ANAH VOLUME XXXXI CITY'S ELECTRICAL LINES OF GLOBES OF EVERY VARIEGATED HUE Thousands to Adorn Streets During Nights of Carnival Like a leaf taken from the Arabian Nights will the city's streets appear during the nights of the Carnival, With thousands of electrical globes of every varigated hue overhead, the scene will be one of truly oriental splendor. The center of illumination will be from Claudina to Clementina streets on Center and from Chartres to Chestnut on Los Angeles. Added to the colored lights which will be hung this week and next by City Electrician Lewis and Gene Adams, will be the many artistic private displays of lights which have made our city's streets famous. There is no question that Anaheim is the best lighted city of its size on the coast, and with the installation of new ornamental clus.

Added to the colored lights which will be hung this week and next by City Electrician Lewis and Gene Adams, will be the many artistic private displays of lights which have made our city's streets famous. There is no question that Anaheim is the best lighted city of its size on the coast, and with the installation of new ornamental clusters of electric lights on business streets the city will take rank in this respect with the largest cities on the coast. Anaheim will set a new mark Carnival week along this line, and visitors who come to spend the day will not miss the opportunity of seeing what we can do with electric illumination. The beauty of it all is that these lights are furnished by the city at cost, and there are no large-sized profits flowing therefrom into coffers of great corporations. The city's municipal electrical lighting plant will be taxed to the utmost to do it, but Engineer Lewis says the power-house will respond to all demands made upon it. Beside the incandescent lights will be the many street arcs and outside lights, notably those along Walnut and South Los Angeles streets. A drive under these lights is a pleasure following one of our warm September days, and during Carnival week will be converted into a dream of delight. Anaheim has attempted some notable feats in electrical illumination in the past, but its present effort is destined to eclipse all past endeavors. The lights will be turned on early next week to give them a try-out. Beginning on Wednesday evening of next week, the night of the opening day of the Carnival, the lights will remain on until midnight, and there is talk of keeping them on until 2 o'clock in the morning. The opening day will be one of regal splendor, what with crowning the Queen and the subsequent flower parade. Yet the night will have its attractions none less. A grand band concert and entertainment will be on at the Carnival grounds, corner of Center and Lemon streets. With myriads of colored electric lights overhead, music and a string of high-class attractions, the Mother Colony will begin the first of her night's festivities with a flash of light and a blare of brass which will linger long in the memory of those fortunate enough to be present. HOW THRONGS WILL BE FED Pythian Sisters and Rebekahs Will Serve Lunches A problem confronting Director-General Hamler is the feeding of the thousands of visitors who will be here during Carnival week. All eating houses in the city have been notified to prepare to serve meals to their utmost capacity, and the hotel and restaurants have agreed to care for 1000 people each daily. It is confidently believed that not less than 5000 can be thus accommodated. Added to the city's excellent eating houses will be a number of booths maintained by ladies, who will serve lunches, coffee and ice cream. The Pythian Sisters will open a booth upon the vacant lot next the postoffice. Rebekahs will maintain a booth at the corner of Center and Philadelphia streets. Numerous other booths and lunchstands will be opened, and it will be the aim of the management to see that all visitors are properly fed. Churches will also serve lunches, and many dinners are being planned at private residences. On Sunday, the closing day of the Carnival, which will be marked by a parade of Pythian Knights, at least 10,000 people are expected. Feeding of these visitors will be no easy task, but plans are making to the end that their every want shall be supplied. Mr. Hamler has issued instructions that no single visitor shall go unfed, and right royally are the eating houses, lodges and churches responding to his appeal.

DOINGS ON BIG MIDWAY Carnival Company Provides New and Novel Attractions More than one dozen separate shows, with twenty concessions, some of the latter furnishing enough amusement in themselves to repay the visitor, will combine in one of the most attractive and entertaining midways that has ever been put under canvas in Southern California. It is under the direction of the California Carnival Company, an amusement organization only recently perfected, but which is fast outbidding all competitors and meeting with the hearty approval and endorsement of press and public in every town that has so far been visited.

