Many of the Knights will be accompanied by their wives. They will travel in a special train over the coast line, and besides being a feature of the encampment, will visit the Big Trees, Napa and other points north. The party will be accompanied by the Pythian band of 35 pieces, which has been formed by massing the Anaheim and Fullerton bands, nearly every member of which is a of the grand chancellor of this domain. For the housing of the troops, accommodations have been secured in what is familiarly known as "The Cottage City." Beds, bedding and bed linen, together with water and lights will be provided free of charge to the Sir Knights. Each cottage will accommodate from two to four persons and assignments thereto and announcement thereof will be made as soon as practicable, upon receipt from regimental commanders of the approximate number of their respective commands who will attend upon the camp. Each officer and Sir Knight must provide himself with the usual necessary toilet articles including soap and towels. Brigade mess has been arranged for with the management of the Casino Grill, at a cost per man of $1 per day for three meals daily. Meal tickets will be issued to each man which will be honored in the main grill at their face value. Where practicable the troops will be mobilized at some central point in regimental formation under command and control of the proper officers, each company occupying a separate car or other vehicle of conveyance, entrain at such location, and maintain said formation during the continuance of the journey to and until arrival at Santa Cruz.

They will travel in a special train over the coast line, and besides being a feature of the encampment, will visit the Big Trees, Napa and other points north. The party will be accompanied by the Pythian band of 35 pieces, which has been formed by massing the Anaheim and Fullerton bands, nearly every member of which is a member of the order. The band has been diligently at practice for some weeks past, and expects to shine with the other big bands at Santa Cruz. Col. J. O. Royer heads the local lodge as Booster-in-Chief for Anaheim. He is after the grand lodge meeting for Anaheim in 1911, and confidently asserts he will succeed. Col. Royer is known as the Man Who Delivers the Goods. One hundred local members of the Uniform Rank are backing him in his efforts to bring the encampment south. He has also warm support from Los Angeles and other points south, as well as from several points in the north.

This camp will be designated and known as Camp E. C. Hart in honor return trip ticket must be purchased within forty-eight hours after the close of the camp, must be used upon the return trip within 48 hours after purchase, and is not good for stop-over privileges; the return trip must be continuous.

Camp routine will be announced and posted upon the opening of the camp and must be strictly observed. As nearly as possible this will be a camp for military instruction, although the social feature will not be ignored. A feature of this encampment will be a night parade on Tuesday, May 17, participated in by various uniformed bodies, notably the Fourth Division of the Naval Militia, Canton of Patrlorchs Militant, Woodmen of the World and others. This camp is for the instruction and pleasure of Sir Knights of the uniform rank only and no one else will be permitted to participate therein.

