GLORIOUS DAY OF AMERICAN LIBERTY Anaheim Is in Readiness for the Celebration—Great Crowds Looked For. The city is decorated from one end of the business section to the other with flags and bunting and evergreens. After weeks of preparation, the celebration of Independence Day bids fair to develop into one of the greatest patriotic demonstrations in the history of Southern California. All of Orange County is expected to be here today, or at least a major portion of the County's population. Many of the towns in the northern and western sections of the County will have floats in this morning's parade, and the combined population of these places is expected to be present during the day. Among the features of the celebration will be the most pretentious electrical demonstration ever seen in Southern California, outside of the big cities. Visitors should remain until evening in order to view this wonderful vision of fairyland. For those not so esthetically constituted, perhaps the barbecue will be among the chief attractions. Two thousand pounds of meat are being prepared. Fires in the pits were lighted on Wednesday, and the meats were baking all last night. The laying of the corner-stone of the new high school by the Masonic Grand Lodge will be witnessed by thousands. Grand Master Foshay will arrive from Los Angeles this morning, and will be received by the local Masonic lodge. Masons are expected to be present from several outlying towns. The local Masonic lodge will present Grand Master Foshay with a silver trowel, with ebony handle, suitably inscribed, as a memento of the exercises of laying the corner-stone. The Masons will entertain the Grand Master and visiting Grand officers at an elaborate banquet in their hall at noon. Grand Lodge jewels, consisting of gold and silver vessels, to be used in the ceremonies of laying the cornerstone, arrived yesterday. The exercises at the reviewing-stand in Deutsch grove will draw thousands. The oration will be delivered by Bishop Montgomery, a gentleman who num- KUHNRICH PAYS THE FREIGHT Los Angeles Brewer Had to Pay Debts Contracted by Schuchardt Before He Could Transfer His License. The City Fathers have been having a peek of fun on account of saloon licenses lately. The other day one Schuchardt who had been conducting a saloon for the East Los Angeles brewery in the Koll block, left town suddenly, leaving a number of mourning creditors behind him. Kuhnrich had purchased the saloon of Aug. Freise, paying $800 therefor. Some days thereafter new fixtures were installed, and a week or so ago the place was reported sold to a party from Long Beach, the consideration being $1050. Herr Kuhnrich was in town about this time, and as soon as his presence was known, the mourning creditors filed past him in sad review, each with a pitiful tale of woe to tell. The Los Angeles brewer suavely informed one and all that he had been a victim of misplaced confidence; that Schuchardt had been a very dishonest servant, and that he had left affairs in a very bad tangle. Relative to the payment of the bills, Kuhnrich was in doubt just how to get at them. He was very sorry about them. The place was finally sold last week, but when the new proprietor came to inquire about the license, he found the August City Fathers positively declined to issue a license for the saloon until all bills were paid. On Monday morning the place was closed, the internal revenue license having expired. After due deliberation Kuhnrich agreed to settle all claims, and the place was sold to Paul Kluss of Chino, who will in future conduct a first-class resort, paying all bills as they mature, and holding out the glad hand to all good people. F. O. B. SALES WERE IN DISFAVOR Fullerton-Placentia Farmers' Club Discusses the Subject, and Incidentally Criticises Naftzger. The Fullerton-Placentia Farmers' Club held a very interesting meeting at the residence of A. T. Pendleton at Placentia on Saturday afternoon. J. A. Reid, Secretary of the Semi-Tropic Fruit Exchange, discussed pro- COMING LEGAL FIGHT OVER LUEDKE ESTATE Oscar Luedke, Who Died in San Francisco Last Week. Left No Will—Entanglements May Ensue. There is a prospect of a legal battle between Adolph Luedke and Miss Paula Wenzel over the estate of Oscar Luedke, who died in San Francisco on Tuesday, June 25th. The estate is valued at about $20,000. Oscar died at the Wenzel home, in San Francisco, whither he went in May, preparatory to a trip to Europe to recuperate his health. He had just disposed of his jewelry store here to his brother, Adolph. He was a sufferer with asthma and kindred ailments, and for some weeks previous to his departure had a bad spell of illness at his home in this city. He recovered sufficiently to think of spending a year or two in travel. He was taken down soon after arriving in San Francisco, and for a month previous to his dissolution was extremely low. On Monday, June 24th, Miss Paula Wenzel, cousin of deceased, arrived in Anaheim with power of attorney from Oscar. A considerable sum of money, besides deeds and other papers of value, and jewelry, were turned over to her. This, she said, would be deposited in the German-American Savings bank of Los Angeles. Inquiry at the bank the following day revealed the fact, so Luedke states, that no such deposit had been made. Luedke claims his brother was not in possession of his mental faculties when he signed the paper giving Miss Wenzel power of attorney. He announces that he will contest the lady's right to the property. The day of her arrival he received notification from her that Oscar was not expected to live, although his information from the Wenzels two weeks before was that his brother was improving and would soon be out again. Nothing had come to him to indicate that his brother's condition had changed so rapidly for the worse. He prepared immediately to depart for San Francisco, taking the Owl the next day. On Tuesday, June 25th (the day of his departure), a telegram was received, stating that Oscar was unconscious. Luedke arrived in San Francisco on Wednesday, June 26th, and found his brother had died before he left Los Angeles, the preceding day. The Masons will entertain the Grand Master and visiting Grand officers at an elaborate banquet in their hall at noon. Grand Lodge jewels, consisting of gold and silver vessels, to be used in the ceremonies of laying the cornerstone, arrived yesterday. The exercises at the reviewing-stand in Deutsch grove will draw thousands. The oration will be delivered by Bishop Montgomery, a gentleman who numbers every one in this community as his friend. The Bishop will be in the parade this morning, riding in a carriage with Mr. Cargill, President of the day. The athletic games during the afternoon, fireworks at night, the Military band concert, and other exercises are expected to provide a fund of entertainment that will be enjoyed by those who are lucky enough to be present.

