MISS EDDY TALKS ON COUNTY LIBRARY OUTLINES PLANS OF PROPOSED SYSTEM UNDER CONTROL OF THE STATE LIBRARIAN MEMBERS OF LOCAL LIBRARY BOARD DISAPPROVE OF SACRA-MENTO PROPOSITION On her way to Buena Park where she was going to work in the interest of the county free library scheme, Miss Harriet Eddy, organizer for the state library at Sacramento, stopped an hour in Anaheim Friday evening and, on invitation of President Horace E. Hand of the local board, attended the meeting of the trustees and explained the system under which the Sacramento powers are establishing free county libraries, which are merely branches of the parent institution at the state capital and are dominated by the state librarian. The law under which these libraries are being organized, said Miss Eddy, was designed for the purpose of extending a free system to the rural population and persons not now within reach of a public library. Municipalities owning free libraries are not included in the scheme. They will be left out of the territory covered by the country library system and will not be taxed to maintain it unless the city trustees desire to incorporate the municipal library in the county system and become subordinate to the state librarian, who appears to be the guilding force of the system. vitation, to acquaint the board with her proposition. The library board had no authority to take action in the matter, but President Hand talked in favor of it at the close of Miss Eddy's address. It was evident, nevertheless, that certain other members of the board were not so favorably impressed. There is a feeling that a county library should be controlled by local people and should have no strings leading to Sacramento attached to it. CONSTABLE FIGHTS WITH DRUNKEN MEX Los Alamitos Officer Has Desperate Battle With Cholo Constable Rice of Los Alamitos has a broken shoulder as the result of a blow delivered with a beer bottle by M. Sejas, a Mexican. Sejas struggled with Rice in an attempt to get his revolver, and the officer was saved from probable death by the intervention of a friend. The attempt to kill Rice took place in Rodriguez's poolroom at Los Alamitos. Rice is small in stature, but he is all nerve and grit. He heard a lot of yelling going on in Rodriguez's place, and he stepped in. He found that Fortunado Agullar was the chief disturber. He knew Agullar well, and ordered him to keep quiet or go home. Agullar began cursing the officer, and then stepped toward him. It was at that moment that Sejas from behind, and with beer bottle in hand he struck the officer three blows. That Rice was not killed on the spot was not due to lack of intention on Sejas' part. One blow struck Rice on the top of the right shoulder, and fractured a bone. Rice drew his revolver, but had no chance to use it. Sejas, who is a powerful fellow, seized the weapon, EATS RUN SHOT AT Many Anaheim People Lunch at Noon Of the hundreds of left town Saturday Fourth of July a good them went to Fallen the Knights of Pythagorely favoring that town celebration was given pieces of the Knight returned home at no afterward in search eat as they claimed bacce failed to mate restaurants were when the hungry crowd.

LEG WAS AM Martinez Morales tracing accident Sun sequences were that I to have his right leg tending a free system to the rural population and persons not now within reach of a public library. Municipalities owning free libraries are not included in the scheme. They will be left out of the territory covered by the country library system and will not be taxed to maintain it unless the city trustees desire to incorporate the municipal library in the county system and become subordinate to the state librarian, who appears to be the guilding force of the system. If such municipalities, after becoming part of the county system, desire to withdraw and again maintain their independence they can do so after giving six months' notice to the supervisors. The board of supervisors is the presumptive head of the county library, but the power behind the throne is the parent institution at Sacramento. The board has authority to elect a librarian but he or she can only be selected from a list of certificated candidates supplied from the office of the state librarian. The librarian is a county official and his salary of $1,800 per year is paid out of the county salary fund and not from the library fund which is raised by a tax levy not to exceed one mill. The board of examiners which certifies to the ability of these candidates is composed of the state librarian and the public librarians of San Francisco and Los Angeles. A law sought to be enforced previous to the enactment of the present law, said Miss Eddy, was very unsatisfactory and unpopular. The chief objection was that it included all municipalities in the county system whether they maintained public libraries or not. A storm of protest arose, everyone of the southern counties making a vigorous objection. It was finally wiped off the calendar by being declared unconstitutional, and the present law was enacted in its stead. Under its provisions the establishment of the county library lies with the supervisors but its management and control is embodied in the person of the librarian who, after his appointment establishes the various branches throughout the county and maintains headquarters at the county seat. A system of exchange is one of the features of the system, according to Miss Eddy. Each county will supply its stations or branches with popular works such as fiction, juvenile books, etc., and they will be exchanged from time to time with other branches to suit the convenience and demands of ORANGE COUNTY'S TAXABLE VALUES More Than Six Million Dollars Increase Over Last Year Assessor James Sleeper has finished his compilation of the assessable property throughout the county and finds that in the past year there has been an appreciable increase in values throughout Orange county, due, in no small measure, to the development of new wells in the old fields. But the oil properties are not all by any manner of means. New buildings and improvements in old ones have increased the property values immensely, and these, together with the natural increment, have been sufficient to make the value of all the property in the county $51,031,730, as against a total valuation of $44,838,205, in 1913. These figures show, therefore, that there has been a net increase of $-193,525, a substantial and gratifying Bicycle race—Haze Peterson, 2nd. Girls' foot race—Gladys Dusenbury, 2nd.

