From 10,000 to 20,000 trees have been ordered by each of the three largest organizations in the Southland, J. G. Leavens of Santa Paula; Janns Investment company of Los Angeles, and the Santa Fe rancho, San Diego county, it was stated. Orange county ranchers also have made arrangements to procure trees, it was stated. A number of new orchards are being started in this section of the state as thousands of acres of land, hitherto undeveloped are being opened and subdivided. It was pointed out by citrus nurserymen that the small stock available for planting next year will bring an unusually high price. DR. ZAISER AT ROTA LUNCHE COUNTY HOSPITAL GROWTH SUBJ HIS DISCOU Shows Its Wonderful and Its Wise and Management During Years; Compare With Other Newkirk Declares Schumacher Large sible For Good Re The rapid growth of County hospital during years, and the splendid rendered the public, we Dr. Harry Zalser, sup As the supervisorial campaign progresses, and the date of the primary election draws nearer, it becomes more evident that William Schumacher, the present representative, is far in the lead in the three-cornered race, and that his re-election is practically assured. The people of the third district owe their endorsement to Mr. Schumacher, considering his loyal and efficient labors in their behalf during the many years he has served on the board, and in all probability a great majority of the voters recognize this and will give him their hearty support. During the first few years of his incumbency Schumacher acquired the name of being a road builder. Nearly all the highways of this, the largest, most populous and wealthiest district in the county, were dirt roads, as little effort had been made to improve them. Schumacher began a systematic campaign for better roads in his district. He forced a just recognition of the district's rights. The present wonderful system of paved and oilled roads prove his capable and energetic work. Only a year ago he fought manfully to prevent a portion of the county road fund being used to pave the city streets of Santa Ana. The gasoline tax had been apportioned by the state and when the time came for a division among the several supervisorial districts of the county the first district, comprising only the incorporated city of Santa Ana, laid claim to its quota. Schumacher opposed this claim on the ground that the law distinctly stipulated the money was to be used on county roads and not for paving city streets. Supervisor Mitchell voted with him, but the other three voted against him. The Santa Ana representatives were jubilant, but Schumacher read a section of the California statute which declared that to divert money from a county fund to a municipality required a four to one vote instead of a bare majority. He won and as a result many thousand dollars was thus added to the rural highway funds. For this reason certain politicians and bosses in Santa Ana desire his defeat. It is said that propaganda stimulating opposition to him has emanated from that city, and as election day approaches there will probably be much more, unless the men responsible awaken to the fact that their efforts to compass his defeat will only result in increasing his vote. The voters of the district will resent the interference of any outsiders in an election in which they alone have a voice. A few weeks ago the newspaper men of the third district met at the Elks' clubhouse in this city and unanimously adopted a resolution endoring his reelection. Recognizing his services in the city and his value to the district Angeles, and the Santa Fe rancho, San Diego county, it was stated. Orange county ranchers also have made arrangements to procure trees. It was stated. A number of new orchards are being started in this section of the state as thousands of acres of land, hitherto undeveloped are being opened and subdivided. It was pointed out by citrus nurserymen that the small stock available for planting next year will bring an unusually high price. Nelson Edwards For State Senator Orange Man Is Eminently Fitted For the Position For more than fifty years a resident of Orange county, throughout his business career actively identified with the development of that commonwealth, banker, farmer, public official with four years of service on the State Highway Commission. Nelson T. Edwards of Orange, candidate for the Republican nomination for state senator from the Thirty-ninth district, offers a remarkably complete preparation for the duties of public office. That he is familiar with the problems of the counties of Riverside, Orange and Imperial follows naturally his long association with the affairs of the district. In highway matters he may be described as a specialist. He is always found on the right side of moral questions. He is practical, capable and experienced. In his first statement in the campaign, Mr. Edwards said: "In announcing my candidacy for state senator on the Republican ticket for the Thirty-ninth district, I act in the belief that I am able to bring to service of the people of the district an experience with and special knowledge of some of the major problems of the district that a candidate should possess. "With four years' experience on the State Highway Commission following several years on the Highway Commission of Orange county and membership on the board of supervisors of that county, I feel that I am competent to deal with questions affecting the highway problem in the Thirty-ninth district. I consider this to be one of the major problems affecting this district." "Having been for many years engaged in the agriculture business with interests in the orange growing section of Orange county as well as in the Imperial and Yuma valleys, I feel that I have a thorough understanding of farm problems, including water, finance, promotion of cultural methods and the protection of California agriculture through strict quarantine enforcement. Agriculture I hold to be one of the chief interests of the district, meriting Shows Its Wonderful and Its Wise and Management During Years; Compare With Other County Newkirk Declares Schumacher Large-sible For Good Reasons."

