Thousands of Ducks at Big Bear Lake Now “There are thousands of ducks at Big Bear Lake now,” reports Paul Frahm, who has just returned from a four-day visit to his mountain cabin. “The hunting is fine. Baldwin Lake is frozen over, with about two inches of ice on it, and all the ducks are on Big Bear. They are all canvasbacks. In one limit I shot, there was only one small duck. “The road is good by the desert route, the other roads being closed. Anyone planning the trip should leave before it snows, as Big Bear will freeze over then. It certainly was cold up there while the windstorm was blowing down here. However, after that, each day when the sun came out, it was mighty fine.” Frahm was accompanied by his brother, Louis Frahm, John Mohl, Henry McGregor and Gus Manske.

However, it was considered that traffic might be impeded with pipe strung all over town and the material will be shipped by train. The pipe will greatly increase water pressure for fire protection.

Bids for the improvement will be called for shortly. Fire Chief Dean Hassen appeared as an emissary from the fire department with request for appointment of fire marshal's powers to someone to enforce cleaning up of debris, particularly in the business district.

There were about 320 growers present when the morning program opened. It was starting and only two speakers were presented before noon. Dr. W. P. Kelley, chemist of the state citrus experiment station, J. T. Barrett, director at the same Kelly, speaking on fertilizing problems, devoted his time to nitrogenous and organic fertilizer. He told of the action of the fertilizer on various varieties of earth and the rate of their nitrification. Kelley has recently completed a series of tests extending over the period of a year to determine the discrepancies between laboratory and actual field investigations. "Armillaria, known as oak root fungus, or mushroom root rot, its symptoms and methods of cure," was the substance of Dr. Barrett's address. He said that the rot is cosmopolitan in its extent, being known in Europe and in this country where its ravages are confined principally to the Pacific coast.

AIN DEAL READING NEWSPAPER OF NORTHERN ORANGE COUNTY Anaheim, California, Friday, December 9, 1921 GIRL MYS PLAN $250000 ADDITION TO SUGAR CO. Steffens Plant, to greatly increase Production, announced by Supt. A Steffens plant, to cost approximately a quarter of a million dollars, is contemplated by the Anaheim Sugar Company as soon as sugar prices are established at sufficiently higher levels to warrant the extension.

Entrance was gained thru a rear door, the burglar first breaking into an oil-house at the rear. There he procured an augure and using it to bore holes in the door to the hardware store, reached his hand in, turned the lock and shifted the bar.

Hey, Kids, St. Nick's in Town, Phone 650 Willie, Susie, Freddie, Carrie — Santa Claus is in town! Fact! We saw him ourselves. But you can't see him yet.

Among those from Anaheim attending were Mr. and Mrs. W. H. Drake. It was a truly society affair, almost all the participants being in formal evening dress, and the object was to raise a generous fund for Christmas philanthropy. An excellent orchestra furnished the music for dancing, and in an adjoining room were several tables for cards. A real live Santa Claus made his appearance late in the evening, and distributed presents to the more prominent members, the gifts being burllesque kind. The large ball room was decorated with flags. A program of several numbers was a pleasing feature, among them being a solo by Mrs. F. W. Slalaugh, and another by Robert Brown. Altogether it was an elaborate and impressive event, left behind him, writing a note and leaving countless fingerprints, broke into the Nelson Hardware store at Buena Park last night. Entrance was gained thru a rear door, the burglar first breaking into an oil-house at the rear. There he procured an augure and using it to bore holes in the door to the hardware store, reached his hand in, turned the lock and shifted the bar. His only loot was $1.50 taken from the cash register. He emade an attempt to break open the safe in the office, using two heavy picks for this purpose. Falling to swing open the steel dor, he apparently in disgust left on the top of the safe a note which read: "Better luck next time.—R. B." He didn't touch any of the stock, including a large Xmas display of watches, outlery, etc. Residents in the neighborhood of the store building believe the burglary occurred about 4 a.m. as they heard dogs barking at that hour. It is believed to have been the job of someone residing in the vicinity, as thoro familiarity with the store was indicated. It was pointed out that few would have known about the augur hanging in the oil house. The note was written very legibly and it is not believed to have been the work of a Mexican.

TWENTY-SIXTH YEAR YSTERY VICTIM MAY HAVE USED DIFFERENT NAME HERE Leona or Grace Mayfield or Mansfield, the girl whom George Christman, former automobile mechanic here confessed to have murdered in New York, was not known in Anaheim under either of the last names given, although she may have been the girl named Grace who worked in a local restaurant. A blonde girl answering in general the description given of her, worked at the Dew Drop Inn for a few days. She was known as Grace. Neither do the police know of a girl of that name formerly residing here. Chief N. F. Steadman said he never heard of the girl. According to her self-confessed slayer, there was a woman at Brea whom the girl used to converse with over the telephone from here and whom she called mother. Christman left town about July 4, according to the local police, and not early in June. Christman, alias St. Jean, has made an additional confession, as follows: Employer of Slayer Didn't Know of Girl L. S. Irvin, of the Alexander Garage, who knew Christman better than any other man in town, says he knows nothing of any woman named Mayfield, whom Christman said he slew in New York City.

Irvin, of the Alexander Garage, who knew Christman better than any other man in town, says he knows nothing of any woman named Mayfield or Mansfield, whom Christman said he slew in New York City. Irvin employed Christman as a mechanic in his former garage here. With Irvin’s statement the mystery regarding the origin of the girl and her connections with Anahelm and other points is deeper than ever. One explanation of the mystery is that at least part of Christman’s confession is that of an insane man, who has pleced up his past history largely out of imaginative whole cloth. Irvin is positive Christmas is crazy. Irvin insists, also, that Christmas left town the day he took the Paige car from Booth & Heinze, May 30.
