Wolfenstein of Los Angeles. In a private letter, our friend Geo. W. Barter informs us that he has severed his connection with the San Francisco Real Estate Reporter. The January number of the Overland Monthly contains an exceedingly interesting and well written article from the pen of Mr. Barter, entitled "The War Department and the Union Army." Quite a number of old amusements were revived in Aanhelm on Christmas day. Amongst others, cock-fighting attracted a large and critical crowd in front of Chone's butcher shop. The team of Jas.

He informs us the wind blew so boisterously at Mirafores on the preceding day that where the Southern Pacific track crosses the Fiscus place, the railroad section gang kept four men shovelling sand off the track the entire day. Trains had to slow up in passing. The wind was the worst he ever experienced in the country. Henry Strodthoff is home from Jerome, A. T., to spend the holidays with his family here.

The Christmas tree festivities—The festival at Enterprise hall on Christmas night was attended by one of the largest audiences ever assembled in Anaheim. The children were out in full force and by their loudly expressed enjoyment gave additional zest to the pleasure of the old folks. Owing to the indisposition of Mr. Hawkins, W. F. Porr, of Westminster enacted the role of Santa Claus. His well timed remarks in distributing the presents pleasantly diversified the performance. As Christmas festivities have been however, such an oft told tale and as every one was there to see for himself, we omit a detailed description of a very pleasant evening and content ourselves in saying that every portion of the exercises passed off to the full satisfaction of all the participants. After the distribution of the presents, the hall was cleared for dancing and the evening was closed in the usual Anaheim way.

The genuineness of the metal is attested by a navy official high in authority. Joseph is quite proud of the token which represents the Masonic compass, with the mystic letter "G." in the center in burnished brass, making a handsome as well as historical ornament. Fred Chamberlain was seen on the Rialto on Sunday afternoon, having come up from Westminster to listen to the band concert and call on his best girl.

