50 Years Ago Dec. 8, 1887 The contract for the superstructure of the Hotel Del Campo has at last been let, and work will now be commenced in earnest. Mossrs. Albrecht Bros. have secured the contract and will push operations with all speed. The hotel will be an ornament as well as a great convenience to our town and will mark an era of prosperity which will be hailed with pleasure by all. With the completion of the edifice we shall see such an incoming tide of immigration here as was probably never seen before. The hotel is an improvement which should have been carried into effect long ago. Now that it is placed in the hands of competent contractors and is designed to be completed at an early day, Anahorm will take a decided step in advancing to a position of prominence in Southern California. A party of thirty gentlemen arrived from Los Angeles yesterday for the purpose of inspecting the new town of Carlton, lately established on the Richfield farm. Under the guidance of Hudson Bros., they were driven to Carlton where they were so pleased with the location and prospects of the place that over $6000 worth of lots were sold to them. The Richfield Farm tract is one of the most valuable in the county and is rapidly attracting widespread attention. Boege, Annie Boege, Louis Kroeger. Second department—E.

Another fact of great importance to Orange County is the decision its deposit accounts total thetering sum of $92,926.09. That a handsome showing for this financial institution which has completed the first half year of existence. President Eygalt and his associates rank with leading solid men of the community and are to be congratulated upon their splendid showing. Rectors of this bank are Chas. Gabroad, V. U. Simpson, Geo Hamler, Cashier F. C. Kraus. Lawrence Boldt of San Francisco and his sisters, Mrs. Gu Heimman and Mrs. Sorenson of Angeles, and the latter's son Sorenson, were in town some ago visiting friends. Morris Smith was in town his Orangethorpe ranch on Saturday afternoon. Arthur Coons is improving shining hour by assisting Jo Helmsen at his stationery before and after school. A is a bright boy and we are be on him to the last dollar. Miss Minnie Porter, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. B. F. Port Orangethorpe avenue, was arrested on Tuesday afternoon at parents' residence to Mr. ence Beckett of Los Angeles. F. R. Holcomb of Fullerton formed the ceremony. The young couple will reside in Angeles where the groom business. A party of thirty gentlemen arrived from Los Angeles yesterday for the purpose of inspecting the new town of Carlton, lately established on the Richfield farm. Under the guidance of Hudson Bros., they were driven to Carlton where they were so pleased with the location and prospects of the place that over $6000 worth of lots were sold to them. The Richfield Farm tract is one of the most valuable in the county and is rapidly attracting widespread attention. Mrs. Meta Bremerman, who was so seriously injured last week expired on last Saturday. Mrs. Bremerman's death will leave a void in Anaheim which cannot be filled. She was an old time resident and was loved and respected by all who knew her. Miss Kate Bremerman arrivad from Boston on Sunday evening in response to a telegram sent her at the time of the accident. Mr. F. Conrad has purchased the boiler and other material from the New York Brewery in Los Angeles, which is shortly to go out of business. He will add his purchases to his extensive brewing establishment in Anaheim, and keep right along brewing the most elegant beer in California. On Saturday evening as Pigott's express, loaded with passengers, was returning from the Southern Pacific depot, the hind axle was broken, precipitating several of the occupants to the ground. No serious injuries occurred. Two Indians amused themselves on Monday evening by fighting on the street, when all at once Constable Smythe hove in sight and assisted by Chief-of-Police Northam and his new plug hat, escorted them to jail. The Board of Town Trustees met in adjourned session yesterday afternoon: present Messrs. Cahen, Kroeger, Backs and Clerk Nebelung. Report of treasurer showing a balance of $11.83 was read. Mr. Sidney Holman appeared and estimated the cost of grading of Walnut street, not including the fill next to the railroad tract, at about $75. Referred to committee on public improvements. Resignation of Fred C. Smythe as town marshal was read and accepted. City Engineer Steward was in Los Angeles yesterday conferring with officials of the State Highway Commission relatives to the character of paving desired on Los Angeles street. Mr. Steward is of the opinion that paving on this thoroughfare should be of a more substantial character than on other residence streets, for the reason that heavy traffic will pass over it when the state highway is opened to travel through this city. He is busily engaged in preparing data and specifications for paving city streets and the city trustees will probably take the matter up at an early date. Next Sunday at 7:30 p.m., the pastor of the M. E. church, the Rev. C. H. Sutherland, will preach a special sermon to young men upon the subject, "How Kelly won the race." Mr. Kelly, who resides in Orange, brought not only glory to himself, but honor to his university by winning the world's championship in the Olympian games at Stockholm. On his return the University of Southern California tendered him a most enthusiastic reception. Mr. Sutherland was present at the reception when several of the most prominent men in Los Angeles made remarks. Miss Sutherland, a student at the College of Music will pass through Fullerton and this city along the route originally selected by the state highway commission, and that no mandamus proceedings will be brought by the Coast Boulevard association, which recently sought to divert the road along the coast line, was the result of a meeting held between a committee of coast liners and the state highway commission at Sacramento some days ago. Another fact of great importance to Orange County is the decision of the State Highway Commission to continue the state highway from San Diego to Imperial and thence to Yuma. This insures the ocean-to-ocean highway passing through this county. Construction of the road from San Diego to Yuma indicates the ocean-to-ocean highway will proceed along that line and will pass through this county. This is of signal advantage to us, second only to the coming of the state highway. Engineer Clark, who surveyed the state highway through this city some weeks ago, is now surveying the line from San Diego to the Arizona boundary. Horace Head to Lead Democracy Coming as the climax of a meeting of Orange county Democratic assembly in Fullerton day night, Horace Head was asked to replace Chester Dale chairman of the group. The election followed the adoption of amendment to the by-laws ceded for annual elections with their election to be held immediately. Reelected secretary was M. E. Greeting, who had been center of an earlier debate after meeting. One faction had to remove her from office. Other officers chosen Claude Pullem of Corona Delight vice chairman; Lloyd S. W. of Fullerton, second vice chair; man; and Harry Bell, treasurer Bell was reelected. Peirson Hall, candidate for emeror on the Democratic ticket was a speaker at the meeting. A Maori village, complete every respect, may be transported from New Zealand to San Francisco for the 1939 World's Fair. Report of treasurer showing a balance of $11.83 was read. Mr. Sidney Holman appeared and estimated the cost of grading of Walnut street, not including the fill next to the railroad tract, at about $75. Referred to committee on public improvements. Resignation of Fred C. Smythe as town marshal was read and accepted. B. F. Portar has teams engaged on the hotel tract grading the streets for which he has the contract. While trimming trees on the tract on Tuesday W. W. Weaver met with a serious accident inflicting an ugly wound three inches above the ankle. Hudson Bros. have sold lots 7, 8, 9 and 10 in the Santa Fe tract tract to J. L. Mickel of Kansas for $500. The purchaser will erect a residence and move his family here as soon as it is finished. Work is being rapidly pushed on the water company's large reservoir in the Kraemer tract. It is said that oil from Puente will be piped to Buena Park and a large refinery built there.

