HUNTINGTON BEACH Racy Happenings at Quiet Seaside Resort HUNTINGTON BEACH.—A sensational arrest, following a fight at the Huntington Inn, Friday night, was made here on Saturday. Clarence E. Willey, manager of the inn, was arrested by City Marshall Wright on a warrant sworn out by Mrs. Margaret O'Connor, charging him with selling liquor to guests. He was released on bail, but was again arrested on a warrant sworn out by the same person before Justice J. W. Shirley, charging Willey with permitting the use of rooms in the Huntington Inn for purposes of assignation. The affair has caused a tremendous sensation here, as the parties who are accused of renting the rooms and bringing women here for immoral purposes, are well-known throughout Orange county. It appears from statements made to City Attofney Blodgett by the prosecuting witness that her husband, Dan O'Connor, is a brother of Willey's wife or the woman who has been living with him as his wife and O'Connor had sworn to kill Willey unless he married the woman. In the presence of Evangelist R. A. Torrey and other distinguished gentlemen who are now guests at the Huntington Inn, young OC'onnor attacked Willey with a spade and declared his intention of killing the latter. Dr. Torrey and others succeeded in preventing a tragedy. Saturday's events were a result of this fight. SMELTZER SIFTINGS George W. Moore Takes Charge of Celery Association FULLERTON Notwithstanding that this is supposed to be a dull month, receipts at the depot here show a wonderful gain over the corresponding month last year. Forty-one carloads of oranges were shipped during July of last year, while 139 carloads were moved during the same month of this year. The total business at the depot for July was $56,827, which is a gain of $35,000 over the same month of 1908. For the first seven months of the year, ending July 31, 1005 carloads of fruit, grain, etc., were shipped from here. This does not include the 300,000 barrels of oil that are shipped and piped from Fullerton every month. Mr. McDermott has commenced a one-story brick building on his corner lot south of the Masonic building, to cost about $4000. This makes three new business buildings now in course of construction, giving a total frontage of 200 feet on Spadra street. The cost of the three buildings will be between $15,000 and $20,000. The storerooms in the new buildings have been rented. Tenus Hansen is not losing any sleep over alleged hard times. He has just baled 575 tons of barley hay and has refused an offer of $15 per ton for the entire output. Supervisor Linebarger has received another carload of oil to be used on the highways of this section. Clay C.

He reports everything moving along very nicely. ANAHEIM GAZETTE ROOSEVELT'S NEW ROLE One of the unexpected results which promises to follow ex-President Roosevelt's visit to British East Africa is that of turning the tide of British and possibly European emigration in future in that direction. The wonderful agricultural possibilities of that part of the Dark Continent and the immensity of the field for exploitation by the white race has not escaped his observation and without meaning to figure in the role he may be said to have become already the "advance agent" for its promotion among the landless millions of whites in the old world. No traveler who has ever explored the interior of Africa has had the same practical training regarding the relations of man to the soil as Roosevelt has had, for his earlier experiences in life gave him a thorough knowledge of farming and stock raising. He is, therefore, capable of describing the agricultural resources of Africa from a strictly practical standpoint and there is no doubt, from the remarks he dropped at a banquet recently given in his honor, at Nairobi, that he contemplates using the fruits of his observations for the benefit of his race, and he will doubtless command the earnest attention of a countless number of readers which will no doubt be followed by the migration of thousands of land-seeking emigrants from the congested British Isles with their faces turned toward the new land of promise which he has discovered for them. CONVERTING THE CHINESE It is a Losing Venture When Tried by Women In the matter of the American girl teacher, Elsie Sigel, who was murdered in front of the approaching work-train, which he evidently had not seen as it approached. The blow was concentrated on the right side of his head, and his skull was fractured. His body fell beside the track and was not mangled. He died almost instantly, though there were still signs of life as he was carried into the depot immediately after the accident. H. F. Skinner was 49 years of age, and for seven years he and his wife lived at 705 East Third street, Santa Ana, while Skinner was employed as a baggageman on the Santa Fe. He has a son who is a druggist in Los Angeles, and his parents live in Long Beach. MAY ENDANGER BIG TREES Michigan Syndicate Completes Purchase of Tract in Sequoia Forest San Francisco, Aug. — A Michigan syndicate has just completed the purchase of 30,000 acres of sugar pine in the Sequoia forest, adjoining the famous Calaveras big tree grove in Calavaras county. The purchase price was $900,000. It is said