MILLS SUGGESTS NEW BOND ISSUE Proposes Plan for Building Highways And Constructing Bridges Editor Gazette: There developed at the meeting of the Associated Chambers of Commerce held at Yorba Linda, the bitterest debate in reference to the good roads money that has ever occurred in this body. Each end of the county arrayed against the other in galling recriminations. The so called defense of the majority report of the highway commission and the retort of the minority by the members of the commission only added to the intensity of the bitterness. The real trouble was that both sides were wrong and there was practically no real way to adjust matters properly, with the money at hand. The minority report was impracticable because the people will not stand for the building of a boulevard from Newport Beach to the San Diego county line. On the other hand the majority report is manifestly unfair as it leaves some important sections of the county without any additional improved highways, while it adds to other sections which already are well supplied. Tustin already has the state highway running diagonally through it one way and a county highway diagonally the other way, and yet the majority report gives Tustin four additional roads. On the other hand Stanton has no paved road on the south and Garden Grove but one running through it and this section is cut off without a cent. When the agitation for improved highways was started some ten or twelve years ago the writer took occu- until the past week. The investigating committee find cause of the nuisance has been corrected and we are unable to direct the proper officials to the source of trouble. The conditions which caused the numerous complaints from the residents south of Santa Ana about the close of the year, have now been removed, at least temporarily. We find the conditions at Los Alamitos have not improved. The drainage from the sugar factory located at this place is still being impounded in large tracts of land and allowed to become stagnant and is a menace to the public health. We therefore would recommend that the proper public officials proceed to have the nuisance abated. In closing this report we desire to express our appreciation for the courteous consideration and the patience which you have shown during our sessions. J. P. GREELEY, Chairman. J. W. DUCKWORTH, Secretary. ANAHEIM DEFEATS FULLERTON BOWLERS Visitors Were Outclassed by Locals In Good Game Friday Night The Anaheim bowling team met and defeated the Fullerton team Friday evening by a score of 2353 to 2224 in a fast and interesting match. Fullerton came over with the expectation of beating Anaheim, but the locals declared it couldn't be did, and proved it. Graham of Whittier, who bowled with Fullerton, had high score, 191, and Cowan of Anaheim made the high average of 174.

Tustin already has the state highway running diagonally through it one way and a county highway diagonally the other way, and yet the majority report gives Tustin four additional roads. On the other hand Stanton has no paved road on the south and Garden Grove but one running through it and this section is cut off without a cent. When the agitation for improved highways was started some ten or twelve years ago the writer took occasion to suggest a system that should be improved. The suggestion was met on the one hand as that of a dreamer and on the other as being exceedingly selfish. However, if the majority report be adopted all of the roads suggested at that time will be paved except that running west from Garden Grove to the county line. Since that time the county has materially developed and there are other roads that now need improving which is shown by the ever increasing demands made on the county highway commission and the board of supervisors, and likewise the late unpleasantness at Yorba Linda. I now take the liberty of suggesting an amicable solution of this vexing road problem. It is that the following roads be improved and bridges built as named. Olive to Riverside ... 11.50 Placentia-Yorba ... 5.40 Yorba Linda ... 2.50 Carbon Canyon-Brea ... 7.50 La Habra ... 7.55 Cypress-Stanton ... 2.25 County farm to Garden Grove ... 3.00 Garden Grove west to Co. line ... 8.50 Stanton-Westminster ... 2.00 Smeltzer to H.

There are also events evening by a score of 2353 to 2224 in a fast and interesting match. Fullerton came over with the expectation of beating Anaheim, but the locals declared it couldn't be did, and proved it.

EBELL SOCIETY HONORS OUR POETS Heid Birthday Party on Saturday for Those Born in February February being the birth month of many of our most famous poets, the Ebell society held a birthday party in their honor at their meeting last Saturday. The hall was tastefully decorated in green and white, the club colors, by the use of smillax, asparagus fern and calla lilies. After a short business session, the room was darkened, the only lights being those on the stage, where a table was set with snowy cloth and china. A large birthday cake, 14 inches in diameter graced the center of the table and upon it stood eight white and green candles. As Miss Sldman played on the plano, nine ladies marched in, dressed in colonial costumes with powdered hair and high heeled slippers.

