VOLUME LI ENGINEERS BUSY ON PLANS FOR SEWER CALL FOR BIDS FOR CONSTRUCTION WORK WILL SOON BE ISSUED All Red Tape Wound Up, and Nothing Now to Prevent Actual Work on Our Outlet to the Sea—Fullerton’s Admission to the Partnership Will Only Slightly Lessen the Expense to Anaheim and Santa Ana—Vexed Question is Settled. Engineers of the cities of Anaheim, Santa Ana and Fullerton, within a few days will have completed plans for the joint outfall sewer and bids for the work will be called for. Within a few weeks actual work on a project that has been discussed for several years will begin. The money for construction is in the hands of the city treasurers, all differences of opinion thought that the city will seek to join Anaheim’s line. Each of the three cities will own one-third of the right-of-way and disposal plant under the new contract. FIRE EXTINGUISHED BY ORANGE BOY SCOUTS A brush fire Saturday in the canyon southeast of this city, was credited by many with being the cause of the extremely hot weather, but it was raging Sunday, which was the hottest day experienced here for many years. The fire cause a loss of probably $2,000. A group of Orange Boy Scouts, who were practicing patrolling in the woods probably saved the Glassel street bridge. The fire was slowly creeping along the creek bank when about a dozen Boy Scouts whom ranchers said they did not know, set to work with shovels and tree branches and beat the fire out. According to ranchers, the fire would probably have reached the bridge, in spite of the fact that the wind was blowing from the bridge toward the fire, on account of the dried leaves in the district. The starting of the fire is blamed on Orange boys by ranchers, who say that considerable vandalism has been going on in the district. They say BOARD DUE TO CALL FOR ELECTRICITY RESOLUTION OF ADOPTED AT MED THURSDAY E Hundred Thousand for Municipal Park $40,000 for Completion and $25,000 for Str Tax Rate Fixed at Last Year—Curtis for Paving Clementia A bond election for raising $165,000 for repairs was decided up at tees at Thursday night. A resolution of intent This was is accordance commendation of the commerce, although the five thousand dollars asked by the chamber provements. Engineers of the cities of Anaheim, Santa Ana and Fullerton, within a few days will have completed plans for the joint outfall sewer and bids for the work will be called for. Within a few weeks actual work on a project that has been discussed for several years will begin. The money for construction is in the hands of the city treasurers, all differences of opinion between the cities have been adjusted, proportional levies have been agreed to, and there is nothing on the table that can delay actual work on the project. Disposal of the sewage is a problem that has confronted city officials of all Orange county's inland cities for many years. The rapid growth of the population, steadily increasing the volume of sewage to be disposed of, the determined opposition to outlanders against construction of septic tanks in their midst and the impossibility of handling it within the city limits, made it plain to all that an outlet to the ocean should be secured. The first effort was met with frantic opposition on the part of the beach cities, people along the ocean front threatening to incorporate into a municipality a strip of sand in order to prevent the passage into the sea of the inland sewer which would pollute the waters and interfere with the bathing. Opposition on the part of the beachites was finally withdrawn, and it was believed the plan would be carried out, the four principal cities of the inland entering into an agreement, but the city of Orange suddenly withdrew from the partnership and all work ceased. Santa Ana then talked of playing a lone hand as that city owned a right-of-way to the sea, but finally an agreement between that city and Anaheim was reached, the people of both cities voting bonds for the construction. Fullerton followed in the footsteps of Anaheim and purchased a sewer farm, the sewage to be passed through an Imhof septic tank and used for irrigating purposes, but the bucolic residents in the neighborhood of the farm emulated the example of the people of Stanton and incorporated all the territory around the farm. Fullerton one day found its sewer farm within the corporate limits of the city of Orangethorpe, and practically useless for the purpose for which it was purchased. Then that city he INSECTARY IS OPERATING AT CAPACITY NOW Liberate Thousands of Predators to Protect Orange County Groves. More than a million and a half of rhizobius ventralis, 62,000 rhizobius lopanthae, and 64,000 aphycus louns duryl, deadly enemies of the citrus posts, have been released in Orange county by the Orange County Pest Control association during the past few weeks, according to the August report of A. A. Brock, county horticultural commissioner, made public recently. "Our insectary has been operating at full capacity for the last month," said