REDISTRICTING OF SUPERVISOR LINES BOARD OF TRADE ENDORSES PROJECT—TAKE MATTER UP WITH ASSOCIATED CHAMBERS OFFICERS ELECTED AT REGULAR MEETING OF THE BOARD MONDAY EVENING The regular meeting of the Anaheim Board of Trade was held Monday evening in the large dining room of the Commercial hotel, where a luncheon was discussed previous to the business session. The luncheon began at 6:30 and found 30 members present. The most important matter taken up for discussion was the matter of the redistricting of the county along supervisor lines. A. A. Mills, who was at the taxpayers' meeting a fortnight ago, was appointed to take the matter up with the various boards of trade and chambers of commerce in the county, took the floor in the matter and showed plainly by facts and figures that northern Orange county is not getting a square deal in the matter of payment of taxes and expenditure of tax money. He showed that while there has been Mr. Mills stated that one thing it might be well to take up is the matter of putting local labels on local products instead of allowing big jobbers to put on their labels without mentioning the place where the product was put up and cited canned tomatoes as an example, saying that Los Angeles jobbers use their own labels on local packed tomatoes without saying a word about this city. He said that the proposition of home labels was downed at the last session of the legislature but its supporters were bringing it up again and would fight it out at the next session of the legislature. Secretary Ahlborn announced that as the last meeting of the Associated Chambers of Commerce was to have been held at Thanksgiving and the next one will come on Christmas day, the officers had called a combination meeting to be held in Placentia the evening of December 19. The Placentia ladies have promised a "feed" inferior to none for the occasion. H. M. Adams and J. W. Duckworth were appointed a committee to make arrangements for the Anaheim contingent and take the names of and make arrangements for all that can attend. A communication from the San Bernardino National Orange Show inviting Anaheim to forward a consignment of citrus fruits for exhibition was read, and Mr. Eygabroad was appointed chairman of a committee to take the matter up with the local fruit associations with a view to getting them to send exhibits of Anaheim oranges. Officers of the board for the coming most important matter taken up for discussion was the matter of the redistricting of the county along supervisor lines. A. A. Mills, who was at the taxpayers' meeting a fortnight ago, was appointed to take the matter up with the various boards of trade and chambers of commerce in the county, took the floor in the matter and showed plainly by facts and figures that northern Orange county is not getting a square deal in the matter of payment of taxes and expenditure of tax money. He showed that while there has been an increase of $98,206 in county taxes during the past year, the third supervisorial district has paid $48,167 of that money or 49 per cent of the whole county. He said that during the last four years the increase south of Santa Ana has been 66 per cent and north of Santa Ana, mostly in the third supervisorial district, it has been 166 per cent. This is no doubt due largely to the increase in assessed valuation of property in the oil fields, almost all of which are situated in the third district. This district now contains 31 per cent of the voters of the county and 35 per cent of the assessed valuation, and has only one-fifth of the representation on the board of supervisors. Mr. Mills contends that the county should be redistricted so as to more nearly equalize the number of voters and amount of assessed valuation in the several supervisor districts. In that way northern Orange county will be assured of adequate representation on the governing body of the county and will get its proper proportion of public improvements paid for by county taxes. H. M. Adams then arose and said that while there seemed to be unfairness in the figures, he thought the matter ought to be thoroughly investigated before taking any decided position in the matter. J. F. Ahlborn endorsed Mr. Mills' remarks and said he thought it was a matter to be taken up by the citizens of this section and fought to a finish, and stated that he was very much in favor of taking the matter up at once. J. W. Duckworth, Chas. Eygabroad and J. S. Howard also endorsed Mr. Mills' stand and upon motion a committee of five, J. W. Duckworth, Chas. Eygabroad, A. A. Mills, J. S. Howard and V. U. Simpson, was appointed to investigate the matter and endeavor to have the Associated Chambers of Commerce take the matter up at the next meeting and boost it along. J. W. Duckworth reported that he had been in conference with Paul Shoup of the Pacific Electric and that while he was not at liberty as yet to state what was to be done, it was certain that something in the shape of an electric line for Anaheim was to be the Anaheim contingent and take the names of and make arrangements for all that can attend. A communication from the San Bernardino National Orange Show inviting Anaheim to forward a consignment of citrus fruits for exhibition was read, and Mr. Eygabroad was appointed chairman of a committee to take the matter up with the local fruit associations with a view to getting them to send exhibits of Anaheim oranges. Officers of the board for the coming years were elected as follows: President, Chas. Eygabroad; vice-president, Bird