A large army is employed in this service and the enumerators are expected to complete the work in twenty days. Southern Meat Firm Gets 960 Acre Holdings Invoicing property value at $1,-676,000, C. Stanley Chapman, has traded business property for a 960 acre ranch between San Bernardino and Redlands, owned by A. Gregory. The property traded by Chapman included the Fox Mission theater, Roy J. Lyon service station at Chapman avenue and Spadra road, the vacant property north of the theater building, an dthe service station property on the southeast corner of Malden and Commonwealth avenue. The trade was made as part of an expansion program of the Southern Meat company, of which Chapman is manager. The deal represents one of the largest real estate transactions ever made here. The Gregory ranch, which is said to have been appraised at $735,000 in the deal, was considered the largest individually owned agricultural property in the San Bernardino valley. A cash consideration of $270,000 in addition to the Fullerton property completed the deal.

There are 180 of them in Orange county as this county is small in area, although large in population, the local workers are expected to clean up in short order. When the census taker interviews you don’t stall, but answer his questions as speedily as possible. We have heard certain parties, who are always against constituted authority, declare that the census man would get no information from them. Apparently these men are ignorant of the law governing this move, and should they refuse to answer the questions of the census taker they will find themselves under arrest and suffer a severe penalty. When the census taker calls on you, don’t hesitate to answer his questions and answer them accurately. Under the new census California is expected to gain six congressmen to represent it in the house of representatives. We have not had a just representation since the last census was taken in 1920. Guessing at what the figures will show is not always accurate, but the following estimates, band on registration of the cities of Orange county, has been made public by County Clerk Backs; Santa Ana, 37,500; Anaheim 10,833; Fullerton, 10,617; Orange, 9,967; Huntington Beach, 8,250; Newport Beach, 2,708; Laguna Beach, 2,600; Brea, 2,467; La Habra, 1,950; Seal Beach, 1,517; Tustin, 975; San Clemente, 867; and Placentia, 867. That is a prediction based upon the comparison between registration and population figures in 1920, when the last federal census was taken, and with the 1920 registration as a starting point to estimate the 1930 population. Ultimate registration totals for 1930, as forecast by County Clerk J. M. Backs, were used in compiling the population prediction, reached by multiplying the registration by 2.1-6. In 1920, the August registration totals, the earliest available gave Santa Ana, 6,596; Orange, 2,134; Fullerton, 1,997; Anaheim, 1,836; Huntington Beach, 612; Newport Beach, 529; Brea, 383; and Seal Beach, 226. These were all of the present cities that were incorporated. Their populations was Santa Ana, 15,485; Orange, 4,884; Anaheim, 5,526; Fullerton, 4,415; Huntington Beach, 1,687; Newport Beach, $98; and Brea, 1036. Backs predicts an autumn registration of Santa Ana, 15,000; Anaheim, 5,000; Fullerton, 4,900; Orange, 4,600; One room schools are disappearing in California and the United States as a whole at the rate of 2.50 years. In Orange county there is now one single room school, which comprise 1.2 per cent of the total schools in the county. California has 1.500 such schools at present, while two years ago the total was over 1.800. Walter E. Morgan, chief statistician in the state department of education estimates that in the United States there are 150,000 one room schools now compared with over 200,000 ten years ago. "The rise of the one room school was due to circumstances," explained Morgan. "Sparse population in widely scattered areas, oftentimes separated by geographic barriers, made necessary the concentration of public education in small units." "Even today the population and geographic situation such as exists in many states will probably require retention of some of these schools." "Impovement of transportation conditions has brought about a general elimination of the one room schools; however, and eventually may solve the problem of distance." Certain weaknesses are apparent in the one room school system. Morgan declared, which make every move away from the plan of benefit to the school child. He summarized them as follows: "One teacher working alone with all grades and pupils of all ages by the specialization of the well graded school; one room schools are taught by the least trained and youngest teachers; The deal represents one of the largest real estate transactions ever made here. The Gregory ranch, which is said to have been appraised at $738,000 in the deal, was considered the largest individually owned agricultural property in the San Bernardino valley. A cash consideration of $270,000 in addition to the Fullerton property completed the deal. The ranch property, which is located on the main highway between San Bernardino and Redlands, and which has spits serving it from both Santa Fe and Pacific Electric lines, will be used as a feeding ground for cattle for the Southern Meat company. It is believed that more than 7000 cattle per year can be handled on the ranch, which has 1200 inches of water available from a 33-foot lift.

