Alvin E. Block of the Balboa Chamber of Commerce and Hon. S. C. Hartranft, assemblyman from Orange county, both deprecated the fact that eastern people who labored for wages had read California literature and been induced by it to come here with the expectation of finding easy employment at high wages. On their arrival here they found conditions in that respect exactly as they were at home, consequently they returned to their former places of abode, believing all California exploitation to be false. "We are over-reaching ourselves in advertising," Block declared. "California needs to catch up in its development and building program by devoting attention to internal improvement." "Our appeal to the easterner is made entirely to the leisure class. We advertise our mountain scenes, our beach attractions, our scenic drives, but we never tell of the opportunities for employment." Mr. Hartranft expressed the same sentiments. "Over-advertising of climatic and scenic advantages will bring no benefit. It is to our interest that we do not advertise too greatly." Discussion of the policy of over-advertising California was thrown open by H. A. Lake, presiding president. In considering the question, the chamber members aired the Florida boom. It was held that the Florida inflation was dangerous and values would collapse within a short time. Substantial, steady growth was declared the only security for the prosperity of any section. So far as we know, there has never been any extravagant exploiting of advantages offered by this section of the state. Anaheim has never made a bid for more wage earners, because there has never been an extra demand for them, with the exception of the war period. There are a few men temporarily out of work here now, owing to the annual stagnation in business during the summer months and the curtailment of oil production, but nobody is going hungry and nobody needing aid. In all its literature distributed by its booster body, Anaheim has been careful to avoid exaggeration. We have appealed to the homeseeker who wishes to acquire a small tract of fertile land and be able, after a few well spent years, to sit down under his own vine and fig tree and live happy ever after. We have appealed to the capitalist who is desirous of placing his money in a safe investment and watching it multiply through advancing values. We have appealed to the industrialist, and have pointed out the advantages offered by this community as a manufacturing center. In all these things we have told the truth, and it is impossible to over-advertise when you are making good your promises. The investor will find virgin land only a half hour's distance from Anaheim by automobile which can still be bought RECHECK SHOWS BANDITS GOT $2100 Two Men and One Woman in Custody on Suspicion More than $2100 was stolen by the bandits who last Monday night shot and fatally wounded Elmer E. Campbell, express messenger, and then robbed the baggage coach of Sahta Fe train No. 75, according to an announcement made in Los Angeles, where it was said that a recheck of the mail contents showed that one sack was missing and that it contained $2100 in paper bills. It had been previously announced by the railroad company that the bandits secured only $5 in the robbery and that all mail sacks had been accounted for. Two men and a woman, Everett Lewis, Robert Lee and Pearl Anderson, are being held in the Los Angeles jail in connection with the crime, but no direct charges have been filed against them. Orange county authorities said that no steps had been taken toward bringing the trio to trial on the charges of murder and robbery. Detectives declare that Lewis and Lee left the George H. Shreve ranch, near Escondido, early Monday night, with shotguns in their machine. Lee is alleged to have admitted this, but declared that they were going rabbit hunting. Pearl Anderson said she was with the men at the ranch Monday night, according to a Los Angeles report, and is said to have maintained that she accompanied the men on their rabbit hunt. The three were arrested after an automobile, identified as belonging to Lewis, was said to have been seen near the Santa Ana station prior to the finding of the unconscious Campbell on the floor of the mail coach. The Santa Fe railroad has posted notices along its right-of-way from Los Angeles to San Diego, offering a reward of $100 for the apprehension of the bandits, it was said today.

