Two .Strikes.O Times Up—Attorney House Moving Consider Howard Off on Vacation The board of trustees meets Friday evening with members present to hear a Manager Steward relating contract for digging well at the power plant. Mr. Smith of San Bernardino per foot, all material furnished and the attic constructed to draw up the addition of the new water for domestic purpure Manager Steward had no conception of the magnitude and beauty of the display offered for your entertainment and advantage. There are sixty-one exhibits in the two tents. Twenty of them are cars and forty-one are trucks, tractors, accessories, etc. There is only one exhibit for each make of car, consequently, the several dealers within the county who handle the same make of car, are combined in one exhibit. The tents, fittings, decorations, etc., are the same that were used in the great Los Angeles automobile show. The tents were erected by the Swanfelt Tent and Awning company; the electric lighting and decorations being put in by E. H. Flagg & Co., and the Papier Mache Co. The side walls of the huge tents are solid paintings, one of them being an ocean scene, the billowy waves carrying types of all the ships that sail the seas, warships being the most prominent. The walls of the other tent are covered with a landscape painting, showing an endless and changing panorama of beautiful California scenes. There are several hundred feet of canvas, and the painting has been done by artists of high degree. A profusion of flags, papier mache pillars, Corinthian columns, giant Japanese vases, and various other beautiful and substantial things have been used in the decorations. Electric wires have been strung across Los Angeles street carrying scores of vari-colored lights which will burn at night, while flags in the day time will apprise the thousands of autoists who pass up and down El Camino Real each day, that something beautiful is on display in the tents, and it would be worth their while to stop and see it. A parking place of several acres in extent has been prepared in the rear of the tents, where autos can be left. Adjoining the grounds on the north is the aviation field where two planes belonging to the Mercury Aviation Co. have a landing place. Flights will be made at 1:30 o'clock each day, and the machines are always open for an engagement to carry a passenger. Out of compliment to the city it was arranged to take Mayor Stark up on the initial trip yesterday afternoon. At this writing it is announced that his honor is setting his house in order and preparing for the trip, and unless his doctor decided it would be dangerous to carry his heart into a high Co-operative Shops, Moreland; unit 1.

Manager Steward had earlier matters which he described before the council and settled back in their arsenal attentive ears. He said the moving of old houses in from without the city and asked for guidance. He was appealed to and that giving the question some verred it would be difficult practice, aside from suasion. The question was from several angles but finite solution was arrived ter was referred to the ment for further study and mention with the hope that means may be found to shacks and the shifting from one location to another the city. The repair of broken walks and corner curbs was it was decided that they keep the walks in repair injury to same was caused than individual carelessness cern.

Out of compliment to the city it was arranged to take Mayor Stark up on the initial trip yesterday afternoon. At this writing it is announced that his honor is setting his house in order and preparing for the trip, and unless his doctor decided it would be dangerous to carry his heart into a high attitude the mayor probably sailed on schedule time. The show opens at 10:30 o'clock each morning and closes at 10:30 in the evening. The admission is fifty cents for adults and thirty cents for children, with war tax added.

Anaheim Auto Co., Orange County "I deplore our easy, vicious tendency," said Secretary Colby in a speech at the D. O. R. convention, "to denunciation of our public servants." What Mr. Colby means is he deplores criticisms of office holders of the Wilson administration. He put no curb on his own tongue when he was loudly engaged in lambasting President Taft and his official associates in 1912. Harry D.

Mr. Riley is good rite finding the board in amitation, asked that permission ed the Southern California to erect guiding signs up pole at the Los Angeles street intersection, but had to be denied, as it was patriotic to use the flag as purpose other than for the Mr. Riley submitted grant thanking the board for its granted, bid them good e-retired.

