OUR CORRESPONDENT SEES GALA EVENT ADMISSION FETE GORGEOUS RIOT OF COLOR Coronation Ceremony, Magnificent Pageant, Dazzling Carnival Features—Monster Masquerade at Auditorium Veterans of Mexican War in Line Number but Nine—Torch Light and Electric Parade Will Represent "A Phantasy of the Future Ages" Glorious Climax to the Festivities (Correspondence of The Gazette) San Francisco, Sept. 6.—Through streets that will be a wonderland of waving color and which will be lined with thousands of spectators, Queen California will wend her way escorted by her army of military and retainers to Union Square, there to be crowned as monarch of the three days festivities to be held in celebration of the sixtieth anniversary of the admission of California to the union of states. This will be the inaugural procession of the Admission Day Festival, which begins on September 8 and lasts until September 10. For three days the spirit of carnival will rule. The days will be filled with parades, entertainments and receptions and a thousand other attractions man accepting the invitation of the Admission Day Festival Committee to participate in the parade there comes a breath of romance from the days of the Spanish occupation—not, however, the period of "the splendid idle '40s," but rather the swashbuckling days of the fighting frontier, when the boundaries of the United States were marked out of blood and iron and the destiny of the Pacific lay in the hands of men who gambled with their lives. On the letter head of the Associated Veterans of the Mexican War, which bears the acceptance of Major Sherman on behalf of his organization, the majesty of history is conveyed by the black lines that crosscut the roll of distinguished dead. William N. Hilton, secretary; Ferlinand Meyers, treasurer; L. Sellinger, marshal; Isaac M. Baker, and Col. John L. Bromley all have been mustered out since that letter head was printed. Only fifteen members of the association of veterans now exist, and nine of these will be present in the great parade on Admission Day. They will ride in carriages and will be given the place of high honor. On Saturday there will be athletic events at the Golden Gate Stadium, and aquatic—swimming and rowing—at foot of Van Ness avenue, at which valuable prizes will be competed for by famous champions. The torchlight and electric parade will represent "A Phantasy of Future... by her army of military men to Union Square, there to be crowned as monarch of the three days festivities to be held in celebration of the sixtieth anniversary of the admission of California to the union of states. This will be the inaugural procession of the Admission Day Festival, which begins on September 8 and lasts until September 10. For three days the spirit of carnival will rule. The days will be filled with parades, entertainments and receptions and a thousand other attractions, and the nights will be brilliant with illuminations such as have never before been seen in the West. There will be balls and receptions by the various parlors, concerts and entertainments of all kinds. The opening parade and the great Admission Day parade on September 9, as well as the monster electric and carnival parade on the night of September 10, will be the most elaborate of their kinds ever devised in San Francisco. The celebration will wind up in a blaze of glory with the magnificent masquerade ball at the Auditorium on the last day of the festival. The coronation ceremonies to be held in Union Square at 3 o'clock in the afternoon of the opening day will symbolize the bestowing of the crown of statehood upon California and the rejoicing which follows an event of such import. Queen California and her maids of honor will board the government steamer at the Powell street wharf, arriving at the Mission street wharf at 1:30 o'clock, where the queen and her suite will be met by Colonel Frank W. Marston, chairman of the reception committee. Then will follow the parade to Union Square where the arrival of the queen will be the signal for a chorus of greeting from the throats of five thousand school children under the direction of Miss Estelle Carpenter. The coronation ceremonies will be conducted by James Rolph, Jr., chairman of the festival committee. The parade from the wharf to the square will be under the direction of Grand Marshal Angelo J. Rossi, chief of staff; J. Emmet Hayden, and chief aide; T. B. W. Leland. The escort will consist of the California Grays, the Nationals, League of the Cross Cadets, and the military. The great parade, which will be the feature of Admission Day, September 9, and the most impressive event in the entire three days programme during the festival, will be the most elaborate and colorful procession ever seen in San Francisco. With more than 20,000 people in costume march- ciation of veterans now exist, and nine of these will be present in the great parade on Admission Day. They will ride in carriages and will be given the place of high honor. On Saturday there will be athletic events at the Golden Gate Stadium, and aquatic—swimming and rowing—at foot of Van Ness avenue, at which valuable prizes will be competed for by famous champions. The torchlight and electric parade will represent "A Phantasy of Future Ages," in which something entirely new in the way of electric mechanical floats will be