Entered at the Anaheim Postoffice as second-class matter. LET THIS CITY SETTLE ITS INTERNAL AFFAIRS ALONE Whether or not the saloons of Anaheim shall continue to exist is a question that appears to be of deep concern to some of our neighboring cities. Two months ago the campaign against them was inaugurated and it has been carried forward principally by non-residents with the people of Anaheim on the defensive. Evangelist Brown, the noted reformer, who is charged with being a reformer for revenue only, launched the opening shaft, and since his departure, Editor Young, of Los Angeles, who prints the Anaheim Herald at Santa Ana, has been the generalissimo or the dry forces. During the several weeks the campaign has been in progress we have had a Santa Ana night at the evangelist tent, an Orange night, a Fullerton night and the good people of Whittier came down in force to tell us of the evils in our midst and to give the citizens of Anaheim good advice. Why should they be so vitally interested in the affairs of Anaheim and neglect their own municipalities? It is a matter of record that there are 15 government liquor licenses held in this city while 34 are owned by residents of Santa Ana. Perhaps four or five of the Santa Ana licenses are held by druggists who handle liquor in accordance with law but it is unreasonable this a dry town, is a matter admitting of no doubt whatever. Everybody knows one may purchase whiskey or other liquors in these towns as well as Riverside, Redlands, Pomona, Pasadena, and other prohibition towns. One need only know where liquors are on sale in these dry towns to be able to procure it in all manner of lots. If he know not the location of these places he will find no trouble whatever in eliciting information upon the subject from inhabitants of the town on every side. Let these prohibition towns make their own communities thoroughly dry before attempting to come to Anaheim and advise against our plan of licensing liquor establishments and making them bear their proportionate burdens of taxation in the community. Let Anaheim settle its own internal affairs as seems best for the interests of citizens and taxpayers of the community. HOME INSTRUCTION TO AGRICULTURISTS State Agricultural Schools Are Valuable Institutions Fifty years ago Congress passed the Morrill bill establishing State agricultural colleges. Twenty-five years ago the Hatch bill was passed establishing the experiment stations. It is now proposed by Senator Smith of Georgia to take the information, scientific and accurate in its nature, which has been gathered at the colleges of agriculture and at the experiment stations, and place it alongside the home of the farmer and there, by demonstration, give him the benefit of all the information thus acquired. Mayor Max Nebelung yesteryear pended his signature to the dispatch, which will be forward Wednesday next to Mayor Coffeyville, Kansas, which is ed home of Walter Johnson, ous baseball pitcher, who s phenomenal baseball career local diamond a dozen y Johnson will pitch for the Coffeyville board of trade clared a holiday for that dayiness will be entirely susp honor of the home-coming of Washington twirler. Mayor Nebelung reads as follows: "Anaheim, Cal., Oct. 27." "Mayor Curry, Coffeyville," "Greetings to Walter John his former team-mates, friend clates and admirers of Anaheim he pitched his first baseball started upon his phenomena We rejoice with citizens of O who will tomorrow see in a greatest baseball pitcher tha came down in force to tell us of the evils in our midst and to give the citizens of Anaheim good advice. Why should they be so vitally interested in the affairs of Anaheim and neglect their own municipalities? It is a matter of record that there are 15 government liquor licenses held in this city while 34 are owned by residents of Santa Ana. Perhaps four or five of the Santa Ana licenses are held by druggists who handle liquor in accordance with law but it is unreasonable to presume that the balance were purchased for the sole philanthropic purpose of swelling the revenue of the United States. Two of the speakers at the tent have made the statement that it was impossible for blind pigs to exist when the people were diligent in prosecuting them, and that blind pigs meant blind police and indifferent citizens. Rev. Brown also emphatically declared that if a blind pig or a bootlegger existed in a community, the people were responsible for it. Figures of the government licenses under which liquor is sold at Orange, Fullerton and Whittier are not available but there is ample evidence that the good people of those cities are indifferent to the evils at home but mightily and virtuously shocked at the wickedness of Anaheim. When the Wyllie local option law was proposed in the 1911 session of the legislature as a fair and peaceful means of letting each community settle its affairs for itself, it looked like a reasonable thing. People insisted that if a community wanted prohibition it should have it. If it wanted licensed saloons it should have them and other sections of the state or other communities would have no voice in the matter. Such was the argument for a local option law which professed to leave the "option" to each local community. Nevertheless the question to be decided in Anaheim on November 6 is not one