ONLY ONE-THIRD IS UNFIT FOR SERVICE NORTHERN ORANGE COUNTY YOUNG MEN FAR ABOVE THE AVERAGE PHYSICALLY EXEMPTION BOARD BUSY SELECTING OUR QUOTA OF 204 MEN FOR THE ARMY The 408 young men of District No. 2 cited to appear before the exemption board at Fullerton for examination as to their fitness to be soldier boys are undergoing a strenuous ordeal this week. They pass through the hands of the board, which records any reasons they have for exemption, and they run the gauntlet of four doctors, who examine every square inch of their bodies searching for flaws in their anatomies. Judging by the reports from other sections we must have an extraordinarily healthy class of young men in this region. Ninety-one men ADVENTISTS PREPARING FOR BIG CONFERENCE Will Bring Thousands of Visitors to Anaheim August 16 to 26 Seventh Day Adventists of the Southeastern California conference will hold their annual camp meeting in Anaheim, August 16 to 26. Not less than 12 meetings a day will be held during the session. The principal services will be held at 11 a.m., 3 p.m., and 8 p.m., daily. To all these meetings the public is cordially invited by the conference president, Pastor W. F. Martin, of Riverside. This gathering is expected to be the largest of its kind ever held in Anaheim. Thousands of Seventh-day Adventists will be present from all the principal cities in this part of the state, including San Diego, El Cajon, La Mesa, El Centro, Imperial, Brawley, Holtville, Escondido, San Pasqual, Santa Ana, Garden Grove, Centralia, Orange, Corona, Hemet, Riverside, Redlands, Loma Linda, Colton, San Bernardino, Ontario, Los Angeles, Glendale, Fresno and Oakland.

They pass through the hands of the board, which records any reasons they have for exemption, and they run the gauntlet of four doctors, who examine every square inch of their bodies searching for flaws in their anatomies. Judging by the reports from other sections we must have an extraordinarily healthy class of young men in this region. Ninety-one men were examined on Monday and only 32 were rejected as physically unfit. There were 17 allens in this class, who were automatically exempted, and of the 59 passed as physically fit 46 claimed exemption, principally by reason of dependents. Twenty-six of the 136 notified to appear failed to show up. One hundred men passed through the mill Tuesday, and of this number 36 were disqualified for physical disability. Twenty-one allens were on the list. Of the 43 passed only two failed to claim exemption. Those who were passed up to Tuesday night were: 536—E. L. Smith, Fullerton, R.

Preparations for the big meeting already are well under way,a large threemast tent having been pitched for the general meetings,and hundreds of smaller tents erected for the accommodation of the campers. This is an annual event with the Adventists.The meeting this year is expected to be larger than formerly,both in account of the rapid growth the denomination is making and also because widely known Adventists leaders will be present. For convenience the Seventh-day Adventists have divided the various parts of the United States into many local conferences. There are six of these in California.In each of these conferences throughout the country the Adventists hold a camp meeting each year.Five such gatherings already have been held in California,and these have been attended in every instance by unprecedented crowds. Pastor Arthur G.Danlells,of Washington,D.C.,president o fthe Generaton,D.C.,president of the Generators,plans to attend the coming meeting.He will be one of the chief speakers.He has just returned from an extended tour of the Orient,visiting Seventh-day Adventist mission stations in the Philippines,South Sea Islands,China,日本,korea and Manchuria.He will tell of the rapid strides missionary operations are making in various parts of the world.Here probably will also speak on the world war as foretold in the Bible,and the Bible,and the events which the Bible shows will follow. Pastor George B.Thompson.of Washington secretary of the North American division conference of the Adventists,也will be a prominent speaker.Other well-known ministers who will be in attendance will be:E.E.Andross,of Glendale,president of the Pacific Union conference,and having jurisdiction in California,Arizona,Nevada Utah and western Colorado;G.W.Reaser of Glendale,field secretary of the Pacific Union conference;Prof.M.E.CadyOakland,educational secretary,Pacific Union conference;F.E.PainterGlendale,missionary,Pacific Union conference;J.L.MehlanyOakland,president of trade office,tight.to make an attempt,the differences between the question of the formal strict.Chairman Scott wished to communicate with Chancellor of the protestant faction he helm and arrange for his Fremont school and the purpose of discussing and agreeing upon a planIt was also decided to provide estimate of the cost of his work,and with the assistance Engineer Steward he been submitted as the giving us an adequate pennent from the Yorba bridge.

