Entered at the Anaheim Postoffice as second-class matter. HAS THE LARGEST CIRCULATION ASKS FOR A SQUARE DEAL C. W. Shumway States Views Upon Sewer Farm Buena Park, Cal., May 4, 1911. Editor Gazette: One of the arguments used by those who would place Anaheim's proposed sewer farm upon the Gilbert ranch, is that that town is growing rapidly, and that the continuation of its growth depends upon an adequate solution of the sewer problem. This is no doubt true. However, if we make an analysis of the growth of Anaheim and of the business of its merchants, it will reveal the fact that the neighborhood of the proposed town of Stanton has had a large part in making Anaheim what it is. The community mentioned has itself grown remarkably in the last eighteen months. The number of homes built, and of old ones remodeled, has been a means of gratification to all public spirited citizens. Neglected corners have been cleaned up, HIGH SCHOOL NOTES The high school team the past week upset all the school league dope by winning and losing games that it had not really hoped to win or expected to lose. On Thursday at Fullerton the strong aggregation of ball tossers from that place were taken into camp by the Anaheim team in one of the best league games of the season and in the best game that the locals have played this season. Yorba was on the mound for the Anaheim team, and it was largely through his efforts that the winning came our way, though the team behind him played errorless ball, extending themselves to the limit and coming home with a score of 4-3 in its favor. Webb on third accepted every chance—and he had many—with the form of a leaguer. The whole infield was a stone wall and we deserved to win as every man was up and at it in every play. Yorba got into several tight places, but was always saved by his teammates or by masterly pitching. On Saturday morning at Huntington Beach in a listless game marked by much hitting on the part of the Anaheim team, and some miserable fielding by the same team, coupled with just a little bad luck, the home team recceived an unexpected and undeserved defeat. Webb pitched an excellent game, allowing but five scattered hits. Still with his teammates making a total of twelve hits he was unable to pull through with the game to his credit. He did not deserve to lose, but it was evident that the hoodoo had him from the start as well-placed hits were often CHANGES IN SCHOOL Measures Passed by Signed by Governor Radical changes in the of California have been bills just signed at the moment by Governor John bills, together with a fellow, change the tenure school trustees, revolution of apportioning schools lax the stringent laws givenation, permit militarythe high schools and in er ways shake up and school conditions. The same shows the chief changes in the school lawthe late Legislature: Senate Bill 982 change of taking office for so from July 1st to May 1st is already in effect, so the elementary school were elected in April and (but no other) high school are now in office and of transacting any business oversight, the old law boards of trustees to elect a clerk on the first July was not changed; necessary, wherever there was not reelected as treasury superintendent one of the board as formal organization in Another new law (A 1086) empowers trustees teachers for the next on and after June 1st. trustees fail to elect a (or fail to notify an old between June 1st and Ju old teacher's contract of the growth of Anaheim and of the business of its merchants, it will reveal the fact that the neighborhood of the proposed town of Stanton has had a large part in making Anaheim what it is. The community mentioned has itself grown remarkably in the last eighteen months. The number of homes built, and of old ones remodeled, has been a means of gratification to all public spirited citizens. Neglected corners have been cleaned up, homes built upon them, and the population has increased greatly as a result. Orchards are being set out, pumping plants are being installed, land is being leveled, and all appearances are that it is in the future, and the near future at that, to be a community of which any county in the State might well be proud. A stronger factor than this lies in the fact that it is a desirable class of people that is coming in. The Clair M. E. church, half a mile south of the Magnolia school, now has a membership greater than at any other period in its history. The Magnolia school was compelled last September to add one teacher to its staff of two. Property all around has had a steady, substantial growth in price, as well as in real value, as a place for home building. All this does not effect the immediate neighborhood alone, but in a direct way effects Anaheim. Its merchants have drawn from that community for years, and now that the rural district is growing, Anaheim profits accordingly. Now for the town to force through any project that will operate to decrease the price, and the intrinsic value as well, of the property in the region of Stanton, would be a piece of municipal ingratitude, to say the least. It surely seems that the possibility of placing the sewer farm upon the Gilbert ranch by forcing Anaheim's claim through the courts, should be subordinated to the spirit of the square deal. In other words, even if it is proven possible, by a process of law, to locate the sewer farm there, the spirit of fairness would demand that another location be secured. The Anaheim Plain Dealer of April 22, 1911, takes a very fair attitude. Would Anaheim be done by as she purposes to do by the persons living near Magnolia? Does not the spirit of public welfare urge placing this thing as far as possible from any place where it will effect homes and property? Is the cost of a few more miles of pipe to be weighed with the expense incident to a legal dispute with much hitting on the part of the Anaheim team, and some miserable fielding by the same team, coupled with just a little bad luck, the home team recceived an unexpected and undeserved defeat. Webb pitched an excellent game, allowing but five scattered hits. Still with his teammates making a total of twelve hits he was unable to pull through with the game to his credit. He did not deserve to lose, but it was evident that the hoodoo had him from the start, as well-placed hits were often cut off by the beach boys, and runs that looked sure failed to come through, due to poor base running. The strain of the Fullerton game was too much and with the heavy day's work of Friday also having its effect, we lost to a team in every way our inferior. So it goes. But we still rank third in the league and hope to give the Orange team the run of its life on Friday afternoon next at Orange. For the first time in many years the Anaheim high school failed to take high honors in the annual Forensic contest held at Huntington Beach on Saturday. While all the Anaheim contestants did well, a higher grade of excellence was shown than in former years by all the contestants from other schools, and Anaheim failed to land a single first place. The contest was held in the high school auditorium at Huntington Beach Saturday afternoon and evening. The freshman declamation was won by Lee Durham of Orange. His piece was entitled "Uncle Jotham's Spree." The original story of Miss Sophia Hardy of Santa Ana took first place among Sophomore contestants. The humorous essay, "Simon Says 'Thumbs Up,'" by Miss Lois Brownlee of Orange made another first place for that high school. In the Senior orations there was keen competition, as all were of a high order of excellence and a close score was made. First place was taken by John Jay Hopkins of Fullerton, with an oration entitled, "Vox Populil." The school medal was captured by Orange for the third consecutive year, although Huntington Beach was only two points behind in the final score. Much school spirit was shown, although not so large a crowd was present as usual on account of the distance from the center of population. FATS DEFEAT THE LEANS Another new law (1086) empowers trustees teachers for the next on and after June 1st. Trustees fail to elect a (or fail to notify an old tween June 1st and Ju-old teacher's contract goes into effect for this law does not take July 1st, so this year agree with teachers to school and ratify their first Saturday in J.

