ARE STILL OBJECTING TO THE SEWER FARM MAGNOLIA CITIZENS FILE PROTEST WITH MERCHANTS The Association Endorses Tourist Hotel Proposition and Committee Considering Site—Will Cost $30,000—Railroad Committee Reports Santa Fe Will Probably Grant 80-cent Round Trip Rate from Los Angeles—Committee Appointed to Sell Additional Sugar Factory Stock The Merchants Association Monday evening gave its unqualified endorsement of the tourist hotel proposition sprung a week previous by the Chamber of Commerce. The hotel committee, through its chairman, Wm. Kreuscher, reported that plenty of capital was in sight to build the hotel and the stock would all be sold as soon as placed on the market; in fact, the Pacific Hotel Co. would take over and dispose of the entire stock. The hotel will cost $30,000 and will be built after the German style of architecture and surrounded by German landscape gardens. The site has not yet been definitely determined. best and the most promising investment. In the last year and a half many new houses have gone up and people are moving in and are improving the neighborhood rapidly. The soil is good and crops are good. The people are as good as can be found anywhere and if let alone will build up a community which would be a credit to any county in the state. To do anything which would put a damper upon the development of this part of Orange county is not alone extremely unfair to the people directly effected, but is a blow at the whole county. This might not be said if the section were isolated or made up of poor ground, or were uninhabited, but when the neighborhood has good soil, good water, and is used to support a growing population of very desirable citizens, the case is different. Again, this community cannot see the waste products of a city dumped into the dooryard of their house of worship without a very serious protest. The ground used for a church yard was taken from the Gilbert ranch when Mr. Gilbert was living in the community, and you can see that for that water to come to our dooryard would be intolerable.

The site has not yet been definitely determined upon but two or three are being considered. The committee was continued with Earl Abbey, H. V. Weisel and A. Valjean added. The Magnolia people are still fighting against the establishment of a sewer farm in their midst, and the following letter, directed primarily to the city trustees of Anaheim, but copies of which are being circulated elsewhere, was found in the mail of Secretary Ahlborn and read. It was placed on file without action. Buena Park, Cal., Feb. 21, 1911. To the Common Council of the City of Anaheim, Cal.:— I am sorry to learn of your intention to secure the Gilbert farm in the Magnolia school district to be used as a sewer farm. Several valid objections present themselves, and I think the matter is of sufficient importance to ask you to give your time to a consideration of them. In the first place it has been said that the "farm" will not be objectifiable for the reason that modern means of treating sewage does away with the undesirable features of the old method and delivers the product much freer from impurities. The fact remains, however, that the presence of these "farms" has been nothing but a drawback to every community where they have been established. Surely such information as you can get will support this simple statement. They have kept down the price as well as the real value of the neighboring farm lands and have kept away desirable settlers. They have been a very constant cause of unpleasantness, and no doubt have also aided in spreading disease, in spite of the claim, frequently made, that the major percentage of the impurities have been removed from the sewage before it ever reaches the "farm." It has been said that the water has been delivered 95 per cent pure, and that this can be maintained. Surely no man can ask us to accept that as fact. If so it is purer than ordinary drinking water. But it must be remembered that the "impurities" of different. Again, this community cannot see the waste products of a city dumped into the dooryard of their house of worship without a very serious protest. The ground used for a church yard was taken from the Gilbert ranch when Mr. Gilbert was living in the community, and you can see that for that water to come to our dooryard would be intolerable. In the course of a short time there would arise from the land such a vapor that the services would have to be abandoned. This would be especially true in the summer time. The ranchers of this vicinity have always done their trading with the Anaheim merchants, and they have done a considerable part in making Anaheim what she is. Now for that city to dump upon them what they are not willing to have in their own yards would be to return evil for good, to say the least. All the objections that have come to my mind have not been touched upon in this letter, but I hope I have given a fair presentation of the subject, and that what I have said is sufficient to show the unfairness, the absolute injustice, of establishing a sewer farm at that place. What would I do then? It has been rumored that Santa Ana has also a sewage problem on her hands. Let the two cities build a conduit or a pipe line that will extend a quarter of a mile into the sea. That will be sanitary, almost self-maintaining, if properly built, and it will be fair to everybody. I am sending a copy of this letter to the merchants association of Anaheim and also one to the improvement association in the Magnolia district. Very respectfully submitted, C. W. Shumway. O. H. Renner, president of the chamber of commerce, introduced the subject of consolidating that body and the merchants association, and recommended the merger. On motion of Ahlborn, a committee consisting of J. W. Duckworth, J. F. Ahlborn and Earl Dutton was appointed by Chairman Howard to confer with a similar body from the chamber of commerce and effect the merger. The recent demand of the merchants and the chamber of commerce for an 80-cent round trip rate from Los Angeles to Anaheim in order to accommodate the many tourists who desire to come into this territory, appears to be meeting with results. The committee on railroads reported that Mr. Moore, of the Santa Fe, had promised to grant the rate star- was deferred by the regular meeting school building on Tuesday until the result of the Fullerton on Saturday known.

