The howl of the coyote is heard at night in the vicinity of vineyards, and he is probably aware that grapes are ripe in some parts. A young vineyardist on Center street informs us that he saw several two-legged coyotes making nocturnal visits to the place of the night. On Thursday they reached the summit. They were provided with a large field glass and enjoyed a fine view for miles upon either side. The green band that makes the course of the Colorado, the winding course of the A. & P. road were plainly visible. The immense banks of snow just over the summit on the south side afforded them excellent snowballing which they enjoyed in good old eastern mid-winter style. They returned to Spring Hill on Friday tired but safe and happy. A disturbing accident occurred at Long Beach on Monday by which Eddie Wright, the 11-year-old son of Rev. Mr. Wright of Riverside met almost instant death. The little boy was playing along the beach near the pier, when a huge log was thrown up by the surf. It rolled upon the boy and crushed him. Assistance soon arrived but the injured boy died in about fifteen minutes. Two men who were under the influence of liquor, engaged in a high old fight on Monday evening, and one of the men was stabbed and otherwise bruised, but the other also received his share. The man who started the fight was arrested and lodged in jail where he remained but two hours when some person bailed him out. Judge Fox fined him $6.25 on Wednesday morning and his companion in the affray "made up" 25 Years Ago AUGUST 10, 1911 Owing to the increase $2,250.00 in the county's amount it seems probable that board of supervisors will increase the tax rate this year number of school districts applied for special tax Santa Ana's school board ask $8000 more than last year applications are: Santa Ana school,$25,000; Santa Ana Gramar,$20,000; Placentia,$850; lerton high school,$15,000; lerton Grammar,$1000; Hurton Beach,$800; Buena $500; Orange,$2400; Rand $500; Newport Beach $800; Habre,$700.

The howl of the coyote is heard at night in the vicinity of vineyards, and he is probably aware that grapes are ripe in some parts. A young vineyardist on Center street informs us that he saw several two-legged coyotes making nocturnal visits to the place of ripe grapes and pull off bunches of half-ripe fruit which they throw away if not satisfactory. He also says that teams stop by the wayside and the men enter the vineyards to return with an armful of grapes, wasting half of them as a matter of course. It will certainly be necessary to put a watchman on the lookout if this practice continues. Mr. D. W. C. Cowan and his two daughters, Mary and Estella, accompanied by Edwin and Tustin Clark, scaled the rugged heights of Old Baldy last week. They left Spring Hill on Wednesday morning and made the ascent as far as the mines on that day. Here the party camped for Considering how fine this railroad transportation is nowadays, you can't travel any cheaper. Fares lowest in history—substantial savings on round trip tickets. So why not take the train? It's safer. It's more dependable. You can't beat the improved travel comfort in coaches and sleeping cars. It's a good thing movies don't have such restful seats—most folks would sure fall asleep. Ever hear about the Free pick-up-and-delivery of less than carload freight? It's a great convenience to shippers and Two men who were under the influence of liquor, engaged in a high old fight on Monday evening, and one of the men was stabbed and otherwise bruised, but the other also received his share. The man who started the fight was arrested and lodged in jail where he remained but two hours when some person bailed him out. Judge Fox fined him $6.25 on Wednesday morning and his companion in the affray "made up" by paying $3 of the fine. Mr. Erwin Barr has presented us with a piece of petrified wood taken from the cliffs at Laguna Beach. There is a large petrified log plainly visible in these cliffs at a distance of forty-five feet from the summit. It would be an interesting calculation to "figer out" how long that log has been reposing in its rocky bed. Mrs. Wm. J. Smith who has had the painful influence of an encounter with a stingray recommended the application of hot ashes as the most speedy remedy. Still another wine cellar is to be built. This time it is in West Anaheim and Mr. Alex Henry is the builder. He made some excellent wine last year, which brought a good price and encouraged by his success he will go into the business largely this year. An Indian known in Anaheim by the name of "Cook," was recently released from a ninety days' term in the county jail.

