Sea fishing conditions this winter are remarkably beyond precedent, the markets having been glutted with fresh fish this month at a time when usually storage stocks are being drawn upon heavily. Fish Harbor at San Pedro has been swamped with barracuda, rock cod and other excellent species. Dealers who stocked up heavily in storage during the summer runs to carry trade through the usually stormy and unproductive months, thus are faced with a serious problem. Their frozen halibut, though virtually equal for food to fresh, does not look quite so well, and stands them a higher cost per pound than fresh can be bought for under present abnormal conditions. In part, these glut-catches are due to the activities of numerous large purse-seine boats, which in all probability are overloading the present market at the serious prejudice of the future supply, and virtually driving out of business the smaller and so-called "independent" operators who cannot compete with these wholesale destroyers. Expert students of fisheries, familiar with Atlantic seaboard experience of purse-netting, feel that the present situation will enforce attention from next winter's legislature as according to the Fish and Game Commission, there is no law on the statute books The Anaheim high school district will shortly be asked to vote bonds for the construction of additions to the group of high school buildings. The buildings are now overcrowded and room must be made for 150 more than can be comfortably handled at present. Forty grammar school pupils will be advanced to the high school next week, making the enrollment 366, just 100 more than last year. The board estimate that a bond issue of $175,000 will be needed for the required improvements. Architect J. F. Walker is now working on plans for the buildings. Mrs. E. C. Schleuter received word last week that her father, Andrew Mueller, had died of pneumonia at his home in Crocker. Mr. Mueller had for many years been connected with the big sugar refinery at Crocker. Eygabroad & Fisher recently opened up and put on the market the Vista del Rea tract in the Santa Ana canyon east of this city. The tract contains 191 acres, 70 acres of which is laid out in citrus fruit. It is divided into plots of from 2½ acres up. This land is supposed to be well within the oil region, and it is first-class citrus ground. At the annual meeting of the Yorba Linda water company, a resolution was passed for the issuing of $20,000 bonds for the adding of new machinery and betterments of the company.

Barred elsewhere, many have come here. That the state laws forbidding net fishing within 750 feet of wharves, and prohibiting the taking of undersized lobsters or halibut, mean exactly what they say, was again impressed forcibly upon the alien market fishermen when some stiff fines were meted out to offenders in the Los Angeles county beach police courts recently.

Dr. Adams has obtained his passport for his contemplated trip to Guatamala, for which country he intends to depart shortly, being detained at present on account of his father's illness. The doctor is a member of a Los Angeles syndicate which has purchased 8500 acres of land near Champico. The company will engage in the culture of cocoanuts and sugar cane, and contemplate going extensively into the manufacture of sugar. At the annual meeting of the Yorba Linda water company, a resolution was passed for the issuing of $20,000 bonds for the adding of new machinery and betterments of the company. The following officers were elected to rthe ensuing year: Directors—G. W. Wells, G. F. Collins, J. H. Barton, Thos. Hughes, Arthur Staley, E. J. Herbert and E. R. Walker. At a meeting of the new board, the following officers were appointed: J. H. Barton, president; Ernest Walker, vice-president; W. E. Swain, secretary-treasurer and Eldo R. West, superintendent. The company is now pumping water from five wells and irrigating 2800 acres. So far as has been learned in an unofficial way, Mr. and Mrs. Oscar Rosenbaum, of San Juan Capistrano have done more to swell the 1920 census than any other couple in Orange county. Mr. and Mrs. Rosenbaum have fourteen living children, three of the seventeen that they brought into the world having died. The family is one of the best known in the southern part of the county. There is a family in Santa Ana that comes very near the record mark set by the Rosenbaums. It is the family of Rumolo Delci, living on Fairview street. The Delci family includes thirteen living children. Four children have died, so that for the number born the San Juan Capistrano record-holders for living children are not at all in the lead for the number of children brought into the world.

