The only Baking Powder made from Royal Grape Cream of Tartar ROYAL Baking Powder Absolutely PURE GARDEN' GROVE Harry Kenah has sold his residence property, including one acre of land, to Frank Ford, and will give immediate possession. Mr. Ford has also purchased three acres of the McKinnon property, east of the Kenah place. Mr. Kenah, it is understood, expects to buy other property in Garden Grove, if he finds a place to suit, otherwise to build again. Miss Minnie Christensen was here from Los Angeles Sunday for a visit at home, and was accompanied by Miss Taylor, a Los Angeles friend. Mrs. Harry Kenah started Wednesday for an extended visit with her house owned by Mrs. E. Rogers, opposite her present home, to the ranch one mile north of town which he recently purchased from Henry Otta. The latter has bought ten acres about one mile east of the Grove upon which he will reside. The house vacated by Dr. Kerr will be occupied by Mrs. Jewell. Repairs have been made to the interior of the Free Methodist church building this week, including repapering and painting. John Jentges is engaged in the manufacture of cement irrigating-pipe with headquarters at the Garden Grove lumber company's yard. A large quantity of pine has just been immediate possession. Mr. Ford has also purchased three acres of the McKinnon property, east of the Kenah place.

Miss Minnie Christensen was here from Los Angeles Sunday for a visit at home, and was accompanied by Miss Taylor, a Los Angeles friend. Mrs. Harry Kenah started Wednesday for an extended visit with relatives at Hamilton, Ontario, her former home. She will also make a brief stop at Chicago with her sister, who resides in that city. Services at the Baptist church next Sunday will be in charge of Rev. James Coutts of Downey, who is expected to preach at the regular hours morning and evening. Property belonging to the estate of Robert H. Tapp, incompetent, consisting of ten acres near Garden Grove, is advertised for sale by Chas. W. McKeen, administrator, sale to take place Dec. 9. W. L. Jencks was in Los Angeles on business Saturday. Those who attended the Y.M.C.A. workers' conference at Anaheim last Sunday report a very enjoyable and profitable time. Music by the Garden Grove male quartette was a feature of special interest at the afternoon and evening sessions. The quartette includes Messrs. W. D. Junkin, Garfield Allen, William Tyler and Everett Preston. Others who attended the conference were Milo Allen, Harry Kenah, Percy McColaugh, Ben Oertly, Fred Winters, Frank Winters, W. L. Jencks, P. M. German. Definite news received a few days ago by W. F. Willis from relatives at Syracuse, New York, confirm his identity as the beneficiary of his uncle's will and assure him that a bequest of twenty-five thousand dollars awaits only the formality of legal proceedings to be turned over to his possession. A letter from attorneys for the estate presents to Willis the embarrassing alternative of choice between the twenty-five thousand in the form of a draft, or title to real estate in Syracuse of the same value and yielding a handsome annual income. Of course we all hope he'll take the cash and invest it here in Garden Grove, for that would be a safe thing to do, and we don't want to lose him from the town. He has been a worthy citizen, and we have no doubt the town will benefit by out one mile east of the Grove upon which he will reside. The house vacated by Dr. Kerr will be occupied by Mrs. Jewell. Repairs have been made to the interior of the Free Methodist church building this week, including repapering and painting. John Jentges is engaged in the manufacture of cement irrigating-pipe with headquarters at the Garden Grove lumber company's yard. A large quantity of pipe has just been turned out for the Stanton tract, east of Benedict station, and he is beginning this week a contract to supply several hundred feet of large pipe for Frank Rogers. Through the agency of Geo. R. Reyburn the Garden Grove school district has sold five lots fronting on Euclid avenue in the tract where the old schoolhouse was located. Two lots were sold to S. H. Cornell, two to F. M. Rogers and one to Philip Simon. Mrs. J. A. Edwards of Ridgway, Colorado, is a visitor at the home of A. L. Davis. She expects to become a permanent resident of this locality and is looking for a bargain in a walnut ranch or other desirable property. A. A. Ball and wife have returned from a trip which included visits at Los Angeles, Rivera, Pasadena and Lamanda Park. They report a very pleasant time. FULLERTON Assisted by visiting clergy and laity the people of the First Methodist Church dedicated their handsome new house of worship here Sunday. The edifice stands as a monument to quick inception, construction and completion. As late as last April subscriptions were started and plans were developed. The building now appears as a finished and enduring structure and free of debt. All-day services, which were in charge of Rev. J. L. Pitner, superintendent of the San Diego district, marked the opening of the new church. The sermon at the morning service was delivered by Rev Charles Edward Locke, D.D., pastor of the First Methodist Church of Los Angeles. Among the attractive musical features were singing by a quartette composed of Mrs. Embree and Misses Jenness Parker, Harkness and Loomis, and a vocal solo by Mr. Cooper of Los Angeles. Rev. F. R Holcomb, founder of the church parish.

