CONRAD'S LICENSE Charged With Selfing Liquors at Retail Arrest to Follow Investigation, Should Violation of Ordinance be Proven Mr. Spoerl on Sidewalks Council met in regular session on Tuesday evening and fixed the tax levy for the current fiscal year at $1.25, as follows: General fund, 69c; bond fund, No. 1, incurred for the erection of city hall and laying water mains, 18c; bond fund, No. 2, incurred for installing electric light system, 9c; bond fund No. 3, incurred for extensions to water and electric light systems, 22c; library fund, 7c. The total rate is the same as last year, the general fund tax being raised from 67 to 69 cents, and bond funds No's 1 and 3 lowered a cent each. Clerk Merritt submitted figures showing the total assessed valuation of the town to be $637,002. Deducting one-twentieth for delinquents, ($31,850), leaves a balance of $605,152 to figure on. This amount includes the railroad assessment for last year, figures for the current year not having as yet been received. The board passed the tax ordinance at first reading. At the rate agreed upon upward of $7,000 will be collected by the city. Tax Collector Steadman was authorized to employ an assistant at $15 per month for the collection of city taxes, the assistant to act for six months. The action was taken by the board at request of the tax collector, who in his capacity as superintendent of streets will be engaged for some time in inspecting the work of sidewalk construction in town. City Clerk Merritt will act as such assistant tax collector. On the subject of sidewalk construction, the board heard the following communication from R. Spoerl. COMPLAINT Anaheim, Cal., Aug. 15, 1904. To the Honorable Board of Trustees of the City of Anaheim: I would respectfully call the attention of your honorable body to the outrageous condition of the newly laid cement sidewalk on Broadway, especially as it is in front of my property on the south street was shown to be 51 feet in width, east of that street it was shown to be 49½ feet. Its south line was straight; the north line sagged a foot and a half. Chartres street was 52¼ feet in width east of Los Angeles street, and 49¼ feet west of that thoroughfare. The city proposes laying cement sidewalks upon these streets. Mr. Stewart was given instructions regarding the propriety of keeping the curb lines straight and to begin the work of running lines from the walks. Engineer Stewart was given a layoff from Sept. 10th to the end of the month. City Attorney Melrose was instructed to again notify the Santa Fe company to erect either a gate or bell at Center and Sycamore street crossing also to notify the same company that its flyer goes through town at too greatly accelerated rate of speed, that the same be reduced. Berdrow called attention to the fact that are lights at the West End are giving poor service. The attention of the engineer at power house was directed thereto. The board is of the opinion that it is paying big salaries at the power house and is entitled to the best service. The following bills against the city were ordered paid: J. H Clabaugh, freight on oil...$23.40 T. A. Darling, "...75 86 W: B. Hutchinson, telephone...1.50 Wm. Kuschner, labor...17.50 J. Kroeger, labor...17.50 Gazette, printing and advert'ng..26.70 J. Smith, labor...17.05 A. Heffner, labor...11.40 T. A. Darling,...37.83 Total.....$228.54 Mr. Schindler's Statement. Mr. Schindler said yesterday that he had informed Mr. Spoerl, on having his attention called to the condition of the sidewalk on portions of Broadway, that he would make all repairs immediately, and would personally guarantee the work for two years. He therefore does not understand why Spoerl addressed his communication to the board. Minutes of Water BoardANAHEIM, Cal., Aug. 20, 1904.

