GROWTH OF ANAHEIM Total for 1910 was... 2,268 Total for 1920 was... 5,525 Today estimated at...12,000 VOLUME LV BANNER CROPS TO WALNUT PICKING IS BEGINNING THIS WEEK PACKING HOUSE EXPECTS TO RECEIVE DELIVERY WITHIN 10 DAYS Manager Ross Estimates Shipments by Anaheim Association at 750 Tons, an Increase of 67 Per Cent Over Last Year—State's Yield Will Be 27,050 Tons, Says Manager Already the dollars are beginning to drop from the heavy-laden branches of the walnut trees in this section, and the fortunate growers are picking them up by the bucketfills. Probably within Female of Specie Just as Deadly as Male Criminal WOMEN criminals have no more standing in Superior Judge R. Y. Williams' court than the male of the species, it was demonstrated today, when Mrs. Anna Paul of Brea received the maximum sentence for bootlegging—six months in the county jail. The jury that convicted the woman Tuesday recommended lenency, but the court dismissed that recommendation summarily in passing sentence. "The Jury's sympathy may have been won by the fact that she is a woman, but that cuts no figure with me," said Judge Williams, in giving Mrs. Paul the limit penalty. Herman ramsey, her masculine codefendant, escaped, in fact, more easily than Mrs. Paul. He was denied probation today by Judge Williams, who ordered him to pay a fine of $200 and spend six months in the county jail. The jail sentence, however, was suspended for two years. Ramsey had pleaded guilty to the charge and then gave Manager Ross Estimates Shipments by Anaheim Association at 750 Tons, an Increase of 67 Per Cent Over Last Year—State's Yield Will Be 27,050 Tons, Says Manager Already the dollars are beginning to drop from the heavy-laden branches of the walnut trees in this section, and the fortunate growers are picking them up by the bucketfills. Probably within a week the harvest will be on in full blast, an army of Mexicans—men, women and children, being engaged in the back-breaking task of gathering them from the ground. Walter Ross, manager of the Anaheim association's packing house, states that it will probably be 10 days before the growers begin delivering nuts to the house. Mr. Ross states that, according to the estimate of experts, the Anaheim association will this year ship 750 tons, an increase of 67 per cent over last year's crop. The quality of the nuts this year is excellent, according to a statement made by officials at headquarters of the California Growers' Association, and the crop will grade exceptionally high. Mr. Ross declines to make any guess as to the price which will be fixed by the association, but owing to the heavy crop, he does not anticipate an increase over last year's crop. This crop, however, should bring the growers of the Anaheim association half a million dollars. Improvement in general business conditions throughout Southern California is indicated in an announcement by the California Walnut Growers' Association to the effect that California this year will produce the second largest crop in the history of the state, with an estimated production of 27,050 tons. The announcement was made by Carlyle Thorpe, general manager of the growers' association. According to Thorpe, it is estimated that the 1925 walnut crop will come within approximately 1400 tons of the 1919 harvest, the largest crop which the state has produced. Last year the crop was 21,405 tons. Thorpe's prediction is based on reports from 800 members of the association, and takes into account the normal average loss to nuts from heat and blight. Trees are said to be more healthy and vigorous than in previous years. The size of the nuts is normal, and harvest is expected to begin at least a week earlier than last year. Thorpe points out that the association steadily is increasing its scope through acreage and sales. Of the entire 1924 California crop, the association marketed 81.7 per cent, amounting to $9,625,530, or an average of 25-2.5 cents per pound for all except shelled walnuts, according to Thorpe. Under the new membership policy no new members are to be admitted to the association until the summer of 1927, the books having been closed August Livestock Display at Orange County Fair Some Splendid Animals Will Be On Exhibition The pride of Orange county will be gathered at the livestock show at the Orange County