TRADE AT HOME MERCHANTS' SLOGAN PEOPLE WHO RETURN FROM LOS ANGELES WITH PACKAGES MAY DO BETTER HERE ONLY METHOD OF BUILDING UP A BUSY COMMUNITY—KEEP MONEY AT HOME A meeting of the Retail Merchants' Association was held Thursday evening at the Library building when new officers were chosen to serve during the ensuing year. M. W. Martenet was elected president, F. A. Yungbluth vice-president, H. M. Adams treasurer. These gentlemen with Frank N. Gibbs and H. A. Dickel constitute the board of directors. Roger Dutton, the present efficient secretary and attorney of the association, was reappointed to the office. A committee consisting of H. A. Dickel, William Falkenstein and W. P. Quarton was appointed to wait upon local newspapers in an endeavor to secure cooperation to discuss Anaheim people from going to Los Angeles to make purchases. "These people are many of them carried upon our books," remarked one of the merchants, "and yet they go to Los Angeles each week to pay cash for articles which they might just as well buy at home for less money. I think that if the newspapers would station reporters at the depot and write items about these people coming home with handles from their shopping tours, it might make interesting reading. I think the practice should be frowned down upon for the good of our city." IN AND ABOUT THE CITY W. P. Quarton transacted business with Los Angeles wholesalers Tuesday. Vic Browning was a visitor in town the first of the week from his Orange-thorpe avenue ranch. The curfew whistle now blows at 8:30 instead of 9 and youths who pay little or no attention to it had better watch out. H. E. Hunt was in town the latter part of the week from his ranch south-west of town. He reported bean harvesting going on in full blast with only a slight check on account of the rain. V. U. Simpson has petitioned for letters of administration on the estate of his wife, Clara A. Simpson, who died on September 29, leaving an estate valued at $7,500. Melrose and Ames are attorneys for the petitioner. Mrs. Kristine Reinhardt, wife of Prof. F. Reinhardt, director of the Concordia Singing Society, has arrived in the city and has opened up a hair-dressing, manicuring and massage parlors at her home, 240 Claudina street. Herman Stern has written several cards to friends in town from Dresden, Germany. He has been away from Anaheim about three months and reports a fine time visiting points of interest in the Fatherland. He is now on his way home and will arrive here in the course of a few weeks. The cannery of the Orange County Preserving Company on the Santa Fe tracks is now in operation and is turning out a good grade of tomatoes. Seventy-five people are employed at the plant. The tomato season opened about September 1 and will last into the latter part of November. P. H. Krick has moved his real estate office from Theodore Roberts' jewelry store to his home on North Los Angeles street. In the space made vacant by his removal, Mr. Roberts has installed a large showcase and is increasing his stock of fine jewery to MILLS MAKEN Democratic Candidate for in town Tuesday mornin his own political publicans, and receive many assurances. Mills is an old-time county, having takenization, when it was a portion of Los Angeles is a man of integrity worthy of the supportzens irrespective of Dr. I. D. Mills but early in life of West, and while time in mining in ticing medicine in number of years. Twe came to California now Orange county the organization o was formed out of Angeles, and at the fthe new county he and public adminisher On his arrival in registered as a priced his profession then entered the mercantile business thirteen years heention to the oil it has been successful efforts. During his residuary quarter of a century Dr. Mills has been off affairs and one and thoughtful intement of his city and watched the product from the time it thousands, and seceily until last year, proximated $25,000 served the cause These people are many of them carried upon our books," remarked one of the merchants, "and yet they go to Los Angeles each week to pay cash for articles which they might just as well buy at home for less money. I think that if the newspapers would station reporters at the depot and write items about these people coming home with bundles from their shopping tours, it might make interesting reading. I think the practice should be frowned down upon for the good of our city. Our merchants are entitled to this business and I think they ought to receive it. They pay license to conduct their business places here, many of them are heavy taxpayers and all contribute much of their time and money to the development and betterment of the community. If these people made an occasional purchase it would not be so bad, but when they continue it in season and out, it is time for us to enter a mild protest. Anaheim has some of the best stocked stores in Southern California and there is no occasion for this insistent travel to Los Angeles on so-called shopping tours." The consensus of opinion seemed to be that while, at times, purchasers may not find high-priced articles of bric-a-brack in town to suit their wants, and thus go to Los Angeles to make such purchases, yet the practice of continually going to that city on shopping expeditions should be desisted from, and much business given local dealers. Let us cut out these Los Angeles shopping tours to the end that we might have a better and more prosperous community. Keep your money at home. It will be dollars in your pocket at the end of the year. Let our merchants be met