MONTHLY BULLETIN Extracts From Current Issue of C. of C. Publication Several parties visited the office for industrial sites, during the week, and the industrial committee, with John Reuther as chairman, is to investigate and co-operate in every way possible with such inquiries. This office would like to have your suggestions as to enterprises which might successfully conduct industrial operations with Anaheim as a center. The time will come when the future local payrolls will tide our merchants over dull seasons. Give us the value of your ideas in this direction. Postmaster General Will Hays, publicity man par excellence, writes the secretary a personally signed letter, thanking this chamber for its help in speeding up the mail. Just what have our members done to facilitate the efficiency of Anaheim's postoffice. This office tries to get its first grist of correspondence into the postoffice before noon, to prevent congestion at the end of the day. Such delays in delivery of local mail as are complained of, are mainly due to the deposit of nearly all Anaheim's business mail at or near the closing hour. Do your part. The postoffice boys are doing theirs, uncomplainingly, under small remuneration. Tell the idea to your household women folks, please. Just as we go to "press" Mr. Ruether, chairman of industry committee, reminds us o'f chance to get a manufacturing concern located within for miles of our trade center. We immediately got on the phone and offered our services to this enterprise, which is moving from a neighboring city, and find that there is good prospect of the location in a nearby settlement to the eastward. We have as Union indicate that the vegetable shipments from the northern end of Orange county will total between $175,000 and $180,000 when the final shipment of tomatoes is made this month. Up to the present day the vegetable shipments amounted to 75 carloads of tomatoes, 60 carloads of cabbage, 66 carloads of celery, 20 carloads of lettuce and 50 carloads of cauliflower. Between 25 and 30 more carloads of tomatoes will be shipped out between now and the time of the first anticipated frost. The carload values of the vegetables were estimated as follows: Tomatoes, $1000; cabbage, between $200 and $400; celery, $400; lettuce, between $300 and $400, and cauliflower, $500. The value of the tomato futures will approximate that of the cars already shipped, it is said. Orange county growers will receive something over $212,000 for the green chili and pimento crops this year, according to figures and estimates given out by C. C. Cornett, of the California Packing company, Santa Ana. The prices per ton paid to growers this year were $22.50 for green chili and $30 for pimiento. These prices were paid f. o. b. ranch, the companies paying all hauling charges, according to Cornett. The pack of the local plant this year will total 700 tons of green chili and 3000 tons of pimientos. Growers of chili will receive $15,750 from the packing company and pimientos growers a total of $90,000. Cornett estimated the combined pack of three of the largest of the other packers to be approximately the same as that of the California Packing company. Computing these figures with the addition of the small plants the $212,000 total is reached. The pimiento pack was light this year, according to Cornett; trouble developing on the sales end of the busi- three assistants there United States plays will be outlined and shipping board, the culture, the secretaries and the secretary of state pation a success so five departments are As a means of bonds of friendship try and Brazil for lod 1910-1914 showed age of $111,000,000 100,000 exports to the war in Europe turned chasers our way, while Brazil for larger ammunition materials, and our coffees increased.

SUMMER VEGETABLES ON WINTER TABLES Orange County Shipping Green Stuff to the Eastern Markets Orange county citrus fruit has for many years been a winter delicacy in the frozen east. The golden orange has long been one of the most popular items on the Thanksgiving and Christmas bill of fare, and Santa Claus always found it one of his most popular offerings. But there is much land in Orange county unsuited to citrus culture, which is gradually being devoted to the raising of vegetables, and the product is finding a ready market in the east, where such stuff can be grown during the greater part of the year in hot houses only. A few years ago the people of the east and middle west could only dream of green peas, green lima beans, tomatoes, and lettuce in the winter time, but now these vegetables are being shipped from Orange county, and can be found on many an eastern Thanksgiving and Christmas table. The northern portion of the county has hitherto been the chief depot for the shipment of these green vegetables, but a big industry is being developed on the San Joaquin ranch, the acreage being gradually increased, and there is, apparently, an unlimited market for the produce. The California Vegetable Union has two packing houses in the north end of the county, one at Fullerton and the other at Yorba, and has also established one on the Irvine ranch. The acreage on this ranch this year devoted to vegetables is as follows: GREAT IRRIGATION PROJECT Discussion throughout the southwest has evolved so many new and conflicting angles in the consideration of the project to develop the resources of the Colorado river that it is believed the complex situation may best be clarified by a meeting of all elements at interest. The members of the league of the southwest therefore have ordered that a special meeting be called for the sole and express purpose of considering the present status of the project to develop the Colorado river resources. By an overwhelming vote of the membership Riverside was chosen as the place of meeting. The meeting is therefore herewith called at Riverside on December 8th, 9th and 10th, 1921. Since public thought has focused upon the proposal to build a dam in Boulder canon, and the government's investigations have crystalized in an unpublished report prepared by Director Davis, of the U.S. reclamation service (in obedience to the terms of the Kinkaid act) this document will necessarily be an important topic of discussion. It is assumed Secretary of the Interior Fall, as well as Director Davis, will be present to ascertain the sentiments of the people of the southwest and to give the meeting the benefit of their counsel. The interstate Colorado river commission, which came into being as a result of the activities of the league of the southwest and was created by the joint action of the federal government and the several states in the Colorado river basin, is expected to have its initial meeting concurrently as to time and place. Aside from the governors and notable men and women of the southwest chill will receive $16,750 from the packing company and pimiento growers a total of $90,000. Cornett estimated the combined pack of three of the largest of the other packers to be approximately the same as that of the California Packing company. Computing these figures with the addition of the small plants thb $212,000 total is reached. The pimiento pack was light this year, according to Cornett; trouble developing on the sales end of the business. Last year's pack, he said, totaled 4000 tons, or 33 T.S. per cent more than this year's pack.

