He has been driver of the motor fire truck here for two years. Mr. and Mrs. F. J. Schierlmann have returned from a month's visit in the middle western states.

John Eymann and family have returned from a visit at Big Bear lake, which he pronounces one of the beauty spots of the state. The lake now contains more water than at any time in its history, not excepting two seasons ago when excessive rainfall was had throughout the state.

Berger spent Sunday in Huntington Beach. When the city of Anaheim gets its 20 acres of land, which is embraced in its municipal farm in the west section, into full grown orange trees, it will have a valuable piece of property, netting the city a tidy sum annually. The three year old orange trees now on the place are putting forth fruit in quantity ahead of any other trees of similar age elsewhere. Many orchards about the county, those that are classed as being among the best, bring their owners a thousand dollars per acre net. There are some orchards that do better than that. Were the city's trees as good, and there is no reason for them to be otherwise, a person can readily compute the handsome income to be derived from that source. This money, if applied to the maintenance of the city government, would materially reduce the tax rate, thereby greatly relieving the financial burdens now met by taxpayers within the city. The city trustees are to be commended for their business judgment in making it possible for the city to own such valuable realty and in the years to come will furnish funds to the city that will be an asset of considerable magnitude. Gov. Stephens has made a number of changes in the assignments of examining physicians in the conscription. Dr. L. J.

The lake now contains more water than at any time in its history, not excepting two seasons ago when excessive rainfall was had throughout the state. Fishing in the lake affords campers much sport and the trout are said to be delicious. The tall pines are objects of beauty, and together with the other trees and plant life give the place a picturesque appearance. The canyon road leading to the grounds is steep in places and many autoists have difficulty in making the inward trip, while the return trip is equally hazardous, and people tell of many thrilling experiences while coasting down hill. Gov. Stephens has made a number of changes in the assignments of examining physicians in the conscription. Dr. L. J. Beebe, who was originally appointed to district 12 in Los Angeles city, has been transferred to this district, and Dr. Wehrly of Santa Ana, who was also assigned to Los Angeles, has charge of the southern district of this county.

Editor Loos of the Nevada City News, arrived in town this week to look over his old stamping ground. Loos now smokes a pipe instead of the execrable cigars which formerly were his indispensable adjunct, and says the pipe has made his tongue so sore that he can hardly tell the truth. Blame it on the pipe, Loos! Blame it on the pipe! Willis Mitchell of Los Angeles, formerly a resident of this city, was injured in an auto collision in Los Angeles on Saturday night. A street car had stopped at a crossing and was starting again when Mitchell swung his machine into its path. The car demolished the automobile. Mitchell was taken to the hospital suffering from a fractured foot and a possible fracture of the skull. Word comes over from Fullerton that many people come over to this city to do considerable of their shopping. One man who believes in patronizing his home town merchants, George B.

