Messrs. Crawford and Knox are again at work on Los Bolsas rancho. They will probably complete their survey this afternoon. The house of Deputy Shoriff Byrd was broken into on Tuesday night while the family was at the circus. A few clothes were stolen.

The suit of Wilson vs. Marquis which was set for trial on Wednesday before Judge Clark has been postponed by stipulation until the 28th of August. The exodus to the San Juan Hot Springs still continues. Among the visitors to that place we learn of a large party from Los Angeles. Among whom are Mr. J. L. Stanley and family.

Mosseman found that he came to his death on Center street, Anaheim, Los Angeles county on the 27th day of July, 1874 by two gun shot wounds, fired by Constable David Davis, while in the act of resisting and threatening wild officer, while discharging his official duty. Telegraphic News—A few weeks ago a young boy named Charlie B. Ross was stolen by kidnappers in Philadelphia and a ransom of $20,000 demanded for his return. His parents who are not wealthy have so far been unable to raise this sum. A great deal of excitement has been created over this daring crime—James Gordon Bennett and the proprietors of the London Daily Telegraph have decided to organize and equip an expedition which is to be placed under command of Mr. Henry M. Stanley to penetrate Central Africa and complete the task undertaken by the lamented Dr. Livingstone. The time for the starting of the expedition has not yet been fixed—James Ramsey, an employee of Montgomery Queen's circus, was stoned to death in San Francisco on Tuesday night by a gang of hoodlums. 25 YEARS AGO THIS WEEK August 3, 1899 Mrs. J. B. Neff left last week for a short visit with relatives in San Francisco. The exodus to the San Juan Hot Springs still continues. Among the visitors to that place we learn of a large party from Los Angeles. Among whom are Mr. J. L. Stanley and family. The San Joaquin artesian well is down over two hundred feet. This will be only one of quite a number which the owners of the rancho contemplate sinking at different localities on their property. S. Mund of San Luis Rey, is making arrangements to ship grain and wool directly from Son Juan Capistrano to San Francisco. He will also open a general store at the first mentioned place. The board of equalization which adjourned on Monday reduced the assessment on graded sheep from $2.50 to $2.25 and on common sheep from $2.00 to $1.75. No other business of importance was transacted. Owing to the great increase in travel the stage company has been compelled to put on six horses on the coach between Anaheim and the railroad depot at Downey City. The stage arrives in Anaheim every night crowded most uncomfortably. John Hanna has a curious fowl that he described to us the other day. Its legs are so placed that the chicken has the appearance of standing on its tail. We are now prepared to chronicle the advent of some creature that has the faculty of "walking on its ear." The following deeds were filed during the week: A. B. Chapman to M. Frankel, half of lot 2, Block F, Rancho Santiago de Santa Ana, 2 acres $320; Pascual Silva to B. Dreyfus.

Franz came down from Redlands one day last week, having no On Monday afternoon Constable Davis on being informed that among a party of Mexicans conversing on Center street was one Jose Moreno, a half breed Indian who was recognized by Mrs. Eldredge as the principal in the robbery and assault of which she was the victim two or three months ago. The constable accosted the man and told him to come with him to the office of Judge Clark, the man at first assented, but suddenly drew a revolver and attempted to seize Davis, the constable drew his repeater and both men fires seemingly together. As the smoke of the shots cleared away the two figures could be seen swaying to and fro in deadly struggle. Then Moreno turned and ran, when Costable Davis second shot brought him down. He was carried to a room in Mrs. Metz' building on Los Angeles street where he was attended by Drs. Taylor and Hardin who pronounced his wounds mortal. He was later taken to Fontanas' boarding house where he died on Wednesday. Jose Moreno, whose life of crime was thus ended was the illegitimate son of Don J. Moreno, a prominent official of the provincial government of Upper California and now living in Mexico. His mother was a squaw of the San Luis Rey tribe of Indians. He was lately released from San Quentin and returned to this section to resume his life of crime. On Wednesday a coroner's jury composed of Theo Rimpau, Phillip Davis, M. Callisher, R. N. White, Fred Ahlborn has received from Elkhart, Indiana, a new slide trombone which is an exceptionally fine instrument. It is one of the Innes artists models and cost $65, so when Fred begins to toot up you will hear some fine music. W. A. Franz came down from Redlands one day last week, having noticed in the paper an account of the actodent to Mrs. Husmann, Mrs. Franz' mother, who fell and injured her hip. Franz returned to Redlands next day but Mrs. Franz remains with her little child. Frank Ey, Jr., celebrated his twenty-first birthday at the home of his parents in Santa Ana last Saturday evening.

