VOLUME LII MANY APPLY FOR SPACE IN BIG SHOW TENTS THOUSANDS OF SQUARE FEET ADDED TO LAST YEAR'S FLOOR SPACE Several Additional Feature Displays Assured for This Year's Exhibition — Orange County Firms Seeking Concessions to Be Taken Care of First—List Opened at Chamber of Commerce This Week—Largely Increased Attendance Predicted By the Managers. The California Valencia Orange show will far surpass the splendid exhibition of last year in every respect, is positively announced by the men in charge of the work of preparing for it. Many thousand square feet will be added to the space in the tents in order to accommodate as many as possible of those who are seeking concessions. Applications for space are already pouring in rapidly. This week placed extensive exhibits in the show last year, and others who contemplate the installation of exhibits in May. One feature of the meeting was a roll call of boosters, to which those who have taken an active part in the show in the past and who will assume responsibility for the success of the show this year responded. All of the Orange county supervisors attended the meeting. A donation of $2500 to assist in putting on the show was given for the county by the supervisors, who considered the show one of the greatest advertising features possible for Orange county. T. B. Talbert, chairman of the board of supervisors, spoke on the possibilities of the Valencia Orange show, and declared that in the show lay a fine opportunity to advertise southern California, Orange county and Anaheim. Mr. Talbert urged co-operation of all Orange county in the project, which is strictly of this county, he declared. Herman Stern, president of the Valencia Orange show committee, declared that a bigger and better show than ever will be staged at Anaheim this year, and called upon those present to work with him toward this end. Mr. Stern declared that the show did not belong to Anaheim, nor to Orange county, but was state-wide in scope, and urged all who participated in it to aid in broadening the MAY SEEK VICINITY ANAHEM ERNEST BORCHERTING WITH STANDARD WELL ON HIS Other Ranchers on the Road Ready to Lease Development — People That Oil Exists But New Field May Be Will Make Anaheim Great Industry.

Many thousand square feet will be added to the space in the tents in order to accommodate as many as possible of those who are seeking concessions. Applications for space are already pouring in rapidly. This week the list was opened for Orange county exhibitors, as it is proposed to take care of all the local people if possible. There will also be several more feature displays than there were a year ago, and they will undoubtedly be more artistic and beautiful, as those constructing them are learning from experience. All the firms, companies and associations having feature displays last year have applied for space again, and several others have made application. M. A. Fraser, manager of the show, makes the following statement: "This year a large added volume of canvas is being used and in every department strides are being taken to put all past attempts in the shade. A wide publicity program will be flung throughout southern California and the masses of tourists daily seeking these parts for their permanent place of abode this year seems to guarantee profitable return against the increased expenses which have been decided upon. Already Bastanchury ranch, Orange county, believed to be the largest citrus grove in the world, comprising 220 acres, has agreed to put in an artistic feature. This great grove will ship 1000 carloads of citrus fruit this year, being only in its second year of production." "Other features have been promised by civic and municipal bodies in Corona, Orange, Anaheim, Pasadena and other centers which derive great profit from the production of Valencia oranges. Many packing houses, members of the California Fruit Growers' exchange, and several very large independent orange packers will take rack and other wall space provided for in the 250 by 180 foot citrus department tent of this year's show, and a large by-product exhibit is being built up which will show increasing uses to which the Valencia orange is being put for commercial use. "This year the attractions are to be placed on mammoth terms in Ana." Many packing houses, members of the California Fruit Growers' exchange, and several very large independent orange packers will take rack and other wall space provided for in the 250 by 180 foot citrus department tent of this year's show, and a large by-product exhibit is being built up which will show increasing uses to which the Valencia orange is being put for commercial use. "This year the attractions are to be placed under mammoth tents in Anaheim's city park, which has been purchased under bond issue by the city, and is now undergoing landscape plans which are to cost $100,000. This park