"SOMETHING TO THINK ABOUT" Face to face with the significant fact that business might be good, the chipping interests of Balboa are stranded on the snores of a closed harbor. Such places of business as the Newport Harbor Marine Corp., Roger Bros., Tom Broadway, and the Balboa island boat house are made to suffer because of the dilatory tactics of the harbor commission in opening the harbor channel and completing the jetty. Mr. Voter, this is "Something to Think About!" Nature has graciously blessed Orange-co with a skeleton for one of the greatest inland harbor resorts in America—but men must carry on. This harbor can become of great service only when the channel is opened to admit sea-going ships. Steamers that might ply between Catalina and Balboa or Long Beach and Balboa find it impossible to operate because there is no channel or jetty protection. This deplorable condition, Mr. Voter, is "Something to Think About!" The large vessels, that make deep-sea yachting possible, will have to leave if the channel and jetty are not properly fixed in the near future. This is far reaching in its importance, for once diverted, it will be difficult to secure their return and as these ships pay the heaviest marine tax into the county treasury, it will mean a great financial loss. This, Mr. Voter, is "Something to Think About!" The Orange County Harbor Commerce which has been widely advertised will not only be affected by the unwarranted delay of the harbor commission in carrying the channel and jetty operations to completion, but another and very serious situation confronts the property owners in the immediate vicinity of the harbor. If business interests are stifled and yachting is put out of commission, real estate will be materially effected. Without an active harbor, the real estate property in and about Balboa must perceptibly drop in valuation. Now, frankly, Mr. Voter, isn't this "Something to Think About!" TAX OR TARIFF: WHICH IS TO BE FIRST! Which problem shall the Harding administration forces take up first, overhauling of the federal tax list, or revision of the tariff? This is one of the puzzling questions of the hour in Washington. It is to be discussed and decided in a series of conferences among party leaders, beginning next Monday. Secretary of the Treasury Mellon is to be consulted, and his recommendations, it is conceded, will have great weight in the conferrings. President Harding himself may have to throw the weight of his opinion and influence into the conference, for it is known that differences of views exist among Republican leaders in Congress. For example Congressman Fordney favors taking up the tariff first, and he has a number of supporters in this whereas Congressman Nicholas Longworth believes taxation should be the first to receive revisional attention, and he is not along in this viewpoint. The conciliatory, co-operational tactics of President Harding will have a test in this. It will be seen whether or not practical team-work in important legislation can be instituted at the very start of the new administration. It is to be hoped, for the good of the country, that this co-ordination and co-operation can be effected, and that needed enactments may be hastened. In such form as to be acceptable and beneficial to the country. EXTRA SESSION TO HAVE WORK Anaheim! among its various industries has one of the largest dairies in Northern Orange County. This dairy pays out thousands and thousands of dollars every year to employees and these people spend practically every dollar of their money with the Anaheim merchants. Yet many of the merchants of Anaheim, and some of them whose names appear on the "Trade In Anaheim" page of The Plain Dealer, buy their dairy products from outside dairies, when they can get a better product right at home. To prove this, all that is necessary is to get a bottle of our and place it with a bottle from these outside dairies in a cool place and keep them both for at least two days and see what happens. Could I get the combined trade of the merchants, restaurants, soft drink establishments and people in general, thousands and thousands more dollars would come right back to Anaheim trading center, instead of going to other towns as now. It we are really in earnest about this "Trade In Anaheim" matter the merchants, restaurant men and soft drink people at least should play the game. The Orange County Harbor Commerce which has been widely advertised will not only be affected by the unwarranted delay of the harbor commission in carrying the channel and jetty operations to completion, but another and very serious situation confronts the property owners in the immediate vicinity of the harbor. If business interests are stifled and viewpoint. The concellatory, co-operational tactics of President Harding will have a test in this. It will be seen whether or not practical team-work in important legislation can be instituted at the very start of the new administration. It is to be hoped, for the good of the country, that this co-ordination and co-operation can be effected, and that needed enactments may be hastened, in such form as to be acceptable and beneficial to the country. EXTRA SESSION TO HAVE WORK PLANNED The Sixty-seventh Congress will be summoned in extraordinary session, beginning on Monday, April 11. President Harding has let the definite date be announced. Meantime committees, of Congress and administration leaders are busily engaged in formulating proposed legislation to be considered at this momentous sitting. Revision of the tariff and overhauling of federal taxes will first receive the constructive attention of Congress. Several weeks will be consumed in discussing these measures and in bringing them to final vote. Definite action probably will be taken, at some time while the session lasts, to bring the war with Germany to an end. The exact course to be pursued as to this, however, and the time for such action, remain to be evolved. It will be an historic session. No Congress, in time of peace, ever has faced so many problems of such unexampled gravity. The economic welfare of America and of the world depend largely upon the work of this sitting. Big, broad, brainy statesmanship should hold the boards in this Congress. It would be miserably deplorable to have petty politics and tawdry demagogism displayed during the extra session, to the hampering of the great work in hand. It is to be hoped that the members of the Sixty-seventh Congress will come to their arduous tasks duly sobered by the weight or responsibility and solemnly resolved to do their very best to act upon as high plane of sound statesmanship and acceptable Americanism. The Village Gossip The ruling of the appolate court or the cooperative marketing proposition was no surprise to Manager W. H. Schureman, of the Anaheim Citrus Fruit Assn. The by-laws of the latter organization were patterned after those of the Indian Hill association at Pomona and Schureman, who helped organize the Cal. Fruit Growers' Exchange, assisted in drafting them. Schureman can tell some interesting experiences with the veteran attorney who did the actual drafting. He was a mighty keen lawyer, the very eccentric. Schureman remembers one statement he made after the conference had extended for several hours: "Now, you fellows tell me what you want to do and if I Fine Bargains in Used Cars 2 1919 Oakland Touring Cars in first class mechanical condition $785 & $890 1 1920 Briscoe, nearly new $875 1 1917 Seven Passenger Studebaker Six, fine condition $600 1 1917 Dodge, good condition $650 1 1916 Dodge, thoroughly overhauled, with new top, only $600 —Good assortment of 1915 to 1920 Ford Tourings, Roadsters and Delivery Cars at lowest prices.

