DECLARE WAR UP-ON ASSESSMENT DISTRICT STANTON FARMERS PASS PAVED ROAD PROPOSITION BACK TO SUPERVISORS PROTEST AGAINST PROPOSED TAX LEVY, ASK THAT ROAD BE PAVED AT COUNTY'S EXPENSE Three hundred voters of Stanton and contiguous precincts in the west county are up in arms against formation of an assessment district for raising funds to pave two and a quarter miles of highway on the county road, west of this city which have not been included in the county highway system. At a meeting held at Magnolia school house some evenings ago resolutions were unanimously adopted declaring it to be the sense of the tax payers assembled that the road be paved at county expense, and that no assessment district be countenanced. Action of the westsiders spells defeat of efforts to raise money by formation of an assessment district, for in other quarters. this city. The road is one of the important highways leading into town, and with two and a quarter miles remaining unpaved the road hitherward from the Los Angeles county line will in all probability be avoided by through travelers. Failure to form an assessment district will probably set over paving until an indefinite time. The people of this city have been asked to raise $10,000 or $12,000 for protecting the proposed concrete bridge across the river at Olive. The supervisors declared that unless this protection be afforded, the bridge will not be built, nor will the paved highway east of town be constructed. These two important highways leading into this city from the east and west are now up for serious consideration by property owners and business men hereabouts. NEW SHOE STORE IN KROEGER BLOCK Erickson & Nowotny Fitting Up East Room For Louis Handleman Louis Handleman, an eastern merchant who has been seeking a location for the establishment of a shoe store, arrived in Anaheim at 10 o'clock last Saturday and in less than three hours had decided to locate here, had secured funds to pave two and a quarter miles of highway on the county road, west of this city which have not been included in the county highway system. At a meeting held at Magnolia school house some evenings ago resolutions were unanimously adopted declaring it to be the sense of the tax payers assembled that the road be paved at county expense, and that no assessment district be countenanced. Action of the westsiders spells defeat of efforts to raise money by formation of an assessment district, for in other quarters in the region which would probably be included in the district objection to the proposition has been voiced during the week. The matter is now up for consideration before the supervisors, and what action will be taken by the board is as yet an unknown quantity. At the time of laying out the county highway system some months ago this two and a quarter miles of roadway was omitted, for the reason that it lay within the incorporated limits of the west side municipality. Bonds in $1,270,000 were voted last year, and one hundred and seven miles of county highway laid out. Some weeks ago the Stanton trustees voted to abandon this stretch of highway to the county, but at that time all available moneys in the county road fund had been apportioned to construction of other roads, and no funds remain for paving this portion of the west side highway. The system of paved county roads abuts this thoroughfare east and west, and an unpaved stretch of two and a quarter miles remains to be accounted for. Tomorrow the City of Stanton will vote upon a proposition to segregate a large portion of the territory of that municipality. This stretch of two and a quarter miles of highway is included in the strip proposed to be segregated. The Stanton trustees have also on file a petition signed by two-third of the voters of that town asking for calling an election on disincorporating the municipality. Another petition now before the Stanton strustees asks for an election on recall of members of that body. Tomorrow's election on segregation seems to be a compromise measure, and while all the disincorporationists are not included in the segregated strip, storing efforts are making to carry the election and maintain the newly-formed town. Moreover, the Stanton trustees at a recent meeting voted officially to abandon the county road running through that town, and whatever be the result of tomrow's election the highway is now a part of the county road system. In this juncture of affairs, it was some weeks ago suggested by the su NEW SHOE STORE IN KROEGER BLOCK Erickson & Nowotny Fitting Up East Room For Louis Handleman Louis Handleman, an eastern merchant who has been seeking a location for the establishment of a shoe store, arrived in Anaheim at 10 o'clock last Saturday and in less than three hours had decided to locate here, had secured a room and was ordering a stock of goods. He has rented the east room of the Kroeger building of Erickson & Nowotny, who have a lease on the block, and the room is now being fitted up and prepared for the large stock he expects to ship in. The entire front of the building is being altered so that Erickson & Nowotny and the Handleman stores will have plate glass show windows flush with the sidewalk, and separate entrances. Mr. Handleman contemplated locating at Monrovia but parties acquainted with the Southland recommended Anaheim as the most progressive town of its class on the Pacific Coast. He was so well satisfied after a short inspection of the town that he closed a deal for the room at once. FALL FROM STAIRWAY FRACTURES ARM Mrs. Mosseman Meets With Serious Accident at Landing Sunday Mrs. Mosseman suffered a fracture of a bone in the left arm above the wrist at Anaheim Landing on Sunday afternoon and was otherwise injured and severely shaken up by a fall from a stairway leading to a pavilion. One of the steps was broken at the end which caused the fall of the aged lady who was precipited a distance of eight feet to the ground. Her spectacles were broken and she was cut about the face in several places. Her daughter, Mrs. Arthur Lewis, had just left her, and she was accompanied by Mrs. Dickel and Mrs. Dwyer. Immediately after the fall Dr. Parker, who was at the beach for the day, was called and he found the bone fractured as stated. He set the bone temperarily until Mrs. Mosseman could be brought to this city for treatment. She is aged 77 years. She is recovering nicely at the home of her daughter.

