Many thousands have visited the show and gone away declaring that this festival in honor of King Valencia is the most beautiful thing that ever happened, and many thousands are yet to come who will render the same verdict.

Music Lovers Holds First First meeting of the Lovers' Club was held the visitor to the Fifth Annual California Valencia Orange Show now in progress, while his ear drinks in the seductive strains of Italian melody, rendered by the Santa Monica Italian band. Many thousands have visited the show and gone away declaring that this festival in honor of King Valencia is the most beautiful thing that ever happened, and many thousands are yet to come who will render the same verdict. The finest specimens of the golden orange that ever sprung from the bosom of Mother Earth are on exhibition, and the feature displays are masterpieces of art. After subsidizing the man at the ticket window, passing through the great triumphal archway, delivering his pasteboard to the doorkeeper, successfully running the gauntlet of the men selling programs of the day's entertainment, the visitor finds himself at the entrance of the great citrus tent. He is bewildered by the sight, and wonders where he will begin. Fifteen hundred lights of high candlepower are burning day and night and brilliantly illuminate the great canvas, bringing into prominence the magnificent colors of the decorations. If he is an orange grower, he probably gives his first attention to the fruit displayed by the various packing houses of the Valencia district. Ten thousand square feet of oranges are on display along the walls of the big tent, and all are of the first fruits of the land. They all belong to King Valencia's family, and only an expert could decide which display was the best. Immediately in front of the entrance confronting the visitor when he first steps in, is the Fullerton feature display. It is a huge cornucopia, resting on a mound of oranges, and it is vomiting gladioli and other beautiful flowers for which Orange county is famous. To the right is a splendid Moorish tower composed of oranges, lemons and grapefruit. This is the exhibit of the Randolph Marketing Company and is advertising the famous Bulldog brand which that company markets exclusively. Seated on a revolving platform on the ground floor of the tower is an imitation buldog, and he looks so natural that visitors expect to see him rush forth from one of the four doors and sample somebody's leg. It is a magnificent structure. On the left of Fullerton is the display of the Elephant orchards. This is a great pyramid of oranges, surmounted by an Egyptian vase that probably was gew in King Tut's time. The vase is 10 feet high. A miniature elephant rests on each corner of the pedestal which supports the pyramid. The enterprising city of Brea, which at the last show carried off the supreme honors, apparently was determined to repeat itself, as that city's display is one of the most unique in the show. There must be a genius or two in the Brea Chamber of Commerce. This display is an orange—a huge golden orange, 16 feet in diameter, with a slice cut off of one side. The interior is a panorama of purple hills and snow-capped mountains, of green and gold orange groves, and of oil derricks. In the foreground of the picture a pump is industriously lifting oil from the bowels of the earth in midst of an orange that ever sprung from the bosom of Mother Earth are on exhibition, and the feature displays are masterpieces of art. Chemical Company Needs More Room Will Build $100,000 Addition to Its Present Plant Improvements estimated at $100,000 are to be made in the near future at the plant of the Crystal Chemical Company, according to announcement made last Saturday morning by Dr. Gustav Reich, manager of the concern. Plans are now being drawn for a building 55x100x40 feet in height, containing a boiler house to be used for evaporating purposes. In addition to this building there is at present a building 50x200 feet which will be equipped for expansion purposes. Provision is also being made to extend the plant, as soon as possible, for the manufacture of solvents which are used extensively in lacquers such as duod. In addition to the product of alcohol, which is now being made, the company will manufacture fertilizers, the initial output of which will be 3000 tons a year. "We also expect to double the plant capacity for the manufacture of alcohol and carbon dioxide gas," said Dr. Reich. Entertainment At Orange Show Splendid Musical Program Being Rendered Day and Night The entertainment features at the Fifth Annual California Valencia Orange Show are under the most capable management of Frank B. Harden and are proving distinctly popular with the crowds attending every day. The programs have been splendidly varied and carried through without a hitch. On Friday, Saturday and Sunday the Santa Monica municipal band, under direction of Professor Tomassini, and local artists, with some additions from Los Angeles, provided the entertainment. Among the local artists appearing were the Lyric quartet of Anaheim members of which are: Juanita Kelsey Ross, Emina Howell Schwentker, sopranos; Lila Gray Pemberton, Evelyn Dunnam Kniple, contraltos; Marion Fieldis Wallace, accompanist Their numbers, "Old Favorites," given in costume, were splendidly rendered and enlightened by the audience. Music Lovers Holds First First meeting of the Lovers' Club was held 22, at the home of Mrs. at Newport Beach. A program was presented for future meetings.

