ANAHEIM HIGHSCHOOL FORMALLY DEDICATED MUSIC AND ORATORY AT EXERCISES LAST WEDNESDAY NIGHT Dr. James A. Blaisdell, of Pomona College, Delivered Dedicatory Address and Gave the Students some Excellent Pointers—Prof. Walker, F. C. Spencer, Walter Spaeth, Architect Austin and R. P. Mitchell Also Orate—High School Glee Club Contributes to Entertainment Appropriate, entertaining and instructive were the ceremonies at the dedication of the Anaheim Union High School last Wednesday night. Dr. James H. Blaisdell, president of Pomona College, delivered the dedicatory address, and his heart to heart talk and words of wisdom will bear fruit in the minds of the score of students present. The exercises opened with a musical selection by the high school orchestra. Rev. F. A. Ziegler offered the dedicatory prayer, which was followed by more music. The Girls' Glee Club of the high school is composed of twenty young ladies, directed by Mrs. Bartlett, and their rendering of "The Quaker and the Highwayman" was so well appreciated that they received an en-rate buildings, but in Anaheim, where the pupils had been perfectly trained, the discipline was perfect. The professor paid high tribute to the members of the faculty who had worked with him. The manual training and domestic science departments which had been added recently and had become such popular branches, were the work of Profs. R. I. Turner and L. O. Culp. The splendid buildings had been erected in remarkably short period as less than a year ago the first advertisement calling a bond election appeared in The Gazette. Some inconvenience had been experienced in dodging carpenters, painters and other workmen this winter, but they had interfered little with the course of the school and had all given way whenever necessary. "Congratulations from the County" was the theme of County Superintendent R. P. Mitchell's address. "You have a school," he said, "that all Orange county is proud of. It was thought by some that the group system of school buildings was objectionable because of the difficulty in maintaining discipline, but your teachers assure me such is not the case in Anaheim. On behalf of the seven high school districts of Orange county I extend cordial congratulations." Another selection by the Girls glee club wound up the evening's entertainment. The big auditorium was crowded, both pit and gallery, by interested MASONS PUBLIC ROYER'S Twelve Thousand Property Soon to $25,000 Edifice—bably Be 100x120 on Ground Floor Be Used for Lodge Company A notable transfer consummated this Masonic lodge purge J.

I ago the Masonic lodge for the first time tion of a larger amus hall Committee The exercises opened with a musical selection by the high school orchestra. Rev. F. A. Ziegler offered the dedicatory prayer, which was followed by more music. The Girls' Glee Club of the high school is composed of twenty young ladies, directed by Mrs. Bartlett, and their rendering of "The Quaker and the Highwayman" was so well appreciated that they received an encore. Dr. Blaisdell was introduced by President Otto Storm of the school board. "I can never go into a place," said the Doctor, "where people are enthusiastic without showing enthusiasm myself. It is a grand thing to see people making festival on an occasion like this. Sixty years ago there was not a high school building in the United States that could compare with this structure you have erected here." You can trace the whole history of man, he said, by the buildings he erected. In primitive ages man roamed the woods a savage, and slept in trees. Later he began putting a few sticks together and called it a home. Then men began to get together and build in community interest, and the result is the present day school house. He paid a high compliment to the board for the erection of such a splendid group of buildings and said there was not a high school in the State superior to it for beauty and convenience. The "Girls' Quartette," composed of Misses Helena Goodale, Leola McClellan, Freda Maas and Grace Adams, sang "Thou Art Like Unto a Flower," and "Sparrows and Spinner" after being called back. John C. Austin, architect of the buildings, made a brief speech in delivering the keys to F. C. Spencer, clerk of the board, and stated that the builders had merely followed out the lines laid down by the board. He thanked the board for the uniform courtesy extended throughout the entire job. F. C. Spencer, clerk of the board, in accepting the keys gave a short history of the building of the high school. He said the struggle for the new school had been a long one but success was due to two reasons — first necessity, and second the generosity of the voters of Anaheim. The people of Anaheim, he said, were determined that we should have a thought by some that the group system of school buildings was objectionable because of the difficulty in maintaining discipline, but your teachers assure me such is not the case in Anaheim. On behalf of the seven high school districts of Orange county I extend cordial congratulations." Another selection by the Girls glee club wound up the evening's entertainment. The big auditorium was crowded, both pit and gallery, by interested listeners. It was the first time this room had been used. NO FEAR OF INVASION Orientalists Could Not Land Troops on Pacific Coast Barker Van Zandt of Los Angeles representing a wholesale paper house of that city, was in town this week, and between taking orders and