The Weekly Gazette. ESTABLISHED 1870 Henry Kuchel, Editor and Proprietor SUBSCRIPTION.....$1.50 Per Year Six Months.....$1.00 Three Months.....50 Cts. Entered at the Anaheim Postoffice as second-class matter. VOTE FOR THE BONDS On Tuesday, January 27, the electors of Anaheim will decide upon two important propositions which are submitted to them. One is the purchase of a site for a city park, the other is the purchase of a fire apparatus commensurate with the needs of the city, and the erection of suitable quarters for it. A bond issue of $35,000 is asked for these improvements. The city trustees have harkened to the voice of the people and issued an ordinance calling an election. There is little doubt that both projects will carry by an overwhelming vote. The park proposition has been discussed for years and there appears to be a unanimous sentiment in favor of it. Every voter in Anaheim, male or female, realizes the value of a park to the city. Twenty thousand dollars, judiciously expended, will create a garden where the people can congregate during their leisure hours, and where strangers within our gates can find a resting place. It will be a perpetual pleasure to the citizens of Anaheim and add much to its reputation abroad. The value of establishing an up-to-date fire-fighting apparatus is also apparent to the voters. We have now an efficient volunteer fire company, but with the proposed motor-propelled machine the effectiveness of the company will be increased. Such an apparatus will not only safe-guard the property of the city but will probably lessen insurance rates. There is little question that both propositions will carry on January 27 with few dissenting votes, and the CHAPMAN AVERS HE HAS NO SCHEME DECLARES POSITION AGAIN IN FAVOR OF SEPARATING OIL FROM WATER OPPOSES ISSUANCE OF FOUR THOUSAND SHARES OF THE TREASURY STOCK. Editor Gazette: In the several articles in last week's Gazette on "Segregation," some of your statements are manifestly so far from the facts that I am impelled to correct them. Your reporter evidently fell into a trap and was pretty well "stuffed" with false statements. This "stuffing" was done of course with the idea of hoodwinking the stockholders and thereby prejudicing them against segregation. It is facts and not false or misleading statements that I know you want to publish. You say we are planning to issue the remaining 4,000 shares of water stock. This proposition has never been made at any meeting which I have attended, further, no one in my presence anywhere or at any time has made the proposition to issue the remaining 4,000 shares of stock. As for myself, I should absolutely oppose the issuance of this stock, especially under the present management. It may be in discussing this question you have resorted to the old-time tactics used by some debaters when they are unable to answer an argument. Instead of attempting to do so they bring up an entirely new issue and talk about it. This blinds and misleads and by many is accepted as logical argument when in reality it is only a weak attempt to befog the real issue. You talk about the price of this new The value of establishing an up-to-date fire-fighting apparatus is also apparent to the voters. We have now an efficient volunteer fire company, but with the proposed motor-propelled machine the effectiveness of the company will be increased. Such an apparatus will not only safe-guard the property of the city but will probably lessen insurance rates. There is little question that both propositions will carry on January 27 with few dissenting votes, and the trustees should be commended for giving the voters an opportunity to express their opinion. MORE MEAT At this time when the housewife and her husband must devote more attention to the little economies because of the gradual increase in the high cost of living, and especially in view of the fact that to help this coast it has been found necessary to import Australian meats, it is interesting to note from figures of the Southern Pacific Company that Lovelock, Nevada, has become one of the largest livestock feeding points in the western country and possibly the largest. At present, there are 400,000 sheep and 30,000 cattle being fed at Lovelock for the market. This number will be increased to a large extent within a short time. They are now being prepared for the table, and when they find their way over the Southern Pacific line to the San Francisco market and are re-distributed, it is not unreasonable to believe that the lamb and beef will be less scarce than they have been. RAISE TO $1,000 The Washington dispatches got the facts about the Garden Grove post-office somewhat confused. When Postmaster Junkin received the official and formal notice from the postoffice department, the error appeared. Instead of a salary of $1,100 it is only $1,000. And instead of having an additional appropriation with which to pay an assistant the postmaster must dig into his own pocket. When it is all figured out and understood the only difference between the new and the old arrangement is that the department will pay rent and lights, for in the change to a salary the amount is based upon the stamp cancellations. PAY YOUR LICENSE If you go fishing after the first of January you will have to pay for the privilege. If a resident of the state you will pay $1, if not, $3, and if an alien $3. The new anglers' licenses It may be in discussing this question you have resorted to the old-time tactics used by some debaters when they are unable to answer an argument. Instead of attempting to do so they bring up an entirely new issue and talk about it. This blinds and misleads and by many is accepted as logical argument when in reality it is only a weak attempt to befog the real issue. You talk about the price of this new stock being $50 per share. Here again the imagination is given full play. Why didn't you put it at $25 per share and that I had arranged to take it all at that price? It is evident that this is also said to prejudice the people against the main issue and thereby use them to further selfish interests. If the stock is ever issued the price would be adjusted at that time, after learning its real value, not now. You say the present board of directors oppose segregation. Of course they do. They want to handle all this money themselves. They have not only spent all the money received from oil and water for 1913, but have incurred an indebtedness that will require, to liquidate it, all the money coming from royalty oil for the entire year 1914. That is certainly "going some." Entirely too swift for me. Let me correct another statement you make. You say that I purchased 390 acres in the Kraemer tract for which I paid $250 an acre. Had your informant desired nothing but the truth he could easily have called me up and I would have been pleased to have given him the correct figures. There are 276 acres—not 390, for which I gave $362 an acre—not $250, as you say. This overdrawn statement is an evident attempt to play on the prejudices of my fellow sufferers. You say that I favor issuing the 4,000 shares of stock so I can buy cheap water stock for my Kraemer ranch. This is absolutely not true. I do not want the 4,000 shares issued, nor do I need water stock for that ranch or any other. I have abundance of water for that ranch. I have two splendid wells there, only one of which is equipped with pumping plant. With the two reservoirs I have there, I can put water on all save about 20 acres of the ranch cheaper than I can buy it from the water company, except during the winter season. Furthermore, the second well on that ranch, which under test produced 200 inches, but is at present not on the pump because not needed. When I equip this well with a pumping plant I will be able to sell water to the Ana- statements of facts are that prevent some of them from investigating a which they are vitally they but know it.

