ALARMING NEWS FROM MEXICO If the people of the United States were privileged to read the newspapers published in the Mexican capital, they would have a clearer insight into the attitude of the Mexican people toward them. Merely by way of illustrating the gross misrepresentations that are served to the Mexican populace as authentic news, we quote the Mexican Herald of a recent issue. The Mexican Herald informs its readers that "various negro battalions of the United States army in the state of Colorado" rose in rebellion. "Within a short time," the Herald assures its readers, "nearly 100,000 negroes who had suffered humiliation at the hands of the whites will be repudiating President Woodrow Wilson." In order to impress upon its readers the passion of accuracy that obtains in its offices, the Herald states: "We held such sensational news in quarantine until from Laredo, Tex., we received the confirmation of the cry of liberty which had been started by the negro soldiers, who carried a banner which reads: 'Death to Wilson and long life to Taft.'" Our country is pictured to the credulous Mexican populace as being in the throes of civil war. "The first town to be attacked was Denver, Colo., where the negroes sacked the banks and the principal commercial houses, and set fire to many private residences. Abandoning this important town, they destroyed the line of communication, both railway and telegraph." You wonder why it is that you have heard nothing concerning this sensational uprising, only now to be devi- Our country is pictured to the credulous Mexican populace as being in the throes of civil war. "The first town to be attacked was Denver, Colo., where the negroes sacked the banks and the principal commercial houses, and set fire to many private residences. Abandoning this important town, they destroyed the line of communication, both railway and telegraph." You wonder why it is that you have heard nothing concerning this sensational uprising, only now to be deviously informed by way of Mexico of the existence of civil war. A natural and legitimate wonder. You are entitled to know the reason. Here it is, quoted verbatim from the Mexican journal: "The government of the United States has hushed up all that it knows about this armed movement, giving as an explanation that it is merely a question of a strike; but already it is understanding the importance of the uprising since very soon it will see itself opposed by more than 100,000 negroes who are working for the abolition of slavery." As soon as we shall be privileged to receive and read subsequent issues of the Mexican Herald, we shall take care to avail ourselves of its news resources to inform our readers of the progress of this bloody revolution at home. The Herald says: "We expect tonight or tomorrow more details regarding this, although the government at Washington has ordered a censorship in all its forms on the telegrams which leave the United States." Of course that rigid censorship, exercised by Washington's direction on the telegraph service, may delay indefinitely the receipt of further intelligence. Even now Chicago may be in flames and Philadelphia may have been given over to pillage and massacre. Is it worth the life of a single American soldier or the expenditure of a single American dollar to resort to armed intervention for the purpose of restoring peace to a country capable of such credulity? PIPE FREEZING IS PREVENTED One of the most annoying and troublesome things to be met each winter in farm and country life is the question of frozen water pipes, writes a contributor to the Country Gentleman. This is especially so in districts where there is no gas line, and where plumbing is unprotected and open. Each winter for several years I was given all kinds of trouble and extra work in this way as soon as the thermometer reached the freezing point or lower. After much experimenting I finally hit upon the easiest, most inexpensive and surest way to keep the frost off the pipes. I have recommended it to many persons, who have tried it and found it saves many repair bills. Melt an equal quantity of petrolatum—vaseline—and of paraffin wax together and, after wiping the pipes perfectly dry, apply with an old brush a thick coat of this mixture while it is hot. An old lamp or torch will easily WAS IN MANILA WHEN DEWEY ARRIVED F. A. BLAKE OF OLIVE, WITNESS-ED DESTRUCTION OF SPANISH FLEET IN HARBOR SPANISH SHIPS NO MATCH FOR AMERICAN GUNNERS, WERE SOON IN FLAMES AND SUNK F. A. Blake, secretary of the Olive Milling Company, who is a frequent visitor in this city, was in town on Saturday afternoon, and in conversation with a number of friends, stated that he had been a resident of Manila when Dewey's fleet entered the harbor, and witnessed the destruction of Montojo's fleet. Mr. Blake spent several years in the Orient, being engaged in work for the American Red Cross Society. For some years he resided in Hongkong, his uncle being governor of that British province. Some months before the outbreak of the Spanish war he went to Manila, and was in that city when the American fleet entered the harbor and sent the Spanish ships to the bottom. He gives a realistic description of the incidents of the naval battle, and says the wildest excitement prevailed when the bombardment of the Spanish ships began. "Dewey entered Manila harbor early in the morning, eluding the guns of Corrigedor, and headed straight for Montojo's fleet, which rode at anchor some distance away. The guns of Cavite opened fire upon them, but their cannonade was ineffective. Dewey headed straight for the Spanish fleet, and when within striking distance gave the Spaniards a broadside from his ships. His squadron executed the figure 8 in front of the Spaniards, giving them broadsides first from the dawey had not enough vessels to take the town a month before the monastery and Monadnock arrived berber of transports having ments of American soldiers was a proud day for Deified the Spaniards down their flag. He sent Spanish general that he begin an immediate boon the city unless the Spaniards hauled down. The flag forthwith, and the Amherdied the town." Mr. Blake remained aeral months after the faengaged in Red Cross wsequently returned to Hohe and his father were reof large American interest is an American citizenization of his father andleading residents of tht town of Olive. BUENA PARK The Chamber of Commerce last regular meeting, with attendance, transacted at business. A comm pointed to look after boards at all points on Park.

