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 MONTHLY BULLETIN Following items are extracted from the October number of the Monthly Bulletin issued by the Anaheim Chamber of Commerce: Leonard Evans has brought up the interesting subject of Anaheim's proper place in the ranks of California's cities. He says we are entitled to be in the fifth class, whenever we prove our population over 6000. This can easily be done. The advantages would be many. The last decennial census gave us 5526 and we are now close to 7500, it is generally conceded. More of this anon. Officials of the Union Pacific system called at the office and got a welter of information regarding east and west bound freight. The figures show a great increase in the volume both ways, and afford further incentive to the company to exercise its right-of-way through Anaheim now. No date is set for work to begin pending action of the railroad commission, as to issuance of permit. The executive and finance committees for 1922 California Valencia Orange Show have met and elected officiates. Representatives from Orange, Riverside and San Bernardino counties explained to the other supervisors that the three counties had got together upon a load limit ordinance which is now in effect in San Bernardino, Orange and Riverside counties. Provisions of this law, fixing a load limit of 22,000 pounds gross, were outlined and seemed to be generally acceptable to the seven counties. However, in order that details might be discussed it was decided to name a committee of one member from each county to go over the tri-county ordinance with a view to making any changes found advisable. The seven counties as quickly as possible will have the same ordinance. It is quite likely that Los Angeles, Ventura, Imperial and San Diego counties will adopt the tri-county ordinance. Supervisor H. A. Wassum, of Tustin, who represented the Orange county board in the preparation of the ordinance, is this county's representative on the southern California committee. This committee is to meet in Los Angeles Thursday to settle a uniform ordinance for the entire south. A resolution passed by supervisorial boards of Orange, San Diego and possibly other counties was presented and adopted unanimously. The resolution endorses the stand of the state highway commission in a statewide attack made upon it by the Southern California Automobile club and the California Automobile association. The resolution calls upon Governor W. D. Stephens to include in the call for the proposed special session of the legislatures for the highways of the state beures for the highways of the state be passed. It was the consensus of opinion that hereafter the supervisors of the state through their associations are to take a more definite part in the preparation of this law. BOOMS CLARK While it may be cal pot is not yet paign for Judge the Republican nor of California it seems. Winfield Ho writer of Los Angeles city yesterday in Clarke's candidature resident of Los Angeles prominent in Red California for me he first ran for a bench in Ventura "Judge Clarke lated any platform boom, in explain work in behalf of candidate." "He be California needs demand tax reform economy in state." "Before I left Clarke had put which he said: "The economy ward. Wages and products have been thought or been given to the cost of government." "A great descent education of those of the Rocky mountains land hold opinion a vigorous present anti-alleges they now appear is the proper form opportunity for The Japanese and gardless of these. These two t gave to show what coming campaign. Mr. Hogaboon parts of San Diego county before The executive and finance committees for 1922 California Valencia Orange Show have met and elected officers. In the executive committee, Herman Stern is chairman; A. W. Reeves, secretary; F. A. Backs, Jr., treasurer. The finance committee unanimously placed Chas. A. Boege at its head for the year. The plan is to raise $15,000, as a guarantee for the next show. Mr. Boege says this can be done in jig time. After an adequate sum is laid aside for the 1923 show, the surplus for the next exposition is to be used to retire previous subscriptions, 7 per cent to be paid meantime. A. W. Reeves, chairman of the program of work committee, proposes to hold meetings with members who may be interested in pushing ahead the chosen planks from the nine adopted in the installation program, in July. It is possible that the two necessities on which the work of this important committee will be most centered, will be the extension of ornamental lights, to the city limits of Center, Los Angeles and other main thoroughfares, and the extension of the city limits. This latter will be worked out incessantly through the next three years, but the light extension item seems like a job that can be put through without such delay. The decision of Thomas Crawford to join actively and financially in the launching of the Citricube company, an Anaheim industrial "baby" from tip to toe, gives assurance that this