FROM time to time during the past score of years or more there have come recrudescences of the report that changes were impending in county lines hereabout. These things have all vanished into nothingness but nothing that we have seen in all this time has been quite so absurd as an item recently appearing to the effect that northern portions of Orange county were to join with Whitier in the creation of a new city and county government. The man responsible for this canard was certainly not familiar with the laws governing county division, or he would never have written the article. In the first place there exists no desire in the northern districts of Orange county for division. We love this magnificent little county too dearly to think of such a thing for a moment. On the contrary, our people will fight to preserve and protect the county against all hazards, big, little and middle-sized. We are for Orange county first, last and all the time. Our people were for separation from Los Angeles county as early as 1872, when they showed that that county had collected more than $2,000,000 in taxes, very, very little of which had ever been expended in this section. It was not until seventeen years thereafter that Orange county was formed, and it is now the richest county, mile for mile, in the United States. It is the grandest, the most glorious, county on earth, and to think for a moment of mutilating our own work is quite beyond us. We repudiate the proposition. The laws of the state of California provide that no county shall be divided and left with less than 1200 square miles of territorial area. As Orange county contains 795 square miles only, being in fact, one of the smallest counties in California, the suggestion that it may be divided, is quite out of the question. Moreover the law provides that sections desiring to secede from a county must have 65 per cent of the qualified voters residing therein appended to petitions praying therefor and that the remainder of the county must have 50 per cent of its qualified voters agreeing to division. More than that, there is no law providing for the consolidation of two or more cities into a city and county government. Before that can be done the state constitution must be amended. If Whittier desires to secede from Los Angeles county, 50 per cent of the qualified voters of the county remaining must agree thereto, and if Whittier can do this she'll have to be going some. To the statement that the northern districts of the county are not represented among county officials at the court house, we point out that we now have Superior Judge Marks, County Clerk J. M. Backs, Assemblyman S. C. Hartrantt, Supervisor William Schumacher and Deputy County Clerk Abbey, five good men and true, who are giving the people efficient and honorable service in their various offices. There are none better anywhere, and we could not get along without them. If these men desiring a city and county government, as herein set forth, can overcome these constitutional barriers they will have to get up early in the morning. We remain for Orange county now and forever. With no multilations, with not a district erased and the Stars and Stripes flying triumphantly over time... Hartranft, Supervisor William Schumacher and Deputy County Clerk Abbey, five good men and true, who are giving the people efficient and honorable service in their various offices. There are none better anywhere, and we could not get along without them. If these men desiring a city and county government, as herein set forth, can overcome these constitutional barriers they will have to get up early in the morning. We remain for Orange county now and forever. With no mutilations, with not a district erased and the Stars and Stripes flying triumphantly over us all. The article launching this move did not mention the name of a single citizen who attended the meeting and advocated the proposition. People generally favor open dealings and are opposed to anything that is hatched in the dark. It is evident that these men, whoever they may be, are ignorant of the laws of California and are not conversant with the sentiment of the people in this, the third supervisorial district. Every person living in Orange county is proud of the fact that he lives in a county, famed in all the land as the spot that yields more wealth per acre than any other agricultural section in the world. He is proud of the fact that it is known throughout the length and breadth of America as "Nature's Prolific Wonderland." The fruits of Orange county's soil have a reputation in all sections of the nation, and the people who grow these fruits will never agree to surrender their Orange county label. It is claimed by proponents of county division that the northern section of the county has never had a just representation at the court house. If this is true it is our own fault, because we have not asked for the jobs. Men filling county offices are capable of commanding more money than the small salaries paid the county officials, consequently few Anaheim men have ever sought an office in the court house. Few people here have cared to uproot themselves from their native soil and move to an alien town for the purpose of saddling upon themselves arduous and responsible jobs and receiving in salaries barely enough to support their families. The chief reason advanced for this county division is that we have been "It is my purpose to strive for the removal of the causes of war, economic and racial, as well as political, and to work for methods based upon international justice and good will in place of the method of war. Frankness, sincerity, trust, respect for personal will be the basis of my relationship with all men. Working with other youth throughout the world, I am determined to devote every effort toward the abolition of war in my generation. In so doing, I seek the fellowship of the youth of the world." Registration totals of the county have Hillary in the foreclosure proceedings. reached 16,490; it was announced by County Clerk J. M. Backs. Republicans comprise nearly three-fourths of the entire registration. The list of party affiliations follow: Republican 11,600; Democrat 3635; decline to state 762; Prohibition 319; Socialist 65; Non-partisan 49; Independent 49; Progressive 16; scattering 51. discriminated against in the distribution of ple, and that Santa Ana has hogged most of the offices. Does any sane man believe that the taxpayers would vote upon themselves the expense of a new county government in order to give a score of men offices whose salaries they, the taxpayers, would be compelled to pay? In addition to this they would be compelled to build a court house, jail, hospital, highways, bridges, besides assuming a long list of expenses that fall upon a county government. Furthermore we would still be under bond to pay our share of the indebtedness of Orange county. The proposition is ridiculous.

