SHALL WE HAVE A CANNERY? If We Want It, Subscriptions Must Come in Liberally. Not Sufficient Stock Subscribed for at Monday's Meeting to Justify the Application for Incorporation Papers—Another Effort to be Made to Secure Stock by Next Monday Sufficient to Incorporate the Enterprise—Subscriptions With Strings Attached to Them are Not What the Committee Desire—The Question of the Location of the Cannery Not to be Considered Until Enough Stock Shall Have Been Subscribed to Justify Incorporation—Then the Directors Will Select the Location Best Suited to Subserve the Interests of All the Stockholers. No application for incorporation papers for the cannery project was considered necessary at the meeting of deciduous fruit growers at the City Hall on Monday afternoon. Not enough stock to start one side of the cannery was in evidence, and disguise the fact as one may, the meeting was not otherwise than discouraging. After discussing the various phases of the calculable good to accrue to the community by the establishment of the enterprise, the meeting voted to adjourn for one week, to give the enlarged committee more time in which to solicit subscriptions to stock. There was a good attendance of representative citizens present, but the spirit of the enterprise was lacking, and unless we can do better by the project, we might as well abandon the effort here and now. No cannery was ever built, and no town was ever made to advance, by its people standing around and looking solemn, and by people subscribing for a single share of stock when they ought to put their names down for a hundred. M. L. Rogers called the meeting to order, and R. Melrose was called upon to preside. On taking the chair Mr. Melrose dwelt upon the discouraging outlook, but said he hoped the people of the community would continue in the good work, making the establishment of the cannery a success. The project had his sympathy and his financial support. Every man, woman and child in town would be benefited by the establishment of the cannery. He had led the matter with Mr. Groom, and did not think it wise to set the mark at too high a capitalization. Let canvassers go among the fruit raisers and get contracts for their fruit for three years, the growers agreeing to take half cash and the remainder in stock. By doing we enlist the sympathy of the fruit growers and make active stockholders of them. Six thousand dollars was all the money needed, in his opinion. "If you can't raise $6000 in Anaheim, you can't get this cannery. It would be of immense benefit to your community. It would give employment to two or three hundred people, and disburse thousands of dollars throughout the community." Mr. Benchley on being handed a copy of the stock subscription list, said that the figures showing the profits of the cannery could not have been carefully canvassed by the people, or certainly a greater number of shares of stock would have been subscribed. The figures show that a cannery with a capacity of 25,000 cans of fruit per day, costing $10,000, made a profit of $5000 on standard fruit the first year. "If you want anything better than that, why, you have to come to Fullerton for it." [Laughter.] He did not see why the people of Anaheim hesitated about it. Anyone who invests $100 in the cannery will get a return of at least 20 per cent on his investment; and the cannery would provide for the deciduous growers a splendid market that does not now exist. The Chair said he had been asked a question which Mr. Benchley might be in position to answer: Was there a sufficient amount of fruit here to supply the needs of a cannery? Mr. Benchley said that a canvass made at Fullerton two years ago showed there were 500 tons of fruit there at that time, with prospects good for doubling it in two years. If a cannery should be established, providing a market for peaches and apricots at $20 per ton, the yield would undoubtedly be very largely increased. More orchards would be set out, and better care taken of the trees. The yield of tomatoes and all other kinds of produce would be similarly increased, and the growers of the product correspondingly benefited. He was very sorry the committee had not made more rapid progress. If the figures given by Mr. Groom are right, and he had no disposition to doubt their accuracy, the inducements for going into a cannery were certainly very bright. Mr. Fay referred to a Colorado firm who are making money canning peas and tomatoes, with only a campaign of six weeks to work on. Here the season for vegetables lasts six months, and the profits of the canning industry should be vastly superior to that of the Colorado firm. Here where we have also peaches and apricots and all kinds of deciduous fruits and vegetables, the Kleinigkeiten. —A shower of rain fell yesterday morning at 11 o'clock. —To-day is St. Patrick's Day legal holiday in Connemara. —The wife of Philip Sackmann sent him with a new daughter yet day morning at 1 o'clock. —Henry Albrecht has the command for the erection of a new residence Billy Schumacher at Fullerton. —Candidates for city offices arefecting their certificates of nomination.

The couple were married by Justice Johnson at Fullerton on the night of the same day. —Allan Melrose has taken a station at McCullom's bicycle establishment, and when not busy waiting up customers in the store, busies himself with taking photographs of different sections of the establishment. —Have you subscribed for stockthe cannery? If not, why not? you want Anaheim to go ahead because something as a live, gressive town? Then help out by project by subscribing liberally if you can. Otherwise cannery will not be established. —At the meeting of Invincible Labor on Thursday evening, W. B. Juice was elected delegate to the grand lodge which meets in Nevada City on April 25th, and J. Backs was elected almate. Among the routine business transactions it was decided that shelor give a ball on April 15th next. —Jotham Bixby and George B.

