VOLUME LI PLANS ADOPTED FOR OUTFALL SEWER CITY COUNCILS OF ANAHEIM AND SANTA ANA ADOPT REPORT OF ENGINEERS Joint Session of Bodies of Two Towns Consider Plans and Accept Them Without Discussion—Total Cost of Project $600,000, of Which Sum Anaheim Will Pay $230,000—Bond Election to Be Called as Soon as Possible to Provide Funds. The problem confronting the rapidly growing inland cities of Orange county relative to the disposal of the sewage, will shortly be solved so far as Anaheim and Santa Ana is concerned, if the voters of these two towns approve a bond issue of $600,000 for the purpose of building an outfall sewer to the ocean. Officials of the two cities have been consulting, planning, arguing and disputing for many months, but have finally reached an agreement which is satisfactory to the range 10 west, with the westerly line of the right of way of the Santa Ana river, which point is about five-eighths of a mile southwesterly from the Talbert bridge. From this point most feasible route is parallel with, and adjacent to, the west levee of the Santa Ana river. The advantages of this route over others investigated are that the grades are sufficient and fairly uniform, there will be very little ground water to hamper construction; there are no improvements except drainage ditches which can be moved cheaply, and the right of way should be obtained for a nominal sum because it does not cut across and damage property. The point of discharge into the ocean determined upon is especially desirable because the ocean front is uninhabited for more than a mile in either direction and because of the following physical conditions there existing: The west jetty at the mouth of the river will protect the cast iron pipe for some 500 feet from the shore, the jetty ending on solid rock; the tests with floats which have been made so far show a strong and almost unvarying current off shore and to the south which will carry the sewage so far out that should some counter current bring it back to shore it will be so diluted as to be unnoticeable and blue from all sections. ENTIRE CITY JOINS IN PARADISE THOUSANDS ATTEND SARY CELEBRATION ANA FRIDAY Every Section Represents Mile Procession—An Posts, Bands, Beautiful Societies and Decorate Line—Anaheim Takeous Part in the Affair Hundreds of persons who journeyed to Santa Ana witness the Armistice proclaim it the most spartant of the kind ever hey, and Anaheim plays part. The Anaheim band was there, leading divisions, beautiful floats decorated autos from were in line, the Anaheim post marched with them and blue from all sections and the voice of Carnegie. The problem confronting the rapidly growing inland cities of Orange county relative to the disposal of the sewage, will shortly be solved so far as Anaheim and Santa Ana is concerned, if the voters of these two towns approve a bond issue of $600,000 for the purpose of building an outfall sewer to the ocean. Officials of the two cities have been consulting, planning, arguing and disputing for many months, but have finally reached an agreement which is satisfactory to the trustees of both cities. City Manager Steward, of Anaheim, and City Engineer Hog, of Santa Ana, have made a thorough investigation of the project, and have finally mapped out a plan. The city councils of Anaheim and Santa Ana met in joint session at the city hall in this city Wednesday night for the purpose of regelving and acting upon the reports of Messrs. Steward and Hoy. A report signed by both these gentlemen, was submitted to the joint session, and each handed in an individual report for the consideration of his own board. The joint report was adopted without discussion and without a dissenting vote, and the individual reports were received and approved at the regular meetings of the two boards Thursday night. City Manager Steward's report to the Anaheim board was as follows: "I herewith submit to you a report on the ocean outfall for the city of Anaheim, together with the report on the joint outfall with the city of Santa Ana. "The only feasible route for the Anaheim outfall is directly south on the Garden Grove road to the Pacific Electric railroad, southeasterly along the right way of the railroad to the paved road running south, and continuing south along the county road to the junction point with the Santa Ana outfall, a total distance of 47,900 feet or 8.05 miles. The minimum grade on this route is .15 per cent. The right of way is along public highway with the exception of some 1200 feet which will parallel the right way of the railroad and can be secured at a small cost. The route is almost directly south from the present disposal plant of the city of Anaheim and presents no unusual difficulties in construction. "I respectfully recommend for this outfall a 22 inch pipe, which will give a capacity at the minimum grade of 730 miners inches, and will allow for an increased flow of 315 inches of 570 per cent above our present maximum existing: The west jetty at the mouth of the river will protect the cast iron pipe for some 500 feet from the shore, the jetty ending on solid rock; the tests with floats which have been made so far show a strong and almost unvarying current off shore and to the south which will carry the sewage so far out that should some counter current bring it back to shore it will be so diluted as to be unnoticeable and of no menace to health. The fact that the sugar company's outfall at