Professor Wrong; Circumstances Will Alter Many Cases THE old order changeth." Several years ago a noted professor of journalism, in instructing his class as to the value of news, said: "If a dog bites a man, that's not news, but if a man bites a dog that's news." But the learned professor failed to take into consideration the fact that circumstances alter cases, for when a dog bites a man and the bite goes to court about it, it immediately becomes news, gets a two-column headline and a front page position. At Santa Ana, last Saturday, the bite of a dog was charged up at $295 in a complaint for damages filed in the Superior court. Harold Weaver was the plaintiff in the action, which was brought to the Superior court in an appeal from Laguna Beach Justice court by the defendants, Mr. and Mrs. L. E. Holcombe. Weaver got judgment for $78.25 in justice court, after suing for $295. He asked $170 actual damages for Highest Prices Since War-Time Being Received for Anaheim Fruit — Manager Sandilands States His Association Will Receive a Million Dollars for Its Crop—Walnut Growers to Get Big Returns This Season. There is no excuse for the existence of a messlimit in Anaheim, and there is no room for him here. Conditions do not justify a man taking a gloomy view of things and exaggerating small objects that stand in the way of progress. A Santa Ana business man who has been here for the past month remarked a few days ago: "Many people in Anaheim think the town was injured by the recent factional fight, and they are trying to live up to that belief. There is no excuse for it. If Anaheim is ever injured from a business standpoint, its own people will be responsible for it, and they will act without reason. Anaheim is more than holding its own with other communities in these days of universal stagnation, but the people don't seem to realize it." This community's chief source of income is from the products of its soil, its greatest and most profitable industry being the growing of oranges. Undoubtedly the orange crop in this section was damaged to a certain extent, in certain localities by frost and in others by the Santa Ana wind, but the extraordinary prices eastern consumers are paying for our Valencias more than offset this small loss. One of the packing house managers, whose business it is to keep posted on orchard conditions, estimates that the loss caused by adverse weather conditions was 15 percent. This loss is more than offset by the higher prices received for the fruit. Anaheim Valencias have sold in New York this season for more than $9 per box. Ranchers here have sold their crops on the trees for above 6 cents per pound, and we have been told of growers who received as high as $1000 per acre for their season's crop, and one grower was paid $1300 per acre for his crop. Last week the Anaheim Citrus Growers' Association distributed $238,000 to the members of the association on account for the first pool, the number of boxes shipped being 79,554. This was only a partial payment, as there is more coming to the growers on this first pool, and there will be other pools before the/season ends. Stockholders of that association will have money to burn when the harvest is in and the profits paid to them. Manager Sandilands of the Anaheim Orange and Lemon Association states that the first pool money will be distributed early in August, but he can give no definite figures now as to the amount. He states, however, that his association will receive at least a million dollars for this year's shipments. At Santa Ana, last Saturday, the bite of a dog was charged up at $295 in a complaint for damages filed in the Superior court. Harold Weaver was the plaintiff in the action, which was brought to the Superior court in an appeal from Laguna Beach Justice court by the defendants. Mr. and Mrs. L. E. Holcombe. Weaver got judgment for $78.25 in justice court, after suing for $295. He asked $170 actual damages for his injury, medical expenses, loss of time and torn trousers, and an additional $125 was demanded as punitive damages. A vicious dog owned by the Holcombes sank his teeth into Weaver's right leg while the latter was walking along the street in Laguna Beach, last December, it was asserted. PAVING PROGRAM FOR PLACENTIA Will Spend $300,000 in Next Eighteen Months Boundary lines have been formed, roads designated, and plans formed for formation of a $6,500,000 assessment district which will pave 15½ miles of 18-foot highway in the Placentia district in the next six months, according to an announcement from the local Chamber of Commerce. The pavement will cost approximately $300,000 and will occupy about one and one-half years in completion, according to figures furnished by County Engineer J. L. McBride. Every road in the Placentia district from Yorba Linda to Atwood on the east, to the city limits of Fullerton on the west, and from the Brea road to the Santa Ana river on the south will be surfaced, according to the plans. The improvement is said to be the largest single job that will be undertaken in the state this year by assessment district work, outside of state highway improvements. It will give Placentia 26 miles of paved highway, more than enjoyed by 11 different states in the Union, outside of cities, and more than one-half of that of the entire counties in California, according to figures of the Chamber of Commerce/secretary. Property owners have held several meetings regarding the proposed work, and the county supervisors endorsed the plan at their meeting on June 30. William Schumacher, supervisor for the third supervisorial district, has declared that the improvement will take away the troubles of one-fourth of his district, and speaks well for the proposed work. He stated that the cost would be equal to one-fourth of the entire original county road bond issue, and would give Placentia a network of hard surfaced roads that would require little or no tite goes to court about it; it immediately becomes news, gets a two-column headline and a front page position.

