STORE The Young People's Alliance met Thursday evening at the Hochull residence on Melrose street. Thirty members were present and after business was disposed of refreshments were served. Tommy Hedges is now spending his spare time burning up the boulevards in a new Locomobile six roadster. Tommy says if you are going any place, why not get there, and proceeds accordingly. A card from J. W. Duckworth, dated Thursday, states that he and his wife have seen San Francisco, Oakland, Portland and Tacoma and were then at Seattle. They are enjoying the trip and report the weather fine. According to rumor some new faces will be seen in the political arena when next year's campaign for county officers bobs up again. Already one hears of the ambitions of an attorney of a neighboring town who would like to enter a broader field, and no doubt the northern end of the county will have other favorite sons in the race for coveted county prizes when the bell rings. Mrs. Wilhelmina Hemmerling died at her home west of town Friday evening at the age of 78. She was the wife of Godfreld Hemmerling, was born in Poland and came to this country many years ago. She leaves several children besides her husband. Funeral services were held at Backs & Terry's undertaking parlors Monday afternoon, Rev. Leuschner of the German Baptist church officiating. A number of men were talking of hard winds they had experienced, one evening recently, when Frank Schierlmann, who used to live in the cyclone belt in Kansas told of a "twister" that E. Putnam, the popcorn merchant, has been confined to his bed with illness for some days, and patrons of the New Grand have greatly missed him. Jack Burkhart, dryer foreman, at the sugar factory, has been suffering with strained eyes for the last few days, and looks quite distinguished in his horn-rimmed "hoot owl" glasses. Mike Lopez and Joe Garcia returned Thursday evening from a hunting expedition on Santa Clara creek. They killed three deer, one of them being a black-tailed nine-point buck. Mike is one of the most expert hunters in Anaheim, and never returns from an expedition empty handed. Jack Pickford, the motion picture man of Los Angeles, has filed suit against Raymond Holst of this city, for $650, the amount he claims his car was damaged in a collision with a truck driven by Holst. The accident occurred in the southern suburbs of Los Angeles just before daylight on Sunday, September 9. Pickford claims there were no lights on Holst's car. In addressing the board of trade at its recent meeting, regarding the merging of the two telephone companies, John Reuther, of the Anaheim Beef & Provision company, said that were the new tolls asked for to become effective, his company would be compelled to pay at least $500 per month for the use of the phones, whereas the company's monthly bill for the same service is only $100. Mr. Reuther looked upon the merger with decided disfavor. The asking of these new tolls from the various towns and sections of the county would work a financial hardship upon the local establishments and Mr. Reuther says in all fairness a more equitable adjust- A number of men were talking of hard winds they had experienced, one evening recently, when Frank Schierlmann, who used to live in the cyclone belt in Kansas told of a "twister" that he went through that had such force that when the wind had passed wheat straws were sticking in the barns and buildings and in a tree on his ranch, a straw had been blown completely through the tree, the straw sticking out on both sides. You win the money, "Slim." PHONOGRAPHS Honesty is the best policy, Every knock is a boost, Independent, not made by the trust Made here in Anaheim, On the square in every way, Looks good, sounds good, And is guaranteed by PECK PHONOGRAPH & MUSIC CO. 205 East Center Street, Anaheim Phone Pacific 400 OPEN EVENINGS Local Notes Miss Edna Mills has been engaged as one of the Olinda teachers for the coming term. Mr. and Mrs. Leslie Swope and Mrs. O. A. Mullinix have returned after spending two weeks at Camp Kern. L. B. Weber is at home again after a five weeks' trip through the northern cities. W. J. Elliott is at home again after spending a month in South Dakota looking after his farming interests. J. H. Whitaker left Saturday on a visit to his son, Loring at Visalia. The young man is one of the soldier boys, and is leaving for American Lake canyonment. Mrs. Harley Payne of Los Angeles visited in town a few days the past week at the home of her father, L. Nemetz. Deputy Marshal Phil Germann has returned from his ten days' vacation which he spent with his family at Newport Beach. Phil says he had a way-up time at the sea coast and says it's the only life—nothing to do but eat and go in swimming. Rev. C. R. Martin pastor of the M. E. church, accompanied by fifteen members of his flock, attended the Billy Sunday meeting at Los Angeles Saturday night. They state that comfortable seats within easy hearing distance were provided them and that the sermon and music were amply worth the discomforts of the trip. Eldon Stark was a Los Angeles visitor Saturday. Capt. J. B. Root writes from Fargo, N. D. that he is on the move all the time and moving rapidly. He is not certain when he will return home. James W. Gerard, former ambassador to Germany, is coming to Southern California and will make a number of speeches in this neighborhood. An effort will be made to get him at Santa Ana. A large number of Presbyterian Sunday school boys and girls went down to Long Beach Thursday and held a picnic