GROWTH OF ANAHEIM Total for 1910 was... 2,268 Total for 1920 was... 5,525 Today estimated at...12,000 VOLUME LVII YEAR'S CITRUS CR CITRUS GROWERS GET HEAVY RETURNS ORANGE COUNTY'S CROP UNPRECEDENTED IN THE INDUSTRY'S HISTORY Shipments This Season Will Bring Into County $25,000,-000; Northern and Southern Exchanges Share Evenly in This Juicy Melon; Nearly Fifteen Million Dollars Received Up to September 1 Anaheim Orange Shipped to Europe And Returns Here ACROSS the Atlantic and back again and still good to eat, is the record of a Valencia orange now on display at the office of the Anaheim Co-operative Orange Association, the Mutual Orange Distributors' packing house here. The orange, still in its original paper covering, a wrapper put on it in the Anaheim packing house nearly three months ago, shows little effect of its varied wanderings since that time, thought it has visited Edinburgh, Scotland; Canada, and been carried in a suitcase clear across the United States. The orange was received at the local packing house early last week from D. J. Macpherson of 1120 Atchison street, Pasadena, who writes that he purchased the orange, with another like it, in Edinburgh on July 15, last, while on a trip to Scotland, from which he has just returned. Mr Macpherson comments that ORANGE COUNTY'S CROP UNPRECEDENTED IN THE INDUSTRY'S HISTORY Shipments This Season Will Bring Into County $25,000,-000; Northern and Southern Exchanges Share Evenly in This Juicy Melon; Nearly Fifteen Million Dollars Received Up to September 1 SOUTHERN CALIFORNIA'S greatest citrus year will see Orange county growers receiving higher prices than ever before, figures released by the Northern Orange County Fruit Exchange and the Orange County Fruit Exchange indicate. Sales of Orange county fruit to the first instant through the two exchange organizations total $14,684,326.51. Sales since the first of the month for the two organizations have passed the $1,500,000 mark. With two months of the present season left and a larger shipment of fruit scheduled with high prices being obtained, citrus officials predict that the total returns to those concerned in the citrus harvest of this county will aggregate $25,000,000. Each of the two exchange organizations is aiming for a $10,000,000 goal in returns to the growers. Independent houses in the county are expected to report a total return to their growers of nearly $5,000,000 when the season is completed. Figures for the Orange County Fruit Exchange have been compiled to the end of August, estimates being given for the remainder of the season. Figures released from the Northern Orange County Fruit Exchange were tabulated up to date. According to Dale R. King, manager, sales for September are $703,-825 for this organization. Sales previous to this month in the Northern Orange County Fruit Exchange amounted to $7,799,326, according to L. D. Palmer, manager. For September, last year, the Northern Orange County Fruit Exchange did $554,338.10 worth of business to September 15. The exchange estimates the total sales for this month will be $1,500,000, as against $1,206,521.70 for last September, according to Manager King. August was the record month of the year for the Northern Orange County Fruit Exchange, $2,098,000 in returns being reported. The Orange County Fruit Exchange did a business of similar proportions. Shipment for the remainder of the season will be higher for both oranges and lemons, but higher prices are being received, it is said. Best quality Valencias are bringing from $6 to $6.50 on the market, it is reported. Higher prices are also being received for lemons, a new record being hung up last Thursday. Tustin Becomes Sixth Class City Bailey Confronted By Huge Problem Explains Act Creating Orange County Flood District Lack of information concerning the Orange county flood control district, its purposes, powers and organization, is so universal among citizens of the county, according to Paul Bailey, district engineer, that he was moved to call attention to provision of the legal enactment under which the district was created. Bailey explained that he has found, since taking up his duties as engineer for the flood control district, that surprisingly few citizens understand the process by which Orange county expects to achieve its goal of conserving a water supply. They know that the district has been organized for that purpose, but at that point their knowledge ends, he says. On the theory that "understanding promotes harmony," Bailey believes that the taxpayers should know just how the job is to be done. For that reason, he stated, he was pleased when the county supervisors last week appointed an advisory committee of citizens to participate in the flood control program. At that time he announced himself in favor of reporting developments, step by step, to the public. But, to better understand the meaning of the steps to be taken later, the public should first understand the legal guide for such steps, as represented by the act of the legislature creating the district, he states. The full text of the act is not required to give the people necessary information. Excerpts from its chief provisions only are necessary, said Bailey. Many sections of the act relate to minor technical details of describing how the main steps are to be taken. The principal details to be learned, in Bailey's opinion, are the boundaries of the district, its powers and privileges, constitution of authority; and the steps to be taken, such as appointment of engineers, the making and filing of the engineer's re-commissioning documents. In the Anaheim packing house nearly three months ago, shows little effect of its varied wanderings since that time, thought it has visited Edinburgh, Scotland; Canada, and been carried in a suitcase clear across the United States. The orange was received at the local packing house early last week from D. J. Macpherson of 1120 Atchison street, Pasadena, who writes that he purchased the orange, with another like it in Edinburgh on July 15, last, whilejon a trip to Scotland, from which he has just returned. Mr Macpherson comments that the price he paid for the orange, about 7 cents, was no higher than the price he paid for fruit of equal quality in Los Angeles before he left and considerably less than he was charged in New York.

