VOLUME XXXXV ANAHEIM BAND TO GIVE STREET DANCE ON COMPLETION OF ORNAMENTAL LIGHTS LOCAL MUSICAL ORGANIZATION WILL PLAY BOARD OF TRADE HEARS GOOD REPORT FROM ITS ILLUSTRATED PAMPHLETS AT FAIR The Anaheim board of trade met in regular session on Monday evening, with President F. C. Krause presiding. Secretary Dutton read a communication from D. W. McDannald, special Orange county agent at the San Francisco exposition, acknowledging receipt of 200 illustrated booklets descriptive of Anaheim. Mr. McDannald stated the pamphlets were eagerly sought by tourists and their contents absorbed with a great deal of interest. He asked that more be sent him of trade and Frank Champlin, whereby the former leases 60 feet frontage of his property on the state highway to the north for sign board advertising. It was ordered that the proper officials sign the same and that the document be placed in the keeping of Mr. Greswell. Upon the recommendation of H. P. Noll the request of the Anaheim City Band to give a street dance upon the completion and installation of the new ornamental lights, was endorsed by the board of trade. The band intends to canvass off a section of one of the down town streets for dancing, and to give an open air concert in commemoration of this new civic advancement. The members believed it a good idea and promised their moral and financial support. The Anaheim band is one of the best musical organizations in Southern California and their concerts are always largely attended. They promise the citizens something new in this latest undertaking, and will see that everything is carried out in a thoroughly first class manner. DECORATION DAY EXERCISES The Decoration exercises will be held in the Anaheim Cemetery, May 29, under the auspices of Malvern Hill Post No. 131, and Julia Ward Secretary Dutton read a communication from D. W. McDannald, special Orange county agent at the San Francisco exposition, acknowledging receipt of 200 illustrated booklets descriptive of Anaheim. Mr. McDannald stated the pamphlets were eagerly sought by tourists and their contents absorbed with a great deal of interest. He asked more be sent him at once, as he considered them the best kind of advertising matter. The people attending the fair in great part are prospective home seekers and are seeking information concerning the possibilities of the state. Many of the eastern visitors are coming to Southern California and naturally inquire about Orange county. The literature sent from Anaheim gives an honest pen picture of our resources and what is said about this locality may be depended upon as being reliable. Another consignment of the booklets will be sent to the special agent at San Francisco, and it is confidently expected that much good will be accomplished in the way of enlightening the tourists as to our diversity of products. Individuals desiring the pamphlets for mailing may secure the same from the secretary. The board of trade seeks to place the pamphlets where they will do the most good, and citizens are requested to lend a hand in properly distributing them. J. D. Rasmussen was appointed to fill the vacancy on the membership committee, and was named as chairman of the same. Mr. Rasmussen was assured that he had a prolific field for his enterprising spirit, as new members are desired and many business men not now belonging to the board of trade will be prevailed upon to join the local organization. Mr. Rasmussen promises to do all 'in his power to swell the roster, and will see to it that subcommittees get busy in rounding up new members. F. K. Greswell of the advertising committee has arranged a unique design for a guide to be placed at street intersections on the outskirts of the city, guiding travellers upon their way. The design is somewhat along the mission bell idea. The words, Mother Colony are arranged in crescent shape over a large bell of aluminum, upon which the name Anaheim appears. Below on a parallel bar appears The Frostless Belt. Side arms point the way to neighboring their concerts are always largely attended. They promise the citizens something new in this latest undertaking, and will see that everything is carried out in a thoroughly first class manner. DECORATION DAY EXERCISES The Decoration exercises will be held in the Anaheim Cemetery, May 29, under the auspices of Malvern Hill Post No. 131, and Julia Ward Howe, Tent No. 7, D. of V. The program will be as follows: Assembly at gate, 9:45 sharp. March to speakers' stand, led by band America, all singing. Invocation. Music by the band. Song, F. U. H. S. boys' Quartette: Clifford Ford, Horace Ford, Samuel Walker, Bertrand Pridham. Musio by band. Song by quartette. Tribute to the unknown dead, Mrs. Eva Gage. Decoration of graves, school children, led by D. of