ROYAL BAKING POWDER Absolutely Pure Makes the finest, most delicious biscuit, cake and pastry; conveys to food the most healthful of fruit properties Absolutely Pure WESTMINSTER Westminster is going after electric-railway connection between Bay City and Garden Grove, and it looks as though Anaheim will have a chance to get the line continued north from Garden Grove. A committee consisting of F. F. Skelly, E. G. Stone and F. D. Turner, in conjunction with a committee from Garden Grove, composed of G. R. Reyburn and F. H. Cloyes, last week met with Attorney Reeds in his office in Los Angeles. The proposed road and plans for securing it were discussed. Later the committee met with Chief Engineer Pillshury and Mrs. A. A. Atkinson has returned from a visit of several months with relatives in Minnesota. She arrived Tuesday and was met in Los Angeles by her daughter, Mrs. McKeen, having made the long journey to that city alone in comfort, travelling by the Santa Fe limited. Though past eighty years of age, Mrs. Atkinson has thus completed in safety her 14th annual visit to the East. Her return is a pleasant event in the homes of her grandsons, Chas. and Roy McKeen, and is welcomed by many of her friends in Garden Grove.

G. Stone and F. D. Turner, in conjunction with a committee from Garden Grove, composed of G. R. Reyburn and F. H. Cloyes, last week met with Attorney Reeds in his office in Los Angeles. The proposed road and plans for securing it were discussed. Later the committee met with Chief Engineer Pilsbury, and from him received the gratifying encouragement that the Pacific Electric company would entertain a proposition for such a line provided I. W. Hellman would subdivide his big holdings. Mr. Hellman owns 7000 acres which adjoins what is known as the old Dave Rogers place on the west, and extends to Bay City, taking in Anaheim Landing. It was subsequently learned that Mr. Hellman would subdivide this tract in the near future. With the only condition made by the railroad people practically eliminated, the people of Westminster will redouble their efforts, and there will be no cessation until the road is an accomplished fact. The Westminster Association has a number of active men in its membership who recognize the many advantages of that place and who propose to see that the community is supplied with every convenience necessary to a thriving town. It is understood that there are other improvements of a more or less public character in contemplation, and energetic workers of that section are pretty apt to get what they want once they start. A large bunch of Modern Woodmen boosters from Westminster camp went to Los Angeles Wednesday evening to attend initiation ceremonies at Golden State camp. The boys report having had the time of their lives. A letter from E. D. Barton, written at Chicago, has been received here, stating that he expected to leave that city Oct. 16, for home, coming by way of Portland, Oregon, where he will stop for a short visit. Ira L. Haas of Riverside, was here a couple of days recently on business. Mrs. Herbert Phelps of San Dimas and children are guests at the home of E. C. Phelps. Frank Smith has returned to his home at Marristown, Tenn., having started from here Saturday. Mrs. W. W. Wells of Long Beach Tuesday and was met in Los Angeles by her daughter, Mrs. McKeen, having made the long journey to that city alone in comfort, traveling by the Santa Fe limited. Though past eighty years of age, Mrs. Atkinson has thus completed in safety her 14th annual visit to the East. Her return is a pleasant event in the homes of her grandsons, Chas. and Roy McKeen, and is welcomed by many of her friends in Garden Grove. John Mitchell and Will Harris, who have just returned from San Francisco, report having had the time of their lives at the great Portola festival which was in progress during their visit to the city. Harris says the fun he enjoyed was enough to repay him for all the agony of his experience while on the boat going up. All that Mitchell will admit is that Ketchel is a game fighter but the colored champion's wallop was too much for him. Mr. and Mrs. Thomas Lyons, former residents of Garden Grove, were Monday for a visit at the home of N. B. Underwood. Mr. Lyons is engaged in business at Carpinteria, having traded property here for a stock of merchandise at that place. J. Fulsom is the contractor for the new residence for L. Davis, which is being built on the corner opposite of Mrs. Rogers' home, just completed. Work on the Davis residence is well under way, the carpenters having begun operations the first of this week. Mrs. Elizabeth Rogers moved this week into her handsome new home on Acacia street. G. Powell arrived this week from Missouri to remain in Garden Grove during the winter. He is a brother to Mrs. E. Rogers, and has a number of friends here who made his acquaintance during a former visit. T. D. Trueworthy of Los Angeles is in charge of the drugstore during the absence of Mr. and Mrs. McElree, who started Monday for a ten-day trip to San Francisco and other northern points. Mr. and Mrs. N. B. Underwood enjoyed a visit Sunday from Mr. and Mrs. Alfred Blizzard of Santa Ana. F. H. Cloyes and family, who went to Laguna Saturday, remained for several days outing, arriving home on Wednesday. Other members of the party returned Monday morning, including the Reyburn, Jencks and Kenah families.