Equipping all modern facilities Ray machine, the new themselves prepared practical experience to adjustments The enterprising city of Brea, which at the last show carried off the supreme honors, apparently was determined to repeat itself, as that city's display is one of the most unique in the show. There must be a genius or two in the Brea Chamber of Commerce. This display is an orange—a huge golden orange, 16 feet in diameter, with a slice cut off of one side. The interior is a panorma of purple hills and snow-capped mountains, of green and gold orange groves, and of oil derricks. In the foreground of the picture a pump is industriously lifting oil from the bowels of the earth in the midst of an orange grove. This great globe revolves on a pedestal faced with Valencias. This exhibit attracted much attention. (We may mention here, parenthetically, that the Brea exhibit again won first prize.) One of the most beautiful things in the tent is the Los Angeles county feature. It is also one of the most costly, as the county expended more than $3000 in its construction. It is a many-sided pagoda, the roof being suspended on pillars. Inside the various fruits for which the county is famous are displayed. Pasadena's display is a pyramid of fruit under a canopy, the whole being brilliantly illuminated. Santa Ana's offering is more suggestive of the future than the present. On a triangular base built of oranges, a 20-story business block extends skyward. This probably was an insinuation that King Valencia is going to build skyscrapers in Orange county some time in the future. Orange county's feature was not entered in the prize competition, because it had already been exhibited at the National Orange Show, San Bernardino, where it won first prize. It is One of the departments that is attracting much attention is the avocado display. As all the varieties of the fruit grown in the United States originate in Orange county, specimens of all are on exhibition. The gladioli booth is also a feature that attracts much attention. This is displayed by the California Gladiolus Society, and is managed by Cyril R. Hannah of the Highway Bulb Gardens. (Concluded on Page Three) On Friday, Saturday and Sunday the Santa Monica municipal band, under direction of Professor Tomassini, and local artists, with some additions from Los Angeles, provided the entertainment.

Reginald Taylor, baritone, contributed songs of excellent taste and style, appearing at every performance from the opening to Monday afternoon. The Claire Coutant ballet lasses appeared on Friday evening and gave a most enjoyable and finished program. "Dude" Martin's orchestra, always a favorite anywhere in Orange county, contributed most generously to the afternoon and evening programs of the first days. The Santa Monica band gave one-hour programs on the first three days, and were the most popular feature of the program, their repertoire including everything from jazz to grand opera. Los Angeles artists appearing were: the Moray Sisters in "Modern Songs"; Evert Woodsma, tenor, in operatic and popular ballad numbers, who was in fine voice and well received. Dancers from Madame-Matilda's Academy, Los Angeles, presented numbers, the two younger children being immensely popular. On Monday afternoon, Mrs. O. Lee Schoemaker sang and Mrs. White of Covina also appeared, rendering songs of Scotland. Both these artists were in fine form and were well received. The Majestic Six orchestra and the dancers were also on the program. The most-talked-of program of the week, perhaps, was the appearance on Monday evening of Uncle John and Uncle Remus of KHJ, with many of the juvenile and other artists assisting. They were greeted by an immense crowd, and their entire program was most pleasing and varied. Among the artists appearing were: Queen Titania and "The Sandman." David Durand Drs.

AHEIM GAZETTE Anaheim, California, Thursday, May 28, 1925 LE SEE GREAT ORANGE SHOP Chamber Men Will Visit the Orange Show The Anaheim Chamber of Commerce will be host to the Associated Chambers of Commerce Thursday, when the county organization will meet at the Elks Club at 6:30 p.m., for its monthly meeting. It has been the custom for several years for the Associated Chambers to meet at Anaheim annually during the week of the California Valencia Orange Show. The business session will be brief, it being the plan to adjourn in time for those attending the meeting to visit the show. With this in view, it was announced by George Reid, secretary of the Anaheim chamber, that dinner would start at the assigned hour. "It is my desire, that we have a prompt and snappy meeting and adjourn to the Valencia show immediately after the business session," H. A. Lake, president, said Monday.

