Miss Matilda Rimpau is the first graduate from the Anaheim high school. She completed a full course including General history, physiology, natural philosophy, rhetoric, higher algebra, geometry, trigonometry, geology, astronomy, chemistry, mental philosophy, botany and zoology. The beauty, grace and self possession of the young graduate elicited many flattering compliments from her audience. Her valedictory beautifully expressed her deep and heartfelt regrets at parting with her schoolmates and teachers. On Friday exercises were held in the lower grades presided over by Mr. Henderson, Mrs. Breed and Miss Mary Brier. The game of baseball played on the recreation grounds last Saturday was well attended by visitors. The Acme boys were the most tastefully dressed club we have ever seen, white caps, blue shirts, and pants and red stockings. Owing to a slight misunderstanding the game was not called until 1:40. As most of the Anaheim boys were not in town, a number of the Orange boys played, so in fact it was a game with the second nine of Orange, instead of the Anaheim club, which has been non est for a year or so. The game was well played and was very interesting throughout. The score stood 22 to 20 in favor of the Acme club. The assessor of Anaheim school district has completed the assessment roll. The total value of taxable property is $420,915. Last year it was $341,122, which shows an increase this year of $79,793. The rate of taxation this year is 40 cents on the $100; last year it was 52 cents. If there is a corresponding increase to taxable property throughout the county we can hope for a largely decreased tax rate. Wm. W. R. Oldin has visited a great many wheat fields in the past few days, and he thinks that in a great majority of them from one-half to two-thirds of a crop will be harvested. The cool foggy weather which succeeded the hot spell has materially altered the condition of the crops, and fields which were at one time thought entirely ruined will give a fair yield. The 320 acres of land advertised for sale by R. W. Scott Esq. is one of the choicest tracts in the county and will be sold for several thousand dollars less than its actual value, the owner being forced to part with it. Those having money to spare will find a good speculation in buying the track. Messrs. Gennert and Nadeau have selected a site for a beet sugarie.

S OF LONG AGO JUNE 8, 1905 Alexander Henry fired a salute of 21 guns at Caledonia grove on Wednesday evening in honor of the Japanese victory in the battle of the Japan sea. Alex fought against the Russians during the Crimea, and participated in the siege of Sebastopol. For months past he has had his cannon loaded in anticipation of Togo administering a defeat to his ancient enemy. Accordingly when news arrived of the annihilation of Rojestvensky, Henry called his clansmen together and proceeded with the salute which reverberated from mountain top to mountain top and wakened the echoes of the entire countryside. When twenty-one guns had been fired Henry decided to fire one for Rojestvensky. The gun was loaded again. It was touched off, and lo! it burst into a thousand pieces, some of the fragments being found the following morning a half mile away. Luckily no one was struck by flying missiles. Henry says the reason of it is that the cannon was insulted at the idea of firing a salute to a Russian. The fragments were gathered up, placed in a sack and hung up at the grove labeled "Here lies the last of the Russian fleet." Anaheim has the champion native-born Chinese shortstop in the business, by name Ling Fat, son of Man Wo, the Chinese Mandarin. Ling eats up hot liners like they were chop suey, throws with unerring precision and bats balls so far that at times it is almost impossible to recover them. Will Mr. Morley of the Seraphs look this way? A. S. Bradford and A. T. Pendleton of Placentia and Lawyer Stevens of Santa Ana were in town on Tuesday acting as appraisers of property on the Leonard Parker estate. There are nine heirs, and Judge West ordered that the property be divided into nine equal parts. The estate comprises 63 acres northeast of town, together with 59 shares of water stock and is valued at about $15,000. Supt. Porter of the Water company has put in the division COST OF SICKNESS AND GROWS EXPENSIVE Nation Wide Survey Being Made By American Medical Association The high cost of being sick is an increasing problem to the people of Anaheim, who annually lose $1,690,000 in actual cash or loss of income as the result of illness. This estimate is made as the result of a nation-wide survey by a special committee on medical care under the American Medical Association and headed by Secretary of the Interior Ray Lyman Wilbur. In California the survey was carried on in 1,500 families in three general localities—San Francisco, Sacramento and San Joaquin valleys, Los Angeles and Southern California. Four groups were questioned in perils three months apart. They are the $1,200-a-year families, the $2,400-a-year families, the $3,600-a-year families and those with incomes in excess of $5,000 a year. During the first three months of each year, sickness is more prevalent in California than in the United States as a whole, it was discovered. The San Francisco survey showed 1.2 persons per family. California as a whole showed 1.1 per family, and the entire United States 94 per family. For the summer months the report 74 persons per family and 71 for the entire state. "The middle class of workers is hardest hit by the high cost of sickness," the report said. "The man of small income who is proud and self-sustaining sends his sick to private hospitals. The very poor use the county institution. The rick can afford the cost." Average loss from sickness per family was estimated at $567, while the average per person is slightly more than $130. In California the total sickness bill is estimated in the neighborhood over three-quarters of a billion dollars a year, and in the United States as a whole, $15,729,396 a year. According to Dr. Homer Felsk, secretary of the State Charities' Aid Association, the cost for the nation may be A. S. Bradford and A. T.

Porter of the Water company has put in the division gate in Bedrock Canyon, dividing the waters of the river equally between each side of the stream. The Anaheim company's intake is within an eighth of a mile of the division gate: That of the Santa Ana company is some three miles down stream. Manager Davis of the Citrus Union has received returns on several more carloads of oranges, which make what is considered a good showing for Fullerton fruit. A carload of Mediterranean sweets from the Gilman ranch sold in Tacoma for $514 net to the grower; and a shipment of 1478 packed boxes from the J. M. Fiske orchards one of the finest orange groves in the county, sold in the east for $1540 net to the grower. Another car of sweets from the Gilman orchards sold at Grand Rapids for $481 net to the grower.
