UNUSUAL TRADE FOR HOLIDAY SEASON MERRY OLD ST. NICHOLAS MADE EVERYBODY HAPPY THIS CHRISTMAS DAY.

And there were in the same country shepherds abiding in the field, keeping watch over their flock by night. And lo, the angel of the Lord came upon them, and the glory of the Lord shown round about them, and they were sore afraid. And the angel said unto them, Fear not; for behold I bring you good tidings of great joy, which shall be to all people. For unto you is born this day in the city of David a Saviortainment and distributed presents to all the visitors. It was a joyful occasion for the kiddies. NEW BUILDING FOR WEST CENTER STREET Carl Pressel Will Soon Begin Erection of Business Structure on Lot Bought from Jos. Bennerscheldt. Carl Pressel has bought a lot of 75 feet frontage on West Center street from Jos. Bennerscheldt and has in contemplation the erection thereof of a fine business block. Mr. Pressel owns the lot directly across the street upon which is a building formerly occupied by him as a blacksmith shop which he intends to move to the rear of the lot bought from Mr. Bennerscheldt. It is the intention of Mr. Pressel to also erect a modern building upon this site. The business area is being extended west on Center street and Mr. Pressel intends to keep abreast of the times with improvements.

And suddenly there was with the angel a multitude of the heavenly host, praising God and saying, Glory to God in the Highest, on Earth Peace, Good Will Toward Men. This event, chronicled in holy writ, occurred 1919 years ago, and today six hundred million people believe and keep this day holy. And notwithstanding visionary scientists and maun derings of adventists who draw inspiration from a distorted reading of the prophecies, this world will not pass away until all the peoples thereof accept the story and hold this day sacred. This is the greatest day in all the year, and if the happiness of the people is measured by the amount of money spent for Christmas gifts, today is the happiest Christmas this country ever experienced. Reports from all sections of the country indicate the heaviest holiday trade ever known, notwithstanding the extreme high prices of everything. Money was plentiful and many people, who have almost come to the belief that they own Fortunatus' purse, spent it lavishly, recklessly disregarding the prices. People who failed to receive a visit from Santa Claus this year are mighty few. In some of our neighboring communities municipal trees were given and gifts distributed to all children. In Anaheim the old saint had an advance list prepared to make certain that no children would be missed when he made his rounds, and it is believed his roster was complete. Not content with ministering to the wants of children he also took pains to see that the widow, the orphan, the sick The business area is being extended west on Center street and Mr. Pressel intends to keep abreast of the times with improvements. On South Lemon street, adjoining the alley, in rear of Hotel Valencia, Carl Pressel and Herman Bennerscheidt own a lot upon which they will in the near future erect a blacksmith shop, which will be conducted by them. A few years ago Fred Pressel deeded a home on South Lemon street to each of his three children, namely Carl Pressel, Mrs. Maggie Hoag and Mrs. Kate Vanata. Each of these holdings are worth $4000. Fred Pressel has lived in Anaheim for 35 years and has looked after his family with fatherly interest. AUTO BUMPS INTO HERD OF STEERS Walter Heitshusen Has Exciting Experience with Cattle at Night on Road South of Town. One evening recently as Walter Heitshusen was driving on the Long Beach road, while on his way to San Pedro, where he was going to meet his parents, and bring them home, he ran into a herd of cattle, belonging to a large property owner of that section, which were being driven upon the public highway. As a result of the impact Walter's car was lifted high up in the air by vaulting over the head of a steer or two while some of the critters were under the machine. Walter says the dust kicked up by the cattle looked like fog to him and he was proceeding slowly, when he encountered the herd. He asserts the drivers of the cattle had no warning lights at the head of the line, and he was unable to prevent the accident. The car almost turned over, and with the steers bellowing all around him he imagined he was in the African jungles. He finally got clear of the herd, but his car was badly damaged and he had to have it piloted to his garage in this city. A man and his wife coming from Long Beach had al- The city of Stanton which was established a number of a municipal government ago, is to be disbanded city laws and ordinances have been incorporated, Dr. L.