Occasionally somebody finds something in a text book which he fears is intended to further the cause of some "ism." There has been no fault found openly of late in Orange county, except in the case of Santa Ana where the material in one set of reference books commonly used in the schools is pointed to as favoring socialism as against the republican form of government. At times past an occasional objection has been voiced to statements or attitudes shown by one or another teacher, usually in a high school or junior college. In the case of the books in question, it has been found that the author (Rugg) has allowed his teachings of fact to be overshadowed by his opinions, but this particular set of books has been adjudged too difficult for study by young pupils anyway. As a matter of fact, most of the cases of alleged "radicalism" in teaching, when traced back to their source, seem to be a case of a teacher voicing an opinion and failing to make clear that it is only a personal opinion. The more conservative critics point out that territory in the old district. A year or so ago, some statements and comments which do not hit point that has been made looked is that the matter elementary district that area is in makes a different high school district it is. Linda is in the Fullerton high school district, w centia has a high school of its own. And so the real dispute to be over which one sets taxes from about $6,000 of assessed valuation, authorities of the Fullerton school district have no in picture openly. I school auditor, let our statement last week we cted that the Fullerton Minnie Porter, daughter of Mrs. B. F. Porter of Gegethorpe avenue, was married Tuesday afternoon at her parents' residence to Mr. Clar-Beckett of Los Angeles. Rev. Holcomb of Fullerton perfected the ceremony. The happy couple will reside in Los Angeles where the groom is in business. P. Quarton is in the central of the state on a land seek-visit. Kroeger is confined to his wife with an attack of mumps, has been seriously ill but is moving and will soon be out. Baker, one of the proxus residents of Stanton, was on Saturday afternoon. Fischle, local candy man, was a business visitor in Angeles yesterday. Wallop was a busi-visitor in Los Angeles day. Head to Lead Democrats Climing as the climax of hectic ringing of Orange county Demo-c assembly in Fullerton Mon-night, Horace Head was electe-to replace Chester Dale as man of the group. The elec-followed the adoption of an amendment to the by-laws calling annual elections with the first option to be held immediately. Selected secretary was Mrs. Greeting, who had been the leader of an earlier debate at the time. One faction had sought to move her from office. Officers chosen were De Pullem of Corona Del Mar, vice chairman; Lloyd S. Verry Fullerton, second vice chair- and Harry Bell, treasurer, was re-elected. Hall, candidate for governor on the Democratic ticket, a speaker at the meeting. Maori village, complete in respect, may be transported New Zealand to San Fran-fer for the 1939 World's Fair.

