VOLUME LII
BOND ELECTION FOR SCHOOL BUILDING
BOARD COMPELLED TO PLAN MORE ROOM FOR NEXT YEAR'S TERM
Twelve-Room Structure Decided Upon, and an issue of $110,000. Asked—Election to Be Held at the Fremont Building Saturday, October 27—More Than 1600 Pupils in Attendance Now, and Many More Expected During the Term—Half Day Sessions May Be Necessary.
Keeping pace with the increasing enrollment in the city schools, and providing room for the rapidly enlarging body of pupils is a problem that perpetually confronts the school trustees, especially during the last few years. A year ago two buildings were erected on the Citron street grounds, adding four rooms, which were expected to be used only temporarily prices. This season's increase in production is largely in the buds and fancy grades.
Members of the association have done much early pacikng because the early rains loosened the hulls of the walnuts. Some shipments already have reached their destination, and large quantities are on the way to the east. The sales department of the association predicts that California walnuts will be in nearly all markets of the country in the next two or three weeks.
Carlyle Thorpe, general manager of the association, believes that this season's crop will move briskly. His recent survey of the country convinced him that there is a good buying power. However, Mr. Thorpe reports a tendency to "shop." He expects the holiday business, in which the walnut plays an important part along with California raisins, to the unusually good.
In commenting on the price announcements Mr. Thorpe said: "The popularity which the budded walnut has gained by reason of its size and its plump white meat make a differential of 4 cents between its and the No. 1 easily within reason, because the differential a year ago was 3 1-2 cents, and the budded walnut was in strong demand throughout the year. The present crop of walnuts contains more than twice as many No. 2 walnuts as
Keeping pace with the increasing enrollment in the city schools, and providing room for the rapidly enlarging body of pupils is a problem that perpetually confronts the school trustees, especially during the last few years. A year ago two buildings were erected on the Citron street grounds, adding four rooms, which were expected to be used only temporarily until the contemplated new brick structure was built. As soon as the school term ended work was begun on the junior high school building, an annex to the Fremont school, and it was completed in time for the opening of school. This added nine more rooms, but it was found necessary to continue the use of the four temporary rooms.
More than 1500 pupils enrolled for the opening of the intermediate schools, which was considerably in excess of Superintendent Smith's estimate, and this figure has been augmented until now there are more than 1600 in daily attendance. All the rooms are already crowded, and, of course, as the term progresses more pupils will come in, many of them newcomers, and a number already resident here who have not yet started. It is feared by Professor Smith and the board that half day sessions will have to be resorted to.
In all probability the enrollment at the beginning of next fall's term will be close to 2000, and in order to provide for this heavy increase the board decided to call a bond election for the purpose of erecting another large building. Plans were made at a meeting of the board last Wednesday at which County Superintendent R. P. Mitchell was present. A 12-room structure was decided upon, and it was also voted to call a bond election for $110,000 for the purpose of purchasing a site and erecting the building. The election date was fixed for Saturday, October 27, and it will be held at the Fremont school. Frank F. Davis, Lamont Goble and W. C. Maxwell were chosen as election officials. That the bonds will carry there is little doubt, and everybody recognizes that the new building is an imperative need.
The Fremont annex, costing $50,000, was built with funds saved by an economic administration of school affairs by the board. It was built under the direction of Superintendent Smith.
In commenting on the price announcements Mr. Thorpe said: "The popularity which the budded walnut has gained by reason of its size and its plump white meat make a differential of 4 cents between its and the No. 1 easily within reason, because the differential a year ago was 3 1-2 cents, and the budded walnut was in strong demand throughout the year. The present crop of walnuts contains more than twice as many No. 2 walnuts as there were in last year's pack. The No. 2 is not in strong demand while the larger and finer walnuts are offered, and it can only be sold in large quantity by making the price such as will attract the consumer. If an attractive price were not made on the No. 2a carryover would likely result, and next year's crop would probably be handicapped. The association's policy from the start has been to sell the cro pas quickly as possible every year and allow the consumer plenty of time to eat it up and get hungry before another crop arrives.
