NEW FIRE CHART OF CITY NOW READY FOUR FIRE WARDS AND SIXTEEN DISTRICTS DESIGNATED ON THE MAP HOW FIRE ALARMS ARE GIVEN WITH ILLUSTRATIONS FOR EACH WARD A new fire chart, designating the different wards and districts of the city has been prepared at the Gazette job office, and copies are now in the hands of Cooney Mauerhan, who will distribute them to business men and citizens throughout the community. Fire wards and districts remain as heretofore, but according to the new regulations, alarms of fire are to be telephoned the fire house instead of the power house, when the alarm will be properly given. Designations of the four fire wards are printed in red ink, while district subdivisions and instructions are in black. The fire charts should be posted in offices and in residences throughout the town. Illustrations of the manner of sounding fire alarms in each of the wards are given. Preserve the chart. It will be useful to you, not only in giving information to the power house of the location of a fire, but will tell you where the fire is when you hear the alarm. When a fire occurs, telephone its location immediately to the fire house. Ask for the fire house; Central will connect you. The proper signal willter and Los Angeles streets. District 1, Ward 4, embraces the southwest quarter of the ward, and is bounded by Center, Broadway, Olive and Broad streets. District 2, Ward 4, embraces the northwest quarter of the Ward, and is bounded by Center, Olive, Broadway and Los Angeles streets. District 3, ward 4, embraces the northeast quarter of the ward, is bounded by Center, East, Broad and Olive streets. District 4, ward 4, embraces the southeast quarter of the ward, is bounded by Broadway, East, Broad and Olive streets. Fire Alarms, How Given A fire alarm is signaled as follows: One long alarm on the fire siren, indicating a fire. This is followed by one, two, three or four shorter alarms, on the fire siren indicating the ward in which the fire is located. This is followed on the curfew whistle by one, two, three or four alarms, indicating the fire districts of the ward, the alarm for which has already been sounded. Illustration Thus, if a fire should be rung in from District 3, Ward 1, the alarm will be as follows: One long alarm on the fire siren, indicating the fire; one shorter alarm on the fire siren, indicating the fire is in ward 1; three alarms on the curfew whistle indicating the fire is in district 3, ward 1. For a fire in district 4, ward 2, the alarm will be rung in as follows: One long alarm on the fire siren indicating the fire; two shorter alarms on the fire siren, indicating the fire is in ward 2; four alarms on the curfew whistle indicating the fire is in district 4, ward 2. For a fire in district 2, ward 1, the alarm will be rung in as follows. One long alarm on the fire siren, indicating the fire; three shorter alarms on the fire siren indicating the fire is lo- When a fire occurs, telephone its location immediately to the fire house. Ask for the fire house; Central will connect you. The proper signal will be thereupon transmitted to the power house, when the alarm will be given. Fire Wards, Where Situated. The city is divided into four fire wards. Center street is the dividing line east and west and Los Angeles the dividing line north and south. Fire ward 1 embraces the southwest quarter of the city and is bounded by Center, Los Angeles and Broad streets, the Ball road and the western city limits. From the southwest corner of Broad and West streets, the city limits extend 3050 feet along the Ball Road, to the section line between sections 9 and 16. There is no road at the western city limits. Fire ward 2, embraces the northwest quarter of the city, and is bounded by North, Los Angeles and Center streets, and the western city limits. From the northwest corner of North and West streets the city limits extend west 1000 feet to the center of the section line between sections 9 and 16, and run south to the Ball road. Fire ward 3 embraces the northeast quarter of the city, and is bounded by North, East, Center and Los Angeles streets. Fire ward 4 embraces the southeast quarter of the city, and is bounded by Center, East, Broad and Los Angeles streets. Fire District Subdivisions Each of the four fire wards of the city is divided into four districts, numbered 1, 2, 3, and 4. District No. 1, in fire ward 1, embraces the southwest quarter of the ward, and is bounded by Broadway, Citron and Broad streets, the Ball road and the western city limits. District 2, ward 1, embraces the northwest quarter of the ward, and is bounded by Center, Citron, Broadway and the western city limits. District 3, ward 1, embraces the northeast quarter of the ward, and is bounded