infant industry will thrive. The projected factory here, on which this chamber has been working for more than a year, will have a daily consumption from the start, of four tons of cull citrus products; later, it will consume one ton an hour. This use of material now very largely wasted, immediately will solve one of the growers' most serious problems. Mr. Crawford declares he can get a demand for the ton an hour headway right from the start, and that this factory can make a profit twice as made upon it by the California Automobile club and the California Automobile association. The resolution calls upon Governor W. D. Stephens to include in the call for the proposed special session of the legislatures for the highways of the state beures for the highways of the state be passed. It was the consensus of opinion that hereafter the supervisors of the state through their associations are to take a more definite part in the preparation of traffic bills to be submitted to the legislature. They will not leave the presentation of bills of that nature to the automobile clubs. The attitude expressed is due to the conviction of the supervisors that at the last legislature the automobile clubs stood with the tracking interest of the state in favor of the Lee bill, with its 28,000 pounds load limit, against the supervisors of the state and the state highway commission. The southern California supervisors are to meet hereafter twice a year. The next meeting will be held in Los Angeles next April. GOOD BOXING BOUTS Young Burton was the whole show in the Anaheim Athletic club boxing contests Friday night. Burton fought one Joe Chaney, substituting for Benny Heller—who showed good judgment in not showing up—in the third preliminary. Before the bout had gone two seconds the fans were on their feet. The first round was even money. In the second frame the black boy had a shade, but in the third there was no chance for an argument. Burton took it a mile. He repeated in the fourth. Young Dudley and Bud Soules looked to be afraid of each other in the first round of the main event. But Bud got warmed up in the second and landed one that nearly had the colored boy out. Fans were a bit tired of seeing Dudley so often and rooters for him were few. The crowd was with Soules. Soules took the decision. Walloping Wilson wrote a letter to the editor notifying him that his name is not "Walloping Rufus Wilson." His name is just plain "Walloping Wilson" Treadville. Walloping was in ring with Roy Coffee for four rounds in the second prelim, but he must have left his wallop home so the children could have something to play with. Java hit Wilson once each round and took the decision. ELECT N The annual Conservation act at the office of the pany. Riverside Directors elected as folle county: George Jones and J. W. Hyty: H. H.

Twenty-nine supervisors, representing Ventura, Los Angeles, San Bernardino, Riverside, Imperial, San Diego and Orange counties, were present, including a majority of each board and the entire board from Orange county. That paved highways all over the state are being damaged by excessive trucking and that the supervisors agree that the necessary step at this time to save the highways is to set low road limits was brought out on a number of talks at the meeting. The failure of the legislature to pass a state law lowering the trucking load limits was commented upon, the declaration being that the present state load limit of 28,000 pounds is entirely too high and that the state law in Soules. Soules took the decision. Walloping Wilson wrote a letter to the editor notifying him that his name is not "Walloping Rufus Wilson." His name is just plain "Walloping Wilson" Treadville. Walloping was in the ring with Roy Coffee for four rounds in the second prelim, but he must have left his wallop home so the children could have something to play with. Java hit Wilson once each round and took the decision. With $900 in cash in possession of Justice of the Peace Cox and 600 or 700 quart bottles of hom. brew held by Sheriff C. E. Jackson. Orange county Tuesday reaped a rich reward as the result of a raid made on the home of Frank Heageley, near Sunset beach. Heagley pleaded guilty to two charges of selling booze and one of manufacturing and Judge Cox assessed him $300 on each, or a total of $900. Heagley paid the fines promptly. The waving tuiles, just across a little bay from Heagley's secluded "resort" was attracting the attention of Sheriff Jackson. The tuiles were of peculiar significance to the sheriff, he said, because of the extraordinary resources of the Heagley cellar. This cellar points to something more than the usual suitcase source of supply, according to Jackson. The sheriff and his deputies are making a careful search of the tuiles in expectation of unearthing a big plant for the manufacture of home brew. In fact, they anticipate uncovering a mammoth private brewery for it is pointed out that a supply of 600 or 700 quart bottles of beer could not possibly be the product of a small plant.

