NEW CITY HALL JOE BACKS FOR RECORDER PLANS BEING FORMED ARCHITECTS ASKED TO GIVE ESTIMATES, AND BOND ISSUE PROBABLY BE MADE TRUSTEES REFUSE TO ACCEPT DEED FROM SANTA FE WITH CONDITIONS ATTACHED The first step toward the construction of a new city hall was taken by the trustees Thursday evening when instructions were given the public improvements committee to submit the matter to an architect or two, have plans drawn up for consideration, and get a line on the actual cost of the work. While the plans contemplate merely remodeling the present building it is probable that little of it will be incorporated in the new structure. At any rate it will be altered to such an extent that even the oldest inhabitant will not be able to recognize it. Some weeks ago the trustees purchased the building on the corner, now occupied by W. E. Duékworth, of Napoléon Hart, paying therefor $8,500 for it. This will be razed and the ground used for the extension of the new building. It will be necessary to vote bonds for the purpose as the total cost will be probably $20,000 or $25,000. When completed it will be an ornament to the city and will be sufficient for the needs of the municipal government for years to come. Besides a council chamber all the city officials will have offices under its roof, a court room will be fitted up, and possibly the fire department will have quarters in it. County Recorder Joseph M. B Who is Making a Winning Fight for End County Recorder Joseph M. Backs is making a winning fight for endorsement by men and women of Orange county is plain to those who are keeping in close touch with politics in the many precincts throughout the county. Mr. Backs was appointed to his office by the board of supervisors some months ago, after the resignation of Greoge E. Peters. Mr. Backs is proving his efficiency in office by his meritorious application to the details of this important position, and it is to be doubted if a more capable or hard working man ever filled this place. He is a native of Orange county, born and educated here, and is in every sense a self-made man. He is probably the most popular man who ever aspired to office from the northern portion of the county, and reports indicate that he is well in the lead in his canvass at the county seat and other outlying precincts. He has occupied a number of positions of public trust and has made good in every one of them. He was appointed deputy county clerk some months ago by W. B. Williams, and proved his efficiency and capability from the start. The many difficult duties assigned him were filled with a conscientiousness and honesty of purpose which made him friends of all those with whom he came in contact. That he will receive a solid vote in the northern end of the county, where he has been known, boy and man, for 40 years, is indisputable, and that he will run ahead of his ticket in every precinct of the county is also a matter admitting of no doubt. During the few months in which he has filled the position of county recorder he has shown that he is the best man who ever filled that office. It has not been necessary for men and women having business dealings with that office to wait several weeks before their papers are filed for record by him. He is right on the a sure winner in recorder at the prosecution for standby support aside from fitness for the officer, and his title to product of Anaheim grew to manhood here, and developed have made him trample on Anaheim over, the only country ever had in the county voters here will end on the job. Anaheim him and give him majority on the 25th. Let it not be said that the people of this city young men, who were here, and who is there, and who is honest, shall not did endorsement against gust; not only here but outlying precincts, third supervisor discharged which he has been cited, boy and many years. We do not deny zens shall make no sectional issue, and win in every precinct. But an energetic hussar is being made and it is no more than for Mr. Backs a correct tie support on the women who have childhood. Certainly of his home people case. Such endorsement indicate to other seedy that his neighborhood Superintendent Sackett also reported that the street sweeping department was doing excellent work under the management of Fred Klinger with the borrowed horses of Mayor Cook. Klinger was placed on the job when Peckstein threw it up and will probably be retained. The superintendent was also instructed to purchase a suitable team of horses for use on the sweeper. Draft of a deed for a strip of land on East Broadway now included in that thoroughfare, was received by City Attorney Ames. The strip is 34x250 feet and the Santa Fe officials agree to deed it to the city free of cost, but stipulated that the trustees should pay the expenses incurred in putting in extra tracks or culverts should it ever be deemed necessary. Mr. Ames was instructed to eliminate that clause and return the draft to the railroad officials. If they refuse to modify the deed in accordance with this elimination the city will take possession of the ground anyway. This strip was voluntarily given up to the city six years ago and has been a portion of the street ever since but no deed was ever given the city. City Clerk Merritt announced that the board of equalization would meet on Monday, August 10. The city attorney stated that the Title Company of Santa Ana wanted the ordinance changing the names of certain streets in Anaheim, which was adopted more than a year ago, placed on record at the court house for convenience in locating present names. On motion of Schneider it was so ordered. The report of the library board submitted to the council shows receipts during the year of $2,056.19, expenditures $1,458.50, leaving a balance on hand of $577.64. A deed was received from G. W. Hamler and wife granting right of way for a pipe line on his property. Mr. Hamler wrote from Sheboygan, Wis., and stated that he had not yet set a date for his return. BRÖKE HIS NECK While George Connell of Santa Ana, was fishing off the end of the Newport Beach pier Saturday morning at 5 o'clock, he fell into the water and was killed. When he was pulled out of the water with a grabhook, ten minutes later, it was found that he had died from a broken neck. It is believed that in falling he struck an old submerged pile. Connell leaves a widow. When a boy of 12 years a prairie schooner train in which he was traveling was attacked by Indians and every one in it was killed except Connell. He was scalped and left for dead.

