ANAHEIM GAZETTE ESTABLISHED 1870 ISSUED EVERY THURSDAY Henry Kuchel, Editor and Proprietor SUBSCRIPTION PER YEAR $1.50 SIX MONTHS $1.00 THREE MONTHS $ .50 Entered at the Anaheim Postoffice as second-class matter FIFTY YEARS AGO In the column on the second page of this issue devoted to items taken from The Gazette of 50 years ago will be found a number of very interesting political notes, which are commended to the perusal of our readers. There was politics in those early days in California, as well as at the present time. Our people talked politics then just as they do today. One of the contests of particular interest in the campaign of 1875 was the race between P. D. Wigginton of Merced county and S. O. Houghton of San Jose for congressman in this district. The interesting point in this fight is that while the Eleventh district at present comprises the five southernmost counties in this state with Mono and Inyo counties added, which alignment was made following the census 15 years ago, the district in that early day ran far enough north to take in the two counties referred to; namely, Merced and Santa Clara. This was the Third Congressional district. Los Angeles county embraced Orange, San Bernardino and Riverside counties, and a short time before Kern county as well. This district embraced more than half the territory of the state. Wigginton spoke in Anaheim from a platform erected in front of Goldstein's brewery on Center street, east of the Valencia hotel, which occupies the site of the old Anaheim hotel, while Houghton spoke from a platform erected on Los Angeles street near Center, at the side, of the old Planters hotel, where Heying's drug store now stands. The one was Democratic headquarters, the other was Republican stamming ground. Buena Park Notes (By MRS. J. P. ROBISON) Mrs. L. T. Wilsey, president of the Woman's Club, and Mrs. J. F. Green-walt, chairman of the Dahla Show, are very busy with the preparations for the Third Annaul Dahla Show, to be held at Buena Park, September 1. A baby daughter was born Sunday to Mrs. Charles Hillman of Victorville. Mrs. Hillman has been visiting her parents, Mr. and Mrs. J. H. Whitezell, on Western avenue, for the past month. Mrs. Francis Bowes and daughters, Elizabeth and Marie, and son, Francis, Jr., of La Habra were guests of Mrs. F. J. Huguenot, Saturday. J. F. Ferritt is building an addition to his plumbing shop and sheet metal works. The addition will cost about $1000. Mr. and Mrs. James Calder, Miss Dorothy Winters, Mr. and Mrs. Herbert Hunt and son, Dale, are spending two weeks at the Winters cottage at Lake Arrowhead. Mrs. Paul Coffman and baby, who were guests last week of her uncle, C. A. Spohn and family, returned to her home in Los Angeles, Monday. A. A. Greer, who has had charge of Homewood subdivision real estate office for the A. B. C. Sales Company, has resigned his position and F. Willard of Los Angeles has been appointed to succeed him. The Ladies' Aid of the Congregational church is remodeling the parsonage, also the community hall. A new bathroom has been added to the parsonage and plastering repaired, and this week the ladies expect to do papering and painting. The new minister, Rev. W. W. Hart, will move here from Inglewood as soon as the parsonage is ready. Rev. and Mrs. Hart were weekend guests of Mr. and Mrs. H. H. Haggarty. Mrs. Barron was Buena Park. Mr. and Mrs.' friends at Glencoe. Guests of Mrs. Sunday were Krouse of Pomona. Mrs. Paul Lu at the Robeson. W. B. Shaw two weeks' vacancy. Anaheim's most polite, too politic the rather exotic M. L.

