NO OPPOSITION TO BACKS AND SLEEPER RE-ELECTION OF CLERK AND ASSESSOR WILL PROBABLY BE MADE UNANIMOUS Both Have Made Enviable Records as County Officials and Will Be Kept on the Job—Fight for Sheriff Is Going to Be the Hottest Contest in the County—Four Candidates Are After Sheriff Jackson's Official Badge. Men ambitious to serve the people in an official capacity in the county court house, are now coming out of the woods and making their wants known. There will be several contests at the primary election, but some who now hold office are not expected to have opposition. Undoubtedly the hottest race, for any of the county offices is the contest for sheriff. Naturally Sheriff Jackson, who has made a splendid record as the county's chief peace officer, desires to retain his job, while four good men and true who are ambitions. GASOLINE DEALERS ARE OBEYING THE LAW George McPhee Commends the County Service Station Men The local purveyors of gasoline at filling stations, garages or other places where it may be sold are not guilty of abusing seal-breaking privileges, as they are said to be in some other parts of the state, was declared by George McPhee, county sealer of weights and measures. McPhee's defense of Orange county gasoline dealers was made with reference to a complaint contained in a circular letter issued by state headquarters to all county sealers ordering them to withdraw the privileges herefore accorded dealers, who were permitted under cetrain conditions to break the official seals on gasoline pumps. "The dealers in this county are not abusing the privilege," said McPhee, referring to the withdrawal order which stated that there have been 'numerous abuses,' and that dealers were 'taking advantage of the courtesies extended them." "It has been my practice," said McPhee, "to allow repair men to break the seals on gasoline pumps when repairs were necessary. After such repairs were made, I always inspect the pump personally and place a fresh seal on it." The withdrawal order was a part of CONTRACT FOR COURTESY STATE A. H. PIBEL WIFE FIRST BUILD CITY Grand Stand in Park May Be Purple—Judge Kuchel an Increase in Sever Ballard Gives Steadman—Bids Pipe to Be Called The first step toward city park was taken when the trustees tract for erecting A. H. Pibel, at a cemetery opened at a but all were rejoiced were deemed to have tract was therefore Pibel at a cost considerable amount of the bids started at once. City Clerk Merritt Undoubtedly the hottest race for any of the county offices is the contest for sheriff. Naturally Sheriff Jackson, who has made a splendid record as the county's chief peace officer, desires to retain his job, while four good men and true, who are ambitious to succeed him, think he has held it long enough. Those who have entered the race against him are Ralph McFadden, of this city, Motorcycle Officer O. K. Carr, Sam Jernigan, city marshal of Santa Ana, and Andrew J. Cock, also of Santa Ana. All the candidates except McFadden live in Santa Ana. The fight for sheriff will be an unusually interesting one. For county clerk the present encumbeht, Joe M. Backs, so far has no opposition, and it is not expected that anybody will care to take changes on such a forlorn hope as the prospect of defeating him. Joe has served one full term and a fraction of another term, having been elected to the position by the supervisors to fill the vacancy caused by the resignation of W. B. Williams. For many years he served as a chief deputy under Bry Williams, and he made such an efficient record that on Williams' retirement the supervisors unhestatingly appointed him to the vacant place. That he has made good is evidenced by his standing among other officials throughout the state, as he is regarded as one of the most efficient county clerks in California. The bench and bar of Orange county support him unanimously, and strongly advocate his retention in office. Joe Backs is an Anaheim man. He was born in this city, and his entire life was spent here until some years ago he was made county manager of the Home Telephone company and transferred to headquarters at Santa Ana. He was popular as a boy, as a youth and as a man in this section of the county, and has the undivided backing of the people. Should some venturesome man appear in the ring to dispute with him for the clerkship there will still be but one candidate in the field in this neck o' woods. In this end of the county all are agreed that Joe's able administration of the affairs of his office entitled him to reelection, and they are going to hand him a solid vote. GROWERS BUYING GROVES Orange county citrus growers, competing with easterners in making purchases of orange and lemon acreage in this county, have the whip hand, in that they are right on the ground and will let slip no opportunity to make investments. Romaine Berger, of the C. B. Berger company, of Anaheim, sales agents for Cerro Villa heights, said to be the largest citrus sub-division recently placed on the market in northern Orange county, called attention to this when he stated that fully 75 per cent of the sales being made in the tract are to local orange growers. Among the Orange county men who have made purchases there are J. Roy Smith, Dr. Leon Patrick, John Kogge, George W. Smith, William Lusk and John Wilson, of Orange; Charles O. Thompson, of Villa Park; E. H. Paddock, El Modena; A. Yturrey, of Pla- The first step toward city park was taken when the trustees tract for erecting a A. H.

