Samuel Taylor and wife were among the visitors at Seal Beach Sunday and witnessed Boquel in his wonderful aerial flights. Bill Gathas of the Oyster Loaf says when the building is set back to the new street line, he will renovate and remodel his place of business and will make the place one of the most up-to-date cafes in the county. Messrs. Gathas and Harrison are rated as being among the best of caterers and are enjoying a good trade. The road to Santa Ana was blocked three days the first of the week, and travelers were compelled to take a circutous route, going by way of Garden Grove or Olive. The reason for this was the West Chapman street bridge had been dismantled to make room for the new concrete structure which is being built there. County Surveyor McBride made a by-path around the site and travel across the river is again open. The Fullerton Union High School district Friday defeated the proposed $35,000 bond issue, $25,000 of which was to be used for building an addition to the manual training building and $10,000 for a swimming pool. The Fullerton chamber of commerce indorsed the bond issue, but the city gave a big majority vote against the proposition, while Olinda, Brea and Yorba Linda voted in favor of the bonds. The total vote of the district was 143 for the bonds and 417 against. Mr. and Mrs. Lee of Long Beach were visiting the latter part of the week with friends in Anaheim. Dr. Lee Deming of this city has eleven fine saddle horses entered at the state fair which opens at Sacramento Saturday. From the entries received by William Kavanaugh, superintendent of exhibits, it is known that every stable of any prominence and every owner of fine horse stock in California will be represented. Between 300 and 400 of the finest horses west of the Rockies will be shown in gaily decorated barns and the nightly horse show, the big fashionable event of the year. Mont Webb was a member of a fishing party that recently went down to Seal Rock to try their luck with the funny tribe. Mont reports a good catch, from which, after he supplied his home wants, he distributed a mess among his many friends. Sometimes he catches so many fish that he casts them back into the water, and at times has thrown them away, not caring to be hampered with so many. And then again at times he does not take any home, or give any to the neighbors or throw any away. Mont likes to fish and he says it's the only life. Born, to the wife of Ralph J.

We Want Your Business! ANAHEIM GAZETTE—THURSDAY, AUGUST 31, 1916 Mrs. Dr. J. D. Thomas, of the Passmore ranch at Olive was a visitor in town on Thursday. Frank Dyer and family have returned from a two weeks' vacation at Anaheim Landing. Frank takes to water like a duck and always looks forward to his annual vacation at this popular watering place with keen interest. J. J. Schneider and family spent Thursday at Seal Beach and enjoyed a dip in the briny deep and also marvelled at the feats of Dare Devil Boquel. Reinhold Schelleus, resident of this city, has applied to the superior court for letters of citizenship. He was born in Germany and is 42 years of age. He has been a resident of this county since 1897. Wm. Stark and family visited at Seal Beach a few days ago and spent a pleasant day at the seaside. Mr. Stark took his annual bath in the breakers and says the water was fine. The family returned to their home in the evening. Some good points about Lusterall, the perfect auto body renewer and preserver. Contains no acid. Will not collect dust. Will outlast anything you ever saw. Not affected by rain or mud. Thousands of California owners praise it. Dealers everywhere use, recommend and guarantee Lusterall. With every can we say, "Satisfaction or money back." Stoffer & Kramer. Marshal Kellenberger appeared in his new uniform on Wednesday and henceforth while on duty he and his deputies will forsake their "citizens." Experts say uniforms tend toward efficiency, but in the case of the local City Clerk Merritt submitted some very interesting figures to the council on Thursday night, relative to the new assessment roll of this city. For the ensuing year of 1916-17, the total assessable wealth is placed at $2,164,045, showing an increase over the previous year of $64,780. The operative property on the assessment for 1916-17 is placed at $209,845, showing an increase over last year of $7,915. The tax rate has been fixed at $1.45 on the $100, a comparatively low rate for a city of this size. John J. Dwyer, member of the city council, argues for a more equable assessment, believing that in several instances the figures could be raised considerably, thus automatically reducing the tax