Anaheim Gazette ESTABLISHED 1870 ISSUED EVERY THURSDAY Henry Kuchel, Editor and Proprietor SUBSCRIPTION PER YEAR ... $1.50 SIX MONTHS ... $1.00 THREE MONTHS ... $ .50 Entered at the Anaheim Postoffice as second-class matter OFFICIAL CITY PAPER The Olive Petroleum company is making preparations to abandon its wildcat well. Drilled to 3625 feet, the formation shaded off into a shale that appeared to be burned out and gave the appearance that oil was present at one time, but not now. All indications were carefully studied, and, taking everything into consideration, continuance of drilling was not warranted. Between 3000 and 3500 feet a number of gas showings were noted, but at no time did the well show any oil sand. Messrs. Alexander & Salisbury, of Los Angeles, have purchased the Cherry Blossom and opened it again for business Saturday morning. The place has been remodeled and a fresh stock of confectionery of a high grade has been put in. A man who is an artist at mixing soft drinks will be in charge of that department. Under the new management the Cherry Blossom will be a first-class establishment, as Messrs. Alexander & Salisbury thoroughly understand the business. The Hacienda Country club golf course is rapidly nearing completion. Ten putting greens have been planted with specially selected grass seeds and the course planted with Bermuda grass. The water system for the first entrance to Newport harbor will be completed within three months, and vessels drawing up to 20 feet of water may then enter the port in safety at high tide, according to reports on file with the county harbor commission today. Within two months, it is announced Contractor W. M. Ledbetter will have completed his extension to the jetty, making it 2100 feet long, and the dredging will require probably a month longer. The dredge is now working at the entrance and will gradually work outward, finishing its work after the danger from summer swell is past. At the beginning of this month, $131,181.67 remained in the county's $500,000 harbor fund to complete the development work, according to monthly report of the harbor commission. Arraigned in the justice court at Santa Ana on two separate charges, R. C. Worsdell was a prisoner in the county jail today in default of $1000 bail. His preliminary hearings are set for August 26 at 2 and 3 p.m. One complaint was sworn to by W. A. Goodwin, of Fullerton, who charges Wordsell with embezzlement of one unit of the Eden Syndicate, valued at $260. The alleged offense was committed at Huntington Beach August 29. The other complaint is sworn to by E. S. Scales, of Brea, and charges the defendant with passing a check for $164.78 with intent to defraud. It was drawn on tht Huntington Beach branch of the Los Angeles Trust and Savings bank. Wordsell was arrested in Los Angeles on the strength of a circular sent out by Marshal Sam Jernigan. Not until next January will the Orange County Farmers' Mutual Fire Insurance company be able to take advantage of the new state law under which such fire insurance companies may write policies up to $6000.

Ten putting greens have been planted with specially selected grass seeds and the course planted with Bermuda grass. The water system for the first nine holes has been installed and the sprinkling of the greens and course is being kept up this summer, both during the day and the night. President Bee of the club, states that it is the present intention to hold a general jollification meeting of members and friends early in September, when the course will be opened. Assessment rolls for the city of Orange for the fiscal 1921-22 total $4,460,333, an increase of $518,790 over last year, City Clerk White announced. The books were presented to the Orange board of trustees at its meeting Monday, when protests were heard for the balance of the week, he said. Very little increase has been made in the assessment of personal property, according to comparative figures. The figures show that approximately $500,000 is taken up by assessment on new building operations, leaving the balance of $18,790 to be distributed on real estate and personal property. One thousand people attended the barbecue given by the Northam division of the Standard Oil company in the big eucalyptus grove on the Emery lease. During the afternoon there were varied sports including a tug of war, boxing and wrestling and races. Elmer Follis, of Buena Park, was victor in a boxing match and Bud Childers won the boys race. A berry pie eating contest gave much amusement. At 5:30 the dinner was served which included barbecu steak, olives, cabbage salad, bread, Spanish beans, tomatoes and coffee. In the evening the crowd motored up to the recreation hall on the Murhpy lease where dancing was enjoyed until midnight. Efforts by the California Bean Growers' association to include Orange county growers in their organization have apparently failed, according to W. C. Jerome, president of the San