STREET PAVING READY FOR ACTION PETITIONS TO BE PRESENTED TO BOARD OF TRADE NEXT MONDAY EVENING COMMITTEE WILL LAY MATTER BEFORE CITY TRUSTEES AND ASK QUICK ACTION To the end that Los Angeles street may be paved in time to effect a junction with the state highway through Orange county, petitions bearing the signatures of many property owners on that and other thoroughfares will be presented the board of trade at its regular meeting on Monday evening. These petitions have been in circulation for three months past, and were issued as a result of a citizens' meeting held with the board of trade early in August. They are now ready to be reported back, and at Monday evening's meeting appointment of a committee will be asked for to wait upon the city trustees and request that body to immediately begin preliminary steps city's northern gates while we are engaged in paving is out of the question. To the end that this may not result, the board of trade will on Monday evening appoint a committee to wait upon the city trustees and ask immediate action. The committee will be backed by numerous petitions signed by property owners asking for paving, as well as the entire progressive population of the city. While many property owners on North and South Los Angeles streets are anxious for paving to begin immediately, and are ready to proceed, they feel better rates for the work can be secured by including other thoroughfares now about ready for paving, and to this end express the hope that all will join with them in speedy action. The state highway commission will expend in Orange county more than $600,000 upon the state highway. These people hold that when the state road reaches Anaheim, Los Angeles street will be paved so that the thousands of travelers and sightseers may find an adequate entrance to this city. They hope that when these visitors arrive at our northern city gates, they will not be barred by a closed thoroughfare on account of dilatory action in respect to this great civic improvement. It will require six months to pave Los Angeles street. If preliminaries are begun at this moment. By that time the state highway may be expected to have reached this city. EBELL SOCIETY SUCCESS BAZAAR THREE DAYS OF FUNDED IN THE BUILDING ENGINE GOODLY SUM NETTLE BUILDING LOOKUP Saturday marked the Ebell Society's three days in the Public Library this day record crowdsance and the well decorated library building pre-animated gayety.

CHILD SUSTAINS TWO BROKEN LEGS Collapse of Tank on East Side Narrowly Misses Inflicting Fatal Injury The two-year-old son of A. W. Cavanaugh sustained a fracture of both legs above the knee Tuesday morning at 11 o'clock, by the collapse of a 3000 gallon tank, which had just been filled with water. The tank stood on stilts 14 feet above the ground. The child was playing under it, when his father hearing the timbers cracking and fearing the tank would fall, called to him to run out of harm's way. The little one immediately arose and ran towards his father but was caught by the outer rim of the tank as it fell, pinning him to the ground, breaking both legs as stated and drenching him with water. Mr. Cavanaugh ran at once to the assistance of his child, extricated him from under the debris of the demolished tank and carried him into his home. A physician was hastily summoned who found no other injury. The child will probably recover. Mr. Cavanaugh lives with his family in a house formerly occupied by Madame Mojeska on Placentia road a short distance north of the continuation of East Center street. POPULAR COUPLE MARRIED F. R. Hudson and Miss Laura N. Brown Joined in Wedlock F. R. Hudson, the East Center street photographer, and Miss Laura N. Brown, were married at the home of the bride's parents in Long Beach Tuesday afternoon. Only immediate relatives of the high contracting parties were present. The bride's sister, Mrs. Dr. McClure, acted as bridesmaid and the groom's brother, E. E. Hudson, stood up with him as best man. After the ceremony the newly wedded couple left for a short honeymoon tour. They will make their home in this city and will probably return here the latter part of the week. A few steps away we tea garden presided over McLaughlin, Mrs. Peter A. Johnston and Mr Here the weary and th and rest while enjoying cellent tea, served in style. This was a pop afternoon and evening. A flower booth, where flowers and plants co-was another attractioncomb, Mrs. Owen and the ladies who had charge. An exhibit very pop ladies was found in the booth where all manned that and other thoroughfares will be presented the board of trade at its regular meeting on Monday evening. These petitions have been in circulation for three months past, and were issued as a result of a citizens' meeting held with the board of trade early in August. They are now ready to be reported back, and at Monday evening's meeting appointment of a committee will be asked for to wait upon the city trustees and request that body to immediately begin preliminary steps looking to paving. While it is more important at the moment to pave Los Angeles street than any other thoroughfare, in