DECORATION DAY OBSERVED BY VETERANS TWENTY-SIX OLD SOLDIERS IN LINE OF MARCH AT ANAHEIM CEMETERY SATURDAY REV. RUSSEL B. WHITESIDE DELIVERS ELOQUENT ADDRESS TO A LARGE AUDIENCE Twenty-six veterans of the Civil War, members of Malvern Hill Post, formed in procession at the gates of the Anaheim cemetery on Decoration Day and marched to the stand erected in the shade of a big pepper tree where fitting services in commemoration of the honored dead were held. Forty-three mounds in the cemetery mark the resting place of men who bore the brunt of battle and risked their lives in defense of the Nation's flag, forty-one of these being Civil War veterans and two Philippine soldiers. The names of the old veterans whose graves were decorated are: John Ramella L. O. Conklin Wm. Eichler J. T. Marquis Fred Morey A. Burkle Frank Gifford Eli A. Pullen Wm. O. Flthian J. W. Hill A. C. Foster G. A. Irving D. W. Speilman A. F. Abbey G. B. Hatfield H. A. Stough Smith Shobe J. W. McKinney flaunt itself in the face of patriotic people, the political corruption, greed and graft that is ever present and the monster of intemperance are among the things that must be met by those who have received the heritage of patriotism and good government from their fathers. We owe, said he, the profoundest debt of gratitude to the old soldiers, living and dead, for the heritage they have handed down to us and let us prove worthy of it. Rev. Frank Dowling being unable to respond to the call, Rev. A. B. Markle was called upon to talk on the subject of the "Unknown Dead," and made a short but eloquent talk on the subject. He began by declaring there were no unknown dead. There are graves, he said, that are unmarked, and there are dead soldiers whose resting place is not known, but the men themselves are known and their memories honored by someone. At the close of Mr. Whiteside's address the Yorba-Linda school children marched through the cemetery under the generalship of their teachers and decorated the graves of the old soldiers while the quartet sang "Abide With Me." The cemetery was brilliant with vari-colored flowers, few graves being unadorned. WADE THROUGH SNOW AT CAMP BALDY Local Sightseers Ascend the Mountain, Finding the Weather Cool A party consisting of J. S. Sheridan, Leo Sheridan, W. T. Wallop, E. E.

At 3 o'clock on Saturday morning they were up for a trout breakfast, and later ascended to the summit, which is 10,080 feet high. The trip occupied six hours, the latter part of it being through snow, which covered the mountain from a foot to ten feet deep. The ascent was difficult, and a biting east wind made it uncomfortably cold. On descending in the afternoon they found many other visitors making the ascent. They enjoyed several fine messes of trout and returned on Sunday afternoon. JESS ALEXANDER NOWA BENEDICT Anaheim Young Man Takes Unto Himself Fair Daughter of Nebraska The marriage of Miss Mabel Settle, of Nebraska, and Jesse R. Alexander, was quietly solemnized Wednesday evening at the home of the bride-groom's parents, Mr. and Mrs. J. W. Alexander, in this city. After the ceremony, while the merry crowd with showers of rice and old shoes, were awaiting the appearance of the bride and groom, the newly weds slipped slyly away, with the help of Mr. and Mrs. W. A. Bartlett and their machine. The escape was soon discovered but the pursuers were unable to overtake the bride and groom, who waved a triumphant farewell from an outgoing Santa Fe train, just as the disappointed party, armed with wedding trophies, arrived at the depot. Mr. and Mrs. Alexander will be at home to their many friends, after June 5, in Los Angeles, where the bridegroom is engaged in business and the good wishes of many friends follow the popular couple to their new home.

