Twelve of the 15 directors were present. The secretary was instructed to write to the Secretary Metzgar of the A. C. of C., suggesting the county body take immediate steps to secure the repainting of signs at the boundaries of Orange and Los Angeles-cos and Orange and San Diego and also to ask that overtures be made to the board of supervisors for the installation of proper sign posts on county roads; also that county roads not yet named be given names and these roads also appropriately posted. Mr. Schouboe, campaign manager of the American City Bureau, announced that the membership goal was reached at 11 o'clock this morning and that the total membership in the C. of C. now stands at $52. On motion of Mr. Benjamin, seconded by Mr. Ross, unanimous thanks were voted to all workers in the late campaign. Mr. Porter, Maguder, field secretary of the A. C. B., appeared before the board and laid out a plan of installation of the expanded organization which was unanimously adopted. This plan includes the incorporation of the Anaheim C. of C. as a non-profit organization under the laws of California and provides for primary and final election of a board of directors of 12 from which the executive officers will be selected by vote at a later date. The board requested the secretary to issue notices for a meeting at a clock Monday night, July 11, at the Anaheim Union High School auditorium at which a set of laws, suitable to the enlarged plan of organization, shall be considered and adopted. The installation columns also include the division of the membership into group meetings, at which intimate touch will be gained with each member and the influence of all members gathered as to the most essential features if the work to be carried out, during the coming year to be financed by the service fund recently subscribed. This is the most democratic manner of reaching the desires of all members in regard to civic work and also have a great advantage of bringing out every possible phase of work which can be done. The secretary stated that committees of the C. of C. and Kiwanis club will actively engage in the spreading of all possible publicity concerning Anaheim municipal bond election to be held July 19th for the purpose of building a new city hall and extending various public services to keep it announced at headquarters that the first general meeting of the membership will be held next Monday evening when new constitution and by-laws will be presented and adopted by the members. Immediately following this an election for a board of directors will be held. The primary ballots will be mailed on Tuesday and counted on Friday. The final ballots will be mailed on Saturday and counted on the following Tuesday. In the meantime the members will be called together in groups to discuss what the C. of C. should undertake for the following year. From the suggestions made at these group meetings a definite program of work will be built. The teams responsible for putting over the membership today, together with the number of members secured by each, are as follows: Major Adams Division—Schmelzer 4, Falkenstein 2, Barnes 1, Wallop 5, Stern 3, total 19. Major Eygabroad's Division—Ross 2, Gibbs 7, Gelsinger 4, total 13. GIRL, WEIGHT 300, IN SANTA ANA JAIL Miss Theresa McNamee, of Los Angeles, was arranged in justice court at Santa Ana today on the charge of forging a $5 check. Proliminary hearing was set for 2 p.m., Aug. 8, and bail fixed at $500 in default of which she went to jail. Miss McNamee, who looks to be 22, weighs 300 pounds. She says she is a cashier but hasn't been working for three months, living upon funds supplied by her mother. She is accused of forging the name of P. D. Leveridge, manager of the Rossmore hotel, Santa Ana, and attempting to cash it at the Thurmer Shoe store there. The shoe store clerk, suspiciously called, Leveridge, who denied he had written any such check. Miss McNamee says she stopped at the hotel one night and didn't have money for the bill, offering as security to the hotel clerk jewelry worth more than what she owed. She said the clerk gave her the check for $5 to cover the difference. H. D. Connell swore to the complaint. SANTA ANA TO HAVE NEW PAPER—MAYBE (The Santa Ana Register) Much interest has been aroused by persistent reports that Santa Ana is to have a new evening newspaper—or, more correctly speaking, that Los Angeles is to have a newspaper in Santa Ana—that a paper is to be published here by the Los Angeles Evening Express to serve as a car-Her for that paper.

The publisher of the Express, F. W. Kellogg, was in Santa Ana yesterday, presumably in the interest of his plan, purpose, intention or desire to gain a foothold here for the Express. Some three years ago Mr. Kellogg and E. W. Dickson took over the Express from the estate of the late Edwin T. Earl, on a lease, with option to purchase within five years. At that time Mr. Kellogg announced in a published interview that he intended to establish local papers in all the principal towns of Southern California which he would give away with the Express, or with which he would give away the Express, that is, both papers would be sold at the price of one. In carrying out this plan, he established the Pasadena Post, purchased the Anaheim Herald and made contract with one or two other papers for the circulation of the Express. At various times during the past three years persistent and apparently well founded rumors have been affloated that the Express would get busy in Santa Ana "within thirty days," or by such and such a time. The latest of these rumors came about two months ago, to the effect that a building had been leased, a press bought, and the Santa Ana edition of the Los Angeles Express would be started "within 30 days." About that time, E. J. Horsley, connected with Mr. Kellogg's Anaheim paper, was observed (to have a great deal of business in Santa Ana). And just before this latest rumor started, representatives of Mr. Kellogg called upon Secretary Metzgar of the M. and M. and C. of C., to make inquiries as to the attitude of the business men of Santa Ana and as to the public sentiment generally with regard to "a new paper for Santa Ana." All of which has led to the conclusion (Continued on Page Two).