view of the close approach of the state highway, it is a fact that residents of Lemon and Broadway have made better progress in signing up for paving than have property holders along the first named street. From Sycamore street, where paving of Los Angeles street now ends, property holders on the west side of that thoroughfare as far as North street are a unit in favor of this civic betterment. Along the east side signers are not so numerous, for the reason that a number of non-residents own acreage frontage, and have not yet come to a determination thereto. From Santa Ana street to Broad, the southern city limits, a large number of property holders favor paving, while others holding large acreage frontage are not enthusiastic as to the movement. On Lemon street signatures take in the majority of frontage from Center to South street. Judge Frank Shanley has been actively at work securing signatures and with those already on paper and others in favor of paving, has the bulk of the entire frontage ready for action. The judge has run into an occasional snag, as have circulators of other petitions, but he has steered his course straight ahead with a view eventually to place Lemon street on the map. On North Lemon street large signers are H. Deutsch, Mayor Nebelung, who also signed for his property on South Lemon street, C. E. Holcomb and others. Mr. Holcomb has signed for his entire frontage, from Sycamore street to North, thereby setting an excellent example to other owners who would see the city prosper and go ahead. On Broadway a majority frontage has been signed from Los Angeles street to the eastern city limits. Alexander Henry has been assiduous in his work of circulating a petition on this thoroughfare, and reports splendid success. On West Broadway many have expressed a willingness to sign including a number of large acreage front- age, from Sycamore street to North, thereby setting an excellent example to other owners who would see the city prosper and go ahead. On Broadway a majority frontage has been signed from Los Angeles street to the eastern city limits. Alexander Henry has been assiduous in his work of circulating a petition on this thoroughfare, and reports splendid success. On West Broadway many have expressed a willingness to sign including a number of large acreage frontages, and it is believed paving will be carried to the western city limits. Property owners on a number of other streets have also discussed paving, and more or less progress is reported from all of them. Preliminary to paving, four-inch water pipe mains must be laid on North and South Los Angeles streets as well as along portions of Lemon street. The city trustees are advertising for bids for laying of pipe on Los Angeles street and the work will be pushed forward with all possible dispatch. Work upon the state highway through Orange county will be in progress early in the new year, and it is pointed out that Los Angeles street should be paved to effect a junction with it before the state road is completed. To close Los Angeles street for paving after the state road has been completed in this city, would in the opinion of many progressive citizens be an act of supreme folly. Upon completion of the state road through this city, more than 150 miles of paved and macadam thoroughfare to the north would be opened up for travel. This road will stretch as far north as Santa Barbara county and will be immediately traversed daily by hundreds of automobiles. To stop them at the Brown, were married at the home of the bride's parents in Long Beach Tuesday afternoon. Only immediate relatives of the high contracting parties were present. The bride's sister, Mrs. Dr. McClure, acted as bridesmaid and the groom's brother, E. E. Hudson, stood up with him as best man. After the ceremony the newly wedded couple left for a short honeymoon tour. They will make their home in this city and will probably return here the latter part of the week. Mr. Hudson is a former resident of Long Beach where the acquaintance that has ended so happily was begun. He has lived in Anaheim 18 months and besides making many friends, has built up a profitable photographic business here. After many week-end and mid-week visits to Long Beach he has decided that his income was sufficient for two and as the girl in the case was willing, the wedding ceremony was performed as stated. Miss Brown is a popular member of the younger social set in Long Beach and has a host of friends there who extend congratulations upon the happy event. She graduated from high school recently and has completed a course in the Boynton Normal in Los Angeles. The Gazette extends to the newly married couple best wishes for a long and happy married life, and a cordial welcome to Mrs. Hudson to our beautiful city. A tract of 680 acres of land on the Hellman ranch near Huntington Beach will be plowed for beets to be delivered to the Anaheim sugar factory next year. A contract for plowing the land was this week awarded M. C. Moore, of Huntington Beach. The plowing is to be done with the aid of an engine. and rest while enjoying excellent tea, served in style.

