They will go into camp, according to the rules, with field and hospital equipment and commissariat. Forty-eight Esquires won their spurs of knighthood on Saturday evening, when the impressive work of the third degree was revealed to them. The goat was overworked to an extent never before known, with one exception in the history of the lodge, that instance being the initiation of 117 candidates in January, when the knights continued in session all night. For the first meeting night in April 50 candidates have been already enrolled. The number may reach 75 before the appointed time arrives. The lodge’s membership is now well over 200, and it is hoped to increase it to 300 by the time of the grand lodge meeting at Santa Cruz.

The companies marched up town, performing difficult evolutions, and later marched to Odd Fellows' hall, where a meeting was held. At noon the visiting officers and men were entertained at luncheon at the Germania Cafe, where a tempting menu was discussed. During the afternoon they were made to feel at home by local Knights of the uniform rank and subordinate lodge. The companies were subsequently in session at the hall, and later again appeared upon the streets, marching like veterans. A group photograph was taken on South Lemon street, showing large green pepper trees in the background. The companies presented a handsome appearance, and their evolutions elicited many words of praise from the onlookers. The local uniform rank is the youngest in the state, but is enthusiastic enough to say that it will make an effort to secure some of the valuable prizes offered at the grand lodge meeting. It is expected 100 uniformed Knights will attend the Santa Cruz meeting, and the number may reach 150. Many will be accompanied by their wives, and they will be absent probably two weeks.

Eastman, an old and highly respected resident of this city, died at his home on Olive street on Saturday morning, in his 77th year. He had resided here for eighteen years, and was favorably known by all with whom he came in contact.The funeral occurred on Sunday afternoon.Rev. Mitchell of the Presbyterian church conducted the burial services. Mr. Eastman was born at Lesbon,N.H., January 14, 1833. He came to San Francisco in 1858, remaining for two years. He removed to Silver City, Idaho, where he was eight years in the hotel business. He returned to New Hampshire, where on March 31, 1870, at Whitefield he married Miss Persis Hunt. He moved to Nebraska in 1874, remaining four years. He then went to the Black Hills, Dakota, remaining in that state fourteen years. He came to Anaheim in 1892. He was in poor health for ten years, suffering from a complication of disorders. Death was due to pneumonia.

Many will be accompanied by their wives, and they will be absent probably two weeks. The uniformed rank go as guests of Major Royer, who will also take them to his former home at Napa. Calistoga Springs, San Francisco and other points up north will be visited. At Napa and other places north they will be banqueted by Knights. Their trip promises to be one of royal entertainment throughout the northern citrus belt. At Santa Cruz they will exert an earnest endeavor to secure the meeting of the grand lodge for this city in 1911. They have the cordial assistance of Los Angeles Knights and others of the southern counties, and it is understood the session will come south. In recognition of the fact that the baby lodge is already one of the strongest in the state, and bids fair soon to be well up among the largest in the United States, it is said in well-informed circles that grand lodge officials are predisposed to give ear to the solicitation of local Knights to have next year's meeting in Anaheim. Another item of great importance to come up at Santa Cruz is the selection of a site for the home for widows and orphans of members. Headed by Major Royer, who has become known as the Man who Delivers the Goods, local Knights will make a bid for the home. Major Royer is sanguine of success, and backs his invitation with facts and figures showing the manifold advantages of this section, which can make the home self-supporting, as contrasted with points up-north where such conditions do not prevail. Major Royer has publicly stated his opinion that this valley is the most beautiful spot on earth, and backed as he is with facts and figures showing the "UNION DEPOT" The Union Depot, a one-act comedy, will be given in the opera-house, on Friday evening, April 18, by local talent, under the direction of Miss Ethel Snyder. The proceeds will be for the benefit of the St. Michael's Guild. About 70 of our town people will take part. Many pretty choruses and drills will be introduced by the children and young people.

Joplin and others, better known as the salaries case, was argued in the superior court on Monday by R. Y. Williams and Judge Victor Montgomery for the defendants and District Attorney Davis for plaintiff. The action was brought to enjoin County Treasurer Joplin from honoring warrants of deputies in the county court house for their salaries, the contention of the district attorney being that payment to deputies is an increase in the salary paid the office, while the defense holds that increased work in the various offices made necessary the appointment of deputies and that salaries for such deputies are not an increase in the compensation of the principal. Judge Willis of Los Angeles heard the argument and at its conclusion took the matter under advisement. Piano lessons by Prof. W. Hoffmeister. For particulars write to W. Hoffmeister, Anaheim, Gen.

The one is that of a sincere body of men earnestly endorsing a man who proved himself to be a friend in need, at a time when such thoughtful friendship as well as assistance seemed urgent- The Chamber of Commerce at its meeting on Monday evening went on record as favoring the construction of paved roads leading into Anaheim from all directions, and called upon citizens of neighboring communities to assist in the work of securing needed thoroughfares in the northern end of the county. Seven of the nine directors were present, as follows: Hans Welsel, A. A. Mills, Charles Eygabroad, F. W. Champion, Oscar Renner, Wm. Falkenstein and E. E. Angell. The following resolution, introduced by Mills, and seconded by Falkenstein, was unanimously passed: "Be it resolved, by the Anaheim chamber of commerce that under the proposed good roads, the people of Olive be asked to assist in having a paved road from Olive to Anaheim; that the people of Yorba be asked to join with the people of Olinda and Placentia and assist in getting paved highways from Yorba and Olinda, via Placentia avenue and Center street to Anaheim; that the people of Fullerton be asked to assist in getting a paved road connecting these two cities; that the people of Buena Park be asked to assist in getting a paved highway south from there to Anaheim via the west county road; that the people of Los Alamitos and Cypress be asked to assist in getting a paved highway from Los Alamitos via Cypress to Anaheim; that the people of Garden Grove be asked to assist in getting a paved highway connecting Garden Grove with Anaheim; that the people of Orange be asked to assist in getting a paved highway from Orange to Anaheim." In reference to bonding the city for street paving, the chamber of commerce again expressed its desire that $15,000 bonds be issued, instead of $7500, as proposed by the city trustees, and advocated twenty-year bonds instead of forty years. The committee on public improvements was instructed to appear before the city trustees at their next meeting and lay these suggestions before them. Considerable discussion ensued in reference to the sewer-system, but the chamber decided to let the matter go over until the election of a new board of city trustees.

