Thirty-four Cars Valencia Oranges Shipped to East
THIRTY-FOUR carloads of Valencia oranges were shipped from Fullerton packing houses during the past week, according to announcements. From indications this number will be greatly exceeded this week, and the season will be in full swing in 10 days.
The Placentia Orange Growers' Association and the Fullerton Mutual Association have not begun operations to date, but, according to officials, the plants will be started the latter part of the week. The American Fruit Company and the C. C. Chapman packing house will begin moving fruit about May 1.
A summary of the reports from the houses which commenced shipments during the past week and of the estimations for this week are:
Fullerton Packing Company, 10 cars shipped, with '25 or 30 cars to be shipped this week.
Endington Fruit Company, six cars shipped, with 15 cars estimated for this week.
One Hundred and Thirty-six Displays Arranged for Industrial Tent; American Legion to Have Full Charge on the Opening Day, May 19; Splendid Program and Good Music Provided Each Day of Show
PRACTICALLY every commodity known on earth has been bought and sold, but it now remains for the California Valencia Orange Show, scheduled to open its doors at Anaheim, May 19, for 10 days, to make a purchase of 3000 yards of "sky."
The sky in this case happens to be Alice blue sateen and is to be used to cover the ceiling to the feature tent in which the Valencia exhibits, are to be displayed. The effect of blue sky is necessary to be obtained at the Valencia show for the interior of the main section to represent a woodland scene; in fact, an enchanted forest, and Alice blue sateen was selected for this purpose by P. G. Alen, of Los Angeles, who was awarded the contract to decorate the show.
Twenty thousand yards of material will be purchased for decorating the entire show, it is reported by Alen. The automobile section walls and ceiling are to be entirely canopied, to form a pleasing background for the beautiful automotive models that are to be carried out in this section, for these colors, according to Alen, will be ideal to bring out the richness of the displays.
In the industrial section, where there are to be 126 displays, a decorative scheme of turquoise, American beauty and orange will be used, and in the main or feature tent pastels will predominate.
The opening day will be American Legion Day, and then in succession, to the close of the show, as follows: The Enchanted Story Book Come to Life Day, when all the characters of make-believe land will parade; Queen Valencia's Court Day, Orange County Day, Plantation Day, Radio Day, Los Angeles County Day, Long Beach Day, Movie Day and Valencia Mardi Gras Day.
The second day of the show is dedicated to the school children of Orange county. Plans are formulating for their coming to the show dressed in characters in fairy tales, or Mother Goose rhymes and staging a colorful story book pageant. This is in keeping with the story book motif of the show and has aroused great enthusiasm among the pupils, as well as having launched a keen competition among schools for the best ideas and characterizations.
The fifth, or Plantation Day, will feature an entertainment program exclusively of colored talent. This will be the very finest that can be obtained, and will embrace all kinds of dancing, singing and music as interpreted by the negro race.
Artists who are known only to their public through the medium of the radio will furnish all the entertainment on a regular basis. It is estimated that they will receive about 3000 yards of "sky."
Law Increases Pay Of County Employees
Government in Orange County Augmented by $38,280
The Orange county government act, which adds a number of deputies to various county office staffs and increases the salaries of other deputies, was signed by Governor Young and became a law Monday.
The act was passed by the legislature eight days ago. Under the law requiring that the governor sign or yeto measures within 10 days after their passage, the time limit would have expired next Wednesday. Had no action been taken by the governor within the 10 days, the act automatically would have become a law, it said, the legislature being still in session.
Assemblyman C. D. Ball of Santa Ana, introduced the county government act in the assembly, where it was passed, later being passed by the senate.
The bill embodied recommendations regarding salary increases and additions of deputies as made by the last county-grand jury.
It provides two additional deputies for the sheriff's office, a deputy and a stenographer for the county clerk's office, a stenographer and investigator for the district attorney's office, and increased funds for extra help during the "rush" periods as follows: Assessor, $8000; tax collector, $4000; auditor, $1000.
As estimated by Auditor W. C. Jerome, the bill involves an increase in the cost of county government administration amounting to about $30,000 per year.
Jerome, who interviewed Governor Young with reference to the act and other bills last week, states that the governor has at hand a chart of every county in the state, showing their costs of government and the expense of their various activities. This chart, it is said, shows that Orange county's cost of government is lower than that of any other county in the state, in proportion to date, but according to officials, the plants will be started the latter part of the week. The American Fruit Company and the C. C. Chapman packing house will begin moving fruit about May 1.
A summary of the reports from the houses which commenced shipments during the past week and of the estimations for this week are:
Fullerton Packing Company, 10 cars shipped, with '25 or 30 cars to be shipped this week.
Endington Fruit Company, six cars shipped, with 15 cars estimated for this week.
Bastanchury Ranch Company, 10 cars shipped, with 15 cars estimated for this week.
W. R. Benchley Company, eight cars shipped, with 20 cars estimated for this week.

