Tuesday, June 20, 1922 Taking the VOL. XXV—NO. 267 FIVE BIT Buy in Anaheim and G-R-E-A-T-E-R PROSPERITY By the Mysterious Cowboy When I came to Anaheim, like any other newcomer I could see at a glance that one cannot go wrong in this city and district when it comes to making investments. I have an old friend back east who has been looking for substantial places where he might invest some money. But the poor nut has gone from bad to worse. He stays in the east and here's his latest offerings: NO FLICKER IN ANAHEIM LIGHTS New 10,000-Volt Condenser Replaces Two 2000-Volt at Katella Anaheim soon will have no more trouble with its light. The defects haven't amounted to much—consisting mainly of lights that flickered occasionally or went out for a few seconds on a Sunday—and will be ended entirely within two or three bands Concert at Park Thursday. The first of the concerts by the Anaheim band will be given Thursday at the city park, press and Helena-street program will be given: Greater Anaheim...J. T. Slavonic Rhapsody...C.

I have an old friend back east who has been looking for substantial places where he might invest some money. But the poor nut has gone from bad to worse. He stays in the east and here's his latest offerings: "Regarding oil wells, our holdings are over soft on silurian shale, and the wells will be practically self-drilling—that is, a good heavy drill once through the crust will sink itself until stopped by the gusher. I am sure we haven't much crust. Now allow $150 for a good drill and place the balance of the $7500 in a 'shinking fund' as it were, and you will readily see that at least 50 wells can be drilled for $7500 assuming that they are not drilled simultaneously. Should you or any of your friends be in a position to invest in these wells, I can put you in on the ground floor or even lower." Think that proposition over if you want to get an angle on the prospects here and there. Saturday the planet Mars was only a mere 32 million miles from the earth—the closest it will come for the next fifty years. This being the case I went into the Anaheim Electric Co., to see the manager, Mr. Gielow, and asked him to tune me in on the radio with Mars. I figured this way—if there is any place on the 'globe where they can connect you with Mars it must be a shop. They have everything its electrical line and the general matter is a regular Edison himself. Anyway Mars wasn't broadcasting Saturday so we didn't get the latest jazz music from our celestial neighbor. At that I got a kick out of hearing a man and his wife fighting out in Shanghai. Yesterday was the first real hot day that I experienced since I officiated at the burial of Dan McGraw. But, Oh Boy! The nights take care of these warm days. Lucky Anaheim to have those sweet breezes from the great Pacific every night as the sun goes down. I met a couple of artisans the other day who are certainly there when it comes to doing big things in their own profession. Meessr. Cox and Winkler of the Anaheim Auto Works. They work on the top of the auto. They are so skilled that they can make a most respectable looking auto out of a wreck. And their fender mending is marvelous—not a sign of the big bruises that were formerly there. If the old car's looking down and out you New 10,000-Volt Condenser Replaces Two 2000-Volt at Katella Anaheim soon will have no more trouble with its light. One defects haven't amounted to much—consisting mainly of lights that flicker occasionally or went out for a few seconds on a Sunday—and will be ended entirely within two or three weeks' time. Substitution of a 10,000-volt condenser for the two 2,000-volt condensers used now at the Katella sub-station will improve the service. Energy will be supplied in a steadier and more constant stream than ever before. Anaheim's service will compare relative to population, with that of the large cities of the Southland. The nearest hydro-electric plant supplying the sub-station is located at Big Creek, 300 miles away, and this has been responsible for most of the city's difficulties. The new condenser will be in operation within three weeks. S.P. TRIES TO KEEP UNION WITH C.P. In accordance with a state-wide campaign which the Southern Pacific Lines is making among chambers of commerce and similar bodies in the interest of retaining the union of the Central Pacific and southern Pacific, representatives of the road today meet members of the transportation committee of the social chamber, Charles Eygabroad acting for the directors, and Vice-president James E. Stewart for the Anaheim Realty Board. Those present for the company were Edward A. Sharpe, general agent of the Pacific Electric, Los Angeles; L. B. Valla, district freight and passenger agent at Santa Anic, and A. F. Bowles, assistant superintendent, of Los Angeles. Approximately 100 chambers of commerce and similar bodies of northern California, including the San Francisco Chamber of Commerce, has endorsed continuation of the two roads on their former basis. Among the southern organizations which have given such endorsement, according to the officials, are those of Los Angeles Harbor, Redondo Beach, San Diego, Calexico, Brawley and Imperial. The matter will be brought before the directors of the Anaheim Chamber of Commerce Friday evening. The Southern Pacific Company by a United States Supreme Court decision on May 29, was ordered to "sever its control of the Central Pacific by stock ownership or lease." Since 1870 the two roads have been under a common management, in 1885 the Central Pacific was leased. What is said to be the limit of accrease of recent years?

And their tender mending is marvelous—not a sign of the big bruises that were formerly there. If the old car's looking down and out you had better take it around to the Anaheim Auto Works. They will put a new dress on it for you and then you will be proud of old "lizs" instead of ashamed. Look out for blow outs on these hot days. Go up to the Reliable Tire Co. and see the two good fellows who run the business and have them fix you up with reliable tires. They have the most reliable tires you could wish for and you don't have to dig up much coin to pay for 'em either. Are the home folks buying in Anaheim? Well I guess they are. All my talk and mysterious stuff has not been in vain. Last week was a banner one for home purchasers—so the best merchants tell me. And yesterday everybody in town was out for ice cream and cold drinks. I blew into the Gibson Drug Store to see Soda Fountain Watt. He was there with all his delicious cold things. By the way, this progressive boy is going to put out a book of coupons for ice drinks, etc. By buying one worth you save the price of two or three good swigs, let's go. Night and Day Service Myers Garage has been taking care of my mysterious automobile. It was a great mystery to me until I let the old boy fix it. Now I understand it thoroughly.

