That the majority of Charles C. Moore in Orange county for United States senator will be in excess of 4000 votes is the prediction freely made by men and women keeping close tab on political affairs in this county. From all sections of the county come most encouraging reports, and it is believed that Orange county will be the banner county for Moore in the state of California. The two days' political demonstration, being honors with Belle McCord Roberts, one of the best versed women in California on political questions, and Mab Copeland Lineman, widely known woman attorney, and the other speakers on the list. CANDIDATE FOR ASSEMBLY PAYS VISIT TO ANAHEIM Dr. C. D. Ball Interviewing Voters Here Tuesday. Dr. C. D. Ball, candidate for the Republican nomination for assemblyman, was in town from Santa Ana Tuesday interviewing the people. The doctor has pretty well canvassed the county, and expresses himself as well satisfied with the situation, feeling confident that he will receive the nomination on August 29. Dr. BaH is one of the old-time residents of the county, and one of its best known citizens. He came to Santa Ana thirty-five years ago, two years before the organization of Orange county, and took a prominent part in the division movement.

From all sections of the county come most encouraging reports, and it is believed that Orange county will be the banner county for Moore in the state of California. The two days' political demonstration, beginning at Seal Beach on Tuesday, and ending in a great meeting at Birch park last evening, during which many cities and towns were visited by speakers, was most successful in its every respect, and made many votes for the victorious candidate. A great crowd assembled in this city yesterday afternoon at 5 o'clock to hear the speakers, and the meeting at Birch park last night was probably the most enthusiastic demonstration of the kind ever pulled off in the county. Of the more than 18,000 Republicans registered, it is estimated that 12,000 will vote at the primaries. It is freely predicted that this vote will go more than two to one for Moore. That the sentiment among the Republicans of this county is overwhelmingly for Moore was indicated by the crowds that greeted the speakers who conducted a whirlwind campaign through the county Tuesday and Wednesday. The speakers on this tour were Dr. John Willis Baer, of Pasadena; Mrs. Robert J. Burdette, Miss Rita Kissen, Barney Goss, of Los Angeles; Miss Bell Roberts, of Long Beach, and Senator Walter Eden, of Santa Ana. They were accompanied by a band and a long string of decorated cars. The tour of the county began Tuesday, the first meeting being at Seal Beach at 1 o'clock. At 2 o'clock a stop was made at Westminster, at 2:30 at Garden Grove, at 3:00 at Balboa, at 3:40 at Newport Beach, at Costa Mesa, at 4:45 at Tustin and at Orange, where an enthusiastic rally was held. On Wednesday the party left St. Ann's Inn at Santa Ana at 11:15, the first stop being at Olive at 12:30. From Olive they went to Placentia, when the meeting was held at 12:45, to Yorba Linda at 1:30, Olinda at 2:30, Brea at 2:45, La Habra at 3:15, Buena Park at 3:45, Fullerton at 4, and arrived at Anaheim at 5. A large crowd of Moore enthusiasts greeted the speakers here, and at six o'clock they departed for Santa Ana. TWO INJURED IN CRASH George Doerman, of Anaheim, and Bernard Teigler, of Los Angeles, were both taken to the Fullerton hospital Friday morning, where they were treated for injuries received in an auto accident at Buena Park, about 4 o'clock. Doerman was cut about the face and arms and besides he was badly bruised on different parts of his body. Teigler was only slightly injured and was released from the hospital after being treated. Both men are in the employ of the Los Angeles Times. Doerman delivers the papers in Buena Park and Tiegler brings the papers down from Los Angeles. In some manner unexplained, the two cars which the men were driving were in a head-on collision, badly wrecking both cars. The two men were thrown out of their cars and narrowly escaped being killed. They were taken to the hospital shortly afterwards by a passing autolist, both seeming to be badly injured. Doerman was driving a Ford and Teigler was driving a Studebaker. WALNUT GROWERS' FIELD DAY Under the joint auspices of the farm bureaus and extension service of the walnut producing counties of southern California, walnut growers from all southern California will assemble at Santa Barbara on Saturday, September 2nd, on the occasion of the second annual Walnut Growers' field day. A program contributed to by the leading experts in all phases of the walnut industry has been prepared by the committee in charge which is expected to result in drawing together the largest crowd of walnut growers ever assembled in the history of the industry. An additional attraction will be an old-fashion Spanish barbecue provided by the Santa Barbara county best known citizens.

