VOLUME LI ANAHEIM LEADS IN PRODUCTION OF ORANGES OVERTOPPED ALL THE SHIPPING POINTS IN THE COUNTY LAST YEAR Nearly Eight Thousand Acres in Citrus Fruit In This Section, With 1,171,000 Boxes Sent to Market Past Season—Northern End of the County Far Ahead of South in Acreage and Product. The leadership of the Anaheim district in orange production particularly Valenclas, is shown in an exhaustive report on citrus fruit production in the county for the 1920-21 season, prepared by County Horticultural Commissioner Earl Morris and Inspector M. J. Pickering. The local district is given shipments of 1,171,429 boxes and an acreage of 7,965. Its nearest competitor is the Fullerton district, which shipped 1,094,254 boxes on an acreage of 9,022. The only other district whicholas, $15,824,655; total, $20,133,514.

J. Pickering. The local district is given shipments of 1,171,429 boxes and an acreage of 7,965. Its nearest competitor is the Fullerton district, which shipped 1,094,254 boxes on an acreage of 9,022. The only other district which shipped more than 500,000 boxes was Orange with 817,189, on an acreage of 5,985. The two districts are far in advance not only of any other district in the county this side of the Santa Ana, but the other side. While the information on acreage was obtained directly from the packing houses themselves, some of these could give only estimates, while others had no accurate and complete figures, because they had no regular list of growers. Navels—Twenty-five houses reported shipments of 359,980 boxes or 898 cars of approximately 400 boxes each. "As nearly as could be determined," says the report, "there are 1402 bearing and 15 non-bearing acres of navels in the county. The tendency is away from Navels. Considering the great decrease in production which must inevitably follow as a result of the January freeze of 1922, in the principal Navel growing regions in other counties, a Navel orchard in Orange county may be considered a very desirable property." Valencias—Thirty-one packing houses reported shipments of 4,551,202 packed boxes or 10,970 cars. "Bearing acreage reported was 32,918 and non-bearing 2,100 acres. The combined acreage of Navels and Valencias, both bearing and non-bearing, is 36,435 acres. The United States census figures, which were obtained in the spring of 1920, and therefore give the acreage of 1919 are as follows: Non-bearing trees, 728,140; bearing trees, 1,434,078 or twice as many bearing as non-bearing trees. Taking 75 trees per acre (if planted 24 feet square, there would be 76 to an acre) there would be, according to the government figures, non-bearing 9,708 acres and bearing 19,121, or a total of 28,829 acres. Against this we have a total of 36,435 acres, a part of which, it is admitted, is estimates, but estimates backed up by production of fruit. Undoubtedly the proportion of bearing to BURGLARS STOLE SAFE Police officers and sheriff's deputies throughout Orange county Monday began a rigorous search for daring automobile burglars who Sunday night hauled away from the office of the Yost theatre at Santa Ana a 300-pound safe worth $100 and containing $20 in pennies. Lured by the fact that because the theatre, just remodeled, played to packed houses Saturday night, when it was formally opened, and again Sunday, the box office receipts must have totaled approximately $2500, the burglars planned their coupe carefully. Using probably a pocket knife, the bandits whittled a large hole in the thin panel of the box office door. This afforded access to the lock inside. Undeterred by the printed notice pasted on the safe door, "This safe is empty," the yeggmen hauled the strongbox through the theatre to a side door. Because a large truck would not have been needed to haul away the safe, which was, comparatively, a small one, it was thought likely that a light delivery car, moving more swiftly and quietly than a truck, was used. SANTA ANA WINS IN THE TRACK MEET Santa Ana high's brilliant assortment of track athletes dedicated their recently completed cinderpath Saturday afternoon by scooping up the majority of points in the tri-county invitational meet, winning the affair by a meager margin by copting the relay. The results of the scorekeeper's mathematics credited Santa Ana with 29 points; Huntington Beach with 26; Riverside, 24 2-3, San Diego, 17; Santa Monica, 15; Anaheim, 13; Compton, 8; San Diego army and navy, 2; Fulerton, 1 1-3, and Capistrano, 1. When the relay was called Huntington Beach topped the list with 26 markers. Riverside was close behind with 24 2-3, while Santa Ana had only 24. The four-man mile event was the last paragraph on the program, and the five points that went with it settled the meet. Seeing how things stood, McFadden, Tuesday, April 4th, of Anaheim and Santa on the proposal to issue construction of an outlet for the sewage.

