W. Peck purchased the deserted buildings of the Anaheim sugar factory, some weeks ago, it was well known that his intention was to devote them to some useful purpose. There was much conjecture as to what disposition he would make of them, but it was reasonably certain that it was not his intention to let them lie idle. A report was afloat that the big buildings would house a shoe factory, but the report has been disproved by persons in a position to know. It is now rumored that the Anaheim Beef Company is interested in the deal, and that important developments may be expected some time in the future. It is well known that the beef company has rapidly expanded and is constantly enlarging its Anaheim's Barber Has Illustrious The flaming you who hear the call of the field of battle and the experiences of Hamilton and Pershing can Anaheim, have their same razor, their tachios trimmed by and their hair clippers that did the for those illustrious.

A report was afloat that the big buildings would house a shoe factory, but the report has been disproved by persons in a position to know. It is now rumored that the Anaheim Beef Company is interested in the deal, and that important developments may be expected some time in the future. It is well known that the beef company has rapidly expanded and is constantly enlarging its quarters and adding to its force of employees. It is also rumored that a large cannery is one of the new industries contemplated in the deal. So far, all these reports are conjecture, as the interested parties are not talking. In fact, Mr. Peck is now in Europe, and nothing can be definitely settled until he returns. In addition to this, another industry in the same neighborhood is announced as decided upon, which will give employment to many men and is expected to benefit not only this city, but the entire county. While this plant will turn out a valuable article of commerce, it will also eliminate the disagreeable odors that have been an annoyance to those living along the sewer line between this city and the ocean. The Crystal Chemical Company of Anaheim has set aside $70,000 for the construction of a plant to convert its waste into fertilizer, according to information received by W. G. Knox, engineer for the joint outfall committee handling the outfall plant for the cities of Santa Ana, Orange, Anaheim, Fullerton and a number of sanitary districts from C. G. Gillespie, director for the state board of health. The information was contained in a letter advising the engineer of the findings of the director with reference to use of the joint outfall by the chemical company for disposal of its waste. The investigation was the result of complaints made by Garden Grove and other community against the odors produced by action of the chemical plant waste in the sewer line, and by representatives of the cities against use of the sewer line for the disposal of the wastes, it being claimed that the chemical had a deleterious effect on the lines. R F. Goudoy, Los Angeles, resident engineer for the board, and Gillespie have conducted investigations of the local situation and have made findings and recommendations that will be submitted to the state health board later. Submission of the report is being held up pending execution of the plans of the chemical company for development of its plant to take care of refuse from its alcohol factory. Reciting that the Crystal Chemical Company is a United States bonded distillery, making 1900 gallons of 96.5 per cent alcohol from 30 tons of Hawaiian molasses per day, the investigators found that the plant daily discharges into the sewer 60 pounds of sulphur, and whose being have conducted investigations local situation and have made findings and recommendations that will be submitted to the state health board later. Submission of the report is being held up pending execution of the plans of the chemical company for development of its plant to take care of refuse from its alcohol factory. Reciting that the Crystal Chemical Company is a United States bonded distillery, making 1900 gallons of 96.5 per cent alcohol from 30 tons of Hawaiian molasses per day, the investigators found that the plant daily discharges into the sewer 60 pounds of sulphur, and 36,000 gallons of water, the waste being of a dark red color and relatively free of suspended matter. "Physical inspection at the various manholes indicates that growths and deposits, characteristic of hydrogen sulphide in large quantities, already have appeared," reads a paragraph in the report. "The sealing of all manhole covers has partially controlled odors in Garden Grove, but has subjected the sewer system to more deleterious action from sewer gases than before. In fact, we predict that should present conditions be permitted to continue, the structural safety of the sewer would be