V. Beebe; secretary, J. F. Ahlborn; treasurer, Arthur von Heydekampf; directors, H. M. Adams, J. W. Duckworth, Frank N. Gibbs, F. C. Krause and A. W. Wood. The annual banquet of the board is to be held next month and Chairman Hamler of the banquet committee was instructed to get things ready for the occasion. Mr. Hamler said he was very much in favor of admitting ladies to the board of trade membership and meetings, and added confidentially that they were a great help in preparing banquets. Mr. Duckworth endorsed Mr. Hamler's views in this matter and it was decided to admit ladies to the board if they cared to join and would pay the regular dues. It was announced that the supervisors are preparing to spend the $100,000 recently voted for bridges in putting in concrete bridges over the county, the only wooden bridge being put in being one at Talbert. The Olive bridge will shortly be constructed of reinforced concrete, and that plans and specifications are now being prepared. The matter of sending a telegram to the state highway commission to protest against mandamus proceedings of coast boulevardiers against the inland state highway was brought up by Secretary Ahlborn but as the coast liners had decided after a meeting with the state commission last week to withdraw their objection, it was not deemed necessary to forward the telegram. There being no further business, the meeting adjourned. BANK'S HIGH WATER MARK First National's Resources Tower Over One Million Dollars The financial statement of the First National Bank, which will be found published upon another page of this issue, shows that sterling financial institution to be continuing in its accustomed floodtide of prosperity. President Hartung makes the best report to the controller of currency that has yet been made by the bank and he thereby by the Coast Banks which recently sent road along a coast highway commission some days ago.

Commissioner Igeles, who is in for the commission formation, informed by the state commission coast route a thorough route had been made by the commission through Orange County completed and specified that work upon all roads in this city near future were coincided in with state highway impracticability along the rocky outfall, and when it damus proceeding suit in abandoning part of the state, ed, with credit to future objection action for all, expensive with a mandamus. This action was by people along has been known that the United States would not permit structured along this action would new bridges across basins of the coastal ernment might attach siire to constructibility of carrying port Harbor and an insuperable object Moreover, even if object to such c Chas. Eygabroad, A. A. Mills, J. S. Howard and V. U. Simpson, was appointed to investigate the matter and endeavor to have the Associated Chambers of Commerce take the matter up at the next meeting and boost it along. J. W. Duckworth reported that he had been in conference with Paul Shoup of the Pacific Electric and that while he was not at liberty as yet to state what was to be done, it was certain that something in the shape of an electric line for Anaheim was to be done shortly. The membership committee proposed the names of S. C. Newnes of the Suitorium, and the Fisher Wine Company for membership, and they were unanimously elected. Secretary Ahlborn read a communication from the paper mill company which some weeks ago sought a site near this city, stating that the sewage disposal problem could not very well be handled here and that a site had been selected for the factory near Los Angeles. Exit paper factory. A committee reported that the Southern Pacific Company said it could not see its way clear to grant a one-way round-trip fare to Los Angeles on Tuesdays. A letter was received from the secretary of the Los Angeles Chamber of Commerce stating that a reception for Southern California legislators-elect is to be held in the Chamber of Commerce rooms in Los Angeles, December 19, 20 and 21, and inviting the local board to bring up any matter of importance which the board desired to have taken up at the legislative session in January for discussion at that time. BANK'S HIGH WATER MARK First National's Resources Tower Over One Million Dollars The financial statement of the First National Bank, which will be found published upon another page of this issue, shows that sterling financial institution to be continuing in its accustomed floodtide of prosperity. President Hartung makes the best report to the controller of currency that has yet been made by the bank, and he thereby places it abreast of the strongest financial institutions in Southern California. The bank's total resources mount up to the colossal figures of $1,014,208.90, and its combined deposits total the magnificent sum of $813,042.49. These figures are a very flattering testimonial not only to the efficient management of the bank but of the confidence it enjoys with business men throughout the community. A notable feature of the bank's recent increase in its business is the fact that it is now placed among "roll of honor banks" which designation is applied in the country's financial circles to banks whose deposits exceed its capital stock and undivided profits combined. The First National's position is a credit to its management and to the growing financial interests of the city as well. President Hartung and his associates are entitled to felicitations on the part of their many friends at the bank's setting another high water mark in the annals of local finance.

