KEEPING ABREAST OF TIMES After many years of advocacy and effort those progressive citizens of Anaheim who have been endeavoring to start something that would end in the establishment of a public park, are about to see their hopes realized—that is if a majority of the voters of the city endorse the proposition and there appears to be little doubt on that question. The city trustees have ordered an election to vote upon an issuance of $20,000 in bonds for the purpose of purchasing a site. The motion was made by Trustee Hamler who has been an enthusiastic advocate of a city park since he became a resident of Anaheim. It received the unanimous endorsement of the board, and the probability of a failure to carry the proposition at the polls is so remote that it is useless to dwell upon it. The election will be held on the 27th day of January. If the bonds carry, a committee of eight members will be selected—one from each of the voting precincts of the city, and with Mayor Nebelung as ex-officio head of the commission, will select the most suitable site that can be purchased for the money. At this election the electors will also vote upon the proposition to bond the city for the erection of an $8,000 fire house and the purchase of an up-to-date motor-propelled fire engine. This is one of the pressing needs of the city and everyone realizes it. Anaheim is large enough and prosperous enough to afford modern fire-fighting apparatus, and there is little doubt that the voters will sustain the board and vote overwhelmingly for the bonds. CLUMSY FAKIR SWINDLES MANY PAUL MUELLER MADE NUMEROUS PURCHASES, BUT PAID NO MONEY LEFT TOWN FOR PARTS UNKNOWN TUESDAY NOON—CREDITORS ARE SEEKING HIM Paul Mueller, after flying high about town for a month past, left the city on Tuesday at noon, saying that he was going to San Pedro to procure a large automobile which was being shipped him, so he said, from San Francisco. He promised to return the next day and make good numerous purchases which he had negotiated for during his brief residence here. He failed to return, and it is believed he is well on his way out of the state. Mueller arrived here a month ago and notified one of the leading banks of the city that he had $60,000 due to arrive yesterday. He said he had made several sales of property in the east and wanted to make investments here. The next day he negotiated for the purchase of the Beebe-Weisel Implement store on East Center street. An inventory of stock was taken, but Mueller faded away before coming through with any cash payment. Mueller procured a $65 suit of clothes from August Kuehn, which he failed to pay for. He also ordered three suits of clothes from Yungbluth's tailoring establishment, which he didn't get. He procured an overcoat from this store, making a partial payment and leaving $10 due upon it. He left a suit case in the store to be delivered at his apartments at the Iowa house. This suit case remains undelivered. Mueller contracted for the purchase of a ranch near town, but left the city before making any payment thereupon. He purchased $107 worth of jewelry at a jewelry store, paying nothing therefore, and attempted to buy an $800 diamond ring which was refused him. He contracted for the purchase of two automobiles and other property, IN AND ABOUT V. U. Simpson was Monday. A. A. Mills made a Los Angeles Tuesday. Dr. C. W. Harvey visited to the city Monday.

MUST COMPETE WITH FLORIDA A dispatch from Oroville states that owing to the demoralized condition into which the Florida orange crop has thrown the orange market, growers in that district are slackening up the work of picking and will hold their oranges as long as possible in the hope that market conditions will be better later. Florida's crop is 15,000,000 boxes. The fact that California oranges were late in ripening this year has thrown them into direct competition with the Florida crop. Markets everywhere are reported to be glutted with Florida oranges. Frank Worden, elected secretary of the Santa Ana Armory Hall Company to succeed the late N.A. Ulm, is now in possession of valuable papers belonging to the company, they having been found Saturday by Earl Ulm in the Santa Ana book store. Among the papers are original subscription cards, showing the amount of stock subscribed for by each stockholder, deed and unlimited certificates of the Armory hall site, incorporation papers, and others books of value to the company. The Parent Teachers' Association of the Anaheim high school will hold their next meeting Friday evening, December 19th at the high school auditorium. An interesting feature in connection with the evening's entertainment is to be an address given by Hugh E. Willis, dean of law school at the Southwestern University. Dean Willis is a distinguished speaker and Anaheim is considered fortunate in securing him to address the local organization. Prof. E.W.Hauck was a college chum of Dean Willis while attending the University of Minnesota, and it was through this close friendship that a man of such wide experience and proved ability has been secured to speak here.

