THE GAZETTE IS SETTING THE PACE MODERN EQUIPMENT INSTALLED THIS WEEK IN MECHANICAL END INCREASED VOLUME OF BUSINESS NECESSITATES FASTER MACHINERY With the onward march of progress that has been so noticeable in Anaheim the past few years the Gazette has endeavored to not only keep up with the pace, but anticipate the future to a certain extent and equip the shop with modern machinery to meet local demands and place it in a position twenty-one years ago and are still doing good service. On account of the wonderful success of the Linotype machine many men have racked their brains in an attempt to provide "something just as good," and, while the writer is young in years, he can recall a number of such "substitutes," practically all of which have gone by the way after the usual splurge. This machine, just installed, is a new one, just from the factory, and embodies all the latest improvements in that wonderful machine. It is what is called a two-letter machine. By that term is meant that it casts two different faces on the same body without any change in the machine, other than the trip of a lever. The machine is too complicated to permit of a detailed description that would be understood by our readers, so we will not attempt anything of the kind. It consists of something like 3,000 different parts, each having its own specific work to perform, and each part doing its work with clock-like regularity and exactness. The machine must be seen in operation to form anything like a correct idea of its capacity. The cut printed with this story conveys an idea of its general appearance, but, of course, this cut is meaningless as to what it can accomplish. The Mergenthaler Linotype is a line-caster — that is, it turns out a tion to cope with the situation for several years in advance. Four years ago it was discovered that the old hand composition methods were too antiquated for the demands upon the news service of the paper and a linotype was installed at quite an expense. It was believed then this machine would meet the requirements for many years to come, but a few short years have shown that the forecast made at that time was too conservative, and while the machine that has done the work for four years is still in first-class condition, it this week had to go "away back and sit down" to make room for a modern Mergenthaler Standard No. 5 machine, the very latest model known today to the printing business. This new machine will cost, installed, approximately $4,000, but the increasing demands upon the news service of the paper made it essential and the paper has never laid down on a proposition that meant additional investment when the interests of its large clientile of readers was at stake. On this page is reproduced a picture of the new machine installed Thursday upon its arrival from the factory at Brooklyn, N. Y. It is in operation in the office this week, and this issue is printed from type cast upon it. The machine has a much greater capacity than the one just relegated and the range of work is solid line of type, instead of a line composed of thirty or forty different letters. To do this it handles matrices or molds, representing all the characters used, and assembling a line of matrices, it spaces the line automatically, and then sends it along to be cast into a solid line slug. After the operation of casting is completed it takes up the matrices far more accurately and quickly than human hands could do, and returns the same to their proper receptacles in the magazine, to be used over and over again. The lines, after being printed, are returned to the metal pot, to be remelted and recast for the next issue. The machine was erected by Mr. E. G. Lindner, the Southern representative of the Mergenthaler Linotype Co., who also erected our Junior machine four years ago. Mr. W. T. Moore, of Los Angeles, has charge of the machine and from the way he starts at the chore, no trouble from "bucking" is anticipated. With this latest addition to an already modern equipment, Gazette readers will pardon us if enthusiasm causes the horn to toot a little too loudly. However, the Gazette is proud of its equipment and of the ability of the force to turn out good printing. This office has always sustained a reputation for good work and intends that the future shall find it in the same class. "Work done right" is must be seen in operation to form anything like a correct idea of its capacity. The cut printed with this story conveys an idea of its general appearance, but, of course, this cut is meaningless as to what it can accomplish.