is located within 500 yards of the mercantile center of Anaheim, and is reached by autoists over El Camino Real by way of Cypress street on which the main entrance will be located. A park of lawn and shrubs is being planted to set off the grounds contiguous to the main gate. The third annual California Valencia Orange show this year will create an expenditure of over $250,000, including costs to all exhibitors and those who seek admission at its gates, a very conservative estimate of which is fixed at 125,000." Representative citizens from all sections of Orange county met at the Elks' club house Monday evening for the purpose of discussing the show and pledging it support. It is not recognized now as an exclusive Anaheim affair, but is considered a county institution, and is receiving just as loyal support from the other cities and towns of the county as it is from Anaheim. More than 100 persons actively interested in the development of the show as a feature of state-wide importance and interest, attended the meeting, which was called by the executive board of the show. Included in this number were several who Ernest had sold his interest in the Plain Dealer to Paul Hester, his associate in the business, and on Monday Mrs. Ernest filed a petition in the superior court seeking to restrain him from selling his interest, claiming that it was his purpose to place the money in such a position that she could not secure any part of it. The transfer of the property was to have been made Monday afternoon, it is claimed. It is also stated that the suit brought by Ward Ernest is still pending, and will come up in due time. BLUE BLOODED HORSE Henry Tuffree, of Placentia, was a business visitor in cown a few days ago, astride his beautiful saddle mare, the animal attracting much attention from people who are lovers of horse flesh. The mare is now 12 years old, her sire being a French coach and her dam a Silkwood. Mr. Tuffree came into possession of the mare when a filly and raised her upon his ranch at Placentia. The animal has been ridden in parades here and elsewhere and always has been admired, being jet black, of good proportions, and having the action of her illustrious sire, a famous horse owned in Los Angeles. Mr. Tuffree prizes the animal highly and besides himself will not give her in the keeping of anyone else, excepting Marcus Andrade, of this city, a well known horseman, who now has the mare in his stables here. It is probable Marcus will be seen upon the streets here at times in the capacity of mounted police, using the mare as his mount. Mr. Tuffree owns an extensive orange orchard in Placentia, being one of the pioneer residents of that section. A lion in business is often a bear at home.

Ernest Borchert, well known orange grower, on the Garden Grove road, has been in consultation with the Standard Oil company, according to authentic report, relative to boring for oil on his tract of land. Other land owners in that section, it is said, have signified their willingness to lease their land, and in all probability 1000 acres can be secured. People residing in the west section feel assured oil is there, as according to the Union Pacific will come to Santa Ana," Smith declared, "but further than this I am unable to go. However, the extension probably will be made by January 1. The Union Pacific general manager said freight stations and warehouses, necessary in the efficient handling of perishable fruits, would be erected in Fullerton and Anaheim in the near future. Smith said he was not at liberty to disclose the estimated building costs in those cities. SEEK THIRD DEPARTMENT OF SUPERIOR COURT Bill to Give Orange County Another Judge Now Pending A bill is before the legislature, the purpose of which is to create a third department of the Orange county superior court. From present indications there is every likelihood of the bill becoming a law. The two departments now are over-crowded, and the county is growing fast. Some of the leading citizens of Anaheim have come out with the avowed intention of securing the additional court for this city, providing the law would permit this judicial branch to be located elsewhere than at the county seat. This, it appears, at the present time, to be permissable, since a session of court, in Los Angeles county, was STEADMAN QUITS JOB AS CITY MARSRAL RETIRES TO PRIVATE LIFE AFTER SERVING CITY FOR NEARLY FOURTH OF CENTUY First Appointed to the Position Thirty Years Ago, but Tried Ranching After Nineteen Years' Service—Was Again Appointed Three Years Ago—Bert Moody, Desk Sergeant at Police Headquarters, Elected to the Vacant Position—Has Good Record as an Officer. News Friday morning that City Marshal Steadman had turned in his resignation to the trustees the previous night, was heard with surprise by the people of the city, as few persons were aware that he contemplated such a move.

