Mary Marshall's "Very Latest" ILLUSTRATED ARTICLE EACH WEEK FOR WOMEN WHO SEW FOR SELVES THE GAZETTE CALL TWO-FOUR-ONE-FOUR VOLUME LXI Aqueduct Bond Election Sept. 29 Voters of 15 Cities Will Express Themselves on Building the Giant Project TOTAL COST $220,000,000 Sentiment Said to Be Strongly in Favor of Enterprise The election on the question of a $220,000,000 bond issue with which to construct the aqueduct which is to tap the Colorado River and bring water into Southern California is to be voted on September 29. This date was announced by the directors of the Metropolitan Angeles, last Friday. Water District at its meeting in Los 4,000 Voting Precincts The amount of the bond issue is based on estimates made by Chief Engineer Weymouth, who says that a full-size 1500 second foot aqueduct can be built for $220,000,000. This sum includes the cost of distributing lines to each of the fifteen cities in the district, including Anaheim, Fullerton, Santa Ana. There are about 4,000 precincts in the entire district where voters will express themselves on the bond issue. It is the solution of the Metropolitan directors. Lemon Growers Cut $98,308 "Watermelon" A payment of $98,308.83, representing an advance on fruit graded during June, has been made to growers in the Central Lemon Association, according to Roy Runnels, manager of the association's plant. The payment, one of the largest advanced this season, represented 2 1/2 cents per pound on graded fruit for June besides an additional one-half cent per pound for all fruit graded from November 1 to June 11. "Prices obtained during the last few weeks have been very satisfactory," said Mr. Runnels. "The quantity of lemons sold compares very favorably with that of any previous year." "The quality of the fruit on the average has been very poor and quite a percentage is arriving in the market showing some decay. This would have a demoralizing effect on the market if it had not been for the hot weather which enabled buyers to move fruit to consumers promptly." Mr. Runnels revealed that June picks were the heaviest in June history, totaling 70,215 boxes. The crop is now practically all off the trees with the result that picks are expected to be light for the balance of the season. The association has approximately 100 cars in storage at the present time but the fruit is being moved out at a rate of four cars a day, it was reported. Two Conspirators Host Up Weather Angeles, last Friday. Water District at its meeting in Los 4,000 Voting Precincts The amount of the bond issue is based on estimates made by Chief Engineer Weymouth, who says that a full-size 1500 second foot aqueduct can be built for $220,000,000. This sum includes the cost of distributing lines to each of the fifteen cities in the district, including Anaheim, Fullerton, Santa Ana. There are about 4,000 precincts in the entire district where voters will express themselves on the bond issue. It is the opinion of the Metropolitan directors that the bond issue will be favored by a heavy majority. The Uppermost Question The question uppermost with voters is what the amount will be for each property owner in the district, and the directors estimate that the cost to each property owner will be spread over a period of six years, or while the aqueduct is under construction and until revenues from the sale of water begin will not be at all burdensome. For an individual who owns a home say, worth $7,000, the average tax per year during the six years will be $3.50 a year, or less than a cent a day. Under the law governing the Metropolitan Water District bond issue, only a majority vote is required to authorize the issue. Expressions of Directors All of the directors attending last Friday's meeting expressed the opinion that the cities they represented would give a large vote in favor of the bond issue. Among these were O. E. Stewart, Anaheim city engineer and a member of the Metropolitan board. "Anaheim is anxious to get this job started." Mr. Stewart said, "for the water problem is the most important one before the people of our city and of all Orange county. As far as we are concerned, the bond election could be held tomorrow." Fullerton and Santa Ana Walter Humphreys, a member of the board from Fullerton, told the directors that he had discussed the aqueduct project with practically every civic leader in his city, and he found almost a unanimous sentiment favoring the immediate construction of the aqueduct. "I have not heard of a single responsible person in Santa Ana expressing opposition to the aqueduct and I firmly expect to see my city give the aqueduct a majority of 10 to 1," said Col. S. H. Finley, representing Santa Ana on the board. 