Joaquin Bean Growers' association. During the past ten days D. Blake Not until next January will the Orange County Farmers' Mutual Fire Insurance company be able to take advantage of the new state law under which such fire insurance companies may write policies up to $6000. Hitherto the maximum amount of a policy that the state law allowed a county mutual was $4500. The new law went into effect July 30. The reason why the Orange county association cannot write the larger policy now is that the association has a by-law coinciding with the former state law, placing the maximum policy at $4500. That by-law cannot be removed excepting at a meeting of the stockholders of the association. The directors of the association considered the advisability of calling a meeting of the stockholders in order to make the change in the by-laws, but concluded to wait until the annual meeting the second Monday in January. Attorneys in the civil action brought by Elsie Semrau, 18, against her grand father, Bottleb Meger, 71, of Anaheim, for $35,000 damages, state that the case has been settled satisfactorily out of court. By stipulation between L. A. West, attorney for the young woman, and Clyde Bishop, attorney for Meger, it was agreed that the case would be dismissed with prejudice against commencement of another action by the plaintiff. Both West and Bishop admitted that Meger had made a settlement in favor of the girl, but declined to state what it amounted to. The civil action was filed March 7, last, just prior to Meger's trial in the superior court on a statutory charge brought by his granddaughter. Meger now is serving a sentence of one year, which was imposed by Judge Williams after the jury recommended that the charge against the defendant be modified. Meger was sentenced to the county jail, but because of his waked physical condition he is being kept at the county hospital. POSTOFFICE CHANGES Charles E. Smith has been appointed to take charge of the postoffice at Brea, and E. O. West, who has been serving as acting postmaster at Yorba Lake. Some fruit is taken away from peaches are difficult to pluck more slowly be carried off.

The secret structured to half of the book of C. C.

Jerome, president of the San Joaquin Bean Growers' association. During the past ten days S. D. Pine, representing the California Bean Growers' association, has been busily engaged in signing up growers in this part of the state and he hopes to establish an office of the association in Los Angeles which will have the same function as the office at San Francisco. According to Jerome, there is no possibility of the Orange county growers as a whole entering the organization this year. Offering the excuse that he had no automobile of his own and that he could not give the work the attention that it should be given, Constable Jesse L. Elliott tendered his resignation as humane officer of the Santa Ana district. J. C. Joplin, president of the Orange County Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals, declined to accept Elliott's resignation, at least until another officer can be induced to take up the work. There are but four districts in the county, the officer being located in Santa Ana, Gardena, Anaheim and Fullerton. The head of supervisors recently appropriated $100 to carry on the work of the society. According to Father Joplin the Orange county society conducts its humane work with less expense than any other county in the state. Joplin stated that he would urge Constable Carter to accept the position. POSTOFFICE CHANGES Charles E. Smith has been appointed to take charge of the postoffice at Brea, and E. O. West, who has been serving as acting postmaster at Yorba Linda, has been appointed permanently to the position at that place. According to a dispatch from Washington, D. C., West's appointment was confirmed by the United States senate Friday. Mrs. A. M. McVeigh, who has been postmaster at Brea since May, 1919, has been very anxious to give up the place, the work having become too heavy for her. The Brea office is to be moved immediately to a room in the Craig building on South Pomona street, Brea. Smith is now on a vacation near Sacramento. A wire has been sent to him notifying him of his appointment. Smith and Harry Winche took the civil service examination in Santa Ana, July 23, for the Brea postmastership. Whether Smith's appointment received is for acting postmaster or for permanent postmaster is not stated. It seems likely, however, that it is for acting postmaster. Civil service examinations were given in Santa Ana July-23 for postmasterships at Brea, Laguna Beach, Newport Beach and Balboa. Brayton Norton, acting postmaster at Laguna Beach, was the only one from that place who took the examination. It was stated at Newport Beach that two applicants from that place and two Balboa took the tests. ANAHEIM GAZETTE marbor will be 20 months, to 20 feet of port in safe to reports marbor commons, it W.

