WHIRLWIND FINISH FOR RIVER PROTECTION PATRIOTIC DEMONSTRATION TO BE HELD FOR LIBERTY BOYS LEAVING OCTOBER 3 HARBOR ADVOCATES MAKE ADDRESSES BEFORE BOARD OF TRADE Messrs. Armitage, Bisby and Greeley attended the board of trade meeting Monday evening, speaking of the feasibility of Newport bay as a harbor site. A motion was unanimously carried that the harbor commissioners present their report to the board of supervisors at once. The report would then come before the people for discussion. It would then be approved or rejected. It is said that the supervisors are waiting for an expression of the people upon this matter before calling an election for the bond issue, which it is said would be about half a million dollars. Should the report of the commissioners be sent in now it would be at least four months before an election could be called, if at all. Advocates of the harbor say within this district would regret it. Fair warning has been given them. Garden Grove people who have perfected their district, are waiting to see what this district is going to do tomorrow before they expend any more money for their protection. To allow the five mile strip along the west bank to remain unprotected as it is, is a direct menace to the entire valley. Men here have taken the bit in their teeth and intend to see that the trustees who favor the district are elected. MARINE STUDENTS WRECK A GREEK RESTURANT Foster Chambers Tells How the Enemy was Handled at Vallejo In a letter written to Posmaster J. F. Ahlborn Foster Chambers, who volunteered in the service and is now at Mare Island, gives an interesting account of life there. He says: Dear Mr. Ahlborn:— It has been a long time since I wrote you last, but if you could only see how busy I have been, you will forgive me. I am now on my 17th week of instruction and have only ten more to do before receiving my rating. We have 27 weeks in all and into that time, have to crowd about two years. But it is interesting and always something new, so that it is not so bad. Since I wrote you last, we have moved into three large barracks, which by then come before the people for discussion. It would then be approved or rejected. It is said that the supervisors are waiting for an expression of the people upon this matter before calling an election for the bond issue, which it is said would be about half a million dollars. Should the report of the commissioners be sent in now it would be at least four months before an election could be called, if at all. Advocates of the harbor say that the saving of freight rates alone would in time pay for the enterprise. Mr. Bisby said this harbor proposition was a good deal like a man buying a horse and then not getting the horse. The people of Orange county are paying excessive freight rates in order that their goods may be brought into the county. If that excess money was expended for building the local harbor it would permit these same goods to come in through Newport and we would then have the harbor besides. The speakers said the increment to business interests throughout the county, by the establishment of the harbor, would be of untold value to every town and hamlet within the county. The topic is a live issue and from now on in all probability much will be said for and against the proposition. The Anaheim board of trade has taken the lead and it is proposed to give the Liberty soldiers a rousing sendoff October 3, when the next contingent will leave for American Lake. On Monday, October 1st, a patriotic demonstration will be held in this city and everyone of the Liberty boys will be invited to attend. A grand banquet will be prepared and the boys will be sent away with the feeling that the citizens of Anaheim and surrounding country stand back of them. F. Grant White made a stirring appeal to everyone in this city to get out upon this occasion and show their patriotism. The speaker wanted to go on record as being heartily in favor of making this event one that would speak to the world in eloquent terms as an expression of our sincere loyalty to the nation. There must be no half hearted sentiment anywhere. Mr. White said it is the duty of every citizen to stand up with head erect and show his patriotism. Henry M. Adams, F. C. Krause and F. Grant White were appointed by President Backs of the board to take the matter in charge and prepare a rousing send-off for the Liberty you last, but if you could only see how busy I have been, you will forgive me. I am now on my 17th week of instruction and have only ten more to do before receiving my rating. We have 27 weeks in all and into that time, have to crowd about two years. But it is interesting and always something new, so that it is not so bad. Since I wrote you last, we have moved into three large barracks, which by now are clear full with electricians and more are coming every day. So you see I am no longer a rookie. Six Anaheim boys are now on Mare Island and every one of us, are getting fat and tanned. We all seem to like the navy life immensely. Percy Swope is here in the yard dispensary, Dick Rasmussen with the seaman encampment, Charlie McAuley, Scott Coffman, Don Urghart and myself in the electrical branch. Some representation. The food here as I have told you before remains the best ever and we sure do justice to every meal. Instead of hammocks, we have laid aside, we are using folding cots, but as soon as we get on board a ship we will have hammocks again. Every Monday P. M. we drill for about two hours in infantry drills and have a drum corps to march by. I am playing a snare drum in the above corps. Last night we had a little excitement in Vallejo. A Greek who owns a restaurant over there, has been making remarks, very strongly against any enlisted man and the United States in general so we made him put up four American flags. But he kept his talk up and last night refused to serve to a couple of sailors and a marine, so in about ten minutes time fully five thousand marines and sailors were gathered there from all over town and proceeded to wreck it right. Exerything was broken and small chance of the restaurant ever opening again. As a rule the enlisted men are a cool headed crowd, but a thing like that, couldn't be treated otherwise. I suppose Anaheim is growing about the same, but this war has taken quite a few out of town and the draft will take even more. Do you know what ship Robert Gregg is on? I would like to find out, for in case the ship happens in here, or I meet it anytime in my cruise I would look him up. Ever since the diving cut its way tains to the sea the course has been reliable. Periodical banks and inundate country.