V.'s. Band playing. Lincoln's Gettysburg address, Hollie Knowlton. Duet, Ruby Kent and Margaret Chapman. Address, Frank G. Tyrrell, Los Angeles Music by band. Benediction. POPULAR YOUNG PEOPLE UNITED IN MARRIAGE Miss Vivian Fox and Alvin Melcher Joined in Wedlock at Home of Parents on Friday Miss Vivian Fox, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. F. H. Fox, and Alvin Melcher were married at the home of the bride's parents at 321 Chestnua street on Friday, May 21, Rev. Mr. Meyers of Los Angeles officiating. Only members of the family and intimate friends of the bride and groom were present. After the ceremony the newly wedded couple departed for a honeymoon trip to points of interest in the northern part of the state. Upon their return Mr. and Mrs. Melcher will take up their residence in this city. The bride is a beautiful Anaheim girl and her friends and admirers are lefion. Last year she was elected Queen of the Carnival, being chosen from a host of charming young ladies from the entire countryside. The groom has been engaged in business pursuits in this city for a number decisive score achieved Schacht. Miss Vivian Fox and Alvin Melcher champion William Bradley, school auditorium subject, "Resolve insurance should be out the United States decisively defeated." F. K. Greswell of the advertising committee has arranged a unique design for a guide to be placed at street intersections on the outskirts of the city, guiding travellers upon their way. The design is somewhat along the mission bell idea. The words, Mother Colony are arranged in crescent shape over a large bell of aluminum, upon which the name Anaheim appears. Below on a parallel bar appears The Frostless Belt. Side arms point the way to neighboring points of interest, and the number of miles distant. It was ordered that Mr. Greswell construct ten of these designs for use in and around Anaheim. Mr. Greswell is the real live booster and was complimented for his zealous endeavors in extolling our advantages. The matter of a paid secretary for the board of trade and merchants' association is still unsettled and Committeeman Noll stated that he was waiting for the association to take the initiative. It is believed that a competent and efficient secretary, devoting his entire time to these organizations would be of much good to the town and the matter will be given due consideration. The booster excursion to San Diego received encouragement and it was deemed best to keep the spirit alive. Odd Fellows from Southern California will shortly hold a monster excursion to the Southern city and upon Mr. Rasumssen's suggestion it was decided to endeavor to cooperate with that fraternal body and get up an Anaheim excursion at the same time. Mr. Krause and others believed that a day devoted exclusively to Anaheim would be proper and it was suggested that all work along that line, the date to be arranged later. The membership contest was ordered extended to June 15th to allow committees further time to enlist new members. Secretary Dutton reported having drawn up a contract between the board ded couple departed for a honeymoon trip to points of interest in the northern part of the state. Upon their return Mr. and Mrs. Melcher will take up their residence in this city. The bride is a beautiful Anaheim girl and her friends and admirers are lefion. Last year she was elected Queen of the Carnival, being chosen from a host of charming young ladies from the entire countryside. The groom has been engaged in business pursuits in this city for a number of years and has many friends in this city who offer congratulations to him and his bride. SOME GOOD ROCK TAKEN FROM GOLD PARK DISTRICT Local Men Interested In Mine In Riverside County That has Promising Outlook Back in the Pinter mountains in Riverside county, several Anaheimers have located a mine which promises well. It is in the Gold Park district and specimens shown heer indicate that something good is hidden away in its depths. Ore recently sent here from the mine runs from $19 to $268 per ton gold. The ore also contains platinum assaying $4.50 per ton. An experienced miner is kept employed at the mine continually and latest reports are to the effect that some high grade rock is being taken out. Besides some Los Angeles parties, Frank and William Fox and other Anaheim men are interested in the mine. No development work of any considerable extent has as yet been undertaken at the mine, but from the encouraging reports at hand it is not at all improbable that more active operations may be gone into. As yet no corporation has been formed, but the local owners aver that something along that line may be shortly considered looking toward entering into the mining enterprise on a larger and more extensive scale.