GOOD PRICES FOR ORANGES How the "California Citrus Union" Marketed the Late Valencia Crop of "Lucky Hit" Ranch of West Anaheim. EDITOR GAZETTE: I submit herewith certain facts and figures covering the sales of our Valencia late oranges which were picked from a six-acre orchard, packed by R. T. Davis of Fullerton, an agent of the California Citrus Union, on and between July 19 and July 22, 1904, and marketed by the said Union, the complete returns of same having been received on August 16, 1904, with net results, as follows, viz: 384 boxes ex. choice Valencias, sold "f. o. b." Anaheim for Des Moines, Ia., which netted $709.07. 51 boxes of fancy and 124 boxes of choice Valencias, sold "f. o. b." in Winnepeg, Man., which netted $361.08. 91 boxes of choice and 144 boxes of standard Valencias, sold "f. o. b." in New Orleans, which netted $370.06. 40 boxes of fancy Valencias, sold "f. o. b." in Winnepeg, Man., which netted $88.20. 38 boxes of choice Valencias, sold at auction in New York which netted $79.32. 260 ex-choice Valencias, sold at auction in St. Louis which netted $527.59. In other words, 1132 packed boxes, netted me at the packing house $2135.32. The above statement in my humble opinion is good proof that the Anaheim District can grow good oranges; and the very best proof that the California Citrus Union in their practical efforts to adopt the "f. o. b." plan of selling, thereby supporting the markets at all points is certainly, deserving of the approval and support of all growers, who are working for the best net returns for their fruit. Respectfully, CHARLES W. SPOONER. Anaheim, August 22, 1904. Business Block Sold. The brick building on the corner of Los Angeles and Center streets was this week sold to the First National bank by N. Hart, executor of the Metz estate. Consideration $8000. The lot is in lot 1135. The building will be remod- Anaheim, Cal., Aug. 15, 1904. To the Honorable Board of Trustees of the City of Anaheim: I would respectfully call the attention of your honorable body to the outrageous condition of the newly laid cement sidewalk on Broadway, especially as it is in front of my property on the south side of said street laid about twelve weeks ago. It is hollow like a snare drum and is peeling off like cheese cloth. Is it possible that the said walk should be made, as claimed, according to the rules and stipulations as framed by the authorities of the city? or is it a fake. Please investigate as soon as possible. Respectfully, R. Spoerl. The board took the view that in much as the work was done by private contract, the city stipulating only that the walk conform to the official grade and be done to the satisfaction of the street superintendent. That official stated that the contractor would go over the work and make such repairs as are necessary. He said that when the sidewalk was first constructed, Spoerl took a piece of chalk and marked crosses upon several squares in the walk. Subsequently when the crosses were obliterated, he wrote the words, "Look here," in the same places. Later he wrote the word "Schindler" on the walk. Later Spoerl took a pick and dislodged pieces of the walk. On assurance of the street superintendent that the contractor would remedy all defects the matter was passed without action. The board received the following communication from the retail liquor dealers regarding the alleged violation of the municipal liquor license by F. Conrad. Anaheim, Aug. 21, 1904. To the Honorable Board of City Trustees—The undersigned duly licensed retail liquor dealers of the City of Anaheim respectfully represent to your honorable body that the license ordinance of the city is being daily violated by F. Conrad, who conducts wholesale and retail liquor business on Adele street. There is abundant proof that said Conrad is engaged in selling liquor at retail, that he is doing so under the protection of a wholesale license. This is unjust to us and we protest against its continuance. We therefore ask you to instruct the proper official to take such action as will prevent said Conrad from selling liquor at retail, and that he be confined strictly to a wholesale business. Signed, A. FUHRBERG, EUBANKS & COTTLE, F. RUHMAN, SARGER & HATFIELD, R. WISSEM, N. HART. The board took the ground that if said allegations in petition contained were true, Conrad should be placed under immediate arrest and punished. One of the protestors said Conrad's monthly sales of liquor amount to between $900 and $1000, and that most of this is retail. He added that Conrad sets a free lunch and provides tables and chairs, with cards, and makes attention