ANAHEIM GAZE' ANAHEIM, CALIFORNIA, THURSDAY, DECEMBER 12, 1912 BOULEVARDIERS WITHDRAW THREAT COMMITTEE MEETING WITH STATE HIGHWAY COMMISSION HAS GOOD EFFECT NO MANDAMUS PROCEEDINGS TO BE BROUGHT AGAINST THE INLAND ROUTE That the state highway for which $18,000,000 has been voted, will pass through Fullerton and this city along the route originally selected by the state highway commission, and that no mandamus proceedings will be brought by the Coast Boulevard Association, which recently sought to divert the road along the coast line, was the result of a meeting held between a committee of coast liners and the state highway commission at Sacramento some days ago. Coast boulevardiers at a meeting held at Redondo Beach two weeks ago adopted a series of resolutions against plans of the state highway commission to build the road along the inland route, urging that the road be built along the coast line and threatening mandamus proceedings to live along the inland route or in close proximity thereto. Another fact of great importance to Orange county is the decision of the state highway commission to continue the state highway from San Diego to Imperial and thence to Yuma. This insures the ocean-to-ocean highway passing through this county. Efforts of up-valley people to place the ocean-to-ocean highway on a route through that section and by way of Banning and Beaumont, have had little effect with the state highway commission. Construction of the road from San Diego to Yuma indicates the ocean-to-ocean highway will proceed along that line and will pass through this county. This is of signal advantage to us, second only to the coming of the state highway. Engineer Clarke, who surveyed the state highway through this city some weeks ago, is now surveying the line from San Diego to the Arizona boundary. Actual work of construction on the highway in San Diego county is now in progress and work upon the road in Orange county will undoubtedly be taken up early in the new year. HIGH SCHOOL NOTES Huntington Beach Defeated in Tennis Tournament Saturday The Huntington Beach tennis teams were beaten decisively by local high school representatives on the local courts Saturday morning. Total number of points for students' games were Anaheim 21, Huntington Beach 10, the ANAHEIM LADS IN UNCLE SAM'S NAVY BAXTER BOYS RETURN FROM FOUR YEARS' EXPERIENCES IN FAR EAST PRESENT AT SIEGE OF NANKIN, ON CRUISER ALBANY, PROTECTING AMERICAN CONSULATE Three sturdy sons of Mr. and Mrs. T. B. Baxter, of East Broad street, are home from a four years' term of enlistment in the United States navy. They are Oliver, Lee and Henry Baxter, and spent much of the time while in service in the Philippines and Asiatic waters." They were present at the siege of Nankin during the Chinese revolution, being aboard the cruiser Albany, which was sent to that point to protect the United States consulate. They returned from Cavite aboard the transport Thomas and were given honorable discharge aboard the Independent at Mare Island. They returned to their home to find their father, himself a veteran of the Civil War, on his deathbed. A few days after their arrival he passed away. by the Coast Boulevard Association, which recently sought to divert the road along the coast line, was the result of a meeting held between a committee of coast liners and the state highway commission at Sacramento some days ago. Coast boulevardiers at a meeting held at Redondo Beach two weeks ago adopted a series of resolutions against plans of the state highway commission to build the road along the inland route, urging that the road be built along the coast line and threatening mandamus proceedings to prevent its construction along the inland route, a committee was appointed to go to Sacramento and confer with the state highway commission with that end in view. That their mission failed of its purpose, is indicated by advices received here this week, that following the conference, the coast delegates informed the state highway commission that no further objection would be made to the inland route and that no mandamus proceedings will be brought in the courts to prevent such action. Commissioner Darlington, of Los Angeles, who is in charge of operations for the commission in Southern California, informed the committee that the state commission had not given the coast route a thought, that the inland route had been unanimously adopted by the commission, that the survey through Orange county had been completed and specifications made, and that work upon actual construction of the road in this county would begin in the near future. Darlington’s views were coincided in by other