Miss Susan L. Beebe of this city was the first to enter. She was followed immediately each day's events, which proves what has hitherto been said of it—that the men in charge of it have prepared a program of events which will be second to none ever held in the state. Thousands of visitors are looked for from all portions of Southern California, and entertainment will be provided for each and every one of them. The Anaheim and Fullerton bands will participate in concerts daily, and a list of high-class attractions will be features of each day at the grounds on the corner of Center and Lemon streets. The Carnival will open on Wednesday, Sept. 27, with crowning the queen and presentation to her majesty and court of the freedom of the city by Mayor Rust. A floral parade will be a feature of the morning, and prizes will be awarded the best lady and gentleman horseback rider, and best decorated carriage and automobile. The afternoon and evening will be devoted to band concerts and entertainment of the large throngs within the city's gates. Thursday, Sept. 28, will be devoted to an industrial and agricultural parade, at which appropriate prizes will be given. In the afternoon an exhibition of farm products and livestock will be given, with prizes for best displays. Friday, Sept. 29, will be fraternal-day, and in the morning a parade of fraternal orders of Orange county will hold the boards. Prizes will be awarded for best floats. The local K. P. lodge is barred from the contest. Friday evening a grand ball will be given at the opera house, presided over by the queen. Saturday, Sept. 30, will be aviation day. Aviators Warren S.

A parade of all the companies in Southern California will occur. The day will probably attract a larger number of Pythians to this city than ever gathered together in the south. The complete official program of events is as follows: Wednesday, Sept. 27.—Anaheim Day —9:30 a.m. Crowning of Queen and presenting Freedom of City to Her Majesty by Mayor of City, followed by Grand Floral Parade. Prizes will be awarded to the best VOTING FOR QUEEN Anaheim and Fullerton Misses in the Race Voting for carnival queen is now in progress and great interest attaches to the race. Miss Susan L. Beebe of this city was the first to enter. She was followed immediately by Miss Viola Esmey of Fullerton. Miss Alma Yoern of this city, a prominent Pythian Sister, who was at first suggested as a candidate, has decided to withdraw from the race. This is because of the fact that the Pythians are to an extent in charge of the carnival, and being the largest lodge in Southern California, could easily win the great honor for her. In this view of the case, she has generously decided to retire. It is said the lodge has something handsome in store for her as a result of her generous act. Voting booths are being kept busy at Fischie's candy kitchen, Beebe's garage, S.Q.R. Store, Falkenstein's, Joseph Walters, Ahlborn & Raymond and Kimball stores. It is announced that other ladies will enter the race, and to all the managers of the carnival assure a fair field and no favor. Partisans of Miss Beebe and Miss Esmey are active and a whirlwind contest marks the opening of balloting. COMMITTEES IN CHARGE George W. Hamler Manager-in-Chief of Festivities George W. Hamler has been selected as manager-in-chief of the carnival. He is giving his undivided attention to the task before him, and is proving the right man in the right place.

Love, medical corps, United States Army, has written to the Boy Scouts of America giving instructions in regard to drinking water when in camp or on hikes. The aim is to prevent the boys from becoming infected with typhoid fever or other diseases. Captain Love says boys should follow the same rules that are applied in the army. He explains it is the custom of the medical department to consider all surface waters such as rivers, creeks, lakes, springs, and shallow wells as infected unless the geographical situation shows that the water cannot be contaminated. He says: "It would undoubtedly be safer when out on hiking parties or camping trips, when drinking water can not be carried, to either boil or otherwise sterilize all water for drinking purposes that is not above suspicion." ANAHEIM, CALIFORNIA, THURSDAY. SEPTEMBER 7. 1911 UNMUZZLED DOGS UP FOR SACRAFICE HEALTH OFFICER BEEBE INSISTS UPON ENFORCING ORDINANCE Death of Man from Preventable Disease Arouses Interest in Law Regarded as Dead Letter — Public Health Must Be Preserved—Bite of Dog With Rables in All Cases Fatal — Pasteur Treatment Reduces Death Rate to Minimum Health Officer J. L. Beebe appeared before the board of city trustees on Tuesday evening and urgently suggested that the dog-muzzling ordinance be rigidly enforced. The doctor's visit was prompted by the death of Wm. L. Liles, who succumbed to preventable disease, as the doctor says, on Friday last. Liles was bitten by a young collie dog July 15 last in the right thumb. He made light of the wound, killed the dog and then thought nothing more of it. Last week hydrophobia came on. Liles was taken to a Los Angeles hospital, where he died of hydrophobia in great agony. "Liles' error was in killing the dog," said the doctor. "That destroy- TO COMPLETE HIGHSCHOOL Additional Bond Issue of $35,000 Necessary Trustees of the Anaheim union high school district have called an election for Monday, September 25, for the purpose of voting upon an issue of $35,000 for completing the group of high school buildings now in course of erection in this