ORANGE SH San Bernardino, Cali It has been said that the water has been delivered 95 per cent pure, and that this can be maintained. Surely, no man can ask us to accept that as fact. If so it is purer than ordinary drinking water. But it must be remembered that the "impurities" of drinking water are lime, soda, salt, etc., and that these are not at all harmful to the human body. But the impurities contained in the remaining 5 per cent of sewage is not lime, salt, soda, etc., but waste matter such as does nothing but damage. Every hundred gallons of water then would bring a gallon of absolute waste matter at least, and from that up to five gallons. A stream running week after week cannot help but bring a great deal of matter entirely objectionable in character, and this will not be absorbed into the ground. If the water were 95 per cent pure in the sense in which we speak of drinking water being pure it would not and could not cause the rank growth of vegetation it does, nor could it attract the swarms of vermin and insects found on every sewer farm. Now a word as to the effect one would have upon the Magnolia school district as a place for resident ranchers. I have been visiting the district at least twice a week on the average for a year and a half, and being pastor of the M.E. church on the corner of the Gilbert ranch, I know the land and the people pretty well. A Santa Ana real estate dealer of note told a friend of mine that of all the land in the county he considered that within a radius of three miles from the church as the HAS LOST HIS JOB By an enactment of the present legislature, signed by Governor Johnson, a job within the gift of the board of supervisors is no more. Hitherto the board has been required to make a report of crop statistics to the secretary of the agricultural board. The bill does away with the report from the counties. The service has cost this county from $250 to $300 a year. The last appointee was Erwin Bayha of Yorba. AWAIT RESULT OF FULLERTON ELECTION SCHOOL BOARD DEFERS ACTION ON BOND PROPOSITION Defeat of Bonds in Fullerton Saturday May Result in Merger Which would Leave the Anaheim High School Building Vacant—Phil Germain Appointed Truant Officer—May Day Festival to be Held on Highschool Campus—Other Notes of Meeting Action on the proposition to call another bond election for the purpose of raising funds to build a much needed school house, in growing Anaheim, was deferred by the school board at the regular meeting at the primary school building on Tuesday evening until the result of the election at Fullerton on Saturday, March 4th, is known. If the Fullerton electors turn down the proposed bond issue for a new high school to take the place of the one recently destroyed by fire the merger proposition will again be sprung and may possibly be carried to a successful issue. In that event the Anaheim high school building would eventually be for sale and could LAND AND PRODUCT SHOW Novel Exhibition Being Planned for Los Angeles Interest in the Pacific Land and Products Exposition throughout the Pacific coast and Rocky Mountain region is increasing as the time for opening the doors to the public approaches. The exposition will be held in Los Angeles March 18-April 2. Inquiries concerning its scope are coming in every mail and there will be many applications for space at the last hour. The space allotted for the show purposes is rapidly being contracted for and as a result there will be disappointment in store for the laggards. As an evidence of the interest the exposition has excited beyond the confines of the western states comes a story from La Porte, Ind. to the effect that a party of twenty Indianans will come to the coast in a special car in time to visit the land show. Other parties arg being formed in Indiana towns with the same object in view. Many of these visitors will become permanent residents, it is expected. Coast railroad men are repeating their predictions that the colonist season record for travelers to this coast will be broken by the season beginning March 10. A hundred thou- was deferred by the school board at the regular meeting at the primary school building on Tuesday evening until the result of the election at Fullerton on Saturday, March 4th, is known. If the Fullerton electors turn down the proposed bond issue for a new high school to take the place of the one recently destroyed by fire the merger proposition will again be sprung and may possibly be carried to a successful issue. In that event the Anaheim high school building would eventually be for sale and could be utilized as a grammar school by the school board. If Fullerton votes in favor of the bond issue on Saturday Mr. Chambers, clerk of the Anaheim board, will immediately request County Superintendent R. P. Mitchell to fix an early date for a meeting to take the preliminary steps toward another bond election. The board can take no action without the sanction and co-operation of the county superintendent. Tuesday, March 7th, is Arbor Day and it will be observed with appropriate services at the primary school. A number of shade trees (pepper preferred if they can be secured) will be planted by the pupils. Prof. Vanderveer is also planning the erection of a neat and commodious greenhouse on the primary grounds, and was granted permission to purchase the necessary lumber. Preparations are making for an old fashioned May Day festival on the high school campus. The old English custom will be followed. A queen of the May will preside, May poles with their many colored ribbon attachments will be erected, and the youth of Anaheim will be turned loose with instructions to enjoy himself. As a politician Phil Germain is proving a success. He is slated for constable, deputy marshal and nightwatchman, and his application for the position of truant officer, made vacant by the death of S. O. Llewellyn was unanimously endorsed by the school board. He takes immediate possession of the office. The recent action of the board in adding five dollars per month to the salary of each of the teachers brought forth a number of surprised letters of thanks. The act, although deserving, was unsolicited and unlocked for by the teachers. The week beginning April 9th was fixed upon as the spring vacation-week, and all the Anaheim teachers will be granted a holiday that week.