levy. Mr. Dwyer is also working to have liquor licenses for retailers and wholesalers raised to $100 per month, thereby giving the city more revenue for its upkeep. Mr. Dwyer is firm in his belief that existing condition here warrant the raising of the license. The trustees are going to have the railway companies install wigwags upon all street crossings in this city. On South Lemon street a very dangerous condition of affairs exists on the Southern Pacific. A large barn obscures the track and other obstructions at that point make it a dangerous crossing. Much complaint has been made to the trustees regarding this one, while on the Ball road another crossing is classed as dangerous. Dr. J. W. Truxaw of the health board recently appeared before the trustees in regard to having better signals at all railroad crossings and as a result the matter will be taken up with the railroad commission, which body has to be petitioned before the signals can be installed by the railway companies. The League of California Municipalities returned on Sunday with his family from a ten days' vacation spent at Newport. Phil put in most of his time fishing and bathing and reports having had a fine time. Phil says the wharf would be lined with fishermen as early as 3 a.m. and some would remain on the job until noon. He reports mackerel biting good at Newport, but the sport is interfered with by the larger fish which seek and devour the smaller ones in close proximity to the wharf. Phil says he had a way-up time and that his appetite was such that his good wife had to serve him five or six meals a day to satisfy his craving for food. The salt air is invigorating and Phil says he would have liked to have stayed longer, only his time was up and he had to get back on the job. J. C. Mauerhan while at work on his ranch several days ago raised a blister in the palm of his left hand, and not giving it serious attention, took out his knife and opened the postule. That night severe pains were experienced in the arm and the following morning his hand was greatly swollen. He sought the aid of a physician, who pronounced it a case of blood poisoning. After several treatments the poisoning seems to be diminishing, and no serious results are anticipated. Looking into the southwestern sky residents of Anaheim last week were enabled to see Joe Boquel, the intrepid aviator, perform his stunts over the ocean at Seal Beach. His performance began at half-past eight in the evening and lasted half an hour. Only the electric light on his machine could be seen from Anaheim, but it looked like a runaway star that had broken from its orbit, and was gyrating around in an unbridled and insane Marshal Kellenberger appeared in his new uniform on Wednesday and henceforth while on duty he and his deputies will forsake their "citizens." Experts say uniforms tend toward efficiency, but in the case of the local police force that would seem superfluous, as the "boys" are rated as being among the best to be found anywhere. Driver C. J. Mauerhan of the fire department is thinking seriously of taking his ten days' vacation pretty soon. Cooney is waiting for the deer season to open, and in all probability will take a hike in the back hills in quest of a buck or two. Cooney is a dead shot, never known to contract the fever, and when he starts out he says he will bag his game if it takes all summer. Emma M. Polhemus of Miraflores has petitioned for letters of administration on the estate of her father, John Hanna, who died on August 12. The estate is valued at $80,000, consisting of real estate in this county and in Los Angeles. The heirs are Harry R. Hanna, San Marcos; Mary C. Wrenn, Pasadena; Julia H. Hager, Berkeley; Laura Tharp, San Francisco, children of the deceased and several grandchildren. Los Angeles attorneys represent the petitioner. The Standard Oil company brought in another big gas and oil gusher Wednesday night on the Murphy lease northwest of Fullerton, at a depth of 3500 feet. The hole is No. 17 and it is not far from other producing wells. It came in with a roar that could be heard for miles away and kept up until morning. The estimated output is over 4,000 barrels a day. Hundreds of thousands of feet of gas have escaped from the hole which it is believed, will develop into one of the best gushers ever tapped in the fullerton field. Elmer Goodrich reports having a profitable trip to the state convention of fire chiefs held at San Diego last week. The meeting was one of the best he ever attended and much good was derived by all. The fire chiefs are all fine fellows and the older firemen The League of California Municipalities will hold its