VOLUME LII CONTEST FOR P.O. WILL SOON BE SETTLED COUNTY CENTRAL COMMITTEE MAY PICK THE MAN TODAY The Choice Lays Between Taggart, Whitaker and La Mont—Judge J. S. Howard, D. Jessurun and E. C. Dutton, Committeemen From This City, Must Make the Selection, it is Said—Friends of Candidates on the Anxious Seat. There is every probability that a new postmaster for this city will be recommended by the Republican county central committee today. This recommendation will be forwarded to the president and the appointment automatically will then be officially announced. The names of J. Paul Taggart, Harry Whitaker and Vic La Mont have been sent to the committee, as the three aspirants seeking the appointment, by the civil service commission, who had been selected as Stern points out that the show is best the people want jazz and that they are going to have it. He believes that no modern show could be complete without a walling saxaphone and a pair of kettle drums. As a result of their individual contentions Anaheim people may be called upon to cast their preference in the ballot box. This method has been suggested as a means for settling the question. In the meantime, Fraser, as manager, announces that classical music will be played while Stern, as chairman of the executive committee, bids a welcome to the younger generation and holds out as an inducement plenty of jazz music. Speaking of the exhibits, Mr. Fraser said: "We are assured in our citrus feature exhibit department, exhibits worked out in oranges, lemons and other products of artistic designs, from the Southern California Realty Board; the following chambers of commerce; Pomona, Orange, Pasadena, La Habra, Santa Ana, Escondido, the Merchants' and Manufacturers 'association of Anaheim; the Bastanchury rancho, the largest citrus grove in the world, 2200 acres, has agreed to feature some of its choicest fruit in our arena. The Elephant Orchard's association of Redlands, Anaheim Orange & Lemon association, and the Anaheim Citrus Fruit association will also..." There is every probability that a new postmaster for this city will be recommended by the Republican county central committee today. This recommendation will be forwarded to the president and the appointment automatically will then be officially announced. The names of J. Paul Taggart, Harry Whitaker and Vic La Mont have been sent to the committee, as the three aspirants seeking the appointment, by the civil service commission, who had been selected as the three highest of the eight gentlemen who had taken the examination for the position. It is persistently rumored that Mr. Whitaker has a strong backing within the ranks of the committeemen, although Taggart and La Mont also have friends who are looking after their interests. It has been said that the appointment will be made at a date not later than May 15th, next. An appointment for the position was expected as long ago as September of last year, but there has been a delay for some reason or another. Capt. J. F. Ahlborn has held the position for a number of years, having received the appointment under a Democratic administration. Mr. Ahlborn has conducted the affairs of the office creditably, and has seen the department grow from a small town office to one of a first class standard. Capt. Ahlborn has given a good account of his stewardship, and has made a record for himself of which he and his many friends feel justly proud. Appointment of a postmaster will be made in accordance with the recommendation of Congressman Swing, but it is understood that the Republican county central committee will make the choice. In certifying the names of the three candidates eligible by reason of their civil service examination, Mr. Swing wrote as follows to Earl Abbey, secretary of the central committee: El Centro, April 11, 1923. Mr. E. R. Abbey, Secretary, Republican County Central Committee Santa Ana, California. My dear Mr. Abbey: I have just received notification from Wasihngton that the civil service commission has completed the examination for Anaheim postoffice, and has issued the following list of eligibles: 1. J. Paul Taggart. 2. James H. Whittaker. 3. Victor W. LaMont. from the Southern California Realty Board, the following chambers of commerce; Pomona, Orange, Pasadena, La Habra, Santa Ana, Escondido, the Merchants' and Manufacturers' association of Anaheim; the Bastanchury ranch, the largest citrus grove in the world, 2200 acres, has agreed to feature some of its choicest fruit in our arena. The Elephant Orchard's association of Redlands, Anaheim Orange & Lemon association, and the Anaheim Citrus Fruit association will also appear with costly and fascinating features upon which they will start May 5, when the giant tent will be raised and ready for occupation. "There are fourteen feature spaces in our citrus department as set forth in the map attached and you will note those taken are designated