10,000 JOYOUSLY CELEBRATE THE FOURTH GREATEST DEMONSTRATION IN RECENT HISTORY OF MOTHER COLONY FIVE THOUSAND FED AT BARBE-CUE—PRIZES AWARDED IN PARADE Ten thousand visitors entered the gates of Anaheim Friday to assist in celebrating the one hundred and thirty-eighth anniversary of the birthday of Independence. The celebration was given by the Fraternal Order of Eagles and was a success in every particular from the opening shot in the morning announcing the dawn of another Independence day to the pop of the last fire cracker at night. The celebration was in charge of a committee of Eagles composed of Harry Harris, chairman, Fred Dyckman, Vic Lamont, Billy Lake and Frank Fox, secretary of the order. Notwithstanding the fact that only 13 days' time elapsed from its inspiration to its culmination, the program as originally arranged was carried through without a break and all the entertainment promised the visitors provided, with the ex- announcing the dawn of another Independence day to the pop of the last fire cracker at night. The celebration was in charge of a committee of Eagles composed of Harry Harris, chairman, Fred Dyckman, Vic Lamont, Billy Lake and Frank Fox, secretary of the order. Notwithstanding the fact that only 13 days' time elapsed from its inspiration to its culmination, the program as originally arranged was carried through without a break and all the entertainment promised the visitors provided, with the exception of the side show attachments from Los Angeles which failed to appear and gave notice so late that substitutes could not be provided. There was so much entertainment elsewhere, however, that this defection was not missed and their absence very little mourned. The street parade of floats, decorated autos, buggies, etc., at 10 o'clock in the morning was the leading feature of the forenoon's entertainment. The procession started on Center street in front of the high school and after passing up Center wound through various streets, disbanding at the Central school grounds which was the pivotal point of the celebration. Between 40 and 50 artistically decorated floats and vehicles were in line, some of them being both beautiful and unique. The parade was headed by Crowther's Cadet Band, Grand Marshal Harris and officers of the day following in command of the procession. The committee on awards for best decrations after viewing the procession, wrestled with the question of merit and finally rendered decision as follows: First prize—Miss Ella Heitshusen. Second prize—Miss Lucy Ziegler. Comedy prize—Wagon load of colored men. The six colored men in the wagon were Billy Blackmore, Art Bowen, Johnny Martin, Henry Chimnitzer, George Chick and Ed Kirk. Poorest display prize—Anaheim City Dye Works. Honorable mention—F. O. E. locomotive No. 947. Miss Heitshusen's car was a Stoddard-Dayton gray in color, and was completely covered with Shasta daisies. It was a marvel of beauty with its white, yellow and green dress and deserved the prize. Miss Ziegler's car, a Studebaker, was trimmed with sunflowers, Shasta daisies and greenery, also with the national colors. The committee on awards was composed of Judge Howard, George Dutton, Mayor Nebelung, Allen Melrose and Joe Burke. The Central school grounds which lously ready for the guests on being uncovered at noon. The guests were: H. P. Paschall and Mrs. Nannie Guthrie, brother and sister of the doctor, Johnny Paschall, nephew, and Miss Palson, all of Long Beach; Mr. and Mrs. John Irwin, Mr. and Mrs. Charles Steil, Mr. and Mrs. Henry Stell, and Mr. and Mrs. Blackman, of Los Angeles; Miss W. A. Kempton, of Loveland, Colo., and the Anaheim guests were J. L. Thomas and wife, Mr. and Mrs. Conklin, Mr. and Mrs. A. Berg and son, Mr. and Mrs. Davidson and son, Miss Audra Phelan, Mrs. Durkin, B. Kennedy, Mr. and Mrs. Holder, Mr. and Mrs. Hedges, Mr. and Mrs. Hebson, the Theodore brothers, Mrs. F. E. Gilmore, R. C. Petermann, Mr. and Mrs. Gus Theodore, Mr. and Mrs. Henry Kuchel and son, W. T. Moore, Mr. and Mrs. E. H. Adams and children, Mrs. Murphy, and Mrs. E. T. Milner, of Fulton, Ky., sister of Mrs. Paschall. The guests were seated in a bower constructed of green branches along the south side of the Paschall apartment house, where tables had been arranged. The bower was cool, resting and inviting and coupled with the excellent quality of the baked meats provided by the doctor, the affair was one of the pleasantest ever enjoyed by those present. CHILD DIES FROM BLOOD POISONING Result of a Scratch From Barb of a Wire Fence Wilma Sexton, the 3½-year-old daughter of Mr. and Mrs. John L. Sexton, of Brea, died Sunday from blood poisoning. A few days previously she was assisting an older sister in picking blackberries and accidentally injured her eye with a wire fence barb. The wound was so insignificant that little was thought of it at the time, but blood poisoning developed within a day and she rapidly grew worse until death came to her relief on Sunday morning. The funeral was held Monday at the residence, Rev. Bruce Brown, of Fullerton, conducting the services, and interment was made at Santa Fe Spring cemetery. The child was a niece of Rev. C. R. Moore, pastor of the Anaheim Christian church.

