Entered at the Anaheim Postoffice as second-class matter. HOLDING UP BOARD OF TRADE Members of the Board of Trade never exhibited better judgment than when on Monday evening they refused to permit themselves to be lined-up by a Los Angeles paving company which sought their endorsement to a proposition favoring giving them all paving to be done here without competition. Mr. Conway, who came here with that end in view, discovered that he was dealing with business men, who desired paving done according to business principles and who stand firmly for competition in all city, as well as other work. The Board of Trade, as a matter of fact, has nothing to do with street paving. That is a matter exclusively under the control of property-owners and municipal authorities. The Board of Trade at its Monday evening meeting so decided and so far from voting in favor of turning this work over to a private company without competition, went squarely on record as favoring open competition for the work. Mr. Conway, in addressing the meeting, said his company could not afford to come to Anaheim and participate in open competition with other companies. "Some of the companies might be irresponsible," he said. "They might give property-owners a lower rate than he could afford and then they might refuse to do the work at all." This is rather begging the question. However, when the members present FARMERS AT SCHOOL Farmers and their wives may now go to school at the University Farm at Davis, as well as their sons. Short courses in farming subjects, lasting from two to seven weeks, and planned for mature and experienced persons actually engaged in the business of farming, are announced by the University of California for the period from September 23 to November 21. This is part of the University's plan, evidenced also in the summer session and the University Extension Department, of making its educational opportunities available for all ages, and not merely for young men and women of the traditional college age. This work at the University Farm will begin with a two-week' course in general agriculture, from September 23 to October 5. Irrigation will be the subject for the first week, with instruction in the laying out of systems, the preparation of land for irrigation, and the construction of ditches and headgates. Soils, fertilizers, farm crops, etc., will be considered in the second week, and the 780 acres of rich land of the University Farm, its alfalfa fields, its pumping and irrigating system, and its varied crops—cereal, vegetable, and fruit—will be used to illustrate the teaching. Dairy farming is the second two-week' course at Davis, from October 7 to 19. This may be taken independently or in succession to the course in general agriculture. The first week will be devoted to teaching the proper sanitary methods for milk production, and laboratory tests for milk, including the use of a Babcock milk tester in testing for butter fat, etc., and the second week to the study of types, breeds, and qualities of dairy cattle, using as material the fine herd of pedigreed Jerseys and Holstelns and the well-equipped dairy barn and creamery.

Mr. Conway, in addressing the meeting, said his company could not afford to come to Anaheim and participate in open competition with other companies. "Some of the companies might be irresponsible," he said. "They might give property-owners a lower rate than he could afford and then they might refuse to do the work at all." This is rather begging the question. However, when the members present went squarely on record as favoring open competition, Mr. Conway finally admitted his company would come here and compete for the work. If this gentleman will come to Anaheim and enter competition for street paving, he will be welcomed as the flowers that bloom in the spring. If he attempts to gain favors for his company at the expense of property-owners, he will meet defeat as sure as the sun shines in the heavens. NO INFORMAL BIDDING When the time shall come for this city to take up the matter of street paving, which now seems due in the near future, there should be no "informal bidding" upon the cost of the undertaking. Such action should be frowned down upon, for it means merely, giving one company the advantage of seeing figures of competing companies, with a possible view of adjusting its rates to the disadvantage of the others. That is not the way to secure cheap and good paving for the property-owners. The project would merely serve to complicate matters, to the end that paving might be indefinitely deferred. Moreover, what guarantee have the people that all paving companies will submit bids under this abused device? None whatever. Why should one particular paving company ask for this? Why does it appear to sidestep a plan of free and open competition to all bidders? Property-owners along Los Angeles street are signing petitions for paving under the Vrooman act. In order to obtain the best figures, the city's trustees should include all other streets which now need paving, and should include the entire frontage in one proposal covering bids for the entire work. That is the way to secure the best offer and the best paving. Let us do this work along business lines. Let us have a full and fair competition from all paving companies. Let there be no "informal bidding" with a prospect of now you see it, and now you don't. ently or in succession to the course in general agriculture. The first week will be devoted to teaching the proper sanitary methods for milk production, and laboratory tests for milk, including the use of a Babcock milk tester in testing for butter fat, etc., and the second week to the study of types, breeds, and qualities of dairy cattle, using as material the fine herd of pedigreed Jerseys and Holsteins and the well-equipped dairy barn and creamery. Animal industry will be the subject from October 21 to November 2, with a week devoted to beef cattle, sheep, and swine, and a week to horses and mules. The farm has fine examples of Hereford and Shorthorn beef cattle, of Poland China, Berkshire, Duroc-Jersey, and Tamworth hogs, of Shropshire, Hampshire, and Southdown sheep, and examples of various types of horses. Horticulture and viticulture will be a separate course, from October 14 to November 2. The first week will be devoted to citrus fruits, the second to deciduous fruits, the third to viticulture. The farm has a raisin vineyard, an experimental vineyard with hundreds of varieties of wine, table, and raisin grapes, and a large orchard containing many varieties of fruit trees. Dairy manufactures will be dealt with in a seven-weeks' course, from October 1 to November 21. No creamery in California has a higher reputation for the excellence of its butter than that of the University Farm. It is splendidly equipped for making butter and cheese on a large practical scale, similar to that of a commercial creamery, and butter and cheese makers have unique opportunity in this course to perfect themselves in the best methods for achieving quality and high prices for their product. The wives and daughters and sisters of the men who come for the courses in animal industry and general agriculture will have a course all of their own in home economics. The particular subject will be sewing and dressmaking. Many women will be enrolled, also, as well as many men, for the course in poultry husbandry; which will extend from September 23 to November 2, with a shorter course, of lectures and demonstrations, from October 17 to 19. Students will be taught approved methods of operating incubators and brooders, and planning and construction of poultry buildings, the dressing and marketing of fowls, and the methods of preventing poultry diseases. Detailed information in regard to these short courses may be obtained by writing to the Hainstein Farm. the second semi-annual deavor rally for this district was held in the Congregational building was taken pacity.

