ITS MANY ATTRACTIONS Make Anaheim a city eminently desirable for home and industry alike. California's climate, Orange county soil, and its own progressiveness make it "one in a million." VOLUME LX OUT=OF=TOWN PEOPLE CONGRESS LINES NOW BEFORE VOTERS WHERE WILL ORANGE COUNTY BE IN NEW ALIGNMENT? San Diego Meeting Places Orange in District with Riverside and Imperial; Riverside Meeting Says Orange; Riverside and San Bernardino; Suggestion that State May Have Eleven New Congressmen Seems To Local Observers to be a Trifle High; Great Increase in Southern Counties. Orange county with an estimated population in 1932 of 133,000, has been tentatively placed in the 21st congressional Anaheim Boys Receive Honors In School Together Many Years; Now at the University Three local lads who have been in school together for a dozen years or more and among whom the closest bond of friendship has all along subsisted, have been honored recently at U. S. C. where they are getting excellent grades in their sophomore and freshman years. Two of them started at the Primary in 1916, and the third began the following year. They went along together through Central, Fremont, and A. U. H. S., and now find themselves at the University, where their friendships remain steadfast and enduring. Francis Bushard was elected president of the Sophomore Pharmacy class and his younger brother Joe, not wishing that all the honors for the family should go to a single member, entered the race for president of the Freshman Pharmacy class and won out handily. These boys are the sons of Mr. and Mrs. Louis Bushard and are an honor to their parents and the community.

The 1931 session of the State Legislature will be called upon to redistrict the state into congressional divisions. The tentative apportionment was made at a recent meeting in San Diego of representatives of each of the southern counties, headed by Colonel Eric Fowler of Los Angeles. California's population in 1932, it was estimated, will be 6,143,000. If this prediction is correct, the state will then be entitled to 22 congressmen, as it is estimated that each congressional district will contain a population of about 275,000 average for the entire United States. Accordingly under the proposed plan, Southern California was given 12 congressional districts and Northern California 10. The proposed districts are: District No. 1—Sonoma, Napa, Yolo, Colusa, Lake, Mendocino, Glenn, Tehama, Trinity, Humboldt, Siskiyou, Del Norte, Shasta. District No. 2—Madrona, Merced, Stanislaus, Mariposa, Tuolumne, Calaveras, Alpine, Amador, El Dorado, Placer, Sutter, Yuba, Nevada, Sierra, Butte, Plumas, Lassen, Modoc.

Orange County At State Fair Will Participate in Festivities in Eightieth Anniversary Orange county will again be invited to participate with an exhibit at the 1930 California State Fair celebrating the state's 80th anniversary. This decision was reached by members of the State Fair Board at their meeting at Sacramento this week."Eighty Years of Progress"will be the slogan of the celebration. Next year's Tair will be worked out in conjunction with the Native Sons and Daughters of the Golden Westwho will hold their state convention while the fair is in progress.Committees from the fair board and grand officers of the society will cooperate in preparing the program.