Fair, in September, according to H. L. Wakeham of Tustin, superintendent of the livestock division of the fair. "Not only will it be the best livestock show we have ever had, but I believe we will have the biggest attendance in the history of such an event in the county. Livestock in Orange county is looking up. Dairymen especially have been improving conditions, weeding out the 'boarders,' or unprofitable cows, from their herds. The progress of the cow testing association has been largely responsible for this improvement in dairying. Better breeds of stock are now met in most sections." One of the interesting sight at the fair will be the Segerstrom triplets. These three famous purebred Holstein calves on the Segerstrom ranch, near Greenville, are now about four months old, and each is a splendid animal. Most equally remarkable in the history of the Segerstrom herd is the record of the cow which produced triplets. She had previously produced two pairs of twins in succession. "It is perhaps known to few that Orange county, meaning you and I and all of us—owns about the finest herd of Berkshire hogs to be found anywhere in the world. On the assumption that quality pays, Orange county recently bought the registered Berkshires for the county farm. They are thriving wonderfully and will be in tip-top condition for the show pens." Last year's unfortunate epidemic ing sentence. "The jury's sympathy may have been won by the fact that she is a woman, but that cuts no figure with me," said Judge Williams, in giving Mrs., Paul the limit penalty. Herman ramsey, her masculine codeendant, escaped, in fact, more easily than Mrs. Paul. He was denied probation today by Judge Williams, who ordered him to pay a fine of $200 and spend six months in the county jail. The jail sentence, however, was suspended for two years. Ramsey had pleaded guilty to the charge and then gave testimony that aided in convicting Mrs. Paul. Judge Williams indicated that he felt that the officers in Brea were doing good work in stamping out the liquor traffic there, and that the courts should uphold them. He believed that Mr. Paul was connected with an extensive ring of prohibition law violators, he said.

Two cars, one driven by Tony Feraud and the other by R. J. Hadsell, came together on West street last Thursday morning. Both cars were considerably damaged, but nobody was hurt.

ANAHEIM'S NEW ORE REFINERY HAS BRIGHT FUTURE BEFORE IT The ore refinery of the California Zinc Products Company, a recent addition to the industrial development of Anaheim, gives promise of growing into one of the most significant of Orange county industries, according to A. E. Place, well-known Los Angeles mining engineer and active head of the company, who reported the progress made by his firm. The plant was built to treat complex refractory silver-lead-zinc ores which have not been amenable to smelter methods, owing to their composition. Western plants have not been equipped to handle them heretofore. John Allingham, metallurgical expert and a member of the company, has evolved a process bearing his name, which has solved these difficulties. By his method, 90 per cent of the gold, silver and lead can be recovered from the local ores. The zinc content can be immediately converted into a high-grade lead free zinc-oxide of 99.5 per cent purity, Mr. Place says. The refinery is designed for a capacity production of six tons of zinc oxide per day and six tons rich silver-lead-gold concentrate averaging in gross value $1400 per day, it is said. It is not yet running at full capacity, but is already on a self-sustaining basis. Arrangements have been made by the company for the output of the Blue Light mine in Silverado canyon, to be used in the refinery, with which direct rail communications with the source of these raw materials is afforded. The company is financed by a group of local men, among which are J. J. Dwyer, Charles Eygabroad and C. M. Hollingshead, John Allingham, whose patents the company is licensed to operate; Ernest Harms, formerly manager of the Torreon (Mex.) smelter; Norman H. Beadon of Magill University, Toronto, and A. E. Price, prominent mining engineer, are among the technical experts associated with the organization. The plant will employ 20 men when in full operation. At present 12 are on the payroll.

