VIEWING BRIDGE ACROSS RIVER AT OLIVE SUPERVISORS FAVOR NEW STRUCTURE, BUT ASK PROTECTION FOR IT CHAIRMAN TALBERT SUGGESTS FORMATION OF A NEW PROTECTION DISTRICT That the supervisors are desirous of constructing a new cement bridge across the river at Olive was evidenced on Tuesday afternoon, when the board assembled there to meet with a delegation of board of trade men of this city for the purpose of discussing ways and means to that end. The meeting was brought about through the efforts of Supervisor Schumacher of this district, who is an earnest advocate of constructing a new $70,000 concrete bridge at this point. There were present Supervisors Talbert, Struck, Leck and Schumacher, with Engineer H. C. Kellogg and a delegation of business it was up to the people of this city to protect the structure, which will cost $70,000. The present wooden bridge was constructed in 1888, a year before organization of Orange county. It was substantially built, and while it has given excellent service during the intervening years, is now ready to be relegated to oblivion. Much work has already been done in levee work north of the bridge. Piles have been driven for a considerable length, and these have been of great service in protecting embankments and saving this section from overflow. Recently, however, yandals have sawed off these piles at the ground and carted them away, presumably for fire wood. The new bridge will be built about 200 feet north of the present structure at its western end. It will connect with the road on the Olive side of the river at the terminus of the present bridge. This will give it a different angle across the stream, and it will meet flood waters at right angles, thus in a measure protecting the west bank of the river. As constructed the present bridge aids in throwing flood waters against this bank, with the result that wash-outs occur in times of winter's floods. The situation now squarely confronts the people of this city, Shall a smaller protection district be formed, or shall necessary means be raised by popular on Tuesday afternoon, when the board assembled there to meet with a delegation of board of trade men of this city for the purpose of discussing ways and means to that end. The meeting was brought about through the efforts of Supervisor Schumacher of this district, who is an earnest advocate of constructing a new $70,000 concrete bridge at this point. There were present Supervisors Talbert, Struck, Leck and Schumacher, with Engineer H. C. Kellogg and a delegation of business men of this city. An hour's consultation of the subject was had, during which it was made plain that the supervisors were not only willing but anxious to construct a new bridge, to replace the wodden structure built in 1888, and that the only condition precedent to such action was an assurance from the people of this city that the bridge when erected would be protected on both sides from washouts of this turbulent stream. This assurance was freely given the board by local board of trade men present, and as a sequence thereto the board announced its readiness to begin construction of the structure at the earliest possible moment. Chairman Talbert and Supervisors Struck and Leck strongly urged the formation of a new protection district, to comprise East Anaheim, West Anaheim and this city for the purpose of protecting the bridge for a mile on the river bank north of the structure. The expense of this protection was stated by Engineer Kellogg to be about $12,000. Mr. Talbert pointed out that it would be far cheaper for this city to form such district and go to this expense for protecting the new bridge, than to have formed the protection district some months ago when it would have been necessary to confine the river in its channel for a distance of 15 miles, with protection necessary on both sides of the stream. Should this protection district be formed and levees and wingdams be constructed for a distance of a mile north of the proposed bridge this city and surrounding sections would be forever free of any possibility of overflow from flood waters. Danger north of this point would threaten Fullerton, Orangethorpe and Buena Park. South of this levee the river, if it broke over its banks, would make a bee line for Garden Grove and the country south and west of that point. All these outlying sections stubbornly contested formation of the recently proposed protection district. If this city shall form the newer and smaller protection district as suggested by the supervisors, it will be up to these outside sections to take care of themselves in times of GETS WALNUT TABLE MADE BY FATHER Postmaster Duckworth Comes Into Possession of Heirloom Made 52 Years Ago Postmaster Duckworth was this week presented by V. U. Simpson with a handsomely carved walnut stand table, which had been in possession of Mr. This will give it a different angle across the stream, and it will meet flood waters at right angles, thus in a measure protecting the west bank of the river. As constructed the present bridge aids in throwing flood waters against this bank, with the result that wash-outs occur in times of winter's floods. The situation now squarely