OLIVE MILLING COMPANY SELLS ITS PLANT Central Milling Company of Los Angeles is the Purchaser. Friday morning the Central Milling Company of Los Angeles took over the entire plant of the Olive Milling Company of Olive for a very handsome cash value satisfactory to all the parties concerned, and the new owner, with John Gardiner as president, assumed full control. The new corporation will at once build a large four-story addition to accommodate the added machinery and double the present capacity, and thus make it one of the largest institutions in Orange county. A large brick warehouse will be erected to take care of the increased output of flour, with commodious offices in the northeast side, and many other big improvements are in contemplation. The Olive Milling Company, manufacturer of flour and other grain products, was one of the oldest industries in this county, being incorporated in 1887, and grew from a very small affair into one of the most prosperous concerns in this end of the state and would not have sold out but all its directors and officers being men having many private interests that claimed their individual attention, they felt they could no longer serve actively as directors, and when this favorable opportunity presented itself to sell at a good profit, the deal was put through. The property at Olive known as Olive Heights and comprising approximately fifty acres, is retained by the old concern. The pump- ARRANGING FOR HIKE TO SADDLEBACK'S PEAK Orange and Riverside County Men to Climb Mountain Nov. 8 and 9. November 8-9 is the date set for the Santa Ana Chamber of Commerce hike to the Santiago peak atop Old Saddleback. The committee appointed by the Chamber to take the excursion in hand has selected that date in order to make it certain that the Riverside Chamber of Commerce will be in position to organize a party to meet the Orange county contingent at the peak at that time. The party will go to the top by way of a trail starting at Modjeska's. The former pilgrimage of the Chamber of Commerce people was by way of Trabuco. The Modjeska route will give opportunity to observe the mountain from another angle. The trail from Modjeska's is about a mile longer than by way of Trabuco, but the grade is not so steep. The most of it is from 8 to 10 per cent, and joins the Trabuco trail near the top of the mountain. Membership in the Chamber of Commerce is not necessary for one to join in the hike. Anyone in the county who would like to make the trip is invited to do so. Names should be left with Metzgar in order that plans can be made for provisions, etc. The dates are Saturday and Sunday and the party probably will leave Santa Ana about 8 o'clock Saturday morning, although there is some discussion by the committee of making arrangements for assembling at Modjeska's Friday night so as to start on would not have sold out but all its directors and officers being men having many private interests that claimed their individual attention, they felt they could no longer serve actively as directors, and when this favorable opportunity presented itself to sell at a good profit, the deal was put through. The property at Olive known as Olive Heights and comprising approximately fifty acres, is retained by the old concern. The pumping plant which supplies all the domestic water to the thriving community of Olive is also retained. Only recently the directors of the Olive Milling Company entered into a lease with a strong operating oil company to put down a well on the northwest corner of their property. This well will be actually started by the end of this month, and in the event of oil being developed, will make this parcel of real estate very valuable. At the regular board meeting of the Olive Milling Company held last Tuesday it was voted to declare a 50 percent cash dividend of the capital and Secretary Blake will mail checks stock, payable from surplus account, to all shareholders next Saturday on this basis, with a further large distribution of cash as soon as the outstanding accounts are collected, all of which should net the fortunate shareholders a handsome amount over the par value. This added to the 28 dividends paid since the present management assumed control in 1906, and aggregating $65,000, makes a record of which all shareholders should be proud. The new milling company is a strong concern. It has a large mill in Los Angeles. John Gardiner is president of the company; A. Walbridge, secretary, and J. W. A. Off, formerly owner of a walnut grove at San Juan Capistrano, is a director. N. T. Edwards of Orange, who was a director of the Olive Milling Company, enters the Central company as a director. The enlarged mill will become a 250-barrel a day institution. Three shifts will be employed, which will increase the list of employees considerably. GAS AT SEAL BEACH Although not generally known, there is a well just at the edge of Seal Beach city limits that furnishes natural gas for fuel and lighting purposes. The well to which reference is made is at the Joe Simas dairy, at the northeast city limits, a part of the Hellman ranch, and not far distant from where there are platted lots, says the Seal Beach Wave. The well was bored for water but a flow of natural gas was encountered in such quantities that Simas piped it to his house and to the barn, using it for both fuel and lighting purposes. It has recently been learned that the men who drilled the well say there is every indication that oil will be found at a greater depth, and possibly natural gas in sufficient quantities for commercial purposes. A few years ago a well for water was drilled at Anaheim Landing, and there also was found quite a flow of natural gas, besides many very favorable indications of oil. It is quite probable that there is a stratum of oil undelying this entire section, and that we may yet see oil derricks in operation right here in the city of Seal Beach. Severl noted oil experts have recently expressed an opinion that oil will be found here, and it is known that representatives of some of the big oil companies are making a quiet investigation. It is practically assured that a thorough investigation will be made of the entire coast section of Orange county to ascertain if there are oil bearing lands. —A man who lives in town in South his ranch, and ticket for Anaheim to live right for He's a wise hiker. —A man who lives in Garden Groves with his few days ago conversation with what time it's awful doors and windows into town it calls our machine through the main right of us, it's believe me it's hold your breath and if you don't what in heck a ride. —With shaves class, cootie gag frequently.