It was a marvel of beauty with its white, yellow and green dress and deserved the prize. Miss Ziegler's car, a Studebaker, was trimmed with sunflowers, Shasta daisies and greenery, also with the national colors. The committee on awards was composed of Judge Howard, George Dutton, Mayor Nebelung, Allen Melrose and Joe Burke. The Central school grounds which had been given over to the use of the committee by the school trustees was the heart of the ceelbration. Sixteen hundred pounds of beef and seven hundred pounds of fish was baking in trenches on the vacant ground opposite during the night and forenoon, and at 12 o'clock, at the conclusion of the parade, five thousand hungry men, women and children gathered under the shade trees on the school ground and partook of the barbecued meats. Like the loaves and fishes on the shores of Gallilee, the supply was inexhaustible and there was still a goodly portion left after the multitude had been fed. The barbecue was in charge of R. J. Spaeks, Ed. Sleuter and Herman Rinklieb. A platform had been improvised on the north steps of the school house for a speakers' stand, and at half-past 1 o'clock, after a half hour's concert by the band, Chairman Harris introduced the first speaker of the occasion, Joe Burke, of Santa Ana Mr. Burke, being an Eagle, spoke on behalf of that order and extended a royal welcome to the (Continued on page 2.) SOMEONE ERRED IN CALLING ELECTION STANTON TRUSTEES COMPELLED TO FIX ANOTHER DATE FOR SEGREGATION ELECTION ERRORS IN THE BOUNDARY LINES ON THE MAP CAUSED MUCH TROUBLE Whether somebody blundered in drawing the boundary lines or for segregating a goodly portion of the city of Stanton and returning it to its native wilds, or whether parties left within the incorporate precincts by the lines drawn raised an objection and kicked so vigorously that the city trustees were forced to reconsider the map and cut them out, the writer here-of is unable to say. At any rate the matter was reconsidered at a meeting of the board of trustees Monday night, the former resolution calling an election on Saturday, July 12th, rescinded and a new one, adapting a new map and fixing the date of election as Friday, August 8th, was passed. The new petition which was presented to the board Monday night contains 56 names which were certified to by County Clerk Williams as legal voters. FROST CONDITIONS REVIEWED BY COOK The State Horticultural Commissioner Makes Report on Conditions After an extended tour of the citrus fruit districts in Southern California, during which he made a thorough investigation of the results of last winter's cold spell, Dr. A. J. Cook, state horticultural commissioner, has prepared a lengthy article showing the effects of Jack Frost's visit, pointing out what he believes to be the brighter side of the case and telling the important lesson to be gained by the fruit growers from their experience. Dr. Cook says lemons suffered more than oranges, small trees were more damaged than mature ones, orchards not in good condition were most damaged, and trees not inured to cold were the most serious sufferers. The greatest damage was suffered in San Diego county. There the citrus crop was largely lemons, and if the trees were young the loss was very heavy and ill-cared-for groves were especially damaged. "We know that the climate of San Diego, for all past years, has been exceptionally even and mild, and it would seem as if the trees were not braced for the ordeal. In the elevated groves from San Dimas to Highland and Redlands the damage was severe, perhaps for the same reason." In discussing the bright side of the case, Dr. Cook says the facts are far from discouraging as the brave do. $3,000,000 GAIN IN YEAR'S ASSESSMENT NOTABLE INCREASE SHOWN IN COUNTY VALUATION BY THE ASSESSOR'S BOOKS FIGURES GIVING ASSESSMENT FOR 1913 AND THE PRE-VIOUS YEAR County Assessor James Sleeper on Monday turned over to the Board of Equalization the assessment rolls for 1913, showing an increase of $3,113,370 in the assessment this year over last year. Orange county's total assessed valuation is now $44,456,395 instead of $41,343,025, which was last year's total. The county assessor's raise practically assures a lower tax rate than last year. A large share of the increase was made in the oil wells section and in equalizing big holdings with smaller holdings. The natural growth of the county was responsible for a large share of the $3,113,370 raise secured by Sleeper and his competent corps of field deputies. There was an increase in nearly every road district and in nearly every municipality of the county. One of the map and cut them out, the writer here-of is unable to say. At any rate the matter was reconsidered at a meeting of the board of trustees Monday night, the former resolution calling an election on Saturday, July 12th, rescinded and a new one, adapting a new map and fixing the date of election