SENATOR BAUER TALKS COUNTY DIVISION SUGGESTS NEW COUNTY OF PETROLIA — SENDS BILL TO ASSEMBLYMAN BURKE TO BE FORMED OUT OF PORTIONS OF NORTHERN ORANGE AND SOUTHERN LOS ANGELES Anaheim, Jan. 25, 1915. Editor Gazette—In your issue of Jan. 14, I expressed a wish that the district attorney of Orange county, "advise the board of supervisors to proceed without further delay in the matter of completing the paving of the Anaheim Olive road." I also wrote to the district attorney requesting him to advise the supervisors to proceed with such work. I have not heard whether he did so advise the board. In your report in the Gazette of Jan. 21 of the meeting of the board of supervisors on Jan. 16, it does not show that the district attorney had anything to report in the matter, so we are left in the dark as to whether he advised the board for or against completing the paving of the Anaheim Olive road, or whether he advised the members at all. The voters of the First, Second, Fourth and Fifth supervisorial districts, being silent, do not seem to care whether the money voted in bonds of over $1,000,000 for a county paved highway system at the special election in November, 1912, is expended in total for the purpose for which they voted. This shows that four-fifths of the voters of Orange county, do not feated an all Anaheim team in three straight games, their margin being in the first game, 139; the second, 97; and the third, 160, or a total of 397 points in the three games. The high score was made by Chillie Fisher in the first game, his record being 204 points, but Pete Wisser's total for the three games was 519 and Fisher's 518. Following is the totals made by the players in the three games: EAGLES: - Wisser ... 519 - Huntington ... 464 - Lamont ... 456 - Vanatta ... 413 - Fisher ... 518 ANAHEIM: - Holgate ... 452 - Kern ... 356 - Schroff ... 445 - Magathan ... 364 - Thomas ... 356 PLACENTIA GIRL IS BURNED TO DEATH CLOTHING OF MISS MARGUERITE ALLEC IGNITES FROM SPARK FROM A WOOD FIRE FUNERAL AT SAINT BONIFACE CHURCH MONDAY MORNING ATTENDED BY SCHOOL ASSOCIATES Miss Marguerite Allec, aged 15 years, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Peter Allec of Placentia, was fatally burned WORKMEN ON LIGHT SYSTEM W.

He Expects Completed Within Least Than The Orders For One Of The Exact At The Corner Of And Center, Which The System In That The Posts Are Of Ed By Five-cluster Manufactured By Company Of St. John Are Now Ready For The voters of the First, Second, Fourth and Fifth supervisors districts, being silent, do not seem to care whether the money voted in bonds of over $1,000,000 for a county paved highway system at the special election in November, 1912, is expended in total for the purpose for which they voted. This shows that four-fifths of the voters of Orange county do not want the Anaheim Olive road completed or the new concrete bridge protected, although they could as freely use said road and bridge as the voters of the third supervisor district would do. In view of the fact that it is now apparent that antagonism exists between various parts of this county in the matter of completing the paving of the Anaheim Olive road and bridge protection, I have proposed a division of the county of Orange. On Jan. 23 I wrote to the legislative reference bureau at Sacramento requesting that a bill be drafted proposing the creation of the new county of Petrollia from the northern part of Orange county and the southern part of Los Angeles county and that Assemblyman Burke introduce it in the assembly. The southern boundary of proposed new county would be about two miles south of the center of Anaheim, and the San Gabriel river the norther boundary. The state constitution, Article XI, section 3, says in part as follows: "No new county shall be established which shall reduce any county to a population of less than 20,000 nor shall a new county be formed containing a less population than 8000; nor shall any line thereof pass within five miles of the exterior boundary of the city or town (Santa Ana) in which the county seat of any county proposed to be divided is situated. Every county proposed shall be enlarged or created from territory taken from any other county or counties shall be liable for aust proportion of the existing debts and liabilities of the county or counties from which such territory shall be taken." (Amendment adopted Nov. 8, 1916.) I believe Orange, Santa Ana, Newport, Huntington Beach, Garden Grove, Westminster and other places in Orange county south of the southern boundary of the proposed new county of Petrollia could total a population of 20,000. The new county would certain- CLOTHING OF MISS MARGUERITE ALLEC IGNITES FROM