confronts the people of this city. Shall a smaller protection district be formed, or shall necessary means be raised by popular subscription for this work? Trees and wing-dams will cost approximately $12,000, and probably $5,000 will be necessary for immediate use. The proposed new protection district will contain about 12 square miles of territory, with an assessment of about $3,000,000. The protection tax will be a mere bagatelle. Whether this money shall be raised by forming a new protection district or by popular subscription is now before the people of this section. The paved road leading from this city to Olive, joining with the River-side county line, is some three miles in length. At $6,000 per mile this will cost $18,000. This is 50 per cent more than the entire cost of levee work to protect the new bridge. If the bridge be not protected it will not be built. If the bridge be not constructed, the road will not be paved. This is a condition, and not a theory, which now confronts the people of this city. It is the most important problem now engaging their attention. Supervisor Schumacher of this district, who is an enthusiastic advocate of a new cement bridge at this point, said yesterday that in his opinion it would not be necessary to form a new protection district, but that sufficient funds could be raised by subscription to make a beginning upon the work of protecting the structure. About $5,000 will be necessary to start levee work, and as the supervisors desire to begin work upon the bridge before the winter's rains, it will be necessary to get out subscription lists immediately. where a force of men establishing a camp, or chinery and preparing paving on Los Angeles machinery, tents and nalia was moved over week and the camp near where the Fairmore Company mainters while paving Cengeles streets.

South of this levee the river, if it broke over its banks, would make a bee line for Garden Grove and the country south and west of that point. All these outlying sections stubbornly contested formation of the recently proposed protection district. If this city shall form the newer and smaller protection district as suggested by the supervisors, it will be up to these outside sections to take care of themselves in times of torrential rainfall. Whether this new protection district shall be formed, or whether a popular subscription will be raised to defray expenses of beginning this work, is a matter which the board of trade will take up for discussion at an early date. The position of the board of supervisors which has been the subject of some comment for a year or more past, is perfectly clear. The board is willing to erect a new bridge to replace the present structure, which was built a quarter of a century ago, and it asks only that the structure be protected so that water will run under it. That their position is logical and founded upon common sense is not for a moment to be doubted. Engineer Kellogg exhibited plans for the new bridge, showing it to consist of six 60-foot spans, with six 20-foot spans on either side. This will make a bridge 600 feet in length, while the present wooden bridge is 1,600 feet, or more than a quarter of a mile long. It is the longest bridge in Orange county. Superintendent Leck made it plain that if the river at this point was not spanned by a new bridge the paved road from this city to Olive, joining with the county highway, leading to the River-side county line, would not be built. He expressed himself as heartily in favor of a new bridge, but insisted that Postmaster Duckworth Comes Into Possession of Heirloom Made 52 Years Ago Postmaster Duckworth was this week presented by V. U. Simpson with a handsomely carved walnut stand table, which had been in possession of Mr. Simpson's family for 52 years. The table was carved by Mr. Duckworth's father in Iowa when our fellowtownsman was a youth of tender years. The elder Duckworth was a cabinet maker and the handsome heirloom proves the statement that he was one of the best mechanics in Iowa in that far-off time. He went into the primeval forest and cut down the largest wild walnut tree which he could find. He was a pioneer of that section and was among the first white men to penetrate into the depths of the forest. After cutting down the tree he hauled it to his workshop and manufactured the stand table. This he presented when completed to the father of the late Mrs. Simpson. It later came into possession of Mr. Simpson and was brought here by him when he moved here with his family several years ago. Being upon the point of departing from the city Mr. Simpson presented it to Mr. Duckworth who had never seen it before. He had known of its existence but had never had the pleasure of looking upon this piece of his father's handiwork. He treasures it highly, and it now adorns his household on North Los Angeles street. He regards it as one of the most priceless gifts in his possession, and will treasure it as a family heirloom of great value. The paving of Los extremeties is only a long series of works probably stretch over three years. Broad street property owner signed up a sufficient sure the work on the City Engineer Street on the plans.

