VOLUME LII CLAMORING FOR ADMISSION TO THE CITY TWO SECTIONS ON THE NORTH WANT TO BREAK THROUGH THE CORPORATE LINE Sonoratown, With a Population of Three Hundred, Asks to Be Taken Into the Fold as a Means of Settling the Water Problem—Health of the Settlement Endangered By Impure Water—People on North Palm Also Deside an Extension of the Service. That Anaheim will eventually extend its corporate limits farther northward and meet the city of Fullerton coming south, is foreordained, the only question of uncertainty being how many more orange crops will be harvested before the prosperous ranches between the two cities are subdivided and put on the market as building lots. Less than a year ago two tracts on which have no distinction for one or the other as long as those laws are respected. We were accepted because we ere coming to contribute with out strength to the great progress of America—contribute as a drop of water helps to make the wave that forms the great ocean. "We believe that you will help us because you know all this and also know of our desire to help in the growth of the city of Anaheim and make it the most beautiful city of the southland." The addition of this section would not boost the tax roll very greatly, but it would add probably 300 to the population.

Less than a year ago two tracts on the north were taken into the city limits of Anaheim, adding much to the wealth and many good people to our population roll, and now two more sections are clamoring for admission, in order that the water system and other city conveniences may be extended to them. Two petitions were filed with the trustees Thursday night, one presented by a number of residents on North Palm street. These people want city water and in order to get it they wish to be taken into the city corporation. They want the water immediately without waiting the slow process of the law in making their homes a portion of the municipality. If not taken in within a year they agree to surrender their water system. It was something of a surprise to the trustees when a petition was read from Sonoratown asking that the Mexican settlement in the sugar factory section be admitted to the city. These people also want water. They have suffered much during the past few years because of a lack of adequate water service, and the city government has turned a deaf ear to their frequent appeals for an extension of the system outside the corporate limits. The following petition filed by them is unique and interesting: "In writing the following letter to your honorable body we wish to assure you that it with the highest respect and not with the idea of demanding anything at your hands, but rather with the thought of asking for your assistance in the solving of some of our problems. "First, we wish help in securing the right-of-way for one alley near Perry street. The owner is selling lots adjacent to this alley of unequal length and in some cases extending out over this piece. An alley in this district is a public necessity. "Second, and more important, we desire to ask for your help in securing water from the city of Anaheim in order to protect the health of our With a capital and surplus of $125,000, the Fullerton Commercial and Savings bank was formally launched by a meeting of the stockholders of the First National bank and the Fullerton Savings bank. The ne wbank, which will be among the finest south of Los Angeles, is in reality an enlargement of the Fullerton Savings bank. With the opening of the California hotel, at Spadra road and Wilshire avenue, the bank will occupy the quarters at the end of the southwest wing of the building, where every convenience known to modern banking will be installed. The announcement of the capital and surplus of the new institution means that the stockholders who represented 420 shares out of the total of 500, agreed to double that of the Fullerton Savings bank, the parent institution of the new branch. H. C. Krause, president of the First National bank of Fullerton, will be the head of the new institution, though the actual management will be under the direction of M. A. Patterson, who at present is with the First National bank in Clemenceau, Ariz. Patterson has had wide banking experience and for many years was connected with the First National bank of San Diego. It is the plan of the directors to open the doors for business shortly after the first of the year, or just as soon as the vaults and other equipment can be installed. The interior will be handsomely finished in marble and special attention will be paid to the wants of women clients. The plans for the interior call for an expenditure of $22,000 for fixtures. It was also announced that the total assets for the Fullerton Savings bank at this time amount to $800,000, which is an increase of more than $100,000 in the last 12 months. FULLERTON STUDENTS FAILED TO CLASSIFY RUTABAGA Some Thought is Was a Fish, Others a Bird Whether a rutabaga is a fish, a bird or a vegetable is a question which has caused a great deal of thought on the part of the members of the junior college student body of Fullerton since the recent intelligence test given by Dr. Thomas Newlin, teacher of Unless the weather changes, the community Christmas event to be given at no morrow night will be enjoyable entertainment for many a day, and thousands of children expected to attend will Santa Claus will be an example supply of presents distributed impartially of their race, color or intention of the committee to give an attainment for the Mexico following evening done, and all the Mare are invited to assemble community tree at this on Friday evening.