"Several industries which are handling California fruits and nuts have already had to lower their prices this year, principally because of carryovers. The dried-fruit growers, raise in growers and almond growers are striking examples. The almond men have already placed their prices 4 cents a pound below their opening prices of last year.
The increase on the crop is a result of a greater acreage in walnut orchards, the production by the acre being about the same as last year.
W. R. Webber, sales manager of the association, announces that already more than 150 cars of California walnuts are moving east. Some cars arrived at destination before the prices were announced.
MAJOR BAILEY IN JAPAN
Major Neill E. Bailey, who has been stationed in Manila for the past year, sailed from that port on September 7th on board the United States transport Merritt in the relief expedition, bound for Japan. Major Bailey has been placed in command of the quartermaster's personnel and has charge of the handling of all the food stuffs and other quartermaster supplies. The ship also carries doctors, nurses, medical supplies, blankets, tents, etc. Another ship, similarly laden, left Manila on the 10th of September and usually good.

WALNUT PRICES FIXED BY THE ASSOCIATION
Practically the Same as Last Year With Some Grades Lower
Walnuts will be as cheap this year as last and the price of some grades will be less than a year ago. The supply is plentiful.
The directors of the California Walnut Growers' association met Thursday at the association headquarters in Los Angeles and announced the opening prices for the season, which already had begun so far as shipments go. It also was made known that this year's crop will aggregate 52,000,000 pounds, 7 per cent heavier than last year's. The crop will be worth from $11,500,000 to $12,500,000, it is predicted.
The new season's prices are as follows: Budded walnuts, 26 cents a pound—the same price as last year. No. 1 walnuts, 22 cents a pound—half cent lower than last year. No. 2 walnuts, 15 cents a pound—2 1/2 cents cheaper than last years' opening

AUTOS TAGGED FOR TRAILING FIRE TRUCK
TWELVE DRIVERS ORDERED TO ANSWER IN COURT FOR DISOBEYING ORDINANCE
Utter Oilsregard of Fire Regulations Makes Drastic Measures Necessary—All Autos Supposed to Pull Into the Curb and Stop When Alarm is Sounded, But Few Obey—False Alarm Friday Evening Staged for Purpose of Trapping Offenders—Fire Truck Hampered By Congestion.
Within the space of a few moments twelve auto drivers were tagged by the police and motorcycle officers Friday evening, and ordered to appear before Judge Brown for violating ordinance No. 431, which provides for regulating traffic on the streets when the fire siren blows.
For the purpose of putting a stop to an intolerable nuisance the police deffected without the appointment of an additional director.
The merger of the two organizations was suggested to do away with duplication of work and to secure a greater efficiency in conducting affairs which ordinarily come under the jurisdiction o f such civic bodies.
AMERICAN LEGION MEN TO ATTEND REUNION
Ten Anaheimers Expect to Meet Comrades of the 91st.
Approximately sixty Orange county legionnaires have made reservations for the reunion of the 91st division in San Francisco, Saturday and Sunday, October 13 and 14, and the national convention of the American Legion, October 15-19, Clyde Whitney, adjutant of Santa Ana post No. 131, American Legion, announced.
Including the wives of some of the Santa Ana men, twenty-one will go from there, ten each from Fullerton, Anaheim and Orange, eight from Huntington Beach and one from Brea.
According to information received, 6000 veterans of the 91st are expected to be present at the reunion. Estimates places the number expected at the national convention at 150,000.
The main feature of the reunion will be the divisional dinner in the civic auditorium Saturday evening. It was low price of oil may hamper drilling OPERATOR DOESN'T BELIEVE BIG COMPANIES WILL BRING IN MANY WELLS
Wild Cat Territory Not Likely to Be Developed Until Prices Improve, This Man Declares—May Slow Down on Production Until High Prices Are Restored—The People Watching the Standard's Test Well With Keen Interest—All Predict It Will Be a Deep Well.
"Don't 'kid' yourself into believing that an oil well will be brought in by any of the four big companies operating in wildcat territory, as long as the price of oil and gasoline is as low as it is at present," said an oil operator the other day. It is commonly reported that the cutting of the price of gasoline is done for the sole purpose of freezing out the small companies. This man said.