jeopardized in five or ten years." "The odors escaping at the time of our investigation were a gross odor nuisance. One house had been vacated because of sewage odors. The odors are still objectionable to pedestrians and autoists who necessarily have to travel along or across the outfall." The investigators say that the logical remedy is to immediately disconnect the Crystal Chemical Company plant from the sewer system, restore ventilation and thoroughly flush all manholes and sections of the outfall sewer. "The odor itself is not a characteristic sewage odor," says the report. "It is a penetrating, irritating and gagging odor, disgusting, disagreeable and obnoxious to the senses, and to some highly nauseating." Recommendations of the investigators, contained in the report, which will be submitted at a later date, read as follows: "It is recommended that the state board of health suspend the permit granted to the city of Anaheim on January 5, 1924, to use the outfall sewer system, tending the severance of the connection of the Crystal Chemical plant with the sewer system within 80 days. If the connection still exists at the end of that period, the permit of the city of Anaheim should be permanently revoked, and the state board of health then should refer the nuisance question to the district attorney's office for investigation to take such action as he deems necessary, and simultaneously to direct the city of Santa Ana to enjoin the city of Anaheim from using the joint outfall sewer system because of violation of the amended joint agreement between the cities of Santa Ana and Anaheim, Fullerton, Orange, Garden Grove and Placentia." AHAIM GAZETTE Anaheim, California, Thursday, July 2, 1925 EXPANSIONS IN INDUSTRY Anaheim’s Fighting Barber Has Shaved Illustrious Warriors The flaming youth of Anaheim who hear the call of the red gods on the field of battle and who long for the experiences of Roosevelt, Funston and Pershing can, right here in Anaheim, have their faces shaved by the same razor, their youthful mus-tachios trimmed by the same shears and their hair clipped by the same clippers that did the tonsorial work for those illustrious fighters. In a little barber shop on North West street these young gentlemen can meet John H. Schmidt, soldier and barber, who has to his credit 17 years of active service in the regular army of the United States. Mr. Schmidt served as a rough rider under Roosevelt went through the Spanish-American war, the Philippine insurrection, the Boxer rebellion in China and was with Pershing on his punitive expedition into Mexico. He was proprietor of a barber shop in the Officers’ Club in the city of Manila, P. L., for three years, and for several years had a shop in the Officiary Club at Fort Loyola. CITRUS GROWERS GET MANY NEW IDEAS INSTITUTE AT HIGH SCHOOL AUDITORIUM BEST EVER HELD Numerous Papers Read by Men Who Spend Their Lives Investigating for the Good of the Industry—Spraying vs. Fumigation Discussed by Advocates of Both Methods at Meeting. Eight hundred interested growers from all sections of the citrus belt attended the fourth annual Citrus Institute, held in this city Friday, and the eighth annual Post Control School on Old-Timers Gather At County Park and Hold Big Reunion More than 100 of the real old pioneers of Orange county were present Sunday at the reunion of old-timers, held in Orange County Park. The number constituted men and women who landed here either by birth or by "invasion" in 1859, 1860 and in the '70's. And then there were hundreds of others who dated their locations in the county in the '80's, '90's, and years following, the entire gathering numbering approximately 500. Ten were present whose arrival date here was in the '60's and 98 who came into the county in the '70's. It was a happy day for the old-timers, for there were renewal of acquaintances formed 35, 40 and even 50 years ago, and there were many instances in which the old friends had not met in 40 years. Serves 32 Years, Resigns as Zanjero Irrigators Tender Testimonial for Excellent Services Charles E. Stone has resigned as zanjero for the Placentia district, which responsible position he has held for 32 years, and will shortly leave for a trip to the north, where he will visit his sister Mrs. George Gray, and family at Haywards, and his brother Tom Stone, in Merced. He has been on the job continuously since 1893, and has delivered more water for irrigation than any man in the employ of the company. He was made the recipient of a very fine testimonial of appreciation on the part of a number of stockholders some days ago, when they presented him with a check for $1200, which was given him because of his very fine services rendered the company. He was recently bereaved by the loss of his good wife, and will spend some time visiting relatives and will probably later