GROWTH OF ANAHEIM Total for 1910 was... 2,268 Total for 1920 was... 5,525 Today estimated at... 12,000 VOLUME LVI HARBOR BOND PROPRIETARY BOND ELECTION FOR HARBOR THURSDAY HEAVY VOTE IS EXPECTED ON PROPOSAL TO ISSUE BONDS Many Former Opponents of the Proposition Now Working in Favor of It; Harbor Chamber of Commerce Put Up a Gallant Fight; Result Doubtful, as Two-thirds Vote Necessary to Carry; 19 Polling Places Here Politicians of Orange County Will Assemble ORANGE county politicians and "citizens" are to assemble in another of the rip-roarious camp conventions which have brought fame to the county in the last few years. Friday, 6:30 p.m., St. Ann's Inn—that's the dope. Announcement of the impending "big doin'" is madd by the postal card route and is authorized by a group of men signing themselves as the "Political Party Committee." Ostensibly, the affair is 'to be in the nature of a feed and demonstration in behalf of Judge E. J. Marks and Judge Homer Ames, whose appointment to the superior court bench here has not as yet been officially approved by the politicians of the county in a formal rump convention. According to the announcement, "all of the candidates are to be invited, and they're to be lined up and HEAVY VOTE IS EXPECTED ON PROPOSAL TO ISSUE BONDS Many Former Opponents of the Proposition Now Working in Favor of It; Harbor Chamber of Commerce Put Up a Gallant Fight; Result Doubtful, as Two-thirds Vote Necessary to Carry; 19 Polling Places Here APPARENTLY there has been considerable change of sentiment in northern Orange county relative to county aid for Newport harbor. The election calling for a bond issue of $1,200,000 for the purpose of continuing the work of harbor construction will be held next Thursday and, while there is still much opposition and the result is doubt, many men of influence who some months ago were lined up in the opposition forces are now working for the success of the bond proposal. The Harbor Chamber of Commerce has made a splendid fight during the long campaign, and caused many who were arraigned in opposition to make a personal investigation, with the result that their opinions have changed. It was the belief of many here that it would be folly to create another harbor so close to San Pedro, but it has been shown that the Los Angeles harbor is already overcrowded and its business is rapidly increasing. An auxiliary harbor at Newport would relieve the congestion at San Pedro and would bring a large amount of business to Orange county, is the argument put up by the advocates of the bond issue. It is also pointed out that government aid can be secured if the bond issue carries, but not otherwise. These arguments have been effective and changed many votes. As every person has formed an opinion, there will be a heavy vote cast—perhaps the heaviest ever polled at a bond election. Anaheim will vote in all of her 19 precincts, at the following places: Precinct 1—Euca-Lemo Soap Company, 911 North Los Angeles street. Precinct 2—Smith Lumber Company, 1133 Lincoln avenue. Precinct 3—Union high school building, 811 West Center. Precinct 4—M. R. Harrison's garage, 702 North Lemon. Precinct 5—I. P. Probst paint shop, 113 West Adele. Precinct 6—L. A. Fisher garage, 225 East Wilhelmina. Precinct 7—C. P. Smith's garage, 709 North Sabina. Precinct 8—Sid McGraw's Ford garage, 320 North Los Angeles. Precinct 9—H. S. Jayne's garage, 125 North Olive street. Precinct 10—Olive Fruit Company, 805 East Center. Precinct 11—Gibbs Lumber Company, 801 East Broadway. Precinct 12—Broadway school, 412 East Broadway. Precinct 13—City hall. Precinct 14—L. W. Baggott's garage. "big doin'” is madd by the postal card route and is authorized by a group of men signing themselves as the "Political Party Committee." Ostensibly, the affair is to be in the nature of a feed and demonstration in behalf of Judge E. J. Marks and Judge Homer Ames, whose appointment to the superior court bench here has not yet been officially approved by the politicians of the county in a formal rump convention. According to the announcement, "all of the candidates are to be invited, and they're to be lined up and filled full of hot shots from those who know 'em. Their hides will be hung on the fence. It's to be one of our regular parties." Based on past performances of Orange county rump conventions, it is assumed that dark political secrets of the past will be revealed, the revelations being particularly with reference to appointees and men who aspire to serve the dear public of Orange county. Paving Highway In River Canyon Increase Width and Resurface; Work Begins This Week Work on the four-mile paving contract in Santa Ana canyon at Peralta began this