SMITH TO SINK WATER WELL AT POWER HOUSE Harry Riley, Suave Committeeman, Gets. Two .Strikes .Out.of .Three Times Up—Attorney Ames Giving House Moving Consideration—J. S. Howard Off on Vacation The board of trustees met in special session Friday evening with all members present to hear a report from Manager Steward relative to awarding contract for digging a new water well at the power plant. The bid of Mr. Smith of San Bernardino for $9.25 per foot, all material furnished, was accepted and the attorney was instructed to draw up the contract. By the addition of the new well the city is assured of a plentiful supply of water for domestic purposes. Manager Steward had several other matters referred to the manager. Mrs. Strodtheff having volunteered to repair the sidewalk and corner in front of her residence on North Lemon street, and in view of the order that the city is to take care of the corners, it was decided to refund one-half of the corner cost—$9—to her. The board decided to go in a body Monday morning and pick out a location for the new water well at the pumping plant on South Los Angeles street. When asked which time would best suit each member to go out on location some said any time either in the morning or late afternoon would be agreeable. One member suggested five o'clock. "In the morning or afternoon?" asked another. "Of course I mean five in the afternoon," replied the councilman, making the time suggestion. The trustees indulged in laughter and as a compromise measure finally agreed to meet at 8 o'clock Monday morning and it was so ordered. J. S. Howard, recorder asked for fifteen days' leave of absence, beginning May 5. Granted. The American Legion was granted permission to hold a street dance on South Claudina street Saturday evening. Committees have been appointed as follows: Finance—Gibbs, Gates, Backs. SATURDAY NIGHT CHAUTAUQUA OPENING SEVEN DAYS OF HIGH-CLASS ENTERTAINMENT OFFERED THE PEOPLE OF ANAHEIM Ellison-White Program One of the Best Ever Presented in This City—Lectures, Concert, Play, and Various Other Attractions—Read the Program Then Get a Season Ticket Saturday night the first entertainment of the seven-day chautauqua program will be given at the big tent, corner of Center and Emily streets. "An Oriental Pageant" is the title of the first nights lecture entertainment with Julius Caesar Nayphe as the director. We don't know what Mr. Nayphe's native country is, and we are unacquainted with the details of his entertainment, but we know it is worth seeing, and hearing, else it would not be on the Ellison-White chautauqua program. Manager Steward had several other matters which he desired to bring before the council and the members settled back in their arm chairs and tent attentive ears. The manager said the moving of old houses to within from without the city was vexing and asked for guidance. The attorney was appealed to and that official, after giving the question some thought, arreared it would be difficult to stop the practice, aside from using moral suasion. The question was discussed from several angles, but as no definite solution was arrived at the matter was referred to the legal department for further study and consideration, with the hope that some legal means may be found to shut out the shacks and the shifting of chromos from one location to another within the city. The repair of broken cement sidewalks and corner curbs was taken up and it was decided that the city would keep the walks in repair where the injury to same was caused by other than individual carelessness or concern. In some cases the roots of trees cause the breakage of the cement, and the expanding of the pavement has a tendency to cause the corner curbs to warp and hump. In these cases the city will come to rescue. The manager said he and the attorney had under consideration the new license ordinance, but that and several other matters, at suggestion of the board, were allowed to go over until another emeting. Harry D. Riley, as a committeeman representing the chautaqua, asked for the privilege of stretching four banners across Center and Los Angeles streets. The request was granted. Mr. Riley also asked that the west side of North Los Angeles street, between Sycamore and North, be reserved for parking purposes for motor car demonstrations during the Orange county motor car show. This agreed to meet at 8 o'clock Monday morning and it was so ordered. J. S. Howard, recorder asked for fifteen days' leave of absence, beginning May 5. Granted. The American Legion was granted permission to hold a street dance on South Claudina street Saturday evening. Committees have been appointed as follows: Finance—Gibbs, Gates, Backs. Public Improvement—Backs, Mann, Gates. Ordinance—Gates, Backs, Gibbs. Police, Light, Water—Mann, Backs, Gibbs. At this stage of the proceedings the council went into executive session. SALVATION ARMY CHARITIES As a substitute for wasteful county charity and relief work the advisory boards of the Salvation Army are offering this year the extension throughout California of this organization's constructive social service. For years the Salvation Army has demonstrated the practical value of this form of relief work that enables the individual to help himself. When this system was introduced it was regarded as a novel experiment as at that time relief work was charity in a form that exacted nothing in return and inspired habitual indigence. This has been tried over several generations in the big centers of population. Here the Salvation Army has welcomed the discouraged, the despondent, and those broken in spirit. It has bathed, fed and lodged them and given them remunerative employment, sending them forth renewed in spirit and body as self-respecting and self-supporting citizens. The scope of this work is indicated by the fact that