RIVER CONTROL TAKES A NEW DIRECTION ANAHEIM AND GARDEN GROVE ARE PREPARING TO ORGANIZE SEPARATE DISTRICTS MRS. IDA DUTTON ADDRESSES BOARD OF TRADE ON PROCEDINGS OF REFORESTATION COMMITTEE Garden Grove's recent determination to go it alone in the matter of river protection, has made it necessary for the Anaheim protectionists to reorganize their plans. According to the report submitted by Chairman Eygabroad to the board of trade Monday night, the proposition now before the committee is the extension of the proposed district above and the curtailment below. Garden Grove proposes to begin its district at a point just below the Olive bridge and extend it two miles down the river. The Anaheim district would join it, the dividing line being reservoirs built," said Mrs. Dutton, "I would like to see Mr. Olmstead's check dams put in, I would like to see Mr. Sonderegger's reforestation plan adopted, and I would like to see Mr. Sherwood's channel dredged and diked. And in addition to this I would like to see a power plant erected large enough to generate sufficient electricity to furnish every house wife in Orange county with cheap energy for the performance of all her household duties." Mrs. Dutton was loudly applauded at the close of her address, and Mr. Eygabroad moved a vote of thanks to her and the Ebell society. At the suggestion of J. W. Duckworth thanks also were extended S. J. Fogy of Santa Ana and H. G. Ames of this city for legal service rendered the board for which they exacted no pay. Mrs. Dutton also reported that Engineer Olmstead had signified his willingness to lecture before the Anaheim Ebell society at some future date fixed by them, and she suggested that the chairman meet with the society and arrange for the lecture at the high school auditorium. This was agreed to. Mr. Olmstead brings steropticon views and gives an interesting talk. In response to a question by Oscar Renner as to why the approaches to the Olive bridge had not yet been built while elsewhere in the county damaged bridges had been repaired. PAY LAW TO H CITY ST. BONIFACE WITH SORR AT FUNER D FATHER CONN DELIVERS S PRIESTS A Solemn and ceremonies at the Dubbel, held at Friday morning, filled to its utmost who came from last sad measure who for seventeenth spected and estey, and who num the thousands to land. Numerous ferings of various sent in and bank altar. Garden Grove proposes to begin its district at a point just below the Olive bridge and extend it two miles down the river. The Anaheim district would join it, the dividing line being determined by a joint committee which was appointed to confer at 9 o'clock Tuesday morning. Chairman Hauck appointed O. E. Steward, F. N. Gibbs and A. A. Mills members of the Anaheim committee. The Anaheim district, according to the new plans outlined by Mr. Eygabroad, will take in Yorba, and will have a river frontage of five miles. It will begin at the old Yorba church and follow up the lines recently drawn by H. Clay Kellogg, taking in a portion of the city of Fullerton. The proposition is to first establish a channel one thousand feet wide. Then to build a dike with sand dredged from the bed of the river, making a channel four or five feet deep in the center. The dike will be 36 feet wide at the bottom, 20 feet on the top and of sufficient height to confine any flood that may come down the stream. On the top of the dike an oilled road will be made, so that autos and teams may use it as a roadway to Yorba. Piles will be driven along the inner side of the dike, and a network of barbed wire stretched on them. Trees will also be planted, and in the course of time the embankment will not only afford ample protection on this side of the river, but will form a scenic drive. The total cost of this work is estimated at from $80,000 to $90,000. Mr. Eygabroad further stated that A. A. Mills had been delving into statistics and could give definite figures on the situation. Mr. Mills produced his figures, and they indicate that the cost of the proposed work would be very small in comparison with the benefits to be derived. The assessed valuation of the district is $9,000,000, and its voting population is 4700. The total cost to the property owners would be $1.11 on the hundred dollars of valuation. A ten-year bond issue could be issued and, counting in the interest, the increase in taxes would be eleven cents per hundred for a period of ten years.