Fred Deakin, former Anaheim boy, who has been connected with the Santa Ana Blade for some months, has gone to Salt Lake, where he will work on the pile driver of a bridge gang. Mr. and Mrs. W. S. Trap entertained a number of friends at dinner Thursday evening, the occasion being a farewell to Mrs. Edward Erwin and her daughter, Elsie, who left Saturday for Chicago. Prof. C. R. Prince, principal of the high school, has been granted a life diploma to teach school. Should he change his place of residence it will not be necessary for him to take a local examination. Frank Wick was a visitor in town Saturday from his place of business in the southwest section. He is a buyer of cattle, calves and pigs and is conducting an extensive business along these lines. Frank is an expert butcher and handles the best in all grades of meats. Owing to the fact that Fullerton's assessed valuation has been doubled since last year's assessment, it has been announced that the tax rate for this year will be a figure between 85 cents and $1.00, presumably the latter figure. A large part of the increase in valuation comes from oil property. Should the rate be placed at $1.00, the reduction from last year's rate would be 50 cents, and it is said the city's affairs will not be impaired by this reduction. Although a number of county fees have been charged according to a Mrs. W. T. Alling was visiting in Santa Ana Thursday. John Kopitzke was a business visitor in town Friday from his ranch in the west country. Mr. and Mrs. J. S. Sheridan are at home again after a ten days' trip to Yosemite. C. C. Jenness was a business visitor in town a few days ago from his ranch in the south east section. Mrs. Frank Hirt will leave this week for an extended visit to Burlington, Iowa, where she will visit with her uncle, George W. Bruns, and other relatives. Mrs. Hirt has not been east for ten years and looks forward to a pleasant visit in her former eastern home. Mr. and Mrs. Leonard Evans and Mr. and Mrs. Ralph Maas went down to Huntington Beach Thursday and in the evening a number of friends of Mr. and Mrs. Evans followed them and gave them a weinle bake surprise party. Herman Stock, who suffered a stroke of paralysis a couple of weeks ago, has so far recovered that he is able to get on the street again. He is not quite as active as he was, but he is gradually improving and expects to be as good as new in a short time. A lost registration card landed a Brea man in a Montana jail on suspicion that he was a slacker. Officials asked to see his card and when he could not produce it, they placed him in jail. A telegram appraised Albert Launer of Brea of the man's plight stopped at a crossing and was starting again when Mitchell swung his machine into its path. The car demolished the automobile. Mitchell was taken to the hospital suffering from a fractured foot and a possible fracture of the skull. Word comes over from Fullerton that many people come over to this city to do considerable of their shopping. One man who believes in patronizing his home town merchants, says he follows that rule as far as he can, but when he can come here and get just as good articles for a great deal less money, he says his conscience does not hurt him a bit by coming here under the circumstances to buy his supplies. Lorenzo Flores, a Los Angeles Mexican, was struck by a Santa Fe train at Rivera Thursday night, and with one foot cut off, both legs broken and his skull crushed, he was brought to this city and then taken to the Orange county hospital, where he died. H. C. Field, engineer, stated that the man staggered on the track as though intoxicated. Physicians stated that he had been drinking. When B. Hartfield and family were returning to this city late Saturday night, his auto struck the silent sentinel at Chartress and Los Angeles streets, tearing off one of the rear wheels, disabling the car, but none of the occupants were injured. Officer Germann helped right matters and after the machine had been jacked up was started for a nearby garage. While the driver was entering the garage one of the wheels on the emergency truck was put out of commission by striking the side of the doorway, causing more trouble. Finally matters were straightened out and the machine later was repaired. A man who said he lived in Placentia, came into the police station Sunday afternoon, and with a wild look in his eye, said: "Yes, I'm the man. Lock me up; you can get the rest of the bunch tomorrow." He talked in a vague sort of way and looked like a fellow with a "hold over." It being Sunday, and this town is surely dry on the Sabbath, the officers surmised that the man may have had a bottle of tequila planted somewhere and that he had become fuddled after its use. He was sent on his way home. Se Deputy Sheriff John Calkins of West Anaheim brought in a Mexican named John Anenylas to the city jail Sunday evening, whom he claimed had stolen horse feed from him. Calkins has been missing feed right along and had a suspicion that the Mexican was the thief and took him into custody. Calkins says one of his horses has been found loose on many occasions, believing this to be the work of the Mexican, who thereby created the impression that Calkins' own horse was helping himself to the feed, which was kept in a large box in the barn-yard. Calkins found some of his feed been announced that the tax rate for this year will be a figure between 85 cents and $1.00, presumably the latter figure. A large part of the increase in valuation comes from oil property. Should the rate be placed at $1.00, the reduction from last year's rate would be 50 cents, and it is said the city's affairs will not be impaired by this reduction. Although a number of county fees have been changed, according to a statement of county fines recently received by County Clerk Williams, marriage licenses will still remain $2. In order to adopt a child there will be no costs since July 27, when these rules went into effect. Adoption fees were formerly $6. Filling abstract judgments from the justice's court will now cost $1, instead of 25 cents, and the same raise from 25 cents to $1 has been made on the filing of statements of increased capital, change or increases of directors, change of place of business, and notice of indebtedness, by corporations. A popular resort has been built up in Carbon canyon, a short distance above Olinda. A sulphur spring of good proportion has existed there for many years, but no improvements were ever attempted there as it was not possible to secure a lease of the premises. The springs were used by many people in the neighborhood and many from this city used to go there to enjoy the health giving qualities of the mineral waters, even though the accommodations were limited. Beautiful canyon scenery abounds there in plenty, and presents a rustic picture that is beautiful to behold. Now that the resort has received modern accommodations it will no doubt grow into popular favor. Five men have taken out first papers of citizenship. Two of them are brothers of J. A. Knapp of Garden Grove. These two are Robert L. and Elmer C. Knapp, both born in Minesing, Canada, both here since 1899, both farmers on Anaheim R. D. 4, the former 23 years old, the latter 25.