Should some venturesome man appear in the ring to dispute with him for the clerkship there will still be but one candidate in the field in this neck o' woods. In this end of the county all are agreed that Joe's able administration of the affairs of his office entitled him to re-election, and they are going to hand him a solid vote. Another county official who has made such an enviable reputation that probably no man will have the temerity to oppose him is James Sleeper, county assessor. Jim has held this important office for a good many years, and each year when the assessment roll is completed and turned in the wisdom of the people in electing and retaining him in office has been emphasized. His is a difficult position to fill. Owing to the rapid development and increase in valuations in this county it has been a difficult matter to keep pace with the progress and to place just and equitable valuations on all property each year, but Sleeper has been equal to the task. It required a man of courage and excellent judgment to do it. He is the man who conceived and put in force the idea that the big oil companies should pay a just tax on the output of their fields. There have been numerous protests and law suits against his assessments, but in every one his judgment has been upheld and his assessment sustained. Every taxpayer in Orange county is now paying less tax because Sleeper had the courage to force the big oil producers to pay their just proportion. You may be one of those who don't understand your own child—but your neighbors do, largest citrus sub-division recently placed on the market in northern Orange county, called attention to this when he stated that fully 75 per cent of the sales being made in the tract are to local orange growers. Among the Orange county men who have made purchases there are J. Roy Smith, Dr. Leon Patrick, John Kogge, George W. Smith, William Lusk and John Wilson, of Orange; Charles O. Thompson, of Villa Park; E. H. Paddock, El Modena; A. Yturrey, of Placentia; Martin Hausladen, of Anaheim, and Nelson McArthur, of Santa Ana. Out-of-the-county investors in the tract include residents of Sierra Madre, San Gabriel, Los Angeles and Regina, Canada. Inquiries regarding the tract are being received from as far east as New York and as far north as the state of Washington, Berger said. "Many business and professional men who live in other parts of the country are particularly interested when they find it is possible to obtain acreage of thrifty, young orange groves at a reasonable price," he stated. "This is especially true in the case of the groves available in Cerro Villa heights, back of which project is an organization equipped to take care of the groves until such time as they come into bearing and the owners desire to take care of them themselves." This office has received a letter from our old friend, P. R. Donahoe, of Pittsburgh, in which he expresses the hope that his Anaheim friends are all prosperous and happy. We expect to see Mr. and Mrs. Donahoe here again when the snow begins to fly in the east. Two boy scouts of knowledge of giving they had effected two at Balboa Beach last noon.

PIBEL WILL ERECT THE FIRST BUILDING ON NEW CITY PARK Grand Stand in Fullerton Baseball Park May Be Purchased by the City—Judge Kuchel Asks Trustees for an Increase in Salary—Special Officer Ballard Given Lay-Off By Chief Steadman—Bids for More Sewer Pipe to Be Called For. The first step toward building in the city park was taken Thursday evening when the trustees awarded the contract for erecting a comfort station to A. H. Pibel, at a cost of $5012. Bids were opened at a previous meeting, but all were rejected as the figures were deemed to high. A private contract was therefore made with Mr. Pibel at a cost considerably below the amount of the bids. The work will be started at once. City Clerk Merritt was instructed to FRED TUFFREE ESCAPES FROM COUNTY HOSPITAL Supposed By Officers to Be on Way to Mexico Fred Tuffree, of Placentia, who was in the county hospital undergoing treatment for mind disorder, made his escape Thursday night. From remarks Tuffree was said to have made to the authorities prior to his departure, he was believed to have headed toward Mexico with the intention of never returning should he succeed in crossing the border. According to Under Sheriff E. E. French, who saw Tuffree at the hospital Thursday, the latter calmly assured him that he would not remain in the hospital. Tuffree, it was said, hinted at troubles which he seemingly blamed for his own self-realized mental condition. Believing that unrestrained freedom from confinement and mental strain would restore him to a normal state, he told French that "he knew he was off, but would recover if he had the proper chance." "I don't intend to stay here," he told French, it was said. "And if I get out, I'll be gone for good," he was said to have added. Little attention was paid to the remark, but early Friday it was discovered that Tuffree had carried out his threat. Bars pried from his cell revealed the manner of egress. FULLERTON MAY JOIN OUTFALL SEWER NORTHERN CITY EXPERIENCING DIFFICULTIES WITH SEPTIC TANK PROBLEMS Necessary for the City to Seek an Outlet for its Sewage—Anaheim and Santa Ana Expect to Carry on the Work as Rapidly as Possible—Contractors From Various Sections of the Country Anxious to Bid on the Job. Fullerton will probably settle its sewer question by joining with Santa Ana and Anaheim in the ocean outfall. That city has had the same difficulty Anaheim experiences in establishing a septic tank beyond the city limits, and the people realize the only logical plan of disposing of the sewage is to carry it out to sea. In the meantime, Santa Ana and Anaheim are going ahead with