He says it's the finest place in the state to spend a vacation. Trout fishing affords great amusement and the mountain air is good for the appetite. Living in the higher altitude also acts as a deterrent against the use of tobacco, and Bob has quit smoking for good. Joseph Hatfield came up from San Diego last week to meet his two sons, Leon and Floyd who have been in Los Angeles for some time past, and who left to join the hospital corps of the United States army. Leo Sheridan on Monday purchased two $100 Liberty Bonds. Leo signed up in the army draft and is ready to go to the front in defense of his country. The Guaranty Trust & Savings Bank as administrator of the estate of Gustav Zimmerman of El Dorado county has asked for judgment directing the Anaheim Sugar company to make out a new certificate of five shares.

Coserne Rives, a Mexican, who was serving a 60-dya sentence for stealing a coat in this city, escaped from a construction camp in Aliso canyon last week and was re-arrested in San Juan Capistrano. Justice Cox gave him a 90-day sentence to begin when the former sentence expired. Recognizing the high cost of living, the Fullerton city council has authorized an increase in salaries for city officials. With the exception of four the increase is 10 per cent. Three of the four officials were given no increase and the salary of the fourth was increased from $75 to $100 a month. City Clerk Hezmalhalch, who is also head of the water department, was given an increase only on the salary he receives as clerk. The salary is $75c to $2.50. John F. Richards, the well known Olive horticulturist, was a business visitor in town Monday. The A. B. C. Embroidery club are holding one of their enjoyable picnics at Long Beach today. Adolph Thomas, president of the German American bank and Williad Dolan, president of the Anaheim National bank, attended a meeting of bankers at Santa Ana Friday evening for the purpose of discussing the Liberty Loan proposition. Mrs. Louise Raymond and daughters, Mrs. J. F. Ahlborn and Miss Louise Raymond, and Frederick Ahlborn, Jr., left Tuesday on a visit to friends in Chicago. Burglars again operated in Anaheim Friday evening. The residence of W. G. Osborn on South street was entered Friday evening while the family was absent and got away with some small change and a quantity of jewelry. Entrance was gained through a bath room window. The Heying drug store was entered sometime Saturday night by thieves and a quantity of narcotics were taken, among which were opium and cocaine. Entrance was made through a transom over the back door. Nothing but the opiates were taken, and it is believed the thief was addicted to the drug. Local officers investigated the case, but as yet have made no arrests. Phil Germann was a member of a hunting party that went down to Capistrano a few days ago looking for coyotes and wild cats. Several hounds were taken along and after being turned loose in the hills jumped up a wild cat. The animal was chased for nearly two hours before it was killed.

City Clerk Hezmalhalch, who is also head of the water department, was given an increase only on the salary he receives as clerk. The salaries affected are subject to change without notice. The monthly salary list of the city is a trifle over $1000 and the 10 per cent raise means a monthly increase of $108. The Anaheim Sugar company has brought suit against the county for the return of $6,410.42 paid to the county as the factory's share of the taxes collected for the Anaheim-Fullerton road division, formed for the purpose of paving the state highway full width between Anaheim and Fullerton. The validity of the district has been attacked in the courts by the sugar companies and that case is on appeal. In the meantime taxes are collected every year and held pending the decision. Each year the sugar factory sues for the return of its taxes paid that year. A burglar attempted to gain entrance into the Sand residence on Resh street the other evening. He had cut the screen at a back window, but the noise awakened occupants of the house and an alarm was sent to police headquarters. Officer Sackett hurriedly responded, but on arrival at the place the marauder had made his escape. Nothing was taken by the would-be thief. Phil Germann was a member of a hunting party that went down to Capistrano a few days ago looking for coyotes and wild cats. Several hounds were taken along and after being turned loose in the hills jumped up a wild cat. The animal was chased for nearly two hours before it was killed. It would climb a tree in the canyon and jump from one to another in its endeavor to escape, but the dogs were always right after it. Finally the cat leaped from a tree into a deep gorge. One of the hounds also went over the bank after its prey, landing upon the cat's back. A fierce fight ensued between the two, the dog being clawed severely. Presently the pack came upon the scene and the wildcat was killed. Phil secured the pelt and now has it hanging up to dry in the property room in the city jail and when thoroughly cured will use it for a mat. That one of her nephews has been killed and two others badly wounded in France was word received by Mrs. George McPhee of Santa Ana. The news came in a letter from Mrs. McPhee's sister, Mrs. Logan, at Winnipeg, Canada. The letter said that Roy Logan had been killed and that Clifford had had both of his arms shot off, and he was left partially paralyzed. Another nephew of Mrs. McPhee, Jack Henderson, a son of Mrs. McPhee's oldest brother, was injured while driving ambulance. He was seriously wounded in the head, according to a cablegram received by his father. Jack was somewhat of a cripple, and could not enlist as a soldier, but was allowed to go as an ambulance driver. Motorcycle Office Beach has sworn Otis Lamay will while intoxicated curred on Sunday, between this city car was travelling speed and refused dered by the office but the gas in his and he was forced taking it.

