XXV—NO. 124 CURB BR HAUL STOLEN GOODS WITH TRUCK General Merchandise Store of Scott Frampton at Buena Park Entered Sometime between midnight and 6:30 a.m. today, the general merchandise store of Scott Frampton at Buena Park was entered by burglars who hauled away an auto load of merchandise. After backing their car up to the front of the store, the burglars unlocked the grating and climbed the front door. After a check of stock early today, the proprietors reported the following merchandise missing: Six pairs of best dress shoes; one rain-coat valued at $18.50; two dozen boxes of men's best socks; one dozen to box; six sides of bacon; one Swift Premium ham; the entire stock Engineer Tells How Permanently Curb Up to 2:30 this afternoon more than 2500 sandbags of more than 5500 had been laid along the break in the by the forces of bien of the Santa Fe railway and the C-way company's force will be withdrawn tonight, F.of maintenance of way, said this afternoon. About 2000 more bags of sand were expected this afternoon. The current of the river which last night switched to the east side, this afternoon switched back to the west side, but the break had already been curbed. In addition to the sandbags a barrage of cedars will be laid half across the stream at the northern end of the break. Inspector Purdy recommends as a permanent means of protection, piles of creosoted lime or cedar; to be driven into the bank for a distance of a mile or more, extending southward from the bridge. He says this method has been adopted by the Santa Fe at Prado, Esperanza, Serra, near San Juan Capistrano, along the Santa Ana river, and at other points. He says this type of protection will last for about 15 years. Between the piles heavy flammable cloth would have FRUIT ASSOCIATIONS ADD MUCH ACREAGE Local packing house associations covering the Anaheim district already have signed up many hundreds of additional acres of orange groves for the new year, and a large non-taring acreage already signede up. All come into bearink, inquiries today showed. The Anaheim Co-operative Ass'n expects to have 2,000 acres in bearing, an increase, including new acreage, of about 250 acres over this year. The Stewart Fruit Co. has been signing new acreage for several weeks past, and expects to continue adding to its acreage for three months to come. Its increase will amount to several hundred acres, not counting present acreage that will become productive. The Anaheim Citrus Fruit Ass'n will have a few hundred additional acres next year. Manager W. H. Schureman said today. It is somewhat early to estimate that the new acreage will be or how much acreage has been added the past year. The Anaheim Orange & Lemon Ass'n will have about the same acreage, according to Manager G. W. FIGHTS JAPANESE PROTECTION CLAUSE WASHINGTON, Dec. 29.—If Japan does not take herself out of the so-called "protection clause" of the four-power Pacific treaty, the U.S. probably will. In making this declaration today Senator McNary, Republican, of Oregon, announced his intention of proposing a reservation to the treaty which would eliminate the Japanese homeland from Article I of Japan herself does not insist upon such a reservation. "The question of whether the treaty applies to the Japanese homeland or the Japanese possessions in the Pacific ocean is an all-important one," enator McNary said. "It is crucial one—it goes to the heart of the armament conference." NEW ARMS PARLEY IS NOT PROBABLE WASHINGTON, Dec. 29.—Prospects of another limitation of armament conference being called to consolidate the accomplishments of the present conference and possibly to renew attempts at submarine limitation began to fade rapidly today following a visit to the White House by Secretary of State Hughes. The President and Secretary, Hughes held a long conversation over armament conference developments and the failure to limit the submarine and auxiliary craft ratios of big naval powers. Inspector Purdy recommends as a permanent means of protection, piles of creosotipne or cedar; to be driven into the bank for a distance of a mile or more, extending southward from the bridge. He says this method has been adopted by the Santa Fe at Prado, Esperanza, Serra, near San Juan Capistrano, along the Santa Ana river, and at other points. He says this type of protection will last for about 15 years. Between the piles heavy plank are nailed. He would have plank and piles four feet or more below the surface of the ground, and four or five feet above. The object of the barrage of cedar trees extending into the stream, is to divert the current more or less permanently to the east side. At present for about a quarted of a mile south of the gap caused by the river half of the river bed on the west side is now untouched by the current.

