SANTA ANA City Attorney Heathman was much annoyed last Tuesday night, when Street Superintendent Ward at the Council meeting laid upon him the blame for the failure of a street resolution "to hold water." The city had gone through the steps for repaving West Fourth street, from Broadway to the west line of Birch street, and Tuesday night, when the resolution ordering the work was presented, the Street Superintendent noticed that it read "east line of Birch street" instead of "west line." The resolution had been prepared by the City Attorney, who said he had never heard the work was to go to the west line. "I told him twice myself," said Ward, "and then the City Engineer and I both told him about it." Heathman turned in his chair and said, with heat: "You talk too much. You are too durn previous. You are not constituted a person to lecture me. Hear me?" Mayor McFadden called for order. The Trustees are tied up over a franchise for a spur track for the Santa Fe across East Fourth street. It takes four out of the five votes to grant the franchise. Two men want a clause included giving the city permission to allow any other railroad to use the tracks. The Santa Fe objects to the clause, and three of the Trustees believe the ordinance is stringent enough without it. The Supervisors on Wednesday took the side of Broadway property owners against the city street department. On the request of the street department, the board signed a petition for paving Broadway from Fifth street to Hickey, on which strip the County Courthouse joins. Property owners asked the Supervisors to NEWPORT BEACH Two hundred and sixty boys and officers of the Boys Brigade of Los Angeles, Pomona and Pasadena are in camp at Corona Del Mar and will remain there until Wednesday of next week. Portions of members of seven companies are present, with State President Leslie G. Bryant of Los Angeles in charge as camp commander. Eight churches are represented, being the First Methodist, Congregational and First Presbyterian of Pomona; First Baptist of Pasadena; First Congregational, First Salem, First Park Congregational and Echo Park Methodist of Los Angeles. Strict military discipline is maintained and the camp is conducted on military lines. The camp is located on the bluffs and commands a fine view of the ocean and bay. The boys are enjoying themselves to the limit, for the routine of the day is not all work. A period in the forenoon is devoted to bathing in the bay or ocean and in the afternoon there are field events. The George Hart Company has given a free site for the camp and provided the provisional regiment with transportation and other conveniences. Funds for the camp were raised by each boy contributing $4.00. Features most interesting to the public are guard mount, which takes place at 8:30 a.m. and regimental drill at 5:30 p.m. Visitors are welcome at any time during the day. Visitors will not be received on Sunday and only parents of members will be permitted to pass through the guard lines on Sunday. The organization is a religious institution and is not in camp for show purposes, and therefore Sunday will be strictly observed. The Y. M. C. A. of Los Angeles is also in camp at Coronado Mar and Prof. Adams of Yale school has established a camp there for boys who live road to use the tracks. The Santa Fe objects to the clause, and three of the Trustees believe the ordinance is stringent enough without it. The Supervisors on Wednesday took the side of Broadway property owners against the city street department. On the request of the street department, the board signed a petition for paving Broadway from Fifth street to Hickey, on which strip the County Courthouse joins. Property owners asked the Supervisors to withdraw from the petition, which they did. The city's new system of collecting dog licenses has proven successful. Last year a dog catcher from Los Angeles was hired to round up the delinquents, and the usual unpleasant scenes and bitterness occurred. The trustees authorized a change in system. This year dogs were assessed at $2 per head. The city marshal has almost completed the work of collecting under the assistance of a dog catcher, and has taken in 10 per cent more money than was obtained last year. This week twenty dogs will be killed, the owners preferring to have the animals slain rather than pay $2 to keep them alive. Co. L of this city will go to the Seventh Regiment encampment at Bay City July 20 with over fifty men. The company had a slump last winter and mustering out was threatened. A new captain, N. A. Ulm, was elected, and under his leadership it has gotten into first-class shape. Jacob Strub, the man sent from here to the State Hospital at Patton several months ago for insanity, was discharged from that institution several days ago and has arrived here to settle up his affairs. With Strub came Frank Erath, proprietor of the Superior Bakery at Salt Lake City, in whose employ Strub was for over a year. Strub wrote to Erath while he was at Patton and asked him to interest himself in Strub's case, claiming to have been railroaded to the asylum. Erath is here on a pleasure trip and while in Southern California thought he would visit Strub at Patton, but when he went there he was informed that Strub had been given his discharge as recovered. Then Erath decided to come here and assist Strub in settling his affairs, and he came here and interviewed the District Attor while he was at Patton and asked him to interest himself in Strub's case, claiming to have been railroaded to the asylum. Erath is here on a pleasure trip and while in Southern California thought he would visit Strub at Patton, but when he went there he was informed that Strub had been given his discharge as recovered. Then Erath decided to come here and assist Strub in settling his affairs, and he came here and interviewed the District Attorney. It is understood Strub had several hundred dollars in a local bank and when he was adjudged incompetent, Sid Smithwick was appointed by the court as his guardian. Erath says Strub is a first-class baker and that he intends taking him back to Salt Lake City with him. One of the most remarkable yields of barley in this county, which is noted for its productiveness, was made on twelve acres owned by H. T Metzger. The piece was threshed last week by R. H. English, and 309 sacks turned out, each averaging 120 pounds. English, a veteran thresher, says it was the best yield he has ever known. The County Board of Education has let a contract to Mitchell & Ramsey for the erection of a four-room schoolhouse at Olinda, the price being $5824. Fire did $500 worth of damage at the Home Bakery, 417 West Fourth street, Thursday morning. The loss is covered by insurance. Flames broke out at 4:25 o'clock in a small storeroom. Firemen broke in the front door and put out the fire. Smoke filled the Florence Apartments, above the bakery, and tenants rushed into the street, believing the building was in danger. Norman B. Tedford of Anaheim, a native of Canada, has taken cut his first naturalization papers. BUENA PARK The Pacific Telephone Company is making arrangements to discontinue the central office at this point, and will serve Buena Park patrons through the Fullerton exchange. The Misses Gladys Conger, Margaret Martin and Messrs. Jack Thompson and Ray Hasson gave a lawn tennis party at the home of Mr. and Mrs. George Wilcox one afternoon the past week.

