The little miss was called back to acknowledge an encore after which the applause continued with calls for the author until Mrs. Dyer appeared and thanked them for the kind ovation. Christmas day in the morning was then given by Fay Kern. This young lady shows marked dramatic ability. She responded to encore with "That Little Dog." Another beautiful piano selection from Miss Lois Dyer closed the program, when Mother Goose, Red Riding Hood and Bo Peep carried baskets of candy stockings through the audience for the children who cleared a corner of the hall and made merry with games. It was said to be one of the most enjoyable afternoons of the Ebell year.

"The Vocation Motive in Education," Dr. Richard G. RUIZ HAS HEARING BEFORE JUDGE HOWARD Mexican Who Created Rough House on Santa Ana Street Bound Over Gergario Ruiz, who was arrested November 26 upon a charge of assault with intent to commit murder, was brought from Santa Ana to Anaheim Thursday morning by Deputy District Attorney Arthur Koepsel, who conducted the Mexican's preliminary examination before Justice Howard. On November 25 Ruiz went to the home of Andrew Feliz early in the morning when the family was eating breakfast, and is alleged to have attempted to kill a young Mexican woman named Refuica Acedo, who was at the home of Feliz. Andrew Feliz, in protecting the woman from the large knife in the hands of Ruiz, received three ugly wounds. He appeared in the preliminary hearing as the main witness, telling how, why and where he received the gashes. He identified the knife which Ruiz used, and the blood-soaked undershirt and outside shirt, which he was wearing at the time of the assault. Feliz's coat was also produced, showing a gash in the left sleeve and another in the back. In trying to take the knife from Ruiz it was drawn through Feliz's left hand, severely cutting his second and third fingers. In the melee he received also a cut in the left upper arm and another in the back. The father of Feliz, Manuel Feliz, told of the fight much the same as his son, as did also Refuica Acedo, the woman in the case. Ruiz stated he could not hire an attorney, as he was out of money and that he had no witnesses. He had no statement to make as to the fight. He was only anxious to secure some of his belongings which he said the woman had in her possession, but as that had no connection with the examination it was ignored.

Talbert, president of the Oil Cloth and Linoleum Company of Huntington Beach, has returned from New York City, where he has been buying the machinery for the factory to be established adjoining the city limits of Huntington Beach. With him came S. J. White, who is to be manager of the new concern. Work on the buildings of the factory will begin at once. Growth of Standard Oil The Standard Oil Company is busily engaged in running a double pipe line six inches in diameter, 23 miles long from Northam, near Fullerton, to El Segundo by the sea. It will enable the company to handle about 35,000 barrels of oil a day. One well brought in about three weeks ago in this field is flowing 10,000 barrels a day, the total production from the well in a few weeks being about 200,000 barrels, worth in the field something like $175,-000. The company's total production in California is said to exceed 50,000 barrels a day. School House For Seal Beach Seal Beach is to have a fine new school building right away. At a meeting of the school committee of the Seal Beach district held Wednesday night, the offer of the Bayside Land Company and the Guy M. Rush Company to provide a site in block 211, consisting of 20 lots, was unanimously accepted. The proposition of the Guy M. Rush Company and the Bayside Land Company was to contribute $6,-500 on the price of these lots, making the cost to the taxpayers only $5,000, provided that the taxpayers would add that same amount to the cost of the J. B. LAVIN WRITES UPON PARK SITE Renews Suggestion That a Location Be Referred to Vote of People Editor Gazette: In the last issue of the Gazette it is stated that City Trustee Hamler says that if the $20,000 park bond proposition carries, the city trustees will appoint a park board of eight members, one from each of the eight polling precincts of the city, and they together with the mayor, making a board of nine members, shall have the selection of a park site. This selection, Mr. Hamler says, will give every section of the city a voice in the matter. This sounds plausible at first sight, but let us see how it looks after a closer examination and mature consideration. Of course the city trustees will select and appoint the eight members of this board. There are five city trustees. Should two of the trustees object to any one or all of the eight nominated for this park board, the three remaining trustees being in the majority, could therefore, name this board. Thus we would have this board