Reid Was Chosen Secretary For Sixth Time; Reid Advises a Membership Drive to Increase the Roll; Orange Show Receipts Paid All Bills and Left Surplus At a meeting of the board of directors of the Anaheim Chamber of Commerce, held at the Elks' clubhouse Thursday, new officers were elected for the coming year in accordance with the custom of that body. Leonard Evans was chosen to succeed F. A. Yungbluth, who retired after a year's service, and H. H. Benjamin was chosen vice-president. George W. Reid was re-elected to the post of secretary, having served in that capacity since 1923. During his years of service Mr. Reid has proven himself an able man for the difficult post, and his retention on the job is a just recognition of his valuable services. The new board of directors is composed of F. A. Yungbluth, H. E. W. Barnes, F. A. Backs, Lotus H. Loudon, W. H. Schureman, H. N. White, Dr. H. A. Johnston and S. W. Todd. The office of treasurer was left unfilled at this time but is expected to be filled at the next meeting of the board. This office is usually discharged by one of the local banks. With financial reports on the chamber of commerce and on the Eighth Annual California Valencia Orange Show, presented by Secretary Reid, before them, the directors engaged in a very optimistic discussion of the chamber's coming year's activities and of next year's orange show. The chamber of commerce report revealed all bills paid and a substantial balance on hand to begin the new year's work, though the secretary pointed out the need of extending the membership of the organization to some extent in order adequately to provide for the increased demands upon the booster body during the coming year. Secretary Reid stated that there are now 225 members on the rolls, whereas, to be properly effective and properly representative of Anaheim, at least 300 members should be enrolled. He pointed out that no determined membership campaign had been launched for two years and gave it as his opinion that the time is now ripe for an appeal of this kind for more active and widespread support to the chamber in its important work. The report on the recent orange show revealed all bills paid with a substantial profit to be carried over to start off next year's exhibition and to pay lease rentals as they fall due. Following the reading of this report the directors entered enthusiastically into an informal discussion of plans for next year's orange exhibition. Plans were also discussed for entering an exhibit in the Pacific Southwest Exhibition to be held in Long Beach. Tells Story of Ship Wreck Steamer Los Angeles Runs On Rock Off Coast of Monterey With Local Passengers Speaking to a party of friends in town on Tuesday afternoon, Frank Ey, formerly mayor of this city and later mayor of Santa Ana, related the story of the sinking of the Steamer Los Angeles, while his wife and two sons, Frank and George, were among the passengers, on the rocks off Monterey Point April 21, 1894. Mrs. Ey and her son, Frank, and family have just returned from an automobile outing in the Yosemite. They journeyed westward into Monterey county, but she did not go to the coast to see the light-house, which was the scene of her harrowing experiences 34 years ago. She and her two sons left Newport for San Francisco, intending to visit the Mid-Winter Fair. When the Los Angeles reached a point off the Monterey shore the following night the vessel ran aground. Mrs. Ey and a number of ladies, attired in their night garments were hastily placed in a life boat, of which the chief engineer assumed control. Fearing to run upon the rocks he rowed out to sea. The two boys and other children were placed in life boats and rowed ashort, where they scrambled over the rocks to a place of safety. Seventeen passengers were drowned, but the rest of the passengers and crew were vsaed. The boat containing the ladies was rowed out for some distance when the chief engineer deserted them and swam start a term of six months imposed on him. Wallace asked for a transfer from the Los Angeles jail to the jail here and it was granted by Federal Judge Henning. He has been free since his conviction, having secured a stay of execution until midnight last. Wallace was arrested with Orlo night. Hobbs, Orange man, and Herb Eldred, Santa Ana, and Claude Williams, in connection with the case and was the only one of the four convicted. Hobbs and Eldred never went to trial and Williams was found not guilty by a jury. Williams was a prisoner in the county jail at the time of the theft, working as a trusty around the courthouse building. The liquor was taken from the county courthouse to the Hobbs ranch, where it was buried, according to evidence brought out at Wallace's trial. It was never recovered. The liquor was placed in the court house after being captured in a number of raids staged by sheriff's officers during that part of the year. At the completion of the sentence, Wallace also will have to pay a fine of $250, the court ruled.