He stated of the credit for the management of the hospital Supervisor William Schumacher served many years as mitteeman for the inmate Schumacher's election and the board of supervisors was given the hospital prosecution. Dr. Zalser reported administration of the hospital $136,000 had been spent in permanent imposition on the farm and hospital project addition to the nurses'ONG $12,000 and a new tubercular patients, no obstruction, to cost $44,000. To finance these expenses well as the current operation of the hospital has been depended entirely upon its share tax assessed by the court he said. He pointed out assessment is used, not hospital but also to maintain health and welfare deprivation. Income from the farm year $32,000, which provides assistance in keeping operating at maximum income was derived from crops and oranges, he stated.

The voters of the district will resent the interference of any outsiders in an election in which they alone have a voice. A few weeks ago the newspaper men of the third district met at the Elks' clubhouse in this city and unanimously adopted a resolution endorsing his reelection. Recognizing his services in the past and his value to the district in the future the newspapers are solidly behind him. A "Schdmacher-For-Supervisor" club was organized here, men and women from all sections of the district being enrolled. Saturday night his home town, Buena Park, organized another one. La Habra citizens also have called a meeting for the purpose of organizatin, a Schumacher club, and in all likelihood every town in the district will have a booster club behind the supervisor before the primary election. These clubs are composed of people of all political shades—men and women who believe it would be an inexcusable blunder on the part of the voters of the third district should they defeat him. DR. HAYWOOD RETURNING Rev. Dr. Haywood of White Temple church, who has been on his vacation in the North with Mrs. Haywood for some weeks past, writes from the Yosemite Valley that he and his wife are enjoying their stay in that wonderland of nature, and are leaving for San Francisco for a week's visit. They will then turn southward, traveling on easy stages, and are due to arrive home sometime about the first of the month. The doctor has experienced great benefit from his vacation trip, but adds that he will be glad to arrive home again and meet his many friends here. The latter are of a similar way of thinking and are planning a joyous welcome home for their distinguished pastor and his good wife. TOURING BRITISH ISLES Mr. and Mrs. Carl Leonard, who left in May for a tour of several months in Europe, are in London with their daughter, Miss Frances, and will visit in England, Scotland and Wales for a month when they will return home. They met their daughter in Paris, where she has been taking lessons in vocal culture for a year. They spent several months on the continent, and will tour Great Britain during the coming month. On their return they will spend some days visiting relatives and friends at Wilkesbarre, Pa. They are enjoying a very pleasant outing abroad, and have visited many different countries. City Manager Price is mailing Mr. Leonard copies of the Gazette, keeping them informed on local happenings while abroad.

Instead of quarrelling with him she goes to town and purchases a new piece of furniture, charging it to him. When he sobers up he pays the bill without comment, and harmony is never disturbed in that house. To a caller to whom he was relating the story the husband said: "Well, take a look around this room," he said. "Every time I get drunk, my wife gets mad and goes down to a furniture store and buys a stick of furniture. I have to pay the bill, and I haven't any kick coming, because I know as well as she does that I shouldn't, so I just pay the bill and hope that soon the room will be so full of furniture that it won't happen again." They are a congenital pair. There is no recrimination or objection to the other's actions, so they are living happy and content. MAN FOUND ON STREET IN DYING CONDITION SWALLOWED POISON WITH SUICIDAL INTENT AND DIED AT HOSPITAL Ralph Burmundas Los Angeles Youth, Took Dose of Arsenic While Spending Sunday With Friends Here; Motive For Act Not Apparent, But Letters Left By Him Expected to Explain Reason; Has Been in Ill Health For Sometime Past Ralph Burmundas, a 20-year-old Los Angeles youth, came down from that city Sunday on a visit to friends and while here swallowed a dose of poison. He was taken to the County hospital. Hibernation Is Discovers The Cause Here's another or may not be not, just as you see. A fish that surfaces to breaking the water is on display in a sporting good.