the syndicate, which is represented here by Charles F. Ruggle, will also buy several other large timber tracts in the Sierras. The syndicate will run a forty-mile narrow guage railroad to this forest tract. This tract was owned by the Big Tree Company, a California corporation, which also owns other tracts in the vicinity. It is said the Michigan syndicate has options on other tracts, which will bring its total holdings up to 100,000 acres. This tract, which will be logged off at once, adjoins the Calaveras grove, and it is a question whether the removal of the lumber will not endanger these famous Sequoias, which are the oldest trees on earth. ENCOUNTER WITH A BUCK Forest Ranger at Capistrano Hills Novel Experience Forest Ranger Stephenson of Capistrano made a record last Saturday by bagging two fine bucks, one spike and the other a three pointers. The scene of the kill was between Lucas and Verdugo canyons. As Stephenson was riding along in that vicinity he spied the deer within easy shooting distance and blazed away. He only had seven cartridges with him, and six of these he sent after the flying game before one dropper to the ground. Stephenson's dog wagged with him. It seized the fallen buck by the nose and held it until Stephen came up and cut the animal throat. It was the smaller deer that fell to Stephenson's shot, the other making good its way out of gunshot and later out of sight. Judge of Stephenson's surprise when just as he had given the fallen animal its course grace to see coming toward him on the back track the big three ponies. Allowing a little for buck fever Stephenson soon got his rifle in action, but the hammer fell on the large cartridge without exploding it and the hunter was left with an empty gun. Still the deer came blindly on, and Stephenson thinking it meant to charge him, drew his knife and rushed to meet it, seizing it by the horns it met him in full rush and stabbing it in the throat again and again until it fell to its knees and then rolled over dead. Examination showed that the deer had been struck twice by Stephenson's shots, one bullet breaking through leg and another lodging in body, the last inflicting a fatal wound but the buck had kept on and on its dying agony and had run in its dying agony and had run in its circle, thus returning to the plains. CONVERTING THE CHINESE It is a Losing Venture When Tried by Women In the matter of the American girl teacher, Elsie Sigel, who was murdered by her Chinese lover, no better sense has been spoken than is attributed by the papers to Miss Helen Clark of the Clark Mission in Worth street. For fifteen years, Miss Clark says, she has protested against white women attempting to Christianize Chinese, and she declares that there are more women missionaries degraded by Chinese men than there are Chinese converted. Miss Clark goes on to say: "It is the attraction of sex that predominates in both cases, not that of religion. Despite all that is in the papers, the public does not see the other side—the Chinese side. The pictures that I have seen are of young vain, frivolous white women deliberately flirting with and leading on the Chinese pupils. "But consider what a puzzle such a woman must be to the Chinese, of a race totally unaccustomed to any freedom for women. Is it strange that they misjudge behavior that even an American man would question? "As to what subtle attraction causes the downfall of the white woman missionary I do not know. The Chinaman is a mystic, but not romantic—not in the sense that would appeal to women. "The only light I can see is in what might be called the gallantry of the Chinese, their kindness and gentleness to women. "Does any one realize that more than half of the women of the underworld who come to Chinatown and make their homes there, are there because Chinese are more kind to them than white men? It is true. I have seen it; seen Chinese practically married to these women, the slaves of opium, treating them with patience and consideration. Maybe it is this gentleness which appeals. I know not what else." Practically all the Chinese in this country are living isolated from the women of their own race. They are about as dangerous associates for tract. This tract was owned by the Big Tree Company, a California corporation, which also owns other tracts in the vicinity. It is said the Michigan syndicate has options on other tracts, which will bring its total holdings up to 100,000 acres. This tract, which will be logged off at once, adjoins the Calaveras grove, and it is a question whether the removal of the lumber will not endanger these famous Sequoias, which are the oldest trees on earth. RESOLUTIONS OF CONDOLENCE Whereas, The Supreme Ruler of the Universe has called our sister, Mrs. Mills into the fuller life, and while we realize that our loss is but her gain, still we mourn the loss of her kindly presence among us. Therefore, be it resolved, that we extend our deepest sympathy to the bereaved husband and family who have lost a loving wife and faithful friend. That the lodge has lost an earnest, helpful member. Be it further resolved, that a copy of these resolutions be published in our papers, one sent to the husband and one engrossed upon the minutes of our lodge.

