Mary Marshall's "Very Latest" ILLUSTRATED ARTICLE EACH WEEK FOR WOMEN WHO SEW FOR SELVES THE GAZETTE CALL TWO-FOUR-ONE-FOUR VOLUME LXI County Taxables Show Shrinkage Assessments Are $19,760,245 Less Than Year Ago, Says James Sleeper ANAHEIM IS $795,030 LESS But Gain On Corporations of County Was $10,000,000 Official tabulation of figures made by James Sleeper, county assessor, shows Orange county property for taxation purposes at $183,084,805, a cut of $19,-760,245 from the $200,588,285 assessment of a year ago. Mr. Sleeper cut the assessments 10 per cent. Forecast of Shrinkage Mr. Sleeper said in an address to Anaheim taxpayers some weeks ago that there would be a 10 per cent reduction in assessments on real estate and oil properties, and his forecast was correct, for the figures on oil properties dropped about $8,000,000, the assessment being about $11,000,000. There was also a substantial reduction in assessments on intangible prop. Honest Man Pays $10 On 47-Year-Old Bill If Diogenes had brought his lantern to California when he was looking for an honest man, he might have found him. But since he didn't, the man has revealed himself to the pioneer reality firm of Harris Brothers. The man may not have been the one that Diogenes was seeking, but the Harris brothers were almost stunned with surprise when they received the other day a check for $0 in part payment of a $15 bill 47 years old for hay the honest man had bought from the Harris ranch. He stated that as soon as he was able he would pay the rest. The man in his letter stated that he had always intended to the bill, but had "never gotten it," and now that he was old and crippled he wanted to pay the bill, but was not able to pay the interest. Year of Anxiety Over Water Level President Cuttle, of Conservation Association, gives Report on 12 Months Francis Cuttle, president of the Water Conservation Association, has issued his annual report for the year closing June Forecast of Shrinkage Mr. Sleeper said in an address to Anaheim taxpayers some weeks ago that there would be a 10 per cent reduction in assessments on real estate and oil properties, and his forecast was correct, for the figures on oil properties dropped about $8,000,000, the assessment being about $11,000,000. There was also a substantial reduction in assessments on intangible property, like stocks, bonds and similar securities, the amount this year being $6,795,730, compared to $7,658,535 a year ago. Gain On Corporations The largest gains, amounting to about $10,000,000 was on property of corporations and public utilities. Last year these properties were assessed at $15,473,120, and for this year the total is $25,368,420. Anaheim property shows a reduction of $795,030 in assessments, the amount last year being $8,188,280, compared to $7,393,230 this year. Incorporated Cities The assessments in other incorporated cities of the county on non-operative property were: Fullerton $11,565,770 as compared to $12,666,140 last year. Santa Ana $20,232,325 as compared to $21,882,015 last year. Brea $1,200,170 as compared to $1,372,-575 last year. La Habra $934,040 as compared to $1,066,720 last year. Huntington Beach $8,110,235 as compared to $11,381,810 last year. Newport Beach $5,966,250 as compared to $6,342,830 last year. Laguna Beach $3,190,820 as compared to $3,348,045. Placentia $418,905 as compared to $467,820 last year. San Clemente $1,554,610 as compared to $1,617,550 last year. Seal Beach $1,729,005 as compared to $1,881,585 last year. Tustin $596,825 as compared to $606,-800 last year. 7500 Properties Go To State County Tax Collector John Lamb says that 7500 pieces of Orange county property on which taxes have been delinquent, have been sold to the State. He is completing a report to the state controller. Although the number this year is about 1500 larger than it was last year, Lamb said it did not indicate anything in particular except that oil lots on which owners did not care to pay taxes were being cleared off the county records. The state will hold the property for five years, protecting it for the owners against claims of others. At that time, if it has not been redeemed, the property will be sold to the highest bidder at auction. Fear Of Anxiety Over Water Level President Cuttle, of Conservation Association, Gives Report on 12 Months Francis Cuttle president of the Water Conservation Association, has issued his annual report for the year closing June 30, in which he says that the year was one of continued anxiety by those charged with maintaining a water supply on account of the lowering water plane in the Santa Ana river basin. This condition, he says, impresses upon the people in general the necessity for conserving all of the local supplies, some of which reach the ocean during seasons of heavy rainfall. Time to Prepare To the unthinking, said Mr. Cuttle, it might seem that spending money for conservation works during these years of average or lower than normal rainfall is an unsound policy, but when it is realized that the time to construct works for conservation of water is during dry seasons in anticipation of flood years, the soundness of this policy needs no further defense. "In time of drought, prepare for floods; in time of floods, prepare for drought," says the report. No Water Was Spread "Practically no water was spread during the past season," said the report. "On one or two days sufficient water was diverted to demonstrate the practicability of the weir; or apron, which was completed on Nov. 30, last year. The weir cost $80,400, of which Orange, Riverside and San Bernardino counties each gave $20,000 and the association also gave $20,000. The last legislature appropriated $400,000 for flood control and conservation of water of the Santa Ana river and its tributaries. Orange, Riverside and San Bernardino counties to make up half of this sum. No Decrease In Demand "If we are to judge the future by the past," says the report. "there will be no decrease in the demand for water in these three counties for domestic and irrigation purposes. There are 325,000 people receiving domestic water from the Santa Ana water shed and 168,000 acres are being irrigated." The report discusses the location of dams in the Santa Ana canyon, but the association has no money with which to obtain surveys upon which to base estimates of costs. But with the $400,000 available for the dams, the diversion weir and spreading grounds can be made much more effective than is possible without them. Rev.

