Is Now In Its 63d Year OLDEST PAPER IN THE COUNTY THE GAZETTE 108 NORTH EMILY STREET VOL. LXIII IMPRACTICAL ENGINEER’S DREAM TO CANALIZE, BRING MORE WATER HERE GETS HYSTERICAL INTERPRETATIONS Premature Plans Fathered by Browning and Sponsored by Farm Buréau Receive Publicity Calculated to Alarm Growers of This District; Real Question is First to Determine Feasibility What appears to be an engineer’s impractical dream to bring more water to Orange county was greeted this week by hysterical interpretations in the daily press. Indefinite figures and premature plans were viewed with alarm as first mention was made of the farm bureau plan to canalize the Prado basin by PENNIES DROP INTO STATE’S TREASURY TILL Anaheimers Pay Average of Two Cents Each This Week Under Levy Tuesday Every man, woman and child in Anaheim dropped an average of two pennies into the state’s cash till this week. When Anaheimers went downtown to shop Tuesday, they had to divvy up an extra penny for all purchases, except for gasoline and services, from 15 to 59 cents; two pennies for purchases which Engineers O. E. Steward of Anaheim and C. Roy Browning of the Irvine interests estimate 17,000 acre feet of water could be saved annually from transpiration and evaporation. The total cost would be in the neighborhood of $2,000,000, with tentative plans for financing through the national recovery program from R. F. C. funds. The canal projected would be approximately 22 miles long, and would transverse many thousands of acres in the Prado basin, a large share of which is river bottom land now uncultivated. The Anaheim Union Water company and the Santa Ana Valley Irrigation company own something over 3,000 acres in the key positions of the valley, while the Southern California Edison company owns about 1800 acres from which certain water rights are understood to have been sold. This is the land the company wanted to sell to the state for first-offenders prison at $300,000. Mrs. R. H. G.

When Anaheimers went downtown to shop Tuesday, they had to divvy up an extra penny for all purchases, except for gasoline and services, from 15 to 59 cents; two pennies for purchases ranging from $1.06 to $1.50; and one cent more for each additional 40 cents cents. Pennies, like the proverbial sands at the beach story, grew in piles to total $220 for Anaheim alone during the week; for the year they will pay into the state treasury more than $11,099 in sales taxes. The schedule announced above for applying the two and one-half cent sales tax was announced by the state board of equalization, and is the one officially suggested for following in the average store. Several Anaheim stores, however, have figured out the sales tax rate upon their own business, altering the schedule slightly, because they are held responsible for their gross sales upon which they must pay the consumer's tax. For that reason, to protect their own business, they must make slight changes in the schedule. The state law specifically defines the tax a consumer's tax, prohibiting merchants from absorbing the tax and directing methods by which it must be passed on to the consumer. However, merchants are required to make separate entries for their taxes on each slip, files of which must be open for inspection at any time by state inspectors. Merchants will be required to take out a state license costing one dollar during the next 30 days, instructions for which will be announced later. Governor Rolph, in signing the bill Monday afternoon, termed it "the only real revenue-producing measure passed by the legislature." Commenting upon it, he said: "I balanced the budget once and added no extra burden of taxes on the state (Continued on page 8) The program is fathered by Browning with no apparent selfish motive other than securing more water for the county, by which the Irvine interests would secure its proportionate increase with other farming groups. The idea fastened itself upon the farm bureau committee, of which Steward is chairman, with the result that this representative body adopted it as the farm bureau plan. That was sometime early in June. Browning appeared before the county's two major irrigation companies, the Anaheim Union Water company voting to appoint two representatives to sit in on conferences, but without power to act. Members of the board of supervisors also sat in on the conferences, and are understood to be among the most enthusiastic backers. If the program were practical it would provide additional and much-needed irrigation water for the county. However, its chance of success, even if officially sponsored by a united Orange county, appear dim because of prohibitive cost of buying the water rights to thousands of acres in the Prado basin. The scheme would lower the water level to 22 feet below the surface by means of pumping, with the water going into the canal and being sold to the water companies and other groups, returns from which would pay redemption and interest charges on the gigantic project. Dangers of the project, as hysterically pointed out in the daily press, lie in increasing flood hazards, especially such tremendous floods as in 1917, because thousands of acres would be denuded. Feasibility of the project lies partly in determination of an engineer's dispute whether transpiration or evaporation causes the greatest loss of water and mostly in whether water rights would cost too much. Figures from national forest officials in regard to transpiration versus evaporation are in conflict with the claims of Browning and Steward. However, lowering the water level would tend to decrease evaporation, although it would be far from eliminated. Chairman Willard Smith of the board of supervisors claims the matter lies mostly with the new Orange county water district, created in June by passage of the measure through the legislature and signed by Governor Rolph. Mrs. Gilman is swidower, three daughter Bowen of Placentia, and Mrs. Robert Cruz and a son, R. H. Gilmil Beach; three sisters Brewer and Pauline A Mrs. Roberta Brewer and a brother, T. H. Angeles.

