DEATH OF W. F. BOTSFORD Formerly President of the Anaheim Union Water Company William F. Botsford, for many years identified with financial affairs of Los Angeles, died Wednesday afternoon, after several weeks illness with gastric trouble, aged 60 years. For a year or two he had suffered with heart disease and for that reason retired from active business. He was an enthusiastic duck hunter and during the past winter, though a sick man, shot the limit. Mr. Botsford, who was a lovable man, and had a multitude of friends, came twenty-three years ago from Port Huron, Mich., where he was owner of a line of lake steamers, and invested in a large orange orchard at Placentia. He gradually sold off his steamers in Michigan and centered all his activities here, and he died possessed of a great deal of real estate and other property. Some years ago he became the prime mover in the organization of the American National Bank and was its president until he resigned two years ago. He was also the financial head and president of the Vallejo and Napa railway until less than a year ago. He was one of the most stirring men in promoting business enterprises in Los Angeles, and respected by all. About sixteen years ago he purchased the magnificent Shatto mansion at Lucas avenue, Orange and Shatto streets; Los Angeles, where he died. He leaves a widow, six daughters and three sons. Mr. Botsford was a number of years ago president of the Anaheim Union Water company, and was one of the largest stockholders in that company. He was a man of large wealth, and did much for the upbuilding of this section. His death is sincerely mourned by many old-time friends in Orange county.

Carpenter lives at Santa Ana. He was employed as an operator at the gas works there. One morning when he started to work there was a burst of flame that came from the fact that a door that should have been closed was open. The responsibility for leaving this door open will be one of the points of contention in the trial. Carpenter is said to have alleged that another employee left it open. The other employee denied this assertion, and the company has taken the position that it was Carpenter's business to see that his machinery was in proper order before he attempted to clean out a portion of it, which he had started to do when he was burned. Carpenter had his face and one arm badly burned. The arm has never recovered from the injury. Members of a lodge of which he was a member allowed points of skin to be cut from their arms to be grafted on to the arm of the injured man.

Walter has not been in Anaheim in 26 years, and admits he is ashamed of having stayed away so long. He and his brother Emil are in the contracting business in San Francisco. Previous to the fire which destroyed the city six years ago they were engaged in manufacturing store fronts, and had $30,000 of completed orders on hand for delivery the next day. This was entirely destroyed, along with their factory, and large amount of stock on hand. Walter took his mother over to San Rafael the next day, while the city was in flames. On his way back he encountered a friend who had been burned out. "Can you put up a building for me?" he asked. "Certainly I can," replied Walter. "Have you any lumber?" "I can get it if any one can." "How about your workmen?" "They will be on hand." Walter waited upon a lumber dealer with whom he had had business relations for many years. "I don't know how we stand," he said, "only that we are broke flat as a pancake. Will you extend us credit on a consignment of lumber?" The lumber baron said he would. In a week the Dreyfus brothers owed him $10,000. They made good, are now on easy street, and are the busiest firm of contractors in San Francisco. W.L.KNOWLTON DEAD Well-Known Farmer Passes Away After LONG Illness W.L. Knowlton, one of the best-known farmers of the southwest section, died at his home on Saturday shortly before noon. He succumbed to an attack of Bright's disease from which he had long been a sufferer. Recently he was compelled to cease his activities, and although everything was done that medical skill could devise to save him he passed away. He leaves a wife and little daughter, also a brother living at Redondo and a sister. Funeral services were held on Tuesday afternoon from the Christian church.

PETERMANN CASH GROCERY ANAHEIM GAZETTE TULARE HAS ITS TROUBLES Dissatisfied With Location of Highway by State Commission Visalia, May 29.—Universal dissatisfaction is expressed here with the announced intention of the state highway commission to route the state road through Tulare county on bee line south of Fresno, parallel to the Southern Pacific railroad, with the result that the road will strike neither Hanford nor Visalia, and will traverse the only poor land in the county. This routing was taken despite the expenditure of hundreds of dollars in the collection and presentation to the committee of statistics. The routing is contrary to the expressed wish of 90 per cent of the people of the east side, and where located it will mean that while the road will serve not more than a score of families in the county, the interest charges on the bonds and maintenance of the road must be paid just the same. There has been serious talk of taking the question into court and asking for an injunction to prevent the commission from locating the road along the route stated. Competent attorneys have stated that there is a grave doubt if the highway commission can compel the county taxpayers to pay for something they don't want and a road located here will do the residents no earthly good.