JOBS OUT PERFUNCTORY HONORS HOWLING MOB OF ANGEL CITY HOODLUMS IN GALLERY CAUSES ANAHEIM SPEAKER TO STOP EJECTED FROM BUILDING IN UP-ROAR, CONTINUE THEIR YELLS ON OUTSIDE Splitting even with L. A. high on the year's debates, taking one by a decisive score and losing the finals by the close margin of one and two-thirds points, A. U. H. S. yields the perfunctory honors of the championship to its rivals by a decision as unjust and iniquitous as was ever perpetrated in the school annals of the state. A crowd of hoodlums filling the balcony at Polytechnic auditorium so disconcerted the first Anaheim speaker by their inhuman yells as to give the few points necessary to L. A. losing to Anaheim and Anaheim one to L. A. We are swelled up over the season's record made by our high school, but somewhat peeved over an inquestionablybum decision made by the umpires. It is much better, however, to lose by the warped judgment of one man than to know in our own minds that we have lost. The judges were Prof. McKower, principal of the Santa Monica high school, Prof. Covell, superintendent of the Redlands schools, and Prof. Beekman of the South Pasadena high school. The debate had been staged for Manual Arts high school at 42nd and Vermont, but at the last minute it was switched to the Polytechnic on Washington, which is more centrally located. Anaheim was represented by more than one hundred pupils under the leadership of Miss Veda Walker, and the familiar yells and songs were not wanting to stimulate the speakers. Miss Inez Elliott had charge of the girl's singing squad and Eddie Backs led the songs on the boys' side. Clark Scott and Coe Wellman led with the yells, and made a respectable showing in squeezing noises out of the bunch of leather-lunged Anaheimers. There were several hundred Los Angeles high school students present, and they did fairly well in backing up their champions, THE CIVIC CENTER COMMITTEE IS DISCHARGED JOINT MEETING OF CITY TRUSTEES AND COMMITTEE OF FIFTY—UNABLE TO AGREE BOND ISSUE NOW UP TO COUNCIL AND PEOPLE ARE WAITING FOR NEXT MOVE At the joint meeting of the city Trustees and representatives of the Committee of Fifty held at the city hall on Thursday night, the civic center committee, upon motion duly made and carried by the trustees, was discharged. This action was taken by request of the committee. The trustees and the committee could not agree upon a plan whereby the contemplated bond issue for a new city hall and park site could be submitted to the people. The issue was discussed from many angles by those present and the only at citizens under ythning first decisive score and losing the finals by the close margin of one and two-thirds points, A. U. H. S. yields the perfunctory honors of the championship to its rivals by a decision as unjust and iniquitous as was ever perpetrated in the school annals of the state. A crowd of hoodlums filling the balcony at Polytechnic auditorium so disconcerted the first Anaheim speaker by their inhuman yells as to give the few points necessary to L. A. high, which gentlemanly treatment would not have accorded us. While it is true that those yelling savages were expelled from the building in an uprdar, they gathered on the outside in a continuation of the yells, with a view to so interrupting the proceedings during Fred Owen's delivery of his masterly address, as to give them their ill-merited victory, when under any other circumstances they would have gone down to inglorou defeat. While the judges were considering their figures previous to announcement of their decision a gentleman approached Dr. Hauck who was seated in the auditorium with a party of friends saying, "you have won this debate in a walk." After announcement of the judges' decision giving Los Angeles a victory by one and two-thirds points, one of the judges declared to Dr. Hauck that the decision was most iniquitous and unfair. It was one of the greatest debates ever held in the Southland, both sides struggling desperately for every point. "Resolved, that the short ballot has a safer tendency in American government than the initiative," was the subject, with Anaheim on the negative side. Los Angeles dictated the subject and the position they should take. Twice before a subject had been agreed upon, and twice the school flunkked, and finally Anaheim turned the entire matter over to