P. RAILROAD Activity is the watchword at the headquarters of the L. A. Paving Company, south of the Southern Pacific railroad at the foot of Claudina street, where a force of men is engaged in establishing a camp, erecting the machinery and preparing for the work of paving on Los Angeles street. The machinery, tents and other paraphernalia was moved over from Orange last week and the camp is being pitched near where the Fairchilds-Wilton-Gilmore Company maintained headquarters while paving Center and Los Angeles streets. E. R. Werdin, superintendent of the L. A. Paving Company, is in the East for paved streets and South Philadelphia street will probably fall in line. Broadway will pave one and one-half miles, Lemon street one mile, the county road a quarter of a mile and East Center street 1,200 feet. The total amount of paving now contemplated and which is certain to be laid within the next two or three years is approximately four miles. A force of 100 men will be engaged on the work when paving begins. This number will probably fluctuate. WEDDING CEREMONY PERFORMED IN ARBOR Miss Adelaide Gates and Merle Anlauf Married Yesterday One of the prettiest weddings that has taken place in Anaheim this season was witnessed yesterday by 30 guests at the home of Mr. and Mrs. Frank Gates on West Center street. The bride was Miss Adelaide Frances Gates, eldest daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Gates, and the groom Merle G. Anlauf. The ceremony was performed in a large arbor over-grown with vines in the midst of the floral nursery belonging to Mrs. Gates, and the wedding party was surrounded by beautiful flowers and ANAHEIM LANDS RUG AND LOOM FACTORY BOARD OF TRADEGUARANTEES A SMALL BONUS WHICH SECURES SANTA ANA CONCERN WILL EMPLOY FIFTEEN PERSONS AT START—OTHER NOTES OF BOARD MEETING A rug factory which will employ 15 persons in its opening days with unlimited possibilities for future development is now an assured fact and may be listed among the industries of Anaheim. Messrs. L. E. Miller and L. W. Bushard, directors and promoters of the factory, met with the board of trade Monday night and presented a proposition which was accepted and endorsed by that body and a suitable site for the plant is now being sought by the promoters assisted by the board. The plant is now in operation at Santa Ana under the management of M. C. Wilson. Mr. Wilson has for a year or where a force of men is engaged in establishing a camp, erecting the machinery and preparing for the work of paving on Los Angeles street. The machinery, tents and other paraphernalia was moved over from Orange last week and the camp is being pitched near where the Fairchilds-Wilton-Gilmore Company maintained headquarters while paving Center and Los Angeles streets. E. R. Werdin, superintendent of the L. A. Paving Company, is in the East at present and during his absence E. J. Weinig has charge of the business. Mr. Weinig states that the camp will be established, the machinery and apparatus in place, and the plant ready to begin active operations on the street within ten days. The rock which will be used in the foundation comes in from the mountain region already crushed and is mixed with the asphaltum on the ground. One of the heavy pieces of machinery which will be used is an excavator which loads the wagons itself. It is drawn by a traction engine and the wagons following are loaded from an elevating attachment. It will probably save the labor of a score of shovels as a wagon can be loaded by it in the length of time required by a laborer to dump a couple of showelsful of dirt into it. The L. A. Paving Company is under contract to pave the north end of Los Angeles street from Sycamore to North street, and the south end from Santa Ana street to the city limits. This includes the street intersections, the company's bid for this work having been accepted at Thursday night's meeting of the city trustees. The total length of the paving contracted for aggregates 4,000 lineal feet, or about 240,000 square feet. The cost of paving this street under the L. A. Paving Company's contract is 13.99 cents per square foot, the total cost therefore, being in the neighborhood of $33,000. Two years ago a representative of the Barker Asphalt Company endeavored to secure contracts to perform this work by private agreement, representing that his figures were as low as could possibly be made on the class of paving demanded. He was a pursuasive talker and succeeded in convincing a number of interested parties that his scheme was preferable to the system under which the previous paving had been done, but at a mass meeting held at the board of trade rooms his proposition was overwhelmingly voted down and paving under the Vrooman act endorsed. The Los Angeles street paving, under the terms submitted by the Barker agent, would have cost the property owners one of the prettiest weddings