Another feature EBELL SOCIETY SUCCESSFUL BAZAAR THREE DAYS OF FUN AND ENJOYMENT IN THE LIBRARY BUILDING ENDED GOODLY SUM NETTED TO AID IN BUILDING LOCAL CLUB HOUSE Saturday marked the close of the Ebell Society's three days' bazaar held in the Public Library building. On this day record crowds were in attendance and the well decorated rooms in the library building presented a scene of animated gayety. The ladies of the Ebell Society express themselves as being well satisfied with the outcome of the undertaking. All the ladies helping in the project worked together harmoniously and without friction and worked as one big family engaged in a common cause. From a financial point of view the bazaar was a marked success, receipts running over the $700 mark. After all expenses are paid, the net profit resulting to the popular Ebell Society will probably be upwards of large crowds was the nightly supper, served in the board of trade room by the young ladies. The chicken and New England supper on Thursday and Saturday evenings were in charge of Mrs. Kemp and the Spanish supper Friday evening was managed by Mrs. Machleb. These ladies and their helpers did excellently and added much to the success of the bazaar. Last, and also possibly least, of the persons engaged in the active work of earning money for the Ebell ladies, were the little ladies with the button-hole bouquets who saw to it that every man and woman was wearing one of their flowers. A fine line of exhibits was on display in the large northeast room on the main floor of the Library ordinarily used as the childrens' reading room. One of the main exhibits of interest in this department was a large number of Indian relics and souvenirs owned by Mrs. J. T. Hill, of Fullerton. They were secured by Mrs. Hill when she and her husband were conducting a trading store in Oklahoma, from the Comanche and Apache Indians and later other work from the Cheyennes and Arapahoes farther west. Among the articles on display, some of those of note were Navajo rugs, bows and arrows, tobacco pouch, buckskin leggings and moccasins and a buckskin girls' dress, bead work in trinkets and souvenirs and a Kiowa cradle. This exhibit attracted much attention and the articles on display were admired and SLICING OF BEETS ENDED FOR SEASON ANAHEIM SUGAR FACTORY SHUTS DOWN AFTER VERY SUCCESSFUL CAMPAIGN OVER $400,000 PAID TO GROWERS FOR THE SEASON'S BEET CROP The Anaheim Sugar Company's factory just north of the city limits completed the season's beet-slicing operations Sunday morning and at 8 o'clock signified the closing of the campaign by a long blast on the factory's whistle. The season has been a successful one from every point of view and the factory management has expressed itself as being well pleased with the season's operations. The campaign began on August 16 and the mill has not ceased running since that date until Monday evening. Although the slicing of beets ended Sunday morning, it was necessary to keep the plant in operation until the last of the juice was worked up into the library building presented a scene of animated gayety. The ladies of the Ebell Society express themselves as being well satisfied with the outcome of the undertaking. All the ladies helping in the project worked together harmoniously and without friction and worked as one big family engaged in a common cause. From a financial point of view the bazaar was a marked success, receipts running over the $700 mark. After all expenses are paid, the net profit resulting to the popular Ebell Society will probably be upwards of $500. This will apply on the clubhouse to be erected by the society probably in the near future. The rooms in the library building used for the bazaar were beautifully decorated in the society's colors, green and white. The settings were patterned after the usual indoor fair, booths being provided for the sale of various articles and such other entertainments being provided as the fish pond, fortuneteller and tea garden. In the south room of the basement floor was the country store, where could be bought such things as sample sacks of flour, soap, fruit, wafers, ice cream cones, and all sorts of odds and ends too numerous to mention. The ladies presiding over this attraction were Mrs. B. V. Beebe, Mrs. Geo Terry, Mrs. P. R. Carpenter, Miss Lily Zeus and Miss Anna Schumacher. Nearby was the candy booth where fresh homemade sweets were dispensed to the "sweet." This booth was a very popular point during the bazaar and a number of ladies were in charge. Some of these were Mrs. Dr. Parker, Mrs. Renner, Mrs. McCord, Mrs. Swope, Mrs. Marsh and Miss Sejdeman. Another popular place for the young people was the doll booth. Here could be purchased any manner of doll from a little "nigger doll" to a large, well-dressed doll of society. The ladies in charge of this booth were Mrs. Dr. Gifford, Mrs. Boyd and Mrs. Martenet. A few steps away was a Japanese tea garden presided over by