HARVEST OF WALNUTS SOON TO COMMENCE Orange County Groves Yielding a Heavy Crop Walnut growers of Orange county are preparing to start next week on the harvest of a crop that promises to be the best in four years, according to announcement by John Gowen, secretary and manager of the Santa Ana Walnut association. At the same time Gowen announced that Santa Ana would continue to hold its reputation as the biggest walnut shipping center in the world, with a shipment of 3786 tons or approximately 500 tons more than for last year. According to estimates by Carlyle Thorpe, general manager of the California Walnut Growers' association, Santa Ana will maintain its lead by at least 385 tons in excess of the next nearest competitor. According to Gowen, some walnuts are dropping low and general harvesting will be well under way by the middle of next week. The directors will establish the price to be paid pickers. According to Gowen, it is probable the rate of 75 cents per barley sack, the ruling last year, will prevail this season. The manager said the labor situation is easy, with many white persons applying for work? Mexican pickers, he said, are less in evidence than in past seasons. With the crow now ready to gather, growers are looking forward to the date when the central organization will discuss prices. It is expected the directors of the central body, at their meeting on September 13, will set a date for discussing prices. Last years' quotations on budded nuts was 24 1-2 cents per pound and 22 1-2 for number 15. In some quarters it is believed that approximately the same figure will prevail this season. That Orange county will run a close second to Los Angeles county this season in the production of walnuts is relied upon of the project: "We are going to take an asset to all in the community.

Last years' quotations on budded nuts was 24 1-2 cents per pound and 22 1-2 for number 15. In some quarters it is believed that approximately the same figure will prevail this season. That Orange county will run a close second to Los Angeles county this season in the production of walnuts is revealed by Thorpe, who has made a careful estimate of the state crop. He estimated Orange county's yield at 8851 tons and Los Angeles at 9013 tons. "A conservative estimate indicates that 27,813 tons of walnuts will be grown this year in the southern counties of the state and that 1265 tons will be harvested north of the Tehachapi." Thorpe said. "Los Angeles county is expected to have 9013 tons; Orange county, 8851 tons; Ventura county, 6397 tons, and Santa Barbara county, 2644 tons." "The tonnage for Orange county probably will be divided as follows: Santa Ana, 3876 tons; Fullerton, 1,974 tons; Orange, 641 tons; Garden Grove, 450 tons; Francis, 850 tons; Anaheim, 652 tons; Capistrano, 300 tons, and Des Moines, 200 tons. "The three biggest producing districts in the walnut belt this year will be Santa Ana with 3788 tons; Saticoy, with 3400 tons, and Puente, with 3300 tons." Thorpe said that there may be some variations from these estimates—perhaps enough to even change the position of one or two leading districts, in the production table, but that the estimate is considered as accurate as any that has been taken in recent years. He reported that the walnuts this year are of excellent size and that the quality likely will be good. The association expects to handle 84 per cent of the entire crop. It was believed by Thorpe that the walnuts grown by association members this year would bring them from $9,000,000 to $10,000,000. PLACENTIA IS DIVIDED ON SANITARY DISTRICT Some Ranchers Oppose the Move, But It May Go Through It was the general opinion that a sanitary district should be formed at Placentia, but the ranchers to the growers will be absolutely imperative in five years' time." John Tuffree opposed the idea and said that he did not think the ranches in the northern section should be expected to come into the proposed sanitary district. J. C. Thamer said he thought a sanitary district would be a splendid thing for Placentia, but he did not see how it could benefit those living outside the well-populated area. Chairman Krick said in reply to the opponents of the project: "We are going to have a sanitary district. We are sure of that. It is now a question of how many we are going to take in." ROAD IMPROVEMENTS VALUABLE Much pavement that is important in the development of the county highway system will be completed this summer. That a number of sections of new pavement have been completed in addition to the repaving of numerous sections of highways that have been badly battered by heavy traffic, is a matter pleasing to citizens of the county in general. The board of supervisors and the county road department two years ago faced a tremendous problem. It was a problem that every county in the state that had any considerable mileage in pavement and the state itself faced. An unexpected heavy traffic had smashed much pavement that was laid at a time when it was impossible to foresee the huge increases that would be in trucking. The county authorities had to take steps to save much of the old paving as possible, and to provide a pavement that would bear heavier traffic than the roads were originally intended to bear. At the same time legislation was sought and has been secured regulating the size of truck loads. And while this has been going on, much sorely needed new pavement has been laid. One of the most important of the new sections is that on Placentia avenue between nth state highway ta abone between the state highway end of Center street, east of Anaheim. This pavement lies in a fertile, well developed area. Some of the finest Valencia groves in the county lie along this avenue. The paving of the avenue is important not only because it serves this particular section, but also because it opens an important north and south artery of the county highway system.

