The local Elks were making preparations for entertaining two thousand visitors and fully that number of strangers were present. They came six hundred strong from Santa Ana, five hundred from Los Angeles, while Pasadena, Santa Monica, Alhambra and other towns in the vicinity of Los Angeles sent several hundred. blems, that being a patriotic and exclusively American order, mingled with the purple and white. Even the central globes of the ornamental street lights were painted purple, and wherever the visitors looked the familiar colors and welcoming signs greeted them. Anaheim certainly extended a hearty welcome to the visitors. The Anaheim lodge enjoys the distinction of being the only one ever instituted with one hundred charter members on the roll, every one of who was already an Elk. There are many other members in the northern part of the county who will join and applications are being turned in by numerous others who desire to mingle with the antlered herd.

Brotherhood of Elks which assembled in Anaheim Tuesday night to assist in the birth of the baby lodge, which is the 1345th to be instituted in the United States. The local Elks were making preparations for entertaining two thousand visitors and fully that number of strangers were present. They came six hundred strong from Santa Ana, five hundred from Los Angeles, while Pasadena, Santa Monica, Alhambra and other towns in the vicinity of Los Angeles sent several hundred. San Diego, Redlands, Riverside, El Centro, San Bernardino, Pomona, and other towns to the east were well represented, many of them coming in autos. Two special trains came in from the north between eight and nine o'clock, one of them coming from Los Angeles the other from Pasadena. Two bands came with them to head the processions on the street and to help in the entertainment of the multitude. The Santa Ana lodge and the local Elks assembled at the Hotel Valencia, formed in column and headed by the Anaheim band, marched to the Santa Fe depot to meet the special trains. A large circus tent had been secured and pitched at the corner of Lemon and Chartres streets in which the work of institution and the banquet was held. When the trains came in the Elks formed in three divisions and marched to this tent. The first was the Los Angeles contingent, the second Pasadena and the third Santa Ana. Each was headed by a band. It was a difficult bunch to manage, however, as numerous small bands stamped, broke out of the herd and wandered down the street, commandeering passing autos and making themselves perfectly at home. It was three o'clock in the morning when the work of institution, the installation and the banqueting was ended. District Deputy Grand Exalted Ruler H. W. Brown of Santa Monica, was the installing officer, assisted by Grand Esteemed Loyal Knight, E. W. Han, of Whittler, Grand Esteemed Lecturing Knight, M. M. Moutlon of San Diego, Grand Secretary Anson C. Thomas of Pomona, Grand Treasurer Charles P. Robinson of Alhambra, Grand Tyler W. Bateman of San Pedro, Grand Chaplain W. J. Desmond of Long Beach, Grand Esquire M. F. Shannon of Los Angeles, Grand Inner Guard P. C. Dunmick of Glendale. Ninety-nine charter members compose the new lodge. There were one Anaheim Ebell proved herself a charming hostess at the fifth annual convention of Orange county Federated Woman's clubs on Saturday. A special program had been prepared by the Executive board. The addresses given were excellent. An unexpected pleasure was the presence of Mrs. C. C. Arnold, of Riverside, president of the Southern District, C. F. W. C., who in a short talk gave a review of the work that is being accomplished by clubs in the different countries. Mrs. Geo. A. Miller, of Long Beach, one of a committee of three appointed by the United States secretary of labor, told of what would be asked of the club women of the United States if war continued. Her subject was "National Service of Women." Mrs. Victor Montgomery of Santa Ana gave a splendid talk on "The Old Missions of California." For many years Mrs. Montgomery has been intensely interested in the early history of our state, especially about the old missions, and has made a deep study of them and brought out many interesting incidents showing the absolute faith of Juniper Serra in God and His care over this beloved saint. Another pleasing number that was not on the printed program was two violin solos by Clarence Chamberlain, Mr. Duguid of Pasadena accompanist. A four course luncheon was served in the domestic science room that had been transformed into a bower of green and white, the Ebell club colors. One hundred and forty-five were sealed, the waitresses being dainty high school girls dressed in white with green and white caps. They were Misses Jessie Boyd, Francis Backs, Edith Simpson, Leone Hauck, Mary Owens, Harriett Corwin, Elise Jesserun and Ruth Coons. Mrs. R. B. Herrman was chairman of the kitchen committee and Mrs. E. H. Boyd chairman of the dining room committee. Delicious fruit punch was served throughout the afternoon in the entrance hall by Mrs. C. R. Gates. The newly elected officers are: President, Mrs. E. W.

