CORNER STONE YIELDS UP OLD RELICS THE RECORDS OF TWENTY-TWO YEARS AGO UNEARTHED AT FREMONT SCHOOL Stone Laid By Masons on July 4, 1901 —Records Show Total Enrollment of All the Schools Was 732—F. G. Athearn Was Principal of the City Schools at the Time—Darling, Clabaugh and Sheldon Composed the Board of Trustees—Relics on Exhibition at Golden State National Bank. Breaking into the cornerstone of a public building that has stood for many years is always an interesting proceeding, as its contents generally reveal many facts about the community in former days. In cutting off the face of the Fremont school building during construction of the annex, the cornerstone, laid on July 4, 1901, was opened and its contents brought to light. The stone was laid by the Ma- Our neighbors in the country should not fail to visit Anaheim on that day. Mr. Reiser has shown us a letter from Mr. Denker, stating that the Masons of Los Angeles are coming in a body and have secured an excursion train. Come on, Macduff. The more there is of ye, the better we shall be pleased." In the same issue of the Gazette it was found that the city tax rate was 60 cents on $100 and that it was intended to raise a total of $1700. The paper also tells of the discovery of coal near Anaheim, and states that "ore from the Silver Slope silver mine is expected to assay $20,000 to the ton." Mr. Melrose does not guarantee this information as it is carried in a correspondence letter signed by John Smith. Samples of the ore and the coal were found in the box. The school building cost $9500; a sample $500 bond was included among the relics. It calls for interest at the rate of 10 per cent. Several coins that were in common use at the time the building was erected were included, some of which are no longer in circulation. Among these are a large, old-fashioned penny, and two 2-cent pieces, and a 20-cent piece. A 5-cent "shin-plaster" is the clown of the collection. If the authorities had included an up-to-date American flag it would have shown thirty-six white stars on the background of blue. It is the purpose of the present board to put both collections of relics.

In cutting off the face of the Fremont school building during construction of the annex, the cornerstone, laid on July 4, 1901, was opened and its contents brought to light. The stone was laid by the Masonic lodge, and the box deposited in it connealed a list of the officers of the lodge, also of the Eastern Star and the Odd Fellows. A picture of T. A. Darling, president of the school board, was found in the box, also a photo of Mr. and Mrs. J. H. Clabaugh, Mr. Clabaugh being a member. The other member of the board was A. H. Sheldon. F. G. Athearn was principal of the schools, and the total enrollment for the year was 732. This box revealed that the city trustees at that time were Joseph Helmsen, H. A. Dickel, Charles J. Fay, J. J. Schneider and P. J. Weisel. The city clerk was E. B. Merritt and Frank Steadman, city marshal. A copy of the Gazette of that week was also in the box. But of even more interest are the contents of the cornerstone of the old Central building, which was wrecked three years ago. The workmen of the wrecking company cut into the box, evidently in search of a bottle, and whether or not they found it has not been made known. It was learned, however, from the town directory, a copy of which was found, that there were nine saloons in Anaheim at the time the cornerstone was laid in 1878. The directory recalls the fact that at that time Anaheim was in Los Angeles county. Orange county having been established eleven years later. Theodore Reiser was mayor at that time. A Langenberger, L. W. Kirby, J. H. Yocum and Tim Boege being the other members of the board of city trustees. F. W. Athearn, Theodore Rimpau and H. Kroeger were the members of the school board, according to the records, and J. M. Guinn was principal of the schools. W. M. Higgins was postmaster. D. Evey was master of the Anaheim Masonic lodge, and J. J. Hill, noble grand of the Odd Fellows lodge. The Anaheim Literary society met every Thursday evening. A. G.