Shell Oil Lease That the Sheeh within 90 days, near Talbert, was learned that and northeast leased to the company has agreed to do vided it can get Negotiations an Wigginton spoke in Anaheim from a platform erected in front of Goldstein's brewery on Center street, east of the Valencia hotel, which occupies the site of the old Anaheim hotel, while Houghton spoke from a platform erected on Los Angeles street near Center, at the side of the old Planters hotel, where Heying's drug store now stands. The one was Democratic headquarters, the other was Republican stamping ground. The Civil war was not so many years over, and there were heated political arguments in those days, to be sure. Today California is probably entitled on the basis of its present population, to 17 or 18 congressmen, and when the new re-appointment bill is passed, following the next census in 1930, the state will be entitled to several more—just how many more we have not the nerve to say. We are approaching the end of the Eleventh Congressional district as it is at present constituted. If a man wants to make a guess, he might say that Orange, San Bernardino and Riverside counties will form one new congressional district and that San Diego and Imperial counties will form another. If that is so, what will become of Swing? Who knows, and who gives a dang? OUR GAIN IN WEALTH Those who point to our supposedly great gain in wealth during the World war, and the accompanying impoverishment of Europe as a reason why Uncle Sam should so kindly forget what Europe owes him, would do well to consult the figures, for they are somewhat surprising. According to the World Almanac, the total estimated wealth of the United States in 1922 was $320,803,862,000 against $186,299,664,000 in 1912, or an increase in that period of about 70 percent. The purchasing power of the dollar was about one-third less in 1922 than in 1912, so that the increase was not so great after all. Yet as the August number of the National Republic points out, the wealth of the United States increased from 1904 to 1912, a period of eight years, 73.9 per cent, measured in dollars of practically equal value. But to go further: Belgium's national wealth in 1912 was five and a half billions. In 1922 it had increased to twelve billions, which is a gain of over 100 per cent, compared with our gain of 70 per cent. From 1908 to 1912, the wealth of France increased three and a half billion dollars. But from 1912 to 1922 France's wealth increased from fifty-eight and a half billion to ninety billion dollars, or at the rate of over twelve billions every four years. In other words, to quote again from the National Republic, France is twenty-four and a quarter billions richer than she would have been had her wealth. The Ladies' Aid of the Congregational church is remodeling the parsonage, also the community hall. A new bathroom has been added to the parsonage and plastering repaired, and this week the ladies expect to do papering and painting. The new minister, Rev. W. W. Hart, will move here from Inglewood as soon as the parsonage is ready. Rev. and Mrs. Hart were weekend guests of Mr. and Mrs. H. H. Haggarty. Mrs. M. S. Berkey returned Saturday afternoon from a two weeks' visit to Van Nuys She was accompanied by her daughter, Mrs. O. C. House, and family, who spent the evening with Mrs. Berkey. Other guests for the evening were: Mr. and Mrs. L. E. Berkey and daughter; Elizabeth; Mr. and Mrs. Frank Payton of Fullerton, and Mrs. J. B. Robison and son, Albert. Mr. and Mrs. Luther Wilson of Imperial Valley spent the latter part of last week visiting R. A. Wilson of Tenth street. Mr. and Mrs. R. C. Spohn and Mrs. C. A. Spohn left Monday for a motor trip to San Diego and Mexico. Mr. and Mrs. Fred Bastady and children, Edwin and Barbara, visited relatives in Pasadena, Sunday. Mr. and Mrs. Harry Horn and family and their guests, Mrs. George Thurman and Mr. and Mrs. Harold Thurman of Lodi, spent Sunday at Long Beach. Mrs. T. R.

Mrs.Paul Coffman of Los Angeles and Mr. and Mrs.R.C.Spohn were dinner guests of Mr. and Mrs.J.H.Spohn,Saturday evening.

In 1922 it had increased to twelve billion, which is a gain of over 100 per cent, compared with our gain of 70 per cent. From 1908 to 1912, the wealth of France increased three and a half billion dollars.

