CALIFORNIA FRUIT STANDS HIGH IN EAST J. ALLAN KNAPP FINDS NOTHING BUT PRAISE FOR GOLDEN STATE PRODUCTS Chili King Sold Twenty Carloads of Garden Grove Hot Stuff During His Tour—Demand Good and Prices of All Products Very Satisfactory All California products stand high in the eastern and middle western markets and dealers there have nothing but praise and commendation for the California growers' cooperative associations which have raised the fruit and vegetable standards to the high plane they have reached today, according to J. Allan Knapp, "chili king" of Garden Grove, who arrived home from his annual trip throughout the east, during which he conferred with dealers in El Paso, San Antonio, Fort Worth, Dallas, Joplin, St. Louis, Cincinnati, New York, Buffalo, Chicago and many other points. During the trip Knapp secured orders for about twenty carloads of Orange county chili peppers, approximately half of the crop he expects to market this fall. Wholesale dealers were outspoken in praising all California products and the methods in which they are marveled, 2800 acres having been grown last year. Uncertainty of demand and higher prices being paid for beets and other products, he says, has resulted in about 1000 acres which grew peppers last year being devoted to beets and other crops. Most of the California peppers are sold in the coast states, with the Mexican variety being more in demand throughout the east and south. Most of the peppers have now been set out, and the last of April will see all the plants in the ground. The production per acre looks to be exceptionally large, according to Knapp, as the ground is in better shape and contains more moisture at this season than for the two previous years. There will be a bumper crop, he believes, unless something unforseen occurs to cut down production. Knapp's experimental dehydration of chilis, he found, was not the success he anticipated, and this method of curing will not be followed this year. FAST BOXING BOUTS AT SANTA ANA ARENA Red Matthews and Earl Alling too Swift for Their Opponents The largest crowd of boxing fans on record attended the regular Thursday night boxing show at the Grand Opera House, Santa Ana, and were rewarded with five fast bouts, and one that was not so fast, the whole providing a good show, which held the interest of the thousand fans nearly two hours. In the double main event, Jap Romero of San Diego, was matched with Al Williams of Vernon, and Red Matthews, Anaheim favorite, had as his arrival. Meetings were held under the plan organized craft delegates to the seven crafts so far proposed council. The Oil worker as having 1100 workers, which are all the county and central membership of Santa Ana; these with seventy typographical works three members stage hands anditors; and the fruiterers, who are organizes. The meeting opened with a taunt of Los Angeles American Federation declared that he advisable that it organized. He offered favor of conservatives organizations. COST OF The total appress for the fiscal were as follows: 1917 ... 1918 ... 1919 ... 1920 ... Total ... The above amount for the year 1920 by $125,000,000, was propriated in two sessions of congregation $200,000,000, which will roll road bill receipts... ferred with dealers in El Paso, San Antonio, Fort Worth, Dallas, Joplin, St. Louis, Cincinnati, New York, Buffalo, Chicago and many other points. During the trip Knapp secured orders for about twenty carloads of Orange county chili peppers, approximately half of the crop he expects to market this fall. Wholesale dealers were outspoken in praising all California products and the methods in which they are marketed, according to Knapp, including the growers' consumer advertising campaigns which create a widespread demand for coast products. They were particularly pleased with the manner in which the walnut association took care of them the past season, and all felt the walnut price adopted by the association was most reasonable, good walnuts being available in the wholesale markets for 38 and 40 cents a pound. The dealers, Knapp reports, feel that California is a great producing state, well organized, and that this state can put up almost anything and sell it. This feeling was shown in the manner in which Knapp was greeted everywhere during his trip and the many courtesies shown him. The chili pepper market, according to Knapp, is in very good condition with the demand strong at the 1920 prices of 22 cents for the long California red kind, and the Mexican variety at 24 cents, an advance in each case of four cents a pound over the 1919 prices. The only criticism Knapp found of the California pepper output was the burning of the peppers in some cases, while being dried. This slightly burned product, he says, is absolutely refused by buyers, and it is most important that chili growers use a greater care in curing their product, drying it so that the peppers retain their rich, red coloring rather than showing a dark or black burned appearance. The pepper consumption, Knapp reports, is gradually growing. The California pepper output has now almost completely replaced the Mexican product. In the Texas, St. Louis and Chicago markets, the three greatest pepper markets, according to Knapp, and dealers are showing no desire as yet to return to the Mexican market, which was demoralized when the