VARIOUS PETITIONERS MEET WITH TRUSTEES LEMON STREET RESIDENTS WANT LIGHTS AND STREET EXTENSION Chamber of Commerce Committee Present Sewer Plans—Five Bids Submitted for Street Sweepers, Ranging in Price from $310 to $1825—Board to Inspect Machines—Trustees Will Attend Municipal League Convention at San Diego—Reports The City Trustees were confronted with two delegations of citizens and a bunch of agents when the session opened on Thursday evening. One delegation was composed of residents of Lemon street, both male and female, and was commanded by Judge Shanley. The Judge, who acted as spokesman, wanted to know what had become of a couple of petitions filed with the trustees several months ago requesting an extension of that street from Santa Ana to Broad; also the petition praying for the installation of street lights; and furthermore demanding that a certain portion of the street be widened about six feet. The property owners fronting this section of the street, he said, were willing and anxious to deed the strip to the city. Regarding the street lights, Lemon street had been neglected and overlooked for so long a time, he said, that they would thankfully accept the bracket lamps that more favored sections of the city had rejected. The Judge also called the board's attention to the fact that the water main on Lemon street is merely a two-inch pipe, and is absolutely worthless in case of fire. He claimed that engineer was instructed to investigate. An invitation to attend the State Municipal League convention which will be in session in San Diego Nov. 18 to 19, was accepted, and the trustees will probably attend in a body. They will probably absorb much information that will be of value to themselves as well as the city in the future. The sewer system, it is promised, will be discussed by experts, and that is a question that Anaheim is vitally interested in just now.

He claimed that the Betz house, which was destroyed by fire last week, could have been partially saved if the water pressure had been sufficient. He was promised relief in all his complaints at the earliest possible time. A communication from D. Gervais, representing the South Los Angeles street residents, rejected the proposal of the trustees to install the bracket lamps in preference to the center lights. It was decided to hold up the Los Angeles street light until after the Walnut street bracket lamps had been installed, as it was thought that, after inspection, the Los Angeles people might prefer them to the center lights. On motion of Trustee Stock City Engineer Steward was instructed to prepare plans and specifications for a complete sewer system for Anaheim, and estimate the actual cost as nearly as possible. On receipt of his report the board will be able to determine the size of the bond issue to be voted upon for this purpose. Messrs. Mills, Holcomb and Eygabroad, the sewer committee from the chamber of commerce, were present, and through Mr. Mills introduced for the consideration of the board, the system previously endorsed by that body. It was laid over for consideration when the proper time arrives for adopting a system. In response to the recent advertisement asking for sealed bids for a street sweeper five propositions were read by the clerk, as follows: Henshaw, Bulkley Co., an Austin Standard Sweeper, for $350. W. E. Baxter, a vacuum sweeper, $1825. George A. Rogers, of Los Angeles, a Kain sweeper, $330. Petrolithic Paving Co., a Meges, with two cans, $277.50; with three extra cans, $325.

In a conference with the agricultural committee of the Denver chamber of commerce, he expressed his regret at the fact that the beet sugar industry in Colorado is not used for its full value. His reference was to the neglect of the beet pulp, which he declares is the best butter producer in the world. "Here you are importing butter," he said, "when that is entirely unnecessary simply because your people are ignorant of the possibilities of the pulp. Why it has struck me so forcibly that my department will issue a pamphlet before long on that very subject." Most people hereabouts, however, are not ignorant of the facts he states but on the contrary are availing themselves of the opportunity which beet sugar factories afford them to get supplies of sugar beet pulp, not only to feed while the factory is running, but they have erected and are erecting, silos to hold a sufficient supply for their needs during the remainder of the year until beet slicing begins again. Those who have done this have proven to their own satisfaction that the best results in the handling of a dairy are obtained when they keep up the milk flow as nearly the year around as possible.

THE NEXT LEGISLATURE Deadlock Probable in Choice of United States Senator Divided on strictly party lines, the next legislature will be composed of 41 republicans and nine democrats in the senate, and 69 republicans and 11 democrats in the assembly. Party lines are expected to disappear, however, when the time arrives to vote on a successor to Senator Pilot. His successor demands on time appear which a young stronger and more in later life.

