S. Martin, was ended Thursday night when the council elected James S. Bouldin to the position. Bouldin was already a member of the force, having served as patrolman for the past five months. He had previously served as a policeman here, but resigned in 1925 to accept a job at Olinda as manager of the baseball team. Bouldin followed the flag in France throughout the war. He enlisted in Colorado at the outbreak, and was assigned to the third regulars, going across with the 26th division. He was in France and Germany five years. In his younger days he was a professional baseball player, being connected with several of the minor leagues. Later he was first baseman of the Pittsburgh Pirates. There were four other candidates for the position. They were John Kellenberger, who served many years as city marshal; Earl Nichols, a former member of the force; Bert Barr, who was on the force in the Metcalf administration, and F. R. Stewart, a former Santa Ana policeman. The appointment gives general satisfaction to all classes of people, as Bonelin's fitness for the position is acknowledged by all. He will take his seat October 1st, the date of Martin's retirement. In accordance with a previous declaration by Mayor Miller, an ordinance reducing the tax rate from $1.35 to $1.25 on the hundred dollars was introduced and read for the first time. It will be adopted at the next meeting of the board. Ex-Mayor Carl Leonard, who recently resigned his seat as a member of the council, refunded a check for $200 which had been paid him for his services as counselman during the last four months he held the seat. Mr. Leonard was in Europe during this period, but under the law he was compelled to accept the pay as he had not resigned his office. The law did not compel him to keep it, however, consequently he returned it to the city with the stipulation that it should be added to the baseball fund. Reports of City Clerk Edward B. Merritt and City Treasurer Charles A. Boege revealed $130,146.05 in the city treasury on September 13. In addition the city holds a mortgage for $2000 on the sewer farm.

Orange Orchards Bring Good Money Four Were Sold Last Week for Fancy Prices Four orange groves were sold in Orange county during the past week with considerations involved totaling nearly $190,000. A record grove sale was made when a 10-acre 12-year-old orange grove on North Raymond avenue, belonging to A. O. Stovall was sold to Arthur W. Kammerer of 217 West Whiting avenue, for a cash consideration of approximately $65,000. The grove is improved with a beautiful two-story residence said to have cost $12,000. The Stovall grove is said to be one of the most productive in Northern Orange county, yielding bumper crops virtually every year. Stovall owned the grove for five years. Kammerer will move to his new place shortly. Horace M. Porter, of the Garden Grove road, purchased the 20-acre valencia orange grove on East Katella avenue, south of Anaheim, from Otto Schroeder for a cash consideration said to have been approximately $63,000. The grove is improved with a five-room residence. Ten acres of valencia oranges, northwest of Anaheim, just off Placentia avenue, were sold to L. Davis, Santa Ana attorney by Theodore Haudepoehl, Anaheim, for a cash consideration of $35,000. The grove is comparatively young, with 10-year-old trees, but is a good producer. C. M. McCain, Santa Ana real estate dealer, sold 10 acres of oranges, all valencias, to William Mang, Santa Ana, for $25,000. The grove is located between Red Hill and the Newport Beach roads, in Tustin. The trees are 12 years old. Interest in orange groves has been increasing during the past few weeks, due to a great extent to the high prices that are being paid this year. It is stated that the inquiries for orange groves are generally from old-time growers who are realizing every day the advantages.

