HOME FROM SIX MONTHS' TOUR OF EUROPE MR. AND MRS. HERMAN STERN RETURN FROM TRIP TO GERMANY, FRANCE AND ITALY VISIT ART GALLERIES AT DRESDEN, MILAN, MUNICH AND PARIS Mr. and Mrs. Herman Stern returned last Wednesday from a six-months' tour of Europe, glad to get back to their home in the sunniest clime on earth. They visited many of the principal continental cities and devoted much time to an inspection of the noted art galleries in Germany, Italy and France, yet they feel there is no place like California. In speaking of his tour of the continent, Mr. Stern said that while the Old World is far ahead of America in its art galleries and exhibits of priceless paintings, as well as in some other respects, America leads in the activity of its commer- of especial interest. Many hours were spent in this magnificent gallery which is one of the formost in Europe. They saw the place whence Leonardi's painting, Monalisa, had been cut from its frame. The frame had been taken away and another picture substituted. "Where is Monalisa?" asked Mr. Stern of the guide, not intending to be facetious, and forgetting for the nonce, that the picture had been stolen. "Gracious sakes alive!" declared the guide, "If I knew, my fortune would be made." The place on the wall where the picture hung in its frame was painted out, and Mr. and Mrs. Stern saw in memory the priceless painting which is probably lost from the Louvre forever. They visited Les Invalides, and stood at the tomb of the great Napoleon. The most magnificent sarcophagus in the world. The coffin of the dead monarch lies plainly in view. People stand with bared and bowed heads beside the tomb and reflect that here lies the greatest military genius the world ever saw. Some time was spent in a tour of the Grenoble walnut district as well as the orange plantations of Spain. These were found to be inferior to Southern California groves, although the Grenoble walnut is the finest nut in Europe. The orange trees seem to be badly infested with black scale. tour of Europe, glad to get back to their home in the sunniest clime on earth. They visited many of the principal continental cities and devoted much time to an inspection of the noted art galleries in Germany, Italy and France, yet they feel there is no place like California. In speaking of his tour of the continent, Mr. Stern said that while the Old World is far ahead of America in its art galleries and exhibits of priceless paintings, as well as in some other respects, America leads in the activity of its commercial and industrial affairs, in the superiority of its railway service and the energy and spirit exhibited by its people. While the United States leads in these respects, he regards California as the premier state in the Unjon, and Orange county as the gem of all the counties in the Golden State. He did not say which town in Orange county is entitled to the credit of being the top-notcher, but that may be easily guessed, for he is one of the most enthusiastic boosters of Anaheim that we have in our city. Mr. and Mrs. Stern spent much of their time at Coburg, where the former's father resides with his three daughters and two sons. Three sons are in the United States, they being leading residents of Orange county, having resided here for many years past. Mr. and Mrs. Stern were present at the old gentleman's 86th birthday which was celebrated at the family home with great enthusiasm and well wishes for the patriarch's continued good health. "The one regret which the old gentleman expresses," said Mr. Stern, "is that he never made up his mind to visit America. He is now too aged to think of such a trip but he regrets that he did not make up his mind to come here for a visit ten years ago. He has heard so much of this country that he feels he has made a mistake in not coming to visit us here, but I fear it is now too late for him to do so. His family is too well satisfied with their home comforts at Coburg to think of crossing the water and for the present have no intention of so doing. A nephew, Herbert Stern, accompanied us on our way home and is now staying with my brother Jake at his home in Hollywood." Mr. Stern attended school at Coburg where Czar Ferdinand of Bulgaria, who is now thrashing the Turks, was formerly a student. The Bulgar was then known as Prince Ferdinand. Mr. Stern speaks of him in terms of high respect, giving him credit for being a man of high quality and unflinching courage. That his estimate of the value is not in world. The conn of the dead monarch lies plainly in view. People stand with bared and bowed heads beside the tomb and reflect that here lies the greatest military genius the world ever saw. Some time was spent in a tour of the Grenoble walnut district as well as the orange plantations of Spain. These were found to be inferior to Southern California groves, although the Grenoble walnut is the finest nut in Europe. The orange trees seem to be badly infested with black scale. Monaco was visited and a trip made into the famous sporting center of Monte Carlo. Here thousands of people were met, many of them Americans. All were grappling with the tiger of chance and the roulette tables did a flourishing business. Mr. Stern fell a victim to the contagion of gambling permeating Monte Carlo and took a whirl at the roulette tables, coming off with a number of gold pieces to the good. A trip to Monte Carlo without taking a chance at troulette is not to be thought of by the average American traveler. That investment of the Monte Carlo corporation is lucrative may be inferred by the statement to Mr. Stern by one of the stockholders that the corporation last year paid percentages on winnings aggregating 270,000,000 marks. One of the most noted places visited was the palace of King Ludwig of Bavaria, who committed suicide after living in his palatial mansion for a period of 21 days. This palace outrivals that of any monarch in Europe. It is situated on an island in a lake surrounded by forests and lovely ground. Much of the furnishings is of solid gold. The king's bed, his washstand and other appertenances of the bedroom are of solid gold. In the dining room the same splendor obtains, the service being of solid gold. By touching a button, the large dining table rises through the ceiling, after a course is completed and is followed by another table, spread with the next course from the basement. "I do not know that I can describe the wondrous beauties of this Old World palace," said Mr. Stern. "Some times in your dreams you might have dreamt of a palace of splendid magnificence in fairy land. That might give you some idea of the splendor of this monarch's home. It is sure out of sight."

