TRI-COUNTIES IN NEW CONGRESS DISTRICT?
HAND OF CONGRESSMAN SWING SEEN AT RIVER-SIDE CONFERENCE
Eager to Be Rid of San Diego, Suggests Immerial, San Bernardino and Riverside for One District, Leaving Orange and San Diego for Another; Mutilation of Orange Looms in the Future.

Anaheim Men In National Guard See Graf Zeppelin
Ten Anaheim men, a part of Company F, 185th Infantry, California National Guard, were afforded a chance to closely inspect the Graf Zeppelin, when their company was given special guarding duty around the great dirigible. The Orange county detachment went on duty at 7 o'clock Monday morning and in the evening, some time before the airship's departure. It was detailed to inner guard duty directly about the ship.
Captain Donald Winans of Anaheim was the only known Anaheimer to get around the Zeppelin, ins much as the only other home-town than given an invitation was Secretary George Reid of the Chamber of Commerce, whose invitation came to him a day late.
The nine Anaheim men who were with the company besides Winans were Corporal John Heide, Privates Ed Long, Herbert and Herman Lenz, Ira and Leo Rutledge, Edwin Osher, Albelter and Hamlyn.

Under guise of adopting resolutions favoring two congressmen from citrus growing counties of Southern California, friends of Congressman Swing, at a political conference held in the Riverside courthouse some evenings ago, offered a suggestion relative to the formation of a new Congress district embracing Imperial, San Bernardino and Riverside, which has produced a very unfavorable reaction here.
Delegations from Orange and Riverside counties, and some from San Bernardino, were favorable to including the tri-counties in a new district, and while this would meet with public approval here, that district would depend upon the fact of whether or not San Diego and Imperial counties have population enough to form a district of their own. While population sharks are over present with fantastic claims to population, the census man has a bad habit of coming along and finding the number of people far less, and it is not believed the two southern counties have sufficient people to justify a district. It is ardently honed in this section that those counties will show sufficient population next year when the census is taken to form their district; for it would then be plain sailing for the tri-counties, which have well over the congressional ratio of 282,000. Figures given at the conference placed this ratio as low as 250,000, but this is low by 32,000 or over.
When all is said and done, it seems to be quite evident that, if the two southern counties fall in population, the counties of Imperial, Riverside and San Bernardino will undoubtedly be created into a new congressional district. This is what Congressman Swing desires for he wishes to cut loose from San Diego and will have a powerful word to say regarding new alignments. This will be hard for Orange county to take, for it does not care to be embraced in a district with San Diego, and it does not relish the idea of being mutilated by the legislature with the southern half of the county in the San Diego district and the northern half in a district with Whittier and Pomona.
This is inevitably what will follow if Orange and San Diego shall have more than sufficient population to justify a single district. Congressman Swing is not alone in objecting to domination by San Diego, for Orange feels the same antipathy towards its southern neighbor. That county refused to stand for L. A. West, the strongest candidate before the San Diego Congressional convention of former days, although West could and would have been elected, San Diego捍 its support to R. C. Harbison of San Bernardino and then knifed him at the polls supporting its own Democratic candidate, Kettner. It also knifed J. C. Needham for Congress in the following campaign and re-elected Kettner. San

single district. Congressman Swing is not alone in objecting to domination by San Diego, for Orange feels the same antipathy towards its southern neighbor. That county refused to stand for L. A. West, the strongest candidate before the San Diego Congressional convention of former days, although West could and would have been elected, San Diego threw its support to R. C. Harbison of San Bernardino and then knifed him at the police supporting its own Democratic candidate, Kettner. It also knifed J. C. Needham for Congress in the following campaign and re-elected Kettner. San Diego has not done clean politics, preferring a Democratic San Diego man for Congress rather than a Republican from another county. Orange county will have none of her southern neighbor politically, and there are many people here who would prefer to take pot luck with Los Angeles. It is a condition and not a precedent which confronts us. Re-districting will not be taken up until the legislature meets in 1931, and much water will run under the political bridge before that time arrives.
Whether Orange shall be included in the district with San Diego or whether it shall be mutilated, the southern part going to San Diego and the northern part into Los Angeles, is a matter which is giving our people considerable concern. It seems entirely reasonable that Swing will succeed in getting away from San Diego and forming a new district comprising San Bernardino, Imperial and Riverside counties.