week, according to an announcement by J. L. McBride, county superintendent of highways. The United States Concrete Pipe and Construction Company was awarded the contract at a figure of $130,000. Plans call for the widening, straightening and thickening of the highway. Operations will commence at the easterly end. The present 16-foot highway will be widened to 20 feet, while five inches of concrete will be laid over the present four-inch paving. On the widened portion the concrete will be eight inches thick. At Jefferson street, about a mile east of Olive, the new paving will meet the recently widened and thickened boulevard extending east from Olive. McBride states that a by-pass will be maintained throughout the construction operations, the old road being held open as long as possible, and a by-pass constructed a day ahead of the paving. This by-pass, he said, will be ample for all automobiles and light trucks, but not for the larger trucks. Hay and lumber trucks with trailers, in particular, are warned to stay out of the by-pass. That situation will exist for about a month. It is expected that the new highway from Peralta to the Yorba road will be open for travel by July 3. "We will make every effort to inconvenience the traveling public as little as possible," said McBride. "But it will be necessary that the larger trucks do not attempt to use the by-pass."

Los Angeles, Cal., June 1, 1926. Editor The Gazette: Please permit me to express the hope that I may continue to enjoy the fine co-operation your publication has previously so generously accorded the Southern California Internal Revenue District. The collection of federal taxes is not always a popular, but is an important function of our beloved government and it is only with the assistance of the press of the district that this office can keep in close touch with the taxpayers and thus be enabled to work harmoniously with them. I hope to have the pleasure of meeting you personally in the near future, but until that time, wish to thank you in advance for any assistance you may be able to render this office in its effort to furnish the taxpayers with courteous and efficient service. Sincerely, GALEN H. WELCH, Collector of Internal Revenue. Yungbluth Leaving On Trip to Europe Anaheim Merchant Plans Visit to His Old Home F. A. Yungbluth leaves shortly on a tour that will keep him away from home for several months. He will stop at Chicago; then go on to New York, having business in both cities connected with his merchant tailoring establishment here. After transacting his business in New York, he will board a ship for Europe, and will spend some months visiting his relatives in Germany. His parents are both living at the old home at Deardorf, near Coblenz, and two brothers and a sister are living in the same vicinity. The family from which he parted, a third of a century ago, are all living, with the exception of his oldest brother, who died some years ago. Mr. Yungbluth separated from his family and came to Anaheim 33 years ago, entering the tailoring establishment of his uncle, Fred Crist. On the death of Mr. Crist, he purchased the establishment and has developed it into one of the biggest and most prosperous businesses in the city. This is his first visit to his old home since he left it, a boy of 15, and he looks forward to an enjoyable visit.

Franklin Badgley has purchased an instrument which will not only detect nerve pressure anywhere in the Spinal column, but will locate congestion, in- flammation and dislodge the body. Dr. Badgley use of iridiagnosis infects in the iris of the as tuberculosis, heart diseases; then by placement on the spine, nerve or nerves is called down of tissue or acclu- ungs; then by placing over the lungs, we can spot or spots in the thus proving that each also traces impingens nerves from the spinal organ.

Miss Florence Schiffman, 1800 North Lincoln street, Pasadena, was arrested Sunday by Ernie Sawyer, state officer, on the Irvine boulevard. The officer charged her with speeding 52 miles an hour in a 35-mile zone. All of the four men arrested were "picked" on the state highway along the coast between Seal Beach and Huntington Beach by state officers. They are Robert J. Williams, 2237 South Hobert street, Los Angeles, 50 miles an hour in a 35-mile zone; Harry Van Dorn, 1336 La Brea avenue, Hollywood, 55 miles an hour in a 35-mile zone; Harry Wibrew, 932 East Thirteenth street, Los Angeles, 60 miles an hour in heavy traffic CHAPMAN BUYS ANAHEIM BEEF PLANT BIG MEAT PACKING INDUSTRY CHANGES HANDS THIS WEEK Millionaire Orange Grower Now Sole Owner; Business Closed Down While Reorganization Is in Progress; Retail Markets to Be Discontinued; J.

