HEIM GAZE ANAHEIM, CALIFORNIA, THURSDAY. AUGUST 18, 1910 SALOON LICENSES REFUSED BY BOARD TWO APPLICATIONS TURNED DOWN BY CITY TRUSTEES New Hotel Practically Certain, According to Mr. Melrose—The Board and Joseph Backs Finally Agree—Fairchilds-Wilton-Gilmore Company Granted Further Contracts — Gates Wants to Put City Out of Electrical Supply Business—Permits The city trustees on Thursday evening wrestled long and earnestly over a motion by Gates to the effect that the municipality discontinue the business of furnishing electrical supplies and appliances to customers. Mr. Gates considered it unjust for the city to collect license from private dealers in such wares and then sell the same in competition with them. Moreover, he said, the finance committee was continually called upon to O. K. bills for supplies and electrical apparatus the value of ly consideration asked being the refunding to her of the cost of recent paving in front of the strip on Los Angeles street — about $45. Mr. Backs agrees to donate a nine-foot strip provided the city will purchase a $700 lot in the Deutsch tract, west of Lemon street, and move his house thereon. Both propositions were accepted and Trustee Nebelung was appointed a committee of one to negotiate with Mr. Deutsch and consummate the deal: This practically settles the vexed question of the Backs claim. B. V. Beebe was granted permission to move a small barn onto the rear of the Zeus property on West Center street. Five building permits were granted as follows: To Mrs. A. C. Burns, frame dwelling on Kroeger street; cost $1500. To John Resh, frame dwelling on East street; cost $4600. To Fred Dittman, an addition to dwelling on East Center street; cost $300. To J. W. Walls, frame dwelling on Olive street; cost $900. To Richard Melrose, frame addition to his residence on Hedwig St.; cost $250. TOBACCO GROWING IN SOUTHLAND COMPANY AT YORBA PLANTS A TRACT OF EIGHTY ACRES Climatic Conditions and Soil Ideal for Cultivation of Crop—Has Characteristics of the Most Famous Tobacco Growing Centers In the World — Great Profit and Growing Market—Will Result in Tremendous Boom At Yorba eighty acres of a most promising crop of tobacco is being cultivated by Erwin Bayha and others in company. The plants stand two feet high, and are pronounced by experts to be of an exceptionally superior quality. This is the first attempt at tobacco growing on a large scale in Southern California, and has the outlook of becoming a very profitable industry. "Southern California will become one of the great tobacco-producing sections of the nation." This prediction is made by J. W. ening wrestled long and earnestly over a motion by Gates to the effect that the municipality discontinue the business of furnishing electrical supplies and appliances to customers. Mr. Gates considered it unjust for the city to collect license from private dealers in such wares and then sell the same in competition with them. Moreover, he said, the finance committee was continually called upon to O. K. bills for supplies and electrical apparatus the value of which it had no practical knowledge. Therefore he objected and moved that the city carry the wires to the building only henceforth, and allow the consumer to secure his inside wiring and fixtures from a private dealer. City Engineer Lewis objected to the proposition. He said the city's object in selling supplies was to extend the service, secure more customers, and thus sell more current. A great many houses had recently been connected which would not have been had the owners been compelled to pay the price demanded by dealers where there was no competition. Besides the custom of exchanging new lamps for wornout ones was of much benefit to the city, as the customers would exchange promptly when they could do so without additional cost. After discussing the matter for nearly an hour the board decided that more light was needed on the subject and laid it over. Applications for two new retail liquor licenses were read by the clerk—the first by Fred Dyckmann and Stephen Cottle, and the second by Levi Mann. It appeared to be the opinion of a majority of the board that, as there are already six saloons running on full time in Anaheim, and pretty generally distributed throughout the business portion of the city, a man, though he hail from Santa Ana or Orange, need not grow unduly thirsty in traveling from one emporium to the next. Besides, by an ancient law or ordinance, the city is limited to seven saloons, and the seventh license is being held up for a hotel. City Attorney Melrose informed the board that he had lately been in communication with Messrs. Royer and Christopher, who contemplate the erection of a first-class hotel at the corner of Emily and Center streets, and the building was practically assured. A bar would, naturally, be one of the adjuncts of the hotel, and if the