ORANGE OPPOSING ENTRY OF UNION PACIFIC Adopts Resolutions Condemning the Building of Main Line The Orange Chamber of Commerce adopted resolutions opposing the building of the Union Pacific into this county. This is the first organization to oppose the main line, all other organizations and individuals having hereof taken exceptions only to the railroad's plans to lay a branch eastward from its proposed principal line. The resolution passed at Orange was prompted by reason of the fact that so far as semi-official information is concerned, the Union Pacific according to its present plans, proposes to run its main line into Orange by paralleling the main Santa Fe line on the west at a distance of about a quarter of a mile. The tracks would thus extend just east of Batavia avenue and through a very rich and well developed section, the Orange Chamber of Commerce holds. The Orange organization takes the stand that were the Union Pacific to carry out its plan the strip of land between the two lines of railroad would become less useful than now for residence purposes. If the Union Pacific were to run its main line alongside that of the Santa Fe, opposition on the part of the Orange Chamber of Commerce would not be so great, it was indicated; perhaps there would be no opposition. The opposition expressed at Orange, it is said, is due to the fact that the U. P. plans so far as known, do not call for a U. P. right of way adjoining the Santa Fe. The board of supervisors of Orange county at its session Tuesday caused its recent resolution, in which it opposes the Union Pacific's proposed spur, and not its main line, to be re-read. This was done to set aright the automobiles thieves brought back for trial. Men Who Stole American Legion Car at Santa Ana Arrested Recently the American Legion post at Santa Ana decided to raffle off a fine Premier automobile, the profits from the sale of tickets to go into the building fund and be used in constructing a club house. Two brothers, S. M. and J. H. Stern, were engaged to sell tickets, and the car was placed in their garage. Everything went swimmingly for a time. Chances in the drawing sold rapidly, and the post was in a fair way to make a neat profit, but one morning it developed that the Stern brothers and their wives had left town, and the Premier auto had gone with them. Sheriff Jackson immediately got busy on the wire, and in a few days the party was located at Salt Lake. The men were arrested while attempting to dispose of the car to a Salt Lake dealer. They were brought back to Santa Ana, and arraigned before Judge Cox Friday on a charge of grand larceny. Their bond was fixed at $5000. Mrs. J. H. Stern told the officers that the men had planned to steal the auto three days before the party left, and that they started for their home in Seattle, but decided to switch off and cross the desert to Salt Lake. The car was recovered. THOSE WHO CAN'T READ If what we have learned from investigations carried on during and since the war comes anywhere near the truth the problem of illiteracy goes somewhat deeper than we had supposed.

The opposition expressed at Orange, it is said, is due to the fact that the U. P. plans so far as known, do not call for a U. P. right of way adjoining the Santa Fe. The board of supervisors of Orange county at its session Tuesday caused its recent resolution, in which it opposes the Union Pacific's proposed spur, and not its main line, to be read. This was done to set aright the Anaheim Kiwanis club, which had protested the supervisors' resolution, in the mistaken belief that the board was against both the spur and the main line. Malcolm Fraser, secretary of the Anaheim Chamber of Commerce, told the supervisors that Anaheim was in favor of the entry of the Union Pacific into the county. A copy of the supervisors' resolution was ordered sent to the Kiwanis club of Anaheim. PLEASED WITH ANNUAL REPORT Perhaps no annual report ever issued in Los Angeles by G. Harold Powell, manager of the California Fruit Growers' exchange, on that organization's activities, was greeted with greater interest by Orange county citrus growers than the one released for publication Wednesday. Exchange growers of the state received for the year $61,080,003.77 for their vast citrus shipments. The report stated, and based on these returns, California received $82,537,344.p2 for the season's citrus crop. Growers in the entire state shipped out 60,147 cars of citrus fruit for the fiscal year ending October 31, while the California Fruit Growers' exchange handled 43,592 cars during the same period, says the report. Of the total estimated increase of 230,000 acres devoted to citrus culture this year, it is pointed out that 87 per cent of this acreage is found in southern California. The report also carries a prediction that 20,000 additional cars will be shipped when many of the new groves become full bearing. Total shipments for the entire state, including consignments by rail and steamship, total 48,350 cars of oranges and 11,797 cars of lemons, having a f. o. b. California value of $83,537,344.22, while delivery value is placed at $128.431,959.30, which amount includes $44.893,715.08 transportation and refrigeration was recovered. THOSE WHO CAN'T READ If what we have learned from investigations carried on during and since the war comes anywhere near the truth the problem of illiteracy goes somewhat deeper than we had supposed. We had thought that all we had to do to stamp out illiteracy was to make sure that every child received a primary school education. But it seems as if that is not a positive guarantee against illiteracy. It may sound somewhat incredible, but among educators who have scanned closely the mental tests which were given our soldiers the opinion seems to be growing that people can forget to read. Some of our so-called illiteracy is to be laid at the door of lack of occasion and inducement for reading. The school, it is maintained, might put all its resources to work to teach individuals to read fairly well, but still if by chance any of these individuals leave school at an early enough age, they could forget what they had learned. As a matter of fact, a great many children leave school at an age before reading has become a habit with them. No doubt a goodly share of these unfortunates eventually lead lives in which the ability to read is fostered because of necessity. But there still remains an airmingly large number to whom this good fortune does not come. Despite the fact that thousands of tons of printed matter are sent from the presses of the country every day, these persons find neither occasion nor inducement to look at printed pages. We might blame the offending individuals for being too shiftless to take advantage of opportunities easily within their reach. But even this would not remedy the matter; it would not teach them to read. The fact remains that if we are to carry on a successful campaign against illiteracy, we must employ methods which will get at this large number of individuals. It is said that these people number millions. Would it not be worth while to investigate what manner of life these people lead for whom the printed page is unintelligible?

