Entered at the Anaheim Postoffice as second-class matter. STANTON'S DISINCORPORATION Philip A. Stanton has been at Santa Ana and has been interviewed by the versatile newspaper men of that city in relation to the pending effort on the part of residents of the city of Stanton to disincorporate that municipality. Mr. Stanton lays all the blame at Anaheim's door, of course, and intimates that but for the intrusion of this city into Stanton's internal affairs, his friends and neighbors would be getting along in gobs of peace and harmony. When he states that incorporation of Stanton was brought about for the purpose of preventing this city from locating a sewer farm in the west country, he states the case truthfully, but he does not tell the whole story. He should have told these versatile reporters at the courthouse who give him so much space in their columns, that incorporation of Stanton was brought about not so much to prevent this city from maintaining a sewer farm in that vicinity, as to place that sewer farm upon lands owned by Mr. Stanton and which he was desirous of selling to this city for $30,000. During the campaign for incorporation, Mr. Stanton came to this city and offered to sell a tract of 100 acres of sandwash land at $300 an acre for sewer farm purposes. The city trustees after viewing this tract, turned the offer down. He said that if the city purchased this land of him, incorporation of Stanton would be called off. This is one matter which he forgot to tell the reporters at Santa Ana, but there are others. For in- of Stanton. This would necessitate the erection of a new school house, and meant a bond issue and more taxation. The sequesteration was proposed so that the territory might obtain four miles of paved thoroughfare in the county highway system. Residents remaining in the municipality protested against this action. Meetings were held and it was decided to stand or fall together. That is the long and the short of the story as it now presents itself to the people of Stanton. It is a matter which appeals solely to them, it is none of Anaheim's affairs and there exists in this city absolutely nothing to do in the matter for or against incorporation. A MULTIPLICITY OF SEWER FARMS The Stanton Optimist seems to be somewhat perturbed less this city cover the west country with a multiplicity of sewer farms. In its last issue, referring to the proposition for disincorporation of that town which is now being agitated by its citizens, it makes the following references to this city, and intimates that we have in view a purpose to locate another sewer farm in the west country in addition to the one now in operation: Stanton probably is the only city in California that is placed in the position of having to defend itself against an outside enemy and at the same time make a defense against some of its own citizens who seem bent on bringing disaster not alone upon themselves, but their neighbors as well. In this latter relation we refer specifically to those citizens who are going about throughout the city circulating petitions to disincorporate Stanton. Previous to circulating the petitions referred to, some of the parties now seeking to disincorporate Stanton expressed a desire that section of the city lying north of Valencia avenue might be allowed to withdraw from the city, and many citizens who favor incorporation, in order to have less discord, expressed their willingness that this territory might be withdrawn. Instead of being satisfied with peacefully withdrawing from Stanton with the sanction of their well wishing neighbors, the northsiders seem to believe in the old adage of "asking for an inch and taking an ell." When the conspirators found that Stanton's loyal citizens were only too willing to get rid of them they began to see a light and concluded that if they withdrew from Stanton and were deprived of city valuation, has for years no consideration. What are the facts of A year ago $100,000 voted for construction Orange county. Of the 2000 has been expended of bridges in the south the county, while not an expended on a bridge pervisor district. It may unfair to protest against distribution of public funds is the way we feel about Last year, out of no expense fund, the third trict was allowed $100. The second and fifth districts were given $400 an excess appropriation districts of at least $2 items, $70,000 for bridges for roads, give these $110,000 to the third district. Te refer to this matter propriaion of public absurdly unfair, but not crawl. Over and above the mand on the part of districts for an appropriate beginning work up way. This road will be in the next five years $100,000 and before itpleted, probably an $200,000 will be necessary our bridges, built a quarter ago, are about resisted and roads in this district execreable in the county absurdly unfair to refer but we pass the buck. If the coast highway built, it will be through the approval of Schumacher of the town district, who stands up a square deal all around. We note a disposition some supercilious skyscraper there matters to those persons... upon lands owned by Mr. Stanton and which he was desirous of selling to this city for $30,000. During the campaign for incorporation, Mr. Stanton came to this city and offered to sell a tract of 100 acres of sandwash land at $300 an acre for sewer farm purposes. The city trustees after viewing this tract, turned the offer down. He said that if the city purchased this land of him, incorporation of