This pile heavily relies on concrete driven to an of 16 feet will cost $2 This includes all of the in this estimate I figure pile for the water and pile line for jetty purposes. A stream of about 35 meter will be required If driven in the summer ter would have to be pumping plants which from the pumping plan line If through your parties int-rested this water for a nominal could cut off about $200 estimated cost. The advantages of concrete are very great The obj piles along wing dams there is a heavy current sets against them and to float We have lost piles along the river in along the dry portion of upper section of the wood decay in eight or ten years concrete pile would stay be there permanently. I think that a pile would be ample as it use as long a span as use a little more wire is preferable for the low strand or barb wire and MAKING ATTEMPT TO HARMONIZE FACTIONS PROTECTION COMMITTEE ASKS FOR A CONFERENCE WITH THE WEST ENDERS FIGURES COMPILED SHOWING ACTUAL COST OF DIKING THE RIVER BANKS It was decided at a meeting of the river protection committee, held at the board of trade rooms Saturday night, to make an attempt to reconcile the differences between the people on the question of the formation of a district. Chairman Scott was instructed to communicate with Chairman Mason of the protestant faction at West Anaheim and arrange for a meeting at the Fremont school auditorium for the purpose of discussing the matter and agreeing upon a plan if possible. It was also decided to prepare an estimate of the cost of the proposed cheaper as it is a great deal less expense to put it in place. Yours truly, H. CLAY KELLOGG, Civil & Hydraulic Engineer. It is hoped the Westside people will accept the invitation and the matter can be discussed at a public meeting without a display of pyrotechnics. The situation is a grave one, and the committee is endeavoring to harmonize the factions and get to work as speedily as possible on the organization of a protection district. This step was taken by the committee in deference to a resolution adopted by the Anaheim Retail Merchants' Protective Association at a special meeting held Wednesday night. The resolution reads: "Whereas, it is the sincere desire of the Anaheim Retail Merchants' Protective association to preserve a spirit of harmony and goodwill in the community, and Whereas, it appears that there is considerable division of opinion in regard to the method of organization, of the Anaheim-Yorba Storm District, and Whereas, it would appear that a more general agreement among the component parts of such a district is desirable, Be it resolved, that the Anaheim Retail Merchants' Protective Association hereby petition the river protec- HOME AGAIN FROM TRIP TO FAR NORTH MR.

HARTUNG ARRIVE SAFELY AFTER JAUNT OF SEVERAL WEEKS SAW MANY INTERESTING SIGHTS IN ALASKA, BUT DON'T LIKE THE YUKON After an absence of nearly two months on a journey that took them as far north as the land of the midnight sun, Mr. and Mrs. John Hartung reached home again last Friday, safe and well, and overflowing with interesting information of life and scenes in the mighty Yukon country. Mrs. Hartung has a commendable habit of carrying a diary with her on her globe trots, jotting down everything worth remembering. On this occasion the contents of her note book would fill an octavo volume, and she declares she only kept a record of the chief in-between 12 that lasted two resulting in a riving at St. mouth on the blowing greatest sick th to sail with the 16th.

