$100,000 SCHOOL BONDS CARRIED BY VOTERS MAGNIFICENT HIGH SCHOOL TO BE ERECTED HERE Building to Cost $75,000, Grounds $20,000—Site at Corner of Center and Citron—Present High School to Be Taken Over by Grammar District—Some Opposition Manifested in City, but Bonds Carry by Overwhelming Vote By a vote of 277 to 61 electors of Anaheim Union High School District on Monday decided to issue $100,000 bonds for erection of a magnificent high school at the corner of Center and Citron streets. The union high school district is composed of Anaheim grammar school district, Loara and Magnolia districts. Some little opposition to bonds was manifested in this city, where the question of site was more or less an issue, but in the outlying districts the vote was practically unanimous. Of the bonds voted, $70,000 was devoted to the erection of a new high school, while $30,000 was for the purchase by the Anaheim grammar school district of the present high Anaheim's Magnificent Grounds Costing $20,000 in Addition to the high school district is composed of Anaheim grammar school district, Loara and Magnolia districts. Some little opposition to bonds was manifested in this city, where the question of site was more or less an issue, but in the outlying districts the vote was practically unanimous. Of the bonds voted, $70,000 was devoted to the erection of a new high school, while $80,000 was for the purchase by the Anaheim grammar school district of the present high school building. A vote upon change of location was taken in the various districts, and the same approved. For the present high school building the school trustees have agreed to accept $25,000. Five thousand dollars additional was voted to permit of necessary alterations in the building. The union high school district will have in its treasury as a result of the election $95,000. Of this amount $75,000 will be devoted to the new high school building, and $20,000 for purchase of eleven acres at the corner of Center and Citron streets. It is desired to be in the new building by October 1st. While it will probably not be entirely completed by that time, it is believed that studies may be taken up in classrooms at that time. The overwhelming vote in favor of adequate school buildings is a victory for the progressive element in the community. The result was not in doubt after a conference of school trustees with the board of trade some weeks ago, following a defeat of a proposed issue of $40,000 bonds for a new grammar school. At the conference the school trustees pointed out the absolute necessity for more accommodations for the children of the district, who were appearing at the school in constantly increasing numbers. The board of trade clasped hands with the trustees, put shoulder to wheel, and the result was a foregone conclusion. The total vote in the three districts was 338. Of these 277 were in favor of bonds, and 61 against. The vote in the three districts was as follows: - Anaheim, 281. Total for bonds 224, against 57. - Loara—Total 27. For bonds 27; none against. - Magnolia—Total 30. For bonds 26; against 4. - In each of the districts a vote was taken on bonds and upon change of location of the present high school. L. Hein, F. Bradford and Mr. Wallace. Bonds: Thomas McGuire, W. R. Dickenson, Andrew Becker. The new high school buildings, a cut of which is here shown, will be among the most attractive and convenient in the state. After considerable thought the group system was adopted for the following reasons: First—There will be no stairs to climb. Second—The problem of lighting and ventilating will be reduced to a minimum. Third—The loss, in case of fire, would be greatly lessened. Fourth—In passing from class to class pupils will be out of doors, and will thus be refreshed. Fifth—It will be possible, by beginning work with the department building to complete them and begin the school in the fall, the work on the auditorium being left until the last. The classic style of architecture was selected as the most fitting exterior for an educational institution, as by means of it dignity may be given to the buildings and calonnades, which could not be secured by the use of any other style. The plans when complete will consist of the auditorium, with a seating capacity of 700, connected with it on the sides, by sliding doors are various rooms devoted to music and to voice culture, while at the sides of the main entrance are placed the office and teachers' rooms. On the right of the auditorium are placed the building devoted to English, history and languages, and the domestic science hall, while on the left is found, the building devoted to commercial branches and mathematics and the science hall. At the rear is placed the manual training shops and the heating plans while the gymnasium