California Fruit Exchange Shipping From 20 to 50 Carloads a Month by Way of Panama Canal; Excellence of Quality and Packing Facilities Increases Popularity of Our Valencias in Eastern Markets A prospective buyer for an orange orchard was in town a few days ago, and made it known that he was in the market for 100 acres of oranges. He desired the land intact. As a coincidence, the California Fruit Exchange is shipping, via the Panama canal, from 20 to 50 carloads a month of citrus fruits across the Atlantic to markets in Europe, and these shipments will continue. It is said, until next September. This will strengthen the value of orchards in this section. There is a bumper crop this year, and some growers are so well pleased with conditions that they look for 7 cents a pound in September. People in Europe have been convinced that California oranges are superior to those of Spain, Africa and Australia. But the eating of our oranges is the best proof, and the taste of the fruit is delicious. It is said the American habit of eating sliced oranges or grapefruit at the breakfast table or drinking a glass of orange juice at lunch has been communicated to Europeans and they are beginning to enjoy California fruit served in this way and to demand more. It is said improved means of refrigeration have resulted in the landing of California oranges at their foreign destinations in fine condition after their month's journey. It is predicted that in a few years the annual shipments will be enormous. This trade, however, has its limitations. Despite competition, California now supplies 85 per cent of the demand from the principal markets of the United States and Canada. Only the surplus production is going abroad to compete with foreign fruit growers, but it is bound to increase in time. The disposition of the surplus in this manner will aid in the maintenance of a strong domestic market and will encourage the industry. Growers must bear in mind that it pays to raise good fruit and keep everlastingly at it. It does not pay to attempt to raise oranges in a haphazard way. It requires much labor and a keen understanding of citrus culture to make a successful orchardist. It is reported that a bulletin just issued by the secretary of commerce places the export value of all American oranges sent abroad last year at nearly $10,000,000, and that of grapefruit was $1,500,000. Exports of raisins, of which California produced nearly all, were valued at $9,300,000. Fruit shipped to eastern markets from Anaheim packing houses in past years has topped the market prices, some choice brands bringing as high as $10 a box. The manner of handling and packing oranges here is highly appreciated by eastern buyers. Others from Anaheim attending the meeting were: Dr. J. G. Hilleary vice-president of First National Bank, and H. A. Hawley, cashier of the Southern County Bank. The afternoon session consisted of two addresses, one by Graydon Hoffman, assistant cashier California National Bank, Long Beach, who spoke on "Credit Files," and another by G. B. Harrison, director of Commercial National Bank, Uplands, who spoke on "Public Deposits." Orange county, represented by James H. Walker cashier of First National Bank, La Habra, presented its report. James W. Foley of the Pasadena Evening Post, well-known poet, delivered the evening address on "The Fun of Making a Living." Notable Engineer Attends Funeral Comes From Los Angeles for Cousin's Obsequies Mr. and Mrs. Fred J. Fischer of Los Angeles, the former's sister, Mrs. Anna De Frees, and his son-in-law, O. C. Whitaker, were in town on Tuesday afternoon, attending the funeral of John Hartung, who was Mr. Fischer's cousin. He is a son of the late John Fischer, one of the pioneers of Anaheim, who built the Planters hotel—in its day the most pretentious building between Los Angeles and San Diego. When the building was destroyed by fire, in the 70's, it was rebuilt by its owner. As the flag was run up on its staff, on completion of the new building, Mr. Fischer stood in the street and was horrified to see the flag being raised upside down. He called loudly to have it righted, which was immediately done, but he laughingly observed to those about him that it was an omen of ill luck. The hotel was later again destroyed by fire and it was never rebuilt. A row of brick business structures now stand on the old site. Mr. Fischer and his family left Anaheim in 1878, going to Los Angeles, where he was elected to the responsible position of city assessor and then county assessor. His son was sent to San Francisco to be apprenticed as a machinist at the Risdon Iron Works. He was always of a mechanical turn of mind, and has developed into one of the foremost hydraulic engineers in the West. He has been for 38 years employed by the Los Angeles Water Company, and now occupies the responsible position of chief mechanical engineer. He was Engineer Mulholland's chief associate in the building of the aqueduct, and will be associated with that gentleman in bringing the waters of the Colorado hitherward. He is in charge of all the pumping plants for the Los Angeles Water Company and has many skilled and an army of unskilled workmen under him.

