Mr. Luneberg enjoyed the income of one of the largest estates in Anaheim. quoted recently as stating that if the county is to vote $1,000,000 for harbor improvement, a road direct from the north to the harbor should be built. He was said to have added that the north end holds the whip hand in the matter of the harbor bonds — that solid opposition with those from other sections who would naturally oppose another issue, could defeat the proposed issue of $1,000,000. It was understood that rough estimates of the probable cost of such a boulevard indicated a cost of $1,000,000. It was said that Harry Whitaker, postmaster at Anaheim, had procured from the conty engineer’s office a blueprint of the proposed boulevard. The straight-line location, he was quoted as saying, would place the new avenue about one mile east of Garden Grove and half a mile west of the city limits of Santa Ana. Approximately twenty miles of road would have to be built, it was stated. ORANGE COUNTY WALENUTS SHIPPED TO LONDON Orange county known throughout the U. S. and Canada for the excellence of its walnuts, has been highly honored by the California Walnut Growers Association, according to A. J. McFadden, prominent rancher. "I am informed," McFadden said, "that the central association, with headquarters in Los Angeles has sent After an illness of long duration from asthma and other complaints, Joachim Luneberg died at his home on South Claudina street Wednesday. Funeral services were held at Backs, Terry & Campbell's parlors Saturday afternoon, Rev. Thomas Walker conducting the services. The Uniform Rank, Knights of Pythias, assisted at the funeral, and read the ritualistic rites at the cemetery. Mr. Luneberg enjoyed the income of one of the largest estates in Anaheim. By the will of his wife, Mrs. Rosalle Hart Luneberg; her entire estate was left to him during his lifetime, and at his death was to be distributed among a number of legatees. The property consists mostly of Anaheim real estate, and since her death two years ago, it has considerably advanced in value. It is now estimated to be worth nearly half a million dollars. Mr. Luneberg's own estate was appraised $32,882. This consisted of $19,168 in cash, $13,020 in notes, and $700 in an insurance policy. Mrs. Clara Krieman of Detroit, Mich., is the only known relative of Mr. Luneberg, and is his heir at law. In the disposition of the property under the will of Mrs. Luneberg the building occupied by Locke & McAulay's shoe store and the Cherry Blossom, goes to Louis Daniels, a nephew of the testator. The building in which is situated Hammel's Music Store and Kuehn & Bremer's Tailor Shop, is bequeathed to Mrs. Mary Synod, a sister-in-law. The Palm Cafe building was left to Margaret La Brun of San Diego, a friend. The building occupied by the Scott Realty Co. and the barber shop becomes the property of another San Diego friend, Ella Breedlove. The G. O. Payne store building goes to Dr. K. A. Loerch of Santa Ana, a former boarder at the Hart home, and friend of the family. Mrs. Augusta Heiserodt, wife of Guy Helserodt, a niece, was liberally remembered. The two buildings occupied by the Marsh Grocery store and the Palace Market were bequeathed to her, as well as the valuable residence property on South Claudina street. From the rentals of the business property she was directed to pay Mrs. Emestine Bunger the sum of $25 per month during her lifetime. Mrs. Bunker, who lived at Maywood (Bell station) was a sister of Mrs. Luneberg and formerly made her home with her. Mrs. Heiserodt was also directed to make a home at the family residence for Mrs. Mary Synold. The building Orange county konwn throughout the U.S. and Canada for the excellence of its walnuts, has been highly honored by the California Walnut Growers Association, according to A.J. McFadden, prominent rancher. "I am informed," McFadden said, "that the central association, with headquarters in Los Angeles, has sent to England 100 sacks of budded walnuts, on a special order received from Shearns, Limited, with headquarters in London. "This shipment, selected from Orange county walnuts, went forward October 11, on the steamship Lochkatrina of the Holland American line, and will reach the European trade in time for the holidays. "I understand the executives of the California Walnut Growers association feel that this order is a great compliment to the excellence of Southern California walnuts. France and Italy are constantly shipping nuts into England, many of these nuts being first-class in every particular. We feel, therefore, that the Orange county walnut growers have good reason to feel elated by virtue of the fact that a big English firm has ordered five tons of our product." McFadden added that the walnuts shipped to England were as fine as any to be found anywhere in the world. "The inspector's report," McFadden said, "shows that the walnuts cracked 95 per cent perfect. The size and appearance was excellent." McFadden was unable to state what prices will prevail when the Orange county wanuts are sold to the foreign trade. Twenty-six cents per pound was paid for the wanuts on the wholesale market in Los Angeles. GRAND JURORS MET MONDAY MORNING Three Anaheim People on The Panel This Time.