Other land owners in that section, it is said, have signified their willingness to lease their land, and in all probability 1000 acres can be secured. People residing in the west section feel assured oil is there, as according to the topography of the country, the stratas converge in their direction. This tract of land lies midway between the big fields at Santa Fe Springs and Huntington Beach, while the famous Signal Hill zone is situate to the northwest. Should satisfactory arrangements be made for opening up this new field it presages great things for Anaheim, as there is no doubt oil exists all around this valley and it is only a question of depth to make its production a reality. Years ago Fred Mickle discovered oil in his water well on his place on West Center street, and while he endeavored to exploit his discovery he was handicapped financially to prosecute the work. Several years ago a company had been formed, among its promoters being a well known geologist of Fullerton, for the purpose of drilling for oil on what is termed the Fleischman tract, northwest of this city, it being predicted that oil could be obtained there. But owing to the death of a wealthy member of this new company operations were abandoned, and this field has never been opened up. A persistent rumor has it that a large oil company has secured leases on a number of acres southwest of this city, but nothing will be done. It is said, in the way of development, until sufficient acreage can be secured to insure actual work in that section. Many people believe great oil stratas exist throughout this western section, awaiting the coming of capitalists to develop it. Some interesting news may be available along this line in the near future and the Gazette will give it to the public as soon as possible. UNION PACIFIC ROAD SOON READY FOR BUSINESS Expect to Run Trains to this City April 1st News Friday morning that City Marshal Steadman had turned in his resignation to the trustees the previous night, was heard with surprise by the people of the city, as few persons were aware that he contemplated such a move. The resignation was regretfully accepted by the trustees, and Desk Sergeant Bert Moody appointed to fill the vacancy. Mr. Steadman is to retire Saturday night, the last day of the month. The fact that Mr. Steadman has served as marshal of Anaheim almost a quarter of a century is sufficient proof that he was fitted for the job and made an efficient officer. He came to Anaheim 31 years ago from Oregon, where he had seen service as a police officer. He was appointed city marshal shortly after his arrival here, and held the job uninterruptedly for 19 years. During nearly all that time he constituted the entire police force of the city. It was a man's job in the earlier days when Anaheim was not the model city it is now, but Steadman was equal to all demands made upon him, and performed his duties creeditably and satisfactorily. After nearly twenty years of service he retired from the work and tried ranching in Victor valley for a number of years, but finally returned to Anaheim. In June, 1919, he was again appointed city marshal, and although he found the job a bigger one this time, having a police force of several men under him, he again demonstrated his fitness for the office. He has been in poor health for some time, and decided to give up the responsibilities of public office and retire to private life. His retirement is regretted by the people, and especially by the force of deputies working under him. Bert Moody, the man who succeeds Steadman, has been on the force nearly three years, and some weeks ago he was appointed desk sergeant. He came here from Santa Ana to take the job, but had previously served in the secret service department of the San Diego police station. Before going to San Diego Bert had served as a patrolman at Vernon, Los Angeles' wild and woolly suburb, and one of his duties was to maintain peace and enforce obedience to law and order at Jack Doyle's famous sporting house. It was a man's job, but Moody made an excellent record as an officer.

UNION PACIFIC ROAD SOON READY FOR BUSINESS Expect to Run Trains to this City April 1st Coincident with the opening of the Valencia shipping season, the latter part of April, freight trains of the Union Pacific Railroad company's lines, recently completed and now tapping the rich centers of Anaheim and Fullerton, will be in operation, according to a statement made in Los Angeles by Carl Smith, assistant general manager of the company. Plans, concerning the proposed Santa Ana extension of the company's lines are still in abeyance, Smith added. "We hope," said Smith, discussing the project, "to be able to operate our first Anaheim Fullerton freight trains in the immediate future, or as soon as the contractors turn the lines over to us in good condition." "In fact, unless present plans miscarry, we should be in a position to handle freight over the new lines in and near those cities within the next few weeks. It is our