Taking 75 trees per acre (if planted 24 feet square, there would be 76 to an acre) there would be, according to the government figures, non-bearing 9,708 acres and bearing 19,121, or a total of 28,829 acres. Against this we have a total of 36,435 acres, a part of which, it is admitted, is estimates, but estimates backed up by production of fruit. Undoubtedly the proportion of bearing to non-bearing acres as given by the government is more nearly correct, as few of the packing houses made any attempt to separate bearing and non-bearing acreage." "The census report gives 3,486,304 boxes of oranges harvested in 1919 or 8,715 carloads. Our report shows 4,965,088 boxes of all kinds, or 12,353 cars, an increase of nearly 50 per cent in two years. Orange county alone is producing more citrus fruit than all of southern California produced some years back. And this present production will be increased another 50 per cent as fast as the trees can grow it." Lemons—Of 17 houses reporting lemon shipments the La Habra Citrus association and Central Lemon association of Villa Park each handled over 400 cars during the season, in addition to those not packed. One house reported dumping over 250 tons owing to poor marketing conditions. Shipments totaled 828,459 boxes or 2,971 and one-half cars of lemons. There was 7,080 bearing and 1,975 non-bearing acres reported, or a total of 8,155 acres. Valuations—The average value of the crop f. o. b. packing house is estimated as follows: Navels and all miscellaneous varieties, $2.25 per box; Valencias, $3.50; lemons, $4.00. On this basis values are: Navels, etc., $985,023; lemons, $3,313,836; Valen- Riverside, 24 2-3, San Diego, 17; Santa Monica, 15; Anaheim, 13; Compton, 8; San Diego army and navy, 2; Fullerton, 1 1-3, and Capistrano, 1. When the relay was called Huntington Beach topped the list with 26 markers, Riverside was close behind with 24 2-3, while Santa Ana had only 24. The four-man mile event was the last paragraph on the program, and the five points that went with it settled the meet. Seeing how things stood, McFadden, Robby, Messin and Finley stepped out rather rapidly and won the relay, meet, medals, glory and everything that went with it for the Orange county seat by nosing out Santa Monica in the last lap. About the most thrilling dish on the menu was the quarter mile gallop. Seventeen athletes lined up for the one-lap event, and after a wild scramble Walter White, of Compton, oozed to the front in the last fifty yars, beating Cook, of Anaheim, to the tape by a flea's eye-lash in 53 4-5 seconds. White's victory is all the more worthy of applause because of the fact that he drew the thirteenth lane. No very startling times were made in the track events, as the cinderpath was spongy in places. However, when it has completely dried out Santa Ana will have just about the sweetest oval in the south and when the 1923 southern California championships are held there records should totter. Martin, of Riverside, heaved the discus 124 feet 4 inches and the shot 46 feet for a pair of blue ribbons,and tied for individual honors with Bickmore, of Huntington Beach; Cook, of Anaheim, and Hellman, of San Diego.