Ninety-nine charter members compose the new lodge. There were one hundred signatures on the roll, but the death of Largo Bayha created a vacancy which could not be filled. The officers selected a month ago and installed last night were: Exalted Ruler, Homer G. Ames, Esteemed Leading Knight, Herman P. Noll, Esteemed Loyal Knight, T. L. McFadden. Esteemed Lecturing Knight, W. W. Davis. Secretary, M. C. Goff. Treasurer, F. A. Backs, Jr. Tyler, A. V. Vall. Trustees, M. W. Martenet, Wm. Schumacher and Maurice Ray. The banqueting tables were loaded with all the eatables the season affords, the high cost of living being disregarded by the commissary department. Pete Nicolas had charge of the barbecued meats, but he had imported Senor Ramirez of Los Angeles, the most famous barbecue chef in Southern California to superintend the cooking. The senor, of course, had a large number of efficient assistants and the meats were cooked to perfection. Anaheim was profusely decorated for the occasion. Nearly every business house in town displayed the purple and white, some of the decorations being of artistic design. Old glory, which is displayed on most of the buildings, is also one of the Elk em- HIGH SCHOOL NOTES The Girls' Glee club entertained a large audience Monday evening with a Spanish Gypsy operetta. The operaatta showed that the girls had worked hard under the direction of Miss Slone and that Anaheim was second to none in regard to its musical talent. The stage was decorated to resemble a vineyard and on one side was an olive orchard. Between the two parts of the play the Gypsies went among the audience and for only five cents revealed the future. Friday afternoon the Senior class of the Alhambra high school will present to the students of the school, the last two acts of "The Melting Pot." This will be an opportunity so that we can see what other schools are doing. Friday afternoon at 3 o'clock Anaheim is scheduled to meet Orange in the first league baseball game. We stand a good chance to capture the county championship, and hope to win the first game with Orange. There will be a whistling concert at the high school auditorium Saturday night. Miss Shirley Bernice Irvine, a noted whistler, will furnish the principal part of the music, but she is supported by some splendid talent. The newly elected officers are: President, Mrs. E. W. Hauck of Anaheim Ebell; Vice president, Mrs. Talbert of Huntington Beach Woman's club; Corresponding secretary, Mrs. Hoppe, Fullerton Ebell; Recording secretary, Mrs. S. W.

Trustee Brunworth of the finance committee reported having examined the officers' reports which were found correct, and audited bills against the city amounting to $9915.12, for which warrants were ordered drawn. The sum includes payment of bonds and interest. The marshal reported collection of $1276.75 for licenses. The city treasurer reported a balance of $35,523.04 in the treasury on April 10. with his family to his new home, he desires to withdraw as fire chief of the local organization. Under these conditions the trustees accepted the resignation. The vacancy will be filled at a future meeting. Upon recommendation of Marshal Kellenberger, Ernest Bowen was appointed deputy marshal and has been assigned to the night guard, to fill the vacancy caused by the resignation of Albert Brunworth, who has joined the naval marines. The appointment was ratified by the board. A communication was received from the Salt Lake railway company, asking for a right of way through the city, extending for a period of fifty years. The route defined extends from North street, near Orange street, to a point on South Olive street. Upon recommendation of Engineer Steward the trustees upon granting its franchise to the company, will ask that the railway company confine its roadbed to the established street grades of the city, and also to agree to give the city free rights of way across its tracks for any sewerage extensions that may be desired in the future. It will also be asked that safety devices at crossings be installed. A profile of a newly patented illuminated traffic guide, invented by Deputy Marshal Bud Sackett and Albert Brunworth was presented to the board, and the device was asked to be placed at the intersection of Los Angeles and WORKATSULPHUR SLIDE PROCEEDING SLOWLY AT PRESENT APPEARANCES IT WILL REQUIRE SEVERAL MONTHS TO COMPLETE ROAD CANYON HIGHWAY WILL BE ONE MUCH USED BY AUTOISTS IN SOUTHLAND The work of putting down the large blocks of cement curbing to form the outer rim of the new canyon road at Sulphur Slide is progressing slowly. Contractor H. Clay Kellogg has been handicapped in his labors from one source or another, and has been granted extensions of time by the supervisors to complete the work. Several hundred feet of the curbing yet remain to be placed in position, and the task of filling in the earthen roadbed surface is going ahead as fast as possible.

