Delinquent Tax List Shows Big Increase Two Hundred More in County Than Last Year Half of a printed page, measured in newspaper space, represents the increase in the size of the delinquent tax list this year as compared to last year, according to the rough estimate of County Tax Collector J. C. Lamb. The extra half page constitutes a rather small proportion of the entire list, both in space and number of delinquent parcels, Lamb states. It represents about 200 more delinquent parcels than last year. The increase means more new population of the investing class rather than less prosperity, as might appear at first blush, the tax collector states. Lamb ages nothing alarming in the longer delinquent list, and he points to the annual sale of property for taxes, as indicating how little meaning may be attached to the delinquent tax list anyway. When it comes to actually letting property go for taxes, that isn't being done to any visible extent in Orange county, he says. This year's list of property to be sold at auction for non-payment of taxes, which was itself somewhat longer than usual, amounted to but 20 pieces. As a matter of fact, the length of the delinquent tax list this year, according to Lamb, is due to the fact of numerous new subdivisions and the influx of eastern investors in property. Real estate development, the collector says, is accompanied by a certain amount of delay or misunderstanding or neglect that prevents the tax bill from reaching the hands of the person supposed to pay it. This is most frequent, he says, in the cases of contract purchasers, who must pay taxes on the real estate they purchase, but who do not appear as record owners. The record owners fail to forward the tax bill to the contract owner, and the latter is not reminded of his taxes until he learns that his property is on the delinquent list. In many cases, transplanted easterners who have purchased homes or ranches in this county are not familiar with Buena Park Notes (By Mrs. J. P. ROBISON) Mr. and Mrs. G. E.

This summer there will be an exodus to the highways that never has been equaled in the history of Pacific coast motordom. From North to Southland, from East to West the roads will be thronged with automobile parties out to see the sights. Auto camp owners and hotel proprietors believe that 50 per cent more motor tourists will take to the road this summer than last year, which was the banner season to date. With the highways constantly being improved and with automobiles now almost as reliable as was Old Dobblin, an increasingly large part of all passenger travel is being carried in motor cars. It seems certain that in a few years a material portion of transcontinental journeys will be by automobile. Already an automobile trip to Chicago or New York is no novelty. It can be made in reasonably good time, with fair comfort, and at an expense about equal to the railroad journey. When the cost-to-coast roads are paved—and they will be within a comparatively short time, an automobile journey to New York can be completed in a week and with no more discomfort than is experienced in a Pullman car. Automobile travel has played a large part in broadening the vision of the American people. Twenty-thirty-four years ago, it was not uncommon for a man or woman to be born, to live, and to die in a town without having been more than a few miles distant from the community. No wonder a large part of the population was hopelessly provincial and narrow-minded. Now such persons are in the minority. The automobile has provided a cheap and convenient means of transportation that has enabled persons of limited means to travel as extensively as did people of wealth three decades ago.

CORY, Assistant Farm Advisor There were 652 cows tested, producing an average of 972 pounds of milk and 35.1 pounds of butterfat for the month. This is an average of 16 pounds more milk per cow for the month and one pound of butterfat less than for the preceding month. The average test was 3.61 per cent. Fourteen cows were culled out as being unprofitable producers. The H. L. Wakeham herd had the high cow, with a production of 93.8 pounds of butterfat, as well as the five high cows, with a total production of 357.8 pounds of butterfat. Otto Folkerets owned the second high five cows, with a total production of 332.8 pounds of butterfat. In addition to the high cow in the Wakeham herd, the following had cows producing over 70 pounds of butterfat for the month: George Soeste, 83.8 pounds; Harry Woodward, 74.7 pounds; E. A. Wakeham, 71 pounds, and David Giddings, 70.4 pounds. The Otto Folkeret's herd had the high herd average, with 46.3 pounds of butterfat. The low herd average was 39.6 pounds of butterfat, thus making a difference of 15.7 pounds of butterfat per cow for the month between the high and low averages.