Fruit shipped to eastern markets from Anaheim packing houses in past years has topped the market prices, some choice brands bringing high as $10 a box. The manner of handling and packing oranges here is highly appreciated by eastern buyers. This service proves the power of organization and the marketing of fruit through co-operative methods. The man referred to at the beginning of this article came from a valley to the north, and local growers incline to believe that this section is drawing the attention of buyers of orange groves, which is proof this section is hard to beat when it comes to raising citrus fruits. Excellence in quality and better packing and marketing facilities of California Valencia oranges have served greatly to increase their popularity among eastern consumers this season, says a field manager of the California Fruit Growers' Association, on his return from an eight weeks' trip through eastern states. "California can still expect plenty of competition from Florida in citrus crops," "although Florida for the last two or three years has been thinking more about real estate subdivisions than about fruit growing." The manager's trip, which he makes each year for the fruit growers, included stops at all the chief middle western and eastern cities and a visit to Florida. Almost everywhere, he reports, he found increases in the popularity and consumption of California citrus products. "California has an advantage over Florida in the fact that our citrus industry is better organized," he said. "The efficient and centralized growing and distributing organizations which we have here are more advantageous both for the ranchers and the consumers. At present Florida has too many distributing groups." Many of Florida's "boom towns" have already collapsed, and others appeared He spent his school days in Anaheim and was a universal favorite among all who knew him. He know where the most luscious pears grew high up in the topmost branches of the trees and, unless he liked a fellow, wouldn't show him where they were. He met a few old-time friends and associates in town, but he said there are only a few of the best of us left. He has promised to come back to Anaheim and spend the day with old friends here. Mrs. De Frees has the distinction of having been the first white girl born in Anaheim, and was named after the colony. She was born at her parents' home, immediately west of the Planters hotel, which stood at the northwest corner of Center and Los Angeles streets. She spent her school days here and grew to be a young lady of striking beauty. She is still a handsome woman; although the raven locks are silvered. For a number of years she has resided in Los Angeles and makes occasional visits to friends here. Her last visit was on the occasion of the orange show a year ago. There are a number of former Anaheim living in Los Angeles, and a reunion and picnic of these good people has been proposed. to be on the verge of dissolution. Some of them, like Coral Gables, backed by ample capital, will continue to prosper. On the whole, the manager found that conservative Florida people are convinced that the boom is over, and are trying to get conditions back to normal.

AHEIM GAZETTE Anaheim, California, Thursday, April 29, 1926 ANGES THROUGH CANAL NATIONAL EDITORS COMING ONE THOUSAND members of the National Editorial Association will pass through Anaheim in automobiles the afternoon of Tuesday, June 28. These men and women represent some of the largest dailies in the country, as well as great weekly newspapers, and come from all parts of the United States. They are coming to attend their regular annual session in Los Angeles, beginning June 29 and continuing 11 days. Following the meeting, they go to Santa Barbara, Hotel Del Monte, San Francisco, Oakland, and will visit Luther Burbank's gardens at Santa Rosa, in the Valley of the Moon. The plant wizard invited them to visit him on the occasion of their pilgrimage to California, and they will go to Santa Rosa in response to his invitation, even though he has been called away by death. They proceed to Oregon and Washington and will return home over the northern route. In all of the places visited they will be entertained by California editors, chambers of commerce and distinguished people everywhere. We shall do the same for them in Orange county. prepared by the editor of this paper, the following words occur: "Welcome to California, land of fruits and flowers, where the sun shines in azure skies forever blue, and the winds blow in soft from the sea. You have traveled far, but none of you have traveled so far but that you are evot now in your Uncle Samuel's own front yard, with Old Glory flying free aloft and the bells of the battleship fleet off shore chilling out the happy hours. Eight bells!" The idea sought to be conveyed is that while many of our friends will have traveled three or four thousand miles—from the Atlantic, the Lakes and the Gulf—they will be still in this great domain, by the shores of the sounding sea. A noted American orator once said, speaking of things behold across the waters, that he had witnessed the splendors of the Riviera, had seen the full moon rise in majesty over the snow-covered Alps, and many other thralling things which we do not now recall, but that the grandest sight he had ever seen