aim to run at least one train by April 1. By the latter part of that month service should be pretty regular, as far as freight is concerned." Smith, in commenting upon the company's plans, declined to hazard a guess as to just when the freight extensions to Santa Ana would be made. He declared, however, that the company had not abandoned its intention of bringing its lines into the county seat. "I think it can safely be said the Finch, at the present time a member of the grammar school board, for a place on the high school board. Finch was unanimously endorsed. The meeting was attended by delegations from surrounding towns whose spokesman pledged support to Finch. L. B. Stewart, president of the high school board, attended but made no defense of the administration of the school affairs or denial of the charges made by different speakers. Plummer did not attend. Plummer was called "demagogic" and "autocratic." Thomas L. McFadden, of Placentia, lawyer, speaking for a delegation from that district, declared that Finch's candidacy came in the nick of time to prevent a split in the union high school district and the formation of at least one ne wdistrict. "There is already a move on foot for the creation of another district, he said. 'The patience of the people of Placentia has reached the breaking point. They realize full well the extravagance of the present board and the fact that the institution, of which they are so proud, is rapidly becoming a one-man school. It is time for a change.'" Mayor William Coulter seconded the remarks of the Placentia speaker, adding: "They seem to forget that they are servants of the public and as such are responsible to the public for their actions." "The enormous expense of conducting the district and the star chamber proceedings, to which the public is not admitted, has caused suspicion to reach the breaking point and there is danger of dissolution." It is perfectly proper to say that some men "belong" to their lodges. They certainly don't belong to their homes. The U. S. Cast Iron Pipe company was awarded the contract for furnishing the city with nearly ten thousand feet of water mains after the bids had been read by City Clerk Merritt at Thursday night's meeting. The bids of this company was as follows: For nearly 2000 feet of 4 inch pipe in 12ft. lengths, $62.74 a ton; for 4700 feet of 6 inch pipe in 5 meter lengths, $39.74 a ton; for 1640 feet of 10-inch pipe in 5 meter lengths, $58.74 a ton. The pipe will be used largely in extending mains to the numerous sub-divisions recently opened. Polson & Welch got the contract for doing the cement work on the lily pond and reflection pool at the city park. This firm's bid was 16 cents a square foot for putting a cement floor in the lily pond, and 18 cents a square foot for cement floor in the reflection pool. Bids for lighting and heating the city hall were opened, but contracts were not let as the board desired to take them under consideration.

It was a man's job, but Moody made an excellent record as an officer. During his three year's service here he has proven himself an efficient and fearless officer. People who know him best are convinced that Steadman's mantle has fallen on capable shoulders. Moody announces that Steadman's policy will be continued and there will be no changes in the force.

Crumrine, President of A. C. OF C., Has a Plan Intimating a belief that Orange county should vote another issue of bonds, and for $1,000,000, to complete the Orange county harbor, C. L. Crumrine, president of the Associated Chambers of Commerce, and manager of the La Habra Citrus association, has written to Linn L. Shaw, chairman of the Orange county harbor commission, suggesting that before the board is finally dissolved it should have an outline prepared by its engineers showing what could be accomplished with the amount suggested. "I note that in a very short time the harbor board of Orange county will have completed its work, and it occurs to me that before the board goes out of existence, it would be a fine thing for the taxpayers if the board gave them an idea of what an additional one million dollars would accomplish," wrote the president of the associated chambers. Declaring that it is well known that he is a harbor booster, he continued: NEW PAVED ROAD TO FULLERTON PROPOSED PLAN TO RELIEVE CONGESTION ON PRESENT HIGHWAY AND STREETS Movement in Fullerton to Open Paved Thoroughfare From East Commonwealth Avenue, Fullerton, to North Philadelphia Street, Anaheim—New Road Would Pass East of Sugar Factory—Would Be Convenient for People of Placentia and Olinda. A well known resident of Fullerton informed a number of his friends here the other day that a well defined movement is on foot there to open up a paved highway, leading from East Commonwealth avenue and connecting with North Philadelphia street in this city. The primary object upon the part of the progressive citizens of our neighboring city is to create a new artery of traffic to avoid the congestion on Syadra road.

