ANOTHER PLANT IN SIGHT FOR ANAHEIM BOARD OF TRADE GETS BUSY ON A NEW FACTORY PROPOSITION PACIFIC TELEPHONE COMPANY AGAIN HANDED SEVERAL BOUQUETS Another factory, employing three hundred people and distributing annually $125,000 in wages, is looming on the horizon. J. H. Clabaugh reported to the Board of Trade Monday night that the commercial agent of the Santa Fe railroad had put him in touch with a manufacturing plant which is looking for a new location and he thought Anaheim would be a suitable one. The company asks five acres of ground for factory site and $12,000 or $15,000 in cash for the erection of buildings. The nature of ta Ana rug factory was considering a site on the Mills tract, north of town. B. V. Beebe, chairman of the transportation committee, announced appointment of J. H. Clabaugh and C. H. Pendleton as the other members. Large Congregation Hears Eloquent Address from Prelate Right Reverend Thomas J. Conaty, bishop of the diocese of Monterey and Los Angeles, preached to a congregation which filled St. Boniface Church to the doors on Sunday morning last. The bishop administered the sacrament of confirmation upon a large class at 10:30 o'clock. During his stay in town he was a guest of Rev. Father Dubbel. The bishop went to Santa Ana in the afternoon, where he confirmed a large class at St. Joseph's church, and later preached to the largest congregation which ever filled that sacred edifice. Bishop Conaty has lost none of his eloquence or forcefulness since his last visit here, and his address took rank along with others delivered here in the past. He still retains his commanding position as the most finished and eloquent orator on the coast. WELCOME THE "GRAD" hundred people and distributing annually $125,000 in wages, is looming on the horizon. J. H. Clabaugh reported to the Board of Trade Monday night that the commercial agent of the Santa Fe railroad had put him in touch with a manufacturing plant which is looking for a new location and he thought Anaheim would be a suitable one. The company asks five acres of ground for factory site and $12,000 or $15,000 in cash for the erection of buildings. The nature of ware manufactured was not mentioned but he stated that the factory would employ regularly three hundred people and its pay roll would aggregate $125,000 annually. The manufacturing committee, of which L. N. Gibbs is chairman, was instructed to get busy and visit the railway official at Los Angeles and communicate with the factory management. Mr. Clabaugh offered to pilot the party, which offer was thankfully accepted. H. M. Adams announced that Riverside, Los Angeles and other neighboring counties were preparing to send a display of fruits of the southland to Portland for the entertainment of the Elks who will hold their annual convention in that city in July and Anaheim had been asked to send a supply of walnuts. President Quarton and Secretary Ahlborn agreed to purchase a hundred pounds of choice nuts, stamp each individual nut with the word "Anaheim," and deliver them to Mr. Adams, who is a delegate to the convention from the local lodge of Elks. The scurrilous abuse of Anaheim recently appearing in a provincial New York paper purporting to come from the mouth of a former sugar factory operator here, stirred up the wrath of some members of the board, and they demand satisfaction. Some were inclined to treat it as a joke unworthy of notice, but others thought differently. "He has referred to the women of Anaheim," said Judge Howard, "in terms such as no gentleman would use and no gentleman would repeat from the mouth of another. It matters not whether this William Multer is only a myth, the statement has been published and the publisher should be forced to retract." On motion of Howard the secretary was instructed to write to the editor of the paper, explain the falsities and absurdities of the article and request him to set himself right with the people of Anaheim. The unsatisfactory long distance telephone service over the Pacific synergy was unable to deliver his letters and his wife went out and coveted which ever tried that sacred edifice. Bishop Conaty has lost none of his eloquence or forcefulness since his last visit here, and his address took rank along with others delivered here in the past. He still retains his commanding position as the most finished and eloquent orator on the coast. WELCOME THE "GRAD" Sweet Collegians Promise Domestic Revolution "There's something new under the sun, after all," remarked the troubled tourist. "Here's a woman college graduate who says the college woman can devise new methods of washing the dishes. "If that's the case then she's got the helpful husband beaten a mile, for up to the time of this new discovery he has had the record for all new methods of dish-washing by