STORE EL MODENA MOTORCYCLIST A number of Mrs. Garrison's pupils EL MODENA MOTORCYCLIST INSTANTLY KILLED Machine Collides with Telephone Pole, Crushing his Head. Leon Vasquez of El Modena was instantly killed Thursday morning about 11:30 o'clock when his motorcycle collided with a telephone pole at the corner of Prospect avenue and East Chapman street at McPherson, east of Orange. Vasquez's head struck the pole and was crushed. He was 34 years old and an orange picker by occupation. Vasquez was riding west on Chapman on his motorcycle, and, according to Otto Rohrs, the only witness, Vasquez was going at a high rate of speed. Rohrs was driving a light car with a trailer. He approached the intersection from the north. Almost upon the intersection, Rohrs looking east saw the motorcycle approaching rapidly, and satisfied that the motorcycle rider could not slow down to give Rohrs his right of way. Rohrs made a quick turn to his right, keeping on his right side of the street. From the tracks, examined by officers after the accident, it was easily seen that the motorcyclist had plenty of room to have passed on the south side of the intersection. However, Vasquez evidently expecting to have to swing further to the south than was necessary, swerved entirely off the street and he struck a telephone pole on the south side of the street. There was a distance of fifteen feet between the tracks of Rohr's machine and the tracks made by the motorcycle. The soil survey of the Anaheim area of California has just been issued by the Bureau of Soils at Washington. The Anaheim area comprises all of Orange county and portions of Los Angeles and San Bernardino. A copy of the work, which includes a large map A number of Mrs. Garrison's pupils gave her a surprise party at the school on Thursday afternoon in honor of their promotion to the Grammar school. Refreshments of cake and punch were provided by the mothers of whom Mrs. H. M. Adams, Mrs. H. A. Johnston, Mrs. F. A. Backs, Jr., and Mrs. Henry Kuchel were present to serve the goodies. Those invited were the teachers of the primary and kindergarten schools and Mrs. Garrison's class. Bert Kuebler has just finished installing a modern pump for Walter Mickle on his ranch in the Katella district. Some difficulty was experienced in getting the pump to do satisfactory work owing to the continuous bubbling of the water, which at first was thought to be caused by a leakage, but upon a more thorough inspection the difficulty was attributable to gas. Attorney Walter Eden has just received word that his son, John R. Eden, has been given a commission as major and is now on his way home from France. Major Eden started in the officers' training camp where he won a commission as second lieutenant. He was made first lieutenant before going across, and was awarded a captaincy for distinguished service in battle. A representative of the United States Aerial Transportation Company was in Anaheim last week endeavoring to interest local people in his company. It is proposed to make this city a station on the line and build a landing place here. The company wants to sell $25,000 worth of stock to our citizens. With beans selling rapidly at 8.5 cents per pound, the lima bean pool directors at a meeting Saturday decided to hold the remainer of the crop. There was a distance of fifteen feet between the tracks of Rohr's machine and the tracks made by the motorcycle. The soil survey of the Anaheim area of California has just been issued by the Bureau of Soils at Washington. The Anaheim area comprises all of Orange county and portions of Los Angeles and San Bernardino. A copy of the work, which includes a large map of the area has been sent to this office through the courtesy of Congressman Kettner, and we have also received a letter from Senator Johnson in which he says: "I am informed by the Department of Agriculture that the report of the soil survey of the Anaheim area is now ready for distribution. I have taken the liberty of asking the department to send a supply of these reports to you. I shall appreciate your cooperation in the distribution of them to individuals who may be interested." The books have not yet been received at this office, but announcement will be made as soon as they arrive. Sheriff Wilson of Riverside is confident he has learned the identity of the man who shot Audell Carrillo, member of the Yorba family, at Praido, last Monday, and expects to hear of the assailant's arrest at any moment. The victim of the shooting was buried in the family plot at Yorba Thursday. Sheriff Wilson has information to the effect that the shot which resulted in young Carrillo's death was fired by Alfredo Azuna, a young Mexican who served a six