Twenty-Thirty Club Plans Gala Affair While the more athletically inclined of the club are practicing evenings in preparation for entrance in the service club baseball league which opens its season within the next few weeks, all members of the Twenty-Thirty group recently organized here this week were getting in readiness for the biggest social event so far held—Fathers' Bosses and Partners' night to be held at the Elks club Monday evening. Approximately 60 are expected to attend the gala affair, which has been scheduled for several weeks. Under Captain Kenneth Walker and Manager Vance Ford, the Twenty-Thirty night baseball enthusiasts worked out Tuesday evening at the City park. Before the league schedule opens they expect to have a well-rounded team to display before fans of this community. Leo Thayer, district governor, and John Williams secretary and treasurer of district five were honored guests at the meeting on Monday evening, which 33 attended. Also present were George Holden, city attorney, who gave a short talk; Andy Anderson, president, and Fellow Clubman Clarence Triky, of Santa Ana, The Four Central Crows, quartet from the Central school, gave three selections. Improvement of transportation conditions has brought about a general elimination of the one room schools, however, and eventually may solve the problem of distance. Certain weaknesses are apparent in the one room school system. Morgan declared, which make every move away from the plan of benefit to the school child. He summarized them as follows: One teacher working alone with all grades and pupils of all ages by the specialization of the well graded school; one room schools are taught by the least trained and youngest teachers; the percentage of attendance in one teacher schools is far below that of grade schools; and the social advantages of centralized schools give them a superiority in training for life that small isolated schools cannot attain. The largest number of one room schools is found in Illinois. Morgan said where 10,105 are located. Rhode Island has least with but 97. Realtors Laud Talk by Local Bank Aide Intricacies of title insurance trust deeds, trusts and escrow were explained by Arthur Porter, escrow officer in the Bank of America, to the dozen realtors attending the regular Wednesday luncheon-meeting held by the Anaheim Realty Board in the Pickwick Hotel. Members attending expressed pleasure for the informative talk. W.J. Elliott reported that the land show recently concluded in Los Angeles was held a success. The local group in co-operation with similar organizations in Orange county entered a county exhibit and detailed two members each day to attend the show and explain the county's record in state agricultural achievements. President W.B. Allen presided. Wednesday, April 16 is Anaheim day at the San Gabriel play.