It was blooded animal was ejected to a street sweeper in got over the streets. A system of exchange is one of the features of the system, according to Miss Eddy. Each county will supply its stations or branches with popular works such as fiction, juvenile books, etc., and they will be exchanged from time to time with other branches to suit the convenience and demands of the patrons. The county bears the expense of these exchanges and borrowings from one library to another within its own borders. Heavy weight literature, however, is housed at Sacramento, and a request for any particular work will be supplied to the librarian making it, the state paying the expense of transportation both ways. "Our system," said Miss Eddy, "provides a universal service. If any person wishes a book not found in his district library it will be furnished him from some other point free of cost. This is the way the county library brings relief to those hitherto unprovided for. We are not trying to proselyte towns now maintaining public libraries, but those towns may join our county system through the city trustees notifying the board of supervisors that they so desire. If the experiment proves unsatisfactory they can withdraw and re-establish their municipal library." Miss Eddy's remarks were brief as an impatient chaffeur was waiting to drive her to Buena Park. She is a fluent talker, however, and succeeded in saying a great many things in a short space of time. She was speaking indifferent if not hostile territory, and acknowledged that her work lay outside of towns already having libraries. She merely stopped, on in- But the oil properties are not all by any manner of means. New buildings and improvements in old ones have increased the property values immensely, and these, together with the natural increment, have been sufficient to make the value of all the property in the county $51,031,730, as against a total valuation of $44,838,205, in 1913. These figures show, therefore, that there has been a net increase of $193,525, a substantial and gratifying increase. The exemptions are about the same, everything being taken into consideration, as in 1913. In the latter year there was a total of $206,565, and this year the total will reach $249,225, an increase in exemptions of $42,660. The grand total is, of course, exclusive of the assessments on railroad property. The assessments on these latter have not been compiled. DROWNED AT NEWPORT One life was the toll exacted by the waters of Newport Bay from the 15,000 people who spent the Fourth of July along the bay and ocean shores of the Newport Beach strip. Eugene C. Johnson of Los Angeles was the man who was drowned and the Fourth of July had almost passed into history when the accident occurred which cost him his life. It happened about 11:30 Saturday night. Johnson was a sign painter of Los Angeles, his address being 1048 South Olive street. His mother, Mrs. S. F. Johnson, and brother, William A. Johnson, live at Riverside, the latter being a cement contractor. His father was sheriff of Riverside county for eight years and later was chief of police of Riverside and died while holding the latter position. The young man who was drowned was 35 years of age and unmarried. STREET SWEERER Street Sweeper Pets his job on Monday, trailing with him, and leaving er idle.

Many persons returned home at noonday or shortly afterward in search of something to eat as they claimed the promised barbecue failed to materialize and the restaurants were wholly unable to feed the hungry crowd. Company 26, U. R. K. P. did not compete in the drill as it was expecting to do for some reason. Following is a list of the prizes won by competitors in the various contests: Four companies of the Uniform Rank, K. P., took part in the competitive drill.

HILES, Prop. 26 Years on Broadway, Los Angeles NOW REMEMBER--NO "AD" NO SUIT LEG WAS AMPUTATED Martinez Morales met with a distressing accident Sunday and the consequences were that he was compelled to have his right leg amputated above the knee. The accident occurred at Delhi. Morales was stepping from his wagon and had placed his foot on the hub of the front wheel, when something caused his horse to start, and the wheel turning round threw his leg between the spokes. His foot struck the bottom of the wagon with great force, breaking the lower bones in two or three places and forcing the sharp end of the shin bone out through the flesh. There was no chance to save the limb and the doctors came to the conclusion that speedy amputation was necessary. Dr. Ball, aided by Dr. Cushman, took off the member. Morales is a married man with several children. It was at first supposed that a riata was the cause of his accident, but investigation developed that it occurred as related. DRAINAGE ASSESSMENTS The California State Reclamation Board has appointed three assessors whose duty it will be to levy assessments upon property falling within the State Drainage District. The assessors are A. E. Chandler, for years connected with the United States Reclamation Service; Alexander Brown of Stockton, former president of the State Board of Equalization, and Max Endelein of Freno, a reclamation engineer. These gentlemen will apportion the $250,000 assessment, the initial one under the laws of 1913, to holdings of 17,000,000 acres in the Sacramento and San Joaquin Drainage Districts.

The growers of beets would lose 75 cents per ton on their product, and the plant had reduced its force 50 men. At the suggestion of Mr. Eden an effort will probably be made to organize a woman's republican club in Anaheim. Santa Ana has already begun the formation of one and the ladies are taking great interest in it. It will give them a better knowledge of the political situation and the vital issues of the campaign. The club is arranging for a meeting at an early date to be addressed by Orator Burke of Santa Ana. Burke is the republican candidate for the assembly, and aspires to the only political office to be voted for at the primaries. He will tell voters why they should stay by their party, not only for his office, but for all others as well. Burke formerly resided in this city, and is popular among a wide circle of acquaintances. He has recently attained to the dignity of becoming a spell-binder and he will give us a great political speech. THURSDAY, JULY 9 A BARGAIN 10 acres well located and best of land $400 per acre.
