CITY SEWER SYSTEM NEED OF THE HOUR BUSINESS ENTERPRISE AS WELL AS PUBLIC HEALTH DEMAND IT Cannery and Laundry Up Against Hard Problems in Dealing With Waste Water, and Ask for Relief Before Enlarging Plants—Unusual Conditions of Healthfulness Have Prevented Epidemic in Past—Eighteen Miles of Sewers and Farm It seems wise to call the attention of the voters once more to the necessity of a complete sewer system for our growing city. While this phase of the question has been pretty thoroughly discussed and the almost universal decision has been that we need a sewer system and need it badly, we believe that the situation is something like this: Anaheim must have a sewer system and have it at the earliest practical date or else lose out in its race with the many enterprising towns in Southern California which have already built or are now making rapid strides towards the completion of sanitary sewers. Our needs are present and future. If we never expected to materially enlarge our population or industrial enterprises, the present unsanitary condition would and does demand a larger eighteen miles of sewer pipe, placing a lateral within easy reach of nearly every house in the city and alongside of almost every vacant lot. The location of the main pipes is such that every foot of land within the city limits can, when occasion demands, be connected to the present outfall with the expenditure of comparatively small sums. The plans call for the purchase and equipment of a first class sewer farm large enough for the successful disposal of the city sewage for a long time in the future. The proper management of which will be a source of revenue to the city. They call for the placing of the pipes deep enough to sewer any cellar in the residence portion of the city and deep enough in the business part of the town to accommodate any basement which may be constructed. The location of the pipes is such in the alleys and across private property that our beautiful paved streets will not be disturbed except to cross the same in a few places. In short the trustees have planned for the construction of a complete up-to-date sewer system—first-class in every particular. Shall Anaheim have such a system? The answer to that question seems to be up to the voters of this city. The council have gone as far as they can in the matter, and are waiting for the approval of the citizens upon what has been done, and the opportunity to go ahead and carry out their larger plans for the city. Such will cost $20,000.00 ly, we believe that the situation is something like this: Anaheim must have a sewer system and have it at the earliest practical date or else lose out in its race with the many enterprising towns in Southern California which have already built or are now making rapid strides towards the completion of sanitary sewers. Our needs are present and future. If we never expected to materially enlarge our population or industrial enterprises, the present unsanitary condition would and does demand a remedy. Our local industries are allowed to continue only upon the promise of a speedy remedy. The laundry, during the past year has had to repeatedly plead its cause before the city authorities because of the protest of citizens against the unsanitary conditions incident to the disposal of the waste water. One device after another has been tried until the proprietors have said to the city authorities close us up if you must we can do no more than we are doing. The cannery finds the disposal of its waste water a serious problem and the present plans for a greatly enlarged plant and a much longer canning season will be possible only by the cooperation of the city in the building of a sewer system. The property owners located near the brewery as well as the railroad authorities have said emphatically that the waste water nuisance there must be abated. And civil action against the proprietors has been withheld only because of the promise of a complete remedy in the speedy installation of a sewer system. To do nothing now means to seriously cripple these enterprises and to effectively discourage the establishment of any new ones. The sum we are now spending annually in the construction of cesspools alone would go a long way towards the payment of the interest on the proposed bonds. Our abundance of sunshine and general healthful climatic conditions may go a long way towards neutralizing unsanitary conditions incident to lax disposal of house sewage but every one of these breeding places for disease exact some toll from the public health even though there may not be for some years yet an epidemic of fever or diphtheria that would bring us up standing, as they say. The time has come when the unsightly and dangerous open vault and the less evident but none the less dangerous over-flowing cesspool must go from our city. There is but one way to permanently abate these nuisances and that is to provide for the disposal of all house sewage through the modern se- places. In short the trustees have planned for the construction of a complete up-to-date sewer system—first-class in every particular. Shall Anaheim have such a system? The answer to that question seems to be up to the voters of this city. The council have gone as far as they can in the matter, and are waiting for the approval of the citizens upon what has been done, and the opportunity to go ahead and carry out their larger plans for the city. Such a system will cost money; $90,000.00 looks like a goodly sum. Is it worth it? Will the improved public health, the wider opportunity for industrial development, and the more forceful invitation which we can extend to the inquiring multitudes to come and make their home with us. Will these be adequate recompense? We believe that any one of these items taken by itself is adequate reason for the proposed expenditures. Taken together they form an unanswerable argument for speedy action. We ask not for just a bare two-thirds majority. That may make possible the carrying out of the work. But many eyes are turned our way. The vote upon a bond issue of this character will be taken by the outside world as an index to the enterprise and public spirit of our citizens. Do not stay at home basking in the peaceful assurance that the bonds will carry without your vote. Begin now and talk it up. Boost. Get out your neighbor on election day and all his relatives. Cast your vote for the proposition, and let us roll up such a majority for the bonds that the people outside will say again as they have often said of late, "Anaheim is going some." MASS MEETING CALLED To Discuss New Sewer System and Extension to Lighting Plant Anaheim, Cal., Jan. 18, 1911. To the Citizens of Anaheim, Cal.: We, the undersigned, appointed by the Anaheim Retail Merchants Association to act as a committee on sewer, hereby urgently and respectfully request the citizens of Anaheim to be present at a mass meeting to be held on Monday, January 23d, 1911, at 8 p.m., in the library building, to consider the plans and specifications for a complete sewer system as proposed by the city trustees and outlined by Engineer O. E. Steward, also the proposed addition to the electric light and water plant. Very respectfully, (Signed) J. Frederick Ahlborn, Audubon Val- Krick assisted in erations. A. A.

