VOLUME LIV ORANGE COUNTY LINING UP FOR SAMPLE MUCH ENTHUSIASM GREETS SAN DIEGO MAN DURING THREE DAYS TOUR Big Night Rallya Held at Fullerton, Santa Ana and Orange and Short Talks Made at a Dozen Other Points — Spoke at Kiwanis Luncheon in This City Tuesday — Imperial Ranchers Falling in Line — Candidate Will Be In Anaheim Again Next Week. Senator Ed P. Sample, candidate for the Republican nomination for congress spent three days campaigning in this county this week, beginning at Placentia, where he made an address at 10 o'clock Monday morning and winding up with a good meeting at Orlando who are well posted on the situation already see victory for him at the primary and he is winning more supporters every day. THE COAST BOULEVARD Good progress is being made on the completion of the Coast boulevard between Huntington Beach and Balboa Palisades. The work is underway now and Contractor W. F. Beal of Brawley is planning the early establishment of a contract camp just outside the city limits of Huntington Beach. At present the chief work consists in the placing of the huge conduit a mile below the city limits of Huntington Beach and in lesser conduits and culverts. Material for the big conduit is now on the ground, consisting of the concrete sections, which are 4½ feet in diameter. Also the cement has been moved out to the grounds and workmen will be kept on this job until the conduit is completed. It is a point on the highway where the Pacific Electric bridge crosses the legoon or drainage ditch to the ocean. A narrow gauge railroad track, little wider than a top track has been laid along the right of way of the high way for a distance of nearly a mile and this track is being used for the Senator Ed P. Sample, candidate for the Republican nomination for congress spent three days campaigning in this county this week, beginning at Placentia, where he made an address at 10 o'clock Monday morning and winding up with a good meeting at Orange Wednesday evening. He spoke at fifteen points in the county, three rousing night meetings being held at Fullerton on Monday evening, Santa Ana Tuesday evening and Orange Wednesday evening. Tuesday noon he was the guest of the Kiwanis club in this city and made an address at the weekly luncheon. He spoke to thousands of people during the tour of the county and left behind him a host of warm supporters. The senator is in full accord with President Coolidge and his policies of retrenchment and tax reduction and for this reason he is being received with enthusiasm by Republicans throughout the entire district. That the president endorses his candidacy is indicated by the following telegram which he received some time ago from C. Bascom Slemp, private secretary to the president: "White House, Washington- 'Hon. Ed Sample: "President requests me to express his deep appreciation and cordial thanks for the generous support you have given him. C. B. SLEMP, Secretary to the President. The Senator is also making a campaign against the Swing - Johnson all American canal project, and for this reason is receiving a surprising support in Imperial County, Congressman Swing's home. Ranchers in that county, who see bankruptcy ahead of them should the Swing project become a law are voluntarily flocking to Sample. Their land, they declare, would be mortgaged to the limit to pay for the costly canal. It is said that 85 per cent of these ranchers have taken up arms against the project and are supporting Sample. The following letter just received at this office voices the feeling there. Ed. Gazette:—"I am not slinging any mud at Phil Swing. I'm just talking common sense when I say Imperial Valley must send Senator Ed P. Sample to congress," William Far, 21 years a Valley rancher, declares in a of the concrete sections, which are 4½ feet in diameter. Also the cement has been moved out to the grounds and workmen will be kept on this job until the conduit is completed. It is a point on the highway where the Pacific Electric bridge crosses the legoon or drainage ditch to the ocean. A narrow gauge railroad track, little wider than a top track has been laid along the right of way of the high way for a distance of nearly a mile and this track is being used for the transportation of material in narrow gauge cars or dump cars from the railroad tracks to the place the material is to be used. The bridge across the Santa Ana river is progressing satisfactorily, and the county supervisors expect to open the bridge on or before October 1. At that time the highway will be ready to open all the way from Huntington Beach to Newport. This road is to become the harbor road out of Huntington Beach as it shortens the distance between Huntington Beach and the harbor many miles. It also opens three miles of ocean front to auto travel which has heretofore been inaccessible because of no road or a very poor road. The construction work on the highway and the roads built by the Standard Oil Company to wells are being utilized by autoists and the strip of beach between that city and the Santa Ana river is now accessible by these indirect roads and is being used by hundreds of people on Sundays and holidays. The old pier or pile work built for some unknown purpose affords fair fishing and fishermen are visiting that portion of the beach, as water is deeper there and affords surf fishing and casting from the old pilings. The large conduit to be placed on the Coast boulevard is being placed near the old pier. The section of ocean front that will be opened by the completion of the Coast highway between Huntington Beach and Newport is an interesting beach. Along the Santa Ana river are timbered areas affording pretty picnic places. This section is now a scene of considerable activity owing to the completion of the sewer contract for the Santa Ana, Orange and Anaheim sewer. A big construction camp is established there with a large force of men employed. The owrk and the highway work makes the district between there and the Santa Ana river assume an air of considerable activity.

