Germany, in her note to the interallied reparations commission three days ago, intolimated that while she had the money to pay today's installment of indemnity, she would injure her financial position if she did so. The French representatives made it plain to Germany that she must pay up, no matter what the consequences were. The 50,000,000 gold marks ($12,500,00) was paid in gold through the reichstag. C.

INQUEST TODAY OVER CYPRESS MAN An inquest will be held this afternoon at the Backs, Terry & Campbell funeral parlors on North Lemon-st over the body of Charles Treuleb who dropped dead yesterday at Cypress. He was 59 years old, and had been a resident of the vicinity of Cypress for 17 years, being a native of Russia. Funeral services will be held at 2 o'clock Monday afternoon from the funeral parlors.

C.OF C.MAKES RILEY HEAD AGAIN The first meeting of the new board of Anaheim Chamber of Commerce was ahead last night at its offices with Messrs. Ahloua, Backs, Benjamin, Eygabroad, Evans, Berger, Riley and Yungbluth present. The principal order of business was the election of officers for the ensuing year which resulted as follows: President, Harry D. Riley; Vice-President, Ronaine C. Berger; Treasurer, A. B. McCord; Secretary, Malcom A. Fresner. Before the baloting for president, material for that office was canvassed thoroughly and five out of the nine directors present insisted that Mr. Riley undertake the duties of that office for the third time. He protested vigorously, stating that his duties in the Rotary Club and in the Crippled Children's Relief Association called for really more time than he can give. He felt that a new president would give more effective work to the Chamber during its third year. After prolonged and heated debating a secret ballot was taken which gave Mr. Riley 6 votes, Mr. Yungbluth 1 and Mr. Adams 1. The original motion nominating Mr. Riley was made by Mr. Ahlborn and seconded by Mr. Eygabroad and after the ballot, the latter moved that Mr. Riley be unanimously elected, which was done. The election of Mr. Berger as Vice-President and of Messrs. McCord and Fraser were made unanimous, viva voce. Director Ahlborn read a partly formulated working plan for the financial expenditures of the Chamber under a budget system and the following committee was appointed by the chair to present a finished plan at the next meeting of the board to be held Friday, July 21: J. F. Ahlborn, F. A. Backs and V. D. Loly, they to work with the President and Secretary in forming their plans. Dr. W. L. Spates was elected a member of the Chamber, his application having been presented by Mr. Ahlborn as a Committee on Committees which is to select the various OVER CYPRESS MAN An inquest will be held this afternoon at the Backs, Terry & Campbell funeral parlors on North Lemon-st over the body of Charles Treulelb who dropped dead yesterday at Cypress.

Loly, auditor for the California Valencia Orange Show, last night issued a report of the financial status of the show which was read to the new board of directors of Anaheim Chamber of Commerce at its meeting last night and which will be presented at a meeting of the Executive committee of the Show, to be called within a few days to close up the affairs of the 1922 Exposition: Anaheim, Cal., July 10, 1922 Calif. Valencia Orange Show, Anaheim, California. MOORE TO BE HERE NEXT TUESDAY Charles C. Moore, candidate for the republican nomination as United States Senator from California, will appear in Anaheim at the Elks' club-house next Tuesday, as a guest at a luncheon given under the auspices of the Kiwanis club. The invitation to visit Anaheim and appear before the voters of the district was extended by Charles Eygabroad and Malcom Frazer, and is non-partisan in its import. It will not be given in the interests of Mr. Moore's candidacy, but rather to acquaint the citizens of the community with Moore, and give them opportunity. Calif. Flapper, 105, With Bobbed Hair SAN FRANCISCO, July 15—California boasts of the oldest living flapper. She is Jennie Pie, 105 years old, full blooded Chow Chilla Indian squaw who has her luxuriant white hair bobbed in the prevailing mode of the day. Although getting on in age and admittedly a little feeble, Jennie, from her chair in the Madera county hospital, enthusiastically voices her approval of flapperism. PUT GERMAN BACK INTO SCHOOL California Valencia Orange Show, last night issued a report of the financial status of the show which was read to the new board of directors of Anaheim Chamber of Commerce at its meeting last night and which will be presented at a meeting of the Executive committee of the Show, to be called within a few days to close up the affairs of the 1922 Exposition: Anaheim, Cal., July 10, 1922 Calif. Valencia Orange Show, Anaheim, California. Dear Sirs: I beg to inform you that I have audited the accounts of the 1922 California Valencia Orange Show. Treasurer's books have been verified with bank statements and checked against warrants issued by manager, segregation of disbursements and receipts have been examined. I hereby certify that Treasurer's and Manager's accounts are in exact balance as shown by attached statements. I attach hereto: Statement of Receipts and Disbursements of the 1922 California Valencia Orange Show which leaves the cash balance remaining $1,447.55, to this amount should be added the -2,000.00 increase in salvaged equipment and material