THE CANNERY PROJECT. Enthusiastic Meeting to Discuss the Enterprise. Farmers' Club Hold the Most Largely Attended Meeting in the History of the Organization, at the Residence of M. L. Rogers on Monday Afternoon—Committees Appointed to Solicit Stock Subscriptions, and Another Meeting to be Held Next Week to Further Consider the Enterprise—The Liberal Offer of Mrs. Steley-Mr. Benhley of Fullerton Offers to Deed a Lot and Erect a House Thereupon if Located at Fullerton-Anabeim Fruit Growers Put Their Shoulders to the Wheel, and it Looks as Though We Shall Have the Cannery-Help Looked for from all the Deciduous Fruit Growers. The most gratifying as well as the most largely attended meeting of the Farmers' Club held in the history of that organization was that which assembled at the comfortable home of M. L. Rogers on East Center street on Monday afternoon. The subject of the establishment of a cannery was made the special order of discussion, and the interest evoked augured well for the successful consummation of the project. Committees were appointed to take in hand the matter of soliciting stock in the enterprise and for arranging another meeting at which the fruit-growers might be enabled to meet with Mr. J. J. Groom of Ontario, with whom correspondence has already been had with a view to interesting him in the establishment of the enterprise here. Unfortunately Mr. Groom could not be present at the meeting, having been taken ill at his home in Ontario, but the interest in the enterprise showed no lack of spirit or sign of abatement, and with the interposition of nothing unforeseen the establishment of a cannery seems assured in time to handle the crop of the present year. Mr. Geo. A. Hunter called the meeting to order, but the president, Mr. Cargill, coming in a moment later, that gentleman took the chair and presided during the deliberations of the afternoon. The report of the committee on cannery being called for, Mr. Rogers, of the committee, referred to his having entered into correspondence with Mr. Groom, who had been recommended to him by Prof. Sprague as exceptionally well fitted to assume control of a cannery, with that end in view. Mr. Groom's reply on the cannery project appeared in our last issue. Mr Rogers cured rent free; for if not, on that date he would come to the meeting prepared to donate a house and lot to the association for canning purposes free.[Applause.] Mr. Huntington, speaking upon scale matters, referred to the impossibility of having the orchards of small growers fumigated, and read a letter from Riverside showing that the Supervisors purchased a fumigating outfit at an expenditure of $600, which the county paid for; also purchasing three tons of fumigation materials at a cost of $1800. The cyanide and sulphuric acid were furnished growers at cost. Here the fumigators refuse to fumigate the small groves, preferring to keep themselves employed on the large groves, which take up their entire time. The small groves are therefore unfumigated, and remain breeding places for scale to go forth and settle upon the clean trees in the fumigated orchards. The only way to get at these small groves is to follow Riverside's example and petition the Supervisors to provide a fumigating outfit and place it at the disposal of the Horticultural Commissioners. Mr. Huntington referred to the Van Dyke decision upon the constitutionality of the horticultural commissioners' act, commenting upon it with judgment and foresight. Mr. Fay said that it was necessary to take some steps to procure such an outfit to cover the small orchards in order to keep the large orchards clean. He considered it a proper matter to submit to a committee to be appointed to lay the subject before the Supervisors and ask an appropriation for the purchase of such fumigating outfits as the necessity of the case demanded. Mr. Cargill suggested that the club act in consonance with the farmers' club to be organized at Fullerton, and that both clubs appear before the Supervisors in near future and lay the matter before them. Mr. Parker said it was time the county was taking action in the matter. He was paying out $700 to $800 a year for fumigating his trees, while others near him did not fumigate and their places were breeding places for scale that preyed upon him. After a further discussion the subject went over until the organization of the Fullerton club, when committees from both clubs will go to Santa Ana and lay the matter before the Supervisors. Mr. Fay exhibited specimens of the orange worm moth, which engaged general interest. Mrs. Chas. Rogers, assisted by Mrs. C. G. McKinley, served refreshments, after discussing which and adopting a vote of thanks for Mr. and Mrs. Rogers' hospitality, the meeting adjourned to meet at Mr. Cargill's ranch at Brookshurst the last Monday in March. MONDAY IS THE DAY.