of prohibition. It is aimed merely to eliminate the saloons and the wholesale houses, leaving the wineries and the brewery undisturbed with the exception that they will be permitted to sell only in quantities of two gallons or upward. One may not be able to buy a glass of beer should the drys carry the election, but he can phone to the brewery and get a keg. One cannot purchase a glass of sparkling California Riesling at a bar but a winery is permitted to send him two gallons or a dray load. They bar the right of purchasing liquor by the glass at a saloon, but give one the right by the terms of this absurd law of lugging home two gallons of whiskey and the good people of Anaheim. Morrill bill establishing State agricultural colleges. Twenty-five years ago the Hatch bill was passed establishing the experiment stations. It is now proposed by Senator Smith of Georgia to take the information, scientific and accurate in its nature, which has been gathered at the colleges of agriculture and at the experiment stations, and place it alongside the home of the farmer and there, by demonstration, give him the benefit of all the information thus acquired. Section 2 of the bill introduced by Senator Smith provides that co-operative agricultural extension work shall consist of the giving of instruction and practical demonstrations in agriculture and home economics to persons not attending or resident in said colleges in the several communities, and imparting to such persons information on said subjects through field demonstrations, publications, and otherwise; and this work shall be curried on in such manner as may be mutually agreed upon by the Secretary of Agriculture or his representative and the state agricultural college or colleges receiving the benefits of this act. An appropriation si asked of $480,000, or $10,000 to each state, which by the action of its legislature shall assent to the provisions of the act. A further appropriation of $300,000 is asked for the next year, and $300,000 more each additional year for nine years, until the annual appropriation each shall amount to $3,000,000. The additional sums shall be allotted annually by the Secretary of Agriculture to each state in the proportion which the rural population of each state bears to total rural population of all the states, as determined by the next preceding federal census. It is provided, however, that no payment out of the additional appropriations shall be made in any year to any state until an equal sum has been appropriated for that year by the legislature of such state, or provided by state, county, college, or local authority for the maintenance of co-operative agricultural extension work. The agricultural colleges and experiment stations have been of great help to the farmers of the land, although those living at a distance from them have not often found time to visit them for advice. The proposed law will enable the college to send to the farmers of each neighborhood a competent officer who will advise each one for what product his soil is best fitted and what and when to plant, and what fertilizer to use on the soil. The benefit to our farmers and to Anaheim, Cal., Oct. 27 Mayor Curry, Coffeyville, Greetings to Walter John, his former team-mates, friends clients and admirers of Anahe he pitched his first baseball hit started upon his phenomenon. We rejoice with citizens of O who will tomorrow see in an greatest baseball pitcher ther ever produced. MAX NEBER Mayor City of A R. E.

Under its provisions if Anaheim votes "dry" it must remain dry for two years as the question cannot be taken up again until the expiration of that period. On the other hand if it remains "wet" the apostles of prohibition can immediately reopen the campaign under the initiative, referendum and recall act. We would suggest to our neighbors in the dry towns of Long Beach, Whittier, Orange, Santa Ana and Fullerton, that the question of prohibition in Anaheim is one which effects our citizens solely, and not the residents of any locality outside. We do not understand why we should have a Long Beach night at the tent, a Whittier night, a Fullerton night, an Orange night, or a Santa Ana night. Let us rather refer the issue to the citizens of this city who are abundantly able mentally and morally to judge for themselves whether they want prohibition here or not. Let these delegations from outlying communities sweep about their own doorsteps at home before attempting to set themselves up as arbiters of what we shall do here in Anaheim. That whiskey and beer are sold at Long Beach, Whittier, and these other dry towns now sending delegations here to assist in making A. A. Mills has received a letter from N. D. Darlington of the state highway commission, stating that the contract for the state road from the Los Angeles county line to Fullerton and this city and the northern boundary of Santa Ana has been awarded and that construction work will begin in the immediate future. Mr. Mills is also in receipt of a letter from the state surveyor general enclosing estimates of the cost of paving the entire road between this city and Fullerton. The estimates amount to about $30,000 for the work, but property owners along the line believe these figures can be materially reduced. MISSION APARTMENTS Corner West Chartres and Lemon Sts.