Brigadier General J. O. Royer Booster-in-Chief of Anaheim and it's Carnival Brigadier General J. O. Royer Booster-in-Chief of Anaheim and it's Carnival CONTEST FOR QUEEN Active Rivalry Between Three Aspirants for Honors Miss Blanche Mickel this week retired from the contest for Queen of the Carnival. After receiving a very flattering vote at the outset, she decided not to continue longer in the race, greatly to the regret of her many friends. Miss Mickel's withdrawal leaves three candidates contesting for the prize, namely, Miss Susan L. Beebe o this city, Miss Esmay of Fullerton and Miss Magee of Olinda. At the moment Miss Beebe is regarded as leading by a small majority, with Miss Magee a formidable competitor, and Miss Esmay coming up fast. The result will not be announced until next Tuesday evening. Friends of each of the three candidates are active in their support, and the next few days will tell the story. Miss Beebe has strong support in the city, and the fact that she was first in the race is her favor. Miss Esmay has strong following in Fullerton, and from Olinda comes report that Miss Magee is polling a strong vote. The honor is worth striving for, and rivalry among friends of the ladies is acute. CARNIVAL MEN HERE Director of Shows and Press Agent Pay a Visit F. G. Kaufman, superintendent of shows and concessions of the California Carnival company, which will furnish the fun on Anaheim's big midway during the coming celebration, arrived yesterday to confer with Director-General Hamler regarding final arrangements for the big shows. Lee Hamilton, press representative for the company, arrived Monday going to Burbank last night with Mr. Kaufman to help look after things at the carnival there, which opens today. Mr. Hamilton is quite well-known in Southern California newspaper circles, having formerly worked in Los Angeles, San Diego, San Bernardino and other cities. His business is to supply the papers with information on what the public is to expect from the carnival company. Geo. W. Hamler General Director of the Carnival AZETTE CALIFORNIA STATE LIBRARY ER 21, 1911 NUMBER 49 ON TO BE SUPERB MOVING PICTURES TO BE MADE OF PARADES Carnival Sights to be Exhibited On Knights Eastern Tour One of the most interesting features of Carnival week is involved in the suggestion of Gen. J. O. Royer, to have a series of moving pictures of the various parades, the same to be exhibited on the tour of Knights of Pythias throughout eastern cities on the occasion of their trip to the biennial encampment at Fort Worth, Texas. It is Gen. Royer's purpose to have California make the best showing, numerically as well as otherwise, of all the visiting states in the union. Knights from the Golden State, together with their brethren from the Pacific Slope, will attend the encampment on special trains, and along the route uniformed companies of Arizona. LIST OF PRIZES $100 for Best Float—$300 for Pythian Competition. Notable are the prizes offered by the Carnival management. Principal among them is $100 offered for the best float, a $75 silver cup for the second. Many other valuable prizes are also offered, a complete list being subjoined. For the Pythian competition on Sunday $300 in cash is offered, distributed in six prizes of $50 each. The official list of prizes, coupled with the days of the carnival upon which they are offered, is as follows: Sept. 27.—Lady rider first and sec- Knights of Pythias, by all companies in California. As from Los Angeles Anaheim on the South-East Santa Fe roads at 9 and evening Free Madam Sehill, and forming Lions. be exhibited on the tour of Knights of Pythias throughout eastern cities on the occasion of their trip to the biennial encampment at Fort Worth, Texas. It is Gen. Royer's purpose to have California make the best showing, numerically as well as otherwise, of all the visiting states in the union. Knights from the Golden State, together with their brethren from the Pacific Slope, will attend the encampment on special trains, and along the route uniformed companies of Arizona and New Mexico will be picked up. California will act as host to their coast brethren, and Anaheim will be the King-pin lodge of the delegation. With Gen. Royer at its head, offering substantial inducements to members to accompany the party, there is no question that Company 26 will be a star feature at the meeting. Lengthy reels showing sights in the various parades are in contemplation, showing not only their spectacular features, but also devoting attention to fraternal and industrial displays. The latter are to embrace films showing the making of sugar at the Anaheim mill, the manufacture of flour at the Olive mill, packing-house and cannery scenes, and other photographs showing fraternal and industrial features of the community. All these will be shown at Forth Worth and later throughout the southern and eastern states, through which Gen. Royer will escort all local and coast Knights. New Orleans will be visited first, and then will come a tour of Gulf and Atlantic States, touching at Birmingham, Atlanta, Savannah, Richmond, and up the eastern coast to Philadelphia, Washington, New York and other cities. The route lays thence across the line into Canada, and west over the Canadian Pacific to Vancouver, Puget Sound, Seattle, Portland, San Francisco and Los Angeles. At each of these points exhibitions of the films will be made, with accompanying lectures. Distribution of literature and descriptive booklets will also be a part of the good work, and more attention will be directed to this city than ever before in its history. The trip will not be for pleasure alone, as there will be much to do and much to learn for the future welfare of this section. In Florida, for instance, the Knights will inform themselves as to methods of orange culture, with a view to comparing horizontal operations in that state as contrasted with those in vogue here.

