MANY PROTEST AGAINST THE DISTRIGT SUPERVISORS POSTPONE ACTION ON YORBAITES' PETITION FOR PROTECTION FROM OVER-FLOW PROTEST FILED AGAINST FORMATION OF DISTRICT WHICH WILL PROBABLY DEFEAT IT Opposition to the establishment of a protection district to confine the waters of the Santa Ana river to its natural channel and prevent its breaking through its banks and inundating the country from Yorba westward developed to such an extent at the hearing before the supervisors. Tuesday that body threw up its hands and declared an armlistice for a month. The matter was postponed until Tuesday, September 15, in order to give the board an opportunity to consider the names of the protestants and verify their authority to sign such a remonstrance. There was much lurid language used between the advocates and opponents erratic movements of the river, and Chairman Talbert found it necessary to use the gavel and remind them that quarrels were not pertinent to the matter in hand. B. F. Porter made a vigorous speech in opposition. His talk was effective inasmuch as he made the statement that he had lived here since 1870, and had never known an inundation in that section from the river. There had been overflows or damage from water but it did not come from the Santa Ana river. There never was any water from the river, he declared, that damaged anybody in that proposed district. After hearing the various arguments the supervisors voted to take up the matter on the 15th of September. The signatures of the remonstrators will be compared with the tax roll, and if they comprise 51 per cent of the property owners in the territory the petition for a protection district will be denied.

LITTLE JOE MONEY IS IN EVIDENCE Two Santa Ana Sports Offer a Wager, But Withdrew Their Dinero A former Santa Ana city trustee, who makes the proud boast that he never turned his back on a life sized toddy in his life, and a county seat cigar dealer, of whom it is said that he can toss a gin flizz across his manly chest with more grace than any man in the county, were in town the other evening and spent some time at a well known cafe, during which they entered into a discussion about the contest for county recorder. They were both against Little Joe Backs, and to the impartial observer appeared to be campaigning for Little Joe's opponent. Producing a $10 gold piece, which he threw upon the bar, one of them said he would bet that amount that Little Joe would not carry this city at next Tuesday's primaries. Instantly a half dozen gold pieces flashed to cover the amount, when the Santa Ana man drew down his dinero. After recovering from his surprise he said he would bet $10/Little Joe would not carry the third supervisor district. By this time every man in the cafe was jering gold to bet on Little Joe carrying this city, the third supervisor's district, or any district in the county, or the county as a whole. The two Santa Ana sports later withdrew, declining to place any money on the contest. Friends of Little Joe in this city and in Fullerton declare if there is any money in the county to place against his carrying this city, this supervisor district or any supervisor district, or the county, the same will be covered on application at a moment's notice. These Santa Ana sports know where this money can be found, and if they desire to wager a little dinero on the contest they will be called upon at any time or place to suit their convenience. MRS.

S. B. Lawrie took issue with Mr. Halliday. He said he owned property near the Anaheim's sugar factory and during the three years he held it there had been no menace from the river's overflow. There had been water in the sand wash but it did not come from the river. The last occasion recorded of an overflow, he said, was in 1888. Anyway, he argued, the proposed district was too small, as a few property owners were expected to pay for protection of a large tract below. C. N. Allen of Fullerton, chimed in and voiced his sentiments against the movement. Fullerton has always been opposed to the formation of a protection district by an almost unanimous vote, and Mr. Allen's chief objection was that the inauguration of a district would mean the organization of a quasi-corporation which would be liable for damages in case any occurred by reason of overflow. Moreover with this hanging over it property within the district could not be sold as no man wanted to purchase a possible law suit. J. S. Stockwell made a vigorous argument in favor of the district. He said that 600 feet of protection had already been built at a cost of $600, and it would cost not more than $3000 to build the necessary dykes and wing-dams from the Santa Ana canyon to the Santa Fe bridge, a distance of one mile. There was always danger he said, that the river would change its course and again flow down its ancient channel, the sandwash. Mr. Stockwell and Mr. Lawrie grew extremely heated in a dispute over past future by occurrences of the past few years, and that conditions that prevailed along the San Gabriel recently might be repeated here. He favored the formation of the district as a safeguard against all possible danger in the future. MRS. HERBERT DYER MOVES TO FOLSOM Urged by Relatives to Cease Relations With Convict Husband, Declares She will Stick to Him Mrs. Herbert A. Dyer, who has been a resident of this city since the incarceration of her husband in the county jail some months ago on a felony charge preferred against him by his step-daughter, Heater Butter, left last week for Folsom, where she will take up her residence. Dyer was sentenced to 25 years imprisonment, and may secure his release, by good behavior, in 15 years. Mrs. Dyer's relatives have asked her to cease further relations with her husband, but she declares that she will strick to him to the end. Dyer came here some four years ago from Lang Beach, and at the time of his arrest had amassed considerable property, much of which was purchased by money contributed by his wife, to whom he was married shortly before coming here. One of his ranches southeast of town, was sold under the sheriff's foreclosure for a debt of more than $10,000, half of which was his forfeited ball bond in amount of $5,000 which his bondsman, W. P. Webb and Frank Machleb paid into the county treasury when he skipped to Canada. Another ranch northeast of town is now under foreclosure, and will probably be lost. When Dyer was released on $5000 ball and went to Canada his whereabouts were disclosed by his wife following him. His presence at California was disclosed by directions upon her baggage. She went as far as Salt Lake and returned to this city. Dyer's arrest by Canadian officials followed a few days later. India, according to one of the most wicked in the world.

