CONTRACT LET FOR GARBAGE HAULING EYRAUD BROTHERS OF SAN JOAQUIN RANCH, WILL TAKE CARE OF GARBAGE TRUSTEES WRESTLE WITH COMPENSATION INSURANCE, BUT FINALLY PASS IT UP Before many days the garbage man will be in our midst and will make regular visits to every residence and business house in the city, and the trustees expect that every man will do his duty and assist in keeping Anaheim clean and free from filth and disease-breeding matter. Eyraud brothers, who have a lease on the San Joaquin ranch, submitted a proposition to the trustees Friday night which was accepted and City Attorney Ames will prepare a contract, also draft an ordinance covering all the points, which will be introduced at the next meeting. The Eyrauds agree to haul away all the garbage free of cost, gathering it up in the business section every morning and in the residence districts twice a week. Householders must furnish their own cans. The ordinance will specify the kind and give all particulars. The trustees hoped to reap a profit out of the garbage but were content to let it go on an even break without cost to the city. A meeting between the Mesas. Eyraud and the public improvements committee will be held at the office of City board Mr. Lavin said that body was anxious to sign the 166 frontage but had no available cash to pay the assessment. To pay it out of the limited income of the library would cripple the institution financially for some time, consequently if the trustees would pay the assessment the board would gladly sign the library's frontage. Chairman Cook informed the committee that, although no official action had been taken the trustees had already agreed to pay the assessment. Another ornamental light proposition was sprung in a letter from Judge Frank Shanley. He agreed to erect at his own cost, six lamp posts fronting his extensive property on South Lemon street, provided the city would furnish the electricity free of cost. The posts are the same as those to be erected in the center of town, but they are topped by a single globe instead of a cluster. The board accepted the proposition with alacrity and advised the Judge that the juice was ready whenever the lamps were. The City Clerk submitted a statement showing that it was necessary to transfer or loan from the general fund various sums to the library and several improvement funds. The aggregate was $14,400. He was instructed to make the necessary transfers. Ralph McFadden, superintendent of the Anaheim Union Water company, addressed the board relative to the road oil being furnished the city by his company under a recent contract. Two cars had been received by the city which, he said, did not fill the requirements under the contract which specifies that the oil shall be 75 per cent gravity. Another car is on the way which, he claims, is a much better grade. The board will take no action until the next car is received and tested. discriminating valorem on goods not brought in calls attention of our trade and a large pool we are particu­tial that this war to secure.

The trustees hoped to reap a profit out of the garbage but were content to let it go on an even break without cost to the city. A meeting between the Mesars, Eyraud and the public improvements committee will be held at the office of City Attorney Ames where an agreement will be entered into. Ordinance No. 281 was introduced and passed up for second reading. It regulates the display of fruit, vegetables, grain and all foodstuffs on the sidewalk, and decrees that all such articles shall be raised at least eighteen inches from the ground and shall occupy but eighteen inches of the sidewalk. Also that all such stuff shall be covered to protect it from files, etc. Ordinance No. 282, fixing a standard of weights and measures and providing penalties for violation thereof, was also introduced and will be passed at the next meeting. It provides that raspberry and logan berry boxes shall each contain half a pound and that all other berry boxes must hold three-fourths of a pound. That a cord of wood shall be a full cord, and that wood shall be sold only in cords or fractions thereof. The penalty for violation of ordinance No. 281 is fixed at a maximum fine of $100 or 50 days in jail. For violation of No. 282 the offender may be fined $50 or imprisoned 25 days. Whether or not the city shall protect itself by insuring its employees is a question that is worrying the trustees. For an hour they discussed the matter pro and con and finally laid it over for further consideration. The city's payroll aggregates a little over $23,000 per year and including the firemen it will cost $921 to insure the municipal employees for one year. This is a pretty big sum to expend in a lump without seeing some return for it, and the board is considering whether or not it would be wiser to save the money and take chances. Insurance could be secured through private companies at a much cheaper rate but the law specifies that only private companies can be appealed to after the state has turned the application down. As the state fixes its own rate and gives the city making application no option in the matter it the Anaheim Union Water company, addressed the board relative to the road oil being furnished the city by his company under a recent contract. Two care had been received by the city which, he said, did not fill the requirements under the contract which specifies that the oil shall be 75 per cent gravity. Another car is on the way