WALLOP'S Delightful Society Function Attended by Many Members of Social Set Mrs. Welborn Wallop was the hostess on Wednesday afternoon last at her home on Emily street at a charmingly appointed whist party. In the decorations red was the predominant color. About 30 guests were present and seven card tables were provided for the game of progressive whist, at which the first prize, a dainty house-wife, was won by Mrs. Henry Adams, and the consolation, a pack of cards, by Miss Dora Zeyn. An especially dainty luncheon was served and here as elsewhere red was the prevailing color. During the afternoon a basketfull of red carnations, one of which was marked with a ribbon bow, was passed around and each lady was presented with one. The lucky recipient of the marked one, Mrs. Kemper, received a prize, an embroidered towel. City Attorney H. G. Ames was in Los Angeles the first of the week transacting legal business. In addition to the shipment of oranges will be shipped companies from Anaheim making a total of 375 cars of possibly $400,000, shipped point this season. An ingenious system against damage by frost is subject to low temperature adopted by the heavier system of pipes carrying it being planted in the orchard heater will be provided for. This system it is believed to become popular at Anaheim the damage to the crop in last winter, the coldest during the past third of a year so slight that the grower pursive methods of protection be an unnecessary expense. Mr. Sandilands reports that cheap smudge pots exist some weeks ago are not chased by the growers. Bert Simpson found Venetian attractive spot on the coast. ANAHEIM GAZETTE ANAHEIM FRUIT BRINGS TOP PRICES OTHER COLONY" ORANGES IN DEMAND IN ALL THE EASTERN MARTS OF TRADE CARLOADS OF GOLDEN FRUIT SHIPPED FROM THIS POINT DURING SEASON Two hundred and twenty-five cars ofanges is the total which the Anaheim Fruit Association will ship from packing house in this city during a season which is expected to close out the middle of September. This estimate placed upon the sea's crop handled by that institution Manager Sandilands. Although this union suffered less from the unpreceated cold weather of last winter the stockholders of this co-operative plant experienced some loss from the freezing blasts, the shipments being about cars less than they should have had the winter been a normal one. Notwithstanding this loss the business will be in the neighborhood. ENLARGEMENT OF INTERMENT GROUNDS Pacific Mausoleum Company to Establish Endowed Cemetery in Anaheim A deal was consummated the last week whereby the Pacific Mausoleum Company has purchased the Terry property adjacent to the Anaheim cemetery, and through the manager, L. O. Culp, it has been learned that this company will soon begin the work of grading and plotting the grounds and doing other preliminary work preparatory to establishing a perpetual upkeep cemetery. While it could not be ascertained from Mr. Culp, just what attitude his company would take toward the present cemetery, it was learned upon reliable information that negotiations are under way whereby the mausoleum company will in a measure affiliate itself with the present cemetery association, with a view to bettering the conditions there as well as in the new tract. This move on the part of this company is indicative of the broad plans which it is working out and with the completion of the magnificent mausoleum, which will be under course of construction soon, the cemetery at Anaheim will become one of the best SUGAR FACTORY OPENS 1913 CAMPAIGN ORANGE COUNTY'S FIVE BIG PLANTS ALL MAKING SUGAR THIS WEEK TEN MILLION DOLLARS WILL BE THE VALUE OF THIS SEASON'S PRODUCT IN COUNTY Approximately ten million dollars' worth of sugar will be produced from Orange county soil this season. The five big factories in the county all began the campaign of 1913 this week and each announces an exceptionally heavy run and an increased output. The five plants are the Anaheim sugar factory, the Holly factor at Huntington Beach, the Los Alamitos factory, the Co-operative plant at Santa Ana, and the new factory at the Irvine ranch. Field lieutenants who have examined every foot of land announce that there are nearly one hundred thousand acres of the best sugar beet ground in the world in Orange county. Little more COOK HAS BIRTHDAY City Councilman Surprised on His 41st Anniversary Friday Evening Trustee John Cook was 41 years old last