It may be truthfully said the society sings well, and friends of the members declare they will win the Franz Josef gold cup as well as the silver cup offered by the Pacific Coast Saengerbund. SYDMER ROSS AND FAMILY WILL VISIT EAST Were at Prague Last Year, Touring Europe, When War Broke Out Mr. and Mrs. Sydmer Ross of Fullerton and their daughter, Miss Sheila Ross, leave on Monday for a three months' tour of the east. They will go to Toronto and will visit other points of interest in Canada and the eastern states. Mr. and Mrs. Ross and their daughter were touring Europe a year ago in their automobile, and were at Prague at the outbreak of hostilities. They made their way to Lake Constance, and on entering German territory were informed by officials that they would not be permitted to take their automobile out of that country. Their machine was left at a town near the German border, where it will probably be recovered at some future date. Mr. Ross made his way with his family to England, where he took a vessel for Halifax, being unable to secure passage for New York or Boston, as no vessels were sailing for American ports for six weeks. BROADWAY ING ABAB BY TR COUNCIL TO RESOLUTION PAVING I. B. FUNK, M.E.R., ADDRESS REGARD T The city trusts session on Friday to further discuss proposition. Of citizens were presented by J. W. that paving of Brick for the present y petition, present Henry, and signed property owners, linear feet, protest templated 16 foot ter of Broadway, length of that street. The petition pres with the Concordia singing society and testing the voices of those who will compete in the songfest at Shrine auditorium Thursday, Friday and Saturday, July 29, 30 and 31. They expressed themselves as highly pleased with the singing of the Anaheim men, and believe they will hold their own in the contest for which they have been practicing for several months, notwithstanding the fact that some of the best talent on the Pacific coast will compete. Prof. Ludwig Thomas, leader of the Anaheim singing society has twenty-six singers in his club. They are: Peter Syre, J. C. Cordes, S. Helmann, M. Salscheider, A. Bieger, J. D. Rasmussen, Henry Oelkers, Joe Lautenback, F. Lautenback, Stephen Kistler, G. Chimitzer, August Backs, A. Rasmussen, Joe Hiltcher, Richard Krastel, Theodore Roberts, A. Rorden, F. Schmidt, E. Otto, Joseph Backs, Victor Schumacher, D. Blankmeyer, Rinehold Schellens, A. Meincke, J. Boeckelr and Ferd Backs. In addition to the silver cup offered by the Pacific Coast Saengerbund these people will also contest for a golden cup offered by Emperor Franz Josef of Austria. This is the grand prize presented to the winning club in a contest limited to the second and third classes which must have a membership of 24 and 16 respectively. Kaiser Wilhelm also offers a gold cup, but only classes of 35 or more members can compete for it; consequently the Anaheim singers can not contest for that prize. This Saengerbund will be one of the greatest musical festivals ever held on the Pacific coast. Clubs will contest for the prizes from every state west of the Rocky Mountains, and some of the greatest singers in the country will be present. Madame Schumann-Heink will sing several solos, the entire strength of the singing clubs poining in the chorus, Marcella Craft, Johannes Sembach and Carl Schlegel, all famous singers, are also on the program. These four, singing in concert, will also render Verdi's "Rigoletto," on Friday evening. On Sunday morning a sacred concert will be given on the lawn of the court house in which twelve hundred voices will unite. It was the intention of the directors to give this concert at Central Park, but as that portion of the city is usually noisy they decided to hold it at the court house. Six pieces of music will be rendered, the great man territory were informed by officials that they would not be permitted to take their automobile out of that country. Their machine was left at a town near the German border, where it will probably be recovered at some future date. Mr. Ross made his way with his family to England, where he took a vessel for Halifax, being unable to secure passage for New York or Boston, as no vessels were sailing for American ports for six weeks. He returned home without further mishaps, and will probably return to Europe at the conclusion of hostilities. Mr. Ross and his family toured France, Belgium, Germany, Switzerland and other countries before war began, and were in Bohemia when hostilities broke out between Austria and Servia. Seeing that the nations of Europe would probably be embroiled in the conflict he made his way through Switzerland into Germany, where he was informed that he would not be permitted to take his machine out of the country. He had a sufficient quantity of gasoline to make 100 miles, and at each stopping place had to report to the German authorities. He and his family were not greatly inconvenienced because of threatening war clouds, but he hastened to England with all speed, with a view to getting a trans-Atlantic steamer for this side. Arriving in London, he learned that no vessels would sail for the United States for six weeks, and he took passage upon a boat for Halifax. He will spend several months visiting points of interest in the east, and will at a later date resume his tour of Europe after the close of hostilities. He expects to recover his auto when he returns to Germany. WATER COMPANY HOLDS SESSION Regular Meeting of Board of Directors Last Saturday A regular meeting of the board of directors of the Anaheim Union Water company was held Saturday, July 19, will all members present. Minutes of adjourned meeting of July 2nd were read and approved. On motion duly seconded the superintendent was instructed to put in a gate for Ed.

