ANOTHER VICTORY FOR LOCAL TEAM STERLINGS DEFEATED BY SCORE OF SEVEN TO SIX SUNDAY AFTERNOON GAME CHARACTERIZED BY MANY ERRORS AND A COUPLE OF ACCIDENTS It was a fuzzy-wuzzy game that was pulled off at the Anaheim ball park Sunday afternoon, but the invincible locals come out of the scrummage one run to the good. The swift Sterlings of Los Angeles, was the visiting team. They put up a good game in spots, but were handicapped by a couple of accidents. One of these happened in the second when Shaw, the catcher, had a finger knocked out of its socket. Pitcher Simmons pulled it back in place and tied it up with a string, but in the next inning it got misplaced again, and he was forced to go in search of a physician. At the opening of the third the score was one to nothing, the locals owning the one run, but the visitors took a spurt and got three men across the plate. The score board stood three to one until the fifth, when the second accident happened. Simmons went up in the air. The locals batted him all over the gardens, and the infielders assisted him to lose the game by making wild and excentric throws. Five men made the tour of the bases before Simmons gave it up and a substitute was put in. COUNTY ROAD PROPOSED FOR TRABUCO CANYON Effort Made to Prevent Gall Borden Shutting Out Visitors It is proposed to have a county road into Trabuco canyon so that should Gall Borden get a patent to the property known as the Santa Ana Tin Mines he will not be able to close the canyon against the public. At present the county road ends at a point half a mile up the Trabuco from the schoolhouse. There is a private road from that point far up into the Trabuco, one of the most beautiful canyons in Southern California. Borden, who is successor in interest of the tin mining company, which mined for tin but never got much if any of it, has applied to the United States land office for a patent to a number of mining claims. These claims extend entirely across the canyon and extend upward to the mouth of Holy Jim canyon, one of the branches of the Trabuco. County Surveyor McBride has prepared a petition asking that a county road be secured all the way from the end of the present county road up the canyon past the mines and into Holy Jim canyon past the last of Gall Borden's claims. This petition will be signed by two residents of the Trabuco road district and will be filed with the board of supervisors at once. The title to the right-of-way now lies with Uncle Sam. After the county takes action upon the matter it is proposed to get a map from the forest service indicating the right-of-way to the public for road use. If Gall Borden gets a patent thereafter it will be with the provision that this road remains public. SANTA ANA GROCER AMONG THE MISSING ANAHEIM SECURE ENTERPRISES SPECIAL MEETING TRADE HELD GLASS FACTORY MANUFACTURING LATEST ACCOUNTING COURAGING REPROMOTION Twenty members Board of Trade met at the library building to hear a repracturing committee had been made to tablish a glass facade which would make a manufacturing window installations. The commission A. A. Mills, Hermann Ahiborn were interested in Los Angeles regard to the establishment factory. The proposition Hurley to the manatee of the board of lows: The men who agreed to erect a factory within easy access and agreed verbally upon the structure $35,000 had been extinguished from the citizens owe them. was one to nothing, the locals owning the one run, but the visitors took a spurt and got three men across the plate. The score board stood three to one until the fifth, when the second accident happened. Simmons went up in the air. The locals batted him all over the gardens, and the infielders assisted him to lose the game by making wild and excentric throws. Five men made the tour of the bases before Simmons gave it up and a substitute was put in. With a six to three score it was a pretty safe bet at the beginning of the sixth, but the Sterlings got their second wind and made a couple of runs, and in the seventh they made another, evening up the score. After this La Franco tightened up and ended their run getting but by heavy slugging Anaheim got another man across in the eighth, giving them the game, 7 to 6. La Franco fanned fourteen men, and notwithstanding this the Sterlings made six runs. A team from the Palms will be the next victim, having been engaged for next Sunday. Some good ball is being presented to the Anaheim fans now, and the attendance should be larger. M. E. MINISTERS Following are the appointments to the Orange county M.