It was also decided to prepare an estimate of the cost of the proposed work, and with the assistance of City Engineer Steward the following has been submitted as the actual cost of giving us an adequate protection system from the Yorba bridge to the Olive bridge: Anaheim, Calif., August 6th, '17 We your committee, submit the following estimate of the cost of the proposed protection work on the Anaheim-Yorba Storm Water District: Embankment, 18 feet on top, with a 2 to 1 slope, the top of embankment to be at all points at least five feet above the average grade of the river opposite, 105,000 cubic yards at 15c. $15,750 Line of concrete piles at all up-protected points; piles 14-in. on top and 10-in. on the bottom; 22-ft. long, placed 10-ft. on centers and driven to an average penetration of 16-ft., 1860 piles at $25.00, in place. 46,500 Barbed wire and wire fencing. 3,000 Oiling top of embankment. 2,000 Cleaning brush out of river. 1,500 Brush for protecting embankment. 5,000 Protection at Yorba grade consisting of concrete apron, with concrete pile foundation 12,000 Total ... $90,750 We recommend that the assessment be made payable in two equal annual installments. (Signed) R. J SCOTT, President. A. A. MILLS, Secretary. H. Clay Kellogg, who is a contractor as well as an expert civil engineer, was appealed to and has sent the following letter as an estimate of the work to be performed and the cost of the same. Mr. Kellogg stated that he would accept the contract at the figures he has mentioned. He says: Santa Ana, Cal., August 4th, 1917. Mr. Chas Elgabroad, Anaheim, California. Dear Sir: Replying to your question in regard to the cost of concrete piles for river improvement, and the relative advantages of the same over wooden piles will state that from an inspection of my soundings and piles driven above the Olive bridge, that I think a INSTITUTE SUIT TO RECOVER PROPERTY E. A. Clark Traded Sight Unseen and Is Not Satisfied Finding that a ranch in Siskiyou for which they traded sight unseen is not at all to their liking, Mr. and Mrs. E. A. Clark of this city have brought suit against Frances A. Nelson to trade back. The plaintiffs owned a two acre place just outside Anaheim that they say is worth $7,000. They say that through an acquaintance with Mrs. Nelson's mother they got to the point where they had great confidence in Mrs. Nelson, and accepted her statements as to what the Siskiyou ranch was. She is alleged to have told them that is was all good tillable land, had fifteen acres of potatoes growing upon it, and was worth $40 an acre. Other statements praised the property highly. The trade wa made. Now comes the Clarks with an awakening. They say the ranch is mostly alkali and sagebrush land, that it has but two acres of potatoes upon it, and that it is not worth over $2500. Tipton & Callor are attorneys for the plaintiffs. NEW MUSIC HOUSE OPENED IN ANAHEIM The Wiley B. Allen Company Establishes a Branch Here The Wiley B. Allen company, one of the largest houses dealing in musical instruments on the Pacific coast, has opened a branch in Anaheim. The night sun, Mr. and Mrs. John Hartung reached home again last Friday, safe and well, and overflowing with interesting information of life and scenes in the mighty Yukon country. Mrs. Hartung has a commendable habit of carrying a diary with her on her globe trots, jotting down everything worth remembering. On this occasion the contents of her note book would fill an octavo volume, and she declares she only kept a record of the chief incidents and most impressive sights. One small piece of information the book yielded was that Mr. Hartung paid $2.50 for a shave and haircut at Seward. It is hardly necessary to have a record of that incident in order to keep it green in his memory. Much has been written about the steamboat journey up the Yukon, but Mr. and Mrs. Hartung declare they never again want the experience. The staterooms are uncomfortable and inconvenient, the food is execrable, and accommodations for the comfort of the passengers conspicuously absent. The passenger boats are used as tugs to tow barges, which makes their progress slow. Besides they all burn wood and it is necessary to tie up every two or three hours and take on fuel. Mr. and Mrs. Hartung sailed from Seattle on June 18, on the Dolphin, taking the inside passage to Skagua. They passed within a quarter of a mile of the famous Taku glacier, one of the sights of the north, and sailed among huge floating icebergs. One of the bergs was covered with gulls. At Dugless they saw the ruins of the Treadwell mine, said to be the richest in the world, which was ruined by water a couple of years ago. Arriving at Skagua on the 23rd, they took a train on the White Pass & Yukon railroad for White Horse, where they boarded a steamer for Dawson. Dawson, the capital of the Klondike region, is on the decline. Like many other mining towns it sprung up like a mushroom, flourished for a time, then started on the toboggan. Lessening of the gold output, and opening of new mines elsewhere, particularly at Fairbanks, was the reason for the people deserting the town. Miners are a migratory class of people, and when pay dirt begins to get scarce they flit to new fields. The buildings of Dawson are many of them only ruins that were once inhabited by men. Dogs—the malamutes, that are the chief means of who are seeking party sailed south, their ward. Many pointed out a cano of Sheshly vomiting steamship Olly wrecked fast on the at Mazuhina town and the good at Seattle. Athe Victoria made were Rex Beach's park Rex eBach's parks," which screen.