Helmsen has received from the board of fire underwriters of the Pacific a new rate card for the insurance upon the city power house, according to his request for a reduction in the rates. The rate on the power house is reduced from $2.75 to $2 on the $100 and on the electric light plant from $4.10 to $3. The reductions are very substantial press and Mr. Helmsen will have the thanks of the citizens for his disinterested efforts to procure a lower rate of insurance for public property. Prof. J. E. Grogan writing from Minnesota to renew his subscription to this journal says that although it is four years since he left Anaheim the Gazette is still anxiously looked for each week. George Boyd is shipping out a carload of dried fruit per day, the bulk of it going to eastern points. Charley Norman's family was increased by the addition of a son and heir who arrived on Monday morning. Bobhy Rimpau had Prof. Dyer shave off his mustache yesterday. The Deciduous Fruit Association of Anaheim has sold half of its crop of dried apricots at a price which nets the grower $34 per ton for green fruit. The Farmers' Club met at the real slash are more difficult to control, but are not greatly more destructive to the young growth than fires on cut over areas where slash has been pilled and burned. Unburned slash, indeed, ceases to be a serious hazard in 10 years at the most." AUTO CLUB MEMBERSHIP Fixing more securely its place as leader among motoring organizations of the world, the Automobile Club of Southern California has just announced that it has passed the 100,000 mark in membership. A significant fact of this enormous growth is emphasized by the statement that the club yesterday has a membership equal to the entire population of Los Angeles in 1900, the year the club was organized, or 102,479. No ceremonies marked the rounding out of the six figure membership, although it brought a thrill of satisfaction to the officers, directors and employees who have so successfully guided the dealings of the huge organization and made its eniblement a unilateral sign of service to the motorist. Oddly enough, the 100,000 milestone in the history of the organization came on the 30th anniversary of the first successful demonstration of the so-called "horseless carriage." Six years afterward, when the automobile was yet considered in the class of toys and luxuries, the Automobile Club of Southern California was incorporated with 68 members. After nearly 24 years of its existence it has averaged an increase of more than 4,000 members a year, and today there are 29 branches located at population centers through the 13 southern counties of the state, in addition to the million dollar headquarters at Figueron and Adams streets in Los Angeles. More than 1,000 employees are required to take care of the business or pleted gap in the state highway between Redlands and Beaumont. This probably will be the next undertaking of consequence in Southern California. There never was a goose that laid golden eggs, and besides she is dead.

The Decidious Fruit Association of Anaheim has sold half of its crop of dried apricots at a price which nets the grower $34 per ton for green fruit. The Farmers' Club met at the residence of W. W. Scott on Monday afternoon. A great many interesting horticultural topics were discussed, among them being walnut and tomato diseases and black scale and their remedies. G. A. Hunter was appointed chairman. SIGNAL GREAT SUCCESS Is the automatic signal constructed by the Automobile Club of Southern California at the corner of Figueroa and Adams streets a success? The traffic officer at this intersection has some data from which anyone may draw conclusions. When in interview he said that in the past six weeks he had given out only five tags or less than one arrest a week. The first week the signal was in operation he was compelled to stop an average of 75 cars a day. After a few weeks of operation this number is reduced to 12 a day. The traffic commission check showed that 69,787 cars traverse this intersection daily, indicating that only a fraction of one percent of the drivers failed to interpret the sign properly. Regardless of repeated warnings, many drivers fall 10 give proper hand signals and many avertable crashes are resulting, according to records of the safety department of the Automobile Club of Southern California. Careless hand signalling, also, is leaving its trail of wrecks. The hand signal should be given continuously 50 feet before a turn or stop is made. The arm should be raised high up for a right hand turn; straight out for a left turn; and pointed toward the ground for a stop. Careless drivers are warned that failure to signal properly has made many persons pay for resulting damage. SLASH DISPOSAL In a recent discussion of forest fire damage and prevention, S. B. Show, silviculturist with the U. S. Forest Club of Southern California was incorporated with 56 members. After nearly 24 years of its existence it has averaged an increase of more than 4,000 members a year, and today there are 29 branches located at population centers through the 13 southern counties of the state, in addition to the million dollar headquarters at Figueroa and Adams streets in Los Angeles. More than 1,000 employees are required to take care of the business or the organization, and 14 of the principal departments give direct services to members and visiting motorists. The club is constantly on the alert to meet all demands relative to touring, signposting, mapping, engineering, legal, theft, insurance, hotels and garages, car forwarding, licenses, outing, public safety and highway patrol. While primarily organized to bene-fit members, the club has been equally active in community building. All Southern California has been served by the organization's broad, impressive policy in the promotion of good roads; in urging fair and desirable legislation; in advocating equitable tax measures; in co-operating with national, state, county and community plans for highway development, and in attracting and serving hundreds of thousands of motor tourists that come from all parts of the country. AUTO NOW NECESSITY Automobiles have come to be regarded as important in the minds of the people as new homes and buildings and loan stock, according to tabulations just received by the Automobile Club of Southern California. These are compiled on a national basis and are from the residence building files by the F. W. Dodge company and the motor vehicle production by the National Automobile Chamber of Commerce. The comparisons show that the curves of increase in both types of investment are virtually parallel for the past three year It is found further that the increase in building and loan association assets climbed from less than two billion dollars in 1919 to more than three billion in 1923, and the figures for motor vehicle sales in the same period were very similar. Bringing these figures to the state of California alone, where the increase of automobiles in 1923 over 1922 was 28.8 per cent, means that new home clubs in the State of California was increased by 24.4 per cent. META SOPHIE DOROTHEA ZEYN, WILHELMINA JOHANA HOLCOME, and MARIE L.