SPARK FROM A WOOD FIRE FUNERAL AT SAINT BONIFACE CHURCH MONDAY MORNING ATTENDED BY SCHOOL ASSOCIATES Miss Marguerite Allec, aged 15 years, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Peter Allec of Placentia, was fatally burned at her parent's residence in Placentia on Friday morning at half-past six o'clock. She had arisen, had made a fire in the kitchen stove, and was preparing school lunch for the children, when her twelve year old sister Delilah, who was standing near her called to her that her dress was on fire. The unfortunate girl was standing at the sink at the time, and it is presumed that a spark from the stove ignited her clothing. She immediately ran out of the house calling to her parents for help. A wind was blowing at the time, and fanned the fire into flames which instantly enveloped her. Her parents had not yet arisen, but went at once to her rescue. They were horrified to behold the little girl one mass of flames. They tore her clothing from her and extinguished the flames as speedily as possible, but she was so badly burned that death ensued at half-past one o'clock on Sunday morning. Physicians were immediately summoned, but found upon arrival that the burns sustained were so severe as to leave no doubt as to a fatal termination of the unfortunate accident. The little girl retained consciousness until late on Saturday evening, recognizing those about her and speaking freely with them. Funeral services were held at St. Boniface Catholic church at 10 o'clock Monday morning, Rev. Father Galliger of Fullerton being in charge. Many friends of the family from Placentia and elsewhere were present, and Placentia school children, schoolmates of the dead girl, attended in a body, about thirty of them being present. At the close of the services the body was followed to its last resting place in the cemetery on East Center street by a long line of sorrowing friends. The death of the little girl caused widespread gloom in and around Placentia where the unfortunate child was well known and esteemed on all sides. The posts are off-ed by five-cluster manufactured by company of St. John are now ready for a dufta and wires befficient large to cover the city limits in all it becomes necessary tem.

The new county would certainly have a population of 20,000, 12,000 more people than would be necessary under the provisions of the state constitution (8000). Anaheim, Placentia, Fullerton, Yorba, Olinda, Buena Park, Artesia, Norwalg, Whittier and other places would be in the new county of Petrolla. I believe the people of the First, Second, Fourth and Fifth supervisor districts of Orange county ought to help the northern part of the county get a "divorce" from the old county on account of incompatibility in road paving and bridge protecting matters. Los Angeles city has been advocating the creation of Greater Los Angeles and I suppose the people there would be satisfied to have the greater city limits on the southern boundary at the San Gabriel river, which as stated is proposed as the northern boundary of the new county of Petrolla. The exact lines of the boundaries of the proposed new county could be agreed upon. I have written to Senator Benedict of Los Angeles to propose the county division in the legislature to get Petrolla county on the map. GEORGE BAUER. EAGLES DEFEAT ALL-ANAHEIMERS In a contest at the Coliseum bowling alley Friday evening the Eagles decently and elsewhere were present, and Placentia school children, schoolmates of the dead girl, attended in a body, about thirty of them being present. At the close of the services the body was followed to its last resting place in the cemetery on East Center street by a long line of sorrowing friends. The death of the little girl caused widespread gloom in and around Placentia where the unfortunate child was well known and esteemed on all sides. Some years ago Mr. and Mrs. Alice lost a six-year-old son, who succumbed to lockjaw as a result of stepping on an orange thorn. LOST TO WHITTIER It is seldom that Anaheim is compelled to swallow the humiliation of defeat but the bowling team that went up to Whittier Monday night was defeated by 25 pins. The previous game with the Los Angeles suburban town was won by Anaheim by the narrow margin of 7 pins. Following is the score of Monday night's game: ANAHEIM Wisser ... 175 162 167 Schaffer ... 185 147 171 Vanatta ... 152 192 172 Fisher ... 153 189 165 Cowan ... 162 218 181 Totals ... 827 908 846 WHITTIER Graham ... 191 145 147 McElroy ... 126 192 191 Dugas ... 169 169 183 Kropp ... 157 192 174 Moran ... 194 202 174 Total ... 837 900 869 Marion Cown of Anaheim carried away the honors of the evening by having high score, 218.

