INVITE PATRONS TO DISCUSS SCHOOLS TRUSTEES OF GRAMMAR DISTRICT WILL FIX DATE FOR THE GATHERING Spirited Contest Tomorrow for Both Grammar and High School Trustees. Long before our entry into the war it was conceded by everybody that the school buildings of Anaheim were inadequate and inconvenient, and the Central building was unsafe. While we were engaged in the war the question was not agitated, but now that building restraint is removed, people are beginning to take thought of the comfort of their children, and there is a movement on foot to bring the matter before the voters and let them decide whether or not they want adequate, comfortable and safe school quarters for their children. for the job. It is a three cornered race for one vacancy, and the winning candidate will not have a walk-away. NEW LEADER MONDELL URGES CO-OPERATION Says Republicans Will Attempt to Act in Harmony With Executive in Framing Laws. Full co-operation of the Republican Congress with the Democratic executive branch of the government in promoting legislation for the interests of the people, rather than aggressive bickering, will be the policy of those in control of the House in the next Congress if Representative Frank W. Mondell, of Wyoming, the newly chosen majority leader, can bring it about. The Western man will also be chairman of the Steering Committee, composed of himself and Moore, of Pennsylvania; Madden, of Illinois; Dunn, of New York; Longworth, of Ohio, and Winslow, of Massachusetts. This body will, with the Rules Committee, take over much of the general powers of shaping the course of legislation formerly held by the speaker. Though reared on a farm and left an orphan at six, Mondell became successful in mercantile pursuits, stock-raising, mining and railway construction, and then he was elected twelve times. FAVORS SHELL IN TO THE KEEN SIGHTED CITY PRACTICAL SUGC GARDING NEW SUPPLY Gravitation Basis For Why City Should Serve Territory, Putting Municipal Basket.

While we were engaged in the war the question was not agitated, but now that building restraint is removed, people are beginning to take thought of the comfort of their children, and there is a movement on foot to bring the matter before the voters and let them decide whether or not they want adequate, comfortable and safe school quarters for their children. A mass meeting of persons interested in schools is to be called by the trustees at the Fremont building for the purpose of discussing the various propositions and especially the question of erecting a new building for the Central school. Everybody having children in the Anaheim schools is interested in this matter and should attend the meeting. The Central building, which is more than a quarter of a century old, has been twice condemned by the grand jury, consequently there must be something radically wrong with it. It is unfair to your children to compel them to attend school in a building that is not considered as safe as modern skill can make it and which is not supplied with up-to-date conveniences. Besides the Central school proposition the matter of erecting new buildings on both the east and west side will undoubtedly be discussed. West-siders want a kindergarten and primary built in the vicinity of the Fremont school arguing that it is unsafe for the little folks to cross Los Angeles street in busy hours of the day in order to reach the Broadway school, while the Eastsiders want a building in their end of town, because their children are compelled to cross the Santa Fe tracks to reach the school and it is dangerous for them to do so unattended. The school board will meet tonight for the purpose of fixing a date for the district meeting. In the matter of the coming election for trustee there is something of a contest on, perhaps because there hasn't been an election in Anaheim for some months and people are anxious to exercise the right of franchise again. William Chambers is the retiring member of the board and is a candidate for re-election, but C. E. Chamberlain has been put up as an opponent. Both these gentlemen are excellent pieces of timber, both are progressive and favor new schools. A well known citizen a reference in this journal plan for the entire city water works, makes that it would be a good well in the northeast city, thereby gaining city for the flow of water by so doing the city putting all its eggs in one area many old time realtions that the power plants should have been located to the east or northeast of location was made years ago.