called to the condition of the sidewalk on portions of Broadway, that he would make all repairs immediately, and would personally guarantee the work for two years. He therefore does not understand why Spoerl addressed his communication to the board. Minutes of Water Board. ANAHEIM, Cal., Aug. 20, 1904. Regular meeting of board of directors of the Anaheim Union Water Company. The meeting convened at 2 p.m. with the following members present: Directors Bradford, Sherwood, McDermont and Zeyn. Both the president and vice-president being absent, Director McDermont was on motion elected temporary chairman. The minutes of the preceding meeting of August 6th were read and approved. Director Zeyn reported having settled with F. Baum in the matter of removing the box in ditch, and that each pays half the expense. A communication from the attorneys of H. Hildebrandt notified the company that Mr. Hildebrandt is the owner of stock standing on the books of the company in name of John W. Knight, and requested the company not to deliver any water on the stock without the order of said Hildebrandt, and also not to permit any indebtedness to be incurred on said stock. Placed on file. Vice-president Kraemer here arrived and took his place at the head of the board. A communication from B. R. Lelin relating to irrigation district tax on a certain piece of property was referred to the secretary to inform him that the abstract company can give him necessary information. A communication from George M. Young et al. called attention to a pitch to be cemented through their properties and which had been delayed. It was the opinion of the board that it could not be undertaken until the present ditch on which construction is being done is completed. On motion the meeting adjourned. P. H. KRICK, S. BYV. Mr. Thiele's Body Remuted. Later details have come concerning the untimely end of Robert Thiele in Los Angeles on Tuesday morning of last week. Mr. Thiele died at the California hospital at 11 o'clock on the morning of the 16th inst., having been conceived thither for the purpose of undergoing a surgical operation for the relief of an inflamed rupture. The preceding day he and his nephew, F. A. Hartman of Los Angeles, went to Santa Monica, where they enjoyed a dip in the plunge. Both were in excellent health and spirits, Mr. Thiele feeling particularly well. They returned to their home, and at 8 o'clock the next morning Mr. Thiele called for assistance, saying that he was ill, and requesting that a physician be summoned. Seeing that he was in great pain Mr. Hartman telephoned for several physicians, who immediately responded, and it was decided to remove the sufferer to a hospital. Here he breathed his last efforts to adopt the "f.o.b." plan of selling, thereby supporting the markets at all points is, certainly, deserving of the approval and support of all growers, who are working for the best net returns for their fruit. Respectfully, CHARLES W. SPOONER. Anaheim, August 22, 1904. Business Block Sold. The brick building on the corner of Los Angeles and Center streets was this week sold to the First National bank by N. Hart, executor of the Metz estate. Consideration $8000. The lot is 41x135. The building will be remodeled, new plate glass fronts being constructed. The premises will be occupied by the bank, and its present quarters will be devoted to use of the savings bank now forming among moneyed men here. L. E. Miller, who occupies the corner property, will move into a new building to be erected by the bank on the Center street lot now occupied by the candy kitchen. The lot is 28x135 feet. It is said a new brick block will soon be in course of construction. Santa Ana's High Tax Santa Ana will enjoy the luxury of an exceedingly high tax rate; the current fiscal year. The sum of $63,800 will be needed to run the municipality for the year. To raise this rate has been fixed at $2.20. To this will have to be added the state and county tax, which will be either $1.20 or $1.30, making a total of $3.40 or $3.50. This is the highest tax owners of property in that city have ever been called upon to pay. A new city hall is in course of construction, a fire hall has been built and a fire alarm system is soon to be installed. In 1892-3 the tax rate was $1.96, with an assessed valuation of $2,325,000, and in 1893-4 the rate was fixed at $2.05, and was lowered to $1.78 when the state board of equalization raised the assessment 15 per cent. The 15-percent raise advanced the assessed valuation $6000 within the city, and makes the amount now, in round figures, $2,900,000. Notice to Voters.

