Teachers are scattering in all directions, very few of them expecting to remain in town during the three summer months. Commencement at the high school was held in the auditorium Friday night, a class of 96 receiving diplomas and being turned loose to begin the conquering of the world. At least half of them are planning a course in college. The program at commencement was an exceptional one and exceptionally well rendered. Both the salutatorian and the valedictorian were girls, Miss Dorothy Bishop delivering the opening speech, and Miss Margaret McOmie giving the farewell address. Rev. G. Bromley Oxnam, of Los Angeles, was the chief speaker, his subject being "The Graduate in the Capitol of the World." Mr. Oxnam was some days ago overwhelmingly defeated in his race for member of the Los Angeles board of education because of his radical beliefs and utterances. Following is the complete program: March, high school orchestra. America, the Beautiful, Audience. Invocation, Rev. Samuel P. Gott. Piano solo, Polichmelle, Rachmaninoff, Florence Austin.

Roberts, superintendent of attendance in county schools. He declared that the migratory Mexican school child again would form an almost insurmountable problem unless employers would cooperate with the school department. "Mexicans are not becoming fewer in number in Orange county," Roberts said. "They are holding their own. If anything, there is an increase in number. Under state laws their children should be given schooling. It is my duty to endeavor to get those children into the schools long enough, at least, for them to receive the fundamentals of education. "In this effort I am given little aid by the employers, who consciously or otherwise are employing child labor. Many crops in Orange county are harvested by children. "The reason is that the Mexican family will not be separated. The elders will not work in the orchards and fields unless they can take their children with them. The children have an economic value." Plans are being made to hold short-term schools for these children. Many plans have been tried heretofore without much success. The new plan, perhaps may have a better chance. "Whether the state has provided funds for migratory schools this year, I cannot say. The migratory school problem is not confined to this county. It is a state problem. "It is a problem that must be solved if the state is interested in the character of its Mexican population two or three generations hence. "The Mexican and his family follow the crop, and travel extensively in their passing from one crop to another."

The migratory school problem is not confined to this county. It is a state problem. "It is a problem that must be solved if the state is interested in the character of its Mexican population two or three generations hence. "The Mexican and his family follow the crop, and travel extensively in their passing from one crop to another. Some families finally settle in one locality. "We have several large colonies in Orange county such as at Savana and Delhi. The colony at Wintersburg gradually has given way to the inroads of a white population. "We never have been able to secure an accurate census of the Mexican population in the county. It is a shifting population and almost impossible to count. "The same factor applies to judging the number of Mexican children attending county schools. But as to the exact number I don't know. By the time I had covered the county and counted them once,the number would have changed radically before I had a recount. "A new item in recent months has been the importation of Mexican labor by the sugar factories. These imported Mexicans from Texas to thin the best crop this year. "I did not know this until I found the Mexicans in the fields. It seems that the Mexicans here wanted higher wages so a possible strike was broken by importing labor from another state. "The sugar companies did not actually transport the Mexicans here but they made it plain to Texas that there was a job waiting here for Mr. Mexican and his family." J. W.

Thomas Walker and City Manager Steward Make Short Talks—Band Gives Concert. One-third of the people of Anaheim responded to the invitation of the trustees and inspected the new city hall Thursday night. Quite a number of persons from neighboring towns also witnessed the dedication ceremonies. City Electrician V. W. Hannum had arranged spot lights on the roof of the Boston bakery across the street which threw a brilliant light over the city Dealers' association, declared that automobile dealers of the United States in 1922 lost $100,000,000 on used cars by throwing away profits in many ways, principally by overbiddink on a used car accepted as part payment on a new machine. He pointed out that failure among automobile agents had increased from year to year until in 1922 25 per cent of the dealers failed. He asserted that the average dealer last year sustained an average loss of $55 on every new car he sold and that less than 10 per cent of the dealers operated their enterprises at a profit. His statements, he said, were based on a nation-wide survey of the automobile agency business. "Why does the public expect extravagant prices for used cars when offered in exchange for new cars—because the dealers, in their efforts to produce volume for the manufacturers, have allowed more for the used car than its resale value," said Vane. He declared that a used car is not worth ten cents more to the dealer who sells a $4000 car than to an agent who sells a $1000 automobile.

