GOOD PROGRESS IN RIVER PROTECTION WORK BOARD OF TRADE ENDORSES ACTION OF COMMITTEE IN OUT-LINING NEW CHANNEL PROTECTION DISTRICT WILL BE FORMED, RIGHT OF WAY TO BE SECURED FIRST The formation of a river protection and reclamation district was the main topic discussed at the board of trade meeting on Monday night. Chas. Eygabroad, of the committee appointed to secure right of way for a channel, reported that good progress was being made along that line. He submitted a blue print showing the new lines of the proposed dikes on both sides of the channel, which will be 1100 feet wide. The lines extend from a point about a mile below the Olive bridge and go as far north as the Old Yorba bridge. The area of the proposed district takes in all the land acres of his 50 for channel purposes, was a little too much for him. Dr. Johnston stated that the tract cost him $5000 and he did not feel able to donate more than half of it for river channel purposes. As the new lines are drawn, in order to make them as straight as possible, Dr. Johnson's land is left in the shape of a pennant, which he claims is too much of a loss for him to sustain. Engineer Steward made an enlightening talk on the new channel survey, saying that while some good land was lopped off from the holdings of some of the people contiguous to the river, still by building the dike and reclaiming part of this land, more than offsets their fancied loss, inasmuch as without the reclamation work, their entire holdings bordering on the dry stream can in the main be classed only as valueless. There was much interest taken in the deliberations of the meeting and discussion of the protection and reclamation work was participated in by Messrs. C. Eygabroad, H. M. Adams, Engineer Steward, Supervisor Schumacher, F. C. Krause, Mr. Ruether, H. O. Henderson, F. N. Gibbs and others. The committee on right of way was given power to secure the same at once and report at the next meeting or earlier at a called meeting, if possible. Mr. Henderson of the entertain- Eygabroad, of the committee appointed to secure right of way for a channel, reported that good progress was being made along that line. He submitted a blue print showing the new lines of the proposed dikes on both sides of the channel, which will be 1100 feet wide. The lines extend from a point about a mile below the Olive bridge and go as far north as the Old Yorba bridge. The area of the proposed district takes in all the land north and west of the first break in the river south of the Olive bridge and extends up to the Yorba bridge. Everything below that point will be included in the Garden Grove district. The blue print lines as presented by the committee were adopted by the board of trade. The committee was also given power to proceed to secure the right of way. It is proposed to secure the right of way first before any steps are to be taken to form the district. The final lines have not as yet been definitely decided upon but in all probability will start from the first break below the bridge, will skirt along the line of Fred Weisel's place to the southeast, extending to the Ball road, to the Katella school house, to the Garden Grove road and then to the Los Alamitos school house. The people of Yorba have signified their willingness to come into the proposed district and have agreed to secure free right of way for the channel from the Santa Fe bridge north to the Yorba bridge. The north line of the district has not been decided upon, but will no doubt take in all property from Yorba to the intersecting line at Los Alamitos. How far north the lines will extend yet remains to be seen. It is anticipated that no great obstacles will be in the way of securing the right of way for the new channel, although there are several property owners who claim that large strips of their land will be taken for the new channel. For this land they claim they should be reimbursed. But it is argued that should the district be formed and the dike put in, much of their land will be reclaimed, which is now practically valueless. Thus by the reclamation process the strips of land saved, (just outside the channel) will be worth more than all of the land as now situated without the improvement. After the right of way has been secured, which in all probability will be an accomplished fact in a short time, as the committee is anxious to push discussion of the protection and reclamation work was participated in by Messrs. C. Eygabroad, H. M. Adams, Engineer Steward, Supervisor Schumacher, F. C. Krause, Mr. Ruether, H. O. Henderson, F. N. Gibbs and others. The committee on right of way was given power to secure the same at once and report at the next meeting or earlier at a called meeting, if possible. Mr. Henderson of the entertainment committee, submitted a report on the recent annual banquet and handed in a check for the tidy sum of $51.25 as proceeds of the banquet. The expenses of the same was $1.75. The committee was extended a hearty vote of thanks. The matter of paying for the new furniture now installed in the new quarters came up for discussion. It was referred to a committee who are to ascertain the cost and to then raise the money to pay for the same. Secretary Duckworth said that complaint had been made about two large holes that were left in the paving on South Lemon street by the sewer contractors. It was said there is also a bad chuck hole on Walnut street. F. N. Gibbs reported that residents in the northwest section complained of the very dusty stretch of the extension of North East street. The road is said to be in poor condition and has a tendency to divert travel from this city. Steps will be taken to have the same remedied. Secretary Duckworth reported a balance of $275 in the treasury and all bills paid. The board put the soft pedal upon an advertising scheme of a Los Angeles newspaperman who desired only $500 for a page in a forthcoming booster addition. CONCORDIA CONCERT The Anaheim Concordia gave a grand concert at the high school auditorium last night, when a large crowd greeted that popular musical organization. The singing of the Concordia was up to its usual high standard of merit. The following program was rendered: Overture ... Orchestra Wander March. Mutterherz, arr... H..