Morrison today ordered Mr. and Mrs. A. N. Zachary, 2034 Kilson drive, to the Orange county hospital, when they were brought into his court on the charge of violation of the quarantine regulations. The couple will have to remain in the county institution for the duration of the quarantine, placed against their house for 30 days, on January 25. According to the story told by Zachary to Justice Morrison, two physicians, called to attend his sick daughter, made two different diag-noses of the case, one claiming the child had measles and the other claiming scarlet fever. There is a quarantine for scarlet fever, but none for measles. Dr. V. G. Presson, county health officer, testified that after he had learned of the difference of opinions of the physicians, he took the case in hand, sent for another physician, who diagnosed the case as scarlet fever. He placed a sign on the house and notified the family that it was quar- AIRPLANE FALLS BUT DAMAGE IS SLIGHT ONLY CASUALTY A BROKEN NOSE SUSTAINED BY OTTO SCHAFFER Joy Ride of Schaffer and Ellery Tremaine Brought to Sudden End — Driver Lost in the Heavy Fog and Collided With a Hill—Thrilling Experience of Daring Aviators Wednesday Morning. Treacherous fog rising suddenly over the hills north of Brea shortly after daylight Wednesday morning brought $100,000,000 In Booze Brought Into Country BOOTLEGGERS smuggled more than $100,000,000 worth of liquors across the Mexican and Canadian borders last year, treasury officials estimated. Thirsty Americans obtained and drank more than 300,000 gallons of real Canadian beer, several hundred thousand bottles of Canadian ale and about 400,000 quarts of genuine whiskey, investigations made by prohibition sleuths showed. Across the Mexican border there trickled more than 100,000 quarts of tequila and thousands of gallons of other intoxicants. Liquor smugglers in 1925 had little difficulty in running the prohibition gauntlet and transporting the contra-band supplies of distributing centers, officials admitted. Since the establishment of border patrols, however, the flow of rum has diminished slightly. The big flow of Canadian rum came south through North Dakota, it was said. That boundary line was practically unguarded the first nine months of the year and smugglers used that omnipresent wet goods that Zachary to Justice Morrison, two physicians, called to attend his sick daughter, made two different diagnoses of the case, one claiming the child had measles and the other claiming scarlet fever. There is a quarantine for scarlet fever, but none for measles. Dr. V. G. Presson, county health officer, testified that after he had learned of the difference of opinions of the physicians, he took the case in hand, sent for another physician, who diagnosed the case as scarlet fever. He placed a sign on the house and notified the family that it was quarantined for 30 days, he said. Mrs. Zachary admitted that she did leave the house to go to a grocery store, but said that she did not take the children with her. It was brought out that Zachary was told that he could leave the house to go to work, provided he did not come into contact with the children in any way. Zachary also testified that his physician did not lay a great amount of stress on the quarantion, which caused Justice Morrison to request, of Dr. Presson, that a warrant for the physician be ordered and that he be brought into court. Marcus Andrade Captain of Police Deserved Promotion Comes to an Efficient Member of Force Friends of Marcus Andrade are congratulating him over his elevation from the ranks to the position of captain of police. Chief J. S. Martin announced his appointment the first of the week. Marcus has earned this promotion by efficient work and faithful service. He has been on the force for eight years and became an invaluable man because of his ability to handle the Mexican population. He can talk to them in their own language, and they all respect and obey him. When the flu was raging some years ago Marcus was relieved of regular duty as a patrolman and spent his time ministering to the suffering in the Mexican colony. Nearly two years ago Mr. Andrade turned in his resignation as a police officer and it was accepted. A short time later the city government persuaded him to return to the force, as there was nobody who could successfully fill his shoes. He has served four administrations, and has made an enviable record as a police officer. We salute Captain Andrade. Says Constable Defrauded Him Santa Ana Dairyman Asks the Aid of Court Joy Ride of Schaffer and Ellery Tremaine Brought to Sudden End — Driver Lost in the Heavy Fog and Collided With a Hill—Thrilling Experience of Daring Aviators Wednesday Morning. Treacherous fog rising