carried forward, together with further donation of $1,000 promised by the county supervisors, making a total of $4,447.55. Comparing this amount with the $4,740 subscribed proves that the net loss on this year's show amounts to $298.45 only, which in my opinion is extremely satisfactory. I also attach statement showing disbursements or cash balance remaining from previous year, together with statement showing Assets and Liabilities as standing on June 30, 1922. I understand from the manager that the sali (Continued on Page Four) Charles C. Moore, candidate for the republican nomination as United States Senator from California, will appear in Anaheim at the Elks' clubhouse next Tuesday, as a guest at a luncheon given under the auspices of the Kiwanis club. The invitation to visit Anaheim and appear before the voters of the district was extended by Charles Eygabroad and Malcom Frazer, and is non-partisan in its import. It will not be given in the interests of Mr. Moore's candidacy, but rather to acquaint the citizens of the community with Moore, and give them opportunity to learn of his political principles at first hand. The affair will start at 12:10 o'clock Tuesday afternoon. "We feel that it will be a good opportunity for the voters of Anaheim to see and hear Mr. Moore, and learn what he stands for in his race for the Senate," said Eygabroad. "The Kiwanis club is not extending its invitation in a partisan spirit, but rather to give the community a chance to get acquainted with a candidate for such a great office as representative in the Senate. "Mr. Moore is rated as a good business man, a loyal citizen of California and the United State, and one who is keenly alive to the affairs of our state and nation. It should be the privilege of Anaheim voters to judge for themselves by having Mr. Moore here in person, and we feel that he will be welcomed to Anaheim by all good citizens, regardless of their political affiliations and leanings. "We hope that following Mr. Moore other candidates can in turn be prevailed on to place Anaheim on their itinerary, if only for brief visits and luncheon gatherings such as we plan for next Tuesday."

PUT GERMAN BACK INTO SCHOOLS Three petitions that are being circulated by the German-Americans to Anaheim parents who have children of high school age, will be submitted to the high school board of trustees at their next meeting. German was one of the main romance languages studies in the high schools throughout the county but at the time of the World War the language was ousted from the studies. The petitioners for the signatures have met with good success in obtaining these names and reasons why this language should once more be resumed in the schools of today follow: PETITION Whereas, Neither England nor France at any time during or after the war has taken any action prohibiting the study of German, and Whereas, Other cities and states of our country (not dominated by the war historia) have also not prohibited, but continued the teaching of German, and Whereas, England and France have actually encouraged the study of German for reasons of including self-protection, scientific investigation, the development of commerce and the cultural value accruing from the study of any great literature, and Whereas, the state of war between the U.S.A. and Germany has been declared at an end more than three years ago, and whereas friendly relations between the U.S.A. and Germany are necessary to the world's peace and can be best promoted by a mutual understanding which comes from a familiarity with each other's language, laws and customs. We, the undersigned citizens of the A.H.S.District, do hereby petition the Hon. Board of Education to put the study of German back into the high school curriculum, this coming school year. SHOWER IN TOWN GIVES FOLKS THRILL Local people were very much surprised this morning to hear it thunder, and see streaks of lightning. HE'S PANS WHILE HE WEAVES BETTER By the Mysterious Cowboy AS I SKETCHED the visage of Mr. Earl Farris there came to my mind a striking likeness of George Washington. Study his classical features and tell me if you do not agree with me that he is the image of "the father of his country." Truthfully, that is no mean send off and if we search further for the truth we find it in every corner of his neat little shop. Earl Farris, besides having distinguished features, has distinguished himself for the capable manner in which he builds deigns and repairs auto tops. He has a most singular knowledge of this craft because he is engrossed in his work and because he specializes in the design and construction of the "top of the car." Coming here from Long Beach more than two years ago, Mr. Farris opened his place of business at 226 South Los Angeles street. From the very start his workmanship and his all around courteous service pleased his clients, and thus we find him today with a goodly amount of business on hand and with the most competent of help to assist in pleasing the public and building up a very skilled and useful business. Keeping up appearances in the auto world—that is the work assigned to Mr. Earl Farris and his workers. He brightens your car with his dexterity, and he makes the shabby auto a pleasant thing to look upon rather than an eye sore. If you have an auto with a good engine but with indifferent dress, then by all means take it to the works of Mr. Farris and he will transform it into a