FOURTH OF JULY CELEBRATION A HUMMER MANAGERS COMPLETE ARRANGEMENTS AND PROVIDE MANY ATTRACTIONS AN "OLD-FASHIONED" FOURTH, WITH ENTERTAINMENT FOR ALL, IS PROMISED An "old-fashioned" celebration is the title given to the affair which the instigators and promoters have arranged for the entertainment of Anaheim and its visitors tomorrow. All the ancient stunts which our fathers and mothers were wont to look forward to with anticipatory thrills and witness with joy have been provided, with a few modern frills added. The pink lemonade, the peanuts, the popcorn, gingerbread and other dainties that used to gladden the hearts and impair the digestion of patriotic Americans every Fourth of July will be abundant. The soaped pole with a purse on its apex, the greased pig, the races of various kinds, from a fat men's foot race of 50 yards to a boys' tricycle contest, have been staged, and will add to the hilarity of the day. Parades, callthumpians, pat-and night. Nothing of an objectionable nature has been engaged or will be permitted, the shows all being clean and worthy of patronage. The Board of Trustees gave permission to use the Central school grounds for the occasion. The speakers' stand will be erected under its shady trees and the races will take place on Cypress street adjoining the grounds on the north. The trenches for the barbecue have been excavated on the vacant lots opposite the school house, and seats and tables planted beneath the pines and pepper trees on the campus. The Eagles' hall will be converted into a rest room, the doors being thrown open all day, and visitors, especially ladies and children, are cordially invited to take advantage of its comfortable seats. Besides the regular program and the shows provided by the committee, there will be numerous stunts and attractions scattered about the city, but nothing will be permitted that can offend the moral sensibilities of the most fastidious. PRETTY WEDDING AT BUENA PARK Miss Ruth Hardin Becomes Bride of Young Los Angeles Business Man A very pretty wedding took place at the Congregational church in Buena Park on Wednesday evening, June 25, GATES WILL ENDAVOR TINGEN INTERNATIONAL MEE SOCIATIONS IN LOS NEXT WEEK THIRTY THOUSAND MECTED TO BE PRESTED TO BE PRESENTED TO ALL OVER WORLD Howard Gates, president ofange County Christian League, is making preparations for a delegation of 750 Orangdeavorers to the international association which Los Angeles this week comprehensive exhibit oty products, which will finest on the grounds.

The convention of 1913 has everywhere as one of have been provided, with a few modern frills added. The pink lemonade, the peanuts, the popcorn, gingerbread and other dainties that used to gladden the hearts and impair the digestion of patriotic Americans every Fourth of July will be abundant. The soaped pole with a purse on its apex, the greased pig, the races of various kinds, from a fat men's foot race of 50 yards to a boys' tricycle contest, have been staged, and will add to the hilarity of the day. Parades, callithumpians, patriotic orations, games of every description, athletic sports and unlimited music are listed on the program, and barbecued meats and fish will be free to all who care to partake. In the evening a grand fireworks display is promised, the confetti battle be on, and dancing can be indulged in by all who care for that sport, as dances will be in progress both at the opera house and the Eagles' hall. Prizes will be awarded the winners in all athletic contests, races, etc., and also for the best decorated automobiles and buggies in the morning parade. It will be a safe and sane Fourth, also, to a certain extent, as the exuberant small boy will feel the mailed fist of authority descend upon him should he attempt to exhibit his pyrotechnics within a proscribed district, or at any point where danger from fire is considered imminent. Chief Kellenberger and his aids are authorized to use their own discretion in this matter and to see that the danger is reduced to a minimum. This precaution was deemed necessary by the city trustees owing to the temporary scarcity of water now being lifted from the municipal wells. Anaheim's business men have financed the celebration and ample funds were subscribed within a few hours to insure its unhampered success. Anaheim Aerie, No. 947, Fraternal Order of Eagles, assumed charge of the affair, and the active management is in the hands of Harry Harris, chairman of the committee on arrangements, and his efficient assistants, Fred Dyckman, Vic Lamont, Billy Lake and Frank Fox, secretary of the order. These men have been working overtime to secure stunts and actors and arrange details, and they think entertainment has been provided for all. The program of the principal features of the day is as follows: 10 A. M.