VOLUME LI CAREER ENDED OF PROMINENT CITIZEN H. CLAY KELLOGG CALLED BY DEATH, FOLLOWING OPERATION AT SANITARIUM Was a Pioneer Resident of Anaheim, Coming Here Fifty-Two Years Ago—For Many Years Acted as Engineer for the Anaheim Union Water Company, and Was Leading Authority on Water Conditions in the County. H. Clay Kellogg, for many years one of the most prominent men in Orange county, died at the Anaheim sanitarium at 7:40 o'clock Friday morning after undergoing an operation for ulcerated stomach. Mr. Kellogg was brought to the sanitarium from his home in Santa Ana a week previously, and after taking X-ray pictures of his stomach the physicians agreed that an operation was necessary, but left the decision to him. He consented, construction of the great mausoleum at Oakland. To a first marriage, one child was born, Mrs. Ralph Michelsen, of Anaheim. To a second union were born two daughters and two sons, Helen, Hiram Clay, Jr., Leonard Franklin, and Oahu Rose, who reside at the home in Santa Ana with their mother. He is also survived by his mother, Mrs. Mary O. Kellogg, 89, of the Garden Grove road, who drove across the plains in a wagon in the early days, and two brothers and three sisters, Mrs. L. A. Evans, of Anaheim; Mrs. Mary O. Clark, Paradise; Cal.; Mrs. Carrie E. Bird, Los Angeles; E. L. Kellog, Van Nuys, and Leonard Kellogg, of Los Angeles, now on the water en route to Gautemala and southern Mexico. Funeral was held at Mills & Winbigler's chapel at Santa Ana Tuesday afternoon. The remains are to be laid to rest in the Anaheim mausoleum, but owing to the high-waters interment was not made Tuesday. ANAHEIMERS IN COUNTY SYMPHONY ORCHESTRA Harold E.

The forty musicians are H. Clay Kellogg, for many years one of the most prominent men in Orange county, died at the Anaheim sanitarium at 7:40 o'clock Friday morning after undergoing an operation for ulcerated stomach. Mr. Kellogg was brought to the sanitarium from his home in Santa Ana a week previously, and after taking X-ray pictures of his stomach the physicians agreed that an operation was necessary, but left the decision to him. He consented, and the operation was performed on Thursday. Weakened by disease he was unable to withstand the shock, and died the following morning. Mr. Kellogg came to Anaheim with his parents in 1869, at the age of 14 years, and grew to manhood here. After graduating in the Anaheim schools he studied civil engineering, and made that his life work. Living in this county for more than half a century he was familiar with the topography of the county as well as other sections of southern California, and was a recognized authority on water conditions. As engineer for the Anaheim Union Water company, he built the Yorba reservoir and was many times called as consulting engineer on works of large moment throughout the southwest. The death of Mr. Kellogg removes one of the mast active figures in the county. His familiarity with the streams and waterways and their vagaries, made him the chief authority and the best posted man in the county on water conditions, and his passing is a distinct loss. A month ago, at a meeting of the conservation committee of the Associated Chambers of Commerce, held at the water office in this city, he made a speech on the best method of conserving the waters of the Santa Ana river, and gave the committee some valuable information and advice. This was probably his last public utterance. He was born at St. Helena, Napa county, Sept. 9, 1855, and located in Orange county in 1869. He graduated in 1879 from Wilson college at Wilmington, now extinct. He early displayed an inclination toward civil engineering and during his college days he made the triangulations for the survey of Willmington and San Pedro harbors. After leaving school, he was engaged for considerable time in surveying for vineyards at Anaheim and Pasadena. In 1883 he laid out the town of Elsinore. ANAHEIMERS IN COUNTY SYMPHONY ORCHESTRA Harold E. Walberg, organizer and director of the Orange County Symphony orchestra, announces that the orchestra will soon be ready to open its second season with a concert in Fullerton. The forty musicians are now being reheased upon the following numbers: Schubert's Unfinished Symphony, the March from "Aida," Zamecnik's "Slavonic Fancies," and Suppe's Morning, Noon and Night. Walberg promises a 100 per cent improvement over last year's successful season, due to the additional enthusiastic musicians enrolled. He and his players are contributing their efforts and talent toward the development of an appreciation of good symphonic music throughout northern Orange county. The personnel of the orchestra comprises three Placentia residents, W. M. Bradford, cornet, and Francis and William Dowling, cello and bass viol; while from Fullerton there are H. C. Benbow, violin; the Misses