MAY 5, 1910 STILL WRESTLING WITH THE OVERFLOW MEETING HELD AT LIBRARY BUILDING TUESDAY EVENING Committees Report on Boundary Lines—Chairmen of Committees Instructed to Solicit Funds for Preliminary Survey—All Monies Subscribed to Be Returned to Subscribers from Taxes Collected—Assessed Value of District $12,000,000.00 The Santa Ana river overflow protection meeting, held at the chamber of commerce room Tuesday evening was slimly attended, not more than a dozen persons being present when Chairman Ahlborn called the meeting to order. Messrs. Holt, Knapp, Yorba, and Crawford, who were appointed as committeemen at a previous meeting to define the boundary lines of a protection district, each made a report, but it was deemed advisable to withhold these reports from publication at the present time. On motion of A. A. Mills the chairmen of the various standing committees were instructed to solicit WHITE RIBBONERS MEET Elect New Officers, Hear Musical Program, Enjoy Banquet The ladies of the W.C.T.U. gave a reception to the newly elected officers at Masonic hall on Thursday evening. The committee had arranged for a short program, which was rendered in a pleasing manner, as follows: An instrumental duet by Miss Bertha Imus and Earl Imus. F. Jayne very effectively sang "Oh, My America." Mr. and Mrs. Yoeman favored the company with a duet. Miss Helena Goodale delighted all by rendering a violin solo, accompanied with the piano by Mrs. Goodale. Each number was enchored and each one graciously responded. The program closed by all White Ribboners gathering around the piano while Mrs. Yoeman sang, "There's a Shadow on the Home." They responded by singing, "We Are Coming to the Rescue." The ladies served a delicious lunch after which Mrs. Gervais acting as mistress of ceremonies told those present the object of their coming together and proceeded to introduce their newly elected officers by first introducing the president, Mrs. Yoeman. In responding Mrs. Yoeman gave an outline of the work the union expected to do. BIG SUGAR FACTORY NOW A CERTAINTY ANAHEIM THE LOGICAL SITE FOR THE ENTERPRISE Enthusiastic Meeting—Plant to Cost $850,000 With 600 Tons Capacity—Buena Park and Fullerton Join Hands With Anaheim—Committee of Three to Assist Promoter in the Preliminary Work—Project Assured The call for a public meeting at the city hall on Tuesday evening to discuss the locating of a sugar factory in Anaheim was responded to by a large and enthusiastic assemblage. By 8 o'clock every available chair in the hall was occupied. H. V. Weisel called the meeting to order, stating the purpose of the gathering, and that the subject was open for thorough discussion. H. S. Hadsell, representing eastern capital, outlined as briefly as possible the nature of the proposition to locate the factory here. He stated the plant would cost $850,000 and that it would have a 600 ton capacity. In his opinion Anaheim was the logical site for a sugar factory; the abundant sum Chairman Ahlborn called the meeting to order. Messrs. Holt, Knapp, Yorba, and Crawford, who were appointed as committeemen at a previous meeting to define the boundary lines of a protection district, each made a report, but it was deemed advisable to withhold these reports from publication at the present time. On motion of A. A. Mills the chairmen of the various standing committees were instructed to solicit funds for the purpose of employing a civil engineer to define the precincts of the protection district in accordance with the law. The engineer shall first make a preliminary topographical survey of the inundated territory for the purpose of determining what land should be included in the protection district, and he shall meet with, and make his report to the association at its next meeting at the chamber of commerce room on Tuesday evening, May 17th. District Attorney Davis having recently given his opinion to the effect that money subscribed for preliminary expenses in establishing a protection district was merely loaned by the subscribers and would be returned from a subsequent tax levy, the secretary was instructed to write to Mr. Davis and ascertain if his opinion was in accordance with the law on the subject. Mr. Mills stated that he had recently conferred with Mr. Davis relative to this matter and that the attorney had informed him that all money advanced for this cause would eventually be returned to the subscribers. The assessed valuation of the proposed district is about twelve million dollars, therefore the assessment will be an insignificant item. There will be another meeting on Tuesday evening, May 17. CENSUS MAN'S BIG JOB Ten Days' Extension Granted Local Enumerator Max Nebelung on Tuesday finished taking the census of the north half of the city, and he plunged into the forests of the southern half, hitting high places, in a race against time. In fact Nebelung has struck the toughest job ever tackled, and he thinks if he survives the ordeal Uncle Sam will have to look for another enumerator next trip. Two weeks ago seeing that he could not possibly finish the work by the 15th of this Mrs. Yoeman sang, "There's a Shadow on the Home." They responded by singing, "We Are Coming to the Rescue." The ladies served a delicious lunch after which Mrs. Gervais acting as mistress of ceremonies told those present the object of their coming together and proceeded to introduce their newly elected officers by first introducing the president, Mrs. Yoeman. In responding Mrs. Yoeman gave an outline of the work the union expected to do the coming year. Mrs. Foster, vice president, was introduced and said that if we had a good president there was very little for the vice president to do. Mrs. A. A. Mills, secretary, was introduced. She said that it was her business to write, and not to talk, therefore she had nothing to say. Mrs. L. A. Evans was introduced as treasurer of the union. Mrs. Evans said there was no use introducing her, as she was well known. Rev. Miller was called upon to speak for the honorary members. In a few well chosen words he told of his admiration for the W.C.T.U., remarking that when the ladies set out to do something they usually succeeded. Mr. Yoeman was introduced. He said he had been associated with the W.C.T.U. for twenty years and knew nothing but good of them. REPUBLICANS FAR IN LEAD Three to One Registration as Compared With Democrats Indications point to a republican landslide in Orange county this year. County Clerk Williams and Deputy Williamson, who has charge of the registration books, have made footings by precincts showing the statistics of the registration by parties, and this is the showing: Republicans 3062, democrats 1030, prohibitionists 163, socialists 98, independent 8, decline to state, 226. Most of the precincts of the county have been registering quite heavily. The report shows but a very light registration at San Juan Capistrano. The reason for that is that the books have not yet been returned to the clerk's office. The registration there is largely republican. The total as it stands now is overwhelmingly republican. The democrats say that there has as yet been no effort on their part to get their voters registered, and that in part is responsible for the proportion. A comparison of the total registra- In reply to the question as to whether there would be any disagreeable smell arising from