VOLUME LIV CALIFORNIA WILL SUPPORT THE PRESIDENT HIRAM JOHNSON'S RRESTIGE IN THE STATE HAS GONE A-GLIMMERING Supporters of Coolidge Expect Him to Carry the State by 200,000 on May 6. Which Means the Probable Nomination of C. C. Chapman for Vice President—Johnson's Overwhelming Defeats in the East Have Discouraged His California Followers. Whether Hiram Johnson believed that his campaign in California would be strengthened by his remaining away from the state, or whotner he confidently expected the 29 delegates to the Cleveland convention would be handed to him without any effort on his part is not clear, but up to the present date he has been leaving his affairs solely in the hands of his lieutenants trusting that the old failed to support candidates having the confidence of the great Republican States of the East and Middle West. The day has arrived when Republicans of California should cooperate and give their support to the popular candidate of those great sections. Sympathy for the personal ambition of one of its citizens, impossible of achievement, must not be permitted to deprive California of its influence and position nationally. Republicans of California, on May 6th you can do your part, best perform the duties of citizenship, giving California the place its potential, political and material power entitle it, by voting at the Presidential Primary for the delegates preferring Calvin Coolidge for President. NEW TERRITORY ADDED TO RURAL ROUTE SERVICE Anaheim's Five Routes Extended More Than Eleven Miles Postmaster Whitaker's prayer for an extension of the rural service of the Anaheim postoffice, has been heard in Washington, and his petition granted. Eleven and a half miles have been added to the routes of the five carriers, and at least 500 persons, hitherto outside the delivery zone will be served daily by the carriers. Mr. Whitaker received word some days.

There single case south of county line, and o prevent its spreadident it cannot Whether Hiram Johnson believed that his campaign in California would be strengthened by his remaining away from the state, or whotner he confidently expected the 29 delegates to the Cleveland convention would be handed to him without any effort on his part is not clear, but up to the present date he has been leaving his affairs solely in the hands of his lieutenants, trusting that the old machine is still in good running order. Johnson is supposed to represent California in the United States Senate, and is drawing a very respectable salary from the treasury for his services, but even his blindest followers acknowledge that he has not earned his pay. Long ago he deserted his seat in the Senate chamber and has devoted his time to stumping the eastern and middle western states, singing his hymn of hate, and endeavoring to convince the people that the Republican party is rotten and the administration at Washington is corrupt. According to his song, repeated on a hundred platforms in a dozen states, the only salvation for the country is the election of Hiram as president, but state after state, after listening to his harauegue, has turned him down so overwhelmingly that a man with less nerve would have been effectually squelched. South Dakota gave him its thirteen votes, because the bolshevik candidates for governor and United States Senator, who had accepted him as a fit running mate, pulled him through by the skin of his teeth. That Hiram Johnson will meet his Waterloo in California on May 6 is now apparent to all capable of reading the signs. Aside from the fact that he has forfeited his right to Republican support because he consistently aligns himself with the enemies of the party, California Republicans are in harmony with the Republicans of other states in the belief that the administration deserves the united support of the party, and the defeat of Coolidge would mean a repudiation of the party's wonderful record during the past four years. Coolidge is wearing the mantle of the late lamented Harding, and during the few months he has filled the high post since the death of Harding he has proven himself a worthy man for the position. He has shown himself to be able, level-headed and conservative even his political enemies being unable to pick a fault in his adminis- TO RURAL ROUTE SERVICE Anaheim's Five Routes Extended More Than Eleven Miles Postmaster Whitaker's prayer for an extension of the rural service of the Anaheim postoffice, has been heard in Washington, and his petition granted. Eleven and a half miles have been added to the routes of the five carriers, and at least 500 persons, hitherto outside the delivery zone will be served daily by the carriers. Mr. Whitaker received word some days ago that the extensions as outlined by him had been ordered by the Post-office department. Route No. 1, C. W. Hedges carrier, has been increased one mile, adding territory bounded on the west by the Garden Grove road, and on the north by Ball road. Route No. 2, George M. Tedrick carrier, extended two miles to the Cypress neighborhood. This territory has rapidly settled up of late, and hundreds of persons will be served. No. 2 is also extended two miles to Brookhurst, when many new families will be added to the list of patrons. Route No. 3, George M. Bogue carrier, has two and one-half miles added to it in the Atwood (Richfield) neighborhood, giving the people in the oil region much better service. Route No. 4, W. J. Llewellyn carrier, has only half a mile added to it, serving a small territory north of Garden Grove and east of the Garden Grove road. Route 5, C. P. J. Johnson carrier, runs south into the Katella district, and has three and a half miles of road added to it. The new territory forms a triangle bounded by Placentia avenue, the State highway from the Log Cabin to Katella sub-station, and the road from Katella to Placentia avenue. Most of the people served by these extensions are recent comers, who have made homes here since the routes were established. They have been clamoring for the delivery service, and by these extensions they are now in daily communication with the world.