them, agreeing to meet them on any subject they might select, and on any terms. L. A. finally proposed the subject provided their speakers could uphold the affirmative, which was agreed to. Fred Owen and Frank Schacht were the Anaheim speakers and Miss Lizzie Wilcox and Rufus Brent were the Los Angeles champions. Miss Wilcox with William Bradley, debated at the high school auditorium in January on the subject, "Resolved, that compulsary insurance should be adopted throughout the United States," and they were decisively defeated by Owen and Schacht. Miss Wilcox is a forcible and the familiar yells and songs were not wanting to stimulate the speakers. Miss Inez Elliott had charge of the girl's singing squad and Eddie Backs led the songs on the boys' side. Clark Scott and Coe Wellman led with the yells, and made a respectable showing in squeezing noises out of the bunch of leather-lunged Anahelmers. There were several hundred Los Angeles high school students present, and they did fairly well in backing up their champions, but the narrow and confined atmosphere of a great city is not conductive to the development of lung power and their efforts were weak compared to the ear-splitting yells that eminated from the Anaheim side of the auditorium. Even the L. A. speakers were weak voiced, and half the imence audience that packed the auditorium were unable to hear them. Miss Wilcox was the first speaker and made a fifteen minute talk in which she attempted to show that the concentration of power in the hands of a few who would be responsible for the deeds of subordinates was preferable to permitting the people to vote unintelligently for all officials, or to dictate what measures should become law. She was followed by Owen who, after refuting the points made by her, said in part: Our government is a democratic republican government. Democratic in that the people rule. Republican in that the ruling is carried on by representatives. It was formed by the people in order to secure for the people the blessings of life, liberty and happiness. The very principle of American government is government by the people. The institutions and machinery were made to secure these ends. Conditions however have changed. The privileged classes have built monopolies, have made possible the corrupt boss and money controlled machines that have so corrupted and eaten away our institutions that no intelligent person can help but see that our representative body is under the control of a few and is not carried on in the interests of the people. In the words of one of our statesmen: "Our boasted sovereignty of the people has been a myth, a delusion and a snare, an empty phrase serving chilfully to delay the ultimate assertions of the rights of citizenship." For the last twenty years the people have been battling to restore true representative government. It is a battle for popular government and the most far reaching, unmistakable and impressive tendency towards this principle, the principle of true representative government is the initiative. Boss ridden legislatures were the hall on Thursday night, the civic center committee, upon motion duly made and carried by the trustees, was discharged. This action was taken by request of the committee. The trustees and the committee could not agree upon a plan whereby the contemplated bond issue for a new city hall and park site could be submitted to the people. The issue was discussed from many angles by those present and the two bodies were hopelessly divided as to the best method to pursue. The civic center advocates were strongly in favor of a $65,000 bond issue to purchase the library site for park purposes, but were equally as strong against building a new city hall upon the present site on Center street. They contended for the purchase of the new site now and to use funds to be derived later from the sale of present city holdings for the erection of a new hall upon the civic center location. The sale of the city property is problematical, and it might be a long time before it would be sold, consequently erection of a hall under this scheme might be indefinitely delayed. This proposition was vigorously bucked by Trustees Cook, Stark, Schneider and Brumworth. The trustees wanted to give voters the privilege of voting upon the two propositions. That is, $100,000 for purchase of the civic