Within the space of a few moments twelve auto drivers were tagged by the police and motorcycle officers Friday evening, and ordered to appear before Judge Brown for violating ordinance No. 431, which provides for regulating traffic on the streets when the fire siren blows.
For the purpose of putting a stop to an intolerable nuisance the police department and fire department co-operated in staging a false alarm. When all was set and everybody ready for action the siren belched forth its wierd song. Simultaneously the truck dashed out of its parking place and headed west on Center, and in an instant hundreds of autos were in motion, many of them wildly careering after the truck, contemptuous of ordinance 431, and regardless of the speed laws. Then the motorcycle men got busy and hung a dozen tags on the cars of the chief offenders, and directing the drivers to appear before Judge Brown and pay the penalty. The ordinance provides a maximum fine of $100, or a jail sentence.
This ordinance was adopted for the purpose of giving the fire department an unhampered run to a fire. It provides that on the sounding of the siren drivers of cars shall immediately pull into the curb and stop, giving a free passage to the truck on any street. But it has been working directly opposite from the intention of its framers. The sounding of the siren was the signal, apparently, for every auto in the city to get in motion. Cars dashed out of the side streets into the main thoroughfares resulting in congestion and endangerment the lives of pedestrians as well as hampering the fire fighters. Only a week or two ago the truck was halted twice in its dash to a fire by a blockade of machines, and every driver was acting in violation of the ordinance.
It is not only on its passage through the streets, but on arrival at the seat of the fire that the department is hampered in its work by the flock of cars that crowd about the scene of the fire. As the people refuse to listen to appeals and proclamations, and persistently disobey the ordinance, a drastic move to force obedience is necessary.

ANAHEIM IS NOW TO BE MOVIE CENTER
Recognizing Orange county as the center of Valencia orange belt and Anaheim as one of the leading city centers, arrangements have been made by the National Film company to make Anaheim and Fullerton their headquarters for a series of educational pictures, titled "The Orange."
Within a few days there will be a conference between the board of directors of the chamber of commerce and Capt. M. McKenzie, production manager of the big producing company and arrangements will be made to have some of the scenes in the film made on the ranches in the vicinity of Anaheim. It is the plan of the producing company to film the orange in all stages of development from the budding blossom to the ripened fruit, pictures will also be taken in the packing houses to show to the eastern manner in which the fruit is packed and shipped.
Anaheim and the Anaheim district will be featured right through the film, thus giving a large amount of publicity to the city.
In the Fullerton district arrangements have been made with the Bastanchury rancho, the largest orange estate in the United States, the Chapman ranch and the new pre-cooling plant of The Placentia Packing company.
COUNTY MUST CARE FOR ITS OWN INSANE INCURABLES CANNOT BE MOVED TO STATE
"Don't 'kid' yourself into believing that an oil well will be brought in by any of the four big companies operating in wildcat territory, as long as the price of oil and gasoline is as low as it is at present," said an oil operator other day. It is commonly reported that the cutting of the price of gasoline is done for the sole purpose of freezing out the small companies. This man said.
It is cheaper to keep the oil under ground than on top, but the money lost by the big fellows now will easily be made back, when the small fellows are squeezed to the point of letting loose, whenever that may be. Then the magic wand will be waved over the eld and the price will go up, this man says, and he allows he knows what he is talking about.
It is said a 40-acre tank farm is being erected in Richfield district by one of the large oil companies. The capacity of these reservoirs will run into the million gallons. With oil at $1.00, or less, a barrel, large quantities will be stored. It is said there is now an ever-production, but this view is combatted by many who claim to have made a close study of the supply and demand. A certain oil operator in The Santa Fe Springs territory seems to be the object of attack by the big companies. This man has made a phenomenal record and has made real money for his many unit holders. He has confidence of hundreds of small stock investors, who have literally opened their purses and told him to help himself to their money and use it as he thinks best. His methods have been unique in the annals of the oil game. This gentleman desires to branch out and build a refinery and operate a pipe line. This costs money, and would bring him forward as a real contended to buck the oil game with his powerful competitors. What success will crown his efforts remains to be seen.