Those present at the conference from Orange county were T. B. Talbert of Huntington Beach whose name has been mentioned as a probable candidate for Congress, Frank Tausech of this city, Deputy County Clerk Earl Abey and Stanley Reinhaus of Santa Ana, Howard Irwin of Fullerton and C. Newton of Orange. Frém Riverside there was Frank Miller, big chief from the Glenwood forest, and a number of medicine men off the Reservation. From San Bernardino Senator Ralph Swing, brother of the Congressman, and a number of braves from the desert. Another conference may be held in the near future.
Monday, September 2, 12:30 to 1:30 p.m.-Band concert Orange County Band; 1:30 to 2 p.m.-Exhibitors program; 3:30 to 4:30 p.m.-Dancing program; the Countant School of Dancing; 4:30 to 5:15 p.m.-Exhibitors program; 6:30 p.m.-Band concert Orange County Band; 8:30 p.m.-Music and dancements include racing numbers on ing. the Countant School of Dancing.

Rodeo program, including racing numbers, afternoons and evenings of Friday, Saturday and Monday, August 30 and 31, and September 2, and for Sunday-afternoon a livestock parade and pony show, to which 25 cents admission will be charged.
E. W. Baum and family are spending a fortnight at Sequoia National Park. During Mr. Baum's absence his position as mail carrier is being filled by Carlton S. Barthelmes.
San Bernardino stands in particularly favorable position so far as mutilation is concerned, for it does not join either of the two southern counties. This mutilation will come to either Orange or Riverside counties, and the question naturally arises, "What will the harvest be?"
San Diego is sitting pretty, for whatever district she shall be found in, she will dominate, whether it be with Imperial or one of the northern counties adjoining. San Diego has a scant 200-000 population, according to estimates, and the addition of Orange would make a new district top heavy. The wish is earnestly expressed bereabouts that the two southern counties may show a sufficient increase by next year to justify creation of a district. It would then be easy sailing for the tri-counties which have a combined population well above the required ratio. The state election next year may have an important bearing upon re-apportionment which is a year and a half off in the future.
Senator Edwards of Orange was not present at the meeting. His name has been mentioned as a candidate for Congress in one of the new districts.
Harvesting Is In Walnut
The quality of a walk greatly reduced by poor methods, according to my farm advisor's office. Deor director of the eld station, brought out the study of harvesting many years ago. Wor recent times has but Batchelor's original fin.
Harvesting costs vary pound to 5e per pound cost of production figure Los Angeles county for years. Quality of nuts with the method used, ently is a distinct advantage over the groves early in early maturing nuts frofore they hang in the land also by picking frequent intervals during season. There also appear advantage gained by the practices which tend to harvest.
Improved methods of different operations used in harvesting will aid a demonstration nut Sawyer Ranch on Satur7. This demonstration of the progress of the Walnut Growers Field on that date to begin at Puacher Valley Walnut cation packing house in Growers are invited basket lunch and plan of it with their neighgh growers from all over part of the state.

HIBITS SHOWN AT THE CITY
TWO PEOPLE DIE AS RESULT OF CRASHES
HEAD-ON AUTO ACCIDENT OCCURS EARLY SUNDAY NEAR LOS ALAMITOS
Fred Curtiss White, Los Angeles clubman and president of the Los Angeles Advertising firm that bears his name, was instantly killed at 6:30 Sunday morning when returning from San Diego he crashed into a sedan.
Bumper Crop Of Persimmons Is Predicted
Persimmons of Northern Orange county will produce another bumper crop, and they will bring prices either as good or better than last year's, according to the president of the Central Orange County Persimmon Exchange, J. M. Alcorn.
Last year this co-operative group marketed slightly more than 600 tons of fruit, all as medium and small sizes. Prospects are for larger sizes this year, but for fewer fruit.
The increase in size will more than offset the loss that might be expected from the smallness of the fruit. Mr. Alcorn said.
In preparation for the crop, expected to start to the markets about October 1, the exchange has leased the old Osborne packing house in Fullerton, where box shook is being accumulated for the pack. Membership in the Exchange now exceeds the 100 mark, and includes growers from Santa Barbara to Riverside.
