WHEN THRU WITH YOUR PLAIN DEALER, MAIL IT TO EASTERN FRIENDS—IT MAY BRING THEM TO ANAHEIM, FASTEST GROWING CITY IN ORANGE COUNTY. Plain LEADING NEW VOL. XXVXI—NO. 128 PETITIONS FLYING BACK AND FORTH IN STAGE BATTLE Speaking of competition, they have it in the motor stage business. In fact, it's a merry little war. Sometime ago, at the instance of the Crown Stage line, the railroad commission ordered the Motor Transit Co. to cease operating between Anaheim and Santa Ana on the ground it had no franchise. SO. AFRICAN VISITS OUR GROVES L. W. du Toit, representing the Golden Valley Citrus Estates of Natal, South Africa, is in Anaheim to look over the citrus packing house industry with the plan of organizing association packing houses in his country along the same lines The Motor Transit Co. appealed to the courts and the supreme court finally handed down a decision upholding the railroad commission in the matter. Within the last few days, there been circulated in the interest of the Motor Transit Co. petitions asking the railroad commission to order passengers hauled from Santa Ana to Anaheim on Crown stages transferred here from one car to another before proceeding to Los Angeles on the ground that the Crown Stage was operating under two franchises, one between Anaheim and Santa Ana and one between Anaheim and Los Angeles. Yesterday, petitions put in their appearance on Crown stages to contrevert this move so that Santa Ana passengers may continue to keep their seats from Santa Ana to Los Angeles. VISITS OUR GROVES L. W. du Toit, representing the Golden Valley Citrus Estates of Natal, South Africa, is in Anaheim to look over the citrus packing house industry with the plan of organizing association packing houses in his country along the same lines and methods. He says that the citrus industry in the Union of South Africa is beginning to flourish and that there are a number of private packing houses, but no association packing houses yet organized. He arrived in San Francisco via Australia and New Zealand early this month, and expects to remain in So. Calif., six or eight months, may be longer, studying the methods used here by the citrus men. He is a booster for his home country, saying that he is surprised that more people do not come out there. He said that the place is well adapted for citrus fruits, and that as yet none of the lands run higher than $250 an acre, and that this is quite an unusual figure. As a rule, land is very cheap, since there is so much of it unsettled. He says there is a town about every 100 miles with large farms or ranches between. A farm of 35,000 acres is nothing unusual. Native labor is used almost exclusively, however, white men being used in foremen. Mr. du Toit is a native of the country, having been in near Cape Town. He says that business in the Union is pretty good, there being little after-the-war effects to be seen now. There are some very big citrus orchards, exporting from private concerns, and he thinks there is a bright future for the industry. He also says that the diamond industry continues to be a big source of wealth, the Kimberley mines showing a big output. South Africa also produces three fourths of the gold of the world, he says. He said, however, that his country has nothing like the paved roads or California; the highways being bad in comparison to these here. However, there are fairly good railroad facilities. The railroad now goes north thru Rhodesia by Zambezi fall to British East Africa, and lacks only a little of connecting with the railway from Egypt. The Cape to Calre railway will soon become a fact, he thinks, which will make possible a trip from Cape Town to Paris by rail. NEW CAR SMASHED IN MIDNIGHT CRASH JOINS BROTHER ON LONG BEACH PAPER Oscar T. Conklin, former business manager of Anaheim Daily Herald and for the past few months the very effective and enterprising secretary of the Anaheim Retail Merchants Protective Ass'n., leaves this city today to join with his brother Sidney in the management of the Long Beach Telegram, one of the largest and most prosperous daily newspapers in Southern California. He made this announcement today to Anaheim Chamber of Commerce and Retail Merchants' Association. Mr. Conklin, besides the activities mentioned, has been intimately connected with Anaheim Kiwanis, having been the moving factor in the building up of this effective organization. He acted as chairman for many months, infusing into Kiwanis much of his genial and resourceful spirit. His many friends receive the news of his departure from Anaheim with great regret. It is understood that Mr. Conklin will divide his energies in the Long Beach Telegram between the editorial and business departments taking a strong hand in each. LONG BEACH MAN SERIOUSLY INJURED O.
