FINALLY AGREE ON HIGHWAY REPORT SUPERVISORS AND HIGHWAY COMMISSION COME TO AN AMICABLE UNDERSTANDING NORTHERN END OF COUNTY FARES WELL IN PROPOSED EXPENDITURE Bringing the supervisors and highway commission finally into bonds of amity and concord, after many weeks of cruel war during which both bodies maintained positions of armed neutrality, not to say of belligerency, the dove of peace settled upon them, at an executive conference held on Wednesday afternoon last, and the expenditure of the $240,000 surplus in the hands of the highway commission was at last determined upon to the satisfaction of all concerned. Chairman Talbort of the supervisors, secreted his automatic in his boot leg, and Com- When the supervisors on Wednesday last referred the majority report of the highway commission back to that body, it was agreed that the two bodies would meet in executive session. After a long conference the two bodies finally came to an amicable understanding. Following is the amended report of the highway commission: Santa Ana, Cal., March 3, 1915. To the Honorable Board of Supervisors, Orange County, California. Gentlemen: In view of the fact that there will be an excess of approximately, $240,000 remaining from the money realized from the good roads bond issue after completing the system as originally planned we recommend that steps be taken to construct the following roads: Riverside Sec. 3, 4 and 5, 11.42 miles, from Olive to Riverside county line. Placentia-Yorba, 6.00 miles, Placentia avenue to Riverside road. Santiago boulevard, 5.85 miles, from Olive to El Modena. Yorba Linda, 2.50 miles, from Yorba Linda to Olinda road. La Habra, .75 miles, La Habra to state road. Stanton, 2.25 miles, to connect Sec. 1 and 2 of A. S. C. El Toro, 1.12 miles, El Toro to state road. ANAHEIM A SAN FRANCISCO EXPOSITION F. K. GRESSWELL DISPLAY IS THE BEST AT THE F. KLONDIKE WALNUIT MUCH ATTENDS CROWDS OF VIEW. As a representative board of trade F. K. Gresswell the opening of the exposition at San Francisco turned home last Sunday all the sides, ends and elephant. Mr. Gresswell several of the world's including the Chicago he declares there has nothing to equal the spain Francisco's Presidio. I Gresswell was also plan helm pictures where most good. He had tw bird's eye views taken of cruel war during which both bodies maintained positions of armed neutrality, not to say of belligerency, the dove of peace settled upon them, at an executive conference held on Wednesday afternoon last, and the expenditure of the $240,000 surplus in the hands of the highway commission was at last determined upon to the satisfaction of all concerned. Chairman Talbort of the supervisors, secreted his automatic in his boot leg, and Commissioner McFadden hid his hatchet under his sweater. Both men shook hands over the bloody chasm. Commissioner Pixley and Jasper Leck fell upon one another's neck and silently wept. All hands expressed gratitude that the cruel days of warfare were at last at an end. The only raucous voice in this beautiful melodrama was that of Supervisor Schumacher, who jumped the traces at the wind up, and cast his vote against approval of the highway commission's amended report. Schumacher had been promised by the supervisors earlier in the deliberations an appropriation of $8000 to help in paving two miles of roadway from the Garden Grove road west of town, north to Orangethorpe avenue. This road is in addition to paved highways allotted this district in the majority report of the commission submitted two months or more ago. Because the highway commission did not consider it incumbent upon it to include this appropriation in its official report, Schumacher cast his vote in the negative, although it was plain that the northern portion of the county had all the better of the negotiations. Added to the roads already allotted the third district, the amended report gives us five-eights of a mile of paved highway from Placentia to Placentia avenue, joining the paved highway from this city. Paving of the Olive road had already been provided for by the supervisors, the canyon road was also included, as well as the Yorba Linda road, the Stanton road, and a paved road three-fourths of a mile in length at La Habra. While the canyon road is not located in this district, it is a continuation of the local paved highway system, and is of course of inestimable value to this section of the county. These roads will cost probably $150,000 and the Olive road, included in the original highway system, will cost $30,000. Yet because the highway commission refused to include in its final report the appropriation of $8000 promised by the board of supervisors for the west side road Placentia-Yorba, 6.00 miles, Placentia avenue to Riverside路. Santiago boulevard, 5.85 miles, from Olivo to El Modena. Yorba Linda, 2.50 miles, from Yorba Linda to Olinda路. La Habra, .75 miles, La Habra to state road. Stanton, 2.25 miles, to connect Sec. 1 and 2 of A. S. C. El Toro, 1.12 miles, El Toro to state road. Newport avenue Sec. 2, 1.85 miles, state road to 17th street. Irvine boulevard, .75 miles, Newport avenue running S. E. First street Tustin, .40 miles, Prospect avenue to Newport avenue. Main street Tustin, .50 miles. Fairview, 1.50 miles, Greenville southerly. Garden Grove - Westminster, 3.87 miles. Wintersburg, 1.00 mile. Smeltzer, .60 mile. Main street-Newport avenue, .90 mile. We realize that the amount available in the highway fund will not be sufficient to pay the expense of these additional roads, but would recommend that you provide the additional amount necessary from such available funds as in your judgment is wise. The above recommendation for the Yorba Linda road is conditional upon the citizens of that vicinity doing the grading necessary to bring the roadbed to a grade not greater than 5 percent. We further recommend that no road be approved for construction until a deed for the right of way is furnished to Orange county, without cost, that is satisfactory to the board of supervisors as to width, alignment and provisions. Respectfully submitted, D. C. PIXLEY, R. J. McFADDEN, W. T. NEWLAND, Members of Orange County Highway Commission.