This is indis knows it. It will o build a protection and the river, and ple in the danger ing the proposition. Only eighteen men an overflow that d speak to the world in eloquent terms as an expression of our sincere loyalty to the nation. There must be no half hearted sentiment anywhere. Mr. White said it is the duty of every citizen to stand up with head erect and show his patriotism. Henry M. Adams, F. C. Krause and F. Grant White were appointed by President Backs of the board to take the matter in charge and prepare a rousing send-off for the Liberty boys. It is proposed to give each man leaving a token or remembrance, using an insignia for the purpose. At the suggestion of Henry Adams it was ordered that the names of all the boys, with their addresses as far as obtainable, be placed in a panel and put on display in the postoffice. A committee consisting of Capt. J. F. Ahlborn, Fred Gresswell and J. H. Whitaker will attend to the compilation of the roster. R. J. Scott of Yorba, G. F. Collins of Richfield, E. N Cook of East Anaheim, F. Grant White of Placentia avenue, Charles Eygabroad of this city and others made splendid addresses favoring river protection. For the past several days committees have been actively at work preparing for the election of trustees on Friday. The matter is a serious one and why people are opposing the plan proposed to give them protection is inexplicable. Mr. Scott who has made a careful study of the situation said with all sincerity that unless the people in this vicinity took care of the river, the river would take care of them. As frequently stated in these columns, there is nothing to prevent flood waters cutting a new channel north of town. Should that occur people County Sealer of Weights and Measures, George McPhee was in town on business Monday. Mr. McPhee recently received a letter from H. P. Jayne, county sealer of Fresno county, asking information about the bread situation here. Jayne stated that 12 ounce loaves of bread sold in Fresno for 10 cents and 22 to 24 ounce loaves brought 15 cents. McPhee replied to the letter by sending Jayne a copy of the Orange county bread ordinance. He also expressed him a loaf of Orange county bread which sells at 10 cents for a 24 ounce loaf. Furthermore he sent him a copy of the Anaheim Gazette containing McPhee's figures showing the profit bakers make on their bread. Jayne ought to be convinced from these exhibits that Fresno people are being held up. As a rule the enlisted men are a cool headed crowd, but a thing like that, couldn't be treated otherwise. I suppose Anaheim is growing about the same, but this war has taken quite a few out of town and the draft will take even more. Do you know what ship Robert Gregg is on? I would like to find out, for in case the ship happens in here, or I meet it anytime in my cruise I would look him up. I expect to get a furlough around Thanksgiving or Christmas and will be glad to land in Anaheim again, even if only for a short time. Well Mr. Ahlborn I must close now and get down to studying dynamos and controls, so as ever, Yours very truly, FOSTER E. CHAMBERS, Electrical School, Mare Island, Calif.

