BACK FROM SAN DIEGO A UNIT FOR SEWERS CITY OFFICIALS ATTEND THE LEAGUE OF MUNICIPALITIES MEETING Engineer Baker of Sacramento Drops Into Town on Tuesday, Approves City Engineer Steward's Plans for Sewers and Sewer Farm—Executive Session of City Officials Tuesday Evening—Sewer Question Soon to Be Submitted to Voters of City Councilmen Rust, Nebelung, Stock and Becker, City Engineer Steward and Marshal Simpson returned from San Diego at 7 o'clock on Saturday morning, having left the southern city at 2 a.m., following a banquet at the U. S. Grant hotel tendered 300 delegates of the annual session of the League of California Municipalities. The banquet concluded the most interesting meeting ever held by the league, and the local delegates are loud in their praises, not alone. COL. ROYER'S GENEROSITY Gives Three Acres for Knights of Pythias Gymnasium Things were doing at the Royer ranch on Saturday and Sunday, when a force of 25 local Pythians began tearing down the two-story Davis residence which stood at the west end of Col. Royer's holding fronting the Garden Grove road. Col. Royer some time ago donated the local K. of P. lodge three acres at this point as a site for a gymnasium, and to add good measure contributed a carload of lumber and such material as could be utilized out of the old residence occupying the tract. Work of demolition began on Saturday and by Sunday night the building was a thing of the past. Lunch was served on the ground and the men worked with a will. A handsome gym will be erected adjacent to large drill grounds which will be used by Pythians. The old residence was erected in Anaheim forty years ago by P. Davis. It replaced a similar structure which had some time before been destroyed by fire. It stood in rear of the present Strodthoff building on West Center street. Davis disposed of the Councilmen Rust, Nebelung, Stock and Becker, City Engineer Steward and Marshal Simpson returned from San Diego at 7 o'clock on Saturday morning, having left the southern city at 2 a.m., following a banquet at the U. S. Grant hotel tendered 300 delegates of the annual session of the League of California Municipalities. The banquet concluded the most interesting meeting ever held by the league, and the local delegates are loud in their praises, not alone of the importance of the session, but of the hospitality of the San Diego citizens. The meeting began on Tuesday morning and continued four days. Sessions were held at the U. S. Grant hotel, where many delegates made headquarters. A volume of business was transacted, and interesting programmes marked each meeting. Delegates were given an excursion on the bay and a trolly ride to Point Loma. The local men informed themselves especially upon street work, sewers and street sweeping. They went to La Jolla, where they inspected the sewer system and septic tank in operation there. As a result of information secured, the city trustees will in the near future take up the matter of installing sewers in this city. N. D. Baker of Sacramento, representing the California State Board of Health, was in the city on Monday, stopping off on his return trip north from San Diego. He was met by Councilmen Rust and Nebelung and Engineer Steward in an auto and driven over the city. He was shown plans and specifications for a sewer system, so far as they have progressed, and approved them. Mr. Baker is an engineer of state wide reputation and an authority upon sewers. He was a leading figure at the San Diego meeting, and stopped off here in obedience to an invitation by the city officials to come and look over the ground as far as the city has gone in the sewer campaign. That he endorsed what had been done indicates that the public will soon be made familiar with the purposes of the city to properly sewer the town. Much of the interview between Baker and the city representatives was of a confidential nature, and out of respect to the wishes of the mayor and city surveyor cannot be published. But it can be said that Baker endorsed Steward's plans in detail, going over them carefully. He endorsed the plan for disposal of the sewage upon a farm of 73 acres, where alfalfa and other crops will be raised. The old residence was erected in Anaheim forty years ago by P. Davis. It replaced a similar structure which had some time before been destroyed by fire. It stood in rear of the present Strodthoff building on West Center street. Davis disposed of the property on his departure for San Francisco twenty years ago. Some years ago the building was purchased and moved to the Garden Grove tract. When the walls about the fireplace were torn down it was found that a space of several feet had been burned about the woodwork. For several feet above the interior of the fireplace the wall was not protected by brickwork, and that on various occasions the building was in danger of burning admits of little doubt. Col. Royer secured it under mortgage foreclosure. COMBINATION TOO STRONG Military Academy of Los Angeles Uses Outside Players The football game with Los Angeles military academy at Los Angeles Saturday brought to a close a successful season for the local high school We played a combination of men, some students, two faculty-men and the rest importations. Upon being informed it was play the aggregation or go home without expense money, we decided to go after them. The boys made them earn the three touchdowns and had the Anaheim team showed more spirit there would no doubt have been another story. While we do not care to be considered as grouchers, still we do have a grouch over the way the team was misrepresented to us. With the Saturday's game at Los Angeles the football season of 1910 closed for the local high team, as the schedule has been played in full and viewed from a sporting standpoint the season has been successful. Our record is: three games won, 2 tied and 2 lost. This is not bad and if the pace can be kept up throughout the school year in other lines of athletics we shall have no complaint. Basket ball is now in full swing and while we have lost the first, there are nine more games to play. The first of the league basketball was played at Santa Ana Saturday with Santa Ana winning both.