Thus by the reclamation process the strips of land saved, (just outside the channel) will be worth more than all of the land as now situated without the improvement. After the right of way has been secured, which in all probability will be an accomplished fact in a short time, as the committee is anxious to push the work, steps will then be taken to form the district, under the act of 1909, relative to river protection work. When ten real estaters petition the board of supervisors for formation of the district that body must grant the request. It requires a petition containing 51 per cent of the residents of the proposed district to protest against the formation. The assessable wealth of the property in the district is estimated at about $9,000,000, and it is computed that a levy of 90 cents on the $100 will be sufficient for all money needed to put in the proposed work. In the proposed deed there is a reservation of 100 feet on either side of the channel for road purposes. This strip is to be given to the supervisors. By having the roads on each bank it is believed that the channel banks will be greatly strengthened. The sandy strips will be oiled and gravelled, thus making a good driveway, besides one of scenic beauty. The building of the roads along the river bank is a good idea. The preliminary work is in competent hands and it is confidently expected that the river protection district will soon be formed. Dr. Johnston addressed the assembly upon the new survey for right of way and while he favors the work still he believed that to ask him to give 30 G. W. Hamler and wife and J. H. Brunworth and wife left Sunday for Bakersfield. Messrs Hamler and Brunworth are on a business mission.

EXCELLENT ENTERTAINMENT BY EBELL SOCIETY "KNOCKER" IMPRESSIVELY LAID TO REST ANAHEIM BOARD OF TRADE ADOPTS UNIQUE METHOD TO PROMOTE CIVIC HARMONY LARGE ASSEMBLAGE OF LADIES AND GENTLEMEN AT ANNUAL BANQUET The "Anaheim Knocker," if such an addle-headed creature ever lived within the confines of this city, received his quietus at the Board of Trade annual banquet given at the Valencia Hotel on Thursday night. An innocent looking little hammer, symbolic of the perverted mind that takes delight in casting opprobrium upon the city's fair name, was tenderly laid away within a miniature coffin which was placed in the safe keeping of the President and secretary of the Anaheim Board of Trade, with the added admonition that the spectre under no condition be allowed to escape. That the people of EXCELLENT ENTERTAINMENT BY EBELL SOCIETY Harold Walberg and Miss Eleanor Massard Glve Musical Numbers The Ebell society had the pleasure of presenting to its members and their guests on last Saturday afternoon Mr. Harold Walberg of Los Angeles, a violinist of note, assisted by Miss Eleanor Massard of South Pasadena as accompanist and Miss Dorothy C. Butterfield of Los Angeles as vocalist. Mr. Walberg's first number was Grieg's Sonatta, G. Major. His interpretation of this beautiful composition and description of the composer's life and home in far away Norway, the climatic conditions of this romantic little village together with the habits and temperaments of those people was most interesting and helped the audience to more fully appreciate the Sonata. Miss Massard on the piano was excellent. Miss Butterfield has a very clear sweet voice and she holds her audience from the beginning. The program was as follows: Sonata—G. Major ...Harold Walgerg (Grieg op-13) 1 Leuto dolorosa 2 Allegro vivace. 3 Allegretto tranquillo. Allegro animato. Presto. Bird of Love Divine ...(Haydn Wood) Norwegian Song ...(Kjeruef) Song of Sunshine ...(Goring Thomas) Dorothy C.