SUGAR FACTORY WELLS OWNED BY CITY GREAT WATER WORKS OF DEFUNCT PLANT NOW MUNICIPAL PROPERTY All Danger of Shortage of Water Removed for Many Years by Purchase of These Wells—5,000,000 Gallons a Day Can Be Pumped From Them, and the Supply Is Inexhaustible Asleep at Wheel, Collides With City Flagpole Anaheim's flagpole showed signs of ill usage Monday morning. It had two or three kinks in its shaft; the eagle was hanging on by one claw and showed symptoms of having passed a strenuous night. The ornamental sleeve at the base of the pole was also smashed into several pieces. It was all caused by a young man who went to sleep at the wheel and struck it amidships with his automobile on the previous night. The driver was one of four young people from Imperial valley who were motoring through. On being taken to the police station, the driver explained the circumstance, and they were all released from custody. The wrecking crew of the city had considerable of a job on hand repairing the damage early Tuesday morning. Theodore Roberts Wins in Lawsuit George Pinch of Long Beach failed to prove in Superior court that Theodore Roberts was negligent in falling.

He was born in California—probably the oldest living native at the date of his death. Funeral services were held at St. Boniface church, in this city, yesterday. Mrs. Della Stone, daughter of Pedro Andrade, died at her home in Placentia Saturday afternoon. She was 56 years old. She is survived by her husband, Charles Stone, two sons, Jerome and Charles; a daughter, Mrs. Jack Sollis; a brother, Marcus Andrade of Anaheim, and many other relatives, more distant in this district. Drs. Bertha M. and Minnie H. Pintler, Palmer school graduate chiropractors, who have opened offices at 250 East Center street, come to Anaheim from New York state, after a six years’ practice there. Equipping their office with all modern facilities, including an X-Ray machine, the newcomers declare themselves prepared by seven years’ practical experience to render efficient adjustments. All Danger of Shortage of Water Removed for Many Years by Purchase of These Wells—5,000,000 Gallons a Day Can Be Pumped From Them, and the Supply Is Inexhaustible One of the most important deals ever made by the government of Anaheim was the purchase this week of the water system of the defunct sugar factory. Two acres of ground on which the pumping plants are situated was included in the deal, and the price paid was $35,000. This insures an ample supply of water for many years to come, and no citizen need worry now over the prospect of his domestic supply being curtailed. There have been times when people have been cautioned against unnecessary waste of water, although we have never been pinched by a famine. We have been perilously near it on various occasions, but the public generally was not aware of it. With the acquisition of the new wells it will be many years, in all probability, before we again reach the danger point. The city wells are now capable of yielding 1,200,000 gallons of water per day, while the consumption is a million gallons daily. Five million gallons per day can be lifted from the two new wells, which will make the capacity of the municipal wells 6,200,000 gallons. The wells were drilled by the sugar company when the factory was built, nine years ago. They are 640 feet in depth and pass through three stratas of water gravel, totaling 178 feet. There is absolutely no danger that they will ever become exhausted. The casing of the wells is 24 inches at the top and 16 inches at the bottom. The pumps are housed in substantial buildings, and officials consider the city made a rare bargain in purchasing the outfit for the sum of $35,000. In discussing the purchase of this additional water supply, City Manager J.W. Price declared that there was no question but that the city trustees had shown good judgment in negotiating this valuable acquisition, and he further stated that the city of Anaheim is considered fortunate in having this favorable opportunity presented at this time, when the water question is of supreme importance to Southern California. Mr. Price gave some interesting figures on the present and future water problems, supply and demand, which are matters of grave concern to civile leaders throughout the Southland. Anaheim uses approximately 1,000,000 gallons of water daily and the present water supply is not capable of more than 1,200,000 gallons. At the power plant the well taps but 35 feet of water bearing gravel, and at the well at the sewer farm but 20 feet is punctured. From a comparison of the present source of supply with the newly acquired system, it can be readily seen that the future water supply of Anaheim has been safeguarded by the wise action of the city trustees. The present system is capable of driving for many years by Purchase of These Wells—5,000,000 Gallons a Day Can Be Pumped From Them, and the Supply Is Inexhaustible Theodore Roberts Wins in Lawsuit George Finch of Long Beach failed to prove in Superior court that Theodore Roberts was negligent in falling to water an orang grove which Roberts had sold to Finch and which was still in Roberts’ possession while the deed was in ciscar. Roberts claimed that the damage complained of had been caused by desert wind, as the grove had been properly irrigated. The court, however, allowed Finch judgment of $47.66, which represented the amount of a bill for irrigation water which the former owner had left unpaid. Finch had asked $2500 damages for the alleged loss of 33 trees, which he claimed had been able to die through neglect of irrigation by Theodore Roberts who traded the grove to Finch. This allied neglect was said to have occurred while the deal was in escrow, in March, 1923. Neither Roberts or Finch now own the grove. Finch having since resold it. At the trial the case hinged upon testimony of A.C. Schultz, caretaker of the ranch under Roberta’s ownership. Schultz said that the ranch had been irrigated regularly and that the trees on a portion of the ranch where the soil was shallow had suffered some damage from an unusually severe desert wind, but quickly recovered. Orange Show Bigger And Better Each Year During the past week many thousands of people have flocked to Anaheim to see the Fifth Annual Valencia Orange Show, the largest ever assembled. Young and old have come—the older people for the pleasure of hearing the many bands and orchestras besides viewing the marvous orange exhibits while the children have the Ferris wheel, the merry-go-round and other carnival attractions. For the automobile lover, there is auto tent. Here is seen every car from Fords to Marmons. The industrial tent contains booths wherein are seen many California products. To see this one tent alone one must spend much time. Herman Stern, the manager of this year’s show, has put through a wonderful color scheme. The permanent entrance is of Moorish style, while the tents themselves review colors suggestive of the French Renaissance period. Throughout the three big tents there are arrays of colors which add much beauty to the show. Upon entering the main tent, the Brea exhibit is seen. Riding like a huge hollowed-out orange, it displays the source of Brea’s wealth—her oil supply.