license list was exhausted the hotel project might be CHINK GAMBLERS RAIDED Fan Tan Players Rounded Up By City Officials Five Chinese fan tan players were gathered into the meshes of the law at 10 o'clock on Saturday evening by Marshal Simpson and a posse consisting of Officers Kellenberger Tausch and Chambers. The men were surprised at the game in Sam Lee's gambling den. They were engaged at fan tan, and $36 in money was found on the table. This was confiscated, and turned over to Justice Howard. The celestials were taken to court where they were released on depositing $10 bail for their appearance on Monday morning. Ah Moon was the only Chinese who appeared in court at the appointed time. He plead guilty and was fined $10. The others failed to put in an appearance, and forfeited their bail. For some time past Sam Lee has been known as a keeper of a gambling resort in Chinatown. The officers raided the place on Saturday evening, catching five of the heathen at their game. FRANK E. UPHAM DEAD The funeral of Frank E. Upham, who died Saturday morning in the Santa Ana hospital, was held at 10 o'clock Monday morning from the I. as follows: To Mrs. A. C. Burns, frame dwelling on Kroeger street; cost $1500. To John Resh, frame dwelling on East street; cost $4600. To Fred Dittman, an addition to dwelling on East Center street; cost $300. To J. W. Walls, frame dwelling on Olive street; cost $900. To Richard Melrose, frame addition to his residence on Hedwig St.; cost $250. To G. W. Shell, corrugated iron shed and roof on Center street. Recorder J. S. Howard reported 9 cases in his court since the previous report. The fines collected aggregated $62, of which $35 was turned into the treasury, the balance being retained as recorder's fees. The judge also applied for a two-weeks' leave of absence, beginning Aug. 15, which was granted. Malefactors will have an unpleasant time during the next two weeks, as Marshal Simpson pledged himself to keep all persons charged with small crimes and misdemeanors corked up in his stone jug until the Judge returns and releases them. The great profit in the cultivation of tobacco, the growing market for the domestic product since its increase in the tariff and the superior condition of the lands in this State for this industry, he believes, will result in a tremendous boom in the cultivation of tobacco within two years. In the spread of the tobacco districts in the United States, which now embrace Wisconsin in the north and Florida in the south, California has been overlooked, but, says the Eastern authority, the big interests in the tobacco business are awakening to the advantage of this State. Those who have come to this state have been drawn primarily by the opportunities to raise fruit and gain the benefit of the marvelous climate, and, he says, have entirely ignored the establishing of an industry that now ranks as one of the greatest in the nation. "Until I came to California this time," said Mr. Landstreet, "I regarded California as a wonderful State from a standpoint unrelated to my business. As I came through the district around Santa Barbara the soil struck me forcibly as being exactly the same as that in the famous Abaja district in Cuba, where the choicest tobacco in the world is grown. I enquired into the maximum and min- limited to seven saloons, and the seventh license is being held up for a hotel. City Attorney Melrose informed the board that he had lately been in communication with Messrs. Reyer and Christopher, who contemplate the erection of a first-class hotel at the corner of Emily and Center streets, and the building was practically assured. A bar would, naturally, be one of the adjuncts of the hotel, and if the license list was exhausted the hotel project might be defeated. A vote on the Cottle-Dyckmann application resulted as follows: Yes—Becker and Stock. Noes—Rust, Gates and Nebelung. The application of Levi Mann was then tabled without action. For the further paving of five or six street intersections on West Center street the bid of the Fairchilds-Gilmore-Wilton Co. was the only one presented. That company was awarded the contract at the former price of 12 cents per square foot. Inasmuch as Louis Edson who, at a previous session was granted a contract for hauling away the street-sweepings from the paved streets, failed to pay in advance the price agreed upon, his contract was abrogated and the bid of J. B. Andrews accepted. Forty dollars per year was the sum offered, and he agrees to do the hauling on Tuesdays, Thursdays and Saturdays of each week. The application of Joseph Lieb, one of the power house employees, for an increase of salary from $40 to $50 per month, was held up pending an investigation of the justice of his demand. Communications were received from Joseph Backs and Mrs. Mitchell relative to the opening of the much discussed alley between