We were pleased to see our friend Squires of Upper Santa Ana in town cure the appliances for a gymnasium. The exercises consisted of singing, declamations and short character dialogues and were conducted in a manner which not only gratified the sensibilities of the audience but reflected most creditably upon the efficiency of the teachers. We learn from Mr. Guinn that after paying all expenses there will remain to be devoted to the purposes of the entertainment about fifty-four dollars. Sylvester Eve had been fixed upon by the Anaheim Lodge of Odd Fellowes as the occasion for a grand ball the proceeds of which were to be devoted to charitable purposes. And accordingly on that evening a goodly number of both young and older folks of Anaheim assembled at Enterprise Hall in the good old style danced the old year out and the new year in. The Anaheim string band furnished the music and compared favorably with the best city bands. 25 YEARS AGO TODAY January 4, 1900 Charles Luedke, a brother of Mrs. Tim Boere, and well known hereabout, was granted a license in Los Angeles on Saturday to wed Harriet F.

We were pleased to see our friend Squires of Upper Santa Ana, in town again and still more pleased to learn that the scarlet fever had not damaged either himself or eleven others of his family who had been made the subject of its attack. Mr. Chapin, who recently purchased forty acres of land in the "Lone Pine" settlement has commenced the boring of an artisan well upon his place. At last accounts although only seventy-five feet down the water had risen to within two feet of the surface and the prospect was that he would obtain a large flow in less than one hundred feet. Dr. J. M. Roberts, Dentist, has opened an office in the Anaheim Hotel building where he can be seen on Friday and Saturday of each week. A Card.—The managers of the Episcopal Fair feel most grateful for the kind liberality extended to them. They also thank Messrs. Helmann & George for the lot so kindly donated. An adjoining lot has been secured for which the managers hope to make monthly payments. In order to do so the subscribers are solicited to continue their subscriptions. All are invited to attend the next meeting at the Planters Hotel on Wednesday evening, January 6th at 7:30 o'clock.

Frank made a trip to Los Angeles some weeks ago on the occasion of the visit of Major General Shafter and called upon the General whom he found to be a gentleman of affability and pleasing address. Frank's eldest son occupies a position as clerk at the General's headquarters in San Francisco and the General recalled him immediately on becoming acquainted with his caller. A pleasant conversation resulted and now Frank thinks there's nobody like General Shafter. Peter Knapp, uncle of Dr. Johnston, arrived on Tuesday from Barre, Canada, with his family of wife and seven children and has rented the Groat house on Broadway. Mr. Knapp was here last year and in March returned to his home in Barre. The winter was one of extremely cold weather, and he resolved to emigrate to California to reside permanently. He has lost considerable weight since leaving in March, but expects to regain it all and more in the glorious climate of California.

Last week's shower has been followed by very pleasant weather for invalids. But it is rough on the farmers. The O. O. O. club, of Orange gave their first entertainment on Monday evening to an audience of nearly three hundred people. The program consisted of singing, reading of extracts from the Orange Observer, a monthly paper issued by the club, tablesau recitations and charades. Mr. Furlong, the President of the club, stated that the club was formed for the purpose of improving the literary taste and promoting social intercourse among the inhabitants of Orange and the surrounding settlements.

