VOLUME XLIX CANDIDATE KENT PAYS VISIT TO ANAHEIM STOPS OVER MONDAY FOR A FEW HOURS WHILE TOURING THE COUNTY Confers with Republicans at Mother Colony Rooms, and Defines His Position on Issues of the Campaign—Endorses Republican Platform on the League of Nations, but is Democratic on the Tariff Question Candidates for United States senator have not been numerous in this region since the present campaign opened, owing to the fact perhaps that their constituency covers the entire state of California and there are 38 counties and more than 150,000 square miles of territory to canvass.

His neighbors questioned his sagacity in making the purchase as the tract at that time looked like a barren waste. Today the owner has 80 acres of fine a'dairy ranch as there is to be found in the Southland. Del Giorgio has 75 head of Holsteins and is getting upwards of 150 gallons of milk daily. He has an experienced man to do the milking and uses the latest patented machine, doing away entirely with the old time hand process. He has recently built a cold storage plant where the milk is consigned before leaving the premises for his customers, which are numbered by the score in this city and surrounding towns. Giorgio's trade has grown so large that he has to buy milk from his neighbors to help supply his patrons. Everything about the premises is sanitary and cleanliness is the watchword about this up to date dairy. A cement silo has recently been erected of a capacity of 180 tons. All the milch cows are in good healthy condition and their product is of first class quality.

William Kent of Kentville, who has represented both the first and second districts of the state in the lower house of congress, and is now one of the three candidates seeking the republican nomination for senator, was in town a few hours Monday and greeted a number of republicans at the Mother Colony rooms. Mr. Kent served one term in congress as a republican and was twice elected as an independent. While he is seeking the nomination as a republican he is not in accord with the republican party on the ariff question, which is an important issue in this campaign, especially to the growers of Southern California who see their lemons now selling below the cost of production because they are coming in competition with the cheaply-grown Sicilian fruit. Mr. Kent says he is unalterably opposed to a duty that will add to the cost of any article to the consumer. Mr. Kent is a republican, but this reminds us of the old-time stereotyped democratic cry: "To hades with the manufacturer and producer! We want to cheapen everything to the consumer." That is not a popular doctrine among the citrus growers. He deplores the fact that California growers are receiving red-letter returns for their lemons, but is opposed to a protective duty that would increase the cost to the consumers. The California grower, therefore, should decrease the cost of production to the level of the Sicilian grower—or quit the business. As his tariff ideas are not popular among republicans Mr. Kent is making his campaign principally on his opposition to the Wilsonian league of nations and to Japanese aggression. Speaking on the league, he said: "Believing in using personal influence, I urged upon the president the need of change in the original covenant of nations; insisted especially upon the unrestricted right of each nation to control its own immigration and citizenship questions, without even listening to the comment of other nations, and resented any clause binding a nation against its will to remain within the alliance beyond reasonable notice of intention to withdraw. I have been vigorously opposed to Article X the premises for his customers, which are numbered by the score in this city and surrounding towns. Giorgio's trade has grown so large that he has to buy milk from his neighbors to help supply his patrons. Everything about the premises is sanitary and cleanliness is the watchword about this up to date dairy. A cement silo has recently been erected of a capacity of 180 tons. All the milch cows are in good healthy condition and their product is of first class quality. As a side issue Giorgio raises a fine bunch of thoroughbred pigs, which are hard to beat, and they bring the owner the highest market price. A large portion of the tract is devoted to raising alfalfa. An admirable system of irrigating is provided. All the fertilizing content from the stables and gutters is piped, to which is connected a fine stream of irrigation water leading out to the growing fields of alfalfa, corn and other crops which are used in feeding the dairy herds. Some of the acreage is set to oranges and a fine crop is harvested yearly. A large number of chickens are raised. The revenue derived from them is no small item, besides many calves are sold. A good pumping plant furnishes an abundance of water for the tract. The place is equipped handily and all the barns and sheds are kept in a high state of order. Del Giorgio has by hard work built up a fine business and he says it takes a lot of hard work and extra time, but he is ambitious and takes delight in his labors. He hires five men on the ranch besides his milker and all hands are kept busy. He is ably as sisted by his wife and two young sons. The dairy products are sent to market in a high powered automobile, and the hard working proprietor and his boys are up with the lark and has his customers served long before many people are about. The thrift to be seen on this place is evidence of what a man can do with water and fertilization and hard work if he be so inclined. It would be well for the country were there more places like this one. When visitors call Del Giorgio takes delight in showing them about and for good measure hand you a gallon can of fine buttermilk and tells you to help yourself. L. A.