Gladys and Hattie Conn, violin and piano; W. J. Gerry, bass viol; Merton Harlow and Miss Ida May Shrode, cello; Gilbert Murray, Russell Neely, and the Misses Venita Robb and Clara Stephenson, second violin; Elzo Smith, cornet; and R. W. Criswell, flute. From Anaheim there are Emil Caruthers, second violin; the Misses Elizabeth Donnelly and Frances Wallace, cello; Otto Krastel, second violin; Oswald Stock and Ed Urbigkeft, trombone; Lawrence Tozier and E. B. Tozier, clarinet; Cecil Tozier, oboe; and J. Taylor Hart, violin-trumpet. Orange contributes Charles Mason, drums; and E. B. Mallos, trombone; La Habra, Charles Shirkey, flute; Miss Louise Nichols, violin; and Betsy Gurley, bass viol; Graham Bernard S. Berns, violin, and two others from Los Angeles. SUIT OVER OIL STOCK Coming up to earlier expectations, the suit of N. M. Durkee against E. Walter Pyne, involving a dispute over oil stock alleged to have been received by Pyne in connection with the leasing of oil rights on property near Richfield, was subjected to further delay when the case came up to be set for trial in department one of the Hundreds of people throughout northern New York confronted a gleam of sunshine.

After leaving school, he was engaged for considerable time in surveying for vineyards at Anaheim and Pasadena. In 1883 he laid out the town of Elsinore. In 1884 he was employed as chief engineer for the Anaheim Union Water company, and was consulting engineer for that company until his death. He was also consulting engineer for the Santa Ana Development company, holding company for the Anaheim Union Water company and the Santa Ana Valley Irrigation company. In 1885 he was appointed deputy surveyor of Los Angeles county. In 1888, he surveyed, built and operated for eight months a railway from the center of the city of San Bernardino through Colton, Riverside, now a part of the Southern Pacific system. In 1886-87 he laid out the city of Corona. He was engaged there until 1900 in the development of a water system. In 1894 he was engaged in the building of the Gila, Ariz., dam. He then returned to Orange county and in 1899 was elected county surveyor, which office he held until elected city engineer of Santa Ana. In 1900 he went to Honolulu as chief engineer for a water company which constructed two large reservoirs. In 1910 he installed a system of storm drains and sewers in Corona. For a number of years he has been prominent in the construction of bridges in Orange county, as head of the Orange County Engineering & Construction company.

Hundreds of people, old and young, throughout northern Orange county, many of them confronted by a dark and dreary Christmas season, enjoyed a gleam of sunshine because the Elks lodge was founded on a principle of charity, and because its members believe it is the duty of man to dispense happiness whenever possible. Throughout the year the Anaheim Elks collect a fund to be used at Christmas time and as the day an will be held some time during the month of January. No definite date has been set for the general house-warming, however, and Secretary Goff said it might be postponed a few weeks. BERKENSTOCK HOME SCENE OF BIRTHDAY PARTY The home of Mr. and Mrs. William Berkenstock was the scene of a very pretty surprise party Monday evening when a number of guests gathered together in honor of Mr. Leland Smith's birthday, the son-in-law of Mr. and Mrs. Berkenstock. The guests arrived about 9 o'clock and played "500" for part of the evening. Mrs. Berkenstock winning first prize, Mrs. Mary Smith second prize and Mrs. Victor Elmers receiving the consolation from the ladies; and the gentlemen's prizes, Leo Porter, first prize; Mr. Wm. Berkenstock the second prize and Donald Munger the consolation prize. After the cards the guests were invited to the banquet hall, where a table was very beautifully arranged in pink and green, with a huge cake of pink and white in the center of the table with little pink rosebuds instead of the usual candles of birthday cakes, which was lovely. After the refreshments had been served the party danced for the rest RAGING SANTAANA OVER FLOWS LOWLANDS BREAK IN EMBANKMENT ABOVE THE NORTH STREET BEND CAUSES INUNDATION Heavy Volume of Water Rolls Down Sandwash, Chasing Mexican Residents From Their Homes—Many Take Refuge in Sugar Factory—Lower Portions in North, East and South Sections of City Under Sheet of Water. Once again the shallow channel of the Santa Ana river proved inadequate to the strain of carrying safely to its mouth the flood waters pouring into it from the mountain region, and as a result lower sections of the north, east and south sections of the city were inundated, and as a measure of safety people abandoned their homes and took refuge on higher ground. In many instances the exodus was unnecessary, but at daylight Tuesday Hundreds