SCHOOL BOND ELECTION FOR JUNE 13 SECURITY PROTECTION DISTRICT SELECTED AS NAME OF NEW RECLAMATION PROJECT BOARD OF TRADE HEARS FAVORABLE REPORTS FROM RIGHT OF WAY COMMITTEE At the regular meeting of the board of trade on Monday evening it was reported that the river channel right of way had practically been secured; Chairman Eygabroad of the committee reported that while Dr. Johnston had not as yet signed up he had agreed to abide by the decision of the committee. The board of supervisors are to be petitioned as soon as possible looking to the formation of the district. The names of ten real estaters are sufficient to bring the matters before the supervisors, but it is proposed to get as many names to the petition as possible, and the committee is working to that end.

The enrollment now is 332 and the average daily attendance 285. This is an increase of 211 in enrollment and of 181 in attendance. The average daily attendance has increased 74% since the bond issue for building the present plant was passed. During the same period of time, five years, the number of teachers has increased from 9 to 16. This is an increase of 78%, which is considerably less than one half of the percentage of increase of the average number of pupils attending. In 1910-1911 the ratio of pupils to teachers was 11.5; now it is 17.8. As soon as the bond was carried the pupil teacher ratio increased to 15.2. It has been kept at an efficient figure ever since.

Supreme Chance ed a masterful address and during the course touched on a pro-ness on the part of Chairman Eygabroad of the committee reported that while Dr. Johnston had not as yet signed up he had agreed to abide by the decision of the committee. The board of supervisors are to be petitioned as soon as possible looking to the formation of the district. The names of ten real estaters are sufficient to bring the matters before the supervisors, but it is proposed to get as many names to the petition as possible, and the committee is working to that end. A protest to the formation of a district must contain 51 per cent of residents within the proposed district. At the present writing there is no prospect of a protest being filed. It is optional with the supervisors whether or not they grant the request to form the district, and call an election to elect the three trustees, which is the first step to be taken. The north line of the district has not been decided upon, but it will no doubt embrace all lands in the survey that has a 16-foot fall to the mile, let the line fall where it may. Whether it will extend to Orangethorpe avenue remains to be seen, as some opposition exists there to the district. Messrs. E. N. Cook, F. N. Gibbs, F. C. Krause and others spoke encouragingly for the formation of river protection district and believed that the plan as outlined would succeed. The building of a road along the west bank and deeding it to the supervisors to be maintained as a public highway has struck a popular chord, and many see in that a possible solution of the overflow situation. A well packed thoroughfare along the river bank would appear to be a permanent barrier to any future high water breaking out along that point. It is proposed to have a monster petition to present to the supervisors, so that that body may morally feel the necessity of forming the district. It was agreed to christen the contemplated district "The Security Protection District." The new channel as surveyed by Engineer Steward covers the old original Santa Ana river waterway, as it existed many years ago, and then some. The new channel is 1100 feet wide, and there has been no attempt to put it outside of its original lines, which have been defined by competent authority. The special committee appointed to securer the right of way consists of the following gentlemen: C. E. Eygabroad, chairman, F. N. Gibbs, E. N. Cook, E. Borchert, Wm. Stark, John years, the number of teachers has increased from 9 to 16. This is an increase of 78%, which is considerably less than one half of the percentage of increase of the average number of pupils attending. In 1910-1911 the ratio of pupils to teachers was 11.5; now it is 17.8. As soon as the bond was carried the pupil teacher ratio increased to 15.2. It has been kept at an efficient figure ever since. The increase in attendance during the last five years has been 48, 10, 32, 12, 12% respectively. This is an average of nearly 23%. If there is an increase of 20% for each year during the next five years, the average attendance for these respective years will be 342, 410, 492, 590, and 708. The board of trade gave its hearty support to the board of health's proposal to have a clean up day on June 3rd. It is desired that every citizen get busy on that day and give the town a thorough cleaning. F. K. Gresswell submitted a statement of the furniture installed in the board of trade rooms amounting to $171.00, which that gentleman has magnanimously donated to the board of trade. It was ordered that a vote of thanks be extended to Mr. Gresswell for his handsome donation. An invitation was received and accepted from the city of Santa Ana to attend the Fiesta de Luz on June 15th. A large delegation from this city will be in attendance including all the civic bodies. The Oyster Loaf Cafe was admitted as a member. It was ordered that the next Thursday lunch be taken at the Oyster Loaf. A communication was received from the Eagles, stating that the local aerie is out to secure the next annual convention of the grand lodge of that organization, and asking for cooperation on the part of the board of trade. It was ordered that the secretary immediately dispatch a letter to the grand lodge now in session at San Diego, asking that Anaheim be named as the next meeting place of the lodge, for next year. Mr. Eygabroad contemplates an auto overland trip shortly to the Atlantic seaboard and that gentleman stated that if the board of trade would furnish a suitable banner, advertising Anaheim, he would attach it to his machine. The advertising committee was instructed to furnish the banner.

