DEDICATING BELL ON KING'S HIGHWAY LARGE CONCOURSE WITNESSES IMPRESSIVE CEREMONIES History of El Camino Real Revived by Rev. Dubbel in Scholarly Address—Footsteps of Saintly Serra Trod Near Scene—Mrs. Konig Presents Bell to City, and Judge Howard Accepts in Felicitious Address Mr. Grim Presides at Ceremonies Harking back to the days when the footsteps of Junipero Serra might have trodden the identical spot upon which they stood, a large concourse of ladies and gentlemen assembled at the Adelheid baths on Sunday afternoon at 3 o'clock to witness the ceremonies of christening and blessing the El Camino Real bell which stands in front of the building and which was presented to the city by Mrs. Konig, a wealthy pioneer of this city. The bell was dedicated by the Rev. Father Dubbel, and was christened Saint Ysabel. The bell was blessed by the Catholic pastor, in conformity to the usual custom, and was unveiled by Miss Alice Grimshaw. LOWER FARES—ELECTRIC LINE Committee Makes Excellent Progress During Los Angeles Visit A. A. Mills of this city, W. T.Brown of Fullerton and Mr. Wheeler of Orange, representing the chambers of commerce of the three towns, went to Los Angeles on Tuesday to confer with the Santa Fe and Southern Pacific companies relative to securing reduced rates once a week or oftener, and also to confer with the latter company relative to electrizing its tracks between this city and Huntington Beach. They were joined in the city by George Ross, who accompanied them to railroad headquarters. The Santa Fe promised to take the first matter up on Mr. Byrne's return from Chicago, about the 15th. When the officials learned from the committee that people were coming to this city by the electric line in droves, and being transported hither by auto they sat up and took notice. The committee is satisfied the reduction will be granted, to meet the electric rate. Mr. Shoup of the Southern Pacific and Electric railway lines said he would be here in twenty days to take up the electrizing of the road to the beach. Mr. Mills said on his return that he had great hope of being successful in both projects. MAGNOLIA MEETS AGAINST SUPPLEMENT COMMITTEE OF CASE BEFORE ASSOCIATION Make Claim that property Values in Twill Result—Conduct Investigate—Make Plea for Suit sue for Another Project Meets With Endorsed for City A committee represented before the Merger at their meeting on and entered protest against the sewer farm on place of 70 acres purchased by the $22,000 for such project the committee er, William Kenney and E. R. M. Pierceer and Kennedy acco spokesmen for the ing that the location the Adelheid baths on Sunday afternoon at 3 o'clock to witness the ceremonies of christening and blessing the El Camino Real bell which stands in front of the building and which was presented to the city by Mrs. Konig, a wealthy pioneer of this city. The bell was dedicated by the Rev. Father Dubbel, and was christened Saint Ysabel. The bell was blessed by the Catholic pastor, in conformity to the usual custom, and was unveiled by Miss Alice Grimshaw. The exercises were held in front of the building, a stand having been erected, decked in bunting and the national colors. The bell, rising several feet above the heads of those upon the stand, was draped in the folds of a starry flag. As Miss Grimshaw unveiled the bell, a choir consisting of Misses Ida and Gertrude Kennedy and Miss Marie Rimpau sang "Veni Creator," accompanied upon the organ by Miss Rimpau. The choir later sang "Magnificat." C. F. Grim called the large assemblage to order, and in a few well-chosen words stated the object of the meeting, and introduced Rev. Dubbel, who spoke at length upon the history of El Camino Real, referring in feeling words to the work of Junipero Serra, founder of California missions. Added interest was lent to the reverend gentleman's address by the fact that the footsteps of the Saintly Serra might have trodden the identical spot upon which the assemblage stood. That he passed in close proximity to where the bell now marks his ancient pathway is known to those who have informed themselves upon the subject. Serra walked from San Diego to San Juan Capistrano, at each of which places he erected missions. From the latter place to San Gabriel his course lay where this city now stands, and there are those who declare that Los Angeles street, where the ancient stage coach carried passengers and mails between Los Angeles and San Diego, marked the identical spot of the Highway of the King. That Serra, at all events, passed near to the site of the bell is beyond dispute. Mrs. Konig in a few words presented the bell to the city, and Judge Howard on behalf of the community, and speaking for Mayor Rust, who was unable to be present, accepted. He spoke of the praiseworthy act of the donor in giving the bell over to the city, and said this was not her first act of generous liberality. Some years ago, when the citizens desired a site for a public library, it was Mrs. Konig's liberality which placedtee that people were coming to this city by the electric line in droves, and being transported hither by auto they sat up and took notice. The committee is satisfied the reduction will be granted, to meet the electric rate. Mr. Shoup of the Southern Pacific and Electric railway lines