T. B. Talbert was unanimously re-elected chairman of the board. The first official act of the board was the presentation to former District Attorney L. A. West of a fine leather rocking chair—the gift of his former associates in the courthouse. West was called to the board room by the supervisors supposedly on official business. When he arrived the speech of presentation was made by Chairman Talbert, who gave expression to the appreciation and friendship court-house officials felt for West during his ten years' tenure of office. FULLERTON PEOPLE IN WRECK S. W. Smith, president of the Standard bank at Fullerton, who with his wife and son have just returned from Billings, Oklahoma, where Mrs Smith has been for several months and Mr. Smith over the Christmas holidays, says he experienced the thrill of his life, Tuesday about 4 a.m. when the Santa Fe train in which they were riding was wrecked just east of Williams, Arizona, the engine and twelve coaches being put permanently out of commission. "I was asleep when it happened, but I wasn't a few minutes afterward" Mr. Smith declared. The accident occurred when a pin snapped and the main axle broke in the driver, causing the rails to spread. There was a six-inch snow on the ground and it was colder than Alaska. The train had to lay over for nine hours before the tracks were cleared and the passengers transferred. The Santa Fe employees deserve no end of commendation for the way they took care of the comfort of the passengers, however, he declared, because... The accident occurred when a pin snapped and the main axle broke in the driver, causing the rails to spread. There was a six-inch snow on the ground and it was colder than Alaska. The train had to lay over for nine hours before the tracks were cleared and the passengers transferred. The Santa Fe employees deserve no end of commendation for the way they took care of the comfort of the passengers, however, he declared, because they worked like Turks in the snow to get pipe-line connection to furnish warmth to the coaches. No one was injured. CUPID GETS GOOD START The year 1920 literally went out in a burst of matrimony, according to the records of County Clerk J. M. Backs. On the last day of December seventeen marriage licenses were issued. A large part of those who wished to keep their wending anniversary within the confines of 1920 were Los Angeles couples, although there were a number of Orange county brides and bridegrooms who decided to take the last chance that 1920 would offer in that line. The first couple to secure a marriage license here in 1921 or in other words, get a "diploma" giving them the legal right to "love, honor and obey," hailed from Pomona. They showed up at the courthouse early, before "Cupid" J. M. Backs had an opportunity to give his office the usual morning "once-over." The total number of licenses issued January 3 was five and a strange coincidence is that all of them were issued to parties living out of the county. In addition to the Pomona couple, others hailed from Long Beach, Los Angeles, Terminal Island, Cal., and Athens, Cal. Justice Col reached the decision not to hold the girl to answer after her attorney, John Richardson, of Los Angeles, recited supreme court cases to show that if the state wishes to establish the fact that the crime of bigamy had been committed, it must prove beyond a doubt that the first husband was living at the time of the second marriage, and that the defendant must be considered innocent of the crime until the fact had been established by the state. District Attorney-elect A. P. Nelson, presenting the case for the state maintained that the fact that two marriages had been shown without being denied, formed sufficient evidence to hold defendant to answer to the charge in the superior court. Bassett Gibson, the alleged first husband of the girl, is said to have a San Quentin record, and to be a fugitive from justice on a charge of embezzlement brought by a Covina man. All efforts to locate him as a witness or in connection with offenses for which he is wanted, proved a failure. After filing the complaint, Glaze came to Santa Ana several times seeking to withdraw it on the grounds that he did not believe the girl was to blame, and had been tricked by Bassett Gibson. When he appeared in court he brought with him a picture of a Los Angeles girl, to whom he complained that Gibson was also married. He did not know her name, but said she was well known to the police as "The girl of many aliases." Following her release the girl stated that through the help of Attorney Richardson she hoped to get out of the entire tangle and everything straightened out and become entirely free from Glaze and Gibson.