As an experiment a small tonnage of fruit was shipped to the London markets last year when it found such favor with the British palate that a considerable quantity of the fruit will be shipped overseas this year.

Harvesting Is Factor In Walnut Quality
Fred Curtiss White, prominent Los Angeles clubman and president of the Los Angeles Advertising firm that bears his name, was instantly killed at 8:30 Sunday morning when returning from San Diego he crushed into a sudden courier by Mr. and Mrs. J.C. Weber of Berkeley. White was driving his roadster on the wrong side of the road and because of this foot is thought to have been asleep at the time. White was returning home travelling on the West Seventeenth street, near the Los Angeles cut-off road when the hand-on collision occurred. There was a light for at the time which may have been nearly responsible for the accident. Both cars were completely demolished.
White's body was taken to a general prison in Santa Ana where an inmate was held on Tuesday. He is survived by his wife, an eight-year-old daughter and his mother. His first handler advertising for the Richfield Oil Company and White was remanded to have been the best copy-writer in the city.
Mrs. Weber 52 received fractured arm and leg and internal injuries of a serious nature though officials of St. Mary's Hospital Long Beach, where she and her husband were taken, report some improvement in her condition. Her husband is not badly hurt.
Walking down the P.E. car tracks at Huntington Beach his arms clined with wood gathered from the beach which he was going to exchange for food at a highway concession, a man thought to be about forty years old extremely thin and about half starved was struck down by Palp E. car and instantly killed.
For some time previous he had been collecting the driftwood that had been washed up on the shore and apparently satisfied that he had enough started walking down the tracks to the stand. The car whistled and the motorman slowed down his car, exerting the man to step aside. It seemed to eye-witnesses that the whistle only served to make the man step directly to the center of the tracks. The car hit him with enough force to fracture his skull. The man wore brown trousers, brown shirt and an old pair of shoes. His pockets showed only a note-book with the name "Al Clark" written in it. He had been around the beach for a few days, but told no one of himself. Coroner Brown, together with Herman Zabel of the county identification department, and C.W. Wolford are endeavoring to trace the man's history. The body is in a Huntington Beach mortuary.
City Council Meeting Held
Next Session To Be On Tuesday, September Tenth
Gasoline for city cars will be bought at 14½ cents, the city council decided in its last week's meeting, awarding a contract to furnish 20,000 gallons to Harold R. Chandler, 617 E. Center street. Haper's Radio Company, Alhambra, will install a speaking system in the city park theatre, the board decided. Bids for the purchase of a 1½ to 2-ton truck as advertised will be opened at the board's next meeting.
Three chlorinators, a part of the sewer outfall improvement program, are to be bought from Wallace & Tiernan Company; at a cost of $4,554.
An order was approved for the acquisition of property necessary to the widening and improvement of West Center street, between Palm and West streets, and the city engineer designated to take charge. City Attorney George Holden is to handle the legal proceedings at a total fee of $500. The widened street will be $9.5 feet, or 44.75 feet from center line to curb.
Bids for cast-iron water pipe in three quantities, with 16,000 pounds of fittings were received and are to be studied over. The pipe will be used in the reconstruction of the city water system in concordance with a survey made last winter.
A resolution from the Lions club asking the installation of "Anaheim" boulevard signs was submitted to the council. It was accepted and filed. It pointed out that the erection of signs along the entrances to the city would be seen by thousands of motorists.
Protest of Palm street property owners against the recently approved plan to change the frontage between North and La Palma streets from single family residence zoning to a multiple family residence zone, resulted in a motion by Councilman Grafton to refer the zone change back to the planning commission. There is some objection being registered to the proposal. A petition containing fourteen names of property owners believed to represent more than 75 per cent of the frontage was presented by C.J. Nenno in support of the zone change. Nenno said building operations were being delayed by the Will Be Shipped, Which Will Be 10,000 More Than Last Season: Florida Has Marketed the Largest Crop in its History. Despite the Fruit Fly Infestation: Advertising Has Paid Greatly.
Nine million boxes of oranges will comprise the shrimps of the California Fruit Growers' Exchange this season, members of the Villa Park-Olive Farm Center wrote at their meeting last week in the Orange high school by Dale R. King manager of the Northern Orange County Exchange. This stuntous output will total about 40,000 cars, 10,000 more than last year's shipment.