was the Stars and Stripes flying triumphant in a foreign land. them will come again. In the address of welcome we say: "We feel that many of you will come to California again, for that is the history of men and women visiting this glorious land. We are sure that you will like us, we know that we shall like you. We feel that you will come again, for we liken you to the fabled traveler of old, who having eaten of the fruit of the lotus tree, would fain live forever by its side." That is the history of people coming to California. That all our visitors will look us over with scrutinizing eyes is not to be doubted, and we want to be dressed in our best bib and tucker and put our best foot forward. It is unnecessary to say that these editors will send back home pages and pages of glowing accounts of what they see, and California is going to be advertised as never before in all its history. During their progress toward the setting sun, the telegraph will carry many stories of sights behold and states visited, and during their convention wires will be burdened concerning the meeting and with the wonders of this favored land. The visit of these editors is not a week away, but it is not... Shorty' Wortman Fractures Wrist Newspaperman Attended School With President Harding William E. Wortman, a valued attaché of this office, had the bad luck to break his right wrist in two places, at his home, on Sunday afternoon. Mr. Wortman, besides being a very capable and successful newspaperman, devotes his spare time to raising thoroughbred fowls. Noticing that one of his prize roosters was troubled with an affection of the eye, he tried to catch it, to minister to its aliment, when it sprang at him, attempting to claw him with its spurs. He jumped back and, stepping in a slight depression made by wallowing hens, he fell over backwards, breaking his wrist as stated. Dr. O'Toole's services were requisitioned and the double fracture was soon reduced. "Shorty" will probably be able to resume writing again in the near future. He has the distinction of having gone to school with the late President Harding at Marlton, Ohio. He admits teaching the chief executive how to chew tobacco. On the occasion of the President's visit to California, three years ago, Shorty and his mother were invited to meet him and Mrs. Harding at the home of the President's sister, at Santa Ana. They had made preparations to attend, but a few evenings before were apprised of the President's untimely death in San Francisco. "Shorty" is "plzen" on Hiram Johnson. Annual Convention A. U. H. S. Student Wins Oratory Tilt Louis Kroeger, Anaheim Union high school student was selected recently to represent Orange county in the next elimination contest in the Los Angeles Times Constitution Oratorical contest. Winning first place in the contest with two other student orators, young Kroeger announced that he would select as his prize a bust of Abraham Lincoln, which he will donate to the Anaheim school. He had his choice of this award or of $25 cash. Other awards in the contest were: Second prize, $15; Robert Hartman, Orange; third, $10; Wallace Grebs, Santa Ana. The next step in the contest will be held May 7 and will include contestants from all Southern California. Old-Time Resident Visits Anaheim Charles Stone of Richfield was a business visitor in town a day or two ago. Mr. Stone for years was zanjero for the Anaheim Union Water Company, but is now vacationing under his own vine and fig tree. Mr. Stone admits he was born in 1856 and went to school in the old adobe school that stood on the site where Falkenstein's store now is located, on West Center. Charles says he would like to turn back the hands of time a bit, just to see what this section is going to look like in the next 25 or 50 years to come. Call again, Charlie, the latch-string always hangs out. Placentia Orchard Priests Good Price Great Wealth in Orange County Sixth Most Prosperous County In the United States Oil and tourists are valuable sources of income to Orange county, but not necessary for the prosperity of the district, according to Raymond Nebelung, federal land bank appraiser, who spoke Tuesday before the Klwanis club. Mr. Nebelung spoke on "Home Grown Foods." Ralph Kemp was chairman of the day. Featuring Boys' Week, a group of 30 grammar school youths favored the club with chorus singing, a duet and a violin solo. The boys were under direction of Miss Katharine Williams, music instructor, and were given hearty applause. A girls octet from the high school appeared in two songs, advertising the senior class play to be given in the high school auditorium the nights of April 29 and 30. "Orange county is the sixth most prosperous agricultural county in the nation, even though it is one of the smallest counties in California," said Mr. Nebelung. "Many believe that if the tourist crop and the oil income were stopped, there would be nothing to keep this section going." "Orange county is fortunate in having a large percentage of its total area under cultivation. Last year 44,000 acres in this county were devoted to citrus culture, providing a gross income of $16,000,000. Walnuts with a total of 14,000 acres and a gross return of book us over with scrutinyizing eyes is not to be doubted, and we want to dressed in our best hib and tucker and put our best foot forward.