members of the state highway commission. When the impracticability of building a road along the rocky coast line was pointed out, and when it was shown that mandamus proceedings would probably result in abandoning all road work in this part of the state, the committee decided, with credit to itself, to withdraw all future objection and to drop once and for all, expensive litigation connected with a mandamus lawsuit. This action was confidently expected by people along the inland route. It has been known for a year or more that the United States government would not permit the road to be constructed along the coast line for such action would necessitate building of bridges across bays and other indentations of the coast line where the government might at some future time desire to construct harbors. The impossibility of carrying the road over Newport Harbor and Balboa forms at once an insuperable obstacle to such action. Moreover, even if government did not object to such course, the great extent and work upon the road in Orange county will undoubtedly be taken up early in the new year. HIGH SCHOOL NOTES Huntington Beach Defeated in Tennis Tournament Saturday The Huntington Beach tennis teams were beaten decisively by local high school representatives on the local courts Saturday morning. Total number of points for students’ games were Anaheim 21, Huntington Beach 10, the Anaheim teams winning 7 out of 10 matches. The Anaheim faculty team took everything and the final score stood Anaheim 13, Huntington Beach 0. The Huntington Beach basketball team evened matters to some extent by defeating the Anaheim team by a 22 to 21 score. The game was hard fought throughout but the Anaheim team was crippled by the captain’s being sick and its opponents nosed out at the finish. This was only a practice game, and not a league game as was stated last week, so Anaheim students don’t feel so badly about it as they might. The Anaheim music department is scheduled to furnish music for the teachers' institute at Santa Ana on Monday, and the orchestra and girls' glee club will be in attendance. The orchestra will play two selections and the glee club will render a like number of songs. Members of the studnet body and faculty are proud to have in the school one who promises to be a genius in the art line. This is Miss Elizabeth Goeren, who recently entered a nationwide contest with a painting and came out in the lead of upwards of 400 other contestants. A few months ago the school arts' league announced a contest in posters, which were to be prepared for Columbus day. Miss Goeren decided to enter the contest and getting an idea from the bas relief on one of the new high school buildings, used that as a center and after making a trip to Los Angeles to see pictures so as to further embellish her central thought, evolved a beautiful poster depicting Columbus on shore with the Indians and with a border of small ships and the corners filled with globes. The picture was sent several weeks ago, and Miss Goeren had almost given up hope of winning, when she last week received a letter informing her that she had won first place out of 400 entries, and also received the prizes, a German silver drawing set and a silver medal. Anaheim high school has turned out leaders in many other lines, and if Miss Goeren keeps on as she has begun a painter of note may be in service in the Philippines and Asiatic waters. They were present at the siege of Nankin during the Chinese revolution, being aboard the cruiser Albany, which was sent to that point to protect the United States consulate. They returned from Cavite aboard the transport Thomas and were given honorable discharge aboard the Independent at Mare Island. They returned to their home to find their father, himself a veteran of the Civil War, on his deathbed. A few days after their arrival he passed away. Speaking for himself and brothers, Oliver Baxter said their four years in the navy had brought them many interesting experiences and had taken them into many strange places in the Far East. The boys enlisted in November, 1908. Oliver was attached to commissary department and proceeded immediately aboard the Buford to Cavite, the trip occupying 29 days, and Christmas day being spent upon the ocean. Arriving at Cavite, he was transferred to the torpedo boat destroyer Barry. He later saw service upon torpedo boat destroyers Baimbridge and Decatur. His brothers were assigned to Albany, which proceeded down the Central American coast to Nicaragua during the insurrection in that country. After remaining at Nicaragua for a time and cruising in home waters, the Albany, in 1910, steamed for