The city has in contemplation the purchase of some sort of motor driven street sprinkler, but as yet the superintendent has not decided the best device to use. There are a number of sprinklers on the market, but they are costly. Just so soon as a selection is made it is probable that the city will purchase one. Complaint is made of the dusty condition of the dirt roads, but owing to the high cost of road oil the streets have not been kept up, as well as they might have been. Any person who expects to vote at the primaries in August must be on the great register not later than July 27.

Joe Hatfield, w in a hospital at Any person who expects to vote at the primaries in August must be on the great register not later than July 27. July 27 is the last day any person may register or transfer from one precinct to another. July 18 is the last day upon which nomination papers can be filed. So far as county officers are concerned, any person registered can have his vote. Party affiliation cuts no figure in county and township offices. The man or woman who has given no party designation has the same vote as the one who has designated his party. When it comes to state offices, including the assemblyman, the party affiliation counts. Only the person registered as a Republican can vote to determine who shall be the republican nominee for any state office. Judge Howard made the statement before the council, in asking that august body for a raise in his salary as recorder, that the new police force has been crowding his court to the limit, that Marshal Wood and his deputies are surely rounding up all offenders, and as a result his private affairs have had to suffer. The office of recorder carries a $50 monthly salary and the judge believes he should have $75 if the police keep up their pace, and should the minions of the law grow to be still more proficient the judge will have to send out an S. O. S. F. B. Kern and R. E. Coffman left Sunday on a fishing excursion to Big Bear. City Clerk Merritt has been granted the privilege of leaving his desk at noon Saturdays and remaining away until Monday morning during the summer.

He and his family are touring the state in their automobile, and after a short visit here they drove to San Diego. They will Tater depart for their home in the north. Mrs. George Meyers was pleased to hear Monday from her sister in Los Angeles that their brother, Leo Chezick who enlisted some months ago had been promoted first to be a corporal and later was made a sergeant. Sergt. Chezick has been stationed at Camp Lewis and now is on his way to France. While on a fishing excursion to Bear Lake K. S. Jensen was suddenly stricken with appendicitis. He was brought home Sunday and taken to the Sanitarium where an operation was performed.

Tom Hollingworth was the happiest man in town a few days ago when he enjoyed a visit from his brother, A. H. Hollingworth, who has been promoted from a lieutenant to the position of lieutenant-colonel in the regular army. Tom is proud of him, and during the Colonel's short stay here he was royally entertained. Miss Gladys Fifield, deputy county treasurer, has been appointed to gather data in making up the roll of Orange county men in war service.

The committee of the Associated Chambers of Commerce having the work in charge is composed of Dr. Freeman of Fullerton and A. B. Paul and J. C. Joplin of Santa Ana. George A. Mills visited his brother at Hermosa Beach some days ago, and found him hble and hearty in his 84th year. He was engaged in chopping weeds as Mr. Mills drove up, and expressed great pleasure at meeting him. In the home at Hermosa beach are three people whose ages aggregate 253 years. These are Mr. Mills, his wife who is 85 and her sister who is 84. They are all in the enjoyment of perfect health and are full of activity despite their advanced years. This family should take the blue ribbon at C. S. Troutman and wife and Mrs. Ella Williams spent two or three days the first of the week fishing at Newport, and according to Mr. Troutman they caught nearly all the herring and cornfed mackerel on this side of the Pacific ocean. They would have caught more, Mr. Troutman says, but whenever a school discovered the devastation he was making in the ranks they immediately retreated to deep water. Believing that the early angler has the best luck Mr. Troutman got down to the pier at four o'clock one morning, but found numerous sportsmen ahead of him. Next morning, determined to be first he got out of bed at one o'clock, but when he reached the pier several persons were already there, evidently having fished all night. George W. Sloop arrived in town from Phoenix on Saturday, and on Tuesday left with his family for a camping trip to Big Bear. Mr. Sloop is raising 360 acres of cotton which is now knee high and promises a fine crop. He has also 40 acres of milo maize. He reports the weather in Arizona exceedingly warm, and finds an agreeable change in the cool weather prevailing on the coast. Sheriff C. E. Jackson was in town Monday evening on official business. Between the first and the sixth of each month hereafter Rate Collector Wallace will be stationed upon the lower floor at the entrance to the city hall on East Center street, where the light and water rates may be paid. A large safe has been purchased for use in that department where all moneys and valuable papers are to be kept. By having the office down stairs people will not have to climb the stairways to the office as heretofore, which the trustees believe will By developing the efficiency of the wells at the power plant the city trusts have in view the production of a larger stream flow. A modern pump will have to be installed, but its cost will be money well spent on account of the increase of water available for domestic use. Heretofore the council has furnished water to people outside the city limits, but this practice had to be abandoned, owing to the limited supply. Through the installation of the improvements noted it is expected that 300 or 400 inches more water can be obtained, which will be an abundance, and then perhaps outsiders may be supplied. The board of trustees are good business men, serve without pay, are doing the best they can, and should be given every encouragement. R. Evans of the oil field region was relating his experiences in the Panama canal zone Tuesday. He worked on the big ditch six years during its construction and came home in good health, although thousands of men died on the works. At the beginning of the work, he said, men died so suddenly that it became the custom on awakening in the morning to shake his bedfellow to see if he was still alive. The Americans, he said, withstood the climate better than the foreigners, only 1900 of them dying while thousands of the South Americans succumbed to the heat and disease germs. Charles Osborne, agent for the American Fruit Distributors of California, reports shipping eleven carloads of potatoes from this section last week. There will be large shipments also this week, and the season will continue for several weeks.