On this page is reproduced a picture of the new machine installed Thursday upon its arrival from the factory at Brooklyn, N.Y. It is in operation in the office this week, and this issue is printed from type cast upon it. The machine has a much greater capacity than the one just relegated and the range of work is not surpassed by any machine manufactured. The shop extends an invitation to its friends to step in any time during working hours and see the machine in operation. It will be a treat to witness the almost human manipulations of this assemblage of metal as it goes about its task of casting the molten type metal into slugs containing the words which send the messages of the Gazette out to it large circle of readers every week. About a quarter of a century ago some of the greatest printers this country has ever known, ever in advance of their trade, seeing in the printing world a field for a machine to do away with the costly and tedious hand composition, sought out one Ottomar Mergenthaler, a jeweler by trade, and possessed of great inventive genius, and placed him on a salary with the understanding that he should devote his time to the development of a typesetting machine of some kind, and as a result of his efforts today finds the Mergenthaler Linotype, a product of American brains and enterprise, used in every country in the world and standing alone without a peer as the only practical substitute for hand composition. While the manufacturers, the Megenthaler Linotype Co., of New York, has kept in advance of the demand for improvements by keeping a corps of experts developing new ideas, a significant fact which is indicative of the stability and practicability of the machine, is evidenced by the use today of the early models which were placed in newspapers and job offices Mr. W. T. Moore, of Los Angeles, has charge of the machine and from the way he starts at the chore, no trouble from "bucking" is anticipated. With this latest addition to an already modern equipment, Gazette readers will pardon us if enthusiasm causes the horn to toot a little too loudly. However, the Gazette is proud of its equipment and of the ability of the force to turn out good printing. This office has always sustained a reputation for good work and intends that the future shall find it in the same class. "Work done right" is the motto here. As to the paper, in the future it is going to give its readers a better paper, but will not say a great deal along these lines, preferring to allow the reading public to pass judgment and say the good things, if there are any to be said, and forget the bad.

AHEIM GAZET ANAHEIM, CALIFORNIA, THURSDAY. JUNE 27, 1912 BUSY WEEK FOR ANAHEIM H. S. “GRADS” BACCALAUREATE SERMON BY REV. C. A. MOORE SUNDAY NIGHT, LAST CLASS PLAY WEDNESDAY, COMMENCEMENT THURSDAY, RECEPTION FRIDAY This is an eventful week for the graduating class of the Anaheim Union High School, marking the close of the 1911-12 term and the graduation of a class of seventeen of Anaheim's sons and daughters. The week's program began Sunday night when the Rev. C. A. Moore, of the Christian church, delivered the Baccalaureate sermon at the auditorium. Following this came the class play on Wednesday night, the various characters being portrayed by members of the Senior class, augmented by a few students from the lower classes of the High School who were called in to fill places in the large cast. The title of the play given by the class was “A College Town,” and EBELL CLUB RAISES FUNDS Sale of Food Stuffs Helps Pay for Site for Club House There were 71 entries in the baking contest held by the Ebell Club at the D. V. Beebe garage last Thursday afternoon and a large crowd of people were present to gaze with delight at the splendid array of gastronomic delicacies spread upon the several tables used for show purposes. The tables had been arranged in the west front show window and many of the passers-by stopped to whet up their appetites by a peep at the tempting food stuffs. After the judges had awarded prizes the prize stuff was sold at auction by Robert McKee and good sums were realized from this source. The balance of the food was sold at regular sale, a price having been placed upon it by the committee in charge. Following is a list of prize winners in the contest: Best white layer cake, Mrs. B. V. Beebe; loaf cake, Mrs. F. Machleb; devil cake, Mrs. J. W. Utter; pies, Mrs. Richard Melrose; doughnuts, Mrs. Wm. McLaughlin; bread, Miss Theressa Fay; biscuits, Mrs. James Sherer; potato chips, Mrs. F. Wood; fudge candy, Miss Frieda Janss. Second, white layer cake, Mrs. Bruce; loaf cake, Mrs. C. G. McKinley. The judges in the contest were Miss Ida Bentz, Mrs. O. A. Mullinix and Dr. D. D. Parker. The contest was promoted by F. E. Harding, of Los Angeles, representing the Cudahy Packing Company. About $30 was realized from the undertaking of last Thursday and this money will be applied to paying for MASONS TO HAVE SPLENDID HOME MASONIC TEMPLE TO BE ERECTED IN ANAHEIM DURING THE SUMMER STOCK SELLING RAPIDLY AND BUILDING SITE ALREADY SECURED At a meeting of the Masonic lodge Monday night it was learned that rapid progress was being made toward the building of a splendid temple in Anaheim, to be located on the lots already purchased by the Masonic Temple Association on the northeast corner of Center and Emily streets. The temple is to cost approximately $25,000 and will be constructed of cream-colored brick, cement and iron, practically fire-proof. It will consist of two stories and basement and it is thought the Y. M. C. A. will occupy the basement. The lodge rooms will be on the second floor and at the rear of these rooms will be the banquet room. of the 1911-12 term and the graduation of a class of seventeen of Anaheim's sons and daughters. The week's program began Sunday night when the Rev. C. A. Moore, of the Christian church, delivered the Baccaloureate sermon at the auditorium. Following this came the class play on Wednesday night, the various characters being portrayed by members of the Senior class, augmented by a few students from the lower classes of the High School who were called in to fill places in the large cast. The title of the play given by the class was "A College Town," and the plot savored strongly of college life, presenting many situations that are characteristic of the environments of the college lad and lassie. One of the big events of the week is the Commencement program which is to be given tonight (Thursday) in the auditorium. Following is the program for this feature: Invocation...Rev. F. W. Mitchell "On the Sea"...Buck Sierra Quartet "Cavatina" — "Salve Dimora" — Faust ...Gounod Mr. Macurda (a) "Still wie de Nacht"...Bohm (b) "Rosary"...Nevin Mr. Ruenitz "Annie Laurle"...Buck Sierra Quartet Salutatory ...Edith Hedstrom Duet ...Selected Mr. Macurda, Mr. Ruenitz "The Phantom Band"...Thayer Sierra Quartet (a) "In Spain"...Petrie (b) "You and Love"...dHardelot Mr. MacPherson Medley ...Sierra Quartet Valedictory ...Eva Newman Presentation of Class ...J.