this point has been in service for nine years strengthens the belief that the position will give freedom from damage by the elements. Our figures are based upon the use of 23,750 feet of 30 inch reinforced concrete pipe from the junction point to the shore line, being the only pipe of this size available, and 800 feet of 36 inch iron pipe from the shore line out. The basis for calculations used in determining the above sizes of pipe was a minimum grade of .087 per cent. The approximate maximum flow of sewage from Santa Ana is 185 miners inches, and from Anaheim 55 inches, making a total of 240 inches from the two cities. The maximum capacity of the pipe as recommended will be 1000 inches which will give 760 inches or 316 per cent for increased flow from the two cities. The estimated cost of material and labor, together with insurance bond, inspection, legal and engineering expenses, and including the first units of the screening plant is $207,655.58, to be borne as shown by the figures above approximately 77 per cent by Santa Ana and 23 per cent by Anaheim, and to allow for possible variation in these figures we would further recommend that for the purpose of a bond of the above figures. In addition we estimate the cost of rights of way to be $8000, and a sixty acre site for the disposal works $24,000, or a total of $32,000. We would respectfully recommend that the costs of the proposed work be borne by the two cities in the following manner: Costs of rights of way and for land for disposal works to be borne equally by the two cities, and each to hold an individual one-half interest in all such property. Cost of all initial construction who journeyed to Santa Ana witness the Armistice proclaim it the most special ant of the kind ever hey, and Anaheim plays part. The Anaheim band was there, leading divisions, beautiful floors decorated autos fro were in line, the Ana post marched with them and blue from all sections, and the voice of Cap Henry's cannon was heard intervals while the parade. The great procession more than three miles long in the six American Legion county, several hundred being in line. Only 4 Anaheim post were in Orange, with more than 65 members pressed up the cup for the large number of members in the parade.

The route is almost directly south from the present disposal plant of the city of Anaheim and presents no unusual difficulties in construction. "I respectfully recommend for this outfall a 22 inch pipe, which will give a capacity at the minimum grade of 730 miners inches, and will allow for an increased flow of 315 inches of 570 per cent above our present maximum sewage flow of 55 inches. "I estimate that this line can be built at a total cost of $162,395. The proportion for the city of Anaheim in the joint outfall is 25 per cent of $207,655.58 or $51,913.90 and 50 per cent of right of way and disposal site costs of $72,000, or $16,000. This makes a total estimated cost of the entire outfall for the city of Anaheim of $230,308.90. "The present bonding capacity of the city of Anaheim is $396,187, which will provide funds for this construction for any emergency which may arise in the immediate future. "Both in construction costs and engineering standpoint this present plan commends itself and I strongly recommend that it be adopted and that it be pushed as rapidly as possible to completion." The joint report of Mr. Steward and Mr. Hoy on the construction of the line from the junction point to the ocean is as follows: We, your committee consisting of O. E. Steward and W. W. Hoy, appointed to investigate the matter of a joint outfall sewer, beg to submit the following report: We have made surveys of various routes and have determined the nearest feasible junction point to be the point of intersection of the east line of section 32, township 5 south, A pat on the bac koften gives a discouraged man a harder mental jolt than a blow on the neck. We would respectfully recommend that the costs of the proposed work be borne by the two cities in the following manner: Costs of rights of way and for land for disposal works to be borne equally by the two cities, and each to hold an individual one-half interest in all such property. Cost of all initial construction of the joint pipe line and disposal works to be borne by each of the two cities in the proportion that the volume of the sewage from each city bears to the total volume of sewage from both cities, the volume of sewage to be accurately determined over a period of three months, or longer if found advisable, by the use of similar recording gauges. Each city shall own an undivided interest in the pipe line and disposal works in proportion as each city shall bear the cost of initial construction, said interest to apply to capacity as well as to real property, and no readjustment shall be made until such time as the volume of sewage from either city exceeds the proportion of the capacity owned by such city, and any readjustment to be made at such time shall be made in such manner as may be determined by the joint board. The cost of maintenance and repairs in any given calendar year shall be borne by each city in the proportion its volume of sewage bears to the total volume of sewage during the preceding year, and the determination of such volume shall be made by the engineers of the two cities jointly. Another notable feature division was the Santa Ana production of the Fremont aversion of the A. E.