of people, old and young, throughout northern Orange county, many of them confronted by a dark and dreary Christmas season, enjoyed a gleam of sunshine because the Elks lodge was founded on a principle of charity, and because its members believe it is the duty of man to dispense happiness whenever possible. Throughout the year the Anaheim Elks collect a fund to be used at Christmas time, and as the day approaches a list of needy people who would appreciate substantial assistance is secured. Christmas baskets were prepared and every person on the list in Anaheim, Fullerton, Placentia and surrounding country enjoyed an appetizing dinner, the vices being supplied by the Elks. Wherever a needy family was found relief was sent in. Just how many happy children crowded into the Fairyland theatre Friday afternoon to witness the entertainment given by the Elks, and to greet Santa Clause in person, we are unable to say, but the house was filled to its capacity with children ranging from four to fourteen years of age and everyone of them had a glorious time. The entertainment was scheduled to begin at 2:30 o'clock, but two hours before that time the little folks began to gather, and before the doors opened, the lobby, the sidewalk and the street in front of the building were crowded with noisy scrambling mass of happy and eager kids. The inmates of St. Catherine's orphanage were marched up in a body and filled a considerable section of the house. Finishing touches are being put on the new Elks' temple on North Los Angeles street, and arrangements are being made for a grand ball to be held on New Year's day in celebration of its completion. The building and its furnishings, it is said, cost $200,000, and its erection was a wonderful achievement for a lodge as young as the Anaheim lodge. The upstairs rooms, a number of which will be used as sleeping quarters by members of the lodge, were finished early last week and with the exception of a few additions are practically ready for occupancy by the clubmen who will make their homes in the building. There are fifteen private rooms on the second floor which will be used exclusively by the bachelors and other men who have craved accommodations of this kind. ter, first prize; Mr. Wm.

After the refreshments had been served the party danced for the rest of the evening until the wee small hours, enjoying themselves immensely. Those present were Mr. and Mrs. Leland Smith, and Mrs. Mary Smith, Mr. and Mrs. Lewis Lemke, Mr. and Mrs. Leo Porter, Mr. and Mrs. Edward Backs, Mr. and Mrs. Ray Smith, of Anaheim, Mr. and Mrs. Victor Eimers, Miss Nina Vance, Miss Ruth McDavid, Mr. Donald Munger and Mr. Bud Smith, of Fullerton—Courier. CHRISTMAN SENTENCED TO STATE PRISON Man Will Conduct to Murder Goes to Pen for Stealing Auto George St. Jean, alias George Christian, the Anaheim automobile mechanic, who has been in jail in Los Angeles for some weeks charged with stealing an auto, plead guilty in superior court Friday and was given an indeterminate sentence of from one to five years in San Quentin. St. Jean, while in jail startled the Los Angeles officials by confessing to a murder in New York City, giving gruesome details of how he killed Miss Leona Mayfield, formerly of Anaheim and San Juan Capistrano, and threw the body in a pool of water. An investigation revealed that the murder story was a myth, and the young lady is very much alive. After this investigation it is said that he told two additional stories which also were not substantiated by investigation. Despite his "confessions" St. Jean was arraigned before Judge Houser on the "joyriding" charge and entered a plea of guilty. He asked permission of the court to file an application for probation, but this was refused. Sentence was then pronounced. Once again the shallow channel of the Santa Ana river proved inadequate to the strain of carrying safely to its mouth the flood waters pouring into it from the mountain region, and as a result lower sections of the north, east and south sections of the city were inundated, and as a measure of safety people abandoned their homes and took refuge on higher ground. In many instances the exodus was unnecessary, but at daylight Tuesday morning the river was reported still rising, and fear of what might happen impelled many men and women to remove their families to a safer zone. The Mexican settlement near the sugar factor, north of the city limits, suffered most. The break in the river's bank came east of the North street bend, near Richfield. A 200-foot gap was torn in the bank., the swollen waters rushed through, undating the surrounding country. A number of the ranchers gathered their families in autos and brought them to this city for shelter. The overflow water was not deep enough to endanger life, but the rain was still falling, and it was impossible