HARBOR BONDS ENDORSED BY A. C. OF C. FAVOR POSTPONEMENT OF ELECTION UNTIL AFTER THE SUMMER MONTHS Recommend Appointment of a Committee of Fifty, Ten from Each Supervisor District, to Feel the Pulse of the People and Boost for the Bonds—Committee Also to Decide when Time for Action is Ripe, and Fix Date for Election. A bond issue of $1,500,000 for the continuation of work at Newport harbor was endorsed by the associated Chambers of Commerce in annual session at Santa Ana. It was the opinion of the members, however, that the election should not be called until fall, as the contenances of the people just now appeared to be turned away from heavy bond issues. It known then whether the engineers were favorable or unfavorable to the project. Were the committee of fifty to complete its report and recommendations before the engineers submit their report, a factor would be presented in influencing to some extent the action of the engineers or congress in the matter of an appropriation. "If the government knows that it is the intention of the county to expend a million and a half dollars additional in the harbor improvement, I feel certain that an appropriation would be made," said the engineer. Declaring that there already has been too much delay in improvement of the bay, Major Leeds said that Standard Oil officials had told him that had the harbor been available the company would have located at the harbor the big shipping plant it has established at El Segundo. He told of other opportunities that had been available to the bay, but were passed up because the facilities were not sufficient. Answering a question, Leeds said that army engineers never had questioned the physical feasibility of the harbor, but had questioned the possibility of developing commerce justifying the harbor. That, he said, was due to the fact that the engineers were not fully conversant with the A bond issue of $1,500,000 for the continuation of work at Newport harbor was endorsed by the associated Chambers of Commerce in annual session at Santa Ana. It was the opinion of the members, however, that the election should not be called until fall, as the contenances of the people just now appeared to be turned away from heavy bond issues. It was further recommended that the supervisors oppoint a committee of fifty men—ten from each supervisor district, to sound the people, ascertain the sentiment for or against the proposition in each district, and if the situation looked promising after the canvass to fix a date for the election. Speaking later relative to the duties of the committee, Tom Talbert, chairman of the board of supervisors, said: "It is expected that the members of the committee, in addition to making investigations upon which to base recommendations, will feel out the sentiment of the public in their respective communities as to the possibility of success of a bond issue. If the committeemen do this, and there is no reason to believe they will not, the final report of the committee should virtually reflect the sentiment of the voters of the county. If their recommendation is favorable to the issue, it would be equivalent to a definite declaration that the issue would be carried." The committee would in all probability be the nucleus of an effective organization to promote the interests of the bond issue. Talbert said, in stating that after he election he committee would continue effective in the capacity of an advisory board to the supervisors in direction of the harbor operations. Almost the entire session was taken up with a discussion of the harbor. Major C. T. Leeds, engineer for the Orange county harbor commission and former army engineer for the Los Angeles district, recounted the early history of Newport bay, when boats formerly discharged cargoes at what formerly was known as Old Newport, located at the foot of the bluffs of the country club. He touched upon the work accomplished by the county, the city of Newport Beach and private interests. Tentative estimates of cost of further improvements necessary and which Major Leeds said he believed has established at El Segundo. He told of other opportunities that had been available to the bay, but were passed up because the facilities were not sufficient. Answering a question, Leeds said that army engineers never had questioned the physical feasibility of the harbor, but had questioned the possibility of developing commerce justifying the harbor. That, he said, was due to the fact that the engineers were not fully conversant with the supporting territory, but the visit here recently of some of the engineers had opened their eyes to extent of the territory that would be served by a finished harbor. MBS. NEBELUNG TELLS IMPRESSIONS OF NEW YORK Anaheim Lady Meets Madame Semrich at Her Brother's Home. Mrs. Max Nebelung, who left here some weeks ago on an extended visit in the east, has written an interesting letter to this office from New York where she is now staying with her brother, Prof. H. T. Finck. Mr. Finck, a former resident of Anaheim, now holds an eminent position in musical circles. Following is Mrs. Nebelung's letter: New York, March 22. Ed. Gazette:—I thought perhaps all my friends would like to hear what my impression of New York is, after being here one week. The second day I had the pleasure of meeting Madame Semrich, the great singer, at the home of my brother, H. T. Finck. She is a very charming lady. I have seen two operas, "Walkire," which is too deep for me, and "Carmen," which was very delightful, and heard the largest and best orchestra of the world in Carnegie hall, which was also grand. Between the acts I let my eyes roam, and noticed that about half the ladies had grey hair, and half the men were bald headed. No bobbed hair or painted faces to notice. I was also in three large stores on Fifth avenue, and noticed none there. The worst feature here is the walking. I tell my friends we do not walk in California—we ride in automobiles. Surely everybody does not ride, said one. "Yes they do," I replied. "If we own a house we mortgage it and buy an auto. If we do not own a house..."