Mexican disturbances began five to seven years ago. Since on record attended the regular Thursday night boxing show at the Grand Opera House, Santa Ana, and were rewarded with five fast bouts, and one that was not so fast, the whole providing a good show, which held the interest of the thousand fans nearly two hours. In the double main event, Jap Romero of San Diego, was matched with Al Williams of Vernon, and Red Matthews, Anaheim favorite, had as his opponent Jack Rautz of Vernon. Jap got a big hand when he entered the arena and held up his end in good shape, but had not been feeling well, and Williams' punches had a strong force behind them. Williams, hoping to land a K. O. punch, forced the fighting and got the decision. The Matthews-Rautz go was a well-matched affair, with Matthews getting the decision, to the the acclaim of the whole house. But Rautz was a game, clever fighter, and, although he escaped the K. O. by short rests during clinches, he put up a good scrap and got a big hand as he left the ring. Cook O'Campo, younger brother of the veteran, was licked before he entered the ring, and got the little old K. O. in the first round, administered by Early Alling Anaheim; Red Matthews' protege and brother of Clyde Alling. This was Alling's first appearance and the fans are looking for him to develop into a fast fighter. Kid Lewis of Vernon, in a return match with K. O. Swall of Santa Ana, did his durndest, but was no match for the Santa Anan, and Swall put him out in the third. Senor Reyes, the "Texas Steer," took the decision in a fast three-round curtain raiser with Young Dios. A ripping good extra bout of two rounds was put on by the Daily brothers of Santa Ana, aged 13 and 14. This was fast and a draw. Young "Benny Leonard" challenged the winner. Another good series of events has been booked for tonight's show by Managers C. I. McCoy and C. G. Wilford, as announced last Thursday night. The double main event will show Paddy Dillon, boxing instructor of Santa Ana, vs. Kid Rubio of Riverside, and Red Matthews matched with Jack Olivarri of Vernon.

The pepper consumption, Knapp reports, is gradually growing. The California pepper output has now almost completely replaced the Mexican product in the Texas, St. Louis and Chicago markets, the three greatest pepper markets, according to Knapp, and dealers are showing no desire as yet to return to the Mexican market, which was demoralized when the Mexican disturbances began five to seven years ago. Since that time California has increased pepper acreage, drying facilities, etc., until now this state is in a position to supply the entire demand, so that no new enlargements are planned for this year. There is even a small stock carried over from last year which will last until the 1920 pepper harvest which begins around October 1 nad lasts from three to four months. The California supply, dealers said, is more reliable than that from Mexico and quality considered, they had rather continue buying from this state rather than return to buying the Mexican product. There was a request on the part of some buyers, Knapp found, that the unstable stems and seeds be removed from their peppers, in order to save on freight charges, and Knapp is anticipating preparing some of his output in this way during the 1920 season. The stems will be removed by hand, and the seeds, he said, he expects can be taken out by machinery. Knapp expects to ship around forty cars of peppers this year and estimates the total shipment from the Garden Grove district will be approximately 70 to 80 cars. There will be in Orange county, he estimates, approximately 1800 acres of Mexican chilis grown this year and 700 acres of the long red California. The California acreage is about the same, but the Mexican pepper acreage is reduc- Another good series of events has been booked for tonight's show by Managers C. I. McCoy and C. G. Wilford, as announced last Thursday night. The double main event will show Paddy Dillon, boxing instructor of Santa Ana, vs. Kid Rubio of Riverside, and Red Matthews matched with Jack Olivarri of Vernon. Rubio has won quite a reputation up around Riverside and his go with Dillon is expected to be a humdinger. Everybody knows what Red can do, and will be interested in seeing how Olivarri stands against him in the Vernon boy's first appearance in Santa Ana. In the semi-finals, K. O. Swall is matched with Dick McManus of Vernon, who fought Williams in Santa Ana two weeks ago. UNION LABOR MEN ORGANIZE A COUNCIL Orange County Laborites Join American Federation With seven crafts represented, application was made Thursday night to the American Federation of Labor for a charter for an Orange county council. Temporary officers were elected. Brea was definitely selected as the location for the headquarters of the council. Temporary officers elected for the council were: President, C. C. Kinsler of Brea, secretary of the Oil Workers' union; secretary, L. M. Hopper of La Habra, member of the Typographical union; treasurer, Charles Stroupe of Santa Ana, member of the Painters' union. The next meeting of the council now organizing will be in Santa Ana on May 5, by which time it is expected that the charter from the American Federation of Labor will have ar- ANAHEIM GAZETTE Tractors for Rent We furnish the tractor and tools, you do your own driving.

