New Industry Will Open in Anaheim Mutual Citrus Products Co. Purchases Building Here T. E. Taylor and H. T. Lee of Los Angeles have purchased the building on Atchison street, formerly occupied by the Sperry Flour Company. and are transforming it into a citrus products factory. Incorporation papers have been taken out and the company will be known as the Mutual Products Company. The principal product of the plant is to be pectin, which is extracted from citrus fruit, and one of the reasons of the company for locating here is that there is plenty of raw material at hand. The building is now being overhaul and machinery installed, and it is expected it will begin operations within less than two weeks. Mr. Leo is said to be familiar with the principal article to be manufactured here having handled a similar line in New York and Chicago. The new concern plans to market its product in California first later branching out throughout the Northwest and eventually reaching all of the markets in the United States and then to other countries. According to both of the men identified with the new concern this district offers a fertile field for their plant. And they predict their product will find a ready market wherever offered. From an Anaheim standpoint one factor stands forth quite prominently—the men interested in the venture have not asked for any financial assistance and have declared there will be no stock offered for sale here. Both men are declared financially able to conduct the business without local assistance. Postpone Anaheim Welfare Election The program for Friday and Saturday is as follows: Friday at Fremont school, 7:30 p.m., dance contest, and 8:30 p.m., adult choruses; Saturday, at high school, 9 a.m., primary solo and duet divisions; 10:30 a.m., section two, elementary division; 1 p.m., section three, intermediate division; 2:30 p.m., section four, junior division, and 3:30 p.m., section five, senior division.

The Anaheim school captured 35 first places, 33 seconds, and 26 thirds. The five other competing schools and their standings are as follows: Santa Ana Julia Lathrop school, 23 firsts, 22 seconds, and 22 thirds; Santa Ana Mexican school, one first, one second, and one third; Fullerton Union high school, 13 first, 10 seconds, and 14 thirds; Orange Union high school, four first, four seconds, and four thirds, and Tustin Union high school, three firsts, three seconds, and three thirds. 4-H Club Council To Meet Tomorrow The coming meeting of the 4-H Club Council, composed of leaders of the boys' and girls' agricultural clubs of Orange county, promises to be of exceptional interest. Co-operative marketing, the news of activities in other counties, the summer camp, field day, and next month's activities are some of the subjects to be discussed. The meeting will be held in the farm advisor's office, room 110. Hall of Records, Santa Ana, at 7:30 p.m., Friday, April 27. All persons interested in furthering the Junior Agricultural Club work are invited to attend. Postpone Anaheim Welfare Election Lack of a quorum at a meeting of directors of the Anaheim Welfare Chest in the Elks clubhouse prevented the election of officers which had been planned for that time. It had been planned to elect a president to succeed Harry D. Riley, recently resigned, as well as elect a secretary-treasurer and other officers. After an informal discussion of the financial campaign, which the chest plans to sponsor soon in the interest of the Boy Scouts, Girl Scouts, Salvation Army and Cripples Children's Relief Association, it was decided to hold another meeting, May 3 to complete the election of officers. INFORMAL PARTY Miss Eleanora Parker entertained a number of her friends one evening last week, at her home on West Broadway, in honor of Mrs. Nell Hoskins of Texas. Mrs. Louise Wickerstand, and Mrs. M. Schaar of Wisconsin, who are visiting Mr. and Mrs. William De Sombre. The evening was devoted to music and games, and at a late hour refreshments were served by the hostess. There were present Mrs. Nell Hoskins of Dallas, Texas; Mrs. Louise Wickerstand and Mrs. M. Schaar of Pondulac, Wis.; Mrs. T. S. Grimshaw, Mrs. J. B. Kae, Mrs. E. Zimmerman, Mrs. Emma L. River, Mr. and Mrs. William De Sombre. Miss E. Kate Rae, Miss Lulu Runsey, Miss M. Alice Grimshaw, and the hostess, Miss Eleanora Parker. NAHEIM GAZETE Anaheim, California, Thursday, April 26, 1928 HOOL WINS FIRST IN COUN HUNDREDS VIEW I.O.O.F.