"These districts are not arranged with any consideration for the present incumbents in congress," the various southern county representatives were told when the plan was presented to them. At present the entire proposal is in Southern California. If it gains the support of the ten counties there, it will be offered to the Central and Northern California counties. Another Version A Congressional district composed of Riverside, Orange and San Bernardino was formally approved at Riverside by a committee of the Riverside County Republican Central Committee. Senator Edwards and Assemblyman Kline both spoke in favor of the three-county plan for a Congressional district. Senator Edwards stated that Orange county is very strongly opposed to any grouping with a part of Los Angeles county. Both of the legislators stated that they believe Los Angeles will support a plan to form one district of Riverside, Orange and San Bernardino and another of San Diego and Imperial. The organization of chairmen of the Republican committees of the Southern California counties was approved. The next meeting of this organization will be held in Santa Barbara on the 25th inst. Chairman Miller stated that he may not be able to attend and in that event he asked E. P. Clarke, vice-chairman of the committee, to represent Riverside county. At the time of the passage of the re-apportionment bill in the last Congress information from Washington was to the effect that California would gain six and maybe seven new members in the house. The San Diego meeting made this increase eleven new members. This seems large, and current impression here is that it is a little high. A district composed of Orange, Riverside and Imperial counties would leave San Diego all by itself, and that county will hardly have population enough for a single district. However, if such should be the case, it will be daughters of the Golden West, who will hold their state convention while the fair is in progress. Committees from the fair board and grand officers of the society will cooperate in preparing the program. Construction of a general livestock building costing $190,000 at the state fair grounds, as the first unit of the 10-year building program which will modernize the fair's exhibit facilities, was voted by the board. Director Fred H. Bixby of Long Beach was named chairman of a committee to confer with State Architect George B. McDougall regarding final details of the building, to be erected southeast of the present horse show arena. Other members of the committee include Sam H. Greene, Oakland; T. H. Ramsay, Red Bluff; Harold J. McCurry, Sacramento; and John M. Perry, Stockton. The statewide spelling contest between county champions will be continued next year, and $1,050 was appropriated for prizes. An additional $6,500 was set aside for prizes in the educational department. Deceased was aged 67 years, and came to Anaheim in 1854. She leaves one son, Edgar J. Hartung, to mourn her untimely end. John Hartung passed away three years ago last April. He was a pioneer, coming to Anaheim in the early seventies. quite acceptable to Orange county. A district composed of Orange, San Bernardino, and Riverside would have more than enough population. What the result of all these conjectures may be, the future alone can determine, but eleven new congressmen is a thing which seems too good to be true. What Pests Can County Laws Orange county farmers million dollars last year plant pests, it was revealed report of Horticultural sloner A. A. Brock, filed vow of supervisors. The total cost of pest listed in Brock's report, expenses of the commission and operation cost of the Anaheim, amounted to $114.

Persimmons growers from ten counties representing the Southern California Persimmon Growers Association, attended the annual institute and field day held at the Anaheim high school Saturday. The Institute was held under the auspices of the Extension Service. Pepper Crop is Profitable to Growers Orange county pimenton and chill pepper growers will receive more than $65,000 this year from their crops which are delivered to the California Packing Corporation plant. It was revealed by F. W. Grier, manager of the packing plant. The plant is running steadily, but not to capacity, according to Grier. More than $40,000 has been paid out to growers in the county so far this season and the packing plant season is only about half completed. Grier estimates that the season should continue until about December 1, if cold weather does not set in early. The packing house employs 225 women and fifty men and has a pay roll of more than $6000 a week at present. During rush periods the pay roll reaches $10,000 a week. Pimientos are now being packed exclusively. Chill peppers were processed during the earlier part of the season. The plant will pack more than 5,000,000 cans of peppers during the season, according to Grier. The cans are of four ounce, five ounce and one-half ounce sizes. C. A. GUMMERE LAUDS WORK OF G. OF G.

