VOLUME L. BUILDING ACTIVE IN NORTHERN SECTION SEVERAL SPLENDID BUILDINGS IN COURSE OF CONSTRUCTION ON NORTH LOS ANGLES STREET Rapid Progress Being Made On Big Ford Agency Building—Alexandr Block is Nearing Completion—Great Temple of the Elks Assuming Proportions of a Building, and Will be Completed Before Fall—New Apartment House Planned for Corner of Sycamore. Should the citizen who lives close in and whose daily avocation keeps him confined to the central section of town have occasion to go out to the rim of the city some day, and should there is good foundation for the rumor, as such a building would be of vast benefit to the city. Beyond Sycamore street two or three new tracts have been opened up, and building lots for residence purposes are selling rapidly. First is the Elllot-Anderson tract. This firm subdivided a portion of the Hart property. Just above Spcamore street, and as the location is a desirable one many lots have been sold. Beyond that is the Elk Park tract which occupies the Bremmerman pioneer plat, cornering at North and Los Angeles. Many people are getting lots in these tracts while the getting is good, and it is predicted that within a year scores of fine residences will be built on them. Verily, Anaheim is reaching out toward our three northern suburbs—Sonoratown, Orangethorpe and Fuhterton.

Should the citizen who lives close in and whose daily avocation keeps him confined to the central section of town have occasion to go out to the rim of the city some day, and should he take note of the building activity he sees, no matter whether he is traveling to the north, to the south, to the east or to the west, he will no doubt be convinced that the town is pulling in that direction, and that the building is more active in that section than in any other. But should he follow the other three cardinal points of the compass to the limits, he will find that Anaheim is building up four square, and is slopping over the boundary line on all four sides. Suppose, for instance, he travels out North Los Angeles Street from Center to Sonoratown and notes the buildings in course of construction. The first one of consequence is the Alexander block at the corner of Cypress, where a few months ago stood the Anaheim bakery and Mrs. Ruhman's pretty rose garden. The walls of this building are up and the roof is on, but the interior is not completed. It is built of hollow tile, has a frontage of something over a hundred feet on Los Angeles and extends 120 feet on Cypress. This place will be the Orange county headquarters of the Westcott car. W. E. Alexander, Jr. son of the owner of the building, having the agency for that car. A block farther up, on the opposite side of the street, the walls of George Dunton's mammoth Ford building are rapidly going up. This will be the largest and finest automobile building in the county, and judging from the amount of business transacted by the agency, perhaps it deserves to be. The building has a frontage of 135 feet on Los Angeles street and 150 feet on Adele. It is being built exclusively for the Ford car, Fordson tractor and Ford and Fordson accessories, consequently is being built to fit the business, with all possible conveniences. It will have 20,000 square feet of floor space. The machine shop and accessories department will be absolutely complete. It is said a man will be able to take a Ford horn to this shop, have the Verily, Anaheim is reaching out toward our three northern suburbs—Sonoratown, Orangethorpe and Fulberton. POSITIONS ASSIGNED FOR THE AUTO SHOW Orange County Dealers Draw for Space In Tents Orange county auto, truck, tractor and accessory dealers now know the position their displays in the coming Orange co. show will have in two big tents to be used in housing the show following the drawing for positions held Friday night at the A. H. Sitton garage, Fullerton, co-incident with the regular meeting of the Orange County Automobile Trades Association. Applications were on file for all but eleven units when the drawing took place. These will be filled quickly now that Orange County tradesmen have had their choice. Those who have reserved space were satisfied with their positions because they were satisfied with the manner in which they were assigned. It was purely a matter of luck. Choice of location in the tents was made by the representatives of the firms as the names were drawn from the box. This brought out very forcibly that there was considerable difference of opinion as to which were the best locations. Agents handling the same car in the county pooled their interests and will display models in a group. The units for a single display vary from one to eight, the number being taken where several agents have the same car. A. H. Sitton treated the members present to refreshments of hot dogs, coffee and doughnuts. Following are the names of the firms having units and the machines, accessories, trucks or tractors they will display. Cadillac Garage., Cadillac; Cadillac; Garage L. F. Pomeroy and C. H.