STANTON MAN DE Thomas Long Disappeared Body Found In Thomas Long and wh BATTLESHIP NEVADA The battleship Nevada, now building for the United States, is the limit, the last thing in naval architecture, power and practicability in the world. Admiral Bowles, formerly chief constructor of the Navy Department, who is building the Nevada, says that she will be a greater ship than the Argentine monster which now holds the record for size, but not in power of battery. The Argentine ships have 98 feet beam and as the canal locks are 110 feet, according to Admiral Bowles, they will have only leeway of six feet on each side to get through. It is different with the Nevada. She is 92 feet in beam and that will give her nine feet on each side to make the passage through the locks. He regards that difference as very important. "If," he said, "the United States will keep ahead continuously of the world in shipbuilding and that until it is possible to have armor plate of gold and guns of platinum, the Nevada will be without a peer and probably will hold the lead for the next half century." CHRISTIAN CHURCH NOTES The Long Beach convention of the Christian churches of Southern California began yesterday and continues until August 4th. Rev.

Powell, of the First Christian church of Louisville, Ky., will be the chief speaker of the convention. Mr. Powell is considered the greatest platform orator in the brotherhood. If possible hear him. Sightseer—Why do you call this Aviation Inn?" Rufus—Y' ought t' see the flies around here in summer. SENATOR WORKS UPHELD Local Republicans Endorse His Action in Third Party Matter The following telegram was forwarded Senator John D.

CHRISTIAN ENDEAVOR RALLY Local Junior Society Gets the Banner For Efficiency and Attendance On Sunday afternoon about 50 of the young people of the Presbyterian church went to Buena Park to attend the second semi-annual Christian Endeavor rally for this district. The rally was held in the Congregational church and the building was taxed to its capacity. The theme was "Fresno Convention Echoes." The program was an excellent one, being prepared by Howard E. Gates of this city. W. H. Thomas, one of the most dependable of our Endeavorers, opened the rally with a good praise service. Rev. T. L. Dyer, pastor of the church, led the devotional in a very apt manner. Miss Berkey, president of the SPUDS ARE ON THE MARKET Good Crop This Year but Market is Over-Crowded—Prices Low The crop of potatoes for summer shipment from this vicinity to the East is exceptionally large. Between 900,000 and 1,200,000 pounds of potatoes are sent East daily from the potato districts in this section. Altogether it is estimated that nearly 3000 cars will be shipped this season and the summer yield, including 1000 cars for local consumption, will be nearly twice as large as any previous year. Owing to the high prices which prevailed last year, potato-planting has been more extensive than during any season heretofore, for nearly 16,000 acres were planted. So large is the production that it will be practically impossible to dispose of all of it in the limited space of time which is allotted by Eastern market conditions. The potatoes which are raised for summer shipment are being sent to Texas, Arizona, New Mexico and the Northwest. The shipping season lasts about two months from the middle of June. About the first of August the crops begin to come in from Colorado, Minnesota and portions of the Middle West. The object, as with other vegetable crops from California, is, of course, to get potatoes on the market before the crop from Eastern sections begins to appear. Last year potato prices were high and as a result of this a large amount of planting ensued this year. Potatoes are now selling at 50 cents a hundred pounds, a very low rate. The average returns have been about $180 a car, and at this rate the value of the output marketed in the East will probably be in the neighborhood of half a million dollars. Potatoes are grown in nearly every county in the state and it is said that nearly 60,000 acres have been planted in the northern districts. There are two commercial yields annually, in the sum- SOME SUNNY SQUIBLETS "Mammy, it sez heah dat George Washington's been daid for 112 years." "Doan you believe what's in de paper, chile!