Tustin Becomes Sixth Class City Tustin has become an incorporated city of the sixth class. Voters cast 138 votes for incorporation and 110 votes against such action. Tustin is the third Orange county town to have incorporated during the last few months, and brings the total number of incorporated cities in Orange county to an even dozen. B. A. Crawford, Charles Logan, W. M. Huntley, E. L. Kiser and Fred L. Schwendeman have been chosen city councilmen. Walter J. Pollard was elected city treasurer, and J. R. Harbour, city clerk. The Orange county board of supervisors will canvass the vote and County Clerk Joseph Backs will dispatch the results to the secretary of state immediately. As soon as the secretary of state prepares the necessary credentials, the new city officials in Tustin will meet and organize the city government. Only 248 votes were cast on the incorporation proposition. The community has more than 1100 residents and more than 600 registered voters. Crawford was high on the city council ticket with 136 votes. Logan polled 127 votes, Huntley 113, Klser 105, and Schwendeman 97. O. A. Leihy ran Schwendeman a close race for the fifth place on the council. Leihy received 91 votes. H. H. Hannaford polled 68 votes, W. F. Thompson 68, and J. A. Haskell 40. Pollard, city treasurer, and Harbour, city clerk, were unopposed and each received 141 votes. Mrs. S. M. Garich, wife of the proprietor of the Dugram Apartments on West Broadway, died Thursday at a Los Angeles hospital. Mrs. Garich had been a resident here only two months. She leaves a husband and one son. The full text of the act is not required to give the people necessary information. Excerpts from its chief provisions only are necessary, said Bailey. Many sections of the act relate to minor technical details of describing how the main steps are to be taken. The principal details to be learned, in Bailey's opinion, are the boundaries of the district, its powers and privileges, constitution of authority, and the steps to be taken, such as appointment of engineers, the making and filling of the engineer's report and recommendations, the calling of a bond election based on this report, and if the bond election carries, the construction program following the plan recommended by the engineers; also the method of raising a tax levy for maintaining the works of the district after completion. A list of the facts the people should know about the district would, therefore, be as follows: 1—The boundaries of the district are identical with those of the county. 2—The objects and purposes of the enabling act are to provide for the control of storm and flood waters of the district from the outside; and to conserve such waters for beneficial use by spreading, storing, retaining or causing percolate into the soil; also to protect from damage by such flood waters, all public highways, waterways, harbors and property. 3—Powers of the district include the right to lease or purchase real or personal property; to acquire lands, easements and right-of-way, either within or without the district; to maintain any works within or without the district necessary to the objects of the district; to issue bonds or levy taxes. 4—The board of county supervisors are ex-officio supervisors of the flood control district. The district attorney, county clerk, assessor, tax collector, auditor and treasurer, similarly, occupy corresponding offices for the flood control district. The board of supervisors has authority over all matters pertaining to the flood control district. 5—It will be the duty of the supervisors to employ engineers to make an investigation of the water resources and file a report of the best plan to be followed in the control and conservation work. The report shall contain a general description done with general tions; a description right-of-way require the location of the improvements, and quired, and finally cost. 6—The supervisor sider the report to reject it. If the disapprove the report engineers to be until acceptable,ceptable report is by resolution, adopt a special election proposal to issue estimated necessa7—Bonds thus all taxable properties supervisors shall suffice at tax to principal ofthe body. 8—The right off demn property does not give theraters from any ment of any person in such stream, Condemnation right distance of 15 miles trict. 9—The district to co-operate with governments, or private corporation program. 10—Should an be found necessary of the supervisors ced again under enabling act to p such bonds, first report of the er work contemplated.