AND MRS. HARTUNG TELL MORE OF THEIR EXPERIENCES IN FAR CORNERS OF THE EARTH ESCAPED BEING MAROONED IN GERMANY BECAUSE OF MRS. HARTUNG'S HOMESICKNESS Interesting are the stories related by Mr. and Mrs. John Hartung of their varied experiences during the tour around the world, which ended on Friday, August 14. Most of the sights of historical interest and many of the wonders of the world were viewed. All the incidents of the trip, however were not of a pleasurable nature, as they encountered dangers, risks and discomforts in many places. This was especially true when they rubbed elbows with lopers on ship board, played tag with the plague in India and took an even chance with death in the cholera-infested districts. "But," said Mrs. Hartung, "one does not contend that it is a mere accident." the discharge of a small canon. They spent a month in India, traveling 4500 miles in that interesting land. They were fortunate enough to secure an intelligent guide at Calcutta who was with them through the entire journey. Egypt was also a land of extreme interest because of its historical association. They stopped but a few days on the sun-baked coast of Arabia, and after passing through the Suez canal landed in Egypt. It was here they had their experience in camel riding. On the banks of the Nile they were shown the site of the palace of Ramesa, the Pahroah of Bible days, the same which was assaulted by Moses and Aaron with ten plagues for weapons. The birthplace of Moses was also pointed out, and the exact spot where Pharoh's daughter found him in the bull rushes and rescued him from the waters of the Nile is shown by enterprising guides. Here, under the shadow of the Pyramids, they were told by a guide how those mighty monuments were built. The great stones weighing several tons each, were put in place by human hands without the aid of machinery. They were brought from distant quarries and the only way to handle them was by rolling. When the first row of stones was laid sand was heaped up to a level with its top and the second layer rolled up. More sand was heaped up and the rolling process continued when the last stone had been placed on the apex the Pyramid pre- MODERN HOTEL SOON TO BE ERECTED LIVERY STABLE ON WEST CENTER TO BE REPLACED BY THREE-STORY BUILDING OLD EYESORE BEING DEMOLISHED AND SPLENDID STRUCTURE TO TAKE ITS PLACE Another step toward the widening and improvement of West Center street has been taken this week, and it is the most important stride that could possibly be made. It removes from this important business district an old eyesore and a long-recognized nuisance. It replaces it with a substantial three-story brick structure, and it gives to Anaheim a well equipped, modern hotel. The livery stable which has for many years been an eyesore and a stench in the nostrils of the business men of that section of the town is being dismantled annuously, and on its site will rise a three story hotel.

This was especially true when they rubbed elbows with lepers on ship board, played tag with the plague in India and took an even chance with death in the cholera-infested districts. "But," said Mrs. Hartung, "one does not consider the dangers of contagion when he is sight-seeing. We accepted these things as a matter-of-course, and only realized the risk after we had passed beyond the danger zone." They rode on elephants in India and ambled over the sands of Egypt on camel back. Mrs. Hartung is not particularly impressed with camelback riding, especially on the single humped species, as it requires experience to keep one's seat with ease. The double humped dromedary is much easier to ride, and there is not so much sea-sickness in its motion. In Japan, their first stop, they found winter. Photographs, which they brought home, show them wading in snow almost knee deep, which is a novelty to a Californian. There are no chimneys in Japan, cause greatly roaring fires for heating purposes are unknown. The natives keep pace with the varying temperature by donning or doffing extra clothing. Primitive methods of labor are still in existence. The treadmill, for instance, where men were drawing water by treading the wheel, was a curious object to the visitors. At Singapore, the great English port at the southern extremity of the Malay penninsula, they boarded a vessel for Penang, in Burmah. After leaving port they discovered that thirteen lepers were on board, being sent to the leper colony near Penang. They were guarded in the hold of the vessel, but curiously impelling Mr. Hartung and others to take a peep at them they discovered that the guards were asleep and the afflicted men were at liberty to wander over the vessel if they felt inclined. At Penang they were loaded in boats and sent to the leper colony, which is a small island, isolated from all mankind. Some of the unfortunates had lost their feet and had to be carried, others had a hand rotted off, but all were cheerful and even appeared happy because they were going to be provided for during the remainder of their days.