There are several matters now engaging the city trustees and ferred to is of especi ever all these things for trustee there is something of a contest on, perhaps because there hasn't been an election in Anaheim for some months and people are anxious to exercise the right of franchise again. William Chambers is the retiring member of the board and is a candidate for re-election, but C. E. Chamberlain has been put up as an opponent. Both these gentlemen are excellent pieces of timber, both are progressive and favor new schools. Mr. Chambers has served twelve years on the board, the last nine years as clerk, and nobody can oppose him because of his official actions. He has always favored progress in the schools to the fullest extent. Mr. Chamberlain is familiar with duties of a school trustee as he served six years on the board at Pasadena. He is an emphatic advocate of more and better school buildings, and no doubt would favor the Westside proposition as he is supported by the people of that end of town. As the east has a man on the board the westerners think they should be favored likewise. At the eleventh hour it is announced that G. A. Waterman of South Los Angeles street has declared himself a candidate, making the fight a three cornered one. There is something of a contest also in the election for a high school trustee which will be held on the same day. Ell Sparks is the retiring member, but his friends want him to remain on the board, consequently he will stand for re-election. Archie Henry of Loara has been put forward as a candidate representing that district. Mr. Henry has served on the board and on other school boards, always with satisfaction, and will make a strong race. Katella also thinks that district is entitled to a man on the board and has put up Herbert F. Clark The problems before us are so highly important and the situation with regard to many activities of the nation are such that it is imperative that an extra session be called at a reasonably early date to consider urgent matters of legislation and appropriation. The railroad situation is among those requiring prompt attention and consideration, and it is exceedingly necessary that we should make further provision for the early discharge of our soldiers and for their return as quickly as possible to favorable opportunities in civil life." Representative Harold Knutson, of Minnesota, a former newspaper man, president o f the Northern Minnesota Editorial Association and a live wire, entering upon his second term, has been chosen party whip in the House and will henceforth be in charge of rounding up his colleagues for roll calls. This is the office formerly held in the days of "Uncle Joe" Cannon's regime by now Senator "Jim" Watson, of Indiana. As the committee assignments have been equally and satisfactorily distributed, it is the belief of the Republican leaders that the machinery of the House for the 66th Congress is now so perfected as to produce not only effective and progressive legislation for the solution of every pressing problem, but so as to make for celerity and ease of procedure. The Woman's Victory Loan Committee of Anaheim consists of Mrs. Ida Dulton, chairman, Mrs. R. L. Coons, Mrs. H. O. Henderson Mrs. J. A. Clayes, Mrs G. A. Gifford and Miss Annie Crawford.

A well known citizen, after reading a reference in this journal to a tentative plan for the enlargement of the city water works, makes a suggestion that it would be a good idea to sink a well in the northeast section of the city, thereby gaining the natural gravity for the flow of water. And further by so doing the city would not be putting all its eggs in one basket. There are many old time residents who aver that the power plant and equipment should have been located somewhere the contest will start probably at 9 o'clock on April 24. Drivers, mechanics, observers and entrants will be entertained at a banquet the night of contest at which time the prizes will be awarded. A large cash prize and silver cups will be given the winners, while a cash prize will go to the second and third place cars in each event. J. D. Gentry of San Bernardino will be referee, Al G. Waddell of Oakland, starter; Leon A. Atwood of San Bernardino, clerk of the course. LARGE CROWDS WITNESS WILD ANIMAL CIRCUS Al G. Barnes Show was Good, According to Those Who Attended. The Al G. Barnes Wild Animal Circus was favored by the weather man on its visit to Anaheim Monday. In contrast with the weather when this show made its last previous appearance here, the day was a pleasant one, consequently the show was given in its entirety. Large audiences greeted both the afternoon and evening performances, and all who attended claim the exhibition was a good one. The Barnes show is unique from others inasmuch as it has no menagerie exhibition, and yet its circus performers are all animals. Many of the ferocious bears of the jungle have been brought LOCAL COMPANY IS DRILLING FOR OIL ANAHEIM-FULLERTON BUSINESS MEN SECURE VALUABLE PROPERTY IN NEW FIELD Riverbank Company Purchases 43 Acres and Leases 360.—Test Well Already Being Sunk. Activity in new territory has been stimulated by the great oil strike in the Chapman wildcat well. Leases are being snapped up by the big companies and land values are soaring. It is the general belief now that the oil sand extends much farther than has hitherto been suspected, and as a result numerous experimental wells will probably be sunk. The Riverbank Oil Company, a new corporation, has just been organized by Anaheim and Fullerton business men, and already a well is being drilled on its property. The company is totaling 28 Williams acres leased over.