said he would be here in twenty days to take up the electrizing of the road to the beach. Mr. Mills said on his return that he had great hope of being successful in both projects. A meeting will probably be called to meet the electric railway men and go over the situation with them. PILING RESISTS WATERS Porter's Work in Riverbed Protects Pumping Plants While torrential floods in the river above Yorba the past week washed out embankments installed by the Bixbys and others, piling constructed by Superintendent Arthur Porter of the Anaheim Union Water Company effectually resisted floodwaters, protecting the company's two pumping plants at Horseshoe Bend and turning the river into a new channel. Porter recently sunk a mile of piling in the riverbed for the purpose of protecting the pumping plants and turning floodwaters away from the company's property. He drove piles to a depth of eight feet and embedded them in cement. A trench was dug about the piles and concrete placed at their base. Wires were strung along the piles and brush placed against the embankment. A forty-foot trench was dug in the channel, in order to turn water away from the embankment. During recent heavy rains the pilling stood the onslaught of the torrential floods, and the turbulent stream ran in its newly prepared bed The pumping plants were saved from destruction, and Mr. Porter is the recipient this week of many congratulations for the efficiency of his work. The newly erected embankment extends for a mile in the riverbed at the Bend, which is considered the most treacherous section of the stream. Porter has made good in his position of superintendent of the water company, and in nothing accomplished in the past has he shown his worth to greater advantage than in protecting the company's pumping plants from the torrents of overflow. The river has been a turbulent stream during the week, heavy rains ed before the Merge at their meeting or and entered protest at the sewer farm on place of 70 acres purchased by them $22,000 for such paving the committee erer, William Kennerer and E.

The brought about by ob Mrs. Konig in a few words presented the bell to the city, and Judge Howard on behalf of the community, and speaking for Mayor Rust, who was unable to be present, accepted. He spoke of the praiseworthy act of the donor in giving the bell over to the city, and said this was not her first act of generous liberality. Some years ago, when the citizens desired a site for a public library, it was Mrs. Konig's liberality which placed the present site within the means of the committee having to do with its purchase. Born to luxury and refinement as she was, she had left her home, a half century ago, to make her home with her husband in these trackless wastes, which the persevence and energy of the Pioneers had made to blossom as the rose. In accepting the bell, Judge Howard thanked the giver in behalf of the city for her generous deed. The bell was dedicated by Rev. Dubbel, and was christened and blessed, the pastor using the Latin ritual. Miss Eleanora Parker recited a poem, "El Camino Real," and the exercises were closed by the crowd singing "America." Before dispersing, the crowd was photographed. Rev. Dubbel's address was as follows: "The tourist to this sunkissed land of Southern California has scarcely found his bearings, when his vocabulary is enriched with a new term—euphonic, historic—El Camino Real—The King's Highway. Strange may it sound to republican ears, but soon its novelty passes away, for it is a King's Highway, which the ambassadors of the king of kings constructed to make his name known to the aborigines, to Continued on Page 3 Porter has made good in his position of superintendent of the water company, and in nothing accomplished in the past has he shown his worth to greater advantage than in protecting the company's pumping plants from the torrents of overflow. The river has been a turbulent stream during the week, heavy rains in the mountains conspiring to bring down a great volume of water. It is confidently believed his work, having successfully withstood the first onslaught of water, will remain as a permanent protection of the pumping plants in the river. He is demonstrating his ability in other lines, and during the past season brought down more water from Bedrock canyon than any other superintendent ever in employ of the company. This is all the more to his credit, for when he assumed the duties of the office some years ago, there were not lacking those who doubtfully shook their heads and said he was a kid. Occasionally he gets a telephone message from one of these fault-finders. The other day he received such a call, after instructing his men to install a measuring gate for an irrigator who had been putting one over the company. The work was being done according to instructions, when the telephone rang. Among other things coming over the wire was this: "I want you to come here immediately and fix this thing right." "I haven't time to bother with such blooming cranks as you are," said Porter as he hung up the telephone. Mr. and Mrs. Edward Stark of Vancouver are guests of Mrs. Armstrong. ANAHEIM, CALIFORNIA, THURSDAY. FEBRUARY 9, 1911 MAGNOLIA MEN PROTEST AGAINST SEWER FARM COMMITTEE OF CITIZENS STATE CASE BEFORE MERCHANTS