Mr. and Mrs. Fred Backs and Miss Florence Backs took a trip to Redondo on Sunday, where they enjoyed a dip in the plunge. Mrs. Nellie E. Terry, who has been ill with a severe cold which settled in the bronchial tubes, is much improved and will soon be able to be out again. Almost an inch of rain fell Friday evening, and other slight showers have brought the season's total to slightly over five inches. Men who prophesied much rain for March, after glancing over the left shoulder at the new moon, were right. Our hat is off to the moon. Friends of the American Legion in Sonoma county are anxious for the veterans' organization to lease the land formerly occupied by the Women's Industrial Farm at Sonoma for the establishment of an orphanage for the care of children of deceased World War veterans. The Sonoma residents are against the re-establishment of the woman's farm and are eager for the Legion to acquire the property. Dr. Clara Bakehouse, osteopathic physician, has moved her offices to the Colonial Apartments, 149 North Lemon street. Henry and Earl Brunnet and two girl companions were arrested in front of the California theatre Monday night on an intoxication charge. The two young men were lodged in jail, but the girls were sent to a hotel. The next day Henry Brunnet was fined $100 for having liquor in his possession, and his brother was assessed $25 for being drunk. David Yorba, one of the oldest native residents of Orange county, is dead. He was born at the town of Yorba, 63 years ago, and his entire life was spent in this neighborhood. He was the son of Prudencio Yorba and the grandson of Bernardo Yorba, the patriarch of the family, who obtained a Spanish grant to 65,000 acres of land and established a home here many years before Anaheim was born. David Yorba was a bachelor, therefore he leaves no descendants, but many relatives and friends are grieving over his departure.

STORE ANAHEIM GAZETTE Mr. and Mrs. W. K. Humbert and little daughter, Janice, and Mrs. G. H. Bailey of Phoenix, who came to California in their machine a couple of weeks ago, departed on Sunday for their Arizona home, after a pleasant visit with relatives in this city and Los Angeles. William Renner has purchased the interest of his partner, Jacob Lakeman, in the Lakeman & Renner grocery store at Center and Lemon streets. This is the oldest grocery store in the city, having flourished for many years under the management of H. A. Dickel. The Gazette household is enjoying a box of wonderful apples sent by T. J. Brown, editor of the Grandview Herald, of Grandview, Wash. The apples were grown near Grandview, in the famous Yakima valley, and there are none finer grown anywhere in the world. Mr. Brown is a former resident of Anaheim, and until early this year was connected with The Gazette. In January Mr. Brown purchased the Grandview Herald of Grandview, Wash., and left for that place to take charge of the paper. NEW FILM BASED ON LIFE AT HOLLYWOOD Anna Q. Nilsson and Lewis Stone Co-featured in Entertaining Vamp Picture Something to get excited about—a motion picture without a "juvenile" or a flapper! This is "Inez From Hollywood," the First National production which shows at the California theatre for Friday and Saturday. The principal roles are played by Anna Q. Nilsson, as Inez, and Lewis S. Stone, as Stewart Cuyler. This is in line with the very praiseworthy tendency shown by the most intelligent producers to cast in their leading roles actors and actresses, rather than merely pretty faces and youthful inexperience. Not that Anna Q. isn't beautiful enough to satisfy the most critical in the role of Hollywood's reigning vamp. Stone has an ideal role as a millionaire man-about-town who is wise enough to escape from the siren's toils, only to fall in love with her younger sister. The sister is played by Mary Astor, and other members of the cast include Laurence Wheat, Rose Dione, Snitz Edwards, Harry Depp, Ray Hallor and E. H. Calvert. The picture is, primarily, an intimate view into the hearts and lives of the Hollywood film folk, and as such, will be very popular. Directed by Alfred E. Green, who recently performed the same office for "In Hollywood With Potash and Perlmutter," it demonstrates Green's versatility. Whereas the latter picture was roaring comedy, "Inez" is the truest and sincerest drama of a woman's heart.

