White Sox, champion colored baseball team of the world, came down Sunday to keep the Anaheim team, champion of the Elks' league of southern California, in practice before they journeyed to Santa Cruz to play San Francisco for the state championship. The colored gentlemen proved to be mighty good timber to practice with. They won the game by a 5 to 0 score, and did it without over-exertion. The game was played in the mud, and it is claimed the big feet of the colored men enabled them to skid around on the slippery ground with ease, while the locals were handicapped by the deep mud and pools of water.

It was a narrow escape and Robert is happy over the thought that the end of his finger was not entirely cut from his hand. The deep drilling on the Bixby well near Olive has not netted anything as yet for Bixby Hills syndicate. Drilling has passed the 4600-foot mark and the indications are not at all encouraging. Drilling on the National Exploration company's Olinda No. 1 is now at 3400 feet, the formation brown shale. At 2965 the National Security No. 1, near the county park, is drilling in a sandy brown shale and the formation continues to carry considerable gas.

The $1200 at the county assessor's office, returnable to aliens who paid a $10 tax under the alien poll tax law, later declared unconstitutional, threats to "go a begging." So far only six aliens have called to receive the return of their money and a sum of $1140 was still on hand Saturday. This represents payments made by 114 aliens in the county. Each alien, when paying the tax a few weeks ago, was given a receipt by Deputy Assessor Maurice Enderle, who told them to keep the receipt and present it for the return of the money if the law should not survive.

In point of volume of fruit shipped, the Garden Grove Citrus association has grown 2000 per cent in the last two years according to E. M. Dozier, secretary of Delinquent income taxes and fraudulent returns are occupying the attention of the income tax department at Santa Ana this week. Elmer B. Burns, Orange county representative of the department, having given final opportunity for taxpayers to make an eleventh-hour payment, is prepared to push the investigation of delinquent cases or those where fraudulent income reports have been returned. The income tax department expects to conduct a campaign of vigorous prosecution, it is understood. Severe penalties are attached to delinquents and still more drastic punishment may be meted out to the dodger class. First, there is a 25 per cent penalty, then an additional penalty of 5 per cent. In addition to these penalties the law provides a fine of $1000 for making fraudulent returns or for failing to make any return. Blinded by the glare of an electric flashlight, with a knife against his heart and a revolver to his head, J. Mendoza, foreman of the walnut ranch owned by Mrs. Louise Coons, one and one-half miles north of Garden Grove, was forced some time during Sunday night, to give up $200 to two bold bandits. According to Constable J. M. Clark, to whom Mendoza told his story, Mendoza was awakened in his bedroom on the Coons ranch, some time during the night by a blinding light. He felt a knife pressed against his heart and a revolver against his head, he said. Someone was telling him in Spanish "to keep still" and "bundle up" or he would be killed. Mendoza claims that under the circumstances he could do nothing but obey with alacrity. The money belonged to the ranch and was to pay the walnut pickers. Mendoza claims that he has an idea who the hold-up men were, but is not sure. Mendoza lives in a house on the ranch with several other occupants, all of whom claim that they heard the burglars, but thought it was just someone of their own household. RODEO AT SANTA ANA Scores of boys in Orange county are bending their efforts toward preparations for the Boy Scout rodeo to be held in Santa Ana Friday evening of this week. PROCEEDING WITH THE COAST BOULEVARD WORK Oxnard Capistrano Highway to Be Built at Once Announcement by the state highway commission, that it had completed arrangements to proceed with construction of the Oxnard-San Juan Capistrano coast boulevard, had renewed interest in the projected scenic drive. As to that portion of the highway that will extend through Orange county, the Seal Beach-Huntington Beach strip is the first scheduled for construction, according to County Engineer J. L. McBride. "The highway commission has signified, unofficially, that it expects to be ready to let that contract by next spring," McBride stated. Orange county is making ready to prepare its contribution, in the form of right of way, to the proposed scenic boulevard along the coast. Thirty-two miles of boulevard will be laid within this county. Responsibility for receiving deeds to the first eight and a half miles, extending from Seal Beach to Huntington Beach., has been turned over by the state highway commission to the Orange county supervisors. Securing signatures to the deeds is the first task, and a formidable one, before the engineering department. As pointed out by County Engineer McBride, the securing of signatures is complicated by the fact that the proposed right of way extends through Sunset Beach, where the property is in the hands of numerous widely scattered owners. Between there and Huntington Beach, however, the distance is covered practically by three parcels of property, owned by the Bolsa Chica Gun club, P. A. Stanton and the I. W. Hell- In point of volume of fruit shipped, the Garden Grove Citrus association has grown 2000 per cent in the last two years, according to E. M. Dozier, secretary of the association. As evidence in support of his statement as to growth of the association he points out that last season the association handled ten cars of oranges. The season this year will be marked by the packing and shipping of 250 cars. The association is the youngest in the county, it is said (and is said to be the most important industrial enterprise in the Garden Grove district. In the picking and packing season scores of men and women are employed, to whom manp thousands of dollars are distributed annually. Dale Quarton, who is a student at the naval academy at Annapolis, and will graduate next June, has just returned from a three months' annual cruise.