FRUIT MEN FAVOR BIG STORAGE DAM Packing house associations in the Anaheim district are strongly in favor of the proposed construction of storage dams in the San Bernardino mountains, along which the Tri-County Reforestation Committee will discuss at Riverside on Jan. 12. Manager G. W. Sandilands of the Anaheim Orange & Lemon Ass'n said that such dams not only would conserve water and prevent floods, but an immense source of power, at present unutilized, and enable growers to greatly curtail irrigation by wells except in periods of drought. The object of such dams would be to catch any overflow, said Sandilands, and the water companies' supply would WATER CO. IS DECLARED UTILITY R. R. Commission Suggests Lawrie Install Meters to Remove Complaints With the receding of the flood waters from their vicinity today, news came to Mexican residents of the Swan tract at the northend of Lemon street that the Railroad commission had declared the water company of W. S. B. Lawrie a public utility. The announcement from the railroad commission follows: "Upon complaint of consumers, the Railroad commission today declared a water company operated, to W. S. B. Lawrie and the Union Trust Company of San Diego and supplying sub-divisions of the city of Anaheim, Orange county, a public utility and ordered that repairs be made to the Request Volunteers at River Tomorrow A call was issued this afternoon from those working in conjunction with the C. of C. flood control committee for volunteer workers to meet at the C. of C. offices on No. Los Angeles-st at 7 a.m. tomorrow. The gang of laborers provided by the Santa Fe railroad today will not be available tomorrow and it is necessary to do considerable more work to insure against a repetition of this week's overflow. Teams are also wanted. Those providing teams are asked to proceed south of Tucker's Grove to the temporary levy. BANKS DECLARING 6 MOS.' DIVIDENDS Semi-annual dividend of 10 per cent on the stock at par value of the First National and the American Savings banks was declared by directors of the two institutions at a meeting this morning. The dividend based on book value amounts to about 7 storage dams in the San Bernardino mountains, along which the Tri-County Foreststation Committee will discuss at Riverside on Jan. 12. Manager G. W. Sandilands of the Anaheim Orange & Lemon Ass'n said that such dams not only would conserve water and prevent floods, but an immense source of power, at present unutilized, and enable growers to greatly curtail irrigation by wells except in periods of drought. The object of such dams would be to catch oxy the overflow, said Sandilands, and the water company's supply would not be cut into. The packing house manager personally inspected the course of the Santa Ana in the mountains, and says there are many natural sites where dams could be built. He deplored the present waste of good irrigation water. Manager W. H. Schureman of the Anaheim Citrus Fruit Ass'n also favors such dams, although not in a position to discuss ways and means. Schureman said that the Pomona district had practically escaped harm, principally by the building of so-called dams in the mountains, along the creeks and rivulets tributary to the Santa Ana, and thus spreading flood waters and enabling them to seep into the ground. H. C. Poor of the Stewart Fruit Company, a new arrival here, declined to discuss the matter in the absence of Manager W. H. Johnston. Manager J. H. Hitchcock of the Anaheim Co-operative Orange Ass'n, thought the plan for storage dams in the mountains was the only one practicable as a permanent protective measure. Ritchie declined to go into the matter of what aid his association could give before the annual meeting of directors in January. W. J. Siemann, president of the First National bank, was gratified today with the success of the temporary control work done at the break in the river and expressed himself as heartily in favor of the community going ahead with something more permanent. Mr. Siemann firmly believes it will be of the utmost advantage to the district if protection that will forestall a repetition of the week's overflow can be accomplished, and the sooner the better. Representatives of the Garden Grove Protection district were in conference with City Manager O. E. Steward today. They were well pleased with the way their dike had stood against the river this week, the first real test since it was constructed in 1917. The Garden Grove dike is two miles long and six feet high, reinforced with piling and wire fencing. About $1500 was spent this week in guarding against incipient breaks, directors said, but this was regarded as mighty cheap insurance, since without it, the entire Garden Grove district would have been flooded. Some difficulty has been experienced in obtaining a growth of willows a place because of the long dry summers. It may be decided to install a water pipe to irrigate the young willows from their vicinity today, news came to Mexican residents of the Swan tract at the northend of Lemont street that the Railroad commission had declared the water company of W. S. B. Lawrie a public utility. The announcement from the railroad commission follows: "Upon complaint of consumers, the Railroad commission today declared a water company operated to W. S. B. Lawrie and the Union Trust Company of San Diego and supplying sub-divisions of the city of Anaheim, Orange county, a public utility and ordered that repairs be made to the system in order to give adequate service. The Commission suggested that