We are compelled to say that it is with feelings of unfeigned regret that we chronicle the departure hence of Editor Stone of the Buena Park Gimlot, who, according to street rumor, has projected himself into the unknown whenceoness leaving behind him many of his aforetime friends and a host of mourning creditors, mixed up in an inoxtricable mass. For the latter, the situation is sufficiently severe, to be sure, for times are hard and no man feels like losing too much of the long green in these tremulous times of democratic free trade. But what shall we say of the former, who may never again experience the pleasure of meeting up with Editor Stone, may never again feel the grasp of his good right hand, nor listen to his overflow of hot air, the constant and unceasing supply of which was his distinguishing characteristic. Editor Stone has gone and those having bills against him may as well hang them up with their harps on a willow tree, for they say, he will never, never come back again. Editor Stone was one of these new fol-de-rol editors who butt into a community now that tourist rates are on from the east. He knew more about the editorial business than any old mossback newspaper man in the country, but it was as a framed Spruce. NEW ENGINEERING FEAT PROPOSED Diversion of Flood Waters of Los Angeles River Into Alamitos Bay Recommended According to the recommendations made by Major R. R. Raymond, Corps of Engineers, U. S. A., in a report filed with the War Department, division of the flood waters of the Los Angeles costal plain can be turned into Alamitos Bay and away from the harbor by throwing in an intercepting dam across the delitas of the Los Angeles and Hondo rivers at a cost with outfall canals, of approximately $1,500,000. Major Raymond is in charge of the United States engineers' office in Los Angeles. A hearing on this recommendation is scheduled for the coming week before the United States Board of Engineers, Rivers and Harbors in Washington. It will be attended by H. Hawgood, chairman, and Captain Charles T. Loeds of the County Board of Enginees, Flood Control, as well as by Senator Phelan and Congressman Stephens and Randall. Messrs Hawgood and Loeds have left for Washington. Major Raymond's recommendation is the preface to an attempt to secure both national and state aid in solving the flood problems of Los Angeles county. From the United States Board of Engineers, Rivers and Harbors, Major Raymond's recommendation will go to the chief of engineers, and from thence to the Secretary of War for incorporation as an appropriation item in either the Rivers and Harbors bill or in a separate measure. "I have urged immediate action to curb the flow of silt into the harbor," said Major Raymond. "An appropriation made for the diversion work at this time will remove the possibility..."

Editor Stone has gone and those having bills against him may as well hang them up with their harps on a willow tree, for, they say, he will never, never come back again. Editor Stone was one of these new folde-rol editors who butt into a community now that tourist rates are on from the east. He knew more about the editorial business than any old mossback newspaper man in the country, but it was as a frenzied financier that he shone with most lustrous brilliance. Finding business on the bum, he started a piano contest, and traveled all about the country northwest of town in company of the good people of the Park soliciting subscriptions at $1.50 each, and giving in return a promise of a year's subscription to his paper, and a ticket in a drawing for a piano which was said to have cost $350. He succeeded in duping a number of people, put their money in his pocket and went south at an accelerated rate of speed. The piano was awarded to an estimable young lady, and was then taken away from her by a Los Angeles music house, which had not seen the bullion Editor Stone had promised them. Editor Stone's graft is a new one on us, and while a goodly number of men and women fell for it we cannot resist expressing regret that so promising a financier should have been spoiled in the making of a bum editor. BASEBALL PARK BEING CONSTRUCTED First Game in New Enclosure Will be On Sunday, January 31 Anaheim is to have a baseball park hedged about by a barrier that will compell all who enjoy the games hereafter to help pay the expenses. A team has been organized with Charley Brandenberg, T. R. Hopkins and R. L. Lang as a board of control, with Mr. Lang as manager, also a league has been formed, with four teams at present in the ring, and a probability that others will join. The four already in are Anaheim, Redlands, Uberta Springs and Corona. A three-year lease has been secured on a 10-acre tract near the sugar factory, and a grand stand and fence will be erected immediately. The Varney & Green Sign company of Los Angeles will erect the fence for the privilege of covering it with signs but the trus- During the flood of last winter a maximum flow of 63,000 second feet of water careered downward from the Sierra Madre watershed to the ocean, carrying with it a total of 4,000,000 yards of silt for deposit on the floors of the harbor. The damage done, all told, including that to property abutting water courses, has been estimated by the County Board of Engineers for Flood Control at $7,600,000. The major share of this damage occurred in a territory roughly bounded on the north by the La Habra line of the Pacific Electric and the San Gabriel narrows and stretching thence to the ocean. Incidentally, James W. Reagan, head of the board's Committee on Flood Damage and Flooded Area, recently estimated that 93,000 tilleable acres are subject to overflow in this district, and that the assessed value of this property might be doubled by such as plan as Major Raymond has recommended to the War Department. Major Raymond's plan is to build a levee from Domingues Junction in a southeasterly direction to cross the washes of both the new and old Los Angeles and Rio Hondo rivers and so turn their waters easterly for diversion into Alamitos Bay through a series of open canals or channels. Objections to this scheme of diversion have been anticipated from owners of property contiguous to Alamitos Bay, but, as was pointed out by Mair Raymond, the beneficiaries will be the cities of Long Beach and Los Angeles with an assessed valuation of $443,000,000, or more than one-half that of the entire county. The recommendations made by Major Raymond is premised only on the actual needs in connection with the harbor. Nevertheless the County Board of Engineers, Flod Control, had figured on an appropriation of at county. From the United States Board of Engineers, Rivers and Harbors, Major Raymond's recommendation will go to the chief of engineers, and from thence to the Secretary of War for incorporation as an appropriation item in either the Rivers and Harbors bill or in a separate measure. "I have urged immediate action to curb the flow of silt into the harbor," said Major Raymond. "An appropriation made for the diversion work at this time will remove the possibility—more certainty—of an even larger expenditure later on for dredging." Carlos F.