This is to be held in the auditorium and will be attended by a large number of students of the four classes of the High School. For this evening the Juniors will furnish the entertainment while it is up to the Sophomores to prepare the banquet. The decorating part of the program is being entrusted to the Freshmen. It is needless to say each of these classes will exert every energy to make their part of the exercises a success, and it goes without saying that their efforts will be crowned with glory in the final consummation of the plans. The class this year numbers seventeen as follows: Eva J. Newman, Edith J. Hedstrom, Florence Lacey, Rosa M. Clabaugh, Edleen S. Armstrong, Cunigundy B. Gildea, Mabel V. Smith, Grace Adams, Zoe D.

Flagg had received news of the sudden death of his father, Thomas W. Flagg, at the Soldiers' Home, Sawtelle, Cal., that morning. The elder Flagg had been apparently feeling as well as usual and when seen by his son six weeks ago was thought to be in splendid health. It seems the old gentleman, who was suffering from Brights' disease, went to the beach where he caught cold, the trouble settling on his kidneys, causing sudden death. Mr. Flagg was a native of Richmond, Vt., later moving to Paw Paw, Ill., in 1850. He was a veteran of the Civil War and also served a term of five years in the regular army, being stationed in Arizona and New Mexico where he took part in the noted raid which resulted in the capture of the noted Indian chief Geronimo. Besides his son in this city who is a member of the Plaindealer staff, the deceased leaves one sister and a brother, Jerome W. Flagg, of Santa Ana. The funeral was held Thursday afternoon of last week at the Soldiers' Home where the deceased was buried with military honors. NAMES VERIFICATION DEPUTIES V. U. Simpson Actively in the Race for Supervisor V. U. Simpson this week formally announces himself as a candidate for the democratic nomination for supervisor in the Third district.

DIED SUDDENLY FRIDAY Heart Trouble Causes Death of Mrs. Henry Young of West Anaheim Mrs. Henry Young, who has been a resident of West Anaheim for eleven years, died suddenly at her home last Friday evening about 7 o'clock. She was engaged in milking when the end came. She had finished with one cow and just started on the second when she suddenly fell backward and life was extinct. The funeral was held Monday afternoon from the Backs & Terry undertaking parlers and interment was in Anaheim cemetery. Mrs. Young leaves a husband and four children, besides a host of friends.

