Entered at the Anaheim Postoffice as second-class matter. AN AGREEMENT ARRIVED AT After discussing matters at issue between members of the board of supervisors for several months, an amicable adjustment was arrived at by the board on Tuesday, when the board agreed to speedily construct the Olive bridge at a cost of $60,000, add five or six miles of paved highway in this district to the county highway system and allot an equitable distribution of public money to this district in the future. In return for these appropriations, Supervisor Schumacher agreed to vote for an appropriation to continue work upon the coast highway. In this action he has the support of voters and taxpayers in the third supervisor district. If this district shall receive its proper quota of public monies, to be applied upon bridges and public thoroughfares, there is no objection here to continuing work upon the coast highway. Indeed, this coast highway has already had the indorsement of the Associated Chambers of Commerce, and as the coast section supported the issue of $1,270,000 highway bonds for construction of paved thoroughfares in the county, it is held that it is no more than fair that a proper allotment of moneys from the county treasury be made for continuing work upon the coast road. These matters meet with cordial indorsement throughout PATRONIZING HOME INDUSTRY The way in which to make a town grow and prosper is by patronizing our home merchants and manufacturers. Every dollar kept at home adds just that much to the prosperity of the city and increases the payroll of the laboring classes on Saturday night. This is true of every line of business, and includes the Union Brewing Company and the cigar manufacturers of this city as well. People who drink beer and smoke cigars should make it a point to patronize home manufacturers. The Union Brewing Company is one of the largest employers of labor in Orange county and few establishments have a larger monthly payroll. This money finds its way into channels of trade and every merchant in this city gets his share of it. The brewery employs 21 experienced laborers, each one of whom is paid a journeyman's salary and this money goes to pay the butcher, baker and all other classes of business men in town. The brewery pays a monthly license to do business in this city and is also taxed by the city of Los Angeles at the rate of $100 for the privilege of selling its beers in that city. Outside beers sold here have no such license to pay, and this seems to be unfair to the home producer. This is also true with reference to outside cigars selling here, which come into active competition with cigars made by local manufacturers. The Arnold' cigar manufactory gives employment to a number of laborers who maintain their families here and help support and enhance the prosperity of this city. As in the case of the product of the Union Brewing Company, these cigars are of a very superior variety, better in flavor and quality of tobacco than outside cigars sold here at higher prices. The beer produced by the Union Brewing Company is a society minstrel, sent in the minstrel line, is citizens of this city, in the next Tuesday evening. A number of local people are in the production and it is the best local talent put on in the city for showing is the cast of characters in the program: PART I Introlocutor ...G Soloists—Miss Paschal Speicher, H.

ACTION OF THE BANKERS The action of Orange county bankers in deciding to purchase $200,000 of state highway bonds, which insures early beginning of work upon the state road through this county, is in every way commendable to their patriotism and sagacity as moneyed men. We are very glad to say that this decision was first suggested by financiers of this city, among whom Chas. Eygabroad of the Anaheim National Bank took a conspicuous part. He was speedily joined by the other banks of this city, and at a recent meeting of bankers held at Santa Ana credit for the movement was given Anaheim bankers. It is becoming generally known that the amount of bonds voted by the state for highways is insufficient to construct all the roads contemplated throughout the state. When the time shall arrive that these bonds are all disposed of, it will probably be found that many counties will be minus a state road, while they will still possess the privilege of paying taxes upon these outstanding state securities. At a recent meeting of the state highway commission, a large amount of bonds were sold to small bankers throughout the state. This indicates that these financiers clearly see the necessity of purchasing bonds at this time in order to secure construction of the state roads in their localities. The patriotic action here to continuing work upon the coast highway. Indeed, this coast highway has already had the indorsement of the Associated Chambers of Commerce, and as the coast section supported the issue of $1,270,000 highway bonds for construction of paved thoroughfares in the county, it is held that it is no more than fair that a proper allotment of moneys from the county treasury be made for continuing work upon the coast road. These matters meet with cordial indorsement on the part of taxpayers throughout this portion of the county. Mr. Schumacher has stood resolutely for the rights of his constituents in the third supervisor district, and now that he has succeeded in getting other members of the board to agree to an adequate distribution of public money, there exists no disposition here to further prolong the controversy regarding the coast road. We believe he will have the support of all good men and well-wishes for the progress and upbuilding of Orange county. We believe the time has arrived for all sections to cast petty bickerings aside, and to get together for conserving the best interests of the best county in the State. SACRED CONCERT AND CANTATA MONDAY Presbyterian Church Choir to Give "The Daughter of Jairus" Early Next Week The Presbyterian church choir, under the direction of Miss Juanita Powers, will give a sacred concert and cantata in the church, corner of Hermine and Cypress streets, next Monday evening, April 7. The choir will be assisted by Miss Helena Goodale on the violin, Miss Veda Walker reader and Miss Louisa Paschall, soprano. Part one will take the form of sacred selections by the choir, solo, Nina, by Miss Alice Grimshaw, violin solo by Miss Helena Goodale, and a selected reading by Miss Veda Walker. Part two will take the form of a cantata, "The Daughter of Jairus," by the entire choir. The entertainment will begin at 8 o'clock. Rehearsals have been going on for several weeks in preparation for the event and the finished product will be one of the best musical concerts ever given in the city. A large attendance is looked for, people from all over the county having signified their intention of attending, and the church will probably be filled to overflowing. Members of County Female's Clubs to Be In The eighth regular Ebell Club, to be held on lows' hall Saturday, April 13, there is to be a ball at which coffee is to be ladies of Anaheim. Aures of the afternoon addresses by two out-of-town At 3:30 the local organ a regular business meet probably be found that many counties will be minus a state road, while they will still possess the privilege of paying taxes upon these outstanding state securities. At a recent meeting of the state highway commission, a large amount of bonds were sold to small bankers throughout the state. This indicates that these financiers clearly see the necessity of purchasing bonds at this time in order to secure construction of the state roads in their localities. The patriotic action of Orange county bankers insures early beginning of work upon the state highway in this county. We also believe that construction of the highway through Orange county means the adoption of the route for the ocean-to-ocean road. These state bonds bear a rate of 4 per cent per annum, and while they may be deposited as security for loans of public money by paying 2 per cent thereon, and can later be used in ordinary banking business at 7 per cent, nevertheless the securities are not regarded with great favor by bond buyers. A greater return upon their money can be secured by making other investments. Therefore their patriotic action is all the more commendable for it means that we shall secure the state road, while otherwise we might have been left holding the bag. The state highway commission will in a few days offer a large amount of bonds for sale and $200,000 of this amount has been allotted Orange county. Money for purchase of these securities is ready and this means that an early beginning of work will occur. Had these bonds unfortunately been passed up by Orange county financiers, we should undoubtedly have failed to get the state road through this county. We say their action is most commendable and patriotic and they are entitled to congratulations on the part of all the people. Miss Helena Goodale, and a selected reading by Miss Veda Walker.