266 Miles of Lines The $220,000,000 cost also includes the construction of a diversion dam at Upper Parker Canyon and a terminal storage reservoir in the Cajalco hills, with an initial capacity of about 100,000 acre feet. In all, about 266 miles of actual lines by the Parker route to the terminal reservoir and on to the terminal cities. Mr. Runnels revealed that June picks were the heaviest in June history, totaling 70,215 boxes. The crop is now practically all off the trees with the result that picks are expected to be light for the balance of the season. The association has approximately 100 cars in storage at the present time but the fruit is being moved out at a rate of four cars a day, it was reported. Two Conspirators Heat Up Weather Took Much of Glory Out of California Brand—105 In Anaheim Old Sol and General Humidity joined forces some ten days ago and gave the Southland such a run of high temperatures that the "glorious weather of California" was just nothing to write to the folks back East about. 105 on Two Afternoons The hot weather conspirators began to show what they could do last Friday, when early in the afternoon they shot the mercury in shaded thermometers up to 94. Regarding this as not high enough, they pushed the mercury up to 105 in Anaheim measuring tubes Saturday afternoon, and, as an encore, did it again Sunday afternoon. Anaheim, in case you did not notice it, had a rain Monday morning, when about 9:30 perhaps a half-pint of water fell on the city. It was not much of a rain but it served to cool the ardor of the high temperature makers, and 98 was as high as the mercury went that afternoon. Orange Beaches Crowded Hot weather has been the chief topic of conversation all over South California, and on Sunday the victims did more than talk about it. They swarmed to Pacific beaches by the tens of thousands, and the stretches of sand all along the Orange county ocean front of 40 miles were crowded by bathers and their big umbrellas. The sea water also felt like pelting sun, the temperature being above 73 degrees at Newport and 84 at San Clemente and Huntington Beach. Bathers Covered With Oil There was consternation among the bathers at Huntington Beach when hundreds of them emerged from a high wave and found they were coated with heavy, gooey, sticky black oil. An oil tanker had emptied its ballast into the sea, which spread over an area some 20 feet wide and ten miles long. The oil-coated bathers scampered out of the waves and ran for the bath house, where quantities of kerosene were used.

Wayne R. McIntosh, both pastors of the Four Square church on Monday evening, the ceremony being at the church, with the Rev. Alice Wilson Parham, of Santa Ana, officiating. The church was filled with invited guests and a large number stood on the walks outside the building. The church interior was decorated with long palm branches, greenery covering the wall at the rear of the altar. An informal song service was prelude to the ceremony, led by the Rev. Wilfred C. Parham, of Santa Ana, Miss Hazel Stuckey sang, accompanied by Mrs. O. Lee Shoemaker. Miss Hazel Hammond was maid of honor and the bridesmaids were Carol Rapp, Anna Westerhold, Pauline DeWitt and Helen Wicker. George Goodyear was best man. The double ring service was followed, the ring bearer being Junior Waskom. The flower girls were Shirley Ann Hall and Marcella Eeby and the vell carriers were Betty Jean Sims and "Tootsy" Perkins. Following a brief honeymoon at a nearby beach, the newly-weds will leave on an evangelistic tour and will return to Anheim in the autumn again to take up their church work. Bathers Covered With Oil There was consternation among the bathers at Huntington Beach when hundreds of them emerged from a high wave and found they were coated with heavy, gooey, sticky black oil. An oil tanker had emptied its ballast into the sea, which spread over an area some 20 feet wide and ten miles long. The oil-coated bathers scampered out of the waves and ran for the bath house, where quantities of kerosene were used to wash off the oil, while others took kerosene baths at nearby filling stations. The tank ship was far off shore when it dumped the ballast. It was not the first time tankers have befouled the waters along the Orange county shore, but it was the first time so many bathers had been covered with the fluid. Washington Birthyear Program in Anaheim Postmaster J. H. Whitaker is spreading the word that a committee will be formed in Anheim which will have general charge in the nation-wide celebration of George Washington's 200th anniversary, which begins next February 22 and continues through Thanksgiving. Mr. Whitaker is asking civic and other organizations to appoint representatives and a meeting will be called soon to formulate plans for fitting observance of the anniversary year. At this first meeting, Postmaster Whitaker said, plans of the United States Commission, which is directing the anniversary celebration, will be discussed. It is the intention he said, to formulate plans which will reflect credit to Anaheim. HUNTERS TAKE EARLY START Headed for Mendocino county for a ten-day fishing and hunting trip, L. N.

