When the officers broke down the door of an outhouse, they reported they found three men working at three stills of 100-gallon capacity each. All were going full blast. In an adjoining room were found 102 barrels of mash. The stills were of expert make, each set on a concrete base and fed by oil burners. Called to San Diego By Death of Mother Mr. and Mrs. Frank J.

W. Sloop, president of the Grammar school board. The building is designed by M. Eugene Druice, the well known Anaheim architect. It will be located in front of the present Junior High School and will be in the form of an addition to the present building. The new front will be a decided addition to the appearance of the west end of town and will keep pace with the rapid development of schools in Anaheim and So. Calif. There are to be nine class rooms in the building besides the office and rest room, and four toilet rooms. The front of the building will be very much like the front of the new Junior High School in Redlands, but the Anaheim school will have an added artistic appearance. The architecture is to be of a modified Spanish style, finished in tan stucco, relieved by face brick and terra cotta. The work will be done by the day, under the supervision of Mr. Walter Hansen of Anaheim. It is the purpose of the board to make a building of which the community may be proud and to give the community full value for every dollar expended. The five up-stairs rooms will be used for fifth and sixth grade pupils until the space is needed for use of the departmental work. The present enrollment of the seventh and eighth grades has increased until there are classes having more than fifty pupils. This condition will be relieved by the present addition. The present school board has built four small buildings by day labor in the last two years and the proportional saving will be made in the present new building on a larger scale. The building will be unique in that no bond issue will be required, economical administration of the schools having enabled the assembly of $50,000 for this purpose. Absence of the necessity for bonds will mean a saving of at least 50 percent to taxpayers, it is estimated.

An Appeal To Business and Professional Men Anaheim stores are now well filled with spring time apparel. It is doubtful if there has ever been a spring season in Anaheim when the needs of the people have been so well taken care of and anticipated as this spring. The business houses of all kinds in Anaheim are constantly making shopping more and more a delight, rather than a task. So much for that. Business and professional men, employees in the various stores and all places of business who are in the habit of parking their cars in front of their stories during the day can very materially aid Easter shopping and in general for the next two weeks, and render a decided courtesy to the many who come down town and from out of town in their cars to do their shopping. Instead of parking in the retail business district, professional men, proprietors, employee, etc., of the various stores and business houses could park a block or possibly two blocks farther out. This small inconvenience on the part of car holders so affected will give shoppers an opportunity to park their cars in close proximity to the stores they wish to visit.