on the sands. Some of those who attended were rather elderly boys and girls. Prof. S. C. Hartranft and W. M. Wickett were the chaperons. A baked fish dinner was one of the important items on the program. Oil experts representing several of the large oil producing companies in the Whittler and Fullerton fields visited those section a few days ago and were favorably impressed with the vastness of that oil territory. The experts have in view the production of gasoline, by absorption, from the crude product, a new scientific process. It is said a great future is in store for these local oil fields. Many farmers and horticulturists in this section look with favor upon the creation of the office of a farm advisory within this county. Were such an officer stationed here, an expert who knew what he was talking about, there is no doubt that farmers generally would be benefitted by his advice. The analysis of soil, and the adaptation thereto of plants best suited for A. G. Flagg and Bert Campbell, two printer plutocrats of the county seat, were in town on Tuesday morning and made a call at this office. Anaheim lodge, K. of P., conferred the page degree upon 36 applicants last night, the candidates being from Placentia, Brea, Fullerton, Norwalk, Orange, Tustin and Anaheim. Grand Chancellor Lanks and Gen. J. O. Royer were expected to be present. Refreshments were served at the close of the cremonies. E. N. Cook, the well known east-side rancher, was a business visitor in town Saturday. Mr. Cook stands for river protection at all times and when this topic is up for discussion at meetings of the board of trade, Mr. Cook, when present, always enters into the debate with avidity, and perhaps at times his references to some opponents carries a sting. But Mr. Cook is sincere in what he says and believes in calling a spade. B. A. Stoffel of 123 South Los Angeles street, has been appointed Goodyear agent for Anaheim. Barney now has a stock of the famous Goodyear fabric and cord tires on hand and all the necessary accessories to the automobile trade. The Goodyear service, as all autolists know, has no superior, consequently Barney is to be congratulated on securing the agency for this section. One of the social events of the season is a hard times ball which the Yeoman will give at their lodge room on Monday evening, September 24. All who take part are expected to be costumed to fit the occasion, and nobody will be permitted on the floor Rev. C. R. Martin pastor of the M.E. church, accompanied by fifteen members of his flock, attended the Billy Sunday meeting at Los Angeles Saturday night. They state that comfortable seats within easy hearing distance were provided them and that the sermon and music were amply worth the discomforts of the trip. A young lady who went over to Santa Ana to see the circus the other day came within an ace of missing the show. While viewing the parade a "dip" relieved her of a purse in which were contained all her change, the circus ticket and a powder rag. Being stranded friends came to the rescue and the show was witnessed after all. Ain't these pick-pockets the limit? It is said that as soon as the city begins to install the new Imhoff septic tank at the sewerage farm that an injunction will be filed against the city to prevent the addition being made. Recently an official from the state board of health visited the farm officially and said everything there was in good shape. In times past the state board of health has approved the equipment at the farm and have stated that the Anaheim plant would be a good one to pattern after by other cities. If the local sewerage farm is a nuisance, every sewerage farm in the state is a nuisance, say men who are competent judges of such things. Captain James Inerarity of Anaheim Landing and Robert Mills of Mills Island were in town a few days ago on a business mission. The Captain is past the allotted three-score and ten and is still hale and hearty and really is looking younger every day. In his earlier days Capt. Inerarity was engaged in deep sea navigation along the Atlantic coast and for a number of years piloted some of the largest vessels afloat. Frequently the captain takes nearby sea trips in his yacht, the "City of Anaheim," and is always glad to give his friends a jolly trip over the bounding billows. Mr. Mills is devoting his attention to the propagation of oysters which are pronounced to be highly delicious in flavor. Competent engineers say there is no law of gravitation which should have many farmers and horticulturists in this section look with favor upon the creation of the office of a farm advisory within this county. Were such an officer stationed here, an expert who knew what he was talking about, there is no doubt that farmers generally would be benefitted by his advice. The analysis of soil, and the adaptation thereto of plants best suited for successful propogation, are important features of good farming, and the instructions given to tillers of the soil in this regard would be of inestimable value to them. In some sections the destruction of crops by the visitation of some winged pest are often chronicled, and the best method to pursue to combat these plagues would also be of profit to the agriculturist. Many ranchers in this section look kindly upon the farm adviser proposition, while there are others who believe the county horticultural commissioner should attend to all these things. Recently the police have been rounding up autolists who violate the ordinances in regard to parking their