He touched upon the work accomplished by the county, the city of Newport Beach and private interests. Tentative estimates of cost of further improvements necessary and which Major Leeds said he believed should be the basis upon which the proposed bond election should be considered, were given as follows: Construction of east jetty, $180,000; strengthening the west jetty, $30,000; extending the latter jetty, $320,000; dredging the entrance, $500,000 dredging the main county channel to a depth of twenty-five feet, $575,000; deepening the turning basin, $40,000; building of wharves, $60,000; construction of warehouses and purchase of equipment, $15,000; belt railroad, $100,000. Ten per cent added to this for overhead and miscellaneous expenses, he said, would make the total $2,000,000. It was not likely that the government would make an initial appropriation for work inside the harbor, he said, but it was possible he added, that government assistance would be made for a jetty or work at the entrance. It was Major Leeds's opinion that possibly the government would appropriate $400,000 or $500,000 for entrance work, but he would be satisfied he declared if only $250,000 was appropriated. He was of the opinion that if the government once made an appropriation it would be easier to get further sums. It might be better, Major Leeds added, to hold the bond election off until the report of the re-survey of the harbor was submitted, as it would be The worst feature here is the walking. I tell my friends we do not walk in California—we ride in automobiles. Surely everybody does not ride, said one. "Yes they do," I replied. "If we own a house we mortgage it and buy an auto. If we do not own a house we ride in some other person's car. But we certainly do not walk." One lady told me New York is larger than London. That was easy to believe, I replied, because New Yorkers had grabbed up all the neighboring cities, they did not build it. I also told her that within ten years Los Angeles would be bigger than New York, and we are building it ourselves. I am not finding fault with New York, but I must boost California. I want to see all I can, and what I have seen has been very interesting. I saw snow nearly all the way across after leaving Denver. In Denver I walked in it. The weather is not cold here now. I shall visit a niece here and make a long visit in Syracuse on my way home. I shall also stop at my birthplace, Bethel, Mo., and visit my mother's grave. Hoping everyone is well in dear old Anaheim, I remain. Yours truly, Josephine Nebelung Edward D. Turner, aged 34, an oil worker of Seal Beach, died at the sanitarium Friday evening. Funeral services were held Sunday afternoon at Backs, Terry & Campbell's chapel. The body was taken to Los Angeles Monday where it was cremated.

Adjoining this there will be an independent automobile salon, which will combine, in exquisite detail, the very best of all of the auto exhibitions that have been held throughout the state. In the big citrus tent spaces have already been reserved by the leading agricultural, horticultural, and citrus associations of the state, so that with the opening on May 16th there will be housed a great exposition, telling in physical details of the wonders of California. More than ever before, the entertainment features for this year have been given careful consideration, so that in addition to the educational features and exhibits there will be a constant round of pleasurable entertainment features. Gastia's Royal Italian Band, with a magnificent ballet and a series of noted operatic stars will be one of the feature attractions in the big citrus hall both afternoon and evening. In addition to this arrangements have been completed with one of the leading California carnival companies for the big lot, where mirth will reign during the entire life of the show.