—Parade on Center street, starting at the high school, decorated autos and buggies in line. 11 A. M.—Bicycle races on Cypress street north of Central school grounds. Races for boys under 16 years. 11:30—Foot races of all kinds for fastidious. PRETTY WEDDING AT BUENA PARK Miss Ruth Hardin Becomes Bride of Young Los Angeles Business Man A very pretty wedding took place at the Congregational church in Buena Park on Wednesday evening, June 25, when Miss Ruth M. Hardin and Harold S. Covey were united in holy matrimony. All the stiffness and formality of the usual church wedding were discarded and the small party consisting only of the immediate relatives were grouped naturally around the altar when Miss Martin, presiding at the organ, played the "Barcolle." Again the organ responded and the soft, sweet tones of "Oh, Promise Me" floated out as the bridal party entered. Miss Agnes Hardin, sister of the bride, was maid of honor, while the groom was attended by Girard Noe Farlin of Los Angeles. The bride was charming in a white crepe de chine gown draped with lace and carried lilies of the valley, while the maid of honor was gowned in delicate pink and carried pink bride's roses. Rev. Thomas L. Dyer, of Albuquerque, New Mexico, read the beautiful and impressive ceremony which united the two young lives. After the ceremony the party repaired to the delightful home of Mr. and Mrs. Hardin where a delicious wedding supper was served. The decorations were carried out in pink and white as at the church, the bride's table being in pure white with softly shaded candles. The wedding was beautiful in its simplicity and informality. The bride is a very popular young woman of many accomplishments and the groom is a promising young business man of Los Angeles. After a short motor trip they will be at home to their many friends at 1733 West 51st street, Los Angeles. The elegant bride's cake for this wedding came all the way from Nebraska and was made by Mrs. Hardin's mother. Mrs. J. F. Simpson is spending several days with friends at Balboa. I. D.

ANOTHER JUNE MARRIAGE SOLEMNIZED Miss Anna B. Schumacher and Elmo L. Calkins Are Married At the home of the bride's brother-in-law and sister, Mr. and Mrs. John Eyman, on Wednesday, June 25, Miss Anna B. Schumacher was united in marriage to Elmo L. Calkins, Rev. Spaeth, of the German Methodist church, officiating. Only a limited number of the relatives and friends of the parties were COUNTY SHOULD PROTECT THE BRIDGE ASSOCIATION ADOPTS RESOLUTION ASKING IMMEDIATE WORK ON OLIVE STRUCTURE MEETING AT FULLERTON TUESDAY NIGHT TAKES IMPORTANT STEPS IN MATTER A most important step toward the beginning of work upon the $60,000 concrete bridge over the Santa Ana river at Olive was taken Tuesday night when, at a meeting of the Northern Orange County Protective Association held in Fullerton, a resolution was adopted that the association, on behalf of the taxpayers of northern Orange county, urge the county board of supervisors to commence immediate work upon erection of the structure. This step was taken after a lengthy discussion in which all sides of the question were brought out. This means that taxpayers of the entire northern portion of Orange county who are represented in the protective association, have united in asking that the Olive bridge, over which so much discussion has been had within the past few months, and that the experience which no amount of those cussion Quartons Fullerton R. Copper Bishop o A resurging process which no eral month to present or at the Eygabroth rich and W. T. Berton, and other little later the super forming miserable being tax only waft to do the bridge. The river bridge he thought will be sary promittee at the meet visors and the claimation, and tire port comprehensive exhibit of Orange county products, which will be one of the finest on the grounds. With 30,000 young people brought together from various parts of the world, all imbued with a common purpose, singing the same songs, enthusiastic for the cause of Christianity, taking