IN THIS ISSUE TURN TO PAGE (7) Chairman Willard Smith of the board of supervisors claims the matter lies mostly with the new Orange county water district, created in June by passage of the measure through the legislature and signed by Governor Rolph. The project was scheduled to be presented to an advisory committee of the Associated chambers of commerce Monday evening, but was shelved when Steward could not obtain certain data. President H. H. Hale of the Anaheim Union Water company summarizes his company's stand in the following statement, sent to the Anaheim Bulletin, the Fullerton News-Tribune, and other papers: "In Monday's issue of the Anaheim Bulletin, apparently copied by the Fullerton Tribune, there appeared an article written by Floyd McCracken, of the Bulletin, in which reference was made to the attitude of the Anaheim Union Water company toward certain projects which were under consideration by the Orange county board of supervisors. There were so many mis-statements in this article that we feel an answer should be made, and for that reason only, and not to defend any action taken by the directors of this company. I am answering this article. In the first place, O. E. Steward did not state that a movement was under way to spend $2,500,000.00 on a flood protection and water conservation plan. What he did state was, that, The board of supervisors had under consideration three plans of water conservation and river protection, the total of which was approximately $2,500,000.00, and that the water committee of the associated did not feel like taking the responsibility of sponsoring any one plan at that time." A motion was made and carried that a new committee composed of the chairman of all the committees of the Associated chamber of commerce be formed for the purpose of studying and (Continued on page 8) ANAHEIM, CALIFORNIA, THURSDAY, AUGUST 3, 1933 Mrs. R. H. Gilman Is Mourned Here Pioneer Succumbs to Stroke at Redondo Monday; Funeral On Wednesday Scores long-time residents of Northern Orange county this week mourned the death of Mrs. R. H. Gilman, pioneer citizen of Placentia, who Sunday suffered a stroke and died Monday morning at her home, 422 South Catalina avenue, Redondo. Funeral services were held form the home Wednesday, with McAuly and Sutter of Fullerton in charge. Burial followed at Loma Vista cemetery. Helen Elizabeth Wright Gilman was born in Arkansas, Oct. 15, 1860, and crossed the plains in 1869. She spent her girlhood in Anaheim, meeting Mr. Gilman in 1880 and marrying him three years later. He was a pioneer orange grower of the Placentia district. In 1919 they moved to Redondo. Mrs. Gilman is survived by her widower, three daughters, Mrs. Helen Bowen of Placentia, Mrs. Harry Tritt and Mrs. Robert Cruzen of Villa Park, and a son, R. H. Gilman Jr., of Laguna Beach; three sisters, Mrs. Lulu J. Brewer and Pauline Ames of Pasadena, Mrs. Roberta Brewer of San Francisco; and brother, T. H. Wright of Los Angeles. Both Mr. and Mrs. Gilman have been active leaders for the prohibition cause in Southern California. NATION-WIDE SEARCH ENDS AS WORTMAN FOUND Poem "Goin' Back to Kansas By and By" Printed In 1910 Proves Revelation A nation-wide search for the unknown California poet who in 1910 accurately described the speed and service of present-day transcontinental airplane lines ended last week when the trail led to the May 10, 1910 issue of the Anaheim Gazette, and thence to Poet William E. Wortman. This is the second time in the last decade that public attention has been focused on this veteran newspaper man who for more than a quarter of a century was assistant editor of the Anaheim Gazette, retiring three years ago because of ill health. He now lives at 308 East Chartres street, from where he takes daily walks to the city park, then to the public library where his mind and spirit keep abreast of the fast-moving world, although his 73 years prove pretty much of a physical handicap. The search for Bill or Shorty, as he is known among his friends, started when Miss Dorothy Forbes of Placentia, 23 years ago, copied "Goin' Back to Kansas By and By" and sent it to William Wagner, employed in the Transcontinental and Western Airline. This Poetic Prophesy When William E. (Bill or Shorty) scores the following poem 23 years ago, he little dreamed and a kind invitation to be the guest of the Inc., for the exact trip described in the last stanza.