A large crowd of Moore enthusiasts greeted the speakers here, and at six o'clock they departed for Santa Ana, where a rally was held at Birch park in the evening. Senator Eden, a former ardent supporter of Johnson, but who is now lined up for Moore, was one of the speakers on the trip and gives his reasons for supporting Mr. Moore. "For his opposition to the four-power pact more than anything else, I oppose Senator Johnson as a candidate for the United States senate," declared Eden. "I do not abuse Senator Johnson personally, but we have a right to discuss his acts as a public official. We are all interested in the four-power pact—he voted against it. His opposition to this pact alone is sufficient reason to vote against him. It is one of the greatest issues that has ever been raised in our senate in all its history. "When we eask him to explain, he tells us it is not an issue in the campaign, but has been settled. When we are not satisfied with this, he says he voted against the pact because he is a 100 per cent American, as though all of us who favor the pact are not." "These answers are camouflage; they are evasive; they do not answer." The logical and convincing eloquence of Walter Eden, was instrumental in solidifying the pro-Moore sentiment in a number of the cities visited. Mr. Eden shared the speak- Santa Barbara on Saturday, September 2nd, on the occasion of the second annual Walnut Growers' field day. A program contributed to by the leading experts in all phases of the walnut industry has been prepared by the committee in charge which is expected to result in drawing together the largest crowd of walnut growers ever assembled in the history of the industry. An additional attraction will be an old-fashion Spanish barbecue provided by the Santa Barbara county farm bureau and Santa Barbara Walnut Growers' association. Plans are being made to feed and entertain one thousand people. Special hotel rates have been secured by the local committee and the Santa Barbara Chamber of Commerce will act as host on Friday, the 1st, to show the visitors the beauties of Santa Barbara county. Features of the day's program will be addressed by C. C. Teague, president of the California Walnut Growers' association, and one of the largest walnut growers in the state; W. T. Webber, sales manager of the California Walnut Growers' association; Prof. Ralph Smith, eminent walnut expert; Prof. J. W. Nelson, one of the principal soil specialists in western United States! H. C. Sharp, of the field department of the Walnut Growers' association; E. S. Kellogg, horticultural commissioner of Santa Barbara county, and Farm Advisor Robert W. Hodgson, of Los Angeles county. For the convenience of the committee, walnut growers expecting to attend the field day and desiring hotel accommodations or expecting to be present at the barbecue are asked to write to the secretary of the Santa Barbara Chamber of Commerce.

Jack Retlaw and G. T. Ingram, representing the West Coast Theatres Co., owner of the California, the Fairland and the Grand, appeared before the trustees Thursday evening and registered a vigorous demand for an increase in the license tax charged traveling companies that pitch their tents and give performances in this city. Under the present ordinance, it appears, traveling troups, such as the extra pressure which is now always turned on at the alarm of fire. He would not recommend its discontinuance, however, until some other arrangement is made. George Curtis, paving contractor, was given permission to use the city's yard on Santa Ana street for his paving outfit. Acceptance of the Kellerman tract on West Broadway was held up until next meeting because City Attorney Weisel discovered that the bond had not been properly signed. MISSING HUSBAND CLAIMS THE ESTATE Man Claims the Property Left By Mrs. Camila Moreno. A hitherto "missing" husband, who separated from the recently murdered woman known as Mrs. Camila Moreno, of Anaheim, five or six years ago, has appeared to assert his claim to the dead womans' estate, valued variously from $1500 to $4000. Louis Sentous, Jr., nominee of Francisco Lara, of Los Angeles, the husband, filed petition in the superior court for letters of administration over the estate. Inasmuch as such letters of administration were ayready issued, last Friday, to Charles D. Brown, public administrator of Orange county, the second petition added. COUNTY TAX RATE REMAINS THE SAME SUPERVISORS AGREE TO ADOPT LAST YEAR'S FIGURES FOR THIS YEAR The Levy Will Be $1.50 Inside Incorporated Cities, and $1.90 Outside—Owing to Increased Taxation County's Increase Will Be Boosted $350,000—More Money Needed for the Erection of Two New Bridges. The tax rate in Orange county will be the same this year as last, according to an agreement reached by the board of supervisors. This will give the county $350,000 more income than a year ago owing to increased assessment. The rate agreed upon is $1.50 per hundred dollars inside incorporated cities and $1.90 outside. With this tax rate, approximately $2,350,000 will be raised. This rate and these figures do not include special school and district levies. Jack