PAVING IN CITY SOON TO BE UNDERTAKEN BIDS FOR LAYING CONCRETE PAVEMENT TO BE OPENED BY CITY TRUSTEES JUNE 12 Y. M. C. A. TO BE FURNISHED WITH CITY WATER FOR USE IN SWIMMING POOL Another important step toward the completion of the paving of North and South Los Angeles street was taken at Thursday evening's city trustees' meeting when all preliminary work having been completed, a call for bids for doing the work was sent out to paving contractors of the state. This action followed close upon the passing of a resolution by the board finding that 15 days had elapsed after the publication and posting of resolutions of intention that the trustees were going to pave North and South Los Angeles street, and that the matter was now in the hands of the trustees. According to law, 15 days are given after the publication and posting of notices of intention of improving streets, in which property owners on the streets affected may enter a protest to the work. No protest has been filed by property owners on North and South Los Angeles street, all being desirous of having the work done and completed as soon as possible. The matter was brought up by City Attorney Ames, who suggested that the board pass the aforegoing resolutions and that when this were done, the calling for bids was next in order. Accordingly a call for bids was sent out and the sealed bids from paving contractors of the southern portion of the state will be opened swimming pool is open not only to the boys, but to men like yourselves. It will prove of much public benefit, and we would appreciate it very much if you can see your way clear to let us have the use of the water for it free, using it in flushing out the sewers afterwards." The sentiment of the board seemed to be that if the city had water to spare, no objection would be had to the proposal. When it was suggested that enough water might not be available, Councilman Stark retorted: "It seems to me we ought to have enough water in the city for the people to wash themselves." When the new well is in use, it was thought enough water would be available for furnishing the amount asked for, and a motion to the effect that the city furnish water free to the Y. M. C. A. for the pool if enough of it was available for that purpose was carried. G. M. Simpson appeared before the board and asked that some action be taken toward oiling or otherwise improving for travel a portion of South East street in front of his property. The road, he said, is almost impassable and something ought to be done. The matter was referred to the street superintendent with power to act. Harry Dyer applied for city water for his home outside the city limits and a contract with him was ordered drawn up to that effect. According to a suggestion of Plumbing Inspector C. L. Becker, City Attorney Ames was instructed to draw up an ordinance amending sections of the present plumbing ordinance, and providing for inspection of gas connections, and submitting them to a high pressure. Building permits were issued as follows: L. B. Weber, $4,000 apartment house on North Helena street. J. C. Zimmerman, $2,000 dwelling on South Los Angeles street. TEN COUNTIES REPRE- No protest has been filed by property owners on North and South Los Angeles street, all being desirous of having the work done and completed as soon as possible. The matter was brought up by City Attorney Ames, who suggested that the board pass the aforegoing resolutions and that when this were done, the calling for bids was next in order. Accordingly a call for bids was sent out and the sealed bids from paving contractors of the southern portion of the state will be opened at the next meeting of the board on June 12. At that time or shortly thereafter, contract will be awarded and work undertaken immediately. At that rate, the paving will be completed on this street and it will be ready for the coming of the state highway sometime during the early part of summer. Preliminary work by the city trustees has been rushed and all haste possible has been made, so that at an early date Los Angeles street will be paved from the northern to the southern city limits. Ordinance No. 262, an ordinance establishing curb lines of streets in the city of Anaheim, was brought up for final reading and passed. A contract between the city of Anaheim and the United States Cast Iron & Foundry Company for the delivery to the city of approximately 101 tons of cast iron water pipe was read and the president and clerk authorized to sign the same. An agreement between H. C. Metzgar, living at the corner of South Olive and Broad streets, just outside the city limits, and the city for the delivery of water to the former, was read and accepted. An agreement between F. A. Altenow and the city for the delivery to the former of city electric energy was read and accepted. Bids for sprinking the streets of the city of Anaheim were opened as follows: R. A. Fossek $2.50 per day, Chas. Dussourt $105 per month. Each bid was accompanied by a certified check for $10 as required by the call for bids. City Attorney Ames said that as a bill had been introduced into the legislature recently fixing the minimum compensation of men engaged on public work at $3.00, it might be well to wait until the next meeting of the board and he would ascertain if the bill was passed. If the bill were made law, a contract for $2.50 per day would not be binding. It was decided to wait until the next meeting before awarding contract for the ensuing year. Bids for laying cement gutters on South Citron street according to specifications on file in City Engineer Steward's office, were received as follows: T. F. Morgan $720, C. E. Chamberlain present plumbing ordinance, and providing for inspection of gas connections, and submitting them to a high pressure. Building permits were issued as follows: L. B.

