SEWER CONSTRUCTION PROGRESSING RAPIDLY SIX AND ONE-HALF MILES FINISHED TO PRESENT DATE Work South of Center Street Will Be Finished Within Two Weeks, and Entire System Completed by the Middle of April—No Obstacles Encountered Except Occasional Sand Pits—A Force of Thirty-Five Men Are Now Engaged on the Work Extremely satisfactory is the progress so far made in the construction work of the Anaheim sewer system. Very few obstacles have been met with to delay the work, and if the present good luck is maintained to the end the entire system will be completed before the middle of April. The only cause of delay has been the striking of an occasional sand pit. In ordinary soil only half the trench is excavated—in blocks six feet long, leaving six foot blocks between to be tunneled, but when a bed of sand is reached the entire trench must be dug and the whole cribbed with boards to prevent a cave-in. Several of these beds have been encountered in the section south of Center street. The total length of the pipe to be laid inside the city limits is 81,000 feet, or about sixteen miles. Six and one-half miles of pipe have already been laid, all of it south of Center street with the exception of two for Huntington and Lewis. Next Sunday the Henry & Cornett team will be with us and as it is another of "Press Agent" Mueller's pets the chances are 'hat Anaheim will get it again. Scotty Allen umpired Sunday's game and did a pretty good job of it. He has been appointed to succeed one Jerry Abbot who it will be remembered made a memorable appearance on the local grounds a few weeks ago. One particularly good thing that can be said of Allen is that he is no pet of "Press Agent" Mueller. BOARD OF SUPERVISORS Award Bids for Furnishing Supplies at Courthouse The supervisors opened bids for desk and filing cases for the office of the County Recorder and awarded the contract for supplying same to the Bowen Metal Furniture Company for $235. Other bidders were A. F. Andrews, $325; J. L. Davidson $290; Art Metal Construction Company, $395. Bids for furnishing automobile service as advertised for by the supervisors were ordered tabled, and it is altogether possible that nothing further will be heard of the plan. The resignation of Constable Robt. Squires was accepted and the appointment of F. W. Heard made to fill the place. County Clerk Williams was instructed to advertise for bids for furnishing copies of maps of certain tracts on record in Los Angeles county but not on record here. Supervisor Leck was authorized to spend not to exceed $200 for road tween to be tunneled, but when a bed of sand is reached the entire trench must be dug and the whole cribbed with boards to prevent a cave-in. Several of these beds have been encountered in the section south of Center street. The total length of the pipe to be laid inside the city limits is 81,000 feet, or about sixteen miles. Six and one-half miles of pipe have already been laid, all of it south of Center street with the exception of two short laterals connecting Dr. Paschal's rooming house and the High School with the main. Of the pipe laid up to date one mile is twelve inch main, three fourths of a mile ten inch, one mile eight inch, and three and three fourths miles six inch. The entire system south of Center street will be completed within two weeks unless some unforeseen delay occurs. The force is now working on a main through the alley south of Center street and east of Los Angeles. This line is surveyed directly to the center of the Santa Fe depot, and when the excavators reach that point they will pass under the building. There are no turns or curves or twists in the survey. If a house or barn, or orchard is in the way of a direct line the tunnel passes under it, and the owner will be reimbursed for any damages he may sustain. The sewer pipe must be laid on an established grade without reference to the surface of the ground, and the fact that Anaheim is built on a plain almost as level as a table makes the work much easier. Within two weeks the force of thirty-five men engaged in the work will have completed the seven miles of pipe south of Center street and will be transferred to the north side where nine miles remains to be laid. Within three months, unless some unforseen delays occur, the work will be finished and the mains connected with the fourteen inch outfall sewer on Santa Ana street, four hundred feet east of the Union Brewing Company's plant. This pipe will carry the sewage to the Gilbert farm recently purchased by the Trustees, four miles southwest of the city. All the work is being done under the direction of Robert Cogburn, the inspector, whose eagle eye sees that nothing goes amiss.