as Friday, August 8th, was passed. The new petition which was presented to the board Monday night contains 56 names which were certified to by County Clerk Williams as legal voters of the municipality. The original petition as submitted to Williams contained 61 names but five of them were eliminated by him as doubtful. Seventy-eight votes were cast in Stanton at the last general election consequently 56 constitutes a majority and are competent to call an election. It was anticipated that an interesting fight would be precipitated Monday night by the friends of disincorporation and the advocates of recalling the city trustees. Both these parties have petitions before the board, each more numerously signed than the segregation petition, but the board appears to show a disposition to side-track them and push the segregation matter to the front. Chairman J. F. Roe announced that the matter of rescinding the defective resolution passed on June 7th, calling the election for July 12 would be the first business before the board, and the consideration of the amended one rectifying the boundary lines, would come next. The petitions for disincorporation and recall would stand just as they were for the present. Friday, August 8th, was determined upon as the date for the election and two polling places were fixed, one at Magnolia school house and the other at the city hall. The election officials appointed were: At Magnolia—Inspectors, Rudolph Styles and E. L. Hein. Judges—John Nichols and O. H. De Witt. Clerks—B. Winters and E. M. Murphy. At the City Hall—Inspectors, Chas. Reich and D. L. Newlin. Judges—L. F. W. Shock and H. A. Rily. Clerks—C. C. Tower and Harry Skiles. Ballot Clerks—G. G. Lowe and Andrew Baker. PARTY OFF FOR LOWER CALIFORNIA Land Speculators Leave Here by Auto to Be Gone Ten Days A party of land speculators consisting of W. T. Newland, Henry Myers, Leo Borchard, Frank Borchard, and two or three others from Ventura, left here Tuesday morning by automobile for Lower California and will probably be absent for ten days. They are away on a land speculation, which involves the purchase of one million acres of valuable land. Henry Myers, one member of the party that left this morning, was over the ground several months ago and came back and made such favorable report that the men who went with him this morning were interested to the extent of seeing for themselves. MANY NEW CITIZENS Monday was naturalization day in the superior court, and more than the usual number of citizens were made. Those who successfully passed the questioning of Judge West were Aug- The county assessor's raise practically assures a lower tax rate than last year. A large share of the increase was made in the oil wells section and in equalizing big holdings with smaller holdings. The natural growth of the county was responsible for a large share of the $3,113,370 raise secured by Sleeper and his competent corps of field deputies. There was an increase in nearly every road district and in nearly every municipality of the county. One of the big jumps was in personal property collections. These collections are made in the field. Last year the deputies took in personal property collections on a valuation of $1,262,075, and this year the total is $1,491,650. The supervisors sitting as a board of equalization received the books at noon today, and will continue to sit as a board of equalization for two weeks. The totals by cities are: Santa Ana, $5,631,215, an increase of $173,175; Orange, $1,547,330, an increase of $93,-645; Newport Beach, $756,920, an increase of $3,120; Anaheim, $1,296,340, an increase of $71,740; Fullerton, $2,-378,150, a decrease of $1,000; Huntington Beach, $861,430, a decrease of $1,-455; Stanton, $620,610, an increase of $22,385. In the totals shown above, two cities, Fullerton and Huntington Beach, show a decrease. As a matter of fact those cities ought to show an increase, and do when the figures on personal property not included in the above, are presented in the case of Fullerton, and the figures on soldier's exemptions are presented in the case of Huntington Beach. This year the assessor collected mineral rights taxes as personal property, and in the Fullerton municipality personal property assessment jumped enough to make the real gain $33,725. Last year few soldier's exemption claims were turned in from the Huntington Beach section. This year the number was enough to cause a slight decrease in the assessment of the city. By road districts, assessments are: | | | | :--- | :--- | | Alamitos | $1,352,970 | | Anaheim | 1,162,225 | | Bolaa | 390,765 | | Buena Park | 964,390 | | Delhi | 1,208,460 | | El Toro | 432,445 | | Fullerton | 3,740,705 | | Garden Grove | 1,021,020 | | Laguna | 492,690 | | La Habra | 3,061,065 | | Newhope | 1,254,605 | | Newport | 969,970 | | Olive | 1,153,725 | | Orange | 1,616,620 | Months heard they again to Bennet.