It is the purpose of the present board to put both collections of relics, together with some interesting present-day facts, under the cornerstone of the building now being built. These relics will be on exhibition in the window of the Golden State bank for a week. BIRCH OIL COMPANY AGAIN BRINGS SUIT Seeks to Recover Taxes Paid to the County Under Protest Year after year A. Otis Birch and the Birch Oil company pay their taxes under protest and file suit in the superior court in an endeavor to reduce Assessor James Sleeper's valuation, but the courts invariably sustain the assessor. This week suit to recover taxes paid under protest was filed by Mr. Birch. The total amount paid by the company was $30,005.34, but Birch claims that $8875 was all he should have paid. The Birch Oil company, a co-partnership of A. Otis Birch, Estelle C. Birch, B. F. Conaway, Anna N. Conaway, Louise Smith Hopkins and Ruth Smith Hopkins, is the owner of 20 acres of oil land in the heaviest producing section of the Brea-Placentia field and has ten producing wells. These wells, according to the complaint, produced a total of 373,688 barrels of crude oil in the year ending March, 1922. County Assessor James Sleeper valued the property at $845,935, most of which was for real property. The company claims that $250,000 would have been the proper valuation. The suit filed asks the return of $21,130.34, claimed to have been paid in excess of the proper taxes. Other cases were shown in which Birch seeks to show that he was discriminated against by the assessor. The assessment was taken to the supervisors sitting as a board of equalization and its claims denied. The taxes were then paid to Collector J.C.Lamb under protest, and the action were in common use at the time the building was erected were included, some of which are no longer in circulation.

Every was master of the Anaheim Masonic lodge, and J. J. Hill, noble grand of the Odd Fellows lodge. The Anaheim Literary society met every Thursday evening. A. G. Beebe was in a book store, Goodman & Rimpau owned an exclusive dry goods store, J. Backs was in the furniture business and F. Backs was an undertaker. The Planters' hotel was the only hostelry in the town, and Mrs. Pierson conducted a hair dressing establishment and a laundry. Clin San, Sin Si Waw and San Lee operated the three competing laundries. Since Anaheim even then prided itself on being a clean town, but they did not compete with the lady in the hair dressing business. There were two livery stables listed in the directory, but no garage. Two coopers were listed and three windmill dealers. There were six doctors and no dentist. Ten insurance men were listed and five real estate men. C. Schindler advertised bricklaying and plastering. T. S. Grimshaw was a wagon and carriage maker; and J. Bennerscheit had charge of the gas works. There were three churches—the Presbyterian, the Episcopal and the Catholic. A copy of the school law of the state for 1876 and a book of deeds from the Los Angeles Vinyard society of Anaheim were also found. This cornerstone, like the later one, was laid by the Grand Masonic lodge, and the Anaheim Gazette of August 17, 1878 (Richard Melros editor), published the following item which is of interest: "The cornerstone of the new school house will be laid next Monday, August 19, with ceremonies commensurate with the importance of the occasion." The suit filed asks the return of $21,130.34, claimed to have been paid in excess of the proper taxes. Other cases were shown in which Birch seeks to show that he was discriminated against by the assessor. The assessment was taken to the supervisors sitting as a board of equalization and its claims denied. The taxes were then paid to Collector J. C. Lamb under protest, and the action on file has been expected since that time. The only inconvenience county officers anticipate is an expenditure of a sum of money in court costs and special counsel fees for fighting the case and fighting the appeal. LINEN SHOWER FOR MISS AILENE ADAMS Miss Allene Adams, whose engagement to Charles Ward has been recently announced, was the honoree at a linen shower given by Mr. and Mrs. Ernest Varnado at their home in Newport on Tuesday evening. Miss Adams and Mr. Ward were entertained at dinner by Mrs. Robert Coleman and later drove to the Varnado home to spend the evening. As they opened the door they were greeted by shouts of "Surprise," "Surprise," by a bevy of girl friends from Anaheim. After presenting the gifts to the bride-to-be, the guests enjoyed a social game of cards at which Miss Marie Schacht won the first prize and Mrs. Edward Ward the consolation. Those present were: Mr. and Mrs. Varnado, Mrs. Robert Coleman, Mrs. Edward Ward, Miss Allene Adams, Miss Marie Schacht, Miss Mable Ziegler, Miss Milidzed Carter, Miss Alice Humphrey, Mrs. Frank Anderson and Charles Ward.

