The residential section of Huntington Beach has been moved several times the past few years, and the moves have not always been financially successful for the homeowner. At the present time a great many houses are being moved from the drilling sections to the vicinity of Crest and Main, known as the West Lake Park tract. Mrs. Goddard is building a beautiful home in that section at the present time. Four different holes have been drilled in this immediate vicinity to a depth of 5000 feet, but no oil NO DEFINITE ACTION WILL BE TAKEN UNTIL FINAL SURVEY IS MADE Secretary Reid Reports $10,000 in Sight for Repair of Dyke, and More Is Expected; Chamber Orders Estimates Prepared and Will Call for Bids; Civic Body Heads Pledge Support; Reid Submits Statement WHILE various subjects were touched upon, and brief reports from the several civic bodies in the city submitted, the chief topic under discussion was the county flood control project. Paul Bailey, engineer in charge of the work, was the chief speaker. He stated that no actual work would be undertaken and no recommendation made until he and the advisory board appointed by the supervisors had made a complete survey of the county and had decided upon a plan of action. The most efficient and most economical method of controlling the flood waters of the county and conserving the agricultural and domestic water supply, he said, will be recommended to the people for their action after a complete survey and study of the situation has been made. No definite plan of action is being considered at this time. Bailey dwelt at length on the water that is wasted each year by letting the flood waters run into the ocean. He said the same source of water is being called upon to supply the demand that was used 40 years ago, and he asserted the figures show that that source is rapidly being diminished. It means, he said, that unless new sources of supply are found we have virtually reached the limits of our agricultural development. Another phase of the water situation upon which Bailey touched was the ever increasing cost of drilling new wells and deepening present ones, which he declared put drilling on a highly prohibited competitive basis. Short speeches were made by heads of civic societies. A. Curtis Case, president of the Klwania; Lotus H. Loudon, president of the Lions Club; Mrs. H. H. Benjamin, president of the Ebell Society; J. Clark Chamberlain, commander of the American Legion, and George Vanderberg, president of the farm center, each pledged the support of their organizations toward any move calculated to benefit the community. William Schumacher, chairman of the board of supervisors, explained the flood control project and presented Mr. Bailey to the audience. The meeting was called to order by H. E. W. Barnes, retiring president, who spoke briefly on the past year's work, then turned the meeting over to F. A. Yungbluth, president for the coming year. George W. Reid, secretary of the Chamber of Commerce, declared that $10,000 was in hand toward repairing establishing a residential section. The residential section of Huntington Beach has been moved several times the past few years, and the moves have not always been financially successful for the homeowner. At the present time a great many houses are being moved from the drilling sections to the vicinity of Crest and Main, known as the West Lake Park tract. Mrs. Goddard is building a beautiful home in that section at the present time. Four different holes have been drilled in this immediate vicinity to a depth of 5000 feet, but no oil has been discovered in paying quantities. It is held by those interested that a residential district protected from drilling for all time will have a stabilizing effect on Huntington Beach retail business, and Den slow says that it seems that the business men are solidly behind the proposal of the Chamber of Commerce. Plans Completed For Armistice Day All Previous Celebrations to Be Outclassed November 11 Tentative schedule for the Armistice Day parade and celebration of all Orange county in Fullerton, November 11, was announced by Hugh Miller, general manager. This schedule is to be followed closely in the staging of what is expected to be the most extensive parade and greatest celebration in the history of Armistice Day in Orange county. The parade will start promptly at 11 a.m., a cannon of Civil war fame being used to fire the starting bomb. There will be a double finale to the parade as massed colors and combined bands pass the reviewing stand after the conclusion of the moving pageant and 5000 homing pigeons are released. As a signal for the liberation of the great flock of birds, which will be the second largest release ever attempted in the world, an airplane will dip down over the reviewing stand and set free a number of pigeons from the air. There will be a speech at the high school grounds at 1:30 p.m. by some prominent person, whose identity has not yet been announced. Dinner for every one will be available in barbecues to be served at strategic points under the direction of the American Legion Auxiliary at a cost of 35 cents per meal. In the afternoon a football game, which it is anticipated will be the deciding contest of the Orange County league, will be played at the Fullerton high school field between Anaheim and Fullerton teams. A band concert at both Commonwealth and Hillcrest parks is to be held during the afternoon. In the evening there will be an ex-establishing a residential section.

Reid, secretary of the Chamber of Commerce, declared that $10,000 was in hand toward repairing the break in the river embankment, and that more was in sight. The directors had called for estimates of the work and would ask for bids. Mr. Reid also submitted a statement of what the chamber had accomplished or assisted in during the past year. Following is a partial list: Roads: Lemon street opened from city limits to Orangenthorpe still pending. Placed under the Mattoon act and will be accomplished in no distant future. Assisted with Palm street. Attended a number of meetings of the Manchester Road Association.

