The Anaheim Library society held its regular meeting in Magnolia hall last Thursday evening. The president and vice-president being absent the secretary called the meeting to order and F. W. Athearn was chosen president pro tem. Mr. Mendelson read a criticism on the library exercises held on July 18. None of the members appointed for acclamation being present the debate was declared in order. The question, Resolved, "That the execution of Mary Queen of Scots was justifiable," was discussed affirmatively by Messrs. McFadden and Montgomery and negatively by Messrs. Mendelson and Cahill. The committee gave their decision in favor of the affirmative. The following program was reported for next meeting. Declamations by Addison Dyer, Harry Hanna and F. G. Athearn. Question for discussion, Resolved, "That the chief executive of a state should be deprived of the power to grant pardons to criminals." Affirmative, Henderson, Payne, Fish. Negative, Cahill, Grimshaw, Shaffer.
Sometimes on Sunday night thieves gained access to the butcher shop of P. H. Look & Co. and stole therefrom some hams, bacon and lard and Mr. Look's favorite carving knife. When the members of the firm opened the shop on Monday morning and discovered their loss, they traced the tracks to the rear of the building, where they found two of the hams which the thieves evidently had been unable to carry away.

Sometime on Sunday night thieves gained access to the butcher shop of P. H. Look & Co. and stole therefrom some hams, bacon and lard and Mr. Look's favorite carving knife. When the members of the firm opened the shop on Monday morning and discovered their loss, they traced the tracks to the rear of the building, where they found two of the hams which the thieves evidently had been unable to carry away. The tracks were easily traced as far as Chinatown, and this fact, added to the peculiar formation of the tracks, leads to the belief that the perpetrators were Chinamen. A search warrant was issued and the Chinese quarters investigated, but none of the plunder was recovered. The loss to Messrs. Look & Co. is about $14.
T. S. Grimshaw has recently added greatly to the mechanical appliances of his wagon shop. By the aid of his turning and sawing machinery he expects soon to be able to manufacture and sell a farm wagon for the price now paid for wagons of Eastern make. He imports all his material from the East, and there is little doubt that when he has perfected some minor arrangements he will be in a position to cope with Eastern-made work as to price, while the quality of the workmanship is decidedly superior.
Leonard Parker kindly brought to our office the other day a box of muscat raisins. Raisins, like wine, appear to improve with age. Those of Mr. Parker had become sweeten and had a flavor not perceptible in the new raisin. The saccharine matter had exuded and become encrusted on the outside of the raisin, and in every respect they were the equal of the imported article. When the important matter of packing their products in attractive and showy fashion receives the attention of our producers, they will find that they have discovered the sesame which will open the doors to a profitable market.
Messrs. Goodman and Rimpau are offering great bargains in all lines of goods for the rest of this month. People from the country should not fail to visit them when they come to Anaheim. Farmers will be particularly interested to learn that Messrs. Goodman and Rimpau will pay cash for grain delivered at Anaheim railroad depot, Anaheim Landing or at Santa Ana.
A blue-enameled socket and gold neck chain was lost on Sunday between Mrs. Morrison's house and the photographic gallery, or between Mr. Pellegrin's and the gallery. A liberal reward will be paid the finder by returning it to the photograph gallery on Los Angeles street.
W. B. Lamson, one of the trustees of Alamitos school district informs us that school opened there on July 28th with Mrs. Baldwin as teacher.

The meetings of Anaheim Lodge, No. 207, F. & A. M., will hereafter be held on the Monday of or preceding the full moon.
It is said that C. E. French has received instructions from Mr. Irvine, owner of the San Joaquin rancho, to oppose the opening of any road through said rancho. As the road from Anaheim to Silverado passes through the San Joaquin, and as the supervisors have lately declared it a public highway, it is in order to ask Mr. Irvine, "What are you going to do about it?"

