Holcomb, underwent a surgical operation at the sanitarium on Tuesday for an affection of the ear. Johnny has recently been quite ill with tonsillitis as a result of which a surgical operation upon the interior of the ear was made necessary. He is getting along as well as could be expected, and will probably soon be out again. A. R. Sprague, a well known horticultural and marketing expert, who is favorably known throughout the state has been appointed farm adviser for Orange county. Appointment was made by the state university on recommendation of J. B. Neff of this city, who has known him for many years, and speaks very highly of him as one of the best men in the state for the position. Mr. Sprague will arrive at Santa Ana this week and assume his official duties. His salary is $1800 per year, half of which is paid by the federal government and half by the state. Expenses of his office will be born by the county. His duties will be to advise farmers as to best methods of raising and marketing crops. He has been manager for fruit associations in Northern and Southern California, and is regarded as being one of the best experts in his line on the coast. Webb' Lymburner, formerly of Fullerton, now a resident of Redlands, where he resides with his aged mother was in tow nSunday on a brief visit. Several years ago he purchased a 12-acre lemon grove in the upper valley and the trees coming four years' old were as fine an orchard as could be found. Five years ago the severe frost literally killed the trees, freezing them almost to the ground. The loss was a severe one to Mr. Lymburner, whose adversities were magnified by subsequent losses caused by the elements. Webb is persevering and expects to perfect a machine which he claims will solve the perpetual motion problem. Ed. Raines, of the southeast section, attended the ball game Sunday, but while he admits it was unfair for the visitors to run in several professionals, the home boys would have tightened up on them, barring a few Richard Melrose went to San Diego on Tuesday on a professional visit.

Williams of Santa Ana was a visitor in town Wednesday evening and attended the session of the associated chambers of commerce. Mr. Williams for many years held the office of county clerk, but resigned several months ago, and is now engaged in the banking business in Santa Ana. Nels T. Edwards, county clerk, was in attendance at the meeting of the associated chambers of commerce on Wednesday evening. Mr. Edwards took a keen interest in the deliberations of the meeting and sees in the associated chambers an organization that is a power for good in promoting the county's best advantages. Mr. Edwards met with many old time friends while here who are always glad to see him. Adolph Hartman and Architect Krempel of Los Angeles, were here on Friday accompanied by Deputy Sheriff Cravath and opened the Hartman building which had been closed by attachment order issued by a Los Angeles court against Juan Castina, whose stock of automobiles, etc., was seized by creditors two weeks ago. The attachment was to satisfy a debt of $606, the creditor being E. W. Snow of Los Angeles. The room has been leased, it is reported, and again will be opened as a garage. For the first time during this winter Johnny Holcomb, son of Mr. and Mrs. C. E. Holcomb, underwent a surgical operation at the sanitarium on Tuesday for an affection of the ear. Johnny has recently been quite ill with tonsillitis as a result of which a surgical operation upon the interior of the ear was made necessary. He is getting along as well as could be expected, and will probably soon be out again. Gene Adams' bicycle was stolen from the side of his home on Friday evening. This makes three wheels Gene has lost, only one of which was recovered. Mr. and Mrs. L. E. Miller received another letter from their son, Edwin, who is at the front in France.

Webb is persevering and expects to perfect a machine which he claims will solve the perpetual motion problem. Ed. Raines, of the southeast section, attended the ball game Sunday, but while he admits it was unfair for the visitors to run in several professionals, the home boys would have tightened up on them, barring a few bad errors in the first part of the session. Ed likes to see the boys play ball all the way and sometimes one bad error will lose a game. Ed never misses a ball game if he is within a hundred miles of the seat of action and is really and truly a fan of the first water. Ed in former years was a professional skater, and while he allows he is getting a little older all the time he still can cut a figure 8 with the best of them. A Chippewa Indian giving the name of J. Richard Kebec, was arrested here Friday afternoon by Marshal Kellenberger, on advice from the Los Angeles police, which message had been sent to the Fullerton cops, and relayed to the police here. Kebec, according to the Los Angeles detectives, is charged with kiting bogus checks, and was also in possession of a King eight valued at about $1000, upon which he had paid $300. The Indian, it is said, had received $500 from the government on a claim due him, and immediately purchased the car on the installation plan. It is alleged that he at once began to explore the great white way and soon his bank roll was gone. The car had been bought from Greer Robbins of Los Angeles and after default had been entered as to future payments the owner of the car sought to recover the machine. Kebec it is said belonged to a film company, and Detective Dean and McCann were detailed to bring him in. They hot-footed all over the Angelic burg looking for their man, but had difficulty in locating him. The officers became vexed, but on Friday learned that their man had headed toward this city in the King Eight, accompanied by a soldier. The officers at Fullerton received the message first, but missed the man by a close margin. He had stopped at a hotel there, the officers learned, and then headed for this city. The Fullerton police phoned the marshal here to grab the man, and Marshal Kellenberger, after receiving the call went out to look for him. He was For the first time during this winter water has appeared in the Santa Ana river at the spreading grounds at the mouth o fthe canyon. Early in the winter the Water Conservation association put all of its ditches and dams in first class condition to spread water when the same should be available but no water appearing the men were removed about the first of February. Since the rains men have been put back on the works and all water flowing in the river at this point is being sunk into the debris cone. The water will be spread until it is required for irrigation by prior appropriations lower down on the river. Marshal Kellenberger, who can have anything he wants just for the asking from the Los Angeles detective bureau, for his alacrity in landing a fugitive they had almost given up for lost, says however, the next time he horns one of those big powered gas wagons for the city cops he will attach an emergency clause as to when it is to be turned over to them. John owns a car that looks like a Maxwell and the other day when he had a King Eight locked up in the police garage a notion struck him to see just what it was made out of. When he used to step on his old car the speedometer would register around 35 or 40, and while he went out for a spin with the captured car (not desiring to have it become gummed up by disuse) he hit the boulevards for a little fresh air. Out where there were no speed copes in sight, one of John's close friends said he gave it the gun, and gee, haw it picked up speed, the momentum being such a thrill to him that he felt like giving the car the limit, but he is law abiding and shut her off. It's a safe bet when John buys a new one it will be a King Eight. W.A. White of Claysville, Pa., an old time friend of Chas. Federman, visited in town a few days ago. Messrs. Peck & Colby who purchased the department store of H.A.Dick- Mr. Charles F. Kennedy of Bangor, Maine, while visiting his aunt Mrs. Rose Harrison of East Center street, received a telegram of the death of the senior member of the firm, which required his immediate return. Mr. Kennedy is a prominent business man of Bangor and is greatly impressed with Anaheim and surrounding country. He fully intends to return and make a long visit. Action upon mechanics' liens recorded against the Providential Oil Co. and property leased by it from Juanita Yorba and other members of the Yorba family has been brought by D. A.

