The rainfall is almost normal up to date, with three or four weeks in which to have more. Miss Emma C. Miller, advertising representative of the Al G.

Mr. O'Donnell reported quite a large volume of water coming down the river, and noted that the river water had cut in and inundated a wide strip of walnut orchards east of the Olive bridge and headed south. This was unusual as never before had the stream taken that course. The pranks of the Santa Ana river always have been erratic and it seems to be keeping up its reputation for freakish movements. Walter Eden of Santa Ana, has announced himself as a candidate for the assembly to succeed J. C. Burke, who declines a renomination. Mr. Eden is one of Orange county's foremost orators and would make a able representative. The names of Thomas Crawford and Leonard Evans have also been mentioned as possible candidates, but neither has yet declared his candidacy. Consternation prevailed for a time among the people of Anaheim, especially the women folks about nine o'clock Monday morning when the gas in every house in town suddenly winked out. Frantic calls were sent in to the gas office enquiring the cause, but the officials were as much in the dark as the balance of the people. It was finally learned that the Los Angeles river had washed out a main leading to Long Beach which drained the system in this region. The leak was speedily stopped and the gas came on again in less than an hour. Long Beach was badly crippled for several hours. The suit between the Westside people and the city of Anaheim in which it is sought to prove our sceptic tank Nellil E. Bailey has been made a captain in the regular United States army, according to a letter received from him this week. Captain Bailey has been in Washington for several months engaged in the government's transportation service, with headquarters at the war department. He was a lieutenant in an Arizona regiment during the Spanish war, and was in Florida with his troops, ready to sail for Cuba, when Santiago fell, and Spain was brought to her knees. He will probably soon be in France and we know that he will give a good account of himself wherever duty calls him. The spring and summer opening of the Enterprise millinery, next door to the postoffice, will be held Friday and Saturday of this week. Easter is not far away, and ladies who expect to display new headgear during the Easter season should take advantage of this opening and inspect the beautiful creations on display there. Several weeks ago when a number of heads of families circulated petitions, asking for additional school rooms for a number of school children in the western limits of the city, they surmised that an outlay of perhaps $7500 would be sufficient to provide these school rooms, not to exceed, as they reasonably supposed, two or three. A number of taxpayers who signed the petition were under the impression that a small school house would be provided to care for the children who lived so far away from the schools now used.. The intention was to have rooms provided on a site somewhere west of Citron St. There were in the neighborhood of 40 or 50 children who came from the west section to attend the Broadway school, a distance of about a mile or more. The bond issue as published REMARKABLE SEASON SAY OLD TIMERS Rainfall Recorded Since Middle of February 18 Nine Inches Clear skies and the promise of the weather man yesterday morning gave the people teh assurance that the rainy spell which began the middle of February was ended for the present. This has been one of the most remarkable seasons within the memory of the oldest inhabitant. According to J. B. Neff who keeps a faithful record of the rainfall, the precipitation up to February 18 was only two and eight hundredths of an inch. During the balance of February more than four inches fell, and the precipitation for the first eleven days in March was 4.85, making a total to date of 11.05, which is a little above the normal for an entire season. One of the blessings of this rain also was the fact that it came gradually, and most of it was assimilated by the soil, very little going to waste. Rains in the mountains, however and melting snow filled the river to its brim and there was much uneasiness Sunday, Monday and Tuesday as it threatened to break through below the Olive bridge and inundate Garden Grove again. People from that section, however, got busy and headed it off. A forest of cypress trees were sacrificed, hundreds of them being dragged through Anaheim to the river and the gap was stopped. Garden Grove last summer organized a protection district for the purpose of dyking that dangerous point in the river bank, but funds for the work are not yet available. One hundred and fifty men worked on the river Monday night, and their work was effective, as the danger passed without damage. as the balance of the people. It was finally learned that the Los Angeles river had washed out a main leading to Long Beach which drained the system in this region. The leak was speedily stopped and the gas came on again in less than an hour. Long Beach was badly crippled for several hours. The suit between the Westside people and the city of Anaheim in which it is sought to prove our sceptic tank a nuisance, is on the superior court docket for today, tomorrow and Saturday. The suit was filed against J. S. Rockwell, lessee of the sewer farm and manager of the tank. Mrs. Fred Hudson and son, Fred, junior, are at Long Beach this week visiting Mrs. Hudson's parents, Mr. and Mrs. Herbert Brown. Mrs. Brown is seriously ill, having undergone an operation Monday. H.

The regular meeting of the Loara Parent Teachers' association will be held in the school on Friday afternoon, March 15th, at 2:30. All are cordially invited to attend. The protection work along the west bank put in by the Yorba Richfield district held the flood water in the old channel, and prevented the flood from going north of this city. A row of piling also put in by Anaheim Union Water Co., served to hold the stream in check. A large volume of water from Carbon canyon, about 2000 inches, came down the sand wash. Senator John N. Anderson state appraiser was in town from Santa Ana Tuesday appraising the value of the property of the late E. L. Larkin. Mr. and Mrs. J.