Orange County Plain Dale LEADING NEWSPAPER OF NORTHERN ORANGE COUNTY Anaheim, California, Friday, July 8, 1921 Wiggins, Newlywed, at Hostelry in Santa Ana The county seat of Orange-co has long been recognized as a Gretna Green by the young and romantic. But, then, Frank Wiggins, 71, who has been secretary of the Los Angeles C. of C. for a quarter of a century, is still a live-wire and romantic. Wiggins and his bride, Miss Anne Ballie, 54, his secretary for 14 years, left Los Angeles flat on its back yesterday afternoon and motored to Santa Ana like any other young couple might. There they obtained a license and were wedded by Rev. C. J. K. Jones, Orange, longtime friend of the L.A. booster. From that point on the Los Angeles morning newspapers lost rack of them. However, the trail was picked up again this morning when the happy young couple was located in St. Ann's Inn, Santa Ana. The happy couple is enjoying a rapturous honey-moon, and will remain several days at the Santa Ana hostelry. BAND CONCERT AND DANCE BIG AFFAIR; WANTA DO IT AGAIN Record Crowd at Double Entertainment Provided by Anaheim Municipal Band Does Anaheim appreciate its new GRIBLING AND REFUSES HANDCAR INJURES MEXICAN YOUTH, 9, WATCHING CATTLE Stanton Boy in County Hospital with Cuts and Bruises all over Body Ramon Zumiga, nine-year old Mexican, was confined in the county hospital today with serious injuries sustained when he was struck by a P.E. handcar at Stanton about 5 p.m. Thursday. According to Dr. H. E. Zaiser, the boy has cuts and bruises all over his body. No bones were broken. Zumiga was herding cattle along the P.E. right of way when he reclined on the track and fell asleep. The handcar did not run over him but dragged him along the track for several feet. There were four men on the handcar but none saw the boy before he was struck. All were operating the handcar.

It does. That was amply demonstrated last night at the "initiation" by the first of a series of weekly concerts, followed by a free street dance. The attendance at the double event far exceeded the fondest expectations of city officials and prompted the suggestion today that such combination be made a regular feature during the summer band concert season. That is, that each concert be followed by an hour's free street dancing. That such would prove very popular goes without question. Officials were considering the proposition today. At the expiration of the concert from 5 to 9 last night the dancing was staged on the pavement on Lemon-st which had been roped off for the hour. The only bad luck of the evening was that City Manager O. E. Steward, of whom none can say he shakes a wicked hoof, hadn't provided enough corn meal. He was readily excused because his experience has been confined considerably to teaching of Sunday school classes and not at all to shimmy. His ten pounds of corn meal didn't go very far despite the fact that the modern shimmy dance doesn't necessarily cover such an awful lot of ground, the up-and-down movement providing the exhilaration. "I should have had at least 50 pounds of corn meal. I didn't have any idea it required so much," was the city manager's pardonable excuse. $5000 DAMAGE BY SANTA ANA BLAZE Fire originating at 2:45 a.m. today at the Finch ranch on No. Mainst. Santa Ana, caused $5000 damage to garage, barn and contents. The loss included a Nash auto valued at $1000, motorcycle $100, bicycle and several farm implements in the garage. Five horses and one cow were rescued with difficulty, the last animal being removed just as the barn roof caved in. The blaze started in the garage, presumably from spontaneous combustion, and was detected by a passing motorists who aroused the sleeping members of the Finch family who include four brothers and one sustained when he was struck by a P. E. handcar at Stanton about 5 p.m. Thursday. According to Dr. H. E. Zaiser, the boy has cuts and bruises all over his body. No bones were broken. Zumiga was herding cattle along the P. E. right of way when he reclined on the track and fell asleep. The handcar did not run over him but dragged him along the track for several feet. There were four men on the hand-car but none saw the boy before he was struck. All were operating the handcar lever and had their faces toward the floor of the car. Nearly all the boy's clothing was stripped from his body. He was lacerated from his head to his feet and unconscious when brot to the county hospital. SANTA ANA C. OF C. WILL INCORPORATE Rev. G. A. Stierle, of Santa Ana, will fill the pulpit of Salem Evangelical church here Sunday morning while the pastor, Rev. F. H.