which, he claims, is a much better grade. The board will take no action until the next car is received and tested. George Bauer submitted a letter which was read by the clerk and placed on file. He had read in the Gazette, he said, the action of the board of health in declaring that the sidewalk should be cleared of merchandise that obstructed the pathway, and he heartily endorsed the move. It was bad enough, he declared, to dodge the numerous poles on the walk while trying to get through congested streets without being subjected to the danger of stumbling over boxes, etc. Building permits were petitioned for and granted to the following: To L. Nemetz, addition to frame building on Olive street. Cost $30. To C. A. Baxter, frame residence on Palm street. Cost $1275. To Phil Stephauer, frame residence on Bush street. Cost $1000. To Leopold Marle, addition to frame building on Emily street. Cost $75. To B. Hartfield, alteration on brick building on West Center street. A statement was presented by E. D. S. Pope, administrator of the estate of the late Judge John D. Pope, for services rendered during the sewer controversy with the city of Stanton. The bill for two consultations and a written opinion, amounted to $130. It was allowed and the clerk instructed to draw a warrant. Trustee Stark reported that a street light was needed on Chartres street in the heart of Chinatown, and the same was ordered erected. GOVERNMENT LANDS ARE BEING SETTLED Twenty Million Acres Entered During Past Two Years As an answer to the impression which seems to exist that all the public lands of any value have long ago been taken up, Secretary Lane, in an advance statement from his annual report calls attention to the fact that since March 4, 1913, settlers have made entry on nearly 20,000,000 acres of public lands—an area equal to that of Connecticut, Massachusetts, New York. Thanksgiving quietest days years—that is in closed and low town. Many Corona races, to the beach, or to come cities are accustomed.

This is a pretty big sum to expect in a lump without seeing some return for it, and the board is considering whether or not it would be wise to save the money and take chances. Insurance could be secured through private companies at a much cheaper rate but the law specifies that only private companies can be appealed to after the state has turned the application down. As the state fixes its own rate and gives the city making application no option in the matter it is difficult to see where the private companies are landing any business from municipalities. Few of the smaller cities have availed themselves of the law, preferring to take chances rather than be held up by this socialistic law. J. S. Rockwell, whose lease on the sewer farm expires on Dec. 31, applied for a renewal of the same for two years. Mr. Rockwell is also manager of the septic tank and his management of the farm and tank has been so satisfactory that the lease was ordered renewed in accordance with his request. A letter was received from Emil Dreyfus asking further information relative to the ornamental street lamp proposition. He understood, he said, that the property owners were to pay one dollar per front foot on the expense and the city foot the balance of the bill. The scheme, he said, was a good one and met his hearty approval. The clark was instructed to write Mr. Dreyfus full particulars of the matter. Mr. Cusick, contractor for the ornamental light system, addressed the board to the effect that the proposal had advanced to such a point that work could be ordered at once. Only three or four property owners had not signed but all had agreed to sign the contract and would do so as soon as they could be seen. Messrs. Hand, Lavin and Sheridan, of the library board were present and stated their position on the matter. Speaking for GOVERNMENT LANDS ARE BEING SETTLED Twenty Million Acres Entered During Past Two Years As an answer to the impression which seems to exist that all the public lands of any value have long ago been taken up, Secretary Lane, in an advance statement from his annual report calls attention to the fact that since March 4, 1913, settlers have made entry on nearly 20,000,000 acres of public lands—an area equal to that of Connecticut, Massachusetts, New Hampshire, and New Jersey combined. During the same period practically as much more coal and other mineral land of the west has been examined in detail in 40-acre tracts by the Geological Survey, and most of it has been thrown open to settlement or purchase. Some of these lands, such as those which include workable deposits of phosphate or oil, are still withdrawn pending suitable legislation for their disposal or use. Another important activity in public land classification to which the Secretary calls attention is the designation of lands for entry as enlarged or 320-acre homesteads. Designations under this law approved by him cover 33,453,056 acres. The extract from the Secretary's report contains a series of maps of twelve public lands states showing in graphic form (1) the areas withdrawn from entry in these states between March, 1913 and July 1914 (2) the areas restored to entry, (3) the designs under the enlarged homestead law, and (4) land taken up by settlers. Thus for example, the map of Montana shows the total area for the state, 98,000,000 acres; lands withdrawn from entry, 67,471 acres; lands restored to entry after examination, 3,171,658 acres; lands designated under the enlarged