On the start off I was up against it hard. Couldn't get it through my noodle. Fell down every time I went to class. Finally I says to myself, look here, old kid, it's up to you. You've got to cut out the funny business and take a brace or you'll see your finish, the surest thing you know. Well I studied, believe me. And say, when it came to the final exams, did I lose out? Not on your life. I was right there with bells on. There was certainly some class to the way I answered those quizzes. A cold mark of ninety-five when it was all over. Not so worse, eh? Can you beat it? How I did it, I don't know. You can search me. But anyhow it's going some, eh, dad? None of em's got anything on me when it comes to grammar, that's a cinch." The old gent managed to gasp, "Get the hook." INCREASE IN VALUATION Returns This Year on Assessment Show Total of $41,341,310 Showing an increase of $8,897,635, County Assessor James Sleeper Monday noon turned his assessment rolls over to the county board of equalization, says the Santa Ana Register. The total valuation is $41,341,310. The total in 1910 was $27,784,880. In Sleeper's first year in office, he brought the assessment to $32,463,675, and the assessment just completed brings the figures well over $41,000,-000.00. The big increase in the total is due to two things: The growth of the county and the re-adjustment of assessments. As everybody knows, Orange county has advanced wonderfully in the last two years.

These added to the permits for the first meeting of June made a total for June of $27,550.00. Following the reading of the minutes of the previous meeting the finance committee reported bills against the city to the amount of $341.95 audited and found correct and they were ordered paid. More time was granted the city attorney and ordinance committee to draft ordinances needed by the city. Several communications were read from indemnity companies quoting rates for insuring the city against damages to city employees injured in the performance of their duties and the correspondence was turned over to a committee consisting of Trustees Gates, Hamler and Stark for comparison and a report at some future meeting as to the best company to have business written in. A communication from the Home Rule Taxation league was read, asking the city to assist in securing signatures for placing on the election ballot an amendment to change the present system of levying railroad taxes and City Attorney Evans volunteered to acquaint himself with the movement and present the petition to the several civic bodies and secure Anaheim's necessary quota of signers. A report was made of several holes left in the streets by the gas company in making service connections and orders were issued to have the gas company remedy the trouble at once. John Kellenberger presented a request from the city drivers for a raise in salaries and after some discussion it was decided to raise the salary of Ben Lesing to $70 per month and appoint him foreman of the work and also increase the salary of Hiram Bowen $5 per month, giving him a salary of $65 per month, beginning July 1. Kellenberger was also instructed to make inquiry as to securing extra teams for city work and to hire the necessary horses to do the work in hand at all times. The Home Telephone Company had presented a bid of 60 cents per month The total valuation is $41,341,310. The total in 1910 was $27,784,880. In Sleeper's first year in office, he brought the assessment to $32,463,675, and the assessment just completed brings the figures well over $41,000,-000.00. The big increase in the total is due to two things: The growth of the county and the re-adjustment of assessments. As everybody knows, Orange county has advanced wonderfully in the last two years. The biggest share of the increase, however, has come in the re-adjustment. Several of the big ranches were given substantial raises, and in the oil wells district, where Sleeper made a big raise a year ago, the re-adjustment has been to bring those fields into line for proper taxes. One company that was assessed at about $25,000 last year is down on the books this year for $512,845. Another feature of the work of the assessor and his field deputies was the collection of $11,469 cash for taxes on mineral rights. Mineral rights have never been assessed in this county. This assessment is on the leases of lands for oil purposes. The total of $41,341,310 includes the operative property, assessed for the state, and upon which the county tax rate cannot be based. The operative property is assessed at $2,459,515, which is about the same as last year. The footings for the total assessment are as follows: Real estate outside of cities—$21,079,175. Real estate inside of cities—$5,183,665. Improvements on real estate outside cities—$3,474,620. Improvements on real estate inside cities—$3,335,650. Personal property—$8,078,255. Money and solvent credits—$239,945. With the big increase in the assessment it is more than likely that the county tax rate will be materially reduced. The tax rate in 1910 was $1.60 outside cities nad $1.20 inside cities. The tax rate in 1911 was $1.50 outside cities and $1.10 inside cities. County Assessor Sleeper states that he has endeavored to equalize all assessments, and that his books are open to the inspection of any person at any time. The supervisors will sit as a board of equalization up to and including July 15. PLEASANT PROGRAM PLANNED It was expected that the committee in charge of the Moose Annual open meeting would have its program in detail in time to be given in this issue, but several numbers of the entertainment are still pending and the committee can only generalize in telling what they expect to do. The meeting is to be held on Thursday night, July 11, in the Eagles' lodge rooms. There will be an open meeting of the order first, which will be in the nature of a reception and to which all are invited.

