BONDS LOOK LIKE DEAD UNS
ASSOCIATED CHAMBERS OF COMMERCE MEET LAST NIGHT
Entertained by Local Men at an Elaborate Feed—No Petitions to Supervisors Until They Come Off the Perch — Supervisors Asked To Submit Proposition to Reformers
The monthly meeting of the associated chambers of commerce at Odd Fellows' banquet hall last night proved to be an elaborate feed, and the function was attended by one hundred leading road-bond boosters of the county. The sentiment pervaded the banqueting room that there would be no bond election as the result of efforts on the part of the associated chambers to pull one off. The sword of Damocles seemed to tilt directly above the head of Dr. Dobson, who is the Pooh Bah of the good-roads bonding movement. Some people say Dobson made a "break" in his recent interview with the supervisors, which puts the bonds in bad. He was sent to appear before the board in a diplomatic capacity. He seemed to have been short-circulted before the supervisors. He wanted the board to let the associated chambers of commerce name the highway commission—rather an un-
THIS CASE IS SURELY MIXED
Takes a Philadelphia Lawyer to Teil How Litigants Stand
An answer was filed the first of the week in the action of G. N. Allinson against H. L. Parks, the complaint in which seeks judgment against Parks on a note for $550 given in part payment on a pmping plant.
Parks comes back at the plaintiff not only with a denial of the justice of the note but also with a demand for $1380 damages. Judge West will try to take a fall out of it.
Parks states that Allinson contracted to erect a pumping plant for him capable of throwing a continuous stream of seventy-five inches, that the plant was put in but proved defective. The note in part payment, he says, was given before the defects were disclosed. Parks asks the superior court to order the note made void. Further he asks for damages against Allinson on the following counts:
First—Parks was unable to farm nine acres of land for the reason that the pumping plant did not furnish the necessary water. Parks says this damaged him $20 per acre, total $180.
Second—On ten acres he attempted to irrigate he raised only half a crop because he lacked the water, damage $500.
Third—Similar damage, $500.
Dobson, who is the Pooh Bah of the good-roads bonding movement. Some people say Dobson made a "break" in his recent interview with the supervisors, which puts the bonds in bad. He was sent to appear before the board in a diplomatic capacity. He seemed to have been short-circuited before the supervisors. He wanted the board to let the associated chambers of commerce name the highway commission—rather an unheard of procedure—and instead of smoothing matters over, made them worse. He told the members of the board they were held in such disesteem by the people at large that if a bond election were called with a highway commission composed of their political hirelings, the bonds would be everlastingly snowed under. This is probably true, but Dobson ought not to have said it—at least, in not so insinuating a manner. According to reports emanating from the supervisors' meeting, Boss MacMullan sat upon Dobson, and if current reports be true, is ready to repeat the operation. Dobson claims the supervisors put him "in a hole." all on account of petty political trickery, and he had a report to make at last night's meeting which would put him and his committee in better light. We had hoped to get a copy of this great state paper before we went to press last evening, but despite the fact that all sorts of underground wires were laid for it, the mine refused to go off.
The report gives Dobson's version of his memorable meeting with the supervisor board, claims that he was misquoted, and finally ends with a suggestion to the supervisors that the board make the associated chambers of commerce a "proposition" as to the appointment of a highway commission.
This seems like child's play, and it will be interesting to note what Boss MacMullan will do with it when it reaches his board in solemn conclave assembled. MacMullan is said to have been as mad as a hornet at what the papers have recently been saying about him, and he will probably be mad clear through when this latest proposition is submitted to him.
The meeting decided unanimously not to submit the good-road petitions to the supervisors until the board would inform the associated chambers of commerce who the highway commissioners will be.
First—Parks was unable to farm nine acres of land for the reason that the pumping plant did not furnish the necessary water. Parks says this damaged him $20 per acre, total $180.
Second—On ten acres he attempted to irrigate he raised only half a crop because he lacked the water, damage $500.
Third—Similar damage, $500.
Fourth—Had the plant turned out the stream expected Parks could have sold $200 worth of water to neighbors.
The total on these four counts is $1380, and Parks asks the court to order Allinson to pay him that sum. Allinson lives here and Parks at Garden Grove.
ANAHEIM VEGETABLES
Chamber of Commerce Wants Them Shipped from This Point
The chamber of commerce met on Monday evening; members present, Mills, Weisel, Angell, Miller and Wickett.
In the absence of Secretary Ross, Wickett acted as secretary.
Mills reported as follows upon the establishment of packing houses:
"There are now many vegetables grown at Anaheim being hauled to Fullerton and packed there and shipped as Fullerton products. The packing companies say that the Anaheim product is just as good as any, and one firm says that the Anaheim tomatoes are the best they get. They further say that they will establish and maintain vegetable packing houses at Anaheim if they can be assured of a steady supply of tomatoes and cabbage.
Therefore, Be it
Resolved, By the Anaheim chamber of commerce that we will give our aid to any packing house that will open and maintain packing houses in this city.
Resolved, That we desire to call the attention of growers to the fact that packing concerns will make contracts for tomatoes and cabbage and other vegetables, and that we suggest that all who desire to make contracts, do so with a clause in the contract, that the vegetables be packed in, and shipped from, Anaheim.
The resolution was adopted, and after transacting routine business against Allinson on the following counts:
First—Parks was unable to farm nine acres of land for the reason that the pumping plant did not furnish the necessary water. Parks says this damaged him $20 per acre, total $180.
Second—On ten acres he attempted to irrigate he raised only half a crop because he lacked the water, damage $500.
Third—Similar damage, $500.
Fourth—Had the plant turned out the stream expected Parks could have sold $200 worth of water to neighbors.
The total on these four counts is $1380, and Parks asks the court to order Allinson to pay him that sum. Allinson lives here and Parks at Garden Grove."