But it can be said that Baker endorsed Steward's plans in detail, going over them carefully. He endorsed the plan for disposal of the sewage upon a farm of 73 acres, where alfalfa and other crops will be raised. Baker was driven to the depot at noon, when he took passage for the north. The city trustees, with Engineer Steward and other city officials in attendance, met in executive session on Tuesday evening to consider sewers. Nothing could be learned of the nature of the deliberations, but it was reported yesterday the city trustees are about ready to submit their plans for a sewer system to the voters for approval. The trustees have been working quietly for a year, have taken option on a sewer farm and were otherwise progressed sufficiently the first of the week to call in a state expert to pass upon their work. At Tuesday evening's meeting Engineer Steward's estimates for a city sewer system, a sewage-disposal plant at outfall, amounted to $90,000. These are the plans approved by Mr. Baker. The trustees approved the plans, and will meet on Friday evening to discuss the matter of calling an election to vote bonds for the same. Attorney H. V. Weisel nonsuited opposing counsel in the case of Coffman vs. Bushard, which was tried before Judge West in the superior court on Tuesday. He appeared for plaintiff, and succeeded in rescinding a contract and recovering property obtained by defendant. He won his case without putting a witness on the stand. and viewed from a sporting standpoint the season has been successful. Our record is: three games won, 2 tied and 2 lost. This is not bad and if the pace can be kept up throughout the school year in other lines of athletics we shall have no complaint. Basket ball is now in full swing and while we have lost the first, there are nine more games to play. The first of the league basketball was played at Santa Ana Saturday with Santa Ana winning both. On Saturday next both the boys and girls' team meet the Huntington Beach here. Come out and see fast work. The H.S. girls basket ball team won a practice game with the grammar-school last week by a score of 16-6, and lost a practice game with Fullerton; score 29-13. TEACHERS' INSTITUTES The Orange county teachers' institute will be held at the Santa Ana highschool building on Dec. 19-20-21. On Dec. 22 and 23 the institute will join with the Southern California teachers' association, the San Bernardino county teachers and the Los Angeles county and city teachers, who will hold joint sessions in Los Angeles.