MILLS. GRAND JURORS SUBMIT THEIR FINAL REPORT No Complaint Against Santa Ana Sugar Factories But Los Alamitos Needs Disciplining Following is the supplementary or final report submitted to the superior court by the Orange county grand jury: Santa Ana, Cal., Feb. 8, 1915. To Hon W. H. Thomas, Judge of the Superior Court, Department Two, of Orange County, California. We, the members of the Grand Jury impanelled by you on November 17, 1914, in requesting a delay from final report on Jan. 22, 1915, for the privilege of making a further investigation of the complaints as to the conditions arising from the out fall of the drainage from the sugar factories south of Santa Ana, beg leave to submit this our report. Due to the continuous rains following our adjournment, it was impossible to make the proper investigations room was darkened, the only lights being those on the stage, where a table was set with snowy cloth and china. A large birthday cake, 14 inches in diameter graced the center of the table and upon it stood eight white and green candles. As Miss Sldman played on the piano, nine ladies marched in, dressed in colonial costumes with powdered hair and high heeled slippers. They took their places at the table, Mrs. Chamberlain, the president of the club being toastmistress. She gave a short sketch of each poet in whose honor the birthday party was held. Each of the other eight ladies responded in turn to one of the poets, giving one of his most famous selections. Mistress Elliot responded to Emerson; Mistress Abbey, to Longfellow by giving "The Acorn and the song;" Mistress James to Lowell by a selection from "The Vision of Sir Lauful;" Mistress Callaway, to Holmes,"The Cumberland Mountains;" Mistress Cox to Eugene Fields,"The Westernman;" Mistress Grimshaw, to Whittler, by giving a selection from "Snow Bound;" Mistress Evans to James Whitcomb Riley, and Mistress Parker to Joaquin Miller,"Sell Pablo." During the whole program Mrs. Clarence Chamberlain played softly on the violin in an adjoining room. Then Miss Sldman played Mozart's "Minuet" and the eight ladies came down from the platform and danced the minuet gracefully and daintily. So well did they do it, that they had to repeat it. After the candles were extinguished and the room lightened, the birthday cake was cut. Refreshments of coffee and cake were served and each one received a piece of birthday cake.

Editor Anaheim Gazette:— The first annual meeting of the Taxpayers League of Orange County was held in Santa Ana, Jan. 6th. D. G. Cole of Santa Ana was elected president and William Feldner of Orange was re-elected secretary treasurer. An advisory committee of fifteen members was also elected. Eighteen new members were unanimously voted into the league. The membership of the league has reached almost the first one hundred mark. It is the aim of the league to have 1,000 members by the date of the next annual election. Alameda county tax association has a membership of about 3,000 and through their influence hundreds of thousands of dollars have been saved to their taxpayers. The committee, appointed by the league to urge on our supervisors that they put a more permanent surface on the roads being improved so as to protect the concrete which is already showing signs of deterioration where the filmy surfacing had worn away, reported that they had appeared before both the highway commission and board of supervisors and urged on them that a more permanent, therefore more economical, wearing surface be placed on all of the roads being improved under the bond act. The committee also stated that they were unable to report anything but apparent indifference on the part of those interviewed. The report of the committee was ac- of the main packing house, will facilitate the handling of the association's lemons. The dimensions are 80x90 feet and the type is one story frame structure. It will contain one large room and four sweat rooms for lemons. The improvement will take away much of the lemon process from the main packing house, under which is a lemon basement. In the latter the lemons will be stored while the addition will receive and wash and sweat the lemons. The packing will be done in the main building. At present the packing house is cramped for space and the addition is the first of two planned for this year. Next fall the association expects to build another house the same size as the present main one, built one year ago last fall, which is 80x157 feet and represents an investment of about $15,000. Much of the acreage in the association is young and coming into bearing and the additions are necessary to care for the larger yields each year. REMOVAL OF TELEPHONE POLES APPARENTLY STRIKES SNAG Company Says Poles Will be Taken Off Streets Just as Soon as Money Matters Loosen On Thursday last the city trustees at an informal meeting gave the Pacific Telephone company permission to remove four or five poles on Center and Los Angeles streets, within the new lighting area, to new locations on the same streets, where it was shown that the poles obstructed the new improvements. A few weeks ago when the telephone company sought to remove these same poles, and place them in new positions on the same street, Street Superintendent Sackett stopped NOTICE OF ELECTION Pursuant to an Order and Resolution of the Trustees of Anaheim Storm Water District of Orange County, made on the 8th day of February, 1915, notice is hereby given that an election will be held in said district on the 26th day of February, 1915; for the purpose of voting on the proposed disincorporating Anaheim Storm Water District of Orange County, which said district was by resolution of the Board of Supervisors of Orange County, California, formed with its exterior boundaries as described in said resolution, in accordance with an act of the Legislature of the State of California, entitled: "An act to provide for the formation, organization and growth of storm water district for the purpose of protecting the land therein from damage from storm water and from the waters of any innavigable stream, waterway, canyon or wash, for the construction of the necessary works of protection by district for the levying of taxes and assessments to pay for the cost of constructing, repairing and maintaining such improvements."