He states, however, that his association will receive at least a million dollars for this year's shipments. Stockholders in that association will also be able to buy diamonds for Christmas presents. Other associations, as well as the growers who sell to independent buyers, are presumably enjoying the same prosperity, and every man who owns an orange tree is reaping a good harvest from it. The walnut grower, also, will reap a rich reward for his labor. It will be almost two months before the harvest begins, but an accurate estimate of the crop can be made now. This year's crop in this section will be 70 per cent larger than last year, and 50 per cent greater in the entire county, as there is not a last year's walnut left in the eastern market, and as there will be little or no competition from importations, owing to a shortage of the crop in Europe, the price is bound to be high. Prices of walnuts, however, are fixed by the association of growers, but their conservative figures are sometimes upset by the demand. The walnut grower is going to be on Easy street. First Lieutenant Don Winans, Company F, 160th Infantry, California National Guard, returns Sunday from the annual encampment which was held at Del Monte. Lieutenant Winans drove home by motor and escaped the train wreck which occurred Sunday morning at Sedden, 25 miles north of Santa Barbara, where the third section of the troop train crashed into a freight, killing the engineer of the freight and severely shaking several hundred guardsmen on the troop train. Frank Itchards, another Anaheim member of Company F, returned with his company on the second section, which preceded the wrecked train by about 10 minutes. Mrs. R. H. Evers of Deaton, Texas, who has been visiting with friends here, has returned to her home. Mrs. E. B. Blabock of Marshall, Texas, who made the trip to California with Mrs. Evers, will remain here until the later part of August as the guest of Sue M. King, who resides on Lincoln avenue. Property owners have held several meetings regarding the proposed work, and the county supervisors endorsed the plan at their meeting on June 30. William Schumacher, supervisor for the third supervisorial district, has declared that the improvement will take away the troubles of one-fourth of his district, and speaks well for the proposed work. He stated that the cost would be equal to one-fourth of the entire original county road bond issue, and would give Placentia a network of hard surfaced roads that would require little or no maintenance cost, so that the funds of the road district could be used to retire a portion of the bonded indebtedness. Directors of the Placentia Chamber of Commerce passed on the proposal at their last regular meeting, and the matter is now in the hands of the supervisors and the county engineer. Members of the road committee, under Ralph McFadden, chairman, are: John Tuffree, Elmer Hochstein, C. E. Lee, William Berkenstock, Gilbert Kraemer, Louis Jacobsen and William Blelefeldt. The roads to be paved are as follows: Carolina avenue, 2.5 miles; Cypress avenue, 4 miles; Golden avenue, 1.30 miles; Kraemer avenue, 1.40 miles; Alta Vista avenue, 1.20 miles; East extension of Palm Drive, 1 mile; Dowling road, .70 miles; Blue Gum road,.25 miles; North Placentia avenue, 75 miles; Madison avenue,.75 miles; East Palm drive,.75 miles; Alta and Chapman avenues,.50 miles; Linda Vista avenue, 1.50 miles; Richfield road, 1.50 miles; Orangethorpe avenue, 1.25 miles. At least one new concrete bridge will be required in the paving program, according to officials of the Placentia chamber, in the 15.30 miles of paving although it will be necessary to condemn very little right-of-way. The Dowling road will open Placentia from the south, and Carolina avenue will be connecting link between Brea and Yorba Linda. Mrs. R. H.

Declared One of the Best Appointed Banking Institutions in Southern California—Fixures Alone Cost More Than Old Bank Building Is Worth—Institution Has Had Most Phenomenal Growth. One of the chief social functions of the year was the reception tendered Saturday afternoon and evening to the people of Anaheim and vicinity by the officials of the First National Bank, on the occasion of that institution's taking possession of its new home at the corner of Center and Claudina streets. Just how many thousands passed through the rooms during the open hours, from 2 o'clock until 10 o'clock, is not known, but it is supposed that the number equaled the entire population of Anaheim. They all came with outstretched hands, congratulatory messages and genuine expressions of good wishes. The visitors also had a curiosity to explore the interior behind the cages and the vaults where, according to the general accepted idea, barrels of money lie hidden. They saw the vaults with their impregnable walls and their massive steel doors, but the barrels were not visible. However, they were impressed with the fact that banking men who take charge of other people's money are put to a heavy expense to safeguard it from the festive burglar and the demon fire. All the officials and employees of the bank were on hand to welcome the visitors and pilot them through the spacious rooms. The floral display was the most beautiful ever seen in Anaheim. Specimens of all the flowers that grow in Southern California were used in making up the scores of baskets that had been sent in by admiring friends. It appeared that all the friends of the bank had determined to "Say It With Flowers." Many of the offerings came from Los Angeles and other neighboring towns, and evidently all the gardens of Southern California were stripped to make this offering. From 7 o'clock until 10 o'clock an orchestra, hidden behind banks of flowers, filled the great building with melody. The six-story building in which this bank is situated was erected by Samuel Kraemer, who began it as a home for the American Savings Bank, which was established in the First National Bank building. Many months ago it became evident that the building was not large enough for both, and that one would be compelled to move. Mr. Kraemer, a director in both banks, agreed to put up a building for the savings bank, and purchased the old Boston Bakery site, at the corner of Claudina and Center streets. He began the erection of a six-story building, the ground floor, the mezzanine floor and the basement to be given up wholly to the bank. The director then employed architects to plan a remodeling of the old building for the use of the First Avenue.