Billings has taken over the management of the Adelheld Turkish bathhouse and is now in control of that establishment. Mr. Billings has had many years experience in bathing establishments, both in this country and in England, and comes well equipped to make a success of the enterprise. The bathhouse was recently erected by Mrs. Wm. Konig. STOCK OVER-SUBSCRIBED German-American Bank Increase Capital to $50,000 President Thomas of the German-American bank said yesterday the stock for increase of capital from $30,000 to $50,000 had been oversubscribed. Up to the hour of closing the lists on Tuesday applications for portions of the issue continued to come in, until it had to be announced that no more offers could be considered. The bank will as soon as necessary legal steps are taken to complete the increase of its capital, do business upon the increased basis, which will afford it opportunity for expanding its usefulness in all directions. Under the present management the German-American has achieved instantaneous success, its deposits showing constant increase until they are now at high-water mark. New subscribers to stock include many of the citizens and present stockholders availed them selves of increasing their holdings. Quoted at a higher rate than ever before, this stock is considered gilt-edged, with an upward tendency. HIGHSCHOOL TRACK MEET Anaheim and Fullerton Students in Athletic Contests The recent action of the board in adding five dollars per month to the salary of each of the teachers brought forth a number of surprised letters of thanks. The act, although deserving, was unsolicited and unlooked for by the teachers. The week beginning April 9th was fixed upon as the spring vacation-week, and all the Anaheim teachers will be granted a holiday that week. ORANGE SHOW San Bernardino, Cal., Feb. 27.—Arrangements for the national orange show to be held in this city March 6 to 11 have progressed so far that the only question now is how to accommodate the exhibitors that are clamoring for space. So great has been this demand that already the committee in charge has been forced to place a limit on the space asked for, which in most instances is not more than half of what is desired. Every feature of the industry will be shown from the time the fruit is picked until it is graded, packed and loaded in the cars pre-cooled in the largest pre-cooling plant in the country and shipped to the eastern markets. Nothing of the kind has ever been attempted before, but the success of the national apple show and of the national corn show, has been so phenomenal that the success of a similar exhibition with citrus fruit for the display, is assured. It is almost unbelievable, but a fact, nevertheless, that even here in the orange growing section only a very small percentage of the inhabitants are at all familiar with the different steps taken in the handling of oranges, while to the thousands of visitors now thronging Southern California, the sight will be one never to be forgotten. All of the railroads running into this section have offered reduced rates for those desiring to visit the national orange show. W. H. Billings Assumes Control of Adelheid Baths W. H. Billings has taken over the management of the Adelheid Turkish bathhouse and is now in control of that establishment. Mr. Billings has had many years experience in bathing establishments, both in this country and in England, and comes well equipped to make a success of the enterprise. The bathhouse was recently erected by Mrs. Wm. Konig, one of Anaheim's wealthy pioneers and is equipped with modern appliances throughout. Patrons of the baths speak in highest terms of its equipment, and in the hands of a thoroughly experienced man like Mr. Billings success should crown his efforts to maintain the baths as the equal of any in Southern California. His announcement will be found in another column, to which the attention of our readers is directed. HOLBROOK MUST ANSWER R. I. Holbrook was on Friday held in the Santa Ana township court to appear before the superior court on a charge of passing worthless checks. Holbrook gave R. C. Mann of this city a spurious check in part payment for property here. At the same time he deposited a bogus $5000 draft in payment for store of J. S. Perry at West Anaheim. He also gave Perry two worthless checks, and cashed a check at Santa Ana which had already passed through a bank and been paid. He is held on a felony charge. Rain which began falling on Sunday evening and continued at intervals until Tuesday added .67 to the season's precipitation, according to Mr. Dickel's gauge. Total for the year, 9.19 inches; last season to date 9.48.

