LECTURER URGES HARBOR BUILDING Unprecedented Progress Predicted for This Section Speaking from a wealth of experience, gleaned from a close study made in all the western states, Irving Vining, president of the Oregon State Chamber of Commerce, says that business men of Southern California must get away from apathy and indifference and take up the work of development and improvement as a unit. He further warns against self-satisfied groups and individuals, who, following the line of least resistance, create stumbling blocks in the paths of progress. In a county-wide appeal, made at meetings in Santa Ana, Fullerton, Orange and other Orange county cities, during the last week, Vining urged cooperation between all communities in the county as well as between counties and states. In his opinion, in this way and only in this way will the great problems of the west be solved. The outstanding great project, that of the Colorado river, requires the co-operation of seven western states. Other big projects of national importance and scope also require the co-operation of several states, he said. County-wide questions should be discussed in a friendly way, bringing into play the good feeling which is engendered by co-operating in bringing about better things for Orange county as a whole. Inter-county problems follow, then those of interstate importance, he pointed out. A great era of development and progress is due to reach the Pacific coast states, Vining said. It will be upon them soon. It will benefit them insofar as they are prepared to take advantage of it. "Bring into being those things which will enable you to enjoy the wonderful prosperity which is about to come. Study the local needs and get your county together—working in harmony so that the problems, each in their turn, can be successfully accomplished. You in Orange county should unite and Cypress store while Mr. La Rue is indisposed. Mrs. Margaret Jensen, who has been employed at the Fullerton hospital for the last several weeks, is at home for a few days. The B. C. Sconce new home, on Walker and Crescent streets, is nearing completion. The Buena Park and Cypress sections are planning a "get-together" dinner to celebrate the opening of Orangethorpe avenue and Walker street, the paving of which has just been completed. Los Alamitos News (By DORA H. MARTIN) G. N. Watts and family are Mr. and Mrs. James Watts were guests on Sunday of Mrs. Mary J. Watts and Mrs. Pearl Gill at Santa Ana. Mrs. George Martin was in Los Angeles Saturday, attending a meeting of the Southern California Matrons' Association. She spent Sunday in Venice with Mr. Martin. Mrs. Estelle Johnson is in the Artesia hospital, seriously ill. Mr. and Mrs. B. Juszkiewicz were in Los Angeles Saturday. The card party held at the clubhouse on Monday evening, under the auspices of the Woman's Club, was an enjoyable affair. On Tuesday evening, Mrs. George N. Watts was elected worthy-matron of Artesia chapter, Order of Eastern Star of Artesia. Other officers elected were Roy Gamble, worthy patron; Mrs. Roy Gamble, associate matron; Mrs. F. L. Norton, secretary; Mrs. W. B. Young, treasurer; Mrs. Clyde Ealey, conductress, and Mrs. Cleve Johnson, associate conductress. The Willing Workers will meet at the auditorium, corner of Green street and the boulevard, on Tuesday, November 16, at 11 o'clock, at which meeting the proceeds earned from the dimes distributed by the club some months ago will be turned in, and the means of earning same will be told. Lunch will be served at noon. J. M. Bowers, a resident of this community for two years, died at the Artesia hospital on Saturday of pneumonia. Merger Effect Big Chain Three Huge Corporate Under One Ship Confirmation of rumors from the transactions are of five million dollars includes 784 retail groc meat markets, six ball activities of a similar size in 10 western states, annual sales of the unpaid to approximate $60 officials of the concern the intention to rapidly present scope and volumen. The merger is seen as the largest gorgery company in the Mississippi. In making the announcement consolidation, heads of involved points have been and are non-competing territory Skaggs chains are around San Francisco, quin and Sacramento fornia, and in most of and towns of the western states, includingington, Idaho, MontanaWyoming, Colorado and far east as Nebraska Stores operate entire California. The reason for the by the heads of the diff is to further a far-reward effecting greater food distribution by organization sufficient A great era of development and progress is due to reach the Pacific coast states, Vining said. It will be upon them soon. It will benefit them insofar as they are prepared to take advantage of it. "Bring into being those things which will enable you to enjoy the wonderful prosperity which is about to come. Study the local needs and get your