Cow It must be a blending of friendly acts, coupled with conservative business tact. Our sidewalk improvements have added very materially to the looks and convenience of Anaheim. Our city electric lighting is one of the best in the state, as also the water works, as far as it goes. At present our municipal light and water plant is working to its fullest capacity, to supply the needs of the present consumers, with more and more tax-paying citizens asking for the privilege of having the municipal light and water. We have carefully considered the just demands of our fellow cisizens and in justice to them and to those who will hereafter locate in Anaheim, we have, after a careful examination of the existing condition of our plant, found it necessary to increase its capacity to supply the increasing demands for light and water, and make provision for future needs. After careful advisement, it is the sense of the board of trustees of the city of Anaheim that to meet the needs of its fellow citizens for water, light and fuel, the necessities of life, that they have a bond issue, whereby we can get sufficient funds to pay for the necessary extension of our present plant; and the members of the board want every available progressive citizen to come to the city hall Nov. 11th, and do what he can to assist in a satisfactory voting of bonds. LOUIS S. FLETCHER. COLORADO GRAIN EXPERT. Robert Gauss of Denver, has accomplished such wonderful results in developing grain seed that will grow on the arid plains of the West without irrigation, that he has attracted the attention of the government experts and has had a flattering offer to devote his entire time to the work which means so much to the West. For fifteen years Mr. Gauss has been carrying on his experiments and has at last achieved results which he hardly dared dream of at first. He has varieties of wheat, oats, barley and rye which will give a remarkable yield without irrigation other than that of the slight rainfall on the plains.

He has varieties of wheat, oats, barley and rye which will give a remarkable yield without irrigation other than that of the slight rainfall on the plains. His experiments with corn lead him to believe he has almost succeeded there, which would mean that the vast prairie land between the corn belt of Kansas and Nebraska and the Rocky Mountains, where little but sage brush grows, may soon be corn country. He is an editorial writer on the Denver Republican, and has his experimental farm near Denver. Free Training of Nurses By the terms of a fund to be administered in connection with the Philadelphia School for Nurses, Witherspoon Building, Philadelphia, a number of young women from every county will receive free training in nursing. It is planned to ultimately reach and help in this way every village and township. Young women of small towns and country districts are to be favored. The young women will be provided with room, board, nurse uniforms and all the refinements of a well-appointed Christian home. At graduation the diploma of the School and the Order of the Red Cross will be conferred, qualifying for practice in any state or country; the railroad fare will then be paid back home. Those applying and chosen to receive the benefits of this fund will be given two years' training, with a rich experience in nursing the sick poor of the city under skilled leaders. The ANAHEIM, CALIFORNIA, THURSDAY, OCTOBER 5, may be shortened to eighteen months by taking a preliminary course six months' reading and study at. A special short course enables women to quickly qualify them for self support and a substancome. Addition to regular nursing, the women are taught how to pretheir own health; how to recogavoid and destroy contagion; how to establish and maintain perfect saniconditions about the home; they prepared for positions as office and physician's assistant; they practical knowledge of City Missmovements, Deaconess training, age settlement work, and are ed for special positions of trust in instutions. The school is ten years old and is end by physicians, leading educaand prominent men throughout country. HUNTINGTON BEACH.

EDITOR GAZETTE.—You have given the good people of Anaheim some useful information regarding municipal ownership and regarding the Edison electric company which is seeking to establish a monopoly of light, power and gas in the cities of California and in other states. And your people are certainly to be congratulated that they were never subjected to the Edison Co. as we have been in Santa Ana. Poor service at a high price has been the rule here. Two years ago we voted bonds, $60,000 at 4½ per cent for 20 years, to establish a city electric light plant. The Edison company succeeded in preventing the sale of these bonds, and they were lately burned up by order of the council.