The homestead of Mrs. B its people standing around and looking solemn, and by people subscribing for a single share of stock when they ought to put their names down for a hundred. M. L. Rogers called the meeting to order, and R. Melrose was called upon to preside. On taking the chair Mr. Melrose dwelt upon the discouraging outlook, but said he hoped the people of the community would continue in the good work, making the establishment of the cannery a success. The project had his sympathy and his financial support. Every man, woman and child in town would be benefited by the establishment of the cannery. He had recently been on a visit to Buena Park and had been astonished to find the condensed milk factory such a scene of activity. He found a marvelous state of affairs existing there. Not a month passes but at least $5000 is paid out for milk and wages. Two carloads of tin are used monthly and thousands upon thousands of dollars are disbursed annually for other necessaries used in the creamery. Many of the employees of the creamery are the sons and daughters of the farmers of the community, all of them at work at good wages. What is true of Buena Park and its cremery would be equally true of our cannery. The speaker referred earnestly to the great good to accrue to the entire valley by the inauguration of the enterprive here. The minutes of the last meeting were read and approved, after which reports of the committees on soliciting stock were called for. Mr. Benchley of the committee said he had been waiting for a week to have a copy of the subscription blank forwarded him, but he had failed to receive it. Mr. Nebelung said that his experience with interviewing people who are financially able to assist in the project, was that they all wanted more information upon the subject. Herman Stern reported that he had secured about 70 shares. None of the other committeemen had as yet appeared, and the chair said that the outlook was so far not very encouraging. He said his attention had been called to a circular distributed numerously about the streets stating that F. Conrad had made an offer of a cash subscription of $1000 toward the enterprise, and asked if anyone present knew whether there was anything tangible about it. The circular being produced, the secretary read from it the offer, as follows: "1st - A cash subscription of $1,000. 2nd - To pay up a suitable building at actual cost, he to make and burn them on his own premises. 3rd - All the land needed for building and drying purposes on the side-track running to his brewery, rent free, for twenty years. 4th - All the water needed by the plant at the actual cost of pumping it." The chair asked whether anyone present knew anything about the offer. In the absence of anything before the meeting, he said, and hearing that the subscription had been made, he asked whether there was anyone present who knew if there was anything tangible about the offer—whether anyone present could say whether it was a bona fide offer or whether there were any "strings!" to it. Mr. Dickel, answering for Conrad, stated there was one "string" to it. That gentleman had desired him to say to the meeting that his offer was made contingent "upon the success of the cannery business." Mr. Pay asked as to the manner of the application of the subscription. Would the shareholder go ahead and build the cannery and make it a success and Conrad's subscription be conditioned thereupon? Mr. Benchley said we had a good illustration of the beneficial effects of a cannery right in our own neighborhood this last year. A man came to his place last year desiring to buy peaches. The speaker told him what he could have the peaches at, when the other gentleman said: "Why, down at Mr. Fowler's place I can get all the peaches I want for nothing." The speaker ascertained shortly that this was so. Now, suppose a man came to Anaheim and seeing the many beautiful peach orchards hereabout, he wanted to settle and raise peaches. Suppose he should ask what peaches were worth, and he should be told that Fowler or anybody else gave them away; do you suppose for an instant he would long remain? Mr. Benchley's remarks were timely and to the point. The chair appointed the following additional members to the committee: Mr. Fay referred to a Colorado firm who are making money canning peas and tomatoes, with only a campaign of six weeks to work on. Here the season for vegetables last six months, and the profits of the canning industry should be vastly superior to that of the Colorado firm. Here where we have also peaches and apricots and all kinds of deciduous fruits and vegetables, the profits ought to be just that much increased. Mr. Meyer here came in and submitted his subscription list, containing 50 shares. Herman Stern stated that parties living in Los Angeles who own deciduous fruit orchards here ought to be corresponded with and asked to subscribe. The chair said he was surprised at the lack of enthusiasm, but he hoped that with good hard work the cannery ought yet to be made a go. He appealed to the gentlemen present from Fulleton, Buena Park, Olive and other outlying settlements, to join with us to make it a success. A cannery would benefit those sections as greatly as this city, and he urged their active co-operation in the work. He read from Mr. Groom's figures showing the great profit in canneries. He could scarcely believe the figures—the profits were so high. But cut the profits in two—estimate them at 50 per cent of the present figures—and they are still good enough to enlist the support of the people of the entire valley. He impressed upon the committee the necessity for getting together and doing earnest work in behalf of the enterprise. Mr. Nebelung suggested the doubling of the committees. He found committeemen do better when they go in pairs. Mr. Whitaker seconded the motion as being a good idea. He had gone out at Buena Park some time ago to sell some tickets for a concert. He was accompanied by three ladies, and not a single gentleman was allowed to escape.[Laughter.] Let the fruit-growers execute a pledge to take stock to the extent of a fourth of their crop. If the fruit-growers take no interest in the cannery one cannot expect the capitalists to do so. He referred to the Buena Park creamery, which gives employment to 30 people, and several houses are going up to accommodate its employees. A cannery will help set up the town, increase the price of town lots and bring hundreds of new people here.

