GARDEN GROVE At a business session of Garden Grove W.C.T.U. held in the League room of the M.E. church Wednesday afternoon, plans were outlined for the celebration next week of the twenty-fifth anniversary of its organization. Preparation was also made for a series of Demorest medal elocutionary contests to be given in the near future, in which it is believed the public will be interested, and concerning which further announcement will be made in due time. The silver anniversary of this local Union, which occurs Sept. 29, will be observed with appropriate exercises at the M.E. church Wednesday afternoon at 2:30 p.m. The public is cordially invited to attend. Following is the program: Song, devotions led by Mrs. Milo Allen; silver anniversary history, Mrs. M. F. Hill; graphaphone music; reading, Mrs. Harper; address, Mothers' Meeting, Mrs. Anna P. Hill of Santa Ana; Orange County, song. Explosion of a gasoline stove started a fire Monday morning at the home of John Ryan, which threatened destruction of the building and its contents. With prompt assistance from the neighbors the flames were quickly extinguished. The building, which is the property of George Anderson, was slightly damaged, the injury to valuable furniture being more serious. No insurance was carried on either building or contents. Fifteen members of the Y.M.C.A. went from Garden Grove to Los Alamitos Sunday afternoon to conduct a religious service in the sugar factory town. Rev. P. M. German, conductor of Bible study for the Y.M.C.A., had charge of the meeting, which was held in the open air. There was a good sized audience, and considerable for property in Pasadena, and we understand he expects to remove to that city. Mr. Melick's many friends here will regret to lose so good a citizen from the community. T. E. Niles and wife, with his brother, who is here from Kansas for a visit, went to San Dimas Wednesday to spend a week with relatives there. Sam Brentlinger, who is the treasurer of the county association of Modern Woodmen, went to Huntington Beach Tuesday night for a meeting of the executive committee of the association, at which accounts in connection with the recent picnic at Garden Grove were settled up. Hon. Webster Davis has been engaged to deliver his lecture on "A visit to the Boers," in Garden Grove on the evening of Oct. 6, under auspices of the Y.M.C.A. The usual cost of admission to this lecture is fifty cents, but under a special arrangement the price here will be twenty-five cents. Mr. Davis is an orator of considerable renown and his lecture will no doubt be well worth hearing. He is at present a resident of Los Angeles, but was formerly mayor of Kansas City and later assistant secretary of the interior under the McKinley administration. He visited the land of the Boers during their war with Great Britain, and his story of their plucky fight for liberty against overwhelming odds is full of interest. PLAN TO GROW PEPPERMINT ProJuction of Oil at Garden Grove—Other Items Beginning in a small way, with no blast of trumpets or undue noise, an industry has been started in Garden Grove which promises to develop into a large business and a source of Fifteen members of the Y.M.C.A. went from Garden Grove to Los Alamitos Sunday afternoon to conduct a religious service in the sugar factory town. Rev. P. M. German, conductor of Bible study for the Y.M.C.A., had charge of the meeting, which was held in the open air. There was a good sized audience, and considerable interest was manifested, the visitors being urged to come again. Work is progressing nicely on the new residence for "Grandma" Rogers at Acacia and Pine streets. Dr. H. A. Fulsom and wife were here Sunday from Los Angeles to visit at the home of his father, Jerome Fulsom. Mr. and Mrs. William Stevenson, who have been here from Ohlo for a visit with the family of J. W. King, south of Garden Grove, returned this week to their home in the Buckeye state. Mrs. W. L. Jencks went to Riverside Saturday for a visit of two weeks with her mother and sister who reside there. Three carloads of building material received within a week indicate that business is all right with Garden Grove Lumber Company. Rev. F. D. Ashleigh and wife are at San Diego in attendance upon the annual conference of the M.E. church which began its session Thursday. They started Tuesday morning in order to have time for a brief visit with their son at Escondido, prior to the opening of the conference session. No doubt is entertained here of Mr. Ashleigh's return to this pastorate, unanimous desire for which on the part of his congregation has been expressed to the district superintendent. W. L. Allen and Charles Holt represent the church as lay delegates to the conference. F. J. Bontain has purchased material from Garden Grove lumber company for a new residence to be built on his property northwest of town. Herbert Hudson, residing 1 1/2 miles southeast, is hauling lumber from Garden Grove for an addition to his residence and other improvements about his place. Mr. and Mrs. E. Beardsley have returned from