There are two realities to disincorporate city of Anaheim, in Fullerton, is prepari fall sewer to the oing that menace, and the county will probond issue of a cou few. In some of our neighboring communities municipal trees were given and gifts distributed to all children. In Anaheim the old saint had an advance list prepared to make certain that no children would be missed when he made his rounds, and it is believed his roster was complete. Not content with ministering to the wants of children he also took pains to see that the widow, the orphan, the sick and the indigent were provided with food, clothing and other necessary articles. There was Christmas cheer in every home today. Christmas programs were given at the various churches in the city during the week. Tuesday night the Presbyterians held their entertainment and last night excellent programs were given at the German Methodist Grace Lutheran and Evangelical churches. St. Michael's Episcopal will hold an entertainment tomorrow night. The 125 boys at St. Catharine's school will be made happy by a visit from Santa Claus at 2 o'clock this afternoon. The old saint never fails to pay these orphans a visit at Christmas time, and he always treats them with impartiality. A beautiful entertainment is given each year in which all the young pupils participate, and Christmas time is a happy one for the orphans. The Grand theatre was filled with children from all sections of northern Orange county Tuesday afternoon, the free entertainment given by the Elks being the attraction. The audience was entirely composed of children, none over 15 years og age being admitted. The pictures were appropriate to the spectators and were hugely enjoyed. Santa Claus also made his appearance at the close of the enter- drivers of the cattle had no warning lights at the head of the line, and he was unable to prevent the accident. The car almost turned over, and with the steers bellowing all around him he imagined he was in the African jungles. He finally got clear of the herd, but his car was badly damaged and he had to have it piloted to his garage in this city. A man and his wife coming from Long Beach had almost a similar experience at the other end of the herd as they were on their way to this city. Both parties claim the herders had no warning lights. Mr. and Mrs. Heitshusen, who had gone to San Pedro to meet old time friends, arriving by boat, and accompany them to their home in this city, waited until one o'clock in the morning for the arrival of their son with the car, when they received a phone message informing them of the crash into the cattle. Mr. Heitshusen says his car was badly damaged and has placed a claim for repairs with the Southern California Auto Association, of which he is a member, but he says the legal phase of the question moves slowly for some reason. UTILIZING WALNUT SHELLS The California Walnut Growers Association, to which all of the local walnut associations of Orange county belong, is making experiments with making charcoal out of walnut shells. During the war walnut shells were used for a charcoal used in making gas masks. The association hopes to develop a line of by-products that will be of great value to the growers.

The city of Stanton, that freak town which was established by the incorporation of a number of ranches under a municipal government nine years ago, is to be disincorporated and the city laws and ordinances nullified. Petitions have been circulated asking disincorporation, Dr. Lee C. Deming and Charles Conwell being the circulators. As the population is compelled almost entirely of ranchers and their families, ANAHEIM EASY WINNER IN SEASON'S FIRST GAME Stall & Dean's All-Stars Defeated by 5 to 3 Score. To the hundreds of fans who witnessed the opening game of the season at high school grounds Sunday it was apparent after the first inning that Manager Riley, ambition to give Anaheim a championship baseball team had been realized. The Stall & Dean all-star aggregation of Los Angeles, composed of picked men wearing a variety of uniforms, was outclassed, and never for a moment had a look-in. Five to one was the score until the last inning. The shades of night began to fall, and in their haste to finish while the light held out the Tigers grew reckless and allowed two more runs. Lan Franco walked a man with the bases full, and Salazar ran in from third base after an out in center field. While the game was a good one there were few sensational plays. Ingraham's running catch of a fly saving the situation at one point, and Glenn Callan's home run in the third brought wild applause.