Therefore, be it resolute club thank Honorable Schumacher president, and bers of the board of your most excellent supervision during the past. Further be it resolved most sincerely appresses its thanks for now in the prevention cing in this county by co- employing special othe highways and byw Court Baliff Thinks Of Changing Signals Bailiff Fred Humiston of Superior Judge E. J. Marks' court has decided upon a change in signals. His decision was reached when a woman in the audience misunderstood his signal for silence. Two middle-aged women were in the front row, engaged in a lively chat under their breathe. It came forward to the bench as an audible mumble that disturbed the court. Humiston employed his customary signal for silence, placing one finger on his lips and then thrusting it toward the offending spectators, to attract their attention. This time he succeeded admirably. One of the women observed him and her face brightened. With a coy smile, she blew a kiss back at Humiston. The scandalized bailiff retreated to chambers, while Deputy Court Clerk Elmer Schaniel suffered silently from internal spasms. The scene recalled a recent incident in Superior Judge H. G. Ames' court, when the dignity of the court was threatened for a few moments. At an emotional crisis in a trial, some one in the audience snickered. Judge Ames rapped on the bench smartly for order. He was astonished and shocked when a burst of applause followed. The spectators, keyed up by the incident of the trial, thought the Judge was leading the applause. Dr. and Mrs. C. O. Patterson entertained Mr. and Mrs. T. L. Patterson of Los Angeles and Mrs. Frew Rodman of Van Nuys during the past week. The boat containing the ladies was rowed out for some distance when the chief engineer deserted them and swam ashore. He sustained such injuries by being dashed upon the rocks that he died shortly thereafter. Mrs. Ey and her associates drifted about in the open boat for hours looking for the steamer Eureka, south bound from San Francisco, which was due to arrive during the night. After waiting a long time, they saw a faint light on the horizon to the north, this was the forward light of the Eureka, which soon came abreast of them. The ladies were taken aboard and the vessel proceeded to the scene of the wreck, picking up many passengers from life boats. All were landed safely at Monterey, and were taken to San Francisco. Mrs. Ey was met by relatives and taken to their home. She did not know where her boys were for she had neither seen nor heard of them since the wreck, but two days later they were brought to her family's home. She was utterly prostrated, and remained under the care of physicians for several weeks. As she was leaving Monterey for San Francisco on the train a lady kindly offered her 50 cents for carfare, but she refused it. The lady tossed the silver coin into her lap, where it was found later in the day. Mr. Ey still retains the coin. His home was burglarized some years ago, but the coin was not taken. Frank Ey, Jr., occupies the responsible position of assistant district attorney in Los Angeles. He drove with his family and his mother to the Yosemite last week. He wished to visit the Monterey lighthouse, but his mother objected. They enjoyed a very pleasant outing and are now in the best of health and spirits.

