RAIN BREAKS DROUTH Long-Delayed Downpour Means Millions to County The longest period of drouth in the history of the county was broken this week, when the downpour to Monday afternoon, when skies were clearing, amounted, according to Mr. Diekel's gauge, to .96 of an inch. Total for the season, 3.13 inches; last year to date, 10.28. The heaviest rain occurred on Sunday night, when half an inch fell. Showers on Monday and on Friday totaled the figures indicated. Indications were good for more rain Monday night, but none fell. Tuesday the skies were cloudy, but no showers descended. The rain means millions to farmers of the county. Fifteen hundred acres of beets planted for the Anaheim factory, which had not yet appeared above ground, will as a result of the downpour make good stand. Planting will proceed vigorously, and EVANS ANNOUNCES CANDIDACY Former Mayor Is In Race for Congress and Will Stand as Progressive The Riverside Enterprise of Feb. 29th makes formal announcement of the candidacy for congress of S. C. Evans, former mayor and present chairman of the city park board. The Enterprise states that Mr. Evans will make his campaign as a "progressive" and an earnest supporter of Governor Johnson, and the policies for which he stands. Mr. Evans made an admirable record as mayor of Riverside, which position he filled for five years and during that time served with great acceptability as president of the league of California municipalities. He has a large acquaintance through the district and is understood to have received many offers of support from influential republicans in the larger counties which comprise the district. His qualifications for the position are of a high order and it is expected that he will make an aggressive campaign for the nomination. Mr. Evans has made the following statement to the press: "I have been requested in person by a very considerable number of Riverside county people to allow my name to be used as a candidate for congressman in the new eleventh district, in harmony with progressive ideas, and I have had considerable support offered from the other counties of the district, especially from San Bernardino county. I am and always have been a progressive republican, have never received prefer- red on Sunday night, when half an inch fell. Showers on Monday and on Friday totaled the figures indicated.

Fifteen hundred acres of beets planted for the Anaheim factory, which had not yet appeared above ground, will as a result of the downpour make good stand. Planting will proceed vigorously, and a full acreage is expected. Grain and hay crops were greatly benefited, and with succeeding showers will yield good crops. A large area of beans will be planted, as well as tomatoes and other vegetables. Rain fell again on Tuesday afternoon and evening, amounting to .55 of an inch up to 6 o'clock yesterday morning, making 1.48 for the storm. Yesterday the weather was cloudy, and indications were good for more rain. TALKING OF BUILDING Ebell Society Will Soon Erect Ornate Structure The Ebell Society held a very interesting meeting Saturday afternoon in the Odd Fellows hall with a fairly good attendance. After a short paper on Economics by Miss May McKinley of Los Angeles, which was enjoyed by all, a question box with questions was opened on economics. The committee which was appointed at the last monthly meeting for the selection of sites for the new Ebell clubhouse, reported that they had had several offers and all these were submitted. They said that more sites were to be offered and that they wished more time. They will report at the next monthly session. The sentiment expressed on Saturday was divided as to the location, some wanting a site in the business section, while others desired a site in a more quiet place. The discussion of the building which was informal seemed to be that the lot should not cost over $2,000 and the clubhouse should cost about $8000 or $10,000, something to be a credit to the town and to the club. The movement was started at the last monthly meeting, when a number of state officers were present. The committee in charge of the sites is the Misses Janss, Zeus and Kemper. A bazaar was decided upon for next November so that the "I have been requested in person by a very considerable number of Riverside county people to allow my name to be used as a candidate for congressman in the new eleventh district, in harmony with progressive ideas, and I have had considerable support offered from the other counties of the district, especially from San Bernardino county. I am and always have been a progressive republican, have never received preference or emoluments from any source inimical to good government, and I am under no obligation to any such influence. I came to Riverside in 1876 and have lived here practically all my life. "I have interested myself in municipal and state government as it applies to the needs of California, and have endeavored to take my part in those activities. By the will of the people and the help of many friends I have been enabled to occupy some positions of trust where I have shared in the accomplishment of some things of consequence. "I am not a politician nor yet an angel. I have made mistakes and also accomplished some things. The ideas I stand for are the expression of quite a few years past, and before the present state progressive movement was started as an organization those were my ideas and my political platform, and from them I have not changed or swerved. "I supported Governor Johnson at the primaries and after he was nominated and am a firm believer in his administration and the policies he stands for; as a candidate for congress I hope to stand for the same things that Johnson stands for in this state and Roosevelt stands for in the nation." 25 YEARS WEDDED Dakota Friends Surprise Mr. and Mrs. Eygabroad on Anniversary Although they had apparently forgotten it themselves old-time Dakota friends of Mr. and Mrs. Charles Eygabroad remembered that on Friday, March 1st, they had been married just twenty-five years, the day fixed by custom for a silver anniversary.