The visit of these editors is yet some weeks away, but it is not too early to prepare a royal welcome for them here in this garden spot of the world. A very delightful program is being prepared for them, and we feel that many lasting impressions will be made upon them. All the cities and towns to be visited are preparing receptions for them, and we of this city should do likewise. There will be three governors in the party and many distinguished men and women representing the newspapers of the United States. Further along the address continues: "California cannot honor you more than you honor us by your presence." Let us prepare to honor our distinguished visitors.

There were about 175 delegates and members present. The program was opened by the salute to the flag, given by members of the Girl Reserves of the Anaheim Union high school. Mrs. Harry Sears read "Meditation," after which Mrs. Earl E. Smith gave an address of welcome on behalf of the Anaheim Ebell, followed by the response for delegates, by Mrs. Albert Launer, president of Fullerton Ebell. Miss E. Kate Rea read the report of the program committee, and Mrs. Nellie E. Terry the credentials report. Miss Josephine Seaman of La Jolla, president of San Diego county federation, gave an address, her subject being "A Neglected Power." Mrs. E. E. Knight of Yarba Linda, southern district president, and Mrs. Henry Goodcell of San Bernardino, state vice-president at large, both gave addresses. Mrs. A. P. Nelson, Orange county federation president, and Mrs. Henry De Nyse of Riverside, state chairman of conservation of waterways and highways, each spoke during the day, and Mrs. A. J. Lawton of Los Angeles spoke on the community property laws. A group of four pupils from the Sherman Institute, under the direction of Mrs. Long, gave a very interesting entertainment of Indian songs and dances. The Anaheim Union high school double quartet rendered two songs, followed by an encore. The American Legion Auxiliary served a luncheon at noon at the American Legion rooms. Placentia Orchard Brings Good Price It is reported that a 20-acre orange grove in Placentia changed hands recently, the price paid being $4500 per acre, cash. While this is a goodly sum to pay, it is pointed out that there are many orange orchards in this valley that could not be bought; that is, the owners just won't part with them. They are money-makers, and the owners realize that were they to sell them, they would be at a loss to know what to re-invest their money in to better themselves. Of course, there are other orchards—many of them, no doubt—that would not sell for half this amount, for the simple reason that the trees are not kept up to standard. BOB FOWLER AFTER TROUT Mr. and Mrs. Bob Fowler leave tomorrow evening, at 9 o'clock, for Deep Creek, in the remote wilds of San Bernardino county, over against Hesperia. To break the record for trout catching, they expect to arrive at the creek early on Saturday morning, and if this should meet the eyes of the fish, they better beat it, for Bob says he is hungry for trout and is going after them. The item appearing in last week's issue, that he was to leave last Friday evening for the fish country, was an obvious indiscretion of the types. He declares he has always stood for law enforcement and that he has no pull with the fish and game commission, although many people who saw the item said that he must have had. He has promised to present us with a basket of fish, and we have squared the story with the fish and game commission. Rob is innocent. Orange county is the sixth most prosperous agricultural county in the nation, even though it is one of the smallest counties in California," said Mr. Nebolung. "Many people believe that if the tourist crop and the oil income were stopped, there would be nothing to keep this section going. Orange county is fortunate in having a large percentage of its total area under cultivation. Last year 44,000 acres in this county were devoted to citrus culture, providing a gross income of $16,000,000. Walnuts with a total of 14,000 acres and a gross return of $3,000,000 are second in importance. Santa Ana is known the world over for being the heaviest shipping point for walnuts." The speaker enumerated limna beans, blackeye beans, hay, grain, sugar beets, peppers and tomatoes as other agricultural products which contributed last year to the grand total of $25,000,000 grogs