The Tivoli, under the able management of Mr. Lefond, is becoming a very popular place of resort. J. S. Roberts is remodeling the store formerly occupied by H. D. Polhemus on Center street and will move his harness manufactory to that place. Mr. Stone is building a residence near the depot on a lot which he recently purchased from Tim Boege.

Gillette as a delegate from California to the national convention to be held at Cincinnati. Sam Hamilton, formerly of Anaheim, is now district attorney of Mojave county, Arizona. Several young ladies were out riding on horseback yesterday. We know how many feet of redwood lumber it will require for a coffin for one of them, as it was an easy matter to measure the imprint made in the sand on Center street when her saddle turned. At the Easter meeting of the Episcopal church congregation, on Tuesday, the officers were re-elected for another year, and W. R. Olden was elected lay delegate to the diocesan convention. The treasurer reported that $568.95 had been collected and disbursed in payment of the missionary's salary, rent, and to the board of missions during the past year, independent of sums given and raised for the building fund. There was quite an argument in the Planters hotel last night respecting the national debt at the close of the war. For the benefit of our friends in the debate, we give the following items: In 1864 and 1865 the expenses of our government amounted to over three and one-half million dollars per day. The expenditures of the government during the last year of the war were more than the whole expenditure from the inauguration of Washington to the inauguration of Buchanan. The national debt at the end of the war was $2,749,000,000. 25 YEARS AGO THIS WEEK THURSDAY, APRIL 25, 1901 Marshal Steadman has a force of laborers at work cleaning streets. Ben Kraemer and W. M.

The water board met on Saturday afternoon and transacted routine business. The agreement with Colonel Tuffree relative to right-of-way for the main ditch through his ranch was ratified. The order reversing the runs was vacated until the termination of the next run. An assessment of $2 per share was levied. The residence of Johnny Kuebler, situated on East Broadway, was totally destroyed by fire at midnight Saturday. The origin of the fire is a mystery. No one was present in the house at the time of the fire. Mr. Kuebler was up town at the time and Mrs. Kuebler was in Whittier, visiting friends. Mr. Kuebler was on his way home when the alarm was turned in. He got on his bicycle and set out for the scene of the fire, not knowing that his own house was burning. The building and its contents were entirely destroyed. There was an insurance of $1100 on the house. A grand illustrated entertainment will be given in the Methodist church on Saturday evening, under the auspices of the Ladies’ Aid Society. It will consist of life-sized pictures illustrating the great Galveston disaster, the late Spanish-American war and the famous Passion Play. Combined with these will be a series of interesting and amusing moving pictures. Tim Carroll was down town the other day and, feeling good over the prospects for an excellent sugar beet crop, fell to telling stories with some of the boys. Here is one of them: Three men, an Englishman, a Scotchman and an Irishman, were traveling along the wayside, when they came to a deserted house which contained nothing but a fine loaf of bread and, as each was very hungry, instead of dividing the loaf, they decided to award it to the one who would have the biggest dream. They went to bed, and on the morrow the Englishman said that he dreamed he saw a turnip of 500 tons weight. The Scotchman dreamed he saw a stewpan big enough to boil the turnip in. “O,” says Pat, “your dreams are not in it.” I dreamed last night that I was that hungry I got up and ate the loaf.” Tim promises to come down town again some time and tell us some more stories. He has thinned his beets, hoed them twice, has a fine stand and expects to harvest an abundant crop. The three companies of Orange county, viz.: Company “L,” Santa Ana; Company “E,” Anaheim, and Company “H,” Talbert, will picnic at the Orange county park, Santiago canyon, May 1. A large percentage of the three companies is expected to turn out, and a good time is anticipated. Most of the boys are going to the park the evening before and will camp over night. There will be battalion drill, physical drill and exhibition company drill.

Mrs. Northam was getting ready to go out to Hollywood, in the Cahunga valley, where Colonel Northam is building an elegant new home, when she suffered an apoplectic stroke. Dr. Lasher was immediately summoned and did everything known to medical science to save the life of his patient.

Bowers A RECORD MADE A Verdict Given Here is a record to make you pause: 70,590 Dodge Brothers Motor Cars and Graham Brothers Trucks sold in the United States from January 2nd to April 3rd, 1926! The greatest quarter in the company's history—37 per cent greater than the same period last year, when 51,318 units were sold. This record was a foregone conclusion. Since the first of the year demand increased week by week. Each period showed greater sales than the one preceding and greater than the same period of 1925. During the last week recorded, ending April 3rd, 9104 units were sold, against 6330 for the best week, last year—a gain of 39 per cent. Sales figures are an index to the buyer's preference. Buyer's preference, these days, springs from clean-cut convictions on quality and comparative worth, penny for penny. Although the peak of the selling season has not yet been reached, the verdict has already been rendered.
