Some, in fact, were being supported by the women they vowed to protect. It is the desire of the local board to learn of all cases where exemption has been granted and the husband is not performing his duty toward his dependents. Representative Wm. Howarth of Pittsburg and his mother, were visiting with Mrs. L. R. Williams last Friday and Saturday. Mrs. L. R. Williams and Mrs. B. J. Brown were in Los Angeles from Wednesday to Friday of last week. The Anaheim Union Water company and the P. E have reached an agreement out of court whereby the former will be supplied with a new right of way and a new ditch with which to serve its stockholders, who entered as defendants in the condemnation suit brought by the P. E. against A. O. Stovall. The trial now going on before a jury and Judge Thomas does not concern the irrigation problem, which has been settled. It only concerns the amount of damages to be awarded Stoval for taking an acre of land and some improvements on his place at Fullerton, where the P. E. seeks a right of way for its line from La Habra. Witnesses for Stoval have testified that he will be damaged from $7500 to $8000. G. S. Garner, a claim agent for the P. E. testified the damage would not be over $4500. Williams and Rutan appear for the defendant, and Gortner, Karr and H. J. Forgy for the P. E. The Salt Lake has brought suit against Henry Burdorf for a right of way across ten acres about two blocks east of Spadra road and three blocks south of the Santa Fe.

Robert Corcoran was in town Monday on a business trip, and said he was pleased to see the many substantial improvements being carried on here. "Bob" has many friends here who are always glad to see him. Dr. M. M. Henderson has received a commission from the war department as first lieutenant and will be assigned as a dentist. Dr. Henderson some months ago offered his services, and now receives word of his appointment, his commission to extend for five years. He expects to be called now at any time and is ready. MUST SUPPORT THEIR WIVES "Go home and keep on supporting your wife," said Joseph Scott, chairman of the appeal board, Monday evening as he settled the fate of many Orange county men. "But do not fall to do it or you may find yourself on the way to the front. I am expecting your neighbors to report to the local board if you do not do it. She is entitled to your support, and you would better give it to her." Nearly all of the claims placed and the appeal judge urged nearly on the ground of dependent wives, and the apepal judge urged nearly all of them to see to it that they were not lax in their duties. It has come to the board that many of the claim agent for the P.E. testified the damage would not be over $4500. Williams and Rutan appear for the defendant, and Gortner, Karr and H.J. Forgy for the P.E. The Salt Lake has brought suit against Henry Burdorf for a right of way across ten acres about two blocks east of Spadra road and three blocks south of the Santa Fe. The map shows the proposed Salt Lake road crossing Spadra from west to east three blocks south of the Santa Fe, and curving southward parallel with the Santa Fe when it turns southward near the south Fullerton city limits. SCHMIDT MUSIC COMPANY MOVES INTO NEW HOME Will Shortly Go Into Room Vacated By Good Fellows' Grotto The Schmidt Music Company is compelled to move into larger quarters, consequently it is preparing to desert the present location at 222 East Center for the room formerly occupied by the Good Fellows' Grotto, at 122 West Center. The company is advertising an extraordinary sale of pianos and other instruments, as Mr. Schmidt declares he would rather dispose of them at a sacrifice than move them. The new store is next to the Fairyland theatre and Mr. Schmidt has taken a three year lease on it. It is much larger than the present room and was needed in order to house the large new stock now on the way from New York. He has signed a three-year lease for this room, and expects to make it the permanent quarters of one of the largest music houses in Orange county. Dr. M. M. Henderson, Dentist, Suite 1, Mullinix Bldg., Anaheim. LOCAL NOTES Carl Struck, father of Supervisor Fred W. Struck, died at his home in Orange Wednesday. Mr. Struck was born in Germany in 1838, and came to this country in 1870. Work has been in progress for several days past on the remodeling of the Mason theatre. A new front is being put in, the graduated cement floor is being taken out, and the place will be turned into a store room. It is understood the place is leased to a business firm. In the list of the boys who went to Camp Lewis last Wednesday printed in this paper, Martin V. Stewart was credited to Santa Ana. This is an error of some clerk at exemption headquarters. The young man is an Anaheimer and we don't allow any other community to claim him. He is the son of Mr. and Mrs. M. V. Stewart of this city. There has been filed by State Inheritance Tax Appraiser Anderson a statement showing that an inheritance tax of $9623.70 had been paid to the state by the heirs of Mrs. Gertrude M. Bain, who left an estate valued at $270,446. The property in this county is located at Fullerton. Harry Whitaker has been getting about with the use of a cane the past few days owing to lameness. Several weeks ago he had a slight attack of bloodpoisoning in his left foot, and he believes the present ailment might be attributed to that fact. However he is improving and expects to soon be entirely well again. Placentia is truly a magnificent section from a citrus viewpoint. It is good for the eyes to see the large healthy looking orange trees now loaded with fruit soon to come to maturity. Placentia for years has been justly praised for its oranges and some of the best orange growers in the state reside there. The industry is carried on