Pete Wisser and Paul Nicolas were out several days last week after doves. They report getting the limit each day. Both of them are now busy making arrangements to leave for the North next week on their annual deer hunt. Domestic infidelity caused a hurry call to be sent into police headquarters the other day, the scene of battle being staged over on South Clemintine street, or nearby. The husband had been in the habit of beating up his wife for a pastime, but in this case the wife became the aggressor. She "beaned" the old man with an empty C. C. and B. H. Sidnam have filed notice with the county clerk that they will henceforth do business under the fictitious name of The Sidnam Motor Sales Co. A marriage license has been issued to Cayatano Aguilar and Irene Aguarjo, both of this city. Mrs. J. L. Chambers and two children, who have been visiting several weeks with Mr. and Mrs. Wm. Chambers, have returned to their home at Barstow. Fritz Yoern went over to Santa Ana Thursday night in his auto to visit his girl. He stayed so late that the police concluded the machine, which was parked on Seventeenth street, had been abandoned, consequently they took it in. Fritz recovered it next day. Mr. and Mrs. E. S. Goble of Victorville and Mr. and Mrs. A. M. Webster of San Bernardino were visiting Sunday with L. Goble and family. Messrs. Lybarger, Hansen and Jessurun left Sunday for "somewhere in Arkansas" where they had orders to report to the Quartermaster's Reserve Corps in which they enlisted some time ago. The young men are all expert truck drivers and it is likely that before long they will be "skinning" trucks for the Sammles in France. Considerable discussion has been had here among business men relative to the merging of the two telephone companies, and especially to that phase of the matter relating to taking away the free switching privileges heretofore enjoyed by several towns in the county. At the recent board of trade meeting here it was unanimously voted that this city stand for a no-toll county, that is, grant patrons the right to talk to any section of the county. Of course it is ex- Robert Wilson has returned from the Hot Springs greatly rejuvenated in health. Ed Bustamente had two bicycles stolen from his place of business Saturday night. The wheels had been left standing outside. One wheel was missed about 11 o'clock, and within a short time thereafter he said, the second wheel was also taken. Saturday night all the downtown streets were veritably jammed with parked automobiles. Center street from Clementine to Olive was packed, and the same may be said of Los Angeles street for several blocks either way from the intersection of Center. An ordinary mortal wonders where all the cars come from. A couple of negro singers and banjo players reaped a harvest Saturday night, by going about eating houses and poolrooms and giving free entertainments. Of course donations were accepted. In one place on Los Angeles street, the negros were kept busy in their performances and grabbing the money thrown at them by the young sports, and no doubt pork chops were the order for the colored brethren for several days thereafter. A patron went into a restaurant the other day and laid down an order for roast chicken, feeling for the time being as though he was in the millionaire class, that eatable being listed at 40 cents. To his sorrow he learned that the roast chicken was all gone, so he braced himself and gave an order for a half fry, still being imbued with the Carnegie feeling. The dainty morsel was soon forthcoming and was put away with neatness and dispatch. In fact the half fry, minus the bones, was diminutive, and had the meat part been rolled into one conglomerate mass it would have made a good mouthful. Having finished his They report getting the limit each day. Both of them are now busy making arrangements to leave for the North next week on their annual deer hunt. Domestic infelicity caused a hurry call to be sent into police headquarters the other day, the scene of battle being staged over on South Clemintine street, or nearby. The husband had been in the habit of beating up his wife for a pastime, but in this case the wife became the aggressor. She "beaned" the old man with an empty beer bottle, cutting quite a gash down his forehead. Neighbors who rang up the marshal's office refused to swear out a complaint, and the officer who made the hurry call not having seen the assault, refused to make an arrest, besides the good wife did not care to prosecute, neither did the man of the house. In times past some lively settees are reported as having taken place, but the family differences have never gotten along as far as the justice's court. Clarence McFadden of Placentia was a business visitor in town a few days ago. Mr. McFadden is a strong advocate for the storm water district, and fails to see why the people cannot come to some agreement and accomplish something that would give this section protection from flood waters. The river bed in its present condition opens the way for the river to