The fifth, or Plantation Day, will feature an entertainment program exclusively of colored talent. This will be the very finest that can be obtained, and will embrace all kinds of dancing, singing and music as interpreted by the negro race.
Artists who are known only to their public through the medium of the radio will furnish all the entertainment on Radio Day. This is expected to be a very popular day, because of the thousands who have been charmed by these artists on the air and who will visit the show especially to see them.
Motion picture stars of Hollywood will appear in person at the show on Movie Day and furnish a program of entertainment. Some of the best known in the profession are expected to be there.
Queen Valencia's day will be the signal for a gala celebration. She will sit in state that day in the "throne room," where are assembled her golden subjects, the Valencias, and will be lavishly entertained by her malds and knights in waiting. There will be songs, dancing, music and other features worthy of a queen's consideration. Queen Valencia will be selected at Orange, May 3 and 4, when the Orange high school stages ceremonies in the plaza for that purpose, and other high school students, selected as court attendants, render a program of entertainment for her.
The show will close with Valencia Mardi Gras night, when visitors will come dressed as characters in fairy tales or nursery rhymes and, after a parade, prizes will be awarded for the best characterizations.
Medals are to be awarded to motorists in Great Britain for careful driving, it is said. The contest is open to all drivers employed by, or who are subscribers to the National Safety First Association. A silver medal will be given to the driver who for five consecutive years is free from accidents caused by his own carelessness, and ten years of such driving will win a gold medal.
As estimated by Auditor W. C. Jerome, the bill involves an increase in the cost of county government administration amounting to about $30,000 per year.
Jerome, who interviewed Governor Young with reference to the act and other bills last week, states that the governor has at hand a chart of every county in the state, showing their costs of government and the expense of their various activities. This chart, it is said, shows that Orange county's cost of government is lower than that of any other county in the state, in proportion to population and assessed valuation of property.
Two other bills introduced by Assemblyman Ball of direct concern to Orange county also were signed by Governor Young. One of these porvides an assistant probation officer at $200 a month and increases the salary of two other assistants from $75 to $100 a month.
The other increases the salary of the Orange county horticultural commissioner from $4200 to $4800, adds a deputy at $3000 and fixes an appropriation for inspectors at $35,280.

Anaheim Mexican Faces Prison for Carrying Weapon
IF A. Gonzales, former Anaheim Mexican, is sentenced as sched-Friday, he will be the first person to be sent to prison from Orange county for carrying a concealed weapon, it was said today.
It will be the first time, according to court records, that the law passed several years ago which made it a felony for allens or ex-convicts to carry concealed weapons has been invoked here. The same law provides that no probation can be granted in such cases, so that Gonzales, who has pleaded guilty to the charge, seems destined for San Quentin. The penalty is said to be a term of from one to five years.
When he pleaded guilty Monday, he asked for delay in receiving his sentence. Judge E. J. Marks thereupon set the time for pronouncing judgment at next Friday, 9:30 a.m. Gonzales, a resident of Los Angeles, came to visit his sister at Anaheim when he was arrested, a black-jack being found upon him. He has a wife and several children.
He protested to officers that he had