GOOD RETURNS FORM YOUNG LEMON ORCHARD John Kirsch Reallzes Handsome Returns for Fruit From Four-Acre Tract John H. Kirsch has four acres in bearing lemon trees from which he has just picked 1000 boxes. From ten to eleven pickings are made during the year. He has four acres more of lemons coming in, and the remaining space of his 20-acre tract is set to oranges. His place is located southeast of town and is one of the best pieces of property in the county. Just now the market for lemons is not the beat, but as the fruit may be kept six or seven months, a grower can store the lemons. Mr. Kirsch last year received $4.75 per box f. o. b. Anaheim and has received as high as $7.25 per box for his product. The fruit is of excellent quality and he takes a pride in producing the best grade. Mr. Kirsch contends that a man can sell lemons for 1 cent per pound off the trees and make more money than by raising oranges. He sees a great future for the lemon industry, and by using scientific methods in propagating the fruit he is reaping rich rewards for his labors. PLEASANTLY SURPRISED Mrs. Louise Hunger and her niece Miss Matilda Wagner were very pleasantly surprised by a number of neighbors on Monday night at the cosy little home on Kroeger street, the occasion being the anniversary of both their birthdays. They were showered with lovely gifts and hearty congratulations. At 6:30 a tempting supper was served. The table was beautifully decorated with violets, the center piece being a large birthday cake. Edna Hocherli, Gusle Belle Brum and Martha Wagner daintly served the repast.

ANAHEIM AT THE SAN FRANCISCO EXPOSITION F. K. GRESSWELL SAYS LOCAL DISPLAY IS THE BEST THING AT THE FAIR KLONDIKE WALNUTS ATTRACTING MUCH ATTENTION FROM CROWDS OF VISITORS As a representative of the Anaheim board of trade F. K. Gresswell attended the opening of the Panama-Pacific exposition at San Francisco, and returned home last Sunday after seeing all the sides, ends and corners of the elephant. Mr. Gresswell has attended several of the world's biggest shows including the Chicago exposition, but he declares there has never been anything to equal the spectacle in San Francisco's Preside. Incidentally Mr. Gresswell was also planting a few Anaheim pictures where they would do the most good. He had two of the large bird's eye views taken by Judge How- SAMPLE ORANGES FOR YOUR FRIENDS Fruit Association Will Forward Fancy Oranges by Express at $1.10 a Box Gerald Sandilands, manager of the Anaheim Fruit association, is taking orders for sample boxes of fancy fruit to be shipped by express to any part of the United States in commeroration of Orange day which falls on the 20th of this month. These sample boxes will contain three dozen fancy oranges, and will be sold at $1.10, expressage propaid. Mr. Sandilands will take orders up to the 13th, and will ship on the 15th, in time to have the fruit at its destination on the 20th. Sample boxes of oranges were shipped out last year to many points throughout the country, and much favorable comment was heard concerning the venture, many letters having come from distant points acknowledging superiority of the fruit. This year's crop is the best harvested in many years, and those who desire to have sample boxes seat to friends should ring up the association packing house and send in their orders. No orders will be taken after the 13th. WHO IS TO BE VICTORIOUS IN THE GREAT WAR? PROF. KARL HALM, NOTED LECTURER OF LOS ANGELES, TALKS TO LARGE CROWD IN AUDITORIUM STEREOPTICON SLIDES USED TO DEPICT WAR SCENES NOW ENGULFING EUROPE Prof Karl Halm addressed a large audience in the high school auditorium Monday night, using as his subject, "Who is to be Victorious" in the great world's war now raging in Europe. A number of stereopticon slides were shown having a bearing upon the terrific