is placed at the entrance to the athletic field, and will consist of bleachers as well as gymnasium, baths and lockers. Located on one of the important streets of the city, away from the tricts was 338. Of these 277 were in favor of bonds, and 61 against. The vote in the three districts was as follows: - Anaheim, 281. Total for bonds 224, against 57. - Loara—Total 27. For bonds 27; none against. - Magnolia—Total 30. For bonds 26; against 4. In each of the districts a vote was taken on bonds and upon change of location of the present high school. In Anaheim grammar school district the vote on change of location was: Total vote, 288. For the change 227, against 56; improperly marked ballots 5. In Loara and Magnolia the vote in change of location was identical with that on bonds. In the Anaheim grammar school district a proposition to issue $30,000 bonds for purchase of the present high school property, and for additions thereto, was carried by a vote of 224 to 57. In Loara and Magnolia districts bonds to the amount of $70,000 were approved by the vote already given. This latter figure represents the issue of the three districts jointly, while the $30,000 voted additionally in the Anaheim district is for purchase of the present high school building. Election boards in the different districts were as follows: Anaheim—Change of location: M. Nebelung, Sidney Holman, W. F. Sonneman. Bonds: James Enearl, H. J. Westerman, F. C. Rimpau. Loara—Change of location: Daniel Bobst, Horace C. Mann, C. G. Sparks. Bonds: G. F. Davis, E. C. Dutton, W. F. Brunigan. Magnolia—Change of location: G. G. R. Lawrence, Sam L.

Located on one of the important streets of the city, away from the business center, the school will add greatly to the city's advancement as well as to its educational effectiveness. The thirteen-acre tract at the corner of Center and Citron streets, upon eleven acres of which the high-school holds an option at $20,000, was last May on the market at $9000. It was pointed out to a prospective buyer as the best snap in town. The latter offered $8500, which was refused. A week or two later he tried to buy the property, but was informed it had been sold. It changed hands again shortly at $12,000, and again some months ago at $14,000. Now the high school purchases eleven acres of the tract at $20,000. UNCLAIMED LETTERS G. R. Lawrence, Sam L.

MISS EILEEN CAYCE; QUEEN 3-DAY CELEBRATION OF GLORIOUS FOURTH BOARD OF TRADE ENDORSES CELEBRATION AND BARBECUE Also Get Acquainted Trip Beyond the Boundaries of Orange County—Hotel Committee Hampered by the High Price of Land—President Adams Appoints Committees for Ensuing Year—Board Wants Public Library Open From 10 in Morning The "Get Acquainted" project, inaugurated by the Anaheim Merchants Association, and carried to such a successful issue on two separate occasions appears to be like the opium habit—the more you indulge in the more you hanker for. The idea of asking the other Orange county towns to join hands with Anaheim, make it a county affair and take trips beyond the boundary lines of little Orange was sprung at the board of trade meeting Monday evening and met with universal approval. In response to a suggestion by Judge Howard that a better acquainted plan would be to have the people come to Anaheim and entertain them under our own vine and fig tree, J. H. Whittaker proposed a three-day Fourth of July celebration which would include a barbecue and all the frills that patriotism can suggest. This project has been quietly talked up by members of the board of trade, and Earl Abbey reported that he had already communicated with garage owners from Los Angeles to San Diego, and from Dan to Beersheba, and that all were willing to place their cars at the disposal of parties desiring to visit the Mother Colony on those days. Also that the railroads would grant special rates for the celebration. The idea was approved by the members, but as the Fourth of July is more than two months distant no definite action was cured at a reasonable figure. A communication from Pomona asking that representatives from Anaheim attend the dedication of the beautiful new city hall was read. Judge Howard was appointed as a committee of one and empowered to select whomsoever he pleased to accompany him. Oscar Renner and A. Valjean were appointed a committee of two to represent the board of trade at the meeting of the associated chambers of commerce which was held at Huntington Beach last night. A communication from Charles T. Leeds, first lieutenant, corps of engineers, relative to improvements at Newport bay, was referred to this meeting on motion of Mills. A. A. Mills reported that he had been in communication with E. A. Taylor, proprietor of the Orange county preserving company, and that Mr. Taylor was anxious to