VOLUME XXXXV ANAHEIM HIGH WINS COUNTY TRACKMEET EASY VICTORY FOR THE LOCAL SCHOOL IN THE ANNUAL CONTEST SATURADY PLAVIN, OF SANTA ANA, GETS BOARD OF TRADE CUP FOR BEST INDIVIUAL SCORE The Result Anaheim . . . 56 Santa Ana . . . 41 Orange . . . 21 Fullerton . . . 12 Huntington Beach . . . 1 Three records were broken in the Orange county high school track meet held on the local field Saturday, and high scores were made in almost every event. Jack Doty of Anaheim, the champion javlin man of the Southland, hurled the shaft 155 feet, which is several feet beyond the previous Anaheim champions would win, consequently the local rooters contented themselves with a mild cheer of approval at opporune periods, with an occasional rendition of a stanza of that classical song, "You Can't Beat Anaheim," which is becoming more popular every day. If the moving picture artists who were making photos of the stunts and the crowd for the San Francisco and San Diego fairs, could reproduce the colors of the costumes and the myriads of flags waving in the grand stands they would have an immortal picture, but the machine refuses to register color. The first event on the program was the mile run. Anaheim was not expecting much out of this although Clabaugh is making a good record in the long distance. But Clabaugh's heart rebelled before he reached the home stretch and he was forced to drop out. This was won by Hickey of Orange, with Halderman of Santa Ana second and Swan of Huntington Beach third. Time 4 min. 40 3-5 s. There was no uncertainty about the 100-yard dash. Anaheim had won three firsts in the preliminaries. Webb and Douglas galloped over the ground in first and second place with ease. Criddle of Santa Ana, being third. Time, 10.2. The 120 high hurdles was a Santa Ana victory. Martinet had qualified BOARD OF COMMISSIONER CAMPAIGN STARTER MEMBERSHIP THOUSAND FORTY MEN ON THE WORK TO WIND SUMPTUGLU If you meet a man on the public highway in the church or any business house, who asks you to join is would be wisdom pungle up $5 and autumn your name to the cause there are 39 other orated who are camp who are bent on many citizens members of and one of them will Three records were broken in the Orange county high school track meet held on the local field Saturday, and high scores were made in almost every event. Jack Doty of Anaheim, the champion Javlin man of the Southland, hurled the shaft 155 feet, which is several feet beyond the previous record. This was the first throw made and Doty set a mark that none could equal. Chamberlain came within two feet of it and Plavin fell short less than six feet, both making remarkable records. In the pole vault Keeney of Santa Ana broke the record of 10 ft. 4 in. by clearing the bar at a height of 10.6. His record in the contest was 10.2, the high jump being made afterward. Pettigrew of Fullerton, shattered the previous record by a small margin in the shot put. He heaved the 12-pound shot 44 ft 7 1-2 inches. While it was conceded Anaheim would win the contest nobody expected that she would have such an easy victory. There are bright particular stars among the other teams who were expected to roll up some good records and divide the score more evenly, but it was good work in every event that gave Anaheim her high total. Ernest Plavin of Santa Ana, was the most brilliant star of the meet, chalking up 18 points for his team. If some calamity had overtaken Plavin previous to the meet—if he had broken a limb in a preliminary tryout, had been selzed with appendicitis or infantile paralysis, or had wandered off the trail on his way to this city Saturday morning, Santa Ana would have taken rank among the tail enders and Anaheim would have made more points than all the balance of the schools combined. In the preliminary tryouts in the morning, Anaheim won seven firsts in the thirteen stunts pulled off. This was held for the purpose of eliminating the weak, as the entrants were too numerous to enter the finals in a body. In the three sections in the 100-yard dash, Douglass, Webb and Kemp each took a first, each making the remarkable time of 10.2. Hill and Criddle of Santa Ana, and Williamson of Orange, were seconds in this contest. In the first section tryout for the 50-yard dash, Criddle of Santa Ana was first and Kemp of Anaheim second. Time 5.3. In the second so-called record was 40 3-5 s. There was no uncertainty about the 100-yard dash. Anaheim had won three firsts in the preliminaries. Webb and Douglas galloped over the ground in first and second place with ease. Criddle of Santa Ana, being third. Time 10.2. The 120 high hurdles was a Santa