HELMSEN Dakota friends of Mr. Mrs. Charles Eygabroad remembered that on Friday, March 1st, they had been married just twenty-five years, the day fixed by custom for a silver anniversary. Accordingly without invitation and without previous notice twenty-five guests invaded their home on that date carrying with them presents of silverware and overflowing baskets, besides congratulations and good wishes. The gathering was a remarkable one from the fact that the twenty-five guests were all friends and neighbors of Mr. and Mrs. Eygabroad in Dakota, and with two or three exceptions are now residents of Anaheim or its vicinity. Following is a list of those present: Mr. and Mrs. S. C. Hartranft and son Glen, Mr. and Mrs. C. E. Lacey, Misses Florence and Hazel Lacey, Mr. and Mrs. G. H. Goodale and Miss Helena Goodale, Mr. and Mrs. W. J. Elliott, Mr. and Mrs. E. M. Hollingshead, Mr. and Mrs. Griffin, J. D. Lavin, Mrs. Downey, Mr. and Mrs. H. Calkins, Mr. and Mrs. J. S. Sheridan, Mrs. A. B. Stearns, Dr. and Mrs. Geo. E. Countryman, of Aberdeen, S. D., and A. W. Eygabroad of Fredericksburg, Iowa. It was midnight before the party grew tired of recalling reminiscences of old Dakota days, and the guests left for their own homes. A GOOD SHOW The colored minstrels were witnessed by a large and appreciative audience here last Tuesday evening. It is very seldom that we get to see as good a minstrel show as this one except in the larger cities. The darkies were right there, both in singing and dancing and were encored to almost every number. The show carries a fine brass band which rendered some excellent music—Genesco Post.

HANSEN, 122 East Center St., Anaheim WAS A SMOOTH JAP Slipped One Over Santa Ana Bank for Big Wad S. Senzaki, a smooth son of Nippon is wanted at Santa Ana and elsewhere in Southern California for forgery, but at last accounts he had such a start of the officers of the law that his arrest is doubtful. Senzaki came to Santa Ana from Los Angeles several months ago and entered the employ of I. Iguchi, a Japanese rancher near Bolsa. He is an educated Jap and before long he was given business commissions by his employer who soon depended on Senzaki for advice and assistance, be known as his employer's representative. Then one fine day not long since Senzaki appeared at the bank and presented a check signed for Iguchi for the sum of $197, which was duly paid and Senzaki got the money. A few days later the check was found to be a forgery as Iguchi had never signed it, and when search for Senzaki was made it was discovered that the latter had left for parts unknown. Last week Senzaki was heard from in Los Angeles, but when an officer endeavored to locate him it was learned that he had moved on and it is be lieved he went north. LEARN OF OSPREYS' HABITS Ornithologists Gather Knowledge From Visits of Birds to Islands Near New York A great colony of ospreys, or fishhawks, built their nests at one time upon the property of various owners of land on an island near New York, a circumstance that enabled ornithologists to gather some interesting data with respects to the breeding habits of this bird. One osprey's nest was built upon a pile of old fence rails, only seven or eight feet from the ground. It had been added to annually until its bulk of sticks, sods, decayed wood, seaweed and the like amounted to something like three cartloads. Two other nests were built in cedar trees. These too had been occupied every year for many seasons, and had been increased by the addition of fresh material, until they filled the whole upper parts of the trees. In the wooded parts of the island the nests were very numerous. The larger trees in the interior of the wood were all occupied, and on the edge of the wood every tree, large or small, had at least one nest, and some of them two or three. On the sandy plain beyond the woods a hundred or more nests were built on the ground, and on the north shore, where the beach was strewn with boulders, almost every one of the larger rocks had a nest on it. When one investigator approached some of the nests, the older birds flew silently away and did not return until all was quiet. In other cases the hawks were noisy, and even showed fight, darting down at the visitor's head and striking out with their talons. These birds, however, would return to their eggs when the caller remained quiet, though he might be only fifty feet away. One nest was seen to contain an old broken ax, a bootjack and straw hat. Of the variety of materials wrought into the different structures the following is a brief list: Barrel staves, barrel heads and hoops, the Now is the Time to buy diamonds and watches.