months' sentence in the Riverside county jail in 1917 for a shooting at Blythe. With beans selling rapidly at 8.5 cents per pound, the lima bean pool directors at a meeting Saturday decided to hold the remainder of the crop, some seventy carloads, until the bean market clears up in such shape that the seventy car loads will have a clear field and probably a higher price. There has been a big change in the bean market since the formation of the pool two months ago. At that time beans could not be sold at any price. The association and independents got together, and by fixing a price with a guarantee that the price would not be lowered, eastern brokers were encouraged to buy. The first price was 6.75 cents per pound. Prices have been raised at various times. When beans were at eight cents, forty-two cars were sold. The officers and employees of Orange County will hold a picnic at Orange County Park on Saturday, June 7, 1919.. All employees of the county and their families are expected to be present and should gather at the Court House at 1:30 p.m. and go in a body to the park. Six o'clock dinner will be served by Sheriff Jackson and a corps of assistants (50¢ each for adults). All those expecting to attend should call the Sheriff's office on or before Thursday morning, June 5 and report the number in their party so that preparations can be made for all. Local Notes Doom of the fake townsite project, which in various counties has victimized widows and orphans and men of modest means is sounded in assembly bill No. 235, passed at the institution of County Assessor E. J. Gilbert of San Bernardino. As the result of his study of assessment records and the grief that several tracts have caused, Gilbert wrote the legislators asking that a bill be passed that would forever make impossible such land fakes. The bill provides that before the tract can be sold in lots the county surveyor and county assessor must first certify that it is as represented. Mrs. B. M. Rhodes, hostess of the Poinsetta hotel at Laguna Beach, didn't like the idea of the high cost of building materials. She wanted a hotel building at Laguna. She had a hotel at El Toro, a building of 12 rooms, but that was 16 miles away. Contractors agreed to move the building for $750. The state highway commission then objected, fearing the roadway would be damaged. To meet this obstacle the contractors put up a bond for $1000 and the work proceeded. The building is 78 feet long and 30 feet wide and it weighs 60 tons. The building was elevated and four mammoth trucks were placed in position, and after four days' work the structure was landed in Laguna. The championship of the Oratorical and Debating league of Southern California will be determined Friday evening, June 6, at Anaheim High School, when the debating teams of Hollywood and San Diego schools will meet to debate the question, "Resolved, That a plan similar to that of the Whitley councils would be the most practical Anaheim and Fullerton-Elks to the number of 30 or 40, with officers and committees were entertained recently at the ranch home of Thomas McFadden of Pacentia. The affair was in the nature of a farewell to the outgoing administration and a welcome to the new officers. The sumptuous dinner was served in an especially erected building. During the evening Herman P. Noll, past exalted ruler, was presented with a token of friendship from the lodge, softhing he can use on his trip to Atlantic City, where he will represent the lodge at the Elks' conclave. John Selinger has invested in a fine new automobile, and is now looking up the latest dope on speed limits. Ben Kraemer was in town from Placentia Saturday transacting business. He recently received a letter from his brother, Jonathan, stating that he had purchased property at Brownsville, Texas, and was now living on the American side of the Rio Grande. He will probably return to Mexico some day after the bandits and rebels are all killed off—if that happy day ever arrives. Billy Franz is going to do his bit toward furnishing homes for the homeless. He is preparing to erect a bungalow court containing ten four-room apartments on Santa Fe street, between Chartres and Cypress. If the demand for houses continues after these have been filled up he will construct a similar court on adjoining lots. Unless his plans miscarry work will begin on the houses without delay. A revival meeting is now in progress at the Christian church in charge of Evangelist Wilhite. Much interest is being manifested in the services. Personal Mention Mr. and Mrs. E. E. Brus and Mr. and Mrs. M. W. Martenet were visiting at Laguna Friday. Mr. and Mrs. John Cooke and Mr. and Mrs. Johnson spent the week end at Laguna Beach.