A telegram received by the sheriff recently told him to bring the young man with him. Marshall will remain here a day or two longer visiting friends and when he leaves young Manning will have to go to answer to a charge of felony. He was arrested at Fullerton. Clyde H. Taylor, charged with passing a worthless check on H. H. Kelly, is to have his preliminary examination on December 29. He was in court this morning in charge of Constable Jackson, who arrested him. Jackson was largely responsible for convicting Taylor of stealing Judge Towner's automobile, for which offense Taylor served two years in San Quentin. Taylor's bond was fixed this time at $1500. He wanted it reduced, and said he thought his folks might raise it for him. Leroy E. Russell, a big fellow wearing a Socialist badge, was in court for arraignment on a charge of felony, the stealing of Henry Seldel's motorcycle. He stated he rode a bicycle here from San Francisco, and camped at the West Orange school house, inside which Seldel's motorcycle was found. The man denied that morning that he stole the motorcycle.

The latter team has improved if anything since its last appearance here while the locals have traveled in the opposite direction at a rapid rate. This makes the fifth or sixth time the two teams have lined up against each other and this defeat Sunday was the worst that the locals have ever received. Du Bols, as usual, got his bumps with great regularity, while the hitless wonders behind him lived up to their reputation of being about the easiest bunch of marks a twirler ever went up against. Outside of a home run by Miller, the Merchants hard hitting first baseman and masterly pitching of Wells, there were no features worthy of mention. On paper the Anaheim team has looked to be about the strongest aggregation that has ever represented the 'own but when it came to winning games it has been about the weakest. The management has bankrupted itself' in an attempt to get a strong team together but to no avail. With the possible exception of Fisher the old players have not done anything while the new players have proven themselves to be about 18-karat frosts. Joe Hendrichs and Benny Carpenter, who have always heretofore delivered the goods, have done but little, the same can also be said court for arraignment on a charge of felony, the stealing of Henry Seidel's motorcycle. He stated he rode a bicycle here from San Francisco, and camped at the West Orange school house, inside which Seidel's motorcycle was found. The man detailed that morning that he stole the motorcycle. Constable Jackson has a collection of tools flashlights and other articles believed to have been stolen by Russell. A piece of fumigation tent, used by Russell as part of his bedding, is thought to have been stolen from Theodore Ford of West Orange.

Rinaldo, of Saratoga, a famous breeder and owner, and B. B. Abercrombie, of Chicago, turf editor and one of America's authorities on the harness horse. GRAND JURY ASKS QUESTIONS Wants to Know Why Bonds Have Not Been Voted for Roads For the first time in the history of the county there was a public conference at Santa Ana on Saturday between a grand jury and a Board of Supervisors. It was not meant as an investigation but rather as an opportunity for reaching a better understanding as to the aims of each body. The grand jury felt that its work would be in vain were it to make recommendations that might never be carried out, and for that reason it thought it best to meet with the Supervisors and present their views on various subjects. Members of the grand jury stated that it was their opinion that he county ought to let its drug business out to bids instead of leaving it to be awarded from day to day by the County Physician. C. S. Holbrook of the grand jury stated that the warrants show that the bulk of the drug business has been going to one drug store. The Supervisors agreed with the grand jury that the county should have a poor farm and a county hospital and it seems, probable that a bond election will grow out of the conference, the bonds to be for the establishment of the institution. The grand jury called attention to the fact that the padded cell of the County Jail cannot be heated, while much of the jail has to be heated with oil stoves. The Supervisors said their attention had never been called to the defect, and it would be remedied at once. A. K. Cravath, a grand juror, stated that a jailer risks his life every time he opens the door of the felony ward, and it was generally agreed that a system of locking doors by levers should be supplied at once. The grand jury wanted to know why but she thought he was only joking. Saniger pleaded guilty to bigamy and was sentenced to ten years in San Quentin. His second wife brought suit to annul the marriage and the decree has been given her. A Mexican bought a revolver, ammunition and a knife at Hawley's gun store and offered an $82.50 check It was refused, and the Mexican picked up his purchases and left. Mrs. Hawley followed him to the postoffice and made him give up the articles. When an officer was called, none of the Hawleys could give a description of the man. Marriage licenses: G'enn A.