A rooster has every right to flap his wings, and to indulge in rancous crowds, let him go to it. At any rate, that was the opinion of Art Schnitzer, of Garden Grove. So, when one of Schnitzer's chanticleers n displaced his crow the other day Schnitzer was all sympathy. He decided that it must be a terrible thing for a full grown rooster to have his vocal apparatus "on the blink." Accordingly, Schnitzer began giving the rooster treatments. Tenderly Schniger rubbed the rooster's neck. With the utmost solicitude Schniger massaged the suffering fowl's vertebrae. Tue rooster blinked up at Schnitzer with profound gratitude. Shortly there was a faint rattle in the throat of Schniger's chanticleer. The rattle grew in volume. Before lpgs a good-sized shriek emanated from the rooster's bill and the shriek in a few moments developed into a regulation, voluminous crow. Now Schniger's rooster is able to crow as loud as his companions in the Schnitzer yard. A frisky bull buffalo may be turned loose in Orange County park to play with the squirrels and amuse the children. The board of supervisors has received a letter from A. H. Mulvane, 704 East Maple ave., Orange, in which he suggests that the county obtain one of the 20 buffaloes offered free by the forest service department of the government. Mulvane sent the supervisors newspaper clipping bearing an announcement of the forest service that reads in part as follows: "Here is an excellent opportunity to get a real, live buffalo—not as gentle perhaps as a kittine, but, nevertheless, a nice pet if you have plenty or room to keep him, surrounded by a 12-foot, double ply, woven wire fence, and the price of two tons of hay a year." The buffalo are the surplus of the flourishing herd in Wichita Nation­forest, started 15 years ago with 15 head but now numbering 150. Ac­ VILLA PARK FRUIT MAN FAVORS SHIPS Declaring he is strong for the development of a fleet of ships to be operated by grower associations in the shipment of California products to Atlantic and other ports and supporting the suggestion that Orange-co harbor be made the home port for a part of such a fleet, if operation from that port is feasible. William Smith, prominent fruit grower of Villa Park and director of the Orange-co Fruit Exchange today joined others in public approval of the project under consideration at this time by the California Fruit Exchange. The committee appointed by the central organization to go into every phase of the development of a ship line is still engaged in its work and is making a thorou investigation so that when it submits its report the directors will have before them every bit of information it is possible to secure at this time. "The development of a fleet of ships is coming just as sure as the sun rises and sets," said Smith today. "How soon it will be an accomplished fact cannot now be predicted. The success of shipments that have been made has thorou demonstrated that water transportation is available to the citrus industry. It is available to all kinds of produce from the state of California. In my opinion co-operation of other associations of growers would make the success of the enterprise doubly certain." "I understand that plans for financing the project are now under development. I believe financiers of So. Calif. have submitted a tentative proposition for the financing of the project. Institution of a line operated co-operatively by grower organizations would be a big step in progress and I believe farmers are ready to give their financial and moral support to the movement. "I believe in Orange-co's harbor at Newport bay. I would like to see the harbor made home port of a part of the fleet—that is, for the smaller vessels, and it is to be regretted that his civil rights by an order perior Judge West.

