Twelve months ago the markets were glutted with navels and the opening prices for valencias were extremely low, many being sold to not around a cent a pound. Later in the season, due to the fact that the valencia has no orange competitor in the summer time and because the eastern deciduous crop was a failure in many places, the valencia price advanced, finishing strong. Exchange packing houses showed an average for the price of $2.25 per box or better. Compared to the low price of a mojo ago are offers by cash buyers of cents a pound or better on the trees. Ed Kelley, of Brookhurst, yesterday afternoon displayed a contract for the sale of 8000 boxes, more or less, at 5 cents a pound on the trees. This includes all the fruit and relieves Kelley of all expense for picking, packing, etc. The trees are young and Kelley wanted them picked at a certain time. He decided to sell outside the association and pay the fine of 25c per box, in view of the fact they promised to include many culls. He has 15 acres of large trees which will probably yield more than the 40 acres. R. R. McDonald turned down an offer of 5½ cents. Cash buyers are reported to be offering 6 and 6½ cents for very choice fruit. Eastern auction markets continue displaying wonderful strength. Orchard brand yesterday brot $7.75 in New York. All of which indicates that orange experts knew what they were talking about when they predicted that the Anaheim district will have more money that it knows what to do with when the orange returns begin coming in. The there is an estimated depreciation of about 350 cars from last year. Anaheim shipments now being predicted to total 2650 cars, all present indications are that prices will be so high that the total return for the district may be twice that of last year. A local man who owned $4000 on his grove offered two weeks ago to give his crop to cancel the debt. The offer was turned down. Yesterday he sold the crop for $8000. Charles Eygabroad reports that the Calif. Fruit Exchange, of which he is director, is receiving now over $1,000,000 per week from sale of citrus fruit and that all grades of navels are averaging $3.50 per box f.o.b. Calf. shipping points. Eygabroad believes the Anaheim district will aggregate double the returns of last year. YOUTH HURT WHEN MOTORCYCLES BUMP Alfred G. Rinehart, 19, of Eliza-beth, N.

PLAN The Anaheim Realty Board will endorse the project of bringing the $500,000 Super Feature Film Corp. to the city, if the claims made by Lional Sterling, fiscal agent for the concern, who addressed the board today, are substantiated. The board had a luncheon meeting at Cherry Blossom Inn, Judge J. S. Howard, president, presiding. The principal other business was the passing of a motion to attend in a body the regional meeting of the California Real Estate Ass'n at Los Angeles on Saturday. The film company was organized in Arizona, but most of the directors are Southern Californians. A prominent Los Angeles financier and an Anaheimer are among the members of the board, Sterling said. The company proposes to open its main headquarters here and make, among other films, one showing the principal points of interest of the city its pictures are in the natural colors and unusually attractive. At present the concern has a five-reel picture called "The Cradle of Civilization," which is said to be the most beautiful likeness of scenes of Palestine that yet has been produced. This film is being shown at Tally's Broadway Theatre, Los Angeles, and later will be shown at the Presbyterian church in Pasadena, said to be the wealthiest church there, San Diego, Redlands and other cities of the south also are negotiating for the picture. Sterling claimed to have the enval battle maneuvers and every effort to save those imprisoned in the ill-fated vessel proved fruitless. Telegrams from Gibraltar this afternoon gave details of the tragedy which is one of the most serious naval accidents since the close of the World War. According to reports to the admiralty, the submarine, which was of the larger cruiser type of vessel suitable for long voyages with the fleet, was operating in the Mediterranean as a portion of a squadron which was carrying out an "attack" in the naval war game being staged at this season of the year off the Gibraltar base. Owing to a mistake in signals or defective steering gear, the submarine came into violent collision with the leading scout vessel of a destroyer division which was operating at full speed. The outer shell of the submarine was crushed and the onrush of water was so great the pumps of the vessel could not make headway against it. The submarine rolled completely over, it is reported and then sank like a plummet. Summoned by radio, the entire flee sped to assist the stricken vessel but all efforts were unavailing. The accident occurred in the straits of Gibraltar on the Mediterranean side. There were three officers and 20 men on board. GARBER BRICK CO. MOVING TO OLIVE The H. Garber Brick plant that for the past two years has been operating in Santa Ana under the supervision of Mr. Garber, endeavoring to get centrally located in the heart of building activity and at the same time close to good brick clay, is moving this week to Olive, the exact location being east of the Mills on the Savi Reservoir site. During the move Mr. Garber is doubling the capacity which will mean 35,000 brick per day, and means an initial investment of $30,000. New machinery is being installed, such as motors, conveyors to take the brick into the dry sheds; a drag line equipment to take the brick from the pit to the brick machine. Says Mr. Garber: "At our new ITS PICTURES ARE IN THE NATURAL COLORS AND UNUSUALLY ATTractive. At present the concern has a five-reel picture called "The Cradle of Civilization," which is said to be the most beautiful likeness of scenes of Palestine that yet has been produced. This film is being shown at Tally's Broadway Theatre, Los Angeles, and later will be shown at the Presbyterian church in Pasadena, said to be the wealthiest church there. San Diego, Redlands and other cities of the south also are negotiating for the picture. Sterling claimed to have the endorsement of Rev. J. Whitcob Brougher, pastor of the Baptist Temple in Los Angeles, and other prominent metropolitan ministers. Bird V. Beebe, W. J. Jewel and E. C. Lieb were appointed a committee to confer with Sterling this afternoon on the matter of the company's status and its locating here. FAST L. A.-FRISCO EXPRESS SERVICE H. Deussen, general agent for the Pacific States Express, was an Anaheim visitor today, in the interest of the new express service between So. and No. Calif. The company has the exclusive express privilege on the fast steamers Yale and Harvard between Los Angeles and Frisco. This means the north and the south are now to be connected by motor express service as truck companies about Los Angeles and Frisco will pick up and deliver express for the steamers. In Anaheim the Thos. Richards Drayage Co. will handle the express. The service will be practically the same as the American Ry. express before the war and about 25 per cent than they are now. A faster service is assured which should prove a big advantage to fruit and vegetable shippers. SUBMIT PLANS FOR A. KRAEMER BLOCK Detailed plans for the Arnold Kraemer-bldg., M.

GET CENTRALLY Located in the heart of building activity and at the same time close to good brick clay, moving this week to Olive, the exact location being east of the Mills on the Savi Reservoir site. During the move Mr. Garber is doubling the capacity which will mean 35,000 brick per day, and means an initial investment of $30,-000. New machinery is being installed, such as motors, conveyors to take the brick into the dry sheds; a drag line equipment to take the brick from the pit to the brick machine. Says Mr. Garber: "At our new yard location we will be centrally located so that we can easily reach the four corners of the county, and we will also have a better clay." This yard is the only common soft brick yard in the county. There is a small establishment in a beach town that is manufacturing a wire cut brick for local trade only. It will surprise some to know that the Garber plant has been trucking their product to Los Angeles. Mr. Garber is now testing the Olive clay for the probabilities of making hollow tile, and will do so immediately if the quality is right.