the simple expedient of turning the hose on them. It was a quick and fairly efficacious way of disposing of a whole tubful of dishes at one fell swoop and bade fair to revolutionize housekeeping methods. It was invented, I think, by a man whose wife left him to tend to the flat while she took a two weeks vacation. Now however if the college woman is out inventing new dish washing methods, mere man will have to sidestep. His occupation's gone. I don't know what these new dish washing methods may be, but my advice to bachelors is to put in their applications at once to all senior classes in women's colleges and try to get a wife and a new dish-washing method at one and the same time. As a dish juggler the sweet girl graduate ought to lead the world. "It seems to me that the college woman of today is going in the domestic field. It looks like a soft thing for her husband. He won't have to settle a single dispute. All he'll settle will be the bills. The high cost of living needn't worry him in the least. Let his college wife settle that. All he'll have to do is worry if he is laid up and can't attend to his job. She'll go down to the office and settle the business for him. She'll probably settle the blonde stenographer first, and attend to the details later." I see that up in York state a mail carrier was unable to deliver his letters and his wife went out and coveted which ever tried that sacred edifice. Henry E. W was married Edgar, daught George A.

On motion of Howard the secretary was instructed to write to the editor of the paper, explain the falsities and absurdities of the article and request him to set himself right with the people of Anaheim. The unsatisfactory long distance telephone service over the Pacific system by reason of Fullerton being a connecting link between Anaheim and the outside world was again discussed, and some of the discussers grew very wroth. The subject was introduced by J. W. Duckworth, who said he was requested by several business men to request the board to take action in the matter and do something that would force the telephone company to sit up and take notice. Earl Abbey, manager of the Anaheim branch explained that owing to having over 600 subscribers with a board capacity of 580 the facilities for prompt work were not the best, but the company was preparing to put in a new switchboard and thus relieve the local situation. He said the long distance service call which had been established at Anaheim several months ago, was returned to Fullerton a month since for reasons which he was unable to explain. After several members had discharged their minds of accumulated grievances it was decided to send an ultimatum to the company in charge of a committee. President Quarton has withheld the names of the committee for the present. Secretary Ahlborn, speaking, for Chairman Gibbs, of the manufacturing committee, reported that the San- he'll settle will be the bills. The high cost of living needn't worry him in the least. Let his college wife settle that. All he'll have to do is to worry if he is laid up and can't attend to his job. She'll go down to the office and settle the business for him. She'll probably settle the blonde stenographer first, and attend to the details later. I see that up in York state a mail carrier was unable to deliver his letters and his wife went out and covered his district for him. There you have it. That's just what the new dish-washing college graduate wife is going to do—because she can settle everything. "If she has any doubt along about election time that he isn't going to vote the right way, she can promptly lock him up and go out and vote for him. If she thinks he's not up to his usual form at cards she can keep him at home and go take his place at the club Saturday night. "If there's to be any sitting up with a sick friend she can do it for him, and spare him the long visit. I painted this happy future to a cynical bachelor friend of mine and the only comment I could get him to make was 'Wake up, you're in Boston.'"—Houston Press. STANDARD STOCK GOOD NEW YORK, June 11.