The sewer inspector and street superintendent submitted monthly reports which were accepted and filed. Communication was received from G. Martin, stating that warrant 864, issued Jan. 11, 1917, in amount of $2.75, had been lost. It was ordered that a duplicate be issued to that gentleman. Attorney Ames reported that A. S. Bradford had asked him that an ordinance be passed, prohibiting the solicitation by "runners," upon trains passing through this city, of business for outside hotels. It is said that this practice has developed into a nuisance to passengers. Regularly issued advertising literature, containing hotel ads, is passed out on the trains by railway "butchers," and the ordinance suggested is aimed at parties not so identified. Secretary Whitaker of the board of trade, happening to be present, was asked what he knew about the matter, and stated that in his opinion it was the intention to prohibit these outside solicitors from plying their trade upon the railway trains. A profile of a newly patented illuminated traffic guide, invented by Deputy Marshal Bud Sackett and Albert Brunworth was presented to the board, and the device was asked to be placed at the intersection of Los Angeles and Center streets. The guide is an oval shaped steel device, eight inches in height and in the center of which, enclosed in heavy glass, will gleam a red electric light. The guide will be of unusual value at night, while glided arrows encircling its surface point the way for traffic to pass. The patentees will install the device here free, the city to furnish the juice. It is confidently expected that the illuminated guide will come into universal use. J. H. Whitaker of the board of trade addressed the board in reference to giving the Seventh Day Adventists, who may hold their annual camp meeting here in August, free lights and water during this meeting. The Adventists will stay for several days and it is estimated that 1500 people will attend. The trustees cheerfully granted the request. The high school authorities will provide camp grounds and accessories. An invitation will be extended to the Adventists to hold their meeting here and in all probability the same will be accepted. Seceral other cities will also extend invitations. John C. Austin, the Los Angeles architect, addressed the board in reference to furnishing plans for a new city hall. The gentleman stated he had been informed the city entertained the idea of erecting a new municipal building and that an election will be called to vote upon a bond issue therefor. Mr. Austin agreed to furnish the plans, and in the event that the bonds carried he is to be paid the regular fee. Should the bonds fall to carry, however, there would be no obligation. The trustees will consider the proposition. Upon motion of Trustee Cook and carried, the city clerk was instructed to notify Messrs. Strodthoff Bros. and Dr. F. H. Houck to set their frontages back upon their property on West Center street by June 1st. In their failure so to do, the trustees will begin graded grades of the city, and also to agree to give the city free rights of way across its tracks for any sewerage extensions that may be desired in the future.

Regularly issued advertising literature, containing hotel ads, is passed out on the trains by railway "butchers," and the ordinance suggested is aimed at parties not so identified. Secretary Whitaker of the board of trade, happening to be present, was asked what he knew about the matter, and stated that in his opinion it was the intention to prohibit these outside solicitors from plying their trade upon the railway trains. The trustees after considering the matter took no action, since the solicitors could refrain from seeking business while trains were passing through the town and begin again as the trains reached the city limits. The trustees passed the matter up to the county authorities. E. S. Morrow of the Pacific Telephone company had interviewed Attorney Ames and asked that an ordinance be passed, requiring house-movers to put up a deposit, indemnifying public service corporations, against loss to their wires and equipment, in the removal of buildings. The matter was referred to the ordinance committee. An agreement between the First National bank and the city, relative to the installation of a sanitary drinking fountain on the Center street side of the former's new bank building, was received, accepted and filed. A. J. Wilthies was granted permission to remove a residence building from the west