I have been vigorously opposed to Article X which commits the country by treaty to war over boundary lines of which we have no knowledge, and commits our heirs after us to fighting without their determination at a future time. "In as much as there appears in the Constitution a statement that a treaty is the supreme law of the land, this might easily be used as a reason for abrogating the clause of the Constitution that provides that congress shall determine the question of peace or war. We should enter into no treaty that would thus bind posterity, even as a matter of good faith, to embark in war except at their own volition. Those coming after us should not be bound by any such dead hand. "With such revisions and some others like them, I am in accord with the general idea of the league of nations: A conference where the representatives can get together and thereby acquire an understanding each of the other. We cannot revert to isolation if we choose, nor would it be for our benefit. There are a number of clauses in the Treaty of Versailles with which I fundamentally disagree. I believe the senate should have been consulted from the beginning, in which event I feel sure that the country would have had before it the outline of a league and a treaty which would more nearly answer the idealism of the president and the sober judgment of the people." L. A. PAVING COMPANY FINISHES QUICK JOB Completes Work on Westminster Road in Record Time At 10 o'clock Friday morning the L. A. Paving company finished the surfacing of two miles of paved road near Westminster, making a record job with regard to time. The work was started on July 26, and finished August 6. This strip runs from the S. P. track at Westminster to a point two miles west. It was surfaced with two inches of asphalt Topeka top Manager Werdin of the L. A. company states he has a number of other repair jobs through out the county, which will keep his force busy for several days. This work, and all work in this county is done from the company's plant in this city, which was established several years ago. This company has built many miles of Orange county's magnificent paved roads, as well as several of the splendid streets in Anaheim. The company always performs its work according to specifications and has acquired a reputation for honest and efficient service. Despite the protests of the nations that have joined the league of nations President Wilson has called the next meeting of the league for Geneva instead of Brussels. At the time President Wilson urged Geneva as the capital of the league he thought Geneva would be a nice place to live. AHEIM GAZETTE Anaheim, California, Thursday, August 12, 1920 FIRE BOYS AGAIN HAVE NEED OF A PUMP SUMMONED TO BUENA PARK, ARE HANDICAPPED BY LACK OF WATER Save Much Property by the Use of Chemicals—Fullerton Truck Breaks Down on Way to Fire—Dehydrating Plant, Warehouses and Beet Dump Destroyed; Loss Aggregating $150,000. Twice in one week the Anaheim fire department found itself practically impotent to fight a blaze because of the lack of a pump attachment to its truck, and the boys are using this as an argument by which they hope to pursue the trustees to loosen up and forthwith order a pump. The first occasion was the fire at the Randolph packing plant southwest of town, just outside the corporation, where the only water available in quantity sufficient to be effective came from an irrigation system. A few days ago Mr. Hanly was killed in precisely the same manner while attempting to pass over a railroad crossing in Ohio. Mr. Hanly, a national figure in politics, was arranging his affairs to get behind the republican nominee for president, having had a long conference with Mr. Harding several days ago. The two had been friends for many years and both held about the same views on national questions. MISS IRVINE WILL RETURN TO COUNCIL GROVE Offered Increased Salary Here, Declines to Accept, as She Has Already Signed a Kansas Contract Miss Sue Irvin who has been spending the summer with her brother, Leland Irfin and family, leabes in a few days for her home at Council Grove, Kansas, where she will teach during the coming term. Miss Irvin was formerly a teacher at the Fremont school in this city, but was called home last year because of the serious illness of her mother. Previous to coming to California last month she signed a contract to teach at Council Grove, and on arriving here was offered her former position at an advance of $600 per year over her Kansas salary. She declined the offer, feeling that ins much as she had signed a contract she was in duty bound to fulfill its obli MORE CARRIERS FOR CITY MAIL DELIVERY POSTMASTER AHLBORN RECEIVES LETTER AUTHORIZING HIM TO EXTEND SERVICE Many