CITY MAINTAIN BUILDING OF ORANGE Santa Ana Creeping U ably Close in Tota to Date. Anaheim still main ord as the fastest gr Orange-co for another building permits for the totalling $263,500, a $18,650 for the last w Santa Ana, however uncomfortably close with a total for the yesterday of $254,257, a $34,500 for the last w However thanks to mits taken out in D ling around $300,000 month alone, Anahe claim a big lead over ange-co cities for months. There are many projects to be started is believed the build ord will be maintained RIVER MOUTH’S NEW CHANNEL SUCCESS Flood waters of the Santa Ana river are now flowing direct into the ocean instead of thru Newport harbor and members of the Orange-co-harbor commission were being congratulated today upon their wisdom in leaving to flood waters the task of excavating the channel across the sand spit. The commission now has available for use in other work $20,000 that it was expected would be expended in opening the channel to the ocean. The heavy rains of Sunday sent a flood of storm water charging down the Santa Ana river. The S. P. had not completed connection between its line and the P. E. for routing S. P. trains over the P. E. bridge crossing the new channel and a culvert was put in to carry the water from the river to the new channel. The culvert was not large enough to convey the volume of water, with the result that the culvert was washed out and the full flow of the river is now running to the ocean unimpeded by railroad obstruction. A large channel has been washed out between the rock jetties and the storm waters have performed the work the commissioners believed the waters would do when they were turned into the new channel. Before the railroad bank gave way a big volume of water was impounded in the area west of the dam at Bitter Point and this was drained off when the breag occurred in the railroad embankment. Silt that would have been deposited in the harbor by the flood waters is going into the ocean, which will do no harm. It is estimated that it would have cost several thousand dollars to remove the soil that would have been deposited in the harbor by the flood waters this winter had not the change in the channel course been completed. The dredger working in the bay is nearing the point where it will soon sweep into the area of the turning basin just east of the bridge on Newport-bldd crossing at the Santa Ana river—the river that was, so far as the point of the bridge is concerned. The dredger is plowing thru solid ground at this time and depositing the silt on lands belonging to the La Habra Land and Water Co. It is estimated that the new lands being made by the dredging operations will materially increase the assessed valuation of the properties. LONG BEACH PLANS Admission, H. A. Dickel; Amusements, H. E.

Secretary Fraser will have charge of the detail work in all departments and has been appointed manager for that purpose. Atho no plan of the ground space has yet been issued, at least 15 industrial exhibit spaces have already been verbally ordered. It is believed that the demand for these spaces will be immediate and general and therefore those local firms which contemplate association with this department should place their names before the manager at once so that they will have first call on available spaces in the order in which they appear. The need of an annual event designed to further the knowledge of the public as to the California valencia orange has been evident to all engaged in this industry for several years. Anaheim Board of Trade, just before its disintegration had a live committee, bent on starting this year and the work was taken up by C. of C. and much discussion followed. About six weeks ago, Mr. A. W Reeves, one of the directors suggested that the C. of C. father enterprise and put on such a show the first year as would compel general attention and approval and thus guarantee the possibility of holding such an undertaking every year. The board unanimously approved the suggestion and at a meeting soon thereafter, all the A. C. of C. of Orange-co, the approval of all the units in that association was given with hearty accord. To put the final stamp of approval on the California Valencia Orange Show, Orange-co supervisors last Tuesday made a substantial appropriation, thus recognizing it as a county factor in upholding. The several counties in California which devote considerable areas to the production of valencia oranges will be thoroly canvassed by the proper committee and this work begins immediately. Several citrus associations have already promised to lay before their members the advisability of joining in making a great orange exhibit in this show.

Anaheim Is Fastest Growing City ORANGE County Plain Deer LEADING NEWSPAPER IN NORTHERN ORANGE COUNTY. Anaheim, California, Friday, March 18, 1921 MAY DIE FROM TOA Be Held on New City Park CITY MAINTAINING BUILDING DECORD OF ORANGE COUNTY Santa Ana Creeping Up Uncomfortably Close in Total for Year to Date. Anaheim still maintains its record as the fastest growing city in Orange-co for another week, with building permits for the year to date totaling $263,500, an increase of $18,650 for the last week. Santa Ana, however, is crowding uncomfortably close on our heels with a total for the year up to yesterday of $254,257, an addition of $34,500 for the last week. However, thanks to the heavy permits taken out in December, totaling around $300,000 in that one month alone, Anaheim can still claim a big lead over all other Orange-co cities for the last four months. There are many large building projects to be started shortly, and it is believed the building permit record will be maintained. E. H. Metcalf Candidate For School Trustee E. H. Metcalf has filed nomination papers for grammar school trustee. This makes two candidates for the one position to be filled, J. M. Gunnett having filed papers yesterday. HOME OF R. L.

