ANAHEIM LOSES HARD FOUGHT GAME COSTLY ERRORS GIVE THE VICTORY TO EL MODENA BALL TEAM SUNDAY SCORE WAS 6 TO 2 BUT FOUR OF THE VISITOR'S RUNS WERE GIFTS Errors were responsible for the defeat of the Anaheim baseball team Sunday afternoon at the hands of the el Modena aggregation. Only two of their six runs were made in a legitimate manner, the other four being the result of rank blunders. Manager Brandenberg has signed up an excellent bunch of players for the coming season, but in the practice games it is impossible to get them together, consequently outsiders must be substituted, which weakens the team. When the league is formed and the season opens there will be a sufficient membership on the roll to fill vacancies with good men should any prove derelict. Davis was in the game for the first time Sunday, but he is not yet seasoned and his wing gave out in the fourth inning. Davis retired from the game and Michaell was put in the box. He held out four innings and was substituted by La Porte, who pitched the ninth. These changes naturally demoralized the line-up, some of the men playing three positions during the game. Brackamente, in the box for the Orange county: "During the many years of my experience I have never seen a place where poultry is so easy to raise, and where eggs may be produced in such quantities as here in Orange county. The birds develop more rapidly, attain greater size, are more hardy, and richer in plumage, and it is less expensive to raise them than in any place we have ever heard of before." Orange county poultry has in recent years won wide recognition in the large poultry shows of the country, and in 1913, J. C. Williams, a prominent poultry man of Fullerton, won six awards with a string of Brown Leghorns, including First and Third Cocks, First Cockerel, Second Hen, Second Pullet and Fourth Pen, in the Madison Square Garden Show in New York City in the largest class of Brown Leghorns ever seen in this world famous show. Mr. Williams also won first prizes at the Kansas City and Chicago shows a few years ago. This winning of prizes attracted considerable attention at the time, and from the showing made by Orange county poultry, several poultrymen of the East have established their poultry farms in this county, believing it to be the best poultry raising district in the country. Orange county is a large producer of dairy products, and several large herds of dairy cows are fed on the green alfalfa fields of the county. The county's butter output is valued at $50,000 and the cream at $75,000. While much of the dairy products of the county are consumed at home, a large proportion of the milk and cream of the county is shipped daily to the Los Angeles creameries, where it is manufactured into butter and cheese. Santa Ana, however, now boasts two small creameries, making daily fresh butter and cheese and selling fresh cream, milk and butter-milk, and with the patronage which Davis was in the game for the first time Sunday, but he is not yet seasoned and his wing gave out in the fourth inning. Davis retired from the game and Michaeli was put in the box. He held out four innings and was substituted by La Porte, who pitched the ninth. These changes naturally demoralized the line-up, some of the men playing three positions during the game. Brackamente, in the box for the visitors, was effective most of the time, but had an occasional lapse of wildness. He permitted eight hits and retired twelve men by strike-outs. His support was good, few errors being made by the El Modenas. Davis struck out four and gave the visitors four hits, Michaeli retired five and allowed seven hits, while one hit was made off LaPort and one strike-ou was recorded in his favor. The line-up was: Anaheim—Vetter 2b. Joe Michaeli, 1b, La Port rf, Jess Michaeli ss, Davis p, Witzel c, Evans lf, La Plante 3b, Gordon cf. El Modena—Reyes lf, D. La France 2b, Armbell ss, A. La France, 3 b, Morales c, Rentria cf, Mendoza rf, F. Brackamente 1b, B. Brackamente p. There is a movement on foot to organize a league for the coming season. The managers of the Anaheim team have an excellent list of men on the string and they expect to have a pennant winning team in the league. A few years ago Anaheim maintained a base ball team that treated all visitors alike and it easily won the pennant of the interurban league, losing only two out of fourteen games, and those were sacrificed through over confidence. We have the timber here for one of the best amateur teams in Southern California, and we also have an excellent park. There will be no weak spots in the line up when the season opens, and lovers of baseball will be given an opportunity of seeing good ball on their home grounds. AN IDEAL PLACE FOR RAISING POULTRY Some of the Finest Birds in the World Produced Here The wonderfully equable climate, the dryness of the atmosphere, and the ideal soil and water conditions of Orange county combine to make this section one of the most successful for poultry raising in the entire United county's butter output is valued at $50,000 and the cream at $75,000. While much of the dairy products of the county are consumed at home, a large proportion of the milk and cream of the county is shipped daily to the Los Angeles creameries, where it is manufactured into butter and cheese. Santa Ana, however, now boasts two small creameries, making daily fresh butter and cheese and selling fresh cream, milk and butter-milk, and with the patronage which is usually accorded a company of this kind, the creamy industry will no doubt grow in importance in this city. The quality of the products is unexcelled, and there is reason to believe that the industry will prove a profitable one. The dairy herds of the county are fed largely on hay, principally alfalfa, and bran, while sugar beet pulp and molasses forms a part of the cow's bill of fare. Conditions in Orange