Streets Are Added to the Routes and Twelve Hundred Additional People Within the City Will be Served Four More Letter Boxes Will be Established—New Service to Begin About October 1 Postmaster Ahlbon's efforts to secure better service for the patrons of his office have finally been rewarded, and there is rejoicing at the post-office. For many months he has been endeavoring to secure two new carriers for the city delivery, in order to relieve the present carriers of some of their burden and to extend the service into more territory. Some weeks ago an inspector was sent here to investigate and determine the needs of the office, and the reports he turned in appear to have justified the postmaster's demand. On Monday he received a When the call came from Buena Park early Thursday morning the boys responded, although they had little hope of using anything but chemicals. The Fullerton truck also started but broke down on the way and was unable to reach the park in time to be of much use. The big dehydrative plant, the original seat of the fire, was doomed before the Anaheim truck reached it after the long run, but the boys did heroic work considering their facilities, in saving other property. This was one of the costliest fires that has occurred in the county for a long time, the total loss being estimated at $150,000. The blaze was discovered and the alarm given at 5 o'clock Thursday morning by the nightwatchman. It was already beyond control, and although calls were immediately put in to Anaheim and Fullerton, nothing could be done to save the doomed structure, along with large quantities of chili and dehydrated lettuce, garlic, orange and lemon peel and all kinds of vegetables, which was the output of the big plant this year. Combustion has been the cause of several fires in this plant previously, all of which were extinguished without loss, it is supposed the same cause brought about this fire, which proved so disastrous. It is said there was an electrically-operated fire fighting plant in the building, but that this was rendered useless in the blaze when the electric current in the high powered line outside the building was shut off at Fullerton when the poles were in immediate danger of burning. The plant has employed in the rush season, more than 100 people, including a large proportion of women and girls, drawn from a large contiguous territory, and this week probably fifty people were on the payroll. It had department found itself practically impotent to fight a blaze because of the lack of a pump attachment to its truck, and the boys are using this as an argument by which they hope to persuade the trustees to loosen up and forthwith order a pump. The first occasion was the fire at the Randolph packing plant southwest of town, just outside the corporation, where the only water available in quantity sufficient to be effective came from an irrigation plant. Not being equipped with a pump the boys could not connect with this water, consequently the Fullerton truck with its pump was summoned and arrived in time to save the building. Miss Irvin was formerly a teacher at the Fremont school in this city, but was called home last year because of the serious illness of her mother. Previous to coming to California last month she signed a contract to teach at Council Grove, and on arriving here was offered her former position at an advance of $600 per year over her Kansas salary. She declined the offer, feeling that inasmuch as she had signed a contract she was in duty bound to fulfill its obligations. She will probably return to this state next year, when, if she doesn't remain permanently, we are going to miss our guess. She is an estimable young lady, is the granddaughter of Rev. Irvin, who was a number of years ago pastor of the Presbyterian church here, and has many warm personal friends who have been delighted to meet her again, and whose best wishes go with her on her journey home. It is a delight to know this little lady, and we promise our readers that we are going to write something nice about her when she returns next year. THESE TWO BOYS ARE MAKING GOOD Brought Up Together, Now Work on the Same Truck Together Two young sprigs of gentility who were brought up together in this city, are now employed by a Fullerton trucking company, and both have been assigned to the same truck, which drags a trailer. They haul ever and ever so many kinds of things, including the common and garden variety of barnyard fertilizer. They hold the record as champion fertilizer distributors of Orange county. One is the son of a former president of the First National bank of this city, the other is a son of a newspaper publisher. The father of the first is very rich, the father of the second is