It is noticeable in the foregoing tables that Orange County's automobiles increased 4,446 in 1920 over those in 1919, making this county fifth from the top in the graduated list of automobiles in the state. The county will probably move up from the fourteenth class to the tenth in population under the new census.
While noticing that the great county of Los Angeles owns nearly a third of the registered motor vehicles of the entire state, and has nearly twelve times as many as this county, don't overlook the fact that the little county of Orange is fifth in the ownership of cars; that is, there are only four counties in the state with more cars than Orange and fifty-three with less.
The interruption of the mails and other traffic in Orange County for three days during the last week in August, 1919, by a strike of the employees on the steam railroads, points to the following conclusions: (1) No matter how good the county's traffic facilities, they must be utilized and operated in order to be of
110
HISTORY OF ORANGE COUNTY
real benefit to the people. (2) Government ownership per se will not cure labor troubles, for these steam roads were absolutely controlled by the Government, yet such control did not prevent the strike. (3) Government regulation will cure labor troubles, as was seen in the cessation of the strike when the Government issued its mandate without itself owning the roads. However, such regulation should be fairly and squarely administered on behalf of employers, employees and the general public whose patronage pays the bills.
CHAPTER XIX SUNDRY VOLUNTARY ORGANIZATIONS
Orange County Medical Association By Dr. John L. Dryer
The Orange County Medical Association was organized June 13, 1889, just nine days after the election for county division which separated Orange from the mother county of Los Angeles.
The first meeting of physicians was held on that day at two p. m. in the office of Judge Humphreys, a small frame building located where the Sunset Club now stands. Those present were: Dr. W. B. Wall, Dr. J. M. Lacy, Dr. J. A. Crane, Dr. J. P. Boyd, Dr. C. D. Ball, Dr. S. B. Davis and Dr. John L. Dryer, all of Santa Ana.
Dr. J. A. Crane called to order and stated the objects of the meeting.
Dr. W. B. Wall was chosen temporary president, and Dr. J. P. Boyd tem- porary secretary.
The following agreement was drawn up and signed by all present : "We, the undersigned physicians of Orange County, agree to form ourselves into an organization to be known as the Orange County Medical Association, and to be governed by such rules as may be hereafter determined upon."
On motion the secretary was instructed to receive the signatures of Dr. J. R. Medlock of Santa Ana, and Dr. L. H. Fuller. of Tustin, each of whom had signified his intention to be present but was unable to do so.
The following resolution was adopted :
"Resolved, That any regular physician of Orange County against whom no objection is raised at a subsequent meeting, be allowed to participate in the organ- ization of this Association."
Under the foregoing resolution Dr. J. H. Bullard of Anaheim and Dr. W. B. Wood of Orange were received and added to the list of charter members- eleven in all.
The next meeting was held on June 25, following, at which time a Constitu- tion and By-Laws were adopted, and under the permanent organization the fol- lowing officers were elected and installed to serve until the first annual meeting in 1890:
President, Dr. W. B. Wall; Vice-President, Dr. J. M. Laey; Secretary. Dr. J. P. Boyd ; Treasurer, Dr. W. B. Wood.
The first members elected under the Constitution were Dr. I. D. Mills of Santa Ana, and Dr. D. W. Hunt of Anaheim, both in September. On November 5th Dr. J. A. Blake of Fullerton was also elected to membership, but never at- tended any session of the Association.
The year 1889 closed with fourteen members as named on the roll, and no others were added until 1894, while during this period the records show a net loss of three, on account of removal from the county. These were Doctor Blake, above mentioned, Doctor Fuller and Doctor Davis, the last two being charter members.

HISTORY OF ORANGE COUNTY
The first annual meeting was a public one held in Spurgeon's Hall and ad- dressed by Dr. Walter Lindley of Los Angeles, then president of the State Med- ical Society, and Professor (now Judge) Conrey, also of Los Angeles.
In June, 1891, the Association entertained the Medical Society of Southern, California, the meeting and banquet being held in what was then Odd Fellows' Hall, in the First National Bank Building. The sessions were well attended. An excursion about and through the valley was greatly appreciated by the visiting doctors, although there was a marked absence of automobiles. Twice since then the Association has entertained the Southern Society, once in 1897, again with- ont automobiles, and in 1908, when machines were abundant.
From its very beginning to the present time good work, in the preparation of papers, and the presentation of cases for clinical study, has been the rule. The' meetings have been regular and well attended, and even when its membership was- small the attendance was proportional to that of later times, although long drives had to be made with horses from distant towns, to attend the monthly sessions, which have always occurred on the first Tuesday evening of each month.
Until the completion of the Carnegie Library in Santa Ana, the sessions of the Association were usually held in the office of the doctor who was to read the paper or lead in the discussion of a selected topic. For the most part these were in the county seat, though many interesting gatherings were held in surrounding towns.
