COUNTY DIVISION BEFORE PUBLIC AGAIN EARLY DAY AGITATION RENEWED FOR SEPARATING FROM LOS ANGELES POLITICALLY OTHER ITEMS OF INTEREST PERSONAL ABOUT OLD-TIME RESIDENTS OF ANAHEIM (From Gazette, January 31, 1874) County Division A petition has been in circulation in the southern portion of the county during the past month, asking the legislature to create a new county from the southeastern part of Los Angeles county. It is well known that the desire to form two counties out of the present one is strongly felt with but very few exceptions by every one living south of the New San Gabriel river. It is admitted also that the reasons which have created this desire are based on good and substantial foundations. Even the city of Los Angeles itself acknowledges that no benefit accrues to the country precincts by the union of two communities so directly at variance, and objects to the division only on account of the diminution of its income which would follow as a natural result. In short, there is every good reason why the county should be divided, and there can be nothing argued against the measure except that the section wishing to secede, cannot wield the moneyed influence which can be exerted in opposing it.

Many of already begun to bear fruit will prove their value during months and years. Once the purchase of a Ford which makes it possible retary to cover the territory charge much more efficiently has been in use only three fiscal year, it has no full chance to demonstrate its usefulness and efficiency applied many times. Another step in advance taken in co-operation with three organized counties California in the securing county work secretary. Gratifying It is pleasurable to note the favor with which Anaheim wines are being gradually received into the Eastern wine marts. The firm of B. Dreyfus & Company has given them a strong foothold in New York, but we were not aware until recently that any attention was paid by outside parties to the introduction of our vintage to public favor. We were shown yesterday a letter from a St. Louis liquor firm addressed to F. A. Korn & Company, ordering an invoice of their native port and white wines, stating the prices which they could pay profitable to themselves. Of course it would be a breach of confidence to mention figures, but we can say this much: That the terms offered are largely in advance of any quotations which we have heretofore soon and are such as will ship was accepted. The chairman and clerk of this board were authorized to make demand on the Guardian Casualty & Guaranty Co. for payment on the bond of R. L. Hogue, who failed to perform his contract on the Fifth street bridge. The petition of Jerome Fulsom to lay a pipe line across Ocean avenue in Garden Grove road district was granted.

M., to give the highway commission time to investigate. The board adjourned to May 26, 1913, at 3 P. M. W. B. WILLIAMS, Clerk of the Board of Supervisors. THE ABSENT CREDITOR In recent years the farmers of the West have rejoiced at getting out of the debtor class. Not so long ago the farmlands of that territory were blanketed with mortgages that were held in Philadelphia, Boston, New York, and other Eastern cities. The East was the creditor of the West; and to the East the West shipped a considerable proportion of its earnings to meet interest payments. These loans were part of a natural and desirable arrangement. The East, being the older community, had the established fortunes from which these loans might be drawn. The West had the real estate collateral, but needed the quick money of the East for its improvement. Eastern money, therefore, and Western brawn combined for the development of the Prairie States. During the year regular Young Men's Christian have carried on work in Alberton, Garden Grove and with a total membership of a third or whom are boys years of age. In several C. A. Bible classes have been in connection with the day school sessions, these Placentia, Old Newport, Vine Cypress. At Orange a Bill been organized among the high school, and has met hour. At Garden Grove a has been held regularly, and the association building. A Bible class of boys has by a high school teacher. Five groups of young men preparing to hold religious for men and boys, and have held gospel meeting points, among these being Huntington Beach, Talbern port, Fullerton, Garden Grocienia. A group of student colleges of Southern California very effective meetings Christmas vacation period Grove. Many other religions during the year have been the auspices of the assis Santa Ana, Garden Grocienia. During the month of boys from the county camp at Catalina Island operation with the county of San Bernardino county of boys were converted and the good influence of Christian life inspired over two weeks together has factor in many lives during addition to meeting in the camp had a small balance adding to the permanent leaders attended the summer at the camp site and mankind and much help was received association work. Twenty high school boys attended the annual c older boys of Southern and five attended the state These left their tion was paid by outside parties to the introduction of our vintage to public favor. We were shown yesterday a letter from a St. Louis liquor firm addressed to F. A. Korn & Company, ordering an invoice of their native