It is interesting and very surprising to learn that despite all that is said concerning the fruit fly's infestation of and damage to Florida's valencia crop, that state has marketed the largest crop in its history without seriously affecting the auction markets.
Florida oranges also are small, this year but, insisted of this fact, at no time during the present marketing season has the market been denormalized.
The small sizes of the present year were due to the fact that the oranges for some unknown reason had not thinned themselves as is usual and to the fact that growth had been deterred by the cold winter and spring. But for the growing custom of the people to drink orange juice, the problem would have been a more serious one. Orange county has 10,000 juice extractors.
It is estimated that about 11,600 cars of valencias remain to be shipped, nearly twice the quantity to be diagnosed at this time in years of normal production, but it also is estimated that there will be some droppage and that this, with other causes, probably will belong to the total to about 10,500 cars After September 1, when school has begun, the demand for oranges will increase and by November 1 it is thought that there will be only the usual number, about 5,700 cars, remaining to be shinned.
Everything is being done to discourage the importation of Japanese oranges to Canadian and American markets in November. Association managers have had a difficult year, owing to the peculiar situation.
"The heavy crop has been a problem but the worst thing that could happen to the orange industry would be several years of light crops as this would raise the price of oranges to the consumer and I believe that for some time only a light crop average could be marketed. You cannot develop consumption unless the prices are reasonable."
Advertising has cost the state exchange about $15,000,000 since the campaign was begun about fifteen years ago, or an average of $40 an acre to crowers for this entire period, while more than $50 a year has been gained per dollar every year in increased valuations.
Foreign shipments are increasing and at the present shipments to the
Harvesting Is Factor In Walnut Quality
The quality of a walnut crop can be greatly reduced by poor harvesting methods, according to reports from the farm advisor's office Dr. L. D. Batcheler, director of the citrus experiment station, brought out this fact in his study of harvesting methods a good many years ago. Work done in more recent times has but borne out Dr. Batcheler's original findings.
Harvesting costs vary from 1.6¢ per pound to 5¢ per pound as shown by cost of production figures gathered in Los Angeles county for the past two years. Quality of nuts seems to vary with the method used. There apparently is a distinct advantage in getting over the groves early and shaking the early maturing nuts from the trees before they hang in the hull very long, and also by picking the nuts up at frequent intervals during the harvest season. There also appears to be an advantage gained by the use of other practices which tend to speed up the harvest.
Improved methods of harvesting, cost of different operations and machinery used in harvesting will be discussed and a demonstration made at the W. S. Sawyer Ranch on Saturday, September 7. This demonstration will be a part of the progress of the Ninth Annual Walnut Growers Field Day to be held on that date to begin at 10 a.m., at the Puente Valley Walnut Growers' Association packing house in Puente.
Growers are invited to bring their basket lunch and plan to make a day of it with their neighbors and walnut growers from all over the southern part of the state.
Protest of Palm street property owners against the recently approved plan to change the frontage between North and La Palma streets from single family residence zone, resulted in a motion by Councilman Grafton to refer the zone change back to the planning commission. There is some objection being registered to the proposal. A petition containing fourteen names of property owners believed to represent more than 75 per cent of the frontage was presented by C. J. Nenno in support of the zone change. Nenno said building operations were being delayed by the failure of the council to act on the planning commission recommendation.
A resolution asking that the re-grading, smoothing and oiling of unpaved streets and alleys be assessed to abutting property instead of the city treasury was accepted and filed from the planning commission. It also submitted a plan approving the change of zone from single family residence to light industrial usage in a region bounded on the east by the Southern Pacific right of way, on the north by Santa Ana street, on the south by a parallel line 587 feet distant southerly from the south line of Santa Ana street and on the west by Walnut street. The recommendation was accepted and filed.
Anaheim's share in the July maintenance of the county outfall sewer system, which was accounted for O. E. Steward, engineer.
The police report for last month revealed many activities. Seven men were arrested for liquor possession, nine for drunkenness, one for opium handling, and two for fictitious checks. Warrants were drawn on the city last two weeks as follows, according to City Clerk Edward B. Merritt: General fund, $10,362.37; improvement fund, $480.27; total $10,842.64.