—Stock of the Standard Oil Company of New York sold up to $436 a share yesterday, which is a high record for the movement. The advance is due largely to rumors of an increase in capitalization from $15,000,000 to $60,000,000. The earnings for this year, it is reported, will reach close to $15,000,-000, which will be 100 per cent of the capital. ANAHEIM, CALIFORNIA, THURSDAY, JUNE 13, 1912 POPULAR YOUNG BUSINESS MAN WEDDED HENRY BARNES MARRIES MISS AMELIA EDGAR OF SANTA ANA IS MEMBER OF THE FIRM OF STROUP-BARNES FURNITURE DEALERS Henry E. W. Barnes of this city was married to Miss Amelia Bernice Edgar, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. George A. Edgar of Santa Ana, at the home of the bride's parents in that city on Thursday evening. Rev. W. H. Wotton officiated. At 8:20 the rector, in surplice and stole, took his place under the bridal arbor, and while the orchestra played Mendelssohn's Wedding March, the bridal party entered, the bride being escorted by her father who gave her FELL FROM DERRICK, KILLED Employe of Petroleum Company Almost Instantly Killed A. B. Crouder, aged 23, was killed Sunday morning in a fall from a derrick on the Petroleum company property. Crouder lived about twenty minutes after he fell. One leg was broken, and three ribs were crushed in, one rib penetrating the lung. Death was due to the shock. Crouder was engaged with other men in pulling a pipe out of a well. He was seventy-five feet up on the derrick, directing the upward trend of the pipe at the point. Other men working with him were J. W. Carter, A. W. Hannley, J. D. Berry, C. E. Phillips and J. M. Stephens. In their testimony at the inquest held by Coroner Winbigler at Fullerton, these men said that the first they knew of the accident was when they heard Crouder cry out. On looking up they saw him falling, clutching at some pipe that had stood on the platform. Crouder had been working on the well since May 9. Nothing has been learned concerning his relatives. He came from Michigan, what town the coroner was unable to learn. VARIOUS NOTES OF LOCAL INTEREST ATTORNEY SPENCER DECLARED BAXTER'S CHARGES ARE MERELY HOT AIR JOY RIDERS MAKE AN INTEREST IN CLIMB UP THE MOUNTAINS Declaring that he is to bring a suit to get possession of land in this city Malcolm Baxter, Jr., has petitioned the Superior Court for an order to perpetuate the testimony of Chester Spencer, Emma M. Hunter and Attorney F. C. Spencer, all of this city, whom Baxter alleges joined in the commission of fraud against the estate of Christina E. Romer. Baxter states in his petition that he will bring suit against C. A. and Louis Reese. Henry E. W. Barnes of this city was married to Miss Amelia Bernice Edgar, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. George A. Edgar of Santa Ana, at the home of the bride's parents in that city on Thursday evening. Rev. W. H. Wotton officiated. At 8:20 the rector, in surplice and stole, took his place under the bridal arbor, and while the orchestra played Mendelssohn's Wedding March, the bridal party entered, the bride being escorted by her father who gave her away. The best man, Marshall Pumphrey, accompanied the bride-groom. The bride was richly attired in a white, embroidered silk crepe, carrying a prayer book with a shower of orange blossoms on ribbon. The bridesmaids, Misses Gladys Beckett, Lloirta Rouse, Marguerite Nichols of Los Angeles, and Ethel Roer of Santa Ana, were gowned in pink chiffon, carrying colonial bouquets of Cicil Bruner roses and maiden hair ferns. Matron of honor, Mrs. Mary E. Horton, sister of the bride, was dressed in cream chiffon over rainbow silk. The mother of the bride looked very girlish, gowned in black and white chiffon with shadowy lace over green and gold silk. The train bearers were Dorothy Hannah and Nelson Edgar. Ushers were Robert Collins, Reynold Sanders, Robert Whitson and Robert Alexander, and they guided the procession through the aisle formed of elegant ribbons attached to the canopy, under which the couple stood, made of pink carnations, asparagus and maiden hair ferns, a bower of beauty. The spacious rooms were thrown together as one and hanging from the archways were Japanese baskets of various flowers and wreaths in basket shape. The dining-room, where covers were laid for twenty people, was beautifully arranged and showed the excellent taste of the young ladies who decorated it for their chum, "Tootsie." On the buffet and sideboard, begonias with their wax-like blooms and hardy ferns were in contrast to the fine Cecil Bruner roses and malden hair fern which were entwined with chiffon the entire length of the tables. The plate favors were tiny pink rose buds and ferns. The beautiful solo, "I Love Thee Truly, Fondly," was well rendered by Mrs. Hanna. The orchestra which discoursed Lohengrin and other numbers was composed of: Violinist, Mrs. H. C. Babize; cello, Prof. H. C. Babize; pianist, Percy K. Lusk. GEO. ROSS TAKES FAIR BRIDE George Rose and Miss Marion Johnston Wedded At the residence of Mrs. J. Johnston on South Claudina street yesterday afternoon, at 3 o'clock, occurred the marriage of her daughter, Miss Marion Johnston, to Geo. M Ross the well-known young business man of this city. The ceremony was performed by Rev. Mitchell of the Presbyterian church, and only members of the family and near friends were present. The brider and groom were unattended. The bride was the recipient of many valuable presents. After the ceremony a sumptuous wedding breakfast was served, to which all present