GAS ENGINE MAY BE SIDE TRACKED; USED ONLY IN EMERGENCY Ownership May Go to Company Which Agrees to Assume All Future Payments On It; Edison to Pay City $10,000 for Ten-Year Contract and Release $5000 Impounded With Railroad Commission. The city council has for some days past had under consideration a very advantageous agreement with the Southern, California Edison Co., under the terms of which that company will furnish power to the city for a period. Anaheim Baseball Club Chases Flag Championship Team Predicted as Line Up for Night Ballers Summer Session Three practice games one scheduled for tonight (Thursday) against the Long Beach Drakes, hailed as an A-1 outfit, and two more to follow within the next week. In the opinion of Manager George Pace, will condition the Anahein Valenclas for the biggest year in competition with first class teams in the National league, which last season was the old Orange County organization. Teams to be tackled in night baseball for practice only are: Garden Grove B squad Monday evening and the Pomona Pumpers next Thursday night. Combined with three weeks of strenuous workouts, these practice sessions are expected to put the local outfit in the pink of condition for meeting Whittier, Santa Ana, Huntington Beach, Orange, Garden Grove, Fullerton, Olive, Long Beach and La Habra in a four round schedule which calls for 38 contests for the Valenclas. All squads, with the possible exception of Orange, which has been up-and-coming elections in the Anaheim district last Friday, but in some of the neighboring towns a heated contest developed. Less than 200 votes were The city council has for some days past had under consideration a very advantageous agreement with the Southern California Edison Co., under the terms of which that company will furnish power to the city for a period of ten years. The standby gas engine, which was installed in August, 1929, at the expiration of the old Edison contract is considered by members of the council and other citizens as unsatisfactory and is to be sidelocked if the agreement is consummated. During the first three months the engine was in operation the city made a profit. This was computed in comparison with the "P-2" rate which the Edison company was charging the city under the old contract. When the city entered into competition with the Edison Co., however, the Railroad Commission raised the Edison's rate for the juice it was furnishing Anaheim, and the council, was compelled to pay under the "P-17" schedule. After that was put in operation the city sustained a loss each month. In August, the first month the engine was in operation, the profit was $341.31; in September, $477.22; in October, $114.75. The next five months when the Edison's higher rates were in operation for the electricity it was furnishing city the loss was: November 1 to 19, $42.00; November 19 to Dec. 19, $502.36; December 19 to Jan. 19, $502.36; Jan. 19 to Feb. 19, $659.76; Feb. 19 to March 19, $553.67. Fred Koesel member of the city council, who has been negotiating with the Edison people makes public these figures and also a copy of the agreement submitted by the Edison Co. This agreement is advantageous to the city and if accepted, will result in a great saving of money according to its terms. The Edison Co. will pay to the city $10,000 for a ten year contract and also release $5000 of the city's money unbounded with the railroad commission. The city transfers ownership of the gas engine to the Edison Co. and that company agrees to assume itself all obligations of the city in connection with the purchase of the engine, and will guarantee to stand between the city and all damage claims that may result from its operation. The Edison Co. agrees to carry out the terms of the purchase of the engine by the city with the C. and G. Cooper Co. and agrees to pay all operating expenses including gas and oil and in operating it, to pay for repairs, maintenance and equipment and cost of any labor it shall be necessary to employ. The present force now employed on the engine will be maintained by the city without cost to the company. Wiley B. Allen Buys Radio Den Takes Over Lease Held by Mrs. E. R. Caverly; Remodels Building Teams to be tackled in night baseball for practice only are: Garden Grove B squad Monday evening and the Pomona Pumpers next Thursday night. Combined with three weeks of strenuous workouts, these practice sessions are expected to put the local outfit in the pink of condition for meeting Whittier, Santa Ana, Huntington Beach, Orange, Garden Grove, Fullerton, Olive, Long Beach and La Habra in a four round schedule which calls for 38 contests for the Valencias. All squads, with the possible exception of Orange, which has been up-and-counging in previous years, have been materially strengthened by new talent this year. Manager Pace opines. As an indication that the Valencias are out for the pennant this year Pace and his captain, Phil Schrott, point to an array of talent they believe unequalled by any other club in the league. Pitchers including: J. M. Ochoa, Ray Sutphen, Kenny Walker and Joe