NAHEIM GAZETTE Anaheim, California, Thursday, September 10, 1925 HPS TO BRING PROSPERITY WHY LIPPINCOTT FAVORS PRADO DAMSITE ENGINEER SUBMITS HIS REPORT TO BOARD OF SUPERVISORS Project Would Cost the County $5,000,000, According to His Estimate—70-Foot Reservoir Would Conserve 99 Per Cent Waste Water, Cover Shortage on 120,000 Acres of Land Engineer J. B. Lippincott's report on the Santa Ana river survey, in which he recommends construction of a dam at Prado, has been given to the public by the supervisors. Mr. Lippincott is Teachers Are Hit By Recent Ruling Of School Head OF PARTICULAR interest to members of the teaching profession is a ruling by Will C. Wood, state superintendent of public instruction, prohibiting holders of junior high school credentials from teaching in high schools, as has been the custom in some school districts. The decision states that the junior high school credential authorizes the holder to teach in a junior high school. It does not authorize the holder to teach in the first and second year of a high school, as some principals have assumed. Any district employing a teacher with a junior high school certificate and assigning him or her to work in the first or second year of the high school is endangering both state and county apportionments of school funds. Woods pointed out. Superintendents are requested to check up on certification of teachers so that funds will not be endangered through violation of the law. SUPERVISORS FIX TAX RATE FOR THIS YEAR FIGURES SAME AS LAST YEAR, BUT ASSESSMENT IS LESS Anaheim School District's Rate Dropped 20c on the Hundred Dollars, and Fullerton Gets a Reduction of 45c—Santa Ana and Orange Both Increased—Many Districts Are Lowered The board of supervisors Tuesday officially fixed the county tax rate for the coming year, the levy being the same as last year, viz., $1.35 inside incorporated cities, and $1.75 on property SUPERVISORS Project Would Cost the County $5,000,000, According to His Estimate—70-Foot Reservoir Would Conserve 99 Per Cent Waste Water, Cover Shortage on 120,000 Acres of Land Engineer J. B. Lippincott's report on the Santa Ana river survey, in which he recommends construction of a dam at Prado, has been given to the public by the supervisors. Mr. Lippincott is enthusiastic for a dam at that point. Such a project would permanently provide water for the 120,000 acres of irrigated land at present developed in the county, but the 100,000 acres more that are now starting development must look to some source outside the county, probably the Colorado river, for a water supply. Lippincott said. His report delves exhaustively into water supply statistics and details of consumption, to show the bearing of the project he recommends upon the situation in this county. Appointment of a committee of three local engineers to review his report was urged by Lippincott. A 70-foot reservoir and the acquisition of 1000 acres for a spreading ground below the dam would conserve 99 per cent of the water supply, overcome the present irrigation shortage on the 120,000 acres, and provide regulation of flood waters as great as in 1916, the report said in effect. In addition, Lippincott pointed out the dam at Prado, having command by gravity of all towns and agricultural lands in the county, would serve as a valuable distributing point for waters derived from Colorado river development. It would have a tributary watershed of 1485 square miles. Its construction is urged as an alternative to waiting for the "remote" Boulder canyon dam, with its more expensive water. Lippincott declaring that the only other available water supply of magnitude would be sewage from the city of Los Angeles, which might be spread out upon Orange county farm lands for irrigation, and to recharge the underground reservoirs. Rapid depletion of these underground reservoirs are noted by the engineer, who says that the artesian area of the coastal plain has shrunk from 315 square miles, in 1885, to 55 square miles this year. The water levels have been dropping at an average of 2½ feet each year, he states. From the $5,000,000 investment, the county would realize $35,000 in net annual benefits, after deducting $300 as the yearly cost of maintenance and interest, the report estimates, discussing the financial aspect of the plan. A hydraulic fill dam, to be situated above the Santa Fe railroad crossing at Prado, is the Lippincott plan. It would store 174,000 acre feet of water, he estimates. The lower 81,500 acre feet would be for conservation, the upper 92,500 acre feet for flood regulation. Such a reservoir would allow a holder to teach in the first and second year of a high school, as some principals have assumed. Any district employing a teacher with a junior high school certificate and assigning him or her to work in the first or second year of the high school is endangering both state and county appropriations of school funds. Woods pointed out. Superintendents are requested to check up on certification of teachers so that funds will not be endangered through violation of the law. Inquiries at the office of County Superintendent R. P. Mitchell disclosed the fact that