THE GHOST OF THE COAST BOULEVARD Advocates of the coast boulevard, which was some weeks ago laid quietly to rest after an acrimonious discussion extending over a period of several months, have revived the wrath and for several days past have been industriously parading it in the lowland districts of the county. Not even the fact that the Bolsa Chica gun club demands $140,000 for right of way through its property seems to exert a deterring influence upon them, nor yet has the fact that it will probably cost more than this proposed bond issue to construct the boulevard had a similar effect. Added to this colossal sum which the Bolsa Chica gun club asks for right of way through its property must be the charge for bridging the body of water which empties into the ocean at this point. It seems to us the time is not opportune for this large bond issue at the present moment, yet there seems to be a determined notion on the part of the coast boulevardiers to put the county to the expense of calling the election. Whether they shall succeed in inducing the supervisors to commit themselves to this policy is a matter which we are inclined to doubt. That the bonds would be overwhelming.

It seems to us the time is not opportune for this large bond issue at the present moment, yet there seems to be a determined notion on the part of the coast boulevardiers to put the county to the expense of calling the election. Whether they shall succeed in inducing the supervisors to commit themselves to this policy is a matter which we are inclined to doubt. That the bonds would be overwhelmingly defeated throughout the county admits of very little question at this writing. It will be recalled that Mr. Newland of the highway commission, in filling his minority report to the board of supervisors, three months ago, suggested the calling of an election for an additional issue of half a million of road bonds, all, or nearly all, of which was to be applied to the coast boulevard, and only one per cent of the amount was allotted to the third district which pays 48 per cent of the county's taxes. Mr. Newland had not been in accord with his associates on the highway commission, for he had asked for $160,000 out of the surplus then in the hands of the commission, for work upon the boulevard, but this Commissioners' McFadden and Pixley would not agree to. They offered Mr. Newland $25,000 of the surplus of $246,000 for road work in the second district. He thereupon refused further to affiliate with them, and subsequently brought in his minority report, asking for another half-million dollars of bonds. The followed the appearance of the coast boulevardiers before the board of supervisors, and in response to questioning by Chairman Talbert, the board was promised a solid vote of the coast strip, which polls a negligible strength of the county's vote. Instead of approving the majority report of Commissioners McFadden and Pixley, Mr. Talbert asked that the matter go over to the Yorba Linda meeting of the associated chambers of commerce for an expression of opinion was immediate expression of opinion was immediately forthcoming and the associated chambers went unmistakably on record as favoring the majority report, and as unequivocally dissenting from Mr. Newland's proposition. Then Mr. Wallace of Newport Beach, did his ground-and-lofty tumbling stunt, changing his vote from nay to aye, and giving notice that he would call the matter up for reconsideration a month hence at the meeting in Palm Beach.

THE CIVIC CENT As a matter of birth with a civic of the old civil center for that purpose. ago, when Anahel minds of sturdy plcisco, a civic cenclus of their plan were laid out both Santa Ana streets center and to insip life.

Then Mr. Wallace of Newport Beach, did his ground-and-lofty tumbling stunt, changing his vote from nay to aye, and giving notice that he would call the matter up for reconsideration a month hence at the meeting at Balboa. He failed to bring the matter up at this meeting, and coolly declared that he would defer action for another month. Meantime the board of supervisors adopted an amended report submitted by the highway commission which was satisfactory to all concerned, and work upon paying highways therein recommended is now progressing. When all things seem serene, and not a ripple appeared to mar the beautiful prospect, here come the coast boulevardiers with the ghost of the coast boulevard asking the associated chambers of commerce for an expression of opinion as to the best method of recusitating the corpse. We suggest that it be permitted to remain quietly at rest. We do not think the people care to bond themselves for half a million dollars for the coast boulevard at this time, and we do not think they desire to pay the Bolsa Chica gun club $140,000 for something over a mile of right of way through its property. The idea seems to us to be absurd and preposterous. What are those coast boulevardiers talking about? We have had quite enough of Mr. Wallace and his funny associates of the clan of the coast boulevarders. MODIFIED DECISION A modification of its original order, in which it held that oil pipeline companies of California were common carriers and that they could not refuse to transport oil offered by other concerns facturers association, who made a trip throughout the county boosting a new advertising scheme called "Dollar Day," the same being Saturday, April 3. On that day every merchant of the county seat will give special dollar bargains to all customers. Following is the itinerary of the automobile parade: City Hall, Santa Ana, to Tustin, three miles; to El Modena, three miles; to Orange, three miles; to Olive four miles; to Placentia, five miles; to Fullerton, three miles; to Anaheim three miles. The trip to Anaheim, where luncheon was served, was twenty four miles. Leaving Anaheim at 1 o'clock in the afternoon, the automobiles went to Garden Grove, six miles; Westminster, six and a half miles; Huntington Beach, seven and a half miles; Fairview, six miles; Newport Beach, four miles, Balboa, two miles; Delhi, 11 miles; Santa Ana two miles. Approximately seventy miles was made on the trip. The party rolled into this city at 12 o'clock making the welkin ring with yells. The chamber of commerce drum corps, which headed the procession also made itself heard on numerous occasions. R. L. Bisby, was the megaphone man and announced the occasion of the display. After lunch on the Oyster Loaf and Cherry Blossom the party left at 1 o'clock for Garden Grove. There were sixty machines and in the neighborhood of 300 people in the procession. The machines were plastered with banners inviting the people to go over and visit their neighbors at the county seat. Frank Kell, one of the big grain dealers, says he would not be surprised to see wheat sell for 50 cents a bushel within a year from this time. He says the key to the situation is the Dardanelles, and that its opening will flood the world with cheap wheat. Try a Gazette Classified.—They Pay Joe Wagner regain a fine barbecue at on Sunday.

