Ray Fisher is building four residences on the Valencia Square subdivision, which he will offer for sale as soon as completed. John Brunworth, recently chosen a member of the flood protection committee, has resigned and C. E. Jones was elected to fill the vacancy. The 20-acre Gray ranch on the Brookhurst road, has been purchased by H. Kohl, of the Anaheim nurseries, and will be set to Valencias. There is a big demand for Valencia ground in this region since the cold spell. The census says there are 21,849,266 married men and 500,000 fewer married women. Here's where we are up a tree: Unless some of the ladies are caring for more than one husband, how does it happen that there are more married men than women? Herman Efker and his entire family, with the exception of the youngest member, have been down with the flu for several days past. Herman was the first to recover, and he is now making a stab at housekeeping until his wife is able to take command. Chas. H. Mann sold nine new Dodge cars and six used cars during the month of February.

CENTER ST Phone 135-W More school room is an imperative necessity. Five hundred pupils have been added to the rolls of the grammar schools since the opening of this term, and the trustees have decided to build another eight-room house. A site on Broadway at Citron, abutting on the Fremont grounds in the rear, is being considered. Monday, March 20, will be American Legion Employment Day throughout the United States. On that day every post will make an effort to secure positions for all able-bodied ex-service men who are out of work. The officers of Anaheim post are preparing a list of the men in this city not now in business or employed. John P. Krempel, architect, and Geo. E. Talbert, contractor, came down from Los Angeles the latter part of the week to view the grounds where the new Hariman building is to be erected on East Center street, adjoining The Gazette office. Mr. Krempel designed the building and Mr. Talbert has the contract for its construction. It will cost $15,000. Employers and employees, members of the Orange County Trades association, enjoyed a banquet and meeting at the Anaheim high school Thursday night. A large number of Santa Ana automobile dealers and their employees attended the meeting. Robert Martland, president of the Southern Auto Trades association, was the principal speaker. M. E. Drum, a character analyst, was also a speaker of the evening. There were 175 present for the occasion. The Vernon baseball team came down to play Tustin Sunday, but finding that the grounds were too wet for a game, they became peeved and whipped Manager Harry Kaiser, of the Tustin team, and his wife.

Elliott has announced himself as a candidate for trustee of the grammar school at the election to be held Friday, March 25. Wm. H. Chambers is the retiring member of the board. Mr. Chambers has served as a member of the board for a number of years, and will probably be a candidate for re-election. By a vote of three to two the board of supervisors Tuesday ousted Earl Morris from the office of county horticultural commissioner, and placed A. A. Brock, of Santa Paula, on the job. All the citrus associations of the northern half of the county supported Morris for reappointment, but the south, headed by D. Eyman Huff, had the strongest pull with the board. Friday is St. Patrick's day. Since the passing of Judge Shanley this day has not been observed as religiously and enthusiastically as it was while the judge was living and able to mingle with his friends. Always on the morning of the 17th of March he appeared on the street with the favorite color of Erin conspicuously displayed, and everybody he met was apprised of the fact that although the good old saint had been dead for fifteen hundred years, he still lived in the hearts of the Irish. A charge of reckless automobile driving was preferred by the Anaheim police, Saturday, against F. W. Smith, who was arrested at the Southern Pa. Sam Frazee, the 17-year-old youth who disappeared from his home two weeks ago, returned Sunday, a much wiser boy than when he left. The report that he had gone to Florida was without foundation, Sam declares. He and Bill Skully, a New York youth who enticed him away, went down into Mexico to capture bandits, expecting to reap a rich harvest collecting rewards for scalps, but they found the country so disgustingly peaceable that there was no fun or profit in the game. Surviving her husband but a few weeks, Mrs. Katherine Yorba, aged 62 years, died at her home in El Modena Sunday. Antonio Yorba, her husband and head of the Yorba family, died on February 23. The Yorba family is an old California family that has been in this section since the early days. Four daughters survive Mrs. Yorba. They are Mrs. R. Bracomontes, Mrs. A. M. Sepulveda, Mrs. Sadie Sanford and Mrs. Dominguez. Services directed by Mills and Winbigler were held from St. Joseph's Catholic church Monday afternoon. Interment was made at Fairhaven cemetery by the side of her husband. THE CUMBERLAND MYSTERY New features in the case of Julius F. Cumberland, wealthy retired rancher, whose