AUGUST 6, 1903
The Sunset Telephone company begins this week with an all-night service. George Hatfield will be in charge of the night service. Miss Belle Lyon will continue in charge of the day service. The company have just completed a suburban line to Los Alamitos, with numerous subscribers along the route. The 15 cents toll imposed for messages between this city and Fullerton, Placentia and other nearby points, will, it is asserted, soon be eliminated, which will greatly increase the scope and efficiency of the service.
The walls of the new postoffice building have been completed and the roof is being given finishing touches. The building will have a cement floor and will probably be ready for occupancy in two or three weeks. The site is almost upon the identical spot where the postoffice stood twenty years ago. The new building is a substantial brick and is a neat edifice architecturally.
Company E leaves town this morning for the State Encampment at Coronado Beach. Lieut. Zeus will be in command. A meeting of the company was held at the armory last night at which final arrangements were made for transporting troops and equippage. The company will be gone ten days.
Mrs. Sophie Kroeger, wife of Henry Kroeger, died at the
Rotation Grazing Improves Range
The most striking accomplishment noted in range management on the Cache National Forest in southern Idaho is the bringing back of range areas by a system of deferred and rotation grazing on a large scale, says Assistant District Forester C. N. Woods of the Forest Service, United States Department of Agriculture, who recently visited the Cache.
Areas which a few years ago were badly depleted by overgrazing now show marked improvement under this system, which is one of the more important developments of range research. On one allotment for 2000 head of cattle, approximately one-fourth of the allotment is being deferred through the help of natural barriers and considerable herding. Last year this particular area was not grazed until September and this year it will not be grazed until August. Other areas are getting similar treatment.

Company E leaves town this morning for the State Encampment at Coronado Beach. Lieut. Zeus will be in command. A meeting of the company was held at the armory last night at which final arrangements were made for transporting troops and equippage. The company will be gone ten days.
Mrs. Sophie Kroeger, wife of Henry Kroeger, died at the family residence on Center street on Thursday morning. She was aged 69 years and 11 months, and had been in ill health for some time past. Mrs. Kroeger was one of Anaheim's earliest pioneers, coming here with her family in the early 60's. She had a wide circle of friends and acquaintances who deplore her death. She leaves a husband and seven grown children to mourn her loss. Funeral services were held on Sunday afternoon, Rev. Hilmer officiated. Interment was in Anaheim cemetery.
R. H. Gilman was a visitor in town on Tuesday from Placentia. He reports walnuts a light crop, but some orchards promise well. The shortness of the crop he attributes to the blight, which is of bacterial origin and confronts growers with the most serious problem they have had to contend with in years.
Mr. and Mrs. John Hart were visitors in town on Saturday from Los Angeles. Mr. Hart informs us he contemplates returning to this city to reside, and will, in the near future, begin the erection of a handsome house on his walnut tract on North Los Angeles street.
Oscar Renner has returned from an outing at the San Juan Hot Springs. Oscar brings back a quantity of honey, which has proven, by a sample on the editorial table, to be firstclass. Four deer were killed during his sojourn at the springs and the campers enjoyed a fine venison dinner.
John Hanna was in town from Miraflores a day or two ago. He reports walnuts promising a light crop in his section, but holds that falling nuts are not so numerous in his non-irrigated orchard as among irrigated trees. Mr. Hanna is a dessenter from the usual idea about irrigation and his trees have never received any water except that afforded by the rainfall.
Voters in the new school district recently formed in Brea Canyon held an election on Thursday to select a site for a school house. Twenty votes were cast in favor of the two-and-a-half-acre tract offered by the owners of the new Randolph Townsite company, and five favored the tract offered by Dan Murphy in the canyon. The former site was chosen.
Anaheim has come to be one of the largest lumber distributors in Orange county, and a number of carloads may be seen upon the sidetracks laden with all sorts of building material. Seven carloads were unloaded into the Griffith yards a few days ago, and this week another long string of them rolled in. Mr. Grim, manager of the yards, is kept on the jump and is rapidly becoming gray-headed under the increasing demand upon his time and attention. Anaheim is doing more building at present than at any time in her history. Upwards of a dozen fine residences are building; a new church edifice is nearing completion and the new post-office building is almost ready for occupancy.

Perils of Childhood
"I must be all of twenty years ago that mother first gave me Syrup Pepsin
For those Fevers, Colds and Bowel Troubles of Childhood
How time flies. My good mother has gone to her rest, but I have faithfully relied upon her judgment and have given Syrup Pepsin to my two children since they were born. It is certainly a noble medicine and never fails of its purpose. I like to recommend it."

And in the Evening of Life
When age comes creeping on, with bowels relaxed,
muscles weak, digestion poor and blood thinned, then is when constipation does its evil work in a night.
Dr. Caldwell's Syrup Pepsin is so palatable, sets so well in the stomach, works so easily, so gently, so kindly with old folks as to accomplish its purpose without gripe, pain or other distress. For billiousness, sour stomach, bloated tongue, headache, fevers, colds and constipation from infancy to old age Syrup Pepsin is recommended everywhere and sold by all druggists.