Wardlow at Talbert on March 19, 1914. The upper court judges, James, Conrey and Shaw, handed down an Local Notes Candidates for the two positions to be filled on the high school board tomorrow, so far as announced, are E. E. Angoll, J. Leslie Swopo and Alex H. Wittmaan, Jr. Mr. Angell is chairman of the board at present. Mr. Gervals, the retiring secretary, is not a candidate for re-election. The high school is the polling place. Tomorrow is election day. Trustees are to be elected for both the high and grammar schools. The retiring members of the high school board are President E. E. Angell and Secretary D. Gervals. Mrs. J. W. Wallop's term as member of the grammar school board expires. Phil Germann has a system all his own when it comes to dealing with itinerant peddlers. He has a placard in his front yard, "No peddlers allowed." The other day one of the gentry came to the back door and offered to demonstrate a certain article he was selling. Phil asked him if he could read, and if so, why he did not pay heed to the sign in the front yard. The fellow averred he was just a little above the common peddler and insisted upon showing his wares. Phil lost his patience, and exclaiming that all peddlers looked alike to him, grabbed the fellow, swung him around, and planted his No. 10's in rapid succession in the region of the seat of the peddler's trousers. The fellow beat a hasty retreat and the chances are that Phil's reputation as a bouncer among the peddler fraternity has spread far and wide, and that he will not be troubled further. Mayor Ey war in town from Santa Ana this week to visit friends in this city this week. She is a teacher in the city schools. Miss Mabel McNealy of Los Angeles, was visiting friends in this city this week.