W. W. Krick, who has been prominently identified with the movement to provide the Placentia district with modern sewage facilities, presided at the gathering which was attended by about forty persons. C. N. Mozley, deputy district attorney for Orange county; Dr. Leland Mitchell, county health officer, and Attorney Clyde Bishop, of Orange, were the principal speakers. Mr. Krick outlined the reasons that had prompted the movement to install a modern system to connect with the joint outfall sewer built for Fullerton, Anaheim, Orange and Santa Ana. He referred to the fact that the Placentia school district was one of the richest in the state, having an assessment valuation of $16,000,000, and said that a bond issue of $125,000 was proposed. The rate would run from 7 to 9 cents on the $100. He explained that in order to spread the cost of improvements equitably it was necessary to embrace as large a territory as possible. He said he thought that the local mains to join ANAHEIM GAZETTE RAILROAD CONSOLIDATION One of the most important tasks ever undertaken by the interstate commerce commission is now receiving the attention of that body. This has in view the formulation of a plan for consolidation of railroads into a relatively few large competitive systems. Economy of operation and greater efficiency in handling freight and passengers is the end in view. This project has been taken up in pursuance of the transportation act passed by a Republican congress in 1920. That act provides for either a compulsory or a voluntary consolidation of railroad properties. Paragraph 4 of section 407 of the act requires the commission to prepare a plan for consolidation of railway properties into a limited number of systems, preserving competition as fully as possible and also preserving existing routes and channels of trade and commerce. Subject to those requirements, systems are to be so arranged that cost of transportation over competitive systems shall be practically the same, so that these competitive systems can employ uniform rates in the movement of competitive traffic and, presumably, under efficient management, substantially the same rate of return be earned. When the commission has agreed upon a tentative plan it is required to conduct hearings for the purpose of receiving the opinions of railway officials and representatives of states. After the hearings are at an end the commission given power to adopt a plan for consolidations. Hearings are now closer together in more ways than one. In some instances they are closer together in actual number of miles, in others in time consumed in travel, in others closer together in community interests and spirit. And any road improvement that does that is very much worth while and highly valuable to the county in general. RAILROAD CONSOLIDATION F. R. Eldridge, chief of the far eastern division of the department of commerce, stated the other day that the orient now claims a fifth of the entire foreign trade of the United States. His statement shows that the proportion of the American trade with the orient has nearly doubled since 1913. Heavy exports of silks from Japan and China; rubber and tin from the Straits Settlement; wool from Australia; tea; shellac and manganese from India, increased the imports to America from the Orient from $34,768,000, in 1921, to $53,972,000 in 1922. The prospects are that export and import trade with the orient in 1923 will be 22 per cent of our total trade. The result of this shows how the good fortune of one nation helps others, just as the debacle in Europe shows how the bad luck of one nations spreads to others. Prosperity in the United States and the demand for oriental raw materials is being reflected in those countries like Japan, the Philippines and British Malaysia, which sell most of their exports to the United States. The purchasing power of those countries is thereby greatly increased and our exports to them greatly increased. If China could secure a settled government and dependable laws it would open up a new field inconceivably vast for the commerce of the world. Chinese are as a mass law abiding and peacable. The trouble with that country is not the character of the people, but the impotence of government. It is that they have not yet found the way to unity and centralized order. fence around the yard at the Foster home. They are real bones in an excellent state of preservation. There are bones of the giant vertebrae as large around as a big dinner plate and some as large as a dish pan. The upper bone of a hind leg is attached to the monster hip bones. This bone, although broken, is over eight feet long. The hip bones are more than four feet across. The upper bone of the front leg is splintered but there is seven feet of it left, and it is twenty-four inches in diameter or across the broadest way, for it is not round. A great rib curves a distance of nine feet with a section broken off and missing. There is a great white, round bone with a knob at each end that is nine inches thick and two feet long. It is presumed to have been the bone extending from the ankle joint to the heel of the foot. No head bones were found and no teeth or tusks, but no search was made for them. The bones gathered up by Foster were found at a point in a canyon near the ocean front, where gravel and clay and shale form a conglomerate in the early tertiary, or upper cretaceous period. What was the monster? How could a mere reporter tell? How does Foster, a rancher, know? He only smiles laconically, waves his hand toward the great pile of snow white bones and says, "There they are." Whatever this pre-historic monster was, thunder lizard or mastodon, great cave pear or saber-tooth tiger, sea monster or amphibian, "scaled and tailed," and drab as a dead man hand," he lived when the blue Devon springs abounded and the great coastal tropical country was a wilderness of giant vegetation on which he fed. He brought into the young world a great appetite, he and his family and descendants, and there was plenty for them to feed upon.

