This Paper Accepts All Advertising on the Understanding that Its Circulation Equals Any Three Others in The Field VOL. XXV—No. 53 RAINS OVER INCH THRU COUNTY No Damage Done If Storm Is Ended and Sunshine Will Again Appear Orange-co's rainfall, for the storm which started gently early yesterday and continued persistently until early today, was general from the north to the south. Anaheim sugar factory reports 1.16 inches, Max Nebelung, 95. No damage has been done if the storm is now terminated. Should the pre-seasonal ablutions continue extensively, walnuts and lima beans would be badly damaged, while sugar factories would face the expensive proposition of a close-down should the fields get so soft it would be impossible to get out the beets. Also, a lot of rain would start beets to growing again, injuring their sugar content. Outside of the Anaheim factory, the campaign ends in 15 to 20 days. All black-eyed beans in the county have been threshed. About half the limas, those raised in dry land, are in the warehouse, including practically all the San Joaquin ranch. Threshing was underway in the lowland when the rain started. About 50 percent of the lima crop of the county is exposed to the rain. The rain coming yesterday, the last day of the month, continued the Orange-co Rainfall Record for Storm Anabelin— Max Nebelung .93 Sugar Factory 1.16 Placentia 1.35 Fullerton 1.18 La Habra 1.51 Santa Ana— Hill & Son .77 Government .95 Huntington Beach 1.20 Talbert .80 Dyer .77 Orange .85 McPherson 1.14 Olive 1.25 Irvine— Home ranch .93 Warehouse 1.00 Old ranch .77 Markel-rd camp .87 Hog ranch .85 Limestone canyon 1.39 COUNTY TAX TOTAL NEARLY $4,000,000 Orange-co's tax roll will soon start rolling in—nearly four million dollars strong.

R. ROUTE From phone messages prompted by yesterday's story that the Union Pacific would probably run the second of two extensions announced for Orange-co, east from the proposed main line at La Habra to a point Yorba Linda, thence to Olive, El Modena and Tustin, it seems this surmise has some basis of fact. Since the story appeared, ranchers have phoned that surveyors were recently observed working along the line indicated. The Union Pacific engineering crew entered the county about three weeks ago, completing their work about ten days ago. The main line will run from Whittier, thru La Habra, Fullerton, Anaheim and Orange to Santa Ana. The railroad commission announced the Union Pacific had applied for permits to construct two lines into Orange-co., one 14 miles from Whittier to Santa Ana, and the other 22 miles from Whittier to Tustin. The application stated between $1,500,000 and $2,000,000 would be expended. HUSBAND HELD WIFE PRISONER FOR YEARS SACRAMENTO, Oct. 1.—For nine years Mrs. C.

This is an increase of nearly half a million dollars over last year's tax total, which was $3,347,956.96. A maternal increase in the number of Orange-co property owners is likewise noted on this year's assessment rolls, which show in the neighborhood of 2000 new assessments.

Love, Brea Oilman, Sentenced for Assault On School Teacher Irvine C. Love, Brea oilworker, was sentenced to 15 days in the county jail today by Justice Cox at Santa Ana on a battery charge preferred by Principal W. E. Fanning of the Brea schools. The charge grew out of an alleged assault on Fanning by Love after the teacher had punished Love's son, one of Fanning's pupils. At pronouncing of sentence, Love protested vigorously to the court that the 15 days in jail would prove a great hardship on his wife and four children, as it would probably mean the loss of his job and also of the house he is buying on payments. This brought the response from Judge Cox that while he regretted the predicament in which Love himself "teachers and society in general must be protected, and teachers must maintain discipline. If my father had whipped every teacher who whipped me when I was a boy, there wouldn't have been a teacher left in the state. TUSTIN EXHIBIT AT COUNTY FAIR ORANGE SHOW BRAND OF WEATHER HITS FAIR HARD The "wets" have it and the County Fair, which was built up on a scale about twice as large as last year's undertaking, was a mass of mush, at 10 o'clock last night, with a few optimistic joy seekers under dripping umbrellas, wading through the lagoon-like vistas of the carnival zone.