conflict. Prof. E. W. Hauck introduced the speaker in well chosen words, saying that Prof. Halm, while an American citizen, is still a German, and that American audiences would listen to his discourse with unblamed minds in order that they may learn true facts turned home last Sunday after seeing all the sides, ends and corners of the elephant. Mr. Gresswell has attended several of the world's biggest shows including the Chicago exposition, but he declares there has never been anything to equal the spectacle in San Francisco's Preside. Incidentally Mr. Gresswell was also planting a few Anaheim pictures where they would do the most good. He had two of the large bird's eye views taken by Judge Howard from the top of the water tank placed in a conspicuous place in the California building, and two in the chamber of commerce building at Oakland. Mr. Gresswell declares none of the state buildings and exhibits can compare with the California building, that Orange county's display is the finest in the building, and that Anaheim's portion is the finest in the collection. While he has resided here for a number of years Mr. Gresswew says he never saw first class oranges until he viewed them in the Anaheim and Orange county display. "It was the finest display of fruit I ever saw," he said, "and was arranged in an attractive and artistic manner." Anaheim's walnuts also attracted a great deal of interest among the visitors, especially the Klondikes. Few of the visitors had ever seen these huge nuts and it was the general opinion that a soil that produced such an exaggerated nut must be the garden spot of the world. County representative D. W. McDannald, who has charge of the county's exhibit, states that Orange county should issue a folder or small pamphlet devoted exclusively to walnuts, giving a more detailed description of this crop, as the literature now being distributed does not devote sufficient space to it. All the chills on exhibition were from the Anaheim section and the display of this red hot vegetable was a creditable one. Furthermore of the five big sugar factories extracting annually one hundred million pounds of sweetness from Orange county soil, the Anaheim factory was the only one making an exhibit. Mr. Gresswell was exceedingly well pleased with the Anaheim showing, and declares that no town in the state had a more attractive display. C. L. Wilson is manager of the California exhibits and D. W. McDannald has charge of Orange county's section. A space 100 feet square has been set apart for this county and all its ex ANAHEIM BOYS WIN SECOND IN TRACK MEET GRAB HONORS IN CONTEST WITH EIGHTEEN SOUTHERN CALIFORNIA HIGH SCHOOLS GET THREE FIRSTS AND ONE SECOND ON THE SAN FERNANDO FIELD SATURDAY By winning three firsts and one second the Anaheim high school athletes took second place in the fifth annual invitation track meet at San Fernando last Saturday, eighteen Southern California schools being in the contest. Santa Paula, with five firsts and two seconds to its credit, was first with 31 points. The total score was: Santa Paula 31, Anaheim 18, Hemet 17, Harvard Military school and Whittrist state, 11 each, Monrovia 9, Glendale 8, Fillmore 7, Orange 5, Covina 5, South Pasadena 4, Ventura 2, San Fernando, Huntington Beach and Van Nuys each 1, and Huntington Park, Burbank and Qwensmouth none. Anaheim boys won both the 440 and 880-rad runs. Douglass cantered in ahead in the quarter mile, his time being 53 2-5 seconds. Baker of Fillmore was second and Forbes of Van Nuys third. Eddie Backs drew the honors in the half mile race. He made the distance in 2 min. 6 2-5 sec. Rice of Fillmore was second and Holland of Harvard got third money. In the javelin throw Anaheim grabbed both first and second. Doty, who is the champion spearman of Southern California upon the battlefields.