MINNESOTAN'S ATTENTION The great annual Mid-winter Picnicofthe Minnesota Association of Southern California will be held at Eastlake Park,Los Angeles on February 13th.As there are about an hundred thousand former sons and daughtersofthe North Star State residing in this sectionofthe country enjoyingCalifornia's pleasant climate and eternal sunshineand many visitors tothe Fairls,a large and happy gatheringis expected Itwill be an all-day affair,a shortprogram will be indulged in，consistingof music and short addressesbyA GREAT TELESCOPETO BE INSTALLED Founded on a Gift Fund From The LateAnneh Chabot A new telescope，to bethe astronomical Krupp howitzerofthe Anneh Chabot observatory，Oakland，is on itsway west.A short time will seeethe greatest instrument,eighthof its sizeinUnited States，at its destinationIt will be taken acrossbayandmountedatthe Panama-Pacificexposition，whilethe observatoryis prepared. Four or five years ago while Bert Simpson was city marshal of this hustling town, he inaugurated what is termed the electric light signal. In case an officer was needed, a call would be put in at the central office of the telephone company, and immediately by using a contrivance in the office, the operator could throw on a red light at the intersection of Los Angeles and Center streets, especially at night time, thereby signalling an officer. He is turn, upon seeing the light, would communicate with the telephone operator and learn at once where he was wanted. In that way peace officers could make quick calls to the seat of trouble. The device is still in use and adds much to the efficiency of the police service in this city. It was an unique device and its use in this city was its first installation, so far as there is any record. In a recent issue of one of the leading magazines an article appears, together with a cut showing the electric light globe attached to a high pole, in reference to a similar device used in New York City. The signal globes are suspended from poles placed at street corners, and no doubt are a great help to the police of that city. Whether the device is an infringement on Mr. Simpson's invention is not known at present, but the principle is the same. NEW PACKING HOUSE With a force of several men, Earl Wheatland, contractor, began work this week upon the new addition, costing $3500 to the packing house of the La Habra Citrus association. Mr. Wheatland will increase his force to fifteen next week and push the work to completion. The association expects to use the addition before the naval season opens. The addition to be built to the east of the Minnesota Association of Southern California will be held at Eastlake Park, Los Angeles on February 13th. As there are about an hundred thousand former sons and daughters of the North Star State residing in this section of the country enjoying California's pleasant climate and eternal sunshine and many visitors to the Fairs, a large and happy gathering is expected. It will be an all-day affair, a short program will be indulged in, consisting of music and short addresses by former Minneotans. A basket lunch will be served at noon. County registration, college reunions and a general polly social time may be expected by everyone. There will be thousands of former gohpers present so come and meet your old friends and keep alive the memories of the North Star state. Should the 13th be rainy, the picnic will be held on the following Saturday. Charged with robbing T. Honda, a Japanese resident of Newhope, of a gold watch and chain said to have cost $125, George "Kioto" Williams, sometimes known as the "Pirate of the Mississippi," and the Terror of the Wharf-rats" had his preliminary hearing before Justice Cox Monday, and was bound over to appear before the Superlor Court with ball fixed at $1000. Williams was arrested n Anaheim on January 25, and it is said he was trying to sell the watch and chain, which he claimed he had gotten from a Mexican. He was arrested and had his arraignment on January 26, being held in ball of $1000. It is understood that Williams has just finished a term of probation and is considered something of a bad actor by local police officers. Charles F. Mauerhan has begun divorce proceedings against Ruth C. Mauerhan. Tipton & Callor are his attorneys. A new telescope, to be the astronomical Krupp howitzer of the new Chabot observatory, Oakland, is on its way west. A short time will see the great instrument, eighth of its size in the United States, at its destination. It will be taken across the bay and mounted at the Panama-Pacific position, while the observatory is prepared. The great telescope, costing about $18,000, is one of the most remarkable in the world. Several new features designed by Professor Charles Burckhalter, director of the observatory, will be seen on the instrument, which on the new site will place Chabot observatory on a par with any observatory in the world. The observatory will be moved as soon as possible. This was decided upon when it was found that the lights of the city made scientific work at the present location impossible. The new observatory site was chosen by R. H. Altken, Professor Burckhalter, and several others, and is declared ideal, even better than that of the Lick institution. The observatory was founded on a gift fund from the late Anthony Chabot, and is operated by the Board of Education. The new telescope was designed by John A. Brashear, maker of famous lenses; Ambrose Swasey, mounter of instruments; and Professor Burckhalter the two noted men visiting the observatory director to outline plans for the big undertaking. The two eastern men are famous as the makers of instruments by which almost all the modern astronomical discoveries have been accomplished.

The land is as good as any that lays outdoors and the beautiful young orchards will be the source of fat bank-rgills in time to come. The place is picturesquely situated, and an air of confentment pervades the entire community. The people are generous and they make a stranger within their gates feel perfectly at home. On visiting the hustling foothill burg and meeting with the enterprising citizens, on leave taking one feels impelled to call again and enjoy their wholesouled hospitality. Roy Mabee of Oklahoma, champion wrestler of that state, arrived here this week, and will give a wrestling exhibition at the opera house tomorrow, (Friday) evening, February 12. He will take on Carl Wilson of San Diego, who has a good local reputation. The exhibition will be conducted on sportsmanlike principles and no doubt quite a crowd will be out to see the men perform.

The jury that tried Gregorio Garcia on a charge of stealing a $75 buggy from Bert Annlin of Fullerton, found him guilty. The officers believe that Garcia is a member of a gang of Mexicans who have been doing no small amount of stealing in the Cypress and Garden Grove sections. Garcia was arrested by G. C. Law, when he was under sheriff, after the buggy had been traced to a willow thicket near Artesia where the wheels were painted orange, and thence to San Gabriel, where Barcia was arrested. Judge West gave Garcia six years in San Quentin.
