MILLS ON GOOD ROADS Northern Precincts of County a Unit for Improvements The committee on good roads met with the committee from the different parts of the county on Monday evening and after a general discussion joined with the committee in the north end of the county and asked the highway commission for the following roads north and west of the Santa Ana river as far south as Garden Grove: From the Los Angeles county line in La Habra valley to Fullerton city limits; the Pomona road in Brea canyon from Los Angeles countyline to Fullerton; from Olinda via Placentia, connecting on Chapman avenue and also Orangethorpe avenue, with Fullerton and south on the Placentia road to Anaheim via East Center street; from south side of the Yorba bridge via Yorba bridge, Yorba, Yorba Linda, Richfield and Placentia to Fullerton and Anaheim; the Olinda-Placentia road at Bradford's corner south to the new Placentia station; from Olive to Anaheim; from Orange to Anaheim; from Garden Grove to Anaheim; from the county line on the Anaheim road to Long Beach via Los Alamitos and Cypress to Anaheim; from the county line at Northam via Northam and Buena Park and directly south to county road coming into Anaheim from Cypress; from Buena Park via Orangethorpe avenue to Fullerton; from Anaheim to Fullerton; from Fullerton on the Garden Grove road to Garden Grove. This constitutes about 53 miles. The highway commission was informed that the north end of the county The highway commission was informed that the north end of the county was a unit in asking that these highways be improved, there being no disagreements whatever; that the section of the county covered by these roads contained more than a third of the votes and paid more than a third of the taxes of the county. The commission was asked to have the bonds made enough so that when properly proportioned the section included should pay for the roads as it was not the intention to ask for any amount not named in this section. The highway commission was asked if there were a limit on the bonds that could be voted for the improvements of the highways and the commission replied that the district attorney had informed them that there was no limit. This was questioned, and a personal appeal made to the district attorney. His reply follows: Santa Ana, August 18, 1910. A. A. Mills, Anaheim, Cal. Dear Sir: You ask me the following question: "Is there a limit to the amount of bonds that can legally be voted for improving highways." Sec. 4088 of the Pol. Code provides—"Any county having an outstanding indebtedness, evidenced by bonds or warrants thereof, may refund such indebtedness and issue bonds of the county therefor, and any county may incur or refund a bonded indebtedness for any purposes for which the board of supervisors are herein authorized to expend the funds of said county, or for the purpose of building or constructing roads, bridges or highways. . . provided, that the total amount of bonded indebtedness shall at no time exceed five percent of the taxable property of the county, as shown by the last equalized assessment book thereof." I believe that this answers your inquiry. Respectfully yours, S. M. Davis, Dist.-Atty. DEMOCRATS NAME VEGELY Unterrified Will Go Into Field With Judge P. S. Howard, Anaheim, Cal. I began my efforts to locate a sugar factory at Anaheim more than one year ago, when Mr. H. S. Hadsall called on me and said he was seeking a good location for a plant. I have been active as a member of the committee appointed at a public meeting of the citizens of Anaheim, and believe I am thoroughly posted on the details of the organization of the Anaheim Sugar Company. The committee very carefully investigated both the men largely interested as well as the business itself. I know that this is a fine location for a factory. That plenty of beets can be secured and that the affairs of the company are in the hands of competent and able men, and I believe Anaheim will have one of the best and most modern sugar factories in the United States. J. W. Duckworth, Postmaster, Anaheim: I know that the Anaheim Sugar Company has as local directors three of the best men in this county, Mr. Richard Melrose, Wm. McLauchlin and C. Otto Rust. They are well known as good successful businessmen and I believe no better men could have been selected. The sugar factory will be a great benefit to this community from a financial standpoint, as the large amount of money paid for labor and material will find its way into business channels and what helps one helps all. There are thousands of acres of beets grown that can come to this factory over the S. P. railway and A. T. & S. F. and also thousands of acres of good beet land not now growing beets that will produce beets profitably. I understand the factory will be increased from 600 tons capacity to 1200 tons next year and I have no doubt but ample beet acreage will be secured. H. S. Hadsall, Manager for Anaheim Sugar Co., Anaheim, Cal.: To the uninitiated it would look as if matters were progressing slowly with this company. While the facts show absolutely the contrary. Practically during the past sixty days, the factory site has been purchased and surveyed, plans and drawings for the buildings have been prepared, arrangements have been completed for the building of the spur tracks from the S. P. and Santa Fe railways from their lines to the factory site, bids are being received from contractors for the construction of the buildings and sinking the wells, acreage contracts for growing of sugar beets have been signed up for nearly 3000 miles via Los Alamitos and Cypress to Anaheim; from the county line at Northam via Northam and Buena Park and directly south to county road coming into Anaheim from Cypress; from Buena Park via Orange-thorpe avenue to Fullerton; from Anaheim to Fullerton; from Fullerton on the Garden Grove road to Garden Grove.