shown. Following this will be the carnival section with thousands of comic burlesque characters, and some startling mechanical effects in confetti artillery never before attempted. This section of the parade will end at the auditorium and the masquerade ball. When 10,000 people throng into the Auditorium on the night of September 10 to join in the fun of the great masquerade that will be the climax of the Admission Day Festival. San Francisco will show the world that she has restored something more than mere architectural individuality. This colorful night will be an expression of the jolly, care-free spirit which more than anything else, has made this the best-loved city in America. This night will be more San Francisco than anything that ever happened in the old days. The painters, the sculptors, the musicians and the actors of the city have determined to make of this evening twelve hours that will linger in the memory of the oldest inhabitant two generations hence. It is not the costly prizes that have been offered for the best sustained character, the best sustained group, the most original costume and the most elaborate costume that have inspired the different parlors to their present pitch of rivalry, but rather desire to show the vast concourse of visitors who will be in San Francisco for the celebration that the Golden Gate is worthy of her reputation as the most entertaining hostess of the western hemisphere. The setting of the evening—the decorations, the costumes, the music, has been arranged by the best artists in the west; but the charm of the night will be the spontaneous fun that only comes to life in Old San Francisco and is born every minute. The art-loving, songful Italians and French, the picturesque Orientals and the descendants of the old pioneers—good fellows and argonauts of adventurous races—will join to give a stir- facts of the story ed his hearers to fore we go to party is out, and we get it in this story is as follow.

The great parade, which will be the feature of Admission Day, September 9, and the most impressive event in the entire three days programme during the festival, will be the most elaborate and colorful procession ever seen in San Francisco. With more than 20,000 people in costume marching to the inspiring strains of seventy-five military bands and with more than 100 floats and features in line, the parade will be a revelation not only to those who have seen the former celebrations of California's natal day, but to the bulk of those who declared that the Portola pageant would never be outdone as a spectacle. But beneath the waving of the flags, the fluttering of the colors and the blare of the scores of crashing bands, there lies a deeper significance, and in this riot of music and color many will not see the dramatic side of this parade, which can never be repeated in some of its phases. The veterans of the Mexican War, by which California was acquired, will be seen in line for the last time in an Admission Day celebration in San Francisco. There will be nine of these grand old warriors in the parade and the average age will be 84 years. In striking contrast to this little band, riding in their carriages in the place of honor, will be the companies of Boy Scouts and Columbia Park Boys, both in military formation and with their own bands. The average age will be 10 years. With the letter of Major A. Sher- The setting of the evening—the decorations, the costumes, the music, has been arranged by the best artists in the west; but the charm of the night will be the spontaneous fun that only comes to life in Old San Francisco and is born every minute. The art-loving, songful Italians and French, the picturesque Orientals and the descendants of the old ploneens—good fellows and argonauts of adventurous races—will join to give a stirrup-cup to the fleeting hours. And "tempus will fugit" at the big masquerade ball in the Auditorium, Saturday, September 10. While the masquerade ball will be taken by San Francisco as the best opportunity to show her appreciation of the honor that has been shown her by the Native Sons and Daughters, she will be hard pressed if she seeks to maintain a reputation for originality in carnival ideas, for every parlor in the state has something distinctive to reveal on the night of September 10. The night will be truly representative of the sunny temperament of a sunny state. EBELL CLUB The first regular meeting of the Anaheim Ebell Club for the coming year was held Saturday afternoon. The new president, Mrs. Fred C. Spencer, presided. Two very enjoyable musical numbers were given by Miss Juny, an outline of the work for the coming year was given by each section chairman, and each member present was asked to express her opinion on what was the most essential work for the club to do. A very interesting and enthusiastic gathering was the result. ANAHEIM, CALIFORNIA, THURSDAY, SEPTEMBER 8, 1910 LOCAL LIVE WIRES OF WEEK’S HAPPENINGS W. P. QUARTON HOLDS RECORD FOR ALL-NIGHT JOY RIDE Eleven Blowouts on Journey to Oceanside Keep Him Busy, and He Returns With His Party at Daybreak—Elmer Goodrich Has So Many Blowouts He Hasn’t Reached Home Yet—Hit Trail for Parts Unknown When Man Told Him Former Wife Was Still Living W. P. Quarton has been noticed this week getting people in corners and confiding a tale of adventure which