I'm just talking common sense when I say Imperial Valley must send Senator Ed P. Sample to congress," William Far, 21 years a Valley rancher, declares in a letter to the Gazette denouncing the Swing-Rose all-American canal. "The Imperial farmer must send Sample to congress as the only means of defeating the extravagant and foolhardy canal project the incumbent candidate has succeeded in camouflaging into the vital Colorado development measure. "The farmers cannot afford to have such an impractical and expensive project slipped over on them. Their taxes are too high now and increased levies to pay for Swing's thirty million dollar visionary ditch would force many a dirt farmer to abandon his property. "If the 11th congressional district wants to help us save the Valley from financial ruin it must get behind the farmers and kill this dangerous canal proposition by electing Sample and with a big majority vote, too." Next Week Senator Sample expects to visit Anaheim again and arrangements will be made for him to deliver an address and he should be met with a large audience. He is making a winning campaign as he is a forceful talker and favors everything this district needs in the way of legislation to make it prosperous. He is in full accord with the administration at Washington and with the Republican platform. All Republicans who favor Coolidge and Dawes should stand by Sample. Managers of his campaign, Camp RoKiLi, the Orange County Boy Scout Camp, located in the San Bernardino Mountains has opened the fourth and last period of camp life and closed the third period. More than fifty boys are in the camp for the fourth period and will remain there until the 20th of August, at which time the Camp will officially close for the summer, and the officers and others interested will complete the masonry work on the swimming pool, so that it will be ready for next year's camp. An effort is being made to induce one of the big league ball teams to establish its winter training quarters in Anaheim. No town in the country can offer better advantages and in all probability one or more of the big teams will respond to the invitation.

"I want to advise all who can to be sure and visit the mountain resorts of California this month. The park superintendents report them free from any danger, and on account of the cool summer more agreeable to visit than usual. This is one of the finest seasons ever known. El Capitan has not been burned up, the giant trees in General Grant, Mariposa and Sequoia parks still stand and even Half Dome has proved impervious to the flames of yellow journalism. The Sierra Nevada Mountains from Lassen to Whitney were never grander."