a two days' visit with relatives in Los Angeles, during which an excursion over the balloon route was enjoyed. PLAN TO GROW PEPPERMINT Pro-Juction of Oil at Garden Grove—Other Items Beginning in a small way, with no blast of trumpets or undue noise, an industry has been started in Garden Grove which promises to develop into a large business and a source of considerable profit to its promoters. This is the production of oil of peppermint, which is being distilled at the eucalyptus oil refinery of John Mitchell. A trial crop of three acres this year has proven the adaptability of local soil and conditions to the culture of the plant. The growth and culture of this plant, in localities where its requirements as to soil and climate can be met, is similar to that of alfalfa in most particulars. Closer attention is necessary, however, to keep it free from weeds which are apt to affect the quality and flavor of the oil and spoil it for the market. This, of course, requires constant attention and a great deal of work by hand. But the territory in which conditions necessary for its production can be met successfully is said to be quite limited, and the fact that the oil produced here has been disposed of without difficulty at the rate of three dollars per pound indicates that there is not much danger of glutting the market. The three-acre tract referred to, which is located about one mile south of the Grove and is cultivated by a couple of Japanese, has produced four crops during the year since the plants were started, and are expected to do better in succeeding years, as long as kept free from weeds and given proper attention. Forty acres will be planted for the coming year, besides several small tracts by other growers. Mr. Mitchell expects to devote a few acres on his own place to the cultivation of this plant, and is convinced that the oil will pay a better profit than does the production of eucalyptus oil in which he has been engaged for several years. From a distillation just made at Mr. Mitchell's plant, the product of the crop gathered from three acres was seventy-five pounds of oil. The proportion of oil produced here is said to be above the average, 1½ percent of oil being obtained, while an average of 1 per cent is considered ial from Garden Grove lumber company for a new residence to be built on his property northwest of town. Herbert Hudson, residing 1 1-2 miles southeast, is hauling lumber from Garden Grove for an addition to his residence and other improvements about his place. Mr. and Mrs. E. Beardsley have returned from a two days' visit with relatives in Los Angeles, during which an excursion over the balloon route was enjoyed. Ray Beardsley was a visitor to Los Angeles on business last week. Mrs. Bessie Heron expects to remove to Pomona in the near future. A. G. Niles of Wellington, Kansas, one of the four boys of the family who were all bearing arms in their country's service before twenty years of age, has come to California for a visit with his brother, T. E. Niles of Garden Grove. He is accompanied by his son Alvin, and both are delighted with California. T. A. Richardson, who recently disposed of his property here with the intention of moving away, has reconsidered that idea and concluded that Garden Grove will do for him all right. He closed a deal this week for the ten-acre ranch of Byron Yates, northwest of town, the consideration being $4000. Mr. Yates, with his family, will return to their former home at Louisville, Kentucky. There is a new girl in the home of Mr. and Mrs. Sterling Price near Bolsa, born Thursday night of last week. Mrs. S. D. Brentlinger and little daughter have been at Chino the past week for a visit with relatives. Mrs. Frank Anderson has been seriously sick for several days, with Dr. Violett in attendance. Mrs. Garfield Allen is recovering from a slight attack of sickness. C. M. Melick has made an exchange of his ranch home near Garden Grove cultivation of this plant, and is convinced that the oil will pay a better profit than does the production of eucalyptus oil in which he has been engaged for several years. From a distillation just made at Mr. Mitchell's plant, the product of the crop gathered from three acres was seventy-five pounds of oil. The proportion of oil produced here is said to be above the average, 1½ per cent of oil being obtained, while an average of 1 per cent is considered good at plants in the East where the oil is produced. Wholesale drug-gists in Los Angeles have purchased the local output and offer a ready market for all the oil produced. HANSEN STATION A number of relatives and friends gathered at the country home of Mr. and Mrs. S. H. Ogdon, near Hansen Station, Sunday, Sept. 19, to celebrate their fifth wedding anniversary. The following guests were present: Mr. and Mrs.John M. Jackson, Master Curtis Jackson, Los Angeles; Mr. and Mrs. C. E. Eagler, Misses Vesta and Eula May Eagler, Sawtelle; Mr. and Mrs. Henry Hansen, Anaheim; Mrs. Ella M. Hull, Miss Bertha Hull, Decatur, Ill.; Frank Eagler, Danville, Ill.; Mrs. P. J. Ogdon, W. C.

