Cooney lost only a day or two by the accident and is now back on the job again. When the Chameris car collided with the Edison company electric light pole at the corner of Placentia and North street, on Saturday and broke it in two, live wires lay around there in a menacing way.

PHONOGRAPHS AND PIANOS PECK PHONOGRAPH & MUSIC CO. 205 East Center Street ANAHEIM OPEN EVENINGS Local Notes Santa Ana is suffering an ice famine and dealers are supplying their customers with only half rations. Roy Charleston, who recently enlisted in the service, left Thursday to report for duty. He belongs to the field hospital. Beginning August 1st Anaheim milk dealers were forced to advance the price to 7 cents per pint or 14 cents for a quart bottle. The local dealers are not responsible for the raise.

Allen Co., wholesale piano dealers, arrived in town on Monday and will remain a month, during which time the company will display a rare stock of pianos and player pianos. The Wiley B. Allen Co. is one of the largest companies on the coast, maintaining stores from Portland to San Diego. Mr. Kirby has many friends here who are always glad to see him. When the twenty acres in the west country are put into a high state of cultivation, which will require two or three years more time, the city of Anaheim will have as valuable a piece of property as there is to be found in Southern California. The revenue from twenty acres of orange trees can be variously estimated from $500 to $1000 per acre. With this revenue coming into the city's exchequer annually taxpayers see a lowering of the tax rate, because the funds from the farm will materially help to run the city government. The L. A. Paving company moved their paving outfit here the first of the week, and are now engaged on the block on Santa Ana street between Los Angeles and Lemon. The work is to be done by private contract. The dip on Los Angeles street at that point is also to be taken out and recemented. A storm drain is to be placed in the block which will greatly relieve the situation during heavy rainfall. Water naturally drains to this point, and in the past has caused considerable inconvenience. F. W. Schmidt and wife spent Sunday with Mrs. Schmidt's parents, Mr and Mrs. Reeks of Los Angeles. Mrs. Cora Mann spent Sunday at Seal Beach. Mr. and Mrs. W. Alling made a trip to Long Beach Sunday. Romaine and LeRoy Berger, accompanied by their families, were Sunday visitors at Long Beach. New features have recently been added to the fixtures of the S. Q. R. store which not only save labor for the clerks but are convenient for the customers who can see at a glance what they want without waiting for boxes to be taken from shelves and opened. A three-sided glass show case three feet high with a plate glass top, is the main feature and in the center is a taller case with sliding doors. These cases are filled with embroderies, laces, notions, and goods of every description, and the customer can point out what she wants. It is a handy arrangement both for the customer and the clerk. Recently three men—two Mexicans and a Switzer—have been incarcerated in the city jail, classed as being "queer." One of them believed he saw swarms of mosquitoes and would jump up off his bunk and stamp upon the floor thinking he was ridding the place of the germ carriers. Another was a fresh air flend, and no sooner had he been placed in jail than he began to disrobe. He would then stand for long periods in one of the corners of his cell in deep meditation. Another of the men would shout aloud while in captivity, but otherwise appeared harmless. They were passed along to the commission of lunacy. The small child of Manager Manley of the Woolworth store, choked on a piece of bread Friday and came near losing its life. It was rushed to the sanitarium where proper treatment was given it. George Ey, aged 37 years, son of Mr. and Mrs. Frank Ey of Santa Ana, died in San Francisco on Wednesday last, being afflicted with bronchial troubles. He was born in Anaheim. At an early age he entered the service of the General Electric Company of Los Angeles, and finally became auditor of that company. Buster Callan, widely known to fans here, arrived in Fullerton Friday for a visit of a few days. Callan is with the Hayden, Arizona club but the team does not play Sunday and Callan took advantage of this to make a short visit home. The Hayden club is leading the Tri-Copper league and Callan, one of the best catchers in the league, is hitting strong. Paul Luzier finished a term in the navy a few weeks ago, returned to his home in Placentia, married and thought he had settled down. His was one of the first draft numbers drawn, however, so he re-enlisted. When he came out he was rated as electrician, first class. He went back as chief electrician, with a considerable increase in pay and many additional privileges. Many orange growers in the west section use water from the septic tanks owned by the city of Anaheim, and have been doing so for several years. They see renewed vigor imparted to their trees and consequently a better grade of fruit is harvested. A large number of orange growers are now using the water and more want it, but Rockwell says the supply is limited and the demand cannot be filled. Marshal Kellenberger arose prespiring from the rear of his machine, he having just finished adjusting a new