Reeves, W. J. Heger, Ford, B. F. Boyle, Fullerton. Dodge roadster, J. H. Cook. Aurelio Daniels, one of the boys who left with the second contingent for Camp Lewis, has been made a cook. All the boys who write home brag about the chow Uncle Sam is giving them, consequently Aurelio must be an expert. During the recent discussion of river protection, opponents frequently said that damage suits would result from any attempt to build dikes in order that water may be kept in its channel, provided the water broke out and flooded someone. Charles Eygabroad offered to place $1000 in bank, and the same to be given to charity, if one instance could be cited where any protection district ever had been so involved, or where damages had ever been received from a protection district, from the fact of its endeavors to keep flood waters within their natural channels. No such case has been mentioned. To divert flood waters from their channels is another matter entirely.

Tiellotson came down from Waittler last week on a visit to Mr. and Mrs. Ed Putnam. J. B. Neff, who was recently appointed a member of the Federal Food commission, left for San Francisco yesterday evening to attend a session of that board. The object of the meeting is to consider means of increasing food production. N. E. Bailey of Prescott, Ariz., Dr. L. C. Bailey and his son Worth, of Berkeley, and Lee Carper of Mazatlan, were in town the first of the week on their way to San Diego. They returned the following day and proceeded to their homes. Leander J. Stark who was to have accompanied the Orange county boys to Camp Lewis yesterday, has been placed in the medical reserve, and he will be called as his services are required. Leander is attending medical college in Los Angeles and will later go to the front as physician in the hospital corps. H. G. Ames returned Friday evening from Santa Rosa where he attended the annual meeting of the League of Municipalities. The session was a profitable one for all, and the large number of city officials throughout the state who attended report much good having been accomplished. Matters pertaining to civic governments are discussed and many subjects of interest are dwelt upon by gentlemen who are recognized as authorities. The Business Women's Bible class has elected the following officers for the new year. President, Miss Eleonora Parker; first vice president, Miss Alverda Pontius; second vice president, Miss Louise Olin; secretary, Miss Alice Pannier; treasurer, Miss Alice Robinson; leaders of Bible study, Mmes. R. Zerbuchen, H. A. Johnston, and Miss Bella J. Walker. This class has been very active in raising money to purchase testaments for the soldiers. An enthusiastic meeting was held at the Board of Trade rooms last night in the interest of the Armenian-Syrian Relief. A large civic committee was formed to undertake what is the largest purely philanthropic work before the world today. Saving two million starving human beings, mainly women and children, is the object of this great relief work on which Ex-President Taft, Hon. Chas. E. Hughes, Cardinal Gibbons, Ex-President Elliot of Harvard, and other great men of the country are engaged. A. Nagel, J. H. Whitaker, F. A. Backs, C. R. Prince and M. E. Beebe constitute an executive committee in Anaheim. Mr. Nagel is chairman, Mr. Whitaker secretary and Mr. Holcomb of the First National Bank treasurer.

A new floor is being put in modeled into a store derstood the room leased. Dr. M. M. Henderson 1, Mullinix Bldg., A LOCAL NOTES John Brunworth has disposed of his acreage on East street to Ben Dauser, the former assuming the Broadway street residence property of the latter as part payment. Dr. E. W. Hauck, principal of the Fullerton high school, has purchased a home in that city, at the corner of Pomona and Commonwealth avenues. H. W. Daniels was the former owner. Word has reached here that Aurelio Daniels has been assigned as cook at Camp Lewis. "Dan" is rated as a top notcher in the culinary art, and the Liberty Boys are now all assured of good feeds. C. W. Pendleton, Southern Pacific agent for a number of years past, has been appointed agent for the company at Pasadena. This is a big forward step for Charlie, and his numerous friends will rejoice over his advancement, although they will regret to see he and his family leave Anaheim. A complaint has been sworn to by G. T. Ingram, who charges Mr. and Mrs. Jesse Brown with embezzlement of a Ford auto. The Ford was sold to the defendants by Ingram on a lease contract, and he states that the Browns, who live at Brea, paid $50, and then skipped out. Anaheim encampment, I. O. O. F., has elected as delegates to the grand encampment at Bakersfield, Oct. 2-7, F. S. Gates of Anaheim, and Perry Woodward and C. C. Shalley of Fullerton, all past grand patriarchs.

