GRAND THEATRE STILL DRAWING CROWDS MANAGER MOZART SHOWING GREAT PICTURES TO LARGE AUDIENCES "A CORNER IN COTTON," AND "LOVE MY DOG," ON THE SCREEN TONIGHT When the first show ended at the New Grand Saturday night a crowd of people were waiting outside for the house to thin so that they could secure seats. This house seats 700 people but it is seldom it has any vacant seats, especially on Saturday night. "God's Country and the Woman" was the play, and it was one of the most interesting ever produced on the screen in Anaheim. It was a story of the great northwest, was full of snow, and the trusty huskies played a prominent part in it. Pictures with animals in them are always popular. Sunday night Tyrone Power and Lois Weber, two of the noted filmland actors appeared in "The Eye of God," and Willie Monahan, the juvenile Charlie Chaplin, was shown in a comedy, "A Chip of the Old Block." Monday and Tuesday night a Bluebird play, "Broken Fetters," was shown, with Violet Mercereu in the leading role. Tonight will be presented a Metro production in which Marguerite Snow, the charming and accomplished actress, will appear. "A Corner in Cotton," is the name, and it shows how justment that would allow the flour to remain. In the meantime one of the sacks of flour had been opened, and the sight that met the eyes of those present was not one tending to increase an appetite for bread, biscuits or buns. It was old flour, and it was alive. Howard said that he would fill the short weight sacks and bring them to weight. "Not on your life," said McPhee. "You can't leave that flour in Santa Ana. I'll call in the health officer and have it condemned if you try it." Howard then proposed sifting the flour, by which the weevils and worms could be extracted. It was proposed to turn the sacks wrong side out and put new markings as to weight. "Nothing doing," responded McPhee. "Get that stuff out of Santa Ana as quick as you know how." And it went. OPEN DITCH REPLACED WITH A PIPE LINE Property Owners on West North Street Will Pay Half the Cost Director J. J. Dwyer, at the meeting of the Anaheim Union Water Company's directors Saturday, reported that property owners on West North street had agreed to pay one-half the cost of replacing the present open ditch on that street with a pipe line, and the proposition was accepted provided the property owners furnish the city with a right of way. On motion duly seconded the following transfers of stock were granted: 5 shares from K. L. Patterson, Pledgee, to Will G. Cochran, and 20 shares from Carrie J. Coulter to Wm.

Max Figman and Lolita Robertson will also appear in a splendid comedy "Love My Dog." The Selig productions have reached an enviable standard for William N. Selig has spared no time or expense in making his film comedies and dramas gilt-edged in every detail. One of the greatest of these productions is "The Valiants of Virginia," a Selig Red Seal Play, will be shown at the Grand Friday and Saturday evenings and at Saturday's matinee. Kathlyn Williams enacts the leading feminine role and many and varied opportunities are afforded her for emotional work. Hallie Erminie Rives wrote the story which is extraordinary in every respect. Sunday evening "A Yellow Streak" will be presented, featuring Lionel Barrymore and Irene Howley. It is a sentimental drama. Mutt and Jeff silhouettes will also be shown, as well as Napoleon and Sally, the educated chimpanzees. Manager Mozart has arranged with the new Mary Pickford corporation to produce all of that charming little favorites' plays in the future. He will begin as soon as they are produced and will show them all. He is also arranging for several great feature plays in the future. At Saturday's matinee will be presented "A Corner in Cotton," and a two-reel comedy "Love My Dog." McPHEE HOLDS UP SHORT WEIGHT FLOUR Consignment From Los Angeles Outlawed and Returned to Shipper One hundred and twenty-five barrels of weevil-infested, wormy, short-weight flour was refused admission to the Santa Ana markets, and under Company's directors Saturday, reported that property owners on West North street had agreed to pay one-half the cost of replacing the present open ditch on that street with a pipe line, and the proposition was accepted provided the property owners furnish the city with a right of way. On motion duly seconded the following transfers of stock were granted: 5 shares from K. L. Patterson, Pledgee, to Will G. Cochran, and 20 shares from Carrie J. Coulter to Wm. F. Coulter.

