That Leo Sheridan, secretary of the water company, is the most ardent football enthusiast in Orange county is known of all men. he having been a star on the Idaho university team which won the championship of the Northwest while he was a member of the team. He decided weeks ago to witness the U. S. C.-Berkeley game on Saturday, and on Friday afternoon left for Long Beach on the stage. He caught a car for San Pedro and boarded the steamer Alexander, which sailed for the north at 5 o'clock. He arrived in San Francisco at 10 o'clock on Saturday morning. He took the ferry across the bay and joined Fayette Lewis, Oscar Heying, Charley Pearson and Leslie Swope, who had driven north the preceding day. They were interested spectators of the entire game, and Leo has taken much of the time since his return in going over the game with other fans who were not fortunate enough to be present. The boys left Berkeley at 5 o'clock Saturday afternoon and drove to Salinas, where they spent the night, arriving at midnight. The journey was resumed early on Sunday morning, and the party reached home at 8 o'clock in the evening. If that isn't going some! Fayette Lewis is the most disconsolate man in Orange county at the overwhelming defeat of his Alma Mater, the score being 27 to 0 in favor of U. S. C. He was captain of the U. C. baseball team and is one of the best known amateur baseball players in the state. U. S. C. has tasted many bitter defeats at the Berkeley stadium, but the boys were after the blood of the bear this year, and have been feasting on bear meat. Fayette has lost his appetite, and has gone on a prolonged fast. Mr. and Mrs. H. E. W. Barnes of this city and Mr. and Mrs. R. C. Peterson of Santa Ana returned from the Bear smear at Berkeley on Monday afternoon. They had excellent seats, and saw every play in the game. Doc states that it was the prettiest game of football ever saw, and the story was the sweetest ever told. He is drinking deep drafts of the blood of the Bear, and is feasting on Bear meat three times a day. He will occupy a front seat at the U. S. C.-Stanford game on Saturday afternoon.

Vote "no" on proposition No. 4, unless you want to pay for a gold brick for the next 12 years. Rugged Honesty of J. C. Joplin Proverbial Among the men in Orange county who stand for honesty and unfailing integrity, everyone who knows him accords-County Treasurer J. C. Joplin a place. He has the rugged old-fashioned honesty that makes the highest type citizens. Friends of Mr. Joplin are urging that the fact that the contest for county treasurer was not settled at the August primaries should not be overlooked. Two names appear on the November ballot. While Mr. Joplin at the August election got nearly 4000 votes more than were received by either of his opponents, still it is necessary for him to go through the present contest. "I want my friends to go to the polls Tuesday," said the county treasurer. "They have never failed me in years hitherto, and I'm sure they won't this time. I pledge myself to continue to give the various cities of the county fair and honest treatment in the loans of surplus county money to the various banks in the county." James L. Allen Stands For Law Enforcement Friends of James L. Allen, candidate for judge of the superior court, are pointing to definite statements of their candidate as to his attitude toward law enforcement measures. Mr. Allen has repeatedly declared himself for the enforcement of all laws. He has been unable to appear before all the organizations and express himself, but he has through the public press, and in personal letters, taken a definite stand on measures now before the voter. He is against the repeal of the Wright act, opposes racetrack gambling and approves enforcement of the eighteenth drinking deep drafts of the blood of the Bear, and is feasting on Bear meat three times a day. He will occupy a front seat at the U.S.C.-Stanford game on Saturday afternoon.