Kellenberger was also instructed to make inquiry as to securing extra teams for city work and to hire the necessary horses to do the work in hand at all times. The Home Telephone Company had presented a bid of 60 cents per month for an extension telephone to the fire house and they were instructed to install the extension at once. The Pacific Telephone Company manager had not yet received a quotation from his company. A resolution was passed granting a discount of 25 per cent to users of electricity where the bills amount to $25 or more per month. The city attorney was instructed to draw up deeds for a strip of land necessary to widen Walnut street and also to secure a right of way through Mrs. Mary Stock's property on Walnut street for a water main. ENTERTAINED AN ARTIST Last Sunday evening Mrs. C. A. Corneille entertained a dozen musically inclined friends in honor of Signor Querino Pellicciotti, a young artist who is making his home in Los Angeles, recovering from an operation upon his throat a short time ago. The evening was most delightfully passed at music and the Signor was well pleased with the program arranged for him by Mrs. Corneille, who has appeared in concerts with him in Los Angeles on several occasions. Signor Pellicciotti has a wonderful voice, according to Mrs. Corneille, who is a finished judge of the vocal art, and has just signed a contract with Hammerstein to appear in grand opera as soon as his throat fully recovers. It is seldom indeed that local musicians have an opportunity to entertain a guest with as promising a future as Signor Pellicciotti and they may well feel proud of the shower of praise bestowed upon their efforts.

The entire hall and building will be artistically decorated in the Moose colors of red and white. The parlors of the hall will be devoted to cards and social intercourse, dance music will be furnished in the lodge room and those who like to trip the light fantastic will be accommodated. Freshments consisting of ice cream, cake and punch will be served in the banquet rooms. The program will consist of both vocal and instrumental music and a talk or two will probably be made. An invitation is extended to all to be present and the reputation of the bunch composing the Moose lodge is a guarantee that every visitor will be well entertained... PREPARING FOR SHOW Seventy buildings have been removed from the 1915 Universal Exposition site at San Francisco and the work is still progressing. Within another thirty days there will not be a structure or an incumbrance on the site. Nine pieces of property west of laguna street and ten pieces east of Laguna street and west of Van Ness avenue, are still to be acquired. Condemnation suits have been brought against all the owners and the attorneys for the exposition are rushing these suits so that the buildings and grounds department will not be delayed in its important work. Plans for the construction of the fence are prepared and bids will be called for as soon as the city authorities close the streets on the exposition site. The work of the construction of the sea wall is almost completed—more than 15,000 cubic yards of stone have been hauled to the site by Caldwell & Co., contractors.