high school teachers must not only have their bachelor's degree from a recognized university, but 14 credits beyond graduation, while the requirements for junior high school teachers are less exacting. Death Terminates Honeymoon Trip Joe Burrows of High School Dies At San Luis Obispo Stricken while on his honeymoon with his bride of but two months, was the tragic fate of Joe F. Burrows, 30 years of age, for two years head of the botany and biology departments of the Anaheim Union high school, who was returning to Anaheim, at the time of his death, to again take up his work here. A pail of sorrow hangs over the school campus and students and faculty mourn the untimely loss of the popular instructor, news of whose death was received here some days ago. A cold contracted while camping out developed rapidly, settling in his lungs. Becoming alarmed at last, he was rushed to a hospital in San Luis Obispo, but pneumonia had already reached advanced stages and frantic efforts to save his life were of no avail. Mr. Burrows and his bride touring the northern part of the state and had visited Yellowstone National Park and were on their way home when he was stricken. Mr. Burrows had slipped away the latter part of June and surprised his friends by marrying Miss Eunice Miller, a teacher in the Whittier high school. He was a graduate of the University of Arizona. His parents live in Detroit, Mich., and he had no other relatives in this section; it is said. Mrs. Burrows is now with her parents in San Diego, but plans to return to her position with the Whittier high school on the opening of the school term. Principal J. A. Clayes announced the appointment of Paul Demoree of Pasadena to fill the vacancy left by Mr. Burrow's death. Mr. Demoree was taking special work at the University of Southern California when called to Anaheim proworship. MENT IS LESS Anaheim School District's Rate Dropped 20c on the Hundred Dollars, and Fullerton Gets a Reduction of 45c—Santa Ana and Orange Both Increased—Many Districts Are Lowered The board of supervisors Tuesday officially fixed the county tax rate for the coming year, the levy being the same as last year, viz., $1.35 inside incorporated cities, and $1.75 on property outside of cities. Owing to the decrease in Sleeper's assessment figures, the amount of money collected under this levy will be considerably less than last year, but the county's expenses are not so heavy as formerly. There are many reductions in the rate in some school districts, and in others the rate has been raised. Fullerton school district rate dropped from $1.90 to $1.45. Anaheim's rate dropped from $1.85 to $1.65. The Orange rate raised from $1.65 to $1.75, and Santa Ana increased from $1.55 to $1.70. Following are the various rates: County general fund, $2.05; bridge fund, .04; salary fund, .08; hospital fund, .11; interest and sinking fund, .08 advertising fund, .015; county school fund, .37; county high school fund, .24; county park fund, .01; county good roads fund, .40.

The lower 81,500 acre feet would be for conservation, the upper 92,500 acre feet for flood regulation. Such a reservoir would allow a regulated supply of 120,000 acre feet of gravity flow on ordinary wet years. Anticipating a gradual filling of the reservoir with silt, Lippincott estimates that at the end of 78 years it would be necessary to raise the dam 10 feet to maintain the same storage capacity. That would suffice for another 78 years, he says. Orange county has 220,000 acres of agricultural area, of which 165,000 acres are being farmed and 120,000 acres irrigated, the report summarizes. The farm land values total $200,000,000 and the annual crop values amount to $30,000,983. The present annual consumption of water is 252,000 acre feet, of which 81 per cent is pumped. Pumping has increased 300 per cent in the last 10 years, according to the report. The average annual flow of the Santa Ana river at Prado is given as 153,102 acre feet, of which 40,000 acre feet are diverted by the two large irrigation companies, most of the remainder sinks into the soil, but about 20,000 acre feet wastes into the sea. The report estimates that 1.75 acre feet is required for each acre of land. The 120,000 irrigated areas need a supply of 168,000 acre feet.

"An agreement was reached between the various cities affected when permission was asked to lay the outfall sewer to the ocean, to the effect that all sewer lines emptying into the bay or ocean would be septicized before the sewage would be allowed to empty into the water." J. A. Armitage, secretary of the Chamber of Commerce and president of the South Coast Improvement Association, said. The cities of Seal Beach, Huntington Beach and Newport Beach have conformed to their part of the agreement, according to Armitage. He declared that the extension of the outfall sewer into the ocean will not bring about the desired result, and maintains that each city should establish a septic tank before allowing their sewage to enter the main lines to the ocean. "What the Chambers of Commerce of the coast towns want is immediate action from the inland cities in installing septic tanks," Armitage declared.

