He sees a very bright future for this locality and is in a position to materially advance the interests of this section. Woodmen of the World entertained the Santa Ana camp and a large circle of friends at the operahouse on Wednesday evening last.

Col. S. H. Finley of Santa Ana said to have cleaned up $50,000 realty deal at Huntington Beach a days ago. In August, 1903, while gaged in surveying a tract of land for a gun club, he purchased lengthy strip lying along the water edge, between the Southern Park tracks and the ocean. The gun purchased a tract to the landward end of the tracks and have since made considerable improvements upon holding. Finley, forseeing that day the strip might be valuable, chased it for $120.

Municipal ownership lights our streets free by furnishing 33 arcs costing elsewhere at $6 per arc, $2476 per year. Municipal ownership last year turned into the city treasury a surplus of $654. Why turn the plant over to the Edison company for a yearly premium of $1000? The razing of the old Del Campo hotel, which began on Monday, will remove a source of danger from fire to the neighborhood which has doubtless deterred building operations in the immediate vicinity. The building has long since passed into disuse, except as furnishing cheap lodgings. Now that the structure is soon to be removed we may reasonably look for active build- ing operations in the neighborhood. The Future of Anaheim MR.

The razing of the old Del Campo hotel, which began on Monday, will remove a source of danger from fire to the neighborhood which has doubtless deterred building operations in the immediate vicinity. The building has long since passed into disuse, except as furnishing cheap lodgings. Now that the structure is soon to be removed we may reasonably look for active building operations in the neighborhood, for the section is one of the best in town. The building was erected in 1888, and cost originally, with the ground upon which it stands, $40,000. It fell into the hands of a Los Angeles bank, which had advanced money upon it, and was recently sold for $5000. Men are now at work demolishing the old pile, and it will soon pass into the limbo of forgotten things. Captain Stern of Company E has issued the following order relative to the parade of his Company at Los Angeles on the Fourth: COMPANY ORDER NO. 3. Armory Co. E, 7th Inf't'y, N. G. C.

The ceremony was performed at the residence of the bride's sister at Pasadena Wednesday evening of last week.

The ceremony was performed at the residence of the bride's sister at Pasadena Wednesday evening of last week. The bridal couple were central figures in a thrilling runaway accident which occurred immediately after leaving the bride's residence, which for a time threatened a lamentable conclusion of the festivities. A correspondent says of the mishap: The thrilling incident occurred about 10 o'clock, as the bride and groom were leaving the residence followed by a crowd of friends who showered them with rice. Mr. and Mrs. Slaughter entered their vehicle and Abbey, the driver, proceeded to mount to the seat. As he did so his foot caught in the reins and the horses were suddenly jerked backwards. At this moment part of the shower of rice fell upon the nervous animals and they darted ahead. Abbey was thrown to the ground. The horrified spectators screamed, increasing the terror of the team, which was soon galloping at breakneck speed, the unfortunate driver still entangled in the reins and dragging on the pavement. As the horses tore along Mrs. Slaughter leaned out of the swaying vehicle and caught hold of one of Abbey's hands. By exerting all her strength she was able to lift the imperiled driver clear of the ground and so held him until the horses were stopped a mile from the place where they had started. The driver was removed to a hospital where it was found that one of his legs was broken and he had been severely bruised. Mr. Slaughter sustained a scalp wound and bruises as a result of the mishap. Mrs. Slaughter, to whose courage and presence of mind Abbey probably owes his life, suffered only a severe strain on her nerves.

Sad Sad Rites The last tribute of respect to the memory of the late H. A. McWilliams was paid at his late residence on Broadway on Thursday afternoon, June 22d. The remains lay in the front parlor in a casket hidden under banks of flowers. The funeral services were under the auspices of the local lodge of Odd Fellows. Members of that lodge and the ladies of the Rebekahs marched from the lodgeroom to the house of morning. The funeral service of the lodge was performed by Noble Grand Harry Dyer and Chaplain F. C. Spencer. Rev. Johnson of the Methodist church offered prayer. The lodge quartet sang "Rock of Ages" and "Jesus, Lover of My Soul." At the grave the lodge burial service was performed, while many eyes were in tears as the casket was lowered into its last resting place. Accompanying the Odd Fellows and Rebekahs of this city were the following members of the Santa Ana encampment: R. S. Dickenson, chief patriarch; W. B. Tedford, treasurer; R. L. Freeman, scribe; Edd Bradley, senior warden; G. E. Peters, Theo. Lacy, Geo. Wilson, G. A. Riley, J. R. Murdo, W. H, Anderson. Brethren were also present from Westminster, Fullerton and Olive. The esteem in which deceased was held was testified to by the many who were present at the burial service. Rarely has more keen regret been felt over the loss of a citizen. Peace to his ashes.

Peace to his ashes. Resolutions of Condolence Hall of Anaheim Lodge, I. O. O. F. Anaheim, Cal., June 22, 1905. Whereas, Death having removed from among us Brother H. A. McWilliams, it is deemed fitting that the members of this lodge should place on record an expression of their sincere sorrow. Brother McWilliams has been a member of this lodge since March 22, 1892, and from the beginning of his membership until incapacitated by sickness, he was an enthusiastic worker for the good of the order and his lodge, faithful to all the high principles which should actuate every true Odd Fellow, and never shirked any duty which devolved upon him as a member of the order. Therefore, be it Resolved, That we sincerely regret the death of our Brother, and that we shall sorely miss his kindly presence and valuable counsel in our lodge room. Resolved, that our sympathy be extended to his stricken relatives, with the assurance that this lodge mourns with them in their loss. Resolved, That a copy of these resolutions be given to the widow of our deceased brother, and be published in the local newspapers; and that the charter of this lodge be draped in mourning for thirty days. Soil Culture The following dispatch was published by the Associated Press on Friday: "Soil culture and its possibilities, is an interesting problem. I am gathering material on it for publication soon," said William E. Curtis, special writer of the Chicago Record-Herald, who is making a tour of the West. "The Campbell system of soil culture is a good one. I saw the results of the work in Eastern Colorado and Western Kansas. The farmers using the system are raising from thirty to forty bushels of wheat to the acre, while those using the irrigation system are glad to get twelve to fifteen bushels. "The system will solve the problem of the semi-arid regions of the west, and will make them the garden spots of America. The system can be put into use by any intelligent farmer.

"The system will solve the problem of the semi-arid regions of the west, and will make them the garden spots of America. The system can be put into use by any intelligent farmer. There is nothing difficult or mysterious about it. It raises farming from an uncertain hand-to-mouth existence to an investment as solid as a government bond proposition." John Hanna, Esq., of Miraflores in commenting upon the dispatch says he practices a similar system in his walnut orchard south of town. Mr. Hanna is a firm believer in soil culture, as against irrigation, and points to his orchard as a testimonial in support of his theory. Card of Thanks The undersigned desire hereby to express their sincere thanks to all for kind assistance and words of sympathy expressed during the hour of their affliction consequent upon the death of husband and father.