This is to prevent issuance of watered stock. Consolidations by voluntary act of railroad corporations are subject to aproval after hearing. It seems likely that most consolidations that take place will be under the voluntary provisions of the law. The tendency in past years has been to consolidate railroads, the strong roads buying up the property of the weaker for a great many years there was strong popular prejudice against those consolidations, probably for the reason that in some instances the consolidations would eliminate rather than stimulate competition. Under the plan which the interstate commerce commission has tentatively formulated a few large systems will be created connecting the chief transportation centers and absorbing the smaller lines into the large systems. The plan is of such a nature that a shipper will in most instances have a choice between two competitive systems in determining the line over which his goods shall be transported. The chief advantage of the consolidation plan would be that the shipper in most instances would deal with only one railroad company and that company, having a complete through system, would so arrange its service as to carry the goods at the least possible cost and the greatest possible expedition. There would be no opportunity for one road to shirk responsibility for inefficiency as the whole length of the service in a majority of instances would be under one management. There would be some saving in overhead costs, but this would probably be of relatively minor immechanism and dependable laws it would upon up a new field inconceivably vast for the commerce of the world. The Chinese are as a mass law abiding and peaceable. The trouble with that country is not the character of people, but the impotence of government. It is that they have not yet found the way to unity and centralized order. It is only a question of time until they do find it. And when they do the predominance in trade will swing fromthe Atlantic to the Pacific. The world is waiting upon China. THE FOUR HOUR DAY It is easy to speculate on the coming of time when the work of the world may be accomplished by four hours of application daily. Each is to labor for that period, rest of time to be his own. The conclusion seems to be reached that the condition would be marked by happiness and content. This view must be based on the existence of an ideal race. To lighton human task that there would remain twenty hours of each twenty-four to be devoted to rest or to measure, would involve changes so as that influence could not be estimated. The student delving for knowledge, he wisely man in his laboratory wrestling with the problems of nature, scientific devoting himself to discovery, would resent shortening of their labor day. The man who works with his hands, but whose mind is not cultivated, and whose tendency is not towards their inner things of life, might be in danger of deterioration. Philosophers tell of the duty of learning to think; a pleasing suggestion to such as may be equipped for it, or inclined towards it. The great majority, as at present constituted, lacks either desire to think, or the capacity to think well. That a man shall earn his bread seems to be a natural law. He thus feels, as he tolls, that he is fulfilling his destiny, and has small inclination to rebel. If he could do his share with less protected effort, perhaps he would be glad of it; that he would be benefitted is a question.