along scientific lines. You hear men talk about the correct depth to sink the cultivator tooth, how and when to put on the disc, and whether the time is opportune for fertilizing and irrigating. They have the game down to a science. Some of these orchards net the owners regularly $1000 per acre, while others go higher. But then these men know how to raise oranges. Others of course do not do as well. Placentia is hard to beat. A well known eastside rancher, who favored the river protection district, says a number of ranchers there now look upon the matter with apathy, because should we have heavy rainfall the channel will be changed to a new bed north of this city, and that in consequence eastsiders will be relieved of fear of damage from a possible overflow. What are you going to do about it? Check dams and barriers to hold flood waters are commendable, especially in arid regions, where dry river beds suddenly become roaring rivers during excessive rainfall. At the same time banks would have to be built to confine these waters within fixed channels as it journeys along. That would be up to each locality to look out for itself and provide that protection. If they did not do it, who would? The plan proposed by the local district, which seems to be on the toboggan, was feasible and was not expensive, and experts say could have Orris Mullinix, Leslie Swope, Bert Kern and Joe Wagenr, are in the mountains hunting deer. They will return the end of the week. Gavvy Cravath is at home again. He came in Saturday, and will spend the winter with his family at Laguna Beach. Gavvy still maintains his reputation as one of the heaviest batters in the big leagues. Mr. and Mrs. Frank Neilson, who have been ranching at Delta, Utah for the past several months, returned to this city last week. Mr. Neilson has accepted a position with the Birch Oil company and they will reside at the company's property on Birch Hill. Capt. Herman Stern has as nice a young orchard on East Street as is to be found anywhere. He has 20 acres of three year olds that promise well. The trees are given the best of attention by a competent horticulturist, and the result is an orchard that will pay dividends. Between the rows beans are planted and the returns from this crop will be no small item. Captain Stern besides raising oranges, knows how to sell farming implements, which however is more of a diversion for him, as the Captain is on Easy Street. Charles Federman says public meetings are all right to get the pulse of the people, if there is not too much talking upon vital issues. There is such a thing as talking a thing to death. Mr. Federman says it would be a grand idea to get all the people in one big harmonious camp and all pull together, and put petty jealousy on the shelf. Too much habla A gentleman who took an active part in the formation of the late protection Harry Whitaker has been getting about with the use of a cane the past few days owing to lameness. Several weeks ago he had a slight attack of bloodpoisoning in his left foot, and he believes the present alliment might be attributed to that fact. However he is improving and expects to soon be entirely well again. The Junior college students of the Anaheim high school last week elected the following officers for this year's term: President, Walter Hemmerling; vice president, Margaret Osborne; secretary, Beryl Kennedy; treasurer, Jack Abbott. The class teachers are Miss Gertrude Cain and J. S. Malcolm. Both liquor and tobacco advanced in price this week, we are informed. This is because of the heavy tax the government has imposed. Wholesalers in Anaheim have doubled the price of bottled goods in all distilled liquors, and have also increased the price on wines. The dealers say they get none of this increased price, as it all goes to the government to help pay the war tax. It is up to the people now to either cut out the booze because it costs too much and their families need the money, or to drink more because the government needs it. The patriotic citizen who believes in supporting the government is between the devil and the deep sea. He can take his choice. The condemnation suit, filed by the Pacific Electric for right of way through a strip of land on the La-Habra-Fullerton line next to Hilcrest Drive in the city of Fullerton came on trial Monday morning. A. O. Stovall, et al., defendants, claim that if the railway is given right of way a water ditch owned by the Anaheim Union Water company will be damaged to the extent of $27,000. The defendants further claim that by restricting the water in this way, 48 other property owners will be damaged from $1000 up to $38,000. The damages run up to about $410,000 in all. Williams and Rutan have been substituted for the late E. E. Keech as attorneys for the defense, and Frank Karr, R. C. Gortner and H. J. Forgy are attorneys for the Pacific Electric. Loule Kroeger and family returned to this city several days ago from Utah, where he homesteaded some land. He has a number of acres set to orchards and has a tract of alfalfa. Mr. Kroeger sees many substantial improvements here and says he will remain for several months. The Anaheim Elks will give their first dance to Elks only, this (Thursday) evening, at Fisher's Hall. Mrs. R. H. Prindle arrived in Brea from Fillmore, where she and her husband had a narrow escape from death in the big fire that swept the Little Sespe region. Mr. Prindle escaped death only by burying himself in the earth and allowing the fire to sweep over him. He was badly burned, but will recover. The Prindles lost all their belongings in the fire. The members of the D. B. Club entertained their husbands and friends at a Wiener bake at the beautiful east-side home of Mrs. J. J. Burkhart, Monday evening. The beautiful grounds of "Burkhartsaley" were