Military training The Anaheim Plain Dealer of April 22, 1911, takes a very fair attitude. Would Anaheim be done by as she purposes to do by the persons living near Magnolia? Does not the spirit of public welfare urge placing this thing as far as possible from any place where it will effect homes and property? Is the cost of a few more miles of pipe to be weighed with the expense incident to a legal dispute with the residents of the proposed town of Stanton? Is the possible success of the effort worth the loss to Anaheim both in business and in the more vaulable respect which has hitherto been accorded that town by these ranchers? Does not business policy urge the purchase of land farther away at a lower price, even with the added cost of more pipe, rather than the buying of property closer in at a higher price, with the added expense of an involved law suit? It is certainly a case where might does not make right. To place this thing there would be a piece of flagrant injustice. The issue is not only legal, but moral. The touch-stone of fairness should be applied, as well as that of the general public welfare. Sincerely yours, C. W. SHUMWAY.

FATS DEFEAT THE LEANS 12 to 9 Was the Score in a Desperate Game Sunday For seven innings the Fats and Leans battled for the baseball championship of Anaheim on the local diamond Sunday afternoon. While the battle was fought to the bitter end, it was apparent after the first inning that the Leans were hopelessly outclassed by their heavy-hitting opponents, as the score stood three to nothing. Dutch Flala's curves were complicated and tortuous, but the heavy-weights were able to connect with anything that could be reached with a bean pole. The batteries were Flala and Elliott and Hedges and Bowen. Following are the names of the players, with Joe Backs umpiring: Fats: Busch, Bowen, Carroll, Hedges, Huston, Cottle, Voss, Stark, Marshall, Heitshusen. Leans: Abbot, Elliott, Goodrich, Abby, Flala, Slenter, Kalt, Slater, Orr. Vaccination of schools made optional with private Bill No. 655.

CHANGES IN SCHOOL LAWS Measures Passed by Legislature, Signed by Governor Radical changes in the school laws of California have been made by bills just signed at the last possible moment by Governor Johnson. These bills, together with a few signed earlier, change the tenure of office of school trustees, revolutionize the method of apportioning school funds, relax the stringent laws governing vaccination, permit military training in the high schools and in several other ways shake up and rearrange school conditions. The following resume shows the chief effects of the changes in the school laws made by the late Legislature: Senate Bill 982 changes the time of taking office for school trustees from July 1st to May 1st. This law is already in effect, so that all boards of elementary school trustees who were elected in April and all district (but no other) high school boards, are now in office and fully capable of transacting any business. By some oversight, the old law requiring new boards of trustees to organize and elect a clerk on the first Saturday in July was not changed; so it will be necessary, wherever the old clerk was not reelected as trustee, for the county superintendent to appoint one of the board as clerk until the formal organization in July. Another new law (Assembly Bill 1086) empowers trustees to elect teachers for the next ensuing year on and after June 1st. In case the trustees fail to elect a new teacher (or fail to notify an old teacher) between June 1st and June 10th, the old teacher's contract automatically reason announced for the "pocket veto" of all these bills. A complaint sworn to by Sheriff C. E. Ruddock, formally charges Tiburcio Cabello with the murder of Miguel Gonzales at Los Alamitos on the night of April 29. Notice to Creditors Estate of J. A.

The old law made it obligatory, and required the State Board of Health to enforce it. The job proved too big. The new law requires the local boards of health henceforth to close the schools, during epidemics, to children who have not been vaccinated. Military training is permitted to be given in high schools of forty or more pupils, of fourteen years of age, by Senate Bill No. 1253. A regular military organization is provided for, with student officers, uniforms, and target practice with real rifles on the National Guard ranges. Small boys will grieve to hear of Assembly Bill No. 1080, which provides that school shall continue in session on all holidays, except New Year's, Memorial Day, Fourth of July, Thanksgiving and Christmas, except where the board of trustees declare a special holiday, which the bill empowers them to do. Teachers will welcome Assembly Bill No. 1034, which compels financially embarrassed districts to pay 6 per cent interest on school warrants from the proper date of collection until they are actually paid. Students remote from county high schools will be benefited by Assembly Bill No. 946, which permits county boards of education to pay for transporting children to such high schools. Several school bills that had aroused widespread public interest failed to receive the approval of the Governor, and consequently do not become law. Among these are the teachers' pension bill, the bill providing for industrial education in the public schools, and the bill providing for grammar high schools and college high schools.