body was found on the sand at Sunset Beach last Saturday afternoon with a railroad iron tied to his neck with a wire, were brought to light on Monday in the report of Los Angeles detectives detailed on the case. The report was received by Sheriff C. E Jackson shortly afternoon Monday. Facts already obtained in the case are in some instances corroborated and new details have been added. The Los Angeles detectives are of the opinion that the business transactions A charge of reckless automobile driving was preferred by the Anaheim police, Saturday, against F. W. Smith, who was arrested at the Southern Pacific railway crossing west of town late Friday. Reports reached the police that Smith was driving in an apparently intoxicated condition. He had finally wrecked his car beside the road when the officers reached him, it is said. Sheriff C. E. Jackson was notified of the affair and made a trip to Smith's house, northwest of Anaheim, where he confiscated, he said, a quantity of wine. Four hundred and fifty parking spaces have been marked off on the pavement in the business section by Fred Gresswell, official city artist, and Mr. Gresswell hopes all drivers will understand that these lines are not to be straddled by autos. On North Claudina street, between the sanitarium and the Johnston-Wickett hospital, cars on the east side are supposed to park at the usual angle of 45 degrees, but on the opposite side they are to flatten themselves against the curb. The street is narrow, and with autos on both sides angling into the roadway there is not room between them for two cars to pass. Deaths from automobile accidents in California in 1921 amounted to 885, according to estimates compiled by L. E. Ross, director of the bureau of vital statistics of the state board of health. This total does not include deaths wherein railroad trains or street cars were contributing factors, as in crossing accidents. Ross said the death toll from automobile accidents was growing each year, pointing out that in 1920 there were only 804 deaths from the same causes. During 1921 the month of October led with ninety-two deaths and May was second with ninety. The Alexander Giants, the classy colored baseball team of Los Angeles, defeated here two weeks ago by a score of 18 to 0, wiped out the dispute under which they were laboring Attachment of $10,000 worth of mules, ranch implements and other personal property belonging to the American Fruit Growers' Incorporated, of California, made Sheriff C. E. Jackson, of Orange county, defendant in a $10,000 damage suit which was on file in the superior court Saturday. The Fidelity and Deposit company, of Maryland, surety on Jackson's official bond, were also made defendants in the action. Jackson filed the attachment February 25 in connection with a certain civil action brought by H. J. Osborne. The sheriff acted in his official capacity. On March 2 the owners of the property claim to have served written notice on him to release their property, which action was refused. The sum of $10,000 damages, together with $82 alleged to have been expense incurred in the matter is attributed to the different political subdivisions by the state, such as school moneys at the rate of $30 per pupil; motor vehicle moneys collected in the county, one-half of which is returned for use on highways. INCREASED BEAN ACREAGE PREDICTED "I believe that the coming season will witness increased acreage and greatly increased production in Orange county bean fields," declared R. L. Churchill, secretary-manager of the California Lima Bean Growers' association, Friday. Secretary Churchill spoke before a dozen members of the bean growers' department of the Orange county farm bureau at James' cafe, Santa Ana, at noon. He outlined the co-operative marketing scheme which was introduced at the meeting held Saturday afternoon at 1:30 in the Santa Ana city hall. "The moisture of the past winter has produced ideal bean conditions," he continued. "In view of the fact that peas and beets have not been successful in Orange county, I believe that many farmers will turn over the lands formerly used to produce these vegetables, and grow beans." Churchill spoke before a group consisting of Farm Advisor H. E. Wahlberg, Secretary R. D. Flaherty, Edward Chaffee, F. D. Plavan, W. C. Jerome, M. H. Butcher, Charles F. Ward, H. L. Wakeman, C. H. Dunning and William Armstrong. COLORADO PICNIC All who ever lived in Colorado are invited to meet for the great annual picnic reunion, all day Saturday, March 25th, in Sycamore Grove park, Los Angeles. Come as early as you can and spend the day with friends. We will have county registers and The Alexander Giants, the classy colored baseball team of Los Angeles, defeated here two weeks ago by a score of 18 to 0, wiped out the disgrace under which they were laboring Sunday afternoon, and also wiped up the diamond with the state champions. It appears the colored boys had all recovered from the flu and the Anaheim boys were suffering severely with it. At any rate the visitors were full of pep and ginger, while the locals put up a woozy game, punctuated with