Official dedication of Anaheim's new $150,000 city hall will take place tonight, beginning at 8 o'clock, and Mayor Stark has issued an invitation to all the people of the city to gather there and inspect the structure, and determine whether or not their money was well invested. No elaborate program has been arranged for the occasion, but the municipal band will enlist the evening with inspiring mu- willingness to accept. The office pays $6000 a year. As the office is non-partisan the Republican county central committee will have no voice in the matter of the appointment. The Orange County Bar association, however, will probably make a recommendation, and its candidate will get the position unless the governor is influenced by personal motives. WELL KNOWN COUPLE JOINED IN WEDLOCK Miss Dorothy Schellens and Bernard Dresser Married Saturday A pretty wedding was solemnized at the home of Mr. and Mrs. Rinehold Schellens at Olive, Saturday, when their daughter became the bride of Bernard Dresser, Jr., son of Mr. and Mrs. B. J. Dresser. Rev. A. G. H. Bode, rector of St. Michael's church, performed the ceremony. H. V. Weisel, uncle of the bride, playing "O Promise Me" on the piano while the vows were being exchanged. Just as the clock struck three, Miss Charlyn Tedrick played the strains of the Mendeissohn wedding march and the wedding party entered the spacious living room. The bride and groom met under a beautiful bower of pink and orchid spring blossoms with ferns entwined, where they made their wedding vows. ANOTHER HOTEL PLANNED FOR ANAHEIM REPORTED THAT JOE SIEGEL PREPARING TO BUILD MAMMOTH STRUCTURE Property on Broadway, Between Los Angeles and Lemon, to Be Covered By Five-Story Building, it is Said—Mr. Siegel Organizes the Anaheim Building Corporation With a Capital of Half a Million—Several Costly Building Contemplated, Including 40-Flat Bungalow Court. When Joe Siegel decided to come to this city some months ago his decision was influenced by the belief that Anaheim was the safest town in southern California in which to invest money in real estate. He had considerable money of his own and was in control of a large capital belonging to other people, which was in his hands for investment. He announced his intention of spending $250,000 in improvements in the north end of town, princi- Official dedication of Anaheim's new $150,000 city hall will take place tonight, beginning at 8 o'clock, and Mayor Stark has issued an invitation to all the people of the city to gather there and inspect the structure, and determine whether or not their money was well invested. No elaborate program has been arranged for the occasion, but the municipal band will enlist the evening with inspiring music, and there will be a number of speeches. Also the various city officials will be at their posts prepared to answer all questions propounded to them. Richard Melrose has been prevailed upon to make a speech. Melrose was the first city clerk after the town's incorporation, and the first city attorney. Anyhow, he filled both positions in the early days of the town's existence, and he will talk about the Anaheim of long ago. He has grown up with the city, and will tell an interesting story. City Manager O. E. Steward is also slated for a talk, his subject being Anaheim of the present day. No man in the city is more familiar with the town, and his story will be a fitting companion piece to Mr. Melrose's ancient history tale. On the first day of June, as officially proclaimed by ordinance, all the officials moved their desks, their tables, their paraphernalia and their records from the rented quarters in the Masonic temple into their new quarters, and all are now firmly established. For the first time in many years all departments of the city's government are now housed in under one roof and in a building owned by the city. MANY CANDIDATES FOR SUPERIOR JUDGE Appointment May Be Given to Northern Orange County Ma^ Congestion in the superior court of Orange county will be relieved when the recently created department 3 begins to function. The act creating the court was signed by Gov. Richardson last week, but it will not begin operations until August 29. Who the governor, will appoint as presiding judge is a question that is causing considerable speculation among the attorneys. There is an abundance of good timber, but most of the eligible men would hesitate to accept because the pay of a judge is much smaller than the income of a AN ORANGE COUNTY FEUD Fighting in the woodland "feud," involving pretty Virginia Lee Cookson, rancher, and Charles S. Mann, manager of the Modjeska ranch, was renewed as two employees of Mrs. Cookson were arrested on a complaint signed by Mann, and Mrs. Cookson filed an injunction suit against Mann, asking the court to compel him to refrain from interference with her. A two-inch pipe line, running from a reservoir across 1000 feet of the Modjeska land, to Mrs. Cookson's ranch, was the point of contention in both suits. Robert E. Suthton and S. F. Mittingly, farm hands employed by Mrs. Cookson in laying the disputed pipe line, were arrested when they came to performed the ceremony. H. V. Weisel, uncle of the bride, playing "O Promise Me" on the piano while the vows were being exchanged. Just as the clock struck three, Miss Charlyn Tedrick played the strains of the Mendeissohn