WHEN THRU WITH YOUR PLAIN DEALER, MAIL IT TO EASTERN FRIENDS—IT MAY BRING THEM TO ANAHEMI, FASTEST GROWING CITY IN ORANGE COUNTY. VOL. XXV—NO. 275 KIDNAP Buy in Anaheim and G-R-E-A-T-E-R PROSPERITY By the Mysterious Cowboy What am I to talk about today? That reminds me of a story one of the clerks at the J. L. Gates Furniture Co. told me yesterday. It appears that a missionary was about to instruct a class of children for the twentieth time, when hesitating for a moment to hit upon a subject, the missionary put this question to his class—What am I to talk about today? A young wag somewhere in the class answered—"Talk about two minutes." COUNTY HAS BALANCE OF ORANGES Valencias Remaining to Be Shipped Now Concentrated Here, Says Sandilands Valencias remaining to be shipped from California now are practically concentrated in Orange-co., according to Manager G. W. Sandilands of the Anaheim Orange and Lemon Association today. Of the fruit in the hands or groves of the associations affiliated with the exchange. What am I to talk about today? That reminds me of a story one of the clerks at the J. L. Gates Furniture Co. told me yesterday. It appears that a missionary was about to instruct a class of children for the twentieth time, when hesitating for a moment to fit upon a subject, the missionary put this question to his class—What am I to talk about today? A young wag somewhere in the class answered—"Talk about two minutes." And so I am going to talk to for about two minutes. You can help me do so by reading quickly or you can even shorten the misery below the stipulated time. But I must keep on talking about this "Buy-In-Anaheim" idea. It has grown to be a contagion and I am boping that the whole population catches the idea. I know a place where pretty things are to be had for pretty ladies—not alone the beauties but for all the fair, fair sex. McDonald's Mininery and Lingerie Shop at 103 South Clementine st and next to the New Post Office, is the place. Replete with delightful interest it offers milady mighty attractions in many handsome, dainty things. And all the hats and lingerie are designed and made on the premises. Artistic and elegant throughout, it is the home of artistic and useful things. Are you a booster for the Buy-In-Anaheim campaign? Believe me, it pays to boost. Robinson Crusoe proved that. He boosted his little flag to the top of a pole and got out of a bad fix. Friday helped him but all the rest of the days in the week help me boost the Buy-In-Anaheim idea. Robinson kept his flag flying in the breeze, rain or shine. We must keep the Buy-In-Anaheim flag at the top of the pole all of the time. I'm going to wave the boosting flag in your face until we all realize the advantages that exist in this city. How many of you will help? The Fourth of July is near at hand and the Anaheim Novelty and Gift Shop is the nearest to hand when it comes to supplying the fireworks. They are all there—from the Son of Guns to skyrookets. At that fine shop this week they will also have a one cent sale. Buy something at the regular price and get another one of that something for a mere one cent. What a wonderful opportunity! Get out your pennies and go there and see their attractive wares. H. J. Efker is a novelty man of high order and he is there on the gifts also. If you don't think so go in and see him and find out what he will "gift" to you for a penny. I have authentic information that this district will positively not be visited by any frost next winter. These glist tiding come from the Hon. Jack Frost himself. He has made a Valencias Remaining to Be Shipped Now Concentrated Here, Says Sandilands Valencias remaining to be shipped from California now are practically concentrated in Orange co., according to Manager G. W. Sandilands of the Anaheim Orange and Lemon Association today. Of the fruit in the county fully three-fourths is in the hands or groves of the associations affiliated with the exchange. Speaking for his own organization, Sandilands declared that the amount of fruit found unmarketable because of frost damage aggregated so far this season only 1.2 per cent of the total actually shipped, a figure much lower than had been anticipated. Within a month after the frost of the latter part of January an estimate of four per cent was mentioned. The northern citrus belt finished shipping Valencias about the middle of this month and Riverside and San Bernardino-cos are expected to close very shortly. The latter have practically ended shipments already. Los Angeles co., will be the last, outside of Orange, to ship valencias, and it has only a small volume yet to go. There have been repeated reports that independent shipping organizations in the county would finish shipping soon, but how soon is uncertain. Usually they end their season by the last of July at the latest. Valencia growers are watching carefully the cantaloupe situation in the Imperial Valley. The peak of shipments has now been reached, with 550 cars scheduled for yesterday. This week is expected to witness the decline. The growers' in big pool decided a few days ago to cut shipments, in an endeavor to bring market prices up, with 465 cars on the 241h, 225 on the 25th—a Sunday—and 550 arranged for yesterday the reduction has not yet made itself evident. Actual losses have been suffered of late by the growers. By July 4 or thereabouts the peak of the market is expected to be reached, when the shipment peak makes itself apparent in the eastern and mid-west markets. What prices then will be remains to be seen. Even now it is cheaper to let the melons rot than to ship them. MOB THREATENS CHILD BEATER LOS ANGELES, June 27.—Thomas Arnold, a San Pedro cook who was arrested by harbor police on a charge of brutally beating his 8-year-old stepbrother, Jack Thomas, was moved from the San Pedro jail early today to the central police station here. Arnold's transfer came when a large crowd of angry citizens assembled late last night near regular price and get another one of that something for a mere one cent. What a wonderful opportunity!