Other speakers were City Engineer E. P. Hapgood and Dr. H. D. Newkirk. Raymond Nebelung presided and introduced the speakers. Mr. Hapgood spoke on "The Duties of the City Engineer's Office," and Dr. Newkirk supplemented Dr. Zaiser's talk on the hospital. He stated that much of the credit for the wise management of the hospital was due to Supervisor William Schumacher, who served many years as hospital committeeman for the institution. On Schumacher's election as chairman of the board of supervisors, John Mitchell was given the hospital post. Dr. Zaiser reported that during his administration of the hospital, a total of $136,000 had been spent or is being spent in permanent improvements to the farm and hospital plant, including the addition of 65 hospital beds, a new hospital building, costing $79,000; an addition to the nurses' dormitory costing $12,000 and a new building for the tubercular patients, now under construction, to cost $44,000. To finance these improvements, as well as the current operating expenses, the hospital has been dependent, almost entirely, upon its share of the 13-cent tax assessed by the county each year, he said. He pointed out that this tax assessment is used, not only to aid the hospital, but also to maintain the county health and welfare departments. Income from the farm provided last year $32,000, which proved of material assistance in keeping the institution operating at maximum efficiency. This income was derived from the sale of crops and oranges, he stated. Twenty-one outstanding members of the Orange County Medical association, all giving their services gratis and seven of them on duty at all hours, compose the hospital staff. An average of between 175 and 180 hospital cases are handled each month in addition to some 450 clinical patients, who are able to return to their homes following examination or emergency treatment, the speaker said. The social service department, maintained by the hospital, is charged with investigating all would-be patients and only those who are unable to pay are permitted to enter, in order to assure the full service of the hospital staff and facilities for the use of those in need, he said. The hospital staff at present includes eight graduate nurses and 34 student nurses with a new class of 16 student Sleeper's Figures on Road Expenditures Ridiculously Inaccurate So Far As This District Is Concerned County Assessor Sleeper has just issued a statement purporting to show the amount of taxes paid into the county general fund by the various supervisorial districts during the period from 1919 to 1926, also the amount of county road fund expended in each district during that period. Whether his statistics in regard to other districts are correct we are not in a position to say, but his statement relative to this, the third district, is inexcusably inaccurate. Mr. Sleeper in his report says that the third district paid into the general fund of the county from 1919 to 1926 the sum of $1,410,957.78. This figure may be approximately correct, but when he adds that $6893.55 was spent on highways of the district during the seven years' period his statement is ridiculously inaccurate. Exact figures of the expenditures on the highways of this district during that seven-year period are not available just now, but the total is not far from a million dollars. Inasmuch as the assessment was increased eleven and a quarter million this year, Mr. Sleeper recommends a tax reduction of 20 to 25 cents on the hundred dollars. As there has been no budget arranged and the necessary expenses for the next year are wholly unknown as yet, he is hardly in a position to make such a recommendation. Furthermore if all the departments of the county followed Mr. Sleeper's example the supervisors would be compelled to increase the tax rate rather lower it. This year he asks for $66,550 to run his office. Last year he was granted $56,850, and the previous year $45,509. This is an increase of $21,347 in two years. If all other departments of the county were demanding a proportionate increase the supervisors would be compelled to largely increase the levy. P.T.A.Petitions Ralph Bermundas Los Angeles youth, Took Dose of Arsenic While Spending Sunday With Friends Here; Motive For Act Not Apparent; But Letters Left By Him Expected To Explain Reason; Has Been in Ill Health For Sometimes Past Ralph Bermundas a 20-year-old Los Angeles youth, came down from that city Sunday on a visit to friends and while here swallowed a dose of poison. He was taken to the County hospital, where he died a couple of hours after. Bermundas took arsenic following a visit at the home of Miss Ruby Selaya, Anaheim. Officers said that Bermundas had told the young women that he declared that he was going to be "bumped off." Miss Selaya could throw no light on the cause for the act, and asserted that Bermundas was merely a friend of her family. About 5 o'clock he told Miss Salaya that he wanted to get some gas for his car and that he would be back in a few minutes. Shortly afterward he was found by a friend, Ernie Osuna, on East Center street, just east of Olive, in a serious condition. Believing him to be drunk Osuna put him in a car and took him for a drive in the hope of sobering him up. As he continued to grow worse Osuna took him to his home, where Bermundas told him he had swallowed arsenic with suicidal intent. The County hospital was immediately called and sent an ambulance. Efforts to save him at the hospital were no avail, and he died a couple of hours after reaching that institution. A note addressed by Bermundas to the girl, and another to his two sisters, residents of Los Angeles, are expected to shed light upon the motive for youth's self murder, when their contents are disclosed. It was known however that he had been unable to work for some time because of ill health, and that he had hinted of expecting to be "bumped off." Coroner Charles D. Brown conducted an investigation Monday. The body was held at the