The lar MANAGERS OF EXCHANGE ASSOCIATIONS LINE UP IN HIS SUPPORT Resolution Lauding Him For His Work in the Past Unanimously Adopted; Thanks Extended to Entire Board For Its Loyalty to and Support of the Industry; Night Patrol of Highways Cited As Example Managers of the nine citrus associations, comprising the Northern Orange County Citrus Exchange, have unanimously endorsed the candidacy of William Schumacher for re-election as a member of the board of supervisors. These associations are all within the third district which has been so ably represented by Mr. Schumacher for many years past. This action was taken at a meeting of the Managers' club recently. While Mr. Schumacher was especially mentioned because he represents this district, thanks were extended to the entire board because of its generous attitude toward the citrus growers. The board was praised for its recent order directing a night patrol of highways by special officers in the northern district to protect the orchards from thieves who early in the season began a campaign of robbery that would have cost the growers many thousands of dollars. The newspaper men of the county recently met, every paper in the district being represented, and gave Mr. Schumacher unanimous endorsement. With the newspapers and the packing house managers solidly behind him, it looks like Mr. Schumacher is slated for re-election, notwithstanding the efforts of a political ring in Santa Ana to defeat him. Following are the resolutions adopted by the citrus managers at their meeting: "Whereas, the North Orange County Managers club, composed of the managers of the nine exchange associations in Northern Orange county, is vitally interested in the success of citrus growers and the citrus industry, and Whereas, we have many times called upon your honorable body for assistance and official aid, and Whereas, we have always received a most hearty welcome and support from your honorable body, and Whereas, our own supervisor, Honorable William Schumacher, has cooperated to the fullest extent on all occasions, Therefore, be it resolved, that this club thank Honorable William Schumacher, president, and all other members of the board of supervisors for your most excellent support and co-operation during the past, and Further be it resolved, that this club most sincerely appreciates and expresses its thanks for your assistance now in the prevention of orange thieving in this county by offering rewards and employing special officers to patrol the highways and byways at night, as can Legion worker from Fullerton, is superintendent of the community feature displays.

This department is receiving special attention this season and it is expected that some marvelous results will be obtained through the efforts of the nurserymen of the county in their effort to produce a pleasing garden effect in the agricultural department of the fair. R. K. Bishop, of Orange, well known raiser of bees, is taking over the work in this department, and Mrs. W. H. Thomas of Santa Ana, has been appointed superintendent of the department of aviculture and will have an excellent display of birds for the fair. Next Year’s Crop to Be Record Breaker Bumper Yield of Valencias Expected in This Section Favorable weather conditions aiding the "set," the valencia orange crop for 1929 gives indication of being one of the heaviest in recent years, a general survey of local conditions disclosed. That the heavy crop prospect is general throughout the valencia districts of the state, was also revealed by the opinions expressed by individuals in touch with the citrus industry. C. C. Chapman, known as the father of the valencia orange industry, said: "The new valencia crop is very promising. It gives indication of being best we have had in some years. Everything has been favorable, no hot weather and a light drop, with a heavy set of fruit." The oranges are developing excellently and are generally of good size. They should now be strong enough to withstand the ordinary hot weather of the summer months. "If all goes well, the 1929 valencia crop will be exceptionally heavy." Dale King, manager of the Northern Orange County Citrus exchange, declared that conditions had been exceptionally good thus far this season. The heavy set is general throughout the valencia districts, he said, and indications now point to much better than an average good crop. If climatic conditions continue favorable, pest control is effectively maintained and the electrical winds are not too heavy or frequent a record breaking crop may be anticipated.

One of the most pleasing of the many entertainments planned for the Greek Theatre during the summer months was given Monday evening as part of the children's recreational program mapped out by the managers in charge. A "Pageant of Patriots" was the name of the performance, and sixty children participated. Four episodes in American history were depicted beginning with "Pocahontas." The next was "Ferry Farm Episode," then followed "Abraham Lincoln," followed by "The Crowning of Peace." The whole was under direction of Mrs. Agnes Messor-smith. A reading on the "Spirit: Of Patriotism," presented by Mary Ardais, furnished the prologue to the pageant.