Ana victory. Martenet had qualified for the race in the morning, but failed to get within reach of the money at the finals. Hammaker of Santa Ana, was first with Criddle second and Johnston of Fullerton third. Time 17.1. The 440-yard dash was a different story. Anaheim getting six points out of it. Douglass came in a good first, with Everett of Orange second, and Gregg third. Time 53.3. The 50-yard dash was a close one. Webb and Plavin ran neck and neck, and to the eye of the spectator it looked like they struck the tape simultaneously, but the judges decided that Webb's nose was a little longer than Plavin's and they gave him first place, with Plavin second and Kemp of Anaheim third. Time 5.3. Williamson of Orange revived the dying hope of the white and gold roots and gave them an opportunity of tearing off a few chunks of noise, by winning the 220-yard dash, but Anaheim also ran. Megede coming in second and Douglass third. Time 24 flat. In the half-mile run Eddie Backs captured the prize without over-exertion. In fact, he crossed the line just as the balance of the bunch was rounding the corner into the home stretch. Hill of Santa Ana was second and Wellman of Anaheim third. Back's time, 28.4. The 220-yard low hurdles was a Santa Ana victory, Plavin walking off with first honors. Martenet was next in line, however, with Woods of Orange third. The time was 27.2. Hughes of Orange, won the high jump, his record being 5 ft. 5 3-5. Plavin was second, with Burkett and Fletcher tied for third place. In the shot put Pettigrew of Fullerton carried off the honors and made a county record, his distance being 44 ft. 7 1-2 in. Webb was the second man, and Huffman of Orange third.

In the second run Criddle and Hammacker of Santa Ana tied for first with Martenet third. Time 27.2. In the high hurdles Hammaker won in the first race, his time being 17.2 for 120 yards, Davis of Fullerton being second. In the second division Criddle was first, Johnson of Fullerton coming in second and Martinet third. When the field met at two o'clock in the afternoon for the final contest the entire high school population of Orange county appeared to be present. The Orange delegation was the most conspicuous, scores of pretty girls from that town, clothed in white and gold, being present. Santa Ana and Fullerton contestants were also supported by patriotic rooters, wearing the distinguishing colors of their schools and rending the atmosphere with their yells. Huntington Beach was weak, both in the bleechers and in the ring, but the Anaheim high school was present en masse, decorated with the black and gold that is making itself conspicuous on the Southland fields. The Anaheim contingent however, was temperate in its applause probably out of consideration for the visitors. It was foreordained that the Hughes of Orange, won the high jump, his record being 5 ft. 5 3-5. Plavin was second, with Burkett and Fletcher tied for third place. In the shot put Pettigrew of Fullerton carried off the honors and made a county record, his distance being 44 ft. 7 1-2 in. Webb was the second man, and Huffman of Orange third. Keeney of Santa Ana, easily won the pole vault, his record being 10.2 in the contest. This he afterward raised in a tryout for the county championship to 10.6, which broke the previous record. West of Fullerton was second, and Gaxiola of Anaheim, third. Although Morris Martenet was handicapped and hoooded by the number 13 by which he was entered in the several events, he landed first in the discus throw with a record of 97 feet. Webb of Anaheim was second and Keeney of Santa Ana third. Jack Doty opened the contest in the javelin throw by hurling the spear 155 feet in his initial try. This broke the previous record and set a mark that none could equal. Chamberlain got within two feet, giving him second place and Plavin was only six feet behind, but neither could reach the mark. Although no extraordinary high record was made in the broad jump, Anaheim was not in it for a point. Plavin was the high man with a jump of 20 feet 7 inches, with Davis of Fullerton second, and Trago of Santa Ana, third. The relay race, which wound up the contest was the most exciting stunt of the day. It was conceded that Anaheim would win this race, but the other schools made a desperate effort for second place. Kemp, Webb, Douglass and Martenet were the Anaheim contestants. Kemp shot ahead from the start and had a good lead when he passed up to Webb. Webb increased the distance between him and his nearest competitor. He was twenty feet ahead when Douglas took up the Continued on page eight. Geo. L. Deltrich.