Petrolithic Paving Co., of Los Angeles, $340, or with extra broom, $360. Newell, Matthews & Co., Studebaker Rotary, $310. Representatives of all the firms submitting a bid were present and solicited a personal examination of the various machines offered, and it was finally decided that the board should go to Long Beach at an early date to inspect the Baxter sweeper, and also stop at Los Angeles and see some of the others in operation. Mr. Nebelung, who was appointed as a commissioner to negotiate for the opening of the alley between Los Angeles and Lemon streets, south of Center, was granted an extension of time. Henry Hussman asked permission to erect a barber pole on the sidewalk in front of his shop. Petition was denied. Only one building permit was petitioned for—that of Geo. M. Tedrick to erect a $2000 residence on Alberta street. A motion was adopted instructing the city clerk to notify the Southern Pacific railroad to construct a culvert across Santa Ana street at the intersection of Palm. Ferdinand Backs reported that, notwithstanding the recent repairs on the pavement at his corner the water is still seeping through into his cellar and is damaging his merchandise. It is supposed the hydrant on that corner has sprung a leak, and the en- THE NEXT LEGISLATURE Deadlock Probable in Choice of United States Senator Divided on strictly party lines, the next legislature will be composed of 41 republicans and nine democrats in the senate, and 69 republicans and 11 democrats in the assembly. Party lines are expected to disappear, however, when the time arrives to vote on a successor to Senator Flint. His successor depends on whether the incoming legislators will follow the popular primary endorsement of Judge Works, or the district plurality given to A. G. Spalding. One of the bitterest fights of the coming session will center around this, with the prospect of a legislative deadlock. The flight for the speakership in the assembly promises to be bitter, with the progressives already predicting victory. While Johnson was a success as an anti-railroad candidate, it is noticeable that nearly all so-called machine candidates on the state ticket, were swept into office. The machine, however, lost strong supporters in Greve Johnson, the governor-elect's father, and Assemblymen Beardslee and Transue. The San Francisco and Alameda county delegations were overhauled. A complete republican delegation was returned from Los Angeles Uncle George Snow, an old antebellum negro, was giving testimony. The counsel asked Uncle George on which side of Souchatouchee creek he lived, to which he replied: Which side of the creek do I live on, boss? Yes. Gwine up or down the creek, boss?

PLANNING KINDERGARTEN West Anaheim Has Movement On Foot for Little Folks There is a movement on foot in West Anaheim to establish a kindergarten where it seems are many children of suitable age. It requires only the co-operation of the parents with a kindergartner to organize what will prove of untold benefit to the little folks between the ages of three and six years. The teachers of the Loara school all feel that it would be a fine acquisition, and the trustees have individually given their consent to allow the kindergarten the use of the vacant room in the building. What is the kindergarten, and what are the benefits derived from it are questions frequently asked. The word "Kindergarten" is German and means, literally translated, children garden; i.e., a place where young children are nourished and cared for as plants are nourished and cared for in the garden. As plants thrive only in good soil with sunlight and moisture, and need pruning and trimming to promote symmetry of growth and arrive at perfection as nearly as possible, so young human plants need right conditions for growth, care and training that their growth may be symmetrical and that the ripened fruits of character may in proper time appear. The first impressions which a young child receives are stronger and more lasting than those in later life. As the thriving of the child's body depends in a measure upon its breathing pure air, so the purity and morality of the soul depend partly upon impressions received in early childhood. No development in the human mind can be forced, but with proper care during the whole period of childhood when body and mind should be exercised and cultivated together, the mind develops it. JOPLIN ONLY ONE WHO WON All Republican Candidates Land Except Metzgar for Treasurer J. C. Joplin, democratic candidate for county treasurer, is the only candidate of that party elected in Orange county at last week's election. L. A. West defeated Horace Head for district attorney by a margin of 33 votes. Lester ran away from Tedford, and Mitchell burled Beswick.