GUN CLUB SHOOT Blue Rock Club Will Compete For Dupont Prize of Silver Quail The members of the Blue Rock Gun Club will compete during the next four shoots for a badge offered as a permium by the Dupont Powder Works. The badge consists of a silver quail fastened to a black ribbon. Each competitor will have one hundred shots, divided into four relays of twenty-five shots each, and it will require four weeks to complete the shoot. Last Sunday the four best records made by the club were as follows: Norton Hatfield ... 23 Harry Hill ... 20 F. Mauerhan ... 19 Ed. Bassenet ... 18 G. W. Pennington was up from San Diego county this week spending the Fourth and visiting his family. Mr. Pennington is engaged in the oil business and is now sinking a well for the Lo Tengo Oil Company which, on July 1st, was 2,870 feet deep. The formation through which they are passing is favorable and they expect to strike oil at a depth of probably 3,000. Gas is being encountered but not of sufficient force to make it profitable. Mr. Pennington thinks this field is certain to develop into a most profitable one. MANY NEW CITIZENS Monday was naturalization day in the superior court, and more than the usual number of citizens were made. Those who successfully passed the questioning of Judge West were August Meinecke and Robert T. Satulszewski of Anaheim, Ernest B. Wirth and Bernard B. Balette of Fullerton, Edward Gray, R. D. 1, Santa Ana, Robert Lemke, Olive, Rev. Charles H. M. Sutherland, Anaheim, Abraham P. J. Matouk, Roy C. Peterson and Samuel Hurwitz, of Santa Ana, Alex. Zisch, Huntington Beach, Eugene Allec and Peter John Allec of Placentia. An all-day open air meeting of the local W. C. T. U. will be held at the beautiful home of Mrs. D. Gervais, Tuesday, July 15th. A most enjoyable meeting is anticipated and some of the county officers will be present. It is hoped that every union in the county will be represented. Lunch will be served at noon by the ladies and a cordial invitation is extended to all to come and spend a pleasant day in the open and enjoy a feast in more senses of the word than one. There will be autos at the M. E. church at 10 A.M. and 1:20 P.M. Miss Carrie Tubach is a new recruit to the S. Q. R. force of clerks. A study of the assessment rolls to the county brings to light a number of interesting features. Among these is that Orange county has the most valuable oil well in the world. That well is assessed for exactly $1,000,000. This well is the great well that belongs to the Birch Oil Co., brought in when the present owners were operating under the name of the Manges Oil Co. Sleeper more than doubled the assessment of the Birch Oil Co. this year. Last year the total assessment of that company was $512,845. This year the total is $1,119,820. The latter total is made up of $1,000,000 for the big well, $100,800 for twenty acres of land and $19,020 for other wells. The big well would have been assessed higher were it not for the element of chance in an oil well. It might quit flowing and be- come a pump well, which would greatly reduce its value. As shown by the rolls, the Irvine Company is by far the biggest taxpayer in Orange county. The assessment upon the property of the Irvine Company is now $3,036,020. There has been a tremendous raise in the assessment of the big ranch since 1910, for in that year the company's total assessment was $1,425,780. Since then $1,610,240 has been added, making the present total $3,036,020. About $750,000 was added this year by Assessor Sleeper. EDITOR BUYS AUTO DROPS OUT OF SIGHT Stanton Optimist Man Buys Machine at Low Figure and Is Missed Dan W. Bennet, editor and publisher of the Weekly Optimist at Stanton, has disappeared. Bennet purchased the paper from E. M. McClure about three months ago and as soon as McClure heard that Bennet had gone away he again took charge of the paper. Bennet went to Fullerton two weeks ago and purchased a second-hand automobile from the Wickersheim Implement Company, paying $50 