Ever since the days when the first rivulet cut its way from the mountains to the sea the Santa Ana river's course has been changeable and unreliable. Periodically it overflows its banks and inundates the surrounding country. According to the aborigines it did it before the white man came, according to the oldest inhabitant it to us to show the people that land worth from one thousand to five thousand dollars per acre can no longer be jeopardized when it costs only $7.00 per acre to remove the menace. Opponents of the district in the west end are objecting because it is too small, and certain parties have been left out who should be in. It is probably true that eliminated properties in the west should be included in the boundaries, but that is no excuse for people within the danger zone refusing to protect themselves. The boundary line of the proposed district on the north is the Orangethorpe-Fullerton protection district, on the south it is the Garden Grove protection district, on the east it is the Santa Ana river, and on the west it is the city of Stanton. We believe that Stanton and property in that vicinity should be included within the boundaries of the district, but the people protested and the supervisors let them out. The committee had no voice in the matter. The polling places tomorrow will be: Precinct No. 1 at Commonwealth school house; No. 2, at Joseph Fiscus' garage, South Los Angeles street; No. 3, at the Anaheim City Hall; No. 4, at Fremont school; No. 5, at the High School; No. 6 at the Grammar school; No. 7, at Fullerton City Water Work on North Palm street. The candidates for trustees who will be voted for are as follows. Favorable to the district, Charles Eygabroad, H. L. McClellan and G. F. Collins. Against the district, Archie Henry, Joseph Fiscus and W. G. Mason. If you want protection, if you want to guard yourself against BOND ELECTION WILL BE HELD TUESDAY CITIZENS TO VOTE ON THE CIVIC CENTER AND CITY PARK PROPOSITION DON'T BURDEN YOURSELF WITH UNNECESSARY DEBT IN THE STRENUOUS TIMES OF WAR Voters of Anaheim will decide on Tuesday, October 2, whether or not they consent to saddle upon the municipality a bonded debt of $100,000 for the purpose of establishing a city park and the construction of a civic center. There is much uncertainty in the minds of the people as to the outcome of the vote, but taxpayers generally who are looking into the future and wondering what demands for money may be made upon the people, are loath to burden themselves with an unnecessary debt. The nation is at war with an enemy who must be defeated no matter what the sacrifice in men and money. The government recently floated a two billion dollar bond issue and is making preparations to offer more bonds to whether they will put their trust in Providence and take chances on the stream being less erratic in its future actions than it has been in the past. Ever since the days when the first rivulet cut its way from the mountains to the sea the Santa Ana river's course has been changeable and unreliable. Periodically it overflows its banks and inundates the surrounding country. According to the aborigines it did it before the white man came, according to the oldest inhabitant it has done it regularly since his arrival, and no man can dispute the statement that it will do it again. H. Clay Kelogg, who is better acquainted with the topography of Orange county than any other living man, has made the statement that the river has changed its course through this county thirteen times, and that nearly every acre of arable land in the county has been made by it. There is nothing to prevent its changing its course again unless the people awaken to the danger, curb it and confine it to its present channel. The bed of the river has gradually filled up with sand and silt from the mountains, and it is now more than fifty feet higher than the level of Anaheim. There is no bank on this side of the river to protect us from an overflow. The water makes its way down the sand bed which is supposed to be the channel, sinking to a depth of thirteen feet. The time will come when this shallow channel cannot carry off the vast volume of water seeking an outlet from the mountains to the ocean and it will overflow and inundate this entire region. It has done it before when the bed of the river was lower than it is now, and it will certainly do it agglain unless we harness it. According to tradition and authentic history there have been two or three great floods here, the town and its surrounding country being inundated to a depth of several feet. Of course little material damage was done by these overflows because the land was of little value, but should such a flood occur now the property loss would aggregate millions of dollars. This is indisputable—everybody knows it. It will only cost us $90,000 to build a protecting wall between us and the river, and yet there are people in the danger zone who are fighting the proposition. Only eighteen months ago we had an overflow that damaged property to the amount of hundreds of thousands garage, South Los Angeles street; No. 3, at the Anaheim City Hall; No. 4, at Fremont school; No. 5, at the High School; No. 6 at the Grammar school; No. 7, at Fullerton City Water Work on North Palm street. The candidates for trustees who will be voted for are as follows. Favorable to the district, Charles Eygabroad, H. L. McClellan and G. F. Collins. Against the district, Archie Henry, Joseph Fiscus and W. G. Mason. If you want protection, if you want to guard yourself against nightmare, uneasiness and loss of sleep when the rains descend and the floods come, vote for the first three. They will give you protection, but the others are pledged to leave you naked to the ravages of the river. The competent engineers who have charge of the proposition state that the work in contemplation is adequate and will give ample protection. It will cost you only $7 per acre and you will have two years in which to pay it. The county proposition, which a number of people advocate, has no objectionable features except that it will require five years to consummate it. You cannot afford to take a five-year chance. Vote for the trustees who will give you protection. MILITARY TRAINING IN ANAHEIM HIGH SCHOOL Boys Want to Don the Khaki and Drill For Soldiers Male students of Anaheim high school have voted almost unanimously for military training in preference to physical culture so khaki clad youths will be promiscuous in the near future. The Anaheim school board voted last May to have military training this fall and since the state board of education has provided that all students who do not take military training must have physical culture, the majority of the boys, numbering about 125, voted for the khaki uniforms. Principal Prince announces that the uniforms will