Director Hale reported on the method used by the Riverside Water com- On Sunday morning a sacred concert will be given on the lawn of the court house in which twelve hundred voices will unite. It was the intention of the directors to give this concert at Central Park, but as that portion of the city is usually noisy they decided to hold it at the court house. Six pieces of music will be rendered, the great orchestra which furnishes instrumental music for the Saengerbund, assisting the voices. The program includes selections from Wagner, Beethoven, Schubert, Weber, Haydn, Mendelssohn, Strauss, Verdi, and other old masters. Among other notable selections is "Das Roslein auf der Heide" (The Rose on the Heath) "Alte Mutterschen," and other numbers. The songs are sentimental, and are distinguished contrast to the topical songs of the day. As near as can be translated Alte Mutterschen means "the old mother," although much of the meaning of the German title is lost in the translation. The song depicts Alte Mutterschen seated on the edge of a forest on a warm summer's day. The drowsy kine in the field have fallen asleep at midday. The good old lady, bent with the weight of years, herself falls asleep, and sees in her dream a passing regiment. As she waits the vision disappears, and she says: "Thus seemed he to me." The author does not inform us to whom she refers. It may be husband or a son or some other loved one whom she knew in the years that are gone. The program embraces also, the well known English songs Annie Laurie and Robin Adair.

Karloff on the Ball road provided Mr. Karloff will pay for same. Director Hale reported on the method used by the Riverside Water company, to keep the banks of the cement ditches clean and on motion duly seconded the superintendent was instructed to investigate. On motion duly seconded the following transfers of stock were granted: 1 share from E. J. Van Camp to Jesse Chilton and 8 from J. T. and Ida Chalkley Penrose to Murray Horne. Communication from the Amalgamated Oil company, in regard to offset well to Hulade No. 3 was referred to the oil committee. The report of the Hurley, Smith & Collins company and St. Helens Petroleum company for the month of June was received and filed. Communication from the Union Oil company, in regard to right of way for 4 inch line was referred to the secretary. The case of Supt. McFadden vs. Y. Kitahata charged with interfering with the run of water in a ditch south of town, supplying a Japanese nursery, comes up for hearing before Justice Cox of Santa Ana today. At a former hearing of the case the Jap's brother was placed under arrest by mistake. He was released from custody and Kitahata, who was a witness of the proceedings in court was immediately placed under arrest. Judge Cox will hear the case today. Johnny Walls was a business visitor in Los Angeles on Tuesday. All the trustees argue the circumstances they live, as they are aware from the Southern road company, where objection contemplates deed a strip for widening Western terminus. The contract price for way will amount to $75,000, one of the last ever let by the city. Several of the speakers ed paving, asked why not begin the paving o way first, instead of east end. They claim Anaheim, California, Thursday, July 22, 1915 BROADWAY PARKING ABANDONED BY TRUSTEES COUNCIL TO ENTERTAIN NEW RESOLUTION FOR BROADWAY PAVING TONIGHT I. B. FUNK, MUNICIPAL ENGINEER, ADDRESSES BOARD IN REGARD TO ELECTRIC SCHEDULE The city trustees met in special session on Friday evening, July 16, to further discuss the Broadway parking proposition. A large delegation of citizens were present and four petitions were presented, one of which, presented by J. W. Duckworth, asked that paving of Broadway be deferred for the present year, at least. The petition, presented by Alexander Henry, and signed by a number of property owners, representing 2691 linear feet, protested against the contemplated 16 foot parking in the center of Broadway, extending the entire length of that street. The petition presented by Mr. Duck residing there were better able financially to stand the expense. The city trustees state that the reason they have taken steps to pave Broadway at this time is on account of a petition presented to the board about three years ago, asking that the street be paved. At that time, however, other streets were also laid out for paving, and have since been finished, but the improvement on Broadway for some reason was delayed. C. J. Mauerhan was elected driver of the new motor fire truck, which has arrived. The committee on public improvements was instructed to arrange suitable quarters for the new equipment in the lower corner room of the city hall building. Living apartments for the driver and family will also be provided for. I. B. Funk of Los Angeles, municipal engineer, addressed the board in reference to informing them just where they were at in regard to the receipts and expenditures of the municipal power plant. Mr. Funk maintains that the first thing to do will be to install a recording watt meter, to register exactly the maximum load at the plant. A number of details will have to be looked into, including examination of the books of the city to ascertain the original cost of the plant, its