county together—working in harmony so that the problems, each in their turn, can be successfully accomplished. You in Orange county should unite and develop your harbor; you will have need of it. You will have ample use for it. It will be an asset. There are not too many harbors on the Pacific coast." "The Pacific ocean is to be the theater of the world's greatest events, and you can advantage yourselves and Orange county by uniting on this question and starting your plans for development. Then keep on working together on other county questions and you and Orange county will grow and prosper." Cypress Notes (By W. C. MILLER) Chicken thieves have commenced operating in this section again. Sunday night, C. E. Wilcox, on investigating a disturbance in his chicken yard, routed a couple of prowlers before he could secure his guh. They had entered a waiting car and were speeding down Lincoln avenue. Mr. Wilcox took three shots at the fleeing machine with a 44-70. If he had hit his mark, there surely would have been a chicken rustler short. Tuesday evening M. M. Carpenter took a couple of shots in the dark as his coop was being disturbed. The poultrymen are up in arms, and if a thief is caught, he surely will receive a warm reception. This community has been left alone since M. C. Chase wounded a man some two years ago in his chicken yard. After a considerable time in the hospital, the man was sent to his home in Arizona. Most of the poultrymen feel that if the courts will not punish thieves properly, they will have to protect themselves. Saturday afternoon late, Mrs. J. W. Fuquay, while turning into her driveway on Lincoln avenue, was ran into by S. J. Yull, driving a Dodge roadster. Mr. Yull failed to see the Fuquay machine and was traveling at a good rate of speed. His machine struck the Fuquay Packard sedan on the right front wheel, whirling the Packard around and sending it through the yard fence, across the lawn and into the house. Mrs. Fuquay's left arm was fractured and Mr. Yull was badly shaken up. The Dodge was badly jammed, and the Packard engine and frame was twisted and broken. Mrs. Fuquay is one of the oldest residents of this section. Mr. Yull is general foreman of the Standard Oil Company at Santa Fe Springs. Advocates Expansion Of Experiment Station If the ideas of Dr. H. J. Webber, director of the citrus experiment station, as voiced in his recent address at the meeting of the County Chamber of Commerce, are carried out, that institution may soon be known as the California experiment station. Dr Webber suggested the importance of enlarging the work of the institution and making it much more than a station for the study of the problems of the citrus industry. As a matter of fact, much attention has already been given to the walnut industry and to the study of soil conditions on a scale much broader than their relation to the growing of citrus fruits. Mr. Webber suggested that the station is admirably located for the study of avocados, dates, deciduous fruit, cotton, alfalfa, vegetables, berries, grain grown under "dry farming" conditions and of the poultry and rabbit industries. He stated, moreover, that the station experts are frequently asked to take up the study of some of these problems, but at present they have not the authority or the force to meet these requests. The field of research as related to all the products listed above and others is a wide one, and if the station fills the place it ought to in the development of the agricultural interests of the state, the scope of its activities ought to be enlarged. The legislature meets soon and we are to have a governor who is deeply interested in the problems of agriculture. The time is certainly opportune to change the name of the station and to make a beginning on a program of activity that would make it one of the most famous experiment stations in the world. In its restricted field it is that now; and scores of experts come from all over the world every year to study its work. If, in addition to the great work for citrus fruit and walnuts, the station carried on experiments in all lines of agricultural production, the possibilities for service are tremendous; and it is certain that this greater program would attract hundreds of people to secure information and study the scope of the work. As a concrete suggestion, it has been proposed that the Riverside Chamber of Commerce, at an early date, call a conference to discuss this matter and Norton, secretary; Mrs. W. B. Young, treasurer; Mrs. Clyde Ealey, conductress, and Mrs. Cleve Johnson, associate conductress. The Willing Workers will meet at the auditorium, corner of Green street and the boulevard, on Tuesday, November 16, at 11 o'clock, at which meeting the proceeds earned from the dimes distributed by the club some months ago will be turned in, and the means of earning same will be told.