IMPROVEMENTS IN GARDEN GROVE IN GARDEN GROVE. March 2 N. Northcross has moved a mule house on his ranch and has old house for a barn. George Tyler has moved he recently purchased from thy place to his home place, one mile north and one-half west of Garden Grove. Oil leasing seems to be due of the day, nearly everyone living in that locality. Mulvane sent the supervisors newspaper clipping bearing an announcement of the forest service that reads in part as follows: "Here is an excellent opportunity to get a real, live buffalo—not as gentle perhaps as a kittie, but, nevertheless, a nice pet if you have plenty or room to keep him, surrounded by a 12-foot, double plly, woven wire fence, and the price of two tons of hay a year." The buffalo are the surplus of the flourishing herd in Wichita Nation Forest, started 15 years ago with 15 head but now numbering 150. According to the forest service announcement, there are too many bulls for domestic tranquility in the hord and any institution may obtain one free by paying the cost of erating and hauling. Supervisor N. T. Edwards, it is understood, will take the matter up with Mulvane and see what arrangements can be made for securing one of the buffalo. Two former deputy sheriffs of Orange-co know just what it is to be held up by a band of Mexican bandits. They know what it is to have a muzzle of a revolver jabbed into their ribs. They know what it is, because they have gone thru with it. Roy Ballard and Roy Davenport are the former deputy sheriffs concerned in this tale of loot and life in Cullacan. Some six or eight years ago when war on speeders was in its infancy, before Judge Cox was famous, Orange-co selected a pair of likely-looking motorcyclists to catch the swift-moving motorist. These two men got the goods on the law-breaker, and Judge Cox finished the job. These two boys, Ballard and Davenport, worked together for a couple of years. Then Davenport quit speed-chasing and took to shipbuilding. After that he was a plumber. Ballard, however, remained antride his trusty bike, and many a famous man and lordly highbrow fell beneath his spell. Something like a year ago, Ballard and Davenport got interested in farming propositions at Cullacan, Sinaloa, Mexico. Deputy County Surveyor W. R. Hillyard knew of the country down there and himself had acquired a neat 300-acre piece of "just as good ground as ever lay out of doors." Ballard and Davenport heard about this place where Hillyard had a toe-hold on the Mexican republic. They heard that tomatoes were being marketed from there before people in the U.S. could set out the plants. They heard that hogs and steers grow fat down there, and corn rustles in the breeze. And so they got some of the land, located about 20 miles from Cullacan. For awhile they lived in Hillary's house, then built houses of their own. Thing were moving along well for the land harrows when along came an enterprise doubly certain. "I understand that plans for financing the project are now under development. I believe financiers of So. Calif. have submitted a tentative proposition for the financing of the project. Institution of a line operated co-operatively by grower organizations would be a big step in progress and I believe farmers are ready to give their financial and moral support to the movement." "I believe in Orange-co's harbor at Newport bay. I would like to see the harbor made the home port of a part of the fleet—that is, for the smaller vessels, and it is to be regretted that the port is not available to the larger craft that will be employed in the shipping if the line is established. "A pre-cooling plant will be one of the essentials necessary to shipment of fruits by water. It will be necessary for the oranges in particular. The plant will have to be located at a port where it will be available to the larger as well as the smaller vessels. That feature probably will operate against Newport harbor. It might be that the smaller vessels could be loaded at Newport in cases where pre-cooling is not necessary." “If the line is established, a pre-cooling plant built and a harbor other than Newport selected as the home port-it will be but another opportunity lost to the county by failure of the people of this county to realize the possibility of the harbor and putting money enough into it to make it available to all kinds of ocean boats.” Three carloads of Villa Park lemons will go forward by water this week. They will go on different boats which are scheduled to leave San Pedro for Boston, New York and Philadelphia. It was reported today that members of the Newport Harbor Yacht club are developing a plan for taking a consignment of Orange-co fruit out of Newport harbor April 15. It is said to be the plan to secure a small boat for loading at the port, with club craft towing the ship to San Pedro, where the fruit will be transferred to a larger boat. The report could not be confirmed today. Water Co. Minutes WATER CO MIN—BX HD Secretary instructed to request quit claim deed from F. A. Gillespie. Moved company abandon open cement ditch on N.

They heard that tomatoes were being marketed from there before people in the U.S. could set out the plants. They heard that hogs and steers grow fat down there, and corn rustles in the breeze. And so they got some of the land located about 20 miles from Cullican. For awhile they lived in Hillyard's house, then built houses of their own. Thing were moving along well for the land barons when along came an event that upset their dignity. There was a little gathering of American neighbors one evening. They were talking about Santa Ana, and the hill climb at San Juan Capistrano, and whether or not Mary Pickford got by as well as she used to, and Sam Jernigan and—just then the front door opened. Half a dozen hombres, armed to the teeth, rushed into the room. Every desperado had a gun or two, and every gun looked bigger than any "gat" the two ex-deputy sheriffs had ever taken off of a boosing Mexican within the peaceful domain of Orange-co. Ballard, Davenport and the rest of the neighbors, including wives of those who were married, didn't need to know much of the Spanish language to get what was said to them. Their hands went up. There wasn't a chance to do anything else about it. The visiting party did its work well. Money, watches, the women's bracelets, stickpins, the men's revolvers and belts of ammunition and everything else in sight that the bandits cared to carry away were gathered in. The visitors departed into the night. They carried with them property worth between $800 and $1000. Hillyard will leave Saturday night for his ranch at Calliacan. Doubtless he will hear from Ballard and Davenport full details of the reception to which uninvited guests came. Hillyard expects to make arrangements for clearing some more of his land of brush. He has about 90 acres cleared now. He is planning to put in a pumping plant soon, and to raise winter vegetables for the American markets. His land lies along a river, and a lift of 25 feet will give him gravity water for his entire 300 acres. Moved company replace open cement ditch on N. Olive-st between Wilhelmina and North-sts.
