GLADSOME DAYS APPROACHING SWIFTLY TODAY WILL BE SPENT BY THE PEOPLE IN VARIOUS WAYS, BUT ALL WILL EAT TURKEY CHRISTMAS SHOPPERS ALREADY WORRYING OVER PRESENTS FOR FRIENDS AND RELATIVES While notable days and annually recurring seasons of festivity are minimized here in Southern California, where there is so much of natural beauty and of natural conditions to enjoy and to be grateful for, the approach of the year’s holiday season, ushered in by Thanksgiving day, and closed with New Year’s day, five weeks later, holds out much to be anticipated gladly. Thanksgiving day, created for the purpose of giving thanks religiously, a season of fasting and of prayer, has become a day of feasting and football. Wait a minute. It isn’t all that, for there are still observed some of the good, old fashioned customs of blending into the observance of the day a morning hour passed by many persons in church service of special nature, a bounteous dinner between 12 and 2 o’clock and an afternoon passed in social pleasures. The approach of the gladsome Christmas season is and should be one of the most enjoyable periods of the We carry a full line of hams, sausages, pure meats and lard, but ANAHEIM CASH MARKED IN BRAND" marked in ANAH The approach of the gladsome Christmas season is and should be one of the most enjoyable periods of the whole twelfth month. While it is in progress there are so many preparations for proper observance of the Yuletide season—so much of making ready for charitable, church, social and other doings as to keep the enthusiastic person's nerves on fine edge. And after all, it is the anticipation, the preparation, that affords the genuine enjoyment. During the next few weeks there will be eager throngs of men and women, yes and children too, crowding the marts of this broad land, entering stores, shops and manufactories in quest of those things that they deem will be appreciated by their friends and relatives to whom they intend making gifts. One of the prettiest features of holiday observance here in favored Southern California is that of remembering those who by reason of misfortune must needs look to others entirely if they are in any sense to share the gladness of the good cheer season. Such folk are copiously remembered in every locality of this southwestern land. The preparatory, purchasing, planning and arranging season is here—to be taken advantage of and to be enjoyed by all who enter into the genuine spirit of the occasion. LIBERTY BELL HAS SOME NARROW ESCAPES Chased by a Mob In Texas and Almost Caught in a Fire in Kentucky The committee in charge of Liberty Bell, which passed through Anaheim on Friday, Nov. 2, have had some interesting experiences on the sixteen thousand mile journey. At Padneah, Kentucky, a few days ago, it narrowly escaped being caught in a fire, which would probably have destroyed it. It's most exciting experience was met while passing through Texas. At one of the cities where it stopped arrangements had been made for school children to file past and kiss it while the only. The ordinance specifies that there shall be no bars, and liquor shall not be sold in flasks, bottles or at wholesale. Under the ordinance as proposed, and as it undoubtedly will be made into law, sales of liquor can be made only at the tables of the dining room authorized by license to sell liquor. A person taking out a license must give a bond of $1000. The city trustees may refuse any and all applications. The trustees shall have absolute control over the giving and taking away of licenses, with authority to make a fixed investment as a condition to the granting of the license. At the meeting of the Seal Beach city trustees Thursday night of last week there were about fifteen prospective applicants for table licenses on hand. FOREST RESERVE OFFICIALS FILE A PROTEST Object to Granting Patents to Gall Borden on Mining Claims The Federal forest reserve service through its legal department has filled a protest with the United States land office in Los Angeles against granting patents to Gall Borden for mining claims in the Trabuco canyon in the Santa Ana mountains. The forest service proposes to make an effort to keep title to the canyon, which is one of the most beautiful in The committee in charge of Liberty Bell, which passed through Anaheim on Friday, Nov. 2, have had some interesting experiences on the sixteen thousand mile journey. At Padneah, Kentucky, a few days ago, it narrowly escaped being caught in a fire, which would probably have destroyed it. It's most exciting experience was met while passing through Texas. At one of the cities where it stopped arrangements had been made for school children to file past and kiss it, while the Texans took off their hats and cheered. Forgetting that he was south of Mason and Dixon's line, where the negro enjoys about the same social status as a stray dog, one of the guards lifted up a little negro girl and allowed her to kiss the sacred relic. This acted like a lighted match in a powder factory. The excited citizens surged wrathfully toward the train. Seeing the danger the engineer pulled out, but the crowd of enfuriated men ran after it, hurling rocks, tin cans, hunks of mud and everything loose that came to hand. Nobody was injured and the bell made its escape. SEAL BEACH WILL BE PARTIALLY WET Table Licenses Only Will be Granted To Dispensers Of Liquid Refreshments The city trustees of Seal Beach are passing an ordinance that will allow the issuance of table liquor licenses in the newly incorporated beach city at the northwest corner of Orange county. The ordinance has already been given first reading, and will come up for final passage next Thursday night. As the ordinance now reads, the city trustees will be empowered to grant licenses to sell liquor in dining rooms FOREST REGENT FILE A PROTEST Object to Granting Patents to Gall Borden on Mining Claims The Federal forest reserve service through its legal department