section to South Olive street, between Santa Ana and Broadway. A communication was received from Elmer L. Goodrich, tendering his resignation as chief of the fire department. Mr. Goodrich recently purchased a twenty acre tract of land west of the city, and having disposed of his contracting business here, and moved approaches leading to that structure put in good shape, the canyon road will be the means of diverting a large travel to this city and vicinity. The Santa Ana river, when at floodtide, is a treacherous stream, but the people of this valley are determined to not rest until its turbulent waters have been confined within a fixed channel. The riverbed as it exists at present is more or less of a menace to property along its boundaries, and that the waterway should be improved substantially is admitted by all. It would be a commendable task for the state to finance its improvement, but since that course is very remote, it remains for the people locally to do the best they can to promote the protection work. Good progress is now being made along those lines, and should the supervisors grant the petition to form the district as now outlined, the work of dredging the channel and fortifying the western bank of the river will be speedily prosecuted. It would be well for the people of this section to work in harmony, in that the protection district may be put in operation as soon as possible, as the improvement means much good to the entire county. Marshal Kellenberger asked concerning putting on a night guard at the power house, but after discussion the board decided to erect a high fence topped with barbed wire, around the plant, as a better precaution against any overt act that may be attempted by any irresponsible person. Two flood lights will also be installed, the same brilliantly illuminating the entire premises. In regard to putting on a night guard, Trustee Cook did not look with favor upon that course, because, besides the salary, he (jokingly) said that the city would also have to furnish a bed, which would be too expensive and everybody laughed. J. A. Knapp of Garden Grove departed Tuesday for a month's visit to the principal cities of the east in the interests of the local chill industry. The trip east will be made via El Paso and the southern route to Rochester, N. Y. Mr. Knapp will visit Washington, D.C., before returning home by way of Toronto, Canada, and will visit relatives in Iowa. PHUR EEDLY ANCES IT EVERAL LETE WILL BE ONE DISTS IN PITTSBURG HEIRESS WEDS ARIZONIAN Miss Gertrude Dewees Becomes Bride Of Wealthy Cattleman Announcement has been received of the marriage at Pittsburg April 10, of Miss Gertrude Dewees of that city, daughter of Mrs. W. Dewees Wood, to Charles Johnes Lawson, a wealthy cattleman of Mayer, Ariz. The bride visited the coast with her mother and a party of friends last winter, and Mrs. Wood was a guest of friends in this city, being accompanied by several relatives and acquaintances. Miss Dewees spent some time visiting in Arizona, and while there met Mr. Lawson, and the acquaintance soon developed into an offer of marriage on the part of the Arizona cattleman, and acceptance by the Pittsburg heiress, who is worth half a million dollars in her own right. The happy couple will reside at Mayer, Ariz., where the groom is engaged in raising thoroughbred stock. Mrs. Wood is a well known and wealthy resident of Pittsburg. She is an aunt of Mrs. Neil E. Bailey of Prescott, the latter being a granddaughter of Gen. Von Gundel, who commanded a Prussian army corps in the Franco-German war of 1870. Mr. and Mrs. Bailey accompanied Mrs. Wood on her visit to Anaheim some months ago. In the party was Miss Martha Gadski of Berlin, a sister of the well known CIVIC CENTER IS ADVOCATED BY SPEAKER H. F. WITHEY OF LOS ANGELES GIVES INTERESTING TALK AT MERCHANTS' LUNCHEON EXPLAINS THE BENEFITS OF CITY PLANING AND SYSTEMATIC BUILDING OF TOWNS Patrons of the business men's weekly luncheon were treated to an exceedingly interesting paper last Thursday, read by Henry F. Withey, a Los Angeles architect. "City Planning and a Civic Center" was the subject, which was listened to by an appreciative audience. The subject was an apporpriate and timely one, as a civic center proposition will probably be presented to the voters of Anaheim within a short time. Robert Johnston acted as chairman, and announced that H. V. Weisel would be toastmaster today: Mr. Withey said: The subject upon which I have been is engaged in raising thoroughbred stock.