Heying have decided to make only two deliveries per day hereafter, one in the foreonment and one in the afternoon. In this move they are only following the custom being adopted by business houses throughout the entire country. It is an economic measure, it is claimed made necessary by the war. It is a wise move and need not inconvenience their customers, as they can arrange the day's orders to correspond with the time for delivery. Bird Beebe has returned from his ranch in Tulare county. He is recovering from a serious attack of illness. Appoplexy brought sudden death to Chappo Dolores at his home at San Juan Capistrano Friday. With his passing goes one of the old time vaqueros.

He was in bed when the stroke came. The officers became vexed, but on Friday learned that their man had headed toward this city in the King Eight, accompanied by a soldier. The officers at Fullerton received the message first, but missed the man by a close margin. He had stopped at a hotel there, the officers learned, and then headed for this city. The Fullerton police phoned the marshal here to grab the man, and Marshal Kellenberger, after receiving the call went out to look for him. He was proceeding up Los Angeles street and there he caught sight of Kebec driving the car south. Kellenberger stopped him, and took him to the station. While in the act of calling up the Los Angeles police, Detective Dean was also calling the local officers, and he was told of the arrest. The detective was greatly pleased on learning that the capture had been made and complimented Kellenberger for the quick action. Officers came after Kebec and returned with him, and next day a colored police chauffeur came after the King and the case closed on this end of the line. W.A. White of Claysville, Pa., an old time friend of Chas. Federman, visited in town a few days ago. Messrs.

Falkenstein's DEPARTMENT STORE Mrs. Helmsen has constructed a new sidewalk in front of her residence on South Claudina street, replacing the farmer walk, which had been broken by roots of a large camphor tree in the parking.

He was accompanied by his son Earl, Charley Carroll and Walt Koehler, who returned last evening. Frank will take up the work of assessing property in the Victor Valley irrigation district, and will be absent several weeks. Mr. and Mrs. E. N. Cook of East Anaheim motored to San Diego several days ago, intending to pay a visit to Camp Kearny. Owing to the inclementy of the weather the premises at the camp were found boggy owing to the rainfall and they did not venture upon the grounds, wheer a review of 30,000 troops were to be held. Out of San Diego for 25 miles the unpaved strip of highway was almost impossible and Mr. Cook had to use the utmost precaution in driving through that section. They returned home later in the day. A. S. Bradford of Placentia, chairman of the committee of the Associated Chambers of Commerce which prepared the prize winning exhibit at the Orange Show, says that it is probable that Orange county would be asked to select a queen for the show next year, because of the fact that this county won the grand prize of $200 at the show this year. James Sleeper, county assessor, was renewing acquaintances here a few days ago and attended the associated chambers of commerce meeting in the evening. "Jim" bears the distinction of being the best assessor Orange county ever had, and has a walk-over for re-election. A number of Mexican families have during the past few years bought small lots near the sugar factory and built their homes there. At present there are at least fifty families in the settlement. They are at a disadvantage in securing water for domestic purposes, and a committee waited upon the trustees and asked that city water be furnished them. They agreed to pay $12 each per year in advance for the water service. They being outside of the city limits the board took no action upon the request, but the committee on public improvements was instructed to take the matter up with the sugar factory officials and see if arrangements could be made for that company to furnish the water. Should they fall in this mission the Mexicans would be up against a complex question as to their water supply. Individually they would be unable to sink their own wells, and it is doubtful if any number of them would cooperate and provide water by pumping. There are during the sugar making campaign at least a couple of hundred people in the settlement. For two weeks past the men said all the water they had was carried in buckets from neighbors' wells, but this was only temporary. If the sugar factory cannot serve the water, and if it is out of the jurisdiction of the city, some private company may be formed to furnish them. Miss Susan Emma Montenyohl arrived Tuesday morning at the home of Mr. and Mrs. Frank Montenyohl. Mother and child are doing nicely. It is said that Long Beach and San Pedro are at present enjoying unprecedented prosperity owing to the fact that they possess harbor facilities and as a consequence at each place large contracts for shipbuilding are being filled. Thousands of men are given employment at both places. Advocates of Newport harbor assert that the same business conditions would exist here were the harbor perfected.