Declaring that it is well known that he is a harbor booster, he continued: "It would seem to me that the harbor board would be better qualified to give the taxpayers this information than anyone else whom the county might secure." Shaw declared that the suggestion of Crumrine was a good one and that the commission would at once direct its engineers, Messrs. Leeds and Barnard, to furnish data upon this point to be submitted with the final report that the commission probably will make in a very short time. "The advantage of such a course, which Crumrine undoubtedly has in mind, would be to put Newport harbor in condition to receive all classes of ocean traffic probably two years earlier than could be expected by waiting for a government appropriation," said Shaw. "Federal aid certainly would follow, and moneys appropriated could be used in further development of the inner harbor, for the $1,000,000 would construct the east jetty and deepen the present channel." Shaw said that if the people of Orange county would vote an additional million dollars, the east jetty could be built and the present channel widened and dredged to a depth of twenty-five to thirty feet at low water. The channel at present is fourteen feet deep at low tidal Shaw said. Commodious docks and warehouses also could be construed on county property, the commission chairman pointed out. ANAHEIM P. O. JOB REMAINS IN DOUBT Congressman Phil D. Swing said Thursday that he had received no report from the postoffice department showing a list of eligibles for appointment as postmaster at Anaheim. The term of Fred Ahlborn, Democrat, ended last September. An investigation of nine applicants for appointment was made in October, and since then no statement has come from the civil service commission. A well known resident of Fullerton informed a number of his friends here the other day that a well defined movement is on foot there to open up a paved highway, leading from East Commonwealth avenue and connecting with North Philadelphia street in this city. The primary object upon the part of the progressive citizens of our neighboring city is to create a new artery of traffic to avoid the congestion on Spadra road. At present the stoppage of traffic on that thoroughfare by the Santa Fe blocking the road at their crossing for the passage of freight and passenger trains increases the motor vehicle congestion at that point. With the advent of the Union Pacific railway, this congestion will be greatly aggravated, to say the least. By this new outlet for traffic south this accumulation of automobiles will be lessened. North Philadelphia street offers a convenient passageway for the elimination of this trouble. At this time all the travel north from Anaheim converges onto Spadra road, and causes a difficult problem for the people of Fullerton. It is said the Fullerton men who have given this new venture serious thought are planning to pave the new roadway all the way to a connection of North Philadelphia street, which would intersect with the paved road just east of the sugar factory. The widening and paving of Palm street, as now advocated, would serve to further congest the traffic now entering Fullerton from the south. The enterprising citizens of that city now realize that something must be done at once to offer them relief along this line. The opening up of this new highway, while going a long way to give an easier outgo of the rapid increase of automobile journeying southward, would also open a very desirable section north of this city. This thoroughfare naturally would afford a convenient highway for traffic from Placentia, Olinda and other points northeast. The handling of motor cars upon the highways is growing more intricate every day and it is believed that this new project will have a tendency to give the public much reason for rejoicing as a means of solving the vexing problem of keeping the roadways clear, comparatively speaking, and going a long way to insure safety to the public. Congressman Phil D. Swing said Thursday that he had received no report from the postoffice department showing a list of eligibles for appointment as postmaster at Anaheim. The term of Fred Ahlborn, Democrat, ended last September. An investigation of nine applicants for appointment was made in October, and since then no statement has come from the civil service commission. Recently, business institutions sent several telegrams urging the civil service authorities to make a report of the eligibles. Swig said that the civil service commission will report to the postoffice department a list of three names and the postoffice department may name one of the three as postmaster. The chances of six of the applicants will go a glimmer when the eligible list is reported. "Just as soon as the eligible list is reported," said Swig, "one of the three will be appointed acting postmaster. An appointment as postmaster for a regular four-year term cannot be confirmed until congress meets again, which probably will not be until December. It is advisable that the acting postmaster be the one in line for the permanent position." The supreme court has handed down a decision in the Alameda test case relative to the appointment of deputy county officials, and the increase in salaries of deputies during their tenure of office. The provision that no county official can increase his force during his term of office is upheld, but the previous court decision that no deputy could be granted an increase of pay during his term was reversed. A frozen or more persons in this county are effected by the decision, and they will now draw pay according to the new schedule. Seven hundred persons attended the "Fun Night" entertainment given by the community service at the Elks club house Saturday night, and either participated in the entertainment, or were pleasantly entertained by those who did. The visitors were welcomed in a speech by J. F. Ahlborn, president of the community service. The high school band and choral society furnished the greater part of the music. One of the most exciting stunts on the program was the series of contests between the Rotarians, Kiwanis, Lions, Elks, Knights of Columbus and American Legion. They contested in the hammer throw, the 30 inch dash, the pole vault, the broad grin and the wide stretch. The judges were Misses Gladys Campbell, Elizabeth Renshaw, E. E. Jamison, Mrs. Amy Rust, Misses Mary and Ruth White. When the points were added up it was found that the Legion boys had won first honors and the Rotarians second. The crowd was so large that the grand parade had to be abandoned. The Camp Fire Girls were busy throughout the evening serving innocents drinks to the crowd, and the Boy Scouts acted as ushers. To tame a wild driver, hit him in the head with a brick.