by an X. The others mentioned have not yet chosen their space. "Along the racks the American Fruit Growers', Inc., will take 80 feet and in all probability will extend their enterprise to a few spaces cornering on the rack space thus used. Villa Park Orange association of Orange county have asked for 40 feet along the wall. The Anaheim Orange & Lemon association will have 80 feet and the Mutual Orange Distributors, one of the largest independent orange exchanges, has engaged 100 feet to the right of the entrance. "To date two-thirds of the citrus department is engaged with prospects of an overflow exposition. "Decorations are well under way in the atelier of P. G. Allen, 1445 Sunset boulevard, Los Angeles, and the electrical engineers are at work on constructing of a giant switchboard which will take 'juice' from the Edison company's power line direct. Fluid required to run the California Valencia Orange show is greater than that used by the consumers of the Anaheim district." BURGLARS MAKE GOOD IN SUNDAY RAIDS Herbert Messerschmidt Among the Victims of Thieves. Striking after an absence of several weeks, and baffling police in their thoroughness and care, the "wholesale burglars," whose depredations have cost Orange county merchants thousands of dollars, Sunday night entered the taller shop of Philip Lutz, 217 West Fourth street, Santa Ana, and removed 38 pieces of wool cloth.

Abbey, Secretary, Republican County Central Committee Santa Ana, California. My dear Mr. Abbey: I have just received notification from Washington that the civil service commission has completed the examination for Anaheim postoffice, and has issued the following list of eligibles: 1. J. Paul Taggart. 2. James H. Whittaker. 3. Victor W. LaMont. I will be glad if you would call this to the early attention of the Republican county central committee, and have them express their opinion on the matter. I have agreed with them not to make any recommendation until they can first have an opportunity to advise me as to their opinion regarding who ought to be appointed. I will be very glad to await a reply from you. Yours very truly, PHIL D. SWING. WILL IT BE CLASSICAL OR WILL IT BE JAZZ? Lack of Harmony in Orange Show Music Circles A violent dispute is raging between heads of the orange show relative to the kind of music to be engaged for the show. Malcolm A. Fraser, manager of the show, is heading the contingent that desires classical music. He wants an orchestra that can render classical airs in keeping with the Egyptian decorations. He has plenty support in his contion. Herman E. B., chairman of the executive committee of the show, is holding out for jazz and plenty of it.ing presented in an Age of Jazz, that AHEIM GAZETY Anaheim, California, Thursday, April 19, 1923 CALIOWA OIL CO. BRINGS IN A GOOD WELL LOCAL INVESTORS ELATED OVER THE LATEST NEWS FROM THE FIELD Well New Flowing 1800 Barrels Per Day, But is Expected to Increase to 5000 Barrels—Wells on Adjoining Leases Yielding More Than 5000 Barrels—Company Has 13-Acre Lease, and More Wells Will Be Immediately Sunk. Stockholders in the Caliowa Oil company received good news a few days ago when it was reported that an 1800-barrel a day well, under 250 pounds pressure, was brought in on their holdings at Huntington Beach. A number of local men have stock in this company which is being conducted along sane and safe business lines. The company leased 13 acres of land in the oil zone and negotiated with an oil drilling concern for half the output. The well just opened up came the project, as it is looked on as a logical way of solving the community's sewage problems of today and of the future. Steward said that under the state law there must first be an organization, then that organization must vote its bonds, then contract can be signed with the parties to the project. Steward said that the other cities preferred to deal with a municipality. The two kinds of organization that are open to Garden Grove in this connection are the municipality and the sanitary district. Deputy District Attorney D. G. Wettlin was present and thoroughly explained the steps that are necessary to form a sanitary district. There must be a petition to the board of supervisors, a hearing and an election. At the election the question of yes or no on the district is put up, and at the same time five trustees and an assessor for the district are elected. COUNTY'S BIGGEST STILL CAPTURED BY OFFICERS Was Source of Supply for Many Active Bootleggers Due to a clue unwittingly supplied by a real "booze hound," a moonshine still, which authorities said, has been supplying Orange county bootleggers and which was declared to be the BIDS FOR BONDS REJECTED BY TRUSTEES VERBAL OFFER FOR SEWER BOND ISSUE COULD NOT BE CONSIDERED Two Representatives of Buyers Arrived Too Late to Submit Proposals—Resolution Ordering $100,000 Worth of Paving Adopted—Protest From West Street