Practically all the merchants, dealers in all kinds of goods, report unusually big business during the past week or two, and they are expecting to be swamped today and tomorrow by the numerous last-minute shoppers who can never determine what they want until the stocks are depleted by the wise early buyers. The children, old and young, who have been marking a day off the calendar for the past several weeks, have almost reached the end, for tomorrow night is Christmas eve, the night that Santa Claus makes his annual pilgrimage to this city.

S Getting Good Prices For Local Oranges Navels Topping Florida Oranges by Two Dollars a Box Regardless of what future weeks hold for southern navel growers, the central and northern California people will have a Merry Christmas and Happy New Year with their navel deal practically over as far as shipments are concerned. According to the sales department of the California Fruit Growers' Exchange, approximately 4250 cars were shipped to December 18. The original estimate of 4500 cars will just about be maintained and remaining cars will move before the holidays, the exchange reports. California navel oranges have enjoyed a wonderful market this year, when other factors in the deal are considered. Commanding a substantial premium over Florida from the start, California Fruit Growers' Exchange orange sales for the week ending December 18 averaged almost $2 per box more than Florida sales, the figures being based on all sales in all auction markets. With both California and Florida making record shipments during December, the relative prices have been a wonderful testimony for the quality and superior consumer demand for the California fruit. Sunkist advertising has built up the preference; and the quality of this season's navels insures continued demand. Orange shipments from California will be much lighter until after January 1 to allow for the normal lull in the movement between holidays. The southern navels will be ready for market and will begin moving in quantity immediately after the first of the year. Lemon shipments continue heavy under a good demand for this time of the year. Prices are only fair, but are in line with averages of previous seasons, according to the exchange. 25 Aliens Apply for Citizenship Papers Judge Ames Has a Busy Day Monday Examining Them Twenty-five persons in Orange county, of foreign birth, appealed to superior court Monday for admission to the United States as citizens.

Cara Big Increase in Telephone Service Anaheim has had 149 new telephones added in its exchange since the first of January, a 6.61 per cent gain, according to C. T. Brown, manager of the Pacific Telephone and Telegraph Company. At present Anaheim has 2249 telephones. "A fact which seldom occurs to the telephone user when he considers the growth of telephone exchange," commented Manager Brown, "is that the larger the exchange becomes, the greater is the service we offer to the subscribers in that exchange. For that reason every one of our subscribers is vitally interested in the growth of the exchange in which he obtains his service." Surprise Party for Dean and Mrs. Bode A surprise party was given by the members of St. Michael's Episcopal church to Dean and Mrs. Bode and family on the fourth anniversary of their coming to Anaheim. The party was held at the residence of Mr. and Mrs. Thomas Lumsdon, on the evening of December 17. During the evening Christmas carols were sung and a reading given by Mrs. Sears. Dean Bode was presented with a Christmas gift from the members of the church by Mr. Lumsdon, and made a little speech of thanks and appreciation of the kindly spirit of Anaheim. The meeting ended with refreshments and "Home Sweet Home." Judge Ames Has a Busy Day Monday Examining Them Twenty-five persons in Orange county, of foreign birth, appealed to superior court Monday for admission to the United States as citizens. Of this number thirteen were from Anaheim. Judge Homer G. Ames and Miss Olive Pixley, federal naturalization examiner, conducted the proceedings by which the 25 candidates hoped to replace their foreign allegiance with the oath to Old Glory. To those who succeeded a welcome awaited in the form of customary ceremonies by a committee of the Daughters of the American Revolution. The class of 25 included 20 men and five women. Twelve members of the class have been studying for their examinations, as members of the Americanization class in the Julia Lathrop school, where the Americanization department of the Santa Ana city schools made special arrangements for aiding their preparations. Tutoring of the candidates has been under the supervision of Miss Helen Walker. Great Britain furnished 11 of the 25 subjects who came before the court today. Four are renouncing Austrian citizenship; two are from Hungary, two from France, two from Holland and one each from Germany, Poland, Sweden and Turkey. Thirteen members of the class are residents of Anaheim and vicinity; six registered from Santa Ana, three from Fullerton, two from the Newport Beach-Balboa district and one from Huntington Beach. Names of the 25 are: Francis H. Miller, 411 South Kroeger street, Anaheim, from Great Britain; William J. Gould, R. D. 4, Santa Ana, from Great Britain; William H.

