ANAHEIM WINNER AT TRIANGLE TRACKMEET LOCAL STUDENTS SCORE 64 POINTS, SANTA ANA 43, ORANGE 32 WEBB FIRST IN BROAD JUMP, HIGH JUMP, 100 YARD DASH AND SHOT PUT Anaheim carried off the honors in the triangle field meet at Santa Ana last Saturday by winning 62 points. Santa Ana and Orange were second and third, respectively. Beginning at 9 in the morning with two elocation contests which were followed by a tennis tournament and two spelling matches, then a picnic dinner in the city parks and concluding with a big track and field meet in the afternoon, the grammar school triangle field day of Orange county was held in Santa Ana on Saturday. Only one elocation contest had been planned but the entries were so numerous that it was decided to hold two at the same time, one for the boys and one for the girls. In the girls' contest there were 10 contestants, first, second and third being won by Miss Fay Kern of Anaheim, Miss Flora Walker of Fullerton, and Miss Grace Smiley of Santa Ana, respectively. The other contestants were Misses Myra Swall, Garden Grove, Naomi Taylor, Santa Ana, Edith Harris, Huntington Beach, Althea Parker, Orange, Mary Spinette, Westminster, Hazel Curtis, Newport Beach, and Elizabeth Haillman, Newport Beach. The winner was awarded a beautiful silver loving cup which was and Fay Barnett, Garden Grove; and Wayne Adams, Fullerton. By 12:30, an hour before the time set for the track meet, a hundred small athletes were working out on the track warming up for their events, and when the time for the events to begin came the field swarmed with the young contestants in sizes ranging from the 60-pound youngster from the fourth grade to the eighth grade warhorse who can look down on the dents in the hat of his principal. Despite the 300 or more on the field the grandstand was loaded with at least 400 more. Of more than 800 who attended the meet probably not a hundred were adults. Had it not been for the carefully organized corps of officials which Secretary Brown of the Y. M. C. A. had lined up those in charge would have been swamped, but in a remarkably short time the crack of the starter's pistol and the shouts of the judges calling the number of the "next man up," or announcing the results of some effort evidenced the fact that the events were under way. In all there were 25 events, which were divided up between five different groups of boys who were divided according to their weights. This plan gave the little fellows a chance to win a ribbon as well as the big fellows. At no time were there less than two events going at the same time and at several stages there were four events all on at once. Comment on the remarkable performances would take too much space. Suffice it to say that the records in all the events proclaimed the fact that there are kids in the grades ready to step into the shoes of Fred Kelly and Horrine when their turn comes. A mark of five feet three inches, the high jump, 18 7 inches the broad and 6 and 2-5th seconds in the 50 yards for a 76 pound sprinter are first class records for grammar school boys. Four pushmobile races were a novel and interesting form of competition and competed with the exhibition of games and drills and fancy dances which were put on by the girls of sex... there were 10 contestants, first, second and third being won by Miss Fay Kern of Anaheim, Miss Flora Walker of Fullerton, and Miss Grace Smiley of Santa Ana, respectively. The other contestants were Misses Myra Swall, Garden Grove, Naomi Taylor, Santa Ana, Edith Harris, Huntington Beach, Althea Parker, Orange, Mary Spinette, Westminster, Hazel Curtis, Newport Beach, and Elizabeth Hallman, Newport Beach. The winner was awarded a beautiful silver loving cup which was donated by the W. C. T. U. of Santa Ana. In the boys' contest in which were seven contestants, Royal Jumper of Newport Beach was given the decision over Cecil McCoy of Huntington Beach by one-fourth of 1 per cent in the figuring of the judges. Because of the closeness of the contest, the Y. M. C. A., under whose auspices the entire exercises of the day were conducted, decided to award a second cup for second place. A hot contest is assured in two weeks when these two speakers meet in another contest in Huntington Beach. The other speakers were Lyman Bower of Olinda, Hilliard Tyrrell of intermediate, Santa Ana, Leonard Clayton, intermediate, Santa Ana; Alonza Elsworth, intermediate, Santa Ana; Royal Jumper, Forrest Myers, Santa Ana, intermediate. The tennis tournament was added to the program of day's activities in the last week at the request of one school but while only four schools entered for this event, the competition was so good and the