In other words, to quote again from the National Republic, France is twenty-four and a quarter billions richer than she would have been had her wealth continued to increase from 1912 at only the pre-war rate. And during the ten years beginning in 1912 the wealth of Italy increased 60 per cent. So it would seem that after all Uncle Sam did not keep pace with her European debtors in percentage increase of wealth during the world struggle. VALUE OF AN ACRE What's an acre worth? is a question that used to tantalize the oil men far more than the age of Ann or the complexes of a roadside chicken. It was never settled, for each new deal in oil lands gave a different answer. Eventually it simmered down to a problem of relativity—the relation between the nerve of the seller and the hypnosis of the come-on. But here is a new answer, though not for oil lands. The city of Chicago has decided to spend $100,000,000 to dredge up mud from Lake Michigan's bottom and make 1200 acres of new land on the waterfront to be used for parks. That works out at $33,333 an acre. It sounds steep. And that gives us the answer that for some purposes land may be worth anything you have to pay for it. If you had to live in a huge, crowded city like Chicago, you would think no price too steep to pay for a bit of park breathing space. These Chicago figures also give us a fine idea of the value of our own Golden Gate Park, which covers about 1200 acres. Is it too much to say that Golden Gate Park is worth $100,000,000 to San Francisco? We think not. In fact, every acre of it is worth far more than $33,333. Ray Souder and family of Los Angeles enjoyed a family picnic at Seal Beach, Sunday. R. H. Bacon and family were pleasantly surprised Saturday evening, when his sister, Mrs. Ella Horton and son, Cecil, of Girard, Ill., arrived to make them a visit.

ANAHEIM GAZETTE Banker Must Give Better Argument Olmstead Must Show Legal Authority for Injunction Unless attorneys for E. L. Olmstead, former president of the First National Bank of Brea, can produce legal authority showing that the alleged wrongful conversion of his $42,000 Brea bank stock by W. D. Howard, president of the Continental National Bank of Los Angeles, should not be considered under the usual rule of law governing such cases, no temporary injunction will be granted by the Superior court to prevent transfer of the stock to F. F. Miller, asserted representative of Howard. This was indicated by Judge Emerson J. Marks, when the Olmstead case came before him Friday, on an order to Howard to show cause why a temporary injunction should not be issued. Howard's attorney cited statutes showing that in cases of claimed conversion of personal property, no temporary injunction shall be issued. The court accepted this as the usual rule which would be applied in the case unless authorities could be produced showing that a different rule should apply, by reason perhaps of other damages that might result to Olmstead through loss of his bank stock, besides the value of the stock itself. This, the court said, appeared to be claimed, though not clearly, in Olmstead's complaint, in the statement that he faced loss of the presidency of the bank with the loss of his stock. Attorney W. I. Gilbert, representing Olmstead, declared that he was entitled to the temporary injunction on the ground that the alleged conversion of stock was not yet complete, because the stock had not been transferred, and that Olmstead had a right to block the conversion until merits of the case could be heard. Gilbert objected to statements by Howard's attorneys that damage for loss of the bank presidency could not be claimed as grounds for an injunction because Olmstead has been removed as grounds for an injunction.

You'll never find dise bought to me We won't treat our Shell Oil Company Leasing at Talbert That the Shell Oil Company is likely within 90 days, to start drilling for oil near Talbert, was indicated when it was learned that 1000 acres east, north and northeast of Talbert recently were leased to the company. This company has agreed to drill within 90 days, provided it can get 1500 acres under lease. Negotiations are now under way by which it is expected that the acreage sought will soon be signed for. This activity is in an area west of the Santa Ana river, across the river from the Santa Ana Gardens tract and Greenville section, where the Standard Oil Company has been drilling for several weeks. This morning oil lease rental checks were received by farmers in the Greenville section, which takes their rental to the Standard company into September. The Shell leases, it is reported, are not in the nature of a community lease. Each property is taken separately, with the exception of the provision that if a total of 1500 acres is secured drilling will start within 90 days on some piece of land to be selected by the Shell company as it sees fit. The point of drilling has not been designated. Captain Bert Moody of the Anaheim police returned some days ago from Catalina, where, in company with his wife, he spent his vacation. He declares Catalina the finest place in the world to enjoy a vacation. Mrs. Julia Betker died Thursday morning at the home of her daughter, Mrs. Carl Jungkelt, who resides on a ranch west of