EASTSIDE CITIZEN COMPLAINS OF TREATMENT THINKS SOUTHEAST SECTION OF CITY IS BEING NEGLECTED BY OFFICIALS WANT STREETS OILED AND SOME OF THE DUST AND DIRT ELIMINATED Editor Gazette—I wonder how it is that the southeast part of Annaheim does not receive a little more attention than it does. We residents of this part are just as good citizens as those residing in other parts. We all pay our taxes and in every way hold up our end of the log, therefore are due to some consideration. For instance last spring they began to oll Melrose street between Broadway and Santa Ana. They oiled one side of it and instead of hauling sand by the wagon load to cover it, as everybody knows is the proper way, they took dirt—dirt, mind you, from the lots on each side of the street, and a very slight covering it got, as some of the residents on the side not oiled refused to stand for their real estate being flung across the street. There is now one half of the street fixed after a fashion, and the other half a little less than ankle deep in dust. When an auto plunges through it the dust rises in such a cloud that one cannot see across the street. That dust has to settle somewhere, and what can't get into the houses finds lodgment on our front porches, lawns and flowers.

As he was about to cross Los Angeles street, the Long Beach car was steered by its driver diagonally across the street, to pass on ahead of him, and Mr. Holman had difficulty in gliding the speeding automobile sight covering it got, as some of the residents on the side not oiled refused to stand for their real estate being flung across the street. There is now one half of the street fixed after a fashion, and the other half a little less than angle deep in dust. When an auto plunges through it the dust rises in such a cloud that one cannot see across the street. That dust has to settle somewhere, and what can't get into the houses finds lodgment on our front porches, lawns and flowers. Then the railroad bed of the track connecting the S. P. and Santa Fe roads has been lowered and the loose dirt left to be ground up by the traffic into fine powder, and whenever a vehicle of any kind rolls through it a dust much denser than that on Melrose street rises up and is swept into every house as far as Broadway. I can't say whose business it is to oil that street, but it is within our city limits, and if the railway people won't do it why do not the city authorities take up the matter and see that it is done at once by somebody. Then there are two blocks of open ditch between Olive and Kroeger streets, which is a menace to life. There are many children in that locality and some are just the proper age to toddle to that ditch and lean over to look at the water. When too late there will be a great hurrying and scurrying to demand that the water company close the ditch. But that won't give back our little citizen or fill the vacant chair. We were also promised months ago that the alley between Olive and Melrose streets would be pavaged through to Santa Ana street, but it isn't done. Also we were promised, just as long ago, that Bush street should be opened to Santa Ana street, which would be a good thing for us who own property or who live on that street. It would increase the value of our property, and would not only give us the convenience of a longer street, but by the removal of that orange grove would give us a freer circulation of air, which we need for we are pretty well hemmed in. Now if our city dads, or whoever it is whose business it is to look after these things, would only see that they are done, give to us who live comparatively close in a little attention, it would redound a little to their good name. When we look at our monthly pay roll we feel as if we are entitled to have a few of our comforts looked after. street. As he was about to cross Los Angeles street, the Long Beach car was steered by its driver diagonally across the street, to pass on ahead of him, and Mr. Holman had difficulty in eluding the speeding automobile. When the two cars were within a few feet of one another, Mr. Holman steered his car out of harm's way by running into Sast South street. The Long Beach car was wrecked against the curb at the junction of the two thoroughfares. Mr. Holman was driving with his wife at the time. He was traveling at a low rate of speed, according to his usual custom, and as he approached the intersection of the thoroughfares, had to speed up in order to avoid a collision with the oncoming Long Beach car. He and his wife alighted to lend assistance to the occupants of the car, who were severely shaken up, but suffered no serious injury. Some days later Mr. Holman received a bill for repairs amounting to $70, and he was asked to pay a part of it. This he politely refused to do, and states that inasmuch as the Long Beach car was traveling at too high a rate of speed, that it was steered on the wrong side of the road in order to get ahead of him, and that it was run into the curb in order to avoid a collision, he does not consider himself liable for any part of the damages. McKEE ORANGE AND WALNUT GROVE SOLD FOR $19,000 Geo. W. Hyde; Retired Merchant of Boston Comes into Possession of Valuable Property Robert McKee has sold his 15-acre ranch located on East Santa Ana street to Geo. W. Hyde, a retired shoe merchant of Boston, Mass., the consideration being $19,000. The sale does not include the water stock. The place contains 10 acres of Valencia oranges and 5 acres of walnuts, the former trees being 4 years old and the latter 15. Mr. McKee bought the tract seven years ago for $7000, and has realized well on his investment. The orchard is classed as being one of the best in this section, and the new owner is highly pleased with his purse.

