N. White on Last Thursday Evening Senator Samuel M. Shortridge is to be the guest of Anaheim Republicans at a banquet to be held Friday evening, Oct. 19, at Elks' clubhouse, and will make a speech in support of Hoover and Curtis and the Republican ticket. The senator is making a limited number of speeches in the southern section of the state, but this is the only one he will deliver in Orange county. The Anaheim Republicans were fortunate in securing him, as he is a splendid orator and is thoroughly conversant with the political situation. One dollar a plate is being charged for the dinner, and as space in the clubhouse is limited, persons who wish to attend should buy their tickets early. W. E. Alexander, vice chairman of the Republican County Central committee, has charge of the affair. All persons who care to hear the senator are welcome, and it is believed the clubhouse will be taxed to its full capacity, and many who make application too late for seats will be disappointed. Thursday there was a reorganization of the Anaheim Republican Study club at the home of Mrs. H. N. White, 124 W. Sycamore street. The club selected Mrs. E. E. Smith as delegate to the Republican Women's Federation of California convention to be held October 30 at the Alexandria hotel, Los Angeles. Mrs. C. P. Spottswood was named alternate. Miss Amy Wheeler was selected to serve on the credential committee, and Mrs. Laura Sears'on the publicity committee. Mrs. Nellie Terry has been appointed by the state executive committee to serve on the reception committee at the coming convention. Miss Frances Backs was elected as secretary-treasurer, succeeding Mrs. Genevieve Fording, resigned. Mrs. D. D. Morris and Mrs. E. E. Smith were named as a committee to work with the county central committee to erect a banner across Los Angeles street in Anaheim. The banner will mark the Hoover-Curtis headquarters at J. S. Howard's office, 152 South Los Angeles street. Mrs. Terry and Mr. Howard both have supplies of Hoover stickers and buttons for any who desire them. Freight Rates on Walnuts Reduced A reduction in transcontinental freight rates on edible nuts in the shell, which should result in the widening of the market for California walnuts was announced by J. A. Smiley, director, of the California Walnut Growers' association. All Arranged For Hallowe'en Parade Committees Report Festival to Be Better Than Ever The Hallowe'en entertainment to be held on Wednesday evening, Oct. 31 will far outclass all former festivals, according to the reports of committees submitted at a meeting of the Merchants at Elks' clubhouse Tuesday night. The finance committee reported that the fund raised for the occasion was far in excess of that subscribed in former years, and in consequence the parade would be much better than those of former years. Preliminary plans call for a parade in six sections, each section to be headed by a band or other musical organization; a street dance following the parade, a free vaudeville show at the Greek theatre in the city park, and a night football game. Last year the event drew an estimated attendance of 25,000. With a longer parade and with the parade planned to traverse more streets than ever before, it is the belief of President Nelson that the festival this year will attract a far greater attendance. It was announced that one section of the parade will be occupied by 75 mounted entries from the Orange County Riding club. In general the rules for the parade and for decoration and judging of windows will be as last year. All windows entered in the merchants contest must be ready for judging the evening of Tuesday, October 30, at 6 p.m. The parade and festival will be presented following evening. As far as is possible the commercial spirit will be eliminated from the event. All floats, Mr. Nelson announced, are to be decorated in the Hallowe'en motif. Automobiles entered in the parade must be covered at least 50 per cent by decorations. Signs on floats are to be 12 by 48 inches; on automobiles 6 by 24 inches, with a sign on either side of every vehicle entered. Marchers must have a uniform sign on the left shoulder. The course of the parade has not to the Anaheim Community hospital. According to the accident report, Finley's machine collided with a truck driven by L. A. Hile, Yorba Linda. No one on the truck was reported hurt. No one was injured when automobiles driven by Florence Shaw, 1871 Pasadena avenue Long Beach, collided with a car driven by P. W. Tucker, 516 Normandy street, Santa Ana, at the intersection of Buffalo and North Main street, at 9 o'clock Monday night. The Shaw machine was traveling south on Main street and the Tucker car was turning into Main street from Buffalo street, it was reported.