That gentleman had desired him to say to the meeting that his offer was made contingent "upon the success of the cannery business." Mr. Fay asked as to the manner of the application of the subscription. Would the shareholder's go ahead and build the cannery and make it a success and Conrad's subscription be conditioned thereupon? The chair said that if the success of the cannery could be made a matter of undisputed certainty there would be no difficulty in securing thousands of shares where now none are forthcoming. The chair asked whether the offer was conditioned upon the erection of the building adjoining Conrad's brewery. Mr. Dickel said that undoubtedly the offer was conditioned upon the erection of the building upon the side-track at the brewery. Mr. Fay was of opinion that that was the evident intent of the communication. Mr. Rogers said that Conrad's offer was a very liberal one, and made it evident that gentleman was interested along with the rest of the people in striving for the success of the enterprise. But before we can take any definite action upon the location of the cannery, we should have the full reports of all the committees—we should settle the matter of the establishment of the cannery first, and give attention to the location later. The Secretary read a letter handed in by Mr. Nebelung, received from the owners of the Dreyfus winery property, offering to lease the building for five years at $50 per month; the renters to pay insurance, taxes and repairs. The letter was filed; but the offer was considered too high to admit of further negotiation. Mr. Fay referred among those who would be most benefited by the establishment of the cannery—those having deciduous fruit orchards. Mr. Nebelung suggested that those having fruit to deliver to the cannery might subscribe a portion of their fruit for stock, backed by a negotiable note covering the amount. When fruit to the amount of the shares subscribed for bad been delivered, the note could be returned. He thought if this could be carried out, a large number of shares could be secured and money be acquired for the cannery. Mr. Whitaker argued that a subscription of $6000 was sufficient for the needs of the cannery.

The band accepted Mr. Schindler's resignation with regret, and the Secretary was authorized to write him a letter expressive of the obligations of the members toward him during his leadership. Mr. Schindler has signified a willingness to play with the band on state occasions and his playing at such times will no doubt be of great assistance. Mr. Whann, the new leader, is one of the most expert cornet soloists in Southern California, and under his leadership the band will no doubt take easy rank among the foremost musical organizations in the country. The boys voted to return to their former plan of practicing two nights a week—Mondays and Thursdays—instead of practicing once a week, as has been the custom lately. The band has a warm place in the affections of the people, who desire it to continue to improve and become a credit to the community. Manuel Martinez, while crossing the trestle bridge of the Santa Fe road near Capistrano was ground to pieces by the north-bound eastern flyer at about 5 o'clock on Sunday morning.Pieces of the body were picked up on different sides of the track by Coroner Clark who was summoned from Fulerton to Capistrano by telegram.Some months ago Martinez caused a train to come to a standstill by his wild gesticulations upon the track, which he would not leave until forcibly removed by trainmen.Not long afterward he caused a train to slow down, but not until he had been struck and thrown twenty feet。他 was drunk when killed.The manner of his death is not known except that it was accomplished by the flyer, but whether he fell asleep on the trestle or was struck while walking across it is not known.The coroner's jury on Sunday afternoon brought in a verdict,finding that death was caused by being run over by a Southern California railway train.The verdict neither blames nor exorates the company. Ramon Marquez was arrested by Marshal Steadman on Sunday evening, on complaint of Dominick Lieb, who asserted that Ramon while under the influence of liquor perished in coming into his place of business and refused to go out when requested to do so.The accused was ushered into Recorder Pierce's court on Monday morning,after spending the night in jail, at which time Dominick told the court that Ramon never came into his place unless he was drunk or had no money,and he did not want to be bothered with him.On being escorted to jail.at about 8 o'clock on Sunday evening,Ramon persuaded the Marshal to permit him to stop at the baker's to get a loaf of bread,saying he had not had breakfast yet, although he was suffering from the effects of a compound comminuted jag,and the day was K.