HEIM GAZET ANAHEIM, CALIFORNIA, THURSDAY, NOVEMBER 24, 1910 OF INCENDIARY ORIGIN WAS HIGH SCHOOL FIRE MYSTERIOUS TELEPHONE MESSAGE GAVE WARNING AT MIDNIGHT Two Hours Thereafter Building Was Mass of Flames—Girl Operator Considered Phone a Josh—Asked Chief Operator’s Advice When a Second Message Asked That Fire Alarm Be Rung In—Blinds Drawn—Were Always Raised After School Closed Becoming convinced on Monday morning that the fire which destroyed the Fullerton highschool was of incendiary origin, the trustees of the union highschool district set on foot investigations which may result in arrest of the culprit. Fire was discovered in the building by Mr. Jewitt, who lives opposite the building, as narrated in the account of the fire printed on another page, at 2:15 o’clock Friday morning. Inadequate water supply was impotent to cone TREAT THEM ALL ALIKE Alhambra Baseball Team Defeated by a Score of 19 to 3 It was the same old, oft-repeated story on the Anaheim diamond Sunday afternoon. The Alhambra baseball team came down here in the morning with a reputation, and returned in the evening without it. The Alhambra team was heralded as one of the fastest amateur bunches in Southern California, and with the team strengthened by the addition of three professional players the fans expected a close and interesting game, and the visitors were confident of an easy victory. In the very first half of the first inning, however, they were treated to a sensational play that took some of the ginger out of them. Huntington was a little wild at first and the bases were filled with only one man out. Moore, the fourth man to bat, sent a liner down to Lewis who threw to Schneider, catching a runner at the home plate. Schneider threw to Carpenter, who returned it to Fritz, who passed it back to Lewis, retiring the side. It was one of the most sensational plays ever pull- WEEK’S LOCAL EVENTS OF REAL INTEREST LADIES FORM HIVE OF MACCA-BEES Officers Elected and Lodge Membership Signed at Initial Meeting — Highschool Boys Defeated at Foot Ball in Los Angeles game—Anaheim Baseball Club Again Victorious — Los Angeles Man Had Faith In Anaheim—Local Man Gets Feed A local hive of the Ladies of the Maccabeees of the World was instituted in this city by Mrs. Kate A. Russell, district deputy of the order. The Order of the Ladies of the Maccabeees of the World is a fraternal beneficiary society giving life protection to women only, and has a membership of 160,000, being established in 55 states and provinces. The sterling quality of the protection afforded by this woman’s society, is vouchered for by the state insurance agency. Becoming convinced on Monday morning that the fire which destroyed the Fullerton high school was of incendiary origin, the trustees of the union highschool district set on foot investigations which may result in arrest of the culprit. Fire was discovered in the building by Mr. Jewitt, who lives opposite the building, as narrated in the account of the fire printed on another page, at 2:15 o'clock Friday morning. Inadequate water supply was impotent to cope with the flames, and by 5 o'clock the building was a mass of smouldering embers. Before noon reports were in circulation that the fire was of incendiary origin. A meeting of highschool trustees was immediately called, at which these reports were given consideration, but at its conclusion the statement was made that the reports were without foundation. The origin of the fire was a mystery. Some of the trustees, knowing that little fire remained in the furnace at 5 o'clock the evening before the conflagration, leaned to the opinion that tramps might have broken into the building and started a fire to warm themselves, and that the cause of the disaster might be attributed there to. The following day rumors of incendiariaism were again put in circulation. The school trustees took the master up, and on Monday, after a thorough investigation, learned the following facts: At half-past 11 o'clock on Thursday evening the night operator at the Fullerton central office was called up by some unknown party who said that an alarm of fire in the highschool would be turned in in two hours. The operator, according to the rules of the office, had retired at 11 o'clock. She arose and answered the bell, but supposing it was a wag, and that the report was not entitled to serious consideration, paid no attention to it. She again retired, and at 2:15 o'clock was awakened by a call for a fire alarm to be turned in for the highschool. The office is equipped with an electric alarm attached to the city fire-alarm system. Being still of the opinion that it was some irresponsible person endeavoring to annoy her, she called the chief operator and informed her of the two calls. The chief operator advised her to turn in the alarm immediately. A number of the school trustees as well as other citizens of Fullerton express no doubt that the fire was of incendiary origin. The case was gi- In the very first half of the first inning, however, they were treated to a sensational play that took some of the ginger out of them. Huntington was a little wild at first and the bases were filled with only one man out. Moore, the fourth man to bat, sent a liner down to Lewis who threw to Schneider, catching a runner at the home plate. Schneider threw to Carpenter, who returned it to Fritz, who passed it back to Lewis, retiring the side. It was one of the most sensational plays ever pulled off on the grounds. The Anaheim half of the first inning was also interesting. With Fischer on second and Lewis on first, Benny Carpenter made one of his long drives into left field for a home run, bringing in the other two. It is better to draw a veil over the record of the second inning. Seven more runs were corralled by the local team during that inning and another goose-egg was chalked up against the name of Alhambra. Joe Hendricks made a sensational double play without assistance in the fifth. With a runner on first Joe stretched out his long paw toward second and pulled down a linedrive, then beat the runner back to first. Huntington held the visitors down to seven hits and struck out seven men, and was ably backed by Schneider. Only three errors were made by the home team, two by Lewis and one by Fischer, who muffed a little pop fly, because it was too easy. Captain Lewis appears to have an exuberant arm since his return from Berkeley and made a couple of wild throws. Carpenter won $5.50 of the prize-money offered by B. Hartfield—$3.50 for a home run and $2 for a three-base hit. He was also awarded a bat by Houts & Son for the home-run. Benny has quite a collection of bats now. Schneider won the only other Hartfield prize—$1, for catching the first foul fly. Vic LaMont umpired the first half of the game but was taken suddenly ill and Joe Wagner took his place. Joe gave up at the close of the 8th and Herman Stock finished the game. As Herman called everything that left the pitcher's hand a strike, he speedily ended the game.