THE WINGS ARE IN DISFAVOR Fullerton-Placentia Farmers' Club Discusses the Subject,and Incidentally Criticises Naftzger. The Fullerton-Placentia Farmers' Club held a very interesting meeting at the residence of A.T.Pendleton at Placentia on Saturday afternoon. J.A.R.EidSecretary of the Semi-Tropic Fruit Exchange,discussed proposed changes in the system of marketing citrus fruits.He said the f.o.b.system.in vogue for a time during the early history of the association,had resulted in reducing the output controlled from 75 per cent.to 18 per cent.The eastern-sales system was adopted by the remaining advocates of co-operation with the hope of bringing about its rehabilitation.The wisdom of this change had been clearly shown by the subsequent growth of the system from an output of 18 per cent.or700 cars.to48 per cent.or22 ,ooo cars.He believed this increase was sufficient evidence of the popularity of exchange marketing and demonstrated the advantage of eastern sales as well.In the Ontario section,the where cooperative system had attained the highest state of development,the said exchange was handling99 per cent.of the output of citrus fruits.He believed the fruit-growing class was made up of men of the highest intelligence and that their wisdom would be shownin the continuation of a system which had thus advanced their interests. Wm.M.McFadden and other members of the club made remarks severely criticising Naftzger and his methods of disposing of the orange crop. The club took decisive action on a report from its road committee to the effect that work now being done on the Placentia highway is far from satisfactory.In its report the committee says that pure dirt is being dumped on the roadway while subscribers to the improvement fund are paying for gravel.As a result the highway is said to be nothing more than a strip of dustwhichwill fly inthe faceof travelers all summer. Wm.M.McFadden then read an interesting paper on "Sub-soiling for Irrigation,"taking up the subject where he left off at the last meeting.Mr.McFadden is a strong advocate of deep irrigation,and his views.as shown in the discussion following his paper,semed to meet the approval of a large majority of those present.The only dissenter who expressed himself was William Crowther,how thought that the loss of moisture by evaporation was heavier in deep than shallow irrigation. The club has determined to see what can be done towards checking the progress of the walnut disease.To this end a committee was appointed to cooperate with Prof.N.B.Plierce,the government pathologist for this disaffected to fight. After a little urging the kingsnake was roused to action.It struck the rattler,t striking near the tail.The rattler struck the kingsnake twice.

He promises some out-of-sight music of a horrible sort. Mr. Mcadden is a strong advocate of deep irrigation, and his views, as shown in the discussion following his paper, seemed to meet the approval of a large majority of those present. The only dissenter who expressed himself was William Crowther, who thought that the loss of moisture by evaporation was heavier in deep than shallow irrigation. The club has determined to see what can be done towards checking the progress of the walnut disease. To this end a committee was appointed to cooperate with Prof. N. B. Pierce, the government pathologist for this district, in an effort to have the disease investigated by a special agent from the Agricultural Department Pierce was to have addressed the club, giving the result of his experience in treating the disease, but was unavoidably absent. At the conclusion of the session a vote of thanks was extended to Mr. Pendleton for his courtesies as the club's host. Incorporation. A petition asking for the incorporation of Fullerton as a municipality was presented to the Supervisors on Tuesday. The Board continued consideration of the matter until the 11th. Another petition asking for incorporation on largely extended lines, and another protesting against it, will be filed with the Supervisors in time for consideration on the 11th. Local Dots.