TEN COUNTIES REPRESENTED AT LAND SHOW Much Interest Being Taken In Affair to Be Held in San Francisco In October Ten counties of the state already have indicated their intention to be represented at the California Land Show to be held in San Francisco October 11th to 25th. According to reports issued by the Land Show committee of the San Francisco real estate board, which is promoting the enterprise, such enthusiasm has been displayed by the interior districts months before the opening day of the show, that a record-breaking display from every part of the state seems certain. General Manager Edward H. Brown attended the recent special meeting of supervisors and county exposition commissioners at Santa Cruz and found there a widespread interest in the Land Show. Brown was at Santa Cruz also as a commissioner from Sonoma county and took part in the discussion regarding the California building and the apportionment of its space for the Panama Pacific exposition in 1915. He found a majority of the commissioners convinced that the Land Show in San Francisco offered to the counties an unusual opportunity for pre-exposition promotion work in San Francisco. State exhibitors will learn many a lesson from the Land Show which will enable them to make their 1915 showing even more elaborate and perfect. The exposition work of the counties really will start with the Land Show of this year and from then it will never slacken until the exhibits are all installed in the California building in 1915. North of Bay Counties Association has endorsed the Land Show in resolutions recently passed urging its members to send exhibits to the show. The association consists of the counties of Sonoma, Humboldt, Sonoma and Marin counties already have reserved space for their exhibits and Mendocino and Napa counties have declared their intention to be represented. The question of county participation led by any board of trade California, and cannot fail cellent effect among the homeseekers now turning hitherward in search of favored land.

If the bill were made law, a contract for $2.50 per day would not be binding. It was decided to wait until the next meeting before awarding contract for the ensuing year. Bids for laying cement gutters on South Citron street according to specifications on file in City Engineer Steward's office, were received as follows: T. F. Morgan $720, C. E. Chamberlain 16 cents per square foot, $754, and Adolph Stankey $722.56. The contract was awarded to Mr. Morgan. Chas. Federman presented a petition asking that he be allowed to remove the hitching posts at present in front of his store, and replace them with posts 10 feet in height, to be surmounted by a small sign. As the hitching post ordinance forbids anything of this sort, a copy of the ordinance was ordered sent to Mr. Federman. William McLauchlin appeared before the board on behalf of the Young Men's Christian Association of Anaheim, asking in regard to the city's supplying water for the swimming pool soon to be erected on the association's lots on South Philadelphia street. "At present," he said, "we understand that it is necessary to take water from the mains and flush the sewer pipes running through the city every few days. I am here to ask you if you can see your way clear to supply this swimming pool, which is to be probably 60 by 20 feet, and ranging in depth from 3 to 7 feet, with water from the city system, and then use the water when needed to flush the sewer pipes; in that way getting the use of the water after it has been enjoyed by the boys. The The question of county participation is being rapidly taken up by the chambers of commerce and boards of trade and commissioners of every county. As an instance of what is being planned by the individual sections, Marin county on San Francisco bay has engaged close to 2,000 square feet in which to display its advantages as a suburban and country home district. This space is apportioned between the various land holding interests who recognize the opportunity afforded by the Land Show to reach by direct contact a quarter of a million prospective land seekers. Among other counties whose representation at the show is already assured are Nevada, Modoc, Glenn, Yolo, and Mariposa. The great empire counties of the Sacramento and San Joaquin valleys will have as one of their most interesting displays topographical models, faithful reproductions in every detail of the giant reclamation and irrigation projects that are making garden spots of hitherto undeveloped portions of these districts. The vast stretches of fertile land in these two greatest valleys of the state offer limitless opportunity for the exploitation the land shows will provide. Celery being shipped from season.