NEW BOULEVARD PROPOSED A discussion of the suggested construction of a county boulevard from the north end of the county to Newport harbor was to be a feature discussion at the Associated Chambers of Commerce meeting at Garden Grove last night. William Schumacher, supervisor from the north end, is credited with being the "father" of the idea of the conty boulevard. Schumacher was Coming as a sudden surprise, Judge Z. B. West, Thursday issued a call for a session of the Orange county grand jury to meet in Department 1 of the Superior Court Monday morning. The purpose of the meeting, with the exception of the selection of a foreman and the routine organization work, could not be learned. Thirty-five persons were instructed to report.

During recent operative motorcycle officers in headlights that need to comply with the state motorists were given tend to their headlighting adjustments made by beallight station; they pointed out, must bring and adjust certifications of the peace order authority and have given the official star after which the citation.

Twenty Citizens Registered Their Disapproval of the Proposed $110,000 Issue, But an Eight to One Favorable Vote Was Cast—School Trustees Now Looking For a Site on Which to Erect a 12-Room Building. Voters of Anaheim who favored the $110,000 bond issue proposed by the board of trustees of the intermediate schools for the erection of a new school building, apparently felt that opposition to the proposal was so insignificant that the project was in no danger of defeat. Out of a registration of more than 3000 only 177 were cast at Saturday's election twenty of these being on the negative side of the question. The bonds carried therefore by an eight to one vote, and the difficult problem of finding a strated to them by means of a testing appartus that the officers had brought with them and established on the ground. This manner of bringing the headlight situation directly to the attention of the motorists was regarded as an excellent "attention compeller" in the advertisement of the department's campaign of education. With reference to adjustment certificates issued to motorists at headlight stations Inspector Gilroy had the following to say: "The only time these certificates are required is when the motorist brings his citation before the justice. Then he must show something to prove that his headlights have been adjusted. Hence the certificate." "The law does not require possession of these certificates. What the law demands is that headlights be properly adjusted, not that the owner of the car has a certificate showing that they were so at one time. Possession of the certificate, however, does show that the motorist had attempted to comply with the law, though his headlights mae be out of justment subsequently. In that respect the certificate would be useful to gain favorable consideration from officers who might halt the motorist on account of his headlights." ORANGE CITY COUNCIL BANS LEGION DANCE PIONEER WOMAN ANSWERS LAST SUMMONS MRS. BARBARA PARKER CALLED BY DEATH AT HER RESIDENCE SUNDAY Was the Daughter of Daniel Kraemer, One of the Early Settlers of This Region—Landed in Anaheim 56 Years Ago Next Thursday—Came Here From Belleville, Ill., by Way of The Isthmus of Panama. The death of Mrs. Barbara Parker removes another of our old time citizens, one who came here when the country was young, and only wild growth sprang from the fertile soil now covered with productive orchards Mrs. Parker died at her home on West Broadway, Sunday evening, after a short illness, at the age of 74. Barbara Kraemer was born at the old Kraemer homestead, Belleville, Ill., on June 17, 1849. She was the daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Daniel Kraemer. The Kraemer's had lived on the place since 1816, but at the close of $110,000 bond issue proposed by the board of trustees of the intermediate schools for the erection of a new school building, apparently felt that opposition to the proposal was so insignificant that the project was in no danger of defeat. Out of a registration of more than 3000 only 177 votes were cast at Saturday's election twenty of these being on the negative side of the question. The bonds carried therefore by an eight to one vote, and the difficult problem of finding a suitable site on which to erect the builing now confronts the trustees. County Superintendent R. P. Mitchell will certify the returns to the board of supervisors, and that body will offer the bonds for sale as soon as the law permits. It is expected that they will bring a good premium. The trustees are now in the market for a suitable site, and as they are unhafpered by restrictions and may choose the ground where they can get the best bargain, it is believed that a site can be secured at a reasonable figure. It is the purpose of the board to erect a 12-room building, and it must be completed for the opening of next term. Judging from the rapid increase in school population in the past, and presuming that it will be continued at the same rate, every room will again be filled next year, and the board will again be compelled to find more room. HEADLIGHT CITATIONS CALL FOR QUICK ACTION If You Have Received One, Don't Delay in Answering Have you a