A large number of useful and beautiful presents were received from the guests and absent friends. At a late hour the assemblage dispersed for their homes, all wishing Mr. and Mrs. S. H. Ogdon the enjoyment of many more anniversaries. For Sale: Horse, buggy and harness all in first-class shape. Apply to Dr. Freeman, Broadway and Melrose Sts. 2t ANAHEIM GAZETTE SANTA ANA Threshers are busy in the immense bean fields of this county. An estimate made of the yield of the crop is 250,000 sacks of limas, and nearly 50,000 of blackeyes. Nearly all the black eyes have been bought at $3.50 per 100 pounds. As yet the buyers are not taking limas for the reason that the Lima Bean Association composed almost wholly of Ventura growers, has not made a price. Of the 130 growers in this county, about sixteen belong to the association. Of the 250,000 sacks of limas now piled in the fields about 200,000 sacks are on the San Joaquin ranch, owned by the Irvine Company. The present streak of hot weather has not injured the threshing operations. Rather, it has made it easier for the chaff and bean to be separated. The weather, however, has counted against Orange county growers for the reason that it has hastened the Ventura beans to maturity. Ordinarily, Orange county gets its beans on the market two or three weeks earlier than other localities, and thus gets the benefit of the opening prices, which are often the best of the season. Supervisor G. W. Angle, who buys beans for a San Francisco firm, said that the Bean Growers' Association had expected to fix prices on the 15th. There is much interest in the annual election of directors of the Santa Ana Valley Irrigation Company to be held October 5. This company is a co-operative concern, stock running with the land, irrigating 17,000 acres, and it is a very hard matter to get a quorum. On that account there has been no election for three years, and but one member of the present season will be made from here in about two weeks. The Orange county nursery company shipped two cars of stock this week. John Hetebrink reports that fully 25 per cent of the tomato crop was destroyed by the recent hot spell. NEWPORT BEACH Newport Beach proposes to vote $40,000 of bonds for waterworks and will hold an election soon for that purpose. The plant and system of the Newport Water company will be taken over if this can be accomplished and this is also the proposed plan with the Home gas and electric company. John Prothers, aged 71 years, a well known resident of El Toro, died Sunday and was buried Monday at that place, where he has lived eight years. He was a California pioneer, having resided in the state 55 years. CORONA TAKES GAME Wins Deciding Contest from Local Ballotssers The Anaheim baseball team journeyed to Corona Sunday and were taken into camp to the tune of 5 to 1. This was the deciding game, as each team had won a game previously. Bunched hits in first and eighth innings gave Corona their five runs. Valencia's long home-run drive in the fourth inning was the only run scored by Anaheim. Buell of Corona pitched a good game, allowing the locals only four hits. For his first game Spencer did good work. With a little coaching and practice he should develop into a first-class pitcher. Watch him man and Geo. H. Randall, has endowed to see as many people as possible, time has been so short that a number of merchants who might wish to offer prizes may have been missed.

