MEMORIAL DAY OBSERVED BY THE ELKS H. W. BROWN OF SANTA MONICA, DELIVERS AN ELOQUENT EULOGY ON THE DEAD Several Hundred People Attended the Open Services at New Grand Theatre.—Five Members of Anaheim Lodge Have Passed On. In every lodge of Elks in the United States memorial services in honor of departed members was held Sunday afternoon, and as these services were open to the public thousands of men and women outside of the lodge witnessed the beautiful ceremony. In Anaheim the service was held at the New Grand theatre, several hundred people being present. In addition to the rikers saw a particularly fine holly tree. It was well shaped and was covered with large red berries. When I returned, the tree was very nearly destroyed. Some party of people who no doubt fancied that they were lovers of the beautiful had attacked that tree. Big limbs had been broken off, stripped of the berries and left there. The tree will never again be good in shape, and the chances are that it will never again grow a good crop of berries. The limbs that were broken off ripped big gashes in the tree, and the tree may die. "Just such actions as that are a common occurrence. Much of the holly in this county is upon private ground, and it is this holly that is gradually being exterminated by automobile parties. The holly that lies further back in the mountains in the Cleveland Forest Reserve has not received quite so much rough treatment. One thing is certain, and that is that I shall make arrests of persons I find mutilating trees in the forest reserve. "The national forest officials have no objection to private parties going into the national forest after holly and taking what they want for personal use." In every lodge of Elks in the United States memorial services in honor of departed members was held Sunday afternoon, and as these services were open to the public thousands of men and women outside of the lodge witnessed the beautiful ceremony. In Anaheim the service was held at the New Grand theatre, several hundred people being present. In addition to the ritualistic ceremony several excellent musical numbers were rendered, Miss Margaret Eves opening with a piano solo. Prof. Harold Wahlberg rendered a couple of violin solos, accompanied on the piano by Louis Danz. The first one, entitled "Prayer," was written by Mr. Danz. The second, "Melodie," was by Friml. A male quartet, composed of Messrs. Bonnat, James, Barnes and Wallop, sang "The Vacant Chair." The service was under the guidance of Exalted Ruler T. L. McFadden, who was assisted by various officers of the lodge, who placed on the altar emblems of the four foundation principles of the order—Charity, Justice, Fidelity and Brotherly Love. Five members of the Elks lodge have passed on, and the services were held in their honor. They are Erwin Bayha, one of the one hundred signers of the charter, who died before the lodge was instituted, C. G. Cassidy, Maurice Boisseranc, A. V. Smith and Pierre Nicolas. Secretary Goff called the roll and reported to the Exalted Ruler that those five did not answer to their names. The Exalted Ruler answered that although absent in the flesh they were still present, as they lived forever in the memories of their brothers of the lodge. H. W. Brown of Santa Monica, former District Deputy, the man who instituted lodge No. 1345, was the orator for the occasion and delivered the eulogy. It was a masterly talk, exceedingly interesting, and gave the audience a better knowledge of the lodge, its objects and accomplishments than they had had before hearing it. He expounded and elaborated the four cardinal principles of the order—Charity, Justice, Fidelity and Brotherly Love. "The national forest officials have no objection to private parties going into the national forest after holly and taking what they want for personal use. Churches and lodges can get what they want for decoration. Anyone who goes there after holly that is to be sold must first get a permit from the forest office and must pay twenty-five cents a sack for all that is taken. "Holly that is properly gathered helps a tree. When a twig from six inches to eighteen inches in length is cut off, the chances are that it will bring out half a dozen twigs the next year, and the berries will be brighter and better for the trimming that the tree received. "The forest service realizes that thousands of people get a great deal of pleasure in gathering holly and in having holly for decorations in their homes, and it is glad that it can allow the use of the forest to gratify those desires, but we must protect the trees so that people next year and succeeding years shall have equal pleasure with theirs. For that reason all of the forest officials in the Santa Ana mountains are going to keep a sharp lookout for vandals. The prosecutions will be in the federal courts. "Unfortunately the holly trees in the lower canyons on private properties have already suffered great damage. One could hardly blame owners of the properties along the canyons if they would put up no trespasses signs. That would be hard upon the great majority of the people who do appreciate the fact that holly trees must be treated with consideration if they are to live on and continue to bear holly berries."