very poor. The boys are near the same age, about twenty, grew up together, played together, went to school together, called on the girls together, went to dances together, swiped watermelons together, and now are working together on the same truck. The other day at Norwalk, as they were taking on a load of the hot stuff, a bull was about to charge them, when one of the boys heaved a shovelfull of Duke's mixture full in the face of the bovine quadruped, when he turned tail and with a bellow beat it to the hills. He is probably still going. We do not blame his office have finally been rewarded, and there is rejoicing at the post-office. For many months he has been endeavoring to secure two new carriers for the city delivery, in order to relieve the present carriers of some of their burden and to extend the service into more territory. Some weeks ago an inspector was sent here to investigate and determine the needs of the office, and the reports he turned in appear to have justified the postmaster's demand. On Monday he received a letter from the department authorizing him to extend the service to certain defined streets, and to put two more carriers on the job. The salary of the carriers is to be $1400 per year. This will not only extend the delivery to about 1200 people, but it will relieve the present carriers to a certain extent and give better service in the business district. Finding men for the positions is now a problem that confronts Captain Ahlborn, but he hopes the new service can begin by October 1. Wayne Baum is the only sub on the postoffice list at present, and he will be busy for several weeks filling the places of employees while they are taking their annual vacations. Monty Webb and Henry Baxter, who were on the list, but quit the service a short time ago and engaged in other business. Under the order new letter boxes will be installed at the corner of West and Center streets, South and Los Angeles streets, Sabina and Adele streets, Zeyn and Alberta streets. Delivery will be extended on North Lemon and Zeyn streets, North Los Angeles, East Alberta, East Sycamore, East Adele, East Cypress, East Chartres, North Olive, Santa Fe, Sabina and Paulina; East Center, East Broadway, Rose Bush and Kroeger, Melrose; South Palm, South Helena, Clementine, South Lemon, South Los Angeles, South Claudina, South Philadelphia, Elm, West Water, East South, Janss, Ohio, Illinois, South West, Walnut, North Thalia, Lincoln avenue, West Center, West Broadway.

The plant has employed in the rush season, more than 100 people, including a large proportion of women and girls, drawn from a large contiguous territory, and this week probably fifty people were on the payroll. It had been the intention of the management to shut down the plant temporarily on Saturday for repairs and alterations. The dehydrating plant, commonly called the "chill dryer" was built and equipped three years ago by Joannes Brothers company of Los Angeles, which operated it until several months ago, when it was purchased by R. D. Hagen of Los Angeles, who formerly operated a smaller dehydrating plant near Los Angeles and sold large quantities of dehydrated foodstuffs to the government during the war. Also destroyed were two warehouses adjoining the plants, which were under lease to the operating company, the residences occupied by Foreman Everett, and the Los Alamitos Sugar company's beet dump adjoining the entire area now being a mass of ruins. By the heroic work with chemicals, the fire departments managed to save the Scott and Frampton store, in the same block and their largest warehouse. TRAGIC COINCIDENCE Two years ago an automobile was struck at a crossing and three people last their lives. The victims were the sister, brother-in-law and grand-neice of former Governor J. Frank Hanly of Indiana, once prohibition candidate for president of the United States.

Johnny Walls was much distressed on a recent morning when he went out into the backyard of his home and found some one had maliciously chopped and crushed seven fine rabbits and had stolen the same number of chickens.

Hargrave of Puente were united in marriage in the presence of more than a hundred invited guests, Dr. Harry White of Fresno, formerly pastor of the church here, performing the ceremony. Mrs. Paul Casen, a Pomona college classmate of the bride, acted as bridesmaid, while Harold Goodale was the groom's best man. The wedding march from Lohengrin was played by Miss Ruth Armstrong of Santa Ana as the bridal party entered the church, little Miss Margaret Milliken as ringbearer preceding the party. After the ceremony an informal reception was held and refreshments served, during which the bride and groom shipped away and departed on their honeymoon.