that has taken place in Anaheim this season was witnessed yesterday by 30 guests at the home of Mr. and Mrs. Frank Gates on West Center street. The bride was Miss Adelaide Frances Gates, eldest daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Gates, and the groom Merle G. Anlauf. The ceremony was performed in a large arbor over-grown with vines in the midst of the floral nursery belonging to Mrs. Gates, and the wedding party was surrounded by beautiful flowers and greenery of every description. The bride and groom stood in an aisle between banks of ferns, flowers and poted plants under a floral bell covered with white carnations. Rev. Francis Watry, pastor of the Unitarian church, of Santa Ana, performed the ceremony, which took place at noon. The bridal dress was of white lingerie, and she carried a bouquet of white snap dragon maiden hair ferns. Inez and Irving Gates, sister and brother of the bride, acted as bridesmaid and groomsman. Immediately following the ceremony the guests sat down to a sumptuous dinner, the tables also being spread in the fernery or greenhouse. The guests from out-of-town were Mr. and Mrs. Herman Anlauf, parents of the groom, and Master Leslie Anlauf, of Santa Paula, Joseph Anlauf, of Tustin, Rev. and Mrs. Watry, of Santa Ana, Clarence Trindle, of Santa Ana, Miss Martha Shaw, of Los Angeles, Miss Ora Ables, of Los Alamitos, and Miss Ida Cummings, of Hollywood. The young couple left in the evening on a short honeymoon tour but refuse to give their destination. On their return they will take possession of the new cottage which the groom has just completed on Illinois street just south and adjoining the Gates' nursery. This is one of the neatest cottages in Anaheim, is completely furnished and ready for occupancy. The groom is proprietor of the Anlauf motorcycle shop and is one of Anaheim's enterprising young business men, while the bride is the eldest daughter of City Trustee Frank Gates. COSTLY MAUSOLEUM IN CEMETERY A Fifty Thousand Dollar Structure to Be Erected in Anaheim Cemetery The organization of a mausoleum company which has been under consideration for a couple of months was effected last week with a board of directors composed of Max Nebelung, Dr. G.W.Harron E.C.Krueger L.O.Gulc ment is now an assured fact and may be listed among the industries of Anaheim. Messrs. L.E.Miller and L.W.Bushard, directors and promoters of the factory, met with the board of trade Monday night and presented a proposition which was accepted and endorsed by that body and a suitable site for the plant is now being sought by the promoters assisted by the board. The plant is now in operation at Santa Ana under the management of M.C.Wilson. Mr. Wilson has for a year or more been seeking a new site with a view to enlargement. He interested two or three Anaheim capitalists in the concern with the result that it will, within a short time be in operation in this city. The plant not only makes rugs of all grades but manufactures a loom, a patent of the manager, Mr.Wilson. The board of trade guaranteed $350 toward the purchase of ground for a site with the understanding that this sum should be returned to the board in case the factory closed or moved away within three years. The question of the proposed new bridge spanning the Santa Ana at Olive was introduced by G.L.Dietrich, who bore a message from Supervisor Schumacher. Mr.Schumacher notified him that the board of supervisors would view the site at an early date, probably the next day, and desired a delegation of citizens from Anaheim, Fullerton, La Habra and other points immediately interested in the bridge to be present. A committee consisting of Messrs.Duckworth,Dietrich Adams,Beebe and Griswold was appointed by Chairman Eygabroad to meet the supervisors on.the site and to take with them as large a delegation of citizens as possible. Mr.Schumacher promises that the bridge will be built. Whittier,Covina,Corona,Orange,Fullerton and other towns are working for the location of the State Agricultural College's experiment station,and as Anaheim is considered the one ideal spot for the station owing to its freedom from frost,它 was decided to get busy and secure it.J.W.DuckworthJ.B.NeffandH.M.Adams were appointed a committee to confer with Dr.Webber upon his return fromthe Eastand make an heroic effort to land this valuable enterprise for Anaheim.The state asks a farm of 200 acres,但will probably be satisfied with half this in one tract,the balance being detached ground.Dr.Webber will be at home within two weeks and as he is known to be partial to this section,the board hopes to landthe big industry.There is little doubt that Anaheim will get it if a suitable site can be secured. on the class of paving demanded. He was a persuasive talker and succeeded in convincing a number of interested parties that his scheme was preferable to the system under which the previous paving