Reid ROASTING EARS THE BERRIES AND FRUITS CHERRY PIES WE MORTALS NEW POTATOES Low Cost Figures On Big Aqueduct Speakers Bring Subject Close Home to Anaheimians at Committee Meeting The project to bring the Colorado River water into the Anaheim district, as well as to other sections of the Southland, was brought closer home to local people on Monday evening at a meeting of the Citizens' Committee at the City Hall. The speakers were Walter Humphries of Fullerton and O. E. Stewart of Anaheim, who said that Anaheim's share of the cost would be about $741,000. Cost Not a Burden The cost, they said, would not be burdensome to any property owner. During the eight years' period of construction, the owner of a residence valued at $2,000 would average about $1.96 a year in interest on the aqueduct bonds and at the outside it would not exceed $2.25 a year. Peak price on aqueduct water will be about $1.35 a hundred cubic feet. Mr. Humphries favored a plan whereby the users of waters would pay the interest on the bonds and the assessed property would redeem the bonds. The committee will meet at the City Hall again on the evening of August 8, the public being invited to the sessions. Publicity Committee Formed Chairman Leo J. Sherldan has appointed a committee on publicity to Water Needs Told "In a Nutshell" The Anaheim Citizens' Committee has issued the following statement on present water conditions and what the cost will be for Anaheim to obtain water from the Colorado River aqueduct: 1. NEED OF WATER. (a) Water level now at 12 feet above sea level. (b) 48-foot drop in water level since 1927. (c) 87-foot drop in water level since 1916. (d) 45 square miles of former artesian basin now salt. 2. ONLY AVAILABLE SUPPLY. (a) 1500 second feet, or 1,050,000 acre feet yearly from Colorado River. (b) Anaheim's quota at present assessed valuation, 3720 acre feet. (c) This amount sufficient for a city of 30,000 without using the local supply. 3. COSTS. (a) Total cost of aqueduct, to deliver water into the mains of the member cities, $220,000,000. (b) Anaheim's portion of cost, $741-000 in 50-year bonds. (c) Cost to average home property assessed at $2,000, cost per year, $2.00, or 16 2-3 cents a month. 4. BOND ELECTION. (a) Date, Sept. 29, 1931; (b) Total bond issue, $220,000,000.

New Committee on Oil Stabilization The Orange County Citizens' Comunion Services Attended by 1,000 United Congregations Hear a "Four-Square" Sermon by Rev. B. C. Voll A congregation estimated at 1,000 sought the cool of Anaheim City Park last Sunday evening to attend the union services of local churches, and heard a sermon by the Rev. Bernard C. Voll, of the West Broadway M. E. church. Special music in the form of duets was given by the Rev. and Mrs. S. F. Hilgenfeld. Heaven a New City The pastor spoke from the text in Revelations 21:16: "And the city loth four square." Mr. Voll said in part: "Heaven is a new city. It is also a condition of the soul. In this city the length, breadth and height are equal. The dimensions of the soul are given in the text. Whatever the line of activity a person follows, in business, trade or profession, the most should be made out of it that the soul may be lengthened. Important as the length is, it is a failure without breadth. Breadth applies to others, while length applies to the individual consideration of other persons." Church Is Broader Minded "The Christian church has many faults, but it is becoming broader minded than at any time in history. Various denominations are meeting together for a single purpose—an increase in the breadth of the church." Publicity Committee Formed Chairman Leo J. Sherldan has appointed a committee on publicity to spread abroad information on the aqueduct enterprise and the importance of bringing Colorado River water into Southern California. The publicity committee is made up of Judge J. S. Howard, Charles Pearson, L. H. Loudon, D. D. Waynick and W. B. Allen. It has organized by electing Judge Howard as chairman and Mr. Pearson as secretary. Water Factions to Unite on Program When the