According to announcement from the farm advisor's office, the annual summer citrus institute will be held at the Anaheim high school, Friday and Saturday, June 26 and 27. The location and date of this important event were decided upon by the citrus department of the Southern Counties Farm Bureau, in Los Angeles last week. Out of the several invitations submitted by a number of Southern California districts, the Anaheim invitation was accepted. The details of the institute program will be announced later, following the meeting of the citrus department of the Orange County Farm Bureau, at the farm advisor's office. The Orange county committee consists of Dr. J. R. Schofield, Buena Park, chairman; W. M. Mertz, El Modena; C. V. Newman, Tustin; John Ragan, Orrange, and J. A. Prizar. Fullerton. An added attraction of each day of the show are the programs which are presented in the citrus tent and broadcast throughout the show.

There are other mardi gras, other cotton expositions and other corn shows, but in all the wide world there is only one Valencia Orange Show, the fifth annual exhibition of which is now being held in this city, the heart of the world's greatest Valencia orange district. Three mammoth tents house the great show. Entering the main tent through an elaborate gateway, the visitor passes from the drab and grey of the city's streets to a fairyland of gold and purple. A silk canopied salon decorated in the French Renaissance motif and lighted by hundreds of vari-colored lights, this tent with its unique and fascinating exhibits of citrus fruits, introduces the motive for the show. Candidates Receive Royal Arch Degree Candidates Receive Royal Arch Degree Royal Arch degree of Masonry was conferred Saturday afternoon on a class of candidates by Charles H. King of Sebastopol, Grand High Priest of the Royal Arch Masons of California, and other high officials of the Grand Chapter, assisted by officers of the four Orange county chapters, Anaheim, Fullerton, Orange and Santa Ana. Grand Chapter officers, beside King, participating in the ceremonies included: Rudolph Beck of Oxnard, Past Grand High Priest; Albert McLees of San Diego, Deputy High Priest, and Daniel Richards of San Francisco, Grand Lecturer. Local officers in charge of arrangements were: H. Martin of Anaheim, Dr. Nordeen of Orange, L. Willits of Fullerton and Karl Kaufman of Santa Ana.