The party is composed of C. H. Meredith of St. Johns, New Brunswick; H. S. Burden of Portland, Me.; J. E. Estabrook of Hartford, Conn.; J. W. Mowry of Porla, Ill.; F. J. Brainard of Regina, Canada; T. J. Scott of New Orleans, and W. B. Davis of Salt Lake. The party was met at La Habra by W. H. Schureman of the Arghheim Citrus Fruit Association and George Rebman of the Anaheim Orange and Lemon Association, who conducted them through the packing houses and showed them how oranges were handled after coming from the groves. The party was entertained at lunch on McFarland's cafe, Fullerton, at noon, and in the afternoon inspected the houses in the southern half of the county. GEM OF VERDANT BEAUTY IN AN ARID LAND AIR FILLED WITH RADIANT FRAGRANCE OF BLOSSOMING VINEYARDS Replaced by Valencia Orange Groves Stretching Away on Every Hand; Travelers Declare This Is the Garden Spot of California; Sweet Perfume of Orange Blossoms Comes Softly Stealing on the Breeze AS ANAHEIM and its environs have been for years the garden spot of Southern California, so the Mother colony was in the beginning a veritable gem of verdure in a desert waste. Among the first things the Ploneers set themselves Census Figures Fall Short of Estimate Anaheim Township Has Population of 19,710 Although the census of various cities and townships in Orange county, just completed by enumerators appointed by the supervisors for the purpose of fixing salaries of justices of the peace and constables, shows a remarkable increase since the federal count was made in 1920, the figures were disappointing to the enthusiastic boosters who had set their stakes too high. It was believed that Anaheim township would show a population of twenty thousand, but according to the figures turned in by Mrs. Genevieve Fording and her aides, it only reached 19,710, falling 290 below the twenty thousand mark. The city of Anaheim dropped a little below ten thousand. Santa Ana is in deep mourning and refuses to be comforted. Every man, woman and child in that town was claiming a population of 32,000, but the enumerators only counted 24,687 noses. They are convinced that at least eight thousand people failed to stand up and answer present when the enumerator called.

It is unique and appropriate, a fitting setting for the season's festivities. It recalls to former residents of the north and east the harvest days when the "frost is on the pumpkin and the fodder's in the shock." The scar and yellow colors of autumn are used as a background, and typical cornfield is shown, with the golden pumpkins and shocked fodder. The witch, who is supposed to be in her element at this particular season, occupies one of the windows, brewing her unholy concoction of charms and strong medicines in a red hot caldron. The whole display is appropriate, and hundreds of people are stopping to admire it. Proposition No. 18 Iniquitous Measure Every Voter Should Cast His Ballot Against It Tuesday The Southern California Edison Company is one of the big business institutions, loyal to its patrons, that is spending considerable money to enlighten the voters as to the iniquity of proposition No. 18 on your ballot next Tuesday, which is headed "The Water and Power Act." This vicious measure is fathered by a syndicate of San Francisco capitalists. It proposes to bond the state for $500-000,000 for the purpose of acquiring control of the water power of the state, and naturally the promoters expect to pocket a large percentage of this huge sum that is to be squeezed out of the people. This measure has been on the ballot a number of times in the past, but has been overwhelmed by defeats. Every Hand; Travelers Declare This Is the Garden Spot of California; Sweet Perfume of Orange Blossoms Comes Softly Stealing on the Breeze AS ANAHEIM and its environs have been for years the garden spot of Southern California, so the Mother colony was in the beginning a veritable gem of verdure in a desert waste. Among the first things the Pioneers set themselves to accomplish was bringing down water from the river for irrigation, and a ditch was dug connecting the laterals with the river several miles northeast of town. This old ditch is at present the site of the pipe line for the Anaheim Union Water Company. After the ditch had been dug a willow hedge was planted on each side, as were willow hedges about each of the fifty 20-acre lots in the colony. Each tract was set to grapevines, and a part reserved for fruit trees, as well as for houses, barns and other necessary buildings. These willow hedges approached to within a short distance of the center of the community. On East Center street they came to where the city hall now stands on the south and the First National Bank building on the north side of the thoroughfare. On West Center street, extending from Lemon to Palm and northerly for a considerable distance on each thoroughfare, a row of stately poplar trees were planted, which grew to a great height and added a charm to the surroundings. Beyond them on all sides willow hedges extended to the outlying lines of the tract. These willow hedges were planted, not as barricades to the attacks of hostile Indians, for they would have proven ineffectual in repelling such attacks, but to keep out the countless thousands of horses, sheep and cattle which roamed the prairie. Another object was to prevent evaporation, and a third was for the purpose of providing wood for fuel. At many points in the countryside trunks of great redwood trees, washed down from the mountains during periods of flood, were strewn about, and these were chopped into firewood by the sturdy Pioneers. At the four main avenues leading into the community, on East and West Center street and North and South Los Angeles street, large swaving gates were erected, which were closed at night in order to keep out horses, cattle and sheep. In a few years the vineyards and fruit trees, as well as the hedges lining each lot, grew luxuriantly and, for the space of a square mile in extent, the scene was one of unexamined loveliness, setting like an emerald gem in a desert waste. Observed from the foothills from the north and northwest, as travelers approached the community from Los Angeles and elsewhere, the colony presented a beautiful sight, the stately poplar trees being conspicuous in the landscape.