VANDALS DESTROYING CALIFORNIA HOLLY Forest Ranger Stephenson Says Trees Must be Protected. That scores of people who go into the nearby mountains after California holly are nothing more nor less than vandals in their treatment of the holly trees—or bushes, for the holly is small in stature—is the declaration of District Forest Ranger J. B. Stephenson of El Toro. Similar complaints hate come from lovers of trees, and more particularly lovers of the beautiful red berries of the holly, from all over the state where the holly grows. "There is only one considerate way to gather holly," said Stephenson, "and that is by cutting off twigs of holly, not limbs. In their unthinking and frantic desire to get at particularly nice berries, many people break off big limbs. I have come upon trees broken down by just such vandals. "Last week, going up into the mountains in one of the canyons, I upon the great majority of the people who do appreciate the fact that holly trees must be treated with consideration if they are to live on and continue to bear holly berries." THE EXCHANGE GRILL CHANGES ITS NAME Proprietor thinks Dew Drop Inn Cafe is a Prettler Title. Under its present name the Exchange Grill has flourished and prospered ever since its establishment nearly a year ago, but the proprietor, Fritz Kluewer, has come to the conclusion that the name is not euphonious enough. Hereafter it will be known as the Dew Drop Inn Cafe, which means that if you do drop in and sample its cuisine once you are due to drop in whenever you are hungry. Fritz has been overhauling the place again—he is always making extensions and alterations—and has been using scads of paint and oil in beautifying the room. He has invested a few hundred dollars in flowers and greenery with which he has draped the room and the cosy barrel stalls. The flowers and vines are artificial, but the birds singing among the leaves are genuine flesh and feathers. Fritz was at one time decorator in a big cafe in Paris, and he brought some French ideas across the water with him. Misses Marie and Pauline Graner of Vancouver, B.

One hundred and forty-two miles of paved road, divided among four of the supervisor districts of Orange county, were recommended by the associated chambers of commerce committee which met at the supervisors' room in the court house Wednesday afternoon. Fifty-nine miles of this road are in this, the third district, thirty-tight miles in the high school. HIGH SCHOOL NOTES An exhibit of the work done so far this year by the classes in domestic art, will be held Wednesday afternoon, December 10th, at 3:30 in the domestic art rooms of the Anaheim Union High School. The beginning class in sewing, twenty-three in number, will have a display of its work to date, which consists of three pieces of underwear they have made under the instruction of their teacher, Mrs. Mary McQuilken. The advanced class will show their work, principally millinery and smocks. In addition to this work both classes have made a great many articles of fancy work for the Christmas sale, which is to be held at the High Jinks December 13th, as well as individual Christmas gifts. Miss Belen Lopez will have a showing of the applied art done by her classes, in addition to other examples of work done in her department. The public is cordially invited to attend and see the progress made this year by the students. Monday evening the Club Español, composed of members of the Spanish classes in the A.U.F.S. held its EARLY INCIDENTS IN ANAHEIM RECALLED MISS LUCILE DICKSON LOOKING UP FILES OF THE GAZETTE FOR HISTORICAL SKETCH Pioneers Desired County Division and Railroad to Coast as Early as 1872.—The Famous Stagg-Rogers Duel. Miss Lucile Dickson, teacher of history at Polytechnic high school, was a visitor in this office on Saturday for the purpose of collecting data on the early history of Anaheim of which she is preparing an article to be read before her class some time next month. Miss Dickson is one of the best known educators in Los Angeles, and has been teacher of history at Poly high for a number of years. She looked through Necessary. One hundred and forty-two miles of paved road, divided among four of the supervisor districts of Orange county, were recommended by the associated chambers of commerce committee which met at the supervisors' room in the court house Wednesday afternoon. Fifty-nine miles of this road are in this, the third district, thirty-eight miles in the second, twenty in the fourth and twenty-five in the fifth. The first district, wholly in the city of Santa Ana, will get nothing, as county money cannot be used on streets in incorporated cities. The city of Stanton, the corporate lines of which encompass a large section of ranch land in the second district, will also get nothing unless it disincorporates, which it may do. The committee of five, representing the five supervisor districts, was composed of G. B. Shattuck, Santa Ana, W. T. Newland, Huntington Beach, Charles Eygabroad, Anabeim, Willard Smith, Orange, and F. B. Browning, Tustin. These