Hundreds of persons from this city who journeyed to Santa Ana Friday to witness the Armistice day parade, proclaim it the most spectacular pageant of the kind ever held in the county, and Anaheim played a conspicuous part. The Anaheim Municipal band was there, leading one of the divisions, beautiful floats and numerous decorated autos from this city were in line, the American Legion post marched with the boys in khaki and blue from all sections of the county, and the voice of Captain Alexander was presented by the Santa Ana Chamber of Commerce. Fullerton union high school was awarded the cup presented by tile Santa Ana Merchants' and Manufacturers' association for the most appropriate entry in Division II, the education division. The cup presented by Roy C. Peterson for the most appropriate entry in Division III, the miscellaneous division, was awarded to Bob White, of Anaheim, Orange county agent for the Franklin automobile. Santa Ana Elks were awarded the cup presented by William C. Lorenz for the most appropriate entry in Division IV, the public welfare division. Special praise was given by the judges in awarding to Orange post of the American Legion the cup presented by Santa Ana post, No. 131, of the legion, for the best unit of that organization. Attendance counted in awarding the last prize and the Orange post was first with 71 members, or 1 per cent of the post membership. Anaheim was second with 48, or 28 per cent of the membership and Fullerton was last with 33, or 32 per cent. Though it was awarded no prize, the Garden Grove float won the praise of the judges for its great beauty and, with the Orange Legion and Santa Ana high school floats was given special mention. DOLLY DIMPLES DRAWS A FULL HOUSE SIXTEEN HUNDRED DOLLARS ADDED TO THE ELKS CHRISTMAS FUND BY THE PLAY California Theatre Crowded With an Appreciative Audience Monday Night—Play Admirably Presented by Local Talent, With Miss Gladys Head in Title Role—Carnival Under Auspices of American Legion in Full Operation. Sixteen hundred dollars was added to the Elks' Christmas Fund, and thirteen hundred spectators witnessed a delightful entertainment at the California theatre Monday night, when "Dolly Dimples" was presented by an entire cast of local talent. The play, a musical comedy, was a good one to begin with, and whoever picked the cast made happy selections, as every character in it was admirably sustained. Miss Gladys Head took the role of "Dolly Dimples," and her rendition lingered on. who journeyed to Santa Ana Friday to witness the Armistice day parade, proclaim it the most spectacular pageant of the kind ever held in the county, and Anaheim played a conspicuous part. The Anaheim Municipal band was there, leading one of the divisions, beautiful floats and numerous decorated autos from this city were in line, the American Legion post marched with the boys in khaki and blue from all sections of the county, and the voice of Captain Alexander Henry's cannon was heard at regular intervals while the parade was on. The great procession, which was more than three miles long, was led by the six American Legion posts of the county, several hundred of the boys being in line. Only 48 members of Anaheim post were in line, therefore Orange, with more than fifty per cent of its membership present, was awarded the cup for the largest percentage of members in the parade. The periodic booming of a cannon and the brief appearance of a lone airman, whose whirring plane was heard above the buildings, added to the military aspect given to the parade by the ex-service men, the older veterans, national guard, and the half dozen bands that participated. Six motorcycle officers, of city and county, formed an advance patrol to clear the line of march. Following them came the parade leaders, riding abreast on five chargers. Col. S. M. Finley, as grand marshal, was flanked on either side by his aides. The national guard company, Wray's Santa Ana band, Legion posts of Santa Ana, Anaheim, Orange, Fullerton and Brea with auxiliary and other patriotic organizations were found in the van of the parade. The overseas platoon of Santa Ana post No. 131, received a great ovation, as did the colors which the 364th infantry carried in France, borne by E. E. Smith, of this city, who followed it in the Argonne. The posts were strongly represented in the parade by members and also with impressive floats. Orange post, No. 323, reproduced a row of graves, marked with white crosses. This float bore the slogan, "Lest We Forget." Another notable feature of the first division was the Santa Ana post's reproduction of the French box car, pet aversion of the A. E. F.