A committee of three, consisting of Stockwell, Gervais and Ahlborn, representing the chamber of commerce, were appointed to assist in carrying on the work of forming the district. Mills offered the following resolution regarding industrial departments in the high school, which was carried: "Whereas, It having been learned from the principal of the Fullerton union highschool that a successful start has been made in the introduction of industrial departments therein, at approximately the following cost;— Sewing and cooking departments, $650 for apparatus and installing;$250 per year for supplies; $1050 for salary per year.

FULLERTON Robert Stanfield went north a few days ago to get a position in the oil fields, leaving money with his wife to support herself, and three small children during his absence. On his return home some days ago he found that his wife was missing. There was another great surprise in store for him when he learned his brother, C. Stanfield, had also left Fullerton at about the same hour his wife disappeared. C. Stanfield leaves behind a wife and two small children. The missing man and woman were traced to Santa Ana and it is believed they are headed for some new oil field, having made inquiry at Olinda in regard to the oil fields far down in Mexico. Mrs. C. Stanfield has left with her children for her former home in Arkansas, having lost all hope of her husband returning here. There is much talk here over the matter, as it is about the worst case of double desertion that has ever taken place in the county. Mrs. Bob Stanfield carried away money her husband left for her support when he went north to find work, and also bedding, glassware and silverware. The officers are doing everything possible to run down the missing people. A complaint has been filed against Mrs. Bob Stanfield, charging her with deserting her children, and it is said a like complaint will be filed against C. Stanfield.

Contrast this with the spectacle of a throng of office-seekers and would-be office-seekers swarming about Johnson. For the men honestly arrayed against the continued domination of the Southern Pacific in the politics we have sentiments of nothing but the highest terms of regard. We are with them—and so is the Hon. P. A. Stanton. We rejoice in their independence of character. We are in this fight with them. But why support Johnson when we have a man in Orange county who is fighting the railroad machine, and has fought it for ten years vigorously, valiantly, fearlessly, and successfully, too—in the Hon. P. A. Stanton? Will some of these new-made reformers tell us why? If Hiram W. Johnson or his supporters can point to a single act of Mr. Stanton, during his long term of public service, against the interests of the people, and for the railroad, Mr. Johnson shall have our support. On the other hand, if we can prove to the voters of Orange county that Stanton has fought and has been fought by the Southern Pacific machine; that he has stood up for the interests of the people, and never truckled to the railroad—then we shall expect them to give him their support.

Mr. Johnson with one breath assails the railroad, and with the other tells us he is a candidate for the governorship. To you, clean men of the party—you who love a fighter and love a fair fight—whom shall it be: the man who bears the scars of the battle, or the man who never uttered a single word against the railroad machine in his life until he became a candidate for the highest office in the gift of the people of this State?

A blue-print drawing was presented showing the location of the railroad, with proposed right of way on this and adjoining properties. It was ordered that the application of the Santa Fe company be granted, and the president and secretary be authorized to sign the deed of right of way. Mr. Brunworth advised the board that Ben Dauser was about to construct a pipe line upon his property but that he would be unable to run water to all his land unless the company ditch on Santa Ana street is piped for a distance of about 300 feet to his corner, in order to obtain greater pressure.

The board of supervisors opened the bids and awarded the sale to the American Savings bank of Los Angeles on a bid of $121.50 premium, all bids being par and accrued interest. The bonds are ten bonds of $600 each, bearing five per cent. Prof. Hermann S. Hering, C.S.B., who is to deliver a free lecture on Christian Science at the Anaheim opera-house on Saturday evening, graduated from the University of Pennsylvania in 1886 with the degree of M.E. He was made Professor of Mechanics and Electrical Engineering in Philadelphia and in 1891 was called to John Hopkins University where for eight years he was engaged in lecturing and laboratory research. He has been first reader in the Mother Church at Boston and later president of the church, and is a member of the international board of lectureship appointed by the First Church of Christ Scientist, Boston, Mass. Anaheim is very fortunate in having an opportunity to hear him. Admission free. LIBRARY NOTES The following books have recently been donated to the library: Katherine Sheaves, by Mrs. S. Sheldon, from Miss Mary Bauer. Three volumes of Rudyard Kipling from Frank Baum. Steps to Christ, Heralds of the Morning, the Marvel of Nations, Daniel and the Revelations, and the Desire of Nations, from W. C. Morgan. Natural Salvation by C. A. Stephens, Faith and Works of Christian Science and Credulities of Christian Science, from Joseph Helmsen. From the students of Miss Quirk, art teacher at the highschool, a well executed lot of water-color paintings and drawings. They are well worthy of a place in anybody's drawingroom. Come and see for yourself. The lawn around the library has been put in, making the appearance of the grounds more becoming a public building. Mr. Carnegie has not called upon us as yet, but we hope an invitation will be sent to him, if only through courtesy, showing that we appreciate his gift of $10,000 for our library. Thos. S. Armstrong, Librarian.
