THURSDAY, FEBUARY 9, 1922 THE ORANGE SAYS GAS EQUAL TO COLD SPELL NEEDS "Orange-co received 100 per cent gas service during the recent record-breaking cold period," declared J. C. Hayden, district superintendent of the So. Co.'s Gas Co., today in discussing the recent increase in gas consumption in Orange-co. "The So. Co's Gas Co. weathered one of the coldest periods experienced in So. Calif. by serving a steady, even supply of gas," continued Hayden. "While thousands of other So. Calif. gas consumers were unable to cook breakfast or warm their homes during the recent cold snap, our consumers enjoyed good gas service." Hayden also quoted some interesting figures to show exactly what amounts of gas were consumed here during the recent cold period. He stated that the average daily gas consumption during the month of December, 1920, was approximately 5,500,000 cubic feet. The average daily consumption in December 1921 had jumped to 6,700,000. According to Hayden the peak day of the present season to date as far as gas consumption was concerned was January 19. On this date the gas company pumped through its local transmission and distribution system, 9,788,000 cubic feet of gas, or 78 per cent more gas than was consumed in Orange-co on the average day of December last year. On January 20 the consumption in Orange-co was very heavy, said Hayden, 8,057,000 cubic feet of gas being consumed. January 21 was also a cold day, 7,997,000 cubic feet being the consumption for that date. "We put more gas through our Orange-co transmission and distribution system on Jan. 19 than on any previous day in our history," said Hayden. "To meet this enormous demand for gas consumption we taxed our compression and a transmission system to a great degree. Few consumers who arise on a peak day, turn on the gas and enjoy the same service as on any other day, appreciate just what it means to the gas company to meet one of these tremendous peak days. It means that we must take advantage of every part of our great transmission, distribution" WITH THREE-MONTHS-OLD BABE IN ARRAIGNED FOR FATAL MESA APPLE MEN PLAN BIG DINNER Costa Mesa apple growers today were anticipating with lively interest the dinner and business meeting scheduled at the Costa Mesa church Tuesday, Feb. 14, at 1:30 p.m. According to a statement by H.

"To meet this enormous demand for gas consumption we taxed our compression and a transmission system to a great degree. Few consumers who arise on a peak day, turn on the gas and enjoy the same service as on any other day, appreciate just what it means to the gas company to meet one of these tremendous peak days. It means that we must take advantage of every part of our great transmission, distribution and compression system in Orange-co. It means that the gas man must be on the job every minute of the day's 24 hours to assure the consumers adequate service. A break in a gas line, compression trouble or some unforeseen accident may cut off the gas supply of a city and to be ready for such emergencies the gas company keeps its men on the job night and day." "I consider it a wonderful thing to be able to keep abreast of the rapidly growing districts of this county which in other parts of So. Calif. some of the public utilities have been unable to do. We constantly plan and install betterments and improvements to our system, knowing that the following year's peak load is to be greater than the last." The So. Co.'s Gas Co. besides serving gas in Orange-co, delivers gas to 43 other cities of So. Cal. including such cities as Long Beach, Santa Monica, Venice, Pomona, Monrovia, Santa Barbara, Ventura and Oxnard. DRAIN WASH TO RECOVER TREASURE LONDON, Feb. 9.—There is talk of draining the Wash and turning it into fertile farm lands. If this were done there is just a chance that the treasure of King John might be recovered, for we know that somewhere in that great sandy estuary lies his golden crown, his jewels, and his treasure chests. There is another royal treasure lying hidden in some rocky chasm in the mountains of Wales. It is that of Edward II, which he hid in the year 1326 when flying from his victorious Queen Isabella through the wilds of Glamorganshire. So securely was it hidden that the search made for it was vain. Why do we spend thousands in fitting out expeditions to pirate islands in tropic seas when the soil of our own country is full of buried gold? From Roman times right down to the days of Charles II, it was the common practice to bury one's savings at the first hint of danger. Why, Mr. Pepys himself, when alarmed by the threat of a Dutch invasion, hurried down to his father's house in Huntingdonshire and there buried all his wealth. In his "Diary" we read of his agonies of mind for the safety of his guineas. MESA APPLE MEN PLAN BIG DINNER Costa Mesa apple growers today were anticipating with lively interest the dinner and business meeting scheduled at the Costa Mesa church Tuesday, Feb. 14, at 1:30 p.m. According to a statement by H. B. Woodrough fully 60 representative growers will attend the meeting. Business to come before the newly created Costa Mesa Apple Growers' Ass'n will include the election of a board of directors and a general discussion of ways and means for furthering the interests of the apple growers of Orange-co. At the same time reports will be received from the several delegates recently named to attend the meeting of the Yucalpa Apple Growers' Ass'n Feb. 8. Fully 200 apple and pear growers were expected to attend the Yucalpa meeting, including a number of growers from mOrange-co, and plans will be discussed looking to the formation of units to market the products of the southern district. Discussing the meeting at Costa Mesa, Woodrough said that an acreage of fully 500 acres would be represented and some interesting reports would be made by the committee recently appointed to investigate the proper functioning of the Costa Mesa organization. The building of an apple storage warehouse, the formation of a permanent marketing organization, and discussions of future planting and harvesting are expected to play a prominent part in the Costa Mesa meeting. BLOCK BIG SCHEME FOR BOOTLEGGING A bootlegging scheme of considerable dimensions is nipped in the bud with the confiscation at Newport Beach by the officers of a supply of liquor that apparently was ready for disposition. Frank Spencer is being held in the county jail at Santa Ana under ball of $300, awaiting trial on Feb. 9, before City Recorder Byron Hall, of Newport Beach. City Marshal J. A. Porter and Deputy Joe Wilson made the arrest and seized the liquor, which consisted of a pint bottle of grape brandy and a dozen quart bottles of the same beverage, which were found in a handbag. The case will be prosecuted on the grounds that transportation of the liquor was planned. United States furnishes Japan with about 45 per cent of all her outside supplies.