GREETINGS TO FORMER LOCAL BALL PLAYER MAYOR NEBELUNG PREPARES A MESSAGE TO MAYOR OF COFFEYVILLE, KANSAS O-TIME FRIENDS OF WALTER JOHNSON JOIN IN WELL WISHES TO HIM Mayor Max Nebelung yesterday appended his signature to the following match, which will be forwarded on Wednesday next to Mayor Curry of Teyville, Kansas, which is the adopthome of Walter Johnson, the famly baseball pitcher, who started his nonenal baseball career on the final diamond a dozen years ago. Johnson will pitch for the Coffeyville league against Kansas City on Thursday, October 30. In honor of the event, Coffeyville board of trade has devied a holiday for that day and business will be entirely suspended in order of the home-coming of the great washington twirler. Mayor Nebelung's program reads as follows: "Anaheim, Cal., Oct. 29, 1913. Mayor Curry, Coffeyville, Kan.: Greetings to Walter Johnson from former team-mates, friends, associes and admirers of Anaheim, where pitched his first baseball game, and started upon his phenomenal career. I rejoice with citizens of Coffeyville to will tomorrow see in action the latest baseball pitcher the game has Then he blanked the Highlanders, which ever since has been one of his favorite occupations, 2 to 0. He was particularly active in using the brush on them in September, 1908, blanking them on Friday, September 4; Saturday, September 5, and Monday, September 7. In those three games the New York team acquired a dozen hits, making six in the first game, four in the second and two in the third. The way that Johnson came to pitch three games in a row for Washington that year was that of the four pitchers Manager Cantillion took with him to New York all save Johnson were stricken with ailments. Tom Hughes and Jesse Tannehill both found they had sore arms and Bert Keely was felled by tonsilitis. Johnson undoubtedly would have pitched all four games of that series had he not been hit on the groin with a pitched ball while he was whitewashing the New Yorks for the third successive time. As a kalsominer Johnson is in a class by himself. No major league pitcher ever has kept his adversaries away from the plate 49 times in his seven seasons. This is Johnson’s achievement from 1907 to 1913, inclusive, and in 1907 it must be taken into consideration that he was with the Senators only one-third of the campaign. The Chalmers trophy winner has pitched 11 shutout games this year, previously having 33 such events to his credit. Johnson has whitewashed New York 11 times; Cleveland six times; Philadelphia six times; St. Louis six times; Boston five times; Chicago five times, and Detroit five times. Johnson has specialized in strike-outs as well as in shut-outs. His greatest year for whiffing men was in 1910, when he claimed 313 victims in about 42 full games. Last year, in 368 innings he struck out 303 men; this year, in 324 innings, he has fanned 227 "Anaheim, Cal., Oct. 29, 1913. Mayor Curry, Coffeyville, Kan.: Greetings to Walter Johnson from the former team-mates, friends, associates and admirers of Anaheim, where pitched his first baseball game, and acted upon his phenomenal career. Rejoice with citizens of Coffeyville who will tomorrow see in action the greatest baseball pitcher the game has produced. MAX NEBELUNG, "Mayor City of Anaheim." E. Vaughn, of this city, a former mayor of Coffeyville several years, knows Johnson and his family, the honor of paying for the telem. Mr. Vaughn is an enthusiastic fan, and in company of every lover the game in this city considers John the greatest pitcher who ever opened out of the tall grass at Anaheim. Johnson began his pitcher career on grounds west of the Santa Fe de here a dozen or more years ago. Pitched for the Olinda team, which later on amalgamated with localayers, and he pitched against Los Angeles clubs, defeating every one of them with one or two exceptions. It was while pitching on the local dia and that his performance caught the attention of a representative of the Northwest League, and he was signed to pitch in Idaho. He was later on signed to the Washington club of the Ameri- League and has been with that job ever since. He landed his club in second place this year, being beat-out Connie Mack's Athletics. From a friend club he has lifted the Senators to a commanding position in the national game. He has been signed to pitch for Washington next year at a salary of $12,500. He is spending the winter with his parents at Coffeyville and will next Thursday pitch what promises to be the greatest game ever played in Kansas. Vaughn's former town has declared a legal holiday in honor of the tent, and Johnson's former teammates and friends join with Mayor Nebelung in sending greetings to the former Anaheimer. Johnson has been recently voted a Chalmers touring car for the rea that a commission of newspaper have declared his services to his son of greater value than those of other player in the American league. He was born in Humboldt, on November 6, 1887, and he made his debut in the American league on August 2, 1907, Detroit be the first team to get a chance to 11 shutout games this year, previously having 33 such events to his credit. Johnson has whitewashed New York 11 times; Cleveland six times; Philadelphia six times; St. Louis six times; Boston five times; Chicago