more than half way. They are entitled to your support and should receive it. Don't go to Los Angeles to trade. Trade at home. That is the slogan by which Anaheim may be built up to a busier and more prosperous city. KITTY IN TROUBLE AGAIN Fires Two Shots at Officers, and Is Landed in County Jail Mrs. Kitty Measor, of Delhi, is in jail again. This time it is for taking a couple of shots at Henry Gastelum, who went to her place with special officers employed to detect the woman in selling liquor if possible. Mrs. Measor has been out on bail for some time awaiting the decision of the appellate court on an appeal, in a case judgment in which was fine and sentence to the county jail. The woman was found guilty and sentenced for selling liquor. Preserving Company on the Santa Fe tracks is now in operation and is turning out a good grade of tomatoes. Seventy-five people are employed at the plant. The tomato season opened about September 1 and will last into the latter part of November. P. H. Krick has moved his real estate office from Thedore Roberts' jewelry store to his home on North Los Angeles street. In the space made vacant by his removal, Mr. Roberts has installed a large showcase and is increasing his stock of fine jewery to keep pace with the advancement of the town. First rainfall of the season began on Thursday, when .20 of an inch fell, according to measurement by Mr. Dickel's gauge. The following day .30 of an inch fell, on Saturday .13 and on Sunday .21, making a total for the storm of .84 inches. Last year the first rain fell on September 29 when .63 of an inch was recorded. The following day .31 fell, making a total for the storm of .94 inches. On December 3, .30 of an inch fell, and thereafter no rain was recorded until March 3. It was the driest winter probably in half a century. Last week's rain did little damage to beans and other crops and with the coming of sunshine, harvesting is proceeding rapidly in all directions.

Houck, a daughter. Mother and child are doing well. MEXICAN AT TARGET PRACTICE As a Result Gets Thirty Days in Jail—Maybe to Whittier Jesus Salas, a young Mexican, who gave his age as 21, but who is believed to be much younger, was arrested by Constable Logan Jackson at Orange Sunday. Salas was enjoying a little target practice with a very cheap revolver near the Chinese houses in that city. He was shooting at insulators on the telephone line. Salas said he was 21, and that he wanted to be sent to the Whittier reform school, where he could learn to talk English well. Had he admitted that he was under age, he would probably have had his wish gratified. Miss Killifer, who was his teacher at the Glassell street school several years ago, said that he gave his age as 12 years and later as 14 years when he attended school. His love for trouble terminated his school career, as he had... Mrs. Kitty Measor, of Delhi, is in jail again. This time it is for taking a couple of shots at Henry Gastelum, who went to her place with special officers employed to detect the woman in selling liquor if possible. Mrs. Measor has been out on bail for some time awaiting the decision of the appellate court on an appeal in a case judgment in which was fine and sentence to the county jail. The woman was found guilty and sentenced for selling liquor. Saturday night an expedition to Mrs. Measor's home was arranged. Deputy Sheriff Law remained in the road. J. B. Ramsey, who has done considerable detective work for the county in detective cases, and his son, Meryl, and two Spaniards, one of them Henry Gastelum, went into the yard. Ramsey and one of the Spaniards hid behind a palm tree. Gastelum and young Ramsey went to the door, and on knocking, Mrs. Measor appeared. Gastelum asked for beer, and the woman replied that she had none to sell. Gastelum insisted. Suddenly Mrs. Measor jerked a revolver from her clothing, and aimed it at Gastelum. She pulled the trigger, and the revolver snapped. Gastelum and Ramsey started to run. Mrs. Measor then fired two shots. J. B. Ramsey pulled his revolver and fired into the air to let the woman know that there were firearms on the side of the visitors. By this time the four men were in flight for the road, where they got into the automobile with Law and went to town, where Gastelum swore to a complaint charging Mrs. Measor with assault with a deadly weapon. Sheriff Ruddock served the warrant, and placed the woman in jail. Miss Killifer, who was his teacher at the Glassell street school several years ago, said that he gave his age as 12 years and later as 14 years when he attended school. His love for trouble terminated his school career, as he had to be expelled. Judge Fullerton sentenced Salas to 30 days in jail, but notified the probation officer to look up the matter of his age, and if possible have him committed to Whittier. NEW VULCANIZING WORKS William Bell Arrives and Thinks He Can Make a Success Here William Bell has arrived in the city from the east and was so impressed by the spirit of progress everywhere apparent that within a week he had rented a building and began making arrangements for the opening of a first-class vulcanizing plant. He has a large shipment of machinery and appliances on the way here from Ohio and will open for business as soon as it arrives and is installed. The plant will be located on Chestnut street just in rear of the Palace stables. Mr. Bell is a German, knows his business from the bottom up, having been in the vulcanizing business for many years at Arkon, Ohio, and will doubtless meet with success in his venture in this city.