The council's next meeting will be held Tuesday night, September 10, and every alternate Tuesday thereafter.
Miss Winifred Melrose, Miss Florence Backs, Master Dick Melrose and Mrs. Konig are home from a very enjoyable fortnight's outing at Balbon.
Fullerton Couple Arrested Here
J. A. Biers, 32, paid fines totaling $200 in the court of Judge Eldon Stark when he appeared Monday on drunk and possession charges. His wife paid a fine of $25 on a drunk charge. The Biers live at 528 West Amerige street. Fullerton.
They were arrested when the car in which they were riding collided with another car at Lennon Center streets. No one was injured.

Chinaman Closes Store When He Is Given Probation
"It ain't what it used to be," said the Chinaman, as he pondered over his home-town goods grown stale from old age. It was Henry Kom. Anaheim Chinee who was speaking in Justice James Allen's court, Santa Ana, after he had been granted two years' probation on a charge of possession of opium, to which he had pleaded guilty.
Kom has been a groceryman here for ten years and business was good at first, when there were some twenty Chinese customers. But since they have been reduced to one, and their departure has been clearly noticeable in Mr. Kom's trade. The business, it seems is doomed, for Kom is to be placed in the custody of a cousin in Los Angeles.
Kom denied that he ever had sold opium. When he was arrested he had ten or twelve toys of the drug in his possession, he said. One toy lasts him about four weeks, according to his story. He has not used opium for the last three weeks, which he has spent in the Orange County hospital.

Figures Wrong, Taxes Higher
Associated Oil Company Wants $7.923 Tax Refund
When the officials of the Associated Oil Company gave the report of the company for 1928-29 to County Assessor James Sleeper, the oil production of their Anaheim lease was reported too high by 360,000 barrels. It was an error which did no whit of good for the company, since it sent the company's taxes unward over $7,000.
And the report of this production was made to County Assessor James Sleeper Furthermore the taxes on this production assessed at $201,657, have been paid. The oil company claims to be financially embarrassed to the extent of $7,923.57, which it is seeking to have refunded in a hearing before the board of supervisors.
This situation struck the supervisors as rather unusual. In fact so much so that they conferred in their committee room. W. S. Badger, tax attorney for the Associated Oil Company, admitted that it was unusual. In fact he declared that it was a very unusual situation. He stated that the error was entirely his own. The board hasn't decided what to do in regard to the request of the oil company.
Badger stated that the error was not discovered in the production reports because these were correct. The mistake was made in his own office, he said. In computations made there when the figures were being gone over. The mistake was discovered some time last May, he said.
The period for which the error was made was from March. 1927, to February. 1928. Badger said pointing out that he had communicated with Sleeper about the mistake last June.
Kiwanians Dedicate Home at Idylwild
On the coming Labor Day week-end the Anaheim Kiwaniis Club is holding a dedication party at their newly completed mountain home. This spacious lodge, located at Idylwild, is to become the scene of a three-day outing by Anaheim Kiwanians and their families.
A Six-Day Run; Biggest and Best Fair Yet Put On; Pioneer Days is the Theme Running Through the Displays; Rodeo Is One of the Features, as is Indian Camp. Auto Show and Livestock Exhibit.
Uahered in with all the pomp and circumstance befitting the great pagent that it is, the Orange County Fair commenced its thirteenth annual season with a most auspicious opening. Throughout the six days that the exposition will remain under way, there will be, besides the many and varied displays, an ever-changing program given elsewhere in this paper.
The exhibits of the fair are enclosed in the front tent which is nearly 600 feet long. Artisans have successfully transformed it into a suitably beautiful structure for the various displays. It is bedecked with fruits and flowers, trimmed with colors, and has its poles apparently metamorphosed into great palm trees.
Joining Anaheim in community exhibits are Santa Ana, Orange, Garden Grove, Yorba Linda, Tustin, West Orange and Escondido. The National Orange Show at Riverside, Southern California Fair, Bee Keepers' Association and Los Angeles County Fair also have large displays.
The automobile tent is interesting in that, besides all modern methods of road traveling that are shown, a Newport-built boat display, and an aeroplane exhibit are included.