CHURCH CLASSES ARE ENTERTAINED Social Gathering at the Residence of Mr. and Mrs. Wm. Pannier The Philathea and Baraca classes of the Evangelical church of this city very charmingly entertained at a reception at the home of Mr. and Mrs. Wm. Pannier, Monday evening. The spacious house was beautifully decorated for the occasion with ferns, lilies and roses. The reception was in honor of the Rev. and Mrs. J. B. Berhns, who will shortly leave as missionaries to China. Both Mr. Berhns and his wife are graduates of Northwestern college, of Naperville, Ill. An interesting program was rendered by the younger people, including a duet by Miss Schneider and Florence Schneider, a reading, "A Kentucky Watermillion," by Alice Pannier, and a solo by Rollo Luhring. Several of the guests gave interesting talks, among them Mr. Berhns, in his remarks, quoted a certain verse in Proverbs, "He who findeth a wife, findeth a good thing." Indeed, this is the case, Mr. Berhns finding Miss Lena Thierfelder of this city as his bride, recently. At a late hour dainty refreshments were served to the guests of whom there were about 50, many of who came from Orange and Santa Ana. FOR SALE—15 shares of Anaheim Sanitarium stock at $105 per share.

Brig. Gen. J. O. Royer presided in the absence of Col. Miller, who was called to Santa Monica on other business. Maj. Walter Amstutz, formerly in command of the battalion, tendered his resignation at the unanimous request of Company 26 that he become captain of that company in this city. Maj. Amstutz has been a most efficient commanding officer and is one of the most experienced military tacticians in the brigade. He therefore declined re-election as major and at suggestion of his associates, accepted the captaincy of Company 26, to which place he was elected unanimously. Major Bishop is also an experienced officer and the new battalion has now one of the best commanding officers in the uniform rank. Judge Shanley received a telegraph dispatch at 1 o'clock on Sunday morning from J. F. Digan, of Logansport, Ind., which city has been partially swept away by floods, stating that he and Mrs. Digan and their little three-year-old son had been unharmed by rising waters, although their residence had been flooded to a depth of 15 feet. The judge was awakened from sound slumber by the knocking at his front door, and en reading the message, immediately dispatched a wire to Mr. Digan, stating that he wished him and his family to come to Anaheim for a year's visit. Mrs. Digan is Judge Shanley's niece. The judge, in his message, stated Logansport would be in rather unhealthy condition following the flood, and he and his wife were anxious that the family come on here to remain for a protracted visit. They will probably arrive sometime next week. They spent several weeks here as guests of Judge and Mrs. Shanley last year, and made many friends who express regret at the flooding of their residence.

Mr. and Mrs. Pistorius came to Anaheim from Grand Island, Neb., in January for the benefit of the former's health, and for a time he seemed to improve, but latterly he took a turn for the worse and passed away yesterday. Mrs. Pistorius was formerly Miss Marie Egge, and is well known in this city, being a niece of Mrs. Zeus. Deceased was a member of the Masonic order, and it is likely funeral services will be held by that organization. The time for the funeral has not been set, as it is expected word will be received from relatives in the East that they will come to be present at that time.