Local Notes W. O. Hart and J. F. Cramer of Orange were in town a few days ago and made a pleasant call at this office. Judgment has been recorded against E. H. Peterkin in favor of the Anaheim Beef & Provision company, the amount being $617.80, with costs amounting to $72.20. Mrs. S. P. Falker of Yorba Linda was found lying unconscious in her home last Wednesday and was rushed to the Anaheim sanitarium for treatment. Mr. and Mrs. Jack Burkhart left Saturday night for Bakersfield where they will spend Mr. Burkhart's vacation with his sister, on their ranch near the oil town. A. A. Eder for a number of years a resident of East Anaheim, has removed to Los Angeles, where he will in the future reside. Mrs. Nellie G. Downs left on Monday for McKeesport, Pa., where she will remain for an extended visit. A. E. Hiles contemplates taking a trip to the mountains for an extended vacation, where he can forget business cares, and recuperate his health. Farmers generally and all growers of small vegetables are making good money these days, owing to prevailing high prices now being quoted for all kinds of garden products. Cabbage has been going at $40 per ton for several weeks, which gives growers a very good profit on their labors. Potatoes have been selling at from $2.25 to $3.00 per hundred, but for good quality have settled down to the latter figure in carload lots. Several weeks ago spuds jumped to six cents, due in great part to speculation. At present Miss Lillian Clabaugh left Saturday for Flagstaff, Ariz., where she will visit friends during the summer. Misses Logan, Beck and Duffield and Mrs. King of Los Angeles were guests on last Sunday of Mrs. L. R. Williams. Anaheim was well represented in Venice Sunday, quite a number of local people being seen in the front row, watching the bathing girls' parade. Mrs. Susan L. Beebe of Fullerton left the first of the week for Seal Beach, where she will remain for an extended visit. Joe Hessel, George Meyer and Dr. J. H. Boege left Saturday morning for Big Bear lake where they spent several days fishing. Mrs. Joe Hessel entertained the Al-fun club Wednesday afternoon. The time was spent principally in card playing. Mrs. E. J. Hartung winning first prize and Mrs. John Sellinger second. A two course dinner was served at five o'clock. Today is Flag Day. The colors should be seen waving from every house in Anaheim this morning. The day has a particular significance this year for the nation is now at war in defense of Old Glory and the things it represents. The Four-Four club went to Los Angeles on Thursday evening where they attended a performance at the Orpheum, having supper afterwards at a popular down-town restaurant. This will be the last meeting of that popular club for three months, as they disband for the summer. Mrs. Finney entertained the Ladies' Euchre club on Thursday afternoon. A very pleasant time was spent by those present, and prizes of silk hose Mrs. Daniel Naugle will leave Sunday on a two months' visit to Hermann, Missouri. She is going to visit relatives whom she has not seen for seventeen years. People of Anaheim should remember that Friday evening of each week is the night set apart by the Anaheim home guard for drill. Nothing should be permitted to interfere with this drill. Lodges and societies meeting on that night could probably arrange to have meetings on other evenings thus leaving the members free to join with the guard if they so desire. The attendance at these drills is not what it should be, considering what neighboring towns are doing, and Anaheim should not fall behind. Growers who have planted sweet potatoes are assured of a good market when the crop comes in which will be soon. Owing to a scarcity of plants the acreage has been curtied, many farmers desirous of planting sweets having had to forgo that privilege owing to their inability to get the settings. It is said there is also a scarcity of seed beans, and owing to that fact there will not be as large an acreage of that product as desired. The natural result of these conditions will insure good markets for all kinds of vegetables. A letter received by District Attorney L. A. West, secretary of the Orange County Council of Defense, from Mrs. Bertha L. Cable, chairman of the California Woman's Committee of the Councils of National and State Defense, states that Mrs. A. J. Lawton of Santa Ana has been appointed temporary chairman for Orange county. The letter asks that steps be taken here to form a permanent county organization for women to carry forward defense work. Constable L. D. Jaynes of Buena of small vegetables are making good money these days, owing to prevailing high prices now being quoted for all kinds of garden products. Cabbage has been going at $40 per ton for several weeks, which gives growers a very good profit on their labors. Potatoes have been selling at from $2.25 to $3.00 per hundred, but for good quality have settled down to the latter