port and white wines, stating the prices which they could pay profitable to themselves. Of course it would be a breach of confidence to mention figures, but we can say this much: That the terms offered are largely in advance of any quotations which we have heretofore seen, and are such as will afford to the producer and winemaker a most remunerative price for their labor. It is also stated in the letter that Anaheim wines meet with more favor in St. Louis than any other California vintage. (From Gazette, February 7, 1874) Born—February 2nd, to the wife of H. Knapke, a daughter. Married—February 4th at the residence of the bride's mother by Rev. E. B. Kellogg, D. D., Richard Melrose and Miss Mary Kuchel. Mr. Hartung has met with a sad misfortune. He possessed a beautiful young orange tree, just budding into maturity, and upon which were 13 large and magnificent oranges. On Saturday night a parcel of rude boys (who by the by are known) despoiled the pride of the old man. It would be wise for them not to repeat the performance. Max Nebelung, the popular proprietor of the Anaheim hotel, has sent to San Francisco for a billiard table. An average expert at that noble game can now have "a soft thing on Max." On last Monday little Johnny Rimpau whilst vomiting, ejected a water-creditor of the West; and to the East the West shipped a considerable proportion of its earnings to meet interest payments. These loans were part of a natural and desirable arrangement. The East, being the older community, had the established fortunes from which these loans might be drawn. The West had the real estate collateral, but needed the quick money of the East for its improvement. Eastern money, therefore, and Western brawn combined for the development of the Prairie States. Nevertheless, Western farmers were anxious to become financially independent of the East as soon as possible by paying off these loans. In recent years the farmer has prospered. Land and crop values have increased, and the West finds itself free from the mortgages which once plastered the farms of that region. There is no likelihood that Western farmers will again become the debtors of an absent creditor to any great extent, unless they shall generally follow the policy now being followed by a few. If the farmer sends his money to the centers of population when he desires to buy goods, reducing the volume of money at home, he will, of course, again find himself in the position of debtor to an absent creditor. The money that he will require will have to be furnished him by the financial centers to which he has sent it. Therefore, in sending out of the community the money which should remain at home for the use of himself and neighbors, he is effecting present and doubtful economy at the expense of tighter money later on. Don't get discouraged because someone knocks your ideas for bettering Anaheim. If there are any skeptics, convert them. Our secretary has worked with the teachers on mar schools of the county duct of the Orange County League, which has pledged and girls not to use tobacco and to discourage the use of it. As a part of its work in "muscle, mind, and moral" courageous school-yard athletic boys and active play-grouns the girls. The direction of which has come through the helped very materially schools, and many teachers the help it has been to influence of the talks pupils along temperance bacco lines, coupled with agement given along action not be measured.

Under the direction of secretary the boy scout was promoted, with the result patrols are now in active Monthly trips to various bined with contests have interest and encouraged the study of such things as first aid to the injured, sysisthenics, study of stars and encouragement has been doing of the daily good truth asked of every boo ADVANCE STEPS TAKEN IN COUNTY M. C. A. COMMITTEE ISSUES REPORT SHOWING PROGRESS OF WORK DURING PAST YEAR GREAT GOOD HAS BEEN DONE AMONG BOYS AND GIRLS IN TRIANGLE LEAGUE The annual report of the chairman of the county committee of the Young Men's Christian Association and the county secretary, showing progress of the association's work throughout the county for the year ending April 30, was read at the convention held in this city last week, and was received with applause by those present. The report reads as follows: During the year just closed we feel that many advance steps have been taken by the Young Men's Christian Association of the county, and by the county committee. Many of these have already begun to bear fruit, and others will prove their value during the coming months and years. One of these is the purchase of a Ford automobile, which makes it possible for our secretary to cover the territory in his charge much more efficiently. As this has been in use only three months of this fiscal year, it has not yet had a full chance to demonstrate its usefulness. For the 18 months since Mr. Hamilton has been acting as our secretary only the last three has he had proper means of conveyance, and we believe that with this automobile his usefulness and efficiency can be multiplied many times. Another step in advance has been taken in co-operation with the other three organized counties in Southern California in the securing of a group encouragement of this work in co-operation with the national council of the