little headlight citation in you home—or maybe in your pocket? If so, listen to this "warning from Warner." "Motorists who have headlight citations had better bring them in," was the declaration made by Henry S. Warner, captain of the state motorcycle police stationed at Santa Ana. Captain Warner made the remrk in his customry grim manner, indicating that he wasn't joking about the matter. During recent operations of the motorcycle officers in checking up headlights that need adjustment to comply with the state law, numerous motorists were given citations to attend to their headlights. After having adjustments made at some official does show that the motorist had attempted to comply with the law, though his headlights mae be out of justment subsequently. In that respect the certificate would be useful to gain favorable consideration from officers who might halt the motorist on account of his headlights." ORANGE CITY COUNCIL BANS LEGION DANCE The death knell on street dancing was given in Orange, Tuesday, at least as far as the city council is concerned, with the exception of Mayor I. E. Gunther, who vigorously re-fended dancing, following the request of C. F. Newton of the entertainment committee on the Armitice day celebration planned for this year. The fact that the majority of the board were not favorable towards the dance was revealed when Mr. Newton appeared before that body at their regular meeting and requested permission for a dance on a street near the plaza between the hours of 8 and 10 p.m., Nov. 12 under the auspices of the American Legion who are arranging the entertainment for the day. He declared that a variety of amusements had been provided for during the day and this forlum of entertainment was thought would hold the thousands who came to the city for the celebration or the evening entertainment. Immediately after Mr. Newton had finished speaking Trustee Walton voiced disapproval of the plan and he was shortly followed in his opinion by the rest of the board, with the exception of Gunther. The rest of the body declared that they believed that the people had gone on record sufficiently to show that they opposed dancing. It was then that Mayor Gunther spoke. He declared that, in his opinion, he did not see any harm in the street dance, declaring that at last dance, of this kind he had not witnessed a single rowdy act and that although he had never learned to dance he could not see the rarm in it as rir his colleagues. He said that those persons who did not like dancing were to be provided with other forms of amusement while the dance was going on. They, at least, said could listen to the band. Numerous persons, when questioned following the meeting in many cases did not express themselves openly but only shook their heads zens, one who came here when the country was young, and only wild growth sprang from the fertile soil now covered with productive orchards Mrs. Parker died at her home on West Broadway, Sunday evening, after a short illness, at the age of 74. Barbara Kraemer was born at the old Kraemer homestead, Belleville, Ill., on June 17, 1849. She was the daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Daniel Kraemer. The Kraemer's had lived on the place since 1816, but at the close of civil war Daniel Kraemer decided to try his fortune on the Pacific coast. On Sept. 27, 1867, he and his family started on their long journey to the Golden West, but instead of heading west they went east. At New York they boarded a vessel for Aspinwall and crossed the Isthmus, a route that many thousands had taken before. At Panama, on the Pacific side of the Isthmus, they took ship for north, and eventually landed at San Francisco. After a considerable stay in San Francisco, where a supply of necessary goods was purchased, the family took a vessel for the south and embarked at Wilmington. They landed in Anaheim on Nov. 8, 1867. Next Thursday will be the 56th anniversary of their arrival here. Daniel Kraemer settlel his family on a ranch three miles northtast of Anaheim, being the first white family to settle in that region. The town of Placentia is built on a portion of the original Kraemer ranch. Mrs. Parker lived on this ranch for six years, but on June 28, 1873, she was married to Walter M. Parker, and moved to their ranch home on East Center street. In 1877 she moved into town, and up to a year ago made her home at the corner of Broadway and Los Angeles sts. When the residence built by her daughter on West Broadway was completed, she moved into it. Mrs. Parker is survived by a daughter, Miss Ellenora Parker, who has for many years been a teacher in the Anaheim schools. She also leaves four brothers, Samuel, Benjamin and Henry Kraemer of Placentia, and Elwarl Kraemer of Olive; also two sisters, Mrs. T. S. Grimshaw and Mrs. L. E. Miller, both of this city. Funeral services were held at Backs, Terry & Campbell's parlor at 2:30 o'clock yesterday. Rev. F. W. Mitchell of Los Angeles formerly pastor of the Presbyterian Church here, assisted by Rev. Thimas Walker an Rev. Elger conducting the services. Interment Warner, captain of the state motorcycle police stationed at Santa Ana. Captain Warner made the remrk in his customry grim manner, indicating that he wasn't joking