VOLUME LII MEAT MUST BEAR INSPECTOR'S STAMP TRUSTEES ADOPT ORDINANCE FOR PROTECTION AGAINST IMPURE FOOD Program Considered for the Paving of More Than Twenty Blocks—Municipal Band Asks for an Increased Appropriation From the City—Agreement of Three Cities on the Outfall Sewer Project Received and Filed—Contractor Beginning Work This Week. Provision for the inspection of all meats sold in Anaheim by federal or state officials has embodied an ordinance adopted by the trustees last Thursday night. The ordinance will take effect December 29. It provides that all meats sold in the city must bear the O. K. stamp of a federal or state inspector, and any person selling meat that has not passed through department of agriculture, by representatives of the railroads to the car service division of the American Railway association and by a representative of the San Francisco chamber of commerce to Seth Mann, now in Washington. All these telegrams urged immediate action to relieve what was described as a very critical situation confronting California producers and shippers. The conference, which was held in the court room of the commission, was attended by a hundred representatives of various shipping interests and of the railroads, was presided over by President Harley W. Brunidge, of the commission, and sitting with him were Commissioners Irving Martin, Chester H. Rowell, H. Stanley Benedict and C. F. Hoover, representing the service bureau of the interstate commerce commission. The conference was called as a result of complaints received from the interested shippers who declared that the west bound movement of empty cars was being concentrated in Pacific northwest territory and that as a result the industrial life of this state was being seriously crippled.

Newland as foreman, meet in de- Provision for the inspection of all meats sold in Anaheim by federal or state officials has embodied in an ordinance adopted by the trustees last Thursday night. The ordinance will take effect December 29. It provides that all meats sold in the city must bear the O. K. stamp of a federal or state inspector, and any person selling meat that has not passed through the hands of the inspector is subject to a fine of not less than $15 or more than $500. A jail sentence of not less than five days nor more than six months may also be imposed. An ordinance establishing street grades in the recently opened Mills tract on North street was also adopted. The trustees are considering a paving program that will add more than twenty blocks to the present system, and it was reported Thursday night the pipe for the enlargement of the water service before the pavement is laid, has arrived at San Pedro by boat. It is proposed to pave West street from Broadway to Center, Citron street from Center to Cypress, Emily street from Center to Cypress, Sycamore street from Olive to Lemon, Zeyn street from Sycamore to North, and Palm street from Broadway to Cypress. The Anaheim municipal band petitioned the trustees for an increase in the subsidy allowed that musical organization. The band gives free concerts at the park during the summer months and otherwise adds to the enjoyment of the inhabitants, and the members consider that $1200 per year is not adequate pay for their services, especially as they are nearly $300 in the hole on expenses for the past year. They want an appropriation of $2000 for the coming year. It was pointed out that the city of Fullerton pays its band $4000 per year, while Long Beach appropriates $40,000 annually for the municipal band. The trustees will consider the petition when the annual budget is adopted. The reality board is making preparations to entertain for a day the delegates to the California real estate men's convention, which will be held in Santa Ana in December, and the board appropriated $50 to help pay the expenses. The H. N. White Hardware company was awarded the contract for furnishing certain material for the conference was called as a result of complaints received from the interested shippers who declared that the west bound movement of empty cars was being concentrated in Pacific northwest territory and that as a result the industrial life of this state was being seriously crippled.

MORE CARS DEMANDED As the result of a conference of representatives of shippers, traffic associations, chambers of commerce and of the railroads called by the state railroad commission to consider the serious shortage of box car equipment, an urgent telegram was sent by the state commission to the interstate commerce commission requesting the issuance of an emergency order whereby railroads serving California shall receive at least four hundred empty box cars daily for a period of 30 days. This telegram was supplemented by wires from C. F. Hoover, representing the bureau of service of the interstate railroad commission, by George H.