Hitherof of a policy FRUIT THIEVES Complaints are being made that burglaries are being committed all over this country on orchards that border or are near the highways. The automobile seems to be helpful to various kinds of thieves for the reason that they can get away so quickly after a robbery has been made. This has been shown by numerous holdups of banks and jewelry stores. The plunder has been thrown into an automobile and in a few minutes the automobile is out of sight or out of the city or place where the crime was committed. It does not take long to load up an automobile with fine applies, peaches, plums, pears, grapes and other fruits and to get them out of the town or county quickly through automobiles. The question is, what shall fruit growers do with regard to this impending and increasing problem? Should the fruit grower protect his property with a shotgun loaded with buckshot? Strange as it may seem, the thieving of fruit is not looked upon by many people as a serious crime. Robbers when found carrying off fruit have claimed that the fruit seemed to be produced spontaneously without any care or expense and therefore that it belongs to the community or that part of the community helps itself. Unripe fruit is not so likely to be disturbed as fruit that is ripe and well colored, therefore exposed orchards might be protected somewhat by picking the fruit a little earlier than ordinary. Some fruit is more easily gathered and taken away than others. Apples and peaches are mostly easily picked, whereas plums and cherries are more difficult to pick; that is, must be picked more slowly and are less liable to be carried off by thieves. The thieving of fruit in old times was limited to the quantity that the interloper could eat or carry away in his pockets. It is only of recent years that fruit thieving has been made a FAREWELL TO THE MOUNTAINS Farewell, unrivalled hills. With all your sparkling rills, Whose ceaseless mirth Gave gladsome birth To golden moments and to bubbling thought. Farewell, inviolate peaks, Where light inconstant seeks Its fitful moods to show— Gray mist and brilliant glow. Move not your sturdy heart of granite wrought. Farewell, ye legioned trees, Whose myriad leaves release Life's breath to quickened air, And fill with essence rare The craving lung and stir life's ruby stream. Farewell, ye boundless skies, With all your golden eyes, Undimmed by smoky haze, In glistening radiance gaze On scenes unborn by greed's defiling scheme. Farewell, sweet nature pure, That, fearless, canst endure The serpent-lightning's flash, The rending thunder's crash, The grasping freshet and the cloudburst's roar. Farewell,—but not for aye,— I hall the unborn day, When, free and unrestrained, O'er cumbrous care my soul again shall soar. WORLD WAR MOST APPALLING Throughout the centuries to come mankind will regard the seven-year period, from 1914 to 1921, as covering and embodying the most appalling tragedy in the history of mankind. The seventh anniversary of the begin- COUNTRY'S FUR INDUSTRY ASSUMING BIG PROPORTIONS The United States leads the world in the production and use of furs. Great industries, which involve large amounts of capital and employ thousands of persons, have been built up and established in this country. In 1920 the sale of furs amounted to practically $100,000,000, and, according to the biological survey, United States department of agriculture, the gross business in connection with the import, export, and handling of domestic furs in New York City alone during 1919 amounted to $375,000,000. During the time that these great industries were developing, the heavy market demand for furs and the high prices prevailing stimulated activity on the part of trappers to such an extent that, especially in the past decade, there has been a marked decrease in the supply of wild fur-bearing animals. The recent depression in the fur market is thought to be a transient feature of readjustment attending a return of markets to normal conditions. Several kinds of wild fur bearers have been successfully reared in captivity on fur farms. The largest investments at present are being made in connection with the rearing of silver black foxes, and it is here that the greatest profits have been realized during recent years. JUST A MISTAKE Mrs. Gilbert K. Chesterton, then wife of the English humorist, was talking about the rather ultra suits worn by Florida girl bathers. "I like these swimming suits," she said, "when they are worn by girls who are beautifully built. Too often, though—" Mrs. Chesterton shrugged her shoulders. "Too often you are reminded down there of the girl who said to her pastor: 'I am afraid I must confess to Some fruit is more easily gathered and taken away than others. Apples and peaches are mostly easily picked, whereas plums and cherries are more difficult to pick; that is, must be picked more slowly and are less liable to be carried off by thieves. The thieving of fruit in old times was limited to the quantity that the interloper could eat or carry away in his pockets. It is only of recent years that fruit thieving has been made a business and that the fruit has been loaded into automobiles and taken immediately to the city market and sold and a new expedition started, thus the orchard favorably located for thieving is preyed upon over and over again, perhaps by the same individuals. The fact that thieves may be operating