Barr, agricultural agent for the Southern Pacific company. Of this area 120,000 acres are shown to be producing irrigated crops. The data collected by Dr. Barr, preparatory to the issuance of the map by the development and colonization department of Southern Pacific, indicates a 37 per cent increase in the irrigated area of Orange county since 1920, when the census enumerators reported 87,330 acres under irrigation. Practically the entire Orange county area now farmed without irrigation is adaptable to irrigation, according to the survey, and is included in the proposed state program of water conservation and irrigation development.

ANAHEIM TOWNSHIP BOASTS 23,306; SECOND LARGEST IN ORANGE COUNTY Anaheim township, harboring 23,306 souls, this week officially ranks as the second largest in Orange county. Included in this total are the 10,997 folk in the City of Anaheim, which is the second largest city in the county. Santa Ana township, with a population of 31,121, tops the list, while, in their order are: Fullerton 16,658; Orange 12,681; Huntington Beach 11,132; Brea 7,289; Laguna Beach 2,165; Newport Beach 2,016; Tustin 4,074. Unincorporated towns, with Costa Mesa heading the list with a population of 3,087; follows: Buena Park 2,090; Garden Grove 1,824; El Modena 1,161; Midway City 485; Stanton 953; Westminster 491; San Juan Capistrano 784; El Toro 108; Olive 250; Dana Point 140; Capistrano Beach 549; Cypress 475; La Jolla Camp 510; Winterburg 400; Talbert 335; Yorba Linda 654; Olinda 449; and Sunset Beach 150. Since the unincorporated towns have no definite boundaries, the figures merely are enumerators' estimates, Census Supervisor Stanley Goode of Santa Ana announced. The township figures, however, are definite. Density of population in and about Anaheim may be visualized by comparing figures. The City of Anaheim proper has but two and one-half square miles within its boundaries, yet its population is practically 11,000. Just outside this city, in the area contained in Anaheim township, are 12,307 people. In comparison, Fullerton as a city has approximately 18 square miles and a population slightly under that of the City of Anaheim. Fullerton township boasts a population of 16,658. City of Santa Ana, on the other hand, has a population of 30,332 practically as much as the township, which is given as 31,121. The population figures for the county show a distinct trend toward the cities, with the beach towns getting a large share of new residents. Laguna, Newport, Balboa, San Juan Capistrano and other cities have shown a large increase in the last decade.

AHEIM GAZET Anaheim, California, Thursday, May 29, 1930 DATES FILE FOR PRIMAL THIEVES CAUGHT WHILE ROBBING RESIDENCE Prompt Action of Police Lands Two Burglars While Looting Ohio Street Home Two burglars who, it is the belief of officials, ransacked several houses in Anaheim and Fullerton last week, came to grief Friday night while attempting to loot the residence of F. C. James on south Ohio street. Mr. and Mrs. James were both away from home but neighbors phoned to the police that burglars were in the house. Officers Barnett and Presnell immediately responded to the call and succeeded in capturing the two men before they got away with the boot. The captured men gave their names as John Johnson and D. M. White. They were arraigned before Judge Frank Tausch Tuesday morning and Health Officer Closes School In Placentia A Placentia school was closed Tuesday by action of the school trustees following outbreak of two cases of infantile paralysis there over the week end and development of several suspected cases. Two other cases are reported in the county at this time according to Dr. K. H. Sutherland, county health officer, one in Santa Ana and one in Orange. In a statement regarding the situation Dr. Sutherland stated that the fact that there were four cases now developed justified more concern than ordinary and suggested that all children exhibiting certain symptoms should be isolated for observation. The action in closing the Placentia school followed the recommendation of Dr. Sutherland that this step be taken to prevent further exposure and spread of the contagion. "The present outbreak of four cases of infantile paralysis justifies more concern than ordinary," Dr. Sutherland said. "There are two cases in Placentia, one in Santa Ana and one in Orange. It is safe to say that for every developed case there possibly are some 12 or more carriers of the disease and the county ORANGES BRING GOOD PRICES ON THE MARKET Anaheim Valencias Sell As High As $9.15 On the New York Market Valencia oranges are bringing fancy prices in the big markets of the east this summer, and Northern Orange county fruit is topping the market, while the orchard yield is not heavy. The quality is excellent and the extra price is offsetting the shortage in bulk. The citrus growers will reap a good harvest this season. Northern Orange county Valencias sold on the New York market Monday at the following figures: Anaheim Supremes, $9.15; Mother Colony, $8.20; Gloriana, $8.45; Old Mission, $9.15; Golden Eagle, $7.05; California Belle, $9.40; Carmenita, $8.45; Deliccia, $8.45; Sonla, $6.40. With the peak of the citrus crop in MAYOR ROLPH, JR. WINS APPLAUSE "First Nighters" at the Orange Show Acclaim Summary of Industry Growth Mayor James Rolph, Jr., following his speech officially opening the tenth annual California Valencia Orange Show a week ago, spent several hours calling on old friends in Anaheim, and renewing acquaintances which began a score or more