keen observers said made their hair curl at the ends. It was with difficulty the Gazette got the inside facts of the story, for Quarton pledged his hearers to secrecy, but just before we go to press the terrible story is out, and we stop the press to get it in this edition. The awful story is as follows: Quarton invited a party consisting of Mr. and Mrs. W. I. Carver and Mr. and Mrs. Jack Abbott to accompany himself, wife and two sons on an auto trip to Oceanside last Sunday. A start was made at 6:30, and Quarton expected to return at 6 in WALNUT HARVEST BEGINS Crop Is Light, but Prices Will Be Higher Walnut growers of Orange county have begun harvesting their crop, which in this county is worth about $900,000 annually. The nuts have begun to fall rapidly, free from the hulls and fully three weeks earlier than last year, and a month earlier than two years ago. The quality is good. The yield per tree is lighter than last year. The output of the county will be about as last year, 7,000,000 lbs., the new orchards making up the deficiency caused by the lighter crop. The present indications are that the prices will be from 2 to 3 cents per lb. better than last year. Every variation of a cent means a difference of about $70,000 to the growers of the county. The California walnut associations last year set the prices at 11 1-2 cents per lb. They have not named a figure for this year, but that it will be higher is indicated by the activity and prices quoted by independent buyers, who offered as high as 13 1-2 cents per lb. for orchard run. PETITION FOR WARDED TO ADJUTANT GENERAL Sixty-five names attached to a petition asking Adjutant-General Lauck to order the mustering in of a new company of the National Guard were transmitted to headquarters on Tuesday afternoon. The petition goes first to Col. Schrieber, commanding the Seventh regiment. That official is expected to approve the petition, and it goes thence to Brig.-Gen. Wankowski, who in turn, after affixing his approval, will transmit it to the adjutant general at Sacramento. WHY ROADS About Anaheim Are So Poor, While In Other Places Roads are Good Anaheim, Sept. 7, 1910. Editor Gazette—The voters of An- Quarton invited a party consisting of Mr. and Mrs. W. I. Carver and Mr. and Mrs. Jack Abbott to accompany himself, wife and two sons on an auto trip to Oceanside last Sunday. A start was made at 6:30, and Quarton expected to return at 6 in the evening. It was exactly 5 o'clock on Monday morning before the party reached home. The party encountered eleven blowouts during the trip, which beats the record. The first blowout occurred on the San Joaquin ranch, and delayed them an hour. Another came after 6 miles had been traversed. They went within 20 miles of their destination, when another blowout, at 3 o'clock in the afternoon, decided them to start on their return trip. Eight more blowouts occurred on the way home, the last one being just outside the city's southern line. The blowouts were repaired as they occurred, each consuming about an hour, and just as dawn was breaking in the east the party reached home. Mr. and Mrs. Carver were taken home first. Mrs. Carver said to Quarton: "Now take Jack and Ethel home." "Excuse us," said Abbott, "We prefer to get out and walk. I'm not going to have that thing stalled in front of my house." Irving Quarton informs us that the story about town that his father caused the blowouts on purpose, just to keep the party out all night, is not true, for he says the old man was madder than a wet hen, and he doesn't usually get that way. NO NEWS OF MISSING MAN Wife Deserter Drops Out of Sight Completely Nothing has been heard of E. L. Goodrich who left town two weeks ago last Sunday evening, with the expressed purpose of going to Bay City where he was engaged in building a cottage. The latest word from him was contained in the letter received from him by his wife last week. The letter was posted at Salt Lake City, and in it Goodrich said that when she received the letter he would be thousands of miles away. Goodrich told his wife he had met a man who told him his former wife, whom he regarded as dead, was living and was anxious to see him. THIS MAN WANTS TO KNOW Why Roads About Anaheim Are So Poor, While In Other Places Roads are Good Anaheim, Sept. 7, 1910. Editor Gazette.—The voters of Anaheim road district are clamoring to know why Anaheim and its outlying district has its roads in such a disreputable condition? Why so much worse than the adjacent towns? Take the road to Olinda for example. Until we strike the Fullerton district at Placentia the roads are simply disgraceful for a town of 500 inhabitants, say nothing of one claiming 5,000. They have not been worked thoroughly this season, while just beyond in the Fullerton district they are continually working them. Who is to blame? Does Anaheim pay less road tax; or don't she pay any? Or is there graft? Will some one please explain? Or, better still, will some one begin road work, and get the roads in as good condition as Fullerton, and thereby save explanation. Taxpayer. BILL HINRICH'S PARALYZED Bill Hinrichs who went from Olive to Washington to pitch for the league club in that city, has been stricken with paralysis. A Washington dispatch says of him: "Bill Hinrichs, a pitcher on the Washington American league baseball team, who has been