Progress of the test well east of town is being watched with keen interest by a majority of people of this section, and if oil is struck there they would, of course, like to know about it. In all probability a great depth will have to be drilled on this site before it is definitely known whether or not oil is to be found here. Some drillers say perhaps it will be necessary to go 7000 feet.
However, many believe that other wells will be tested in this vicinity within the next ninety days, and if oil
CHAMBER OF COMMERCE AND MERCHANTS FUSE
By nanimous vote the directors of the Anaheim chamber of commerce, in session Thursday afternoon at the Kilks' club house, approved the combined report of committees from that organization and the Anaheim Merchants' association, which provides for the disbandment of the latter association as a separate organization and consolidates it with the chamber of commerce as a branch.
The report, as read to the directors, provides that the Merchants' and Manufacturers' association shall cease to function as a separate organization immediately and that no further dues shall be paid into its treasury.
It also provides that, to be a member of the merchants' and manufacturers' branch of the chamber of commerce the man or woman must be a member of the latter organization as provided by its constitution.
Under the new plan the secretary of the chamber of commerce shall be secretary of the merchants' branch, shall attend its regular monthly meetings and handle its records and correspondence. A member of this branch shall be a special director of the larger organization, the committee report says. Since Roscoe Young is president of the merchants' and manufacturers' association and also a director of the chamber of commerce, it is thought that the merger may be publicized to the city.
In the Fullerton district arrangements have been made with the Bastanchury rancho, the largest orange estate in the United States, the Chapman ranch and the new pre-cooling plant of the Placentia Packing company.
COUNTY MUST CARE FOR ITS OWN INSANE
Incurables Cannot Be Moved to State Institutions
Orange county now is being called on to take care of its own incurably insane.
This was made known at the county hospital, where six patients; pronounced by state asylum authorities as incurable, are new being quartered.
Under a new state law, recently effective, the various counties that have facilities for taking care of their own insane are required to keep incurable cases. The state institutions still handle such cases as are regarded to be curable.
With the construction of the new psychopathic ward at the county hospital the state authorities held that Orange county has facilities for taking care of its own incurable cases. Therefore, the six patients were returned to this county from the state institutions, where they had been committed.
At present there are nine "mental cases" at the county hospital, the number including three cases held under observation and not yet determined as insane.
Hospital authorities stated that each insanity case received at the hospital will be committed to state institutions as formerly. The state authorities pass upon the question of curability, and if the patients are judged to be incurable, they are returned to the county.
However, many believe that other wells will be tested in this vicinity within the next ninety days, and if oil is not found in one locality it may be struck in another.
It is rumored one big company annually appropriates $5,000,000 for testing out wild cat territory. A good part of this amount, no doubt, will be spent in what is now called the Anaheim field—east, south and west.
It is believed that the present cut in gasoline is only temporary and is one of the vagaries in the game of hide and seek when big money is at stake. The development work as planned in this section has progressed to such an extent that it would be almost impossible for any one big company covering up anything, in the way of shutting off operations, should encouraging reports come as to the finding of oil in the section east of this city. Things move fast these days and there is no good reason to believe that the day is far away when people here will know for sure if they are in proven territory or not.
Incidentally, some land owners hereabouts believe they have not received a sufficient bonus for leasing their land. Quite a number signed up for $10 an acre bonus, while others in this locality have received sums ranging from $75 to several hundred per acre.
When the famous Santa Fe Springs field gushed in $10,000 an acre bonus was paid some land owners, while it is related that five acres near a gush-

FIRST ARRESTS FOR CARRYING WEAPONS
Two Stanton Mexicans Must Answer to Felony Charge
The first prosecution to be conducted under provisions of the new state law regulating the possession of firearms was started in Justice J. B. Cox's court, where Anpeto Chavez and Francisco Rivera, Stanton Mexicans, were arraigned on a felony charge of carrying concealed weapons. Their preliminary hearing was set for October 24, at 10 a.m.
The carrying of a concealed weapon, heretofore, had been rated as a misdemeanor and at present is holding such status so far as American citizens are concerned, the authorities pointed out. In the case of aliens, however, the new law makes such an offense a felony.