It will have 20,000 square feet of floor space. The machine shop and accessories department will be absolutely complete. It is said a man will be able to take a Ford horn to this shop, have the balance of the parts fitted to it, and in a few minutes time go away with a complete car. The cost of the building is $30,000. Still further out at the corner of Sycamore street, a great grey pile is rearing its proportions in the air, and which, when completed, will be the new temple of the Anaheim Elks. Although its outer walls are almost completeed, it doesn't as yet resemble Architect Benchley's beautiful drawing, and it will be months before it receives the finishing touches. This temple will cost $175,000 and undoubtedly will be the most beautiful building in Orange County. It has a labyrinth of rooms, the chief one, of course, being the lodge, or assembly room which will probably seat 700 persons. It has a 28 foot ceiling The banquet hall, in the basement will also hold several hundred persons, and there are several spacious club rooms. In addition to these a dozen or more bedrooms will be handsomely furnished which will accommodate visiting brothers who wish to stay in town overnight. Just across Los Angeles street from the Elk's Temple preparations are making, for the erection of a fine four-story apartment house. Mr. and Mrs. C. L. Head of the Fairyland and Grand theatres own the property, and it is rumored that they will soon begin the erection of a building that will house a considerable number of our increasing population.

The first California Valencia Orange Show will be held on the Anaheim city park site. This has been definitely decided, the city officials having granted the executive committee in charge of arrangements permission to use four or five acres of the Dickel property. No other ground whom complaints had been filed were each given suspended sentences of 30 days. The three women and all of the men, with the exception of L.O'Nelll and Finch, spent the night in the county jail. Finch and O'Nelll were released on $100 ball. The defendants were represented in court by T. L. McFadden and Joe Burke. Larry Crellin, one of the defendants declared that he was not operating a game of chance but a game of skill and as the officers could not prove that he owned one of the score of roulette wheels brought into court as evidence. The charge against him was dismissed. The raid was conducted at the instance of District Attorney Nelson, who says he is determined to enforce the state law prohibiting the operation of games of chance. A score of officers were taken into his confidence Wednesday and the raid was carefully planned. According to Nelson, it "worked beautifully." Upon arriving at the carnival grounds the officers grouped themselves in pairs and went to the various booths to play the games and secure the necessary evidence. At the appointed time, 9:16, the officiates hands on. DECISION GIVEN IN IMPORTANT LAWSUIT APPELATE COURT UPHOLDS SUPERIOR JUDGE TEST IN THE L.C.YEOMAN CASE Anaheim Citrus Fruit Association has Right to Collect Fifty Cents a Box From Members Who Sell Their Fruit to Outside Buyers—Legality of By-Laws Established. A decision of much importance to the co-operative packing houses was handed down by the court of appeals Thursday, as it involved the validity of the by-laws by which the associations are governed. This suit was an appeal from the superior court of Orange county and the appellate court upheld the lower court in its decision that the association has a legal right to collect damages from a member. The first California Valencia Orange Show will be held on the Anaheim city park site. This has been definitely decided, the city officials having granted the executive committee in charge of arrangements permission to use four or five acres of the Dickel property. No other ground suitably situated could be found at the present time, but it is probable that before time for holding next year's show arrives a permanent location can be secured. It has been decided to hold the show in May, opening on Tuesday, the 17th and closing Saturday night, May 21st. The committees having charge of the work of promoting and conducting the exhibition were selected last week. The work will proceed under the control of an executive committee of five members being George M. Ross, A. W. Reeves, Dr. H. A. Johnston, V. W. LaMont and Herman Stern. Mr. Ross was chosen chairman of the committee. Fred Backs was chosen treasurer and it is reported that $15,000 will be raised and placed in his hands for the purpose of financing the show. Committeeemen who will have charge of the active work are as follows: Admission, H. A. Dickel; Amusements, H. E. W. Barnes; awards, J. R. Carhart of Fullerton; Concessions, V. W. LaMont; Decorations, Herman Stern; Entertainment and Recception, Dr. H. A. Johnston; Excursions and Transportation, A. W. Reeves; Feature Exhibits, W. E. Alexander; Miscellaneous Citrus Exhibits, R. C. Berger; Finance, H. D. Riley; Publicity, Tom Wilkinson; Industrial