Bean threshing has been in progress in this vicinity the past week, the Patterson threshing outfit being busy at the Johnson and Maes ranches and other places. Mrs. J. Smith has returned to her home at Long Beach after a visit of several days with Mrs. J. McCoy and family. Congratulations are extended by her many friends here to Mrs. Nellie Baker Goudron of Los Angeles upon the arrival of an infant daughter at her home in the city Monday. Chicken thieves got away with several dozen fowl from Mr. Rutter's place a few nights ago—a foul piece of business, certainly. Wallace Rutan of Santa Ana was a business visitor to this vicinity on Wednesday. Mrs. Harold Martin is spending a few days with her sister, Mrs. Stewart, at Smeltzer. Roy and Ben Mull have returned from Los Angeles after a visit of several days with their mother in that city. Mr. and Mrs. N. B.

The affair will be under direction of the department of Scientific Temperance Instruction. Parents and all interested are cordially invited to attend. Mrs. Bodenhamer has as guests her father and two sisters who have recently arrived from the east and expect to remain during the winter. SANTA ANA Judge West rendered judgment in the quiet title action of Theo. and Geo. W. Ford against John C. Keefe, judgment being for the plaintiff. The property in question lies in Santa Ana river in West Orange. The case rested on the validity of a tax sale deed given by the state to R. Y. Williams, who sold to Keefe. A. W. Rutan represented the plaintiff and Victor Montgomery the defendant. Judge Victor Montgomery and his son, Tarver Montgomery, have started on a trip to various points in Missouri, Mississippi and Texas. They will go first to Kansas City, Mo., to look up a land proposition, then to Vicksburg, then to Greenwood, Washington county, Miss., and other points in that state. On the return trip they will stop at Brownwood, Tex., to visit relatives of Mrs. Montgomery. While away they will look up some ANAHEIM GAZETTE clews in regard to the murder of Miss Gertrude Montgomery in New Mexico a short time ago. Miss Montgomery, a second cousin of Judge Montgomery, was murdered and robbed of her jewelry. Her body was found two days later. Judge Montgomery has some information in his possession that may lead to developments. George W. Grenfell of Ridgway, Wis., has commenced a contest of the will of his grandfather, John Lane, who died at Santa Ana on January 25. His petition to set aside the decree of distribution, entered in the matter on August 20th, was filed some days ago. John Lane was a member of the Santa Ana furniture house of Lane & Lane. By his will his property was to be divided equally between his wife and his son. After the will was written, Lane and his wife separated, with a division of property. Hence, Martin Lane was considered sole legatee under the will and the estate, appraised at $4650, was distributed to him. Grenfell, a farm hand, who asserts that he, as the grandson of John Lane, should have received half the $4650. A copy of correspondence, shown in the petition, says that, owing to his ignorance, he did not assert his claims here before the estate was closed. There will be no contest of the annual election of the Santa Ana Valley Irrigation company. This announcement was made by the executive committee of the defeated party. The old board party secured the election of five directors, while the two candidates of the opposition failed. One of them, J. C. Travis, lost by reason of the failure of Dr. Chas. Mueller to turn in his proxies for 2000 votes. The opposition asserted that it should have had the count on a large block of stock in the aggregate. The Toggery 111 W. Center St., Anaheim.