May, wife of a Santa Ana grocer who disappeared two weeks ago, has taken up her residence with Mr. and Mrs. Frank S. Trickey of this city. She will remain here until her husband has been located. Mr. May was prpritor of a grocery store at Santa Ana. A week ago Friday he left for Los Angeles telling his wife he would be back Saturday night. Since that time he has not been seen or heard of. The police were early appealed to, and they have been searching for the missing man throughout Southern California. It is announced that the creditors of the grocery have pooled their claims, amounting to $1700, and the establishment has been taken over by the Los Angeles Board of Trade. Mr. May was an Odd Fellow, secretary of the Moose Lodge, and was secretary-treasurer of the Maccabee Lodge. An accounting of the books of these two orders has been made. The Maccabee books were found to be perfectly straight. In the Moose books, there is seemingly a deficit of $69, although this has not been as yet definitely decided upon. The matter is one which might be explained very satisfactorily. The Moose Lodge is said to owe Mr. May $100. The theory of foul play has been advanced by some, but the general opinion is that Mr. May left owing to the failure of his business enterprise.

Chapman has traded off 1000 acres of raw land on the mesa east of Villa Park on what is known as the old road to the County Park. The property was bought three years ago by Chapman. At that time it was announced that the land would be planted to citrus fruit. The property went in on a trade whereby for a consideration reputed as approximately $475,000 to $500,000 the Exchange building, northeast corner of Third and Hill streets, was sold by Frank K. Meade to Chapman. As a part of the purchase price Chapman, who is known far and wide as one of the most extensive orange growers of Southern California, transferred to Meade the 100 acres of Orange county land. The Exchange block has a frontage of 115 feet on Third street by 120 on Hill, and is six stories high. It contains close to 100 offices and a number of stores. It is Chapman's intention to spend about $10,000 in refinishing portions of the interior and in putting the premises in first-class condition. Mr. Meade, a former Seattle capitalist, acquired the building early this year from W. J. Pearson, who purchased it from M. J. Monnette last year. HELPING EUROPEAN LABOR Toys "Made in Germany" and valued at $165,000,000 have been released from embargo and will be landed in this country. As a consequence, $165,000,000 of good American money will go to Europe to pay the workers and furnishers of material. The same Santa Claus who brings the toys here will take the money there. All of which would not be at all unfortunate were it not for the fact that there are plenty of people in these United States ready and anxious to make articles that are entirely suitable for Christmas gifts. It is estimated that every dollar spent for labor is turned over ten times a year. The laborer pays his grocery bill, the groceryman pays the wholesaler, the wholesaler pays the manufacturer, the manufacturer pays for his labor and materials, the factory employee buys a suit of clothes, the clothing merchant pays the money to his clerk, the clerk buys a theatre ticket, the theatre manager pays the actor, who, in turn, spends the money for board and clothes. Thus the money goes on its mission, giving profitable employment to an endless chain of individuals. But if that dollar is sent to Europe, it renders its service to an endless chain of Europeans, instead of an endless chain of Americans. And that makes some difference. The difference constitutes the reason for a protective tariff.