depreciation, its present cost, and other matters. How much it costs the city to put juice on the switchboard, will be ascertained in minute detail. S.F. SCHOOL BOYS HIKE THROUGH ANAHEIM FIFTY MEMBERS OF COLUMBIA PARK CLUB ON WALKING TRIP FROM FRISCO TO SAN DIEGO GIVE EXHIBITION OF THEIR ACCOMPLISHMENTS AT MASON FRIDAY NIGHT From the Panama-Pacific exposition at San Francisco to the Panama California exposition at San Diego, was the task set the walking delegation of fifty members of the Columbia Park Boys' club of San Francisco. The boys range in age from 9 to 75 years, and are under command of George A. Schlitter. They left San Francisco on June 4, expecting to walk the full length of historic El Camino real, a distance of 610 miles, their schedule bringing them to San Diego on July 25. After spending two and one-half days at the southern exposition they will take a boat and return to Frisco by water. One night is of citizens were present and four petitions were presented, one of which, presented by J. W. Duckworth, asked that paving of Broadway be deferred for the present year, at least. The petition, presented by Alexander Henry, and signed by a number of property owners, representing 2691 linear feet, protested against the contemplated 16 foot parking in the center of Broadway, extending the entire length of that street. The petition presented by Mr. Duckworth and J. C. Moore and others represented every property owner on Broadway, between the Santa Fe tracks and East street. The gentlemen acted as spokesmen for their neighbors and spoke earnestly for the abandonment of the paving, claiming that the residents there were, in the main, absolutely unable to finance the improvement. Some of the residents, the speakers said, would lose their property. Mrs. Isabel Hahn presented a petition, representing 1119 feet on Broadway, protesting against the parking. Mrs. Hahn, in addressing the council, also stated that many property owners were at this time unable to procure money to pay for the paving. Mrs. Hahn appealed to the trustees to defer the contemplated improvement for the present or until such time as the financial depression has somewhat cleared. L. Goble, L. E. Miller, and others, representing 1155 feet, also protested against the Broadway parking. Several of the petitioners made urgent pleas for deferring paving for the present, asserting that the exigency of the money question at this time was the cause of the dilemma. In view of the numerous protests the trustees unanimously agreed to advise the city attorney to draw up a resolution rescinding their action taken at their previous meeting, whereby the council had resolved to pave Broadway and eliminate a 16-foot strip in the center of that street to be used as a parking. At the meeting of the trustees to be held this evening City Attorney Ames will prepare the new resolution, when the deliberations of the council, in reference to the Broadway improvement, will be practically where they started. That the parking scheme will be abandoned adults of no doubt. But it is expected that the trustees will without doubt proceed to begin the paving of Broadway and expenditures of the municipal power plant. Mr. Funk maintains that the first thing to do will be to install a recording watt meter, to register exactly the maximum load at the plant. A number of details will have to be looked into, including examination of the books of the city to ascertain the original cost of the plant, its depreciation, its present cost, and other matters. How much it costs the city to put juice on the switchboard, will be ascertained in minute detail, and that information can only be gained by a thorough insight to the entire municipal plant. Mr. Funk maintains it will require a month's time for himself, and other needed help, to collect data pertaining to the cost of running the plant and also ascertaining its receipts. It is estimated that it will cost the city seven or eight hundred dollars to secure this information. The recording watt meter costs upwards of $100, and Mr. Funk, who is an expert engineer, demands $25 per day for his services. The trustees have taken the matter under advisement. The committee, appointed at the meeting of Broadway property owners last week, consisting of H. W. Braden, Dr. F. H. Houck and Mrs. Hahn, (the latter being placed upon the committee instead of Ben Dauser, who declined to serve, and asked that Mrs. Hahn be named appeared before the council as delegated, to inform the trustees of the deliberations of that meeting. Dr. Houck acted as spokesman, stating that he had been empowered to report that the meeting had finally resolved to favor paving and also a central parking, provided, however, that the latter be maintained by the city. The report was ordered filed. At the citizens' meeting upon a vote taken previously upon paving, the result stood 1700 feet against and 1300 feet in favor of the same. There were present Trustees Cook, Hamler, Stark, Schneider and Brunworth and Attorney Ames. In the absence of City Clerk Merritt, Deputy Clerk Frank Davis acted in his stead. Mr. Donahoe is circulating a petition asking the trustees to abandon the paving of Broadway, especially acreage property. A large frontage on West Broadway is used for