The Bulgar was then known as Prince Ferdinand. Mr. Stern speaks of him in terms of high respect, giving him credit for being a man of high quality and unflinching courage. That his estimate of the ruler is not in error is evidenced by the fact that he is engaged at this moment in sweeping the Moslem out of Europe. Ferdinand is of the house of Albert Edward, Prince Consort to Queen Victoria, and thus bears kinship to King George of England. Among the interesting experiences of the tour were visits to the art galleries at Dresden and Munich. Mr. Stern is himself an art student of a high order of merit and he and his wife spent many hours in these galleries viewing masterpieces of Rembrant, Rubens, and Murillo. He regards the Dresden gallery as the most magnificent in Europe, an opinion shared in by other American travelers who have recently toured Europe. In this gallery may be seen Michael Angelo's masterpiece, "The Madonna," probably the most highly prized painting in Europe, for which 100,000,000 million marks was paid the gallery at Milan. A regiment of soldiers accompanied it on its trip from Italy to Germany. Some weeks were spent in Italy and Switzerland. The galleries of Milan and Florence were visited and at Columbus was born. They also viewed Genoa were in the house in which the house in which Garibaldi first saw the light. Several weeks were spent in France, the Louvre being an object times in your dreams you might have dreamt of a palace of splendid magnificence in fairy land. That might give you some idea of the splendor of this monarch's home. It is sure out of sight." BOYS WIN BASKETBALL GAME Defeat Orange Aggregation by a 40 to 25 Score Saturday The Anaheim boys' basketball team defeated the Orange team in the first league game of the season on the Orange court Saturday by the score of 40 to 25. From all reports some of the Orange players played dirty ball and Clarence Beebe came out of the game with three large bruises on his face where some one had shoved him against a goal post and Arthur Hemmerling received a kick in the pit of the stomach which laid him out for a time and another player had to be substituted. It is such playing as this which ruins a game and it is to the credit of the Anaheim players that they played clean all the way through in spite of what their opponents were doing, and, though handicapped, won fairly by a decisive score. On the same day the Orange girls' team defeated the local girls to the tune of 24 to 4. The Anaheim girls began practice late in the year and to date as a result have not been able to make excellent showing in their games. From the last reports coming to this office the second league game was to have been with Fullerton high yesterday afternoon on the local court. At time of going to press the game was not yet over and the score was not forthcoming. Last Saturday the Fullerton team defeated Huntington Beach to the score of 23 to 20 and it was expected the game yesterday would be a hard-fought contest.

