NEW SEEDS AND PLANTS FOR THE NEW YEAR DISTRIBUTION IN PROGRESS AT AGRICULTURAL EXPERIMENT STATION List of Hardy Flowering Plants and Garden Vegetables from Which Selections May Be Made—New Sweet Pea and Poppy Plants—Stringless Bean, Breakfast Radish and Other Vegetables Appealing to Progressive Farmers—How to Get Them Prof. E. J. Wickson of the agricultural experiment station at Berkeley has favored us with the following communication regarding the annual distribution of seeds and plants now in progress at the station. The professor's letter is commended to the careful perusal of our farmer friends, who should avail themselves of the opportunity of procuring samples of the new seeds and plants referred to. Prof. Wickson has associated with him in the distribution, R. E. Mansell. The communication is as follows: The seed and plant distribution of the station is assuming new phases and is becoming specialized in its purposes because those in charge of production it had a good deal of popularity for several years. In Europe it is still highly prized and much used, but for some reason it is not widely grown in the gardens of California notwithstanding the fact that its development here is perhaps better than in any other place. We believe that the reason why this charming flower is not more frequently seen in gardens nowadays, is because there is a large number of people who are not conversant with the plant and its merits. We hope to partially overcome this cause by now offering well grown seed of a good variety at practically the cost of postage, and this should bring this showy plant to the notice of many people to whom it is a stranger. The variety "Beauty" is quite a hardy plant, grows in a dense mat to about 12' to 16 inches in height, with about an equal spread, and produces flowers of a delightful pink color, and of considerable fragrance in simply astounding numbers over a prolonged period of time. For the edging of borders and walks, for making clumps in mixed borders, for planting formal beds, for making a showy display on the area between the sidewalk and curb or for use in window boxes, the cupid sweet pea is a really splendid plant. The stock we offer is particularly robust and productive of flowers. Seeds, 5c per packet, postpaid. Garden Vegetables LOCAL LIVE WEEK OF WEEK UNIFORM KNIGHTS WIDE COMPANY Met on Monday Evening led to Withdraw from Company—Local Knightity of Company 25 charge — Bishop John Class of Novitiates—Trouble Again Smuggle Thirty-five members of Uniform Rank, Knightly assembled at the opera day evening and voted to withdraw from Company Angeles, and to form a ny in this city to be knpany 26. At a meeting 25 held in Los Angeles ening 64 local members were granted withdrawal tition signed by 74 local ready for presentation ers asking for the insti new company in this city. The reason for withdrawfact that local members cult to meet with the cew weekly drills in Los An fessor's letter is commended to the careful perusal of our farmer friends, who should avail themselves of the opportunity of procuring samples of the new seeds and plants referred to. Prof. Wickson has associated with him in the distribution, R. E. Mansell. The communication is as follows: The seed and plant distribution of the station is assuming new phases and is becoming specialized in its purposes because those in charge of different divisions of plant industry are undertaking to supply individuals, who undertake cooperation with them in plant testing, the seeds or plants which are necessary to start the growths. In this line of work special distributions have been made by our cereal, horticultural and viticultural divisions and, more recently, our division of agricultural education has undertaken wide distribution of seed for use in school gardens when the local teachers comply with the conditions which are prescribed. These separate undertakings may reduce somewhat the general distribution to all who apply in accordance with the terms of this series of announcements, but still the interest in this wider work is well maintained. The weak point in the distribution is that too many recipients forget the obligation they assume, viz., to report to us the results of their trials of the plants which we introduce to them. We desire to know of both successes and failures, of both value and worthlessness found in the plant in order that their behavior in the hands of our cooperating experimenters may be clearly made out. We require the applicant to pay a small amount for each article, partly to bear the cost of collection and distribution, but chiefly as a guaranty that he has not merely an idle desire for what can be had for nothing, but intends to make trial for a definite end and will report results to us. As the year has proved so scant of early rainfall, field seeds, which for the most part require early sowing to furnish a fair chance to determine value, are withdrawn and our offering restricted to garden plants, which have always met with wider welcome. Hardy Flowering Plants Papaver somniferum.