REGISTRAT Reports of City Clerk Edward B. Merritt and City Treasurer Charles A. Boege revealed $130,146.05 in the city treasury on September 13. In addition the city holds a mortgage for $2000 on the sewer farm. On that date there was $97,074.42 in the general fund, and $3030.85 in the library fund the report shows. Police Judge Eldon W. Stark reported 35 cases handled in his court during August. Fines collected totaled $1378, of which $922 was from six violators of the Wright act and $246 from 20 motor vehicle act violators. Miss Elizabeth Calnon, librarian, reported cost of operations during August as $1186.29, leaving a balance in the fund of $882.93. Fire Chief R. Nyboe reported one fire during August without damage. Collections from the issuance of business licenses during August totaled $561 and from the sale of dog tags $5.00, the report of Chief J. S. Martin, as license collector, revealed. Deputy Controller W. J. Lake reported total collections of $17,044.33 from the sale of light, water and power. Light users paid $7357.57; water users, $6408.42, and power users, $3278.34. Electrical Inspector V. W. Hannum reported the issuance of 16 electric light wire, 14 electric light fixture, and four electric power wire permits during August. Fees collected totaled $97.69. Eighteen building permits issued during August had a valuation of $43,061 and fees collected aggregated $89, according to the report of R. Nyboe, city building inspector. The Waste Water company has completed preparations for connecting with the joint outfall sewer, but have delayed making such connections for some unknown reasons, O. E. Steward, maintenance engineer on the sewer reported last night to the city council. Expense of operating unit one during August totaled $1372.36, apportioned as follows: Santa Ana, $624.42; Anaheim, $212.30; Fullerton, $212.30; Orange, $149.82; Placentia, $34.31; Garden Grove, $34.31; and La Habra, $54.90.

The grove is located between Red Hill and the Newport Beach roads, in Tustin. The trees are 12 years old. Interest in orange groves has been increasing during the past few weeks, due to a great extent to the high prices that are being paid this year. It is stated. The inquiries for orange groves are generally from old-time growers who are realizing every day the advantages of investing in orange groves rather than in stocks or other forms of investments. Although it is generally natural for a person to desire to secure things cheap, the inquiries for orange groves are generally for the better and higher priced groves which are yielding big crops rather than for the 'run-down' groves that used to be purchased by persons seeking to build them up. Bicycle Riders Must Obey Road Rules The attention of bicycle riders was today called by the Division of Motor Vehicles to the fact that they are required to observe the law on the highways in the same manner as other vehicular traffic. The warning was given because of numerous reports of accidents involving bicycles in which it was determined that the riders had not observed the rules of the road. Bicycles, it was stated, are expected to keep well to the right side of the road the same as other motor vehicles. Riders must also give signals when about to turn. Traffic officers have been instructed to make a particular attempt toward enforcing the law requiring bicycles traveling at night to display lights front and rear. 4 and 5 during August aggregated $75 and were apportioned as follows: Anaheim, $26.75; Fullerton, $17.08; Orange, $18.79; Placentia, $3.38; Garden Grove, $3.77; and La Habra, $5.63.

Shaughnessey, driver, and Henry DeGross, both of Los Angeles, was struck by a large touring car at the intersection of Lemon street and the state highway, north of Anaheim. Shaughnessey suffered a long and deep gash across the left side of his face, an artery in his neck being severed. DeGross received back injuries and a cut over the cheekbone. They were removed to an Anaheim hospital. The larger car belongs to Mrs. Junla L. Carpenter, 501 West Whiting, Fullerton, and was being driven by her niece, Miss Elale Bucklin, 22, of Washington, D.C. According to State Traffic Officers Ernest Sawyer, who investigated the wreck, Miss Bucklin stated that Shaughnessey's car was speeding across the Intersection, but other witnesses said that Shaughnessey LINING UP FOR HALLOWE’EN PARADE MERCHANTS' ASSOCIATION STARTS THE MOVEMENT AT MEETING MONDAY Many New Features to Be Added to This Year’s Autumn Festival Which Will Be Held on Wednesday, Oct.31; Long List of Committeemen Appointed to Arrange Details and Carry it to Final Consummation At a meeting of the Merchants' association, held at Elks' clubhouse Monday evening, definite arrangements were made for the Hallowe'en festival, which Edwards Craig G.

