ANAHEIM VOLUME XXXX COMPANIES 25 AND 40, UNILOCAL PYTHIAN SISTERS FORM NEW TEMPLE OFFICERS CHOSEN TO BE INKNIGHTS ARE ON PARADE Camera Man Obtains View During Recent Street Maneuvers The photograph appearing at the SUGAR FACTOR EXCITION EASTERN CAPITAL LOCAL PYTHIAN SISTERS FORM NEW TEMPLE OFFICERS CHOSEN TO BE INSTALLED SATURDAY EVENING Team of Purity Temple to Be Present, and Act as Installing Officers—Local Members Will Banquet Visitors—Knights In Armor Bestirring Themselves—Herman Stern Reveals Character as a Poet—Ho for Santa Cruz — Santa Ana Visitors Odd Fellows' hall was well filled with ladies on Wednesday afternoon of last week who gathered to meet Mrs. Stansbury of Los Angeles and organize a Temple of Pythian Sisters here. Mrs. Stansbury explained at length the purpose of the Temple, and at conclusion of remarks by several, the following ladies were present officers of the new Temple: Mrs. Maud Sullivan, past chief; Mrs. Clara Simpson, most excellent chief; Mrs. Laura Resh, excellent senior; Mrs. Maud McCann, excellent junior; Mrs. Amanda Hill, manager; Mrs. Grace Houts, mistress of records and correspondence; Mrs. Kate Quarton, mistress of finance; Mrs. Maddie Schumacher, protector; Col. Royer, outer guard; Mrs. Carrie Huelster, Mrs. Mary Melrose, Mrs. Helen Hatfield, trustees. The newly elected officers will be installed at a meeting to be held on Saturday evening, when twenty-two members of Purity Temple, No. 2, of Los Angeles will be present to act as installing officers. During the evening a banquet will be served by the sisters of the newly formed lodge. The membership of the new Temple now numbers over fifty. The Knights of Pythias at their meeting on Saturday evening resolved to meet hereafter on Wednesday evening instead of Saturday. A feature of the meeting was the reading of the following original poem by Herman Stern, who modestly said he dashed it off with one hand while waiting for supper the previous evening. The photograph appearing at the top of this page is that of Companies 25 and 40 of the uniform rank, K. P., under command of Capt. J. G. Fowler of Los Angeles. At the center of a group of officers standing in front is Col. J. O. Royer of this city, appearing for the last time in the uniform of a major. Col. Royer was this week advanced to the rank of colonel upon the staff of the origadier-general, and designated assistant quartermaster-general. Company 25, composed of uniform rank men of Los Angeles and this city, will go to the grand lodge at Santa Cruz next month in full strength. Not less than 100 men in uniform will attend from this city. The company is out weekly for drill, and it was during the street maneuvers Sunday week that the camera man caught them on South Lemon street, near Broadway. Company 25 is out for every medal in sight at the state encampment—for the best-looking company as well as for other honors. Col. Royer has been elected Booster in Chief of the delegation, and has taken on his hands the large contract of landing the grand-lodge meeting for Anaheim in 1911. With him is every member of 25, and, it is said, every company in the southland, as well as a number in the north. After the grand lodge meeting the company and other guests of Col. Royer go in a special train to Napa, his former home, whence reports come that a royal welcome awaits them. Calistoga Springs, Sacramento and other points north will be visited, and on their return home Oakland and San Francisco. In each town street parades will be given. The trip will occupy two weeks. Many of the Knights will be accompanied by their wives. Fidelity lodge will banquet the baby company at Napa, and entertainment upon a lavish scale is being prepared. The company has been voted the freedom of the city, and the enthusiasm is spreading ab- The membership of the new Temple now numbers over fifty. The Knights of Pythias at their meeting on Saturday evening resolved to meet hereafter on Wednesday evening instead of Saturday. A feature of the meeting was the reading of the following original poem by Herman Stern, who modestly said he dashed it off with one hand while waiting for supper the previous evening. The poem will probably be set to music and sung on the trip to Santa Cruz. Stern has previously given indications of breaking away from the conventions of the sedate and proper, and dropping into poetry, but this is his most ambitious effort: Col. J. O. Royer and the U. R., K. of P. That the uniform rank of the K. P. Is O. K. we all to a man agree, And the company which is its soul and life No doubt is Company 25. Not long ago the boys looked sore, Had hardly six brave sets of four; But today the Knights are much alive In newly organized 25. From all sides there comes a shout. What was it brought these things about The answer is simple as we're alive We have a Booster in 25. It's Col. Royer, of whom no doubt The world at large has heard about At this conclusion you will arrive He is the soul of 25. His first thought in the morn you see Is uniform rank and