did ample justice. Wedding gown was white satin crepe meteor, en-train, elaborately trimmed with pearls and crystal picot trimming and Chantilly lace. Clusters of chiffon roses added further ornament to this beautiful creation. The going away gown was a rich navy blue satin messaline embroidered in self colors with hat to match. The happy couple left in the groom's newly purchased auto for a tour of neighboring beach resorts. On their return they will make their home in this city. The groom is a member of one of the leading families in the city and has many friends who wish him all manner of prosperity in his wedded life. The bride is beautiful and accomplished, and a general favorite among all who know her. The many friends of the wedded couple extend felicitations upon the happy event. Declaring that he is to bring a suit to get possession of land in this city Malcolm Baxter, Jr., has petitioned the Superior Court for an order to perpetuate the testimony of Chester Spencer, Emma M. Hunter and Attorney F. C. Spencer, all of this city, whom Baxter alleges joined in the commission of fraud against the estate of Christina E. Romer. Baxter states in his petition that he will bring suit against C. A. and Louise Boege, George Vandenbergg the German American Bank, F. L. and Minnie H. Eastman and Chester Spencer, now holding title to portions of the property that was concerned in the Romer estate. In view of his intention to sue these parties Baxter's attorney, A. W. Ashburn, Jr., of Los Angeles, desires to secure the testimony of three witnesses, Chester and Attorney F. C. Spencer and Emma M. Hunter, at once, and an order for their examination is asked, along with an order that they produce all contracts and correspondence that they had with Mrs. Romer. According to the petition, Chester Spencer was administrator of the estate of Christina E. Romer, and on April 4, 1911, secured an order from the superior court to deed to Emma M. Hunter the land since sub-divided and now standing in the names of those that Baxter says he will sue. The petition asserts that this order was secured by irregularities committed by the two Spencers and Emma M. Hunter. The petition also states that it is expected to prove that the representations made to the court that secured the order of the court for the land were false in the statements that Emma M. Hunter alleged that she had a contract of purchase of the land under date of July 14, 1910, made before Mrs. Romer's death; in that she had paid Mrs. Romer $1000 on the contract; that numerous improvements had been made on the land by Emma M. Hunter, and in that $2300 was a reasonable valuation of the land. Baxter alleges that he is an heir of Christina E. Romer and has been assigned the interest of all her heirs, and as such will bring suit to get possession of property that he believes was wrongfully allowed to go from the estate. That an action might be brought has been known for some time, but with the present holders of the property in possession as entirely innocent purchasers it was not thought The second trial of Rosario Salz, charged with murdering Jose Machado two and a half years ago, is in progress in the superior court. Defendant is being defended by Weisel & Dutton, who secured a rehearing after Salz had been convicted and sentenced to be hanged. AN OUTING AT LAGUNA Picnickers Enjoy Luncheon on the Beach A delightful outing was planned and carried out by Puente friends and relatives of Mrs. Joseph Helmsen on Sunday, when six large autos with their passengers appeared at the Helmsen residence, ready for a trip to Laguna Beach to spend the day. The Helmsen family joined the procession and the party arrived at Laguna about noon, when all partook of the lunches. Thirty-two were in the party, those present being: Geo. E. Cross and family, W. E. Newton and family, H. R. Link and family, Mrs. J. W. Hudson and family, Mr. and Mrs. Rambaud, Miss Tyler, Misses Wadsworth, the Misses Groves, Miss Philebar, Dale Cross, Dean Wadsworth, E. O. McCaige and Mr. Kevis, editor of the Puente Journal. Mr. and Mrs. Robert McKee, Mrs. H. C. Cross, Mr. and Mrs. Helmsen in their auto joined the party. Everyone enjoyed the day. The drive through the beet fields and bean fields en route to Laguna is one of the most beautiful sights in Southern California. Judge Shanley wears that expansive smile as he reads of the steam roller flattening out his former Pittsburg fellow-townman Billy Flynn. Baxter alleges that he is an heir of Christina E. Romer and has been assigned the interest of all her heirs, and as such will bring suit to get possession of property that he believes was wrongfully allowed to go from the estate. That an action might be brought has been known for some time, but with the present holders of the property in possession