possession of a city there will be a convention atmosphere such as is found nowhere else. The Los Angeles convention of 1913 has been heralded everywhere as one of the red-letter events in the history of this remarkable organization. The official program is about to be issued and is a stupendous thing. Printed in a newspaper it would require more than a page of solid type to enumerate all the events arranged between Wednesday evening, July 9, and Monday, July 14. If any one person were to attend all the meetings in a consecutive program it would require months. Many meetings will be held simultaneously in various churches, as no one auditorium could accommodate all of the visitors. Even the immense canvas auditorium, seating 10,000 people, it is feared, will prove inadequate for the big night meetings, at which the convention orchestra and the convention chorus of 1,000 voices will be the big attractions. One week from Tuesday night the chorus and orchestra, with a number of the leading soloists of the city, will give a concert at Auditorium Endeavor as a sort of dedicatory program. This will be open to the public on paid admission. On Wednesday the time will be chiefly occupied in meeting the many special trains and incoming delegations and escorting them to headquarters. The formal opening of the convention will take place Wednesday evening. The programs for the evening and those to follow in Auditorium Endeavor are as follows: Wednesday evening, opening session —President Francis E. Clark, D.D., L.L. D., presiding; Prof. Percy S. Foster, Washington, D.C., musical director; 7:30, overture by the orchestra; 7:45, opening service of praise, convention chorus; 8, service of Preparation and Prayer, Rev. W. Tucker, pastor of Calvary Baptist church, Los Angeles; 8:15, greeting to the convention, Leonard Merrill, chairman of the convention committee; from the churches, Rev. William Horace Day, First Congregational church; from the citizens, Mayor H. H. Rose; response, Rev. Francis E. Clark; anthem by chorus, Professor L. F. Peckham, director; Miss Anna B. Schumacher and Elmo L. Calkins Are Married At the home of the bride's brother-in-law and sister, Mr. and Mrs. John Eyman, on Wednesday, June 25, Miss Anna B. Schumacher was united in marriage to Elmo L. Calkins, Rev. Spaeth, of the German Methodist church, officiating. Only a limited number of relatives and friends of the parties were present. The cremony was performed at 2:30 P.M., following which a wedding dinner was partaken of by the guests. In the evening the newly married couple boarded the train for the south and expect to spend a week or two at San Diego. The groom has just completed a cottage in the southwest portion of the city, and on returning from their honeymoon trip Mr. and Mrs. Calkins will be at home to their friends there. The bride is a native of Anaheim, being the daughter of John L. Schumacher, one of the old residents of the city. The host of friends among whom she has grown to womanhood, and who esteem her for her many excellent qualities, extend hearty wishes for her future happiness in her new relationship. The groom has been a resident of Anaheim for a number of years. He is a member of the firm of Calkins & Son, prosperous business men of the west side. BILLINGS COMES BACK SATISFIED WITH HOME Visit to Wisconsin and Dakota Causes Him to Appreciate Anaheim C. G. Billings, who left here on May 25th on a visit to relatives and old-time friends in Wisconsin and North Dakota, with a few business transactions sandwiched between the visits; returned to his home in Anaheim last Wednesday. Mr. Billings spent two weeks of the time he was absent visiting a sister in Northern Wisconsin and the balance of the month was devoted to business interests and to the renewing of old acquaintanceships in the Red River valley of North Dakota. While there he disposed of a section of valuable wheat land and cleared other business interests off his calendar. If there was any lingering sentiment for the old home in his system when he left here it was wiped out by the visit. "I wouldn't live in that country again," said he, "for any consideration of the taxpayers of northern Orange county, urge the county board of supervisors to commence immediate work upon erection of the structure. This step was taken after a lengthy discussion in which all sides of the question were brought out. This means that taxpayers of