A county system costing $1,270,000, is also built, and will connect one of the most important county. ANAHEIM GAZETTE BOARD OF TRADE ISSUES NEW BOOKLET NEATLY PRINTED BOOK OF ANAHEIM AND VICINITY CONTAINS MANY PHOTOGRAPHS HISTORICAL DESCRIPTION OF THE MOTHER COLONY, BUSIEST CITY OF ITS CLASS ON THE COAST The board of trade has issued 5,000 handsomely illustrated booklets descriptive of Anaheim and vicinity. The pamphlet is encased in a neat green cover, having on its title page the words, "Anaheim, California," in gilt embossed letters. The book contains many photographs of scenes in and about the city and is filled with writings of the different industries flourishing here. Especial reference is made to the equable climate of this frostless valley, where the Valencia orange grows to ideal perfection. The books will be distributed throughout the East, one gentleman having asked for 1,000 copies for distribution among his friends in other states who are looking to this section for a future home. The book is one of the handsomest as well as the most interesting ever issued by any board of trade in Southern California, and cannot fail to have excellent effect among the thousands of homeseekers now turning their faces hitherward in search of homes in this favored land. Copies may be obtained on application to J. W. Duckworth, who had personal charge of the printing of the pamphlet, as well as from other members of the board of trade. From the introduction, we take the following interesting account descriptive of the "Mother Colony." El Camino Real, the ancient pathway of the padres, which links the missions together, passes through Anaheim. It is the favorite route of autoists touring the coast, hundreds of parties traveling up and down its length daily. One of the improvements of which Anaheim is justly proud is her splendid sidewalks, and her paved streets. Nearly thirty miles of concrete walk have been laid, and all the principal business streets are paved with the best asphalt pavement in use. That Anaheim possesses the most salubrious, equable and most glorious climate on earth is attested by people living here, who have spent much time in traveling in France and Italy in search of a spot where they might regain their health and prolong their days, and who declare upon locating here that this locality offers superior advantages in these respects to the most far-famed European health resort. Our winters are warmer and our summers cooler than obtains on the Riviera. Situate 12 miles from the ocean, the valley is bathed daily in delightful sea breezes which blow up from the magic isles of the Pacific and cross the bosom of the ocean from points thousands upon thousands of miles distant. These breezes are revitalizing and most pleasant, and add a charm to existence here which makes outdoor life idyllic. They temper the warmer days of summer, and while localities further inland experience at times spells of torrid temperature, the thermometer here rarely rises above 80 degrees. During the warmest days of summer, cooling fogs sweep in from the sea which add to delights of existence here. On the other hand, our winter climate is warmer by 15 or 20 degrees than obtains in valleys further inland. Thus we have climatic conditions so equable that this frostless valley has become known throughout the world as the great Valencia orange district. These oranges fetch the top-notch price in the eastern market, being forwarded at a time when there are no other oranges offered for sale, and securing the cream of the Thanksgiving and holiday trade. Similarly, these climatic conditions conspire to make this also the greatest walnut growing district on earth. While walnuts are indiginous here, the trees growing to mammoth proportions and bearing heavily, they are yet a tender tree, and cannot survive the hot summer weather and the frosts of winter. Two Scotchmen were out one very cold day. One had no ear-muffs and was rubbing his ears vigorously. "Sandy, mon," said the other, "I wonder you would na wear yer ear muffs."

Copies may be obtained on application to J. W. Duckworth, who had personal charge of the printing of the pamphlet, as well as from other members of the board of trade. From the introduction, we take the following interesting account descriptive of the "Mother Colony." California is the land of sunshine and of flowers, the delight of the tourist and the goal of the homeseeker. Every man, woman and child who has heard of the wonders of the Golden State will make an effort sooner or later to visit this beautiful land of Romance, the land of perpetual spring, with its equable climate and its historic missions. These missions, reminiscent of the heroism of the padres and the establishment of Christianity on the Pacific Coast before the Declaration of Independence was adopted, extend in a chain from San Diego to San Francisco, a distance of more than 600 miles. California is, without doubt, the paradise of America, and when the tourist or homeseeker reaches Orange county he is in heart of the Garden of Eden. In this Garden of Eden is located the subject of our sketch, the most flourishing, most active, busiest little city in the Golden State, namely—Anaheim, the Mother Colony. Anaheim is situated in the fertile valley of the Santa Ana river, midway between the Pacific ocean and the Sierra Madre mountains. It is 27 miles southeast of Los Angeles and is reached by both the Santa Fe and Southern Pacific railroads. The Pacific Electric company contemplates the extension of its interurban system by the construction of a line through Anaheim, giving it direct connection with Los Angeles, and quick