The institute was held under the auspices of the Extension Service and Inter-county Persimmon department of the Farm Bureau. According to A. J. McFadden, president of the association, the California persimmons will not only reach the important of the east, but foreign markets in Europe, Canada, South America, and Australia will be tested out. One hundred and fifty people were in attendance at the meeting. F. W. Read, field representative of the California Fruit Exchange, said that prices for persimmons should be better this year because of the scarcity of other deciduous fruits. The persimmon crop will probably be about the same last year, because of the effect of spring frosts in some of the persimmon producing sections. He pointed out that considerable education among the consumers is necessary to show them how best to utilize the fruit. Repeat sales are often defeated because the consumer tries to eat the fruit too green. P. V. Cannon, newly elected manager of the association, will supervise all packing done by the association in Orange and other counties of the South. M. A. Joslyn, specialist from the fruit by-product division of the University of California, explained methods of drying cull persimmons and the use of frozen pulp for ice cream desserts and milk combinations. After a lunch featuring persimmon ice cream and salads, the meeting adjourned to the field, where stops were made at the Central Orange County Persimmon Packing House at Fullerton; W. E. Slever's and P. J. Weisel's groves at La Habra. At these stops, J. M. Alcorn, chairman of the Persimmon Department, explained packing methods; Harold E. Wahlberg old of the pruning experiments on persimmons in Orange County; and Prof. R. W. Hodgson discussed irrigation. The following growers were elected to act as directors for the Inter-County Persimmon Growers Department during the coming year: W. P. Elliott and J. A. Blaine, Monrovia; N. B. Curtis, Redlands; S. E. Goodall and Mr. Cotell, Owensmouth; W. E. Slever, La Habra; J. M. Alcorn, Fullerton; H. F. Taylor, Atwood; H. R. Smith, Tustin; A. J. McFadden, Irvine; Harold E. Wahlberg, Farm Advisor, Orange County; M. B. Rounds, Farm Advisor, Los Angeles County; and H. J. Wilder, Farm Advisor, San Bernardino County. Agriculture at The County Farm Large Revenue Derived From Diversified Crops Most folks who have journeyed through Orange county have seen the imposing buildings of the Orange county Farm. The farm is conducted not only to care for those whose lives have not been successful, but actually to return something of profit to the county itself. Most of the profit comes from Valencia oranges which help to form an attractive setting for the buildings. Some of the trees are quite old, the first having been set out as early as 1914, although most of them were planted at later dates. There are twenty-nine acres in bearing now. In 1926, this grove returned to the county $20,000. It hasn't done quite as well as that since, but a tidy sum is realized each season from the fruit. This year it is expected that the grove will break all its own records for production, but it is doubtful if prices will be as high as in some past seasons. It is estimated now that the 1929 Valencia crop will total around 12,000 boxes. The grove serves the county in other ways, for it is used for an experimental plot. Here the county farm adviser, Harold E. Wahlberg, is carrying on fertilizer work and Agricultural Commissioner A. A. Brock is trying out various oil sprays on the trees. The research department of the California Fruit Exchange is using it, also, to find out what measures work best in the fight against insect pests. R. C. Bunch, the farm superintendent, has found that hogs work into the scheme of things very well. First, there is a good deal of garbage to be disposed of and there doesn't appear to be any animal so fitted by nature for a profitable garbage consumer as the hog. Some of these animals are fattened for use on the farm, and the kitchens are supplied with enough fresh pork to meet the appetites of the inmates and provide lard for shortening. The rest are marketed. There is a good deal of garbage from the tables at the county farm, for at present about 300 persons have their meals there. All the City's Industrial Plants in Flourishing Condition According to Reports of Representatives at the Annual Meeting; Business is Increasing; and Plants Expanding, All Declared. One hundred and fifty persons, members of the Anaheim Chamber of Commerce and their wives, attended the annual dinner of that body given at the Elks club house Thursday night and listened to numerous speeches, most of them from heads of industrial enterprises. The new president, H.N. White, presided, having been introduced by Leonard Evans, retiring president. Mr. White made a short address enumerating some of the interests of the Chamber of Commerce and its activities. Dr. C.A.Gummere of Los Angeles was the principal speaker of the evening, who explained the benefits of a town by a live Chamber of Commerce. He declared that there is a tendency on the part of eight persons out of ten to "bleed" their communities out of all that is possible. "The only person who will not learn," said the speaker, "is he who refuses to face facts. Today we have at our command through the newspapers, the radio and other means, more information in a few hours than our forefathers had in a lifetime. We are living in an age when he who cares to do so may reach out and touch the ends of the earth." The speaker then showed how land values and productivity have fallen in the east under tenant practice. "The west is becoming the front door of the nation. If we do not want to take a leaf from the experience of the older states and become unable to care for the millions of people coming to make their homes here we must not permit our cities to become tenanted." said Dr.Gummere. "You will find that there is no organization in any city of Southern California so alive to the needs of the district as is the average chamber of commerce.Join it, do your bit.Don't be one of the eight out of ten who are hanging back and dragging their feet." Representatives of various industrial plants made short reports showing that all are flourishing and expanding. D.J.Bartel representing the Roberts and Huntington fruit machinery plant reported that his firm has a varying payroll that at peak season gives $3000 a week to 75 employees.Within the coming year,the firm expects to see a foundation established in Anaheim to do certain work that now must be done in Santa Ana.Mr.Bartel said.