machines and driving without lights, and not a few of them have been before the recorder who has been compelled to impose fines upon all infractors. In many cases where an officer finds a car out of position, he tags the vehicle, upon which a notice appears for the offender to show up in court. Last week a well known gentleman, who has resided in Placentia all his life, and who owns considerable income property in this city, and who has been instrumental in large part in building up the northern end of the county, and who never upon any occasion whatsoever has been arrested, through thoughtlessness left his car in a position which an officer classed as a violation of the ordinance, and the owner was hailed into court and fined. Of course this particular arrest was regretful, and while it was not the small fine imposed that offended, the gentleman feels chagrinned at the thought of having been arrested. Last Thursday afternoon at 1 o'clock, while City Clerk Merritt was up to his eyes in clerical work, getting ready for the evening session of the councilmen, a deputy sheriff entered the hall and tapping the genial clerk upon the shoulder said: "I want you." One of the social events of the season is a hard times ball which the Yeoman will give at their lodge room on Monday evening, September 24. All who take part are expected to be costumed to fit the occasion, and nobody will be permitted on the floor until after 10:30 unless so dressed. Prizes will be given for the best representative costumes. Good music will be furnished and all who attend will be insured an enjoyable time. Many owners of automobiles have contributed to the city exchequer during the past few weeks for failure to observe the provisions of the ordinance relative to parking machines and driving without lights. Members of the police force have tagged cars wherever found in violation of the ordinance. One gentleman of the eastside, whose lights were out, stepped up to the captain's office smilingly and deposited his five spot, but regretted just one thing. Asked as to what that was, he replied that if he was an officer he would have arrested a darn sight more than had been caught. Marshal Kellenberger has had downtown street pavements checked off with white paint, showing how machines should be parked along the sidewalks. At the intersection of Center and Los Angeles two parallel white lines have been drawn dividing the intersection into a square. Between these two outer lines, extending from each of the four corners, pedestrians are supposed to pass in crossing the streets. The intention is to stop people from crossing these streets, diagonally, which when traffic is heavy is more or less dangerous. The speed limit for autos at these corners is 10 miles, but some cars are driven past there at twice that speed. Hereafter this law will be rigidly enforced and speeders may expect to be heavily fined when arrested. It is said that one and perhaps two stores in this city will remove elsewhere, not being able to successfully compete with a large establishment recently located here. All these of Center les and L e new s s s s s s s s s s s s s s s s s s s s s s s s s s s s s s s s s s s s s s s s s s s s s s s s s s s s s s s s s s s s s s s s s s s s s Several er day sa t oad looose colored ja n in one o de endeavours his bare on the color unseen me time gave could be harmless while it lea st three excited ac could thr agt trated tha say they use a goop. The W Mrs. J. C an an interest years piloted some of the largest vessels afloat. Frequently the captain takes nearby sea trips in his yacht, the "City of Anaheim," and is always glad to give his friends a jolly trip over the bounding billows. Mr. Mills is devoting his attention to the propagation of oysters which are pronounced to be highly delicious in flavor. Competent engineers say there is no law of gravitation which should have prevented the entire stream running in the river a year and a half ago from taking a course due west from the bend in the river, near the Santa Fe bridge, and why the bulk of the stream was kept in its present channel is a mystery. The small earthen bank at the bend had been washed away, which in times past turned the stream to the south. As it was a large volume of storm water passed north of town. The river bed in its present condition is a menace, because the stream is liable to go anywhere, with the chances greatly in favor of cutting a new channel north of town, should the rains again descend in unusually heavy quantities. From the old Yorba bridge to the old sand-wash line north of town is almost a straight line, and any quantity of water rushing down the Santa Ana river naturally would take the straight course, rather than making the turn at the bend, since the earthen bank there, which in years past turned the stream, has been entirely washed away. The police gathered in nine hombres Saturday night charged with intoxication, a number of whom securing too much vino tinto in anticipation of their independence day on September 16. Judge Howard on Monday morning disposed of the cases with neatness and dispatch, some paying fines, while others drew jail sentences. Last Thursday afternoon at 1 o'clock, while City Clerk Merritt was up to his eyes in clerical work, getting ready for the evening session of the councilmen, a deputy sheriff entered the hall and tapping the genial clerk upon the shoulder said: "I want you." The clerk looked up in amazement, feeling sure he had committed no wrong and demanded an explanation. "Oh, I