Orange County Associated Chambers of Commerce met at Laguna Beach, Tuesday night, Ross A. Shafer, of Tustin, reported that indications were good for the various water conservation factions in the county lining out their differences and uniting on a program. Committees representing the factions have been holding sessions for the purpose of finding a common ground on which the various organizations may stand and work to a common end. An agreement in principle has been reached, Mr. Shafer said. One agreement is that vested rights must be respected. Court actions now pending against cities outside of the Santa Ana River basin were deplored, and hope was expressed that the difficulties can be settled out of court. Mr. Shafer said that parties to the suits have expressed a willingness to compromise the issues upon which the suits were brought. The enterprise of the water companies of putting now available water in the county to beneficial use was commended. New Committee on Oil Stabilization The Orange County Citizens' Committee on Oil Stabilization is the name of an organization formed in Santa Ana last Friday evening, with L. A. West, Santa Ana attorney, as its chairman. It was effected at a meeting of civic and industrial leaders of the county. Speakers at the meeting described the oil industry as one of the keys to Southern California's prosperity, and that the stabilization of oil would help to solve unemployment. Some of the speakers urged motorists not to patronize bootleg gasoline stations, as price cutting on the fluid is one of the prime evils in the present chaos of the oil industry. In addition to Mr. West, members of the committee are: W. C. Jerome, Mayor John Cox, C. H. Chapman and A. J. Crookshank of Santa Ana; Chairman J. C. Mitchell, of the county supervisors, Garden Grove; T. B. Talbert, Huntington Beach; Lew Wallace, Newport Beach; Barney Crawford, Tustin; C. C. Chapman, Fullerton and Dr. C. G. Huston, Costa Mesa. Orange County Funds Draw $74,324 Interest A report issued by State Controller Ray L. Riley shows that for the year 1930 Orange county drew $74,324 in interest on funds which the county had on deposit in various banks. But banks, trust companies and other repositories in which the county deposits its money have lowered the rate of interest which they pay on deposits, so for 1931 the county funds will not draw as much income from this source. The lower interest rate effects all the counties of the state, as well as townships and municipalities which carry bank deposits. Church Is Broader Minded "The Christian church has many faults, but it is becoming broader minded than at any time in history. Various denominations are meeting together for a single purpose—an increase in the breadth of the church. The soul world cannot exist without height, which means upwardness toward God, and the foundation for such height must be built strong and deep. What we are depends upon the length, breadth and height of our soul." The sermon at the union service next Sunday evening will be by Rev. Virgil K. Ledbetter, pastor of Calvary Baptist church. Yoo-Hoo, Hawkeyes! Picnic On August 8 Yoo-Hoo, you Hawkeyes! You picnic at Bixby Park, Long Beach, all day on Saturday, August 8. This is the Jumbo of all the state plenies held in Southern California, and it brings together thousands of "exiles" from Iowa who can't get back to the old homeland, who do not want to go, or are for one the charge of John G. Spelleman. Couples married for fifty years or longer are asked to take dinner together in a shady reserved section of the park and then go to the platform for the program. There will be special exercises for these old-timers and several prizes will be distributed—to the oldest couple, to the couple having the most descendants at the picnic, and others. Reason or another are "afeared" to go. Judge William Hazlett, president of the Iowa association, will preside at the coming picnic. Mayor Fickling, of Long Beach, will voice the welcome, and responses will be by Judge Carl F. Stutsman and Lyman M. King. Cornet