Petitions have been circulated asking disincorporation, Dr. Lee C. Deming and Charles Conwell being the circulators. As the population is compelled almost entirely of ranchers and their families, and the peace, dignity and convenience and comfort of the citizens are not now threatened from the outside, there is no longer an excuse for the existence of a municipal government, therefore the people want to give up their charter and revert back to the county rule. The city of Stanton was formed for a purpose, the purpose was accomplished and now there is no longer an excuse for the clay of Stanton. Nine years ago the Anaheim trustees purchased a ranch of 21 acres, known as the Gilbert ranch, a few miles west of town. The purpose of the trustees was to construct thereon an outfall for the Anaheim sewer system. People living in that neighborhood objected to the establishment of a septic tank in their midst, and put up a fight against it. The controversy became exceedingly warm and the longer it lasted the more determined the Stantonites became. While they had an exaggerated idea of the calamity that would befall the neighborhood should the sewage be carried onto the Gilbert farm, nobody blamed them much for opposing it. Anaheim, however, had the better of the argument, and was about to win, therefore the only course left to the ranchers was to draw a boundary line around the sewer farm, get a charter and call it a city. In order to secure the necessary 500 population a vast scope of ranch land was taken in, and the ranchers have been taxed to maintain a city government ever since. There are two reasons now for seeking to disincorporate. One is that the city of Anaheim, in conjunction with Fullerton, is preparing to build an outfall sewer to the ocean, thus removing that menace, and another is that the county will probably soon vote a bond issue of a couple of million dollars. Tigers grew reckless and allowed two more runs. Lan Franco walked a man with the bases full, and Salazar ran in from third base after an out in center field. While the game was a good one there were few sensational plays. Graham's running catch of a fly saving the situation at one point, and Glenn Callan's home run in the third brought wild applause. Lan Franco on the mound for the home team, was in good form and struck out eleven men, Sousa was pulled out of the box in the seventh and McCarty took his place. The Anaheim line-up in the batting order was as follows: Franklin ss, Glenn Callan 2b, Buster Callan c, LaPorte lf, Salverson rf, Vetter 1b, Benjamin 3b, Ingraham cf, Lan Franco p. The line-up of the visitors was: Hodges lf, Davis cf, Brugge 3b, Palmer ss, Feris 1b, Nofiger 2b, Salazar rf, Finley c, Sousa p, McCarty p. Ira Duckworth umpired the game. The large attendance indicates that Anaheim is as greatly interested in baseball as it used to be when we were in the habit of defeating everything in Southern California. We have a winning team this season and it will receive the support it deserves. CHAMPIONSHIP GAME AT PASADENA In addition to the great New Year's Day football game between Harvard and the University of Oregon, the Tournament of Roses Association of Pasadena is planning to stage a state championship high school game on the afternoon of December 27 at Tournament park. President Wilson of the state association and the other officials have given their sanction for this contest. The Long Beach high school team will represent the south end of the state in this first championship game and the northern contender will be Berkeley. The game will be one of the fastest contests ever staged in the light weight division and if the contest proves the success anticipated the annual championship game for high school teams will undoubtedly become a permanent event. Clyde Potter, advertising manager of the Southern Counties Gas Company, was in town Friday transacting business for his company, and made a social call at this office. Mr. Potter served his country in France throughout the war, but dropped into his old position on his return and received a warm welcome from the newpapermen of Soutnern California, with all of whom he is acquainted. While in Europe he served eight months at Versailles with the peace commission after the signing of the armistice, where he rubbed elbows with the big statesmen who had gathered there from the four corners of the earth. He speaks French like a Parisian and easily pronounces all the impossible proper names that daily confronted us in the newspapers during the war. Relative to the recent decision of the Rialroad Commission concerning the piping of natural gas from Orange county, Mr. Potter cites the following statement which was recently given out by Ferdinand R. Bain, president and general manager of the Southern Counties Gas Company to correct an erroneous impression which apparently has arisen in Orange county regarding the withdrawal of gas from Orange county industries for use in Long Beach. The facts are as follows, according to Mr. Rain: "Any arrangements," said Pres. Bain, "which are now being made are entirely of a temporary nature, designed to meet the winter peak of the domestic business throughout Southern California, and