Action brought in the Superior Court of the County of Orange, State of California, and the complaint filed in the office of the Clerk of said County of Orange. WEISEL & CLARK, Attorneys for Plaintiffs THE PEOPLE OF THE STATE OF CALIFORNIA SEND GREETINGS TO: THE ODD FELLOWS HALL BUILDING ASSOCIATION, also all other persons unknown, claiming any right title, estate, lien or interest in the real property described in the complaint adverse to plaintiffs' ownership or any cloud upon plaintiffs' title thereto, Defendants. YOU ARE HEREBC DIRECTED TO APPEAR AND answer the Complaint in an action entitled as above, brought against you in the Superior Court of the County of Orange, State of California, within ten days after the service on you of this Summons, if served within this County, or within thirty days, if served elsewhere. And you are hereby notified that unless you appear and answer as above required the said plaintiffs will take judgement for any money or damages demanded in the complaint, as arising upon contract, or it will apply to the Court for any other relief demanded in the complaint. That the object of said action is to determine the adverse claims to and clouds upon the title to the real property described in the plaintiffs' complaint herein, which said real property is situated in the City of Anaheim, County of Orange, State of California, and is described as follows: Lot Fifteen (15), in Block "D", of the Subdivision Vineyard Lot "D3", as shown on a map recorded in Book 34, Page 592, of Deeds, Records of Los Angeles County, California, except the Westerly 8 feet of said real property heretofore conveyed to the City of Anaheim for street purposes. Said property is also particularly described as follows: Beginning at the Southwesterly corner of Lot 15, which said point of beginning is 26.25 feet Easterly and 27.75 feet Northerly from a cement monument marking the point of intersection of the monumented centerline of East Chartres Street, and running thence Northerly along SLASH DISPOSAL In a recent discussion of forest fire damage and prevention, S. B. Show, silviculturist with the U. S. Forest Service in California, stated that fire is the most important cause of denuded forest acres, where logging operations had taken the old timber and no new growth has come up to reclaim the land. Of such fires, most start from the logging operations themselves. With adequate care during lumbering operations and a reasonable system of patrol of cut-over land for a few years following logging, the greater portion of California's timberland would, in the opinion of Mr. Show, reproduce in due course of time and carry a second growth of pine in all respects equal to the virgin yield, if not actually greater in volume of timber produced. Whether the slash and debris left after logging in western yellow pine should be burned deliberately, to reduce the first hazard," said Mr. Show "is a question wholly of time and method. If gathered into piles in an efficient manner, and burned the spring or fall after logging, when fire danger is least, the result will be beneficial. But scattering the slash without burning, or even letting it lie without scattering is preferable to careless burning, either in piles or broadcast." "In our California pine region fires In both types of investment are virtually parallel for the past three year. It is found further that the increase in building and loan association assets climbed from less than two billion dollars in 1919 to more than three billion in 1923, and the figures for motor vehicle sales in the same period were very similar. Bringing these figures to the state of California alone, where the increase of automobiles in 1923 over 1922 was 28.8 per cent, it means that new homes were increased in this ratio, as also were building and loan investments. Hard headed statisticians are pointing out these facts as proving conclusively that the automobile is no longer a luxury but is regarded in the same class as new homes and building and loan securities. COAST BOULEVARD The California Highway Commission has advertised for bids for the grading of a section of the Coast Boulevard between Corona Del Mar and Laguna Beach, Orange County, a distance of 5.2 miles. Bids will be opened in Sacramento, August 18th. The section to be graded is one of the last ungraded units of the Oxnard-San Juan Capitrano state highway on which work is now underway. In view of the depleted finances of the highay commission, the Laguna Beach grading contract will be one of the last advertised by the commission for some weeks with the exception of several small cooperative projects where counties already have advanced to the state a part of the necessary funds.

It came from everywhere. That money was swindled out of people in every state, every county, every town and city. It didn't come from any particular region: It was taken from the folks who needed HOMES, from farmers who needed BARNS; from unfortunates here, there and everywhere who were actually in need of many, many things in the line of shelter. At $5000 each that money would have built 100,000 beautiful home would have provided shelter of an attractive character for half a million people. Make up your mind that the best investment you can make for yourself and your family is in a HOME. If you already have a Home you can help others get one by placing your surplus funds with the Building and Loan Association, at six per cent and you get your interest check regularly each quarter, without having to think of the details. They do the rest and HOMES, Beautiful Homes for worthy people are the result.
