All engineers and city lerton, Orange and present with except Marsden of Fullettor. Approval was given between Anaheim construction and Pointing out the fact that Valencia Orange prices in the eastern markets have improved better than 50 cents per box in the last 10 days over the previous extreme low point, William Webster, manager of the Anaheim Valencia Growers' Ass'n., announced today the sale in Baltimore yesterday of the ass'n. first carload to reach the East at $6.25 for Lincolns and $5.50 for Websters, the two Sunkist brands of the organization. The Robert E. Lee is the choice brand not shipped under the Sunkist wrapper. A few days ago Webster signed up a dozen growers, each taking stock and handling over his acreage to the organization. The new association has shipped out only 10 cars thus far, largely because of the low market, and in so doing has saved its growers considerable money. Webster asserts. The Anaheim district is 100 cars behind its shipments of last year for the same reason. The head of the new association is optimistic about the possibilities of the Southern Orange belt. He declared today that within the next two years there would be room for three more packing houses between La-Habra and Tustin. He deplored the fact, however, that between 400 and 500 cars of oranges are carted out of the Anaheim district every year by cash purchasers, whose prices usually are bettered by the packing house organizations long before the season is finished. Webster advises growers to take advantage of the rises in the orange market. He himself anticipates that the market, as usual, will advance for months to come. Workmen soon will start work adding a sweating room to the new packing house on East Center-st. The house, with a basement under the entire building, giving double the usual ventilating space, can store fruit for 10 days instead of four or five. The capacity of the house is five cars per day. The season here really lasts only six months, according to Webster, who for many years covered this section and others as inspector connected with the educational service of the California Fruit Growers exchange. As an exchange association, Anaheim Valencia Growers' Ass'n., is putting at the service of its growers all the exchange information available from day to day.

WICKETT KIWANIS LUNCHEON SPEAKER Japan—a country Lilliputian in people, trees, houses, etc. Korea—a land whose people always are clad in the white of mourning. China—the Chinese wall failed to keep out China's enemies, but kept in the Chinese. Egypt—the pyramids were erected by piling sand up to the level of each story as it was completed. 7 COACHES PILED INTO DITCH Rails Spread Under Lodge Special Going 45 Miles an Hour DURAND, Mich., June 5.—Five persons were killed and 55 injured today when a special Granda Trunk train bearing Knights Templar to a convention at Flint, was wrecked near here.

Seven of the nine coaches left the track and are piled up in a mass of wreckage. WICKETT KIWANES LUNCHEON SPEAKER Japan—a country Lilliputian in people, trees, houses, etc. Korea—a land whose people always are clad in the white of mourning. China—the Chinese wall failed to keep out China's enemies, but kept in the Chinese. Egypt—The pyramids were erected by piling sand up to the level of each story as it was completed. India—The land of filth, due largely to religious superstitions that forbid the killing of life. In an interesting talk, Dr. W. H. Wickett, back recently from a world tour with Mrs. Wickett, today outlined his travels to Kiwanians at their regular luncheon meeting in the Elks' clubhouse. He had a large quantity of curios which he showed to the curious after the meeting. Edward Abhiwele, chairman of the classification committee, was in charge of the program. Other features of the meeting were: Receiving of a Visitation Cup from Ed Culman of the Los Angeles club, to be passed on to the Fullerton club at the end of a week by Dave Jersurun and hence around the county and state; reading of the biography of Major W. H. DeSombre, retired officer of the U. S. Army and for eight years in the postal service, Ly Postmaster J. F. Ahlborn; and announcement by Arthur A. Cohen, captain of the nine, that the club now was a member of the Y. M. C. A. baseball league of 10 teams, and won its first game last evening with the Home Oil team by 29 to 9. To return to Dr. Wickett's speech, The Koreans always are in mourning for relatives, because while the mourning period is only once in seven years there are so many relatives that one period begins before the previous one ends. The robes quickly become unclean, so the women always are washing, even cutting holes thru the ice for the purpose. There are no stoves of the ordinary kind, and hot stones are put into holes under the floor to obtain heat. China—The Chinese wall is 4,000 miles long and wide enough for a couple of autos to travel abreast. It kept the Chinese in, who otherwise might have populated much of the earth now occupied by other more desirable nations. Peking money is not good in Canton, etc., so one has to be careful not to load up too heavily with money issued by a given city while one is there. India—The filth is horrible. One sect even prefers to bathe in the Ganges where the newer empties, regarding it as more religious to do so. No self-respecting oug, said the speaker, quoting Mark Twain, would live in such places, and maybe that accounts for disease, bad as it is, being no worse. DURAND, Mich., June 5.—Five persons were killed and 55 injured today when a special Grand Trunk train bearing Knights Templar to a convention at Flint, was wrecked near here. The dead: John E. Rickson, Knight Templar, Iongi; H. J. Weldon, 40, Knight Templar, Ioina; Frank Pearsell engineer; Joseph Parker, fireman, and an unidentified newsboy. Seven of the nine coaches left the track and are piled up in a mass of wreckage. Harry Smith travelling engineer for the Grand Trunk railroad, and a Mr. Nichols and wife, of St. Louis, were seriously injured and are expected to die. The Nichols are both 90 years old. The train was traveling at 45 miles an hour when the wreck occurred. The train was wrecked on the outskirts of Durand by a spreading rail. The engine plunged into a ditch and the baggage car and six coaches piled on top of it. The 300 Knights Templar were thrown into a panic and many escaped by a miracle. The wrecked coaches were so entangled with each other that rescuers made little headway at first. Several acetylene torches were used to cut openings through which the less seriously injured crawled to safety. Scores imprisoned beneath the cars filled the air with their groanes and cries of terror as the wreckage suddenly burst into flames, started by the torches. The rural fire department was called and extinguished the fire before it had gained headway. The engineer and fireman were buried beneath the wreckage. Erickson and Weldon were riding in the baggage car with the news agent and were instantly killed. The agent was scalded to death by escaping steam. The less seriously injured were rushed to hospitals in Flint and Owasso. It was believed late today that all the injured had been rescued, but men were still forcing their way into the wreckage. The train bore commanderies of Knights Templar from Munsekon, Grand Rapids, St. Johns and Iona, which were on their way to the state convention at Flint.