We have appealed to the capitalist who is desirous of placing his money in a safe investment and watching it multiply through advancing values. We have appealed to the industrialist, and have pointed out the advantages offered by this community as a manufacturing center. In all these things we have told the truth, and it is impossible to over-advertise when you are making good your promises. The investor will find virgin land only a half hour's distance from Anaheim by automobile which can still be bought for less than $1000 per acre, and which with intelligent handling can, within a few years, be brought to many times its purchase price in value. The investor will find a live and growing city that is enjoying a steady growth in wealth and population, and in which an investment in real estate is as safe as a government bond. The manufacturer will find cheap gas, cheap water, excellent transportation facilities and the Pacific coast market awaiting him. In exploiting these advantages we have told the truth, therefore we have not over-advertised. WELCOME VISITORS Mr. and Mrs. James T. Halpin of Los Angeles were in town some evenings ago, calling upon old-time friends and neighbors. Mr. Halpin is chef at one of the city's largest department stores, and one day recently served more than a thousand guests at dinner. He is one of the leading caterers in the city and makes an ideal purveyor of food, tipping the beam at 240 pounds. We have always heard that a hotel man should never be lean and lanky. Jim is trying to hold his weight down, but it seems to be of little use. Mrs. Halpin was formerly Miss Fannie Rowe of this city, sister of Mrs. John J. Everharty, and she and her husband have many warm personal friends throughout the county. They are prosperous and happy, and own valuable property in a desirable residence location and are getting along very well. It is a pleasure to meet this delightful couple, who have been taking such a keen interest in the progress of affairs in this city, and we shall look forward with anticipations of pleasure to meeting with them again. Frank Ey Surprises Former Pioneers Makes Initial Venture in Real Estate Here 50 Years Ago Frank Ey was a visitor in town on Tuesday, arriving from Santa Ana to attend the funeral of his old-time friend, T. S. Grimshaw, whom he had known since the 70's. Frank came to Anaheim in 1874, when 23 years of age. In San Francisco he often saw Governor Stanford, Charles Crocker, James G. Fair and other magnates from whom he asked advice about investing his money in mining shares. Stanford told him to keep his money and have nothing to do with stock purchases. When Frank arrived in Anaheim, his first venture in real estate was the purchase at public auction of a two-story building and lot across the alley from Langenberger's store, on Lemon street, where the new S. Q. R. building is now in course of erection. He astonished the old-timers in running up the bidding, and every time one would top him, he was right back with a raise. The property was finally bid off to him by R. W. Scott, the auctioneer, for $2800. Frank paid over several hundred dollars to bind the bargain, and the old-timers considered that too much money had been paid for the property. The next day Joseph Jordan, the Placenta sheepman, offered Frank an advance of $300 on his purchase. When this came to the cars of Auctioneer Scott, he went into court and annuled the sale. Jordan later bought the property and Mr.'s Grimshaw occupied the lower floor for years as a wheelwright. Frank had a knack of accumulating money, and was the best dressed man in town, his shiny silk hat being one of the features of Sunday afternoons' promenades. He made many investments in property here and elsewhere and retired from active business pursuits a number of years ago. He now notices along its right-of-way from Los Angeles to San Diego, offering a reward of $100 for the apprehension of the bandits, it was said today.

A. Hemmi Denies Complicity In Mail Robbery JUDGE J. A. HEMMI, who is now sojourning in the North, writes a letter in which he emphatically denies complicity in the Anaheim mail robbery. "I was not 'principal' or even accessory to any mail robbery. A brother Mason, whom I had held as a dear friend, and whose children and mother I loved as if they had been my own, gave me some currency which he said he had obtained as a commission in a big deal, and prevailed on me to assist him in investing some of it and converting it into securities. I did so. And that is all I did, not knowing at the time anything about a mail robbery, or any robbery." Hemmi is wroth because newspapers frequently referred to him as one of the principals in the robbery. He stoutly maintained throughout his trial that he was not aware the money he received from Abernathy. TAX COLLECTIONS LOWER THAN LAST YEAR COUNTY LEVY TO REMAIN THE SAME, BUT ASSESSMENT REDUCED Economical Government Makes Reduction in the Budget Possible—Estimate Expenditures for the Year Is Less Than Two and a Half Million Dollars—No Official Action Yet. While it is intimated that the county tax levy will be fixed at the same figure as that of last year, viz., $1.35 inside of incorporated cities and $1.75 outside. Yellowtail Are Beginning to Run At Newport Beach SCORES of Newport Beach fishermen are restlessly awaiting the season's run of yellowtail. Already the advance of yellowtail have come. Several of the prize fighting fish have been hooked at the wharf, but none have been successfully landed. The first catch of the season has yet to be made. Havoc has been wrought in the