The time has come when the unsightly and dangerous open vault and the less evident but none the less dangerous over-flowing cesspool must go from our city. There is but one way to permanently abate these nuisances and that is to provide for the disposal of all house sewage through the modern sewer system. And that often overworked word "modern" is not so much out of place as it may at first seem in this particular because the sanitary sewers as they are at present universally installed are of comparatively recent development. Sewers have been in use for many years but their primary object was the removal of storm water from the streets and to keep the yards and basements dry. Gradually house sewage was permitted to flow into the pipes and was quite successfully disposed of by cities which were favorably located, near large bodies of water or flowing streams. But the separate sanitary sewer as at present constructed is a development of quite recent years. Its distinctive features are: comparatively small pipes, automatic flush tanks at the upper end of each lateral, and ventilation through the house connections. So well are these features adapted to the needs of Southern California cities that a properly constructed system needs very rarely to be disturbed and the offensive and dangerous sewer gas problem is a thing of the past. The proposed sewer system for our city calls for the construction of ov- CONTRABAND CELESTIALS Two Rounded Up in the Foothills East of Yorba Two contraband Chinese were taken into custody in the foothills east of Yorba on Sunday night by Local Immigration Inspector Bell of Santa Ana and Santos Carrisosa. They were taken into court and ordered deported. They were taken to Los Angeles and on Wednesday were conducted by Marshal Youngworth to San Francisco, where they depart today on a steamer bound for their native land. The Chinese were well supplied with eatables, which is thought were supplied from this city. Officers are scouring the country be tween Orange county and Tia Juana in search of a band of contraband chinks headed this way. E. B. Douglas and a bunch of boy scouts went to Fullerton on Tuesday evening for an indoor baseball and basketball game. The baseball game was a tie 9-9, and the basketball was won by Fullerton 16-1. ANAHEIM, CALIFORNIA, THURSDAY, JANUARY 19, 1911 COMMERCE DIRECTORS ENDORSE OIL MEN POINTED RESOLUTIONS ADOPTED BY CHAMBER OF COMMERCE Railroad Committee Still After Better Service on Santa Fe—Numerous Communications Received From Would-be Investors and Home-Seekers—Iowa Man Looking for Location for a Bank—San Franciscans Want to Move Here—Associated Chambers Meet at Buena Park The board of directors of the chamber of commerce met in regular session on Monday evening with Vice-President Renner and Messrs. Mills, Eygabroad and Holcomb present. J. W. Duckworth on invitation of the board also took a hand and lifted his voice in the proceedings, and P. H. Krick assisted in some of the deliberations. A. A. Mills, chairman of the railroad committee, reported that he was still working with the Santa Fe officials. The 8:20 a.m. does not carry mail, and there is also a lengthy gap in the afternoon service. Postmaster Duckworth suggested that the committee be continued and the matter held in abeyance until after his conference with the chief clerk of the postoffice department at Los Angeles. He thought the matter improvement of oil mining lands and the oil mining industry, a remedial act of congress should be immediately passed, under which all such boona fide claims located or developed or undergoing development in good faith may be patented. We recommend that a committee of seven be created, three of which shall be elected by ballot by this meeting, and one appointed by each of the following: California Oilmen Association, Western Oil Producers Association, Kern County Board of Trade, and Coalinga Chamber of Commerce, and that such committee shall have general authority as the representatives of the oil industry of this state to take all such steps and proceedings as shall be necessary to carry into effect the foregoing resolution, and to obtain the relief so urgently needed by the oil industry and to present said matters to the land department, to the president, and to congress, with full authority so to do. The associated chambers of commerce of Orange county will meet at Buena Park on Wednesday, January 25, and an effort will be made to take a goodly delegation over. ALL WILL GET ACQUAINTED Merchants Planning Auto Trip for Wednesday Next One hundred members of the Merchants' Association of Anaheim and other friends will participate in their first Get-Acquainted Trip on Wednes Krick assisted in some of the deliberations. A. A. Mills, chairman of the railroad committee, reported that he was still working with the Santa Fe officials. The 8:20 a.m. does not carry mail, and there is also a lengthy gap in the afternoon service. Postmaster Duckworth suggested that the committee be continued and the matter held in abeyance until after his conference