NATIONAL ROAD COME THROUGH THIS CITY (Continued from page 1.) best possible and practicable roads from point to point. But these engineers, who worked months on hundreds of large scale maps, and with the aid of a nationwide correspondence of more than 15,000 personal letters asking information and advice know this system is only tentative. It is but a suggestion. It is not intended to be anything else. There must be a beginning to everything, and little headway can be made without some such careful plan from which to start. Study the map and see where your home lies with relation to the highways. If it is on a Main, trunk or link line, you will probably like the system. But if you live somewhere that this system does not touch, don't condemn the system. Remember that it is designed to connect the states with each other. It is intended to touch every large city, every state capital, and to bring closer together the several parts of the country. The roads are as straight as the contour of the country will permit, without an impossible expenditure of money to tunnel mountains or bridge lakes and rivers. Remember, too, that your locality would be connected with such a system by a local road in a very short time. Notice that there are three classes of highways, main, trunk and link. The main highways are six in number, Northern Central Southern Atlantic streets, turning south into Center and going toward the postoffice. At the corner of Lemon street he found Reyes driving in a buggy with the stolen articles in his rig. He took them away from Reyes and the Mexican was placed under arrest by Officer Iman. As Iman was taking Reyes to jail, Ed Ruiz of Olive, interfered, saying that rather than permit Iman to take Reyes to jail, he would engage the officer in a rough and tumble scrap. The big policeman collared Ruiz saying, come along with me." Both were locked up and at midnight were liberated on $25 bail. Reyes demanded a jury trial and was released on $50 bond. Ruiz was permitted to go with a sharp reprimand by the court. Reyes' trial occurred on Thursday, a jury finding him guilty on the second ballot. The first ballot resulted in 11 for conviction and one for acquittal. On being sentenced Friday morning to pay a fine of $50 and serve 30 days in jail, he pleaded to be given two days in which to go to his ranch and attend to various duties requiring his attention. This the judge refused to do. His bail bond of $50 was turned into the city treasury and he was taken to jail to serve his sentence. Marshal Kellenberger states that many petty larceny thefts have occurred in town recently. Lanterns left in the street where excavations have been made are frequently taken. On one occasion three lights were left at a trench across Los Angeles street to warn travelers of danger, and the next morning two of them were missing. Three lights were again placed at the point the following night, and one of them was stolen. Contractor Chamberlain is said to have lost 200 lanterns while constructing the sewer system. Officer Germann states that in the house at Buena Park where he placed under arrest the Mexican who last and to bring closer together the several parts of the country. The roads are as straight as the contour of the country will permit, without an impossible expenditure of money to tunnel mountains or bridge lakes and rivers. Remember, too, that your locality would be connected with such a system by a local road in a very short time. Notice that there are three classes of highways, main, trunk and link. The main highways are six in number, Northern, Central, Southern, Atlantic, Mississippi and Pacific. These form the starting point and the basis of the system. Next come 13 great trunk lines, feeding and crossing the main highways, and connecting the various sections of the country in more intimate relations. Finally come 40 link highways—smaller National highways—making a gridiron of the whole system. To build such a system complete will take a man's lifetime and a huge amount of money. If the wealth of the world were ready to build this system tomorrow, it would still take many years, because there are available neither engineers nor knowledge enough to do it quickly. When this, or a similar system of National highways is built—and built it surely will be some day—it will be by a National highway commission, which first locates and then builds, one or more roads at a time, learning as it builds. When this huge amount of money is spent—as spent it is bound to be—it will be gradually and through an annual appropriation. If New York State can afford five millions a year for road building, is it unreasonable to suppose the United States Government can afford ten times as much—or fifty millions a year? Think it over. Look at the map. Study it and see how it will affect you and your home. If you have any suggestions to make, or criticisms to offer, the National Highways Association would like to hear them. The system as outlined is only a beginning—a suggestion. But if it appears as a beautiful dream, it is at least a practicable, engineer's dream, and a dream which—like that of de Lesseps and the canal—is bound to come true some time. The National Highways Association believes that the time when the dream begins to come true is close at hand. It is a dream which vitally affects every man, woman and child in the country—a dream which, when it does come true in its entirety, will be found of more importance to our progress as a Nation to our wealth to our social end one occasion three lights were left at a trench across Los Angeles street to warn travelers of danger, and the next morning two of them were missing. Three lights were again placed at the point the following night, and one of them was stolen. Contractor Chamberlain is said to have lost 200 lanterns while constructing the sewer system. Officer Germann states that in the house at Buena Park where he placed under arrest the Mexican who last summer shot Kellenberger he saw a lantern which he was quite certain had been taken from this city. MODERN HOTEL IN SIGHT FOR ANAHEIM Capitalist Visits City—May Invest $50,000 or $75,000 in Hostelry Here The question is now asked in earnest—Do the people of Anaheim want a first-class hotel? The matter of building a large and up-to-date hotel in this city has been brought up from time to time, but the prospect for securing such a house was never so bright as at present. A first-class hotel needs a prosperous city just as much as a prosperous city needs a first-class hotel, and it is claimed by some of our residents that Anaheim has come to the point where a modern and up-to-date hotel is a necessity. William Anderson, proprietor of the New Grand Hotel in Salt Lake City, the most finely furnished hotel west of Chicago, Hotel Lemhi, Salmon, Idaho, and Hotel Anderson, Colton, was in town the first of the week and after looking about the city, was so well pleased that his friends here and those who are anxious to see a large new hotel built, are positive that he can be persuaded to build here and make an investment of probably $75,000 in a hotel, providing this city with one of the largest and most modernly equipped hotels in the state. The matter was brought up at the board of trade's meeting Monday night and was referred to the public improvements committee. Members of this committee and possibly other members of the board of trade will probably go to Colton, at which place Mr. Anderson is now staying, and see if he cannot be induced to build here. Friends of Mr. Anderson who have known him for several years say he is a gentleman and works always for the best interests of the city in which he makes his home. His hotels are the most orderly column warmer death was instantaneous son, George, who is local meat market, wives home at 9 o'clock morning, he found himself as usual with her wife She had been in ill health was thought to have unbalanced.

