HOTEL PROJECT AGAIN IN THE FOREGROUND SITE OF THE McFARLAND LIVERY STABLE UNDER CONSIDERATION FOR MODERN HOSTELRY WILLIAM G. HEGER, A RETIRED ST. LOUIS BREWER, IS THE CAPITALIST BEHIND IT Again rumors are rife that a substantial, commodious and modern hotel may be built in Anaheim within the near future, and it is no secret that negotiations are under way which may develop into the purchase of a site, but at the present writing the matter is hanging fire and little progress has been made for a week or more. The site in question is the property of Mrs. J. E. Fisher, on West Center street, which has been occupied many years as a livery stable. Property owners and business in this block are praying that the deal may be consummated. Aside from the fact that it will remove a business considered unsightly, out of place and objectionable on a street which they are endeavoring to improve, the erection of a large up-to-date hotel in the block will be a valued acquisition. Moreover efforts are making to set the frontage of buildings in this block back eight feet for the purpose of widening the sidewalk, and the builders of the hotel would set an example that might stimulate others to take prompt action. The projector of the hotel proposition is William G. Heger of Casa Verdugo. Mr. Heger is a retired St. Louis brewer. Having disposed of his brewery interests he has adopted California City and County Briefs A. E. Hiles went up to the hub Tuesday in search of more goods. F. A. Yungbluth and wife and Miss Ida Bentz were visiting in Los Angeles last Wednesday. Mel Snyder, an old-time Orange county boy, was in town this week shaking hands with old acquaintances. The Eastern Star Whist Club will give a card party and dance at Masonic temple on next Tuesday evening, June 30th. Joe Jenness, the well known southside horticulturist, was in town Tuesday on a business mission, and renewing old acquaintanceship. Brea is getting to be some town. Four exhibition boring matches were pulled off there last Wednesday night before a goodly audience. Camille Allec has written his relatives here of his safe return to his ranch at Durango, Mexico, and that he found the section enjoying comparative quiet. The Associated Chambers of Commerce met last night at Brea. A number from the local board of trade attended. A technical error has again delayed work on the La Habra Valley road and another 30 days will be required before it is straigtened out. Judge Howard and family motored to Stoddard's camp on Sunday and spent the day at that resort. Mr. and Mrs. Fred Schneider, Mrs. Barker and Misses Lillie Dunlop and Mackie West autosed to Hollywood Sunday. The heavy ornamental cement blocks capping the doorways and windows of the German American Bank building are being put in place this week. Some of them weigh four tons. Miss Agnes Weber, chief operator of the Home Telephone Company, Miss Rose Mattis, Roy Charleston and Albert Knirsch motored to Huntington Beach Sunday. Frank C. Kent, who assaulted I. O. Wilson with a garden rake at Garden a business considered unsightly, out of place and objectionable on a street which they are endeavoring to improve, the erection of a large up-to-date hotel in the block will be a valued acquisition. Moreover efforts are making to set the frontage of buildings in this block back eight feet for the purpose of widening the sidewalk, and the builders of the hotel would set an example that might stimulate others to take prompt action. The projector of the hotel proposition is William G. Heger of Casa Verdugo. Mr. Heger is a retired St. Louis brewer. Having disposed of his brewery interests he has adopted California as his home. He has ample capital and desires to erect a building that will be a credit to the town, believing this to be an excellent location. It is understood that Mrs. Fisher is willing to sell the property and that an agreement could speedily be reached between the two principals, were it not for a stumbling block in the way. That is Dr. W. S. McFarland, proprietor of the livery stable, who holds a lease on the premises and does not feel inclined to cancel it. This lease was one of the items in the list of property turned over to him when he purchased the livery stable of Oliver Hill more than a year ago. It will have to be considered