NEWPORT HARBOR HEARING The river and harbor act of September 22, 1922, calls for a preliminary examination and if necessary a survey of Newport Bay, Calif. The purpose is to determine whether or not it is advisable for the United States to improve this bay, and if so, the character and cost of the necessary work. A preliminary examination report has been submitted, and a survey report has been authorized. Persons interested in this subject are invited to be present at a public hearing to be held in the council chamber in the City Hall, southeast corner Third and Main streets, Santa Ana, Calif., at 10:30 A.M., Monday, May 5, 1924. At this hearing all will be given an opportunity to present their views. While oral statements will be received, it is desired that all ideas shall be reduced to writing and submitted, in triplicate, as thereby they will be on record and will be given full consideration, which may not be possible in the case of oral statements. Written communications will be forwarded to the War Department with the report on the survey to be submitted by the undersigned. Points on which further information is desired, are: 1. Present status of developments proposed or under way at the time of the previous public hearing on November 22, 1922. 2. Developments undertaken or proposed since the above date. 3. Evidence as to necessity for easterly jetty asked for at previous hearing. 4. What local interests are prepared to do in cooperation with the United States in further improvements.

Interest in these Harbor meetings is so keen that over three hundred were expected to be on hand for the "Launching," as the meeting was to be called. Mr. Greeley, chairman of the committee, in announcing the change stated that plans for the meeting with the County Harbor Committee of fifty would be carried on and that the smaller gathering would be held at an early date. It is expected that the postponed meeting of the members and friends can be held about the middle of the month of May. A date will be definitely decided upon as soon as conditions justify and ample notice of the gathering will be announced through the courtesy of the county press.

Unless something unforeseen should arise the foot and mouth disease is now practically under control. While there are new cases occasionally reported these are all within quarantined territory. There has not been a single case south of the Los Angeles county line, and officials fighting to prevent its spread are now confident it cannot pass the effective quarantine barrier maintained along the county line. The disease has unquestionably gone over the peak and is now dwindling away, but as yet there is no cessation in the vigilant battle opened against it when it first made its appearance. If it can be held within the present effected territory a month will probably see it entirely eliminated. Anaheim people are particularly interested in seeing this milestone stamped out. It means, should the quarantine be lifted in time, that the directors will proceed with preparations for the California Valencia Orange show, and the big exhibition will be given before the Valencia season ends. When the directors called off the show a week ago they merely postponed it to an indefinite date. None of the contracts were cancelled, all the paraphernalia now on hand stored, and the expectation is that the work of preparation can be resumed in a few weeks. Instead of a spring event it may be staged as a mid-summed entertainment, with the Glorious Fourth of July one of the dates. The valencia season is at its height in July, and as the weather is always reliable during that month, many believe it would be preferable to a May date. The directors of the orange show have received many letters and telegrams commending them for posoning the show after so much labor and heavy expenditure in preparations. Offers of support when the show opens come from all quarters, and it will have the united backing of Southern California. THE FOOT AND MOUTH DISEASE IT MUST NOT SPREAD Nearly all of our manufactured and agricultural products are being stopped from leaving the state because of the prevalence of this disease. This means business will slow up—maybe stop—and that means wages will stop! COOLIDGE STICKERS Friends of the president who desire Coolidge stickers for their windshields, may obtain them by application at this office. A number which arrived last week were turned over to the Coolidge club, and were distributed at the meeting last Wednesday evening. Another package has arrived, and will be given to supporters of the President at this office. Cal stands for California, and Cal stands for Coolidge. Let the process proceed.

