SUPERVISORS FIX COUNTY TAX RATE Figures the Same as That of a Year Ago Tentatively, the supervisors of Orange county have agreed that the county tax rate will not be higher this year than it was last year. Although the county during the coming year must meet the heaviest road repair expense in its history, the tax tax rate will not be higher this year, $1.50 per $100 of assessed valuation. Outside of incorporated cities a tax rate of 40 cents will be added for road purposes only. Proposed tax rate items were reviewed at a conference between the members of the county board and County Auditor W. C. Jerome, who submitted an extensive detailed report as to departmental expenditures for the county for the past year. Most of the items that enter into the total tax rate were reduced. The board found it necessary, however, to make a substantial raise in the county general fund. Two matters entered into the decision of the board to raise more money for general fund purposes than was raised last year. One of these concerned the decision of the board to raise $100,000 to be used for building a hall of records. The other was necessary in order to provide money to carry on road work outlined in a budget plan submitted by County Engineer McBride. More than $800,000 is to be used in road work. A part of that will come from state automobile licenses, a part from the 40-cent road district levies, a part from the good roads maintenance fund and $157,000 is to come from the general fund of the county. The county tax rate is not to be officially fixed until the third Monday in September. It is now tentatively fixed and will remain as agreed upon unless used by the First National Bank of Anaheim, California. Also be it resolved that all previous action of the president or vice-president and secretary be confirmed in the executing of any notes or the borrowing of any sums which may at this time be in the hands of the First National Bank of Anaheim, California. Secretary instructed to notify Mr. F. A. Gillisle that certified check for $500 for an extension of time on the oil lease at pumping plant No. 1 must be in the hands of the company treasurer not later than five days from dat or quit claim of the oil lease will be recorded on that date.

The county tax rate is not to be officially fixed until the third Monday in September. It is now tentatively fixed and will remain as agreed upon unless some unforeseen changes appear advisable. School districts and special districts have until the last Monday of this month to inform the county auditor and supervisors what their needs in the way of special taxes for the coming year will be. Four cities—Santa Ana, Fullerton, Se: Beach and Stanton—have their assisting and tax collecting done through the county. The Santa Ana tax rate will probably be 5 cents less than last year for the reason that the bonded indebtedness has been reduced. With this rate remaining unchanged Orange county will continue to have one of the lowest county tax rates in the state. It is probable that only one or two counties will have a lower rate. It is even possible that the rate will be the lowest in the state. A. U. W. CO.

Said note to be in the form commonly Midnight In the light of many an August moon centuries ago, groups of Indians gathered at points along the rocky shore of what is now Orange county. They gathered, perhaps, to worship the Great Spirit. Primitive though they were in their instincts, their souls reached out to the horizon of the great restless sea, far back into the distant mountains and upward to the boundless mystic stars, seeking for an explanation of their existence, seeking for an understanding of the things about them, a longing inborn in every race that has lived on this earth. In the light of the August moon, Monday night, there will gather at a place close to the rocky shore many hundreds of persons, to witness the reproduction, so far as men and women of today can reproduce such a thing, of scenes of bygone ages. And it is particularly and peculiarly fitting that a pageant should repeat the story of the struggle of primitive man toward an understanding God and that pageant should be given at Laguna Beach. It is fitting for the reason that perhaps nowhere along the coast counties of southern California are the evidences of pre-historic Indian life more in evidence than they are along the coastline of Orange county from Newport Bay to Serra. Anthropologists have written that primitive races tend to develop strength in accordance with the necessity for struggles for existence. Where primitive man had to fight nature and work hard for food, his faculties and his body were developed. Where the climate was congenial to laziness, where man could sleep out-of-ors the year around, where food was ANAHEIM GAZETTE easy to get, primitive man's faculties tended to disintegrate. He became slothful in mind and body. Tribal instincts waned. Explorers who came first to what is now the California coast a few centuries ago found the coast Indians of southern California slothful. For untold centuries life had been easy for them. They too often had found food so easy to get that no effort was necessary. Tribes of Arizona struggled against all nature in order to live. The Indians grew up tall and straight. They were meat eaters and they grew grain for the making of bread. Along the coast of California, Indians had become fish eaters, and shellfish eaters at that. True, they did not live on shellfish alone. There were deer and quail in the foothills, and rabbits to be snared. Acorns and grass roots were secured with ease. But why should an Indian hide in the brush for the passing buck when he could doze on the sands in the sunshine and wait for low tide and get all the mussels he could eat from the self-same rocks upon which the waves of Laguna Beach and Arch Beach now pound everlastingly? Thus it came to pass that after many generations had come and gone, the Indian of California was not the same Indian who first migrated to the shores of the Pacific. These tribes that came