on accept another position with the company. Charley Stone came here with his family in 1868, and has resided here continuously since that time. His father bought a ranch on Orangenteorpe avenue, where the family lived for many years. Charley and his brother and sister attended school in this city, and the favorable impression made by them among all with whom they came in contact has continued for more than half a century. He is the same genial and courteous gentleman as of yore, and his many friends wish him a happy outing after his long years of arduous service. Harry Riley Resigns As C. of C. President H. E. W. Barnes Will Head That EVER HELD Numerous Papers Read by Men Who Spend Their Lives Investigating for the Good of the Industry—Spraying vs. Fumigation Discussed by Advocates of Both Methods at Meeting. Eight hundred interested growers from all sections of the citrus belt attended the fourth annual Citrus Institute, held in this city Friday, and the eighth annual Post Control School on the following day. The foremost experts and experimenters in the citrus industry were present to make public developments, and every phase of the industry was discussed. Both meetings were held in the high school auditorium. There was some difference of opinion between the advocates of fumigation and those who believed in spraying. The principal speaker at the afternoon session Friday was Prof. R. W. Hodgson, division of subtropical horticulture, College of Agriculture, and formally farm advisor for Los Angeles county. Speaking on "Recommendations on Citrus Pertilization," Hodgson declared that there are five fallacies which exist. None of the five have any foundation, he said. These appositions are: That from a soil analysis can be determined the particular crop adaptation of any given soil; that from a soil analysis can be determined the fertilizer requirements of any given soil; that a balanced ration for plants means the use of nitrogen, phosphorous and potash; that the only way to make certain that the plant is amply supplied with mineral nutrients is to supply these in chemical form; that a surplus of any given nutrient in the soil can be offset or overcome by applying certain other elements to restore the balance. "Growers would do well to follow the recommendations of the citrus experiment station at Riverside," said Professor Hodgson. In the young orchard grow cover but keep them under control. This treatment alone is usually sufficient for the first seven or eight years. "For the young bearing trees, grow a winter cover crop and apply bulky organic materials to supply a total of two pounds of nitrogen per tree per year. This treatment should suffice until the trees are 12 to 15 years old." From this time on, apply two or three pounds of nitrogen per tree, approximately half of which should be from bulky organic sources and the remainder from concentrates. "Use lime and other soil amendments only where trials show definite measurable improvement in tree health or yield." Professor Hodgson pointed out that this program involved the direct application of one element in addition to organic matter. It is truly a balanced program, in that nitrogen is recognized as the primary nutrient required by the plant, he said. The program provides for both direct and indirect fertilization. German Cannon for Court House Lawn Seven-Inch Captured Field Piece Secured by Post Through the efforts of Santa Ana post, No. 131, American Legion, Santa Ana and Orange county is to receive one of the largest types of captured German field rifles, which will be erected in the county court house yard and dedicated to the men and women of Orange county who served their country during the war. Announcement that Santa Ana post has secured the gun was made by Herman Zabel, chairman of an American Legion committee which has been working for several months to secure one of the trophies. The rifle is a 150-millimeter field piece, weighs 35,000 pounds and has a 16-foot barrel. The gun is the same calibre as an American seven-inch gun, and one of the largest brought to this country at the close of the war. The county supervisors voted to pay the freight from San Pedro to Santa Ana, where the rifle will be shipped from a government arsenal in New Jersey. Shipment will be made immediately, according to Zabel. The Santa Ana post of the Legion is planning to invite all posts in the county to a ceremonial to be held on the lawn of the court house, after the gun has been set up. At this time a program, officially dedicating the rifle to Orange county citizens, will be made. The gun will sit in the same position that the old Spanish-American war gun now occupies, and the 1895 relic will be transferred to the Orange county park. Harbison on Trial In Superior Court Bound Over on Two Charges— Harry Riley Resigns As C. of