by Center, Los Angeles, Broadway and Citron streets. For a fire in district 2, ward 1, the alarm will be rung in as follows: One long alarm on the fire siren indicating the fire; two shorter alarms on the fire siren, indicating the fire is in ward 2; four alarms on the curfew whistle indicating the fire is in district 4, ward 2. For a fire in district 2, ward 1, the alarm will be rung in as follows: One long alarm on the fire siren, indicating the fire; three shorter alarms on the fire siren indicating the fire is located in ward 3; one alarm on the curfew whistle, indicating the fire is in district 1, ward 3. For a fire in district 2, ward 1, the alarm will be rung in as follows: One long alarm on the fire siren, indicating the fire; four shorter alarms on the fire siren, indicating the fire is in ward 4; two alarms on the curfew whistle, indicating the fire is in district 2, of ward 4. These four districts are in the heart of the city. For a fire in the other districts of the four wards, the alarm will be sounded in similar manner: One long alarm on the fire siren, indicating the fire, one, two, three or four shorter alarms on the fire siren, indicating the fire is in ward 1, 2, 3, or 4. This will be followed on the curfew whistle, by one, two three or four alarms, indicating that the fire is either in district 1, 2, 3, or 4 of the ward already rung in. COUNTY SEALER McPHEE RIGHT ON THE JOB Sends Back to Los Angeles Many Cans Of Biscuits Said to be Improperly Labeled County Sealer of Weights and Measures George McPhee was in town first of the week from Santa Ana, accompanied by John Avas, a pioneer resident of that city. Mr. McPhee discovered a number of cans of biscuit from the Pacific Coast Biscuit company, which he held were improperly marked, as to their contents, and were returned to the Los Angeles wholesaler. Speaking of butter shortage, he said that there are sixty million pounds of butter sold in California annually, exclusive of shipments hither from Australia and New Zealand, and butter made in small quantities by farmers throughout the state. Last year's importations from the antipodes aggregated more than a million pounds. With butter selling at 32 cents a pound, he said a shortage of 1. in fire ward 1, embraces the southwest quarter of the ward, and is bounded by Broadway, Citron and Broad streets, the Ball road and the western city limits. District 2, ward 1, embraces the northwest quarter of the ward, and is bounded by Center, Citron, Broadway and the western city limits. District 3, ward 1, embraces the northeast quarter of the ward, and is bounded by Center, Los Angeles, Broadway and Citron streets. District 4, ward 1, embraces the southeast quarter of the ward, and is bounded by Broadway, Los Angeles, Broadway and Citron streets. District 1, ward 2, embraces the southwest quarter of the ward, and is bounded by Sycamore, Citron and Center streets and the western city limits. District 2, ward 2, embraces the northwest quarter of the ward, and is bounded by North, Citron and Sycamore streets, and the western city limits. District 3, ward 3, embraces the northeast quarter of the ward, and is bounded by North, Los Angeles, Sycamore and Citron streets. District 4, ward 2, embraces the southeast quarter of the ward, and is bounded by Sycamore, Los Angeles, Center and Citron streets. District 1, ward 3, embraces the southwest quarter of the ward, and is bounded by Sycamore, Olive, Center and Los Angeles streets. District 2, ward 3, embraces the northwest quarter of the ward, and is bounded by North, Olive, Sycamore and Los Angeles streets. District 3, ward 3, embraces the northeast quarter of the ward, and is bounded by North, East, Sycamore and Olive streets. District 4, Ward 3, embraces the southeast quarter of the ward, and is bounded by Sycamore, Olive, Cen- Matthias Depwig and family have returned from Ohio after an absence of a year and ten months, and will again take up their residence in this city. Mr. Depwig states that owing to heavy rains and floods half the Ohio rye crop has been ruined, and great damage has been done to other crops by exceptional rains. He formerly resided here and is glad to get back to the glorious climate of California. OPPOSES BONDS FOR NEW CITY HALL PROGRESSIVE ARGUES IN FAVOR OF CITY PARK AND CIVIC CENTER MAINTAINS PRESENT CITY HALL IS SUFFICIENT FOR ALL PURPOSES OF MUNICIPALITY Editor Gazette:—I see that at one of their meetings lately the city council decided to call a bond election to try to raise money for a new city hall to cost $30,000. Are we in immediate need of a new city hall? I see nothing the matter with the one we are now using. The upper rooms are large, light and airy, and surely not crowded, and there