had been done, but at a mass meeting held at the board of trade rooms his proposition was overwhelmingly voted down and paving under the Vrooman act endorsed. The Los Angeles street paving, under the terms submitted by the Barker agent, would have cost the property owners $7,000 more money than they are now paying the L. A. Paving Company for the same work, and the excess cost of the paving now in contemplation and certain to be built within the next two or three years would have been approximately $35,000. The class of paving which the L. A. company lays on Los Angeles street for 13.99 cents per foot is the same that Mr. Conway wanted $7,000 more for building. Robert Coghlan, of Santa Ana, has been engaged by the city trustees to inspect the job. Mr. Coghlan was the inspector while the two previous systems were being built, and to his eagle eye is partially due the fact that Anahiem's street paving is perfect and equal to the best in the state. The paving of Los Angeles street's extremities is only the beginning of a long series of work which will probably stretch over a period of two or three years. Broadway and Lemon street property owners have already signed up a sufficiency of names to insure the work on those thoroughfares and City Engineer Steward is working on the plans. It is probable that work will begin on one or both of these streets as soon as the paving now in progress is out of the way. The county road (or Lincoln avenue as it will hereafter be known) and East Center street property owners are clamoring A Fifty Thousand Dollar Structure to Be Erected In Anaheim Cemetery The organization of a mausoleum company which has been under consideration for a couple of months was effected last week with a board of directors composed of Max Nebelung, Dr. C. W. Harvey, F. C. Krause, L. O. Culp, L. E. Miller and R. J. Laidlaw, in control. All the directors are prominent citizens of Anaheim with the exception of Mr. Laidlaw, who lives in Los Angeles. The officers elected are: President—Dr. C. W. Harvey. Vice-President—R. J. Laidlaw. Secretary—L. O. Culp. Treasurer—F. C. Krause. Auditor—L. E. Miller. A splendid mausoleum costing in the neighborhood of $50,000 will be constructed in the northwest corner of the Anaheim cemetery, and work will begin on it by the first of August. More than half the crypt within the structure has already been sold. The company has offices over Dickel's store where the secretary, L. O. Culp, is in charge. A prettily appointed 1 o'clock lunchon was given by Mrs. Otto Egge of Santa Ana on Wednesday afternoon of last week when 12 covers were arranged for the members of the "500" club of this city. A large basket of pink and white sweet peas effected a beautiful centerpiece for the dining table. After the delicious lunch was served the game of "500" was enjoyed for the remainder of the afternoon. Prizes wee worn by Mrs. Harry Dyer and Mrs. Julius Schneider. pointed a committee to confer with Dr. Webber upon his return from the East and make an heroic effort to land this valuable enterprise for Anaheim. The state asks a farm of 200 acres, but will probably be satisfied with half this in one tract, the balance being detached ground. Dr. Webber will be at home within two weeks and as he is known to be partial to this section, the board hopes to land the big industry. There is little doubt that Anaheim will get it if a suitable site can be secured. Secretary Ahlborn, who has been laboring for many months without pay, was voted a check for $75 for past services and instructed to pay himself $25 per quarter hereafter. The secretary was empowered to employ a collector and solicitor to gather in the outstanding dues of delinquent members and to solicit new membership. There are only 102 members on the roll at present, and the board is going to make an effort to increase this going to make an effort to increase this cent of all collections and 50 cents for each new member added. A. A. Mills, representing the committee on roads, reported that the highway to the Golden State tract had been oiled as far as Richfield and was now in passable condition to the Golden State region. The people living in that territory who are now able to reach Anaheim at all times and seasons sent a card of thanks to the board of trade for its efficient work in this direction. The question of abrogating the open ditch nuisance was discussed at considerable length. It was precipitated by a complaint that East street north of Center was in a deplorable condition. On behalf of the city government Trustee Stark stated that the trustees were in a quandary over that and other similar matters. The trustees, he said, had received a peremp- ZETTE 13 NUMBER 39 LANDS AND LOOM STORY GUARANTEES A HICH SECURES CONCERN FTEEN PERSONS MER NOTES OF MEETING which will employ 15 days with unfor future developured fact and may industries of Anamiller and L.

