SANITARIUM DIRECTORS INSPECT DEL CAMPO Look Through the Building on Monday and Express Themselves as Highly Pleased with It—Report Revived That Sanitarium Will Come. Mr. Carver, lessee of the Hotel del Campo, who conducts the building as an apartment house, reports that on Monday two representatives of the Battle Creek Sanitarium inspected the building, with a view to reporting finally upon it as an available site for the establishment of a sanitarium here. One of the gentlemen, whose name Mr. Carver did not learn, said he had just arrived from Battle Creek, Mich., he being the head of the board of location to whom the California board of location had referred the matter of finally deciding the question of a site for their branch institution in Southern California. "The entire matter has been left in abeyance until my arrival," he said. "Some of your citizens hold the opinion, so I am told, that we have not treated them exactly right in not giving them an answer sooner. I admit they have some grounds for dissatisfaction, but I have hurried to California with as much speed as was possible, when my many duties and other engagements are considered. I have come from Battle Creek just as quickly as I could." After being shown through the building he announced himself as being greatly pleased with the structure. He paid particular attention to the larger rooms, saying that this one would be available for this part of their business, that for the other, and so on. He looked closely into the rooms, and said, after their inspection, that he was very favorably impressed with the building. Mr. Carver said that as lessee of the building he would desire to know as soon as possible regarding the selection of the building, as he wished, in that event, to vacate the premises without delay. "We shall make our decision within a few days," replied the Battle Creek official; "probably early in the new year. "We are favorably impressed with this community. The local board of location have so expressed themselves to the parent institution, and from what I have seen of the surroundings and this building I must say I am also THIS BANK CASHIER TURNED FARMER Chester Holcomb Says There is Lots of Money in Raising Early Melons on the Desert—He'll Ship to the Waldorf-Astoria. Chester Holcomb, who came in from Indio to spend the holidays with his family, has great stories to tell of the wonderful productiveness of the soil of the desert, once water is applied to it. Together with others of his family he has purchased 160 acres of land at Thermal, and has succeeded in obtaining a flow of 35 miners' inches of water from a four-inch artesian well 498 feet deep. He will plant 40 acres to canteloupes, and has already had correspondence with the Waldorf-Astoria hotel in New York relative to shipments when the season opens. Desert melons are the earliest on the market, and command fancy prices. Several hundred acres will be planted to melons at Thermal the coming spring, and shipments East will aggregate hundreds of carloads. "The first time we struck the desert," he said, speaking of changing his lot from a bank cashier to a farmer, "the country was enveloped in the worst wind-storm I ever saw. It blew a perfect gale all night and all day. We made up our minds to return to Southern California, where it never blows, and as we were upon the point of starting back the next day a fellow came up and said they didn't have wind like that all the time. He said there was a lot of good land lying about for sale cheap, and that farmers had made a mint of money raising early melons for the eastern market. "We resolved to stay a day longer, and found the climate much more congenial than the first day, artesian water easy to get, and we bought 160 acres of land. "We have a number of laborers employed, and hope to ship many a carload of melons to New York next spring. "We are also going in for okra and other early vegetables, and hope to make a success of it." Holcomb says the past season melon growers netted $100 per acre. FLEMING ONCE SOLD CORN SALVE Buena Park Boy Who Made Lots of Money at the Business—Going to Bolivia. "I was once in the business of selling corn salve—sure thing!" said Charley LOCAL JOTTINGS OF INTEREST New Carrier. George Wommer a bright young lad, has been employed as carrier of this journal.