COUNTY'S CHURCH MEMBERSHIP The percentage of church membership in Orange county is higher than in any other county in California, according to E. G. Talbot, state director of survey for the Interchurch World Movement, in a letter written to Rev. W. G. Kitzmiller of Orange. The letter was written in reply to Mr. Kitzmiller's resignation from the work in this county, which he submitted because unable to handle the Interchurch Movement in addition to his Sunday school work. The letter says in part: I am writing at this time to tell you how much we appreciate the good work you have done in connection with the Survey. Also Dr. Pinkerton has spoken to me of the fine work you have done. Although your time will be so well taken up the rest of this month, please give every assistance you can, however, to Chaplain Torrance in the completion of the Survey. In many respects Orange county will make one of the best impressions as a Survey county of any county in the whole United States. Your percentage of church membership is very much higher than in any other county in California. Anaheim Gazette, per year, $1.50, payable in advance. NEW SCHOOL AT OLIVE The new school at Olive was opened Monday. It is not entirely completed but, owing to the shortage of men on the building, the children of Olive have been kept waiting longer than was planned before taking up their duties in the new building. It is possible at the present time to provide the necessary accommodations for the children and arrangements will be made to give the full course of study even though the school opens later. Comfort and beauty have been the governing factors throughout the work of planning and building the school which is of the mission style made of tiling. There are at present four rooms, a room for the teachers and a library. The grounds will be set out to trees, lawn and flowers grouped to make an effective setting for the building. One of the most modern and best heating systems, the Bremerton, has been installed in the school at an expense of about $2000. The building itself will cost approximately $16,000 when completed. D. J. Watson, aged 72, a pioneer of this county, died at Olive Saturday. He came to this county fifty years ago. Oh, excuse me its destination life and with that I make the ticket agent's O.

WILL CLAIM DAMAGES FOR AUTO ACCIDENT Motion Picture Man in Collision Near Katella Will be Sued. That George Chesbro, motion picture actor of Los Angeles, who pleaded guilty in justice court last Thursday to a charge of recklessly driving an automobile and who paid a $100 fine, is to be made defendent in one, and possibly two, civil actions for damages in connection with the recent automobile accident near the county hospital in which Mr. and Mrs. A. C. Bowers, Mr. and Mrs. Elmer Bowers and rMs. Belle Buck, sister of Mrs. Bowers, Sr., were injured, it was learned. Elmer Bowers, who swore to the complaint against Chesbro in the justice court, stated unqualifiedly that MORE POWERFUL FUEL FOR AUTOMOBILES Gasoline with an Increased Kick in It Being Manufactured. Automobile manufacturers are looking toward the adjustment of their engines to the less volatile but more powerful gasoline now being supplied by petroleum refiners. Refiners, in order to meet the increasing demands upon petroleum stocks, have cut deeper into the crude oil and are producing a fuel considerably more powerful than that of former years. The problem of engine adaptation to the supply of petroleum and its refined parts is one expected to come before the statistical research bureau which the American Petroleum Institute, with headquarters in New York, intends to establish. In this institute producers, refiners and consumers of oil may join in co-ordinating their efforts for the improvements of the industry. Dr. Van H. Manning, director of the United States Bureau of Mines, is also chairman of the Improvements committee of the institute. He has recommended to the institute directorate that the new bureau be established with an appropriation of $1,000,000 a year to be raised on a production basis from refiners and producers. A special committee to consider this recommendation has been appointed by President Thomas A. O'Donnell. A favorable report on the Manning proposal is expected by individual members of the institute.

