H. Whitaker Announces Carriers Being Overburdened; 202 New Families to be Accommodated by the Change; Twenty Thousand People Now Served by the Postoffice, 6000 Being on Rural Routes. Nothing so accurately registers the growth of a town and the increasing prosperity of its commercial affairs as the business transacted by its postoffice. Therefore Anaheim is steadily growing and its population greater now than ever before, according to a statement made yesterday by Postmaster J. H. Whitaker. Mr. Whitaker announced yesterday that the eight city carries, because of the increase in the number of people they serve, were now so overburdened with work it was found necessary to establish a new route and realign the old ones in order to relieve the situation. Two hundred and two families, heretofore outside the delivery zone will be served by the new carrier. The new territory to be taken in includes the extension of Walnut street south to the Ball Road. Included in this will be Crone avenue, Damon and Amstutz streets. Extension of West Broadway which will take in the Home Oil Co., the Consolidated Ice Co. and Shipkey & Pearson. On the north end a triangular piece of territory bounded by Palm street, La Palma avenue an dthe boulevard will be added. On the east side, east of the Santa Fe railroad, a strip from Sycamore street east, including Vine, Bush and Rose streets. Mr. Whitaker states that the postal regulations require that all houses be numbered, and the occupant must install a proper mail box, otherwise mail will not be delivered at his place. The sidewalks also must be kept in good repair. Uncle Sam is particular about the treatment accorded his employees, and the patrons to whom the mail is delivered free of cost by the carriers, are expected to cooperate and make their task as easy as possible. There must be a re-adjustment of the routes in order to give Carrier No. 9 a territory, consequently many people will probably find themselves on different route. There are now eight city carriers, four rural carriers and one parcel post carrier. At the time of the last readjustment, in 1924, the postal receipts for that year amounted to $46,000. This had steadily increased and the receipts for 1929, five years later, totaled $56,000, a gain of ten thousand dollars. Twenty thousand people are now being served by the Anaheim postoffice, Mr. Whitaker says. Fourteen thousand of these get their mail through city largely on the annual outlook survey just completed by H. R. Wellman, economist, Agricultural Extension service, and his associates. It is a summary of the present available facts bearing upon the future economic conditions of important farm products of this region. "Although the prices for valencias last season were comparatively low, the outlook is favorable for the coming year," said Wahlberg. "The 1929 crop was the largest ever produced in the state and the average size of the fruit was the smallest in the history of the industry. Crops that will average as large as that of 1929 cannot normally be expected for several years, and by that time the demand for valencias oranges probably will be materially greater. "Fortunately the prospective increase in the production of oranges and grapefruit in the other states of the Union probably will not affect the prices of our valencias except during April and May. Our valencias are practically the only oranges in the markets of this country during most of their shipping season. "During recent years there has been a marked upward trend in both shipments and prices of valencias. People not only are eating more oranges during the summer months but they also are paying more for them. Indications are that they upward trend in shipments will continue. In 1929 there were 112,250 acres of valencias in the state, of which 20,850 acres, or 19 per cent, were not yet in bearing and an even larger proportion was not in full bearing and immature valencias are in Orange county. "During the past decade the demand has increased even faster than shipments. The demand is likely to continue to increase, according to Wellman. Prices in 1930 will be more satisfactory to the industry as a whole because of a normal crop of good sized fruit. "The outlook for additional plantings of walnuts is unfavorable, in Orange county no new plantings of size are contemplated, and walnut plantings here have decreased some 3000 acres during the past six years. The production already in prospect in the state probably will be more than sufficient to supply the domestic requirements for unshelled walnuts at the present level of prices, unless there is an extrodinary increase in demand. If such an increase does not occur, the future trend of prices to growers may be expected to be downward. "The total acreage of walnuts in California, which produces about 97 percent of the commercial crop of the nation, amounts to approximately 127,480 acres. Of that amount 87,560 acres, or 69 per cent, are classified as bearing, and 39,920 acres, or 31 per cent, as non-bearing. According to the forecasts of the California Cooperative Crop Reporting service there will be 107,500 acres in bearing by 1832, about 23 per cent greater than the present bearing acreage and about 50 per cent greater than the bearing acreage in 1926.