Keech, of Santa Ana, has in her possession a citation and medal for service issued by the National Red Cross and awarded to her daughter, Miss Cara M. Keech, who died overseas, Oct. 17, 1918. Mrs. Keech also has a diploma issued by the government of France and signed by President Polnarek. The citation which has just been received, is signed by Livingston Farand, chairman of the central committee of the National Red Cross and reads as follows: "The bronze medal is awarded to Cara M. Keech in recognition of specially meritorious service faithfully performed Awarded February 9, 1921." Mrs. Keech was in service as a dietician. While en route overseas she contracted influenza and died shortly after reaching England. No young girl ever feels compelled when another woman asks her that she has "an intelligent tenance." IMMIGRATION WAITS The 1920 census figures give the number of America's foreign born white residents as 13,700,000. Of this number, nearly one-fourth are of British birth, and the largest stream of immigration still comes from British land. Ireland, England and Canada lead with 1,000,000 for the first and 800,000 for each of the others. The British total is about 3,000,000. After the British group the next largest body of foreign born are Germans. They are followed by Italians, Russians and Poles. At present there is an emergency immigration law which is keeping out some of the elements which past experience has proved to be assimilated not at all or only with great difficulty. That law is only a temporary measure. Although other matters have crowded it out for the time being, immigration remains an unsolved and grave problem. New and enlightened legislation on this subject is vitally necessary. The public should be trying to form for itself an intelligent opinion and a constructive program. TAXPAYERS RESPONDING Alacrity in responding to summons from Elmer B. Burns, deputy collector of internal revenue, has characterized most of the county income tax delinquents who are being questioned about alleged irregularities in their tax returns. Approximately a score were against illiteracy, we must employ methods which will get at this large number of individuals. It is said that these people number millions. Would it not be worth while to investigate what manner of life these people lead for whom the printed page is unintelligible?

MARRIAGE Annulment of time Schneipp Reyna, has been granted court by Judge T Reyna being entered. The Reyna case such suits to find ange county court annulments have sought, the two ANAHEIM GAZETTE questioned by Burns last week, while probably six times that number are expected to appear for questioning this week, it was stated. Notices summoning the delinquents were sent out Tuesday, but a number are responding to audit letters sent from Washington and Los Angeles. Most of the irregularities, according to Burns, were caused by the failure of taxpayers to consider the depreciation of improved property at the time of transfer or sale. The government does not take into account the depreciation of unimproved real estate in demanding a tax, but in the sale of improved land property depreciation must be included. Many property owners who sold improved land and buildings neglected to include in their tax schedule the amount of depreciation, according to Burns. Owners taxed for property are permitted to include property depreciation in their expense exemption, but this ruling does not apply to those who have sold property. 70 BILLION FEET OF TIMBER IN TONGASS FOREST, ALASKA The original estimate of 70,000,000-000 feet, board measure, of merchantable timber in the Tongass national forest, Alaska, made some years ago, probably understates the tremendous timber resources of that reservation, according to a report by E. A. Sherman, associate forester, of the United States department of agriculture. The original estimate was mare b ya former supervisor whose pioneer work as a forester in that region has well stood the test of time. Six years ago Mr. Sherman followed about 1500 miles of Tongass shore line. What he saw on that cruise satisfied him that the estimate, which he had previously regarded as high, was not unreasonable. "On my trip to Alaska this year," Mr. Sherman reports, "I visited other those of Dolly and Earl Bentley, and Sidney and Ethel Eggleston. The fourth case, which is still pending, is that of Louise Kniffling, who seeks annulment of her marriage to Frank Kniffling, alleging that he deserted her immediately after marriage. Maxine Schneipp was married to Clyde Reyna in January, 1920, when she was only 14 years old. Her parents took her away from her husband after the marriage and joined with her in seeking annulment on the grounds of her youth. It's a wise father that knows his own daughter after she has her war paint on. IF THE TREATY OF PEACE HAD BEEN SIGNED The New York World is telling now, In accents loud and wild, How heavenly the world would be—Angelic-like and mild— If we had signed the Wilson peace And joined the Wilson league, Instead of standing