with the chief clerk of the postoffice department at Los Angeles. He thought the matter could be adjusted and better service secured without much difficulty. Numerous letters of inquiry were received from investors and home-seekers in the eastern and middle-states who are being attracted to Southern California by its equable climate and business advantages. Among them was one from S. J. Johnson of Sioux City, Iowa, who wants to locate here with the ultimate intention of establishing a bank. Mr. Johnson is an old-time business associate and acquaintance of Mr. Eygabroad, and his communication was turned over to that gentleman for reply. Robert Oldfelder of San Francisco was also an inquirer. Mr. Oldfelder is an expert machinist and he and a number of his friends are contemplating moving their families to Anaheim. He is particularly interested in sugar plant construction. A communication from the California Oil Men's Washington delegation asking the endorsement of the chamber of commerce was read and the following resolution adopted in response thereto. It was requested that it be published in the Anaheim papers and given as much publicity as possible; Whereas, the mineral oil lands are subject to location under the placer mining laws and such lands have been almost universally located by an association of eight persons, locating and developing claims of 160 acres each; and Whereas, certain customs and procedures have been followed for the past ten years or more in the location, development and patenting of oil lands; and Whereas, these customs and procedures have been approved by the commissioner of the general land office in thousands of instances through the issuance of patents to said land, and Whereas, through the approval of said customs and procedures by the commissioner of the general land office for a long period of time they have been reviewed or law. merce of Orange county will meet at Buena Park on Wednesday, January 25, and an effort will be made to take a goodly delegation over. ALL WILL GET ACQUAINTED Merchants Planning Auto Trip for Wednesday Next One hundred members of the Merchants' Association of Anaheim and other friends will participate in their first Get-Acquainted Trip on Wednesday next. The purpose is to meet citizens of neighboring communities, many of whom trade extensively in this city, and to show them not only that their visits to the best town in Orange county are appreciated, but that we want them to come again, bring their friends and stay longer. Anaheim's latch string hangs without to these people. They are always welcome and will be made more so in future, if that be possible. The party will meet at the postoffice promptly at 9 o'clock. Start will be made at 9:30 sharp. Olive will be reached at 10. Orange will be reached at 10:30. The party will pass through Santa Ana at 11 o'clock. Bolsa will be reached at 11:30, and Huntington Beach at 12. Two hours will be spent at Huntington Beach, and dinner will be served. The beach will be left at 2 and Smeltzer will be reached at 2:30, Westminster at 3, Garden Grove at 4, and home again at 5. Short stops will be made at Olive, Orange, Bolsa, Smeltzer, Westminster and Garden Grove. Brief addresses will be made, and everybody will get acquainted. The autos will be decorated with streamers bearing the inscription, "Anaheim Merchants' Association," and appropriate badges will be worn by members of the party. The association desires that all members report immediately whether they will accompany the party, so that proper accommodations may be made. It is the association's idea that the day be made memorable in the history of get-acquainted trips and that it may be long remembered by those participating as well as by citizens of the communities which will be visited. Judge Howard had eighteen hoboes before him on Monday morning on charges of vagrancy. They were each sentenced to thirty days in the county jail, and were taken to Santa Ana on the noon motor. C. Schindler, who was awarded the contract for erecting the buildings, reports satisfactory progress, and expects to be able to deliver the finished buildings to the directors on April 1st, which is the limitation of the time granted him. Mr. Schindler employs from 25 to 50 men per day, as the exigencies of the work demand, and at present has about 35 men on the job. Mr. Egge employs 25 men in his department of the construction work, making a total force of 60 men at present engaged on the buildings. The last consignment of the structural steel, which has been shipped in installments, will arrive this week, and very soon the steel skeletons will flaunt their gigantic ribs in the sky, showing the dimensions of the big buildings. The main building of the factory is 60x400 feet in dimensions, with a height of three, and in part, four stories. Another building comprises the boiler house, machine shop, limestone and pulp room, and will be 40x275 ft. in dimensions. At the present time a railway switch is run lengthwise through the main building and carloads of structural