This Eagle Accepts All Advertising on the Understanding That Its Circulation Equals Any Three Others in The Field
VOL. XXV—NO. 69
POPULATION NOW OVER 8,000!
Population Based on Directory Shows 40% Inc rease in 21 Months
According to the local C. of C., there is every indication that Anaheim's population, as estimated by the Kaason Directory people, will exceed the 8,000 mark. The canvass is ended, and the figures are being compiled, so that no nearer number can now be prophesied, but Mr. Kaason stated last night that the 8,000 mark would be easily reached. The last decennial census, taken as of Jan. 1, 1920, gave Anaheim within her small city boundaries, a population of 5,526.
Within 21 months, a gain is shown if the aforementioned figures may be relied upon, of over 40 per cent. Without having other figures in hand, it is nevertheless pretty safe to venture that this is the greatest growth made since the official census, "by any city in California, and perhaps by any city under 10,000 in the United States. When the restricted municipal bounds of Anaheim are taken into consideration, this growth is nothing short of remarkable.
Anaheim C. of C. has been advertising the city's population as 7,500 or the past several months, and some local folks have from time to time

ANAHEIM INVITED TO LA HABRA FETE
La Habra is going to celebrate Halloween in realistic fashion next Thursday night, Oct. 28th, with a big parade, weird masques in pumpkin and other accepted forms and a general merry-making, which promises to attract county-wide attention and attendance. All Anaheim is invited. Secretary Frager was the speaker at the dinner and meeting of the La Habra Chamber of Commerce, having been invited to sell something of local accomplishments. He placed with La Habraans to do their shopping at
SHOULD BE FIFTH CLASS
“There is no doubt in my mind that we should be classified as a city of the fifth class,” declared N. M. Durkee, of the Tobin & Durkee Realty Co., today. “The fact alone that we will have a board of education of not less than five members seems to me to be a big enough inducement to make the people of Anaheim get behind the movement. Our ducation facilities are among the best in the state and outrank many larger cities than ours.
Also, the election of our public officers is an added inducement that sometimes carries much weight. That it is fairer to elect rather than appoint a majority of our public officers seems to be obvious, and I doubt whether the canvass of the city will show more than a score, if that many, who would not rather have it so.”
Mr. Durkee’s attitude is parallel to that of every man interviewed on the subject to date, and shows strongly that a referendum to place Anaheim in fifth class would be met by a hearty response.
Since the first publication of the proposed movement in the Plain Dealer several days ago, the topic has become chief among the daily discussions of most local business men. There is no doubt that once placed before the people, the referendum would carry by an overwhelming majority.
Although only a few days old, as far as the general public is concerned, the number who are making a diligent study of the differences in the two classifications, and the benefit to be derived from the higher class, is surprisingly large.
Anaheim has been steadily growing in population, and her civic improvements, commercial activities and other progressive movements have been keeping pace with the population, and in some extent exceeding a majority of the small cities of the state. Therefore, one business man declared today, we should not hesitate to move a step further and be recognized as a city of the fifth class.

SLAYER CUTS THROAT; RECOVERY DOUBTFUL
ROSEBURG, Ore., Oct. 21. — Physicians today held in doubt the recovery of Dr. Richard M. Brumfield, convicted murderer, who last night was found unconscious on his cell cot with his throat slashed.
The dentist had been so weakened by the last two weeks of trial that it is doubtful if he will rally from the shock of the wound and the loss of blood.

FEAR FOR LIVES OF FIRE-FIGHTERS & MEN
LOS ANGELES. Oct. 21. — Fearing a force of 15 men who had gone into the heart of the Malibu to fight the furious fires in the Trancas canyon district early yesterday under the direction of Deputy Fire Warden Perry had been cremated by the flames they sought to conquer, 300 men entered the still smouldering sections of forest at daybreak today in the hope that some of the missing men might be found alive.
No word has been received from the small detachment since about 3 o'clock yesterday afternoon.
Prices have increased 10 per cent in Los Angeles, according to information received today, and an increase of 2 per cent has been made in Santa Ana.
"Although we have not raised our prices yet, we will be forced to do so in a few days," Mr. Bowers said today. The raise will not be as large as that in Los Angeles, however, but will be a substantial one. Wholesalers declare an increased building campaign in the cast has brot about the new prices, the demand drawing heavily into the surplus supplies."