county are favorable for dairying, as they are for almost any other industry, and the value of dairy products here are increasing materially from year to year. SEAL BEACH ASKING FOR INCORPORATION Long Beach Drys Opposing It, Fearing New Town Will be Wet A petition, which has been in circulation asking for the incorporation of Seal Beach has been completed. This petition will be published, and then presented to the Board of Supervisors. At Long eBach the Drys are considerably worried over the movement to incorporate Seal Beach, as they fear that it will put saloons within but a few minutes' ride of Long Beach. It has been denied at Seal Beach that there is any likelihood of the establishment of saloons. It is freely admitted, however, that after incorporation there will be issued a limited number of licenses allowing liquor to be sold with meals. It is declared that while the table licenses are in contemplation, numerous other projects are in the minds of those promoting the incorporation plan. Among these projects are paved streets, street lights and fire and police protection. Attorney Hight of Long Beach who had charge of the petitions declares that the petition for incorporation contains the name of almost every resi- AN IDEAL PLACE FOR RAISING POULTRY Some of the Finest Birds in the World Produced Here The wonderfully equable climate, the dryness of the atmosphere, and the ideal soil and water conditions of Orange county combine to make this section one of the most successful for poultry raising in the entire United States. It is a well-known fact that California produces some of the finest poultry known in this country, and it is coming to be generally known that big-little Orange county is one of the largest and finest producers, the production of poultry and eggs of this county being valued at $1,500,000 annually. The principal sections where poultry is raised for market are about Garden Grove, Buena Park, Fullerton, Anaheim and the country adjacent to Santa Ana. While it is here that the larger poultry yards are located and of course the best specimens may be seen, a large part of the poultry and eggs supply comes from the small rancher and the city resident. There is hardly a ranch in the country but there are to be found a few hens or turkeys, or ducks, the flock varying from a half dozen to a few hundred, and many of the city dwellers have their own private poultry yard furnishing products for their individual use. Many of the poultry farms are models of neatness and cleanliness, and the stock does exceptionally well here with proper care and attention. Poultry men of wide acquaintance with various sections of the country, have expressed in no uncertain terms their admiration for Orange county as a poultry district. This is what one poultry man has to say about It is declared that while the table licenses are in contemplation, numerous other projects are in the minds of those promoting the incorporation plan. Among these projects are paved streets, street lights and fire and police protection. Attorney Hight of Long Beach who had charge of the petitions declares that the petition for incorporation contains the name of almost every resident of Seal Beach. Hights said that he knows nothing of any plan to make Seal Beach a wet resort. Unexpected strength has developed in the ranks of the opposition. It is not so much to the incorporation of the city as it is to the proposal to give table liquor licenses. The petition for the formation of the municipality was filled with the county clerk by Attorney J. C. Burke on Monday. The petition is in the usual form, and bears the signatures of seventy-four resident voters of the beach town. It is stated in the petition that the population of the place proposed to be incorporated is 526. Under the law the population must be at 500. That those favoring the incorporation have but little to go on is conceded. Those opposing declare that the population is not 500. When the petition to the board of supervisors asking for an incorporation election is heard at 10 o'clock on September 7, a delegation of the opposition will be on hand to question the population. It is more than likely that with that question raised, the board of supervisors will order that a new census be taken and a report made to the board. H. F. Ashley was appointed aide-de-camp on the staff of Commander-in-chief Schofield of the Southern California Veterans' association. ADVOCATES PARK INSTEAD OF NEW CITY HALL BONDS FOR ERECTION OF NEW MUNICIPAL EDIFICE MEET WITH OPPOSITION PARK OF MORE IMPORTANCE TO CITIZENS AND BUSINESS MEN OF COMMUNITY On August 14, there was an article in the Anaheim Gazette, wherein our firemen wanted to get their measures taken for rubber coats, hats and boots, which they think belong to the fire department, and it does. They should be well supplied with rubber garments which should be furnished by the city. The taxpayers have to pay for the same and our city treasury ought to be able to stand for that much of an outlay. The city collects about $14,000 a year from its saloons which up other town in Southern California the size of Anaheim can boast of doing. That's going some? Then we see by another paper of August 14, that Anaheim is going to have a new city hall, that's going some more, if the present city hall is condemned, it must come down, if not condemned it ought to remain. How long ago is it since they fixed up the court rooms and they are very comfortable. How long ago is it since they fixed the prison cells and we have never heard of a prisoner escaping, and how long is it since they built that 10-foot wall around the property. And now it has all got to be torn down. When that $30,000 bond elec- ANOTHER BIG 10e ENAMELWARE SPECIAL Saturday at 2 P.M. 8-quart enameled dish pan, also 5 and 6-quart lipped sauce pans in gray mottling on heavy steel base.