annual meeting at Visalia on October 10-15. A communication was received from its secretary asking that members of the board and city officials attend. It was ordered that Engineer O. E. Steward attend the convention as a representative from this city. The deliberations of the meetings of the League of Municipalities are of great importance to every city in the state and much valuable information regarding city governments is acquired. Many local sportamen are prepared to make a dash into the mountain fastnesses in quest of deer when the season opens on September 1st. Many first class shots are numbered among the local Nimrods and all are keen for the sport. Last season some of the finest specimens ever killed in Southern California were brought in by local hunters, a four and a five pronged buck being among the lot. Wm. J. Orr, who was severely injured at the sugar factory several weeks ago, by being knocked down in the engine room by a premature gas explosion, is now well on the way to recovery. He received a severe wound at the base of the skull when in his fall his head forcefully struck the cement floor. At first, he was thought to have been fatally injured, but prompt medical skill saved his life. Sander Schulte and family drove in to town from Orangethorpe Sunday evening on a visit to relatives and while here took in the Grand theatre. "Sandy" has grown up with the country and has one of the best places on the avenue, it being said he has a standing offer of $2500 per acre for his Valencia orchard, but which he refuses to entertain. The Whist Club was entertained by Mrs. Joseph Bennerscheidt at her home on Thursday afternoon. Mrs. Looking into the southwestern sky residents of Anaheim last week were enabled to see Joe Boquel, the intrepid aviator, perform his stunts over the ocean at Seal Beach. His performance began at half-past eight in the evening and lasted half an hour. Only the electric light on his machine could be seen from Anaheim, but it looked like a runaway star that had broken from its orbit, and was gyrating around in an unbridled and insane manner among its fellows. Joe finished his contract Sunday night, consequently it will be seen no more. A number of young men charivariated Mr. W. L. Easton at his home on Philadelphia street and Mr. F. Feltz at his home on Alberta streets Tuesday evening and made the night hideous till their victims appeared. They were then escorted to the Valencia Cafe where they were the "hosts" at a banquet given to the following young men: F. Yoern, M. Straha, W. Naugle, B. Hoyt, J. Bandina, Jr., A. Petermann, D. Webb, E. Alling and C. Findley. Mr. and Mrs. R. B. Herman and daughter, Miss Bertha, went down to Long Beach Saturday to meet old-time Arizona friends. Frank Montenyohl, wife and daughter, motored down to the ocean Sunday and spent the day on the beaches, traveling from Point Firmin to Laguna. J. C. Mauerhan of South East street who has one of the best kept walnut groves in this section, reports about a 60 per cent crop, but the quality is regarded as being first class. Mr. Mauerhan works scientifically among his trees and does not believe in too much irrigation, and when he does irrigate he puts on the water at the right time. A blight has affected the walnut trees for many years and as yet no one seems to be able to ascertain the cause or evolve a remedy. Mr. Mauerhan is of the opinion that the blight comes from climatic conditions, and is a difficult one to fathom. While the crop this year will be short, the quality, where the trees are given good care, will be of the best and prices for them will range correspondingly high. Mr. Mauerhan disposes of his crop personally and makes some very startling statements regarding Elmer Goodrich reports having a profitable trip to the state convention of fire chiefs held at San Diego last week. The meeting was one of the best he ever attended and much good was derived by all. The fire chiefs are all fine fellows and the older firemen gave much valuable information to those who have seen less service in fire fighting. The methods of dealing with fires and providing means for their prevention were ably discussed, and much profit in the way of good advice was derived by all who attended the convention. A Japanese who has rented a 40-acre ranch in the west country for several years, reports to his lessor that this year he has made $3000 off the ranch. The Jap had a large part of the ranch set to potatoes, which the past few weeks have been bringing very good prices. Last week they were selling at $3.00 a 100 pounds. When the owner of the land heard the Jap say he had made the amount stated he scratched