Joe Collings was elected vice-president to fill Steward's former place, and George F. Howard was chosen a director. An address on "Community Vision" featured the program at the regular weekly noon-day luncheon at the Elks' clubhouse with Thomas Pickerill, secretary of the Placenta Chamber of Commerce, as the speaker. Mr. Pickerill, sociology of Kiwanis clubs, is syndicate secretary of the Indiana state ascending epilgrams which he writes for newspapers, and he repeated several of his writings for the entertainment of the Kiwanians. "People of a community are drawn together by one of two things," said the speaker. "Sorrow, calamity or grief will unite a community, as will joy, happiness and pleasure." Therefore if you would get your entire community to work as a unit you must appeal to them through the major emotions of sorrow or joy." "If all goes well, the 1929 valencia crop will be exceptionally heavy." Dale King, manager of the Northern Orange County Citrus exchange, declared that conditions had been exceptionally good thus far this season. The heavy set is general throughout the valencia districts, he said, and 'indications now point to much better than an average good crop. If climatic conditions continue favorable, pest control is effectively maintained and the electrical winds are not too heavy or frequent a record breaking crop may be anticipated. King declared. However, he pointed out that these conditions must first be passed in the development of the fruit before the grower can count his returns. The first preliminary crop estimate of the Citrus exchange is made about September 7. King pointed out. At that time some idea of the exact scope of the crop may be obtained. A more effective estimate on which plans for the coming season are based, is made by the exchange in November. King added. Maimed Woman Asks $29,000 Damage Three damages suits, aggregating $45,375 in claims, were filed in superior court, Santa Ana, against Ben Yorba, rancher, residing at 725 North Clementine street, Anaheim.

Prisoner Attempts To Kill Himself Making Two Efforts But Both Were Futile Failing in a second attempt to take his own life, John Coleman, aged confessed murderer, is back in the hospital awaiting the arrival of Sheriff Doolittle of Lake county. Ill. with extradition papers to take him to Waukegan to face triflion on a 13-year-old crime. Coleman was questioned at the county hospital by Sergeant John Gregory of Fullerton and Lieutenant R. T. Shields of the Chicago, Milwaukee and St. Paul railroad, but denied any connection with the murder to which he confessed to Fullerton police more than a week ago. Efforts to get Coleman to sign a statement confessing his part in the crime were fruitless and all the officers could get from the aged fugitive was a continuous and emphatic denial of the story he related to Fullerton police. Coleman attempted to take his life by cutting his throat with a safety razor blade while in the county jail last week, but was given emergency treatment at the county hospital and the wound healed.. He attempted to open the wound with his fingers it was said and as a result is back in the hospital with his hands manacles.

M. Backs. For Backs is busily at work signing his name 1300 times. The Job was not imposed by any other than duty, however. But each signature must be written on a separate document and that does not make the task any less arduous. The county clerk is charged with placing his name on 1300 real estate conveyances to the state. The property involved has been allowed by its owners to become delinquent on taxes. After five years in the state's pocket, it will be sold to private individuals if not redeemed. Backs said. The larger part consists of RURAL CARRIERS TRAVEL LONG DISTANCES ANAHEIM'S FOUR MAILMEN COVER 158 MILES OF ROAD EACH DAY Serve 1500 Families on Their Daily Trips; Carry Mail to Within Half a Mile of the Los Angeles County Line; and Almost to the Riverside Line; Never Has a Carrier Failed to Make His Rounds There have been many changes and Propaganda Hit By Supervisors Condemn San Francisco Paper For Aiding Power Plant The Orange county board of supervisors Tuesday condemned recent stories in the San Francisco Bulletin as giving aid and comfort to the "power trust" in its attempts to secure control of resources of the Colorado river. The body passed the following resolution: "Whereas, the importance of the proposed Boulder canyon project to the future growth and welfare of California, particularly Southern California and the whole southwest, involving as it does flood protection, irrigation and reclamation, rescue of Imperial valley from Mexican control of its water supply and domestic water for many cities in Southern California, cannot be overestimated and whereas the San Francisco Bulletin has been lending itself to vicious, unwarranted and untruthful attacks upon the Swing-Johnson bill, now pending in Congress, to carry such project