VOLUME LII SEVERAL PAVING CONTRACTS LET BY BOARD MANY STREETS AND ALLEYS ARE NOW UNDER CONTRACT FOR PAVING E. B. Garretson Gets Forty Thousand Square Feet of Alleys, and the Griffith Company Given Contract for Many Streets—Promoters of Beverly Tract Want Sewers Extended to Them—Bids to Be Asked for Paving Intersections and a Small Strip on Lemon Street. Contracts for the largest paving program ever arranged by the city were let by the trustees Thursday, E. B. Garetson and the Griffith company being the sucessful bidders. Contract for pavink nearly 40,000 square feet of alleys was let to Garretson, his bid being 26 1-2 cents. Specifications for this work call for a six-inch concrete pavement. The Griffith company got the cone upon another edge of the same lava flow is situated Yellowstone national park with its near-volcanic phenomena. "On this same flow, farther north, are the huge volcanic cones, now extinct, of Mount Rainier, Mount Hood and Mount Shasta. The activity responsible for these large peaks and for the extensive flow took place hundreds of thousands, or even millions, of years ago, before the last ice age. The region immediately around Lassen, alone, apparently has preserved a channel with the deep fires. "A few miles north of Lassen is a cinder cone from which probably took place the latest eruption in the United States before 1914. Traditions among the Indians of the neighborhood tell of a time believed to have been 200 or 300 years ago when smoke and cinders belched forth from this peak, darkening the sky for days and scattering ashes over a large area. The age of trees growing in the crater of this cone indicates, by one interpretation, that there also was a slight eruption about eighty years ago, but the America of that day, without telegraph wires and news services, was ignorant of an eruption if one actually took place. Material from one of the eruptions of this vent dammed a small valley, creating a lake in which the standing stumps of drowned trees still are to be found." Contracts for the largest paving program ever arranged by the city were let by the trustees Thursday, E. B. Garetson and the Griffith company being the sucessful bidders. Contract for pavin nearly 40,000 square feet of ellies was let to Garretson, his bid being 26 1-2 cents. Specifications for this work call for a six-inch concrete pavement. The Griffith company got the contract for paving many streets at different figures. Emily and West streets will be paved with five inches of concrete with two-inch top, the cost being 26.4. Several small jobs in the Mills Park tract were awarded to the company, the figure for five-inch concrete being 22 cents, sidewalks at 22 cents, alley crossings at 22 cents, and curbing at 50 cents. The bid for five-inch paving on Walnut, Citron, Helena, Sycomore and Zeyn streets was 20.9 cents. City Attorney Weisel was instructed to prepare a call for bids for paving intersections and a small portion of Lemon street adjacent to the city park. An invitation from Coronado to visit that city on September 10, when a total eclipse of the sun will occur, was filed without action. Coronado is one of the best points from which to view the eclipse, and the enterprising citizens of that town are inviting their neighbors to come and see it. A petition was received from Gilbert Kraemer, through Fritz Horbach asking an extension of the sewer system to the Beverly tract. It was stated that forty residences were building or soon would be built on the tract, and sewers were necessary. The matter was referred to the public improvement committee. V. W. Hainum, superintendent of the power house, was instructed to install a 03-foot flag pole on top of the city hall. A plate containing the names of the present city officials, was ordered to be placed on the foundation of the city hall. An addressograph was ordered for the office of the rate collector, to cost $440. LASSEN CRATER IS MOST ACTIVE IN AMERICA Americans are accustomed to think of Uncle Sam as an owner of volcanoes because of the array of them on the Alaskan peninsula, headed by huge scattering ashes over a large area. The age of trees growing in the crater of this cone indicates, by one interpretation, that there also was a slight eruption about eighty years ago, but the America of that day, without telegraph wires and news services, was ignorant of an eruption if one actually took place. Material from one of the eruptions of this vent dammed a small valley, creating a lake in which the standing stumps of drowned trees still are to be found. "In 1907 when all volcanic vents were believed to be extinct Lassen and Cinder cone were set apart as small national monuments to serve as examples of recent volcanic activity. Since 1914 when it became known that there was present activity in the region an area of 125 square miles around the craters has been made into the Lassen volcanic national park. Automobile roads have been constructed from the nearest railroad station about forty miles away, and hundreds of tourists have visited the region." AUTO'S RAPID STRIDES Twenty-five years ago the first sale of an automobile in the United States was completed. Today the automobile is the second greatest manufacturing industry in the country. Fifty years ago, the automobile was the experiment of a few intrepid inventors. It was classed by the public with fancies of Jules Verne, wonderful but impracticable. The first automobile was built and tried fifty years before the first railroad track was laid. Captain Nicholas Joseph Gugnot is credited with having constructed, in 1769, the first motor-propelled road vehicle that actually ran. Steam was the force. In 1787 Oliver Evans, of Philadelphia, built the first American automobile under patent granted by the state of Maryland. About 1847 Gootleim, Daimler and Carl Benz began their basic experiments in the field of internal combustion, hydro-carbon motors. May 8, 1879, George B. Selden, of Rochester, N. Y., filed an application for a patent covering the use of the gasoline motor. While Carl Benz, of Manheim, Germany, built the first internal combustion motor propelled vehicle, in 1885, it was not until 1893 that the automobile, as it is known today, was launched. The annual report B. Merritt, submitted Thursday night, is in a prosperous ly, and that business partments show a over last year.