keep the plant in operation continuously. If sufficient raw material can be secured, he said, it will develop into a valuable manufacturing plant, not only employing a large corps of operatives at the works, but distributing thousands of dollars among the growers for fruit and vegetables. Certain soils in this region are peculiarly adapted to the growing of the produce needed by the cannery, and he thought the board of trade ought to assist in developing that resource. The question was given over to the committee on manufactures. It was the opinion of the board that the public library ought to open a portion of the time during the forenoon, and Mr. Eygabroad was appointed a committee to negotiate the matter. I.O.O.F. SPECIAL TRAIN 150 Members and Friends Go to Santa Monica One hundred and fifty members of the I.O.O.F., their families and friends departed on Wednesday morning at 7:45 in a special train over the South- trade, and Earl Abbey reported that he had already communicated with garage owners from Los Angeles to San Diego, and from Dan to Beersheba, and that all were willing to place their cars at the disposal of parties desiring to visit the Mother Colony on those days. Also that the railroads would grant special rates for the celebration. The idea was approved by the members, but as the Fourth of July is more than two months distant no definite action was taken. President Adams announced the various standing committees for the ensuing year so far as formulated, as follows, the first named being chairman: Public Improvements—Charles Eygabroad, C. E. Holcomb and P. H. Krick. Finance and Advertising—J. W. Duckworth, H. H. Adams, J. S. Howard, Charles Eygabroad and William Stark. Trade and Commerce—Oscar Renner, C. F. Grim and B. V. Beebe. Manufactures—W. B. Martenet, H. S. Hadsell and J. S. Howard. Entertainment—C. Z. Vander Horck Earl Abbey and F. A. Yungbluth. Merchants Ex—A. A. Mullinix. Membership—J. F. Ahlborn. Transportation—H. G. Amgs. The last three committees have not yet been filled up by the chairman. J. H. Whittaker, chairman of the hotel committee, reported that nothing had yet been accomplished in that direction owing to the disposition of property owners to set a fictitious price on the sites proposed. The committee was still working and hoping that a suitable site could be se- I.O.O.F. SPECIAL TRAIN 150 Members and Friends Go to Santa Monica One hundred and fifty members of the I.O.O.F., their families and friends departed on Wednesday morning at 7:45 in a special train over the Southern Pacific road for Santa Monica, to attend the 93d anniversary of the institution of the order in the United States. The party went direct to Los Angeles, and were taken to Santa Monica without change of cars. The special train was scheduled to leave Santa Monica at 10 o'clock on Wednesday evening, arriving here at midnight. Odd Fellows to the number of several thousand were present at the celebration, representatives being present from many cities and towns in Southern California. O. W. Blom, living on the Garden Grove road, reports the loss of an Airdale terrier, for which he recently refused $100. The dog is a famous warrior, and recently defeated a bull dog owned by Mr. Blom. Some night ago an auto stopped in front of his house. The terrier ran out, and being of a playful disposition, it is believed the men in the machine made away with him. The dog is a thoroughbred, imported from England, and is considered one of the best terriers in the state. F. A. Best was in town on Saturday from his ranch on South street. Primary—Roses and Thorns from Fourth Grade. Queen and Attendants and High School Girls. High School Orchestra. Miss Davis of the high school is teaching the dances. Miss Edwards has charge of the decorations and the "posters" are the work of her pupils. The teachers in the grades are doing all in their power to make this a happy day for the children and a credit to our schools. CHANCES FOR COMPANY GOOD Alvin Nowotny Has Interview With Colonel Schreiber Alvin Nowotny held a conference with Col. W. G. Schreiber in Los Angeles on Tuesday, and was informed by the commanding officer of the Seventh regiment that Anaheim's chances for securing a new company of national guardsmen was excellent. "Go ahead and procure your list of names for membership, and forward it to the adjutant general. I will approve it, if you secure a sufficient number of men." Nowotny has a list of more than fifty names, all of whom have manifested a disposition to join the new company. He will later on, in company of other members of the company, take up the matter of erecting a new armory here. Nowotny said yesterday he considers the chances for securing a company excellent, and is anxious to meet all young men desirous of joining the company.