K. of P., For these he works each day of his life, At night he dreams of 25. A man so full of vigor and vim One not a Knight can't talk to him. John Wents of Holstein, Iowa, has arrived in Anaheim, accompanied by his wife and daughter, and has rented the J. P. Hatzfeld home. Mr. Wents and family will take up their permanent residence here. They are friends of Attorney Ames. If you are looking for war to the knife, Say something to him against 25. He takes us to Santa Cruz in May For competitive drills I hear them say. Of winning all prizes you can't deprive The banner company 25. I could say of the Colonel a whole lot more, For he is a K. P. true to the core, But everything ends as we're alive, Three cheers for Royer and 25. Orders were issued for weekly drills for company 25, which goes north next month with eyes glued on a number of prizes offered by the grand encampment. Visitors were over from Santa Ana and other points and were treated with knightly courtesy. ANAHEIM GAZE ANAHEIM, CALIFORNIA, THURSDAY. MARCH 31, 1910 AND 40, UNIFORM RANK, KNIGHTS OF PYTHIAS, ANAHEIM SUGAR FACTORY TALK EXCITES INTEREST EASTERN CAPITALISTS EAGER ANAHEIM GETS FACTORY Option Taken on Tract of Land North of Town A well-authenticated report prevalled yesterday to the effect that MUZZLE YOUR DOGS SAY CITY TRUSTEES ORDINANCE INTRODUCED PROVID AND 40, UNIFORM RANK, KNIGHTS OF PYTHIAS, ANAHEIM DEE SUGAR FACTORY TALK EXCITES INTEREST EASTERN CAPITALISTS EAGER TO LOCATE NEAR ANAHEIM Chamber of Commerce Alert and in Close Touch With Situation—Report Yesterday that Site Would Be Selected North of Town—Electric Railway to Be Constructed to Haul Beets to Mill, Rumor—Negotiations Proceed Quietly for Several Weeks, and Important News Ready to Pop Loose Within a Few Days—Capitalists Were In Santa Ana Last week—Looked Over Anaheim Territory A sugar factory to be erected near Anaheim is the important information which transpired from inner circles yesterday. It has been known that the matter had been under discussion by the Chamber of Commerce and leading citizens here for some weeks past, but affairs were sub rosa, and nothing was said concerning it in this journal. A few days ago a Los Angeles paper ran across the party of Eastern capitalists who have been looking over this valley, with a view to erecting a large sugar factory, and a story concerning their intentions was printed. A report current on the streets yesterday was to the effect that a site had been practically selected north of town, and that rail connection would be made with it. The Pacific Electric may build to the site. It is proper to state that our public-spirited men have been in close touch with the situation, and yesterday information was given out that important things would be ready for the public within a day or two. The report printed in a Los Angeles paper reads as follows: "Southern California has the promise of a $3,000,000 beet sugar factory, which will create a demand for additional sugar beet acreage, as the result of the investigation of eastern capitalists into the California fuel oil question. 'C. M. Warner, president of the" ANAHEIM GETS FACTORY Option Taken on Tract of Land North of Town A well-authenticated report prevailed yesterday to the effect that Anaheim had been selected as the site for the new $3,000,000 sugar factory to be established by New York capitalists. Mr. Hadsell, who represents them, was in town some days ago, and in company of members of the chamber of commerce, drove to land immediately north of town, where an option was taken on 55 acres of land. A committee representing the chamber of commerce and merchants and manufacturers association was in consultation with Chief Engineer Pills bury in Los Angeles on Tuesday with a view to getting the Pacific Electric to construct a line to the site of the factory. Mr. Pillsbury has the matter under consideration. COL. SCHIEFER HERE Compliments Company E Upon Its Improvement Col. Schrieber was down from Los Angeles Thursday and put the boys through a rigid drill. After a short manual of arms drill in the hall, in which the Colonel himself took a rifle and participated, the company was marched down in the street and given a drill in platoon movements and extended order. There was snap and vim in the execution of the commands and Colonel Schrieber expressed himself as being much pleased over the improvement the company had shown since the last inspection. He cautioned the boys particularly to stand at strict attention at the coming inspection, remarking that by so doing they would gain much prestige in the eyes of inspecting officer. Captain Schindler read four new applications at the close of the drill and notified the members to appear for extra instruction on Sunday morning and also on Monday evening. Handcapped by the downpour on Sunday, a goodly number turned out for a stiff drill on Monday. The outlook for the future of the company has taken on a brighter hue of late and it is with confidence that the members expect to pass the ordinance.