Nearly two million free school textbooks were printed by the state of California last year, according to Lyman M. King, director of finance, at a saving to the state of approximately $290,000. If the state had bought them at publishers' wholesale rate the cost would have been $601,810. Therefore, the saving was nearly half. The total acreage of walnuts in California, which produces about 97 percent of the commercial crop of the nation, amounts to approximately 127,480 acres. Of that amount 87,560 acres, or 69 per cent, are classified as bearing and 39,920 acres, or 31 per cent, as non-bearing. According to the forecasts of the California Cooperative Crop Reporting service there will be 107,500 acres in bearing by 1932, about 23 per cent greater than the present bearing acreage and about 50 per cent greater than the bearing acreage in 1926. "The production of walnuts in this state amount to an average of 39,000 tons during the past three years, as against an average of 22,500 tons during the three years of 1920-1922, an increase of 16,500 tons, or 69 per cent. A part of this increase has been offset by a decline in imports of unshelled walnuts, which complete most severely with our product. On the other hand, imports of shelled walnuts have been about as large during the past two years as they were in 1921-22. They have, however, been considerably smaller than they were during the three years from 1924-25 to 1926-27. During these three years imports of both shelled and unshelled walnuts were relatively large. "As a result of the prospective increase in domestic production and probability of lower prices in this country, imports of both shelled and unshelled walnuts may average lower during the next few years." Since the imports of unshelled walnuts are now relatively small, it is evident that only a further small increase in the production in this state is required to supply our domestic requirements at the present level of prices. In order to dispose of the large increase in production that is in prospect it probably will be necessary to reduce the prices on the unshelled nuts and to shell a larger proportion of the crop." Sheriff Sam Jernigan was in town the first of the week shaking hands with many friends in this section. Sam is popular with voters hereaway, and many of our citizens are always delighted to meet with him. He will probably be a candidate for re-election and will make a strong run throughout the county.

School Attendance Shows Slump in Orange County Precentage of attendance of students of Orange county elementary schools was slightly lower in 1929 than it was in 1928, according to records sent out from the office of the county superintendent of instruction. Richard P. Mitchell. In 1927 the average attendance was 96.7 percent; in 1928 the average was 96.8 and in 1929 it was 96.49. The highest record made in north Orange county in 1929 was at the Commonwealth school in the Placentia Union district which was 98.46. This is said to be attributed to the fact that only three lower grades are in the school and that attendance is not Interrupted by children working. The averages for the schools of north Orange county outside of Anaheim are: Fullerton, 96.51; Placeenta union 97.8; Breed, 96.7; Buena Park, 96; La Habra, 97.46; Olinda, 96.91; Orangethorpe, 96.15; Yorba, 93.98, and Yorba Linda, 97.44.

It is now reported that the city of Long Beach is negotiating for a tract of 927 acres of water bearing land in the heart of Orange county, and will pay $1,000,000 for it. It lies close to the city limits of Santa Ana, and is said to be the best water bearing land in the county. Some weeks ago it became known that Long Beach was endeavoring to purchase a tract in this county where it could sink wells and drain the Santa Ana river basin for the purpose of providing domestic water for the city and many protests were heard, the Anaheim Union Water Company taking the lead. The Orange county board of supervisors recently adopted a resolution to the city council at Long Beach protesting reported activity of that city in promotion of plans for stepping over into Orange county for development of water. It has generally been supposed that development would be attempted near the Orange-Los Angeles county line. Water engineers have made investigations of the tract in question, with their observations and investigations including the tracing of the source of the supply to the basin underneath Orange county, and their reports have been to the effect that no duplicate area in the county contains the same possibilities for water development. It is said that borings have revealed water gravel of more than 500 foot depth. If Long Beach persists in its efforts to secure this land, litigation in the courts is certain because the aroused citizens of this county will not tamely submit. Many organizations in the county are taking steps for an organized campaign against any attempt by a community outside of Orange county to acquire water bearing lands in the county. In accordance with its decision at the session last week, the county board of supervisors officially adopted a resolution proteging the invasion of the Santa Ana river watershed by Long Beach and urging that any effort to export water from the basin of the Santa Ana river be resisted by the county and by every city and water district in the county. Copies of the resolution were ordered forwarded to the Long Beach city council and to every city in the county. The text of the resolution follows: WHEREAS, the water supply in the Santa Ana River Basin is not sufficient to supply the needs of water for domestic and irrigation purposes to the lands and cities located within the watershed of the Santa Ana River, and the underground supply of water in said Basin The highest record made in north Orange county in 1929 was at the Commonwealth school in the Placeenta Union district which was 98.46. This is said to be attributed to the fact that only three lower grades are in the school and that attendance is not interrupted by children working. The averages for the schools of north Orange county outside of Anaheim are: Fullerton, 96.51; Placenta union, 97.8; Brea, 96.7; Buena Park, 96; La Habra, 97.46; Olinda, 96.91; Orangethorpe, 96.15; Yorba, 93.98, and Yorba Linda, 97.44. County Home Rule To Be Effective Features of Proposed New Law to Solve Present Day Problem No longer will Orange county have to depend upon the