suddenly over the hills north of Brea shortly after daylight Wednesday morning brought to a near fatal ending an air joyride which Ellery Tremaine and Otto Schaffer, two amateur aviators of this city, were enjoying in Tremaine's ninety-horsepower airplane. Losing their bearings in the fog the early morning aviators "pancaked" into the side of a hill in the vicinity of Brea, narrowly missing the tops of a row of trees and crashing through an electric power line in their mad flight. The crashing machine narrowly missed a steel oil derrick as it fell. Schaffer suffered a broken nose when he was thrown against the cowling of the plane as it came suddenly to a stop, but Tremaine escaped without injury, it is reported. The landing gear and lower wing were torn from the plane. Power line down, electric-power systems were demoralized in the oil camp when the plane tore through the high tension power lines. The ship was enveloped in electric sparks as it torched through the wires, witnesses declared. Schaffer was in the pilot's seat. "The first warning I had of the impending danger," he said, "was when two tall trees suddenly loomed up ahead. I managed to swoop the plane over these, but cannot avoid the electric-power line just beyond. After we had torn our way through the wires, I saw the green side of the hill just beyond coming nearer every second. It was impossible to turn. I did the only possible thing to do under the circumstances. I nosed her up and casped her down upon the hill. The impact knocked me forward and I struck my nose on the cowling of the plane. Tremaine received only a slight shaking up." Placentia Knocks County Division Chamber of Commerce Considers Proposition a Joke Directors of the Chamber of Commerce at Placentia Tuesday demonstrated their loyalty to Orange county by adopting strong resolutions opposing any movement having for its purpose a division of Orange county by creating a new county out of a portion of this county. According to Thomas Pickerell, secretary of the Placentia Chamber, directors did not take seriously the movement for county division, said to have been started recently by a group trickled more than 100,000 quarts of tequila and thousands of gallons of other intoxicants. Liquor smugglers in 1925 had little difficulty in running the prohibition gauntlet and transporting the contra-band supplies of distributing centers, officials admitted. Since the establishment of border patrols, however, the flow of rum has diminished slightly. The big flow of Canadian rum came south through North Dakota, it was said. That boundary line was practically unguarded the first nine months of the year and smugglers used that entrance for wet goods that were shipped by trucks to mid-western points. Intoxicants from Mexico supply Texas, Southern California, Arizona, New Mexico, Oklahoma and Louisiana. The other southern states had to depend on bootleggers' supplies from Cuba and the Bahamas, if genuine liquor were used. The Pacific coast obtained its real intoxicants from Canada. Some of the rum was brought in across the border but the greater quantity was smuggled into the country by boats engaged in rum running. Shipped Less Fruit But Got More Money Northern Orange Co. Exchange $900,000 Ahead of Last Year In spite of the fact that the Northern Orange County Citrus Exchange shipped less fruit last year, its returns were $900,000 greater than during 1924, according to the report of Dale R. King, secretary-manager, presented at the annual meeting Monday afternoon. The detailed report submitted by Mr. King showed that although only two-thirds as many boxes of fruit were shipped, the higher degree of efficiency and wisdom in handling resulted in a larger return. Carload shipments during the year amounted to 3624 cars. In addition to these, shipments of 7276 boxes, or 21 cars of loose lemons were sold by the associations through the exchange to cull peddlers on which payment was made direct to the associations. The 35 per cent reduction in shipments was due partly to wind and partly to frost, the report states. It was estimated that the winds of October, November and December of 1924 reduced the crop about 15 per cent, partially by actual loss of fruit and the rest by retarding the growth of the fruit that remained on the trees. County's Share of Motor Licenses Nearly $68,000 Turned Into Treasury in 1925 Says Constable Defrauded Him Santa Ana Dairyman Asks the Aid of Court Samuel McCalla, Santa Ana dairyman, unversed in legal forms and documents, thought he was signing an agreement to purchase hay from George W. Short, former El Modena constable and later a real estate agent in Orange. But, according to McCalla's complaint in Superior Court; Short in reality secured his