Finley of Santa Ana has resigned as city engineer of Seal Beach. His successor has not yet been appointed. Irving R. Gates has enlisted with the sanitary department of the army and is now with the 160th regiment at Camp Kearney. This is the regiment his brother, Sergeant Howard E. Gates belongs to. With 70 people on the pay roll and more than 12 tons of tomatoes coming onto the loading platform every day, the Placentia cannery is certainly doing its bit in keeping things moving. The plant is on yet running at full capacity, and will probably have 100 workers busy before the season is over. Uncle George Hatfield went into a store the other evening and asked for a small piece of cheese—about a quarter's worth, he said. After the parcel was handed him he "hefted" it and said the clerk obeyed orders—gave him a small piece. George said it would make one good sandwich, and that he'd have to work better than an hour to get the price. Things are high. The city marshal reports that the backyard scenes in rear of some of the stores in this city are not in accord with their front appearances. On a recent tour of inspection that official was greatly surprised to say not alarmed at the conditions as he found them. The accumulation of boxes and paper formed an admirable firetrap, and store keepers are warned to clean up their back yards. A fire insurance inspector was in town recently and after making his rounds returned to his The superior court has granted an order admitting the will of Frank H. Fox to probate. Anna L. Fox has been appointed executrix of the estate. V. W. LaMont, Tommy Hedges and Stroup returned from Bear Lake on Tuesday after enjoying a three-day fishing excursion. Each man brought back the limit, and they declare fish are plentiful in the lakes. About twenty five members of the local lodge of Elks motored to Pasadena Tuesday night and attended the lodge. The Grand Exalted Ruler and Grand Secretary were the guests of honor at the meeting. Raymond Nebelung has been crippled up the last few days by a bad inflammation of the back, but will be able to be about again in a short time. He strained his back while engaged in threshing beans. Reports about waste of food in the fashionable hotels of the big cities are enough to cause a plous man to swear. It is said many short courses are served and only a few eaten. Whether they reappear in the comeback is not known, but it would not be out of place to have this food wastage stopped. Things are high, and going higher. Clyde Webb who is with the sanitary corps at Linda Vista writes to friends in this city that he loves his country, but hates to eat it, but that outside of that everything is fine. The dust nuisance there will be fixed in a short time, as a large force of men are employed in oiling and sanding the streets and parade grounds. The claim that tented shows carry all the money out of the country does not apply to the Foley and Burk shows, which exhibit in Anaheim under the Anaheim encampment, I. O. O. F., has elected as delegates to the grand encampment at Bakersfield, Oct. 2-7, F. S. Gates of Anaheim, and Perry Woodward and C. C. Shalley of Fullerton, all past grand patriarchs. The canton of this district, located at Santa Ana, which has always proven a big prize winner, is expected to do big things. Other lodgemen from this county plan to go by auto. Employees of the Edison company in the Santa Ana district have subscribed to over $15,000 in stock in the company. Purchases have also been made locally by men not connected with the company. According to Controller Kemp of Los Angeles, the total subscriptions from Southern California now amounts to $1,693,200. It is declared to be a most remarkable stock sale. Deeds for river channel rights of way, from the Olive bridge to Yorba, which were secured by the committee and turned over to the district free of charge, have been returned to the property owners. When the deeds were secured it was agreed that should the district be defeated, the transfers would be returned. The deeds, which were in keeping of Mr. Gibbs, have been cancelled. These deeds were secured without cost to the district, the donors making the transfers being guided by a magnanimous spirit. As a district asset the deeds were worth $100,000. If condemnation proceedings are ever resorted to acquire these rights of way for the 1100 foot channel for a distance of five miles, it is doubtful whether the land could be secured for any lesser amount. This man Kelvin has stirred up quite a rumpus among the legal fraternity. At first he was charged by