—Double Red Opium Poppy.—The double red opium poppy is rarely grown in California but certainly deserves to be so, for it is one of the most brilliant and showy of our garden plants. Its flowers are of the brightest red color, of large size, produced in great in simply astounding numbers over a prolonged period of time. For the edging of borders and walks, for making clumps in mixed borders, for planting formal beds, for making a showy display on the area between the sidewalk and curb or for use in window boxes, the cupid sweet pea is a really splendid plant. The stock we offer is particularly robust and productive of flowers. Seeds, 5c per packet, postpaid. Garden Vegetables Stringless Green Pod Bean.—This is a bean whose claims to be considered better than other varieties of its type, depends chiefly upon one feature, the comparative stringless character of its pods. During some variety trials which were made at Berkeley some years ago, this variety came under our observation and the reality and value of its comparatively stringless nature was immediately recognized. A criticism could be made of the variety, however, because that in comparison with other kinds it was a somewhat shy bearer, and so for the last year or so we have bent out efforts to remedy this undesirable feature and to make it even more worthy of its name stringless. To call it the Stringless Green Pod is still a misnomer, but our strain is undoubtedly nearer stringless than other stocks which are upon the market, and in the point of productivity is the best which has come before our notice. Seeds, 5c per packet, postpaid. Rust-Proof Wax Butter Bean.—There has been upon the market for some time past, an excellent variety of Wax Butter Bean to which has been applied the name of rust proof. Knowing the value which immunity to rust would be in a wax butterbean, we some years ago made a variety test of beans, to determine amongst other things whether this variety deserved its name. The result of the test demonstrated that this particular kind, while not being rust proof by any manner of means, was nevertheless somewhat less susceptible to rust than were other sorts. Besides having a tendency to be rust resisting, it also had quite good bearing and cooking qualities to commend it, and so during the past year or so we have done some little breeding work in an endeavor to make its immunity to rust more pronounced. In this task we believe we have succeeded, and we think that the strain we are offering is superior in this respect than are those strains which company 26.

"Salvation is not a suce from a state of sinfulness ol perfection but it is Hardy Flowering Plants Papaver somniferum.—Double Red Opium Poppy.—The double red opium poppy is rarely grown in California but certainly deserves to be so, for it is one of the most brilliant and showy of our garden plants. Its flowers are of the brightest red color, of large size, produced in great abundance, and when the plants are massed together in large colonies an exceedingly gorgeous display is made. Its culture is of the easiest imaginable, for the mere broadcasting of the seed upon the surface of the ground during the late winter months will usually give one all the plants needed. Where possible, the seed should be sown where the plants are to flower, for this plant in common with other members of the poppy family, is somewhat impatient of transplanting. If the very best results are to be secured, the plants should be thinned out so that the individual plants are spaced about five or six inches from each other. The seed which we have available was kindly donated to us by A. H. Weber of Berkeley, who in his garden had a most glorious display of this showy flower, which attracted a good deal of attention and was universally admired. Seeds, 5c per packet, postpaid. Cupid Sweet Pea "Beauty".—The Cupid or Dwarf Sweet Pea is a flower which had its origin here in California. It was bred a number of years ago on the seed farms of the well-known firm, C. C. Morse & Co., San Francisco, and following its introduction on Page Eight nevertheless somewhat less susceptible to rust than were other sorts. Besides having a tendency to be rust resisting, it also had quite good bearing and cooking qualities to commend it, and so during the past year or so we have done some little breeding work in an endeavor to make its immunity to rust more pronounced. In this task we believe we have succeeded, and we think that the strain we are offering is superior in this respect than are those strains which are obtainable in the open market, although we make no claim that it is absolutely rust proof. Seeds, 5c per packet, postpaid. Radish, French Breakfast.