be purchased in the lowest markets, quality being considered, students then being given benefit of wholesale prices. It has not yet been determined what kind of uniform will be required, the prices ranging from $8 to $20. It is thought the student should have leggings, khaki or woolen trousers, cotton or woolen shirt, hat and, in case of cotton shirt, a coat. An outfit with a mind of people as to the outcome of the vote, but taxpayers generally who are looking into the future and wondering what demands for money may be made upon the people, are loath to burden themselves with an unnecessary debt. The nation is at war with an enemy who must be defeated no matter what the sacrifice in men and money. The government recently floated a two billion dollar bond issue and is making preparations to offer more bonds to the public within a month. Congress has authorized an expenditure of more than 20 billions of dollars for the first year of the war, and no man can estimate what demands will be made in future years. Based upon its assessed valuation Anaheim's share of this first year's war claims will be in the neighborhood of $250,000, and we are expected, as a city loyal to the government, to pay it and stand ready to pay our quota of the nation's expenditures for the following year if we are called upon to do so. No one will deny the arguments of the proponents of a civic center and a city park. They would be nice things to have but they will cost money and we are not in a position to burden ourselves with an unnecessary debt at the present time. If we do next generation of men will have the greater part of it to pay, and as they will also be compelled to pay the stupendous war debt they will no doubt wonder at the short-sightedness of their fathers in saddling this unnecessary expense upon them. A civic center would be a nice thing to have, a city park would be a pleasant thing to have, but we can jog along for awhile without them. People at war with a powerful enemy must be content with necessities and leave luxuries for peaceful and more prosperous days. A new city hall is one of our necessities. The old building has been condemned as unsafe. We are housing our city government in a building that was condemned by experts two years ago, and which may possibly collapse in a Santa Ana wind some day. Moreover it is inadequate for the demands of the present city as it was built a quarter of a century ago, and it is inconvenient for the people who are compelled to transact business with the officials. The city trustees are now in a position to erect a beautiful city hall costing $30,000 without an extra dollar of taxation and without a bond issue.

This is indisputable—everybody knows it. It will only cost us $90,000 to build a protecting wall between us and the river, and yet there are people in the danger zone who are fighting the proposition. Only eighteen months ago we had an overflow that damaged property to the amount of hundreds of thousands of dollars, but it was insignificant compared to what happened in previous years, according to reports, although property damage was not so great because the valuations were less. The river threatened to cut a new channel below the Olive bridge and wipe Garden Grove off the map, but the people of that town got busy and plugged up the gap. Then it started to cut through at North street and go down its ancient channel, the sandwash, taking the sugar factory and the Anaheim Beef & Provision packing house in its course, but heroic work of scores of men stopped the gap. If the rain had continued in the mountains twenty-four hours longer and the volume of water in the river had increased, nothing could have prevented its cutting a new channel at one of these places and seeking a new route to the ocean. Orange county, particularly Anaheim acquired a reputation throughout the United States eighteen months ago of being at the mercy of the Santa Ana river and subject to disastrous inundations. This is the story told by several Anaheimers who have since been in the east. It is having its effect on land values here, and it is up Principal Prince announces that the uniforms will be purchased in the lowest markets, quality being considered, students then being given benefit of wholesale prices. It has not yet been determined what kind of uniform will be required, the prices ranging from $8 to $20. It is thought the student should have leggings, khaki or woolen trousers, cotton or woolen shirt, hat and, in case of cotton shirt, a coat. An outfit would probably reach $20, while with khaki pants and shirt without coat, the cost would be only about $8. Principal Prince thinks the student should at least have a woolen shirt, considering that most practical. ANTIS HOLD MEETING Opponents of the Anaheim-Yorba storm water district met at Knights of Columbus hall Tuesday evening and listened to a speech delivered by Assemblyman Baker of Los Angeles. Mr. Baker is author of the law authorizing Los Angeles county to vote four and a half million dollars for river protection. He told of the devastation wrought by the flood waters in his county eighteen months ago, and outlined the work contemplated to control the San Gabriel and Los Angeles rivers. About fifty people were present and heard Mr. Baker. This was the last charge of the antis against the protection forces. Tomorrow the people of the district will decide by their votes whether they will do something for their own protection or whether they will attempt to avert disaster in the future by asking the Lord to withhold the rains. The city trustees are now in a position to erect a beautiful city hall costing $30,000 without an extra dollar of taxation and without a bond issue. They have the money in hand, but if the civic center proposition carries this money may be added to the hundred thousand dollars raised by the bond issue. If the bond issue is defeated next Tuesday work will begin immediately on the new structure which will be built at the corner if South Claudina and Center streets. In a short time Anaheim will have one of the most beautiful municipal buildings in the Southland and it won't cost you a cent in the future, as the money is already accumulated to pay for it. Furthermore attorneys for the Helmsen estate have instructions to begin suit to recover the principal portion of the site on which the present city hall now stands if an attempt is made to move it, as the ground was donated by Mr. Helmsen with the stipulation that it should be used exclusively as a site for a city hall. Don't be mislead, gentle reader, into voting an unnecessary bonded indebtedness upon yourself. A civic center and a city park are nice things to dream of, but if they are constructed they must be paid for, and you are going to be overburdened with other obligations during the coming years.