Mullinix was the champion among the gentlemen. In the house decoration the St. Patrick's day colors were used. Emil Heying, the grocer, on Saturday swore out a warrant for the arrest of a man named Oswald for whom Heying cashed a $77 no fund check the evening previously. Oswald formerly was in the employ of the Sperry Flour company, acting as cashier and bookkeeper. It is said he had been discharged on Friday. At various times in the past Heying had cashed checks for Oswald, and when he asked for the $77 on Friday evening Heying turned the money over to him. Next day when the check was presented to the First National bank, Heying was informed the man's account had been closed. It is said Oswald tried to pass the check on a garage man, where his machine was being repaired and upon which was due $75. With the money received from Heying, the man secured his car and later left town. Heying notified the officers when he learned he had been fleeced, and the authorities are now looking for Oswald. It is said he returned to this city on Saturday and was in a rooming house on East Center street, but this was unknown to the officers, and since the landlady knew nothing about the check deal, did not notify the marshal's office. It is said several other checks have turned up, one business man being stung for $22. How far the operations of Oswald extended is not known, but Mr. Heying would like to lay hands on him. Announcement of its spring opening is made in this issue by the Cable Millery. Friday and Saturday of this week are the dates. A splendid line of spring and summer hats are on exhibition, and ladies who visit this store on the opening days will see something beautiful, as all the latest styles will be displayed. E. N. Cook, the well known Eastside orange grower, was in town Tuesday on business. Theodore Kistner of San Diego was a business visitor in town a few days ago. Suit to foreclose a mortgage of $1656 has been brought by Henry Oelkers against Edward Belville, Tipton & Callor are attorneys for the plaintiff. Tuesday morning Sheriff Jackson got a wire from Capt. Holderman, in command of Company L, 160th Infantry, Camp Kerny, asking him to arrest and hold six members of Company L. Two of the men are resident of Santa Ana, one Orange and three Anaheim. At 2 o'clock the sheriff had rounded up three of the six men. One of them told him that about twenty men who were away from camp on passes, under which they should have returned to camp Monday night, decided to beat it for home for visits. Under Capt. Holderman's instructions, the sheriff will notify him as soon as he gets the six men together. Deputy Sheriff Iman came over Tuesday and corralled the three Anaheim boys. Felix Stein will go to war, despite the fact that he has three brothers in the German army. Stein is a merchant at Yorba Linda and at the time he first claimed exemption, stated his wife was dependent on him for support. Later he told the board that he had three brothers in the German army and did not want to go to war for fear he would be placed opposite them in the trenches and might be firing bullets at his own blood. The board took a sympathetic view of the matter and have decided that Felix shall be given an opportunity to go into one of the non-combatant jobs, possibly making ships or getting out spruce for airplanes.

FRIDAY and SATURDAY March 15 and 16 SPRING OPENING DAYS A complete showing of the season’s newest ideas in Ready to Wear and Dress Materials Falkenstein's DEPARTMENT STORE TOMMY GREGG'S HOME IS GUTTED BY FIRE Occupants Grope Their Way to Safety Leaving All Behind Although the shell of the house is still standing fire Tuesday night completely gutted the home of Tommy Gregg at the corner of Cypress and North Claudina streets. The house, which stands on the corner opposite the Presbyterian church is known as the Smythe house, and is one of the oldest in Anaheim, having been built in an early day. The fire was caused by an electric wire, the room in which it originated being lined with burlap. Mr. Gregg had warmed his wife's bedclothes while she was taking a hot bath and retired to his own room first turning out the gas. Mrs. Gregg detected the smoke and on opening the door found the entire room ablaze. Attired mostly in a kimono she found her baby and made her way through the blinding and suffocating smoke to the door. She collided with something receiving a severe bump on the forehead but managed to get out. Tommy also escaped with scant wardrobe. Neighbors who ran to the scene managed to get out a piece or two of furniture, but almost the entire contents was destroyed, including the clothing of the family and $40 in money. There was no insurance on the goods. Mr. Gregg is an employee in the oil fields. For several months he was idle through illness, returning to work only a few weeks ago. Tuesday afternoon a check for $80.80 was received by the county clerk from F. B. Kern in payment of the costs assessed against him in his loss of his damage action against City Marshal Kellenberger for alleged false arrest. With the receipt of the check, Attorney Koepsel, representing Kellenberger, authorized the dismissal of the case. Just above the Santa Fe railroad bridge, which forms a curve in the Santa Ana river, north of the Olive bridge, there is an open strip of about 200 feet on the western bank of the river—that is where the western bank used to be. Through this open gap there is nothing to prevent flood waters going north of town, provided an excessive amount of water should come down the canyon. Eastside ranchers, who have noted this condition the past few days, say that it is a direct menace to property lying to the north and northeast of this city. Frank Anderson of Placentia, left Friday for North Island, San Diego, where he enlisted in the aviation corps, as a mechanic. Ray Adams has enlisted in the 319th Engineer regiment, stationed at Camp Fremont, and will leave as soon as his transfer papers from a northern exemption board are returned here. Street Superintendent Sackett was out Sunday afternoon looking after storm drains. He found them all in good working order. Mr. Sackett says the rain was the finest ever. The local lodge of Elks now has ten stars i their service flag, with the probability of adding three more within the next few days. The announcement of a wedding celebrated in El Centro Saturday, a complete surprise to Olinda and Placentia folks, is that of Miss Merle Van Ness of Olinda to Ray Hale of Placentia. Mr. Hale received word from the government on the 14th that he must report at San Pedro for service in the neval reserve on Thursday, the 28th, so he went to El Centro, where Merle is staying with her mother, who is ill there.