The street sprinkler for ten years gave us entire satisfaction, but we never see him anymore. If he don't behave better we might try raising his salary. Perhaps he is frightened at the long hours he is compelled to work. We, of the southeastern part of town, believe we have rights that we feel are beng deliberately ignored. CITIZEN. LONG BACH CAR SMASHED AGAINST CURB Sidney Holman Had Difficulty In Avoiding Collision at Corner of South And Los Angeles Streets Mr. and Mrs. Sidney Holman have been sojourning at their seaside cottage at Seal Beach, and returned the first of the week to superintend the gathering of the peach crop on their West End ranch. Mr. Holman states that while driving in his touring car on South street some days ago, he narrowly escaped a serious accident at the corner of South Los Angeles street, when a high powered Chalmers car, driven by Dr. Price of Long Beach, was on its way south, going at a speed estimated by a number of citizens to be more than 35 miles an hour. Holman was about to cross Los Angeles street going east, when the Long Beach car was all but upon him. Instead of turning into Los Angeles street, he continued east on South street to Geo. W. Hyde, a retired shoe merchant of Boston, Mass., the consideration being $19,000. The sale does not include the water stock. The place contains 10 acres of Valencia oranges and 5 acres of walnuts, the former trees being 4 years old and the latter 15. Mr. McKee bought the tract seven years ago for $7000, and has realized well on his investment. The orchard is classed as being one of the best in this section, and the new owner is highly pleased with his purchase. He will take possession on November 15th. Mr. and Mrs. McKee will take a trip to the San Francisco exposition and other points of interest before again settling down on their other ranch property in this city. The sale of this property is considered one of the best made in this section this year, Mr. McKee making the deal himself. Where an orchard occupies a site that is adjacent to a large body of water, the importance of a relatively high elevation largely disappears. To be a factor in the matter, however, a body of water must be of sufficient size and depth to have an appreciable influence on the local climate. Because the water warms up in the spring more slowly than the atmosphere, it acts in effect as a refrigerator, making the temperature in its immediate vicinity colder than it is at points somewhat distant from it. For this reason vegetation within the zone of this influence advances more slowly in the spring than it does outside that zone. The tendency is for the blossoming peach trees situated within the zone to be delayed until after the season of spring frosts is past. Miss Carrie Evans who has been visiting at Hermet, returned home Sunday night. Saturday evening brought in to the Sheriff's office, loudly shop, apparently posed of the proper that the heirs of the will enter as stock realty company, and local ranch will not reason of the owners.

REDFIELD'S PUBLICITY DOPE The most ubiquitous form of pitiless publicity fostered by the Administration is that of the democratic campaign publicity bureau in the department of commerce. Since the passage of the Underwood tariff law the department of commerce has been to the perpetrators of that outrage the object of their tenderest solicitude. Every wish of the department has been indulged; every recommendation of Secretary Redfield has met with congressional sanction. The reason for this partiality is becoming more and more apparent as the months roll on. Secretary Redfield is the annointed champion of the democratic tariff policy. He has commandeered the bureau of foreign and domestic commerce (the spearhead of the department, as he terms it) and bureau on forced subsidization. He will close in 1916. MOEBIUS RESIDENCE ENTERED BY THIEF Valuable Articles Taken During Temporary Absence of Family A sneak thief entered the residence of George H. Moebius, northeast of town some evenings ago, while Mr. and Mrs. Moebius were temporarily absent, and stole two gold watches, a pair of gold rimmed spectacles, belonging to Mr. Moebius and a purse containing $22, and two fountain pens. Mr. and Mrs. Moebius had been about the residence during the day, but at the time the thief entered the former was in his barnyard feeding his hens, and the latter had gone in search of a workman to assist in irrigating the farm the following day. When Mr. Moebius entered the house he looked for his fountain pen, with which to BAND SERENADES NEW MARRIED COUPLE Ben Ter Beest and Bride Welcomed Home With Music Ben Ter Beest plays a cornet in the Anaheim city band, and as he failed to show up at the concert Thursday night the members made inquiry and learned that he had recently been married and had quit prowling around town at nights. He was located on South West street where he and his wife are living, consequently the band went down in a body and gave the young couple a serenade. The boys were invited into the house and entertained by Mr. and Mrs. Ter Beest, refreshments served