Royal Arch Masons being present from Anaheim, Long Beach, Los Angeles, Glendale, San Diego, San Bernardino, San Pedro and various other chapters of the Southland. Mulholland Favors Big Boulder Dam Colorado Must Be Harnessed, Says Eminent Engineer At a meeting called by the Placentia Chamber of Commerce last week to discuss the Boulder dam project, William Mulholland, the engineer who built the Los Angeles aqueduct, and who is one of the greatest authorities on the water problem in California, states that the Colorado river project was the only thing that could save Southern California from a water famine. He declared that California, for the last 20 years has been drawing upon her underground water supplies without these being materially replenished during that time. "But," he declared, "Southern California must irrigate. The great Southwest, with its mean rainfall not over two inches and this part of California with a mean rainfall not exceeding 15 inches, are essentially arid countries, depending upon irrigation for their development and growth. The next exhibit the visitor sees is one of the most novel in the tent. A 1000-gallon tank has been submerged in the earth and filled with water. Above it is a Standard twin-screw turbine pump, pumping the water into a well box, from whence it flows back into the tank. Colored lights are hidden in the box and play on the moving water, giving a unique cast to the exhibit that attracts crowds of people. This exhibit was installed by Funk Brothers Manufacturing Company of Anaheim. The Southern Counties Gas Company and the Western Machine Company of Los Angeles have a combined exhibit in a 30-horsepower natural gas engine... through a wondrous permanent lake, while the colors suggest a massive big tents which add He declared that California, for the last 20 years has been drawing upon her underground water supplies without these being materially replenished during that time. "But," he declared, "Southern California must irrigate: The great Southwest, with its mean rainfall not exceeding 15 inches, are essentially arid countries, depending upon irrigation for their development and growth. The Colorado, he pointed out, held the only problem in the Southland. Declaring that as the distance of Los Angeles from the Colorado river is approximately the same as the distance from that city to the Owens river and as the engineering problems to be met in constructing an aqueduct to bring water from the Colorado river are no greater than those overcome in building the Los Angeles aqueduct from the Owens river, he asserted that the cost of such an enterprise should not be much greater than the cost of the Owens river project, which cost the city approximately $144 per capita in 1901. To take from the river an average of 1500 second feet, which, he declared, would be adequate to supply all the Southland, would only tap one-eighth of the river's average flow and as one-quarter of that flow is now wasted into the sea, the removal of one-eighth by the proposed aqueduct would not be a loss at great as now suffered. State Highway Commissioner Nelson T. Edwards has been under quarantine for some days past for smallpox. Mr. Edwards was stricken with the disease, his case was a mild one and did not confine him to his bed. It was necessary to put the house under quarantine, however. The Southern Counties Gas Company and the Western Machine Company of Los Angeles have a combined exhibit in a 30-horsepower natural gas engine and pump in action and a glass enclosed new device for gas meters. The city of Pomona is represented in this tent by the Pomona Manufacturing Company, manufacturers of deep well pumps, plungers, gates, valves, etc. Beginning operation in 1902, this company is now said to be the largest manufacturer of deep well pumps in America. In the next booth C. H. Chillaw of Anaheim has a Deming power sprayer and an exhibit of Sherwin-Williams paints. The next booth is also devoted to the control of peats and fruit diseases, for it contains a Hardie spray rig and an exhibit by Henley & Aspelin, fumigators and sprayers of Anaheim. Then comes an exhibit of centrifugal pumps manufactured at Santa Ana by the Dixon Manufacturing Company. Dunham & Knipe of Anaheim have the next booth, in which they have a display of rigidios and equipment. Next is one of the novel exhibits in the tent. It is a representation of a city street, with five model houses, and was installed by Ganahl-Grim, Gibson Lumber Company, Gibs Lumber Company, Smith Lumber Company and Adams-Bowers Lumber Company, all of Anaheim. Women visitors in the tent were much interested in the next exhibit, for it is a pyramid of home canned fruits from Taylors, Santa Ana. Kintsel-Wethered Furniture Company of Anaheim have a very pleasing display of A-B gas ranges. And now the lover of the open road comes into his own, for against a backdrop (Concluded on Page Six)