Everybody plan to c day, April 3—You are Glad Hand extended MUST SERVE 10-YEAR SENTENCE By sustaining the judgment of Superior court, the appellate court has decreed that Epitaclo Valenzuela must serve out his 10-year sentence in San Quentin for the slaying of Delbert D. Wardlow at Talbert on March 19, 1914. The upper court judges, James Conrey and Shaw, handed down an opinion in which they state that the claims for reversal hung upon a slender thread. It was found that the trial judge gave the jury the long approved instructions upon the doctrine of reasonable doubt, and refused to give an elaborate instruction prepared by the defendant's attorneys. The appellate judges find that no error was committed in the refusal to give the instructions asked for. Delbert Wardlow was killed at Valenzuela's home at Talbert. The evidence showed that Valenzuela kept a blind plg. Delbert Wardlow and his father and a cowboy named Stafford were at this place on the night of March 19, 1914. Delbert shapped or struck a Mexican named Vasquez. Valenzuela took up the quarrel. Valenzuela and Delbert went on the porch, and there several shots were fired at Delbert by Valenzuela and Vasquez. Stafford saw the shooting. Vasquez escaped. Valenzuela was tried, and the jury found him guilty of manslaughter. Judge West gave Valenzuela the limit sentence for manslaughter, ten years. THE CIVIC CENTER OF ANAHEIM As a matter of fact, Anaheim was born with a civic center. The heart of the old civic center is again offered for that purpose. About fifty years ago, when Anaheim was born in the minds of sturdy pioneers of San Francisco, a civic center formed the nucleus of their plans. To this end lots were laid out between Sycamore and Santa Ana streets to form the civic center and to inspire a healthy civic life. These facts were assigned to the pioneers by lot. The word "clivic" pertains to a good citizen, a distinction that is not vain glorious or vaunting, but which represents an organized community reduced to good order, subject to stable government, civilized all peddlers looked alike to him, grabbed the fellow, swung him around, and planted his No. 10's in rapid succession in the region of the seat of the peddler's trousers. The fellow beat a hasty retreat and the chances are that Phil's reputation as a bouncer among the peddler fraternity has spread far and wide, and that he will not be troubled further. Mayor Ey war in town from Santa Ana this week on a visit to friends and former neighbors. Mayor Ey will not be a candidate for re-election, having determined to retire to private life. Thirty-two years ago this month he was elected member of the board of city trustees of this city and served eight years, proving himself to be a worthy member of the board. He subsequently moved to Santa Ana, and was similarly honored in that city. He served eight years upon the board of trustees at the county seat, and for four years past he been mayor of the town. Few men in the county have longer or more distinguished service to their credit. Flowering trees are plentiful and varied in California, consequently are not much of a curiosity, but there is one standing on the lawn of the Hahn place, on South Los Angeles street, that deserves mention. It is called the "Bridal Veil Genesta," and was planted twelve year ago by Mrs. Hahn, who got the plant from John Lewis Childs, the New York florist. It is now 15 feet high and branches over a wide space. It is covered completely with white blossoms which grow on stems several inches long and droop like the leaves of the weeping willow. The orange blossom is noted for its sweet scent, but it must take second place to the genista. A party consisting of Mr. and Mrs. Vie La Mont, Mr. and Mrs. C. Fisher, Mr. and Mrs. Fred Schneider, Mr. and Mrs. Edw. Schneider, Mr. and Mrs. Wm. Lake, Mr. and Mrs. Fred Maurer, Miss Clem Backs, Miss Blanche Mickle, and Oscar Schneider and Charles Kochler, spent a delightful outing at Seal Beach on Sunday. The party drove down to the coast in autos and during the day the contents of bountiful lunch baskets were discussed. The party returned home later, all declaring to have spent a jolly time. Mary L. Paschall, who was grant-miss Mabel McNealy of Los Angeles, was visiting friends in this city this week. She is a teacher in the city schools. George Hickerson, a prominent business man of New York city, has sold his business there and with his family will visit with his mother, Mrs. Julia A. Hickerson of 405 East Adela street, in this city. The Ecasternners will visit the world's fairs at San Francisco and other places of note. Mr. Hickerson may decide to locate here permanently. At a meeting of the Odd Fellows' lodge Tuesday evening Frank Machleb and A. Stoll were elected delegates to the grand lodge which meets in San Francisco on May 11. They will spend a week in the bay city, and in addition to performing their duties as good Odd Fellows they will see all the sights worth mentioning at the big fair. Bre'r Rabbit, with his numerous family of wives and children, has taken possession of one of the Heying Pharmacy's show windows and is attracting much attention, especially from the juvenile passers-by who are always interested in rabbit's eggs at this season. The display in the window is unique. It is designed to advertise an egg dye. Since last June County Clerk Williams and his deputies have issued 2875 hunting licenses. The clerk is making final settlement of the year with the State Fish and Game Commission. Hunting licenses are good from July 1 of one to June 30 of the next. Since there will be no further hunting until after the beginning of the next fiscal year, the clerk is making his final settlement for 1914-15. Fishing licenses run from January 1 to December 31. So far very few fishing licenses have been issued, though the trout season opens today. H. A. Dickel made a special effort to boost the olive yesterday which being California olive day should have been observed to some extent by all good citizens. Mr. Dickel had a large Joe Wagner regaled his friends with a fine barbecue at his Placentia home on Sunday. Beef and lamb were served and the affair was one of the most pleasurable events ever given by Mr. Wagner. About sixty guests were present, among those attending from this city being Mr. and Mrs. Quarton, Mr. and Mrs. Mullinix and Mr. and Mrs. Leslie Swope. Blessings have come to Anaheim through the old civic center. Now, after fifty years of existence, more good can come through the new civic center. New citizens will be found to crystallize around such a civic center as any good, progressive town ought to have. There is the first endowment of five hundred dollars of our good citizen, Mrs. Langenberger, waiting, and more will follow after the Center is established. The library represents many valuable donations, which are sacred facts and memorials. These were inspired by civic and human interests. People gathering in the park that may be established on this site will receive something in this inspiration from these noble forefathers and mothers. Let us not miss this splendid opportunity that now knocks at our doors. The situation is now right to start. Further plans and details can be carried out as times permit. But, establish, start the civic center now! Procure the site. A CITIZEN Wm. Lake, Mr. and Mrs. Fred Maurer, Miss Clem Backe, Miss Blanche Mickle, and Oscar Schneider and Charles Kochler, spent a delightful outing at Seal Beach on Sunday. The party drove down to the coast in autos and during the day the contents of bountiful lunch baskets were discussed. The party returned home later, all declaring to have spent a jolly time. Mary L. Paschall, who was granted an interlocutory decree of divorce from Duke A. Paschall on August 7, 1914, has not been paid $15 per month by Duke Paschall as ordered by the court at the time of granting the interlocutory decree, and has petitioned for payment of $70 alleged now due on the amount. Fred Betts has fully recovered from an operation, a fistula being the cause of the trouble. He was on the retired list for a couple of weeks, but is now again attending to duties as foreman of one of the orange orchards in Placentia. Rain on Sunday and Sunday evening added 39 to the season's precipitation, according to Mr. Dickel's guage, bringing the total for the season up to 17.56. Last year to date was 17.28. Earl Steadman and Dick Nemetz spent several days at Victorville last week, visiting former Anaheimers now living in that thriving neighborhood. Mrs. A. R. Perry of Pasadena was visiting with relatives here the forepart of the week. N. B. Tedford has the contract to build Levi Mann's new apartment house. Earl Steadman and Otto Rees are among the expert mechanics on the job. Sunday next is Easter and a charming display of spring millinery at all the churches is expected. Dried figs, flour, beer, whiskey, fine wines, meat grinder, and other items of provisions and household articles were found in a gunny sack on the person of Harry Contef, who was brought to the county jail from Seal Beach Tuesday morning. Officers at the beach town located the man and held him on suspicion, notifying the sheriff's office.