Members of the defense counsel today estimated that cost to approximate between $20,000 and $25,000. Attorneys on both sides, it has been announced, bore their own expenditures and served without fees. OVER 2000 PERSONS GIVEN COUNTY AID More than 2000 persons were given personal aid by Orange county last year, according to a report issued by W. S. Gregg, county aid commissioner. Medical assistance, furnishing of employment, and advice, legal and otherwise, coupled with an expenditure of nearly $50,000, are some of the high points mentioned by the commissioner in his report. "The last year has been exceptionally difficult from the wag-earner's point of view, but we are working back to normal times and will soon see a readjustment in conditions," Gregg predicted. The care of the indigent sick and dependent poor is undertaken only after a thorough investigation is made regarding the merits of the claims presented to the commission, according to Gregg. During the last year, 253 Mexican and 230 white families received aid under that provision. A confidential exchange list was established by the commission last year, bearing the names of needy persons who are assisted by the various clubs and societies, as well as those under county aid. Through this list, it has been possible to prevent much overlapping of charitable work among different organizations. "One of our hardest problems is that caused by the arrival of some families from the East who have nothing and expect everything," Gregg declared. "Under the California statutes, no person can be given county aid unless he has resided in the state for a period of two years. This makes the problem of alding such people difficult, but emergency cases are given temporary relief by the county as far as possible," the commissioner said. The commission now is caring for 135 children whose mothers are unable to support their families without outside help. In these cases the law requires that close relatives must first do all that is possible for their fortunate kin before the county lends a hand. The same principle was pointed out by Gregg in comments on the widow's pension system. Nearly all the states provide what is commonly termed a 'widow's pension,' but California aid is restricted to widows having two or more minor children." Declared. "It is in reality a provision for the protection and help of the children and not an old age pension.

OF JULY TOTAL MORE THAN $120,000 Total for Entire Month Last Year Only $52,780—Several Big Buildings Slated for Construction This Fall—S. Q. R. Store, Pickwick Stages and Others Mentioned as Possible Builders of Large Structures. Anaheim's building industry has entered the second half of the year 1925 with a start which offers every indication of placing the year's construction total in the banner column, for figures compiled by City Building Inspector R. P. Tompkins disclose the fact that up to July 16 total of permits issued was $121,445, while the 1924 figures for the entire month was $52780. Since January 1 total of the city's building investments amount to $282,577. The feature of the month's building is that only eight permits had been granted up to July 16. July records for the last five years are as follows: July, 1921.....$89,850 July, 1922.....184,939 July, 1923.....125,105 July, 1924.....52,780 July, 1925,...to date...121,445 This shows the present July total as beyond the total for the entire month in 1921 and 1924, within $4000 of the total for the entire month in 1923 and within $63,000 of the month's total in 1922, the banner month in the city's history. The yearly aggregates for the five-year period are: 1921.....$1,253,875.38 1922.....1,413,046.50 1923.....2,269,277.00 1924.....1,026,548.50 1925,...to date...282,577.00 Construction work in the city was very light during the first half of this year, reaching ebb tide in May when the month's total amounted to only $7840. In June it reached $50,080 with 28 permits granted; and the July figures to date show a gratifying increase of nearly three times total of the June figures with only eight permits granted. In her slump in construction during the first half of the year, Anaheim was not alone; for according to the national monthly building survey of S. W. Straus & Company, which has just been released, there was a national loss of 3.5 per cent in January; 7 per cent in February; and 13 per cent in March. While in April, May and June there was an increase in construction over the nation which placed total for the six months' period at a 5 per cent gain over the same period in 1924 and an 8 per cent gain over the same period in 1923. In Southern California, San Diego's construction shows a 14 per cent gain over last year; a 33 per cent gain over 1923 and an 86 per cent gain overthe comparable figure forthe year before. Pasadena's construction shows a 2 per cent gain over last year's record; 7 percent less than that of 1923; but 27 percent less than that of 1923.

