VOLUME LI BOND ELECTION CALLED FOR NOV. 14 TRUSTEES ASK FOR $175,000 FOR IMPROVEMENTS IN THE CITY Four items will appear on the Ballot, and Voters Can Accept Part and Reject Balance if so inclined—Plat of A. A. Mills' Sub-Division on North Street Accepted—Ordinance for the Protection of Merchants Will Be Introduced Soon. At an adjourned meeting of the city trustees Saturday morning, Tuesday, November 14, was fixed upon as the date for holding a bond election for the purpose of raising a fund for various improvements. The Chamber of Commerce recently petitioned the trustees to call an election for $160,000 for park, city hall and street improvements, but the city's legislators evidently believe in the motto, "Get a-plenty while you are gettin'," and raised this sum to $175,000. Ornamental street lights were added to the list as the board has long contemplated Anaheim, Santa Ana and Fullerton joining in the installation of a sewer line to the ocean. The Los Angeles man has been engaged by G. F. Knox, city engineer of Santa Ana; O. E. Steward, city engineer and city manager of Anaheim, and F. C. Record, city engineer of Fullerton, under authority given them by the three councils at the joint meeting. The four engineers were in conference Thursday forenoon, going over plans that have been prepared. Knowlton declared that those portions of the plans shown him were good. He commented on certain features and made several suggestions. That afternoon the engineers went over the right of way for the purpose of acquainting the consulting engineer with conditions. The men will have numerous conferences before the plans and specifications are finally submitted for approval of the three councils, it was stated. Knox said that in all probability the papers would be ready within the next ten days. The consulting engineer will make a written report for submission to the councils when they meet to adopt the plans and specifications. In a general discussion as to the time sewage might be en route from point of development to its discharge into the ocean it was brought out that it probably would take twelve to fifteen hours for sewage developed in Fullerton to reach the point of Anaheim.

The western November 14, was fixed upon as the date for holding a bond election for the purpose of raising a fund for various improvements. The Chamber of Commerce recently petitioned the trustees to call an election for $160,000 for park, city hall and street improvements, but the city's legislators evidently believe in the motto, "Get a-plenty while you are gettin'," and raised this sum to $175,000. Ornamental street lights were added to the list, as the board has long contemplated the project of extending the ornamental lights both on Center and Los Angeles streets to the city limits. The items call for $100,000 for park improvement, $40,000 for completion of the city hall, $20,000 for ornamental lights, and $15,000 for street intersections. These items will be separate on the ballot, consequently the voter can favor part of them and reject the balance if he feels so inclined. It is believed, however, that they will all carry. Under the law the city can still issue nearly half a million dollars in bonds. A. A. Mills' plat of his 26-acre subdivision on North street was accepted by the trustees at the regular meeting Thursday night. Mr. Mills first presented this plat and asked improvements more than a year ago, but Thursday night he presented a petition signed by owners of 51 per cent of the property on North street fronting the section to be improved, and the plan was accepted provided Mills give a bond for the cost. The total cost of the improvement, sidewalks, sewer and water extensions will be close to $75,000. It is Mr. Mills intention to make this an exclusive residential section. So many complaints have been received by the trustees relatives to peddlers, hucksters and others, including mail order houses, who flood the city with merchandise to the detriment of the established business houses, that the board has asked the Chamber of Commerce and the Merchants' association to prepare an ordinance for the protection of the local business men. The ordinance will be presented at an early meeting of the board. "This action," said President Renner of the Merchants' association, "is the first step we are asking, as an organization to make Anaheim a safe place for the Anaheim merchant in which to conduct business. Aa a meet- ORANGE NEW PARTNER IN BIG OUTFALL SEWER Orange county's family of municipalities joining in the construction of an outfall sewer to the ocean has now been increased by one, Orange. Evidencing a spirit of the "big brother," the councils of Santa Ana, Anaheim and Fullerton at a joint meeting held last week for consideration of the sewer project voted to admit Orange into the building-program, following a statement by O. E. Guenther, councilman of Orange, that the officials of that city desired to cooperate. Entrance of Orange into the project at this time will in no way delay the beginning of construction work, it was emphasized. Clyde Bishop, attorney for the cities in the joint undertaking, said that he expected bids would be called for within the next two or three weeks. Orange will be taken into the project on a rental basis, unless it is found that the city can vote bonds and complete its plans for building its line to a connection point with the Anaheim-Fullerton line by the time construction of this line is begun. In the event that it can do this, owner ship in the joint outfall and treatment plant will be acquired under a contract to be developed later. It was pointed out that the main pipe line and treatment plant provided a capacity that the three cities originally in the project would not require for many years to come, and that the extra capacity may as well be used.