Even in Anaheim the most progressive town in California, we have rumors that business is not as brisk as it should be and very little real estate changing hands. It is true, perhaps, that contributing causes mentioned above coupled with the warm summer time, during which period a large percentage of the population takes a slesta and goes off on a vacation, has resulted in a slump in the mercantile business and a paralysis in the real estate traffic. But this is only a temporary disturbance of the city's commercial life and when the summer vacationists all return don their working clothes and get down to business again, things will probably begin to hum in their usual brisk manner. However, Anaheim has been doing pretty well the past year in spite of handicaps that have affected other cities. According to figures just given out by E. B. Merritt, city clerk, and assessor the city has increased in assessed valuation during the past year $1,030,900. Last year the total registrar of the city was $9,085,995. This year the valuation of non-operative property is $10,486,500. The exemption aggregate $369,155. Leaving a total taxable assessment of $10,116,895. The increase was divided as follows Real Estate $67,970; Improvements $873,515; Personal property $89,415; Total $1,050,900. Two years ago when a house became vacant a dozen people were clamoring for it. Now an occasional "for rent" sign can be seen. This is not an indication that the city has lost in population however. It simply means that hundreds of new houses have been built. The registration in Anaheim for the primary election is 4400, an increase of considerably more than a thousand over that of two years ago. Counting three persons for each registered voter the population is 13,200. Anaheim is rapidly growing both in population and wealth. The registration in Fullerton is And Gives Attention to Valleolas Edward Atherton of Placentia, accompanied by his wife and family drove into town on Friday afternoon and visited with a number of friends. Mr. Atherton is the original ostrich farmer of Placentia district and for a number of years his birds were conspicuous feature of that neighborhood However, finding his ground was too valuable to be devoted to ostrich farming he disposed of his fine collection of birds and for some years past has been devoting his attention to raising Valencia oranges. He is the owner of fifty acres of fine land and is marketing a especially fine crop of fruit. Ed. as he is called, has many warm personal friends throughout this section, who are always glad to hear his cheering smiles and feel the grip of his sturdy hand. SUB-COMMITTEE REPORTS HARBOR IS JUSTIFIED Heavy Tonage From Three Counties Available for Newport Orange county harbor, as a subsidiary to Los Angeles harbor, is justified by the shipping tonnage that is available from Orange, Riverside and San Bernardino counties, in the opinion of the sub-committee on shipping of the Orange county harbor committee of fifty, as expressed in a tentative report approved by the sub-committee. According to the tentative report, which, it was expected would become the committee's final report to the committee of fifty, in Orange, Riverside and San Bernardino counties there are available to Orange county harbor outbound tonnage of 185,441 tons valued at $9,807,594 and inbound shipments totaling 350,276 tons valued at $113,459,416. The figures, the committee report says, were taken from the official report of the United States district engineer at Los Angeles. "Our committee," Huff continued, "was asked to make investigations as to the possibility of success of smaller port located in the vicinity of much larger shipping centers, as is the case of Orange county harbor in relation to Los Angeles Harbor." "Perhaps the most closely analogous case to that existing at Newport Beach is that of Houston and Texas City, both of which have been developed within recent years in competitor." Although the joint outfall sewer is not yet completed Santa Ana is attempting to assume full control of the enterprise and is issuing dictates to other cities relative to the character of the matter dumped into the pipe. The Crystal Chemical Co., of this city is the victim at which officials if Santa Ana are leveling their guns just now and an order comes from that city that the chemical plant must be cut off from sewer privileges on the ground that the waste matter is objectionable. On complaint from Santa Ana, R. F. Goudney, sanitary engineer of the state board of health, came down last week and made an investigation. It is reported that Goudney ordered the Santa Ana city council to take steps toward disconnecting the chemical plant as the waste from the alcohol factory was discoloring the water at the ocean end. At the same time City Engineer Knox of Santa Ana said complaints were being heard from residents along the route of the Anaheim line because of objectionable odors, the direct result of the sewage of the chemical concern flowing in the line. Goudney suggested that if the council at Anaheim fails to take action to prevent use of the sewer by the alcohol plant that residents of Garden Grove or some other community affected by the offensive odor, bring the matter to the attention of the district attorney and urge an injunction suit against Anaheim to enjoin the factory from discharging its wastes into the outfall sewer. It was pointed out by Knox that the right to discharge a sewage into the ocean was granted to the city of Santa Ana. Also pointing out that operation of the outfall, by vote of the other councils, was entirely in the hands of the city council, Knox said and full responsibility for the line was directly on the shoulders of the local council. "The affluence of the alcohol plant is discoloring the water in the ocean for an area ten times greater than would the sewage developed from other sources of sewage production." Knox said. "The water is so black that we are unable in the day time to work our diver in the laying of pipe at the ocean end if the outfall. The situation is seriously retarding."

FAKE FIRE STORIES INJURE STATE'S PROSPERITY Governor Richardson has just returned from a trip through the San Joaquin Valley and reports that fire stories sent out by sensational news agencies have been wildly exaggerated and have done resorts, hotels, stage lines and business generally hundreds of thousands of dollars damage. In a statement the governor said: "I made a tour of the counties in the San Joaquin Valley during the past few days and found the people indignant at the exaggerated stories of fires sent out by the yellow press. These stories have cut the travel into the Yosemite Valley, Huntington Lake, Sequoia Park and General Grant Forest nearly one half. All lines of business have been injured by fake fire stories. Hotel, Mountain resorts, forest camps, stage stores, gasoline stations and business generally have been injured many hundreds of thousands of dollars, not by the few fires, but by the wierd yarns sent out from San Francisco where there are no forests, but where certain agencies delight in making a mountain out of a mole hill and fan- Our committee," Huff continued, "was asked to make investigations as to the possibility of success of smaller port located in the vicinity of much larger shipping centers, as is the case of Orange county harbor in relation to Los Angeles Harbor." "Perhaps the most closely analagous case to that existing at Newport Beach is that of Houston and Texas City, both of which have been developed within recent years in competition with Galveston, Texas," says the tentative report. TALBERT FOR SENATOR T. B. Talbert, candidate for the Republican nomination for state senator has just returned from a tour of Riverside and Imperial counties where he was enthusiastically received by the voters. Thousands of voters in these two counties are giving him their unqualified support. In fact his candidacy was launched by Republican leaders in Riverside county and these men are now heartily supporting him. He will sweep Orange county by a heavy majority and indications now are that he will be nominated by an overwhelming vote. Riverside county has no moral right to name the senator from this district this year. If Riverside insists upon the turn about policy which has prevailed in the district for a number of years past, why does it not agree to the naming of a senator from Imperial county. It seems to us that Imperial county has more claims upon the nomination than has Riverside county, but as Orange county will be a senatorial district by itself we are going to elect Tom Talbert senator and then Riverside and Imperial counties may settle their political differences by themselves. Talbert for senator, every time. CAUSE NO INCONVENIENCE Enrollment for the Deefnse Test of September 12 will not cause any inconvenience to the citizens enrolling according to a statement issued by Major General Charles G. Morton, commanding the Ninth Corps Area.