Dickel of this city, was happily wedded to Miss Margaret Anderson, a handsome society belle of Spokane, Wash., at the home of the bride's parents in that city yesterday afternoon. The happy couple are expected here next week on their honeymoon trip. The marriage is a culmination of a romance which began some years ago at Berkeley, where the groom was a student at the mining college of the university. Miss Anderson lived at Berkeley with her mother, while her brother was a classmate of the groom. Mr. Dickel went last year to Rosario, Mex., to assume charge of a cyanide plant at the Bradbury mine. Whether it was on account of the insurrection condition in Sinaloa, or whether his reason assumed a more tender origin, he was dissatisfied with Rosario, and resigned his position to go to Republic, Wash., not far from Spokane, where the object of his affections resided. That his courtship was not unsuccessful became known to his parents some weeks ago, informing them of his engagement and asking their forgiveness. His father telegraphed his blessings, and inviting WILL ELECT OFFICERS Parent-Teachers Have an Important Meeting Next Tuesday The Parent-Teachers Association will hold a short but important business meeting next Tuesday afternoon at 3 o'clock at the Central grammar school building. A large attendance is desired because it is the regular time for the election of officers. Aside from this other important business is to be considered. There will be no program, since the schools of the city will entertain the association and friends with a May fete on May 5 at the high school lawn. Some time ago the trustees generously granted the program committee a half day for a musical afternoon in May, so the committee put this day entirely into the hands of Miss Edna Ames, the able supervisor of music. Miss Ames then decided to revive the old time May fete, with the assistance of the teachers of both high school and claimed $165 was his book, and claimed $165 was the price bid. Sackett politely informed him he was mistaken, and demanded his property, offering the money to pay for them. "You can't have them for a cent less than $165," said the mule man. "I'll not pay $165 for them, and I can produce twenty witnesses who will testify my bid was $155," replied Sackett. "You can't have them; I'll leave town with them." "If you do, I'll stop you," replied Sackett. The mule man hitched up his rig and made off toward Fullerton, a bunch of twenty head of stock, including Sackett's mules, trailing behind him. Sackett got busy. Coming up to Jos. Helmsen's store, he telephoned Deputy Sheriff Simpson. The latter came down on the double quick. He telephoned Dickenson's garage for an auto. The machine was at the First National bank corner in a jiffy. "Get your halters and come on," said Simpson, as he adjusted his star. The other side of Orangethorpe avenue they overtook the mule man. He refused to give up the mules for less than $165. Simpson informed him he would have to come back to this city. During the argument the stock stamped, running toward the west. Chester Holcomb came along in an auto, and offered his services. With Simpson in the machine he headed west after the mules. They were run into a neighboring corral and secured. The mule man after further parley agreed to take $155, the price offered for the mules, and escape arrest. "What about expenses?" inquired Sackett. The mule man demurred, but finally pungled up $5.50 for Simpson's fee and the auto charge and was permitted to go on his way. "What kind of a man are you, anyway?" asked the mule man of Sackett. "I don't know," that gentleman replied, "but whenever I run across a thief I set about to catch him." Doubtless he considers Simpson and Sackett a hard pair of Montana cow-punchers to draw to.

"I don't know," that gentleman replied, "but whenever I run across a thief I set about to catch him." Doubtless he considers Simpson and Sackett a hard pair of Montana cow-punchers to draw to.