PENDLETON GETS DESERVED COMPLIMENT Supt. Whallen Decrares He is Right Man in Right Place Superintendent Whalen of the Southern Pacific Company paid a deserved compliment to Charley Pendleton, local agent of the company, in an address delivered at Olinda on Thursday last during the Booster whirl. Mr. Whalen proved himself to be a gentleman of charming personality and a forceful speaker. He had a word to say about friendly co-operation, not only between communities, but among the people and the transportation companies. "Judging by the earnestness of the members of this party, I judge you are very much in earnest in cooperating with your surrounding town. I believe in co-operation also, and when some time ago you sent a delegation to me asking appointment of a former resident of your city to be our agent 'n Anaheim, I gave you a hearing, and I acted upon your advice. I believe you have had no occasion to regret my action—certainly the company has none, for he has doubled our freight business since we placed him in charge of our office." A generous round of applause greeted this allusion to our capable young fellow-townsman. Charley wears the same sized hat, and some people say he is going to shine in the railroad world. HURT BY ELECTRIC CAR Ernest E. Wood Loses Part of Left Foot GOLDEN RULE DEGREE Riverside Odd Fellows Guests of Local Lodge One hundred and fifty Odd Fellows arrived on Saturday evening from Riverside to be guests of local brethren in this city. From Santa Ana, Westminster, Fullerton, Orange, and other sections of Orange county as many more were present, and the occasion was one memorable in the annals of the three links here. At 9 o'clock the guests sat down to an elaborate banquet. Later on in the evening the Riverside team conferred the Golden Rule degree upon a class of nine candidates. The visit was in return for the visit paid Riverside a year ago by local Odd Fellows, and the evening was most enjoyable throughout. The session continued until after midnight, when the Riversiders returned home on a special train.

SMALL FIRE LOOKED BAD Fire Department Called Out on Sunday Afternoon An alarm of fire shortly after 4 o'clock on Sunday afternoon for a blaze in rear of the Sultatorium called out the fire department on the double WENT TO SCHOOL HERE Visits Anaheim After 39 Years, Sees Many Changes George Ramage of Alameda county was in town on Monday, coming down from Los Angeles to see what changes had been wrought by the hand of time since he used to go to school here 39 years ago. Mr. Ramage is a leading stock raiser of the northern citrus belt, and brought a consignment of several cars of blooded horses and cattle to the southern metropolis. He hunted up a number of old-timers who recognized him and did what they could to make his stay pleasant. Many of his former schoolmates had moved away, and some had passed to the reward. “This is my first visit to Anaheim in 39 years,” he said. “I have often threatened to come here and look up old friends, but it is not until today that I have that pleasure. I see many changes, and would hardly know the country.” Mr. Ramage hunted up John Hartung at the First National Bank, who attended school with him, and a pleasant time was spent in recounting old experiences. He carries a scar made in his wrist which was made by a schoolmate who threw a piece of glass at him while at school here. “What ever become of that fellow?” he asked. “Gone to his reward in heaven,” he was told. “Well, I never had any grudge against him anyhow.” ANSWERS THE CALL Anaheim People Have Found That This Is True A cold, a strain, a sudden wrench. A little cause may hurt the kidneys. Spells of backache often follow. Or some irregularity of the urine. A splendid remedy for such attacks. A medicine that has cured thousands.

Center St., Anaheim, Cal., says: “My knowledge of Doan’s Kidney Pills dates back to several years ago, while living in St. Paul, Minn. They were used at that time by a member of our freight business since we placed him in charge of our office.” A generous round of applause greeted this allusion to our capable young fellow-townsman. Charley wears the same sized hat, and some people say he is going to shine in the railroad world. HURT BY ELECTRIC CAR Ernest E. Wood Loses Part of Left Foot as Result of Accident Ernest E. Wood of Santa Ana, was the victim of a serious accident at Huntington Beach on Sunday evening by which he lost a portion of his left foot when in falling under the car, that member was caught and crushed by a car wheel. According to the story told of the accident, Wood and others were waiting at Huntington Beach for the Santa Ana car, and when it arrived and he was attempting to get aboard, he was crowded off the car step and partly under the wheels, one of which crushed his left foot completely severing the toes, and leaving them in the shoe. Wood, however, held fast to the rail and climbed aboard and was taken to Santa Ana; where he was given proper attention and his wound cared for, and is now reported doing as well as might be expected under the circumstances, as it was found necessary to amputate the foot at the instep. SURPRISE IN STORE FOR TEDDY ROOSEVELT Congressman Smith Says Taft Will be Renominated Congressman Sylvester C. Smith of Bakersfield, who, despite a serious illness, has been in attendance at the present term of congress since January, has returned to Los Angeles, accompanied by members of his family and a special nurse. He is afflicted with heart trouble. Mr. Smith bravely withstood the trying ordeal of the long journey from Washington, and is now resting at his residence, 313 Hill Crest Road, Hollywood. His condition is gradually improving, and physicians say that his ultimate recovery is virtually assured. During the session of congress it was often necessary for Representatives to alarm of fire shortly after 4 o’clock on Sunday afternoon for a blaze in rear of the Suitatorium called out the fire department on the double quick. The fire started in an outbuilding, and communicated with a can of gasoline, which exploded. A quantity of gasoline nearby was in imminent danger of ignition, but prompt work on the part of the firemen prevented further spread of the flames. Two lines of hose were immediately connected, one at the corner of Los Angeles and Center streets, the other at Center and Chartres. The hose was led into the alley and the streams played upon the blaze, which speedily under control. It was discovered that the new hose had been cut in half a dozen places, one section having three slits cut into it. This will necessitate the purchase of new hose. No clew is had of the miscreant. The fire for a time assumed a threatening aspect, being in the very heart of the city. The flames were subdued in short order. The loss is nominal. CARD OF THANKS I desire to express my heartfelt thanks to all friends who so kindly extended their sympathy during the illness and death of my beloved wife, and also for floral offerings.