Maloney Bill: Opposed the Maloney bill in the state legislature, which bill desired to specify the length of freight trains. Flood Relief Work: Prepared and sent out one hundred questionnaires to residents in North Anaheim, damaged by flood waters of Carbon canyon. Submitted questionnaires to Union Oil Company, from which a number of residents were reimbursed for damages. Flood Control: Prepared petitions for the formation of a flood control district and collected funds for emergency relief in February, 1927. Street Lighting: Assisted the city in expanding its plan of street lighting and paving. Trade Excursion: Put on the merchants' Good Will trade excursion over North Orange county.

According to a statement made to Frank Truman, night desk man at the Newport Beach police station, Cahill was put out of his machine at a point near Talbert, and the quartet drove away with his big car. The chauffeur started to walk to Newport Beach and was picked up by a motorist who drove him to the beach city and to the police station. Cahill told the Newport Beach officer that a man and woman came to his stand at Sixth and Main streets, Los Angeles, and hired him for a trip. He was directed to drive to Eighteenth and Main, where another man and woman joined the party. EBELL SOCIETY HOST TO MANY VISITORS MRS. W. W.

Thursday evening. In extending a welcome to the visitors, Mr. Hanson, founder of the town, pointed to developments along the coast line in the past two or three years and made the point that increased valuations on these properties had been effective in holding down the county tax rate. He declared that before another year has passed one new house will be started on his tract every other day and one completed every other day, making an average of three houses a week. He expressed the opinion that within a few years the population on the coast section between Capistrano and the county line would contain as many souls as are now residing in the remaining portion of the county. Within 10 years, he said, one of the largest communities in the Southland will have been built in that vicinity. The community builder, who always is a searcher after facts, made the statement that in the past sixyears northern California had made a population gain of 18 per cent, while Southern California had increased its number of inhabitants by an even 100 per cent. For the past four years Orange county has gained an average of 20 per cent a year. He predicted an even faster growth for this section. C.H. Gummere, lecturer on commerce at the University of Southern California, spoke on the water situation. He pointed to the importance of conservation of the water resources of the county, and stressed the fact that water in the Santa Ana river goes to waste annually that should be saved for domestic consumption and irrigation. He intimated the importance of this county joining forces with other communities in the Southland in bringing water here from the Colorado river. “You can’t stop people from other states coming to the Southland and to Orange county, but you can prevent them remaining,” he said. “And one way of keeping them away as permanent residents is to fail to develop water necessary to maintain the growth and prosperity of the county. If you continue to let the flood waters of the Santa Ana river run to waste, you will pay dearly.

On arrival at that point, the man sitting in the front seat with the driver pulled a pistol and told him to keep on driving." They directed him toward Huntington Beach, the "fare" holding the gun on him all the time. When he arrived at a point near Talbert the driver was directed to halt his car. "We want this machine," the man with the gun said, and he forced the driver to surrender the wheel. Talbert was put out of the machine, but no attempt was made to relieve him of his personal belongings. Two Men Jailed on Charge of Murder La Habra Mexican Supposed to Have Been Killed in Fight With two men in the county jail, booked for suspicion of assault with a deadly weapon, the sheriff's office launched an investigation into the asserted suicide of Frank Mata, La Habra orange picker, who was found lying unconscious in the bedroom of the home of Joe Falcon, 35, also an orange picker. Mata was rushed to the Orange county hospital with a bullet hole in his left temple, where he died at 11:30 o'clock Sunday night, without ever regaining consciousness. The shot which killed him was fired from an army .45 calibre automatic pistol Sunday morning at 7:30 o'clock. Falcon and Antonio Sandobal, latter a roommate of the dead man, were arrested by Deputy Sheriffs Howard and Leach, after an investigation. Now that Mata is dead, a more serious charge will be placed against them. Falcon told officers that he and his wife were in the house at the time when Mata shot himself. He could give no reason for suicide, however, officers said. Falcon said he was inside another room and that his wife was in the kitchen when Mata drew the gun and fired the fatal shot. He said he was awakened by the shot and rushed into the room and found Mata on the floor. Officers point out the fact that Mata was right-handed and that the bullet wound was behind the left ear, an MRS. W. W. GREEN, STATE FEDERATION PRESIDENT, ONE OF THE GUESTS Object and Work of Federation of Women's Clubs, Subject by Mrs. Green; Delegates and Alternates Elected to Two Conventions; Local Members Make Reports and Enjoy "Rainbow Luncheon" THE Anaheim Ebell Club was host to 300 members of the Federation of Women's Clubs from all sections of Orange county Monday, the honor guest being Mrs. W. W. Green, president of the state federation. The meeting was held at the Elks' clubhouse, but a "rainbow luncheon" was served in the roof garden of the Angelina hotel. Although considerable business was transacted by the local members, the principal events of the meeting were the addresses by Mrs. Green and Mrs. H.E. De Nyse of Riverside, president of the southern district. Mrs. Green's address was devoted principally to the object of the women's federation and the work accomplished by it in the past. "Federation gives us opportunity to cope with problems in a manner that we could not possibly do as individuals—or members of local clubs," she said. "Make your club a living, figuring thing and consider problems confronting us today. It is gratifying to know that the General Federation of Women's Club is one of six organizations in the United States which elects a delegate tothe Pacific Peace Institute. This body is endeavoring to assist other nations ofthe world in solving their great problems." The speaker presented a kaleldo-scopic review ofthe things whichthe federation has accomplishedinthe United States and other problemsthatarenowbeingworkedout.