OIL MAN MEETS DEATH IN ACCIDENT AT WELLS Henry Smith Succumbs to Blood Polis on After Foot is Amputated Henry Smith, an employee of the Union Oil company at Brea, died at the sanitarium in this city Thursday afternoon from injuries received while on duty the previous day. His foot caught in the cogs of a machine and the leg was badly mangled. Companions tied a rope around his leg to stop the flow of blood and he was rushed to the sanitarium, where it was found necessary to amputate the leg. The shock and loss of blood were so great that the physicians had little hope of saving his life, and he died Thursday afternoon. He leaves a wife and two small children on a little ranch near Placentia. Henry lived for many years in this city. He was a hard-working young man and his tragic death is deplored by all his acquaintances. Coroner C. D Brown held an inquest on the body Friday afternoon, and after hearing the testimony of Dr. Johnston and Wickett, declared that death was due to gas gangrene, a very rare disease. Dr. Wickett stated that in the hospitals in France during the war physicians frequently encountered this disease, but it was seldom met with outside of the war. It acted with remarkable speed in Smith's case. COSTA MESA FAMILY HAS RARE MALADY Seven Members Stricken With a Strange Dysentery Stricken with a strange dysentery of the shega type, one child is dead, another seriously ill and five others in the family of Eugene Wygant, of Costa Mesa, are recovering. This kind of dysentery is uncommon, said Dr. H. E. Zaiser, superintendent of the county hospital. It was this same disease that brought death to Sixteen hundred dollars was added to the Elks' Christmas Fund, and thirteen hundred spectators witnessed a delightful entertainment at the California theatre Monday night, when "Dolly Dimples" was presented by an entire cast of local talent. The play, a musical comedy, was a good one to begin with, and whoever picked the cast made happy selections, as every character in it was admirably sustained. Miss Gladys Head took the role of "Dolly Dimples," and her rendition was perfect. Miss Head has already gained considerable local reputation as an amateur actress, and she added considerable to it by the manner I which she impersonated Dolly. Earl Abbey, Walter Cadman, Fayette Lewis, Doc Barnes, Harry Riley and Oscar Heying all sustained heavy parts, and each demonstrated beyond dispute that he would have made a considerable mark in the world had he chosen the stage as his career. Mrs. Charles Harbeson ably sustained her part as chaperon to Miss Dolly and there were many others who acted their parts to perfection. All of the seats in the house were sold two days before the date of the entetrainment, and many more could have been sold had there been room in the house. The money will be used in buying Christmas presents for poor children and Christmas boxes for indigent families. This is "A Good Time Week" in Anaheim. The American Legion boys have so named it, and they are providing the entertainment. If anybody in this city or vicinity fails to take advantage of the opportunity the legion is not to blame—it is his own fault. For the carnival is with us again with all its varied attractions and Anaheim post, American Legion stands sopnorsor for it and guarantees that all who attend will be able to purchase a vast amount of entertainment for very little money. The profits are all going into the post treasury to be used in building the club house which the boys hope to construct on their Broadway lot some day. The aggregation which the boys have engaged travels under the name of "The Greater Sheesley Shows," its principal attraction being a trained wild animal exhibition. The Sheesley shows have the reputation of being one of the best carnival outfits on the road, and presents many splendid attractions. The The posts were strongly represented in the parade by members and also with impressive floats. Orange post, No. 323, reproduced a row of graves, marked with white crosses. This float bore the slogan, "Lest We Forget." Another notable feature of the first division was the Santa Ana post's reproduction of the French box car, pet aversion of the A.E.F. With its inscription "Forty hommes and eight chevaux," in remembrance of the French custom of crowding forty men and eight horses into each car, the float held the further realism of a "crap game" being in full swing among the doughboys who rode in it. Cities and communities of the county joined heartily with Santa Ana in making the parade a success. Anaheim, Fullerton, Brea, Orange, Balboa and Seal Beach were represented by motor and foot delegations, floats and bands. It was a splendid display of co-operation in the great Armistice day appeal for peace and progress. In size and splendor the parade was the greatest ever held in the county. Several miles in length, it was a succession of striking features. Unmarred by delay or accident, it was a triumph of artistic and dramatic taste. Awards of silver-bronze loving cups for the most fitting entries in the Armistice day parade were made by the judges immediately after the parade. The Santa Ana Ebell club, with its Float of the Nations was