The actual status of the water company and how far its obligations and rights ended or extended, had not yet been decided by legal authority. The board concluded to try and effect a compromise and sink all ditches, the water company, the city and the property owners each paying a proportionate share. CENTENARIAN SEEKING A HEALTHY CLIMATE Peter Morrison, Aged 100 Years, Buying Home in Anaheim Coming from far-away Albany, New York, to the Pacific Coast in search of health, Peter S. Morrison, aged 100 years and four months, arrived in Anaheim Monday and will probably buy a home and remain here. Mr. Morrison traveled the 3,000 miles from Albany alone and comports himself like a man of 60. He believes the atmosphere of Anaheim will be beneficial to him, that he will live to a ripe old age here notwithstanding he has been suffering for a few years past with asthma. He SUGAR FACTOBY PREPARED FOR BIG RUN WILL BEGIN SEASON'S CAMPAIGN BETWEEN JULY 25 AND AUGUST 1 NEW SEWAGE DISPOSAL PLANT WILL ELIMINATE ALL ODORS, IT IS CLAIMED Sometime between Friday, July 25, and Friday, August 1, the Anaheim Sugar Factory will start its wheels to rolling and begin slicing beets in its 1913 campaign, but the day has not yet been definitely fixed. During the vacation the big plant has been overhauled, renovated, repaired and improved. This work was completed last week and everything about the place put in perfect condition. Many thousands of dollars were spent since the close of the last campaign in repairs, in the installation of new machinery, and in making improvements, and the factory begins this campaign in better condition than it has been Coming from far-away Albany, New York, to the Pacific Coast in search of health, Peter S. Morrison, aged 100 years and four months, arrived in Anaheim Monday and will probably buy a home and remain here. Mr. Morrison traveled the 3,000 miles from Albany alone and comports himself like a man of 60. He believes the atmosphere of Anaheim will be beneficial to him, that he will live to a ripe old age here notwithstanding he has been suffering for a few years past with asthma. He is the father of eight children, the oldest son being now 74 years of age. The children are all residents of New York and Ohio. Mr. Morrison is one of those unique individuals who can claim no country as the land of his nativity. His parents were Scots and he was born on a ship upon the Atlantic's wave, twenty days out of Glasgow, on March 11th, 1813. He was a lusty youngster two months of age when the vessel landed in New York. At the age of 16 he drove an ox team from New York into the wilderness of Ohio where the Morrison family hoped to carve wealth from the virgin forest. He lived there until, at the age of 33, the Mexican war broke out when he enlisted and went to the front. He was with Gen. Zachary Taylor in all his battles with the Mexicans, beginning with Palo Alto in Texas, and ending on the bloody plains of Buena Vista. This is the battle, he said, in which Santa Ana declared he had the Americans whipped twice but the d—fools didn't know it and kept on fighting. He also fought at Reseca de la Palma, Fort Brown, Matamoras and Monterey. Mr. Morrison's wife died 31 years ago at a ripe age. Logevity belongs to the family as an elder brother died three years ago at the age of 103. He has eight children the eldest of whom passed the age alotted to man four years ago. Edward Sperry, nephew of Mr. Morrison, is expected in Anaheim in a short time. Mr. Sperry and his family have for many years spent their winters in California and he has now disposed of his business interests and expects to locate here permanently. RIBS WRENCHED FROM BREAST BONE E. S. Henry Recovering From Serious Injuries Sustained at Sugar Factory E. S. Henry, who was employed as rolling and begin slicing beets in its 1913 campaign, but the day has not yet been definitely fixed. During the vacation the big plant has been overhauled, renovated, repaired and improved. This work was completed last week and everything about the place put in perfect