FARMERS GO FOR GOPHERS Thousands of dollars are lost to Orange county orchardists and farmers through damage done by the gophers and squirrels. Dozens of trees and acres of grain or other crops are the annual toll. A series of field demonstrations and illustrated lectures have been arranged by the Farm Bureau to show and explain the best methods of poisoning, gassing and trapping of gophers and squirrels. W. C. Jacobsen, Superintendent of Rodent Control for California will speak at these meetings. Mr. Garlough with the U.S. Biological Survey will also be present. Methods of treating damaged trees will be discussed. Every farmer is urged to attend one of these meetings. Thursday, March 17th 10 a.m., McClellan Ranch. Local Notes Sentiment for the construction of a public swimming pool in Fullerton is growing rapidly. For the past two years, the high school students have been trying to secure a plunge for the school but their efforts have made no headway. City Marshal Ed Thwing is the latest supporter of the proposition. The marshal believes that a plunge would aid in keeping the boys out of trouble by giving them a place to spend their surplus time and energy. The Garden Grove City Water Company operating in Garden Grove, reports to the Railroad Commission for the year 1920 that its operating revenue was $2111.79; operating expenses $1499.95, giving a net operating revenue of $611.84. Interest, rent and other deductions totaled $363.13. The net corporate income for the year was $248.71. The deficit at the beginning of the year amounted to $760.48. The accumulated deficit at the end of the year amounted to $511.77. Important developments in connection with the so-called boys' theft club at Fullerton may be looked for shortly, it was stated by District Attorney A. P. Nelson following a trip made by him to that city. The exact nature of the promised developments was not diverged by Nelson, who said, however, that investigations at Fullerton have led to the belief that the seventeen boys involved may have been the tools of certain older persons. Nelson indicated that the investigation of every possible angle in the case would be prosecuted vigorously. IN MEMORIAM In fond remembrance of my dearly beloved husband, John Hahn, who died on March 3, 1917, left us for the unknown land, but his memory is ever with us. ISABELLA HAHN Some weeks ago we mentioned that Tom Baxter, formerly of this city, had sold his newspaper plant at Breckenridge, Texas for $30,000 cash, but that he still owned an apartment house that was paying him $600 a month. These properties were the profits from a year's labor in the mushroom oil town. Last Thursday a fire swept over the business section of Breckenridge, destroying the newspaper plant and Tom's apartment house. There was no insurance as the town is so saturated with oil that the companies decline to take risks. Audubon Valjean, also a former Anaheimer was employed on the newspaper. Orange county traffic officers were scouring the highways Monday for some trace of two young bandits who held up the driver of a rented Studebaker car between San Diego and La Jolla Sunday night and drove off with the machine after robbing the driver. According to word received here from the San Diego police department, both of the bandits were described as being between 22 and 24 years of age and 6 feet tall. Both wore caps. The car was a seven passenger Studebaker, 1921 license number 368-680. The holdup occurred about 11:15 and the bandits were reported as coming in this direction. Placentia is petitioning for incorporation and the hearing will come Mike Callahan, who was given a preliminary hearing before Justice of the Peace Cox last Friday and bound over to the Superior court on a charge of having passed a worthless check for $15 on the Salvation Army, came before Judge Williams Monday for arraignment. Owing to the absence of the defendant's attorney, W.F. Menton, the arraignment was continued until next Wednesday morning at 9 o'clock. At the request of District Attorney A. P. Nelson the defendant's bond was raised from $300 to $1000. Callahan, authorities say, is an exconvict, having served three years at the state prison at Jefferson City, Mo., for forgery and larceny. An epidemic of fictitious check passing is sweeping California as well as other states. C.S.Morrill, state supt. of criminal identifications declared: "California is being covered with worthless checks and business is being seriously hurt as a result," said Morrill. "Since the first of February one city reported 75 fictitious checks under investigation by the police. A greater number of smaller checks are not made public by merchants, either through efforts to collect on them or to keep others from knowing that they have been fooled." The merchants themselves are to blame. Business conditions are such that they are eager for business and do not take precautions in the sale of merchandise. They make it easy for the worthless check passer by their readiness to recognize the check. They are willing to take a chance, but business is suffering because of such chance taking." A large number of fictitious check artists are women, says Morrill. Young men are also responsible for much of the worthless paper. Morrill urges all mer- Attorney A. P. Nelson following a trip made by him to that city. The exact nature of the promised developments was not divulged by Nelson, who said, however, that investigations at Fullerton have led to the belief that the seventeen boys involved may have been the tools of certain older persons. Nelson indicated that the investigation of every possible angle in the case would be prosecuted vigorously. The Orange league track meet, the big event of the cinder path season in Orange county, will be held in Santa Ana about the middle of April. The meet was to have been held in Orange, but the high school there has decided it will be unable to accommodate the crowd of spectators and the large number of