result we suppose, of extreme wetness. However, if that is all there is recommendable medicine in Southern California this year, we opine there will be little of it taken, and in small doses at that. Evangelistic services will begin at this Christian Church next Sunday at 11 a.m., to continue through the week and longer. The meetings will be conducted by Elder T.N.Kincaid of Los Angeles. Mr. Kincaid is an experienced evangelist, and all its services will be full of interest. He has had re The report of the committee on cannery being called for, Mr. Rogers, of the committee, referred to his having entered into correspondence with Mr. Groom, who had been recommended to him by Prof. Sprague as exceptionally well fitted to assume control of a cannery, with that end in view. Mr. Groom's reply on the cannery project appeared in our last issue. Mr. Rogers had written him inviting him to be present at the meeting, but had just received a letter from him saying that owing to illness it was quite impossible for him to be present. Mr. Rogers stated that Mr. Groom was probably the most thoroughly informed man in California on canneries, and had expressed a willingness to take hold of the enterprise here and assist in making it a success. He regretted the absence of the gentleman, as people were present who would like to ask him questions and get at the groundwork of the enterprise. The discussion was participated in by Messrs. Nebelung, Cargill, Whitaker, Fay, Eyman and Neff, the consensus of opinion being that a sufficient amount of deciduous fruit could be obtained to supply the wants of a cannery. Mr. Benchley said that he was glad to see that a subject so closely connected with the prosperity of the county had called out such an excellent meeting. He was glad the people of Anaheim had inaugurated the cannery project and he believed there existed public interest here sufficient to guarantee its success. Two years ago a canvass of the deciduous fruit growers of Fullerton and vicinity and Anaheim had been made to determine the amount of fruit available for a cannery, and it was ascertained that 500 tons could be depended upon as the minimum amount, with probably 1000 tons in two or three years. While personally he would naturally favor Fullerton as a site for the cannery, perhaps Anaheim was a more central location, as it would draw from Orange and Tustin on the south as well as from the nearer localities hereabout. But he did not care where the cannery was located; he wanted to see a cannery established—the sooner the better. It would cost the Fullerton growers but a little more to haul to Anaheim once they got their fruit loaded upon their wagon, and he was satisfied if a cannery were established here, the Fullerton growers would give it hearty support. He favored the inauguration of the enterprise right now; start your subscription lists; there ought to be no trouble in securing enough subscriptions at the meeting to guarantee the success of this great enterprise. He had no doubt that 2000 tons of apricots and peaches could be had for the cannery within a radius of a few miles from Anaheim this year. "If you try here and find you cannot succeed, I will guarantee you a deed for a lot and a house for a cannery at Fullerton." [Applause.] Mr. Cargill said the enterprise ought to be a go here. He had been informed that Mr. McNally of La Mirada would probably become interested in the cannery. Mr. Whitaker spoke of the benefits to accrue to the fruit growers by participating in the profits of the cannery. He drew rather a discouraging picture of the beet growers, who do not share in the profits of the factory, and who are paid the lowest price for their nery seems assured in time to handle the crop of the present year. Mr. Geo. A. Hunter called the meeting to order, but the president, Mr. Cargill, coming in a moment later, that gentleman took the chair and presided during the deliberations of the afternoon.