Some of the unfortunates had lost their feet and had to be carried, others had a hand rotted off, but all were cheerful and even appeared happy because they were going to be provided for during the remainder of their days. Ample provisions are dumped out at the landing place, but none but lepers are permitted on the island. The less feeble ones look after the helpless and bury them when they die. India, according to Mr. Hartung, is one of the most wonderful countries in the world. He was much impressed because he found it so different from his expectations. It is a land of magnificence and equator. Pictures taken at Jaripur show Mr. and Mrs. Hartung perched on the back of one of the talest elephants in India. It was one of the Rajall's favorite animals. There were four persons in the howdah. They were enjoying an excursion through the suburbs of Jalpur. Elephant riding is much more pleasant than camel riding, according to the travelers. At Benares they visited the wonderful monkey temple, an ancient building which has been taken possession of by the simians. 500 monkeys inhabit it now, and on the approach of a traveler they flock about beseech him for something to eat. Here also they witnessed the cremation of the dead. On one occasion when they followed the body to witness the rite the ceremony was delayed because the friends could not purchase the necessary wood. Mr. Hartung purchased the fuel—cost 64 cents—and the corpse was duly cremated. The heads during the process of cremation, always explode with a pop like A special journey was made to Pisa to see the world's famous leaning tower. The only way to reach the top of this remarkable building is by stairway inside the structure, and its floor gives one the impression that it is waving up and down. All parties who climb the stairway reach the top dizzy-headed and are obliged to recover before viewing the beautiful panoramic scenery below. Mr. and Mrs. Hartung were at the seat of his ancestors in the Hartz mountaining when the news of the assassination of Archduke Ferdinand electrified all Europe. It caused intense excitement, but no one hinted that the present stupendous war would result from it. Either homesickness or a premonition of the coming trouble on the part of Mrs. Hartung caused them to leave for home earlier than they had planned, consequently they barely escaped being caught by the unparalleled swift action of the Kalser's government and bottled up in the war zone. When the Kronprinzessin Cecelle touched at Southhampton, Mr. Hartung saw the Kalser Wilhelm, a sister ship, in dock undergoing repairs after being rammed by a freighter in the English channel. The hole in her hull, said he, was large enough to pass a small cottage through and the fact that she floated after the collision is a splendid testimonial to the marvelous methods of modern shipbuilding. Many interesting sights were seen in Palestine and old Judea, the cradle of Christianity, and Mr. Hartung brought home a number of bottles of water from the river Jordan. When dipped from the river, he said, it resembled ditch water after a heavy rainfall, but after boiling it, straining it and draining it from the sediment, it resembles sparkling Southern California water. The construction of this building is of vast importance to that section of the city. It removes a nuisance which has for years lent to that block a shabby and out-of-date appearance, it gives to Anaheim a much-needed, modern and well equipped hotel, and it will hasten action in the widening of this street. Furthermore it will perhaps stimulate other property owners in the direction of demolishing their obsolete structures and building anew, and thus maintain a foothold in the busy section of this growing town. SALT LAKE ROAD PURCHASING GROUND Will Build Through Orange County Within a Year It is now believed that the Salt Lake Road will build through Orange county taking in La Habra, Fullerton, Anahelm and Santa Ana, within a year. Representatives of the road were through the county, making observations and purchasing right of way the past two weeks, and are well pleased with the situation. "I never dreamed of there being such a rich and fertile section as comprises this part of Orange county, and I certainly will reprimand the officials."