The board took the ground that if said allegations in petition contained were true, Conrad should be placed under immediate arrest and punished. One of the protestors said Conrad's monthly sales of liquor amount to between $900 and $1000, and that most of this is retail. He added that Conrad sets a free lunch and provides tables and chairs, with cards, and makes no effort to disguise the fact that he dispenses liquor at retail. The matter was placed in the hands of the marshal for immediate investigation. Councilmen Darling, Tyler and Berdrow were present. In the absence of Mayor Rust, Mr. Darling occupied the chair. Berdrow of the finance committee reported the auditing of bills against the city amounting to $228.54.

Bissell was granted permission to lay an inch water main to his residence on the east side, connection being made at the Santa Fe depot. Engineer Lewis of the power house and A. Schneider were granted ten day lay offs, each to furnish substitute. Frank Baum asked permission to lay a cement sidewalk on north, east and south sides of Sunrise tract west of schoolhouse. Granted.

Surveyor Stewart submitted a sketch of Cypress and Chartree streets, showing inequalities in their dimensions east and west of Los Angeles street—Cypress street west of Los Angeles street. Narrow Escape From Drowning. While bathing at Newport Beach on Thursday Miss Winona Young of West Orange was swept off her feet by the breakers into deep water and would have drowned but for the assistance from companions, who succeeded, after great difficulty, in getting her ashore. Harvey Daniel, son of Judge F. O. Daniel of Santa Ana, was one of those who came to the girl's aid and in her struggles she carried Daniel off his feet, and he, too, would have perished but for some fishermen, who fortunately, were near enough to render assistance. Miss Young soon recovered when brought ashore, but Daniel was exhausted and suffered from having a allowed salt water, and for awhile it was feared he would not recover. His condition has since improved and no serious results are expected. FIRST IN THE U.S. First in penmanship in the country is the standing of the Los Angeles Business College for the past year. Over 40 national diplomas have been earned by the students of this institution since Christmas last. This school is also second to none in all the other branches. A course of study spent here is the best investment a young person can take. For catalogue address 212 W. Third street, Los Angeles.

Needham May Get Place WASHINGTON, Aug. 20.—When Congress meets again next December there will be a vacancy on the Ways and Means Committee caused by the retirement of Representative Metcalf to take a place in the President's Cabinet. It is considered highly important that California should have a place on the committee, which is the most important one in the entire organization of the House, and it has been suggested that Speaker Cannon be asked to name Representative Needham of California as Mr. Metcalf's successor. It is believed that pretty strong support has been promised Mr. Needham already. Needham is personally strong with Speaker Cannon, and that will help him if he desires to get into the fight. Sold it in Advance. Henry Adams and Crockett Bowen this week disposed of the property recently purchased by them from the Metz estate to Ferdinand Heyling, for $2500. The property consists of two restaurant buildings next to the quaterers soon to be occupied by the Fifth National bank. Something over a month ago they paid for this proper sum of $1750. Mr. Heyling is newly arrived from East. He has purchased the restaurant business formerly conducted by M.Burdick and is now in possession of the property.

Return limit For fun and good clean jokes Company E holds the center of the stage, with Private Seidel as leader. The best up to this time took place yesterday (Sunday), when the camp was full of visitors. Private Seidel improvised a camera, the tripod of which was made from the poles of shelter tents, while the camera itself was nothing more than a tin can covered with a photographic cloth. Stationing himself alongside of the main street, he would persuade passers by to stop and have their pictures taken, causing them to go through all sorts of postures to get the best light and pose, in some cases even going so far as to have them turn completely around with their turnouts. As is usually the custom with photographers, he would then say, "Now smile," which was always forthcoming when the cloth was removed and the freak camera exposed, to the delight and cheers of the onlookers. As a rule no time was lost by those upon whom the joke had been played in getting away as fast as possible, but invariably coming back to join the ranks of spectators. Seidel had a busy day, taking no less than a hundred pictures. Officers and men of Company E attended services in front of Chaplain Williamson's tent Sunday morning. Sergeant Selinger, who had the misfortune to injure his left hand at the beginning of camp, is doing nicely under the able care of Major Robles and his corps. Photographers are reaping a harvest in camp this year. Aug. 23rd. This morning the division was taken out for a long hike and battle. The hike was a trying one on the boys, but they still saved the name which the gallant Seventh has for hikes. They started out at 7 a.m. and did not return until 2 p.m. The division was divided into the Blue and Brown. After walking about twelve miles in search of the enemy, the Browns finally located them on a ridge. The battle began and the Blues were driven from their position. The march was then taken up back to camp, where their hunger was fully satisfied. Lieut. Kroeger was in command of the company in today's maneuvers, and brought it out in its full glory. Assistant Corporal Hatfield was on the sick list, but is at his post again. Indications point toward a heavy rain storm, and it is a sight to see the boys banking up their tents and digging trenches to carry off the water in case of a heavy downpour. The boys are looking forward with smiles toward the prospects of a good spread, which was recommended in the last month's issue. National guardmen are taking on the appearance of regulars more and more each day. They are buying the surplus clothing of the regulars.