Mr.Merritt called the new board to order and stated that the first duty confronting the members was the election of a president, who would act in the capacity of Mayor.Metcalf was duly elected to the office receiving the unanimous vote of the members.

These were only temporary committees appointed to serve until the regular meeting tonight,但 in all probability they will stand as the percent committeeemen. Tonight the new board will get down to business and begin to legislate.Whether or not there will be any changes in the heads of various departments of city government is not yet known. While the city government is now in control of an entirely new board,它 is not reasonable to presume that there will be a drastic change in the administration of affairs.The retiring council accomplished many things for the city's advancement and progress during the past few years,m among them being a city hall,a municipal park and an outfall sewer.Un doubtedlythe new board will showthe same progressive spirit and carry onthe workof advancementwith equal zeal forthe welfareofthecity.Thenewmemberswereall electedbyheavymajorities,showingtheypossesstheconfidenceoftheSENIORCITYBusinessWherevertheartdaidfromthetheyhavepart.BothartdepartmentheartthatGatesFconsenteddredandforthepStorearedisplaywhisposes.KewsetasideservedseesmerchantswindowcauthishelpingWiththeaswellastheplayshouldthehistoryonlywillthistbutwillbebasedfortheThestageforhavethefiswanwhocraftclass.thruthAltho shestanycredit.is almostaTicketspurchasedtothestudent.ABrothers。 THE FOOT AND MOUTH DISEASE IT MUST NOT SPREAD Nearly all of our manufactured and agricultural products are being stopped from leaving the state because of the prevalence of this disease.

WIDENING HIGHWAY In cooperation with Los Angeles county, the California Highway Commission today awarded a contract for a unit of the highest type of improvement which has yet been undertaken on the state highway system—the widening of the Whittier Boulevard of fifty-six feet. The work to be done consists of paving between Pasadena avenue and Montebello, in Los Angeles county, for a distance of 2.8 miles. The contract for the state's half of the work was awarded to George Oswald of Los Angeles for $183,863.50. The engineer's estimate was $199,056. The improvement will consist of laying a concrete base seven inches thick to be surfaced with two inches of asphalt concrete. Curbs and gutters also form a part of the work to be done. The contract will be financed from motor vehicle fees and the gasoline tax fund. The best compliment that can be paid to an original is for one to say that another is "as good as" the original. Thorough protection results from the rigid quarantine measures which are in effect," stated Dr. John R.