CAUSE BACK WATER
San Bernardino County, Where Santa Ana River Originates, Has Raised No Objections to a 70-Foot Dam; Objection Is Premature, as Bond Issue May Not Be Authorized by Voters; Legislature the Real Issue
ALTHOUGH San Bernardino county has voiced no opposition to the proposed district bond issue in Orange county for the construction of a dam across the Santa Ana river at Prado, west of Corona, leaders of Riverside county seem greatly concerned because the suggested dam would back the water in the reservoir to such an extent that it might cause damage.
City Engineer George S. Hinckley of Redlands, who is a member of the tri-counties reforestation and water conservation committee, recently declared that he did not believe any opposition would come from San Bernardino county, although the dam would necessitate adoption of a new system for measuring the surplus storm waters to which Orange county irrigators are entitled. At present irrigators in that county are not permitted to draw upon the Santa Ana river except when the surplus waters flow as far as the Chapman avenue bridge, which is on a direct line between the city of Orange and the Orange county hospital. The dam would prevent the surplus flow from reaching the Chapman bridge.
Two of the Riverside supervisors met with the Orange county board several days ago to discuss the matter and present their reasons for objecting to a high dam at the proposed site.
Recent floods washed out a bridge across the Santa Ana river at Auburn-dale, in Riverside county, and the supervisors are now considering plans for a new bridge. But a Prado reservoir, if created by a 70-foot dam, has recommended, would bring a water level within one foot of the bridge floor, as contemplated in plans now before the supervisors, it was said. And to raise the bridge and abutting fills 10 feet higher, as recommended by engineers, would entail a cost of about $50,000, it is said, which Riverside county feels is Orange county's responsibility.
T. C. Jameson, chairman of the board of Riverside county supervisors, contends that the bridge must be replaced soon, as an important traffic route has been crippled by the washout. The location of the bridge could not be moved, as the present one is the only practical approach to the river on at least one side, and paved roads lead to the river on each side. A bridge at the former level would satisfy Riverside county's needs and a higher bridge that would cost more would be required only on Orange county's account. The member stated if Riverside county proceeded to build a bridge at the former level and it should be flooded by an Orange county reservoir, Orange county then would be liable for damage. His contentions were backed by his colleague,
Bankers Will Tour All Parts of County
All Banks in County Will Be Represented on Trip
"A 60-mile tour of the agricultural areas of Orange county is planned by the Orange County Bankers' Association today, according to Frank Was, chairman of the field day committee appointed by M. O. Alsworth, president of the association." "It is expected that all banks in Orange county will be represented by one or more delegates to get an intimate glimpse of the orchard and farm problems of the county," said Mr. Was. We are inviting a number of correspondent banks from Los Angeles and other cities to join us and see our various agricultural industries. J. B. Chaffey, vice-chairman of the California bankers' agricultural committee, will be an interested visitor. We have asked the agricultural extension service of the University of California, represented in this county by the farm advisor's office, to assist in its itinerary for the day."
The 75 or more bankers will form a caravan on Broadway, opposite the court house, at 8:30 a.m., and visit the farm advisor's office. At 9 o'clock sharp, the caravan will start on signal from the motor police escort which will accompany the group through the county all day. The itinerary will include the following stops:
9:10 a.m., Tustin—Meet 40 Junior Agricultural Club members.

been crippled by the washout. The location of the bridge could not be moved, as the present one is the only practical approach to the river on at least one side, and paved roads lead to the river on each side. A bridge at the former level would satisfy Riverside county's needs and a higher bridge that would cost more would be required only on Orange county's account. The member stated if Riverside county proceeded to build a bridge at the former level and it should be flooded by an Orange county reservoir, Orange county then would be liable for damage. His contributions were backed by his colleague, Supervisor J. E. McGregor.
Orange county supervisors realize that the dam may never be built, because it has not yet been authorized. It was explained that passage of the Orange county flood control bill in the state legislature would not necessarily decide whether a dam would be built. On the other hand, if the dam should be built, it would be inconvenient and expensive to find a new bridge in the way, it was admitted.
As a compromise, the Riverside supervisors are seeking estimates on a truss frame bridge that later could be raised if the dam is constructed at Prado. The truss frame bridge then would be originally built at the same height as the wooden structure which was destroyed by the flood.
Meanwhile, water users in San Bernardino county, and especially citrus irrigators in the Redlands district, are anxiously awaiting a decision as to what will be the measuring stick to show when the Orange county irrigators are entitled to the surplus flow of the Santa Ana river.
William Benchley, prominent Fullerton citrus packer, was in Justice K. E. Morrison's court at Santa Ana, charged with violating a state horticultural law which prohibits the moving of fruit boxes from fields infested with mealy bugs to others not so infected. After hearing testimony, which tended to show the fields to which Benchley moved the boxes were more heavily infested with mealy bugs than were the fields from which they were moved, Deputy District Attorney Sam L. Collins moved dismissal of the case. The court complied with the motion.

Fullerton, Tuesday.
The injured men were rushed to the Fullerton General hospital, but the elder Mr. Lampers died before reaching the hospital. The body was taken to the McAuley & Sutner parls, pending an inquest.
Defective steering apparatus on the Lamers truck was responsible for the accident, according to a report to the Fullerton police. Theodore Lamers, who was driving, made an effort to avoid the collision when the wheels turned suddenly, but was not successful. William Lamers fell from the seat as the machines crashed and struck his head on the pavement, his skull being fractured.
The county truck was operated by Arthur R. Geren, of 147 West Ash street, Fullerton. The county machine was being driven south on Raymond and the Lamers machine north at the time of the accident.
The deceased leaves a widow, four sons and five daughters.