Mrs. J. of the property, is and the movement, of my company in Los Angeles for not apprising me of the splendid territory here. I have never seen anything to equal it." Thus did T. C. Peck, general passenger agent of the company, express himself Saturday at the conclusion of an automobile drive in this vicinity. H. O. Wilson, vice-president of the Union Pacific of New York, also expressed himself in a similar strain. The gentdemen were members of a party of Salt Lake officials who made a tour by automobile over this section, getting a line on future operations of the company in building through here to San Diego. Others of the party were F. A. Warren, general manager; Frank Adams, general western agent, and J. J. Tavis, Santa Ana agent for the company. There is no doubt as to the intentions of the company to build its line from Los Angeles to San Diego via this city. The route will probably be by way of Escondido, which will open up a fine productive territory and give the valleys of that section a train service that they have long been clamoring for, but have not received at the hands of the Santa Fe, which has a branch running in from Oceanside to Escondido. Right of way matters are now in the hands of competent parties, who have been working quietly in buying property in places through which the extension will run. Mr. Peck has been located in Los Angeles for many years, but as his end of the game is chiefly looking after passenger business, he had never before taken a drive out into the country districts of Orange county. And his reference to a reprimand had to do with the officials having charge of the freight matters of the company, who frequently been over the county. The party of officials traversed the AN EFFICIENT AND CONSCIENCIOUS OFFICIAL REFUSES TO SHIRK PUBLIC BUSINESS TO FURTHER HIS OWN INTERESTS W. B. WILLIAMS SHOULD BE RETURNED TO CLERK'S OFFICE BY UNANIMOUS VOTE Opposition to County Clerk Williams' reelection is so insignificant that it scarcely deserves mention, but as Mr. Williams has been overwhelmed with the duties of his office and unable to give his personal attention to a canvass of the county it is the duty of his friends throughout the various precincts to see that his interests do not suffer. Other candidates are circulating among the people, renewing old acquaintances and forming new ones, but Williams refuses to desert his post, preferring to give his personal attention to the important duties of preparing the great register and the ballots for the coming election. He also has one, of the most efficient corps of assistants in the county in blissful work here. Right of way matters are now in the hands of competent parties, who have been working quietly in buying property in places through which the extension will run. Mr. Peck has been located in Los Angeles for many years, but as his end of the game is chiefly looking after passenger business, he had never before taken a drive out into the country districts of Orange county. And his reference to a reprimand had to do with the officials having charge of the treight matters of the company, who have frequently been over the county. The party of officials traversed the proposed route from Los Angeles, coming out over Pico street to Whittler, through La Habra valley, Fullerton, Anaheim and Santa Ana, going across the San Joquin ranch as far as El Toro. A swing was made around through the orchards of the San Joquin Fruit company, the Irvine home ranch property and the Red Hill and Lemon Heights sections, and it was the beauty productive and thrifty appearances of the ranches and homes that opened the eyes of the railroad officials to the vast resources of the county. They observed the county from the Skyline drive, one of the most picturesque drives in Southern California and which is destined to bring much noterley to Orange county. Whether the company has any hope of getting its extension into San Diego in time for the rush for the San Diego exposition next year, is not known. Only the officials themselves know how far the necessary preliminary work has progressed, and this information they are keeping to themselves. The actual roadbuilding could probably be rushed through in a hurry, but time will be required in getting the rights of way, unless that has already been taken care of to a point where it could be closed up in a short time. The railway party went to San Diego where it is presumed they are making further investigation and looking over the most available route. WILLIAMS FOR COUNTY CLERK Vote for W. B. Williams for county Clerk. He has been unable to leave his office during this entire campaign, having been kept at work night and day, Sundays included, by the tremendous amount of work heaped upon him. While other candidates have been out campaigning for months, he has been unable to leave his office. An incompetent man in his place would be a public calamity. Vote for Williams and retain in office the most efficient county clerk ever in the employ of the county. RECEIPTS FROM FORESTS Between July 1, 1913 and June 30, 1914, receipts from the National Forests in California amounted to $261,456. In this section of the county the vote will be practically unanimous for him next Tuesday. Such opposition as he has had has only served to in- been out campaigning for months, he has been unable to leave his office. An incompetent man in his place would be a public calamity. Vote for Williams and retain in office the most efficient county clerk ever in the employ of the county. RECEIPTS FROM FORESTS Between July 1, 1913 and June 30, 1914, receipts from the National Forests in California amounted to $261,415.44. As compared with the previous year, grazing and special uses show an increase, while the timber and water-power industries show a slight falling off. Thirty-five per cent of the receipts from the sale of National Forest resources is available in California. Of this, twenty-five percent is paid into the State Treasury, to the credit of the counties in which national forests are located, for the benefit of the school fund. The remaining ten per cent is expended by the Government on public roads in the forest regions. The road fund will amount to $261,415.44 and the school fund will receive $65,353.86. Expenditures, the chef item of which is for protection, are largely in excess of receipts. TOWN TO CELEBRATE Garden Grove will hold a barbecue and celebration on August 22. This is the first town in the county to pave its streets full width without a tax levy or assessment of any sort. The property owners all agreed to the plan and each paid part of the cost. The business part of town is paved. The Pacific Electric Railway has completed its double track line to Los Angeles and Santa Ana from this point. A new walnut packinghouse is going up. These strides forward will be celebrated. There will be a big feed and a unique programme. Candidates for office at the primary election will be present and engage in original stunts. Good music is assured. There is to be a baseball game between Orange and Garden Grove and other games and amusements. Japanese firewoorks will be exhibited. RUNAWAY ARRESTED A telegram has been received stating that A. B. Maguire, who disappeared from Fullerton several weeks ago, has been located at Watsonville, and is being held by the police.
