VOLUME L. PEOPLE URGED TO CONSUME LESS GAS SUPPLY WILL HOLD OUT IF CARE IS USED ON PART OF CONSUMERS Shortage Due to Rapid Increase In Population of Southern California—Anaheim Uses Practically 20 Per Cent More Than A Year Ago—H. L. Masser Urges People to Conserve and Stop Waste. This community has experienced little inconvenience so far from the gas shortage, the local office reporting only occasional periods of low pressure, but cities along the foothills, farther away from the source of supply, have been making loud complaints. The Southern Counties Gas Company, which supplies most of the visiting time and getting acquainted. At noon our picnic dinner. The afternoon will be given up to business meeting and with possibly a few speeches and music. If you have something nice that you think will please the Hawk-eyes, bring it along. This is not confined to Orange county. Everybody is invited. AFTER-HOLIDAY TRADE BEST IN HISTORY S. Q. R. Store Reports Heavy Business At Clearance Sale The S. Q. R. Store, whose slogan, "The Store With the Goods" is well deserved is having its Annual Clearance Sale of winter goods and broken lines left after the Holiday rush. They report a very satisfactory holiday business and declare that a most determined effort will be made to clear the shelves to make room for their new spring stock some of which is already arriving. In the ladies' ready-to-wear department one sees many price cards indicating one third, one half and even greater reductions. We are impressed that this is a most opportune time to make a purchase. The dry goods section reports new This community has experienced little inconvenience so far from the gas shortage, the local office reporting only occasional periods of low pressure, but cities along the foothills, farther away from the source of supply, have been making loud complaints. The Southern Counties Gas Company, which supplies most of the territory with fuel, is making every effort to meet the demand and prevent a disastrous shortage in any community within that company's territory. The State Railroad Commission has taken a hand in the matter, and appointed H. L. Masser to make an investigation. Mr. Masser reports that the rapid increase in population in Southern California, and consequent increase in the number of consumers, made the demand greater than the additional output. In Anaheim the consumption of gas is about 20 per cent greater than it was a year ago, and in all other communities a larger amount is being consumed. Mr. Masser points out that conservation is necessary. With careful handling and the avoidance of waste or unnecessary burning of gas, trouble can be prevented without any suffering and practically no inconvenience. Besides in conserving gas you save money. The present shortage, according to Masser, is due to the remarkable growth of this section of the state. For instance, said Masser, the city of Los Angeles used on one day this week, 62,000,000 cu. ft. of gas as compared with 37,000,000 cu. ft. the largest amount previously consumed in one day. "These conditions are applicable to all large cities within a radius of 35 miles of Los Angeles," This growing section is using three times the volume of gas now consumed in San Francisco and in fact is rapidly approaching New York city in its demand for gas fuel. "During the present winter conservation in the use of gas by domestic consumers offers the greatest possibilities for relief to this acute situation. Vast expenditures are being made by the gas companies for increasing their facilities and improving service, but, due to difficulties of construction, these betterments are requiring considerable time for completion. The Railroad Commission is carefully studying the operations of the gas companies and it is hoped report a very satisfactory holiday business and declare that a most determined effort will be made to clear the shelves to make room for their new spring stock some of which is already arriving. In the ladies' ready-to-wear department one sees many price cards indicating one third, one half and even greater reductions. We are impressed that this is a most opportune time to make a purchase. The dry goods section reports new low prices on cotton goods and the belief is expressed that the new low point has been reached. News items from eastern points would confirm this and the wise housewife will buy now to stock up her linen closet. The Men's and Boys' department has bargains in overcoats, sweaters and suits that would appeal to the careful shopper. These cold days will stimulate the demand and no doubt the shelves and racks will soon be cleared. The shoe department is humming with activity as some nifty new spring styles are already being shown. All winter boots and oxford are reduced and a whole section of pumps and ties are sacrificed at less than half-price. CHIROPRACTOR PREFERS JAIL TO PAYING A FINE Dr. H. A. Bergé Refuses To Dig Up One Hundred Dollars Dr. H. A. Bergé, a chiropractor, recently found guilty by a jury of having practiced without a license from the State Board of Medical examiners, Saturday morning