DEMOCRATS NAME VEGELY Unterrified Will Go Into Field With Full Ticket As was generally anticipated, the democrats named a full ticket for county offices at the primaries. The surprise of the campaign is the nomination by them of Frank Vegely for assessor. Vegely was defeated for the republican nomination by W. M. Scott, running third in a three-cornered contest. The democratic ticket as at present made up is as follows: H. C. Head for district attorney, Theo. Lacy for sheriff, Ed Tedford for auditor, B. F. Beswick for school superintendent, J. C. Joplin for treasurer and Dr. H. E. W. Barnes for coroner and public administrator were avowed candidates before the primaries. No other candidates appeared. The returns show that 78 votes were cast for S. H. Finley for assemblyman, 7 for Finley for surveyor and 6 for Tarver Montgomery for tax collector. W. B. Williams and G. E. Peters, republican nominees for clerk and recorder, have the democratic nominations for those offices. A revised count on the vote in this county for congressman shows S. C. Smith 1645 and L. R. Kirby 1152. Union Brewing Company is selling bottled beer at 90 cents per dozen. during the past sixty days, the factory site has been purchased and surveyed, plans and drawings for the buildings have been prepared, arrangements have been completed for the building of the spur tracks from the S. P. and Santa Fe railways from their lines to the factory site, bids are being received from contractors for the construction of the buildings and sinking the wells, acreage contracts for growing of sugar beets have been signed up for nearly 3000 acres. The contract for disposal of waste water from the factory has been entered into with the Anaheim Union water company. The corporation has been legally organized and offices furnished, and a thousand and one details necessary in the installation of a business of this magnitude have been attended to. There is absolutely nothing left undone that should be done. While the actual construction of the buildings will not begin for the next fifteen or twenty days, yet all these important matters had to be attended to in advance and have been attended to so that chances for delays on account of not being ready to start the buildings and pushing the complete installation of the plant to a finish have been eliminated. If a man decides to build a cottage on his lot he can simply order his lumber and hardware and the carpenters can begin work in a day. The many things necessary to arrange before the actual construction of buildings of a large sugar factory cannot be done in a day, but it takes months. We shall have a strictly modern plant and it will be finished in ample time for the campaign of 1911. O. H.

Not many people would make the journey for no other purpose. The one who would and did arrived a few days ago at the Angelus, and left the following evening on the Owl for San Francisco, to sail as soon as possible for his home in Maui. L. von Tempsky, one of the biggest cattle raisers in the islands, and whose ranch is at Haleakla, is the man—a bluff, hearty individual, in an English tourist's suit and cap.

Cut carefully into sections to represent the petals of the poinsettia, leaving the sections joined at the bottom of the tomato. In the centers of the tomatoes place one of the little bunches of blossoms taken from a head of cooked cauliflower. Arrange the whole on lettuce leaves on individual plates and serve accompanied by French dressing. This salad might also be used to carry out other red and green color schemes.

