She was driving the children to school at Anaheim when, in passing through Fullerton, to avoid a rapidly approaching car she turned into the curb. Two wheels were torn off the cah but beyond the fright no damage was done the pasengers. Mr. Stewart, of the Union Oil company, the driver of the oncoming car, expressed himself as responsible and paid for the repairs to the machine.—Brea Progress. Bob McKee is now an oil magnate, and if he isn't a millionaire at the present writing he will be within a short time. Some years ago Bob purchased 160 acres of extremely cheap land in the Osark mountain region of Missouri. A year or two ago indications of oil were found in that region, and an oil company offered Mr. McKee a cash monus and a royalty of one-sixth of the production for a lease. The offer was accepted and drilling begun and Mr. McKee has just received word that a 1700-barrel well was struck at a depth of 2500 feet. Oil was found at 700 feet, but the drillers believed there was better sand below, consequently they drilled on until they struck a gusher. Mr. McKee's share of the output of this single well is nearly 300 barrels per day, and there is plenty of room for several dozen more wells on the quarter section tract. Mr. and Chas. B. Fleming and two young sons of Douglas, Ariz., arrived here a few days ago for a visit with relatives and friends. Joy riders now are limited to half a tank of gasoline owing to the shortage, and the necessity for saving sufficient supply for business vehicles. This will curtail the Sunday excursions, but it is not expected the prohibition will last longer than a few weeks. A card system is being adopted which will prevent autoists evading the order by buying at different stations. Jake Vetter went down to San Diego to spend Decoration Day, and while there poeped over the fence into Tia Juana. Jake declares that he counted two hundred Anahelmers there—that is, in San Diego. It's a nice moral town in which to spend a day's vacation, but is perilously near Tia Juana, where his Satanic Majesty is supposed to make his headquarters. E. E. Smith of this city, George Slanker, Harry Ustick and Fred Fuller, all of Fullerton, went up to Big Bear on a fishing expedition Sunday and Monday, but returned without any fish. The water was high in the lake—eleven feet above normal, and spread over considerable adjacent ground, and the trout were so busy exploring new territory that they had no time to monkey with a baited hook. The choral society of the M. E. church will give a concert next Tuesday night. Gage Christopher, basso, and Albert J: Adams, pianist, will appear as the chief entertainers. Both these gentlemen have a wide reputation, and should be greeted by a large audience. Tomorrow morning board of trade will of Roosevelt picture grammar schools.

Fleming and two young sons of Douglas, Ariz., arrived here a few days ago for a visit with relatives and friends. Marshal Steadman will retain Deputy Andrade, Choate and Baxter on the police force for the time being. Permanent announcements will be made later. Many people visited the exhibitions of art work at the high and Fremont schools last week, where specimens of the handiwork of art, manual arts and domestic science pupils were on display. At the Fremont school work of all the grades from kindergarten up was exhibited, making an interesting display. At the high school the work was of a higher class and indicated that there are some budding artists and artisans in the school. Decoration services were held at Loma Vista cemetery Monday afternoon following the morning services here. Twelve Civil war veterans, eight veterans of the late war and one army nurse are buried there. Malvern Hill post had charge of the services. The Auto Trades Association of Orange county held a meeting at the J. E. Walters' garage in this city Friday night. It was an interesting session, the main feature being an address by E. F. Fresz of Los Angeles. About fifty members were present. The choral society of the M. E. church will give a concert next Tuesday night. Gage Christopher, basso, and Albert J. Adams, pianist, will appear as the chief entertainers. Both these gentlemen have a wide reputation, and should be greeted by a large audience. Tourists are taking advantage of our municipal camping ground this spring. Many of them stop over night in passing, and all speak in complimentary terms of the conveniences arranged for their comfort. Suit against C. W. Harvey has been filed in superior court by the Anaheim National bank to collect on a note for $1342. Everybody in Anaheim has been eating at the expense of John Cook this week, and a great many have laid by a store "while the gittin' was good," to be eaten in the future. Mr. Cook had a 35-acre field of fine cabbage which was ready for the market and shipping facilities unavailable, so unlike the Jap who would rather destroy than give away, he invited the people to accept it as a present and carry it away. The field was invaded by hoards of people who carried it away in autos, and because many persons had no means of conveyance trucks were loaded with it, hauled through the streets and distributed to all who could make use of it. Everybody has been eating cabbage this week and a great many have made sauer kraut for future use. Now, if some generous person will turn a potato patch loose, H. C. L. will get another jolt.