Librarian—Mrs. C. E. Chamberlain quetus at the Board of Trade annual banquet given at the Valencia Hotel on Thursday night. An innocent looking little hammer, symbolic of the perverted mind that takes delight in casting opprobrium upon the city's fair name, was tenderly laid away within a miniature coffin which was placed in the safe keeping of the President and secretary of the Anaheim Board of Trade, with the added admonition that the spectre under no condition be allowed to escape. That the people of Anaheim are to work in unison in the future is now an established fact and the municipal slogan will be "Noc-No-More." The largest representative crowd of ladies and gentlemen ever assembled in this city gathered about the festive board in the capacious banquet room of the Valencia and it was good for the eyes to see the many happy faces, everyone being bent upon making the occasion one long to be remembered in the annals of Anaheim's social circles. Two hundred plates were laid and before the banquet commenced accommodations had to be prepared for an overflow of guests arriving late. A splendid collation was provided by Messrs. Lehman & Osmun to which ample justice was done. H. O. Henderson, chairman of the entertainment committee of the board of trade, was master of ceremonies, and made a brief address of welcome. The speaker said many cities have the opportunity to provide such luxurious quarters as the guests now were occupying, but the banqueters are now enjoying a pleasure that other cities have not. The Valencia hotel takes easy rank with the best hostelries in the Southland and the projectors are to be congratulated upon their fore-sight in erecting such an imposing edifice. Mr. Barnes made a short address, referring to the sturdy pioneers who blazed the way for the formation of the Mother Colony, and spoke of the rapid strides made by the city in recent years. But while choosing wisely for an ideal location for a home for the pioneers, and while the later residents had made the town one of the best in the state, still there yet remained to be built commodious quarters for the strangers within our gates. Now that accomplishment was a patent fact and Mine Host Ziegler was to be congratulated for his enterprise. The hotel was a great credit to the city and it behooves its citizens to eviden compromising republican to make the race against William Kettner in November. This district needs a protectionist in congress and the man who gets the support of the eleventh district republicans must have a clean record on that score. Many names are mentioned in connection with the nomination and there is plenty of good timber to select from. A. P. Dresser, former secretary of the central committee, having resigned, S. M. Reinhaus of Santa Ana, was elected to fill the vacancy. Hon. P. A. Stanton, the present national committeeman from California, was endorsed in the following resolution: "Whereas, the Hon. P. A. Stanton has labored for many years in the state of California in the interests of the republican party, and, since his unceasing efforts for the past four years in the interests of the party is responsible to a certain extent for the recent selection of a republican delegation to the Chicago convention, and in his honor, be it "Resolved, that we, the republican county central committee of Orange county, most respectfully urge the delegates to the republican national convention from California to reappoint the Hon. P. A. Stanton as national committeeman for California, and that the chairman and secretary be instructed to sign these resolutions and forward a copy thereof to the Hon. C. C. Chapman at Fullerton, Cal." There will be a meeting of the Anaheim Republican club at Judge Howard's office Monday evening, at 7:30 o'clock, when the matter of selecting delegates will be discussed, and probably candidates for this section will be named. It is urged that republicans of the district attend this meeting. There will undoubtedly be a spirited contest throughout the county at this election, as a strong delegation of Fantasia (Devorak-Kriessler) Walberg Daffodil Song ... (Hayden Wood) Slumber Song ...