center site and erection of a city hall and other buildings thereon, and also upon a $35,000 proposition to erect the new municipal buildings upon the present city hall location. At a previous meeting of the city council of committee of fifty submitted a plan to issue bonds in the amount of $65,000 for purchase of a park site and also another bond issue for $35,000 for the erection of a city hall thereon. This proposition was rejected by the trustees. The contemplated bond issue was discussed at length by many of the gentlemen present, but it was impossible for them to agree upon any concerted action, and no compromise being in sight, the trustees decided to discharge the committee, which virtually means the demise of the civic center project at the present writing. Months ago a mass meeting was called for an expression of opinion regarding erection of a new city hall, and after many weeks of committee meetings and discussions in public, the proposition now is just where it commenced. speakers could uphold the affirmative, which was agreed to. Fred Owen and Frank Schacht were the Anaheim speakers and Miss Lizzie Wilcox and Rufus Brent were the Los Angeles champions. Miss Wilcox with William Bradley, debated at the high school auditorium in January on the subject, "Resolved, that compulsary insurance should be adopted throughout the United States," and they were decisively defeated by Owen and Schacht. Miss Wilcox is a forcible and logical reasoner, and presented her side of the case in an able manner. The fact that she broke even with Frank Schacht is ample proof of her ability. She would make a successful militant suffragette provided she used her tongue as a weapon. A gold and silver medal had been provided for presentation to the debaters making the two highest scores, but when the figures of the judges were totaled up it was found that Schacht and Miss Wilcox had tied for first place, consequently it was necessary to provide another medal. Why the judges gave Brent a decision over Owen is a mystery. Owen's argument was excellent and his delivery was far superior to Brent's. Breht followed Owen, and his efforts to reflect the points made by his antagonist were painful. Even the Anaheim contingent sympathized with him, but when he swung into his stereotyped speech his periods were as polished and his language as smooth as one of William Jennings Bryan's Chautauqua addresses. There was very little logic in his argument and his voice was weak, but the judges graded him one and two-thirds points ahead of Owen. Why they did it is incomprehensible to those who heard the debate. Notwithstanding this defeat Anaheim closes the debating season with honors. Los Angeles gets the championship but Anaheim has a lead of two and one-third points. Each school has lost one out of four debates, L. A. Continued on Page 3 The words of one of our statesmen: "Our boasted sovereignty of the people has been a myth, a delusion and a snare, an empty phrase serving chiefly to delay the ultimate assertions of the rights of citizenship." For the last twenty years the people have been battling to restore true representative government. It is a battle for popular government and the most far reaching, unmistakable and impressive tendency towards this principle, the principle of true representative government is the initiative. Boss ridden legislatures were the rule, not the exception. Specific examples of these are not wanting they are on all sides of us. We shall take the example of Illinois, as an illustration. Harold L. Ickes in La Folletes, says, "A circumstantial confession of bribery and corruption the Illinois legislature left no doubt in the minds of any that the state house at Springfield was as much a place of barter and sale as the stock yards. For a consideration, senators and representatives sold not only their bodies but their souls." What did the people do? At a conference of citizens they proposed the initiative to offset this tendency towards concentration of power and furnish a tendency in the opposite direction. This is a typical case. What was true in Illinois is true of many other states and realizing this, state after state has adopted the initiative. The people grew tired of trying to coax and plead with the legislature and took steps not to destroy legislators or legislatures but to strengthen both. They