Whileharborboostersandothers keenly interestedinthedevelopmentworkasktobeanioustolaunch ON ORIENTAL BUSINESS It does not take the seventh son of a seventh son to prophesy with assurances that in a hundred years from now they will be more foreign business transacted from the Pacific than from the Atlantic coast. The reason is simple. Trans-Atlantic business is with Europe; trans-Pacific business is with the orient. All business is at bottom a matter of trade. Eventually we buy goods with goods, not with money. The orient wants what we have and has what we want; while Europe has what we have and wants what we want. In addition to this the orient is young and Europe is old. This may sound untrue, but by youth we refer simply to the possibilities of the future, not to the length of the past. The orient is waking up Europe is going to sleep. The orient is full of the sap of new seems to be a natural law.

Of course there are instances of gross inequality, as to hours and pay, and these make moral demand for correction without awaiting the dawn of a four hour day. The possibility of the proposed change lies in the perfecting of machinery. To save wear and tear upon the human mechanism, and thus to conserve health, and make life brighter, is highly desirable. But what of the millions of people left with empty hours? How would they employ their energies? Assuredly in order to do so profitably they would first have to be lifted to a plane intellectually and spiritually far above that they now occupy. PREHISTORIC BONES FOUND AT SAN JUAN CAPISTRANO Remains of Huge Monster Unearthed on the Foster Ranch The great bones of some mighty monster have been found that walked the streets some 50,000,000 years ago. The bones, a couple of wagon loads of them, were found on the Foster ranch at San Juan Capistrano and were hauled to Foster's beautiful home across the highway from the old San Juan Capistrano mission ruins. The bones are bleaching in the sun of modern California in a corner of the ALFALFA STRAW SCARCE Citrus growers of Orange county who expect to purchase 50,000 tons of alfalfa straw for fertilization purposes will be disappointed this year, according to the secretary manager of the Orange county farm bureau, A.

The cost of what little bean straw is obtainable runs around $17 a ton delivered, according to the farm bureau management, which is high, but not prohibitive to use as a fertilizer. Several carloads of manure were ped into Anaheim last week, all of which has been sold. This fertilizer is more concentrated than the alfalfa straw, and was procured at $14 a ton.

Two per- BOOTLEGGERS CONTRIBUTE TO COUNTY TREASURY Cox Assesses Fines to the Amount of $900 in One Day A total of $900 in fines was collected Saturday by Justice J. B. Cox from five defendants who appeared before him on liquor charges. Hardest hit of the quartette in court was O. Keene, operator of a filling station near Huntington Beach, who was fined $600, with the alternative of serving 500 days in jail. Keene went to jail pending the result of efforts to raise the money. He was charged with having liquor in his possession, but, in pronouncing judgment, the court considered circumstances, alleged by officers who arrested Keene, which indicated that Keene had been selling liquor. Deputy Sheriffs Ed McClellan, Scott and O. K. Carr, with Constable J. L. Elliott, arrested Keene Friday evening. With him they captured J. W. Roper, who was expected to be arraigned in court on a similar charge. Roper was said to have been leaving Keene's place with two pints of liquor in his possession as the officers arrived. Inside, it was said, the officers found eight pints more, and three sacks of empty bottles. Keene declared that he was saving the empty bottles for the junk man. L. M. Winston and C. A. Eldridge, The choral union plans to present two operas this winter, first "Robin Hood," which will be ready for the stage in November; and, second, "Carmen," which will be presented probably in March or April. Two performances of each of these operas will be given in Santa Ana, one at Anaheim and one at Fullerton. Each associate member is to be given six tickets to each of the productions. The fee for an associate membership is $5. Among the details of the campaign, was that the newspapers of the county are to be asked to co-operate with publicity. In each newspaper, if possible, a coupon will be printed. This coupon can be filled out and, with a check, sent to the campaign committee. The unions' work for the coming year is made a real country-wide organization. In the past two years while the organization was called a county choral union, much of the effort was centered in Santa Ana. This year, it is proposed to extend the duties of officers and committees so that the organization will represent the whole county. During the drive, various clubs of the county will be told of the work and plans of the choral union. Every member of the choral union is to be asked to help in the associate membership drive. Each will be given a quota of memberships to sell.