A ten-year bond issue could be issued and counting in the interest, the increase in taxes would be eleven cents per hundred for a period of ten years. He said it was to the interest of the people here to let Garden Grove split off and do their own protecting as the assessed valuation of their section was only one million dollars, whereas there was two miles of river frontage to control. The people of Olive, on the opposite side of the river, are also forming a district and will do some diking of their own. It is possible the three districts will conform to a certain class of work and will agree on the width of the channel. Mrs. Ida Dutton made a talk on a scheme for river control of much larger dimensions than the formation of a local district. She came to report the proceedings at the meeting of the Tri-counties Reforestation committee at Riverside last Wednesday. Mrs. Dutton was a delegate to that meeting from the Anaheim Ebell society. She gave a comprehensive report of the meeting and the different plans proposed for river control and conservation. Engineer Olmstead, she said had proposed a series of check dams, Engineer Sonderegger of Switzerland, abroced reforestation, G. W. Sherwood wanted the channel made large enough to carry off the waters, while she had proposed the construction of a chain of reservoirs at the head of the river for the purpose of impounding the surplus water. "I would like to see my chain of Hotel Valencia building the first of the month. F. K. Gresswell is now engaged in moving and placing the exhibits. FIVE CANDIDATES FOR CITY TRUSTEE J. J. Dwyer, G. M. Simpson and Frank Goodrich Will Enter Race Five candidates are in the field for the office of city trustee, and there are only two vacancies to fill, consequently three of them are going to be disappointed. The men who have announced themselves as willing to serve the people on the governing board of the city are John H. Cook and William Stark, present members of the board, G. M. Simpson, Frank Goodrich and J. J. Dwyer. Mr. Dwyer was spoken of a month ago as a possible candidate, but he left on a trip to Hawaii, and it was supposed he had decided not to be a candidate. However he has returned, and his petition was in circulation Tuesday. There appears to be no defined issue in the campaign, the personality of the candidates alone being the factor. For city treasurer there are only two candidates in the field. They are Charles A. Boege, cashier of the Southern County bank, and Earl R. Abbey. Mr. Boege has formerly served in this capacity and doesn't object to another term, although there is only a $5 per month salary attached to the job. There is only one candidate for city clerk, although it is a desirable job from a salary standpoint. E. B. Merritt will succeed himself without opposition unless some candidate breaks cover today, as the nominating petitions must be in the hands of County Clerk Williams on this date." Anaheim Gazette Anaheim, California, Thursday, March 16, 1916 PAY LAST RITES TO HONORED CITIZEN ST. BONIFACE CHURCH PACKED WITH SORROWING FRIENDS AT FUNERAL OF JOSEPH DUBBEL FATHER CONNEALLY OF POMONA DELIVERS SERMON AND 23 PRIESTS ASSIST IN MASS Solemn and impressive were the ceremonies at the funeral of Joseph Dubbel, held at St. Boniface church Friday morning. The church was filled to its utmost capacity by people who came from far and near to pay the last sad measure of respect to one who for seventeen years had been respected and esteemed in the community, and who numbered his friends by the thousands throughout the Southland. Numerous beautiful floral offerings of various designs had been sent in and banked on one side of the altar. In the war with Austria he was an officer, and at the decisive battle of Koniggratz his regiment was in the thickest of the fight and lost heavily. Both his captain and lieutenant being killed, he took command of the company and led it until the end of the battle. For bravery in this desperate fight he was presented with the iron cross. The survivors of that great battle have long contemplated a reunion at Berlin on July 3, 1916, the fifteenth anniversary of the bloody encounter, and it was always his dearest wish to attend, but advancing age forced him to abandon the idea. ORANGE HIGH SGHOOL DEFEATED BY ANAHEIM Local Boys Expect to Carry Off Honors in County Track Meet Saturday The Anaheim high school athletic team walloped the Orange boys on the latter's grounds Friday