City Council Sets Flat Rate On Colorado River Water Minimum Rate To Be Effective Over Two-Month Period Beginning August 1, to Continue Until October 1 Saturday night bathers will be given the opportunity of the daily bath and flowers will grow more profusely for the next two months as a result of decision of the city council to set a flat rate on Colorado river water, which is expected to flow through the water mains momentarily. The council adopted a resolution Tuesday night establishing a flat rate of one dollar per meter for domestic consumption between the meter readings of August and October. The effect of this action means that all domestic consumers will be placed on this low rate for this period commencing with the time their respective meters are read in August. This method of setting up the two month period was necessitated by reason of the fact that the Public Service department reads its meters on a full month schedule. The special rate is applicable only for the "consumption of water for domestic purposes," which term definitely excludes water used for irrigation purposes, except for lawns, household gardens and ornamental trees, flowers and shrubs. The purpose of the resolution is to introduce the residents of the city to the new water, which is definitely "softer" than that now being pumped. Several of the cities of the district have already received the water.

Bad Check Charge Faces L. A. Man Identified Here Merchant Identifies Man Who Passed Bad Check Nearly a Year Ago Identified as the man who nearly a year ago passed a fictitious check at the Gallenkamp shoe store here, Roy Teague, alias Roy Schwartz, was taken into custody in Los Angeles and may face a felony charge in Orange county courts, according to the Sheriff's office in Santa Ana. When Schwartz was arrested in Los Angeles recently on robbery and burglary charges, his description and picture were sent to numerous places in California, including the sheriff's office. They were sent to Santa Ana because a man giving the name of Roy Schwartz and answering the description of a man seen in Anaheim, had passed the check at Gallenkamp's. Manager Bert Perrin, of the local store, immediately identified the picture as that of the man who had passed the fictitious check, officials said. Monday, deputy sheriffs, in company with Perrin, went to Los Angeles where the latter identified Teague as the "Roy Schwartz" of the Anaheim incident. Schwartz denied he passed the check in Anaheim but a hold was placed on him so that he can be brought here for prosecution.

Letter From Alaskan Visitors Tells Of High Cost of Living in Far North The Sour Dough Hotel on 1333 Icicle Ave., the best house north of Mexico, is where Mr. and Mrs. John Tuffree of Placentia are now too warm, open the window and see the fire escape; guests wishing to do a little driving will find hammer and nails in the closet; if Letter From Alaskan Visitors Tells Of High Cost of Living in Far North The Sour Dough Hotel on 1333 Icicle Ave., the best house north of Mexico, is where Mr. and Mrs. John Tuffree of Placentia are now staying in Dawson of the Yukon Territory on their seven-week trip through Canada and Alaska. In a recent letter to the Gazette, Mr. Tuffree told the high prices of food, freight and gasoline. "Everything up here is pretty high—freight $70 to $300 per ton; flour $12.50 per hundred; sugar $10 per hundred; bread, three loaves for a dollar; eggs 80c per dozen, tomatoes 50c per pound; and gasoline 50c to 90c per gallon," he writes. EXTENSIVE AIR TRAVEL Airplane travel is extensive in Canada, according to Mr. Tuffree who stated in the letter, "Airplanes go winter and summer and both the trapper and "sourdough" go by air now. A trip that takes nine days is made in 45 minutes by air. Food and equipment for 300 miles costs $125." The Placentian declared that Dawson is falling into decay rapidly and many of the famous old places are being torn down in order to lessen fire hazard. Dawson at one time had a population of 40,000 and now there are only 1500 inhabitants. A SENSE OF HUMOR However, the people have still kept their sense of humor. This can be shown by some of the house rules of the hotel where the Tuffrees are staying. "Board, $2 per square foot; if the room gets too warm, open the window and see the fire escape; guests wishing to do a little driving will find hammer and nails in the closet; if you are fond of athletics and like good jumping, lift the mattress and see the bed spring" and many others. OLD LAND MARKS The letter also describes the region near Dawson. "Close by Dawson the Klondike river enters the Yukon and in the mouth a very pretty island is located. This island is called Louise Island and it is where the pretty girls held out in the gold rush days. "The old Royal Alexandra hotel still has the same giant leather chairs, big brass spittoons between a leather pedestal in the center fitted to your back. The old saloon and Flora Dora room with its pictures is now used by the hotel as a cafe." The Tuffrees spent an interesting two days among the old ruins and gold diggings of the Klondike and Bonanza Creek area. Mr. Tuffree states that the memory of "this old place" will linger and linger, a disappointment to many. "The old 'sourdough' says happiness to have the gold was not the thrill, but, to deserve it was the joy to himself and others." The Placentia couple are enjoying their trip but said the continuous daylight is hard on the traveler. They will return in the middle of August.

GAZETTE CALIFORNIA, THURSDAY, JULY 17, 1941 NUMBER 39 Kiwanis Club Sees African Pictures Ceremonies and Dances Of Natives Depicted In Color Films Dr. Donald H. Abbott, five years connected with the Mother-of-Health hospital in Johannesburg, South Africa, entertained the Kiwanis club on their regular meeting Tuesday noon at the Elks' Club by showing moving pictures of South African native life. He was introduced by Dr. John Wood, program chairman. Many local doctors and nurses were present. In the scenes of native life, marriages were shown, illustrating the queer ceremonies and dances. Dr. Abbott pointed out that dead persons are always buried in sitting positions at a Rhodesian funeral. RHODESIA CIVILIZED Rhodesia is a semi-arid country with numerous hills and many Holland Dutch inhabitants. It is one of the most civilized countries in Africa, Dr. Abbott explained. In the northern part is Victoria Falls, 800 miles from the source of the Zambizi River. Dr. Abbott believes that this fall sis one of the most fascinating in the world. It drops 350 feet, is 1000 feet across the top and 300 feet across at river level. David Livingston, the English explorer, was the first white man to see the falls and discovered them in 1855. A statute has been built there in his honor.

One of the co-operative organizations reported that they sold 1540 carloads of valencias, which is more than in any other week in its forty-eight years of operation. In a survey recently made throughout industrial areas of Canada and the United States, business was booming, but the agricultural sections are not as well off, with a demand for agricultural products better prices. Results of the survey showed that the demand for canned orange juice, concentrated orange juice and citrus pectin is greater than can be supplied by the California plants.

Building in County Tops 1940 Record New building in Orange county during the first half of 1941 was slightly ahead of the volume for the same period of 1940, the Orange County Builders' exchange reports. From January 1 to June 30, 1941, permits were issued for new construction valued at $3,368,530, an increase of $112,438 over the $3,172,092 total during the first half of 1940.

Results of the survey showed that the demand for canned orange juice, concentrated orange juice and citrus pectin is greater than can be supplied by the California plants. It is thought that the demand will be strong enough to absorb some of the fruit that would normally go into fresh fruit channels. Anaheim Aces Now In First Division After Fresno Win Interest Running High As Team Hits Winning Streak in Series Duplicating the 6-3 score by which they won Tuesday night's game the Aces hung up another win Wednesday night, bringing them into a tie for second place with Fresno. Both the Cardinals and Aces are crowding the Saints for the top position. Both teams were held scoreless for the first three frames. In the fourth Fresno hung up a pain of runs on four hits and an error; the Aces coming back in their half of the inning to shove five runs across the plate on six hits and a miscue.