to guess what was happening up the river. The flood, pouring through the gap rushed down toward the city paralleling the river's channel. It spread throughout the lower sections of the city. Sonoratown, built mostly in the sand-wash, getting the heft of it. The water in some places here was several feet deep. The sugar factory was offered as a refuge to the imperiled people and they flocked there, scores of them being herded in the big warehouse. The flood was not deep, and little damage resulted from the inundation inside the city. On the east, between the city and the river, the greater portion of the land was under water, and the flood swung around to the south, back water causing much uneasiness to the inhabitants. Portions of South Los Angeles street and South Lemon street were covered with water, and South street was a running stream, but the water was nowhere deep enough to get into the houses. Tuesday morning the flood began to subside, and the excited people who had been surrounded took stock of the situation, and discovered that beyond being frightened they had received little or no injury. The North street bend, which has been regarded as the weakest spot in the river's embankment, withstood the current and is still holding. Probably The upstairs rooms, a number of which will be used as sleeping quarters by members of the lodge, were finished early last week and with the exception of a few additions are practically ready for occupancy by the clubmen who will make their homes in the building. There are fifteen private rooms on the second floor which will be used exclusively by the bachelors and other men who have craved accommodations of this kind. The ball room, which will be tastefully decorated for the New Year's dance, was given its final finishing touches Saturday and invitations have gone out to scores of Elks in Anxheim, Fullerton, Placentia, Santa Ana and other cities. A number of celebrities from visiting lodges are expected to be present and Secretary Goff has made arrangements to entertain a large number of guests. The women guests who attend the ball will find one of the most attractive ladies' receptions rooms in the entire west when they pass through the general lobby and enter the gravel and gold room in the south wing of the new building. There will be comfortable wicker chairs, soft-hued pink electric lights, cozy settees, dainty center tables, full length mirrors, heavy velvet tapestries, beautifully flowered, and innumerable little accessories dear to the feminine heart. There is a rose colored carpet and an exquisitely finished wash room and along the walls will be found slender wicker baskets containing roses and flowers of matchless beauty. The ladies' room is the last word in comfort and will hardly be outrivaled by anything of a similar nature on the Pacific coast. Following the New Year's bail, there will be a series of entertainments at the club house and it was regarded as probable that open house preliminary plans for the walnut growers' institute to be held at Santa Ana on January 13, were laid at a meeting of the executive committee on Wednesday night. A. J. McFadden, of Irvine, was elected temporary chairman of the committee. Other members of the committee, who are arranging the program for the institute are, Harry W. Lewis, Santa Ana; A. James Smiley, West Orange; George Ross, Anaheim; B. F. Porter, Fullerton, and F. E. Farnsworth, of Garden Grove. Mr. McFadden was appointed as a special speaker to farm centers in the walnut growing district to urge them to appoint committees an walnut growing. Chairman of these committees are to become permanent members of the executive committee of the farm bureau it war decided. The committee in charge is planning to make the institute an educational feature to walnut growers. Entertainment and refreshments will be included in the program for the day. Mr. Lewis and Mr. Smiley were appointed on a committee to look after this part of the program. An interesting feature of the institute is to be exhibited of foreign nuts, showing walnuts from Manchuria, China, France, England and from Oregon and northern California. These will be displayed from the collection of A. J. McFadden, of Irvine. Despite his "confessions" St. Jean was arraigned before Judge Houser on the "joyriding" charge and entered a plea of guilty. He asked permission of the court to file an application for probation, but this was refused. Sentence was then pronounced. WALNUT INSTITUTE Preliminary plans for the walnut growers' institute to be held at Santa Ana on January 13, were laid at a meeting of the executive committee on Wednesday night. A. J. McFadden, of Irvine, was elected temporary chairman of the committee. Other members of the committee, who are arranging the program for the institute are, Harry W. Lewis, Santa Ana; A.