signature to a note and mortgage for $6000 on McCalla's twenty-acre dairy property, near West Fifth street and Buaro Road. McCalla's court complaint, which includes the sensational charge of fraud against Short, asks that the mortgage be reduced by the court to $1600, which is the value of the hay he received, he says. The dairyman says he made a verbal agreement with Short in 1923, by which Short was to deliver him $2000 worth of hay each year for three years, 1923, 1924 and 1925. A short time after the oral arraked him to put the agreement in rangement was made, Short, he said, writing and then submitted two papers for McCalla to sign. These papers were the hay agreement, McCalla says Short told him. Without examining the papers, McCalla signed them. One was a $6000 note. The other a mortgage securing the note. The instruments were negotiable and Short sold them to the First Commercial Bank of Orange, which later resold them to Mrs. Grace Pitcher of Orange, for $3500. The bank, Mrs. Pitcher, and her husband, Henry Pitcher, are made defendant with Short in McCalla's suit. Short delivered only $1600 worth of hay, in all, McCalla declares. When McCalla found he had been duped, it is said, he waited until the three-year Chamber of Commerce Considers Proposition a Joke Directors of the Chamber of Commerce at Placentia Tuesday demonstrated their loyalty to Orange county by adopting strong resolutions opposing any movement having for its purpose a division of Orange county by creating a new county out of a portion of this county. According to Thomas Pickerell, secretary of the Placentia Chamber, the directors did not take seriously the movement for county division, said to have been started recently by a group of unidentified northern Orange county men, meeting secretly in Anaheim. Reported action by the group was called to the attention of the directors of the Placentia organization by Ralph McFadden, native son of Orange county and a member of the Orange County Harbor Commission. "The directors of our organization are for anything for the betterment of Orange county, but they will not support any movement looking to interruption of the present county unit, so far as division is concerned," Pickerill said. "The county is small enough now and, to create another division that would make the area still smaller, would be the height of folly, in the opinion of members of the board." "Orange county is one of the richest and most productive small areas. It should be enlarged and not smaller, if any change is to be made in its limits." WHAT? What would we do in a new county without Bill Jerome telling us where to head in at? Most of the old world is worried over this nation's crushing burden of gold, and is showing a noble willingness to share the load. agreement period had expired, then started his fight in court to cancel the $6000 note and mortgage. His suit was filed through Attorneys Clyde Q. Downing and L. A. West. Short is said to be out of the state, his whereabouts unknown to McCalla. County’s Share of Motor Licenses Nearly $68,000 Turned Into Treasury in 1925 Orange county received from motor vehicle license fees, in 1925, the sum of $67,815.10, according to a report issued by Will H. Marsh, chief of the motor vehicle division. Out of the grand total, salaries paid motorcycle officers aggregated $15,679.96, the report shows. W. C. Jerome, county auditor, received a check, Saturday, from the department, for $13,391.05, being the net apportionment for the second-half of the year. The report discloses that 36,705 vehicles were registered from this county; the number being divided as follows: Automobiles: 30,976; solid tire trucks: 615; pneumatic tire trucks: 3586; motorcycles: 281; trailers: 1247. Accounting for its stewardship of funds collected for motor vehicles license fees during the year, the division announced the apportionment of $6,506-2118.30 to the state highway commission and the various counties of the state, to be used for road repair purposes during the coming year on California highways. The division's report shows that $3,-432,610.98 of this huge sum will go to the highway commission, while $3,.073-607.32 will go to the counties. The difference between these two amounts of $359,003.66 is represented in the sum paid for salaries of traffic officers employed in the counties during 1925. Fees collected during the first six months of the year already have been appropriated. The net amount for the last six months, which will be immediately apportioned to the counties is $721,785.35. The amount paid each county is based on the number of motor vehicles registered by each during the year. The division's report gives 1,561,933 as programs or activities offered by Charles E.