The incoming board of supervisors will consist of three republicans and two democrats. P.E. RUN OVER S.P. TRACK How Material Will Be Hauled to new Beach Sugar Factory It has been determined by the management of the Pacific electric railway company to run its trains from Huntington Beach to the sugar factory site in the northeastern suburbs of that city, over the present tracks of the Southern Pacific railroad, up Railroad avenue and for this purpose the latter road will be electrized to a point about a mile beyond the tile works. Conferences were held between officials of the Huntington Beach company and the Pacific electric railway company in regard to the route of the latter from its local depot to the sugar factory site. The first-named company was very anxious to have the railroad traverse Thirteenth St. from Ocean avenue to the factory, in spite of possible disadvantages because of hauling freight at frequent intervals through the city's central portion, but finally acquiesced in the views of the railroad officials, who preferred the arrangement which has been made. The Pacific electric company has pledged itself to the Holly sugar company to run not less than twelve of its trains daily between the hours of six o'clock a.m. and seven p.m., all trains to carry passengers, and the schedule to be so arranged as to accommodate employees of the sugar factory in going to and from their labor. The sugar company expects all its employees to reside in Huntington Beach and to transact their business with business men there. There is strong probability, according to those at the head of the railway's affairs, that the road will be built up Thirteenth street at some time in the future, when passenger traffic justifies the change. The deeds to the factory site have which a young child receives are stronger and more lasting than those in later life. As the thriving of the child's body depends in a measure upon its breathing pure air, so the purity and morality of the soul depend partly upon impressions received in early childhood. No development in the human mind can be forced, but with proper care during the whole period of childhood when body and mind should be exercised and cultivated together, the mind develops itself in and with the organs that are connected with it in this life. In a well conducted kindergarten the children are never listless for they learn by doing and the constant use of the hands is necessary. It is by the use of the hand that the inner thought and purpose find outward expression and reveal to the child his own possibilities and with a feeling of self respect and a sense of dignity and importance he looks upon his own work and feels that he can do something well. And it is partly because of this employment to the small hands which kindergarten affords that its industries are so valuable. The materials used are the soft balls, the sphere, cylinder and cube of wood, sticks, rings, paper tablets, cards and colored yarns or thread for sewing the perforated patterns; papers for weaving, cutting or drawing; clay for modeling, beads and straws for stringing, crayons for coloring, and library paste for pasting. In the kindergarten no little time is given to music and to games, thereby giving the children a change of occupation every few moments; and with the outdoor games and occupations that pleasant weather and ample room afford there need be no restraint upon the little ones. ORIENTAL TRADE DECREASE Uncle Sam’s Business With China Shows Falling Off The value of the United States export trade to China has been sinking gradually in the last five years, but the end of the present year is expected to show the lowest total for many years, according to a bulletin from the department of commerce and labor, issued last week. From a maximum of about $58,600,000 in 1905, exports to China have declined to approximately $15,500,000, which is the total estimated for the present year ending next month. For the nine months ending with September last, the total was only $12,750,000. The falling off in the value of Am-McBride 5182, Jones 379.