Stanton would be called off. This is one matter which he forgot to tell the reporters at Santa Ana, but there are others. For instance, he promised the farmers in the west country that the total annual cost for the support of the city of Stanton should not exceed $300 in any one year. This amount has of course been very largely exceeded. He inflamed the minds of the farmers by telling them sewage from this city would overrun their farms, while all the time he was ready and willing to sell this sandwash land, which is included in the city of Stanton, to Anaheim for sewer farm purposes. The effort now making on the part of residents of Stanton to disincorporate comes from them alone. Anaheim has not one particle of interest in their internal affairs. This city wishes nothing but good fortune to its neighbors on the west. If they desire to maintain incorporation, that is their privilege. If they wish to disincorporate, that is their business; certainly it is none of our affair at all. To say that the city of Anaheim is behind this movement for disincorporation because City Attorney Ames has been employed by taxpayers of Stanton to carry an appeal to the supreme court of a lawsuit contesting legality of the town's incorporation, is about as near the truth as one would get by saying that Los Angeles is back of the movement because Judge Pope is also an attorney in the case now pending before the higher court. When the petition for the incorporation of Stanton was before the supervisors two years ago, taking in territory embracing 16 square miles, 75 farmers appeared before the supervisors and protested themselves out of the exterior boundaries of the proposed municipality. At a meeting of supervisors a week later, 60 other farmers appeared before the board and earnestly protested against inclusion of their property. Their protest was denied by the board, and these men have ever since bitterly fought incorporation. They are the people who are now moving in this matter, not the citizens of Anaheim. Had these 60 farmers been permitted to exclude themselves from the city of Stanton, there would not have remained sufficient population throughout the city circulating petitions to disincorporate Stanton. Previous to circulating the petitions referred to, some of the parties now seeking to disincorporate Stanton expressed a desire that section of the city lying north of Valencia avenue might be allowed to withdraw from the city, and many citizens who favor incorporation, in order to have less discord, expressed their willingness that this territory might be withdrawn. Instead of being satisfied with peacefully withdrawing from Stanton with the sanction of their well wishing neighbors, the northsiders seem to believe in the old adage of "asking for an inch and taking an ell." When the consignrators found that Stanton's loyal citizens were only too willing to get rid of them they began to see a light and concluded that if they withdrew from Stanton and were deprived of city protection, and Stanton still remained a city, they would be exposed to the danger of Anaheim installing a sewer farm in their midst. To repay their neighbors for their kindness in allowing them to withdraw from the city, they decided that in order to make sure that Anaheim would establish its sewer farm on the ground that it now owns in the city of Stanton it would be necessary to disincorporate the entire city. With this end in view a petition was drafted and a committee was appointed to circulate same and secure signatures thereto. So far as maintaining a sewer farm in the northern city limits of Stanton which recently sought to be segregated from that city, the only man who ever suggested such a thing was P. A. Stanton himself. Two years ago, when incorporation of the city of Stanton was under consideration, Mr. Stanton came to this city and offered to sell the city trustees a tract of 100 acres of sandwash land for $30,000, the same to be used as a sewer farm. He stated that if Anaheim purchased this land and maintained its sewer farm thereupon, all negotiations for incorporation of Stanton would cease. This city refused his offer. To say that if this territory should be segregated from Stanton it would lay itself liable to have a sewer farm located anywhere within its limits, is absurd. This city has no intention of locating a sewer farm there, never had any such intention, and probably never will. It maintains a sewer farm upon the ranch purchased last year west of this city and east of the city of Stanton, and this sewer farm, we believe, will answer all requirements for the next 10 or 15 years. At the end of that time, with the great growth of this section in view, an outfall to the ocean may be considered by the various towns of Orange county. If such ocean outfall shall be adopted, it will be a matter for the cities of Orange county to take up and carry to successful consumption. We do not believe it is the intention of this city to maintain another sewer farm, as the present farm answers all immediate requirements, and we believe will continue to do so for many years to come. This sewer farm business is a bugaboo which we believe the citizens of Stanton thoroughly understand. This city has nothing whatever to do with the purity ago, are about reassemble in the courthouse absurdly unfair to refer but we pass the buck if If the coast highway built, it will be constructed on the approval of Schumacher of the town district, who stands up a square deal all around.