The city council last Thursday night sanctioned the transfer of all money acquired in this way from the general fund to the street improvement fund. This is in accordance with the state law which took effect in October, 1925. The amount accumulated since that date is $4165. This was transferred to the street fund, and all fines hereafter collected for traffic violations will be paid into that fund. City Manager Price’s appointments of officials to serve during the coming year were all approved by the board. His slate included W. J. Lake, deputy controller of the public service department, formerly known as the rate collector; E. P. Hapgood, city engineer; R. P. Tompkins, building inspector; V. W. Haifnum, superintendent power plant; W. L. Ashleigh, superintendent of park and plunge, and B. Bowen, superintendent of streets. Resignation of two officials was also received by the board. Herman Schindler, chief of the fire department, turned in his resignation, stating that his business affairs would not permit him to give sufficient attention to the job. Although he asked to be released on June 1, the resignation was laid over for consideration at the next meeting. Jacob Lakeman recently appointed on the police force, handed in his star and quit the job. He gave no reason for his act. Engineer O. E. Steward of the outfall sewer presented a report on the expenditures for April. The total expense was $868.27, of which Anaheim’s share was $139.32. The report was approved. Owing to heavy floods, the tonnage passing down the sewer was much greater in April than in previous months. Contracts for construction of sidewalk and curb on West Center street was awarded to Felix Graslil. His bid for sidewalk was 16 cents per square foot, and for curb 50 cents per square foot. Bids for printing and advertising for the coming year were opened. There were four bids for the job printing, the lowest being that of Ed P. Eason, who was given the contract. The Gazette was awarded the contract for publishing all ordinances and other legal publications not required by law to be printed in a daily newspaper. The Bulletin was given all legal which the law specifies FRANCIS CUTTLE SUBMITS REPORT Interesting Proceeding at Recent Meet of Advisory Councils Returning from San Francisco after attending a meeting of the five regional advisory councils of the California Development Association held at San Francisco, Francis Cuttle reports that there were present at the meeting representatives from every county in the state, and that activities on a very wide range of subjects were reported on by the chairmen of the different advisory councils. Principal among these is the necessity for co-ordinating the use of all of the water of the state so that better results may be obtained by carrying water from streams where it is wasted to other locations in the state where there is greater need for stabilizing the supply of irrigating water and where greater areas of land can be profitably irrigated. Many thought the riparian rights must be reinterpreted in some way so as not to prevent the greatest possible development and use of water. All agreed that it must be a statewide solution. A state committee will soon be appointed to undertake an intensive study of this problem. It was reported that 5000 acres are being reforested in the redwood region during this year and that some companies are planting 25 to 30 seedlings for every tree taken out. This is a splendid example of what can be done in the way of artificial reforestation. One of the principal matters under discussion was the necessity for the adoption of Constitutional Amendment No. 10, which will be on the ballot in November. This provides for exempting taxes on trees, including fruit trees under four years old, vines under three years old and lignature forest trees, whether planted or the result of natural growth, on land upon which 70 per cent state officer, on the Irvine boulevard.

Hills, 1336 East State street, Long Beach, 55 miles an hour in a 35-mile zone. All of the defendants are scheduled to appear in Justice Kenneth Morrison's court at 10 o'clock Friday morning.