Friday morning only a small percentage of the people remembered that it was election day, and those who did recall it were apathetic and uninterested. There was no contest on either board, and the three retiring members, all of whom were standing for re-election, had given satisfaction in their administration of affairs. About the middle of the afternoon, however, some person, who sees things where there is nothing to see, whispered that a certain society was preparing to rush in a large vote at the last minute and elect two of its faction to the high school board. This report spread like a broadcasted radio message, and electrified the people. It was not quite clear to everybody whether the enemy was the Ku Klux or the Catholics, but whoever it was an underhanded game was being played, and the player must be swatted. Automobiles were speedily put into requisition for the purpose of getting the voters to the polls, and soon the election officers, who had been enjoying a peaceful day, found themselves overwhelmed with work. Men and women patiently stood in line for hours, and when their turn came and their votes were deposited, felt that they had struck one blow at a menace. They were not exactly clear what the menace was, but they had given it a solar plexus blow, just the same. The vote was the largest ever cast in Anaheim at a school election, and when it was counted discovery was made that the menace was a myth. All three of the old members were re-elected by an overwhelming vote. Following are the figures: High School H. M. Adams 1096 Chas. H. Mann 1072 E. H. Motcalt 8 Thomas Walker 6 Grammar School E. H.

Orange county's valencia crop will start into the markets about May 1, with market conditions that warrant the prediction that prices obtaining on this fruit will be better than has been the record on the navel crop, now being marketed, according to L. D. Palmer, manager of the Orange County Fruit Exchange. While asserting that he was optimistic as to the price outlook, Palmer said he would at this time make no prediction as to what quotations may be expected. Declaring that navels have run to small sizes, the manager said that valencias would rule small also. He added, however, that he did not believe the small sizes would be as difficult to dispose of as has been the case with the navels. "The California Fruit exchange by advertising and other methods pushed the sale of the smaller fruit of the navel crop and we will benefit by reason of the fact that consumers have become more or less accustomed to the undersized fruit," said the manager. "We will follow the navel with the valencia and the small sizes, in my opinion, will move more readily than would have been the case had the navels been large." Statting that the valencia crop is as large in the state as the navel, Palmer said that valencias would not have to fight competition from Florida, as the fruit from the latter state would be off the market by the time the coming crop of valencias is available. Responds to Call for Help and Prevents Spread of Fire—Loss Estimated at $35,000, with $21,000 Insurance. Toyland, situated at 139 North Los Angeles street, the largest store of its kind in Southern California, was almost totally destroyed by a fire which broke out about ten o'clock Friday morning. Curtains covering the entrance to the office of Herman Efker, proprietor of the store, caught fire when a gust of wind blew them too close to a gas heater. The blaze was instantly communicated to a large quantity of masquerade costumes hanging on the wall and to a table of celluloid goods nearby. E. A. Beard, manager of the telephone company, first noticed the flames. He tore the curtains down and seized an emergency fire extinguisher, but for some reason the apparatus refused to function. Mr. Efker fought his way out of the office through flames and smoke and turned in an alarm. The flames spread with incredible swiftness owing to the quantity of celluloid and other inflammable material in the stock, and the place was instantly filled with a dense smoke. Three employees, Miss Edith Hayward, Miss Ennice Rainey, and Mrs. J. W. Pendleton, made their way out with difficulty. Miss Hayward, who was on the second floor, was cut off from the stairway and went down a fire escape in the rear. The fire started in the rear of the large salesroom, and immediately communicated with two frame warehouses in the rear. These were filled with toys, novelty goods, dishes, etc. The firemen reached the scene two minutes after the alarm was sent in, but these buildings were roaring furnaces when they arrived. Several streams of water were turned on but for a time they failed to check the flames, and when it appeared that in spite of the heroic efforts of the department the flames would communicate with neighboring buildings, a call was sent to Fullerton for aid. A truck from that city responded and was on the ground within a few minutes. It was hooked onto a hydrant at Lemon and Chartres, and soon had a stream playing on the fire. After an hour's hard work the flames were subdued, and the last vistage of fire extinguished, but Toyland was a blackened and water-soaked ruin. Three firemen received injuries, but none of a serious nature. B. D. McAlen was a lastling... High School H. M. Adams ... 1096 Chas. H. Mann ... 1072 E. H.

