COUNTY FAIR OPENS WITH Miss Loretta Schaller, visitor to Orange county from about to devour one of Costa Mesa's prize apples. These appear beautiful annual display at the Orange County Fair at Beach. Last year's fair grounds, in the heart of the business district, is now occupied by substantial brick blocks, since the advent of oil, and this year's Fair will be held on the old school grounds two blocks farther out, between Fifth and Sixth-stairs, and one block from Main-street to the city. The entrance to the grounds is at Fifth street and Orange avenue. Inside a canyass enclosure are the numerous concessions, merry-go-round, ferris wheel, etc., and turning to the left one finds himself between the two main exhibit tents, each 100 feet by 220 feet, with an inviting entrance to the right and left. Both of these tents are connected with the automobile tent, 40 ft. wide and 300 ft. long, which occupies a splendid position on Sixth street, a level, paved thoroughfare, and from the auto tent in one direction or the amusement tent in the other. There are five tents in all, only two of which can be accommodated on the city block, two tents are set in the streets, and one—the poultry tent—in a vacant lot beyond. This is congested condition which has resulted from the discovery of oil here a year ago. Tomorrow morning the festivities start and from then until Saturday night the Fair grounds will be visited by many thousands of people. The event has been well advertised throughout the county, by the Auto Club of So. Calif., and the P. E. Ry., and it is confidently anticipated the attendance will pass 30,000. Twelve thousand free tickets to Orange-co-school children, good on Friday, School Children's Day, have been given away.

While according, after considerable discussion, to the position of the district superintendent that he could not entertain the motion without striking out the ten-year clause that part of its resolution was withdrawn, all present wanted it made clear such was their sentiment. It was found that the district superintendent realized the fact that Dr. Geissinger is near future limbor for the office of bishop and it would be unwise to make further attempt to consummate any longer time contract for Anaheim.

They obtained help from Pine Crest and the rescue party climbed to the ledge and tied a rope about Miss McAllister and lowered her 100 feet to the road. In the rescue party were John Bayliss, Dr. Henderson and Charles Campbell of Santa Barbara. The rescuers work rendered doubly difficult for the reason they were forced to carry lanterns.

MUST AMEND FRANCHISE OF GAS CO. City Manager O. E. Steward today sought to confer with City Atty. Ames on the extent of any legal procedure necessary to amend the existing franchise of the So. Cos. Gas Co. to permit installation of gas lights in business houses for emergency use when the electricity goes off as it did Saturday evening in the middle of the busiest shopping season of the week. However, Steward found the city attorney was out of town, attending the convention of the Calif. League of Municipalities at Santa Monica. Steward stated: "The only hope of relief is to amend the franchise extended the gas company in 1906 for a period of 50 years and explicitly denying the right of the company to sell gas for illumination in Anaheim." "When the C. of C. in times past..." Summer Weather C. A. Griggs, who has been for six weeks in Canada where he has large holdings of wheat land, has returned, reporting that the people of Anaheim don't know how lucky they are, that they live in such a fine climate. In Alberta he passed through great snowbanks, and was almost frozen, from the extreme cold. He went from there to British Columbia, thence from Vancouver eastward over the Canadian Rockies to Saskatchewan. There are 25 bushels of wheat to an acre being harvested there this year. He states that Anaheim is well advertised everywhere throughout the east by reason of the Orange Show. He said that when people would ask him where he was from and he would answer "Anaheim," they would reply "Anaheim? Oh, yes, that's some town. That's where the President opened a fair by long distance telephone." "There is nothing else in the world that could have given Anaheim more favorable publicity than the Orange Show," Mr. Griggs said. ANAHEIM GLORIANA SELLS FOR $8.25 On the New York auction yesterday, Anaheim Gloriana, packed by the Anaheim Orange & Lemon Assn, sold for $8.25, and Delicia, the Sunkist grade packed by this house, brot $7.

While no records are available, Sandilands believes yesterday was the hottest day, locally at least, for September, in several years. ITALIAN DEPUTY SHOT DURING RIOT MILAN, Sept. 27.—Troops fired upon an angry crowd of demonstrating Fascists, conservatives, at Mondeau, killing five and wounding 25 others, dispatches from that city stated today. Among the wounded was a deputy of the Italian parliament named Vicini. The strike called by the Solcalists on account of the attack by the Fascist is general throughout all Apulia. Deputy de Vagno, the Italian parliamentarian who was wounded by a bomb in disorders near Bari, died during the night. The situation continues serious. ALLEGED FUGITIVE However, Steward found the city attorney was out of town, attending the convention of the Calif. League of Municipalities at Santa Monica. Steward stated: "The only hope of relief is to amend the franchise extended the gas company in 1906 for a period of 50 years and explicitly denying the right of the company to sell gas for illumination in Anaheim. "When the C. of C. in times past has attempted to get relief for business men on this score, efforts have failed when they bumped into this franchise provision. Just how difficult it would be to arrange an amendment or stipulation to the franchise I cannot state, nor what position the council would take in the matter. It seems to me the thing to do would be for business men to lay their request before council. Business men were more insistent than ever today that council do something to bring about the desired relief. They insist there must be some way to amend a franchise which the city itself has granted. If business men can pipe gas into his store for heat, why can't he have a couple of gas lights to be used in an emergency when the electricity goes off as it does frequently," was the way one business man put it today. "The present city council had nothing to do with the drafting of the gas company franchise back in 1906 when it was desired to protect Anaheim's municipal electric light plant. There is no such municipal project now. "Certainly there is no need of protecting the So. Cal. Edison Co. Anyway, it shouldn't be considered from that viewpoint, as the gas lights are desired only for temporary use in the event of an emergency." "The council that drafted the gas ordinance is the same one that did some other high-handed things. For instance, I once had a line direct from the Edison into my place. It was hooked to a motor on my coffee grinder. Once when the municipal electricity was off, I put some lights temporarily on the Edison line. The then council, keenly zealous of business for the municipal plant, informed me if used the Edison power line for lighting again, I would be deprived of my city service." RETURN FROM TRIP TO MEXICAN MINES J. L. Shepard, L. A. Evans and August Plepenbrink returned yesterday from a 23-day trip to Shepard's extensive mining interests in Mexico. Shepard reports conditions much more favorable for mining operations. He was much interested today in morning newspaper reports that the supreme court of Mexico had handed down a decision that article 23 of the Mexican constitution had not been intended as retrospective and should not be so considered. This, Shepard believes, will go a long way toward permitting development work below the border. GRATEFUL FOR AID WHEN HOUSE BURNS Dr. and Mrs. C. E. Wilkinson today expressed their thanks for the assistance given them when their home caught on fire Sunday they issued the following statement: "We wish to thank our neighbors and friends who helped save our home from fire, Sunday afternoon, especially the fire department, who through promptness and care saved the home from fire and the house and furniture from injury by water. MR. AND MRS. C. E. WILKINSON. BANDITS HALT CAR ON SEAL BEACH RD Slowing down for a curve on the highway near Seal Beach, O.
