CALIFORNIA VALENCIA ORANGE SHOW Opening Day—Thursday, May 24 Closing Day……Sunday, June 3 King Valencia's Annual Classic VOLUME LVIII EASTSIDERS WILL PRICE ANSWERS QUESTIONS OF INQUIRERS DELEGATES OF PROPOSED ANNEXATION DISTRICT MEET WITH COUNCIL Want Information Relative to Expensive Contemplated Improvement in Their Section, but Are Relieved by City Manager's Statement That They Must Decide for Themselves; Election Officers Appointed Election Officers Appointed Skeleton Dug Up on Ranch By Excavators SHERIFF'S officers examined a skull and several bones of a human body, dug up on the old Ford ranch, near the Orange county fair grounds and decided it was the remains of an Indian which had probably been buried for more than 100 years. The skeleton was dug up Monday afternoon, when workmen for Jake Schumacher were digging a pipe line through the property. The skeleton was found two and a half feet under the ground, and most of the bones were found together. The skeleton fell apart when it was picked up, and the bones were crumbling, indicating the many years they had been buried. So far as is known, no other such skeletons have ever been found in this section of the county, it was said. Many Anaheimers ANNEXATION DISTRICT MEET WITH COUNCIL Want Information Relative to Expensive Contemplated Improvement in Their Section, but Are Relieved by City Manager’s Statement That They Must Decide for Themselves; Election Officers Appointed Election Officers Appointed A DELEGATION of residents of the district east of town which will be taken into the city limits, if a sufficient number of electors therein vote for it on March 20, appeared at the council meeting Thursday night, and each member carried an interrogation point in his eye. The spokesman of the delegation said that rumors were rife that the city, in case of annexation, would immediately proceed to plant shade trees in the curbings; extend the ornamental light system to that section; widen East Center street; cut Broadway through from East street to Placeia avenue, and otherwise fasten expensive improvement on the property owners. City Manager J. W. Price scattered the rumors in answering the speaker. He stated that the city would not plant shade trees in front of property that was not subdivided; that the council had no intention of extending the ornamental lighting system in that direction; that East Center street was amply wide enough to accommodate the traffic at present, and that the extension of Broadway from its present terminus had never been mentioned at a council meeting. He added that the residents of the district themselves would have to decide when they wanted these improvements made. Election officers who will have charge of the polls in the nine consolidated precincts at the city election on April 9 were appointed by the council. They are: Consolidated precinct "A," including regular precincts 2 and 3, Anaheim Union high school, R. Pember, inspector; Miss Freda Janss, Judge; Mrs. J. Fisher, clerk, and Mrs. J. Probst, clerk. Consolidated precinct "B," including regular precincts 1 and 4, Euca-Lemo Soap Company, 911 North Los Angeles street, Frank Tausch, inspector; W. P. Quarton, Judge, and H. W. Lewis and Mrs. Fred Marsh, clerks. Consolidated precinct "C," including regular precincts 6 and 7, La Palma street grammar school, R. L. Royalty, inspector; L. A. Fisher, judge, and Mrs. E. B. Segerstrom and Mrs. William Lake, clerks. Consolidated precinct "D," including regular precincts 10 and 11, Olive Fruit Company, 805 East Center street, J. E. Coyner, inspector; R. B. Herman, judge, and Mrs. L. Kroeger and Mrs. O. B. Weaver, clerks. Consolidated precinct "E," including regular precincts 9 and 12, A. and B. Many Anaheimers In Flood District No Casualties Being Reported, Believe All Are Safe Many Anaheim people have friends living in the Santa Clara valley district which was devastated by the flood Tuesday morning, and much anxiety has been felt for their safety. So far as is known, all from this section escaped. Mr. and Mrs. Welcome Ward, formerly of this city, reside at Santa Paula, one of the towns in the stricken district. Mr. Ward was formerly pharmacist at the sanitarium here, and his wife is the daughter of Mrs. Harriet Boyd, Ned Bowman, son of City Clerk E. B. Merritt, lives at Fillmore. Rev. V. K. Ledbetter, formerly pastor of Calvary Baptist church in this city, now lives at Fillmore. Mrs. J. D. Nogent and Miss Sarah Mattis, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. George Mattis, were at Santa Paula, but being warned in time, hurriedly left in a car before the wall of water reached that section. Mrs. Frank Hill, sister of Mrs. Ben Stroup, lives at Santa Paula, but reported here that she was safe. The extent of the damage and total loss of life is not yet known. About 300 bodies have been rescued, but hundreds are reported missing, and their fate is not yet known. The flood was caused by the breaking of the St. Francis reservoir, owned by the city of Los Angeles, and more than twelve billion gallons of water rushed down the Santa Clara river to the ocean. It is said the wall of water was fifty feet high and two miles in width. County Clerk Issues Warning to Voters Urges All to Register Before Closing of Books, March 31 Joe Backs, county clerk, broadcast a warning that registration for the coming presidential primary election would close sharply at midnight on Saturday, March 31. He also warned that citizens expecting to vote in the primaries must register as party members. ALTHOUGH the nomination process does not expire next Tuesday, it is that any more candidates get into the fight as to be full. Five men are frages for seats at the three are contestants of city treasurer. The councilmen are L. P. Curtis Case, incumbent man, and George W.