city. The official call for the election will be found in another column, and will be perused with interest by our readers. Recently bonds in the sum of $100,000 were voted by the union high school and Anaheim grammar districts. Of this sum, $70,000 was for high school buildings. The grammar school voted $30,000, taking over the old high school property at $25,000. This gave the high school district $95,000. Of this amount $20,000 was paid for 11 acres at the corner of Center and Citron streets. This sum it is found is not sufficient to complete the buildings, and the trustees have decided to ask for an additional $35,000 in order to do so. The money will be applied to erection of the administration building, work upon which has not been taken up. The call for bonds has the approval of the board of trade and progressive citizens generally. It is held WANTS A STOCKADE FOR SURPLUS HOBOES REAR OF CITY HALL PROPERTY WILL BE ENCLOSED WITH HIGH FENCE Dr. Beebe, City Health Officer, Demands immediate Action for Protection of Citizens from Hydrophobia at Trustee Meeting Tuesday Night — Marshal Instructed to Act—Electric Light Extension on County Road—Three Building Permits Issued—Other Notes of Meeting The question of more jail room is still exercising the mind of Marshal Kellenberger, and a temporary relief proposition was discussed at special session of the city trustees Tuesday evening. The marshal reported that he now had an average of five prisoners on hand continuously which filled the jail almost to its full capacity, and he was at a loss to know what to do with the drunks, vagrants and other gentry that the police department would be compelled to run in during carnival week. The proposition to enclose the rear of the city hall lots with a stockade ten or twelve feet in height and install a rock pile therein, met with the approval of the board, and Kellenberger was instructed to overhaul the lum- of Wm. L. Liles, who succumbed to preventable disease, as the doctor says, on Friday last. Liles was bitten by a young collie dog July 15 last in the right thumb. He made light of the wound, killed the dog and then thought nothing more of it. Last week hydrophobia came on. Liles was taken to a Los Angeles hospital, where he died of hydrophobia in great agony. "Liles' error was in killing the dog," said the doctor. "That destroyed his diagnosis. Every dog afflicted with rabies dies usually within three days of the appearance of the attack. As in the case of Charley Jester, the dog died immediately after biting him. The head was sent to the state laboratory at Berkeley, where analysis showed evidence of rabies. We treated the boy, and he recovered. When Liles killed the dog, his diagnosis was reduced to guess work. "Every person bitten by a dog with rabies dies. One hundred per cent of people bitten die. With treatment, only one in two hundred die—one-half of one per cent. Hydrophobia is absolutely a preventable disease. There need be no hurry about treatment. Sometimes the disease does not develop for a year. Watch the dog; do not kill him. If he dies, bring in the head and we will examine it. If it has rabies, a cure is certain. "A dog-muzzling ordinance was adopted by the city trustees a year and a half ago. It was at first regarded as a joke. Now it is a dead letter. It ought to be rigidly enforced." The board ordered the marshal to enforce the ordinance, and to kill all dogs without a muzzle. DIED OF HYDROPHOBIA Bitten in Thumb by Pet Collie, Passes Away William Leslie Liles, an employee of Wm. Falkenstein's department store, died at a Los Angeles hospital on Friday, after an illness of three days, following a bite in July from a pet collie dog. Mr. Liles was bitten in the thumb by the dog while at his home on Kroeger street. He suffered no inconvenience from the bite at the time and felt little inconvenience from it. He continued at work in the store until Tuesday evening, when he was taken ill with symptoms of hydrophobia. During the night convulsions developed and his arrest at the corner of Center and Orion streets. This sum it is found is not sufficient to complete the buildings, and the trustees have decided to ask for an additional $35,000 in order to do so. The money will be applied to erection of the administration building, work upon which has not been taken up. The call for bonds has the approval of the board of trade and progressive citizens generally. It is held that with the administration building absent from the group of new buildings, the school will be at a serious disadvantage. The building is probably the most important in the group, and money should be voted to complete it. LARGE REALTY DEAL Ten Acres in West Anaheim Bring $25,000 The largest price ever paid for unimproved realty in Orange county, where agricultural land has already brought the highest figures yet recorded in transfers of real estate in Southern California, is reported this week by the Orange County Realty company. The deal involves the sale of ten acres of land owned by Albert Koesel adjoining the handsome orange tract of John C. Cordes at the West End, to George H. Maxfield of Fullerton for $25,000. This is at a rate of $2500 per acre, and is the highest price so far recorded in this county. The tract contains 675 late Valencia orange trees, and this season's crop is estimated at $8000. Mr. Cordes bought his present holding from Alex Henry three years ago, paying $20,000 for ten acres. His place is set to oranges and contains a handsome residence and other improvements. Mr. Maxfield