interest so strong that this will be a permanent feature in the Y. M. C. A. county meets. The doubles was won by the team from Anaheim composed of Joe Elliott and Alvin Weins and Elliott proved his worth by again winning, capturing the singles also. The other entries were Earl Granger and Claude Wilburn in the doubles from Orange Center street and Earl Granger in the singles; Noel Woodward and Neal Rainey, doubles and Woodward in the singles for Santa Ana; El Modena had entered two speedy players but misunderstood the time for play and forfeited their games. Maurice Stanfield and Charley Gorguchi were to have represented El Modena. The winners of this tournament will receive a large pennant. Immediately following the elocation contests, the two spelling contests were held, one for seventh grade and one for reighth grade pupils. After a hard tustle Miss Beverley Smith of Orange Glassell came off victor in the eighth grade contest and Miss Norma Dusenbury of Fullerton captured the cup in the seventh grade match. The cup for the upper class match was do- the events proclaimed the fact that there are kids in the grades ready to step into the shoes of Fred Kelly and Horrine when their turn comes. A mark of five feet three inches, the high jump, 18 7 inches the broad and 6 and 2-5th seconds in the 50 yards for a 76 pound sprinter are first class records for grammar school boys. Four pushmobile races were a novel and interesting form of competition and competed with the exhibition of games and drills and fancy dances which were put on by the girls of several of the schools. In all, 26 schools took part in the meet with a total of 268 entries. Of these 18 schools won points. The meet resolved itself into a three-cornered affair between Orange, Santa Ana and Anaheim with the smaller schools cutting in enough to make the results always in doubt. Anaheim won out in the end with 62 points, Santa Ana coming next with 43 and Orange third with 32. The others follow: Olinda 5, Tustin 8, Garden Grove 11, Loara 6, Katella 4, El Modena 1, Jefferson 5, Lincoln 5, McKinley 6, Westminster 8, Huntington Beach 1, Roosevelt 3, and one boy who did not register his school captured 3 points.

IN AND ABOUT COUNTY Generous Candidates Four candidates for office in the court house Thursday contributed 50 cents apiece to help a forlorn Mexican get married. Estevan Contreras was about to be tried on a felony charge for having eloped with Maria Estrada, when she was under 15 years of age. Maria is now 15, and her mother gave her consent to the wedding. The authorities brought Contreras to the clerk's office from jail. Contreras had no money with which to get a $2 marriage license. Attorney B. E. Tarver thought it no more than right that since candidates are giving away cigars, they ought to give away a marriage license. So he collected 50 cents each from County Clerk W. B. Williams, County Recorder J. M. Backs, County Auditor C. D. Lester and E. J. Marks, candidate for district attorney. Justice Cox performed the marriage for nothing. Judge West then let Contreras go free on a seven-year suspended sentence. Shipping St. Mikes The Placentia Orange Growers' Association started Thursday at their plant south of the track packing Mediterranean Sweets and St. Michaels, with 40 packers and about 60 pickers. The fruit is of fine quality. The pickers are paid $2 a day for nine hours' work, while the packers being classed under the head of skilled labor, succeed in making from $2.75 to $3 a day on a scale of 9 cents per box. Several loads of oranges were delivered in town Thursday. This association has already shipped 150 carloads of oranges this season, making a total for the four plants of 4,000 cars, and more to follow. Friends Are Anxious Anxiety is felt by friends and relatives of three Santa Ana persons now in Mexico. In event of war, the situation of Louis Shrewsbury is sufficient to cause worry. He is an electrician in mines at Elora, 70 miles from Mexico City. In leaving the country he probably would have to pass through Mexico City. Shrewsbury's mother, Mrs. Elizabeth Shrewsbury, and his sister, live in Santa Ana. Nothing has been heard from Miss Annette McClintock, daughter of Mrs. Margaret McClintock, since hostilities began. She is a nurse at Hermosillo. Mrs. McClintock and her daughter Miss Cora McClintock...of the sumptuous dinner which from the Rochester cocktail, through the young chicken course to the demitasse, was complete in cookery and service as well as attractive in appointment, the guests were still unwilling to leave the pleasant scene. As a compromise with the inevitable leave-taking, they arranged for a similar event in the