down on the deal and agreeing to pay $25 a month for four months. It is said Bennet sold the machine to Mrs. L. Cross of Garden Grove for $175, getting $100 in cash and a note for $75. He discounted the note at the Garden Grove bank. SOUTH AMERICA AS SEEN BY A BOY PROF. HARTRANFT'S LECTURE FULL OF INTEREST AND THRILLS TELLS OF INCREDIBLE HARDSHIP ALONG THE MIGHTY AMAZON AND TRIBUTARIES It was a story of unparalleled hardship, disappointed expectations and blasted hopes which Prof. S. C. Hartranft related at the Presbyterian church Tuesday night under the title "A Boy's Outing Under the Equator." It happened in 1878 when Mr. Hartranft was 18 years of age. In company with a companion of his own age he joined an expedition starting for the head waters of the Amazon where a contract had been secured to build a railroad from the head of navigation across the mighty Andes to the Pacific ocean.

Filled with the wonderful fiction they had read the boys believed the land they were invading was flowing with milk and honey and that everything necessary to sustain life was within easy reach and anyone was at liberty to pluck, eat and be satisfied. "We expected to reach our destination in a week or perhaps ten days," said Mr. Hartranft, "but it was 37 days from the time we sailed away from Philadelphia until we disembarked at our stopping point, two thousand miles above the mouth of the Amazon. During the voyage we were battened down between decks—427 of us in one room, and fed only on hard tack, bean soup with chunks of fat pork in it and rotten coffee. On reaching the camp which was to be our home for a year, instead of the wonderful fruits, nuts, game, and other good things which we confidently expected would be our fare we found a land of desolation and our only rations the bean soup, the hard tack and coffee. Then followed a tale of destitution, disease and hardships almost unbelievable. Five weeks after landing 78 members of the expedition were buried and the balance were tottering about like walking skeletons, making feeble attempts to work as they were told if they failed to work their pay would cease, consequently never would they be able to leave that God-forsaken country. Even the execrable provisions furnished by the company failed them and for a time the boys subsisted on alligators, lizards, mountain lions and the tops of palm trees. For six months they managed to drag out a miserable existence and then came word that the company was bankrupt and the railroad abandoned. They were given drafts on Para for their pay and turned adrift in the heart of the Brazilian forest. Mr. Hartranft and ten others secured a row boat, stocked it with what provisions they could find, and started on a 2,000 mile journey down the Amazon to Para. After weeks of incredible hardship they reached their destination and discovered that the drafts were worthless, but would be paid in New York. After sleeping in holes and living on what they could forage for a few days a sea captain was finally induced to take the party to New York, relying on the company's drafts for his pay, but in New York the paper was declared absolutely worthless.

WANT JAIL IMPROVED The State Board of Charities and Corrections has sent a letter to the Board of Supervisors outlining numerous changes that the board thinks ought to be made in the Orange county jail. The letter states that the county ought soon to build a new jail or make extensive alterations in the present one. Additional toiletts all over the building, separate cells in the misdemeanor room, and a light well for the misdemeanor room are urged. The letter comes somewhat as a surprise as the county only recently spent several thousand dollars in building a new floor and additional cells in the jail. L. P. Carnine, formerly a resident here, was in town this week from Delano, visiting with his daughter, Mrs. O. L. Thompson. Mr. Carnine has been absent a year and finds many evidences of advancement and progress during his absence.
