Indication of fixing of assessments to cover cost of the gigantic distributing systems for water from the dam was given at the meeting held in Riverside last Thursday evening, at which Engineer Rittenhouse outlined six of the sixty surveys made for the purpose of finding the best route to bring water from the dam to Southern California. HEAVY CROP IS PREDICTED Placentia Expects Larger Valencia Crop Next Year Than In 1929 With approximately one half of the 1930 crop of Valencia oranges picked and shipped, growers of the Placentia district are anticipating financial returns as good, or even higher than received for the 1929 crop, the largest on record. The yield of fruit this year is about forty per cent of a year ago and is spotted some growers having very good yields and others little fruit, though high prices will bring good financial returns to all growers. Shipments of oranges to eastern states are now going forward steadily, though the market is being watched and an effort made to prevent placing too much fruit on the rails. Good prices are anticipated during the next two months, when warm weather usually sends prices upward. Early estimates on the orange crop for 1931, the set of fruit now on the trees, place it as large as the record breaker of 1929. This is not true of the entire orange growing sections, but in the Placentia district groves are loaded with young fruit. The crop is reported as being thrifty, and the major portion A.C.

Indication of fixing of assessments to cover cost of the gigantic distributing systems for water from the dam was given at the meeting held in Riverside last Thursday evening, at which Engineer Rittenhouse outlined six of the sixty surveys made for the purpose of finding the best route to bring water from the dam to Southern California. Two Meetings Another meeting at which the political and legal angles of the dam were discussed took place in San Bernardino Monday evening. The auditorium for the occasion was packed. Congressman Phil Swing, one of the sponsors of the Swing-Johnson bill which authorizes the Boulder Dam project, was loudly applauded when he stated that Arizona virtually admitted the weakness of its legal objection to the dam legislation when it filed protest with the finance directors instead of with the attorney general, where any move must center in order to overthrow the legislation. The meeting turned out to be a welcome for Swing, and was marked by a parade before the gathering. Among those going from here were: Mayor L. E. Miller, Councilmen Sheridan and M. W. Martinet Jr., City Manager J. W. Price, and O. E. Steward. To Learn Costs Local officials attending the meeting in Riverside were Mayor Miller, Councilmen Sheridan and Jacob Lakeman, Manager Price, and Metropolitan Water District Representative O. E. Steward. At this meeting Engineer Rittenhouse took up problems in connection with delivering Colorado River water to Southern California. Costs of various routes from Yuma, with two lifts, Parker with one lift, and the dam itself, with a lift, were discussed and outlined. No decision as yet has been reached on the route to be followed, thought the latter two seem to be getting the majority of attention because of their elimination of settling pools and other upkeep. Representatives from every city and town in Orange county will be invited to the meeting to be held here next month. Discussion of an educational campaign to familiarize residents of the Southland with the project and its costs is scheduled. HEFFELFINGERS VISIT IN NORTH Depart for Motor Trip to 'Frisco, Redwood Highways, Pacific Northwest Will C. Hefalfinger owner of the de FULLERTON MAN AIRPLANE VICTIM John Morse, Pilot, and a Passenger Fall 2500 Feet Near Burbank John Spencer Morse, 26, formerly of Fullerton, and Dominick Gnoopff, of Los Angeles, were instantly killed Saturday afternoon when the plane Morse was piloting crashed near the Lakeside Country club in Dark canyon, near Burbank. Eyewitnesses said that a muffled explosion occurred and that immediately following a wing of the plane fell off, the rest of the plane making a spiral dive to the ground. Frank N. Morse, father of the pilot, was notified, and had the body of his son taken to the Powell funeral parlors in Burbank. The body of Gnoopff also was taken there. The Morse family formerly lived at 616 North Spadra road, Fullerton. The pilot and his wife and year old son lived with his mother, Mrs. Lottie E. Morse, at 2885 Tanble drive, Altadena. After an independent investigation of the accident, Curtiss-Wright company officials expressed the belief that what eyewitnesses reported as puffs of smoke was merely gasoline falling from the tanks and that the noise thought to have been an explosion was the snapping of the wing from the plane. It was believed that the flight was to have been an attempt to cure Gnoopff of deafness. Investigators said that the plane was to have risen to an altitude of 15,000 feet and then go into a power dive. At the time of the accident however, the plane was dying in states are now going forward steadily though the market is being watched and an effort made to prevent placing too much fruit on the rails. Good prices are anticipated during the next two months, when warm weather usually sends prices upward. Early estimates on the orange crop for 1931, the set of fruit now on the trees, place it as large as the record breaker of 1929. This is not true of the entire orange growing sections, but in the Placenta district groves are loaded with young fruit. The crop is reported as being thrifty, and the major portion of the fruit is expected to go through to maturity. "From the examination I have made of groves in our house in the Placentia district, I feel certain we will ship as much fruit next year as during the big crop of a year ago," declared H. O. Easton, manager of the Placental Mutual-Orange Association. "The groves are full of fruit and many which had suffered light crops due to various reasons, seem to be back to normal again." G. Irwin, of Fullerton, stated that ored the measure until marks of those preceded had changed his opinion. "Still," he continued be a campaign of education in and around Fullerton many of the citizens survey." He counselled James Tuffree, member board of education Mr. Irwin's statement to board of education due to be made.