If a resident of the state you will pay $1, if not, $3, and if an alien $3. The new anglers' licenses have just been received by County Clerk Williams. When the applicant signs the license he agrees to exhibit any game fish in his possession on demand of any deputy game commissioner. The licenses come in three colors, and bear an engraving of a pretty outdoor scene—a fisherman making a cast over a swift running stream. The citizens' licenses are printed in green, the non-resident's in blue and the aliens' in brown color. The license holds good from January 1 to December 31. The hunting licenses run from July 1 to June 30. The South Fullerton Oil Company, which is operating near Capistrano, has its well down 4,200 feet, and is now arranging to put it on the pump in about three weeks. There is a great deal of water in the well, but it is believed the company will get 100 barrels or more of oil per day when the water is pumped out. The well cost $65,000. It is said another well will be drilled at once if enough of fuel oil is found in well No. 1 to supply the boilers for drilling well No. 2. Furthermore, the second well on that ranch, which under test produced 200 inches, but is at present not on the pump because not needed. When I equip this well with a pumping plant I will be able to sell water to the Anaheim Union Water Company, or to my neighbors. My imagination is taxed to the limit to know what other scheme your informers can invent and charge me with. Past experiences convince me, however, that the opponents to the appointment of an investigating committee have vivid imaginations and can doubtless furnish many equally weighty reasons for retaining the right to spend all the company's income. Let me again say in all frankness that I have no scheme. I am not a schemer. If the stockholders of the Anaheim Union Water Company want to continue to turn vast sums of money over to their board of directors to be expended by them without questioning, some of it wisely, perhaps, but much of it not; and if they do not care to make any move to protect their interests and are willing "to let her go Gallagher," I guess I am quite as able to stand the loss as any of them, although unwilling to meekly submit to such manifestly unbusiness-like methods. It is, however, simply blind prejudice, created and encouraged by mis- The First National ton has brought three suit of Dyer's sudden superior court is a suitor for $800, and in the ship court is one against Mrs. Sheriff Ruddock has papers.

The relative percentage of the food digested is shown as follows: Bread made with Royal Cream of Tartar Powder: 100 Per Cent. Digested Bread made with phosphate powder: 68½ Per Cent. Digested Bread made with alum powder: 67¾ Per Cent. Digested These tests, which are absolutely reliable and unprejudiced, make plain a fact of great importance to everyone: Food raised with Royal, a cream of tartar Baking Powder, is shown to be entirely digestible, while the alum and phosphate powders are found to largely retard the digestion of the food made from them. Undigested food is not only wasted food, but it is the source of very many bodily ailments.