In the manual training Prof. Vanderveer has chatted room in which the pupil the past year, together samples of his work in will be on exhibition, graduated steps from forts to his latest work. Two soldiers of the Philippine war, G. J. Neipp and David Bush, are also sleeping there. The program as originally arranged was badly fractured owing to sickness principally. The Fullerton military band was to have furnished the principal musical part but several members were reported incapacitated by illness which crippled the band to such an extent that it was unable to fulfill its engagement. Rev. Frank Dowling, who was listed to deliver an oration on "The Unknown Dead," is also confined to his bed, and Hollis Knowlton, who was to recite Lincoln's Gettysburg address, has joined the army and gone to the front. The musical part of the program was well sustained by the Yorba-Linda male quartet. This quartet is composed of William H. Bertram, Ray Ware, Samuel Walker and Lee Vernon. This quartet, after an invocation by Rev. A. B. Markle, opened the exercises with a song, "Where Are the Boys of the Old Brigade," after which Mrs. Lilly of Fullerton was introduced by Commander Knowlton who insisted on her reciting an original poem which she had written for some former function. "A Tribute of Love to Those Who Served in the Civil War," was the title, and it struck such a sympathetic chord that the comrades declared it ought to be preserved by publication. In the absence of Hollis Knowlton, Rev. A. B. Markle was impressed into the duty of reading Lincoln's Gettysburg address, which was followed by another song entitled, "Save My Boy," by the quartet. Rev. Russell B. Whiteside, pastor of the Baptist church at Fullerton, delivered the principal oration, and made one of the best speeches ever delivered in the cemetery. "The Nation's Heroes" was his subject, but his talk was principally to the present generation and the heritage that had been handed down from those who have passed away. Generations before the war, said he, it was apparent that a conflict was inevitable owing to the differences in belief between the two sections on the issue which caused the war. The Civil War was not a war of graves being unadorned. WADE THROUGH SNOW AT CAMP BALDY Local Sightseers Ascend the Mountain, Finding the Weather Cool A party consisting of J. S.

Generations before the war, said he, it was apparent that a conflict was inevitable owing to the differences in belief between the two sections on the issue which caused the war. The Civil War was not a war of conquest but of principle. It was waged for the purpose of settling forever whether the fundamental principles upon which this government was founded should prevail. Men fought to death for principle, and brother was arrayed against brother. We owe a great debt of gratitude to the old soldiers. When the returning troops from the front marched in review through the streets of Washington they were confronted by a great banner stretched across Pennsylvania avenue from the U. S. treasury, which read: "This nation can pay every dollar of its obligations except the debt it owes the soldiers." The speaker stated that it was not his purpose to bring tears to the eyes of his auditors by recounting heroic deeds but to instill the spirit of old-time patriotism in them. He would like, he declared, if he were not afraid of the chair calling him down, to read the 4th chapter of Deuteronomy reciting Moses' charge to the Israelites and reminding them of their heritage. Conservation is one of the duties handed down to the present generation and one of the constituent elements is patriotism. Also the spirit of self-sacrifice and devotion which has been inherited from our ancestors should be conserved. He was not afraid, he declared, that Mexico would do any material damage to this country, he was not alarmed over the rumors of Japanese invasion, but this country is confronted by dangers within itself.

Lewis Visited by a Thief Friday Night Another has been added to the long list of burglaries perpetrated in this vicinity during the past month. This is the sixth one within the city limits or in its immediate vicinity in that period. The home of A. L. Lewis on Broadway was the scene of his operations this time and Friday night was the date. The thief found no difficulty in securing entrance to the house as it was not Mr. Lewis' custom to lock his doors, consequently he walked in, ransacked the place and left without disturbing the inmates. Mr. and Mrs. Lewis slept throughout it all and knew nothing of the visit until the next day. Among the articles missing the next morning was a gold watch belonging to Mr. Lewis, also an opal stickpin and a purse containing $2.50 in change. The stickpin was of especial value to Mr. Lewis as it had been presented to him by his mother, who had it fashioned from an earring many years ago when earrings became unfashionable and ladies ceased to wear them. The theft was committed, it is presumed, by the man responsible for the previous five burglaries here, for the two at Orange last week and who made a $700 haul at Placentia a few nights ago. His methods in all of the nine cases were practically the same. Mr. and Mrs. Herman Schindler entertained a number of friends at their home Wednesday evening. The occasion was a surprise to Mr. Schindler, the guests having gathered to celebrate his birthday and extend congratulations. Materials for an excellent dinner had been provided by Mrs. Schindler, and the visitors were royally entertained. A large garden is adorned by the school where a culture is developed in its garden is cut into small pieces of a crop of vegetable siderable rivalry existed as to which should grow crop, the garden was an access point.

