Victor, superintendent, who admitted that the road will be completed to the Temescal wash by the 1st of next January after which point their plans are indefinite.

conceived action be taken upon the officials to build along a route that would directly benefit the town and its suburbs. Mr. H. C. Kellogg gave a sketch of the topographical features of the country. He was followed by Mr. S. B. Smith who spoke in the same vein. Mr. J. D. Sorenson said that a proposition had been made to the company to build their road along the foothills through Orange and Santa Ana to Newport. He favored a route to the beach at Bolsa Chica where a wharf 1000 feet long running out to a depth of 22 feet at low tide could be built for $42,000. A resolution was adopted declaring the good will of the people towards a competing railroad and pledging a right of way and depot grounds without cost to the railroad if the road is built through the district known as North Anaheim, and through the town of Anaheim.
A committee was appointed consisting of Messrs. Kenyon Cox, R. J. Northam and Richard Melrose to take up the matter with the railroad officials.

ONE 5c SPOOL OF THREAD... COSTS MORE THAN HOT WATER
24 HOURS A DAY!
It costs less than a nickel a day (and all night included) to have a never-failing supply of hot water ready to spout from every faucet in the average Southern California home—that is, if you use an automatic gas water heater.
Heating water automatically with Natural Gas saves two dollars out of three every minute, compared with the cost of any other modern method.
And the reason is that Southern California Natural Gas is efficient as well as inexpensive—it goes to work instantly! It delivers more heat units per minute, with no time and money wasted in "warming up." You'll appreciate this quick heating when two or three people in the family have used hot water for long shower baths—and you're next.
Any dealer, or the Gas Company, will gladly tell you all about the new low terms on gas appliances.