state legislature every time it wants to increase a county officer's salary or add a stenographer or deputy in a county office. If the new county "home rule" commission named by Governor Young "does its stuff." This commission was created by the 1929 legislature with the hope of ridling itself each session of a stack of unnecessary county government bills, which take up a lot of time and really should be handled by the counties themselves. Governor Young gave the home rule movement considerable impetus in his message to the legislature, wherein he said: "I would direct your attention to the need for a plan of county government more responsive to the people than is provided by the general provisions of the state constitution. It is not conductive to the best in government that the legislature should determine salaries of county officers and their deputies, and even the number of deputies a county office should have. In practice, this results in the legislative delegation from each county deciding these matters. While it is now possible for each county to frame and adopt a county charter, covering these and other matters, it is seldom done. Local home rule in county affairs should be more easily obtainable." At present the legislative system of regulating county government affairs by the legislature works thus: The counties of the state are divided into 58 classes, according to population. A separate legislative act is passed for the government of each county. When a change is needed, the assemblyman or senator brings in a bill covering the amendment, which must pass through all stages before adoption. "This is one of the most indefensible methods of our legislative system," declares Governor Young. Cities have always been given the right to govern themselves, so why not counties? Members of the commission who Efforts were being made by officers to identify the body of a man, approximately 65 years old, who was run down and killed by an automobile driven by Paul Beckman, of Orange, near Fourth street and Grand avenue, Santa Ana, at 9 o'clock Saturday night. There was nothing in the man's clothing to indicate his identity, officers said. The body was removed to the Harrell and Brown Undertaking parlors where Coroner Charles D. Brown held an inquest. The man was walking north along Grand Avenue. The Beckman machine being driven south, swerved from its regular course to miss a machine reported to have been driven by Clifford D. Cole. In doing so, the car struck the pedestrian. He was instantly killed. Police were called and moved the man to the Santa Ana Valley hospital, where he was pronounced dead. In the car with Beckman at the time were Marie Bidljf and Clara Heim, both of Olive, according to a police report. Officers Perry, Dean and Jenson answered a call to the scene of the accident and took charge. No arrests were made. Officers were of the opinion that the victim was a hobo. He was crippled and walked with a cane, which was found near the body. He was approximately five feet, one inch in height and weighed 120 pounds. He had gray hair and blue eyes. Nine other persons were reported injured in a series of seven other automobile accidents in the county over the week end. Chester C. Scheppard, of Riverside, was slightly hurt and R. B. Alvarado suffered hurts when cars driven by these two collided in the Santa Ana canyon Sunday. Scheppard was arrested on a rockless driving charge and was in Justice Kenneth Morrison's court Monday morning. He pleaded not guilty to the charge and will be given a hearing on March 5. He was released on his own recognition. Donald Angel, son of Percy Angel, of Los Angeles, was cut about the face when he car in which he was riding with his father collided with another machine at a Buena Park intersection, according to a report made to the sheriff's office. Angel made a left turn at the intersection and was struck from the rear, it was reported. Edna Tobias, Los Angeles, was cut and bruised when the automobile in which she was riding with Mrs. Peggy King of the same address turned over.

An elaborate program has been developed, which will be found both educational and entertaining. Herman Allgeyer was in town from Brookhurst on Tuesday, on a brief business mission. Herman has one of the best looking valencia orchards in this section of the county, which replaces a grove of thirty-year-old walnut trees. He looks for favorable crop conditions and good prices for valencias in the eastern market. Secretary George W. Reid, of the Chamber of Commerce, Lotus H. Loudon, of the Bulletin, and H. N. White attended a meeting of Los Angeles Chamber of Commerce at the Ambassador hotel on Monday evening. They had the pleasure of meeting Mr. and Mrs. Coolidge, and heard a notable address by Willis H. Booth. He pleaded not guilty to the charge and will be given a hearing on March 5. He was released on his own recognizance. Donald Angel, son of Percy Angel, of Los Angeles, was cut about the face when he car in which he was riding with his father collided with another machine at a Buena Park intersection, according to a report made to the sheriff's office. Angel made a left turn at the intersection and was struck from the rear, it was reported. Edna Tobias, Los Angeles, was cut and bruised when the automobile in which she was riding with Mrs. Peggy King, of the same address, turned over near Aliso creek, on the Coast highway at 7 o'clock Sunday night. She was removed to her home. Mrs. King, attempted to dodge another car when her machine skidded and overturned, according to a report. C. A. Edwards, Jr., of San Diego, was reported injured when an automobile in which he was riding with Hubert E. Thomas was struck from the rear in a "pile up" of four cars four miles west of Huntington Beach on the Coast highway Sunday. C. La Mothe, of Long Beach, reported to the sheriff's office that several persons in his machine were shaken up when his car was struck from the rear by another machine three miles east of Newport Beach at 3:30 p.m., Saturday. The accident occurred on the Coast highway. C. D. Thompson and his mother, of Santa Ana, were reported injured at 7 o'clock Sunday night at Sixth and French streets when the Thompson machine collided with a Star taxicab, driven by E. H. Cady. H. J. Johnson and his son, Bruce of Orange, were slightly injured in an automobile accident which took place in Orange Saturday night according to hospital reports.