Relative to the trip exposition May 12, the transportation came soon.The committee entertain a suggestion asking $3.05 for whether the train be right, or whether in were sold. The committee repeated rates by water round trip from Anaheim and thence by either yard or Yale to The Water trip was for while others prefer trip in a body. These matters are considered by the committee determination will be near future. ANAHEIM CALIFORNIA, THURSDAY, MARCH 18, 1915 BOARD OF TRADE COMMITTEES GET BUSY CAMPAIGN STARTED TO INCREASE MEMBERSHIP TO HALF A THOUSAND BOOSTERS FORTY MEN ON THE JOB, THEIR WORK TO WIND UP WITH A SUMPTUOUS FEED If you meet a man on the street, on the public highway, in your home, in the church or any public building or business house, who is decorated with a red card declaring that he is a member of the Anaheim board of trade, and who asks you to Join that association, is would be wisdom on your part to pungle up $5 and authorize him to add your name to the roll forthwith, because there are 39 others similarly decorated who are bent on making all desirable citizens members of that organization, and one of them will surely get you. PAVING OLIVE ROAD A bid for paving the road between this city and Olive was awarded by the board of supervisors on Tuesday to Hart & Dusey, the amount being $7,550.50. Work upon the road will begin immediately. Three bids were received, that of Hart & Dusey being the lowest. ANAHEIM DEFEATS SIERRA MADRE NINE A Fair Crowd Sees Local Team Defeat Foothillers by Score of 2 to 1 In a very good ball game on Sunday afternoon at the new ball park the Anaheim team defeated the Sierra Madre nine by the close score of 2 to 1. The teams goose-egged each other until the seventh inning. Ted Salveon and Pettigrew each singled nicely and worked around to the second and third bases. The fans were getting hoarse yelling at the turn of events, when Bleecker stepped to the plate. He swatted the first ball pitched to him for a two-bagger, scoring Salveon and Pettigrew. The noise made MONEY COMING IN TO PAY BILLS STORM WATER DISTRICT FACES OBLIGATIONS AMOUNTING TO ABOUT $350 IF ACCOUNTS ARE NOT PAID, AN ASSESSMENT OF PROPERTY MAY BE RESULT That the evil which men do lives after them is illustrated in the case of the recently dissolved storm water district, which was voted out of existence at a recent election, 783 to 82, and which, while automatically in the discard, has left in its wake a train of bills, which may yet rise to plague taxpayers. Those bill were incurred by the two elections called in the district, one to elect trustees and the other to disorganize, for election supplies, attorney's fees, printing and so forth. The account was presented to the board of supervisors for payment business house, who is decorated with a red card declaring that he is a member of the Anaheim board of trade, and who asks you to join that association, is would be wisdom on your part to pungle up $5 and authorize him to add your name to the roll forthwith, because there are 39 others similarly decorated who are camping on your trail, who are bent on making all desirable citizens members of that organization, and one of them will surely get you. These people believe that the best way to boost Anaheim is to boost the board of trade and increase its membership and to that end a campaign has been inaugurated which, it is expected, will add 200 or 300 names to the list. Some weeks ago there was sprung at a meeting of the board a proposition to appoint two committees of twenty members each to go forth into the highways and byways and solicit membership. The board of trade is the initial booster club of the city, and the larger its membership the better are its facilities for effective work. It is believed that a membership of 500 can be secured before the end of the year. Chairman Krause appointed H. P. Noll and E. C. Dutton captains of the two campaign teams and they were authorized to choose their own assistants.. Following are the names of the two committees: H. P. Noll, chairman; F. C. Krause, Prof. E. W. Hauck, J. L. Swope, C. L. Swope, A. A. Mills, W. E. Wortman, H. A. Dickel, Wm. Stark, F. N. Gibbs, J. H. Cook, H. E. W. Barnes, J. S. Howard, S. W. Todd, J. S. Mauer, Jno Ziegler, C. A. Barrett, C. W. Pendleton, Herman Stern, S. Newnes, W. E. Duckworth. E. C. Dutton, chairman; J. W. Duckworth, H. M. Adams, J. F. Ahilborn, Chas. Eygabroad, E. R. Abbey, H. G. Ames, G. W. Closson, Louis Bushard, F. K. Gresswell, V. W. La