Mrs. Wm. McLaughlin, Mrs. Petermann, Mrs. H. A. Johnston and Miss Bell Brown. Here the weary and thirsty might sit and rest while enjoying a cup of excellent tea, served in true Japanese style. This was a popular place both afternoon and evening. A flower booth, where cut and potted flowers and plants could be secured was another attracton. Mrs. C. E. Holcomb, Mrs. Owen and Miss Zeyn were the ladies who had this booth in charge. An exhibit very popular with the ladies was found in the fancy work booth where all manner of handiwork, such as deiling hand bags pillow tops were secured by Mrs. Hin when she and her husband were conducting a trading store in Oklahoma, from the Comanche and Apache Indians and later other work from the Cheyennes and Arapahohes farther west. Among the articles on display, some of those of note were Navajo rugs, bows and arrows, tobacco pouch, buckskin leggings and moccasins and a buckskin girls' dress, bead work in trinkets and souvenirs and a Kiowa cradle. This exhibit attracted much attention and the articles on display were admired and inspected with interest. Mrs. Ida Dutton, of West Anaheim, had several old and rare paintings on exhibition, as well as other old relics such as grandfather clocks, old books and a wall clock made in 1649. A number of pictures brought here by John Hartung upon his return from his recent trip to Germany were of interest and attracted much attention. Miss Margaret Walker had a number of hand painted articles of china on display and these showed excellent workmanship. B. Hartfield also had some excellent painted china on exhibition. Mrs. N. D. Turner and Miss Lucile Turner displayed articles of bead and lace work and rugs from the Philippines, India, North Africa and Egypt, and also a large beaten-brass tray. A large square of painted Tapa cloth made from the paper mulberry tree by Australian natives, owned by Mrs. Harry Dyer, was another article of note. Mrs. Pearson had a number of paintings on the walls and Mrs. Sydmer Ross displayed several Indian articles such as totem pole, drums and shoes. A number of Indian baskets owned by Mrs. F. A. Yungbluth were on display, proved an interesting exhibit, as did also several Alaskan paintings and articles of Alaskan Indian workmanship owned by Mrs. Thomas Dietrich. The Misses Ethel and Lucile Smith occupied one of the most important parts in the display with a large number of beautiful water color paintings, such as landscapes, faces, place cards and Christmas letters. Among the many other articles on display in this room was a large polar bear skin rug valued at $700. The animal from which this skin was taken was killed near Nome, Alaska, by Eskimos, and measured 9 feet 9 inches from his nose to the tip of his tail. The rug was sent to Mrs. Bert Annin of Fullerton by her brother, George Starks, who has been in Alaska for 15 years. The rug was large and beautiful and attracted much attention. The baby show Saturday afternoon was an important feature of the bazaar. Mrs. Pearson had this attraction in by a long blast on the factory's whistle. The season has been a successful one from every point of view and the factory management has expressed itself as being well pleased with the season's operations. The campaign began on August 16 and the mill has not ceased running since that date until Monday evening. Although the slicing of beets ended Sunday morning, it was necessary to keep the plant in operation until the last of the juice was worked up into sugar, and this was completed late Monday evening. The factory has been in operation 96 days and in that time has sliced 64,000 tons of sugar beets, 11,000 tons more than last year, when only 53,000 tons were handled. The output of sugar this season is 175,000 bags of 100 pounds each, making a total of 17,500,000 pounds of refined sugar. The average number of beets sliced per day was about 650 tons. The capacity of the mill is now 800 tons daily and this was made on several days during the campaign. Beets came in plentifully except during the first week of the campaign when they came in rather slowly; 70,000 bags of dried pulp have been made and all been sold to dalrymen in the state. There is a great demand for this product of the sugar factory and 100,000 bags more could have been easily disposed of. Two hundred and forty men have been employed in the operation of the mill and the monthly payroll has averaged in the neighborhood of $20,000. Now that the season is ended the majority of these men have been dismissed, but a force of 50 men will be kept on duty for upwards of two months, overhauling the entire plant and getting ready for next season's operations. If, as may be case, the sugar company decides to increase the capacity of the mill, a larger force will be added later to this number. It has been determined by those in authority not to run an osmosse campaign for the purpose of working up the molasses into brown sugar, for with the amount on hand, it can be disposed of to better