A. Brock, filed with the board of supervisors. The total cost of pest control, as listed in Brock's report, and including expenses of the commissioner's office and operation cost of the insectary in Anaheim, amounted to $1,431,512.28. Fumigation figures reported to Brock' Fumigation figures reported to Brock's office showed that $676,698.99 was expended in Orange county on this method of control. A total of 2,051,543 trees were fumigated, with 618,617 pounds of gas being used in the process. Spraying costs amounted to $567,-775.93, according to the summary, which said that 1,974,552 citrus trees had been sprayed, 1613 deciduous trees and 31,740 walnut trees. Dusting cost county growers $29,-865.81, with 280,367 citrus trees and 53,227 walnut trees receiving treatment. Tree doctoring expenses totaled $35,982.27. Operation costs for the insectary amounted to $38,867.63 and the expense listed for the commissioner's office was $82,321.65. During the last year the insectary produced 23,692,440 cryptolaemus ladybirds for control of mealybug, which were liberated in 3219 groves. Other parasites to the extent of 14,012,528 were produced and liberated in 401 groves. R. C. Bunch, the farm superintendent, has found that hogs work into the scheme of things very well. First, there is a good deal of garbage to be disposed of and there doesn't appear to be any animal so fitted by nature for a profitable garbage consumer as the hog. Some of these animals are fattened for use on the farm, and the kitchens are supplied with enough fresh pork to meet the appetites of the inmates and provide lard for shortening. The rest are marketed. There is a good deal of garbage from the tables at the county farm, for at present about 300 persons have their meals there. The Orange County Farm is particular about the quality of its hogs and has a herd of pure-bred Berkshires. Nowadays it doesn't show them at any fair other than the one in Orange county, but in days gone by, its Violet Festline, one of the early matrons of the herd, won fourteen grand championships Her blood still courses in the veins of some of the hogs on the place Recently a typy young herd boar Von Baron, was bought in Colorado to keep up the quality of the stock. The dwellers at the farm, some sick many feeble, have to have a lot of milk, and so an excellent herd of Holsteins is maintained. The cows and the barn are kept spick and span, while the cooling house is a model of sanitation, so that the product may be absolutely pure. The herd is kept down in size and only the best helfers are retained for replacement purposes. Along the river bank, where the soil isn't adapted to orange trees, enslave is grown to fill the silo. Some barley hay is produced here also, largely for the horses. Mr. and Mrs. M. Henry Entertain Guests Mr. and Mrs. Murdock Henry entertained last week at their beach home on Balboa Isle, Mrs. Ira Barker Dalziel of San Francisco, who was joined later by her distinguished husband, Dr. Dalziel. After having a very pleasant visit at the Henry home, they drove to Hollywood to visit friends and relatives. During her stay, Mrs. Dalziel was entertained with Mr. and Mrs. Henry for dinner at the home of Mrs. Henry's parents, Mr. and Mrs. J. T. Chilecoat of Santa Ana. Dr. and Mrs. Dalziel are just returning from Hawaii, having spent a most enjoyable two months' visit.

Number 3 STREET PARADE Much Property Owned by Cities California Municipalities Have Large Investments in Betterments California cities and towns own more than three-quarters of a billion dollars worth of property, public buildings, ground and equipment. Of this figure, Anaheim's property investment totals $1,247,588 according to a report made by State Controller Riley. Apparently the municipalities of this state believe in bigger and better parks, as $101,332,579 of the aggregate property values is represented by parks and public playgrounds. Every year witnesses more and more municipalities adding such parks to their city-owned property. The necessity of protecting homes and business houses from destruction by fire has caused the 270 municipalities of the state to carry fire equipment, including engines, fire houses, hook-and-ladder trucks, chemical equipment, etc., valued at more than $23,901,886. Libraries, to be found in virtually every municipality in California, represent a total investment of $19,529,116. City halls aggregate $37,130,981 in value.

