WASTE OF WATER BY GUN CLUBS MAIN TOPIC ASSOCIATED CHAMBERS OF COMMERCE APPOINT COMMITTEE TO INVESTIGATE DRAIN FAVOR ISSUE OF BONDS FOR GOOD ROADS, AND NAME COMMITTEE TO WORK AT POLLS The Associated Chambers of Commerce at a meeting at Fullerton Wednesday evening inaugurated a movement which may result in some definite action being taken toward preventing the waste of underground waters by the flowing wells of the gun clubs. A committee was appointed to investigate. The meeting also took steps to organize to campaign in the interest of the passage of the proposed $1,270,000 good roads bonds. The enthusiasm displayed indicates that that organization is thoroughly in sympathy with the movement to get better roads in this county, and that every organization affiliated with the association will do its share of boosting for the bonds. W. A. Zimmerman, president of the association, reviewed the situation clearly and forcefully, declaring that it is necessary for this county to carry the bonds and get upon the good roads map. He urged thorough organization for the election. His motion that it be the sense of the Associated Chambers of Commerce that each Chamber of Commerce name district and precinct workers, and that every honorable means be used to carry the handled by consumptives, and that germs are carried East. This foilish attack was reported by the California State Board of Health to be preposterous and unfounded. Eygabroad presented a resolution, which passed, declaring that California fruits are not handled by consumptives, that furits are protected by their skins, dried fruit by sulphuring and generally by boiling before being eaten and that there is no possibility of there being any truth in this man Yake's statement. The resolution stated that California fruits are prepared and shipped in the most scientific manner known to the world. Copies of the resolution are to be sent to the California State Board of Health, Pennsylvania Board of Health, the Meadville, Pa., Chamber of Commerce and D. F. Yake. H. C. Head reported that it would cost about $50 for the organization to incorporate. A. A. Mills moved that the organization proceed to incorporate. A substitute motion carried, making the matter a special order of business for the next meeting, which will be held at Huntington Beach. Secretary Metxgar was instructed to send to the Interstate Commerce Commission a resolution against the suspension of transcontinental terminal rates. An excellent banquet was served. The address of welcome was by Gustave Stern and the response by Charles Eygabroad. Eighty-eight men were present. JACK MEEHAN DIES Prominent Wholesale Butcher, Well Known in Anaheim, Passes Away John E. Meehan died at his home in Orange Thursday, August 29, aged 39 year. Funeral services were held from the residence in Orange Saturday afternoon, Rev. Father Dubbel of this city officiating.

Zimmerman, president of the association, reviewed the situation clearly and forcefully, declaring that it is necessary for this county to carry the bonds and get upon the good roads map. He urged thorough organization for the election. His motion that it be the sense of the Associated Chambers of Commerce that each Chamber of Commerce name district and precinct workers, and that every honorable means be used to carry the bonds, was carried. Workers to head the campaign in the various sections were then selected as follows: John Landell, San Juan Capistrano; H. C. Lawrence, Los Alamitos; B. F. Porter, Orangethorpe; Harvey Swartz, El Toro; Sig Salveson, Brea; Thomas Saine, Olinda; H. C. Bradford, Stanton; Charles Eygabroad, Anaheim; R. D. Richards, Bay City; George Wilcox, Buena Park; Gus Stern, Fullerton; J. A. Knapp, Garden Grove; T. B. Talbert, Huntington Beach; N. Philbrook, Laguna Beach; F. R. Aldrich, La Habra; L. H. Wallace, Newport Beach; F. A. Blake, Orange; A. S. Bradford, Placentia; G. W. Minter, Santa Ana; J. A. Armitage, Sunset Beach; J. S. Rice, Tustin; G. A. Murdock, Westminster. Gustave Stern of Fullerton as chairman of the committee appointed to urge immediate action in the way of a bond proposal for good roads reported that the committee interviewed the highway commission and the board of supervisors, and was present when the supervisors adopted the commission's report. The committee expressed itself as favoring the proposed issue of $1,270,000. J. A. Armitage of Sunset Beach presented a map showing that the beach towns of this county have no direct connecting roads. Any person going by road from one beach town to another must make long detours. He urged that it be the sense of the Associated Chambers that connecting roads be built, and his motion asking the board of supervisors to make a levy of 10 cents upon each $100 for the purpose of building these roads was carried. The great waste of water by gun clubs was again brought forcefully to the attention of the county through an address delivered by R. D. Richards of Bay City. Richards stated that there are 73 gun clubs in this county. Many of them allow