HOUTS, CONTRACTOR, HAS FORCE OF MEN INSTALLING ORNAMENTAL LIGHT POSTS SIXTY-THREE CLUSTER LIGHTS WILL BE ERECTED ON CENTER AND LOS ANGELES STS. Work of installing the ornamental lighting system which was authorized by the city trustees some weeks ago is now in progress and within two months will be completed. All the posts and wires in the business section of town will be removed and nothing but the lamp posts will be permitted to encumber the sidewalks or interfere with the progress of pedestrians from Philadelphia to Clemina on Center street, and from Cypress to Broadway on Los Angeles streets. W. H. Houts secured the contract for installing the lights and began work a week ago with an ample force of men. He expects to have the job completed within less than two months from the time of beginning. Sixty-four posts will be erected, being four more than the original plans called for. One of the extras will be planted at the corner of North Philadelphia and Center, which is an extension of the system in that direction. The posts are of cast iron, surmounted by five-cluster lamps. They are manufactured by the King Foundry company of St. Joseph, Missouri, and are now ready for shipment. The among them being a deep cut on the back of his head. The flesh of the palm and fingers of the right hand is shaved off. He evidently grabbed hold of the knife thrust at him. It is supposed that when the knife was jerked away the cut was made. He is in pretty bad shape and would not now take a prize at a beauty show. Martenez is cut severely, having a gash in the back of his head. Wiser, one of the fighters, was not captured. Local officers were informed of the fighting and started to go to the scene of the fracas, when Mendes was encountered coming into town. He was bleeding profusely. He was put in jail. Presently Martinez was arrested. He was following up Mendes, asserting he wanted to kill his man. He was also placed in jail. The men had been drinking and it is supposed the bout wound up in a fight among themselves, as is usually the case. Dr. Truxaw was called and gave emergency treatment. The doctor had to take many stitches upon the heads of the combatants before they were put into anything like a presentable appearance. Mendes and Martenez received a sentence of 180 days in the county jail. ANAHEIM BALL TEAM GOING TO REDLANDS Will Charter Special Train on Feb. 7, And Take Band With Them On Sunday, February 7, the Anaheim base ball team will make another trip to Redlands and if the weather is more propitious than it was last Sunday will play the opening game of the season in the league contest. The boys are figuring on running a special train provided a sufficient number of rooters agree to go along. The round trip fare will be $1.60, but it requires 125 passengers, at that figure to pay for it. The Redlands manager asked BOARD OF TRADE SEEKING NEW MEMBERS EFFORTS WILL BE MADE TO INCREASE THE ROLL TO FIVE HUNDRED BOOSTERS ALSO WANT A SALARIED SECRETARY WHO WILL DEVOTE ENTIRE TIME TO THE JOB Efforts to increase the membership of the board of trade and make that body a more effective booster for Anaheim and its surrounding country will speedily be made. Chairman Krause is of the opinion that by a little judicious solicitation 500 new members can be added in a short time. One of the reasons for increasing the membership is that the augmented income will permit the maintenance of a salaried secretary who can devote his entire time to the work and properly answer the numerous inquiries being constantly received relative to Anaheim and its inducements. This matter was discussed at the meeting on Monday night, and after much argument it was moved by Mills that Chairman Krause, Secretary Dutton and G. L. Deitrich, chairman of the membership committee act as a committee of three to solicit new members. All the members of the board will act as solicitors, and on a day yet to be chosen a thorough canvass will be made among the people of Anaheim and adjacent ranchers. A letter was received from J. C. Metzgar, secretary of the Santa Ana Chamber of Commerce regarding the from the time of beginning. Sixty-four posts will be erected, being four more than the original plans called for. One of the extras will be planted at the corner of North Philadelphia and Center, which is an extension of the system in that direction. The posts are of cast iron, surmounted by five-cluster lamps. They are manufactured by the King Foundry company of St. Joseph, Missouri, and are now ready for shipment. The conduits and wires being planted are sufficiently large to carry the lights to the city limits in all directions in case it becomes necessary to extend the system. The city has already begun preparations for removing the electric light poles from the streets. They will be planted in the alleys nearest Center and Los Angeles streets, and both telephone companies will shortly follow suit. In a short time neither Center nor Los Angeles streets in the business section of town will know them no more forever. That the system will be extended to take in the full length of Center and Los Angeles streets is a foregone