DELAYS OF THE VROOMAN ACT One of the arguments advanced by a representative of a paving company who seeks to do paving in this city by private agreement, is that under provisions of the Vrooman act, several weeks must elapse before paving under those proceedings can begin. This argument is specious and untenable, for the reason that this gentleman admits that if all property-owners do not sign up by private agreement, he will invoke Vrooman act proceedings against those who do not sign. What, then, becomes of the delays of the Vrooman act? If we are to have these delays at all, such as they are, why not have them over with at the start, once and for all? By proceeding under the Vrooman act against property-owners who do not sign, all the expenses of the proceedings will be assessed against these taxpayers. That will impose unnecessarily harsh costs upon them. These costs should be assessed equally against all property-owners, not against a few. It is a dangerous weapon which this gentleman seeks to procure. At Santa Ana some years ago such measures were adopted against a few property-owners who had refused to AN UNEXPECTED WEDDING Fred Middleham and Miss Grace Nelson Are Married It comes as a surprise to everybody in town that Miss Grace Nelson was married on July 20 to Fred Middleham at San Jose. Miss Nelson, with her sister, Miss Christine Nelson, had been visiting in San Jose for several days. The wedding came as a surprise to all, even the high contracting parties' relatives being ignorant of the affair until it was all over. Miss Nelson is well known in Anaheim having attended school in this city for several years, and is popular among a wide circle of friends, who have been charmed by her gracious manner. Mr. Middleham is a young man of promise and is engaged with his father in the contracting business at San Jose. He was formerly a resident of this city and has many friends here who extend congratulations upon the happy event. Mrs. Fred Middleham 'returned to this city Monday and will remain with her parents here for several weeks. The happy couple will make their home in San Jose. STORY HOUR POSTPONED Entertainment and Children's Hour Put Off on Account of Epidemic On account of the prevalence of infantile paralysis in this part of the state, the last story hour of the Anaheim story club which was scheduled for tomorrow, has been indefinitely postponed. The entertainment being arranged for the benefit of the children's department at the library has been postponed for the same reason. The session of the story club held By proceeding under the Vrooman act against property-owners who do not sign, all the expenses of the proceedings will be assessed against these taxpayers. That will impose unnecessarily harsh costs upon them. These costs should be assessed equally against all property-owners, not against a few. It is a dangerous weapon on which this gentleman seeks to procure. At Santa Ana some years ago such measures were adopted against a few property-owners who had refused to sign for paving by private agreement. The cost amounted to 32 cents per square foot, which comes near being absolute confiscation of a man's property. We should tolerate no such business here. Let us pave by provisions of the Vrooman act, and begin the work now. A BRILLIANT PROPOSITION The Associated Chambers of Commerce never before proved their right to be leaders in the work of civic betterment more than at their last week's meeting here, when they voted to urge the supervisors to immediately call a bond election for $1,750,000 for the construction of roads and bridges in Orange county. This action was taken at the suggestion of the retiring president, A. I. Stewart, of Fullerton, who urged that taxpayers of the county no longer wait upon the state highway commission for the construction of a main line through the county, but to go ahead, vote bonds and do the work at the county's expense. Mr. Stewart declared that the state highway commission should be ignored and that the more than a half million dollars coming to this county from the state bond fund, should be passed up, with the result that Orange county property-owners might have an opportunity of being taxed twice for good roads. This is a brilliant proposition in every way characteristic of Mr. Stewart and should meet with instantaneous support—we don't think. When it is considered that surveyors for the state highway commission have already run their line and set grade stakes for the highway through San Diego county; when it is known that the state highway has announced that at its meeting at Sacramento next week it will call for bids for constructing this road, and when it is considered that the state surveyors are now running their line in Orange county and setting grade stakes upon Orange county soil—when these things are known, the purpose of the associated chambers to rush headlong into a bonded indebtedness for constructing Entertainment and Children's Hour Put Off on Account of Epidemic On account of the prevalence of infantile paralysis in this part of the state, the last story hour of the Anaheim story club which was scheduled for tomorrow, has been indefinitely postponed. The entertainment being arranged for the benefit of the children's department at the library has been postponed for the same reason. The session of the story club held last Friday saw the largest number for the season in attendance, 59 girls and 53 boys being present. A large number of older children were