Mont, H. C. Inskeep, F. A. Yungbluth, G. M. Simpson, H. V. Welsel, M. E. Beebe, C. E. Holcomb, C.R.Prince, R.E.Vaughan, Geo.L.Deltrich. Tuesday was the day fixed for beginning active work by the two committees. It was declared a red-letter day and both committees started out with a determination to gather in every man who has a spark of enterprise and loyalty to his home in his system. On Saturday, May 1, the two committees will meet and submit their lists and the one having the smallest number of new members to its credit will provide a banquet for the whole. Annaheim team defeated the Sierra Madre nine by the close score of 2 to 1. The teams goose-egged each other until the seventh inning. Ted Salveson and Pettigrew each single nicely and worked around to the second and third bases. The fans were getting hoarse yelling at the turn of events when Bleecker stepped to the plate. He swatted the first ball pitched to him for a two-bagger, scoring Salveson and Pettigrew. The noise made by the local rooters in consequence would make a bunch of Comanche Indians feel like the proverbial six carafes. This was all the run-getting for the locals. In the first half of the ninth Sierra Madre lads took a new lease of life and sent a man over the plate, with good prospects of one or two more, but fate seemed to be against them and the side was retired and the game was ended. Dick Bayless umplied the game, and gave the fans the real article. Jerry Rentria distinguished himself by hitting the ball safely three times in four times up, but was unable to score. He is a good base runner and made as pretty a steal to second as has ever been seen on a local diamond. He plays center field and is ever in the game, covering all intervening space between right and left field, and would not be averse to coming into the inner garden to help catch a fly. Jerry is all right, and it is said he may go higher up. HARTUNG REACHES 57th MILESTONE And Mrs. Hartung Celebrates the Event by Giving Him a Surprise Although only the immediate friends of the family were present the birthday dinner given by Mrs.John Hartung to her husband Sunday, was an enjoyable affair. It was Mr.Hartung's 57th anniversary.Mrs.Hartung had been secretly making preparations for some days, but it came as a complete surprise to her husband who had not the slightest suspicion of what was going on under his nose. There was another present at this entertainment who divided bonors with Mr.Hartung. This was his nephew, E.Eugene Rothschild, of Seattle, who has been enjoying the Southern California climate for a couple of weeks past。他被一个嘉宾 at the Harvest Bank as well as other bills。How long the district would continue in existence with these matters hanging in the balance it is impossible to say，但 that he amounts would run up to $1000 or $2000 is easily to be expected。Property owners refusing to pay their as district，which was voted out of existence at a recent election，783 to 82，and which，while automatically in the discard，has left in its wake a train of bills，which may yet rise to plague taxpayers。These bill were incurred by the two elections called in the district，一组 elect trustees and other to disorganize，for election supplies，atorney's fees，printing and so forth.The account was presented to the board of supervisors for payment but the board dodged and side-stopped.A committee is now out soliciting subscriptions for liquidating the claims,and about $200 has been secured.it was said yesterday that collections are coming in slowly，and that probably enough will be secured to pay off these obligations，even though claimants may have to shave their bills down a bit to come within the available money. The district was formed by the board of supervisors some months ago，over the protest of a large number of east side property owners，who opposed the district vigorously，and sought to have their property excluded therefrom.Their protest was disregarded，但 after formation of the district，a number of west side property owners were excluded on paying sums amounting to their prorata of a $10,000 taxThis money is to be refunded to them on final disorganization of the district. Max Nebelung，一名 of the district's trustees，said yesterday that if enough money were not secured by subscription to pay all bills,the amounts would be refunded to subscribers，unless creditors were agreed to acceptance of a horizontal cut and that in that event it would be up to the creditors to bring suit against the district in superior court for settlement.In that case,the superior court，他 said，would be required under the law to name a reference，whose duty it would be to levy an assessment upon property in the district in sufficient volume to pay all claims，和 to collect such amounts. In case property owners refuse to pay a delinquent tax would probably be necessary，and this would cost more money，或 perhaps a sufficient amount would be included in the levy to meet this as well as other bills。