suffering from infantile paralysis, at the George Washington hospital, has grown steadily worse, and physicians entertain grave doubts of his recovery, and also have barred all visitors from the athlete's room. The disease developed in malignant form in Hinrich's left leg. Dr. Clifford Cox, the ball club's physician, says that the isolation was absolutely necessary because of the fact that infantile paralysis has been found to be infectious. The effect of the disease, it is declared, is atrophy of the muscles, or a contraction that prevents further growth through deadening of the nervous system in the parts affected. "Upon the recommendation of Walter Johnson, Washington's star pitcher, Hinrich joined the team several months ago, coming here from California. He had pitched only one game when he was stricken with the malady." ago last Sunday evening, with the expressed purpose of going to Bay City where he was engaged in building a cottage. The latest word from him was contained in the letter received from him by his wife last week. The letter was posted at Salt Lake City, and in it Goodrich said that when she received the letter he would be thousands of miles away. Goodrich told his wife he had met a man who told him his former wife, whom he regarded as dead, was living and was anxious to see him. Goodrich claimed to have a certificate of this woman's death, but said it had been stolen from him when his rooms were burglarized at Denver some years ago. Evidently he placed little reliance in the certificate, for he hit the trail and has not since been seen or heard of. BAG TWO BUCKS Sight Sixteen Deer In Three Days In Thick Underbrush Mike Lopez and G. Peralta of the quartette who left here some ten days ago on a deer hunt in Los Angeles county, were successful in bagging a buck each. The party saw sixteen deer during their three days in the mountains, but on account of the thick underbrush were unable to secure but two. Their hunt was cut short by the intense heat they encountered. A mountain lion was seen by Lopez, while following a companion up a narrow trail, who being in direct line with the cat, forbid Mike from taking a shot at it. Lopez called for his companion to lie down so that he could get a shot at the feline, but instead started to "rubber" and the lion escaped. DEATH OF EDWARD P. WRIGHT Edward P. Wright died at Buena Park on Thursday, September 1, at 3:30 p.m., at the age of 76 years. He was born at Canton, Fulton Co., Ill., January 24, 1834. In 1861 he joined the army and served four years.

WAREHOUSE AT PLACENTIA The new warehouse now under construction at Placentia by the Placenta-Olinda Warehouse Company, is about completed and will be ready for business by October 1. The Benchley fruit company, which will operate the warehouse, announces that it will not attempt to handle any of the 1910 crop, but will be prepared to handle 500 cars of the 1911 crop. Anaheim, Cal., Sept. 6, 1910. The Adjutant General, State of California, Sacramento, Cal. Sir:—We hereby submit for your approval a list of sixty-five names for the purpose of organizing a military company in Anaheim. The list contains some of the best professional and business element in our city as well as good material from the surrounding country. Over half of the signers have had previous military experience—the pick of the old company. All candidates for commissions have served in the national guard previously. Dr. L. W. Wells, for captain, is at present a member of Co. B, 7th, Los Angeles, and comes highly recommended from Des Moines, Ia., where he served in the guard of that state.

HALF MILLION CAPITAL RIVER'S OVERFLOW SUBJECT OF INTEREST ENGINEER BRYAN OF SANTA FE LOOKS OVER GROUND Railroad Companies Offer 150 Piles Each If County Will Drive Them at Point Where River Left Channel Last Winter, Inundating Tracks and Countryside—Taxpayer Talks About Good Roads—Local Boys Could not Beat the Umpire—Events Engineer C. M. Bryan of the Santa Fe passed through town on Monday morning's San Diego train, while a delegation of citizens headed by Mayor Rust and J. F. Ahlborn were at the depot in an auto to take him to the river at Olive for the purpose of investigating the overflow situation. The Southern Pacific company some days ago assured the chamber of commerce that it would donate 150 piles for protecting the river's west bank if the Santa Fe company would do the same. The piles will be driven by the county. Mr. Bryan was expected, after viewing the river, to meet the offer of the first-named company, but he failed to alight from the train. Mr. Ahlborn inquired of the conductor and was told that Mr. Bryan HALF MILLION CAPITAL Orange County Investment Company to Succeed the Home Investment Company On Wednesday evening of last week a notable company of Orange county business men gathered at 201 West Fourth street in Santa Ana, for the purpose of completing the organization of the Orange County Investment Company to succeed the Home Investment Company of Anaheim in the business of building homes on the installment plan for the people of this county. These men were selected from among the 200 stockholders of the company to manage its affairs during the coming year and they form one of the strongest groups of men ever gathered together in Orange county as a board of directors. The vice presidents of three