Grafton ALTHOUGH the day election is rapidly for many weeks nights have been filled relative to a squabble vacant chairs at the co is no indication at that a contest of any be staged. Anaheim po weary of divisions am The wounds incurred battleof a year ago hav and there is little d POSTPONEMENT of the harbor bond election from April 7, the date previously fixed, to June 10, was ordered by the supervisors Tuesday. It became apparent to the board that the court decision legalizing the election could not be handed down in time to permit the publicity necessary under the law before April 7, consequently, a resolution prepared by District Attorney Nelson, fixing a new date, was adopted. The new date also remains tentative, it is said, depending upon whether the court decision involving validity of the proposed bonds is favorable to the county. Should points raised by Attorney L. A. West, counsel for County Clerk J. M. Back in the mandamus proceedings arranged to test the harbor act, be upheld by the courts, the harbor election must be indefinitely postponed until a new enabling act could be passed through the legislature in 1927. Attorney West has questioned the constitutionality of the harbor act of 1915, and its amendment of 1921, under which the election proceedings would be held. The proposal to expend county funds in developing a harbor, most of which is situated within the city of Newport Beach, would be in violation of the state constitution, he contends. The act does not have uniform application to all harbors, and takes vested rights from the city, thereby again being in violation of the constitution, he argued to the court in his brief. Nelson's reply brief on behalf of the county was filed with the district court of appeals Wednesday, he stated. Answering the questions raised by West, Nelson holds that the county can legally expend money for the development of a harbor within the city of Newport Beach, because the development would be for a public purpose and would benefit the county as a whole. He cites, as an authority, the supreme court decision in the case of the city of Oakland against Garrison. The case involved the right of the county to expend funds upon the improvement of a street in Oakland, the court holding the expenditure was legal, on the grounds quoted by Nelson. The question of street improvement and harbor improvement are the same, Nelson maintains. The court stated, in its decision, that money spent in public improvement could not be construed as a gift, as defined by the constitution, which prohibits a county from making a gift or loan of credit to a municipality. With respect to the contention that the harbor act transfers control of the harbor from the city to the county, Nelson replies that the legislature had The classes will extend over a period of several days, starting May 31 and continuing to June 5. According to Palmer, special classes will be held in boating, life saving, canoeing, swimming, and various beach and water games. A number of local men have volunteered to assist in the work and committees will be selected to assist the Red Cross in putting on the class work. Schools of Orange county will be asked to co-operate with the Red Cross school, and it is planned to have a special businessmen's class. Antar Deraga, United States coast guard; Harry Welch, secretary of the Orange County Harbor Chamber of Commerce; J. P. Greeley, president of the Balboa Chamber of Commerce; Dr. G. M. Grundy, Dr. C. G. Huston and H. D. Douglas are among those who have offered their assistance in making the Red Cross classes a success. Walker Discusses Influx of Tourists Much Vacant Land to Be Settled, And Prosperity for All Agent C. A. Walker of the Santa Fe has plans for locating many of the tourists coming into Southern California upon vacant lands which are to be found hereabout in many sections. There are many leagues of fertile land in the southern counties, with abundant water available for irrigation, where the finest fruits and vegetables can be grown which may be purchased at a very low price per acre. When Mr. Walker first looked over Anaheim, some 30 years or more ago, he found fertile lands in every direction, stretching away for miles, going begging at $35 per acre. Today these lands, set to the finest Valencia orange groves in the state, cannot be purchased for less than $3000 per acre. What has been done by these Valencia orange men, Mr. Walker points out, can be done by these eastern tourists, who have similar opportunities before them for making a fortune. He cites an instance which came under his personal observation at Encinitas, where he obtained a 10 months' option upon 1940 acres of fine land, with an abundance of water, at $75,000, or about $40 per acre. This was some five or six years ago. He exerted himself to the utmost enlist the interest of capitalists in the tract, pointing out that, in his opinion, it was one of the best buys in the state, and he wrote friends in the East, telling them of the spendid chance they had to acquire this valuable tract. He was unable to find a purchaser and, after his option lapsed, the land was taken over by other parties at the same price. Two years thereafter the land was sold for $175,000, and today the price is $375,000. The finest fruits ALTHOUGH the day election is rapidly approaching to a squabble vacant chairs at the co-office is no indication at that a contest of any kind is staged. Anaheim powers weary of divisions among The wounds incurred in battleof a year ago have and there is little direct part of the rank and file to countenance another or to make themselves There will probably be the field, but each man has own feet, his indulgence and fitness for his only asset.