PLAY WAS DECIDED SUCCESS LOCAL THESPIANS MADE GOOD IN PORTRAYING CLASS PLAY, "A COLLEGE TOWN" REAL ACTING CHARACTERIZED DELINEATION OF VARIOUS CHARACTERS "Place—Any college town; time—present day." The above appeared on the synopsis of the programs for the class play by the 1912 Seniors entitled "A College Town." It gives an idea of the situations the local thespians endeavored to portray at the auditorium last Wednesday night—and in fact did portray to a degree remarkable when it is considered that amateurs handled the complex situations and delineated the many characters of the play. Their rendition of the play showed careful study and also hard work on the part of both players and instructor, and there were few, if any, who left the auditorium without praise for the histrionic ability displayed by each member of the cast. Special scenery had been prepared for the play and this helped a great deal in lending color to the three scenes which represented a college boarding house, a faculty dinner party and a football gridiron. The large auditorium was well filled when the curtain rang up on the first act and from that time until the close of the play the performers had the closest attention from their auditors. "A College Town" is a beautiful little love story with a vein of wholesome humor running through it. It tells of the triumphs of "Jimmie Cavendish" in his efforts to win the heart A SMILE OR TWO Boreleigh—I hope my call has not tired you. Miss Keen—Oh, no. I inherit a wonderfully strong constitution. Actor—I can bring tears to the eyes of the audience. Theatrical Manager—Huh! We want somebody who can bring the audience. "So you say you're an old-time sailor. Did you ever have any accidents while at sea?" "Once, mum. I dropped a bowl of hot soup in an old lady's lap." Mrs. Gotham—Don't you think those doughnuts are an improvement on the last ones I made? Mr. Gotham—Oh, yes, dear; the holes are larger. "I am inclined to suspect the sobriety of the last student in our class." "Why so?" "When I asked him what were his favorite studies in ornithology he replied, swallows, larks, and bats." "I have just been talking to a youth who claims to have done everything." "Has he ever wrapped a motor-car around a telegraph pole at 3 o'clock in the morning?" "I think not." "Then he has a great deal to learn." Diggs—My wife is a wonderful vocalist. Why, I have known her to hold her audience for hours—— Biggs—Get out! Diggs—After which she would lay it in the cradle and rock it to sleep. The Visitor—Why are you here, my misguided friend? The Prisoner—I'm the victim of the unlucky number 13. The Visitor—Indeed; how's that? The Prisoner—Twelve jurors and one judge. The portly lady had accidentally taken a rear seat reserved for smokers. With unconcealed indignation she watched the man beside her fill his pipe. "Sir," finally came her frigid tones, "smoking always makes me feel money in potatoes" Staple Article of Food a Native of the United States This is the native country of the potato, says the Christian Science Monitor, although Ireland was the first country of Europe to give it recognition, thanks to Sir Walter Raleigh, who learned all about it from Sir John Hawkins and put his information to practical use. For nearly three centuries the potato has been a favorite edible the world over. Its cultivation is peculiarly adapted to the United States. It thrives equally well north and south. It requires comparatively little care when in the ground. Everybody eats it; it is as staple as bread; there never is a great surplus of it; in some parts of the country the people who raise it are living in steam-heated homes and riding in the latest automobiles; the price charged for it throughout the greater part of the year is frequently exorbitant because of its scarcity. Enough potatoes could easily be raised in the United States to supply the markets of the world, yet since last September the importations of them into New York have amounted to 700,000 sacks; into Portland, Me., (not far from Aroostook county), the marvelous potato producing district of the world), and into Boston, about 650,000 sacks; and into Philadelphia, Baltimore and New Orleans quantities sufficient to bring the total importations up to 5,000,000 sacks, the duties alone upon which amounted to some $3,500,000. From the standpoint of a country that is agitated more or less continually by outcries against the high cost of living, and a country that could have produced these 5,000,000 sacks additionally in any one of its agricultural states, this reveals a very lamentable situation. It shows clearly that the high cost of living is not due nearly so much to the trusts and combines and monopolies as to the indifference to and neglect of the soil. The soil is ready and able to relieve the situation by doubling or quadrupling the present production of potatoes and other Special scenery had been prepared for the play and this helped a great deal in lending color to the three scenes which represented a college boarding house, a faculty dinner party and a football gridiron. The large auditorium was well filled when the curtain rang up on the first set and from that time until the close of the play the performers had the closest attention from their auditors. "A College Town" is a beautiful little love story with a vein of whole-some humor running through it. It tells of the triumphs of "Jimmie Cavendish" in his efforts to win the heart and hand of "Miss 'Jim' Channing—the girl from Dixie," and finally places him in the limelight as a hero in a football game where he grasps his team from apparent defeat at the finish of the first half and carries them to victory at the close of the second half. There were places for real acting all through the bill and not many opportunities were overlooked. A vein of comedy running through the play kept the audience good natured and brought forth many a hearty laugh. It would be hard indeed to separate the wheat from the chaff in a comparison of the abilities of the several characters, because all were good. Even the little "bits" of the story were handled in a thoroughly commendable manner and justice can only be done to each member of the cast by saying all were good. Following is the cast: Jimmie Cavendish—A Rah-rah Boy Adolph Sanderson Tad Cheseldine—The College Cut-up Clyde Kelly Leviticus—The Ace of Spades... Clarence Beebe Major Kilpepper—The Head of the Military... W. Rae Laidlaw Prof. Senacharib Popp—The Chair of Philolgy... Paul Baker Scotch MacAllister—The Football Captain...