material are unloaded in its interior. When the plant begins active operations on July 1st it will slice and transform into toothsome sugar 630 tons of beets per day. The Orange county beet will yield from 18 to 20 per cent of its weight in sugar. The entire state of California yields an average of 17.6 per cent, and for the United States the average is 16.1 per cent. The Orange county beet will yield, therefore, at least three percent more sugar than the eastern beet. Another fact which will insure the prosperity of this factory is that the beet-producing territory in Orange county never wears out. In eastern fields two successive crops are all that can be raised whereas in Orange county sugar beets have been grown on the same soil for seven successive years without in the least effecting the yield. These are the reasons why manufacturers of sugar are seeking locations in this territory, and why Orange county will ultimately become one of the greatest sugar producing sections of the world. Twenty-six carloads of machinery for the use of this factory are now on the road and will arrive here the latter part of this week or the first part of this week or the first part of this week or the first part of this week or the first part of this week or the first part of this week or the first part of this week or the first part of this week or the first part of this week or the first part of this week or the first part of this week or the first part of this week or the first part of this week or past ten years or more in the location, development and patenting of oil lands; and Whereas, these customs and procedures have been approved by the commissioner of the general land office in thousands of instances through the issuance of patents to said land, and Whereas, through the approval of said customs and procedures by the commissioner of the general land office for a long period of time they came to be recognized as law and were upheld as law by the courts of California; and Whereas, many oil claims have been located and their development proceeded to in accordance with these customs and procedures; and Whereas, the land department recently held that these customs and procedures that have prevailed and have been accepted as law for many years are not in accordance with the rules and regulations of the department, thus endangering many legitimate oil enterprises initiated in good faith, and in accordance with established customs and procedures, now therefore, be it Resolved, that it is the sense of the convention that the rulings of the land department in relation to the oil mineral lands of the country should be more consistent with the decisions of the courts as then understood, and to that end that bona fide claims acquired and developed in good faith under such laws and decisions and the rulings of the department, should be validated and confirmed; and in order to remove all doubt and uncertainty and to encourage the development and im- THE BOND ELECTION Official Announcement Made in Our Advertising Columns Printed upon the seventh page of this issue will be found Ordinance No. 229 calling a bond election to be held in this city on Monday, Jan. 30, for voting upon the issuance of bonds in the amount of $98,500 for municipal betterments. Of this amount $90,000 is for constructing a sewer system and acquiring a sewer farm, and $8,-500 is for necessary additions to the city's electric lighting plant. Both are entitled to the support of progressive citizens; and both should receive the approval of voters. A sewer system is demanded by the rapid growth of the city, and the town has outgrown its present lighting plant. Additions are needed, and bonds for this purpose should carry. The ordinance is commended to the careful perusal of our readers. It contains full information which all good citizens should become acquainted with, and nothing will so successfully conduce to this end than a careful reading of the ordinance. Read it, and on election day go to the polls, vote for the improvement bonds and get your neighbor to do likewise. Orange county sugar beets have been grown on the same soil for seven successive years without in the least effecting the yield. These are the reasons why manufacturers of sugar are seeking locations in this territory, and why Orange county will ultimately become one of the greatest sugar producing sections of the world. Twenty-six carloads of machinery for the use of this factory are now on the road and will arrive here the latter part of this week or the first of next. Mr. Schindler says they are building from the ground up, and the lower stories will be completed so the machinery can be installed, while they are still working on the upper stories. The Anaheim Sugar Company will slice at least 600 tons of beets per day for a period of four months, or 104 working days of each year. This will mean, figuring on a basis of the lowest percentage, 110 tons of sugar per day, or 11,440 for the season which, reduced to pounds, aggregate 22,880,000. UNCLAIMED LETTERS Mrs. S. M.