Coast rout A well known citizen, after reading a reference in this journal to a tentative plan for the enlargement of the city water works, makes a suggestion that it would be a good idea to sink a well in the northeast section of the city, thereby gaining the natural gravity for the flow of water. And further by so doing the city would not be putting all its eggs in one basket. There are many old time residents who aver that the power plant and equipment should have been located somewhere to the east or northeast when a change of location was made a number of years ago. It is very evident that this city will have to provide more domestic water and that in the not far distant future. It is anticipated that during the coming summer there may be a shortage, owing to the constantly increasing demand for the commodity. As was pointed out last week, should any unforeseen accident occur to the main pipe leading away from the present water plant a serious condition of affairs would confront the city. It has been suggested that the large water mains be extended to the east, from which laterals could diverge to many parts of the city, thereby relieving the peak load upon the present main. The city council now has this matter under consideration and are also viewing with favor the sinking of another well and installing a new pump. This is going to cost a tidy sum of money but it is very necessary that a larger supply of water be provided. The idea of creating a new water unit to the north-east is a good one and there are many citizens who believe the suggestion should be given consideration. Gravitation is a very essential point to be given attention when providing a water supply, and the natural incline enjoyed here from east to west is a condition to be much appreciated and made available of were any further extensions made in the local water situation. While this natural incline would not in itself be sufficient for the required pressure, it would be a decided gain for efficiency in equipping a new unit in that locality. Residents in the neighborhood of East street have in the past complained of a lack of pressure in the water pipes, especially during the summer under present conditions. There are several very important matters now engaging the attention of the city trustees and the one here referred to is of especial interest. However all these things cost money and contrast with the weather when this show made its last previous appearance here, the day was a pleasant one, consequently the show was given in its entirety. Large audiences greeted both the afternoon and evening performances, and all who attended claim the exhibition was a good one. The Barnes show is unique from others inasmuch as it has no menagerie exhibition, and yet its circus performers are all animals. Many of the ferocious beasts of the jungle have been brought under subjection, and painstakingly trained to perform stunts that are marvelous. This show has its winter quarters at Venice and this was the second performance of the season, the first being at Long Beach. From here it went to Pasadena, and after spending a week or two in Southern California it will start on its summer trip to the Atlantic seaboard. Circuses are usually accompanied by a flock of thieves, fakirs and confidence men, but none of these gentry were following the Barnes show. The circus carries its own police department with it which co-operates with the local police and the people are protected as much as possible from pickockets and skin games. BIGAMIST BOUND OVER TO SUPERIOR COURT Elden I. Dodson Must Answer to the Law for His Crime. Elden I. Dodson, charged with bigamy, had his hearing before Justice Cox at Santa Ana Thursday, and was bound over to Superior Court in the sum of $900 cash which his mother who was present announced she would shortly raise and thus prevent him remaining in jail until the time fixed for his trial. The district attorney appears to have a clear case against Dodson. His wife accompanied by her baby, came down from Bakersfield and testified at the hearing that they were married in Kern county on February 6, 1917, and were not divorced. Miss Elma Fern Ramella of this city, who figures as wife No. 2, testified to her marriage to him on February 6 last, under the representation that he was a single man. Three days after the marriage she learned, through a sister of Dodson, that he had a wife living, and had not been divorced. Dodson acknowledged the previous marriage and left contrast with the weather when this show made its last previous appearance here, the day was a pleasant one, consequently the show was given in its entirety.