If you don’t think so go in and see him and find out what he will “gift” to you for a penny. I have authentic information that this district will positively not be visited by any frost next winter. These glad tiding come from the Hon. Jack Frost himself. He has made a coolmillion on Eskimo ples this summer already and has decided to winter in Florida. He tells me that his short stop of here last winter was a mistake and happened on account of an error in routing ples from Point Barrow to Chicago. These ples should have been trans shipped at Seattle but by mistake the ship carried them thru to San Pedro. How about the old shoes? Don’t discard them as long as they hold together. Take them to Mr. Deckwith at Webb’s Repair Shop aid they will be mended like new and returned to you. You will not be called upon to pay much for the job, either. Mr. Deckwith has recently purposed business from his father-in-law, Mr. Webb, and as he has followed this same for about 20 years, he ought to know something about air care wayward “soles”. BUENA PARK TEST WELL CEMENTED The Standard Oil Co. yesterday cemented its Buena Park test well at 3300 feet. This was done at the order of the state mining bureau and not because of oil prospects, it was asserted by oil workers. BENNETT FUNERAL TODAY The funeral of A. A. Bennett, 70, of Orange, drowned at Big Bear Lake when a motorboat capsized, was held this afternoon from his home on East La Veta-ave, Orange. Rev. M. L. Pearson pastor of the Presbyterian church, officiated burial in Fairhaven cemetery.

Arnold’s transfer came when a large crowd of angry citizens assembled late last night near the San Pedro jail. He was accompanied to the Los Angeles jail by a squad of officers armed with sawed-off shotguns. BARHAM FUNERAL IN L. A. THURSDAY LOS ANGELES, June 27.—Funeral services for Guy Brinton Barham, late president of The Los Angeles Evening *Herald Publishing Co.,* who died in London, England, on June 9, will be conducted Thursday, according to plans nearing completion today. The services will be conducted by the Rev. Dean MacCormack of St. Paul’s Pro-Cathedral. The dismantling of St. Peter’s makes it necessary to hold the services in some other large church, which will be announced later.

The year has been a busy one for the directors and for the committees called to service. Seventy-two meet- BOOTLEGGERS DRAW FINES OF $150 Henry Georgeon Flaitz, of Placentia, and Archie Ernest, of Anaheim, arrested yesterday afternoon at Olive by C. E. Jackson, sheriff, were arraigned before Judge French in Fullerton justice court this morning on the charge of transporting booze. It was alleged that they had broken several bottles of the liquor, but that the officers found a few bottles. They pleaded guilty, were fined -150 each and were sentenced to 90 days each in the Orange-co. jail. The jail sentence was suspended. $350,000 BUILDING PLANS TO BENCHLEY Frank K. Benchler of Fullerton, today was commissioned by the Board of Supervisors to draw plans for the new $350,000 Hall of Records in Santa Ana. The building will measure roughly 140 by 175 feet, and will be two stories in height with basement and foundation strong enough to support a third story if necessary later. It will contain an open court with an open colloundade surrounding it. The materials will be Arizona and red sandstone and granite similar to those of the present building. Benchley drew the plans for the Elks' clubhouse here, the Masonic temple in Fullerton and other buildings. Supervisor William E. Schumacher is given credit for the commission going to the north end of the country as well as the board in general, which shows a disposition duly to recognize this section. MRS. CAMP'S SISTER DEAD Mrs. Emma A. Anderson, sister of Mrs. E. B. Camp, is dead at her home in Alameda. The dead woman made many friends. Validation by R. R. Commission Appears Solution to Anaheim Co.'s Problem Validation by the State Railroad Commission of the 125 shares of new stock issued by the West Anaheim Water Company appeared to be the solution of the conflict between the petitioning stockholders and the company, following the hearing before Examiner Hugh Gordon of the commission. The petitioners have 10 days or to July 6, in which to file abridief and the petitioners then five days more in which to reply to the answer. Nevertheless, Earl C. Dutton, who represented the petitioners, of whom he is one, declared that the stock had been issued contrary to law in that the permission of the commission had not been previously obtained, and indicated that the company could be prosecuted through the district attorney's office if formal complaints were made. The best interests of all concerned, however, make such a complaint unlikely. Certain witnesses also indicated yesterday that if water were withdrawn they would sluk wells of their own, which might seriously interfere with the supply of the