voluntarily surrendered himself at the county jail for imprisonment, stating that he would spend three months in jail rather than pay the $100 fine, which alternative was given him by Judge R. Y. Williams in sentencing him. Berge was locked up by Deputy Theo ("Budge") Lacy, in charge of the jail, and given one of the separate cells upstairs, instead of being put in with the rest of the prisoners. Berge went to jail as a matter of principle, he said, and as a protest against the fact that the State Board of Medical examiners gets a "cut" amounting to three-fourths of the fine of convicted chiropractors who pay up rather than go to jail. The board recently received $150 as its share of the $200 in fines imposed on Drs. Cleland and Johnson, convicted on similar charges. In addition to the foregoing, Bergé made the following statement just "During the present winter conservation in the use of gas by domestic consumers offers the greatest possibilities for relief to this acute situation. Vast expenditures are being made by the gas companies for increasing their facilities and improving service, but, due to difficulties of construction, these betterments are requiring considerable time for completion. The Railroad Commission is carefully studying the operations of the gas companies and it is hoped that improved conditions shortly will be realized." "Owing to the above conditions it is respectively requested that during the morning and evening hours on the colder days, that patrons conserve in the use of gas and discontinue as much as possible, such appliances as ovens, large heaters, furnaces and automatic water heaters. These appliances can be burned low and run for a longer period with little inconvenience. If these precautions are not taken difficulty may be experienced in obtaining gas for cooking purposes. "Full co-operation," said Masser, "will safeguard both you and your neighbor, and result in much better gas service." IOWA ASSOCIATION MEETING The officers of the association have agreed upon Saturday, January 29th as the date for holding our picnic at Huntington Beach. Bring your baskets well filled and we hope that the big Iowa smile you carried away from Orange County Park is still there. Bring enough in your basket for another fellow. You will be entitled to coffee and badges free. As you know Huntington Beach never does anything by halves, so we shall expect your cups to be filled the second time if you want it. From ten o'clock until noon will be Berge went to jail as a matter of principle, he said, and as a protest against the fact that the State Board of Medical examiners gets a "cut" amounting to three-fourths of the fine of convicted chiropractors who pay up rather than go to jail. The board recently received $150 as its share of the $200 in fines imposed on Drs. Cleland and Johnson, convicted on similar charges. In addition to the foregoing, Berge made the following statement just before he was officially booked at the jail: "This is both a matter of principle and money with me. I became interested in chiropractic a number of years ago when I had been cured by it after I had been given up as a life invalid, and my wife had a similar experience. "Chiropractic is my profession, just as a regular physician's profession is medicine. The conviction has taken away from me my means of livelihood. Consequently I see no reason why I should pay out money in addition to having my work taken away. "I am willing to go to jail, too, as a protest against chiropractors being persecuted by the State Board of Medical examiners with the money that the board takes from the chiropractors themselves in fines. "After personally having been made well by the chiropractic system of treatment, I should consider myself a 'slacker' to the cause of progress and freedom if I did not serve this sentence. An auto service for the transportation of passengers and express between Anaheim and Corona and intermediate points via Placentia and Yorba is proposed in an application for an operating permit filed with the Railroad Commission today by F. X. Beyerle is already operating between Los Angeles and Murietta."

A man from a neighboring town came into Anaheim some days ago and accosted a citizen who, before the great drouth struck us, had been engaged in the business of dispensing liquid refreshment to the thirsty. "When Anaheim went dry," said the visitor, "I know you had in your cellar a large and assorted stock of wet goods. Now I have a friend, who is in great need of a supply—for medicinal and scientific purposes. My friend is a rampant prohibitionist, who was never known to take a drink in the presence of other people, but he always keeps a supply of liquor in his cellar—for medicinal, mechanical and scientific purposes. That supply, going to the prolonged drought, has dwindled to the last bottle, and he is anxious to replenish it. He cannot use wood alcohol—for medicinal, mechanical and scientific purposes—because it is hard on the stomach, and home brew is uncertain in its effect and is likely to cause a man to run amuck and get his name on the police blotter.