Tuesday, April 4th, both the cities of Anaheim and Santa Ana will vote on the proposal to issue bonds for the construction of an outfall sewer. Both cities are rapidly growing and have reached a point where an immediate outlet for the sewage is a necessity. Public health and public comfort demand that a different system of handling the sewage be adopted, and the only feasible plan is to carry it to the membership and has met with such success that the organization has found it necessary to increase its fruit handling facilities by making an addition to its packing house. The addition is 80x180 feet and will be used for the packing of lemons. Cameron announced that membership for this season would soon close. THE BONUS BILL The three hundred or more Anaheim veterans of the world war are watching with much interest the antics of congress in its endeavors to fabricate and pass an adjusted compensation act that will placate the soldier boys and at the same time prove the least objectionable to the money powers that are unalterably opposed to any bonus. The house of representatives last week, after much forensic oratory, passed a bill by a vote of 333 to 70, which it was hoped would place its members on record as favoring a just compensation to the soldiers, but which in reality is a lemon. When the house passed that bill every one of the 435 members was perfectly aware that it would neither pass the senate nor receive the sanction of the president. President Harding favors a bonus bill with a provision attached providing a means of financing it in order that the boys may receive immediate benefit, PAVING ORDERED ON CLEMENTINE STREET SOME OPPOSITION, BUT MAJORITY OF THE FRONTAGE IS SIGNED UP Trustees Discuus Failure of Property Owners to Cut Down Buildings to New Property Line—Proposal to Set Curbing Back Giving Such Owners a Narrow Sidewalk, Meets With Approval—Dickel House Sold, but Bid for Turck Residence Rejected. Clementine street, from Broadway to Chartres, will be paved, according to a decree of the trustees, made after hearing the report of City Manager Steward Thursday night. There is opposition on the part of some property owners, but the majority favor the improvement and it will be made. When paving of this street was first talked of it was proposed to extend the work to Cypress street, a block farther north, but it was decided to Tuesday, April 4th, both the cities of Anaheim and Santa Ana will vote on the proposal to issue bonds for the construction of an outfall sewer. Both cities are rapidly growing and have reached a point where an immediate outlet for the sewage is a necessity. Public health and public comfort demand that a different system of handling the sewage be adopted, and the only feasible plan is to carry it to the ocean. It is proposed that each city build an individual line from the city limits to a midway point, where a conjunction will be formed, and from that point a conduit will conduct the refuse from both places into the ocean. Some years ago when an effort was being made to build an outfall sewer from the inland cities to the sea, the towns along the beach raised a vigorous kick and threatened all sorts of dire reprisals if the project was not abandoned. But the beachites have withdrawn their objections and the right of way into the sea is assured. There is little opposition to the bonds in either city as the people realize the importance of carrying through the project. Santa Anans announce that there will be an overwhelming favorable vote there, as nobody wants to take the responsibility of voting against a public improvement that must be made. This is also the sentiment in Anaheim. It is not expected there will be many votes against it, but the citizens who favor it should not be over-confident. There ought to be a heavy vote polled at the election. The proposition calls for an issue of $240,000 6 per cent bonds. One hundred and sixty thousand dollars of this is for the purpose of building the Anaheim sewer to a point where it converges with a similar one from Santa Ana, and $80,000 will be necessary to carry it on in conjunction with Santa Ana to the ocean. There will be only two polling places for this election, precinct No. 1 being north of Center street, and precinct No. 2 on the south. The officials appointed for the two precincts are as follows: No. 1—C. M. Hollingshead, inspector; Freda Janssg and W. E. Duckworth, judges; Susie Jayne, Mrs. G. N. Fording and F. B. Kern, clerks. For No. 2—George Ross, inspector; E. H. Metcalf and Lelia Steadman, Judges; Elden Stark, Mrs. Ethel Chamberlain and Mrs. Mona Price, clerks. On the same day an election will be held vote of 333 to 70, which it was hoped would place its members on record as favoring a just compensation to the soldiers, but which in reality is a lemon. When the house passed that bill every one of the 435 members was perfectly aware that it would neither pass the senate nor receive the sanction of the president. President Harding favors a bonus bill with a provision attached providing a means of financing