Godfrey county to expend funds upon the improvement of a street in Oakland, the court holding the expenditure was legal, on the grounds quoted by Nelson. The question of street improvement and harbor improvement are the same, Nelson maintains. The court stated, in its decision, that money spent in public improvement could not be construed as a gift, as defined by the constitution, which prohibits a county from making a gift or loan of credit to a municipality. With respect to the contention that the harbor act transfers control of the harbor from the city to the county, Nelson replies that the legislature had the right to enact legislation providing such transfer of control, the courts having ruled that such right of transfer is held over streets and highways. Waterways and harbors are included in this right, Nelson believes. Opposing West's argument that the harbor act is unconstitutional because it does not apply uniformly to all harbors, but excepts certain harbors from its provisions, when there is no natural or reasonable distinction between the harbors, Nelson argues that there is a reasonable distinction. Certain harbors, such as Eureka, had been developed by the cities adjacent to them and were under the control of those cities. It was reasonable to exempt those harbors from transfer of control, because the cities had spent their own money in the development of the harbors, Nelson contends. Names Listed for New Grand Jury Material for the orange county grand jury of 1926 was selected and announced by Superior Judge Marks, who filed a list of 30 names, from which will be empaneled for duty the grand jury next fall. The list follows: Samuel M. Fuller, R. T. Davies and L. M. Gardiner of Fullerton; Mrs. Martha C. Goodale, John Beneke and B. R. Douglass of Anaheim; Charles L. Hansen, Placentia; Henry F.

Newcomb, Tustin; S. R. Bowen, Huntington Beach; Mrs. Millie Cosier, Newport Beach; E. E. Jahrauz, To the question what is going to be done with all these newcomers, he points out there is room enough for all of them. If they will form colonies and purchase and improve tracts of land where soil is fertile and water for irrigation abundant, they will in a few years be wealthy men. Mr. Walker will be handed the blue ribbon for being an optimist, but every Valencia orange grower in this portion of the county knows that he is telling nothing but the perpendicular truth.

Anaheim people have grown weary of divisions among the citizens. The wounds incurred in the memorable battle of a year ago have not yet healed, and there is little disposition on the people refused to run again, because his private affairs demanded his entire attention, and Messrs. Franzen and Grafton were reluctant to give their consent, but finally yielded under pressure. Carl Leonard of the American Express Company was prevailed upon to make the race for Mr. Stock's seat. The nominating petitions were filed with City Clerk Merritt Wednesday, with the following names attached: F. A. Yungbluth, W. A. Dolan, W. J. Slemann, G. M. Simpson, C. C.

Anaheim people have grown weary of divisions among the citizens. The wounds incurred in the memorable battlefield a year ago have not yet healed, and there is little disposition on the part of the rank and file of the people to countenance another factional fight, or to make themselves a party to it. There will probably be two tickets in the field, but each man must stand on his own feet, his individuality, popularity and fitness for the office being his only asset. The people of this fair city are deadly tired of factional warfare. They are indifferent as to the number of candidates in the race, but are demanding that each aspirant run on his individual merits. His political or religious beliefs, or his affiliation with any order or society will not be considered in measuring his fitness for the office. The first definite move in the campaign was made at a mass meeting held at registration headquarters, in Samuel Kraemer building, on West Center street, Monday evening. Quite a number of voters were present and unanimously endorsed the administration of the present city government. The three retiring members of the board—Messrs. Grafton, Franzen and Stock—had each signified his desire to quit the office, as the duties were so arduous that they conflicted with their private business. Mr. Stock, who has served the people faithfully and well for many years, considered that he had fulfilled his duty as a good citizen, and declined all overtures looking to his nomination. Grafton and Franzen, however, who have only served a year, were persuaded to permit their names to be used again. Carl Leonard of the American Express Company was chosen to run for the seat vacated by Mr. Stock. There is a rumor affloit to the effect that ex-Mayor E. H. Metcalf's friends have drafted him into the race again. If this is true, probably two other men will be chosen to run on the ticket with him. In that case, the contest will be full of interest and a heavy vote may be expected. Nobody, however, expects anything but a clean campaign. In fact, the people of the city are not disposed to tolerate mud-slinging and dirty politics. That the present city councilmen have fulfilled the expectations of the people who elected them a year ago is indicated by the insistent demand that the three retiring members stand for re-election. Godfrey Stock positively refused to run again, because his private affairs demanded his entire attention, and Messrs. Franzen and Grafton were reluctant to give their consent, but finally yielded under pressure. Carl Leonard of the American Express Company was prevailed upon to make the race for Mr. Stock's seat. The nominating petitions were filed with City Clerk Merritt Wednesday, with the following names attached: F. A. Yungbluth, W. A. Dolan, W. J. Slemann, G. M. Simpson, C. C.