The music section will meet tomorrow afternoon with Miss Grimshaw. The travel section will meet at the library on the 3rd Wednesday. The executive board met with Miss Terry on Monday afternoon. It has become evident already that the farmers of the United States will get less money for their wheat than they obtained last year. They will have less to sell and the price seems sure to be lower. It is destined to be held down by the great stock in sight piled up by the immense harvest of 1915. As for the size of that crop it seems likely to fall 200,000,000 below the wonderful record made last year. The federal government report shows that the shrinkage in the winter wheat yield will be about 160,000,000 bushels, and it will be good fortune if the spring wheat harvest comes within 40,000,000 bushels of the mark set last fall. Last year, the combination of favorable circumstances was so extraordinary that it can hardly be expected to happen again right away. Joseph Helmsen has commenced the setting back of his Center street building to comply with the widened sidewalks in that block. Other property owners will shortly do likewise. Prof. E. W. Hauck, president of the board of trade came forward and with solemn eulogized the departed. Prof. Hauck said it was prop- rapid strides made by the city in recent years. But while choosing wisely for an ideal location for a home for the pioneers, and while the later residents had made the town one of the best in the state, still there yet remained to be built commodious quarters for the strangers within our gates. Now that accomplishment was a patent fact and Mine Host Ziegler was to be congratulated for his enterprise. The hotel was a great credit to the city and it behooves its citizens to keep it in a flourishing condition, in that the city might reach out and still further grow. At the conclusion of the banquet Rev. Gilmor was called forward and the reverend gentleman asked a blessing. The Master of Ceremonies called upon Herman Noll, informing the guests that while that gentleman would not indulge in any extemporaneous flights or oratory, he had something to say that meant much for the future welfare of Anaheim. Mr. Noll proceeded to narrate the short-comings of some misguided citizens who infest most localities, and held up a hammer which he took occasion to say was the emblem of the Knocker's Club. But now it was to be cast into oblivion and buried forever in so far as Anaheim was concerned. Mr. Noll very impressively handed the much abused mechanical implement to Speaker Henderson who placed the weapon into a miniature coffin which had been brought forward by Mr. Barnes. The lid was then tenderly adjusted, upon which the following words were inscribed: "The Anaheim Knocker—He will knock no more—Laid to rest May 4, 1916." Prof. E. W. Hauck, president of the board of trade came forward and with solemn eulogized the departed. Prof. Hauck said it was prop- Zette. Number 31 MUST REGISTER PARTY OR LOSE YOUR VOTE NON-PARTISAN ELECTORS CAN SUPPORT ONLY SUPERVISOR IN AUGUST PRIMARY HUNDREDS ARE EXPECTED TO RE-REGISTER AT OFFICE OF COUNTY CLERK WILLIAMS It is expected there will be many changes in registrations in Orange county before the August primary. By reason of the referendum petition, held up the measures passed at the special session of the legislature, the old law is now operative, and a voter cannot receive a party ballot unless he is registered as a party man. At the August primaries party nominations are to be made for United States senator, congressman, state senator, and assemblyman, and for these officials the "decline to state" voters will not be permitted to cast a ballot. Supervisors will be elected in the first er to speak in sorrow for those who have gone hence over the Great Divide, but upon this occasion he felt constrained to speak in glee. The hammer, he said, could do much harm, but the hammer, used together with the saw, the plane and the level, would do much good. While it has been in times past used in knocking, it should be used only when objects are to be driven. And so the knocker was laid away and is now ensconced in its coffin-like abiding place under the watchful eyes of the officials of the Anaheim board of trade. As had been given out by the entertainment committee there was to be something out of the ordinary on the program, and the gentlemen kept faith. The incidents leading up to the burial of the knocker were keenly enjoyed. Anaheim's speelbinders were not in evidence and there was no speechifying. Mr. Henderson introduced several newcomers to the assembled guests, adding that the get acquainted idea was a good one. New acquisitions to the business ranks are constantly being added and the speaker believed that upon these occasions the time was opportune for friends to meet the new citizens. F. W. Schmidt, violinist, and Miss Sidnam, pianist rendered classic music.

After the banquet the guestswere invited to inspect the hotel from lobbyto roof garden to which all availedthemselves of that opportunity. Thehotel as has been referred to in thesecolumns in the past, is one of the finestin the state. At a late hour theguests departed for their homes feelingwell repaid for their attendanceupon the annual banquet given byAnaheim's popular board of trade. The commodious quarters ofthe Mother Colony club were visitedand all proclaimed them to be amongthe finest in the country. The exhibition room of the boardof trade, as arranged by F. K. Gresswell,was favorably commented upon,the exhibits being of a high order,and artistically displayed. The assembly room has comfortablechairs and Secretary Duckworth'soffice is cozy. The billiard and poolrooms are large and airy and thereading room contains all the latestperiodicals. VALENCIA HOTEL