Ordinance No. 391 was adopted by the city trustees last week. This ordinance confines the automobile business district, and is intended to preserve the peace and quiet of home life, and to prevent the citizen from being disturbed by unseemly noises after he retires to his dwelling. It also protects residence districts from uncongenial smells that sometimes hover about a machine shop. Another ordinance regulating the moving of buildings within the city limits was passed, and ordinance No. 303, prescribing the duties and fixing the salary of the city attorney was amended. It fixes the salary of the attorney at $125 per month. In order to keep pace with the growth in population, the trustees decided to add another policeman to the force. A recommendation to this effect was made by Trustee Mann, chairman of the police committee, and it was adopted by the board. It will be necessary, however, to increase the force by ordinance, and the city attorney was instructed to prepare an ordinance covering the matter. Chief Steadman announced that he would appoint W. B. Moody to the place, and it is understood the board will ratify the appointment as soon as the ordinance becomes law. Mayor Stark and City Manager Steward were given full power to execute a lease on the Stanton farm for another year as the people of Stanton are taking a great interest in oil just now, and drilling in that neighborhood will soon be in progress, there is a possibility that the Gilbert farm will be in the heart of a productive oil field some day, and the city will be in the millionaire class. With a half dozen or so gushers on the place the trustees will probably be able to build that new city hall, pay off the park bonds, increase the salaries of the members of the board and reduce property taxes. Lights were ordered placed in alleys between Clementine and Lemon and Los Angeles and Claudina street.

He cannot imperil his reputation as a dry by purchasing booze himself, therefore he has asked me to replenish his stock. How about it? "When I closed my doors to the public," replied the citizen, "I quit, and ceased to touch, taste, handle, spill or give away liquid that had even a feeble kick in it. I turned my surplus stock over to government agents and they carted it away. There is not even a fragrant odor left in my cellar." Upon hearing this the visitor turned away sorrowful and informed his friend that the drouth had hit Anaheim a terrible jolt, that there wasn't an oasis in town, even the cellars being dusty. COUNTY BOY SCOUTS MEET IN CONVENTION Hold Athletic Contests Here on Saturday, Feb'26 Plans for the county Boy Scouts athletic and scouting meet were announced to scoutmasters throughout the county. The meeting is to be held in Anaheim on the high school athletic field at 1:30, Saturday, Feb. 26. Prizes for troop contests, patrol work and individual effort have been made possible through the efforts of the Santa Ana Merchant and Manufacturers' Association and by generous donations from the Anaheim Chamber of Commerce and merchants. The Cornell-Prior Company of Santa Ana has offered a silver loving cup for the troop or patrol winning the greatest number of points. There will also be a cup awarded for first aid work. Prizes will be in the form of scout equipment, such as axes, compasses and other articles of value to the boy scout. Any contributions of additional prizes or of a loving cup for the first aid prize will be greatly appreciated by scout authorities and by boys. A special prize has been offered Man Who Attempted To Break Into His House—P. O. Box of Golden State Bank Broken Into and Contents Stolen. A wave of crime appears to be sweeping over the United States like an epidemic. Every community, almost reports burglaries, holdups, and thefts and this city is getting a fair proportion, but whether the operators are home folks or aliens is as yet unknown. The work has the earmarks of amateurs, as professionals usually carry away everything portable that has any value to it. Last week the residences of T. S. Grimshaw, A. H. Witman and Dr. Bligham were ransacked and money, jewelry and clothing taken, although many things of value in plain sight were ignored. About half past seven Saturday night a man attempted to gain entrance to the home of C. L. Head on North Philadelphia street. Miss Gladys Head was alone in the house at the time, and she promptly phoned her father at the Fairyland theatre. Mr. home. On reaching home, he found everything apparently safe in the house, and taking a flashlight searched the grounds. He found his man hiding behind a bush, but the fellow did not wait to be interviewed. He took to his heels, and proved himself swift on foot. After running three blocks Mr. Head gave up the chase and notified the police. The