out of the desert were doubtless strong and resourceful Indians. They were active in mind and body. Their souls reached out for an understanding of the earth, the moon, the stars and the great glowing sun. And it is the Indian aborigine who is pictured in the pageant play to be given at Laguna Beach Monday. It is the primitive Indian of ages gone by who is pictured. It is an Indian of sentiment, of one who strives IN THE ARENA Steve Dalton, of Vernon, landed with his left every time he tried against Kid Mexico, of Huntington Beach, in the Anaheim arena Friday night, but he received a punch in the jaw from Mexico at the same time. The bout could not have been called anything but a draw. The referee called the Swall-Reed affair a draw, although Swall's friends claimed he was entitled to a decision. The other semi-windup was also a draw. Young Dudley, of Anaheim, found he was up against a clever boy in Bud Soules, of Las Vegas. Soules took a lot of punishment, but Dudley couldn't hurt him. In the second and third rounds the Las Vegas lad uncorked some terrific clouts that sent Dudley running around the ring helpless. Soules would have put his man out had either the second or third rounds lasted hal far minute longer. He had a slight edge. Norman Holmes, of Santa Ana, was plitted against a clever boy in Joe Chaney, of Whittier, and lost the decision. Chaney looked like he outweighed Holmes by ten pounds. His punches floored Holmes several times, but in real boxing it was an even affair. The curtain raiser was an exhibition of shadow boxing between Kid Louie the former b ya big margin because he nearly got his man in the second round. Both boys looked scared to death. ORANGE PRODUCTION PER TREE San Bernardino and Riverside papers have been engaging in quite a discussion in an effort to discover the reason why the census report for 1920 shows the average production per orange tree for San Bernardino, Riverside and Tularé counties to be lower alive to the necessity of giving his orchard proper care. Soils and climate that are ideal for Valencia orange growing, combined with intelligent care, bring about a highly satisfactory production in the average Orange county orange grove. Taking the age of the trees into consideration, there is every reason to believe that in per tree production this county is without an equal in the world. COUNTY ASSESSMENT TOTALS $115,729,185 The exact amount that the board of supervisors will use in calculating money to be raised for county purposes this year is $115,729,185. The figure is given in the assessment sent by County Auditor W. C. Jerome to State Controller R. L. Riley at Sacramento. The assessment rolls made up by the office of County Assessor James Sleeper were in the hands of the supervisors, sitting as a board of equalization for two weeks, and then passed into the hands of the county auditor, who will have them for computing taxes. One of the auditor's first duties on receiving the rolls is to prepare a statement for the state controller. Jerome's statement shows the following: Assessed value of real estate inside incorporated cities, $16,154,490. Assessed value of real etsat outside cities, $42,770,315. Total real estate, $58,924,805. Assessed value of improvements inside cities, $9,091,410. Improvements outside cities, $12,-312,545. Total value of improvements in the county, $21,404,955. Assessed value of personal property and solvent credits, inside cities, $15,-401,150. Personal property and solvent credits outside cities, $19,999,275. These trees that came out of the desert were doubtless strong and resourceful Indians. They were active in mind and body. Their souls reached out for an understanding of the earth, the moon, the stars and the great glowing sun. And it is the Indian aborigine who is pictured in the pageant play to be given at Laguna Beach Monday. It is the primitive Indian of ages gone by who is pictured. It is an Indian of sentiment, of one who strives to understand. And all along the canyon and upon the mesas and the promontories are relics of an age-old occupation by this Indian. MOTORCYCLE RACES Approximately 2000 persons witnessed the motorcycle stunts of the Orange county and Long Beach clubs at Huntington Beach Sunday. Seventy-one riders streamed into the oil town early in the day, escorted by "Speed Cop" Melcha, and for the remainder of the day they were the guests of the Huntington Beach Chamber of Commerce. "Hot dogs" and "pop" were served to the riders when they arrived at the water front, where a special parking space had been reserved for them. The program of stunts began at 2 p.m. when the tide had receded and left a wide strip of beach available. Though airplanes were flying over the beach all day, witnesses declared that the throng of people never raised their eyes from the thrills incident to running motorcycle races in deep sand. Sweating riders, with steeled wrists, guided their cumbersome bicycles through zig-zag courses of stakes in a manner that was a revelation to spectators who had not witnessed such stunts before. The 'slow race,' lacking perhaps in sensationalism, was none the less interesting to cycle enthusiasts and laymen alike. Not content with the gasps and plaudits that solo and side-car races brought forth, the clubs staged a friendly game of motorcycle polo. The Orange county club won the mimic battle of ironmen by the close score of 3 to 2. ORANGE PRODUCTION PER TREE San Bernardino and Riverside papers have been engaging in quite a discussion in an effort to discover the reason why the census report for 1920 shows the average production per orange tree for San Bernardino, Riverside and Tularé counties to be lower than the average production per orange tree for Los Angeles and Orange counties. The census figures give the per tree production as follows: Los Angeles, 3.2 boxes per tree; Orange, 2.4; San Bernardino, 2.2; Riverside, 1.4. The reason why the production per tree of this county is less than the production in Los Angeles is very easily answered. In proportion to the total number of