They were by far the best minstrels that ever visited the city under canvas. They have an excellent performance, especially the acrobatic features and the dancing, while the old time minstrel performance and songs delighted the audience. They carry a fine band and are a tuneful, musical, talented crowd.'—Yates Center Advocate. At Anaheim Wednesday, March 13. Evangelist C. R. Moore of River-side will begin a series of gospel meetings at the Christian church on next Lordsday morning, to continue at least two weeks. A cordial invitation is extended to all to hear these sermons. the hawks were noisy, and even showed fight, darting down at the visitor's head and striking out with their talons. These birds, however, would return to their eggs when the caller remained quiet, though he might be only fifty feet away. One nest was seen to contain an old broken ax, a bootjack and straw hat. Of the variety of materials wrought into the different structures the following is a brief list: Barrel staves, barrel heads and hoops, the tiller of a boat, a small rudder and parts of life preservers, brooms, an old plane, a feather duster, a blacking brush, part of a hay rake, a rubber boot, several pairs of shoes, pair of trousers, a long fishing line with hooks and sinkers wound on a board, bottles, tin cans, a door mat and a rag doll. In the interstices of many of the larger structures smaller birds had built their nests, well protected from the weather. The crackles were especially given to doing this, and were very bold in collecting fragments off from the fishhawks' tables. Prisoners at county jail who are incarcerated for vagrancy or other minor crimes will be forced to break stone during their terms of imprisonment, according to plans prepared by the committee appointed by the supervisors to arrange for such action. The committee is composed of Supervisors Leck and Smith and this week Smith announced that the first carload of rock had arrived and will be hauled to the city jail yard where in the stockade at the rear of the jail a gang of prisoners will be put at work and guarded by a man furnished at the expense of the county. W. J. Elliott went to Eastlake park on Friday to attend the South Dakota picnic. There were 800 people present, but owing to inability to secure the park the picnic was postponed until next Saturday.

"There was a terrible accident at our house last night," said a wag. "As I was sitting in the dining room I happened to look out, and I saw the kitchen sink." HANDICAPPED This is the Case With Many Anaheim People Too many Anaheim citizens are handicapped with bad backs. The unceasing pain causes constant misery, making work a burden and stooping or lifting an impossibility. The back aches at night, preventing refreshing rest and in the morning is stiff and lame. Plasters and liniments may give relief but cannot reach the real cause. To eliminate the pains and aches you must cure the kidneys. Doan's Kidney Pills are for sick kidneys—thousands testify to their merit. Can you doubt Anaheim evidence? Mrs. John Broderick, RFD, No. 2, Anaheim, Cal., says: "I was bothered by years by kidney trouble. I had terrible pains in the small of my back which often changed to a constant dull ache through my kid- One or Five Gallon Cans, 75 Cts per Gallon. M. W. Martenet Phones, Main 135 R Home 1401 DR.