F., elected the following officers on Monday evening to serve for the ensuing year: W. M. Carver, past grand ranger; Frank L. Eastman, chief ranger; Robert J. Sparks, vice chief ranger; A. Nagel, treasurer; Frank H. Carter, chaplain; Wm. Huff, S. W.; Frank R. Skinner, J. W.; J. Berlin, S. B.; Wm. Trapp, J. B.; Dr. H. A. Johnston, Dr. S.G. Wilson, physicians; B.M. Green, Wm. Trapp, financial committee; J.Berlin, R.J.Sparks, trustees; A.Nagel, court deputy. The election was followed by initiatory work and a banquet. Anaheim Council, No. 134, F.A.A., elected officers the evening of December 26th as follows: J.A.Eymann,P.P.;R.Melrose,P.;Mrs.E.Seale,V.P.;Frank S.Gates secretary;J.Schumacher,treasurer;Dr.G.S.Eddy,medical examiner;Mrs.C.Spencerchaplain;Mrs.C.Bitner,guide;Chas.Federman，observer;Wm.Freise,sentinel;H.Cahen,C.Spencer，trustees;J.A.Eymann,captain of team;Mrs.L.Eymann,pianist. Officers will be installed on January 9th, when there will be a musical and literary program rendered and a banquet. All members are invited to be present. Recovering Mr. Carver said that as lessee of the building he would desire to know as soon as possible regarding the selection of the building, as he wished, in that event, to vacate the premises without delay. "We shall make our decision within a few days," replied the Battle Creek official; "probably early in the new year." "We are favorably impressed with this community. The local board of location have so expressed themselves to the parent institution, and from what I have seen of the surroundings and this building, I must say I am also very favorably impressed. We shall let you know of our selection as early as possible. If we select Anaheim as the site for our sanitarium, we purpose making it our principal sanitarium in the State." The two gentlemen later drove off in a buggy. It is believed one of the gentlemen was Mr. Hemphill, one of the local board of location, who owns a farm at Centralia, and who is known to be an enthusiastic supporter of the plan to select Anaheim as the site for the branch sanitarium. Mr. Carver was recently in conference with Mr. Duque, of Los Angeles, one of the owners of the building, and was informed by that gentleman the sanitarium folks were still considering the proposition of purchasing the building. It is known that four out of six of the local board of location favored Anaheim at the time of the discussion of the subject several weeks ago. The dissenting member had never been here, but was present at the last conference between the sanitarium people and Chamber of Commerce. At that time he is said to have been agreeably surprised at the community and surroundings. It was said at that time, when the decision was delayed day after day, that the local board of location desired to have a unanimous vote in favor of the locality selected. Failing to secure that, it was said, the entire matter was referred to the Battle Creek directors. Secretary Athearn of the Chamber of Commerce who has been in correspondence with the sanitarium people, said yesterday he had no idea who the gentleman, referred to by Mr. Carver, could be. It could not be A. T. Jones of Berkeley, who is president of the Battle Creek sanitarium, and who has been looked for to arrive at Anaheim for some weeks past to make a final decision in the matter. Nor could the visitor, in his opinion, be Mr. Hemphill, who had written him the day before, and who expected to be in Riverside on Monday. Mr. Hemphill is traveling salesman for health food products of the Battle Creek institution. "The sanitarium will come to Anaheim," said Mr. Athearn, positively. "The reason why a decision has not already been made is owing to a lack of unanimity on the part of the California board of location. Four out of the six favor Anaheim. Two are for Los Angeles. But I think we shall soon hear that Anaheim has been chosen. I have written the sanitarium people ployed, and hope to ship many a carload of melons to New York next spring. "We are also going in for okra and other early vegetables, and hope to make a success of it." Holcomb says the past season melon growers netted $100 per acre. FLEMING ONCE SOLD CORN SOLVE Buena Park Boy Who Made Lots of Money at the Business—Going to Bolivia. "I was once in the business of selling corn salve—sure thing!" said Charley Fleming, who was in town from Buena Park yesterday. He came in from Needles some weeks ago, and has since been employed at the Park creamery. At Needles he was engaged with the Santa Fe bridge outfit, and rose to be bridge inspector. "It was up in Oregon, and I did it more as a josh than anything else. I was in with another fellow who played a banjo and sung. I was the doctor and made a great spiel about the salve. "In one night we made $15 apiece clear and were sailing high. Everybody thought I was a doctor, and I had more fun than a box of monkeys. "I had a good job with the bridge builders' outfit, and made $125 per month. I had a railroad tricycle and skipped over the road from one place to another inspecting bridges. I stayed at the section houses over night, and when out on the road had the right to flag any train in order to get into town. "But that corn salve proposition was the funniest job I ever struck. If I had stayed with it I guess I would have been rich." Charley says he is going to Bolivia next year to work for the Standard Oil Company. New Brick Block. J.P. Zeyn is negotiating for the purchase of the Pamperl lot on Los Angeles street, adjoining Redit's foundry. If he succeeds in securing the property he will erect a $6000 brick building. House Moving. The proprietors of the new paper at Fullerton have purchased Mrs. Christ's frame building on the corner of Center and Philadelphia streets, paying $200 therefor. It was some years ago moved here from Carlton, and will be transported to Fullerton to be used as the new print shop. Jennings Oil Company. Articles of incorporation have been filed in San Bernardino county for the Jennings Oil Company. The purposes of the incorporation are varied, from a banking and commission business to drilling oil wells and engaging in a general mining business. The company is capitalized at $100,000. The principal place of business is to be in Chino, and the incorporators and first board of directors are Charles H. Jennings, Thomas R. Jennings, H. H. Roxbury, Frank A. Burnett and Elmer D. Aley. Drilling on the first well has begun, and Mr. Jennings says that inside of sixty days he expects to have a hole operated, and hope to ship many a carload of melons to New York next spring. "We are also going in for okra and other early vegetables, and hope to make a success of it." Holcomb says the past season melon growers netted $100 per acre.