Exhibits, D. Jessurun; Installation, B. D. McAlvay; Parades, Pageants and Pyrotechnics, George Prince; Illumination, V. W. Hannum. The Wayne Goble Advertising Agency of Santa Ana has been given charge of the publicity work, and will maintain an office at the Chamber of Commerce rooms until after the show. All the advertising and publicity will be placed by Goble. The Board of Supervisors last week appropriated a substantial sum from the county treasury for the purpose of helping to finance the affair, and at the meeting of the Associated Chambers, a resolution promising support was unanimously adopted, which means that every section of the county will have a hand in the show. According to Nelson, it "worked beautifully." Upon arriving at the carnival grounds the officers grouped themselves in pairs and went to the various booths to play the games and secure the necessary evidence. At the appointed time, 9:15, the officers quietly placed their hands on the operators of the games and told them they were under arrest. Some of the men protested, but there was no need for any of the arresting officers to use force. The men placed under arrest were ordered to remove their spindle wheels and to march toward one end of the carnival grounds where a dozen automobiles were standing. They got into the cars and were driven to the county jail. The men who were hailed before Cox to answer to the charge of operating games of chance were: F. W. Finch, manager, E. Bottford, Hyman Goldman, E. Murray, Joe S. Shafer, William Herman, Jack McDougall, Larry Orellin, Phil Lewis, J.Westwood, Joe Farr, L. O'Nell. Orton T.Gilbert, O.H.Johnson, Paul F.Para, S.W.Galther, Joe Budick, Bob Young and H.O.Hilderbrand. The three women, who did not appear before Judge Cox, were Nellie Gaulden, Dorothy Butler, and Margaret Haley. Attorneys Burke and McFadden entered pleas of guilty for the trio. The men all pleaded guilty as their names were called. Those who took part in the raid were: District Attorney Nelson, Under Sheriff E.E.French, Traffic Officer Vernon Myers, Lester Crowl, of Orange; Charles C.Carrillo, court house interpreter; Deputy Sheriff J.M.Gunnett, Santa Ana; Dorsey Ellis.Fullerton, Joe Murrillo,Santa Fe Special officer,Fullerton,Frank Morse.Fullerton; Newt Wray,Santa Ana;H.A.Warner,county motorcycle officer;Joe R.Fowler,Santa Ana,andO.K.Carr,county motorcycle officer. Considerable delay was experienced in getting started with the case, which was set for 10 o'clock. Complaints had to be drawn up for each defendant and when the men were brought into court T.L.MoFadden,who had announced that he was attorney for the defendants did not show up at the appointed time. Finally,MoFadden came in and who says he is determined to enforce the state law prohibiting the operation of games of chance.A score of officers were taken into his confidence Wednesday and the raid was carefully planned.

The Board of Supervisors last week appropriated a substantial sum from the county treasury for the purpose of helping to finance the affair, and at the meeting of the Associated Chambers, a resolution promising support was unanimously adopted, which means that every section of the county will have a hand in the show. As a matter of fact valencia growers from every section of Southern California have endorsed it and will bring exhibits. Demands for space in which to make exhibits are already pouring in, and it is doubtful if there will be room for all who wish to make a display. Applications will be listed, and those who apply first will be given first chance. Secretary Fraser of the Chamber of Commerce will be head of the advisory committee, and have charge of the detail work. He will probably receive all applications for space, and see that exhibits are properly taken care of. GUARDIANS OF MORALS RAID OUR CARNIVAL Bunch of Gamblers Pinched by Army of Officers Under command of District Attorney Nelson, a large force of peace officers from Santa Ana, Fullerton and Orange, raided the Groff carnival grounds on Wednesday night and arrested nineteen men and three women charged with operating games of chance. They were taken before Justice of the Peace Cox at Santa Ana who judged them according to his lights. F. W. Finch, manager of the troupe entered a plea of guilty as charged and paid a line of $500. Finch was given the alternative of spending 500 days in the county jail. The others, against The Railroad Commission gave to C. J. Crosby a permit to extend the auto line he has been operating between Santa Ana and Huntington Beach from a point five miles west of Santa Ana to Garden Grove westerly and southerly to the Santa Ana line. They alleged that the association had no right to fix a penalty. These points were raised in the appeal, in which Attorneys Head and Rutan of Santa Ana represented the association. Head and Rutan received a card from the clerk of the appellate court stating that the judgment of the superior court of this county had been sustained. The case may be taken to the supreme court. CAPITALISTS STAND READY TO INVEST IN