BARBECUE TO BE AT NEWPORT BEACH ORANGE COUNTY WINE CO. WILL HOLD ITS PICNIC IN SIGHT OF OCEAN WAVES EXPECTS TO ENTERTAIN EIGHT HUNDRED GUESTS IN REGAL STLYE NEXT SUNDAY Believing that their guests would get more enjoyment out of a day spent on the brink of the sounding sea than they would strolling through the sequestered dels of the county park, the Orange County Wine company has decided to hold its annual barbecue at Newport Beach instead of in or near the park, as was heretofore announced. The beach offers many attractions that are lacking in an interior resort, no matter how beautiful and pleasant it may be. The 800 guests that are expected to be present can take their choice of many amusements. They can bask in the sunshine on the glistening sands when they tire of exercise, they can gambol with the restless breakers and get their feet wet, they can play hide and seek with the porpoises and seals that are said to have been tamed to such an extent that they come in to the shore line and beg for a handout, or, in the absence of their wives, they can flirt with the mermaids that daily promenade the sands when the weather is propitious.

Moreover the plenior can carry along a can of balt and have a cast for a basking shark if he feels an inclination to fish. Furthermore it is said that rattlesnakes have been seen in the county park, and the rattler is unpleasant company at a barbecue. There has been no other change in the arrangements for the barbecue as originally announced except to add a few stunts and perfect the details. A complete bill of fare has not been made public, but Manager Noll states that two overgrown beeves and ten sheep have been engaged for slaughter. The side dishes will consist of everything that the appetite of man can desire. The best cooks in Orange county will have charge of the barbecued baked meats and they will be served up in the most appetizing style possible. J. H. Cook, James Ortegal W. H. Houts, Pete Nicolas and William Schumacher are the cooks, and all who have been privileged to eat of their meats heretofore know what to expect. W. H. Fleischman is also connected with the culinary department as chief carver. The Anaheim band will accompany the party and furnish music during the day. There will be other music makers on the ground also, and speech-making will be one of the features of the occasion. A number of athletic and sporting stunts have been arranged, such as foot racing, jumping contests, boxing matches, etc. DeWitt Van Court, the noted Los Angeles sporting editor, has been engaged to referee the games. Boxing matches have been arranged between Red Matlis, the classy little Anaheim high school kid, and Danny Solomon, Jack Love and Battling Chico, Beryl Hattan and Henry Atwood, and Kid Iman and Kid Steele. This is the fourth annual barbecue given by the Orange County Wine company to its friends and it will be the biggest in point of attendance and the best from an entertainment standpoint.

Beckwell of Newport, has filed suit against S. L. Collins, alleging that he damaged her credit. She wants judgment for $5000 against him. Collins is plaintiff in an action for collection of a note for $1500. The defendant says that when the note was given Collins agreed that he would not hasten collection, though the note was only for sixty days. It is alleged in the cross complaint that Collins agreed to let the not go to February, 1916, but a few days later brought suit and caused an attachment to be levied on stock of the Collins Marine Supply Co. then held at the State Bank of Newport as collateral for the purchase of $1000 worth of merchandise. It is declared that the attachment upset the purchase and damaged the woman's credit. The person who keeps his money in his shoes has a poor banker when he wishes to borrow. Try the Anaheim National bank instead. Grayden Cage of Riverside, special agent of the census bureau at Washington, is in town gathering data of manufacturing establishments to be forwarded to the national capital. His field covers the counties of Orange, Riverside and San Bernardino and he will probably be in Orange county for several weeks. He will gather data from the five sugar factories in the county, as well as from other manufacturing establishments here.

The resolution addressed to the President follows: "While proud of our German ancestry, we know only one flag, the flag of our country, and we tender to you, the standard bearer, our undivided loyalty. "We have every confidence in your cool judgment, honest purpose and brave manhood, and are convinced that you would rather be right than President.