homestead law, 11,022,845 acres; and lands entered by settlers, 7,417,291 acres. The other states in which public land activities have been large and which are discussed by the Secretary are Utah, Wyoming, Colorado, New Mexico, Idaho, Washington, Oregon, North Dakota, Arizona, California, and Nevada. HOBSON FOR PROTECTION Capt. Richmond P. Hobson, Congressman from Alabama, although a democrat is in favor of imposing a ANAHEIM GAZETTE discriminating duty of 2 per cent ad valorem on goods on the free list when not brought in American bottoms. He calls attention to the fact that the bulk of our trade now is on the free list, and a large portion of that comes from Central and South America, trade that we are particularly looking to now and that this war gives us an opportunity to secure. He says: "A 2 per cent ad valorem duty would not seriously affect the prevailing costs of those commodities in the United States, and the disturbance would gradually decline as the object of the bill is attained and goods are brought in American bottoms, be cause the duty then automatically disappears. The duty where imposed would, of course, increase the revenues an object now much needed. Let me point out that this 2 per cent duty on free goods would balance the present provision under which a 5 per cent discriminating duty or discount is allowed on goods brought in American bottoms, the 5 per cent of the rates being equivalent to about 2 per cent ad valorem. It would thus make our present law symmetrical and encourage shipping in the South American and Pacific trade." MANY ANAHEIMERS SEE CORONA RACE Continuous Streams of Autos Pour Through This City Thursday Evening Thanksgiving day was one of the quietest days seen in Anaheim for years—that is during the middle half of the day. Business houses were all closed and half the population left town. Many of them went to see the Corona races, many others went down to the beach, or to the county park, or to come canyon where picnic parties are accustomed to assemble.

And the next summer session, from June 21 to July 31 coming, as it does during the Panama Pacific Exposition, is expected to break all its past records and carroll many thousands of students from all parts of the continent. NEW BEET CONTRACTS In the new contracts to be offered sugar beet growers by all of the five factories of Orange county, a clause is inserted that seems almost certain to give the growers 50 cents more per ton for their beets than they received this year. The plan is called profit sharing, in that, if the price of sugar is a fair price, the grower will get more for his crop than if sugar is down. The rice to be paid for beets is the same as last year, with one important exception; the growers will receive a bonus of 50 cents a ton if the average net selling price of beet sugar received by the beet sugar factories of Southern California shall equal or exceed 4½ cents a pound during the period between July 1, 1915, and May 1, 1916, the payment of the bonus to be made on or before July 1, BUSINESS CARDS J.

J.C.Osher,D.D.S.,M.D. Thanksgiving day was one of the quietest days seen in Anaheim for years—that is during the middle half of the day. Business houses were all closed and half the population left town. Many of them went to see the Corona races, many others went down to the beach, or to the county park, or to come canyon where picnic parties are accustomed to assemble. Anaheim was the pivotal point for a vast horde of people going to the Corona races. El Camino Real was one of the roads mapped out for autolists as far south as Anaheim. At this point they were directed to turn east on Center street and take the road leading through the canyon. Parties from beach cities and other western points also passed here and followed the northerners into the canyon road. In the afternoon the autos began coming in on the return trip. They gradually increased in numbers until two continuous streams were pouring in, one from the east and the other from the south at six o'clock they were coming in flocks and droves, running three abreast part of the time, and at the corner of Center and Los Angeles streets there were frequent congestions and narrow escapes, but all finally passed through safely. Most of them turned north at this point. It is estimated that 20,000 machines worth twenty million dollars, were parked around Corona. LO PLEADS FOR PEACE The Pueblo Indians of New Mexico, whose chief bears the uncomplimentary title of White Man Runs, sent a delegation of thirty braves to the Mayor of New York to tell him that they "looked with horror upon the calamity in which the great nations of Europe are steeped" and to petition him to "send to the warring nations of Europe a message pleading that peace be restored." White Man Runs was evidently prehensive that his plea for peace might be answered at because earlier in life he had earned his title by scalping emigrants and helping himself to the cattle of those whose cabins he and his warriors had burned. So he forestalled criticism by remarking, "We look with shame and horror upon our acts and deeds years ago; but we were savages then. It may be a The plan is called profit sharing, in that, if the price of sugar is a fair price, the grower will get more for his crop than if sugar is down. The rice to be paid for beets is the same as last year, with one important exception; the growers will receive a bonus of 50 cents a ton if the average net selling price of beet