Tomorrow will be here with its difficulties, possibly sickness THE CLOSING DAYS Of a Successful Campaign—The New Building Company Begins Operations Early in September A new era of building will begin for Orange county when the new corporation to be organized early in September begins operations. The pleasing part of the whole thing is that the new company begins its work with plenty of money in the treasury and that this money having been furnished by Orange county residents will be expended in Orange county for its betterment and to aid in beautifying its various communities. The campaign inaugurated early in June will have been brought to a successful conclusion not much later than September 1st, with all the stock set aside for subscription prior to incorporation, taken up at the prices announced at the beginning. If the various towns of the county duplicate their building records of last year during the coming year there is to be at least 500 dwellings erected between Sept. 1, 1910, and Sept. 1, 1911, and it is more than probable that this will be increased to 600 or 700. With the new organization and the capital at command the new company will be in a position to handle from 100 to 200 of these buildings. With the experience gained last year under the work of the Home Investment Co. of Anaheim whose business the new company will take over and extend, there can be no question but that the returns to the investor will be greater than they were during the past year. Inasmuch as earnings last year under the Home Investment Co. regime were at the rate of over 12 per cent it looks very much as though the stockholders in the new company would reap a rich harvest in the way of large dividends during all the coming years. It looks now as though Santa Ana would secure the headquarters offices of the company unless there is a change in the standing of the various towns during the coming week or two, for the county seat has supported the enterprise even better than the other towns, although they have all done their full share. Even should the headquarters offices be moved to Santa Ana we are assured that Ana- L. von Tempsky, one of the biggest cattle raisers in the islands, and whose ranch is at Haleakla, is the man—a bluff, hearty individual, in an English tourist's suit and cap. No white collar decorated the neck or set off the deeply burned face of the traveler. A soft collar of cream color and pink stripe, bordered by the edges of a heavily-tied maroon four-in-hand, seemed just the thing for him. "My business isn't any of your business," he remarked, with a twinkle in his blue eye, which rested beneath a heavy gray fringe of eyelash. "No, I'm not one of those sugar dealers or fruit canners. I'm just a cowpuncher, every-day cattle chaser," he replied. "I came over to get a saddle," he continued, in answer to a question. "You see, cur horses have roachbacks—you call them swaybacks over here—and the ordinary American saddle fits them at both ends, just like putting a pole from one bank to another of a ditch." Surprise was expressed that he came all the way to Los Angeles just for a saddle. "No, I came to get several saddles of the same kind, if you must know. Feel better now? I've been doing business with one firm in your city for a good many years, and so here I am, and, by the way, here I go. Got to catch the Owl in half an hour. Good-by." The traveler's father was a soldier of fortune, Count von Tempsky of Poland, who, after the downfall of his own country, fought under many flags and was finally killed in an engagement with the Maoris. It was in that country that the son was born. His mother was an English woman of gentle blood. The son inheriting the spirit of his father, has wandered over the face of the earth for many years. In his journeys he arrived in Hawaii and finally landed on Maui.Here he acquired one of the largest single land areas of the island and proceeded to raise cattle. He has been raising cattle for years, and, as a result, is reputed to be very wealthy. UNCLAIMED LETTERS Mrs. A. B. Loure, Mrs. S. D. JefA man ought to think farther ahead than today.

A tomorrow is coming when the stock can't be bought for less than $1.50 a share. Only 2600 shares remain of the present allotment. You had better take as many of these as you can handle. HOME INVESTMENT COMPANY 113 Center St. the new company would reap a rich harvest in the way of large dividends during all the coming years. It looks now as though Santa Ana would secure the headquarters offices of the company unless there is a change in the standing of the various towns during the coming week or two, for the county seat has supported the enterprise even better than the other towns, although they have all done their full share. Even should the headquarters offices be moved to Santa Ana we are assured that Anaheim will be retained as an important point in the conduct of the company's business and that the present offices will be retained. The new Santa Ana office will be ready for occupancy not later than Sept. 15 and will be located in the new Abstract & Title building at the corner of Main and Fifth streets. The First National bank of Santa Ana has been selected as the chief depository of the company and A. Getty, vice president of the bank as treasurer. This is in line with the well known policy of the company to secure the strongest men of the county as officers and is another warrant of success.

When a merchant finds that he is going to run out of a line of goods he calls up the wholesaler or factory and not only orders a new stock, but comes to an agreement on the price and the time of delivery. The unexpected needs of his customers can be met with the least possible delay.