the city marshal with damaging jail property, which constitutes a felony, but escaped on a technically. The complaint was revised and it was sought to punish the man, but his lawyer stepped in and stopped proceedings, claiming that a man cannot be placed in jeopardy twice for the same offense. Now the marshal has preferred a charge of battery against the backyard scenes in rear of some of the stores in this city are not in accord with their front appearances. On a recent tour of inspection that official was greatly surprised to say not alarmed at the conditions as he found them. The accumulation of boxes and paper formed an admirable firetrap, and store keepers are warned to clean up their back yards. A fire insurance inspector was in town recently and after making his rounds returned to his place of business, saying that Anaheim was in for a raise in insurance rates. During the past few weeks this remark was heard frequently. "If you build a dike along the river, and cause the water to flow over onto the other fellow, through a break in the dike, you will have a damage suit on your hands." But that is not so. To build a dike for the purpose of confining flood waters within their natural channel is perfectly legal and has been upheld by the courts. But to build a dike across a natural waterway and send the water onto another is criminal, and the party so doing is liable for damages. With the river bed in its present condition the Santa Ana river is liable to dig a new channel, just where at present it would be difficult to determine. In former years the main body of water from the Santa Ana river flowed north of town, then it took another course east of town and swept to the south, where it has remained for upwards of 20 years. According to the lay of the land the river shows signs of coming back, and may again take its course to the north. In that event people in this district would have a merry time trying to change it. The boys about town are in high glee over the result of a wrestling match which was staged a few days ago, and which was pulled off on the spur of the moment. A well known orange grower of Placentia came into town and had what he believed was a winner at the catch-and-catch game, and was also willing to place big odds on his new find, making it two to one. He was willing to send him against the best man in town. "Chuck" happened to hear of the defl and sent in word that he would take the man on. Two to one looked good to the boys and soon several wise guys were sent hurrying around and before friends in this city that he loves his country, but hates to eat it, but that outside of that everything is fine. The dust nuisance there will be fixed in a short time, as a large force of men are employed in oiling and sanding the streets and parade grounds. The claim that tented shows carry all the money out of the country does not apply to the Foley and Burk shows, which exhibit in Anaheim under the auspices of the Elk, October 30 to November 3. These enterprising showmen spend more money in the cities they visit than any of the large circuses. Foley and Burk have no Pullman cars in their equipment and neither do they board their 130 performers and workmen on the grounds, as the circuses do. All become the patrons of the hotels and restaurants from the time they arrive in a city until they depart. It costs these 130 men an average of $2 a day each to live and as they remain a full week, it will be seen that Foley and Burk will spend in Anaheim over $1800 for the board and lodging of their employees alone. This is only one item of their many expenses. What they spend with local concerns for feed for their live stock and wild animals is not known, but it must run well up into the hundreds. The Santa Ana Register, in speaking of defeat of the plans of the Anaheim-Yorba storm water district, says: "It is not going to get rid of the possibility that the Santa Ana river may sometime fail to make the turn at Olive." Residents in this section should read this paragraph over and digest its meaning. When the old Santa Ana again goes on the rampage, look for it to again take its course north of this city. There is nothing to prevent it. Once it establishes that course it is a 100 to 1 bet that the river bed will stay there, and with each recurring heavy rainfall this city and adjacent territory would have a problem confronting them. Property owners along the banks of the Santa Ana to the south would never permit the river to be diverted from its new course. First Showing of Winter Millinery, Saturday, Oct. 6.