And your people are certainly to be congratulated that they were never subjected to the Edison Co. as we have been in Santa Ana. Poor service at a high price has been the rule here. Two years ago we voted bonds, $60,000 at 4½ per cent for 20 years, to establish a city electric light plant. The Edison company succeeded in preventing the sale of these bonds, and they were lately burned up by order of the council. The friends of the Edison company rejoiced, and a certain gentleman was overheard to say: "We have squelched city ownership for a while." Our effort to regulate the price was also defeated, at least in part. This forms a chapter by itself. But the people are not to be defeated. The people will win! Tonight a petition was presented to the city board of trustees requesting them to call for a bond election for a city electric light plant and also a city gas plant. The petition had 669 names or more than half of the last vote cast which was the heaviest ever cast here, namely 1297. We may safely predict that the issue will carry 6 to 1. The petition was ordered filed and the city attorney instructed to prepare a resolution calling for a bond election for both electric light and gas plant. This motion was carried by the unanimous vote of the four trustees present and received the hearty applause of the audience. Every seat of the 112 in the city council chamber was filled and some people had to stand up. There was no comment and no discussion, but the audience present was there with the firm determination to see things move. Thus the first round in the battle between the people and the Edison company was won by the people. The Edison company's tactics will be closely watched, and The People Will Win! Yours sincerely, J.

Modjeska will not appear in York, in view of the fact that she already made a formal fare-appearance there, but will commer tour at some other eastern and come westward, finishing on Pacific coast. Her husband, Count Walters, will accompany her. Road to Run Through Orange County, Thence to Oceanside and Across San Diego County to Yuma One of the largest railway enterprises of the age is said to lie behind the recent purchase of more than $1,-000,000 worth of land in San Diego county by a syndicate composed of Mr. Huntington's friends and associates. An eletric transcontinental road connecting San Diego directly with the East is predicted by those who have followed the transactions. The strip of land recently purchased extends from Oceanside to Warner's ranch, the latter being on the summit of Warner Pass, through the mountains, which is the logical course for a new eastern route. If this transcontinental road is built the present interurban service which Mr. Huntington is developing will become an important feeder. Engineers have long been predicting the use of electricity for transcontinental lines. Mr. Huntington is said to have desired to build the first of such roads. Warner's ranch is half way from San Diego to Yuma. It is said that the purchase price paid for the land is $900,000, and that a check for $90,000 passed as payment of the first 10 percent of the price. Other large pieces of property sold are: Simon Goldbaum ranch of 530 acres, for $34,450; Herbert Crouch's ranch of 880 acres, for $26,-400; the Pauma ranch of 13,000 acres, for $85,00C; the George Doane ranch of 640 acres, for $24,000; the Booker ranch of 480 acres, for $3500; the Clark excerpt is taken: "The Pathological Oasis meet probably on Oceanside and hour of meeting wi probably before you get nouncement made in If you do not see any papers before the 5th H.