Alexander Henry, who had charge of the east end of Broadway, his territory extending from Los Angeles to Atchison, reported that a majority of his frontage had been signed and others whose signatures had not yet been secured, had signified their willingness to fall in line. He submitted a letter recently received from Superintendent Hitchcock, of theston, price $24,750. Ten acres on South Los Angeles street, by J. D. Lavin, price $12,500. Each of these tracts can be secured by a small cash payment with ample time on the balance at an interest rate of 6 per cent. Judge Howard made an eloquent address in favor of the purchase of the Johnston property. "I feel an interest in this proposition from a double motive," said the judge. "I have always advocated a public park, and the time has arrived when we are compelled to build a new city hall. Anaheim has outgrown the present city building. The officials who are herded in the old building are constantly interrupted by visitors who have to transact business with one or the other. The only thing the old building is suitable for is a jail and the city recorder's court room." The judge favored the purchase of the Johnston block as being close in and on paved streets, and said that the natural increase in value would more than pay the interest. He was in favor, however, of building the hall in the corner and instead of the center as formerly proposed and said that Dr. Johnston would deed the corner lot to the city and hold the balance for security. Charles Eygabroad endorsed the judge's remarks and said he was not in favor of a purchase by private sub- NEW SUPERVISOR DISTRICT LINES FAVORED MEETING CALLED TO DISCUSS IN EQUALITY OF VALUATIONS DEMANDS THIS STEP ASSESSOR SLEEPER PRODUCES FIGURES SHOWING RAISES OF LARGE OWNERS County Assessor James Sleeper, or Santa Ana, and Deputy Assessor R. S. Gregory, of Fullerton, met with fifty taxpayers of this section in Odd Fellows' hall Tuesday afternoon in a meeting called to discuss inequality of assessment in the county. The meeting was called to order by A. A. Mills who stated that J. B. Neff, who was to have been chairman of the meeting, was absent holding farmers' institutes, and called upon A. Pierotti, of Placentia, to take charge of the meeting. This he did and Mr. Mills acted as secretary. The latter gentleman stated the pur- Broadway and Lemon streets were submitted to the Board of Trade Monday evening, but some of them were very discouraging. Alexander Henry, who had charge of the east end of Broadway, his territory extending from Los Angeles to Atchison, reported that a majority of his frontage had been signed and others whose signatures had not yet been secured, had signified their willingness to fall in line. He submitted a letter recently received from Superintendent Hitchcock, of the Santa Fe railroad, stating that an agent of the road would shortly visit Anaheim and investigate the matter of paving the company's frontage. Supplementary to Mr. Henry's report City Engineer Steward made the statement that the Santa Fe official was in town one day last week, and as Mr. Henry was out of town on that day he called at the city hall and announced to the officials there present that the proposed paving met with his approval and the railroad was ready to sign up its frontage. Mr. Henry informed the Gazette Tuesday that since his report other signatures had been secured and he intended working on some of the backward sections. He deplored the attitude of certain residents who ought to be foremost in the movement and were still blocking the work by their refusal to sign. In the absence of C. E. Holcomb, the North Los Angeles street committeeman, H. M. Adams, reported that all of the east side and a portion of the west side of North Los Angeles street had been secured, giving them a majority of the frontage on that thoroughfare. Judge Shanley, representing South Lemon street, reluctantly admitted that he still wanted 500 feet of frontage on his street. He has 2,500 feet on his list, and there are others who will probably eventually fall in line, but they are too dilatory to suit the exuberant spirit of the judge. Sufficient names had been secured, however, he thought, to justify the trustees in beginning work at once. A. W. Wood, who has been working on West Broadway, also reported a number of property owners who had designated their willingness to sign, but were still hanging back and causing unnecessary delay. If all who favored paving would sign up he would perhaps have a majority but the expense account was frightening them. Joseph Fiscus, of South Los Angeles street, was considerably discouraged over his success. A great many property holders in his territory either refused to sign or were hanging fire and he thought it unwise to lose further Gregory, of Fullerton, met with fifty taxpayers of this section in Odd Fellows' hall Tuesday afternoon in a meeting called to discuss inequality of assessment in the county. The meeting was called to order by A. A. Mills who stated that J. B. Neff, who was to have been chairman of the meeting, was absent holding farmers' institutes, and called upon A. Pierotti, of Placentia, to take charge of the meeting. This he did and Mr. Mills acted as secretary. The latter gentleman stated the purpose of the meeting and said that a committee who had investigated assessments over the county was ready to make a report. Assessor Sleeper then took the floor and gave the following speech: Mr. Chairman and Fellow Taxpayers: It seems from the call that was made for this meeting that I am to be made the goat and before you pass judgment on my official acts, while assessor of this county, I ask for a fair trial and want a few minutes of your time to give you facts and figures of what I have done while assessor of this county, at the end of which I will retire and leave you to be the judge of whether I have given all the taxpayers a square deal in all parts of the county where I have been able to equalize valuations. The first year in office, as you know, I had little time in which to do much, but since the first assessment I have placed personal value in all road districts except Fullerton, part of Anaheim, Orange and Olive, and my maps and books are open to any taxpayer who wishes to examine his, or his neighbor's assessment. It was a physical impossibility to get over all the districts in the time which I had, but before next March I will have equalized every district in the county and to the satisfaction of a large majority of the people. I hope. The districts I have been over I have had very little complaiat in regards to the values compared with their neighbors. Some people think I have the fixing of the tax rate and the handing out of all the county money, but if you had seen me pleading with the supervisors to lower the tax rate this year after the auditor had given out to the papers of the county the fact that he had been structured by three or supervisors to figure the rate the same as last year and by my efforts finally got them to cut the rate to $1.45, which is 5 cents lower than last year, and means a saving to the taxpayers of something over $19,000. You will see this next year that your values on your property will be about the same but you will also note the fact that your taxes will be a great deal higher and you might as...