adopted the initiative, which William E. Rappard of Harvard University, says, "is the right of the people under the representative system to propose legislative measures." The principle of the initiative is to secure legislation for the general welfare. By the initiative, the people can pass any desirable pigeon-holed, ignored or defeated measure of their representative body. The people are not wholly dependent on the wishes of a few. The people do not have to wait until a legislature that is under the control of some special interest gets ready to pass the laws. They can make and pass the laws themselves. The people have every chance to promote wise legislation. For two months before elections in the state, the pending measures are discussed Months ago a mass meeting was called for an expression of opinion regarding erection of a new city hall, and after many weeks of committee meetings and discussions in public, the proposition now is just where it commenced. The board of trustees may go ahead and call an election to vote bonds for erection of a new city hall upon the present site, but since many citizens have voiced their opinion against building civic betterments thereon, it is a question whether the bonds would carry. John Dwyer acted as spokesman at the outset for the civic center advocate and stated his views regarding the same. He was in favor of the centralization idea. Mr. Dwyer also claimed a park would be more conductive to the city's welfare than a hall. P. H. Krick restated his opposition to any new building upon the present site. He wanted the civic center first and would devise means later on for erection of a hall. Mr. Krick argued, in the event the issues were put up to the people, that should the bonds for purchase of the library site be defeated, and the bonds for a new hall be carried, and the buildings be then erected upon the Center street location, the civic center people would help to build a hall upon a site which they were absolutely opposed to. He said that would be unfair. This idea was combatted by the trustees as being very much one-sided. Trustee Cook with some vehemence stated that those advocating that plan were unfair, as with them it was civic center or nothing. He wanted to give the people a chance to express their views by ballot as to just what they wanted, and offered to comp- MIGCENTER COMMITTEE IS CHARGED ING OF CITY TRUS- COMMITTEE OF ABLE TO AGREE NOW UP TO COUNCIL WE ARE WAITING NEXT MOVE A meeting of the city representatives of the Fifty held at the city day night, the civic cen- upon motion duly made by the trustees, was action was taken by committee.

C. E. Jones was still on the job with his unequivocal opposition to the civic center. It was too much money. The property was not worth it, he said. Taxes are too high already. Other sites offered for park purposes were just as good at greatly less price. The present city hall was plenty good enough for him. Mr. Newcombe tried to pour oil upon the troubled waters by suggesting that $35,000 would be sufficient to build a new hall upon the present site and buy a park site besides. Trustee Schneider said taxes here now are $4.00 on the $100, which was high, and any attempt to increase the rate would drive away prospective home seekers quicker than anything else. Trustee Hamler wants a new city hall and is going to use all of his energy toward acquiring one, regardless of its location. He is also in favor of a park. Mr. Berger thought the civic center would be the right thing to go into and argued in favor of it. Charles Eygabroad was heartily in favor of civic betterments and believed that the municipal buildings grouped on a central location would FORENSIC CONTEST AT AUDI-TORIUM SANTA ANA CAPTURES THREE OF THE FOUR INDIVIDUAL MEDALS, FULLERTON ONE ANAHEIM CONTESTANTS ACQUIT- TED THEMSELVES EXCEL- LENTLY BUT FAILED TO ANNEX A PRIZE There is a screw loose in the arrangement of things when Anaheim falls to win the majority of points in a contest, either oratorical or athletic. In the annual Orange County Forensic contest held at the high school auditorium Saturday we failed to win a single victory notwithstanding the brilliant fight put up by our representatives. Santa Ana got three of the four individual medals, and of course took the Starbuck prize for the best team work, while Fullerton captured one.