The Community Club held its regular meeting for November at the club parlorors Tuesday afternoon. The yearly pilgrimage to the county farm was planned. The members will take jams, jellies and magazines to the inmates next Wednesday. The members were treated to a roast beef dinner cooked by the Wearever aluminum demonstrator. The Parent-Teacher Association gave a benefit entertainment at the school hall Friday night. The Royal Company gave a very clever entertainment. About thirty-five dollars was realized. The Parent-Teacher Association has purchased new curtains for the auditorium stage and a new piano. Mrs. G. G., Priddy entertained Saturday evening in honor of Mrs. A. M. Whitacre, who left Sunday for Clarmont, W. Va. Those present were Mrs. A. M. Whitacre, Mr. and Mrs. Wilfred Whitacre and sons, Donald and Roger; James Whitacre, all of Los Angeles, and Mr. and Mrs. Emit Whitacre of Cypress. M. H. La Rue of the Consolidated Ice Company is spending his vacation in Oakland. He left Cypress 3 o'clock Sunday, accompanied by his wife and Mrs. K. H. Day, and arrived in Oakland at 5 o'clock the same day. They will spend two weeks in the northern city. Mr. and Mrs. James Goff and Miss Ruby Melvin of Long Beach were Sunday visitors at the H. La Rue home. H. La Rue, who lost the end of one of the fingers of his left hand, a week ago Sunday, is not improving as rapidly as was expected. He is going to Los Angeles each day now to have his finger attended to. W. C. Miller is assisting in the world. In its r-restricted field it is that now; and scores of experts come here from all over the world every year to study its work. If, in addition to the great work for citrus fruit and walnuts, the station carried on experiments in all lines of agricultural production, the possibilities for service are tremendous; and it is certain that this greater program would attract hundreds of people to secure information and study the scope of the work. As a concrete suggestion, it has been proposed that the Riverside Chamber of Commerce, at an early date, call a conference to discuss this matter and invite it to the members of the legislature from Riverside, San Bernardino, Orange and Imperial counties and others interested. Dr. Webber, it is believed, would welcome such a conference and would be glad to participate. School Head Asks Changes in Laws Culminating a four years' feud between Will C. Wood, state superintendent of schools, and Gov. Friend W. Richardson over state educational policies, Wood submitted to the governor his legislative recommendations to the 1927 legislature. Heading the list is a request for strict definition of the duties and powers of the state board of education and the superintendent of public instruction. This is the first step, it is understood, toward the proposed law, making the board members elective instead of appointive, preventing future clashes between the governor and school superintendent. Other recommendations included the following: Creation of state division of school planning; co-operative purchasing of school supplies; modification of laws limiting the hours a pupil may be kept in school; six-day instead of five-day week for junior colleges; increased salaries to county school superintendents; sale of property now used for the state school for the deaf, and re-location of the school on a site in Alameda county; creation of a state curriculum commission and codification of the school law of California.

B. Skaggs, president of Skaggs United Stores Company; L. L. Skaggs, president of Skaggs Cash Stores Company, and W. R. H. Weldon, president of the Safeway Stores, Incorporated, of the successful completion of negotiations and the merging of the three big chains into one system, effective as of July 1, 1926. Net assets of the concerns involved in the transactions are given as in excess of five million dollars and the deal includes 784 retail grocery stores, 122 meat markets, six bakeries and other activities of a similar nature, operating in 10 western states. Estimated total annual sales of the units involved are said to approximate $60,000,000, and the officials of the concern state that it is intention to rapidly extend the present scope and volume of the business. The merger is said to make this the largest gorcery concern operating west of the Mississippi river. In making the announcement of the consolidation, heads of the concerns involved pointed out that the three chains have been and are now operating in non-competing territory. The two Skaggs chains are located in and around San Francisco, in the San Joaquin and Sacramento valleys, in California, and in most of the larger cities and towns of the other nine northwestern states, including Oregon, Washington, Idaho, Montana, Utah, Nevada, Wyoming, Colorado and extending as far east as Nebraska. The Safeway Stores operate entirely in Southern California. The reason for the merger, as given by the heads of the different companies, is to further a far-reaching effort toward effecting greater economies in food distribution by assuring to one organization sufficient volume to war- ANAHEIM GAZETTE Another Big Borax Find in California In these days, when many people are saying that the "old-prospector" is a relic of the past and that we can get along without him, it is well to be reminded that he is still a useful member of the mining fraternity. It was the keen eye of a prospector a few years ago that noticed a 3-foot exposure of light-colored shale in a gulch otherwise strewn with gravel and boulders, north of Red Mountain, near the little settlement of Shoshone, in Amargosa valley. He was looking on the east side of the valley for a deposit of so-called "fuller's earth," or bentonite, such as is found in the lake beds on the west side near the same place. On closer inspection, he discovered embedded in the shale a few small lumps of crystalline material which proved to borax. This deposit was bought by the Pacific Coast Borax Company soon after its discovery and is now being actively mined. The ore body has proved to be unusually large and rich. This mine was visited in November, 1924, by L. F. Noble, a geologist of the United States geological survey, who was given an opportunity to view the workings and examine the deposit. His brief report, which includes also an account of the general geologic features of the neighboring region, has just been published as Bulletin 785-D.