There is a livestock department which contains finely bred horses, hogs, sheep and cattle. The poultry exhibit is also praiseworthy, and the pet animal display interesting.
Nightly, a rodeo will be held which is in charge, by the way, of Santa Ana's cowboy mayor F. L. Purinton.
An Indian village takes its place as one of the more popular points of the fair. Here the redmen display their handiwork and give some impression of their primitive mode of living. They are led by Chief Black Hawk and Chief Big Tree, who have brought their tribes over from Arizona.
The Artists' Colony from Laguna Beach has listed many of its finest pieces of work in oil. In a display that also holds canned fruit and other examples of the household arts.
The fair this year is indeed, a glorious fruition of the county's desire to ever do better in its public displays. Such local men and women as Harold Wahlberg, county farm advisor, and the man responsible for the fair's display of sub-tropical fruits, George E. Kelley, in charge of the agricultural department, S. W. Stanley, in charge of livestock displays, F. L. Purinton, Charles Van Wyk, in charge of the Junior Fair, John Regan of the auto salon, Mrs. J. V. Kelsey, in charge of the women's department, and many others are to be complimented for their successful endeavor to create the best fair of them all.

Kiwanians Dedicate Home at Idylwild
On the coming Labor Day week-end the Anaheim Kiwanis Club is holding a dedication party at their newly completed mountain home. This spacious lodge, located at Idylwild, is to become the scene of a three-day outing by Anaheim Kiwanis and their families. Horseback riding, dancing, swimming and hiking are to be the principal diversions. Arrangements have been made to care for all who are making the trip. The Elks Club Cafe staff are to be taken along to furnish the meals. The entire membership is looking forward to one of the most enjoyable social functions ever held by the local Kiwanis Club.
Local Man In Auto Accident
Carl Freeman, who lives in the Valencia Hotel, Anaheim, was slightly injured in a motor accident Sunday night in Los Alamitos, according to an accident report filed with Sheriff Sam Jernigan.
Freeman was taken to the Anaheim hospital, following the collision, by Bert Ackerson of 1511 East Elm street, Wilmington.
Freeman stated in his report that a car passing him cut in too soon and struck the front hub cap of his car, causing it to swerve to the center of the road, where it struck another car. He failed to get the names of the other parties.
Gerald Whitaker, son of Postmaster Harry Whitaker, was an Anaheim visitor on Tuesday last. He stopped here on his way to Hartford, where he is a delegate to an insurance convention. While here Gerald renewed acquaintances with old friends and expressed himself as glad indeed to see the prosperous conditions here.
Wahlberg, county farm advisor, and the man responsible for the fair's display of sub-tropical fruits, George E. Kelley, in charge of the agricultural department, S. W. Stanley, in charge of livestock displays, F. L. Purinton, Charles Van Wyk, in charge of the Junior Fair, John Regan of the auto salon, Mrs. J. V. Kelsey, in charge of the women's department, and many others are to be complimented for their successful endeavor to create the best fair of them all.
The tearing up of the county highway between Santa Ana and Anaheim should not materially dampen the desire of tourists to travel over it to reach the show; for it presents no great need for patience in going over it.
To have the citizens of the county back a county project is praiseworthy, yet none so praiseworthy as to back one of the exceptional worth of this year's fair. And such has been the response to the fair, so strong have indications been from the crowds of the first two days, there is little doubt, indeed, that all attendance records will go by the boards when the show comes to its end on next Monday, Labor Day.
Ten Days Spent On the County
A nap in a doorway cost A. Castillo, 43, of 314 Elm street ten days of freedom when he appeared in Judge Eldon Stark's court yesterday on a charge of being intoxicated. He was unable to pay a $10 fine and was taken to the county jail by Officer Sidebottom.
Art Espinoza, 224 Oak street, appearing in the police court, was given $100 fine or 50 days in jail on a possession charge, and $25 fine or ten days in jail on a drunk charge. Espinoza was arrested in a car in which he was traveling with three other men. A small quantity of marijuana and a half jug of "dago red" was found in the car, officers said.
Earl Jackson has a bouncing baby girl at his home, who arrived on Monday, weighing seven and a half pounds. Mother and child are doing well and Earl is passing around cigars.