Mills, of Santa Ana, Democratic candidate for the Assembly, was in town Tuesday meeting members of his own political party as well as Republicans, and receiving from the latter many assurances of support. Dr. Mills is an old-time resident of Orange county, having taken part in its organization, when it was established out of a portion of Los Angeles county. He is a man of integrity and honor and worthy of the support of all good citizens irrespective of party. Dr. I. D. Mills was born in Illinois, but early in life obeyed the call of the West, and while young spent some time in mining in Colorado; later practicing medicine in Missouri for a number of years. Twenty-six years ago he came to California, locating in what is now Orange county. He assisted in the organization of the county when it was formed out of a part of Los Angeles, and at the first election held by the new county he was chosen coroner and public administrator. On his arrival in this state Dr. Mills registered as a physician, and practiced his profession for a short time, then entered the real estate and later the mercantile business. For the past thirteen years he has devoted his attention to the oil industry in which he has been successful, as in his other efforts. During his residence of more than a quarter of a century in Orange county, Dr. Mills has been at all times a man of affairs and one who took an active and thoughtful interest in the development of his city and county. He has watched the production of the county from the time it was counted in thousands, and seen it increase steadily until last year, when the total approximated $25,000,000. He has observed the cause of this meridian. Come now and join the crowd. One week more of bargains, one week more of joyous shopping. Lay in your winter supply now, save money on your purchases. Fresh Stock, New Goods, Unbroken Lines, and there is a reduction on everything. Outing Flannels, Blankets, Quilts, Underwear, Sweaters, Shoes, Gents' Furnishings, Notions, Corsets, Etc. has been successful, as in his other efforts.

He has watched the production of the county from the time it was counted in the thousands, and seen it increase steadily until last year, when the total approximated $25,000,000. He has observed the cause of this marvelous growth, and the opportunities for further expansion. Withal Dr. Mills is a man of abundant hard, common-sense and one fully alive to the needs of the county. That in the event of his election he will use his best efforts to put these ideas in effect is doubted by no one who knows Dr. Mills, and there are few men in the county who are more widely known and more generally respected than he. Dr. Mills' political announcement will be found in another column and is commended to the perusal of our readers. EAGLE BAR BEING REBUILT Hessel & Hessel Making Radical Changes in the Hart Saloon The West Center street saloon formerly the property of Napoleon Hart and now owned by Joe and Leonard Hessel, who conduct the business under the firm name of Hessel & Hessel, is undergoing a complete transformation this week. The entire front of the building has been taken out and replaced with a front of glass. The door, instead of opening directly on the sidewalk, is set back several feet in a recessed entrance. On one side of this a neat office room is being constructed, and on the other a glass show window will display the high grade imported and domestic liquors handled by this house. The new bar, which is already installed, is one of the finest and costliest in the Southland. It is built of quarter-sawed oak and mahogany, and is backed by three magnificent oval topped French plate mirrors. The inside of the room is being overhaulled and rebuilt and few relics of the old place will be left. "We intend to keep pace with the progress of Anaheim," said one of the proprietors, "and to do that these days a man is compelled to go some." The new proprietors have christened the place the "Eagle Bar," and under that designation it will be known hereafter.