figure in carload lots. Several weeks ago spuds jumped to six cents, due in great part to speculation. At present prices growers are pilling up big bank rolls and no one begrudges them their good fortune. Large quantities of potatoes and cabbage are being shipped out from the West Anaheim station. During the past three weeks from two to five carloads of cabbage have gone out daily and about the same quantity of potatoes have been shipped. Cabbage has been bringing $40 per ton, while good potatoes are quoted at 3 cents in carload lots. All the shipments have been consigned to Eastern points. It is reasonable to suppose that similar quantities of these products are being shipped from many other sections in the county. This year's graduation class from the Buena Park grammar school, which closed last week, is one of the largest for several years, and speaks well for the training they have received. The graduates to receive diplomas were Kate Hill, Walter Burger, Marian Davis, Orville Calloway, David Allen, Maggie Goldle and Norma Middleton. Announcement is made of the retention of the present teaching force and the same young ladies as teachers will return next year. Capt. G. M. Gordon, who supervised the construction of an aeroplane at Placentia, and who has seen service in France, having been connected with army as an aviator, was in town a few days ago, a guest of Chas. L. Newcombe, who also gave valuable assistance in the construction of the aircraft in our neighboring town. Capt. Gordon is an enthusiastic airman and sees a great future for aerial navigation in this country. While the citizens of Placentia have donated liberally towards the building of the aeroplane in their town, Capt. Gordon believes there is room for advancement and would like to interest citizens of this city along similar lines. The Four-Four club went to Los Angeles on Thursday evening where they attended a performance at the Orpheum, having supper afterwards at a popular down-town restaurant. This will be the last meeting of that popular club for three months, as they disband for the summer. Mrs. Finney entertained the Ladies' Euchre club on Thursday afternoon. A very pleasant time was spent by those present, and prizes of silk hose were won by Mrs. Closson, Mrs. Hamler, and Mrs. F. Rimpau. Refreshments of salads and cake were served, by the hostess at the close of the games. Mr. and Mrs. F. J. Schierlmann left Monday morning for a short visit to Eastern points. They will visit Salt Lake, Denver, Kansas City and spend some time at their former home in Coffeyville, Kansas. They expect to return in about a month. The party will make the trip over the Santa Fe. Supervisor William Schumacher and wife, who left for the north on a honeymoon trip after their marriage at Santa Barbara ten days ago, have returned to the South and are at their home at Buena Park. Mr. Schumacher was in town Monday receiving the congratulations of his numerous friends. The case against Charles H. Rockwell has been dismissed by Justice Cox. Rockwell was arrested some weeks ago on a warrant sworn to by Scott R. Walters, charged with stealing an auto. It is reported that Rockwell had sold a car to Walters who finally ceased making payments. Learning that he was about to sell the machine Rockwell took possession of it and locked it up, whereupon Walters caused his arrest, charging him with stealing the car. Justice Cox stated that it was a case for the civil court to determine the ownership. Mici Creed, one of the soiled doves caught in the net when the district attorney and Anaheim police raided three houses of ill repute some weeks ago has asked that a new trial be granted her. She states that she pleaded guilty under the impression that she would receive a light sentence or a "floater," whereas Justice Cox handed her a six months' sentence. She appealed to superior court, and after listening to her case Judge Constable I. D. Jaynes of Buena Park, has appointed W. L. Mayhew his deputy. Jaynes is a sergeant in the Seventh regiment, and is now with the colors. An auxiliary to the Red Cross society is being organized at Buena Park and has at present twenty-six members. Mrs. J. B. Reeve of La Mirada, and Mrs. Benchley of Fullerton, each gave interesting talks before the members of the Ladies' Mutual Aid society last week. They explained the purpose of the organization and told of the vast amount of work being done by the Red Cross. The opportunity to assist is being enthusiastically received by the Buena Park ladies. A meeting will be held Thursday afternoon in the Congregational church parlors, at which time new members will be received and further work planned. Don't fail to attend the Flag Day exercises at the Fairyland theatre tonight. Every loyal citizen should be there to help celebrate the birthday of Old Glory. Mrs. Richard Melrose and Mrs. F. A. Backs, Jr., and little daughter Florence, are spending a few days at Long Beach.