Los Angeles and Lemon streets. Mrs. Mitchell agrees to convey to the city a nine-foot strip from the rear of her property, the on- FRANK E. UPHAM DEAD The funeral of Frank E. Upham, who died Saturday morning in the Santa Ana hospital, was held at 10 o'clock Monday morning from the I.O.O.F. hall in Orange, Rev. W. A. Jackson officiating. The funeral arrangements were in charge of the Odd Fellows, who attended in a body and held their ritualistic service over the remains. A quartet composed of Mrs. L. B. Gitchell, Miss Carrie Bowen, C. L. Conway and Rev. W. A. Jackson, with Miss Agnes Ensign as accompanist, sang "Jesus, Lover of My Soul," and "Jesus, Savior, Pilot Me." A short sermon was delivered by Rev. Jackson. The burial took place in the Santa Ana cemetery. Deceased was 75 years of age on the 24th of last January, and had beer a member of the I.O.O.F. for 38 years. He was formerly a resident of Iowa, and also held the office of postmaster at Olive for a number of years, relinquishing that position some years since. About a year ago he was brought to Anaheim on account of ill health, and had since resided there, in the care of the Odd Fellows, until taken seriously ill a week ago, when he was removed to the Santa Ana hospital, where death occurred. There are no blood relatives living, but two sister-in-laws reside in Orange. Some people are like cyclones — they begin nowhere and get nowhere, but are in a blamed hurry to get there. Until I came to California this time," said Mr. Landstreet, "I regarded California as a wonderful State from a standpoint unrelated to my business. As I came through the district around Santa Barbara the soil struck me forcibly as being exactly the same as that in the famous Abaja district in Cuba, where the choicest tobacco in the world is grown. I enquired into the maximum and minimum climate and found that it was excellent for the maturing of the tobacco plant. After that I watched closely throughout the state, and have had reports from the Imperial Valley. In Wisconsin it is much colder than here, in Florida much hotter, and tobacco has recently been introduced into each of these states. Tobacco needs cool nights. In the most fertile of Porto Rican and Cuban fields, I have always had to sleep under a blanket at night, and a similar condition prevails here. I have made no careful analysis of the soil, but from what I can learn from those informed on the subject, I can see no drawback whatever to tobacco growing in this country, and I assure you that once this industry gets a start, you will witness one of the most marvelous booms that any section has ever known. "I believe that California should become the great producing center for tobacco from which cigar-wrappers are made. This product is now imported from Sumatra, and commands $4 a pound. Thousands of pounds are produced to the acre, and one can readily calculate how profitable such a crop should be. "When the tobacco concerns in the east which manufacture cigars fully realize what California is capable of producing in this product, I believe they will at once promote plantations..."

"My idea is new out here, I know, but if the land owners realized as keenly as I do what profits there wer in the tobacco industry awaiting the planter, this State would receive an other great industry among its assets, and add to its marvelous catalogue of products an industry that is destined to grow bigger every year. "The tobacco industry is in a more healthy condition now than for years, and for that reason if no other, the time is ripe when California should be included in the producing centers. A crop that will yield products worth from $300 to $500 an acre is a worthy competitor of fruit, and if the growing of tobacco is introduced here, land values must be stimulated. I can see great things for this State in tobacco growing." KILLED BY OVERLAND Mrs. D. H. Holder of Iramosa, mother of Levi Mann of this city, was killed by the Sunset Limited on the Southern Pacific Monday morning at Ontario, while attempting to cross the tracks. The accident took place just after 6 o'clock, as she was on her way to work at the Golden State LOCAL LIVE WIRES OF WEEK'S EVENTS NATURALIZED CHINAMAN KILL-ED BY SANTA FE TRAIN Walks Along Path Outside Ties, and Is Struck on Head and Skull Crushed — Candidates for Citizenships Knew Their Catechism— Chinese Gamblers Raided—Notes of Interest Wong Owen, a naturalized Chinese, aged about 52 years, engaged in vegetable farming on South street, was struck on the head by the engine of the north bound Santa Fe passenger train on Sunday evening and instantly killed. His skull was crushed and the body thrown ten feet from the track. He was walking northerly along the path which runs outside the ties on the west side of the track. The engineer blew his whistle for the crossing and the automatic engine bell rang