—The variety of radish, which is known as "The French Breakfast," is without doubt one of the best, if not the very best, of all radishes. Its nice contrast of red and white color and its symmetry of form makes it particularly pleasing and appetizing in appearance, and if well grown its eating qualities are exceedingly good, being mild in flavor and crisp and succulent in texture. One matter regarding this radish should be borne in mind by the grower, and that is, that the quicker the growth the better will be the eating qualities of the roots. To ensure this desirable quick growth, one always should choose a warm, sunny spot with a fairly rich soil in which to sow the seeds, and if the soil can be made somewhat sandy, the roots will then develop quickly and come from the ground with a bright, clear skin unblemished by scab. The seed offered in this list is California raised, and is bred from a strain which attracted our attention. MERRY CHRISTMAS To all our readers every Gazette extends on this occasion A Merry Christmas. HEIM GAZETE ANAHEIM, CALIFORNIA, THURSDAY, DECEMBER 22, 1910 LOCAL LIVE WIRES OF WEEK’S NEWS UNIFORM KNIGHTS WILL ORGANIZE COMPANY HERE Met on Monday Evening and Decided to Withdraw from Los Angeles Company—Local Knights in Majority of Company 25 Ask for Discharge — Bishop Johnson Confirms Class of Novitiates—Sam Lee In Trouble Again Smuggling Opium Thirty-five members of Company 25 Uniform Rank, Knights of Pythias, assembled at the opera house on Monday evening and voted unanimously to withdraw from Company 25 of Los Angeles, and to form a new company in this city to be known as Company 26. At a meeting of Company 25 held in Los Angeles on Friday evening 64 local members asked for and were granted withdrawal cards. A petition signed by 74 local members is ready for presentation to headquarters asking for the installation of a new company in this city. The reason for withdrawing is the fact that local members find it difficult to meet with the company at its weekly drills in Los Angeles. At a recent meeting of Company 25 At a meeting of Company 25 held in Los Angeles on Friday evening 64 local members asked for and were granted withdrawal cards. A petition signed by 74 local members is ready for presentation to headquarters asking for the installation of a new company in this city. The reason for withdrawing is the fact that local members find it difficult to meet with the company at its weekly drills in Los Angeles. At a recent meeting of Company 25 Frank Tausch of this city was elected captain and B. T. Beale recorder. Local members of Company 25 are in the majority, numbering upward of 100, and among some the remoral of the entire company to this city was favored. However a majority were of opinion that it would show more brotherly feeling to permit the company to remain as at present, withdraw and form a new company here. This course was adopted, and Monday evening's meeting marked the culmination of the division of the company, which is one of the largest and best officered among uniform rank companies in Southern California. The new company will probably organize with 150 members. A meeting will be held as soon as announcement comes from headquarters, which is looked for in the course of a week or two. BISHOP JOHNSON HERE Confirms Novitiates at St. Michael's Episcopal Church Bishop Johnson confirmed a class of three young people at St. Michael's church on Sunday evening and after the confirmation delivered an inspiring address to a large congregation. He said in part: "Confirmation does not mean joining the church. Our theory is that a child is baptized into the church in infancy, that he is then instructed and trained until he is of sufficient intelligence to be held responsible for his own actions, and then in confirmation he ratifies and confirms theows made for him in baptism. "There is no magic gift in the laying on of hands, but Christ assures you through the bishop, His authorized representative, that the power of the Holy Ghost which every Christian needs, shall be yours when you claim it. "Salvation is not a sudden change from a state of sinfulness into one of perfection, but it is a gradual way the act says in Sec. 4. That the route in Southern California shall be "along the Pacific coast by the most direct and parcial routes, connecting the county seats of the several counties through which it passes and joining the centers of population together with such branch roads as may be necessary to connect therewith the several county seats lying east and west of such state highway." Under the law then the highway should run from Los Angeles, through Whittier, Fullerton, Anaheim Santa Ana and Oceanside to San Diego, thereby joining the centers of population, and connecting the county seats of these three Pacific coast counties. There would also be a branch high main highway. San Diego county way connecting Riverside with this people have already met and appointed a committee to look after the interests of the county in respect to the proper distribution of the money. May it not be well for Orange county to have such a committee? What about the county good roads? Mr. Eddy, secretary of the state good roads association, in a recent letter says in speaking of the time the state