The plant would start with the employment of not less than 125 people, and its product is of such a character as to insure its success from the first. The situation developing through diversion of Orange county natural gas to other sections for consumption is stirring the people of Orange county, and it is very probable that the Associated Chambers of Commerce will be called into special session for discussion of the matter and invetsigation of possible means for protecting the interests of the county. It is conceded that a dependable source of supply of natural gas is a big asset to any community in the attraction of industrial enterprises, and the diversion of the county supply to other sections to help build up those districts is frowned upon by local people. A few evenings ago when Mr. and Mrs. Milton Moore drove up to their home on North Philadelphia street they placed several packages upon the parking before taking them into the house and among them was a pocket book belonging to Mrs. Moore containing $15 in currency and receipts upon which her name appeared. By some mishap the purse was overlooked and was not missed until later in the evening, and after a search the purse was given up for lost. In passing the place about 9 o'clock Manuel Gaxiola had By a decision of the Railroad Commission of the State of California handed down yesterday (December 10th) the Southern California Edison Company was authorized to sell to its employees an additional twenty-five hundred shartes of its common stock of the par value of $250,000. Application for this additional amount was made by the company early this month to meet the continuing demands on the part of employees for additional stock. In August 1917, the Edison Company introduced the practise of selling stock upon installment payments to employees, and to date employees have purchased approximately $3,000,000 par value stock, in this way becoming profit-sharers. Over sixty per cent of the company's employees are now stockholders and based on new applications being received daily, this percentage will be materially increased. Bob McKee was in town a few days ago enquiring of his friends if any could tell him how it feels to be a millionaire, and if the sudden acquisition of great wealth changes a man's disposition. Bob hasn't broken into the millionaire class yet, but he has great expectations. He owns a quarter section of land in the Ozark region of Missouri, and received word last week that oil had been struck near him at a depth of 750 feet, and prognostications are that a great oil field is to be developed. Sixty thousand acres have already been leased and Bob's one hundred and sixty lies directly in the center of the field... We are unable to state from experience what effect the possession of a million has on a man, but according to newspaper reports many who fell into suddenness following their inspection.

By some mishap the purse was overlooked and was not missed until later in the evening, and after a search the purse was given up for lost. In passing the place about 9 o'clock Manuel Gaxiola had picked up the pocketbook as it lay near the curbing. Upon arriving home he opened the purse and learned that it belonged to Mrs. Moore, and bright and early next morning returned the pocketbook and its contents to the owner. Mrs. Moore offered Manuel half of the money for the return of the purse, but he would not accept it. He finally was prevailed upon to accept of a smaller amount as a reward. Manuel is employed at Heying's drug store and is a fine young gentleman. Sam Hill, who established the Hill chain of stores in Orange county, and which were recently taken over by the Federal Grocery Company, is moving his family to Los Angeles.

Frank Osgood, a Standard employe, fell from a derrick in the Whittier oil field Tuesday morning. He was brought to the Anaheim sanitarium but died shortly after his arrival. He leaves a wife, son and daughter. There is a distinct possibility that a battalion of the California National Guard may be organized in this territory, with headquarters in Santa Ana and with the present Company F of Santa Ana as a nucleus. Represented in the battalion, if formed, would be Orange, Anaheim and Fullerton, and possibly Long Beach and Whittier. That such an expansion of the guard system is contemplated in this vicinity was indicated Tuesday by Lieut. Col James S. McKnight, assitsant adjutant general, at a luncheon at the New Santa Ana Hotel tendered him and Major Harold Coburn under auspices o fthe Chamber of Commerce, and following their inspection of the Santa THE ALL-SOUTHERN FOOTBALL TEAM Best Gridiron Men for this Season as Seen by Local Expert. A local football expert, who has witnessed every game of high school football played this year in Southern California, picks the following as an all-star team: L. E. Fithian, H.; L. T. Johnson, Poly.; L. G. Anderson, L. A.; C. Rich, L. B.; R. G. Hufford, M. A.; R. T. Miller, L. B.; R. E. Evans, L. B.; G. J. Hawkins, F.; L. H. Tiernan, L. B.; R. H. A. Hawkins, F.; F. Hall, Citrus. For ends we have Fithian of Hollywood and Evans of Long Beach, probably two of the niftiest and most dependable ends seen in action among the prep