BASCOM ON BANNER CINCH Still Inists State Division Would be Proper Caper The year 1910 witnessed the banner "cinch" on taxes. The state board of equalization had made extraordinary upward equalizing for Southern California as 100 per cent raise for Ventura, while northern California practically went free. On page 31, state treasurer's biennial report for the 60th and 61st fiscal years, the following amounts are given as paid into the state treasury: Imperial $34,887.86, Kern $142,719.08, Los Angeles $2,005,639.63, Orange $83,542.33, Riverside $95,639.37, San Bernardino $118,176.57, San Diego $148,921.05, San Luis Obispo $75,618.74, Santa Barbara $144,715.02, Ventura $57,085.04; total $2,906,944.69. The 58 counties of the state paid $9,479,804.04. Southern California paid 30.6 per cent of the whole. That paid by Southern California was greater than it cost to run the states of several weeks due to a complication of physical disorders. Immediate cause of death was attributable to an aneurism of the aorto, which prevented sustenance being administered to him. He had been unable to take food for a period of 4 weeks, and death resulted primarily from that cause. Deceased leaves three married daughters, Mrs. Frank Fox, Mrs. William Fox, both of this city, and Mrs. A. Terry, Utah, who came in response to telegraphic advices of his illness. He was a native of Virginia, and was aged 71 years and 24 days. He had resided in Anaheim 24 years. He worked at his trade as wagon-maker and was some years ago constable of this township. In later years he filled the position of attendance officer for the public schools, and so ingratiated himself into the affections of the children that few if any truants were reported. If any child was absent from school he called upon the parents. In many cases he found it was not the child's fault. The parents were advised of the law, and the child thereafter attended regularly. He attained a degree of popularity among the children, and whenever he met them conferred with them upon terms of friendliness and equality. He was a guide, philosopher and friend to them, and his death is regretted by them along with older residents. He was a veteran of the civil war and saw active service in the Shenandoah campaign. He enlisted in Company A, Third Virginia infantry, and later reinlisted and was honorably discharged July 15, 1865. He was captured November 27, 1864, and was held as a prisoner in Libby prison until paroled February 15, 1865. At the time of the assassination of President Lincoln he was in the city of Washington with his regiment He was ordered with a detachment of cavalry in pursuit of the fleeing assassin. While on duty in Virginia he saw the body of John Wilkes Booth, who had been shot by Boston Corbett, lying in the bed of a wagon on its way to the national capital. He was married to Miss Eliza White July 12, 1868. To them were born three daughters, who survive him. Funeral services were held on Monday afternoon under auspices of the Odd Fellows, of which deceased had been a member. Rev. Markle preached the burial sermon at the residence.

MODJESKA DEED Attorney Richard J. Dillon of Los Angeles, executor of the estate of Madame Modjeska, has petitioned the superior court for confirmation of a sale of three acres of land that Madame Modjeska purchased as a site for a home at Tustin, adjoining the home of her friends, Mr. and Mrs. James S. Rice. The sale was made by Dillon on Feb. 8 for $2400 to Mrs. Nellie R. Mauzy of Tustin. A document signed by Madame Modjeska and her husband, Charles Bozenta Chlapowski, who is now in Poland, on August, 1906, has been placed on record at Santa Ana by Dillon. The document is a general power of attorney from the great actress and her husband to Dillon. With the death of Madame Modjeska at Bay Island in this county on April 8th, 1909, the power of attorney is effective only from Count Bozenta to Dillon. Assemblyman Bishop's bill providing for compensation of trustees in cities of the fifth class has passed the legislature, and now awaits the governor's signature. The bill provides that trustees may fix such compensation, and thereafter people of such city may vote for or against the measure. If they approve, salaries become immediately effective. He was married to Miss Enza White July 12, 1868. To them were born three daughters, who survive him.