selected by three men, and even though all the trustees agree to the eight names, they would be appointed by only five men whose judgment is as apt to be warped or clouded as any other five men in our city. In this I am borne out by what was but a short time ago general street talk, that one at least of our present city trustees was in favor of purchasing a small plot of ground for a park that was scarcely large enough for a kindergarten play ground, and pay an amount for same, double what the ground would bring at private sale. Then when it comes to a selection of a site, should there be a disagreement in this board of nine members as to the site, (and it is inevitable that there will be a disagreement), the rule of the majority must prevail, and thus we have the park site selected by possibly five men. CALIFORNIA GOLD DEPOSITS Few mining regions in California have attracted so much general attention and held it for so long a time as the Klamath Mountains of Siskiyou and Trinity counties in the northeast part of the state. The placers along Trinity and Klamath rivers were developed early in the gold rush and have been worked with varying energy to the present time. The La Grange mine, which is one of the largest hydraulic placers in the world, is now in the height of its activity, says the United States Geological Survey. The outlook for future placer mining in this region is encouraging. The success of the La Grange mine consists in economical treatment on a large scale of relatively low-grade gravel. The success of the dredging at Trinity Center and of the placers north of Lewiston gives confidence to those who are attempting larger developments at the mouth of Eastman Gulch and at the bend of Trinity River above Lewiston, and the region may well be regarded as worthy of investigation by capitalists interested in dredging and hydraulic mining. Gold was first discovered in the Weaverville quadrangle in 1848. In the fall of that year $60,000 worth was taken from the bed of Clear Creek. It is impossible to make any close estimate of the amount of gold produced from the lode mines in the quadrangle, but it is believed that the total is in excess of $15,000,000. In certain of the deposits of the region practically all the gold is contained in small scattered pockets near the surface. One of these pockets yielded as much as $45,000 in a distance of 44 feet; from another a single plate of gold weighing 100 ounces is said to At a meeting of the school committee of the Seal Beach district held Wednesday night, the offer of the Bayside Land Company and the Guy M. Rush Company to provide a site in block 211, consisting of 20 lots, was unanimously accepted. The proposition of the Guy M. Rush Company and the Bayside Land Company was to contribute $6,500 on the price of these lots, making the cost to the taxpayers only $5,000, provided that the taxpayers would add that same amount to the cost of the building that they would otherwise have built, making the building of concrete or brick, substantial, well constructed and well ventilated and modern in every way. Litigation Over Jack Attorney E. E. Keech received notice that the appellate court had affirmed the judgment of the superior court of this county in the case of the Peatlands Realty Company against J. H. Edwards. Edwards, M. C. Cole and others near Westminster gave their notes in payment for a guaranteed jack. The buyers said the jack did not meet the guarantee, and, moreover, he died. The suit on the notes was then brought, and Edwards' defense was on the failure of the animal to be as guaranteed. Edwards got judgment, Keech and J. N. Anderson representing him. The plaintiff took an appeal, and lost in the upper court also. Recognized the Clothes As R. O. Wells was driving along the road at Wintersburg Saturday he saw a Mexican woman wearing Mrs. Wells' skirt. It so happened that that skirt and a lot of other clothing were stolen from the slotshes-line at Wells' home a month ago. The woman was Belen Solorio, and she and Francisco Mendoza have been living at Wintersburg. Under Sheriff Law and Constable Heard were called. They searched the house and recovered about half of the articles stolen at the Wells' home. It took them an hour or two to hunt through a great quantity of clothing at the house. The officers think all of the clothing was stolen. The Mexican couple pleaded not guilty to petty larceny, and their trial is set for Dec. 31. Bonds at a Premium Quick and satisfactory sale was made of the $28,000 bonds issued by the City of Fullerton for completing the paving and water works projects. Before the vote was officially canvassed and the result declared, an offer was received from the W. R. Staats Company to take the bonds at par, accrued interest and $400 premium. Their representative was present at the meeting of city trustees Monday night, and as soon as the