Elliott ... 1 Late in the afternoon friends of William Chambers, who had served for many years on the board, began writing his name on the ballot, although he was not a candidate. This probably gave rise to the rumor that some faction was trying to catch the voters asleep at the switch, and caused the stampede. A hundred and nineteen votes were cast for Mr. Chambers. ANAHEIM'S GREAT SHOW California's Blue Ribbon Citrus event, the Fourth Annual California Valencia Orange Show will be held in Anaheim, California this year from May 16th to 25th inclusive, and according to the present plans of the Board of Directors will be the most comprehensive fruit, industrial and automobile exhibit ever attempted in the state. Italian Renaissance will be the motif for this year's event. All of the manifold beauties of sunny Italy from the snow capped mountains to the fertile valleys will be pictured by the scenic artist, so that the huge tents housing the exhibition will be transformed into a vertiable replica of sunny Italy. The show, this year will be more than an ordinary exhibit of the citrus industry.

Another hundred thousand dollar permit for the steel work will be taken out later. Excavation for the building, which has been hampered some by the rains, is still in progress. Stating that the valencia crop is as large in the state as the naval, Palmer said that valencias would not have to fight competition from Florida, as the fruit from the latter state would be off the market by the time the coming crop of valencias is available. The latter, he said, however, would have competition from deciduous fruits and be added that this competition may be more severe than usual because of the small sized fruit. "There are so many angles to the price proposition that it is difficult at this time to even predict prices for the valencias," said the exchange manager. And then he stressed the point that the valencias did not have the weather conditions the navel has to contend with. In the summer there are no blizzards to tie up transportation and interfere with getting the fruit to the market, he said. Palmer added that the association and exchanges now are making estimates of the valencia crop and that figures for each exchange and for all the state probably would be available this week. In advance of the assembling of this data, Palmer would not make an estimate as to the valencia crop in the district covered by the Orange County Fruit exchange. One of the frame warehouses destroyed was a pioneer building. It housed Anaheim's first restaurant, and stood on the street in its younger days.

CONVENTION COMING The Fourth Annual California Valencia Orange Show is to be more than a citrus fruit exhibit, as is indicated today by reports received from various organizations, who are planning to hold their annual conventions in Anaheim during the life of the Orange Show. On May 21st the California Editors Association will meet in Anaheim, and on May 17th there will be the first Annual Industrial Land Convention, held under the direction of the eighth division of the California Real Estate Association. On this same day there will be the meeting of the Southern California Secretaries Association, representing more than one hundred fifty Chamber of Commerce of the South Land. The Orange Show Directors and the Anaheim Chamber of Commerce are making elaborate plans for the entertainment of their guests, who will come from all sections of California. 2 MORE NAMES ADDED TO LIST FOR TRUSTEE EFFORTS OF RENNER AND WILLIAMS TO PULL OUT UNAVAILING City Attorney Weisel, Decides that They Must Go on the Ballot—Decision Unpopular with Some of the Opposing Candidates—Eleven Men Now Making the Race for Four Seats at the Council Table—Merry Contest Is On.