advantage in other ways. Some of the molasses has been mixed with the dried pulp and there is not such a great amount left. Besides the payroll of the sugar company which has amounted during the year to upwards of $100,000, a large part of which has been spent, or will be spent in this city, growers have paid almost $150,000 for labor during the year and a large part of this money finds its way into Anaheim trade channels, showing the factory is benefiting local business houses to a very great extent. Growers received $400,000 for their beets this year and this also helps and rest while enjoying a cup of excellent tea, served in true Japanese style. This was a popular place both afternoon and evening. A flower booth, where cut and potted flowers and plants could be secured was another attraction. Mrs. C. E. Holcomb, Mrs. Owen and Miss Zeyn were the ladies who had this booth in charge. An exhibit very popular with the ladies was found in the fancy work booth where all manner of handiwork, such as doilies, hand bags, pillow tops, etc., could be obtained at reasonable prices. The ladies dispensing these articles were Mrs. Lewis, Mrs. J. J. Schneider, Mrs. A. H. Witman, Miss Marie Rimpau and Miss Sophia Rimpau. An apron booth attracted large crowds and over two hundred aprons were sold by the ladies in charge. Many of the aprons were made by students in the local grammar and high schools and were very neat and pretty. Ladies selling aprons were Mrs. Spencer, Mrs. J. L. Beebe, Mrs. Eygabroad and Mrs. Quarton. Especial thanks are extended the girls of the sewing classes for their valuable aid in making aprons for sale at this booth. Many were interested in the "fish pond" and the ladies in charge, Mrs. Chamberlain, Misses Alma and Lizzie Yoern and Miss Frances Day were kept busy getting bait ready and assisting the fishermen in landing a good catch. Mrs. Frank Morse as a fortuneteller proved an attraction of note and many people were by her aid enabled to look into the future and foresee coming events. As a medium of forecasting the future she used both palmistry and cards. Another feature which attracted display in this room was a large polar bear skin rug valued at $700. The animal from which this skin was taken was killed near Nome, Alaska, by Eskimos, and measured 9 feet 9 inches from his nose to the tip of his tail. The rug was sent to Mrs. Bert Annin of Fullerton by her brother, George Starks, who has been in Alaska for 15 years. The rug was large and beautiful and attracted much attention. The baby show Saturday afternoon was an important feature of the bazaar. Mrs. Pearson had this attraction in charge and reports 67 entries, and 36 prizes awarded. A prize was given to the oldest mother, 43 years old, and one to the youngest, 17 years old. The judges were I. J. Thompson and J. L. Cardan of Santa Ana and Miss Smythe of Los Angeles. Mrs. Pearson and her assistants desire through the columns of the Gazette to extend grateful thanks to the merchants who gave prizes for this baby show and thus made it possible for it to be held. Musical and literary entertainments were provided each evening as follows: Thursday evening the high school orchestra, directed by Mrs. E. M. Bartlett, gave several selections, and the same evening a mixed quartet composed of E. E. Angell, Geo. M. Ross, Miss Lillian Balfour and Miss Nellie Look rendered several beautiful songs. Prof. Henry Tiedeman and Miss Tiedeman entertained the assemblage Friday evening with piano and cornet duets beautifully rendered. This was a treat to all and that it was appreciated was shown by the long, continued applause. Vocal solos by Miss Nellie Look and Mrs. E. H. Cook were also given and much enjoyed. Miss Veda Walker, teacher of elocution in the high school, gave several delightful Besides the payroll of the sugar company which has amounted during the year to upwards of $100,000, a large part of which has been spent, or will be spent in this city, growers have paid almost $150,000 for labor during the year and a large part of this money finds its way into Anaheim trade channels, showing the factory is benefiting local business houses to a very great extent. Growers received $400,000 for their beets this year and this also helps in building up Anaheim trade. Altogether the sugar factory has aided much in the upbuilding of this city and deserves the support of all public spirited citizens hereabouts. While there has been some complaint on account of waste water and readings Saturday evening and completed the three nights' enjoyable programs. The committee in charge of the bazaar, Mrs. E. E. Angell, Mrs. W. S. Tipton, Mrs.Wm.Schumacher, Mrs.G.W. Clossen and Mrs.Dr.Gifford, deserves credit for the manner in which the bazaar was worked out and it was largely due to these ladies' untiring efforts that it was such a decided success. Everyone "got in the swim" and worked for the Ebell Society and the ladies of this club desire to extend thanks to all for the