ANAHEIM GAZETTE ISSUED EVERY THURSDAY Henry Kuehel, Editor and Proprietor SUBSCRIPTION PER YEAR.....$1.50 MIX MONTHS.....$1.00 THREE MONTHS.....$ .50 Entered at the Anaheim Postoffice as second-class matter WATER IN THE RIVER More water has flown under the Olive bridge during the week, according to Leo Sheridan, than has come down from the mountains in five years, and more water has been spread in the gravel beds up the river than in a similar length of time. While that people have been talking about the possibility of a flood, this stream of water is one of the greatest blessings that has come to us since 1621. A year ago a small stream whimpered down as far as the bridge but ran no further, and three years ago some water ran in the upper reaches of the water course. This stream will do much to replenish the underground supply and should have a beneficial effect in raising the plain of saturation. We do not wish to shut off these flood waters, but we want as many of them to come down the river as we can handle. Wet winters will come again, much water will flow down the river. The underground supply will be replenished and we shall be living in a paradise on earth. At least this is what Leo Sheridan tells us. COUNTY DIVISION ASLEEP One single great broadside of the law one mighty sweep of the arm of truth, and the amacronism of a city and county government was put quietly to sleep. The people of this district will not transgress the law, neither will they contravene the constitution. As the law and the constitution forbid this proposed new city and county what more need be said concerning it? County division, as a matter fact, is well nigh prohibitive in California.

"DRESS WELL AND SUCC COUNTY DIVISION ASLEEP One single great broadside of the law one mighty sweep of the arm of truth and the amacronism of a city and county government was put quietly to sleep. The people of this district will not transgress the law, neither will they contravene the constitution. As the law and the constitution forbid this proposed new city and county what more need be said concerning it. County division, as a matter fact, is well nigh prohibitive in California. The lawmakers evidently do not favor county division fight, and certainly there are none in this district who want any of this kind of scrap. If there are political fits in the northern part of the county, if there are enterminals which our people feel are not treated just exactly right in the southern portion of the county, division is not the solution. Let us all get together and talk these things over. THIS IS FEBRERO LOCO The Spanish have a saying, "Febrero loco Marzo un poco" meaning literally February crazy. March a little crazy. This is applicable to the wet weather we have recently had, following what is commonly known as a dry year. We have seen the sun shining and rain falling at the same time, to be followed by drenching showers when the sun disappears behind the clouds. Then the sun appears again and later on we have more rain. At midday one par and the moon chats loudly. There are a few clouds over beach and yet the brisk southeast winds bring heavy downpours during the night. A gentle man steps in to say goodbye that February will continue crazy until the end of the month, and that Marzo may be a little crazy también. Let it rain. Buena Park Notes (By MRS. J. P.

Most of the story of The Auction Block takes place in a small South Carolina town. It contains all of the petty jealousies, the under-currents of ill-feeling, as well as the good-heartedness and generosity of the small town. This Henley has transferred to the silver screen.

WARNING ISSUED AGAINST FORGER The California highway commission warns the business public to be on the lookout for a man or group of men who are passing fictitious checks in all parts of California. Whoever is responsible for this criminal act has secured blank checks from various banks over the state. The last that came to light is drawn on the First National bank of San Francisco. In the lower left-hand corner of the check has been printed "State Highway Construction District No. 5." and in the lower center over the signature the name, "G. E. Semmes." These checks are usually drawn in amounts ranging from $15 to $40, purporting to be wage checks. The checks are fictitious, there being no such highway division as "State Highway Construction District No. 5." All payments due from the highway commission are issued on its own checks and not on the checks issued by any bank. Warrants of arrest have been issued on complaints of victims at Richfield, Willows and Redwood City. Any person to whom such a check is presented should cause the arrest of the holder and notify the bureau of criminal identification at Sacramento, or the chief of police of the above-named communities.