But now that the war is over, and a new republican congress will soon get into working harness optimism is again coming into fashion and everybody should take on that smile that won't wear off. RIM OF THE WORLD RACE At least a dozen cars in each class are expected as entries in the Rim of the World Hill Climb which will be held over the Waterman Canyon grade at San Bernardino on April 24th. There is a stir among the four-cylinder car dealers which is only exceeded by the preparation that the distributors for cars of six cylinders and over are making, for those are the two classifications that have been made for the contest. The last hill climb was won by the Hudson Super Six in a fraction over 19 minutes and with a wider course at the turns and a better surface throughout, officials expect that this time will be bettered by at least two minutes. Entries will close on April 21 at midnight, places for the cars will be drawn on the night of April 23 and MEETING OF PARENTS-TEACHERS ASSOCIATION The parent-Teachers Association will hold a meeting at Fremont school at 3:30 the afternoon of Tuesday; April 1st. The program will consist of a piano solo by Miss Ethel Grace York, a duet by Agnes and Jessie Johnston, and a piano solo by Bethel Humphreys, a reading by Miss Byam Humphreys, and a reading by Miss Byam. A talk will be given by Mrs. J. N. Anderson of Santa Ana, chairman of the county legislative department for the fourth district Congress of Mothers and Parent-Teachers Association. And also a talk by Mrs. L. Morris, educational chairman for the same district. All members and friends are invited to be present. Many stories are told of high prices already offered and refused for land and leases. O. M. Thompson of Fullerton has ten acres unimproved about a mile east of the Chapman well. He paid only a few hundred dollars per acre but since the new well was brought in he says he has refused $30,000 for his place. H. H. Coyle near Yorba Linda, is reported to have been offered $15,000 for his place which is mostly set to lemons. The man who wanted to buy it said he would drill for oil at once, Mr. Coyle said. Sometimes ago J. W. Newell, near Yorba Linda, leased his land to parties who are to drill for oil, it is said Mr. Newell has been offered $57,000 for the lease. Just after oil was struck on the Chapman place William Goodwin bought five acres south of the well for $10,000. He has refused $15,000 for the property. F. R. Kellogg, president of the Richfield Oil Company, who with G. J. Symington, own a sixty-acre orange grove near Richfield adjoining the Chapman and Kraemer properties, signed up with the Standard for a bonus of $60,000 or $1000 an acre and one-sixth royalty. A $100,000 company has been organized in Santa Ana for the purpose of drilling for oil in the territory that has been made live oil territory by the bringing in of the 4000-barrel day well on the C. C. Chapman property east of Placentia. The well is to be drilled a quarter of a mile north of the Yorba school house. This property lies between the Kraemer well at Yorba and the big Chapman well. It is one of three pieces...

The Elks lodges in twenty-eight counties have taken charge of the drive. The money raised will be used to maintain and extend the home service work of the Salvation Army.

They will be entertained at Fullerton and Anaheim that evening, having rooming accommodations at Anaheim and eating at Fullerton. They will be entertained in Fullerton in the evening at a meeting of the farm center there. It is expected that there will be a large number in attendance from different parts of Orange county. On Tuesday, April 1, they will tour Orange county, visiting the various sections and inspecting the different methods of farm operations. At noon they will be guests of the farm bureau at a barbecue in Orange County Park. The Farm Bureau is making extensive plans for giving the visitors a good time. It is expected that between 150 and 200 people will be in the party. If Lieut. H. B. Gordon, comes to Santa Ana, to serve ten days in jail for speeding fifty-six miles an hour, it will have to be on order of Secretary of the Navy Daniels. Gordon was sentenced March 1 by Justice J. B. Cox. A bench warrant was issued and sent to the San Diego Sheriff for service. Friday it came back, together with a statement from naval authorities, declaring they would not turn Lieut. Gordon over to the civil authorities here without an order from the Secretary of the Navy. "It is all right with me," said Justice Cox. "I did my duty. One thing is a cinch, and that is that the next time you know what to do. Personally, I can't see why an army or navy officer has any more right to menace the lives of the travelling public than have other people." "There has been some surplus sympathy and