Manila. The two boys were assigned to duty in the hospital service. Arriving in the Philippines the two brothers were joined by their elder brother who was assigned to duty on the Albany. They sailed for China and Japan during the Chinese revolution, and during their voyage touched at many points of interest. They visited Yokohama, Kobe, and other Japanese ports, proceeded to Shanghai, and were subsequently at Nankin during the bombardment of that town by rebel forces. The Stars and Stripes offered protection to the American consulate and American citizens residing in the beleaguered city. After the fall of Nankin and the restoration of peace, the Albany proceeded to Vladivostock and later returned to Manila. When near the Chinese port of Chee Foo, the Albany ran upon the rocks, 900 miles distant from Manila. She was floated off with the tide, having sustained slight injury, and was taken to a Chinese dry dock for repairs. During their term of service in the navy, the boys ran across a number of Orange county men. Aboard the Albany was young Dorn of East Anaheim, and on one of the torpedo boats was a lad named Squiers from Fullerton. On other vessels they met men from Santa Ana, Westminster, the San Joaquin First found of this special inaccus-Preslort to was yet bereby of finan-Fornia.

The impos-sibility of carrying the road over Newport Harbor and Balboa forms at once an insuperable obstacle to such action. Moreover, even if government did not object to such course, the great expense of constructing a bridge over these waters, which would have to be met by a county bond issue, places this course out of all consideration. As if were not enough, the impossibility of reaching Laguna Beach over rocky cliffs of the coast line except at enormous expense, would seem to put the matter out of further consideration. The Board of Trade at its meeting on Monday evening had in view dispatching a telegram to the state highway commission and Governor Johnston, protesting against changing the state highway to the coast line, adding that the county had recently voted a bond issue of $1,270,000 for laterals to connect with the state road along the inland route and stating that Anaheim was preparing to pave several miles of streets as a result of the coming of the state highway; but learning of the result of the meeting between the coast boulevardiers and the state highway commission, it was not deemed necessary to use the wire. The Santa Ana Chamber of Commerce last week telegraphed similar advices to the governor and the state highway commission and pointing out the fact that 90 per cent of the people of the county picting Columbus on shore with the Indians and with a border of small ships and the corners filled with globes. The picture was sent several weeks ago, and Miss Goerzen had almost given up hope of winning, when she last week received a letter informing her that she had won first place out of 400 entries, and also received the prizes, a German silver drawing set and a silver medal. Anaheim high school has turned out leaders in many other lines, and if Miss Goerzen keeps on as she has begun, a painter of note may be added to the illustrious list. PYTHIAN'S NEW YEAR'S BALL Society Function Scheduled For Opera House on New Year's Eve The social event of the season will be a grand New Year's military ball to be given at the opera house by Company 26, Uniform Rank, Knights of Pythias. The occasion marks the second anniversary of the installation of the Knights of Pythias lodge here and will be attended by many notables from Los Angeles and other outlying points. Among them will be Brigadier General Royer and his staff in brilliant uniform. The attendance promises to be several hundred and those present will include society ladies and gentlemen from this city and other parts of Orange county. A fine orchestra has been engaged to render dance music and all parties interested are looking forward with anticipations of pleasure to the happy event. Pythians do nothing by halves, and the coming ball promises to be the most delightful society function ever arranged in the city by that order. Albany ran upon the rocks, 900 miles distant from Manila. She was floated off with the tide, having sustained slight injury, and was taken to a Chinese dry dock for repairs. During their term of service in the navy, the boys ran across a number of Orange county men. Aboard the Albany was young Dorn of East Anaheim, and on one of the torpedo boats was a lad named Squiers from Fullerton. On other vessels they met men from Santa Ana, Westminster, the San Joaquin ranch and from other points of Orange county. They were all giving a good