Glass Plant Plans Held in Abeyance Delinite assurance that the Pittsburgh Plate Glass Co. will erect a large plant in Santa Ana is being held in abeyance while an investigation of railroad rates and prices on raw materials needed for glass production are being made.

Watson, who will be local manager of the plant, have been conferring with railroad men and the Santa Ana Chamber of Commerce officials relative to freight rates and obtaining information on prices of materials. HOME EMPLOYES PICNIC Over 100 employees of the Home Oil Co. from Anaheim and Pomona attended the annual picnic at Goff island, near Laguna Beach, Thursday afternoon.

Large Congregation Citizens Committee Holds First Session Robert Herman In Large Congregation At Union Service Rev. Mr. Hunziker Preaches at Grace Church—Next Sunday Services A congregation made up of members of all the Protestant churches of Anaheim filled Grace Lutheran church to capacity last Sunday evening, when the Rev. C. H. S. Hunziker, pastor of that church, gave the sermon. It was the intention to hold the service at the City park theatre, but owing to a slip-up in schedules, the worshipers found a large audience of Mexicans occupying the theatre to hear an address by their Los Angeles consolator. The union of worshipers therefore went to Grace church. Sinful Heed Him Not Mr. Hunziker spoke from the text in Luke 19:10, expanding his theme from the Biblical thought that Jesus "entered Jericho and passed through." "Jesus is today passing through Anaheim," the minister said, "and the sinful world heeds him not. Salvation is for all. Accept it before it is too late. If the Bible is true, there is no salvation for any who follows any other than the Christian religion. This is the only door to heaven." Services Next Sunday The union services are scheduled for the City park theatre next Sunday evening, with members of the Bethel Baptist church in charge. The sermon will be by the Rev. O. R. Schroeder, pastor of the Bethel congregation. DEATH OF DR J. D. THOMAS Dr. J. D. Thomas, a retired dentist, who died at his home in Santa Ana canyon, near Olive, Tuesday, was buried in Orange this afternoon. The Rev. J. D. Darnell, of Orange Episcopal church, officiating. Dr. Thomas was a native of Pennsylvania and came to this county in 1903. He was active in civic affairs, was president of the Olive First National bank and of the Olive Helights Citrus association. He was also active in water conservation affairs. He was 81 years old and is survived by Mrs. Citizens Committee Holds First Session A preliminary meeting of the Citizens Committee, which proposes to conduct a wide-spread campaign of education on affairs of the Metropolitan Water district, of which Anaheim is a member, was held at the City hall last night, on call of Leo Sheridan, appointed to the chairmanship by the Metropolitan district board of directors. Mr. Sheridan appointed a committee, names of which are later to be added, made up, he said, of men and women who represent numerous organizations and who also represent the city geographically. The committee as made up so far consists of O. E. Stewart, John Cook, F. N. Gibbs, Charles Pearson, Lotus Louden, J. W. Price, Charles Mann, H. B. Pearson, Wayne Lauderbach, Richard Elliott, Miss Ruth Taunton, Mrs. Robert Hahnth, W. H. Aupperle, L. P. Nichols, G. W. Brune, Walter Koehler, Theodore B. Kuchel, W. B. Allen, Mrs. R. W. Marvin, Harry A. Arthur, M. A. Gauer, J. A. Clayes, J. J. Dwyer, Mrs. E. E. Smith, Miss E. Kate Rea, Charles Baer, George W. Reid, George Varnum. The committee will meet again at the City hall on the evening of July 20, when O. E. Stewart as a member of the Metropolitan board from Anaheim, will speak on the plans and purposes of the committee. Sheriff Puts Ban On Slot Machines Sheriff Logan Jackson has placed a ban on slot machines and has instructed his deputies to keep their eyes open for these devices, which he says cannot be operated in Orange county. Punch boards are included and the sheriff warns against operating the devices, although they have been licensed by various cities of the county. To make good the ban of the sheriff, two of his deputies seized slot machines at the Segerstrom service station at Greenville and another at the Santa Ana Gardens, W. J. Johnson, an employee, being arrested at the former place. But it was different in Santa Ana where the chief of police was held up in taking action against machines by a temporary restraining order on applications of Henry Foust, a boxing trainer. Robert Herman In I.O.O.F. 50 Years But He Has Good Reasons for Not Joining the Anaheim Lodge While he has lived in Anaheim since 1907 and has belonged to the Independent Order of Odd Fellows all this time, Robert B. Herman thinks he has good and sufficient reasons for not transferring his membership from his old home