Chairman Schumacher Refuses to Sanction the Proposition and the Matter Is Dropped; Fair This Year Was the Best Ever Given, But Closed With a Big Deficit, It Is Reported; Attendance Was Very Light Efforts of the board of directors of the Orange County Fair to dispose of the grounds to the county have failed. A meeting was held between the supervisors and members of the Fair association at Elks' clubhouse in this city Wednesday night for the purpose of discussing the proposition, but it came to naught. Chairman William Schumacher refused to sanction such a deal, and in all probability the matter will be dropped. While this year's county fair was the best ever yet held, there was a falling off in attendance, consequently the association found itself confronted with a deficit, it is said, therefore the directors would like to transfer the title to the real estate to the county. The suggestion was made with the idea of converting the grounds into a county recreational center where activities of county importance could be staged the year round. It was pointed out that the grounds could be put on a self supporting basis by bringing big league baseball teams here for winter training, by bringing eastern football teams here for inter-sectional games, and by making the location available for events of local significance which require a large area. A plan for financing the project was suggested whereby the fair association would rent the space each year from the county at perhaps $6000. The fair association thus would be remunerated for the ground in a few years and the county would not be required to make a large outlay at one time for taking over the property, it was pointed out. Approximately 22 acres would be transferred at $1200 an acre and 17 at $1700 an acre, according to the proposal. Thus the fair association would be releasing the land at the price originally paid for it, while land in that vicinity is selling at a much higher figure, it was declared. Emphasis was placed on the central location of the fair grounds for a county recreational center. It was said that there is no longer available any area of land so centrally located at the price for which the fair grounds were offered. The supervisors, however, take another view of the matter and believe that the purchase price would be only the beginning of an annual expense which they do not feel justified in assuming for the county. In all probability there will be no further negotiations. REGISTRATION November election, the Republican cerning registration and voting at the To end any confusion existing con- Radio Program For Hoover Important Broadcast Coming for California Voters on Saturday Evening The first radio political rally ever held here will blanket California next Saturday night with the formal launching by California Republicans of the last six weeks of intensive campaigning for Hoover and Curtis. This novel and far-reaching campaigning will be held simultaneously in Los Angeles and San Francisco and should have an air audience of more than a million California voters. While Republican leaders gather next Saturday night at the Palace hotel in San Francisco for a rally and broadcast party Southern California leaders will meet here at the Alexandria for the one big political banquet of the campaign. The programs of speaking by KFI, Los Angeles; KGO, Oakland, and KPO, San Francisco, on the network of the National Broadcasting Co. Lieutenant-Governor Buron Fitts will preside at the Los Angeles radio rally introducing Joseph Scott, well-known Southern California attorney, as the speaker of the evening. In San Francisco, Mark Requa, state campaign director for Hoover and Curtis, will introduce Governor C. C. Young. Both speaking programs will be broadcast, probably from 8 to 9 o'clock p.m. The reversal of the circuit in each case will permit each group to hear the other speaking program. Next week also will usher in national radio campaign by the Republican leaders with day and night speaking programs, to include Hoover Vice-President Charles G. Dawes, Senator William E. Borah, Andrew J. Melion, Senator Charles Curtis, Senator Hiram W. Johnson and other national figures as speakers. The San Francisco gathering next Saturday night will have an added significance as it will mark the close of the meeting of the new Republican state committee following the regular Republican biennial convention Tuesday at DeGross received back injuries and a cut over the checkhone. They were removed to an Anaheim hospital. The larger car belongs to Mrs. Junla L.

According to State Traffic Officers Ernest Sawyer, who investigated the wreck, Miss Bucklin stated that Shaughnessy's car was speeding across the intersection, but other witnesses said that Shaughnessey had brought his car to a full stop, before starting across, and that the other car was traveling at a rapid rate. AT MEETING MONDAY Many New Features to Be Added to This Year's Autumn Festival Which Will Be Held on Wednesday, Oct. 31; Long List of Committeemen Appointed to Arrange Details and Carry it to Final Consummation At a meeting of the Merchants' association, held at Elks' clubhouse Monday evening, definite arrangements were made for the Halloween festival, which is staged for Wednesday evening, October 31. Preparations are being made some weeks earlier than a year ago, because it is planned to make many additions and improvements to the annual event. Many changes were suggested for the better entertainment of the visitors, one of them being H.E. W. Barnes, who suggested that the parade end at the city park, where a band concert would be held following the disbandment of the procession, also a night baseball game, with Anaheim pitted against a foeman worthy of its steel. This suggestion will probably be adopted by the committee or arrangements. Many new stunts have been prepared for the entertainment of the thousands of visitors, and it is believed all former harvest home festivals will be far outclassed. The following committees were selected at the meeting: to have charge of the work: Finance Committee To raise money and the disbursement of money for the expense incurred, such as decorations, amusements, supplies, etc. South side of Center from Olive to Helena—Olive to Los Angeles, Ed Schneider, Vance Ford and Charles Pearson; Los Angeles to Lemon, B.F.