Retlaw and G. T. Ingram, representing the West Coast Theatres Co., owner of the California, the Fairland and the Grand, appeared before the trustees Thursday evening and registered a vigorous demand for an increase in the license tax charged traveling companies that pitch their tents and give performances in this city. Under the present ordinance, it appears, traveling troups, such as the Haggerty Stock company, which recently performed here for two weeks, are assessed only $5 per day. According to Mr. Retlaw this is the smallest license charged traveling shows by any city in southern California, and it is unjust to the local houses. Some of the towns, he declared, tax these shows as high as $100 per day. There are many thousands of dollars invested in the three theatres in Anaheim. In addition to paying a yearly license, the owners also pay the city taxes on the capital invested. Furthermore, a large force of local people are employed in conducting them, and the managers are justified in demanding protection from the resident of some other town whose interest in Anaheim ceases after he has gathered in all the dollars he can and the curtain falls on his performance. After listening to Mr. Retlaw's appeal the trustees passed the matter up to the ordinance committee. The trustees were inclined to agree with the Messrs. Retlaw and Ingram that the present ordinance was not giving them justice, and in all probability an amendment will be adopted. The commissioners appointed to appraise property and fix damages incurred by property owners in the proposed widening of Chestnut street between Los Angeles and Lemon streets, allowed Henry Hussman $1050 for a strip off his lot. Mr. Hussman protested against this valuation, stating that the total damage to him would amount of $1500. Definite action was deferred until the next meeting of the board. A resolution was adopted declaring the intention of the city to pave Clementine street from Broadway to Cypress. Bids for the work will soon be called for. Theodore Roberts asked that the garage zone ordinance be modified. Buildings owned by Mr. Roberts and Mrs. Fellows are wanted by garage men, but being within the restricted zone they cannot be used for that purpose. The board declined to make a change in the ordinance. FALKENSTEIN TELLS OF TRIP William Falkenstein was the speaker at Tuesday's luncheon of the Kiwanis club, the members being curious to learn of his experiences in Europe, from which he has just returned. Mr. Falkenstein stated that he and his wife and daughter enjoyed every hour of their visit in the old country, and that their tour was not married by a single mishap. A considerable portion of their time in Europe was spent at Mr. Falkenstein's old home in Germany, and he found a changed Fatherland. Imperialism, he says, is dead, and the Hoenzollern yoke will never again be fastened on the necks of the Germans. The people now govern themselves and will continue to do so. He says there is no animosity in Germany toward America or any of the other countries who fought in the great war. The chief desire of the German people now is to remain the of Anaheim, five or six years ago, has appeared to assert his claim to the dead womans' estate, valued variously from $1500 to $4000. Louis Sentous, Jr., nominee of Francisco Lara, of Los Angeles, the husband, filed petition in the superior court for letters of administration over the estate. Inasmuch as such letters of administration were ayready issued, last Friday, to Charles D.Brown, public administrator of Orange county, the second petition added something of a complication to the situation. That no contest will be made, however, was intimated by Brown, when he was informed of the second petition. The authorities, he said; had been unable to locate the husband, at the time the estate was handled, and Brown was nominated as administrator by a daughter of Mrs. Moreno, whose full name appears to be Camila Moreno Lara. The woman and her common law husband, Emitterio Escobedo, were both slain by their neighbor, Narcissso Cisneros, who is now in San Quentin, sentenced to be hanged September 22. In the search for heirs, the daughter, who is married and resides in Anaheim, was the only one located. The petition, however, gives Francisco Lara's address as 351 Manchester avenue, Los Angeles. It was filed through Attorneys Smith and Breslin, of Los Angeles. The estate consists of houses and lots in Anaheim and Los Angeles. FALKENSTEIN TELLS OF TRIP All of the officials had hoped to be able to make a reduction in the county rate, but it was found that demands were such that the rate could not be changed without striking material handicaps in some county activity. The principal reason why no reduction could be made, however, appeared in the fact that the county is obliged this year to build two concrete bridges on the coast boulevard being built by the state highway commission. Last year the bridge rate was 6 cents; this year it is 13 cents. This increase in the bridge rate offset some of the cuts that were made by the supervisors in other items. County School Superintendent R. P. Mitchell appeared before the