H. Gilman Jr., of Laguna Beach; three sisters, Mrs. Lulu J. Brewer and Pauline Ames of Pasadena, Mrs. Roberta Brewer of San Francisco; and a brother, T. H. Wright of Los Angeles. Both Mr. and Mrs. Gilman have been active leaders for the prohibition cause in Southern California. Funeral Monday For J. McDuell Well Known Rancher Succumbs To Heart Attack Suffered Friday in Grove Funeral services were held Monday from the Backs, Terry and Campbell parlors, with Rev. Charles E. Maltas of the St. Andrew's Episcopal church of Fullerton officiating, for John M. McDuell, prominent rancher of La Palma avenue who died Friday afternoon a few hours after suffering a heart attack while working in his grove. Burial was in Loma Vista cemetery. Pallbearers were: R. J. Dugdale, Herman Allgeyer, W. D. Grafton, J. M. Callan, O. A. Mason, E. C. W. Morgan, C. M. Claggett and Dr. Thomas Quline. He is survived by his widow, Anna M. McDuell; one daughter, Mrs. Richard Canning of Fullerton; three sons, John William, Robert Lee, and Joseph Mortimore, living at home; and one grandson. Born in Pleasant Valley, Maryland, near Baltimore, on January 25, 1870, Mr. McDuell was educated in the rural schools of the district, later attending business college in Baltimore. He first entered the commission business and later the mercantile trade at Suffold, Va. Coming west, he was for many years associated with the Souhern Pacific railroad at Deming, N. M., and at Tucson, Ariz. He came to California in 1913, settling in Orange county and had been especially active in the Episcopal church. John J. Kopitzke Rites Wednesday Pallbearers sadly carried the body of John J. Kopitzke, 79, from the Zion Lutheran church Wednesday afternoon following funeral services officiated over by Rev. H. G. Schmelzer and attended by scores of friends. Burial was at the Anaheim cemetery. Mr. Kopitzke died early Monday at his home on West Lincoln avenue, 308 East Chartres street, from where he takes daily walks to the city park, then to the public library where his mind and spirit keep abreast of the fast-moving world, although his 73 years prove pretty much of a physical handicap. The search for Bill or Shorty, as he is known among his friends, started when Miss Dorothy Forbes of Placentia, 23 years ago, copied "Goin' Back to Kansas By And By" and sent it to William Wagner, employed in the Transcontinental and Western Air Inc., Hollywood office, with the notation that he might be interested. He was. The last stanza fitted the present-day schedule of the line exactly. He sent it to the firm's President Richard W. Robbins in New York. The president also was impressed. He notified every T. W. A. employee to constitute himself a committee of one to find the author with the comment: "Any poet who could look forward 23 years and predict so exactly the speed with which he might return to Kansas from California should be granted the realization of his dream. If Mr. Wortman can be found I will see that he is enabled to make that trip to Kansas by airplane. It would seem almost as if he had consulted the schedules of TWA planes as he wrote the poem. Californians today eat their breakfasts at home at the regular hour, have their luncheons served aboard the plane in flight about midway, and are in Kansas in time for the evening meal. Mr. Wortman will have that experience if we can find him." Airplane magazinesSpeeded the search. They reprinted the poem, with enthusiastic comments.Newspapers sensed the drama, printed columns about the poetic prophesy. Naturally, Mr. Wagner got in touch with Miss Forbes who looked back in the family's treasure lure and discovered the poem had been run in the Gazette, May 10, 1910.She was more interested than ever, got in touch with the Gazette and then amiable Bill himself, who till that time was entirely unaware of the search that was being made for him.-Reporters from "Speed", a magazine printed in the interests of travel-air progress, called; the August issue contains his picture and a story about the finding of the "Poet of Aerial Prophesy." Bill is enjoying the kind invitation of President Robbins in the most substantial way yet devised—in spirit and imagination. He had to decline with thanks the airplane ride.His spirit wants to and does go, his mind says "yes".But a heart which has labored for three score and 13 years says "no".The altitude, at times reaching 9,000 and 10,000 feet, is prohibitive, especially when 30 years ago his system rebelled at the rarified air encountered when coming to California. Placentia Votes Own High School Quits Fullerton Union High School District by Two to One Ballot Cast Monday Placentia, by a whopping two to one vote,Monday decided to divorce the Fullerton union high school and build its own secondary educational institution. Out of a total of 920 ballots cast,587 favored withdrawal from Fullerton and establishment of the Valencia high school district.In accordance with the wishes of the people,the grammar school trustees immediately will take charge of the high school district affairs,and the county board of supervisors will set up the new district and levy taxes for it in accordance with the budget as adopted by the school trustees. Elementary School Superintendent Ralph Essert also will be principal of the new high school. Present plans call for establishment of the first-year only this year.with erection of buildings and enlargement of curriculum one year each year till the full four-year course is provided This will obviate taking students already started at Fullerton out and placing them in the new school,and also will allow for a slower and more thorough construction and curricula program.it is stated. Following the school district election last spring,when the Placentia representative