Center St., Anaheim, Cal., says: "My knowledge of Doan's Kidney Pills dates back to several years ago, while living in St. Paul, Minn.

Whenever we feel backache coming on, we immediately procure Doan's Kidney Pills at Mullinix's drugstore and a few doses bring prompt relief.

His condition is gradually improving, and physicians say that his ultimate recovery is virtually assured. During the session of congress it was often necessary for Representative Smith to be accompanied by a doctor and nurse while attending the meetings of the house. It was only when the measures of vital importance were brought up that his physicians allowed him to leave his apartments. Congressman Smith said that at the expiration of his term, Mar. 4, 1913, he would withdraw from politics. "The sentiment in Washington," he said, "is wholly for Taft, who, in my estimation, is by far a stronger man politically than Roosevelt. In the event of the latter's nomination, I firmly believe that the vote of the conservative republicans will be generally cast for the democratic nominee. Roosevelt appears to be much stronger with the people than Taft, but just wait until the convention and there will be a big surprise in store for 'the Colonel.'"

Funeral obsequies were held at the residence on West Center street at 2 o'clock. Rev. Zahl of the Evangelical church conducted the services, and a large concourse of friends of deceased gathered to pay their last tribute of respect to the departed. The casket lay enshrouded with beautiful floral tributes, and many eyes were moist at thought of parting with one whom all had know for so many years. The Concordia sang a hymn for the dead. A long line of mourners followed the remains to their last resting place. RAISING FLAX Modern Inventions Promise to Make Alberta a Bonanza Flax Growing Section The Canadian Board of Control of the International Dry-Farming Congress in its Diversified Farming campaign announces that the growing of flax for its fibre should be taken up in Southern Alberta, and points out that it can be made a veritable bonanza with the establishment of linen mills, which must come in this section because of the requirements of CITY PRINTING ORDINANCE NO. 243 An Ordinance Amending Section 4 of Ordinance No. 161, of the City of Anaheim, Entitled, "An Ordinance Fixing the Compensation of Certain Officers of the City of Anaheim," Passed and Adopted by the Board of Trustees of the City of Anaheim, on the 29th Day of March, 1904. Modern Inventions Promise to Make Alberta a Bonanza Flax Growing Section The Canadian Board of Control of the International Dry-Farming Congress in its Diversified Farming campaign announces that the growing of flax for its fibre should be taken up in Southern Alberta, and points out that it can be made a veritable bonanza with the establishment of linen mills, which must come in this section because of the requirements of the home markets. There being abundant water power in the province for mechanical motor exigencies, sufficient coal for a cheap engine fuel, and suitable water for retting in the conversion of flax fibre into fabrications of linen, there is everything required as a natural raw material right at hand. Thus, right here in Alberta, all kinds of linen goods can be produced to sell within a fraction if not at just as low a price as cotton goods—a great boon to all farmers. The growing of flax for seed has been very successful, and many of the progressive dry-farmers of Lethbridge and vicinity have this season begun the putting in of a large crop. It is not too late yet, for flax can be sown up to the 15th of June, although the earlier the safer. For many centuries 16 weeks have been consumed in getting flax ready for spinning, and a further four or five weeks have been necessary in which to bleach the linen product for the market. By a new process raw flax can now be converted into perfectly bleached linen fibre ready for spinning in one day. Sound straw will yield 47 per cent of spinning fibre, realizing $500 per ton on the market. By harvesting at the proper time good fibre can be produced, and a fair crop of seed can be obtained at the same time—the mechanical operation of removing the seed without, as hitherto, injuring the fibre for linen production being practiced in the United States. The new process for converting flax straw into linen within the short space of a day, has passed beyond the experimental stage, and capital invested in this direction would be a far better method, because of the certainty of returns, than in gold or other mines where milling requires millions, and then the outcome from a financial standpoint is always or nearly so, an indefinite quantity, and the duration of the lode a mighty uncertainty.
