PAVING LOS ANGELES STREET The County Highway Commission has suggested to the city trustees that unpaved portions of Los Angeles street be paved in order to connect with the state highway, which will pass through this city along that thoroughfare. The street is already paved for a considerable part of its distance, but there remains a quarter of a mile from Sycamore street to North street, and more than half a mile from Santa Ana street to Broad street yet to be paved. The expense of paving will be great, yet the advantage of having the state highway pass through this city will, we think, more than compensate for the monetary outlay. The area to be paved is too small to warrant paving companies to come here and offer bids upon it, and it would seem the part of wisdom to include other thoroughfares where paving is now under consideration in a general competitive bid for the work in hand. A paving firm represented in town this week by its officials suggested that 14 cents a square foot be a fair charge for the Los Angeles street work. These figures are too high. The price paid for paving in Anaheim two years ago was 12 cents, and we are informed the price in Los Angeles is 10 cents. BIGGS FOUND GUILTY Jury Recommends Life Imprisonment for Montee's Slayer George Biggs was found guilty of murder in the first degree by a jury in the superior court on Tuesday evening, recommending that he be imprisoned for life.

Ina would seem the part of wisdom to include other thoroughfares where paving is now under consideration in a general competitive bid for the work in hand. A paving firm represented in town this week by its officials suggested that 14 cents a square foot be a fair charge for the Los Angeles street work. These figures are too high. The price paid for paving in Anaheim two years ago was 12 cents, and we are informed the price in Los Angeles is 10 cents. If all this street paving is to be done piecemeal, the cost will be high. If we ask competitive bids upon the total amount of paving which will cost in the neighborhood of $70,000, we shall at least have the privilege of choosing between probably a half dozen firms who are anxious to do the work. Let these streets be paved but let us go about it in a business like way and not sign the first contract that is offered for our signature. The outlay will be large. Let the property-holders of Anaheim be given the advantage of a competitive bid upon the work. CLANDINA STREET PAVING The cost for paving Claudina street which was done under the provisions of the Vrooman act was 14 cents per square foot. The cost of paving Center and Los Angeles streets outside the business districts, was 12 cents. This excess cost of work under the Vrooman act, has been held up as a stalking horse by representatives of a certain paving company who seek to obtain signatures to private contracts permitting them to do paving at their own figure. The facts in the case are these: After a certain Los Angeles company had paved two miles of streets in Anaheim at their own figure, without a competitive bid, it took up the matter of paving Claudina street under the Vrooman act. Inasmuch as the paving upon this street was small in amount, no other paving company could have been expected to come here and bid for the work. The first company had done two miles of paving at their own figure and was safe from competition for the Claudina street paving. Therefore only one bid was submitted for the work. What was the result? The Fairchild Company raised its bid from 12 cents to 14 cents. It was not the Vrooman act which made this excess cost necessary, but simply because the paving company had the property-owners on their hip, and slipped one over on Mrs. C. R. Gates and Miss Adelaide Gates are spending several weeks in the Santa Paula mountains. Joe. Griscus and family and John Dickenson and family took in the sights at Long Beach Sunday. Walter K.

Joe Hatfield attained his 48th birthday some days ago, and received among other mementoes of the happy occasion, a gold watch from a brother-in-law in San Francisco.

Word comes from Imperial Valley that the cotton crop is doing well. The plants are a foot above the ground and are looking as fine as silk at the present time. They are enjoying a steady growth that promises to make the cotton yield heavy this year. The government places the condition of the crop in Imperial far ahead of any other district of the United States.

Clarence Trindle who narrowly escaped fatal injuries in a gasoline explosion last week is resting easy at the sanitarium, with improving chances for recovery. Trindle's back and lower limbs were frightfully burned by the burning gasoline and his recovery was at one time despaired of. He has a fighting chance for his life, and his may friends indulge in the hope that he may pull through all right. Juan Verdugo was held in $1500 bail by Judge Howard on Thursday to answer to a charge of grand larceny in the superior court. In default of the dinero, he was locked up in the county jail. Verdugo stole Bert Ryssman's horse and buggy from a hitching post in town one night two months ago. He drove the animal to death. The carcass was found at Watts the following day by Officer Germann. Verdugo was picked up by Germann in China town one night last week. County Clerk Williams has received an initiative petition asking that the voters of the state may have an opportunity to amend the laws so that the death penalty may be abolished. These petitions are being circulated all over the state, and if enough signers are secured the amendment will be placed on the ballot in November. The petition was filed by Margaret D. Taylor.

CITY TO BE INSPECTED The Anaheim Board of Health has begun a vigorous campaign against our most dangerous pests—the fly and the mosquito. Apart from their uncleanness, and far surpassing it in importance, is their menace of germ carrying. Let every known method be employed to rid us of the vermin already in existence. Meanwhile, let us guard against their reproduction by destroying their breeding places. With this end in view, an inspector will shortly make the rounds of our city, and will promptly report to the authorities any locality responsible for either flies or mosquitoes. One ofthe leading papers of Los Angeles recently contained an interesting as well as an amusingly written article descriptive of the fly campaign being waged in Washington. It is a matter for gratification to see the nation's capital taking so strenuous a lead in this line of progress. Los Angeles is endeavoring to follow this splendid example, and has already made considerable showing. Let Anaheim add a similar item of wholesome advertising to her very creditable list. C. S. Hemstreet was a few days ago locked up in the county jail to serve 150 days for selling liquor to a minor, the son of A. W. Everett of Huntington Beach. The offense was committed months ago. Hemstreet was tried in the justice's court, and took an appeal to the superior court. Judge West sentenced him to 150 days in jail and to a fine of $300. Then came a long period for an appeal to the appellate court, where Judge West was upheld. The papers from the upper court recently arrived, but Hemstreet was not on hand to begin serving his sentence. In fact, he seems to have thought the thing had all blown over. ANNOUNCEMENTS H. V.

A man from the island, during his first week of night duty as a Glasgow constable, went into a chemist's shop and expressed frank astonishment at the bewildering array of bottles. "These medicines are ferry numerous—yes, ferry numerous indeed!" "Yes, we have to keep a great many," the chemist said blandly. "Now in Skye, where I come from," the constable went on, "the medicines are not what you might call numerous at all." "No," said the chemist. "How many do you have." "Julist two. There is tar for the sheep and whisky for the people." Mrs. Walter Thompson of Perris, accompanied by her three daughters, Misses Bessie, Fannie and Lelia, spent several days with friends in town the past week. They attended the Sunday school picnic at Balboa on Friday and returned home on Monday. Jack Resh is bewailing his sad and unhappy lot in the loss of ten collars at the laundry.

As Chester Holcomb was turning into Claudina street from Center in his new 40-Kissel car one afternoon the first of the week, he narrowly missed running into a cholo boracho, who was making across the thoroughfare with unsteady gait. Chester turned his machine to keep out of the Mexican's way, but would probably have run over him had not the latter lost his balance and fallen over backwards upon the pavement several feet removed from the point of impact. The cholo was taken to the cooler and Chester proceeded on his way rejoicing. John Dwyer is getting about with a noticeable limp in his left leg, which was sustained some days ago by a kick from a runaway horse. He saw the bronco tearing down the road near his home on West street and sought to stay it in its mad flight. As he was about to grab the halter the horse turned and let fly at him with both hind feet. He side stepped but was not quick enough to miss a vigorous kick in the left leg below the knee. John is a member of the water board and is so used to kicks that he doesn't mind anything like that. Ever played on a phonograph at the most reasonable prices. Demonstration Records at 15c each. Jos.