it in order that the boys may receive immediate benefit, and it is probable the senate will amend the house bill in accordance with the president's demands, and return it to the house. Then the members of that body must go on record as either proving faithful to their promises to the soldiers while the war was in progress, or when the enemy's teeth have been pulled and the danger is passed, proving recrent to their promises at the behest of the money power. Class legislation is forbbidden by the constitution, which is to be regretted now. It would be a source of satisfaction to a great majority of the people if a substantial bonus law could be adopted and the money to finance it could be forced from the pockets of the profiteers who took advantage of war times to rob the people of billions of dollars in excess profits, of the contractors who pocketed the largest part of the 26 billion dollars the war cost the government, and of the men who escaped military duty, drew from six to twelve dollars a day in wages, and were ceaselessly clamoring for shorter hours or more pay. The soldiers were under the orders of their boss twenty-four hours a day, and drew one dollar for each day's work. They were dragged, most of them arbitrarily, from their business, from their jobs and from their homes, sent into the trenches or onto the blood-soaked fields of France, where they faced death in violent form. They sacrificed business opportunities or high wages at home, and the legion is asking an additional compensation of only one dollar per day for those who remained in the camps and a dollar and a quarter for those who were sent to Europe to face the enemy. Fearful of the influence of the moneyed profiteers the house has turned down the legion bill and compromised by offering the boys a twenty-year paid up insurance policy. It is believed the senate will amend the bill in accordance with the recommendation of the legion, and provide vote of 333 to 70, which it was hoped would place its members on record as favoring a just compensation to the soldiers, but which in reality is a lemon.

When paving of this street was first talked of it was proposed to extend work to Cypress street, a block farther north, but it was decided to stop at Chartres' street and connect with the pavement now being laid on that thoroughfare. Failure of the owners of certain business buildings on onthe side of center street west of Lemon to comply with the request to cut back their frontages to new property line, has broughtthe matter to a point where some action must be taken.

Mills at the corner of North and Los Angeles streets, but the citizens of Anaheim will have nothing to do with that except extending a welcoming hand to the people outside who are going to vote themselves inside the city at that time. There is some opposition, but advocates of annexation believe the vote will be favorable by a good majority. One of the peculiar things about this election is that the property voted in on that day will not be required to pay taxes on the sewer bond issue, as the bonds will be voted before the property becomes a part of the city. Sample ballots for the election were mailed out by City Clerk Merritt last Friday as the law requires them to be mailed ten days before the election. NEW ASSOCIATION Declaring that many citrus growers who have been selling their fruit to independents have come to realize the sales value of the Sunkist brand of oranges L. E. Cameron states that a large number of growers have become identified with the Foothills Valencia Growers' association, formerly the Red Fox Orchards, since that organization became identified with the California Fruit exchange a few weeks ago. Cameron has been increasing the is asking an additional compensation of only one dollar per day for those who remained in the camps and a dollar and a quarter for those who were sent to Europe to face the enemy. Fearful of the influence of the moneyed profiteers the house has turned down the legion bill and compromised by offering the boys a twenty-year paid up insurance policy. It is believed the senate will amend the bill in accordance with the recommendation of the legion, and provide a means of financing it, either by a sales tax or the sale of bonds. FALKENSTEINS OFF FOR EUROPE Mr. and Mrs. William Falkenstein and daughter, Edith, will leave Monday for a four-months' visit to Europe. They will go first to San Francisco, and after a short visit with their son, Stanley, who is a student at California university, will board the train for New York. Stops will be made at Chicago, Niagara Falls and probably other points. On April 15 they expect to sail on the steamship America. They expect to tour England, France, Germany, Austria and Switzerland, and will see most of the great capitals of Europe. On the return trip they will stop for a time in New York, where Mr. Falkenstein will purchase a stock of fall novelties. He expects also to establish a purchasing agency in New York, which will keep his store supplied with the latest goods. They expect to