The flour was shipped to a Santa Ana firm by the Howard Brokerage company of Los Angeles. It was Idaho Falls, Idaho, flour. About two years ago McPhee discovered that a good deal of flour shipped to this state from outside states was under weight. Investigation showed that the California mills were giving full weight, while the outsiders by giving short weight could beat the California mills' prices by from 12 to 20 cents a barrel. McPhee started a campaign against it. The campaign was taken up by the state superintendent, and has now spread over the state, though here and there lax enforcement of the law may allow some of it to be disposed of. McPhee has landed on short weight flour at every opportunity, and had outside dealers fighting shy of sending any of it here. Last week, however, a shipment was received that was looked into by the sealer with disastrous results to the shipper. McPhee found that a portion of the shipment was four pounds short to the barrel. George Howard of the Howard Brokerage company came down from Los Angeles with the hope of being allowed to make some kind of an ad- Request of J. F.

STATE'S PROPERTY Property actually owned and controlled by the state of California, cash in the vaults of the state treasurer and his bond investments total about $120,000,000, according to figures by Edwin F. Smith, state property man. Wharves and buildings under control of the state harbor commission at San Francisco are the largest individual property asset of the state, being estimated by Smith at $22,500,000. Other valuable properties are the university of California, $16,000,000 and the state capitol grounds. By the count made by the state board of control there was $18,172,112.37 in the state's vaults, of which $4,371,185 was gold. Miss Lucy Ziegler was a Los Angeles visitor Saturday. ANAHEIM GAZETTE—THURSDAY, AUG, 24 HUGHES TRIUMPHAL PROGRESS Charles Evans Hughes, republican candidate for president, acclaimed as a worthy standard bearer for his party has learned from personal contact that California is unquestionably in favor of his cause. His is the distinction of having addressed the greatest political meeting ever held in San Francisco. Fourteen thousand persons were packed into the Civic Auditorium Friday night and half as many again were barred from the meeting when the police closed the doors at 7:40 p.m., or 20 minutes before the scheduled time for the meeting. During the afternoon Hughes had addressed another wonderful meeting. It was a gathering of 1500 women in the Palm court of the Palace hotel, presided over by Mrs. Abbie E. Krebs, chairman of the Woman's Auxiliary of the republican state central committee, at which he was hailed as a genuine friend of national equal suffrage. That Hughes is recognized as a friend of labor was demonstrated at the fine meeting he addressed at the Union Iron Works at 11 o'clock Saturday forenoon. More than 3,000 men gave him a careful hearing and then without a single act of disapproval he was accorded three rousing cheers and besieged by the begrimed workmen who sought to clasp his hand. Another great meeting was that in the Municipal Auditorium in Oakland Saturday afternoon when more than 10,000 persons crowded into the great building to hear the republican leader. Hughes is not concerned with the political aspirations of Governor Hiram W. Johnson, a registered progressive, who is seeking the republican nomination for United States senator. The presidential candidate disposed in the Election Called for Tuesday, Sept. 12 Continued from Page 1 succinct and understandable statement of the proposition: To the voters of the United Storm Water District of Orange County: Greetings:—We your committee have in charge the preliminary work leading up to the organization of the United Storm Water District, wish at this time to make a brief statement of the work that has been done to date and to outline the proposed plans for the future. We make this statement that the voters may have as clear and definite idea of the plans as words can express, and to set at rest the misrepresentation that has been going on, believing that if the facts in the case are thoroughly understood by the voters of the District there will be almost a unanimous endorsement of the project. The most of you are familiar with the early movement for river protection which became so popular almost immediately following the floods of last January. Meetings were held at various places and free discussion of the question, in its different phases was had. Out of these meetings there finally developed a plan to ask the Board of Supervisors to form two districts embracing the lands on the west side of the river, subject to overflow or damage. These plans did not meet with the approval of the Supervisors, and they suggested a merging of the two districts. This was done resulting in the United Storm Water District being petitioned for, embracing about 50,000 acres as formed by the Supervisors on August 2nd, 1916. (After