It was ordered that a certain assessment, assessed to the Irvine Company, be cancelled for reason that the property belongs to the City of Newport Beach. It was ordered that a certain assessment, assessed to Archie D. Gorton, be cancelled. It was ordered that certain assessments on certain property in Orange county be cancelled. It was ordered that two lights be installed in Buena Park, as per recommendation of the Chamber of Commerce of Buena Park. Map tract No. 795 was accepted by the board and the same accepted as the official plotting of said tract. No streets accepted. The county auditor was ordered and directed to draw warrants for election officers, rent for polling places and fees for delivering returns, as set forth in the certified list presented by the county clerk. Hearing of the petition of H. A. Gardner, et al., was continued to November 23, 1926, at 10 a.m. A resolution was regularly adopted, giving notice of a special election for the issuance of $650,000 of bonds of the county of Orange, state of California, for the further improvement, development and protection of Newport harbor, and appointing the election officers for said election. The concrete bridge across Aliso creek around San Francisco, in the San Joaquin and Sacramento valleys, in California, and in most of the larger cities and towns of the other nine northwestern states, including Oregon, Washington, Idaho, Montana, Utah, Nevada, Wyoming, Colorado and extending as far east as Nebraska. The Safeway Stores operate entirely in Southern California. The reason for the merger, as given by the heads of the different companies, is to further a far-reaching effort toward effecting greater economies in food distribution by assuring to one organization sufficient volume to warrant such consolidation of manufacture and warehousing as might otherwise be unattainable. Officials of the concern pointed out that, simply as a matter of good business, the benefits of all such economies will be passed on to the consumer as they are realized. According to the announcement, no change in personnel of the concerns involved is contemplated. M. B. Skaggs is president of the consolidated companies, and L. L. Skaggs and Edward Dale will continue to act as directing heads of merchandising operations, while W. R. H. Weldon will assist in the financing and the formulating of policies. Edward M. Selby of Los Angeles and W. R. Griswold of Oakland are the attorneys for the new concern. Some Fellows look around at their neighbors' houses to help them decide which is the best shingle for re-roofing their own. Before you look let us give you a list of your neighbors who have re-roofed for the last time with Johns-Manville Rigid Asbestos Shingles. Famous Old Mine Yields Road Material Rock from the old Mariposa mine, near the town of Mariposa, will be used by the California highway commission to surface a portion of the Yosemite lateral. It is announced at its offices here. The commission has entered into an agreement with the owners of the property to install a crusher at the mine dump for the production of surfacing material. The spreading of the rock on the highway from Mormon Bar, famous gold diggings of the days of '49, to the first crossing of Bear creek, will be done by Chester A. Falling of Tres Pinos, who has been awarded the contract on a bid of $23,600, payable from the maintenance funds. The Mariposa mine was one of the rich properties of early days. If figured in much litigation which gave to California some of its leading cases on mining law, it has not been worked in recent years, but engineers of the California highway commission, after a careful examination of the mine dump, pronounced the rock excellent for surfacing material. It will now be used to improve the Yosemite all-year highway for winter traffic. Now that the election is over and the football championships will soon be decided, we expect before long to get our mind clear for the early Christmas shopping.