Must be 21 years of age or over. Must have lived one year in the state, 90 days in the county and 30 days in the precinct prior to the date of election. The voter must have registered since January 1, 1928. If the voter has moved since his last registration, another registration will be necessary. The last day for registering for the Presidential election is October 6. Republican leaders are co-operating with the civic and club groups in Southern California that are working to get out the biggest possible vote. The slogan of the "Get-Out-the-Vote" league is "Register and vote, regardless of how you vote—But Vote!" 4-H Agricultural Members to Exhibit Enthused and encouraged by the quality of their products by the win-nings made at the Orange County Fair, several of the club members are enter-ing their exhibits at the Pomona Fair in the Junior Department. The members involved are from Tustin, Yorba Linda, Costa Mesa, Katella and West Orange. A truck is required to transport the entries which consist of pigs, rabbits, poultry, pigeons and a calf. It is believed that the visitors from Orange county will be proud of the initiative of the 4-H Club boys and pleased with the quality of their products. Next week also will usher in the national radio campaign by the Republican leaders with day and night speaking programs, to include Hoover, Vice-President Charles G. Dawes, Senator E. Borah, Andrew J. Melon, Senator Charles Curtis, Senator Hiram W. Johnson and other national figures as speakers. The San Francisco gathering next Saturday night will have an added significance as it will mark the close of the meeting of the new Republican state committee following the regular Republican biennial convention Tuesday at Sacramento. This meeting will formally inaugurate the campaign in California for Hoover and Curtis and the entire Republican ticket. Southern Republican leaders and members of the state committee will leave here tomorrow for Sacramento for the convention, where the state committee will be organized for its San Francisco meeting on the following Saturday. All leaders are looking forward to the organization meetings which mark for the first time in many years a solidly united party group. Among the Southern leaders attending the Sacramento convention are C. C. Teague and Mendel Silberberg, members of the Hoover campaign committee in the South, and Colonel William Eric Fowler, newly-elected chairman of the Los Angeles county central committee. Speaking yesterday concerning the launching next week of the radio and speaking campaigns by the Republican state organization, Mendel Silberberg said: "The Republican party has never been as solidly united in California as it is today. So, the results in November so far as California is concerned cannot be in doubt. Nothing can defeat its determination to win for Herbert Hoover, a distinguished Californian, Charles Curtis, Hiram W. Johnson as United States Senator and the entire Republican delegations to congress and the California legislature.