On the other ANAHEIM MAY SECURE NEW ENTERPRISE SPECIAL MEETING OF BOARD OF TRADE HELD TO CONSIDER GLASS FACTORY. PROPOSITION MANUFACTURING COMMITTEE AT LATEST ACCOUNTS HAVE ENCOURAGING REPORTS FROM PROMOTERS Twenty members of the Anaheim Board of Trade met in special session at the library building Wednesday evening to hear a report from the manufacturing committee. A proposition had been made the committee to establish a glass factory in this city, which would make a specialty of manufacturing window glass of all descriptions. The committee consisting of A. A. Mills, Herman Dickel and J. F. Ahborn were interviewed by Mr. Hurley of Los Angeles early last week in regard to the establishment here of the factory. The proposition as outlined by Mr. Hurley to the manufacturing committee of the board of trade was as follows: The men whom he represented agreed to erect a window glass factory within easy access of a railroad, and agreed verbally to commence work upon the structure at once. When $35,000 had been expended in building the plant, a donation of $2500 in cash from the citizens of Anaheim was to be given them. When, upon comple- was ideally located for a site, with plenty of natural gas and other advantages, and if the proposition was to be operated on such a grand scale, why do the promoters ask for a paltry $10,000 bonus? Some of the gentlemen present spoke encouragingly of the scheme and were willing to go right out and commence soliciting subscriptions, and donate liberally themselves, while others looked askance at the proposition and wondered if another batch of blue sky was being handed over to them. It is said that Fullerton offered a cash bonus of $5000 and a five acre tract of land, but that it was refused. There was no reason given for the refusal. A glass factory has been in operation spasmodically at Newport Beach, but at latest accounts it has discontinued, owing to financial difficulties. At Stockton, several years ago a glass factory was established but owing to financial difficulties it closed down. A couple of months ago, however, the concern was again put into operation, and it is said is doing a good business. Plenty of natural gas is available at Stockton at this time, which was not a fact several years ago. In the manufacture of glass cheap fuel is a paramount necessity. The business men of this city are ever ready to lend a helping hand to laudable enterprise, but shy at schemes that offer no tangible worth upon which to pin their faith. People of Anaheim in the past have liberally helped to finance enterprises, some of which have proven satisfactory, while others developed into the worst kinds of fakes. URGES DEFEAT Let me recapitulate: First, we had the party, whose activity was governed entirely by its own rule; next, in order to avoid abuses by reason of the laxity of those rules, laws were enacted prescribing all party activities. Now, the present so-called nonpartisan law repeals all of these party laws so far as state officers are concerned, and leaves the party activity as it was thirty years ago, subject only to whatever rules the party may make. For undoubtedly the parties will meet and express their preference for state officers in their own way. The nonpartisan law endeavors to prevent the mass of voters from using one method of determining how they should vote. It assumes that the voter should not be assisted in the deliberations attending his vote by a knowledge of the candidate's beliefs along the general lines and policies of government. First, any fair-minded man will admit the presence in every party of good and able men, who, if elected, would do well by the state. Even the nonpartisan idea must recognize this. But it assumes that if party lines were eliminated, all these so-called "good and able men" would flock together and that the irresistible force of united virtue would lead the state into glorious achievements. A beautiful theory. But how shall the sheep be divided from the goats? Whose hand will be raised to strip the sheep's clothing from some ingenious and ambitious goat? Will the sheep be permitted to flock alone, or will not the goats mingle with the sheep share in their efforts before election and in the benefits and responsibilities thereafter, thus lowering the general average, without any responsibility attached, except in some individual? Before some recent changes in our suffrage we used to indulge in the expression, that was quite pat, to-wit: "Politics makes strange bed-fellows," meaning that in politics the sheep and the goats were wonderfully mixed, even under the party system. Should we hope for any different condition under non-partisanism? Let us see. In the recent approach to nonpartisanism in the last campaign, in which I was interested in a small way, I observed that the supporters of the republican candidate for governor were The proposition as outlined by Mr. Hurley to the manufacturing committee of the board of trade was as follows: The men whom he represented agreed to erect a window glass factory within easy access of a railroad, and agreed verbally to commence work upon the structure at once. When $35,000 had been expended in building the plant, a donation of $2500 in cash from the citizens of Anaheim was to be given them. When, upon completion