take a new course, in the event of heavy rainfall. During the last flood a large volume of water passed north of town, and the only thing that prevented the entire stream from going there was the heroic work of 75 men piling up sacks of sand at the bend in the river, to fortify the sand embankment at that point, which was holding the main stream in its present channel. Had this frail barrier been washed away, the entire river would have taken its course just north of the city limits. Mr. McFadden is a pioneer resident of this section and has seen the Santa Ana river cut some queer pranks in the past. He is a firm believer that the people of this section should forget their petty differences, and all pull together. Orange county people who transact business at the county clerk's office will regret to learn that W. B. Williams has given up the office. His resignation was handed to the supervisors yesterday, and N. T. Edwards of Orange was appointed in his place. On September 14, W. B. Williams will be considered discussion has been had here among business men relative to the merging of the two telephone companies, and especially to that phase of the matter relating to taking away the free switching privileges heretofore enjoyed by several towns in the county. At the recent board of trade meeting here it was unanimously voted that this city stand for a no-toll county, that is, grant patrons the right to talk to any section of the county. Of course it is expected that a slight raise in the rate would be exacted for this privilege. Other towns in the county are taking a similar view of the new order of things, and the no-toll plan seems to be the popular one. The police arrested two men Saturday night, who were charged with driving an automobile while intoxicated. Their machine collided with another car on West Center street, their car being wrecked by the impact. They gave the names of Herbert Crestwell and O. K. Bill and said they were from Long Beach. On Tuesday morning Judge Howard fined them $50. This is a serious offense, and Marshal Kellenberger is going to bring all offenders to justice. Driving cars without lights is also a dangerous practice and everyone violating this ordinance will be arrested. The proper parking machines is to be rigidly enforced, and people are given warning to avoid infractions of these laws. During the past few weeks a large number of persons have been fined, and in some instances the penalty works a hardship, but officers are going to treat all offenders alike. A man named McGilveray, was locked up Friday, charged with intoxication. Once in jail he began to sing and attempted to make an impromptu speech, but the officer in charge made him desist. Mac then proceeded to break the jail floor by stamping upon the cement, and his shoes were taken away from him. It was then that he devoted his time to a session of song. The man while not insane has the appearance of one who needs a balance wheel. He was liberated after depositing $5 with the judge. Chicken thieves are again active in this section and numerous thefts of poultry in the outlying districts have occurred of late. A shotgun loaded with buckshot, near at hand, would be The first meeting of the Ebell Society for 1917-18 was held last Saturday afternoon in the Masonic temple. The address by the new president, Mrs. Ida Dutton was very inspiring, her subject being "Service." Each member gave a vacation experience, and some of them provoked much laughter. All given were amusing and interesting. Several delightful vocal solos were rendered by Mrs. Farley, Miss Jessie Boyd favored the audience with a reading. A representative of the King method of preserving fruits and vegetables was present and gave a demonstration. The club has the promise of having a very successful year's work. Mr. and Mrs. J. W. Duckworth left this week on a three week's trip to the north. They will visit San Francisco, Tacoma, Seattle and Vancouver, and will also take a steamboat trip on the Columbia. This is Mr. Duckworth's first vacation in three years and he is going forth with the intention of enjoying himself. Mr. and Mrs. Leon Porter of Los Angeles were visiting friends in this city the latter part of the week. Mrs. E. B. Merritt and daughter, Miss Eva, are at home again after spending a vacation at the beaches. R. W. McClellan and family have returned from a vacation at Seal Beach. Mrs. McClellan and children spent a month at the seaside. Mr. and Mrs. G. W. Hamler have been spending a week at Seven Oaks, returning home Sunday. Mrs. Esther Schmelzer, who spent Orange county people who transact business at the county clerk's office will regret to learn that W. B. Williams has given up the office. His resignation was handed to the supervisors yesterday, and N. T. Edwards of Orange was appointed in his place. On September 11 Mr. Williams will become cashier of the First National Bank of Santa Ana, the largest bank in Orange county. C. S. Crookshank, one of the best known bankers in the county, will retire as cashier, a step he has