The exhibit will be some of the specimens whose advance consideration department but three that only two hours a work. The sixth eighth grades are woodwork, the fourth and board work, the seventh cooking, the fourth, fifth sewing, and all grades in. Contrary to the usual gathering all the materials into one great exhibit, it will include the department, especially sewing, wood work, and it is the desire of those of the pupils that the exhibits. Some classes special invitations to put all will receive them away if you do not re-invitation. ANNUAL EXHIBIT OF WORK IN SCHOOL MANUAL TRAINING AND DOMESTIC SCIENCE PRODUCTS TO BE SHOWN AT FREMONT MANY SPECIMENS OF ART WILL BE DISPLAYED TOMORROW AND SATURDAY Persons unacquainted with the work of the Manual Training and Domestic Science department of the Anaheim schools, as well as those interested, should visit the Fremont school Friday and Saturday of this week and see for themselves what has been accomplished during the three years these branches have been taught. This department was only added to the courses after the purchase of the Fremont building from the high school district, consequently all the progress has been made within three years. Tomorrow the exhibits will be distributed through the rooms of the building, the work of each class being shown in its own room. Specimens of the work of each pupil the past year, together with examples of his work in former years, will be on exhibition, showing the graduated steps from his initial efforts to his latest work. In the manual training department WINGED BY HIS OWN REVOLVER City Marshal Crashaw of Orange in Sanitarium With Shattered Leg A telephone message was received at the Anaheim sanitarium early Saturday evening requesting that an ambulance be sent to Orange forthwith to bring over City Marshal Jesse Crashaw, who had been accidentally shot and was in need of urgent medical attention. The ambulance was at Fullerton at the time, but was immediately dispatched to Orange, and about 9 o'clock brought the wounded officer in. An examination showed that his left leg was shattered above the knee, and on dressing the wound surgeons removed several pieces of splintered bone. The attendants were not able to determine at the time whether amputation would be necessary, an examination by the X-ray being deferred to a later time. The accident happened at Mr. Crashaw's own home. He was sitting on the verandah and finding that the revolver in his holster interfered with his leaning against the chair back he gave his belt a pull to twist it around to his side. The gun caught on something, was pulled from the holster and fell to the floor. It struck on the hammer and was discharged. The ball entered his leg just above the knee, ranged upward and came out six inches above. First aid was rendered him at home and he was brought to the sanitarium as speedily as possible. The wound is a serious one even protective in numbness. EXTINCTION OF WILD GAME A MENACE MARKET MEN OF LARGE CITIES HOLD UP LAW FOR ITS PRESERVATION VOTE TO BE TAKEN UPON REFERENDUM MEASURE IN NOVEMBER Walter K. Robinson of Trabuco, deputy fish and game commissioner for Orange county, who is more familiar with fish and game conditions than probably any other man in Southern California, was in town this week in the interest of the law prohibiting the sale of wild game by market men. This law was passed by the last legislature at the instance of sportsmen throughout the state, but its operation was held up by a referendum vote instituted by market men of San Francisco and other large cities. A vote will be taken upon this measure in November, and Mr. Robinson is desirous that Orange county will support the proposed law. "The only way in which wild game can be protected in the state," he said, "is by enforcing a bag limit, having closed seasons and keeping out market hunters. If the proposed law branches have been taught. This department was only added to the courses after the purchase of the Fremont building from the high school district, consequently all the progress has been made within three years. Tomorrow the exhibits will be distributed through the rooms of the building, the work of each class being shown in its own room. Specimens of the work of each pupil the past year, together with examples of his work in former years, will be on exhibition, showing the graduated steps from his initial efforts to his latest work. In the manual training department Prof. Vanderveer has charge. The big room in which the pupils labor is called the workshop. This is fitted up with everything needed in the way of tools and machinery tor working in wood, and much timber is fashioned into various small articles of furniture. There are eleven work tables