Sandilands of the Anaheim Orange and Lemon Association. This includes all varieties—navels, bloods, mikes, seeds and sweets, as well as Valencias—and also shipments already made of all merchantable fruit. Various estimates made in many districts of southern California, as well as from the section and counties as wholes have been confusing, says Sandilands, in some cases, because estimated shipments of perfect fruit were not distinguished from shipments of frost-batten, but merchantable fruit. The highest estimate made by Sandilands at the beginning of the season last fall was around 3300 cars, compared with 3,000 cars for the previous season ending Oct. 31 last. Thus the decrease, in spite of repeated wind storms, frost and rains preventing picking and also gathering of fruit amounts to only 300 cars as compared with last year. This is slightly under 12 per cent. Sandilands credits the windstorms, etc., with causing 12 per cent of the loss and frost due other than percent, giving 20 per cent or thereabouts for the decrease from the original estimates for this year made last November. Sandilands repeated today that opinion expressed soon after the frost that higher prices would more than make up the difference in the crop though he declined to make an estimate on what price differences would come to. Of the 2650 cars, 2500 will be Valencias, says Sandilands. The estimate of oranges still to ship made by the California Fruit Exchange as of March 1 for Orange County Exchange Association was 7511 cars of 400 boxes each, of which the Northern Orange Citrus Exchange was to ship 4119 cars and the Orange County Fruit Exchange 3392 cars.

Ross, secretary-manager of the Anaheim Walnut Growers Ass'n, said today. Many things can happen to spoil the crop, as was the case last year, Ross added, but a killing frost after March 15 is very unusual and the likelihood of blights or pests is no greater than in other years. Last year's marketable crop was 650 tons approximately, of which 85 per cent were perfect nuts. While this year's acreage of bearing trees will not be greater, the 1921 crop was short and a larger one may be hoped for. Trees are late in budding, but should begin April 1, said Ross. Last year they were all in bud at this WOMAN HITS DRIVER OF WAGON Myron Dean, 30, of La Habra, well known in Fullerton, was run down and fatally injured yesterday afternoon about 3 o'clock on the Brea-La Habra-rd by Mrs. J. A. Undernill, wife of Dr. P. Calvin Underhill, 309 N. Ardore, Los Angeles. He was taken to the Fullerton hospital where he died about an hour later. The decedent, who was a ranch worker near La Habra, was driving a wagon and team along the road, and was standing up on the wagon. Mrs. Underhill coming behind him, applied her brakes to keep from hitting another car which was coming from another direction. Her car skidded on the wet pavement and struck the wagon, knocking Riot in Jail Kills Twenty, Hurts 30 LONDON, March 17.—A Central News dispatch from Niarobi, British East Africa, today said that a mob of nearly 1000 natives with blindous attacked the police station demanding release of Khutu, a prominent agitator. They refused to disperse when ordered and the military fired a volley into the mob, killing 20, wounding 30 and scattering the rest. ANAHEIM RECEIVES 16.89 INCHES RAIN With .54 of an inch of rain during the 24 hours ending at 8 o'clock this morning, Anaheim's total reached 16.89 inches for the season. The figures are those of the municipal power house. Other measurements gave .53 and .55 of an inch. The LaHabra Citrus Ass'n. reported .77 of an inch and the Placentia Many things can happen to spoil the crop, as was the case last year, Ross added, but a killing frost after March 15 is very unusual and the likelihood of blights or pests is no greater than in other years. Last year's marketable crop was 650 tons approximately, of which 85 per cent were perfect nuts. While this year's acreage of bearing trees will not be greater, the 1921 crop was short and a larger one may be hoped for. Trees are late in budding, but should begin April 1, said Ross. Last year they were all in bud at this date. Acreages of importance that will come into bearing include those of the San Joaquin ranch at Santa Ana, where about 100 additional acres yearly reach the eight-year stage, and pieces around Santa Barbara in Ventura county and in Santa Clara. Chino and San Fernando valleys. It is too early to make predictions concerning prices, but the demand for California walnuts, with the improvement of the quality under tac Diamond brand, has been outstripping the supply for some years past. Last year the highest prices received were at the very close of the season. In the state as a whole, in confirmation of Ross' statements of increased acreage, the crop is expected to be the largest on record, officials of the California Walnut Growers' Ass'n., of which Ross' association is a branch, predict. Carlysle Thorpe, general manager of the association, pointed out that following the frost of 1913 the trees budded heavily and an unusual crop was the result. The breaking of the drought of three years, however, is the principal reason for optimism. Ross said that the heavy rainfall this year would benefit crops for two or three years to come. O'DAY HELD FOR OIL TOOL THEFT J. W. O'Day of South Pasadena, who was acquitted about a year ago of charges brought by Anaheimmers and others of selling worthless silver mining stock, is under $2,000 bail at Santa Ana, on charges of being involved in the larceny of $75,00 worth of oil well tools. He was arrested by Under Sheriff E. E. French and is accused jointly with Gus Holmes, also of South Pasadena, who was arraigned yesterday afternoon. The preliminary hearing will be held on April 20th. A few days ago three men were arrested at Portland, Ore.-Paul Dressell, Walter Brown and E. A. Worden—charged with having stolen oil well equipment from the Sunrise Consolidated Oil Co., which operates near El Toro. The equipment was hauled to the station by ranchers hired for the purpose, and shipped to Salem, Ore. The three produced a bill of sale for the equipment obtained from Holmes, who was arrested at Visalia, ANAHEIM RECEIVES 16.89 INCHES RAIN With .54 of an inch of rain during the 24 hours ending at 8 o'clock this morning, Anaheim's total reached 16.89 inches for the season. The figures are those of the municipal power house. Other measurements gave .53 and .55 of an inch. The LaHabra Citrus Ass'n. reported. The 77 of an inch and the Placentia Fruit Growers'.62, with 18.17 for the entire season. The Fullerton vicinity has been getting more rain in most of the season's sores than the Anaheimmer, though the difference has not been large. Before March 14 the rain fall this year about Fullerton was more than double last year, but on that date in 1921 more than two inches fell, altering the present ratios. Santa Ana had only .49 the past 24 hours with 16.27 for the season and Greenville only .46 with 14.92. The rain has been a further boon to field crops and vegetables. SOUTH. CALIF. GIRL IS GIVEN HONOR LOS ANGELES, March 17. — A Southern California girl received a signal honor today when she was invited to attend the "Passion Play" as the guest of Anton Lang, who plays the part of Christ in the Bible drama.

JUNIOR GIRLS WIN FROM SENIORS 20-19 The junior girls put one over on the seniors winning a hot and fast game of baseball by 20-19. This is one of the series of the inter-class games to find the championship team. The juniors will not have to go up against the freshmen in a game. A few days ago three men were arrested at Portland, Ore.—Paul Dressel, Walter Brown and E. A. Worden—charged with having stolen oil well equipment from the Sunrise Consolidated Oil Co., which operates near El Toro. The equipment was hauled to the station by ranchers hired for the purpose, and shipped to Salem, Ore. The three produced a bill of sale for the equipment obtained from Holmes, who was arrested at Visalia, while attending the funeral services of a relative. Holmes produced a bill of sale from O'Day, where thereupon also was arrested. O'Day is understood to be the owner of the property on which the well is located. The plaintiff is E. Conterno of the oil company. The mining stock in connection with which O'Day figured about a year ago, was that of the Silver Dome Mining Corporation, whose claims were located near the head of the Trabuca canyon in the El Toro vicinity.
