crop can be included in the first pool, which closes November 15. CLAIMS HIS BRIDE AFTER RECEIVING HIS DISCHARGE Lou Winney and Miss Mabel Walberg Married Early Monday Morning. At the parish house of St. Boniface's church, at 8 o'clock Monday morning Miss Mabel Walberg was united in marriage to Arthur Lou Winney, Rev. Father Browne performing the ceremony. The wedding was solemnized following early mass at the church. Only a few intimate friends witnessed the ceremony. Miss Edna Walberg, sister of the bride, acted as bridesmaid, and Abe Winney was the groom's best man. After the ceremony the party During these days of conservation of water and flood control it might be well for people of this city and contiguous territory to the north and west to look to their laurels and provide for themselves the security that would afford this section protection against any damage that might occur through the prank of the erratic Santa Ana river during excessive rainfall. Just now the cities of Orange and Santa Ana are giving consideration to the building of a new bridge to span the river at a point between the Olive and Yorba bridges, to connect with a paved boulevard they have in contemplation leading into their section, the object being primarily to divert the tempting trade of the famed oil fields. The construction of this new bridge, while it would no doubt be of great convenience to a large number of citizens, would serve to force river flow more to the north bank. Already Olive has strengthened their side of the river bank on the east, and the Garden Grove people have built a substantial levee up to the bend in the river, near the Santa Fe railroad bridge. And right here is where the real danger lies to this city and the territory to the north and west. It has often been pointed out that a wide open stretch of the river bed occurs at this point. It is a menacing feature and one that should cause citizens here to heed at the earliest possible moment. The improvements above mentioned will all tend to throw the flood waters more to the north and the most obtuse mind should be able to grasp the seriousness of the situation. Picture for a moment the Santa Ana river going back to its old original channel which lies just north of this city. Hundreds of acres of fine orchard lands would be in its direct path. The attendant loss by flood waters would run into the hundreds of thousands of dollars. If this act of nature should come to pass this section would have a life sized river on its hands during copious rainfall. It would have a neckhold on the wateryay and would be unable to let loose.

Miss Russmueller is a sister of Mrs. Fritz Kluewer. Accompanied by Mr. and Mrs. Kluewer the young ladies took a trip to Catalina this week. The highest price yet paid for an orange orchard, so far as known, is reported from Whittier. A ten-acre grove in that region sold last week for $60,000, being $6000 per acre. There may be orange groves in this region worth that much money, but no transfers have been made at that figure, so far as we have heard. Attendant loss by flood waters would run into the hundreds of thousands of dollars.

No doubt our friends to the south, while wishing us no harm, would look upon this change of front with great glee. They would thus be relieved from caring for an expensive adjunct which in years past has caused them many sleepless nights. The first wet season that comes may well be looked upon with alarm by citizens here and adjacent sections as there is nothing to stop flood waters from cutting a new channel to the north. It might be well for the Board of Trade to feature this subject at a Thursday luncheon—one of those important gatherings of business men that worked for great good in the past. It is a matter that vitally concerns every owner of land in this section. A small assessment per acre would build a levee at the point designated to connive the river in its present channel. By taking time by the forelock great damage by flooding might be prevented. The highest price yet paid for an orange orchard, so far as known, is reported from Whittier.