Wymard is now ence with some Pittsburgh Each winter for several years I was given all kinds of trouble and extra work in this way as soon as the thermometer reached the freezing point or lower. After much experimenting I finally hit upon the easiest, most inexpensive and surest way to keep the frost off the pipes. I have recommended it to many persons, who have tried it and found it saves many repair bills. Melt an equal quantity of petrolatum—vaseline—and of paraffin wax together and, after wiping the pipes perfectly dry, apply with an old brush a thick coat of this mixture while it is hot. An old lamp or torch will easily keep it in a liquid state. You will find that no matter how cold the weather may get the frost cannot penetrate this coat of grease. I have used oils on water pip s that ran along the ground unprotected, and not once during the coldest weather did they freeze up or give me the least trouble.—Christian Science Monitor, Boston. Mrs. Herman Stern visited with friends in Los Angeles one day last week. Intending to return on the early afternoon train she left on the gas stove a repast for the evening meal, leaving the gas burning low, and purposing to prepare the meal upon her return. Meeting with a number of friends, and finding herself unable to return until late in the evening, she telephoned Mr. Stern, advising him to repair to their home and turn off the gas. Mr. Stern jumped into his Cadillac and made a record dash to his handsome residence on Alberta street. Hurriedly entering he found the house filled with smoke. He turned off the gas, opened the doors and windows, and soon pursuaded himself that his house was not on fire. He later drove to Fullerton, met his wife on the evening overland, returned to his home and the worthy couple enjoyed their evening meal without further mishap. REPUBLICANS RUN Miss Eva Merritt reports the following registrations for Anaheim up to yesterday: Republicans 86, Progressives 47, Democrats 30, Prohibitionists 17, Socialists 4, decline to state 3. "Dewey entered Manila harbor early in the morning, eluding the guns of Corrigedor, and headed straight for Montojo's fleet, which rode at anchor some distance away. The guns of Cavite opened fire upon them, but their cannonade was ineffective. Dewey headed straight for the Spanish fleet, and when within striking distance gave the Spaniards a broadside from his ships. His squadron executed the figure 8 in front of the Spaniards, giving them broadsides first from the starboard and then from the port guns. He executed this movement twice when the Spanish ships were in flames and in such damaged condition that they sank in the bay. Admiral Montojo's flagship was the immediate target for the American guns, and it was soon on fire. The Spanish admiral transferred his flag to another vessel, which immediately drew the fire of the American ships. This vessel was speedily sunk as was all the other ships of the Spanish squadron. Dewey drew off his ships two miles from the burning Spanish vessels and breakfast was announced abroad the American vessels. He did not understand this move at the time, but learned later that the Americans were short of ammunition, and that Dewey had drawn off his ships for the purpose of holding a consultation with his subordinate officers. After breakfast the attack was renewed, the Spanish squadron entirely destroyed, and the guns of the shore batteries silenced. "The Spanish ships were no match for Dewey's squadron, and I believe the Baltimore could have gone into the harbor and finished the Spaniards single-handed. Montojo's were old wooden vessels, and the accuracy of the American fire was such that their defeat was a foregone conclusion the instant Dewey's bombardment began. "There was great excitement ashore during several weeks following the sinking of the Spanish ships. Later Fillipinos swarmed about Manila by thousands, and were eager to enter the city and assassinate the Spaniards. Dewey would not permit this, and the Spanish flag floated above the city." am south to the Anaheli would be finished in there.

Look for the BIG Dewey had not enough men abroad his vessels to take the town, and it was a month before the monitors Monterey and Monadnock arrived with a number of transports having several regiments of American soldiers abroad. It was a proud day for Dewey when he notified the Spaniards ashore to haul down their flag. He sent word to the Spanish general that he intended to begin an immediate bombardment of the city unless the Spanish flag was hauled down. The flag came down forthwith, and the Americans occupied the town." Mr. Blake remained at Manila several months after the fall of the city, engaged in Red Cross work, and subsequently returned to Hongkong where he and his father were representatives of large American interests there. He is an American citizen by the naturalization of his father and is one of the leading residents of the prosperous town of Olive. BUENA PARK BRIEFS The Chamber of Commerce at its last regular meeting, with quite a large attendance, transacted a large amount of business. A committee was appointed to look after placing sign boards at all points leading toward the Park. This is quite a feature and will be a great advantage to strangers traveling through the country. A report was received from the road committee which was highly satisfactory, as we are promised that the boulevard leading through the Park from Northam south to the Anaheim county road would be finished in the near future. The committee on the organization of a lighting district of considerable extent, reported progress and was allowed another month to complete its plans. We feel very proud of our Chamber of Commerce and expect some fine results with Wm. Schumacher at the head. E. C. Cady has just completed a 12-inch well on his 88-acre ranch on Orange thorpe west of town. A cute little bungalow was finished about a month ago. J. K.

Durgan, entertained the officers and members with an elaborate course dinner in the banquet hall on the evening of Monday, January 12, following the regular meeting of the Chapter. The table was arranged in the form of a hollow square, profusely decorated with lovely flowers and greenery, and made quite a beautiful picture, as the 28 guests present were served by the two stalwart, handsome sons, Gerald and Donald, assisted by two beautiful young ladies. Between the seventh and eighth courses of the perfectly elegant dinner, the guests were regaled with lovely music by the young people. Taken altogether it has seldom been the writer's privilege to participate in a more enjoyable affair.