merry month of May. It was also decided to form a permanent association with the possibility of frequent social happenings. HUNDREDS APPLY FOR MAXWELL RACING JOBS Applicants Range From Motorcycle "Champs" to Deaf Mutes Chas. H. Rockwell, of this city, has the agency for the Maxwell "25," 1914, and is now prepared to give demonstrations. Many people have called to see his new cars at his place of business on South Los Angeles street, and all are pleased with the new design. That there is at least one amateur race driver for every 50 inhabitants in the United States, is vouched for by Designer Ray Harroun, who is super-intending the construction of three Maxwell cars for the next 500-mile race. "For the last three weeks, my desk has been piled high, twice daily with requests for positions on the Maxwell racing team," said Harroun yesterday. ANAHEIM GAZETTE RETURNS HOME WITH A GROUCH Wisconsin Man Appears to Be Dissatisfied With California The following was extracted from the Clintonville, Wisconsin, Tribune of recent date and refers to a man who spent some weeks in this section: "W. A. Besserdich, who has just returned from the west, is not in love with that country to any large extent, especially California, where he spent most of his time. He says it is all right for the millionaires who go there and put up a summer home and spend about two or three months of the year, during the coldest of our winter months, but for a poor man, nothing doing. About the only thing he saw there that impressed him vividly was the terrible Santa Ana winds, that dries and burns up everything that it strikes and which he says is a great deal worse than the winter blizzards of snowbound countries, and alas, for "Fair California" he also says that the women are the "homeliest on earth." Bill is some judge of the fair sex and if what he says is true we hope that there won't be any of our single men tempted to take up their residence in that country. "He met quite a number of Wisconsin people on his travels and while he considers that they are getting along fairly well, he cannot see how they have improved their financial condition by leaving one of the 'best states' to locate in the west." When Bill returned to the ice-bound state of his nativity he must have carried a grouch with him else he would not have talked so recklessly. He certainly had his wires crossed when he spoke of eastern millionaires building summer homes for winter residence here. His reference to the disagreeable features of the Santa Ana wind will receive endorsement from those who have experienced it but as it blows only on an average of four or five days each year it is endured with fortitude. Anyhow it is a gentle zophyr compared with the blizzards of Wisconsin. These criticisms, however, can be overlooked, but when Bill declares that the California women are the homelien on earth it is time to rise up and call him down. It is an undisputed fact that from Eastport to Honolulu and from Duluth to the Panama Canal, there are none who can compare with the girls of California. William, perhaps, had an object in making that false and scurrilous statement. Perhaps he was trying to curry favor with some Wisconsin girl. LISTEN TO FRUIT MEN The complaint of the California fruit growers now before the Interstate Commerce Commission, asking for lower refrigeration charges and lower minimum prices. Friends Are Anxious Anxiety is felt by friends and relatives of three Santa Ana persons now in Mexico. In event of war, the situation of Louis Shrewsbury is sufficient to cause worry. He is an electrician in mines at Elora, 70 miles from Mexico City. In leaving the country he probably would have to pass through Mexico City. Shrewsbury's mother, Mrs. Elizabeth Shrewsbury, and his sister, live in Santa Ana. Nothing has been heard from Miss Annette McClintock, daughter of Mrs. Margaret McClintock, since hostilities began. She is a nurse at Hermosillo. Mrs. McClintock and her daughter, Miss Cora McClintock, deputy county school superintendent, fear that the nurse has not heard of the situation and that she will make no effort to leave until it is too late. It is believed that Robert Gill, assistant superintendent of the west coast line of the Southern Pacific, with headquarters at Mazatlan, is bound homeward by boat. In his last letter he stated that the railroad officials and the British consul had warned him to leave. Costly Water Well After being drilled to a depth of over 5,000 feet, without encountering oil in commercial quantities, the well of the Fisher Oil Company in this field has been sold to Dr. Davidson of Brea, who will use it to supply water for his ranch, on which the