Present Messrs. Champlin, Boege, Davis, Bittner and President Zeyn.

Mr. Richard Melrose has sold his lot on the northeasterly corner of Los Angeles and Second North streets to the Messrs. Backs Bros., who propose to erect thereon a two story building for the manufacture and sale of furniture. Somebody stole some chickens from Mr. Rimpau's residence last night. The rascal was pursued and shot at. From the Gazette, Dec. 17, 1896 From the Pasadena Star: A horrible rumor comes from Anaheim, if we may credit the Gazette (and we trust that Henry Kuchel wouldn't lie about a little thing like that) that a citizen has been set upon by footpads who cudged him with great diligence and tried to rob him—but got nothing. It was not so in the good old days when we lived there. Then if a robber had the enterprise to waylay a citizen on the highway, he was sure of something—if nothing more than a broken head. Henry, these no degenerate days and we weep with you. (The above was written by Chas. A. Gardner then editor of the Pasadena Star and fifty years ago editor of the Gazette. Mr. Gardner still resides at Pasadena, but has long since reformed, and for years has been out of the newspaper business. From the Los Angeles Express: Anaheim is all torn up on account of the presence of burglars, who threaten to steal some of the pretty girls down there.

We visited the rink at Los Angeles the other evening and enjoyed the spectacle very much. The proprietors, Messrs. Bent and Ralph, offer to sell the right for Anaheim and we think some of our citizens would do well to buy it and open a rink here. Mr. Michael Reese, proprietor of the Alamitos ranch and one of the wealthiest men in the state, was in Anaheim yesterday. He had a conference with F. Schneider, Esq., president of the Anaheim Lighter company, the object of his visit being mainly to arrange the business relations existing between himself and that corporation. We acknowledge receipt, through the courtesy of Hon. T. D. Mott, our representative at Sacramento, of a paraphtlet entitled "The Railroad System of California," which has already been more fully noticed in these columns.

On the Bolsa Chica, near the Westminster colony, stands a corn crib 128 feet long, 8 feet wide and 14 feet high full of corn. This crop was raised by Col. John L. Strong, he informs us, without the use of either team or tools—after the ground was plowed and harrowed—than long handled shovels and hoes. The crib contains about 4000 sacks of shelled corn, and is said to be the largest in the county. Col. Strong informs us that he had about a thousand cents destroyed by stock and saved the remainder by herding eight and day. Only about half the land was irrigated. The People's Advocate, a newspaper started by Major Max Strobel and Capt. George C. Knox, was consolidated with the Gazette. The People's Advocate was published in a house at the northwest corner of Lemon and Broadway. The Gazette was printed in a building which stood within Lincoln drug store now consolidated.