The Order of the Ladies of the Maccabeees of the World is a fraternal beneficiary society giving life protection to women only, and has a membership of 160,000, being established in 55 states and provinces. The sterling quality of the protection, afforded by this woman's society, is vouchered for by the state insurance departments, who universally commend the stability of its plans and the careful investment of its funds. In addition to the amounts on hand for current expenses and death claims the order has accumulated an emergency fund amounting to $4,436,000 all conservatively invested in good government bonds, and draws over $170,000 interest annually. Besides the high class insurance features, this order offers unexcelled social and fraternal advantages. It has hives in nearly every city in the United States and these afford to their members most delightful opportunities for enjoyment, as well as education in parliamentary procedure and business practices. To members who are sick or in any need, or who may be sojourning in strange places the truest fraternity is extended and given where needed, or sympathy, good cheer and cordial sisterly welcome as occasion demands. The new hive starts out under the most favorable circumstances under the guidance of Mrs. Russell, who has made many friends in Anaheim by her affable and pleasant manner, and the members of the new hive will welcome her whenever it is possible for her to visit them. SUGAR FACTORY MANAGER H. S. Hadsell was this week appointed by the directors of the Anaheim sugar factory to be manager of that enterprise. The appointment is one eminently fit to be made, not alone for his competency and business-like qualities, but for the fact that he knows more than any other man the details of the work incident to the establishment of the factory here. It comes as a reward it, so to speak, and Mr. Hadsell and the company are alike to be congratulated. Long before the public knew aught of the purpose of eastern sugar men to construct a sugar mill here, Mr. Hadsell had been here looking over the ground and holding confidential conferences with leading men and Local Dairy.

Being still of the opinion that it was some irresponsible person endeavoring to annoy her, she called the chief operator and informed her of the two calls. The chief operator advised her to turn in the alarm immediately. A number of the school trustees as well as other citizens of Fullerton express no doubt that the fire was of incendiary origin. The case was given the officers, and a thorough investigation is being made. A suspicious circumstance in connection with the fire is the fact that all window shades were down when the fire department arrived. Those shades are always raised in the evening after school, and the janitor states positively they were all raised when he left the building the evening before the fire. Friction was caused some time ago by objection being made by certain citizens to the policy of the school directors in operating free busses for students living in outside districts. From those points students are carried to and from school at expense of the district. Injunction proceedings were brought in court to end the service, but the school trustees were sustained. ACCIDENTALLY SHOT Albert Bittner, aged 20, son of N. A. Bittner, was seriously injured on Sunday by being struck in the face by several stray birdshot from a companion's gun while hunting quail in the riverbed south of town. Pete Wisser and George Hatfield were with him at the time. The shot was from the latter's gun, as he discharged it at a covey of birds. One shot entered the eye and others lodged in the face and hand. The injured man was brought to town and his wounds dressed. No permanent injury is anticipated. WELL RIG DESTROYED Well No. 37, of the Union lease, located on the east side of the company's property, was destroyed by fire which started about 2:30 on Monday afternoon. The fire originated in the engine room, according to best information, but the cause is not known. The rig, derrick and engine house were destroyed. The well has been a good producer for four years. The loss is $3000. ness-like qualities, but for the fact that he knows more than any other man the details of the work incident to the establishment of the factory here. It comes as a reward of merit, so to speak, and Mr. Hadsell and the company are alike to be congratulated. Long before the public knew of the purpose of eastern sugar men to construct a sugar mill here, Mr. Hadsell had been here looking over the ground and holding confidential conferences with leading men and citizens. He arranged a meeting between the New York capitalists and a number of influential citizens, a year ago, at which assurances mutually sat isfactory were given, that the factory would be erected, and that local people would subscribe for stock. An option upon 55 acres of land north