Aa meeting Wednesday with directors of the association, Oscar T. Conklin, formerly editor-manager of the Anaheim Herald, was asked to undertake the work of enlarging the activities and the scope of the association to the end that the merchants in this city shall have the arm of the law and the strength of unity behind them and Mr. Conklin has agreed, for at least a few weeks, to undertake organization of a strong body to fight the outside influences that are and have been working disaster in business circles in this city." George Dunton, Ford, Fordson and Lincoln agent, was given permission to erect a galvanized iron building for a used car sales station on North Los Angeles street, between Cypress and Chartres streets. The city of Anaheim will officially take part in the armistice day parade at Fullerton on Saturday, November 11. City Manager Steward was instructed to construct a float to represent this city in the parade. ENGINEER ENGAGED ON SEWER PROJECT W. T. Knowlton, sanitary engineer for Los Angeles city, was called as consulting engineer in the project for pipe line and treatment plant provided a capacity that the three cities originally in the project would not require for many years to come, and that the extra capacity may as well be used. AHLSWEDE'S BIG SALE NOW IN PROGRESS Goods Moving Rapidly Owing to the Unheard of Cut in Prices One of the most successful removal sales ever held in Anaheim is now in progress at the Ahlswede store, 175 West Center street. Mr. Ahlswede turned his entire stock over to the Almstead Sales company, of Los Angeles, and that firm began the sale by slashing prices unmercifully. The sale will continue until the 14th of this month. On the 15th of the month this store will move into larger quarters, the room at 127 West Center street, now occupied by the Chaffee store, and it is the desire of the proprietor to get rid of his stock now on hand so that he will have less to move, and have more room for the mammoth new stock he has purchased. He reports the goods selling rapidly, and expects there will be little left on the date of his removal, as the rare bargains offered are attracting the wise shopper. Building permits issued in Anaheim for the first nine months of the year aggregated $1,107,000. With three more months to go, and with several large buildings contemplated, there is a probability that the total for the year will reach a million and a half dollars. Twenty-two permits for residences were issued in September. AHEIM GAZETE Anaheim, California, Thursday, October 5, 1922 FOOTBALL STAR IS CLEARANCE MANAGER DANIEL BOONE, CONQUEROR OF BROWN AT AHLSWEDE'S RE-MOVAL SALE Played at Tournament of Roses New Years Day, 1915, with Washington State, When Easterers Were Defeated 14 to 0—Odds Two to One Against Westerners—Won so Much Money Cougars Bought Brick Blocks and Corner Lots on Return North. D. R. Boone, who has been managing the removal sale at Ahlswede's this week, is a former football star, and played with Washington State at the tournament of roses at Pasadena, New Year's Day, 1915, when Brown university was defeated. It was the first east and west game ever played, and Boone's team licked the easterners 14 to 0. The game was an eye-opener to eastern football enthusiasts, who little thought the powerful Brown eleven could be beaten by a coast team. The westerners showed all AFTER 31 YEARS COMES TO TOWN AGAIN Made Wagons Here in the 80's, Now Makes Aeroplanes at North Island Edward A. White, who was from 1881 to 1891 a leading business man of this city, was in town again this week after an absence of thirty-one years He scarcely knew the town, and had difficulty in locating himself. Mr. White conducted a wagon manufacturing establishment on East Center street, where the Masonic temple now stands and in 1891 sold out to John Schuman, who has passed on to his reward. Since leaving here he has been in business in different cities of the state and for ten years past has been living in San Diego, where he is engaged in doing wood work for the government aeroplanes on North Island. He met only a few of his former acquaintances here and all of the old landmarks were found to be missing. He had heard that Anaheim had been going ahead by leaps and bounds, but was not prepared to see the many evidences of substantial im provement on every side. He was likewise greatly astonished to see the improvements beyond the city limits, for where he hunted rabbits and quail, are now magnificent Valencia orange groves. He remained in town only a few hours and returned to his home in San