Freight Rates on Walnuts Reduced A reduction in transcontinental freight rates on edible nuts in the shell, which should result in the widening of the market for California walnuts was announced by J. A. Smiley, director, of the California Walnut Growers' association. The new rate which has gone into effect reduces by 25c per hundred the previous charge, making this rate $1.50 per hundred with a 40,000-pound carload minimum. The reduction of this rate has already caused the usual 30,000-pound carload buyers to increase their orders to the higher minimum so that the benefit of the lower rate may be obtained. The association has already received a number of requests from Exchange carload buyers to change from the former minimum of 30,000 pounds to 40,000 pounds. The widening of the market will come according to Smiley, because the jobbers in the one-car market will have an incentive to increase their requirements so they may obtain the benefit of this lower rate. The lower rate was secured through the efforts of the Traffic Department of the California Walnut Growers' association. FOUR-FOURS CLUB MEETS Miss Winifred Melrose entertained the Four-Fours club on Thursday evening at a 7 o'clock dinner at a local cafe and later at cards in her home on North Philadelphia street. After the game of whist a midnight collation of cake and punch was served by the hostess. Mr. and Mrs. Arthur Lewis were the lucky winners of the prizes. The ladies' prize was two beautifully decorated jars of preserved fruit and the men's prize was a basket of "delicatessen" goods. Mr. and Mrs. F. A. Yungbluth will entertain at the next meeting. Favors Orangethorpe For Junior College The establishment of a Northern Orange county college separate from the high school was promised the support of the citizens of this city through the board of directors of the Anaheim Chamber of Commerce at their regular meeting this week. A resolution was adopted as follows: "Whereas, the capacity of the Fullerton Junior college has been taxed to its utmost and further growth is limited because of housing and physical equipment, and "Whereas, it is the belief of the directors that high school pupils and junior college students should be segregated for best results, "Therefore, be it resolved, That the directors of the Anaheim Chamber of Commerce, representing the citizenship of Anaheim, are willing and desire to co-operate with Fullerton for the establishment of one North Orange County Junior college. And further move that Anaheim favors the location of the junior college on Orangethorpe avenue. Ladies of the chapel museum in contemplation years past, and they it as one of the interest of the city.

Both are of considerable significance. Nat Neff, highway superintendent, pointed out, inasmuch as they will link up with road systems in use or planned for the future. At a probable cost of $55,000 Ocean avenue will be paved from Garden Grove to hook up with Seventh street in Long Beach, according to present plans. This highway would cover a distance of two and three-quarters miles and would be built from asphalt concrete. The second roadway to be paved is Santa Fe street, which would give a direct route from Manchester avenue to the Santa Ana canyon road by hooking up with Commonwealth avenue. In Fullerton, and Main street, Placentia. The distance to be paved is approximately one-half mile. Concrete will be used.

By George Hansen, While Surveying Colony...Tract Seventy Years Ago—Being Moved to a Site on West Street Near Sycamore—What Mirthful Stories Old Walls Could Tell Could They But Speak of Happy Associations of Long Ago—Saving Relics Mrs. Ernest Borchert and Mrs. L. C. Deming, acting as a committee of Mother Colony Chapter, D. A. R., have been receiving contributions from citizens this week which will be used to maintain a museum housing many relics preserved here for more than half a century. They have met with gratifying response but more funds are necessary, and they are appealing to good citizens everywhere, those residing here and others who formerly lived here, but now maintain their homes elsewhere, to send in checks to Mrs. J. S. Sheridan, regent of the chapter, at her home, 402 North Lemon street. Those non-residents who own valuable property interests here are especially appealed to for assistance, and contributions from all those who formerly resided here will be greatly appreciated. The ladies hope that the response to their appeal will be commensurate to their praiseworthy and laudable enterprise. Quite a sum is yet necessary, and it is hoped that this will be forthcoming from all good citizens promptly. The frame building until recently standing on North Los Angeles street, near Chartres, which was erected by George Hansen in 1858, and which was occupied by him as his home and office, while he was surveying the colony tract, is being moved to West street near Sycamore, where Mrs. J. Dwyer, daughter of pioneer colonists has kindly donated a site for its occupancy. The building was owned until recently by E. E. Benzilde of Fullerton, who has donated it to the ladies of the chapter. Peter Weisel is paying the expenses of its removal and the building is being moved by Contractor Moody. Frank N. Gibbs will furnish the necessary lumber and B. F. Spencer the paint at cost. Leonard Evans has offered his legal services in the transaction without his usual fee. It will be necessary to reshingle the building, and it will be freshly painted and the new roof stained. The grounds will be beautified with flowerk and shrubbery. The building is believed to be the first one erected in the colony, and will be used as a museum to house many interesting relics now in possession of the D. A. R. and which have been promised to them. Many of these relics were brought around the Horn after a voyage of many months from the Atlantic seaboard. The museum will be open to the public on several days during each month and the public will be invited to be present. Girl Attacked on La Jolla Avenue C. C. Collins a Rover, Accused of the Crime Accused of during an 18-year-old Santa Ana girl into an automobile, alleged to have been stolen, and then criminally attacking the girl under threat of "blowing out her brains" if she related him, Charles