west of the Mississippi alone the Salvation Army last year lodged 128,584 men and served 412,469 meals. In San Francisco, $13,744.70 was paid in wages to men whom the army was helping to help themselves. It is this kind of service which the Salvation Army's financial appeal, May 10 to 20, will make possible for every county in California. YOUR TOWN If you want to live in the kind of a town like the kind of a town you like program will be given at the big tent, corner of Center and Emily streets. "An Oriental Pageant" is the title of the first nights lecture entertainment with Julius Caesar Nayphe as the director. We don't know what Mr. Nayphe's native country is, and we are unacquainted with the details of his entertainment, but we know it is worth seeing, and hearing, else it would not be on the Ellison-White chautauqua program. It is seldom the people of small towns have an opportunity of seeing entertainments such as are presented by chautauquas. Everything on the Ellison-White program is among the best that can be procured for money, and if you miss any of them you are turninf your back on something that you should see. The chautauqua managers with their highly-paid attractions cannot afford to pitch their tent and waste their time in a community unless a certain amount of money is guaranteed. They are presenting shows that cost them big money and are worth the price, therefore they must get the price out of them. In order to get this aggregation here for your entertainment a number of Anaheim men guaranteed a certain amount of money and personally pledged themselves to the sale of the tickets. They are doing this without any gain to themselves, but merely to give the people of this community an opportunity to see high-class entertainments. You can get an admission ticket for any of the entertainments at the entrance or you can purchase a season ticket at the office of the Henderson Realty company. We would advise you to get a season ticket and see them all. Following is the complete program: Daily Schedule Morning lecture ... 10:00 Afternoon concert ... 2:30 Afternoon lecture ... 3:00 Children's hour ... 4:00 Evening concert ... 7:30 Evening lecture ... 8:00 Saturday Evening—Opening exercises and announcements. Lecture-entertainment—"The Oriental Pageant"-Julius Caesar Nayphe and assistants. Sunday Afternoon—Prelude—The Alaska Duo. Lecture — "Tomorrow," Carlton Chambers Harry D. Riley, as a committeeman representing the chautauqua, asked for the privilege of stretching four banners across Center and Los Angeles streets. The request was granted. Mr. Riley also asked that the west side of North Los Angeles street, between Sycamore and North, be reserved for parking purposes for motor car demonstrations during the Orange county motor car show. This request was granted the same to be under the supervision of the city marshal. Mr. Riley is good natured, and finding the board in amiable disposition, asked that permission be granted the Southern California Auto club to erect guiding signs upon the flag pole at the Los Angeles and Center street intersection, but this request had to be denied, as it would be unpatriotic to use the flag staff for any purpose other than for that intended. Mr. Riley submitted gracefully, and, thankking the board for the favors granted, bid them good evening, and retired. The attorney was asked regarding the improvement district on Center street, between Los Angeles and Lemon, and that official informed the board that while the matter was progressing as well as could be expected under the circumstances, it was nevertheless a "tough" question. It was estimated that the query has arisen as to just what constitutes a "street." From all accounts a legal battle is upon the tapis. Trustee Gates gave it as his opinion that the open space between the new curb and the old (temporary) line at the Roberts corner at Center and Lemon streets, was dangerous and might be the cause of an accident.

San Diego county will observe May 8 as Inland Highway Day. May Day was picnic day for Orange county farm bureau folks. SHACK MOVING GIVE GAUSE FOR NIGHTMARE VEXING QUESTION GIVES FOOD FOR THOUGHT FOR CITY COUNCILMEN TO SOLVE Shacks Which Do Not Add to Beauty of Landscape Come Under Ban—Legal Department to Draft Ordinance to Head Them Off The moving of buildings in this city affords a never-ending subject for discussion and right now the city trustees are wrestling with the question with a vigor greater than ever. Many citizens have beautified their premises with modern dwellings, which are a credit to the city, but if there happens to be a vacant lot near by it causes them sleepless nights for fear some over-zealous hombre will move a structure that perhaps he has secured at a bargain elsewhere—upon the lot. In almost every case when a building is moved it may safely be FARM NEWS GLEANINGS Orange county reports apricot crop half that of last year. San Diego county will observe May 8 as Inland Highway Day. May Day was picnic day for Orange county farm bureau folks. Elsinore and the Perris valley are planning 4,000 acre cotton plantation. The San Joaquin ranch in Orange county will harvest an 80,000 sack crop of barley. Cucamonga, San Bernardino county, is planning for a dehydrating plant for wine grapes. "Greatest flow of honey in five years" is the report of many honey producers in Southern California. Notwithstanding low prices for lemons, many shipments are being made, especially to middle west sections. Cattlemen of California held an important meeting, with greatest attendance ever, at Los Angeles last week. Prof. Quayle of the experiment station is making an extended campaign and investigation in codling moth control. The cannery at Elsinore is being enlarged and equipped with up to date machinery in preparation for the coming canning