cutting off the Orangethorpe district.) In addition to this the committee has caused to be made a survey of the Santa Ana river from the site of the old Yorba bridge to the Newbert district, and a channel 1100 feet wide, mapped out for the entire distance of nine and three-quarter miles. A large part of the land needed for this proposed channel and for the protection work on the west bank of the river has been given and deeded to a trustee for the district. HARBISON TO WIN BIG PRIMARY VOTE Republican Will Have Support of Others Than His Own Party Members Robert C. Harbison, republican candidate for congress, has practically completed his primary campaign. He has been accorded a great reception throughout the district. At the congressional headquarters at San Bernardino it is predicted Harbison will carry the primary by more votes than his two opponents combined. His candidacy, since the endorsement by the district conference at San Diego on July 1, has been actively advocated by thousands of republicans who are certain that in Mr. Harbison the republican party will have a candidate who can win in November. His active stand with his newspaper on the side of right in the moral issues of two decades, combined with the republican party principles without which the eleventh district cannot prosper, makes Harbison a candidate who commands the support of his entire party, with no small measure of support from other parties. He stands squarely against the saloon, where he has stood with his newspaper for 20 years. BIG WATER SUIT IS FINALLY SETTLED Riverside Will be Permitted to Use Only Surplus Water From Artesia Basin Judge Finlayson of Los Angeles, handed down a decision Saturday which settles the long drawn out suit over water rights between the cities of San Bernardino and Riverside. Another great meeting was that in the Municipal Auditorium in Oakland Saturday afternoon when more than 10,000 persons crowded into the great building to hear the republican leader. Hughes is not concerned with the political aspirations of Governor Hiram W. Johnson, a registered progressive, who is seeking the republican nomination for United States senator. The presidential candidate disposed in the following words at Friday night's meeting of the situation Chester Rowell was trying to create in behalf of his friend Johnson: "I come here as the spokesman of the national republican party. With local differences I have no concern." After State Chairman Francis V. Keesling of the republican state central committee had called the meeting to order and presented National Chairman William H. Crocker as the presiding officer, Hughes began a severe arraignment of the democratic party but not without making a powerful constructive argument as well. The vacillation of the democratic Mexican policy, the fallacy of the present tariff and the gross extravagance and mismanagement of the government under the Wilson regime were fully exploited. Following are some of the epigrams of his powerful address: "We must conserve the very bases of our prosperity in conserving women and children. "If you want to know what I mean by incorrect international policy look at the history of our dealings with Mexico. We turned it over to anarchy, leaving our citizens to be massacred. "There is no danger of militarism in this country; the danger is all the other way. "I desire competency to the fullest degree attainable in the government. "This is a time when nations are measured by their efficiency. "The greatest watchword of the twentieth century in government is efficiency. "I treasure the ideals of peace. We simply want the strength of a self-repecting nation that is not willing to be misunderstood. "We do not need to have a perennial agitation in this country." Governor Hughes concluded his great address as follows: "I have a vision of America inspired to make to some extent real our vis- In addition to this the committee has caused to be made a survey of the Santa Ana river from the site of the old Yorba bridge to the Newbert district, and a channel 1100 feet wide, mapped out for the entire distance of nine and three-quarter miles. A large part of the land needed for this proposed channel and for the protection work on the west bank of the river has been given and deeded to a trustee for the district. What your committee believes to be a very simple and effective and thoroughly workable plan has been formulated, subject to such modifications as may be found advisable upon a detailed survey of the work. The plan outlined by Mr. O. E. Steward, engineer for the committee is as follows: First—The construction of a dike 50 ft. wide at the bottom and at least 20 feet wide on top; the crown of the dike to be in all places at least six feet above the river bed. Second—The protection of this dike by zigzag piling placed ten feet apart and thoroughly tied together by many strands of barbed wire. Third—The planting and growing of willows and other suitable trees along both sides of the dike and the construction of a well oiled road on top. Fourth—The clearing of brush and other debris out of the river channel so as to give the current as straight and interrupted a flow as possible. The total estimated cost of this work as outlined is $125,000.00, made up of the following items: Moving 300,000 cubic yards of dirt, the amount necessary to complete the dike except where the natural bank is six feet or over above the river bed ... $45,000 Barbed wire, 100,000 lbs. ... $5,000 Labor placing wire ... $2,000 Pilling and placing same, 5,200 piles ... $41,600 Tree planting, care and water. 