return to the farmer. He predicted that the avocado and persimmon will take their places within a few years as major products. OH YOU CHICKEN! Robert Pautz of Stanton, a westside chicken raiser, has recently installed a 1000-egg incubator and is preparing to raise poultry on a large scale. He has just received a consignment of eggs from Illinois for hatching; the chicks to be crossed with native stock. The new breed will increase their poundage while the eggs will go 30 ounces to the dozen. The meat is of exceptionally fine flavor, and a dealer in a nearby town has placed an order of all the fryers he can get, agreeing to pay a bonus of 3 cents a pound over market price. THE DOCTOR'S REVENGE A young doctor was summoned as a witness in a case that depended on technical evidence. The opposing counsel was inclined to be sarcastic at the idea of so young a doctor being called. "You are familiar," he said, "with the symptoms of concussion of the brain?" Yes," said the doctor. Then if Mr. Smith and myself collided, and banged our heads together, should we get concussion of the brain? Mr. Smith might," said the doctor. At the center their burial H.

R. Hannah, proprietor of the Highway Bulb gardens. Air mail Sunday carried a number of the beautiful new flowers, which Mr. Hannah has named the Anaheim gladioli, to the John Scheeppers Company, wholesale firm in the metropolis. If this first shipment is given the reception anticipated, the Anaheim will find a permanent place on the New York markets, Mr. Hannah said. It was only last week that the new variety made its appearance on the Los Angeles floral market. A representative of the New York firm saw the blossoms and immediately approached Mr. Hannah regarding the possibility of buying the output of the variety. So the samples were shipped at once to New York to secure the confirmation of the eastern office of the concern.

Mr. Hartung passed away at St. Catherine's hospital, at Santa Monica, at 10 o'clock on Friday evening. He had been ill for several months and was taken from his home in Venice to the hospital a week or more before he passed away. The beautiful funeral service of the Elks lodge was performed by Exalted Ruler Oscar Heying, assisted by Leading Knight William Goodrum, Loyal Knight Harry D. Riley, Lecturing Knight Charles Bohac, Secretary Will Pierce, Chaplain Evan Alsip, and Esquire George Holden. Mrs. Walter Ross sang three numbers beautifully, being accompanied by Mrs. Dixie Wilbur. She sang first "Abide With Me," followed by "Beautiful Isle of Somewhere" and "Nearer My God to Thee." Friends passed by the casket, viewing the remains lying calm and peaceful in death. The pullbearers were: F. A. Yungbluth, William Falkenstein, Samuel Kraemer, Sr., C. F. Grim, John Cassou and F. C. Rinupau. At the cemetery the Elks continued their burial ceremony, and Rev. Thomas H. Walker of the Presbyterian church pronounced the benediction. Mr. Hartung was born in the Hartt mountains, Germany, which he ever regarded as the most beautiful spot on earth, more beautiful even than the Alps. Some years ago he visited his birthplace at Goaslar and spent several days there. The World war coming on, he departed on one of the first steamers sailing for this country. He was born March 17, 1858. He is only last week that the new variety made its appearance on the Los Angeles floral market. A representative of the New York firm saw the blossoms and immediately approached Mr. Hannah regarding the possibility of buying the output of the variety. So the samples were shipped at once to New York to secure the confirmation of the eastern office of the concern. The new variety is a dark purple gladiolus, large of flower and white centered. It was originated and developed by Mr. Hannah. ELKS SERVICES FOR THE DEAD Twelve Spaces for Feature Displays Are Taken, and Some of the Creations Will Be Works of Art; All Orange Racks Already Taken, and 75 Per Cent of the Automobile Space Has Been Reserved by Dealers SCORES of men are now busily at work out at the grounds, making preparations for the opening of the Sixth Annual Valencia Orange Show on Thursday, May 13. Booths in the industrial section are all completed; carpenters, linemen and other workers are busy putting the finishing touches on the monster tent which will house both citrus feature and industrial displays; the poles are up for the large automobile salon tent. Altogether, the show grounds are a veritable beehive of activity. A dozen striking feature displays each entered by a leading community of the orange-growing Southland, will form—the main fruit display section. These have all been reserved by exhibitors, it was announced by Manager George W. Reid. He also stated that all orange racks in the feature tent have been taken. 