in the room and twenty-two pupils can work at the benches at once. Some of the pupils show a natural aptitude for mechanics and turn out some excellent specimens of handiwork, but not all display a talent in this direction. As only two hours a week are devoted to this not a great quantity is accomplished. The work is all done from drawings or models and the professor insists that each pupil do his best, consequently little material is wasted or spoiled. The domestic science department is where the girls learn the art of housekeeping. Miss Bertha Kimball is the presiding genius of this place, which is divided into two sections—the kitchen and the sewing room. The kitchen is a large room provided with a big range and twenty small gas plates. There are eighty girls practicing and learning the art of cooking and baking. Some wonderful and fearful eats are turned out here by the novices who experiment on their parents with them, but the advanced pupils are becoming expert cooks, and many of them are already able to take charge of the kitchen at home and give their mothers pointers. The seventh and eighth grades furnish the pupils for this room. Miss Kimball also has charge of the sewing room, which adjoins the kitchen. There are eighty pupils in this school and the time is spent in fashioning garments and millinery. It is not so popular as the kitchen as the product of the industrious hands is only for female use, the males having no part or interest in it. The art department is under the supervision of Miss Bess Edwards, who is developing much genius from the raw material coming into her hands. The work here is voluminous and a number of the drawings display a decided talent on the part of the pupils. All the drawing classes in the schools are under her direction, and the exhibit in her room will be a large one. A large garden is also maintained by the school where a taste for agriculture is developed in the boys. The garden is cut into small patches, each the property of a boy who has raised thereon a crop of vegetables. As considerable rivalry existed among them as to which should grow the finest crop, the garden was an immense success. The accident happened at Mr. Crashaw's own home. He was sitting on the verandah and finding that the revolver in his holster interfered with his leaning against the chair back he gave his belt a pull to twist it around to his side. The gun caught on something, was pulled from the holster and fell to the floor. It struck on the hammer and was discharged. The ball entered his leg just above the knee, ranged upward and came out six inches above. First aid was rendered him at home and he was brought to the sanitarium as speedily as possible. The wound is a serious one even should it develop that amputation is unnecessary. TIRE COMPANY TAKES CHARGE OF BUILDING Will Begin Repairs and Installation of Machinery at Once H. H. Holdaway, president, and W. H. O'Neill, treasurer of the Universal Tire Company, came down from Los Angeles Monday and took possession of the Dreyfus winery building in the southwest part of town, recently purchased by that company as a site for the automobile tire factory which is being established in Anaheim. The company purchased this building a few months ago of J. H. Cook and John W. Walls, paying therefor $35,000. The plant will manufacture the Holdaway patent punctureless tire. President Holdaway has just returned from the east where he purchased $80,000 worth of machinery and material which will begin arriving shortly and will be put in place as rapidly as possible. In company with J. C. Idlor, one of the stockholders, Messrs. Holdaway and O'Neill went over to Orange Monday to look after $12,000 worth of machinery recently purchased at that place for installation in the plant. It will be shipped here as soon as repairs on the building are sufficiently advanced to receive it. The factory will open up within a few months and it will probably be a busy place as a large force of men will begin on the opening day and this force will be gradually augmented. Present plans of the company contemplate the erection of additional buildings and the directors confidently believe that a force of several hundred men will be required within a year from the opening. Mr. Holdaway carried samples of the non-puncturable tire east with him where it created something of a sensation among auto men. One manufacturer declared he could raise a million dollars to finance a plant for its manufacture with very little effort, but the company prefers to build in California. Twenty million dollars is spent in this state each year for automobile tires and the directors feel that they will find an ample market for their product on the Pacific coast for the