Supervisors Potter and Nickey went up to Yorba on Tuesday to inspect the bridge across the river at that point, which is in need of repairs. Mr. and Mrs. James Woole who have been spending the Christmas ardent admirers. Nevertheless, it is to the credit of Drinkwater and of the people who have undertaken to put the play on the stage, that they have made the effort. Their work is not an entire failure, however far it may fall short of meeting the ideals of an audience. If Shakespeare or whoever wrote Shakespeare's plays, were living today, perhaps he might produce a drama that would adequately represent the character of Lincoln and of Lee, and also set forth with accuracy the causes for which they labored. Drinkwater might lack much of being a Shakespeare and still be a great credit to his time. One of our leading movie actors, Charles Ray, has recently undertaken a somewhat similar task and with no small degree of success in his production of "The Courtship of Myles Standish." As Ray explained in one of his personal introductions to a presentation of his great film, there has been a neglect of American history as a theme for stage productions. He has truly said that our playwrights have gone to European nations and have found in their histories great incidents and noted characters for employment as subjects for their productions. American history is no less replete with events which are even more dramatic and which might better be utilized as a basis of works that have high value becauseof combined entertainment and educational possibilities. Emerson Hough found such a topic for his "The Covered Wagon." The story of the Plymouth Colony; the experience of the Jamestown Colony with Pocahontas as a central figure; the protest against taxation without representation, with the Boston Tea Party as a leading incident; the events leading up to and covering the NOTICE OF ELECTION • In re Buena Park Sanitary District. At the hour of ten o'clock A.M. On Tuesday, the 27th day of November 1923, the Petition of Charles W. Girvin and thirty-six (36) other persons in the County of Orange, desiring the formation of a sanitary district within said county, was presented to the Board of Supervisors of such County at the Board of Supervisor's rooms in the Court House, City of Santa Ana, Orange County, California, at which time the Board of Supervisors proceeded to hear said petition and documentary evidence was presented, and the following persons were sworn and testified on behalf of the Petitioners and in support of the Petition, so filed: Charles W. Girvin, J. Golden, J.F. Simpson, D.W. Hasson, and L.J. Robeson. (1) The petition so filed is in writing, signed by twenty-five (25) and more persons in the County of Orange desiring the formation of a sanitary district in said County; each of the petitioners reside and is a free holder within the proposed district; the petition states the name of the proposed district; that of Buena Park Sanitary District, and sets forth the boundaries thereof, and prays that the lands included within such boundaries shall be organized as a sanitary district under the provisions of an Act of the Legislature of the State of California, entitled: "An act to provide for the formation, government, operation, re-organization, dissolution and alteration of boundaries of sanitary districts in any part of the State, for the construction of sewers, septic tanks and other sanitary purposes; the acquisition of property thereby; the calling and conducting of elections in such districts; the assessment, levy, collection, custody and disbursement of taxes therein; the issuance and disposal of the bonds thereof and the determination of their validity and making provision for the payment of such bonds and the disposal of their proceeds; to empower sanitary boards to make and enforce sanitary regulations and providing penalties for violations thereof." (2) The petition is verified by the come up from Westminster to listen to the band concert and call on his best girl. Fred is one of the big Democratic medicine men of the Peat. Supervisors Potter and Nickey went up to Yorba on Tuesday to inspect the bridge across the river at that point, which is in need of repairs. Mr. and Mrs. James Woole who have been spending the Christmas holidays with Judge and Mrs. Shanley departed for their home in Los Angeles yesterday. Senator Jones, his daughter, Miss Phebe Jones; his son-in-law, Senator A. E. Nutt of San Diego, accompanied by his wife, depart tomorrow for Sacramento to be present at the assembling of the Legislature on Tuesday next. Max Jacobson, the well known Santa Ana business man was in town on Sunday to listen to the band concert. Ella M. Forssek, the fourteen year old daughter of R. Fossek of this city, has contributed a prize Christmas story to the Los Angeles Record entitled "Won a Step Mother's Love." She was awarded third prize in the competition and will receive the sum of $4.50. Miss Ella has written quite an interesting story and carries the thread of her narrative in an entertaining manner to the end. DRAMATIZATION OF HISTORY It is not surprising that the South is not satisfied with the representation of its cause and its great leader by the picture presented in the play written by Drinkwater and entitled "Robert E. Lee." Just as the play that was intended to portray the character and achievements of Abraham Lincoln fell far short of accomplishing its purpose to the full, so it was to be expected that the Lee production would fall short, particularly as judged by Lee's most more dramatic and which might better be utilized as a basis of works that have high value because combined entertainment and educational possibilities. Emerson Hough found such a topic for his "The Covered Wagon." The story of the Plymouth Colony; the experience of the Jamestown Colony with Pocahontas as a central figure; the protest against taxation without representation, with the Boston Tea Party as a leading incident; the events leading up to and covering the signing of the Declaration of Independence, with Patrick Henry, John Hancock and others as prominent figures; various incidents of the Revolution, such as the capture of Ticonderoga, the death of Nathan Hale, the sufferings of Valley Forge, the crossing of the Delaware, the exploits of John Paul Jones, Paul Revere's Ride, etc., all furnish abundant opportunities for thrilling motion pictures. Coming down to later times, Lewis and Clark expedition, the defense of the Alamo, and the "Winning of the West" are topics that would seem to have dramatic possibilities. But the main point to be kept in mind is that Drinkwater and Ray have undertaken to make use of events in American history for dramatic productions, and the effort is well worth while. Not only hundreds of thousands of our immigrants but large numbers of our own native born whose education has been neglected, would gain a far better and more lasting impression of the splendor of our history and the significance of our institutions if they beheld even fairly well predicted picture of these and other events in the establishment of liberty on this continent and the development of our Nation. High praise is due the man who tries. If American men only knew enough to head the advice of the magazine ads, not one of them now would be earning less than $10,000 a year. Some husbands who believe that "the laborer is worthy of his hire" do not know this maxim applies to a wife. (2) The petition is verified by the affidavit of one of the petitioners, and has been published for at least two weeks next preceding the 27th day of November, 1923, the date of the hearing thereof, together with a notice which stated the time and place when the petition would be presented to the Board of Supervisors, and that all persons interested therein might at said time and place appear before the Board of Supervisors and be heard, which petition and notice was published in the "Anaheim Gazette" a newspaper of general circulation, published in the County of Orange, such publication having been made in and on the 8th, 15th, and 22nd days of November, 1923. (3) That the land included within the boundaries of the proposed district and set forth in the petition, is continuous territory, located and situated in the County of Orange, California, and all of said lands as situate within the exterior boundaries of the district as described in said petition would, in the judgment of the said Board of Supervisors, be benefited by the formation of a sanitary district, as requested by said Petitioners and in the judgment of said Board of Supervisors, no lands have been improperly omitted from the said proposed district.