Directors of Show Banquet Guests
Over 150 Men From Various Sections Entertained
More than 150 persons—newspaper men, railroad men and business men—were guests of the California Valencia Orange Show directors at a banquet given at the Elks clubhouse Tuesday evening.
Enthusiasm for the show marked the meeting and expressions of newspaper men pledging publicity for the 1927 show, May 19 to 28, warranted declaration by officers that attendance this year would shatter records made by the six exhibits preceding the one scheduled for the latter part of next month.
Newspaper men were enthusiastic in their appreciation of the show as one of the important features having tremendous influence in the promotion of Southern California.
Roy Mack, secretary and manager of the National Orange Show at San Brgnardino, complimented the management upon the theme it has selected for the show this year and pointed out that the two exhibits offered a medium for proper publicizing of the citrus industry of Southern California. He commented on the fact that the exhibits offer a "close up" of the industry for tourists unfamiliar with the details of growing and packing of the golden fruit.
H. E. W. Barnes, president of the Anaheim Chamber of Commerce, and who officiated in an exceptionally clever manner as toastmaster, revealed plans for introduction of an orange packing contest that promises to become a feature that will bring to the show added interest among the thousands of men and women in the citrus districts engaged in packing fruit.
"It will be a contest for the championship of the world," Barnes commented, in announcing that cups had been contributed for the packing house employing the winner, and for champion, and the next strongest competitor.
A reception committee composed of men of various communities in the county received the guests as they arrived at the building and gave them a welcome that at once made them
Taxpayer Brings Suit to Enjoin Auditor From Paying $10,000 of Road Fund to City; C. E. Harbeson, Anaheim Taxpayer, to Present Other Side of Case; Expected to Go to the Appellate Court for Final Decision
THE dispute between the board of supervisors and the city trustees of Santa Ana over the diversion of $10,000 from the road fund toward the paving of Main street in that city will have to be settled by a court decision. When Santa Ana presented its claim for the money the vote was three to two in favor of granting it. Supervisors Finley, Jeffrey and Smith voting for it, and Chairman Schumacher and Supervisor Mitchell opposing it. Schumacher, after the vote was taken, produced a statute book and showed that a four-fifth vote was necessary to transfer county money to a municipality.
This suit is an unusual one, inasmuch as W. E. Chilson, a taxpayer of Santa Ana, who favors the appropriation, has brought suit to enjoin County Auditor W. C. Jerome from paying the money, and C. E. Harbeson, a taxpayer of Anaheim, who opposes the appropriation, is answering his challenge, and has engaged Attorneys Leonard Evans and Tom McFadden to fight Chilson in the court. The matter will come up in Judge Allen's department, but in all likelihood it will be carried up to the court of appeals, as neither party will be satisfied with a superior court decision.
The action is caused by the refusal of Supervisors William Schumacher and John Mitchell to permit payment of the money to Santa Ana for paving work on South Main street. The city previously had been promised the money by a board whose personnel has changed since the promise was made.
Mitchell refused to be bound by the promise of his predecessor. Schumacher was absent in Europe at the time the promise was made, and refuses to be bound by the pledge. This leaves three members of the board in support of the donation. Mitchell and Schumacher contend that a four-fifth vote is needed to allot the money to a municipality. Jerome is understood to hold that a three-fifth vote is all that is required.
What action might be taken by the attorneys retained here is undecided. They received copies of the complaint yesterday.
Supervisor Schumacher declared after having voted against the allocation of the money that he is seeking a "square deal for all cities of the county." He says Santa Ana is not entitled to the money, and is supported by Mitchell of Garden Grove.
The paying work in Santa Ana has been completed and paid for out of county funds. Originally $30,000 was promised the city.

SAN DIEGANS COMING
Supervisor William Schumacher and Ralph McFadden drove to San Diego on Monday and extended an invitation to the board of supervisors of that county to attend the orange show on Los Angeles County Day, when supervisors from all over Southern California will be present as guests of the show in a get-together function which is looked forward to with anticipation of great pleasure. They were hospitably received in the southern city, and were delightfully entertained. The San Diegans accepted the invitation and assured them they would have great pleasure in being in attendance.
