Anaheim Gazette ISSUED EVERY THURSDAY ESTABLISHED 1870 Henry Kuchel, Editor and Proprietor SUBSCRIPTION PER YEAR ... $1.50 SIX MONTHS ... $1.00 THREE MONTHS ... $.50 Entered at the Anaheim Postoffice as second-class matter Quick discovery of the fact that he had just swallowed a bi-chloride of mercury lotion by mistake for other medicine, saved the life of Carl Butler of Garden Grove, son of Mr. and Mrs. Earl Butler and a student of the Anaheim high school. Young Butler saw immediately after swallowing the poison that he had made a mistake, due to the similarity of the two bottles. The youth then rushed to the Anderson drug store, where an antidote was administered, and he was then taken to the hospital for treatment, the physician working with him for five hours before it was considered out of danger. Both eyes were swollen shut from the effects of the poison and for a time Butler was very sick, but he has now recovered sufficiently to resume his studies at Anaheim high. When a freak storm blew down 15 telephone poles along Slauson avenue in Los Angeles Sunday, Mrs. J. G. Parr, of Yorba Linda, was slightly injured when the top of the machine in which she was riding was broken by one of the fallen poles. Six machines were damaged in the crash, each being struck by a different pole. Seven persons were injured in the accident. now capped with an eight-inch opening. The well "whistles" part of the time and spouts oil part of the time. When it gets cleaned out and into action it is expected that it will prove a well of about 3000 barrels a day capacity. There is one production well on the property already, and the third one is expected to be brought in within the next sixty days. Santa Ana's "new millionaires" refused absolutely to discuss the cause of their sudden ascendency into the millionaire class, and what they paid for their gamble is locked in the bosoms of themselves and those who were immediately connected with the transaction. If the new well proves to be a 3,000-barrel producer, it is estimated that the royalties will return each about $1500 per month. This, together with the well producing, it is believed will be sufficient to keep the wolf away from their doors for a time, with the returns from the third well expected to come in within the next sixty days adding a little velvet that will make it possible for them to enjoy a few of the luxuries of today. Report has it that the two men paid $50,000 for the quarter interest, with a cash payment of about one-fifth of the amount. They would neither deny nor affirm the report this morning. A trainload of Sutter county raisins, worth $350,000, was shipped last week. KILL 5748 DEER IN THE MAINE WOODS PORTLAND, Mo., March 16. (United Press.)—Maine last fall had its first open season on moose in five When a freak storm blew down 15 telephone poles along Slauson avenue in Los Angeles Sunday, Mrs. J. G. Parr, of Yorba Linda, was slightly injured when the top of the machine in which she was riding was broken by one of the fallen poles. Six machines were damaged in the crash, each being struck by a different pole. Seven persons were injured in the accident, one probably fatally. The 15 poles fell as one, according to spectators. A pole near the Slauson station of the Pacific Electric snapped at the base first and when it fell, taking with it the heavy cables, the remaining 14 poles followed in rapid succession. Because of the tangled mass of wires, poles and cables, the street was impassable for some time. NO DECISION YET ON CITRUS INSTITUTE Santa Ana and Pomona Both Pulling for the Convention The decision as to where the California Citrus Institute will be held in June will probably be reached within three or four weeks. "Both Santa Ana and Pomona have given the institute directors assurance that the visitors will be provided with accommodations," declared Prof. R. S. Valle of the Citrus Experiment Station at Riverside, secretary of the institute. "The matter of location is entirely up to the board of directors," said Prof. Valle. "At its last meeting the board decided to hold the institute either in Pomona or Santa Ana, and I was instructed to find out if the institute could be accommodated at either place. I have received answers from Pomona and Santa Ana showing that satisfactory arrangements can be made at either place. The Orange County Farm Bureau has assured us that the visitors will be cared for, and no further assurances are necessary." "The directors did not set the date in June, but did decide that the institute should be held during that month." Dr. J. T. Barrett of the Citrus Experiment Station, is president of the institute and Prof. Valle is secretary. C. C., Chapman of Fullerton, is a direc- A trainload of Sutter county raisins, worth $350,000, was shipped last week. KILL 5748 DEER IN THE MAINE WOODS PORTLAND, Me., March 16. (United Press.)—Maine last fall had its first open season on moose in five years and it is the opinion of Willis E. Parsons, commissioner of fish and game, that another open season will just about exterminate all the moose in the Maine woods. "Moose had so increased in some counties" he says in his report, "where they had not been hunted for four years that they had become quite tame and appeared often in the settlements. But they fell an easy prey to the hunters who had them located months before the season opened. "One more open season will exterminate the moose. Our lakes and streams, when depleted can be restocked but when this monarch of the Maine woods disappears, he is gone forever." "Deer hunters, according to his report, had a big season also. Residents of the state took out 84,313 licenses and non-residents received 2,557 permits. These hunters bagged 5,748 deer, 4,185 of which were shipped out of the state. The bear killed in Maine totaled 146, the report indicated. Mrs. Wm. Falkenstein of E. Broadway entertained in a charming manner on a very recent date for the members of the Euchre club, twenty-four ladies being present. Mrs. A. Rimpau carried off first honors, Mrs. Donahue, second, while Mrs. Turck was awarded the consolation. At the five o'clock luncheon the decorations and appointments were carried out in the St. Patrick motif.