At first he was charged by the city marshal with damaging jail property, which constitutes a felony, but escaped on a technicality. The complaint was revised and it was sought to punish the man, but his lawyer stepped in and stopped proceedings, claiming that a man cannot be placed in jeopardy twice for the same offense. Now the marshal has preferred a charge of battery against the man, being determined to have some satisfaction. When Kelvin was in jail he thrust his fist through the bars and landed upon the marshal's nose, which happened to be within reach. How he did it puzzled the officer, but the punch was delivered and the marshal has a witness who saw the attack. Should this charge fail also, the marshal will endeavor to have him sent to Watts. Massle Iserd has petitioned for letters for the administration of the $30,000 estate of Charles Iserd, deceased. H. V. Weisel is attorney for the petitioner. A man got out and got under the other day and after emerging from his cramped position and straightening up, friends stopped and asked him what he was doing. He smiled and said he was trying to locate something. This is a new make of car and I call it the wonder—that is, I wonder if it will go when I'm ready. The Mason theatre is being dismantled this week. A new front and a new floor is being put in and it will be remodeled into a store room. It is understood the room has already been leased. Dr. M. M. Henderson, Dentist, Suite 1, Mulliinx Bldg., Anaheim. Orange grower of Placentia came into town and had what he believed was a winner at the catch-catch can game, and was also willing to place big odds on his new find, making it two to one. He was willing to send him against the best man in town. "Chuck" happened to hear of the defl and sent in word that he would take the man on. Two to one looked good to the boys and soon several wise guys were sent hurrying around and before long it was said they had quite a bit staked on the short end. The affair came off as per schedule, but was of such short duration that the crowd hardly got warmed up. Chuck floored his man within a couple of minutes and performed the operation so decisively that the would-be phenom cared for no more, and the mill was over. It is said the boys about town cleaned up a couple of hundred easy cart wheels. As a preliminary "Discus" and "Louie" tried conclusions, but neither could get a throw. One was small and wiry while the other was corpulent, and try as they would neither could put the other on the mat. Some of the scenarios thrown upon the screen while interesting to a certain degree, invariably contain a chapter of questioned morality, depicting the betrayal and downfall of some young woman. Hardly the proper thing for young girls to witness. Abe Martin wants to know what has become of the old fashioned barber who used to dash a dauber full of lather into your left ear to use as he went along. Ask Brown. Many states and cities have joined the bone dry column and with "Henfessey" wholesaling at $3.00 a quart, no doubt there will be others. First Showing of Winter Millinery, Saturday, Oct. 6.

Peck of the Peck Phonograph company has decided to move his establishment to Los Angeles where a larger field is open to him. Los Angeles capitalists having faith in the Helimola, which is manufactured by Mr. Peck, has agreed to finance him and start him in a larger concern. The Wiley B.

ELWING Expert Instructor, in Charge Falkenstein's DEPARTMENT STORE WILL ELIMINATE THE GRADE CROSSINGS State Railroad Commission is Working to That End In making a review of road crossing with steam and electric roads in Orange county, the State Railroad commission has in mind the time when every grade crossing on the state highway in Orange county will be done away with. Last week the report of the commission's engineer, made after an inspection by him and by representatives of the railroads and by the county surveyor, recommended a number of actions to make safer crossing on the Los Angeles-Santa Ana and Santa Ana-Huntington Beach lines of the Pacific Electric and the Santa Fe between Richfield and Orange. Monday there were filed reports for the La Habra line of the Pacific Electric and for the section of the P. E. between Huntington and Seal Beaches. The report on the La Habra line recommends that the county in the future separate grades at the state highway. County Surveyor McBride said that when a report comes in for the Santa Fe south of Santa Ana there will be a recommendation that the grade crossing at Irvine be done away with. "These are recommendations and point the way toward which the state railroad commission is working," said McBride. "These reports bring to mind what ought to be done in the future, and lists the things the state wants to do along the state highway." There are twenty one roads crossing the P. E. between the Los Angeles county line and the end of the La Habra branch P. E. Line. Recommendations are: At La Mirada avenue, cut weeds; at Idaho street, P. E. should put in $350 wigwag; at Cypress street, cut willows; at state highway separate grades in future; at Pillsbury RICHARD MELROSE SUFFERS INJURY TO BACK Secretary of Exemption Board Off Duty but Expects to Return To Work Richard Melrose has been seriously ill the past few days owing to an accident of a peculiar nature. He was entertaining his young grandson Sunday, carrying him over the lawn of his residence on his shoulders. In stooping to let the boy dismount the muscles of his back gave way and he fell to the ground. He was unable to get up, and neighbors who witnessed the accident went to his assistance and carried him into the house and a physician was summoned. He suffered much pain for a day or two, but is recovering and is now able to get around at short intervals. Mr. Melrose is secretary of the exemption board in this district, and the work imposed upon him during the past month has been strenuous. He expects to be able to return to his duties within a few days. It is reported that Dr. MacFarlane has sold his ice factory to Mrs. Resh, who will conduct the business in the future.