residence of William Zimmerman was also burglarized Sunday night while all the members of the family were absent. The thief got into the house by a window. Two watches and several pieces of silver were taken. When Mr. Elcholtz and his family returned to their home at the Boston Bakery from the theatre Sunday night, they evidently interrupted a burglar at his work, although the work he was engaged in at the time appeared to be an attempt to consume everything eatable in the bakery. He fled when the family returned, and it was found that he had opened some cans and was engaged in a feast, but apparently had touched nothing but the eats. The Golden State Bank's postoffice box was broken into and riffled of its contents some time between Saturday night and Monday morning. Joseph Bommerscheldt found the stolen mail on Clementine street Monday morning. Letters had been opened and a number of checks stolen, but whether or not the thief could profit by any the trustees will probably be able to build that new city hall, pay off the park bonds, increase the salaries of the members of the board and reduce property taxes. Lights were ordered placed in the alleys between Clementine and Lemon and Los Angeles and Claudina street. OATMAN GOLD MINE LOOKS LIKE GOLD BRICK Stock Purchased By Anaheimers Appears To Have No Value. Some years ago a man by the name of Courtright, spent a few weeks in Anachim promoting a mine in the Outman district. His arugments and prospectus were so convincing that a number of people in this city and vicinity invested in the mine, several thousand dollars being subscribed. No dividends or reports were ever received from the company, and letters of inquiry were not answered, consequently F. K. Gresswell recently wrote the State Corporation commission of Arizona for information, and received in reply the following: "Name of company, Oatman Imperial Mines Company, Incorporated Dec. 2, 1915. Capital stock $250,000. No. of shares, 2,500,000, par value 10 cents. "Since that date no filings have been made. "No annual reports have been filed. "We are unable to give you any information concerning its present standing whether its shares have value, the present location of its officers, or the location of its properties." This looks like the valuable gold mine in which the Anaheim people invested has turned out to be a worthless gold brick. Anaheim Gazette, fifty-two weeks for $1.50. Prizes will be in the form of scout equipment, such as axes, compasses and other articles of value to the boy scout. Any contributions of additional prizes or of a loving cup for the first aid prize will be greatly appreciated by scout authorities and by the boys. A special prize has been offered for the best drilled troop. Points for each event will be awarded as follows: First place 5, second place 3 and third place 1. The events planned for the meet are: 60-yard dash for those in a weight class of 100 pounds or under. 75-yard dash, 100 pounds or over. Running broad jump, 100 pounds and under. Running broad jump, 100 pounds and over. Dressing contest. First aid contest for six scouts. Best bugler, blowing assembly, first call, mess call and taps.

Pie eating contest, open to all scouts, using face and mouth only. The Golden State Bank's postoffice box was broken into and riffled of its contents some time between Saturday night and Monday morning. Joseph Bemmerscheldt found the stolen mail on Clementine street Monday morning. Letters had been opened and a number of checks stolen, but whether or not the thief could profit by any of them is not known. The thief evidently discovered the combination to the box, and knew how to open it. The burglary at the Bigham home, in which Dr. Harriet Bigham lost a portion of her wardrobe, occurred last Monday evening, it is believed, although Dr. Bigham did not realize her loss until Friday. The Bigham home is at 715 north Los Angeles street. A neighboring home was burglarized Monday evening and the family asked Dr. Bigham if her home had also been entered. She said nothing had been touched. Friday, however, she had occasion to go to her clothes closet and found it had been stripped bare, although nothing else in the house had been touched. A suit belonging to her husband was not disturbed. Articles of incorporation of the Caliowa Oil company, with the principal place of business given as Anaheim, were filed in the county clerk's office Monday. The capital stock of the company is fixed at $500,000. The purpose of the corporation, as announced in the document, is to locate, purchase, lease or otherwise acquire mines, mineral claims, water rights, mill sites, etc. Directors and trustees of the company are: Walter Hartman, Stanton; Herman Sterp, Anaheim; Ernst Borchert, Anaheim; Emil Sedlacek, Covina, and F.