This year proximately 40,000 trust registered in the state. the shipments of these great vegetables, but a big industry is being developed on the San Joaquin ranch, the acreage being gradually increased, and there is, apparently, an unlimited market for the produce. The California Vegetable Union has two packing houses in the north end of the county, one at Fullerton and the other at Yorba, and has also established one on the Irvine ranch. The acreage on this ranch this year devoted to vegetables is as follows: Cabbage, 325 acres; cauliflower, 300 acres; tomatoes, 200 acres; celery, 150 acres; lettuce, 150 acres; potatoes, 100 acres; green peas, 40 acres; green limbs, 15 acres; squash, 10 acres, and cucumbers, 5 acres. Carload shipments of lettuce, cabbage, celery and cauliflower will be available for the Christmas trade, and it is planned to make extensive carload consignments to eastern markets in order to care for the Thanksgiving demand for early vegetable. Announcement that 300 acres of land are devoted to the production of cauliflower does not mean that a single individual received a lease for this acreage, as a record in the company's books discloses that the total acreage is divided up into small tracts and each lessee is engaged in intensive cultivation in order to reach the maximum production. The same situation obtains with respect to potatoes, cabbage, tomatoes, lettuce and celery. Shipments of the hardier vegetables, such as cabbage, squash, tomatoes and celery, will continue throughout the winter months, according to a statement made by a representative of the company. Next year's acreage will be increased by several hundred acres, the expansion to continue indefinitely, says the statement. Figures that had been given out at the office of the California Vegetable Commission, which came into being as a result of the activities of the league of the southwest and was created by the joint action of the federal government and the several states in the Colorado river basin, is expected to have its initial meeting concurrently as to the time and place. Aside from the governors and notable men and women of the southwest it is anticipated distinguished persons from various branches of the federal government as well as other eminent persons representing influential factors in the nation will participate in the program. BRAZIL'S BIRTHDAY By joint resolution congress has made available the sum of $1,000,000 to defray the costs of American participation in the international exposition to be held in Rio de Janiero, Brazil, commencing the 7th of September, 1922. It was on September 7, 1822, that the eldest son of Dom Joao VI declared for Brazilian independence of Portugal and was crowned emperor of Brazil as Dom Pedro I. Not until 1889 did Brazil become a republic, although there was a steady evolution toward that end beginning with the abdication of Pedro in 1831. The exposition celebrates the centennial of Brazilian independence. Brazil appropriated $600,000 to take part in our St. Louis exposition of 1903, a sum relatively larger than that appropriated by the senate recently, but although we appropriated nearly $1,500,000 for participation in the Paris exposition of 1900, we are hampered by grave considerations of economy this year.

California at present throe assistants the part which the United States plays in the exposition will be outlined and effected. The shipping board, the secretary of agriculture, the secretary of commerce, and the secretary of the interior will each lend aid in making our participation a success so far as their respective departments are concerned. As a means of strengthening the bonds of friendship between this country and Brazil this is money well invested, which considered from the purely material standpoint of trade, it will be bread upon the waters. Our trade with Brazil for the five year period 1910-1914 showed an annual average of $111,000,000 imports and $32,000,000 exports to that country. The war in Europe turned Brazilian purchasers our way, while we looked to Brazil for larger amounts of raw materials, and our coffee purchases increased. From 1919 to 1921 the annual average was $184,000,000 imports from and $112,000,000 exports to Brazil, an increase in total average trade of over 100 per cent, imports increasing about 66 per cent, and sales to Brazil increasing 250 per cent. Brazil is larger than the United States, exclusive of Alaska, and the vast hinterland has not been touched. It is well worth while cultivating her friendship for sentimental as well as for practical reasons. CUM GRANO SALIS The people of the United States are, and should be, on their guard against giving undue weight to utterances originating abroad and having a tendency to affect public opinion in this country. We give every man credit for honesty of purpose until we have reason to do otherwise, but at the same time, we must make allowance for the usual human prejudices and frailties. When, for instance, we read the statement of Lord Northcliffe that in case these things. Highways are being constructed from bond funds provided by general taxation. Motor vehicle license fees are inadequate to provide funds necessary for proper maintenance, and the fees bear no relation to the wear and tear to which the vehicle licensed subjects the highway. The legal weight limit here is equaled by only three other states in the union. CERRO VILLA TRACT STARTS WITH RUSH Cerro Villa Heights, the newest and one of the last citrus sub-divisions that will ever be placed on the market in Orange county, has started out with a rush. Since it was first placed on the market, which was just a few months ago, practically one-third of the 360 acres which comprise the tract have been sold, mostly to local orange growers and business people. The C. B. Berger Co., Anaheim realtors, are general sales agents for the tract for the owners, the Jotham Bixby Co., of Long Beach. Hugh Thompson and