for the benefit of all domestic consumers, whether in Anaheim, Santa Ana, Fullerton, Pomona, Los Angeles or Long Beach." "The curtailment of the industrial use of gas in Orange county during certain recent periods of high domestic consumption has been solely to provide sufficient gas for domestic users in Orange county and no gas has been taken from Orange county for use in Long Beach." "It is expected," continued Mr. Bain, "that during the remainder of the winter on peak days all of the gas which can be made available by shutting off industries in Orange county will be required by Orange county domestic consumers, thus making it impossible been with years. "It is a company too supply. We could increase it! It is only new we are not a service. Taking tion of this country order to tries in foloria, H to show by nature." "To give trial control Orange figures at In October gas was industrial cubic feet later incl 28,970,000 Orange 33,929,000 ber, 1911 mendous cubic feet cent more gas because." "The Bain, "p gas in yearly aff these fig neglecting of this co natural gas." sary 500 population a vast scope of ranch land was taken in, and the ranchers have been taxed to maintain a city government ever since. There are two reasons now for seeking to disincorporate. One is that the city of Anaheim, in conjunction with Fullerton, is preparing to build an outfall sewer to the ocean, thus removing that menace, and another is that the county will probably soon vote a bond issue of a couple of million dollars for the extension of its highway system, and the incorporate lines serve as a barrier against getting any of that money. None of it could be used within an incorporated city, and Stanton wants some of its roads improved out of that fund. We wish the Stantonites good luck Anaheim has made money out of the deal, as the Gilbert farm, for which the trustees paid $21,000, is worth a great deal more money today and yields a small income to the city. tion, has produced from walnut shells not only charcoal, but also creosote, wood alcohol and acetic acid. A large plant with a capacity of five tons a day is being erected by the association at Vernon. In the process of handling, the shells are ground up and run through the large kiln. For the present only charcoals will be prdouced at the plant. It sells to poultrymen at $50 per ton. The association will have about 1002 tons to be handled for the season. Mr. and Mrs H. O. Henderson were visiting at San Diego last week. The Long Beach high school team will represent the south end of the state in this first championship game and the northern contender will be Berkeley. The game will be one of the fastest contests ever staged in the light weight division and if the contest proves the success anticipated the annual championship game for high school teams will undoubtedly become a permanent event. Entries for the Tournament of Roses parade on the morning of New Year's Day indicate the biggest and best parade in the history of this all-Southern California pageant. It will be the 32nd annual pageant and so far entries from nearly twenty cities and civic organizations of Southern California have been received. The parade is expected to be more than two miles long, Chairman B. O. Kendall of the parade committee having received assurances which indicate about 150 separate floats in line. This will be nearly a third more floats than have ever participated. The grandstands at Tournament park have been enlarged to have a seating capacity of more than 27,000 people. This is an increase of over 5000 seats. Top price for seats for the New Year's Day game will be $3 the same price which has always obtained, and there will be seats as low as 50 cents.

"It is expected," continued Mr. Bain, "that during the remainder of the winter on peak days all of the gas which can be made available by shutting off industries in Orange county will be required by Orange county domestic consumers, thus making it impossible to withdraw industrial gas from this county for use elsewhere." "The Southern Counties Gas Company does not intend to shut off industrial consumers on another portion of its system in order to provide gas for domestic consumers in Long Beach, but this is merely a temporary arrangement, to continue during cold weather, and done strictly in compliance with an order of the Railroad Commission. It is the established policy of this company to protect the interests of all its consumers both domestic and industrial in Orange county and elsewhere and it urged before the Commission the detrimental effect of any permanent withdrawal of gas now used by industries in the eastern part of system, comprising Orange county, Pomona and the Whittier districts." In speaking of several articles which appeared in local papers recently to the effect that vast quantities of natural ga swere being wasted, Mr. Bain said that such a statement was entirely incorrect. "If there is any natural gas going to waste anywhere in Orange county we should like to know about it," declared President Bain. "We have expert engineers employed whose duty it is to locate new natural gas sources." RELEASE IN EXCEPTION GAS INDUSTRIES USE MORE THAN IN 1916.