Hans is engaged in raising cattle and sheep, and is doing very well. He has been offered more for 100 acres of his ranch than he paid for the whole of it, but he refuses to sell. A river runs through the tract and he has an abundance of water. He has given up the practice of law and is now a prosperous rancher. COUNTY Clerk Issues Warning to Voters Urges All to Register Before Closing of Books, March 31 Joe Backs, county clerk, broadcast a warning that registration for the coming presidential primary election would close sharply at midnight on Saturday, March 31. He also warned that citizens expecting to vote in the primaries must register as party members. Those registrants who decline to state a party preference will be barred from naming their choice of presidential candidates at the primary on Tuesday, May 1, it was announced by Backs. Four political parties are recognized in this state: Republican, Democratic, Socialist and Prohibition, and only those registrants who have signified themselves Republicans will be allowed to participate in the selection of delegates to the Republican national convention in Kansas City, which is to choose the party's candidate for the White House. Similarly, only Democratic registrants may vote in the Democratic presidential primary. With three weeks remaining until the closing of the presidential primary registration, only a few more than 50 per cent of the 1927 qualified voters had registered. Plan Valencia Show Pre-Opening Affair Scribes, fruitmen, in fact all friends of the California Valencia Orange Show will be guests at a pre-opening banquet to be held at the Elks Club here, April 2, according to an announcement made by George Reid, secretary of the Anaheim Chamber of Commerce. This banquet, while not officially an annual affair, has nevertheless been given for the past several years. This year it will be more elaborate than ever, the Aladdin motif of the orange show to be carried out for the dinner setting. The committee appointed to arrange the banquet includes Reid, Harry D. Riley, and L. H. Loudon. Deceased was a martyrian church, and Walker, pastor of the conducted the funeral of Terry & Campbell's morning. The pallied friends of the deceased Sandilands, L. E. M. O. H.

E. Kruckman, general agent for the public utility, who said that the figure represented a 25 per cent increase over the travel for 1926. The Riverside to Long Beach travel by way of Santa Ana had a 27 per cent increase the past year, and the northern and eastern business out of Santa Ana showed an increase of 67 per cent, Kruckman said. In the past six months, the express business out of Santa Ana jumped 52 per cent, the agent said. In commenting on the growth of the business here, Kruckman declared that it is now possible to board a car here and without any delay travel to any Pacific coast city as far as Vancouver, B. C.

