ANAHEIM SCENES TO BE SHOWN IN MOVIES 300 FEET OF FILM DEPICTING A BUSY TOWN TO BE MADE ON STREETS SATURDAY THE BOARD OF TRADE PROTESTS AGAINST EXPERIMENT AT SAN FERNANDO Anaheim may yet number among its industries the Orange County Moving Picture Film Corporation. That company, which has had this city under consideration for several weeks, and at a recent session of the board of trade asked a free site of five acres, has secured an option on suitable grounds on the Fiscus ranch, South Los Angeles street. President Hahn and James Allen, representing the company, met with the board of trade Monday night for the purpose of securing the co-operation of that body in making a 300-foot film of the business streets of Anaheim on Saturday June 20. Seven hundred feet will be made in other towns of Orange county, completing a thousand foot reel which will be presented to the Associated Chambers of Commerce of Orange large enough to purchase a site in a suitable place. A. A. Mills was also emphatic in his denunciations. He relinquished the chair in order to swat the commission and said the selection of the San Fernando site was the most outrageous thing that had ever happened. The commission accepted it, he said, because it was offered free, and will now be compelled to spend millions to maintain it whereas those millions would have been saved if a suitable location had been selected. The telegram was sent to Berkeley Monday night. Efforts are going to be made to cover the waste and vacant places of Anaheim with California poppies. The organization of a state poppy league at San Jose on July 4 was endorsed, and it was also decided to take the matter up locally, to plant poppies along the railroads, highways and streets, to cover vacant lots with them, and turn all the weeds that grow in waste places into poppies. Prof. Millikan, the botanist of the high school, gave a talk on the poppy. He said the poppy was a hardy plant and required little water. The roots would run to a depth of 10 or 12 feet in search of moisture and its sturdy growth would make it an ideal plant for the purpose of choking out weeds aside from the beauty of its flowers. Mr. Millikan is already cultivating poppies at his own residence and speaks from experience aside from his botanical knowledge. The public improvements committee, with Mr. Millikan added as counsellor or advisor, was instructed to get busy and sow all SUPERINTENDENT SACKETT BUSY HAS INAUGURATED CAMPAIGN AND STREETS AND CITY HEALTH OFFICE WILL FOLLOW UP ANAHEIM A CLEAR WAR against weeds, the deadly germ, fly-bug and everything of an oak tree, has been declared and the officers in charge will not lay down their nuisance is removed is made the cleanest to Street Superintendent in command just now. Week with a force of streets and alleys, and clean sweep. Weeds are ishing where they have grown, tin cans, worn wire, old shoes, defchickens, manure heap clothing are being gassed and swept into his drainsal to the city's dumping incineration. Mr. Sackett has no croach upon private pr grounds on the Fiscus ranch, South Los Angeles street. President Hahn and James Allen, representing the company, met with the board of trade Monday night for the purpose of securing the co-operation of that body in making a 300-foot film of the business streets of Anaheim on Saturday June 20. Seven hundred feet will be made in other towns of Orange county, completing a thousand foot reel which will be presented to the Associated Chambers of Commerce of Orange county, and will be shown at the local moving picture theaters. It is the desire of the operators in securing the picture of Anaheim Saturday to show as many autos as possible and to eliminate the horse. The reel will be labeled "How People Come to Town to Trade." Mr. Allen stated that the company purposed building a studio 75x200 feet in dimensions. It will be built on the Mission style, and contain three stages and numerous dressing rooms. Seventy-five persons would be employed constantly which number would be increased according to the requirements of the play on the boards. The company was not asking money of the board of trade but wanted its co-operation in securing Saturday's picture of traffic on the streets of Anaheim. As an instance of the profits derived from the industry Mr. Allen mentioned that Mrs. Seidel, the aviatrix of the company, recently completed an aeroplane picture which sold for $40,000. Mr. Eygabroad, of the manufacturing committee, which had been investigating the proposition since its introduction to the board, reported that the establishment of the plant would be a good thing for Anaheim and a great advertising