"Volcanism, however, is not a faraway thing, after all. The renewal of activity at Mount Lassen, in northern California, early in March, emphasizes the fact that we actually have a live volcano within the boundaries of one of our most populous states. This example of one of nature's most powerful forces is only 200 miles north of San Francisco and 300 miles south of Portland. "When Mount Lassen became active in 1914 it was an epoch-making event, for it was an epoch-making event, within the borders of the United States proper in historic times. Stones and mud were thrown for half a mile from the crater, while ash drifted for fifteen to twenty miles. Previously the region had been a sort of Yellowstone with bolting mud springs emitting sulphurous gasses; and a few agitated springs that approach geysers in activity. "Mount Lassen does not present a case of volcanic appearing inexplicably in a peacock country-side. It is on the edge of the greatest ancient lava-flows in the world—a flow which covers large areas in northern California, Oregon, Washington and Idaho." About 1847 Goetelmil, Daimler and Carl Benz began their basic experiments in the field of internal combustion, hydro-carbon motors. May 8, 1879, George B. Selden, of Rochester, N.Y., filed an application for a patent covering the use of the gasoline motor. While Carl Benz, of Manheim, Germany, built the first internal combustion, motor propelled vehicle, in 1885, it was not until 1893 that the automobile, as it is known today, was launched. Charles E. Duryea and Elwood Haynes are credited with being the first American builders of a car that would run. WHERE'S JACK DAWES? The next comptroller of the currency is to be Henry M. Dawes, brother of Charles G. Dawes, the first director of the budget. Charles was the man who told the scramblers for "pork" that "U.S." did not necessarily mean "us." Another brother was comptroller under McKinley. I fone will look over the bank directory of Chicago, it will be found that there is a flock of Dawes engaged in banking business. Finance seems to run in the family, and the man who knows how to take good care of stockholders' money is well equipped to look after the taxpayers' money or the money deposited by thrifty folks in national banks. The appointment of Henry will create confidence. At least three new mail carriers will be needed to cover the new territory mapped out for free postal delivery. Other routes will be established just as soon as the postal authorities can complete them. Anaheim has the greatest number of miles of rural routes in the county, their combined length exceeding nine miles.

At the meeting of the Republican county central committee in Santa Ana on Monday afternoon, Harry J. Whitaker received the recommendation of that body for the position of postmaster of Anaheim Upon the first ballot four committeemen, icluding Messrs. Howard, Dutton and Jessurun of this city, voted in favor of Vic La Monte The other members, thirty-four members, Increases Receipts for electric The annual report of City Clerk E. B. Merritt, submitted to the trustees Thursday night, shows that the city is in a prosperous condition financially, and that business in the various departments show a remarkable increase over last year. For instance the receipts for electricity were $25,700 greater than the previous year; for water, $10,286.90, and the licenses to business houses, $1723.50. At the beginning of the fiscal year, May 1, 1922, there was in the hands of the treasurer cash to the amount of $187,126.29. During the year there was collected from taxes, light and water rates, licenses, bond sales and other sources, the sum of $556,268.02, making the total available cash, $743,394.31. The expenditures during the year amounted to $442,495.45, leaving a cash balance on hand May 1, of $300,898.86. During the year 749 building permits were issued, the estimated cost of the new structures being $1,814.076.52. The total value of the real estate and other property owned by the city is given as $693,085.66. This is irrespective of the streets and alleys. With property valued at nearly $700,000, and $300,000 in cash in the treasury, the city is in a good condition financially.