of town, where work upon the factory buildings is now in progress, was secured. Everything seemed to be of the color of the rose, but when subscriptions were finally asked for, there followed a frost. Only the persistent determination and indomitable will of this man made the enterprise possible. Meetings of citizens were held, but while talk was cheap, subscriptions of money seemed woefully lacking. After repeated efforts to set the financial ball rolling had for the most part failed, Mr. Hadsell was upon the point of abandoning the enterprise, but he was assured that while the people were a bit backward in subscribing for stock, they would yet see the matter in its true light, and rise to the majesty of the situation. Hadsell persevered. He never lost faith. Things came his way. An incident of the campaign was the spirited bidding of Buena Park and Fullerton for the factory site. At one time, indeed, the subscriptions of these two sprightly towns exceeded that of this city. They were after the factory, and this journal said at that time that if they continued to show such enterprise they should have 1910 NUMBER 6 EVENTS INTEREST OF MACCALodge Memberal Meeting — fueled at Foot game--Anaheim Victorious — Bad Faith In Gets Feed Ladies of the world was instiMrs. Kate A. of the order. oes of the Maca fraternal beg life protectd has a meming established ances. of the protecwoman's societhe state insur- the factory. Local subscriptions came pouring in, until a large sum had been subscribed. That Mr. Hadsell should have been chosen manager of the enterprise, now that its buildings are going up and preparations making for sugar-production next season, is, as we say, eminently fitting. Better qualified than any man in the county for the position, his appointment guarantees the success of the sugar mill. Of that there is not a doubt. Moreover, it is well for this city that he is to remain here. More men like Hadsell here, and we should have a growing and progressive town. THIS MAN HAD A BIG FEED Local Diner-Out Enjoyed an Expensive Spread A well-known local business man who enjoys a good dinner along with the best of them was some time ago in Los Angeles and met an old friend from the east; who promptly invited him to dinner. With the friend was a representative of the Austrian government, who was in California investigating the wine industry.

With the friend was a representative of the Austrian government, who was in California investigating the wine industry. The local man accepted the invitation, and having been presented to the Austrian, was informed that gentleman was doing the honors. They proceeded to the leading restaurant in town, where the Austrian said to the proprietor: "Let me see your wine cellar," The two disappeared down a winding pair of stairs, and after a half hour's absence they returned, the Austrian all smiles and the restaurant man bowing and scraping his feet to beat the band. Dinner was served to eight in a private dining-room upstairs, and when the bill was presented to him it amounted to $175. "The Austrian government pays for it," the host said with a smile. MINUTES OF WATER BOARD Proceedings of the Meeting Held on Saturday Afternoon The board of directors of A.U.W. Co. met in regular session on above date, all members present except Drake and McLauchlin. On motion of Sherwood the secretary was instructed to notify Zanjero Stone and the parties along branch ditch above O. H. Schumacher's property that those who lift gates without permission and allow water to run down the ditch will be held responsible for damages. A communication was received from Amalgamated Oil Co. advising depth reached at the well located upon property leased from the company, and also stating the formations recently bored through. The letter was placed on file. A communication was received from C. C. Chapman stating that gates recently constructed at his property were unsatisfactory, and requesting that the defects be remedied. The superintendent was instructed to overcome the defects and provide satisfactory service. A request for information regarding right of way for ditches at Yorba reservoir from the Janss Co. was referred to Engineer Kellogg. A complaint from the Bastanchury ranch company regarding damage to their property by water. There was no quorum present at the regular meeting of the chamber of commerce directors on Monday evening, consequently no official business could be transacted. The recent high-handed and outrageous action of the city trustees of Fullerton in purchasing a tract of land and establishing a dumping ground almost under the nose of Anaheim was introduced and discussed by members present, and although no official action could be taken it was agreed that something should be done to prevent the nuisance if possible. The tract is situated just north of the bridge crossing the sandwash, and, according to City Engineer