Friday, August 1st, and in order to remind him of the fact that he is growing old a number of friends gathered at his home on Walnut street in the evening. The affair was a complete surprise to Mr. Cook but Mrs. Cook was in the plot and had prepared substantial and dainty refreshments for the entertainment of the guests. Those present were Mr. and Mrs. William Houts, Mr. and Mrs. William McCann, M. W. Martenet, Wm. Stark, F. A. Yungbluth, Pete Nicolas and Herman Noll. Mr. Cook was presented with a beautiful meerschaum pipe by the guests. BUENA PARK NOTES The Chamber of Commerce will hold the regular monthly meeting in Masonic hall on Friday evening, August 8th. At the close of the business session a musical and literary program will be rendered and refreshments served. Mr. and Mrs. J. K. Wymard are contemplating a trip to Honolulu after settling the family in a cottage at Santa Monica. Mr. and Mrs. C. L. McComber and family are enjoying a month's outing among the mountains. Mrs. E. E. Thurman entertained Mrs. R. H. Meyer and her daughter, Mrs. Lund, of Los Angeles, at dinner a few evenings ago. The Neighborhood Embroidery Club were entertained by Mrs. James Watson last week. John Perry has sold his business in Buena Park to the C. B. Scott Company, who own and operate a string of stores in Santa Monica, Los Alamitos and other points. Joseph Keith will manage the Park store, and occupy the house Mr. Perry and family occu- gan the campaign of 1913 this week and each announces an exceptionally heavy run and an increased output. The five plants are the Anaheim sugar factory, the Holly factor at Huntington Beach, the Los Alamitos factory, the Co-operative plant at Santa Ana, and the new factory at the Irvine ranch. Field lieutenants who have examined every foot of land announce that there are nearly one hundred thousand acres of the best sugar beet ground in the world in Orange county. Little more than half of this has been developed and it is probable that another factory or two will yet be built in the county to handle the product of the undeveloped sugar lands. In addition to the acreage owned by the local plants thousands of tons of beets will this year be shipped from Orange county to the Oxnard and Chino factories. Orange county is the foremost county in the United States in the production of beet sugar. Not only does it produce a larger tonnage than any other county but the Orange county beet yields a bigger percentage of saccharine matter than any other beet grown in the world, and if the powers at Washington who are now juggling with the tariff law will consent to let the industry live and develop the 70,000 acres of beet soil in the county will, within a few years, annually give to the world more than 15 million dollars' worth of sugar. In the State of California there are 11 factories representing an invested capital of $20,000,000 and having a daily capacity of 13,500 tons. The United States produces but one-seventh of the sugar consumed in the country, but if the duty on sugar is not removed and the present rapid development of beet sugar territory is maintained for a few years longer the home factories will be able to supply the demand and the United States will cease to be an importer of sugar. The Anaheim factory began slicing beets Monday morning with a force of 250 men inside the big buildings. The company has in the neighborhood of nine thousand acres of beets to dispose of this year, being about one-fourth greater than the acreage of the two previous years. Seven hundred tons of beets will be sliced each day and it is expected that it will be the middle of December before the crop is cleaned up and the wheels stop. Two million dollars' worth of sugar will be produced during the four months' operation in addition to the many valuable bi-products. The plant has undergone a general overhauling during the vacation, much new machinery has been added and it is in a better condition than ever before. A 40-acre sewer farm has been While many of them own a few lemon and grape fruit trees, those fruits are not grown in marketable quantities and are not handled at the packing house. Twenty-five people are now employing inside the house handling the fruit it is delivered and 20 more are engaged in field work. Two years ago the association established its own fumigating plant. It was an experiment but was so satisfactory that two plants are now maintained. A spraying