long contemplated, and the place of Andrew Getty, vice-president, as active business head of the bank will be taken by A. J. Crookshank, president of the bank, until recently manager of the Santa Ana Sugar company, his interests in which he sold a few weeks ago. Mr. Williams, a recognized leader in Republican politics, has been county clerk for nearly 11 years. A new family has moved into the neighborhood, and beside several frolicsome kids have a pen of chickens. A lordly rooster watches over the egg producers and regularly at 2 a.m. with slight intermissions, he keeps up crowing until 4. The old bird has a lusty cry, his deep notes being heard for many blocks, and might be the one that came over in the Ark. Should some one administer the sulphur dope to this particular barn-yard warbler it is not at all unlikely that many late risers would dance with joy. Dr. M. M. Henderson, Dentist, Suite 1, Mullinix Bldg., Anaheim. Chicken thieves are again active in this section and numerous thefts of poultry in the outlying districts have occurred of late. A shotgun loaded with buckshot, near at hand, would be a handy weapon. There are many ranchers who believe in shooting first and asking questions afterwards when they are visited by these nocturnal marauders. Recently ranchers of Orangelorpe organized a vigilante committee to look after these roving bands of thieves, whom it is believed come from Los Angeles. Thefts in that neighborhood have stopped to a great extent, but it would be well for all people to be on the lookout for chicken thieves and give them a warm reception. Mrs. LeRoy Berger spent a couple of days visiting friends in Los Angeles. Mrs. J. A. Hessel returned Monday from Seal Beach where she has been spending several days. Fred Dyckman was up from Seal Beach the first of the week visiting old friends. Mr. and Mrs. Theodore Roberts gave a party Sunday in honor of the birthday anniversaries of their two young sons, Theodore and Joseph. Theodore is four years of age and Joseph has reached the age of two. Dr. M. M. Henderson, Dentist, Suite 1, Mullinix Bldg., Anaheim. R. W.

Called in the draft and by his own request selected as among the first to go, Constable W. R. Coleman of Santa Ana township has been given a 60-day leave of absence from the state by the board of supervisors. This leave will be extended as time elapses. The constable has appointed his brother, L. E. Coleman, as his deputy to hold the office down during his absence.

Orange county citrus growers are much interested in a test which is being made by the Murphy Oil company of "liquid cyanide," a new method for the fumigation of trees. The liquid cyanide process, according to those who are familiar with its operation is a much easier way of dealing with the scale than by the use of the Cyanofumer. The only question now in the minds of orchardists is whether the per centage of "kill" made by the liquid cyanide will be as great as that which follows the application of gas by the more generally known and older method. Tests made last year in many other districts seem to indicate that the efficiency of the new method is equal to that of the Cyanofumer. William Dingle of Los Angeles, who perfected the Cyanofumer some four years ago, subsequently selling his device to the Braun corporation, is the inventor of the liquid cyanide. Tests were made in many ditsricts last year and it is stated that on the strength of the results the liquid is superseding the use of the Cyanofumer in those localities. The new method was tried at Anaheim some months ago. Liquid cyanide is the product of a process whereby the gas formed by the combination of sulphuric acid and cyanide is reduced to a temperature in which it liquifies. The equipment for the application of the liquid consists briefly, of a small tank which holds the mixture and a pump which vaporizes it and forces it through a pipe into the fumigating tent. The value of the new device or process it is said, lies chiefly in its convenience and the speed with which it can be made to work. The equipment fully loaded weighs only 35 pounds so that it can easily be carried by a man.

NEWPORT'S ASSESSMENT The assessed valuation of Newport Beach has jumped $675,991 in the last year, bringing the total up to 62,858,-750, which is going some for a small city, and which is only a starter of what the valuation will be when Newport Bay is the recognized commercial harbor of Orange county. With the increased valuation and the fact that the water bonds and interest will be taken care of out of revenue from the department in the future, will give the city departments more money with which to conduct the city business and carry on needed improvements, for the city council has established the tax rate at $1.30. This is the same as last year. Heretofore, however, the water bonds and interest have been paid out of the general fund. The increase in the assessed valuation has been due largely to the annexation of Balboa Heights and Balboa Island. Dressers in the World Are Wearing Our Clothes ARE YOU?