their wells, used to supply duck ponds, to flow the year round. He figured that fully 10,000 inches of water is flowing through these wells for no other purpose than the filling of duck ponds. This drain were present. JACK MEEHAN DIES Prominent Wholesale Butcher, Well Known in Anaheim, Passes Away John E. Meehan died at his home in Orange Thursday, August 29, aged 39 year. Funeral services were held from the residence in Orange Saturday afternoon, Rev. Father Dubbel of this city officiating. Ceremonies at the grave were in charge of the Orange Odd Fellows' lodge. Mr. Meehan, popularly known as Jack, was one of the best known butchers in the county, having been engaged in the business for upwards of 20 years. He advanced step by step in the business. Starting as a driver of a country meat wagon, he later became proprietor of a retail market, and for several years past has been an exclusively wholesale meat dealer, supplying retailers in this city and at Orange, where his slaughter pen is located. He leaves an estate valued at upwards of $20,000. Jack was formerly a resident of Anaheim and has many friends here who express sorrow at his death. He had been falling for about three months, suffering from a general breakdown. He leaves a widow to mourn his loss. EARLY MORNING WEDDING Two Young People United in This City—Off For Honeymoon Miss Myrtle Frances Heaston and Frank Paul Borchard were married at St Boniface church in this city some mornings ago, Rev. Dubbel conducting the ceremony. Only the immediate relatives and a few close and personal friends of the bride and bridegroom were present. Mrs. Geo. H. Bushard, sister of the bride, was bridesmaid, and Charles E. Borchard, brother of the bridegroom, was best man. Immediately after the ceremony an inviting wedding breakfast was served, and the newly-wedded pair started on a honeymoon trip, in Mr. Borchard's automobile. Their destination was unknown, but the mother of the bride is authority for the statement that they will be at home to their friends about the middle of September. Mrs. Borchard is a daughter of Mr. and Mrs. John Heaston, of Huntington Beach. She has a charming personality, winning, and holding hosts of friends, wherever known, and has a very wide acquaintanceship all over Orange and Ventura counties. Frank P. Borchard is a son of Casper Borchard, of the Conejo Valley. Through the center court or lightwell is K which, among other stairs closed by order of the visors. It will be a frame stair on the outside with stairs and its appearance will likely California style of building also harmonize with buildings on the expoits. The first floor will be the auditor, treasurer, location of exhibits, admissions information departments. The police and commander of the entire north wall floor; the south wing of the emergency hospital This hospital will be more respectful and will have twelve beds. There will be three floors in the treasurer's department central fire alarm switch floor. The second floor will be devoted to the department, and the south wing to the mechanical, electrical neering departments. The main wing of this floor will be occupied by officers of the chiefs of sculpture, coitions. The third floor will be printing, photograph or color studios. It is expected that this be completed for the fiesta and many of the departed mediately take up their remarkable progress by the Standard American Company in raising their exposition site where installations drill grounds and exhibits are to be located within a period of six dredger "South Bay" by 8000 yards of sand from the site, and at the pre-operation note the locations for had been selected by garrulous states; are practiced the new fill, as these sit in height, visitors to this amount of fill that posited. The contract known The great waste of water by gun clubs was again brought forcefully to the attention of the county through an address delivered by R. D. Richards of Bay City. Richards stated that there are 73 gun clubs in this county. Many of them allow their wells, used to supply duck ponds, to flow the year round. He figured that fully 10,000 inches of water is flowing through these wells for no other purpose than the filling of duck ponds. This drain is gradually lowering the underground supply of water, and making it each year more difficult for the farmers to get water through their pumping plants. He declared that this tremendous waste is doing great damage now, and if allowed to continue will do untold damage to the farming sections of the county. He said that there is a law regulating the capping of wells, but it seems that it is ineffectual for coping with the gun clubs. It seems that the law is so worded that it allows wells to flow "for the propagation of game." It was stated that there is fear that these bodies of fresh water will eventually turn the vicinity into a malarial country. Great hordes of mosquitoes are bred on the ponds. It was decided to make a thorough investigation of the situation, and A. S. Bradford of Placentia, R. D. Richards