Entered at the Anaheim Postoffice as second-class matter. TO SEPARATE WOULD BE FOLLY We give Mr. Chapman and his associates who would segregate oil from water stock in the Anaheim Union Water Company credit for being actuated by honorable motives, yet we feel that to segregate this stock would be irretrievable folly. We have seen so much manipulation of oil shares in Southern California recently that we very greatly doubt the propriety of forming a new oil company based upon the rich oil lands held by the water company. The recent absorption of the Union Oil Company, one of the strongest corporations in the State, by a syndicate of capitalists who pounded down its market value from $135 to $90, furnishes a case in point. There are even now indications that the Standard Oil will in the near future control all the oil companies, or nearly all of them, in Orange county. Ho wlong would it take this giant corporation to acquire control of this proposed oil company with only 8,000 shares of stock issued? We are fearful that if separation ensued, this stock may be pounded down as was Union Oil stock. We believe control of this oil company could be secured at an expense of less than $400,000. If control be secured by this giant corporation, stockholders may be subject to manipulation which may in the end freeze sentative and had many friends throughout the district who deeply regret his untimely end. GNAWING A FILE Our truly good friend, Dr. Samuel Armor, of the Orange Post, continues to gnaw a file relative to the recent good roads bond issue. He writes to an esteemed local contemporary to say that the editor of the Gazette once informed him that good roads bonds in this county would never receive the sanction of this newspaper. We recall making no such statement to our Orange friend. We said to him more than five years ago that the policy of this paper would be antagonistic to a road bond issue so long as this part of the county was not properly taken care of. When the third supervisor district, polling more than a third of the votes of the entire county, was about to be allowed 10 per cent of good roads mileage, we declared we would never support such a bond issue. Again, when the State bond issue had been called, we opposed a local bond issue until such time as the State question could be settled at the polls. But that the editor of the Gazette said he would never support a good roads bond issue in this county—that Dr. Armor cannot truthfully say. DON'T COME If you are afraid you will be bored to death and have a miserable time at the debate between Anaheim and Whittier high schools at the high school auditorium Friday evening, don't dare show your face about the premises. But if you want to hear one of the best debates ever held in Anaheim you will be welcomed, and your little dim admission token to help pay nearly all of them, in Orange county. Ho wlong would it take this giant corporation to acquire control of this proposed oil company with only 8,000 shares of stock issued? We are fearful that if separation ensued, this stock may be pounded down as was Union Oil stock. We believe control of this oil company could be secured at an expense of less than $400,000. If control be secured by this giant corporation, stockholders may be subject to manipulation which may in the end freeze them out to a frazzle. The water company's oil lands are worth millions, and should be held intact to pay off the company's indebtedness. We do not believe in extravagance by the water board, nor do we believe the board has been extravagant since coming into possession of its large royalties from oil. These royalties will mount into hundreds of thousands of dollars in the years to come. They will be sufficient to pay off the company's indebtedness entirely, and to make permanent betterments of which the company is now in need. Men now at the head of the water company are among the best in the community, and we should trust to them to see to it that its oil fields are properly managed. Let stock remain as at present indissolubly joined and let us have no fear that the company's rich oil properties may be taken possession of by strangers. We have seen so much manipulation and so much dishonesty practiced by oil companies since oil was discovered in California, that we dread the very idea of separating this stock. Water stock will hold this oil stock inviolate. No great corporation can secure control of the water company unless it buys the ranches and orchards of the entire valley. It would have to do that to secure control of the stock as it is at present constituted. If segregation should unfortunately occur, the prize is too rich not to tempt the cupidity of the great oil barons who are low taking under their wing all the oil properties of Southern California. We do not say this will inevitably occur, but danger of it is so great, that no chance should be taken with it. Let well enough alone. Do not segregate, but let the present board of directors of the water company manage the oil company to the best interests of all the stockholders. The matter of separating this stock, which was the principal matter discussed at Saturday's water meeting, was not finally settled at the session. It will probably come up again, and we caution stockholders to be on their guard to meet the issue squarely when it comes. We have every confidence in DON'T COME If you are afraid you will be bored to death and have a miserable time at the debate between Anaheim and Whittier high schools at the high school auditorium Friday evening, don't dare show your face about the premises. But