well is located. The well was disposed of for the price of the casing, and is said to have cost nearly $75,000 to drill. Work was in progress over two years. Davidson has pulled out the inner pipes, thus getting a good supply of water for irrigation. The water rises in the pipe to within ten feet of the surface, and it promises to furnish his pumping plant with an inexhaustible supply. The Fisher Oil Company is headed by Walter H. Fisher, the well-known capitalist of Los Angeles. The St. Helens Petroleum Company has just brought in a new well on the lease of the Anaheim Union Water Company in La Habra Valley at a depth of about 3,500 feet. There is over 150 feet of oil sand in the hole and the well is reported to be flowing at the rate of 1,500 barrels a day. Huntington Beach Progress Work is under way on the first unit of the improvement of the ocean front bluff at Huntington Beach. Several weeks ago, without any public announcement, the Huntington Beach Company gave the Mercereau Construction Company the contract for driving piling on the sand between the new pier and the "Inn," a distance of nearly 2,000 feet, for a bulkhead, behind which will be built the concrete sidewalk which will serve as the first unit of the ocean front promenade. Most of the work will be done, for the present, only as far as the bath house. The bluff, which is about 20 feet high, will be graded down, and the sidewalk laid about half way between the high-water level and the summit. The bluff averages 25 to 30 feet in height, and extends for a distance of three and one-half miles. The foot of the bluff is about 200 to 300 feet from high tide.

LISTEN TO FRUIT MEN The complaint of the California fruit growers now before the Interstate Commerce Commission, asking for lower refrigeration charges and lower minimum carload weights to eastern destinations on shipments of California deciduous fruits, was given a hearing in Washington on April 18, the principal argument being made by Douglas Brookman for the California Railroad Commission. R. D. Stephens and Jas. H. Hayes of Sacramento represented the fruit people here. The two issues were exhaustively argued, and it was shown that California is the only state which has a minimum on deciduous fruits of 26,000 pounds per refrigerator car. With their present cars, it was declared by the complainants impossible for the railroad to transport 26,000 pounds of fruit to destination in proper condition. "Here's something for Burbank to look into." "What?" "Training a Christmas tree to sprout its own presents." Lily Ann Jones, postmistress at Yorba Linda, born in Canada in 1884, and Edward Jones, an electrician machinist of Yorba Linda, born in North Wales in 1861, have applied for final naturalization papers.

Newport Activities West Newport and Newport Heights are experiencing considerable real estate activity at the present time. Since the word of the 500-acre Episcopalian grounds improvement was given out and the building of the Orange County Golf Club begun, a great deal of interest has been created in local property. The first work on the property of the church people, was started a short time ago by the building of a foot bridge from the car line at Melrose, across the upper Newport Bay, and to the crest of the bluffs. A. B. Rousselle, agent for the properties in West Newport and on the Newport Mesa reports sales as follows: To Nels Swansen, two lots, $4,000; L. Jones, lot, $2,000; R. Wallace, lot, $2,000; Dr. T. Williams, lot, $2,000; Isaac Goldman, two lots, $4,000; Frank Gregg, two lots, $4,000; and M. Bethel, three lots, $5,400. Hardware Men Meet The spacious dining-room of the Hotel Rochester was brilliantly lighted and aborned last Tuesday evening when an elegantly appointed banquet was served for the hardware men of Orange county. Every city and town in the county was represented and covers were laid for 31 guests. A program of classical musical numbers was given as the banquet progressed. Interesting post-prandial exercises continued the event until nearly the midnight hour. After the unalloyed enjoyment What is the remarkable fact when a Chinese actor loses his head?

ALCOHOL CONSUMPTION Germany now uses between 40,000,-000 and 50,000,000 gallons of denatured alcohol a year, of which over 30,000,000 gallons are sold to the general public for burning purposes. France uses about 18,000,000 gallons, the United States about 10,000,000 gallons, and the United Kingdom only 4,000,000 gallons. Denatured alcohol is not only gaining in favor for general burning purposes abroad, but a determined effort is being made to find a way of using it as a motor fuel in place of the high-priced gasoline.