Blanks to be filled out by applicants for positions as election officers are now available at the office of County Clerk J. M. Backs, he announced Saturday. There are 110 precincts in the county and a majority of these will require six officers. In some precincts only four officers will be needed. William Boom, one of the returned war heroes, died at his home in West Anaheim Saturday. He was a nephew of G. Fred Pressel. S. Hiraide, Japanese sweet potato grower, who was arrested near Anaheim by Under Sheriff Jack Iman on a John Doe warrant charging him with selling sweet potatoes in violation of the net container law, was arraigned before Justice of the Peace John Cox and his trial was set for January 27, at 2 o'clock. Hiraide was released on his own recognizance. The complaint against him was sworn to by County Sealer Geo. McPhee on information supplied by A. A. Mills, of Anaheim. Hiraide was said to have told Under Sheriff Jack Iman that he (Hiraide) had simply sold Mills sweet potatoes by the sack, and not by weight. During the five minutes of extra play decided upon mutually by the CHANGE OF DATE FOR NEXT LYCEUM NUMBER John B. Ratto, Entertainer, to be here on February 3. An unforseen contingency—the illness of Mrs. Ratto—postpones the appearance of John Ratto, who was to have given the fourth lyceum program at the high school the latter part of January, until Tuesday, February 3. The committee feels certain that this will please lyceum patrons, since it relieves us of a Saturday night engagement and gives us our program on the following Tuesday evening. In Mr. Ratto's programs depicting the different phases of every day life each number naturally and logically follows the preceding one, making a panorama of associated characters. He presents his characters in "make-up," penciling in full view of the audience, telling an appropriate story while. Penciling finished, he turns to the table mirror, adjusts his wig, and faces about to surprise you with the accuracy of a character distinct in appearance, speech and actions and with a personality all its own. Mr. Ratto's performances are full of action and life with not a dull moment. They consist of the types of characters one meets in the average American communities or of noted men, past and present. Mr. Ratto ranks as one of the lyceum's standard attractions, a place won by genuine ability and faithful work, and he justly deserves the respect and esteem in which he is held by his co-workers. Personal Mention Mrs. Max Nebelung entertained the Elite club at her home on Sycamore street Thursday afternoon. Cards formed the diversion for the afternoon with Mrs. J. Kellenberger winning first prize, Mrs. A. Erickson, second and Mrs. H. Schindler, third. The members of the Star Whist club held a pleasant meeting on Friday afternoon at their club rooms in the Masonic Temple, Mrs. W. P. Webb, Sr., and Mrs. Henry Hansen, hostesses. Twenty ladies were present, Mrs. Harbeson winning high honors; Mrs. Sackett, second; Mrs. Callaway, third, and Mrs. Jackson, fourth. Leo Sheridan and Percy Rust spent several days the first of the week at San Diego and other points south. The annual mid-winter picnic of the South Dakota State Society will be held in Sycamore Grove, Los Angeles, Saturday, January 31st, 1920. All South Dakota folks and all their friends in Southern California are expected to attend. Bring lunch for all-day visit. Coffee will be served free. The usual program will be enlivened by special musical numbers. Tell your friends. Horace Skinner and Emil Fossek motored up to Glenn county last week to look after a ranch which Skinner owns in that county. Fossek expects to stay on the ranch and work it. Stock in the new $200,000 Fullerton was released on his own recognizance. The complaint against him was sworn to by County Sealer Geo. McPhee on information supplied by A. A. Mills, of Anaheim. Hiraide was said to have told Under Sheriff Jack Iman that he (Hiraide) had simply sold Mills sweet potatoes by the sack, and not by weight. During the five minutes of extra play, decided upon mutually by the captains of the two teams after both quintets had battled each other to an 18 to 18 tie, the Anaheim high school basketball squad scored two points and won the second league game of the season, from the Santa Ana high school squad, on the home grounds Friday. A big Paige filled with tourists and a Ford belonging to the Truck & Transfer Co., bumped into each other on South Los Angeles street Monday afternoon, both cars being considerably damaged. The machines were both traveling north, consequently the impact was not as heavy as it would have been had they met head-on. Nobody was hurt. Corporal Carroll and a couple of privates from Fort MacArthur are in town this