Will Observe Anniversary of the Local Lodge If you attend the annual open meeting of Anaheim Lodge No. 685, L. O. O. M., to be given at the Eagles' lodge room on Thursday evening, July 11, and don't have a good time you will have to blame somebody besides the committees in charge of the affair. There are a number of these committees and each one is working hard to make the celebration a decided success, not the least among which is the program committee which is endeavoring to give an entertainment that will really entertain the visitors and members. This committee's work is as yet in the embryo, but they have planned to furnish music for dancing, cards and refreshments. A splendid musical program will also be given by local talent. A detailed program has been promised for next week. The Moose lodge in Anaheim is not quite a year old, but it is a pretty healthy youngster, in spite of immature age. It has a membership of over 200 in good standing and is just closing a most successful first years' business, with prospects for greater things in the future. It goes without saying that a large crowd will attend the first annual open meeting given by Anaheim Lodge 685, L. O. O. M., and the committees promise that every visitor will receive a hearty welcome and be shown a good time. COMMITTEE OF EAGLES HAS GOOD PROGRAM TO ENTERTAIN EVERYBODY AUTO COMMITTEE RAISES MONEY AND COMPLETES PROGRAM FOR RACES Step by step the Fourth of July committees are bringing their plans to a close and the day promises to be an interesting one for all who journey to Anaheim to celebrate the nation's birthday. The double program arranged by the Eagles and the Automobile Club will lend an attractiveness to the doings that cannot help but appeal to all who come. A few features are being constantly added to the Eagles' part of the day's festivities and they will present a program that will appeal to those who enjoy a day's outing filled with good wholesome amusement. The finance committee of the Automobile Club guarantees the raising of the required $750 to finance the big road races and practically all the details of the afternoon's racing program have been attended to. The loving cups were ordered this week and will be beauties. The committee appointed to look after getting the course in order has made arrangements to have the Ball road put in shape and will also have all dips on Center and Los Angeles streets filled for the event. Following is a list of rules that all entrants must comply with: Positively no ladies allowed to drive or ride on the course during any event. There are to be three classes, as follows: Light car, 20 H. P. and under; medium car, 20 to 30 H. P.; free-for-all, open to all cars. These three classes to apply to both roadrace and straightaway.

The funeral was held Monday afternoon from the Backs & Terry undertaking parlors and interment was in the Anaheim cemetery. Mrs. Young leaves a husband and four children, besides a host of friends to mourn her death. MAY NOT PERFORM. One of the leading characters in the class play to be given by the Anaheim Union High School, Miss Florence Lacey, was injured in an automobile accident recently and may not be able to handle her part in the bill. In this case her part will be assumed by an understudy, Miss Katherine Hand, who is well up in the lines and dramatic situations of the production. When returning from a class play in a near-by town the machine in which Lacey was riding broke a front wheel and the lady was thrown under the frame of the machine, fracturing the knee cap. Her physician believes she will be able to assume her role. OFF TO CONVENTION Tomorrow the Orange county delegates to the state convention, Christian Endeavor, will leave for Fresno where a ten-days' session is to be held. A special car has been chartered to carry the delegates from this county, who will number about thirty-five. Those from Anaheim are Mrs. L. E. Miller and son Edwin, Miss Eleanore Parker, Miss Alice Grimshaw and Howard Gratz. When attempting to start a gasoline engine at his pumping plant at Bolsa, Archie McGowen became entangled in the machinery in some way and a large slice was torn from his leg. It made a jagged wound and he will be laid up for some time.

BOARD OF TRADE IN REGULAR SESSION TALK ON BETTER ROADS COMES IN FOR SHARE OF THE EVENING FACTORY PROPOSITION OF SANTA FE WAS TABLED FOR THE PRESENT There was only a fair-sized attendance at the Board of Trade meeting Monday night, but what was lacking in numbers was made up for in activity by those there. It was a little after 8 o'clock when President W. P. Quarton sounded the gavel which called the assemblage to order. After the reading of the minutes of the last regular meeting by H. M. Adams, who acted as secretary in the absence of Secretary J. F. Ahlborn, the name of F. S. Edmiston was presented for membership and he was unanimously elected to membership.

