The prisoner, his wife and two children were in the house. County trucks were employed to bring the quarry back to Santa Ana where, on display in front of the sheriff's office, it created considerable attention. Two score or more five-gallon empty cans also were banked near the still, while the liquor that was confiscated also was in five-gallon cans. A neat arrangement had been affected in the basement of the dwelling, where the still itself poured out its illicit product. Great quantities of cereals, yeast and sugar were stored nearby.

All declared or intimated that prosperity even now was quite general in the United States, altho the Southland had not yet returned to its peak of activity. H. H. Benjamin of the First National, when asked whether the forecasts made by the five local banks and published in the Plain Dealer just before the November election had been verified, said that in the country generally they had been. Benjamin quoted from the Wall Street Journal of New York which pointed out that small grains were still rising and that Russia had just ordered 500,000 barrels of flour from Canada because of a wheat crop shortage. No locality, however, Benjamin pointed out, was quite normal when facing an election. Un Certainty existed always. The Wall Street Journal of Jan. I published a symposium of opinions of bankers to the effect that national and world prosperity in 1925 was sure. Herbert Hawley of the Southern County Bank also was inclined to think that by May or June So. Calif., would be back on the crest of prosperity. At present loans here were a little slow, he averred. Hawley's bank had a remarkable year in 1924. B. E. Smith of the Golden State National quoted three different opinions all to the same effect that conditions had improved markedly since last November throughout the country. Two of these were from traveling men and the third from the credit man of one of the big Los Angeles banks. These men agreed that prosperity worthy of So. Calif., would return within four or five months. A. B. McCord of the Anaheim National Bank was inclined to accept the view that within six months So. Calif., would be back nationally higher total achieved in December over December, 1924. Whitaker regards this showing as significant.