Not Considered—City Government to Be Transferred to New City Hall June 1. Owing to the fact that two representatives of bond buying firms were a few minutes late and reached the city hall after the clock struck eight Thursday night, only one bid was received for the $160,000 sewer bond issue. This was submitted by Wm. R. Staats Co., the premium offered being $2016. One of the men who had arrived three minutes too late to file his bid with City Clerk Merritt made a verbal offer, raising the Stats com... Stockholders in the Callowa Oil company received good news a few days ago when it was reported that an 1800-barrel a day well, under 250 pounds pressure, was brought in on their holdings at Huntington Beach. A number of local men have stock in this company which is being conducted along sane and safe business lines. The company leased 13 acres of land in the oil zone and negotiated with an oil drilling concern for half the output. The well just opened up came in some weeks ago, producing about 100 barrels. The well was swabbed out and the increased flow of oil was the result. It is expected that a 5000 barrel output will be developed, as a well on the adjacent land is producing 5300 barrels, while another nearby comes very near that capacity. This new well is down 5150 feet, which it is said is the deepest in the state—in fact, it is reported to be of greater depth than any in the world. It is the purpose of the company to sink another well just as soon as the new one gets well under way along the production line. A sixth royalty goes to the land owner, while the stockholders divide their profits with the drillers. As soon as the company assumes a safe basis of operation the treasury stock, now being held in escrow by the state commission, will be liberated and passed out to the respective shareholders. The local men feel elated over their good luck, and their wise judgment in putting their money into this profitable venture is to be commended. The remainder of the lease will be developed as soon as conditions will permit, and as the holdings are located within one of the best oil zones in the south, the towns-people holding stock have good cause for elation for their investment. Rumor persists that oil development will be exploited in the area west of Anaheim, and it would not be surprising to hear of something definite being done along that line in the near future. The Callowa product of oil is classed as 28 per cent gravity and the latest quotation was 80 cents. Should the company's well come up to expectations the stockholders are big winners. LOOKING AFTER THE BOYS H. H. Hale has deeded his 91-acre ranch at Turlock to his two sons, Ray and Roy, dividing the property equally between them. The ranch is set to be elected. COUNTY'S BIGGEST STILL CAPTURED BY OFFICERS Was Source of Supply for Many Active Bootleggers Due to a clue unwittingly supplied by a real "booze hound," a moonshine still, which authorities said, has been supplying Orange county bootleggers and which was declared to be the largest in southern California, is no more. As a result of a raid conducted by Investigator O. K. Carr, Deputy Sheriff G. E. McClellan and Motorcycle Officer H. S. Warner; Carl Smith, Whitson Smith, Gale Smith and Paul F. Duke were held in the county jail facing charges of manufacturing liquor. The still, which virtually filled a room in a house at an abandoned gun club, southwest of Smeltzer, had a capacity of 100 gallons a day, officers declared. Built on a brick base, with a gigantic distillate burner, the outfit stood ten feet high. The plant was said to have been the source of supply for A. R. Lee, Tennesseean, who was arrested at his home at Smeltzer, and it was through his arrest that the big manufacturing plan was finally discovered. In addition to the still, 50 gallons of liquor, 500 gallons of grain mash, in barrels about the place, was confiscated. A second still, as large as the first, but not in operation, was also self-sold. Acting on a tip that a red do gwas owned by the alleged distillers, officers located the place by means of this animal, which they promptly dubbed the "booze hound." "Boozey," as he came to be known, had faith in the moonshining abilities of his former masters, officers declared. In fact, before the evening was done, what with licking up puddles of spilled corn whiskey, and lapping out the insides of mash containers, he was "about three sheets to the wind," a deputy remarked. Breaking into the house, the raiders found three of the four men arrested at work operating the still, they said. The burner under the still was shut off, but before it cooled, nearly a gallon of the liquor was distilled. The men were arrested and taken to the Orange county jail, and Sheriff Sam Jernigan, Constables Jesse Elliott and Joseph Ryan and Motorcycle Officer L. J. Heffner returned to begin the work of dismantling the oweing to the fact that