S. Destroyer Paul Jones. Miss Ward is the daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Gerald Ward of Mazatlan, Mexico, and for some years past has resided in Los Angeles, where she attended and graduated from Manual Arts high school. Mrs. Ward has come up from Mazatlan to attend the wedding which will be celebrated at the Episcopal church at Monrovia. Miss Ward is a charming and accomplished young lady, and has many friends in this section who extend to her felicitations upon her coming marriage. The newly wedded couple will reside in San Diego.

Eighty-two young men were listed to go from this district of Orange county but at the last moment six men, whose claims for exemption had not yet been acted upon, were notified that they need not go, and two slackers who failed to show up, cut the total to 76. Henry N. Duarret, one of the seven men whose exemption claims were still pending refused to retreat, however. He had made provision for the care of his family, had set his house in order, and was determined FARM BUREAU WILL BE ORGANIZED HERE Meeting to be Held in Anaheim to Form Society Roy K. Bishop, county horticulturist and W. L. Grubb, formerly city trustee of Santa Ana, were in town Friday arranging for a meeting of citizens to organize a farm bureau. It is hoped to organize a bureau with six hundred members, and this society will petition the supervisors for the appointment of a farm adviser. It is expected to establish a branch of the farm bureau in Anaheim. A meeting will be held here in a short time at which all people interested are invited to be present. The object of the organization will be to furnish scientific information to the agriculturists and teach them how to get the best results from their labor. Also to bring into cultivation much land in Orange county now producing nothing and thus help increase the food supply. There should be a large attendance at this meeting, as the subject is one of supreme interest just now. ELKS HELP HOOVER In response to Herbert Hoover's recommendation that the people of the United States make small sacrifices in order to help feed our allies in the war, the Anaheim Elks are all signing the following pledge. Each individual Elk receives a return postal card with the pledge printed on it, signs it and mails it to M. C. Goff, the secretary, who files it among the archives of the order. The pledge is as follows: "Inspired by patriotic impulses and with a desire to be of some service to my country, I hereby pledge myself to observe the following rules in my home during the period of the war, as suggested by the Grand Exhalted Ruler of the Benevolent and Protective Order of Elks: "a. That one meal each day shall be served without wheat food. "b. That one meal each day shall be served without meats. "c. That no butter shall be used for cooking purposes when a satisfactory substitute is available. "d. That bread shall be sliced during each meal only as required for immediate consumption. "e. That at three meals each week at least one dish shall be served pre-" Out of the eighty-two certified by the local board to go there were only two slackers. There were Porfirio and Aurelio Gaxiola, brothers, who, it is said, have fled to Mexico. Both passed the physical examination and neither had dependent claims for exemption. Porfifo left a month ago, and it was claimed that he had gone to Mexico on business. Aurelio disappeared shortly before the date fixed for leaving for Camp Lewis, and it is presumed he has joined his brother. It is reported they have gone to Mazatlan. Aurelio, better known as "Jack," was for many years clerk in the Petermann grocery store. Federal officers are on their trail and will undoubtedly locate them. Probably they cannot be returned from Mexico, but if they ever again set foot on soil... "a. That one meal each day shall be served without wheat food. b. That one meal each day shall be served without meats. c. That no butter shall be used for cooking purposes when a satisfactory substitute is available. d. That bread shall be sliced during each meal only as required for immediate consumption. e. That at three meals each week at least one dish shall be served prepared from food unconsumed at previous meals." MUSICIAN LOCATES HERE Thomas Askin, the noted baritone, has decided to locate in Anaheim. The singer reached this decision after spending the last two months with his brother who manages the ranch on Placentia avenue, recently acquired from C. F. Mohnike. Mr. Askin has been located in Los Angeles for the last two years, having his studio at Blanchard Hall in that city, and for the past year he has been director of music and soloist at the First Congregational church of Pasadena. Mr. Askin comes to Anaheim with recommendations of the highest order, for his concert work has received flattering notices wherever he has appeared. On the evening of Thursday, October 4th, at the Presbyterian church at 8:30 o'clock Mr. Askin, assisted by his concert accompanist, Clara Louise Newcomb will give a complimentary recital, to which all lovers of music are invited. Mr. Askin will continue his studio in Los Angeles on Wednesday and Saturday, devoting the remainder of the week to Anaheim."