This was arranged today after conference by Messrs Herman Stern with Tom Anderson of the American Fruit Growers, Inc. and Mr. Howard Whitney, their public commissioner. Mr. Anderson is known as the most expert citrus fruit exhibitor in the United States and it goes without saying that the feature will be used to advertise the coming California Valencia Orange Show which will be one of great merit, and attraction. Mr. Anderson is on his way to San Bernardino today to begin operations. The space on which the local display will be built was engaged by the American Fruit Growers but due to some changes in plans, they are going to confine their exhibits to rack displays. However, they have already decided to go into the Second Valencia Show on a much larger scale than last year with feature exhibits of equal splendor. FIGURES ON NEGRO MIGRATION GIVEN WASHINGTON, Jan. 31.—The total number of negroes reported as born in Southern states and living in the North and West had increased from 440,534 in 1910 to 780,794 in 1920, the census bureau announced today in a special report on negro migration, based on returns of the last census. The southern boundaries of New Jersey, Pennsylvania, Ohio, Indiana, Illinois, Missouri and Kansas were taken as the dividing line between the North and South for the purpose of the report. Of the 10,381,309 negroes enumerated in the last census there were 38,575 for whom no state of birth was reported. The 780,794 Southern born negroes shown to have migrated to the North or West, constituted 8.1 per cent of the total of 9,006,943 negroes born in the Southern section. The percentage of this migration for the preceding decade was not shown. Against this migration from the South to the North and West of the total of 741,791 reported in the last census as born in states of the latter region, 47,223, or 6.4 per cent, were living in the South. Thus the proportion of Southern born negroes who migrated to the North or West, according to the report, was only about one-fourth larger than the proportion of those born in the latter region who migrated to the South.

PIONEER BELL OF MISSOURI IN USE ST. LOUIS, Feb. 9.—The first church bell brought into Missouri is still in use and though old and grimy looking it has no crack or break. It is in the Church of St. Vincent de Paul in St. Louis. The bell was brought to St. Louis 147 years ago and hung in the belfy in the first church built in the city. It was the gift of Benito Vasquez, a Spanish soldier and a man of considerable means. The bell was cast in 1722 and brought to St. Louis two years later from New Orleans. Vasquez had 200 Spanish dollars melted into it to "make the tone sweeter." Two great granddaughters of Benito Vasquez live in Kansas City. They are Misses Anna and Emily Vasquez, 1506 Linwood boulevard. Several great grandchildren live in St. Louis. Plain Dealer for Good Job Printing. Anaheim Battery Co.