Quite a number of persons from neighboring towns also witnessed the dedication ceremonies. City Electrician V. W. Hannum had arranged spot lights on the roof of the Boston bakery across the street which threw a brilliant light over the city hall. Inside the building was illuminated from basement to roof, all the offices and rooms being open for inspection, with officials at their desks, prepared to answer questions. An abundance of flowers decorated the rooms, some of them having been donated by citizens. A concert by the municipal band furnished entertainment for the hundreds of visitors during a portion of the evening. A short speaking program was given in the council chamber, City Manager O. E. Steward having been nominated by Mayor Stark as master of ceremonies. Richard Melrose, who was the first city clerk of the city, having served more than half a century ago, was scheduled to make an address on Anaheim in its struggling infancy, but was unable to attend on account of sickness, consequently City Attorney H. V. Weisel made the chief speech. Mr. Weisel has lived here thirty-two years, and he made an interesting talk on the sleepy village of his boyhood days, comparing it with the prosperous city of today. Rev. Thomas Walker, of the Presbyterian church, and City Manager Steward also made short addresses. There were several musical selections, with Mrs. M. Eugene Durfee at the piano. The entire audience joined in singing "America." TUBBS NEW HEAD OF AUTOMOBILE ASSOCIATION Used Car Problem is Solved, it is Believed J. W. Tubbs, mayor of Santa Ana and manager of the Reid Motor company, Buick dealer, has another titled position, that of president of the Orange County Motor Dealers' association. He was elected to the position at a meeting of the association held at Anaheim Friday evening, when James E. Appleby tendered his resignation in order that he might devote himself to promotion in other sections of the state of the Orange county Appleby. MAX ROYER FILES PETITION Asks to Be Appointed Administrator of the Estate of the Late Julien O. Royer Max Royer, son of General Julien O. Royer, has filed a petition in the superior court for letters of administration of the estate of his father, who died October 7, 1922, placing the value of the estate at $50,000, considerably less than that claimed by Miss Marie Feraud, housekeeper of the general, who lost the fight over a petition for probate of a will left by General Royer. The petition filed by Attorney Richard Melrose, recites the action of the court in ruling that the will previously offered for probate was obtained by undue influence of Attorney Frank M. Willcox, John W. Willcox, his father, and Marie Feraud, housekeeper. General Royer held 501 shares of stock in the Anaheim Investment company, a corporation, the petition says, and 1439 other shares were held in his name but are claimed by Mrs. Louise Royer, widow. Personal property is listed at $2000. Since Attorneys Mattison B. Jones, W. H. Thomas and Frank M. Willcox have asked for a new trial and expect to take an appeal to a higher court if denied this, considerable fight over the petition for administration is anticipated by Miss Feraud's attorneys. The petition of Max Royer names himself, Marie Louis Amstutz, his sister, and Mrs. Louise Royer, his mother, as heirs to the estate. At the rate figured in the petition the stock is worth about $100 a share. This would make Mrs. Royer's claimed holdings $143,000 and the estate of General Royer $50,100, a total of $194.000. Mr. Melrose, the attorney, is president of the company and has a few shares. A few other shares are held by Max Royer, Walter Amstutz, his brother-in-law, and Marie Feraud. ORANGE COUNTY FAVORS SAMPLE FISH BILL Would Protect Fishermen From the Large Canneries. That fishing interests are taking a more vital part daily in Sample bill have allowed more for the used car than its resale value," said Vane. He declared that a used car is not worth ten cents more to the dealer who sells a $4000 car than to an agent who sells a $1000 automobile. George H. Maxwell, of Phoenix, Arizona, executive director of the National Reclamation association, will speak on invitation of the Chamber of Commerce at the Elks' club house tonight on the Colorado river problem. Mr. Maxwell, who is the founder of the National Reclamation association and is the chief executive officer, has a message that will be particularly interesting and instructive to the residents of Orange county, especially those who look to the possession at a reasonable price. One of the plans which Mr. Maxwell favors contemplates the delivery of the Colorado river water through the Santa Ana canyon gateway. The possibility under this plan, of irrigating the intensely fertile soils of these arid counties, particularly southern Orange county and San Diego county, giving the subject a wide local appeal. Mr. Maxwell requests the presence of all persons who may be interested in this subject, although the meeting is called for the benefit of the membership of the chamber of commerce. It is his desire to get together a group of interested persons who can take his message and build up from it some future plans for the betterment of southern California in general, instead of a plan which will be for the almost exclusive benefit of the metropolitan area in Los Angeles county. In a letter received at this office some days ago Mr. Maxwell discusses the gigantic project at length. In concluding the letter he says: "No plan of such stupendous magnitude as the proposition to irrigate L-500,000 acres of land in the inside basin of southern California with the water from the Colorado river was ever proposed without being received with incredulity and generally with ridicule and scorn, but there is no doubt that if the people of southern California once get into their minds the stupendous possibilities of benefit to the whole United States of America which would result from the carrying out of this plan, that they would organize the forces necessary for its accomplishment. These forces could be made absolutely irresistible when applied to the adoption of the national plan for the utilization of the water of the Colorado river which reaches the country below the canyon of the river." There