his head and wondered how he did it. The Japanese, who go in for small farm truck, are thrifty and make every inch of the land produce something, and in that way reap much profit by tilling the soil. A. S. Bradford has obtained judgment in the superior court against Mrs. Mary Franz in the amount of $2200. Property involved is situated at the corner of Broadway and Olive streets in this city. Miss Leah Westerman was visiting friends in San Diego last week. The Whist Club was entertained by Mrs. Joseph Bennerscheldt at her home on Thursday afternoon. Mrs. C. Martin was awarded first prize, a centerpiece, Mrs. John Kellenberger second, also a centerpiece, Mrs. Wm. Berdrow received the consolation, a dolly. Refreshments or orange ice, cake and coffee were served during the afternoon by the hostess. John Cook is busily engaged with a large gang of men harvesting his lima bean crop on the San Joaquin ranch. Mr. Cook says he has one of the best crops ever grown in the valley. "Slim" Baylis, an employee at the sugar factory received severe burns on his right arm and side Thursday night, when a connection on a steam pipe broke, allowing boiling water to strike him. Oliver Hill donated his Buick touring car for service to help show the visiting firemen the country on Saturday afternoon. Cooney Mauerhan was at the wheel. J. W. McCormac, of Santa Ana, president of the Orange County Business College was a visitor in town Friday. Mrs. Frank Champion and her daughters and son, Inez, Lomia and Joe Elliott, left Thursday for Salt Lake City. They will reside there. Trustee William Stark was in Los Angeles Monday on a business visit. A good thing for the local booster to engage in would be to interview the county authorities and try to get the short strip of county dirt road at the northern extension of Lemon street, macadamized. From the city limits north to the bend in the county road is but a very short distance, and were that piece of roadway paved it would be readily used by autoists, and would divert southern travel into town by way of Lemon street. The traffic on Los Angeles street at times becomes a serious problem, so congested does that highway become during the busy parts of the day, and especially on Saturday and Sunday when many auto parties pass through town on that highway. Should Palm street be paved much local travel would be diverted to that horoughfare, and as that street affords a straight line connecting with the county highway, it would no doubt he much used by the general public. It would appear that property in that part of the city would be benefitted by having such a turn of events occur.

Logan and Miss Ella Elda Duffield of Los Angeles were entertained over the week end by Mr. and Mrs. Lewis R. Williams. Herbert Mauerhan has returned to his home in San Francisco after spending some time visiting relatives here. The Anaheim police have blossomed out in a beautiful new uniform and are now the best dressed men in town. The cloth is an olive drab, all the buttons are shining brass, and the cap matches the suit. Which member of the force presents the handsomest appearance in the new suit is a matter of opinion. R. J. McFadden and Leo Sheridan made a trip to Seal Beach Saturday evening. The Guild of St. Michael's church will give a cooked food sale at Barfoot's store Saturday afternoon. H. E. Sparks, an employee of the Southern California Edison company in this city, fell from a pole near Fullerton Friday and was severely injured. He was taken to a Santa Ana hospital for treatment. St. Joseph's Academy will begin its term of school Monday, September 4. A kindergarten will also be alled to the school hereafter. E. S. Goble and wife have returned home after spending a ten-days' vacation at Redondo. Ted Dickel came in last week on a visit to his parents, Mr. and Mrs. H. A. Dickel, and will remain for an indefinite period circulating among his old time friends. Ted left Anaheim ten years ago and engaged in the mining industry, but he is now living on a ranch at Deer Lodge, Montana. He has fully recovered from his recent illness that necessitated an operation at a Spokane hospital. Rev. George Meiger, who has been pastor of the Lutheran church at Olive for the past five years, has resigned and accepted the pastorate of Zion Lutheran church at Oakland. W. P. Webb celebrated his 60th birthday on Tuesday, and says he never felt better in his life. It being election day Mr. Webb put in a straight republican ticket. All members of the Merchants' association will close their places of business on Monday, September 4, Labor Day. Ernest Lindner of the Mergenthaler Linotype Company, was in town yesterday.