boys scouts of America, of which President Woodrow Wilson is honorary president and Col. Roosevelt and Professor Taft are honorary vice-presidents, all desire for union with the other and military scout movement has been kept out. This work in Orange county will continue to be non-military and character building, and will depend upon getting earnest Christian men to act as leaders. During the year a start was made on a county lecture course to provide good clean entertainments for the young people, and from the encouragement given to it in most places it seems evident that there is a work to be done along this line. At the present time three buildings are owned by the Young Men's Christian Association of the county, the third having just been completed in Anaheim. None of these are yet free from debt, and it shall be one of the objects of this committee to assist in accomplishing this work as soon as practical. We desire to take this opportunity to express our thanks to the many good friends of the boys and young men of the county who have shown their interest in our work by giving of their means to make this work possible. Not only have all the regular expenses of the year been met, but also the county auto has been paid for and the report of the treasure of the committee shows all bills paid and a small balance to start the new fiscal year. We desire, however, to remind our subscribers that we shall need their continued support during the coming year in just as large measure as formerly, as there are more boys and young men in the county needing our help than ever before. It is the earnest desire of the committee to see the entire amount needed for the work of the year subscribed soon so that the rest of the year may be devoted to the real work of the associations. We feel that during the coming year more emphasis should be laid in each point of the county on Bible study, the foundation of all that is best in character building, and to more aggressive efforts to lead men and boys to Christ, and to develop more leaders in Christian service.

Dated this 7th day of May, A. D. 1913. MARIE STREHLE, Administrator of The Estate of A. E. Strehle, Deceased. (5-8-5) Notice of Co-Partnership Know all men by these presents, that they Another step in advance has been taken in co-operation with the other three organized counties in Southern California in the securing of a group county work secretary to assist the county secretaries of these four counties in their many duties. His duty will be to assist in every way possible to make this work more effective, helping to raise the finances, bringing the best ideas from the other counties, acting as advisor, and helping locally when advisable and possible. The small amount this adds to the budget will be more than offset by the increased effectiveness of the work. During the year regularly organized Young Men's Christian Associations have carried on work in Anaheim, Fulerton, Garden Grove and Santa Ana, with a total membership of 845, about third of whom are boys below 16 years of age. In several points Y. M. A. Bible classes have been conducted in connection with the regular Sunday school sessions, these places being Placentia, Old Newport, Villa Park and Ypres. At Orange a Bible class has been organized among the boys of the high school, and has met at the noon hour. At Garden Grove a Bible class has been held regularly, meeting at the association building. At Anaheim Bible class of boys has been taught by a high school teacher. Five groups of young men have been preparing to hold religious meetings for men and boys, and four of these have held gospel meetings at various points, among these being Anaheim, Huntington Beach, Talbert, Old Newport, Fullerton, Garden Grove and Placentia. A group of students from the colleges of Southern California held very effective meetings during the Christmas vacation period at Garden Grove. Many other religious meetings during the year have been held under the auspices of the associations at Santa Ana, Garden Grove and Anaheim. During the month of August 49 boys from the county attended the camp at Catalina Island held in cooperation with the county committee of San Bernardino county. A number of boys were converted at this camp and the good influence of the earnest Christian life inspired during these two weeks together has been a great factor in many lives during the year. In addition to meeting all expenses the camp had a small balance to use in adding to the permanent equipment. A number of committeemen and adult leaders attended the summer institute at the camp site and many good ideas and much help was received for the association work. Twenty high school boys and leaders attended the annual convention of the older boys of Southern California, and five attended the state convention. These have left their influence for just as large measure as formerly, as there are more boys and young men in the county needing our help than ever before. It is the earnest desire of the committee to see the entire amount needed for the work of the year subscribed soon so that the rest of the year may be devoted to the real work of the associations. We feel that during the coming year more emphasis should be laid in each point of the county on Bible study, the foundation of all that is best in