The McFadden motive and a representative of chambers will assist boards in laying the supervisors. 20-30’s Company Convention Members of Anaheim this week digested comments on pre-convention gates sentatives of that organ August 9, following the ing held at the Elks club evening.

FAVORS EDUCATIONAL SURVEY Matter May Lead to Settlement of the Long Discussed Junior College Problem The Associated Chambers Commerce at its meeting Tuesday night at Los Alamitos endorsed the recently proposed plan of making an educational survey of Orange county. The motion was made by R. J. McFadden, who included in his motion that a representative of the chambers be appointed to join with the Santa Ana and Fullerton junior college representatives in presenting the petition to the supervisors, McFadden stated that press reports of the recent conference of the Santa Ana and Fullerton junior college boards in Santa Ana had given out the erroneous impression that the proposed survey is being launched as the "first step towards establishing a union junior college in Orange county." This is not a move for one,two, or about 48,000 Voters Signed Backs Reports Registration for the primary election is approximately 3000 greater than two years ago, County Clerk J. M. Backs estimated today as his force of registration deputies was hard at work checking records and totaling the figures. The estimated registration is between 47,000 and 48,000. The registration books closed Saturday for the primary, which is to be held on August 26, and there was an unusually heavy last day rush. The clerk kept his office open as late as voters continued to come in Saturday and did not close until after 10 o'clock. In addition to the large number registered in the last few days, there have been more changes of party affiliations than ever recorded before in the history of the office. Backs asserted. The changes are expected to run close to a total of 200. These were persons who had registered as democrats or prohibitionists and who have changed party affiliation to Republican, evidently in order to express a preference for dry candidates who are running on this ticket. The registration at this time two years ago was about 45,700. G. OF C. WORKERS SELECTED BY PRESIDENT Committeemen for Coming Year Announced by President Loudon at Luncheon At a recent luncheon held by the newly-elected officers and directors of the Chamber of Commerce for the purpose of outlining a program for the year's work, President L. H. Loudon announced the following committees to serve during the year: Agricultural, George Vandenberg, chairman; E. W. Waite, Carl Monahan and D. D. Waynick. Associated Chamber of Commerce, J. J. Dwyer, chairman; Lars Hansen and Evan Alsip. City extension, A. E. Hargrove, chairman; Henry Adams, J. S. Howard, Charles Mann, H. W. Faris, Ross Phegley, H. H. Benjamin and Ed Runstrom. Civic improvement, Ernest Ganahl, chairman; L. E. Miller, M. E. Beebe, E. E. Smith and H. D. Newkirk. The motion was made by R. J. McFadden, who included in his motion that a representative of the chambers be appointed to join with the Santa Ana and Fullerton junior college representatives in presenting the petition to the supervisors, McFadden stated that press reports of the recent conference of the Santa Ana and Fullerton junior college boards in Santa Ana had given out the erroneous impression that the proposed survey is being launched as the "first step towards establishing a union junior college in Orange county." "This is not a move for one two, or three colleges but is merely advised as a step to appraise the county's educational possibilities and needs." "Both junior college boards, facing abbreviated state appropriations and crowded conditions in their high schools, have identical problems which can be most effectively and most economically solved through the aid of the survey proposed," he said. Fullerton representatives stated that they were not satisfied with the adverse publicity given the proposition by county newspapers. G. Irwin, of Fullerton, in speaking on the motion, stated that he had not favored the measure until hearing the remarks of those preceding him, but that the had changed his opinion. "Still," he continued, "there should be a campaign of education carried on in and around Fullerton before a great many of the citizens would favor the survey." He counselled delay. James Tuffree, member of the Fullerton board of education, contradicted Mr. Irwin's statement and said that the board of education desired the survey to be made. Mr. Tuffree said that both the Fullerton and Santa Ana junior college districts possessed no property or equipment, using the plants established for high schools, which were already overcrowded. The McFadden motion was carried and a representative of the associated chambers will assist the Junior college boards in laying the matter before the supervisors. 20-30’s Complete Convention Plans Members of Anaheim's 20-30 club this week digested completed plans for the pre-convention gathering of representatives of that organization here on August 9, following the business meeting held at the Elks clubhouse Monday evening.