the operating of a sugar plant so near town; Mr. Hadsell said the pulp-drying process now in vogue for grinding the pulp into stock feed, eliminated that feature altogether. The other source of stench, caused by stagnant water, was also done away with by the use of the water for irrigating purposes. During the discussion many questions were asked Mr. Hadsell and all were answered by him in a frank and straightforward manner. Following the remarks of several enthusiastic remarks on the subject, Judge Howard moved, that it be the sense of the meeting that Anaheim wanted the factory; and the same was carried by a unanimous vote. Mr. Hadsell asked that a committee of three be appointed to help him secure local subscriptions, saying that as sixty days was a very limited time, a good live, wideawake committee could be of much assistance in the way of showing prospective subscribers that Anaheim had faith in the proposition to build a factory Enumerator Max Nebelung on Tuesday finished taking the census of the north half of the city, and he plunged into the forests of the southern half, hitting the high places, in a race against time. In fact Nebelung has struck the toughest job he ever tackled, and he thinks if he survives the ordeal Uncle Sam will have to look for another enumerator next trip. Two weeks ago seeing that he could not possibly finish the work by the 15th of this month, he wired the supervisor for help. That urbane official replied that instead of appointing an assistant he would allow the enumerator an additional ten days' time, if necessary. This places the limit at the 25th of the month, and Nebelung thinks he can complete the job in that time. The enumerator is debarred from giving out any information regarding the census, and to all inquiries he turns a deaf ear. Citizens who attempt to buttonhole him and proound quiries regarding the work are only delaying the band wagon, and the enumerator politely requests that they come off the perch. He is on oath not to reveal this information, and is likewise under heavy penalty to maintain all information regarding the census in confidence. HIS PULL Does that 'ere thin, stoop-shouldered, dyspeptic-looking' drummer that you bought so much from today sell any better or cheaper goods than the fat one ye terned down so hard yesterday? Inquired Hi Spry. D' know as he does, confessed the Squam Corners merchant, but his doctrines on the criminal capacity of the trusts are a hull site sounder. The report shows but a very light registration at San Juan Capistrano. The reason for that is that the books have not yet been returned to the clerk's office. The registration there is largely republican. The total as it stands now is overwhelmingly republican. The democrats say that there has as yet been no effort on their part to get their voters registered, and that in part is responsible for the proportion. A comparison of the total registration with the votes cast for the presidential nominees in 1908 shows that the republican registration is within 200 of the Taft vote. The democrats are short 871, the socialists 277 and the prohibitionists 388. The 1908 vote in Orange county stood: Taft 3244, Bryan 1911, Debs 375, Chafin 451. SAYS BRIDGE IS UNSAFE County Surveyor C. R. Schenck, who was commissioned by the board of supervisors to examine and report upon the condition of the Chapman street bridge on the road between Orange and Anaheim, has just filed his report with the county clerk for presentation to the supervisors. The report shows that the bridge is in unsafe condition, and needs immediate attention. The report says the footings of all the trusses are crushing and are not safe, the piers are too close together to give the necessary strength to the structure, the spliced timbers were never sufficient and are now decayed, the piers are wooden plining and are decaying and the trusses are out of line and are liable to fall over on the bridge at any time. The summing up of the county surveyor's report is that the bridge is unsafe and in need of repair. Mr. Hadsell asked that a committee of three be appointed to help him secure local subscriptions, saying that as sixty days was a very limited time, a good live, wideawake committee could be of much assistance in the way of showing prospective subscribers that Anaheim had faith in the proposition to build a factory here. The chairman and Mr. Hadsell will consult and appoint a committee to act with the promoter. In his talks Mr. Hadsell emphasized that, in view of the fact, that Fullerton and Buena Park were also after the factory, and whereas nearly one-half of all the necessary acreage was near Buena Park, it be the sense of the meeting to show these two neighboring towns the good will of this community for their welfare and the benefits of a factory located here. Judge Howard in answer to the latter remark stated that a committee from Buena Park and Fullerton had been here to discuss the sugar factory deal and had assured all of their hearty support to all pull together for northern Orange county, should Anaheim be selected as the factory site. (Loud applause.) And Mr. Hadsell's face was wreathed in smiles. An option on 40 acres just north of and bordering on the city limits, has been secured for the new enterprise. The summary of last night's public spirited meeting is: Anaheim wants the factory; the sugar capitalists want Anaheim for their factory, and that Anaheim shall have the factory. FACTORY. W A CERTAINTY LOGICAL SITE ENTERPRISE Meeting—Plant to Cost 600 Tons Capacity and Fullerton Join Anaheim—Committee Assist Promoter in the Work—Project Assured A public meeting at Tuesday evening to testing of a sugar facility was responded to by enthusiastic assemblage. Very available chair in occupied. Called the meeting to the purpose of the subject was a discussion. Representing eastern as briefly as possible the proposition to locate here. He stated the $850,000 and that it ton capacity. In his was the logical site; the abundant sun. COMMISSION AT WORK Appoints Secretary and Engineer for Good Roads System The Orange county highway commission met on Thursday at Santa Ana and appointed R. T. Harris, years ago sheriff of Orange county, as secretary of the commission, and Dan Halladay of Los Angeles, son of M. D. Halladay of Santa Ana, as engineer to make surveys and prepare specifications for a system of highways in this county. It is understood Halladay will not come until the tangled state of affairs in the Los Angeles good-roads commission is unraveled. Charges are freely made that a colossal political job has been revealed in the good-roads propaganda in the neighboring county, and resignations of the commission are demanded. Only three miles of roads have been built in that county since the bonds were sold two years, and $300,000 expended. The highway commission is freely charged with incompetency and neglect of duty. Taxpayers in the northern portion of Orange county will insist that an adequate mileage of roads be projected in this section before favoring the contemplated million dollar bond issue. Men who earlier in the year favored the bonds, now declare the Third supervisor district, which pays PAVING BONDS CARRY NEARLY 4 TO 1 LIGHT VOTE POLLED, PEOPLE FAVOR IMPROVEMENTS West Center Street to Be Paved as far as Adams Street—Property Owners on Walnut Street.