He favored the inauguration of the enterprise right now; start your subscription lists; there ought to be no trouble in securing enough subscriptions at the meeting to guarantee the success of this great enterprise. He had no doubt that 2000 tons of apricots and peaches could be bad for the cannery within a radius of a few miles from Anaheim this year. "If you try here and find you cannot succeed, I will guarantee you a deed for a lot and a house for a cannery at Fullerton." [Applause.] Mr. Richman of Fullerton being called on for an expression of opinion relative to the subject in hand said that wherever canneries were properly conducted, they proved to be good business investments. Orange county ought to have at least one cannery, as large quantities of deciduous fruits go to waste, or are dried to little profit. He thought a great deal of fruit could be secured for a cannery in the Fullerton district. After a further discussion a committee consisting of Messrs. Benchley, Fay and Dickel were appointed to correspond with Mr. Groom and secure his attendance here at another meeting to be called for some day next week. A second committee consisting of Messrs. Meyer, Eyman, Neff, Parker and Nebelung was appointed to solicit subscriptions to stock in the enterprise. Mr. Rogers referred to the liberal-spirited offer made by Mr. Meyer for Mrs. Steley, tendering the association the uses of a brick building on her place east of town for the purposes of a cannery, together with two acres of ground rent free, for two years. He suggested that the committee having in charge the soliciting of subscriptions to stock view this property and report upon its adaptability for cannery purposes; also other sites that may be offered, mentioning the brick warehouse on the Kossert property (formerly the Reiser place). Mr. Benchley said he hoped the committee would do good work and be ready to report at the next meeting the fact that a suitable house had been se- Alum baking powder is almost as strong as Schilling's Best.

They are commissioned to carefully go over the country, taking note of the best and most direct roads, mountain ranges, passes, streams and fords, and a map is being made of these topographical features. Lieut. Lacey has been employed on the work for the past two months. He began at San Diego, and coming up the coast, was met by Lieut. Powell at Fallbrook some two weeks ago. The party is equipped with a covered wagon, tents and cooking outfit, a heavy mule team and two saddle ponies, the latter being used by the officers in their work. The presence of two West Pointers in Santa Ana was not quite understood by many of the folks and some thought they were recruiting officers, who were in town for the purpose of enlisting soldiers to join the forces against La Espanola. While standing at the Santa Fe depot on Tuesday afternoon two gentlemen waiting for the afternoon San Diego train had their attention directed to the engineer of the north-bound freight that had just pulled in, who was wildly gesticulating with his hand and pointing to some object they knew not what, for their backs were turned upon one of the prettiest runaways ever seen in that neighborhood. The noise of the steam exhaust drowned the engineer's voice, and the men were quite at a loss to know what information he was endeavoring to impart to them. The engine's exhaust had frightened a horse hitched to a single buggy and tied to the hitching-post near the depot, and the horse, breaking rope with which it was tied, started across fields at a 2.40 gait. After the engineer had almost fallen out of his cab from exhaustion, waving his hand and calling out something indistinguishable in the noise while, the two men (the intelligence breaking upon them that the engineer was motioning to them) turned and beheld the runaway in all its glory. Near Nemetz's shop the runaway horse was caught and retied to the hitching-post, and shortly after the engine's exhaust ceased its steamy hiss and the laughing engineer said it was the funniest runaway he ever saw. Then the passenger train came in, in two men went south and the engineer pulled his freight for the north. (End of story about the runaway horse, Officers are on the lookout for D. S. Chamlee and Thomas Chamlee of Fullerton, who departed on Sunday with their goods and chattels for Oregon. A complaint against them, charging them with a misdemeanor in unlawfully concealing their creditors' property, has been sworn to by the Board of Trade of Los Angeles. The Chamlee brothers conducted a grocery store in Fullerton and two weeks ago were forced to file a petition of voluntary insolvency by the demands of creditors, of which the Board of Trade was heaviest. The petition was heard in the Superior Court on Friday, and the creditors elected an assignee to keep charge of the effects. The Chamlee brothers disregarded any authority which assigne might be presumed to have, and after loading into a wagon what goods they could carry they pulled their freight for Oregon. Lieuts. Powell and Lacey of United States army, with a detachment of three soldiers from the Presidio, San Francisco, and a teamster, have been working at Santa Ana during the week on a military survey in the interests of war department. They are commissioned to carefully go over the country, taking note of the best and most direct roads, mountain ranges, streams and fords, and a map is being made of these topographical features.