CHRISTIAN "Say ma" said Lang as manager, also a league has been formed, with four teams at present in the ring, and a probability that others will join. The four already in are Anaheim, Redlands, Uberta Springs and Corona. A three-year lease has been secured on a 10-acre tract near the sugar factory, and a grand stand and fence will be erected immediately. The Varney & Green Sign company of Los Angeles will erect the fence for the privilege of covering it with signs but the trustees will erect the grand stand. The merchants of Anaheim have subscribed liberally to the fund. On Sunday, January 24 the teams will go to Redlands and open the new park at that place with the first game of the season. The boys will be accompanied by the Anaheim drum corps. On the following Sunday the Redlands team will come to Anaheim headed by a brass band and open the new park here. The Anaheim boys are expected to give a good account of themselves in the series of games. There are some excellent players in the aggregation and by strengthening it in two or three places it will be equal to anything of an amateur nature in the southland. According to W. K. Robinson of Trabucco, game warden until the end of this month, ashes washed into the Santiago from the burned area between the Silverado and the top of the ridges over toward the Santa Ana have killed off all trout below the Silverado. "I examined the water carefully a few days ago," said Rbolinson. "I am satisfied that no fish can live in the stream below the point where the ashes come in. Not only does the lye destroy the life of the fish, but the ashes get in their gills and choke them to death. I think it is more the ashes than the lye. There is no reason why the fishing will not be as good as usual above the burned area." The recommendations made by Major Raymond is premised only on the actual needs in connection with the harbor. Nevertheless the County Board of Engineers, Flod Control, had figured on an appropriation of at least $1,500,000 by the government as a contribution towards the entire scheme of removing the flood risk. This scheme contemplates the ultimate expenditure of $9,500,000. State aid had also been figured on, but it now appears probable that the sum handed out from Sacramento will be small. Speaking of the harbor siltage problem Major Raymond asserted that it is one that must be solved at once. He pointed out that last winter the deposit of silt at the harbor raised the floor of the turning basis from a depth of thirty-five feet to twenty feet, and dredging would probably be under way today but for the fact that dredgers were right on the ground at the time and outfall pipes all connected so that work was hastened. Consequently, it was possible to re-dredge the turning basins to a navagable depth in time to admit of the passage of the first American-Hawaiian freighter on its way to municipal plor A. With the problem of river diversion solved by Major Raymond's recommendation, it will now be possible for the County Board of Engineers to proceed on the other smaller, but equally important plans in connection with the work. The basis for Major Raymond's plans is furnished by the presence of high ground from Domingues Junction southeasterly. As he stated it, nature seemingly intended that the waters of property continuous to Ammitos Bay, but as was pointed out by Majr Raymond, the beneficiaries will be the cities of Long Beach and Los Angeles with an assessed valuation of $443,000,000, or more than one-half that-of-the entire county.

On Sept. 19, 1912 the board of supervisors ordered an election to be held throughout the county on Nov. 4, 1912, on the question of issuing bonds for a county highway system. The election proclamation contained the following paragraph among the various sections of road to be paved: "Anaheim-Olive Road—Length 3.37 miles; beginning at Center street and the easterly city limits of Anaheim; thence by the main traveled road to a connection with Riverside road at Olive." The bond issue was adopted by the voters at said election, and it is the duty of the supervisors to order the completion of all work specified in the election proclamation. Orange county for many years, through the board of supervisors, has maintained the bridge and approaches across the alleged river between Anaheim and Olive, and by the precedent established must continue to do so. It is the duty of county officials, instead of private persons, to protect property in roads and bridges dedicated to public use, outside of incorporated cities. If the board of supervisors do not proceed within a reasonable time to order the completion of paving of the Anaheim-Olive road, I am in favor of an election to recall the board members from office.