The registration at this time two years ago was about 45,700. Backs stated, and the total registration at the fall election then was 51,097. LANGDONS BACK FROM LONG TRIP Drive Along Coast to Oregon, Then to Yellowstone and Back Enjoyed by Party Mr. and Mrs. J. K. Langdon of 409 E. Adela street, and Miss Bella Walker, returned Saturday evening from a six-week motor tour along the coast of California and Oregon to Portland, thence along the Columbia River and Snake River to Idaho, to Yellowstone, and return through much of the same districts though by different routes. The motoring party stopped at Filer, Idaho, where they visited Mr. and Mrs. George A. Drake and their two daughters, who then joined the touring group for a trip to Yellowstone National Park. While in the park the party counted 14 grizzly bears and numerous black and brown bears, and took in points of interest through the park, as well as along the Cody highway and the Jackson Hole country. Bears Get Interest "The bears received a great deal of attention from our party." Mr. Langdon said this week. "They were extremely tame and always wanted something to eat. One morning I was awakened by a bear tugging at the grub box wired on the side of the automobile. I frightened it away. Upon examining the box, I found that the bear had pulled it about an inch from its original moorings, something I was not strong enough to do." Coming back the party went to Filer, where Mr. Langdon's brother-in-law and family remained, and then motored along the McKenzie highway to Eugene Oregon, down the coast to Crater Lake, along the Roosevelt highway to the Redwood highway, to the Big Basin in Monterey county, and thence down the coast to Anhelm. "There is some beautiful country in Oregon and Idaho. Some of the best agricultural territory I have ever seen is around Pocatello, Idaho. However, I wouldn't live anywhere else but Orange county, for this is the best there is." Judge Summons New Trial Jury Presiding Judge George K. Scovel this week summoned a new trial jury panel for superior court to report for duty at 9:30 a.m. August 5, for three month's service. Those on the panel are: Mrs. Mabel Baker, Mrs. C. C.

A dinner dance in the evening will complete the local program. Dr. Ray Lieser of Oceanside was the principal speaker at last Monday night's gathering. State Willing to Pay $618,000 for a Site Just $619,000 less than half the price originally asked by owners of the proposed state park site near Huntington Beach, was agreed upon Tuesday by the board of Orange county supervisors and the state park commission, as the price it will pay for the property. Owners of the property were to be formally notified this Thursday afternoon of the decision. The agreement followed a meeting held at St. Ann's Inn, Santa Ana, with Henry O'Melveney of Los Angeles representing the state park commission. Post Title As Tree-Sitting Award keeping his chum "in the air" for several weeks, claims that the record of 145 hours is slightly more than that made recently by Ernie Engle, another Anaheim youth. Billy Knott, perched comfortably on a sign over the Lilliput golf course at Clementine and Chartress street, is out after a different kind of championship—that of sign-sitting champion of the world. He was to complete his first week in a spot where he could "look down" on the golfers on the course where a spoon isn't needed for the green tee, at noon Thursday, July 31. Billy went up a week ago, his brother, Buddy, keeps him supplied with food and drink. Billy's ambition is to stay up 28 days. Coming back the party went to Filler, where Mr. Langdon's brother-in-law and family remained, and then motored along the McKenzie highway to Eugene Oregon, down the coast to Crater Lake, along the Roosovelt highway to the Redwood highway, to the Big Basin in Monterey county, and thence down the coast to Anaheim. “There is some beautiful country in Oregon and Idaho. Some of the best agricultural territory I have ever seen is around Pocatello, Idaho. However, I wouldn't live anywhere else but Orange county, for this is the best there is.” YACHT RACES AT NEWPORT BEACH Championship Regattas of the Pacific Coast to be Staged Next Week Newport Bay is ready to stage the Pacific Coast's greatest yachting event this year, the annual championship regattas of the Pacific Coast and Southern California yachting associations, being held there as a double event all next week.