MEETS DEATH IN AUTOMOBILE COLLISION OLE HAMPTON DIES AT LONG BEACH HOSPITAL FROM INJURIES RECEIVED SUNDAY WAS ONE OF PARTY OF EIGHTEEN EN ROUTE FOR SEAL BEACH TO SPEND THE DAY Death traveled with a truck load of Anaheim pleasure seekers who left here Sunday morning for a day's outing on the sands at Seal Beach. There were eighteen persons in the truck, which was driven by the owner, J. Gottschalk. Ole Hampton, an employee of the Gibbs Lumber company, was of the party and elected to ride on the running board of the car, which indescretion cost him his life. A mile this side of Seal Beach on top of the hill which overlooks the town and the ocean, the truck met an auto coming from the beach. Just as the two met another machine, driven by John A. Van Winkle of Huntington Beach, which was coming up behind the truck, turned out with the intention of running around it. Van Winkle evidently did not see the oncoming auto until it was too late. Perceiving that a collision was imminent he made a quick turn and dashed into the side of the truck. Hampton, who was riding on the footboard, was brushed off and run over. Van Winkle’s auto was wrecked and he was thrown to the ground. Mrs. Van Winkle was cat- city hall, that's going some more, if the present city hall is condemned, it must come down, if not condemned it ought to remain. How long ago is it since they fixed up the court rooms and they are very comfortable. How long ago is it since they fixed the prison cells and we have never heard of a prisoner escaping, and how long is it since they built that 10-foot wall around the property. And now it has all got to be torn down. When that $30,000 bond election is called we taxpayers ought to take a good squint at the present city hall and see if it is right to tear it down and build it up again at an expense of $30,000. It ought not to come down and all we taxpayers ought to vote a great, big No against it. Anaheim is about as old in years as any town in Southern California, and from its resources and revenues ought to be farther along in progress than it is, compared with our neighboring towns. Have the civic center promotors fallen by the way side, or are they scared out by the high valuation our honorable city trustee put on the proposed park property. How would he like some one to put a corresponding valuation on his own property, just for a booster, you know. Anaheim surely ought to have a park, and it should be right in the heart of the town, where the civic center promotors have selected for it. Near the business center and right on the grand highway. Every business house in town would be benefited by it. In a Los Angeles paper we read where Frank Carpenter goes from country to country, and for the good of American readers, tells of the resources and progress of each place he visits, and especially does he make mention of the beautiful parks in the hearts of the cities and towns, and they are a great drawing card, for each community. Some years ago our citizens were talking park pretty strongly so they had a band stand built for a center piece for it. The poor old band stand has been moved from place to place, all about the town and still has no home. Don't let us go back to those days, let's go forward and get a park as the people of Anaheim have so long wanted and needed. Just for a change let's do some thing more than just talk, talk, talk. Hot air is too cheap for we Anaheimers to indulge in too freely. INVESTIGATOR. Judgment for $957 has been given the Griffith Lumber company in superior court against Francis E. Crawford. Max Nebelung has returned from a visit to the San Diego exposition. He expects shortly to leave for San Francisco to view the exposition in that city. Frank Dyer and family have returned from a two weeks' stay at Anaheim Landing. Frank is an expert swimmer and he says the old bay is the best bathing place on the coast. Special letters of administration have been given J. Buel. Warren upon the estate of Catherine Eastland, who died at Anaheim on February 8, 1913. Warren succeeds W. K. Hoyt in control of the estate. Hoyt, who was executor, died on July 25. The Buena Park Eastern Star chapter will give a lawn social and box party at the home of Mr. and Mrs. J. B. Reeve on the La Marida road on Friday, August 28. Everybody is invited. Games and other amusements will be indulged in. G. E. Bruns was in town the first of the week from Santa Ana. Mr. Bruns owns 20 acres of Valencia oranges east of this city the crop from which some months ago sold at $500 per acre. He states that a month after he made the sale he could have secured $700 per acre, and that if he had held the crop to the present date it would be worth $900 per acre. The trees are nine and five years old, the orchard being divided evenly between the older and younger trees. Mr. Bruns paid $25,000 for the orchard and in three years has taken $20,000 in fruit from the trees. The orchard is one of the finest in