Some have the opinion that the famous musician is living incognito in Anaheim and that he will turn up one of these days at the post-office for his mail. "At any rate," said Postmaster Whitaker, "it shows that Anaheim is on the map, even in Poland." Beach Cities Again Rap Outfall Sewer Huntington Beach Adopts Condemnatory Resolution Announcement made by County Horticultural Commissioner A. A. Brock, that California's 1925 citrus crop, despite the damage by frost, will bring returns perhaps double the sum netted to the growers last season, was accompanied by the explanation that safeguards against shipment of frosted fruit are responsible for this encouraging situation. Careful inspection of all packing and shipping, with punishment for those who violate the laws prohibiting sale or shipment of frosted fruit, has cleansed the market of damaged product and established confidence in the California fruit, with the result that the market has soared amazingly. Brock stated. The 1925 navel crop, although nearly a million boxes less than last year's crop, brought more than double the returns of last year, comparative figures being $21,794,646 for this year and $10,458,177 for last year. The Valencia season is now about half over, but the returns it is estimated, have already nearly approximated the full yield of last season. The crop shortage this year is admitted to provide a stimulant for the market, but Brock contends that elimination of damaged fruit is the real force behind this year's showing. Brock has conducted a rigid inspection of the citrus industry this season, noting the bad effects of shipping frosted fruit last season. The result has been that this season not a single car of Orange county fruit has been condemned and dumped by the state of federal inspectors. No other county can show such a record. Dozens of cars shipped from other counties have been dumped. At least a dozen arrests have been made by Brock and his alces at various independent. Fines ranging as high as packing houses, both exchange and independent. Fines ranging as high as $50 and jail sentences of as much as 60 days have been applied to offenders. So far all of the jail sentences have been suspended by the courts with a warning not to repeat the offense. The warning has been observed every time. That is why, Brock declares, the California fruit is bringing twice as much money this year as last, even though it is far less in volume. Had more care been taken by packing houses last season, to see that damaged fruit was eliminated, the growers would have received probably 50c a box more for their fruit. He thinks. Instead of amounting to approximately $17,000,000 for the season, the citrus crop of Orange county would have amounted to well over $20,000,000. Brock estimates. FULLERTON CITIZEN IS ELECTED PRESIDENT OF COUNTY REALTORS At a meeting of the Orange County Real Estate Association, held at the county park, last Saturday, Mayor Harry Crooke of Fullerton was elected president for the coming year and Hugh Nixon of the same town secretary. Others who were elected to official positions included Carl Mock, Santa Ana, first vice-president; S. B. Edwards, Orange, second vice-president; C. O. Sidnam, Anaheim, third vice-president; Roy Peacock, Laguna Beach, fourth vice-president; C. P. Patton, Huntington Beach, fifth vice-president; C. N. Reafsnyder, Garden Grove, sixth vice-president. A baseball game between teams composed of northern and southern Orange county realtors was the principal sport event of the afternoon, the former winning by a score of 8 to 3. Glenn William, popular secretary of the California Real Estate Association, and Mrs. Hazel Grant of Pasadena, president of the state women's association were present and made formal talks. J. B. Clegg of Pasadena, who has been appointed grand marshal for the automobile caravan which is to go to the convention of the state association at Fresno, October 6, presented briefly an outline of plans for the trip. A recapitulation of the association activities of the past year disclosed that four of the principal events sponsored by the association were the caravan and demonstration at the Pasadena convention last year; the industrial conference held in Anaheim, the first of its kind held in the United States; institution of formal ceremonies in inauguration of a president of the state association, the formal ceremony being used for the first time with induction of Everett A. White of Santa Ana as president for the short term last year, and the organization of a harbor meeting at Balboa, when 125 men and women were present and inspected the harbor and discussed details of improvements.