Backs is a candidate for re-election to this important office and has no opponent contesting his right to succeed himself. He has filled the office well and capably, has the endorsement of bench and bar and as usual has been given a high measure of praise by the grand jury. It is an honor to any man to be unopposed for such an important office, and in his case it is a well merited recognition of the efficient manner in which he has fulfilled his duties. Work in the clerk's office has largely increased, and the task before him is now in greater volume than ever before. That he is measuring up to the work required of him, with honor to himself and with credit to the people, is a fact well known to every voter in the county. What with the preparation of sample and official ballots, preparing for the many precinct registers, and attending to the voluminous details of the office, he will be quite unable to devote any time to calling upon the people before election. He is a native of Orange county, having been born of Pioneer parents here, and is a worthy son of district attorney.

His skull was fractured and his chest crushed. He was rushed to the Laguna Beach Emergency hospital, and then taken to the Orange county hospital, where he died at 4 o'clock Sunday afternoon, without regaining consciousness. Police who made an investigation were of the opinion that the man was alone in his car at the time of the accident.

CHILD RELIEF SUBJECT OF TALK Harry D. Riley Outlines the Progress of the Work in this County Harry D. Riley, who has been active in crippled children's relief work since the organization of the societies in this county addressed a meeting of the Three Changes Made in School Faculties Miss Lydia Dornbush, fourth grade of Citron school last term; Miss Louise Edelbrock of San Diego, who had signed to teach sixth grade at Broadway school; Miss Eileen Adams, who was to teach grade six at Lincoln school, have resigned and their places for next term filled, according to Superintendent Melbourne A. Gauer. Those appointed are: Miss Emily Rannow of Garden Grove road, who was graduated in June from Whittier College, to take Miss Dornbush's position; Miss Jean McKinnon of Gardena, who has taught in Lucerne valley, to succeed Miss Edelbrock's place; and Miss Evelyn Mable Dickson, from Guadalupe, California, to take Miss Adams' position. So far, these are the only changes in the faculty line-up for the school year 1930-31. Success On Uptrend, Says U. S. Chamber Official representing practically all of the grove owners in Southern California, were hailed as the world's foremost leaders in their particular work, and were of vast benefit to the grower. These associations, he said, have shown the world the value of co-operative marketing and stand as a tribute to the initiative of the grower. Clagstone took up the problem of farm relief with the statement that the national chamber is opposed to the government purchasing vast quantities of wheat, as it has done already with an expenditure of over $50,000,000, but that the chamber is solidly behind the Farm Board plan as otherwise in operation. The speaker declared that American people themselves are responsible for the depression the nation has undergone. He stated that insistence of the people in speculating on the stock exchange instead of keeping their money in substantial business channels, coupled with business leaders failing to prepare for any period of depression, is responsible for the financial readjustment just now coming to an end. CHILD RELIEF SUBJECT OF TALK Harry D. Riley Outlines the Progress of the Work in this County Harry D. Riley, who has been active in crippled children's relief work since the organization of the societies in this county, addressed a meeting of the Business and Professional Women's club Monday and told of the progress of the work in the county. In his talk Riley outlined the growth of relief work among crippled children in the past two decades. It is only since 1913 that the general public has directed its interest to such work, he explained. The first actual help came when such a movement was launched in London in 1819, and it was almost a century later that the United States followed suit, when the first organization was founded in Syracuse, N. Y. Orange county's association was organized in May, 1921, according to the speaker, under the county board of supervisors and the state board of charities. However, its method of working is different from that in force in other communities, for the state is seldom called upon for assistance, since the county is fortunate in having the freely offered help of capable physicians and surgeons and the Orange County hospital to call upon. "We find no special difficulty in raising the funds necessary to continue our work," Riley explained. "Our greatest difficulty lies in bringing it to the attention and to the hearts of the people of the county. If they could only see for themselves the great good accomplished, they would be with us heart and soul." In the nine years since the work was launched here, over 225 children have received treatment and aid, he stated. Of these, 65 per cent have been restored to health and a normal place in life, while of the remainder, all are added with the small percentage of five beyond much physical aid. It was explained that the association means to resume the plan formerly practiced, of employing a trained psychotherapist to make regular rounds of the county homes for the care of little patients dismissed from the hospital. At present, members of the board of directors are calling for the children and taking them to the weekly clinics at the county hospital.