The announcement from San Bernardino referred to an alleged engineer who has been engaged as Orange county's flood control engineer, advising Orange county supervisors "not to wait for completion of the state survey of the Santa Ana river" before commencing its water program. Engineer Bailey actually made no such statement, he announced.

RECEPTION OF SEASON'S FIRST PICKING OF NUTS BEGAN MONDAY Only 300 Bags Brought in First Day, Owing to Weather Being Unfavorable for Drying; Big Percentage of Culls in This Season's Crop, but Association Will Ship 1000 Tons of Good Nuts; Prices to Be Fixed Later THE packing house of the Anaheim Walnut Growers' Association opened its doors for the reception of nuts Monday, and the first pickings of the 1927 crop are being brought in this week. Only 300 bags were received the first day, although picking had been in progress for considerable time. The cloudy weather of last week delayed the drying, consequently delivery at the packing house was delayed. Next week activities at the house will be in full blast, and thousands of bags of Anaheim's greatest walnut crop will be dumped in for treatment and shipment. One thousand tons, it is estimated, will be sent to market by the Anaheim house this year. Early estimates placed the total beyond this figure, but it has developed that an unusually large percentage of culls will be weeded out, leaving probably a thousand tons of good nuts to be shipped. Of these, probably little more than 50 per cent will be graded first-class, owing to the large number of small nuts in the pick. This is probably due to the enormous crop on the trees, growers in many instances being compelled to use props to prevent the branches from breaking off. The California Walnut Growers' Association, with headquarters in Los Angeles, controls the entire crop of the state. Shippments are made only under the direction of the association, which designates the distinction of each car, thus preventing a congestion in certain markets and a shortage in others. In this manner all markets are kept constantly supplied, and the consumption is heavier. Prices on the crop will be fixed by the California association the first week in October, but local men refuse to make a guess as to the figure. Making the price competition from Europe must be considered, but reports from France and Italy, it is stated, show a shortage in the crop of those countries, which are the chief competitors of our growers. If these reports are true, the prices ought to be good notwithstanding our enormous crop. general description of the work to be done, with general plans and specifications; a description of the lands and right-of-way required; a map showing the location of the proposed work and improvements, and property to be acquired, and finally, an estimate of the streams in the Santa Ana watershed "to protect itself" against the plains of Orange county. The announcement from San Bernardino referred to an alleged engineer who has been engaged as Orange county's flood control engineer, advising Orange county supervisors "not to wait for completion of the state survey of the Santa Ana river" before commencing its water program. Engineer Bailey actually made no such statement, he announced. A statement that he did make to the supervisors, he said, was so twisted in published reports as to give the misleading impression outside of the county that he was urging the Orange county board to get in ahead of the other counties along the Santa Ana river in grabbing water rights. Bailey's advice to the board, he said, had nothing to do with construction work, but referred merely to preparation of his report of water resources from which to decide upon a program of construction. Orange County Boy To Pitch for Browns George Blaeholder Sold to the St. Louis Team George Blaeholder, one of Orange county's few genuine contributions to organized baseball, has been sold to the St. Louis Browns by the Tulsa Western League, club. The purchase price was not made public, but the husky Garden Grove right-hand pitcher probably will report to the American League club immediately and remain with it until the close of the season. Blaeholder has been the pitching sensation of the Western League for two years, leading the fast Class A circuit in games won and lost. He also hurled his club to two victories in the recent post-season series with Waco, runner-up for the Texas League title. This will not be Blaeholder's first tryout in the majors, however, as he was with St. Louis during spring training for two years. He is a product of Orange county sandlot baseball, having been picked up for a trial four winters ago by Jimmy Austin, coach of the Browns, who lives at Laguna Beach during the off season. "Farmed" by the Browns to Terre Haute, he showed so much stuff for a youngster that he was recalled at the end of the season, only to be shipped out again following spring to Tulsa, with whom he has been, except for recalls at intervals by the Browns. When he was sent out again last spring, it made the third time he was "farmed out"; so this time the Browns, who own Tulsa, had to go through the formality of purchasing the Garden Grover. Since