How long the district would continue in existence with these matters hanging in the balance it is impossible to say，但 that he amounts would run up to $1000 or $2000 is easily to be expected。Property owners refusing to pay their as Tuesday was the day fixed for beginning active work by the two committees. It was declared a red-letter day and both committees started out with a determination to gather in every man who has a spark of enterprise and loyalty to his home in his system. On Saturday, May 1, the two committees will meet and submit their lists and the one having the smallest number of new members to its credit will provide a banquet for the whole. All the new members added will be required to pay a year’s dues before that date or the committee will not be credited with them. A meeting was held Monday night for the purpose of completing arrangements for the campaign, and it was decided to go forth the next day and gather in all the strays who ought to be members of that body. There are a number of ranchers who have signified their intention of joining, and many of them will be added to the roll. Relative to the trip to the San Diego exposition May 12, the manner of transportation came up for discussion. The committee on transportation had intended chartering a special train over the Santa Fe of from five to eight coaches and disposing of tickets at a low rate of $3.05 which the railroad company charged for the round trip. The company refused to entertain a suggestion for lower rates, asking $3.05 for each passenger, whether the train be chartered outright, or whether individual tickets were sold. The committee reported it had obtained rates by water at $2.50 for the round trip from Anaheim to San Pedro and thence by either the steamer Harvard or Yale to the exposition city. This water trip was favored by many, while others prefer an automobile trip in a body. These matters are now under consideration by the committee, and final determination will be made in the near future. BOOSTER MEETING Members of various Knights of Pythias lodges in the county met at Fullerton Thursday evening and held a rousing booster meeting. A large crowd assembled and the booster spirit was contagious. All became imbued with the community progressiveness and good results were attained, not only in fraternal circles but in matters looking to the betterment of things generally. Quite a delegation from this city attended and helped to spread the booster germ. These meetings are held at different places in the county every three weeks, and are always well attended. Much good will be gained by the united action in public affairs and the Anaheim contingent can be relied upon to do their share of boosting. J. W. Duckworth, G. W. Hamler, F. C. Krause and J. H. Clabaugh were in Los Angeles Monday endeavoring to arrange for the board of trade excursion to San Diego. Fred Marsh and wife are enjoying a visit from Fred's mother, who came down from Los Angeles last week. In case property owners refuse to pay a delinquent tax would probably be necessary, and this would cost more money, or perhaps a sufficient amount would be included in the levy to meet this as well as other bills. How long the district would continue in existence with these matters hanging in the balance it is impossible to say, but that he amounts would run up to $1000 or $2000 is easily to be expected. Property owners refusing to pay their assessment would have a cloud resting upon their titles, and until the district’s obligations were finally satisfied in full expenses would go on multiplying until it would take a fat bank account to get the people out of the hole. It is hardly thought probable that all this rigamarole will have to be resorted to, but unless money comes in to meet outstanding obligations there is not a man in the district who can tell what the final outcome will be. Property owners in the Yorba storm water district to the north of us, which will undoubtedly be voted out of existence at an election to be held Saturday of this week, are confronted by similar