the entire northern portion of Orange county who are represented in the protective association have united in asking that the Olive bridge, over which so much discussion has been had within the past few months, should be built at once by the county so that it will be ready for the building of the county good roads in that section, a work which should be taken up immediately. The meeting was attended by representatives of the Chambers of Commerce from Fullerton, Yorba Linda, La Habra, Buena Park and this city. W. T. Brown of Fullerton reported that the first activity of the association, that is, asking the supervisors to appropriate money for building good roads in La Habra valley if the residents there would bond themselves for a large sum, had been successful and the board had appropriated $15,000 to aid the ranchers in the La Habra road district who will bond themselves for $45,000 to complete the work of building 5½ miles of good roads connecting with the state highway and county good roads system in La Habra valley. While the state highway misses the town of La Habra by half a mile the road to be built will join on to the state road and will pass through the town of La Habra, connecting with the highway further on and continuing to the road through Brea Canyon to Pomona. Following the giving of this report, the matter of the Olive bridge was taken up. G. L. Dietrich, one of the delegates from Anaheim, in a short talk summed up the situation at and near the bridge, saying: The bridge will not have to be nearly so long as the wooden structure now standing. It seems to me it would well to cut down the bridge to a much shorter length and use the balance of the money in protecting the structure. The railroad bridge a mile and a quarter to the north has three spans of about75 feet each and if all the river water can come through that bridge, it ought to come through a bridge of the same length farther down the stream. It would not be such an expensive operation to drive a double row of piling from the railroad bridge to the Olive wagon bridge which would furnish sufficient protection and I believe it is the business of the county as a whole to 7:30, overture by the orchestra; 7:45, opening service of praise, convention chorus; 8, service of Preparation and Prayer, Rev. W. Tucker, pastor of Calvary Baptist church, Los Angeles; 8:15, greeting to the convention, Leonard Merrill, chairman of the convention committee; from the churches, Rev.

Francis E. Clark; 8:30, Treasurer's statement, "An Efficient Financial System," H. N. Lathrop, treasurer of the United Society of Christian Endeavor; 8:40, Anthem by the chorus; 8:45, General Secretary's Report, "A Demonstration of Practical Efficiency," William Shaw, general secretary. Friday evening—Magnificent electrical parade, given by the citizens of Los Angeles; Christian Endeavor parade, delegations marching by States and nations. 9 P. M.—Grand concert of special convention music, orchestra, chorus and convention soloists; general praise service. Friday evening and Monday at noon, ing a sister in Northern Wisconsin and the balance of the month was devoted to business interests and to the renewing of old acquaintanceships in the Red River valley of North Dakota. While there he disposed of a section of valuable wheat land and cleared other business interests off his calendar. If there was any lingering sentiment for the old home in his system when he left here it was wiped out by the visit. "I wouldn't live in that country again," said he, "for any consideration you might offer. The days are extremely hot and the nights absolutely intolerable because of the heat and mosquitoes. I am satisfied to spend my days in Anaheim where the nights are cool and the days pleasant." Mr. Billings encountered many washouts in Wisconsin delaying his journey considerably, and found a drouth in Dakota which was damaging the crops. As will be noticed by the advertisement of the Orange County Realty Company, published in another column, this enterprising firm is proving that the times are not so dull as some people would have us think. George Ross, one of the members of the firm, reports business booming for his company, and to back up his statements shows the figures of the past 60 days' business. A total of 16 deals have been made, the amounts involved totaling $138,080.00. This is a most creditable record and proves that this firm is