SHIPS A group of the strongest men financially, in Southern California, is ready to get behind the grower organizations in the institution of a steam线 for the carrying of California products to Atlantic and foreign ports, according to a statement by D. Eyman Huff. Huff is one of the many citrus men of Southern California who are watching closely every development of the plans for shipping citrus fruits by water. Huff would not disclose the source of his information nor mention the names of any of the financiers included in the groupe. It is said that the financiers have tentatively offered to build or buy any fleet of ships, providing the grower organizations will insure tonnage for the fleet. They are willing to organize a company for making the initial investment and movement in the plans and to operate the fleet until such time as the grower organizations may be in a position to take the fleet over and operate it under mutual and non-profit sharing organization. The fact that business men have even gone this far is taken as an indication of their faith in the success of a movement to develop and operate a line of steamers under cooperative efforts and has stimulated... GIVEN IMPORTANT SUIT UPHOLDS TEST IN THE CASE Association has fifty cents a Box Who Sell Their Buyers—Legality Published. Importance to Packing houses was the court of appeals solved the validity which the association This suit was an superior court of the appellate court in its decision has a legal right from a member further interest in the project. It is reported that the more investigations are made the more those who have the big project in hand are convinced that it can be accomplished. The initial investment is still within the California Fruit Growers' exchange but sentiment of members of other grower associations is growing in favor of general co-operation in the plans. It is believed that with the citrus fruit, bean, beet, apricot and walnut growers' associations joining and participating in the development and operation of a steamer line tonnage, can be developed to keep the ships in action the year around—and to the direct benefit of the pocketbooks of the grower members of such associations. Discussion of the project has now aroused their forest of growers of all kinds of produce as no other suggestion ever has. They profess to see in it more or less independence of railroads and a very material reduction in freight rates. Cheaper transportation for crops grow in the state and particularly in Southern California will be the salvation of some of the industries, it is claimed. "The success of recent shipment LOCAL COMPANY PREPARING TO DRILL WELL BOLSA CHICA PETROLEUM CORPORATION GETTING RIG UP AT HUNTINGTON BEACH Has a Hundred and Twenty Acre Lease in the Heart of Proven Territory—is a Near Neighbor of the Standard Big Well, and on Adjoining Lease to the Mid-Central—Huntington Beach has not yet Drilled a Dry Hole.

They profess to see in it more or less independence of railroads and a very material reduction in freight rates. Cheaper transportation for crops grow in the state and particularly in Southern California will be the salvation of some of the industries, it is claimed. "The success of recent shipment of lemons and oranges by water has opened the eyes of the farmers to the possibilities of water transportation and there is no doubt that such shipments will increase in size from this on," said Huff. "The fact that citrus fruits can be laid down by water shipment in Liverpool at less than rail freight charges from Southern California to New York has wrought a big change in the attitude of the growers toward water shipment and has opened to them the markets they had never before dreamed of being in position to enter. "Just what the present investigations and agitations for a farmer-owned line of steamers will result in is problematic at this time, but from the general interest that has been evidenced it is believed that it is only a matter of time when either the citrus fruit interests will have line of their own or will be operating in conjunction with other associations." Popularity of Orange County harbor at Newport Bay is growing. It is claimed by a great many that should a line of boats be established the harbor would make an excellent home port for a part of the fleet, especially for the boats of lighter tonnage capacity. The necessity of organizing in Orange County some kind of association for looking after the interests of the harbor in this and other matters is becoming more and more apparent as time goes on, in the opinion of a large number of county residents. GUY DUCKWORTH ARRIVES FROM HAWAII Comes in Response to Cablegram Announcing His Father's illness Guy Duckworth has arrived from Honolulu, having been called home by a cablegram from his brother. Will advising him of the critical illness of his father. He was greatly surprised at receipt of this intelligence as his Honolulu residence. Lease to the Mid-Central — Huntington Beach has not yet Drilled a Dry Hole. The Bolsa Chica Petroleum