CROWN STAGE PUTS BIG BUS IN SERVICE Safety and comfort for passengers and economy for the company unite in a new Fageol bus which the Crown Stage Line will put into operation this week. One or two of the buses were tried out on Sunday, but the top was found too low and will be raised about four inches. The bus marks a new mile-stone in motorstage construction. It was thought so remarkable a piece of work that it received large publicity in a Funk & Wagnalls publication recently. This Fageol Motors Company creation can't be overestimated. It is easily entered, owing to the low steps and commodiousness of the interior. And it will go. A speed of 49 miles per hour if necessary is possible. It is neither a truck equipped with a stage body, nor a rebuilt passenger car, but a stage body on a chassis, says the makers. It is called the Inter-City Stage. If the bus by reason of saving in expense warrants it, the company will gradually replace its other cars with this Fageol stage. The stages cost -8,000 cach and should run 100,000 miles without an overhauling, the manufacturers declare. Alberta Wallace, 15, Passes Away Today Alberta Wallace, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Wm. A. Wallace of this city, passed on at seven o'clock this day. Neighboring Factories Saved from Flames as Huge Canery Is Destroyed Destroying the huge fish cannery of the J. V. Giaconi Co., 1295 West Seventh street, Long Beach, a spectacular fire, which for a time threatened a number of concerns in the Long Beach industrial district, caused $100,000 damages today. Despite the stubborn battle of Long Beach fire fighters, the fire gained steadily until the plant was a mass of flames. Firemen then played streams of water on adjoining property and prevented the flames from spreading. The immense plant, which was 100 feet by 500 feet in dimensions, was formerly the South Coast Canning Co., establishment, under which name it was well known. The entire structure, with the exception of a small warehouse, was razed by the blaze. The fire burned from 3 a.m., when it was discovero- until 7 a.m. today. Hundreds of Long Beach residents flocked to the scene to witness the spectacular blaze, which burned so furiously that firemen has difficulty in approaching the structure to direct streams of water on it. The plant was declared to have been one of the best equipped fish canneries in California. Preparations had been rushed at the place to put the plant in readiness for the approach tuna season. Officials of the company said the heaviest loss was from the destruction of machinery and other valuable equipment. ANAHEIM BEEF CO. DOUBLES CAPACITY With facilities which double its slaughtering capacity for cattle, sheep and hogs alike, the Anaheim Beef Co. is entering upon the most successful period of its career.

According to John Ruether, it is the only abattoir in the county which employs a regular inspector. The slaughtering capacity not is 50 cattle per day, 100 sheep and 200 hogs. The company is specializing in pork products, the output of which will be doubled. The former killing floor has been given up to storage purposes, and storage capacity now is 40 per cent larger. The new cooler is a model or its kind. Bacon and ham, for which the company has established a reputation, will demand the larger part of the additional space. Manager Ruether now is looking after the re-cementing of the corral floors. DYKE DRIODES REPORTS RECORDED THAT THE RIVER BROKE THE LEVEL LIVE ON TRAFFIC VIOLATORS HELPS who Judge Kuchel had but two before him this morning, and than half a dozen yesterday, have been more than a score since Saturday noon, for traffic laws by Louis Vokall, officer, and other police.

Box, advertising specialist with the Plain Dealer. Box received something approaching an ovation from the 40 or 50 present.

Representatives of the powers gathered here today and drafted a communication to the soviet government, informing it of the preliminary decisions of the conference, the personnel of the various commissions that have been set up and asking it to send its spokesmen here on June 20 to solve the "Russian problem." However, this communication does not contain any basis of discussion; first, because the allies have not yet agreed on these matters themselves, and second, because the British objected to any set terms such as the French desired. M. E. BEEBE & CHILDREN VICTIMS Declared Out of Danger Today After Receiving Pasteur Treatment M. E. Beebe of Anaheim and four young children are recovering today under the Pasteur treatment from bites which they received a week ago from the family pet bull dog. The treatment is being applied by Dr. J. L. Beebe, who reported today. BEET SUGAR MARKET IS PROMISING The beet sugar market is more promising at present than it has been in many months past, according to a leading official of the Anaheim Sugar Company, who said that beet sugar prices had advanced $1.20 per hundred pounds wholesale since the first of the year. The factory will start its annual campaign about August 15, according to present prospects. Various reasons are assigned for the improvement in the market. One is that carryover of both cane and is that the carryover of both cane beet sugar has been practically absorbed, and the amount of sugar in the hands of the big distributors is small. Another is that, while Cuba has a good-sized crop this year, the island is sending millions of pounds of sugar to England and considerable to France. Hawaiian sugar is a minor factor in the trade. There is no letup in the demand, and the market for sugar at present is encouragingly strong. The low prices of sugar, both beet and cane, are to blame for the recduction of beet sugar acreage in Orange county is only 60 per cent of last year's, but the latter was considerably above normal. Crop estimates at present, and also estimates of the quality, are premature and not wholly reliable. Until the beets are fully mature it will be impossible to say what the crop will be.

Declared Out of Danger Today After Receiving Pasteur Treatment M. E. Beebe of Anaheim and four young children are recovering today under the Pasteur treatment from bites which they receive a week ago from the family pet bull dog. The treatment is being applied by Dr. J. L. Beebe, who reported today that the five were out of danger. The injuries were not considered serious at first, and the family followed out its plans for a sojourn at Big Bear Lake. After they got there, however, they became worried when the condition of the dog indicated rabies, and the animal's body was shipped to Los Angeles where an examination showed rabies. The treatment is perhaps the most expensive of the sort for any disease known, costing it is said, $60 per patient for each injection. C. OF C.