Stunt flying, wing walking, and parachute dropping concluded the affairs of the day. HEAVY INCREASE IN VOTERS OF THE STATE REGISTRATION FOR PRIMARY ELECTION TOTALS NEARLY 2,000,000 Orange County Stands Seventh in Enrollment of Its Voters, Leading Everything in South but Los Angeles and San Diego; Anaheim Has Doubled Its Registration During Past 8 Years; Republicans Lead REGISTRATION of voters for the presidential primary on May 1 show the remarkable growth of California's population. The total registration in the state is 1,349,979. All these are eligible to vote at the primary, with the exception of 100,722 who declined to HUNDREDS of people gathered at the city park Sunday afternoon to witness the drill of the fourth regiment, Patriarchs Militant, I. O. O. F. of California. This was the third annual drill, and two hundred members of the various companies composing the regiment participated and went through the work with military precision. Companies were in the drill from Los Angeles, Pasadena, Pomona, San Diego, Whittier, and Santa Ana. The several companies at first drilled separately, but the affair wound up with a regimental drill in which all of them participated. The maneuvers demonstrated that all had been thoroughly drilled. Wives and daughters of the participants were present, and the grandstand was crowded with interested spectators. The convention opened at Santa Ana on Saturday, the session being held there, as the Santa Ana cantonment is the only one in the county. The business session was held there, and Saturday night a grand ball was given, in which all the visitors participated. A school of instruction was held Sunday morning, in which the ladies' auxiliary and the new members were coached. The maneuvers at the park in the afternoon proved that the militant patriarchs had been well drilled. Brigadier General F. P. Toone of Los Angeles was in charge of the program. His assistants included Colonel Harry A. Hartman, San Diego; Lieutenant-Colonel F. H. McMatron, Pomona; Major F. H. C. Turlong, San Diego; Major D. A. C. Turlong, San Angeles, and Major C. M. Baumborough, Whittier. The Fullerton high school band furnished the music and gave a short concert before the drill began. Sunday evening many of the visitors attended the cantata of "Ruth" at the White Temple Methodist Episcopal church, which was presented under the direction of Ellis Rhodes. This cantata had been arranged especially for this occasion, and the program was as follows: Dramatic Reading: "The Story of Ruth" Lois Rees Sacred Cantata: "RUTH" (Gaul) Naomi (Contrato) Mrs. A. L.

Death Overtakes Diener Resident WATER INSURANCE Since the days of the Mission Fathers it has been realized that the prime interest in Southern California is water, and as our state has grown the importance of water has become more and more emphatic. We need a reliable and abundant water supply for domestic use, for our gardens and, more particularly, for fire protection. For the past several weeks this subject has had the attention of our board of trustees in an effort to protect Anaheim from the possibility of an emergency leading to a water shortage. The board is to be congratulated on having the vision and courage to tackle this problem, as their investigations have brought out some facts that every citizen should know. It is gratifying to learn that our wells are adequate to supply a much larger population than we now have. It is not so gratifying to learn that the storage tank on Los Angeles street is not large enough for a city of our size. When built, this tank of 100,000 gallons capacity was ample—but since then we have grown, while the tank has not. The essence of the recent investigations is that we need a much larger storage capacity if we are to be protected against a major emergency. Recently, the board has considered the purchase of a gas engine generator on the theory that it would supply power for the pumps in case of an interruption to the service from the Edison company's lines. This is only a partial step, as it aims at only one of several possible causes of trouble. The ease with which the Edison system carried the power load after the St. Francis dam disaster, indicates that the Edison executives are prepared to render constant service. Even so, something might happen to interrupt electric service in Anaheim. Is a gas engine sufficient insurance in such an event? Should we not provide against a situation which would secure us against an accident to our pumps, or our wells, or a difficulty in getting a gas engine under way in a pinch? If we want to do this, then the only step is to provide adequate water storage in some fashion. Santa Ana has done this by installing a steel tank of 1,000,000 gallons capacity, mounted on a steel structure, at a cost of $66,000. That is twice as much as the proposed engine would cost, but it is better protection because there are no operating or maintenance charges to pay, and Leading Everything in South but Los Angeles and San Diego; Anaheim Has Doubled Its Registration During Past 8 Years; Republicans Lead REGISTRATION of voters for the presidential primary on May 1 show the remarkable growth of California's population. The total registration in the state is 1,349,979. All these are eligible to vote at the primary, with the exception of 100,722 who declined to give a party preference in registering, and 1001 stray sheep who are listed in the miscellaneous column. It looks like the Republicans would