Dr. W. S. McFarlane last week installed a new dynamo in his ice plant on Chartres street, and also began drilling a well. The doctor claims that the Edison company’s rate for juice furnished his plant is exorbitant, and the city government is also soulless when it is figuring up its water bills. His bills for electricity and water last month, he declares, aggregated considerably over $200, and he believes he can generate his own power and pump his own water for less money than that. The ice plant was the most popular industry in Anaheim during the recent hot days, and the doctor has the sympathy of everybody in his efforts to reduce the cost of running it.

This total is the amount available for taxation. AUTOMOBILE STATION DESTROYED BY FIRE Shop of Evans & Walker, on Lincoln Avenue, Vanishes in Smoke The gasoline station and repair shop of Evans & Walker at the corner of Lincoln avenue and Garden Grove road was totally destroyed by fire Tuesday night, together with most of its contents. The alarm was turned in at ten o'clock and the department made a dash to the scene, but owing to the inflamable contents nothing could be done to check the flames. Three automobiles were in the building when the fire broke out. Two of them were saved, but the third was destroyed. The fire was caused by the attempt of a boy to fill a lantern without taking the precaution to blow it out. The lantern exploded, communicating the flames to the oil in an instant. Efforts to extinguish the blaze proving futile the alarm was sent in, but the building was enveloped in flames before the siren blew. PRAIRIE FIRE RAGES NEAR FULLERTON Three Hundred Acres on Stearns Lease Burned Over Starting on the Stearns Co. lease operated by the Union Oil Co., a prairie fire on a small scale late Sunday afternoon swept over 300 acres and inflicted damage estimated at $1000. The fire is believed to have had its origin in a lighted cigar or cigarette stump tossed from a passing automobile into a clump of dry grass and weeds by the side of the state highway where it passes the Stearns lease. The flames were first noticed about 4 o'clock in the afternoon leaping rapidly toward the hill top and denuding the soil of vegetation as it went. A general alarm was sounded and oil employs and residents of the district, armed with wet sacks, hoes and shovels began a fight against the flames. Fully 300 persons took part in the battle and the fire was not subdued until nearly two hours later. ASSESSMENT FIGURES Santa Ana's assessed valuation is now $6,786,460, there being an increase of $133,185 over last year. This total is the amount available for taxation purposes. Fullerton's assessed valuation for taxation purposes is $4,278,700, an increase of $645,850. Stanton's assessment is now $341,-820. Last year it was $349,510. Seal Beach as a municipality appears on the assessment rolls this year for the first time. Its total assessment is $520,220. Santa Ana, Fullerton, Stanton and Seal Beach are the only cities that have their city taxes collected through the county. Those taxes are based upon the valuations made by the county assessor. County Auditor W. C. Jerome has completed his footings upon which city councils of the four cities can base their tax rates. The big increase in Fullerton is due to the bringing in of new oil territory inside the city limits. These totals do not include the soldier's exemptions nor the operative property that is assessed for state purposes. Solider's exemptions in Santa Ana total $111,545; in Fullerton, $12,900; in Stanton, $595. SAFETY FIRST for your insurance policy in case of fire.