two representatives of bond buying firms were a few minutes late and reached the city hall after the clock struck eight Thursday night, only one bid was received for the $160,000 sewer bond issue. This was submitted by Wm. R. Staats Co., the premium offered being $2016. One of the men who had arrived three minutes too late to file his bid with City Clerk Merritt made a verbal offer, raising the Staats company a thousand dollars, but the trustees were unable to accept such a bid under the official call for proposals. The lone bid was rejected, however, and the clerk instructed to re-advertise for bids, to be opened on May 10. Six bids for city hall furniture were submitted, two of them from Anaheim firms. They were referred to the building committee. Chief of Police Moody turned in a list of appointments for members of the police force. All the old force are on the list with the exception of Frank Fox, who resigned. The eight appointments by Moody were all confirmed. They are: Marcus Andrade, O. B. Baxter, L. B. Stump, Leonard Whalen, Louis Vocali, Earl Nichols, Albert McCoy and Victor Hammond. A resolution was passed ordering paving of Lemon street from North street to the city limits, North street from Los Angeles to Lemon, and a certain portion of West street, the total cost of the work being approximately $100,000. A protest against the West street paving was received, but as it was presented after the time allowed for protests, it could not be considered. Besides it represented only about one-third of the frontage. All business firms or other persons required to pay a license tax must hereafter go to the city hall and pay their dues, just as the light and water customers are compelled to do. Heretofore collections have been made by the city marshal or a deputy who made the rounds to all persons subject to the tax, and it was expanding into considerable of a job. The marshal or deputy will keep open office at the city hall hereafter where the taxpayer can find him. An ordinance was introduced giving official notice of the removal of the government to the new city hall on June 1. The second meeting in May will be the last time the trustees will meet in the present quarters.

Should the company's well come up to expectations the stockholders are big winners. LOOKING AFTER THE BOYS H. H. Hale has deeded his 91-acre ranch at Turlock to his two sons, Ray and Roy, dividing the property equally between them. The ranch is set to table grapes and figs, and is a valuable piece of property. Ray is now on the ranch, giving his personal attention to a number of improvements. Mr. Hale retails his fine Placentia orange orchard. He is president of the Anaheim Union Water company, member of the reforestation committee, takes part in the spreading of water up the river and for all of these activities, which take up a large measure of his time, receives a salary of $5 a month, and he boards himself. He feels that if his Valencia crop brings the usual high prices he will be able to get by, and he is giving his two boys a very fine start in life. MANAGER STEWARD TALKS TO GARDEN GROVE FOLKS Tells Them What They Must Do to Get in Sewer Project The necessity of perfecting some kind of an organization if Garden Grove is to come into joint use of the great outfall sewer that is being constructed for use by Santa Ana, Orange, Anaheim and Fullerton was pointed out at a meeting of the Garden Grove Chamber of Commerce by City Manager Steward of Anaheim. There is no doubt but there is a strong sentiment in favor of joining Breaking into the house, the raiders found three of the four men arrested at work operating the still, they said. The burner under the still was shut off, but before it cooled, nearly a gallon of the liquor was distilled. The men were arrested and taken to the Orange county jail, and Sheriff Sam Jernigan, Constables Jesse Elliott and Joseph Ryan and Motorcycle Officer L. J. Heffner returned to begin the work of dismantling the plant. So large was the still that it was necessary to tear it down before it could be loaded into a truck, to be hauled back to the sheriff's office. In a barn, adjoining the "distillery," was found more than two tons of grain, presumably a supply from which mash was to be made. The plant was carefully constructed from galvanized iron and copper, with a copper coil, probably 15 feet long and two inches in diameter. Which ran through a condensing tank in which running cold water was contained. No retail business was done at the plant, officers declared, but liquor was sold in 10 gallon kegs at $15 a gallon to bottleggers for distribution throughout Orange county, they believed. It was thought that the place raided was the source of supply for Seal Beach, Anaheim, Santa Ana, Huntington Beach and ether towns in the county. The liquor was high grade whiskey, from corn, barley and rice, and tested 116 proof, according to the officers.