SANTA ANA MEN IN MILLIONAIRE CLASS Oil Gusher on Thompson Place Puts Them on Easy Street. Ashby Turner and Tarver Montgomery are being congratulated upon their entrance into the millionaire class, for they today are counting their wealth by the hundreds of dollars instead of by the pennies. Their sudden raise in financial circles has come by way of an oil well—the big well just brought in on the Thompson ease in the Placentia district by the General Petroleum Oil Company last week. The two men "dug up" enough money to buy from Thompson a one-fourth interest in his twenty-acre ranch carrying the oil lease to the General Petroleum Company on the basis of one-sixth royalty. The purchase was made only last week, and a few days following the dtal the well was brought in. Its production at this time is an unknown quantity, as it has not settled down to steady business. It is At the five o'clock luncheon the decorations and appointments were carried out in the St. Patrick motif. Judge Howard Unites Fullerton Couple— On Sunday afternoon at the home of Judge Howard of South Claudina St., Mrs. Helen Harper and Thos. H. McCarter, both of Fullerton were united in marriage by Judge Howard. The Woman's club of Perris plans to improve a five-acre tract of land recently donated to the city by Henry Nuttal of Perris. The women believe that Perris is greatly in need of a public park and will at once begin work on the project. A delightful family dinner party was held in Sunday at the home of Mr. and Mrs. John Hartung in honor of the birthday anniversary of Mr. Hartung. Mrs. Hartung arranged the affair and the pretty decorations were carried out in pink and blue hyacinths, forget-me-nots and fressias being used. Covers were laid for Mr. and Mrs. Edgar Hartung and Mr. and Mrs. John Hartung. The Yeomen are planning another one of their popular dances to be given next Monday evening at I. O. O. F. hall.

THE PRINCE STORE ANAHEIM, CALIF. ORANGE COUNTY AND ITS MANY ADVANTAGES RECLAIMED FROM THE SEA, IT IS NOW WORLD'S CHOICEST GARDEN SPOT Nature's Prolific Wonderland Described in Pamphlet issued by Board of Supervisors—Anaheim a Coming City. In poetic language, but adhering strictly to facts, D. W. McDannald, development agent of the county, has written a descriptive folder of Orange county which has been printed by the board of supervisors. From it we extract the following: The story of how an Empire was built has been handed down through many generations of Indian tradition, and the fascination of the legend leads drifts into little rivulets that murmured and sang, and the big river rushed toward the sea with its load of silt. Tiny wavelets lapped the shores along the dyke with a fond caress, and the harsh song of the tree frog made the long hours of the night seem hushed and still. A thousand—maybe a million years sped silently by, and with each succeeding season came the siren song of the murky waters as they leaped and laughed and hurried always toward the sea. There was a lurid fascination in the shifting scenes. Winter came, and the snows lay deep on the higher levels and glaciers. grim and fearful, huddled around the mountain crest. After springtime came summer's warmth, and up near the timber line deep rifts were fading. ebbing slowly way, and the river groaned with its growing burden, each wave bowed under a load of loosened earth gathered from the slanting hillsides. The restless waters piled up against the great sea wall, while millions of silt particles, weary of the long journey, let go of their moorings, dropped to the bottom of the basin, and the Empire slowly grew. see the swollen river pouring its torrent of fertile wealth on the land reclaimed from the sea, and the tree-lined limits of the Santa Ana Valley are extended—foot by foot. The waters of the far away mountain spread over the marshland, leaving a rich deposit of silt where the tules grew. Grasses came in abundance, the ocean reluctantly backed away, yielding a little more land each year. May be a thousand centuries, the valley has been in the making—and though its history lies buried in the ages of the long ago, we see it today, a glad reality. Then, animal life came, the old tom frog found a tussock where the tules grew, and from a water soaked perch, sang his melodious marsh song. Ravens wolves, with flery eyes crept through the rushes with noiseless feet. Through all the changeful ages, the mosquito sang his blood song, and penetrated every living creature with his steel shod bill. Last came man, with energy and brain—cleared the forest, driened the swamps, dcg canals to carry the surplus water to the sea, and the transformation has made the In poetic language, but adhering strictly to facts, D. W. McDannald, development agent of the county, has written a descriptive folder of Orange county which has been printed by the board of supervisors. From it we extract the following: The story of how an Empire was built has been handed down through many generations of Indian