of Bay City and J. A. Knapp of Garden Grove were named on the committee to make the investigation, and see what remedy can be applied or framed. Charles Egyabroad stated that a man named D. F. Yake of Canneaut Lake, Pa., has distributed in Meadville, Pa., a circular stating that California fruits are dangerous, that they are known, but the mother of the bride is authority for the statement that they will be at home to their friends about the middle of September. Mrs. Borchard is a daughter of Mr. and Mrs. John Heaston, of Huntington Beach. She has a charming personality, winning, and holding hosts of friends, wherever known, and has a very wide acquaintanceship all over Orange and Ventura counties. Frank P. Borchard is a son of Casper Borchard, of the Conejo Valley. He has lived the greater part of his life in Ventura county, coming to Orange county some four years ago. He has shown himself to be an active and energetic young man, and one who makes friends and holds them by his personality. The friends of the happy couple remembered them by many beautiful and useful gifts, but best of all will be their wishes for the happiness of the pair in future life. KRIBBS GIVES PEACE BOND Resident of Fullerton Renders Security For Good Behavior C. W. Kribbs, of Fullerton, charged with threatening the life of F. Claudina, who served thirty days in jail for disturbing the peace and later was again arrested for making threats against Claudina, has given bonds in the sum of two hundred dollars to keep the peace. The bond was signed by A. Henderson, Charles Linebarger and H. C. Head. Kribbs is an old man, apparently quiet and inoffensive. Trouble arose between him and Claudina which ended in a warrant being issued for Kribbs' arrest on a charge of threatening to kill Claudina. FIRST STRUCTURE FOR THE BIG FAIR PLANS COMPLETED FOR SERVICE BUILDING, AND WORK TO BEGIN SOON HARBOR VIEW TO BE SCENE OF EXTENSIVE ARCHITECTURAL OPERATIONS (From the Gazette Correspondent at the Fair Ground.) San Francisco, Sept. 3.—Plans for the Service Building, the first structure to be erected on the Panama-Pacific International Exposition site at Harbor View, have been completed, and within the next week advertisements will be placed for bids for the construction of this important edifice. This structure will be three stories in height and cost in the neighborhood of $60,000.00. It will be 150 feet square, with an interior court of 58 feet by 104 feet. It will face Fillmore street, and will be at least 200 feet west of that thoroughfare. The space between Fillmore street and the portico of the structure will be beautified by gardens, fountain, and other landscape effects. Through the center line of the entire court or lightwell is Francisco street, which, among other streets, has been closed by order of the board of supervisors. It will be a frame structure, covered on the outside with staff and plaster, and its appearance will recall the early California style of architecture. It will also harmonize with the other calities that may elect to join the federation. The object of this corporation is to arrange, supervise and manage a series of target tournaments during an interstate and international shooting festival, to be held in or near San Francisco in connection with the universal exposition of 1915. Tournaments and contests are to be arranged for representatives of the armies and navies of all nations, militia, police and shooting societies from all parts of the globe, and for fire-arms of all descriptions, so as to attract marksmen of all nations. Trophies, medals and cash prizes will be offered of such value that marksmen will be justified in coming from distant lands to take part in the tournament. Suitable ranges will be provided for all contests, and a sufficient number of targets to accommodate number of competitors. San Francisco, California and the whole of the Pacific slope will furnish a large contingent of expert marksmen; among them some who have made world records in competition with the best shots of the world. CRAZED MAN IN PARK William Woolferd Taken Into Custody by A. B. Tiffany at County Park Believing himself to be engaged in the rescue of women and children from a burning building, William Woolferd, a brick mason, was discovered Thursday by A. B. Tiffany, custodian of the County Park, who turned him over to Deputy Sheriff Squires. The man was acting in a manner that indicated an unbalanced mental condition. He was found in the brush shouting and gesticulating, and insisted that he was rescuing burning women and children. Mrs. Tiffany gave him coffee and food and he appeared to be hungry. He thanked her politely, but was soon Through the center line of the entire court or lightwell is Francisco street, which, among other streets, has been closed by order of the board of supervisors. It will be a frame structure, covered on the outside with staff and plaster, and its appearance will recall the early California style of architecture. It will also harmonize with the other