awarded the sweepstakes cup for the best decorated and most appropriate float of the parade. The cup was presented by the Orange county Associated Chambers of Commerce. Santa Ana post, No. 131, American Legion, won the cup for the most appropriate entry in Division I, the Americanization division. The cup Seven Members Stricken With a Strange Dysentery Stricken with a strange dysentery of the shega type, one child is dead, another seriously ill and five others in the family of Eugene Wygant, of Costa Mesa, are recovering. This kind of dysentery is uncommon, said Dr. H. E. Zaiser, superintendent of the county hospital. It was this same disease that brought death to two members of the family of the Rev. E.J.Rudnick, then pastor of the Lutheran church in Santa Ana, about three years ago. Efforts to trace the cause of the attacks in the Wygant family have failed. Dr. Zaiser said that in this type of dysentery some kind of food poisoning is supposed to be responsible. In the Rudnick cases, at the time, it was thought the eating of spoiled dates or loquats was the cause. The first illness in the Wygant family occurred a week ago Thursday at their ranch home at Costa Mesa, to which place the family moved from Los Angeles four months ago. Monday seven members of the family were taken to the county hospital. Two only, the father and one daughter, were not attacked. Alice, aged 2, died last Wednesday. The baby of the family is still quite seriously ill. Filing of a certified copy of articles of incorporation for the J.E.Walter company, organized to conduct a garage and machine shop at Anaheim, revealed that the concern is capitalized at $200,000, and that the directors are J.E.Walter, Winifred Walter and T.L. DePew. The certified copy of articles was received at the county clerk's office from the office of the secretary of state. Ing into the post treasury to be used in building the club house which the boys hope to construct on their Broadway lot some day. The aggregation which the boys have engaged travels under the name of "The Greater Sheesley Shows," its principal attraction being a trained wild animal exhibition. The Sheesley shows have the reputation of being one of the best carnival outfits on the road, and presents many splendid attractions. The trained wild animal manager is the most complete ever seen with a show of this kind. Lions, leopards, bears, pumas and panthers vie with one another in the most sensational acts that speak volumes for the trainers that present them. The most thrilling act on the program is the performance of Captain Hart with Shelba, an untamed lion, with a record of four fatalities to her credit and long since considered hopeless by many trainers. Captain Hart enters the arena and for four fearsome minutes in which brute nature battles against her trainer's art, finally drives her helpless, raging and snarling back to her cage beaten by a superior force she cannot understand. In addition to the animal show there are numerous concessions presenting freaks and marvels that are worth seeing, and you find almost anything your fancy dictates. There is entertainment to suit all tastes, and you can listen to the barkers and take your choice. If you are not interested in the giant, perhaps the fat lady or the big snake would have an attraction for you. At any rate it will cost you nothing to take a trip around midway and read the messages the gaudy paintings convey. The show arrived Monday morning on a special of twenty-five cars, and the tents were speedily put up on the SAMPLE FULL STAGE DOLLARS ADD-THRISTMAS PLAY awarded With an inference Monday by Presented by Miss Gladys Carnival Under Legion in Full cars was added Fund, and thirs witnessed a night, when presented by an agent.

Mills' Sedan Crashes Into Truck in the Darkness In a collision between a Ford sedan and a heavily loaded truck at Laguna station, six miles from Los Angeles Friday evening, A. A. Mills, O. T. Callor and Albert P. Roberts, all of this city, were seriously injured. The sedan was owned by Mr. Mills, who was driving it. Messrs. Callor and Roberts having accompanied him to Los Angeles, and they were on the way home when the accident occurred. Both Mills and Callor were seriously injured. Mr. Mills sustained a fracture of the left shoulder and left arm, received numerous bruises and cuts, and probably received internal injuries. Mr. Callor had both legs fractured and his chest was slightly crushed. Mr. Roberts was slightly cut and bruised, and although it was necessary to take him to the hospital for treatment, no bones were broken and his injuries were slight in comparison with those received by his two companions. All the occupants of the car were rendered unconscious by the collision, and were picked up by John B.

At every meeting of the city trustees that body is called upon to consider new sub-divisions, new tracts and new plats submitted by owners of land in the outskirts who contemplate cutting it into lots and disposing of it for building purposes. Several such petitions were on the clerk's table when the trustees met Thursday night. One of the petitioners was W. J. Heinze, who is opening a tract at West and Santa Ana streets.