The meeting decided unanimously not to submit the good-road petitions to the supervisors until the board would inform the associated chambers of commerce who the highway commissioners will be.
The opinion was expressed freely that the supervisors would make no "proposition" for the appointment of highway commissioners, and that at the next meeting of the associated chambers the bonding proposition will probably be dropped like a hot potato.

VETERANS' ASSOCIATION
Annual Meeting Elects Officers For Ensuing Year
The meeting of the Orange county veterans' association at Fullerton on Wednesday last was one of the most successful ever held in the history of the association. Two hundred and fifty veterans and their wives, ladies of the W.R.C., and allied organizations participated.
A dinner was served in the banquet room of the Masonic hall at noon, and a "campfire" engaged the attention of the veterans in the afternoon.
The five and drum corps of Norwall were present as invited guests and furnished martial music.
Ladies of the W.R.C. had charge of the dinner, the committee being Mmes. Charles Wagner, Avis Knowlton, J. H. Clever and William Freeman. The association elected as officers: Rev. A. B. Markel, Anaheim, president; E. E. Clough, Huntington Beach, vice president; A. B. Paul, Santa Ana, secretary; F. S. Haughawout, Santa Ana, chaplain; S. W. Smith, Santa Ana, treasurer. It was decided to hold the next annual meeting at Anaheim.

THE ALLEGATOR GOT AWAY
BUT MR. ROYER CAUGHT IT AND PLACED IT IN A BAG
An Exciting Episode on East Center Street on Thursday Afternoon — Water Board Transacts Business in Special Session—Ebell in India
J. O. Royer, the West End millionaire, has a pet allegator in his aquarium and the reptile attracts no little attention to the handsome home and grounds of the owner. The 'gator is six feet long, and is said to be a top-notcher in his class.
Mr. Royer brought it down from Los Angeles by express last Thursday. At the Santa Fe depot he placed it aboard a light spring wagon, and in company of a driver started home on a brisk trot over the paved street.
Near Kroeger street the reptile in some manner escaped from the box which contained it and leaped out of the back of the vehicle. It started over toward the gas works.
Mr. Royer was out of the wagon almost as quickly as the 'gator and went after it.
The reptile snapped at him viciously, its long jaws revealing rows of saw-like teeth.
He grabbed it by the tail and raised it into the air freeing its body

POP CAHILL PASSED UP BY TALL GRASS UNS
Irate Subscribers Threaten Him Because He Never Put Any News In the Paper—Saw Silkwood Bankruptcy County, and Never Made a Note Of It — Buried Many Papers—Meet Ressurrectionist
E. F. Cahill, familiarly known as Pop, who writes a department in the San Francisco Call headed "Our Can did Friend," an extract from which we republished in our issue of last week, is probably the formost discursive writer on the coast, but his nose for news—well that's a different story. A former well-known Frisco newspaper man said of him he wouldn't recognize a sensation stalking down Van Ness avenue. And we doubt if he could. He wouldn't see him. He'd be thinking of that half-page broadside editorial he was about to prepare on the threatened war between Germany and England.
Cahill ran a weekly here in Anaheim in the 70's, called the Review. It was as ably edited as the Quarterly Review. News it hadn't any. An irate populace made him leave town suddenly. Ably written editorials on the effects of the Russo-Turkish war