More or less discussion of the law has been raised since it went into effect recently. In some quarters, it was said, there has been an inclination to question its constitutionality on the grounds that it discriminates

HARRY RILEY SEES BUSHELS OF GOLD
Reaches Home After Inspecting Valuable Arizona Property
Bringing with him a story of "gold by the shovelful and pay dirt everywhere," Harry D. Riley, prominent local business man, has returned from Wickenberg, Ariz., where he went with W. M. Bender, of Montebello, to inspect a 1600-acre placer mine lease.
Riley said that the owner of the property, who is anxious to develop it, offered to pay $100 for every shovelful of dirt, picked at any point on the 1600 acres, in which there was not a showing of gold. Eight tests were made at various points, and every test showed free gold in the contents of the shovel, it was said.
Many interesting characters were seen by Riley on the trip. He was especially interested in the appearance of fa number of prospectors, who still haunt the old-time abandoned mining camps and workings of nearly a generation ago. These men, with their gaunt, unshaven faces, matted hair and stooped shoulders and accompanied by the traditional burro, have spent their lives on the desert and in the great, rugged, dry hills which border the arid wastes. They never cease hunting for gold, and apparently are content with their slim diet and the company of their faithful donkeys.
One prospector was a woman hater, who had spent many years on the desert. He is well educated, Riley said, and is secretary of three mining companies with workings on the desert.
Tales of the old deserted mining towns, especially Wickenberg, which
An enjoyable outing by a number of Anaheim people, and what promised to be a merry evening party last Saturday was brought to a sad termination by the sudden death of one of the participants. The party consisted of relatives and friends of Mr. and Mrs. William J. Matter, who recently returned from their honeymoon and have established their home at Maywood. A dozen or more of their friends here decided to visit them on Saturday evening, and announce their arrival by an old-fashioned charivari on the lawn.
A member of the party was Miss Norma Schindler, a cousin of Mr. Matter. Immediately after descending from her car at the Matter residence Miss Schindler sank to the ground, apparently in a swoo. She was carried into the house and a physician summoned, but the doctor pronounced her dead on his arrival. She was stricken with heart disease, and death was apparently instantaneous. The body was taken in charge by a Huntington Park undertaker and brought 16 Backs, Terry & Campbell's parlor, where the funeral was held yesterday afternoon.
Miss Schindler was 25 years of age, and was a native of Anaheim. She was a member of one of the oldest families in the city. She was the daughter of Mrs. Henrietta Schindler, and grand daughter of Henry Kroeger-one of the pioneers. Her father was the late Charles Schindler, for many years one of the most prominent citizens of Anaheim.
Besides her mother she leaves four brothers, Charles, Herman, Henry and Alfred Schindler, and three sisters, Mrs. Claude Eaton, Mrs. Clifford Seims and Miss Leona Schindler. Numerous other relatives as well as a host of friends are left to mourn her untimely death.

OF ORANGE COUNTY
Vieiting Assessors Fall in Love With County
Assessors from virtually every county in California, who have returned to their home following a successful convention held in Santa Ana, were a unit in declaring they enjoyed their stay to the utmost and have only the highest praise for Orange county, according to County Assessor James Sleeper, who played host to more than ninety visitors during the week.
"The assessors," Sleeper declared, "returned to their homes with a very vivid picture of Santa Ana and Orange county in their minds. Many of them, before leaving Saturday night, told me they had never enjoyed a state convention as they enjoyed the one held here. At the same time, the daily discussion and the many helpful addresses delivered will stimulate interest in matters affecting all the assessors and will go far toward paving the way for a Successful convention at Napa next year."
Sleeper said some of the visiting assessors, who had never been in Orange county before, were amazed at the progress and prosperity apparent here.
"They said they had never seen such splendid groves and orchards," Sleeper asserted, "and our Orange county cities proved a revelation to many of the visitors, particularly those from some sections of northern California."
At next year's convention, it was said, the assessors hope to have with them many of the supervisors of the respective California counties. It is believed many helpful suggestions and constructive programs will result from an interchange of ideas between the supervisors and the county assessors.
