STANTON'S CUP IN HANDS OF WINNERS THE BEAUTIFUL PRIZE FIRST WON BY ANAHEIM NOW OWNED BY GARDEN GROVE WAS WON BY THAT TOWN AT LAST ANNUAL BARBECUE BUT LOST BEFORE PRESENTATION That beautiful silver loving cup purchased by the city of Stanton more than two years ago and offered by that city as a souvenir to the neighboring municipality having the largest delegation at its anniversary barbecue, has been found and is now in the hands of the parties to whom it rightfully belongs. Anaheim won the cup on the first anniversary by sending a delegation of 150 boosters into Stantan on that occasion and giving the natives the surprise of their lives. A number of the prominent citizens of that town came here upon an appointed date, were banqueted by the board of trade and formally presented the cup to Anaheim. Notwithstanding the fancied antagonism existing between the two towns at that time the occasion was one of the jolliest ever experienced in this city. Anaheim kept the cup for a year but on the next anniversary Garden Grove won it by sending the largest delegation. MANY GOING TO CIRCUS Ringling Brothers' circus is attracting unusual interest this season because of its many new features and the new aspect given the show by the addition of the great spectacle, "Joan of Arc." The circus will be seen in Santa Ana on Friday, September 12, and this city and surrounding country will be well represented as it always is when Ringling Brothers are within excursion distance. There will be a new parade in the forenoon three miles in length. The menagerie is practically twice as big as it was last year and contains many specimens of strange animal life new to American zoos. Audiences will be entertained by 375 of the greatest of Europe's circus artists. Chief among the stars who are exploiting novelties and sensational acts are: The Saxon Trio of the world's strongest men, whose wonderful feats of strength have startled Europe. No act like this has ever been seen in America. Close upon it in importance are the Balkani family of sensual riders, the Janowsky family of novelty acrobats, the three Jahns, ladder-balancing sensationalists, the Lorbeer troupe, who juggle human beings; the Portia quartette of women contortionists, the Maryland family of springboard gymnasts, the Alpine family of wire performers, Capt. Huling's two troupes of performing seals and sealions, the Schuman performing horses, the three herds of best trained elephants on earth, Mijarez, the Mexican wizard of the high wire, the Klarkonian aerialists, and the 50 funniest clowns on earth.

Editor Bennett, whose erratic behavior made him the target for all manner of charges and suspicions was supposed to be responsible for all the trouble but the cup has been unearthed and is now in the hands of the rightful owners, according to the following from last week's Stanton Optimist: "On Monday the cup won by Garden Grove at the anniversary barbecue at Stanton, was duly and appropriately presented at Improvement Association meeting held at the Garden Grove Y.

He spoke of the mutual relationship of the two cities, and the possibilities of progress and development in ways which would benefit both places. One point was the value of organization and the planning by which one thing at once was undertaken. There is always difference of opinion, said he, over what is the next best thing to do, which often leads to conflict until nothing is done. But by centering on one thing and doing it and then taking some one thing else, it is possible to do great things. In presenting the cup he made emphatic the value of the friendly spirit. "W.E. Perry made the speech of acceptance. One point of mutual need mentioned was a better rural delivery service. It takes a letter longer to reach a party living a half mile north of the Garden Grove postoffice than it does to get it into San Francisco and have it delivered by carrier there, the letters starting at the same time. At Stanton a letter going to a party a mile from the office has to go to Los Angeles and back by way of Anaheim. A mutual pull might help to get the matter properly adjusted. The