among the top-notchers when it comes to closing deals in the real estate line. For further information, we refer to the adv. of the company on page four of this issue. The railroad bridge a mile and a quarter to the north has three spans of about75 feet each and if all the river water can come through that bridge, it ought to come through a bridge of the same length farther down the stream. It would not be such an expensive operation to drive a double row of piling from the railroad bridge to the Olive wagon bridge which would furnish sufficient protection and I believe it is the business of the county as a whole to take steps for the protection of the bridge, instead of saddling the cost for protection upon the district adjacent to the bridge. The bridge will be used by people of all the county and a lot of us think it ought to be protected by the county. I should not think that the setting of piling between the two bridges would cost more than to refloor the wooden bridge now in use, and if any accident should occur at the structure on account of the faulty condition of the bridge, it would be far better for the county to spend money in protecting a new and lasting bridge instead of spending it in paying damage suits which are liable to be brought if any accident should occur because of the poor condition of the present bridge. While one or two expressed the opinion that the county supervisors would not build the bridge unless a protection district were formed, the consensus of opinion was that as money had been voted by taxpayers of the county for construction of the Olive bridge and the building of the good road which would pass over the bridge, it was up to the county to go ahead and do this work for which money had been voted SHOULD NOT THE BRAGE PTS RESOLUTION WORK STRUCTURE BERTON TUESDAY IMPORTANT MATTER step toward the on the $60,000 the Santa Ana in Tuesday night of the Northern Active Association resolution wasation, on behalf northern Orange board of superimmediate work structure. This lengthy discussion of the question means that tax-northern portion are represented association, have the Olive bridge, discussion has just few months, and that then the county ought to bear the expense of protection of the bridge, which should not be such a very large amount after all. Those entering largely into the discussion were Mr. Dietrich and W. P. Quarton of this city, W. T. Brown of Fullerton, A. Nelson of Buena Park, S. R. Copeley of Fullerton and F. W. Bishop of La Habra. A resolution was finally adopted, urging that the board of supervisors proceed at once to build the bridge for which money had been voted for several months. The committee which is to present the matter to the supervisors at their meeting consisting of Chas. Eygabroad, V. U. Simpson, G. L. Deitrich and J. W. Duckworth of this city, W. T. Brown and S. R. Copeley of Fullerton, B. F. Porter of Orangethorpe and other members to be appointed a little later, will be instructed to show the supervisors that, as the attempt at forming a protection district failed so miserably there is small chance of its being taken up again, practically the only way remaining is for the county to do the work of protection for the bridge. Since $5,000 has been spent on the river in the past 20 years and the bridge has not been washed away, it is thought that not a very large amount will be required to furnish all necessary protection. The aforementioned committee appointed by the chairman of the meeting will go before the supervisors at their next meeting and put the claims of the protective association, and as they will represent the entire portion of northern Orange county, SIREN'S WARNING CAUSES MUCH EXCITEMENT FIRE ALARM SUNDAY MORNING CALLS PEOPLE FROM THEIR HOMES BLAZE PROVES TO BE ONLY THE CONSUMPTION OF A RUBBISH HEAP ON OLIVE STREET The dreadful bellow of the siren causes consternation and dismay in the minds of all who hear it at any time, but it is particularly disquieting at the present, when the shortage of the water supply makes the control of an incipient fire problematical. Shortly before 12 o'clock Sunday the alarm sounded, and before the last of the three signal blasts of the warning indicating that the fire was in the northeast quarter of the city, had died away, the fire laddies had requisitioned two automobiles, hooked hose carts to them, and were speeding to the eastward up Center street.