The exact origin of the fire is not known but Miss Olive had lighted an oil stove and it is that this may have exploded. No one was in the room at the time the fire started. Heroic efforts were made to save the house but were unavailing and the house burned to the ground, all the contents being destroyed also. The house was a bungalow and was valued at about $2,000. It could not be learned whether there was any insurance or not. When the man saw they could not save the house they turned their attention to the barn and were able to save that. Several pieces of household furniture were stored in the barn and Mr. and Mrs. Taylor feel that it was fortunate that they were saved. NAB NEW SUSPECT IN BIG BURGLARY Deputy Sheriff Charles Holbrook returned today from a point north of the Tehachepli with a Mexican alleged to have been one of the gang which looted the "Swelldom" store at Placentia several weeks ago. It is understood that the Mexican was taken on information furnished by two others who have been held in the county jail for some time. They are said to have made a complete confession. The officers are withholding the name of the Mexican apprehended by Holbrook and say that they have two others under suspicion. A large part of the clothing stolen from the Placentia store has been recovered and the officers expect to get more of it. SCHMIDT BUYS GROVE FROM C. D. JONES F.W. Schmidt, who this week sold the Anaheim Motor Co., has purchased a five-acre grove of six-year-old valencias from C. D. Jones. He obtains possession immediately and will build a home on the ranch. The transfer was made by the C. C. Latshaw Co. HOME COMING DAY AT CHRISTIAN CHURCH $500,000 HOTHOUSE PLANNED IN COUNTY A big industry in development of an immense hothouse plant for growing roses for the cut flower market of So. Calif. is being considered for Santa Ana or some other point in Orange-co, definite decision as to point of location to be made within two or three days. Amling Bros. of Chicago are men who will install the big plant Ernest Amiling, one of the brothers, has been living since last June at 606 E. Chapman ave. Orange. A site in Santa Ana had been selected but it was found impossible to supply that tract with the gas necessary to operate big houses and today other sites were being investigated in locations where gas will be available. Amling Bros. are now operating hothouses at Des Plaines, Ill., and are supplying the Chicago cut flower market and other markets in that section. According to Ernest Amiling, he and his brother, Paul C. Amlog, who resides at Des Plaines, propose the location of a hothouse plant with an initial plant that will give employment to 15 persons with plans providing for extension of operations to give employment to 100 or more vestment of around $500,000. That the brothers do not intend delaying active operations in execution of their plans is evidenced by the arrival yesterday of P. L. McKee, president of the American Greenhouse Co., Chicago. McKee is to supervise the construction. The plant here will be devoted to the propagation of roses and special effort will be made to develop new roses, with the crossing of hothouse roses of the east and California's outdoor roses. Sites in other Orange-co and So. Calif. cities have been under consideration and one of them may yet become the scene of operations. "I believe there is a big field in Los Angeles and So. Calif. for cut flower trade," said Ernest C. Amlog today. "Chicago is a wonderful market." So. Calif. is growing very rapidly and I expect to see it become a section of a great deal denser population than obtains at this time, with the result that it will offer one of the wonder markets of the world for cut flowers." OPPOSED TO COUNTY LIBRARY Directors of the Trustin Leonon Assn were on record today as being opposed to the organization of a county free library system. The supervisors have been advised of the attitude of the board by a letter from Secretary Roy Runnels, reading as follows: "At a meeting of the board of directors of this association the establishment of a free library in Orange-co was discussed, and in view of the many increases in our taxes necessitated by the arrest of H.W." TRUCK DRIVER FINED $20 City as well as county officers are determined to enforce the laws governing overloaded trucks. This is followed by a fine of $409,079 resulting from the imposition of the new tax of its 1920 gross income, no provision having meen mad for it.

This Paper Believes in the People and Desires Nothing Better Than Their Continued Confidence, TWENTY-FOURTH YEAR TOAD-STOOLS Complains to R. R. Com. Against Stage Drivers. Robt. C. Boyd, of Arshelm, has filed with the railroad commission a complaint against the practice of stage line drivers conversing with passengers, particularly "chickens" for whom room is made in the front seat, to the detriment of proper attention to the handling of their car. Boyd was in a recent stage wreck when he suffered severe injuries to his back and nervous shock. He obtained a settlement, with the stage company for this. He says a basis of the settlement was the drivers were to be warned against the practices he complains of. The complaint just filed with the railroad commission applies to a trip from Anaheim to Los Angeles this week. He says the driver, at Fullerton, crowded two elderly ladies to make room with him in the front seat for a "chicken." They had proceeded but a few blocks when the driver became attentively engaged in conversation with the girl beside him, their heads very close together. Boyd requested that the driver pay more attention to the road whereupon the driver drew up at the curb and told Boyd "if he didn't like the way the car was operated he could get out." Boyd stayed, in and says the animated conversation continued into Los Angeles, although he was continually apprehensive in view of his recent wreck experiences when the driver was in a collision because of his attention being directed to a girl passenger.

Fansher did not know that Deputy Sheriff Holbrook and Justice Cox had positive proof that Fansher was a deserter. "Aren't you a deserter from the army or navy?" asked Judge Cox. "No, sir," replied the prisoner. "Your honor," said Deputy Dist. Atty. Mozley, "this man is wanted by the naval authorities for desertion. I ask that the check charges against him be dismissed so that he may be turned over to the naval officers at San Diego." "What about this, Fansher," asked Cox. "Well, I guess they've got the goods on me," was the answer.