farming purposes and the people on that thoroughfare are very much opposed to the paving. Yesterday the petition contained upwards of 2500 feet, and together with fifty members of the Columbia Park Boys' club of San Francisco. The boys range in age from 9 to 75 years, and are under command of George A. Schlitter. They left San Francisco on June 4, expecting to walk the full length of historic El Camino Real, a distance of 610 miles, their schedule bringing them to San Diego on July 25. After spending two and one-half days at the southern exposition they will take a boat and return to Frisco by water. One night is spent at each of the towns marked on their map, where an entertainment is given for the purpose of defraying expenses of the trip. The boys carry a band of 44 pieces and demonstrate their musical ability in the various towns in which they stop. The hikers arrived in Anaheim at 9:30 o'clock Friday morning, coming from Fullerton, where they spent the previous night. The boys consider Orange county an ideal place for a hike, as the towns are so close together they can spend most of their time in camp. Four stops were made between Fullerton and San Juan Capistrano, which gave them considerable time to loaf. In one hike from Santa Maria to Lompoc, on this trip, they walked 30 miles in one day. On arrival here they pitched their camp on one vacant ground east of the Masonic Temple. They live in primitive style, cooking their meals over camp fires and eating from bowls. They sleep on pads spread on the ground, with nothing but blankets between them and the twinkling stars. The band paraded the principal streets in the afternoon and rendered several selections. In the evening, at the Mason theatre, an entertainment was given with the following program: Overture... The Whip ... Orchestra Grand Entry and Marching Drill. Ballad Singing ... Charlie Senk Musical Skit ... Tom Barnett and Fred Buttleman Six National Folk Dances. Interlude—Spirit of Independence... Orchestra Pyramid Building ... 16 Boys Caruso Impersonation, Franklin Nyland Original Farce,"Dead or Alive" Cast Adolph Schultz ... Harold Hooke Oscar Grauman ... Earl Kerrigan M. T. Space, ins.

Broadway and eliminate a 10-foot strip in the center of that street to be used as a parking. At the meeting of the trustees to be held this evening City Attorney Ames will prepare the new resolution, when the deliberations of the council, in reference to the Broadway improvement, will be practically where they started. That the parking scheme will be abandoned admits of no doubt. But it is expected that the trustees will without doubt proceed to begin the paving of Broadway its entire width. The area, as at present mapped out, to be paved will extend from East street to Lemon. The western end of that thoroughfare is to be paved later. It is asserted by City Engineer Steward that the grade lines of West Broadway, now in process of readjustment, will be ready by the time the eastern end is finished, provided the work commences now. The trustees have in view the approaching rainy season, and for that reason, they assert that they are anxious to begin at this time to start the paving. Mr. McCann, Alvin Nowotny, Mr. Newcombe and others spoke against this peacemeal contract letting, as they termed it, claiming that that practice had the effect of preventing competitive bidding for the work. All the trustees argued that under the circumstances they had no alternative, as they are awaiting the easement from the Southern Pacific railroad company, whereby that corporation contemplates deeding to the city a strip for widening Broadway at its western terminus. The contract price for paving Broadway will amount to approximately $75,000, one of the largest contracts ever let by the city. Several of the speakers, who opposed paving, asked why the trustees did not begin the paving on West Broadway first, instead of starting on the east end. They claimed that people Mr. Donahoe is circulating a petition asking the trustees to abandon the paving of Broadway, especially acreage property. A large frontage on West Broadway is used for farming purposes and the people on that thoroughfare are very much opposed to the paving. Yesterday the petition contained upwards of 2500 feet, and together with those on East Broadway protesting, more than a majority of the frontage on Broadway is opposed to the paving. YORBA OIL COMPANY The Yorba oil company is a cooperative corporation owned by three oil companies holding land around the town of Yorba about six miles east of the easternmost producing well in the Brea field. The three cooperating corporations are the Petroleum company, Brand and Stevens and the Selby Oil and Gas company, the last named being a substantial operating company in Oklahoma that has acquired land in this region but so far has done no development in California. In all the three companies have some 3000 acres tied up in that vicinity, awaiting the outcome of the will cat well, now down some 2000 feet. This is the second well to be sunk on the land. The first was drilled to some 2200 feet and then lost through an accident. The indications have been just good enough to encourage the owners to spend more money. At about 600 feet they had some heavy and some gas. If