afternoon by a score of 77 to 48, winning first in the 100 yard, 220 yard, 110 yard hurdles, 220 yard hurdles, 50 yard dash, broad jump, shot put, discus throw and javelin throw. This indicates that Orange will make a mighty poor showing in the county track meet at FulAn improvement that will not only add considerable to the profits of the stockholders of the Anaheim Citrus Fruit Association, but will also be a benefit to Anaheim people outside the association, is being contemplated by the directors of that concern. In fact, it is more than contemplated—it has already been endorsed by the board, and is now being submitted to the stockholders. This is the establishment of an ice factory and precooling plant, which will enable the company to cool its own fruit before shipment. Also, the factory will manufacture ice Twenty-three priests from Southern California cities were present and took part in the mass which preceded the sermon. They were Revs. J. Hummert and J. Golden of San Diego; Rev. H. O. Riley of Huntington Beach, Revs. Joseph McManus, William Ford, Francis Conaty, C. Maloney, Thos. O'Reagan, E. Riordan, M. O'Gorman, Thomas Morris and J. Eagan of Los Angeles, Rev. M. J. Conneally of Pomona, Rev. Nicholas Conneally of Redlands, Fathers Vincent, O. S. B., and Gerneau, O. S. B., of Montebello; Rev. J. Prendiville of Florence; Rev. M. Murphy of Santa Monica, Rev. W. Quinlan of Pasadena; Rev. Thomas Blackwell of Downey; Rev. J. J. Gallagher of Fullerton; Revs. R. F. Burns and F. J. Dubbel of Anaheim. At the mass Rev. F. J. Dubbel, son of the deceased, was celebrant, Rev. J. J. Gallagher was deacon, Rev. Thomas Morris sub-deacon, Rev. Francis Conaty Master of ceremonies, and Rev. C. Maloney chanter. Following the mass a sermon was preached by Rev. M. J. Conneally of Pomona. His text was "Blessed are they who die in the Lord, for their works shall follow them." He delivered an eloquent address, speaking of the blameless and Christian life of the deceased, and his faculty of making a warm friend of every person with whom he came in contact. He also mentioned that for seventeen years he had daily rung the Angelus at the church, calling the faithful to prayer. eH also spoke feelingly of the prayer. He also spoke feelingly of the wife who is widowed in her old age, and the son and daughter who are both consecrated to religious work, the son as rector of St. Boniface, and the daughter as superior of St. Joseph's academy. The service lasted from 9:30 until 12 o'clock. The ushers at the church were Herman Noll and L. B. Weber. The pall bearers were C. F. Grim, Samuel Kraemer, Adolph Rimpau, W. H. Kennedy, W. L. Firman and Irs.

This indicates that Orange will make a mighty poor showing in the county track meet at Fullerton Saturday. As Fullerton was defeated the previous week by a score of 71 to 55, it is evident these two schools will stand no show with Anaheim in the county track meet at Fullerton Saturday. The Anaheim boys expect to win in a walk. There are some fast men in the team Dutch Webb, who has been said up with the grip, is on deck again, and is practicing to take part in the races.

Finney and Joseph Backs. The remains were buried in Holy Cross cemetery. Hundreds of automobiles were parked around the church during the service, and one of the longest funeral processions ever seen in Anaheim followed the remains to the grave. Joseph Dubbel was a man who will be greatly missed in Anaheim. His was a genial and sociable disposition, and every man he met was his friend. He was a man of unimpeachable integrity, and was devoted to the church which he served for so many years. For seventeen years he has rung the bells at St. Boniface for all services, also the morning, noon and evening bells, and they never failed to ring at the appointed time until his hand was paralyzed. He fell dead in front of the Anaheim National Bank last Tuesday afternoon, heart failure being the cause. Mr. Dubbel was born at Aix-la-Chapelle in Prussia, near the Belgian line. He lived but a few miles from Liege, which was the first town offering resistance to the Germans in their march through Belgium to France. He was intimately acquainted with the town and the scenes printed in the newspapers after the bombardment were familiar to him. He served in the Prussian army before coming to America, and was engaged in the Austro-Prussian and the Franco-Prussian Pole Vault—Clabby, O., first; Goxe, O., second; Dolt, O., third. 9.10.