the state. Miss Callye Sparks on Tuesday evening last gave a reunion party for the Seven Sisters and their friends. Miss Clarissa Bridge and Miss Imogene Griesmer were not present, as they are now living in Los Angeles. Japanese lanterns were used to make the rooms more attractive. The evening was spent with games and late in the evening peach ice cream, cake and candy were served to the Misses Lila Abbot, Gladys Gervals, Myrtle Helin Edna Mills, Callie Sparks and against Daniel Hanniff. John A. Van Winkle of Huntington Beach, which was coming up behind the truck, turned out with the intention of running around it. Van Winkle evidently did not see the oncoming auto until it was too late. Perceiving that a collision was imminent he made a quick turn and dashed into the side of the truck. Hampton, who was riding on the foot board, was brushed off and run over. Van Winkle's auto was wrecked and he was thrown to the ground. Mrs. Van Winkle was catapulted into the windshield and hung suspended in the frame until released. Hampton was picked up and taken to a hospital at Long Beach where, it was announced, he was suffering from internal injuries, but at the time it could not be determined how serious they were. Monday morning the physicians decided upon an operation as the only means of saving his life, but it was of no avail as he died shortly afterward. Backs & Terry's ambulance brought the remains to their undertaking parls where the funeral was held Tuesday afternoon at 2 o'clock, and the remains wear buried in Anaheim cemetery. Hampton was 24 years of age, and has been an employee of the Gibbs Lumber company for a number of years. Two years ago he was married to Francesca Crespin, and he leaves a widow and one child. He is highly spoken of by all his acquaintances, who are shocked to learn of his untimely death. No other members of the Anaheim party were injured, and the truck was only slightly damaged. Van Winkle, driver of the Ford which caused the accident, is 70 years of age. He sustained a broken collar bone, a dislocated shoulder and other injuries, and was removed to a sanitarium at Long Beach where he now lies in a serious condition. Mrs. Van Winkle, who is an aged lady, was cut and bruised about the face and body, and was removed to her home. It is apparent, according to the testimony of those who witnessed the accident, that Van Winkle is to blame, as he cut in to go around the truck without ascertainting that the road was clear. OIL NOTES The Standard has brought in well No. 15 on the Murphy lease. It is flowing about 1500 barrels per day.

Valentine, fifty years old, an ornamental plasterer of Los Angeles, while bathing Sunday at Anaheim landing. Efforts of a physician to revive Valentine with a pulmotor were unavailing. Valentine expired while attempting to swim ashore from a boat to which he and several women bathers had been clinging. When only a short distance from the shore his face appeared under the surface. His friends thought for a time he was trying to show them how long he could float in this position. They became alarmed after he had remained in the same posture several minutes and rescued the body, which was later removed to Mottell's funeral parlors and prepared for removal to the Valentine home. George Clark of Los Alamitos is searching for his daughter Essie, aged 16, who, he believes has eloped with J. E. Wells. The couple went to a dance at Seal Beach Wednesday and failed to return. Wells had been forbidden the Clark home. W. L. Kreusher and wife have been spending a week or more at Escondio, returning home Friday evening. Miss Callye Sparks on Tuesday evening last gave a reunion party for the Seven Sisters and their friends. Miss Clarissa Bridge and Miss Imogene Griesmer were not present, as they are now living in Los Angeles. Japanese lanterns were used to make the rooms more attractive. The evening was spent with games and late in the evening peach ice cream, cake and candy were served to the Misses Lila Abbot, Gladys Gervals, Myrtle Hein, Edna Mills, Callye Sparks and Messrs. Frank Ritchie, Clarence Chamberlain, Alvin Wolf, Joo Wellman and Albert Hess. J. W. Walls has returned from Imperial, where he has disposed of his business and will locate here. Mr. Walls says the weather in the interior has been warm, the thermometer standing at from 115 to 120 in the shade, but he adds that a man doesn't have to stand in the shade if he doesn't want to, and can go out and stand in the sun if he so desires. He states that on a visit made to Salt Lake City some time ago, he saw many houses which were constructed from lumber brought from Newport harbor many years ago. This lumber was conveyed to the Mormon city by ox teams. The superior court has ordered that an interlocutor decree of divorce given Simeon T. Corum against Frankie B. Corum last December be set aside and vacated. Mrs. Corum in court stated that she made no appearance in the divorce trial through