the Browns need pitchers badly and President Phill Ball has stated LEVY $1.35 ON $100, BEING FIVE CENTS LOWER THAN LAST YEAR Ordinance Regulating All Public Dances Introduced and Passes First Reading; Places Under Strict Police Supervision; Permits to Install Filling Station and Gospel Tent Denied; $10,000 Demands Paid AN ORDINANCE fixing the city's tax levy for the fiscal year 1927-1928 was adopted at an adjourned meeting of the council Friday night. The rate fixed by the ordinance is $1.35 on the hundred dollars, being 5 cents lower than last year's rate, and is the second cut the present board has made in the tax rate since taking office. It fixes a rate of fifty-eight cents and two and eight-tenths mills on the hundred dollars for the general fund, from which will be paid the current expenses of governing the city. The balance of the levy is divided among the various funds. It is estimated that $150,000 will be raised by this levy which, added to the $270,000 that will be received from other sources, will give the city an income next year of $420,000. City officials are figuring on a surplus of $20,000 at the end of the year. Another ordinance of considerable importance was introduced at Friday night's meeting, and will probably be adopted at the next session. It's purpose is to regulate public dances, and is rather drastic in its provisions. Laxity in the management of public dances has brought many complaints in the past, and these conditions it is hoped to rectify through adoption of new ordinance, according to City Manager J. W. Price. Under the provisions of the ordinance, all persons under 16 years of age are prohibited from attending dances, and parents are prohibited from giving children under that age permission to attend such affairs. Permits for public dances must be secured from the city council, if given the right to revoke such permits after due hearings have been given the proprietors of dance halls. In addition, the chief of police is given the authority to put matrons on duty at all public dances, subject to the approval of the council. Expenses of providing matrons must be defrayed by those sponsoring the events. O. E. Steward, maintenance engineer for unit one, outfall sewer, submitted his report for the month of July, showing an expenditure of $787.90. The report was approved. Application for permits to erect a filling station at North Lemon and La Verne streets and for a gospel tent at Dickel and La Palma streets were denied. Both these projects were bluepenciled by the planning commission. R. W.

If the board desires it may disapprove the report or refer it to other engineers to be modified or changed until acceptable. If and when an acceptable report is filed, the board shall, by resolution, adopt the report and call a special election for voting upon the proposal to issue bonds in the amount estimated necessarily by the engineers. 7—Bonds thus shall be a lien upon all taxable property in the district. The supervisors shall, each year, levy a sufficient tax to cover the interest and principal of the bonds to be paid that year. 8—The right of the district to condemn property needed by the district does not give the right to divert the waters from any stream to the detriment of any persons having an interest in such stream, without compensation. Condemnation rights are restricted to a distance of 15 miles outside of the district. 9—The district shall have full power to co-operate with the state or federal governments, or with any public or private corporation in a construction program. 10—Should an additional bond issue be found necessary by a four-fifths vote of the supervisors, the board may proceed again under the provisions of the enabling act to procure the voting of such bonds, first receiving an additional report of the engineers, showing the work contemplated. Mr. and Mrs. L. W. Evans of Hemet have purchased the Colonial Sweet Shoppe on West Center street. They formerly lived at Yorba Linda. "Farmed" by the Browns to Terre Haute, he showed so much stuff for a youngster that he was recalled at the end of the season, only to be shipped out again the following spring to Tulsa, with whom he has been, except for calls at intervals by the Browns. When he was sent out again last spring, it made the third time he was "farmed out"; so this time the Browns, who own Tulsa, had to go through the formality of purchasing the Garden Grover. Since the Browns need pitchers badly and President Phil Ball has stated publicly that his club is to be thoroughly revamped. Blazeholder is believed to stand an excellent chance of sticking in the big shop this trip. White Temple Holds Home Coming Meet Membership by Unanimous Vote Requests Pastor's Return By unanimous vote, the members of White Temple Methodist church requested the return of Dr. Benjamin S. Haywood for another year's pastorate. The vote was taken last night at the annual home coming meeting held at the church. Hundreds of members were present; more than four hundred sitting down to the dinner, which began at 6:30 o'clock. The various departments of the church presented dramatic visualizations of their work during the past year. The