tradition, and the fascination of the legend leads back to where the magic campfires glared and bloomed in the darkness—and Indian folk-song was the only sound to disturb the quiet stillness of the long night. In the unwritten pages of the Red man's history, the story handed down from one dynasty to another, we find the entire Santa Ana Valley was one time a part of the sea. A great dyke began to form at Alamitos Bay, stretched away to the South, like a silken thread in a gossamer web. Snow mantled mountains, far away gave freely of the accumulation of the winter storms. The frozen depths that had lain locked in winters' cold embrace began to drift like a pent up deluge, a voice of rushing waters filled the canyon to the rim, and the wild murmurs stilled only when its source had worn away. The strong currents drifted not with the wind, but against it. Down in the deep-dark valley the rushing Santa Ana swept, carrying its burden of silt and soil, to help raise the valley floor. The dawn of a morrow came, the great dyke steadily grew, and the lowlying dunes stretched farther away, like the white mile-posts along a highway quite new and unfamiliar. Up in the high lands the elements warred, and the warm winds turned the snow April poppies are again ablaze on the yellow hillsides, turning all earth a golden glow. Little rivulets went rambling toward the great ocean, gossiping with another rill—rippling down another ravine, uncaring what the frogs in the coues thought or said. Long years before man came to disturb the primitive silence, willows grew, birds sang in the leafless branches, the gray wolf prowled with mooscalned feet, and time rolled on unmindful of the years. Autumn came once more, snow flakes found their accustomed haunts, and piled in deep drifts against the barren hillsides. Springtime, with a breath of warmth wooed the gentle showers, and the golden poppy, glad faced child of the sun, peeped out of its quiet resting place. Little rivulets trickled down, joined others, and soon became a raging torrent, seething with leaf mold and loosened earth. The river roared on toward the vast blue ocean, uncertain of its course. The great dyke of the Santa Ana, joint mediator of tide and torrent, smiled at the fury of the stream and held fast. Again, the gentle springtime, the velvet-coated hillsides—the summer showers, and the soothing sunshine. Our reveries lead back once more into the gathering night—and again we sang his melodious marsh song. Ravens wolves, with fiery eyes crept through the rushes with noiseless feet. Through all the changeful ages, the mosquito sang his blood song, and penetrated every living creature with his steel shod bill. Last came man, with energy and brain—cleared the forest, drianed the swamps, dcg canals to carry the surplus water to the sea, and the transformation has made the Santa Ana Valley Nature's Prolific Wonderland. Orange county embraces the entire Santa Ana Valley, and a portion of the surrounding mountains making a little commonwealth of 780 square miles assessed at $96,000,000, the wealthiest agricultural county in the United States of its size. If you will come with me up to the "Narrows" in the Santa Ana Canyon, I will tell you a story of "water usage" that is unique enough to remember—and maybe you had better stick a pin here for you will want to refer to this again. The Santa Ana river rises near the edge of the desert, far back on the San Bernardino range. Before the waters can run the gauntlet of orchard and garden at Redlands and the adjacent territory, the river has entirely disappeared, leaving only a dry sand wash, bleak and barren. Having filled their mission of administering life to the parched vegetation, the waters rise again at Colton, and are once more turned into the crying fields of corn, and alfalfa, and the Santa Ana river is only a memory vague and uncertain. The lands around Riverside, Arlington and Corona cried for moisture when the long summer months gave no rain, and the Santa Ana heard the call and came forth again to give her treasure to the crying earth. The Santa Ana range, a splendid spur of the Sierra Madres, has been chiseled in twain by the onrushing torrents of the Santa Ana, and a mighty gorge with scenic wonders, marks the river's course in its last lap toward the sea. At one time, the great Santa Ana Valley lay bleak and bare—a desert wilderness in a desert waste. Here, for the fourth time, the rivers bed has been asked to give up her treasures, and a glimpse over this fertile plain, dotted with thriving cities, towns, villages, and hamlets, hundreds of palatial homes, with orchard lined driveways, will tell what the waters of the Santa Ana have done. There is a lurid fascination in the shifting scenes and the changed conditions. There is sweet music in the Siren Song of the life giving waters, as they leap and laugh, in dulcet tones without a discord. In a land like this, the claims of friendship for the soil grips one with such fascination and power, that the