HEAVY INCREASE IN ANAHEIM'S ASSESSMENT City Clerk Merritt's Figures Show Remarkable Growth During Year City Clerk Merritt's figures of the city's assessment for 1920-1921, shows a gratifying increase of $685,235, or almost 30 per cent over that of the previous year. There are no inflated values in these figures. They merely represent a conservative assessment of the property, real and personal, in the city, and show a heavy increase in both real estate and personal property. Owing to our extremely small area the acreage of citrus property inside the corporation is insignificant, consequently these figures are not due to the remarkable advance in the prices of orange land. The figures are: Total Assessment 1920 to 1921 ... $3,120,725 1919 to 1920 ... $2,435,490 Increase ... $.685,235 Classified Increase Improvements ... $207,055 Real Estate ... $190,370 Personal Property ... $287,810 Total Increase ... $685,235 Classified Assessment Improvements ... $1,260,760 Real Estate ... $1,289,745 Personal Property ... $646,085 Total ... $3,196,590 Exemptions ... $75,865 Total Assement 1920-1921...$3,120,725 FATAL ACCIDENT NARROWLY AVERTED Machine Driven by Capt.

Koch of North Philadelphia street had a narrow escape. street intersection Sunlay morning, which for some reason or other had been left without a warning sign. The space was several feet square and afforded an ideal place for a wreck. One big touring car hit the hole but by skillful manipulation at the wheel by the chauffeur no apparent injury was sustained, but there is no telling what might develop. Another driver going south was right on top of the excavation before he saw the danger and steered around the place, but didn't miss the big S. Q. R. store window by any great margin. Things were going along in this fashion for quite a while when a member of the police force got busy and had an improvised wooden railing built around the dugout and had several red flags floating to the breezes as danger signals. The obstruction lessened the roadway considerably at this congested corner and autoists were given an opportunity to display their skill at flivver manipulation in avoiding head-on collisions. Quite a crowd of bystanders had collected at the corner, and as there was no baseball game, some of the gents watched the passing autos steer clear of the opening, which loomed large unexpectedly as they came near it, while some of the more sportively inclined wagered small amounts upon whether or not a certain car would hit the mark just for pastime. Next to pin pool it was the most exciting thing bing puffed off in town for the time being. The apparently sandy formation of the foundation at this point no doubt caused a sag in the asphalt pacement several days so small at first, but as the weather grew warmer the sink became larger and it was finally decided to remedy the defect. It is believed that heavy motor trucks passing over the weak spot hastened its decline. The pavement is considered the best to be found in the state. What is to be expected of the lighter grade of paving in outlining districts, with these heavy loads passing over it, time alone well tell, but it is a safe wager that it will go to pieces. The regulation of this mode of traffic is a problem for the various communities to solve. There are many weak spots in the county highways, which now need reinforcing. COUNTY REGISTRATION FIGURES GIVEN OUT Third District Leads All Others With 7588 Voters Registered FATAL ACCIDENT NARROWLY AVERTED Machine Driven by Capt. J. B. Root Strikes Bobby Koch, But Lad Escapes with Minor Cuts and Bruises Bobby, the little four-year-old son of Mr. and Mrs. C. R. Koch of North Philadelphia street, had a narrow escape from instant death at 5 o'clock Monday afternoon when a car driven by Capt. J. B. Root struck the lad, but luckily the wheels did not pass over him. The boy and his little sister Margaret had just stepped off the curb and started across the street to their home opposite to where the accident occurred. The bumper on the car struck the boy, knocking him down, right in front of the machine, the lad rolling over two or three times, but luckily he escaped the wheels. Had the machine passed over his head or body the boy no doubt would have been killed. The injured lad was taken at once by his father to the sanitarium where it was found he had sustained a bad cut back of the left ear and the body was bruised, but otherwise the lad was uninjured. After treatment at the hospital Bobby was taken home and is now almost well again. The accident was an unfortunate occurrence, but no blame is attached to the driver of the car. Capt. Root was greatly distressed over the accident, and was sincerely sorry for the injury to the lad. Mary Pickford will be shown at the Fairyland tonight in "Suds" and at the New Grand Alice Brady will appear in "A Dark Lantern."
