The High School Athletic Grounds Editor Gazette.—The following plans are likely to be adopted in laying out the high school grounds: The sheds will be removed from their present place to a more suitable position and the grounds made level. The tennis court will extend east and west immediately to the rear of the school building. By placing the baskets properly the same space may be used for laying out of two basket ball courts, to be used during basketball season. This arrangement will save considerable space. A baseball diamond, facing diagonally to the north and west will occupy the main field. Around this will be an oval running track, while extending along the west line will be a straight track about 500 feet in length. In the space east of the tennis court it is hoped that an outdoor gymnasium similar to the ones in Fullerton, Orange and Santa Ana, may be erected during the summer, for all thoughtful persons admit that the outdoor gymnasium is far better than one indoors. This gymnasium will be equipped with travelling rings, horizontal bar, ladders, poles for jumping, etc. The grounds thus layed out will be an ornament as well as a means of healthful exercise for our young men and women. The high school trustees in considering the proposed extension of Chestnut street suggest that the street follow the curve of the oval when that is corrected up in the treasury will agree in the treasurer's book and balance the road funds each month to solve whether right or wrong, as there him with the exception cash account should than the account in the er. This occurs in the ed funds, towit: Bolsa road fund—Au $158 37; treasurer's book said fund $17 65 in debt Newhope road—Au treasurer, $1012 65. San Juan road—Au treasurer, $1101 62. Westminster — Aud treasurer, $1226 15. Yorba—Auditor, $1007 54. Laurel school—Au treasurer, $989 25. Santa Ana High—Au treasurer, $3229 96. I have explained the intention of the books of the district attorney vised under the circuit the board of supervisoramination of the books for the purpose of discorrecting errors. I present this matter supervisors as several years have not been balanced years and the errors many several years, and I wish correct balance to start with books agree with the are correct.

This gymnasium will be equipped with travelling rings, horizontal bar, ladders, poles for jumping, etc. The grounds thus layed out will be an ornament as well as a means of healthful exercise for our young men and women. The high school trustees in considering the proposed extension of Chestnut street suggest that the street follow the curve of the oval running track around the school premises. They are willing to meet the real estate men half way, offering the territory outside the track for street purposes and have expressed their willingness to put in cement sidewalk around the rear of the plat when improvements have reached such a point as will warrant the expense. This curve in the road would render the locality all the more attractive to homeseekers and would remove forever the possibility of cutting through the grounds. The present rumor that the high school is too small and may be changed into a primary building is utterly without foundation. The high school building is amply large at present. There is an unused basement where two or more class-rooms could be located if necessary, and the only room that will be crowded for the next ten years is the assembly room, and it can be enlarged at a trifling cost. Moreover, the high school premises are the property of the high school district, and not of the Anaheim school district. It is a wise determination of the high school trustees, backed by the county superintendent, to meet half-way any reasonable proposal to increase the value of property in the neighborhood of the high school, but to resist to the limit any effort to cut up the property of the district.

Lester Discovers Errors A discrepancy in the books of the county auditor and treasurer was brought to light this week by County Auditor Lester, who addressed the following communication to the board of supervisors upon the subject: Gentlemen:—I have examined the books of the county treasurer in compliance with Sec. 4220 of the Political Code and have found a discrepancy in several of the different funds. The books of the auditor's office and treasurer's office show that the errors occurred prior to the present term of the present auditor and treasurer. The treasurer's books show that there should be the sum of $189,741.51 on the first of February, 1907, while the auditor's books show the amount to be $189,766.51. I have found the error made by ex-Auditor Hall and expired recently because he is an ardeer. Congressman James M much of the republic Los Angeles county a by McLachlan was o renomination of Go the governor shelved out ceremony as soon tunity presented itself derson also was named tier board for the sa cept that it was sus son's appointment m riot among members element in Orange co Huntington Beach At a mass-meeting ing Beach the other tions demanding tha of commerce and the manufacturers' associ Ana immediately plea to condemn and disci interference with Hu affairs by people of th were passed. The resolutions al pledge from the org tioned to co-operate wington Beach board that side of the river at the hands of the such matters as better tion and a good wago the two towns; also to curing the proposed line. In the event mands are granted, when that is corrected the total amount of the treasury will agree on the auditors and treasurer's books, but the accounts in the different funds seem to "muddled" and as the former auditor did not keep any ledger account of different road funds in the fund bank and balance the accounts of the funds each month it makes a problem to solve whether the treasurer is right or wrong, as there is no check on it with the exception that his actual account should not be smaller than the account in the auditor's ledger. This occurs in the following names, to wit: Holsea road fund—Auditor, $1146 15; Treasurer, $1012 65. Juan Juan road—Auditor, $1297 87; Treasurer, $1101 62. Westminster — Auditor, $1276 65; Treasurer, $1226 15. Morba—Auditor, $1026 54; treasurer, $107 54. Laurel school—Auditor, $1034 25; Treasurer, $989 25. Santa Ana High—Auditor, $3104 96; Treasurer, $3229 96. I have explained the muddled condition of the books of the auditor's office the district attorney and he has added under the circumstances to have board of supervisors order an examination of the books by an expert on the purpose of discovering and corroding errors. Present this matter to the board of supervisors as several of the accounts are not been balanced for several years and the errors may run back for several years, and I wish to have a correction you will give this your immediate agreement with the treasurer, if his incorrect. Huntington Beach agree to do all in their power to establish and maintain friendly relations with Santa Ana; but if denied the question of joining with Los Angeles county will be taken up and pushed with all possible vigor. W. T. Newland voiced his sentiments