10,000 Clearing channel ... $5,000 Road oil ... $5,000 10% administration and incidentals ... $11,400 Of this amount the county should pay their pro-rata share for the protection which this project will afford the county hospital, county farm group, and county good roads and bridges, at least $25,000, leaving a balance by the district of $100,000 or an average of $2.00 per acre or thereabout. It looks to your committee as though this were the opportune time to do this work. The Santa Ana river will not long remain in its present channel without some system of levee work. The people along the east bank of the river have voted almost unanimously to form a district and will construct a dike along the east bank, which is an added menace to us, as it will hold the current and turn all the overflow in time of flood toward the west so that unless something is done immediately to prevent it the river is apt to leave its channel and we will be flooded. BIG WATER SUIT IS FINALLY SETTLED Riverside Will be Permitted to Use Only Surplus Water From Artesia Basin Judge Finlayson of Los Angeles, handed down a decision Saturday which settles the long drawn out suit over water rights between the cities of San Bernardino and Riverside. The judge held that Riverside is entitled to only the surplus waters of the Antill basin, San Bernardino having a prior right. The surplus will be amply sufficient for Riverside, however and both sides are satisfied. The legal battle which began in San Bernardino with that city plaintiff and Riverside and the Riverside Water company defendants, wound up in Los Angeles for argument. The testimony, covering 134 days, embraced the past and present history of those counties and called for the testimony of many prominent experts on the flow of water. The old timer was present at the trial and told what he knew about the springs, rivers and basins of San Bernardino county. The Riverside Water company was represented by special counsel, and the cities by law-years bearing the scars of many hard water rights battles. The big suit tried by Judge Finlayson involved the right of the city of Riverside Water company to come in and take additional water from the basin in San Bernardino county. San Bernardino was looking to the future and sought to limit Riverside to the surplus waters. The Riverside Water company had sold 500 inches to the city of Riverside and San Bernardino contested its alleged right to increase the quantity of water the company was taking by these 500 inches. San Bernardino claimed it was only getting 300 inches from the basin. The suit, covering the ground for thirty years past, developed the fact that Riverside took the surplus flow of the Santa Ana River. Subsequently it obtained a supply from Warm creek. During the dry years around 1888, finding it was not getting sufficient water, an artesian well was put in along the Santa Ana river. In 1892 wells were bored in East San Bernardino. San Bernardino, finding it wanted more water than it was able to get, went into the basin and put down four "I treasure the ideals of peace. We simply want the strength of a self-respecting nation that is not willing to be misunderstood. "We do not need to have a perennial agitation in this country." Governor Hughes concluded his great address as follows: "I have a vision of America inspired to make to some extent real our vision of human brotherhood, and I have the vision of America in all the manifold work of administration, both Federal and state, showing its talent, its capacity for free government in the competence of that work that it undertakes, in the wisdom of its plans and the great economy of execution of plans. I have a vision of men united in conscious cooperation, proud of the title of American citizen, not simply because it spells the individual opportunity we so highly prize, but because it also spells that sense of community interest and the desire to cooperate which we must have, if we are to meet the problems of the twentieth century. To those ideals, if you desire it, my friends, I give loyally my service." BEWARE OF CITRUS CANKER Returning from a trip through the citrus belt of Texas, Dr. J. H. Webber, dean of the state citrus experiment station, told Riverside orange growers that every precaution must be taken to prevent the introduction of the citrus canker into this state. The theory that California is safe because of different