Supterintendent Porter off water company while in town other day said there is less water in the river than at any time several years. The volume not exceed six heads coming this side, which is half of what amounted to ten days ago. Fall was due to the three hot last week, when the thermometer rose to about 100 degrees. He ever, since the return of co wheather he notes an increase in the stream and thinks by the end of the week the flow will be stored to its usual volume.

You can't beat the improved travel comfort in coaches and sleeping cars. It's a good thing movies don't have such restful seats—most folks would sure fall asleep. Ever hear about the Free pick-up-and-delivery of less than carload freight? It's a great convenience to shippers and receivers alike. Western railroads pick up at the door, ship by fast freight, and deliver to consignee's door. Railroad trains are running on faster schedules these days. Seems like the iron horse wants to show these new streamlined dieseles that he can step out, too. Both passenger and freight schedules have been speeded up. What's more, the railroads believe in "safety first." Last year not one passenger was killed in a train accident on western railroads. Talk to your local railroad agent. He's full of information about traveling and shipping. We are proud of railroad achievements, appreciate the public's good will and increased patronage, and pledge continued progress.

We who remember a generation or two past recall the large signs at every railroad crossing warning us to "Stop, Look, Listen." It is well now, when reading or hearing fake propaganda to stop and ponder—to ask ourselves, who are these people or organizations and what are their motives in spending money to disseminate a lot of word which will not bear close scrutiny. These remarks are called out by an article reviewing a 93-page booklet called "The Townsend Crusade," covering the report of a committee making a survey of the plan. This report is full of mistakes and false statements. I shall speak only of the first one given, which states that the combined yields of transaction taxes under the proposed McGroarty bill would have amounted to only $8,700,000,000 in 1934, or about enough to pay $30 a month to all those over 60 years of age. There is no question of the approximate amount of transactions in 1934. It is given from many sources at between $600,000,000,-000 and $700,000,000,000, slightly more than half the business of 1929. A school girl or boy can easily figure what 2 per cent on this amount would yield, and find Townsend Clubs Elect Officers Election of officer and reports from delegate to the national convention featured last Saturday's 19th congressional district convention of Townsend clubs at Santa Ana. New officers chosen were Ed Treftz, chairman, and Ralph Logsdon, secretary. Chosen to serve as congressional board members are F., L. Carrier, Santa Ana, J. H. Hinckley, Doheny Park, Judge George Sorkness, Hemet, Haskell Smith, Corona, Rev. S. L. Wingert, San Bernardino, H. O. Harwood, Monetone, and G. B. Decker, Chino. A Sheppard-for Congress mass meeting will be held tomorrow (Friday) night at the Greek theater in the Anaheim city park, according to plans being laid by J. H. Walsh, of Costa Mesa, chairman of the Orange county Harry R. Sheppard campaign committee. to point them out. It is reasonable to suppose that the Liberty Leaguer, the Pathfinder or their sponsors are spending their money to protect and keep the foolish and the old from being exploited, and humbugged. Whenever this shall come to pass we shall be broad enough to give them due credit. No doubt many who give this book a superficial onceover, will agree that a committee who have investigated and submitted their findings must necessarily know what they are talking about, this is not good reasoning. Let us do A. F. PARRA project was started he was given a position as playground director, but left that soon after to accept a position with an independent oil company at Santa Fe Springs. At the present time Parra is serving the Savanna School District as a member of the Board of Trustees. He is married and has two children. (Political Advertisement) Why You Should Vote to Nominate HARRY R. SHEPPARD (FOR CONGRESS) on the Democratic Ticket, at the Primary Election, August 25, 1936 I believe in National responsibility in behalf of our veterans and think they should have adequate pensions; and hospitalization for themselves and their dependents. I further believe that as a nation we should remain aloof from foreign entanglements, and more care should be given to international problems in order to effect greater measures of safety for the citizens of this country.
