Memorial Day Services REV. KNIGHTEN'S ORATION Memorial Day was observed on Tuesday with the usual decoration of graves of the dead in the cemetery and by rendition of a program of patriotic exercises at Music Hall. The exercises were held under the auspices of Malvern Hill Post, G. A. R., and the Woman's Relief Corps of Fullerton. A large attendance of school children sang patriotic songs in the cemetery before the decoration of the thirty soldiers' graves began. Company E, under command of Capt. Stern, accompanied the veterans to the burial ground, and members of the post and woman's relief corps ate their lunches during the noon hour under the trees near the last resting places of the departed. In the afternoon a great crowd packed Music hall to hear Rev. Will A. Knighten deliver the oration. The stage was decorated with the national colors and large pictures of Lincoln and McKinley occupied conspicuous places upon the platform. The singing by the quartets, both of which are from Buena Park, was notably good and evoked loud applause. Rev. Knighten never had an audience more thoroughly "with him" than on this occasion. He began by saying that he recalled the time when, thirty years ago, he first came to Ana- The stage was decorated with the national colors and large pictures of Lincoln and McKinley occupied conspicuous places upon the platform. The singing by the quartets, both of which are from Buena Park, was notably good and evoked loud applause. Rev. Knighten never had an audience more thoroughly "with him" than on this occasion. He began by saying that he recalled the time when thirty years ago, he first came to Anaheim as the pastor of the Presbyterian church. Looking at Rev. Johnson, who occupied a chair upon the platform, he said: "There were no Methodists here then." His field included Anaheim, Orange, Santa Ana and Tustin—"rather a large field for one man to cultivate." His address was upon different lines from those heard here in recent years, but was none the less interesting and instructive. His witticisms moved the audience to laughter while his more serious moods brought the unbidden teardrop to the eye. His efforts at baking bread in war times, as well as many other of his witticisms, provoked much merriment and no little laughter. He quoted from recent statistics showing the greatness of this country, and dwelt upon the gigantic struggle of the civil war, as compared with other wars. The North had more men under arms, he said, three to one than the army of Xerxes, and the South twice as many as the ancient warrior. His experiences with the greenback, worth 40 cents on the dollar, and the yellowback and the greyback caused much laughter. While on scouting duty one night, climbing up the sides of a steep mountain, he had to sleep standing up, and the next morning found himself many feet away tangled about the trunk of a tree. The audience laughed when he referred to his "glorious awakening." He never slept in a bed in two years. He slept at the edge of a tent one night, with the snow banked up outside and his nose touching the tent's sides. He was glad many times his nose was no longer. The speaker was frequently greeted with applause and his entertaining address was followed by closest attention throughout. L. Lovitt of Buena Park, commander of the post, acted as master of ceremonies. at the edge of a tent one night, with the snow banked up outside and his nose touching the tent’s sides. He was glad many times his nose was no longer. The speaker was frequently greeted with applause and his entertaining adress was followed by closest attention throughout. L.

Markle Lincoln’s Gettysburg Speech Fourscore and seven years ago our fathers brought forth on this continent a new nation, conceived in liberty and dedicated to the proposition that all men are created equal. Now we are engaged in a great Civil war, testing whether that nation, or any nation so conceived and so dedicated, can long endure. We are met on a great battlefield of that war. We have come to dedicate a portion of that field as a final resting place for those who here gave their lives that that nation might live. It is altogether fitting and proper that we should do this. But in a larger sense we cannot hallow this ground. The brave men, living and dead, who struggled here have consecrated it far above our power to add or detract. The world will little note H. E.

The Oil Wells have been playing in hard luck. It is strange but nevertheless true that recently the farfamed foothill team have had it handed to them with a vengeance by the umpires. Not to say that Annin’s decisions on Sunday were totally bad, but when in a tight place he invariably would take his doll rags and go over to the enemy with decisions that looked to a driller up a tree as though they ought to have been made to stay at home. Annin has been lifting up the asphaltum juice alongside of the foothill aggregation for lo these many moons, and many of them were of opinion that he ought to have come over and hollered down their tar barrel once in a while, besides the fans off the lease were all backing the locals to win, and, honest, they thought he handed them the oily end of the grappling hooks. Russell, how could you! And then to make matters worse, those changed positions in which the boys played was the cause of some of the trouble. Take Isbell, for instance. A better amateur first baseman never came down the pike. Yet he was a bit rattled on third Sunday. The third sack, however, is a difficult position to hold down at a crucial stage of the or right into some waithands.

NOTES The Oil Wells and Hamburgers next Sunday. It will be a fast game. Gamble was in good form and handed out some puzzling ones. Ireland the backstop for the Flags performed nicely. Goodman's running catch down in the brush in the left field received well merited applause. Johnson must have had 'em buffaloes for a couple of the seraphs, failing to find them with the bat, turned their anatomy toward the ball, getting it amidships. One worked it for a base, the other had to try again. The money question still bothers some. Jack Burnett, the amiable captain, gave a forceful dessertation on the cumulative effect of frenzied finance, with the result that the second offering sufficed to play even with the expense account. The feature of the game was the pitching of Kid Johnson for the Oil Wells. He should have won his game hands down but for an error and a lucky two-bagger following it, which netted 3 runs for the Flags, when the side should have been retired with no score in that inning. The oils played in hard luck, hitting the ball in the air ing products thereon.