Ordinance No. 222, evacuating and closing Elizabeth street came up for final reading and was adopted by unanimous vote. Ordinance No. 223, calling a municipal election for Monday, April 11, defining the precincts, and appointing election boards was read. The council chamber in the city hall was selected as the polling place for precinct No. 1, which comprises all that territory south of Center street; and the following persons were appointed members of the election board: Inspectors, Charles Deitrich and George Dutton; Judges, Frank Fox and W. J. Montgomery; Clerks, Max Boege and W. O. F. Schwenckert; Ballot Clerks, L. N. Wisser and J. M. Backs, Jr. A room in the second story of Jos.

The local school was represented by Miss Irene Mills and Hans Storm. The subject debated was, Resolved, That three-fourths of a jury should be competent to render a verdict in all cases requiring a jury trial. The points were: Los Angeles 194, Anaheim 189 2-3. With ten points added, Los Angeles' score was 204. Los Angeles thus wins its seventh consecutive debate. It defeated Anaheim last year. Prof. Walker and a delegation of 30 students accompanied the debaters. They returned on the owl. Frank Shevlin and Sir Knights Johnson, Goepper and others of Santa Ana attended the K. P. meeting on Saturday evening, and made interesting addresses. Mr. Shevlin recently returned from a trip to Mazatlan, where he went in company of a party looking for investments in land. He returned more than ever satisfied that Southern California was good enough for him. Inspectors, J. J. Schneider and Fred Maurer; Judges, O. T. Cailor and Fred Mickel; Clerks, O. H. Renner and F. A. Backs, Jr.; Ballot Clerks, H. V. Weisel and F. C. Rimpau. Ordinance No. 224, calling a special bond election was introduced and read by Clerk Merritt. It provides for the issuance of $7500 5 per cent bonds for the purpose of raising funds sufficient to pave South Los Angeles street fronting the municipal light and water plant, and certain street intersections. The bonds are to run forty years, and the date of election was fixed for Monday, May 2, 1910. The periodical hydrophobia scare has reached Anaheim as is evidenced by the introduction of Ordinance No. 225, which is aimed to protect its citizens from that dread disease. It directs the city marshal to provide a safe and sufficient pound, and to arrest and incarcerate therein all dogs, male or female, found roaming at large without protecting muzzles. The owner of a dog so impounded may recover him on the payment of $2 to the pound master, and on his failure to do so within a given time the animal becomes the property of the marshal, who may sell him, give him away, destroy him, or keep him for his own. All fees thus collected shall be kept by the marshal or his assistants as compensation for their work. City Engineer Steward exhibited a map showing the proposed extension of South Lemon street and the widening of that street from Santa Ana street south, certain residents in that section having petitioned for the same. The matter was laid over until next meeting. Continued on Page 8.

It provides of $7500 5 per cent purpose of raising RECEIPTS OVER $10,000 Monday Afternoon Saw Free City Delivery Assured Postmaster Duckworth announced on Monday afternoon that the day's business had witnessed the passing of the $10,000 mark set by the government for free city delivery of mails. The amount had been passed shortly after noon, and the afternoon business continued up to the high record set since the beginning of the year. Yesterday evening the business went several hundred dollars over the amount, with today yet to hear from. The fiscal year closes tonight. The postoffice business will be well over the mark. This means that beginning July next a free delivery of mails in this city will be inaugurated. An inspector will be sent here by the postoffice department. He will go over the city and lay it out in districts for the carriers. The postoffice department requires that before free delivery of mails is taken up all houses must be numbered, and street intersections properly designated. Then the names of all streets must be noted upon signs at the corners. A postoffice inspector will probably arrive in Anaheim as soon as the official report of the postmaster is made to Washington. A GLORIOUS RAIN Comes Opportunely, Insuring Banner Crop In Orange County Rain fell on Sunday to the amount of 1.03 inches, making a total for the week's precipitation, according to Mr. Dickel's gauge, of 1.95 inches, and for the season, 11.65 inches. Last season to date, 18.75. The rain comes opportunely, and insures splendid crops of grain, hay, beans and beets for this county. In places grain and hay began to show effects of the prolonged drouth, no rain having fallen since the first of the year. However, the heavy rains of December and the first days of the year, which resulted in floods in the lower sections of the county, wet the ground to such an extent SPEAKER STANTON AS A REFORMER HIS RECORD STANDS CLEAR IN THE LIGHT OF DAY Splenetic Attacks of Franklin Hichborn, Reproduced by Lincoln-Roosevelt Newspapers, Show on Examination Utter Falsity Of Their