STONE SMASHES RECORDS The value of the production of the stone quarries of the United States during 1910 was the largest in the history of the industry and was more than double that of 1900, the figures being respectively $76,520,584 and $36,970,777. The output for 1910, according to Ernest F. Burchard, of the United States Geological Survey, shows an increase over that of 1909 of $5,175,385, or more than 7 percent. The increase in stone production of all the principal sorts has been not able during the last few years, as is shown by the following statement, all the classes having heavily increased except bluestone. Pennsylvaniathe greatest stone producer in 1910, with an output, secretary of the Baltimore club when it was three-times pennant winner of the National league. There were no ring fatalities among professional pugilists during the year, neither were any deaths recorded among fighters of prominence. Louis Long, of Oakland, Cal., was the only fighter of any note to die. Several old-timers passed away, among them Charlie Keever at one time one of the best of Philadelphia's light weights, and "Hank" Griffin, the well known colored heavyweight. Well known to followers of pugilism were Malachi Hogan, the Chicago referee and sporting writer; Eddie Smith, the San Francisco referee; Emil ("Pop") Coulon, father and manager of Bantamweight Champion Johnny Coulon; John H. Cusack, of Brooklyn, who was John L. Sullivan's backer, and William A. Pearce, of Boston, who had managed Jack Johnson, J. Walcott, George Dixon, Marvin Hart and other noted fighters. The losses of the year in the turf world included August Uihlein, of Milwaukee, owner of The Harvester and other famous trotters; David C. Johnson, who achieved his widest prominence as the owner of Roseben; Otis Bort, of Flushing, N.Y., who drove the famous Flora Temple in the early '70s; W. S. O'Brien of Waukegan, Ill., a well known trainer of trotting horses; Martin V. Walls, of Columbus, O., for many years a Grand Circuit judge; Alta P. McDonald, a well known horseman of Albany, N.Y.; Fred Clarke, of Providence, well known as a trainer on Grand Circuit tracks; Myron E. McHenry, of Genethe fact that the padded cell of the County Jail cannot be heated, while much of the jail has to be heated with oil stoves. The Supervisors said their attention had never been called to the defect, and it would be remedied at once. A. K. Cravath, a grand juror, stated that a jailer risks his life every time he opens the door of the felony ward, and it was generally agreed that a system of locking doors by levers should be supplied at once. The grand jury wanted to know why the Good Roads Commission and the Supervisors had not gone ahead with calling a good roads bond election. The supervisors replied that there were two reasons. One was that they wanted to see what the state Highway Commission is going to do, and the other is that they want to watch the experiments of other counties in road building that they may get the best system for improvement. BIGAMIST LOSES WIFE Second Spouse of Santa Ana Man Is Given Freedom from Man Who Was Given Ten Years Mrs. Joseph E. Saniger, No. 2, is again Miss Edith L. D. Hadlock. Judge West has granted her a decree annulling her marriage here in October to Saniger. Saniger was a student at the College of Osteopathy in Los Angeles, and there met Miss Hadlock, a stenographer. After Saniger brought her to Santa Ana and married her, she was arrested for bigamy on the complaint of his first wife, a hair-dresser of Los Angeles. Saniger invited his first wife to the wedding, $36,970,777. The output for 1910, according to Ernest F.

Twenty-four states produced stone to the value of $1,000,-000 or more. For use in road making 18,085,170 short tons of crushed stone was produced, valued at $11,911,246, a slight decrease in both quantity and value compared with the figures for 1909. For use in making concrete the production of crushed stone in 1909 and 1910 was 11,001,611 tons (value $7,011,-150) and 13,967,940 tons (value $8,957,-098), respectively. The statistics of stone are shown in an advance chapter from "Mineral Resources" for 1910 just issued by the United States Geological Survey.