PASTOR PREACHES SUNDAY Dr. Thomas Holmes Walker, new pastor of the Presbyterian church, was an Anaheim visitor yesterday, getting acquainted with members of his congregation. He will fill the pulpit as pastor for the first time Sunday morning and next week will regularly resume his pastoral duties. Dr. Walker is a former associate of Dr. J. A. Geissinger, of the Methodist White Temple. Both formerly held pastorates in Boyle Heights, Los Angeles. They talked over old times yesterday. Work will start within two weeks on a modern, two-story, Colonial style manse for the Presbyterian minister. It will be located on the south side of Broadway between Claudina and Philadelphia-sts. The entire cost of the improvement will be assured before work begins. STEGMAN RESIGNS; BREA HAS NO CHIEF Brea was suffering the unique experience today of having no chef of police or city marshal.

DISPLAY OF SEPTIC TANKS IS PLANNED DISTRICT SHORTLY County Engineer McBride Drawing Plans and Specifications to be Adopted Next Week Before the snow files back east, Anaheim may have a new paved art-ery from the Richfield district. County Engineer J. L. McBride is drawing plans and specifications for an asphalt-concrete road with five inch base, an extension of North-st for three miles from Placentia-ave to a point 3-4 miles south of Richfield station. It is probable the plans will be adopted next Tuesday. Advertising would require a month or more before work actually started. A special assessment district known as road improvement district No. 7 has been formed. DELAYED FIREWORKS BURNS HENRY JOHN Master Henry, nine-year old son of Mr. and Mrs. C. R. John, is recovering from burns, which too severe, will leave no serious effects. In cleaning up after his July 4th fireworks, he collected a small quantity of powder from firecrackers and placed it in a pan, touching a match to it. The blaze shot up over his left cheek and forehead, burning both, and his nose and a portion of the right cheek. Physicians today removed some of the bandages, although some will be worn a few days longer. The little chap and his parents are most thankful that his eyes escaped injury.

OFFICE AT CROWN STATION The new Anaheim Building and Loan Assn., of which Mayor William Stark is president, is erecting offices in the Crown Stage building on W. Center-st. Work was begun this afternoon. PRUNES TOMATOES, TIES 'EM TO STICKS Firm in his belief that the best way to get results in growing tomatoes is to prune the vines heavily and train them on sticks in long rows. E. V. Anderson, vegetable growers and peddlers, of 1107 Highland, is this year counting on heavy production of tomatoes. Last year Anderson set out 155 plants, and sold 2300 pounds of tomatoes from them, bringing him $125. He got 20 cents a pound for his earliest tomatoes last year, and this year 15 cents. There is no loss by rotting, as is often the case when tomatoes are grown on the ground. Anderson's tomatoes look like long hedgerows, trimmed so that they are not much over a foot through. Anderson has what he considers to be an acre of ground. From his own gardens and trees on the place last year he sold $550 worth of produce. This year he says the total will reach $800. KANSAS CITY FOLKS BUY ORANGE GROVE The C. B. Berger Co. has sold the B. Y. McNairy grove situated three miles southwest of Anaheim to L. A. Keys of Kansas City, Mo.

Their friends brought them in to see Mr. Berger, and they bought the first and only grove he showed them. After a short trip to Kansas City to close up some business affairs, they will return and make Orange-co, their future home.

He hunted up George Ross, of the Orange-co Realty Co., looked over the planning mill proposition and wired ASK FOR NEW PLANS ON ZION LUTHERAN At a meeting of the building committee of Zion Lutheran church it was decided to reject all bids for a new office and call for new estimates on remodeled plans, Rev H. G. Schmelzer, pastor, announced today. "The architect is already at work to limit the expense," said the pastor. "With the building costing $44,000 according to the first plans, and furnishings likely to reach $55,000, we felt this was more than we could consider." "We will follow the original plans just as closely as possible. Perhaps the roominess will be the same too it may be necessary to eliminate the full basement and adopt a cheaper building material than brick as first proposed." "We want to confine the building cost to $25,000, if possible." BREA EDITOR DIES; SICK SHORT TIME William C.