This family should take the blue ribbon at an old folks' show. F. B. Keallher is erecting a chill warehouse-west of the Vegetable Union packing house at Garden Grove. It will be a brick structure 40x75 feet. Work was begun last week. The acreage planted to chill is 2500 acres California Mexican chill, 1500 acres California long green chill. Most of these two varieties will be dried there and shipped. Also there are 1500 acres of pimentos which will be shipped to canneries. Mr. Keallher has a chill grinder at Anaheim. About 25 per cent of this entire acreage is planted by J. Allen Knapp and will be handled through his own warehouses. He is the largest individual chill grower in the United States. Angel Basquez of Buena Park was ordered held to answer for trial in the superior court on a charge of burglaring the home of Jose Aguirre at Talbert. Marcel Senas, and S. Yagi, the latter a Jap, testified that they saw Basquez at the Aguirre home during Aguirre's absence. Senas said he saw Basquez throw away an old hat. When Basquez was arrested he wore a hat identified by Aguirre as belonging to him. The erratic action of the electric lights Sunday evening was a source of annoyance to many people who did not care to retire at nine o'clock. The lights winked out shortly before nine, and by the time people succeeded in digging a kerosene lamp or a candle out of the darkness they flashed on again. This happened so frequently that most folks gave up in disgust and went to bed. Anaheim was not alone in this as all of Orange county and most of Southern California was in darkness a portion of the time. The electrical storm was responsible for it. Joe Hatfield, who has been laid up in a hospital at Coalinga for some Between the first and the sixth of each month hereafter Rate Collector Wallace will be stationed upon the lower floor at the entrance to the city hall on East Center street, where the light and water rates may be paid. A large safe has been purchased for use in that department where all moneys and valuable papers are to be kept. By having the office down stairs people will not have to climb the stairways to the office as heretofore, which the trustees believe will be a decided benefit. In turning down the ordinance which was aimed to make the town dry, three of the trustees looked upon the proposition as being of enough importance to allow it to be settled at the polls by the people. It is not much of a task to have the proposition placed on the ballot next November. Let the people rule. Good progress is being made in the construction of new buildings on the site of Joannes Bros. Co. for a chill pepper dryer at Buena Park. Extensive cement foundations are already laid and it is expected all will be in readiness when the chill picking is on. Large acreages of peppers are being planted in that locality. Charles D. Smith of Fullerton was so unforunate on Friday to have his wrist broken. While in the act of cranking his machine the shaft flew backward and struck the right wrist fracturing the small bones. It may be several weeks before Mr. Smith will be able to use his hand again. Arthur Turck dropped off Saturday on his way from San Francisco to San Diego and visited his parents, Mr. and Mrs. E. R. Turck for a day. Arthur enlisted in the navy several months ago, and has recently been raised to the rank of ensign. He is now stationed at San Diego.