talking business he spoke of the Magdalena bay bogie and the ever-recurring scare, to timid people, of an invasion of orientals. Mr. Van Zandt was a member of the volunteer army which fought the Spaniards at San Juan hill, and knows whereof he speaks. He is a New Yorker. One day while walking down Broadway he learned that Uncle Sam was calling for troops to go to Cuba. He dropped his business engagements, enlisted forthwith, went to Tampa and was in the first transport carrying men to Santiago in Shafter's army. He fought at El Caney and San Juan hill. "The yellow newspapers ought to be suppressed," he said. "They are too scarey by half. No oriental power can land troops on the Pacific coast, and this talk about a power in the fair east landing 200,000 soldiers on our shores makes me smile. That would be a herculean task, even if the United States had not the best navy afloat. When this government transported 7000 troops from Tampa to Santiago, a distance of 500 miles, our transports did not make more than five miles an hour, until we neared our destination. Some of the transports did not make more than three miles an hour at the start. We had scout ships and destroyers going ahead in all directions, looking for the enemy. They darted here and there, returning to signal that no Spaniard was in sight. A regiment of soldiers aboard ship, you know, is the most defenseless thing on earth or on the water. Every orange county is proud of it." It was thought by some that the group system of school buildings was objectionable because of the difficulty in maintaining discipline, but your teachers assure me such is not the case in Anaheim. On behalf of the seven high school districts of Orange county I extend cordial congratulations." Another selection by the Girls glee club wound up the evening's entertainment.

Spencer, clerk of the board, in accepting the keys gave a short history of the building of the high school. He said the struggle for the new school had been a long one but success was due to two reasons — first necessity, and second the generosity of the voters of Anaheim. The people of Anaheim, he said, were determined that we should have a school surpassed by none, and we have got it. Word pictures are unnecessary. The buildings speak for themselves. The buildings cost $115,000, and the ten acres of ground on which they are erected $20,000, making the total $135,000. The old high school building was sold for $25,000 and the two bond issues aggregated $105,000. Walter Spaeth, representing the student body, made a short but pertinent address: "Tonight," said he, "marks the triumphant culmination of two years of hard labor. Our work has been carried on under considerable difficulties, but we are proud of our institution, proud of our principal, proud of our faculty, and proud of our board. Every pupil in the school endorses this." Prof. J. F. Walker spoke on the subject, "Appreciation from the Faculty." He said there was not a better sample of classic architecture in California than the Anaheim high school. It was designed by Otto Storm, president of the board, and the architects accepted and carried out his plans. Some educators claimed it was difficult to maintain discipline in a school conducted in sepa- EBELL ELECTS OFFICERS The Ebell Society Elected the following officers on Saturday afternoon to serve hte ensuing year: Mrs. Ida Tipton president, Mrs. Ida Dutton first vice-president, Mrs: Geo.

AHEIM GAZET ANAHEIM, CALIFORNIA, THURSDAY, MAY 9, 1912 MASONS PURCHASE ROYER’S CITY LOTS MAGNIFICENT THREE-STORY TEMPLE IN CONTEMPLATION Twelve Thousand Dollars Paid for Property Soon to Be Graced by a $25,000 Edifice—Building Will Probably Be 100x120—Business Stores on Ground Floor, Upper Floor to Be Used for Lodge Purposes—Stock Company A notable transfer of realty was consummated this week, when the Masonic lodge purchased from Gen. J. O. Royer his property at the corner of Center and Emily streets at a consideration of $12,000. The property extends 140 feet on Center by 120 on Emily street. The purchase is made for the purpose of erecting thereon a magnificent Masonic temple, which will probably be three stories in height, at a cost approximating $25,000. Such headway have committees in charge of the work made during the past that negotiations were closed before the general public was aware that the deal was in contemplation. Less than a month ago the Masonic lodge brought up for the first time the need for erection of a larger and more commodious hall. Committees were named tion of the Anaheim Masonic Temple Association. Capital stock was placed at $50,000. Six per cent bonds will be issued, and stock sold to local residents. Three trustees were elected, comprising J. B. Rea chairman, Joseph Helmsen and William Falkenstein. These gentlemen will have charge of the erection of the building. It was resolved to build not less than 90 feet frontage on Center St., with four stores upon the ground floor. A wide stairway will lead to the upper floors from the main entrance on this street. Depth of the building will be 120 feet. Work upon the same will begin in the immediate future. The Young Men’s Christian Association is considering joining with the association, with a view to occupying the basement, where offices, the gymnasium and natatorium will be established. The Y.M.C.A. recently decided to erect a building on South Philadelphia street, but members have expressed a preference to joining