this city. Mrs. Betker had been in Anaheim only a week, coming here from Oregon, where she had made her home with her son for several years. She is survived by two daughters, Mrs. Jungkelt and Mrs. E. M. Andrews of this city, and three sons, one in Anaheim, one in Oregon and one in Germany. Funeral services were held Monday afternoon. It is o'clock, at the Huddle funeral home, Rev. O. R. Schroeder, pastor of the German Baptist church, officiating. Burial was made in the Anaheim cemetery. FITS TO ORDER The westernization of Japan includes compulsory teaching of English in the schools, but it does not include a grammatical censorship of signboards of merchants eager to show their knowledge of the English tongue. A Yokohama tailor, for example, has started making women's clothing on approved Fifth avenue lines. "Ladies have fits upstairs," his sign reads. Attorney W. I. Gilbert, representing Olmstead, declared that he was entitled to the temporary injunction on the ground that the alleged conversion of stock was not yet complete, because the stock had not been transferred, and that Olmstead had a right to block the conversion until merits of the case could be heard. Gilbert objected to statements by Howard's attorneys that damage for loss of the bank presidency could not be claimed as grounds for an injunction because Olmstead has been removed as president of the bank since the stock tangle developed. Such a statement was "outside the record." Gilbert declared, with a thrust at Howard's part in the affair, which precipitated a heated side debate between the attorneys. Judge Marks halted the argument. The court granted Howard permission to file an affidavit with Olmstead's attorneys, setting forth alleged facts regarding the later developments, which Gilbert claimed were outside the record and of which he had no formal knowledge. The filing of this affidavit, with the amending of Olmstead's complaint to meet it, will be filed with the court within the next few days, the attorneys advised the court. Legal authorities to support the rival contentions will be filed at the same time, it is understood. Olmstead, who besides being president of the Brea bank, recently was made vice-president of the Continental National Bank, of which Howard is president, charges that his superior officer is trying to defraud him of the Brea bank stock, which controls that institution. Howard interested Olmstead in stock of the State Securities Company, which Howard also controlled, according to Olmstead. The Brea bank posted his Brea stock with the Los Angeles bank as security for a $40,000 note he gave for stock in the State Securities corporation. It was understood, he said, that the note would be carried for a long time by the Los Angeles bank, until he could conveniently arrange to pay it off. It was a demand note. Without demand upon him or notice to him, Howard sold the Brea bank stock to F. F. Miller, who is Howard's own personal representative, Olmstead claims. Miller promptly appeared at the Brea bank to demand transfer of the stock on the books, but was put off by a demand for further identification. Meanwhile, Olmstead started the court proceedings to block the transfer. "Outside the record," it is understood that Olmstead withdrew as president of the Brea bank, pending settlement of the stock dispute. Vice-President John D. Slerev succeeded him as president and Cashier W. C. Davis was made vice-president. POST WARNINGS AGAINST SEWER Quarantine posters, reading: "This beach is dangerous from sewage pollution," will be posted by the state health authorities along the beach between Huntington Beach and Newport Beach, within a distance of about two miles on each side of the Orange county joint outfall, it was announced by Dr. V. G. Presson, county health officer. Advices setting forth the proposed action of the state authorities were received today by the county health officer, coupled with information that R. F. Goudy, sanitary engineer of the state health board, has recommended that the sewer outfall system be reconstructed and lengthened so as to eliminate pollution of the beach waters and resultant menace to public health. Action on the recommendations submitted by Sanitary Engineer Goudy will be taken by the state health board at its regular meeting, to be held August 15, in San Francisco. The various Orange county communities comprising the joint outfall sewer district will be represented at the meeting; it was said Councilman C. H. Chapman and City Engineer Nat H. Neff will represent Santa Ana; it was learned at the city hall. Recommendations submitted by Sanitary Engineer Goudy call for the extension of the sewer outfall into the PROGRESS Two recent developments have focused public attention on Graham Brothers Trucks as never before. One was the sweeping price reductions of May 15th, ranging from $80 to $160. The other was Graham Brothers ascendancy to leadership by building more 1½-ton trucks than any other manufacturer in the world, during the first quarter of 1925, and by achieving second position in the 1-ton and 1½-ton fields combined. Progress such as this deserves public attention—and eliminates all doubt as to the logical truck to buy! 1-Ton Chassis, $1280; 1½-Ton Chassis, $1560; Delivered CHAS. H.