supervisors recently in relation to the general school rates. He explained that while the assessed valuation of the county had been increased in the past year approximately fifteen per cent, the increase in attendance at the schools of the county had increased almost in exact proportion, roughly fifteen per cent. The tax rate in Orange county will be the same this year as last, according to an agreement reached by the board of supervisors. This will give the county $350,000 more income than a year ago owing to increased assessment. The rate agreed upon is $1.50 per hundred dollars inside incorporated cities and $1.90 outside. With this tax rate, approximately $2,350,000 will be raised. This rate and these figures do not include special school and district levies. Last year the rates of $1.50 and $1.90 raised approximately $2,000,000. The reason why the county will receive about $350,000 more money this year than it did last year without a change of rate is that the county's assessed valuation subject to this levy has been raised from $115,000,000 to $136,000,000. The board of supervisors came to its decision at an informal meeting Friday night with County Auditor W. C. Jerome, who presented to the board a complete statement of what the various items that make up the total of each rate, had raised last year and what the same items would raise this year. Jerome also presented statements covering the fixed charges against the county, such as bond payments-and interest payments,salaries,eic. Jerome has all these figures at his finger's ends. The conference included County Engineer McBride. All of the officials had hoped to be able to make a reduction in the county rate, but it was found that demands were such that the rate could not be changed without striking material handicaps in some county activity. The principal reason why no reduction could be made, however, appeared in the fact that the county is obliged this year to build two concrete bridges on the coast boulevard being built by the state highway commission. Last year the bridge rate was 6 cents; this year it is 13 cents. This increase in the bridge rate offset some of the cuts that were made by the supervisors in other items.

Buildings owned by Mr. Roberts and Mrs. Fellows are wanted by garage men, but being within the restricted zone they cannot be used for that purpose. The board declined to make a change in the ordinance. Capt. Alexander Henry's appeal for parking space at his own curb was heeded by the board. During services at the White Temple, Mr. Henry says, autos are parked about his residence on Broadway and Philadelphia street so densely that he has no gangway for himself, and he petitioned the trustees for relief. Mr. Henry was authorized to mark off a twenty foot space on the curb and put up a "No Parking" sign. The owner of the auto parking grounds opposite the California theatre again asked that the entrance be restored on Center street, as his business was cut in half since the Oak street driveway is his only entrance. This matter had been referred to the public improvements committee, and the committee reported that a Center street driveway was inadvisable. Complaints that damage was caused by bursting water pipe when the emergency pump was put on at the power house during a fire, were made to the board. Superintendent Hanum explained that a 70-pound pressure was the safety limit and anything above that was likely to cause damage. By the use of a by-pass apparatus, he said, the pressure could be held down to 80 pounds. Fire Chief Dean Hasson stated that with the new pump on the engine the department might be able to dispense with the ex- A commuter portion of the city in Europe was spent at Mr. Falkenstein's old home in Germany, and he found a changed Fatherland. Imperialism, he says, is dead, and the Hoenzollern yoke will never again be fastened on the necks of the Germans. The people now govern themselves and will continue to do so. He says there is no animosity in Germany toward America or any of the other countries who fought in the great war. The chief desire of the German people now is to repair the damage caused by the mistakes of the past, and to live in peace and amity with all peoples hereafter. The most beautiful thing he saw on his entire trip, he declared, was the American flag. The party reached Coblenz, on the Rhine, on the Fourth of July, and found Old Glory waving in the breeze. You never appreciate the beauty of the Star Spangled Banner, he says, until you meet it in an alien land. Making it nine straight victories, the Anaheim Elks' ball team defeated the Long Beach roosters in their own barnyard Sunday afternoon. But it was a close contest. The score stood two to nothing in favor of Anaheim at the beginning of the ninth chapter. In their half, Long Beach rolled up two marks, making the score 50-50, but Anaheim succeeded in getting a runner across the plate in the last half, the final score being 3 to 2. Pasadena, leaders in the second section of the southern division of the state league, defeated Monroovia. In a couple of weeks Anaheim and Pasadena will play for the championship of the south. When