at the farther end of an orchard that is but a short distance from your house may be owing to the dense foliage, which is in favor of the thieves. If the judge presiding in the court deals harshly with the fruit thieves it may have the effect of lessening the injury done. Thieves should be taught that fruit stealing is just as much a criminal affair as stealing diamonds or watches or other similar property. PROPOSE CITY MANAGER PLAN Fullerton Board of Trade favors New Civic Head The Fullerton Board of Trade has gone on record through its board of directors as approving of a city manager plan of government for Fullerton, as suggested at the meeting last week by J. Chas. Thamer, who brought the matter up for discussion. This form of government was discussed at considerable length and it was unanimously conceded by all directors present that the services of the best man obtainable for such a position would be the advisable thing to do. While no direct action was taken as a matter of record toward passing a proposed measure forward for consideration of other bodies, it is intimated that the Kiwanis club and other local organizations will be given a change to express their opinions pro and con on the idea of a city manager for Fullerton. The secretary, W. M. Irwin, was instructed to write the governor on behalf of the board, suggesting the name of C. C. Chapman, of Fullerton, as a member of the committee to select a site for the branch of the agricultural college to be established somewhere in When, free and unrestrained, O'er cumbrous care my soul again shall soar. WORLD WAR MOST APPALLING Throughout the centuries to come mankind will regard the seven-year period, from 1914 to 1921, as covering and embodying the most appalling tragedy in the history of mankind. The seventh anniversary of the beginning of the world war finds peace movements with greater momentum and greater hope of successful achievement than ever before. President Harding, speaking at the pilgrim tercentary celebration, voiced his faith in the success of the forthcoming disarmament conference. Formal peace between the United States and the central powers soon will be concluded. The devastations of the war rapidly are being surveyed and rehabilitation is in full swing. A tragedy so far flung and so horrible necessarily dislocated economic machinery and put the whole world in turmoil from which immediate recovery was impossible. There had to be much agonizing, even after the armistice was signed. But the agonizing is passing. Normality is on its return march. Slowly, but surely, the activities of peace are coming into evidence and throughout America and throughout Europe—and, it is to be hoped, throughout Asia—there is a mighty volume of crystalized sentiment against warfare and for the establishment of permanent peace on a basis of justice and equity among the nations. Seven years after the curtain raised on the greatest tragedy in human annals, the world is yearning so to set the stage of international affairs that there may never be a return engagement of this terrible drama of blood, anguish, and ruin. EMPLOYMENT BUREAU The Orange county farm bureau has mailed circulars to the ranchers, orange growers and other producers of the county, also to the many industries which require a number of men, calling to their attention the employment bureau recently established by the farm bureau and the California Fruit Growers' exchange. While established little more than a week ago, the new labor office, it was stated, has already justified its existence and has seemed to fill a need in the economical life of the county. WHITE LILY BREAD A FOOD ESSENTIAL Bread is America's food fundamental and it is supposed to possess all the essentials to maintain vigorous energy and build the tissues of the body. Good bread satisfies this function but in many cases the maker places a loaf on the market merely as a saleable article and not as a food value. Purity is another matter often overlooked by bakers. White Lily Bread is a large, honest loaf brim full of the very best ingredients on the market. It is made in large, well ventilated rooms equipped with the latest in baking machinery and the loaf is seldom touched by the hands of the baker. During the hot weather we are more vigilant than ever to maintain sanitary conditions. Our cakes and pastries will certainly please. Try them. WHITE LILY BAKERY B. J. Dresser, Prop. 307 W.

While established little more than a week ago, the new labor office, it was stated, has already justified its existence and has seemed to fill a need in the economical life of the county. Many men have been placed already and the big factor in the success of the venture is that each man is personally selected for his fitness for a particular place. "Everybody is free to call on the office for help, either those desiring work or those needing workmen," said H. F. Jackson, in charge. "To the latter is issued a call for listings as it is at present a little easier to find men than jobs." "Since the bureau works on the selective principle, the men sent out are well qualified to fill the places they are assigned to, and the work of the bureau is not confined to filling the needs of ranchers and packers alone, but first class mechanics and many other trades are represented." The labor office is located at 404 1-2 East Fourth street. A telephone is to be installed at an early date.