He's a wise hombre. A man who owns a small ranch on the Garden Grove road where he resides with his family was in town a few days ago and in the course of conversation with a group of friends was heard to say: "Yes, in the night time it's awful—we have to close the doors and windows, and when we drive into town it comes up in waves and our machine cuts a wide swarth right through the middle of it. It's to the right of us, it's to the left of us, and believe me it's all around us. If you hold your breath you can't breathe, and if you don't you get sick, and so what in heck are we going to do?"

For the good of the order why wouldn't it be a good idea to have a house party and ask some of the outsiders if they wouldn't like to be insiders. Among the riff-raff picked up Saturday night by the police was a man accused of being drunk. Now, where did he get it? When a pretty and vivacious young lady the other day stepped from one stage to another at a way station, where passengers were being transferred, the bone-headed driver got hold of her ticket, which called for a return ride to Los Angeles, and which the fair one intended to use to get home on when she reched this city; and while the rattled stage pilot was punching the pasteboard out of commission before sticking it into his pocket, the demure damsel excitedly called to him: "Say, that's my return ticket to Los Angeles—don't punch it. I'll have to buy another if you do," and it looked as though the fair one was just about and possibly two civil actions for damages in connection with the recent automobile accident near the county hospital in which Mr. and Mrs. A. C. Bowers, Mr. and Mrs. Elmer Bowers and rMs. Belle Buck, sister of Mrs. Bowers, Sr., were injured, it was learned. Elmer Bowers, who swore to the complaint against Chesbro in the justice court, stated unqualifiedly that suit against the motion picture man would be instituted. The Bowers automobile was insured with the Automobile Club of Orange County and the Bowers claim against Chesbro will probably be transferred to the club in an action which it is said will be begun to recover the costs of repairing the Bowers machine. Stanley M. Rheinhaus, attorney for the automobile club, stated that he was waiting for instructions in regard to the matter. It is believed that possibly efforts are being made to reach an adjustment with Chesebro without recourse to litigation. Asked for information regarding the action that will be instituted against Chesebro for damages for personal injuries to the Bowers family, Elmer Bowers said that the matter was in the hands of his attorney, H. C. Head. When the complaint against Chesebro in the civil action is drawn up, the actor will be charged with careless and reckless driving, according to Attorney Head. At the time of the accident, it was reported, the Bowers car was being driven north on the state highway leading to Anaheim. Near Katella sub-station a car approached from the north and the machines were about to pass. Chesebro, it is alleged, was going south at a rapid rate of speed in rear of the approaching car, and apparently did not see the Bowers machine approaching or else thought to pass between the two cars. Measurements taken after the crash were said to indicate that Chesebro saw the danger of an accident and threw on his brakes, the wheels of his car skidding 285 feet before he struck the Bowers machine. The impact turned the Bowers car upside down at the side of the road with an appropriation of $1,000,000 a year to be raised on a production basis from refiners and producers. A special committee to consider this recommendation has been appointed by President Thomas A. O'Donnell. A favorable report on the Manning proposal is expected by individual members of the institute. The problem of using a less volatile but more powerful gasoline for automobiles is not a new one. According to Henry L. Doherty, charman of a committee of petroleum producers and refiners which is now negotiating with the manufacturers of motors, Doherty's committee and another headed by John N. Willys, of the automobile manufacturers, have had the problem under consideration for some time. Although petroleum producers are bending every possible effort toward increased production they have thus far been unable to adequately cope with the enormous increase in the demand for petroleum products, especially gasoline. Refiners, however, have advanced the only practical solution to the threatened shortage by cutting deeper into the crude oil and extracting a greater volume of gasoline which is less volatile but more powerful. In this way it is hoped the supply of this fuel can in some measure keep pace with the demand. It is significant to note the spirit of co-operation between petroleum producers, refiners, and automobile engineers. A satisfactory solution of the future of the gasoline problem is expected and one which will not cause automobile owners to suffer serious loss in the adaptation of their engines to the more powerful fuel.