These will be displayed from the collection of A. J. McFadden, of Irvine. The North street bend, which has been regarded as the weakest spot in the river's embankment, withstood the current and is still holding. Probably the break above relieved the pressure somewhat. The protection work put in below the Olive bridge by the Garden Grove protection district also held. The people of that town were nervous and apprehensive, as this was the first severe test of their handiwork since the leeve was built following the big floods of January, 1916. A break would have meant heavy damage to Garden Grove. City Manager Steward investigated the break above the city Tuesday, and stated that the water would continue to flow through until the gap was plugged. He said a couple of thousand bags of sand would stop it temporarily, but it would require piling to make a permanent job of it. On the whole, little or no damage was caused by the flood. Orange groves are not damaged by an overflow unless a current sweeps through and cuts away the soil or deposits large quantities of sand. On the contrary, it is claimed, a backwater infundation is a benefit to the trees as it deposits a rich sediment on the land which assists in fertilizing it. N. M. Durkee's car which was stolen a week ago Saturday, was found by officers Wednesday near Ontario, where it has been abandoned. It was not damaged, but showed signs of having carried a joy-riding party. ORANGE VINEGAR Of seven or eight distinctly orange products now being developed, one is orange vinegar. The method of manufacturing this product was carefully worked out by the United States department of agriculture in its research laboratory, Los Angeles. The government formula is the one that the San Dimas by-products plant is using. The plant turns out the vinegar in about five days from the time the juice is extracted from the oranges. "In point of cleanliness, orange vinegar is particularly outstanding." C. H. Ripple, secretary of the company, explained. "It would be quite difficult to make vinegar from other low grade fruits that would compare favorably in cleanliness with orange vinegar, and, further, on account of the fact that oranges contain about one per cent of citric acid, which goes through the vinegar process unchanged, approximately 20 per cent of the total acidity in orange vinegar is citric acid, which is the acid found in oranges and lemons. "This gives orange vinegar its own peculiar flavor which makes it highly desirable as a salad vinegar. The product is meeting with very great favor for that purpose." "It would seem that all orange BIDS SUBMITTED FOR CHARTRES ST. PAVING TRUSTEES DEFER ACTION ON MATTER UNTIL NEXT REGULAR MEETING There is a probability that the paving of Chartres street from Olive to Palm will not be ordered for some time to come, notwithstanding that preliminary steps were taken some weeks ago. Bids for the work, and for the paving of certain alleys in Center tract, were opened by the trustees on Thursday night, but action upon them was deferred until the next regular meeting. Three bids were submitted, but one of them was filed a few minutes after the hour specified in the low channel of covered inadequate loading safely to its pouring into it region, and as a result of the north, loss of the city was a measure of need their homes higher ground.