wedding march and the wedding party entered the spacious living room. The bride and groom met under a beautiful bower of pink and orchid spring blossoms with ferns entwined, where they made their wedding vows. The bride was resplendent in her dainty gown of white crepe de chine and old lace. She wore a silk net veil caught to her hair with a coronet of lilies of the valley. Her bouquet was a shower of bride's roses and lilies of the valley with the maiden hair fern. She was attended by Miss Dorothy Swope, of Hollywood, maid of honor, and her sister, Miss Elsalle Schellens, bridesmaid. They wore dainty frocks of pink and orchid organdies designed in a French style with large picture hats to match. They carried corsage bouquets of pink and orchid. Little Misses Elizabeth Weisel and Anita Weisel, nieces of the bride, acted as flower girls and carried small baskets of pink and orchid flowers. Little Miss Virginia Houck, also a niece of the bride, was ring bearer. These three little misses were dressed in fluffy organdie frocks of orchid and pink. The groom was attended by his best man, Bert Conley. Ernest Pyles, of Long Beach; George Dresser and Otto Pick, of Los Angeles, were ushers. The young couple left on a two weeks wedding tour. They will make their home in this city on their return. When Joe Siegel decided to come to this city some months ago his decision was influenced by the belief that Anaheim was the safest town in southern California in which to invest money in real estate. He had considerable money of his own and was in control of a large capital belonging to other people, which was in his hands for investment. He announced his intention of spending $250,000 in improvements in the north end of town, principally the Mills Park tract, and numerous permits have already been taken out by him for buildings in that region. Within the past week or two he has organized the Anaheim Building corporation with a capital of half a million dollars. Mr. Siegel is the president and controlling force in the concern, which expects to invest large sums here. The largest project which this corporation has in view at the present time is the erection of a five-story hotel building. Last week it was announced that Mr. Siegel had purchased a large tract of ground on Broadway, between Los Angeles and Lemon, and that plans were being drawn for a mammoth hotel building, to cost several hundred thousand dollars. The building will have a frontage of probably 160 feet on Broadway, and will be five stories in height. The ground floor is to be cut into store rooms with a hotel lobby, and the second, third and fourth stories will be arranged for a hotel. The fifth story is expected to be built for an amusement hall. Among other building which Mr. Siegel is planning is a bungalow court in the Mills Park tract containing 40 bungalows. This was one of his original plans and it is expected since the formation of the Anaheim Building corporation work will begin at once. Still further improvements for the north end on which he is figuring is a string of five brick store rooms on North Los Angeles street. Mr. Siegel has ample capital behind him to carry out all his projects, and he believes that money invested in Anaheim real property is safely planted. PRESIDENT WRITES TO COUNTY BOY SCOUTS Sends Streamer as Award for Increased Membership Declaring that the Boy Scout movement "has earned for itself appraise- The recently created department 3 begins to function. The act creating the court was signed by Gov. Richardson last week, but it will not begin operations until August 29. Who the governor, will appoint as presiding judge is a question that is causing considerable speculation among the attorneys. There is an abundance of good timber, but most of the eligible men would hesitate to accept because the pay of a judge is much smaller than the income of a good practitioner at the bar. As both the present judges are from the southern half of the county there is a general sentiment to the effect that the new honor should go to some man in the north. Among others Leonard Evans, of this city, is prominently mentioned. Everybody in the court house knows that Evans is eminently qualified for the high position, and that some day undoubtedly he will sit on the bench, but is yet a young man with a practice that yields him considerably more money than the judgeship would pay, and he has not yet acquired a competence that would justify his retiring from active practice. Any attorney competent to fill the job, must make a financial sacrifice in giving up his practice. Major E. J. Marks, of Fullerton, is also mentioned as a northern Orange county man eminently qualified for the position, and as his partner, Albert Launer, is an intimate friend of Gov. Richardson, the major stands a good chance of landing the place provided he wants it. Frank C. Drumm, of Orange, is another man prominently mentioned. In Santa Ana District Attorney Alex P. Nelson, W. F. Menton and former District Attorney L. A. West are mentioned, but neither has signified his When, however, she laid this line, at a cost of $500 to her, and connected it with a 3-inch outlet at the dam, which she claimed, Mann told her was her's to use, he ordered her to remove it. This she refused to do, whereupon he caused her arrest by the sheriff, and tore up the