The method of combating the disease involves the slaughter and deep burial not only of all infected animals but also hords in which infected animals are found. "During the last outbreak of foot-and-mouth disease, which occurred in the United States in 1914, lasted about two years and was also much more widespread than the present one, there was no authentic instance in which any person contracted the disease. Humans are only slightly susceptible to foot-and-mouth disease and even in foreign countries where it exists most of the time the symptoms are mild, and seldom require the attention of a physician." The quarantine against diseased livestock extends to 16 counties, only 8 of which contain any infection, and there are guards on the boundaries of the entire quarantined zone. Even if these precautionary measures were not present, department officials state, the danger to human health would be remote, since the common practice of pasteurization of milk is an ample safeguard of itself. Federal meat inspection is a further safeguard so far as the meat supply is concerned, since all animals slaughtered under the supervision of the BOND ELECTION IN HIGH SCHOOL DISTRICT PEOPLE TO VOTE ON THE PROPOSITION FRIDAY OF THIS WEEK. Trustees Asking $200,000 for the Purchase of More Land and the Construction of More Buildings—Increasing Enrollment Makes Enlargement Imperative—"Open Letter" Tells How the Money is to be Expended—Friends of the School Urged to Get Out and Vote. Tomorrow (Friday) an election will be held in the several school districts comprising the Anaheim High School district for the purpose of voting on the question of a $200,000 bond issue for further improvements and enlargement of this seat of learning. That the money is needed to meet SENIOR CLASS THANKS THE ANAHEIM MERCHANTS Business Men Co-operate in Efforts to Put Over Play. Wherever the Senior play cast or the art department has asked for aid from the merchants of Anaheim, they have more than gladly done their part. Both the senior class and the art departments wish to extend their hearty thanks to these people. Gates Furniture Store has gladly consented to let us use a three hundred and fifty dollar set of furniture for the play. Jackson's Clothing Store are letting us use one of their display windows for advertising purposes. Kemp Brothers have a place set aside in their store for the reserved seat tickets. Many of the merchants have consented to place window cards in conspicuous places thus helping to advertise the play. With the cooperation of the public as well as the merchants, the senior play should be the biggest success in the history of the high school. Not only will the play be a mystery-drama but will be very artistic as well. A new set is being built and will be used for the first time Thursday night. The stage craft class is working had to have everything in perfect order for the first night. Irene McLean Swan, who is at the head of the stagecraft class, has been putting the crew thru for the last two or three weeks. Altho the stage crew very seldom gets any credit, the staging of the play is almost as important as the acting. Tickets are on sale and can be purchased from most any high school student. All seats reserved at Kemp Brothers. Tomorrow (Friday) an election will be held in the several school districts comprising the Anaheim High School district for the purpose of voting on the question of a $200,000 bond issue for further improvements and enlargement of this seat of learning. That the money is needed to meet the growing demands of a rapidly increasing enrollment cannot be denied else the trustees would not ask it. In an open letter to the public the trustees sum up the necessity for the money, and tell how it will be expended, as follows: The first great need of the High School is for more class room space. Already has the attendance so increased since the buildings (new two years ago) were completed that at the present time all available class room space is occupied. With the graduation of ninety-four Seniors in June and the entering class probably numbering 200, more space will be absolutely necessary. To meet the immediate demand for classroom space it is proposed to build a second story above the present Mathematics and Cafeteria building. This is a solid brick building with brick cross walls and was planned, when originally built, to bear a second story. This addition would give seven fine classrooms which could be in readiness before school would open next September. The probable cost of this work together with furniture and equipment would be $30,000. The present Science building erected and equipped with the original group in 1912 has given good service, but in the twelve years of time the plan and apparatus have seen much service and need to be renewed. It is proposed to build a two-story building, more commodious and up-to-date, converting the present building into much needed classrooms for academic subjects. This new Science building, however, could not be ready for use before the 1925 semester at the very earliest. Such a building could not be built for less than $60,000, but would be adequate for the growth of many years. With the increased demand for botany and agriculture it will soon be necessary to provide an Agriculture building which, although not a large UNDESIRABLE IMMIGRANTS The Hungarian government has started to draw up its notorious "emigration preference" list for the coming year. If Congress again sets the Hungarian quota at 5700, this country will issue passports to 5700 of the choicest lot of Bolsheviks, political agitators, rabid Socialists, economic misfits, petty criminals and under-sirable Galician Jewish refugees that it can comb together in all Hungary and will naively try to dump them into the United States. The Hungarian government and all the governments of Central and Eastern Europe have been selecting this kind of emigrants for America for twenty or thirty years. "Our sewer empties into America," Hungarian police officials have often boasted. The Hungarian quota was exactly 5700 last season and the Budapest government issued exactly that many immigration passports. When the season opened on July 1 these 5700 hand-picked emigrants marched down to the American Consulate and demanded American visas. Until a year or two ago every one of these preferred Hungarians could get a visa and Godspeed, but owing to America's awakening only a part got through. Grunion parties are now in season, and thousands of the little fish have been scooped in while holding their ghost dances on the sands. There are six nights in June when grunion are expected to run. They are June 4, 5, 6, 18, 19 and 20.