THE Anaheim Beef Company, founded by John Reuther, 10 years ago, and which has grown from a small beginning into one of the largest business institutions in the city, is now the property of C.C. Chapman, pioneer orange grower, oil magnate and capitalist. The plant has been purchased by Mr. Chapman and is being reorganized. It is now closed down, but will open again in a week or two under a new name, and with J. Charles Thamer as manager. While the plant expanded and gradually increased its business and its working force from the day of its founding, it became involved financially, and several months ago the creditors brought suit in court, demanding a receiver, alleging mismanagement in the conduct of its affairs. The court declared the company bankrupt and appointed Mr. Thamer receiver. Since that date, while the business has been conducted as usual, the receiver has been in charge. It is believed the company's downfall was caused by the establishment of retail markets, thus incurring the eminence of competitors. The company had 13 retail establishments in Southern California at one time. When reopened for business the plant will sell only by wholesale, the retail establishments being disposed of or discontinued. The new owner expects to spend $25,000 in the reorganization work, and will put the business on a firm footing. It will open under a new name, and with new business methods it is believed it will develop into a great industry. CUPID'S PRANKS Miss Hazel H. Handasyde, 18, of Inglewood was the first June bride to appear at Cupid Backs' office, in the courthouse when business began on Tuesday morning. She was accompanied by Christopher J. Dee, 24, of Los Angeles. A license to wed was promptly issued to them. Cupid Backs looks for a land office business in marriage licenses this month, and he believes the brides will beat the record. During May 432 licenses were issued, breaking all May records. April, with 392 licenses, had smashed all previous records for that month, but not so decisively as May, which exceeded May 1925, by 75 licenses. The latter month had but 353. The present high record for all months, 492 established in June 1925 may toppled during the present month. Cupid Backs believes in view of June go over the 500 mark Contracts for construction of sidewalk and curb on West Center street was awarded to Felix Grasl. His bid for sidewalk was 16 cents per square foot, and for curb 50 cents per square foot. Bids for printing and advertising for the coming year were opened. There were four bids for the job printing, the lowest being that of Ed P. Eason, who was given the contract. The Gazette was awarded the contract for publishing all ordinances and other legal publications not required by law to be printed in a daily newspaper. The Bulletin was given all legal which the law specifies must be printed in a daily newspaper. Two important ordinances were passed by the council. They are: Ordinance No. 489, pertaining to the regulation of the use of gasoline, is an amendment to Section 7 of ordinance No. 487. The amendment reads as follows: "There shall be in every public garage and clothes cleaning establishment chemical fire extinguishers of such kind and quantity as shall be approved by the board of fire underwriters, state of California." Ordinance No. 490, providing for the sterilization of all second-hand furniture, clothes and other bedding or wearing apparel, reads: "It shall be unlawful for any person, firm, or corporation to sell, barter or exchange any second-hand clothing, furniture, bedding, mattresses, clothes or other bedding or wearing apparel within the corporate limits of the city of Anaheim without thoroughly fumigating and disinfecting said articles." Flammation and disease elsewhere in the body. Dr. Badgley states by the use of iridiagnosis in diagnosis we detect in the iris of the eye such diseases as tuberculosis, heart trouble and other diseases; then by placing this instrument on the spine, we detect which nerve or nerves is causing the breaking down of tissue or actual disease in the lungs; then by placing the instrument over the lungs, we can detect the exact spot or spots in the lungs themselves, thus proving that each diagnostic test proves up the other. This machine also traces impinged and inflamed nerves from the spine to the diseased organ. The advantages of this machine is that: the patient is convinced of its merits, as they can see it, feel it, and hear it. All who have studied the question believe that this would be a very great help in preserving the timber and petuguing its supply. However, it will be easily misunderstood by the average voter who may very readily get the idea that large lumber companies are seeking to have their properties exempt from taxation. It should be remembered that every citizen is vitally interested in the preservation of our timber for the conservation of water and for perpetuating the supply of lumber. A strong committee has been named to give the facts as great publicity as possible. However, it would require quite a large amount of money to give the necessary publicity, and no one seems willing to