AND CAFEFORMALLY OPENED TO PUBLIC Large Crowd In Attendance and Hostelry Ushered in Under AuspiciousCircumstances Valencia Hotel and cafe wereformally opened to the public on Saturdayevening. The spacious lobby was crowded with guests,a large crowd coming from Los Angeles and otheroutside points. Many private dinnerparties were given in the cafe and thepublic generally was on hand to makethe opening event a memorable one.The best of good fellowship prevailedand the merry pop of the champagnecork was heard. The Anaheim city band gave a concert under the brilliantly lightedmarquet, rendering a number of classicselections. The down town streetswere literally packed with people dur- reason of the referendum petition,held up the measures passed atthe special session of the legislature,theold law is now operative, and a votercannot receive a party ballot unlesshe is registered as a party man. Atthe August primaries party nominationsare to be made for United Statessenator, congressman,state senator,and assemblyman, and for theseofficials the "decline to state" voterswillnot be permitted to cast a ballot.Supervisors will be elected in the firstand third districts, the terms of H.E.Smith of the Santa Ana district andWilliam Schumacher of Anaheimdistrict expiring. For this office thecandidates for nomination will be non-partisan,and they are the only onesthe decline to state can participate in. There were 3484 voters in Orangecounty who declined to give a partyaffiliation on the registration blanks.These electors, if they wish to voteforUnited States senator, congressman,state senator or assemblyman inthe primary must appear at County ClerkWilliams office before the close ofthe registration books on July 29 andreregister, stating the partywithwhich they wish to vote. Thereis pretty certain to be a rush tothe clerk's office of those who obeyedthe behest of Governor Johnson andregistered non-partisan, and who nowfind that the action of the specialsession of the legislature has provenaboomerang, and has returned to swatthose who launched it. In the Augustprimary if a man is registered as a republican he can vote a republican ticketand no other. If he declined tostate he can get a non-partisan ticketand no other, and will be able to voteonly for supervisor. Failure to register as a party man,however, does not bar a voterfrom casting his ballot for whomsoever hepleases on the 6th of November.Allthe names will be printed on theballot which he receives from the clerk,and when he gets into the booth he isalone with his ballot and hisconscience, and nobody can dictate to him. According to County Clerk Williams'last report the total registrations inOrange county were: Republicans,9465; decline to state, 3484;progressives,1093; democrats, 3576; prohibitionists,1530; socialists, 552; progressiverepublicans, 11.

The Anaheim city band gave a concert under the brilliantly lighted marquet, rendering a number of classic selections. The down town streets were literally packed with people during the evening, many coming out to hear the band concert, giving the town a gala metropolitan appearance. A large crowd repaired to the Mother Colony club reception room where to the sweet strains of music many tripped the light fantastic toe until midnight. Mine Host Ziegler and Messrs. Lehman and Osmun fairly outdid themselves in entertaining the large crowd and all had a most enjoyable time. FINED FOR CRUELTY TO ANIMALS Two Japs and a Mexican were arrested at Buena Park a few days ago by State Humane Officer Wm. Fullerton, who chanced to be passing in that neighborhood at that time. Two horses with extremely sore shoulders were being worked by the Mexican, who was in the employ of the Jap, named Aki, who owned the horses. The men were brought to this city and lodged in jail. Justice Howard imposed a fine of $20 upon the owner of the animals and the other Jap and the Mexican was fined $10. In default of the payment of the fine the men were remanded to jail. Later in the evening the father of Aki appeared and paid the fines and the men were released. A villigent eye is being kept by the humane officers to apprehend all persons who are cruel to animals and heavy fines and jail sentences will also scienc, and nobody can dictate to him. According to County Clerk Williams' last report the total registrations in Orange county were: Republicans, 9465; decline to state, 3484; progressives, 1093; democrats, 3576; prohibitionists, 1530; socialists, 552; progressive republicans, 11.

LOARA'S POPULATION ENJOY A PICNIC Old and Young Journey out to the Park and Spend May Day On May first, at 7:30 a.m. 150 school children and parents of Loara climbed into trucks and autos and hied away to Orange county park, arriving there at 10 a.m.. They scattered in every direction until realizing that early breakfast and a long ride proved very conductive to hunger. The women of the crowd, having supplied every known eatable, long tabel were set and about 150 men, women and children sat down to a delicious luncheon. After spending some time in testing the efficiency of the cooks, they enjoyed the beauties of the big trees until 3 p.m., when ice cream, cake and bananas were given to the children first. After they could dispose of not another bite the grown ups were treated in like manntr. Promptly at four o'clock all scrambled to their places in trucks and autos for the homeward journey. The day will be long remembered by all who had the pleasure of spending it thus. If you want a good time with a jolly crowd and everything good to eat, you had better move into the Loara school district or join the Loara Parent Teachers association. We have the best of everything. Officers, trustees and teachers included. be handed to all who are guilty of this henious practice.