ORDER SMALLER JAIL Plans for the proposed county jail upon which bids were rejected, have been abandoned and John A. Parkinson, architect, has been directed to draw new plans and specifications for a smaller building to cost not more than $125,000, the aggregate of the lowest bids under the old specifications totalled $21r,000. The new plans will provide for a jail building covering the front of the two foot lot and a depth of 15 feet. The bandoned plans provided (ora structure covering the entire lot, 100x125 feet). Whether the new structure will be two or three stories is for the architect to decide. A number of cells will have to be eliminated and other rooms in the jail will have to be left out or made smaller in order to make it possible to build within the limit placed by the board. The new structure will be designed so that an addition may be built ten or twelve years hence, if it becomes necessary. WARNINGS TO TOURISTS Southern California's touring season for the winter months is at its height this week, according to a report just issued by the Automobile Club of Southern California, and there are many notices of vital importance to all auto owners to be considered. Any motorist from this section who is contemplating a tour through Tuareg county, for instance, must beware the speed cops there from now on. If you speed more than 45 miles per hour in the vicinity of Tuareg you will be put in jail. This warning is issued to all who may read. Motorists intending to visit Little Bear valley in the near future will find the store there closed, so parties are only vacated for two minutes. Take no chances with the auto thieves! New state licenses can be secured through the auto club two weeks earlier than you will be able to get them from the motor vehicle department, as a matter of convenience to thousands of club members in this section. Make your applications early is the advice just sent out. CALIFORNIA'S EARLY DAYS The early days of California's modern historical era are brought to mind by the discovery and sale of the Fort Sutter papers of 1846-47.—papers which long have been lost. Finding of these treasured documents has been hailed as the greatest historical discovery of a generation. An art and book concern of New York purchased these papers for an unnanmed client. It may have been Henry E. Huntington. But, whoever the buyer, he doubtless will preserve the papers with assiduous care and they eventually, if not from the present time, will repose in some California library or museum. California's history is replete with romantic interest. Go back, in research, to the days when the renowed rovers of the sea first were skirting these shores—there was romance then. Follow the warp and woof of this region's history as it became part of Mexico and as, in due process, the padre came to establish the famous missions—there was romance then. And inerwoven with the romantic events were the Indians of California—the inspiration of Helen Hunt Jackson in writing "Ramona." And the fateful discovery of gold—what a romance was that. And what romance in the coming of the Argonauts—that long line of hardy wooers of fortune who braved the perils of the plains, the mountains and the desert, or who made the hazardous journey region for tourists and sightseers—what romance in its shifting scenes of activity, its phenomenal progress and its amazing wealth! California verily is the Land of Romance. HARMFUL IDEALISM The Los Angeles City club has sent a letter to President Harding containing these declarations: We expect you to do everything in your power to bring about world disarmament, and nothing less: We believe the hour has come when America shall lead the way in abolishing war, and lend her power at this time of her opportunity to that end: Therefore, we are looking to you to aid us in the realization of that great est of all human ideals, "Peace on earth, good will to men." President Harding did not call the Washington conference to discuss world disarmament and the subject will not be mentioned there. The president is too good a friend to peace and too hopeful of seeing the conference achieve some practical result, to risk its success—to bring about its certain failure indeed—by laying any such proposal before it America has neither proposed world disarmament nor the abolition of war, and for very good reasons. Disarmament is not practicable nor sensible and war can not be abolished by resolution or proclamation. What the Washington conference will attempt to do is, first, to remove by understanding some of the provocatives to war that now exist in the Pacific ocean and second, to agree upon future armaments that will put an end, not to existing navies, but to competitive building. If the Washington conference does those two things it will have succeeded greatly. If it attempts to do more it will fail conspicuously and its failure will leave the world worse off than it now is for... Any motorist from this section who is contemplating a tour through Tulare county, for instance, must be aware the speed cops there from now on. If you speed more than 45 miles per hour in the vicinity of Tulare you will be put in jail. This warning is issued to all who may read. Motorists intending to visit Little Bear valley in the near future will find the store there closed, so parties having children in them should remember this and not have the youngsters go foodless over night by arriving at Little Bear expecting to purge their grub. Flash-light signals, warning autos of danger in night by flashing a red light are to be erected throughout this and other southern counties by the auto club, according to an announcement just made. These signals are to be erected in connection with the club's signing system at the most important points of danger. Auto thieves are becoming more daring this winter than ever before in the history of the west, and motorists are advised by the theft bureau officials to take extra precaution this month in locking cars if they padres came to establish the famous missions—there was romance then. And inerwoven with the romantic events were the Indians of California that inspiration of Helen Hunt Jackson in writing "Ramona." And the fateful discovery of gold—what a romance was that And what romance in the coming of the Argonauts—that long line of hardy wooers of fortune who braved the perils of the plains, the mountains and the desert, or who made the hazardous journey around the Horn! And as California was wrested from Mexico; as it settled up and became a state; and as it took on its varied development; and as it became the Washington conference will attempt to do is, first, to remove by understanding some of the provocatives to war that now exist in the Pacific ocean and second, to agree upon future armaments that will put an end, not to existing navies, but to competitive building. If the Washington conference does those two things it will have succeeded greatly. If it attempts to do more it will fall conspicuously and its failure will leave the world worse off than it now is, for the armaments race will be on again at greater speed than ever. "Peace on earth, good will to men" is a great ideal, but it cannot be attained by abolishing the police. TRY SCHNEIDERS MARKET FOR QUALITY MEATS The Quality Meat Shop 131 West Center Street "Will You Excuse It, Please There Is No One on the Line Now" Mistakes are bound to happen. We all make them. When your telephone bell rings and the operator says "Will excuse it please, there "Will You Excuse It, Please—There Is No One on the Line Now." Mistakes are bound to happen. We all make them. When your telephone bell rings and the operator says, "Will excuse it please, there is no one on the line now," she is not responsible for your annoyance and inconvenience. The occasion for the use of the phrase most frequently arises when the called party is slow to answer—the calling subscriber does not wait and hangs up his telephone. Many times daily telephone users call wrong numbers—use incorrect prefixes, such as "Main" for "Market"—transpose figures, such as 5342 for 5432. Suddenly realizing their mistakes, they hang up their telephone. Without fault or negligence on her part the telephone operator is left to explain, and the sentence first quoted is that adopted as most briefly and concisely covering the situation. 38-TIMELY SUGGESTIONS-38 For Christmas FLASHLIGHTS PYRALIN IVORY ROLL-UP MANICURE SETS MANICURE SHEARS THERMOS BOTTLES THERMOS LUNCH KITS UNIVERSAL VACUUM BOTTLE UNIVERSAL LUNCH KIT ALUMINUM HOT WATER BOTTLE HOT WATER BAGS WATERMAN PENS SHAEFFER PENS EVER-SHARP PENCILS PERFume AND POWDER SETS PACKAGE PERFUMES TOILET WATERS CAMERAS KODAK ALBUMS ELECTRIC HEATING PADS DJER-KISS SETS MOTOR DRIVEN VIBRATORS $5.00 ALARM CLOCKS CIGARS IN SMALL BOXES CIGARETTES IN CARTONS FANCY CANDY IN BOXES CHOICE STATIONERY MILITARY BRUSHES COMBS ANR BRUSHES PLAYING CARDS RAZORS AND MUGS SAFETY RAZORS (All Makes) LATHER BRUSHES COIN PURSES BILL FOLDS STAR VIBRATORS HAMILTON-BEACH VIBRATORS MAGAZINE SUBSCRIPTIONS SHAVING STANDS Heying's Pharmacy "On the Corner."