bearing trees, the number of trees that have come into bearing but are not yet bearing full crops is much larger than in any other county in California. The census does not show the production of trees according to their age. It does show the number of young non-bearing trees in each county. This county in January, 1920, when the census was taken, had twice the number of young orange trees not yet bearing as were counted in San Bernardino county, five and a half times the number in Riverside county, thirty-five per cent more than in Los Angeles county and thirty-seven per cent more than in Vallere county. These figures show that a very large proportion of the trees of this county at the time the census was taken were not full grown trees and that naturally the production per tree was cut down thereby. Certainly the production in this county is not lower than in Los Angeles county by reason of cultural or climatic conditions. The average orange grove is nowhere better cared for than is the average orange tree of Orange county. At 5 years of age, the Valencia tree will produce about half a box of oranges. The production is much heavier at 6 years of age, but the tree is hardly to be classed as a normal bearer until it is 8 years old, and its production will continue to increase until it is 9 or 10 years old. Soil and type of tree and care of the tree have a great deal to do with the maximum production of the Valencia tree. It may reach side cities, $42,770,315. Total real estate, $58,924,805. Assessed value of improvements inside cities, $9,091,410. Improvements outside cities, $12,-312,545. Total value of improvements in the county, $21,404,955. Assessed value of personal property and solvent credits, inside cities, $15,-401,150. Personal property and solvent credits outside cities, $19,999,275. Total for county for personal property and solvent credits, $35,400,425. Total for county for real estate, improvements and personal property and solvent credits, $115,729,185. LITTLE BEAR LAKE SOLD TO SYNDICATE Erection of a big pleasure resort hotel and construction of an automobile road leading to its door is planned for Little Bear lake, fifteen miles north of San Bernardino, according to report of the intention of a syndicate, headed by Morgan Adams, which has purchased the property. Development of Apple Valley and Appleton, retarded for the last twenty years under the sovereignty of the Mooney estate, of Cincinnati, will receive impetus by this purchase, it is believed. The deal by which Morgan Adams and his syndicate of Los Angeles capitalists acquired Little Bear lake and surrounding territory from the Mooney estate is said to have involved several million dollars. The Arrowhead Land and Power company was the agent. Little Bear lake was created by a dam built by the Mooney interests more than twenty years ago. Together with work on a tunnel which was never completed, and approximately 10,000 acres of land, it cost more than $3,000,000. The plan of the Mooney interests was to carry the water "bottled" up in the lake through a tunnel approximately three miles long to the southern side of the San Bernardino mountains, and use it to irrigate the land around San Bernardino, Riverside and Redlands. The water captured in Little Bear lake, however, came from a number of small mountain streams flowing on the northern side of the range. Because the Arrowhead Land and Power company sought to carry this water from the northern shed over the CLOSED Until Aug. 19 We are making extensive alterations and increasing the capacity of our Bakery, consequently find it necessary to close for a time.

The production is much heavier at 6 years of age, but the tree is hardly to be classed as a normal bearer until it is 8 years old, and its production will continue to increase until it is 9 or 10 years old. Soil and type of tree and care of the tree have a great deal to do with the maximum production of the Valencia tree. It may reach a production of twenty-two boxes to the tree. According to an estimate made for the Register by George B. Shottuck, manager of the Golden West Citrus Growers' association of Tustin, not fifty per cent of the orange trees of this county are in full bearing today, and the proportion that were in full bearing in 1919 was much less than it is today. The horticultural commissioner of San Bernardino county is authority for the statement that the production per acre for San Bernardino county was lower for 1919 by 138 boxes than it was in 1909. "Why has production in the interior counties shown so marked a decrease?" asks the San Bernardino Sun, and straightway it gives the answer: "Growers here have fallen behind in the care of their groves; the drop in production resulted." "So far as Riverside county is concerned," says the Press, 'the Press has no hesitation in saying that the main trouble is the acreage of unproductive groves that long ago should have been rooted out, and the failure of many growers to fertilize sufficiently and, in general, to maintain their groves in a high state of efficiency." We believe that the average orange grower of Orange county is thoroughly than is the average orange tree of Orange county. In the discussion of a tariff bill there is likely to be a very carless use of the term "raw material." Congressman Joseph W. Fordney, of Michigan, chairman of the ways and means committee, has given the term a definition that is specific and at the same time shows what a thorough protectionist is can be made by the individual housewife. The rule that 3 teaspoons make 1 tablespoon is sufficiently accurate for practical purposes, says specialists in home economics in the United States department of agriculture. It may be interesting to the housewife to measure for herself the number of cups of coffee she is likely to obtain from a pound, reckoning 1 tablespoonful per cup. Knowing how many cups are made every day she can easily compute the amount of coffee needed during the week or month. WE HAVE The Best Meats Money can buy. Fresh fish caught fresh from the ocean.