Five men are asking the suffrages for seats at the council table, and three are contesting for the office of city treasurer. The candidates for councilmen are L. E. Miller and A. Curtis Case, incumbents; Jacob Lakeman, and George W. Bruns, candidates of the fortified opponents of the present administration, and H. E. Axup, who is running as a free lance. It is not believed that Mr. Axup will poll a very heavy vote, as he is not backed by the opposition forces to the city administration, but he claims that many friends are behind his candidacy, and he may surprise the prophets. While the contest is expected to be warm, it will be free from personalities, as no person, no matter how radical his beliefs, can throw dirt at any of the candidates. They are all clean men. The issue is the record of the city council during the past three years. Messrs. Miller, Grafton and Franzen, present councilmen, were three of the men who led the van in that memorable battle when the old city government was dethroned in the recall election, and a great deal of the opposition to Miller and Case comes from men and women who have cherished a resentment against the victors ever since that never-to-be-forgotten election day. This force is augmented by a large number of people who are bitter against the board because of the progressive program it has mapped and is so successfully carrying out. There is a new man in the field for city treasurer, making a three-cornered fight for the office. Glenn Merrill's candidacy was announced the latter part of the week, and is contesting with Charles A. Boege, the incumbent, and David Jessurun. Merrill is a World war veteran, and is now commander of the Anaheim American Legion post. He will have a large support, and adds considerable interest to the race for that important office. E. B. Merritt is still playing a lone hand in the contest for city clerk, and in all probability there will not be much excitement in his campaign. It is not probable that any other candidates will enter the race for any of the positions now. The forces that brought forward Lakeman and Bruns would resent the intrusion of any other candidate, and will solidly support their own nominees, while the friends of the present administration are standing like a wall behind Miller and Case, and 27 per cent increase the past year, and the northern and eastern business out of Santa Ana showed an increase of 67 per cent, Kruckman said. In the past six months, the express business out of Santa Ana jumped 52 per cent, the agent said. In commenting on the growth of the business here, Kruckman declared that it is now possible to board a car here and without any delay travel to any Pacific coast city as far as Vancouver, B.C. New $18,000 parlor cars time their departure with the arrival of Santa Ana cars and immediately upon the discharge of passengers from the Santa Ana bus, the parlor cars depart for the north, Kruckman said. CITIZENS FAVOR PROGRESS An old-timer steps in to remind us that when the city trustees, years ago, decided to construct cement sidewalks in the business center, while there was at first concerted objection to the innovation, yet when the first two blocks were thus improved, every business man in town rushed to the city hall to demand that cement walks be placed in front of his property. The old wooden walks were alike an eyesore and a menace to life and limb. When a progressive spirit seized the citizens, and the board was urged to lay down cement walks, many property owners rose in arms and uttered strenuous objection to the plan. Y., when a block or two were adorned with these evidences of civilization, every business man in town wanted them, and the entire business district was soon graced with handsome cement sidewalks without further opposition. When a subsequent board of trustees set about to pave streets in the business district, there was further objection. Business streets in winter ran knee-deep in water in places and were quite impassable. The humorously inclined placards in the thoroughfares bearing the admonition "No Fishing," as well as other expressions of good-natured railway. A man's hat sailing down the stream in the middle of the street attracted attention of onlookers, and one of them called to the gentleman under it, offering to render him assistance, but he replied, "Oh I'm all right." I'm on horseback! The trustees decided to pave, and the new improvements—were ordered in much to the consternation of many tax-payers. Rumors of collusion were in the air, but the board continued steadily onward, and when a few downtown blocks were paved, every taxpayer in the business district wanted them. When cement sidewalks were about to be laid in residence districts, more objection arose in the land, but as soon as two or three blocks were thus improved, every property owner came forward and asked for sidewalks in front of his property. This was also true when the board set about to discard coal oil lamps lighting the thoroughfares and to replace them with electric areas, but as soon as the magnificent electric illumination was 27 per cent increase the past year, and the northern and eastern business out of Santa Ana showed an increase of 67 per cent, Kruckman said.

PROSPECTS for the eventual establishment of a Northern Orange County Junior college are growing better, but there is still a disagreement between Anaheim and Fullerton relative to the location of the school.