buildings on the exposition site. The first floor will be occupied by the auditor, treasurer, railroad installation of exhibits, admissions and concessions, information and telegraph departments. The police department and commander of the guards will occupy the entire north wing on the first floor; the south wing will be used by the emergency hospital department. This hospital will be modern in every respect, and will have seven wards and twelve beds. There will be three fire proof vaults in the treasurer's department, and a central fire alarm switchboard on this floor. The second floor of the north wing will be devoted to the architectural department, and the second floor of the south wing to the engineering, mechanical, electrical and civil engineering departments. The main wing of the building on this floor will be occupied by the director of works and his assistants; also the officers of the advisor and chiefs of sculpture, color and decorations. The third floor will be used for blue printing, photograph department and color studios. It is expected that this building will be completed for the first of the year, and many of the departments will immediately take up their new quarters. Remarkable progress is being made by the Standard American Dredging Company in raising the grade of the exposition site where the state buildings, drill grounds and live stock exhibits are to be located. Within a period of six days the big dredger "South Bay" has pumped 30,000 yards of sand from the bay on to the site, and at the present time many of the signs that were erected to denote the locations for buildings that had been selected by governors of various states, are practically resting on the new fill, as these signs are six feet in height, visitors to the site can judge the amount of fill that has been deposited. The contract known as No. 3, which Within a period of six days the big dredger "South Bay" has pumped 30,000 yards of sand from the bay on to the site, and at the present time many of the signs that were erected to denote the locations for buildings that had been selected by governors of various states, are practically resting on the new fill, as these signs are six feet in height, visitors to the site can judge the amount of fill that has been deposited. The contract known as No. 3, which was let to the Standard American Dredging Company, calls for a filling in of the Presidio lands so that the grade will be two and one-half feet above its former level. The work of filling in that has been in progress on the Harbor View site, west of Webster street, covers an area of 71 acres, and is almost completed. The San Francisco Bridge Company, which has this contract, has pumped nearly a million cubic yards of silt from the bay on to the site, and it is now possible to walk from Webster to Baker streets, whereas before a small boat would have been necessary to cover the distance. A series of target tournaments, interstate, national and international, is to be one of the most powerful attractions of the Panama-Pacific Industrial Exposition, to be held in this city during 1915. The leading shooting societies of California have formed a corporation, under the laws of the state, with a capital of $20,000, known as the International Shooting Festival Association of 1915, to promote the manly art of target shooting in all its branches, establish a federation of all shooting clubs, organizations and associations existing in California or in other lo- SEEKS TO VOID CONTRACT Insufficient Check Causes Suit Over Land, in the Superior Court Suit to make void a contract because a payment on land was not made was brought on Saturday by Chester E. Walley of Los Angeles against Alice A. Billman of Whittier. Miss Billman presented a check at the time the payment was due, and evidently had no intention of defaulting, but the check proved to be insufficient. From a letter written immediately by Walley this deficiency is seized upon to close the contract, on which Miss Billman had paid $500. The complaint states that on May 4, 1911, an agreement was entered into whereby Miss Billman was to purchase lot 7, block 14, Yorba Linda tract, for $2,613.75. She paid down $500, and was to pay $200 each year thereafter. On May 4, 1912, she sent a check drawn on the First National Bank of Whittier for $200. This check was signed by John R. King. Evidently Miss Billman considered the check good. However, it was returned to Walley marked "not sufficient funds." Walley considered that the payment had not been met, and he chose to call the contract at an end and the $500 first paid forfeited. A letter was written to Miss Billman stating that the payment had not been met and that the contract was at an end. The complaint filed here today asks the superior court to declare the contract void, and the title to the land vested in Walley. R. C. Gortner and F. M. Fowler of Los Angeles are attorneys for the plaintiff. THURSDAY, SEPTEMBER 5 FIRST NATIONAL BANK OF ANAHEIM States Depository for the Postal Savings System D.