has filmed a protest with the United States land office in Los Angeles against granting patents to Gall Borden for mining claims in the Trabuco canyon in the Santa Ana mountains. The forest service proposes to make an effort to keep title to the canyon, which is one of the most beautiful in Southern California, for the public. Borden is successor in interest to the Santa Ana Tin Mining Company, which years ago filed mining locations in the canyon on a boom idea that there was tin there. As a tin mining proposition the mines were an absolute fizzle. The promoters then turned the tide of talk toward gold and silver, and the development of the claims as a group through the installation of a mill and other equipment was upon the theory that the canyon really furnished a basis for mining claims. While there is no definite information obtainable here, it is understood that the basis of the protest by the forest service is that the claims upon which patents are asked have no real mineral value. The fear that has been expressed here was that Borden might get patents to his claims, which cover the finest portion of the wooded canyon and cover it from the steep mountain-side on one side to the steep mountainside on the other, and be able to block travel up the canyon except upon whatever conditions he might impose for travel through his property. In order to prevent such a situation, in view of the possibility that Borden may get his patents, the board of supervisors of this county through Supervisor Jasper Leck have already taken action to have a county road declared along a strip up the canyon through the Borden locations. When that strip is declared a county road it will be impossible for Borden to shut out the public from the portion of the canyon above the Borden claims. Who's Hazel? Your Druggist?

Do your ANAHEIM BEEF AND PROV WATER BOARD REDUCES PRICES OF WATER Considerable Other Business Tranacted at Saturday Meeting At a meeting of the board of dirеctors of the Anaheim Union Water company Saturday the price of water was reduced to 40c per 100 inches per hour, to take effect Monday, Nov. 22, and to remain in force until further notice. On motion duly seconded the appli-cation of A. Toussau to rent the land at the Amalgamated least for farm-ing purposes for 1916 for $500 was granted. On motion duly seconded the board ordered one Calimeter which will be installed in the open ditch in front of Mr. Canly's at Yorba Linda. On motion duly seconded the offer received from the California Portland Cement company, for cement for 1916 was referred to the president and secretary with power to act. On motion duly seconded Hugo Wetzel was granted a lease on three acres at Yorba Linda for 1916 for $10. Superintendent reported that some of the property owners in the Golden State Tract wished a connection with the company's ditch in order that they might use winter water. On motion duly seconded this was referred to the have devoted their entire acreage to the production of milo maize and it is this grain and grasshoppers, with which the valley abounds, that the turkeys hailing from that section have been fed on. No better feed for poultry could be devised than milo maize and grasshoppers. As a result the Imperial turkeys are truly im-perial in quality. Ralns were so frequent and heavy in the eastern part of the United States the past summer that fully 50 per cent of the young turkeys were destroyed. Consequently a heavy shortage exists in those sections with a resultant call for California stock. However, consumers in this state need every bird raised within the confines of California and so we will have to turn a deaf ear to orders from the east. Ranchmen in the Imperial Valley have already received about $140,000 for their turkeys, and before the holiday season is finally brought to a close they should be the richer by approximately $1,000,000. The cost of raising the birds has been nominal this year, insuring producers a handsome profit at 20 cents a pound. Turkeys are not the only poultry shipped to Los Angeles from the valley. Thousands of ducks, geese and chickens are sent to the city from Brawley, El Centro, Holville and STATE HIGHWAY COMMISSION I PREPARING FOR ROAD MAINTENANCE The California State Civil Service Commission announces that the examination for patrolman, or repair man, scheduled for September 11, 1915 has been held open and the last day for filing applications has been set for December 1, 1915. Positions pay from $2.50 to $4.00 per day. The purpose of this examination is to secure men who have had experience in the construction and maintenance of highways and who will be capable of doing repair work on the state highways. Candidates must have knowledge of the care and driving of horses and should have sufficient mechanical skill to operate a small automobile. Further information and application blanks may be secured from the civil service commission, Forum building Sacramento. Completed application must be on file with the commission on or before Dec. 1, 1915. HAM SWINDLER IS AGAIN ON THE JO McPhee Warns People to Beware of Cured Meat Peddlers The gay and festive litterant pu Cement company, for cement for 1916 was referred to the president and secretary with power to act. On motion duly sconded Hugo Wetzel was granted a lease on three acres at Yorba Linda for $10. Superintendent reported that some of the property owners in the Golden State Tract wished a connection with the company's ditch in order that they might use winter water. On motion duly seconded this was referred to the ditch committee and superintendent. On motion duly seconded the superintendent was instructed to have photographs of the siphon At Flume 7 taken at several stages of construction. Reports of the Amalgamated Oil Co., Hurley Smith & Collins Co., and the Richfield Oil company, for the month of October were received and filed. Communication and report of the water conservation association