The First National Bank of Fullerton has brought three actions as a result of Dyer's sudden departure. In the superior court is a suit against Dyer for $800, and in the Fullerton township court is one against Dyer for $200 and one against Mrs. Dyer for $125. Sheriff Ruddock has the attachment papers. Dyer's property is now loaded with mortgages and attachments for all that it is worth. AN OVERWORKED SNAKE "Talking about dry towns, have you ever been in Leavenworth, Kansas?" asked the commercial traveler in the smoking car. "No? Well, that's a dry town for you, all right." "They can't sell liquor at all there?" asked one of them. "Only if you have been bitten by a snake," said the traveler. "They have only one snake in the town, and when I got to it the other day, after standing in line for nearly half the day, it was too tired to bite." ST. MICHAEL'S CHURCH Sunday, January 11th, the 1st Sunday after the Epiphany, the services at St. Michael's Episcopal church, corner Adele and Emily streets, Rev. David Todd Gillmor, rector, will be: 9:45 A.M., Bible school and adult classes; 11 o'clock, morning prayer and sermon. A cordial welcome awaits you by both members of the congregation and the rector. No evening service. More than a thousand tons of glass will be used in the construction of the buildings at the Panama-Pacific International Exposition, 550 tons having already been contracted for to be used on eight of the main exhibit palaces. In the machinery palace alone there are 28,000 panes of glass in the facades now installed and 65,000 square feet of glass in the skylights. When it is considered that 1,000 tons of glass in panes of the average thickness would cover an automobile road, eight feet wide, from San Francisco to Los Angeles, a distance of 500 miles, and leave quite a bit over, some idea of the immensity of these figures may be gained. S. C. Evans, W. B. Clancey and A. P. Campbell, highway commissioners of Riverside county, and County Surveyor G. M. Pearson of Riverside, were visitors with the Orange County Highway Commission Saturday for the purpose of familiarizing themselves with the PUBLIC INSTALLATION The public installation of officers of the I. O. O. F. and the Rebekahs was held last night in the presence of a large assemblage. Walker M. Perry, district deputy of Odd Fellows, of Orange and Mrs. Flower of Santa Ana were the installing officers. Those taking the oath of office were H. R. Wilson, past noble grand; U. S. Amack, noble grand; Frank Machleb, vice noble grand; Charles Hedges, recording secretary; Frank S. Gates, financial secretary, and O. T. Gailor, treasurer. The Rebekahs installed the following: Mrs. Maud Adams, past noble grand; Mrs. Marie Bermagan, noble grand; Mrs. Pearl Fergus, vice noble grand; H. R. Wilson, recording secretary; Mrs. Elsie Borth, financial secretary, and Miss Lydia Felber, treasurer. After the installation a banquet was served. The Southern California Edison Co. has filed with the State Railroad Commission a revised schedule reducing the rates practically all over Southern California. The schedule provides a maximum lighting rate of 7 cents per kilowat hour. It becomes effective March 1 and saves the consumers $142,200 annually. The reduction will be felt chiefly in Los Angeles, Riverside, Orange and San Bernardino counties, but will be applied to every community except where rates are fixed by city ordinance. Mr. and Mrs. George W. Hamler were in Los Angeles on Tuesday, and narrowly missed their train home in the evening by reason of cessation of street railway traffic owing to a fire in the company's power house.

Yungbluth, Miss Dorothy Yungbluth and Hugo Strodhoff formed an enjoyable automobile party visiting Los Angeles and intermediate points of interest on Saturday afternoon. The Twilight Club gave a dance under the auspices of the Knights of Columbus Tuesday evening. The committee in charge of arrangements were Leo Sheridan, T. Robert Rimpau, Elmer E. Brus and Frank Mauer. The club will entertain every fortnight hereafter at their clubrooms in the K. of C. hall with a dancing party. Mrs. Elsie Cadman, of this city, was married on New Year's day to Herbert Peters of Los Angeles. The wedding took place at the Catholic church in San Diego, Rev. Father Nunan performing the ceremony. Mrs. Cadman has been a resident of Anaheim for 25 years and her many friends here will extend hopes of a happy future. S. C. Evans, W. B. Clancey and A. P. Campbell, highway commissioners of Riverside county, and County Surveyor G. M. Pearson of Riverside, were visitors with the Orange County Highway Commission Saturday for the purpose of familiarizing themselves with the system operated by the commission here. Orange county voted $1,270,000 bonds 15 months ago and has 40 miles of its 107 miles of good roads under construction. Recently Riverside county voted $1,125,000. Next Monday the bond issue will be advertised for sale. A reproduction of the Yellowstone National Park will be one of the features of the concessions district at the Panama Pacific International Exposition. A standard gauge railroad will run through the concession, taking visitors seemingly through the entire park. In the center of the concession reproductions of the geysers and springs which have made the Yellowstone the wonder of the world will be set upon a great revolving table. The cost of the concession is estimated at $550,000 and it will be one of the most complete of its kind ever built. GRAND MASQUERADE A masquerade ball will be given at the Opera House on Wednesday, January 28, by the Concordia Society. Mr. and Mrs. George W. Hamler were in Los Angeles on Tuesday, and narrowly missed their train home in the evening by reason of cessation of street railway traffic owing to a fire in the company's power house. They boarded a street car on Broadway 25 minutes before train time, and after waiting 20 minutes, with no indications of the car starting they alighted. Mr. Hamler secured an auto through the kindness of a brother Elk, and the run to the depot was made in three minutes. They caught their train and came home without further incident. Public Administrator Winbigler was manager of the Grand Opera house for one performance as special administrator of the estate of N. A. Ulm. The performance lost $72.22 for the house. Winbigler has made his report to the court, showing that the lease on the opera house was cancelled by W. F. Lutz. "The Girl from Mumm's" was advertised before Ulm suicided. The show was put on according to the contract, which gave the show three-fourths of the receipts. The show house's one-quarter was $31.44. The salary list of the stage hands came to $51.10; of the orchestra, $23; advertising, $48.80; billboard posting, $11.58; light and heat, $5.18. The total cost of putting on the show was $103.66 and the income $31.44. Winbigler asks to be discharged as special administrator.
