YULE TIDE COLORS PROFUSE IN STORES. SANTA CLAUS REIGNS IN THE BUSINESS SECTION OF ANAHEIM Beautiful and Artistic Decorations Greet the Eye on Every Side—The Poinsetta, the Holly and the Autumn Leaves Predominate—Merchants All Carry Heavy Stock of Holiday Goods and Report Satisfactory Sales—Busiest Week of Year. The high cost of living, the adoption of woman suffrage, the coming presidential election, and the numerous other scare head articles which have been crowding the columns of the daily papers the past year and are presumed to have had a deleterious effect on the commerce of the country have not influenced the merchants of Anaheim to an alarming extent in their preparation for the annual holiday trade. All the merchants report a larger stock on hand than ever before, and the sales to date have been more than satisfactory at every place of business. Nearly all the stores are tastefully decorated with the red, the green and the white, the colors of the merry Christmas time, and some of them have added the brown and yellow autumn tints to the more brilliant goods, and everything else that is needed in the sporting line, was decorating his windows with a white design, but had not completed them. He has just received a shipment of the famous Indian Motorcycles for which has been appointed local agent. He also stated that a diminutive engine for display in his decorated window had been ordered and was on the road but it should, not be mentioned as it might fall to arrive in time for Christmas. Books, plain and fancy stationary, toys etc., phonographs, music, candies and a variety of articles so numerous that it is impossible to mention them, were found at Joseph Helmsen's. No particular article was offered as a specialty, but all were being sold on their merits. L. B. Weber's store is brilliant with Christmas bells and red and green decorations. Stationary, books, toys and sheet music are the principal articles offered to the Holiday customers. Picture cards, including Anaheim scenes are also among the numerous art selections in the stock. Eucalyptus buds are mingled with the crimson bells and the red flowers and green vines in Frank Kimball's decorations. Toys were the swiftest selling article here, with stationery and books also good Holiday sellers. Ahlborn & Raymond's store is also decorated with eucalyptus strings in addition to the red and green and the autumn leaves. Young Oregon chants of Anaheim to an alarming extent in their preparation for the annual holiday trade. All the merchants report a larger stock on hand than ever before, and the sales to date have been more than satisfactory at every place of business. Nearly all the stores are tastefully decorated with the red, the green and the white, the colors of the merry Christmas time, and some of them have added the brown and yellow autumn tints to the more brilliant colorings. Holly is in evidence everywhere, and the red and green poinsetta appears to be the favorite flowe with the decorators. Some of the show windows also are works of art. The artist at the S. Q. R. store has constructed an artistic scene, with a profusion of snow and ice, and a polar bear in the foreground. It is something of a contrast to the summer weather outside, but corresponds with the beautiful furs on display in adjoining windows. The windows of Falkenstein's big department store are also tastefully arranged and force the pedestrian to pause and admire. The store is beautifully decorated, the poinsetta, the holly and the antique leaves being used, and the entire place presents a "Merry Christmas" aspect. Mr. Falkenstein, also, is making a specialty of furs for the lady customers just now. Theodore Roberts, the jeweler, is something of an artist, and has his store beautifully decorated with a poinsetta design. Mr. Roberts is making a specialty of silverware and cut glass for the holiday trade, but he says, confidently, that he is having quite a run on diamonds. The 5, 10 to 35c store of C. O. Servatius is a source of joy to the juvenile population. Santa Claus himself is in the show window, which is banked with a snow design, and he is surrounded with toys. Fancy china and toys are the best sellers here, and judging by the crowded condition of the store they are going rapidly. A combination of red and green greet the eye in Heying Bros.' drug store. Leather goods, toilet sets, fancy candles, stationary and perfumery are the principal Christmas articles on sale here, and the force is kept busy wrapping them up for customers. Fritz Yunybluth says his specialty for the Holiday trade is a good suit of clothes—a guarantee fit and a guaranteed fabric. His windows display a few other articles of gent's furnishings, but his specialty is the Anaheim scenes are also among the numerous art selections in the stock. Eucalyptus buds are mingled with the crimson bells and the red flowers and green vines in Frank Kimball's decorations. Toys were the swiftest selling article here, with stationery and books also good Holiday sellers. Ahlborn & Raymond's store is also decorated with eucalyptus strings in addition to the red and green and the autumn leaves. Young Oregon pines for trees are among the specialties mentioned by this house. Poinsettas, roses and holly are used in the artistic decorations at the Mullinix drug store. Mullinix is making a specialty of Kodaks, high grade candies, perfumery, leather goods and toilet sets. A candy tree in the show window illuminated with fourteen diminutive electric lights is the chief attraction at the Mission candy factory. The room is decorated with a poinsetta de sign. William Schumacher, at the Palace Market, was so busy preparing his specialty for the Holiday trade that he was a day or two late with his decorations. His specialty is the turkey, which at this season of the year, crowds the national bird into the background and takes precedence over all fowls. He had a large number of big, fat, juicy birds ready for his customers. A beautiful and unique design is thirteenth cottage completely enveloped in snow in the window of the Boston Bakery. It is illuminated inside with electricity, and is surrounded by a winter scene. One of the Boston's famous productions is fancy cakes for Christmas, Thanksgiving and wedding dinners. Swope Brothers, of the California Wine Company were trying to enliven their place with seasonable flowers, but were so busy putting up Old Crow, Hermitage and Cedar Brook whiskies, Gordon Gin, Three Star Hennessey and Manhattan Cocktails for customers, that they had little time to devote to the work. They are making a specialty of case goods. Just across the street the Orange County Wine Company was found to be equally busy in attending to the demands of their customers, and the decorating was progressing slowly. An automobile was violating the speed laws delivering goods in every direction. All kinds and grades of imported as well as domestic wines and handling oparatus.