The offense occurred on Sunday, May 28 on the road between this city and Seal Beach. The car was traveling at a terrific rate of speed and refused to stop when ordered by the officer. Carr gave chase but the gas in his motorcycle ran out and he was forced to stop before overtaking it. He got the number, however, and found the auto belonged to Thomas Lamay of Anaheim, consequently a warrant was issued for him. Carr has since been informed that Otis Lamay, who is now in Ventura, was driving the machine. "The Arganauts," a story of California days in '49, will be presented at the New Grand tonight. It depicts the efforts of the vigilantes to purify San Francisco during the gold excitement. Some of the most stirring events of these strenuous days are faithfully reproduced. Micl Creed, one of the soiled doves caught in the net when the district attorney and Anaheim police raided three houses of ill repute some weeks ago has asked that a new trial be granted her. She states that she pleaded guilty under the impression that she would receive a light sentence or a "floater," whereas Justice Cox handed her a six months' sentence. She appealed to superior court, and after listening to her case Judge Thomas denied her a new trial and sent her back to jail to finish the sentence. Alleging that their orange orchards have been damaged by waste water John Maag and Fred Guenther have brought suits for damages against George L. Bates and E. B. Sprague. Bates and Sprague own a Valencia grove beside the Santa Fe tracks south of Olive. The two complaints filed by Attorneys A. E. Koepsel and Walter Eden declare that frequently in the last three years water has run off of his ranch on to Maag's ranch, and across Maag's ranch to Guenther's. It is declared that this waste water has caused surplus moisture to the extent that trees and soil have been damaged. Maag asks for judgment of $837.50 and Guenther for $550. Ross Cameron and Steve Hatfield were arraigned before Recorder Howard Monday charged with having been picked up in a soused condition. They were found sleeping in an unfinished house on Zeyn street. Both pleaded guilty and were given ten-day jail sentences. Alice Smith has filed suit against Ross Smith for divorce. R. C. Dutton is attorney for plaintiff. 20 ACRE GROVE SELLS FOR $65,000 CASH C. B. Berger Company, have sold a 20-acre Valencia grove belonging to C. C. Chapman of Fullerton to C. W. Potter of Los Angeles for a consideration of $65,000 cash. W. S. Bernard, who is managing the Anaheim Dairy during the absence of Mr. and Mrs. Camp, is having a strenuous time, but he is still on the job. He drives the delivery truck and has two boys to assist him. Several days ago one of the boys mixed up with a steam cock in the dairy and scalded one of his legs so badly that he was sent home for repairs. He was at work again next day, although in a crippled condition, then the other boy, in monkeying with a target rifle shot a hole through his hand and was patched up at the sanitarium. He was again at work within a few hours, and now the distributing force consists of a boy with only one dependable leg and a boy with only one serviceable hand, but Bernard is delivering the goods all right. J. B. Neff reports the walnut orchards of this section looking especially fine, and states the walnut crop will be larger this year than for many years past.

W. Black of East Anaheim on Monday brought into the exhibit rooms of the board of trade some of the finest Burbank potatoes ever seen here. Ten of the potatoes weighed 15 pounds and 3 ounces, while many of the tubers range from 2 to 2 3/4 pounds each. Mr. Black had in four acres off of which he harvested 475 sacks, and for which he received a check for $1700, bringing about three cents per pound. He has 1½ acres more maturing that promise just as good a yield. The potatoes were grown between rows of orange trees, and this is the third successive crop off the same ground. The potatoes were planted February 16th and 17th, last and being gathered June 5th, required about three and a half months to mature the crop. Mr. Black has a fine tract of land and is enthusiastic over his success in raising the potatoes. He has a fine orchard which is doing nicely. They say that when green peas were keen in price last week, going at six cents a pound, a wily dealer here advertised them for 5 cents. A West Anaheimer seeing the advertisement phoned in for fifty pounds, and asked that the peas be delivered at once. Presently along came the order. At five cents the fifty pounds would be $2.50, but the bill read $2.60, ten cents for delivery. When the sack of peas was thrown upon the scales it weighed just 43 pounds. The man was stung, but said nothing, but is thinking a heap. Those who attend the business men's luncheon today will be given a treat, the subject of the address being one of particular interest at this time. Rev. Harry White of the M.E. church, is the toastmaster, and he has secured Bert C. Smith, formerly automobile editor of the Los Angeles Times, as the speaker.
