We wish the people of Anaheim would take an interest in the coming Horticultural and Agricultural Fair in Los Angeles, and would bestir themselves to the end that a creditable exhibit of Anaheim’s products should be one of the features of the Fair. Whatever descriptive writing we do, whatever pains we take to disseminate information about this place, must, to be effective, be supplemented by our people whenever such opportunity is presented as is offered by this Fair. There will be thousands of people present who have read largely about Anaheim, and who will be on the qui vive for the sight of our exhibit of the productions they have read so much about. If they are disappointed and fail to get any evidence of the truth of what they have read, the result will be injurious to our section. There is certain to be a large attendance, from the fact that President Hayes, General Sherman and other dignitaries will be present at least one day. There will also be correspondents of a number of eastern papers and we are informed that every department of the Fair will be illustrated in a New York pictorial paper. Shall Anaheim be represented? It would pay to raise by subscription a sufficient sum to employ a man to collect the material for an exhibit and forward it to Los Angeles. If one has the leisure to work the matter up, he could probably get enough money donated to pay him well for his trouble and there is no doubt that our people would let him have material to exhibit, if he would take all the trouble from off their hands. All exhibits should be in place in the Pavilion on or before October 15th as the Fair opens on the 18th. The railroad will carry articles intended for exhibition free of charge, and the Express company will carry free all packages weighing 20 pounds or less.

A large sized row took place on last Sunday night in a Chinese store on First North street. While the proprietor, Sin Sam Lee, was counting some money, (the store being full of Chinamen) the lights were blown out suddenly and he was stabbed in the back of the neck. In the confusion which ensued about thirty dollars in money was taken. Two Chinamen were arrested for the crime, but Justice Bailey discharged them as the proof was insufficient to convict.
At a meeting of the Republican club on Saturday evening the following officers were chosen: President D. E. Miles, vice-presidents, W. M. Higgins, J. M. Guinn, B. F. Seibert, and Theo. Reiser, Secretary Max Nebelung, Treasurer F. Hartung, Sergeant-at-arms W. Clift. The club will meet fort-nightly.
Referring to a paragraph in the Commercial which intimates that the Gazette editor has become a Greenbacker, a friend in Los Angeles writes consolingly: "Never mind what Bemj says. He is nothing but an old sore anyway." We are grieved that anybody should write so flippantly and ineverently about such a venerable old man.
Mr. Nadeau has shipped several tons of dried beets to the sugar works at Alvarado, and he is now there awaiting the result. We will know in a few days whether Los Angeles beets on Gennert's machinery are to blame for the failure to make sugar.
Item from Los Angeles Herald—There is a tide of luck which seems to be setting in towards L. J. Rose with resistless volume. There is really no limit to it. Saturday saw him a father and a grandfather both Mrs. Rose and her daughter, Mrs. Watchel, on the same day giving birth to lusty sons. Nor was that all. On this same fateful Saturday, "Sweetheart," one of Mr. Roses's colts, made the fastest mile on the Sacramento course ever chronicled of a two-year-old in the world 2.26½.
It is not generally known that the people of Riverside, San Bernardino county, procure a large proportion of the lumber used by them for building purposes from the lumber yard of A. Guy Smith & Co. in Anaheim. They can haul the lumber cheaper from here than they can send it by rail from Los Angeles to Colton and from thence to Riverside by team.
Mr. B. F. Seibert received by express from Arizona the other day a fine piece of silver bearing quartz taken from a recently found ledge in his mine in Globe District. Flakes of pure silver are plainly to be seen all over the specimen and a ledge of such ore will make a Rothschild of the fortunate owner.
The Rev. W. H. Hill of Los Angeles will hold services in the Episcopal church tomorrow as follows: Morning prayer—sermon and prayer

Superior Judge Sepulveda has been holding court here for ten days past, and as on previous visits impresses everybody very favorably. We consider him one of the very ablest judges in California and his record shows fewer reversals than that of any other. He has a life position in Los Angeles county. — Ventura Free Press.
The railroad company are building a depot, size 16x22 feet, at Orange station. It is said that the new depot, like all those which have lately been built by the company, will have some pretentions to architectural beauty.

Mr. Ed. Dunham has returned from his San Diego trip. The rumor that he had leased the Horton House at that place and would remove thither is a mistake.

The Republican Mass meeting held in Kroeger's hall on Monday evening was addressed by Hon. R. Pacheco of San Luis Obispo, Hon. E. D. Wheeler of San Francisco and Hon Thos. R. Bard of Ventura. A large number of people was in attendance and much enthusiasm was manifested.