C. President H. E. W. Barnes Will Head That Body for Next Year Harry D. Riley, who has for six years served as president of the Chamber of Commerce, declined re-election at the last meeting, declaring that he needed a vacation, and also stating that he had exhausted his thinking machine in the work and it would be better for some man with new ideas to step into the job. In resigning the position he said: "I want a vacation and I feel that it will be better at the present for the Chamber of Commerce for some one with new ideas and new aspirations to take the responsibility of leading the chamber. "It has taken a great deal of energy and it has drained me of ideas. Under the new president I am sure the Chamber of Commerce will continue to advance the interests of the city. I wish to thank those who have worked with me during the six years I have headed the chamber and to ask them to give the same loyal support to the new officers." In leaving the office of the president, I am not leaving the work of the Chamber of Commerce. I shall continue to serve wherever and whenever possible, and at some time in the future if the board desires me to hold an office, I shall be glad to do so. Now I want a vacation. H E. W. Barnes was elected president for the coming year, and J. G. Hilleary vice-president. George W. Reid was again elected secretary. H M. Adams and C' C. Lamb tendered their resignations as members of the board of directors, and H A. Hargrove and H N. White were appointed to the vacancies. Professor Hudgson pointed out that this program involved the direct application of one element in addition to organic matter. It is truly a balanced program, in that nitrogen is recognized as the primary nutrient required by the plant, he said. The program provides for both direct and indirect fertilization, and so far as is now known approaches conditions as they occur in nature as closely as can be done, he stated. At the morning session, Harold E. Wahiberg, farm advisor of Orange county, spoke on "Meeting the Economic Problems of the Citrus Industry." Wahiberg declared that the production of citrus fruits is increasing, with much new area being planted annually. "Growers, if they would succeed, must produce quality and not quantity fruit," said the farm advisor. "There will always be a keen demand for good fruits and the grower who uses modern methods will grow the kind of product that sells." "Observation from Drying Out Soils" was the title of a paper read by W R. Schoonover, specialist in citriculture, agricultural extension service. Schoonover declared that it is just as necessary to 'see that the soil is sufficiently dry as it is to see that it has enough water. "The soil should approach dryness," said Schoonover. "Do not apply water where the soil has remained wet, for you will get too much water in the ground and the tree roots will not function as they should," declared Schoonover. "Use the soil auger frequently and do not hesitate to take advantage of the soil laboratories maintained by the extension service." A series of charts and pictures showing trees that had been affected by too much water, were shown in conjunction with the talk. "Relation of Nitrates to Citrus Production" was discussed by Dr. L G. McBeth, manager of the Lefflingwell ranch. Whittier, yesterday afternoon. (Conscluded on Last Page) Harbison on Trial In Superior Court Bound Over on Two Charges—Criminal Libel and Forgery M L. Harbison, the man who filed a suit of ouster against the city trustees of Anaheim, charging them with malfeasance in office, must make good the statements sworn to in his complaint, or pay the penalty. In his complaint he charged the trustees with appointing Charles B. Nichols chief of police, knowing him to have a criminal record. After his miserable failure to substantiate his charges in the suit of ouster, he was apprehended on two warrants sworn to by City Trustee A W. Franzen, one charging him with criminal libel and the other with perjury. He was released on depositing a $500 bond on each complaint, and his preliminary hearing set for June 30. At 10 e'clock Tuesday, Harbison was arraigned before Judge Charles Kuchel Deputy District Attorneys W N. Mozley and D G. Wettlin appeared for the prosecution, while W P. Webb and G Stanley Price of Los Angeles defended Harbison Webb was the first witness put on the stand. He was called not as an attorney, but as a notary public, to establish the fact Harbison had sworn to the complaint and had made charges therein which he is now compelled to prove. Each of the five trustees was placed on the stand, and each denied that on the date of Nichols' appointment he had any knowledge that the ex-chief was a convict. At the trial of the trustees, some weeks ago, Harbison failed to substantiate his claim that Nichols had once been convicted of a crime, and this is one of the points he must prove if he wins his suit. Nichols and his friends declare the program, officially dedicating the rife to Orange county citizens, will be made. The gun will sit in the same position that the old Spanish-American war gun now occupies, and the 1895 relic will be transferred to the Orange county park. M L.