purchased the property of Mr. Koesel as an investment. It is regarded as one of the best 10 acres in Orange county. ELOPING COUPLE HALTED Violate Speed Ordinance, but Permitted to Pay Fine on Return A speeding auto swinging into Los Angeles street from the north Saturday afternoon, the driver of which was paying no attention to signposts was halted by Motor Cops Norris and Kinney. “You are traveling altogether too afraid of the corner of Center and Orion streets.” This filled the jail almost to its full capacity, and he was at a loss to know what to do with the drunks, vagrants and other gentry that the police department would be compelled to run in during carnival week. The proposition to enclose the rear of the city hall lots with a stockade ten or twelve feet in height and install a rock pile therein, met with the approval of the board, and Kellenberger was instructed to overhaul the lumber pile now owned by the city and select such timber as can be used in its construction. Gates' suggestion that a permanent wall of cement be constructed was favorably received and may be acted upon. The matter will be settled at the next meeting. Dr. J. L. Beebe, city health officer, was present and demanded that some action be taken toward the protection of the people from the possible epidemic of hydrophobia. The recent death of Leslie Liles proved beyond doubt that rabies exists among the dogs and the safety of the public demands that something be done immediately to restrain the many curs that infest the streets. He ridiculed the idea that rabies was caused by heat or lack of water. The dog that bit Liles, he said, had unquestionably been bitten by a mad dog, consequent ly it is reasonable to suppose that other dogs also were bitten, and public safety demands that all dogs be either muzzled or restrained for a sufficient time. City Clerk Merritt produced a copy of the ordinance passed more than a year ago which fully covers this matter, and the marshal was instructed to enforce it. “Eighteen months ago,” said Dr. Beebe, “when that ordinance was passed, we had a scare, but it proved nothing more than a scare, and little or no attention was paid to that ordinance. Today we have genuine hydrophobia in our midst and know that rabies exists among the dogs.” The marshal was instructed to rigidly enforce the ordinance, and stated that he was ready to reduce the dog population. “I will give the owners of a dog one notice to either muzzle or chain him up. If he fails to do so I shall kill him.” George W. Hamler, representing the Knights of Pythias entertainment committee, was before the board with three petitions. He wanted permission to stretch banners across the street, to close up Center street from Lemon to Hermine streets at certain intervals during the carnivals and al- ELOPING COUPLE HALTED Violate Speed Ordinance, but Permitted to Pay Fine on Return A speeding auto swinging into Los Angeles street from the north Saturday afternoon, the driver of which was paying no attention to signposts was halted by Motor Cops Norris and Kinney. "You are traveling altogether too fast," said one of the officers, "you're pinched." "Please, please, don't stop us," pleaded a pretty young lady in the auto. "We are on the way to Santa Ana to get married and the clerk's office will be closed before we can get our license, if you do." The occupants of the auto were Tom Poste, a prominent Los Angeles business man, Miss Edna Masonave, a favorite in theatrical circles with whom he was eloping from the protection of a stern parent, and Mrs. Bertha Hughes, who accompanied them in the capacity of chaperon. The motorcycle officers were somewhat skeptical, but after Mrs. Hughes had talked, Tom Poste had talked, and the would-be bride had added her pleadings, consent was given for them to proceed provided they stopped on the way back and reported. Then the big auto was speeded up again and the trip ended just in time to reach the clerk and get the license before his office closed. After the marriage ceremony was performed the party started on the return to Los Angeles and paused at Anaheim long enough to salve the wounded feelings of the officials. George W. Hamler, representing the Knights of Pythias entertainment committee, was before the board with three petitions. He wanted permission to stretch banners across the street, to close up Center street from Lemon to Hermine streets at certain intervals during the carnival; and also wanted a blanket license granting him exclusive stand privileges. The two first petitions were granted, but City Attorney Ames stated that the council could not grant the latter request without the enactment of a new ordinance. Mr. Hamler wanted a monopoly of the stand rights so that churches and fraternal societies could be given first privileges, and street fakirs, gambling games, etc., kept out. Only one bid was received by the clerk for the construction of the new addition to the power house. W. W. Scott was the bidder and his estimate was $512. This is $60 lower than the bid rejected a few weeks ago, and it was accepted. Building permits were petitioned for and granted as follows: To Frank Baum, frame building in rear on Los Angeles street. Cost $100 To L. Nemetz, alteration of frame building on Olive street. Cost $45. To Bender & Silbernagle, contractors, frame residence on West Broadway. Cost $1200. Miss E. Kate Rea, representing the library board, asked that the insurance on the building for the ensuing year be paid from the general fund, was rejected.