Seidel had a busy day, taking no less than a hundred pictures. Officers and men of Company E attended services in front of Chaplain Williamson's tent Sunday morning. Sergeant Selinger, who had the misfortune to injure his left hand at the beginning of camp, is doing nicely under the able care of Major Robles and his corps. Photographers are reaping a harvest in camp this year. Aug. 23rd. This morning the division was taken out for a long hike and battle. The hike was a trying one on the boys, but they still saved the name which the gallant Seventh has for hikes. They started out at 7 a.m. and did not return until 2 p.m. The division was divided into the Blue and Brown. After walking about twelve miles in search of the enemy, the Browns finally located them on a ridge. The battle began and the Blues were driven from their position. The march was then taken up back to camp, where their hunger was fully satisfied. Lieut. Kroeger was in command of the company in today's maneuvers, and brought it out in its full glory. Assistant Corporal Hatfield was on the sick list, but is at his post again. Indications point toward a heavy rain storm, and it is a sight to see the boys banking up their tents and digging trenches to carry off the water in case of a heavy downpour. The boys are looking forward with smiles toward the prospects of a good spread, which was recommended in the last month's issue. National guardmen are taking on the appearance of regulars more and more each day. They are buying the surplus clothing of the regulars. Pay rolls, general orders, etc., are now signed Organized Militia, U.S., instead of N.G.C. For fun and good clean jokes Company E holds the center of the stage, with Private Seidel as leader. The best up to this time took place yesterday (Sunday), when the camp was full of visitors. Private Seidel improvised a camera, the tripod of which was made from the poles of shelter tents, while the camera itself was nothing more than a tin can covered with a photographic cloth. Stationing himself alongside of the main street, he would persuade passers by to stop and have their pictures taken, causing them to go through all sorts of postures to getthe best light and pose; in some cases even going so far as to have them turn completely around with their turnouts.As is usually the custom with photographers, he would then say,"Now smile," which was always forthcoming when the cloth was removed and the freak camera exposed, tothe delight and cheersoftheonlookers.As a rule no time was lost by those upon whomthe joke had been played in getting away as fast as possible,但invariably coming back to jointhe ranksofspectators.Difficultconductrequiredso muchofhisattentionthatheoughtbestcloseoutFullertoninterests.

QUARTER INCH OF RAIN The unusual spectacle of a genuine rainstorm in August was afforded on Monday, when a quarter of an inch of rain fell during the morning hours. The storm was a remnant of the heavy rains which have deluged Arizona the past few weeks. The territory had had but little rain up to the present storm the precipitation for all of last winter being half an inch. Rains have been so heavy for some weeks past that many washouts have occurred and property destroyed by flood. Old timers declare that rain in August indicates a wet winter. To this no one will object. Thirty inches of rain this winter will be about right. Placentia Items. Mr. and Mrs. Forbes left on Saturday for a two weeks camping trip to San Juan Hot Springs. Mrs. J.

Moore, traveling passenger agent for the Santa Fe, was in town on Monday in the interest of his company. Mr. Moore goes to St. Louis in a few days to see the fair, and while in that city will probably deliver an address on the glorious climate of California, showing that it never rains here in August. Mrs. Bertha Kutzner was this week granted a divorce from her husband, Oswald Kutzner, on ground of extreme cruelty. The couple live near Talbert, and Kutzner has for years terrorized the family when in liquor by beating his wife and children and misbehaving himself generally. The climax came a few weeks ago, when he savagely assaulted the woman, breaking her nose and inflicting other injuries. Then Kutzner was arrested and sent to jail for sixty days on conviction of battery, and meantime his wife sued for and obtained a divorce. Al. Allison while engaged in cutting limbs from a pepper tree in order to facilitate the operation of a windmill which he had just erected on the Culton place southwest of town, Friday morning, lost his balance and fell to the ground, a distance of twenty feet. He fell upon his back, striking across a log, and was rendered unconscious for a time it was feared he had been fatally hurt. He was carried into the house, where he shortly recovered consciousness, and in the afternoon was brought home. He was confined to his bed for several days, but is now able to be out again.