Anaheim Gazette payable in advance ANAHEIM GAZETTE LOCAL NOTES Mr. and Mrs. Harry Arthur and Mr. and Mrs. Arthur McAulay spent Sunday and Monday exploring the Imperial valley, and returned with a high opinion of that country. Fritz Kluewer is able to get out again after suffering two weeks' from the effects of a fall. Memorial services were held at the high school auditorium Sunday morning at 11 o'clock. It was a union service, the Methodist, Christian and Presbyterian churches joining. Rev. Lafayette Swindle, pastor of the Christian church delivered the sermon, and the Presbyterian choir, under direction of Prof. Thomas Askin, furnished the music. The G. A. R., Spanish war veterans, Daughters of Veterans, and American Legion, attended the services. This was the annual memorial services held always on the Sunday preceding Decoration Day. Trustee Howard Gates and his brother-in-law, M. G. Anlauf, spent a week or two fishing in the Espee, and reduced the fish population to such an extent that the sport is mighty poor in that stream now. Tomorrow morning at 9 o'clock the board of trade will present a number of Roosevelt pictures to the Anaheim grammar schools. Henry Kroeger, who has been quite ill at the home of his daughter, Mrs. L. D. Bradley at Riverside, returned home Sunday accompanied by Mr. and In a suit on file wilt County Clerk Backs, the Southern Pacific Railway company asks damages approximating $7500 from H. O. Henderson and J. Lloyd Moore of Anaheim, resulting from the alleged removal by them of rails, ties and the grade of part of the Tustin branch of the road leading from Anaheim. That part of the right-of-way which has been removed ran between property owned by Moore and Henderson located on the state highway just north of the Edison company plant between Santa Ana and Anaheim. The right-of-way ran within about 50 feet of Moore's home. The rails and ties were removed and the right-of-way graded down to conform with the rest of the two ranches on January 28, according to the complaint. The railroad company asks for a writ of possession, $2000 damages for destruction and removal of its property and for exemplary damages in the sum of $5000 and for $100 per month for the use of the property by the defendants. The fire boys, who have been claiming that the siren was growing rusty of late from disuse, were startled into action within less than a week by two alarms. The first came at half-past eleven Saturday night, when Frank Tansch's woodpile on Melrose street burst into flames from some mysterious cause. Sunday afternoon another call came, this time from Sonoratown, near the sugar factory, where a Mexican residence was reported to be on fire. It was only to discover, on arrival, that neighbors had destroyed the building with axes, which, they considered, the surest way of saving it from destruction by the flames. Three parties were run In Saturday for violations of the auto laws. A. C. Lynch paid $5 for allowing his spot lights to burn high. C. L. Harris who parked his auto in a driveway, and D. C. Burnell, who parked with his motor running, were each booked for a hearing. James Fullerton, postmaster at Orange and a pioneer newspaper man of the county, died suddenly Thursday night of heart failure. He was 77 years of age. A 13-year old Mexican girl of Anaheim has been turned over to Probation Officer Scott on a chargeof forging three checks. One was for $10 on the Groceteria, another for the same on G .O. Payne, grocer, and a third for $3 on T. Yano, Jap producer dealer. Work on the wrecked packing house of the Yorba Linda Citrus association is going ahead rapidly. For the past few days, since the collapse of the floors, teams have been busy hauling away the fruit and as fast as the weight is lifted from the flooring, workmen will start bracing, preparatory to putting in new floors. The boxed fruit is being hauled to the old Placentia Exchange house, which is now vacant, the damaged fruit goes to Ontario to the by-products factory, and the newly picked fruit has been handled by the Mutual association since the disaster. The Yorba Linda association expects to send its fruit and packers to the Placentia house this week, where they will continue packing until work here is complete. The cost of repairing the building is put at $15,000, which is considered a very conservative estimate. Frank Tomorrow morning at 9 o'clock the board of trade will present a number of Roosevelt pictures to the Anaheim grammar schools. Henry Kroeger, who