generous help given them in their undertaking. Two mothers of prize-winning babies forgot to take the prizes with them and they were left in the library building. Those two ladies holding cards No. 10 in class C and No. 24 in class C may receive the prizes due them upon application and presentation of card to Mrs.A.C.Pearson at 1009 West Center street. AHLBORN IS ENDORSED FOR POSTMASTER AWAY IN LEAD AT GETAWAY OF BUNCH OF CANDIDATES FOR PLUM TREE LOCAL COMMITTEEMEN VOTE TO SUPPORT HIM IN CANDIDACY Among the various candidates for Postmaster Duckworth's job, none have more reason for political joy than have supporters of J. F. Ahlborn, who on Saturday afternoon was endorsed for the position by local members of the Democratic county central committee. A meeting of these committeemen was held at Odd Fellows' hall on Saturday afternoon, and after considering names of various candidates they voted unanimously to support the energetic secretary of the Board of Trade for the position. Those present at the meeting were Henry M. Adams, H. J. Westerman and G. J. Stock of this city, Eli Sparks of West Anaheim, and A. E. Griggs of East Anaheim, C. E. Jones, committeeman for the second precinct. Dr. Hyde, a professor at the University of California and consulting engineer of the state board of health, was brought to this city at the expense of the sugar company and called by telegram from a trip in the East so as to get here before the season closed, to investigate the sewage problem. This gentleman was in town Thursday and Friday and made a thorough inspection of the factory and grounds and also interviewed people in the neighborhood, hearing both pro and con of the wastewater problem, with a view to disposing of the matter once for all. Upon leaving for the north the last of the week, Dr. Hyde said he had four plans in mind for the satisfactory disposal of the odor therefrom, this was not due to any fault of the sugar company officials and they should not be censured for this, as they were doing all in their power to remedy the condition existing. Wm. McLaughlin, vice-president of the company, has been in almost daily attendance at the factory and has been doing all in his power to dispose of the waste water satisfactorily to all concerned. Dr. Murke, also, has been an interested student of the water-disposal problem. These two gentlemen informed a Gazette representative Monday that several ranchmen have been using factory waste water exclusively, although owning pumping plants of their own, and they will not run their own plants, so long as the factory water is forthcoming, saying that they prefer the factory water for irrigation. Among the various candidates for Postmaster Duckworth's job, none have more reason for political joy than have supporters of J. F.

Of beets ended was necessary to operation until the workup into the completed late factory has been and in that time of sugar beets, last year, when he handled. The season is 175,000 each, making a total of refined number of beets out 650 tons. The is now 800 tons made on several sign. Beets came during the first when they came 100 bags of dried and has all been the state. There is this product of the 20,000 bags more disposed of.

Upon leaving for the north the last of the week, Dr. Hyde said he had four plans in mind for the satisfactory disposal of the factory's waste water and would make out one of them and present it to the sugar company for action in the near future. Factory officials have promised that the factory will not be opened for another run until this problem is disposed of, and kickerists might as well quit their howling at once for the sewage problem will be settled before the next campaign is begun. At last reports, over 6000 acres have been signed up by the sugar factory for planting to beets next season and a very successful season is confidently looked forward to. NO CONTEST YET IN SUPERVISOR FIGHT Brunworth Has Under Consideration Taking Matter Into Court John Brunworth, Democratic candidate for supervisor in the Third district, said yesterday that he would probably bring an action in the superior court contesting the election of Wm. Schumacher of Buena Park, Republican candidate to the office. Brunworth has been in consultation with his attorney, Horace Head, of Santa Ana, and it is understood proceedings will be filed in court this week. Schumacher led Brunworth by two votes in the recent election in a poll standing Schumacher 1605, Brunworth 1603. The election was stubbornly fought out and was the closest ever held in the district. Schumacher will resist a contest for his office. He has employed R. Y. Williams, of Santa Ana, to appear for him in court should a contest be brought. MRS. COONS STILL IN RACE Will Be in at Finish Despite Action of Committeemen A rumor prevailed this week that following action of local committees, Mrs. Coons had decided to retire from the contest for postmaster. This she denies, and says she intends to be