50 per cent of the industrial display space sold, and space in the automobile salon 75 per cent reserved. Visitors to the sixth annual exposition in honor of the Valencia orange will be greeted by many striking innovations, it is promised. By no means the least of these will be the arrangement of exhibits in the industrial department. By the new plan these exhibits will face concentric, circular aisles with cross-paths leading through. Such an arrangement, it is declared, will relieve the usual monotony of parallel lanes and the circular passages will tend) to cause the visitors to visit every booth. Small triangular booths placed at various points will also break up the booth arrangement in a pleasing fashion. Plans for an elaborate formal opening on the night of May 13, next, are being rushed, it is stated by members of the entertainment committee. It is anticipated that these plans will be in such shape that a definite announcement of the "premier" program can be made early next week. Details of the special days, which are to be reserved for certain sections especially participating in the show will be ready within three or four days, it was stated. Decorators are scheduled to begin their work actively next Wednesday, much of the preliminary work in their studios being already finished. Most of the feature booths in the main show will harmonize with the main decoration motif of the show—the "Siege of Troy." With a huge "Trojan Horse"—a wooden steer 30x40 feet in dimensions—as the key feature, and with everything from Greek statues to Greek letters lending the Hellenic touch to the exposition, visitors may expect some At the cemetery the Elks continued their burial ceremony, and Rev. Thomas H. Walker of the Presbyterian church pronounced the benediction. Mr. Hartung was born in the Hartz mountains, Germany, which he ever regarded as the most beautiful spot on earth, more beautiful even than the Alps. Some years ago he visited his birthplace at Goslar and spent several days there. The World war coming on, he departed on one of the first steamers sailing for this country. He was born March 17, 1858. He came to New York with his parents when four years of age. The family came west to San Francisco, where they resided six years. They came to Anaheim in 1868, and here deceased lived until five years ago, when, being afflicted with heart trouble, he was ordered by his physician to the seaside. He took up his home at Venice, and for a time his health showed marked improvement. Several months ago his malady reasserted itself and, although everything that medical science could devise was done to prolong his days, it was all unavailing and he passed away at the Santa Monica hospital, having been conveyed thither several days before the end. He was for 53 years a highly esteemed and honored resident of this city. He engaged in wine making, and was known as one of the best wine makers in the state. He disposed of his vineyard and embarked in the banking business, at which he was successful, amassing a large fortune. He was one of the organizers of the First National bank, and was for several years president of that institution. Being attacked by an affection of the heart, he was compelled to retire from active business pursuits, and disposed of his bank stock and took up his abode at the seashore in a vain endeavor to prolong his days. He was married to Miss Matte Chevalier of Los Angeles, who survives him. Besides his widow, he leaves a son, Edgar J. Hartung, to mourn his loss. The passing of this beloved pioneer will cause deep and heartfelt sorrow throughout the community where he had lived so long. He was universally esteemed for his uprightness of character and many charitable deeds.

Manager Reid promises, "Paint and clean-up week," now being staged as a preliminary to the big show, is making the city immaculate, and work of bedecking the city with flags and banners will soon be started.

Manager Reid and other officials declare they confidently expect at least 100,000 persons to see the show between May 13 and 23, inclusive.