hospital awaiting transfer to Los Angeles for burial. Bermundas left two sisters, Mrs. Montana and Mrs. Henrietta Wheat, in Los Angeles. His father lives in Arizona and he has an aunt residing at 514 East Washington street Santa Ana. Junior College Is Discussed at Brea Many Members of C. of C. Favor Northern County Project Reading of a resolution adopted by the Placement Chamber of Commerce and calling for the separation of the Fullerton Union High school and the Fullerton Junior college districts re- handled each month in addition to some 450 clinical patients, who are able to return to their homes following examination or emergency treatment, the speaker said. The social service department, maintained by the hospital, is charged with investigating all would-be patients and only those who are unable to pay are permitted to enter, in order to assure the full service of the hospital staff and facilities for the use of those in need, he said. The hospital staff at present includes eight graduate nurses and 34 student nurses with a new class of 16 student nurses just entering. Dr. Zalser stated that their nursing school rates high among institutions of the kind in the country, four of the five nurses who made the highest records in the recent state examinations being graduates of the Orange County school. Commenting upon the low cost of operating the county institution, Dr. Zalser asserted that, while the Orange County Hospital and Farm is maintained on a cost of $2.50 per day per patient and with only a part of a 13-cent rate to provide funds, San Diego county's hospital has a 60-cent tax rate and Los Angeles county's institution an average patient cost of $5 per day. Voters Warned The present week is all that remains to Orange county voters for getting ready for the August primary election. County Clerk J. M. Backs at Santa Ana calls attention to the fact that he will close the registration books next Saturday for the primary. Any voter desiring to register, or to make any change in his present registration, such as transfer from one precinct to another, or a change of party affiliation, must attend it by that date, Backs warns. Registration has been slack, the clerk stated. He estimates that the 43,000 registrations in the county at the time of the May primary election, will be increased by about $000 for the August primary. P. T. A. Petitions For County Funds Want Appropriation to Extend Child Hygiene Work A delegation representing the Orange County Federation of Women's clubs and Parent-Teacher associations of Orange county asked the board of supervisors for facilities with which to inaugurate an enlarged child hygiene and maternal welfare program in the county. Two tentative plans for launching the scheme were presented, one calling for an expenditure of approximately $5000 and the other for $6000. Dr. Ellen Stadtmuller, head of the state department of child welfare at Sacramento, spoke at the delegation's request and supported the project. She stated that the movement is spreading rapidly in the state. One of the plans would call for an additional nurse for child hygiene supervision. The other scheme, outlined would provide for employing another full time physician whose efforts would be devoted to health work among mothers and small children. Dr. K. H. Sutherland, county health officer, stated that the inauguration of such a program would do much to lower the infant mortality rate. Dr. Beessica Raiche, of Anaheim, headed the delegation. A. A. Block, of Costa Mesa; Mrs. R. F. Summers, of Newport Beach, and Mrs. Neal Beisel, of Santa Ana, spoke in favor of the project. Junior College Is Discussed at Brea Many Members of C. of C. Favor Northern County Project Reading of a resolution adopted by the Placentia Chamber of Commerce and calling for the separation of the Fullerton Union High school and the Fullerton Junior college districts resulted in an increasing discussion at the meeting of the Brea Chamber of Commerce held in the Casa Brea Inn recently. Several expressed themselves as heartily in favor of the stablishment of the Northern Orange County Junior college district while still others felt that perhaps more benefit would be derived by remaining outside the district and being obligated to pay only for the privilege of Brea-Olinda students attending the Junior college. Discussion of the possible site to be chosen for the proposed Junior college revealed various opinions on that point, but the consensus seemed to be that high ground would be chosen and that wherever the college was located it would be a much desired asset to the county and to the communities immediately interested. Because of the fact that many of the directors of the chamber were absent due to their being away on vacations, the matter of adopting or rejecting the resolution was tabled until the next meeting. Seale Gets 10 Years For Beating Wife Superior Judge Homer G. Ames Monday sentenced William Scale of Buena Park, to San Quentin as a result of his conviction of assaulting his wife, Irene Seale, with a screwdriver and a hammer.

Believe it or not, just as you please. A fish that has to come to the surface to breathe, a scavenger, liking the water at least not too cold, is on display in a 15-gallon tank in a sporting goods store in Santa Ana. He is known as the weather fish, deriving the name from the fact that in his pool he tests the water quite frequently and when he thinks it's going to be cold enough to freeze, he deserts the pool for the land, digs a hole and hibernates until warmer weather come along, then he goes back into the water. A strange looking fish, this specimen eats sand and shoots it out his gills. This can be plainly seen in the tank at the store and if an observer watches long enough, the fish will be seen rising to the surface for a drink of fresh air. Although other fish are in the tank, he pays not the slightest attention to them and remains on the bottom most of the time. CITY PLANNING SUBJEGT OF SPEAKER L. A.

