PRONOUNCED PROGRESSIVE PEOPLE MANY BUSINESS MEN PARTAKE OF SPLENDID NOONDAY MEAL SEVERAL BRIEF ADDRESSES MADE COMPLIMENTING CITIZENS ON PROGRESSION The business men's luncheons given every Thursday at noon, usually at the Valencia Cafe, are growing in popular favor by the citizens of this city. Covers were laid for thirty upon the occasion of the last gathering and the excellent dinner was heartily enjoyed by all. Messrs. Lehman & Osmun always strive to please their patrons and their tables contain the best the markets afford. On Thursday several strangers visiting here, who were in attendance, were called upon by Secretary Duckworth for brief remarks at the conclusion of the repast. Charles F. Scott, representing the D. C. Heath company, text book publishers, who was a guest during the day of Prof. Prince, of the high school, briefly addressed the assembled guests. Mr. Scott said in all his travels throughout Southern California, and Arizona he had never seen as fine a hotel as the Valencia, for a town the size of Anaheim. He said the business men with whom he had met were of the progressive class, were wide awake, and were ever ready to work for the uplift of the city. from blowouts. The bursting of an inflated casing on the aeroplane in which were Aviators Edelman and Newcomb and Tommy Brodwick, well known parachute jumper, threw all three men into the bay at Anaheim Landing on Tuesday night, when a night flight and parachute jump were planned for the delectation of the visitors at the combined resorts of Anaheim Landing and Seal Beach. The aviators were about to ascend and were skimming along on the beach when the tire suddenly blew out, causing the machine to swerve quickly into the water. All three of the sky pilots were catapulted out of the aeroplane into the water. Although the two aviators sustained severe bruises, Brodwick escaped uninjured. The ascent was to have been made so that Brodwick might leap from the aeroplane at great height and descend to earth under the glare of the colored scintillators and searchlights from the end of the pier. BALBOA SEEKING FOR QUEEN OF WATER SHOW All Orange County Towns are Asked To Put up Candidate Balboa is looking for a queen to rule over its Water Show to be held August 10, 11 and 12, and all Orange county will be given a chance to name the fair ruler. The putting up of candidates for the imperial office is now in order, according to R. T. Sims, Balboa booster, who is in charge of the water show publicity. Sims is spending a great part of his time in Orange county cities, stimulating interest in the contest for naming a queen. He suggests that lodges and societies put up candidates, and each candidate have a manager to have Mr. Scott said in all his travels throughout Southern California, and Arizona he had never seen as fine a hotel as the Valencia, for a town the size of Anaheim. He said the business men with whom he had met were of the progressive class, were wide awake, and were ever ready to work for the uplift of the city. Mr. Ward of the Taggart Auto company, formerly of Redondo, but who is to make Anaheim his home for the next few weeks, said Anaheim was one of the best towns for business on the coast, and at present is showing more building activity than any town he has visited, bar none. Mr. Ward is in the automobile business and says that the local garages compare favorable with those of the larger cities. Mr. Duckworth called upon Dr. J. L. Beebe for a speech, but he refrained from going into any extended remarks. Dr. Beebe facetiously told his auditors not to eat too much upon this occasion and cautioned his hearers to be temperate in all things. Dr. Beebe usually upon public occasions has something good to say for Anaheim, but as brevity is the soul of wit, he hoped his auditors would pardon him for not taking any oratorical flights at this time. The Valencia Cafe is enjoying a very good trade, many out of town patrons, being among their regular guests. The proprietors cater to theatre parties, besides many private dinners are also served to local residents. EXCELLENT RECORD OF DISTRICT ATTORNEY'S OFFICE Only Three Acquittals of Ninety-Seven Felony Cases in Two Years The biennial report of District Attorney West to the attorney general shows that of ninety-seven felony cases taken into the superior court and tried by the district attorney's office during the past two years, but three cases of acquittal resulted. Those who have followed the systematic, thorough methods followed by District Attorney West and Deputies Koepsel and Eden have often commented upon the fact that such a large proportion of prisoners brought into the superior courts plead guilty. That is not due to any unusual penitence prevailing among persons lerk- NEW NOTES OF COUNTY Korean Stabbed by Mexican: Close to death, I. C. Kim, a Korean, was taken to the county hospital Wednesday. Mariano Villuneva, a sugar factory Mexican, who attacked Kim with a knife has escaped capture. Kim has three wounds in the abdomen, one of them a long cut that reached through to the intestines. At the red house this side of Delhi a number of Koreans make their home. Wednesday night festivities were under way. Four or five Mexicans, including two women, one of whom was Villuneva's wife, were there, and the crowd was merrily engaged in dancing. One or two of the Mexicans became somewhat intoxicated, and the Koreans decided it was time to end the party. That was about 9 o'clock. Mariano resented being told to go home. He was in for a night's dancing, and he did not propose to have his cup of joy emptied in any such manner. The putting up of candidates for the imperial office is now in order, according to R. T. Sims, Balboa booster, who is in charge of the water show publicity. Sims is spending a great part of his time in Orange county