has been quite ill at the home of his daughter, Mrs. L. D. Bradley at Riverside, returned home Sunday accompanied by Mr. and Mrs. Bradley. Mr. Kroeger is recovering his health. Walter Hodges and family spent a two-day vacation at Capistrano Sunday and Monday. While the families were away from home Monday thieves entered the residences of J. P. Henry and Dr. C. W. Harvey in the west end of town. Some jewelry was taken at the Henry residence, and at Dr. Harvey's a quantity of clothing was carried away. A large audience enjoyed the Tuesday night vaudeville at the Fairyland. This is to happen every Tuesday as well as Friday nights. Elmer Jordan, aged 29, and S. S. Karr, aged 20, both of Fullerton, have discovered that alcohol taken straight carries a mightly "kick" and that it leaves a headache. They are now recovering from the headache in the county jail, having been taken to Santa Ana from Fullerton by Undersheriff French to serve a thirty-day sentence in the county jail on a charge of intoxication and disorderly conduct. Both men refused to state where they secured the alcohol further than that a druggist in the northern end of the county supplied their wants. They told Undersheriff French they are ready to sign thepledge after one experience with the drink. With application filed in the Orange county superior court by E. T. Mateer for dissolution of the Mateer-Gemmel Drug company, E. T. Mateer expects soon to be doing business again by himself. The company was formed some time ago and drug stores were operated at Santa Ana and at Anaheim. Falling health of the wife of Mr. Gemmel has caused his withdrawal and the sale of the Anaheim store. The Heffern Oil company is now drilling by the pipe in the sandwash well at a depth of 2725 feet. Indications of oil were found in the first drilling at 300 feet, and it is hoped a producer can be brought in at that depth. G. L. Overby was taken in by the police Saturday and booked on a charge of being drunk. After recovery from the effects of the dope which he had swallowed he pleaded guilty to the charge and was fined $10. The bodies of Frank D. Jennings and his wife, Ella Jennings, who were mysteriously murdered while camping in Idaho some nights ago, were brought to Los Angeles for burial. Jennings was a former resident of Anaheim, his father, A. C. Jennings, being deputy county assessor. The dead man was a cousin of Walter Cadman. Mr. and Mrs. Jennings were shot in the night while camping by the roadside. This Should Catch Every Eye EVERYBODY knows shoes are high priced; the worst of it is there doesn't seem to be any relief in sight. Workers in the shoe factories are asking for increased wages--everything is costing more. We've felt that our duty was to keep shoe prices down as low With application filed in the Orange county superior court by E. T. Mateer for dissolution of the Mateer-Gemmel Drug company, E. T. Mateer expects soon to be doing business again by himself. The company was formed some time ago and drug stores were operated at Santa Ana and at Anaheim. Failing health of the wife of Mr. Gemmel has caused his withdrawal and the sale of the Anaheim store to its original owner, O. A. Mullinix. Mr. Gemmel and family expect to move to a higher altitude for the benefit of the health of Mrs. Gemmel. Men who will form the board of trustees for the proposed county-wide cemetery district have been named and the work of printing and circulating the petitions now will proceed with all haste. Henry Hettebrink, Fullerton, will represent the north end of the county; Sam Nau, Tustin, the south end, and H. V. Anderson of Huntington Beach, the west end. It was necessary to secure the trustees before the petitions could be printed and circulated and after the first term the board of supervisors will name the board. The men have consented to the use of their names and will give the district the very best attention. Marshal A. W. Wood was called by the sheriff's office last Friday to take a prisoner, convicted of a fenony, to San Quentin. Mr. Wood landed his man safely, returning to this city Monday. Tex Choate had the end of a finger cut off while manipulating a door in the city jail Saturday. Anaheim Gazette, per year, $1.50, payable in advance. We've felt that our duty was to keep shoe prices down as low as we possibly could; we've been doing it by having Florsheim shoes--shoes that save because they last longer; we've priced them very close, we're taking LESS than fair profit just to give you more.