Kenyon Lybarger has received word from her husband that he will receive a 20-day furlough about the 6th of this month and will arrive here the 9th, to spend his furlough with relatives and friends. A G Wright is making good prog- Charles Osborne, agent for the American Fruit Distributors of California, reports shipping eleven carloads of potatoes from this section last week. There will be large shipments also this week, and the season will continue for several weeks. The following registrants, because they have been married since the 18th day of May, 1917, have been reclassified by the local board, all being placed in Class I, Division X, a new subdivision which has been created for classifying cases of this nature: Parker H. Startz, Rexburg, Idaho, formerly of Class 2B; Charles A. McKinley, Los Angeles, Class 4A; Clair C. Palmiter, Huntington Beach, Class 4A; Paul R. Stuck, Santa Ana R. D. Class 4A; McDowell A. Gorton, Anaheim, Class 2B; Harry E. Des Granges, Class 2B; Mast V. Hayes, Anaheim, Class 2B; Charles W. Srotte, Covina, Class 2B. Every now and then the question comes up about changing this city from the sixth to the fifth class, it is said before that can be attempted a population of 6000 inhabitants must be contained within the limits. Anaheim now boasts about 5200. The town is growing and it is not at all unlikely that the proposition will take concrete form one of these days, if all the knockers will bury their hammers. Some weeks ago this city passed an ordinance making it unlawful to keep fruit and vegetables in open containers, exposed to files and other insects. What's the latest regarding that particular safeguard to health and happiness? The Anaheim band goes to Seal Beach today where it will take part in the Fourth of July celebration. Many Anaheim people will celebrate the Glorious Fourth at that popular resort. Mr. and Mrs. William Gast of Santa Monica, August Gast of the battle-ship Oregon, and Mrs. Diess were visiting with Mr. and Mrs. John Ziegler a couple of days last week. Dr. J. W.

Anaheim was not alone in this as all of Orange county and most of Southern California was in darkness a portion of the time. The electrical storm was responsible for it.

He states that his son, Sergeant Floyd Hatfield, who has been in camp on the Atlantic coast left on the 21st of June for France. Mr. and Mrs. Ralph McFadden, Mr. and Mrs. Fred Backs, Jr., and Miss Winifred Metrose attended the theater in Los Angeles last Friday evening. Mr. and Mrs. Peter Stoffel have received word from their son, Peter, Jr., who has been in France for some time, that he has been in the front line trenches two different times. He is very much pleased with the life and says it is very interesting. Mrs. Isabella Hahn writes to this office that she has changed her address to 811 Pine avenue, Long Beach, and she looks anxiously for the Gazette each week. Mrs. Hahn has been much interested in the war savings stamps drive in Anaheim, as she is purchasing her certificates here instead of at Long Beach. She is also much interested in the proposed cemetery improvement. Clyde Webb who is stationed at Camp Kearny expects to be home for a few days over the Fourth. Mr. and Mrs. William Gast of Santa Monica, August Gast of the battle ship Oregon, and Mrs. Dless were visiting with Mr. and Mrs. John Ziegler a couple of days last week. Dr. J. W.

Anderson and Miss Netta Schultz, both of this city, were married at Buffalo, N.Y., on June 29. Mr. Anderson is an instructor in the Curtis aeroplane factory. The young couple will make their home at Buffalo for the present. Fred Gresswell has dismantled his water works at Sonoratown and the two hundred inhabitants thereof are being supplied by the sugar factory. Mr. Gresswell has frequently endeavored to get city water piped to his suburban settlement, but always failed. A number of Anaheim people attended a party at the home of Mr. and Mrs. D. J. Bastanchury north of Fullerton Wednesday evening. The party was given in honor of Leo Depweg, brother of Mrs. Bastanchury, who has enlisted in the navy and was leaving shortly for the training camp. The party was held on the beautiful lawn, but a portion of the evening was spent in the house where dancing was indulged in. Most of the guests were from Fullerton, those from Anaheim being Mr. and Mrs. J. J. Burkhart, Mr. and Mrs. M. B. Tomblin, Mr. and Mrs. William Heger, Mr. and Mrs. V. W. Hannum and Johnny Miller. Semi-Annual Garment Clearance NOW ON Every Coat, Suit and Dress Radically Reduced Falkenstein's Department Store REDUCED Falkenstein's Department Store DESTRUCTIVE LIGHTENING Two large oil tanks at El Segundo were struck by lightning and exploded early Monday morning. Workmen and firemen from Inglewood, Hermosa Beach and Redondo Beach worked desperately to prevent the flames from reaching other tanks and nearby buildings. The tanks are owned by the Standard Oil company. Both were of 55,000 barrel capacity, one containing distillate and the other crude oil. At La Brea, lightning also struck an oil derrick, setting fire to the derrick and the oil issuing from the well. The oil burned for three hours after the derrick was destroyed. The lighting visiting the oil fields was part of the freak storm, starting late Sunday, continuing all night and all forenoon Monday. This is the first storm of the kind in Southern California in 20 years and the first in July since the weather bureau was established in 1877, according to Weather Observr Carpenter. Interurban traffic on the northern division of the Pacific Electric system was paralyzed early Monday when a lightning bole struck the Ramona sub station and damaged the lines between Vineland and Ramona. Car service to San Bernardino, Redlands and Pomona was stopped. A .01 inch rainfall was recorded in Los Angeles Monday, and for half an hour in the forenoon, there was a heavy downpour, preceded by heavy thunder and lightning.