I'll have to buy another if you do," and it looked as though the fair one was just about ready to stick a hepin into the man. "Oh, excuse me—I did not notice its destination line—Oh pardon me," and with that the driver proceeded to make the ticket good by getting the agent's O. K. upon its back. "The sum of money I dug up for that ticket looks as good to me as it does to the company," ventured the young lady to a fellow passenger as she settled back in her seat. "And just now when things are high and it's hard to put on the feed bag properly when mealtime rolls around," further averred the cute little girlie, as she cast a knowing wink and a winning smile at those who were interested in rubbering around. The jit bus pulled out and every now and then the fussed driver would look back at his fair passenger and throw his gear into high whenever the roadway showed a clear track.

Townsend ranch, one and a half miles north of Garden Grove, Bernardo Castillo, Manuel Iglesias, Feliz Ybarra, Marcello Guerro, A. Salizar, Ramon Dedanda, Defino Jiminez, Ignacio Luque and John Doe Saballa were in justice court Monday charged with gambling. The raid was conducted by Sheriff C. E. Jackson, Under Sheriff Iman and Deputies Eels and Holbrook. Twenty-seven dollars in silver and currency, a quantity of poker chips and several decks of cards were confiscated by the officers. The alleged gamblers were playing in a tent which, according to Sheriff Jackson, had been set apart by employees on the Townsend walnut ranch, for gambling purposes. The officers swooped on to the game in a sudden rush. The players scattered rapidly, in an endeavor to dive under the side walls of the ten. Two of the alleged gamesters succeeded in getting away. When the arraignment began a check showed that Ybarra, Guerra and Salazar were absent. The rest pleaded not guilty and the date of their trial was set for October 24, at 10 o'clock. Monday afternoon Jimminez appeared before Justice Cox and chged his plea from not guilty to guilty. The court imposed a fine of $10, which was paid. The remainder of the defendants are out on $10 bail each. Jiminez, Dedande, and Luque spent a night in the county jail, having been unable to secure bail until Tuesday morning.

Dancing Free BELLED A COYOTE POINDEXTER HAS BUDGET PLAN Straping a bell around the neck of a wild coyote is the scheme devised by Joe Salee of San Jacinto to protect his chickens. It has proved a complete success, he says. Many of Mr. Sallee's choicest hens have fallen victims to the band and coyotes which infests the hills near San Jacinto. Traps, fences, and other devices failed to keep off the marauders. In desperation he finally hit upon the bell system. A week ago he set a trap and the next morning found a mammoth coyote securely fastened, but uninjured. A large clear toned bell was then strapped on the creature's nect by Sallee and it was released. Since then no poultry has been eaten by the coyotes when in the stillness of the night the Sallee family hear the clanging of a bell they at once turn out with clubs and shotguns to meet the plunderers. F. W. Waite who owns a walnut grove on North Olive street this week harvested a ton of nuts off of 26 trees. A national budget plan which would retain in Congress the control of appropriations and expenditures has been proposed by Senator Miles Poindexter in a Joint Resolution recently introduced. His resolution provides for a joint committee composed of three Senators and three Representatives who shall meet before or immediately upon the convening of a session of Congress, examine into prospective revenues, estimate the same and report to Congress. The committee shall further prepare a program of allotment of the available moneys among the various departments and governmental activities in accordance with the needs of each. The committee would not specify the purposes for which the money should be used, this being left to the usual appropriation committees. The joint budget committee would merely determine the total amount of revenue available and report an apportionment of that amount among the various governmental undertakings, so that the total appropriations will not exceed the total revenue.