A total of approximately 200 scouts and visitors were present. Second class badges, first badges and merit badges were awarded. The troop committee of the Brea troop met on Wednesday evening, and formulated plans for the completion of the campaign there to erect a scout building for the troop at Brea. This project is well under way and the scouts will soon have a 30x60 modern building. Troop No. 11 of Santa Ana was reorganized at the Richland avenue Methodist church with promises to be a real troop during the coming winter. One of the greatest days in scouting was spent last Saturday at the Orange county park, when between fifty and sixty scoutmasters and scout leaders from all over the county assembled at 2 o'clock to edeive instruction in how to put "out" in scouting, under the direction of the scout executive. At 2 o'clock outdoor and nature study games were taught. At 3 p.m. Dr. Roy S. Horton conducted a school in map making, following which a treasure hunt was indulged in under the direction of Victor E. Teaney. At 4 o'clock each man constructed a fireplace over which he cooked his evening meal. At 6:30 the evening entertainment program was held under the direction of the scout executive. Songs, jokes and stories were told. Many of the scoutmasters brought their families that day. Scouts all over the county co-operated with the Red Cross drive by distributing posters and other literature during the week.

CITIES COMPETE FOR CUP Twenty-four cities of California are now entered in the second annual Home Town Contest to be held under the auspices of the California Real Estate association at its eighteenth annual convention at Santa Ana, Thursday evening, December 7 1922. This announcement was made by President C. C. C. Tatum, of the state association and the following cities will compete for the cup: Anaheim, Bakersfield, Berkeley, Brawley, Contra Costa, Dinuba, El Centro, East San Diego, Fresno, Fulerton, Gardena, Glendale, Hermosa Beach, Huntington Park, Long Beach, Monrovia, Oakland, Paso Robles, Pomona, Riverside, San Diego, Santa Barbara, Santa Rosa, Venice, Van Nuys, Whittier and Pasadena. It is expected that there will be at least 10 more cities enter the contest before the convention is opened. Conditions of the contest require the speaker to be a member of the local real estate board and of the state association. The trophy is a beautiful silver loving cup offered by Fred E. Reed, former state president. Mr. Reed will head a delegation of 50 realtors from the Oakland and San Francisco bay region to the state convention. The reality board caravans are being gotten up by the Southwest Reality Board of Los Angeles, Long Beach Realty Board. Beverly Hills Realty Board, Sacramento Realtors' association, Venice and Santa Monica Realty Boards, Riverside and San Bernardino Realty Boards, and the San Diego Realty Board. Many of these convention delegates while no effort has yet been made to develop the oil territory in the immediate vicinity of Anaheim, quite a number of Anaheimmers have invested in foreign fields, and developments within the past few weeks indicate that some of them will shortly be living on "Easy Street." Two weeks ago a well at Huntington Beach, promoted largely by Anaheim capital, came in as a gusher,and all who invested in it are pocketing large dividends. A year or more ago a company was organized in Anaheim, Fullerton and Whittier for the development of a valuable lease in the great Tampico field in Mexico. For some months work of drilling a well has been in progress, and word has been received by the stockholders here that the drill is nearing the oil sand and work is hampered b ythe premature flow of oil. Wells in the vicinity of this lease are the most productive in the world, ranging in production from 25,000 to 250,000 barrels per day. Should this well prove as productive as its neighbors,a number of Anaheim citizens would suddenly find themselves in the plutocrat class. The latest strike in oil, however, in which Anaheim people are interested is the Bolsa Chica Petroleum corporation at Huntington Beach, which was brought in Saturday evening. It started at a low pressure, but has increased until it is now flowing 2000 barrels per day. It is a deep sand well and all experts declare that it will be one of California's greatest gushers. Charles A. Boege, of this city, is president of the company owning the well,and other stockholders are Adolph Thomas, J. B. Spencer,V. D. Loly,H. L. Turton,Tomas Lumden and Mrs.Joseph Helmsen.Hugh Grant is secretary of the company and was its organizer,maintaining offices in this city,the first man to profit from oil production in Huntington Beach field,在 April ,1921,has had unvarying confidence in the permanence of the field which he has shown repeatedly by investing heavily of his own funds when development called for quick and ready money.Recently he and Mr.Boege acquired for the corporation additional acreage of great value in this proven zone,nobody a piece adjoining the lease on which the spectacular Jackie Coogan No. 1 stands;also they bought another piece just next to the city hails comes to sued due more than lars.works.of a m.after Sam take out to be en delphia.cost $257,000 above tha TAKE IT With ing legions of the less thou cluding banks.California Bankers.The meeting by the presider.Turlockford,cat.O bank.O appointtee tler of Ana.is committe.The c within o pose o submitters associatiowhicha requlally,the formed Bent State leeMem limited bank th buing rated c CHRISTMAS ORANGES Holida yorange shipments from Orange county already are under way, according to Horticultural Commissioner A.