Enlargement of the county area served by the joint outfall sewer line became possible with the receipt by the council of a request from officials of the La Habra and Buena Park districts requesting permission to join in the general enterprise. The two districts asked for six and one quarter interest in the joint outfall and the treatment plant, under conditions similar to those which Garden Grove and Placentia have been admitted to the joint underaking. Engineers of the cities involved were of the opinion that the two districts should have only four per cent according to a written communication sent to the council by Clyde Bishop, attorney for the joint councils.

JETTY NOT NEEDED Construction of an east jetty at the mouth of Newport Harbor was held by United States army engineers to be superfluous because the present sand bar now in the harbor entrance at Roeky Point represents all the sand that can accumulate in the channel, and when that is dredged out, the harbor will be permanently free of sand obstruction. This explanation of the decision by army engineers that the present west jetty at the harbor mouth provides all the protection necessary was given to the board of supervisors for the first time today by George T. Peabody, chairman of the sub-committee on lands of the harbor committee of fifty. Peabody's explanation was given during a discussion of a report prepared by his committee regarding harbor tide lands. Captain Hughes, army engineer spent six weeks studying the situation. Peabody said, and came to the positive conclusion that when the present sand bar was removed there would be no more sand to take its place, the coast line presenting a rugged, rocky formation from that point to Laguna Beach. Leakage of sand through the present west jetty, it was stated however, must be remedied. Peabody added that Major C. T. Leeds, harbor engineer, disagreed with the view of the army engineers regarding the need of an east jetty.

Orange county will have approximately three miles of frontage on Newport Harbor not involved in controversy as to title, and might, through litigation, secure considerable more frontage, according to a formal report of the committee of fifty's sub-committee on lands. In the opinion of the county supervisors with whom the report was discussed today preliminary to its filling the committee has compiled a most comprehensive statement at Newport harbor. The report was read by GeoT. Peabody, chairman of the sub committee. Besides describing, the extent and location of tide lands not involved in title controversy, the report dealt with frontage where the question of ownership is not clearly settled. About 385 acres, with a two mile water frontage is conceded to the county in the east basin, the report said, with about 5000 feet of frontage in prospect in the west basin. The report omitted recommendation regarding lands west of the railroad, where it said, the boundaries of the city of Newport eBach have been defini­tely established. That a survey be made to determine whether a certain tract in the upper bay comes under the ownership of the Irvine Ranch company or is properly swamp and over flow land was recommended. The committee suggests that the title to tideland at the extreme upper end of the bay, now claimed by the Irvine company, be decided be litigation.

The four rooms in this building will open next Monday but will have a month's vacation during walnut harvest, as most of the pupils assist their parents in picking walnuts. CALIFORNIA'S TANK California's National Guard Tank company is today equipped with the most recent type of modern army equipment. The material just furnished by the United tSates to the 40th Tank company at Salinas comprises eight six ton, two man whippet tanks valued at $120,000. The whippet tanks, which have a speed of about seven miles per hour, are adapted for use on rough terrain and can easily negotiate trenches seven feet in width. Each tank has an octagonal, robed armor plate turret which can be rotated 360 degrees. Four o fthe tanks are armed with Browning machine guns and three with 37 mm cannon. The company commander's tank, which is unarmed, is completely equipped for radio communication. A tank of this type for offensive purposes, under certain conditions approximates in fighting value, 50 infantrymen. It is designed to follow the infantry and assist in mopping up trenches and dugouts, overpowering machine gun nests and small points and breaking down wire entanglements. With the addition of these tanks, the total value of the equipment furnished by the Federal government, now in the hands of California Guard is more than $2,600,000. In addition, last year the Federal government expended for pay, training and other equipment of the California National Guard, $656,595.