Yungbluth Tore Down Flag is a Myth Many rumors have been floating around town to the effect that certain citizens have been disciplined by Federal officials for using seditious language or performing unpatriotic acts, and among them was a story which gained currency last week, that F. A. Yungbluth had been arrested by a government agent and taken to a Los Angeles prison, charged with desecrating the American flag. According to the story, which was widely circulated on the street and printed in a Santa Ana paper, a lodger living in the second story of the Yungbluth building, displayed a flag from his window and Mr. Yungbluth tore it down. Investigation by the Gazette revealed the fact that this story started from a very small incident, the sanctity of the stars and stripes having no significance in the matter. A roomer who had apartments over the Yungbluth store hung out a large sized flag a week ago Monday. Considerable wind was blowing at the time, and he fastened two small weights to the lower corners. These weights hung directly over the fanlight above the doors and display windows, and the wind whipped the flag about to such an extent that seven of the small panes of glass were broken and others were in danger. As the owner of the flag was absent Mr. Yungbluth climbed up and removed the weights. The flag was not desecrated, insulted or removed. The weights were merely taken off to preserve the window panes, and Old Glory continued to wave in the breeze. Mr. Yungbluth is one of the patriotic citizens of Anaheim, was formerly a member of the militia company, and while he has sympathized with Ger- a Los Angeles architect. "City Planning and a Civic Center" was the subject, which was listened to by an appreciative audience. The subject was an apporpriate and timely one, as a civic center proposition will probably be presented to the voters of Anaheim within a short time. Robert Johnston acted as chairman, and announced that H. V. Weisel would be toastmaster today: Mr. Withey said: The subject upon which I have been called to address you is City Planning, a subject that should be of vital importance to every community which has aspirations to become larger and more attractive as the years go on. To start with, City Planning is nothing more or less than a comprehensive program procedure. It is the art or science of planning the development of a city in a systematic and orderly way—a plan which provides for its streets, boulevards, zones, and for its buildings; industrial and residential, its sewer and water system, its lighting, parks, etc. It provides for a definite and sensible scheme for community growth, showing when and how improvements should be made to properly meet present and future requirements. All public and many private buildings and improvements, if intelligently planned, in a few years would begin to show a finished, efficient, pleasing and related result. Cities are not only made to be looked at, for aesthetic enjoyment, but to be lived in, and if in the decoration of them, there be any forgetfulness of that, civic art will fail in its purpose and the effort defeat itself. Few are the cities, particularly in America, that have had a plan in the beginning to follow. In them a large proportion of the improvements have been made without forethought, and with no complete plan to be realized in the end. Here we needs must take things as we find them, and the problem resolves itself under these conditions, into practically one of alteration and addition, rather than new construction in a clear field. California cities have been doubling in population every eighteen years on the average though certain of the larger cities have doubled about every five years. To meet this ratio of increase the city of today must provide for added size and growth, or later suffer from congested conditions and inadequate surroundings. Our cities are comparatively young, and their growth so rapid that re-planning existing, unguided development, is only a small part of taking care of the future. While it is difficult to foresee exactly the growth an dexpansion of the city, careful comparative maps and plotting of population kept up for a period will show the future trend in a way that is easily perceived, just as the work of an actuary in an insurance office, shows the basis of future mortalities.

Sheriff Jackson was summoned to Buena Park Wednesday to take possession of and examine a suit case which a Mexican had been observed hiding in a clump of bushes. The excited Parkites were confident that the case contained dynamite or an infernal machine, and none of them would go near it. The sheriff boldly marched into the bushes, yanked out the case, opened it, and found it empty. The Mexican had merely cashed it, expecting to recover it later. Should the war situation become acute in this state, Marshal Kellenberger will ask that about twenty-five men hand him their names and addresses, in order that he may summon them at a given signal, and then and there deputize the men as a police auxiliary. The men will also be asked to furnish him a list of firearms in their possession together with ammunition they may have. This procedure will only be resorted to in extreme cases should any disturbance occur to warrant such action. Our cities are comparatively young, and their growth so rapid, that re-planning existing, unguided development, is only a small part of taking care of the future. While it is difficult to foresee exactly the growth an expansion of the city, careful comparative maps and plotings of population kept up for a period will show the future trend in a way that is easily perceived, just as the work of an actuary in an insurance office, shows the basis of future mortalities. All enterprises of any magnitude have been first carefully planned, and depending upon the wisdom of such plans have they succeeded or failed. Cify-growth and building in the complexity and variety of its problems is even a greater enterprise, and the large sums spent by so many municipalities to remedy errors of ill-advised or hap-hazard building could be obviated if a little far sighted planning were used in the first place. Money spent rectifying mistakes resulting from unguided growth is a loss to be reckoned not only in time and money, but an economic waste as regards over crowded housing conditions. For instance, the consulting engineer of the city of San Francisco has shown that of the $20,000,000 improvements in sewers, streets, tunnels, etc., constructed in 1914, three fourths of this sum or $16,000,000 could have been saved had San Francisco planned ahead a few years before. Of this great sum a large part went to replace the sewer system which was not originally constructed to allow for any future growth. The advantage of a definite plan to work to, and the splendid results that may be obtained with such a plan, were seen in the two expositions held in this state a year ago, where utility and adaptability of site and climate, attractiveness and convenience, all united to produce the most perfect expositions ever held on this continent. Many cities in California are municipal corporations permanently doing business on a far greater scale than did these two expositions, temporarily. If it is so easy for expositions to attain such perfection in plans and results, Continued on page 2