outfits by the yellowtail that have escaped. In their fighting the colored fins have snapped and tangled lines. Veteran fishermen say that a big school of the fish will be in some time early in September. Preparations are being made to hook some of the prize yellowtail with special outfits when the cry, "They're running!" goes out. Fishing in other lines continues active, it is reported. Last week one of the most exceptional catches of years was made here, when a 24-pound tuna was landed from the pier. Abandons Road; Leaves Five-Spot Well-Known Traveling Salesman Resigns Post and Starts in Business for Himself Frederic Nicolas, who has been making this territory for many years as traveling salesman for a Los Angeles paper house, has resigned his position and will go into the publishing business for himself. He is associated with a number of capitalists who are making an investment of $100,000 at Keeney Grove, near Azusa, where a five-acre lot has been given them for the enterprise. Nick is one of the best printers in Southern California, and will be in charge of mechanical operations, as well as the purchasing of paper and supplies. He will engage in the publication of legal documents and law books, and sees a very bright future ahead. While in town, a week or so ago, Nick was tagged by a motorcycle officer for speeding, and walked up to the captain's office and paid a five-spot to help the town along. He has been traveling out of Los Angeles for more than 20 years, and life will be a drear and desolate waste without his weekly visits. He is always pleasant when writing up one's orders and grouchy as the devil when he gets nothing. Oh, Nick, whatever shall we do without you? Bumper Crops in Idaho and Montana Bumper crops throughout Idaho and Montana is the keynote for the new era of prosperity in those two states, according to George E. Vadney of The Gazette staff, who has just returned from a two weeks' vacation spent at his former home in Idaho. Threshing is in progress in the Boise valley, in central Idaho, and wheat land is producing from 40 to 50 bushels to the acre, the grain bringing from $2.35 to $2.40 per hundred at the cars. Hemmi is wroth because newspapers frequently referred to him as one of the principals in the robbery. He stoutly maintained throughout his trial that he was not aware the money he received from Abernathy was stolen. He was convicted, however, but received a light sentence—only seven months in the Orange county jail. COUNTY HEAVY TO REMAIN THE SAME, BUT ASSESSMENT REDUCED Economical Government Makes Reduction in the Budget Possible—Estimate Expenditures for the Year Is Less Than Two and a Half Million Dollars—No Official Action Yet. While it is intimated that the county tax levy will be fixed at the same figure as that of last year, viz., $1.35 inside of incorporated cities and $1.75 outside, it means a reduction of 5 percent under last year's taxes by reason of the 5 per cent reduction in the valuation of taxable property. The county rate itself will not be formally fixed by the county supervisors until September 8, but when the auditor this week presented the county budget for the coming year, the board approved his estimate that last year's rates would serve to raise sufficient taxes for this year's budget, despite the drop in assessed valuation. Tentative fixing of the rate enabled Jerome to proceed at once with the work of "extending" tax amounts upon the county tax rolls, which will then be turned over to the tax collector for collection. School and special district rates remain to be fixed, but, according to Jerome, will show a tendency in most cases to go slightly below the rates of last year, except in one or two districts where new and issues were voted, or building funds were raised. The Santa Ana school district is one of those likely to have a higher rate, he said. The total rate of $1.75 includes the 10-cent rate outside cities for road taxes, the inside rate covering all other items of the budget, with the aid of anticipated revenues from other sources and funds carried over from former years. The budget to be thus covered totals $2,472,000. Under the inside rate of $1.35, there will be $1,970,000 raised in taxes. Anticipated revenues amount to $250,000, or half of the $600,000 not covered by the tax money. The remaining $250,000, Jerome says, will be covered by balances carried forward from former years. "Anticipated revenues" include fines collected in the courts, fees and other receipts of county offices, interest upon public money, income from franchises, receipts from the county farm and hospital, and allotment of funds from the state. The hospital fund will, it is expected, receive $49,000 from the sale of aranges, fees from pay patients and the state allotment for "orphan aid." Fees, fines and receipts will provide $80,000 for the salary fund. Interest on county money will reach $45,00 and franchise payments will amount to $16,000, it is estimated. Outstanding items of the budget are: $400,000 for maintenance and repairs of roads, of which $300,000 is raised under the 20-cent tax rate for that purpose, and $100,000 comes from the gasoline tax; $133,000 for retiring principal and interest on bonds; $540,000 for outfits by the yellowtail that have escaped. In their fighting the colored fins have snapped and tangled lines. Veteran fishermen say that a big school of fish will be in some time early in September. Preparations are being made to hook some of the prize yellowtail with special outfits when the cry. "They're running!" goes out. Fishing in other lines continues