Home of Hart Schaffner & Marx clothes Greatest "Better Value" Demonstrations Seasonable Merchandise Offered at Most Attractive Prices FALKENSTEIN'S WILSON AND SUGAR PRICES The statement from the White House issued on Jan. 1, explaining that the president would not acquire any portion of the Cuban sugar crop, assigned as the reason that "the peak of high prices" had been reached and that lower prices for sugar would develop very soon. This was, no doubt, an offshoot of the presidential dream that he was about to reduce "the high cost of living" generally by a wave of a magician's wand. But the stubborn h. c. of l. would not "reduce." On the contrary, it distinctly swelled up. So this excuse for failing to take advantage of the legal power and the moral support afforded by the McNary act had to be discarded. It was too fatally clear that action had ben sorely needed. The failure to act has had painful consequences. Sugar is going up to prohibitive figures. "The peak of high prices" is by no means behind us. We are either impaled on it today or it soars menacingly in front of us. POULTRY INSTITUTE The fifth annual poultry institute, heuld under the joint auspices of the poultry division of the College of Agriculture, the various poultrymen's associations, and the farm bureau, will be held in the high school at Van Nuys, June 1 to 4 inclusive. A splendid program has been prepared by Professors Dougherty and Lloyd. Every poultry man should attend the institute. CHRISTIAN SCIENCE First Church of Christ, Scientist, corner of Philadelphia and Chartres streets. Sunday service at 11 a.m. Sunday school at 9:45 a.m. A meeting Wednesday at 7:45 a.m. at which can be no continuous production or consumption unless there shall be reasonably continuous interstate traffic. The farmer of the west can not ship his wheat to the consumer in the cities unless the great railroad systems of the country are in operation. Since the welfare of both the producer and the consumer require continuous interstate commerce, both those classes will be strong advocates of the enactment of a law which will prohibit railroad strikes. At the same time, there will also be general support of a provision in the federal statutes which will assure to employees who have grievances that a fair tribunal will hear their grievances and render judgment according to the merits of the controversy. When this has been assured, there can be no reasonable opposition to an anti-strike law applicable to railroads engaged in interstate commerce. IN THE OIL FIELD Kraemer No. 2-5 of the Standard Oil company, which was placed on the pump recently came in and is doing 150 barrels of 2 gravity oil, which is said to be the highest gravity oil yet produced in the Richfield district. This well is the farthest south of any of the producing wells in the field, being less than a mile from the Heffern well, and its coimng in with oil of such gravity raised the hopes of oil men and others interested in the Richfield district and particularly those interested in the southern end of the district. Drilling in the field is at its height and it would not be surprising if some new and sensational gushers developed within a short time. Thompson No. 3, which came in as CHRISTIAN SCIENCE First Church of Christ, Scientist, corner of Philadelphia and Chartree streets. Sunday service at 11 a.m. Sunday school at 9:45 a.m. A meeting Wednesday at 7:45 p.m., at which testimonials of healing are given. Free reading room in the First National Bank building, rooms 304 and 305; open daily from 11:30 a.m. to 5 p.m., except Sundays and legal holidays, where the Bible and authorized Christian Science literature may be read, borrowed or purchased if desired. The public is cordially welcome. FAVOR ANTI-STRIKE LAW In the hearing before a subcommittee of the interstate commerce committee of the senate relative to the Poindexter bill to prohibit interference with interestate commerce by conspiracies of either employers or employees, the farmers were unqualified in their support of the measure. The Poindexter bill, like the Cummins bill, does not prohibit any employee from quitting his employment at any time for any reason so long as he does not enter into a conspiracy with others to interfere with interstate commerce. In practical effect the bill would prohibit strikes on railroads engaged in interstate business. Quite naturally the farmers are in favor of such a measure, as also are shippers of commodities of all kinds, and consumers generally. The farmeg can not cease production, neither can the general public cease consumption. But there being less than a mile from the Heffern well, and its coimng in with oil of such gravity raised the hopes of oil men and others interested in the Richfield district and particularly those interested in the southern end of the district. Drilling in the field is at its height and it would not be surprising if some new and sensational gushers developed within a short time. Thompson No. 3, which came in as a 650-barrel gusher a few days ago, shows no signs of diminishing. It is probably themost wonderful well so far discovered in that field. The oil flows from the pipe in a regular stream, like water from a garden hose, there being no belching such as was the case with other wells in that district. Nearly all of the other gushers brought in there were irregular, flowing at times at enormous rate and then dying down for a time. Many of them belched oil over the crown block and created big excitement only to die down in a few days but the Thompson flows in a steady even stream, with every indication that it will continue indefinitely. The oil from this well is said to be 23 gravity. Mrs. Marie Rossmueller of Chicago is visiting her daughter, Mr. Fritz Kluewer. She will probably make an extended visit. Robert Dunn died at his residence in this city Wednesday afternoon, after a long illness. Funeral was held at Backs & Terry's Saturday afternoon, the I. O. O. F. having charge of the services. Interment was in Anaheim cemetery. Anaheim Gazette per year, $1.50, payable in advance.