They encountered a washout in the desert between Yuma and Nilands, and their train was forced to lay over there eight hours yesterday. He declares So. Calif. looks splendid to him now. Style Model Dresses Like College Boy One of the models of Prairie dawn fashion sho wiis still being talked about from the fact that her was an unusual part in that she represented a college boy, and from the flanner in which she interpreted her parsley She was Miss June Day, winner of any first prizes in southland bath and fashion events. Owing to the fact that a colli is a difficult roll as a rule for someone to impersonate, Miss June's past performances in this work caused Miss Pathe, conductor of the show, to obtain her specifically for this purpose. The attractive white sweater, trousers and cap worn were loaned by Mr. Jackson, of Jackson Men's Wear Shop, and from the exceptionally fine cut of the apparel is largely responsible for the fact that Miss Day was able to carry on the part so well. BUILDING BOOM IS ORANGE SHOW BRAND OF WEATHER HITS FAIR HARD The "wets" have it and the County Fair, which was built up on a scale about twice as large as last year's undertaking, was a mass of mush, at 10 o'clock last night, with a few optimistic joy seekers under dripping umbrellas, wading through the lagoon-like vistas of the carnival zone. It was a repetition of the Anaheim brand of Orange Show weather. The pessimistics are saying that it is only necessary to flaunt some old canvass in Orange county to get Jupiter Pluvius goat. The oil painting of Orange county which centered the Anaheim exhibit, was tricking with tiny cascades of rain water during the day. The local exhibit happened to get under an especially rotten old piece of canvas which let the moisture down in sharp spurs like that from a needle shooter. When Mr. Gresswell captured the prize relies from the judge's table, he and his assistant, the local secretary, had to wring out the prize ribbons with a consequent loss of dye and obliteration of the gilt letters signifying the classification. Unless the Fair committee has an extra supply of ribbons there will be a few trophies shown during next year from the 1921 Orange County Fair. Attempt will be made to have all ribbons duplicated if the supply is available. A very fine late Valencia exhibit of E. F. Bell took a blue ribbon, as also did lemons from the grove of J. B. Eaton, who won blues on Green and Silver exhibits. The Green and Silver Eureka lemons are entered by him. The Salway peaches entered by B. P. Porter won a blue ribbon, as they did in 1920. These are the most beautiful peaches at the Fair and many are inquiring for shoots to graft with other varieties. This is a very fine stone peach of large size, and delicate texture with beautiful coloring and exquisite flavor. A full list of the prizes won in the Anaheim exhibit will be published Monday. Attendance at the Fair was large in spite of the rain. It seems probable that today's crowd will commensate, in a small way, for the really unusual weather with which the splendid Exposition of Orange county's products have had to contend. Each farming section of the county has put on a more comprehensive exhibition this year than ever before. There was a first class attendance from Los Angeles, one automobile dealer having sold a Hollywood man a very high price car. The concessionaires all appeared to be well satisfied with the business this show has attracted, and nearly every one of them is looking forward to taking space in the Second Annual California Valencia Show, next May.

DORAN HURLS CHARGE OF HATE AT WOOLWINE PROBE Aide Declares Probe Inspired by Most Bitter Enemies of Los Angeles Prosecutor. LOS ANGELES, Oct. 1.—Assertions that the county grand jury's charges of extravagance and inefficiency against Dist. Atty. Thomas Lee Woolwine were "inspired by hatred and malice at the expense of the public welfare," and that they were based on testimony given by Woolwine's "most vicious enemies," were made today in a sizzling statement issued by Chief Deputy Dist. Atty. W. C. Doran. Doran characterized the grand jury's public offices committee, which investigated Woolwine's office, and drafted the charges against the district attorney, as without legal existence, not possessed of legal power to administer an oath, and "destitute of legal standing." He declared that the jury's report contained no charge of dishonesty, corruption or breach of public faith, and itemized the witnesses before the jury as Woolwine's bitter enemies.