Mene. Predictions for a championship sound, which heretofore has been second or third but never the pennant holder, run rife this season. With the expert array of pitching talent, and a staff of baseball artists that is acknowledged of baseball artists that is acknowledged in the league, Manager Peace will go after the flag from the opening gun. Among his infielders, outfielders and catchers are: Phil Schrott, George Proble, Dana Newkirk, Gus Lenain, Wray Pomeroy, Fred Purdonthon, Don Laum, Walter Blakely, Tim Wallace, Louis Schrott, Wilbert Heiden, Ed Fisher, Vernon Rockwell, Harold Mann and Francis Lemon. As an example of added strength in the National league teams, Huntley Beach has acquired the services of Howard Morning, star hurler for the Long Beach Acorns who has made scores of expert batters look foolish. In addition the beach squad boasts "Greasy" Neal and Cochler. The season opens April 15 with Anaheim playing Garden Grove at the latter's home grounds. The next game is scheduled with Olive at Anaheim, but the Valencia chieftain hopes to switch date from Good Friday to April 17. Thereafter the dates will run for Tuesdays and Fridays until the second half of the four rounds is completed on August 15. Winners of the first half and second half will clash to settle the league championship, the victor to battle the pennant holder of the American league for the night ball championship of Southern California. Little interest was taken in the school elections in the Anaheim districts last Friday, but in some of the neighboring towns a heated contest developed. Less than 300 votes were cast in the high school district which is composed of eight grammar districts. The two candidates for re-election, E. E. Smith and C. C. Reinert were unopposed. Smith's vote was 245 and Reinhard's 269. One vote was cast for J. W. Wallop and one for Charles Pearson. In the grammar school district only 67 voters took trouble of going to the polls, H. W. Lewis, the retiring member, was the only candidate. Fifty-nine of the total vote was cast for him, but eight persons wrote in the name of Mrs. Susie Jayne. There was a warm contest in the Fullerton high school district. S.C. Hartranft, president of the board, and Ross Hodson of La Habra were the retiring members and they were standing for re-election. There is a tacitional light, in that district over the policy pursued in governing the school, and the voters who opposed the attitude of the old board put two candidates in the field against them. They were Albert Lauer of Fullerton and James Tuffree of La Habra. The new candidates won by a large majority, the total vote being Launer 2201. Tuffree 2655, Hodson 1720 and Hartranft 1345. There was a spirited contest in the Placentia grammar school district between William Bielefeld and Earl Mathis, and it may lead to court action Only one vote separated them. Bielefeld wining according to the count Earl Mathis who was defeated by one vote will probably demand a show down in court Leonard Evans Anaheim attorney has been engaged to handle the challenge. The members of the Placentia election board, when questioned Wednesday did not remember the number of ballots that had been marked as destroyed, leaving 10 unaccounted for, supposedly destroyed. In addition it was reported that after the tallies of grammar school votes had been counted and were sealed, showing that tally marked ballots and blanks as correct, two more marked ballots were found in another box. No one knew just how the box had been brought into the balleting room. The ballots looked to be proper ballots, they said. LeRoy Lyon found them. In addition to the grammar school ballots two high school ballots were added to the high school tally then being made by the election board. Harry Easton, one time mayor of In its proposed contract the electric company grants the city the right to operate the engine if at any time there is a break in the service or it is needed for an emergency. The engine will remain here and under the contract the city can use it in any emergency. There is little danger of a break down however as the company has established five lines to carry energy into the city, whereas heretofore there has only been one. This will insure an uninterrupted service as these lines are connected with widely separated stations and it is likely that all will be put out of commission at one time by storm or fire. This proposition would probably have been accepted by the trustees, but for the fact that the gas company asked that it be held in silence pending an additional offer from that company, therefore Thursday evening they admitted without notice until last Thursday evening. At the meeting the offer of the gas company was not submitted, and the board stood adjourned until next Tuesday evening. Whether this gas company's proposition will be submitted at that time would not be learned up to the hour of going to press. Auction Marks Affair Another social gathering, at which ties brought by the women folks will be auctioned off to the highest bidder and a repast and musical program enjoyed, will be