Their protest was denied by the board, and these men have ever since bitterly fought incorporation. They are the people who are now moving in this matter, not the citizens of Anaheim. Had these 60 farmers been permitted to exclude themselves from the city of Stanton, there would not have remained sufficient population to justify incorporation. At the election for incorporation two years ago, these 60 farmers voted against the movement, while 69 voters supported incorporation. The town was incorporated by a majority of nine votes. At the general election last November, 240 votes were polled, registration of women increasing the poll by 100 votes. There are more than 160 signatures at the present time to a petition asking the supervisors to call an election on disincorporation. This is more than the necessary two-thirds to effect disincorporation. The people of Anaheim have nothing whatever to do with this matter. It is a proposition squarely up to the people of Stanton and to say that Anaheim is back of this movement is simply an attempt to further becloud the issue. Some weeks ago a proposition was made residents in the northern part of Stanton to set them out of the municipality. It was proposed to place the northern boundary line at Orange street, a thoroughfare running east and west some distance south of Magnolia school house. Thus the sequestered strip would take with it the school house now used by the children Orange county. If such ocean outfall shall be adopted, it will be a matter for the cities of Orange county to take up and carry to successful consummation. We do not believe it is the intention of this city to maintain another sewer farm, as the present farm answers all immediate requirements, and we believe will continue to do so for many years to come. This sewer farm business is a bugaboo which we believe the citizens of Stanton thoroughly understand. This city has nothing whatever to do with the purpose of a part of its citizens to disincorporate, and this multiplicity of sewer farms had best be left out of all consideration. There is nothing to the story. POSSIBLY SO The esteemed Huntington Beach News quotes Mr. Supervisor Talbert as characterizing our position upon expenditure of public moneys on roads and bridges in this district as "absurdly unfair." Perhaps it is absurdly unfair to ask for a square deal in the matter of distribution of public moneys throughout the county, but if this is the position assumed by Mr. Talbert we think he will have to grin and bear it until further orders. What we are asking for here in the third supervisor district, is that we be given a square deal in the matter of the expenditure of public money, and this situation is greatly aggravated in the fact that most of the public moneys recently appropriated out of the county treasury have been disbursed in the second and fifth supervisor districts, while the third district, which comprises 37 per cent of the county's total assessed ANAHEIM GAZETTE valuation, has for years received little or no consideration. What are the facts of the case? A year ago $100,000 of money was voted for construction of bridges in Orange county. Of this amount, $70,000 has been expended in construction of bridges in the southern portion of the county, while not a dollar has been expended on a bridge in the third supervisor district. It may be absurdly unfair to protest against this unfair distribution of public money, but that is the way we feel about it. Last year, out of the current expense fund, the third supervisor district was allowed $15,000 for roads. The second and fifth districts, having an assessed valuation combined of 12 per cent above that of the third district, were given $40,000. Here was an excess appropriation for those two districts of at least $23,000. These two items, $70,000 for bridges, and $40,000 for roads, give these coast districts $110,000 to the third district’s $15,000. Te refer to this matter as unjust appropriation of public money, may be absurdly unfair, but it sticks in our craw. Over and above this, comes a demand on the part of the coast districts for an appropriation of $20,000 for beginning work upon a coast highway. This road will cost the county in the next five years not less than $100,000 and before it shall be completed, probably an expenditure of $200,000 will be necessary. Meanwhile our bridges, built a quarter of a century ago, are about ready to fall down, and roads in this district are the most execreable in the county. It may be absurdly unfair to refer to these things, but we pass the buck to Mr. Talbert. If the coast highway is ever to be built, it