C. Evans Addresses A. C. of C. on Colorado Project SEEING inevitable defeat staring them in the face since Santa Ana so emphatically repudiated the water bonds, leading proponents of the harbor bond issue are considerably worried, believing that the sentiment expressed against bond issues by the Santa Ana voters is shared by electors in the balance of the county. In fact, they were relying upon an almost unanimous vote in Santa Ana favorable to the bonds, but as only 890 votes out of a registration of more than 11,000 were cast for the bonds in that city, in a proposition staged wholly for the benefit of the people of that town, hopes for a heavy vote for the harbor bonds in which they are only indirectly interested have gone a-glimmering. They realize that in these days of heavy taxation the people are prone to shy at additional burdens. Wedding Bells Ring For Popular Couple Miss Mary Ella Cook and Frank B. Champion Wedded Miss Mary Ella Cook, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. John H. Cook of this city, and Frank Baker Champion, Jr., were married in St. Xavier's chapel. Harvard Military School, Los Angeles, at 8 o'clock in the evening of Wednesday, June 24. Rev. Rankin Barnes of St. James' church, Pasadena, performing the ceremony, using the single ring ceremony. The bride wore a white satin dress with Chantilly lace, with veil, and carried a bouquet of gardenias, bride's roses and lilies of the valley. Two beldemals wore blue and two pink with bouquets of sweet peas and maidenhair fern. Miss Kathryn Cravath, the maid of honor, wore orchid chiffon, with picture hat to match, and carried pink roses. Bill Cook, a brother of the bride, was best man, and the ushers were all friends of the groom. Mrs. Champion is a graduate of the Anaheim schools, and spent the last two years in the University of Southern California. She is a member of Delta Gamma Sorority. Mr. Champion, graduate of University of California, class of 21, lived in Laguna Beach as a boy, is son of Mr. and Mrs. Frank Baker Champion of that town and grandson of Mr. and Mrs. Fisher of "Sweet Home," Laguna Canyon. Mr. Champion enlisted for duty in the war and was sent to Fortress Monroe, where he entered the officers' trailing camp. When the war ended he again took up his college work at Berkeley. He is a member of Phi Sigma Kappa fraternity, the Theta Tau fraternity (engineering), the Golden Bear Honor Society and the Big "C". He is also a Mason. The young couple are spending their honeymoon at Del Monte lodge, Pebble Beach, and from there go to San Francisco and Yosemite. After the honeymoon Mr. Champion will return to work with the Pacific Wire Rope Company of Los Angeles. They will be at home to their many friends on Pine street, South Pasadena. Miss Cook is a granddaughter of Albert Steples and great-granddaughter of Mrs. John Merideth, who settled here many years ago. Miss Cravath, maid of honor, has lived at the Cook residence the past four years, graduating last year from high school. Many beautiful gifts were showered upon them by their numerous people for the harbor bond issue are considerably worried believing that the sentiment expressed against bond issues by the Santa Ana voters is shared by electors in the balance of the county. In fact, they were relying upon an almost unanimous vote in Santa Ana favorable to the bonds, but as only 890 votes out of a registration of more than 11,000 were cast for the bonds in that city, in a proposition staged wholly for the benefit of the people of that town, hopes for a heavy vote for the harbor bonds in which they are only indirectly interested have gone a-glimmering. They realize that in these days of heavy taxation the people are prone to shy at additional burdens. They are more impressed with the idea of reducing present expenses than with the possibility of future benefit. At the meeting of the Associated Chambers of Commerce, held at Placentia, Thursday evening, Lew H. Wallace, king bee of the harbor boosters, took exception to the proposal to consolidate precincts for the harbor bond election, and demanded that all the precincts in the county be open to the voters. W. C. Jerome, county auditor, stated that it would cost $12,000 to hold the election if all the precincts were open, and $7000 if they were consolidated. Consolidation will result in confusion and I don't believe it is right to take away from anyone the right to vote." Wallace said. "We want to know definitely this time whether or