the joint plans as rapidly as possible, and are not much interested in the action of The first step toward building in the city park was taken Thursday evening when the trustees awarded the contract for erecting a comfort station to A. H. Pibel, at a cost of $5012. Bids were opened at a previous meeting, but all were rejected as the figures were deemed to high. A private contract was therefore made with Mr. Pibel at a cost considerably below the amount of the bids. The work will be started at once. City Clerk Merritt was instructed to advertise for bids for the construction of a grand stand on the ball grounds in the city park, plans having been accepted by the board. The grand stand in Commonwealth park, Fullerton, have been inspected by city officials, and as it meets the requirements, the board may purchase it, provided it can be had at a reasonable figure. If this cannot be secured contract will be let for a new stand. City Recorder Charles Kuchel thinks $75 per month is not sufficient pay for the work required of the city's police judge at present, and petitioned for an increase to $125 per month. He states that he will devote his entire time to the office in case the advance is allowed. With six policemen actively engaged in running in violators of the traffic law and other ordinances, the judge is kept pretty busy, and has little time to devote to any pursuit outside his official duties. The matter was referred to the police committee. Perry Ballard, special police officer and plain clothes man, was given an indefinite lay-off by Chief Steadman, and the police committee endorsed the action. Steadman gave as his reason that Ballard's services were not needed at present, and he might be reinstated at some future date. Ballard's specialty was running down bootleggers, and it is presumed that he had either rounded them all up or frightened them out of business, consequently his services were no longer needed. The clerk was instructed to advertise for bids for 10,123 feet of six inch sewer pipe, 16 man holes, 11 flush tanks and 338 Y's. This will be used in extending the sewer to the Moore, Jewett, Fern, Monte Vista and Dolan tracts. The cost will be about $9000. The pipe will lay nearly two miles of sewer. H. V. Weisel, the new city attorney, was on hand as legal advisor to the board. OIL MAN DISAPPEARS Whereabouts of Virgil R. Robinson, employed by the Standard Oil company near Placentia, and the reasons for his strange disappearance were unanswered questions which the authorities are attempting to fathom. Robinson dropped suddenly out of sight Saturday, his departure, his departure being discovered when he failed to keep a dinner engagement with friends in Fullerton, at whose home Robinson's wife and 11-year-old daughter were waiting for him. Later his abandoned automobile was found on the highway near Northam station and it was learned that, after inquiring at the station regarding the trains, he started walking toward Norwolk. There the trail was lost. Whether a temporary mental or domestic troubles caused Robinson's disappearance were alternative thorles suggested by the authorities, who favored the insanity theory. Under Sheriff E. E. French, who investigated the case, was told by Robinson's wife, he said, that the man's home life was happy and that his business affairs were in nowse tangled. The wife was at a loss to account for his disappearance. Robinson was employed on the Kraemer lease near Placentia, but made home arrest. Fullerton will probably settle its sewer question by joining with Santa Ana and Anaheim in the ocean outfall. That city has had the same difficulty Anaheim experiences in establishing a septic tank beyond the city limits, and the people realize the only logical plan of disposing of the sewage is to carry it out to sea. In the meantime, Santa Ana and Anaheim are going ahead with the joint plans as rapidly as possible, and are not much interested in the action of Fullerton. Both cities voted bonds by a heavy majority for the construction of the work. Letters are being received from contractors in all parts of the United States who are anxious to bid on the work. Discussing the matter Monday City Engineer Knox, of Santa Ana said: "With the completion of the surveys, a long step has been taken, and the rest will be a matter of hard work on the part of all concerned. "One of the chief things to be considered, in connection with installing the sewer, is the matter of rights of way. Although we anticipate no serious delays in this connection, it remains for the city attorneys to advise us to the proper course to pursue. "Within the next few weeks, I hope to be able to make a tour of inspection with City Manager O. E. Steward, of Anaheim, for the purpose of inspecting the treatment plants used by other cities." "I do not know just how many men will be employed in the work of installing the sewerage system, but I should think there will be upward of 80 or 100 men actively employed when the work starts." Knox said that, among other things, the construction of the system would require the use of 4 1-2 miles of 36-inch pipe, which probably will be of reinforced concrete. This type of pipe, the city engineer said, is being used in a number of the leading cities throughout the country and has proven satisfactory in every way. The treatment plant, to be operated in connection with the joint outfall sewer, will be erected below the Talbert bridge, at an estimated cost of $75,000. "The outfall sewer, when completed, will be one of the best assets any city could have," said Knox, in discussing the benefits of the proposed improvement. The proportionate cost which each city shall pay for the joint outfall is 75 per cent by Santa Ana and 25 per cent by Anaheim.