Diego. WALNUT PRICES REDUCED BY GROWERS OPENING PRICES APPROXIMATE-10 PER CENT BELOW LAST YEAR No. 1 Soft Shell Will Start the Season at 22 1/2 Cents—Heavy Crop and Sentiment Against Profiteering Given at Reason for Reduction—This Year's Walnut Plumper, Whiter and Heavier Than Ever Before Produced, is the Statement of Carlyle Thorpe. Walnut growers are probably the only producers in this section of the world privileged to fir prices on the product of their toll and investment, yet the California Walnut Growers' association at Los Angeles Tuesday lowered the selling price of this year's crop 10 per cent over last year's figures. The opening prices for this year are as follows: No. 1, 22 1/2 cents; No. 2, 17 1/2 cents, and fancy budded, 26 cents. Last month's main demand. this week, is a former football star, and played with Washington State at the tournament of roses at Pasadena, New Year's Day, 1915, when Brown university was defeated. It was the first east and west game ever played, and Boone's team licked the easterners 14 to 0. The game was an eye-opener to eastern football enthusiasts, who little thought the powerful Brown eleven could be beaten by a coast team. The westerners showed all around superiority over their eastern rivals, and easily won a hard fought and well played battle. "The odds were 2 to 1 against us," said Boone to a bunch of newly made football acquaintances in this city, "for Brown was the strongest team in the east. No one thought we westerners had any chance against them; backers, of the foreigners had loads of dinero to wager on the game. We bet our shirts, every last dollar that we had, and if we had lost would probably have had to walk home. We went right after them, and felt at the conclusion of the first half, that we were their masters. They were a very sorry lot of sports when the final score was hung up, 14 to 0 in favor of Washington State. Pennsylvania came out the following year, and Oregon defeated them. These two games gave the west great prestige over the east and the New Year's game at Pasadena is regarded as one of the greatest football events of the year. We went home loaded down with Brown money and many of the boys invested in brick blocks and corner lots. It sure was a great game. I shall never forget the figures 14 to 0 and I don't think that Brown will forget them either." Boone is familiarly called Daniel in honor of his grandfather, who was one of the first settlers in Kentuckky. He is a large and powerful man, as was his grandfather, and is a very pleasant and agreeable gentleman. For a number of years past he has resided in Los Angeles, where he has engaged in the business of conducting clearance sales throughout California, Arizona and the entire southwest. His sale of the Ahlswede stock was one of the most successful ever conducted in this city. A stock of some $10,000 worth of goods has been in large part disposed of, and it is confidently believed the entire lot will be cleaned up by the end of the sale. Boone has proven his efficiency in this line of business, and football kids about town, missing. He had heard that Anaheim had been going ahead by leaps and bounds, but was not prepared to see the many evidences of substantial improvement on every side. He was likewise greatly astonished to see the improvements beyond the city limits, for where he hunted rabbits and quail, are now magnificent Valencia orange groves. He remained in town only a few hours and returned to his home in San Diego. He says San Diego shows many evidences of advancement and improvement and that the government is spending large sums of money there. The aviation field at North Island is one of only three in the country and is coming to be the largest and most important of them all. Old timers remember him as an enterprising and clear headed business man and were glad of the pleasure of again shaking him by the hand. Ed is 65, says he feels as young as a kid and declares he will stick to his job at North Island until he is 85. Then he will come to see us again, if he does not get here before. BURGLARS BLOW OPEN EXPRESS COMPANY'S SAFE Job Professional One, But the Thieves Got Nothing for Their Work Burglaries cracked the safe in the American Express company's office in the Duckworth building last Friday night, but they must have been sadly disappointed when they discovered that the safe contained not covered that the safe contained nothing but a watch and some small pieces of jewelry which they declined to carry away with them. According to the police and deputies from the sheriff's