plant for the purpose of eliminating the red spider has also been added to the equipment of the association and is doing good work. In addition to the shipments from the fruit association's plant 125 cars of oranges will be shipped by other companies from Anaheim this season, making a total of 375 cars with a value of possibly $400,000, shipped from this point this season. An ingenious system of guarding against damage by frost in the sections subject to low temperature is being adopted by the heavier growers. The system of pipes carrying distillate is being planted in the orchards. One heater will be provided for each tree. This system it is believed, will never become popular at Anaheim because the damage to the crop in this section last winter, the coldest spell known during the past third of a century, was so slight that the growers think extensive methods of protection would be an unnecessary expense. Mr. Sandilands reports that even the cheap smudge pots exhibited here some weeks ago are not being purchased by the growers. Bert Simpson found Venice the most attractive spot on the coast on Sunday. Mrs. E. E. Thurman entertained Mrs. R. H. Meyer and her daughter, Mrs. Lund, of Los Angeles, at dinner a few evenings ago. The Neighborhood Embroidery Club were entertained by Mrs. James Watson last week. John Perry has sold his business in Buena Park to the C. B. Scott Company, who own and operate a string of stores in Santa Monica, Los Alamitos and other points. Joseph Keith will manage the Park store, and occupy the house Mr. Perry and family occupied in the Park. Many expressions of good will and esteem will follow Mr. Parry and his lovely wife to their new home in Fullerton. Mrs. Nettie Robeson is having her house shingled and painted. J. H. Loughborough has installed a Home telephone. These phones, like the Anaheim Gazette, are popular in the Park. Mrs. R. D. Stark and little son of Wilcox, Arizona, are spending a month in the Park. Mrs. I. D. Jaynes and her sister, Mrs. R. D. Stark, spent yesterday in Los Angeles. Miss Hester Jaynes is spending a week in Los Angeles. TEDFORD WINS DUPONT PRIZE N. B. Tedford captured the prize, a silver badge, offered by the Dupont Powder Works for the best score out of 100 shots by members of the Blue Rock Gun Club, the last shoot for which was pulled off a week ago. Tedford's score was 94, Pete Wisser was a close second with 93 hits, and Roy Gardner with 91 and John Bush with 90 followed. There was no regular shoot last Sunday as all the members of the club were out in pursuit of the festive jack rabbit. What this season's crop of beets will test in saccharine matter is not yet known but there is no reason to believe it will fall behind previous years as the weather conditions have been unusually favorable and the crop is excellent. The yield in tonnage is a heavy one, the entire acreage owned by the Anaheim factory being in splendid condition. The product of the Anaheim factory is distributed through its Los Angeles agency, and the bulk of it is shipped to Kansas City and Chicago from whence it is distributed throughout the country. The Holly factory at Huntington Beach has begun the campaign with a force of 400 men and is slicing 1,200 tons of beets daily. An extra night force is maintained there to handle the beets that are shipped from this region to the American Beet Sugar Company's factories at Chino and Oxnard. The Holly factory will also have a four months' campaign this season. This will be the most prosperous sea- IN the history of Orange county's sugar industry. The five big plants all report an unusually heavy crop besides an increased acreage, and each will have a campaign from two to four weeks longer than last season. The beets were slow in ripening, owing to cool weather during a portion of the season, but there has been no damage to the crop in any portion of the county. The Anaheim factory's first beets are coming in from the Westminster district. CHAPMAN AGAIN ELECTED PRESIDENT For the 12th consecutive year C. C. Chapman, millionaire orange grower and packer of Fullerton, was on Sunday chosen president of the Christian Missionary Society of Southern California, and the announcement of that fact brought the Christian assembly to its feet. There is no man in the Christian faith so beloved as this busy layman, and no one who gives more freely to religious and philanthropic work. Other officers elected are F. M.