Madame Helene Modjeska leaves her home at Arden in Santiago canyon this week to go to New York in preparation for a four months season on the stage. Mme. Modjeska will not appear in New York in view of the fact that she has already made a formal farewell appearance there but will commence her tour at some other eastern point and come westward finishing on the Pacific coast. He husband, Count Bozenta, will accompany her.
Anaheim is short on hotel accommodations. A good first-class hotel is one of the urgent needs of the city. Let our local capitalists take the matter up and give it careful consideration. New business houses are in contemplation, backed by local capital, but nothing is needed more than a modern hotel. The throngs of easterners now pouring into Los Angeles are invading the outlying towns in search of accommodations for the winter. There is not a first class hotel in Southern California but what is paying well. A good hotel here will pay from the start. It is at this time the one crying need of the town.
Prohibitionists have met in county convention at Santa Ana and appointed a new county committee, of which the following are members: George Stanley of this city, L. N. Evans of West Anaheim, Stephen McCullough of Fullerton, L. B. Selver of Placentia and Harry Little of La Habra. It is reported that an active prohibition campaign will be inaugurated for the spring elections in this city and Fullerton.

The lady comes highly recommended from the largest millinery houses in the east and the work she is turning out is greatly admired. She will be a valuable addition to the efficient force of this progressive firm.
Wild Life Protected by Federal Commission
California's fishing enthusiasts are being warned by the Izaak Walton League of America that the federal power commission must be given power to regulate federal conservation laws in order that fish and other valuable wild life might be protected.
The league advocates legislation amending the power law so it will call upon the federal commission to:
1. Consider the effect upon scenic, historic, recreational and other public values when passing upon power applications.
2. Secure for government scientific bureaus expert opinion on effect of each proposed power project on wild life of all types and permit only such construction that will cause no destruction of migratory fish and other wild life.
3. Require all power licensees to clean and remove timber and brush from banks of streams and lakes so as to minimize unhealthy conditions.
4. Require all licensees to allow sufficient flow of water below all dams.
5. Require licensees to open impounded waters to public fishing, bathing, boating and other recreational uses.

The First National bank this week purchased the property which it now occupies from A. L. Lewis, A. V. Smith and others, the consideration being $4,000. The premises will be occupied by the American Savings bank when the First National moves to its new quarters now being prepared for it on the corner of Center and Los Angeles streets. The newly organized German-American bank made an offer to purchase the old bank property from its owners, hearing of which the First National closed the deal by buying the property it had so long occupied. Some notable improvements to the interior are contemplated.
John Brunworth, Roman Wisser, Dick Heitshusen and Mr. Bayha took a trip to Anaheim Landing on Friday. The gentlemen are firmly convinced that gas exists in the territory east of the Landing. A match lighted in proximity to one of the flowing wells causes a slight sputtering denoting the presence of a gaseous substance. The party spent the day pleasantly at the beach returning home in the evening.
The German-American Bank this week increased its capital stock to $30,000, the original amount having been subscribed $5,000. A site for the new bank will probably be selected at the first meeting of directors which will be held within a few days.

Here is the little scarf that we have found such a useful addition to the motor wardrobe, when almost every dress has short sleeves or is made without any sleeves at all. There are times when one is quite warm enough everywhere but across the shoulders and arms. One adds the little jacket to match the dress but hesitates about putting on a coat.
To fit a girl of average proportions you will need a strip of silk or lightweight wool jersey fifty inches long and thirteen and a half inches wide. You may use a piece half as long and piece it in the middle if you like.
Carefully hem the material on the four sides and arrange buttons and buttonholes at the ends as shown in the diagram, taking care that the buttons appear at one side on one end and at the other side on the other end.
When you pack or carry the scarf it should be unbuttoned. When you put it on to keep your arms warm it should be buttoned. If you want protection for the throat and chest, wrap the scarf round the neck like a stock collar and then button one set of buttons and the buttonholes on the other end so that it forms a sort of high vest in the frint.

Guardian of the Family
"My father, who is past 75, shares our bottle of Syrup Pepsin with his little great-granddaughter aged three. And when I feel constipated, with headache and biliousness, I also get my share of Syrup Pepsin. We would as soon think of being without salt and sugar as not to have a bottle of Dr. Caldwell's Syrup Pepsin in the house." (Name and address will be furnished upon request)
Constipation Always a Danger
"Always something," says mother. "Biliousness, sour stomach, headache, colds, fevers—you never know when or what." Syrup Pepsin is mother's safeguard. Sweetens stomach, moves bowels; children recover like magic. No wonder mothers everywhere know and trust Dr. Caldwell's Syrup Pepsin. It is the guardian of the family's health. Sweet, sinny—children and old people love it. Mild, yet thorough in action. Sudden colds, fevers, headache—conditions responsible for nearly all disease—a dore of Syrup Pepsin and all fear is gone. Once in the home every mother says—"I keep it always on hand." Every druggist sells Dr. Caldwell's Syrup Pepsin.