MEETS IN SPECIAL SESSION
Water Board Transacts Important Business on Saturday Afternoon
Anaheim, Cal., Oct. 23, '09.
An adjourned regular meeting of the board of directors of the Anaheim Union Water Co. was held at 2 p.m., with Directors Drake, Hale, Porter and Sherwood present, and Directors Crowther, Bradford and McLauchlin absent.
On motion of Director Hale, G. W. Sherwood was elected chairman pro tem.
Moved by Director Hale, seconded by Director Drake, that the plans for the Orangethorpe ditch and pipeline be and the same are hereby approved, with the understanding that the western end be made of 20 inch pipe instead of 18 inch and that the gates constructed on the said line shall be of the Sherwood model. Carried.
On motion duly made, seconded and carried the secretary was instructed to notify the absent directors and the engineer that the board will meet as a committee of the whole in Placentia to settle the matter of the Lempke ditch, next Wednesday, at 10 a.m.
On motion the bill of the Griffith Lumber Co. for lumber used in the new pit at plant No. 1 was ordered paid.
A petition from O. H. Schumacher et al. asked that about three-quarters of a mile of pipe line be constructed along the south line of lat
ness, and have heard of it before.
If you see a letter out of place, or one sloughed off here and there, or a word improperly used, just sit down and reckon up the many which by some crook or other get into the paper correctly. Newspapers are absolutely thrown together nowadays, Ezra, and the editor hasn't time to weigh words before giving items a lick and a promise and trusting the rest to the Lord. The press waits, mails must be caught, everything nowadays in a print shop is in a hurry. The type-setting machine is responsible for some of these things, Ezra, and the proof-readers sometimes fall to get a neckhold on the editor's meaning. We hear of the errors as soon as they appear in print, Ezra; people come in to tell us about them. We affect an air of surprise, but we know they're there just the same, Ezra, just the same. By the way, Ezra, have you paid your poll tax? Is there a turned letter in that account? And is there something sloughed off your subscription account? Look it up and see, Ezra, and look pleasant.
DEATH OF MRS. CORBIN
Her Father Fought in the War of 1812
Mrs. Lucy A. Corbin died at the home of her son-in-law, C. G. Billings, on East Broadway, Monday morning at 2:40. She was a native of Vermont, and was in her sixtyninth year. She had been ill for a long time and succumbed to the infirmities of old age. Burial services were held on Tuesday afternoon at 2 o'clock. Rev. Moore of the Methodist church officiated.
Lucy A. Davis was born September 26, 1840, in the state of Vermont and died at the home of her son-in-law, C. G. Billings, in Anaheim, Cal., Oct. 25, 1909, at the age of 69 years, 29 days.
At the age of six years she was taken by her parents to New York state, where she grew to womanhood. At an early age she accepted the Lord Jesus Christ to guide her life and united with the Methodist Episcopal church, remaining a faithful and consistent christian all her life.
She was reared in a patriotic home, as her father defended our flag in the war of 1812. Naturally, she selected as a life companion one ing down Van Ness avenue. And we doubt if he could. He wouldn't see him. He'd be thinking of that half-page broadside editorial he was about to prepare on the threatened war between Germany and England.
Cahill ran a weekly here in Anaheim in the 70's, called the Review. It was as ably edited as the Quarterly Review. News it hadn't any. An irate populace made him leave town suddenly. Ably written editorials on the effects of the Russo-Turkish war or the impending clash of the Lion and Bear in Afghanistan, Disraeli expanding budget—these it had, well prepared and scholarly; but news—well, news was tabooed in the Review office. The people stood it long as they could, and finally told Cahill he would have to quit. And he did.
Cahill is a luminary of first magnitude in Frisco journalism, but as a tall-grass editor he wasn't worth shucks. He ran the Santa Ana Blade—and it died on his hands.
One day he stood in the judge's stand at the Santa Ana racetrack watching Silkwood. In the stands were Charley Durfee, Don Gaspar de Portola and other sports. It proved to be a Waterloo for Willets. The black pacer was ignominously defeated—and people have not yet got done talking about how Willets skinned them. The county went broke in the race.
"I suppose you'll have a screamer about this in the Blade tonight?" venturesome newspaper man observed him.
Cahill gave him a scornful glare as he pulled away at a mammoth car; and superciliously shook his head.
That evening the Los Angeles evening papers had first-page sensation about the race. The papers sold like hotcakes by the thousands.
The next day the Blade died.
Cahill was introduced to Horace McPhee at a Sacramento restaurant many years afterward. The former was writing the best criticisms of the convention that were printed in any San Francisco paper. The latter was a delegate from this county.
"Mr. Cahill," said a mutual friend "shake hands with Mr. McPhee. He is the editor of the Blade. You remember the Blade?"
Cahill pushed his chair back from the table, as he turned partly around to get a better view of McPhee. His napkin dropped in his lap.
The two shook hands cordially.
TRAVELS IN INDIA
Ebell Club Hold Instructive and Enjoyable Meeting
The Travel Section of the Ebell met at the home of Mrs. Falkenstein on Saturday afternoon. The meeting was called to order by the leader, Mrs. F. C. Spencer. Roll call was answered with facts concerning India. After a short business meeting the following program was rendered:
Situation of Ceylon—Mrs. Rose.
Early History of Ceylon—Mrs. Dutton.
Botanical Garden of Kandy—Mrs. Storm.
Bombay—Miss Walker.
The Parsees—Miss Rehwoldt.
A Parsee funeral—Mrs. Rehwoldt.
Treatment of animals in Bombay—
At the age of six years she was taken by her parents to New York state, where she grew to womanhood. At an early age she accepted the Lord Jesus Christ to guide her life and united with the Methodist Episcopal church, remaining a faithful and consistent christian all her life.
She was reared in a patriotic home, as her father defended our flag in the war of 1812. Naturally, she selected as a life companion one who had likewise heard his country’s call, and in the 26th year of her life she married E. E. Corbin, who won honors during the civil war.
They located in the state of Wisconsin where she remained until 1886, when she removed to Dakota. In 1906 she came to Anaheim with Mr. Billings with whom she made her home.
She was called upon to bear a goodly share of the world’s sorrows, as her husband, all her brothers and sisters, as well as her children, having preceded her in death.
Surely God has called home another of His faithful children, and the home once made so cheerful by her presence will know her voice no more. Yet a life such as Sister Corbin lived will continue to bear fruit for the Master she so faithfully served.
The heart sympathy of the entire community goes out to our brother in his sad bereavement.
B. Hartfield is enlarging his jewelry and optical establishment, and has ordered a number of new wall cases to display his expanding stock. His store is being repapered and refitted. The jewelry stock is being enlarged and improved, and he will have an up-to-date optical department. Call and see him.