NEW CIVIC BODY FORMED IN COUNTY Harbor Chamber of Commerce is a New Organization With an initial membership of several hundred Orange county business men and a treasury of over $1000, the Orange County Harbor Chamber of Commerce came into being at Newport Wednesday night at a meeting held in a local theatre building. Old residents in Newport said that a more enthusiastic meeting more promising of fruitful results for the county's harbor had never been held. One of the speakers was Malcolm A. Fraser, secretary of the Anaheim Chamber of Commerce, who declared that, with the completion of the great government Boulder dam project with the resultant cultivation of thousands of new acres, the stream of commerce would begin to flow more and more through Newport harbor as well as through San Diego and San Pedro. He thought that the Orange county port had a duty to perform in letting this produce get to the world by means of the shortest possible route. The first membership in the new chamber, said to be the only harbor chamber in the United States, was auctioned off to the First National Bank of Newport at $250.

Schnitker, of Newport, outlined the proposal of the city to pay the salary of a secretary to function in offices in that city. The proposal was approved in general. Before the next meeting a ballot with names of candidates for the board of directors, together with an application for membership will be sent to each registered voter in Newport Beach, Costa Mesa and Balboa, and after the election the next meeting will be called. Dr. C. G. Houston, of Costa Mesa, acted as temporary chairman. It is expected that he will be one of the directors elected, as he has been an active booster for the harbor project. It was impressed upon those attending the meeting that to attract the serious attention of congress in the way of bigger appropriations for this harbor that shipping must actually begin to move in and out of this port. Co-operation from all Orange county towns was promised and it was the consensus of opinion that the movement started was one which would spell a greater success for the establishment of Newport harbor as a world shipping point. HEAVY JUDGMENT PROPHET OF EVIL HIT HARD BY LATE RAIN THE PRECIPITATION HERE LAST WEEK PUT EVERYBODY IN GOOD HUMOR Showers Come at a Season When They Will Do the Most Good—All Vegetation Livened By the Generous Downpour—Still Considerably Short of a Normal Rainfall, But the Best Prophets Predict Several Inches More Before the Season is Over. A few weeks ago the pessimist was croaking about the dire things that were going to happen because of the lack of rain, but the precipitation that recently came to kiss the earth has caused the gloomy one to seek cover. The rainfall peculiarly varied as quantity in certain sections, and while some places report a fraction of an inch, other localities boast of one to two inches of moisture. This rainfall at this time of year is doing a HEAVY JUDGMENT AGAINST LAND SWINDLER Man Who Traded Worthless Land for Orange Grove Must Pay Difference Damages to the amount of $26,500 was awarded William and Etta Duncan against H. R. Painter, who misrepresented Minnesota land in a recent deal, and R. O. Wills, real estate man, through whom the deal was made. After 50 minutes of deliberation, the jury returned with a unanimous verdict in what was said to have been one of the most important and sensational civil suits in court here. Damages of $18,000, said to have been the Duncan's loss in the transaction, which involved the exchange of Tustin land for 120 acres in Lyon county, Minn., most of which was alleged to have been under water, and $7500 exemplary damages, and $1000 damage total against R. O. Wells, Santa Ana realtor, who received a commission on the sale—that was the substance of the verdict. When the jury first returned from deliberation, they announced a desire to return a verdict for the $18,000, and for the $7500, and to recommend that Wells refund the commission. Informed by the court that they could not make that recommendation, they retired and retreated a moment later with a verdict against Wells. The case went to the jury at 5:30 p.m. Friday, after a spirited trial which started last Wednesday. At 6:10 p.m. the final verdict was returned. Upon hearing the verdict, Mrs. H. R. Painter, wife of the defendant, collapsed, and a physician was called to attend her. In his closing argument, Attorney Allen scathingly arraigned the defendant, claiming that he had made a practive of exchanging worthless land for valuable California property. He said that upon information which he had received, he believed that Painter still owned much land in Montana, A few weeks ago the pessimist was croaking about the dire things that were going to happen because of the lack of rain, but the precipitation that recently came to kiss the earth has caused the gloomy one to seek cover. The rainfall peculiarly varied as quantity in