five gentlemen will report the roads each desires in his district to the committee of twenty-five appointed by D. Eyman Huff, president of the associated chambers. It will be necessary for this committee to do considerable paring of the estimates made by the five district committeemen, as the bond issue is limited to $2,600,000 under the law, and it is probable the supervisors will not want to go above two million in the call for a bond election. The fifty-nine miles asked for in the third district are as follows: Extension of Orangethorpe avenue west to the county line, and a road from this road south to Cypress. A road from the present west end of Orangethorpe paving south to Stanton city limits, and a road parallelling this road one mile to the east. A short road east of Cypress. Ten miles of road at La Habra. A mile's extension of the Garden Grove road northward from the county road. East Orangethorpe avenue to Placentia avenue. Road at north city limits of Anaheim from state highway to Richfield. Miss Belen Lopez will have a showing of the applied art done by her classes, in addition to other examples of work done in her department. The public is cordially invited to attend and see the progress made this year by the students. Monday evening the Club Espanol, composed of members of the Spanish classes in the A. U. F. S. held its second meeting in the domestic art rooms. This club was organized by Miss Rofena Chambers, teacher of Spanish, for the purpose of promoting Spanish conversation and general interest in matters of Spanish art and literature among the high school students. All conversation and all the programs are given entirely in Spanish. The membership is thirty. Officers are: Ruth Chamberlain, president; Florine Coykendall, vice-president; Ida Manter, secretary; Harold Shoebridge, treasurer. Last night's program consisted of initiation of new members, business session, a paper, "Los Costos de los Espanoles en la Estacion de la Navidad" by Ida Manter, song "La Serenata" by Miss Lopez, reading "La Navidad Espanola" by Harold Shoebridge, piano solo by John Johnston and Spanish games. During the serving of refreshments Spanish music was played on the Victrola. FREE ENTERTAINMENT TO THE CHILDREN Elks Giving a Free Show at the Grand Tuesday Afternoon, Dec. 23. An object of pity at Christmas time is the little tot who sees Santa Claus lavishly distributing gifts to other children, and wonders why the old saint, who has a reputation for goodness, always passes him by. There are many such in every community and for this reason the Anaheim Elks have arranged with Santa Clauã to give a free entertainment to all children under 15 years of age at the New Grand theatre. This includes all children within the jurisdiction of this lodge, which extends over the northern half of Orange county. Miss Lucile Dickson, teacher of history at Polytechnic high school, was a visitor in this office on Saturday for the purpose of collecting data on the early history of Anaheim of which she is preparing an article to be read before her class some time next month. Miss Dickson is one of the best known educators in Los Angeles, and has been teacher of history at Poly high for a number of years. She looked through early files of the Gazette as far back as 1870, and found much interesting information dealing with the early history of the colony. She noted that in 1872 the people of this city were engaged in an effort to establish a new county, which Los Angeles was powerful enough to defeat in the ensuing session of the legislature. One of the arguments advanced in favor of councys division was the fact as set forth at that time, that Los Angeles had collected taxes since the organization of that county of more than two million dollars, and that less than one thousand dollars had been expended in the region proposed to be included in the new county. Another reason advanced was that the pioneers liked the idea of carrying large sums of money to Los Angeles for their tax payments when the region was infested by a gang of Mexican bandits, led by Tiburcio Vasquez. The efforts at county division in the early seventies, for the pioneers tried twice to divide the county of Los Angeles, came to naught, and it was not until 1889 that the county of Orange was established. Miss Dickson obtained much valuable data for her historical sketch, including the effort for a federal appropriation for the improvement of Anaheim Landing, which in the early days was a port of considerable shipping. There was also an effort to organize a railroad running from this city to the ocean. Miss Dickson had visited in this city during the preceding week, and held interviews with Mrs. A. Frohling, Richard Melrose, Max Nebelung and Henry Kroeger, all of whom gave her interesting data upon the early history of this section. Her historical sketch will be looked for with great interest by our people, and will be published in these columns as soon as it is pre-arrived uncle he fell, ripen a knife and Red throuh blood.