Oscar Booms, aged 20 years, died at Herb Salveson, the Fullerton high school boy, who pitched a few games for the Anaheim baseball team last season, has been signed on the pitching staff of the Portland league club. Herb is only 20 years old and in ball circles he is considered a coming man and will add one more to that long list of Orange county celebrites. The Monte Cristo oil well which recently struck oil and a large output of gas on the Robertson lease at a depth of about 3,000 feet, lost a bit and 80 feet of drilling pipe in the hole and may have to “fish” for several days before it can resume drilling. The company hopes to bring in a big gusher on this lease at a depth of about 3,500 feet. Because Pedro Infante, a 15-year-old Mexican boy, lost four fingers in a pulp-slicing machine on November 4, the Santa Ana Co-operative Sugar Company was on Tuesday made defendant in two damage suits aggregating $20,000. In one action $15,000 is asked for the minor for the loss of the use of his hand, and in the other $5,000 is asked by his mother, Pabla Infante, for the loss of the boy’s services, he being her only support. Miss Kate Cordes on Monday entertained eight young ladies who have formed a society under the name of the “Kill Kare Klub.” They were Alida Heying, Henrietta Schindler, Emma and May Frahan, Lucy Ziegler, Elsie Heine, Doris Webster and Elsie Meineche. Each young lady was dressed in youthful costume and tried to impersonate a 6-year-old. Three Weary Willies were found preparing a meal in R. E. Mauzie’s Valencia grove the other night. They were using for heat two of the smudge pots that they managed in some way to light. When discovered they had finished their meal and were settled back for a smoke. They were certainly enjoying themselves to the limit with the inner man well filled and the outer man basking in the heat of the smudge pots. W. M.

Oscar Booms, aged 20 years, died at his home in West Anaheim at 1:30 o'clock Monday morning. He leaves a mother and two brothers. Funeral was held yesterday at Backs & Terry's undertaking parlors. G. W. Pennington, who is the boss on a well-drilling job in San Diego county, spent a few days with his family in Anaheim last week. The well he is now engaged on shows indications of oil at a depth of 3,000 feet. Both the Wells-Fargo and the post-office report that they are already being overburdened with packages going out from Anaheimers to distant friends, and they think the heaviest traffic has not yet been reached. J. P. Mayhew celebrated his 61st birthday anniversary Sunday, a number of friends being present to assist him. Evelyn Harling, a little neighbor, was six years of age on the same day and assisted him in the celebration. Fritz Borchard has resigned his position in the Germania Halle and will take a position in the Miller hardware store, better known as the Beebe-Weisel establishment. Fritz has been with the Germania a number of years. The case of E. M. Schlotter vs. the batch of Anaheim citizens who were cited to appear in superior court and show cause why their names should not be stricken from the registration rolls was again postponed and the case set for January 19. Ralph Sterner has received advices from Washington announcing his appointment to the position of stenographer in the United States landoffice at Great Falls, Montana. He is the son of J. F. Sterner, proprietor of the book and stationery store. Owing to the illness of Contractor Pozzo of the Pozzo Construction Company, who secured the contract for the erection of the Pacific Mausoleum Company's beautiful building, work has been delayed on that structure. Mr. Pozzo is suffering from pneumonia, but he is recovering and hopes to begin work in a few days. Mrs. Frances gave a Christmas party at her home on Broadway Friday evening, having as guests 22 members of the faculty of the Anaheim schools. The occasion was an enjoyable one and the evening's entertainment ended with a visit from Santa Claus who carved up heat two of the smudge pots that they managed in some way to light. When discovered they had finished their meal and were settled back for a smoke. They were certainly enjoying themselves to the limit with the inner man well filled and the outer man basking in the heat of the smudge pots. W. M. Turk, of Fullerton, is at the Whittier hospital with a broken nose and with bruises as a result of a collision of his automobile with the railings of a bridge. The accident happened early yesterday morning, two milse east of Whittier. In some way Turk, who was driving, let the car swerve just as he struck a small bridge and the smash-up followed. Two companions with Turk were uninjured. The car was badly damaged. Several auto loads of the leading citizens of Azusa rolled into Anaheim last Tuesday and spent a couple of hours examining the municipal power and water plant. Among the number were the city trustees of that town. Azusa is contemplating voting upon a bond issue for the erection of a municipal plant and the trustees wanted to learn something about the subject before taking so important a step. They were extremely well pleased with the up-to-date and satisfactory plant they found in Anaheim, and their belief that it would be a good thing for Azusa was strengthened. HONEY CROP SHORT HERE J. E. Pleasants, county bee inspector, has returned from Los Angeles, where he attended the state convention of Beekeepers' Association last week. He reports a good attendance, with counties between Imperial and Sacramento represented. Representatives from the north section of the state reported prospects good for a heavy crop the coming season, while those of the southern counties, with the exception of Imperial, reported that there would be a light crop. Imperial expects a good yield. Bees in all parts of the state are in good condition, there being very little disease. Huntington Beach is getting extremely dry. At the last meeting of the city trustees the liquor ordinance was amended, making it illegal for a railroad or express company to deliver intoxicants in that city and also making it disdemeanor for any person to take orders there for the sale or delivery of liquors. The vote among the four trustees present was unanimous, showing the overwhelming strength of the anti-liquor sentiment in Huntington Beach. Have you purchased all of your CANDIES FOR CHRISTMAS?

The Santa Ana man graciously consented to accommodate him, and the lecture hour was made at 8 o'clock. Announcers went down through the aisles shouting that the Orange county views showing or-ange groves, residential sections, etc., would be given at 8 o'clock, and the result was a full house. Melton Mora, a Mexican, is in jail and a man named McCain is nursing a bullet wound as the result of a fight that occurred in a poolroom at Huntington Beach Sunday.