in a transfer of the property, consequent no agreement has yet been made. J. E. Fisher has been in the Imperial Valley for more than a week past and Mr. Heger is at his home, therefore it is impossible to make a definite statement of the probable developments. TO INVESTIGATE COUNTY LIBRARY Federation of Women's Clubs Want Light on the Subject Mrs. Ida F. Dutton of Anaheim, president of the Orange County Federation of Women's Clubs, has called a meeting of the executive board of that organization and chief among the topics to be considered at that time may be listed the county library project. The county federation is not committed to that project. Neither is it on record against it. At the meeting of the federation in April a resolution was introduced favoring such a project. A resolution upon the subject was passed, but Mrs. Dutton says that the resolution does not commit the federation to the plan. The president was authorized to appoint a committee to investigate the plan with the idea of securing information concerning it, and if the committee should find that the county library is needed a recommendation to that effect would be given the board of supervisors. That is the understanding of the situation by Mrs. Dutton and Mrs. A. J. Lawton of Santa Ana. "The county federation is not asking for the county library," said Mrs. Dutton. "The officers of the federation are not convinced that the library is needed. We want to investigate thoroughly." Mr. and Mrs. Fred Schneider, Mrs. Barker and Misses Lillie Dunlop and Mackie West autoed to Hollywood Sunday. The heavy ornamental cement blocks capping the doorways and windows of the German American Bank building are being put in place this week. Some of them weigh four tons. Miss Agnes Weber, chief operator of the Home Telephone Company, Miss Rose Mattis, Roy Charleston and Albert Knirsch motored to Huntington Beach Sunday. Frank C. Kent, who assaulted I. O. Wilson with a garden rake at Garden Grove, and gave him wounds from which he died, is now in the county jail without bail, held on a charge of murder. Miss Edith Simpson returned on Tuesday from Ramona convent, where she has been attending school for the past year. She stood at the head of the school in this year's examinations, and will return in September to resume her studies there. A party of four Los Angeles people had a narrow escape when the auto in which they were riding skidded and turned turtle just west of town Thursday. A tree prevented the machine falling on the occupants. None were injured but the car needed some repairs. The ball given by the military company of the Moose lodge at the opera house Thursday evening was a pleasant social affair. The hall had been decorated in becoming style and was comfortably filled with merry makers. A number of visitors were present from neighboring towns. Mrs. Dr. H. A. Johnston has been under care of a corps of physicians at the sanitarium since Friday when she was delivered of a stillborn male child. Mrs. Johnston has been seriously indisposed for several weeks past and a surgical operation was decided upon in order to save her life. Reports of her condition yesterday afternoon were that she was improving, and confidence is felt in her ultimate recovery. Messrs. Schmidt and Smith of the Schmidt & Knirsch Music Company, were the recipients of several encores at the Lutheran school exercises Monday evening. Der Deutschi Schmidt played the violin and the English Smith accompanied on the player piano. The entertainment throughout was a great success and reflected much credit on the new teacher, Prof. Goetz. The socialists of Orange county have formulated a complete ticket which will be printed on the ballot for the primary election. The ticket is as follows: Sheriff, Bruce Anson of Garden Grove; district attorney, W. S. Tipton of Anaheim; auditor, Mrs. Minnie M. Wilson of Santa Ana; treasurer, D. Edson Smith of Santa Ana; assessor, L. H. Bennett of Orange; tax collector, C. T. Greatland of Orange; county clerk, B. Hoffmaster of Santa Ana; recorder, E. E. Duncansen of Orange; coroner, A. C. Pritschan of Orange; surveyor, L. E. Tower of Laguna Beach; superintendent of schools, Grace A. Stewart of Balboa. John Hartung writes from Genoa, Italy, that he has lactly seen the spent day at that resort.