Charles Ehrhorn, son of C. H. Ehrhorn, aged 13 years, saved a four-year-old boy from drowning, when a boat in which the child was playing capsized. Young Ehrhorn, attracted by the screams of the child's mother, dived into the water and grabbed the little fellow as he went down for the third time. He got him ashore and then applied first aid methods of resuscitation taught the scouts. A pulmotor was rushed to the aid of the half-drowned boy, but he had been revived before it arrived. De Laney Wilson, another boy scout, rescued a four-year-old Santa Ana girl who fell from a raft at White bridge. This is according to a story told City Marshal Porter of Newport, by the scoutmaster. The names of the children who were rescued were not learned. The Anaheim Kiwanis are planning for a barbecue to be held at Orange county park some time in the not distant future. A minstrel show in which local Kiwanis will shine, is also being considered, Robinson was employed on the Kraemer lease near Placentia, but made his home near Artesia. Saturday morning, he was said to have left home in his car, with the understanding that he would meet his wife and daughter that evening at the home of friends in Fullerton, where they expected to take dinner. For the occasion, Mrs. Robinson packed her husband's suit case with a change of clothing and placed a pair of shoes in his car. Later it was learned that when he appeared at the Santa Fe station at Northam, not having gone to his work, he had changed his clothes. He was carrying the suit case and an overcoat. At the station he was said to have inquired when a train would leave for Los Angeles. The train had just gone, he was told. Then he asked concerning a train for San Bernardino and was told it would pass Northam at 9:41 a.m. He did not wait, however, but started afoot along the highway toward Norwalk. It was believed that he boarded a stage. But in what direction he went was not even speculated on by the authorities. Robinson and his family had been living near Artesia about a year. They resided with C. W. Foy, father of Mrs. Robinson. The couple have been married about 18 years. Robinson was not believed to have more than $20 when he disappeared. The treatment plant, to be operated in connection with the joint outfall sewer, will be erected below the Talbert bridge, at an estimated cost of $75,000. "The outfall sewer, when completed, will be one of the best assets any city could have," said Knox, in discussing the benefits of the proposed improvement. The proportionate cost which each city shall pay for the joint outfall is 75 per cent by Santa Ana and 25 per cent by Anaheim. This is based on the proportion the volume of sewage from each city bears on the total volume from both cities. This adjustment of costs shall continue until such time as the volume of sewage from either city exceeds the proportion of the capacity owned by that city, with the proviso that in case one city should extend its proportion, and the other not used its full proportion, the city short on capacity shall pay the other interest at the rate of 10 per cent per annum on the cost of initial installation in proportion to the amount the extra capacity used bears to the whole. Mrs. Robinson, who kept charge of the family funds, it was said, gave him that sum Saturday morning, part of the money being intended for the purchase of a gasoline coupon book. Two new school buildings, which will provide room for four schools, are being erected on Citron street by Frank and Cash Davis. These are only temporary structures, made necessary by the congestion in the other buildings, and will be ready for occupancy before the opening of the fall term. This will make thirty-eight rooms in the grammar schools of the city, and they will all be crowded during the coming term.