SCOTCH PIPERS IN LINE Laird of Caledonia Will Pilot Highlanders in Parade Alexander Henry, the Laird of Caledonia, and mascot of Company 26, has been in correspondence with members of the Caledonia club of Los Angeles with a view to procuring a delegation of Scotch pipers in line for the carnival. Mr. Henry on Monday received word from the head The trip will not be for pleasure alone, as there will be much to do and much to learn for the future welfare of this section. In Florida, for instance, the Knights will inform themselves as to methods of orange culture, with a view to comparing horizontal operations in that state as contrasted with those in vogue here. Sugar beet culture in Colorado will also be looked into, and Minnesota's flouring mill industry will not be overlooked. Gen. Royer's purpose is to bring back local Knights better informed of conditions elsewhere than ever before, to the end that Anaheim might profit by the examples of other cities. The entire scheme is a prodigious one, but with the boundless energy and indomitable will of Gen. Royer, there can be but one outcome. It will be the grandest trip ever undertaken by a fraternal organization, and its many unique features will be such as to command attention from one end of the country to the other. How many thousands of people will view the moving pictures exhibited throughout the east and Canada is beyond conjecture, but that the number will be large, and the resultant advantage to this section magnificent, is not to be doubted. That Anaheim numbers among its citizens one whose every thought seems to be for the upbuilding of the community is greatly to its credit, and from one end of the community to the other Gen. Royer's praises are being sung. All that he asks in return for his liberal-spirited munificence is the hearty support of our people, and this he has to the brim, full and running over. SCOTCH PIPERS IN LINE Laird of Caledonia Will Pilot, Highlanders in Parade Alexander Henry, the Laird of Caledonia, and mascot of Company 26, has been in correspondence with members of the Caledonia club of Los Angeles with a view to procuring a delegation of Scotch pipers in line for the carnival. Mr. Henry on Monday received word from the head of the organization that six Highland Pipers in costume will be in Friday's parade. Mr. Henry will wear his kilties, and pilot the visitors. The highlanders will attend the queen's ball at the opera house on Friday evening, and will dance the Sailor's Hornpipe, Highland Fling and Sword Dance. The Scotchmen will be a great feature of Friday's parade. AUTOMOBILE RACES Miss Lillian Yaeger of Fullerton Ready to Meet All Comers Director-General Hamler is busy arranging a program of sports for the carnival, principal among which will be a series of automobile races. An event engaging much interest is the probability of a race between Miss Lillian Yaeger of Fullerton and another Orange county girl for a purse of $1000. The identity of the challenger is not revealed, but Miss Yaeger stands ready to meet all lady comers. Mr. Hamler states the lady who can beat Miss Yaeger may take away with her $1000 of real money. Manager Hamler has secured a tent 96x230 feet for exhibition purposes at Carnival grounds. He informs us the list of exhibits already are more than enough to fill it, and he is negotiating for another.