BACK AGAIN IN AMERICA
Andrew Gillison and Family Return
to Los Alamitos from England
Ten years ago last month Andrew-Gillison and family left Los Alamitos for their former home in Lancashire, England, after a residence of thirteen years in the land of the free and home of the brave. When they reached New York they were celebrating Dewey's victory, and it was three days before he was able to do business with the banks. He transferred his passage to another ship, and after a wait of nearly a week sailed for the other side.
In the ten years of his residence at Lancashire Mr. Gillison prospered, but the longing for the home in the West was ever present. Two years

He transferred his passage to another ship, and after a wait of nearly a week sailed for the other side.
In the ten years of his residence at Lancashire Mr. Gillison prospered, but the longing for the home in the West was ever present. Two years ago a daughter returned to Los Alamitos, later two sturdy sons came out and now hold responsible positions in the sugar factory.
Ten years — the old folks could stand of it away from the blue skies and balmy breezes of Southern California. They kept posted on this section by reading the Gazette every week, which they received eleven days after its publication, and more and more resolved to return. They arrived with their three younger children a week ago, and a joyful family reunion occurred at the sugar factory town.
On Saturday a portly gentleman with a well-bred English inflection entered the office and inquired for the editor.
"Hello, Gillison," was the response, for ten years had passed quickly, and time had left no traces upon the countenance of our former fellow-townsman.
Mr. Gillison will reside with his family at Los Alamitos, and the town will profit by the acquisition of himself and family. A welcome home again, old friend.
COCKADE IN HIS HAT
Judge Shanley Breaks Loose and Talks About Pittsburg Again
Judge Shanley is still harping on the victory of the Pirates over the Tigers, and on Saturday broke loose again, with an illuminated card decorating his hat, sent him all the way from Pittsburg, showing a lurid, bloodthirsty pirate prancing upon the prostrate form of an unhappy tiger. The card was embellished with the words "Nuff Ced." The judge went about it this way: First he gets his victim in a corner where he cannot get away. Then he proceeds:
"Did you hear how Pittsburg skinned Detroit? That's the greatest team of ballplayers in the country today for money, marbles or chalk."