PAVING COMPANY NOW AT WORK ON SOUTH LOS ANGELES STREET FOUR MILES OF ASPHALT STREET MAY BE LAID BEFORE THE WORK CEASES E. R. Werdin, superintendent of the L. A. Paving Company, who secured the contract for paving North and South Los Angeles street, has been touring eastern cities for the past month but returned to Anaheim on Monday. During his absence his machinery and plant was moved over from Orange and a camp established on the Southern Pacific tracks just opposite the foot of Claudina street and under the management of E. H. Winig, foreman of the plant, all necessary arrangements were made for immediate work on the streets upon his return. Tuesday morning a force of half a hundred men got busy and the work of extending the pavement on South Los Angeles street from Santa Ana MEGER SUES FOR HEAVY DAMAGES Wants $5,000 For a Broken Nose and Other Injuries Carl Rodemeyer of this city gave his neighbor, G. Meger, a beating on June 11, but ever since then he has been playing a losing game. The two men disagreed over an irrigation ditch. Meger says Rodemeyer knocked him into a ditch and beat and kicked him until he was unconscious. Rodemeyer is 32 years old and husky. Meger is 65. In the attack Meger's nose was broken. Meger had Rodemeyer arrested. Rodemeyer sued Meger seeking an injunction to compel him to allow the ditch to be put through Meger's land. Last week the case was tried, and Rodemeyer lost. He will have to build a ditch around Meger's land. Rodemeyer was tried in Justice Cox's court at Santa Ana Saturday and found guilty of battery upon Meger. He was fined $200. Another round was started Saturday MANY BIDDERS FOR COUNTY HOSPITAL Home Contractors Underbid Outsiders by Large Margin J. V. Pruitt of Orange and A. E. Bird of Santa Ana presented the lowest figure Tuesday morning when bids were opened for building a new county hospital on the county farm at West Orange. Their bid is $37,718, which is almost $4,300 lower than the next lowest bid, $42,000, put in by C. McNeill of Santa Ana. C. M. Jordan of Santa Ana also put in a bid that was lower than any of the outsiders' bids, except one. Each bid was accompanied by a certified check of 5 per cent of the bid is 32 years old and husky. Meger is 65. In the attack Meger's nose was broken. Meger had Rodemeyer arrested. Rodemeyer sued Meger seeking an injunction to compel him to allow the ditch to be put through Meger's land. Last week the case was tried, and Rodemeyer lost. He will have to build a ditch around Meger's land. Rodemeyer was tried in Justice Cox's court at Santa Ana Saturday and found guilty of battery upon Meger. He was fined $200. Another round was started Saturday when Meger entered suit against Rodemeyer for $5,000 damages for injuries received when Rodemeyer broke his nose. The sum of $700 additional is asked for doctor's and nurse's bills and loss of work. Should the Superior Court find Rodemeyer as seriously at fault as he appeared in the Justice Court, Meger will win this round hands down. ACCIDENT DELAYS BAKER Baker Jensen was delayed on Saturday afternoon in delivering bread, pies and cakes to his numerous customers by an accident which befell him on South Claudina street. As he was turning in the thoroughfare his high-stepping mare, Nellie fell, breaking the shaft. Mr. Jensen unhitched the horse and returned with it to his place of business, putting the horse in the stable. He procured another rig, and driving to the place where his disabled delivery wagon remained in the street, transferred his cargo to the new wagon and proceeded on his way. Later the crippled vehicle was run into a blacksmith shop for repairs. Mr. and Mrs. W. T. Wallop were in Pasadena on Sunday, guests of Mr. and Mrs. Jim Balfour. J. V. Pruitt of Orange and A. E.
