We wish him success. J. D. Linderman, who committed suicide in San Francisco some days ago, was well known to our Anaheim people. He came here some seven years ago and worked for Mr. Boldt. He bought a tract of land near the railroad depot which he afterwards sold to Fred Langenberger and Tim Boege. He then purchased a bee ranch in Brea canyon which has since been disposed of. He was considered of unsound mind. His wife is now residing in Anaheim. A. L. George purchased 80 acres of land adjoining J. B. Pierce's farm yesterday.

Tim Boege is improving the hotel at the depot by digging a large cellar and erecting an addition to the house, to be used for sleeping apartments. At the auction sale of horses yesterday, Mr. Menzel purchased King William, and John Bush bought the hero of the little hatchet. Rev. J. M. Allis will leave Anaheim this afternoon for Brooklyn, to attend the session of the Presbyterian general assembly. P. Pellegrin is setting out orange trees on six acres of his land southwest of Dr. Hardin's orchard. It is possible that Mr. Pellegrin will build a house on the tract. A large crowd of ladies assembled last evening to witness the opening of the new dress goods at Goodman & Rimpau's. We were particularly struck with some calico of the American flag pattern, and intend ordering a suit soon. The usual Saturday bustle on Center street was enhanced yesterday by the moving of the building which adjoined the meat market of B. Cohen. The building will be fitted up on one of Boege's lots near the depot. J. E. Bacon will commence shearing his flocks on the Neguil ranch on Monday next. Don Juan Forster of Santa Margarita ranch has telegraphed to Messrs. Davis & Brother for men to assist in moving a band of cattle.

Olden, William Crowther, A. Langenberger, G. G. Greeley, P. C. McKinnie and N. H. Mitchell. Mr. Bohen, the night watchman, was circulating a petition to the board of supervisors yesterday to secure his appointment as special constable. A large number of signatures were secured. We have heard many expressions of regret at the announcement of the contemplated departure of Miss Lafaucherie. This lady, we learn, will leave for the East next week. M. Keller of Los Angeles has so far shipped 90,000 gallons of wine to Philadelphia. The carriage of the Rev. T. Mutt was stuck in the mud near the Coyote house yesterday and was with much difficulty extricated. The sheep of Messrs. Ludoviche and Kimball have been stopped near the Kraemer place by the deputy county assessor until the taxes are paid to this county. The Santa Ana Valley News did not appear yesterday. We learn that the cause of the delay was that their roller did not arrive from Los Angeles.

And we are going to be proud of the new high school building as soon as it is erected. All trains running into Los Angeles yesterday were crowded with sightseers off to see the demonstration in honor of President McKinley. Many Orange county citizens have taken rooms at Los Angeles hotels in order to have points of vantage from which to view the President. The President arrived at Redlands yesterday morning, at 9:30. He was welcomed to the Golden State by Governor Gage. The party arrived in Los Angeles at 2:30 o'clock, where the President was tendered a great ovation by a hundred thousand people who had gathered into the town from all of Southern California to do him honor. Today will be the floral parade, and those of Orange county who could not get away yesterday will make a brave attempt to do so this morning. Among those who will join the crowd in Los Angeles this morning to see the President will be Judge Shanley, H. A. Dickel, who will represent the city of Anaheim at the reception to the President; Supervisor Potter, T. E.

Fritz Martin has taken charge of the meat market recently presided over by Veit Bentz. Fritz is an experienced butcher and will doubtless make a success of the business. H. P. Larsen showed us on Tuesday a mass of lava which he picked up at Mauna Loa, volcano in Hawaii, while visiting in the island last year. The volcano is three miles wide by eleven long. Mr. Larsen gathered the lava while it was yet warm, and had to improvise his felt hat as a covering to it before he could reach water and cool it. He has presented the specimen to Roman Wisser, at whose place it has developed into quite a curiosity. Lava is molten rock devoid of metal. There is no mineral in the Hawaiian islands, Mr. Larsen states, the volcanic action having melted it and sent it to the bottom. Mauna Loa is probably the largest volcano in the world. Miss Elizabeth Kuchel went to Los Angeles on Tuesday evening to be present at the reception to Mrs. McKinley. The Anaheim hotel is receiving a thorough renovation.

Bowers THIRD IN THE WORLD and Sales Still Mounting During the first three months of 1926 Dodge Brothers, Inc., built and sold more motor vehicles than any other manufacturer in the world, except Ford and Chevrolet. 70,589 were delivered by Dodge Brothers Dealers in the United States alone between January second and April third. This represents a gain of 37 per cent over the same period last year and 69 per cent over the first quarter of 1924! Third largest in the world! And sales CONTINUING to mount week after week to new record-breaking levels. In fact, during the week ending April 17th (last figures available) retail sales reached the remarkable total of 9,435—the greatest single week in Dodge Brothers history! These figures are all the more significant when you realize that the gain of the industry as a whole over last year is only 12 per cent. There could be no more convincing evidence that today's product is regarded as better than ever before and that the present prices make it the most impressive value Dodge Brothers have ever offered.