and vocal numbers will be given by Dr. Ed. M. and Mrs. Hiner. The special feature of the day will be the "Golden Wedding Pageant," in HINTS FOR THE HOME NANCY HART MAKES MANY TIMELY SUGGESTIONS FOR WOMEN READERS THE GAZETTE 108 NORTH EMILY STREET Number 43 Walnut Memberships Close Friday Night Arthur Staley, secretary and manager of the Fullerton-Placentia Walnut association, announces that the membership rolls will close this Friday night, and that growers who have not taken membership cannot obtain the benefits of packing and marketing which the association offers. Over 1,000 new members have applied this year to the California Walnut Growers association, of which the local association is a member. State membership now totals nearly 6,500 and handles 90 per cent of the entire state crop. This high percentage of cooperative control is declared one of the main reasons why the association has been able to distribute each year's crop at satisfactory prices. According to Mr. Staley, the largest crop in prospect this year will undoubtedly cause local markets to be glutted. During harvest season each year numbers of growers bring walnuts to association packing houses only to have them refused because they are not members. Blanks on which application for membership may be made are available from the main office of the California Walnut Growers in Los Angeles or from the Fullerton-Placentia association office in Fullerton. To be accepted, they must be mailed by July 31. Adolph Maas Tells of Buffalo Bill No Results From Water Conference Supervisors of Three Counties Fail to Reach Agreement at Riverside ORANGE BOARD HELD BACK Unwilling Now to Pledge Any Support to Program The private conference of boards of supervisors of Orange, Riverside and San Bernardine counties on water conservation projects in the Santa Ana river valley, held at Riverside, last Friday, failed to accomplish anything definite for the reason that the Orange county supervisors were reluctant to commit themselves on what this county will or should do. Chief Purpose of Conference The chief purpose of the conference was to learn what each of the three counties will do to raise a fund with which to match the state appropriation of $400,000 for the proposed projects. After a discussion of three hours, the supervisors adjourned to meet again. The upset of the original program Adolph Maas Tells of Buffalo Bill Orange Grower in His Boyhood Knew Famous Scout Back In Iowa "If a white man tells you that the Indians ever started a battle against the pioneers, you just tell him that Buffalo Bill said he was a 'd—— ilar!'" This was the strong sentiment and language William F. Cody, better known of the Indians to a group of admiring as Buffalo Bill, used in describing his feelings of the white man's oppression adolescent boys gathered round the well-known Indian scout's wild west show of Chicago days, according to Adolph Maas, resident of Anhelm for many years and now a dry goods merchant of Los Angeles. Buffalo Bill Could Shoot Mr. Maas, who owns an orange grove here and is a frequent visitor at Kuehn and Bremer's on East Center street, recalled the gala old days of wild west shows and paid high tribute to his memory of Buffalo Bill. "He was the most accurate shot I have ever seen," Mr. Maas said. "Buffalo Bill would practice on a stubble field where his trained horses, not needing the reins, would gallop in a circle and from a specially-built trap glass bulbs would be thrown into the air. Buffalo Bill from his galloping horse would shoot and break the bulbs. Very few did he miss. He Liked Indians My uncle was a very good friend of Buffalo Bill. They were boys together and after the Indian scout had gained fame, renewed acquaintanceships whenever they met on their Iowa farms. "It was during these visits that I learned so much about Buffalo Bill's feelings toward the Indians. He loved them because he admired their courage, their fortitude, their sense of fair play, and their resentment against the constant encroachment of the white man on their reservations.

