Tourists Flocking To Death Valley Has Delightful Climate During Winter Months, It Is Said Death Valley, scene of summer awesomeness and occasional tragedy, has a delightful and wholesome climate during the winter months, and many motorists are now being attracted to this almost lifeless region of barren sand, and much interest is being centered on the early history of this valley. Little was known of this sunken desert prior to 1850, although it was undoubtedly visited by white men who wished to live far from the haunts of sheriffs and jurisdiction of courts. Its history may be said to have begun in 1850, when it received its name from a gruesome tragedy, the details of which are more tradition than history. A party of emigrants, California bound, left the main traveled trail at Salt Lake City, endeavoring to locate Cajon pass, through the San Bernardino mountains. They passed through the vicinity now known as Ploche, through the Pahran-gat mountains and reached Ash Meadows, east of the Funeral range. Westward from this point their difficulties became greater and greater, and much equipment was abandoned in order to lighten their loads. Their route carried them over the jagged summit of the Funeral mountains and down over the scorching, palpitating valley, which in its deceptiveness appeared as a cool river. Heated by the full fury of the sun, terror spread among the emigrants, causing them to abandon their wagons and cattle and to scatter in groups, who searched along the base of the Panamints for water and egress from the fiery furnace. Of the 30 emigrants in the party, probably 12 of them located the gan now named Emigrant Work and Kiwanis Lodge Sends Greetings (Continued from Page One) factory and its efforts to saddle a great blanket mortgage upon the community, the free-silver fight of 1896, and various other schemes seeking to place burdensome indebtedness upon the people. These are a few of the battles which have come to us in these forty years of editorial work. Others there were, to be sure, but they for the moment may be left in abeyance. It is nothing but the truth to say that in all of these discussions we had the support and the assistance of the good men and women of the community. Our people have not all been bad during these forty years. On the contrary, they have been for the most part very good. But schemers have come into the community seeking to foist their nefarious plans upon the people, and it was the bounden duty of a courageous newspaper to speak out against their infamies and to defeat them at every turn. We have been offered sums of money, but are still poor. We have been threatened with criminal libel proceedings against us, but we have kept out of the lockup. We have found these schemers, all of them, to be four-flushers, villainous, false alarms, easy to defeat, and it was a rare pleasure to smite them hip and thigh. We have been in political fights; sometimes we lost, and sometimes we won, but we took these things as a matter of course as they came along. When we shall lay down our editorial pen is a matter for the future to determine, but so long as we shall have the kindly greetings such as are here sent to us by Kiwanis, we shall continue in the pleasant task which fate has mapped out for us. To these good citizens we return our unbound thanks, and we add that if all the people who have come to Anaheim in these last forty years were half as good as they are, we never should have had a single fight at all.

When the telegraph ticked off this glorious news from the national capital, growers flocked into the city; church and school bells were rung, and the fire bell also did its duty. There was a great celebration. We walked down the line with some of these old-timers, and some of them took a little lemon in theirs and we took ours straight. Where are the boys of the old brigade? The county division fight, the sugar factory on wheels and its colossal bonding scheme and other fights may go over into another chapter. We salute Kiwanls and if we have their approbation we shall thank the stars above for having our lines cast in such pleasant places. All these fights were like picnics to us and, while at times they were scrapy enough, we look back at them as among the pleasantest experiences of our life. We have had the distinction of being threatened with being made the target for bullets, but we felt all along they were nothing but blank cartridges anyhow. Once again our heartfelt thanks and a sense of deep appreciation to the members of Kiwanls. If we merit their approval, that is quite enough for us. Buena Park Notes (By MES. J. P.

News has been received of the wedding of Miss Anna Jones of Huntington Wet Weather Hints Given to Motorists Now that the rainy season has started, driving an automobile will take considerably more skill than it has for the past several months. Good drivers will find that their tasks have been enlarged, while inexperienced drivers will notice an altogether different aspect to piloting an automobile through wet streets and over slippery highways than over dry roads where the traction is so good that it is never a consideration. Motors will act differently under changed weather conditions and the car mechanism will respond in an unfamiliar way. With these facts in mind, L.C.Shaw of the service department of the automobile club has prepared the following suggestions for wet weather driving: The car should be kept in the best possible condition so that it will respond to any emergency which might result from circumstances due to the wet season. The windshield wiper should be in the best of working order. Wet distributors are one of the chief causes of trouble. Shaw suggests this remedy: Take an old inner tube and cut a piece of sufficient length, say from eight to twelve inches, to fit over the distributor and well up on the wiring. Tie it at the top over the wires. When stopping the car, do not disengage the clutch until the car is almost at a standstill. Instead, push the brake in and let it out, continuing this process until the car is brought to a gradual stop. That is the way to stop on a slippery street. The brake mechanism should be kept in as perfect order as is possible. On streets and highways that are shaded by trees, the motorist should maintain great caution, as the leaves from trees fall to the ground, and the moisture which adheres to them greatly increases the chances for skidding. The results are often serious. Another difficulty of the rainy season is the result of driving over flooded streets and highways at too great a speed. The motorist should slow down when approaching such a road, and it to the Manchester Boulevard Improvement Association. About two hundred were present. Frank Merriam of Long Beach was toastmaster. C. L. McComber gave the address of welcome. The Fullerton city band played. O. P. Bunyard, violinist, and Roy Long, banjo, gave selections. Tulks were given by William Schumacher, Fred T. Beatty, V. D. Johnson, E. W. Mattoon, and Hugh Pomoroy. After the program, election of officers resulted in Sam Hudlext of South Gate being re-elected president, Walter Greening of Norwalk, first vice-president, while Hogan Willford and Louis A. Griley were re-elected second vice-president and secretary-treasurer, respectively. The next monthly meeting will be at Graham. J. H. Plater, experienced garage man, is now associated with J. H.