are many angles from which this Colorado river problem is being studied. It is generally from an angle of some selfish interest rather than J. W. Tubbs, mayor of Santa Ana and manager of the Reid Motor company, Buick dealer, has another titled position, that of president of the Orange County Motor Dealers' association. He was elected to the position at a meeting of the association held at Anaheim Friday evening, when James E. Appleby tendered his resignation in order that he might devote himself to promotion in other sections of the state of the Orange county Appleby plan of handling used cars. In preparation for this step, Appleby has sold a half interest in the Appleby Motor company, county distributors of the Star and Durant cars, with agency quarters at Santa Ana and at Anaheim, to Forest Sullivan and Roy Joyner, two prominent and experienced automobile men of Los Angeles. Appley declared that requests from other sections of the state, as well as in other states, for his services in presenting the used car market plan is such that he cannot continue as president of the local organization. He will, however, continue his residence at Anaheim. Robert Martland, secretary and manager of the California Automobile Trades' association, at a later meeting of representatives of the automobile trades association, also held at Anaheim, declared that the Orange county automobile dealers, by operation of the used car plan developed here, had "licked" the used car problem, a problem that has caused the financial failure of many car dealers. He predicted that within two years the local method would be adopted by dealers throughout the United States. In a forceful address that drove home to his auditors conditions confronting those engaged in the merchandising of automobiles, C. A. Vane, manager of the National Automobile president of the company and has a few shares. A few other shares are held by Max Royer, Walter Amstutz, his brother-in-law, and Marie Feraud. ORANGE COUNTY FAVORS SAMPLE FISH BILL Would Protect Fishermen From the Large Canneries. That fishing interests are taking a more vital part daily in Sample bill No. 161, which has passed the legislature and is before Governor Friend W. Richardson for signature, is indicated by the activity of the Orange county harbor chamber of commerce in going on record as favoring the bill. It has been intimated that large canneries are urging the governor to veto the measure, which has not yet been enacted into law. The chamber passed the following resolution, which was embodied in a telegram to the governor: "We urgently request that you sign Sample bill 161 and by so doing help protect the fishing industry. Barracuda running northerly now, thousands of tons of undersized fish being killed by purse seiners who are daily making promiscuous hauls, sometimes destroying over half of catch in order to obtain large size fish. This can be verified through Niediver, fish and game representative at San Pedro, if he desires to tell the truth and would have assurance that he would not lose his job telling facts. Our organization represents the Newport harbor district and has active membership of 500." Fishermen in this vicinity, where considerable commercial fishing is indulged in, are considerably wrought up over the subject, alleging that the veto of the bill means the destruction of the fishing business on the Pacific coast. There are many singles from which this Colorado river problem is being studied. It is generally from the angle of some selfish interest rather than general welfare. The National Reclamation association approaches the problem solely from the standpoint of the best interests of the United States of America, looking at it from the standpoint of the general welfare of the people of the entire nation. From that point of view the first problem is the physical problem, and the problem of how to develop the water so as to get the highest economic and industrial beneficial results from that development. This necessitates the adoption of certain principles, briefly stated as follows: "The flow of the river shall not be diminished at the north line of Arizona, the value of the power generated by it being of larger benefit to the upper states than the agricultural use of the water." "The water shall be used in the United States of America, and not by Asiatics in Mexican territory." "The whole system for the utilization of the waters of the Colorado river shall be so adjusted that the largest possible volume of power shall be developed and the use of the water for agriculture fitted to this necessity." "The water available for reclamation in Arizona and California shall be equally divided between those states." "The water allocated to southern California shall be used in any part of that state where the best results can PROBLEM CUSSED NIGHT WELL TO SPEAK CHAMBER OF MERCE Auction, and Head of Declamation Association about Disposal of the Water—Says the Brought Through Convention and Irrigate All West Country.

It is better from the standpoint of the general welfare to supplement the water supplies of the Perris valley or Pasadena and the entire coast country of southern California than to use the water to develop a new agricultural region in the Chuckwalla valley, for instance." FOUR PERSONS KILLED IN SUNDAY ACCIDENT Car Struck By Santa Fe Train at El Toro Crossing In a collision between an automobile and a train at El Toro Sunday four persons, who occupied the auto were killed. According to the records in possession of the corner a south-bound Santa Fe train struck a small touring car containing Roy Roumbold and Mrs. Hazel Pomercy and her two small daughters. But that report aside from adding that the four occupants of the car were killed, does not begin to tell the whole story. And there is a world of paths in that story. Roy Roumbold, son of Mrs. Lydia Hemenway, of El Toro, was engaged to be married to Hazel Pomeroy, of 720 East Second street, Santa Ana. The date for the wedding, according ELKS DO HOMAGE TO OLD GLORY TONIGHT ANNUAL FLAG DAY CEREMONIES TO BE HELD AT THE CLUB HOUSE Impressive Exercises in Honor of the 146th Birthday of the Star Spangled Banner—Beautiful Ritualistic Service to Be Given With an Orchestra Rendering Inspiring Music—T.