Mrs. Fred Michle, who lives on West Center street, was the victim of sneak thieves Monday night, some person or persons entering her poultry yard and carrying off twenty-five thoroughbred Rhode Island Red hens. The theft evidently believed in "gettin' a plenty while he was agitttin'" Among the lot was a fancy rooster valued at $5. At the meeting of the "Committee of Ten" held Tuesday evening, it was suggested that when the next mass meeting was held, that students of the high school be invited to attend in a body. It would be an object lesson. They would learn parliamentary rules and gain ideas as to how to conduct public meetings. Some of the committeemen looked favorably upon the procedure. LODGES BANQUET IN ROYAL STYLE Odd Fellows and Rebekahs Install New Officers and Enjoy Feast One of the most enjoyable events of the winter season was the banquet given by the Odd Fellows and Rebekahs at their spacious hall Tuesday evening. The occasion was the public installation of the newly-elected officers of both orders. These people know how to have a good time when they meet, and they always make these annual occasions something to be remembered. Two hundred and fifty people enjoyed the turkey dinner which had been provided. There was plenty of turkey and other good things to satisfy all these appetites and sufficient left over to fill up a number of hungry hobos. The Odd Fellows installed the following: Frank Machleb, Acting Past Grand. Conrad Mauerhan, N. G. W. P. Webb, V. G. C. W. Hedges, Rec. Secy. Frank Gates, Fin. Secy. O. T. Callor, Treasurer. W.

She was born at La Platte, Mo., March 25, 1895, and was married to Roy Sankey on October 25, 1911, at Loveland, Colo. The young man and his girl wife came to Anaheim three years ago and recently moved to Villa Park. She was an invalid and her health gradually failed. Her last illness covered but a few days. Besides her husband and her mother who was with her at the end, she leaves two brothers and one sister. There were no children. The funeral was held from the undertaking parlors of Backs & Terry in Anaheim at 3 p.m. Tuesday. Rev. W. H. Galbraith of the First Baptist church of Orange officiated. Burial was made in the Anaheim cemetery. PROMINENT BANKER DEAD Carlos F. Mansur, vice president of the Farmers and Merchants' National Bank, for years a prominent banker of Santa Ana, died Monday night of paralysis. For many years he was one of the best known men of the county, and for four years, 1891 to 1895, he was treasurer of the county. During three years of the Civil War he served with the Eighth Wisconsin, known as the Live Eagle Regiment. He went to San Francisco in 1867, and came to Santa Ana in 1880. He organized what was then the Orange County Savings, Loan & Trust Company, and was its cashier up to 1901. From its organization he was associated with the Farmers & Merchants' National Bank as director and vice president.

It would be an object lesson. They would learn parliamentary rules and gain ideas as to how to conduct public meetings. Some of the committeemen looked favorably upon the procedure. The stockholders of the Anaheim National Bank met Monday in annual session and elected a board of directors. The old board was re-elected without a change. They are Charles Eygabroad, V. U. Simpson, F. C. Krause, Wm. McLauchin, J. W. Duckworth, S.C. Hartranft, Marco H. Hellman, J. J. Dwyer and B. Fischer. The board of directors then elected as officers, Charles Eygabroad, president, J. W. Duckworth, vice-president and F. C. Krause, cashier. V. U. Simpson resigned from the bank and his successor will be chosen at a meeting of the board to be held in a few days. GROWERS HARVEST BIG LEMON CROP Increase of 25 Per Cent Over Last Year Seen; More Men to be Given Work With the heaviest lemon crop in the Whittler and La Habra district now being harvested and a brightening eastern market, lemon prospects in that vicinity are favorable for big returns this year. Ten cars a week are now being shipped from those districts and the output is being daily increased. Estimates place the total lemon crop this year at more than 25 per cent larger than last year. The navel orange crop, however, is slightly lighter than that of last season. Last season conditions were reversed, the lemon crop being short and the navel yield heavy. Lemons are at present leaving the Whittler Citrus association packing houset at the rate of one car a day. With the coming of the navels next week, shipments will steadily increase. There now remains over three-fifths of the lemon crop to be shipped. At present 80 men are employed in the orchards of the association and the force will probably be doubled by next week.