put up the money. The newspapers, as usual, can be counted upon for a good deal of free publicity on this important matter. Other subjects covered were federal and state forestry legislation, forest study work, educational campaigns for the prevention of fires, including the present status of the so-called Million Dollar bill for the securing of federal assistance for the building of fire prevention systems in the four national forests in Southern California. This bill is now pending in congress. From latest reports, it is quite doubtful that it will be enacted into law during the present session, but it has made splendid progress and if it is not enacted into law at this session, a concerted effort to secure this appropriation will be continued in an attempt to get it into the next budget and if not, to have it enacted by the next session of the national congress. April, with 392 licenses, had smashed all previous records for that month, but so decisively as May, which exceeded May, 1925, by 78 licenses. The latter month had but 353. The present high record for all months, 492, established in June, 1925, may stop during the present month. Cupid Backs believes. In view of the pace set by April and May, he expects to see June go over the 500 mark. JENSEN WINS MEDAL Robert Jensen won third place in the 50-yard high school swimming contest at Long Beach on Saturday afternoon. He had no trouble in qualifying at the elimination tests on Friday afternoon, and landed third out of a bunch of more than two hundred high school swimmers. In the 100-yard dash, he got away to a poor start, but by superior swimming passed his opponents and led the race for two and a half laps, when his strength failed him, and he failed to place. He is in receipt of an offer from Hollywood high to join their trio of swimmers and make a tour of the East next year. Bob is one of the best swimmers in Southern California, and but for ill luck in starting, would have won the 100-yard dash. His heart is true to Anaheim and he will continue to attend school here. QUIET WEDDING Tuesday evening, Dr. Benjamin Sherwood Haywood of White Temple Methodist church united in marriage Ruth Camp Bandini and Ned Virgil Tanner. The service was performed at the bride's home, 209 South Citron, and was witnessed by intimate friends of both parties. Mrs. Chloe Howe, Miss Betty West and Master Gilman Bandini were present. The ring service was used. After a brief honeymoon the new home will be established in Anaheim. Mr. Tanner is sales superintendent of a large oil industry, and the bride has been connected with the Southern Counties Gas Company. Both are well and prominently known.

He was supposed to sleep until noon, but this bird was just goose enough not to recognize the blue laws of Huntington Beach and escaped from his box at 8 o'clock. All day he played up and down the beautiful sands of Huntington Beach, much to the amusement of visitors. He would have made a success of his adventure had he not violated a traffic ordinance of the city. With from 58 to 82 cars per minute on Ocean boulevard the obstruction of traffic is a violation of the law. Much to the amusement of the crowd, the bird was placed under arrest in spite of his many protections. The place they put violators of the traffic laws in Huntington Beach is in jail. For the want of a better place, that is where this bird went. MEMORIAL DAY EXERCISES AT CEMETERY. HUNDRED GRAVES OF DEAD VETERANS DECORATED WITH CEREMONIES Seven Members of Malvern Hill Post Buried Since Last Decoration Day in Anaheim and Loma Vista Cemeteries; Rev. A. B. Markle and Capt. J. B. Root Orators of the Day Here; Large Crowd in Attendance States' Expenses Running High California Fourth in Governmental Costs Among States California, with annual expenditures in excess of $75,000,000, ranks fourth highest among the states of the Union in governmental costs, according to a comparative statement made public today by State Treasurer Charles G. Johnson. Hasing his statement on state tabulations and financial statistics just received from the federal census bureau, Treasurer Johnson placed New York at the top of the list with a total of $161,755,161. Illinois, in second place, reported a yearly total of $121,104,880, and Pennsylvania came third with expense totaling $93,833,391. California, fourth highest, reported the cost of operating its state government at $75,332,566. Johnson stated that the government cost tables were for the year 1924; this being the latest comparative data available. The grand total of expenditures, representing the combined cost of maintaining governments of the 48 states for the 12-month period, was fixed at $1,506,302,429. In per capita governmental cost payments, California was placed sixth highest by the federal bureau, Johnson said. The rate for this state was given as $15.66 for each resident, as compared to an average in the country at large of $9.60. Per capita expenditures in the five states exceeding California's rate were given as follows: Nevada, $27.38; North Dakota, $25.71; Kansas, $22.59; Delaware, $17.52; Wyoming, $17.43. JUNIOR COLLEGE Seven Members of Malvern