pastor's report shows 125 new members during the year, with 40 baptisms and numerous wedding ceremonies performed by him. There are now 811 enrolled in the Sunday school. Six new members were added to the official board during the year. All departments of the church reported unusual activities during the year. The doctor reported the death of two members. Dr. Haywood will leave shortly to attend the annual conference which will be held this year in Long Beach, and he can present an excellent report of his stewardship here. O.E. Steward, maintenance engineer for unit one, outfall sewer, submitted his report for the month of July, showing an expenditure of $787.90. The report was approved. Application for permits to erect a filling station at North Iemon and La Verne streets and for a gospel tent at Dickel and La Palma streets were denied. Both these projects were blue-penciled by the planning commission. R.W. Driggs was granted permission to install a grease rack on North Los Angeles at Sycamore. J.B. and Winifred Collings and C.A. Pearson presented a deed to a dumping ground. It was accepted by the board. Demands against the city totaling $10,076.98 were allowed and ordered paid. Visitors May View County Watershed An opportunity to view the Orange county watershed will be afforded citizens of Orange county some time during the middle of November, according to plans of the Orange County Farm Bureau, at which time a motor trip over the watershed and forest area of the county will be made. Tentative plans have been arranged to leave the courthouse at Santa Ana at 9 o'clock. The plantings and nursery at the Orange county park will be observed and then those attending will be taken to the fire station in Black Star canyon. At this point the present work of the forest department will be explained, and the party will return to a ranger camp for lunch. After lunch the silt conditions and erosions caused by the Hathaway fire will be viewed. Representatives of the United States forestry department, the University of California, and the county fire warden are co-operating with the farm bureau toward making this trip a big success. The officials and people who know something about forestry have been beseeched to limber up their larynx and be prepared to give some real information at several of the stops. Walter Nelpp is having a pleasant vacation at San Juan Hot Springs. Walter is the popular manager of the Safeway store at 141 West Center.

RIVER CONTROL FUND SLOWLY INCREASING DRIVE TO CONTINUE UNTIL ENTIRE SUM NEEDED IS SECURED Reports at Meeting of Committeemen Tuesday Indicate That Only 50 Per Cent of Territory Had Been Canvassed; Repair Work Will Not Begin Until Total Sum Is Subscribed; Gap in Dyke Must Be Stopped CONTRIBUTIONS toward the Radio Preview Opened Last Night Four Nights of Excellent Entertainment Promised The Radio Preview, participated in by nearly all the dealers in Orange county, opened its four-night entertainment at Elks clubhouse last night. An excellent program had been arrangement for the opening night, and those scheduled for tonight, tomorrow night and Saturday night will be equally as good. Radio dealers affiliated with the exposition predicted that one of the largest crowds of the entire preview would file through the portals on the opening night. In honor of National Radio Day and also of the birth of the preview, which the dealers hope to hold every year, an especially attractive program of entertainment has been arranged for the four nights, according to Walter Biddick, program director. The first numbers on the program last night were provided by the White King male quartet, famous singing organization. In addition to ensemble numbers, the members of the quartet offered solos. Next followed Bennie Light and Mark Cook, who achieved fame in Chicago for their radio renditions. Both the White King male quartet and the Light-Cook team have toured the Orpheum circuits, it was added. E. K. "Yeast Cake" Barnes, one of the best known radio enunciators of Southern California, will help Biddick at the microphone and may take occasion to offer a few selected musical numbers. K. G. Ormiston, well-known radio technician, also will be present. While the doors of the preview open at 6 p.m., the program begins about 8 p.m. and concludes at 10 p.m. Auto Collides With High School Bus DRIVE TO CONTINUE UNTIL ENTIRE SUM NEEDED IS SECURED Reports at Meeting of Committeemen Tuesday Indicate That Only 50 Per Cent of Territory Had Been Canvassed; Repair Work Will Not Begin Until Total Sum Is Subscribed; Gap in Dyke Must Be Stopped CONTRIBUTIONS toward the fund of $12,000 for repairing the break in the Santa Ana river protection work above the city are coming slowly. Secretary George W. Reid of the Chamber of Commerce, who has command of the work, reported yesterday that only $3300 in subscriptions had been reported to him. Some of the canvassers, however, who had been in the field had not yet made reports, and it was believed subscriptions in their hands would considerably augment this total. A meeting of the committees and canvassers was held at the city hall Tuesday morning, and final arrangements made for completing