of the plant and the same was in running order and glass was being manufactured, $2500 more in cash and a deed to five acres of land, worth approximately $5000, was also to be given them. These sums asked from the Anaheim people aggregated $10,000, and were to be given the glass manufacturers as a bonus. The representative of the promoters claimed that a monthly pay roll of $13,000 would be maintained eight or nine months during the year. At the completion of the factory, which it was stated, would be about July 1st of next year, the company would be turning out window glass of all descriptions to the amount of $30,000 per month. They would employ about 150 or 200 men, so it was stated. The principal reason assigned for wanting to come to Anaheim was because we have handy an unlimited quantity of natural gas. The bonus asked from this city was to be put in escrow, and not a dollar was to be paid to the company until they had fulfilled their part of the contract. Several sites for the glass factory were offered. A. A. Mills agreed to sell five acres of his ranch on North street, in close proximity to the railroad, for $4000. Another site belonging to Albert Graham on Broad street, near the Southern Pacific railroad, was offered at $4700. Another belonging to Mr. Hamler in the same neighborhood of the latter was offered at approximately the same figure. In each of these cases spur tracks would have to be built to them to facilitate railroad connections. At the meeting Wednesday night some of the speakers believed that it would be well to offer a counter proposition, in that if the company would put up security that they would fulfill their part of the contract, the city of Anaheim would proceed in the matter and raise the bonus. But it was said emphatically that the glass company would agree to no counter schemes that offer no tangible worth upon which to pin their faith. People of Anaheim in the past have liberally helped finance enterprises, some of which have proven satisfactory, while others developed into the worst kinds of fakes. URGES DEFEAT OF NO-PARTY MEASURES CAPTAIN JOHN D. FREDERICKS OF LOS ANGELES OPPOSES NON-PARTISAN BILL FORMER REPUBLICAN STANDARD BEARER GIVES REASONS FOR MAINTAINING PARTIES By Capt. John D. Fredericks of Los Angeles: The proposed nonpartisan law is intended to provide for elections of state officers in a manner somewhat similar to the procedure which has been used in cities and towns, and a few counties for the last decade. For probably the last twenty years the laws have recognized the fact that parties would exist and expend efforts for the purpose of promoting the ideals for which they were created, and for the purpose of selecting officers in sympathy with those ideals. I do not mean by that that parties have only existed for twenty years, but the attempt to regulate them by law is of about that duration. The purpose of this so-called nonpartisan law is (ostensibly, at any rate) to strip away these laws for the purpose of regulating party activities, to refuse to recognize the existence of parties in state affairs, and to make it as difficult as law can make it for parties to bring support to a candidate or to a measure. This difficulty is created by the simple method of placing the candidate's name on the ballot in such a way as to prevent the great mass of voters from knowing whether he is supported by and a supporter of and a believer in the fundamental principles of some great party. That is, the proposition is to eliminate the party designation from the candidate's name, the idea being, as expressed by its friends, to prevent support coming to the candidate by reason of any desire of the great mass of voters to select a man of their own general views on political questions, average, without any responsibility attached, except in some individual? Before some recent changes in our suffrage we used to indulge in the expression, that was quite pat, to-wit: "Politics makes strange bed-fellows," meaning that in politics the sheep and the goats were wonderfully mixed, even under the party system. Should we hope for any different condition under non-partisanism? Let us see. In the recent approach to nonpartisanism in the last campaign, in which I was interested in a small way, I observed that the supporters of the republican candidate for governor were men and women practically of one way of thinking, politically. They were a party. They composed a party. They may have been sheep, or they may have been goats, according as they were described by friend or foe, but those who actually voted the republican ticket were pretty thoroughly one or the other. Let us see how it was in the camp of the great exponent of nonpartisanism. We find there the lamb and the lion (not to say "ilar") all lying down together in perfect accord. Now that the dust of the campaign has passed away, it is indisputable that the same Southern Pacific chieftain, Mr. Herrin, who is still denounced by the great nonpartisan (for what reason under the circumstances it is difficult to guess), actually and effectively supported the aforesaid exponent of nonpartisanship—and his friends and followers did likewise, and 80 per cent of his great organization did likewise. Now, according to the Sanhedrin, these were certainly goats of