active, it is reported. Last week one of the most exceptional catches of years was made here, when a 24-pound tuna was landed from the pier. Halibut have been caught through-out the summer. Lately, big bonita and their cousins, the skipjacks, have been taken. Gas Company Moves Office to New Site Now Located at 114 S. Claudina St., Back of City Hall To provide for the future growth of Anaheim and to improve, wherever possible, its service to the gas consuming public of this community, the local Southern Counties Gas Company has opened new spacious offices at 114 South Claudina street. The gas office was thrown open to the public on Monday, August 11, and all local consumers are urged by the company to transact business pertaining to their gas service at the company's new quarters. The gas office on Claudina street is spacious and of late design. The architect was Eugene Durfee of Anaheim, and the building contractors on the job were South & Franzen of Anaheim. The building materials used in the structure were purchased in Anaheim, and all help employed by the company on the work was local, according to J. C. Hayden. Anaheim district manager of the company. The work of remodeling the gas office began on July 1, and the building was ready for occupancy by the end of August. The gas company maintained its old offices at 238 East Center street until Saturday, August 29, when the move to the new quarters was made. "The old gas office occupied by the company on Center街 was used for 11 years," said J. C. Hayden. "During this period the number of consumers in this territory has grown considerably. In order to provide for the future growth of our business here,the company has opened its new quarters at 114 South Claudina street. In this new building provision was made for displaying our gas appliances. We cordially invite the gas consuming public of Anaheim to visit our new gas office where all matters concerning their service and accounts will be given every consideration," concluded Hayden. Schumacher Sued Bumper crops throughout Idaho and Montana is the keynote for the new era of prosperity in those two states, according to George E. Vadney of The Gazette staff, who has just returned from a two weeks' vacation spent at his former home in Idaho. Threshing is in progress in the Boise valley, in central Idaho, and wheat land is producing from 40 to 50 bushels to the acre, the grain bringing from $2.35 to $2.40 per hundred at the cars. A bumper crop of barley and potatoes has also been harvested, with prices higher than at any time since the war. Early fruit in the fruit growing districts of Idaho was badly damaged by late frosts, but an excellent yield of late fruits, such as apples, pears and prunes, will be harvested and a good market with high prices is predicted. In the dry farming districts of Montana large crops of grain have been harvested and, according to William Willis of San Diego, who owns and operates a 500-acre farm at Polson, Mont., and who returned to California with Mr. Vadney, the Montana farmers are this year receiving the first actual profits from their farms since 1916. Heavy snows during the past winter, with ideal growing weather during the summer months, is said to be the cause for the heavy production in both states and this, coupled with the general good prices, will place the farmers in better shape than they have been for several years. Paul Hester, erstwhile editor of the Plain Dealer, which suspended publication last spring, has sold his residence on Melrose street to City Clerk Merritt and has departed with his family for the East. Abandoned Oil Well Now Flowing Water Delegations of officials of various oil companies, water company officers and ranchers have visited the J. J. Carter ranch, on Richfield road, just south of Vorba Linda this week, to look at the oil well hole which is flowing water. Various tests are being made to determine where the water is coming from, and it has not been decided yet what to do with the flow. The well was drilled several years ago by the Petroleum Midway Company to a depth of 3600 feet, and after tools were lost in the hole it was abandoned. The rig was torn down and the casing covered over, orange trees being planted on the ground. Mr. Carter had much trouble with water and finally installed drain pipes, but the one place still proved too damp, and on investigation he found the oil well flowing water. There is some oil and gas in the water, but tests will be made to see if it is pure enough for irrigation, and plans have been discussed to put in a pump and test it for output. Schumacher Sued By Association Alleged failure of J. E. Schumacher, prominent Anaheim fruit grower, to market his Orange crops of the last two years through the Anaheim Co-operative Orange Association, in which he held membership, resulted today in the filing of a suit for $2730 damages against him. The association claims a forfeit of 25 cents per box for each one of the 10,920 boxes of fruit that Schumacher is thought to have marketed through other channels during the seasons of 1924 and 1925. Schumacher's ranch consists of 11% acres. The complaint on file in court alleges that Schumacher held a certificate of membership in the association, under which he had agreed to sell all of his fruit through the association. By-laws of the association, it is alleged, provide that members who violate their agreement must pay a penalty of 25 cents a box for all fruit marketed elsewhere. The Anaheim association has no stock, certificates of membership being issued instead. Attorney E. O. Mathis of Anaheim