Mr. Roberts was slightly cut and bruised, and although it was necessary to take him to the hospital for treatment, no bones were broken and his injuries were slight in comparison with those received by his two companions. All the occupants of the car were rendered unconscious by the collision, and were picked up by John B. Haws, of Los Angeles, who took them to the receiving hospital, where their injuries were dressed. The following day they were all brought to this city in an ambulance. These victims of the unfortunate accident are all prominent citizens of this city. Mr. Mills being a rancher and dairyman, Mr. Cailor one of the leading attorneys, being a member of the firm of Tipton & Cailor, and Mr. Roberts, a draughtsman. Although first reports were that Mr. Mills was supposed to be fatally injured, according to later information all are on the road to recovery. It is stated that the truck with which their car collided was standing in the road without a light, and the sedan crashed into it in the darkness. It was facing them, and it is presumed Mr. Mills, driver of the sedan, was blinded by the headlights of an approaching auto. The sedan was completely demolished. Mills being catalupted through the windshield and Callor through the roof. All three occupants were picked up unconscious and remained in that condition for several hours. ORANGE COUNTY BOY BURIED AT ARLINGTON The mortal remains of Private Ernest L. Kellogg, member of the "Lost Battalion," who met his death with that unit in France, lie at rest in grave No. 2549, in the world war section of Arlington cemetery, according to word received from the quartermaster general's department, by J. C. Kellogg, 603 Orange avenue, Santa Ana, the boy's father. The communication states that "regarding the disposal of Private Ernest Kellogg, in accordance with your request the remains were returned to the United States and were interred with full military solemnity in the world war section of Arlington national cemetery. The grave is marked with a marble headstone bearing the name of the deceased, and is number 2549." Kellogg was a member of E com- In every meeting of the city wantees that body is called upon to consider new sub-divisions, new tracts and new plats submitted by owners of land in the outskirts who contemplate cutting it into lots and disposing of it for building purposes. Several such petitions were on the clerk's table when the trustees met Thursday night. One of the petitioners was W. J. Helinze, who is opening a tract at West and Santa Ana streets. The sub-division of Mrs. Gross at Crone avenue and Walnut street was also considered, and both accepted. The Fern tract, which is proposed to open, was referred to the city manager for further consideration, and owners of a twenty-acre tract on West street, south of Santa Ana, are desirous of opening it for building purposes, but must have official action on the opening of streets and alleys. Habit of the city's lights to wink out for a few minutes at unseasonable hours has been the cause of much exasperation among the people in the business district .and a communication was presented to the board asking if something could be done to prevent it, as it caused great inconvenience to the people in the store and also furnished a great opportunity to thieves. The city attorney stated that he had interviewed the gas company relative to installing emergency gas jets, but found that it would be a violation of their franchise, and nothing could be done. City Electrician Hannum stated that his department was already considering the matter and he hoped to be able to prevent any recurrence of the cause of complaint. Another protest against paving Chartres street was received from property owners, and filed with those which had been previously received. Owing to the present high cost of paving a large number of the people of that thoroughfare are desirous of postponing proceedings for the present, but are willing to pave when the cost is reduced. The board took no further action in the matter, but may advertise for bids later in order to learn what it will cost to do the work. The board has the power to reject all bids. In response to an invitation to attend the meeting of the League of the Southwest at Riverside, it was decided that City Manager Steward should accept and make one of these present, provided his duties would permit him to get away. Bids for the building on the city park site, which has been advertised for sale are provided. The bid of Wil- Orange avenue, Santa Ana, the boy's father. The communication states that "regarding the disposal of Private Ernest Kellogg, in accordance with your request the remains were returned to the United States and were interred with full military solemnity in the world war section of Astington national cemetery. The grave is marked with a marble headstone bearing the name of the deceased, and is number 2549." Kellogg was a member of E company, 308th infantry, having been transferred from the local company in which he enlisted. SALVAGING SUGAR It is estimated that 150,000 bags of sugar was lost to the company in the fire that recently destroyed the warehouse of the Los Alamitos sugar factory, but it was not a dead loss. A Los Angeles salvaging company has purchased the damaged stock, paying fifty cents a sack, and is putting it in new sacks and hauling it away. The salvage company expects to get a hundred thousand bags out of the ruins. Although ruined for ordinary use the sugar can be disposed of for certain purposes. Deputy sheriffs Saturday night combed a considerable portion of the county in search of gambling devices, and as a result gathered in four slot machines and two punch boards. At Talbert they confiscated punch boards from A. Rodriguez and Pedro Pementa, billiard hall and soft drink house proprietors. Slot machines were taken from the places of R. J. Tashima, at Wintersburg; Raymond Montana, of South Lemon street, Anaheim; N. Nakamate, of Garden Grove, and A. O. Cole, Garden Grove. A large number of Anaheim people attended the funeral of C. B. Berger, which was held at Orange last Thursday. The Masonic lodge, the Eastern Star and Chamber of Commerce were largely represented.
