Anaheim Gazette ESTABLISHED 1870 ISSUED EVERY THURSDAY Henry Kuhel, Editor and Proprietor SUBSCRIPTION PER YEAR ... $1.50 SIX MONTHS ... $1.00 THREE MONTHS ... $ .50 Entered at the Anaheim Postoffice as second-class matter OFFICIAL CITY PAPER TEACHERS ENDORSE ACTION OF SCHCOL BOARD Anaheim, California, May 21, 1920. To the Board of Trustees of the Anaheim Grammar Schools. Gentlemen: Since there seems to be an effort to ascertain the feelings of people regarding the action of the Board of Trustees of the Anaheim Grammar Schools at their meeting on May 18, 1920, the teachers feel, that in justice, both to themselves and the patrons of the schools, that they should give the Board some expression of their attitude, in order that the Board may know their opinion of the matter. In consequence of this following resolution was adopted and signed by a majority of the Anaheim Grammar School teachers. This action was entirely voluntary upon the part of the teachers whose signatures appear. It was decided to present one copy of this letter to the Board of Trustees and to send a copy to each of the newspapers of this city. The resolution follows: Whereas the Board of Trustees of the Anaheim Grammar Schools has taken action to maintain a high standard for the schools of this city, the paper money of the world has increased since the war began from seven billions to fifty-one billion, exclusive of the bolshevist currency, which aggregates thirty-four billions. Now is the time for Col. Bryan to rise up and point with pride. Father F. J. Dubbel, formerly pastor of St. Boniface's church, but now stationed at Santa Marie, was visiting his old friends here this week. Father Dubbel always receives a warm welcome when he returns to Anaheim. Union memorial services will be held at the high school auditorium Sunday morning, all churches in the city participating. Rev. Swindle of the Christian church will deliver the sermon, the Presbyterian choir furnishing the music. Owing to its general popularity, and at the request of many patrons, the managers of the Fairyland theater have decided to add another vaudeville each week to the attractions of that house. A splendid vaudeville night will be given Tuesday and Friday night of each week. The programs will be first class. Probably the reason they decide to hold the democratic national convention at the Golden Gate in the hope that they might be able to show Bryan the Gate.

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 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 hope that they might be able to show Bryan the Gate.

Decoration Day this year is Sunday, May 30, and a legal holiday observed as such by our by-laws, and our sister organizations in our sister towns having concluded to observe Monday, the 31st, as Decoration Day, we also declare same as a holiday, and ask that you be governed accordingly. BOARD OF DIRECTORS, Anaheim Merchants Association. By Walter Hodges, Sec. There will be a special young peoples' meeting Sunday evening at the Evangelical church. Four fine young men from the University of Southern California will speak at both the young peoples' service and the evening service. Come out and hear them. They will bring you a big and most inspiring message. Don't forget the time is seven o'clock, the place is the Evangelical church and that you and your friends and neighbors are extended a cordial welcome. The California Adobe and Cement Block Co. was organized in Los Angeles Monday, the prime movers in its organization being Anaheim men. Thomas Crawford was elected president and Hugh Crawford and H. M. Adams are directors. This company proposes to reduce the high cost of building by furnishing a cheaper material. The dawn of a morrow came, the great dyke steadily grew, and the low-lying 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 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 free 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, Santa Ana Valley, and surrounding mountains commonwealth of ANAHEIM GAZETTE 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 alowly 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. April popples 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 coulees 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 moccasined 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 assessed at $86,000,000, 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 crried 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 river bed has been asked to give up her treasures, and a glimpse over this fertile plain, dotted with thriving cities, towns, villages and harmless hundreds of petals.

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 see the swollen river pouring its torrent of fertile wealth on the land claimed 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 grow. 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. Ravenous 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 BIRDMEN AT NEWPORT Efforts to have either the army or navy departments establish a permanent aviation camp on Newport Heights on the site now being used as a temporary camp by navy flyers participating in the annual maneuvers of the Pacific fleet are now under way, being directed by Newport Beach citizens, and this week J. C. Metzgar, secretary of the Santa Ana Chamber of Commerce, expects to interview officers at the camp with a view of aiding in the campaign. Officers now located at the camp say it is an excellent site for an aviation base, being about half way between the two ports of San Diego and San Pedro at which a large number of the boats of the fleet assemble. The site was selected originally because of the navy firing grounds being directly off Newport Beach, but since the tem- OUR PRODUCTS The principal products of Orange county for the year 1919 were as follows, the total being $29,152,500: Oranges ... $12,000,000 Lemons ... 3,500,000 Avocados ... 15,000 Loquats ... 37,500 Sugar Beets ... 10,500,000 Apricots ... 200,000 Apples ... 50,000 Miscellaneous Fruit ... 500,000 Hay ... 2,000,000 Grain ... 2,000,000 Potatoes ... 950,000 Only 1671 Out of 170,000 Ministers Pay Income Tax Only 1671 Out of 170,000 Ministers Pay Income Tax Ministers are exempt from the operation of the income tax law—not through any specific exemption in the law itself but because they do not earn enough money to come within the law's minimum requirement. Out of a total of 170,000 ministers in the United States, but 1,671 receive a big enough salary to be required to pay any income tax. These incomes were not only pay from churches but included private earnings too. Hundreds of ministers have been forced to engage in some occupation outside of the ministry such as poultry raising, barbering, market gardening, etc., to earn enough to feed and clothes their families. These figures show vividly why the Interchurch World Movement has included increased pay for ministers as one of the chief planks in its forward-looking, five-year program for the expansion of Protestanism throughout the world. The average salary of the college trained preacher is $937 according to established figures—several hundred dollars less than the average annual earnings of the uneducated worker in some of the leading industries of the country. A worker in the rubber industry averages $1,526.20 a year. The average for the boot and shoe worker is $1,346; for the chemical worker $1,326.40; the silk worker $1,179.88; for the paper worker $1,164; and for the wool worker $962.72.

Naval officers are said to be of the opinion that the navy department would hardly consider establishing a large permanent camp here because of the North Island base being so close, but they are of the opinion the war department could be interested in the move and that once a camp was established it could be used by both branches. It has also been suggested that the site be turned into a landing field for commercial planes with both the army and navy having landing rights.