lodge at Atlanta, Illinois, to the lodge in this city. Might Lose His Jewel The reason is, "Bob" has a jewel from the Illinois Grand Lodge which he might have to surrender if he violated any one of the conditions under which the jewel was presented to him. The jewel is of gold, with "I. O. O. F." engraved on the pin with which Bob fastens the jewel on his breast for display. Beneath the pin is a globe meaning that Odd Fellowship spans the earth, and swinging below the globe are the three gold links of the order which stand for "Friendship Love Truth." Attached to the pin above the globe are the gold figures 50, set with pearls. Fifty Years of Constancy The jewel stands for Bob's 50 years of constant membership in one lodge of Anaheim, Illinois, when 21 years old and his age is now 77. During all these years he has never been delinquent in dues, has never had a charge brought against him in the lodge and has never transferred his membership. "It takes a record like this to get and keep one of these jewels from the Illinois Grand Lodge." Hob said, "So far as I know, the Illinois Grand Lodge has never awarded but two of these jewels, and I have one of them. There is not another one from a Grand Lodge in Anaheim." Some of the Odd Fellows here have been members of the order for 25 years, but I'm only one in town that has an unbroken, unblemished record of 50 years." During the years he has lived in Anaheim Bob has lived on his orange Dr. J. D. Thomas, a retired dentist, who died at his home in Santa Ana canyon, near Olive, Tuesday, was buried in Orange this afternoon. The Rev. J. D. Darnell, of Orange Episcopal church, officiating. Dr. Thomas was a native of Pennsylvania and came to this county in 1903. He was active in civic affairs, was president of the Olive First National bank and of the Olive Heights Citrus association. He was also active in water conservation affairs. He was 81 years old and is survived by Mrs. Thomas and two step-sons. PICNIC FOR NEBRASKANS All persons who have ever lived in Nebraska are called to picnic together all day Saturday, July 25, at Bixby Park, Long Beach. There will be county registers so there will be no difficulty in finding neighbors of old lang syne. Bring your own picnic baskets; or you can buy home cooked foods at the park. Free coffee to all who buy the souvenir badges. Thomas R. Lynch, president of the Nebraskans of Southern California, will preside at the short program beginning at 2 P.M. and will introduce prominent and newly arrived Nebraskans. DEATH OF G. W. ALEXANDER George W. Alexander, an employee of the Industrial Fuel Supply Co., died at the Sanitarium yesterday. He lived at 123 Reah street, and is survived by Mrs. Alexander, two sons and a daughter. He was a native of Kansas, 52 years old, and had been employed by the Fuel company for ten years. The funeral will be held at the Backs, Terry and Campbell chapel at 2 o'clock Friday afternoon, the Rev Thomas H. Walker, of the First Presbyterian church, in charge. Burial will be at the Anaheim cemetery. ACTION BY CITY COUNCIL The City Council at Tuesday night's session voted $200 to the mess fund of Company C, local guard unit, and also re-elected Fred Koesel to the library board of trustees. His term expired on June 30. Collection of city garbage was discussed, but the board took no action on letting a contract. CITIES FAIL TO REPORT ON POWER NEEDS Anaheim was among the cities which failed to send representatives to a meeting in Pasadena, Monday, with Northcutt Ely, assistant Secretary of the Interior, to discuss the allocation of electric power from the Hoover Dam-Fullerton, San Bernardino, Riverside, Santa Ana and Newport Beach also were not represented. So far only five cities have asked for allocation of power, and the U.S. Government is waiting to hear from those not represented at the Pasadena meeting, although the time was extended to August 1 for them to report. Unless the Secretary of the Interior is notified of power needs by August 1, no allocation will be made. Ely said. The percentages will be announced August 1 and final approval must be obtained from the contracting municipality by Nov. 16. This will be in the form of a vote of the citizens of the various communities confirming action of the various city councils. ALL-NIGHT PARKING BAN A warning has been issued by Chief of Police Bouldin against parking cars on the streets over night or after 1 a.m., and where they are found the police will tag them. He has instructed the police to strictly enforce the ruling. "It takes a record like this to get and keep one of these jewels from the Illinois Grand Lodge," Bob said. "So far as I know, the Illinois Grand Lodge has never awarded but two of these jewels, and I have one of them. There is not another one from a Grand Lodge in Anaheim. Some of the Odd Fellows here have