ORANGE COUNTY DISTRIBUTORS MITCHELL and JORDAN Automobiles and ALL-WORK Tractors Corner Olive and Center Streets Phone 511-W Anaheim, California COST OF THE WAR The total appropriations by congress for the fiscal years 1917 to 1920 were as follows: 1917 $1,628,411,644.81 1918 $18,881,940,243.79 1919 $27,092,094,720.75 1920 $7,345,617,283.58 Total $54,948,063,892.93 The above amount of appropriations for the year 1920 must be increased by $125,000,000, which have been appropriated in two deficiency bills that have been passed since the present session of congress began, and by $200,000,000, which was carried in the railroad bill recently passed.

It transports you to the ends of the world. Strange countries pass in review before you. To Wales With the Royal Welsh Lady Singers, one of the foremost singing organizations of the British Isles, bringing to you the folk songs of Wales in costume And the Orient The above amount of appropriations for the year 1920 must be increased by $125,000,000, which have been appropriated in two deficiency bills that have been passed since the present session of congress began, and by $200,000,000, which was carried in the railroad bill recently passed. These amounts added to the total appropriation of $54,948,063,892.93 makes total appropriations for the years 1917 to 1920, up to this time, amount to $55,273,063,892.93. It is almost impossible to comprehend these figures. When we remember that the total amount appropriated and spent by our government from the beginning of Washington's administration in 1789 up to our entry in the World war on April 6, 1917, was approximately only $40,000,000,000, we can appreciate the staggering amounts that have had to be appropriated by congress and disbursed by the various executive branches of the government since we entered the war. Of course, we have not expended all of the amount that has been appropriated. I am advised by the treasury department that from April 6, 1917, to February 29, 1920, there has been actually paid out of the treasury by the various executive branches of the government the sum of $36,918,000,000. Secretary Glass has stated in a letter addressed to the house committee on ways and means that the amount of expenditures that may properly be attributed to the war can be properly ascertained by deducting from the total expenditures made during the period of the war the approximate amount that would have been required to pay the legitimate government expenditures if we had not been in war. The very best estimate of normal government expenditures during this period, if we had not been in the war, is $1,000,000,000 a year, or eighty-three and one-third million dollars per month. Deducting therefore from the $36,918,000,000, the amount that has been actually disbursed from the public treasury since we entered the war a sum equal to eighty-three and one-third million dollars per month, which would have been required for government expenses.

AUTO THIEVES PLANNING ACTIVE CAMPAIGN Owners Are Warned to Take Extra Precautions Against Them Auto thieves are planning the greatest "drive" in the history of their kind, according to information secured by the detectives of the Automobile Club of Southern California, and every motorist in this part of the state is warned to begin taking certain precautions at once. Confessions secured by police officials and the auto club from thieves placed under arrest recently indicate that the months of May, June and July have been selected by the theft gangs operating in Southern Motorists, in the first place, are asked to turn in their state license numbers to the club at any of its branch offices or the headquarters so that it can be placed on file. No record is available at this time to show the license numbers, and if a machine is stolen no identification of an official nature can be secured. These numbers will be preserved by the club and used in its telegraph barrage system to recover stolen cars. Auto owners are also warned to avoid delay in marking their machines with secret identification marks which thieves cannot eradicate. The first things the thieves usually remove are the motor and factory numbers on all parts of the car. Unless the motorist has put a hidden mark somewhere it would be impossible for him to identify his own car in case it was recovered, point out auto club officials. There is every indication, it is further stated, that private garages throughout the southern counties of California will be used as storage places on a greater scale this summer than ever. Garage owners who rent space to strangers are asked to inform the club of the circumstances so that stored cars under suspicious conditions can be investigated by the theft bureau. At least $200,000 in stolen autos is the valuation placed upon cars which are at present hidden in private garages. These could be recovered if the owners of the garages would communicate with the proper authorities, it is stated. E. C. Miles has sold his twenty-acre Valencia grove on South Acacia avenue to Albert Rohrs and Albert Heinecke, the consideration being $106,000 or $5300 per acre. Albert Sitton, one of the Orange County Auto show committeemen, attended the state convention of auto dealers held at Long Beach Saturday, traveling in an airplane. He distributed literature, advertising the Anaheim show, from the skies. On his return the machine landed him on the North Los Angeles street field where the planes will have a landing place during the show.