"Second, and more important, we desire to ask for your help in securing water from the city of Anaheim in order to protect the health of our children. The water we now have is not sufficient pure quality for us to drink with safety, nor are we able to get the quantity we should have for the fifty or more families now resiring in this district. "We are at present outside the city limits of Anaheim and for that reason we do not enjoy the water privileges as do those citizens living in Anaheim. We would be willing to become a part of Anaheim and pay our part of the city taxes in order that we get this water which is so necessary to us at this time. Our thought in writing to you is to ask that you take this matter up with the city officials for us and ascertain if they can take us into the city or make some other arrangement with the water company which will enable us to secure the water we desire. "Over there, the other side of the Rio Bravo lies a country where we were born. Over there we learned of this land of men like Washington and Lincoln. The two greatest men of America; great because some of their doctrines have been accepted all over the world. We feel that we form part of the same humanity which they taught. Since our childhood in our public schools we learned that those doctrines have made of this country the nation most democratic of the earth. Years after, when we became men and crossed your borders, we were accepted under your good laws, FULLERTON STUDENTS FAILED TO CLASSIFY RUTABAGA Some Thought is Was a Fish, Others a Bird Whether a rutabaga is a fish, a bird or a vegetable is a question which has caused a great deal of thought on the part of the members of the junior college student body of Fullerton since the recent intelligence test given by Dr. Thomas Newlin, teacher of psychology at the college. The perplexed California students do not consider that they should be graded as morons, merely because they failed to live in the east where this vegetable is most prolific. In fact many of the faculty members found themselves equally puzzled on this as well as other questions. They wish to be spared the shock of the grade they may receive as a result of this quiz. Many of the "high and mighty" are doomed to fall in their own as well as in the estimations of their comrades when the results are made known, it is generally believed. J. A. Clayes, principal of the Ana-heim union high school, and all the teachers from that institution, will attend the California Teachers' convention in Los Angeles, December 20, 21 and 22, for its twenty-ninth annual session. Representatives from all the high schools in the county, including R. P. Mitchell, county school superintendent, will attend the institute, which is being held at the Bible institution auditorium. Attendance of Orange county teachers at this institute is compulsory, it was stated, and although the Orange county teachers attended the institute which was held last October, it will be necessary for all teachers to also be present at this Los Angeles meeting." AHEIM GAZETY Anaheim, California, Thursday, December 21, 1922 SANTA CLAUS IS COMING TO ALL CHILDREN COMMUNITY CHRISTMAS TREE TO YIELD PRESENTS TO THOUSANDS The Committee Has Raised Sufficient Funds and Promise That There Will Be Presents Enough to Make All the Kiddies Happy—Choral Society and High School Band to Furnish Music for the Entertainment. Unless the weather man interferes the community Christmas entertainment to be given at the city park tomorrow night will be one of the most enjoyable entertainments given here for many a day, and everyone of the thousands of children who are expected to attend will go home happy. Santa Claus will be on hand with an ample supply of presents which will be distributed impartially irrespective of their race, color or condition. The population and expressed the belief that the tract mentioned would meet that requirement. He pointed out that evading out the fair grounds on the tract there could be established a big county play center which would be convenient to all sections of the county and which could be utilized for big county events. He said the site is miles from the corner of Fourth and Main streets, Santa Ana, and 3.2 miles from the corner of Los Angeles and center streets, Anaheim. He declared the site has the advantage of being on the state highway, where it could be seen by thousands of tourists pass through the county. This, he considered a valuable feature. Fred Ahlborn, of Anaheim, and L. F. Coburn, of Orange, spoke in favor of such location of the fair grounds, and it was Coburn's motion that brought the recommendation of the county body. Lew H. Wallace, of Newport Beach, after hearing the addresses, said that while he believed delegates to the Associated Chambers should be advised by their organizations as to their preference, he would "take a chance" and vote in favor of the motion. J. C. Metzgar, secretary of the chamber of commerce, pointed out that the business block for W. Center Street Mr. and Mrs. N. H. Mitchell have reached home after an eight-months' tour of Europe, looking hale and hearty.