C. Collins, 22, of Orange, is in the county jail facing three felony charges. Collins, a pugilist known to Orange county followers of boxing, completed serving a year's sentence in the county jail for an offense identical with the principal crime now charged against him. News of his latest crime came when the girl stumbled into the doorway of the John F. Kemner residence late Saturday night and hysterically related her asserted experience at the hands of Collins, who she said had induced her to take an automobile ride with him and had driven to a spot on La Jolla road in the velocity of Placentia and near the Kemper dwelling, where the attack was said to have occurred. Denuty Sheriff A. L. Steward, who was summoned, took the girl to her home in Santa Ana. J. O. Thornhill and Lloyd Fuller, of the citrus patrol, within a few minutes arrested Collins at Santa Ana. According to the girls' story, she had come with her mother and another girl to a skating rink on the state highway between Anlaheim and Orange Saturday evening. There, she saw Collins, whom she knew through a boy friend. Collins asked her to drive to Placentia with him as he had to go there to collect some money that was due him. With her mother's consent, the girl went with him. On La Jolla road, she said he stopped his car and attacked her. When she resisted he struck her a block on the mouth and then produced a small pistol, threatening to "blow out her brains" if she resisted. He fired the pistol in the same general direction as she did. Association Fixes Figure at Los Angeles Monday; Growers Will Receive Less Money for the Harvest Than They Did a Year Ago Owing to Short Crop; Quality in This Section Is Poor Manager Ross Says Directors of the California Walnut Growers' association met at Los Angeles Monday and fixed prices for this season's crop now being harvested. While the price established is practically 20 per cent higher than the figures of a year ago, and the railroads have also considerably reduced the freight rate, which is of material advantage, yet the growers will not receive as much money for the output as they did last year when the yield was the heaviest ever known. The Anahelm house last year received and shipped 1600 tons, while this season Manager Walter Ross estimates his shipments at little more than 400 tons—about 30 per cent of the former crop. The nuts so far received here have been of extremely poor quality and prospects for the new season are not over encouraging. Approximately two-thirds of the local yield is expected to be of the soft shell variety and this season has been particularly hard on this type of nut. The other third will be largely of the budded variety, he said. Carlyle Thorpe, general manager of the California association, who recommended the price scale that was adopted at Monday's meeting, reported that the state's walnut yield this season is expected to be approximately 40 per cent of last season's crop, or approximately 370,000 bags as compared with 750-000 bags last year. He pointed out that the prices set for this year are higher than those paid for the 1924 crop despite the fact that the 1924 crop was 35,000 bags less than the yield anticipated this season. Good yields in China, Roumania, and other European countries, competing with the California growers for the eastern markets, to be offered on the American markets at prices far lower than are possible here, were factors taken into consideration in the price-setting Monday. Thorpe reported that last year's tremendous yield has being entirely disposed of by the association through some 125,000 bags of these nuts are still in the hands of the trade. The presence of this hold-over stock on the shelves of eastern retailers will handle somewhat the marketing of the new crop nuts, he said. Following are the figures fixed by the association for the past three years: This year 1927 1926 Diamond No. 1.....26 21 .28 Emerald No. 1.....23 18½ .25 Diamond Lg. Budded.....28½ .25 Emerald Lg. Budded.....25 22½ .29 Diamond Med. Budded.....25 19 .26 Emerald Med. Budded.....22 17 .23 Emerald Babies.....18½ .19 .15 Diamond Lg. Eureka.....30 27¼ .33 building, and it will be freshly painted and the new roof stained. The grounds will be beautified with flowery and shrubbery. The building is believed to be the first one erected in the colony, and will be used as a museum to house many interesting relics now in possession of the D. A. R. and which have been promised to them. Many of these relics were brought around the Horn after a voyage of many months from the Atlantic seaboard. The museum will be open to the public on several days during each month and the public will be invited to present. Ladies of the chapter have had this museum in contemplation for several years past, and they hope to maintain it as one of the interesting show places of the city. Many of the old landmarks are passing out of the picture, and the ladies feel that this old building and its treasures should be preserved for the present and future generations. That their appeal for funds for this end may receive an adequate response is not to be doubted for a moment. Mr. Hansen completed his surveys of the colony tract in this building seventy years ago. The building was later occupied by Mrs. Carrillo and family and subsequently by Frederick Ruhman and family and Peter Syre and family. If the old walls could speak, what happy stories of courtships and marriages they might tell. Mrs. Adolph Rimpau, Mrs. Peter Richards and Mrs. L. W. Kirby, lovely daughters of Mrs. Carrillo, belles of the early days, lived here when they were coursed and wed. What happy shouts of laughter resounded in the old building at many a feast and what sorrows and heart aches came when the Grim Reaper stepped in to claim his own. Yet this is not to be, and the old building will henceforth be used as a museum to house those venerable relics of a time which has sped on into the fleeting years. Let the response to these good ladies' appeal be adequate and commensurate with their gracious purpose to maintain it during the years that are to follow. J. E. Schumacher, W. J. Elliott and W. B. Allen are attending the fourth annual convention of California Real-tors at Sacramento this week. County P.-T.