office the job was the work of experts, and they were undoubtedly looking for a big haul. It was learned that a local bank had phoned to Los Angeles for $10,000 in currency during the day, and the cashier of the Los Angeles bank answered that he would send it down in the afternoon. There is a suspicion that the yeggs may have learned of this through some means and expected to find the money in the hands of the express company. The currency came by mail, however. Entrance to the express office was gained through a transom, fly paper having been pasted on the glass to prevent fragments falling and causing an alarm. It is supposed that a boy or small man was passed through and only producers in this section of the world privileged to fir prices on the product of their toll and investment, yet the California Walnut Growers' association at Los Angeles Tuesday lowered the selling price of this year's crop 10 per cent over last year's figures. The opening prices for this year are as follows: No. 1, 22 1-2 cents; No. 2, 17 1-2 cents, and fancy budded, 26 cents. Last year's closing price for No. 1 was 27 cents. The market opened at 24 1-2 cents, but only stood at that point for a day, strengthening immediately and moving up to 27 cents. The association issued a letter to California Congressmen, from which the following is an excerpt. "In refutation of the assertion made by interests which strongly opposed the passage of the tariff bill, to the effect that it simply will enable manufacturers and producers to impose upon the public, we have just advised the wholesale and manufacturing trade of a material reduction in the price of both unshelled and shelled walnuts. This happens just at a time when the new tariff bill gives us a 200 per cent increase in duty on shelled walnuts. We feel that you will be glad to know that the efforts you put behind the tariff schedule, which resulted in its passage, will not prove to be a boomerang to embarrass you, nor a pretext to gouge the American people." This year's walnut crop is the heaviest since 1919. The production will not be less than 50,000,000 pounds, it is believed. The harvest is valued at from $11,500,000 to $13,000,000. "The opening prices named virtually put California walnuts back on pre-war price basis," says General Manager Caryle Thorpe. "This fact is worthy of emphasis, because many other well known food products are ranging upward in price this year. The fact should not be lost sight of that two years ago California walnuts set the pace for all other products in the matter of price reduction, with a drop of 30 per cent, and each season since 1919 a material reduction in price has been made the consumer. "This year the world's production of walnuts is heavier than usual, and consumption must be stimulated. The association believes that this can best be done by keeping the prices at such a point that walnuts will be within the reach of all." "The buying power of the dollar is sided in Los Angeles, where he has engaged in the business of conducting clearance sales throughout California, Arizona and the entire southwest. His sale of the Ahlswede stock was one of the most successful ever conducted in this city. A stock of some $10,000 worth of goods has been in large part disposed of, and it is confidently believed the entire lot will be cleaned up by the end of the sale. Boone has proven his efficiency in this line of business, and football kids about town, who have been attracted to him by his agreeable personality, declare that he is making touchdowns right along and getting rid of the stock as he and his teammates got rid of Brown on that happy New Year's day seven years ago. He was, in his day, one of the foremost gridiron artists in the country, and is today probably the foremost clearance sale manager in the state of California. REGISTER! REGISTER!

She died at the Fullerton hospital last Thursday, following the birth of twin daughters. The babies preceded the mother in death, and were buried in the coffin with her. Funeral services were held at McAulay's parlors in Fullerton Saturday, Rev. J. E. Statom conducting the services. Mrs. Matter was formerly Miss Grace Parrett, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. W. B. Parrett, of this city. She was employed in the office of the Anaheim Union Water company, holdi-ing the position until her marriage to Henry Matter a year ago. She was a popular and well beloved young lady, and her untimely death is sincerely mourned by her wide circle of friends. The remains were interred in Loma Vista cemetery.