"The officers of the federation are not convinced that the library is needed. We want to investigate thoroughly." It is probable that a committee will be appointed to make this investigation. This committee, or some other committee representing the county federation, will probably appear before the board of supervisors on July 8, at the hearing set for that date. Mrs. Eddy, state organizer of county libraries, was in Santa Ana Sunday and had a conference with Mrs. Dutton and Mrs. A. J. Lawton in regard to the matter. Mrs. Eddy states that her attitude toward the project is not that of urging the library so much as working out the establishment of a library where one is wantd. Mrs. Flora M. Pyle of Westminster, who presented the county library plan to the board of supervisors, stated that she went as a representative of the woman's club, not as a representative of the county federation. FINED FOR SHORT WEIGHT R. Tsujieche, a Jap berry dealer of Santa Ana, was not permitted to make good short-weight berry boxes Monday. The berries were seized by Geo. McPhee, county sealer of weights and measures, while the Jap was-in a store trying to arrange for the sale. Finding that the berries had been seized, the Jap rushed to his ranch and brought back some more berries. He asked for the right to pour more berries in each box, but was denied that until he had paid a fine of $5 for offering short-weight produce for sale. Judging from the hundreds of automobiles passing through here to and from Huntington Beach Saturday and Sunday, Orange county must have liberally patronized the celebration. Anaheim sent a large delegation down to the beach town both days. John Hartung writes from Genoa, Italy, that he has lately seen the treat of his life. It is the famous violin used by the world's most wonderful violinist, Paganini. It was bequeathed to the city of Genoa by Paganini. It is kept in a glass case guarded and sealed with the official seal of the city, with a specially made lock on the door. He was compelled to make application to see it and was shown the treasure by a guard. Mr. Hartung, in his younger days, was one of the best violists in Southern California, and this wonderful instrument would be of special interest to him. He was leaving on the 8th for Monte Carlo. A Pinkerton detective was in Fullerton Saturday looking for a young man who gave the name of Aryes while he was in that town about two weeks ago. Ayers claimed to be a newspaper man and said he was supporting a mother and sister in Los Angeles. He stopped at the Hotel Pinson and when he departed gave a check on a Santa Ana bank for $20, bearing the signature of McAfee. The bank reported that it had no such name on its books and the hotel believes that Ayres forged the check as the handwriting seems to be the same as a part of a letter found in a waste basket addressed to his mother. The hotel swore to a complaint against Ayres and the detectives feel confident that they will locate him in a few days.

A regular meeting of the board of directors was held on the above date with all members present, except Directors Beazley and Dwyer. Minutes of the last regular meeting were read and approved. Superintendent reported the ditch on Garden Grove road in front of E. Borchert's property had been piped. On motion duly seconded the pumping plant committee were given authority to proceed with the work of repairing No. 2. On motion duly seconded the following section of the by-laws was ordered published: Sec. 22. Any person interfering with any of the gates or ditches of the company (unless requested to do so upon each occasion by the zanjero), is liable to a fine of twenty-five dollars." This section will be rigidly enforced as a number of damage claims are continually coming before the board as a result of carelessness on the part of stockholders, who having finished irrigating, pull their gates without notifying the zanjero, thus allowing the water to flood property not prepared for irrigation. The application of Ed. Atherton for a gate was referred to the superintendent. Applications on file for transfers of stock were on motion granded. Application for A. B. Annin for pipe line was referred to the superintendent. On motion duly seconded a communication received from the fish and game commissioner was referred to the S. A. R. D. Co. Report of the Amalgamated Oil Co. for the month of May was received and filed. Report of the St. Helens Co. for the month of May was received and filed. Report of the Hurley, Smith & Collins Co. for the month of May was received and filed. On motion the meeting adjourned. WM. T. WALLOP, Secretary. BOY SEES BATTLE AND DON'T LIKE IT Henry Brown Crossed the Border and Mixed With Belligerents Henry Braden and wife, Mrs. Ed. Schleuter and her mother, Mrs. Muller, motored over to Little Bear Valley Sunday morning and after spending a few hours with friends returned in the evening. They brought back with them Henry Brown, son of an old-time