profusely decorated with lanterns and made a pleasant setting for the feast that was served at a late hour. The forty-five guests spent the evening in games and music. The success of the evening was due largely to the untiring efforts of the Club's committee, consisting of Mesdames, Burkhart, Huff, McGathan and Mitchell. Liberty Loan bonds will be the subject of the business men's Incheon at the Oyster Loaf cafe today. C. E. A gentleman who took an active part in the formation of the late protection district, said he had got in touch with a man who was next to the higher up and he said that he had heard it was the policy of the trustees to call an election to disincorporate the district. They are advocating the conservation of waters at the head of the stream, a very fine idea, but a long ways off. Meantime there is nothing to stop the river digging a new channel north of town. The police say that this man Kelvin is wanted in Chicago on a serious charge, and that officers from the east are coming after him. At present he is confined in the county jail, awaiting prosecution on a minor charge. As John Kellenberger drove away from the sidewalk in front of the city hall the other evening, he called to Judge Howard, saying, "Look, Judge, my lights are on." Is it possible that the marshal ever attempted to drive his car without lights, and having had an interview with the justice relative thereto, which usually costs five dollars per interview? JOSEPH WARD, FOUND ON DESERT, TOLD HE IS MILLIONAIRE Joseph Ward, for 37 years a miner on the Mojave desert, has been found by C. H. Churchill, at Higgins well, and informed that he is a millionaire. Ward's attorneys recently leased Ward's celestite deposit near Ludlow to a New York syndicate on a royalty basis that will pay him about $100,000 a year. Churchill's arrival at Higgins well was the first intimation Ward had that he was a millionaire. Attorneys M. O. Hart and B. F. Warmer of San Bernardino made the deal for Ward which made the old prospector a millionaire, and have been attempting to locate him and tell him of his fortune. Churchill read the story of Ward's fortune in the papers. LIBERTY BOND EXEMPTIONS The new 4% Liberty bonds are exempt from all state and local taxes. The new 4% Liberty bonds are exempt from the normal federal income tax. New 4% Liberty bonds to a principal amount of $5,000 in the hands of each investor, in addition to the above, are exempt from all federal taxation except estate and inheritance taxes, that is, are exempt from surtaxes and excess profit taxes, as well as normal income taxes. This means that as regard the average citizen, including those in comfortable circumstances, the new 4% bonds are practically tax exempt. Official statistics show that of the 100,000,000 or more population of the United States, only 3,824 have incomes above $100,000 per annum, and in the case of anyone having an income less than this figure, the new 4% bonds are a more desirable investment than the fully tax exempt 3½% bonds of the first Liberty loan. Claude Swope has on display some fine corn which he points to as being among the best ever raised in these parts. He has a five acre tract in the southwest country, from which he harvested forty hundred to the acre. "Paddy" is doing his bit. Liberty Loan bonds will be the subject of the business men's Incheon at the Oyster Loaf cafe today. C. E. Holcomb will preside, and a speaker of note will be present to give a talk on the subject. The committee in charge of the Liberty Loan work here is composed of C. E. Holcomb, W. A. Dolan, Adolph Thomas and C. A. Boege. J. H. Whalen, who was arrested some time ago on a charge of disturbing the peace, was tried by a jury before Judge Howard on Friday. Whalen runs a restaurant and rooming house on Lemon street in the rear of the postoffice. On being arraigned he plead not guilty and demanded a jury trial. Two lawyers from Los Angeles defended him and the jury decided that the charges were not substantiated. Aurelio Daniels has been granted exemption at Camp Lewis, owing to an affection of the eyes. He is expected to return home in a few days. They tell the story of three local sports who went up to the city, and stepping into a cafe, called for a round of Manhattans. They were served in style and the check called for $1.05. Liquids are soaring high. Pete Nicolas was a business visitor in town Tuesday evening, coming in to look over the latest wholesale quotations on wet goods. COUNTY TAX RATE Orange county has a tax rate that is far below the average of the counties of California. In fact, it is classed as among the counties with a low tax rate, for out of the 58 counties of California there are only eight with lower rates. Orange county's tax rate is $1.30 inside incorporated cities and $1.70 outside cities. The counties with lower rates are: Alameda, $1.08 and $1.48; Fresno, $1.28 and $1.66; Inyo, $1.30 and $1.60; Kern, $8.45 and $1.20; Los Angeles, $8.55 and $1.30; Modoc, $1.25 and $1.65; San Luis Obispo, $1.27 and $1.55. Mono and Plumas have the same outside rate, $1.70, as has Orange. Riverside county with an equal indebtedness, $1,255,000, has a rate of $1.93 and $2.53, and San Bernardino county has $1.96 and $2.35, while San Diego has $1.95 and $2.65. Ventura county wits ha debt of $1,350,000 has rates of $2.34 and $2.68. Thirty-four counties have an outside rate of over $2.00. Kings county has rates of $3.10 and $3.70 and Nevada county has $2.70 and $3.20. These figures are taken from the table compiled by the state controller for the present year, which have just been printed.

Falkenstein's DEPARTMENT STORE ANAHEIM EBELL CHANGES MEETING DAY Will Hold Sessions Hereafter on First Monday of Each Month The Ebell Society held their regular meeting in the Masonic hall on Saturday afternoon.