The association's packing house here is now open, but will not begin receiving nuts Aviator Killed At Costa Mesa Companion Probably Fatally Injured in Fall Guy Fanscher of Pasadena, was killed and Alvin Hansted of Long Beach, was probably fatally injured when their biplane went into a nose dive over the old Orange County golf course near Costa Mesa at 11:15 o'clock Saturday morning. Hansted was piloting the bi-plane and Fanscher was riding as a passenger when the accident occurred. According to information obtained by the coroner the plane flew here from Long Beach and while out over the ocean engine trouble developed. Wishing to make a safe landing, Hansted piloted the plane over the golf course and attempted to make a "dead-stick" landing. While some distance from the ground the plane went into a nose dive and frantic efforts on the part of Hansted to right the ship were futile. Witnesses to the accident rushed to the plane and extricated the two men. The plane was completely demolished and the flyers were rushed to the Newport Beach hospital, where Fanscher died five minutes after arriving there. The extent of Hansted's injuries are not known though the suffered severe bruises, a possible fracture of the skull and internal injuries. Hansted's plane was one of the latest model Travelairs and according to information obtained by the Newport Beach police Hansted had had about 45 hours of flying experience. It is reported that the police chief of Newport received a telegram from the department of commerce at Washington to place a guard over the plane until an investigation could be made by a representative of that department. Roger Williams Presidential Elector NUTS NEXT WEEK Walter Ross Estimates Crop at Only 40 Per Cent of Last Year; Pickers to Receive Higher Price Than a Year Ago; Samuel Kraemer Resigns As President of Association and His Son, Gilbert, Elected to Take the Place Vacated The walnut harvest has begun. The association's packing house here is now open, but will not begin receiving nuts for shipment until next week. Nuts have been dropping for a week or more, but the quality of the first drop is poor owing to weather conditions. The later ones, however, are of exceptionally good quality, and as only a few have been dropping the crop will average good as to quality. According to Walter Ross, manager of the Anaheim association, the crop this year will be only 40 per cent of last year's phenomenal yield, when 1600 tons were shipped by his house. He is expecting to handle not more than 600 tons this season. But the nuts will be larger and better than the crop of a year ago, as they were small then owing to the overladen trees. At a meeting of the board of directors of the association Monday a price of 85 cents per sack for picking was decided upon. This is 10 cents above the price of last year, and the raise was made because the crop is so much lighter, requiring more time to gather a sack. At this meeting Samuel Kraemer, one of the directors, and president of the association for the past fourteen years, resigned from the directorate and retires from active work in the management of the association. Gilbert Kraemer, his son, already a director, was elected to the presidency to succeed his father. Dr. W. M. Chambers also resigned from the directorate and Walter Muckenthaler was elected to take his seat. The board now consists of Gilbert Kraemer, R. M. Fay, Dr. H. D. Cook, F. A. Fehlman, J. M. Kluthe and Walter Muckenthaler. Setting of prices for the new crop nuts is expected to be effected by the board of directors of the California Walnut Growers' association at a meeting to be held in Los Angeles early next month, Mr. Ross stated. With the generally shorter crop this year better prices than last season are anticipated. G. O. P. Leaders Planning Drive At meeting of the Orange County Republican Central committee will be held in Anaheim in two weeks, it was decided when 20 members of the political organization met at McFarland's cafe, Fullerton, for a banquet and business session. Definition of the work the committeemen from Orange county cities will be required to do for the Hoover-Curtis campaign was made. Distribution Roger Williams Presidential Elector Selected at State Convention at Sacramento Tuesday R. Y. Williams of San Juan Capistrano, former judge of the superior court of Orange county, has been selected as a Republican elector for California. Judge Williams was chosen at the Republican state convention held yesterday at Sacramento. Electors, all pledged to the support of Hoover and Curtis, were chosen partly at large and partly by congressional districts. Williams was the choice of the delegation from the eleventh congressional district. His name will appear on the November ballot along with the other Hoover electors. At the Sacramento convention a state central committee was chosen. The committeeemen named from Orange county are R. Y. Williams, San Juan Capistrano; Dr. R. A. Cushman, Santa Ana; J. F. Craemer, Orange; Nelson Launer, La Habra. The selections were made by N. T. Edwards of Orange, Republican nominee for state senator, and Ted Craig of Brea. Republican nominee for assemblyman, who were delegates to the convention. In the wake of the tumult and the shouting of the state political conventions, the decks were cleared and party leaders departed for their home ballots to carry the battle to the people. There are twenty-six "men" on the presidential checkerboard—thirteen Republican electors, pledged to support Herbert C. Hoover, a home-stater—and thirteen Democrats, carrying aloft the banner of Al Smith, a New Yorker. And the play is for the "king row," the White House. G. O. P.

MRS. FALKENSTEIN IMPROVES Mrs. Wm. Falkenstein, who has been quite seriously ill for several weeks past, is convalescing nicely and hopes soon to recover her health. She was in a San Francisco hospital for some time, but improved sufficiently to permit of her return home. She and Mr. Falkenstein and their daughter, Miss Edith, returned some two weeks ago. They spent the vacation with their son Stanley, and have been absent several months. A very enjoyable visit was unfortunately interfered with by the illness.