friend of Mr. Braden's, who will spend some time visiting in Anaheim. Henry is a lad of 12. Two or three years ago he spent one day in Valentine Valley in Mexico, two miles below the border and that, he declared was as long as he cared to live in Mexico. On that day, sometime in October, 1911, he witnessed a battle between federal and rebel troops which raged around him, and afterward visited the camp of the victorious army. General Orosco was in command of one force, but whether he happened to be a rebel or a federal at that particular time the boy cannot remember; neither does he recollect who the opposing general was. Orosco won, which is pretty good indication that he was a rebel. This days' experience convinced little Henry that Mexico is an uncomfortable place in which to live. He prefers to remain on this side the Rio Grande. LOIS BLAKE WEDDED TO WALTER J. JEWELL Popular Anaheim School Teacher United to Man From Brea Wednesday evening at 8 o'clock, Miss Lois Blake of this city, was married at the home of her parents, Mr. and Mrs. L. C. Blake, on North street, the groom being Walter J. Jewell of Brea. Nearly a hundred guests, friends of the bride and groom, witnessed the ceremony which was performed by Rev. C. H. M. Sutherland. Guests were present from Los Angeles, Long Beach and several other points, and numerous were the presents showered upon the young couple. The bride is one of Orange county's most popular lady teachers, for the past two years having taught at Olinda. Mr. Jewell is a prosperous business man of Brea, being proprietor of the machine shops at that point, and dealer in oil machinery. He has numerous friends in Anaheim who will extend congratulations on his capture of one of Anaheim's brightest and fairest daughters. The young people left for the north and will probable travel to eastern points and be absent several weeks before taking up their residence in the groom's new bungalow at Brea. YORBA-LINDA CASE NOW IN COURT Suit Against the Water Company Began Monday Morning Monday morning Judge Thomas began trial of the action brought by property owners of Yorba-Linda against the promoters of the tract. Attorneys for the defendants tried to get the trial put off, but the court denied the motion. The reason for asking a continuance was that Attorney Haas, who has done most of the court work for the defendants in these cases, is unable to be present at this time. Attorney Carr, representing the plaintiff land owners, stated that some of the plaintiffs had come a long distance for the trial, and that the plaintiffs had gone to a considerable trouble to be present. It was stated by attorneys on both sides that the first evidence to be submitted would be documentary, and adjournment was taken until Tuesday morning so that the attorneys might stipulate as to what evidence should be admitted without question. The taking of evidence from witnesses should commence Tuesday. There are four cases being tried in one trial, the issue in all the cases being the same. It is alleged by the land owners that the Yorba-Linda Water Company, and those who formed it, including Peter Janns, Jacob Stern, H. W. Frank and M. N. Newmark, failed to fulfill their contracts in regard to the development of water to the Yorba Lindans, who seek by the court to get their remedy. The land owners allege that bonds were issued by the water company for which no consideration was received, and that the water users are assessed to pay interest on the Fanning Mills If you are going to be in the market, come in and see the “CHATHAM” and get my price---it may help us both.

Barnard, who returned to Fullerton recently after a journey of several months over mountain and desert, will resume his travels this week in the interest of the chamber of commerce. In spite of the hardships endured, his physical condition is greatly improved and he hopes that he will be restored to health. He proposes to cover a distance of 5,000 miles in the next 12 or 14 months. His route will be through the Imperial Valley and Arizona, New Mexico and Texas to San Antonio, thence north to his former home at Mitchell, S. D., passing through Oklahoma, Kansas, Nebraska and a corner of Iowa. On the return trip he will make for Cheyenne, Wyo., and from there will follow the Lincoln highway route through Utah, Nevada and across the Sierras to San Francisco, coming down by the coast route to Fullerton, after stopping to see the big fair. Mr. Barnard will distribute literature advertising Fullerton and Orange county. He has a complete outfit for a trip of this kind, including three burros and camp equipment, tent, bed roll, cooking utensils, canteens and knapsack. Jerry Howard has returned from Victor Valley, where he went to look into contracts for well digging operations in that section. He met a number of former residents of this city, and may later return to sink a number of wells. S. J. Finley and wife of Los Angeles visited with Mr. and Mrs. Charley Halley Sunday.