cities, stimulating interest in the contest for naming a queen. He suggests that lodges and societies put up candidates, and that each candidate have a manager to have charge of her campaign. Tickets, entitling the purchaser to a vote will be put on sale at one cent each. The queen contest will close at 6 p.m., Monday, August 7. The successful contestant will be crowned at a big costume ball which will be given at the Balboa pavilion on the evening of the day preceding the opening of the water show, namely, August 9. It is promised that the ball will eclipse anything of a like nature ever before staged in this county. The water show association is hard at work on its three-day program and one of the most remarkable series of aquatic events ever put on in Southern California will soon be announced. The matter of producing a big water pageant was brought up, and by vote it was decided that an appropriate pageant be produced. It is highly probable that the pageant selected will be the discovery of the Pacific by Balboa.

Those who have followed the systematic, thorough methods followed by District Attorney West and Deputies Koepsel and Eden have often commented upon the fact that such a large proportion of prisoners brought into the superior courts plead guilty. That is not due to any unusual penitence prevailing among persons jerked up for crime, but is due to the fact that the office gets its evidence into such shape that attorneys frequently see the handwriting on the wall before the trial begins and advise their clients that the quickest and easiest way to face justice is to plead guilty. It is doubtful if there is another district attorney's office in the state, bar none that has three prosecutors in it of equal ability with West, Koepsel and Eden. What is more, they are known among attorneys to be absolutely fair and square in presenting their cases, with never a suspicion that they would accuse or attempt to convict any man merely to make a record. In the ninety seven cases brought during the two years covered by the report, please of guilty were entered in fifty-eight cases. There were seventeen convictions on trial and three acquittals. Twelve cases were disposed of before trial, and seven cases are still pending. During the two years there was not a single death penalty ordered. During that period the county was remarkably free from murders. Twenty-six men were sentenced to the state penitentiary, and fourteen were sent to other institutions. In thirty-five cases fines or probation were ordered. Aeroplane Dumps Its Passengers:— Even aeroplane tires are not immune Wednesday night festivities were under way. Four or five Mexicans, including two women, one of whom was Villuneva's wife, were there, and the crowd was merrily engaged in dancing. One or two of the Mexicans became somewhat intoxicated, and the Koreans decided it was time to end the party. That was about 9 o'clock. Mariano resented being told to go home. He was in for a night's dancing, and he did not propose to have his cup of joy emptied in any such a manner. Kim who is about 50 years old, undertook to argue the matter with him. Mariano answered with a knife. Sheriff Jackson and Deputies Iman, Murray and Maxwell were called, and made a thorough search for Mariano, but could not locate him. Last December Mariano was fined $150 for selling liquor. Mexican Woman Goes to Patton:— María Cortez, of Wintersburg, who several days ago attacked Officer Ryan with an iron bucket when he attempted to arrest her, was on Friday sentenced to the state hospital at Patton. The woman has been in the hands of the Orange county authorities on several occasions and has been an occupant of the county jail numerous times. During her recent confinement there, however, she has created considerable disturbance and on Thursday night attempted to wreck the place. She said she had wanted to use the telephone. Ryan came in contact with the woman several days ago when he went to arrest her on a charge of disturbing the peace. It was then she swung the bucket against his head. Ryan was not hurt. Sheriff Jackson came along about the same time and assisted Ryan in taking her to the county jail. The university of California inaugurate a state dairy cows, for prizes. There are in California ent time over half?a cows, valued at about amount of money which larger than the total of the dairy products of average yearly produce not known with certainty below 150 pounds. On the other hand, state have produced pounds of butter fat and a considerable number each produced above this period. They herds that average of butter fat per cow. The average produce the state is, therefore one-sixth of that of e and is not much over the average production ANAHEIM GAZETTE—THURSDAY, JULY 27, 1916 BOYS OF SEVENTH MAKING HOME PLEASANT HAVE PLANTED A GARDEN AND EXPECT TO MAKE LONG STAY ON BORDER HOSPITAL CORPS IS LEADING ALL OTHERS IN MODERN IMPROVEMENTS Nogales, Ariz., July 23, 1916. Editor Gazette, Anaheim, Cal. We are still here making ourselves at home. All indications are that this will be our home for a long time to come. A big hospital is being built to care for all serious cases in the Nogales district tnd to use as a base hospital. Every vacant lot is used as a storehouse for supplies and every side street is an auto truck park. Trainloads of steel rails, ties and railroad supplies are being brought in. Soldiers are being detailed to work in the railroad shops repairing locomotives and cars, so that we will be ready to repair and operate the S. D. de Mexico which runs south from this point. The town is an armed camp with soldiers everywhere. There are actually three soldiers to every civilian here. Big details are sent to town for patrol and guard duty. Sentries walk post on the line, at the round house, depot, power plant, store