We need not be told that San Diego is an ideal convention city; on our part, gaining of the G.A.R. encampment would bring this convention city high honor. The years have passed since the civil war and the military ventures in which the United States have engaged since 1861 have all brought increasing honor to the Grand Army men and an increasing appreciation of the terrific nature of the war they fought. Plagues of disease worse than those that scourged our armies in the tropics in 1888, and bloody slaughter at close quarters comparable only with the fighting in the early days of the world war, marked that struggle. Both the blue and the grey are honored now for the heroism of those past years, and to entertain the great organization representing the blue veterans would be high honor indeed. We must remember too, that in the very nature of things there will not be favor of Whitaker in the Three-Cornered Race. At the meeting of the Republican county central committee in Santa Ana on Monday afternoon, Harry J. Whitaker received the recommendation of that body for the position of postmaster of Anaheim. Upon the first ballot four committeemen, including Messrs. Howard Dutton and Jessurun of this city, voted in favor of Vic La Monte. The other members thirteen in number, voted for Whitaker. J.S.Howard then moved that the recommendation of Whitaker be made unanimous, which was so ordered. It is said that Mr. Whitaker will receive official notification of his appointment from Washington within the next thirty days. Paul Taggart who had been a factor in the postmaster race, a few days ago withdrew, in favor of Whitaker. Mr.Taggart made a personal visit upon each county committeeman, in company with Prof. Abernathy, and announced his withdrawal. It is said the friends of La Monte are displeased at the action of the committee, as a whole, totally ignoring the recommendation of the local members of the committee, in sponsoring La Monte's endorsement. GOOD WILL INCLUDED After consolidating all its lines into 18 major routes, the shipping board has asked bids on all vessels it owns, whether in active service or laid up. There are no bargains to be obtained, and the ships will be retained and operated by the government itself if fair prices are not forthcoming. The offer is not limited to the intrinsic worth of the ships themselves, but includes the value of the routes that have been painstakingly built up by the government. It is a going business that the shipping board has for sale, and it agrees not to enter into competition on any of the routes with a purchaser who will contract to maintain them over a period of years. It is hoped that a substantial part, if not all, of the government merchant fleet may be transferred to private account under the new arrangement.

That, in a nut shell, is the reason why every Democrat may rail and seek to be cloud our domestic contentment with a smoke screen of internationalism, but the people will keep their attention on the welfare of their own homes and cast their ballots accordingly. The council's action was taken at the request of San Diego veterans, members of the local posts of the G.A.R., who are pledged to the effort to bring the national encampment there in 1924. They will do their share in the councils of the Grand Army, and it is our share to back them up—to convey to the G.A.R. in unmistakable terms an earnest effort of hospitality and our honest sense of the responsibilities that an acceptance would put upon us. The San Diego veterans are going to do their share—have already begun upon it—with an enthusiasm and energy that augur well for success. Their wishes in this enterprise should be our law—they should have the cooperation of every organization that holds patriotism in reverence. Let's make the effort a whole-hearted, hospitable and willing effort. Green-eyed jealousy produces the blues. The Democrats say they want to hand Muscle Shoals over to Henry Ford, as that would eliminate him from the presidential possibilities. He could scarcely seek the presidency if he were a party to large contracts with the government. The Democrats are the ones who should look with the greatest apprehension on the Ford specter. If he should run as an independent candidate, his strength would be drawn chiefly from the Democratic ranks. Ford economics and those of Democratic origin are very similar, but vastly different from the fundamentals of Republicanism. Rev. A.G.H.Bode is the leader of a new troop of Boy Scouts. This makes four troops in Anaheim.

"Ammonium sulphate is a by-product of the coke ovens. It is white, crystalline substance, known the world over as the best source of available nitrogen for stimulating plant growth. Ford ammonium sulphate is guaranteed more than 25 per cent ammonia, and 20.8 per cent available nitrogen. (Nitrate of soda, the next best carrier of nitrogen, though better known, contains only 15 to 16 per cent available nitrogen.)" "Nitrogen, the main constituent of ammonia, undoubtedly exerts more influence on the earliness, quality and yield of vegetables than any other plain food element. It may be applied as a soil top dressing, drilled, or broadcasted and harrowed in. The usual amount to apply is 100 pounds per acre under normal conditions. It gives excellent results in fertilization of orchards and groves, as well as being valuable for grain, grass and corn. Ford ammonium sulphate gives particularly effective results with vegeta- ANAHEIMERHOME FROM SOUTH AFRICA RAYMOND NEBELUNG RETURNS TO MANAGE HIS FATHER'S ORANGE GROVE Pretoria Produces a Good Quality of Fruit 400,000 Boxes Shipped Annually to London—Growers Have Red Scale to Contend With—Visitor Saw Orange Trees There Over 100 Years Old, Standing 50 feet High—A Visit to India Convinces Him That the Country is No Place for a White Man.

