MORE LONG PRICES FOR ORANGES The Placentia Mutual Orange Association's brands of Valencias again scored yesterday in the New York markets. The California Belle, put by the Fullerton house or tee association, brought $9.70, up 30 cents over Monday's day's record price, and Carmencitas $8.60, which was 60 cents higher. The prices of all grades of Valencias, and not merely the finest grades which are shipped in comparatively small lots, are holding up well, says Manager G. W. Sandilands of the Anaheim Orange and Leanon Ass'n. Shipments, of course, from Southern California as a whole have been cut in proportion to the production in the crop which has taken place. While it is early to forecast what the June estimate will be for the state as a whole, the total will go considerably under 10,000 cars, according to information from reliable quarters here. The California Fruit Growers' Exchange will issue the next estimate on or about June 3. Two-thirds of the oranges yet to be shipped are in Orange-co., says Charles Eygabroad, director of the Fruit Exchange. Competition from other fruits has been smaller, if anything, than was expected. The crop of early strawberries now is practically exhausted and the Imperial Valley will not begin to ship cantaloupes to the Eastern markets in quantity until after June 1. The valley ships approximately 12,000 cars. Early peaches will move from Georgia beginning about the middle of June. How much of a factor this year other fruits will be in the market is difficult to estimate, managers say, because while there was some damage from weather in various sections, the damage as a whole is less than $11,000 and paving city of Venice.

Doescher is going about town these days wearing his hat at a very jaunty angle over his left eye, but it is for protection, rather than appearance. While attending an Evangelical church convention in Santa Ana last week, he received burns about the forehead and eye, when he walked against a heated pipe in the basement leading from the furnace to a register. His eye is yet badly swollen and his forehead is seared in several places. Had it not been for the rim of a heavy felt hat, Rev. Doescher would probably have been even more painfully burned. PLAN ROUSING RECEPTION A rousing reception to President Warren G. Harding if he comes to Santa Ana will be arranged, Secretary J. C. Metzgar of the Chamber of Commerce, said. The President is likely to visit his sister, Mrs. E. E. Renshberg, of 1701 North Main st., if he comes to the Southland at alt., it is believed.

No small part of the affair was the presentation of a number of costly gifts to older employers, including several automobiles, jewels, etc. Her attorney, Fay Lewis, well-known in Anaheim, was given a specially manufactured watch with chain which included a pearl between each link. Her gifts are said to have totalled between $15,000 and $20000. Mrs. Slusher owns 40 acres of oil land at Santa Fe Springs which she leased for $40,000.