by the host and hostess and music furnished by the band being enjoyed. Mr. Ter Beest and Miss Eva Koser were married at the Presbyterian church, Santa Ana, on Wednesday, July 7, Rev. Stevenson performing the ceremony. They left at once for San Diego where they spent a week viewing the sights at the fair, then returned to Anaheim and took up their residence on South West street. HEWES PARK The ultimate disposal of Hewes Park, which has long been kept open by the late David Hewes for the use of the public; is at present in question. It has been understood for some time past that Mr. Hewes intended to give the park to Orange county, but his death occurred before the action materialized. The property will, it is supposed, be administered by the David Hewes Realty Company, which was incorporated by Mr. Hewes several months ago. He himself was the principal stockholder in the $1,000,000 corporation, Donald Barker of Los Angeles, and M. J. Reid of San Francisco, being directors by virtue of $100 worth of stock held by each. The only existing will, it is believed, was made about twenty years ago. If this will does not make adverse disposal of the property, it is assumed that the heirs of the Hewes estate will enter as stockholders in the real company and hence the big outrage the object of their tenderest solicitude. Every wish of the department has been indulged; every recommendation of Secretary Redfield has met with congressional sanction. The reason for this partiality is becoming more and more apparent as the months roll on. Secretary Redfield is the appointed champion of the democratic tariff policy. He has commandeered the bureau of foreign and domestic commerce (the spearhead of the department, as he terms it) and as pressed government employs into service. With a generous allowance from Congress, dipped from the public purse, he is running as busy a little democratic campaign publicity bureau as one could wish to see. Note the following items in the appropriations for the department of commerce for the fiscal year 1916. To further promote and develop the foreign and domestic commerce of the United States, $75,000; field investigations at home and abroad, $50,000; to promote and develop the commerce of the United States with South and Central America, $75,000; for commercial attaches, $100,000. All of these sums to be expended under the personal direction of the secretary of commerce. What the secretary says goes. Here are the sinews for hidden advertising. Three hundred thousand dollars appropriated for purposes of present doubtful utility at a time when economy should have been the watchword of the government. What could have been done to further promote and develop commerce after the democratic tariff law was passed, it is difficult to imagine. The concrete result of these appropriations, aside from the money devoted to printer's ink publicity, is the appointment of a large number of deserving democrats, some of whom have been sent to Europe as commercial attachies and are drawing large salaries to study commercial conditions which are in temporary abeyance. Others as special agents, whose chief function is to gum shoe around the country, snoop into the business of manufacturers, and then render reports so partisan and abusive as to be utterly valueless for economic purposes, even if their authors had any ideas respecting the science of economy. Still others are being put on the payroll to correct the methods of collecting export statistics. The terrific slump in our export trade following democratic control convinced Secretary Redfield that the statistics of our sent, and stole two gold watches, a pair of gold rimmed spectacles, belonging to Mr. Moebius and a purse containing $22, and two fountain pens. Mr. and Mrs. Moebius had been about the residence during the day, but at the time the thief entered the former was in his barnyard feeding his hens, and the latter had gone in search of a workman to assist in irrigating the farm the following day. When Mr. Moebius entered the house he looked for his fountain pen, with which to note down the number of eggs laid by his hens, but was unable to find it. He went to procure his wife's fountain pen in another room, but found that was also missing. When his wife returned a short time later, he told him he could not find the pens, and she fearing the house had been burglarized, went into her room to see if other valuables were in their accustomed place. Opening the bureau drawer, she discovered that her purse containing $22 was gone, as well as her gold watch and chain, and a gold watch and chain belonging to her husband. A valuable brooch, which had been the property of Mr. Moebius' mother, was overlooked by the thief. On entering the residence Mrs. Moebius noticed that a five gallon oil can on the rear porch was out of position and leaking. She infers the thief entered the house from the back porch, and in his hasty flight brushed against the can disarranging its position and causing it to leak from the faucet. The police were notified and a search is being made for the stolen articles. The