Estrada of Richfield was brought into town on Sunday morning with his left hand badly shattered by the discharge of a loaded shell with which he was experimenting. The boy is supposed to have been picking at it, or striking it with a piece of iron when it discharged, tearing away the first two fingers almost entirely, and shattering the thumb and third finger. Drs. Johnston and Bickford amputated the three fingers close to the hand, and took the thumb off at the first joint.

A MODEL HOTEL FOR THE LANDING Eastern Capital Interested in the Erection of a Commodious Hostelry at the Beach. A gentleman in town on Monday, who is known to be backed by abundant Eastern capital, spoke encouragingly of the project of establishing at Anaheim Landing a modern hotel, patterned after the noted California seacoast resorts, with bath-houses and pleasure boats upon the bay, stables for teams. feed yard, groves of trees, and all other inducements to tempt the traveler. “If I could buy 100 acres of land at the Landing, or lease it for 25 years, I would undertake to put up one of the best hotels on the Southern California Coast. I have visited all the coast resorts, from Del Monte to Coronado, and I say, without fear of contradiction, that there is not one of them which can compare in natural advantages with the Landing. “The Landing has, in the first place, the only beach where bathers may enjoy surf and still-water bathing. That is a great drawing card, and few Pacific Coast resorts offer it. It has a fine supply of fresh water, and a little effort would result in producing a very fine grove of trees. “The bay offers the only mullet-fishing grounds on the Coast, and this is a natural advantage which hotel men value at its true worth. These fish may be taken plentifully in the bay, and they are nowhere else to be found. A man could make a specialty of serving mullet dinners. I believe hundreds, yes thousands, could be drawn to the beach for this, not to speak of its many other natural advantages. “But the great attraction is the surf and still-water bathing. Del Monte hasn't anything like it; neither has Coronado. Santa Monica does not know what still-water bathing is; while the Landing has the finest in the world. The nearest approach to it is Mentone, France. I have visited all of them, and the Landing is the boss of them all. “I shall see Mr. Hellman on my return from the Buffalo Exposition, and if satisfactory arrangements can be made for the purchase of, say, 100 acres, or a lease for 25 years, I will take on a contract to erect one of the finest hotels on the Southern California Coast. “The construction of a branch of the SAIL ON, SHIP OF STATE! A Beautiful Float to be in this Morning's Parade—Goddess of Liberty, Uncle Sam and All the States. The Ship of State, upon the construction of which Alex Henry has been engaged for some weeks past, will probably be one of the prettiest sights in the parade. The ship will be drawn by ten white horses, each having a liveried rider. Miss Clara Hansen has been chosen Goddess of Liberty, and Miss Allie Robinson Maid of Honor. George Betz will be Uncle Sam, and Alex Henry, attired in sailorman's costume, will be at the helm, guiding the vessel.

Secretary Hitchcock announces that he is preparing to organize a forestry bureau in the Interior Department to carry out an extensive system of refor-estration, somewhat on the plan successfully pursued in Germany. It was too early to go into details, he said, but the President and his colleagues were satisfied with the practicability of the scheme and impressed with the results which could be achieved in restoring the rapidly disappearing woodlands of the country. Secretary Wilson reported on the work of his department at the Cabinet meeting likewise. Afterward he said: "I told my associates what we are doing. Now, in tobacco, this country sells $30,000,000 worth of tobacco, and buys $13,000,000 worth of high-priced varieties. We have to pay $5,000,000 for Sumatra wrappers. Now, our department is teaching the American people how to produce that in the United States. We took the gold medal at the Paris Exposition for the finest Sumatra tobacco. We have been paying $8,000,000 for filler tobacco, mostly Cuban. We are conducting experiments now in this line of production, with the result that we hope to see most of the filler tobacco produced in the United States. For some of the Cold Feet—Warning: A gentleman over from Santa Ana on Tuesday says there is an epidemic of cold feet in that town over the celebration, and that many of the residents of that town would be in Anaheim today to celebrate Independence Day. Santa Ana will have no electrical display, and no fire works. In Anaheim the appropriation for both these items approximates $600. Santa Ana will spend not to exceed $125 on its celebration, Anaheim will blow in the magnificent sum of $2000. No wonder Santa Ana has cold feet. To the hundreds of Santa Ana men in town today: Have all the fun you want, but don't get gay. Oscar Luedke's Death. Oscar Luedke died in San Francisco on Tuesday, June 25th, after a lingering illness of asthma and kindred ailments. He had been in bed a month. The best physicians in San Francisco expressed the opinion that there was no hope for his recovery. Deceased was aged 40 years, and had resided here for some 30 years. He was born in San Francisco. The body was brought here for interment and the funeral occurred on Friday, June 28th. Rev. Kohlenberger conducted the burial services. The