present. Mrs. Holdaway and Mrs. O'Neill accompanied the gentlemen to Anaheim Monday. This law was passed by the last legislature at the instance of sportsmen throughout the state, but its operation was held up by a referendum vote instituted by market men of San Francisco and other large cities. A vote will be taken upon this measure in November, and Mr. Robinson is desirous that Orange county will support the proposed law. "The only way in which wild game can be protected in the state," he said, "is by enforcing a bag limit, having closed seasons and keeping out market hunters. If the proposed law should be defeated, San Francisco market men would send out scores of hunters after wild ducks and other game, and birds would be held at such high prices that they could only be purchased by the rich. The statement that the law is in the interest of the poor man is fallacious, for prices would be so high that they would be unable to purchase wild game, except possibly at rare intervals. Defeat of the law is advocated purely and simply by market men in the large cities, and if the law should unfortunately be repealed it would mean the utter extinction of wild game in California. "Game is becoming scarcer each year, and in this county, where formerly we had an abundance, now the supply is becoming so scant that if market hunters are turned loose among wild ducks and other game it would be only a question of time when there would be no shooting at all. Quail are becoming very scarce, and this is due to the encroachment upon their breeding grounds by the farmer. With hay at $20 a ton and upwards, every little canyon in the mountains where formerly quail bred by thousands, is now given over to agriculture." "Doves promise to be plentiful, for their nests in trees have not been disturbed by the advance of agriculture. I think dove and quail will be more plentiful this year than for some seasons past. I have seen several coveys in San Juan Canyon of from 15 to 20 young quails, where last year and for several seasons past coveys numbered probably a third or a quarter of this number. It is necessary that these birds be protected from market hunters, and that closed seasons and limit bags be enforced, otherwise our game will in a few years be extinct." Mr. Robinson has distributed throughout the county copies of the following circular issued by the California State Fish and Game Commission: "Wild game and fish are the property of the people and as such should be cared for as zealously as is the individual property of each person in the state. The game and fish killed and taken each year in California have an immense food value, but immeasurably greater value as 'bait' to draw people into the country. How barren the mountains would be if deprived of wild life! The hunters of California kill 10,000 deer each season with a food value, as measured by the value of beef, of over $100,000. What the yearly kill and take of other game and game fish is worth no one can estimate, but it is known that the take of food fish has..."

A large garden is also maintained by the school where a taste for agriculture is developed in the boys. The garden is cut into small patches, each the property of a boy who has raised thereon a crop of vegetables. As considerable rivalry existed among them as to which should grow the finest crop, the garden was an immense success. It is not likely, however, that there will be an exhibit of this product as nearly all the best specimens have been carried home by the young gardeners for consumption by the family. The silk worm experiment which was tried a year ago has been given up as Prof. Vanderveer says the worms were not acclimated to this region. Some of the boys are continuing the experiment in private, and may yet develop a specie of worm that will thrive in California, and a new industry be established. The exhibit will be worth seeing. Some of the specimens show marvelous advancement considering that the department but three years old, and that only two hours a week is devoted to this work. The sixth, seventh and eighth grades are engaged in the woodwork, the fourth and fifth in cardboard work, the seventh and eighth in cooking, the fourth, fifth and sixth in sewing, and all grades in drawing. Contrary to the usual custom of gathering all the material to be shown into one great exhibit, each room will have its own display of the work done. This will include the work of every department, especially the drawing, sewing, wood work, and composition. It is the desire of the teachers and of the pupils that the public see these exhibits. Some classes will send out special invitations to parents but not all will receive them. Do not stay away if you do not receive a special invitation.