the installation of meters will remove practically all causes for complaint and will result in greatly improved service, once the system is put into condition. A basic flat rate of $1.50 for dwellings and monthly rates of $1.50 for the first 500 cubic feet were established. Quantity rates of 25 cents 100' cubic feet from 500 to 1,000 cubic feet and 15 cents a 100 cubic feet for all over 1,000 cubic feet were provided." POSTPONE REALTY MEETING TONIGHT "The real estate men of Anaheim are vitally interested in the Santa Ana river-control project. They are tired of seeing the pictures in the papers showing Anaheim and vicinity infounded with flood waters. Therefore it has been decided to postpone the really board meeting tonight so all can go to the mass meeting at the Grand Theatre," said A. E. Harrove, secretary, today. The reality board meeting will be held tomorrow night at the Chamber of Commerce rooms. The meeting will be a very important one. Dinner at six. Every really dealer and salesman come. Don't fail! Come! A motion was passed at the last meeting to adopt the rate of commission of the Los Angeles board, and this rate will be made known tomorrow night. The constitution and laws will be read. PLAN GREAT COMBINE FOR PACIFIC TRADE SAN FRANCISCO, Dec. 29.-Plans for a $20,000,000 combine to take in all American companies operating in the trans-Pacific trade were outlined yesterday before the Chamber of Commerce by Herbert Fleischacker, president of the Anglo and London Paris National Bank. By the combine no port would compete against another to the detriment of American commerce In the Pacific; all Government owned ships in the Pacific would be under the central control; fifteen passenger liners of the "535" type owned by the Government would be allocated to develop trade with the Orient, India and Australia and private firms would be merged and purchase Gov'terious land. BANKS DECLARING 6 MOS.' DIVIDENDS Semi-annual dividend of 10 per cent on the stock at par value of the First National and the American Savings banks was declared by directors of the two institutions at a meeting this morning.

The Southern County bank will hold its directors' meeting tomorrow. The Anaheim National bank directors do not meet until Jan. 2. BUILDING TWO NEW RIGS AT REDONDO Redondo That the Chamler Canfield Midway thinks well of the Redondo county is evidenced by the fact that two new rigs are being built. The new wells are Redondo No. 1 located 2-4 of a mile west of the discovery well. The discovery well is sweding out and pulling the 8-in preparatory to going deeper. Dominquez No. 1 is at 2557, and drilling in hard shell Dominguez No. 1 is checking out about a hundred feet deeper than the Del Amo. Drilling on the General Petroleum's Petifills No. 1 is now at 800 feet in hard sand. Drilling is going nicely. WATER COMPLETELY SURROUNDS WELLS Hawthorne Water has completely surrounded the wells of the Kitselman company and no work of any kind was done by this company during the past week at Hawthorne. It will be impossible to gain admission to the properties for several days and little new developments can be expected for a week or more. Kitselman is drillin at Playa Del Rey and the log shows 1856 feet. The formation has been running in a mixture of sand and shale. EAGLE ROCK WELL IS DOWN 2750 FEET Los Angeles Field The Beatty Oil Company drilling at Eagle Rock is now down 2750 ft. At this depth the formation is sand and traces of oil is claimed. A fishing job at 4260 halted operations on the Eddystone Oil Corporation's Nurkhart No. 1. As this deep well has not shown any indications of storage dams in the San Bernardino mountains, along which the Tri-County Foreststation Committee will discuss at Riverside on Jan. 12. Manager G. W. Sandilands of the Anaheim Orange & Lemon Ass'n said that such dams not only would conserve water and prevent floods, but an immense source of power, at present unutilized, and enable growers to greatly curtail irrigation by wells except in periods of drought.

first real test since it was constructed in 1917. The Garden Grove dike is two miles long and six feet high, reinforced with piling and wire fencing. About $1500 was spent this week in guarding against incipient breaks, directors said, but this was regarded as mighty cheap insurance, since without it, the entire Garden Grove district would have been flooded. Some difficulty has been experienced in obtaining a growth of willows places because of the long dry summers. It may be decided to install a water pipe to irrigate the young willows until they get a good start. City Manager Steward said it would probably be necessary for Anthem to put up even a stronger dike than has Garden Grove, since the strongest current comes at the bend where the recent break occurred. SAYS HUBBY CAST SPELL OVER HER Hallie Plaskett, Huntington Beach oilman, has been cited to appear in superior court at Santa Ana at 2 p.m. Friday, to show cause why he should not refrain from interfering with his wife, Marguerite Plaskett, who for a second time is suing him for divorce. Several weeks ago she filed her first action for divorce and shortly afterwards disappeared. Her mother charged Plaskett with kidnapping her. The couple was found several days later living together, apparently happily, in Seal Beach. When Plaskett was called into court on the kidnapping charge, his wife clung to his arm and dismissed the divorce action, but separated from him before the day was over. In her second action, the wife claims Plaskett cast a spell over her.