To be accepted, they must be mailed by July 31. Chief Purpose of Conference The chief purpose of the conference was to learn what each of the three counties will do to raise a fund with which to match the state appropriation of $400,000 for the proposed projects. After a discussion of three hours, the supervisors adjourned to meet again. The upset of the original program occurred early in the conference. Chairman C. E. Grier of the San Bernardino board announced that San Bernardino county proposed to raise $80,000 for conservation to match state funds. Of this amount, he said, $40,000 would be spent in the west end of the county and $40,000 in the Santa Ana basin, adding that of the latter $40,000, approximately $20,000 would be used to conserve flood waters in streams contributory to the Santa Ana, such as Lytle, Devil and Cable creeks and smaller streams in the Yucaipa district. No Definite Pledge The Riverside supervisors then proposed that inasmuch as San Bernardino would be using but $20,000 on the Santa Ana proper, Riverside would cut its proposed $40,000 appropriation in half, or to $20,000, which, in effect, would mean the slashing of the appropriation for Orange county to $10,000. To this proposal the Orange county supervisors would make no definite pledge. Orange county's representatives informed the meeting that they would determine nothing until the current year's budget is adopted and the tax rate examined; in any event, they were unwilling to pledge support to any development program on the upper Santa Ana River. No Demand for Secrecy The charge that Orange county supervisors had demanded "secrecy" at the Riverside meeting was met by denial, together with the statement that their request had been instead, that the meeting be limited only to members of the three boards of supervisors. Explaining this request, a member of the board said that Orange county supervisors invited to water conferences on the upper counties on previous occasions, had found, that nistad of meeting with the supervisors of those counties they would encounter only water company representatives; engineers or others seeking to interest them in some plan, decision upon which rested with the supervisors of the counties involved. With such supervisors absent local supervisors found themselves unable to reach any conclusions or decisions regarding the proposals made. Tired of Maneuvering Being "tired" of such maneuvering, they said, they made the request, when the invitation to Friday's conference was received, that they be allowed to Broader Minded church has many incoming broader mindes in history.

"It was during these visits that I learned so much about Buffalo Bill's feelings toward the Indians. He loved them because he admired their courage, their fortitude, their sense of fair play, and their resentment against the constant encroachment of the white man on their reservations. Big Herds of Buffalo "Buffalo Bill resented the fact that every time the Indian was placed within certain boundary confines, the white man couldn't resist going within the Indian's territory and killing off all the game in sight. We must remember that the Indian lived largely by hunting, and that the white man killed apparently just for the lust of it. "Buffalo Bill said that in his boyhood days he had seen herds of buffalo a mile wide and three to five miles long. Later he came back and saw bones of buffalo stacked up ten feet high, covering acre after acre. The white man didn't kill to eat. All he wanted was the hide and tongue, and more often than not even mutilated these." Death Warrant Signed "Buffalo Bill said that with the disappearance of buffalo the Indian death warrant was signed, because it was chiefly on the buffalo that the Indian fived." Mr. Maas said that Buffalo Bill admitted the Indians for attempting to protect their happy hunting grounds. The Indians didn't start warfare except when aggravated beyond endurance by the white men, who invaded the reservations, let alone on all the territory rightfully was the Indian's. Post-Nuptial Shower For Newly Weds A post-nuptial shower for Mr. and Mrs. Earl Pugh was given last Saturday evening by Mrs. E. B. Harker, Mrs. E. A. Booher and Mrs. Lawrence Reott, at the home of Mrs. Harker on West Lincoln avenue. Bunco was played until midnight when supper was served. A tea wagon piled high with gifts was presented to the newly-weds, all of them appropriate for their new home. Mrs. Pugh was Miss Margaret Harker before her marriage. Tired of Maneuvering Being "tired" of such maneuvering, they said, they made the request, when the invitation to Friday's conference was received, that they be allowed to meet not with unofficial personages, but with the boards of supervisors themselves, so that they could "talk business." Slot Machine Case Hearing August 14 Albert R. Bailey, delicatessen shop owner of Balboa, charged with operating a gambling device, will be tried before a jury in Justice K. E.-Morrison's court, Santa Ana, Aug. 14, it was decided when he appeared in court today. A slot machine said to have been operated by Bailey in a store at Santa Ana Gardens was the basis of the charge against him. He was one of two defendants arrested by Sheriff Logan Jackson's men before a temporary restraining order was obtained by Henry T. Foust, slot machine owner. Subsequent dissolution of the restraining order was followed by prosecution of the two cases. W. J. Johnson of Greenville, the other defendant, pleaded guilty and received a suspended sentence of six months in jail. Smart Speedsters Nabbed at Newport Fifteen smart speedsters, about all of them from out of Orange county, were nabbed by State Highway patrolmen at Newport Beach, Saturday night and early Sunday morning. The offenders were driving from 55 to 65 miles an hour. The patrolmen gave them tickets and directed them to "tell it" to the justice of peace at Tustin.