The decorations were in green and white, the tally cards also carrying out the suggestions of Saint Patrick's day. The lucky players at the games were Mrs. A. Rimpau, who won the first prize, a silk umbrella, Mrs. Hamler the second prize, a leather hand bag, and Mrs. F. Rimpau, the booby, a lace breakfast cap. Refreshments of salads, coffee, ice cream and cake were served at the close of the games. Marking the beginning of the revival of interest in the organization, 80 members of the M. W. of A. attended a meeting of the order in Praetorian hall, Fullerton, Thursday night. Representatives from Santa Ana, and Anaheim, besides local members of the lodge, were present and following initiatory exercises for a class of 11, a banquet was held. The floor work was carried out by the Santa Ana drill team. A. C. Smithburn, formerly venerable consul of the Anaheim order was elected to that office at Fullerton and installed. "Interest in the order is to be revived,and we expect to meet the first and third Wednesday of each month," Smithburn said. Arrangements for the banquet were under the direction of Mr. Clark, James Tennant, A. C. Smithburn and U.S. Lemon. There was a twelve thousand dollar surplus in the treasury at the close of last year's business which is supposed to be distributed among the growers. With the consent of these growers this money will be used toward the erection of the plant, and each will be a stockholder in the amount due him from the surplus. The balance will be subscribed among the stockholders. None but members of the association can hold stock in the new company. It is certain to be a profitable institution, as it will only pay a good dividend on the stock but will save the fruit association $16,000 the first year, and more than this as the shipments grow larger. The directors have been gathering data relative to other pre-cooling plants maintained by associations, and they find that they not only save large sums in the annual ice bill, but enable the shippers to get their fruit market in better condition. The contemplated plant will be able to manufacture from twenty to twenty-five tons daily, which is considerably more than the association needs for its own use. The shipments average eight cars per day, and fifteen tons of ice is sufficient to cool them. The balance can be sold to private customers. Last year the association shipped four hundred cars of fruit. This year ZETTE. 1916 Number 24 PACKERS BING BIG ORRISE US FRUIT ASSO.

Young orchards are coming into bearing, and new members are being added to the association. The navel shipments will wind up this week with a crop of one hundred cars. The navels are gradually giving way to Valencias in Orange county, but there are still quite a number of orchards left. Sweets and St. Mikes will follow, and Mr. Sandilands expects to begin handling Valencias by the middle of April. ANAHEIM ORANGES EATEN IN ALL STATES Citrus Fruit Association Ships More Than 500 Boxes for Orange Day Consumption Anaheim oranges will be consumed Saturday in practically every state in the Union. In addition to those sold and distributed from the great eastern markets, Manager Sandilands reports that more than five hundred boxes were bought at the packing house and shipped to friends of the purchasers in the east. These were distributed through all section of the United States. Apropos of this Mr. Sandilands STREET PAVING IS HELD UP BY PROTEST Sixty-six names presented to trustees in opposition to matter Thursday night WILL TAKE ACTION AFTER GETTING ALL THE FIGURES AT NEXT REGULAR MEETING Evidently the condition of Broadway during the heavy rains of January did not convince all the property owners that thoroughfare needed paving, judging from the protest that confronted the trustees Thursday night when that body took up the question for consideration. A majority of the frontage on the street had been previously signed up. The work was divided into two sections, with Los Angeles street the dividing line, and resolutions of intention were published some weeks ago, fixing Thursday night as the date for hearing objections and considering the matter of ordering the work done. Anaheim oranges will be consumed Saturday in practically every state in the Union. In addition to those sold and distributed from the great eastern markets, Manager Sandilands reports that more than five hundred boxes were bought at the packing house and shipped to friends of the purchasers in the east. These were distributed through all section of the United States. Apropos of this Mr. Sandilands stated that he received three or four orders by mail from persons living in northwestern and middle-western states asking him to ship boxes to them, each one stating that he had read an account of them in the Gazette. The orders were filled and those far-away readers of the Gazette will enjoy Anaheim fruit on Orange Day. F. W. Schmidt, the music man, had a similar experience last week. He conducted a piano contest which was decided by the solving of a puzzle, and a few days ago he received a solution of the puzzle from a lady living in Wisconsin, who stated that she had read his ad in the Gazette. Business men will please observe that advertisements in the Gazette bring results even from distant states. The paper has the largest circulation of any paper in Northern Orange county, and goes to many readers throughout the eastern states. GAMBLE CONCERT CO. AT H. S. TONIGHT Musicians of Rare Ability Will Give A High Class Entertainment The third of the series of Lyceum course entertainments staged at the beginning of the season at the high school auditorium