The returns of the Placentia library district election were canvassed and the board found that there were 31 votes cast in favor of the district and 46 votes against the district, and the proposition was declared lost. The County Park custodian was ordered to permit no person to remain in the County Park after 9 P. M. except on Tuesday, Thursday and Saturday nights. The chairman of the board was authorized to sign a contract with the Southern California Edison Company for power at the county farm. The board adjourned to July 8, 1914, at 10 A.M.

Bids were received for surfacing West Chapman street bridge and the contract for furnishing the lumber was awarded to Skidmore Lumber Co. J. McFadden of Anaheim, realize that nine-tenths of the efficiency of the good roads work lies in the character of concrete obtained, and they and their engineers, of whom S. H. Finley is chief, are paying close attention to the mixing and curing of the product. Proportions of cement, sand and gravel are looked after, and after the concrete is laid the contractors are required to keep the concrete wet. At Garden Grove for days the middle of the streets looked like miniature canals. Dirt was used to make banks along each side of the strip of concrete, and water was kept standing on the concrete. The base has been laid for the state highway between Santa Ana and Anaheim, and is nearly completed between Anaheim and Fullerton. About 6,000 feet of base is still to be laid on the state road between Fullerton and the county line in La Habra Valley. FREDERICKS TALKED TO SUGAR MEN Tells the People of Los Alamitos What Free Trade Is Doing For Them Los Alamitos, Cal., July 11, 1914. At the mass meeting held here Thursday, Captain John D. Fredericks, candidate for the governorship, began by speaking of the closing of sugar factories in this state, also in other parts of the country, being solely on account of hostile tariff enactments and said it was true that the result of free sugar in 1916 would inevitably be to close them all. In addressing the men employed at the factory who composed the larger part of his audience, he called attention to the fact that they in 1916, together with hundreds of thousands of other men would be hunting jobs and with no jobs for them. While the owners might have a little saved up so that they can stand it to put out business for a time it will end. Huberman hadpleted the paving street, and it was disbanded day that because of cement defective work on the north side of French and Lacy. He acknowledged that effective and promising again. He commenced tearing up the base of the concrete being field and spread in street. A roller is the big chunks of coating the street in good work is coating them nothing and it will be good one.

He said the sugar trust was watchfully waiting for the death of the beet sugar industry, beet sugar being the one thing only holding them in check. With that off the market the trust will be able to, and will, boost the price of sugar brought from cane countries across the water, to a high figure no matter how low the temporary price may be held meantime.

He spoke of hunting ducks in the past all over this section of country where the splendid great sugar plant is now located, at which time the value of the land was about $2.50 an acre while at the present time under normal conditions the value is enchanced many times, but with the factory closed or removed, values would fall again to a very low level. He spoke to the men in a heart-to-heart talk as one of themselves and one who had had experience in the same line of business, being himself at the present time a sugar beet grower. That he struck a responsive chord was evidenced by the applause that greeted his remarks. It has now been definitely decided to start the sugar factory slicing beets on Tuesday the 28th. This date has been delayed on account of the prevailing cool weather, with foggy mornings causing the beets to ripen slowly.

GOOD PROGRESS ON COUNTY'S HIGHWAYS Seventeen Miles Completed and 76 Miles Under Contract Orange county's good roads projects are moving ahead in a manner pleasing to those who are working for the development of this, the smallest of the Southern California counties, and for its size the richest in California. Under the $1,270,000 bond issue it was planned to improve 107 miles of roads. Of that 107 miles 16.81 miles have been completed and accepted, and 76.34 miles are either completed or under contract. Of the 76.34 miles the concrete base is laid upon 39.44 miles, and the grading has been done on an additional 12.05 miles. The class of paving done on the county highways calls for a concrete base with a wearing surface of rock and oil. The county highway commissioners, D. C. Pixley of Orange, W. T. Newland of Huntington Beach and R. IN AND ABOUT COUNTY 1,000 Tons Concrete Daily D. C. Pixley, chairman of the Orange County Highway Commission, says that about 1,000 tons of concrete material is being used every day in the construction of good roads in this county. This includes the work being done on five different contracts now under way, and the total distance covered on the five jobs will amount to one-half mile per day of completed paving. It is expected the system included in the original bond issue will be finished by the first of January, 1915. In this end of the county the work at present under construction includes the road between Buena Park and Fullerton city limits, and a contract covering ten miles of construction between Anaheim and Olinda. On the latter job there remains about one and one-half miles of road to be paved.

Overlooked the Money Overlooked the Money Burglar entered the Triangle market at Santa Ana last Thursday night. The thieves picked the lock of the back door, entered the store, and cleaned out one of the three tills, totally overlooking the fact that there were two more cash registers, one of which contained more money than the one they looted. They took $5, all in small change. Word was not given to the police for the reason that the proprietors were of the opinion that they might be able to secure evidence against the thief, if the news did not get abroad. Gerrard Bros., proprietors of the market, say they will not leave any more money in the store. They are unable to say just what else, if anything, was stolen. There is a heavy stock of canned goods in the store, and a big haul of these might have been made, and not discovered until inventory was taken. In the Oil Field The St. Helens Petroleum Company brought in their Anderson well No. 1 this week at a depth of 3240 feet. It is flowing 1000 barrels per day of oil about 22 gravity.