reach home by the middle of August. The appointment by Marshal Steadman of L. O. Whalen on the police force, to take the place of Harry Baldwin, resigned, was approved by—the trustees Thursday night. Whalen, who has been down with the flu, is now on duty. Ordinance No. 420, granting the Union Pacific company a right of way through the city, was passed. It gives the company a fifty-year franchise to use a strip north and south through the city paralleling Atchison street. Work of grading the road from Whittler to Santa Ana is expected to begin immediately. A numerously-signed petition of Broadway residents was presented asking the trustees to restrain George Fletcher from moving a house to the sidewalk line at the corner of Broadway and Olive. The petitioners want the house set back in line with the other buildings on Broadway. There is no law to appeal to in this case, but the city manager was instructed to use pursuasion and induce Mr. Fletcher, if possible, to comply with the request of his neighbors. A protest was also filed against the establishment of funeral parlors at the corner of Broadway and Lemon. A building on this corner was recently purchased by H. E. Billig, and is being converted into a mortuary. It has been leased by Walter S. Huddle, who will conduct a business known as the Huddle Funeral Home. No action was taken on the protest, but it will be considered at a later meeting. Trustees Gates, chairman of the ordinance committee, stated that he had requested the merchants' association to draft a new license ordinance, and that it would be ready for presentation to the board soon. President Harry Riley and Secretary Malcolm Fraser, of the Chamber ROTARIANS EAT CAKE ON FIRST BIRTHDAY THE SANTA ANA CLUB PRESENTS THEM WITH HUGE CHUNK OF PASTRY Glenn Hartranft, Stanford Athlete, Makes Medest Speech at Monday's Meeting—Milk Inspector, Ray Hason, Talks on the Importance of Certified Milk to a Community—Program Being Prepared for Ladies' Night, April 21. The Rotary club celebrates the first anniversary of its organization at the Elks' club house Monday. In honor of the event a huge cake, presented by the Santa Ana Rotarians, arrived under escort of Mack Robbins, a delegate from the county seat organization. Mr. Robbins made a speech in presenting the cake and passed out a few compliments to the members. Dr. Johnston responded to Mr. Robbins' speech and recounted some of the... from Broadway saved, according to trustees, made af-ft of City Man-ny night. There part of some pro-majority favor will be made. Street was first closed to extend street, a block was decided to rest and connect new being laid on cross, who is in charge of carrying out county park improvements, has gone over the park thoroughly and is prepared to make a recommendation to the board possibly at its meeting next Tuesday. Northcross has two sites in mind, either of which he believes offers an opportunity for the construction of a Greek theatre that would seat many hundreds of persons. Among organizations that have used the park at various times for public speaking, there has been a feeling that speakers have had too much to contend with to make public speaking at the park a success, under present arrangements. Whenever there is a crowd gathered for the speaking there are always dozens of others around who are not at all interested in the speaking and oftentimes the noise made by them makes it impossible for a speaker to be heard even throughout the pavilion. For that reason, the supervisors have felt that if there were a place in the park somewhat removed from the principal picnicking place, public speaking could be conducted without the difficulties now encountered. The announcement of the probability of the establishment of an outdoor amphitheater, it was pointed out, will prove of great interest to residents of the county who are interested in amateur theatricals. “There are a number of places in the park,” said Northcross, “where the lay of the ground is such that a good theatre could be built. The supervisors have not yet selected a site.” Northcross said that there is an exceptionally fine site in a small sanyon that comes into the Santiago just above the main picnic grounds of the park. “We have built a trail up this canyon for some distance,” said Northcross, “as a recreation trail for visitors at the park. Up the side-canyon about fifty yards from the county road which goes up the Santiago canyon through the park is a spot that looks ideally suited for the making of an outdoor theatre. There is a bowl in the formation of the hill, and at the bottom is a natural stage with a fine old oak tree on it. I haven’t measured the slope, but off-hand I’d say it could be terraced and seated for a distance of seventy-five yards up from the stage.” Northcross expects to show the supervisors another site that is further removed from the main grounds of the Rotary club celebrater the first anniversary of its organization at the Elks’ club house Monday. In honor of the event a huge cake, presented by the Santa Ana Rotarians, arrived