condition. Many thousands of dollars were spent since the close of the last campaign in repairs, in the installation of new machinery, and in making improvements, and the factory begins this campaign in better condition than it has been since its establishment. Two hundred and fifty men will be employed in the plant during the season, about the same number as last year, and the efficient staff having charge of the various departments heretofore will be, practically unchanged this season. The only change of note is in the head of the concern, Mr. Murkle, the old superintendent, having given way to D. Jessurun, who has supreme command. Mr. Jessurun comes from the Colorado beet sugar country and is a man of many years' experience and thorough knowledge of the work. The acreage of beets signed by the field lieutenants for this year's run is one-fourth larger than last year's crop, but the exact figures are not available. The lowest estimate of the yield to be sliced by the factory is 85,000 tons, but these figures may be considerably increased. The weather conditions during the growing season have been excellent and the entire crop belonging to the Anaheim plant is in splendid condition. No test has yet been made of the saccharine matter in the beets but there is no reason to believe that this season's crop, with the weather and all other conditions favorable, will fail to maintain the reputation of Orange county's beets and yield the largest percentage of sugar of any beets grown on earth. This season's acreage was signed in practically the same territory as last year. While the acreage is 25 per cent larger the increase comes from the neighborhoods that have furnished beets heretofore, which demonstrates that the beet crop is proving a profitable one to growers. One of the new innovations this year is the establishment of the company's sewage disposal plant. Forty acres of ground adjoining the factory on the east have been leased for a number of years and converted into a sewer farm. An army of men and teams with scrapers have been at work on this ground for months, and on Saturday evening completed the work of preparing it for the reception of the waste water from the factory. Thirty-six pits or beds RIBS WRENCHED FROM BREAST BONE E. S. Henry Recovering From Serious Injuries Sustained at Sugar Factory E. S. Henry, who was employed as engineer at the sugar factory, is recovering from serious injuries sustained by a fall at the mill on June 2, when he was engaged in fastening steam pipes to the ceiling of a room at the mill. He fell a distance of 15 feet and was rendered unconscious. His injuries were examined by a physician who discovered one rib had been broken. Mr. Henry suffered great pains about the breast, and this was diagnosed as being attributable to bruises. He later consulted another physician, who found that four ribs had been wrenched from the breast bone. His injuries were finally properly attended to, and he hopes to be able to resume operations in the engine room when the factory starts the latter part of the month. Mike Litten came down from Tulare Saturday and consummated a trade whereby he will once more become a resident of Anaheim. He exchanged his 70-acre alfalfa ranch in Tulare county for the Dunbar ranch of 20 acres on South Los Angeles street, receiving a bonus of $7,000 on the side. Mike started back to Tulare on the night train and will make a public sale of all his personal property preparatory to taking possession of his new home. He will move back to Anaheim in a couple of weeks. The Anaheim Union Water Company is made defendant in a suit brought by E. Morlae for $592. Morlae asserts in his complaint that he was engaged to dig a pit for the water company and line it with reinforced concrete. He says that the company did not keep the pit free from water and he was compelled to quit work. The defendant asked him to abandon his work and put in a shoe. This Morlae refused to do. The water company then took charge of the work and put in a shoe. Morale asserts that there is $592 due him.