T. Kirven, who resides west of the Santa Ana river bridge on West Seventeenth, were chloroformed and then stolen Thursday night by two men, while Mrs. Kliven and her daughter watched the thieves from the house. Although the sheriff's office was notified that the men were stealing the chickens, the robbery had been completed and the men had vanished when officers arrived. Late arrival of the officers was due to a mistake in giving or receiving the address over the telephone, it was said. According to Miss Kirven, she and her mother were awakened by a noise from the chicken coops and, peering out the window, they saw two men in the orange grove adjoining. They notified the sheriff's office, Miss Kirven said, and then watched the men steal the chickens. The chickens were carried away in sacks. The chickens were valued at $400 by Miss Kirven. She said that there BOULDER DAM IS ENDORSED BY A. C. OF C.

According to the accepted register of notables, none of the distinguished citizens reside in Santa Ana or Anaheim. The favored six are listed as follows: El Modena, Mrs. Mary McCrea Culter, author; Fullerton, Rev. Graham C. Hunter; Garden Grove, P. M. Magnusson, psychologist; Laguna Beach, Stephen Chalmers and Rev. Edmund M. Mills, and Seal Beach, P. A. Stanton, city builder. In presenting the new volume to the public, the publishers lay emphasis on the fact that "not a single sketch has been paid for—and none can be paid for." The standards of admission divide the eligibles into two classes: first, those who are elected on account of special prominence in creditable lines of effort, making the subjects of intensive interest, inquiry and discussion in this country and second, those who are arbitrarily included on account of official position, civic military naval religious, Anaheim Gets New Manufacturing Firm Perfecto Spray Company Establishing Plant Here A new manufacturing concern for northern-Orange county is the Perfecto Spray Company, which has established a plant in Anaheim, moving to that city from Los Angeles, where it formerly was located. A large increase in the sale of Perfecto spray for citrus groves during the present year in this county is given as the reason for the change of location by W. J. Melville, president and manager of the company. The manufacturing plant is located in the buildings of the Anaheim Investment Company, at the corner of Ball road and Walnut street, about a mile southwest of Anaheim. Here, modern machinery has been installed and the plant now is making the spray to take care of the present market. Melville was for a number of years horticultural commissioner of San Bernardino county and also served in the capacity of state quarantine officer. He is an expert on citrus culture and claims to have developed a spray that has been proven by citrus growers to be highly satisfactory in the control of pests. Thomas McGreary, also of Los Angeles, will be in charge of sales for the company. Sarah Salter, 313 Eleventh street, Huntington Beach, from Great Britain; Gordon M.