Our harbors need improvement; our coast defenses are utterly inadequate we should have a far greater number of war vessels patrolling the Pacific and in numerous other ways we are not receiving our fair and just proportion of the expenditures of the general government. I believe that this is due more largely to the small number of our representatives in the upper house of congress than to any other one cause. Even our neighbors on the north admit the force of this argument. FLORAL PARADE. Rules For Guidance of Those Wishing to Compete. The committee having in charge the arrangements for the floral parade on Saturday, the last day of the Orange County Parade of Products, which is Saturday, October expects a large number of entries as more than usual interest is being manifested in this feature. Rules for participants and judges have been put in print. The rules are as follows: There is much interest in the annual election of directors of the Santa Ana Valley Irrigation Company to be held October 5. This company is a co-operative concern, stock running with the land, irrigating 17,000 acres, and it is a very hard matter to get a quorum. On that account there has been no election for three years, and but one member of the present board was elected, the others having been appointed to fill vacancies. But an effort is to be made to get out a quorum this year. An organization of those opposed to the present directors has been formed, and a ticket has been named. The opposition has as its platform the revision of the bylaws and the election of directors who will develop water. The opposition is not going to have smooth sailing by any means. A caucus of stock holders of the El Modena district has been held independent of the opposition. Word has been received of death of Mrs. George I. Tedford in Los Angeles. Some time ago Mrs. Tedford strained her side cranking an automobile. As the result of that strain on Sunday a blood vessel broke. This rupture caused her death. Mrs. Tedford was a sister-in-law of Edgar Tedford, and W. B. Tedford, both of this city. The Newbert Protection district and the Talbert drainage dist. have petitioned the Supervisors to provide for the needs of each of these organizations in the way of levying taxes on the districts to furnish the fines of war to carry on business. Newbert Protection district wants the supervisors to tax the district to raise one thousand dollars for expenses for the year, and the Talbert district wants one thousand dollars for the annual bond issue and interest, ten thousand dollars for repairs on the system and one thousand dollars additional for incidental expenses.Last year a part of the Talbert drainage district was not taxed and now the supervisors are asked to put a special tax of $1550.27 on this part, which will leave the whole tax $10,422.77. FULLERTON There are enrolled in the high school 135 pupils, and it is believed this will be increased to 150 in two had expected to fix prices on the 15th. The committee having in charge the arrangements for the floral parade on Saturday, the last day of the Orange County Parade of Products, which is Saturday, October 9 expects a large number of entries as more than usual interest is being manifested in this feature. Rules for participants and judges have been put in print. The rules are as follows: 1. Cards showing the class and number of the exhibit must be spicuously displayed during the parade. The cards may be obtained from the secretary. No exhibit will be judged without these cards. 2. Participants must take and keep the place assigned to them in the formation of the parade and during the parade. 3. No device which displays an advertisement of any trade, mercantile pursuit or business occupation will be permitted in the parade. 4. No turnout not decorated with flowers or greens will be allowed in the parade. 5. A float shall be deemed a vehicle in which the frame or platform shall not be less than 6x10, with cloth or other decorations along the sides and ends thereof complete concealing the wheels of the vehicle. No float shall exceed 15 feet in height measured from the ground.

Following are the rules for judging: 1. The judges will consider artistic arrangement and harmonious blending of the natural flowers forms grasses similar etc together... FULLERTON There are enrolled in the high-school 135 pupils, and it is believed this will be increased to 150 in two weeks. Last year the school opened with 119. There are 260 pupils in the grammar schools. This is only a slight increase over last year on account of the walnut crop coming in earlier than usual, keeping a number of children at home during the picking season. Stern & Goodman have purchased over 20,000 sacks of beans in northern Orange county. The state supreme court has denied a rehearing in the case of Proud et al vs. Strain, the plaintiffs having won a suit for about $2000, alleged to be due on cabbage shipments. The judgment is for $1960, costs about $600, and interest $290. For the week ended Monday night oranges were shipped from Fullerton in carload lots thus: Thos Strain Jr. 6; Chapman 6; Placentia association 8; Dalrymple 6; Benchley 6; Citrus union 4. The Pacific vegetable union of Los Angeles has rented a packing-house here, and will make regular shipments. Charles Bert is manager. The first walnut shipments for the poultry exhibit in connection with the Carnival of Products, and all indications point to the largest turnout of birds the county has ever seen. The show will be held in the big exhibit enclosure, and the birds will be shown in pens of four females and one male, displays of ten females and a male, and grand displays of twenty-five birds, not less than three to be males. Ribbons will be awarded for first, second and third points, in each variety, and a silver cup is to be offered for the best pen in each class. The Orange County Poultry Association is giving a fine silver cup for the best exhibit of any one variety. Shown by a member of the association. This cup is to be won three times before becoming the property of the winner, and is to be competed for at each successive carnival until so won. Poultry lovers will be glad to know that there is a fine string of special prizes offered by our local merchants, for special exhibits of various varieties, and these will call out an astonishing display of birds. Rules of exhibit bar any bird not owned in Orange county for at least thirty days previous to the show, as it is desired to make the exhibit in keeping with the spirit of the whole carnival, which is for the purpose of giving our visitors an idea of what the biggest little county on earth produces. While a large list of the special prizes have been offered, and the committee, consisting of S. J.