only want you as a witness," replied the minion of the law, and served the papers asking the clerk to hot foot with the city records over to the superior court, where Attorney Tom McFadden was endeavoring to free Leo Kelvin from the charge of damaging the city jail. The prosecution wanted the clerk and the records to show that the jail was a jail, but there was nothing on record to substantiate that contention. After a close inspection of the minute book, away back in 1904, the clerk was unable to find a line where the trustees had "accepted" the premises as a prison, although the bastile has been used for lo, these many years as a temporary abode for the violous and weary. City Clerk Merritt returned late in the evening, and had to hustle to get things into shape for the city dads, but being a Christian gentleman refrained from expressing his opinion aloud, and is now wondering if Anaheim owns a jail. Dr. M. M. Henderson, Dentist, Suite 1, Mullinix Bldg., Anaheim. With fancy bonded goods 15 cents straight, and the size of the scoop being gradually reduced, many of the boys are thinking of hitting the sawdust trail. It is said that one and perhaps two stores in this city will remove elsewhere, not being able to successfully compete with a large establishment recently located here. Miss Ceola Andrade, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Marcus Andrade of this city, and Howard Flynn of Olinda, were married at the home of the bride Saturday morning, Rev. Father Gallagher of Fullerton officiating. After a short honeymoon trip the newlyweds will make their home at Olinda. John Schumacher has sold his soda water works to John Luers, and the same will be removed to the new owners establishment on South Philadelphia street. Several other witnesses from this city were called to give testimony, including Marshal Kellenberger, Deputy Germann, Oliver Hill, Jim McCarter and C. J. Mauerhan. Going fifty miles an hour, or thereabouts, a motorcycle upon which Ed Willett and his brother of Tustin were riding struck a railroad track, bounced into the air and machine and riders came to a stop in the soft dirt of an orange orchard. Had the dirt been hard the tale would have been different. This accident happened near this city. Mrs. J. K. Brown entertained at her home on West Broadway Thursday in honor of Miss Nellie Look. Lunch-even was served at 12 o'clock and before the guests departed in the evening ice cream and cake were served by the hostess. Thursday, Friday, Saturday ANNUAL BLANKET DAYS By far the season's most important Blanket Selling Event. For particulars as to prices see large window display. Falkenstein's DEPARTMENT STORE All the buildings on the north side of Center street, between Los Angeles and Lemon, have been set back to the new sidewalk line. The new building of Dr. Houck's now being in course of construction. On the opposite side of the street only five or six frontages remain on the old line, and two of these are slated for early removal. In each case where these buildings have been set back and otherwise improved more rent is being asked and it seems to be a good investment upon the part of the owners. Rents in that block are correspondingly high compared to other sections of the business district. One firm which formerly paid $65, with the new improvement now pays $90. The same ratio applies to others. Mr. Dreyfus has in contemplation the reconstruction of part of his building on the corner of center and Los Angeles streets, giving the present tenants more floor space. Several frolicsome barbers the other day said someone turned a horned toad loose under the trouser leg of the colored janitor boy as he lay asleep in one of the shiner's chairs, and in its endeavors to escape the toad ran up his bare limb. Suddenly awakening the colored lad made a grab for the unseen moving object, and at the same time gave a yell which it was said could be heard for four blocks. The harmless toad was finally released, while it is said the victim turned at least three shades whiter. He was excited and then some, and said he could thrash the fellow who perpetrated the joke. The tonsorial artists say they are afraid that some one will use a gopher snake next time. The W. C. T. U. met at the home of Mrs. J. C. Craft Wednesday afternoon, an interesting program being rendered. Attorney T. L. McFadden had the lawyers and court house attaches sitting up and taking notice during his argument the other day when he moved for a dismissal of the felony charge preferred against Leo Kelvin, charged with damaging the city jail while incarcerated therein last June. Attorney McFadden contended that since the city trustees never, by resolution, accepted the jail premises as a prison, in the eyes of the law the jail did not exist officially. According to the statutes, the contention of Mr. McFadden is correct. It is said that in the history of the state this point of law has never been brought out, and upon that point the felony charge against the prisoner was dismissed. The case is of local interest, and if this city has no jail people are wondering what the next move will be to give the jail judicial recognition. Orders have been received by the local boards that drafted men are not given the privilege of designating the training camp to which they are to be sent. In the case of transfers, permission may be given the transfer to be sent to the training camp to which men from the district he may be in are sent, but he cannot be assigned to the camp of his own choice.