about the matter. During recent operations of the motorcycle officers in checking up headlights that need adjustment to comply with the state law, numerous motorists were given citations to attend to their headlights. After having adjustments made at some official beallight station; the motorist, I was pointed out, must bring his citation and adjustment certificate to some justice of the peace or other designated authority and have the certificate given the official stamp of approval after which the citation is released. According to Captain Warner, the citations given to motorists provide that the headlight adjustments must be made within twenty-four hours. In spite of that fact, he says, many motorists who were issued citations some days ago have not yet appeared with certivates of adjustment. Those motorists who received citations between October 15 and 25 should attend to the adjustments at once if they have not already done so, Warner warned. Otherwise, he said warrants of arrest will be issued for them. It will be remembered as being stated that Captain Warner spoke in his customary grim manner, indicating that he was not joking. Under the observation of state Traffic Inspectors George T. Gilroy and E. L. Brock, who are spending a few days with the Orange county motorcycle squad, the officers staged a demonstration of headlight adjusting Saturday night at Anaheim. Numerous motorists were halted and their headlight defects demon- ed a single rowdy act and that although he had never learned to dance he could not see the rarm in it as rir his colleagues. He said that those persons who did not like dancing were to be provided with other forms of amusement while the dance was going on. They, at least, he said could listen to the band. Numerous persons, when questioned following the meeting in many cases did not express themselves openly but only shook their heads mournfully when they learned the action of tre board. Others openly and in no soft tones complimented Mayor Gunther on his stand and it was expressed by some that should a total of opinions of the city be taken it would be found that a very small minority of the city opposed dancing.

Fullerton, Oct. 25 CATTLE TUBERCULOSIS According to a report just issued by the U. S. Department of Agriculture, nearly 5,000,000 cattle are now under supervision for the eradication of tuberculosis. The popularity of the tuberculosis test is indicated by the fact that there are 145,000 herds still on the waiting list to be tested as soon as federal inspectors can get to them. Persimmons, as well as avocados and citrus fruit, were more or less damaged by the recent heavy winds, according to $ A. White, experienced fruit buyer and member of the firm of E. A. White and company, Santa Ana. "The wind groughed down many percimons," White said, "and as a result the bottom dropped out of the market. At this time last year we were paying from eight to ten cents a pound for persimmons. Today we cannot ship them too far East. Avocados are bringing only fifteen cents, whereas last year at this time the fruit brought thirty cents per pound." Write said his firm has on hand 1,500 ponds of ripe persimmons which must be sold immediately if the grower is to make a profit. H. E. Wahlberg, Orange county farm advisor, was inclined to believe however, that much of the persimmon acreage escaped major damage, but admitted that citrus trees in some sections of the county had been blighted by the wind. "There is a oral in the matter," Wahlberg said, "and that is more attention must be paid to late fall ir- ETTE Number 3 WOMAN LAST NS ER CALLED RESIDENCE GOOD ADVICE GIVEN TO COUNTY TEACHERS Dr. Newlin of Fullerton Makes Address at Institute. "Make the man fit the job," said Dr. Thomas Newlin of the Fullerton union high school and junior college when he addressed the approximately 300 Orange county school teachers in annual institute assembly in the auditorium of the Orange union high school. Dr. Newlin's talk, the chief one of the morning, was on "The Proper Use of Intelligence Tests." Before Dr. Newlin's talk Percy Richards played the Orange high pipe organ while the teachers arose and sang "America." The Rev. M. L. Pearson, pastor of an Orange church, offered the invocation. There were two pleasing part songs by a group of Orange intermediate students and a young violinist played a southern melody. COMPANY SEEKS OIL LEASE ON SEWER FARM WEST ANAHEIM RANCH MAY BECOME OIL PRODUCING PROPERTY. Offer Made at Meeting of Trustees Thursday Night—Matter Referred to City Attorney for Investigation—Action on Ordinance Defining Drilling Zone Deferred Until Next Meeting Owing to Violent Protest—May be Submitted to Voters. F. A. Radle representative of the Coast Land Company appeared before the city trustees Thursday night and made application for an oil lease on the sewer farm owned by the city at West Anaheim. The farm contains 30 acres, and the company offers a bonus of $10 per acre, and a rental of $5 an acre per month. Mr. Radle guaranteed that, the company would begin drilling on the site within 60 days after the lease was signed. He stated that the Coast Land Company had al- Dr. Newlin's talk the chief one of the morning, was on "The Proper Use of Intelligence Tests."