G. O. P. LEADERS BEGIN DRIVE FOR FUNDS CONTRIBUTIONS FOR HOOVER AND CURTIS SUPPORT ARE TO BE ASKED Movement Started at Dinner Given By C. C. Chanman to County Leaders on Tuesday Nights: Guests Started the Fund By Submitting $2500; Meeting Was Enthusiastic Little has been done in Orange county so far to awaken the voters to the fact that an important election is approaching, but Republican leaders have determined to carry on an aggressive High School Boy Injured in Fracas Struck on the Head With Iron Weight and May Die high school is in the hospital suffering from a fractured skull received in a concussion Tuesday night between Anaheim and Fullerton students. His condition is serious and physicians say they may have fatal. The Anaheim students had piled up fuel for a huge bonfire which was to be fired tonight heralding the annual Anaheim-Fullerton football game. The Fullerton boys determined to fire twenty-four hours ahead of time and thus snapped the foul which was scheduled for last night. News that they were coming however, reached the ears of the Anaheimers and they were out in force to repel the invaders and protect their property. When the Fullerton boys appeared, fifty in number, they were confronted with an equal force, and a pitched battle was the result. The weapons used were mostly tomatoes, but some member of the Fullerton gang was not content with such harmless missiles, and had armed himself with a window weight. With this he struck Wire over the head, crushing his skull and probably fatally injuring him. This put an end to the fracas. The principals of both the Anaheim and Fullerton schools, alided by the police, are making an effort to identify the boy who wielded the deadly weapon, and he will probably soon be apprehended. District Attorney West stated that he would vigorously prosecute the case should it be brought officially before him. Kenneth Wire, the injured boy, who is 15 years of age and a sophomore, is the son of Mrs. Hazel Wire of West Broadway. POPULAR COUPLE WED One of the most beautifully appointed weddings of the season occurred on Wednesday evening at 8 o'clock at the home of Mr. and Mrs. W. N.

Chanman to County Leaders on Tuesday Night; Guests Started the Fund By Subscribing $2500; Meeting Was Enthusiastic Little has been done in Orange county so far to awaken the voters to the fact that an important election is approaching, but Republican leaders have determined to carry on an aggressive campaign during the short period yet remaining. At least a movement has been started to raise this county's share of contributions to assist in financing the Hoover and Curtis campaign, and in all likelihood some meetings will be held in the county. The first step was taken Tuesday night at dinner given to leaders of the party by C. C. Chanman. Twenty-five persons were present and the session was an enthusiastic one, the speakers being supremely confident that the entire ticket from Hoover down would be elected by sweeping majorities. The dinner began at 6:30 p.m. and the host acted as toothmaster, giving the first talk on the political situation, which was followed by remarks from almost every one of the 25 guests who were present. The county state and national political situations were fully discussed. Over $2500 was pledged to the Orange county fund, which will be sent to national headquarters for us in organization work and in getting out the voters in doubtful states. Col. M. B. Wellington chairman of the finance committee of the county central committee; Earl Abbey secretary; and W. R. Williams of Santa Ana, are receiving contributions to the fund. It was recalled that Chanman, who was host to the group has been a delegate to two national conventions and has attended several others. James E. Garfield was nominated at the first convention attended by Chanman. Guests at last night's dinner were P. A. Stanton, of Seal Beach; N. T. Edwards of Orange; W. B. Williams, Santa Ana; J.

Hylton and John Henry, son of Mr. and Mrs. Arch Henry and grandson of Capt. and Mrs. Alex Henry, were united in the holy bonds of matrimony in the presence of seventy-five relatives and friends by Rev. R. Hylton of Santa Ana, a cousin of the bride. Miss Lillie Hylton, sister of the bride, was maid of honor; she wore a dainty gown of pink sequette and lace and carried a bouquet of pink sweet peas. Marion Henry, brother of the groom, was best man. The bride was attired in white crepe satin and lace and her long veil was held in place with a wreath of orange blossoms and pearls. Her bouquet was of brides' roses and maiden hair ferns. Following the ceremony a reception was held at which those present extended congratulations and best wishes for a long and happy life.