with Masons with a view to occupying the new temple. The association has 138 active members, and 109 contributing members. ORANGE GROWERS SUE Seek to Recover Money for Fruit Sold Bankrupt Some thirty-two orange growers of Orange, McPherson, El Modena and thereon a magnificent Masonic temple, which will probably be three stories in height, at a cost approximating $25,000. Such headway have committees in charge of the work made during the past that negotiations were closed before the general public was aware that the deal was in contemplation. Less than a month ago the Masonic lodge brought up for the first time the need for erection of a larger and more commodious hall. Committees were named, one on subscription and another on site and building, and with such speed were their movements marked that at a subsequent meeting announcement was made that several thousand dollars had been subscribed and options taken upon several building sites. Last week it was announced that $5000 had been subscribed, and that double that amount was actually in sight. To cap the climax of negotiations, announcement on Monday that papers had been signed consummating the sale. It is the purpose of the Masonic lodge to proceed immediately to the organization of a joint stock company, which will not be limited to members of the order, but citizens generally will be asked to subscribe for stock in a home enterprise which is absolutely on the square, and makes for the upbuilding of the city. The purpose is to erect either a two or three-story building, preferably the latter, of dimensions of 100x120 feet. Should a three-story building be erected, the middle floor will be given over to offices, while the upper floor will be used by the lodge. A large banquet hall and cuisine will be features of this floor. The ground floor will be used for business houses. Plans for the building have not yet been completed, but these may be looked for in the near future, judging by the celerity with which committees have progressed in their work since beginning the task... Members of the subscription committee who have made a record in these negotiations are B. Hartfield, Earl Abbey and Charles A. Eygabroad. Papers were signed at the office of Attorney Melrose, acting for Gen. Royer. The committee on building and plans is composed of Wm. Falkenstein, Tom L. Hoag and Joseph Helmsen. Erection of the Masonic temple will mark an important step forward in the building progress of the city. Philadelphia street, but members have expressed a preference to joining with Masons with a view to occupying the new temple. The association has 138 active members, and 109 contributing members. ORANGE GROWERS SUE Seek to Recover Money for Fruit Sold Bankrupt Some thirty-two orange growers of Orange, McPherson, El Modena and Villa Park began suit in the superior court on Monday making a fight for full payment for oranges delivered by them to E. G. Gilman, now a bankrupt. When Gilman became a bankrupt these growers, with a total of $8778.01 not paid them for oranges, were listed among the creditors. Attorneys for the growers quickly denied that they were creditors of Gilman, declaring that Gilman was acting for and with the Edmund-Peycke Co. of Los Angeles. While Gilman is named as a defendant, the Los Angeles concern is the real defendant. Judge West began the hearing of the case Monday morning without a jury. Gilman was the first witness. His attorneys introduced a contract between Gilman and Edmund-Peycke Co. in which the two agreed to share the profits of doing business together. M. P. Westcott, as plaintiff in the action against E. L. Gilman of Orange and Edmund-Peycke Co. of Los Angeles, represents a large number of growers who sold their oranges to Gilman, and who declare that Gilman acted as agent for the Los Angeles concern. Gilman as a bankrupt would give the growers but a pro-rata in the settlement, while if the company is held the growers would get the amount due. FINAL HEARING Testimony Brought Out Against Free Importations of Raw Sugar The last plea against the passage of the House free sugar bill before the Senate finance committee was made last week, when that body closed its hearings upon the bill with the testimony of Truman G. Palmer, secretary of the United States beet sugar industry. Mr. Palmer confined his testimony almost entirely to the economic conditions produced by the cultivation of sugar beets and showed by government statistics that German farmers annually produced cereal crops to the value of $900,000,000 in excess of the call on Mrs. A. A. Huelster on So. Los Angeles street. Arriving there they were of course invited in. When the door was opened for them to enter the strains of a wedding march were heard, and they found the house filled with friends who had met to join them in celebrating the event and to wish them many happy returns. At first they did not grasp the situation but it gradually dawned on them that it was a "put up job" and they joined in the pleasures of the evening after which all partook of refreshments and the "bride" and "groom" were presented with a beautiful cut-glass dish as a remembrance. The affair as carried out proved to be a surprise without a flaw, as neither Mr. or Mrs. Hedges had any intimation whatever as to what was doing. A general good time was had by all present. JOINS OIL BARONS A. Z. Megede Starts Well on Tuffree Ranch Work on spudding in well No. 1 of the Walker-Klauser oil company