could do the proposed work: "It would be impossible for the state to complete such an undertaking and do it satisfactorily short of ten or more years, because of the difficulty in securing and hauling material." This will be too long to wait to begin our county good roads. Let us go ahead and leave out the stretches of road the state seemingly must under the highway act construct. By this method the good roads would be ready for use five to seven years earlier than by waiting for the state. Let us go ahead and have and use our good roads. A. A. MILLS. Anaheim, Dec. 19, 1910. RAILROAD GRADE STAKES Surveyors Run Line Joining Both Steam Roads A force of Santa Fe surveyors arrived on Thursday and proceeded to run a line joining that road with the Southern Pacific on Santa Ana street. Grade stakes were driven through the Ben Dauser property at the corner of Olive and Santa Ana streets. An option was taken upon the property some days ago, presumably for the railroad companies. The grade stakes describe a curve leaving the Santa Fe line a short distance with the largest haul made in town in several years past. As near as can be learned, $125 in cash and about $500 in checks was taken. The burglary was discovered at half past 8 o'clock on Sunday morning, when Will Hall entered his place of business, and found the safe cracked. The rear door was open and a stranger was walking about the place. He was ordered out, and an examination of the safe immediately made. Officers were at once notified and a search for the burglars began. The safe stood in the office of the establishment adjoining the front door. So skillfully was the job performed that not a pane of glass in the front show window was cracked, nor were bottles of liquor disturbed upon the shelves a few feet away. Two holes were drilled into the safe door, one near the combination, the other near the hinges. The safe was covered with wet blankets and robes found in the store by the burglars. Nitroglycerine was poured into the apertures and set off by aid of a fuse. An employee in Rameriz's restaurant two doors from the burglarized premises heard the noise of the explosion shortly after 4 o'clock. The restaurant closed its doors at 4 o'clock. After retiring he heard the explosion some little time thereafter. A lodger in Beale's rooming-house, across the way, also heard the explosion. He says it sounded like a distant peal of thunder. A drill, brace and bit, wires, a bar of soap and a tin can, evidently used to pour in the liquid, were found beside the shattered safe. The door hung by its lower hinge, and the interior was demolished. Suspicion attaches to two men who were in the place several times during the evening. On their first appearance one of them asked credit for two bottles of beer. On being refused, he later entered and made the purchase, paying for the liquor. The two men were again in the store, and probably made a haste examination of the premises. Entrance was effected by prying open the rear door with a Jimmy. Constable Kellenberger passed the place at half-past 3. He noticed nothing unusual, but it is thought that men were at work upon the safe at that hour. Lights were out, and the curtains of the front windows drawn. But for the fact that the store cashed a number of checks during the afternoon and evening, the burglars would have made a much larger haul. "There is no magic gift in the laying on of hands, but Christ assures you through the bishop, His authorized representative, that the power of the Holy Ghost which every Christian needs, shall be yours when you claim it. "Salvation is not a sudden change from a state of sinfulness into one of perfection, but it is a gradual growth of character toward our model, Jesus Christ. "The Bible will show you the way toward the attainment of this perfect christian character. To get from this book the help that we seek, we must not read it superficially, but we should try to get at the underlying principle. "Thus we can find three thoughts on the Sermon on the Mount: 1. That we must serve God in spirit, not merely obeying the letter of the law or observing the formalities of religion. 2. That we should practice the presence of God. Our prayers, our sins, our self-denials, should be kept secrets with Him. 3. That we should respect the independence of our fellow beings, not judging their actions, but living near to God that we are constantly aiding others toward a higher life." The text was taken from Ps. 119, verse 104. "Through Thy precepts I get understanding." MERRY CHRISTMAS To all our readers everywhere, The Gazette extends on this happy occasion A Merry Christmas. A force of Santa Fe surveyors arrived on Thursday and proceeded to run a line joining that road with the Southern Pacific on Santa Ana street. Grade stakes were driven through the Ben Dauer property at the corner of Olive and Santa Ana streets. An option was taken upon the property some days ago, presumably for the railroad companies. The grade stakes describe a curve leaving the