Carandanis, 107 South Measure Certain to Pass Both Houses and Become a Law at This Session of Congress; Orange County Will Be Irrigated by Water From the Colorado; Southern California Will Benefit by the Project ALMOST simultaneously with the adoption of a resolution approving the Boulder canyon dam proposition by the Orange County Associated Chambers of Commerce, the House committee in Washington reported favorably on the Swing-Johnson bill by a vote of 12 to 3. It is now practically certain that the bill will soon become a law, and the millions of tons of water now flowing down the Colorado river into the ocean will be bottled up and used for irrigation purposes throughout all of Southern California. Orange county will doubtedly get its share, and it will relieve the overworked wells and solve the water problem. But it will be a long time before the great dam is built and the water made available. The Boulder dam and its importance to the Southland were discussed by members of the Associated Chambers of Commerce Thursday night, at the monthly meeting, held in the Westminster Odd Fellows hall. J. Hunter Clark, executive assistant to the chief electrical engineer and general manager of the bureau of light and power of the city of Los Angeles, outlined the potentialities of the dam and the needs which it would satisfy in Southern California. The 600 foot dam, as proposed, would form a lake 80 miles long, containing enough water to cover 1,000,000 acres to a depth of 30 feet. he said. The dam would answer four predominant questions which must be answered by residents of the southern section of California, he said. These, as outlined by Clark, are flood control; water conservation, silt and the problem of water flowing through Mexican territory for a part of its distance. Electrical power which cannot be supplied from the present sources will be necessary in 10 years. stated Clark. Only by harnessing the Colorado at Boulder canyon can the 1,000,000 additional horsepower, which will be needed in 1935, be obtained. he said. The development of so much horsepower will pay all costs of upkeep and repay the cost of the initial investment within 50 years, according to Clark. The problem of silt in the river, which is credited with being one-sixth of the total flow, will be met in several ways. Arizona is said to be planning to utilize three tributary rivers, the Little Colorado, the Williams and the Gila rivers, which carry the greatest volume of silt into the main stream. Several supplementary dams along the upper reaches of the river would stop the flood rush of the stream and thus diminish the silt content. A gigantic suctionway would be provided in the dam for sluicing the silt from behind the dam, should it ever prove troublesome. It was estimated by Clark that not Noted Lecturer Talks to Kiwanis Y. M. C. A. Secretary in China Tells of Situation There C. H. Robertson, for the past twenty years American Y. M. C. A. secretary engaged in mission work in China, was the speaker at the Kiwanis lunchon Tuesday. Mr. Robertson is visiting his home folk in this county but instead of taking a rest, he is occupying his vacation days by doing missionary work for the benefit of China. He is intimately acquainted with affairs in the Celestial empire, and told the members of the club many things that were new to them. Frank N. Gibbs was chairman for the day, and a splendid musical program was rendered, including violin solos by Alan Rains, accompanied by Miss Ramona Mulligan at the plano. Chinese students claim that the western nations are attempting to make slaves of their people and that unwelcome treaties forced upon the Chinese nation are responsible for much of the unrest and turmoil there today. Mr. Robertson declared. He said that China can teach the United States much that would benefit its civilization and perhaps much more than this nation can teach China. Superstition is as prevalent here as in the Orient, he asserted. "China surpasses' the western ations in many phases of development and is surpassed by them mainly only in the power of the western peoples to master the forces of nature." "The present troubled condition in China began May 30, 1925, with the murder of five Chinese students. Within a week, 175,000 civil employees were on strike against foreign influence." "Few people realize the tremendous importance of China and its 400,000,000 people. The leaders of that country are deeply interested in science and education. The country is at this moment in the act of leaping from the tenth to twentieth century." supervisors had granted the advertising chairman, Dr. F. W. Slabaugh,$20,000 for advertising purposes in 1927.