the drive. All four of the clubs engaged in the work of soliciting made reports, and it was found that not over 50 per cent of the persons from whom contributions were expected had been seen by the canvassers. Much of the territory has not yet been worked, and many people were absent from home when the solicitors called. Few people have refused outright to contribute, but the subscriptions of many are so small that they contribute little to the total. "This drive for funds should not be a begging proposition," said Mr. Reid. "It really is an opportunity for every person to get behind the community with his support. The men and women working on this thing are doing it at considerable sacrifice in time and energy. If people will only understand that this is not a begging undertaking and that it really is an effort to get a limited community effort, the drive will be a huge success." At the meeting Tuesday, the solicitors were instructed to continue the drive until the needed money is secured. It is hoped that this can be accomplished before the end of the week, as the men and women in the field are neglecting their private interests in order to assist the work. It is imperative that this money should be raised and the repairs made before the rainy season sets in. Should a flood come before this 1800-foot gap is plugged, millions of dollars worth of valuable property will be inundated, and the river may again change its channel and cut through north of this city. Work on the dyke will not begin until the money is in sight. It is hoped it can be completed before the heavy rains come. Garden Grove Has E. K. "Yeast Cake" Barnes, one of the best known radio enunciators of Southern California, will help Biddick at the microphone and may take occasion to offer a few selected musical numbers. K. G. Ormiston, well-known radio technician, also will be present. While the doors of the preview open at 6 p.m., the program begins about 8 p.m. and concludes at 10 p.m. Auto Collides With High School Bus Lloyd Ross, driver of a high school bus, figured in an accident Tuesday morning and, as a result, was slightly cut about the face and head by broken glass. The accident happened on Lincoln avenue, near the Garden Grove road, at 7:15 o'clock. Ross was driving out to gather up his load of students. Just ahead of him, near the intersection, a car driven by Miss Elva Hurley backed out of an orchard into the road. Ross swerved to one side to go around the car. It continued to back up, and he edged farther over and dropped off the pavement. Before he could jump out, the backing car struck the bus, breaking the widshield and damaging it considerably otherwise. Miss Hurley's car was only slightly damaged. She explained that she was blinded by the rilsng sun, and did not see the bus. Telephone Extension To Beach Points Dana Point, San Juan Capistrano, and San Clemente are being satisfactorily served by their new telephone exchanges, according to E. S. Morrow, manager of The Pacific Telephone and Telegraph Company. The exchanges were cut into service on July 30, 1927. San Juan Capistrano and Dana Point are being served by the manual type of exchange, while San Clemente has the dial system. The central office at San Clemente is in the Bartlett store and office building, that of San Juan Capistrano in the Capistrano hotel, and that of Dana Point in the bungalow real estate office. It is imperative that this money should be raised and the repairs made before the rainy season sets in. Should a flood come before this 1800-foot gap is plugged, millions of dollars worth of valuable property will be inundated, and the river may again change its channel and cut through north of this city. Work on the dyke will not begin until the money is in sight. It is hoped it can be completed before the heavy rains come. Garden Grove Has Fire Department Will No Longer Depend on Anaheim for Aid The Garden Grove fire commissioners have purchased an American La France fire engine for the Garden Grove county fire district. It is equipped with a six-cylinder Continental motor. It is fully equipped with all necessary fire fighting equipment for efficient fire fighting. The board is expecting delivery on the appartus not later than the last of this week. One thousand feet of two and a half inch and 300 feet of one and half inch fire hose has been purchased and will be delivered at the earliest date. A loan of 500 feet of two and a half inch second-hand hose was secured until the new hose can be delivered. E. J. Tobias has been elected fire chief and J. A. Estep assistant chief. Mr. Tobias had four years' practical service in a paid fire department in Mansfield, Ohio. Mr. Estep had four years' practical service in the fire department in Colorado. Charles Pannier and Miss Josephine Cook, both of this city, have left to resume their studies at Oregon Agricultural College and Pomona College, respectively. Other Anaheim college students who have returned to college are Loren and Alice Wright, University of California; Alan Raines, University of California at Los Angeles; Miss Marguerite Twinem, Redlands, and Glenn Mathis and Charlyn Tedrick, University of Southern California.