present as were also several mothers. A historical story, "Capture of 'Cattle Kate,'" was told. The pantomine of "Old Black Joe," given by Miss Brubaker, was very much enjoyed. Mrs. L. A. Blickenstaff read to the children, "How the Elephant got his Trunk," by Kipling. It was a very enjoyable meeting and the children are all sorry that the hour has to be postponed. CHRISTIAN CHURCH NOTES The convention of the Christian Church at Long Beach was one of the greatest ever in the history of the church in Southern California. Over $170,000 dollars has been raised in the past month for missions in Southern California. The Anaheim congregation has pleaded a dollar per member and expects to better that amount. The Christian churches will establish a college in Southern California, the location of which has not been decided upon by the committee. The registered delegates numbered close to 2,000, which number will be reached before the close of the convention. Do not forget the prayer meeting and Bible study Wednesday evening from 7:30 to 8:30. It is enjoyed by old and young. Come join the happy number. Bible school next Lord's day at 9:45; preaching and communion at 11 A. M. Morning subject, "Consecration," as described by Dr. Torey of Nankin, China. Evening theme, "A Forward Look." Christian Endeavor meeting at 6:30. The public are cordially invited to all of the services. All strangers are made welcome. C. R. Moore, Minister. STANTON INCORPORATION UPHELD Judge West Rules That Proceedings For Establishing Town Were Regular By a decision on a demurrer, Judge West on Friday upheld the validity of the formation of the town of Stanton. In managing their absence, Emily manage the family rank at the corner of North and South. The German-American week completed arranging which it is able to visit travelers that can be seen without further formal entation. It takes place of credit and other forms and makes the attainment by the traveler in foreign simple and easily arrange. I. W. Warren, of Chicago was called to this city for the serious condition of Lucy E. Warren, who stated that the hip bone severe by falling on the stairs is accompanied by his John McGill, and the two with Mrs. Warren's Mitchell, on Kroeger Warren is at the sanitary ing nicely although there so bad that a silver bone be attached to the bone place. The fracture worst of its kind and tends to be congratulated condition of the patient. Miss Margaret Chapman, niece of Hon. C. C., taken to the Anaheim Thursday night and on midnight for acute applause had come on very she did not seem to be Thursday evening. After Dr. Johnston and Dr. Warren upon an immediate open only means of saving life action was needed and had to have one of the worst pendicitis that has been at the sanitarium. Her paired of and the familie encouragement for she at last reports was the surgeons believe that been saved. John Bennett, a recluse 70, was found dead at miles north of Yorba oak man died probably six waking on the floor beside as he was undressing as he was getting up. Cler made an examination and of the remains, said that death was due to Bennett settled upon an estate ground 14 years small house upon it alone up to the time of raised a few chickens and managed to make a self in that way. The side of a hill in an out-country that the man was dead have already run their line and set grade stakes for the highway through San Diego county; when it is known that the state highway has announced that at its meeting at Sacramento next week it will call for bids for constructing this road and when it is considered that the state surveyors are now running their line in Orange county and setting grade stakes upon Orange county soil—when these things are known, the purpose of the associated chambers to rush headlong into a bonded indebtedness for constructing this main highway through the county becomes somewhat of a puzzler. It has been suggested that bonds be called for lateral roads, omitting the main highway through the county, and leaving this for the state commission to construct. But this is hardly feasible, for no bond issue has a possibility of carrying in Orange county at this time with its most important thoroughfare omitted. We might suggest that the Associated Chambers of Commerce possess their souls in patience for a little while longer. We believe the state survey will be made forthwith, and we hope work upon the highway will be in progress in the not distant future. Let us wait until that time and then take up the matter of voting bonds for lateral roads. The Christian Endeavor Society of the Presbyterian church will hold its meetings at 7:30 Sunday evenings instead of at 6:45 during the month of August. These meetings will take the place of the regular Sunday evening preaching service during the month, and allow Pastor F. W. Mitchell to take his vacation. The public is cordially invited to attend and take part in these meetings, which are made very helpful. Miss Wilma Pratt is enjoying a two-weeks' vacation from her duties behind the soda fountain at Heying Bros'. store. STANTON INCORPORATION UPHELD Judge West Rules That Proceedings For Establishing Town Were Regular By a decision on a demurrer, Judge West on Friday upheld the validity of the formation of the town of Stanton. The points at issue were brought up on demurrer, and if there is any appeal it will be upon the judge's ruling, which was that "the demurrer be sustained, with leave to amend within ten days, if he be advised he can