and easy access to beach points. The city is surrounded by highly improved and profit-yielding farms. To the northeast are the famous Placentia orange orchards, from which shipments of oranges are made all year round, commanding the highest prices the market affords; on the southwest are great walnut groves; berries and extensive truck farming to the southeast, and sugar beets, alfalfa and dairying to the west. Further southwest are the famous celery fields of the peatlands, 2,100 carloads of Golden Celery being shipped from there last season. Toward the foothills are hundreds upon hundreds of producing oil wells, employing thousands of men. In fact, this field has become so important a factor in the oil industry, that many of the larger oil companies now operating in the state have recently taken up large leases and started many wells, with more extensive operations to follow. Large oil stations and pipe lines are now being constructed by several large companies, which bid fair to make this oil field one of the most important in the United States. ley has become known throughout the world as the great Valencia orange district. These oranges fetch the top-notch price in the eastern market, being forwarded at a time when there are no other oranges offered for sale, and securing the cream of the Thanksgiving and holiday trade. Similarly, these climatic conditions conspire to make this also the greatest walnut growing district on earth. While walnuts are indigous here, the trees growing to mammoth proportions and bearing heavily, they are yet a tender tree, and cannot survive the hot summer weather and the frosts of winter which are found at a distance removed from 50 miles or more from the ocean. That these climatic conditions are also the most healthful on earth is a fact that is absolutely beyond dispute. To the reader whose eyes fall upon these pages, an invitation is extended to come to Anaheim and visit. So many people have come here recently, only to make up their minds to remain here permanently, that they remind the writer of the fable of the Oriental traveler and the Lotus tree, who having once eaten of its fruit, would fain live forever by its side. One of our leading citizens made six trips to California from the East before locating. He took the California fever on his first visit, and came again and again until, having returned to his home in the east and been required to wear a double overcoat to save himself from freezing, he decided to come here and spend the remainder of his days in this delightful spot. The reader is invited to come here and see for himself. We are prepared to show him the greatest valley on earth, free from frosts in winter, with no unusually warm weather in summer time, and with a greater abundance of pure water than can be found elsewhere in the glorious climate of California. The latchstring hangs without. A cordial welcome awaits you among the most hospitable people who ever lived. The Benchley Fruit Company of Fullerton, has brought suit for $298 against T. A. Winbigler as administrator of the estate of James A. Irvin, a West Orange fruit grower who died a few months ago. The complaint states that on November 11, 1911, Irvin signed a contract of sale of about 800 boxes of Washington navels to the Benchley company, receiving $100 down. On May 15, 1912, $100 was paid and an extension of time granted. The complaint asserts that when the company went to pick the fruit it was found that Irvin had delivered it to some other concern. Judgment of $298 is asked. Insure your tires with Sure Shop Tire Compound. Will positively eliminate the trouble of punctures. P. J. Welsel & Co., agents, Anaheim and Placentia. NOBODY SPARED Kidney Troubles Attack Anaheim Men Celery being shipped from there last season. Toward the foothills are hundreds upon hundreds of producing oil wells, employing thousands of men. In fact, this field has become so important a factor in the oil industry, that many of the larger oil companies now operating in the state have recently taken up large leases and started many wells, with more extensive operations to follow. Large oil stations and pipe lines are now being constructed by several large companies, which bid fair to make this oil field one of the most important in the United States. All the above territory is tributary to Anaheim, which explains why the Mother Colony is the busiest little city in the State of California. The underground water supply of Anaheim and the immediate surrounding territory is inexhaustible, insuring cheap and unlimited water for irrigation purposes. More pumping plants have been erected and more water is being raised from the earth here than in any other section of the world. Many miles of concrete irrigating ditches stretch throughout the land, carrying this water to all sections and to every acre needing it. Another advantage which Anaheim is able to offer is its freedom from frost. While other sections of the southland are subject to periodical visitations of cold weather which make the growing of citrus fruits and other products hazardous and uncertain, Anaheim lies within the frostless valley and is practically free from danger of this character. The coldest wave ever recorded here caused little or no loss to the growers of Anaheim and its contiguous territory. The great state highway, on which $18,000,000 is being expended, passes through Anaheim, and construction work on the local section will shortly begin. A county system of highways, costing $1,270,000, is also soon to be built, and will connect Anaheim with the most important points of the county. Insure your tires with Sure Shop Tire Compound.