will be constructed by and through the approval of Mr. Supervisor Schumacher of the third supervisor district, who stands upon a platform of a square deal all around. We note a disposition on the part of some supercilious skyscrapers to refer to those matters so long as they are not being felt as malicious. F. A. Blake, of the Olive Milling Company, was in town the latter part of the week on business connected with his mill. Harry Ray and O. M. Cowdan were in town yesterday from Brea as witnesses in the Enoch disturbing-the-peace case. Mr. Cowdan is manager of the Brea baseball club, which is one of the strongest aggregations of baseball talent in Southern California. He has a rattling good game on for next Sunday afternoon at Brea with a team of Los Angeles star players. Mrs. Mary Bowen, who has been a guest the past month of Mr. and Mrs. H. Bowen, left Wednesday for her home in Nebraska. Before her departure, a farewell reception was tendered by about 40 friends on Monday evening at the Bowen home in this city. The evening was delightfully spent with music and games, and the entertainment concluded with delicious re- tury ago, are about ready to fall down, and roads in this district are the most execreable in the county. It may be absurdy unfair to refer to these things, but we pass the buck to Mr. Talbert. If the coast highway is ever to be built, it will be constructed by and through the approval of Mr. Supervisor Schumacher of the third supervisor district; who stands upon a platform of a square deal all around. We note a disposition on the part of some supercilious skyscrapers to refer to these matters as log rolling, but if insistance upon fair treatment for the northern end of the county may be so designated, these gentlemen may make the most of it. We want a square deal. We do not so much object to construction of a coast highway, but we respectfully submit that some attention be given to roads and bridges in the northern end of the county, and this has not been done in recent years by the board of supervisors. This may be absurdly unfair, but we shall insist upon these measures. When the board of supervisors decides to give the third supervisor district a square deal, then they may go ahead with the coast highway, and not before. IN AND ABOUT THE CITY Mr. and Mrs. J. F.

The evening was delightfully spent with music and games, and the entertainment concluded with delicious refreshments. Mr. and Mrs. C. H. Newcombe, Charley Newcombe and Mr. and Mrs. R. L. Grenke formed an automobile party which enjoyed a ride about the country adjacent to Pomona, San Bernardino and Redlands Sunday, covering in all a distance of over 180 miles. The funeral of Rudolph Pistorius, who died in this city last Wednesday morning, was held Saturday afternoon from the residence of Mrs. Zeus on West Center street. Rev. David Todd Gillmor, rector of the Episcopal church, had charge of the services at the house, and from there the ceremonies were in charge of the local lodge of Masons, a large number of whom were on hand to pay their last respects to the memory of a brother. Mrs. Pistorius and other members of the deceased's family, have the sympathy of the entire city in their bereavement. The cantata and sacred concert given by the Presbyterian choir Monday evening was largely attended and the music rendered was of a high order of merit. The choir, which has been rehearsing for some weeks under the direction of Miss Juanita Powers was assisted by Miss Helena Goodale on the violin, Miss Veda Walker, reader, and Miss Louisa Paschall, soprano. The affair was a decided success and the choir and all those taking part are to be congratulated for the excellent manner in which the entertainment was rendered. A company of happy young people gathered at the cosy home of Mrs. Homer Calkins on the county road last Thursday evening the occasion being a kitchen shower given in honor of Miss C. Rebeckah Rayburn and W. G. Mason of this city. The rooms were tastily decorated with pink and white, and this color scheme was also carried out in the dainty refreshments served during the evening. After a short musical program and some interesting games, the bride-elect was called upon to find the gifts that were hidden in various parts of the house. She was guided in her efforts by simple directions given in rhyme. As each gift was accompanied with a rhyme written by the giver, considerable merriment was caused by reading them to the company. The gifts consisted of articles both large and small, as well as of various degrees of usefulness. Domestic affairs will run smooth if you buy your Groceries from us.