Santa Claus will be on hand with an ample supply of presents which will be distributed impartially irrespective of their race, color or condition. The intention of the community service committee to give a separate entertainment for the Mexican children on the following evening has been aban-doned, and all the Mexican children are invited to assemble around the community tree at the municipal park on Friday evening. The tree is a fruitful one, and will yield presents for all. E. A. Beard, chairman of the finance committee, announces that sufficient funds have been pledged by the various societies, banks and others. People are generous in their donations, as the movement meets the approval of everybody. Chairman T. L. DeCew, of the Christmas tree committee in charge of the affair, invaded Billy Darnley's boxing arena Friday night and took possession of the stage—or the ring, as it is called out there. When he explained that he was there for the purpose of passing the hat in the interest of the community Christmas tree, he was greeted with cheers, and everybody contributed. He carried away a hat full of money. A wagon load of candy has been or-dered for this occasion as well as a large quantity of apples, oranges and other dainties, such as Santa Claus usually carries with him for distribution among the children, and thousands of stockings will be loaded with an assortment. The high school band and the Community Choral society have jointly arranged the musical program, which will be appropriate for a Christmas entertainment. One of the features of the evening will be the planting of a tree in the park by Mayor William Stark, which will be used hereafter as a community Christmas tree. The tree will be dedicated to this service, and its planting will be attended with considerable ceremony. All children are invited to attend this entertainment and greet Santa Claus face to face. The Mexican, the Pickaniny, the Jap and the Chinaman are as welcome as the white kiddies. It was Courn's motion that brought the recommendation of the county body. Lew H. Wallace, of Newport Beach, after hearing the addresses, said that while he believed delegates to the Associated Chambers should be advised by their organizations as to their preference, he would "take a chance" and vote in favor of the motion. J. C. Metzgar, secretary of the chamber of commerce, pointed out that the selection of a site had been left to the farm bureau and the directors of the fair association and expressed the belief that the matter should be left to them. Major H. G. Upham, of Orange, a member of the board of directors of the farm bureau and a member of the 1922 fair committee that made an investigation as to the advisability of associating horse racing with the fair, recounted investigations by the committee and the ensuing decision that racing was a liability. He also told of the questionnaire on the fair site matter sent out by the farm bureau recently. The result of the questionnaire was made public a few days ago. It disclosed that a majority of the men who answered favored the site of the old fair grounds in Santa Ana. Recounting statements of N. D. Darling, chairman of the state highway commission, to the effect that one and one-half per cent of vehicular traffic is responsible for the breaking up of the state and county highways, L. F. Coburn, of Orange, at the Association Chambers of Commerce meeting at Orange, presented a resolution which was passed, demanding state legislation that will eliminate solid tires on motor trucks on boulevards of the state. He cited estimates that $60,000,000 would be required to repair the state highways, and declared that this big expense bill was due directly to the truck traffic represented by one and one-half per cent of the traffic on the roads. During discussion of the resolution, H. A. Lake, of Garden Grove, declared that truck interests of the state were organized and that they maintained men to look after their interests in legislation. Suggestion that a copy of the resolution be sent to the Automobile Club of Southern California, caused Lake to refute statements frequently heard that the club was not favorable to limiting truck weights to Nick Tens of Promotion Worker's Capacity for Beer. Mr. and Mrs. N. H. Mitchell have reached home after an eight-months' tour of Europe, looking hale and hearty. They were in Anaheim Tuesday making preparations to erect a business building on their West Center street lot, just opposite the California theatre. They own sixty feet there, extending from Center to Oak street, and an architect is now preparing plans for a building that will cover it all. In 1868 Mr. Mitchell purchased this property and an adjoining lot, paying $150 per lot. For many years it was the site of a livery stable. The tour of Europe was an enjoyable one, and they bring back with them many pictures and souvenirs. They both enjoyed excellent health, their only cause of complaint being the exorbitant prices charged Americans in all parts of Europe. They were accompanied by their daughter, Blanche, who now resides at Logansport, Indiana. Mr. and Mrs. Mitchell are now making their home at the Blackstone apartments in Long Beach. When the east lot of this property adjoining the Dickel building was sold a year ago it was stipulated that the west wall of the Dr. Bigham building, which was built thereon, should be a party wall, as the Mitchell's contemplated building at that time. They decided to postpone operations, however, until their return from Europe. Mr. and Mrs. Mitchell had many interesting