conclusion. People outside of the prescribed district are clamoring for extension, and the wires being laid are capable of carrying sufficient juice to supply a system of lights to the city limits in all directions. This idea was born five years ago. At that time there was much opposition to it, but was gradually overcome until at the present time there is scarcely a property owner on the two streets who has not signed the application for it and agree to pay one dollar per front foot toward the installation. According to the mutual agreement the city pays for the posts and lamps and the property owners pay for the installation. It is only a question of time when the ornamental lighting system will be universal in Anaheim and all wires will be relegated to the alleys. Judge Frank Shanley, who never permits Lemon street to lag behind the procession if he can help it applied to the trustees some weeks ago for permission to construct six ornamental lamp posts in front of his property on South Lemon. The petition was granted, the city agreeing to furnish the juice. Property owners in the Zoyn tract in the north part of town have caught the fever and are petitioning, or going to petition for authority to put up lamp posts at their own expense and this beautiful new residence. On Sunday, February 7, the Anaheim base ball team will make another trip to Redlands and if the weather is more propitious than it was last Sunday will play the opening game of the season in the league contest. The boys are figuring on running a special train provided a sufficient number of rooters agree to go along. The round trip fare will be $1.60, but it requires 125 passengers. At that figure to pay for it. The Redlands manager asked that the Anaheim band accompany the boys, agreeing to pay all expenses provided the charges were not unreasonable. On Sunday, February 14 the Anaheim ball park will be opened, Redlands again being the opposing team. The Redlanders will bring a band with them and a lusty gang of rooters. This is the first game in the new park and the second in the series in which Anaheim will battle for the championship of the league. On Sunday, Jan. 31, the last game will be played on the high school grounds. The Anaheim team has been greatly strengthened during the past month. "We now have a team second to none in the Southland," said T. H. Hopkins, one of the managers. "We are not afraid of anything in the league or any amateur team in Southern California. We expect to demonstrate that we are worthy of the support of the people of this old town where base ball has always been a popular sport. We are going to head the list at the end of the series." ORANGE SHOW IS TO AID BY-PRODUCTS Housewives of Citrus Cities to Show Others How to Make Dishes San Pernardino, Jan. 26.-To aid what the orange growers believe is a vital part of the citrus fruit industry, the National Orange Show, Feb. 17-24, will give a daily demonstration of the preparation of dishes which can be made from oranges and lemons. A committee of prominent women of the city is to have charge of the feature. Housewives in the citrus fruit sections have discovered how to make many delicacies from oranges and lemons that are unknown in the vast majority of homes even in California. The women will demonstrate how various dishes are prepared and gives a communication from the various railroads announced that there would be a meeting at Los Angeles in a short time for the purpose of considering the matter of taking up the reduced round trip rates from that city to neighboring points. The round trip rate from Los Angeles to Anaheim is $1.50, ten cents cheaper than from Anaheim to Los Angeles. The communication was turned over to the transportation committee with instructions to enter a protest. The Associated Chambers will meet at Yorba Linda tomorrow night and the residents of that town who are preparing the banquet wanted to know how many plates they should furnish for Anaheim. Several members announced their intention of attending as the meeting will be a notable one owing to the contest scheduled between the beachites and inlanders over the disposition of the surplus highway fund. A large delegation will go Lemon street to lag behind the procession if he can help it applied to the trustees some weeks ago for permission to construct six ornamental lamp posts in front of his property on South Lemon. The petition was granted, the city agreeing to furnish the juice, Property owners in the Zoytract in the north part of town have caught the fever and are petitioning, or going to petition for authority to put up lamp posts at their own expense and this beautiful new residence section of the city will shortly eliminate all poles and wires on the streets. It is prophesied that before many months the arc and the bracket lights will disappear from Anaheim and its streets will be illuminated by the post system. MOTHERS, ATTENTION! Mondays, Wednesdays and Saturdays during the month of February will be special "BABY DAYS" at the Howard Studio. With every dozen Photos of baby, at the regular rates, we will give FREE a handsome souvenir, "Our Baby's Book."