E. S. enjoyed a delightful evening at their regular meeting last week, when the local chapter was honored by a visit from Mrs. Minnie Hiner, grand marshal of the Grand Chapter of California in Los Angeles and other grand officers. Mrs. Hiner is a candidate for grand matron of the grand lodge and has many friends in this vicinity who are boosting for her candidacy. Officers and members of the order were present from El Monte, Buena Park and other chapters and more than 50 were present. Mr. and Mrs. F. W. Champion and Mrs. C. A. Clark were initiated into the order, the initiatory work being beautifully exemplified and was enjoyed by all. Following the regular lodge work a social hour was enjoyed and talks were given by several of the visiting members. Following this delicious refreshments were served and were enjoyed by all. An invitation has been extended to Buena Park chapter to attend the next meeting of the local chapter in July in a body, and a large party of members from that point will probably avail themselves of the invitation and will be present at that time. BRINGS SUIT TO RECOVER OFFD alarm sounded, and before the last of the three signal blasts of the warning indicating that the fire was in the hortheast quarter of the city, had died away, the fire laddies had requisitioned two automobiles, hooked hose carts to them, and were speeding to the eastward up Center street. The fire was discovered on Olive street, just opposite the rear of the opera house. An accumulation of rubbish in an old foundation for a residence which had been built many years ago and abandoned by the builder, was blazing merrily, but the fire was confined to its four walls. The firemen attached a hose to the hydrant at the corner of Center and Olive street, ran a line down to the vicinity of the blaze and guarded it until it burned itself out, but the water was not turned on. There was no necessity for wasting water unless the fire showed signs of endangering neighboring buildings. The fire originated from a pile of old newspapers and magazines which a neighbor had attempted to burn the previous day in the back yard. The papers refused to blaze, smoldered and the fire went out, as she supposed, but a breeze the following day revived the lingering sparks in the pile, fanned them into a blaze which was wafted to the rubbish heap. NEW BUSINESS FIRM READY FOR BUSINESS Erickson & Nowotney Purchase Louis Kroeger's Stock of Goods Al Erickson and Al Nowotney, two of Anaheim's young but experienced business men, have purchased the remnant of the L. Z. Kroeger clothing establishment, and are making extensive preparations to open up a first-class gents' furnishing house. The new firm expects to handle nothing but gents' furnishing goods, shoes and ready-made clothing being barred from the stock. The firm is now negotiating with one of the best and largest tailoring establishments in the United States and will shortly add a tailoring department to the store. The business will be conducted in the room hitherto occupied by Mr. Kroeger. A large additional stock of goods is now en route, and when it arrives one of the most complete stocks in the county will be on display. Messrs. Erickson and Nowotney are both well known in business circles of Anaheim and favorably so. The business will be thrown open to BRINGS SUIT TO RECOVER DEED J. H. Boney Accused of Securing Signature to Deeds Unlawfully A suit has been filed by John Friend and his wife Antonio against J. H. Boney for the restoration of certain property in this city which it is alleged was obtained by fraud. The complaint states that in 1907, a certain property belonging to the Friends was in the wife's name, and that while Friend was absent from the state, Boney secured a deed through fraud. This was accomplished, the complaint sets forth, by Boney on the pretext that a paper which he requested Mrs. Friend to sign was an acceptance of a building. Mrs. Friend, being unable to read or write English, signed the paper which was a deed to Boney. The plaintiffs demand the restoration of the property or $4,800. Jose Espinosa was sentenced to six months in jail this week for stealing a bicycle from P. J. Weisel. Application for divorce has been filed in the Los Angeles court by Rose Dearmore against Lee Dearmore. Mr. and Mrs. Dearmore were formerly well-known residents of Anaheim. To the many Anaheim people who are interested in the Diamond Valley Oil Company, operating at Piru, in Ventura county, it will be gratifying to learn that well No. 3 is now down in oil sand, at a depth of 200 feet and that a good well is promised soon. Well No. 2 is pumping from 50 to 75 barrels of light grade oil from a 700-foot level, and producing sufficient gas for the camp use. This company's progress has been most rapid as it began development only a little over a year ago. The property, which is all proven territory, consists of a long-time lease of 320 acres only two miles from railroad facilities, and with a pipe line adjacent to the lease. At a recent meeting the company's books were closed, as all stock offered for subscription had been taken. This, with the promising developments going on, makes the stock valuable and those who are owners are to be congratulated. Nine Studebaker cars were sold by P. J. Weisel & Company to Orange county parties last week. Two 35's and seven 25's.