experiences in the old country, but returned without mishap. They visited France, Switzerland, Germany and other lands. They made the trip leisurely, making long stops at celebrated places, consequently the entire journey was enjoyable. They spent several weeks at Muengen, Bavaria, a beautiful town much frequented by Americans at present, who are probably influenced to linger there by the fact that it is the seat of the largest brewery in the world. Mr. Mitchell tells of convoying a party of thirsty Americans to this brewery one day for the purpose of inspecting the vast establishment and sampling its product. Visitors are al ways welcomed. They are seated at tables, while buxom barmalds pass around foaming steins of beer. In Nick's party was one gentleman who in America is a rabid dry and an eminent prohibition worker. He was also The planting of a tree in the park by Mayor William Stark, which will be used hereafter as a community Christmas tree. The tree will be dedicated to this service, and its planting will be attended with considerable ceremony. All children are invited to attend this entertainment and greet Santa Claus face to face. The Mexican, the Pickaniny, the Jap and the Chinaman are as welcome as the white kiddies. ASSOCIATED CHAMBERS DISCUSSES FAIR SITE Recommends That Supervisors Purchase Ground Near Hospital The Associated Chambers of Commerce at Wednesday night's meeting, adopted a resolution asking the supervisors to purchase ground for a permanent county fair site near the county hospital. Santa Ana members and a few others opposed it but the majority voted yes, consequently the proposition is now up to the supervisors. Discussion of the fair site was brought up by Harry D. Riley, of Anaheim, who declared that if the board of supervisors is to spend county money in the purchase of a site "we should have something to say as to where the site should be." He said that an option had been secured on sixty acres owned by B. J. Schwartzbaugh on the state highway, adjoining the George Ford place on the north. What is known as the log cabin fruit stand on the highway is on the northwest corner of the Ford tract. Riley said that the tract soon would be available by two paved highways—the state highway and Placentia avenue. The latter is to be paved in the near future. He declared that the site should be situated with respect to the center of During discussion of the resolution, H. A. Lake, of Garden Grove, declared that truck interests of the state were organized and that they maintained men to look after their interests in legislation. Suggestion that a copy of the resolution be sent to the Automobile Club of Southern California, caused Lake to refute statements frequently heard that the club was not favorable to limiting truck weights to 22,000 pounds. Coburn stressed the point that trucks with solid tires cause the greater part of the damage to the highways. The preamble of the resolutions as adopted declared that construction and maintenance of highways had been a heavy burden on taxpayers; that heavy trucks, especially those with solid tires, and their great speed was rapidly destroying the highways; that city authorities were virtually helpless to prevent such destruction, and that truck owners did not bear their just proportion of maintenance. The legislature was urged "to adopt such legislation as will prevent the use of public highways by trucks and other vehicles equipped with solid tires, save those light vehicles drawn by horses, and that will allow the municipal authorities of the state to adopt such regulations as will prevent the use of the streets of such municipalities by such trucks and other vehicles equipped with solid tires. Fred Marsh is again in the grocery business, having purchased an interest in the Harry Horn store at Center and Claudina streets, the business formerly owned by Marsh. The firm will engage in the wholesale olive business, with branch houses at other points. Mr. Mitchell tells of conveying a party of thirsty Americans to this brewery one day for the purpose of inspecting the vast establishment and sampling its product. Visitors are all ways welcomed. They are seated at tables, while buxom barmaids pass around foaming steins of beer. In Nick's party was one gentleman who in America is a rabid dry and an eminent prohibition worker. He was also dry in Bavaria, it appeared, as he speedily emptied his stein and called for another. In fact he drank so many that Mr. Mitchell measured the combined height of them on his can and made a mark which still shows. It lacks only a few inches of reaching the top of the cane. The eminent worker protested when he discovered that his capacity was being gauged. "For heaven's sake, Nick," he said, "don't tell this in America. If you do my occupation is gone and I am a ruined man." Mr. Mitchell declares that he and Mrs. Mitchell have had all the traveling experience they crave, and they expect hereafter to live quietly and peaceably in their hotel at Long Beach. Charles Howell, of Placentia, is congratulating himself over his narrow escape from drowning Friday when a coupe upset in a deep drainage ditch full of water between Huntington Beach and Garden Grove. Howell, with D. E. and F. G. Hollingshead, brothers, of Placentia, were returning from the beach in the rain. The car sud-denly skidded and toppled over, bottom-side up, in the canal beside the road. The Hollingsheads quickly got out, but Howell, immersed in the water, had considerable difficulty, finally crawling through a window. BLOCK ENTER ET H. MITCHELL SITE CALI.

