While the Fullerton boys won first in a few of the stunts they were hopefully outclassed, the final score standing 95 to 37. The visitors won the mile race, but as the champion's name was Kelly nothing less was expected of him.

CONSIDERABLE WATER RAN IN SANTA ANA RIVER BUT NO DAMAGE DONE New Bridge Contractors Put Out of Action Temporarily, Old Bridge Rendered Unsafe L. J. Winney was in town on Saturday morning on a business mission. He stated that while a large volume of water came down the Santa Ana river during the recent heavy rains, there was no overflow of any consequence. The water had a tendency to spread out over the entire width of the river bed, greatly minimizing its force. A number of the ranchers south of the Olive bridge have put in considerable work strengthening the levee, besides stringing wires along the west bank to better hold brush and other debris placed there to check any possible overflow. Naturally some of the storm water spread out over contiguous territory to the southeast, but this many of the ranchers claim is a benefit to their property, depositing sediment and slit upon the land greatly enriched. FOUR-STORY HOTEL WITH ROOF GARDEN John Ziegler to Give Anaheim First-Class Hotel—Work to be Under Way in Sixty Days John Ziegler is having plans drawn for a four-story building to be used as a first class hotel on his property at the corner of Center and Lemon streets. The structure will cost about $40,000. The Anaheim National bank will occupy the lower corner, with a frontage of 60 feet on Lemon street and 30 feet on Center. On completion of the building this banking institution will remove from its present location into the new. The new banking quarters will be strictly modern in every detail, and the bank will continue to be one of the leading financial institutions in the country. The main entrance to the hotel will be on Center street, opening into a wide lobby leading into the dining room, which will also have an entrance from the Lemon street side. There will be a frontage of 70 feet on Center and 100 feet on Lemon streets. The first story will be faced of red ruffled brick with cream artificial stone trimmings. The upper story will be of the red ruffled brick. Architraves of cream artificial stone will be used around window openings, and cream belt courses and cornices. The lobby will be wide, opening out on Center street, at the center of the building. The lobby will extend back to the dining room, which will open out onto Lemon street, and affords ample room for 100 guests. CIVIL SERVICE EXAMINATIONS The State Civil Service Commission of California announces that the following examinations have been scheduled for the month of March, 1915. Application blanks and further information may be secured from the state civil service commission; Forum Building, Sacramento. Civil Engineer, Grade II, March 5-6—To fill positions with the highway commission, Dept. of engineering, state harbor commission and all other positions of the same class and grade.

There are frequently openings for positions of this character. greatly minimizing its force. A number of the ranchers south of the Olive bridge have put in considerable work strengthening the levee, besides stringing wires along the west bank to better hold brush and other debris placed there to check any possible overflow. Naturally some of the storm water spread out over contiguous territory to the southeast, but this many of the ranchers claim is a benefit to their property, depositing sediment and slit upon the land, greatly enriching the same. The Olive bridge is in a very shaky condition and people are warned against its unsafe condition. Why work upon the new bridge had been started at this time of year, is a querry, and many people are of the opinion that any other time, when the seasons are more propitious, would have been a more advantageous time for prosecuting the work. RIVER NOTES On Friday last considerable water was coming down the Santa Ana river and the volume of storm waters at the Olive bridge assumed large proportions. The old dyke withstood the onrush of waters and there was at no time any prospect of the turbulent river leaving its banks and damaging adjacent property to the west. It was said there was a disposition on the part of some of the eastsiders to instill a degree of fear into the minds of some of the more timid residents in the immediate vicinity of the river, in that there was imminent danger of a big overflow and washout of property. A considerable number of people were at the Olive bridge viewing the sudden rise in the river, and some became unduly alarmed. There was no overflow of any damaging proportions, and no one suffered any inconveniences. CONGRESSMAN KETTNER WRITES CONCERNING NEWPORT HARBOR Will Leave no Stones Unturned Until Wishes of People of Newport are Granted House of Representatives Washington, February 6, 1915.