Since the completion of the Library the sessions when in Santa Ana have been held in the executive committee room of that building, adjoining which, in a convenient alcove, a growing medical library, consisting of several hundred vol- umes, has been established.
Though from the first organization until 1894 the membership declined in numbers, it never fell below the original number-eleven, and from said date the list steadily increased with the growth of the county and enlargement of its towns.
From, and including the first enrollment in 1889, there have been during the thirty and one-half years, ending December 31st. 1919, a total of ninety-one members received, while the present number is forty-four.
A number of physicians have come into the county, affiliated for a time, and then removed to other fields. Since under the rules of the Association such removal terminates membership, it is impossible to give exact duration of one so ended.
Death has dealt kindly with the Association during the period mentioned, and although a large per cent of the original founders were men well advanced in years, but nine active members have been so taken. Of these Dr. J. A. Crane, Dr. W. B. Wall, Dr. J. M. Lacy, and Dr. J. R. Medlock were charter members, and with Dr. Ida B. Parker were ex-presidents. One member was, by a unanimous vote, expelled from the Association for unethical conduct. Of the original charter members there remain on the roll, Dr. C. D. Ball, Dr. J. P. Boyd and Dr. John L. Dryer.
Beginning with the new influx of members in 1894. the list of those received since then is as follows :
1894-J. G. Berneike, L. N. Wheeler, C. W. Rairdon.
1895-A. F. Bradshaw, G. J. Rubleman, L. W. Allingham, F. E. Wilson.

The Orange County Bar Association
By Samuel M. Davis
On October 31, 1901, members of the Bar of Orange County signed a call for a meeting to organize the Orange County Bar Association, to be held on November 22, 1901. The following attorneys signed the call for the meeting : Victor Montgomery, W. F. Heathman, J. W. Towner, Ray Billingsley, Richard Melrose, Z. B. West, E. E. Keech, F. O. Daniel, R. Y. Williams, A. Y. Wright, S. A. Bowes, H. C. Head, Horatio J. Forgy, John N. Anderson, E. T. Langley, W. E. Parker, W. B. Williams, Homer G. Ames, Samuel M. Davis, J. Howard Bell, J. C. Scott, H. S. Peabody.
On November 22, 1901, the following members of the Bar, met in the Court Room of the Superior Court, in the Court House, at Santa Ana, and organized the Orange County Bar Association: Z. B. West, E. E. Keech, F. O. Daniel, R. Y. Williams, Horatio J. Forgy, W. E. Parker, Homer G. Ames, Samuel M. Davis, J. Howard Bell, J. C. Scott.
The first officers of the Association were as follows: President, Victor Mont- gomery ; vice-president, Richard Melrose ; treasurer, R. Y. Williams ; secretary. Horatio J. Forgy. A constitution and by-laws were adopted. F. O. Daniel was duly elected as second president of the Association, and following him in order as presidents were Eugene E. Keech and R. Y. Williams. H. C. Head is now the president of the Bar Association.
Following the secretaryship of H. J. Forgy, J. C. Burke was elected secre- tary, and is now acting secretary of the Association.
The Association has been very active in keeping up the standard of the pro- fession. It has brought to the attention of the courts several of its members and 6
114
HISTORY OF ORANGE COUNTY
other attorneys practicing in the county, who had violated certain sections of the Codes, relating to the practice of the law, and had been accused of unethical methods of practice. It has continuously and consistently attempted to raise the standard of the profession, especially in regard to the honorable practice of the law.
This Bar Association was active in having one of the attorneys practicing in the county disbarred for reprehensible conduct after he had been admitted to practice by the Appellate Court of the Third District. It was shown afterwards that he had practiced fraudulent and surreptitious methods of gaining admission. The disbarment of this attorney caused the entire membership of the Bar Asso- ciation to be joined as defendants in the United States District Court of the Southern District of California. The case was tried before Hon. Oscar Trippett, of the United States District Court. When the plaintiff rested his case, the case was dismissed on a motion for a nonstit made by the attorneys representing the Orange County Bar Association.
In the prosecution of this litigation, the Bar Association of this county did not prosecute any of the parties with a vindictive spirit, but solely to raise the moral and ethical standard of the profession. In this endeavor, the Bar Associa- tion, and its officers and members, have been sustained, both by the Supreme and Federal Courts of this state. These facts are mentioned as noteworthy, because laymen generally think that the ordinary lawyer is liable to be unethical in prac- tice, and will take no steps to rid the profession of undesirable members.
The Association is now in a flourishing condition, and has had considerable work in forming public opinion in legislative matters that have come before the Association. Several members of the Association have had high honors con- ferred on them.
The first judge of the Superior Court, after the formation of the county in 1889, was Hon. J. W. Towner. He was followed by Hon. J. W. Ballard and Hon. Z. B. West.