speaker suggested the great possibilities for Stanton." "The third class is the drinker who stands at the bar and pours the fiery liquid down his throat. What does he get out of it? Sorrow and poverty. I have some patience with an old drunkard, but none for the young man who will walk into a saloon and drink the stuff." IN AND ABOUT COUNTY Mexicans Disagree One of the frequent fights between Mexicans at Talbert occurred Sunday when Cruz Tapio was struck over the head with a beer bottle in the hands of Juan Alvarado. The latter picked up Tapio who had been rendered unconscious by the blow and carried him in Tapio's own buggy to Bolsa where he dropped him near the ranch of Sterling Price. The sheriff's office at Santa Ana was notified and Deputy Law arrested Alvarado whom he found about two miles from Bolsa. His preliminary hearing on a charge of assault was set for September 5 at 10 o'clock. Bonds For Water Works The Santa Ana Chamber of Commerce has adopted resolutions endorsing the proposals to vote $63,000 bonds for the water works, and $12,000 for the fire department. Thursday there was a meeting of the committee chosen by the Chamber of Commerce to secure options on sites near Santa Ana to be offered to the state as proposed sites for the new state hospital for the insane. Three sites have already been offered in this county. It is argued locally that the more sites offered from the county the more likely it is that the state will select a site in this county. On the committee are N. A. Ulm, H. T. Rutherford, John Beatty, J. P. Baumgartner, Horace McPhee, A. J. Crookshank and E. B. Trago. Santa Ana Aviatrix Files Tuesday evening for half an hour Florence Seidel, the Santa Ana aviatrix, was in the air over Newport Bay, making one of the most successful flights that she has yet undertaken. After two weeks of disappointment. PROCEEDINGS OF I. COUNTY SUPERVISORS Bids Asked For Construction of Talbert Bridge, Opened September 16 The board met pursuant to adjournment, August 28.

Santa Ana Aviatrix Files Tuesday evening for half an hour Florence Seidel, the Santa Ana aviatrix, was in the air over Newport Bay, making one of the most successful flights that she has yet undertaken. After two weeks of disappointments over engine troubles, yesterday's splendid exhibition came as a relief to the plucky flier. With the engine working perfectly, the hydro-aeroplane was pushed into the water, and the woman flier took her place at the wheel. Leaving behind a path of foam, the giant bird rose easily from the water, and amid the cheers of scores of spectators, the machine began to climb upward. The aviatrix cut three figure eights over Balboa Island and the bay. The machine was working perfectly, and the aviatrix was enjoying every second of the flight. After cutting the figure eights she kept on flying instead of coming down as she had intended. She arose between 800 and 1,000 feet, took a turn out over the ocean, and came back to the surface of the bay, making a splendid landing. The flight lasted for fully 30 minutes. Board Receives Bids The Board of Supervisors last Thursday let a contract to Withers & Crites, Los Angeles, contractors, for paving two and a half miles of road between Orange and Olive. The price is $12,079.87. This is the fourth contract let under the $1,270,000 good roads bond issue. The next contract to be let will be for four and a half miles of road running directly north from Huntington Beach, joining the road now being built westward from Santa Ana by C. E. Chamberlain, who got the first contract let under the system. The highway commission is of the opinion that it is not advisable to let more contracts at this time, owing to the fact that there is a scarcity of materials, and better figures may be received later when the county's rock crusher is in operation. Bids also were received for constructing a reinforced concrete county hospital at West Orange. The bids, taken under advisement, were: C. McNeill, $44,941; Long Beach Construction Company, $46,200; Long Beach Brick Company, $47,625; C. M. Jordan, $45,763; W. A. Schumacher Construction Company, $40,950.