Eight committees composed Orchard Patrol On Job Again Farmers throughout Orange county are expressing satisfaction over the fact that the board of supervisors has ordered resumption of the activities of the special fruit patrol, consisting of six deputies. Action was taken by the board in this matter Tuesday. The patrol will start its activity again today in accordance with the board's decision, and will protect the citrus groves and poultry pens of the county. The men are to be paid salaries of not more than $200 a month, according to the motion passed by the board. Rewards for arrest and conviction of thieves, which were in effect last year, will be offered again. In the case of petty theft the reward is $100 and in the case of grand theft it is $250. Deputies who acted last year on the patrol were Sam Snodgrass and Leonard Whalen of Anaheim; Fred Swayze of Orange; Walter Dungan of Garden Grove; Thomas Scudder and Lloyd Fuller of Santa Ana. Slight Slump in Citrus Shipments Citrus shipments from the northern Orange county district during the past week were lighter than the previous week with 350 cars being sent out to eastern markets. This number was somewhat under the quota set as necessary to move the heavy crop this year. Labor for picking the fruit is scarce this year and accounts to a certain extent for the slow movement of the Selected to Arrange the Hallowe'en Celebration; Many New Features Added This Year; Outside Communities Expected to Participate and Contest for the Numerous Prizes Offered. President Kurt Epstein of the Merchants and Manufacturers association has announced the committeemen who will stage the annual Hallowe'en festival to be held on Thursday evening, October 31. Eight committees composed of more than fifty men and women were selected by President Epstein to handle the work, and they expect to provide an entertainment that will exceed in interest any of the three preceding ones. Heretofore, the participants in the parade have all been Anaheim citizens, but this year a number of our neighbors will be represented. Some have requested permission to have entry in the street parade, which is the paramount feature, and the request has been accepted. In fact, a general invitation has been extended to all towns and communities to participate and contest for the prizes. The ingenuity of the best artists in the city will be exercised in the decorations of the business houses. They will have the experience of the three preceding festivals to assist them, and some unique and beautiful creations are expected to result from their labors. Cash prizes, as large as the condition of the treasury will permit, will be paid to the winners in window decorations and unique exhibits in the parade. There will be spirited contests for these prizes. Following are the committees announced by Mr. Epstein, Tuesday. The finance committee had not been chosen at that time. Parade: Henry Adams, H. C. Kler, Jack Landale, M. P. Thomson, R. L. Phegley, Vic LaMont, J. E. Schumacher, Harry Macres, J. C. Chamberlain, and August Elliste. Window decorations: Ed Schneider, F. A. Yungbluth, H. J.

Check Kiters Make Two Good Hauls Slight Slump in Citrus Shipments Citrus shipments from the northern Orange county district during the past week were lighter than the previous week with 350 cars being sent out to eastern markets. This number was somewhat under the quota set as necessary to move the heavy crop this year. Labor for picking the fruit is scarce this year and accounts to a certain extent for the slow movement of the crop. Market conditions in some parts of the east were not as favorable during the past week although in New York the demand is good following the teamsters' strike, which prevented a heavy movement of fruit during its progress. The Northern Orange County Citrus exchange shipped 220 cars of valencias and four cars of lemons during the week. The crop this year was one of the largest in the history of the industry, with small sizes predominating. Large Sum For Lease in Anaheim The largest real estate transaction in recent history of the county by which the United Stores Realty Corporation of New York obtains a ninety-nine-year lease on the Anaheim business block formerly owned by the late Theodore Roberts, at a figure of nearly $2,000,000 for rental, was placed in escrow with the First National Bank, Anaheim. The property has a frontage of 250 feet on West Center street and a depth of 325 feet, including almost an entire block. It also has a large frontage on Lemon street. The new Fox California Theater, an apartment-house, hotel, garage, and sixteen store rooms now occupy the building. It belongs to P. N. Ashley, Woodland geologist, who bought it from the Roberts estate a year ago. The property is valued at $310,000. The transaction was completed by the Patch Realty Company, San Bernardino. Check Kitters Make Two Good Hauls Two Anaheim banks, the First National and the Bank of Italy, were mulleted out of $600 by two bad check operators. Chief Bouldin of Anaheim reports. Other banks in Fullerton and Buena Park, suffered from the visits of the two men, it was said. The two men appeared at the Anaheim banks last Saturday with checks on the Superior Oil company. They posed as employees of the company and on the strength of their claims the First National gave them $350 and the Bank of Italy $250. Wednesday morning the checks came back, refused by the oil company as bogus. The men were dressed like oil workers and appeared to be about 30 years old. They presented their automobile drivers' cards as a means of identification. They gave the names of Henry Schwartz and J. R. Wallace. Former Mayor Now Stranger Frank Ey was over from Santa Ana a day or two ago and spent some time in walking about town, noting the many improvements completed since his last visit. He was especially impressed with the many new business edifices erected here, and found them all enjoying a profitable patronage. He was formerly mayor of this city, and has the distinction of being the man who opened and widened Broadway street through the town. He walked along the sidewalks for many blocks, but did not see a single man or woman whom he knew.