Position—Stanton Voted for Federal Line of Steamers—Was Right on Party Circle Bill, Non-Judiciary bill and Amendment to Primary Law Franklin Hichborn, an up-country socialist, for years a democrat, and now venerated idol of the Lincoln-Roosevelt push, has written a book in which he sets up a code of ethics by which members of the last legislature are by him judged. With Mr. Hichborn's politics we have nothing to do, but when he seeks to asperse the character of honorable men in the discharge of their duty to the people, patience ceases to be a virtue, and it is time to tear the mask from his disguises. Mr. Hichborn wrote a book attacking the record of members of the last legislature. So long as nobody read the book, little of any harm was done. But now that the Lincoln-Roosevelt push papers, from one end of the state to the other, are reprinting extracts from the book, which are furnished by Boss Lissner's overworked corps of typewriters, it is time to call a halt, analyze the character of this man, and expose the utter fallacy of his absurd position. More than that; no one in possession of his normal faculties would make these charges against these men of standing in the state. No one but a rascal would make these charges, as does Mr. Hichborn, by inuendo. Let him tell the whole story of his charges, and they fall flat. Rather than do this and be fair, he seeks to assassinate the character of men infinitely his superiors, and by hint and implication to place them in disfavor with the people. Other men have done this before. They have been exposed to the light of day, and here goes for Mr. Hichborn. M. Schneider and Hodges, O. T. Cailor Clerks, O. H. Renacks, Jr.; Ballot Sel and F. C. Rimel 224, calling a special was introduced and erritt. It provides of $7500 5 per cent purpose of raising to pave South Los monting the municipal plant, and certain bonds are issued, and the date of for Monday, May 2, hydrophobia scare him as is evidenced in Ordinance No. and to protect its citread disease. It disshal to provide a at pound, and to arte therein all dogs, found roaming at electing muzzles. The impounded may repayment of $2 to and on his failure given time the aniproperty of the sell him, give him or keep him for thus collected shall marshal or his assisttion for their work. Steward exhibited the proposed extenmon street and the street from Santa hill, certain residents having petitioned for matter was laid over. The rain comes opportunely, and insures splendid crops of grain, hay, beans and beets for this county. In places grain and hay began to show effects of the prolonged drouth, no rain having fallen since the first of the year. However, the heavy rains of December and the first days of the year, which resulted in floods in the lower sections of the county, wet the ground to such an extent that crops were holding out well despite the lack of later moisture. Never was rain more needed in Southern California, and never was it received with greater manifestations of joy. A banner yield of all crops is assured. ANOTHER EXTRA RUN An extra edition of 2000 copies was run off this week, making a total in three weeks of 5550. Orders for extra copies are received to the number of 5750, but the office was unable to furnish 200 of these. The total number of extra copies printed and circulated in three weeks was, in addition to our large regular edition, 5550. HIGH SCHOOL TRUSTEES A meeting of citizens was held at Judge Howard's office on Monday evening for the purpose of placing in nomination candidates for highschool trustees at Friday's election. The meeting decided to name two candidates for Anaheim, two for Loara and one for Magnolia. The following were named: Anaheim: F. C. Spencer, O. Storm. Loara: Eli Sparkes, Archie Henry. Magnolia: S. B. Winters. The election will be held at the highschool on Friday. Polls open from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. In the Santa Ana Register one afternoon last week there appeared a lengthy article, which was furnished by Boss Lissner's typewriters, and taken from the pages of Mr. Hichborn's book, attacking the record of the Hon. P. A. Stanton as well as other members of the legislature in the session of 1909. Mr. Baumgartner, editor of the Register, chief booster for the Lissner push in Orange county, knew when he printed this attack upon Stanton that it placed him in false position—he knew this, or should have known it. Had the Register printed the whole story of Stanton's vote upon every measure brought before the last legislature, no one could offer objection, but to tell part of the story, as in the case of the joint resolution asking congress for the establishment of a line of federal steamers between Panama and points on the Pacific coast, and leave the inference that Stanton opposed the bill, is tantamount to publishing a downright falsehood concerning him. Stanton supported this bill—warmly, enthusiastically, and Mr. Hichborn and Mr. Baumgartner know it, or ought to know it. Mr. Hichborn knows it, but he mendaciously conceals. If Mr. Baumgartner did not know it when he printed the assertion, he should at least have informed himself upon the subject before