Two miles of road running east and west across state highway south of Anaheim. One of the important recommendations for this region is the road from Anaheim to Richfield. Oil workers have long wanted a paved road from that district directly to this city, and the matter has been discussed by the board of trade on several occasions. Mrs. Mary Zeigler is having the interior of her residence repainted. BIG BEAR AS WINTER RESORT A great program of winter sports in Big Bear valley is only a question of a short time, hotel men believe. H. M. Nickerson, Robert J. Reid, Fred Crosby and Sherman Paddock, four of the big tourist hotel men of the south, have just been in the valley and it is reported, are much impressed with the possibilities. They made a trip to personally investigate conditions, and it is said the growth of the resorts leads to the conclusion the guests can be taken care of as well or better in winter as in summer. A plan of taking guests from the big hotels in the valley for a few days' program of sports will be worked out, and if it is as popular as is expected, a regular program will be outlined. Miss Dickson had visited in this city during the preceding week, and held interviews with Mrs. A. Frohling, Richard Melrose, Max Nebelung and Henry Kroeger, all of whom gave her interesting data upon the early history of this section. Her historical sketch will be looked for with great interest by our people, and will be published in these columns as soon as it is prepared. One of the interesting incidents of the early days showing the old timers were fond of a practical joke, was the camouflaged duel between Tom Stagg and a burly negro named Red Rogers. Stagg was clerk at the Planters hotel, and during winter evenings had a warm fire burning in a large stove in the hotel front room. The pioneers gathered here of an evening to meet socially and to discuss matters engaging their attention. Red had a habit of dropping in, taking a seat and going to sleep by the fire. The others objected to his presence, maintaining that various and sundry odors emanating from his person while near the fire were disagreeable to their olefactory nerves. Stagg ordered Red out of the hotel several times, but the latter persisted in returning. One evening while Red was asleep in a chair near the stove, Stagg procured a large sponge filled with cold water, and removing Red's hat soused it upon his head. Red left highly indignant, and the next day was informed by some of the boys that Stagg's act was an insult to him, and that it was a stain upon his honor as a colored gentleman. They declared Red should challenge Stagg to a duel with shotguns loaded with buckshot. Stagg promptly accepted, and the duel was a railroad running from this city to the ocean. It was recalled immediately after Alling was in its offices as the tiff, which to terminated by days' written fendants. The written set forth, confidants than Alling would contain also fendants to surrender them. On the same plaintiff service written notice is added them within the court.

Hundreds gathered to see the fun. When Red appeared for the duel he was informed by the referee that his clothing would have to be examined to see that he wore no coat of mail. He objected but the examination was nevertheless made and a large sheet of boiler iron strapped behind him with rope, was removed from his person. This boiler plate was placed on exhibition at the Planters hotel, and for a long time thereafter was an object of great interest. The two men were placed back to back, were to advance ten paces, wheel and fire both barrels of buckshot at the other. Stagg had procured a bladder filled with blood which he carried under his shirt, at the first shot he fell, ripping open the bladder with a knife and lay upon the ground, as Red thought, weltering in his own blood. Red started to run, with the entire assembly after him, crying: "Lynch the negro! Kill him!" Red hid in an adjoining slaughter house, where he remained until his brother rescued him late in the evening, and he left town. He never arrived. BENJAMIN AGAIN HEADS BOARD OF TRADE NINE NEW MEMBERS ADDED TO ROLL AT REGULAR MEETING MONDAY NIGHT Committee Appointed to Secure New Quarters as Hotel Wants the Room.