"Jack says Mame treats him like a dog." "Ah, but is the treatment general or particular?" "What do you mean?" "Does she treat him like her dog?" "Ali Baba," said the grand vizier in great excitement, "says he has discovered forty thieves." "All Baba?" echoed the caliph. "What party's candidate is he?"

The rally was held in the Congregational church and the building was taxed to its capacity. The theme was "Fresno Convention Echoes." The program was an excellent one, being prepared by Howard E. Gates of this city. W. H. Thomas, one of the most dependable of our Endeavorers, opened the rally with a good praise service. Rev. T. L. Dyer, pastor of the church, led the devotional in a very apt manner. Miss Berky, president of the Buena Park society, gave a splendid address of welcome, and Irma Mills of the Anaheim society gave a fitting response in a pleasing manner. The efficiency campaign song, "Good, Better, Best," was sung by the Buena Park choir. Howard Gates, the district president, awarded the efficiency banner to our Junior society, having made about 90 per cent increase in efficiency in the last six months. Mr. Gates' remarks were an incentive to us all to do better in each of our societies in the next six months. Miss Eleanora Parker gave one of the most interesting talks of the afternoon, speaking more particularly to the Juniors. Miss Cline of Fullerton spoke on "Missions and Fresno," and then six or eight members who went to Fresno told of the best thing at Fresno as they saw it. Miss Grimshaw read an interesting history of the founding of our Presbyterian society here. The article was very interesting and instructive. Herbert Rankin was there and gave his usual fine talk. He spoke of his part in the convention at Fresno, which was nothing small. The district offered a banner for the society having the greatest gain in efficiency and membership in the last six months, and also the best attendance at the rally. As usual, the Anaheim Juniors won easily and deserve congratulations. Our state president, Arthur Gatter, gave the main address of the day. His talk was very interesting and uplifting. During the afternoon he presented Miss Remington of Fullerton with a C. E. E. pin as a reward for her successful examination. As a whole the rally was all it could be. The weather was ideal, and everything seemed to aid in making the greatest rally of its kind in the southern part of the state. STANTON MAN DROWNED Thomas Long Disappears Mysteriously—Body Found In River Thomas Long and wife and little STANTON MAN DROWNED Thomas Long Disappears Mysteriously—Body Found In River Thomas Long and wife and little daughter left Stanton some weeks ago for a visit to relatives of Mrs. Long at Centralia, Washington. Mr. Long had been in charge of the sub-power station at Stanton for the Pacific Electric Railway Company for more than three years, and he had been granted a leave of absence for three months. Everything went well on the trip until Portland, Ore., was reached. While waiting at the Portland depot for a train to take them to Centralia, Mr. Long walked outside the building and as he did not return in a reasonable length of time, Mrs. Long went to look for him. All of her efforts to locate him were in vain and she reported his strange disappearance to the police, who took up the search. As the officers were unsuccessful in finding the missing man, Mrs. Long telegraphed her relatives at Centralia and they at once came to her assistance, but it was not until eight days later that any trace was found of Mr. Long and on that day his body was found in the Willamette river where it had probably been since the day of his disappearance. YOUR VACATION Come in and have us send you the Gazette on your vacation trip. You can't afford to be without it. It will be by far the most complete map ever published of Orange county, and the fact that it will be made by the county surveyor, J. L. McBride, is evidence that it will be as represented. Views of a great many business houses and dwellings will be scattered throughout the plat book. The maps will be placed in all the chambers of commerce throughout the state, which will be an excellent advertisement for Orange county, as well as being of inestimable value to every one who is fortunate enough to own one of the completed maps. FLEA BEETLE DOES DAMAGE The flea beetle is doing much damage in the bell pepper and tomato seed beds, and growers of those products are having difficulty in making arrangements to get enough plants to put out the desired acreage for the winter crops along the foothill section in this county. The flea beetle has already destroyed many of the seed beds. The insect not only chews the leaves but also the stem, which causes the plant to wilt immediately. County Horticultural Commissioner Bishop has been working on the problem, and advised the use of a tobacco spray. This is working well and where used has stopped the inroads of the beetle. Many of the growers in the Olive, Villa Park and El Modena districts have been compelled to contract elsewhere for plants for setting out for the winter crops. Dobson—Rogers is comparatively rich, isn't he? De Broke—That depends upon whether you use me as a standard of comparison or Carnegie. PATTERSON IRRIGATED FARMS. PATTERSON IRRIGATED FARMS.