A. Wilkes, while walking along Jefferson avenue, near Olive, last July 15, were made the basis of a suit for $8230 damages. Just filed in superior court. Beckman claims that his collar bone was broken, his scalp torn and his right shoulder sprained. The problem of silt in the river, which is credited with being one-sixth of the total flow, will be met in several ways. Arizona is said to be planning to utilize three tributary rivers, the Little Colorado, the Williams and the Gila rivers, which carry the greatest volume of silt into the main stream. Several supplementary dams along the upper reaches of the river would stop the flood rush of the stream and thus diminish the silt content. A gigantic suctionway would be provided in the dam for sluicing the silt from behind the dam, should it ever prove troublesome. It was estimated by Clark that not within 300 years would the silt become so evident behind the dam as to require serious consideration. Clark pointed out that with 180,000 acres in Orange county without sufficient irrigation at present because of the growing demands made on the supply by urban populations, the county will be vitally interested in getting a share of domestic water through a proposed aqueduct to relieve the present situation. Approximately 1,095,000 cubic feet of water can be brought through an aqueduct, said the speaker. This, with the present supply, will be great enough to care for 10,000,000 people. Clark presented a one reel film of the dam site. Colorado river currents and overflow territory, to illustrate his talk. Following Clarke's talk, it was announced by George Raymer, secretary of the Associated Chambers, that C. W. Clegg, excursion superintendent for the Boulder Dam Association, would conduct a party from Orange county over the field in February. John W. Scott, official of the Boulder Dam Association, voiced an appeal for a letter writing campaign to eastern persons, telling of the dam and the need for it. Predominant among the matters of business taken up by the association, following the address of the evening, was the matter of a county planning commission, as proposed by V. D. Johnson of Orange. Secretary of county chambers of commerce were authorized to work out a program, to be submitted to the county supervisors. Johnson also reported that the county China began May 30, 1925, with the murder of five Chinese students. Within a week, 175,000 civil employees were on strike against foreign influence. "Few people realize the tremendous importance of China and its 400,000,000 people. The leaders of that country are deeply interested in science and education. The country is at this moment in the act of leaping from the tenth to twentieth century." supervisors had granted the advertising chairman, Dr. F. W. Slabaugh, $20,000 for advertising purposes in 1927. The matter of a centrallocated junior college was referred to the education committee. Indications that further action will be taken by Newport Beach and other interested communities to secure a harbor were seen in the talks by Lew Wallace and Harry Welch of Newport. "Boulder dam has had many stumbling blocks and is yet talked of as a possibility. Newport harbor is encountering obstacles, but we have just begun to fight," Welch said. Possibility that Orange county may have a museum and amphitheater, located in Orange County park, was seen in the introduction of a resolution by Mrs. E. G. Summers, asking the cooperation of the county in such an enterprise. At 6:30 dinner was served by the Women's Club of Westminster. Six Huntington Beach high school girls entertained with vocal selections. The next meeting will be held in Orange, on January 27. Dr. Walter Blakely, 49, resident of Anaheim for the last five years, died in his home, 1000 West Broadway, Sunday night, following an illness of four months. Funeral services were held Tuesday afternoon, in the Todd & Reeves parlors, Pomona. Dr. Blakely is survived by his widow and three children, Mrs. Richard Crawford, Winfred Blakely and Walter Jr., all of Anaheim. Dr. Blakely moved to Anaheim from Pomona. He came to California from Grafton, N. D. He was a member of the Masonic fraternity. NEWPORT RECOVERS PROPERTY FORMERLY DEEDED TO COUNTY Supervisors Return Frontage to City, Which Is Preparing to Vote Half Million Dollars in Bonds for Harbor Improvement GIVING up all hope of getting aid from the county in constructing a harbor at Newport Beach, the citizens of that town are now purposing to do it themselves. A proposition to bond the city for $500,000 for the purpose of improving the entrance to the bay is on foot: It has been estimated that the total valuation of the city is $12,000,000, and that its present bonded indebtedness is $724,000. The law therefore permits an additional bond issue of half a million dollars, and the enterprising and ambitious citizens are going to vote it.

Hagan, and knocking over an oil stove in the rear of the building, damaged the interior of the drug store to the extent of $1000, according to a report filed with the sheriff's office. Investigation made by Ed McClellan, chief criminal deputy sheriff, and Deputy Sheriff Jimmy Smith, disclosed that Hagan was alone in his store, shortly before 7 o'clock, when two men, both Mexicans, walked into the place and covered him with a pistol, held in the hands of the smaller of the two men. "We want your money, where is it?" the man with the gun asked. Hagan pointed to the till, and, while he was covered by the smaller of the two Mexicans, the other, who was masked, walked to the cash register and took it, taking $12 in money. Apparently dissatisfied with the loot, the small bandit asked for more money. He was told there was no more. He then switched the pistol from his right hand to his left hand, and struck Hagan in the mouth, knocking out several front teeth, according to officers. The blow staggered Hagan. The Mexicans then ran toward the back door and in doing so, overturned the oil stove. Hagan reported that the fire quickly spread throughout the interior, damaging the building considerably before the flames could be extinguished. Congressman Swing Sends Us Bulletins Literature on Nematode Menace Sent to This Office Under date of December 17, Congressman Phil D. Swing writes us as follows from Washington: "Editor Anahelm Gazette:—I read some time ago an interesting article in your paper referring to the nematode menace in Orange county. "I recalled the fact that the United State Department of Agriculture had issued a bulletin relating to this subject, and I am taking the liberty of sending you about fifty copies, so that if you see fit you can run a notice in your paper that you have these bulletins on hand and will mail them to such of your readers as may request them. I am sending them to you in of the city is $12,000,000, and that its present bonded indebtedness is $724,000. The law therefore permits an additional bond issue of half a million dollars, and the enterprising and ambitious citizens are going to vote it. The county supervisors Tuesday voted to deed 7400 feet of county frontage on Newport harbor to the city of Newport Beach, returning a "gift" that had been made by the city on the presumption that the county would develop the harbor. Actual return of the tideland hinges upon the condition that the city of Newport Beach vote $500,000 bonds for construction of two jetties at the harbor entrance. a proposal which the county rejected at the bond election of December 14. The supervisors did not hesitate when the request for return of the harbor frontage was made. They conceded the justice of the argument presented by a Newport Beach committee. to the effect that, since the county had received the property from the city in the first place on the presumption that the county would vote bonds for harbor development. it was only just that the city should recover the acreage, now that the county has refused to vote the bonds. "We are going to do the job ourselves, and it is right that we should have this land to aid us," the committee told the supervisors. Lew H. Wallace, Newport banker; Harry Welch and Clyde Bishop, city attorney, headed the committee, which was appointed by the Newport Beach city council, coincident with action toward a $500,000 city bond issue. Bishop said that the first legal step toward the bond issue would be taken January 3, and that the bonds probably would be voted by March 1. The only doubt entertained regarding the bonds, he said, is the difficulty that might be encountered finding a suitable market for them. The city is still $1,000,000 away from its bonding limit, however, he said. "Newport Beach has been hit on the nose by this county bond election," said the attorney, "and we have come up fighting and cussing and are going to do this job ourselves. And I want to say that, after we do it, the county will come knocking at our door, instead of forcing us to knock at the county's doors. I only hope that some of you have lots down there that we can tax until you have to give them up," he concluded in genial tone. Wallace suggested that the county condition its deed upon the success of the city bond election, and that the deed be placed in escrow, for delivery to the city when the bonds are voted. The suggestion was adopted by the board. The areas in question were excluded from the city about two years ago by disincorporation. at the suggestion of the Committee of Fifty, appointed by the county supervisors in connection with a harbor program. The committee, it was stated, suggested that the city thus relinquish the frontage to man Phil D. Swing writes us as follows from Washington: "Editor Anahelm Gazette:—I read some time ago an interesting article in your paper referring to the nematode menace in Orange county.