—Will Ask Trustees for Council Chamber in Old City Hall. H. H. Benjamin, who was elected president of the board of trade when he office became vacant by the resignation of Prof. C. R. Prince some months ago, has been chosen to head that body of boosters through the year 1920. Annual election of officers was held at the regular meeting Monday night, and Mr. Benjamin was prevailed upon to continue in the office which NEW ANGLE IN THE CHERRY BLOSSOM MUDDLE Mrs. Rosalie Luneberg Sues to Get Possession of Her Building. That W. T. Alling, who is being sued by his wife, Claudia Alling, for separate maintenance, is defendant in litigation, further involving the Cherry Blossom confectionery, at 122 East Center street, was revealed by an action which was on file in superior court Monday and through which Rosaie Hart Luneberg, owner of the premises, will seek a return of the property, which she claims is being unlawfully withheld from her. Defendant with Alling in the new suit, which was filed through Attorney Leonard Evans of Anaheim, was Grover Deakins, now in control of the Cherry Blossom confectionery business. It was recited in the complaint that immediately prior to December 1, last Alling was in possession of the premises as the tenant at will of the plaintiff, which tenancy was on that date terminated by the plaintiff on thirty days' written notice served on the defendants. The written notice, the complaint set forth, contained notice to the defendants that the tenancy of W. T. Alling would end on December 1 and carried under his shirt, at the first shot he fell, ripping open the bladder with a knife and lay upon the ground, as Red thought, weltering in his own blood. Red started to run, with the entire assembly after him, crying: "Lynch the negro! Kill him!" Red hid in an adjoining slaughter house, where he remained until his brother rescued him late in the evening, and he left town. He never again showed up at the Planters hotel. While he was later informed that the guns were unloaded, he believed that he had killed Stagg and left for parts unknown. Miss Dickson will probably tell her history class all about this famous duel. NEW ANGLE IN THE CHERRY BLOSSOM MUDDLE F. K. Gresswell was again chosen on the board, the new members being George Ross, Dr. J. E. Walters, Dr. H. C. Wilhelm and G. R. Franklin. A good attendance was present at the meeting and an excellent feed provided by the expert chefs who had charge of the commissary. Efforts to increase the membership are meeting with success, it appears, as nine new members were taken in at this meeting. They were Manager Larson of the Tierman Bakery, Thomas Askin, A. V. Herr, J. A. Clayes, E. L. Lyons, B. H. Sidnam, B. Fischer, W. E. Alexander, Jr., and Manager Pillsbury of the ice plant. E. L. Olmstead was present and gave a description of the tractor cleaning apparatus which he recently patented. This contrivance is attached to a tractor and keeps the carburetor free from dust accumulation, which is one of the handicaps of the tractor. Mr. Olmstead has offers from established plants to manufacture the invention, but he would rather build a plant and manufacture it himself. All recognized that the Olmstead patent would be a useful adjunct to a tractor, but no action was taken by the board. The board of trade has been notified that the chambers in the Valencia hotel building now occupied by it are needed by the hotel management in order to make more room for guests. It will be necessary to move therefrom consequently a remission... It was recited in the complaint that immediately prior to December 1, last Alling was in possession of the premises as the tenant at will of the plaintiff, which tenancy was on that date terminated by the plaintiff on thirty days' written notice served on the defendants. The written notice, the complaint set forth, contained notice to the defendants that the tenancy of W. T. Alling would end on December 1, and contained also a demand on the defendants to quit the premises and surrender them on December 1. On the same day, it was recited, the plaintiff served on the defendants a written notice to relinquish the premises and allow the plaintiff to enter them within three days thereafter. During Alling's tenancy, the complaint alleged, Deakins entered into the possession of the premises and now continues to hold possession jointly with Alling. The defendants, the complaint said, disregarding the notices served on them, have failed and refused and still fall and refuse to vacate or surrender the possession of the property, "and by menaces and threats of violence to plaintiff, evidenced by commands to the plaintiff and orders to her" to desist from entering upon the premises "unlawfully hold and keep the possession of said premises and are now in the forcible possession thereof." The plaintiff alleged that in consequence of the alleged unlawful acts of the defendants, she has been deprived of the use of the premises and the building thereon, to her alleged damage in the sum of $75. Judgment for the restitution of the premises and for treble the amount of her alleged damage is asked by the plaintiff.