held Sunday evening at the Concordia club, President H. Bremner announced today, Cy Perkins will act as auctioneer. Those attending will be dressed as farmers. Wiley B. Allen Buys Radio Den Takes Over Lease Held by Mrs. E. R. Caverly; Remodels Building Remodeling of the storeroom formerly occupied by the Radio Den at 134 West Center street. Which has been taken over by the Wiley B. Allen company of Los Angeles, will be completed either by Saturday of this week or Monday of next week, Harry H. Clubb resident manager for the big music concern, announced Thursday. The entire front of the storeroom will be remodeled, with the entrance moved to the extreme west side, and plate glass installed in the present doorway, thus giving a larger display space. A partition was completed Wednesday, and an attractive stairway on the west wall leads to the balcony. Nineteen years ago Mr. Clubb came to Amheim as a representative of the Wiley B. Allen firm and at that time sold many pianos and phonographs here. Upon his return to this city last week Mr. Clubb met many of his old patrons and friends. The music firm he represents has been in business on the Pacific coast for 57 years. The Radio Den for several years was managed by Mrs. E. R. Caverly, who recently sold her lease to the Los Angeles company. Wife Asks Alimony Nacho Herb Brown, creator of "The Doll Dance," and "Singin' In The Rain," has found that although his profits may be large, he has a wife quite willing to relieve the burden. Brown's wife, who is suicing him for divorces, told the court he had an income of $50,000 yearly of which she wants $2,500 a month alimony. After the fallies of grammar school votes had been counted-and were sealed, showing the tally marked ballots and blanks as correct, two more marked ballots were found in another box. No one knew just how the box had been brought into the balloting room. The ballots looked to be proper ballots, they said. LeRoy Lyon found them. In addition to the grammar school ballots, two high school ballots were added to the high school tally then being made by the election board. Harry Easton, one time mayor of Placentia and manager of Placentia Mutual packing house, who moved to Fallerton last spring from Placentia, is said to have voted in the Placentia election. Phases of the legality of this will be tested also, it was said. Easton resigned as mayor of Placentia, and Mrs. Easton resigned from the library board when they moved away after selling their home on Bradford avenue. They now live at 136 Hillcrest street, Fullerton. Complete Program For Fathers, Sons Dewey Lockman, S. F.

An enthusiastic group of representative citizens from all parts of the county met at a luncheon at noon Tuesday and formulated plans for developing an active campaign for creating the Orange county-state coast park located between Newport Beach and Huntington Beach. The group under the leadership of various organizations that have been active in securing the support of the state and the county board of supervisors, is presenting a request to the supervisors asking that a bond election be called to finance the county share of the expense of the creation of the park under a plan whereby the state would pay half of the cost and maintain the acreage as a statepark. Members of the board of supervisors declared when they were told that the matter was to be brought before them with a request for a bond election, that this was not the time for a bond election for this purpose and that it was felt that the value of the land to be used for the purpose was priced too high. Board members declared that an appraisal would have to be made before any steps toward calling an election could be considered. Tom Talbert, chairman of the Orange County Coast association park committee, stated that the price of the 345 acres and the 12,600 feet along the ocean between the Pacific Electric tracks on dune area, was $1,482,270. Of this amount the state would pay half from the fund voted some time ago for establishment of state parks. The other half, amounting to $741,135 is expected to be paid by the county. The park as now proposed will connect the 315 feet along the beach now used as a park by Huntington Beach an dthe five miles along Newport Beach park. This proposed park together with the other two would comprise one of the finest beaches in the state with a frontage of approximately nine or ten miles. Prominent citizens at the dinner which discussed the proposition, and made a plan to secure immediate cooperation from the county board of supervisors included George Raymer, Santa Ana; George Kellogg, of Yorba Linda; O.T.Stephens, of La Habra; J.P.Greeley, of Balboa; Hal Warner, of San Clemente; S.H.Woodruff, of Dana Point; Carl Hankey, of San Juan Capistrano; George Reid, of Anaheim; Dr.J.Shank and Harvey Young, of Huntington Beach, and many others. Talbert declared that if the board desired to save the site for a state park some definite and immediate action would have to be taken to take advantage of the state park fund before it is appropriated and fund before the land is G.A.R.