charity turned loose later," said W. S. Gregg, county aid commissioner. "There have been some cases in which criticism has been offered the county because aid was not drive this week for home service funds. The State's quota is $822,000. San Francisco will raise $275,000 and Los Angeles $265,000. The Elks lodges in twenty-eight counties have taken charge of the drive. The money raised will be used to maintain and extend the home service work of the Salvation Army. It will be used to support the thirty-three centers where Salvation Army corps are located, where relief squadrons are ready day and night to answer calls of the poor and needy, erect needed buildings in San Francisco, Los Angeles, Santa Ana, Riverside and Long Beach, support the Lytton home for boys and girls, maintain two rescue and maternity homes in Oakland and Los Angeles where young mothers can go in their extremity, support five men's industrial homes, woodyards, relief stations, prison work and care for all the varied activities of the Salvationists. The Anaheim Elks have undertaken to raise $2500 of this sum. The northern half of Orange county is the field in which they work. Considering the large population and enormous wealth of this territory, twenty-five hundred dollars is an insignificant sum for the local lodge to raise, and the people should see to it that this quota is at least doubled. The campaign is being managed by a committee of Elks composed of M. C. Goff, R. J. McFadden and J. R. Carhart. Eleven captains have been appointed, each captain selecting a number of lieutenants to help in the drive. The captains are B. Hartfield, H. P. Noll, Joe Wagner, H. M. Adams, D. Jessurun of Anaheim, J. R. Carhart, Fullerton, J. A. Fay, Buena Park, Fred Zeppenfeld, Brea, T. L. McFadden, Placentia, B. F. Yorba, Olive — Glazier, La Habra and J. C. O'Connor, Los Alamitos. Most people have read something of what the Salvation Army accomplished during the war. Wherever the soldier boys went representatives of this society went with them unafraid and ministered to their wants. No place was too dangerous for them. Men and women risked their lives to help the boys on the firing line, and many died. The doughnut girl was always found where she was the most needed, and the hungry soldier was always fed whether he could pay or not. Vast sums were subscribed for other societies, but the Salvation Army carried on with little encouragement and a lean treasury. This society now commands respect where it used to meet with jeers and insult, Fullerton has about a mile well.

Henning pleaded guilty to a charge of having left his family destitute. The judge ordered that sentence be withheld for a year. The probation order instructs Henning to keep away from dance halls. This ends the Henning hearing. No criminal complaint was made against Mrs. Alling, who was with Henning when he was arrested at San Luis Obispo. There has been some surplus sympathy and charity turned loose later," said W. S. Gregg, county aid commissioner. "There have been some cases in which criticism has been offered the county because aid was not given. In every case the county was giving adequate aid, but the neighbors did not know it and the person receiving aid did not tell it. In each of the cases I speak of, the neighbors got together a purse for the family they thought needed aid, and then wondered why the county had not done something. In each case the county had given all the aid necessary. When a case of what appears to be help needed arises in a neighborhood it would be well before taking up the collection, for one of the neighbors to telephone to the county aid commissioner and find out if the case is being cared for by the county." The Salvation Army never sleeps, and never finds a place too vile or too dangerous to work in. When the war broke out the members did not camouflage a yellow streak with a mantle of conscience. They flocked into the danger zone and did what they could to help our armies win the war. They asked little of the people who were subscribing so generously to other funds, and they received little. Most of their money was accumulated by nickles and pennies, but it was all used where it would accomplish the most for the amount expended. Never was a cause more worthy of support. This society has no grafters in its ranks and it pays no high salaries. The members work for a bare subsistence, and every dollar subscribed to it is spent for the purpose for which it was given—for the relief of those who need and deserve relief, and for the uplift of unfortunates who have fallen by the wayside. If you want to give substantial testimony of your appreciation of what the Salvation Army did, for the suffering and homesick boys in France, subscribe to this fund when the Elk committee calls on you.