DISTURBED HIS SLUMBERS
Paving Plant Shuts Down for Half a Day
The paving plant was idle half a day the other morning because Ad Schneider, night engineer at the city power-house, made a vigorous kick to Los Angeles headquarters that the exhaust of the gasoline engine disturbed his slumbers. Schneider painted the horrors of the plant in such realistic fashion that a muffler was ordered put in. At noon the works resumed operations, with noise considerably lessened.
Schneider's complaint is similar to that made by an old-timer many years ago against the granting of a franchise by the city trustees to the Santa Fe railroad for entering town on Orange street.
He appeared before the city fathers and said he took a nap every afternoon, and if the railroad came into town on Orange street cars would probably disturb his slumbers.
Men in town are kicking about the paving company being so long at its job. But Schneider's slumbers must not be disturbed, even if we never have any pavement.

CUT WITH A KNIFE
Arthur Waidler Wipes Up Floor with Mexican
Arthur Waidler, an employee at Oliver Hill's livery, was cut over the eye by a Mexican with a knife on Tuesday evening. Waidler had a dispute with three Mexicans, who accused him of not feeding their horse which had been put up in the barn. The horse had been properly fed. In the scrimmage which followed Waidler polished up the floor with one of the trio, beating him in approved fashion. A slash over the eye made it necessary for Dr. Beebe to take five orating his hat, sent him all the way from Pittsburg, showing a lurid, bloodthirsty pirate prancing upon the prostrate form of an unhappy tiger. The card was embellished with the words "Nuff Ced." The judge went about it this way: First he gets his victim in a corner where he cannot get away. Then he proceeds:
"Did you hear how Pittsburg skinned Detroit? That's the greatest team of ballplayers in the country today for money, marbles or chalk. They let Detroit take three games of course, but if I had been there they wouldn't have got a smell. But that man Clark is a dandy; greatest captain in the world. And Wagner — greatest ballplayer on earth."
One man told the judge Detroit could have beaten Pittsburg if Jennings had tried, and he narrowly escaped with his life. He was taken to the hospital.
Several victims have had to be rescued by friends. They were all in when succor came. When last heard of the judge was still talking about Pittsburg.
CUT WITH A KNIFE
Arthur Waidler Wipes Up Floor with Mexican
Arthur Waidler, an employee at Oliver Hill's livery, was cut over the eye by a Mexican with a knife on Tuesday evening. Waidler had a dispute with three Mexicans, who accused him of not feeding their horse which had been put up in the barn. The horse had been properly fed. In the scrimmage which followed Waidler polished up the floor with one of the trio, beating him in approved fashion. A slash over the eye made it necessary for Dr. Beebe to take five orating his hat, sent him all the way from Pittsburg, showing a lurid, bloodthirsty pirate prancing upon the prostrate form of an unhappy tiger.

TEDDY BEARS IN BAD
Fail to Show Up and Baseball Game Forfeited
Teddy Bears repeated the performance of the Los Angeles athletics and failed to show up on Sunday, to the disgust of Manager Fisher and a large crowd which had come to see the game. Two such experiences are enough to dishearten any manager, but Fisher is out for another game on Sunday between his nine and the West Jefferson Merchants of Los Angeles. The line up is as follows:
Pitcher — Spencer and Huntington, Anaheim; Lasalda, Merchants; catcher—Collins and Watson; 1b—Valencia and Galbert; 2b—Burton and O'Nell; 3b—Carpenter and Kalt; shortstop—Fisher and Hughes; left field—Etchandy and McGilvery; center field—Schneider and Florentine; rightfield—Hendrick and Shortill.
stitches in the wound.
Waidler asked the third Mexican if he wanted any of it, but the paisano declined with thanks. The three left town hurriedly.
Then Waidler washed his wound and mounting a bicycle rode to Dr. Beebe's, to have his face sewed up.
Waidler gets the decision. No arrests.