ranks this year. They both are adepts at the open play, the style in vogue now. Both are sure men on passes, and Evans would be kick-off man. Our tackles are Johnson of Poly and Miller of Long Beach. These are two really big men both in ability to solve their opponents' plays and in making holes on the offense. They both were the life of their respective lines and would keep our line going at top speed at all times. For guards Anderson of Los Angeles and Hufford of Manual Arts are towers of strength. Both have done their most effective work in charging thru and smearing plays before they are started. In this way they show their superiority as guards. Rich of Long Beach was the best passing center seen in these parts and Personal Mention George Dunton was appointed chairman of the motor car dealers craft at the recent meeting of the California Auto Trades Association at Bakersfield. Mr. and Mrs. John J. Dwyer will leave on Christmas for a trip that will finally land them in Panama. They will make stops at several of the leading eastern cities, and expect to be absent about six weeks. Their many friends hope they have a pleasant voyage and a safe return. John Selinger, well-known Placentia orange grower, could not resist the temptation any longer and so sent in an order for one of the finest cars on the market. John is making so much money raising oranges that he does not know what to do with all of it. Mr. and Mrs. E. H. Adams and their children, Frances and Alva, and Arthur Davis, left yesterday morning for Mariposa county where they will spend the holidays with Dr. and Mrs. Paschall. Emil Fossek, son of R. Fossek, arrived here a few days ago from Alaska where he has been for the past 18 years. Emil lived for ten years in Nome and for the past eight years has been engaged in business at Anchorage. Emil comes to Southern California to make this his future home. He learned the blacksmith trade here when a boy and when the gold excitement attracted many to the north he decided in the battalion, if formed, would be Orange, Anaheim and Fullerton, and possibly Long Beach and Whittier. That such an expansion of the guard system is contemplated in this vicinity was indicated Tuesday by Lieut. Col. James S. McKnight, assisnt adjutant general, at a luncheon at the New Santa Ana Hotel tendered him and Major Harold Coburn under auspices o fthe Chamber of Commerce, and following their inspection of the Santa Ana guard company. After paying high tribute to local guard companies, past and present, and the support accorded them by people of the community, Col. McKnight hinted that a full battalion might be organized in this territory and pointed out briefly how such an organization would help the community. Company F is now the best guard company in the state, McKnight declared, but other ctlies are showing increased interest, and whet?er the company remains the best is up to the people of Santa Ana. Mrs. Minnie Ingram died at her home on Kroeger street Monday after several weeks' illness. She was the widow of G. B. Ingram, who died a year ago, and leaves six sons and one daughter. She was well known throughout the county and has lived in Anaheim four years, moving here with her husband from Garden Grove. Funeral was held at Backs & Terry's yesterday morning, Rev. J. F. Humphreys conducting the services. A large number of Anaheim Elks went to Los Angeles yesterday to attend a ceremony in which one thousand candidates were initiated into the Los Angeles lodge. A parade participated in by Elks from all parts of the Southland, was one of the features. Mrs. Will Liewellyn and small daughter are visiting friends in Los Angeles this week. Col. E R. Grim of Olive, was visiting with his brother, C. F. Grim, last week. The colonel is spending the winter at San Diego. Fritz Kemper was seriously injured in an automobile collision at Long Bech last week. An operation was For guards Anderson of Los Angeles and Hufford of Manual Arts are towers of strength. Both have done their most effective work in charging thru and smearing plays before they are started. In this way they show their superiority as guards. Rich of Long Beach was the best passing center seen in these parts and on defense was a real star. Tiernan of Long Beach is the best half-back developed in the South. He has no peer at running interference, receiving and running with the ball. Tiernan was the life of the Long Beach team, at all times setting the example for them to follow. No fair minded person can conceive an all-southern selection without Arch Hawkins in the backfield. On the offense he can pass as no other in the State, college or otherwise, and with Tiernan and Hall to run his interference his end run could not be stopped. Arch is the fastest man, bar none, of all the Southern California football men. On defense he ranks with Charlie Dean of U. S. C. Hall of Citrus is the best bucker seen in the South this year, and with good interference he would wear out the opposing backfield. He is also a good interference runner and would back up the line on defense. For a field general John Hawkins of Fullerton has no peer. He has demonstrated time and again that he knows more football than any other