According to the Los Angeles Express, forty years ago this week an Anaheim citizen received an order from a Missouri pipe factory for several carloads of Anaheim corncobs, which were to be turned into Missouri meerchaums.

Considerable excitement has been renewed at Buena Park with the report that the Standard Oil company had leased the Seefeld property south of Buena Park, and is negotiating for other properties. The available holdings are the Bastady, Schumacher and the Bacon ranches. The leasing movement in the face of the fact that the Petroleum Midway recently abandoned a well at Buena Park is interesting. One report has it that it was "Big Business" that induced the Petroleum Midway to quit at Buena Park some three or four months ago. The James and Charles Owens Valencia orchard of twenty acres on North Lemon street will shortly be sub-divided and placed on the market by Eygabroad & Fisher.

The lots will have frontage of 48 to 55 feet and will average 155 feet in depth. Lots facing Lemon streeh will range from $2,500 to $3000 and in Clementine street from $1800 to $2500.

The various committees appointed to build up the show will begin active operations early in the new year. Tentative arrangements have been made for exhibits from virtually every citrus center in the state. The Anaheim orange growing district, including acreage both in and outside the California Fruit Growers' exchange, will ship during the 1921-22 season as many boxes as the entire northern California district, according to estimates based largely upon actual figures obtained by Gerald W. Sandilands, manager of the Anaheim Orange and Lemon association. Sandilands declares that the northern district, after moving 85 per cent of its navels, the principal crop, finds that the estimate made by the exchange, 1,280,000 boxes of navels and 764,800 boxes of Valencias, is far too high.

Duckworth has been placed in file, and the hearing will come up on December 23. The entire estate, valued at $25,000, is left to the widow, Emma L. Duckworth, during her life. The estate consists of residence property in Anaheim, to the value of $15,000, and negotiable securities, stocks and bonds to the value of $10,000. One grandson, a child of Guy L. Duckworth by his first wife, is excluded from inheriting the father's share of the estate when, as provided for in the terms of the will, it is distributed among the Duckworth heirs upon the death of the mother. Guy Duckworth resides in Honolulu. George Christman, who caused a sensation in Los Angeles by "confessing" to the murder of Leona Mayfield, formerly of Brea, Anaheim, and Capistrano in New York last August, will henceforth find the Angel City detectives turning a deaf ear to him if he attempts to tell them other stories along the same line. Various tales that Christman has told have failed to tally with the facts developed on investigation, it was said. Christman will be given a hearing December 22 before Judge Houser in Los Angeles on his application for probation after pleading guilty with his co-defendant, W. M. Carlson, to a charge of driving a car not his own. Mrs. Hazel Volz has filed suit for divorce from her husband, Lee Volz, of Fullerton, alleging cruelty as the cause of her complaint. Stormy scenes, in which at one time there were hints of a threatened double slaying, were recited in the complaint of Mrs. Volz, who is now residing at Anaheim, since separating from Volz November 30, last. The final separation resulted, she declared, when Volz informed her that he was about "to keep a date" with a girl at Balboa. Volz went to Balboa and Mrs. Volz came to her parents in Anaheim. Volz formerly lived in Anaheim and later was connected with the present Harms drug store, in Orange. The couple were married December 9, 1915, and have one son, Leo P. Volz Jr., aged 3. Volz is now a member of the drug store firm, McKelvey and Volz, having stores at Fullerton and Brea. Mrs. Volz asks for $100 a month alimony. In this connection she estimates his drug store interests to be worth $15,000 and cites his ownership of residence property, automobile and other personal property to show the reasonable nature of her demands for support.