There were two pleasing part songs by a group of Orange intermediate students and a young violinist played a southern melody. "The intelligence tests are not a panacea for all our education ills." Dr. Newlin said, "We don't know what knowledge or intelligence exactly is. We can discuss them, but none can tell exactly what they are. "America has taken the lead in this movement. We know how to measure the intelligence of the genius as well as that of the subnormal. These tests have demonstrated their usefulness. Standardized tests should be demanded in the schools as they are in the shops." "But you Orange county teachers must remember that you are dealing with students with intelligence far beyond normal. Orange county students are not just the average students. "We should come to know the fitness for the work by determining and knowing the mental level." Dr. Newlin said that students should not be informed of the result of the intelligence tests lest they become 'swelled in the head." He cited the case of a Fullerton girl, who was several years younger than her sister in actual age, but, according to the intelligence test, several years her senior." "That girl was nearly spoiled," the Fullerton professor declared, "She hasn't gotten over it yet." "We should give every man, woman and child a job to fit his intelligence. So far, very little along this line has been done in the schools. There ought to be some authority in our schools to tell the child what he can do. PARKS GOES TO PEN With the recommendation that he be required to serve at least three years, Vernon Parks, Garden Grove youth, was ordered sent to San Quentin for a term of from one to fourteen years. Probation granted to Parks last year was ordered set aside when Parks appeared before Superior Judge Coast Land Company appeared before the city trustees Thursday night and made application for an oil lease on the sewer farm owned by the city at West Anaheim. The farm contains 30 acres, and the company offers a bonus of $10 per acre, and a rental of $5 an acre per month. Mr. Radle guaranteed that, the company would begin drilling on the site within 60 days after the lease was signed. He stated that the Coast Land Company had already secured leases on 386 acres in the vicinity an would begin operations immediately if a lease on the city property could be secured. J. H. Raney, who accompany Mr. Radle, stated that the company would use a diamond drill in the test well, and that rapid progress would be made. The matter was referred to City Attorney Weisel for investigation. In all probability the lease will be signed and drilling on the west side will shortly begin. Action on the ordinance to create a drilling zone within the city limits, which was expected to be brought up for final consideration, was postponed until next meeting. Much opposition developed among large property owners who desired to lease to oil companies. Percy Rust made a vigorous protest against restricting the drilling anywhere within the city. He is desirous of leasing his acreage on north Palm street for drilling purposes. Several other persons were in attendance at the meeting prepared to protest against the passage of the ordinance in case it was introduced, consequently the board deemed it advisable to postpone action until the next meeting. In all probability the ordinance will be submitted to a vote of the people. WHY NOT PEACE AT HOME?

Probation granted to Parks last year was ordered set aside when Parks appeared before Superior Judge Z. B. West, seeking lenience a second time after, it was alleged, a suit of clothing and an automobile had been taken. Les Ballard, Huntington Beach, today refuted a story told Judge West last Friday by Parks, who said that he borrowed the clothes from Ballard's roommate, and that Ballard had repented of complaining against him. Ballard, in court, said that he had not considered that Parks borrowed the clothes, but thought he had stolen them. The roommate testified that he was in the room when Parks took the clothes, but that he was asleep. Parks told the court last Friday that he had also borrowed the automobile from a friend in Long Beach. The owner of the car was not in court today, but City Marshal Jack Tinsley of Huntington Beach testified that Parks, after "borrowing" the car, got rid of the license number plates and substituted a plate that he removed from another car in Santa Ana. District Attorney, A. P. Nelson addressed the court to oppose a second chance for Parks. "We must let other defendants understand that probation is not a joke," declared Nelson.