for the position by local members of the Democratic county central committee. A meeting of these committees was held at Odd Fellows' hall on Saturday afternoon, and after considering names of various candidates they voted unanimously to support the energetic secretary of the Board of Trade for the position. Those present at the meeting were Henry M. Adams, H. J. Westerman and G. J. Stock of this city, Eli Sparks of West Anaheim, and A. E. Griggs of East Anaheim, C. E. Jones, committeeman for the second precinct, was not present, being absent on mining business at Victorville. A number of leading Democrats were present among them J. J. Schneider, who announced he was not a candidate for the place. Mr. Schneider is a Jeffersonian Democrat who believes in the doctrine that to the victors belongs the spoils, and it is believed that if he could take into the postoffice with him a corps of subordinates to his political way of thinking, answerable to him and not to the civil service commission, he would prove a formidable factor in the running. Among other candidates for the post-office the names of Mrs. Ella Coons, who lives northeast of town in Orange-thorpe precinct, and J. W. Wallop of this city are mentioned. Each has strong support and is backed by many personal and political friends. A number of others have also been suggested as candidates for the position but have not yet definitely announced their purpose of entering the race. Action of the committees at Saturday's meeting puts Ahlborn in strong position, for the county central committee as a body will probably endorse their selection. Should this prove to be the case, Congressman Kettner would undoubtedly recommend him to the president, and his nomination would naturally follow. This is the usual method of procedure in federal appointments. The county central committee, being the party's governing body, will have referred to it all contests for postmaster, and these promises to be a number of them. Local committees will be called upon for endorsement of local candidates, and when such action is unanimous as in the present case, the entire county committee will acquiesce in their finding. With such endorsement before him, Kettner will undoubtedly name Ahlborn. Ahlborn is thus safely ahead as he nears the quarter pole in the great sweepstake race. Should the county committee endorse Saturday's action, he will be away ahead at the half. With Kettner's O.K., he will pass the three-quarters with nobody else in MRS. COONS STILL IN RACE Will Be in at Finish Despite Action of Committeemen A rumor prevailed this week that following action of local committeemen, Mrs. Coons had decided to retire from the contest for postmaster. This she denies, and says she intends to be in at the finish. She has been in correspondence with Congressman Kettner and states that gentleman will shortly be in Anaheim to look over the troubled waters. Mrs. Coons says she hears there are 14 aspirants for the postmaster's job. CAUSE OF HIGH TAXES Meeting Will Consider Subject at Odd Fellows' Hall Next Tuesday A public meeting to talk over the enormous and unequal raise in taxes will be held in Odd Fellows' hall on Tuesday, November 26, 1912, at 2 P.M. in Anaheim. The committee is having maps made, showing in detail both the increase and the inequality. All taxpayers are cordially and earnestly requested to be present. Bring along your tax notices for this year and last. (Signed) A. A. MILLS, S. S. TWOMBLY, ARTHUR STALEY. Mr. and Mrs. John Hartung and Mr. and Mrs. E. J. Hartung motored to Ocean Park on Sunday, and spent the day at the beach. Ahlborn is thus safely ahead as he nears the quarter pole in the great sweepstake race. Should the county committee endorse Saturday's action, he will be away ahead at the half. With Kettner's O.K., he will pass the three-quarters with nobody else in sight, and if he maintains his gait, barring unforeseen complications, he will pass under the wire a winner, and write "postmaster" after his name sometime in 1914. Postmaster Duckworth is an interested onlooker, but says he does not intend to give up his position until his term is out which runs for nearly two years. He has powerful political backing at home and in Washington, and may upset all the prognostications of Democratic sagamores and medicine men. There are not wanting many leading citizens who would like to see him retain his office and a concerted movement will probably be made to bring to the attention of the incoming president his splendid efficiency during the two terms of his office. Duckworth's record as postmaster is second to that of no one in the state, and his friends declare he will have powerful backing in Washington when appointment of a successor is up for consideration. J. W. Sackett was in town Tuesday morning from his ranch in the west end. Mr. Sackett has gathered a bumper walnut crop, irrigated his land, sown it to vetch and is now waiting for the weather clerk to turn on rain.