While the weather has continued cloudy, it has not been a disadvantage to the beets, except as regards the ravages of worms, which have now nearly ceased working, having begun to fill their cocoons. Some 500 acres are affected by this pest, being practically the same ground as that which was flooded by the overflow of New River. This will all be replanted, the seeding to continue if necessary as late as June 10th. C. B. Scott has received his commission as postmaster, vice D. J. Parker, resigned. With a good crop of beets in prospect, there will be a correspondingly large supply of "Kow-Sauer-Kraut" to be distributed amongst dairymen and stock feeders. This succulent food-stuff is growing in demand each year, and it is seldom that the supply equals requirements at this factory. Dairymen find it increases the flow of milk from their herds and feeders put on flesh rapidly from its use, especially when it is fed in combination with stock molasses. Los Alamitos, Cal., May 19, 1905. Fresh Air Law Now in Effect One of the laws passed by the last Legislature provides that it will not be lawful to rent a room in which there is no clear space for living. Some of the games we have on the Anaheim diamond have good deal better than you would be you to attend the average game in Los Angeles. Of the people who attend the in Anaheim undoubtedly are the impression that we are making out of the games—that we taking them for a good thing; this talk we put up about being in and running behind on expenses the truth. If some of them had up the collection and meet all such as railroad fare for visiting meals for same, livery hire, bills used in game, etc., they be speedily undeceived. If one were to put in 10 or 15 cents, no one would miss once a week, would never be any kick about taking expenses. Water Decision The superior court of the County Riverside, State of California. From Union Water Co. et al., vs. Theodore Ashcroft, et al., plants. This action the question of water rights is not involved nor of city is the question of how much the ditches will carry measured material. There are but questions to solve; Have the detents an easement in the use of the land lying under the ditches. These lands have more or less than 30 years been irrigated from flowing through these ditches—years more, some years probably not in every instance as was refor the reasonable use of rais products thereon. I see no way they I can, under the issues, adhere the amount of water the detents are entitled to have flow with these ditches except to say they have the right to a flow necessary for reasonable use on their lying under the ditches. The should contain a finding to the that they must not use the ditch overflow their sides and thus the contiguous land of the requirements at this factory. Dairymen find it increases the flow of milk from their herds and feeders put on flesh rapidly from its use, especially when it is fed in combination with stock molasses. Los Alamitos, Cal., May 19, 1905. Fresh Air Law Now in Effect One of the laws passed by the last Legislature provides that it will not be lawful to rent a room in which there is not clear space for 500 cubic feet of air. Only one sleeper is allowed for every 500 cubic feet. The reading of the law is as follows: "Every person who owns, leases, lets or hires to any person any room in any building, home, or other structure within the limits of any incorporated city or city and county, for the purpose of a lodging or sleeping apartment, which room or apartment contains less than 500 cubic feet of space in the clear for each person occupying such room or apartment, and every person found sleeping or lodging in or who hires or uses for the purpose of sleeping or lodging any room or apartment which contains less than 500 cubic feet of space in the clear for each person so occupying such room or apartment is guilty of a misdemeanor. In force May 21, 1905." While the law was aimed at some of the resorts in San Francisco, its application is general and the probability is that numerous lodging house keepers in the various cities of the state, who conduct respectable places, but some of whose rooms are smaller than the measurements provided by the new law, will have to change over. A room eight feet high, eight feet wide and eight feet deep is just beyond the 500 cubic foot mark. No Overdrafts at Santa Ana The First National bank of Santa Ana some days ago notified the city trustees that no overdrafts would be honored at that institution. It seems the city treasury contains only $1206, and this amount is insufficient to meet demands falling due the first of June, with no other funds in sight until December. A correspondent at the county seat writes: "A special meeting of the board of city trustees was held one night recently, to inquire into the state of the city's treasury, which is in an almost products thereon. I see no way they I can, under the issues, adhere to the amount of water the ditches are entitled to have flow with these ditches except to say they have the right to a flow necessary for reasonable use on their lying under the ditches. The district should contain a finding to the extent that they must not use the ditch to overflow their sides and thus be the contiguous land of the ditches, but there is no evidence up to predicate a finding of the extent of water in inches to be used them. They undoubtedly, under any and facts in this case, have the full capacity of the ditch necessary to reasonable use on lands, and it is impossible to say the evidence that the full capacity not necessary, at times at least in extreme drought, for such desirable use. Neither is there any evident evidence that the ditches from year to year, in the cleaning process, been enlarged beyond original capacity. Evidence by reason of the cleaning-out of the ditches might be enlarged, if sufficient. The proof should go to the satisfaction of the court thus has actually been the result, further, it should show to just extent the enlargement is, in order the court to decree a diminution of this capacity to its original know of no evidence in the soon which precise findings on point could be determined. The main partition is not determina- many of the rights of the parties issue.

It seems the city treasury contains only $1206, and this amount is insufficient to meet demands falling due the first of June, with no other funds in sight until December. A correspondent at the county seat writes: "A special meeting of the board of city trustees was held one night recently, to inquire into the state of the city's treasury, which is in an almost bankrupt condition. According to a report received yesterday from the First National bank, in which the funds are deposited, the city now has on hand $1206, and much more than this will be needed to pay bills which fell due on the first of June. The only income in sight, aside from the regular returns from the water works system, is from taxes, which will not be due until next December, with the exception of a small amount of the current year's levy to be paid in next month. "To add to the gravity of the situation, the First National bank served notice on the trustees that no overdrafts will be honored. With this condition confronting it, the board practically decided last night to raise the water rate, which is now $1 per month, to $1.25 or $1.50: At the same time the electric lighting bill will be cut down by stopping all incandescent lights and burning only the arcs. "The present heavy expense which is being undertaken in connection with the paving will be met by forming an assessment district and levying the costs upon the property owners most benefitted by the work. All these items, which were discussed informally last night, will be made the subject of special legislation at the next meeting of the board."