Brock, "and we are getting splendid co-operation from the growers." In fact, in all irchards where predators said they did not know, set to work with shovels and tree branches and beat the fire out. According to ranchers, the fire would probably have reached the bridge, in spite of the fact that the wind was blowing from the bridge toward the fire, on account of the dried leaves in the district. The starting of the fire is blamed on Orange boys by ranchers, who say that considerable vandalism has been going on in the district. They say that oranges and other fruits have been stolen, and one rancher said that twice, recently, bullets have whizzed near his head. One of the Bishop brothers, A. D. Roberts and Holmes, who live on East Fairhaven street, said that the fire had destroyed his entire supply of wood for furnace and cooking purposes for the winter. The fire burned over a space of about 20 acres. F. Jerds, rancher, said that one entire row of 16 trees were scorched and the fruit for this year a total loss. He said he did not know how much damage had been done to trees on the inside rows, but was sure that it was considerable, as the heat penetrated a considerable distance into the orchard. Bishop brothers said that the fruit on at least 12 trees was ruined and that it probably would be that many more when he checked up his orchard. George A. Shoemaker, saved his orchard by turning water in the irrigation ditches and assembling a bucket brigade which wet down a chain of brush heaps extending along the edge of the orchard for about 200 yards. The tax levy for 1922-1923 was fixed, $1.45 on the hundred dollar same as last year. By this levy is $86,000 previous year, over creased valuation. The ment of Anaheim this 825, while last year it The bonded indebted $455,987.50. The limit state law under sessment is $893,000; city is still $437,000 fixed by law. George R.

Fullerton one day found its sewer farm within the corporate limits of the city of Orangethorpe, and practically useless for the purpose for which it was purchased. Then that city began clamoring for admission into the partnership, and at a joint meeting of the councilmen of the three cities last week an agreement was reached and Fullerton will come in, making connections with the sewer at Anaheim. Fullerton sewage to pass through the Anaheim pipes to the junction with the Santa Ana pipe. According to agreement Santa Ana pays 60 per cent of the cost, Anaheim 20 per cent and Fullerton 20 per cent. Fullerton will also pay one-third of the preliminary cost, which has already been equally met by the two cities of Anaheim and Santa Ana. "The agreement to admit Fullerton will not delay the construction of the sewer," City Manager Steward said. "Nor will it have much effect on the expenses of Anaheim and Santa Ana. Our attorneys told us that since the money for the bond issue was already in the treasury they would meet with no irregularities in carrying out the three-city plan. Fullerton agreed that the new plan would in no way affect the contract between Anaheim and Santa Ana. "Larger pipe lines will be needed under the new plan," Mr. Steward, adding that the agreement effected only that part of the line from the junction point to the ocean. Plans for Fullerton's part of the line from that city to the junction point were not discussed at the meeting, but it is duryl, deadly enemies of the citrus pests, have been released in Orange county by the Orange County Pest Control association during the past few weeks, according to the August report of A. A. Brock, county horticultural commissioner, made public recently. "Our insectary has been operating at full capacity for the last month," said Brock, "and we are getting splendid co-operation from the growers. "In fact, in all irchards where predators and parasites can be liberated, we have permitted the growers to furnish men to work under instructions of the superintendent of the insectary in liberating the catches in the groves. "We feel that the man in charge of the insectary is to be congratulated upon the splendid results obtained thus far. We believe that in a great many orchards in the county these predators and parasites can be liberated to advantage and will save the owner the expense of fumigating. "During July and August we were able to liberate 1,763,200 rhizobius ventralis, 62,600 rhizobius lopanthae, 64,834 aphycus lounsduryi, 237 crypto-laemus montrouzieri, and 256 orcus chalybeus. "An effort was made to collect steely blue lady bird beetle in Santa Barbara county, where they are quite plentiful. These predators prey upon red scale. "At the present time the number which can be collected would hardly justify placing collectors in the field. "Later we hope to be able to find them more numerous and to collect and liberate them in incubation plots." WANTS SOMETHING REAL The currency circulation of soviet Russia is now 270,000,000,000 roubles. The government nevertheless wants to borrow a paltry $1,500,000,000—in real money.