A number of stereopticon slides were shown having a bearing upon the terrific conflict. Prof. E. W. Hauck introduced the speaker in well chosen words, saying that Prof. Halm, while an American citizen, is still a German, and that American audiences would listen to his discourse with unblased minds in order that they may learn true facts of the terrible strife now involving the people of Europe. Prof. Halm proved to be an entertaining speaker and his recital was listened to with wrap attention by the large assemblage. He spoke forcibly from a German standpoint and was firm in his belief that the Fatherland would conquer over the Allied forces. "Today the German empire is united," the speaker said. "The war has served to bring people together as never before. Socialism and militarism have joined hands in Germany. The autocrat and the most lowly peasant, the rich and the poor, all have joined hands to perpetuate the empire. The people of Germany are law-abiding and peaceful. They are all for one, one for all." "When the call to arms sounded the cry was heard throughout the country, and a unity of purpose has since existed that bespeaks the ultimate victory for right and justice." Prof Halm classed the neutrality of this country as inconsistent, in that while we prayed for peace, munitions of war are being sent daily to Europe. This is a condition greatly to be deplored. There are 12,000,000 Germans in the United States, the speaker said, and all are patriotic American citizens. They would fight, if need be, shoulder to shoulder with Americans to keep the Stars and Stripes unsuilled, but they are nevertheless Germans who revere their mother country's name. The speaker declared that the United States should not permit for one moment the shipment of contraband of war to the warring nations and by so doing would soon end the war. The reported atrocities accredited to the German soldiers, emanating from certain quarters, were vehemently denied by the speaker, and to emphasize this fact views were shown of the humane characteristics displayed by German soldiers upon the battlefields.

Mr. Gresswell was exceedingly well pleased with the Anaheim showing, and declares that no town in the state had a more attractive display. C. L. Wilson is manager of the California exhibits and D. W. McDannald has charge of Orange county's section. A space 100 feet square has been set apart for this county and all its exhibits are confined in that space. They are artistically arranged and Mr. Gresswell considers them the most attractive in the huge building. It is forbidden to place advertising matter outside of these sections, but Mr. Gresswell left two of his big Anaheim pictures with Manager Wilson and the next morning found them hung at the entrance, the most conspicuous place in the building. This week Mr. Gresswell goes to San Diego on an advertising expedition. He will hang two of the pictures there. One of them will also be put in the chamber of commerce building at Los Angeles, and another in the Santa Ana chamber. Mr. Gresswell says that Orange county people visiting the fair who hear Mr. McDannald talk and see the exhibits under his care, will know more about the county than they did before. At the annual meeting of the Auto Club of Southern California held a few days ago, one of the most significant undertakings, planned for was the increasing of the road signs owned by the club to 20,000. The club now has throughout the south about 7600 signs. This will put the local organization in the van of all motoring clubs, and with the increase in the expense of the upkeep of these posts and in the placing of them, an increase in membership will be sought. C. F. Grim was in Los Angeles on business Monday. Anaheim boys won both the 440 and 880-rad runs. Douglass cantered ahead in the quarter mile, his time being 53 2-5 seconds. Baker of Fillmore was second and Forbes of Van Nuys third. Eddie Backs drew the honors in the half mile race. He made the distance in 2 min. 6 2-5 sec. Rice of Fillmore was second and Holland of Harvard got third money. In the javelin throw Anaheim grabbed both first and second. Doty, who is the champion spearman of Southern California hurled the shaft 143 ft. 8 in. Chamberlain of Anaheim was second and Bidwell of Glendale third. That Anaheim will win the cup in the Orange county high school meet in this city Saturday of this week is almost a foregone conclusion. The team this season is an exceptionally good one and under the efficient management of Coach Millikan the boys have developed and are able to deliver all there is in them. Already they have held contests with their three principal opponents and have won easily. With Santa Ana they won by a score of 71 to 61. Fullerton came over the following Saturday and lost to the locals by a 95 to 37 score, and Orange fared little better, being defeated 77 to 55. In addition to this relay team went up to Los Angeles on Monday, February 22, and won eight gold medals and a silver cup, getting away with first in both the events in which they entered, and winning the high honors for their class. The contest on Saturday is for the championship of Orange county and the silver cup that is held by the winners of the track meet each year. There is also a cup offered by the Anaheim board of trade to the individual athlete making the most points in the contest. That is to be his property and will not be contested for again. There is little doubt that Anaheim will win the county cup, which is now held by Orange, but who will get the individual cup is a problem. The stereopticon views were interesting and many historical scenes were displayed; also pictures of the Imperial family, Kaiser Wilhelm, Gen. Von Hindenberg, the Relschstag, Emperor Franz Josef of Austria, and many notable who have made Germany famous, besides the military activities throughout the empire, all being inspired with German patriotism, and portraying but one purpose—the perpetuation of the Fatherland. Other pictures were shown in a more or less satirical vein depicting scenes of enlistment carried on by the allied forces. One was shown wherein the Czar was fervently praying to his subjects to remain loyal for past favors extended them, while at same time bodies were seen, in satire, dangling from scaffolds all about the mucn perturbed ruler of Russia. The lecture as a whole was entertaining and instructive and Prof. Halm's verdict was that the Germans would be victorious. The Junge orchestra furnished music during the evening. EAGLESONS WIN INITIAL GAME ON NEW GROUNDS New Ball Park Opened on Sunday Afternoon, With Fair Crowd In Attendance The Anaheim ball team lost the first game at the new ball park on Sunday, the Eagleson nine of Los Angeles winning by a score of 3 to one in a ten-inning session.