They hitched the horse on North Claudina street and proceeded to attend to their shropping. Presently an auto was driven into their rig and almost upset it. The young ladies were still near at hand and helped to rearrange matters and again proceeded on their way. Within a short time another autoist, evidently losing control of his gasoline wagon, collided with the buggy and knocked it over onto the sidewalk, damaging the running gear and causing the horse to become frightened and endeavor to break loose and run away. The young ladies were again told of the mishap and repaired to the scene of trouble. They were vexed at the second smashup, caused by the carelessness of the auto driver, whom they averred should take a ten-acre field to practice in with his chug wagon before he again ventures to drive upon a city street. Later in the afternoon the young ladies completed their shopping and returned to their homes without further incident. As an additional protection against forest fires in Southern California, 14 extra rangers are to be loaned to the forest bureau this summer by private interests and corporations and this will make 50 men at work south of the Tehachapi. It is stated that two of the extra men will be stationed in the Santa Ana canyon district, and that better arrangements than ever before possible will be made to protect this district.

TABLE LICENSE ON SUNDAY FOR NEW HOTEL Continued from Page 1 mittee of fifty this (Thursday) evening at the city hall to further consider these civic betterments. The trustees are ready to proceed with the new city hall project and it is confidently expected that some agreement with that end in view will be arrived at. Anaheim needs a new municipal building, but citizens are divided as to its location. Some prefer the present site, while others are in favor of grouping the buildings upon a central location. The civic center site can be purchased for about $65,000. A new hall can be erected for $35,000. It is probable that an agreement will be arrived at whereby voters will be given opportunity to vote upon the contemplated bond issue with these items segregated. Some are in favor of applying the whole sum upon the civic center site, while other citizens are opposed to the new site, but favor bonds for a new hall upon the old site on Center street now in use. It is very probable that the bond election will be called, giving the people a chance to express themselves by ballot. Several small building permits were granted among them being a $1200 ANAHEIM DEFEATED IN A SWIFT GAME The Anheuser-Busch Team Carried a Rabbit Foot and was Irresistible Billiman was responsible for the defeat of Brandenberg’s colts Sunday. Billiman is the pitcher who came down from Los Angeles with the Anheuser Busch team. He posed as a member of that aggregation although he wore a shining breastplate as large as a Panama hat announcing that he was the property of the Universal Film Co. Notwithstanding he was up against a bunch of heavy stickers Billiman retired 14 men and permitted only three hits. The Anaheim manager found himself short four men when the hour arrived for the game to start, even Captain Mott being absent, but Manager Murphy of the comedians generously offered to make up the deficiency from his team. He called Tyree, Slato, Hank and Gasset from the grand stand and ordered them to get into uniform. Gasset played first, Hank second, Tyree third and Slato left field. The line up was not weakened by this substitution of men, as the Murphys are all excellent ball players. The line-up of the two teams was as follows: Anaheim—Tyree 3b, McLean ss, Vetter rf, Perry p, Slato, lf, Hank 2b, NEWSPAPERS OF FORMER DAYS PRESERVED Continued from Page 1 Schoonmaker, Junior, Rochester." There was war in Europe at that time, of course. These were the uneasy days when Napoleon dominated the world. Here is an account of a conflict headed "The Battle of Zurich" dated London, Oct. 18, nearly three months prior to its publication: "We learn from private letters that the accounts of the Inspector, slope of war, received some days ago, were so far founded that a partial engagement has taken place. Gen. Daendels on the 10th attacked the right wing of the British forces at an advanced post near Winkle, under command of Prince William of Gloucester, with at least 6000 men and six pieces of cannon. To resist this formidable attack his highness had only 1100 men and two cannon, with which he forced the Dutch general to retreat, with a loss of one French general and 200 men. At the moment of victory we are forced to admit that his highness, seeing 4000 reinforcements advancing decided to fall back. His loss was one man killed and nine wounded. It is with extreme regret that we are compelled to inform you the attack made on the allied armies was favorable to the enemy." The copy of the New York Sun owned by Mrs. Mickle is dated Sept. 3, 1883. It is the first issue of that sheet which later took a prominent place in journalism under the management of Charles A. Dana. It consists of four pages, 8x12 inches in dimensions. In the salutatory, or excuse for being born, it announces that it came into the world for the purpose of furnishing the people all the news at the low rate of one cent per day.