A bond election for the purpose of raising $165,000 for needed improvements was decided upon by the trustees at Thursday night's meeting, and a resolution of intention was adopted. This was is accordance with the recommendation of the chamber of commerce, although the trustees added five thousand dollars to the amount asked by the chamber for street improvements. that a bucket brigade of men and boys formed. Efforts were directed successfully to saving two adjoining buildings, occupied by the Garden Grove branch of the Pacific Telephone and Telegraph company and a pool hall. During the fire, telephone operators remained at their posts and continued to give service. Although some of the fixtures from the bakery and the barber shop were removed from the building, they were for the most part destroyed, it was said. District officials of the Pacific Telephone and Telegraph company issued a statement, expressing their appreciation for the efforts of those who formed the bucket brigade to which they attribute the saving of their plant. "The work of the brigade is commended," E. S. Morrow, district manager, said. "The company also wishes to express its appreciation to Miss Cecil Umphries, chief operator at Garden Grove, who stuck to her post throughout the fire and summoned aid although flames were destroying the adjoining walls of the company's building." NO DELINQUENCIES WILL BE TOLERATED SANTA ANA READY TO ENTERTAIN BIG CROWD GREAT THRONGS EXPECTED DURING THE COUNTY FAIR NEXT WEEK Splendid Program Arranged by the Management, and Numerous Valuable Premiums Offered to Exhibitors—Delegations From All Sections of Southern California Will Attend—Anaheim is to Have a Prominent Part in the Show. A four-day program replete with features of interest to all visitors has been arranged for the Orange county fair at Santa Ana next Wednesday, Thursday, Friday and Saturday, and undoubtedly many people will make the fair grounds their headquarters each day in order to miss nothing from the splendid array which has been arranged for. Every afternoon and evening there will be a feature program in one of A bond election for the purpose of raising $165,000 for needed improvements was decided upon by the trustees at Thursday night's meeting, and a resolution of intention was adopted. This was in accordance with the recommendation of the chamber of commerce, although the trustees added five thousand dollars to the amount asked by the chamber for street improvements. The issue is to be divided into three funds—$100,000 for construction of the municipal park, $40,000 for completion of the city hall, and $25,000 for street work. These items will be separated on the ballot, and the voter can approve one and reject the others if he is so inclined. It is believed, however, that there will be little opposition to any of the propositions. An ordinance amending the ordinance adopted few months ago granting franchise to the Union Pacific railroad, was read for the first time. The annexation of a strip of territory through which the railroad will pass made this step necessary. This ordinance is merely supplementary to the original ordinance granting the franchise. The tax levy for the fiscal year 1922-1923 was fixed, the rate being $1.45 on the hundred dollars, being the same as last year. The amount raised by this levy is $86,000 against $75,000 the previous year, owing to the increased valuation. The total assessment of Anaheim this year is $5,907,-825, while last year it was $5,194,580. The bonded indebtedness now is $455,987.50. The limit permitted by the state law under the present assessment is $893,000, consequently the city is still $437,000 below the limit fixed by law. George R. Curtis was awarded the contract for paving Clementine street from Cypress to Broadway, the price being 26 cents per square foot. Only one bid was submitted. Mr. Curtis also agrees to make repairs in sidewalks wherever needed for 25 cents per foot. Fire Chief Dean Hasson petitioned for an increase in the allowance for the upkeep of the fire department; $175 per moth is now allowed, but the chief wants this raised to $250 per month. There are twenty men in the department and Hasson thinks that they should receive $10 per month each to pay for drilling, damaged clothing and the strain incident to the sense of responsibility resting NO DELINQUENCIES WILL BE TOLERATED County Official Declares All of Proper Age Must Attend School That the state law governing school attendance will be rigidly enforced in Orange county this year was made clear when F. C. Roberts, school attendance officer, announced that those employing children of school age have been warned to discontinue this practice or be prepared to abide by the consequences. "The law is explicit," said Roberts, "and requires that all children between the ages of eight and sixteen shall attend school. There are exceptions, of course, such as illness and the cases of children who are taught at home, or who have private tutors. Such cases must be clearly established, however, and in the case of illness this must be attested by a physician's certificate. In every case, the excuse must be entirely logical." The attendance officer and his deputies, in enforcing the state law, will make it clear to employers, including a number of Japanese, that prosecutions will follow the first warning issued by the attendance officer, is disregarded. "Heretofore," said