Santa Fe line a short distance south of Broadway and extend to Santa Ana street at its intersection with Kroeger street. The purpose of the line is to join both roads. Tracks will be laid, thus affording the Southern Pacific an entry into the sugar factory grounds. It is said this will not operate against the construction of an electric railway line on Olive street by the Southern Pacific joining its tracks on Santa Ana street with the new line on Olive and continuing to the factory grounds. Petitions asking the Southern Pacific to ask the city council for a franchise to operate an electric railway on this line have been in circulation and numerously signed. This route affords the Southern Pacific its most advantageous right of way into the factory grounds, and eliminates the necessity for procuring expensive easements along other suggested routes. The Presbyterian Sunday school will have its Xmas exercises Friday night of this week. An excellent program is arranged, and with the Christmas tree everything is planned to give the members of the school an enjoyable time. Parents of the children and strangers are especially invited. Constable Kellenberger passed the place at half-past 3. He noticed nothing unusual, but it is thought the men were at work upon the safe at that hour. Lights were out, and the curtains of the front windows drawn. But for the fact that the store cashed a number of checks during the afternoon and evening, the burglars would have made a much larger haul. About $600 in checks were cashed, and $125 remained in the safe. The money and cheeks were taken. The smallest amount of money in many weeks remained in the safe when the place closed at midnight. Cashing of checks was heavy during the afternoon and evening. One gold and three silver watches and a pair of gold cuff-buttons were taken from the safe. Los Angeles police and neighboring officers were notified and a systematic search of the burglars is being made. The burglars are supposed to have headed for Los Angeles immediately after the robbery. Whether they had a rig hitched on the outskirts of town, or whether they walked out to Garden Grove or Cypress, is not as yet known. Marshal Simpson and his deputies were aware of the presence of the two burglars in town at 9 o'clock on Saturday night. Simpson, Kellenberger and Germain watched them until half-past 3 on Sunday morning, when the yggmen disappeared. The two men were in town on Wednesday evening of last week and also on the preceding Saturday night On both occasions they entered the ZETTE MARCH 1910 NUMBER 10 BURGLARIZED PREMISES, BUT BEING CLOSELY WATCHED, MADE NO EFFORT TO ROB THE SAFE. Simpson and Hall went in an auto early on Sunday morning to Santa Fe Springs, scouring the country for the burglars. Kellenberger and Germain searched in other directions, and Sheriff Lacy and his deputies scoured the country to the south. Walls went to Los Angeles, where the police, having been notified, searched the city. No trace of the men was found. It is reported the two burglars after blowing the safe went to a room which they had rented at a Center-street lodging-house and remained there until 10 o'clock, when they took a train out of town. A roomer in an adjoining room heard them talking about procuring sandwiches at 11 o'clock. They went out, and he did not hear them return. The chambermaid knocked on their door shortly before 10 o'clock on Sunday morning. They answered they would be out soon. When she again went to their room at 2 o'clock in the afternoon they had gone.

The board will meet again this evening in regular session, and will determine the date of election, which will probably be held on Monday, January 16. All the members of the board were present, namely, Trustees Rust, Nebelung, Stock, Gates and Becker. The resolution calling for a bond election passed unanimously. The resolution as prepared by City Attorneys. GIVES ANAHEIM A BOOST Former Visitor Sees Many Notable Improvements Here Edward Wenzel, a recent arrival in town from San Francisco has been the guest of Mrs. A. Frohling, his aunt for the past few weeks. Anaheim was the home of his mother in the year 1858 and Mr. Wenzel comes to bring regards from his mother to all old-timers who may still remember her. He notes a marked improvement in the city and especially the newly paved streets and the many beautiful homes which have been erected since his last visit about three years ago. That property values are bound to double and that the city will have a population of at least 10,000 ebore another ten years have passed, is his belief. To the stranger the improvements are more appreciated, as he sees the transformation all at once. The opening of the Panama canal will bring about great changes throughout the state of California, and Anaheim with its ideal climate will prove a drawing card for many of the new comers who will be brought over from Europe by the all-water route. The new Adelheid baths are a fine acquisition in the line of progress, and Anaheim