character building, and to more aggressive efforts to lead men and boys to Christ, and to develop more leaders in Christian service. With renewed loyalty to the Young Men's Christian Association, and appreciation of what it is doing for the men and boys throughout the world, we desire to go forward in our work together to make this the best year in our history, and the most effective in reaching men and boys for the Kingdom of God. Respectfully submitted, GEO. B. KEY, County Chairman, R. J. HAMILTON, County Sec. RABBITS SOON TO BE UNPROTECTED Cannot Now Be Shot Until Latter Part of July When Open Season Commences The legislature has passed a law putting rabbits on the list of unprotected game. The impression has gone out among local sportsmen that rabbits may be killed now, that the law has already gone into effect. That is not the case. The law will not go into effect until 90 days after the adjournment of the legislature. That would put the date of the beginning of the operation of the new law at August 11. However, before that time the open season for rabbits under the old law will have commenced. The open season for the cottontail and bush rabbits has been from July 31 to February 1. Jack-rabbits have been on the unprotected list under the old law, the protection offered being for cottontails and bush rabbits. It was expected that the law would be repealed, as in the past few years in some parts of the state the rabbits have multiplied so rapidly that they are over-running the grain and hay fields. Several weeks ago a movement was started to have the law repealed so that the rabbits could be thinned out in all sections. As soon as the sportsmen get them thinned out so that they will be in danger of extermination protection will probably be given them again. This county suffered no great affliction from the increase of rabbits. Know all men by these presents, that the undersigned, Albert Muckenthaler, whose place of residence is No. 305 Resh street, in the City of Anaheim, County of Orange, State of California, and Geo. Bishop, whose place of residence is No. 201 East Center street, in the City of Anaheim, County of Orange, State of California, are co-partners transacting business in the State under the name and style of "Boston Bakery." That the principal place of business of the co-partnership composed of the said Albert Muckenthaler and Geo. Bishop, is Anaheim, Orange County, California. Witness our hands and seals this 1st day of May, 1913. ALBERT MUCKENTHALER, (Seal) GEO. BISHOP, (Seal) STATE OF CALIFORNIA, County of Orange, On this 1st day of May in the year of our Lord one thousand nine hundred and thirteen, before me, Homer G. Ames, a notary public in and for the County of Orange, State of California, residing therein, duly commissioned, and sworn personally appeared Albert Muckenthaler and Geo. Bishop, known to be to be the persons described in and whose names are subscribed to the foregoing instrument, and they acknowledged to me that they executed the same. In witness whereof I have hereunto set my hand and affixed my official seal the day and year in this certificate first above written. HOMER G. AMES, Notary Public in and for Orange County, California. (Notarial Seal.) and the good influence of the earnest Christian life inspired during these two weeks together has been a great factor in many lives during the year. In addition to meeting all expenses the camp had a small balance to use in adding to the permanent equipment. A number of committeemen and adult leaders attended the summer institute at the camp site and many good ideas and much help was received for the association work. Twenty high school boys and leaders attended the annual convention of the older boys of Southern California, and five attended the state convention. These have left their influence for good and have done their share in training leaders for the county work. Our secretary has worked in co-operation with the teachers of the grammar schools of the county in the conduct of the Orange County Triangle League, which has pledged 1,875 boys and girls not to use tobacco or liquor, and to discourage the use of profanity. As a part of its work in building up "muscle, mind, and morals," it has encouraged school-yard athletics for the boys and active play-ground games for the girls. The direction of recess time which has come through this work has helped very materially in many schools, and many teachers testify to the help it has been to them. The influence of the talks given to the pupils along temperance and anti-tobacco lines, coupled with the encouragement given along active lines can not be measured. The track meets have been conducted for members with an idea to encouraging the average school boy in his physical development rather than for the expert athlete who already has enough encouragement. Under the direction of the county secretary the boy scout work has been promoted, with the result that seven patrols are now in active operation. Monthly trips to various points combined with contests have kept up the interest and encouraged the boys in the study of such things as bandaging, first aid to the injured, systematic calisthenics, study of stars and trees, and encouragement has been given to the doing of the daily good turn or kindly deed asked of every boy scout.