The San Joaquin Lima Bean Growers' association held its annual meeting at the Irvine school house, electing officers for the ensuing year. W. C. Jerome was re-elected president and delegate to the California Lima Bean Growers' association. W. J. Cheney was elected secretary, and the other directors are P. I. Wilson, Guy Wilmot and J. H. Hankey. Growers were well satisfied with the results of the organization for the past year. Reports were to the effect that crop prospects are excellent, and are particularly good considering the fact that there was a hot spell in June. Five lighting districts in Orange county, including El Modena, Tustin, Garden Grove, Buena Park and Westminster, were knocked out by a decision of the supreme court in a case from Van Nuys, in which it is declared that the act under which these districts were organized is unconstituted.

H. Seaver, directors. Mrs. Wm. Berkenstock of Placentia, was brought to this city last week and operated upon for appendicitis. She stood the operation well and is making a good recovery. Barring unexpected complications she will be able to return to her home in a few days. Sunday evening, whom he claimed had stolen horse feed from him. Calkins has been missing feed right along and had a suspicion that the Mexican was the thief and took him into custody. Calkins says one of his horses has been found loose on many occasions, he believing this to be the work of the Mexican, who thereby created the impression that Calkins' own horse was helping himself to the feed, which was kept in a large box in the barn-yard. When Calkins found some of his feed, in a nose bag belonging to the Mexican, which he mixes differently from anyone else, and can easily tell it from a glance, he decided to nab the fellow. When placed under arrest the Mexican struck Calkins in the face while the officer was off his guard. Calkins grabbed him and putting him in an auto came up town with his man and turned him over to Officer Germann. Monday morning the prisoner was given a hearing before Judge Howard, and was given 30 days in jail. E. C. Cunningham, a member of the Temple Square quartet and Miss Margaret McNenney were married last Saturday and left on a wedding trip, but failed to tell their friends where they were going. Mrs. V. W. Hannan paid a visit to friends in Los Angeles Thursday. Mr. and Mrs. J. Frank White have returned from a trip to Chicago and are now occupying their home on Placentia avenue.

For years Mr. White practiced law in Chicago, but has now retired to private life. Miss Rose Clabaugh spent last week in Long Beach. Five lighting districts in Orange county, including El Modena, Tustin, Garden Grove, Buena Park and Westminster, were knocked out by a decision of the supreme court in a case from Van Nuys, in which it is declared that the act under which these districts were organized is unconstitutional. Failure to give due notification of the formation of the district is the main ground on which the act was found wanting, it is stated. The Orange county districts, it is said, will be compelled to reorganize before they can operate further.

Tables and counters are piled high with Seasonable Merchandise. ALL UNDERPRICED Falkenstein's DEPARTMENT STORE ALL UNDERPRICED Falkenstein's DEPARTMENT STORE A small piece of tag on which a message was written led to the recovery of E. N. Cook's Bulck, which was stolen recently at Huntington Beach. Tuesday morning of last week Mr. Cook's sister found the fragment lying on a chair on the veranda of her bungalow at the beach. The message, written in a disguised hand read: "Your automobile is in charge of the officers at South Pasadena." Mr. Cook found the car undamaged. It had been parked and deserted, the officers finally taking charge of it after giving the driver a reasonable time to return and get it. Mr. Cook is of the opinion that it was merely borrowed by joy riders. George Greeder, who went with Ben Birenbaum on a tour of the up-state cities for a couple of weeks, has taken a trip over into Utah and Montana, where he will spend several weeks before returning here. After arriving in a town in Utah George missed his train to the next city, but managed to get aboard a freight which happened to be just pulling out. George threw on his suitcase and made a flying leap to land in one of the sidedoor Pullmans. In doing so he landed upon a Weary Willie who already had preempted the "sleeper," but George cared not at all for that. The rest of the journey was made in safety, but upon alighting from the train George and his pal butted into a man, who asked them where they were headed for. George told the fellow to go mind his own business, but after saying so he felt uneasy, because he saw a star under the lapel of the man's coat. George put on a bold front and stood his ground and later made his way up town, and was not further molested. He will see the sights of Montana and the Northwest and later will come home. If George takes a notion he might try hobbling his passage back home just for the Mr. and Mrs. J. W.