If all who favored paving would sign up he would perhaps have a majority but the expense account was frightening them. Joseph Fiscuus, of South Los Angeles street, was considerably discouraged over his success. A great many property holders in his territory either refused to sign or were hanging fire and he thought it unwise to lose further time attempting to secure signatures and advocated immediate appeal to the Vrooman act. Many of the residents on that street, he said, would prefer paving through that system. H. A. Dickel, who has charge of North Lemon street, was not present, consequently progress on that thoroughfare was not reported, but it is understood that the residents, generally favor the improvement. Judge Shanley's suggestion that no further time be wasted by solicitors and the trustees be requested to begin immediate action under the authority vested in them by the law, met with unanimous approval, and on his motion President Quarton appointed a committee of three to appear before the board at the next meeting and present the request. The committee is composed of Judge Shanley, Alexander Henry and C. E. Holcomb. The selection of a site for a public park and new city hall was one of the principal questions wrestled with. Three sites had been offered for consideration and while the Board of Trade has no power to purchase, its recommendation will probably have influence with the city trustees. The three sites were, half a block in the Deutsch tract, commencing at Lemon and Chartres street, price $13,225; a full block on West Center and Clementine streets, owned by Dr. H. A. John- Chambers last night at Santa Ana for the purpose of preventing the exuberant beachites from capturing the meeting. The next meeting of the board will be held at the Commercial hotel at 6:30 o'clock on Monday, December 9, and a banquet will be one of the adjuncts. PROGRESS AT FULLERTON City Is Preparing to Pave Nine Miles of Its Streets Among the magnificent improvements which have been made at Fullerton recently is the resolve of its enterprising people to pave nine miles of its streets. The city has also in contemplation the construction of a splendid sewer system. The city has recently erected one of the finest group of high school buildings in the state, has voted large sums for the construction of municipal water works system and another large sum for improvement of its streets and construction of bridges. Fullerton is coming to be known as one of the most progressive cities in California. In its splendid purpose to pave nine miles of streets it is setting an excellent example for this city to follow. Members of the Fullerton city council and the road commission, visited Orange on Monday morning to watch the crew of a paving company laying paving on South Glassell street. The road commissioners and trustees are now studying various kinds of paving with a view of selecting that best adapted to their use. The Fullerton men watched the concrete base being laid and examined completed paving. They will go to Orange again when the surface coats are being put down. Those visiting Orange were B. G. Balcomb, E. S. Richman, W. T. Brown, R. S. Gregory, J. A. Fridd and City Engineer W. J. Renshaw. Mr. Sleeper then gave assessment figures of property situated in all sections of the county, showing that there had been an increase all over the county and especially in the oil well districts where land had previously been assessed at ridiculously low figures. He also stated that he had been doing his best since being in office to make every man pay his just taxes and no more and had made many improvements in office methods in the way of making maps, etc., but it had been a physical impossibility to get over the whole county this year and old errors still exist in some sections.

Fifteen members of their family were present and the worthy couple were recipients of congratulations from all. A sumptuous re- past was served and many handsome and valuable gifts were bestowed upon the happy couple. Mr. Boege will be 76 years of age the first of next March. His wedding to Miss Luedke 45 years ago was a society event of the early days, and a large concourse of pioneer residents were present to participate in the festivities. Ten children were born to the couple, all of whom survive and have grown to honored stations in the community. Mr. Boege was known in the early days as one of the most powerful men in the colony. He did a teaming busi- ness between this city and Anaheim Landing and thought nothing of mak- ing a dead lift of 300 pounds. On one occasion Mr. Boldt, a pioneer, had difficulty in moving a 25-gallon cask of wine. Mr. Boege twitted him upon his inability to move it advantageously. A.U.H.S. DEBATING TEAM DEFEATS HOLLYWOOD WALTER SPAETH LANDS FIRST PLACE—HANS STORM COMES IN SECOND LOCAL SCHOOL IN THE RUNNING FOR SOUTHERN CALIFORNIA CHAMPIONSHIP The Anaheim High School debating team composed of Walter Spaeth and Hans Storm, showed its superiority over the Hollywood team composed of Leonard White and Lawrence Mitchell by winning the first debate of the year in the Southern California debating league series. Inasmuch as the Hollywood school has won the championship banner in the league the past two years, not losing a single debate, the Anaheim debaters have especial cause for congratulation on being able to win from them the first debate of the year.

