TOWN IMAGE REVIEW BY OLD TIMER
AGAIN referring to the discussion of cats:
J. L. Van der Veer of the high school says a tramp cat has taken up his abode at the high school, apparently seeking an education.
"And the most interesting part of it," says Professor Van der Veer, "is that he has taken up his permanent abode on the dictionary in the study hall. He just doesn't seem contented anywhere else."
WHAT'S going to be the opening day's attendance at Anaheim grammar schools when they reopen in a few days?
The average daily attendance last year was 1263 and the total enrollment ran over 1600 while the opening attendance was 1160.
Supt. C. C. Smith is conservative. He says it will be just 1253. I don't know how he can be so definite about it unless he tabulates the figures from the different buildings.
Principal W. C. Maxwell is more optimistic. He says there will be an increase of at least 20 per cent.
THE hotel clerk's job consists of something more than just above a register to a prospective guest and having him sign. He must know his man, saye J. W. Cropp of the Valencia hotel. If the clerk offers a cheap room to a man accustomed to an expensive one, he will lose his guest, and the same thing will happen vice versa with a guest who can't afford a top price room.
More folks are coming to Anaheim, including traveling salesmen, whose vacations appear to be over, and tourists, who come here with their families, inquiring for houses.

MYSTERY
Bradley Acknowledges He Was Wounded at Home of Movie Actress
LOS ANGELES, Aug. 22.—Renewed efforts were made today to solve the mysterious wounding of C. Goodwin Bradley, said to be the son of a New York millionaire, by an unseen assailant on the night of June 5, while he was at the home of Sigrid Holmquist, film actress.
In acquowledging he was the man wounded at the Holmquist home, Bradley admitted that the shot was the second fired at him from ambush within a few months. He said that in May he was fired on late one night while returning to the home of A. R. Peck, with whom he was associated in a chemical company operating at Anaheim.
Before the first attempt on his life, Bradley said a member of a bootleg ring approached him concerning the purchase of 500 gallons of alcohol.
The bootlegger was later arrested and fined $5,000.
Bradley said that on the night of the last shooting he and Miss Holmquist were on the porch of her residence during a dancing party when a shot grazed his wrist, inflicting a slight wound.
Bradley's theory of the shooting tended to discredit the belief that the shot was fired at Miss Holmquist who had been mistaken for Mary Miles Minter.
HARLAND PROMISES TWO-CENT GAS DROP
At the Harland service station at Center and Kroeger streets it was announced today that the price would drop two cents before night. This station has been selling gasoline at 15 1-2 cents.
Further confusion was introduced into the gas price situation in Los Angeles, when the Shell Co., following a sensational offering of the fluid at six cents by a station at 108th and Main streets put gas on sale at 14 1-2 cents, half a cent lower. Miscellaneous stations also cut prices, which were reported to be ranging from six cents up.
No instructions had been received here today regarding the collection of the expected two cents additional per gallon to cover the gas tax effective September 1. It is anticipated

Now it's on account of that barn and toolhouse being erected in the city park at the head of Clementine-st.
"First, they stuck a rest room at the main entrance on Lemon-st, then an auto camp ground on the Palm-st side and now a common, ordinary stable at the principal gateway from Center-st," says George.
"I wouldn't have been so bad if they had put it at an alley intersection, but they had to shove it right out there in plain view. It sure will take a lot of roses to cover it up. I don't see why they didn't put the sewer farm there, too. We could have had a civic center and saved a lot of money."
"I don't know what's eating George but I've an idea that barn shuts off the view from the Hamler front porch of the bathing girls at the new plunge.
IT WILL be interesting to the younger generation of Anaheim to learn that one of the first schools in the town was housed in the one and one-half story building standing east of the Christian tabernacle. Rev. Roberte, Prebyterian missionary and Civil War veteran, and Mrs. Roberta, had a large building remodeled, T. S. Grimshaw doing the carpenter work. One side of the house contained the parlor and office and the south side, the school room. The living rooms were upstairs.
Rev. Roberts sent to an Indian reservation for 35 full-blood Indian girls which were brought here and taught the elementary studies, also sewing, housework, and in a kitchen nearby instruction in cooking was given by a special teacher.
Rev. Roberts bought the large lot on which the tabernacle stand, built a huge barracks. The two rooms accommodated two girls each. This building formed an "el" to the school building. The school was conducted about three years.
After the death of Rev. Roberts and the separation of the family thru marriage, death, and other causes, Mrs. Roberts sold the place, and one half of it was used in the big barn on the same lot. The other half was remodeled and yet stands.
Rev. and Mrs. Roberts both sleep in the Anaheim cemetery, but to their credit is the memory of their Americanization work in the simple manner of the times.
Further confusion was introduced into the gas price situation in Los Angeles, when the Shell Co., following a sensational offering of the fluid at six cents by a station at 10:38h and Main streets put gas on sale at 14 1-2 cents, half a cent lower. Miscellaneous stations also cut prices, which were reported to be ranging from six cents up.
No instructions had been received here today regarding the collection of the expected two cents additional per gallon to cover the gas tax effective September 1. It is anticipated that all of the companies will merely add two cents to the regular price.
Ventura gasoline is selling at 15 1-2 cents and has for two weeks, it was announced this morning at the Lee's Service Station in protest against press reports that Ventura was selling at this rate only when books are purchased. No Ventura books are being sold it is said...
POMONA SERVICE STATION ROBBED
POMONA. Aug. 28.-Three unmasked bandits early today robbed and kidnapped L. T. Hampe, Shell Oil Co., filling station attendant here.
Some time after midnight, while Hampe was painting a fence about the station, three men appeared and said they wished to buy some oil. As Hampe turned to fill their order he found himself staring into a revolver. After directing him to open the cash register the bandits forced Hampe into the machine and started toward Los Angeles.
After reaching an outlying town, the bandits released Hampe and gave him 50c.
The robbery netted the bandits about $30.
TRUCK DRIVER HERO
If "Bud" Anderson hadn't had the courage to jump upon his truck while it was ablaze and drive away last night from the Standard Oil station at Olive, the station might have been blown up and several persons killed. Both truck and the trailer attached to it were loaded with hay. The truck's tank was being filled and the vehicle was so hot that it ignited the gasoline. The truck was destroyed but the trailer was saved.