Let the Gazette Do Your Job Printing man and booty to Santa Ana, putting the former in the custody of the sheriff, and the latter in the county jail. It is supposed from the character of the articles in the sack that they were stolen from the house of some wealthy resident of the beach town. Officers are now making an investigation. Mrs. W. A. Luce who has been living in Nebraska for a year or more past, has returned to Anaheim and now resides on South Los Angeles street. GOLD IN MADERA Two big gold strikes have just been made in Madera county, one by the Manzanita and Madera Mining company, operating near North Fork, and the other by J. W. Elder of Visalia and his associates, just over the Fresno county line, near the Mud Springs mine, owned by Truman G. Hart of Fresno. The extent of the strikes is not yet known, but information received in Fresno recently was to the effect that several hundred thousand dollars' worth of gold was in sight at the Manzanita mine, while about $75,000 is already in sight at the Elder mine. Col D. M. DeLong of Coalinga, one of the owners of the Manzanita mine, is now at the property and in conversation over the telephone confirmed the report that had been received here regarding his big strike.

Trains will leave Anaheim as follows: North Bound South Bound 6.05 A.M. 7.50 A.M. 7:20 A.M. 9:06 A.M. 9:27 A.M. 2:02 P.M. 11:44 A.M. 3:42 P.M. 3:57 P.M. 6:14 P.M. 5:40 P.M. 9:13 P.M. 1:40 P.M. 1:00 P.M. made a special effort the yesterday which, alive day, should have some extent by all Dickel had a large play in his window, the olive being especified. made a fatal miscarried to this county theft of a motorcycle, for he is an orange County chain drive to serve the bal- expired six-months having been served.

It is estimated that by the earliest day that peace possibly can come there will be in Europe, more than two and a half million war-made widows, and more than six million seven hundred thousand fatherless children. That is the computation of Hamilton Holt, editor of the Independent. The fact that the figures were submitted at a peace meeting held in Chicago should not detract from their meaning even in the eyes of those who regard war as beneficial to the human race. It is impossible to compute statistically the grief, misery and want necessarily involved in these amazing totals. Hunger and suffering do not lend themselves to the processes of arithmetic. Blasted homes are not to be expressed in algebraic symbols, and stunted lives are not to be interpreted by mathematics. NEW SANTA FE TIME TABLE The Santa Fe will put in effect April 4th a new Time Table. Trains will leave Anaheim as follows: North Bound South Bound 6.05 A.M. 7.50 A.M. 7:20 A.M. 9:06 A.M. 9:27 A.M. 2:02 P.M. 11:44 A.M. 3:42 P.M. 3:57 P.M. 6:14 P.M. 5:40 P.M. 9:13 P.M. 9:40 P.M. 1:08 A.M. This schedule readjusts the present one and gives Anaheim three additional trains. The new train to Los Angeles at 9:27 a.m. will fill a long-felt want. On the whole the new schedule ought to be popular as it gives trains both ways throughout the entire day. Secretary of State Bryan has declared that hereafter the olive branch should be the emblem of peace instead of the dove. He says: "The olive is the hardy tree which survived the deluge, and when the dove carried his message to Noah it was a tribute to the tree as well as a message of peace. The olive branch from time immemorial has been associated with the dove as emblematic of peace; but as the fruit is greater than the branch, the California ripe olive should have its fame linked not only with peace, but prosperity and abundance." They are painting the Brooklyn bridge again. This work has to be done every four years, and it takes eight months to finish the job at a cost of $50,000.