RAILROADS TRY ECONOMY The practice of economy which has characterized the Harding-Coolidge through reduction of costs of operation. Railroad managers have devoted their attention to that problem with a zeal that reflects great credit. Even if he stockholders do not yet receive on an average as large a return as was held by the Commissioner to be reasonable, they have some satisfaction in seeing a nearer approach to it, with a prospect for its possible attainment at some indefinite future time. RICH IN SCENIC SPOTS California is the most fortunate state in the United States with relation to national parks, national monuments and national forests, according to the touring bureau of the Automobile Club of Southern California. Of the nineteen national parks in the United States, Hawaii and Alaska, California has four. It has two national monuments, one of which is the largest in the United States with 91,000 acres. It has seventeen national forests having a total of 19,000,000 acres. In addition to this magnificent area of facetic grandeur of its own, Southern California is adjacent to the Grand Canyon in Arizona and Zion National Park in Utah. WHAT IS COMING Development of transcontinental automobile touring has been so fast in recent years as to be almost unbelievable, according to records of the touring bureau o f the Automobile Club of Southern California. As concrete evidence of the rapid increase it is pointed out that in the year 1914, just ten years ago, a total of 267 automobiles crossed the Colorado river at Needles entering California from the east during the entire year. This year, 10 years afterwards, there demanded in the Complaint as arising upon contract, or he will apply to the Court for any relief demanded in the complaint. The property affected by this action is that certain real property situated in the Rancho Santiago de Santa Ana, County of Orange, State of California, described as follows: Beginning at a point marked by a mail and tin in the pavement in the Center line of the County Road known as Santiago Boulevard, which said point bears North 89 degrees 15' East 722.04 feet from the West line of said Lot "L" which is the center line of the County Road known as Tustin Avenue; running thence North no degrees 25' West 595.98 feet to a point marked by an iron pipe; thence North 89 degrees 15' East 72.60 feet to a point which is 6 feet East of an iron pipe, which said point is in the center line of the Santa Ana Valley Irrigation Company ditch; thence along center line of said ditch following courses and distances: South no degrees 25' East 6.54 feet; South 44 degrees 55' East 332.28 feet South 6 degrees 40' East 297.40 feet to a point marked by an iron pipe and South 56 degrees 40' East 98.60 feet to a point in the center line of the said Santiago Boulevard; Thence along the center line of said Santiago Boulevard, South 89 degrees 15' West 419.76 feet to the point of beginning, containing 3,777 acres, more or less, according to the survey thereof by W. K. Hillyard in 1924. Subject to an easement for road purposes over the portion included in Santiago Boulevard on the South and Subject to the right of way along the Easterly line for the ditch and pipe line of the Santa Ana Valley Irrigation Company. That the object of the action is to quiet plaintiff's title and the title of Martha A. Squires, deceased, to the above described real property and to determine adverse claims to, and any clouds upon, the title to said real property, and to determine all adverse RAILROADS TRY ECONOMY The practice of economy which has characterized the Harding-Coolidge administration has been adopted by many classes of people, among them the managers of the railroads. Since the cost of operating the railroad must eventually be paid by the people when they pay the freight and passenger charges, economy in railroad management is practically important to the public as economy in government business. Inspection of some of the railroad records, as transmitted to the Interstate Commerce Commission, shows a reduction in operating costs was not accomplished by reduction in wages, but by better management enabling the roads to do their work with a smaller number of men. Recent high records in the handling of freight—getting more freight into a car and more tons of freight into a train, and getting the trains over more miles of track per day—indicate the character of improvement in management which has made the reduction in costs possible. Chiefly by this insistence upon economy, the railroads have been able to increase their net earnings, although they are still, on an average, short of the net earnings which the Interstate Commerce Commission fixed as a reasonable return upon the value of the property used in transportation. The Commission fixed 5.75 per cent as a reasonable return. During the first ten months of the year the average net return was about 4.95 per cent, but during the last two months of the ten-month period the rate ran up to 5.64 per cent. There seems no likelihood that for the entire year the average return will reach the figure established by the Commission. Some comparisons indicate the extent of saving attained by the railroads through the adoption of better management. In the Fall of 1920 the operating expenses were running about seventeen million dollars a day while in 1924 they were less than twelve million dollars per day, a reduction of more than four millions a day. This has been accomplished without a seal. Development of transcontinental automobile touring has been so fast in recent years as to be almost unbelievable, according to records of the touring bureau o f the Automobile Club of Southern California. As concrete evidence of the rapid increase it is pointed out that in the year 1914, just ten years ago, a total of 267 automobiles crossed the Colorado river at Needles entering California from the east during the entire year. This year, 10 years afterwards, there have been many single days when more than this number of cars entered the state by the same route. Now the touring bureau of the auto club is wondering what the next ten years will bring in the way of increased motor travel into the state. NOTICE TO CREDITORS STATE OF WILLARD B. CLARK, Deceased.