ASSOCIATION Make Claim that Depreciation of Property Values in Their Neighborhood Will Result—Committee Appointed to Investigate—School Trustees Make Plea for Support of Bond Issue for Another Schoolhouse—Project Meets With Favor—W. Stark Endorsed for City Trustee — Notes A committee representing the Magnolia improvement association appeared before the Merchants Association at their meeting on Monday evening and entered protest to the location of the sewer farm on the J. M. Gilbert place of 70 acres at Magnolia recently purchased by the city at a cost of $22,000 for such purposes. Composing the committee were E. K. Mueller, William Kennedy, F. J. Buntine and E. R. M. Pierce. Messrs. Mueller and Kennedy acted as principal spokesmen for the delegation, stating that the location of the sewer farm other towns in Southern California enjoy these reduced rates, and the association is determined Anaheim should have the same. EBELL LADIES WANT A PARK Will Give Entertainment to Raise Funds for This Purpose The Ebell club held their regular meeting on Saturday afternoon, Feb. 4, in the high school with a small attendance owing to the rainy weather. Roll call was responded with quotations from Lowell. The ladies are desirous of obtaining a stock for this city and much enthusiasm in the movement was displayed. An entertainment for this benefit will be given later in February, with due announcements. The audience was favored with piano and vocal solos by Miss Parrett and Mrs. Dyer. Both were heartily enceded. The bill for pensioning retired school teachers and Mr. Hitchcock's civil service report were read and discussed. A most interesting feature of the program was a book review of "The Caravaners" by the author of "Elizabeth and Her German Garden." Miss Margaret Walker gave a very good synopsis of the story. This was followed by a witty delineation of the leading character, Baron V. Ottringel by Mrs. Dutton. WORK ON FACTORY RAPIDLY ADVANCING SATISFACTORY PROGRESS MAKING ON BIG BUILDINGS Forty Carloads of Machinery Received and Sixty Cars More in Transit—Machinery Being Installed As Building Progresses—Weather Conditions Causing Little Delay—$20,-000 Additional Stock Offered To Local Investors for Purpose of Erecting More Buildings at Factory To the uninitiated the Anaheim sugar factory presents a chaotic appearance at the present time. Huge masses of ponderous machinery of every conceivable description, shape and size blockade the buildings and the yards, and it is difficult to conceive that in a very short time order will be restored out of this chaos, that each monster piece will be fitted in its destined groove, that the whole will be working with the precision and smoothness of a well-oiled clock, and that a magnificent and prosperous hive of human industry will be the result. Notwithstanding all this only forty cars of machinery have been received before the Merchants Association at their meeting on Monday evening and entered protest to the location of the sewer farm on the J. M. Gilbert place of 70 acres at Magnolia recently purchased by the city at a cost of $22,000 for such purposes. Composing the committee were E. K. Mueller, William Kennedy, F. J. Buntine and E. R. M. Pierce. Messrs. Mueller and Kennedy acted as principal spokesmen for the delegation, stating that the location of the sewer farm at that point would be obnoxious to their people and would result in depreciation of property values thereabout. They suggested that another location be secured, and presented their side of the argument in able manner. After a lengthy discussion by members of the association, a committee consisting of City Engineer Steward, J. W. Duckworth and J. S. Howard was appointed to investigate the matter and report at another meeting of the association. A committee representing the Anaheim grammar school, consisting of School Trustees Clabaugh and Chambers and Principal Van Deveer addressed the meeting in favor of securing the erection of another schoolhouse for the district. Mr. Clabaugh said conditions in the schools at present were intolerable, owing to their overcrowded state. The number of overflow children exceeds 100, and more are constantly arriving. The trustees had been compelled to rent an outside room, which accommodates 65 children, and yet the schoolhouses were overcrowded in every grade. Principal Van Deveer also spoke to the same effect. Both gentlemen urged the necessity of immediately ading to the district's schoolroom, and advanced arguments tending to show that a bond issue was imperative. The meeting acquiesced in their conclusions that more schoolroom was necessary, and by vote requested the school trustees to formulate plans for another large school house. The latter were asked to submit data to the association at a subsequent meeting, when the location of the building as well as other matters may be discussed and an agreement arrived at for the best interest of all concerned. The school trustees some weeks ago called a bond election in the sum of $40,000 for erection of a new school building, but the election was not favorable. The outcome was brought about by objection being raised before the Merchants Association at their meeting on Monday evening and entered protest to the location of the sewer farm on the J. M.