Mrs. Holdaway and Mrs. O'Nell accompanied the gentlemen to Anaheim Monday. FIGHT FOR GUARDIANSHIP The guardianship of Theodore Kleinmeyer, the 7-year-old son of E. F. Kleinmeyer, the El Monte ranchman, and horseman, who is the sole heir of his father's estate, has now developed into a legal scrap between Simon and Mattie M. Christenson, the boy's grandparents, and Nels Pederson of Santa Ana. The Christensens filed their petition to be appointed guardian of Theodore last week. Pedersen countered with a petition in behalf of himself, and objections to the Christensens serving. He sets out that under Kleinmeyer's will he was nominated for the office. Furthermore, the boy is now with him. The Security Trust and Savings Company filed Kleinmeyer's will, and a petition for letters of administration. The company was named trustee of the estate by Kleinmeyer in the interest of his son. Under the terms o. the will, Theodore is to be suitably provided for out of the income. The trustee is o set aside $100,000 out of the estate to be the boy's at majority. The remaining two-thirds are to remain in trust until he is 30 years old. At his death, the estate is to go to Kleinmeyer's heirs. The estate is listed as follows: Real estate near Wilmington, $400,000; 1,400 acres at El Monte, $70,000; 100 head of horses, $20,000. The probable value of the estate is given as $750,000. "Hundreds of streams and lakes in which the people are now enjoying splendid sport were devoid of fish life until man's money, energy and genius placed trout and other desirable fish in them. All fish life probably originated in the sea, from which it populated only those streams that presented no impassable falls or other barriers. Practically every mountain stream contains falls and blockades over which no fish can pass without man's assistance." Without the seed and insect eating birds there could be no agricultural industry in California. Man can not hope to do the work of Nature in controlling the destructive forces and agents of Nature itself. "California has over 300,000 hunters and fishermen, being led only by New York, Pennsylvania, and Illinois, with their immense populations. Great Britain, with an area less than California's and a population of over 48,000, has only 68,000 hunters." "The true sportsman has ever been the wild animals' best friend; his interest and work has saved them from extermination. The game laws are made for the perpetuation of game and fish and for the benefit of all the people." "'Closed seasons' protect the game and fish during breeding periods when most species are defenseless and when PROTECTION MEANS THE GREATEST INCREASE IN NUMBERS. "Limit' laws insure the average hunter and fisherman his share of the game and fish and restrain the 'game hog.' There is still game and fish for every one provided no person takes more than his share. Observe the game laws and induce and compel others to do likewise. If you know of a violation of the game laws, notify the nearest deputy or game warden without delay, and assist his in prosecuting. "The Fish and Game Commission has prosecuted 7,500 violators of the fish and game laws in the last ten years. The commission, however, deplores the necessity of such work and believes most earnestly that an ounce of prevention is worth many pounds of cure. The punishment of an offender cannot restore dead or wasted game or fish. Help protect your property by preventing damage to it. "The commission issues monthly statements covering its income and expenditures in detail. It issues also pamphlets, bulletins and reports covering fish and game subjects and does more to acquaint the public with the game laws, in order that violations may be prevented, than any other similar commission in the world." Mr. Robinson is ever alert in protecting wild game in this county, and some days ago killed six rattlesnakes in a shack at the tin mine in Santiago Canyon. As he entered the structure his attention was attracted by the whirring of a huge rattler which he dispatched with a club. Immediately he beheld five other rattlers which he also killed. At this time of year snakes are destructive of little quails, upon which they feed, and whenever Robinson sees one of them he sends them to the happy hunting grounds. P.O. EXTENSIONS WILL ADD TO SERVICE GOLDEN STATE TRACT NOW BEING SERVED BY ANAHEIM RURAL DELIVERY MR. DICKEL PREPARING TO CONSTRUCT AN UP-TO-DATE BUILDING ON OLD SITE In addition to remodeling and enlarging the building which has been the home of the Anaheim postoffice for a long number of years, and making it adequate for the increasing business, other improvements or extensions of the service are now under way or are in contemplation. The extension of the rural service to the Golden State Tract which Postmaster Duckworth began working for several months ago, has finally been established, the new service beginning June 1st. There has also being considered an extension of the city delivery which will probably shortly be accomplished, and the addition of mail service on the 6:18 morning train will greatly benefit the merchants, who can now mail orders to Los Angeles and have them distributed for the first delivery. The postoffice quarters are to be remodeled at once and greatly enlarged. A movement has been on foot for some time to widen the sidewalk on West Center street to relieve the congested NATURAL GAS SERVICE PROVES SATISFACTORY First Months' Bills Show Great Reduction From Previous Statements Consumers of gas anxiously awaited the arrival of their monthly statements the first of June in order to compare them with bills paid for previous months under the old regime, and everybody was agreeably