Corporation of this city has been occupied for a week past getting a rig ready to drill on its Huntington Beach lease, and in a very short time the iron will be pounding its way down to the rich oil sand that underlies that fortunate town. The Bolsa Chica corporation is an Anaheim company, controlled by Anaheim men, and its headquarters are in the Central Building in this city. Charles A. Boege, one of the best known men in the city is president, M. C. Goff, secretary, and F. M. Abbott the general manager. Many Anaheim people have become stockholders in the company often investigating its leases and should it strike a well equal to some of its near neighbors, many good dollars in dividends will be gathered in by the local people. The Bolso Chica Petroleum has a lease of 120 acres in the heart of the Huntington Beach field. It is only a short distance from the big Standard gusher, and adjoins the property of the Mid-Central. The Mid-Central is also and Anaheim Company. It's first well is nearing the bottom, and indications are that it is certain to be a producer. The Huntington Beach field is new, of course, but it is a remarkable fact that up to the present time there has not been a dry hole drilled in the field. Only seven wells have so far reached the sand, but they are all good ones, and are yielding seven thousand barrels of oil per day. This is at the rate of 2,560,000 barrels of oil per year, or $5,000,000 worth yielded up by the first seven wells drilled. The Bolsa Chica Petroleum Co. will do no wild-catting. It will drill only in proven territory where practically the only element of chance is the capacity of the well when it is brought in. This company also owns a splendid lease at Buena Park, but it will not pioneer in that territory. The big interests will probably soon drive test wells in that section as well as other sections west of us. The Oil World a newspaper devoted to the oil interests, which is very conservative in its statements, never boosts but always deals in hard cold facts, speaks in favorable terms of the Bolsa Chica Petroleum Corporation and its prospects. The company is still offering a limited amount of stock for sale, but it has ample capital in hand to sink a well and is go- GUY DUCKWORTH ARRIVES FROM HAWAII Comes in Response to Cablegram Announcing His Father's illness Guy Duckworth has arrived from Honolulu, having been called home by a cablegram from his brother. Will advising him of the critical illness of his father. He was greatly surprised at receipt of this intelligence as his father and mother had left Honolulu only a week or so before after visiting with him and his family for several months. His stay here is indefinite, and his return to Honolulu will depend upon the condition of his father, who for a fortnight past has been suffering from pernicious anaemia. Guy has been a resident of Hawaii for a number of years, being engaged in the mercantile and shipping business. He states that Hawaii is being transformed into a great naval base for the American fleet, and he is of the opinion that the entire American navy will be ordered soon to these waters. The population of the islands is 250,000, of whom 102,000 are Japs. There are 5000 Americans and 8000 American soldiers. More soldiers are constantly arriving, and preparations are being made for a large military force there. Of the remainder of the population there are 40,000 Filipinos, the rest being native Hawaiians, Koreans and Chinese. He states the Japs are returning home in large numbers, they have made much money on the sugar plantations. Some of them earn as high as $300 a month and have returned to their island home. Not many Japs are arriving and their places are being taken by Filipinos, Koreans and Chinese. His company has a contract for supplying provisions for the army and navy, and it enjoys a large volume of business, which is constantly increasing. MRS. JACKSON DEAD Mrs. Ida Jackson, wife of Sheriff C. E. Jackson, died at 9 o'clock Wednesday morning at the family residence, 719 West Fourth Street, of spinal meningitis. Her death came as a shock to the many friends of the couple. Mrs. Jackson had been ill for several months but it was not until two weeks ago that her condition became critical. She was under the care of a trained nurse for the past week. Mrs. Jackson was born is what was then known as Fountain Valley, near Wintersburg, 49 years ago, her birthday occurring January 26. While still a young girl she and her parents removed to San Bernardino, where she met her future husband Mr. and Mrs. Jackson were married March 27, 1889, and came shortly afterward to Santa Ana, living here continuously for 31 years. Besides her husband she is survived by two daughters, Miss Lela Jackson, who lives at the family home and Mrs. W. M. Wilson of Long Beach; a brother, W. E. Cox, and a sister, Mrs. B. F. Butterfield, both of Nuevo River-side county. Mrs. Jackson had a wide circle of friends, inasmuch as her kindly and generous personality had endeared her to many residents of Santa Ana.
