Bacon of San Juan Capistrano was in town yesterday. We understand that Mr. S. A. Sheffield is about to erect a fine residence on his lot on Los Angeles street. Rev. J. M.

Dr. Gulick leaves town this morning to rusticate in the country, and hopes the people's teeth will quit aching until his return. The assessment roll has been footed up. We are indebted to Mr. A. W. Ryan, county assessor for the following statement: 1876—Value of land in the county, $5,435,164; value of improvements, $1,328,810; value of town property, $229,330; value of improvements, $221,320; value of real estate in the city of Los Angeles, $3,202,215; value of improvements in the city of Los Angeles, $1,365,834; value of improvements on lands not enumerated above, $61,777; value of personal property in the county, $1,948,-710; value of personal property in the city, $855,462; money, $105,702; grand total, $14,844,322. The grand total of the assessment roll for 1875 was $15,019,-613. From this total, however, is to be deducted, say, in round numbers, $2,000,000 worth of mortgages and solvent debts, although the amount was some greater, which items have not been assessed this year, leaving a virtual increase of about $2,000,000 in the value of real and personal estate in the city and county for the present fiscal year. Last year the total real estate in the city and county was assessed at $7,748,044, the improvements at $2,557,705; total, $10,305,749. This year the real estate is assessed at $8,956,707, the improvements at $2,915,964, total $11,871,671—an increase in these two values of $1,565,922. Montgomery Queen's Great Centennial circus will exhibit in Anaheim on Saturday, July 29, on the grounds immediately north of the Bank of America. M. R. Gaddy returned from the Capistrano Hot Springs on Saturday. He reports the invalids in that section improving in health, and he brings in his own countenance sufficient evidence of the health-giving properties of the waters. Los Angeles is to have a public library of 2000 volumes. We understand that M. Calisher will leave for Arizona on Monday. Bids will be called for soon from contractors wishing to build the bridge over the river at Los Angeles. S OF LONG AGO Issued Half a Century and a Quarter of a Century Authentic History in Print of the Daily Doings Orange County in the Days of the Pioneers. 25 YEARS AGO THIS WEEK THURSDAY, JULY 18, 1901 A foot race between Joe Backs of this city and a San Francisco sprinter named Peter Geary for $25 a side drew a crowd of several hundred persons to Broadway on Saturday afternoon. Herman Dickel and Fritz Yungbluth were selected as judges, and Billy Freise acted as starter. The runners lost no time in starting. Backs led for more than half the distance, when the San Francisco man ran ahead and finished six feet ahead of him, in 10 1-5 seconds. The judges decided that Geary fouled Backs, and declared it no race. John B. Ramella died from the effects of internal cancer at a Los Angeles hospital on Friday morning, July 12.

John Johnson, while on the desert two years ago, ran a cactus thorn into his finger which he could not extract, and which has since remained imbedded in the flesh. Some days ago it became so painful that on Tuesday he had Dr. Eddy open the finger and extract it. John Vinson contemplates leaving this week for Oklahoma, where he expects to take up acreage in the newly opened sections of government land. He has seen in the public prints lately accounts of the thousands of boomers awaiting the order to go in, but is not deterred thereby and will endeavor to select some good land despite the rush. H. C. Gade made a trip to Strawberry valley last week, moving Professor Zeus and his painting outfit. The professor has been engaged to make a number of sketches of valley scenes, and will be absent some months. Mr. Gade pronounces the valley one of the lovliest spots in California.

On June 1, 1926, practically 24 per cent of all the counties in the United States were actively engaged in eradicating tuberculosis from cattle within their borders.

Peters was eating and, when he opened his mouth, his jaw became dislocated and locked. Two physicians were summoned and he was put under chloroform before they finally succeeded in restoring his face to a natural expression. Peters' sufferings were severe. He will be compelled to wear a close bandage about his jaw for several days. Cash Harvey is at his home in Santa Ana, where he is lying very ill. C. C.

HUNT, Agent 122 South Ohio St., Anaheim Phone 129 A. W. CLEAVER, Prop. FULLERTON 225 W. Santa Fe Ave. Phone 26 "INSIDE" INFORMATION "Carrots will make you beautiful" is indirectly true, because carrots are an excellent source of mineral matter which is used in regulating body processes and building tissues. They are especially rich in calcium and a good source of at least three vitamins. Have you ever used horseradish in sauce for beets? Try a little next time you serve this vegetable. A bit of ginger also combines well with beets in vinegar. One of the easiest ways of preparing eggplant is to bake it in lengthwise halves with strips of bacon laid over the top. Gash the flesh so that the flavor will be well distributed. There is no basis for the widespread notion that fish is particularly valuable as a brain food.