sugar received by the best sugar factories of Southern California shall equal or exceed 4½ cents a pound during the period between July 1, 1915, and May 1, 1916, the payment of the bonus to be made on or before July 1, 1916. The factories have not yet sold their sugar output for the season just closing. When sugar was low early in the season, some of it was sold by Orange County factories for $4.10 but the later season prices received were well above $4.50. The contracts offered growers by the various factors of Southern California are all the same so far as the price is concerned. LANDMARK CLUB OF CALIFORNIA Society Formed for Preserving Places Historic Interest At a notable meeting held in the old mission grounds of San Juan Capistrano Wednesday there was formed the Grand Closet of the Landmark Club of California. It was a meeting for the purpose of re-establishing and re-organizing the work of preserving landmarks, chiefly the old Franciscan missions. In the mission ward is the statute of Father Junipero Serra, that great mission leader, best known of the padres who came to California about 140 years ago to convert the Indians. About it centered the ceremonies on Wednesday. Plans were made for the formation of 21 local cloisters to be placed wherever there is a mission in California, each bearing the name of its respective mission. The arrival from Los Angeles of the delegates who participated in the unveiling and re-organization ceremonies was the signal for a picturesque demonstration by the gay-hearted Spanish residents of one of the oldest mission towns in the state. The bells of the ancient white washed arch of the mission were clanged joyfully and all the children of the village were drawn up in solemn processions to receive the visitors, while the older men and women some of them Indians of remarkable age, crowded the mission grounds. The impressive celebration began with the chanting of hymns of glorification by a male chorus headed by priests in the full vestments of their episcopal office. The procession of children wended its way from the church to the new statute of Father Serra, followed by members of the Landmarks Club and a reverent throng of spectators with bare heads. The Rev. St. John O' White Man Runs was evidently apprehensive that his plea for peace might be sneered at because earlier in life he had earned his title by scalping emigrants and helping himself to the cattle of those whose cabins he and his warriors had burned. So he forestalled criticism by remarking, "We look with shame and horror upon our acts and deeds years ago; but we were savages then. It may be a waste of words and our desire may be drowned before it reaches its destination, but we want to make our thoughts known, and we sincerely hope that you will use your official position to transmit for us this plea for peace." If the Mayor of New York falls to use his official position to transmit to Kaiser William and King George and Czar Nicholas and President Polnarec and Emperor Franz Josef and a job lot of Balkan monarchs, the prayer for peace of White Man Runs and his braves, he will be guilty of discourse to "Lo the poor Indian whose untutored mind Sees God in trees and hears him in the wind." STATE UNIVERSITY STANDS SECOND Again this year the University of California has been proved second in size of American universities. With 8,481 students, its registration is 1215 more than it was a year ago. Once more Columbia University, New York, claims the most students, 10,961, while for California the figure is 8,481. But of the Columbia total, 5,590 are Summer Session students; of the California total, 3,179, so in full-course students Columbia and California are practically equal in number. Here is how the University of California now compares in number of students with other great American universities (according to figures for this fall just compiled by Henry T. AUTOS COLLIDE There was an automobile accident last Sunday evening, in which Mr. and Mrs. Carl Olson of Huntington Beach and their daughter and small child occupied one of the cars in the collision, and narrowly escaped serious injury. Mr. and Mrs. Olson motored to the ranch of their daughter and son-in-law Mr. and Mrs. E. Greenfield, near Newhall; Sunday and Mrs. Greenfield and her 18-months' old child were returning with them, and when about one and one-half miles west of Anahiem, on the boulevard, while Mr. Olson was driving close to the right hand side of the road, a machine in which four men were riding smashed into the front end of Mr. Olson's car. Fortunately no one was thrown from the car, but the baby, which was between its mother and grandmother, was thrown over into the front seat. One of the front wheels on Mr. Olson's car was broken and the car was otherwise damaged to the extent of about $20. The men in the other car reside in Anahiem. When Mr. Olson first noticed the car it was on the opposite side of the road, but for some unknown reason, crossed the roadway when nearing Mr. Olson's machine. F. K.

The state Highway Commission at its meeting at Sacramento decided work on the road system should be done only where the cash was available, and that no money should be advanced by the state, no matter how important links should be missing. Construction will be stopped in several districts. Perhaps the most important work affected will be that in Tulare county, the only stretch between the San Joaquin Valley and Southern California to be completed.