tire. Another $26 shot to pieces, he observed. John inclines to the belief, along with many others, that one of the necessary appandages of a car is a bank account. The famed Imperial valley, even their paving outfit here the first of the week, and are now engaged on the block on Santa Ana street between Los Angeles and Lemon. The work is to be done by private contract. The dip on Los Angeles street at that point is also to be taken out and recemented. A storm drain is to be placed in the block which will greatly relieve the situation during heavy rainfall. Water naturally drains to this point, and in the past has caused considerable inconvenience. Raymond E. Nebelung has been on the sick list the last week with a severe cold. Owing to the shortage of labor he and Frank Anderson, who have twenty acres in beans have been compelled to do their irrigating at night, and it is supposed that the damp night air affected his lungs. According to latest report he will be out again in a few days. When Officer Germann was handing in food to a couple of prisoners in the city jail the other evening, one of them a negro, who is charged with beating his wife, asked the officer if he couldn't go out and take his evening meal. He said he needs a lot of fresh air, being subject to heart failure. He was fearful of the jail quarters being detrimental to the preservation of his health. The coon said he frequently had to sleep outside in order to get plenty of fresh air. Germann, who does not fall for this sentimental stuff, paid no attention to the colored man's attireles, and later handed him a couple of sandwiches and gave him plenty of water, believing that if the man was troubled with a weak heart that a light evening meal would be the best thing for him. Jimmy Holcomb is a great sportsman. He has long been the champion gopher catcher in his neighborhood and now he aspires to be the greatest fisherman. He is having a vacation at Seven Oaks and on Sunday morning started out to try his luck fishing in Mill creek. Returning in the afternoon he proudly displayed a string of 50 rainbow trout, that being the limit. Here's hoping that you catch the limit next Sunday, Jim. Mrs. L. R. Williams and Mrs. Brown are home after a trip to Yosemite park and are now entertaining Miss Duffield of Los Angeles and Mr. and Mrs. B. Brown of Newark Ohio rela saw swarms of mosquitoes and would jump up off his bunk and stamp upon the floor thinking he was ridding the place of the germ carriers. Another was a fresh air fiend, and no sooner had he been placed in jail than he began to disrobe. He would then stand for long periods in one of the corners of his cell in deep meditation. Another of the men would shout aloud while in captivity, but otherwise appeared harmless. They were passed along to the commission of lunacy. John Bright, colored, living southwest of town was arrested Monday for beating his wife, using a large piece of leather trace for the purpose. The woman was severely thrashed, and neighbors intervened and turned the man over to the police. Judge Howard on Monday bound the man over for trial, and in default of $2000 bail he was returned to jail. ADVERTISED LETTERS F. H. Austin, Raymond Altamrano, Miss Mary Blongren, Sra.

SHORT OF PIPE The Southern Counties Gas Company has received telegraphic advice from its vice president in Chicago, the company's representative who places contracts with eastern pipe mills to the effect that the Youngstown Sheet & Tube company, which has the company's contract for the 1917 pipe supply, has been ordered by the government to deliver no pipe to any of its customers without an order signed by a government agent releasing such pipe. On account of the very large amount of pipe which will be required to supply gas, water and other commodities to various training camps throughout the country, the government evidently has found it necessary to take this sten to conserve pine for these urgent Marshal Kellenberger arose prespiring from the rear of his machine, he having just finished adjusting a new tire. Another $26 shot to pieces, he observed. John inclines to the belief, along with many others, that one of the necessary appandages of a car is a bank account. The famed Imperial valley, even though it can produce a brand of heat that can't be beat any place in the state, isn't the only locality where cotton can be grown. The statement that cotton won't thrive elsewhere is disproved in Fullerton. In the city park there is a patch of cotton growing that would be pronounced first class by the most particular cotton buyer. Moreover, the bolls are about to burst. At best cotton in most places is difficult to raise and the fact that it is growing in Fullerton is convincing proof of the richness of Orange county soil and beneficent climate. The Southern County Bank of this city has established a branch of that institution at Buena Park. The new bank is in charge of J. A. Fay of this city. It is announced that the July shipments of citrus fruits from Fullerton, including what was shipped from Santa Ysabel, total eighty-two cars. The shipments were made up of 31,723 boxes of Valencias, 656 boxes of lemons and 257 boxes of grapefruit. Mr. and Mrs. Charles Finley of San Diego spent Sunday with friends here. Mr. and Mrs. Charles Heinrichs spent the week end at Seal Beach. Charley was "among those present" at