Wheeler in self-defense at Los Alamitos on April 21, died at the Santa Ana hospital Sunday night, as a result of the shooting. The affair which caused the death of the Mexican occurred at Los Alamitos following the dispatch of Ruiz by The Visitor—Why are you here, my misguided friend? The Prisoner—I'm the victim of the unlucky number 13. The Visitor—Indeed; how's that? The Prisoner—Twelve jurors and one judge. The portly lady had accidentally taken a rear seat reserved for smokers. With unconcealed indignation she watched the man beside her fill his pipe. "Iir," finally came her frigid tones, "smoking always makes me feel sick!" "Do it now, ma'am?" said the man as he carefully lighted up; "then take my advice an' don't smoke." There were times when McFee gloried in the fact that he was the father of nine children, even if they were on the lines of the proverbial human stepladder, but on the day when he was taking them out for a walk he felt chagrined. He was walking along at a fairly good gait when he was halted by a policeman, who asked: "I say you, what you been doin'?" "Nothing," replied McFee. "Why?" "Well, what's the crowd following you for?" The young hopeful had secreted some bright buttons in his pocket, which came from the automobile show. When Sunday school was well under way, he took one out and pinned it on his coat, feeling it an ornament. Unfortunately, when the minister came round to speak to the dear children, his near-sighted eyes were caught by the color. "Well, Richard, I see you are wearing some motto, my lad. What does it say?" "You read it, sir." replied Richard, hanging his head. "But I cannot see; I haven't my glasses, son. Read it so we can all hear you." Richard blushed. "It says, sir, 'Aint it hell to be poor!'" This dialogue is reported from Gove County, Kansas: "I reckon," said the first farmer, "that I get up earlier than anybody in this neighborhood. I am always up before 4 o'clock in the morning." The second farmer said he was always up before that and had part of the chores done. The first farmer thought he was a liar, and decided to find out. A few mornings later he got up at 3 o'clock and went to the neighbor's house. He rapped on the back door and the woman of the house opened it. "Where is your husband?" asked the farmer, expecting to find the neighbor in bed. "He was around here early in the morning," answered the wife, "but I don't know where he is now." SHE DIDN'T OBJECT TO THAT "Yes," said the conscientious dealer, "this hammock will hold two, but it will be a tight squeeze." "Oh, that will be all right!" said the maiden, blushing; "just send it around to the house, please." JUST THE RIGHT MAN "Oh, doctor!" exclaimed the woman patient. "I was suffering so much that alone upon which amounted to some $3,500,000." From the standpoint of a country that is agitated more or less continually by outcries against the high cost of living, and a country that could have produced these 5,000,000 sacks additionally in any one of its agricultural states, this reveals a very lamentable situation. It shows clearly that the high cost of living is not due nearly so much to the trusts and combines and monopolies as to the indifference to and neglect of the soil. The soil is ready and able to relieve the situation by doubling or quadrupling the present production of potatoes and other foodstuffs, and all that stands in its way is a lack of labor. Tens of thousands of young men, on the other hand, are being taught that the opportunities that came to their grandfathers and their fathers are denied them, that capitalism is defrauding them of their chances of acquiring competence and independence. They prefer working for a low wage in town and city to working for themselves in the fields. They are looking for the return of opportunities that have passed them, rather than taking advantage of opportunities that are knocking at their doors. Why don't they turn their backs upon the overcrowded towns and cities and their faces toward farms? Why don't they relieve the pressure upon the workshops, stores and factories and go out into the country where there is elbow room and breathing room and opportunity? Why don't they raise potatoes as a beginning and thus obtain the start they despair of obtaining in the congested industrial centers? Why? TWO WAYS A pompous physician who was inclined to criticise others, was watching a stonerason build a fence for his neighbor, and thought the mason was using too much mortar. He said: "Jim, mortar covers up a good many mistakes, does it not?" "Yes, doctor," replied the mason, "and so does the spade."

Wheeler in self-defense at Los Alamitos on April 21, died at the Santa Ana hospital Sunday night, as a result of the shooting. The affair which caused the death of the Mexican occurred at Los Alamitos following the dispatch of Ruiz by Wheeler to secure a bottle of beer at a "blind pig." Ruiz had been given 50 cents with which to purchase the beer and upon his return stated he had drank the beer and remarked if Wheeler didn't like it he could fight. Wheeler and his companions drew away but were followed by Ruiz and a few Mexican friends who were apparently looking for trouble. The Mexicans kept up their bickerings until Ruiz shoved Wheeler and then stepped back and apparently reached for a revolver upon which Wheeler drew his gun and shot Ruiz through the abdomen, puncturing the intestines in seven places. The Mexican continued to grow steadily worse until death resulted Sunday night. At his preliminary hearing Wheeler was acquitted. The body was brought to Anaheim and interred on Tuesday afternoon. EDUCATOR ARRIVES HERE Prof. Earl Beebe and family, he a son of Mr. and Mrs. Hiram Beebe, arrived last week from New Rockford, N. D., with the expectation of making their home at some point in Southern California. Prof. Beebe has held a chair in Phillips Academy at New Rockford and he may decide to follow this same line of work here, although it is possible he may enter some other important field.

"Oh, that will be all right!" said the maiden, blushing; "just send it around to the house, please." JUST THE RIGHT MAN "Oh, doctor!" exclaimed the woman patient, "I was suffering so much that I just wanted to die." "Well," said the physician, "you did right to call me in at once." WHY SHE WAS SCANDALIZED The young lady, visiting her aunt in the country, came in late one afternoon. "Where in the world have you been?" asked her aunt. "In the hammock all afternoon," she responded, "with my beloved Robert Browning." The aunt eyed her sternly. Then she said: "If I hear of any more such scandalous proceedings I shall certainly write to your mother." ANTHRACITE OUTPUT BIG The production of anthracite coal in 1911, according to figures compiled by E. W. Parker and made public by the United States Geological Survey, was 80,732,013 long tons, valued at $174.852,843. This was an increase of 5,298,767 tons over the production for 1910. During the Spanish-American war the navy department, by way of a graceful compliment to the great universities, renamed two converted cruisers Harvard and Yale. Not long after Commodore Dewey was asked what new names should be conferred upon two little Spanish gunboats that had been captured in Philippine waters. "Oh," said the commodore, "we'll just call one the Massachusetts Institute of Technology and the other the Pennsylvania College for Physicians and Surgeons."