amend." The plaintiff in the action was Walter J. Cole, a taxpayer of Stanton. The Board of Supervisors was the defendant. Alleged irregularities in the procedure were set forth as a cause of action. Arguments on the demurrer were heard about two weeks ago. Judge West's decision means that the proceedings of the Board of Supervisors and the records of the county clerk are correct and regular. ANOTHER BICYCLE TAKEN Some miscreant rode off with Lawrence Waller's bicycle some evenings ago when he was in the library. He had left the wheel at the curbing and when he went to go home the wheel was missing. Lawrence bemoaned his sad lot for a few days, and then greatly rejoiced when the wheel was recovered. A resident on East Broadway had found the bicycle in front of his house and had taken it in charge, holding it for its rightful owner. A representative of the Gazette learned of the incident and informed Mr. Waller with the result that that gentleman claimed his property and resolved to leave it alone ne'er more. The theft of bicycles is getting a bit too common and should be put a stop to. IN AND ABOUT THE CITY Clarence Beebe, Earl Crist and Albert Messerschmidt were among the throng at Long Beach Sunday. W. J. Elliott will leave the latter part of this month for a several weeks business trip to South Dakota. John Gunnett has resumed his position at Nagel's after a vacation of several days, caused by having the end of a finger cut off. The finger has not fully healed yet but will be all right soon. Joe Pain was in Los Angeles Sunday searching for his brother, Albert, from whom he has not heard for 11 years. He did not succeed in finding his brother but found a niece whom he had not seen for 23 years. Wm. Chambers is putting the cannery in apple pie condition for beginning the season's operations, which will commence in the near future. The first run will be on tomatoes and will continue for several months, the crop being an unusually good one. Mr. and Mrs. Wm. T. Dumke and six children left the first of the week for Clintonville and later Tilleda, Wis. They expect to be gone a year. During their absence, Emil Dumke will manage the family ranch located at the corner of North and Citron streets. The German-American bank last week completed arrangements under which it is able to issue drafts to travelers that can be cashed abroad without further formality than presentation. It takes the place of letters of credit and other former methods and makes the attainment of money by the traveler in foreign lands a very simple and easily arranged matter.

MRS. W. J. HILL AND FAMILY. BALKED She—"Didn't you say you'd go through fire and water for me?" He—"Yes, but I'm blowed if I'm going through bankruptcy for you!" "Your husband is not looking well tonight, Mrs. Rhymer," "He isn't, and I'm not surprised at it." "No? Has he been overworking himself?" "It isn't that so much; it is his originality. Why, that man is struck by so many original ideas that his mind must be one mass of bruises." "Don't you feel sometimes like you'd like to be a bird?" said Miss Miami Brown, sentimentally. "I specks mebe I wouldn't mind," replied Erastus Pinkley, "if I could be a chicken hawk." ing their absence, Emil Dumke will manage the family ranch located at the corner of North and Citron streets.

Warren, of Cheyenne, Wyo., was called to this city last week by the serious condition of his wife, Mrs. Lucy E. Warren, who suffered a fracture of the hip bone several days ago by falling on the stairs. Mr. Warren is accompanied by his daughter, Mrs. John McGill, and the two are staying with Mrs. Warren's sister, Mrs. Mitchell, on Kroeger street. Mrs. Warren is at the sanitarium and is doing nicely although the fracture was so bad that a silver bone plate had to be attached to the bone to keep it in place. The fracture was one of the worst of its kind and the doctors are to be congratulated upon the good condition of the patient. Miss Margaret Chapman, of Fullerton, niece of Hon. C. C. Chapman, was taken to the Anaheim sanitarium Thursday night and operated on at midnight for acute appendicitis. The attack had come on very suddenly and she did not seem to be very sick until Thursday evening. After consultation Dr. Johnston and Dr. Beebe decided upon an immediate operation as the only means of saving her life. Rapid action was needed and she was found to have one of the worst cases of appendicitis that has been operated upon at the sanitarium. Her life was despaired of and the family given but little encouragement for two days, but she at last reports was improving and the surgeons believe that her life has been saved. John Bennett, a recluse, aged about 70, was found dead at his cabin six miles north of Yorba on Sunday. The man died probably six weeks ago, falling on the floor beside his bed, either as he was undressing to go to bed or as he was getting up. Coroner Winbigler made an examination of the place and of the remains, and is satisfied that death was due to natural causes. Bennett settled upon a piece of government ground 14 years ago, built a small house upon it and lived there alone up to the time of his death. He raised a few chickens, kept a few bees and managed to make a living for himself in that way. The cabin was on the side of a hill in an out-of-the-way place. That the man was dead was discovered AMACK & CALKINS Construction Sups. F. C. SPENCER, Mar Office: I A New Firm with an Old Stock THE FISHER WINE CO. having purchased the stock of the Wm. J.