A number of residents on the county road petitioned for an extension of the electric lighting system on that street, agreeing to pay the cost of installation if the city would furnish them the juice. On motion of Stock, Engineer Lewis was instructed to report the probable cost at next meeting. The request of the Union Brewing Co. for more light on Santa Ana street extension was granted. The Anaheim Sanitarium presented a petition asking permission to transform the city's vacant property in the rear of the sanitarium into a park and attach it to that institution was laid over for further considerat ion. The proposition to build a fire house on this property will probably be considered at the next meeting. The petition of C. E. Holcomb for an extension of the water main to the Zeyn tract, a distance of 450 feet, was granted. Two or three parties are preparing to build on the tract and others contemplate doing so in a short time. FROM THE INSURRECTO ZONE Mrs. Margaret Bailey of Mazatlan is spending the week with relatives CELEBRATES BIRTHDAY WITH GARDEN DINNER MRS. LANGENBERGER PASSES SEVENTIETH MILESTONE IN LIFE'S JOURNEY Fifty Years a Resident of Anaheim, and One of Three Remaining Pioneers of Colony of Fifty Who Settled Here Half Century Ago—Family Gathers Under Umbrageous Trees in Garden, Where Festal Board is Spread—Happy Gathering Mrs. Langenberger celebrated her seventieth birthday on Sunday, and entertained at a family reunion at her palatial home at the corner of Lemon and Sycamore streets. Dinner was served in the garden, tables being spread around a mammoth rubber tree, whose umbrageous branches afforded delightful shade to her guests. Those present to greet the hostess and wish her many happy returns of the day were Dr. and Mrs. J. H. Bullard and son of Los Angeles, Mr. and Mrs. Herman Dickel and Percy Dickel, Mr. and Mrs. Turk and Arthur Turk, Mrs. Mabel Jones and Ralph Modjeska of Chicago, who has been a guest of Mrs. Langenberger and family during the week. FROM THE INSURRECTO ZONE Mrs. Margaret Bailey of Mazatlan is spending the week with relatives and friends, accompanied by her son and daughter, who are attending school at Phoenix. Mrs. Bailey has lived in Mazatlan twelve years, and was there during the insurrection when water mains were cut and provisions ran sky high. To add to the gayety of the moment bullets flew at frequent intervals overhead, and the Gunboat Tampico threw shells over the town into the insurgents' ranks. During the siege Americans and other foreigners spent nights in houses near the shore, and a ship, well provisioned with supplies, lay in harbor, ready to take them aboard if their lives should be in danger. While Dr. Bailey and wife occupied one of these temporary residences, a shower of Mauser bullets penetrated the edifice, and feeling they were getting into the danger zone instead of away from it, they moved back to their up-town home, taking a number of refugees with them. It was during the height of the excitement that Gen. Royer and Richard Melrose reached Mazatlan from La Paz. They tried to make the San Juan, hence from Panama, but as they entered the harbor the big steamer holsted anchor for her northern trip. Gen. Royer flashed a wireless message to the San Juan offering $1000 premium for passage for himself and party, but as the Tampico's shells sang merrily overhead, the captain beat it to the wide expanse of the ocean blue. As Gen. Royer and his party stepped ashore at Mazatlan they were met by Dr. Bailey, who had telegraphed Mr. Melrose at Guaymas two weeks before, and escorted to a place of safety. Many stories are told of Gen. Royer's antics while in the beleagured Mexican city. While some of the members of his party took the buck ague, and Dr. Broughton was overcome with illness which gave those about him some concern, the redoubtable general offered to raise an army and go out and suppress the rebellion. When he could rally no recruits, he gave up the job and put being spread around a mammoth rubber tree, whose umbrageous branches afforded delightful shade to her guests. Those present to greet the hostess and wish her many happy returns of the day were Dr. and Mrs. J. H. Bullard and son of Los Angeles, Mr. and Mrs. Herman Dickel and Percy Dickel, Mr. and Mrs. Turk and Arthur Turk, Mrs. Mabel Jones and Ralph Modjeska of Chicago, who has been a guest of Mrs. Langenberger and family during the week. An elaborate