He intimated the importance of this county joining forces with other communities in the Southland in bringing water here from the Colorado river. "You can't stop people from other states coming to the Southland and to Orange county, but you can prevent them remaining." he said. "And one way of keeping them away as permanent residents is to fail to develop water necessary to maintain the growth and prosperity of the county. If you continue to let the flood waters of the Santa Ana river run to waste, you will pay dearly. Conservation of the flood waters would add irrigation acreage, increase the taxable wealth of the county and stimulate its population growth." Mr. Gummere suggested that if Orange county wanted to do effective advertising, that it organize a plan for representatives to meet newcomers when they arrive in Los Angeles and bring them down into this territory. He commented on the fact that strangers would be more deeply impressed by visualization of the county than by hearing stories of its beauty and productivity. W. J. Carmichael, immediate past president of the county organization, deployed the fact that funds were not available this year for continuation of the advertising campaign in Los Angeles and Long Beach newspapers inaugurated last year, under direction of the county publicity committee, composed of the paid secretaries of the Chambers of Commerce of the county. Carmichael expressed the opinion that advertising in publications in the two cities is more valuable than the sending of booklets and other literature to persons in the east, far removed from the possible point of direct contact. He urged appointment by the Associated Chambers of Commerce of a committee to confer with the board of supervisors in the hope that an appropriation might be secured to continue the advertising campaign. Following a declaration by William Schumacher, chairman of the board of supervisors, that funds were not available and that it would be useless for such a committee to appear before the board, Carmichael suggested the appointment of a committee of five to devise ways and means for financing Falcon told officers that he and his wife were in the house at the time when Mata shot himself. He could give no reason for suicide, however, officers said. Falcon said he was asleep in another room and that his wife was in the kitchen when Mata drew the gun and fired the fatal shot. He said he was awakened by the shot and rushed into the room and found Mata on the floor. Officers point out the fact that Mata was right-handed and that the bullet wound was behind the left ear, an unusual place for a right-handed man to shoot himself. Following the shooting, Chief Bain of La Habra was notified by Falcon, who first learned of the suicide story, it was said. Bain investigated and called the sheriff's office. The body of Mata was moved to the Backs, Terry & Campbell funeral parls at Anaheim, and Coroner Charles D. Brown intimated that he would hold an inquiry there. Mrs. H. E. Inskeep Seriously Injured Mrs. H. E. Inskeep of Fallbrook, formerly Mrs. Ramella of this city, was seriously injured in an automobile crash at Santa Ana on Monday afternoon, at 5 o'clock, when a truck on which she was riding with her husband collided with a car driven by Wade Cook. She was taken to the Santa Ana Valley hospital, where it was found she had sustained seven broken ribs, a broken shoulder and severe cuts and bruises. Mrs. Inskeep suffered a fracture of the hip in a fall at her home at Fulerton, three years ago, and spent many weeks in a hospital. She was taken about in a wheeled chair, and had recovered from her injuries when the Santa Ana accident made it necessary to take her to the hospital again. the campaign. The suggestion later was formed into a motion and President J. P. Greeley was authorized to appoint such a committee. The membership of the committee will be announced later. September Grist of Marriage Licenses County Clerk J. M. Backs reports that 313 marriage licenses were issued during September. This is a gain of 79 over the previous month, August, when 234 couples faced the minister or judge. So Dan Cupid seems to be making a "come-back," though still weak in comparison with his old self, as indicated by the figures for September, 1926, which totaled 450. The slump under the new law, it is said, may be due to the law itself, as an obstacle to marriage, or it may be merely the taking up of slack left by the great rush of last June and July, when brides and grooms crowded the license bureau to marry before the new law became effective. County Clerk Backs leans to the latter theory, inasmuch as he predicted just such a rush and an ensuing slump before they occurred. He also predicted that after the initial slump, the situation would return to normal and there might even be more marriages than before. So far, events appear to be following his prophecy. Federations of Women's Clubs. Mrs. De Nyse announced that a district convention of the women's federation would be held at Palm Springs, November 7 to 11, and urged a large attendance. The Anaheim club elected Mrs. E. Smith and Mrs. Nellie E. Terry delegates to this convention, and Mesdames H. D. Newkirk and J. H. Swan alternates. The Orange county convention will be held at Orange, October 28, and delegates alternates were chosen to attend this meeting. The delegates are Mesdames H. C. Pearson, C. E. Harberson, J. E. Schumacher, and J. P. Wilson. Alternates selected are Mesdames G. H. Goodale, Louis Schumacher, Sid McGraw and Robert Royalty. Mrs. J. H. Swan announced that $200 had been cleared at the Ebell flesta, recently held at the Swan residence on Placentia avenue, and Mrs. McGraw reported that $907.00 was raised by the Ebell in the drive for funds to repair the river dyke.