pall-bearers were Herman Dickel, Henry Husmann, Fred Rimpau, Arthur Lewis, J. Cassou and Herman Stern. The funeral had been arranged to take place on Thursday afternoon, but owing to the non-arrival of the body until Thursday, the obsequies were not held until the morning of the next day. Deceased left an estate estimated at not less than $20,000. Among his effects were bonds of the city of Anaheim to the amount of $7000, bearing 6 per cent interest. Death of Mrs. Fossek. Mrs. Mary C. Fossek, wife of R. Fossek, died at the residence on Elm street, Wednesday morning at 1 o'clock. She suffered with brain tumor, of which she had been ill many weeks. Latterly no hope had been held out for her recovery, and though everything that medical skill could devise was done to alleviate her sufferings, she gradually sank until the end, which came peacefully. Mrs. Fossek was a native of Vienna, and was aged 56 years. She was a lady of many accomplishments, and numbered her friends throughout the community. She leaves a husband and six children to mourn her loss. C.G. McKinley has returned from Seattle, after an absence of some months. He represented the Southern California Fruit Exchange at that point, and reports considerable bushiness in the orange trade in that section. He leaves tomorrow for a trip to the northern part of the State. Deputy Assessor Jennings has broken the record of June collections of personal property and poll taxes. He has turned over to Assessor Vegeley, as result of collections for the past month; the sum of $1567. He expects this month to collect $100 more. Oscar Warling has disposed of his interests at Laguna, and will become a resident of this city. He has purchased Fred Lewis' interest in the livestock business, and will go into partnership with Ed Zeus in conducting the stable in future. C.P. Taft of Orange, was awarded first prize for the best loquats exhibited at the Pan-American exposition at Buffalo. Mr. Wiggins writes him that his exhibit attracted a great deal of attention and was pronounced by all who had a knowledge of the fruit to be the best they ever saw.

Accident: As the Sisters' carriage was being driven along Center street on Tuesday morning at 10 o'clock it chanced accidentally to run into the wires forming a pyramid of colored electric lights at the corner of Center and Los Angeles streets, which City Electrician Lewis was at that moment at work upon. The carriage carried away two of the wire breaking forty globes and wrecking the pyramid. The horse became frightened and started to run away, but was stopped. One of the Sisters was quite badly cut by the wires about the face. Mr. Lewis went at the wreck with a will, and by night had it in repair. Much credit is due him for his work in preparing the display. Poker Davis. A report prevailed in town on Tuesday afternoon that Poker Davis, then eminent Los Angeles moralist, was town to attend the celebration. "That settles it in favor of our blow out," said one enthusiastic citizen, "against Santa Ana. If Poker is her Anaheim wins, Santa Ana loses. Huoo! Hurroo!" Investigation developed the fact that Mr. Davis was not in town after all. Wonder if he went to Santa Ana? Poker, where are you? Now, in tobacco, this country sells $30,000,000 worth of tobacco, and buys $13,000,000 worth of high-priced varieties. We have to pay $5,000,000 for Sumatra wrappers. Now, our department is teaching the American people how to produce that in the United States. We took the gold medal at the Paris Exposition for the finest Sumatra tobacco. We have been paying $8,000,000 for filler tobacco, mostly Cuban. We are conducting experiments now in this line of production, with the result that we hope to see most of the filler tobacco produced in the United States. For some of the very finest varieties we may have to go to the tropics, to Porto Rico, Hawaii or the Philippines, but it will be only a question of time when the United States will produce all the tobacco it wants. We have been importing wheats to improve our own crops in the United States. American-made macaroni has been thought inferior to the imported, and the reason for this was that we did not have suitable macaroni wheata. We have corrected this, so that 100,000 bushels will be grown in this country this year solely for the macaroni mills. It will be only a few years before we make all our own macaroni. "The Agricultural Department is now sending a man to the rice-growing countries of the East. A scientist who has already returned from Japan has brought specimens of rice so much more suitable for the Gulf Coast than what we formerly had that we are now producing most of the rice that we need, and shall soon produce all that we use. The second quality, or broken rice, we are already sending to Porto Rico. "There will be over forty beet-sugar factories in operation this year. They have thrown out the imported machinery, both in field and factory, and are using American inventions that are so much superior that we expect a great development in the business. The sugar men have borrowed an idea from the oil companies. At one of the oldest factories in the United States, in Utah, they have built three mills around the factory, one of them 23 miles away, from which they run the juice from the factories in pipes to the central station. Eastern capital is rapidly developing the beet-sugar industry in the arid States through irrigation. In the Arkansas valley, for instance, $1,000,000 factories have been put up."