Steward, is just 1560 feet from the corporate limits of Anaheim. The meeting of the associated chambers of commerce of Orange county will be held in Anaheim on Wednesday evening, November 30. One of the most interseting features of this meeting will be an elegant turkey dinner (or supper) which will be served at the Germania cafe on East Center street. The proposition of inviting the people living east of the San Gabriel river to sever their connection with Los Angeles and join Orange county will be taken up. Also the recent proposition of the Home telephone company which promised the Anaheim chamber of commerce that they would give free switching service throughout the entire county if the city of Orange would grant them the privilege of doing business in that town. This matter has been referred to the associated chambers of commerce and will be discussed at this meeting. Several other subjects of importance will be taken up. Chairman Weisel who was present just long enough to announce that he was absent suggested a meeting next Monday evening, as he will probably have some interesting hotel literature to submit. After discussing several other subjects unofficially the members present adjourned. HAD FAITH IN THE TOWN H. Deutsch was in town from Los Angeles on Saturday looking after his extensive property interests. Mr. Deutsch is 78 years of age, and is as active and energetic as many men of half his years. During the boom of 1886 he purchased fifteen acres in the heart of the town, and with the subsidence of the speculative area found his holding reduced in comparative value. He never despaired of for the fact than any other work incident of the factory reward of meritorious.

A request for information regarding right of way for ditches at Yorba reservoir from the Janss Co. was referred to Engineer Kellogg. A complaint from the Bastanchury ranch company regarding damage to their property by waste water was referred to the ditch committee to investigate and report. A communication was received from Trautwein & Cavin requesting information regarding the 90 h.p. Western engine which the company used at plant No. 1 previous to installation of electric power, and which is now for sale. On motion the secretary was instructed to obtain required information from the superintendent, advise Trautwein & Cavin and to state terms of sale. J. A. Smith and others appeared before board and requested the present open ditch running south on their properties from main canal be replaced by a cement pipe line. On motion the ditch committee was instructed to investigate the matter, also to employ an engineer to ascertain the best course to pursue to serve best the interests of all. Directors Hale and Porter were appointed a committee to formulate and submit plans for improvements to the north branch ditch. H. S. Armstrong, Secretary. "THE LOVERS' DILEMMA" On Thursday evening, Dec. 1, the Knights of Pythias will present the three-act comedy, "The Lovers' Dilemma," at the opera-house. Rehearsals are now in progress. An evening of unalloyed enjoyment is looked forward to. The comedy will be followed by a grand ball. Tickets are on sale at the Mission candy store. Admission, 50 cents. HAD FAITH IN THE TOWN H. Deutsch was in town from Los Angeles on Saturday looking after his extensive property interests. Mr. Deutsch is 78 years of age, and is as active and energetic as many men of half his years. During the boom of 1886 he purchased fifteen acres in the heart of the town, and with the subsidence of the speculative area found his holding reduced in comparative value. He never despaired of its intrinsic worth, and held on to it with grim tenacity until today it has gone by leaps and bounds over its original cost. He has had many flattering offers for his holding, but is still of the opinion the property is valuable, and it will take money to buy it. "What do you think of Anaheim?" he was asked. "What do I think of Anaheim?" he replied. "I think better of the town than ever, and I always had faith in the town. When the boom broke I found myself in possession of considerable property here, and all paid for. Had it not been for that fact, I should probably have let it go. But I always had faith in Anaheim, and now I regard my buy as one of the best I ever made." EBELL NOTES The next meeting, Dec. 3, 2:30 p.m. at the highschool will be entertaining and instructive. Everybody will have a quotation from Shakespeare. The returned delegates from the San Bernardino convention will spread the enthusiasm they have gained. The German section will demonstrate their work of the last few weeks, hoping to entertain and please the society for a few minutes. The travel section met on Wednesday, Nov. 16, reading a lecture on Petersburg. They decided to look up material on Russian history, literature, etc., and bring it to the class at next meeting, Dec. 7, 1910, at the library.