was received and filed. CALIFORNIA TURKEYS ARE IN DEMAND One Million Dollars' Worth of Birds To be Shipped From Imperial Valley California has achieved another distinction this year, that of growing the best turkeys in America. Poultry dealers are swamped with orders from the East and Middle West for California raised birds. "Never have I seen such fine specimens as Imperial Valley ranchmen are turning out this season," said W. G. Young of Los Angeles a few days ago. "We are receiving one car—700 birds—of Imperial Valley turkeys every day. Ten cars have already been unloaded and we expect to bring into the city at least one car a day until the holidays are over." Many ranchmen in the rich valley for their turkeys, and before the holiday season is finally brought to a close they should be the richer by approximately $1,000,000. The cost of raising the birds has been nominal this year, insuring producers a handsome profit at 20 cents a pound. Turkeys are not the only poultry shipped to Los Angeles from the valley. Thousands of ducks, geese and chickens are sent to the city from Brawley, El Centro, Holtville and other points in the wonderful territory lying to the south of us. The demand for ducks and geese is unusually heavy at present and there is a strong call for heavy hens. "MISSIONARYING" FOR WOOD BLOCK Paving Engineer F. P. Hamilton, of the Southern Pine Association, estimates the new wood block paving assured for New Orleans by recent public and private contract lettings at about 66,000 yards. Of this, about 55,000 yards will be laid during 1916 under contracts secured through the recent street paving awards upon competitive bids. The paving material to be used on each street paying contract was selected by the owners of abutting property. In addition, the street railway company will put about 11,000 yards between its tracks. During the fortnight Mr. Hamilton has put in a lot of time on the road. On one trip he visited Chicago, several cities in Ohio and Indiana, and then returned by a roundabout way to Texas missionarying for wood block paving all along the route. At San Antonio, which has 200,000 yards of wood block and is laying more, he found a paving force putting down wood block on a street from which asphaltic pavement was being removed. Last week he spent several days at Pen-sacola and Mobile. The gay and festive itinerant purchaser of "sugar cured" hams, the self-appointed philanthropist who comes to help out the harrassed housewife in solving the high cost of living problem, is with us once again, says the Register. In fact, he's with us twice again, for there are two of him on the road in this county, according to a report received by County Sealer of Weights and Measures George McPhee Friday afternoon from the neighborhood of Tustin, where two men were said to be calling on residents of that locality and offering to sell "sugar cured" hams, alleging that the hogs from which the meat was made were of the old-fashioned, home grown, corn fed variety. A further inducement to purchase was that the "hams" were only eighteen cents a pound, as against twenty-five cents charged for a less desirable article by the grocers and meat markets. The telephone message reached McPhee late in the afternoon and he once started an investigation, but the birds had flown before he arrived at the scene of action, although he found where one so-called ham had been sold and McPhee was able to convince the purchaser that he had acquired just a common or garden shoulder piece, such as can be bought at any local meat market or grocery for twelve and one-half cents a pound. The game is an ancient one and had been played here more or less successfully for years until a year ago Sealer...

PROVISION CO. HIGHWAY COMMISSION IS BING FOR ROAD MAINTENANCE California State Civil Service announces that the exfor patrolman, or repairled for September 11, 1915 hold open and the last day applications has been set er 1, 1915. Positions pay to $4.00 per day. These of this examination is seen who have had expericonstruction and maintenance and who will be caing repair work on the ways. Candidates must edge of the care and drives and should have sufficcal skill to operate a small information and application be secured from the civil mission, Forum building, Completed applications file with the commission Dec. 1, 1915. McPhee rounded up three of these smooth tounged swindlers and haled them into court, where they were found guilty of selling short weight shoulders for full weight sugar cured hams, and each was fined $30. Later Sealer McPhee caught another "sugarcured" ham artist and this one was fined $15, and since then there has been a marked cessation of activity in this particular line of endeavor, the arrival of the pair reported to have been in the vicinity of Tustin Fridday being the first heard of ham peddlers here for many months. "These swindlers work a double steal on their victims," said McPhee, "for not only do they sell shoulders for hams, but they short weight their customers in every case, in many instances using scales that have been fixed for the purpose so that they show from fifteen to twenty-five per cent more weight than there really is, thus affording an enormous profit." Sealer McPhee says this is about the time to expect a visit from these gentry and he strongly advises housewives all over the county to have a sharp lookout for them and to telephone him at Pacific 144, Santa Ana, whenever one of these itinerant vendors appears, and McPhee will do the rest. J. S. Haywood, a pioneer resident of Santa Ana dropped dead on the street Saturday afternoon while walking with his wife to the home of a friend for dinner. Mr. Haywood established himself in the hardware business in 1867 and conducted the enterprise until six years ago. He was a prominent Mason and had served as a member of the city council. He was hearty and active and his death came as a shock to his friends.