under escort of Mack Robbins, a delegate from the county seat organization. Mr. Robbins made a speech in presenting the cake and passed out a few complicents to the members. Dr. Johnston responded to Mr. Robbins’ speech and recounted some of the things the Rotarians had accomplished during the first year of their activity here. He expected, however, to see them accomplish much more during the second year. One of the guests of the evening wak Glenn Hartranft, who accompanied his father, S. C. Hartranft, to the meeting. Last Saturday, in the athletic contest between the universities of Stanford and U. S. C., this young man jumped into prominence as one of California’s greatest athletes. Out of 85 points made by Stanford in the contests he won sixteen. He broke the California record in the discus throw by heaving the disc 147 feet, 3 inches. He heaved the shot 49 feet 9 3-4 inches, being the only man in California to reach 49 feet, 6 inches within the past ten years. He ran a hundred yards in 10 flat, and was third in the 220-yard dash. He was prevailed upon by the Rotarians to speak, but refused to boast about himself and his prowess on the field, consequently his dad recounted a few of the things Glenn did to win the meet for his university. Dr. J. W. Truxaw was chairman for the day, and introduced Dr. Ray Hasson, a state milk inspector, formerly a member of the state board of health. He spoke of the importance of pure milk to a community. Inspection of milk in Fullerton had improved the quality both in that city and Anaheim, because certain dairies deliver to both cities and have qualified as Class A. Dr. Newkirk reported that April 21st would be ladies’ night, and a series of entertainments was being prepared for the occasion. PROTECTION FOR WALNUTS Already immeasurably heartened by recent forecasts made by association executives that the 1922 crop promised to set a record, walnut growers throughout Orange county and California were more than ever elated on Monday when it became known that through the park is a spot that looks ideally suited for the making of an outdoor theatre. There is a bowl in the formation of the hill, and at the bottom is a natural stage with a fine old oak tree on it. I haven't measured the slope, but off-hand I'd say it could be terraced and seated for a distance of seventy-five yards up from the stage." Northcross expects to show the supervisors another site that is further removed from the main grounds of the park. PRESERVE HISTORICAL HOME With the first payment made on eight lots embracing the site of the old home place of the late James McFadden made by a group of ten Santa Ana men, members of the group will go before the Orange County Historical society at its next meeting and present plans for conserving the site as an historical feature for Santa Ana. The men who have each contributed a like amount to the fund for the purchase of the property are Dr. C. D. Ball, John Cubbon, C. S. Crookshank, A. J. Crookshank, Charles F. Heil, A. J. McFadden, J. P. Baumgartner, E. M. Smiley, H. J. Forgy, and S. H. Finley. The men have bought the property purely for its preservation as a historic feature of the city. It is declared the group would like to see the city take charge of the land and develop a park, the historical society to assume responsibility for maintenance of the house. Action of the group has made this possible. It is understood that Mrs. James McFadden will maintain the grounds for a year, at least. "But she has a charming personality." is another way of saying she isn't very good-looking. PROTECTION FOR WALNUTS Already immeasurably heartened by recent forecasts made by association executives that the 1922 crop promised to set a record, walnut growers throughout Orange county and California were more than ever elated on Monday when it became known that the finance committee of the United States senate had recommended a tariff duty of 4 cents a pound on unshelled walnuts and 12 cents a pound on shelled walnuts. Commenting upon the proposed schedules, Harry W. Lewis, president of the Santa Ana Walnut Growers' association, said that the announcement from Washington would serve vastly to encourage the walnut industry. "The tariff recommendation is entirely satisfactory," he said. "We did not expect the duty would be set at those figures. Now that our expectations have been exceeded, we are, of course, more than pleased. "While it is my belief that the schedules will be changed when the tariff bill gets on the floor of the senate, nevertheless the California walnut growers are entitled to a duty of 4 cents on unshelled and 12 cents on shelled walnuts." POST MORTEMS There is a new periodical in the book-stalls entitled "The Wilsonian," described as "a national monthly publication that champions the ideals and policies of our great ex-president." He must be a courageous editor, indeed, who anticipates any considerable number of subscribers to such a magazine. One might as well dedicate a paper to the teachings of Voliva, of Zion City. The doctrines of both are dead.