Dear Sir: Replying to your question in regard to the cost of concrete piles for river improvement, and the relative advantages of the same over wooden piles will state that from an inspection of my soundings and piles driven above the Olive bridge, that I think a pile 22 feet in length will be sufficient. The hard boulder strata varies from 9 to 16 feet. In depth and this would give you 6 feet above the natural sand and gravel of the river, which gives you a margin of at least 1 foot above the high water line. The average section of the pile can be 12 inches square, that is, a square pile with beveled edges. I believe the best form would be a prism mold with 14 inch top and 10 inch bottom. This pile heavily reinforced, made of concrete driven to an average depth of 16 feet will cost $25.00 per pile. This includes all of the expense. In this estimate I figured $3.00 per pile for the water and piping along the line for jetty purposes. A stream of about 35 inches of water will be required. If the piles are driven in the summer time the water would have to be secured from pumping plants, which can be done from the pumping plants along the line. If through your influence with the parties interested, you could get this water for a nominal sum, you could cut off about $2.00 from the estimated cost. The advantages of concrete piles are very great. The objection to wood piles along wing dams is that when there is a heavy current the water sets against them and they are liable to float. We have lost a good many piles along the river in this way and along the dry portion of the river the upper section of the wooden pile would decay in eight or ten years, while the concrete pile would stay in place and be there permanently. I think that a pile every 10 feet would be ample as it is cheaper to use as long as you can and use a little more wire. Good hog wire is preferable for the lower section to strand or barb wire and it is much Callor are attorneys for the plaintiffs. NEW MUSIC HOUSE OPENED IN ANAHEIM The Wiley B. Allen Company Establishes a Branch Here The Wiley B. Allen company, one of the largest houses dealing in musical instruments on the Pacific coast, has opened a branch in Anaheim. The company has stores from Portland to San Diego, and is still branching out. The store here is located in the Kistler building, 205 East Center street, with the Peck Phonograph and Music company with J. J. Foster and E. E. Peck in charge. The company selected Anaheim as a location for one of its stores because it believes this is one of the best business towns in the South. The opening announcement says: "We respect the high standing of this community, educationally speaking, and shall make no sensational statements as to values. What we do say, we want you to take as 100 per cent true, however." In addition to handling most of the best pianos and player pianos made, the company is introducing the Apollo phone, an instrument combining the piano, the piano player and the talking machine in one. It is a wonderful instrument, and you can hear it play at any time you choose to stap as well as the Helmola, which is manufactured in Anaheim by Mr. Peck. As a graphaphone it has no superior. If you are a music lover you will be paid for spending a little time visiting the store. A party of Anaheimers, composed of Mr. and Mrs. August Schumacher, Mr. and Mrs. William Locke, Mr. and Mrs. E. A. Colby, Frank Perry and Miss Winifred Adams, spent Sunday at Huntington Beach. The buildings of Dawson are many of them only ruins that were once inhabited by men. Dogs—the malamutes, that are the chief means of travel, are numerous. Two of them attached themselves to the visitors and refused to be separated until Mr. Hartung bought a generous feed for them. After eating it they disappeared. If Klondikers could buy provisions at California prices they would not complain of the high cost of living. A breakfast consisting of two eggs and a couple of accessories, cost a dollar. There is no coin in circulation under 25 cents, and the smallest article you purchase costs two-bits. On June 28th they left Dawson down the Yukon to the mouth of the Tanana, then up that stream several hundred miles to the metropolis of interior Alaska. They reached Fairbanks on July 4 and found a Fourth of July celebration in full blast. It lasted three days, and although the town was强ened by miners, farmers and all sorts and conditions of people from many sections of the country, one policeman only was required to preserve order. Fairbanks is a modern town, its chief industry centering in the mines, but it is also surrounded by an agricultural country. The houses are built to protect the inhabitants from the intense cold of the winter months, but it was extremely hot when the visitors were there. The celebration was similar to our own jubilees on the glorious Fourth. They had the same baseball, races, firecrackers and noise. One of the stunts was a tug of war BOOKS AND COLLECTION BOARD The America is making an contributions to be sent to aging camps at Miss Elizabeth's Anaheim that books should be left where they were ped at the e board.