W. Scott Passes Away at His Home Sunday Afternoon Winfield W. Scott, one of Anaheim's oldest and most respected citizens, died at his home, 120 East Alberta street, Sunday afternoon, at the age of 77. He had been in ill health for many months. Mr. Scott had been a resident of Anaheim for 37 years. He was born in Kentucky, but came to California 44 years ago, the last 37 years of his life having been spent here. He was a builder and contractor in his younger days, and was also a pioneer in citrus growing on the east side. He is survived by his widow, Rachael; three sons, and one daughter. The sons are Wallace of this city, Frank of Los Angeles, and Clark of Burbank, and the daughter is Mrs. H. K. Hedges of Los Angeles. Decased was a member of the Presbyterian church, and Rev. Thomas H. Walker, pastor of that church, conducted the funeral services at Backs. Terry & Campbell's parlors yesterday morning. The palbearers were all old friends of the deceased, being G. W. Sandilands, L. E. Miller, W. M. Wickett, O. H. Renner, Charles Hogan, and Stuart Cargill. The burial was in Rosedale cemetery, Los Angeles. When cement sidewalks were about to be laid in residence districts, more objection arose in the land, but as soon as two or three blocks were thus improved, every property owner came forward and asked for sidewalks in front of his property. This was also true when the board set about to discard coal oil lamps lighting the thoroughfares and to replace them with electric arcs, but as soon as the magnificent electric illumination was brought about, every man in town approved the action of the trustees and asked for arcs on his street. When the city park was created and other improvements made, there was further opposition, but there is not a taxpayer in town today who does not approve the installation of these adjuncts to civilization. Now the trustees are engaged in the praiseworthy task of installing ornamental lights and planting shade trees in the parking. There is another outcry about the unnecessary expense, and idle reports are current reflecting upon the integrity of the board. Of course, not a man in town believes them. The city trustees are animated by the sole purpose of beautifying and improving the town, and they have always been animated by the same high purpose. They have the support of the thinking men and women of the community. They have given us a splendid municipal water system and have taken care of the interests of the people in every particular. Our tax rate is one of the lowest in the state, and due to their splendid business management of the municipality, our taxes are among the lowest in the commonwealth. We believe the city trustees are entitled to the endorsement of the people at the city election. They are giving us an economical, business administration and should be continued in office. It is perfectly proper for citizens to criticize the city government, if criticism is warranted, and if the good of the municipality will be conserved thereby. When criticism is constructive and well meaning, it is welcomed by every governing body in the land. It is perfectly proper to have this sort of criticism during municipal campaigns or at any other time. But when a coterie of Johnny come-latelles, whose coat-tails have not yet become warm in the community set about to parcel out "them offices" to themselves, and they weep and wall about the dishonest city administration, the people know what they are caterwauling about and that their criticism is nothing but insincere flapdooole. They cannot bring cumely upon the city administration. That game has been played here before, and it is getting awfully thin. As the junior college project would fit with either the 6-3-3-2 plan or the 6-4-4 plan, it was believed that it would meet general approval through-out the district, as the first step in a general expansion program for schools in the Fullerton Union high school district and in northern Orange county. Directors of the Fullerton Chamber of Commerce went on record definitely include only Anaheim and Brea-Ollinda Union high school districts with Fullerton. Although no definite action opposing the possible entrance of Orange, Garden Grove, and Huntington Beach into the district was taken to preclude approval of such a procedure, it was stated that if those districts desired to send their students to the northern county school, there could not be any objection. S. C. Hartranft urged caution in plans for the formation of the union junior college district. He pointed out that disincorporation of the Fullerton district to form a union district might be disastrous unless all concerned kept faith with the suggested plan by which Brea-Ollinda and Anaheim might be annexed by petition and action of the state educational heads and the county board of supervisors, to form the proposed union district. Legal aspects of the matter are to be studied particularly by the committee. Fay L. Bailey cycle officer Barnett, to devote his lady, Mrs. E. complaint e Santa Ana.

The Pasadena committee is planning a most unusual exhibit, consisting of a huge cave built of oranges, inside of which a miniature reproduction of the New Year flesta will rotate. The cave will be large enough for people to walk through and will probably be one of the most unusual exhibits. Sale of space in the industrial tent has begun, and many firms throughout the state are showing more than usual interest. More than 25 spaces were sold on the first day, and requests for reservations are coming in every day. The industrial tent will be considerably larger than last year and will contain 136 booths.