Mr. Kraemer, a director in both banks, agreed to put up a building for the savings bank, and purchased the old Boston Bakery site, at the corner of Claudina and Center streets. He began the erection of a six-story building, the ground floor, the mezzanine floor and the basement to be given up wholly to the bank. The director then employed architects to plan a remodeling of the old building for the use of the First National Bank alone, but they reported that the room was inadequate to accommodate the expanding business. The directors then decided to make a change in their plans, moving the First National into the new quarters and giving up the old building entirely to the savings bank. This gives the savings bank ample room for its business in the old building. Some idea of the bank's new quarters may be gained from the fact that, while Mr. Kraemer put up the building, the directors put in the bank fixtures, which alone cost more money than the three-story building at the corner of Center and Los Angeles streets. Just vacated by the bank, is worth. It is one of the most splendid banking homes in Southern California. The First National is the pioneer bank of Anaheim—or the legitimate descendant of the pioneer. More than a quarter of a century ago, John Hartung purchased the interest of his pardner, Mr. Cahen, in the Citizens Bank and applied for a national charter. He interested other capitalists in the deal, among them being A. S. Bradford and Samuel Kraemer, and the old Citizens Bank became the First National. Messrs. Kraemer and Bradford were on the directorate, and they are still there. Anaheim was but a village at that time, but it grew and the bank kept pace with it. For many years the bank flourished under the management of Mr. Hartung and his son, Edgar, but about 10 years ago, having acquired a competence, he disposed of his interests to C. E. Holcomb. Mr. Holcomb managed the bank until 1918, when, owing to other affairs that required his attention, he disposed of his shares to F. C.

Williamson and Charlyn Tedrick have returned from the Epworth League Institute, which closed Sunday, at Pacific Palisades. Nearly all the states provide what is commonly termed a 'widow's pension,' but California aid is restricted to widows having two or more minor children," he declared. "It is in reality a provision for the protection and help of the children and not an old age pension. Where there are two or more grown children, the responsibility rests partly with them, and they should be encouraged to assume the family burdens as far as possible." A day nursery in Santa Ana has been operated for the purpose of caring for babies whose mothers work during the day. The children can be left at the nursery under good care at a nominal daily charge, according to the commissioner. Statistics of the report indicate a greater number of Mexican individuals served by the commission than whites. Gregg accounts for this by the larger number of children in Mexican families. In 1916, 616 persons were assisted by the county, compared with the 2079 this year. This is considered a good index to growth of the work of the department. "County aid, raised by taxes, is naturally restricted in the disposal of funds to residents of the county, except in extreme cases of temporary need which can be adjusted quickly," said the commissioner. "On the other hand, the charity work done by the various clubs and societies is unlimited in scope, and when not over-lapped, is productive of much benefit to its recipients," he added. The main expenditures for this year were made for general merchandise, bridalis, nursing and physician's salary, drugs, clothing, rentals and transportation.