medium for Orange county, but the committee was not familiar enough with it to express an opinion regarding the financial part of it. He offered a motion to the effect that "a successful moving picture film corporation established at Anaheim will be a first-class advertising medium for this city and Orange county." There was no dissenting voice to the motion. The establishment of the state experiment station was warmly discussed and a night telegram was ordered dispatched to the board of regents of the State University demanding that the protests from the citrus growing communities against establishing the station at San Fernando be given full consideration. The regents were to consider the report of the commission appointed to recommend a site on Tuesday. Secretary Abbey stated that CALIFORNIAN WINS IN WRESTLING MATCH Contest on the Mat at Anaheim Opera House Friday Night Two hundred people witnessed the wrestling match between Fred Roeber and Al Thorpe at the Anaheim opera house Friday evening. It was advertised as a contest for Pacific coast championship as Roeber, it was claimed little water. The roots would run to a depth of 10 or 12 feet in search of moisture and its sturdy growth would make it an ideal plant for the purpose of choking out weeds aside from the beauty of its flowers. Mr. Millikan is already cultivating poppies at his own residence and speaks from experience aside from his botanical knowledge. The public improvements committee, with Mr. Millikan added as counsellor or advisor, was instructed to get busy and sow all the vacant spots with poppy seed. The railroads and highways will present beautiful banks of yellow to the vision of the passer-by within a year. M. C. Adolfson, representing the Western Pythian Publishing Co., came to the board with a recommendation from Gen. J. O. Royer. He was soliciting an ad for the official publication of the K. of P. lodge which would issue 23,000 copies containing ads and write-ups of Orange county. He wanted the endorsement of the board in order to assist him in securing advertising matter from the business men. The matter was referred to the merchants' association. The special edition will be issued before the K. of P. celebration at Fullerton on July 4. A proposition from the official school publication of California to run a page ad in that journal one issue for $22 was accepted, and Messrs: Abbey, Ahlborn and Hauck appointed to prepare the matter. The magazine will be distributed at the convention of the National Educational Society at Minneapolis. The representative of the Outwest magazine, who recently attempted to land an ad from the board for the tourist guide which his firm is issuing, again made a plea for his house but failed. He offered a half page for $200 and extended the time of payment until next January, but the board decided that $200 could be expended to better advantage by advertising in regular publications, consequently the proposition was declined. The health ordinance manure from horse must not be permitted longer than one week; greatest breeder of flies The establishment of the state experiment station was warmly discussed and a night telegram was ordered dispatched to the board of regents of the State University demanding that the protests from the citrus growing communities against establishing the station at San Fernando be given full consideration. The regents were to consider the report of the commission appointed to recommend a site on Tuesday. Secretary Abbey stated that the Redlands Chamber of Commerce had phoned him that almost every chamber and board in Southern California was sending in a protest and requested that Anaheim do likewise. He read the telegram prepared by J. F. Ahlborn which was endorsed and ordered dispatched. Speeches were made in fiery language against the action of the commission by J. F. Ahlborn and A. A. Mills. Mr. Ahlborn stated that Mr. Chapman, a member of the commission, had practically admitted that they were influenced by the offer of a free site by San Fernando. The citrus industry, said Mr. Ahlborn, is now worth fifty million dollars per year and will shortly be increased to twice that, yet it is to be jeopardized by the establishment of this important station at an unsuitable place in order to save a dinky sixty thousand dollars. The conditions surrounding San Fernando are exactly the same as those the managers are now seeking to escape at Riverside. He recommended that, if the matter can be delayed pressure be brought to bear on the legislature to secure an appropriation Contest on the Mat at Anaheim Opera House Friday Night Two hundred people witnessed the wrestling