Mention alre articles printed Dale Bumstead east of Phoenix acre project w city called Talu County Fair Will Surpass All Others Preparations for the 1927 Orange County Fair are being started this week, it was announced by J. R. Hunt, manager. Fair work this year is far in advance of the work last year, Hunt stated. More than 50 per cent of the advertising space in the commercial display tent was reserved last year for this season, and many new exhibitors already have taken space this year, according to Hunt, who urged immediate reservations by business men who wished to exhibit at the fair. Ticket sales have been started in several communities. Several towns, including Pomona, San Bernardino, Orange, Santa Ana, and Garden Grove, already have chosen subjects for their feature exhibits. Hunt expects this year's feature exhibits to surpass all previous exhibits in the county. Interest is added for the exhibitors this year, as the premium list has been increased by about $2000. Hunt declared. All attendance records are expected to be broken this year. The opening day of the fair last year broke all previous records, and Thursday, September 9, 1926, was the biggest day in the history of the fair, according to Hunt. The fair will open this year on September 5. Now the Italian fascist are talking about going bare-headed all the time. If they put this into general practice, think what suffering it may cause among the hotel hat checkers. Damage Suit Settled Out of Court for $6000 The $100,000 damage suit brought on account of the murder of Carl Kaufmann, young Santa Ana manufacturer, was settled out of court for $6000. Three months after his escape from a sanitarium, Holbert shot Kaufmann with a rifle when Kaufmann passed him on East First street, Santa Ana. December 17, 1925. The damage suit has been in court for more than a year, having been filed February 18, 1926. It was brought by Mrs. Kaufmann on behalf of herself and her three children, against the C.C.Manger Corporation, owner of the Compton sanitarium, Dr. G.F. Myers and Dr.-F.C.Bishop, both of Los Angeles. Dr. Myers is superintendent of the sanitarium. Legality of Water Act to Be Tested A suit to test the legality of the Metropolitan Water act, passed by the last legislature, has been brought, J.H.

The large acr ANAHEIM GAZETTE Will Make Survey Of Mountain Road Engineers to Plan Highway Over Santa Ana Mountains Under an agreement entered into by supervisors of Riverside and Orange counties at the Mission Inn at Riverside Monday, a preliminary survey is to be made for a road across the Santa Ana mountains by way of the Verdugo potrero. The survey will furnish information showing whether the Verdugo potrero route is feasible. The data will show whether the plan for building a San Juan Capistrano-Elsinore road by way of Seviera canyon should be abandoned. The survey will be made jointly by engineers of the two counties, each county to pay half of the cost. Years ago a narrow road was built through Severs canyon from San Juan Hot Springs to the upper end of Elsinore lake. This road was destroyed by floods. Anitation for re-building the road has been kept up for the past two years, with the advantages of an across-the-mountains road being urged by interests on both sides of the range. Horseback journeys have been taken by reconnaissance parties, with the result that in recent weeks the impression that the Verdugo potrero route was the most feasible of the two suggested routes has come to the front. It was with the hope of securing early action for the building of the best road of the two that a conference was arranged at the Mission Inn Monday evening, Frank A. Miller, master of the inn, was host. He urged action, saying that a highway across the mountains would be of vast benefit to both counties as an attraction to tourists. Inquiry by T. C. Jameson, of Corona, chairman of the Riverside board of supervisors, brought out the fact that no survey of the Verdugo potrero route has yet been made. Nat H. Neff, superintendent of highways of Orange county, said that he believed a survey that would give fairly dependable figures as to the probable cost and feasibility of the road could be made for $1500 or $2000. Because of the factivation in the Salt River valley surrounding Phoenix, the capital, demonstrates what the combination of water, fertile soil and sunshine will do in Arizona, as it has done in California. Paved highways, running past beautiful dairy farms, fields of head lettuce, melons, hog and poultry farms, help to sell that section to the visitor. Some of the wealthiest class of tourists in the United States winter in and around Phoenix, where the hotels and ranches offer every opportunity for life's employment. The past winter season was the best on record, and the Santa Fe handled more tourists and homeseekers into the Salt River valley than ever before. Good rains have been helpful to livestock industry and insure good crops to the farmer this year. Telephone Employes Enjoy Annual Picnic Sports in the afternoon and dancing in the evening featured the annual picnic of The Pacific Telephone and Telegraph Company, held Saturday afternoon and evening, at Orange County park. The yearly affair was attended by more than 300 Orange county employees of the telephone company. The afternoon was taken up with a baseball tournament between teams representing the maintenance, construction, and traffic departments, races for men and women, a free-for-all for men and boys, and a tug-o-war. According to E. S. Morrow, manager of the telephone company, this year's picnic was very successful and well attended. The program was arranged by a committee made up of employees from all departments of the company.

RADIO PROGRAM Announcement was made today that W. M. Cory, assistant farm advisor, would discuss poultry culling over KWTC from 7:15 to 7:30 o'clock Friday night. June 10. Undoubtedly many poultrymen will be interested in the announcement of this program, as the season of the year is approaching when the entire flock should be handled and carefully graded. With pullets developing, more room need be given them and the unprofitable layers disposed of, thus affording more room for the pullets and cutting down on the feed. A Kansas City judge holds that there is no moral turpentine in home brew. Maybe not, but there is apt to be a lot of moral turpentine in it.