This measure has been on the ballot a number of times in the past, but has always been overwhelmingly defeated. W. L. Diemling, county manager of the Edison company, in his office yesterday said there was no doubt that it would again be defeated, but the people ought to bury it under such an avalanche of votes that it could never be resurrected. California voters are hot going to saddle an indebtedness of five hundred million dollars on themselves, their children and their children's children for the profit of a coterie of San Francisco capitalists. Read the Edison ad on another page of this paper. amendment. Probably these are the three most important measures before the people today. Solliciting the support of the voters to place him in a high judicial position imposes a law enforcement obligation. But, in addition to this attitude, he is personally favorable to legal rigidity and here and elsewhere, as the records disclose, has given his time and ability to such a program, in many cases without compensation to the authorities who were trying to enforce the laws. Mr. Allen will not only bring to the office of superior judge all the necessary legal equipment, but a personal determination to obey and enforce statutes that promote orderly, clean and wholesome citizenship. Dr. and Mrs. J. W. Truxaw are rejoicing over the arrival of an 8½-pound daughter born to them on Friday at their home on South Los Angeles street. Mother and child are doing well. In a few years the vineyards and fruit trees, as well as the hedges lining each lot, grew luxuriantly and, for the space of a square mile in extent, the scene was one of unexemplied lovelliness, setting like an emerald gem in a desert waste. Observed from the foothills from the north and northwest, as travelers approached the community from Los Angeles and elsewhere, the colony presented a beautiful sight, the stately poplar trees being conspicuous in the landscape. When the Pioneers were ready to embark from San Francisco for their future home in this valley, a drawing was held and the 50 lots were thus allotted to men who became their owners. Those fortunate enough to draw lots in the center of the colony paid a sum of money to those drawing outside lots to compensate them for the difference in value. Each settler was the owner and possessor of his lot, and there was no communal interest in the colony whatsoever. Statements have been recently made that the settlers, but nothing was held in common by them, as each man owned his own separate piece of property. Along the willow hedges throughout the community ran irrigating ditches, and it was a common sight to see water running in many of them throughout the day. On one occasion a large stack of hay, situated in the lot directly south of where the Falkenstein store now stands, was found to be on fire, threatening several of the surrounding buildings. Volumes of water were sent down in the ditches, and with this fire was kept from spreading to adjoining property. Frost came in the early days to vex the Pioneers, and as late as 1877 a killing frost swept over the community in the spring of that year, turning the green vineyards into a blackened waste of burned vegetation. The transformation scene came almost in an instant, and it was heartbreaking from the standpoint of beauty, as well as from the great financial loss. In the spring and summer months, the vines grew green in their luxuriance The former maintained they had the right to keep their ditches running full of water at all seasons of the year. The latter took the position that, as riparian owners, they had the right to half the water. The courts decided in favor of the latter and, having settled their differences, the two companies thereafter stood shoulder to shoulder in defending their rights against encroachments by Riverside and San Bernardino counties. These latter suits were carried to the supreme court of the United States, and the Anaheim and Santa Ana irrigators won in every instance. Their water rights are now respected by all and, although they have had to contend with minor diversions, they have been uniformly successful in defending their rights. Today the section in and about this city presents the same pleasing prospect to the eye, as orange plantations and walnut groves stretch away on every hand. Vacant land considered worthless not more than a dozen years ago is now the site of some of the most beautiful Valencia groves in the county. When one scans the market reports in the metropolitan newspapers, it will be noted that top-notch orange prices are achieved day after day during the season by fruit shipped from this county. The Anaheim Citrus Association tops the market, the Lemon and Orange Association does likewise. Mr. Chapman takes the honors and, one after another, all—the shipping associations in this county top the list in the auction sales of oranges in the New York market. There exists a friendly rivalry between these associations as to which one shall top the market, but whether it be one or the other, it is an Orange county association every time, and not one from a single association in any other county in Southern California. A study of the auction sales of the New York markets is interesting as showing the superior advantages of this little county when it comes to growing and marketing oranges and lemons. The scent of the orange blossoms fills the air, and at night the perfume comes silently stealing in through the window.