Currier, a business man of Boston, has just arrived at Santa Ana to search for his sister-in-law, Miss Annie L. Hodges, and he reveals the fact that she dropped out of sight 13 years ago after receiving a draft for $25,000. Miss Hodges and the wife of Mr. Currier were the only daughters of Charles Hodges, a retired capitalist of Boston. Miss Hodges came to California and taught school. For a few years she taught at San Diego, and then went to Santa Ana. From that city she wrote many letters both to her parents and to her sister, Mrs. Currier. In 1894 her father died suddenly, and was followed by his wife in six days. When the estate was settled up it was found that he had left property valued at $60,000. Annie L. Hodges, who was then in Santa Ana, wrote and asked that she be given her share in cash. A bank draft for $25,000 was forwarded to her. It was properly indorsed and cashed, but from that time until the present Mr. Currier has found no clue to aid in finding the missing woman. He can find no entry or record of a bank deposit or real estate transfer which might account for the money. He believes she met with foul play, otherwise the family would have heard from her. He spent considerable time in San Diego before going to Santa Ana. He left there for Los Angeles where he will continue his search, at the earnest desire of his wife. PETITIONS IN TWO ESTATES Hans Ytell Left Property Worth $60,000, Mrs. Patterson Left $17,000 Mrs. Tena Ytell has petitioned for letters of administration on the estate of her husband, Hans Ytell, who died Sept. 19 while visiting at Carl Junction, Mo. The estate is valued at FROM a maximum of about $58,600,-000 in 1905, exports to China have declined to approximately $15,500,000, which is the total estimated for the present year ending next month. For the nine months ending with September last, the total was only $12,750,000. The falling off in the value of American exports to the Celestial empire occurred chiefly in cotton and mineral oils. The decline in the cotton trade is attributed to the fact that cotton production recently has been stimulated in China and that large quantities of cotton yarn were shipped from India owing to the advances in the prices of American raw cotton. Minerals sent to China show a decline in value but actual advance in quantity. BRIDGE OVER SAN LUIS REY RIVER The first arch beam of reinforced concrete for the 600-foot bridge over the San Luis Rey river at Oceanside was placed in position this week. Each beam is fifty-seven feet long, forty-two inches wide and sixteen inches deep, and weighs twenty tons. There are four beams to each of the six spans. They are made upon the ground and hoisted by a huge derrick and crane. Sixty men are at work upon the bridge, which is being installed for the county highway commission. Let your eyes smile through Hartfield's glasses. PETITIONS IN TWO ESTATES Hans Ytell Left Property Worth $60,000, Mrs. Patterson Left $17,000 Mrs. Tena Ytell has petitioned for letters of administration on the estate of her husband, Hans Ytell, who died Sept. 19 while visiting at Carl Junction, Mo. The estate is valued at $60,000, and consists of $30,000 worth of lands in Orange, Tulare and Merced counties, $24,000 in notes, and $5900 in deposits in the First National bank of Santa Ana. Under the will, a certified copy of which is filed with the county clerk, the original having been filed in Jasper county, Mo., half of the estate is to go to the widow and the remainder is to be divided equally among six children. Daniel & Daniel are attorneys for the petitioner. James Patterson, through his attorneys, Langley & Thomas, has filed with the county clerk a petition for letters of administration on the estate of Mary F. Patterson, who died on Nov. 4th. The estate is valued at $17,000, of which $3000 is a house and lot in Santa Ana. The heirs are Anna Sedgwick of Sandwich, Ill.; W. W. and J. H. Patterson and Eva Huston of Winfield, Ia., and J. M. and Esther Patterson of Santa Ana. MARRIAGE LICENSES A marriage license has been issued to Jack L. Adams, 25, and Jessie L. Warner, 21. of Orange. License to wed was also issued to Erwin Bayha of Yorba and Emma Valla. Engineers of the factory company are busy putting down testholes for the new million dollar sugar factory. To be erected at Huntington Beach. An order has gone in to the American bridge company of Pittsburg for the structural steel for the building. Timbers for the construction derricks are on the way from Oregon and are expected November 20. Instead of constructing a new electric line to the factory it has been decided to electrify the Southern Pacific railroad now there. The company has just ordered 200,-000 pounds of sugar-beet seed for distribution among the growers. This will make five carloads of seed, which will come from Germany. In order to accommodate employees the Holly sugar company probably will build forty neat bungalows in that city. LEMONS BRING MONEY At the annual meeting of the San Dimas Lemon Association reports were read showing an output for the season of 590 cars of 312 boxes to a car which brought $466,000. Although the output this year is 110 cars less than last, the returns are $154,623 more. The picking charges amounted to $38,000. The confirmed bachelor came back to the club lunch from the end of the earth, and we all asked him if he was married yet (he is near fifty). "I shall marry a clever woman if I do," he replied, grimly. "Thought you didn't like those clever women?" said the youngest member, simply. "I do not," said the bachelor, whose views are well known and widely spread. "But if ever I marry it'll be an infernally clever woman who does it."