match between Fred Roeber and Al Thorpe at the Anaheim opera house Friday evening. It was advertised as a contest for the Pacific coast championship as Roeber, it was claimed, was cock-of-the-walk from San Diego to Seattle, while Thorp was champion of Mexico. Roeber was the best bet of the two, as he tipped the beam at 225 pounds, while his opponent only pulled down 210 and looked frail by the side of him. The sympathies of the auditors were all with the American, of course, and he justified their hopes and expectations. It would have been heart-breaking if they had paid money to witness the triumph of a Mexican over an American, but Roeber was equal to the emergency. He not only cinched the game by winning the first two falls but took the third one also. Thorpe was wirey and put up a good fight against superior weight. In the first bout it was 12 minutes before the big man got his shoulders on the mat and received the referee's decision. The second stanzy was a short one, lasting only two and a half minutes, and the third was won by Roeber in four and one-half minutes. The Californian was therefore declared the champion wrestler of the Pacific coast and everybody was satisfied. AHEIM GAZETE ANAHEIM CALIFORNIA, THURSDAY, JUNE 11, 1914 SUPERINTENDENT SACKETT IS A BUSY MAN HAS INAUGURATED A CLEAN-UP CAMPAIGN AND IS PURGING STREETS AND ALLEYS CITY HEALTH OFFICER TRUXAW WILL FOLLOW UP AND MAKE ANAHEIM A CLEAN TOWN War against weeds, trash, dirt, filth, the deadly germ, fly-breeding matter, and everything of an objectionable nature, has been declared in Anaheim, and the officers in charge of the forces will not lay down their arms until every nuisance is removed and the city is made the cleanest town in the state. Street Superintendent J. W. Sackett is in command just now. He began last week with a force of men on the streets and alleys, and is making a clean sweep. Weeds and grass, flourishing where they have no business to grow, tin cans, worn-out hardware, wire, old shoes, defunct cats and chickens, manure heaps and discarded clothing are being garnered by him and swept into his dragnet for removal to the city's dumping ground or for incineration. Mr. Sackett has no authority to encroach upon private property with his clean force but the police are there. DEATH REMOVES A NATIVE SON William Fisher Answers the Call After Lingering Illness After an illness dating back several weeks from dropsy, aggravated by a chronic case of asthma, William H. Fisher died at the home of his mother, Mrs. Clara Fisher, at 8 o'clock Saturday evening. In his younger days, before asthma wrecked his body, Billy was prominent in athletic sports, and was a baseball player of promise, but the disease forced him to give up solent exercise, although but 30 years and 4 months of age. He was a native of this region, having been born near Anaheim. He leaves besides his mother, a brother, C. H. Fisher, and two sisters, Mrs. Zimmerman and Mrs. Lamont. The funeral was held at St. Boniface church at 9 o'clock Tuesday morning, conducted by Rev. Father Dubbel, and the remains interred in the Anaheim cemetery. Beautiful wreaths were sent by the Presbyterian society and by the Eagle and Fraternal Brotherhood lodges, which covered the casket. The pallbearers were Fritz Schneider, Otto Rees, Bob Rimpau, Steven Rimpau, Walter Kaheler and Leonard Hessel. BACGALAUREATE SERVICES SUNDAY EVE CITY IN DARKNESS WHEN LIGHT GOES OUT NORTHERN SECTION OF TOWN CUT OFF SATURDAY NIGHT BY VANDAL MOVING WIRES HIGH VOLTAGE WIRE TORN FROM FASTENINGS AND ANCHORED TO NEIGHBORING POLE A nail newly driven into a telephone pole at the corner of Adele and Olive streets to which two high voltage wires of the city electric lighting system had been wound, after being wrenched from their fastenings to poles nearby, was the vandal act of a miscreant on Saturday evening about 8 o'clock, which caused a cessation of light in the northern part of town for an hour and a half, and might have resulted in a serious accident if not fatalities. Mystery surrounds the sudden dousing of the electric lights on the Broadway circuit which for an hour and a half plunged the northern portion of the city in darkness. Somebody tampered with the wires but who, why, and for what purpose, remains undiscovered. The power house was first apprised of the matter by the kick-back in the week with a force of men on the streets and alleys, and is making a clean sweep. Weeds and grass, flourishing where they have no business to grow, tin cans, worn-out hardware, wire, old shoes, defunct cats and chickens, manure heaps and discarded clothing are being garnered by him and swept into his dragnet