Names are given as Santiago Mendes, Evaristo Wiser, and Ignacia Martenez. Mendez is badly cut up and bruised, his head being a mass of wounds, will give a daily demonstration of the preparation of dishes which can be made from oranges and lemons. A committee of prominent women of the city is to have charge of the feature. Housewives in the citrus fruit sections have discovered how to make many delicacies from oranges and lemons that are unknown in the vast majority of homes even in California. The women will demonstrate how the various dishes are prepared and gives recipes to the visitors who are interested. With the proper development of the citrus by-products industry, the orange growers believe that many thousands of boxes of fruit will be consumed monthly, and thus add to the demand for oranges and lemons. In addition to the extensive housewives demonstration and exhibit, the Orange show will likewise have exhibits from manufacturers and from the domestic science classes of many schools of the state. The citrus fruit men are promoting in every possible way the success of the by-products industry, which is now in its infancy. Samuel Dick and family drove to Imperial in their touring car last week and visited with his son William Dick. They returned to San Diego, visiting La Jolla and other points, and ran into a drenching rain storm on Saturday, when an inch and a half of rain fell during the day. Owing to the muddy roads Mr. Dick left his car at San Diego and left for home by rail. The University of California Glee Club will give an entertainment at the high school auditorium tomorrow evening. This club is noted throughout Southern California and the concert will be a good one. The Associated Chambers will meet at Yorba Linda tomorrow night and the residents of that town who are preparing the banquet wanted to know how many plates they should furnish for Anahelm. Several members announced their intention of attending as the meeting will be a notable one owing to the contest scheduled between the beachites and inlanders over the disposition of the surplus highway fund. A large delegation will go from Anahelm. Chairman Hauck of the advertising committee announced that his committee had planned new and up-to-date signboards, had also received a number of photographs for advertising purposes, and was making preparations to print G. W. Sandiland's booklet on "The Frostless Belt." The book will be illustrated and will be a valuable addition to the literature of Anahelm. Several thousand copies will be printed. Mills reported that the manufacturers of a non-explosive can-were knocking at the gates and seeking admission to Anahelm. No details were given but the board extended the glad hand and declared they would be welcomed to our midst. J. F. Ahlborn stated that the California Fruit association had $100,000 to invest in a bi-product plant and it might be worth while to make an effort to secure it for this city. It is believed Riverside has the inside tract but it was decided to mkc an application for it. The secretary was instructed to write the association officials regarding the matter. J. F. Ahlborn made a short talk on the storm water situation and moved that Assemblyman Burko be asked to introduce a bill authorizing Orange county to form a county system of river protection. The motion carried. THURSDAY, JAN. 28 Electric Shoe Shop Joe Lautenbach, Prop. Repair Work And Full Line of Shoes Cor. Lemon and Center Sts., Anaheim (Next P. O.)

The boy was taken suddenly and seriously ill Wednesday. An examination was followed by the diagnosis of his case as spinal meningitis and the dread of contagion caused his immediate removal to the pest house at the county farm. His mother braved the danger in the desperate hope of nursing him through. By Friday the boy had lost consciousness, and the end came Sunday night. The mother was stricken Friday afternoon, about the time the boy was sinking away from his senses. She lost consciousness that evening and is still in that condition, with no hope held out for her recovery. An explanation of the cause of the boy's illness may be found.
