KNOWLAND FOR SENATOR
Congressman Joseph R. Knowland of California has announced his candidacy for the Republican nomination for United States Senator to succeed Senator George C. Perkins. Congressman Knowland says he will go before the people of California on his record.
"I withheld my announcement," he says, "thinking there might be a movement among Republicans to call some conference for general discussion before the announcement of candidates for any office, but as such is unlikely, I make my announcement public at this time."
Among Congressman Knowland's notable speeches was one in defense of free Panama Canal tolls and against the repeal of the exemption clause as urged by President Wilson. Other matters for which he has fought are the passage of emergency legislation to aid San Francisco after the fire; securing for California the 1915 exposition; the provision in the Canal act preventing transcontinental railroads from operating steamships through the canal.

At the regular meeting of the Chamber of Commerce, the report of the lighting district committee was unanimously adopted, and the district defined as follows: The main highway through the Park from Northam to the Anaheim county road on the south, and from the road leading through Almond station on the east to the Centralia school road on the west.

An ordinance was also promulgated for bidding bicycles being ridden on the sidewalks.
The streets in the Park are to be named and signboards placed, work to be attended to by the Chamber of Commerce and paid for by the county.
A Mr. Martin, of Santa Ana, presented a plan for producing sections of the county on a series of moving picture films which met with much favorable comment. A short program was rendered and refreshments served. These meetings are growing in popularity and many people who never attended before are becoming interested.
The new metallic sign boards placed by the Chamber of Commerce are "hummers" and are creating quite a stir.

One of the most enterprising stunts ever undertaken by a moving picture theater in Anaheim was the production of "Quo Vadis" at the Fairyland last Saturday afternoon and evening. It required eight reels to produce the play in full, the performance lasting more than two hours. "Quo Vadis" one of the world's greatest stories, was written by Henry Slenkowelitz who, some 40 years ago, was a resident of Anaheim. He was a member of the Modjeska Polish colony but returned to Poland and developed into a great novelist. It was a great play and those who saw it at the Fairyland got their money's worth.
Monday morning Owl train ran into a bunch of E. Oyharzabal's horses, badly injuring five of them. One of them with a broken leg had to be killed and one of the remaining four is so badly injured that his recovery is doubtful. Dr. Price was called to attend their injuries and predicts that it will be a month or six weeks before any of them are able to be put to work again. These horses are all fine large work stock, and were being driven from a small pasture a short distance from San Juan into the Oyharzabal corral. There were about 20 horses, and just as they got to the corral gate they all stampeded and ran down the railroad right-of-way just in time to meet the 5:15 A.M. train. Seven or eight of them were knocked down and thrown from the track with the result of five being badly injured.

BUYS PROPERTY
IN SANTA ANA
G. E. Bruns Purchases Business Block and Ranch
G. E. Bruns, an orange grower of Anaheim, invested $28,000 in business and ranch property in Santa Ana last week. He bought the business property at 413, 415 West Fourth street, owned by Gen. F. H. and F. B. Case. It consists of the two rooms occupied by the Home Barkery and Cartercar agency and the Florence apartments, and the consideration was $18,000.

AIRSHIP STUNTS
SEEN AT POMONA
Battle of the Clouds Staged For April 3 and 4
Under conditions as nearly like actual warfare as can possibly be staged, members of the recently formed United States Aerial reserve squadron will be given their first chance to show the advantages of airships in war times when they will be called on to assemble at Ponoma, April 3 and 4 to participate in the big battle of the clouds to be staged on those dates. Glenn L. Martin, the famous California aviator who is in charge of the aerial end of the program, has completed all arrangements to have a goodly representation of manbirds in line to do their part, and Paul J. C. Derkum has Company D of the National Guards awaiting the word to perform the no-

Glenn L. Martin, the famous California aviator who is in charge of the aerial end of the program, has completed all arrangements to have a goodly representation of manbirds in line to do their part, and Paul J. C. Derkum has Company D of the National Guards awaiting the word to perform the necessary ground manoeuvers.
The big aerial spectacle will be staged with the idea of showing what part the aeroplane can play in present day warfare. Recently the government enlisted more than a score of the leading civilian aviators in an auxiliary corps, to be called on when needed, and the first rehearsal of these cohorts will be under the most trying conditions. Company D, which will be the opposing land force, has been carefully drilled for the occasion, and the sham battle is sure to give a most comprehensive idea of the value of heavier than air machines in times of need.
The battle of the clouds will be but a small part of the elaborate ceremonies which have been arranged to mark the ground breaking for Pomona's new $400,000 speedway. On the 700 acre tract which will mark the future home of what is expected to be the greatest banked race course in the world, a varied program will be given, and the first shovel full of earth raised from its present resting place will be the signal for general among the motorists of Southern California. Although all world's road racing records have belonged in this section of the country for some time, speedway honors have undisputedly gone to Brooklands, England, and Indianapolis. With Pomona's advent into the field additional glories for the local field can be expected, as those responsible for the new course are sparing no pains nor money in making their track the fastest, most beautiful and generally the best in the entire world.

TOO MUCH GAS
J. E. Wilburn, trouble man for the Southern Counties Gas Company, had a narrow escape from death by asphyxiation Wednesday afternoon while engaged in repairing a gas connection for the Smith & Grote building, in Orange. Wilburn and an assistant had been working at the mouth of a 4-inch main from which the gas was flowing full force. They had been forced to desist once on account of the fumes and the assistant had been affected worse than Wilburn. Later they resumed work, but in a short time Wilburn staggered away in a bad plight. He reached the Houts & Sutherland billiard hall across the street before he collapsed.
Unable to talk, Wilburn motioned with his arms, and some of those who went to his assistance caught his meaning and began the vigorous ap-plication of artificial respiration. Wilburn was carried to the open air in the rear and his arms were pumped until the arrival of a physician. His pulse was very low, and the doctor stated that it was fortunate he received such prompt and efficient handling by those who picked him up. Wilburn was unconscious for about an hour.

Last Saturday morning about 2 o'clock, while on duty, Night Officer Fogle of Fullerton, was summoned to the residence of Mrs. J. Smith, 138 West Wilshire avenue, where he found two colored individuals guarding an entrance leading under the house. When questioned as to their business there, stated that they had a strange colored man cornered, who had been acting suspiciously about the premises. Fogle immediately instructed the two to remain on guard, while he crawled under the house after the intruder, and he got there just in time to see his heels disappear through an opening in the front steps which he had made by usng considerable strength, and on the side of the house left unguarded. The motive of the fellow is unknown, but is thought to be incendiary, owing to circumstances which have occurred in the past.