account of themselves and were an honor to the nation's service. "We saw many interesting places and our term of enlistment brought us much valuable experience," said Oliver Baxter, "but Anaheim looks pretty good to me. Yes, we had numerous scraps while ashore. We got along very well with enlisted men of all nations, except our cousins, the Britishers, and whenever we met there was a rough house. Who started it? Well, sometimes they would and I guess sometimes we would. Some of them would begin singing a British song which was not to our taste, and then the fun began." "Who got the worst of it?" "Well, we didn't," he replied with a smile. "Whenever we got into a mix-up, it would always follow a little drinking bout and we would always hold the fort. The Britishers withdrew. In all the ports which we visited, Americans seemed to have a cordial welcome. We got along well with everybody except our cousins. I don't know how it hap- NEBER 12, 1912 NUMBER 8 SUM LADS IN THE SAM'S NAVY YS RETURN FROM RRS' EXPERIENCES OF FAR EAST SIEGE OF NANKIN, ALBANY, PROTECT- CAN CONSULATE sons of Mr. and Mrs. T.

Oliver brings with him a number of photographs of places visited while ashore. One of them shows a number of American sailors standing upon the roof of a Chinese pagoda. While this would seem to be in extreme disrespect to the Chinese, no one can tell what a Yankee sailorman will do, in China, especially during an insurrection. Another picture shows a field of Chinese rice, the field being subdivided into tracts 100 feet square. Each is owned by a separate grower and they have no difficulty in showing the height of intensive cultivation. Other pictures are the forts at Chee Foo, bird'seye view of Foo Chow, Catholic church at Chee Foo, Chinese irrigating rice fields from buckets carried depending from sticks over their shoulders, a Chinese bridge over a gorge, and the wireless station at Chee Foo with the Stars and Stripes floating triumphant overhead. BANK'S ONWARD PROGRESS Newly Organized Anaheim National Makes Splendid Financial Showing Opened for business in July of this year, the Anaheim National Bank in its financial statement published in another column, this week shows resources totaling the splendid amount of $170,313.17. Its deposit accounts total the flattering sum of $92,926.09. This is a very handsome showing for this strong financial institution which has not yet completed the first half year of its existence. Since its beginning in July its business has been thriving. OCEAN TO OCEAN ROAD THROUGH THIS CITY ACTION OF STATE COMMISSION ROUTES GREAT HIGHWAY THROUGH THIS COUNTY STATE ROAD WILL CONTINUE SOUTH TO SAN DIEGO, IMPERIAL AND YUMA Orange county has taken no little interest in discussions pertaining to the ocean-to-ocean highway for it believes that road will develop into probably the greatest highway known to the civilized world. Yet it has given more interest of late to the state highway, feeling as it does that building the one will necessarily tend to bring hitherward the other. While facts at hand justify the conclusion that Orange county will have both, yet a year ago the county was not so favorable. Early in the present year the foothill boulevardiers were upon the point of putting Orange county out of all consideration relative to the state road. They were most anxious that the state highway traverse the foothill section leading from Los Newly Organized Anaheim National Makes Splendid Financial Showing Opened for business in July of this year, the Anaheim National Bank in its financial statement published in another column, this week shows resources totaling the splendid amount of $170,313.17. Its deposit accounts total the flattering sum of $92,926.09. This is a very handsome showing for this strong financial institution which has not yet completed the first half year of its existence. Since its beginning in July, its business has steadily progressed which is alike flattering to its sagacious management and the confidence reposed in it by the people. It boasts one of the handsomest banking edifices in the Southland and President Eygabroad and his associates rank with leading and solid men of the community. They are to be congratulated upon their splendid showing and it is not too much to say that the new year holds in store for them a greater degree of success than has so far characterized their efforts, splendid as has been the achievements already accomplished. WALKING WOOLFS IN TOWN Now Taking a 9,000-Mile Hike, Left Kansas City, May 1 Mr. and Mrs. Dwight H. Woolf, commonly known as the "Walking Woolfs," were in town Sunday and Monday and left Tuesday morning for Los Angeles on