The ship sailed up the coast through the English channel, the North sea to Norway. Returning to America on September 1st, on time for the fall term. Dale had shore leave at the ports where the ship touched and has sent his parents, Mr. and Mrs. W. P. Quarton, a number of beautiful souvenirs of these places. He expects to graduate in June and hopes to be assigned to the Pacific fleet. RODEO AT SANTA ANA Scores of boys in Orange county are bending their efforts toward preparations for the Boy Scout rodeo to be held in Santa Ana Friday evening of this week. It is to be a carnival of good cheer, as well as a demonstration of Boy Scout work. Fun and frolic are on the program. According to Fred Newcomb, who is in charge of concessions for organizations, there will be a wide variety of booths arranged by lodges and clubs who have entered into the rodeo plans for the purpose of showing their appreciation of what the Boy Scout movement means in the boy life of this country. Every Boy Scout troop is planning to give a demonstration of some phase of the work. The parade will be along Fourth street at 7:30 o'clock Friday evening. The boys and the bands that will accompany them will march off Fourth street into the carnival area, which is Main street between First and Fourth streets. A special program of singing is being arranged. Those who are working upon details of the rodeo are especially anxious that a large crowd be in attendance that there may be a public demonstration of encouragement to the boys who are in the Boy Scout organization.

FALKENSTEIN'S GRAIN MEN WANT ELEVATOR AT HARBOR Active Steps Being Taken by County Farm Bureau That the Orange county farm bureau is making an endeavor to secure the location of the California Grain Elevator corporation's terminal grain elevator for Newport harbor, was disclosed by H. E. Wahlberg, farm advisor. The effort is more or less the direct result of information on the harbor gained by Wahlberg and R. D. Flaherty, secretary-manager of the bureau when they accompanied Congressman H. Z. Osborne and former United States Senator Frank P. Flint on a tour of inspection of the bay Friday of last week as guests of the Orange County Harbor association. The inspection of the harbor and close investigation of the development in the bay developed data for the farm bureau men that will assist them in presenting the location to the California Elevator corporation, according to a statement by Wahlberg. "If we succeed in locating an elevator on Newport harbor it will be a long step toward the development of coast-wise and ocean-going shipping," said Wahlberg. "The grain grown in southern California goes all over the world, therefore, it follows, naturally, that it would mean the opening of other traffic." "This progressive move on the part of the bureau marks it as one of the greatest constructive forces in the county. Incidentally, it puts the farmer in a new role, that of a leader. It is a role for which he is eminently fitted, and one in which he will present a force that will have to be dealt with in the future, especially where his interests are involved." Data secured by the two farm bureau officials on their ride over the bay in company with the Los Angeles County Harbor association was organized is that each and every member should take an active part in promoting the interests of the harbor," declared R. L. Bisby, secretary. "To make it most effective a large membership should be secured and I believe there are many live citizens of the county who will be glad to join in the operations of the association to make Orange county harbor one of the most prominent on the coast." D. Eyman Huff, manager of the Hewes estate, is president. The board of directors includes men of prominence in Riverside and San Bernardino counties.

It is a role for which he is eminently fitted, and one in which he will present a force that will have to be dealt with in the future, especially where his interests are involved." Data secured by the two farm bureau officials on their ride over the bay in company with the Los Angeles men and directors of the Orange County Harbor association also is to be presented in detail to the farm bureau. Wahlberg and Flaherty predict a great future for the harbor. They see in the harbor the possible development of an invaluable asset for the county. Officers and directors of the Orange County Harbor association are more than gratified at the active interest the bureau officials are taking in steps to induce the location o fan enterprise that will hasten the growth and recognition of the harbor, if the effort is successful. The fact that the bureau is squarely behind the harbor will give great impetus to the project, it is believed, and will offer an influence that will be beneficial in further activities of the association in its efforts to secure the location of commerce enterprises. The association this week is making an endeavor to increase its membership, and to that end has established a booth in the Orange county fair at Huntington Beach, where residents of the county may file their applications for membership. Dues are $10 a year and already a number of the most prominent and progressive men of the county have become identified with the organization.