as entirely innocent purchasers it was not thought that they would be sued. The matter has been investigated, and Attorney Spencer's friends declare that there is absolutely nothing in the contention concerning irregularities in the estate. When interviewed at his office regarding the suit, Attorney Spencer said it was nothing but hot air. "The proceedings were entirely regular," he declared, "and I court the fullest investigation. There is nothing to the suit but a lot of hot air." TRIP TO BEAR VALLEY Auto Load of Visitors See many Interesting Scenes One of the most beautiful as well as one of the most difficult mountain journeys to be made by auto was recently made by P. J. Weisel and party of five in a Flanders "20" touring car. Starting Sunday morning the road lead through Santa Ana Canyon, via Corona, Riverside, Colton and San Bernardino, where the climb begins, which however is not severe until Arrowhead is passed, when at times the grade is 27 per cent. The road surface is splendid, there being no stones to speak of, and with careful driving one can make the trip without injury to tires. This mountain road is quite an JUNE 13, 1912 NOUS NOTES OF LOCAL INTEREST BY SPENCER DECLARES HER'S CHARGES ARE ENERELY HOT AIR ERS MAKE AN INTEREST-LIMB UP THE MOUNTAINS that he is to bring a suit session of land in this city axter, Jr., has petitioned the Court for an order to the testimony of Chester Emma M.

A. and engineering feat and the view of the valley from Squirrel Inn at the top, (about 6500 feet elevation) is truly magnificent. At night the cities of San Bernardino, Redlands and Highlands are plainly outlined by thousands of electric lights, which gives the whole valley the appearance of a fairyland far below. From Squirrel Inn to Little Bear Lake is about 10 miles over good roads. Leaving Bear Lake at 1 p.m. Monday, the party arrived in Anaheim at 6 p.m. The performance of the Flanders was really wonderful. With a load of six persons and luggage the little 20 horse power car took the long steep grade without a faulter, the engine never missing a shot, though the heat was terrific. The trip was made as sort of an experiment to see what the car could really do and the results were more than satisfactory, for many larger cars have tried to make this run but have failed on the long grade. It is a trip well worth the effort for it takes one in a short time to a country, over a mile above sea-level, entirely different from the heated valleys below, and up among tall pines and mountain streams that are cold as ice. NATIONAL BANK ELECTS BOARD DIRECTORS WILL OPEN FOR BUSINESS ON JULY 1ST BANK COMMISSIONER THOMPSON APPROVES ENTERPRISE Bank Commissioner Thompson was in town this week from Los Angeles and held a conference with the newly chosen board of directors of the Anaheim National Bank, which will occupy the brick building now nearing completion on West Center St., and be ready for business about the first of July. Mr. Thompson went over the stock subscriptions and other data at hand and approved the venture. His report goes to the Comptroller of Currency at Washington, who will issue the necessary papers to COLOR OF THE ROSE Amalgamated Shows It Is Making Fair Division. Manager Wootan and Field Manager Kamerer of the Amalgamated oil company were in town on Saturday in conference with Director Hale and Secretary Wallop of the water board, relating to a promised suit by the water company against the oil company because of unfair division of oil produced in the reservoir site. The water board at its previous session instructed Attorney Keech to deal Amalgamated a solar plexus if this report proved true, in a word, to bring suit terminating Amalgamated's contract. Reports on the street were to the effect that Amalgamated was giving the farmers all the dirt and itself taking all the oil. Mr. Wootan showed these reports to be ill-founded. His company had been making a fair distribution of the oil, as his books showed, and everything was on the level. It seems the trouble all arose over Field Manager Murphy of the water company getting balled up on account of the warm weather. The meeting resulted in restoring the statu quo, and as everything seemed to be of the color of the rose the boys all walked down the street together. Amalgamated is pumping 50,000 barrels of oil monthly, worth $25,000, of which the water company gets one-eighth royalty, or something over $3100. The report last week that the company had struck a 10,000 barrel gusher turned out to be a dream. F.U.H.S.COMMENCEMENT Mark Keppel Delivers Interesting Address to Graduates The commencement exercises of the Fullerton grammar schools took place June 11. County Superintendent Keppel of Los Angeles delivered in town this week from Los Angeles and held a conference with the newly