The bonds received 198 votes, and 56 votes were polled against the issue. Two ballots were thrown out, as being improperly marked. A two-thirds majority was necessary, an vote was nearly 4 to 1 in favor of the improvements. Paving will extend from Lemon St. to Adams, a distance of a mile.

The highway commission is freely charged with incompetency and neglect of duty. Taxpayers in the northern portion of Orange county will insist that an adequate mileage of roads be projected in this section before favoring the contemplated million dollar bond issue. Men who earlier in the year favored the bonds, now declare the Third supervisor district, which pays more than a third of the taxes in Orange county, and polls more than a third of the vote, must be taken care of in the contemplated system of highways. The resignation of Mr. Chapman as one of the highway commissioners threw a chill over the enthusiasm of the northerners. They hold the new commissioner, Judge Richard Egan of San Juan, in high esteem, but freely state that the importance of the northern end of the county should have representation upon the commission. Halladay will receive a salary of $250 per month. The charges against the Los Angeles highway commission are that delays in roadbuilding after $1,050,000 road bonds were sold cost the county $60,000 in interest paid on the bonds; that the bonds were voted July 30, 1908, and $1,050,000 were sold the following October, yet after two years the only completed highway is two and one-half miles on El Monte road, and that is already disintegrating that the Prospect avenue road, built by the commission by day labor, was botched because of imperfect supervision; that although the statement was made at the bond election adequate rock supplies could be obtained, none had been secured, and even now there is a lack of rock supply, and the highway commission is not prepared to build roads economically. The advisory committee finds the lack of rock supply is causing the commission to bring rock from distant points and 176,000 tons have beer purchased, which will cost $29,000 more than if it had been purchased at the county quarry at San Dimas, which has been leased to private parties; that the failure to provide a rock supply has resulted in excessive bids and loss to contractors; that the mismanagement on only three pieces of road work—the Pomona, Whittler, and Washington street roads, has cost the county $53,263 more than the amount similar work is being done for in Pasadena; that sixty-five miles of the street and in front of the municipal power plant on South Los Angeles street. The bonds received 198 votes, and 56 votes were polled against the issue. Two ballots were thrown out, as being improperly marked. A two-thirds majority was necessary, an the vote was nearly 4 to 1 in favor of the improvements. Paving will extend from Lemon St. to Adams, a distance of a mile. Property owners on Walnut street, running from West Center to the south-western city limits, also favor paving, and probably the work will be taken up in the near future. Center street has been paved from Lemon street to Orange street, and Los Angeles from Santa Ana to Sycamore. Claudina and Hermine streets will also be paved. Work will probably begin in the near future. PARENT-TEACHERS ELECT Program of Exercises by School Children—New Officers The regular meeting of the parent-teachers association was held at the high school on Tuesday afternoon, when a large attendance was present.

Bailey, a pioneer resident of Santa Ana, was found dead on the steps of his office at about 11 o'clock on Friday night. He went to the post office at 8 o'clock, and was seen going home at about 9. His daughter, Miss Kassa Bailey, returned from the theatre about 11 o'clock, and entering by the residence door, the office occupying a part of the house, she found her father's hat in the house, but her father was not in any room. Mrs. Bailey and her daughter began a search, and on turning on the porch light of the office, the doctor was found on the steps, dead. He suffered from heart trouble, and it is believed that he had an attack on arriving home and went to the porch for fresh air. He was a native of Canada, 65 years old, and came to Santa Ana in 1876.