into effect, and upon the proponents and supporters of such legislation, thus giving to the utility corporations, commonly known as the "power trust," aid and comfort in their efforts to defeat such legislation, and secure for their own benefit the control of the power resources of the Colorado river, therefore be it resolved that the board of supervisors of Orange county does deplore and condemn such attacks of the San Francisco Bulletin as unwarranted by the facts and as an attempt to betray and injure the vital interests of California." Anaheim Pastor Goes East Soon The Rev. O. R. Schroeder, pastor of the Anaheim German Baptist church. ANAHEIM'S FOUR MAILMEN COVER 158 MILES OF ROAD EACH DAY Serve 1500 Families on Their Daily Trips; Carry Mail to Within Half a Mile of the Los Angeles County Line, and Almost to the Riverside Line; Never Has a Carrier Failed to Make His Rounds There have been many changes and extensions in the rural mail delivery which serves so many patrons from the Anaheim postoffice, and the latest one went into effect the first of July. Postmaster Whitaker reports that persons living within half a mile of the Los Angeles county line to the west of us, and within a stone's throw of the Riverside county line on the east, receive their mail at Anaheim and it is delivered to them by the faithful carriers who daily make their trips, never being deterred by floods, fires, storms or any other discouraging visitation. Since the establishment of the system here in 1853 never has a carrier or his substitute in case of sickness, failed to make the trip on schedule time. When the system was established there were three routes out of this city, two more being added afterward. Some years ago the five were consolidated into four, the present number. These four carriers travel 158 miles each day and serve 1500 families, probably 6000 people. Since the latest extension the distance traveled by each of the carriers and the direction they take are as follows: Route 1—C. W. Hedges, carrier; distance, 40 miles. Extends west and south to near Garden Grove. Route 2—Geo. M. Tedrick, carrier; distance, 33 miles. Goes west to within half mile of Cypress, then north to Orangethorpe avenue. Route 3—Wm. J. Liewellyn, carrier; distance, 46½ miles, north and east through Olive and Santa Ana Canyon. Route 4—C. P. J. Johnson, carrier; distance, 38½ miles. Extends southeast and south to Chapman avenue, and west to the river. These carriers probably serve as many people as the entire postoffice did at the time the rural delivery was established, as the population of Anaheim was small 35 years ago, and the rural sections were sparcely settled. Mr. Whitaker states that each succeeding year the postoffice shows an increase in business. At the close of the fiscal year, June 30, the records showed an increase over last year of two thousand dollars. Occasionally there will be a slump for a month, but the final figures for the year always show an increase over the previous one. Anaheim Pastor Goes East Soon The Rev. O. R. Schroeder, pastor of the Anaheim German Baptist church, has been granted a two-months' vacation by the board of the church and is expecting to leave next week on a trip by train to various middle western cities. The Rev. Mr. Schroeder's main objective will be Chicago, his old home, where he will attend the general conference of the German Baptist Church of America, which is to be in session the last week in August. He is expected to be accompanied on his trip East, as far as Omaha, by his two sisters-in-law, Mrs. Cary Kroeger, of Madison, S. D., and Mrs. Lena Kroeger, of Kankakee, Ill., both of whom have been visiting at the Schroeder home for several weeks. ENJOYING VACATION Raymond Nebelung is enjoying a fortnight's well-merited vacation, and has been spending some time at Big Bear lake, where he found the water lower than for many years and the weather much warmer than here at home. He will resume his duties as appraisal of values for a northern banking syndicate the coming week and will visit San Diego and Santa Barbara counties. His territory comprises all of Southern California, where large loans of money have been made by his bank during the past year. He is a graduate of the University of California and was recommended for the position by the University. He spent several years in South Africa as agricultural expert for the Boer government, which is planting large areas to citrus trees. He returned home on account of the serious illness of his father. It won't be long now until every village which boasts of a garage will be opening up an airport. Mr. Whitaker states that each succeeding year the postoffice shows an increase in business. At the close of the fiscal year, June 30, the records showed an increase over last year of two thousand dollars. Occasionally there will be a slump for a month, but the final figures for the year always show an increase over the previous one.