off, aloof, From all old world intrigue. If we had only joined the league, The army sent from Greece Would not be fighting Turkey now, And all warfare would cease; All Europe would be stabilized; Industrial suspense Would long have passed; all men would work For full-time recompense. Disarmament would have begun, We'd need no tariff bill. And taxes would by now have shrunk Till they were all but nil; All wages would be going up. And prices coming down, With everybody growing rich In money and renown. The pen, of course, is mightier than the sword, but there never was a pen wielder who didn't long occasionally to swap his typewriter for a pair of boxing gloves with lead in them. Every youth wishes to own an automobile and be married because he never has owned an automobile nor been married. SHERIFF'S SALE In the Superior Court in and for the County of Orange, State of California. Jennie Pomeroy, Plaintiff, vs. Irma S. Strubb, J. Talamanets, John Doe and Richard Roe, Defendants. Sale under foreclosure of mortgage. Under and by virtue of a decree of foreclosure and order of sale duly made and entered in the Superior Court of the County of Orange, State of California, on the 28th day of October, A. D. 1921, and a writ of execution for the enforcement of judgment requiring sale of property under foreclosure of mortgage issued out of the said Superior Court on the 29th day of October A. D., 1921, in the above entitled action, in favor of Jennie Pomeroy, Plaintiff, and against Irma S. Strubb and J. Talamanets, Defendants, a copy of which said decree of foreclosure duly attested under the seal of the said Superior Court on the 29th day of October, A. D., 1921, and to me delivered on the same day, together with the said wirt annexed thereto, whereby I am commanded to sell at public auction for cash, Gold Coin of the United States, the following and in said decrees described real estate: Situated, lying and being in the town of Los Alamitos, County of Orange, State of California, and bounded and particularly described as follows, to-wit: Lots Nine (9), Ten (10), Eleven (11) and Twelve (12) in Block Twenty-four (24) of the Town of Los Alamitos, as man, associate forester, of the United States department of agriculture. The original estimate was mare b ya former supervisor whose pioneer work as a forester in that region has well stood the test of time. Six years ago Mr. Sherman followed about 1500 miles of Tongass shore line. What he saw on that cruise satisfied him that the estimate, which he had previously regarded as high, was not unreasonable. "On my trip to Alaska this year," Mr. Sherman reports, "I visited other parts of the forest not seen in my previous inspection, with the result that I am now fully convinced that the forest will yield the full estimate and more." The Tongass forest alone under proper forestry methods. It is estimated, could furnish the entire nation a supply of wood pulp sufficient to yield approximately 2,000,000 tons a year per pettyally, or enough to manufacture one-third of the pulp products now consumed in the United States. The Tongass forest is one of two national forests in Alaska, and occupies the greater part of the southeastern Panhandle. TO DETERMINE ONWERSHIP J. R. Gardiner desires to find out to whom he owes $6000, which remains unpaid upon eighty acres of land at Fullerton, which he purchased in December, 1919, from Wilhelmina J. Holcomb, C. E. Holcomb and Meta Zeyn. According to Gardiner, he paid $5,000 at the time of purchase and has since paid, in installments, $78,000, including the installment due this month. Now, he says, N. P. Morse has notified him that remaining payments are to be paid to Morse who claims to have acquired the interests of the others in the contract between Gardiner and the original sellers. Gardiner has filed suit to have every one concerned brought into court to straighten out the interests of each. He desires to be sure that he is paying the remaining $6000 to the proper party. The Holcombs, Meta Zeyn and Morse are made defendants in the suit which was filed in the superior court.

Disarmament would have begun, We'd need no tactif bill. And taxes would by now have shrunk Till they were all but nil; All wages would be going up. And prices coming down. With everybody growing rich In money and renown. No one would ever have to walk, Or even drive a "fliv." For motor cars would grow like weeds Wherever people live. The movies wouldn't cost a dime. Nor any other price. And emeralds and diamonds Would sell in bulk, like rice. A Garden of Hesperides Would grace each farm and park; There'd be a full moon constantly, No night e'er would be dark. No housewife would with worry stew, Because the cook had quit; And husbands would stay home of nights, And always proud of it. A thousand other things which I might mention, but for space, If we had signed the treaty, would right now be taking place; But what I'd like to know is this. Of which I'm much in doubt: Suppose we had, what would the World Seize on to crab about. NOTICE INVITING SEALED PROPOSALS OR BIDS.