Riverside county being awarded first prize in this field. The Orange county displays of orange and sage honey, beeswax and Italian queen bees took the blue ribbons, said Crump. The judges declared that more awards would have been made to this section except for the fact that some of the displays entered were not placed in competition. Crump declared.

Faculty FIGURES FIXED AT LOS ANGELES YESTERDAY BY ASSOCIATION Diamond No. 1 Offered at 21 Cents This Year, All Other Grades in Proportion; Unusually Heavy Crop and Competition With Europe Responsible for Lowering of Price; Association in Full Swing PRICES of walnuts this year will be considerably lower than the schedule prevailing a year ago, but notwithstanding this fact the crop will bring the growers of California larger returns than last year's crop. The California Walnut Growers' Association held a meeting at Los Angeles yesterday and fixed the prices on this year's crop. While the prices are almost 25 per cent lower than the figures fixed for last year's crop, the unprecedented heavy yield this year will probably more than offset the lower price. The prices set by the association are: Diamond No. 1, 21 cents a pound. Diamond large buds, 25 cents. Diamond medium buds, 19 cents. Emerald No. 1, 18½ cents. Emerald large buds, 22½ cents. Emerald medium buds, 17 cents. Emerald bables, 13 cents. Despite the comparatively low prices to be paid for this season's nuts, the unusually large yield this year assures growers returns that are expected to exceed the records of any previous season. Carlyle Thorpe, general manager of the central exchange, declared in addressing the meeting, which was attended by member growers from all parts of the state. Mr. Thorpe reported that the California distributors are, this season, to meet the stiffest competition on the eastern markets that they have ever encountered. He stated that, on a recent tour of the East he found foreign nuts already on the market and received a report that Europe, as well as California, is this year experiencing the largest walnut crop in its history. Walter Ross, manager of the Anaheim association, attended the meeting. The Anaheim harvest is in full swing now, and the shipments, it is expected, will exceed a thousand tons, the heaviest crop ever handed by the local association. Lower prices will not curtail the growers' bank roll in this neighborhood. Dr. Haywood Returns To Anaheim Charge News that Dr. Benjamin S. Haywood was returned to the pastorate of the White Temple church, in Anaheim, was received with general satisfaction here. A petition signed by a number of laymen, following unanimous vote of the congregation, was presented to the conference at Long Beach, which was Parents Meet School Teachers Members of A. U. H. S.

Starbuck of Berkeley visited with her mother, Mrs. Honor Easton, during the past week. Dr. Haywood Returns To Anaheim Charge News that Dr. Benjamin S. Haywood was returned to the pastorate of the White Temple church, in Anaheim, was received with general satisfaction here. A petition signed by a number of laymen, following unanimous vote of the congregation, was presented to the conference at Long Beach, which was held last week, requesting his return. During their residence here Dr. and Mrs. Haywood have made themselves extremely popular, not only with the congregation of the church, but with all the people. The church during the doctor's pastorate has expanded, added many new members, and increased its usefulness and influence in the community. RECEPTION FOR REV. BODE Rev. A. G. H. Bode and family departed on Monday for Pasadena, where they will make their future home. Dean Bode has been rector of St. Michael's for five years past, and he and his estimable family have many friends who regret their departure. A large number of friends gathered at Guild hall, on Friday evening, to bid the family farewell. Harry Whitaker, on behalf of the congregation, presented Dean Bode with a gift in appreciation of his work here. Rev. Thomas Walker, pastor of the Presbyterian church, spoke of the many friends of Dean Bode in this city and voiced his regret at saying farewell. Rev. Bode, in a few kindly words, thanked his friends* for their expressions of regret, saying that the five years spent in Anaheim have been among the happiest of his life. A program of music and singing was enjoyed, and refreshments were served by ladies of the Guild at the close of the evening. Building permits in the city during September aggregated $23,423, making a total of $37,645 for the first nine months of the year. For the same period last year the total was $34,973.