Editor Gazette:—My attention has just been called to an article in your valuable paper of January 28th, headed "No Government Aid," wherein you state that "one of Mr. Kettner's campaign promises during the campaign was that he would endeavor to get an appropriation for improvement of this harbor (Newport), but it appears the powers at Washington have blocked his efforts." Feeling very certain that you do not wish to misquote the facts and create a false impression, I take the liberty of writing you and explaining the situation. I promised the people at Newport that I would do everything in my power to see that the War Department established their harbor lines. I have had five interviews with the Chief of Army Engineers, Gen. Kingman, in an effort to accomplish this purpose. At our last meeting or conference, Senator William Alden Smith and Capt. Charles T. Leeds, of Los Angeles, were in attendance. We are now gathering all the facts which I expect to present to Secretary Garrison myself, and Senator Smith has expressed his willingness to go with me and do everything he can for Newport. You can rest assured that I will leave no stone unturned until the wishes of the people of Newport are granted. Yours very sincerely, WILLIAM KETTNER PROTECTING THE HORSES An officer on the retired list tells of a raw recruit just enrolled in a crack cavalry troop of our army. He was paying his first visit to the riding ground. "Here's your horse," said the instructor. The recruit advanced, took the bridle gingerly, and examined his mount with great care. "What's it got this strap around it for?" he asked, pointing to the girth.

Mantor, a veterinary surgeon of Orange, to have the board of supervisors create the office of meat, milk and food inspector and have himself appointed to fill the position met with disaster Wednesday, when the supervisors denied Dr. Mantor's petition. Dr. Mantor had circulated a petition among the physicians of the county and had the signatures of most of them asking that the inspection be provided for. C. A. Graffis of this city, was fined $50 at Santa Ana for speeding on the highway, that being his second offense. "Well," explained the instructor, solemnly, "you see, all our horses have a keen sense of humor, an' as they sometimes has sudden fits of laughter when they see the recruits tryin' to ride, we puts them bands around 'em to keep 'em from bustin' their sides!" ENORMOUS INCREASE IN SOUTHERN CALIFORNIA PROPERTY VALUATION The Eight Southern Counties Realty Fixed at $1,169,982,150—A Gain of Over 4 Million in Five Years Leaping $417,017,937 in five years, the assessed valuation of property in Southern California has reached a total of $1,169,982,150. Los Angeles county alone shows an enormous increase of $318,591,036 for that period, leading the other seven counties. These astonishing figures have been compiled by assessors of the eight Southern counties who gathered in the board of equalization rooms on the sixth floor of the hall of records in Los Angeles for a general discussion concerning pending legislation and the question of uniform assessments in the southland. Property with an actual value of more than $2,000,000,000 was represented. The conference was called by Ed. W. Hopkins, assessor of Los Angeles county. An astonishing increase in values in all of the eight counties was reported by each of the visiting asses- EXAMINATIONS Service Commission unces that the follows have been schedled of March, 1915, and further inforced from the state mission; Forum Buildgrade II, March 5-6 with the highway engineering, state and all other posclass and grade. $1200 to $1800 per all the successful or examinations are the various departMarch 13—To fill porious departments series ranging from annum.

Salaries range from $1200 to $1800 per annum. There is a great deal of prospective architectural work for the state which will require men of this class. A big increase was reported by James Sleeper of Orange. Five years ago, he said, the valuation was $30,597,532 and this year $54,546,951, or almost double. Imperial county's valuations have more than doubled. The valuation five years ago was $12,148,180, compared with $25,757,829 on the last roll. Riverside county reported an increase of approximately $7,000,000 in the five year period, the valuation in 1910 being $26,925,831 and this year $34,005,577. That the California motorists will find relief from the present auto taxation burden is now regarded by those who have studied the legislative situation as certain. Of the three major bills for amending the present motor code, all provide for a reduction in the fees exacted from the motor car owner. That such a sum as will be collected this year is excessive of the real needs is the contention of advocates of the reduced tax scale. Already there have been registered in the state 110,725 motor cars. The owners of these have paid into the state treasury approximately $1,400,000. W. C.