Gardiner & Howe sued the city originally for $1692 34, but in the trial the amount of $390 was ordered stricken from this sum, the same being for pipe and special pipe fittings; and the city's charge for the use of the boiler at the power house, for water for the boiler and cement, and oil for fuel. This leaves a net balance amounting to $1,302 34 sued for. In this amount is included a charge for the extra lining of the cement pump pit and extra foundation for the same. This work was done by Gray Bros. & Ward (sub-contractors) and a demand for this extra work was submitted to the Trustees at the time of settlement with Gardiner & Howe, but the same was disallowed, as the well-pit would have been without this extra work unit for the purposes intended for it. The city admits owing the contractors $771 09 ($531 25 less than the amount sued for), and are ready to pay this amount into court and let the creditors of Gardiner & Howe appear and establish their claims in court. Testimony was given by Messrs. Ward and Coombes and Gardiner & Howe and H. C. Kellogg as an expert witness for the plaintiff and by Trustees Rust and Helmsen, Clerk Nebelung, Treasurer Goldwater and Charley Rogers for the city. Trustee Lewis filed his deposition some weeks ago, previous to his departure for Seattle. City Attorney Chynoweth appeared for the city and John D. Pope of Los Angeles and Richard Melrose of this city for the plaintiff. A decision is not looked for before the latter part of the month. Mr. and Mrs. Rea went to Riverside on Friday to attend the funeral of J. M. Edminston, having been apprised of that sorrowful event the previous day by telegraph. Mr. Edminston was an old-time friend of Mr. Rea, and had quite a number of acquaintances in this city. J. F. Schlange, who some four years ago conducted a photograph gallery in Anaheim, but who since then has been on a trip to Germany and has resided at various points in this country, was a visitor in town on Monday and made us a pleasant call. Mr. Schlange now lives at Santa Ana, and is traveling for the sale of a new-fangled bath brush which he tells us is the greatest invention in the world. Albert Hildebrand has commenced damage proceedings in the sum of $15,-000 against the Chino beet sugar company for injuries alleged to have been received on July 17, 1897, while in that company's employ. It appears that he was transferred from his regular duties in the pressroom into the mixing department and was furnished with defective machinery, which splashed lime about, and as a result rendered him entirely blind in the left eye; also impairing the sight of the right eye to such an extent as to incapacitate him from work. What might have resulted in a serious accident happened to Hank Stough as he was driving his spirited roadster along Los Angeles street on Saturday evening. The animal endeavored to turn into Cypress street, and in Mr. Stough's attempting to keep the horse going straight ahead, the buggy collided with a post at the corner, throwing him violently to the ground, striking upon his head and shoulders. Friends passing picked him up and finding that no serious results had happened, a search for the runaway was made. No trace of the animal could be found, but on resuming the search next morning the outfit was recovered standing in a vacant yard near the city water works. By the tracks it could be seen that the animal ran as far as the corner of Lemon and Sycamore streets and turning came back to near where the accident occurred. For Sale.

On Dec. 30 she was instructed to go to the business after an article and attempted use the back stairway, but in good down the steps she missed her foot and fell to the bottom. As a result brought suit for damages in the amount of $10,700, alleging that she "brushed, shocked, injured, lamed, made sick, sore and nervous," so she does not believe she will ever cover. She states that the accident was due to the fact that the staircase was a faulty one and that there were no lights kept in the basement which she could see her way when she was sent down the stairs. Mrs. O'Lander's doctor bills since the accident have amounted to $70. The rabbit hunters who went to the Kraemer and Cadman tract do slaughter last Sunday morning ceased in killing about 150 of the leaved varmints.

The city water supply of Santa Ana is running low, and the trustees have begun to make plans for an increase. The flow from the artesian wells which furnish water to the city is becoming less, and measures will at once have to be taken to secure more water supply. The trustees have under consideration a plan to lay pipes from the Cole well on First street about a mile from the town and bring the water, which is now going to waste, into the city. In the meantime water consumers have been requested to use no more water than absolutely necessary until the present situation can be relieved. I. L. Menges, DENTIST. Metz Building, Anaheim. feb24 M.