Eddy Stricken With Heart Failure at His Los Angeles Home Stricken with a heart attack while attending a patient to whom he was called at midnight, Dr. George S. Eddy of 2823 South Vermont avenue, Los Angeles, died at his home at 5 a.m. Sunday. He was 72 years of age, was an obstetrical specialist, and had practiced in Los Angeles 31 years. Dr. Eddy had not been well for several days and his family tried to prevent him from taking the call, but he insisted upon going. Taken ill, he was removed to his home in an ambulance. Dr. Eddy was born in Lee county, Illinois, and received his medical education at the College of Physicians and Surgeons at Chicago. Ill. He was a member of Palestine Lodge of Masons, the higher York and Scottish Rite Masonic bodies and Al Maalkah Temple, Mystic Shrine. He was owner of several ranches and much real estate in the city. He leaves his widow, Mrs. Inez L. Eddy, and one daughter, Mrs. Vida V. Kahler. Dr. Eddy was a practicing physician in Anaheim in the early days, but moved to Los Angeles many years ago. He is remembered by all the old-timers here. MAY FIRE JUSTICE OF HUNTINGTON BEACH Supervisors Charge C. W. Warner With Collecting Unearned Money Acting on information to the effect that C. W. Warner, justice of the peace at Huntington Beach, had collected office rent from the county while he received free space in the city hall, the board of supervisors has authorized District Attorney A. P. Nelson to collect $200 said to have been paid the justice and to institute DUTTON CANDIDATE FOR HIGH SCHOOL TRUSTEE Prominent Rancher and Avocado Grower Is in the Race Earl C. Dutton has announced himself as a candidate for member of the high school board of trustees from the Loara district, contesting the seat of Eli Sparks, whose term expires this spring. Sparkes will be a candidate for re-election, as will also H. E. Carner of Katella, who is being opposed by Dr. Harpster. Dutton is a prominent rancher of the Westside, and is one of the pioneer avocado growers of the county. He Supervisors Charge C. W. Warner With Collecting Unearned Money Acting on information to the effect that C. W. Warner, justice of the peace at Huntington Beach, had collected office rent from the county while he received free space in the city hall, the board of supervisors has authorized District Attorney A. P. Nelson to collect $200 said to have been paid the justice and to institute proceedings to oust Judge Warner from office. Judge Warner has collected $10 a month from the county as rental for the last 20 months, according to County Auditor W. C. Jerome, while the supervisors say he has maintained offices in the city hall free of charge during this period. Jerome added he is withholding last month's check of $10 from Judge Warner and will hold this month's also. District Attorney Nelson is of the opinion, he said, that if the justice wished to receive this money he would be forced to institute the action himself. Proceedings to vacate the office, however, have not been started by the prosecutor, he declared, adding that such action may be filed any time. The city council of Huntington Beach recently forced Warner from his office as city recorder, following the recent country-wide dry raids. Judge Warner is known to be prepared to fight back at his accusers, and made it known that if he quits his post it will be because he is forced to do so. What's funnier than a man trying to skin a lodge brother in a business deal? Earl G. Dutton has announced himself as a candidate for member of the high school board of trustees from the Loara district, contesting the seat of Eli Sparks, whose term expires this spring. Sparkes will be a candidate for re-election, as will also H. E. Carner of Katella, who is being opposed by Dr. Harpster. Dutton is a prominent rancher of the Westside, and is one of the pioneer avocado growers of the county. He is vice-president of the California Avocado Association. For a number of years he has been a member of the Republican county central committee, and has taken a prominent part in public affairs. His friends in the Loara district who know him intimately believe he is qualified in every respect for the important office, and have induced Lim to make the race. REPUBLICAN STUDY CLUB The Republican Study Club met on Friday afternoon at the home of Mrs. N. H. White. The meeting was quite well attended, the ladies being very enthusiastic over the course of study adopted, being the study of the Constitution as outlined by Florence Rudick Boys of Washington, D.C., and also current politics. Under the leadership of the president, Mrs. Terry, the club promises to become one of the most popular institutions in the city, seemingly filling a long-felt want. The club will meet in the morning on the first Friday in the month. The April meeting will be at the home of Mrs. H. M. Adams. An ambitious wife is many a man's self-starter.

Carho is being opposed FIGURES INDIGATE PROSPEROUS CONDITION Showing of Southern California Edison Co. for Month of January One of the most accurate methods of showing whether general business conditions are improving is from the earning statements of your public utilities. This is particularly true of the Southern California Edison Company, whose electric service is so interwoven with the industrial, commercial and agricultural life of Southern and Central California. The Edison company's January earnings show an exceedingly healthy growth over January, 1924, as may be seen from the following earning statement just issued by the company: Comparative Earnings Statement—Month of January, 1925 Showing of Southern California Edison Co. for Month of January One of the most accurate methods of showing whether general business conditions are improving is from the earning statements of your public utilities. This is particularly true of the Southern California Edison Company. Comparative Earnings Statement—Month of January, 1925 1925 1924 Increase % Gross earnings $1,813,045.66 $1,669,043.39 $144,902.27 9 Expenses 659,670.24 692,869.86 9 Taxes 176,815.06 178,882.94 Total expenses and taxes 836,485.30 871,752.79 *35,267.49 4 Total net income 977,460.36 797,290.00 180,160.76 25 Fixed charges 424,211.57 409,776.72 14,434.85 4 Balance $553,248.79 $387,513.88 165,734.91 43 * Decrease. It will be noticed that the gross earnings increased 9 per cent, expenses decreased 4 per cent, while net income increased 23 per cent, and balance available for dividends and depreciation increased 43 per cent. Notwithstanding the subnormal water conditions during 1924, this company's sales of electric energy increased 15 per cent over 1923, and with the abnormal operating expenses due to producing a large amount of power by steam; the balance available for dividends (including the contingency reserve provided in advance for low water conditions) was 3.6 times the requirements on all preferred stock outstanding during the year. Based on average rainfall, the balance available for dividends would have been nearly six times the preferred stock dividend requirements. This year the rainfall and snow in the high Sierras is already in excess of average conditions at this time of the year, which points to a very prosperous year for this great electric utility. The Edison company, while it is carrying on one of the greatest construction jobs in the world with consequent heavy yearly financing, has so arranged its program for bringing in new power units as needed that its increase in capitalization each year is offset by corresponding earning power, thus keeping the company on a sound basis. A sidelight on the increasing prosperity of Southern and Central California is reflected in some junior financing just put through by the Edison company. Ten million dollars of their 7 per cent cumulative preferred stock was offered for sale on December 15, 1924, and to date over eight million of the issue has been sold to the investing public, chiefly in Southern and Central California.