I am sending them to you in franked envelopes ready for mailing, except for the address. "With best personal regards and best wishes, I am "Sincerely, "PHIL D. SWING." Agricultural Clubs Being Organized Agricultural club work, which has been so successful in Orange county during the past year, is being reorganized and new contests started for the coming year. This work was comparatively new in the county in 1926, consequently every step had to be explained in detail to club members and local leaders. This naturally slowed up the organization work, so that no contests got under way until about March 1. As reorganization gets under way for 1927, we find the work much easier, as many of the former members are signing up, as well as telling others about the clubs. With a little more than two weeks' work having been done to date, we find that approximately 100 members have signed up for 1927, about 60 per cent of them being holdovers from 1926. All of the work done so far for 1927 has been in districts in which club work was done during 1926. An increased enrollment is being encountered in all of these districts. A notable example of this is at the Alamitos school, where twelve boys and girls were enrolled in 1926, there are twenty signed up at present for 1927. As a result of the influence from Wallace suggested that the county condition its deed upon the success of the city bond election, and that the deed be placed in escrow, for delivery to the city when the bonds are voted. The suggestion was adopted by the board. The areas in question were excluded from the city about two years ago by disincorporation, at the suggestion of the Committee of Fifty, appointed by the county supervisors in connection with a harbor program. The committee, it was stated, suggested that the city thus relinquish the frontage to the county, as an aid in securing passage of a county bond issue. One strip of 2000 feet frontage, located west of the channel to the upper bay, includes nearly 20 acres. The other is a 40-acre piece, situated opposite Balboa island, and having a frontage of about 45 feet. G. A. R. to Install Chiefs January 17 Installation of officers elected Monday by Malvern Hill post. G. A. R., will be held jointly with the Daughters of Veterans January 17, according to plans announced Tuesday. James H. Enearl is the new post commander; Juan de la Guerra is senior vice-commander; John Nichols, Junior vice-commander; the Rev. L. H. Mears, chaplain; Dr. D. W. Hasson, surgeon; Jason B.

A luncheon was served by the Daughters of Veterans, preceding the post meeting in the Odd Fellows' hall Monday. the clubs and contests conducted in 1926, several new districts have asked that the work be started there in 1927. These will be cared for as rapidly as possible after the older clubs have been reorganized.