chosen board of directors of the Anaheim National Bank, which will occupy the brick building now nearing completion on West Center St., and be ready for business about the first of July. Mr. Thompson went over the stock subscriptions and other data at hand and approved the venture. His report goes to the Comptroller of Currency at Washington, who will issue the necessary papers to the bank. The new board of directors comprise Charles Eygabroad, president; V. U. Simpson, vice president; F. C. Krause, cashier; J. W. Duckworth, George W. Hamler, S. C. Hartranft, and H. M. Hellman of Los Angeles. The bank's capital stock has been increased to $50,000, and its stockholders include a number of the city's most influential business men. The bank's furnishings will be among the handsomest of any financial institution in the state. The floor will be of inlaid tiling and the interior finish being rich and costly. Marble counters will be installed. The bank will carry a large number of safety deposit boxes, and has purchased a large fireproof safe. It will also install an electric burglar alarm. COUNTY SEAT TAKES HONORS Highschool Players Champions At Tennis Meet The county tennis tournament was held at the highschool grounds in this city last Saturday. All schools in the county were represented. It was a fast tournament all the way through. The Santa Ana representatives were able to capture nearly every place. The only team that lost was the boys' doubles. In this Huntington Beach was victorious. Mabel Mansur won her tournament very easily, by the score of two 6-0 sets. Ruth Harding won girls' second singles, by a score of 6-0 and 7-5. Chas. Tidball showed good form in winning the second boys' singles. The girls' doubles were very fast, but Santa Ana proved too much for Anaheim, the score for this tournament being 6-1 and 6-0. A good fight was made for boys' doubles, but Huntington Beach had good team work and fast players, beating the Santa Ana team by a very small margin. The hardest fight was made for boys' singles. In the preliminaries Foutz beat a Huntington Beach man who was some player. Mark Keppel Delivers Interesting Address to Graduates The commencement exercises of the Fullerton grammar schools took place June 11. County Superintendent Keppel of Los Angeles delivered the principal address. About twenty were in the graduating class. The board of trustees has retained J. R. Parker as principal for next year. The high school commencement takes place on the 21st at Placentia. The engineering firm of Sloan & Robson of San Francisco has filed with the city trustees a plan for a municipal water system recommending the bonding of the city for $75,000. Water would be secured from drilled wells and piped to a big reservoir on the top of the hill above the city. S. R. Cokely has offered a site in Stern and Nicolas subdivision for septic tanks of the sewer system. The residents on Amerige and Wilshire avenues have filed a protest against narrowing the streets by widening the parking. The report of the building superintendent of the city shows that permits to the amount of $23,000 were issued during month of May. Among the new homes are two $5000 residences being built by Dr. Harold Wickett and R. S. Gregory. Captain and Mrs. Williams Sunday had the pleasure of entertaining Mrs. Snowden, Miss Reese, Miss Davis, Mrs. Zacharias and Mr. and Mrs. Reese Snowden, all old Pittsburg friends of the Captain and his wife. A good fight was made for boys' doubles but Huntington Beach had good team work and fast players, beating the Santa Ana team by a very small margin. The hardest fight was made for boys' singles. In the preliminaries Foutz beat a Huntington Beach man who was some player. In the finals Huch of Anaheim had four games on Foutz. There were many features of the tournament that were exciting. For the faculty, Prof. Turner of this city succeeded in capturing the title of champion. The total score was: Santa Ana 26, Huntington Beach 5, Fullerton 0, Anaheim 0, Orange 0. The two $8 rackets offered by the Orange County Title Company, were awarded to Miss Mabel Mansur, winner of girls' double, and to Lowell Foutz, winner of boys' double, both of Santa Ana. The large lake known as N'Yami, which Livingstone described as a great open waste of water broken up sometimes into waves, has been gradually drying up for years. Ten years ago all that was left was some five acres of shallow water, surrounded by reeds and mud. So shallow had it become that it was only navigable in certain channels. Of late years, the process of drying up has been accelerated, with the result that today hte open water has practically disappeared and little more than a swamp remains. G. D. Keller was in town from Los Angeles in his auto on Tuesday. He went to Claremont in the evening.