Trees are grown full of shoots that should have been pruned off. Grass growing all around the roots of trees; no care; no water; no pruning; no spraying. How in the name of common sense could anyone expect to grow apples or anything else, if no care is given? To prove that apples can be grown to perfection around Anaheim, and are grown as well, one has only to take a trip out west of Anaheim and see the apples grown on the ranch of J. O. Reid. I have in my time packed and shipped thousands of barrels of apples for the English markets, but I never saw in all my experience such Bellefleuer apples as Mr. Reid sent us to take to the Santa Ana carnival of products and which properly pruned and worked around, just the same as oranges, and I venture to say that an apple orchard will give as good returns as oranges, if given the same care. At a dollar a box they are a paying crop, so says Mr. Reid. And the market is unlimited. Besides this the apple crop can be stored up for better prices, and not like the oranges, that have to be sent to market just at a certain time. Another thing in favor of the apple in this part of the country is the quick growth of the young trees, coming into bearing when three and four years old. Mr. Reid had trees this year, planted five years ago, that produced from two to three boxes of apples. Will the orange beat this? T. S. A. TRANSFERS OF REALTY The J. Clark forty-acre improved place, three miles west of town, has been sold to a newcomer for a stated price of $12,000. The property will be set to oranges. Mrs. Long has sold her twenty-acre improved alfalfa ranch near Harper station to Mrs. Phillips of Altadena. The price was $7500. Ed Long has sold his seventeen-acre improved place, three miles west of town, to Mrs. Phillips and son, for $5500. The ranch is in alfalfa. The Force twenty-acre place, four miles west of town, has been sold to M. P. Anderson of Los Angeles for a stated consideration of $6000. The new owner will set the property to oranges. John Resh has purchased five lots and a residence from R. Fletcher,east of the Santa Fe depot, for $2500. The H. Pope ten-acre alfalfa ranch near Buena Park has been purchased. HOGS IN VINEYARDS Growers Refuse $5 per Ton and Grapes to Swine Sacramento, Oct. 16.—When California Wine Association reeled the price of grapes from the grape to $5 a ton many growers refuse sell, preferring to let the crop run the vines. Some made threats feeding them to the hogs. But growers do not usually have hogs. O. M. Sharp, a prominent rancher of Woodland, thought so well on idea, however, that he bought off swine and turned them in and the vines. Now he has sold some hogs, and figured up the count. It shows that his grapes worth $10 a ton to him, without curring the expense of picking hauling. By pursuing this course, Sharp only realized twice as much as grower who sold to the wine association, but he demonstrated that growers can be independent,and not submit to the dictation of trust, and that when the necessities it is an easy matter to rehear the congestion of the wine market.

To prove that apples can be grown to perfection around Anaheim, and are grown as well, one has only to take a trip out west of Anaheim and see the apples grown on the ranch of J. O. Reid. I have in my time packed and shipped thousands of barrels of apples for the English markets, but I never saw in all my experience such Bellefleuer apples as Mr. Reid sent us to take to the Santa Ana carnival of products, and which are now on exhibition in the chamber of commerce in Los Angeles. Naturally, I wanted to find out how he grew such fine apples, and on making a visit to his ranch he demonstrated to my entire satisfaction that apples are a paying crop at Anaheim. The secret is this: just the same as oranges, walnuts, or any other crop—No work, no pay. Trees must get care and be properly trimmed, sprayed, etc. Mr. Reid informed us that last year his apples were just like other people's. The Codling moth had full possession, but the present season he put into practice his experience in the Hood River valley with apples, and his labors have been well repaid. The spray used by him this season was arsenate of lead, and just two applications did the work. The first spraying a few days before the blossom drops off and the next when the apples are about the size of walnuts. The proportion of the lead is from 2 to 3 pounds to 50 gallons of water, and applied with a fine spray. Trees also must be kept pro- of town, to Mrs. Phillips and son, for $5500. The ranch is in alfalfa. The Force twenty-acre place, four miles west of town, has been sold to M. P. Anderson of Los Angeles for a stated consideration of $6000. The new owner will set the property to oranges. John Resh has purchased five lots and a residence from R. Fletcher,east of the Santa Fe depot, for $2500. The H. Pope ten-acre alfalfa ranch near Buena Park has been purchased by T. H. Sittle of Los Angeles for $6000. The Kingdom six-acre walnut and orange grove on East Center street has been sold to Mr. Elliott, recently from South Dakota, for $6500. The forty-acre improved place two miles west of town, owned by H. P. Jones, has been sold to H. H. Hawley of Michigan, for a reported price of $14,000. There was an old fellow named Jake Had a jag which resembled a quake. They tied a can to his tail And sent him to jail; Like the cat he came back—heaven's sake.