Valle assistant professor of orchard management of the University of California citrus experiment station at Riverside, says: "From our point of view, there is emple opportunity for the further increase in the use of sulphate of ammonia on citrus orchards. We believe this to be a very desirable form of nitrogen, and we further believe that citrus growers in general should apply more nitrogen than they have in the past. Under our southern California conditions, sulphate of ammonia should always be used in conjunction with some policy that will maintain a high organic content in soil. The use of cover crop or bulky organic manue is used in this connection." The allotment of ammonium sulphate for Orange county will depend on requests made by the ranchers and all those who will want a supply any time during the current year are requested to communicate with George Dunton.

Mr. Nebelung on his retudn will manage his father's ranch property here, looking after the orange grove. Mr. Nebelung spent four teen months in Protoria, South Africa, where he was engaged as an agricultural expert. Oranges are raised there on a large scale, over 400,000 boxes being shipped. Most of the farult is sent to London, where it brings $5.00 per box. The rains here come in the summer, and the winters there are the summers here. Twenty to thirty inches of rain is the average annual precipitation. Orange growers in Pretoria have the red scale to contend with and fumigate to eradicate the pest. At Cape Town Nr. Nebelung saw an orange tree that was 100 years old, it standing 50 feet high. He spent several weeks in India, but says that is no white man's country. Mr. Nebelung came home by way of Honolulu, Manila, Japan and China, landing at San Francisco. He came south by boat to San Pedro, where he was met by his parents. INCOME TAX COLLECTIONS Reflecting steady expansion in retail and wholesale business in southern California, Collector Goodcell gives out figures for April collections of sales taxes and manufacturers' excise taxes which show increases ranging from 20 per cent to 250 per cent over April of last year. Manufacturers' excise tax, that accepted barometer of active business conditions, furnished receipts of $100,693.43, a gain of 31 per cent. Sales of stamps which are used on bonds, stocks, conveyances, etc., were $115,-168.46, an increase of 78 per cent. Estate tax receipts were $254,682.27, a gain of 72 per cent. Manufacturers paid tax on sales of $260,950 worth of auto trucks, a gain of 98 per cent. On tires, inner tubes and automobile accessories, manufacturers met tax on sales of $1,421,740, a gain of 32 per cent. Manufacturers' sales of candy were -507,672, on which tax of $15,384.08 was paid, a gain of 25 per cent. On jewelry retail dealers paid tax SOUND DEBT SETTLEMENT The decision of Great Britain to make interest payments to this country in full this year, instead of exercising the privilege of adding half the interest charge to the principal, indicates that an effort will be made to liquidate the debt as early as possible. The interest rates paid by the British government on its borrowings are dropping all the time, and at no distant day it will be able to borrow money at less rate than is being paid the United States. When that time comes the principal of the American debt can be rapidly reduced. All of which testifies to the soundness of the debt settlement, both from the American and British points of view. A SPECIFIC LIST If you think the Republican congress and the Republican president have not done all that they could have done for the welfare of the country, just sit down with a pencil and paper and make a specific list of the things you would have done if you had been vested with the power. Rome was not built in a day, and everything can't be accomplished in two years. To cope with the rapid advancement of this city, many citizens are of the opinion that two or more fire stations should be maintained as a safeguard against loss by fire. Many residents in the new sub-divisions would like to see larger fire plugs in the outlying sections, as an additional safety first measure. Estate tax receipts were $254,682.27, a gain of 72 per cent. Manufacturers paid tax on sales of $260,950 worth of auto trucks, a gain of 98 per cent. On tires, inner tubes and automobile accessories, manufacturers met tax on sales of $1,421,740, a gain of 32 per cent. Manufacturers' sales of candy were -507,672, on which tax of $15,384.08 was paid, a gain of 25 per cent. On jewelry retail dealers paid tax of $52,515.63 on sales of $1,050,320, a pain of 47 per cent. Receipts from manufacturers' tax on non-alcoholic beverages were $12,423.14, a gain of 86 per cent. Taxes on admission and dues collected by motion picture theatres and other places of amusement were $253,907.40, a gain of 20 per cent. This tax collection indicates that the public spent $3,000,000 on amusements during the month and a tax-paid and non-tax attendance of 13,000,000. From cabarets $7,218.19 was received for admission taxes, an increase of 250 per cent. Capital stock tax collections increased 23 per cent while social and athletic clubs paid $28,708.50 on dues and memberships, a gain of 27 per cent. Receipts from manufacturers' tax on oleomargarine increased 47 per cent, and from distilled spirits 27 per cent. An enterprising citizen is bold enough to say that he believes every street in Anaheim should be paved. He further says that it does not pay to spend money keeping up the dirt roads. Paved streets cost money, but after a property owner once gets them he would not be without them. This man says the cost of a paved street may squeeze the bank roll a bit, but nevertheless it is adding to the valuation of the property, which counts a whole lot is you want to sell.