for removal to the city's dumping ground or for incineration. Mr. Sackett has no authority to encoach upon private property with his clean-up force but the real estate belonging to the municipality is under his jurisdiction, and is undergoing a thorough combing. All the alleys south of Center street were cleaned and swept of unsanitary matter last week, and Mr. Sackett is now working on the north side. As soon as the alleys are thoroughly cleansed the superintendent will put the scrapers and a force of men on the streets. They will be scraped and oiled and all the weeds and grass eliminated. When the job is finished the streets and alleys and the public property of Anaheim will be absolutely clean. Mr. Sackett's authority stops with the public places, but City Health Officer Truxaw and Marshal Kellenberger will continue the fight for cleanliness and health. In this issue of the Gazette is published an extract of several sections from city ordinance No. 197 defining the duties of the health officer and providing penalties for neglecting or disobeying his instructions and proclamations. It might be profitable for every person to read this and familiarize himself with what is required of property owners and tenants in this clean-up campaign, as it is the intention of the officers to enforce these provisions and bring forth a clean city. There will be nothing left in which a disease germ can conceal himself when they have finished. It is estimated that the tin cans and other metallic articles, when all are removed, will build a pile as large as a church. This stuff will be hauled to the dumping grounds. All tenants of houses are requested and expected to clean their grounds of such debris, dump it into boxes and barrels and place them within easy reach of the wagons. These wagons will make periodical trips through the streets and gather up the garbage and refuse. It will be carted off free of charge to the householders, but the receptacles must be placed close to the sidewalk, otherwise the drivers will not find them. The health ordinance provides that manure from horse or cow stables must not be permitted to accumulate longer than one week. This is the greatest breeder of flies known and itemetery. Beautiful wreaths were sent by the Presbyterian society and by the Eagle and Fraternal Brotherhood lodges, which covered the casket. The pallbearers were Fritz Schneider, Otto Rees, Bob Rimpau, Steven Rimpau, Walter Kaheler and Leonard Hessel. BACCALAUREATE SERVICES SUNDAY EVE Interesting Program Rendered at the High School Auditorium Baccalaureate services in honor of the graduating class of the Anaheim high school were held at the auditorium Sunday evening. The room had been tastefully decorated by the pupils with flowers and greenery, and the big room was filled with interested audiitors. The following program was rendered, the congregation joining in singing the two hymns: Doxology...by the Congregation Invocation...Rev. A. H. Zahl Music, "Stand Fast"...by the Choir Scripture Reading.Rev. F. W. Mitchell Hymn, "Love Divine"...Congregation Sermon...Rev. David Todd Gillmore Music, "Thou Art the King of Glory" Choir Hymn, "All Hail the Power of Jesus' Name..." Congregation Benediction...Rev. A. H. Zahl Rev. David Todd Gillmor, rector of St. Michael's, had been chosen to deliver the baccalaureate sermon, and his address justified the choice. His address was appropriate and punctuated with fatherly advice to the graduates. The two hymns in which the congregation joined, were printed on the program so that all might know the words. ANLAUF RECOVERS HIS MISSING MOTORS Jimmie Gow and Party Located in Cantaloupe Fields at Brawley Between two suns, on the night of May 31, James Gow, John Gow, Lew Coppers and Huel Lindley, all employees of the Anaheim Fruit Association, left Anaheim astride of two tandem motorcycles for parts unknown. Jimmie Gow was foreman at the packing house and was a married man, having a wife and one small child to support, and there was no known reason why he or any of the others should suddenly disappear and leave good po- ANAHEIM BOYS MAKE GOOD RECORD Carry Off Two Firsts in Tennis Contests at Santa Ana Last Saturday morning at 9 o'clock some 30 or 40 tennis enthusiasts met on the high school tennis courts at Santa Ana. They were the ones who had carried off the honors in their respective schools, and were now ready to measure their strength in an inter-scholastic meet. By 9:30 the drawings were completed, and the contest was on. The winning teams were: Boys' first singles, Anaheim; boys' second singles, Santa Ana; boys' doubles, Anaheim; girls' first singles, Santa Ana; girls' second