have a walk-away in the November election, as 1,254,514 of those registering are enrolled under the G. O. P. banner. The Democrats make a respectable showing, the total for that party being 465,793. Prohibitionists come next with 16,793 while the total for the Socialist party is 11,477. Notwithstanding its small area, Orange county now stands seventh among all the counties of the state in its total registration. Its total is 43,015 an increase of 10,000 over the registration for the November election four years ago, and 21,000 over the figures eight years ago. Of the total on the new roll 30,375 are Republicans, 9,822 Democrats, 165 Socialists, 666 Prohibitionists, 1559 declined to state, and 411 miscellaneous. Following are the figures of totals in the seven largest counties of the state also our neighboring counties: Los Angeles 722,425 San Francisco 208,238 Alameda 198,895 San Diego 75,356 Santa Clara 46,178 Sacramento 44,543 Orange 43,018 San Bernardino 42,308 Riverside 25,017 Santa Barbara 24,608 Imperial 15,882 Ventura 13,428 All the cities of Orange county show a remarkable increase during the past eight years, but Anaheim presents the heaviest percentage of gain having doubled its voting strength during that period. In the following table, the supplementary figures given in the cases of La Habra, Tustin, and Placentia include precincts adjacent to these cities which have incorporated in the interval between 1920 and 1928: May primary Nov.

Eymann, son of the late Mrs. A. Frohling, first white woman married in Anaheim, whose marriage was solemnized November 24, 1859, passed away April 24, 1928, at 3:45 p.m., at the family home, 708 North West street. He was born February 5, 1871, and lived in Anaheim all his life. He was the grandson of Mr. and Mrs. P. Hammes, original shareholders of the vineyard society of Anaheim, who came here from Europe by way of Cape Horn in 1855. He attended school in Anaheim and San Francisco. In the early days he was heavily interested in the grape industry until it was wiped out by disease. He was a large walnut and citrus grower and owner of valuable business properties. He was one of the directors of the first walnut association formed in Anaheim. Mr. Eymann was married January 28, 1901, to Miss Louise Schumacher, who survives him, together with their son, Lealand and daughter, Florence. Among other surviving relatives are a sister, Mrs. Alna Pellegrin of Anaheim, and a brother, Walter C. Eymann of Bell, one piece and three nephews. Services Friday April 27, at 2:30 p.m., from Backs, Terry & Campbell funeral parlor. Interment in family mausoleum in Anaheim cemetery. If we want to do this, then the only step is to provide adequate water storage in some fashion. Santa Ana has done this by installing a steel tank of 1,000,000 gallons capacity, mounted on a steel structure, at a cost of $66,000. That is twice as much as the proposed engine would cost, but it is better protection because there are no operating or maintenance charges to pay. Santa Ana will always have water in reserve. However, Anaheim need not spend any such amount to get protection. At a cost of not more than a thousand dollars, our mains may be connected with the Fullerton mains. Only the width of the road separates the two, and the Fullerton board has expressed a willingness to make such a connection. It is just exactly what the power companies have done by inter-connecting their lines for an exchange of power under emergency conditions. The proposed contract for the purchase of an engine may appear to be a bargain, but it is just the sort of document that leads to litigation. No manufacturer is giving his goods away, and we may sure that Anaheim will have an opportunity to pay the full estimated price. However, that is not the point. We are not primarily interested in saving money on a gas engine. What we want is the best possible protection of our property, and competent engineers agree that this should be furnished by storage. When we consider the many calls on our city treasury, it seems that a proposition to get adequate protection by connecting with the Fullerton mains at a nominal cost of one thousand dollars should have complete consideration before we take a position from which it would be difficult to retreat. Monday, April 30, is the final day for paying county taxes. After that date a penalty will be added. Coroner’s Jury Exonerates Driver Girl Who Ran Down Santa Ana Woman Not to Blame Mrs. Farrilla Ward, an aged lady of Santa Ana, was fatally injured Sunday evening, when she was struck by a car driven by Miss Dorothy Daugherty of Anaheim. Eye witnesses stated that Mrs. Ward stepped directly in front of the car, and the accident was unavoidable on the part of the driver. A coroner's jury Tuesday exonerated the driver of the machine and declared that Mrs. Ward died from internal injuries and a possible fracture of the skull. Mrs. Ward was run down on Church street near the Sycamore street intersection at 9 o'clock Sunday night. She died a short time later in the Santa Ana Valley hospital. Miss Daugherty was the chief witness at the inquest. She testified that she was driving her machine slowly and did not see the woman until she stepped out in front of the lights of the machine. Mrs. Ward threw up her hands, screamed and was struck, she testified. Miss Daugherty testified she stopped the car almost immediately. This bit of evidence was corroborated by several other witnesses who saw the accident.