climatic conditions is scouted by Dr. Webber. Henry Richmueller made a business trip to Los Angeles Friday. It looks to your committee as though this were the opportune time to do this work. The Santa Ana river will not long remain in its present channel without some system of levee work. The people along the east bank of the river have voted almost unanimously to form a district and will construct a dike along the east bank, which is an addedmenace to us, as it will hold the current and turn all the overflow in time of flood toward the west so that unless something is done immediately to prevent it the river is apt to leave its channel and we will be flooded. The expense incurred to each property holder is so small compared with the benefits gained, that we cannot afford to longer delay this work. We ask for your cooperation and hearty support for the trustees whom you may elect to carry out this enterprise which will mean so much to this part of Orange county. The Committee, FRANK N. GIBBS, Chairman, Anaheim. O. E. STEWARD, Engineer, Anaheim. H. A. LAKE, Chairman, Garden Grove. Your ship may never come in, but if you save the pennies and place them in a term account with the Anaheim National Bank, it may become a ferry boat to take you across some dangerous stream when you need to get across. Misses Lucy Ziegler, Etta Schindler and Elsie Meincke were visiting the latter part of the week with friends in Los Angeles. La Verne Mattocks of the Washington National Guards, who is stationed at Calexico, was visiting here last week at the home of his sister, Mrs. C. E. Jordan. He secured a week's leave of absence, and is spending it here. Mr. Mattocks visited Anaheim two years ago and finds a wonderful change in the city during the past two years. CHECK FOR CENTS Do you know that when you write a check, or any paper that is to circulate as money, for less than $1, you are laying yourself liable to a fine of $500 and imprisonment up to six months in jail, under the United States laws? Though there is a law against writing a check for less than $1, it is done hundreds of times each day in the business world. Under the title of "Offenses against the currency, collage, etc., section 178, criminal code of the United States," the law relative to checks is made very plain, Section 178 is as follows: "No person shall make, issue, circulate or pay out any note, check, memorandum, token or other obligation for a less sum than $1, intended to circulate as money, or to be received, or used in lieu of lawful money of the United States; and every person so offending shall be fined not more than $500, or imprisoned not more than six months, or both."

E. Stanley, who is on the cruiser Milwaukee now patrolling Mexican waters. Stanley relates some of his experiences with the Mexicans and among other things says: They imagine the government is afraid of them. We, all the boys in the American service are being drilled, instructed and taught every day in the service to protect the good old American flag; yet on account of the fact that one of our officers did not have the orders to face the death point when the time came for him to do his duty, were forced to stand by and see the Old Glory on one of our small boats pulled down and tramped under the feet of a Mex. Not only that, but we lost one of the gamest little boys in the flotilla. One of the boats carrying two officers and seven men with rifles was going over to the beach at Santa Rosalia Bat to have a talk with the American consul. Just as the boat was pulling along side the dock one of the spicks grabbed the flag and tramped on it and one of them took a shot at the coxswain as he was pulling away from the dock to get away from them. It hit and went through his stomach. He grabbed his rifle and at the same time said: "watch me get about three spicks before I go." He shot three times and fell, his three shots went through the heads of three Mexicans, and as he fell he said, "tell 'em all I did my duty and tell all of the boys so mad that I could not see as the officer told me not to shoot, but the fellow that I did shoot at once grabbed the seat of his pants and started up the dock yelling all the same as a scared child.

Plans for the entertainment of the California fire chiefs and party, numbering 300 people, on Saturday, Aug. 26, are well under way, and from the reception planned it is certain all will remember with pleasure their visit to Orange county. Early this week the chiefs gathered at San Diego for their state convention, and it is on the return trip they will stop in Orange county. The train will arrive at Santa Ana at 3:30 in the afternoon and will be met by auto furnished by the chamber of commerce of the county. The party will be treated to light refreshments and will then be taken by auto through the county, touching at Tustin, Orange, Anaheim, Placentia, and winding up at Fullerton, where the party will board the train for Los Angeles at 5:30, giving a two hour stay in the county.