is plenty of room below for the fire truck. Then there is the whole of the corner building, still vacant, with the exception of two or three rooms occupied by the engine driver and his wife. And if we needed a new one, we surely don't need one to cost $30,000. At the present price of labor and material, $30,000 would go as far as $35,000 would have done two or three years ago, $15,000, or at the very most $20,000, used during the reduced cost of labor and material, would be a very great plenty, if judiciously used, to build a very fine city hall, large and good enough for a city ten times as large as Anaheim. I am for progression, but let the progress be made where it is most needed; where it will do the most good to the most people. Not to tickle that compares with it as a desirable location for a park. Right on the main thoroughfare, on the El Camino Real, and near the center of the city. We are always talking about, yes, and spending money too, to boost Anaheim, and let the biggest booster that can possibly be devised pass unheeded. Let's do as Postmaster Ahlborn and others suggest, sell off all our other holdings, and use the proceeds to help pay for a place that would not only be an ornament, but an inestimable convenience and benefit to us, and for the many who visit our town, for whatever purpose. We may not be able to sell to advantage just now, and this depression in money affairs will not last long, but we surely should by all means, secure the above mentioned site while we can. Soon one or more owners may sell, and then the fine block would be broken and spoiled for that use. $100,000 may seem a good deal to lay out but it is not for the present alone but for the future good of Anaheim, yes for all time. Then as I said before, we don't need $30,000 for a city hall, so we wouldn't have to raise $100,000, not more than eighty-five or ninety thousand at the most. That would be the extent of the bond issue for the whole thing, and surely that is not a very great capital for a city like Anaheim to raise, when a private citizen spends thirty or forty thousands dollars for improving a single corner, and that man pays it all himself. Surely the它 could pay through our taxes, the amount needed for our enterprise, and individually we would soarcely feel it. Then with the future city hall on one corner and the library on the other, both on Los Angeles street, and our park covering the rest ofthe block, and the whole surrounded by fancy lights, we would sure have a remarkably attractive civic beauty spot, and almost in the very heart of the city, where it should be. Consider the geologic publication, although the geology of the route is described in terms that can be readily understood by the layman. The mountains, plains river valleys and rocks that are seen from the car window as apparently unrelated items in the landscape are described as parts of an orderly procession, and the story of their birth and growth is so simply told as to interest the most indifferent reader.

G. DANIELS, Prop. 134 S. Los Angeles Street Although there was a decrease in the marketed production of natural asphalt and of manufactured or oil asphalt derived from domestic sources in the United States in 1914, the decrease was more than offset by the greatly increased output from American refineries, of oil asphalt derived from crude petroleum imported from Mexico. Locally in Texas and Utah, the output of certain varieties of naturally occurring asphalt, required for special purposes, showed a gratifying increase. In California a notable increase in the output of oil asphalt, derived wholly from domestic petroleum, resulted largely from an increase in the use of asphale in highway construction in the state. Asphaltic material and products to the value of $186,142 were imported for consumption during the calendar year. Exports during the same period amounted in value to $1,247,020, leaving a trade balance of $1,060,878 to be credited to the domestic asphale industry. NORTHERN PACIFIC GUIDEBOOK Uncle Sam has spent some thousands of dollars in preparing a series of transcontinental guidebooks, telling the traveler of many of the wonders of the west which he sees from the car windows and concerning which he asks question that none of his companions can fully answer. The Northern Pacific Guidebook, one of the series, has just been published by the geological survey as bulletin 611, and it is Secretary Lane's hope that this popularly written book may get into the hands of the greatest possible number of travelers. This volume, like the other three of the series, is to be sold by the superintendent of documents, Washington, D.C. at $1 a copy. The book is in no sense a pure- Mr. and Mrs. George W.