These resuire a 70 per cent color test to pass the state law. Color charts are used in the tests by the horticultural commissioner, who is called to certify the fruit. Fruit picked when only 25 per cent colored is sweeted and the color brought up to the required standard, Mr. Brock stated. It is expected that from 15 to 20 cars of holiday fruit will be shipped from Orange county to eastern points for Christmas.

Recently he and Mr. Boege acquired for the corporation additional acreage of great value in this proven zone, notably a piece adjoining the lease on which the spectacular Jackie Coogan No. 1 stands; also they bought another piece just next to the present discovery well which adds measurably to the assets. FLAHERTY RESIGNS AS FARM BUREAU SECRETARY Becoming effective January 1, R. D. Flaherty, secretary-manager of the Orange county farm bureau, has handed in his resignation, having decided to engage in other business. Flaherty came to the Orange county farm bureau as secretary-manager September 1, 1921, from Medford, Oregon, where for two and one-half years he was manager of the county marketing organization of that section. It was understood the board of directors of the Orange county farm bureau were advised of Flaherty's intention to resign last September and accepted his resignation at the meeting of the board held November 2. Applications for the position were received at the recent meeting of the executive committee, but no definite action on the applications was reported. Commenting on Flaherty's resignation, Dr. J. R. Schoffeld, president of the Orange county farm bureau, said: "We are sorry to lose Flaherty. We would like to keep him because during the last year we have experienced the quality as well as the quantity of his work. It has been a very pleasant and PEOPLE RICH STRIKE ROLEUM CORRINGS IN BIG BEACH A Day With Pros Be One of Cali Gushers—Com here With Anating It—Charles of the Company Secretary—Other prosperous year for the bureau and we consider that great credit is due our secretary-manager.

I always shall have a feeling of kinship for the Orange county farm bureau, and want to thank its members now for the fine co-operation I have received during my pleasant year here. My intention to open an accounting office in Santa Ana comes as a result of being in a position to appreciate the opportunities in Orange county." BREAKING THE RECORD It is predicted by officials at the city hall that when the year 1922 comes to a close building permits issued during the year will amount to more than a million and a half dollars, which will exceed b ya quarter of a million dollars the high record of 1921. Up to the close of last week the permits issued aggregated $1,257,000, which was a few thousand above the total for 1921. It is believed that the December permits will increase this year's second to a million and a half especially.