SOCIETY EVENT AT PASADENA Members of O.M.B Club Motor to Crown City for Enjoyable Party Mr. and Mrs.Wm.McLaughlin entertained the O.M.B club at their Pasadena home on Saturday evening. The party left Anaheim in machines about 4 o'clock arriving at their destination in time to enjoy a sumptuous dinner at 6 o'clock. After dinner whistle was played until time for the return trip which was made in something over an hour, the party reaching home about 1 o'clock. The ladies' prize a cassaroule, was won by Mrs.Sandlands, while Arthur Lewis won the men's prize, a box of handkerchiefs. Those present besides the host and hostess, were Mr. and Mrs.C.E.Holcomb, Mr. and Mrs.John Dwyer, Mr. and Mrs.Henry Adams, Mr. and Mrs.Gerald Sandilands and Mr. and Mrs.A Arthur Lewis. Rust-Proof Ironwork—A simple method of making ironwreck proof against rust is to heat it until it is almost red hot and then brush it over with linseed oil. This makes a varnish which, unlike ordinary paint or enamel, does not chip off. To Remedy Acidental Overseasoning—Try soaking a piece of stale CHRISTIAN NARRATIVE "Say ma" said Willie, 'do you know that I thing that ash man that comes and dumps our ashes every week is a real good Christian man?" "Why so?" asked his mother. "Well, yesterday he came to Mrs. Smith's house next door and picked up their wooden barrel and raised it over his head and was about to dump it in his cart when the bottom came out and the ashes fell all over him." "Oh, how terrible!" said Willie's mother, "and what did he do?" "Oh he just sat down in the gutter and told God all about it." Candled Orange Peel—Peel of three oranges, water, sugar. Cut the orange peel into strips one-eights inch wide and of as even length as possible. Put into a saucepan, cover with cold water and bring slowly to the boiling point. Add fresh water, bring to the boiling point again and repeat the process four times. Now make a sirup, using proportionately one pound of sugar to one cup of water. Placed the cook orange peel in this and simmer slowly until the sirup is almost entirely absorbed. Cool and roll the strips in granulated sugar. The same process can be employed with lemon rind or grapefruit rind. For Grease Spots—Eucalyptus oil will remove grease spots from any kind of material without injuring it. Apply a little of the oil with a clean piece of flannel and rub the material gently until the stains disappear. Lemons are at present leaving the Whittler Citrus association packing hous at the rate of one car a day. With the coming of the navels next week, shipments will steadily increase. There now remains over three-fifths of the lemon crop to be shipped. At present 80 men are employed in the orchards of the association and the force will probably be doubled by next week. Estimates place the total lemon output for the association this year at 20 cars, against 162 cars last year, raised on the 400 acres of lemons in the association. With the large lemon room built by the association three years ago, the association can store over 100 cars at one time and hold them to take advantage of the market. Twenty carloads are at present stored. Shipments are leaving La Habra association at the rate of three cars a day at present. The estimate for the total from the La Habra district this year is sixty cars. The Index Orchards, a new association in the La Habra district, will ship about 2 cars. To Freshen Lemons—When lemons are hard cover them with boiling water and stand aside to cool. They will then appear fresh and full of juice. Neither will the juice soak in the least diluted by any water absorbed. Emergency Dessert—Warm the left over biscuits in the oven, split them in two and cover with canned peaches, pineapple or any fresh or canned fruit, and you will have individual short-cakes on short notice.

Center Street Anaheim, California HICKORY NUT SNAPS This is an old family recipe, over 100 years at least, but it's good. Put a cupful and a half of sorghum into a deep saucepan together with a level tablespoonful of ginger, a pinch of salt, half a cupful of brown sugar, half a cupful of lard and a dash of red popper. Beat all together smoothly and boil until it is quite thick. Then take from the stove and when it is just warm add a cupful of hickory nut meats, finely chopped, and a heaping teaspoonful of baking soda dissolved in half a cupful of hot water. Mix in enough flour to make a very stiff dough. Roll thin, cut in pretty shapes, sprinkle with sugar and bake quickly. To clean the bean pot thoroughly put two large handfuls of washing soda in it and place in a large covered kettle. Now completely cover with water and boil for half an hour. FOR A HEADACHE If it is caused by fatigue, loosen the clothing, remove the shoes and lie down to rest or sleep in a dark, cool room. If some food difficult to digest has been eaten, drink a tumblerful of hot water in which a heaping tablespoonful of the phosphate of sodium has been dissolved; repeat this dose in one hour. If the pain in the head is from cold, soak the feet in hot mustard water (a tablespoonful of mustard in the foot bath) for ten minutes, then go to bed and place a hot-water bottle against the painful head. Take a glass of hot lemonade or a cup of hot tea; it will produce a greatful warmth and will help dispell the pain. Keeping milk Sweet—Milk will keep sweet longer in a shallow pan than in a pitcher.