Stark, John Kellenberger, John Ruether. The bond election called by the high school trustees to issue bonds in the amount of $35,000 for adding a new study hall, library building and making other improvements at the high school, came up for discussion. The election is to be held on the 13th day of June, 1916. The polls are to be open between 8 a.m. and sundown. The district is divided into four election precincts. People in the Anaheim district will vote at the Union High school building. The other three precinct polling places are located at Lora, Magnolia and Katella school buildings. G. H. Goodale spoke in favor of the bonds, saying that the Anaheim union high school has outgrown its present quarters and more room is imperatively demanded. The school is a great credit to the entire district and the faculty is rated as the best. Mr. Goodale among his remarks cited the fact that the school maintains a library costing $6000 and has no suitable quarters for its valuable collection of books, and no safe guard from fire. He hoped that the bonds would carry. Prof. E. W. Hauck vacated the chair to take the floor to speak in favor of the bond issue. He submitted the following figures, showing the growth ASSOCIATION WILL ISSUE REGULAR BULLETINS Anaheim Supreme brand Valencias sold at New York Monday at $3.85 per box establishing for this year the highest price obtained so far for any oranges from California.

Together with other Mexicans he was engaged in excavation work for the Anaheim Union Water company. The ditch was about ten feet deep, and it is believed that a passing Santa Fe train, the company tracks running near by, caused the earth embankment to loosen and fall. Five Mexicans were buried beneath the slide. The remaining force of workmen were put to work at once to extricate the imprisoned men. In a short while the men were released, but Hermandez's life was extinct, he having sustained a broken neck. Rafael Aguirre, another Mexican, with internal injuries, was rushed to the Anaheim sanitarium for treatment. The other Mexicans escaped with slight bruises, none of which are considered of a serious nature. Hernandez's body was brought to this city, and an inquest was held at Backs & Terry's Thursday afternoon. Coroner Winbigler summoned the following jurymen: H. Bettsold, H. C. Aherns, R. Dunn, H. F. Kealiher, H. Schindler and Inmus Henry. The jury rendered a verdict of accidental death. The Orange County Forensic contest of the high schools of the county was held on Saturday at Huntington Beach. The reading of Arthur Bradley of this city was awarded second place. A selection entitled "Peggy" was given by the girls Treble Clef of the Anaheim high school. Miss Lulu Smith of this city acquitted herself well with a story entitled "Billykins's Wagon." The supervisors are negotiating with Dr. J. L. Beebe of this city for a right of way across his mountain ranch in the Santa Ana canyon. The county is to change its canyon road so that it will be further away from the river, thus avoiding washouts of the kind that have done much damage in the canyon during the last winter. Dr. Johnston owns 50 acres north of the Olive bridge and the proposed channel lops off 30 acres of his holdings, leaving the remainder in the shape of a pennant. Dr. Johnson believes he should be reimbursed for this land. The people of Yorba have secured a free right of way north from the railroad crossing to their bridge site, and are cooperating with the people here looking to a favorable termination of the right of way matter. The board of supervisors will later be petitioned to form the protection district, ten real estates signing the petition being sufficient to bring the matter before that body. Should there be no protest the board may grant the request to form the district. The assessable wealth in the proposed district is estimated at $9,000,000, and it is computed that an assessment of 90 cents on the $100.00 valuation will be sufficient to properly dredge the new river channel and construct the dike along the west bank. It is understood people owning property along the east bank of the river in the proposed area for a protection district are also in favor of forming the same, and are taking an active interest in the preliminary steps looking toward that end.

At Fullerton several purchases for right of way have been made by the agents of an unknown company, but it is believed to be the Salt Lake railway. Several days ago prominent Salt Lake railway officials were in town looking over the proposed right of way, which passes just west of the Santa Fe tracks. The visitors were T. C. Peck, general passenger agent, F. H. Adams, general agent, and Byron Jones, general traveling freight agent. They were accompanied by J. J. Tavis, the local manager for the Salt Lake, and a trip was made from Santa Ana through Tustin, El Modena, Orange, this city and Fullerton, returning by way of Garden Grove. As previously reported in these columns it is stated that the present objective point of the railroad is Newport harbor, but in all probability the line will be eventually extended to San Diego.

FINE MESS OF TROUT Fred Kern, Roy Coffman and Lee Matthews returned Friday afternoon form a fishing expedition to Big Bear Lake with the best string of trout seen in this town in many a day. Each got the limit and they reported the fishing was so good that more could easily have been landed, but the boys kept within the bounds of the law. Among their friends trout dinners were the order of the day, as the anglers made a liberal distribution of the speckled beauties among their acquaintances and all pronounced the fish the best ever. In the show windows of Kern's cycle-the fish were put on exhibition for a brief period, the trout being laid out on a large cake of ice, and were truly a tempting sight.