They will sail on June 29 from New York and after a time spent in sightseeing will go to Mariburg for the summer school session and then to Berlin for university studies. They may remain until about the first of the year. Miss Ames was a teacher in vocal culture in the Anaheim schools last year, and has many friends here who will wish her a pleasant journey and safe return. NEW BUSINESS ENTERPRISE The first of the week the Western Marble & Granite Works, with headquarters at Santa Ana, began unloading a $1,000 stock of monumental material on the lots just west of the Opera house block. E. L. Warner, manager of the company, was here last week and made arrangements for launching the enterprise and following shortly after him came the first load of material. The local work is in charge of A. B. West, an experienced marble and granite cutter. They are showing some beautiful samples on their show lots. WILL FIGHT THE SUIT William L. Morford as guardian for Hattie P. Morford, aged 14, has brought suit against J. D. Heitshusen of this city for $1,000 damages for an alleged accident to the girl on February 25 last when the petition alleges Mr. Heitshusen drove his automobile in a reckless and careless manner and struck Hattie Morford in the side, knocking her down and causing serious injuries. Mr. Heitshusen will contest the suit which he characterizes as unjust and preposterous. BEETS WILL BE LATE From all reports coming to this office it seems the beet crop will be somewhat late this year, owing to a lack of moisture right after planting. A representative of the sugar factory told a Gazette reporter last Saturday that it was anticipated the crop would begin to be harvested about the first of August which is some two months later at the Board of Trade meeting Monday night, but what was lacking in numbers was made up for in activity by those there. It was a little after 8 o'clock when President W. P. Quarton sounded the gavel which called the assemblage to order. After the reading of the minutes of the last regular meeting by H. M. Adams, who acted as secretary in the absence of Secretary J. F. Ahlborn, the name of F. S. Edmiston was presented for membership and he was unanimously elected to membership. The first matter that came up for consideration was good roads and A. A. Mills spoke upon the advisability of starting action on having Los Angeles street paved to the city limits in order to show the state highway surveyor that some movement was in progress here to assist in building the inland route of the state highway. Mr. Mills further stated that he had talked with Mr. Clarke, chief of this division of the work and that Mr. Clarke had informed him the surveyors were now at Oceanside and working this way and would reach Anaheim some time about the middle of July. Mr. Clarke stated also that some changes would be needed in the present route to straighten out the road, the biggest changes being necessary near Capistrano and at the Joseph Fiscus place near this city. After Mr. Mills' talk Otto Storm, of the committee on highways, promised to make an effort to get his committee busy on work along this line. Frank N. Gibbs, of the committee on manufactories, reported that his committee had met with Agent Clabaugh and Traveling Freight Agent Conway of the Santa Fe, relative to the factory the company intended trying to locate here and said they learned that a bonus of five acres of land and between $20,000 and $25,000 in cash would be required to secure the factory which would employ between 150 and 200 women and girls and about eight men. A motion was made to accept the report of the committee and table the proposition. It carried. More good roads talk was indulged in and A. A. Mills reported there was some talk regarding paving the road all the way from Anaheim to Fullerton. He suggested also that it might be possible to get property owners along the route to put in curbing and plant palms along the route and also illuminate the road between the two cities with electricity. An estimate made on the cost of the work had showed that it would cost approximately $1.00 per foot to pave the entire road, in addition to the work to be done by the state, and Mr. Mills stated there were several living along the route that had signified a willingness to go into the proposition. He suggested several plans for bringing this condition about, but feared there would be strong opposition from a number of the residents along the route unless some legal way could be adopted to carry out the plans. In the reading of bills the Germania restaurant was allowed $28.00 for furnishing a banquet to eighty at the time of the Stanton meeting here. BEETS WILL BE LATE From all reports coming to this office it seems the beet crop will be somewhat late this year, owing to a lack of moisture right after planting. A representative of the sugar factory told a Gazette reporter last Saturday that it was anticipated the crop would begin to be harvested about the first of August which is some two weeks later than ordinarily. The planting this year is said to be about 9,000,000 acres and the quality is reported to be sufficient to make up for the tardiness of the crop.

CELEBRATED ANNIVERSARY Seven years ago B. Hartfield engaged in the jewelry business in Anaheim and since that time he has been constantly on the job. He has made it a practice to hold annual sales in commemoration of the event and this year was no exception. He launched his sale last Saturday, advertising a general cut in prices all through the stock and the sale will continue all this week. He reports very satisfactory results so far this week. J. B. Rea spent several days the past week at Pomona, Ontario, Azusa and other points of interest in the upper valley. WILL TRY TO LOWER RECORD Next Sunday B. D. McAlvay and Bert Schindeldecker in an E. M. F. stock car stripped, will go out in an effort to lower the road record between Los Angeles and San Diego and return. The present record is held by the Buick car and is a little more than eight hours. Mr. McAlvay says he is going to try to clip off at least an hour and a half from the present record. He has worked hard with his E. M. F. for some time past in an effort to master the machine and he is going to try to get everything out of the engines there is in them. Prior to making the record test these two men will make a run over the course between the two cities to get a line on the bad places in the route.