Roberts, "there has been some laxity in this respect, but we are prepared to bring about the arrest of employers if they persist in employing children in defiance of the law. In the case of Mexican children, exceptions will be made, or course, and the present plan is to allow Mexican children to work in the walnut groves in the afternoon. They must attend school in the morning hours, however, and we are asking employers to co-operate with us in this matter." Thus far, Roberts pointed out, the attendance in the county schools has been excellent and there have been but few deliberate attempts to evade the law. Names of employers who are using school children in gardens and orchards are known to the attendance officer it was said, and a careful manner also wishes to express its appreciation to Miss Celil Umphries, chief operator at Garden Grove, who stuck to her post throughout the fire and summoned alld although flames were destroying the adjoining walls of the company's building." A four-day program replete with features of interest to all visitors has been arranged for the Orange county fair at Santa Ana next Wednesday, Thursday, Friday and Saturday, and undoubtedly many people will make the fair grounds their headquarters each day in order to miss nothing from the splendid array which has been arranged for. Every afternoon and evening there will be a feature program in one of main exhibition tents, with band concert, vaudeville, local musical talent, and numbers by a troup of trained horses and dogs, and on most programs an outstanding event which will attract unusual attention. The beauty contest, in which nearly a hundred beautiful girls representing Orange county organizations and business firms will be entered, will be held on the opening night, and motion picture stars are scheduled to act as judges. Mexican residents furnish Thursday afternoon's program and that night the fashion show will be the featue of interest. Friday night will be held another big feature, the live stock parade and rodeo. The Santa Monica bay district will send a large delegation over Wednesday to accompany the Santa Monica marine band, the Long Beach band and delegation will come Friday, and Saturday is Riverside. Whittier, San Bernardino and Pomona valley day, with music by the Pacific Electric 35-piece band.

Fire Chief Dean Hasson petitioned for an increase in the allowance for the upkeep of the fire department; $175 per moth is now allowed, but the chief wants this raised to $250 per month. There are twenty men in the department and Hasson thinks that they should receive $10 per month each to pay for drilling, damaged clothing and the strain incident to the sense of responsibility resting upon them. The trustees laid the matter aside for discussion and consideration before taking action. A. A. Mills' petition for paving, sidewalks, curbing, ornamental lights, etc., on North street, where he is subdividing 26 acres of ground with the intention of turning it into a fashionable residential district, was held up for further consideration. Mr. Mills was informed that he will be given a definite answer at the next meeting of the board. The appointment by Marshal Steadman of Frank Fox as a deputy marshal was confirmed by the board. Mayor Starfl, City Manager Stewart and City Attorney Weisel were delegated to attend the annual convention of the League of Municipalities at Palo Alto. FIRE AT GARDEN GROVE The Anaheim fire department responded to a call from Garden Grove at 9 o'clock Saturday morning and assisted the Santa Ana department in quelling a blaze that would otherwise have proven disastrous to the town. The Tom Devine building, occupied by the Garden Grove bakery and Hogue's barber shop, was destroyed, entailing a loss of $10,000. The fire began at 9 a.m. in the Hogue barber shop, Devine said. The flames spread rapidly despite the fact must attend school in the morning hours, however, and we are asking employers to co-operate with us in this matter." Thus far, Roberts pointed out, the attendance in the county schools has been excellent and there have been but few deliberate attempts to evade the law. Names of employers who are using school children in gardens and orchards are known to the attendance officer, it was said, and a careful watch is being kept upon such employers. "It will be our aim to see that the provisions of the law are complied with," said Roberts, "and with this end in view, we solicit the earnest cooperation of parents and employers. It is not for me to say whether the law is just or unjust. It is my duty to see that it is strictly enforced." 100 PER CENT PLEASED Twenty-eight thousand young men of military age have just completed a course in the citizens' military training camps. They voluntarily gave their time and efforts without pay from July 27 to August 26 in order that they might contribute to a more efficient national defense. Only their bare expenses were paid by the government. A canvass of the 1058 students at Camp Meade, Maryland, disclosed that practically 100 per cent of them are anxious to return next year, in spite of the long hours and arduous work to which they have just been subjected. The record of the citizens' camps is a tribute to the sound Americanism of our young men, an assurance of a virile defense should emergency arises, and a vindication of the judgment of congress and the executive in making annual provision for them.