CELEBRATES 83d BIRTHDAY Captain C. S. Troutman celebrated his 83d birthday Monday, and although to a youngster this looks like a hoary age, the Captain insists that he is 83 years young. Mr. Troutman is one of the few remaining veterans of the civil war in this region. He was born in Pennsylvania, but in an early day moved to Iowa. When the civil war broke out he enlisted in the 6th Iowa Volunteer Infantry, and served his country four years. At the close of the war he engaged in farming, and still owns a large farm in the Hawkeye state. Feeling themselves able to cease hard labor and enjoy a rest he and Mrs. Troutman came to Anaheim fourteen years ago, and have since made this their home. Many friends extend congratulations to the Captain and wish him many more birthdays. BOY SCOUT NEWS Outline of Troop 1 Activities for Coming Week By Tom Kuchel, Editor Last Monday evening, Troop 1 had an election. Beginning at Senior Patrol Leader, we went on down the line to bugler. The individual patrols next met and elected their Patrol leaders and assistants... Following this election half an hour's study for tests came. Many are on their way up the ladder of scouting all the way from tenderfoot to eagle. A three day hike was outlined for Easter vacation and upon this trip second class scouts will endeavor to go on a fourteen mile hike which is a necessary first class scout requirement. Many future scouts in the troop are wondering what will happen at initiation night which is scheduled for about the third Monday in April. The "Mysterious Cave" will probably make a lasting impression on some of them. Seats at the Council Table—Merry Contest is On. Interest in the city election was further stimulated Monday by the announcement that O. H. Renner and Clyde Williams were still candidates for trustee, and that their names would be printed on the ballot. These gentlemen were both nominated by petition, Renner for the long term and Williams for two years. They were nominated in accordance with law, all the formalities being adhered to, each filing an affidavit with the clerk that he would serve if elected. Later each man, for reasons of his own, withdrew by handling a written notice to the clerk, but it appears that all official actions these days are so hedged about with complexities and red tape that the more announcement by a man that he is not a candidate is insufficient. City Attorney Hans Weisel gave it as his opinion that the names must go on the ballot. District Attorney Nelson was of the same opinion, and precedents are cited to uphold these opinions. In accordance with the city attorney's decision, City Clerk Merritt immediately got in touch with the printers who are furnishing the ballots, and directed that the names of Renner and Williams be printed thereon. This latest development is not pleasing to some of the other candidates. Some of them imagine they see a colored man in woodpile. The votes that Renner and Williams will poll would do somebody else a heap of good in a race which everybody acknowledges is going to be neck and neck. That these gentlemen will each poll a heavy vote is acknowledged, but where their strength would go if they were not in the race is a matter of conjecture. There are now eleven candidates in the field, with four seats to fill. They are: Long term—Albert H. Papa, William Stark, O. H. Renner, E. H. Metcalf, Emory E. Knipe. Short term—John H. Cook, A. A. Slabaack, Howard E. Gates; Clyde Williams, J. E. Shumacher; Dean W. Hasson. There has been some criticism of the officials because the names of Messrs Renner and Williams were ordered printed on the ballot but it appears they are merely obeying the law.

JAP TRAFFIC ORDERS While the traffic cop in Southern California may believe he has all the woe in the world for his portion, a translation of the Japanese traffic regulations just received by the Automobile Club of Southern California gives the American traffic cop a chance to cheer up a bit and perhaps to smile. Under the caption "Rules of the Road in Japan" is given the following translation for the guidance of American tourists: "At the rise of the hand of a police-man stop rapidly. Do not pass him by or otherwise disrespect him. Whenever a passenger of the foot hove in sight tootle the horn trumpet to him melodiously at first. If he still obstacles your passage tootle him with vigor and express by word of the mouth the warning. 'Hi, hi.' 'Beware of the wandering horse that he shall not take fright as you pass by him. Do not explode the exhaust box at him. Go soothingly by, or stop by the roadside till he pass away. Give big space to the festive dog that make sport in the roadway. Avoid entanglement of dog with your calf, Emory E. Knipe. Short term—John H. Cook, A. A. Slabaok, Howard E. Gates; Clyde Williams, J. E. Shumacher; Dean W. Hasson. There has been some criticism of the officials because the names of Meerss Renner and Williams were ordered printed on the ballot but it appears they are merely obeying the law. City Attorney Weisel studied the statutes and consulted attorneys in Santa Ana and Los Angeles, who are authorities on the election laws, relative to the situation, and it was the unanimous verdict of those competent to interpret the law, that names once certified for the ballot could not be withdrawn. Anyhow, the average voter is not worrying about the matter. If Renner and Williams are elected the general belief is that we will have two good men on the board. BANDIT LOST HIS NERVE Over in Santa Ana recently a bold, bad bandit met a peaceful citizen on a dark night and a deserted street. The bandit flourished a revolver serval times then hissed in his victim face: "Stick up your hands, and be dad-burned quick about it!" "Damfile do it!" answered the peaceful citizen. "Then gimme two-bits to get something to eat." "You get to hades away from here!" yelled the peaceful citizen, starting toward the hold-up man.