A. Mills. The "State Highways Act" is uppermost now. The exact location of the roads under this act is the rub. Extreme views are held by different persons on the interpretation of the law. A party high in road affairs said that the state engineering department could locate them anywhere within the state, as that would be on the Pacific coast. The act itself as applied to our section says that it must be located "along the Pacific coast by the most direct and practicable 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." Now, a reasonable interpretation of this act would mean that the Pacific coast would be Los Angeles, Orange and San Diego counties. Any other interpretation would be exceedingly strained and unreasonable. Let us assume that the reasonable method is to be pursued and strongly insist that such shall be the case. We have no reason to presume otherwise. DEATH THE REAPER SWINGS HIS SCYTHE MRS. ELIZAETH SCHUMACHER CALLED TO LONG REST Wife of Well-known Citizen Breathes Her Last After Long Illness—Mrs. Katie Requarth Succumbs to Peritonitis—Mrs. Alice E. Susmil Dies of Apoplexy—Christian Science Services Over Remains—Carrie McClellan Dies at Olinda of Diphtheria Death has been active during the week, and five homes have been made desolate by his visits. Mrs. Elizabeth Schumacher, wife of J. L. Schumacher, died at her home on West Center street on Sunday afternoon, after a long illness due to diabetes. She was a native of Germany and was aged 58 years, 8 months and 9 days. She leaves a husband and seven children, August C., Mrs. J. A. Eyman, John L. Jr., Jacob E., Miss Anna B. Schumacher, Max H. and David H. Mrs. Schumacher came to America from Germany in 1869, and lived for a time in New York. She was married to J. L. Schumacher in New York in 1877. The family came to Anaheim in 1886 and have since resided here. Funeral services were held from the German Methodist church at 2:30. who was awarded the setting the buildings, early progress, and exerted to deliver the finish of the construction. Mr. Schindler employs 50 men per day, as of the work demand, as about 35 men on large employs 25 men out of the construction. A total force of 60 engaged on the building consignment of the which has been shipped, will arrive this afternoon the steel skeleton their gigantic ribs forming the dimensions of the building of the factory dimensions, with a stand in part, four stooling comprises the machine shop, lineklinn and will be 40x275 ft.

Downloads of machinery this factory are now will arrive here the first week or the first kind says they are necessary to connect therewith the several county seats lying east and west of such state highway." Now, a reasonable interpretation of this act would mean that the Pacific coast would be Los Angeles, Orange and San Diego counties. Any other interpretation would be exceedingly strained and unreasonable. Let us assume that the reasonable method is to be pursued and strongly insist that such shall be the case. We have no reason to presume otherwise. Granted that the Pacific coast means the coast counties, then there are those who insist that the highway must be built practically along the high-tide line, and Lew Wallace of Newport Beach has given notice that he intends introducing a resolution at the meeting of the associated chambers, asking that the Pacific coast highway be built along the high-tide line. But the act says that the highway must connect "the county seats of the several counties through which it passes, and joining the centers of population." As neither the county seats nor yet the centers of population of Orange county are on the high-tide line it would appear that this idea must be abandoned. Under the only reasonable and sensible interpretation of the act path of this highway is well defined from Los Angeles to San Diego, and must pass through Santa Ana, Anaheim, Fullerton and Whittier. Of the $18,000,000 for this state highway, Orange county's part, according to the present assessed valuation, will be $234,000 total, or $4,680 per pear. Northern Boosters Marin, Mendocino, Sonoma and Humboldt counties have joined forces to have a highway built that shall follow the old El Camino Real, from San Francisco around the bay, nearly 400 miles, to Sausalito. A committee of the senators and assemblymen of these counties is handling the matter. The northern delegation of the legislature held a meeting last week and endorsed Assemblyman Jasper's bill to build roads to connect Trinity, Tehama, Shasta and Humboldt. Our Boosters Our county has a committee out for field work on the state highway proposition. It is time to begin to get a line on the situation. HIGH SCHOOL NOTES The last week has been an even break for the basket ball team, as on Wednesday they put one over on hours and days. She leaves a husband and seven children, August C., Mrs. J. A.