Judge of Appellate Court Visits Friends Candidate for Associate Justice Tours Southern Counties Judge, William H. Langdon of San Francisco, presiding Justice of the court of appeals, first district, and candidate for associate justice of the state supreme court, long term was in town Considering the fact that two-thirds of the registered vote in the state is Republican, there is little doubt that the state, congressional and legislative candidates of that party will win, with probably a few exceptions. The state Republican ticket is certain to win, and Samuel M. Shortridge, candidate for United States senator, will be returned by an overwhelming majority. California is loyalty supporting the Coolidge administration, and Shortridge is one of the President's chief lieutenants. Judicial and county officials are all non-partisan, and in many cases the contest was settled at the August Judge of Appellate Court Visits Friends Candidate for Associate Justice Tours Southern Counties Judge, William H. Langdon of San Francisco, presiding justice of the court of appeals, first district, and candidate for associate justice of the state supreme court, long term, was in town on Sunday afternoon, accompanied by E. R. Werdin of Los Angeles, having driven up from San Diego, where the preceding day was spent meeting many of his friends. This is the judge's first trip south during this campaign, he having been occupied with his work as Judge of the district court of appeals until a fortnight ago. Owing to a large volume of court business engaging his attention, he was unable to leave his office during the primary campaign, yet such was his popularity among voters throughout the state, that he was next to high man among the four candidates for the office to which he aspires. He polled 418,000 votes. He met a number of friends in town, as well as in Fullerton, where he dined with a number of supporters in the evening and later proceeded on his way to Los Angeles. He is touring the counties of the south, and leaves in a day or two for the north. Judge Langdon is personally a very agreeable and pleasant gentleman, whom it is an honor to know. He is a distinguished attorney, and has devoted many years as judge upon the bench, where his services have gained for him an enviable reputation. Judge Langdon has for thirty years been a member of the California bar, and has served as superior judge of Stanislaus county, district attorney of San Francisco two terms, superintendent of schools in San Francisco, president state board of education, trustee of the Fresno state normal school, director of the state land settlement board, and is the present presiding justice, first district court of appeals. As a justice of the district court of appeal, Judge Langdon has been writing supreme court cases for eight years. Judge Langdon is admirably qualified to fill the duties of the important office which he seeks. He is one of the leading jurists in the state or California, and it is a pleasure to recommend him to voters of Orange county for their support at the election, November 2. D. A. R. WILL ENTERTAIN The Daughters of the American Revolution will entertain the Orange County Historical Society at a meeting to be held at Guild hall, on Saturday afternoon, at 2:30 o'clock. An interesting program of music is being arranged, and a very enjoyable afternoon is confidently looked forward to. Miss Alice Grimshaw will read a paper on the early history of Anaheim, and Dean Considering the fact that two-thirds of the registered vote in the state is Republican, there is little doubt that the state, congressional and legislative candidates of that party will win, with probably a few exceptions. The state Republican ticket is certain to win, and Samuel M. Shortridge, candidate for United States senator, will be returned by an overwhelming majority. California is loyally supporting the Coolidge administration, and Shortridge is one of the President's chief lieutenants. Judicial and county officials are all non-partisan, and in many cases the contest was settled at the August primary. For judge of the superior court in Orange county, H. G. Ames and E. J. Marks were elected at the primary, but there is a contest for the third sent between James L. Allen and W. H. Thomas. J. M. Backs for county clerk, R. P. Mitchell, superintendent of schools; Sam Jernigan, sheriff; Z. B. West, Jr., district attorney; W. C. Jerome, auditor; James Sleeper, assessor; J. C. Lamb, tax collector; Justine Whitney, recorder; Charles D. Brown coroner, and W. K. Hilyard, surveyor; were all elected at the primary, and will have no opposition in the November election. J. C. Joplin and James E. Livesey will fight it out next Tuesday for the county treasurer's job. In Anaheim township Charles Kuchel, for justice of the peace, and Ed Marlon constable, were elected at the primary, each having a majority of all the votes cast. The names of all these men who eliminated their opponents at the primary will be on the ballot, however, and you should vote for them, as it is possible to