They left Fairbanks on July 7, arriving at St. Michaels at the river's mouth on the 11th. It was raining and blowing great guns. Mr. Hartung was taken sick there, but was well enough to sail with the party for Nome on the 16th. One of the chief attractions at Nome is an Esquimaux village where the natives live in their aboriginal state and devote their time principally to making kayaks, or skin canoes. The odor about the village is not pleasant, consequently visitors do not tarry long. Here again the high cost of provisions was demonstrated, as they paid three dollars for two small portions of ptarmigan. This game bird is plentiful in the mountains of Alaska, it costs only a load of shot to get one, but the caterers realize that tourists, who are seeking new experiences, will pay any price demanded without grumbling. After spending a day in Nome the party sailed on the Victoria for the south, their next stop being ateward. Many sights of interest were pointed out, among them being the volcano of Sheshaldar, which is constantly vomiting smoke. They passed the steamship Olympic which was recently wrecked on the coast and is still fast on the rocks. Stops were made SEVERELY HURT IN COLLISION WITH POLE KASPER CHAMERIS AND DEL LAUNDERS VICTIMS IN A SERIOUS ACCIDENT TWO DROWNED CHILDREN WERE BROUGHT TO ANAHEIM YES-TERDAY FOR BURIAL Traveling at a rate of speed just within the limits of the law, an automobile carrying Kasper Chamersis and Del Launders crashed into an Edison pole at the corner of Placentia avenue and North street at 5:30 o'clock Friday evening, with the result that both men were seriously injured, the auto was wrecked, and the pole broken off. The two men were picked up and brought to the sanitarium where, after an examination it was found that Kasper's injuries were so severe that he would have to remain at the hospital for repairs, but Launders was After spending a day in Nome the party sailed on the Victoria for the south, their next stop being at Seward. Many sights of interest were pointed out, among them being the volcano of Sheshaldar, which is constantly vomiting smoke. They passed the steamship Olympic which was recently wrecked on the coast and is still fast on the rocks. Stops were made at Mazuhina bay, Cordova and Valdez, and the good ship finally landed them at Seattle. Among the passengers on the Victoria whose acquaintance they made were Mr. and Mrs. Lindenberg. Rex Beach's popular novel, "The Spoil-Rex eBach's popular novel," "The Spoilers," which is also produced on the screen. He is one of the wealthiest miners in Alaska. Mr. and Mrs. Hartung brought home numerous relics of the trip which they purchased at various places, among them being a set of white fox furs. They report that northern dealers say furs will be extremely scarce the coming winter. Mrs. Hartung says they saw no evidences of submarines in the Pacific waters other than natives of the ocean, but there was much nervousness among the passengers. In faraway St. Michaels, one of the northernmost points visited, Mr. Hartung purchased a number of oranges, and when the sack was opened the wrapper on the fruit revealed that they were "Sunkist" oranges, packed by the Anaheim Citrus Fruit association, Anaheim, California. Mrs. Hartung preserved some of the wrappers and brought them home with her. An incident that was rather interesting as well as exciting was witnessed while the Victoria was passing through Behring sea. It was a battle to the death between a huge swordfish and a whale. For half an hour the combatants were in sight of the vessel, but when it passed out of range they were still fighting. BOOKS AND MAGAZINES WANTED AT LIBRARY Collection Being Made for Shipment To Soldier Boys The American Library association is making an appeal to the public for contributions of books and magazines to be sent to the soldiers at the training camps and also to the hospitals. mobile carrying Kasper Chameris and Del Launders crashed into an Edison pole at the corner of Placentia