a young man who never before has done it suddenly begins to economize, the answer is that some girl has "hooked" him. County School Superintendent R. P. Mitchell appeared before the supervisors recently in relation to the general school rates. He explained that while the assessed valuation of the county had been increased in the past year approximately fifteen per cent, the increase in attendance at the schools of the county had increased almost in exact proportion, roughly fifteen per cent. It would take fifteen per cent more money to meet the obligations placed on the county general school founds, he pointed out, since attendance averages are the basis of computation of the money to be distributed. The only change suggested was that the grammar school rate be reduced one cent and the high school rate raised one cent. This adjustment was made to meet lawful demands and because of balances that exist in those two funds. The official time for fixing the tax rate comes first Tuesday after the first Moonday in September. By reaching an agreement upon what the rates will be when they are fixed, County Auditor Jerome is given an opportunity immediately to begin the computation of taxes. This is a huge job, which like the work of various other county offices has grown with leaps and bounds each year. Jerome has a well organized office force, and is in a position to clear away the work expeditiously. "I don't believe in letting public work drag," said Jerome, "and that is why I am especially pleased with the co-operation offered by the supervisors in fixing the rate unofficially at this time instead of waiting until September. The tax computation will be cleaned up well within the limit fixed by law." Supervisor T. B.

George Strobel was in town this week from his ranch at Hanford, Kings county, where he is engaged in raising peaches. George spent his school days in this city, and after an absence of a number of years finds many changes in this section. He is a son of Major Max Strobel, who was formerly mayor of this city, and has many old-time friends here who are always glad to take him by the hand. He visited here a year ago, driving extensively through southern California, and found so many improvements that he hardly recognized his old stamping ground. His brothers, Duke and Loumay, are with him at Hanford, and Otto Strobel is in the blacksmith business at Hawthorne. All are prospering and are worthy sons of a distinguished sire. While in town George told a story of Guy Barham. Major Strobel went PLAN BOULEVARD CONNECTING TWO CITIES BEAUTIFUL SCENIC DRIVE PROPOSED BETWEEN ANAHEIM AND FULLERTON G. A.

These men transact more business with the county clerk than any other class of men, and the For many years George A. Mills and others have dreamed of a broad boulevard, paved with asphalt from curb to curb, lined with beautiful shade trees and illuminated with ornamental lights, connecting this city with Fullerton. Mills lives on the state highway at Orangethepe avenue, midway between the two cities, and he has never been clear in his mind whether he is an Anaheimer or a Fullertonite, consequently he has always advocated consolidation of the two cities. He is now fathering a proposition that has long been under discussion, and which will receive the enthusiastic backing of the residents of both cities. Mr. Mills and other residen s along the boulevard have started a movement for the construction of a beautiful tree-shaded avenue between the city limits of Anaheim and Fullerton. Mr. Mills sates that property owners along the highway generally favor the move, and he is circulating a petition among them. The proposed improvements call for the widening of the present state highway, which is eighteen feet with shoulders of three feet on each side, twenty-seven feet, making the thoroughfare approximately fifty feet. This petition also calls for the construction of curbs. Another petition being presented by Mills proposes the construction of sidewalks along the entire distance and the installation of ornamental street lights. Should the project be successful, Anaheim and Fullerton would be linked together by a broad residence street equipped with the most modern of conveniences. The improvements would be made between the city limits of the cities, a distance of more than one mile. Mills declared that it was virtually assured that the widening program would be carried out. It was meeting with the approval of the present owners, he said. Mills, however, was more doubtful concerning the building of sidewalks and the installation of the street lamps. Those interested in the project declare that it is simply a matter of time until the two cities would be connected by a residence street and that they believe that situation is not far distant.

Dickey Melrose had a pair of white mice of which he was very fond, and which he fed on cheese, bread crumbs and crackers. Some evenings ago a neighbor's cat came along and ate them, and Dickey's heart was broken. His grand father went to Los Angeles and brought back another pair, and now Dickey is slitting up night's waiting for that cat with a sawed-off shot gun.