OCTOBER 5, 1905 NUMBER 50 BUENA PARK A farewell party was given Friday evening at the home of Miss Eleanora Kee in honor of Miss Mandye Stone, who leaves soon for her home in Artesia. The table was decorated with carnations, violets and ferns. Refreshments were served. The evening was spent with games. Miss Mitchell of Olive spent Saturday and Sunday with her cousin, Miss Kee. Miss Stone and Miss Kee spent Monday in Los Angeles. Miss Annie Hunter and Miss Baker of Fullerton were guests of I. R. Williams and family on Sunday. Rev. D. H. Horine of Whittier occupied the pulpit in the Congregational church on Sunday morning and evening. Rev. Corbin returned on Monday from Pasadena, where he had been in attendance upon the Southern California Congregational association. The electric railway surveyors are at work in the La Habra valley. It is supposed that they are proving up on the old survey. Mr. Allen of South Pasadena, who owns upwards of 700 acres of land just west of the Park. Los Angeles by way of Santa Ana, Seaside and Warner’s ranch to Yuma, which would be no longer than the Southern Pacific road to the same town. The grades would be as easy as pose on the existing line, while it would also afford close connection with San Diego at Oceanside, and furnish to the southern city the outlet to the west which has been of San Diego for many years. It would also pass through Imperial valley and thus give the eastern end of San Diego county direct communication with its county at Citizens of Imperial now go to San Diego by way of Los Angeles, traveling 300 miles to cover a distance of 100 miles. It has been known for several months that San Diego citizens, including U. Grant, George W. Marston and others prominent in the affairs of the town, have been at work quietly on a new tack to secure an outlet for the way to the east, and these purchases by associates of H. E. Huntington are condued to be a clue to the negotiations which have been pending. In building its line from Old Beach through Imperial, now being extended to Yuma, the Southern Pacific has approached within 100 miles of San Diego. Warner’s ranch is only about quarter miles from Imperial, and now that the great railroad interests are working with the same degree of armony experienced in past year! It has been thought possible by railroad man that the Southern Pacific could be expected to build to San Diego from the Imperial country. Pathological Commission. Mr. Neff yesterday received a letter from Gov. Pardee relative to the appeaching meeting of the Pathological Commission, from which the following excerpt is taken: The Pathological Commission will get probably on Oct. 12th. Place hour of meeting will be determined probably before you get this, and announcement made in the newspapers. You do not see any notice in the letters before the 5th, a telegram to V. Henderson, Berkeley, will bring information. I wish you would that the word is spread among people. Very respectfully, "GEORGE C. PARDEE." Rev. Corbin returned on Monday from Pasadena, where he had been in attendance upon the Southern California Congregational association. The electric railway surveyors are at work in the La Habra valley. It is supposed that they are proving up on the old survey. Mr. Allen of South Pasadena, who owns upwards of 700 acres of land just west of the Park, is taking an active interest toward securing a line to the Park and on to Fullerton and Anaheim and seems to be just the man for that mission. It is understood that the chambers of commerce of Anaheim and Fullerton are working in harmony toward getting the electric line and with the aid of Mr. Allen and other progressive citizens it is confidently expected that good results will be obtained. Mrs. McKaughan’s health continues unfavorable but it is hoped that she may speedily recover. Speaking of annexing the territory to the west of the Park to Orange county, the prominent citizens here declare that would be the only thing to do, looking to the best interests of all, providing Los Angeles consolidates. With this additional territory Orange county would forge ahead up among the very best of them. A gentleman up on matters political, avers that Anaheim is rightfully entitled to the office of supervisor next year. The Park delegation will stand pat with Anaheim on that score and it would thus appear that the proposition would be a winner, quote the gentleman aforesaid. Messrs. Brown, McDonald and McCoy, three warriors bold, went out for a ride Sunday and incidentally had a weather eye out for game along the road. All went well until the homeward trip began. Cu-chugl went the buggy in a ruthole and a spring broke. Further along on the journey, for some unaccountable reason, one of the shafts snapped in two, and after arriving home thus handicapped, in taking the gun out of the rig and walking toward the house with it, one of the hammers clicked and fell off. Now the boys are talking about hoodoos and things. W. S. Taylor has rented 700 acres in the McNally ranch and will seek the tract to barley. The Pathological Commission will meet probably on Oct. 12th. Place all hour of meeting will be determined probably before you get this, and announcement made in the newspapers. You do not see any notice in the papers before the 5th, a telegram to V. Henderson, Berkeley, will bring information. I wish you would that the word is spread among our people. Very respectfully, "GEORGE C. PARDEE." The committee appointed by the Chamber of Commerce to appear before the commission is composed of J. Neff and C. C. Chapman. It is understood the commission will meet in Los Angeles, and will subsequently visit the different sites offered. Americans Insulted AL PASO, Tex., Sept. 29.—During celebration of a Mexican holiday in Newel, state of Chihuahua, some Mexicans grossly insulted the Americans other foreigners on the streets, even stoned the houses of foreign residents. The better element of Mexicans, however, did not participate in the demonstration. The foreigners all mass meetings and put the matter one hands of United States Consulting, who is the only foreign consul that city. He will demand an apology. Parral is in a rich mining section with several hundred foreign students. The Mexican police failed to make any arrests, and afterward maintained that their force was insufficient, and that it would have precipitated a riot had they attempted to take arrests. Bank Walters has been shipping crates of okra daily to the Harcoring houses along the Santa Fe as well as tomatoes and other table delicacies. He receives top prices. Portland Fair Awards The California commissioners at the Portland exposition have withdrawn all entries made by this state for premiums at the great fair and their action has been approved by Governor Pardee. The trouble is over the rules made by the committee on awards. They require three samples of everything entered for premiums to be submitted to the judges; and these samples must all be taken away from the California building or any other building where they are displayed and carted off somewhere for the judges to pass on them. In explaining his action, Governor Pardee says: "Imagine the absurdity of asking our exhibitors to surrender three samples of everything to be judged, such samples to be taken away from the exhibit and stored outside the building. Assuming, for example, that there were 1000 kinds of wine. We are asked to hand over 3000 bottles to be removed from the favorable conditions of our exhibit into unfavorable conditions elsewhere. It was to be the same with everything—three samples must be given up. We were willing to give every facility for judging in our building, but we objected to have the exhibits moved. There were, of course, other reasons also, but they all come under the head of what our people call unfair methods."