Pomeroy, member of the Los Angeles City Planning commission, and an expert on the subject, who was the speaker at the Kiwans luncheon Tuesday. Mr. Pomeroy was invited here because of his experience in and knowledge of the work, and because he could give pointers to the local planning commission, which has been functioning only a few months. City Manager Price was chairman for the day and had charge of the program. "City planning is not a luxury it a necessity," said the speaker. "See to it that the city expands in an orderly manner so as to take care of future requirements. The physical plan must include the financial plan." "City planning has become so generally recognized that it has spread into regional planning. Los Angeles for instance is vitally interested in the extension of highways into Orange county and this county is interested in adequate highways into Los Angeles. Road projects now pending which interest Anaheim are the Manchester boulevard for which resolutions of intension have been passed by the Los Angeles county board of supervisors; the construction of a highway through Anaheim to Santa Dominguez from Santa Ana canyon; and the widening and straightening of Telegraph road." The speaker urged the county to form a planning commission which should have as one of its first goals the acquisition of beaches for public playgrounds, he said. On the Fourth of July, he pointed out, there were more than 1,000,000 people on Southern California's beaches. With the population growing this pressure will increase unless immediate steps are taken to acquire beaches for public use. Much of the beach frontage now held by private interests could have been bought for little money a few years ago. Prices are going up. Mountain lands are available for public parks. These should be purchased. Mr. Pomeroy said. If you have faith in your community and your state then get behind these great projects of public improvement. Help put them across so that the glory of California shall be realized to its fullest." Mrs. Nellie E. Terry returned home on Tuesday from a delightful eastern trip of two months' duration during which she visited Mexico City, Havana, Key West, New York, Houston and Galveston, Salt Lake and many other places of interest. Mrs. Terry left Anaheim the latter part of May to attend the General Convention of Women's clubs in San Antonio, Texas, as a delegate from Anaheim Ebell. At the close of the convention she took a trip to Mexico City and returning to Texas took a steamer from Galveston to New York, after some days spent in the state of New York she returned to Galveston via Havana, also stopping at Key West. Mrs. Terry spent a few days in Houston directly after the big Democratic convention. She then visited Dallas, Waco and other Texas cities. After a short visit to Colorado Springs and Salt Lake City she came on West and reached her home in this city on Tuesday. Mr. and Mrs. Wm. K. Humbert, Miss Janice Humbert and Mrs. G. H. Bailey, who have been sojourning in Los Angeles for some weeks past, have taken apartments on the shore at Long Beach and will remain until October. when he came up Monday he asked for probation. According to Deputy District Attorney Kaufman, Scale had been placed on probation by a Los Angeles court after he had pleaded guilty to grand larceny. This situation, with the fact that he is said to have used a deadly weapon in attacking his wife, prevented the possibility of probation. The court could have sent Scale to the county jail or to San Quentin. The fact that he was given probation on the grand larceny charge by the Los Angeles court precluded a Folsom sentence, Kaufman said. The assault on his wife is believed to have been made because of jealousy over the fact that she had obtained employment with a real estate firm at the California Valencia Orange show in Anaheim. Curly Simms the tonsorial artist, attended the ball game at Wrigley field on Sunday afternoon and was an eyewitness of the near riot which intervened when the umpire decided Left Fielder Johnson of San Francisco had held a fly ball from a Hollywood batsman when the crowd insisted Johnson dropped it. Thousands of spectators swarmed upon the field throwing cushions and pop bottles at the umpire, who disappeared into the dugout and made his escape. Quiet was restored when the scorer put up the figures, Hollywood 5, San Francisco 4. It was the final play of a hotly contested game. If Johnson held the ball Hollywood was out, and if he dropped the ball Hollywood would have won. As the crowd resumed their seats for the second game, the scorer changed his figures, showing that San Francisco was awarded the game and the riot began all over again. A squad of police entered the field, and everything thereafter went on peaceably, except that people in the grandstand continued to throw cushions and bottles at Johnson and the umpire. Curly insists he did not throw a thing at either. Y. M. C. A. Workers Leave For North Secretary Conrad Jongewaard of the Anaheim Y. M. C.

Morrow, of Orange, Tom McKee of Santa Ana, and R. R. Russick, physical director of the Santa Ana Y. M. C. A., and expected to remain for the entire session of the school.