company from whose underground sources they would draw. These witnesses include consumers who have been getting the water for years, although not stockholders up to the time of the issuance of the 125 shares of new stock. J. B. Stewart, one of the four petitioners, testified that before the insue of new stock he had been receiving an hour and one-half each time of irrigation, whereas afterward the time was cut to an hour. He made no protest, but then began to get his water from the Anaheim Union Water Company. He would not say that he had been refused water. The question whether there was enough water was not cleared up, partly because the supply this year is admittedly larger than usual. Among the additional witnesses late yesterday who testified were City Manager O. E. Steward, Walter L. Amstutz, Supervisor William E. Schumacher, John P. Stewart., Robert Jansen, secretary of the company, who was recalled to the stand, Chas. Eygabroad, a director, and W. H. Houts. MORE NEW CROWN STAGES The Crown Stage Line will have a second Fageol bus of the new type this week and two more within 60 days, says Manager L. H. Shute. The first of the busses has created much interest. The busses are used on the Santa Ana-Los Angeles line passing through here. They are practically non-overturnable, accommodate 23 passengers, are much more convenient to enter because of being low-advertising department. Directors Hold 72 Meetings on Affairs of Community in 12 Months Directors of the C. of C. are finishing work of the organization preparatory to the incoming of new members of the board who will be selected in the annual election to take place soon. The year has been a busy one for the directors and for the committee called to service. Seventy-two meetings of the board were held and probably hundreds of committee meetings on the affairs of the community. In order to close the books of the organization, all members who have not paid their subscriptions for the year are being asked to pay up and a large number of new members are being sought by the workers in the annual campaign which got under way this morning. Many problems and opportunities face the incoming directors. They will need the united support of the entire community. When the time devoted to the affairs of the community by the committeemen and directors is considered it can readily be seen that if they were to be paid for their work the C. of C. would have to multiply its income many times to stand the cost. The real value of the chamber, it is being pointed out by the workers, is the contribution of the ideas, judgment and effort of the individual citizen along with his subscription of money. In the election to fill the six vacancies on the board every member will be given the opportunity to nominate candidates from the entire list of members whose names will all be printed on the primary ballot which will be mailed to every member. The only requirement for voting is that the member be in good standing by paying up his dues. "What would the people of Anaheim think if the C. of C. were to spend $120,000.00 per year?" President Riley was asked. "That is one per cent of the estimated actual value of the property assessable for taxes in Anaheim. Many large corporation spend sums exceeding one per cent of their total investments on their sales and advertising. If Anaheim were to spend one percent of its total assets it would spend annually the huge sum of $120,000.00." "We seldom think of our community as the Immense corporation it is. For instance, in addition to the figures represented above, Anaheim has invested approximately a round million dollars in just one of its branches of activity—its publis school plants." "The committees of workers in the C. of C. campaign which swung into action today in preparation for the third year of that organization's existence, point to the C. of C. as one of the most important departments of the city's activities—its sales and advertising department." Benchley drew the plans for the Elks' clubhouse here, the Masonic temple in Fullerton and other buildings. Supervisor William E. Schumacher is given credit for the commission going to the north end of the county as well as the board in general, which shows a disposition duly to recognize this section. MRS. CAMP'S SISTER DEAD Mrs. Emma A. Anderson, sister of Mrs. E. B. Camp, is dead at her home in Alameda. The dead woman made many friends on a visit here about a year ago. MORE NEW CROWN STAGES The Crown Stage Line will have a second Pageol bus of the new type this week and two more within 60 days, says Manager L. H. Shute. The first of the busses has created much interest. The busses are used on the Santa Ana-Los Angeles line passing through here. They are practically non-overturnable, accommodate 23 passengers, are much more convenient to enter because of being low-slung and possessing wide doors and have special brakes.