As nearly as can be reckoned, it has reached a depth of between 4500 and 4700 feet. It is known that the formation has made a decided change within the last few hundred feet. The drill sinks into the softer formation rapidly. The company is proceeding very slowly, taking cores very often. Much time is used in going in and out of the hole which has given rise to rumors of gas pressure and oil showings, etc. There are no authentic reports from which to draw conclusions. At the present rate of progress the hole should be proven within the next few days. The members of the company appear to be hopeful; while they are not saying anything, they carry the air that all is well. All land leasing and land activity is absolutely at a standstill awaiting the final outcome. Real estate operators feel that the Cypress section is in for a boom no matter what the outcome of the well. If the well comes in, of course there will be the usual activities attending oil fields. WORK BEGINS ON CONSTRUCTION OF TENTS HUGE CANVASES NOW IN COURSE OF ERECTION FOR ORANGE SHOW Decorators to Begin as Tents Are Completed; Stage in Feature Tent Enlarged to Accommodate Army of Entertainers; Beautiful Float Entered Today in Los Angeles at Opening of New City Hall THE three great tents that will house the Eighth Annual Valencia Orange Show are now being erected by workmen, and as soon as they are completed artists will begin work on the interior decorations. Workmen have been busy for the past two weeks preparing the FORUM Club Hears Famous Traveler De Witt Hutchings of Riverside Tells of Perils of Desert De Witt V. Hutchings of Riverside, a noted traveler and lecturer, was speaker at the Men's Open Forum Club dinner at White Temple Church Monday evening. Mr. Hutchings has experienced many adventures in his visits to out-of-the-way places of the world, and can relate then entertainingly. His subject Monday night was "By Camel to Bagdad," and he described the perilous trip across the desert. He is a son-in-law of Frank Miller, proprietor of the Mission Inn at Riverside, and his wife accompanied him here and was entertained by the Forum club. How the mechanism of the human eye constructed to receive light and some of the abuses to which many people commonly subject their eyes was the subject of a second talk on last night's program given by R.V. Ludlum, Los Angeles illumination expert. Mr. Ludlum illustrated his talk through the use of a battery of electric lights and a series of charts pointing out the principles of good lighting for homes and offices. "There is no such thing as having too much light," the speaker declared, "but if one has too much light coming in the wrong direction, harmful glare results," he stated. Violin solos by Alan Rains, accompanied by his sister, Miss Marjorie Rains, at the piano; readings by Mrs. Faye Kern Schulz, an instructor in the Anaheim Union high school and baritone solos by Percy W. Olds, leader of the White Temple choir, rounded out the program. Dr. Benjamin S. Haywood, pastor of the church, announced that the Rev. Bob Schuler, Los Angeles militant pastor, would be the principal speaker at the May meeting of the club, discussing "Companionate Marriage." A demonstration of the new television will also feature this meeting, he announced. in Feature Tent Enlarged to Accommodate Army of Entertainers; Beautiful Float Entered Today in Los Angeles at Opening of New City Hall THE three great tents that will house the Eighth Annual Valencia Orange Show are now being erected by workmen, and as soon as they are completed artists will begin work on the interior decorations. Workmen have been busy for past two weeks preparing the grounds, which have been considerably enlarged, the show this year covering twelve acres. Owing to its growing popularity and the fact that the show is now universally recognized as King Valencia's classic, there is a scramble for space in the great tents. The stage in the feature tent, on which the entertainment for the visitors is daily held, has been greatly enlarged to accommodate the performers, and additional space has been added in the other departments. Advertising the show, a float has been entered in the parade at Los Angeles today, which is a part of the ceremonies dedicating the new five million dollar city hall. The float is 9x24 feet, and is mounted on a truck donated for the occasion by August Eltiste, of the Elstie Implement Company. Fred Robins constructed