C., passed through town yesterday evening in automobiles, on a tour of principal points in Orange county. The drive began at Santa Ana at 1:30 and included stops at Tustin, Orange, Olive, Placentia, Fullerton and this city. School children from the city schools, Loara and St. Catherine’s academy to the number of 800, carrying flags, were massed at the Central school building and greeted the veterans as they arrived. They sang “America” and other patriotic songs and waved their flags. The singing was conducted by Miss Edna Ames, instructor of singing in the public schools. The veterans stood bare headed while the children sang. Richard Melrose, Esq., delivered an address of welcome, and Dr. Wickett, chairman of the chamber of commerce, and Secretary Enfield, George L.

The Grand Army encampment, department of California and Nevada, is in annual session at Santa Ana, which is profusely decorated with flags and bunting in honor of the distinguished visitors. Thursday a parade will occur at Santa Ana in honor of Appomatox Day, which marked the close of the civil war. On that day 43 years ago Gen. Lee surrendered to Gen. Grant. The streets and business houses were decorated with flags and patriotic bunting in honor of the veterans. The chamber of commerce suspended its large new flag across Center street in honor of the event. Company E of this city, under command of Lieut. Kellenberger, will go to Santa Ana today to participate in the parade. Anaheim Defeats Pomona Anaheim high school defeated Pomona high at the latter place on Friday evening by a score of 53½ to 49¾. The question was, Resolved, That the United States should subsidize our merchant marine. Anaheim supported the negative side. George Chambers and Oscar Heying debated for Anaheim, while Clyde Harms and Mr. Spaythe appeared for Pomona. Principal Walker, Prof. Steinbach and a number of students accompanied the debaters. This is the last debate of the season. Anaheim high has won one out of three debates, and will be compelled to relinquish control of the championship trophy, which it won last year by taking four straight victories, one from Santa Ana, one from Throop, one from Pasadena, and defeating the latter again in finals. The school retains the honorship honor for 1006. Honorably Reinstated Fred Schmidt, foreman of builders for the Santa E., week reinstated in his position three months' lay-off. In Jan. man whom he had given emply turned informer, and wrote some disparaging things to the general man concerning him that that official called upon Schmidt who latter was engaged in building a near San Diego. He said he number of "Brownies" to chase against Schmidt's account. The latter replied that he had in the service of the company years, and he believed his title come.

Principal Walker, Prof. Steinbach and a number of students accompanied the debaters. This is the last debate of the season. Anaheim high has won one out of three debates, and will be compelled to relinquish control of the championship trophy, which it won last year by taking four straight victories, one from Santa Ana, one from Throop, one from Pasadena, and defeating the latter again in finals. The school retains the championship banner for 1906. In February of this year the school lost to Poly high by one of the judges marking it too high, his decision, according to the rules, being thrown out because it outweighed the combined points of the other two judges. This judge decided in favor of Anaheim 66½ to 33¼. Although it accurately reflected the sentiment expressed by the audience, it was thrown out, and the school lost by a close margin. In November last the school lost to Hollywood on the Philippine question, taking the negative upon the question of granting independence to the Filipino. It lost out, and how it came to do so has been puzzling the oldest inhabitant ever since. Anaheim should really have had three victories this year. Santa Ana and Long Beach will debate for the championship. Peter Weisel on Saturday sold two Moline touring cars, one to J. J. Schneider, the other to Julius Kruger. On Monday he sold a Ford runabout to Dr. Johnston. John Hartung has been confined to his residence for a week or more past with an attack of pleurisy and threatened pneumonia.

Got His Wires Crossed A man decided to go to Santa Ana the other day, and boarded the 4:14 p.m. southbound over the Santa Fe. He desired to return the same evening, and seeing he would have but little time at the county seat telephoned his party to meet him at the depot. When the conductor took up his ticket he asked the man where he was going. "I'm going to Santa Ana," said he. "This train goes to Orange," replied the conductor. The man never said a word. He waited on the train until it made the return trip, came home and said nothing about it. The next day he tried the Southern City Election Interest seems to be manifest-city election, which occurs Polls will be open at the m 6 o'clock a.m. to 6 p.m. has soliciting suffrages of follows: Statees (two to elect)—G.

When the conductor took up his ticket he asked the man where he was going. "I'm going to Santa Ana," said he. "This train goes to Orange," replied the conductor. The man never said a word. He waited on the train until it made the return trip, came home and said nothing about it. The next day he tried the Southern Pacific. He boarded the 1 o'clock southbound. When the conductor called for his ticket he asked the man where he was going. The man replied as he had done the day before that he was going to Santa Ana. "This train goes to Tustin," said the conductor. The man alighted at Tustin Junction and hiked into town. He's trying to keep it dark, but Mr. Rea knows who he is. Travelling Passenger Agent Moore of the Santa Fe was in town Tuesday, making final arrangements for the series of fleet excursions to San Diego next month. His company expects to handle the largest business during fleet week that it has yet enjoyed since entering California, and preparations for transporting the crowds to San Diego and return are being made on a comprehensive scale. Mr. Moore has called on his company for every engine and every car available in its service, and although the crowds will be large he proposes to see that all will have the usual accommodations in day coaches or sleepers. Indications are that more Orange county people will go to San Diego to see Admiral Evans' fleet than ever traveled over the road.