they get oil in this well the effect will be to show possibilities all the way down the valley and to encourage wildcat work at all points between there and the Quintuple well at Carlton, now the nearest producer, and also in the territory further to the east. Artistic acrobatic act, by George Schlitter, Carl Levy, Stephen Petrusich and Frank Janovitz, the Charlie Chaplin clown kid, was one of the good features of the program. The singing and music was excellent, and the entertainment was appreciated by the large audience. Believing that cleanliness is akin to health the boys, as soon as they arrived in camp, spread throughout the neighborhood and borrowed all the washtubs and washboards within four blocks of the camp; cleans their clothing from the underwear on their backs out. Then they went down to the Y. M. C. A. swimming pool and washed off the stains of travel. The Columbia Park Boys' club is composed of hundreds of school boys from the various schools in San Francisco. It was founded twenty years ago by Major Sidney S. Peixotto, and for the past fourteen years has had an annual walking tour of 500 miles by 50 members of the club. The club maintains a summer camp where in a junior republic, they are encouraged to make themselves eligible for the clubs' walking trips. Besides the walking trips traveling tours have been made to Australia, New Zealand, Puget Sound, New York, and last SCHOOL BOYS THROUGH AHEIM ERS OF COLUMBIA WALKING TRIP TO SAN DIEGO ION OF THEIR ACCENTS AT MASON DAY NIGHT Panama-Pacific exposición de Panama at San Diego, at the walking delegates of the Columbia Park of San Francisco, in age from 9 to 15 under command of better.

One night is year they made a trip around the world. The expenses of the trips are paid by the receipts of the entertainments. Last year on the tour north the hikers returned home with a surplus of $800 which was turned into the club's treasury. By traversing El Camino Real this summer and passing through the wealthy and populous Southland, they expect to do much better. There are some excellent artists among them and the entertainment they gave was high class. In fact, the boys had all been selected by competitive examinations, and were chosen for the trip because of special accomplishments. The trip is an educational one, the object being to broaden the minds of the pupils' and assist them, in their school work. The Columbia Park club claims to be the greatest boys' club in America. It has set a new educational standard for boys by its military companies, its bands, drum and bugle corps, manual training departments, physical development games, musical and choral achievements, summer camps and traveling tours. The military band has been entered in a competition at the San Francisco exposition this fall in which many will contest, the capital prize being $2000. All the contestants will be required to play the overture of Wagner's "Thanhauser," one of the most difficult pieces of ORANGE SHIPPER LEAVES FOR UNKNOWN PARTS EARL GARDNER, OF GARDNER FRUIT CO. DISAPPEARS WITHOUT LEAVING ADDRESS OWES FRUIT GROWERS $700, AND TAKES WITH HIM AN UNPAID FOR AUTOMOBILE The disappearance of Earl Gardner, former manager of the Gardner Fruit company, is causing certain orange growers and other creditors considerable concern. Gardner is gone from Anaheim, and judging from the manner of his leaving it is not presumed he is coming back. He failed to leave an address either with the parties connected with him in business or with his wife. Gardner left on Saturday, July 3, shortly after cashing a check for $290 at the Anaheim National bank, which was all the money he had on deposit. He drove away in a Colby automobile which he recently purchased from Herman Stern and on which NEW FIRE TRUCK RECEIVED BY CITY Apparatus Perfect in Every Detail, Placed in Competent Hands The new Seagrave motor fire truck arrived on Saturday and was installed in the Center street room of the city hall. The truck is complete in every detail and is classed as the best fire fighting apparatus on the market. It is easy to manipulate and the chemical attachments are perfect, extinguishing a flame instantly. Many feet of hose is also carried and is within easy and convenient reach of the fire laddles. The motor has a capacity of 50 miles an hour, and when traveling at a high speed, by use of its brakes, may be stopped within a very short distance, thereby obviating any accidents, if necessary. Members of the fire company are well pleased with the truck and have given it a thorough inspection and try-out. C. J. Mauerhan is driver and has taken up his quarters at the city hall. The fire company is composed of 20 members and are all classed as expert fire fighters. ANAHEIM CITRUS FRUIT ASSOCIATION The Anaheim Citrus Fruit association located on the Southern Pacific track has ceased packing operations for boys by its military companies, its bands, drum and bugle corps, manual training departments, physical development games, musical and choral achievements, summer camps and traveling tours. The military band has been entered in a competition at the San Francisco exposition this fall in which many will contest, the capital prize being $2000. All the contestants will be required to play the overture of