FULLERTON HIGH ADDS AGRICULTURAL STAFF In order to meet the growing needs of the agricultural department of the Fullerton high school, the agricultural teaching force has been considerably increased for the coming school year. Some of the best talent in the state is being secured, and it is predicted that the agricultural work of the Fullerton union high school is eventually to hold the same place in this community that the agricultural work of Chaffey holds in the Ontario district. Among the new men to take up the DEMONSTRATION OF ORCHARD HEATER INVENTOR TO EXHIBIT A PATENT DEVISE ON TUESDAY Carbon briquets, a New Fuel, Will Be Given a Try-Out at Harry Riley's Car Yard on East Center Street By Representatives of the Los Angeles Gas and Electric Corporation—Makers Claim It is the Cheapest on the Market. Carbon briquets will be demonstrated on Tuesday night, September 26th, at Center and Philadelphia streets, in the space occupied by the Dealers' Used Car market, next to the city hall. The Vance orchard heater, patented and later perfected by Champ S. Vance, vice-president of the Los Angeles Gas and Electric corporation, is to be shown in connection with the carbon briquets manufactured by the Los Angeles corporation. In order to meet the growing needs of the agricultural department of the Fullerton high school, the agricultural teaching force has been considerably increased for the coming school year. Some of the best talent in the state is being secured, and it is predicted that the agricultural work of the Fullerton union high school is eventually to hold the same place in this community that the agricultural work of Chaffey holds in the Ontario district. Among the new men to take up the work there for 1922-23, the faculty is pleased to number Dr. J. Elliot Coit, formerly head of the citricultural division of the University of California. Dr. Coit is one of the leading authorities on California citrus fruits, and is the author of many valuable publications on this subject. He will continue to conduct his most prosperous experting service from h is office in Los Angeles, but will set aside two days a week to conduct classes along his special line in the high school and junior college. The agricultural force has also been fortunate in securing W. H. Wright as a full-time instructor for the coming year. Mr. Wright is a graduate of the University of California, having specialized in citriculture. He has also taken special work in vocational agricultural education, and comes most highly recommended by both the university and state department of education. His practical farm and teaching experience fits him especially well for the work he is taking up. A third new man who will give part time to the agricultural work is Prof. LaRue, of the mechanics department. He has had special training for this line of work and a fund of practical experience as well. He will have charge of the work in the new auto and tractor shop, now being erected for next year's course. Mr. Alcorn, who has done such highly satisfactory and commendable work in the department of agriculture in the high school for the past three years, will continue in charge of the project or field work. Messrs. James and Hart, of mechanics department, will continue to carry part-time work for the agricultural department. Thus the Fullerton union high school will possess quite an extensive agricultural faculty for 1922-23. CHAPMAN IN BIG CORPORATION C. C. Chapman, widely known orange grower of Fullerton, is a director Carbon briquets will be demonstrated on Tuesday night, September 26th, at Center and Philadelphia streets, in the space occupied by the Dealers' Used Car market, next to the city hall. The Vance orchard heater, patented and later perfected by Champ S. Vance, vice-president of the Los Angeles Gas and Electric corporation, is to be shown in connection with the carbon briquets manufactured by the Los Angeles corporation. It is claimed by those who are demonstrating the briquets that the danger of frost will be practically eliminated when the briquets are burned in our orchards. It is also claimed that the briquets are ideal for use in the parlor grates or any other heating device. They have been tested in our orchards and the