On Sunday last, before the rain of that and Thursday, the price had risen to $20 per ton. Fred Mickle, the Anaheim hay operator, held his that figure. After the rain on May hay was quoted at $12, although it is doubtful whether much had at that price. At the South-Specific depot a carload of Arizona hay was received, which was on hold at $17. Yesterday the price was quoted as advancing to $18,ains hold off, the price may go again. Fred Mickle is holding that price. If we have rain, how much price may go tumbling down. Mickle informed us yesterday why was worth about $17 or $18. Darling of the Southern Pacific imported a carload of Arizona which he offers for sale. The time of the Superior Court at Ana was occupied on Friday in a endeavor to ascertain what D. Chamlee knew about the insolvent store which he used to conduct Barton. His knowledge was found sufficient and his memory at fault. Books were kept nor any memoranda by which one could deceive a thing about the firm's assets abilities. Attorney Dunning of Angeles, representing the Board of which the debts of the firm solidified, conducted the examin-He endeavored to find what were outstanding, what claims the firm were legitimate, and other liabilities the firm had. Poor success, as the usual answer questions was, "I don't know any about it." At times the attorney led in drawing out a little informa-tion about the accounts of the firm, its success was meagre. T. Y. Chamlee, brother of D. S. Chamlee, sat upon the stand, and as his tes-did not very well coincide with his brother, the matter became easier puzzle than before. It was from that D.S. Chamlee purchased stock of goods. D.S. Chamlee was paid to pay a fine of $25 or go to 124 days for contempt of court, asking to obey a citation to appear and give testimony regardingolvency proceedings. He paid his —The performance of "Hilario Joundi," depicting the ceremonies of a mock installation, drew out quite a large audience at the Opera-house on Tuesday evening. The performance was given by a number of Santa Ana ladies, among them Mesdames Goepper, Curtice, Elliott, Mitchell, Buck, Rogers, McMurdo, Litten, McCoomes, Anderson, Lacy, McClay, Mullinix, Fox, Leck, Tumber, and the Misses Laura Lacy, Mae Chilson, Minnie Smith and Leola Curtice. Accompanying the ladies were the following Santa Ana Odd Fellows, under the auspices of which lodge the entertainment was presented: Leo Goepper, D. G. McClay, A. V. Thompson, A. C. Curice, John Leek, John Ellis, J. W. Mitchell, J. R. McMurdo, Geo. Robinson, Mr. Tumber. The hall was darkened, and the various awe-inspiring accessories, including skeletons, burning cauldron and coat on wheels, were presented, and the awful ceremonies visited upon the applicant (Mr. McClay) were blood-curdling in the extreme. Miss Laura Lacy acted as Mother Goose, with broom poised overhead, and walking at the head of the black-gowned and black-hooded hosts. The ceremonies were followed with interest and were frequently applauded. After the installation the local lodge of Odd Fellows served sandwiches and coffee, and later all present participated in a social hop. J.C.Keith, formerly of Anaheim, is at the head of the Bible Department of Bethany college, W.Va., the oldest institution of the Christian church in the world. It was founded by Alexander Campbell nearly sixty years ago, and he was president of the same till his death in 1866. The college has done a great work in educating men and women, and her graduates fill honorable places in all vocations. Her magnificent buildings stand in a romantic and beautiful spot in West Virginia, seven miles from Ohio river. Capt.Wrede has placed us under obligations to him for a map, upon which he has drawn lines showing what to a land lubber would appear as an illustration of the theory that the "longest way around is the shortest way across." The Captain sailed the seas for many years, and is an authority upon all the matters nautical. Thus in sailing from Nicaragua to Hongkong, the shortest route would be, not one straight across the equator, but one in an arc the northernmost point of which would be in Behring sea. Paradoxical as this may seem to the landsman, yet it is a matter in line with the ABC of navigation. The distance across the equator between these two points is according to the Captain's measurement, 9198.4 miles, while the distance along this arc of the greatest circle is 8494 miles, a difference of 700 miles in favor of the latter course. In sailing from Nicaragua to Hongkong, consequently, a skipper would not head for Hawaiian islands, which are situated a little to the north of a direct line between the two points, but the course would be northwest by north. Thus the vessel would travel, what to a landsman would appear to be some 4000 miles out of the route. But the globular earth makes this circular route 700 miles shorter of the two. Geography is an interesting study, and there is nothing so fascinating about it as when dealing with the seas and the lands connected with us by the waters, and situate on the other side of the globe.