Wagner's "Thanhauser," one of the most difficult pieces of music in existence. The club will also enter into other musical contests. The boys left here Saturday morning for Orange, and from there jumped to El Toro. They were traveling by easy stages to San Diego. They are a clean, wholesome, healthy bunch of youngsters, and are pledged to abstain from the use of liquor, tobacco and everything injurious to health or detrimental to morals. They are under the management of men who see that the rules of the club are obeyed in every particular. Gardner began shipping oranges three months ago. The plant he conducted was operated last year by a Los Angeles firm. That firm, which was conducting business in many localities became bankrupt, and Charles Eygabroad purchased the plant here. Mr. Eygabroad leased the machinery, which is located in the Grimshaw building, at the corner of Claudina and Santa Ana streets, to Gardner, who began operations under the name of the Gardner Fruit company. He employed fifteen people in the plant and shipped fifty cars of oranges this season, valued at probably $35,000. His policy was to pay the growers when the returns were received from a car. Everything was squared with the growers with the exception of the last car shipped. This was sold in New York for $700. Gardner received the money but failed to settle with the growers. On the morning of July 3, he drew his balance of $290 from the Anaheim National Bank, and informed Earl Waldler, one of his employees of the packing house, that he was going to Los Angeles. He drove away in the machine which he purchased from Stern, and that is the last that has been seen of him in Anaheim. Waldler declares the business has been conducted in a straight and legitimate manner until the returns from the last car of oranges were received. This was made up of fruit belonging to a number of growers, two men having $200 each in the car. A small amount of wages was due a number of the operatives in the packing house, but the sum was insignificant. In fact, the various sums owed by him are small, consequently nobody has sworn to a complaint against him. ANAHEIM CITRUS FRUIT ASSOCIATION The Anaheim Citrus Fruit association located on the Southern Pacific track has ceased packing operations of its early Valencias and will hold the balance of this variety until the later markets after September 1st, when very satisfactory prices are anticipated. This association has grown in six years from 14 members and 80 carloads of oranges to over 200 members and 500 carloads of fruit, from one of the smallest to one of the largest citrus packing houses in the county. They are now busy getting their fumigating outfits in shape for the fumigating campaign which will start the first of August. This is their fourth year in this business. When they started in, practically every car of fruit contained more or less scale, making it very hard to sell to good advantage, today their fruit is clean and they are thus able to sell it more freely and get considerably more for it. The organization has given this section very valuable advertising and drawn considerable attention to it through the results obtained from their Anaheim Supreme and Mother Colony brands. They hold the record for the highest prices obtained on Valencias and have sold more fruit for $4.00 per box and better than any other packing house in the state, some bringing as high as $5.35. Curt Pechstein has departed for points in the northern part of the state, and may decide to go to Paso Robles. Waldler declares the business has been conducted in a straight and legitimate manner until the returns from the last car of oranges were received. This was made up of fruit belonging to a number of growers, two men having $200 each in the car. A small amount of wages was due a number of the operatives in the packing house, but the sum was insignificant. In fact, the various sums owed by him are small, consequently nobody has sworn to a complaint against him. Gardner has been married fourteen months, and has a wife and small child. Mrs. Gardner is firm in her belief that he will return and set himself right with the world, as she knows of no reason, why he should desert his family and his business, which appeared to be prospering. She has received no word from him since his disappearance, however, and can give no information as to his whereabouts. The packing house is closed up and the employes are seeking work elsewhere. DEER WILL BE TAME That in the course of a year or two it will be a common sight to see deer as tame as kittens frisking about the grounds at Camp Baldy, the well-known mountain resort in San Antonio canyon, to the north of Ontario, is the declaration of Manager C. T. McCulloch, following the recent passage by the state legislature of a bill creating what is known as the Angelus game reserve. The new law makes the shooting of any game, except migratory birds, a grave offense, and Manager McCulloch believes that the animals will be quick to learn that they are safe within the reserve's boundaries. The reserve extends forty miles east from a point west of Pasadena and is twelve miles in width, taking in all of the local canyons. It is also an offense for a hunter to carry game through the reserve.