temperature has been raised from one to fourteen degrees. Much interest attaches to the proposed demonstration, Tuesday night, as the Vance orchard heater has been tested successfully and has been installed in orange and lemon groves in San Gabriel, Sierra Madre, Pomona, Porterville and Fillmore. "Carbon briquets can be supplied in quantity at once," says Mr. Vance. The company is prepared to prove that it has the lowest priced fuel on the market. That is why it is willing to demonstrate what carbon briquets will do toward heating our orchards and our homes." The demonstration will, no doubt, attract a large crowd of people. Just at the present ice is a more popular and better selling commodity than fuel, but the season when a comfortable fire will be appreciated is not far distant, and everybody is interested in the cheapest method of providing the fire. MISS CECELIA EIMERS BRIDE OF EDWARD BUSH Wedding a Surprise to the Bride's Many Friends The Cecelia Elmers' marriage to Edward J. Bush was in a way a surprise to friends and family in this section of the county. It took place at the Catholic church at Santa Paula, the ceremony being a simple one with Rev. Father O'Donald, of the Santa Paula parish, officiating and the sister and husband they were visiting. Mr. and Mrs. Harwood, of Santa Paula, standing up with them. CHAPMAN IN BIG CORPORATION C. C. Chapman, widely known orange grower of Fullerton, is a director of the Flirst National Investment corporation, a new financial institution which has opened offices in Los Angeles and will deal in automobile, bond and mortgage financing. Mr. Chapman is associated with a number of prominent automobile and business men in connection with establishing the new concern. Bert G. Rivers, for twenty years associated with various banks in Los Angeles, is general manager of the new concern, which is capitalized at $3,750,000, and will have active charge of its affairs. George W. Franklin, automobile dealer of Pasadena, is vice-president, while E. D. Stacy, general manager of the Los Angeles commercial board, is secretary. The officers, with Mr. Chapman and J. W. Frawley, head of the Frawley Motor Co., of San Francisco, compose the board of directors. The company plans to extend its business to all sections of the state and will aid furnishing credit to established business institutions. The Cox-Hass ball team of Pasadena met defeat on the local grounds Sunday, the score being 4 to 2 in favor of the Anaheim boys. The visitors are among the best semi-pros in California. The Anaheim team will keep in practice until after the championship game at Santa Monica in October. The Cecelia Elmers' marriage to Edward J. Bush was in a way a surprise to friends and family in this section of the county. It took place at the Catholic church at Santa Paula, the ceremony being a simple one with Rev. Father O'Donald, of the Santa Paula parish, officiating and the sister and husband they were visiting, Mr. and Mrs. Harwood, of Santa Paula, standing up with them. This happy entrance into matrimony is the culmination of a courtship of a year. Miss Elmers met Mr. Bush during the Elks' convention a year ago when he was in Anaheim as the guest of his aunt and uncle, Mr. and Mrs. Ben Dresser. The bride left Fullerton about two months ago and made a trip to Portland, Oregon, with Miss Kathryn Dresser, cousin of Mr. Bush,daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Dresser, of Anaheim, and during the visit both girls had a delightful time. They returned home on the third of September, and although Miss Elmers revealed nothing definitely, her folks and intimate friends have expected the above to happen at any time. Miss Elmers left here Sunday morning with her parents, but even at that time she had not relieved the suspicions of friends and relatives; she was "just going to visit in Santa Paula." Immediately following the ceremony Tuesday morning the happy pair left for Glenn Tavern, Santa Barbara, where they expect to remain for two weeks, after which they will be guests with frieds and relatives here in the southland for a month. They will be at home in Oregon after their honeymoon, where the groom is in business. A man is oftener judged by his linen than by his brains.