feast was discussed at noon, to which all present did ample justice. Mrs. Langenberger was the recipient of many valuable presents on her attaining another milestone on her journey through life, as well as hearty congratulations and good wishes for her future prosperity. The afternoon was spent in social converse and music, Mrs. Jones delighting the company with selections upon the piano. Mrs. Langenberger has lived in Anaheim fifty years, and is one of the three remaining pioneers out of fifty who originally settled here. She has seen the colony grow from a barren desert to a commercial center of great activity. A woman of keen intellect and discernment, she has always taken an active part in developing the resources of the valley,and in her advancing years loses none of her interest in affairs engaging the public attention. For her continued health and happiness she has the best wishes of the entire community. RETIRING FROM BUSINESS Old-Established Furniture House Disposing of Its Stock After being in business in Anaheim for 39 years, the well-known furniture firm of Jos. Backs & Son announce this week their withdrawal from business, and beginning on Saturday next at 9 o'clock a sale will begin with a view to disposing of the stock in fifteen days. The firm has given orders to the Globe Sales and Brokerage Company to turn the stock into cash, and prices have been slashed in every department to the end that the firm's wishes may be compiled with. With that end in view, patrons of this old-established house may look for real bargains in furniture, carpets, iron and brass beds, kitchen chairs, dining chairs, tables, paints and all other articles carried in stock. Such a carnival of real representing the insurer for the ensuing general fund, thousand dollars that the insurance will give the owler notice to either him or her. Many stories are told of Gen. Royer's antics while in the beleagured Mexican city. While some of the members of his party took the buck ague, and Dr. Broughton was overcome with illness which gave those about him some concern, the redoubtable general offered to raise an army and go out and suppress the rebellion. When he could rally no recruits, he gave up the job and put in time chartering all the streetcars in town and treating the entire population of the city to free rides. It is said several dividends were declared during his stay. Another incident of Gen. Royer's trip is his effort to charter a boat from Mazatlan to Guaymas. Bullets were flying more numerously than usual, the general and his party were anxious to get out and Dr. Broughton was threatened with a relapse. Gen. Royer approached the boatman, who bowed politely, said he should be pleased to take the party to Guaymas, and that his price would be $1200. The general fell in a faint, and Dr. Broughton got worse. A day or two thereafter the regular boat came along, and the boatman lowered his price to $400. What the general said to him made him faint. Mrs. Bailey says matters have regained their normal composure in Mexico since the rebellion, and that all parties are looking forward to prosperous times. She was guest of honor at a dinner given by Gen. Royer at his palatial West Side residence one evening last week, at which a large party sat down to an elaborate spread. She will remain in California some weeks before returning to her home in the south. stock in fifteen days. The firm has given orders to the Globe Sales and Brokerage Company to turn the stock into cash, and prices have been slashed in every department to the end that the firm's wishes may be complied with. With that end in view, patrons of this old-established house may look for real bargains in furniture, carpets, iron and brass beds, kitchen chairs, dining chairs, tables, paints and all other articles carried in stock. Such a carnival of real bargains was probably never before offered in this city, and the public will not be slow to take advantage of them. Furniture at your own figures will be the slogan, and no one looking for a bargain will be permitted to depart unsatisfied. Joseph Backs has been in business in this city 39 years, and has always borne an upright and honorable reputation. He is desirous of retiring from business, having by years of industry and frugality amassed a competence, and now offers his patrons such genuine bargains in all lines as will convert his stock into cash on short notice.