"As to the statement in the press this week in which a citizen was quoted as saying that Santa Ana would have been better shut off today had the city several years ago accepted the offer of the Birch Oil Company to sell gas for municipal distribution. The Birch Oil Company more than three years ago ran out of natural gas. In fact," continued Mr. Bain, "the Birch Oil Company's supply of natural gas became so low at that time that even the small city of Brea was unable to secure an adequate supply from this company. Had the city of Santa Ana depended on the Birch Oil Company for natural gas, it would have been without gas for more than three years. "It is one of the policies of our company to constantly augment our gas supply. Unless we followed this plan, we could never have maintained our increasing growth in Orange county. It is only through this policy of laying new transmission mains wherever a new source of supply develops, that we are in a position today to render TALK OF DIVIDING SUPERVISOR DISTRICT OTHER DISTRICTS CASTING COVETOUS EYES AT THE WEALTHY AND POPULOUS THIRD.

The owner of a large department store earlier in the even- Because of its rapidly increasing wealth and population residents of other supervisor districts have for a long time been casting covetous eyes on the third district, and now, it is announced, the supervisors are preparing to fall upon it and rend it to pieces, giving juicy fragments to other districts. The question, it is reported, has been discussed with deep interest by the supervisors, but they have decided to take no action until after the federal census is completed and accurate population figures are secured. Supervisor Schumacher, of course, will oppose any effort to cut chunks out of his district, but Messrs. Finley, Wassum and Edwards are determined to perofr mthe operation. hTe matter has not yet been brought before the board officially, but it is understood action will be taken within the next year. The third district far outstrips all others in population and wealth, the assessed valuation of the district being equal to the balance of the county combined. It is proposed to gerry-mander the county in such a way that the second, fourth and fifth districts will get some of our valuable oil land. One suggestion that has been made was for adding Yorba Linda, Olinda and Richfield to Edwards' district. If this change were made the north line of the fifth district might be shoved a mile north of East Seventeenth street, which is now the dividing line between the fourth and fifth districts. The lightest district in the county when assessed valuation is compared to road demands is the second district, and one suggestion that was made for the benefit of that district was for a strip that would run up into the oil districts by way of Placentia. Another suggestion was for a strip on the west side of the third district. One difficulty there is that Supervisor Schumacher lives in Buena Park and no one wants to legislate him out of office by throwing his precinct into another supervisorial district. The matter has not gone far enough in the minds of the supervisors who believe tha the changes must be made in order to meet conditions that will be made plain by the 1920 census Burned Out Fuse Leads Them to Believe Burglars were Operating in Large Department Store. Officers "Tex" Choate and Baxter had a peculiar experience about 11 o'clock Saturday night, when they were expecting to land a read live burglar in jail. The owner of a large department store earlier in the evening had received several mysterious calls upon the phone, from some unknown person, who would not answer his call, and the police were notified. It was supposed that perhaps burglars had evil intentions and were endeavoring to locate the owner of the store. Officer Choate kept watch on the store and also notified Officer Baxter of his suspicions. After Choate had passed the store and had gone a few yards away he noticed that the lights in the show windows were extinguishde. He believed a burglar had secreted himself in the store and made ready to catch him. Baxter stood guard at the front while Choate went to the rear door. In the meantime keys to the store were obtained and the officers went inside in quest of the intruder. Not a sign of anyone was found, and the strangest part of the whole business was the fact that the fuse furnishing the lights in the store had burned out. There were no burglars. The Long Beach football eleven defeated Dinuba on the latter's grounds on Saturday afternoon by a score of 41 to 0, in the semi-final game for the state championship. Before the game Dinuba made formal protest against the playing by Long Beach, as claim- Another suggestion was for a strip on the west side of the third district. One difficulty there is that Supervisor Schumacher lives in Buena Park and no one wants to legislate him out of office by throwing his precinct into another supervisorial district. The matter has not gone far enough in the minis of the supervisors who believe tha the changes must be made in order to meet conditions that will be made plain by the 1920 census to determine just what in their judgment should be done. In order to make a change in supervisorial districts a two-thirds vote of the Board of Supervisors is necessary. That means that four votes will be necessary. Any proposed change will of course meet with determined opposition in this district, and especially from the people in those sections to be divorced from the old district and given to another.