McCord will attend the meeting of the State Bankers' Association at Catalina Island Thursday, Friday and Saturday of this week. Wayne Goble ofthe Register, who is devoting the week to assisting in the enlightenment of the voters on the benefits to be derived by the establishment of a county harbor, was in town Tuesday. Prof. J. F. Walker, formerly principal of the Anaheim high school, but The championship of the Oratorical and Debating league of Southern California will be determined Friday evening, June 6, at Anaheim High School, when the debating teams of Hollywood and San Diego schools will meet to debate the question, "Resolved, That a plan similar to that of the Whitley councils would be the most practical means to develop co-operation between capital and labor in the United States." Anaheim, which fell one point short of becoming a contestant for the championship honors, was selected as the debating ground because of the high record made by local debaters. In the coming debate San Diego will take the affirmative and Hollywood the negative. H. F. H. Schneider, who recently disposed of his property at Sycamore and East streets, has purchased the W. W. LeDué ranch, which consists of 14½ acres, set to Valencias. Mr. LeDuc has purchased a ten-acre ranch two miles east of town of S. G. Lehner. This is also in Valencias. It is understood that both these properties sold at a high figure, Mr. Schneider paying in the neighborhood of $50,000 and Mr. LeDuc about $40,000 for his ten acres. Ferris Snavely, who has been working for John Cook, was a member of the Lost Battalion that fought so heroically in the Argonne. He states that Ernest Kellogg of Santa Ana, who belonged to the battalion, and whose fate has always been a mystery, was killed by a rifle bullet through his head. He saw him afterward, and says that Kellogg was not blown to pieces nor mutilated. Robert Bandini, the mechanician who was riding with Louis LeCocq in the Indianapolis races, and was burned to death by the overturning of the car, was a nephew of John Bandini, formerly of Anaheim. LeCocq and Bandini were both cremated. The old Boston Bakery building at the corner of Center and North Claudina streets is to come down and make way for a modern structure. Stephen Kistler, owner of the place, has arranged to build a two story business apartments on Santa Fe street, between Chartres and Cypress.

A revival meeting is now in progress at the Christian church in charge of Evangelist Wilhite. Much interest is being manifested in the services. People woke up Monday morning to a realization that good old summer time was here. Panama hats and duck suits, that had been laid away in moth balls were unearthed and merchants did a rushing business in all articles for summer wear. Mr. and Mrs. Arthur Johnson of 314 East Amerige avenue, Fullerton, on Sunday accompanied Mr. and Mrs. John S. Kidd of Brea to Orange County Park in Mr. Kidd's auto. It had been about eight months since Mr. Johnson had visited the park, and he was sorry to notice that the water in the artificial lake was receding quite rapidly and filling with moss. He was not long, however, in being convinced of the cause of the water receding when he saw a muskrat swimming about. Mr. Johnson says that the muskrat builds his home in the bottom of a lake and digs to the gravel. He recommends that the lake be drained dry and the muskrats smoked out. In this manner a proper depth of water could therefore be maintained without difficulty. A map of the proposed Orange county harbor together with a description of the same, will be found on the eighth page of this paper. Study it and get better acquainted with this valuable improvement that is offered the people of the county. The "Cut Rate Store" is the name of a new mercantile establishment recently opened up by J. Greenberg in the Kister building. Mr. Greenberg deals in new and used clothing for both ladies and gentlemen, and is offering some rare bargains. He announces a grand opening for Saturday of this week, announcement of which, together with some prices, will be found elsewhere in this paper. Wayne Goble o fthe Register, who is devoting the week to assisting in the enlightenment of the voters on the benefits to be derived by the establishment of a county harbor, was in town Tuesday. Prof. J. F. Walker, former principal of the Anaheim high school, but now a member of the Arizona State Normal faculty, accompanied by his family, came in Sunday on a visit to friends and relatives here. Dad Kennedy left Tuesday morning on a visit to his old home near Pittsburg, Pa. He goes by way of the Southern states, stopping at New Orleans and Washington, probably visiting New York. He will return by way of Chicago , Denver, and San Francisco. A farewell party was given in honor of Miss Dorothy Swope by Misses Jeannette and Johanna Jessurun a few evenings ago. After spending a pleasant evening in dancing and playing games the young people went to the home of Miss Emma Owens where refreshments were served. Miss Dorothy will leave for her home in Hollywood at the close of the high school term. Gerald Whitaker is expected home this week from France. He received his discharge some days ago, but wanted to see little old New York before returning to the West. His brother Loring, who reached home some weeks ago, but is now at Visalia, is also coming down to see the old folks and swap stories with Gerald on their experiences in France. There is some talk of a country club being formed for Northern Orange county that will draw its membership from Anaheim, Fullerton, Brea, Placentia, Buena Park and all other points in the north end of the county. People of all communities, it is said, favor the organization, and if some one takes the lead and starts it a large membership is assured. The decision of the United States Supreme Court, according to the press dispatches, places the entire responsibility for telephone rates in the hands The old Boston Bakery building at the corner of Center and North Claudina streets is to come down and make way for a modern structure. Stephen Kistler, owner of the place, has arranged to build a two story business block on the corner which will cover the ground occupied by the bakery and the frame building adjoining in which the Tobin realty office is situated. Work begins this week. The commanding officer of March Field has now been given authority to transport men applying for enlistment in airplanes to March Field where the enlistment can be completed.