Store celebrated the twenty-first anniversary of its career under its present name and under the Sudden Death From Apoplectic Stroke Elmer Goodrich Drops Dead in Odd Fellows' Hall Sunday Stricken with apoplexy while attending to his duties as janitor of the Odd Fellows' hall, Sunday morning, Elmer Goodrich fell to the floor and, it is believed, expired almost immediately. The body was discovered by Mrs. Margaret Buttree, music teacher, at 11 o'clock, and a physician, who was hastily summoned, stated that he had been dead about an hour. He was 61 years of age. Mr. Goodrich was a contractor and builder and had been a resident of Anaheim for the past 20 years. In addition to being caretaker of the Odd Fellows lodge, he has served as recording secretary of that order for many years. He was also a Mason, and a member of the Knights Templar commandery at Red Bluff. Mr. Goodrich was a widower, his wife having died 11 years ago, but he leaves three children: Erma, aged 16; Carlton, 15; and Stanley, aged 16. He also leaves a brother in Kansas and sister living in Nebraska. The body was taken to the funeral establishment of Backs, Terry & Campbell, and the orphaned children are being (taken care of by Mr. and Mrs. Frank Gates. Ranger Will Speak To Parent-Teachers Chief of Yellowstone Park Force to Address Organization While the people of Southern California are basking in the warm sunshine, the rangers to whom is entrusted the patrolling of the world's greatest game preserve in Yellowstone national park contend with temperatures of from 40 to 60 degrees below zero. While trees and flowers are blooming here, the park is covered with snow 14 to 16 feet deep. While on every hand there is game of every sort to be taken with the greatest ease, the ranger is not allowed to shoot it, and subsists during the winter on beef or pork and canned goods. These and scores of other interesting facts are related by Philip Martindale. By Present Owners Was Small Country Store When Messrs. Schumacher, Quarton and Renner Bought It From Sam Federman; Has Had a Phenomenal Growth, and Has Grown to Be One of Largest Dry Good Stores in County YESTERDAY the S. Q. R. Store celebrated the twenty-first anniversary of its career under its present name and under the present management. This is the pioneer dry goods store of the pioneer dry goods store of Anaheim, as previous to its acquisition. 21 years ago, by Messrs. Schumacher, Quarton & Renner it was owned by Sam Federman, who had conducted it for a quarter of a century. On March 14, 1907, three young men, Oscar Renner, A. E. Schumacher, and W. P. Quarton purchased the business of Federman. Renner was clerk in the store at the time, and Schumacher was clerking in a grocery store. The new proprietors, adopting a name from their initials, called it the "S. Q. R." store, and it still flourishes under that name, although Mr. Quarton, several years ago, disposed of his interests to his partners and engaged in horticultural pursuits. When these young men purchased the business, it was a very small affair, and the three were amply able to handle the business without the aid of clerks. Now more than twenty employees are kept busy waiting on customers. When the new proprietors took charge of the business it was located in the old Schumacher building, at the northeast corner of Center and Los Angeles streets, where the Golden State Bank building now stands. In the course of years, increasing business forced them to seek a larger building, consequently a deal was made with Emil Dreyfus, owner of the southwest corner of the same streets. The old building, formerly occupied by Stern Brothers, was located on the ground, but it was torn down by Mr. Dreyfus and the present structure erected. With the ground floor and the basement, running the full length of the building, gave the store' ample room for the time, but eventually the proprietors found themselves cramped for space; consequently they determined to build their own home. They purchased of the Knights of Pythias the southwest corner of Center and Lemon streets. The old Dickel building, where Herman Dickel conducted a grocery and hardware store for several decades, occupied the ground. This building had been the pride of Anaheim at one time, but it was demolished, and the present S. Q. R. block erected on the site. It was built especially for the business, and is perfectly equipped to fit the needs of the store. It is now one of the finest and largest dry goods emporiums in Orange county, and is still growing. The three young men who began their mercantile career with Sam Federman's ancient store, 21 years ago, have suc- Motor Traffic Officer Sued for Divorce Fay L. Barnett, Anaheim city motorcycle officer, allowed his wife, Jessie L. Barnett, to support herself while he devoted his attentions to another young lady, Mrs. Barnett charged in a divorce complaint on file in superior court, Santa Ana. The officer's attentions to the girl became so marked that her parents took her to Europe in order to separate the pair, Mrs. Barnett alleges. The girl wrote letters back to Barnett, addressing them in care of the Anaheim police station, the divorce complaint states. Barnett, his wife said, rejected her requests that he cease devoting attention to the other woman. Harry D. Riley, Orange county automobile dealer, resigned as president of the Crippled Children's Relief Association of Orange County at the monthly meeting in Anaheim last week, and Earl Morrow, of Santa Ana, vice-president of the association, was named to the position. Riley has been head of the organization for some time. He becomes exalted ruler of the Anaheim Elks' lodge next week and in submitting his resignation stated that he would be unable to do justice to both offices. Morrow is district manager for the Pacific Telegraph and Telephone Company. Mrs. Thomas McFadden, of Anaheim, was elected vice-president. A report of the association's activities during the past month was given by Mrs. Gertrude Crowell, of Santa Ana, superintendent.