defeat them by consented action in writing a name in the blank space left for that purpose. Many voters will no doubt find themselves bewildered in reading the 28 propositions on the ballot, and will possibly decline to vote on any of them. Some of them are of little consequence to the average citizen, but a number of them are of vital importance and should be considered intelligently. Proposition No. 1, the first on the ballot, provides for a bond issue of $20,000,000; this sum to be loaned to World war veterans for the purchase of homes or small ranches. It is to be paid back to the state with interest in annual payments. Proposition No. 4 increases the gasoline tax 1 cent per gallon; for the purpose of highway construction. This is a measure you should swat, as under its provisions Southern California would pay the heavy end of the burden, and most of the money would be spent in the north. Proposition No. 8 is also a highway measure, but it is a just one, providing that each section of the state shall receive a portion in accordance with the amount it pays in taxes. Proposition No. 9 provides for the repeal of the Wright prohibition act: Repeal of this act would have no effect on the Volstead law, except that state county and local peace officers would be relieved of their duties as sleuths for the federal prohibition enforcement agents. Proposition No. 18 is one that you must not forget to vote against. D. A. R. WILL ENTERTAIN The Daughters of the American Revolution will entertain the Orange County Historical Society at a meeting to be held at Guild hall, on Saturday afternoon, at 2:30 o'clock. An interesting program of music is being arranged, and a very enjoyable afternoon is confidently looked forward to. Miss Alice Grimshaw will read a paper on the early history of Anaheim, and Dean Bode will read a paper on the early history of churches in Anaheim. A cordial welcome is extended the public to be present. It doesn't pay to live in the house by the side of the road, any more, unless you can stand the odor of burnt gasoline. Visitor here from Arizona, who had traveled extensively throughout California, looking for investment, said that the country around Anaheim is the garden spot of the state. A traveling New York salesman, coming up from the south on one of the stage line conches, came in contact for the first time in his life with the delicious perfume of the orange blossom coming from beautiful groves on both sides of the thoroughfare. He had seen the beauties of the Riviera, but he said the country hereabouts was the most beautiful he had ever seen. So it is that the sturdy Pioneers of old selected the most beautiful spot in all the land for their townsite. They brought down the life-giving waters from the river, and while they were compelled to face almost insuperable obstacles, transformed the desert and made it blossom as the rose. It was then a gem of radiant beauty in a waste of desert land. The section about this city remains not only the most beautiful in Southern California, but the most productive and prosperous as well, for Orange county is the richest county, mile for mile, in all the United States. Next story. "Putting on City Frills." Proposition No. 8 is also a highway measure, but it is just one, providing that each section of the state shall receive a portion in accordance with the amount it pays in taxes. Proposition No. 9 provides for the repeal of the Wright prohibition act. Repeal of this act would have no effect on the Volstead law, except that state, county and local peace officers would be relieved of their duties as sleuths for the federal prohibition enforcement agents. Proposition No. 18 is one that you must not forget to vote against. It provides for a bond issue of $500,000,-000 by the state for a vicious water and power proposal. It is fostered by a group of San Francisco capitalists, who would reap a rich harvest off the people of the state, should they manage to get it through. Proposition No. 20 is the legislative reapportionment bill. This bill would give the cities of Los Angeles, San Francisco and Oakland absolute control of the state legislature, and the rural districts would have no voice in the state's government. Vote "no" on No. 20, but pass down to No. 28—the last on the ballot, and give it your endorsement. This is the farm bureau reapportionment bill. It curtails the power of the great cities and gives the balance of the state an equal show in the matter of legislation. There are many other propositions on the ballot that you may be interested in. Read them carefully, and don't make a mistake. Some of them are meritorious. HOOVER TO SPEAK On the evening of October 30, from 8 to 9 o'clock, Hon. Herbert Hoover, secretary of commerce, will broadcast over station KFI. His talk will be in the interest of the Republican candidates. As this will be the only speech he will make in this vicinity, the suggestion has been made that the local headquarters throughout the county, and other active Republican groups, may desire to have radio parties and listen in.