ignorance of the law. After the decree was entered, Corum and his wife continued to live together, Corum promising that he would have the decree set aside. He did not fulfill his promise. Recently a warrant was issued for his arrest on a charge of failure to provide for two minor children. OIL NOTES The Standard has brought in well No. 15 on the Murphy lease. It is flowing about 1500 barrels per day. This well immediately adjoins the famous gas well that burned for so many months, and could be seen for miles around. No. 13 on the Graham & Loftus lease, the well that has cost so much money, is now in good shape and is being perforated ready to bring in. No. 50 on the Graham & Loftus is giving a little trouble just now. The rotary tools struck a boulder at about 625 feet and the hole has begun to run crooked. The hole has been cemented at that point and the work will shut down for a few days to let it set, when a string of standard tools will be lowered and the boulder drilled. After that it is expected work with the rotary will be resumed. Well No. 6 on Coyote lease No. 2, has been cemented off at 2950 feet. On the Toussau lace the Union has started drilling on No. 1. Joe Hessel, wife and family, were in Los Angeles Sunday visiting Joe's parents. Anton Hessel and wife came down from Los Angeles this week on a visit to their son Joe and numerous friends here. Mr. and Mrs. Peter Gernau of San Gabriel accompanied them. Jesus M. Martinez, accused of stealing some baled barley hay from M. F. Hughes near this city plead not guilty Saturday, and his trial was set for August 30, with bail fixed at $200.

TO RIVAL STANDARD Incorporate in Sacramento With a Capitalization of $35,000,000 With an authorized capital of $35,000,000 the Shell Oil company has filed its articles of incorporation with the secretary of state of California. The incorporators are J. C. Van Eck, president of the Shell company of California, Incorporated, a New York corporation; John Lawson of Burlingame, W. Meischke-Smith and H. H. Gallagher of San Francisco, and Balfour D. Adamson of Oakland. This new corporation is the biggest rival of the Standard Oil company in the west and is controlled by Dutch and English capitalists. Under the Blue Sky laws its officers must file with the state corporation department a complete report of all the holdings in land, personal property and contracts of the company, together with a detailed statement of what it expects to do with the money now on hand or to be received later from the sale of its products and securities. The purpose of the new company is to take over the Shell company of California, Limited, with a capital of $4,000,000, the other properties owned or controlled by the company, including the California Oilfields, Limited, property in the Coalinga field, the Valley Pine Line company whose lines extend from Coalinga field to Martinez, where a large tank farm has been built with a capacity of 55,000 barrels and the new refinery under construction at that port. The pipe line has been completed about half the distance of 180 miles, has been tested and oil sent through to one of its pumping stations. Under the new incorporation, which absorbs the Shell Company of California the American Gasoline company is also absorbed. It has a capitalization of $750,000. The filing of the articles of the new company, it is said, means a war to the knife for the control of the gasoline production of California and ultimately the product of the world.

Los Angeles Street The Gazette Reliable Clean Newsy Official Paper $1.50 Per Year Good Advertising Medium MUST SPEAK ENGLISH The bureau of naturalization has pointed out its views as to the proper course in training the alien populations in American citizenship. While showing the impossibility of laying down any hard and fast rules on the subject, the letter declares that the prime requisite is ability to speak the English tongue. It is through this medium alone, that aliens can acquire a practical knowledge, both in and out of the schools of our institutions. Above all they should be taught that the supreme authority in this country is the law and that the first duty of an American citizen is obedience to that law even though it may seem an unwise objectionable law; the remedy in the latter case being through constitutional methods to modify or change the law, but that in all cases the first duty of American citizenship is obedience to the law as written. BIG GAIN OF VOTERS The gain in voting population of California during the past year has been 59,975, according to figures compiled by Secretary of State Frank C. Jordan's office. The figures are based on recent registration returns from all counties of the state. The 1915 registration total for all the counties is 1,279,320. In 1914 the total was 1,219,345, the difference representing the gain for 12 months. Before the year closes, however, the 1915 figures are expected to be even larger.