houses, water works, lumber yard and around every camp. Details are sent to the number of good dairy herds in the state. The high records mentioned were made by cows of exceptional capacity for feed consumption, whose ancestors were bred for high dairy production for many generations. They represent, therefore, the highest type yet reached by intelligent and consistent methods of breeding along dairy lines, and are not only the result of great skill in feeding and handling of cows. Experience teaches us, however, that production by dairy cows can be very appreciably increased by a better system of feeding and management than is now practiced by most farmers. There is considerable evidence indicating that a large proportion of the cows in this and other states do not produce sufficient milk to much more than pay for their keep, and many are kept at an actual loss when the feed they eat is figured at ordinary market prices. It becomes important, therefore, to demonstrate to our farmers the possibility of improvement in the production by dairy cows and to stimulate their interest in modern methods of dairying. As a step in this direction, the college of agriculture of the university of California will conduct a dairy cow competition during the period, November 1, 1916, to February 28, 1918, in connection with the official testing of dairy cows for production of butter fat in which the college has been engaged for a number of years past. The competition has been rendered possible through the hearty cooperation of breeders of pure bred dairy cattle, feed dealers, creamy companies, and others interested in the advancement of the dairy industry, who have subscribed a fund of over $4700 for the award of prizes for records of production made by cows in the competition. A large number of special prizes of pure out in the flood of last winter, has been in progress for two weeks. This road is finished and the remaining sections as far as the county line have been put in passable condition. It is understood that the road on the Riverside end is in passable condition so that the Santa Ana canyon road between the two counties may again be used for traffic. Wm. Sparks of Richfield was in town Saturday on a business trip. The other day while passing through town on his way home he lost a young pig out of his spring wagon and as yet been unable to find it. Mr. Sparkes had five of the young porkers in as many sacks, which he had bought west of town, and when nearing his home at Richfield he discovered his loss. How the pig got out Sparks is at a loss to know, only that it must have kicked out of the vehicle unnoticed while he was jogging along. Has anybody found it? Will Pipe Gas to Pomona: Application was filed with the State Railroad Commission recently by the Southern Counties Gas Co., requesting permission to construct an eight-inch pipe line from Brea Canyon Oil company plant at Brea, to the gas plant at Pomona, recently acquired from the Southern California Edison company. The pipe line is to extend a distance of fourteen miles along the Brea Canyon road and San Bernardino boulevard, will be used to carry natural gas to Pomona. The franchise to lay this pipe has already been granted by Orange county authorities. A second petition filed recently requests the railroad commission to ratify this act. A third petition asks permission to purchase franchises from Los Angeles county, as the old franchises, held bythe South- and cars, so that we will be ready to repair and operate the S. D. de Mexico which runs south from this point. The town is an armed camp with soldiers everywhere. There are actually three soldiers to every civilian here. Big details are sent to town for patrol and guard duty. Sentries walk post on the line, at the round house, depot, power plant, store houses, water works, lumber yard and around every camp. Details are sent to the top of every hill for outpost duty. Our major is a rustler, so we are the first militia detachment to have a board floor put in our dispensary tent. We have made desks, tables, and dispensary cabinets out of all the boxes we could beg borrow or steal, besides buying a little lumber. Our garden is planted and the flower beds laid off with rows of stones. We have set the pace for fixing up things and none of the other hospitals have been able to keep up. The only trouble now is in securing an adequate supply of medicines and dressings. The Seventh has the reputation of being the healthiest regiment on the border. The "Nut Squad" still provides entertainment for us. They pulled off a fake vaccination stunt the other evening. The regular treatment is as follows: First, a spot on the arm is washed with alcohol, second, painted with iodine, third anti-typhus vaccine injected hypodermically, fourth, it is scratched with small pox vaccine point fifth, bandaged. The "Nuts" fixed up a sterilizer out of a dishpan with a candle under it. They washed the arms of their victims with colored water. For iodine they slapped on a lot of mustard. For the typhus injection they sprayed the arm with a big henhouse spray. For the vaccine point they used a big hospital corps bolo. The final step was to bandage the arm with a wet sock. One victim refused and he was condemned by a kangaroo court martial two days later and sentenced to submit to the operation. Wednesday night the "Nuts' assisted by the band pulled off the first military funeral. "Gen. Custer" Towles was director, the "Nuts' pallbearers and Bud Rose the fattest man and son of former mayor Rose of Los Angeles, was high priest. All were in costume. They paraded the camp with the band playing dirges. The interment was made up on the hill with appropriate ceremonies. A head board was set up with this legend: "AT REST in which the college has been engaged for a number of years past.