years ago in San Francisco. In his address before several thousand and people at the opening festivities, Mayor Rolph stressed the importance of the valencia orange industry to the state. On land purchased as low as $2 an acre, pioneers of the industry 30 and more years ago founded one of the greatest citrus crops the State of California boasts, now netting each year approximately $30,000,000 or more for growers. Meeting and overcoming obstacles confronting the valencia orange—for a decade ago comparatively few people drank orange juice—C. C. Chapman, "Father of the valencia orange," and his fellow workers and citrus growers through persistent effort increased the consumption of orange juice and hence the consumption of valencia oranges, until, with the impetus of the health movement of recent years, the California Valencia Orange Show has come to signify the importance of the industry. Growth Forecast These and other encouraging statements made by Mayor Rolph, Jr., won the hearty applause of the orange show "first nighters." Growth of the industry to new heights was forecast as reference was made to tremendous shipping facilities afforded by steamship lines operating out of San Pedro, with vessels touching every major world port. Two of Robert Dollard's lines, the 'round-the-world service touching here fortnightly, and his famous horseshoe circuit from this coast to the Orient and Australia, in years past have taken this summer, and Northern Orange county fruit is topping the market, while the orchard yield is not heavy the quality is excellent and the extra price is offsetting the shortage in bulk. The citrus growers will reap a good harvest this season. Northern Orange county Valencias sold on the New York market Monday at the following figures: Anaheim Supremes, $9.15; Mother Colony, $8.20; Gloriana, $8.45; Old Mission, $9.15; Golden Eagle, $7.05; California Belle, $9.40; Carmenita, $8.45; Sonla, $6.40. With the peak of the citrus crop in northern Orange county now being moved, approximately 402 cars were sent out by houses in this district during the past week to eastern markets. While a slight easing of prices on Valencias was noted during the latter part of the week, weather forecasts throughout the east point/to better prices during the present week with better averages expected on all grades and sizes. According to Dale R. King, manager of the Northern Orange County Citrus exchange, last week and the present week are expected to be the peak of the season with the regard to number of shipments, the exchange sending out 200 cars of Valencias and 21 cars of lemons. Prices on lemons have been good and with warmer weather expected in the east, it is believed that prices will improve even over present conditions. Gradual decline in shipments as the season progresses is anticipated with a subsequent improvement in prices as the season draws to a close. Pickling has indicated that the crop will run somewhat under early expectations although the quality and prices are much above average. J. H. Crane Buys Dutton's Lease Julius H. Crane, who for 25 years owned and operated a jewelry establishment in York, Nebraska, this week began moving fixtures and equipment into the store at 115 East Center street, where he took over the lease of Dutton's Jewelry Store. Only new equipment will be used, and a completely new stock of jewelry secured. Mr. Crane stated this week. Redecoration of the store occupied most of the first part of the week, but the establishment was not closed. Mr. Crane's family is expected during the latter part of this week. "Anaheim seems to me to be one of the best residential and business cities in Southern California," Mr. Crane stated. "It is for this reason that I was glad to buy the lease formerly held by Mr. Dutton. We plan to have a modern jewelry store, specializing in watches, diamonds, and silverware." Family Re-union City Trustees Fill Vacancy Caused by Retirement of Councilman Grafton Filling a vacancy on the city planning commission made necessary by the retirement of W. D. Grafton was made at the city council meeting Tuesday night. M. W. Martenet, one of the newly-elected members was appointed to represent the council on the commission. Mayor Miller, City Manager Price and Engineer Millard Parks will act as ex-officio members of the commission. The Cooper-Bessomer Co. was granted the privilege of dismantling and removing the recently sold gas engine from the city property. The street superintendent was authorized to remove the weeds from all vacant property not yet cleared in accordance with recent orders. The cost will be charged against the property. Demands against the city were approved and ordered paid, as follows: from the general fund, $8955.33; from redemption fund, $1775.63; from the improvement fund, $1775.63. Insurance policies on the power plant and the dwelling owned by the city at 117 East Broadway, were voted renewed as was the messenger and interior robbery policy protecting the public service department of the city hall. The report of O. E. Steward, maintenance engineer from the Joint Outfall Dept., for the month of April was presented and showed Anaheim's share of the expense as being $205.06. Never Lost a Tree William Geordes is making a success of raising thoroughbred poultry on his ranch northwest of town where he also owns a fine Valencia grove. He makes the proud boast that during the past twenty years he has owned four Valencia groves here and has never lost a tree. Whenever he found a tree alling he proceeded to treat it