The school trustees some weeks ago called a bond election in the sum of $40,000 for erection of a new school building, but the election was not favorable. The outcome was brought about by objection being raised by the chamber of commerce to the location of the schoolhouse. While the need of another schoolhouse was admitted on all sides, it was deemed advisable to defeat the project and wait for a later date to take the matter up again. It was apparent by expressions of opinion at Monday evening's meeting that no further objection would be urged to the erection of another schoolhouse, provided the location selected be one to meet approval. The school trustees will perfect plans immediately for another bond issue, and further discussion will be taken up at the next meeting of the association. Wm. Stark was endorsed for city trustee, to fill the vacancy caused by resignation of C. L. Becker. A communication was received from the German-American alliance asking for Stark's endorsement. A general discussion followed. Herman Stern and Henry Adams were placed in nomination for the office. Adams declined. On a vote Stark received 20 votes, Stern 13. The committee on railroad fares was instructed to cooperate with a similar committee named by the chamber of commerce. The committee is endeavoring to arrange for an 80-cent round trip fare to this city from Los Angeles on certain days to be termed Tourist days. It is said BONDS FOR SCHOOLHOUSE An election will be held in the newly established Commonwealth school district on Saturday, March 11, for the purpose of voting bonds in the sum of $5500 for the purchase of a school site and the erection of a new school building. Polls will be open at the residence of S. Tucker. The call for the election will be found printed in another column. STREET SWEEPER Anaheim's first street sweeper arrived this week, and on Tuesday was given a demonstration by Herman Stern. Mayor Rust, Street Superintendent Simpson and other city officials witnessed the test, which was satisfactory in every way. The city will purchase it and put it to work sweeping streets. REALTY TRANSFERS The following transfers of real estate were recorded this week: Adelheid Konig to Henry Oelkers—Lot 6, Adelheid subdivision, Anaheim Adelheid Konig to Henry Oelkers—Northerly 62 1-2 feet of Original Town Building Lot 24, Anaheim, $10. L. A. Evans reports the sale of the West End store, from J. H. Perry to H. I. Holbrook, recently arrived from Los Angeles, at a cost of $5000.

Mr. Schlotter is from Ohio, and when he left home for California some weeks ago the thermometer was away below zero "My people in Ohio wrote me that your real-estate men have skinned me because I paid $1200 per acre for the land. But when they learn that I can take several crops a year off this land, each valued at several hundred dollars per acre, they will likely enough change their views. I sold 80 acres in Ohio for $16,000 before I cam here, and I never took more than $20 per acre off that land in a year. I prefer this section, and I have written my people they are losing money by not coming to California. "And this climate is great.

At its meeting on Monday evening the association resolved to refer the matter of the date for the trip to J. W. Duckworth, the chairman of the committee of arrangements. Mr. Duckworth made an auto trip to Westminster on Sunday and found roads in that section well-nigh impassable, owing to recent rains. He decided it would be inadvisable to make the trip, and so reported on his return.