Any applicant desiring to be transported to the field for enlistment in this manner has only to notify the commanding officer, March Field, Riverside, either by telephone, letter or post card, and upon receipt of notification an airplane will be sent for him. Major B. T. Beale was recently elected colonel of the Third Regiment Uniform Rank, Knights of Pythias, and now has command of that body from Santa Barbara to the Mexican line. There are two regiments in California, one in the north and one in the south, and Anaheim is now headquarters for the southern regiment. The "Cut Rate Store" is the name of a new mercantile establishment recently opened up by J. Greenberg in the Kistler building. Mr. Greenberg deals in new and used clothing for both ladies and gentlemen, and is offering some rare bargains. He announces a grand opening for Saturday of this week, announcement of which, together with some prices, will be found elsewhere in this paper. EXCISE TAXES In an important notice to all persons liable for excise taxes, Elmer B. Burns, deputy internal revenue collector, says: "The Form 728 which is now being received by persons in various lines of trade is to be used only for reporting the amount of tax for which a person is liable for the months of March and April, respectively, as manufacturer only and does not apply in any manner to the tax on sodas, ice cream, etc., which became effective May 1st, 1919, and for which a special form will be furnished to be filled and reported during the month of June, 1919. "The manufacturer's excise taxes under Title IX, Section 900, Act of 1918, became effective February 26, 1919, and return of report should be made whether or not any tax is due. “If not liable for the tax on anything manufactured during the month to which the form applies, make statement to this effect on the form and return the same properly executed. Where an amount is due, so indicate opposite the article to which the amount or amounts apply and enclose remittance for the total sum called for.” The decision of the United States Supreme Court, according to the press dispatches, places the entire responsibility for telephone rates in the hands of Postmaster General Burleson. The California Railroad Commission can do nothing further in the matter of rates until the present status is changed by congress or otherwise. This commission exhausted every effort to maintain its jurisdiction as the rate fixing power. The decision, coming as it does from the high court, is final. It disposes of the two actions brought in this state by the commission in its efforts to prevent the enforcement of the Burleson rate fixing order. The decision will have little effect on the work of the commission. It does not bear upon the jurisdiction of the commission in the matter of rates and service of the other public utilities operating in the state, of which there are very close to 2000 entirely under the jurisdiction of the Railroad Commission.

May 8-5t VOTE FOR THE BONDS Many people are indifferent regarding the harbor bond proposition because, they claim, they are not posted on the subject. Nobody needs to be enlightened as to details to know that a lasting public improvement, such as a harbor for ocean-going ships is going to be a great and permanent benefit to the people who live and own property within a few miles of it. Everybody knows that the harbor will increase the value of real estate throughout the county, develop and help the growth of cities, add millions of dollars to the taxable property of the county and thousands to its population. You don't need to be posted on details to know that this will benefit you. You may not have taken the trouble to study the question, but the entire business interests of the county are solidly behind the move. All the leading business men have thoroughly investigated and give the harbor their unqualified endorsement. They see great possibilities ahead for this county as a result of its establishment. If you haven't made a full investigation you can take their word for it that the harbor is a good thing for the county and we cannot afford to turn it down. The cost is so rediculous that it need not be considered. Only 45 cents per year for each thousand dollars of assessment. Think of it. Vote for the bonds. GEN. COXEY ON DECK Foreseeing that another period of unemployment like that of the Cleveland administration and the first two years of the Wilson administration is about to prevail, General Coxey, who rode up to the Capitol at the head of a large following of hoboes 25 years ago, is here again to tell Congress how to get work for everybody. The General has prepared a bill, introduced by Representative Sherwood a sterling old Democrat of Ohio, which is calculated to work like magic and WANTED. Ranch work by experienced man with tractor.