week recruiting for the army. They will probably leave tomorrow or Saturday morning. Anaheim Post, American Legion, at the last meeting directed Secretary E. E. Smith to write Adjutant General Borree relative to the organization of a national guard company in Anaheim. The post favors the move and will assist in the organization. The annual meeting of the Olive Hillside Groves, Inc., was held at their packing house Tuesday. A large attendance of well-satisfied members were present. The following directors for the year were elected: President, W. A. Greenleaf; vice-president, C. O. Heim; directors, J. M. Bush, R. H. Paulus and H. A. Buhrmann. The manager, F. B. Maxwell, submitted his annual report showing the thrifty condition of the business, and also the high prices paid the members for Mr. Ratto's performances are full of action and life with not a dull moment. They consist of the types of characters one meets in the average American communities or of noted men, past and present. Mr. Ratto ranks as one of the lyceum's standard attractions, a place won by genuine ability and faithful work, and he justly deserves the respect and esteem in which he is held by his co-workers. Supplementary to his appearance on the lyceum platform, Mr. Ratto never allows an opportunity to pass to use his talents to bring joy to the unfavorites in the various institutions of the country. He often gives his services to the sanitariums, hospitals, penitentiaries and asylums. Since the Supreme Court of California has decided that the new Real Estate Law is constitutional, R. L. Riley, real estate commissioner, has issued a warning to all agents or others dealing in real estate that the violators of this law will be prosecuted to the full extent of the law, and it is understood that his deputies will soon be quietly working in the different cities of California to arrest all violators of this act. The commissioner will soon issue a directory of all licensed brokers and mall one to each licensed broker so a careful check can be kept on anyone breaking the law.

Hamilton has filed suit for divorce against William Hamilton, with H. G. Ames as her attorney. Horace Skinner and Emil Fossek motored up to Glenn county last week to look after a ranch which Skinner owns in that county. Fossek expects to stay on the ranch and work it. Stock in the new $200,000 Fullerton hotel is selling rapidly, local residents showing great interest in the enterprise, indicating that a great majority of the stock, if not all of it will be owned by local parties. A hotel is the crying need of the city, there being no place for strangers, visitors or prospective residents to even stop over night, consequently they are compelled to go to other towns to secure accommodations and as a result other cities of the county are building up at the expense of Fullerton. It is hopep to have ground broken for the new hotel within 30 days. Those who are not in a position to purchase stock are lending moral support toward the success of the enterprise. Lawrence Brown, nephew of W. T. Brown, and another boy named Lemke, of Placentia, son of John Lemke, were seized with the wardenlust and departed from their homes a few days ago to see the world. The youngsters are both about 16 years of age. It was believed that they headed for the Imperial Valley and Mr. Brown, Mr. Lemke and City Marshal Meyers made a trip of several days through the valley, stopping at Brawley, El Centro, Calexico, Imperial and other places, but found no trace of the youngsters. The searching party returned home greatly disappointed at their fruitless search. A Guarantee A Guarantee Ever since this store was established it has been the ambition of the proprietor to give his customers satisfaction, because he believes that a satisfied customer is worth more to him than a big profit on a sale, therefore he handles nothing but guaranteed goods. Everybody knows that Hart Schaffner & Marx clothes, Florsheim shoes and Stetson hats have a nation wide reputation for quality. We handle these goods because we know the man who buys them will get his money’s worth. It is a fad of ours to let no suit, either tailormade or readymade, go out of our store unless it fits the purchaser. A man is not well dressed unless his clothes fit him, no matter what they cost. By all means get a fit, and you will be well dressed In addition to quality, style and fit, our prices are marked down to the lowest possible notch. F. A. YUNGBLUTH “By All Means Get a Fit.” Home of Hart Schaffner & Marx clothes WILL DIVIDE HIS TIME THROUGHOUT THE COUNTY Elmer Burns, Income Tax Man, to be in Anaheim Today. Finding that a large number of people of the county who have income tax reports to make out can be convenienced if he has days set