The local Zion Lutheran church was the host to the visitors. Representatives from practically every city in Orange, Los Angeles, Riverside and San Bernardino counties were present. The Rev. C. W. Dettman, president of the Walther League, presided at the meeting. The Rev. W. Titjan of Van Nuys, principal speaker of the afternoon program, told members of the church of the work progressing at the Palsades, near Santa Monica, where the order has a summer camp. Miss Adelade Mueller of Orange presented a paper telling of the activities of the junior members of the organization.

Citizen of Anaheim Awarded Damages Receives $15,000 Judgment for Automobile Crash John A. Thompson of Anaheim gained a court victory over Mr. and Mrs. Neil H. Clark and their son, Glenn. Of Fullerton, when a jury in Superior Judge Z. B. West's court awarded him $15,000 damages for injuries received in an automobile accident. The crash occurred last August, at the intersection of Hester road and West Chapman avenue, west of the county hospital. Thompson, who suffered a basal fracture of the skull and loss of memory and the power of thought, it is claimed, sued the Clarks for $35,000 damages, holding that the parents were responsible for the actions of young Glenn Clark, 17, who was at the wheel of the car that collided with Thompson's machine. At the trial both sides tried to saddle responsibility for the wreck on the other, but the jury placed it upon young Clark. The damage verdict was reached after an hour of deliberation, the jury voting 11 to 1. Agreement by nine of the jurors was required. Attorney William L. Waters of Fullerton and Clyde Bishop of Santa Ana represented Thompson. McClure, Griffin & Yorkum of Los Angeles appeared for the Clarks. Whether an appeal will be taken from the verdict has not been announced. Wife—Why are you taking three umbrellas along?