A large number of special prizes of pure bred bull calves dairy apparatus and feeds have likewise been donated in order to make the competition of general interest to dairy farmers and to insure general participation. Circular 153 of the college of agriculture gives full information concerning the competition. Local Notes The Anaheim Land Syndicate has filed suit against Andrew S. Lee to quiet title to lot 10, blck 11, Golden State tract. An interlocutory decree of divorce has been granted John W. Hebson from Ethel Hebson. F. Estrada was convicted before Justice Cox on Friday on two charges of selling liquor at Los Alamitos. He was given a jail sentence of 100 days on each count. John Matter, a former resident of this city, died at El Centro of pneumonia after a short illness. He is survived by a wife and five children. Interment was in the Fullerton cemetery. Mr. McAlvay, who recently disposed of his ranch property on South Spadra street, in Fullerton, has moved to this city where he has built a new home for himself and wife, and has gone into the automobile business. His Fullerton property, as near as he can judge, now belongs to the Salt Lake railway. The large walnut trees on the place have been cut down and the dwelling has been moved to an adjoining lot. The house stood in a direct line of a proposed right of way for a railroad, which, it is believed, is the Salt Lake. Many other strips of land in Fullerton and in this city, besides at Santa Ana and elsewhere have been bought by mysterious persons and surface indications point to the Wednesday night the Nuts assisted by the band pulled off the first military funeral.

Best regards to all, HOWARD E. GATES. COW COMPETITION The university of California is about to inaugurate a state competition for dairy cows, for prizes of $4,700. There are in California at the present time over half a million milch cows, valued at about $38,000,000, an amount of money which is but slightly larger than the total annual value of the dairy products of the state. The average yearly production per cow is not known with certainty, but is evidently below 150 pounds of butter fat. On the other hand, two cows in the state have produced more than 900 pounds of butter fat each in one year, and a considerable number more have each produced above 600 pounds during this period. There are also dairy herds that average over 400 pounds of butter fat per cow per year. The average production of cows in the state is, therefore, not as much as one-sixth of that of exceptional cows, and is not much over one-third that of the average production of cows in a His Fullerton property, as near as he can judge, now belongs to the Salt Lake railway. The large walnut trees on the place have been cut down and the dwelling has been moved to an adjoining lot. The house stood in a direct line of a proposed right of way for a railroad, which, it is believed, is the Salt Lake. Many other strips of land in Fullerton and in this city, besides at Santa Ana and elsewhere have been bought by mysterious persons and surface indications point to the fact that the above named railway company will soon be making the dirt fly hereabouts. Several men living in and near Cypress made a house to house canvass in this city on Friday seeking signatures of realty owners to petitions, protesting against the formation of the United river protection district. They argued that the district should be made a county proposition, and equalize the assessments, in other words, those who have received direct damage from river overflow to bear a larger proportionate rate of taxation than people who do not sustain any direct loss, but who nevertheless are damaged indirectly by being menaced by flood waters' during excessive rainfall. Such a procedure, it is maintained, would encounter many stumbling blocks. The protestants aver that some legislative action will be taken when the law makers again assemble at Sacramento, providing for legislation giving counties the power to assess for river protection.