It is not known yet how many will be needed during the year, but City Engineer Hapgood estimates a saving of $2000 over former prices. He believes that 200 will be used during the year and a saving of $10 per standard will be effected. The Anaheim Truck & Transfer Co. was awarded the contract for transporting the posts from the foundry in Los Angeles to this city at $1.50 per post.

Announcement of the appointment of Moves Its Offices To Larger Building Anaheim Building & Loan Association Now on Corner of Lemon and Center The Anaheim Building and Loan Association which, since its establishment, has been located at 114 N. Lemon street, has moved to a new location at the corner of Lemon and Center streets. By reason of its growing business the association found itself crowded for space, and was compelled to move into larger and more convenient quarters. This association has steadily expanded since its founding, and is now one of the most important industries of the city. It is owned and controlled by men who stand high in business circles, and its career has been one of uninterrupted progress. The present officers of the Anaheim Building & Loan association are F. A. Yungbluth president; William Falkenstein vice president; S. W. Todd vice president; Fred Koesel vice president. Announcement of the appointment of his office staff and several enumerators for the industrial survey in Orange county in connection with the 1930 census was made by Stanley Goode, supervisor of the government census for the 20th district of California, embracing Orange and Riverside counties. Goode stated that work done by the enumerators had already resulted in the return of some 500 schedules on the census of distributors and manufacturers. Personnel of the staff for the office, which Goode stated he hoped to have open prior to the first of March, is Mrs. Fay Spangler, clerk and Mrs. Connie Kelsey, stenographer. The enumerators making the industrial survey will handle the work by supervisorial district, Goode stated. Those now at work are D. P. Maynard, for the third district outside of Fullerton and Anaheim; Howard Irwin, for Fullerton; Melvin Salveson, for Anaheim; Lynn B. Wallace for the fourth district, including Orange; and Hugh J. Plumb for the fifth district, including Tustin and the beach cities. Appointment of enumerators for the first district, embracing Santa Ana, and the second district, will be made soon. The industrial survey includes listing of all merchants selling any class of material other than labor and all manufacturers. A great number of forms are required for the work. Goode pointing out that there were 170 forms for manufacturing and 10 schedules for distributors. Previous census regulations have required that the industrial survey be completed in outlying districts before this work can be started in Santa Ana and Riverside. Goode has communicated with government authorities on the matter, however, in an effort to get this work inaugurated at once and has been advised that a chief special agent will be in Santa Ana between March first and 10th for a conference on this subject and to discuss the appointment of especially well qualified men for these important duties. All applications for these appointments must be in his hands before March 1. Goode declared. In an effort to secure efficient enumerators for the individual census the director will choose the best qualified. He is forming committees consisting of representatives of the chamber of commerce, American Legion and leading women’s club in each community in the two counties to advise him in this regard and to co-operate, in seeing that a Candidates in Field Still Unopposed Koesel, Sheridan and Martenet Only Candidates for the Council So Far Although the date for the city election is rapidly approaching up to the present time there is no opposition to the three candidates for councilmen whose petitions were put in circulation last week. It was announced a week ago, that W. P. Quarton, F. A. Garrison and H. L. Briscoe were being groomed and nominating petitions would be circulated within a few days, but it is now reported that these men, or at least one of them, has declined to run, and the men who put them forward are searching for other timber. So far Fred Koesel, Leo Sheridan and Morris Martenet are the only candidates in the field. Koesel standing for re-election, while Sheridan and Martenet were nominated for the seats made vacant by the retirement of W. D. Gratton and A. W. Franzen. These men are all well qualified for the position and are among the best known citizens of the city. It will be a difficult job to find men who can defeat them at the polls. The city government will be in good hands if they are elected without opposition. If you wish to vote at the city election, and you will if a contest develops, you must register by the 14th of March, and if you neglect this you may regret it. Less than 2000 in the city have registered so far, only 37 per cent of the total. Following are the registration clerks here, and you can register with any of them. V. W.