STATE WILL GAIN FIVE CONGRESSMEN Orange, San Diego and Imperial May Be Thrown Into One District Los Angeles county will get two of the five new Congressmen to be allotted to California in the new apportionment bill, which has been approved by enough members of both the Houses to insure its passage. The new bill will increase the number of Representatives from 435 to 483. There has been much opposition to increasing the number of the members in the lower house and on the surface there still is; but it is just mostly camouflage. Many of the states, unless the apportionment bill is passed on the basis of increase to 483, will lose some of the present seats. Maine will lose two, Missouri one or two, and Indiana one or more and members from these States insist at lease on holding their own. Thus the passage of the bill is assured. Each Congressman will represent in the new apportionment bill, 218,000 persons instead of 211,000 as at press steel freighter operated by the Atlantic, Gulf and Pacific Steamship Corporation, is the only vessel on this run equipped to handle refrigeration shipments and it is probable that an experimental shipment of lemons and oranges will be made on her eastbound voyage to New York early next month, accompanied by a government inspector to make tests during the trip. The railroad rates of $1.66 1-2 per box on lemons is almost prohibitive, as it affords the lemon grower no profit for his labor. An emergency flat rate of $1.00 has recently been asked by the California Citrus League, but it is a question whether the transcontinental freight bureau will concede the request. FARM BUREAU HEARS TALK ON PARASITES The introduction of a new parasite that attaches black scale was the subject of a talk by Earl Morris, county horticultural commissioner, at the West Orange Farm center meeting at the James Smiley residence on the 29th. signatures for the new growers association. Committees are being appointed this week to handle certain districts in the county. A meeting has been called for tonight (Wednesday) at Wintersburg Hall to acquaint the growers of Talbert, Westminster, Smeltzer and Wintersburg with the purpose of the organization. The growers of Monterey County are contemplating an organization similar to the one started here, and are awaiting further developments before starting a strong campaign for membership. James P. Britt, Deputy State Market Director, met with the organization committee last week and upon hearing the progress made, said that in his experience with cooperative organizations of this kind, no group had made better progress than the beet growers in this present organization in the time that has elapsed so far. Wahlberg asserts that this local organization is only a nucleus to a State Department of Sugar Beet Growers which will take up some of the larger problems that confront the in- Many of the states, unless the apportionment bill is passed on the basis of increase to 483, will lose some of the present seats. Maine will lose two, Missouri one or two, and Indiana one or more and members from these States insist at lease on holding their own. Thus the passage of the bill is assured. Each Congressman will represent in the new apportionment bill, 218,000 persons instead of 211,000 as at present. California gets more new Congressmen than any western State and for that matter is only surpassed by Pennsylvania, which gets eight new members. Los Angeles county has roughly 950,000 population and therefore will have enough population for four districts and a little left over. As soon as the Siegel bill becomes a law, which will be within a few weeks, the matter will be transferred to Sacramento, where the various districts of the State will be drawn in detail and provision made for five new districts. It is quite possible that Orange, San Diego, and Imperial counties may form one congressional district. The three counties have about 218,000 population, and it would not be surprising if they formed a new Sixteenth district. CITRUS SHIPMENTS TO GO BY WATER Negotiations which were begun some time ago by the citrus fruit growers of Southern California with the several steamship companies operating between the Atlantic and Pacific coasts for the allocation of freight space for lemon and orange shipments to New York, Philadelphia Boston and Baltimore, are already taking concrete form. The Charles H. Cramp, a 9000 ton continental freight bureau will concede the request. FARM BUREAU HEARS TALK ON PARASITES The introduction of a new parasite that attaches black scale was the subject of a talk by Earl Morris, county horticultural commissioner, at the West Orange Farm center meeting at the James Smiley residence on the 29th. Morris gave a review of a conference at Santa Paula, where the work of the new parasite was shown to be effective. Morris told of the plans of the state insectary, in charge of Harry Smith, etomologist, to distribute the parasites in a number of the citrus districts. The methods by which the new parasite works were told by Morris. The parasite is a small black fly, which stings the scale, depositing an egg. The egg hatches within a short time and the larvae feed on the interior of the live scale, causing it to die. The parasite is harmless to anything but the black scale. H. B. Woodrough spoke on the Farm Bureau and its mission. He told of the importance of building up a strong organization and reported the progress made in the publicity campaign in preparation for the drive for new members, which will start early in January. A musical program by members of the Smiley family was greatly enjoyed by all present, concluded the meeting.

During December 184 licenses were issued, making December the fifth highest month for the issuing of licenses. The months during which more licenses were issued were June, September, August and November. The time for receiving signatures to the petitions for a county-wide cemetery district has been extended, and the campaign for signers is to be carried on without pause for breath. This declaration was made by J. C. Wallace, chairman of the committee in charge of perfecting the petition. "We want the petition completed as quickly as possible," said Wallace. "We are to continue the work with the same corps of solicitors that has been at work during the past few weeks. Petitions are scattered all over the county. Any registered voter who has not signed one of the petitions should look up a petition and sign it at once. A little inquiry will result in locating a petition almost anywhere in the county."