He is also in favor of a park. Mr. Berger thought the civic center would be the right thing to go into and argued in favor of it. Charles Eygabroad was heartily in favor of civic betterments and believed that the municipal buildings grouped on a central location would be fine and a good advertisement for Anaheim. Trustee Schneider said property upon which the options were secured could not be sold for one-fourth of the price agreed upon. He asked the question. If the park site issue carried as did also the proposition to erect a hall upon the old site, what would happen? What would you do with both of them? Mr. Krick argued that this would not occur. It would be inconceivable. People would not vote to buy a site for a city hall and then vote to erect the hall upon another site. Should they do that it would be time to erect a fence around the town and class the inmates as imbeciles. John Ziegler said he had just returned from Los Angeles where he had signed up for his $45,000 modern hotel, and he could not see why the citizens of Anaheim could not finance the civic center. He is going to a great personal expense to erect the hotel and wanted the city to keep up with the procession. J. F. Ahlborn argued earnestly to save the day and keep the civic center ship afloat but all to no avail. He went into details leading up to the civic center project, which was welded out of various ideas presented at subcommittee meetings, and said the centralization of municipal buildings upon a suitable location was the final decision arrived at. Dr. McFarlane said the civic center was the best thing Anaheim could go into at this tim). It would be a grand project. City Attorney H. G. Ames quoted many law points regarding bond issues, and said to make them effective proceedings must follow the well beaten trail in such cases made and provided, and any deviation from these laws would be fatal. He advised that upon the sale of present city holdings money so derived could be placed in a sinking fund to pay accruing principal and interest upon bond issues. Rangement or change when Anaheim falls to win the majority of points in a contest, either oratorical or athletic. In the annual Orange County Forensic contest held at the high school auditorium Saturday we failed to win a single victory notwithstanding the brilliant fight put up by our representatives. Santa Ana got three of the four individual medals, and of course took the Starbuck prize for the best team work, while Fullerton captured one. The Anaheim contestants were, in declamation, Fay Kern, who recited "Sally Ann's Experience;" Winifred Adland in stories, Myrtle Winters in essays, and Clark Chamberlain in oralations. They were all excellently rendered and, in the estimation of the Anaheimmers, should each have received a medal, but the judges thought otherwise. They were all excellent and an unprejudiced judge must have found it difficult to decide between them. The winners of the prizes were as follows: In declamation, Grace Wellman of Fullerton, her subject being "Mandy Bently's Organ;" in stories, Kathleen Steward of Santa Ana in "Nemo, the Shield Bearer;" in essays, Eunice Jones of Santa Ana in "They Say;" and in orations Vier Robinson of Santa Ana, in "The Labor Problem." Santa Ana, of course, was awarded the Starbuck medal for the best team work. One thing that migrated against Anaheim was the fact that its representatives were forced into the gallery and all the beauty and chivalry of the school was hidden from the eyes of the judges. The four visiting schools occupied the pit of the auditorium, and there were enough of them to fill the big room. It was a brilliant display of gaily colored costumes and gaudy banners. Before the exercises began an hour was devoted to noise and music. The schools were equally represented in point of numbers, and neither had the advantage in this respect. There were five planos in the room, one of them being elevated to the gallery for the benefit of Anaheim. After each school had indulged alternately in yells and derisive songs, the Orange bunch started "Tipperary." This was familiar to all and the other schools joined in. Then the Anaheimmers, from their perch in the gallery, arose to their feet and swung into "The Star Spangled Banner." This brought every student to his feet Trustees may go ahead to vote bonds for a new city hall upon but since many citioced their opinion civic betterments question whether the city isected as spokesman at the civic center advocating was in favor of the idea. Mr. Dwyer also would be more conciliy's welfare than a large crowd of citizens were present and took part in the discussion. The city needs a new hall and a room to house the new motor fire truek, which will soon be on hand. What the trustees will do in the matter time will tell. It is freely admitted by many voters that the time is inopportune for a bond issue of any denomination. During the evening some of those taking part in the discussion were inclined to get a bit personal, but more tranquil thoughts finally swayed the speakers and the dove of peace settled over all. ARTICLES OF INCORPORATION Articles of incorporation of the Anaheim Beef and Provision Company have been filed with the county clerk. This corporation proposes to go into the meat and provision business in somewhat of a large scale, and there has been capital enough paid in already to insure the financing of the project. The capitol stock is $150,000 and of this amount $90,100 have actually been paid in. There are five directors in the proposed company all Anaheim people, and the principal place of business will be Anaheim. The charter asked for is to exist for fifty years. The directors are Henry C. Lee, S. Charles Hosea, John Reuther, J. W. Bixby and Fred Reuther. Bendemeer's Stream ...Gatty Boys' Glee Club, S. A. H. S. Essays Those Who Have Gone Before...Vera Good They Say...Eunice Jones, S.