Governor will Join Sacramento Shrine To participate in the induction of Governor Frank Merriam into the mysteries of the Ancient Order of Nobles of the Mystic Shrine for North America, six special trains of southern California nobles will leave tomorrow for Sacramento. Governor Merriam received his final Knight Templar degrees at Long Beach last week, which qualifies him to become a candidate for the Shrine, potentate Lawrence Cobb of Al Malaikah announced. The governor will affiliate with Ben Ali Temple of Sacramento. As a matter of fact, most of cases of alleged "radicalism" in teaching, when traced back to their source, seem to be a case of a teacher voicing an opinion and failing to make clear that it is only a personal opinion. The more conservative critics point out that what is necessary is for the teacher to confline himself to a statement of facts and views on all sides of a question, without indicating his own convictions on any side. At least; he should refrain from emphasizing his opinions, or trying to influence pupils through expression of them. The place to draw the line, the careful critics declare is between teaching and propaganda. In Orange county there has not been much concern over this appearance of radicalism in public school reading or instruction. However, it is authentically reported that more and more of it has been showing up in the larger schools in Los Angeles county. There even is an organization of teachers whose views trend heavily to the left. How far they are pledged to go in teaching radicalism is not known, but some observers fear it goes much too far.

A year or so ago, on petition of some of the residents in that district, this territory was transferred from Placentia union district to Yorba Linda. Now a petition is before the board of supervisors to transfer it back again. In the meantime some of the pupils in the disputed territory which legally is in Yorba Linda have been attending Placentia school. Placentia busses haul them. Placentia claims the school patrons in Yorba asked for them. There have been some personal criminations and recriminations, some statements and counter statements which do not hitch but one point that has been mostly overlooked is that the matter of which elementary district the disputed area is in makes a difference what high school district it is in. Yorba Linda is in the Fullerton Union high school district, while Placentia has a high school district of its own. And so the real dispute appears to be over which one shall collect taxes from about $6,000,000 worth of assessed valuation. While the authorities of the Fullerton high school district have not appeared in the picture openly, Dan Henry, school auditor, let out a public statement last week which indicated that the Fullerton adminis- INSURANCE AND SAVINGS In 1900 only one person out of ten in the United States had a life insurance policy and only one in six had a savings account.

Most of the commentators seem to think Mr. West got his foot in it, but he usually has squirmed through such situations in the past without serious trouble. Little talk in support of West is heard. Apparently both sides are willing to toss the matter into the lap of the grand jury where it probably will expire, with nobody much damaged nor "vindicated." Mendenhall Heads Teachers' Meeting Dr. W. O. Mendenhall, president of Whittier college, has been announced as chairman of the annual fall meeting of the Association of Colleges and Universities of the Pacific Southwest, scheduled for December 17 as affiliate with the Institute of World Affairs to be held at the Beverly Hills hotel. Under the general theme "The College and Its Attitude Toward War and Pence," subject will include a critique of college programs, what institutions might do, and the philosophy of war and peace.