ANAHEIM GAZETTE RECORDER AWINNER CONGRESSMAN KNOWLAND GIVEN RECEPTION Los Angeles, July 23.—Congressman and Mrs. Joseph R. Knowland were the recipients of a hearty reception in the assembly room of the Hotel Alexandra, Thursday afternoon by the Southern California Women's Republican Federation, which a week ago unanimously endorsed the candidacy of Congressman Knowland for the republican nomination for United States senator. The wives and daughters of the Los Angeles Shriners who made the trip to Atlanta last May, and were entertained by the Knowlands while in Washington, were among those present and renewed acquaintance with their host and hostess while in the nation's capital. Reminiscent of the efforts he made toward furthering the project, the desk from whence Congressman Knowland spoke was decorated with a huge floral bell, a replica of the bells along El Camino Real. During his days in the legislature, Mr. Knowland gave much aid to the furtherance of the El Camino Real movement, which was originated by Mrs. A. S. C. Forbes. On the plate beneath the bell, whereon in the practical ones appears the names of towns and directions to travelers, worked in flowers was "Our Candidate." In the course of his remarks, Congressman Knowland said: "In these days of campaigning I have found that nearly every candidate is ready and willing to tell the ladies how much he has done for women's suffrage. I too, can tell you of what I have done for women's suffrage in this state, and my words will be borne out by the records of the state legislature of twelve years ago." Congressman Knowland was warmly applauded in the course of his speech, and at its close, received congratulations from many of the women of the federation, which numbers in its list, members from nineteen of the principal cities of Southern California.

WE SELL Monarch Window Screens Fighting for Endorsement by Women of Orange County a sure winner in the race for county recorder at the primary election. He has a knack of winning the confidence of all with whom he rubs elbows, also of always retaining it. Here in Anaheim we have another incentive for standing together in his support aside from his capability and fitness for the office of county recorder, and his title to re-election. He is a product of Anaheim, was born here, grew to manhood here, was educated here, and developed the qualities which have made him trustworthy and efficient on Anaheim soil. He is, moreover, the only county official this city ever had in the court house, and the voters here will endeavor to keep him on the job. Anaheim will line up for him and give him an overwhelming majority on the 25th of August. Let it not be said to the discredit of the people of this city that one of its young men, who was born and raised here, and who is the only man from this city who ever held a county office in the quarter of a century of its existence, and who is deserving, capable and honest, shall not receive a splendid endorsement at the polls in August; not only here in this city and its outlying precincts, but throughout the third supervisor district as well, with which he has been so intimately associated, boy and man, for nearly 40 years. We do not desire that our citizens shall make of his candidacy a sectional issue, and we believe he will win in every precinct of the county. But an energetic house-to-house canvass is being made by his opponent, and it is no more than fair to expect for Mr. Backs a cordial and enthusiastic support on the part of men and women who have known him since childhood. Certainly an endorsement of his home people is desirable in his case. Such endorsement will serve to indicate to other sections of the country that his neighbors and friends can tell you of what I have done for women's suffrage in this state, and my words will be borne out by the records of the state legislature of twelve years ago." Congressman Knowland was warmly applauded in the course of his speech, and at its close, received congratulations from many of the women of the federation, which numbers in its list, members from nineteen of the principal cities of Southern California. Mrs. Joseph R. Knowland received a hearty welcome when she spoke. In clever sentences, she told of her campaign efforts and of the sincere manner in which she has been alding the fight her husband is making for the republican nomination for senator. BUMPER CROPS The rice crop around Griddley, in the San Joaquin Valley, will make 883,000 sacks this year, or more than a thousand carloads, from 26,100 acres. Around Stockton, 3,000 acres are now being planted to celery, which will be harvested about Thanksgiving time, and should turn out 2,000 carloads. The Watsonville apple crop will begin to crowd the market about September 1, and is estimated to run to about 3,000 cars. In the Salt River Valley of Arizona there are now growing 4,000 acres of long-staple cotton and 2,700 acres of short-staple. The growers estimate their crop at 5,025 bales. The sugar factories of California are now in the midst of a campaign, harvesting an immense crop of sugar beets rich in saccharine.