Hill Post Buried Since Last Decoration Day in Anaheim and Loma Vista Cemeteries; Rev. A. B. Markle and Capt. J. B. Root Orators of the Day Here; Large Crowd in Attendance NEARLY one hundred mounds under which rest the bones of warriors of the three last conflicts in which this nation has been engaged were decorated with beautiful flowers by loving hands in the Anaheim and Loma Vista cemeteries last Monday. Seven members of Malvern Hill post, who a year ago helped strew flowers on the graves of departed comrades, were themselves lying under the sod last Monday. Of the hundreds who have their names on the roster of the post, only thirty survive. The balance have been mustered out. The usual program for Memorial Day was carried out this year, services being held at the Anaheim cemetery in the forenoon, and at Loma Vista in the afternoon. The G. A. R., the Spanish War Veterans, the American Legion, the W. R. C., Daughters of Veterans and auxiliaries all took part in the services. The assemblage gathered at the arched gateway to the cemetery, where the procession was formed, with the American Legion band in the lead. The first stop was made at the monument for the unknown dead, where Capt. J. B. Root, past commander of the post, made a short but eloquent address, paying tribute to the numerous unrecognized soldiers who are sleeping in unnamed graves. The service here was short. Rev. G. G. Schmid opened with an invocation. Following Captain Root's address, a detail of Boy Scouts raised the flag. This was followed by a salute and a pledge of allegiance to the flag. Taps and a volley by the American Legion detail ended the services here, after which the procession reformed and proceeded to the mausoleum, where the principal services were held. Following is the program: Prayer.....Rev. B. S. Haywood Daet..... Mrs. Walter Ross, Mrs. A. L. Knipe Lincoln's Gettysburg Address..... Master Lenna Tanner Selection....Mrs. Walter Ross Address....Comrade A. B. Markle "America"...Led by Legion Band Boundation....Rev. Otho Williams Conrade A. B. Markle, chaplain of the post, although he has passed his eighty-sixth birthday, made a stirring address, reviewing the causes that brought on the Civil war. This was the third Memorial Day speech Elder Markle has made in the Anaheim cemetery. Following the services here, the members of Malvern post were entertained at luncheon by the Woman's Relief Corps at Fullerton, and in the afternoon services similar to those at the Anaheim cemetery were held at In per capita governmental cost payments, California was placed sixth highest by the federal bureau, Johnson said. The rate for this state was given as $15.66 for each resident, as compared to an average in the country at large of $9.60. Per capita expenditures in the five states exceeding California's rate were given as follows: Nevada, $27.38; North Dakota, $25.71; Kansas, $22.59; Delaware, $17.52; Wyoming, $17.43. JUNIOR COLLEGE IS NOT LEGAL Attorney General Supports District Attorney in Opinion Attorney General U. S. Webb, in an opinion on file, approved the ruling of District Attorney Alex P. Nelson, holding that the Santa Ana board of education has no authority to establish and maintain a junior high school in the high school district. The district attorney had ruled that as Santa Ana was a city of the fifth class and had annexed only seven or eight outlying elementary school districts, the board was not authorized to create a junior high school. In supporting the opinion, the attorney general cited the state law, which states that the only high school districts authorized to form junior high schools are county school districts, union high districts and joint union high school districts and only on approval of a majority of the boards of trustees of the elementary school districts comprising the high school districts. BUILDING PERMITS Figures compiled in the office of R. P. Tompkins, city building inspector, show a large increase in building permits during the month of May. Fourteen permits were issued, aggregating in value $100,025, as against 10 permits with a valuation of $7830 during a corresponding period in 1925. The first free months of the current year show an increase in building permits issued of 70 per cent, 1926 figures showing a total of $138,075 against $111,047 in 1925. VENISON OUT OF SEASON A gunny sack and suitcase contain 30 packages of "jerky" marked at $1.25 a package proved the undoing of Henry Bristol and Evans McDonald of Arcata, when they were apprehended recently by Game Patrolman McPherson Lough. Taken before Justice of the Peace Adams, at Arcata, Bristol entered a plea of guilty and was fined in the sum of $100. McDonald, who is but 17 years of age, entered a plea of not guilty and his case was certified to the juvenile courts of Humboldt county. The pair were traveling along a county road when overhaul by Patrolman Lough. The charge was a dual one of taking deer out of season and of possession of deer meat in a closed season. Bristol elected to spend 100 days in jail in lieu of the fine. McDonald was remanded into the custody of Sheriff Arthur A. Ross, pending his trial.