the float. "Aldaddin's Lamp" is the motif for the float. Miss Ada Williams, who has been elected Queen Valencia, to rule over the show, is seated on her throne surrounded by her retinue of pretty girls. All are attired in Chinese costumes. Chinese urns filled with roses are used. The sides of the float carry a banner calling attention to the dates of the orange show—May 24 to June 3—and also display the Chinese dragon. Although additional space has been provided for this year's California Valencia Orange Show at Anaheim, May 24 to June 3, indications are that the number of applications will exceed the available space. It was reported by George W. Reid, manager. In a report to the directors, Mr. Reid said that nearly 100 of the 144 exhibit booths in the industrial tent have been assigned and practically all space has been reserved in the feature exhibit tent. "The usual last ten days' rush of prospective exhibitors seeking space is definitely under way a month before the opening date." Mr. Reid said. "The annual Valencia show, now in its eighth year, has grown to be the principal mid-year exposition in Southern California and is attracting nation-wide attention." Cities and organizations which have reserved space in the feature exhibit tent include San Diego, Long Beach, Los Angeles, Fullerton, Pasadena, Pomona, Anaheim, and the Citrus Exchange. Several other applications for feature exhibit space are in the hands of the management, which is making every effort to allot the remaining space on an equitable basis. GERMAN MUSIC AT EBELL The music section of the Anaheim Elkell Club met at the home of Mrs. Percy Olds on Monday afternoon and spent a delightful afternoon in the study of German music and the lives of the great German composers. Mrs. William Falkenstein, well-known musician, arranged the program and was chairman of the afternoon. Lives of the German composers were considered in papers presented by members of the section: Mrs. G. H. Goodale on Beethoven, Mrs. Holly Markol, Bach; Mrs. H.F. Baker, Mozart; Mrs. J.E. Rodden, Schubert. Mrs. Falkenstein played beautifully Beethoven's "Andante" and Schubert's "Erl King." Miss Hazel Filer followed with Schubert's "Fourth Impromptu." Edward Burns, cellist, gave "Cradle Song" and "Serenade" (Schubert), accompanied by Mrs. Kate McCullah on the piano. Miss Freda Lumsdon sang "Praise of God" (Beethoven) and "To Music" (Schubert), accompanied on the piano by Miss Virginia Long. Miss Geraldine Dolan, pianist, offered two movements of "Moonlight Sonata" (Beethoven). Percy W. Olds, accompanied by Mrs. Olds on the piano, presented two vocal solos, "The Wanderer" and "Morning Greeting" (Schubert). Each number of the wonderful classical program was beautifully rendered, and was highly enjoyed by the audience. Tea was served at the close of the afternoon by Mrs. A. Nagle and Mrs. H.R.Pearson. Cities and organizations which have reserved space in the feature exhibit tent include San Diego, Long Beach, Los Angeles, Fullerton, Pasadena, Pomona, Anaheim, and the Citrus Exchange. Several other applications for feature exhibit space are in the hands of the management, which is making every effort to allot the remaining space on an equitable basis. Carrying out plans for a radio department, an innovation this year, the directors have appointed C.B. Goodson, Anaheim radio dealer, to have charge of this feature. One entire section of the industrial tent has been reserved for the radio trade. Election Supplies Being Distributed It was nearly midnight Monday when County Clerk J.M. Backs and his assistants finished tying up the supplies that will be used in the 174 precincts of the county at next Tuesday's primary election. "That's one more step toward getting the next President elected," Backs remarked as Earl Abey, deputy clerk, loaded his car with the official documents and began to plant them at different points throughout this region. Abey will be busy until next Monday night completing his job. Backs said. And that won't be much too soon, for the primary election will demand attention on the following day. Already ballot boxes and booths are being scattered. However, Backs' work will not be over until after the November election, and since March 31, when registration of voters closed, he has been on the run completing arrangements for the coming political event, as well as recording, tabulating and reporting the party affiliations of over 40,000 voters.