can be proud of the enterprising people who have built this health-preserving establishment. SAM LEE AGAIN IN TOILS Accused of Running an Underground Smuggling Station Federal officials of Los Angeles have been extremely active the past week or two in unearthing and arresting the leaders of a ring of Chinese smugglers, which operated with Hongkong as a basis. Among those gathered into the net last Thursday were Jose Collejas and Wong Wing Hing, known here as Sam Lee, the keeper of a small Chinese store. Collejas is accused of having been one of the agents of the ring of which Sam Lee is said to have had charge, and to have operated with the assistance of Quan Hong a polytechnic highschool student. Sam Lee is said to have conducted a station of "underground system," which was operated by way of the Mexican border. He is alleged to be out soon. When she again went to their room at 2 o'clock in the afternoon they had gone. All the members of the board were present, namely, Trustees Rust, Nebelung, Stock, Gates and Becker. The resolution calling for a bond election passed unanimously. The resolution as prepared by City Attorney Melrose was read by City Clerk Merritt. It recites the fact that the cost of the proposed betterments is too great to be borne by the ordinary income of the city, and that bonds are therefore necessary. The sewer system includes the acquisition of a sewer farm and necessary pipe line thereto, also all the other necessary appliances for a thoroughly up-to-date system. The document will be found printed in full upon another page. Trustee Stock moved the adoption of the resolution. It was seconded by Trustee Nebelung, and carried by the full vote of the board. A general discussion followed, at which it was decided to hold the election at as early a date as possible. The vote will probably be had Monday, January 16. The bonds will run 40 years and will bear 5 per cent interest, payable semi-annually. The board decided to purchase a Menzie one-horse pick-up street sweeper at a cost of $325. The sweeper contains two cans, but an additional ten cans were included in the buy. The abstract title and guarantee company of Santa Ana sent in a communication asking the board to adopt resolutions to be placed on record authorizing the vacation of certain alleys in the Del Campo tract, to conform to the new city map. The action was taken with a reservation for sewers in the alleys designated. Three deeds were submitted for sewers by property owners, and the same were accepted and filed. In reference to widening Lemon and Palm streets, deeds were received from property owners. The matter was laid over until such a time as deeds have been received from all property owners. The following building permits were granted: D. J. Fish, $1500 residence, Broadway; M. H. Litten, $50 addition to building on Olive; The board adjourned to meet again on Thursday night, Dec. 22, when the election notice will be taken up and Among those gathered into the net last Thursday were Jose Collejas and Wong Wing Hing, known here as Sam Lee, the keeper of a small Chinese store. Collejas is accused of having been one of the agents of the ring of which Sam Lee is said to have had charge, and to have operated with the assistance of Quan Hong a polytechnic high school student. Sam Lee is said to have conducted a station of "underground system," which was operated by way of the Mexican border. He is alleged to have provided a hiding place for both coolles and opium while the officers were active, and to have watched for an opportunity to distribute both the orientals and the drug. Sam Lee, Wong Sing Tai and Quan Heng were taken before Commissioner Van Dyke at Los Angeles on Friday for arraignment. The bail of the former two was fixed at $2500 each and Quan's bond at $1000. Their bonds will be furnished. They have claims on members of their race and whose means are large. Colleja is said to have received a trunk containing $5000 worth of opium by express. If he had not been taken into custody he would undoubtedly have made an enormous profit in parceling it out, as opium can be procured only with difficulty.

THE PHILATHIANS MEET The Philathia class of the Presbyterian Sunday school enjoyed a Christmas party last Friday night at the home of the teacher, Mrs. Mitchell, 118 N. Olive street. Sixteen members of the class were present. One of the main features of the evening was an old-fashioned Christmas tree upon which was suspended numerous gifts for the various members. Many a gladsome surprise met them as the packages were opened. Mrs. Mitchell was the recipient of a beautiful chafing dish from the class as a token of love and esteem. Delicious refreshments were served, and after a delightful evening spent together all went home feeling that the Christmas time is the best time of all. SIR KNIGHTS, ATTENTION Knight Templar Christmas observance will be held in the Masonic Temple, Santa Ana, Dec. 26, at 9 a.m. sharp. The presence of every Sir Knight is earnestly desired. E. H.