on the Fullerton union high school board was defeated by a campaign directed from the larger city.Placentia prepared a petition for formation of a new school district.The was approved by the board of supervisors and by the board of education on July 8.at which time 30 days were John J. Kopitzke Rites Wednesday Pallbearers sadly carried the body of John J. Kopitzke, 79, from the Zion Lutheran church Wednesday afternoon, following funeral services officiated over by Rev. H. G. Schmelzer and attended by scores of friends. Burial was at the Anaheim cemetery. Mr. Kopitzke died early Monday at his home on West Lincoln avenue, following an illness of several weeks. He is survived by his widow, Augusta Kopitzke; four daughters, Mrs. Ed Keup of Marion, Wisconsin; Mrs. Helen Keup of Anaheim, Mrs. Robert Veach of Corona and Mrs. Herman Fraham of Big Bear, California; one son, Henry Kopitzke of Anaheim, 21 grandchildren and two great grandchildren. He was born in Germany, but came to the United States as a child. He had lived in Anaheim for 21 years. Bible Class To Meet In August The Young People's Bible class will continue to meet during August. This was the unanimous decision of 98 persons present at the meeting Monday evening at the Y. M. C. A. Dr. H. A. Johnston has been leader of the class since its inception more than a year ago. Attendance has averaged 100 and more for many months. Nebelung Tells Official Policy Anaheim's Raymond Nebelung, chief appraiser of the federal loan bank with offices in Berkeley, told growers attending the citrus institute at Corona Friday that loan values of citrus groves are being based upon the assumption that citrus is a basic crop. This automatically makes groves eligible for loans. Supervisors Approve 29 Beer License Applications, Sales to Open August 21 At least 29 beer merchants will sell the new legal three-point-two beverage beginning early August 21. This was assured Tuesday afternoon when the board of supervisors approved that many applications for beer licenses. The licensees first met the requirements of the county ordinance, which prohibits issuance of licenses to persons who have been convicted of a felony or a liquor charge within the past year, and that the place of business shall not be within 300 feet of church or school property, if not in a built-up business district. Sheriff Logan Jackson first examined each applicant to see that he complied with the law. The board held up two applications until changes in locations are made in compliance with the law: held another for further investigation, and did not act on 11 other applications which had not been investigated. Secretary B. Z. McKinney of the Orange county democratic central committee presented a second resolution of that group to the broad of supervisors Tuesday, asking that the rate of pay in emergency work be raised from $2.50 a day to either $3.20 or $3.25 per day, as is paid in other counties. McKinney stressed the program of President Roosevelt for shorter hours and higher pay. Members of the board reminded McKinney that the county at present is paying out of its own coffers for the entire July work, and that an effort was being made to spread employment as far as possible. In this county the men are only worked seven hours a day, whereas in others they are worked eight, making an actual difference of only four and one-half cents an hour. The supervisors announced that they are working with state and federal officials in an effort to get outside help for emergency employment, and until some decision was reached in this matter, it would be folly to change the present rate. It was pointed out that San Diego and San Bernardino had seen the folly of paying the higher scale, and that San Diego on Tuesday was going back to the $2.50 per day plan.

As soon as NRA emblems were received at the postoffice Tuesday, signers of the agreement beseiged Postmaster J. H. Whitaker for them. Win-in his radio talk ten days ago.

This program was submitted this week to the board of supervisors in conjunction with the national recovery act. Many details of each project are contained in the files of County Superintendent of Roads Nat H. Neff, but have not yet received the full attention of the supervisors. The program is in the tentative stage. Officials of various cities projecting improvements have not given the plans a thorough study. From the collection, however, the construction program for the county will be based. The projects include $4,290,040 expenditures and 489,660 days of employment on county projects and $2,770,126 expenses and 162,600 days of employment on city projects. County projects on the list are as follows: Hospital, $30,000 and 3600 man days; Aliso creek dam and reservoir, $111,000 and 9000 days; San Juan dam and reservoir, $1,077,980 and 146,000 days; Santa Ana river diversion, $750,000 and 135,000 days; Break creek dam and reservoir, $760,000 and 73,000 days; Santa Ana, river flood protection, $980,000 and 90,000 days; Santiago creek flood control dam and channel, $498,560 and 24,000 days; Newhope Drainage district protection $2500 and 60 days; Talbert Drainage district protection $80,000 and 9000 days. Law Interpreted For Supervisors Deputy District Attorney W. F. Menton advised the county board of supervisors Tuesday afternoon that the county cannot legally donate sugar, fruit jars and other materials or funds to unemployed groups for canning operations. He pointed out that dealing with groups is prohibited, and that the law clearly specifies only help to individual cases through the county welfare department. The ruling was asked in response to a request from the unemployed groups of the county for materials, supplies and funds to be used on collective canning operations.