Mr. Schlotter is forwarding Anaheim literature to his people in the blizzard belt, and says if there is not an influx of Ohio people here before summer, he misses his guess. He has the California fever bad, and wants all his friends to catch it. It requires no doctors to cure it. The way to cure it is to come to Anaheim, buy land, enjoy the climate and make money. BASCOM RIDES HIS HOBBY Still Insists that State Division will Reduce Taxes Editor Gazette.—It is a law of nature that small bodies are moved and controlled easily. Large bodies require more time and power, and are cumbersome. A state is a body of men. The same laws control political as well as physical bodies. This is why there is much less waste in the small governments than in large ones. In the small township governments of New England there is absolutely no loss of money, as the "town" gets value received for every dollar spent. It is so with counties, as witness Orange since its division from Los Angeles in the year 1889. The states of Oregon and Minnesota ran for many years at an annual average cost of about $300,000, and they could now, but, as the Hon. A. B. Nye, state controller, says (Report for 1909-1910, page 52) "Former prudent policies have been reversed, and Industry is being heavily burdened by large state debts and vast expenditures." The ten counties of Southern California will make a small state, comparatively, and will be moved and controlled more easily than the present large state. Delaware cost $422,241 for 1906. Southern California paid $3,156,024.78 into the state treasury in 1909, enough to run seven Delawares for one year. That is why state division will reduce taxes. B. A. Stephens. Los Angeles, Feb. 6, 1911. ment of the swing around the circle by the merchants' association scheduled for yesterday. At its meeting on Monday evening the association resolved to refer the matter of the date for the trip to J. W. Duckworth, the chairman of the committee of arrangements. Mr. Duckworth made an auto trip to Westminster on Sunday and found roads in that section well-nigh impassable, owing to recent rains. He decided it would be inadvisable to make the trip, and so reported on his return. The association assented to his views, and the swing around the circle of Orange county towns was accordingly deferred without selection of a date. Owing to unsettled weather conditions the trip will not occur for probably two weeks, and may not be taken up again until a later date. The consensus of opinion is that a more favorable outing will result after heavy rains insure a prosperous year, and probably a larger turnout will result. Upward of 100 merchants were in readiness for the trip yesterday,and probably the number will be swelled to 150 by the time a start is made. Towns to be visited are Olive, Orange, Santa Ana, Bolsa, Huntington Beach, Smeltzer, Westminster and Garden Grove.In each of these towns preparations had been made to entertain the visitors. At Huntington Beach lunch was to have partaken of, and a royal good time was looked for all along the line. At Orange and Santa Ana brass bands were to have welcomed the party,and an exchange of friendly greetings and felicitations indulged in. While the trip has been unavoidably postponed, the association is looking forward with great pleasure to meeting citizens of the various towns on the route. Definite announcement of the date for the trip may be made next week, but much will depend upon conditions of the weather, which, while it may conspire to postpone the swing around the circle, will undoubtedly put the people in joyous frame of mind to meet the boosters on their arrival. The Boosters are coming is the slogan all along the line. Rain may defer the trip temporarily, but the Boosters are resolved to make the trip memorable in the annals of the county. WELCOME RAINS AGAIN During the Week 1.58 Inches, For Season 7.69 Rain Thursday night and Friday The ten counties of Southern California will make a small state, comparatively, and will be moved and controlled more easily than the present large state. Delaware cost $422,241 for 1906. Southern California paid $3,156,024.78 into the state treasury in 1909, enough to run seven Delawares for one year. That is why state division will reduce taxes. B. A. Stephens. Los Angeles, Feb. 6, 1911. CRITICALLY ILL S. O. Llewellyn is ill at the home of his son-in-law, Frank Fox, and fears are felt for his recovery. He is suffering with a complication of physical disorders, and has been in bed two weeks. He is past 71 years of age, and a veteran of the civil war. He was formerly constable of this township, and latterly has acted as attendance officer for the public schools. No one in town has enjoyed a higher degree of popularity among the children. Mr. Llewellyn's condition yesterday showed no improvement. SAW THE INSURRECTOS J. B. Neff returned on Sunday from Imperial county, where he held farmers' institutes last week. He was at Calexico on Monday, when a band of 18 insurrectos took Mexicallo, across the boundary line, shot and killed the jailer and liberated all the prisoners. Considerable excitement existed, but when the rebels moved off seven miles southward and went into camp, peace and quiet again reigned supreme. He characterizes the "insurrectos" as a band of robbers. Mr. Neff will next week hold institutes at Etiwanda, Rialto, Ontario, San Dimas and Placentia, at the latter place on Friday, the 17th. WELCOME RAINS AGAIN During the Week 1.58 Inches, For Season 7.69 Rain Thursday night and Friday added 1.58 inches to the season's rainfall, making a total of 7.69. Last year the rainfall to date amounted to 9.48. Jupiter Pluvius has caught up with the procession, and is less than two inches behind last season's precipitation. Weather prophets look for more rain. Saturday there came clearing skies. On Sunday clouds again appeared, but Monday broke bright and clear. Plowing and seeding operations are in progress far and wide. The year promises to be one of the best in the history of the county. From dry-year talk a month ago to this bright outlook is going some, and Oliver Hill has more money to bet that the weather clerk will be on the job again before many days. PARTNERSHIP DISSOLVED The Beebe-Weisel Company this week dissolved partnership. Mr. Beebe will continue the buggy and implement business at the Center-St. store, while Mr. Weisel will give his attention to automobiles and pumping plants in the Los Angeles- street establishment. The business of the company has grown so that these gentlemen have decided each to give his personal attention to their respective departments. Mr. Weisel will have associated with him Jake Klein and Charley Mann.