will begin this week on Section 19 in the Tuffree ranch, 1800 feet from the big producer of the Amalgamated. This new company was organized by A. Z. Megede of this city, who holds large financial interest in it and is also one of its directors. Mr. Megede some weeks ago secured a lease on 80 acres of the Tuffree ranch, and holds an option on 111 1-4 acres adjoining. A rig has been installed, derrick erected, and work of drilling will begin immediately. The president of the company is George W. Walker of Los Angeles, and the general manager is H. R. Klauser of the same city. Both are bankers and men of large capital. The company has organized with a capital stock of one million shares at $1 par value per share. The ground joins that of the Amalgamated company, and is in proven territory. A depth of 3000 feet will be made and expectations are that oil will be struck at that depth. Mr. Megede is anxious to enlist local capital in the enterprise, and those interested will do well to call upon him at Hartfield's jewelry store. NEW OFFICERS ELECTED Loan and Building Association Chooses New Directors mittee who have made a record in these negotiations are B. Hartfield, Earl Abbey and Charles A. Eygabroad. Papers were signed at the office of Attorney Melrose, acting for Gen. Royer. The committee on building and plans is composed of Wm. Falkenstein, Tom L. Hoag and Joseph Helmsen. Erection of the Masonic temple will mark an important step forward in the building progress of the city. It will be a conspicuous adornment to East Center street, and will no doubt attract other property owners in the vicinity to follow the example of the Masonic fraternity. Gen. Royer's generosity was never more accentuated than in the negotiations leading to the transfer of his property, for it is known that he had recently an offer of $14,000 for the property. His good-will to the city and the Masonic lodge amounts practically to a donation of $2000 to the building fund. Real estate men declare the property is worth $15,000. Contractor Lagman, who was interested in bringing the deal about, is preparing plans for a three-story edifice, of glazed cream brick and plate-glass, in the Corinthian style of architecture. He says the temple will be one of the finest edifices in Southern California. TEMPLE ASSOCIATION Capital Stock $50,000—Three Trustees Elected At a business meeting of the Masonic lodge on Monday evening another step forward was taken in the erection of the temple by organiza- the Senate finance committee was made last week, when that body closed its hearings upon the bill with the testimony of Truman G. Palmer, secretary of the United States beet sugar industry. Mr. Palmer confined his testimony almost entirely to the economic conditions produced by the cultivation of sugar beets and showed by government statistics that German farmers annually produced cereal crops to the value of $900,000,000 in excess of the same crops produced by American farmers from the same acreage that Germany cultivates, because of the enrichment of the soil by a crop of sugar beets.

STOCK GIVEN 10 YEARS Check Kiter, Proven Same, Sent to San Quentin Percy R. Stock's sanity was tested Monday morning, and when Drs. Ball and Clark declared that he was sane Judge West pronounced judgment upon Stock, who was convicted last week on a charge of passing a no-fund check on the First National Bank of this city. He was sentenced to ten years in San Quentin. The showing of insanity was weak. If anything, it brought out something of Stock's criminal record. When the commission had reported that Stock was sane Attorney Harding, for Stock, objected to receiving the report. Judge West expressed surprise because the commission was asked for by the defense the judge and prosecution at no time having the slightest doubt but what Stock was sane. Harding said the trial of insanity should have been by jury. Before sentencing Stock, Judge West received from the district attorney documents showing that Stock was convicted at Walla Walla, Wash. of passing a no-fund check, and was given parole from the state penitentiary vote, but that many is entitled to the privilege if they wish to exercise it. The number that can vote indicates the number of republicans and democrats in the county and the difference between the total registration and the number which can vote represents prohibitionists, socialists and those who declined to give their party affiliation. The names on the last great register totaled about 8100, and the increase of 6000 it is estimated that about 75 per cent are women. Sample ballots have been sent out to the 10,615 registered republicans and democrats. It is estimated that the republicans outnumber the democrats a little over two to one, 7615 being credited to the former and 3000 to the latter. The registration for Santa Ana is 4273, Orange 1456, Anaheim 1377 (not including West and East Anaheim), Fullerton an even 1000, and Tustin 359.

It is proposed to show every step from the breaking of the ground and the planting of the sugar beet to the time of sacking the pure white product of he factory. Pictures will be taken showing the Santa Ana co-operative sugar company plant in the course of construction. The sugar beet industry has come to be one of the greatest industries of this county. Dick Dugdale has moved the express office from Dickel's store, where it has been located since the establishment of this city, to 120 West Center street.