Recent Experiments Tend to Upgrade Old Theory that It Is Injurious Copious water drinking with meals has long been thought to be positively injurious, but recent experiments prove otherwise, the subject being a New York man, who was given a fixed diet for a period of six days as a preliminary. Then for five days the same, except one liter of water was taken with each meal, the food being carefully masticated before it was swallowed. Finally, for a period of eight days the original diet again. The physicians found nothing to support the general view that water drinking during meals was injurious. On the contrary, the study indicated that so large an amount of water ingested meals was a desirable feature of nutrition. The man was in an improved physical condition after the water period and weighed two pounds more. Fewer bacteria were generated in the system during the water period, and also during the third period, indicating that digestion had improved. In the good old days fever patients were not allowed to do more than moisten their parched lips while suffering all the tortures of the damn body and consumed by a raging thirst. Our patient, so the story runs, managed to secure a pitcher of ice water, and being unobserved, quickly gulped down, greatly to the horror of his attendants when his act was discovered. The physician was quickly summoned and sagely shook his head. The worst was feared and confidently predicted. Greatly to the surprise of all concerned the man recovered and since that time water has never been under the ban. One by one the old prejudices... make their homes there, are there because Chinese are more kind to them than white men? It is true. I have seen it; seen Chinese practically married to these women, the slaves of opium, treating them with patience and consideration. Maybe it is this gentleness which appeals. I know not what else." Practically all the Chinese in this country are living isolated from the women of their own race. They are about as dangerous associates for young girl missionaries, and the girl missionaries are about as dangerous company for them, as could be conceived. For American women who are interested in the Christianization of the Chinese the place to work is in China and among the Chinese women. There there is a vast deal to do, but among the Chinese men who live here, there is no work in which young women may safely engage. Of all the eastern countries, China in these days is the most attractive to missionaries of discernment and devotion. In the Chinese they see the best and strongest human material in the East, and the race that promises under Western influence and leading to develop the greatest efficiency and the highest character. BAGGAGEMAN KILLED Harry F. Skinner, baggageman, was struck by a Santa Fe engine at 7:10 Monday morning, at Santa Ana, and was killed. He had but turned from chatting and talking to the engineer of his train, when he stepped almost ter on Sunday. Mrs. Morris Smith and son Meyer went to Newport Beach Saturday for a few days' outing. Earl Clark was a visitor to Los Angeles on Thursday. Miss Marguerite Brown of Los Angeles was a guest several days the past week of her sister, Mrs. Mildred Smith. On Sunday Mr. and Mrs. Smith and Miss Brown spent the day at Balboa. DOES A WIDOW MAKE A GOOD WIFE? Recent statistics indicate that the popularity of the widow is waning; but should this be the case, she can most certainly afford to be generous for her reputed charm has almost become proverbial. There are many instances of the second marriage of widows, and it is noticeable that the husband in such cases frequently happens to be the younger of the two. This is not extraordinary, for women invariably remain young longer than men, and a woman who has encountered the exceedingly enlightening experience of married life knows exactly how to deal with a man. She is intuitive and can instantly diagnose his mood. If he appears worried and distrait, she is tactfully quiet and sympathetic. She does not force his confidence, because she realizes quite well that he will probably tell her everything later on. A young man is naturally susceptible, and he appreciates this seductive treatment. AMERICAN SAVIOR OF ANAHIE Our Mid-Summer Clearance Sale IS ON Always Good—none better.