H. Nicholson, arrived in Orange county yesterday. Nicholson refused to announce any plans that he might have in ferreting out the aliens, who have come into Orange county, but declared that arrests would follow and that those found to have violated the border regulations in entering the country would be deported. W. Golumbrik, patrol inspector, is one of the officers here. He, with Nicholson, spent several months in Orange county during the latter part of last year, and the two were most successful in their work. It was with regret on the part of Orange county officials that they were ordered back to San Diego. Lack of funds on the part of the immigration service was given at that time as the cause for their CHECK ARTISTS CAPTURED IN ANAHEIM TWO MEN CAUGHT WITH THE GOODS ON THEM SATURDAY NIGHT Had Cashed Seven Checks at Anaheim Stores Before Suspicion Was Aroused; Each Check Bore the Name of Fred Robins, Sign Painter, and the Amount was $20.50; Most of Cash and Goods Recovered GANG of check artists, who had just launched into a profitable business and were be- Unique Ceremonies At Road Opening Thousand Automobiles Join in Procession Saturday Opening ceremonies for Stanton road, a recently completed highway through Stanton, connecting Buena Park and points north with Huntington Beach and other Orange county beach towns, drew more than 1000 persons to Buena Park and Huntington Beach Saturday. A caravan of more than 60 machines traveled over the new road. State Assemblyman S. C. Hartranft, T. B. Talbert, chairman of the Orange county board of supervisors; two motion picture actresses and one actor assisted in the opening ceremonies. The new road, said to be the thickest concrete road in Orange county, extends from the Anaheim-Cypress highway, near Whitaker corner, through Stanton to connect with the Huntington Beach-Garden Grove highway at Lincoln Acres. The highway over the five-mile stretch is 10 inches thick. The highway boosters left Huntington Beach early Saturday morning to tour the county, advertising the opening of the road. Meeting at 11 o'clock in Norwalk, the caravan proceeded to Buena Park, where a large delegation of cars from the northern part of the county joined the parade. Under the escort of state motorcycle officers, the caravan proceeded over the new road to Stanton, where progress was barred by three ribbons, representing Buena Park, Stanton and Huntington Beach. Talbert acted as master of ceremonies and, in a short talk, declared that the tie which separated the three towns now was severed. L. J. Robeson of Buena Park, Frank D. Turner of Stanton and J. A. Armitage of Huntington Beach removed the obstructing ribbons, handling them to the motion picture celebrities. Miss Ena Gregory, Wampus star of 1925, now of the Universal studios; Miss Linda Todd of Universal and Tom Tyler Had Cashed Seven Checks at Anaheim Stores Before Suspicion Was Aroused; Each Check Bore the Name of Fred Robins, Sign Painter, and the Amount was $20.50; Most of Cash and Goods Recovered A GANG of check artists, who had just launched into a profitable business and were beginning to rake in the shekels with both hands, found their career cut short by the Anaheim police Saturday night. Two men were working Anaheim, but a third, acknowledged to be a member of the get-rich-quick gang, was probably operating in some neighboring town. Seven checks were passed on Anaheim merchants during the hour or so they were at work here, each of them drawn for $20.50, and each bearing the forged signature of Fred Robins, the sign painter. The two operating here gave their names as Joe Allen and L. F. Jenkins. Several checks, identical with the ones passed, were found in their possession. They had not yet had an opportunity of passing them on unsuspecting merchants. Jack Royalty, a clerk in Locke's shoe store on East Center street, was the man responsible for their capture. A small purchase had been made there and a check tendered in payment. Suspicion that there was a screw loose somewhere, Royalty followed the man after he left the store, and trailed him directly to the McCloskey clothing store, on West Center street. In payment of a purchase here, another check was tendered, identical with the one left at Locke's. The police were immediately notified and Allen and Jenkins were soon in custody. They made no effort to squirm out of the difficulty, but confessed the fraud, stating that they had cashed seven checks here. Three others were found in Jenkins' possession which would undoubtedly have been turned into cash and goods during the evening, had the crooks not been apprehended. Cash to the amount of $108.08 was found on the two men, and all the goods purchased recovered, having been stowed in an automobile belonging to Jenkins. The car is now in possession of the police. Merchants of Fullerton were victimized Friday by a group of bad check passers using similar methods. However, none of the latter could identify either of the prisoners held here as the man who passed the checks thre. Police say that both men have admitted having another confederate, but they each give him a different name. The description of this man given by the prisoners tallies with that given by the Fullerton victims. According to the prisoners, the checks were all written by the missing suspect. FRED BURGESS, AHOY! School Elections Friday, March 26 Both the high school and intermediate school will hold an election on Friday, March 26, for the purpose of electing a member of each board. S. D. Winters, president of the high school board, is the retiring member, and the term of Miss E. Kate Rea, secretary of the grammar board, expires. Both Mr. Winters and Miss Rea will be candidates for re-election and, in all probability, they will have no opposition. In previous years persons could vote at the spring school elections under the old registration, but Attorney General passers using similar methods.

Fred was an instantaneous hit with all the kids in town, and he had a faculty for locating the finest pear trees for miles around and knew where the most luscious pears grew high up in the topmost branches. He continued as newsboy for a number of years; later entered the railway mail service, and is now living with his children in Los Angeles, having been retired on a pension after 50 years of honorable service. Fred met Miss Ida Raine here soon after he first arrived. Their acquaintance ripened into love, and later they were happily married. She passed away several years ago. He knew where to find the luscious pears, but at that he was one of the best boys that ever lived. His brother-in-law, Ed Raine, still resides in Orange county. Ed never stole a pear in his life, but he would travel 50 miles to get to a skating rink. He is a grandfather, going on 70 years of age, and is today probably the best amateur skater in Southern California. They are going to build a new hotel in Chicago to be called the Coolidge. Doubtless the slogan will be: "Good service without unnecessary noise." Webb has just ruled that only those who have registered since January 1, and are on the new great register, can vote at this election. As the date for registering for this election expired on February 26, not more than 50 per cent of the electors of Anaheim are eligible to vote.