Leather goods, toilet sets, fancy candles, stationary and perfumery are the principal Christmas articles on sale here, and the force is kept busy wrapping them up for customers. Fritz Yunvbluth says his specialty for the Holiday trade is a good suit of clothes—a guarantee fit and a guaranteed fabric. His windows display a few other articles of gent's furnishings, but his specialty is the clothes that fit the wearer. The force at H. A. Dickel's had not completed the Christmas decorations when the Gazette man wondered in Saturday night. "We have been so busy selling Holiday goods, explained Mr. Dickel, 'that our decorations have been delayed. Just say that we will have the best decorated store in town.' Christmas bells, and green, red and white colors were being strung throughout the rooms. Glassware, leather goods and cutlery are among the articles Mr. Dickel is pushing for Christmas. Autumn leaves are the decorations used throughout Louis Kroeger's clothing emporium. Oak leaves, elm leaves, hickory leaves, and many others with the scar and yellow coloring, combined with green, are strung on wires above the heads of the customers. "Our specialty for the Holidays," said Louis, "is gent's furnishing goods. We can cloth you from head to foot with the best goods at the smallest cost. We are putting forward no particular articles, but all are in the same class." Wm. H. Houts, the man who handles the A. G. Spalding sporting tails for customers, that they had little time to devote to the work. They are making a specialty of case goods. Just across the street the Orange County Wine Company was found to be equally busy in attending to the demands of their customers, and the decorating was progressing slowly. An automobile was violating the speed laws delivering goods in every direction. All kinds and grades of imported as well as domestic wines and liquors are handled by this house, also all the famous Eastern beers. L. J. Flala, of the Ideal Pool Parlor, remembered the Christmas season by adorning his room with Christmas bells, holly, etc. This house is base ball and foot ball headquarters, and, naturally, one of the finest lines of smokers' supplies in town can be found here. J. E. Walter & Co., at the Center street pool room, are making a specialty of meercheum and briar pipes for the Holiday trade. They also handle Havana cigars manufactured from genuine Cuban leaf tobacco. All the automobile dealers of Anaheim have excellent reputations for truth and veracity, and when each tells you his machine is the best on the market it is apt to addle the brain of the man who tries to believe all of them. As matter of fact the best is a matter of taste. B. V. Beebe, on Center street, is agent for the Everitt. This is a splendid car in appearance; according to Mr. Beebe, also in action.

The track is now used as a regular public service road, but the Trustees were compelled to accept the ruling of the powers at Sacramento. A deed from M. O. Keller, granting a sewer right of way through his property west of the city for a consideration of $400 was received and ordered filed. A communication was read from H.

DYNAMITING A CESSPOOL Two Sticks Exploded at Depth of 28 Feet. The need of sewers was again demonstrated on Saturday afternoon, when two sticks of dynamite were exploded at the bottom of a cesspool 28 feet in depth on rear of the Pacific telephone office building owned by C. O. Rust. The cesspool had filled with water to within three feet of the top, with a thick mass of the debris at the top. The dynamite was applied by Charles Dussourt, an expert in handling explosives. He affixed WATER COMMISSION BILL IS KILLED ASSEMBLYMAN BISHOP LEADS FIGHT AGAINST MEASURE E. E. Keech Returns from Sacramento, Where He Did Good Work Against Proposed Bill, Which Menaced Vested Rights of Irrigators in Orange County and Elsewhere in Southern California—Bill Was Overwhelmingly Defeated in Assembly Attorney E. E. Keech was in town from Santa Ana on Saturday, in conference with the water board. Mr. Keech had just returned from Sacramento, where he went with Francis Cuttle of Riverside and E. D. Roberts of San Bernardino, as a committee representing the Tri-Counties Reforestation committee, to oppose passage of a bill before the legislature providing for the organization of a state water commission. At a meeting of the Reforestation committee at Riverside two weeks ago Mr. Keech condemned the measure, as inimical to rights of irrigators in Orange county and elsewhere in Southern California. Mr. Keech and his associates met former Gov. Pardee and others of the conservation commission, who favored a bill appointing a state water commission, but which would not affect disadvantageously rights of irrigators. The need of sewers was again demonstrated on Saturday afternoon, when two sticks of dynamite were exploded at the bottom of a cesspool 28 feet in depth on rear of the Pacific telephone office building owned by C. O. Rust. The cesspool had filled with water to within three feet of the top, with a thick mass of the debris at the top. The dynamite was applied by Charles Dussourt, an expert in handling explosives. He affixed fuses at