player in Southern California. He is a sure pass snagger and many times with three men watching him he has caught a pass and eluded all three opponents. His punts were the prettiest offered this year, long beautiful spirals averaging 45 to 50 yards. Also within the 40 yard line he is a dangerous drop or place kicker. In goals from touchdown he has kicked 39 out of 40. This last selection has been made realizing the fact that other good signal callers have appeared this year. But looking at it from a standpoint of field generalship, ability handling the ball and on the defensive, all give place to him. This team would have a wonderful variety of style. In the open game Emil Fossek, son of R. Fossek, arrived here a few days ago from Alaska where he has been for the past 18 years. Emil lived for ten years in Nome and for the past eight years has been engaged in business at Anchorage. Emil comes to Southern California to make this his future home. He learned the blacksmith trade here when a boy and when the gold excitement attracted many to the north he decided to try his luck there and has been successful. Emil has many friends here who are glad to meet with him again. The committee appointed to secure quarters for the American Legion reported favorably on the hall in the Fisher building, and the bi-weekly meetings will be held there hereafter. The post is rapidly increasing its membership. THANKSGIVING DINNER TWENTY YEARS AGO What You Got for Fifty Cents in the Good Old Days. With turkey selling around 65 cents per pound dressed and other of the Christmas delicacies soaring in like proportion, it makes one who is a good "performer" at the table weep crocodile tears to read of hotel menus of twenty years ago that were available to the holiday hungry at 50 cents per plate. Jim Metzgar, of the Santa Ana Chamber of Commerce, has had the difference in conditions twenty years ago and today brought to his attention forcibly by publication in the Weekly News Standard of Uniontown, Pa., giving the menu of a hotel there on Nov. 29, 1899, when turkeys were selling at 8 cents the pound. Listen to this and weep—and the whole for the modest sum of 50 cents. This was the Thanksgiving dinner at the LaFayette hotel, all for a fifty-cent piece: Blue points, New York count, clam soup, green turtle soup, salmon with egg sauce, mixed pickles, queen olives, celery hearts, prime roast of beef with brown gravy, roast suckling pig with apple sauce, canvas Mrs. Will Llewellyn and small daughter are visiting friends in Los Angeles this week. Col. E R. Grim of Olive, was visiting with his brother, C. F. Grim, last week. The colonel is spending the winter at San Diego. Fritz Kemper was seriously injured in an automobile collision at Long Bech last week. An operation was performed on him Friday. Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday of week the stores of Anaheim will remain open until 9:30 in the evening for the accommodation of Christmas shoppers. This will be a great convenience to the persons who always delay their shopping until the last moment. The turkey that escaped the Thanksgiving axe will most likely yield up his carcass to furnish a Christmas dinner for some plutocrat. This is a tough season for the turk, but he has one consolation, if he knows anything about it, and that is that the man who pays for him will find his enjoyment of the feast overbalanced by his unhappiness over the size of the bill. Turkeys will sell at sixty cents a pound again. Mrs. Emma M. Polhemus has sold her thirty acre ranch Miraflores to Mr. Harris of Fullerton for an amount of approximately $40,000. Mrs. Polhemus has moved to her ranch at Artesia, where she will take up here residence. She is one of the pioneer residents of this section, and has many warm personal friends here who extend best wishes to her. This last selection has been made realizing the fact that other good signal callers have appared this year. But looking at it from a standpoint of field generalship, ability handling the ball and on the defensive, all give place to him. This team would have a wonderful variety of style. In the open game with Arch Hawkins to pass and Tiernan and J. Hawkins to receive a rare combination would result. Hall and J. Hawkins for the smashing game. Tiernan and A. Hawkins for the end runs. J. Hawkins for punts and placements and we have an unbeatable collection. Deputy County Clerk E. R. Abbey was in town on Monday on official business. CAPTURES TWO RATTLERS Charles Crise, a well-known farmer of Escondido, was in town this week transacting business and meeting with his numerous friends. Mr. Crise drove up in his car, and after visiting many points of interest returned to his home in San Diego county. One of his recent accomplishments was the capture of two large rattlesnakes which he shipped to a zoological institution in Chicago. The institution wrote asking for large specimens of rattlers, and he succeeded in capturing a couple of beautiful reptiles. In the mountains north of Escondido, where his ranch is located, there are some of the largest rattlesnakes in the country, and the Chicago professor wrote him saying they were two of the finest specimens he had ever seen.