In 1913 the legislature passed an act increasing the number of judges in the Superior Court from one to two, and this act took effect on August 10, 1913. Gov. Hiram W. Johnson, on September 13, 1913, appointed Hon. William H. Thomas to be Judge of the Superior Court, thus established, which became known as Department Two of the Superior Court of Orange County.
Subsequently, Gov. W. D. Stephens, in December, 1918, appointed William H. Thomas, Associate Justice of the newly established Court of Appeals, Sec- ond District, Division Number Two, sitting in Los Angeles, Cal., to take effect January 1, 1919.
Gov. W. D. Stephens, in December, 1918, appointed to Hon. R. Y. Williams as Judge of Department Two of the Superior Court of Orange County, to take the place made vacant in that Court by the appointment of Judge Thomas to the Appellate Court. Judge Williams took office January 1, 1919.
The Hon. Z. B. West was elected Judge of the Superior Court in Novem- ber, 1902, and has succeeded himself for two consecutive terms, and is now Judge of Department One of the Superior Court of Orange County.
The following members of the Orange County Bar Association have filled the office of District Attorney: J. W. Ballard. Z. B. West, R. Y. Williams, H. C. Head, S. M. Davis, L. A. West.
The Orange County Bar Association is an aggressive and active force in the legal history and activities of Orange County, and is doing its part to keep the standard of the profession high and honorable.
Orange County Historical Society
Attorney S. M. Davis of Santa Ana, in May, 1919, invited a number of citizens from different parts of the county to meet in the Santa Ana library to consider the question of forming a historical society to collect and preserve a record of the events of historical interest to the county together with any souvenirs, trophies

or other articles connected therewith. At that meeting the proposition was unanimously approved and the following persons were selected to act as the first board of directors in forming the organization and securing the incorporation of the society, viz .: Dr. John L. Dryer, S. M. Davis, Mrs. W. B. Tedford, C. C. Chapman, Samuel Armor, H. Clay Kellogg and George W. Moore. Doctor Dryer was elected president and S. M. Davis secretary. Articles of incorporation were adopted and the secretary was instructed to file copies of the same with the board of supervisors and the secretary of state. In due time the secretary received the certificate of incorporation and called a meeting of the society to convene on June 26, 1919, to perfect the organization. At that meeting the resignation of George W. Moore as director was accepted and Dr. C. D. Ball was elected to fill the vacancy. With this change the temporary board of directors was made permanent. Doctor Dryer declining to continue in the chair, Doctor Ball was elected president ; Samuel Armor, vice-president ; S. M. Davis, secretary and treasurer ; and Miss Jeannette E. McFadden, curator. Thus was the Orange County Historical Society organized on June 26, 1919.
Orange County Farmers Mutual Fire Insurance Company
One of the cooperative organizations of Orange County that reflects great credit on the judgment and forethought of its organizers is the Orange County Farmers Mutual Fire Insurance Company. Organized June 30, 1898, with about twenty or thirty present, the company now has about 4,500 members. During the ensuing years it has paid losses amounting to $51,681.51, and has the enviable record of never having had a claim contested in court.
At the time of the organization of the company the farmers of the county were paying from thirty cents to $1.08 per year on a $100 valuation. For insur- ance that gives additional safeguards to its policyholders, the company has a rate of about fifteen cents per year on $100. It has now in force insurance to the amount of about $7,500,000 in valuation.
The first official board consisted of the following: W. A. Beckett, Garden Grove, president ; N. H. Leonard, Bolsa, vice-president ; F. D. Reed, Garden Grove, secretary ; E. W. Crowell, Orange ; Thomas Nicholson, El Modena ; Albert Barrows, Fullerton; H. Larter, Westminster. Of the first board of directors only two are now living, N. H. Leonard and H. Larter, the former being the only one who was actively engaged in all the details of the company's organization. Mr. Leonard, who is now living in Santa Ana, personally wrote the first appli- cations that were filed with the secretary, F. D. Reed, and served as the vice- president of the company for four or five years.
Orange County W. C. T. U. By Elizabeth H. Mills
In writing the history of Orange County, all who read its history should know that the organized forces of the Woman's Christian Temperance Union-organ- ized immediately after the organization of the County in 1889-though numer- ically small, have been a potent factor in the moral, spiritual and political uplift of the county. The education given by this organization has been progressive along all lines that tend to the betterment of the human race. It has spared neither sacrifice nor service to this end, and today not a county in our beloved state can show a better record. Splendid men have stood behind the brave women who have dared to blaze the way through indifference, criticism and intolerance that ever marks the path to victory. These kept the faith and waged the war- fare that made it possible for Orange County, with its present eleven Unions and over five hundred members, to be an effective part in placing in our National Constitution the Eighteenth and Nineteenth Amendments. All honor to the W. C. T. U. women, and their helpers, of this County for their part in making the nation's present and future sober. Christian citizenship.