FRUIT SHIP CO. PRESENTED GROWERS
So much interest has been taken in the recently organized California-New York Steamship Co. by the citrus growers of Orange-co that it was deemed advisable, by the officials of the refrigerated transportation organization, to gather the representatives of the different citrus exchanges for the purpose of a conference which will be held Friday noon, at a luncheon at St. Ann's Inn, Santa Ana.
Officials of the steamship company and several of the directors will be present to discuss with the growers and exchange managers present the plans of organization and various other problems in connection with the inauguration and operation of the fleet of seven modern steamships which will transport citrus fruits and other perishable products from Los Angeles Harbor to the Atlantic Coast seaboard.
Mr. A. P. Hammond, general manager of the California-New York Steamship Co., who for a number of years has been in charge of the Luckenbach Steamship Co. on the Pacific Coast, will explain the method of operation of the ships, as well as discussing the cold air type of refrigeration used to maintain the high standard of California citrus fruits during the course of transportation to the Atlantic Coast.
LEASES
Scores of Scouts Taking Up Lands on All Sides of Anaheim
The Standard Oil Co., is retaining its leases in Garden Grove where some time back it tried to bring in a well on acreage it held, according to a man who has kept in close touch with geologists and others of many of the companies. It is paying bonuses on acreage there in various fields about Anaheim altho it will not drill until it has to.
This interesting piece of information, coupled with apparently authentic reports that the acreage about Anaheim was being extended and that more and more companies, big and little were making offers for leases are the latest developments of the situation hereabouts. The Honolulu Oil Co., for example, with operators in the Kern County field are well known, is said now to be offering $50 an acre bonus in the territory north of the Olive road.
The Holly Sugar Co., which took up leases at Huntington Beach several months ago, is said to be seeking acreage in the territory about North and Placentia avenues.
Leasing of land at Brookhurst station and near Hannon Station continues.
In fact, Anaheim is being girdled with leases by various oil companies, and rarely have so many oil men been seen here.

Standard Expected to Spud in Well on Wagner Lease September 3rd
Anticipating the development of an extensive oil field southeast of Anaheim, the Southern Counties Gas Co. is rushing to completion a six-inch pipe line south of Placentia-ave.
"This line will be sufficient to supply fuel for the whole field," was the statement today of J. C. Hayden, Orange-co. superintendent for the gas company.
"The six-inch line is being extended south on Placentia-ave, for 2500 feet. It will be ready within a few days to hook up with the Standard test well on the Wagner lease, which will spud in Sept. 3.
Hayden says the gas company is anxious to see another gas field opened up in Orange-co.
"Three years ago we were getting 80,000,000 feet of gas daily from the Placentia field," says Hayden.
"Today we are getting only 14,000,000. However, this is a steady flow which will probably be maintained for some time."
Brea field contributes eight million and has for six years. Most of the gas used in Orange-co. now comes from Santa Fe Springs via a ten-inch line through Brea.

The management of the United Theatre is to be congratulated for bringing to the people of Anaheim such a wonderful opportunity to hear the very best in organ music. Their aim is to give the best that can be obtained at all times and with the combination of this splendid new organ and clean pictures their theatre should be packed every night.
FREIGHTER FLOATS
SEATTLE, Aug. 22.-Losing her bearings in the fog early today, the steamer Chicksaw City of the Isthmian line, grounded near Port Angel and was floated at 9 a.m. six hours after the mishap.
The Chicksaw City is a freighter of 10,000 tons in command of Captain G. W. Lucas. No damage was done by the accident.
REPORT ACCIDENT
An accident was reported to the local police yesterday from Philadelphia and Center streets where a car owned by Mrs. R. N. Allen, of near Anaheim, ran into the rear of a truck owned by Sparks and McClellan of Anaheim, damaging the Allen car. No one was injured.
LEGION INITIATES
The regular meeting of the American Legion was held last night. There were about 50 in attendance. Refreshments were served. Four members were initiated: Barney Stoffel, Dr. Newkirk, George Maas, and E. N. Hester.
LIGHT PETITIONS
Five workers' squads have handed in their petitions, containing enough signatures to put over electric lighting standards on the streets represented and now the city officials have requested the committee of the local chamber, having this work in charge, to get the remaining petitions before the city council not later than Sept. 5, so that Anaheim may have adequate lighting along the main thoroughfares before the winter season sets in.
To that end, Chairman Lamb is getting out letters today asking that captains and their workers endeavor to finish their allotments by the 5th. He believes that many of them are nearly finished and that a final campaign for further signatures should not take over a few hours intensive work.
There are still many frontage owners on the streets to be affected, who have not been located, might assist by calling on the person doing the work, and signing up. The work in the present "wind-up" campaign is being done free by some of the busiest men in Orange co. Anyone wishing to sign can get full information by calling 665, the chamber's telephone number.