singles, Santa Ana; girls' doubles, Santa Ana; mixed doubles, Santa Ana. Between two suns, on the night of May 31, James Gow, John Gow, Lew Coppers and Huel Lindley, all employes of the Anaheim Fruit Association, left Anaheim astride of two tandem motorcycles for parts unknown. Jimmie Gow was foreman at the packing house and was a married man, having a wife and one small child to support, and there was no known reason why he or any of the others should suddenly disappear and leave good positions behind them. It developed later that Gow had purchased the two motorcycles of Merle Anlauf, had made a payment on them but still owned $150 on them. Anlauf had also secured the younger Gow for $20 and was let in for the payment. Last week Merle started out to trace the delinquents and soon got onto their trail although they were traveling under assumed names. He traced them to Brawley and found three of the men busily engaged in making crates for the Imperial Valley canteloupe crop. The younger Gow was not with the other three. Anlauf secured his wheels and brought them home. It is not probable that any charges will be, or can be preferred against the boys unless Mrs. Gow issues a warrant against her husband for wife desertion. He declared to Anlauf that he would never return to Anaheim unless he was brought back handcuffed. Mr. and Mrs. George W. Hamler leave on Monday for a six-weeks' visit to Chicago, New York, Boston and other points east. THE EBELL CLUB The Ebell Society of Anaheim held a very pleasant and interesting meeting at Odd Fellows' hall Saturday, June 6. It was the last meeting of the year. The election of officers for next year, which was begun at the last meeting, was finished. The officers are as follows: President, Mrs. C. E. Chamberlain; first vice-president, Mrs. George Terry; second vice-president, Mrs. Eva Boyd; corresponding secretary, Mrs. Earl Abbey; recording secretary, Mrs. Alice Grimshaw; curator, Mrs. G. A. Gifford; treasurer, Mrs. J. O. Reed; librarian, Mrs. Cora Dutton; directors, three years, Mrs. F. A. Backs, Mrs. Closson; two years, Mrs. A. L. Lewis, Mrs. Simpson; one year, Mrs. A. C. Pearson, Mrs. D. L. Parker. Reports were given by the delegates to the California State Federation of Women's Clubs, which was held at Riverside last month. Mrs. Simpson gave a very good report of the proceedings. Mrs. Morse followed her with a very graphic account of each day's proceedings at the convention. She had taken notes in shorthand and gave a very full report which was much enjoyed. Mrs. Tipton spoke especially of Mrs. Robert Burdette's part in the program. After these re- PORTS CAME THE PROGRAM OF THE AFTERNOON. Miss Trowbridge gave a piano solo; Mr. Clarence Chamberlain, a violin solo; both players were encored. Mrs. Wm. Turner of Pasadena gave several very enjoyable readings. Announcement was made of the next meeting of the domestic science section, which will be in the form of a picnic at Mrs. Harbeson's next Friday afternoon, June 12. An entertainment will be given at Fremont school later on, the proceeds of which will be used in payment on the club house site. At the close of the meeting refreshments of ice cream and cake were served. The next meeting will be in September when the installation of officers will take place. PROGRESS OF THE COUNTY HIGHWAY Commissioner McFadden Gives Figures of Present Situation In the opinion of Ralph McFadden, member of the county highway commission, there will be a substantial sum left from the $1,270,000 bond issue after the roads, originally planned, have been built, but he is not prepared to reduce the sum to actual dollars and cents. He thinks, however, it will be in the neighborhood of $100,-000, but as there are six or seven contracts yet to let the actual figures cannot be determined. Since beginning on the system there has been completed the Orangethorpe avenue, Huntington Beach, sections 1 SCHOOL EXHIBIT INTERESTING DISPLAY HUNDREDS OF SPECIMENS OF MANUAL TRAINING AND ART DEPARTMENTS SHOWN GREAT ADVANCEMENT OVER PREVIOUS YEAR DISPLAYED BY THE PUPILS Hundreds of interested people flocked to the several school buildings Friday and Saturday to see the numerous specimens of work accomplished by the manual training and domestic science departments in the past year, and to judge for themselves of the advancement made by the pupils during that period. In each of the eighteen rooms of the three schools hundreds of examples of handiwork of the pupils were on exhibition, every youngster in the different branches being represented by at least one specimen. Pictorial art appears to be the most popular study judging from the numerous