HORSE FOR SALE—offer refused Santa Ana s While it may be said that the political pot is not yet boiling, the campaign for Judge Robert M. Clarke for the Republican nomination for governor of California is already under way it seems. Winfield Hogaboom, newspaper writer of Los Angeles, was in this city yesterday in the interest of Judge Clarke's candidacy. Judge Clarke is a resident of Los Angeles, and has been prominent in Republican campaigns in California for many years, ever since he first ran for a place on the superior bench in Ventura county. "Judge Clarke hasn't, as yet, formulated any platform," said Mr. Hogaboom, in explaining why the early work in behalf of the Los Angeles candidate. "He believes, however, that California needs, and that her people demand tax reform and the practice of economy in state government. "Before I left Los Angeles, Judge Clarke had put out a statement in which he said: "The economic tendency is downward. Wages are being cut; farm products have been reduced, but no serious thought or attention seem to have been given to the cutting down of the cost of government. "A great deal has been said about education of the people who live east of the Rocky mountains on the Japanese land holding question. In my opinion a vigorous enforcement of the present anti-alien land holding laws, as they now appear on the statute books, is the proper function, and the field of opportunity for the state government. The Japanese are still on the land, regardless of these laws." These two thoughts, Judge Clarke gave to show what his platform for the coming campaign for governor will be. Mr. Hogaboom is going to visit all parts of San Diego county and Imperial county before returning to Los Anheim." Saturday Evening First Performance and 7.15 O'C Doors open at ELECT NEW DIRECTORS The annual meeting of the Water Conservation association was held at the office of the Riverside Water company, Riverside, Friday, October 14. Directors for the ensuing years were elected as follows: San Bernardino county: George S. Hinckley, J. C. Jones and J. W. Catick. Orange county: H. H. Hale, George Dierker and Fred Rohrs. Riverside county: E. O. Rickard, Francis Cuttle and W. G. Fraser. The association plans to extend its works for the sinking of water on the debris cone at the mouth of the Santa Ana river. Pratt check dams were constructed last year which will enable the association to divert from the river approximately 20,000 inches of water. The work for the ensuing year will be confined to the building of contour rock dams across the debris cone and to the spreading of storm water. The association will employ from 15 to 20 men on this work during the winter. TERRACED ORCHARDS A little to the north of Whittler boulevard and adjoining the East Whittler district is to be seen one of the latest developments in winter gardening and avocado and citrus culture. American and modern adaptations of European and ancient methods are being strikingly and successfully demonstrated under direction of Edwin G. Hart. Terraced hillside citrus groves, even the steepest slopes of this former sheep ranch, are being transformed into highly productive property. R. L. Reynolds, a large grower of winter vegetables, has 160 acres of hillside now in crops, affording a most striking illustration of the new terrace method. Rhubarb of giant sie, peppers, beans, peas, tomatoes, squash and cucumbers are growing where a few years ago it THE OLD ORCHARD PROBLEM Scarce two generations old in fruit growing, although the premier fruit state in the union, California today is facing the old orchard problem. What are the causes accounting for the gradual decline of our older orchards? Or aer fruiting trees in California comparatively short-lived? Answering the last question first, there is sufficient evidence in the way of isolated orchards here and there to indicate that apparently there is no inherent reason why at 30 years of age our orchards so generally should begin to decline. Furthermore, we have hundreds of individual trees which at Hours: 10-11; 1-4; 7-8 Office 333-J Residence 333-M J. W. UTTER, M.D. PHYSICIAN AND SURGEON 101-202 First National Bank Bldg.

Rhubarb of giant sie, peppers, beans, peas, tomatoes, squash and cucumbers are growing where a few years ago it seemed too steep for anything but a sheep to travel in comfort. Near by Robert M. Teague, a nurseryman of long experience, is demonstrating his faith in the new system by planting 95 acres of similar slopes and hillsides in avocado, citrus and other nursery stock. Avocados are playing a prominent part in the planting scheme of most of the growers. Dr. Stonebrook has put in 18,000 avocado nursery stock as well as a budded plantation, and Clyde O. Wilcox with only five acres in a little cove near the new Country club grounds has made a remarkable showing since last spring. Avocados of the Fuente variety planted in May have grown as much as three feet, seedlings have made two feet and a fine crop of squash and cucumbers has been raised between the rows. Many other holdings are planted in citrus and avocados, winter vegetables and nursery. FOR SALE—Acreage; 4 2-3 acres at Hansen Station, adjoining the Pacific Electric track at Depot by owner.

Answering the last question first, there is sufficient evidence in the way of isolated orchards here and there to indicate that apparently there is no inherent reason why at 30 years of age our orchards so generally should begin to decline. Furthermore, we have hundreds of individual trees which at the age of 50 or more, still are vigorous and heavy yielders. It may well be that the same climatic conditions which force our trees to early and heavy bearing also may shorten the profitable life period, but this for most varieties should not be short of fifty years. Undoubtedly sins of omission in the nature of inadequate irrigation, fertilization and pest control have occasioned the premature decline of hundreds of thousands of trees. And abuses in pruning and spraying, too, have caused other thousands to "wear out" early in their lives. But what causes the falling off in so many of those orchards which have been given what is generally considered excellent care and attention? Certainly this old orchard problem is of primary importance to California horticulture and perhaps it should constitute the basic note in the investigations of the state college of agriculture. Now that there are no Indians so fight and the "Wild West" has become tame, what do normal boys do for mental exercise? The reason that there has been so little house-building lately is because automobiles are a necessity. body Get Ready To Attend the LA OPENING of the Beautiful New RNIA THEATER neim's Beautiful Playhouse Evening, October 22 performance and Dedication starts at 15 O'CLOCK Evening, October 22 Performance and Dedication starts at 15 O'CLOCK Doors open at 6:30 o'clock Saturday your seats served.