Willard Smith, well known engineers and horticulturists of Villa Park, did the development work, and they have not spared the large resources of Bixby in converting this little valley, lying in the foothills north and east of Villa Park, into one of the most highly developed orange grove properties in southern California. The plantings are all Valencia oranges, the stock having been propagated especially for this tract by Messrs. Smith and Thompson. A mutual water company, comprising the owners of the groves in the tract, owns the water system, which is declared by experts to be one of the most efficient in the entire district. This distributing system is so arranged that no night irrigation will be necessary even when the groves will have reached the full bearing stage. Spendid macadamized road system is now under con- The people of the United States are, and should be, on their guard against giving undue weight to utterances originating abroad and having a tendency to affect public opinion in this country. We give every man credit for honesty of purpose until we have reason to do otherwise, but at the same time, we must make allowance for the usual human prejudices and frailties. When, for instance, we read the statement of Lord Northcliffe that in case of a war between Japan and the United states, Great Britain would be found fighting shoulder to shoulder with the United States, we recall that one of the principal occupations of Northcliffe is the saying of things that will embarrass Lloyd George. We are inclined to believe, and would like to feel certain, that Northcliffe is right in his statement, for such an assured fact would make impossible any conflict on the Pacific, but we are not accepting it as true merely because Northcliffe says it. We would like to know what Great Britain has done and is going to do with regard to renewal of the treaty of alliance with Japan. The United States has no aspirations in the Pacific that conflict with the rights of any other nation. We do not envy any other nation whatever success it may achieve. We covet no territorial possessions. We seek peace with all the world, and, therefore, will fight a war on neither the Pacific nor any other ocean unless forced by aggression from abroad. We shall have no trouble with Japan, unless, per chance, Japan may be tempted to pursue an unjust course under the impression that she will have the backing of Great Britain. We shall be pleased to see Northcliffe's expressions of friendship given a substantial meaning by action on the part of the official spokesmen of his country. DISTRIBUTION OF HIGHWAY CONSTRUCTION COSTS In the production of trucks in the United States in 1920, only two per cent were of five ton capacity and only one per cent over five ton. As the ratio of use must be in close proportion to the ratio of production, it follows that only about three per cent of vehicles, using California state highways, are of the so-called heavy duty type. This year there were approximately 40,000 trucks of all kinds registered in the state, which indi- LA HABRA MAN DIES SUDDENLY Edward W.

As the ratio of use must be in close proportion to the ratio of production, it follows that only about three per cent of vehicles, using California state highways, are of the so-called heavy duty type. This year there were approximately 40,000 trucks of all kinds registered in the state, which indicates only about 1200 to 1500 trucks of five ton or more capacity. Highway construction, like other governmental activity, is based on public necessity, and this necessity should be met reasonably when highways are built, adequate to sustain 90 per cent of the traffic. In California this percentage will include all motor, and other vehicles, up to and including two ton capacity. Assuming that for $30,000 per mile an improved highway can be built adequate to sustain 90 per cent of the vehicular traffic of the state, but that it will require $50,000 per mile to construct a highway which will sustain the weight required by ten per cent of heavier duty trucks, should the general tax payer be required to invest an additional 66 per cent in road construction for the exclusive benefit of this particular class of heavy vehicles? There is a distinct trend in recent motor vehicle legislation in other states to tax vehicles which use the highways on a basis of use or wear, by fixing a tax both on horse-power and weight, or a gasoline tax which automatically distributes itself according to the amount of fuel consumed. There is also a pronounced disposition to limit loads to reasonable proportions for the most perfect protection of highways. California at present does neither of LA HABRA MAN DIES SUDDENLY Edward W. Hibbs, of Orange avenue, La Habra, prominent rancher, met death in a peculiar manner Sunday morning. Mr. Hibbs left home in his automobile about 8 o'clock. Forty-five minutes later, A. H. Pearson's coming home from work in the oil fields saw an overturned car in an arroyo about twelve feet deep at the side of the road. Inquiry at the Hibbs home developed the fact that they had heard of no accident, and Mr. Pearson and Miss Helen, a daughter, went to the wreck and found the body of Mr. Hibbs. As there were no marks of violence, and the body was in an upright position, with the hands on the wheel, the machine in reverse and the emergency brake on, the doctor's verdict was that death had been caused by heart failure. Dr. E. S. Bolce, of La Habra, was called and the body removed to Whittler to the White undertaking parlors. An inquest will be held Monday. The funeral arrangements have not been made yet. Mr. Hibbs was 52 years old. The family came to La Habra eight years ago from Newtown, Pa., and has been engaged in walnut ranching. He has taken a lively interest in civic affairs, and has been president of the local farm bureau for two years and a leading member of the walnut association. The widow and one daughter survive.