drawings in black and colored crayon. Miss Bess Edwards is the instructor, and she is unquestionably a busy person if she passes judgment and criticism on the hundreds of drawings turned out by the budding artists. All of them are drawn from COMRADE MARKLE RECEIVED PROMOTION Appointed Aide de Camp on Staff of Department Commander Tuttle Rev. A. B. Markle received a document this week announcing that he had been appointed aide de camp on the staff of B. B. Tuttle, commander of the department of California and Nevada, Grand Army of the Republic. Comrade Markle does not say whether this elevation to high rank comes to him unsolicited and as a surprise no rooms of the three schools hundreds of examples of handiwork of the pupils were on exhibition, every youngster in the different branches being represented by at least one specimen. Pictorial art appears to be the most popular study judging from the numerous drawings in black and colored crayon. Miss Bess Edwards is the instructor, and she is unquestionably a busy person if she passes judgment and criticism on the hundreds of drawings turned out by the budding artists. All of them are drawn from copies, maps and California flowers predominating, and many show natural aptitude and promise of good work in later years from the pencils of the artists. All the pupils in the eighteen rooms appear to take an interest in this branch of work, as several specimens were contributed by each artist-pupil. The most important branch of this or these departments of the school is the manual training, which is under the personal supervision of the principal, Prof. Vanderveer. It would be impossible to comment on or even mention the various articles fashioned from wood and turned out by busy hands in the big workroom down in the basement, but many of the small cabinets, boxes, tables, etc., would do credit to an experienced joiner or cabinet maker. In the model building branch of this department six specimens were on display made by boys with inclinations leaning toward inventive and construction work. Stanley Falkenstein's model was a biplane which looked like it could fly if it had been unchained from its moorings; Harold Terry displayed a warehouse elevator; Teddy Kuchel's model was a rotating jib crane, designed to lift any weight with ease; another crane—a luffing and swiveling jib crane—was shown by Jimmie Whitaker; Floyd Baker was showing a windmill of beautiful design; and Archie Arnold had a complicated piece of machinery which he called a pit headgear. These ingenious models were made of steel cut into short lengths from which the pupil could construct anything his fancy dictated. Miss Bertha Kimball's domestic science department had numerous articles of wearing apparel made by the deft fingers of her pupils displayed on the walls. Miss Kimball is also in command of the big kitchen where the pupils are learning to prepare appetizing dishes with no dyspeptic germs lurking in them. In the Central building the work displayed was similar to that in the Fremont school, although the pupils were not so far advanced. There are eight rooms in this building and all were filled with specimens, hundreds of them being displayed on the walls. The Mexican room in this building under charge of Miss Smith, where none Appointed Aide de Camp on Staff of Department Commander Tuttle Rev. A. B. Markle received a document this week announcing that he had been appointed aide de camp on the staff of B. B. Tuttle, commander of the department of California and Nevada, Grand Army of the Republic. Comrade Markle does not say whether this elevation to high rank comes to him unsolicited and as a surprise package, or whether he had thrown out a line for it. Nevertheless it is a deserving promotion to a man who is capable and worthy of the place, and has long been ranked amongst the foremost counsellors of the order. It gives him a high position which he is admirably able to fill, and gives him a seat at banquet tables where the commissary stores are most plentiful. Mr. Markle is one of the old soldiers who saw war in its worst form and helped fight some of the bloody battles between the north and the south. He served three years in the 129th Illinois Volunteer Infantry, being attached to the 1st brigade, 3d division, 20th corps, Army of the Cumberland. He was with Sherman in his famous march from Atlanta to the sea. County Auditor Lester was in town on Tuesday afternoon, accompanied by Mrs. Lester, who is campaigning for him. Cal is making a ten-strike in thus securing the assistance of his young and pretty better half, and the more voters she sees the better it will be for Cal.