been members of the order for 25 years, but I'm the only one in town that has an unbroken, unblemished record of 50 years." During the years he has lived in Anaheim, Bob has lived on his orange and walnut grove of ten acres at Sycamore and East streets. "Hot" Election in San Berdoo's Offing "A hot time in the old town" is in prospect for August 4, when the city entry of San Bernardino will go to the polls to determine if that city will remain the Metropolitan Water district. A fact-finding committee has reported that San Bernardino will not need Colorado river water and, therefore, need not go to the expense of helping to pay for the giant aqueduct that is to bring water from that stream to over a dozen other Southern California cities. San Bernardino has already joined the district, but since the fact-finders made their report, there is an element among the citizens who favor withdrawal. While the objectors are drawing up in battle array, preparatory to vote on the question August 4, there is another element which is strong for remaining in the Metropolitan district. The two elements are already at work with their publicity campaigns during which it is proposed to educate the public as to "what it is all about." DANIEL J. SORENSON DIES Daniel J. Sorenson, a native of California, with Anaheim as his birthplace, died at the Methodist hospital in Los Angeles and the funeral was held on July 1, with burial at Inglewood Park. He was 59 years old and for some time had lived in Los Angeles. He is survived by Mrs. Sorenson; a brother; and two sisters, all of whom live in Los Angeles. THE WEEK'S SOCIAL REVIEW ONE OF THE GAZETTE'S BEST NEWS FEATURES FOR WOMEN THE GAZETTE 108 NORTH EMILY STREET Number 41 All-Day Picnic of Home-sick Hoosiers Thousands of home-sick, exiled Hoosiers will assembly for an all-day laugh and cry at Sycamore park, Los Angeles, on Saturday, July 25, where they annually hold a basket picnic.

Huge Overdraft of Water Reservoirs Engineers Estimate 200,000,000 Gallons a Day from South Coastal Plain Indicating that overdrafts on age-old underground water reservoirs beneath the Southern California coastal plain have mounted tremendously. Packing Houses Run at Capacity Better Demand at Better Prices Cause Orange Packers to Speed Up AN ESTIMATE ON SEASON Good Crop in City of Anaheim Orchard Packing houses of Northern Orange county, stimulated by increased demand and higher prices in "back east" markets, are in full swing now, rushing carloads and train loads of Valencias to meet the more favorable conditions. At About Capacity For about the first time this season the packing houses are operating at about capacity, with the outlook considerably better than a few weeks ago. Not only are train loads of Valencias moving, but ship loads are leaving the San Pedro harbor for the consuming markets of Europe. The Placentia Mutual packers are handling oranges at the rate of a car load an hour, and this week will ship about 60 cars. Engineers Estimate 200,000,000 Gallons a Day from South Coastal Plain Indicating that overdrafts on age-old underground water reservoirs beneath the Southern California coastal plain have mounted tremendously. State engineering reports, which are now in the hands of the Citizens Colorado River Water Committee, revealed that 200,000,000 gallons a day are being used in excess of replacements by either man or nature. Huge Overdraft Explained In contrast to a 170,000,000 daily overdraft estimate contained in a previous report, the 200,000,000 gallon figure is explained in bulletin No. 32, a publication of the State Division of Water Resources, headed by Edward Hyatt, State engineer. A study of the report will be made in the near future, it was indicated at headquarters of the Citizens Committee. Such action is to be taken upon completion of the task of sending out 500,000 endorsement cards to secure organized support of immediate Metropolitan aqueduct construction. Solution of Problem The solution of the problem, according to the document, lies in the importation of water from the Colorado river water and from Mono basin. The former project is being pushed by the Metropolitan Water District, while the Mono basin supply. It is hoped, will suffice during the construction period of the giant Colorado river aqueduct. "Preliminary studies indicate," the report says, "that instead of one simple basin there are twenty-nine units or underground reservoirs and that each one is a problem which must be studied separately. A few of these basins apparently have a surplus, considering the long time average replenishment. The others are overdrawn in varying degrees. But legal, financial and physical barriers to general transfer of supplies from one to the other are almost insuperable, so that any estimate of present shortage must disregard the surpluses and combine the