Since Anaheim is owned by all of its citizens they have a direct interest, financially and otherwise, in the one department which is primarily organized to promote and develop it, their C. of C. That is especially so, say the chamber's boosters, when we consider that instead of $120,000.00 a year, we can just knock off the one hundred thousand and get a live, strong, modern and efficient C. of C. for the samill sum of $20,000.00." President, Harry Riley said he thought the above was a cracking good way to put the argument for a good C. of C. but that it is weak in one point and that is that it makes it look like we can buy a C. of C. "You can't buy a successful C. of C. with any amount of money," he said. "What makes a good C. of C. is what makes a good town and that is live, wide awake citizens giving of their time and working to make the town what it ought to be. "What we need is not only the money subscription, it is the subscription of interest, thought and co-operation along with the promise to pay the cost of ap picture show a week or a few cigars a week, which is all the membership dues of $25 a year really amounts to."

CLAIMS ON ANAHEIM The claims of the C. of C. upon the city were set forth in interesting fashion again today by J. H. Blackmore, campaign manager of the American City Bureau, in a speech at the luncheon meeting of the Kiwanis club in the Elks' club house. Blackmore spoke along the lines which he followed yesterday before the Rotary club, but at fuller length. The uses of a C. of C., its value to a city, and more specifically what the local chamber has done and is doing for Anaheim were dwelt upon by the speaker. It was learned today that a special meeting of the directors last evening the new Oil Tool Service Manufacturing Co., which is building a plant at Santa Ana street and the Santa Fe tracks, was endorsed. The chamber will put its resources at the disposal of the company to aid the project. Secretary G. R. Messias of the Kiwanis read a letter today from A. B. McCord, the official delegate to the annual international convention at Toronto, Can. The special California train reached Chicago on the 18th, and the Californians were entertained raysally by the Chicago Kiwanians, said McCord, with a chicken dinner at the Canadian club. There were big demonstrations also at Oakland, Ogden and Omaha en route. The train reached the convention city on June19. The committee on the minstrel show to be held next fall, on a date and at a place not yet precisely chosen, reported progress in the preparations. The club has decided upon a barbecue at Orange-co park on July 20. Glen B. Churchill of Fort Dodge, Iowa, here in the interest of his business, was a guest. He expects to attend the next seven or eight meetings. There will be no speaker next week. LOSES CONTROL OF COUPE·HITS POLE $7500 Ransom Demanded for Each Kidnaped American by Rebel Chief WASHINGTON, June 27 — Forty American citizens and property valued at $250,000 owned by the Cortez Oil Co. are being held for ransome by the Mexican insurgents, Gen. Gorozabe, according to reports reaching here today. The Mexican chief is said to have 240 well-armed men under his command and to have seized the district in which the Americans and their property are located. The United States state department has made formal demand on the Obregon government for immediate action to rescue the Americans, punish the bandits and protect the property. There is also an international complication possible over the report that Mexican censors held up news of the outrage until the time limit set by the bandits could not be complied with. The Cortez property is in the neighborhood of Tampico. A ransom of 15,000 pesos — about $7500—in demand within 48 hours, and the threat is made that severe measures will be taken if the money is not forthcoming. This report comes from Americcan Consul Shaw, at Tampico. The camp of the Cortez Oil Co., which was seized by the rebel is at Aguade. No Mexican troops are in the vicinity and the lives of the Americans are believed to be in danger. The company has appealed to the American authorities for protection. Secretary of State Hughes has instructed Charge d'Affaires Summerlin at Mexico City to make the most urgent representations to the Mexican government. The consul at Tampico likewise has been ordered to take all possible steps to procure the immediate release of the Americans and the abandonment of the camp. ALIBI OFFERED IN STATUTORY HEARING An alibi was offered today before Superior Judge R. R. Williams by Attorney Bodkin of Los Angeles, representing Lee Barnes, charged with a statutory offense against a nine-year-old girl at Seal Beach.