E. Vaughn Declaring that she is the widow of the late Robert E. Vaughn, who left an estate valued at $17,350, and demanding a share of the estate on the ground that she was his common-law wife, Katherine Oglesby Vaughn offered in Judge Walton J. Wood's court in Los Angeles Saturday, a unique document to substantiate her claim. Her claim is disputed. Mr. Vaughn died March 4, 1921, without a will. His heirs, besides his purported widow, are his brother, J. C. Vaughn, administrator of the estate; and his sister, Mrs. Mary S. Rowley. The matter came before Judge Wood last week for distribution of the estate, and the testimony was resumed Monday. The document, written in pencil, was worded as follows: "This certifies that a marriage performed with Katherine and R. E., are husband and wife in the sight of God, never to be separated, even in death. Katherine Oglesby Lamonde. R. E. Vaughn, Grant Pass, Mo., May 16, 1920, Kansas City, Mo. Dear Old Mother's request. Rev. A. E. Burch, Baptist minister of the gospel united my only love and I. I feel my prayer is being answered now and God is good. My Katherine, my wife.

If God wills to take me first, will you place me beside my mother and you will come later. I will. Katherine. If God wills to take me first, place me beside your mother and you will come and rest by me. I will. I will. R. E." Two names are attested to the document as witnesses. R. E. Vaughn was a resident of Anaheim for a number of years. He came here from Coffeyville, Kansas, county is a tough one, and his days are full of uncertainties. No sooner does a patriotic citizen get himself established in the moonshine business and accumulate a profitable list of thirsty customers than Sheriff Jackson and his ubiquitous deputies drop down upon him and lay waste to his business. Many a growing industry has been nipped in the bud in northern Orange county in recent months by the perniciously active sheriff, and many a man whose only offense was endeavoring to relieve the sufferings of the thirsty has been landed in jail on a charge of violating the laws of the United States, the state of California and the county of Orange. Jackson is losing votes among those who manufacture moonshine whiskey and the customers who buy it. Saturday night the sheriff and a number of his deputies raided a place at Sonoratown, just outside the northern city limits of the city. Officers had been watching the place for some time, but the moonshiners were all unconscious of the fact that the eye of the law was upon them, consequently when the heavy hand descended upon them they were unprepared, and everything was in the open. The still was captured by the officers, 500 gallons of mash in readiness for the still was confiscated, and several gallons of perfectly good liquor, ready for the market, destroyed by the ruthless minions of the law. Juan Altamurans, proprietor of the place, was placed under arrest, as was also Francisco Ramirez, who appeared to be a salesman for the establishment. Ramirez tried to make a getaway, but the sheriff hunted him down and took a bottle of booze away from him. It is charged that he conducted a traveling bar, carrying his stock-in-trade in his pockets, and peddling it at two bits a drink. Ramirez has already served two terms in the county jail for boot-legging.

Vaughn was a resident of Anaheim for a number of years. He came here from Coffeyville, Kansas, and purchased the feed mill near the Santa Fe tracks, and after disposing of the mill purchased a ranch near Cypress. He made annual trips to Missouri to visit his aged mother, and it must have been during one of these trips that the strange marriage was contracted.

Covers for 150 men were laid in the private dining room of the Inn, a seat of honor being accorded to Judge J. B. Cox, "punisher of overloaded trucks." The Los Angeles and Long Beach contingents came to Santa Ana in large new busses and served as "peptomizers" for getting prospective members lined up for the proposed Orange County Highway and Transportation company. Monty Siscus, of Brea, chairman of the Orange county group, acted as toastmaster and gave the address of welcome following the dinner. The Misses Anna Vogan and Grace Elder sang. C. A. Nelson, president of the Long Beach association, and John T. Houser, general secretary of the Los Angeles association, talked, in addition to Judge Cox. Members of the various associations gave impromptu speeches and the evening was closed with the singing of an association song written by one of the members, and which alludes to Judge Cox, Orange county jail, bail and so forth. Another meeting was set for October 16 at the Alexandria hotel, Los Angeles. Ferd Heying's Rhode Island Red chieken's captured practically all the prizes in classes in which they were entered at the Orange county fair. He captured half a dozen ribbons.