surprised when the statement was read. The declaration of the Southern Counties Gas Company that there would be a radical reduction has been more than justified as practically two-thirds of the former cost has been cut off since the natural gas was turned into the mains. There are two reasons for this slump in the gas bills. One is, of course, that the rate in Anaheim now is 75 cents per thousand cubic feet against a former charge of $1.25. Furthermore, natural gas is more powerful than artificial gas, the heating capacity being in the ratio of two to three. In order to offset the loss in revenue entailed by the lower rates Manager Todd is making an effort to extend the service and hopes to gain by this means what the company loses by lowering the charge. A proposition was presented to the city trustees asking that body to install gas under the boilers at the power house, but no action has yet been taken in the matter. "We have unlimited gas," Mr. Todd informed the trustees, "and want to sell it. We can furnish it to you at a less cost for the service than you are now paying for fuel oil." It is probable that the low rate will cause many people to use gas for heating purposes in their homes. It is clean, convenient and cheaper than fuel. The following figures submitted by the gas company gives a comprehensive statement of the saving to the consumers by the installation of natural gas: No. of consumers in April... 711 No. of consumers in May... 718 Total of gas bills for April... $1,788.15 Total of gas bills for May... 600.26 Cubic feet used in April... 1,462,300 Cubic feet used in May... 913,300 Ave. bill per meter in April... $2.51 Ave. bill per meter in May... .83½ Tract which Postmaster Duckworth began working for several months ago, has finally been established, the new service beginning June 1st. There has also been considered an extension of the city delivery which will probably shortly be accomplished, and the addition of mail service on the 6:18 morning train will greatly benefit the merchants, who can now mail orders to Los Angeles and have them distributed for the first delivery. The postoffice quarters are to be remodeled at once and greatly enlarged. A movement has been on foot for some time to widen the sidewalk on West Center street to relieve the congested condition in the business center. This is about to be accomplished and the postoffice building will be the first to start this new innovation. It will be moved back eight feet, thus giving a 16-foot sidewalk. This width will be observed by all property owners on the north side of Center street, between Lemon and Los Angeles streets. Agreement to that effect having been reached within the last few days. The postoffice building will have a modern plate glass and white tile brick front. The inside will be overhauled thoroughly, additional fixtures will be installed and 25 feet added to the rear. This will give Anaheim an up-to-date postoffice building, which is in keeping with the progress of our city. On June 1st six miles of new territory in the Golden State Tract have been added to the rural system. This opens up that fertile section to the merchants of Anaheim. Hundreds of acres have been planted to orange groves in this section and before long it will produce many carloads of the golden fruit. Postmaster Ahlborn informs us that more and better roads are needed in this promising territory in order to permit the rapid and unobstructed delivery of mail. He was obliged to secure temporary private right of way to permit of the opening of this section to the rural mail service from Anaheim. Here is work for our board of trade and merchants' association. We cannot afford to neglect this opportunity of adding valuable territory to Anaheim. An effort will be made to extend city delivery at an early date. Many sections of the city have built up quite rapidly since city delivery was inaugurated and an extension of the service is very much desired. Quick mail service to Los Angeles has been secured and has been in operation for 10 days past. Any mail delivered to the postoffice, (not the collection boxes) after 5 P.M. and before 5:45 A.M. will go on train 79, due here from San Diego at 6:18 A.M. and distributed in Los Angeles in the morning, in time for the wholesaler to fill orders for our merchants the same day. This means a saving of 24 hours to the Anaheim merchants in replenishing their stock. This train also makes splendid connections with all points north and east. Efforts of postmasters in neighboring towns to establish rural routes into territory now served by the Anaheim postoffice are making and a petition is now circulating among the people to that effect. This same question was CELEBRATES HIS 32ND BIRTHDAY V. W. Lamont Gives Dance at Eagles' Hall Wednesday Night When Vic Lamont reached his 32d birthday last Wednesday he engaged Eagles' hall on Lemon street and sent invitations to 32 of his friends to come and help him celebrate. They all responded with alacrity, and made the night one to be remembered. Good music was engaged and ample refreshments provided, but the principal business of the evening was dancing. This was continued by the young people long after the day had passed into history and another one had been born. At midnight supper was served, the guests being seated at one large table in the dining room, which was bedecked with pink roses and asparagus fern. Those present were Charles Fisher and wife, W. E. Duckworth and wife, C. W. Pendleton and wife, A. G. Flagg and wife, Frank Mauer and wife, Billy Lake and wife, Walter Koehler and wife, Fred Schneider and wife, Ed.

Wickett, Mr. and Mrs. H. H. Bell and Mrs. L. Raymond.