Mr. Boege was known in the early days as one of the most powerful men in the colony. He did a teaming business between this city and Anaheim Landing and thought nothing of making a dead lift of 300 pounds. On one occasion Mr. Boldt, a ploneer, had difficulty in moving a 25-gallon cask of wine. Mr. Boege twitted him upon his inability to move it advantageously. “If you can put it on your shoulder,” said Mr. Boldt, “I will give it to you.” Mr. Boege picked it up, placed it on his shoulder and walked off with it. Then he returned, placed it in its position and saying that while it belonged to him according to Mr. Boldt's promise, he would leave it in possession of that gentleman. For a number of years the worthy couple have lived in their handsome home on West Center street. Mr. Boege is no longer in active business life, having transferred his business to his sons. He says he is as young as ever and looks forward confidently to passing the century mark. He was never ill a day in his life, and never required the services of a physician but once when he dislocated his wrist. May he and his good wife and family live long and continue to prosper. HAD ENJOYABLE TIME NORTH Mr. and Mrs. Herman Dickel Visit Their Sons at University Mr. and Mrs. Herman Dickel returned Saturday from a visit to Berkeley and other up-state points after an absence of 16 days. They visited their sons, Arnold and Percy, who are students at the university and were interested spectators of the Varsity game between Berkeley and Stanford, which resulted in a tie, 3 to 3. Mr. Dickel states the north is prospering. Building is proceeding in San Francisco and Oakland at rapid rate and business seems to be good in all lines. Mr. Dickel attended two football games, one between the two rival universities and the other between All-star Californians and the Australian team. The first was played on a field deep with mud, heavy rains having fallen. Players were begrimed with mud from head to foot and one side could scarcely be discerned from the other. The game resulted in a tie, 3 to 3. The second game was of greater interest. The Californians were ahead until 5 minutes of the close of the game, when the Australians took the ball and by a series of superior plays, defeated the local boys by a decisive team composed of Walter Spaeth and Hans Storm, showed its superiority over the Hollywood team composed of Leonard White and Lawrence Mitchell by winning the first debate of the year in the Southern California debating league series. Inasmuch as the Hollywood school has won the championship banner in the league the past two years, not losing a single debate, the Anaheim debaters have especial cause for congratulation on being able to win from them the first debate of the year. The debate was held in the Hollywood High School building Friday evening. The question was, “Resolved, that American shipping passing through the Panama Canal should be exempt from tolls.” Anaheim boys upheld the affirmative and that they did it well is proven by the markings of the three judges, Spaeth being given three perfect scores of 100 and Storm being marked 93, 95 and 98, securing first and second places for themselves. The total score as given out was Anaheim 206, Hollywood 188. Spaeth has the reputation of being an adverb and split infinitive juggler from away back, having represented the Anaheim school in several county and Southern California league contests and has made an excellent showing in each of them. He is "right there with the goods" every time when it comes to argument and Friday's debate showed him at his best. His reputation is not purely local as is shown by his being elected president of the Southern California league last year. Hans Storm, the other member of the team, is also a debater of experience and note and has been on the platform for Anaheim many times the past three years. He also, is looked upon as one of the best debaters of the county and of Southern California and was a worthy mate to Spaeth at the Hollywood contest. A large part of the praise for Anaheim's victory is due Miss Veda Walker, teacher of English and elocution at the local high school, who has the coaching of debaters in charge. She kept the boys at work and drilling, and they entered the contest fully prepared to do their best. Their entire debates were delivered without the use of a note, making a striking contrast with the Hollywood debaters who used notes all the time and were lost without them, one speaker being confused and, having misplaced his notes, was for a time at a loss how to proceed. A large number of Anaheim rooters were present and under the leadership of "Bill" Webb did creditable work in singing and yelling.

However, based on common practices in historical newspapers, it can be inferred that a response would include a statement about how much effort was put into addressing this issue. Since no such statement is present in this particular page of a newspaper article from 1910 or earlier, it's impossible to provide a complete answer without additional context.