In the second inning the home team had the bases full, with two out, and a good batter up, but the man on second was caught napping off the bag, at this interesting stage of the game, and the side was retired. This virtually lost them the game, as it is reasonable that a couple of more runs would have been annexed had the base runners been on their tip toes. Bleecker pitched good ball and the team generally played well. The visitors did not distinguish themselves with any brilliant plays and failed to score until the last half of the tenth. Mayor John Cook pitched the first ball and his honor had so much twist to it that the unfeeling ump called it a "ball." Mayor Cook received quite a volley of baseball "con" as he retired from the diamond, and his friends confidently predicted that he would have fanned the batter provided he had a little more practice in heaving the sphere. The Anaheim city band played during the afternoon and enlivened the occasion with fine selections. It is estimated that a crowd of about 400 witnessed the game.

YORBA STORM WATER DISTRICT WILL BE DISINCORPORATED People incensed at its Formation and Are Anxious to Vote It Out of Existence People in the Yorba storm water district are anxiously awaiting the opportunity to vote on disincorporation. The date set for the election is Saturday, March 20th, and the polling place will be at the Commonwealth school house. The election will be practically unanimous for disincorporation of the district. The trustees, Messrs. Goodwin, Rogera and Coman, state that the district was formed without the consent of the people and that they intend to vote it out of existence at the first opportunity. They claim that he consequent tax rate that would be imposed upon them, should the district endeavor to put improvements in the river bed, would be too heavy for them to bear and would, perhaps, be prohibitive. The people in the main are unalterably opposed to the storm water district and want none of it. The trustees, who voice the sentiments of 95 per cent of the people, state the district will be abolished.

Swartzkopensky is a lieutenant in the Russian army, or was until his expulsion therefrom in 1895, when he was dismissed from the army and ordered tried by court marshal for refusing to obey orders of his superior officer to have his company fire into a procession of people numbering 200,000 who were in the Nevsky Prospect on their way to the Winter Palace to demand of the Czar better conditions effecting them and the Russian people. While many other officers obeyed instructions and ordered their men to fire, Swartzkopensky refused, and for that he was ordered into perpetual exile. It is said that 15,000 people were thus ruthlessly slaughtered. The day is known as bloody Sunday. Swartzkopensky was taken to prison, and following his court martial was ordered to the military prison at Kara for life. With many other prisoners he was compelled to walk the entire distance, some 2500 miles to his living tomb. This is the usual custom in Russia. All prisoners exiled to Siberia, and there are millions of them, he says, are compelled to walk. Hardships along the journey are most trying and bitter, food being scant in supply and covering light despite the intensity of the cold. At Kara he was thrown into a dungeon with many other prisoners. He remained in Siberia for two years, being shackled in heavy irons from the time he left St. Petersburg. For eleven months during these two years he was placed in solitary confinement in a cell six feet long by four feet wide. A small aperture high above him afforded his only light, and he was compelled under the rules, to spend his time walking up and down his solitary place of confinement, being forbidden to talk forever to a single human being. His first meal was served at noon, and was passed to him through a small aperture in the wall. The meal consisted of a bowl of soup and a piece of bread, and he was permitted to sit down an hour during discussion of this regal feast. At one o'clock his keeper came to take the dish away, and he began again his solitary treadmill torture. At six he was given a bowl of soup for supper.