season. "Never such wild flowers as may be seen now on the desert" is the report which comes from everyone who has been out to gather bouquets. Ventura county beet growers are anticipating that from present sugar prices they ought to receive this year at least $20 per ton for beets. Orange county farm bureau hopes to ally every farm center with the movement for county fair in a way to make it the greatest agricultural fair yet held in this county. A large corporation is planning impounding and developing waters in San Gabriel and San Dimas canyons in the Sierra Madre, which will cost four millions of dollars and provide water for 30,000 acres. SEVENTY ACRES OF CANVAS When you see the big brown tent at chautauqua try to visualize an immense field of almost seventy acres trustees are wrestling with the question with a vigor greater than ever. Many citizens have beautified their premises with modern dwellings, which are a credit to the city, but if there happens to be a vacant lot near by it causes them sleepless nights for fear some overzealous hombre will move a structure that perhaps he has secured at a bargain elsewhere—upon the lot. In almost every case when a building is moved it may safely be classed in the shack column, and never adds to the beauty of the landscape. And right now there seems to be no way of heading them off. Were the city zoned it would have to be all or none, while in the very remote corners of the city, which are not thickly populated, a structure not up to standard might not cause any undue complaint, while if the shack were whisked in overnight upon a site close in there is a roar. Again, were a stringent ordinance passed, prohibiting the moving of any building anywhere within the city it would work a hardship upon some, as for instance, in the case of the Elks moving the Weisel residence from North Los Angeles street to a site in North Lemon. This building can be classed as modern and is as good if not better than many others round about. If this class of buildings came under the ban they would have to be knocked down and salvaged. It has been suggested that perhaps an ordinance could be passed forbidding use of paved streets for moving purposes, but the movers could evade the law by going in a round about way and utilizing the unpaved streets, and furthermore might resort to aviation to put the building over. And so the plot thickens. Just what is to be done in the matter has been passed up to the city legal department and no doubt much midnight electric juice well be used in solving the vexing problem. THE FIRST ICE CREAM It was under the reign of Catherine of Medicis that the first ice creams were served. The recipe was brought from Asia by Marco Polo, who paid a visit to the emperor of Japan in the fifteenth century. It was mentioned again at a banquet given by Charles I of England. On this occasion it was prepared by a French cook, named De Mireo, and the king was so satisfied with that cream—the frozen milk, as SEVENTY ACRES OF CANVAS When you see the big brown tent at chautauqua try to visualize an immense field of almost seventy acres covered with canvas and you will have some idea of how much equipment is used by Ellison-White on their various summer circuits in the United States, Canada and in the South Seas. Tent companies credit Ellison-White with having more canvas than any other amusement concern of any kind and more than twice as much of any other chautauqua bureau. There is a total of fifty-nine tents and in June and July forty of the big khaki tops are up every day in forty different towns. The side-wall and fence, if connected together on all this equipment would stretch over seven miles and the main guy ropes a dozen miles. Herman Dickel will leave next week for the northern part of the state on a visit to his son Arnold, who is superintendent of a large paint manufacturing company, which is extracting paint from ores. He will be absent several weeks. He also contemplates visiting his son Ted, at Durango, Mex., where he is engaged in the erection of a large mill for a mining corporation. He will probably be accompanied by his son Percy, who is gradually regaining his health following a surgical operation for the removal of one of his kidneys. It was under the reign of Catherine of Medici that the first ice creams were served. The recipe was brought from Asia by Marco Polo, who paid a visit to the emperor of Japan in the fifteenth century. It was mentioned again at a banquet given by Charles I of England. On this occasion it was prepared by a French cook, named De Mireo, and the king was so satisfied with that cream—the frozen milk, as he called it—that he gave the cook a pension for life of twenty pounds sterling per year, under the condition that he would not divulge the secret of its manufacture. The first establishment was opened in New York in 1851 by Jacob Fussell. Today a capital of over three million dollars is invested in the wholesale manufacture of ice cream in the city of New York and over twenty millions in the United States. It is said that this industry is still in its infancy and that it has a great future. The ice cream commences to be regarded by the Americans not only as an agreeable luxury but as one of the healthiest and most nourishing foods. It is understood that Mr. Wilson intends to do nothing further with the peace treaty until congress has acted on the proposed peace resolution. There appears to be little doubt that such a resolution will be speedily passed and put up to the president for his approval or rejection. If he cares to deny what everyone knows to be a fact, then he will veto the declaration that the war is at an end, but if he has a vestige of sound judgment remaining he will sign it and add a touch of formality to a condition that everybody has recognized for months.