if you want to hear one of the best debates ever held in Anaheim you will be welcomed, and your little dime admission taken to help pay for the expenses of the visiting debaters. The debate promises to be one of the most hotly contested ever held here, for both teams have been working hard and each will mount the platform with the best of preparation and coaching. "Spud" Spencer and "Dollar Watch" Krause will represent Anaheim and their supporters count on them to naturally wallop the Whittier "Spielers" to a fare-you-well. The high school chogus has been rehearsing songs for the occasion and some new and startling ones are booked to appear. Anaheim will uphold the negative of the question, "Resolved, That foreign immigration should be further restricted by law." The Whittier debaters will be accompanied by a crowd of 150 supporters in a special Southern Pacific train, and their rooting will probably be a feature of the debate. Anaheim has won the first of the Southern California league debates this year with a high score, against one of the best schools in the league, and if indications count for anything, will win this one. This victory will put the Anaheim school in the running for the Southern California championship, which she has not won since 1907. As we said before, come to this debate if you want to hear one of the best ever held in this city. BASEBALL BOYS DEFEAT TUFTS-LYONS Walk Away From Los Angeles' Best Amateur Team in Grand Style The Anaheim baseball team again showed its superiority on Sunday by walking away from the fast Tufts Lyons team to the tune of 5 to 2, in one of the best games ever played on the local diamond. The Los Angeles aggregation is noted for its fast playing and excellent team work, and has the reputation of being practically the best team in the Southern California amateur league. All the Los Angeles men are good at bat and in their respective positions and play the game.

Smith passed away early Sunday morning at his home in Los Angeles. Although confined to his room the greater part of a year, he had kept up his duties as congressman and these had placed him in close touch with congress, and his last official act was the dictation of six long and important letters to his clerk but a few hours before he passed away. Sunday morning at about 4 o'clock he aroused his nurse, complaining that he felt quite ill, and in a few moments he had passed away. He was born in Henry county, Iowa, August 26, 1858, the son of Edward and Celia W. Smith. He was educated in Howe's academy, Mount Pleasant, Ia., and in the Sacred Cross college of San Francisco. He began teaching public school when he was 17 years of age. In 1882 he was married to Maria J. Heart of Colusa, Cal. Mr. Smith was filling his fourth term as congressman from the eighth California district. He was an able repre- Amateur Team in Grand Style The Anaheim baseball team again showed its superiority on Sunday by walking away from the fast Tufts Lyons team to the tune of 5 to 2, in one of the best games ever played on the local diamond. The Los Angeles aggregation is noted for its fast playing and excellent team work, and has the reputation of being practically the best team in the Southern California amateur league. All the Los Angeles men are good at bat and in their respective positions and play the game in good style. That they were no match for the locals is shown by the final score, which the home team was able to lay up by fine individual playing and excellent team work. All the local boys did well and fans hereabouts say there is not another team in this southland which can compare with the Anaheim team. Many of its members are old-time ball tossers and have a reputation of being there with the goods when it comes to a swift game of ball. They have gone up against the best teams in the amateur leagues and have beaten them every time, now they are looking for some team their match, wishing to have a game which is real exciting. A game has been scheduled for next Sunday and spectators will be assured of an exciting contest. The Anaheim boys will probably appear in new suits and make a good showing, both in looks and in playing proclivities. It will certainly be a good game and something worth seeing will be missed if you do not go. See the game. Bring your pocketbook. Muslin underwear at white sale prices. Falkentein's.

This is the size planned and it will probably be constructed this size. The pool will be placed on the outside of the building on the southern part of the association's property, and will be enclosed by a high board wall. Water will be changed frequently and will be kept pure at all times. Water will be turned into the city's sewer system and disposed of in this manner. L. C. Yeoman is in charge of raising funds for building the pool and expects to inaugurate a campaign for so doing next Saturday. With the aid of young men of the city, he hopes to secure the entire amount so that work may be begun at once. One worker with boys in the city has announced that he will donate $100 to the fund and another has announced that he might be counted on for $50, leaving only $300 to be raised by the young men. This amount will undoubtedly be raised without any trouble and the erection of the pool is practically assured. Money for the furnishing of the building is needed for none has as yet been raised for this purpose and it will be needed before the building is completely furnished. Donations will be received at any time and payment of same, and also for the amounts subscribed for erection of the building may be made to the Y. M. C.