avenue and North street at 5:30 o'clock Friday evening, with the result that both men were seriously injured, the auto was wrecked, and the pole broken off. The two men were picked up and brought to the sanitarium where, after an examination it was found that Kasper's injuries were so severe that he would have to remain at the hospital for repairs, but Launders was able to stand a journey to his home on South Claudina street. The two men were on their way to Horseshoe Bend on a hunting trip. They were traveling north on Placentia avenue, and near the intersection of North street, a lady in a Ford backed out of a driveway in front of them. In order to avoid a collision Kasper swerved his car, lost control of it and it dashed into the pole. Both men were catapulted from the machine. Kasper sustained a long cut in his neck which barely missed the jugular vein, and his face was badly lacerated. Launder's chin and lower lip were severely cut, several of his teeth being knocked out. The machine was a total wreck and the pole was broken off, causing a disarrangement of the Edison service which caused much inconvenience in Fullerton. Among the other accidents reported during the past few days was the drowning of two little girls in the mouth of the Santa Ana river Sunday. They were members of prominent families in that region. One of them was the sister of Mrs. Barney Stoffel of this city and the other was her cousin. The girls were Mabel, 11 years old, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Samuel Gisler and Elizabeth Gisler, one year younger, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Robert Gisler. A younger sister of Mabel was the only eyewitness to the tragedy and when the children called for help she thought they were only fooling, but when she found they were drowning she called R. C. Justice of Bolsa, who was surf fishing a short distance away, and he removed one of the little bodies from the watery grave. The Newport car was stopped and a call for help was sent to Huntington Beach and Marshal John Tinsley and others soon responded, and the other body was found by Gifford Kutzner, a 13-year-old boy. A pulmotor was brought down from Scottsdale but was found to be no BOOKS AND MAGAZINES WANTED AT LIBRARY Collection Being Made for Shipment To Soldier Boys The American Library association is making an appeal to the public for contributions of books and magazines to be sent to the soldiers at the training camps and also to the hospitals. Miss Elizabeth Calnon, custodian of the Anaheim public library, announces that books and magazines donated should be left at the library building where they will be classified and shipped at the expense of the library board. It is requested that the donors write their names on the fly leaf or cover. It is also requested by the association that the magazines donated should not date back over two years. Nearly every home in Anaheim probably has accumulated a stack of magazines as well as numerous books that are of no further use to the household. These will be very acceptable to the boys. Dig them up and take them to the library. Do you bit. PREPARING THE CAMP FOR ADVENTIST CONFERENCE One Hundred Tents Being Pitched For Accommodation of Visitors Work is progressing rapidly in preparing the Adventist camp on the high school grounds. Already more than one hundred tents are pitched for the accommodation of the campers. The large dining tent is also up, and its seating is under way. The 100x 140 pavilion is now in use in a similar meeting in Los Angeles, but will be brought here the first of next week. It is expected that from 1200 to 1600 people will be present. There will be three regular preaching services each day, 11:00 a.m., 2:30 p.m., and 7:45 p.m. During the meeting which begins the 16th the camp will be a lively place. The cafeteria will be open to the public and run on a vegetarian plan. Prominent ministers, both from California and elsewhere will be present and participate in the preachings.