their way to Portland. Accompanied by their faithful dog, Don, and horse, Dolly, who draws a small cart carrying their camping outfit, they are engaged in a walk from Kansas City, which they left May 1, through Kansas, Colorado, Utah, California, Oregon, and back to Kansas City, a distance of 9,000 miles. They expect to reach their starting point about November 1, 1913. The couple's first walk was made in 1909 for the benefit of Mr. Woolf's health. At the time he was almost a physical wreck, weighing only 107 pounds. Since that time they have taken several walks, varying in length from short distance hikes to 8,000 miles. Mr. Woolf now weighs in the neighborhood of 140 pounds and is robust and healthy. He is a composer as well as a pedestrian and has for sale a song entitled "Take a Walk." He gave a stereopticon lecture of his travels and a violin recital at Fairyland theater Monday night, and was greeted by a large audience. The people pay the expenses of their trip by selling their songs in sheet music form, books of their travels, giving lectures and violin concerts. That these rumors and published maps were irresponsible and unauthorized, was proven at a later date when the state highway commission selected a road through this county. Surveyors were placed in the field and a line run through this city for the road along the inland route. At that time more trouble seemed to intervene. Coast boulevardiers threatened mandamus proceedings seeking to prevent construction of the road along this route. They wished the road constructed along the coast line, and what with their efforts to divert it thither and efforts of the foothill crowd to keep it out of the county altogether, good road boosters hereaway were kept busy early and late. However at a meeting between a committee of the coast line boulevardiers and the state highway commission at Sacramento last week, the former withdrew all objections to the inland route through this county. Simultaneously therewith comes announcement that the state highway commission has authorized the survey of a road from San Diego costward to CHRISTIAN CHURCH NOTES Regular services next Lord's day as follows: Bible school at 9:45; preaching and communion at 11; morning theme: "The Grace of Giving." Evening theme: "Cain and Abel." This is the third sermon on the putting of the Old Testament and the New Testament together. Christian Endeavor meeting at 6:30. The Spiritual interest continues to grow throughout the church in all its departments. Come and add your talent with ours and receive a blessing also. Do not forget the mid-week prayer service and Bible study. A Biblical and homiletical analysis of some book or part of a book of the Bible is given each evening. They are both spiritually and intellectually beneficial to all in attendance. Remember the time, from 7:30 to 8:30 only, every Wednesday evening. Come! We invite you to all the above services; we will try and make you feel at home, whether you are a stranger or not. C. R. MOORE, Minister and Evangelist. Attorney Spencer transacted legal business in Santa Ana on Monday. their efforts to divert it thither and efforts of the foothill crowd to keep it out of the county altogether, good road boosters hereaway were kept busy early and late. However at a meeting between a committee of the coast line boulevardiers and the state highway commission at Sacramento last week, the former withdrew all objections to the inland route through this county. Simultaneously therewith comes announcement that the state highway commission has authorized the survey of a road from San Diego eastward to Imperial county and on to Yuma. That this will become the California portion of the ocean-to-ocean highway is of course apparent at a glance. Orange county thus gets the state highway and the ocean-to-ocean highway at one fell swoop, as it were. Orange county salutes the foothill boulevardiers and the coast line roadsters, and assures them that it will always be happy to have them travel over the state and national highways passing through this county. C. O. Servatius is devoting some of his time to detective work in his toy store, and is trying to keep up with a bunch of little kids who nip toys while looking at the wondrous beauty of his Christmas toy exhibit. The other day he caught a little fellow who had been helping himself to things in general in the store and took him home to his mother with a bit of kindly advice. Mr. Servatius has been annoyed of late by petty pilferers and while he knows the identity of the young kiddos, he will not cause their arrest, but leans to the opinion that their parents should keep them at home.