OUR DECREASING NATIONAL DEBT The social philosophers who are saying that all the great nations are increasing their debts so rapidly that they are headed for bankruptcy, are mistaken when they include the United States in this roll. The debt here is decreasing and not increasing. It is decreasing absolutely. In proportion to population the decrease is, of course, much more marked. A comparison with Japan will furnish a fair illustration of the difference between the United States and the principal nations of the Old World in this particular. Japan's interest-bearing debt in 1878 was $33,000,000. In 1909 it is, in round figures, $1,120,000,000. The interest-bearing debt of the United States was $1,800,000,000 in 1878. It is $913,000,000 today. While our debt is only about half as great as it was 31 years ago, Japan's is 34 times as large as it was at that time. And while we were reducing our indebtedness our population was growing rapidly. The annual interest charge on our debt amounted to $2 for each man, woman and child in the country in 1878. It is 22 cents in 1909. In the 21 years in which our debt was cut in half, our aggregate wealth was tripled, increasing from $40,000,000,000 in 1878 to $120,000,000,000 in 1909. EFFECT OF OXYGEN IN COAL Recent investigations by the United States Geological Survey have shown that oxygen, so essential to all life, forms in coal an impurity that is almost as injurious as the ash content. The subject is, of course, of great importance to the consumer, whether he be a manufacturer using hundreds of tons or a householder who has to supply only a furnace. David White, an account of whose investigations on the subject has just been published by the Geological Survey as Bulletin 382, was led to these conclusions in the course of work undertaken in an attempt to devise an acceptable classification of the many different sorts of coals. He states that oxygen and ash are of very nearly equal negative value, ash being probably a little more injurious in most coals; and that the calorific value of coals in general is indicated by the balance between the total carbon on the one hand and the sum of the two great impurities, oxygen and ash, on the other. The practical application of these statements appears in considering the effect of the exposure of coal to the weather. OFFICERS AND PRESIDENT, VICE PRIME Adolph Thomas.

YORBA YORBA, July 11.-John the older son of Martin Huarte, fell off a wall on today and broke his arm and caused his head so severely that eleven stones had to be taken to close up the wound. For awhile concussion the brain was feared. The surgeon hastily summoned from Fullerton said it will take a day or two to determine if he is out of danger. There was an exciting runaway day when the Misses Coronado and Garcia, who were out driving, and meeting a train, their horse bolting and ran for about a mile when ran into a ditch where he was finally caught. The young ladies measured while leaped out and escaped with few brushes. A brush fire started down by the river bed yesterday which for awhile threatened a number of houses and hay and a lot of grain stored near... at that time. And while we were reducing our indebtedness our population was growing rapidly. The annual interest charge on our debt amounted to $2 for each man, woman and child in the country in 1878. It is 22 cents in 1909. In the 21 years in which our debt was cut in half, our aggregate wealth was tripled, increasing from $40,000,000,000 in 1878 to $120,000,000,000 in 1909. Miss Ida Harris of San Bernardino, a cousin of Mrs. Richard Fischle, is here on a visit at the Fischle home at West Anaheim. The two ladies had never before had the pleasure of meeting one another.

The Little Lawyer Man It was a little lawyer man Who softly blushed as he began Her poor dead husband's will to scan. He smiled while thinking of his fee. Then said to her so tenderly, "You have a nice, fat legacy." And when, next day, he lay in bed With bandages upon his head. He wondered what on earth he said. The increase of the oxygen content permits a calorific deficiency, which, on account of the high anticalorific value of oxygen, is often serious. It is possible that in many cases considerable increase of oxygen and consequently loss of efficiency are suffered by the lower-class fuels between removal from the bed and consumption; and it is probable that in the subbituminous coals, and more especially in the lignites, oxygenation begins immediately after the coal is blasted from the face of the mine. A comparison of the calorific values of the car and mine samples seems to warrant the apprehension that in some cases at least considerable deterioration occurs. The amount of loss depends not only on the kind of coal, but also on the condition of AMERICAN SAVING OF ANAHEIM Start an account today— There may be a hole in your pocket Thursday, July 15 of the Growth and Progress OF THE = American Bank MERCIAL AND SAVINGS business Jan.8,1906.

In the matter of the Estate o C. W. Marden, Deceased. J. P. Greeley, executor of the last Will and Testament of C. W. Marden, deceased, having presented to this Court and filed herein his verified petition, in due form of law, praying for an order for the sale of all the real property and certain of the personal property of said C. W. Marden, deceased, for the purposes therein set forth, and it appearing to this court, by said petition that it would be for the advantage, benefit and best interests of the estate and those interested therein, to sell the whole of the real estate, and that it is necessary to sell certain of the personal property to pay the debts outstanding against said deceased, and the debts, expenses and charges of administration, and that said personal property will depreciate in value by being kept. It is therefore ordered by this Court, that all persons interested in the estate of said deceased appear before said Court on Friday, the 20th day of August, 1909, at 10 o'clock A.M. of said day, at the court room of said Court in the City of Santa Ana in said County of Orange, to show cause why an order should not be granted to said executor to sell the whole of the real estate and certain of the personal estate of said deceased, at either private or public sale, as said executor shall judge to be most beneficial for the estate, and that a copy of this order be published once a week for four successive weeks in the Anaheim Gazette, a newspaper printed and published in said county.