STRIKE MAY STOP SUGAR FACTORY
Otherwise, Anaheim Co. Will Operate Thru Nov., Longest in Orange-co
Unless the proposed nation-wide railroad strike materializes, the Anaheim Sugar Factory will continue operations thru November, according to announcement today by D. Jessurun, manager.
Word received from Santa Ana today indicated that the Santa Ana factory's season would end today.
According to Mr. Jessurun, the Anaheim district has produced considerably more sugar beets this year than the Santa Ana district and should the railroad strike fail to come off, the local factory will be able to continue its operations longer than any other in this county.
The Huntington Beach factory will complete its season next Tuesday, while the Los Alamitos plant proposes to operate until the middle of November.
"The crop of beets has been unusually satisfactory this year," Mr. Jessurun said," but the market has been lying practically dormant for several weeks."
Mr. Jessurun also stated that they considered the product of the local factory superior to the northern sugar in many respects and yet sugar
AMERICAN WOMEN ARE WORLD'S BEST DRESSERS
SAYS NEYSA McMEIN
Noted Artist thinks Girls Here Have National Talent For Making Their Own Clothes.
AMERICAN women are endowed with a superlative ability to design and make art clothes for themselves. No says New McMein, for most among women artists.
"American women are admirably the best dressed women in the world." Miss McMein, recently a guest at the exhibition of a new million dollar building for the Women's Institute of Scrubbing.
European women at England and modish in the great cities of England and the Continent. But any reasonable boy can tell you that the French girl of towns and villages is far from restful to the eye.
"The secret, I believe, is the American woman's ability to design and make art clothes for fashion for general speaking, she has a nice appreciation for shoes and color combinations. Consequently she can wear them well."

During the testimony of Mrs. Osgood, both under direct examination of the District Attorney and under the cross examination of Attorney Eddie, the defendant appeared extremely nervous and on the verge of collapse.
Mrs. Osgood related a conversation with the defendant which she said took place several days before the shooting, in which Mrs. Campbell told her, "If I can't have Jesse, no one else is going to have him."
In relating the conversation in connection with the alleged "other woman," Mrs. Osgood stated that the defendant said, "I told Jesse Campbell to return those letters to that girl and to tell her that he was going to blow her brains out. I have bought a gun to kill him with; it is the second gun I have bought to kill him with."
Mrs. Osgood then described the actions of the defendant as she talked with her.
"She laid the gun in her lap and pointed her finger at my heart and said, 'That's where I'm going to shoot Jess Campbell,' she testified. During the cross-examination of Mrs.

FAVORS DANCING IN PUBLIC SCHOOLS
NEW YORK, Oct. 21.—I am decidedly in favor of dancing in the public schools. I said so in the West and I say again. I say it emphatically. I favor dancing in the schools and out of the schools."
Mrs. Martha P. Falconer of the American Social Hygiene association, who headed the work of a section of the war department's commission on training camp activities during the war, made this statement on her return here, when she was shown a letter from a Kansas clergyman denouncing her advocacy of dancing as an effort to introduce "moral poison" into the schools.

Frame of the Texas branch of the Brotherhood of Railroad Trainmen, will be in charge of the strike.
This move is made, according to railroad labor chiefs, to prove to the railroads and to the government that the workers are "not bluffing."
At the same time that the orders were being sent out from labor headquarters to make the Texas strike effective, President Harding was meeting with his cabinet in Washington and laying plans to prevent the strike from becoming general and tying up the transportation facilities of the nation.
There is a very definite feeling here both on the part of the workers and of the officials, that in spite of the fact that yesterday's conference between the federal labor board and the strike heads was a flat failure, the government will not permit the strike to be carried out.
It would seem likely, from developments today, that the courts will be called upon to act and that the full strength of the government will be put behind the enforcement of the ruling on the strike question. It is considered most likely that a conspiracy charge will be brought and ha drastic action will follow.
The chiefs of the "big four" brotherhoods and T. C. Cashion, president of the Switchmen's Union of North America will be cited within the next few days, before the railroad labor board answer at a public hearing to the charge of violating the Cummins-Esch transportation act by calling a strike, according to the present program.
Under the program at present contemplated either the United States labor board itself or some other government agency will seek a restraining order to prevent the strike. The proceedings would test the constitutionality and power of the board.