in the matter to a representative of a leading Los Angeles paper, by saying: "We had better be the tail end of Los Angeles county than the tail end of Orange county if they still continue to treat us in the next seven years as they have in the past seven years." This sentiment was endorsed by S. L. Blodget, W. L. McKenney, G. E. Phelps, J. W. Shirley and J. F. Corbett, all residents of the beach town. Farmers in the adjacent vicinity, however, are not in sympathy with the movement. Celery growers protest vigorously against the project to divide the management of the local drainage district and other similar affairs which they think require co-operation and unity of control. H. S. Hazeltine, celery grower and local manager for the California Vegetable Union at Huntington Beach, expressed himself as very much opposed to the change, saying that in his judgment no worse move could be made, either for the farmers or for the real interests of Huntington Beach. His expression was heartily endorsed by President George Moore of the Celery Growers' association, who said that undoubtedly it is to nation of the books by an expert the purpose of discovering and corlining errors. represent this matter to the board of servisors as several of the accounts not been balanced for several years and the errors may run back for several years, and I wish to have a corbalance to start with and have the books agree with the treasurer, if his correct. hooping you will give this your immetive attention, I have the honor to main, yours very respectfully, CAL. D. LESTER, County Auditor. Would Have Caused a Riot The Sacramento correspondent of Los Angeles News sends the foling interesting bit of political dispir from the state capitol: Governor Gillett will hand up to senate this week his list of appments, withdrawn a few weeks ago, because Governor Pardee had made selections without consulting his successor. Among the names to be the new governor’s selection are trustee of the state school at Whittier, and a trustee of the Los Angeles normal school, in addition regents of the state university. I indict James F. Clarke of Pasadena be chosen the successor of Sener Anderson of Orange, for the Whittier board, and while the govnor has chosen the proposed norschool trustee his identity is a secret as yet. On the appointment of Clarke to Whittier board is a story of convable political significance. Clarke has been a Whittier school trustee for years, and when his term expired recently he was displaced because he is an ardent admirer of aggressman James McLachlan. As such of the republican machine in Los Angeles county as is controlled McLachlan was opposed to the nomination of Governor Pardee, and governor shelved Clarke withceremony as soon as the opportunity presented itself. Senator Andrew Union at Huntington Beach, expressed himself as very much opposed to the change, saying that in his judgment no worse move could be made, either for the farmers or for the real interests of Huntington Beach. His expression was heartly endorsed by President George Moore of the Celery Growers’ association, who said that undoubtedly it is to the best interest of that section to stay with Orange county. Strong opposition to the move is also made by temperance people, especially in the farming district, who prefer to remain in the county whose law permits no saloon to be established. County Notes Notice of locations of mining claims in the Silverado canyon region are coming into the county recorder’s office by the score, and prospectors are as busy in the hills as they ever have been in this county. The other day a number ‘of claims were put in for filing by T. C. Williams of Los Angeles. The locator is D. J. Lewis, who is associated with Williams, L. C. Comer, J. C. Speil, E. R. Austin and several others, in staking out claims on everything in sight in the foothills to the east of Santa Ana. Comer is secretary of the Santa Ana Tin Mining company, which has done over $25,000 worth of work in the Trabuca canyon in the last year, and it is believed by some that the Santa Ana Tin Mining company is behind the operations of Williams and his associates. A short while ago Comer and Williams filed their locations on a large territory in Silverado canyon, above the prosperous Western Zinc company’s mines. The latest filings are on properties in Ladd’s canyon, above Hughes’s gulch. Among other locators in the distict are W. J. Burbank, Andy Wagner, Geo. F. Moser and C. Schader, refired recently he was displaced because he is an ardent admirer of Congressman James McLachlan. As much of the republican machine in Los Angeles county as is controlled by McLachlan was opposed to the nomination of Governor Pardee, the governor shelved Clarke with ceremony as soon as the opportunity presented itself. Senator Anson also was named on the Whitbread board for the same reason, except that it was suspected Ander's appointment might create a rift among members of a certainiment in Orange county. Huntington Beach Aroused At a mass-meeting held at Hunttington Beach the other night, resolutions demanding that the chamber commerce and the merchants' and manufacturers' association of Santa Ana immediately pledge themselves condemn and discourage further conference with Huntington Beachairs by people of the county seat, who passed. The resolutions also called for a judge from the organizations menned to co-operate with the Hunttington Beach board to secure for each side of the river just treatment of the hands of the supervisors in both matters as better river protection and a good wagon road between two towns; also to assist in setting the proposed new electric line. In the event that these demands are granted, the people of tions of Williams and his associates. A short while ago Comer and Williams filed their locations on a large territory in Silverado canyon, above the prosperous Western Zinc company’s mines. The latest filings are on properties in Ladd’s canyon, above Hughes’s gulch. Among other locators in the district are W. J. Burbank, Andy Wagner, Geo. F. Moser and C. Schader, who have a number of locations in Harding canyon, near the thirty-foot falls in that canyon. Miss Mildred Sparks, aged 13, started out from Santa Ana the other morning, determined to make her own way in the world. She told friends she would run away to Los Angeles, and she did as she said she would. The pretty little girl boarded a car for Los Angeles, but when she got there she found a detention officer awaiting her. She was held until the sheriff brought her home. Forest Ranger Stephenson, now station at Elsinore, has been issuing permits to ranchers who want to graze cattle or other stock on the range this year. The permits are for the year beginning April 1 next, and all applications must be in with the forest ranger before March 1. Government experts have decided that the Trabuco forest reserve should not support more than 500 head of cattle. The indications now are that applications for a great many more than 500 cattle will be asked, but the cutting down in all probability will be most of it on the Elsinore side.