the end of the dynamite sticks, which exploded when the bottom was reached. The result was the breaking away of the bottom of the cesspool and the water immediately began sinking. The dynamite exploded with a loud report, and neighbors rushed to the scene to investigate the cause of the report. No damage was done. Cesspools in town have had to be pumped at intervals, the proceeding being an expensive and not altogether pleasant task. JOSEPH BACKS DEPUTY CLERK Succeeds J.M.C. Burke in County Clerk's Office. Joseph M. Backs Jr., for some time past county manager of the Home Telephone Company, was last week named by County Clerk W.B. Williams to be his chief deputy. Backs is a native of this city, and was for years local manager of the Home Telephone company. For efficient service he was promoted to be county manager and has been in active control of the company's county business for several years past. That he will make an efficient and capable deputy goes without saying. County Clerk Williams, himself the most capable man in the office since the establishment of the county, has been particularly happy in selection of his deputies. Deputy Burke, who was last week chosen as city clerk of Santa Ana, to succeed Ed Tedford, resigned, is a capable and painstaking official. As he was a competent deputy clerk, so will he prove to be the right man in the right place as City Clerk of Santa Ana. That Backs will fit into the office to which he has been appointed need be reason for little doubt. Of good education, years of practical experience in office work, with a faculty for making good wherever his duties find him, he ought to make a model assistant to a model county clerk. BALKY AUTO SAVED THEM Intent Was Bad But Their Execution Was In Line With Laws Governing Hunting. A balky automobile saved two Los Angeles men Friday from trial and probably conviction and fining on a charge of hunting before one-half hour before sunrise. The automobile belongs to Deputy State Game Commissioner W.K.Robinson, who lives in Trabuco Canyon. The two Los Angeles men were Henry Pfirrmann and C.H.Moeller, arrested by Robinson on the San Pedro Gun Club preserves charged with shooting before time. Robinson said he had a strong case against Moeller because Moeller's early shots brought down a duck, which Robinson saw. The trial of the cases was set for 11 o'clock Friday morning. The Los Angeles men were accompanied here by Deputy A.I.Bordner of Los Angeles, Robinson failed to appear at 11 o'clock, and when 11:55 arrived Justice Cox dismissed the cases, Bordner saying that he had no evidence except Robinson's. Since Saturday afternoon is a holiday the justice thought it well not to put the case over until Monday, hence the dismissal. At 2 o'clock Robinson got into town. heWn he got ready to start for court twenty miles away, the automobile failed to respond to the crank. Robinson struck out on horseback going his way. He turned his horse loose and accepted a ride, but he got to Santa Ana too ate. GARCIA GETS FIVE, YEARS Head of Gang of Thieves Sent to San Quentin. Francisco Garcia, convicted of burglary in the second degree, was sentenced by Judge West to serve five years in the state prison at San Quentin. Garcia is alleged to have been the head of a gang of burglars and sneak thieves which operated here and in other Southern California towns for several years until it was broken up by the arrest here of Garcia and his wife and Jose Modino for stealing clothing and other articles from local rooming houses. The case against Garcia's wife was dismissed and Modino pleaded guilty and was sentenced to five years in San Quentin, and now that Garcia has been disposed of, the weeding out of a dangerous gang has been satisfactorily completed. J. B. Rea has recovered from a week's illness. Attorney Weisel transacted legal business in the superior court at Santa Ana on Friday. Accept Robinson's. Since Saturday afternoon is a holiday the justice thought it well not to put the case over until Monday, hence the dismissal.

He turned his horse loose and accepted a ride, but he got to Santa Ana too ate. The $25 ball of G. C. Davis was forfeited today when Davis charged with hunting without a license, failed to show up for trial. Davis is an ex-policeman of Los Angeles. Clyde H. Taylor ought to recognize nby this time that aspecial providence seems to leave it to Constable C. E. Jackson to detect and bring Taylor to justice. Early in the week Jackson arrested Taylor at San Juan Capistrano on a charge of passing worthless checks at Santa Ana. Jackson has known Taylor for years, and has sent Taylor to the penitentiary for two years. When Taylor was arrested four days ago he had a horse and surrey in his possession. Jackson set out to find out where Taylor got them. Friday morning a telephone message to Bakersfield brought the information that the horse and a new buggy were stolen from in front of a moving-picture show at Bakersfield on November 30. Taylar drove the rig to Artesia, where he traded the buggy to Peter Vinsen for a surrey and $9. Bakersfield police wanted to prosecute Taylor, but Jackson told them that he would handle Taylor at Santa Ana.