will be given this evening. The Ernest Gamble Concert company will appear tonight and give one of their splendid concerts. These people stand in the highest rank as entertainers, and those who fail to attend will miss a rare treat. Mr. Gamble was formerly solo bass at Trinity church, New York, and has few equals as a bass singer. Miss Verna Page is a violinist of rare talent, who has gained an enviable reputation and she plays on a famous Cremona violin, 180 years old. Here paving, judging from the protest that confronted the trustees Thursday night when that body took up the question for consideration. A majority of the frontage on the street had been previously signed up. The work was divided into two sections, with Los Angeles street the dividing line, and resolutions of intention were published some weeks ago, fixing Thursday night as the date for hearing objections and considering the matter of ordering the work done. Delegations of citizens from both East and West Broadway were on hand, some of them favoring the paving but the majority opposing it. Two protests, numerously signed, were on file with the clerk, and he was instructed to read them before further action was taken. The first one read: "The undersigned, being the owners of the majority of property fronting on the proposed work on the roadway of East Broadway street, in the city of Anaheim, from the westerly proposed line of South East street, produced southerly across said East Broadway street, to the easterly proposed line of South Los Angeles street, produced southerly across the roadway of East Broadway street, which work is provided for in the resolutions of intention therefor. No. 125, passed by your honorable body February 10, hereby protest against the said proposed work." "This protest is intended by us to be, and we hereby assert it is, a complete bar to any further action by your honorable body in connection with the said proposed work for six months. "We further remonstrate against the method of procedure here followed by your honorable body. We find that the improvement bond act of 1915 is an untried statute; that said act requires the sale of bonds issued at not less than par; that such bonds so issued cannot bring par, and that the contractor will be obliged to take the bonds as payment of his contract at their face value. We claim this element of uncertainty necessarily will lead to unusually high bids for the work. Many of us desire to pay cash for any street work which may be necessary. We will thus be forced to pay a bonus on account of the uncertainty in connection with the bonds of those who require time payment." In addition to barring this proposed work for six months we desire to remonstrate against the use of statutes selected by our body. We urge that Mr. Gamble was formerly solo bass at Trinity church, New York, and has few equals as a bass singer. Miss Verna Page is a violinist of rare talent, who has gained an enviable reputation and she plays on a famous Cremona violin, 180 years old. Here is an opportunity to hear one of those wonderful instruments that are said to be inhabited by his satanic magesty, who is responsible for the rare tone. Miss Alice Kuhn is the pianist, and she is master of the instrument. These Lyceum tentertainments are among the best ever presented to Anaheim audiences, as none but first class talent was considered in arranging the course. Lovers of good music should not fail to attend this one tonight. Mrs. Fred Mickle, who is a breeder of fine Plymouth Rock chickens, was showing a couple of eggs Tuesday, the product of some of her hens. They were not exactly fair samples of what her hens produce, but they show what they are capable of. One of the eggs measures 6½ x 8½ inches in circumference and weighs 4 1-2 ounces. The other is smaller, measuring 6½ x 7½ inches, and weighs 3 1-4 ounces. The largest one would have been mistaken for a goose egg. Mrs. Mickle has 120 fancy hens, and sells eggs for hatching and young chicks which she hatches in an incubator. Deputy County Clerk J. M. Backs was in town on Saturday collecting registration books for the city election, April 10. While registration for this election closed on Friday, voters in the city may register for the May presidential primary up to April 1. In addition to barring this proposed work for six months we desire to demonstrate against the use of statutes selected by our body. We urge that street work on said East Broadway, when it becomes desirable that such work be done, be carried through under the old established law of this state—namely, the Vrooman act of 1893." This protest was signed by 28 property owners, declaring a frontage of 2858 feet. The protest from West Broadway was a repetition of the above with the necessary change of name and starting point. This was even more emphatic than the previous one, as it had 38 signatures on it, representing a frontage of 7647 feet. After the reading of the first petition Alexander Henry made a short but vigorous protest against any further delay. He said he had been working for five years to get that important thoroughfare paved and he was growing tired of delays. Two-thirds of the names on the protest had previously appeared on his petition asking for paving. "If you are going to pay attention to every stumbling block that comes up in your path," said he, "you will never pave Broadway." J. A. Fay also made a short talk after the presentation of the West Broadway petition, but he was one of the protestants. "Approximately 75 per cent of the residents of West Broadway are on that petition," he declared. "We understand that five