eloquence of speech fades into a dull calm, and the currents of thought drift with the tide. While intensive irrigation has been practiced here for more than a third of a century, there is no perceptible decrease in the water supply; in fact, some localities report a marked increase. Hundreds of artesian wells and pumping plants add much to the county's wealth. OUR PRODUCTS The principal products of Orange Samuel Gompers has never failed to find plenty of good non-partisan reasons for supporting the straight Democratic ticket in some twenty-five years activity in American politics. Exports of confectionery from the United States during 1919 increased ten-fold over 1918, according to statistics compiled by the Department of Commerce, the declared value being $12,500,000, against $1,225,000. Imports totaled only $195,000. The enforcement of embargoes by foreign countries during the first half of last year prevented the record exports from being at least 30 per cent greater, it was estimated. Great Britain ranked first among the consumers of American candies, exports to British ports comprising 34 per cent of the total. Sacramento Valley canneries will start putting up spinach on March 9. The crop is exceptionally large. Pacific Coast headquarters for the U. S. Bureau of Entomology were opened in Sacramento last week. The bureau concentrates its attention on the study of insect pests that infect growing crops. Work in California Nevada, Oregon, Washington, Arizona and New Mexico will be headquarters.

There is an immense sugar factory in Anaheim which manufactures thousands of tons of sugar annually. Also a large beef and provision company, an ice and cold storage company, steam laundry, large cigar factory, a large brewery and Crawford's marmalade factory, which ships its product all over the nation. These industries alone employ over 1,000 people at good wages. The city has an excellent street lighting system, with ornamental lights growing crops.

It does not seem likely that any presidential candidate who says he does not know what either of the political parties stands for really expects that either political party would stand for him. A road district comprising Sacramento, Yolo ,Yuba and Sutter counties is being proposed for the purpose of connecting up the 660,000-acre Sutter Basin tract with main highways of the Sacramento Valley. Jacob Goldman, a Sacramento pawnbroker, is a sad, sorry man. He took two dogs as security for a $2 loan made to a sheepherder. Then he discovered that under the law he is required to keep all pawned goods for six months pending the return of the owner. The dogs have a great appetite, says Goldman, and the cost of feeding 'em for six months will make him loser on the transaction by a big margin.

Location of works: Anaheim, Orange County, California. Notice is hereby given that at a meeting of the Board of Directors, held on the 9th day of March, 1920, an assessment of Five ($5.5) Dollars per share, or five per cent (5%) on each One Hundred ($100.4) Dollars was levied upon the subscribed capital stock of this corporation, payable immediately in United States gold coin to the Secretary of said corporation at its office at No. 1030 West Broadway, in the City of Anaheim, Orange in Anaheim which manufactures thousands of tons of sugar annually. Also a large beef and provision company, an ice and cold storage company, steam laundry, large cigar factory, a large brewery and Crawford's marmalade factory, which ships its product all over the nation. These industries alone employ over 1,000 people at good wages. The city has an excellent street lighting system, with ornamental lights in the business district. Natural gas is cheap and plentiful and there is an abundance of pure water for domestic use, manufacturing purposes and for irrigation. The stability and prosperity of the citrus industry in the United States, especially in California and particularly in the Anaheim district is primarily due to the fact that the citrus fruit growers are better organized than other agricultural industries. Anaheim is particularly well equipped to take care of the harvesting and packing of the oranges raised here, having several co-operative associations, each with its packing plant. The English walnut has found such congenial conditions in the cool, moist climate of Orange County that over two million dollars' worth of the wholesome nuts are produced annually. Within the last few years the walnut industry has been enhanced nearly one hundred fold by the introduction of new varieties and new methods of cultivation. In the vicinity of Anaheim they are now planting almost exclusively, new and tested varieties, with the assurance of a regular income, not only for the growers, but for their children and children's children. Forty thousand acres are devoted to bean culture in Orange County and the $2,000,000 coming from this crop adds much to home life conditions and the automobile dealer smiles when the bean harvest begins.