That a Trades Council has been organized in Orange county and is preparing to institute the closed shop in Santa Ana and Orange county, was disclosed today by a man who is declared to be in a position to speak authoritatively. The council also plans to institute a service by which members of unions affiliated with the council may place orders for their groceries and for their other living needs with their individual unions and have them supplied through the council. The orders will be taken and the supplies purchased wholesale in Los Angeles and brought to a central point here for distribution by the council, if plans being discussed at this time are carried out. A meeting of the council will be held tonight, it is understood. At that time it is expected that some of the matters under discussion by the council members will be brought to a head through definite action either in approval or disapproval of them. The council has been organized within the past month according to SAVE THOUSANDS TO RANCHERS OF COUNTY ORANGE COUNTY UNPROFITABLE PLACE FOR FAKE FERTILIZER DEALERS TO OPERATE George McPhee, County Sealer of Weights and Measures Reports On Activity In Condemning Worthless Stuff—Prosecutions Resulted In Several Convictions—Eleven Thousand Dollars Saved To Farmers During The Year. Showing a saving of $11,000 to Orange county ranchers through strict enforcement of the State Fertilizer act, George McPhee, county sealer of weights and measures, has prepared a report of his activities covering the first eleven months of 1920.

At that time it is expected that some of the matters under discussion by the council members will be brought to a head through definite action either in approval or disapproval of them. The council has been organized within the past month according to the latest information, two organizer's having been working in the county for the past few months. Dissatisfaction with the work of one of the organizers has resulted in his dismissal recently and the employment of another. It is said that 400 tradesmen are represented in the council. It also is stated that there is some dissatisfaction in one or two of the crafts and that certain union men have withdrawn from their unions and are operating independently, with the result that keen competition is developing and lower prices are being quoted for work in the lines represented by the men who have severed their union affiliations. "Plasterers are about to announce that union men will not work on jobs where laths have been put on by nonunion men." If this action is taken it will be for the purpose of blocking plans of some builders for placing carpenters at this work." It is understood that the union men who have withdrawn have established sixty cents a hundred as the schedule for laying laths as against the union scale of seventy-five cents for master lathers. "The council is laying plans for an active drive for the closed shop," said the man upon whose authority statements herein have been made. "The constitution provides that such action may be taken upon approval of members of the council. The laws of the organization give the leaders a wide latitude and if they are exercised, the community could be tied up tight if the membership of the council is strong enough to put over and maintain working conditions provided for in the constitution. "I should hate to see the full privileges allowed under the constitution made operative in Santa Ana or any part of Orange county, for it certainly would make conditions here that are infimical to the best interests of the city and county." Some weeks ago it was stated by Showing a saving of $11,000 to Orange county ranchers through strict enforcement of the State Fertilizer act, George McPhee, county sealer of weights and measures, has prepared a report of his activities covering the first eleven months of 1920. In addition to condemning thirty-five cars of alleged worthless fertilizer, McPhee also ordered adjustments made in a number of cases and was responsible for several convictions for violations of the fertilizer act, according to his report. The report on weights and measures reveals that during the year 884 establishments were visited. Seven hundred and twenty scales were found in need of correction, seventy-five were found to be completely out of order, and twenty-nine were found to be illegal and were condemned and confiscated. Two weights were sealed by McPhee during the year, two corrected and four condemned and confiscated. He sealed seventy-five wagon scales, corrected fifty-three and condemned fifteen, but did not confiscate them. He examined and sealed seventy-nine liquid measures, corrected three and found one to be out of order. Two hundred and seventy-one measuring pumps were sealed, eighty corrected, thirty-three being found out of order, and two being confiscated and condemned. McPhee recently returned from Ventura, where he investigated a large stockyard, which had contracted to furnish 6000 tons of barnyard fertilizer at a cost of $24,000 to a Fullerton rancher. The first shipment of fertilizer had proved to be unsatisfactory. McPhee said, a chemical test showing about 50 per cent gravel and sand. On investigating the stockyards, he found, he said, that about six inches of gravel had been spread over the layer of manure. In anticipation of the winter rains which would mix it so thoroughly with the fertilizer that only analytical tests could detect its presence. On behalf of the Fullerton man, McPhee told the manager of the stockyards that he would refuse to permit the fertilizer to be received in Orange county. The man, he said, admitted the process of sanding the manure, and agreed to cancel the contract. opened some cans and feast, but apparent nothing but the eats.