respectable highway vehicle. Auto trimming of all kinds; auto tops and auto tops is his middle name; seat covers; general trimming for the auto; installation of glass in tonneau windshields; the best of service in upholstering and last but not least is his great skill in covering the body of an auto with leather that most advantageous custom that is being seen more and more now days. Body covering embraces many distinct features when it comes to preservation of the auto. And then as the cartoon will so eloquently suggest, he is at the "top" of the list when it comes to making the new famous California Tops. Mr. Farris has a most useful and dexterous occupation. It is nothing more than a specialty, but it is a specialty that requires years of training to master. His work is the work that gladdens the heart of the auto owner after the old car has aged and faded, or perhaps been wrecked. We, the undersigned citizens of the A. H. S. District, do hereby petition the Hon. Board of Education to put the study of German back into the high school curriculum, this coming school year. SHOWER IN TOWN GIVES FOLKS THRILL Local people were very much surprised this morning to hear it thunder, and see streaks of lightning across the eastern sky. A mid summer shower followed, which made the old folks scurry for shelter and little folks revel in the downpour. "They" said for a time that "all the kids will be in the streets today." But the rain did not last long, scarcely laying the dust, and instead of bringing cool weather, as was hoped, was followed by a heat wave, the thermometer jumping to 94. Little showers at this time of the year is becoming nothing unusual of late years. A heavier shower than this fell on July 20 last year. FIRE TODAY IN WALTER ROSS HOME A fire broke out today shortly before 1 o'clock in the home of Walter J. Ross, 406 East Adelaide-st., and burned a hole in the roof before being extinguished. The fire department was called out, but the fire was under control by the time they arrived. The damage was slight, and was covered by insurance. It is not known how the fire originated. 32 MORE MEMBERS JOIN CONCORDIA The Anaheim Concordia society at its meeting last night, initiated 32 new members, which indicates again, says President Fritz Horbach, the popularity of the new clubhouse. Many new inquiries for membership again were received. The club will begin on its outside improvements soon and start planting the park this fall. Tonight a grand ball will be held with Schmidt's orchestra furnishing the music. If it's from Witman's it's good. ealer ANGE COUNTY BUILDING PERMITS TELL STORY OF ANAHEIM'S GROWTH Year 1921.....$1,254,875 No. of Permits.....802 Year 1920.....879,960 No. of Permits.....504 TWENTY-SIXTH YEAR FOR DAM SAN BERNARDINO, ORANGE RIVERSIDE TAKE ACTION At a thronged meeting of representative business men of Riverside, Orange and San Bernardino counties at Corona last night, sentiment was shown practically unanimous in favor of the proposed Boulder Canyon dam project, provided for in the Johnson-Swing $70,000,000 bill. The meeting was called to order by Chester Harding president of the Riverside Chamber of Commerce. He referred to the three counties as "the three friends". Harding introduced Supervisor Tom Talbert as chairman of the evening. 59 CARLOADS 59 CARLOADS OF ORANGES SHIPPED The largest shipments of Valencias oranges in several weeks were made this week from the Anaheim district. A total of 59½ cars were taken by the Santa Fe and Southern Pacific, with a carload and one half of lemons. This aggregate is considered all the more remarkable because of the fact that one of the independent houses didn't ship at all. Prices continued excellent throut out the six days, with a tendency if anything toward higher levels. The market on Valencias continues to gain strength. All markets are well cleaned up and arrivals are eagerly taken by the trade. There are in the neighborhood of 4500 cars of Valencias remaining for shipment. These will be spread out over July, August, September and October and are expected to bring record returns. F. o. b. quotations are on the following basis for fancy stock: Sizes 200s and larger, $9.00; 216s, $7.50; 250s, $8.00; 288s, $7.00; smaller sizes $6.25 per box. Choice fruit 75c per box than above prices. Navels are dropping heavily in some districts while in others the drop is comparatively light, making it impossible to derive an estimate on the crop with any degree of accuracy. The Mutual Orange Distributors at a meeting held in Redlands this week estimate the coming crop as 50 percent of normal, based on observation over the entire field covered by them. The market on California lemons looks a little healthier than a week ago. The markets are cleaning up, supplies out are reduced and the general situation looks more compromising. The great difficulty has been that weather conditions have been such that the markets have been slow to clean up. What is needed is hot weather of sufficient duration to put new life into the market. F. o. b. quotations range from $4.75 to $5.25 per box on best grades. There are on hand and available for sale within the next 30 days approx. Talbert outlined the things which the three counties had in common. The Santa Ana river shed was, he said, the greatest in the South. It was the foremost of Los Angeles in securing water rights which made possible the development of the city. Newport Harbor