It is very probable that the bond election will be called, giving the people a chance to express themselves by ballot. Several small building permits were granted, among them being a $1200 residence for R. H. Coffman. A map of the Pellegrin subdivision, at Broadway and Lena streets, was accepted. A communication was received from Eyrand brothers in reference to hauling the garbage. They complain that the ordinance relating to same is being violated. Matter referred to city marshal. Application was receivcd from Chas. C. Clark asking for position of driver of the new fire truck. Same was filed. Application of C. J. Mauerhan is also on file. No appointment will be made for a couple of months. New lights were ordered installed on North Philadelphia, Olive and Alberta streets. Contract between the city and the Seagrave motor people was ordered entered into. LOS ALAMITOS The thinning season is almost over, and the outlook is very encouraging for a bumper crop. Field Superintendent McOmle reports the crop in excellent condition, with very little damage from worms etc. At the factory a large force of men are busy putting the mill in first-class shape for the campaign, which will open about July 15th and last until well along in December. Superintendent Hamilton is taking applications for work and assigning the men to positions. The commercial club has done a great deal toward bringing in a better class of men each year, and with their smokers and dances everyone has a good time.

The visitors managed to get three men across the plate by hard work and good playing, but the locals failed to get closer than third base. It was practically an errorless game. It was an easy game for the outfielders as there was very little stick work. Perry allowing seven hits and Billiman three. Perry struck out nine and Billman fourteen men. Next Sunday the Anaheim team goes to Chino to play the second game with that bunch. Chino was defeated here three weeks ago by a score of one to nothing. OUR FIFTY WORST WEEDS The department of agriculture has just issued a bulletin, giving an alphabetical list of the 50 worst weeds of the United States with information which will enable readers to identify them. The table is arranged with the idea of aiding farmers in applying the methods of controlling weeds described fully in Farmers' Bulletin 660, Weeds and How to Control Them. The following sums up the principles of control of weeds, which the author of the bulletin believes costs the American farmer several hundred million dollars every year. Far more important than to kill weeds is to avoid having weeds to kill. In other words, the farmer should aim to prevent rather than cure the evil. A farm can be made almost freed of weeds by strictly observing the following principles: (1) Prevent weeds from going to seed on the farm, (2) prevent weed seeds being brought to the farm, and (3) in the case of perennial weeds, prevent them from making top growth and thus finally starve out the underground parts. The copy of the New York Sun owned by Mrs. Mickle is dated Sept. 3, 1883. It is the first issue of that sheet which later took a prominent place in journalism under the management of Charles A. Dana. It consists of four pages, 8x12 inches in dimensions. In the salutatory, or excuse for being born, it announces that it came into the world for the purpose of furnishing the people all the news at the low rate of one cent per day. The "news" on the first page consisted of three articles. One is a joke on an Irish captain. Another is a story by Pliny of Myrnecides, the Emperor Hadrian, and a few other ancients, and the third is an account of a remarkable boy in Vermont who could whistle. The only real news in the diminutive sheet is the shipping intelligence and the police court record. In this latter column we learn that "John McMann was brought up for whipping his darling wife, Juda McMan. John confessed his guilt but stated in extenuation that his head was thick in consequence of having absent-mindedly swallowed a wee drop of whiskey. He was sent to Bridewell." Another curiosity possessed by the Mickle family is a book of ancient vintage. It gives neither the name of the publisher nor the date of publication, but the name of Thomas Black, 1793, is written on the fly leaf. Mr. Black was a great uncle of Mr. Mickle and lived in New Jersey. The little volume is well preserved, notwithstanding its age. It is a collection of Greek fables, but the name of Aesop is not mentioned in it. PREVENTION OF MOTH DAMAGE The various substances used to keep away moths, such as tobacco, camphor napthalene cones or balls, tarred paper and cedar chips, have no effect if the eggs are already present in the cloths. Entomologists in the U.S. department recommend a thorough beating, shaking and brushing of all articles likely to attract moths before they are laid away for the summer. The brushing of garments is especially important to remove eggs which may have escaped notice. If the articles are quite free from eggs or larvae when laid away, the odor from the various repellants already mentioned or from codar chests and wardrobes will serve to keep the moths away. This odor, how- The commercial club has done a great deal toward bringing in a better class of men each year, and with their smokers and dances everyone has a good time. The club had another one of its enjoyable smokers Thursday night. Messrs Poe and Heaston being the star performers. Everyone is glad to see Geo. Dunning back again, having joined the office force at the mill after an absence of several months. The Bixby Land company has a big clam shell dredger working on its lands west of the river, which will be the means of reclaiming several hundred acres of fertile land which will eventually go into sugar beets. The ladies embroidery club meets at the home of Mrs. K. V. Bennis on Wednesday afternoon. Doctor Smith, who has been quite ill for the past week is rapidly recovering. W. E. Duckworth and wife, Al Nowotry and wife, E. R. Barmes and wife and L. A. Porter and wife spent Sunday at Redondo. C. W. Pendleton and family were visiting at Long Beach Sunday. For more important than to kill weeds is to avoid having weeds to kill. In other words, the farmer should aim to prevent rather than cure the evil. A farm can be made almost freed of weeds by strictly observing the following principles: (1) Prevent weeds from going to seed on the farm, (2) prevent weed seeds being brought to the farm, and (3) in the case of perennial weeds, prevent them from making top growth and thus, finally starve out the underground parts. Annual weeds live only one year, maturing their seeds and then dying. Blennial weeds live two years; during the first year they grow rather slowly, producing usually a taproot and a rosette of leaves close to the ground, but the second year they send up flower stems that produce seed and then die. As the annuals and biennials propagate themselves by seeds alone, it is necessary to observe only the first two of the principles stated above in their control. Perennial weeds, on the other hand, produce each year underground parts, which live over to the next year and produce top growth. These weeds propagate themselves by their underground parts as well as by their seeds, and even if prevented from going to seed, keep on growing. In dealing with perennials, therefore, it is necessary to observe all three of the principles: A NEW ORDNANCE The United States government is manufacturing an automatic field gun at Rock Island arsenal. It is believed that the new gun will revolutionize the artillery arm of the United States fighting machine. The automatic field gun, as well as the anti-aircraft gun which is now being tested out are believed to be the most valuable pieces of ordnance that have been added to the United States field artillery in years. The Du Pont de Nemours Powder company, which operates two big plants in Wisconsin, is doubling capacity and turning both plants, which it is understood have heretofore been working on foreign government contracts, to the manufacture of high explosives for the United States government.