the "party" Uncle Sam has been giving at Fullerton this week. Mrs. L. R. Williams and Mrs. Brown are home after a trip to Yosemite park and are now entertaining Miss Duffield of Los Angeles and Mr. and Mrs. Ben Brown of Newark, Ohio, relatives of the late Capt. Williams. Mr. and Mrs. A. F. Graves of Fullerton and Misses Mary and Agnes Weber left Monday morning for a three weeks' camping trip into northern California. They will go by way of Bakersfield, stopping there to see friends and then by way of Fresno to San Francisco and Santa Rosa where they also have friends, then into Lake county, where the Misses Weber made their home previous to coming here. The return trip will be made by way of Lake Tahoe and Yosemite. The party carry a most complete camping equipment including a specially built commissary department and ice chest, built to fit Mr. Graves' Bulck. Miss Bertha Weber has returned to P. J. Welsel & Co., after a three and a half weeks' vacation spent partly at home and at Big Bear valley in company with J. A. Eyman and family. V. W. LaMont is boasting over the arrival of a nine-pound son at his home. The young man arrived Sunday morning and is making himself at home. Mrs. Innes Henry and daughter Geraldine and Mrs. Thomas Johnson and little daughter, Ruth of Santa Ana, have returned from a month's outing at Seal Beach. At Seven Oaks and on Sunday morning started out to try his luck fishing in Mill creek. Returning in the afternoon he proudly displayed a string of 50 rainbow trout, that being the limit. Here's hoping that you catch the limit next Sunday, Jim. Mrs. L. R.

On account of the very large amount of pipe which will be required to supply gas, water and other commodities to various training camps throughout the country, the government evidently has found it necessary to take this step to conserve pipe for these urgent purposes. The Southern Counties Gas company regrets that this condition of the pipe market places it in the position of being unable to make extensions to reach new consumers. If the indications coming from government officials are correct it will probably be utterly impossible for the Gas company to make any further extensions for domestic consumers during the current year or until such time as the emergency has passed and pipe for ordinary uses again becomes available. It is a fact that the gas company contemplates extensions and improvements for the benefit of the naval reserve training station and submarine base at San Pedro. The company is also running gas mains to the Fort McArthur cantonment and to the army inoculation camp near Monrovia. Fortunately the gas company has a sufficient amount of pipe on hand for these military and naval emergencies. Larger sized mains will be required to supply the ship building plant at San Pedro which is working on large government contracts under the direction of the ship building board. It is believed that the company will find practically no difficulty in securing pipe for military and naval purposes but there seems to be little possibility of obtaining pipe for the peace pursuits of the company for some time to come. BETTER THAN EVER FALKENSTEIN'S Midsummer Clearance If you have not yet taken advantage of the many money saving opportunities the sale affords, you should do so at once Falkenstein's DEPARTMENT STORE Directors of the Santa Ana River Development company will meet at the water office today, and will probably select a successor to the late Mr. Keech as attorney for the Anaheim Union Water company and the Santa Ana Valley Irrigation company. Three men met death at Artesia, Saturday afternoon when they were hurled from a 60 foot scaffold which collapsed. The men were Lloyd Campbell, Bill Shafer and Eugene Wilkenson. They were working on the construction of a silo. The Wiley B. Allen company have opened a branch of their establishment in this city, being located with the Peck Music company at 205 East Center street. They have a rare stock of pianos and player pianos on hand which are now on display for the inspection of the public. Their grade of pianos are of the best makes to be found anywhere and prospective buyers should visit this store before investing elsewhere. The Wiley B. Allen company will remain here for a month, and the salesmen report a flourishing business. Saturday evening about 6 o'clock as Kasper Chamires and D. Launders were driving in the former's machine near the intersection of North street and Placentia avenue, in order to avoid colliding with another car, their machine was swerved to one side and by so doing struck an Edison electric light pole at that corner. The car was wrecked and the occupants severely injured. The men were brought into the hospital and given treatment. Launders was cut about the head and face, losing several of his teeth and badly shaken up. Charmires received internal injuries and one of his ears was almost severed. At latest ac- Clyde V. Webb went up to Los Angeles Sunday morning where he was sworn into the federal army with the California militia. J. Kenyon Lybarger has accepted this old position as fireman on the pulp dryer at the sugar mill, and is working on the night shift. H. V. Weisel, administrator of the estate of William Hildebrandt, has paid an inheritance tax of $279.91. Mr. and Mrs. A. Nagel and son Kennet were at Balboa Sunday. Mr. and Mrs. C. B.