Of course we all hope he'll take the cash and invest it here in Garden Grove, for that would be a safe thing to do, and we don't want to lose him from the town. He has been a worthy citizen, and we have no doubt the town will benefit by his good fortune should he decide to remain here. And that's what he'll do. T. E. Niles stopped work on his new house long enough for a trip to San Dimas to take Thanksgiving dinner with his folks, Mrs. Niles having been called there the first of the week on account of the sickness of their daughter, Mrs. Harvey. The building is enclosed, and it is evident Tom is going to spare no pains to make it a pretty home, charming in appearance and convenient in arrangement. It is 24x40 feet in size and contains six rooms, besides pantry, bath and toilet. There will be wide overhanging eaves, and the front porch will be something different from the ordinary—nothing like it in Garden Grove, anyway, Tom says. Something on the mission style, designed for comfort as well as for looks. In detail of arrangement and interior finish, the house is designed to meet every requirement for a home of comfort. Tom says this is where he is going to live, that he and his good wife know just how they want their house and are going to have it to suit. Elmer D. Nearing has purchased from Jerome Fulsom one acre in the Home tract, opposite the schoolhouse and is preparing to build a substantial six-room house on the property. Dr. Kerr moved this week from the Pitner, superintendent of the San Diego district, marked the opening of the new church. The sermon at the morning service was delivered by Rev Charles Edward Locke, D.D., pastor of the First Methodist Church of Los Angeles. Among the attractive musical features were singing by a quartette composed of Mrs. Embree and Misses Jenness Parker, Harkness and Loomis, and a vocal solo by Mr. Cooper of Los Angeles. Rev. F. R Holcomb, founder of the church, participated in the services One of the features was the raising of all the debt against the church, which cost not far from $20,000. This liability-clearing function was in charge of W. M. Bowen of Los Angeles. More than $6000 was raised within a short period to cover a balance of about $5400 due. There was a children's service in the afternoon and an evening service at which there was a sermon by Rev. D. F. Howe, D.D. The building is of Gothic design and contains several memorial windows. It is electric lighted, but is equipped with an independent gas plant for emergency use. Two sleeping rooms have been fitted up and furnished in the rear of the building, which will be used for visiting clergymen and friends of the church, who may visit this city from outside points. In the basement there is a sort of postoffice for the distribution of Sunday-school literature, each member having an individual family box, which does away with the literature being passed around through the congregation. This basement has a seating capacity of 300 persons. There are individual Sunday school classrooms on the main floor and in the basement. The dining-room in the basement will seat 100 people, and is connected with a suitable buffet kitchen, 15x15 feet. Fresh Oysters at City Market. BUENA PARK One of the notable events of the season was a mask ball for one hundred guests, given by the local Fraternal Aid council some evenings ago. The patronesses included Mines. C. H. Newcombe, J. S. Rose, S. R. Brewer, F. J. Spidel, D. Jackman, J. H. Thurman and W. H. Haines. Among the maskers, all of whom were clever, were Misses Beatrice Clarke, who impersonated Topsy; Estelle Newcombe, as Bo-Peep; Eula Thurman, as Portia; Ella Fossek, in the garb of a Roumanian peasant girl; Mrs. Geo. E. Gill, as the Girl of the Golden West; O. H. Perry and Warren McAllep, as the pajama twins; C. L. Newcombe, as Sambo; J. Noel Thompson, as Raffles; James Bishop and Albert Schumacher, sailor boys; W. H. Haines, French chef. This council will give many entertainments during the winter. A recent arrival here is Miss Carrie Brown of Browning, Penn., who will spend the winter with her aunt, Mrs. H. E. Guthrie. Mrs. L. M. Falkenstein and little daughter of New York City are visiting Mrs. W. H. Coughran, the former's sister. During the latter part of the month another sister, Mrs. Birch of Prescott, Ariz., will join them. This is their first meeting in seventeen years. C. Ernest Perkius of San Bernardino remained over the week-end with his sister, Mrs. C. H. Newcombe. The Trapp brothers are building a new bungalow south of the Park. It promises to be an attractive addition to the residence section. Perry Brós., successors to Whitaker-Perry Co., have enlarged their business by adding a meat market, an addition that is much appreciated by the people of this section. ALL STARS ECLIPSED Local Astronomers Find Them Of Lesser Magnitude The All Stars of Los were out of their orbit on the local diamond on Sunday afternoon, when their effulgence was dimmed by a 13 to 1 score, with the hard-hitting bunch of local astronomers on the long end. The stars began falling from the start, for while they had their batting clothes on, the snappy playing of the locals kept them from scoring until the sixth inning, when an error by Spencer and a pass by Collins gave them their only circle of the bases in the game. The locals sent 13 men around the circuit, beginning the trouble in the first, and continuing pyrotechnics throughout the struggle. The game was an unusual one, in that Valencia and Collins made all but two of the outouts, the former getting 12 and the latter 13. Huntington and Fisher each took a fly. Spencer had 11 strikeouts, and allowed 7 scattered hits. The visitors could not hit consecutively. In the eighth, with three men on bases, and none out, Bair was caught at the home plate, Valencia to Collins. Rose flew to Fisher, and Mockler, who had made three hits in three times up, struck out. Huntington made three hits out of three times up.