EVEYTHING FREE. TO CURB THE SANTA ANA RIVER All streams in the Great Southwest become turbulent when the heavy rains fall in the wet season. From the sea to the mountain tops all around the great valley known as Southern California the extreme distance is about 100 miles. As these mountains run like a horseshoe all around the valley, and there is a rise in many places to thousands of feet in height, the run-off in a big rain is something tremendous. Although the streams are not so long as those in the Middle West, the floods are more difficult to control because of the great height of the mountains and their close proximity to the valley. A vigorous and well planned campaign is on foot all over the Great Southwest to restrain these streams in flood time. The largest stream in Southern California proper is the Santa Ana river, which comes down from the San Bernardino mountains, where the rains are more abundant and the snow falls deeper than elsewhere in Southern California, raising immense floods in the river. These floods are particularly destructive in Orange county around Santa Ana, and most so between that city and the sea. Early in May a meeting was held by the Newbert protection district directors and those of the Talbert drainage district. To control the water along these districts it is estimated the cost will be about $35,000. The river is already pretty well diked from Santa Ana to tidewater, but at a certain point it strikes an obstruction and makes a turn almost at right angle. The new lands are of extreme fertility and thoroughly well worth protection. WATER BOARD HOLDS REGULAR MEETING Business of Session Mostly Pertained To Oil Instead of Water A regular meeting of the Board of Directors of the Anaheim Union Water company was held on Saturday, May, 15, with all members present except Director Sherwood. Minutes of the last regular meeting were read and approved. The oil committee reported that an electrical centrifugal had been purchased for the oil department. The report of the St. Helens Oil company for the month of April was received and filed. The report of the Hurley, Smith & Collins Co. for the month of April was received and filed. The report of the Amalgamated Oil Co. for the month of April was received and filed. Communication from the Byron Jackson Iron Works in regard to new runner for Booster plant was received and filed. Applications on file for transfer of stok were on motion granted. Owing to work on the highways the Olive-Anaheim road and the Brea canyon road are rough at present.