shortage in individual basins. Over 200,000 Acre-Feet "On the basis, preliminary estimates place the aggregate present shortages in the agricultural area, or eastern two-thirds, at between 200,000 and 250,000 acre-feet" when translated into gallons equals approximately 200,000,000 gallons, engineers pointed out. Mrs. Fether in Jail, Gets Out on Writ At About Capacity For about the first time this season the packing houses are operating at about capacity, with the outlook considerably better than a few weeks ago. Not only are train loads of Valencias moving, but ship loads are leaving the San Pedro harbor for the consuming markets of Europe. The Placentia Mutual packers are handling oranges at the rate of a car load an hour, and this week will ship about 60 cars. 365 Cars For Season Bradford Bros., according to Glen Wiley, manager, have shipped 100 cars so far, and he estimates the Valencia shipments will for the season reach 365 carloads—which is "some" oranges. The Placentia Growers association is maintaining a steady schedule with indications that the packing pace may be maintained until the end of the season. In the City's Orchard The municipality of Anaheim owns an orange orchard of 30 acres and the crop is now being harvested by three packing associations. Anaheim Citrus Fruit has gathered 900 field boxes, the Anaheim Orange and Lemon association has picked well over 100 field boxes from another ten acres, and the Anaheim Co-Operative will gather the other ten acres. The grove is showing about the usual drop, the oranges running in the average of 288 to the box. Young Peoples Union In Joint Convention The Baptist Young People's Union and the German Baptist Sunday schools of California will open a four days' joint convention in Bethel Baptist church tonight, closing by attending the union services of Anaheim churches in City park Sunday night. It is expected that all of the German Baptist churches of the Southland will be represented by delegates. On the program tonight will be addresses of welcome and responses, and the Rev. A. A. Schade, of Pittsburgh, Penn., field secretary, will also speak. Three sessions will be held Friday, the Rev. K. Feldmeth, of Los Angeles, to open the morning session with devotions, and addresses will be by the Rev. J. Schwietzer, of Wasco; the Rev. P. J. Reiche, of San Francisco; and H. Iland, of Wasco. The afternoon session will begin with devotions by Dan Marschall, of Anaheim, and the speakers will be Frank Wall and Paul Leuschner, both of Los Angeles, and Rev. G. E. Lohr, of Lodi, and Mr. Schade. A song service will be held in the evening, followed by an address by Mr. Schade. The Saturday morning session will include devotionals by Miss Meta Deuelan, an address by Mr. Seade and Mr. Schade. Mrs. Fether in Jail, Gets Out on Writ Mrs. Donald Fether, wife of the manager of the Emsco aircraft factory at Downey, is out of the county jail where she spent 36 hours because Justice Morrison, of Santa Ana, did not like her assertion that Orange county officials carried liquor in their cars and drove their cars as fast as they pleased; also that she had friends in high places and could not be jailed. She had been arrested on a charge of driving her car 52 miles an hour on Newport avenue on July 1. She was released from jail under bond of $500 on a writ of habeas corpus issued by Judge G. W. Freeman, of Riverside, presiding as temporary judge in Superior court. The hearing is to be held tomorrow afternoon. Mrs. Fether's attorney in asking for the writ argued that she had been arrested in a township where Justice Morrison did not have jurisdiction. Preparations Begun For Pomona Fair Orange county has received an invitation from J. M. Paige, superintendent of the agricultural and horticultural department of Los Angeles County fair in Pomona, again to participate, in the exposition which will open on Friday, Sept. 18, and continue for 19 days through Sunday, Sept 27. Calling attention to the fact that this is being presented as one of the outstanding features on the program of celebrations, the letter states that preparations are going forward with a view of surpassing all previous efforts. When it is known that Los Angeles County Fair last fall attracted an attendance of nearly 300,000, some idea of the magnitude of these preparations can be gained. PEDDLER'S LICENSE $100 The Board of Supervisors, have responded to recommendations of Orange county merchants by passing an ordinance imposing a license fee of $100 a year on all peddlers and solicitors working in the county. The ordinance becomes effective in 30 days and violation carries a penalty of $500 fine and six months in the county jail. SUB-DIVISION APPROVED The City Plan commission has recommended proposed improvements of a sub-division at Center street and Lincoln avenue, east of Villa place.