proceedings took place, there were no complaints. CO-OPERATIVE FIRE PROTECTION NEEDED Exaggerated reports as to the seriousness of the forest fire situation in California during the past summer is resulting, to some extent, in discouraging the sale of certain California timber bond issues in the middle west and east. This announcement is made by forest service officials at San Francisco who see in the situation an evidence of the keen interest taken by timber investors in the protection from fire of timber stands, both private and federal. As a matter of fact, forest officers state that the loss due to fires occurring on the national forests in California during the past season was quite small and that the apprehension felt was due chiefly to the reports of fires outside the national forests, such as that on Mount Tamalpais. The service goes on to say that the effect which such reports, however well founded, have on the marketability of timber bonds emphasizes the necessity for thorough co-operation between individuals, the state, and the federal government in the matter of fire protection. It is true today as it was 1900 years ago that "a prophet is not without honor save in his own country." The lack of appreciation by home people has caused many a man to leave a town and seek a new community in which to begin an enterprise. Thus a new industry which might have helped this town to grow was lost because its people lacked faith in the home man. The man who goes away and succeeds is readily acknowledged by the people of his home town as a genius. Many an inventor and many a projector of new enterprises has had this experience; it is common, indeed, to all mankind. Persons in many communities have not sufficiently appreciated what their neighbors were accomplishing or could achieve and so many a man has gone elsewhere and found the recognition that was denied him at home. Give credit and backing to the home man. Have faith in him and encourage him. If this is done fully and freely it will go a long way toward keeping at home many a man who otherwise will go elsewhere to find moral and financial backing. There is genius in this town as well Bonds at a Premium Quick and satisfactory sale was made of the $28,000 bonds issued by the City of Fullerton for completing the paving and water works projects. Before the vote was officially canvassed and the result declared, an offer was received from the W. R. Staats Company to take the bonds at par, accrued interest and $400 premium. Their representative was present at the meeting of city trustees Monday night, and as soon as the proceedings reached the stage where such action was in order, their bid for the bonds was accepted. This is probably the only case in several months past where municipal bonds in Southern California have sold at a premium. The market has been very dull, and considerable difficulty was experienced in disposing of the road and sewer bond issue a few months ago. There were 237 votes cast for the bonds in the election Saturday, and 75 against the poposition. CALIFORNIA'S HIGH MOUNTAINS The State of California has 70 named mountain peaks and 60 or more unnamed mountains, a total of at least 130, whose altitudes are greater than 13,000 feet above sea level. Twelve of these are 14,000 feet or more high. The highest is Mount Whitney, which is also the highest peak in the United States, with an elevation of 14,501 feet. Mount Williamson is the next highest, 14,384 feet. The elevation of Mount Shasta, probably the third highest peak in the state, has not been determined exactly, but it is generally credited with being about 14,380 feet high. Other mountains attaining more than 14,000 feet are: South Peak of White Mountain, North Palisade Mountain, Mount Russell, Split Mountain, Middle Palisade Mountain, Mount Langley, Mount Muir, Mount Tyndall, and Mount Barnard. California during the past season was quite small and that the apprehension felt was due chiefly to the reports of fires outside the national forests, such as that on Mount Tamalpais. The service goes on to say that the effect which such reports, however well founded, have on the marketability of timber bonds emphasizes the necessity for thorough co-operation between individuals, the state, and the federal government in the matter of fire protection. The family of the late N. A. Ulm has been cleared from debt with the assigning of all stock in the Santa Ana Book Store Company to Los Angeles wholesalers to satisfy the debts resting against the store. The total indebtedness of the book store, including bills payable and money owed at banks is $16,000. With the assignment of the stock to the wholesalers, a commission of three men has been appointed to manage the affairs of the store. It is probable that they will run the business for a time and may sell if some good opportunity offers. GRIFFITH LUMBER CO.