WALNUTS IN STORAGE ARE VERY SCARCE Last Year's Crop Exhausted and New Crop Will Bring Good Prices There are less walnuts in storage in California today than there has been in ten years," declared R. M. Hargrave, president of the Richland Walnut Association, in discussing the walnut situation. Such was the scarcity of walnuts in the city of Los Angeles, itself actually in the walnut belt, that three cars of French walnuts were shipped into that city this summer. The shortage was due to the fact that last year's crop was cleaned up Commission has set September 13th, at 1 o'clock, in the San Francisco office of the commission, as the time and place where arguments will be heard on application for a rehearing of the recent rate case in which the carrying company lost out. The committee caused suit to be brought against the company through the district attorney, and it was joined with others of the same character pending. FIRM FOUNDATION Nothing Can Undermine It in Anaheim People are sometimes slow to recognize true merit, and they cannot be blamed, for so many have been humbugged in the past. The experience of hundreds of Anaheim residents, expressed publicly through newspapers and other sources, places Doan's Kidney Pills on a firm foundation here. Mrs. L. K. Marshall, 310 N. Los Angeles street, Anaheim, Cal., says: "I didn't sleep well on account of kidney weakness. My back was weak and I got up in the morning feeling languid and tired. My feet, ankles and limbs were swollen. It had dizzy spells and headaches. When having a severe attack of this trouble, I was induced to try Doan's Kidney Pills. They helped me so much that I continued taking them and they made me well. Since then, whenever I have needed a kidney medicine, I have taken a few doses of Doan's Kidney Pills and they have warded off any attack of the complaint. Another in our home has taken Doan's Kidney Pills with good results." For sale by all dealers. Price 50 cents. Foster-Milburn Co., Buffalo, New York, sole agents for the United States. Remember the name—Doan's—and take no other.-Adv. when the county's rock crusher is in operation. Bids also were received for constructing a reinforced concrete county hospital at West Orange. The bids, taken under advisement, were: C. McNeill, $44,941; Long Beach Construction Company, $46,200; Long Beach Brick Company, $47,625; C. M. Jordan, $45,763; W. A. Schumacher Construction Company, $40,950. The new hospital building will be modern in every respect. It will be located on the county farm. Woman Truant Officer The school board at Santa Ana appointed Miss Sallie Cartmell as truant officer of the city schools. Hitherto that office has been held by one of the constables. Miss Cartmell is the school nurse, and as such has come into close contact with the pupils, and their home life, and the school board believes that she can do effective work as truant officer, particularly along the line of securing co-operation on the part of parents of children who are prone to avoid going to school. The school board gave its sanction to the use of the word polytechnic in the name of the high school. Next month the group of new school buildings will be completed. Principal McMath favored calling the school the Santa Ana high school, arguing that the school is not strictly a polytechnic school, since it also contains the regular high school courses. The chamber of commerce, however, insisted that the name polytechnic be used, declaring that the word has a big advertising value in this modern day. By the decision of the school board no courses are changed, and the effect will be to emphasize the fact that the city has polytechnic departments in its high school. The board ordered that equipment be put in for a school cafeteria. It is asserted that other schools maintain a cafeteria for the instruction of its domestic science pupils, and make the institution pay its way by selling lunches to pupils at 10 cents per meal. Crop Will Bring Good Prices There are less walnuts in storage in California today than there has been in ten years," declared R. M. Hargrave, president of the Richland Walnut Association, in discussing the walnut situation. Such was the scarcity of walnuts in the city of Los Angeles, itself actually in the walnut belt, that three cars of French walnuts were shipped into that city this summer. The shortage was due to the fact that last year's crop was cleaned up so that practically nothing was left and a quarter of the previous year's crop, which had been held over, was also taken. Mr. Hargrave, although he makes no prediction, admits that he expects the awlnut association to establish a good price this year. Last year it was 14 cents, and the year before it was 15 cents per pound. Efforts of the association men are now being directed toward securing an accurate estimate of the amount of the association's crop, so that a sound basis for fixing the price may be had. BEETS YIELD HIGH The beet crop in Ventura county is yielding exceptionally high in sugar this year, 20 per cent being found in many sections. The yield is normal in quantity. Lima beans throughout the county are nearly ready for harvesting. While the yield is not universally heavy, with the increased acreage this year the quantity promises to be fully up to that of last year. Walnuts give indications of a good crop throughout the county. For testing the ignition systems of gasoline engines there has been invented an instrument that records the timing and ignition of a magnetic on a chart wrapped around a revolving drum. In San Diego beer, we are producing a brand that is unexcelled, even by the most widely advertised brands manufactured in Europe or America. It is as near perfect as human agency can produce, and we believe justly popular. All Anaheim wholesale dealers sell it in bottles and Germania Hall saloon sells it from the wood.