residence of Andrew Roederen Fullerton was also burglarized and a quantity of silverware and other valuable articles stolen. The home of John Johnson, east of the city, was also burglarized some evenings ago. FIRE DEPARTMENT VISITS SANTA ANA Runs Over to County Seat to Display New Apparatus The advertised test of the new fire apparatus, which was to have taken place at 2 o'clock Monday, failed to materialize for the reason that F. S. Hirsch, the Pacific coast agent of the Seagrave company, who was to be on hand to witness the machine in action, failed to show up at the appointed time. He arrived an hour later, however, accompanied by Mr. Burton an employee in the factory at Columbus Ohio. The intention was to start A SHOOTING AFFRAY Saturday evening Julian Hern was brought in to the county hospital by the Sheriff's office, from Delhi, seriously shop, apparently in a dying condition. Hern had been shot in the left side, the bullet entering about one inch below the left nipple, just missing the heart, and lodging back of the shoulder blade. The bullet was removed by Dr. H. E. Zaiser and found to be of 45 calibre. Another shot had taken effect under the right arm pit and lodged in the muscles of the neck. Dr. Zaiser, the resident physician at the hospital having charge of the operation, decided to allow this second bullet to remain, as it would not do any harm in that position. Although the man's life was in danger over Sunday it was learned last night that he will recover. The man who did the shooting is a Mexican named Joan Raso and has not as yet been apprehended. As far as known the shooting affray was the result of a drunken brawl. Hern is not as yet in a condition to tell a connected story. Percy Dickel made a business trip to Los Angeles Monday. Still others are being put on the payroll to correct the methods of collecting export statistics. The terrific slump in our export trade following democratic control convinced Secretary Redfield that the statistics of our export trade are incorrect to an extent sufficient to alter at times a trade balance on mercantile transactions which is actually in our favor into one which appears to be the reverse. It is apparent that Mr. Redfield received this illumination some time after August, 1914, when the balance of trade for that month was over $16,000,000 against us, and he sent Dr. Frank R. Rutter assistant chief of the bureau to the New York custom house to fix that little matter. The large exports due to war orders having for the time being put that subject in the background, Dr. Rutter is again at his desk in Washington. But it is the audacity of campaign publicity work at the taxpayers' expense which amazes. All this democratic propaganda, furthermore, is sent out under Government frank. For some months the Commerce report, which are intended to be devoted solely to matters concerning our trade have been devoted solely to matters concerning our trade, have been carrying pages of matter having nothing to do with commerce, and adulatory of the administration. In plain words, the public is getting a correspondence course at its own expense; full of partisan teaching designed to create favorable feeling toward the administration, and this whether the public wants it or not. Mr. Redfield is running a democratic campaign publicity New Apparatus The advertised test of the new fire apparatus, which was to have taken place at 2 o'clock Monday, failed to materialize for the reason that F. S. Hirsch, the Pacific coast agent of the Seagrave company, who was to be on hand to witness the machine in action, failed to show up at the appointed time. He arrived an hour later, however, accompanied by Mr. Burton an employee in the factory at Columbus, Ohio. The intention was to start a fire at some remote point, give the alarm, and time the action of the boys in getting a stream of water on the blaze. This idea was abandoned, but at 3 o'clock, the machine, in command of Fire Chief Goodrich, with Engineer Mauerhan at the throttle, City Trustee Brunworth, Mr. Hirsch, Mr. Burton and ten of the fire boys on board, tore loose from its moorings at the city hall and headed for Santa Ana. No record was kept of the time made between this city and the county capitol, but it is claimed the speed ordinances were badly fractured, and a motor cop on the highway could not get close enough to take the number. This machine has developed a horse power of 104, and its speed is 55 miles per hour. Advanced proofs of the annual report of the California development board, now in press, show large increases in the acreage of most of the California agricultural and horticultural crops. The most conservative figures for 1914 show that 6,843,845 acres were planted to field crops; 286,509 acres were table, raisin and wine grapes; the total fruit trees numbered 11,706,931 trees most of which were orange; and there were 2,994,395 almond and walnut trees. These figures were taken from the reports of the county assessors and are actual figures. By All Means Have Your Corset Fitted You have your gowns fitted, and your shoes fitted.