errors. Next Sunday the Giants will come down again. As each team has won a game, next Sunday's game will decide which of the two is the best amateur ball team in California. Another chiropractor trial in the superior court was delayed by illness on Monday. This time it was the defendant, Vanetta Henderson, of Fullerton, who was ill, instead of the chiropractor attorney, Griffith Jones, whose illness delayed the trial of Dr. A. D. Anderson, of Santa Ana. Dr. Henderson's trial was continued to March 23 at 9:30 a.m. She is charged with practicing without a license from the state board of medical examiners. When the hour for opening the trial arrived, there was a message from Dr. Henderson, apprising the court of her illness and inability to appear. A recess was taken to 11 a.m. while Attorney Jones made a trip to Fullerton personally to investigate. He verified the defendant's state of health and the trial was, accordingly, posponed. Jackson filed the attachment February 25 in connection with a certain civil action brought by H. J. Osborne. The sheriff acted in his official capacity. On March 2 the owners of the property claim to have served written notice on him to release their property, which action was refused. The sum of $10,000 damages, together with $82 alleged to have been expense incurred in the matter, is asked in the suit, which was filed by the legal firm of Bordwell and Matthews, of Los Angeles, which is headquartered of the plaintiff company. PER CAPITA TAX IN ORANGE COUNTY IS $64.56 The average cost to each resident in Orange county will be $64.56 in taxes for the year 1921-1922, according to the statement issued by State Controller Ray L. Riley, whose department has been busy for some time compiling data on tax burdens. Orange county's total tax bill for the year 1921-1922 amounts to $4,138,321.69. Estimating the population to be sixty-four thousand and one hundred the per capita cost is $64.56. According to Riley the tax levy includes the general county levy of $2,036,252.41. The balance is made up of taxes for the city of Anaheim amounting to $75,428.63; Brea, $22,027.16; Fullerton, $194,421.59; Huntington Beach, $72,194.56; Newport Beach, $78,380.00; Orange, $69,178.56; Santa Ana, $155,486.00; Seal Beach, $9,697.87; Stanton, $6,307.80.

RIVAL OF FORD CAR GIVEN HIGH PRAISE The $348 car which W. C. Durant is to build was unveiled in Washington and is on exhibition in the Connecticut avenue show-rooms of Harper Brothers. Durant and a party of friends and associates arrived on a special Pullman car to be present at the first showing. "The new product is to be known as..."

"The Starr car has created a great deal of interest among those who have seen it. They did not think it was possible to build a car which embodies so many features of the higher price classes to sell in competition with the lowest priced cars heretofore on the market. It has a four-cylinder Continental Red Seal motor, and the touring car is built to carry five passengers in comfort. Mechanical features include a disc clutch, selective sliding transmission with three forward speeds and reverse. Timken bearings in front and rear wheels, together with Timken axle and Hotchkiss type drive shaft. The body of the Starr car is of full stream-line design, with a high hood and slanting windshield. It will be produced in all popular models. It has semi-eleptic spirals, vacuum feed gasoline tank, and is electrically equipped." Since the announcement was first made, three weeks ago, many confections concerning the new car have been current throughout the country. Quantity delivery by June first is promised. WATCH FOR ROAD HOGS Spring is here, say officials of the Automobile Club of Orange county. The increased number of cars on the road over Saturday and Sunday plainly shows that the fear of bad weather and roads has lifted and the California motorists have again started their motor week-end. "California motorists have something to be thankful for that other motorists do not have," A. S. Ralph, manager of the Automobile Club of Orange county, said, "and that is, the possibility of spending nearly every week-end in their automobiles. With the coming of spring, many cars are overhaulied and made ready for the summer and spring months and then the fun begins. Also, the fun begins for us, because with the increase of traffic on the road comes an increase of accidents. Our old friends, the road hog and the careless driver, are always with us in the spring and summer months. They are out to have the best of the road and a good time and they don't care what else happens. Watch out for them and be prepared to find them anywhere." The state of California will soon make appointment of a mechanical engineer for the department of institutions, who will have charge of the engineering work in the thirteen institutions of the state. The position carries an entrance salary of $275 a month, with prospects of an increase to $350 a month. Appointment will be made from a list to be secured by the civil service commission at Sacramento, from which commission full particulars may be obtained on application.