ancient lineage. Again, the Royal Arch and all the liquor interests of the state (goats or sheep, according to your conscience or palate) in solid phalanxes, with smug self-satisfaction, secure and serene, with a unanimity never before surpassed, rallied to the support of that same nonpartisan standard. In the redlight district of San Francisco (if such a place could exist under the moral government of the great nonpartisan) there were hardly enough republican and democratic votes to count. "All these, like sheep, had gone astray," and whether they were goats or stray sheep, they all supported this one political nonpartisan party. While in the sunny south, where goats are few and all the sheep are South Downs, the same religious zeal was displayed in support of that same nonpartisan. Strange bed-fellows, these. Certainly the benevolent and reverend citizens of Santa Ana, who had the Johnson headquarters and the "dry" headquarters together, to save expense, could not desire much in the government of the state that would give great joy to the Ancient and Benevolent Order of the Royal Arch. Yet, longer than hair, the louder she shout for the nonpartisan champion all over the state. The dryest of the dry, and the wettest of the wetthe extremes of both the saint and the sinner class, found no difficulty in get cases spur tracks would have to be built to them to facilitate railroad connections. At the meeting Wednesday night some of the speakers believed that it would be well to offer a counter proposition, in that if the company would put up security that they would fulfill their part of the contract, the city of Anaheim would proceed in the matter and raise the bonus. But it was said emphatically that the glass company would agree to no counter proposition at all. It was further learned the company had agreed to await the action of people of this city, and should they raise the bonus and secure a deed to a site and have the same placed in escrow, that the glass factory promoters would then begin erection of their plant. This latter proposition is being given attention by the committee, and developments looking to the establishment of the factory here are progressing favorably. Some of the gentlemen averred that the scheme was broached for the ultimate purpose of furthering the end of the promoters in some other direction. By securing a bonus guaranteed by the citizens of this city to the tune of $10,000, that, used as a leverage, could swing quite a considerable deal elsewhere. While none of the men present openly ventured to assert that the proposition was none but a legitimate enterprise, still they were like the gentleman from Missouri—they wanted to be shown. At the meeting Wednesday night the subject was thoroughly discussed. The proposition sounded good, almost too good to be true. If the people of Anaheim could be made to believe that the proposal was genuine there would be no trouble to raise the $10,000 bonus, it was argued by men who know. On the other hand if Anaheim is created by the simple method of placing the candidate's name on the ballot in such a way as to prevent the great mass of voters from knowing whether he is supported by and a supporter of and a believer in the fundamental principles of some great party. That is, the proposition is to eliminate the party designation from the candidate's name, the idea being, as expressed by its friends, to prevent support coming to the candidate by reason of any desire of the great mass of voters to select a man of their own general views on political questions, and confine the voters' vision of the candidate to what the so-called nonpartisans please to call their judgment of the man and his personal qualifications. No law could prevent any one or all of the parties from meeting in convention, nominating a candidate, convention, nominating a candidate, cirname on the ballot. Such action as that could be taken by any assemblage, lodge, club or other organization. It is similar to the right guaranteed us of peaceful assemblage, free speech and petition. This law cannot and does not prevent a party from expressing its views on the selection of candidates, but it attempts to make it difficult for the average voter to receive the benefit of their expression. It is not so many years since there were no party laws on our statute books. Parties were governed by their own rules. They chose delegates in caucuses and conventions entirely without state laws and under the party rules. And the election law took charge of the matter only when the political party presented the name of its candidate to the clerk of the county or the secretary of state, or other officer. There were abuses and dishonesties permitted by this loose system of party rule, and to prevent them these party rules were superseded by laws with penalties for their violation, and the activity of all party machinery was eventually prescribed in the minutest detail by law. "Purity of Election Laws" was the name usually given to these enactments. They recognized the fact, as I said in the beginning, that parties existed and would participate in elections, and they pro- Tuesday was a holiday—Christopher Columbus' day, and in consequence the banks, the post office and the Anaheim Union Water company's office were closed.