NEWS We extract the following from the latest issue of the Chamber of Commerce Bulletin: Your board of directors is making a careful survey of possible timber in the selection of the 1923 California Valencia Orange Show executive committee. This important body means to begin functioning at once. It is the plan to use a part of the new city park for next year's orange show, thereafter utilizing our new 15.acre site for the holding of following expositions. In this connection your board is pleased to announce that a bona fide offer has been received of $75,000 cash within one year for the 15 acres we purchased at the end of July for $45,000. This offer was refused, but it is quite possible that five acres on the west side of the tract will be disposed of for subdivision purposes. This piece will undoubtedly net the orange show at least 60 per cent of the entire purchase price. Certain lots on the Palm street frontage can easily be disposed of later to meet the major portion of the balance remaining. The board has had several meetings and Messrs. Riley and Berger have held numerous conferences with a view to securing county wide support for a central recreational park in Orange county to be located, preferably, in the midst of our most heavily congested population, which would be at or near the county hospital site on the highway. It is impossible to venture a prophecy as to whether the Orange county fair board will view such a location favorably. A joint meeting between this board and the Orange county fair board was held last week and two hours given to the discussion of the proposition. Several centrally located sites are in view for possible selection. A meeting held at Fullerton recently That Anaheim will have another railroad within two months is the statement of Vice-President de Bra-bant, of the Union Pacific system. Construction work on the branch of that road from the Whittier terminal to Anaheim is now being rushed, and Mr. de Brabant states that it will be completed and in operation some time during the month of February. There has been much speculation as to whether the road would stop at Anaheim, or be pushed farther south, but Mr. de Brabant states that it will build on to Santa Ana in order to tap more of the rich territory of Orange county, which he declares, is the most productive spot in the United States. From Santa Ana it will, no doubt, eventually build on to San Diego, but at the present time the officers contemplate making Santa Ana the terminal. "The road building is expensive," Mr. de Brabant said, "but to reach that richly productive territory is worth the cost. The population of the county is 100,000, bank deposits are $35,000,000, the assessed valuation for this year will approximate $150,000,000, and the production of the soil and oil wells will be not less than $103,000,000. The Union Pacific can afford to spend money, even at this time, when ordinarily there is small inducement to railroad building, to reach a country with such a record of productivity." During the present year 16,000,000 barrels of oil have been produced, 16,-746,346 pounds of walnuts and 46,000,-000 pounds of sugar. There are 26,-957 acres of oranges, and 52,000 acres were planted in lima beans. Forty-one thousand automobiles have been sold in the county, and in the four leading cities of the county, Fullerton, Ana-heim, Orange and Santa Ana, building permits for 11 months represented a value of $8,030,000. In the county are 250 miles of paved roads. These are some of the facts found by the railroad and others making a census of Orange county's production, which, according to Mr. de Brabant, make the Union Pacific company eager to reach the territory with its line without delay. Building of this road to Anaheim makes this city a station on another of the great railroad systems of the United States. Since the advent of the automobile, the motor truck, and the extension of interurban electrics, railroads are not so necessary to of convoying a Americans to this purpose of establishment and Visitors are al. they are seated at barmaids pass of beer.

The park plans are to be vigorously prosecuted; in fact, those who have visited the site recently will note that a good many of the hardier trees and plants have already been set in their permanent locations, according to the plans of Messrs. Cook & Hall, landscape architects. City Attorney Weisel, City Manager Steward and our trustees are stretching every nerve to bring the date of starting construction on the principal items as near as possible and it is confidently hoped that by the end of 1923, Anaheim's city park will be entirely ready for public use. It is believed that the city trustees will center their constructive efforts on the swimming pool and other gested population, which would be at or near the county hospital site on the highway. It is impossible to venture a prophecy as to whether the Orange county fair board will view such a location favorably. A joint meeting between this board and the Orange county fair board was held last week and two hours given to the discussion of the proposition. Several centrally located sites are in view for possible selection. A meeting held at Fullerton recently was attended by delegations from nearly every point in northern Orange county and a solid feeling was expressed for the centrally located site by all delegates present. If a central site shall be decided upon, the California Valencia Orange Show and the county fair will adopt it for the holding of all future expositions. A race track, ample parking space and suitable administration buildings will be planned to meet the needs of these annual shows, besides pageants and other celebrations of county-wide appeal. The county board of supervisors will be asked to purchase the site and perfect it for these uses. The next step in building our city beautiful will be the campaign for the extension of our ornamental street lighting standards. This is one of the planks you voted for at the beginning of this fiscal year. The plan is to extend these standards to the city limits, both on Los Angeles and Center streets. Those who have enjoyed the extensions recently made by Fullerton can appreciate their great safety possibilities as well as the publicity value to the city, which they immediately afford. The city trustees will pay their share of this improvement, which will enhance the selling value of every foot of frontage to be affected. There's one thing about having a lot of troubles—the big ones make you forget the little ones.