was the foundation, he declared, for much of the future prosperity of the three counties. At the State fair the three counties found a common exhibit made the best sort of impression. The three counties should consider, he said, the plan of a joint lecture on the subject for their chamber of commerce. Former Senator S. C. Evans, now mayor of Riverside, who was the next man introduced, declared that the Boulder Canyon dam project was the biggest thing the counties could aid in today. It would make possible the development, he said, of the biggest tract in the West. Boulder Canyon was the nearest point available to the center of population of the states concerned. The light, heat and power which it would provide would be open for all seven states to use. Secretary Fall was quoted as saying that the greatest care should be taken in investigating the different projects. All representatives in Congress should be asked why they were there and what they stood for. The Boulder Canyon site had been very thoroughly tested. Evans said it had been shown that a dam 300 feet wide and 600 feet high would be furnish enough water to irrigate 2,010,000 acres of water. The dam can be still higher, if necessary. Glen canyon, 250 miles further up the river, which is sponsored by same would not offer nearly the capacity. Eastern senators apparently don't understand the problems involved in the big dam project and hence are apathetic, he said. Boulder canyon will take all the water that comes down from the river for the next three years, and if all of the silt were retained, it would require 300 years to fill up the dam. Fall declared further according to the speaker, that no state by itself should be permitted to attempt such an expenditure of money as would be necessary. The national government should be in charge. The first need for the dam is protection, said Mayor Evans, of the Imperial Valley. If the Volcano Lake dam should break, Imperial Valley would be wiped out, and the Salton Sea would be extended all the way to Indio. President Harding himself had declared that such a catastrophe Young Schutz After Operation Improved Although in a comatose condition, Robert Schutz is slightly improved today following an operation performed late yesterday afternoon at the Anaheim sanitarium. Considerable pressure was relieved and it is thought he now will be on the road to recovery before many more hours pass. Lying unconscious and in a stupor since his serious injury Tuesday noon, when he was hurled from his motorcycle while going to work, young Schutz has at no time been rational. He is continually guarded as he tosses on his bed. EMBEZZLEMENT CASE IS SET FOR OCT. 23 October 23 has been set by Superior Judge K. S. Mahon for the trial of B. M. Murphy, accused of embezzling on a $4,000 note given by Fred Walker of Nuevo to W. H. Baymiller of Los Angeles, president of a colonization company with holdings in Tehama county. Walker gave the note in part payment for a $10,000 tract. Murphy agreed later to purchase 10 acres from Walker in Orange county, it was alleged, and use the money to buy it. STUDEBAKER SALES Harry D. Riley reports the sale of new Studebaker cars to the following: Light six roadster, T. F. Waller, Fullerton; light six touring, A. Johnson of Anaheim; big six touring, Mark M. Menges of Fullerton. Witman, Eyesight specialist. Fall declared further according to the speaker, that no state by itself should be permitted to attempt such an expenditure of money as would be necessary. The national government should be in charge. The first need for the dam is protection, said Mayor Evans, of the Imperial Valley. If the Volcano Lake dam should break, Imperial Valley would be wiped out, and the Salton Sea would be extended all the way to Indio. President Harding himself had declared that such a catastrophe would be a crime. Irrigation was the second benefit from the dam. Energy the third. Full 600,000 horsepower would be provided by the damned waters. President Criswell of the Los Angeles city council, the next speaker, said that Los Angeles was perfectly willing to have the Department of the Interior allocate the power to the seven states interested. 60 per cent of the total at first and the balance later as development warrants. But if no other source wishes to undertake the project, Los Angeles is willing to do so and obtain all the power and pay every cent of the cost. It would take approximately two years to get started and three to five years more to build the dam. Preparation of the base of supplies alone was an important matter. Secretary Fall proposed a Federal bond issue to pay for the dam, with states paying for the transmission lines. Of these 250 to 280 miles to So. Calif., would be necessary. Criswell estimated that in three years Los Angeles would be the third most important manufacturing city of the county instead of the tenth, if the metropolis obtained the power. Mayor Evans declared that county lines fast were disappearing and that the future would witness one solid community from Riverside to the ocean. Power will be cheap and may interfere with some lines of business. But laws already interfere with compensation, speeding, etc. Arizona would like to build the dam themselves so as to obtain the taxes upon it. Secretary Herbert Hoover was quoted as saying that only the federal government was strong enough to put the project thru. Watch and jewelry repairing. Witman's.
