Friday Bargain Day Most Successful Yet Friday's Bargain Day was the most successful yet put across by local merchants, according to reports current in the stores today. Many of the specials offered yesterday were continued today, and help to stimulate week-end trading. One firm reported selling 10 dozen play suits for children. Another well known concern disposed of several hundred suits of overalls. A third company sold many barrels of cakes. And so it went. Patrons appeared to be well-satisfied with goods and values. In many cases the first or practically the first showing of spring goods took place while the rest of the stocks consisted of current lines. There was no attempt to unload goods out of season or of inferior quality.

C. Mack, the field representative of that organization, appeared before the board at that time and secured their approval. The sole purpose of The People's Economy League is to oppose the proposed Water and Power Act, which is an initiatory measure, and will be on the ballot next November. The People's Economy League originated in Los Angeles, where a large number of prominent bankers, business and professional men and women organized to oppose the act, which carries with it a $500,000,000 bond issue, believing that the time has come to call a halt in the wild expenditure of public monies. The following prominent citizens of Anaheim have identified themselves with the league, pledging themselves to vote against the act and lending their moral influence to its defeat: Dr. H. A. Johnson, J. Frederick Alhborn, George Dunton, Chas Eygabroad, J. E. Stroup, V. W. LaMount, H. M. Adams, Harry D. Riley, Thos. L. McFadden, Malcolm Frazer, Geo Rebman, W. M. Wellman, Jas Carroll, E.

Backs, Jr. The act is a proposed constitutional amendment and has received enough signatures to place it on the ballot. It provides for a commission of five men to be appointed by the governor, to be known as The Water and Power Commission. With the passage of the act authority is given to the commission to issue at any time and at their own discretion a half billion dollars in state bonds, the proceeds of the sale of bonds to be invested in unidentified hydro-electric projects. It is assumed that the intent and purpose of the act by the participants is that the commission shall by purchase or condemnation take over the present public utility corporations of the state and attempt to handle them as a state owned and managed utility. It is a vast proposal, as $500,000,000 is one-eighth or taxable valuation of all the property in the state. It should be carefully studied by every voter because of its far reaching dangers and consequences. Leonard Evans, who as chairman of the legislative committee of the Chamber of Commerce, will have charge of the discussion of this important proposal, has the following to say in regard to it: "I am against the proposed Water and Power Act because it is a dangerous and radical departure from our time-honored principal of representative government.

No opposition has been shown in Anaheim, and not a great deal in Santa Ana to the improvements. New Directory Shows 1500 Phones in City Ten thousand copies of the new directory of the Pacific Telephone & Telegraph Co., covering Orange-co, are being distributed. The directory, which is dated Feb. 10, contains approximately 1500 names in the Anaheim exchange, a gain of about 125 since the previous directory was issued as of August 10. Manager E. A. Beard has been buried up with new applica- tions for service, and if any names have been omitted that subscribers expected to get in, the omissions were unavoidable. Stations in Anaheim are now increasing at a rate about double the average of 1921 and much faster than those of Fullerton, Santa Ana or any other com-munity in the county.

Prof. Ellis Rhodes, accompanied by Hamilton Evans, contributed delightful tenor solos. Thuler appealed for a return to the Christian principles of the Puritan leaders of the nation. I’m only a preacher, with long hair down my back, and don’t know much about a lot of things, but want to tell you that unless this entry gets back to the old-fashioned idea of American sabbath observance, the Christian home, respect for government and clean entertainment, this nation is in jeopardy, as asked the speaker.

At the southern city he had several checks, amounting it Both Anaheim and Santa Ana must approve of the proposition for the outfall sewer to be constructed jointly, if this city is to have the sewer system planned, City Manager O. A. Steward pointed out today. The bond elections of each city fall on April 4. Santa Ana is not likely to vote for the joint outfall sewer and not the local city sewer. No opposition has been shown in Anaheim, and not a great deal in Santa Ana to the improvements. The proposition for the local sewer bonds reads: “Shall the City of Anaheim incur a bond debt to the amount of $160,000.00 for the acquisition, construction and completion, by the City of Anaheim of a certain municipal improvement, other and different from the said outfall sewer, to-wit, an outfall sewer together with all necessary rights of way upon which to construct and the construc-tion of an outfall sewer pipe line including the acquisition of all neces-cary pipe and the payment of the cost and expense of installing said sewer pipe line.” The route adopted on recommendation of City Manager Steward is directly south on the Garden Grove-rd to the Pacific Electric railroad, south easterly along the right of way of the railroad to the paved road running south, and continuing south along the county road to the junction point with the Santa Ana outfall, a total distance of 47,000 feet or 9.05 miles. Twenty-two inch pipe is recommended, giving a capacity of 370 miners’ inches at minimum grade and allowing for an increased flow of 315 inches or 570 per cent above the maximum sewage flow of October last, 55 miners’ inches. The line can be built for $162,395.00. The proportion of Anaheim’s cost in the joint outfall sewer is 25 per cent of $207,-655.5$ or $51,913.90 and 50 per cent of the right of way and disposal site of $82,000 or $18700; making the total estimated cost of the entire outfall for the city $220,308.90. The bonding capacity of the city is $326,-187. The joint outfall sewer will cost $240,000, and $80,000 is the amount of the bond issue called for in Anaheim, the object being to allow a margin in case of need, though not all of the issue will be offered for sale at present. The nearest feasible junction point for the local sewer with the outfall sewer is believed to be at the intersection of the east line of Section 32, Township 5 south, range 10 west, with the westerly line of the right of way of the Santa Ana river, about five eighths of a mile southwesterly from Talbert bridge. From that point the most feasible route is parallel with and adjacent to the west levee of the river. It is estimated that 23,750 feet of 36 inch reinforced concrete pipe will be required from the junction point to the shore line and 800 feet of 36-inch cast iron pipe from the shore line out. MEN'S BIBLE CLASS OFFERS BIG PROGRAM There is a great treat in store for the men of the Howe Men’s Bible class which meets at the Bob White garage at 328 East Center-st Sunday morning at 9:30 o’clock.