Strange as it may seem, the average citizen has to have a registration deputy call upon him at some time satisfactory to the citizen before he (the citizen) will register. This same citizen will wake up on election day. If by any chance the registration deputies have not hunted him down and obtained his registration, he will hurl his chasin at some public official's head. As a matter of fact, nobody but the citizen himself is responsible for a failure to register. The county clerk of this county is doing all that can be expected of him in obtaining registrations. He has done and is doing his full duty, and more. He has sent out registration deputies into the highways and byways. Nevertheless, the real responsibility of seeing to it that you are registered is your responsibility. It is up to you to seek out a registration deputy.

The Anaheim Chamber of Commerce is preparing to begin another campaign to increase its membership. A year ago the campaign engineered by the American City Bureau, brought the membership up to four hundred, and it is expected this roll will be largely increased by an active canvass.

A year ago the campaign engineered by the American City Bureau, brought the membership up to four hundred, and it is expected this roll will be largely increased by an active canvass. The necessary committees will be appointed at once by Chairman Lilley, and the campaign will begin on June 26. It is probable that the system used a year ago will be adopted. Two battalions will be formed, each in command of a major, and these battalions will be divided into companies, with a captain at the head of each. A thorough canvass will be made, and nobody is expected to escape. There are scores of newcomers in the city, and no doubt, many, or all of them will join the city's booster body on solicitation. The membership should be increased to at least five hundred this movement. Since its reorganization, or rejuvenation, the Chamber of Commerce has accomplished many things for the benefit of the city, and it has become an indispensible organization. With Harry Riley president during the past two years, and Malcom Fraser, secretary, with a live wire board of directors, it has taken a prominent part in the advancement of the city and with proper support, it will accomplish much more. The California Valencia Orange Show is an offspring of the Chamber of Commerce, and this show has been the means of making Anaheim known in every state in the union. This show within a year or two will be as well known throughout the United States as the Pasadena Tournament of Roses or the national orange show at San Bernardino, and Anaheim will be the Mecca to which thousands of easterners make annual pilgrimage. The Chamber of Commerce conceived it and is supporting it. Every loyal Anaheimer should get his name on the roll during the coming campaign, and support that body in its efforts to keep the city growing. N. J. KUHLMAN DEAD N. J.

Mr. Kuhlman was taken to the hospital several JAP IN JAIL Troubles have multiplied for K. Ida, Japanese, formerly residing at Garden Grove, but now at the county jail, where he must serve 50 days unless he can raise $50 as a fine, assessed by City Recorder W. F. Heathman. Ida drives an automobile and, according to two complaints filed against him, he drives it recklessly. One complaint, filed by County Motorcycle Officer Vernon Myers, alleges that Ida drove his car on the wrong side of the highway at the intersection of the Anaheim and Garden Grove highways June 15. The second complaint, on account of which Ida is now in jail, developed Monday after Ida's car, it was claimed, had forced Miss Madelaine Keech, of Santa Ana, to drive her car over the curbing and knock down an Edison pole. Police Officers Lutz and Ryan arrested Ida after the accident, which took place on South Main street, Santa Ana. One who looks at herself in a glass is seldom displeased, but others don't look at her in a glass. N. J. KUHLMAN DEAD N. J. Kuhlman, for many years connected with the Santa Fe railroad, and since the retirement of J. H. Clabaugh, the company's agent in this city, died at the hospital in Los Angeles Thursday evening. Mr. Kuhlman was taken to the hospital several weeks ago, general breakdown being the cause of his illness. He was 48 years of age, and leaves a wife and one daughter, Mrs. Rachael Donahue, of San Bernardino. Funeral services were held at Backs and Terry's undertaking parlors Saturday aftrnoon, Rev. J. A. Geissinger in charge. Interment was at Loma Vista cemetery. Mr. Kuhlman was one of Anaheim's best known citizens, and enjoyed the esteem of all his acquaintances. His death is deplored by everybody who knew him and had business connections with him. JOPLIN FOR TREASURER J. C. Joplin, pioneer resident of Orange county and for the last twenty years county treasurer, is seeking reelection to that office and in asking support at the primaries points to his record of faithful and efficient service in performing the duties of the office as a strong argument in his favor. Mr. Joplin is too well known to need elaborate introduction, his interest in agricultural and horticultural development of the county having brought him into close and friendly touch with practically every fruit grower and farmer within the county's limits.