conditions. It would seem that before the board of supervisors created these districts some plan should have been devisee to render impossible the state of affairs now confronting both districts, it will be the part of wisdom for all property owners to contribute to the end that both districts may be legally set aside by order of the superior court. While a vote by the people to disorganize automatically places a district out of existence, yet creditors having claims against it may go into court, obtain judgment, which will be immediately confessed, and there will then follow a sequence of events that might impart an attack of cramps to the average taxpayer. Raymond Nebelung has been spending a few days at Laguna Beach. ZETTE. COMING PAY LS DISTRICT FACES MOUNTING TO $350 NOT PAID, AN OF PROPERTY RESULT FREE BAND CONCERTS IN THE NEAR FUTURE Anaheim City Band Arranging to Give Citizens Rare Musical Treats The Anaheim City Band is arranging to give free concerts commencing the near future. The members are anxious to have citizens come out in force and hear the music. They will never regret it. The band is the best in the county, and, in fact, none are classed better and few as good. The members are all residents of this city and immediate vicinity, and are soloists of ability. Prof. Walter Crowther is leader and is rated as one of the best musicians in the state. He is a fine cornetist, and has executive ability as a leader that has made his services much sought after by other musical organizations. The band is a credit to this city and is deserving of financial aid from the citizens, although the boys have not asked for any assistance as yet along that line. Come out and hear the music and the band members promise a rare program for each event. The city band will attend the Anaheim excursion to San Diego, and will enliven the occasion with their choicest selections. COUNCIL CLOSES STREETS IN S.P.

BOARD OF CITY TRUSTEES MEET IN ADJOURNED SESSION Award Contract to Westlinghouse Co. For New Electrical Equipment For $845.82 The board of city trustees met pursuant to adjournment on Monday evening and considered several bids presented for furnishing new electrical equipment for the power house. The bid of the Westinghouse company was accepted, being $845.82. There was a difference of $200 between that and the next lowest bid. There were present Trustees Cook, Stark, Hamler and Brunworth. Absent Trustee Schneider. Several small demands against the city were audited and ordered paid and the board adjourned. MOTOR TRUCK DEMOLISHES VEHICLE, INJURES MULE Animal Put out of Its Misery by Humane Officer H. W. Braden of this City A heavy motor truck being driven on the Montebello road the other day ran into a light wagon to which a mule was hitched and being driven by a Mexican, with the result that the animal was so badly injured that it had to be killed. Both vehicles were going in the same direction and when the motor truck driver sounded his horn the Mexican, it is said, turned directly into the path of the truck when the mule was almost disemboweled. H. W. Braden happened to be passing at the time, and being a humane officer, was asked to put the poor brute out of its misery. The Mexican got the mule upon its feet and the faithful animal, injured as badly as it was, followed its owner off the roadside and into a vacant lot, where it was shot by the humane officer.

G. W. Sandilands, manager of the Anaheim Citrus Fruit association, reports that he sold and shipped 400 sample boxes of oranges to various points in the eastern states. These were bought by people who wished to give their friends in the back-home frost bound region a sample of fruit ripened and gathered during the winter months. The oranges this season are of excellent quality and are grading well. C. M. Lockwood, wife and daughter Ruth, of Chamberlain, S. D., were visiting this week at the home of W. M. Wellman on East Center street. Bender & Silbernagle are at work upon the new residence of E. J. Hartung on Zeyn street. Cement foundations are in, and work is progressing upon the superstructure. The building will cost $2000, and will be a conspicuous adornment to that part of the city. Edward A. Schultz, who 25 years ago was a clerk in the postoffice under Mrs. Bate's administration, was in town this week on a visit to old-time friends. He is now a resident of Los Angeles, but lived for a number of years in the north. He sees many changes, but has run across a number of old-time acquaintances.