along scientific lines, and it promptly recovered. He was successful in growing oranges and is now making good with thoroughbred poultry. Growth Forecast These and other encouraging statements made by Mayor Rolph Jr., won the hearty applause of the orange show "first nighters." Growth of the industry to new heights was forecast as reference was made to tremendous shipping facilities afforded by steamship lines operating out of San Pedro, with vessels touching every major world port. Two of Robert Dollar's lines, the 'round-the-world service touching here fortnightly, and his famous horseshoe circuit from this coast to the Orient and Australia, in years past have taken out vast quantities of oranges while the Furness line vessels, going to the English empire; Hamburg-American and Royal Dutch touching Germany, the Baltic and Holland; the French and Italian lines touching their own countries, and the Matson, McCormick, Panama-Pacific, Nelson, Luckenback and American-Hawaiian lines for intercoastal transportation afford opportunities to ship surplus oranges to all points of the globe. No reference to his political campaign was made by Rolph in any of his public appearances. In re-newing old acquaintances Rolph didn't bring out his candidacy any further than answering queries flung at him by local followers. Following filling Wednesday morning of his declaration of intention to seek the Republican nomination for governor, Mayor Rolph climbed aboard a plane and flew from San Francisco to the Mexican border, speaking from the sky to cities in route. H. C. Van Engelen's Family Arrives Here Mrs. H. C. Van Engelen, wife of one of the owners and manager of the Stevens-Van Engelen dry goods store on West Center street, and two sons Wayne, 6, and Dean, eight-months, arrived from Burley, Idaho, Sunday. They moved to the Marita Apartments on North Clementine street. It is said that there are twenty-one thousand lawyers in New York City. Maybe that accounts for the lack of law enforcement. Redecoration of the store occupied most of the first part of the week, but the establishment was not closed. Mr. Crane's family is expected during the latter part of this week. "Anaheim seems to me to be one of the best residential and business cities in Southern California." Mr. Crane stated. "It is for this reason that I was glad to buy the lease formerly held by Mr. Dutton. We plan to have a modern jewelry-store, specializing in watches, diamonds, and silverware." Family Re-union Mrs. E. M. Carver celebrated her eighty-ninth birthday anniversary on Friday, May, 23rd and in the evening was the guest of honor at a family reunion at the home of her daughter. Mrs. W. P. Quarton. A delightful time was spent in social conversation and music. Dainty refreshments were served during the evening. Mrs. Carver came to Anaheim 34 years ago with her family. Mr. Carver engaged in business, establishing a photograph studio, later selling to Judge Howard. Mrs. Carver then established a millinery business and was for a number of years one of the leading milliners of this section. Among those present were the guest of honor Mrs. E. M. Carver, Mr. and Mrs. W. P. Quarton, Mr. and Mrs. L. C. Blake, Mr. and Mrs. W. M. Carver and daughter, Winifred, Mrs. Alice Booth and son, Eugene Booth, Mrs. Helen Perry and son, Raymond Perry, of Los Angeles, Mr. and Mrs. Irvin Quarton of Los Angeles, Mrs. Lols Jewel and two children, Dick and Mary Jewell, and Marvin Carver. Many beautiful gifts were presented to Mrs. Carver and all joined in congratulations and best wishes for many happy returns of the day.

Seven aspirants for sheriff have announced their intention of seeking the office but after June 21—the clamour of more aspirants must stop.

CIVIL WAR VETERAN DISCHARGED 64 YEARS AGO THIS WEDNESDAY Sixty-four years ago Wednesday—'twas on May 28, 1866.—Jason B. Root received his honorable discharge from Company I, Fourth Wisconsin, Volunteer Cavalry. He had served nearly three years in the Union Service, had participated in the seige and capture of Mobile Bay, and was with the small detachment at Comt River, 16 miles west of Batten Route, when Colonel H. B. Broadman was killed. These memories and others stirred the civil war veteran this week as he looked back over a life filled with significant events. Mr. and Mrs. Root, residents of Anaheim for 20 years, live at 508 North Philadelphia street, and their son, W. H. Root, resides in Los Angeles. Among the treasured memories of the former commander of Malvern Hill post, No. 113, G. A. R., is the time when he voted for President Abraham Lincoln, and the shock of his army comrades when, on the march from Montgomery, Alabama, to Vicksburg, they learned of the Civil war leader's assassination. "Well do I remember that sad day," he said. "We marched a full 25 miles, but hardly a word was spoken after we learned of Lincoln's death. We all were staunch admirers of the president, and his assassination left us too dumfounded for words." Membership of Malvern Hill post No. 113 at one time was 38. But six members now remain, three of whom live in Anaheim, and three in Fullerton. When but a boy in his 'teens, Mr. Root remembers how he worked hard and fast in order to complete his job in time to go 17 miles to see the first sewing machine in his district. He persuaded the owner of the machine to sew two pieces of cloth together, and then took the sample back to his mother and tried to explain the workings of the marvelous new invention. Several years later Mr. Root paid $75 for a Howe sewing machine.