certain sections, and while some places report a fraction of an inch, other localities boast of one to two inches of moisture. This rainfall at this time of year is doing a vast amount of good to growing crops, and comes opportunely for the sugar beet men. The total is not as wide as a barn door nor deep as a well, but is sufficient to cause the croaker to cease looking on the dark side of everything. And the rain has given the pests that usually infest some orchards the times of their lives and put them out of business by washing them off their perch. But this section relies principally upon irrigation for orchard crops and as the water in the river holds up good, there is no cause for alarm along that score. And the rainy season is a long way from being over for this season as the remainder of this month may be expected to swell the total an inch or more, while May in all probability will give a good account of herself. The average rainfall here is about 15 inches, and while the peak has not been reached so far, an inch, or even a half, at this time is more beneficial than three times that amount early in the season. Again, the warm sunshine intervening between these light rainfalls puts pep in the vegetation and two blades are seen where only one flourished before. There is every reason to believe that the season will round out all right, even though March fell down on the job and failed to record its usual amount of wetness, while the equinox was evening up the night with the day. One old-timer predicts three or four inches of rain before the season closes, basing his observations upon unusual conditions that have been injected into the climatic program, and feels confident that Jupiter will bring up his seasonal allotment of moisture in a grand finish. Of course, this man's view of the case must not be taken too literally, for it is said the longer a man lives here the less he knows about the weather. Cheer up. Upon hearing the verdict, Mrs. H. R. Painter, wife of the defendant, collated, and a physician was called to attend her. In his closing argument, Attorney Allen scathingly arraigned the defendant, claiming that he had made a practive of exchanging worthless land for valuable California property. He said that upon information which he had received, he believed that Painter still owned much land in Montana, which was virtually worthless, and which he planned to exchange for valuable orchards and orange groves. An effort will be made, Allen stated, to have state realty board officials revoke Painter's license to operate, as a result of the verdict. Painter, according to Duncan's suit, had agreed to exchange orange and walnut property at Tustin for the 120 acres in Minnesota, which, he was said to have represented, was valuable farm land. The transaction was completed, and subsequently Painter disposed of the California land for $36,000, the plaintiffs had alleged. When Duncan made an inspection of the Minnesota land, he found the major portion of it to be under six or seven feet of water, and with the exception of a few acres, worthless for farm purposes. The suit resulted. In a counter suit, Painter had alleged that the Tustin land was not as represented, but when evidence was presented by Allen, and James L. Davis, associate attorney, to show that he had secured expert opinion on the matter, he admitted the facts to be true. Several unusual features made the case noteworthy in Orange county court annals. The fact that a unanimous verdict was returned, in so short a time, even though a large sum of unusual conditions that have been injected into the climatic program, and feels confident that Jupiter will bring up his seasonal allotment of moisture in a grand finish. Of course, this man's view of the case must not be taken too literally; for it is said the longer a man lives here the less he knows about the weather. Cheer up. OIL MEN ARRESTED Indicating that the county's war against oil companies was not at an end, despite criminal and civil actions which have been filed during the past few months, J. L. McBride, county engineer, secured a misdemeanor warrant for the arrest of W. M. French, W. F. Cady and five others, officials in an oil company, on charges of allowing water, oil and sand to cover a highway at Huntington Beach. The complaint charged the defendants with allowing water, oil, sand and gravel to seep on Crystal avenue and Garfiled street, Huntington Beach. Several weeks ago the county brought suit for an injunction against several oil companies, and the court granted a temporary restraining order. Later, a criminal action was brought against officials of another company, and a sentence of 30 days in the county jail was imposed by Justice J. B. Cox and then suspended during good behavior. money was involved, was considered extraordinary. The trial was featured by lively legal tilts between Allen and Davis on one side and Attorney R. A. Newell on the other.