Reyes stole a laprobe from the buggy of George Hetebrink of Fullerton, which was hitched in the alley in rear of the Orange County Wine Company's place of business, a week ago last Saturday evening. Louie Tetzlaff, brother of the speed-monster, drove up at the time and saw Reyes make away with the laprobe and a quantity of merchandise from the rig. He informed Hetebrink a moment later and the latter set out in search of the thief. He went to his buggy, found the articles gone, and proceeded to Los An- meeting Monday night and was referred to the public improvements committee. Members of this committee and possibly other members of the board of trade will probably go to Colton, at which place Mr. Anderson is now staying, and see if he cannot be induced to build here. Friends of Mr. Anderson who have known him for several years say he is a gentleman and works always for the best interests of the city in which he makes his home. His hotels are the most orderly to be found anywhere and have a wide reputation among tourists and traveling men. On account of the business slump due to the closing out of the saloons at Colton some months ago, the hotel at that point, representing an investment of $60,000, was closed up and Mr. Anderson with his family moved away. It has since been opened, but is not paying dividends, and Mr. Anderson is thinking of closing it up. He stated while in town, that he would not build and invest money here or any other place, unless he was assured that he would be granted a permanent license for serving liquors with meals and at a bar, as he states as his experience in 25 years of hotel work, that no hotel in a town of small size will pay without a table and bar license. The committee of the board of trade will probably go up to see Mr. Anderson and see what can be done in the matter of locating the hostelry here. Mr. Anderson is widely known and respected, and would prove a valuable addition to the business life of this city. If he comes here, he will probably invest largely in property and will likely sell out his hotels in other cities and devote his entire attention to affairs in this city. It is up to the people of Anaheim to say what they want in the hotel line.

Jester, aged 49, for many years a well-known resident of this city, ended her life on Wednesday morning of last week by shooting herself with a 22-caliber rifle. The weapon belonged to one of her sons and was left in the house unloaded. Mrs. Jester, while cleaning his clothes found a cartridge in one of the pockets. She inserted it in the rifle and placing the weapon against the lower right jaw, fired, the ball emerging at the base of the skull and imbedding itself in the ceiling overhead. The spinal column was shattered and death was instantaneous. When her son, George, who is employed at a local meat market, went to the family home at 9 o'clock on Wednesday morning, he found his mother occupied as usual with her household duties. 5.13 INCHES OF RAIN INSURES GREAT SEASON Records For Many Years Past Broken in Precipitation of Week Rain to the amount of 5.13 inches fell during the week, bringing the total to 8.81, as read by Mr. Dickel's gauge. To March 1st last year the fall was 2.20, and the total for that season was 9.79. Rain began falling on Thursday when .17 was recorded for that afternoon and evening. On Friday .42 fell, on Saturday .22 and on Sunday night 2.84 inches. This was the heaviest rainfall during 24 hours in many years. It was followed on Monday by a fall of 1.48, bringing the total for the storm to 5.13. Rain threatened again on Tuesday, but the sky cleared and the sun shown out for the first time in many days. The river ran bank full of water, and had another heavy downpour occurred, probably an overflow would have resulted. The rain insures a most prosperous season to farmers throughout this section. Farming operations are proceeding on a large scale, and the greatest crops in the history of the county is Mrs. Jester, while cleaning his clothes found a cartridge in one of the pockets. She inserted it in the rifle and placing the weapon against the lower right jaw, fired, the ball emerging at the base of the skull and imbedding itself in the ceiling overhead. The spinal column was shattered and death was instantaneous. When her son, George, who is employed at a local meat market, went to the family home at 9 o'clock on Wednesday morning, he found his mother occupied as usual with her household duties. She had been in ill health lately and was thought to have been mentally unbalanced. At noon Russell, a younger son, returned home from school for lunch, and found his mother seated upon the floor of her bedroom, her head reclining against a door. The rifle lay in her lap and life was extinct. He immediately informed his brother George of the terrible occurrence. Officer Germann was notified and removed the body to Backs & Terry's mortuary. Coroner Winbigler was advised of the suicide. He drove over from the county seat in the evening, but decided to hold no inquest. After taking testimony of Officer Germann and other witnesses, he issued a burial certificate, giving the cause of death as suicide. Mrs. Jester was a woman of good education and for many years had been closely identified with the W. C. T. U., of which organization she was at one time president. She was a member of the Christian Church and was held in high regard by those who knew her. Some years ago she separated from her husband and later applied for divorce, but service could not be made upon him, his whereabouts being unknown. She was a hard working woman and was engaged in washing for families in town up to a short time ago. For some time past her actions have been peculiar and it is thought that at the time of committing the rash deed she was deranged mentally. She leaves a family of seven children, the youngest being aged 6 years. Two of her daughters are married and her son Charlie is a member of the regular army. Burial services were held at the Christian church on Saturday, when a large concourse of friends of the deceased were present to tender their last tribute of respect to the departed. Rev. Moore conducted the services. The remains were interred in the east-side cemetery.