Buena Park last Thursday voted on a proposition to create a lighting district, and decided in favor of it by a vote of 36 to 9. It was a foregone conclusion that the people would endorse a lighting system, but the majority was larger than expected. Fritz Yungbluth had the show windows in his new store brilliantly illuminated on Saturday evening, and had a fine line of gents goods on exhibition, altogether making a display of merit. Mr. Yungbluth has just completed one of the finest store buildings in the county. J. D. Lavin left on Saturday for North Dakota, where he goes to superintend the wheat harvest on his large ranch. He will be absent several weeks. Mr. Lavin appeared before the city board of equalization on Friday and secured a reduction in the assessment on his ranch of 9½ acres on South Los Angeles street from $800 to $600 per acre. The land was assessed last year at $1250, and was this year raised to $7600. The assessment now stands at $5700.

W. Benton Succumbs to His Injuries Sunday Night Another victim has been added to the list of those who lost their lives in consequence of the disaster at COUNTY BEAN GROWERS ORGANIZE EXCHANGE Three Associations Formed for Purpose of Procuring Better Prices For the purpose of securing reliable information concerning crop and market conditions, lima bean growers of this county propose to form a county exchange. Hitherto there has been no organization in this county, which grows $2,000,000 worth of beans annually, and they have to depend largely upon the buyers for information. While many of the buyers have been fair in their reports to the growers, others have not. An association was organized last week at Garden Grove and the San Joaquin growers have organized another with C. E. Utt, W. C. Jerome, William Cheney, Jonh Cook and Arthur Robinson as directors. There are 18,00 acres in this ranch which yields 60 per cent of the county's output. Monday night the Smelzer and Wintersburg growers formed a society. A central office will be established. While it may be too late for the exchange to do much in the way of marketing this year's crop, another year the sale of the beans may become the principal work of the exchange. Scores of teams have been started to work cutting lima beans on the San Joaquin ranch. These are probably the first limas cut this season, the beans maturing earlier here than elsewhere in the state. Threshing will start in two weeks. Indications up to the present are that the yield is heavier than usual. Accurate reports, however, upon the yield cannot be made until threshing begins. With the election of J. A. Knapp as president, Edward Dozier as vice-president and Edward Chaffee as secretary, the final organization of the Bean Growers' association of Garden Grove has been effected. Fred Andres and Will Stuck are also on the board of directors. Plans and specifications for the new warehouse, which will probably be erected adjoining the Walnut Growers' house, will be received FOURTH VICTIM OF WRECK DIES IN THE HOSPITAL Engineer J. W. Benton Succumbs to His Injuries Sunday Night Another victim has been added to the list of those who lost their lives in consequence of the disaster at Yorba two weeks ago in which a Santa Fe passenger train was destroyed by fire after colliding with a runaway oil car. J. W. Benton, engineer of locomotive, died at the Fullerton hospital Sunday evening, after hovering between life and death for ten days. Benton stayed with his engine when he saw the runaway bearing down upon his train, and did all in his power to avert or minimize the shock, but a second before the crash came he leaped from the cab. The train was running at almost full speed, and he sustained a fractured skull, a broken leg, several fractured ribs and internal injuries. He was saturated with oil from the spouting tank, and the fire which enveloped the track for hundreds of feet scorched him. He was taken to the hospital at Fullerton where, it was announced his chances of recovery were doubtful. The body was taken to McAulay's undertaking parlors and later shipped to his home for burial. He was 26 years of age and leaves a wife, also a father and mother. EARLY COAL MINING Maryland and the adjoining counties in West Virginia which make up what is known as the Cumberland region constitute the only districts outside of the anthracite region of Pennsylvania whose records of coal production have been kept from the earliest years. These districts have been commonly known as the Georges creek, and the Piedmont regions. The Cumberland deigion was opened in 1842 and the Piedmont region began shipping in 1853. soon. Estimates will be received for installing the bean cleaner. The campaign for securing new members will be continued.