H. Schureman, presented to the stockholders of the Anaheim Citrus Fruit Association at their annual meeting last Thursday, must have been interesting reading to the members as it shows that the past year was the most prosperous one since 1918. In that year the United States was involved in the World War and all horticultural and agricultural products were selling at fictitious prices. County Auto Show Opens at Santa Ana The meeting was held in the dining hall at the Elks club house, and 280 persons—members of the association and their wives, were present to partake of the banquet prepared by the caterer of the club, and to attend the business meeting. While detailed reports of Mr. Schure- County Auto Show Opens at Santa Ana Doors Thrown Open at 7 O'clock Tomorrow Night Under the largest tent ever pitched in Southern California, the Orange County Show Beautiful will open, at Fourth and Garfield streets. Friday night at 7 o'clock. The show will be staged under the auspices of the Orange County Auto Trades association, members of which predict it will be one of the greatest showings of automobiles ever made in this section of the state. The huge white top has been pitched and Bob Cavenaugh, director general, is busy purchasing 100,000 square feet of lumber for the floor. There will be more than 44,000 square feet of exhibit space under one tent. Under the enormous top will be displayed 50 models of 36 different makes of cars and trucks. According to Cavenaugh, everything will be in readiness for the moving of the spotless and shiny new cars into the great tent Thursday afternoon, when the displays will be arranged in an attractive manner. Arrangements have been completed with the club orchestra to furnish a two-hour musical program every night, beginning at 8 o'clock. On the opening night, an especially attractive program has been arranged, in which Earl's Midgets, the smallest in the world, will be featured in a singing and dancing act. Other attractions will include the Six Dancing Madcaps, premier exponents of the latest Charleston steps. Ham Bone Trent, famous throughout the Southland as a radio entertainer over KNX has been engaged for an unusual stunt on the opening night. Although the show will open at 7 o'clock p.m., Friday, the program will not commence until 8 o'clock. Ten cents admission will be charged. There will be something new each night until the closing day, February 20. The show will be closed Sunday. The exhibit will be open every afternoon, but there will be programs only in the evenings. The meeting was held in the dining hall at the Elks club house, and 280 persons—members of the association and their wives, were present to partake of the banquet prepared by the caterer of the club, and to attend the business meeting. While detailed reports of Mr. Schureman, and of the auditing committee reflected the satisfactory outcome of a season fraught with difficulties, a glance into the future projected by Earl C. Dezzell, general manager of the California Fruit Growers' Exchange, who discussed citrus conditions in general throughout the state, and by Dale R. King, secretary-manager of the Northern Orange County Citrus Exchange, and Norman Lombard, growers' service representative, who discussed local citrus prospects, brought assurance to the members of an equally satisfactory season in prospect for the coming year. The manager had much to contend with during the past year, according to Mr. Schureman's report, the crop being cut short by frost and wind, but despite the fact that shipments were 38 per cent less than the previous year, 16.74 per cent more money was received for the crop. Fancy prices, almost equal to wartime figures, were paid for the later shipments. Applications for membership in the association were received from nine prospective new members during the year, bringing the total membership up to 268, the report revealed. The membership owns 2,729 acres of orange producing land. During the season just closed a total of 525 carloads of 400 boxes each were shipped by the association, 493 carloads of which were valencias and for this fruit a total of $1,155,436.37 was received, the report stated. The entire personnel of the board of directors that has directed the association during the past year was re-elected and this board was to hold a re-organization meeting for the purpose of electing new officers. Those re-elected to the Steward, J. J. Dwyer, Chas. Eygabroad, directorate are: S. C. Hartranft, O. E. C. E. Jones, Ben Baxter, B. L. Chandler, Fred H. Zaiser and Dr. J. W. Harpster. CENTRAL P.-T. A.

JUDGMENT AFFIRMED In the civil case of Fred Pelitzke Vs. Charles E. Hammerson, taken on appeal to Superior Court from Judge Kuchel's township court, the decision of the lower court was affirmed, wherein judgment was given in favor of defendant. Allen & Lyons of Fullerton represented plaintiffs and Ames & McFadden of this city appeared for defendant. FROM SWADDLING CLOTHES TO TROUSERS Outside the realm of fancy there is nothing in modern science so amazing as the rapid development of radio. It has jumped overnight from swaddling clothes into trousers and in four years has passed through the field of adventure to a public utility of importance, and a social force that permeates every part of our daily life. Largely employed as a medium of entertainment in the beginning, it is now being used by the schools to educate, by the police in apprehension of criminals, for speedy location of missing people, weather reports, guidance of ships, etc. It has enabled the president of the United States to address approximately all the people at one time.

Los Angeles county, with a total fee paid registrations of 588,346, will receive the largest share of the money, its apportionment being $1,375,395.17. San Francisco will receive $267,846.93, the second largest amount on the total registrations of 115,179. Alameda is third with 95,499 vehicles and an apportionment of $235,022.25. Alpine is lowest.