of the leading banks of the county together with a leading educator, several capitalists and ranchers made up a body of men whose presence on the directorate of any company would insure its safe and conservative management. A. S. Bradford, vice president of the First National bank of Anaheim, heads the list, followed by A. Getty, vice president of the First National bank of Santa Ana, D. F. Campbell, vice president of the First National bank of Orange; J. E. Kellogg, capitalist and rancher; E. M. Nealley, member of the county board of education; H. C. Harris and H. Romer, prominent ranchers and businessmen of Tustin; A. C. Jewell of Los Angeles, and E. L. Olmstead, present president of the Home Investment Co. of Anaheim, and the man to whose energy and far sighted business judgment the success of this undertaking is due. The incorporation papers have been filed and as soon as the charter is granted the company will begin to extend its business to all portions of Orange county. This will be about September 15th, and the new offices of the company at Santa Ana are now being fitted up in splendid shape for the handling of the large business that is already coming to may rest assured, that you have the united support of our association. Hoping that your efforts may meet with success and that the young men of our community may again have the privilege of showing their patriotism in offering their services to the state and the nation, I wish to remain, yours very truly, J. Frederick Ahlborn, Sec'y A. R. M. Ass'n. Mr. Ahlborn inquired of the conductor and was told that Mr. Bryan was on the train. It was at first thought that he had passed through by some misunderstanding, but the telephone soon brought a response from A. A. Mills, who had arranged for the meeting, that Bryan would arrive here on Wednesday. The committee of citizens were again at the depot yesterday, but Bryan failed to arrive. He telegraphed he would be here Saturday. Mr. Bryan was at the Olive bridge on Saturday with Engineer Halladay of the highway commission, and said he would recommend that his company donate one hundred and fifty piles for protecting the river.Work of driving them will probably be taken up in the near future. The bank will be protected near the Olive bridge, in an endeavor to restrain the waters during the coming winter. Last January's overflow sent a great volume of water toward this city.The railroad tracks were submerged and traffic was interfered with during several days. COULDN'T BEAT THE UMP 11 to 7 In His Favor Was The Score at Huntington Beach The Anaheim baseball team went down to Huntington Beach Sunday and played an exhibition game with an unregenerate Phillistine, miscalled an umpire. This individual had nine men, who compose the Huntington Beach club, to assist him, but they were not needed. The umpire was amply able to control the situation without assistance. Huntington pitched a splendid game and Fritz Schneider behind the bat, was at his best. In fact, the boys put up a good game considering the crippled condition of the team at present, but it was time,temper and effort wasted, as the game at the end of the ninth inning, stood 11 to 7 in favor of the ump.

This will be about September 15th, and the new offices of the company at Santa Ana are now being fitted up in splendid shape for the handling of the large business that is already coming to this popular concern. A long term lease has been taken on both the Anaheim and Santa Ana offices and the company is preparing itself for a large and permanent business. At the present time they have three houses in process of construction and a large number of applications on file which will be taken up in the order of their filing. Until the formal opening of the business of the new company about Sept. 15 the present price will apply on stock subscriptions, viz.: $1.15 per share, but it is expected that the board of directors will very largely advance this rate after the date named in order to approach the real value of the stock on the basis of the last year's earnings, or $1.50 a share AMERICA'S LARGEST BURG Washington, Sept. 3.—According to official figures given out of the thirteenth census, the population of the City of New York is 4,766,883, as compared with 3,437,202 in 1900 and 2,507,414 in 1890. The increase from 1900 to 1910 is 1,329,681, or 38.7 per cent as compared with an increase for the preceding decade of 929,788, or 31 percent. Huntington pitched a splendid game and Fritz Schneider, behind the bat, was at his best. In fact, the boys put up a good game considering the crippled condition of the team at present, but it was time,temper and effort wasted, as the game at the end of the ninth inning, stood 11 to 7 in favor of the ump. The boys claim that the reception accorded them by the bucolic inhabitants of that benighted village on the sands of the seashore was disgraceful. They appear to think that the way to treat a stranger within their gates is to abuse, insult, malign and maltreat him. This does not apply to all but there were enough of that breed in evidence at the game to cause the boys to declare that never again will they attempt to play a game of ball at Huntington Beach. If those villagers expect to retain a club in the Orange county league they must learn that some small courtesy is due visiting teams.