Up to the close of last week the permits issued aggregated $1.257,000, which was a few thousand above the total for 1921. It is believed that the December permits will increase this year's record to a million and a half, especially as Samuel Kraemer is expected to take out a permit for a business block to be erected on the corner of Philadelphia and Center streets, which will cost $200,000. One of the features of the record for this year was the large number of permits issued for residences, but notwithstanding this the demand for houses is just as great now as it was a year ago. Anaheim's population is increasing at a rapid rate. TAKE STEPS TOWARD CURBING BRANCH BANKS With the avowed purpose of seeking legislation to curb the extension of the branch system in California, not less than 150 banks of this state, including a number of Orange county banks, have become members of the California League of Independent Bankers. The league was organized at a meeting at Riverside Saturday night, by the election of Howard Whipple, president of the Commercial Bank, of Turlock, as president, and E. J. Sanford, cashier of the Ontario National bank, Ontario, as secretary, and the appointment of an executive committee of fifteen. W. B. Williams, cashier of the Fire National bank, Santa Ana, is a member of the executive committee. The executive committee is to meet within a week at Fresno for the purpose of drawing up measures to be submitted to the California Bankers' association's legislative committee, which will meet December 10, with a request for their approval. Eventually, the proposals of the newly formed California League of Independent Bankers will be submitted to the state legislature. Membership in the new league is limited to unit banks; that is, to the bank that does not do a branch banking business outside of the incorporated city for which its bankng chair. True to their usual custom, the local Elks' are making extensive preparations to look after the needy persons within the jurisdiction of the Anaheim lodge during the holiday season and to see that Christmas cheer will not be absent from the homes paassed up by Santa Claus. The jurisdiction of the Anaheim lodge extends from midway between this city and Santa Ana, and half way to Whittler on the north. Although this is the most prosperous section of the United States, this year there are many unemployed, consequently it is estimated that there will be an unusual number to look after this year. In order to swell the Christmas fund so that no needy family will be left out of the relief program, the Elks have staged a unique entertainment which will be given at the club house on Wednesday and Thursday, Decedber 6 and 7, and they expect all the people of Anaheim whose hearts are in the right place to patronize it. Even though you may not be charitably inclined, it is promised that you will get the worth of your money, and it won't hurt you to know that the small price you pay for an admission ticket will be used to feed some hungry family or make some kiddie happy on Christmas day. Vic LaMont, chairman of the amusement committee, promises that the show will be a clean and wholesome one, such as would pass the most fastidious censor. There is going to be a cage of wild men from Darkest Africa, a number of freaks of nature,and other curiosities. There will also be dancing and all kinds of sporting games. There is a possibility also that you may be awarded a valuable prize if you attend this circus. Of course nothing will be tolerated that will conflict with the law of the land or violate the conscientious beliefs of any person, but it is said that you may find yourself the owner of a Christmas turkey, or a ham, or a baby or something equally as valuable. Somebody will get them, and you may be lucky. This is not a carnival, but a society circus—an entetrainment that is unique, and you are going to miss a good thing if you pass it up. GLARING LIGHTS MUST BE ELIMINTED in April, 1921, confidence in the hold which he has invested heavier when developed and ready monMr. Boege accretion additional time in this proven adjoining the spectacular Jackie holds; also they just next to the well which adds sets. Membership in the new league is limited to unit banks; that is, to the bank that does not do a branch banking business outside of the incorporated city for which its banking charter was issued. Branch banking has been the subject of considerable discussion in the banking conventions of all kinds in this state for the past two years, it was pointed out. A number of powerful banks of the state have been active in establishing branch banks in the smaller cities of the state. Resolutions have been passed by Group Four, California Bankers' association, to which most of the banks of this county belong, condemning branch banking as a blow at the independence of the smaller cities. The contention in the resolutions is that a branch bank looks at its business from the viewpoint of the big city, that eventually the tendency is to divert business to the parent bank that the branch bank is not as interested in the development of the city as is the local bank, and that the system is designed to curb development of the smaller city as against the city in which the central bank is located. It is understood that the legislation that will be sought is for the amendment of the state banking laws that give the branch bank advantages over the local banks. Since the two are in competition, it was pointed out at the Riverside meeting, the branch bank ought to be made to do business under the same rules as those set down in the law for chartered banks. GLARING LIGHTS MUST BE ELIMINTED Pointing out that there will be no let-up in the campaign being conducted by the Orange county motorcycle officers against glaring headlights and declaring that fifteen complaints have been issued since the officers began their drive last Saturday night, District Attorney Alex P. Nelson indicated that the motorcycle squad will continue to make roundups. "There will be no cessation of the activities of the motorcycle officers," said Nelson. "and we will make every reasonable effort to see that this menace is eliminated on Orange county highways." "Ample warning has been given and there is no logical reason why motorists should not co-operate with us in this movement. It means the safety of all concerned. "Testing stations, established in the county, will gladly assist motorists in the adjustment of their headlights. Those holding certificates issued by the accredited testing stations will be assured of protection, even though the officers find that their lights are out of adjustment." Possession of the certificate will at least show a willingness on the part of the motorists to make these highway safe at night." The district attorney said motorcycle officers had been instructed to keep a close watch on all cars with brilliant lights and stop every driven person, but it is said that you may find yourself the owner of a Christmas turkey, or a ham, or a baby or something equally as valuable. Somebody will get them, and you may be lucky. This is not a carnival, but a society circus—an entrainment that is unique, and you are going to miss a good thing if you pass it up.
