The vines were planted last season from cuttings received from Fresno. We have been experiencing some curious weather during the week. On Tuesday heavy rain fell for a brief period, while 25 Years Ago August 5, 1940 Owing to the increase in population and the new law passed by the last legislature stipulating that voting precincts shall contain not more than two hundred voters it has been found necessary to redistrict the city of Anaheim and divided it into eleven precincts instead of eight, which it contained heretofore. The registration for the last election was 1970, consequently it was necessary to make more precincts. City Engineer Steward has been busy preparing a map and the precincts will be bounded accordingly. J. W. Duckworth, the newly-elected secretary of the Board of Trade and the Merchants association took charge of his two offices Monday. At present he will maintain an office in the library building until a suitable place is provided in the business heart of the city.

Olson's "purge economy bloc members," most upon President Roosevelt's active attempt to purge congressional years ago of members who refused to be "rubber stamps." Roosevelt effort was almost complete failure. Speaker of the Assembly had Garland this week predict like failure of the efforts of Olson to defeat legislators who fused to vote new and add taxes and give exorbitant sums money for relief, which he since have proven to have unnecessary. "The governor already has said that his ambitions run counter to the desires of the people of formia," Garland said. "He tempted to place candidates each assembly district now presented by an economy bloc ber, but reports show many men he desired to run have refused to become a party to his sch as a result, fourth, fifth and sixth choice candidates in cases represent the Olson tribe." Contact with the rank and file of Californians at their homes since the legislature recessed shown that the people are record with the economy and eny efforts of the economy members, Garland said. Want better and more economic state government and are sympathy with Gov. Olson tempts to build up a political chine to advance his own political ambitions," he declared. The governor's supporters, while many of whom are Prof. Dowlen, the vine expert, paid a visit to the vineyard of J. W. Hinton in Placentia last Wednesday and after a thorough inspection of the vines, pronounced them entirely free of disease of any description.

Mrs. J. M. Loveland of the Bolsas has presented us with two beautiful shell-flower bouquets, for which she has our thanks. The flowers have a tint so delicate and natural that it is almost impossible to believe they were made from shells until a close inspection is made. The lady is an acknowledged artist in the line of making shell flowers. We have never seen anything so lovely as her shell flowers. The Gilman walnut crop was sold yesterday to F. H. Keith, who represented Thacher Bros. The price was by the several bidders to be 1 in confidence, but it is understood to be 9 cents or a little over. There were five bidders after the crop, F. H. Keith, S. Littlefield and Cook & Langley of this place and one firm at Los Angeles and another at San Francisco. Mr. Gilman figures his crop at 20 tons, but it may go above that amount. At 9 cents Mr. Gilman will receive $3,600 for his crop. His oranges brought him upwards of $7,000, and his deciduous fruit will go to about $1000. The income of the orchard this year will thus amount to nearly if not quite $12,000. Very good for "dull times." Rev. J. H. Harwood, D. D., principal of the Orange County Collegiate Institute, gives notice in our advertising columns this morning that the college will open on Monday, September 8th next. Col.

"Now that the 1928 law have been cancelled as of April 1, those who delay in renewing 'good until revoked' license will be faced with even longer layes when the licenses issued in 1929 are cancelled."

ANAHEIM GAZETTE Sion Attempting Legislative Purge Governor Seeking to Defeat Members of Economy Bloc at Polls First-line news of the state legislature since the close of the special session in May revolves around Gov. Olson's "purge" of economy bloc members, modeled on President Roosevelt's abolition attempt to purge congress two years ago of members who refused to be "rubber stamps." The Roosevelt effort was almost a complete failure. Speaker of the Assembly Gor Garland this week predicted a failure of the efforts of Gov. Olson to defeat legislators who refused to vote new and additional taxes and give exorbitant sums of money for relief, which events have proven to have been necessary. The governor already has found his ambitions run counter to desires of the people of California," Garland said. "He has attempted to place candidates in an assembly district now represented by an economy bloc member, but reports show many of the men he desired to run have refused become a party to his schemes. A result, fourth, fifth and even sixth choice candidates in many cases represent the Olson ticket." Contact with the rank and file Californians at their homes, see the legislature recessed, have known that the people are in accord with the economy and efficiency efforts of the economy bloc members, Garland said. "They don't better and more economical the government and are not in sympathy with Gov. Olson's attempts to build up a political machine to advance his own political ambitions," he declared.

Preliminary bouts will bring Tom Zaharias into the ring against Ignacio Martinez and Vince Austeri facing Hans Schultz. MORE ABOUT Grand Jury (Continued from page 1) ed, but "up to the present time we have been unable to obtain any results. We believed that this is due to the fact that there is far too much attention to politics and too little consideration for the taxpayers of the county. We feel Orange county is one of the most extravagant in its expenditures of any county in the state, and apparently there is no willingness or ability to effect any savings." Criticize Flood Control The jury had critical comment to make regarding supervisorial control of the flood control district. It declared that there were "inequalities in appraisals" of Prado dam basin land, and that prices paid for properties did not match appraisals. To replenish the flood control bond fund, the jury recommended that the supervisors apply for $1,000,000 now available from the federal government, and commented that no application for federal funds to replenish the county's Prado dam outlays has been made since Oct. 11, 1939.