Probably MAN HELD UP NEAR THE COUNTY HOSPITAL Put Up Scrap But Was Overpowered by Numbers Assuming the role of the good samaritan when he saw a man lying on the highway about 3 o'clock fast Thursday morning, Wayne Huffman, North Lincoln street, Santa Ana, stopped his automobile, got out of the car and found himself looking into the muzzle of a revolver. "Hands up!" said the man who had been lying on the road a moment before. Instead of throwing up his hands Mr. Huffman made a grab for the gun. As he engaged in a scuffle with the highwayman a companion of the latter came out of the darkness and jumped on Huffman. In the scuffle the highwayman's gun was knocked out of his hand. It fell to the pavement and was discharged. The bullet went wild. The two bandits proved too much for Huffman and he was pretty badly battered. A blow on his nose caused blood to flow profusely. Huffman was finally forced to stop his resistance. One of the bandits then relieved him of $45 while the other held him. Huffman was then told to get into his automobile and drive on. He says the highwaymen sauntered off toward Anaheim. There is a probability that the paving of Chartres street from Olive to Palm will not be ordered for some time to come, notwithstanding that preliminary steps were taken some weeks ago. Bids for the work, and for the paving of certain alleys in Center tract, were opened by the trustees on Thursday night, but action upon them was deferred until the next regular meeting. Three bids were submitted, but one of them was filed a few minutes after the hour specified in the call, consequently according to law it could not be opened. George Curtis, of Los Angeles, agreed to pave both Chartres street and the alleys for 26 cents per square foot, while B. R. Ford, of Santa Ana, submitted a bid of 28 3-4 cents for the Chartres street work and 25 cents for the alleys. The trustees appear reluctant to order the work done at such a figure, which is far in excess of anything heretofore paid for paving, but the bidders submitted statements and cost figures showing the cost to them is much heavier than in former years. Much of the opposition on the part of Chartres street property owners came from the fact that the cost was excessively high at the present time, and they asked that the work be held in abeyance until the cost of material and labor again reached a normal basis. Action will be tken at the next regular meeting of the board. G. W. Hamler presented a plat of the new Owens sub-division of twenty acres on North Lemon and North Palm street. It is the intention of the owners to put the east half, fronting Lemon street, on the market at once, and the Palm street section later. It is understood that Clementine street will be extended through the tract. As the plot called for only a six-foot parking, whereas the trustees are asking thirteen feet, no action was taken. The plat will be altered and probably submitted at next meeting. Owing to the increasing demand for city water the board considered specifications for a new well at the power house, the same to cost, together with the pump and motor, $12,000. New water connections are being installed now at the rate of one a day, and the new sub-divisions now being opened will constantly demand more water, consequently it is believed the two wells now furnishing water for the city will prove inadequate during the dry season. The city electrician was instructed to put in a street light on Zeyn street The bullet went wild. The two bandits proved too much for Huffman and he was pretty badly battered. A blow on his nose caused blood to flow profusely. Huffman was finally forced to stop his resistance. One of the bandits then relieved him of $45 while the other held him. Huffman was then told to get into his automobile and drive on. He says the highwaymen sauntered off toward Anaheim. The holdup occurred near the West Chapman street bridge, but a short distance from the county hospital. According to information given Under Sheriff E. E. French by the holdup victim one of the highwaymen was about 45 years old, rather tall and wearing a beard. The other man was about 30 and smooth shaven. Under Sheriff French and Deputy Sheriff Zabel made a diligent search for some trace of the highwaymen, but they had left the scene of the holdup. The case of Eddie Brooks and E. G. Woods, colored, charged with assault with a deadly weapon on Darwin Grimes of Santa Ana, a driver for the Crown stage line, was continued by Superior Judge Z. B. West to Friday at 9:30 a.m. The delay in accepting a plea by the two defendants to the charge was occasioned by the failure of their attorneys to appear in court at their arraignment. Brooks and Woods are accused of having assaulted Grimes at Fullerton when he refused to allow them to ride in the front seat of his stage, ordering them to take a rear seat instead. One is alleged to have struck him with a club fracturing his left arm, while the other is said to have used a knife and to have slashed Grimes' face severely. Grimes appeared in court with his arm in a sling and still bearing the knife scars on his face. A CLOSE SHAVE How the wife of a Delhi Mexican saved the life of her husband, who was sentenced to be shot at Tia Juana as a former rebel, became known when it was learned that the Mexican, Juan Ociguerra an employee at the plant of the Santa Ana Sugar company is expected to return to Santa Ana, none the worse for his perilous experience. Ociguerra last week left Santa Ana and crossed the international line. Mexican authorities at Tia Juana arrested him, charging him with being a rebel. He was found guilty and sentenced to be shot last Tuesday. The man sent a letter to his wife, who went to Claude Killen, superintendent of the sugar factory, and procured from him a letter setting forth that Ociguerra could not have been a rebel, inasmuch as he had been employed at the plant for the past five or six years. Bearing this letter, Mrs. Ociguerra hastened to Tia Juana, where, upon presentation of the proof of her husband's innocence, he was released.