ETTE ANAHEIM—YOUR CITY Founded by German Colonists, 1857 Assessed Value, 1925, $10,500,000 School System Valued at $951,000 Number 41 THE YEAR'S CROP Branches Breaking From Heavy Laden Walnut Trees Here WALNUT trees in Orange county are so heavily laden with nuts that serious damage is being done by breaking of branches, according to John E. Gowen, secretary of the Santa Ana Valley Walnut Growers' Association. For the most part, it is the top branches that are breaking, Gowen said. This is due chiefly to the fact that it is virtually impossible to brace the upper boughs, he explained. Practically every section of the walnut district is affected. Orange county will have approximately 60 per cent more walnuts this year than last, and the increase for the Southland as a whole will be about 35 per cent, the association official predicted. "Last year's crop is practically cleaned up, which means that the growers will receive good prices for the 1925 production," Gowen said. "Reports from all over the country indicate that there will be few obstacles in the way of selling this year's crop." THOS. CRAWFORD MISSING FOR MANY DAYS FAMILY ASKS POLICE TO INSTITUTE WORLD-WIDE SEARCH FOR HIM Left Home July 10 on Land Deal at Yuma, but Failed to Return on Scheduled Date, and No Evidence Found That He Reached Yuma—Fears Entertained He May Have Been Overcome by Intense Heat. Since the hunt was started Tuesday, for Thomas Crawford, mysteriously missing, one of the stage REORGANIZATION OF TRAFFIC FORCE Orange County's Squad Will Not Be Affected by Change Following reports received Saturday from Sacramento that a state-wide reorganization of the traffic department of the state division of motor vehicles was taking place, and that various changes were to be made throughout California, it was freely predicted in local police and county offices that Orange county would not be affected by the proposed changes. That Orange county has one of the best traffic squads in the state, one that stands at the top of the list, was reflected by a visit to the local department several days ago by Will H. Marsh, chief of the state department. Marsh conferred with county supervisors when here regarding the local squad and, on leaving, is said to have remarked that he was well pleased with the Orange county squad, and that he classed it as high as the San Diego group, which he had previously declared was the best in the state. Capt. Henry S. Warner, head of the local department, declared today that, from the manner in which Marsh talked to him regarding the officers, he felt certain that his squad was considered among the best in the state, and that he felt no apprehension regarding the proposed shakeup. Members of the local force have broken into the limelight recently on several important cases and have made names for themselves throughout the state, police officers say. At the present time, the local squad is directing its energy against alleged speeding by heavy trucks on the boulevards. Sudden Death Calls Old-Time Resident INSTITUTE WORLD-WIDE SEARCH FOR HIM Left Home July 10 on Land Deal at Yuma, but Failed to Return on Scheduled Date, and No Evidence Found That He Reached Yuma—Fears Entertained He May Have Been Overcome by Intense Heat. Since the hunt was started Tuesday, for Thomas Crawford, mysteriously missing, one of the stage drivers, who passes through this city daily, reports that he met Mr. Crawford driving into the city in his car on the morning of Friday, July 10. If this is true, the missing man must have reached the city, although he did not put in an appearance at his office. Much anxiety is felt in Anaheim over the continued absence of Thomas Crawford, who left his home here on the morning of July 10, ostensibly for Yuma, Arizona, for the purpose of consumating a real estate deal. Early that morning Mr. Crawford received a telephone message, and notified his wife that he had made an appointment to show a prospective purchaser a tract of land near Yuma which he had for sale. He drove away that morning, telling Mrs. Crawford that he would stop at a Yuma hotel, as there were better accommodations there than at the small town nearby where the land is situated. That was the last that has been seen of him. Owing to his absence beyond the period he expected to be away and his failure to communicate with her, Mrs. Crawford became alarmed. Believing he had gone from Anaheim to Los Angeles to pick up his client there, she phoned to the office and learned that he had not called there on the tenth nor any subsequent date. His sons George and Donald went down to Yuma last week and enlisted the police in the search; but his name could not be found on any hotel register. Inquiry along the road failed to reveal any trace of him at any town through which he would pass, or at any service station along the highway. In fact, he apparently vanished from the moment he left his home on Broadway. The man who was supposed to accompany him to inspect the land has not shown up nor made any inquiries, either at the office or at his home here. While Mrs. Crawford communicated with the police last week and a still hunt was made both here and at Yuma, the matter was kept secret. But on Tuesday she decided to give the news to the papers and try to locate him through publicity. She is not disposed to believe that he is a victim of violence, but he may have been overcome by the intense heat of the desert country prevailing during the past two weeks, and may have wandered off the traveled road. Now that the affair is given publicity, every effort will be made to locate him. Mr. Crawford is one of Anaheim's most prominent citizens, and the entire Sudden Death Calls Old-Time Resident Miss Mary Kiser, sister of Mrs. Stephen Kistler, died suddenly at the Kistler home Monday evening, heart failure being the cause. Miss Kiser was born in Bastle, Switzerland, 62 years ago, but has lived in Anaheim for the past 34 years, for many years assisting Mr. and Mrs. Kister while they were running the Boston Bakery. Monday evening, while sitting in the family circle, reading a paper, she complained of a sudden pain in her chest, and a moment later fell back dead. The body was taken to the parlors of Backs, Terry & Campbell, where the rosary was recited yesterday morning. Funeral services will be held at St. Boniface church, at 9:30 this morning, and interment will be in the family lot in Anaheim cemetery. The building is being erected at a cost of $100,000.

Wents, mother of Mrs. Ames, left Friday for a month's trip into Alaska. The trip was made by train to Seattle, where the party will board a steamier for Victoria and Vancouver, British Columbia. After a short stop in those cities, they will leave for Skagway, the end of the ocean journey. From there they will travel by government railway to its northernmost point, with a side journey to Lake Atlin, in northwest British Columbia. On their return trip the party will stop at Portland, Orca, where a trip over the scenic Columbia River highway is planned. They expect to return to this city about the middle of August.