represents the association. ZETTE ANAHEIM—YOUR CITY Founded by German Colonists, 1857 Assessed Value, 1925, $10,500,000 School System Valued at $951,000 FUL STATEMENTS WELL-KNOWN EVANGELIST SUED BY CONGREGATION OF CHURCH Lady Preacher at Anaheim Tent Meeting Hailed Into Courtroom to Give Accounting of Church Property at Santa Ana EVERYBODY of ordinary intelligence will acknowledge that there are too many laws on the statute books, both of the state and nation—laws that restrict the personal privileges of people, and laws calculated to regulate every step in life taken by the citizen. But notwithstanding the multiplicity of laws, all no doubt adopted for the purpose of making men live upright lives and walk always in the straight and narrow path, there is SENATORS LEAD PENNANT RACE EVERYBODY of ordinary intelligence will acknowledge that there are too many laws on the statute books, both of the state and nation—laws that restrict the personal privileges of people, and laws calculated to regulate every step in life taken by the citizen. But notwithstanding the multiplicity of laws, all no doubt adopted for the purpose of making men live upright lives and walk always in the straight and narrow path, there is not one that will protect weak and credulous humanity against such frauds as the divine healer and the medical faker. The patient medicine vendors, who formerly gathered a crowd around them by giving a cheap vaudeville entertainment and then dispensed vast quantities of common drugs to their auditors at fictitious prices, are not making themselves conspicuous in this region of late years, but there are still persons who practice on the guillible by claiming to have influence with divine power, or who have knowledge of potent medicines unknown to the medical fraternity. Intelligent people know these persons are fakers defrauding the slick and the weak, and yet the solons at Sacramento make no effort to curb them. Almee Scruple McPherson, pastor of the Angeles Temple in Los Angeles, and also acknowledged head of the Four Square church in Santa Ana, has been conducting a series of meetings in a tent at the corner of Claudia and Wilhelmina streets, and many followers flocked to hear her. The writer has not been interested enough in Mrs. McPherson's work to be conversant with her doctrine or her practice, but he does know that a surely afflicted friend engaged the evangelist to pray at her bedside for an entire night, and that the regular physician who attended the slick lady was considerably peeved because his patient had been kept awake all night and was considerably worse the following day. The divine healer probably collected a substantial fee for her night's work. But Mrs. McPherson has gotten into court. Last Friday suit was filed against her and her mother Mrs. Minnie Kennedy, by the congregation of the Four Square church at Santa Ana to recover property belonging to the church alleged to be held unlawfully by the two ladies. The complaint asserts that the defendants have repeatedly refused to give an account of money sent to the temple by the Santa Ana church; that they have assumed full control of the church; that they discharged the members of the official board; that they refused to permit the 20 Sunday school teachers to teach their classes; that two alleged officers of the law were brought down from Los Angeles to back up the temple's authority; that 50 chairs and a communion set were removed and taken to a place unknown to the plaintiffs; that two members, said to be Mr. and Mrs. F. W. Garlock of Tustin, were excommunicated from the church, and that the local members have been refused any voice in the management of the church property. The basis of the suit is the asserted failure of Mrs. McPherson and Mrs. Old-Time Citizen Passes to Beyond Thomas S. Grimshaw Stricken By Death Saturday Thomas S. Grimshaw, who for 51 years has been a resident of Anaheim, died at his home on West Broadway at the age of 75. Mr. Grimshaw was born in England, in 1849, and came to Anaheim when only a youth. He engaged in the planing mill business, and devoted himself to this work during most of his life. Some years ago he disposed of his mill and retired from the business. Mr. Grimshaw leaves a widow, Mrs. Emma Grimshaw, and a daughter, Mary Alice Grimshaw, who for many years has been a teacher in the public schools. Mrs. Grimshaw is a sister of Benjamin and Samuel Kraemer. Funeral services were held Monday afternoon from the parlorors of Backs, Terry & Campbell, Rev.

DIAMOND JUBILEE CELEBRATION On account of the Diamond Jubilee celebration at San Francisco, September 5 to 12, the Union Pacific announces reduced round trip fares from all stations in California. Tickets will be on sale September 3 to 12, with return limit varying according to rate of fare. The complaint cites that upon the representations of Mrs. McPherson and Mrs. Kennedy the balance due on the $3100 if an accounting shows that there is still an amount payable, the complaint states. The church members themselves have not kept an account of money sent the temple, the complaint cites. Listed among the temple's asserted "high-handed" tactics is the removal of the pastor, Miss Bessie Mae Randell, known as the "flapper evangelist," to San Pedro to conduct a revival there for the temple. The plaintiffs claim that the local church members had paid the pastor's salary for many months prior to her removal and that they were not consulted when she was sent to the port city to preach. Since that time, the pastors at the tabernacle have all been associates of Mrs. McPherson.