BOYS Entertained by Women's Auxiliary and Social Function At the reception given by the Women's Auxiliary on Saturday evening the junior members of the Y.M.C.A. and their friends were happily and profitably entertained. In the parlors, cheery and bright with autumn foliage and Japanese lanterns, was gathered a crowd of eager-faced boys, nearly all of whom clamored for a front seat. They came believing, and their faith was justified. The program began with an ad dress of welcome by the president of the Women's Auxiliary, Mrs. J. L. Beebe, who spoke earnestly and feelingly of her sixteen years of school work; of the thousands of boys who had been under her supervision, and of how she had come to know that she surest and quickest way to develop the latent best in a boy's character is to teach him, first, to understand stand, and then to assume responsibility for conditions as he finds them. That it is not so much what we do for the boys as what we do with the boys that will count for greatest good. Mr. J. P. Hagerman, the speaker of the evening was now introduced. Mr. Hagerman, who has charge of the Triangle Cadets of the Los Angeles Y.M.C.A., is an athlete famed throughout several states. He has taken part in many noted contests, and was present at the Olympic games when America secured her championship. He gave a vivid account of this event, and gave it with the enthusiasm of the true athlete, but with still greater enthusiasm he spoke of how the nation honors the young man who has proved himself a hero in the contest with evil, a contest to which the weak as well as strong HUNTINGTON BEACH A fire which destroyed the house of Frank Webb near the plant of the cannery about a mile from this city on Saturday morning at 4 o'clock was almost the cause of a tragedy. A daughter of Mr. Webb, a girl about 14, was left in the house when the remainder of the family escaped, and but for the heroism of the father would have been cremated. After lighting the fire in a stove preparatory to cooking breakfast, one of the Webb boys went out into the yard to attend to the stock and when he returned the house was a sheet of flames. The father and mother and three children managed to escape from the burning building in their night clothing. In their flight the parents neglected to see that all the children were out of the house. Discovering that one of the girls was still there, the frantic father rushed back into the flames and smoke, finding his daughter almost suffocated by smoke. He barely managed to escape with her before the building fell. The house was entirely destroyed with all its contents. The family was carved for at the home of U. Kanawyer, a neighbor. ORANGE W. W. Downs fired three bullets into the body of Roland Fletcher and killed him at noon Monday week.Fifteen minutes later, while sitting in the office of City Marshal Jernigan who had arrested him, Downs drew his revolver and sent a bullet into his own head. He died at the hospital that night. Downs' wife and two children were in the house when the murder occurred. Jealousy caused the shooting. Downs and his wife had been separated for months until Downs arrived a week ago from the north. Sunday night he and Fletcher, who among others had visited the house on Santa Fe avenue where Mrs. Downs lived, quarreled at the woman's house. Monday while Downs was away, Fletcher went to the house.

He died at the hospital that night. Downs' wife and two children were in the house when the murder occurred. Jealousy caused the shooting. Downs and his wife had been separated for months until Downs arrived a week ago from the north. Sunday night he and Fletcher, who among others had visited the house on Santa Fe avenue where Mrs. Downs lived, quarreled at the woman's house. Monday while Downs was away, Fletcher went to the house. Soon Downs walked in. Fletcher's revolver, a 38 colt, lay on the floor. Downs seized it and the two men rushed at each other. Downs declared afterward that he fired only when grappled. Fletcher was hit three times, twice in the abdomen and once in the head. He dropped to the floor and died. Downs gave himself up. The marshal took Fletcher's revolver, a knife and a pair of brass knuckles from him. The officer and his prisoner walked to the city hall. Downs sat down while Jernigan, believing Downs unarmed, turned his back to telephone the coroner. Suddenly the prisoner drew a small 32 caliber revolver and killed himself.