pipe line, she claimed. She restored the line, however, but upon information available, she understood that Mann plans to disconnect it and remove it, she said. You can't have a sweet disposition unless you have a sweet stomach. Declaring that the Boy Scout movement "has earned for itself appraisement as one of the greatest assets our nation has today," President Harding has awarded to the Orange county council, Boy Scouts of America, a beautiful red, white and blue streamer, in recognition of the fact that the council had a 100 per cent increase in membership during 1922. The streamer will be attached to the council flag. In a letter accompanying the award, the chief executive expressed his pleasure that the county Boy Scout movement had made a big advance in the past year. The communication was addressed to G. W. Finch, of Fullerton, president of the council, who is scheduled to visit Boy Scout headquarters in New York this week. Finch attended the international Kiwanis convention in the east last week. He is expected to return home in time to witness the opening of Camp Ro-Ki-Li.scouts' summer camp, scheduled for June 20. Stating that he desired especially to convey appreciation to the scoutmasters and the boys of those troops which have earned the troop award, the chief executive wrote: "It is most stimulating to realize that through the Boy Scouts of America more than 130,000 men are now enrolled for definite volunteer service." NEW OIL FIELD SOON TO BE OPENED STANDARD PREPARING TO DRILL IN THE VICINITY OF ANAHEIM Leases on South Placentia Avenue and Ball Road Are to Be Tested According to Reports—Will Be the Pioneer of Many Wells in This Region if Oil is Found—Everybody in Neighborhood Awaiting Developments With Much Interest. John Knutzen, who lives southeast of town, brought in the report Monday that the Standard Oil company would soon begin drilling for oil on sections 12 and 13, the land being located in the vicinity of South Placentia avenue and Ball road. It has been known for some time that this section would be the scene of the next oil exploitation, but now it is reliably reported that operations would begin at once.

MANAGER VANE TO SPEAK "Automobile dealer profits—how much are they, where do they go, and why?" This subject, of absorbing interest to motor dealers (will be discussed by C.A. Vane, general manager of the National Automobile Dealers' association, at a meeting of the Orange County Motor Dealers' association to be held at the Elks' club, Anaheim, Friday evening. Bankers, salaries men and service men will be asked attend the meeting. In his position as manager of the national associates, Vane is known to dealers everywhere as a man with a message based on experience, observation and investigation of business policies of dealers, according to Secretary Davis. "Vane's contact with the dominant factors in the automobile industry for five years has been closer probably than any other man in the business," Davis said. "His studies of the factors that enter into dealer profits and troubles have produced vast stores of information. It is from this information that he is giving to the automobile industry a story of profits, what they are, where they go, and why—a sory that is of vital interest and fascinating to its hearers. It is a story of the automotive trades in every community which is fortunate enough to run true to form along the Orange county shore line. Victor Walker, expert on the subject, pronounced as "bunk" statements published in a Los Angeles paper that the tiny fish have not been running to schedule, and that the moon has nothing to do with their appearance. He declared that, according to his schedule, grunion will run again June 16, 17, 18, 30 and July 1 and 2, but probably in diminished numbers, as the season is closing. "I have noticed publication has been given to erroneous dates many times recently by papers, and this, perhaps, is more or less responsible for assertions that the little fish have not been running to schedule," said the local authority. "The schedule I have is not my own—it was developed by the Indians at Capistrano long before my time. It has not failed to date and I am going to stick by it." "I was through Serra last night, and residents there told me that Saturday night the fish were out in larger numbers than ever before." DELIGHTFUL ENTERTAINMENT AT ELKS' CLUB ROOMS Mrs. Falkenstein and Mrs. Sandilands Hostesses at Card Party An elaborate and delightful function was the luncheon and card party given on Tuesday afternoon by Mrs. Falkenstein and Mrs. Sandilands at the Elks' hall, at which more than forty ladies enjoyed the hospitality of these two charming hostesses. A profusion of spring flowers graced the occasion; roses being used in the parors; sweet peas and ferns decorating the luncheon tables in the dining room. After a delicious five course luncheon the guests adjourned to the parlors, where a lively game of 500 passed the remainder of the afternoon. Miss Alice Robison received the first prize, an embroidered table cover, and Miss Winifred Melrose the second; a crumb tray and brush, while Mrs. Schiller was awarded the consolation, a hat brush. The invited guests were: TEACHERS AND OFFICERS MEET Tuesday evening the Presbyterian Sunday school monthly teachers' and officers' meeting was held at the home of M. E.