apart for office hours in the various cities of Orange county, Elmer B. Burns, deputy collector, has announced that half of his time will be given to his Santa Ana office and the other half to the cities of the county outside of Santa Ana. "From now on until March 15th, when tax reports must be in, I will be in my office in the Rowley block, Santa Ana, and on Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays only," said Burns, "and on Tuesdays, Thursdays and Saturdays I shall be in other cities of the county. Today I am going to Fullerton city hall, Thursday to Anaheim city hall and Saturday to Orange city hall. Each week I will be in my office here on Monday, Wednesday and Friday. I shall announce my program for the other three days of the week as time goes along." Burns said that every person sending in payment under the income tax should use a personal check or else a draft on which the identification is plain. "This request is made," said Burns "for the reason that in the office in Los Angeles checks or drafts or money orders may become detached from the reports, and unless there is some means of identification on the check, side the earth," said Marconi. "The Morse signal letters occur with much greater frequency than others, but we have never picked up anything that could be translated. "The fact that the signals have occurred simultaneously at New York and London with identical intensity seems to indicate they must have originated at a very great distance. We have not the slightest proof of their origin. They might be due to some natural disturbance at a great distance; for instance, an eruption of the sun, causing electrical disturbances." Asked if possibly attempts were being made by another planet to communicate, Marconi said: "I would not rule out the possibility of this, but there is no proof. We must investigate the matter much more thoroughly before we venture upon an explanation." Burns said that every person sending in payment under the income tax should use a personal check or else a draft on which the identification is plain. "This request is made," said Burns "for the reason that in the office in Los Angeles checks or drafts or money orders may become detached from the reports, and unless there is some means of identification on the check, draft or money order, it is almost impossible to get it back to the report where it belongs. The best method is to send in a personal check signed by the person making the report. Another good method is to use a bank draft made payable to the person sending it, and then have that draft endorsed by John P. Carter, the collector. "There is another point that needs emphasis," continued the deputy collector. "That is, that every person making a report upon an orchard must disclose whether or not his trees are all bearing." "If a man has part of his trees in full bearing and part not in full bearing, he must separate the two in his report. Lemons, for this report, are not considered in full bearing until they are five years old, oranges until six and walnuts until eight. For an orchard not in full bearing the owner is allowed to put down as capital whatever is left of his expenses after he has deducted whatever may have been produced between the rows or on the trees." Burns said that he is finding that people generally understand what is expected of them this year much better than they did last year, and there are likely to be fewer errors this year than last. "It is advisable," said he, "that every report from here pass through my hands so that I can give it the once over and see if there are any errors. If there is something plainly wrong with it, I can turn it back right then instead of waiting for me or someone else to find the error after it has reached the Los Angeles office. I could not check over the figures, but I would glance over it to see if all of the necessary blanks have been filled out." ery report from here pass through my hands so that I can give it the once over and see if there are any errors.

The Ebell Club gave an entertainment at the Grand theatre Wednesday evening which consisted of local talent of unusual merit. The proceeds will be applied to the club's building fund. During the evening several boxes of candy, and a large bouquet of sweet peas, were auctioned which brought a tidy sum. Motion pictures were also shown. A large crowd was in attendance. Under Sheriff Jack Iman came over Thursday for the purpose of arresting a Japanese named S. Hiraide, on a charge of selling sweet potatoes at other than net weight. A. A. Mills was said to have called the attention of George McPhee, county sealer of weights and measures, to the alleged fact that the Japanese was violating the law. McPhee swore to a John Doe complaint.