continually. The accident occurred at the Broadway crossing. Richard T. Warner, engineer of KILLED BY OVERLAND Mrs. D. H. Holder of Iramosa, mother of Levi Mann of this city, was killed by the Sunset Limited on the Southern Pacific Monday morning at Ontario, while attempting to cross the tracks. The accident took place just after 6 o'clock, as she was on her way to work at the Golden State Canning company. A woman by the name of Mrs. Ford was walking along with her. Mrs. Holder had for several days been suffering with a severe cold and could not hear well. Mrs. Ford says she believes Mrs. Holder saw the train approaching but believed she had time enough to safely gain the other side. Mrs. Ford called out to her warning her not to try it, but evidently was not heard. A dense fog aided in deceiving Mrs. Holder in regard to the rapid approach of the train. The pilot of the engine lifted her clear of the rails, cutting her head badly and breaking the left leg three times, twice below the knee and once at the thigh. An inquest was held. The verdict was accidental death with no blame attached to the train crew. Mrs. Holder was 57 years of age. Her husband, D. H. Holder, is a rancher, living several miles from Ontario. He said that his wife had been working at the cannery of her own wish in order to help him to more rapidly pay for property they recently purchased in Florida. As soon as it was paid for they planned to remove there to make their home. Funeral services and interment occurred on Tuesday. ENFORCING HEALTH LAWS State Officials Engaged In Attempt to Stamp Out Typhoid Fever Owing to the number of requests from town health authorities for assistance in stamping out typhoid fever epidemics and for advice on problems of sewage disposal, the State Board of Health is inaugurating a division of field work which is to be put in the hands of an engineer inspector. When the assistance of the State Board of Health is asked in cases of typhoid fever epidemics the engineer inspector will be sent to aid the town or county health officers to determine the source of infection and help stamp out the outbreak. When struck on the head by the engine of the north bound Santa Fe passenger train on Sunday evening and instantly killed. His skull was crushed and the body thrown ten feet from the track. He was walking northerly along the path which runs outside the ties on the west side of the track. The engineer blew his whistle for the crossing and the automatic engine bell rang continually. The accident occurred at the Broadway crossing. Richard T. Warner, engineer of the train, testified at the inquest held by Coroner Smith at Backs & Terry's undertaking rooms on Tuesday, that he was surprised when his fireman informed him the train had struck a man. He had seen the man when some distance away, and thought he was far enough outside the track to clear the engine. He ran the train to the depot and later returned and found the body lying in the road. The body was taken to the depot and turned over to the agent. Fred Harris, the fireman, and Conductor C. W. Fragier also gave testimony similar to that of the engineer. George Bauer, Jr., was going home along Broadway at the time of the accident. He saw the Chinese walking near the track and saw him hit by the engine. He ran up and found the man's skull crushed. George Wong testified that deceased was his uncle, and had a wife living in China. He owned a growing crop of vegetables on South street, also a wagon and team of horses. The jury was composed of Joseph Backs, Henry Westerman, Dick Nemetz, John Chambers, J. J. Dwyer and John Hilters. A verdict was rendered in accordance with the facts here stated, and the trainmen were exonerated from blame.

The first passed safely over the shoals of national, state and judicial politics, and arrived with flying colors at the gates of municipal government. "Who," asked the examiner, "is the chief official of a city? Who, for instance, is the biggest man in Anaheim?" "Why, Richard Melrose," replied the applicant, and he was passed through without further questioning. The second Anaheimer made a brilliant coup at the very beginning of his examination. "Is it possible," asked the judge, "to elect a president of the United States without the people taking part in the election?" "Sure," answered the would-be citizen, confidently. "How would you do it?" "I don't know how it is done," was the reply, "but the republicans can do it." CARD FROM ASSESSOR SCOTT To my Friends in Orange County: I want to express my sincere thanks to everyone who worked for my interest before and at the primaries, and to every man who cast his vote for my nomination. I hope the people will continue to investigate the records of the office, and I assure you I appreciate this vindication fully as much as the nomination. Again thanking you, I am, sincerely yours, W. M. SCOTT.