not the people of Orange county want to develop a commercial harbor at Newport." A committee consisting of L. F. Coburn of Orange, Dr. J. D. Thomas of Olive and Lew Wallace of Newport Beach was appointed to determine the exact amount that would be saved by the consolidation. Mayor S. C. Evans of Riverside addressed the meeting on the Boulder Dam proposition. "Los Angeles is a big city. There are groups of men in that city who have done things that I have not approved. A new day is dawning," he said. "Various representative organizations in the communities of Southern California should meet with groups in Los Angeles and secure pledges that they will be fair in their dealings with the outside communities and then join in cooperative plans for developments that will benefit the entire Southland." "We cannot do much without Los Angeles in the matter of bringing water in from the Colorado river, but Los Angeles can get along without us. I am going to advise my communities to tie up with the larger city because we need such support." "It is time all of Southern California was joining hands to work for the one big thing—water from the Colorado river." He declared his belief that private could be developed under the project, should have rights to the power that power companies and municipalities with the municipalities running a line from the point of development and the power companies doing the same. "Under the Boulder Dam plan, we can bring juice into our communities at 50 cents on the dollar it is costing us to..." Pickwick Stages Increase Rates A slight increase is noted in the new passenger rates which went into effect Thursday morning at all points on the Los Angeles-Santa Ana division of the Pickwick Stage system, according to D. Tempkins, district superintendent. The single fare ticket from Santa Ana to Los Angeles has been raised from 80 to 85 cents and the new round-trip ticket will cost $1.50 instead of $1.40, the old rate. The new single fare from Santa Ana to Anaheim is 30 cents, and round trip 50 cents, as compared with the old rate of 25 and 45 cents; the new fare to Fullerton is 35 cents, and round trip 60 cents, as compared with the old rate of 30 and 50 cents. It also was announced that all 60-ride commutation books have been eliminated and that the 10-ride books have been limited to 30 days instead of 90 days. The prices of other commutation books are the same. The increase of rates was authorized by the California railroad commission, following representations by the transportation company to effect that with increased cost of operation the old rates do not give a reasonable return on investment. Whole story is a fabrication. After hearing the evidence, Judge Kuchel bound Harblison over to Superior court, holding him under the old bond. "It is time all of Southern California was joining hands to work for the one big thing—water from the Colorado river." He declared his belief that private could be developed under the project, should have rights to the power that power companies and municipalities with the municipalities running a line from the point of development and the power companies doing the same. "Under the Boulder Dam plan, we can bring juice into our communities at 50 cents on the dollar it is coating us today," the speaker said. Starting out with the declaration that the Colorado river is the greatest undeveloped asset the United States has today, the mayor carried his auditors through the various stages of development of the proposed project since its inception, and recounted many interesting points that have had influence on progress of the plan. He stressed the point that the government is interested in reclamation projects and not in the development of power. He told of the heavy expense Imperial Valley land owners are under in maintaining the main canals and laterals, and recited in detail how the canal came to be shoved over into Mexico. It was done in the early days of the development of water from the river for irrigation of valley and was run over the border line to save expense of cutting through small hills. Later, he said, Americans secured acreage in Mexico along the line and commenced using the water, and declared that many acres of Mexican land are now being cleared and placed under irrigation by the owners, who are anticipating a treaty between the two governments that will make their water rights permanent. "And the Imperial Valley people are paying $2,000,000 a year to keep the channel and laterals clear of silt and the land owners on the Mexican side are contributing nothing to the expense." Evans said. Urging full co-operation of all Southern California communities in the proposal to bring water from the Colorado river, the speaker said, "We will stop growth at our water limit and we will stop soon if we do not get more water."