five times, and Detroit five times. Johnson has specialized in strikeouts as well as in shut-outs. His greatest year for whiffing men was in 1910, when he claimed 313 victims in about 42 full games. Last year, in 368 innings he struck out 303 men; this year, in 324 innings, he has fanned 227 athletes. Johnson's best achievement in strikeouts in a nine-inning game was on August 31, 1910, when he fanned 14 of the St. Louis Browns. This year he retired 16 of the Planters on strikes in 11 and two-thirds innings, the date he turned the trick being July 25. On July 12, 1910, Johnson made 13 of the Browns hit nothing but the air in a game that was only eight innings long. Johnson never has been able to pitch a no-hit game in fast company, but he thrice has almost turned the trick. In the opening game of the campaign in 1910 he limited the Athletics to one safety, made by J. Franklin Baker, and that same season he confined the Browns to a single hit, poled by Arthur Truesdale. On June 10 this year Detroit only was able to obtain one hit off the man whom the Chalmers trophy commissioners have named as the player who did more for his team than anyone else. Johnson has lost only seven games this year, the men who have vanquished him being Ray Collins of Boston, twice (each time by the score of 1 to 0), Bill Steen and Vean Gregg of Cleveland, and Joe Bush twice) and Carroll Brown of the Athletics. The average number of runs obtained off Johnson this year per game is: average number of hits, 5.86. NOTES FROM OIL FIELD A good oil strike has been made in the Standard's well No. 1 on lease No. 2 in the city limits of Fullerton. The well has not developed into a gusher, but within a short time after oil was found in the hole, early Saturday morning, the oil stood at a depth of 700 feet in the well, which is down over 3,500 feet. Local drillers say the well will now pump over 500 barrels daily. It will be put on the pump soon, and unless it produces at least 500 barrels daily, the hole will be deepened. It is on what is known as one of the Coyotes leases, which is located east of the Murphy and Emery wells. The Monte Cristo well is reported Johnson has been recently voted a by Chalmers touring car for the reation that a commission of newspaper have declared his services to his man of greater value than those of other player in the American ague. He was born in Humboldt, on November 6, 1887, and he made his debut in the American ague on August 2, 1907, Detroit bethe first team to get a chance to against the local phenom. Johnson not twist the Tigers' tail and neithid the Tigers claw him so that he to seek medical aid. Johnson hoped eight innings against them, putting the Jenningsites to two runs in six hits. His discoverer, Cliff Bankship, batted for him in the 8th Tom Hughes finished up the game, which was a Detroit victory, score 3. Of the men who took part in the game in which Johnson made his deonly Johnson himself, Tom Hughes, Sam Crawford and Ty Cobb main in fast company. Although he lost his first game, Johnson had the satisfaction of knowing his work had pleased Manager Cantillon and Walter was immemely considered one of the regular washington pitchers and took his turn the box along with Tom Hughes, Cy Kenberg, Charles Smith and Hank Spring, since dead. Johnson, in the of 1907, was never once hammered by any of his opponents and most the games he dropped were by low res. Going up against the St. Louis owns for the first time, he was reeased a loser, 1 to 0, Barney Pelty thing against him. The first time Johnson twirled against the Athletics dropped his battle, 3 to 2, Eddie ink opposing him. Johnson's New York debut was acplished on September 12, 1907. Local drillers say the well will now pump over 500 barrels daily. It will be put on the pump soon, and unless it produces at least 500 barrels daily, the hole will be deepened. It is on what is known as one of the Coyotes leases, which is located east of the Murphy and Emery wells. The Monte Cristo well is reported to have a very heavy oil at 3,650 feet. The well is producing about fifteen barrels of oil a day in 200 barrels of water. At present the water has not been shut off. The company will probably sink the hole to a depth of at least 4,000 feet. It is reported that work on the Monte Cristo Armstrong well has been delayed on account of a strike of salt water. The Fisher Oil Company has one of the deepest holes in the Fullerton field. The well is now down over 5,000 feet and has gone through nearly 150 feet of oil sand. Well No. 4 on the Fullerton Oil Company's lease is now down 2,600 feet, and No. 8 is down nearly 3,300 feet. The North American is spudding in on well No. 2 on the Klokke lease. No. 1 has been changed from cable to rotary tools. The California-Oklahoma Oil Company, a new concern, has commenced drilling a well north of Placentia, having purchased the rig of the Patterson company. William Farrand, who has been superintendent for the Brea Canyon Oil Company for many years, has resigned and is succeeded by Abe Yost, who has been drilling in the Fullerton fields for nearly 15 years. Well No. 11 on the company's lease is down over 3,500 feet, and No. 12 has reached a depth of nearly 2,000 feet. 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.
