There they took a steamer for Aspinwall, a town on the Isthmus located near the mouth of the present Panama canal, where they boarded a primitive train which carried them across the Isthmus to the city of Panama. From thenence a small steamer carried them to San Francisco. Having encountered heavy storms the boat was late and they were compelled to stay in the city for some time before they could come south. This gave an opportunity to find out a little about the new country they were coming to and enabled them to lay in a store of supplies that could not be obtained here. A small steamer brought them to San Pedro but the landing was finally made at Wilmington. All their freight and baggage was landed at Anaheim Landing by means of lighters. They arrived in Anaheim Nov. 8, 1867, and settled on the tract of land long known as the Kraemer ranch, upon which the town of Placentia now stands. They were the first white family to settle outside the willow hedge enclosure which protected the Mother colony.

SANTA BARBARA, Oct. 29.—Twenty five thousand years ago, when the world was filled with great, crawling reptiles, man won the battle for survivorship on the North American continent and settled upon the coast of So. Calif. This fact has been definitely established, according to the belief of H. J. Harrington of the Smithsonian institution in charge of excavations here during which human skulls and relics of a hitherto unknown age have been brought to light. With this discovery all former theories held by scientists as to the first appearance of man upon the American continent are proved incorrect by 15 thousand years or more, Dr. Harrington believes. The early Santa Barbara man was older than the Neanderthal species of European and lived before the low-browed Java ape man ranged the valleys of Asia. The famous Heldeberg man was a contemporary man of the early California type, according to Dr. Harrington. The discovery of the skulls here, Dr. Harrington stated today will bring about a complete revision of the theory that primitive man first came to North America from Asia across Bebring Straits 10,000 years ago and then worked south. The discoveries in the newly opened excavations point to a civilization 15,000 years earlier than this when dinosaurs and winged serpents inhabited the oozy mud flats that steamed in the heat and gloom of the days before history began. Deep interest in the discoveries by Harrington are expressed by scientists in all parts of the country and Dr. J. Walter Fewkes, head of the Smithsonian Institute, has wired for a complete report of the activity. Dairyman Says Director Wanted Him to Haul Dope From Hospital By WILLIAM K. HUTCHINSON I. N. S. Staff Correspondent WASHINGTON, Oct. 29.—A new sensation was sprung in the senatorial investigation of the United States veterans' bureau. LOWER COST FOR LIGHT SYSTEM The likelihood of improved lighting facilities in Anaheim was brighter today, with the announcement by Secretary Geo. W. Reid of the C. of C. that $1.20 to $1.50 per foot of frontage was the estimated cost and only 51 per cent of the signatures was required, subject to approval of the city fathers. Two dollars per front foot is the sum that has been mentioned, but that is the maximum. As a matter of fact, Fullerton for example paid only the cheaper sums. The city council, for whom the work of getting the signatures is being done by the chamber, wants as large a proportion of the signatures as possible to be obtained, but does not demand the full 100 per cent. The lighting facilities, of which the standards are the principal item, would be paid for by a bond issue, so that the owner of a 59-foot lot could have his payment stretched out if necessary over 10 years. There are four districts still holding out on Cliff Lamb, chairman of the committee, but the work of installing the lights can go ahead in any section which is in favor. GEOLOGIST ROSY TO AID FARMERS DENVER, Oct. 29 — Eugene Myer, Jr., managing director of the war finance corporation, and former congressman Frank Mondell, a director of the corporation, are in Denver today to inquire into conditions affecting wheat growers, and to promote development of co-operative marketing of wheat through associations of farmers.

WIND UP SEASON Chapman packing house of Fullerton expects to finish the orange season this week, and the Dairyman Says Director Wanted Him to Haul Dope From Hospital By WILLIAM K. HUTCHINSON I. N. S. Staff Correspondent WASHINGTON, Oct. 29 — A new sensation was sprung in the senatorial investigation of the United States veterans' bureau this morning. James N. Williams, a Philadelphia dairyman, testified that Colonel Charles R. Forbes, former director, who is under fire, ap-proached him some time ago with proposition to supply milk to the government hospital at Perryville, Md., and suggested that he Forbes, "could make it interesting" for the dairyman if he would permit his milk wagons to carry drugs and narcotics away from the hospital. Williams is president of the Turner & West Side creameries in Philadelphia. He said Colonel Forbes came to his home with Ellas R. Mortimer, who last week declared on the witness stand that Forbes told him they could "clean up" thru the disposal of the vast narcotics which the government stored at the Perryville institution. Williams said Forbes and Mortimer came to talk about a milk contract for the Perryville Hospital. "Forbes had been talking about drugs and narcotics," Williams said.

Dr. R. F. Souther, a Boston physician, who was employed by the committee to investigate compensation payments, testified that his discovery revealed widespread "dishonest and illegal" compensation to veterans. Much of this he attributed to "pressure" brot upon the bureau by outsiders, notable congressmen, who insisted upon their constituents being well taken care of. Colonel Caarles R. Forbes, former director of the bureau, was an intent spectator at the proceedings today.