athletes, so has requested that Santa Ana arrange for the affair. Anaheim is ahead of many schools in track work. Eliminated from the Orange league basketball competition in the opening rounds, the Anaheim school has been hard at work on track activities. The farms for winter vegetables up among the high hills of La Habra, where frosts seldom trouble, have attracted quite a good deal of attention this year. These garden spots, recently opened up by new roals, are rich and fertile, and the vegetables are generally grown without irrigation. C. L. Crumrine, manager of the La Habra Citrus association, has been marketing a fine crop of string beans since Christmas from leased land, and has realized about $1700 from the crop. Others have peas and new potatoes, and there are a few larger holdings of sub-tropical fruits. G. W. Beck is raising Jap persimmons and avocados from the seed, and will plant his nine acres in choice fruit as soon as the land is ready. Dr. H. A. Berge, chiropractor, who is serving a 90-day sentence in the county jail on a charge of practicing his profession without a license from the state board of medical examiners receives more mail daily than all other prisoners combined. According to Sheriff Jackson Berge gets as many as 20 letters a day, sometimes more. They come from all parts of the country. Addresses on the outside of most of the envelopes indicate that the letters are from sympathizing chiropractors, who have been informed of Berge's confinement through a chiropractors' publication. One post according to word received here from the San Diego police department, both of the bandits were described as being between 22 and 24 years of age and 6 feet tall. Both wore caps. The car was a seven passenger Studebaker, 1921 license number 368-680. The holdup occurred about 11:15 and the bandits were reported as coming in this direction. Placentia is petitioning for incorporation and the hearing will come up before the supervisors on March, 15. The proposed boundaries include the Placentia and Richfield school districts, running north almost to Lofteus station, south to Orangethorpe avenue, west to the Fullerton line and east to include Richfield. The territory included has an assessal valuation of eight million dollars and pays a road tax of $32,000 this year. It was at first intended to take in only the Placentia school district, but the people of Richfield, almost unanimously, signed a petition, or application, asking to be included in the incorporation. Ansewering a suit brought by Dr. J. W. Utter of Anabeim against J. M. Tidwell and his wife Emma Tidwell, to collect $475 alleged to be due for medical services rendered the latter, the defendant filed papers denying that they promised or agreed to pay Dr. Uaaer any such amount. The defendants admit that Dr. Utter did perform an operation upon Mrs. Tidwell, but assert that by reason of gross alleged negligence, ignorance and carelessness in diagnosing the case and in the performance of his services damaged each of the defendants in a sum exceeding the amount of the alleged claim of the plaintiff. Mr. and Mrs. Tidwell ask the court to allow the physician nothing upon his action for $475 or for cost of the suit. Another Standard Oil Company gusher came in at Huntington Beach Wednesday afternoon, when Standard A-4 began flowing at an estimated production of 5000 barrels a day. The well was brought in at 3130 feet. It is an offset of the Texcal well, is located north of reservoir Hill, near the Westminister road and about fifty feet from the Texcal well. The Texcal is now redrilling at a depth of 1700 feet. This makes the third well in the Huntington Beach field now flowing, the others being A-1 and A-2, all owned by the Standard Oil Company. The Big Bolsa Chica well is being cleaned Business conditions are such that they are eager for business and do not take precautions in the sale of merchandise. They make it easy for worthless check passer by their readiness to recognize the check. They are willing to take a chance, but business is suffering because of such chance taking." A large number of fictitious check artists are women, says Morrill. Young men are also responsible for much of the worthless paper. Morrill urges all merchants to force persons presenting checks to identify themselves before accepting checks. That tyranny was a keynote of home rule in the domicile maintained by Henry Chemnitzer was the substance of charges included in a complaint for separate maintenance filed in superior court by Mrs. Grace Chemnitzer. The plaintiff declares that an ultimatum by which she was not to leave home under any conditions during her husband's absence and that she could only leave then after permission had been asked and a "pass" granted, was issued to her by Chemnitzer. According to the document the couple were married in May 1916 and separated in October, 1920. It was after the separation, Mrs. Chemnitzer alleges, that she attempted to effect a reconciliation and was met with the alleged conditions under which they would resume marital relations. The original cause of the separation, it is said, resulted from an altercation in which Chemnitzer is alleged to have told his wife to return to her mother, as he wished to be free to do as he pleased. A property settlement controversy is also indicated in the complaint. The plaintiff asserts that a month after their separation the husband came after her and induced her to sign unfair division of the community holdings. NOTICE TO CREDITORS ESTATE OF B. W.

Fee and Scott, with F. S. McGinnis, general passenger agent for the Southern Pacific, were guests of L. B. Valla, district freight and passenger agent for the railroad at Santa Ana. The party had luncheon at St. Ann's Inn. Following the automobile ride, Fee and Scott admitted that they had heard a great deal of the wealth of Orange county, but that they had not had a full conception of its vast resources until they saw them at first hand.