TWENTY-SIXTH YEAR ADLOCK COMPROMISE PROPOSED BY MADALYNNE'S JURY LOS ANGELES, March 18.—The jurors in the case of Madalynne Obenchain at the outset of their deliberations on the verdict today abandoned the possibility of inflicting the death penalty under any circumstances, it was reported in the courtroom today. According to the report, all of the jurors expressed firm opposition to a verdict calling for capital punishment. After the sixth ballot had failed to result in an agreement, it was reported today that a compromise verdict had been proposed and debated. Persistent reports had it that the vote was 9 to 3 for conviction and that there had been no change of votes over night. According to reports in the courtroom a compromise verdict was suggested by one of the jurors when it developed that the opposing faction was holding out strongly.

Persistent reports had it that the vote was 9 to 3 for conviction and that there had been no change of votes over night. According to reports in the court room a compromise verdict was suggested by one of the jurors when it developed that the opposing faction was holding out strongly. The compromise proposal, it was reported, was made in an effort to effect a satisfactory agreement before night. The only absolutely definite information regarding the jury was that the jurors were divided on the question of Mrs. Obenchain's guilt or innocence and apparently determined to stand by their votes until dismissed by the court for failure to agree. The jurors were up early this morning, after having retired to their rooms at the hotel at 10 o'clock last night. After breakfast they went for a short ride in the sightseeing bus used to convey them between the courtroom and the hotel. At 3:30 this afternoon the jury was still out. Some reports gave the stand as 9 to 3 for conviction, while others give a more equal division. It is probable the jury will continue deliberation over Sunday.

The average life of each lamp is about six weeks. Lamps will be replaced by the branch offices of the club. NEW METHODS IN BOOTLEGGING' RAID LOS ANGELES, March 18.—A new type of "bootleg" raid was staged by prohibition agents and Los Angeles police officers early today when they walked into a popular downtown cafe and, although they say they discov- FRUIT PRICES IN UPWARD MOVEMENT (Los Angeles Herald) Light offerings of navels in all markets, coupled with the assurance that March 1 estimates showed not over 5500 cars navels remaining for shipment, has resulted in establishing a strong and healthy orange market. Prices have been steadily climbing upward. With the trade hungry for fruit as they are at the present time, the balance of the crop should bring splendid prices. More rain throughout the citrus belt this week will undoubtedly cause additional dropping of navels from the trees as has invariably been the result this season following the frost damage. The probable size of the crop of marketable Valencias is creating a great deal of discussion among growers and shippers. The cutting of samples in some districts have shown heavy damage in groves that were considered uninjured while reports from other districts tell of groves coming through in fine shape where frost damage was considered general throughout that district. After the first cold night, January 19, it was generally conceded that Orange county's Valencias had not been damaged. But the following night there was more freezing and lower temperatures. After carefully taking into consideration the new acreage coming into bearing and deducting possible loss by wind and frost it is estimated that Orange-co will ship about 10,000 cars of Valencias. Next in line is Los Angeles with 4000 cars, San Bernardino, Riverside and Ventura-co; 200 cars and Tulare-co; 1500 cars. This would give a total of approximately 18,000 cars of marketable Valencias from both north and south of the Tehachapi for the 1921-1922 season, figuring on a basis of 400 boxes to a car, or about 16,000 cars of 458 boxes each, which was the average load last season. Some interests figure this estimate entirely too high. Later this year much more will be known on this point. F. o. b. quotations on navels, usual terms, are on a basis of $5.50 to $5.75 on freeze from frost and $4.50 to $4.75 on separated. Cash, $4.75 to $5.25 per box on free from frost fruit and $3.50 to $3.75 on separated. Rain in Tulare county has held back Valencias. NEW METHODS IN 'BOOTLEGGING' RAID LOS ANGELES, March 18.—A new type of "bootleg" raid was staged by prohibition agents and Los Angeles police officers early today when they walked into a popular downtown cafe, although they say they discovered a secluded dining room in which wine was in evidence on the tables of most of the "dihers," made no arrests.