Ralph started to wade across the bay, telling his brother that he would return with a boat as Celll, Ralph's brother, cannot swim and decided for this reason not to try to wade across. The bay, or slough, at Anaheim Landing is known to be full of holes. It is quite likely that Ralph came upon one of these pockets just about the time when he was seized with cramps. The cry uttered by Ralph Brown was understood by his brother to have been one for help. This was brought out at the coroner's inquiry held at Anaheim Landing. Ccelll said that he was not certain just what Ralph said. The brother, Ccelll, was the only witness of the tragedy. A boating party was also on the bay but was too far away to note that anything out of the ordinary was taking place. Immediately that Ccelll Brown made known the drowning of his brother a seine was stretched across the bay to prevent the body from washing out to sea. Men in boats at once began a search for the body with grappling hooks. It was not until 7 o'clock that the corpse was located, a floating tobacco pipe at a point about a quarter of a mile from the scene of the accident giving the searching party a clew as to the location of the body. One of Brown's legs was doubled up under him, this leading to the inference that cramps had seized him. Ralph Brown leaves a wife at Downey. He was employed as a machinist at that place. Mrs. A. Koenig returned this week from San Fransisco to look over her business interests in Anaheim. While in the northern metropolitan Mrs. A. Koenig became interested in an Isthmian Canal Souvenir Company, a corporation having for its object the manufacturing of Panama material souvenirs to be sold not only at the expositions of San Francisco, San Diego and Panama, but also in every city and town of the United States. By permission of the Isthmian Canal Commission and its chairman, Governor Goethals, 1200 bags of Culebra cut soil, 250 bags of semi-precious stanes, 20,000 of the highly valued Isthmian Canal metal time checks of the canal builders, thousands of silver spoons, 500 hardwood railroad ties laid in 1856, of which it is said "one life was lost for every tie," and much other material was secured and shipped to San Francisco to the TAXPAYER CONDEMNS LIBRARY SCHEME Shows Why Interests of People Are Opposed to Fake Library Proposition Editor Gazette: For those who are in doubt as to what constitutes a county library, I wish to make the following explanation: A county free library is a library established by the vote of the supervisors; it is supported by a tax levied for that purpose. The county library is situated at the county seat and conducted by a "certified" librarian—that is—the state board of examiners pass upon his or her "fitness" for the position. The county librarian establishes branches, or library stations, throughout the county from which books are circulated. These branches are each in charge of some local person known as the custodian. Every little while the books, part or all, according to needs and wishes of the locality, are exchanged; the old ones sent back to the county library and have a new lot sent out. In a "contract" library these differences occur: The supervisors contract with an existing library in the county to carry on the county library work. The librarian does not have to be "certified." The amount to maintain such a library is a lump sum appropriated by the supervisors for the purpose. If Orange county is to have a county free library why not follow the example of Alameda, Sacramento, Merced, San Joaquin, Riverside, Santa Barbara, Santa Cruz and Yolo counties and have a contract library? This will give people who do not have library service now just as adequate service as the "separate" county library and has the following advantages in addition: The county librarian can be one of our own librarians, but she will not be paid the salary which the law obliges us to pay an outsider. The salary fixed by law, should we have a "separate" county library, is $1800. We believe the library at the county seat has sur- Monte Cristo is preparing to bring in their well No. 3.

The Standard Oil Company is pumping the water off from their well on the Lemke lease. The Calokla has brought in their Lehmer No. 1, pumping about 200 barrels per day. Brea Canyon Oil Company well No. 11A has lately increased its production from 400 barrels per day to 1000 barrels, and would do better if it were not partially held in. No. 27 is fishing for a lost bit, and No. 28 is sidetracking their 12½ inch pipe. DROWNS IN BAY AT ANAHEIM LANDING Ralph Brown of Downey Seized With Cramp and Sinks Ralph Brown aged 22, of Downey, was drowned in the bay at Anaheim Landing Sunday noon. He was wading from the far side of the bay toward the Landing side and was within 50 feet of the bank when his brother, Clell Brown, who had remained on the far bank, saw him suddenly throw up his hands and with a cry sink from sight. That was the last that Clell Brown saw of his brother until the body was recovered by searchers at 7 o'clock Sunday evening. It is thought that the unfortunate young man was seized with cramps which prevented him from saving himself. He was known as a good swimmer. The two men had been gathering clams at about a mile inland from the wharf at the Anaheim Landing. Having secured all the clams they wanted FOR SALE—Satsuma plums. T. H. Hopkins, Olive road.