I have pointed out to them that business prudence should have dictated an early answer to our proposal. But I am satisfied the sanitarium people will select Anaheim as their site." Mr. Jones was some months ago in Anaheim at the time of the inception of the agitation for the sanitarium. His favorable impression of the community at that time was an incentive to beginning work to secure a bonus in order to locate the sanitarium here. In company of Mr. Athearn he went through the Del Campo, and expressed himself as being delighted with the building, community and its surroundings. Mr. Carver said last evening that he had met Mr. Jones on the occasion of his visit here. The gentleman here on Monday was not Mr. Jones, but he spoke as if a decision in favor of Anaheim would be made within a few days. FIRE IN PEATLANDS. The barns and outhouses of Mrs. Friend, a resident of the peat lands, were destroyed by fire on Saturday. The flames were carried from burning weeds near by, and before the owner could prevent their spreading the barn was beyond hope of saving. But for the prompt action of Frank Shevlin and Henry Rutherford, who happened to be in the neighborhood, the house would also have been destroyed. Friend had to devote his efforts to carrying away his invalid wife and sister and had no time to try to save the house. The barn with its contents was a total loss. filed in San Bernardino county for the Jennings Oil Company.

Drilling on the first well has begun, and Mr. Jennings says that inside of sixty days he expects to have a hole down 1300 to 1500 feet. Studying the Walnut. Mr. Mills of the Pomona experiment station has been on a trip through the walnut districts of Orange and Los Angeles counties. On his return home he is quoted as saying that it will be necessary to graft over a large number of walnut trees in the upper valley. Most of them are seedlings from the Santa Barbara soft shell, and are so irregular in quality as to make many of them worthless for the market. This applies to many orchards. He says a great many trees should be grafted from trees known to be producing a good quality of nuts. Mumps. The Orangethorpe and Placentia schools opened on Monday, but the prevalence of mumps renders the attendance somewhat smaller than usual. Miss Eva Flook, one of the teachers in the Fullerton schools, is ill with the mumps. GRAPE CUTTINGS. Leave orders now. dec 5-1m CHAS. OTTO RUST. PERKINS SAYS NIT ON CABINET PLACE Wouldn't Have It If He Could, and Couldn't Have It If He Would. It is reported in official circles at Washington that Senator Perkins of California is being mentioned as Secretary of the Navy to succeed Secretary Long, whose early retirement to private life is expected. There seems to be not much foundation for the report except that in Senatorial circles somebody had mentioned the fact that Senator Perkins had been a seafaring man and that he might make a good Secretary of the Navy. When Perkins was asked about the report he said he had heard it before, and that the matter had been brought to his attention in a semi-official way, but had never been mentioned to him by the President. Continuing, Perkins said: "I do not suppose for a moment that I could have this place if I wanted it, and I will also say that I would not have it if I could. I would ten times rather be United States Senator from California than be a member of the cabinet; for as Senator I can sometimes do something that would be of value, whereas cabinet members are merely executive officers." There has been some talk about Judge Waymire for Secretary of the Interior, but it is hard to tell where it originated. It is not regarded as serious by Californians at Washington. FOR SALE.

A pretty wedding took place at the home of Mrs. Oefinger Sunday, Dec. 29, at 2 p.m., when William Kroeger and Miss Katherine Oefinger were united in marriage by Judge Shanley. The home was attractively decorated in smilax and holly berries. The bride looked beautiful in a dress of light gray crepon, trimmed in white chiffon and white satin ribbons. She carried natural orange blossoms and wore a spray of the same in her hair. Miss Bertha Oefinger, sister of the bride, who acted as maid of honor, looked lovely in white organdie trimmed and wore a spray of the same in her hair. GOOD WORK BY ALEXANDER CRAW Hopes Newly Imported Chinese Parasite for Red Scale will be Successful. The semi-annual report of Alexander Craw, State Quarantine Inspector, to the State Board of Horticulture, shows that, as heretofore, all trees, plants and fruits infested with injurious insects or diseases new to the State have been destroyed. On May 31st he destroyed an importation of several thousand Japanese “song cricket” eggs. We have all the species of vegetable-eating crickets, katydids and grasshoppers in the State that we care for. The song of the “Kutsuwamunshi” would hardly compensate for the damage it would probably do. Occasionally, says the report, we find a few oranges in the possession of passengers from Mexico which we confiscate and destroy. But no shipments of such fruit have been received since the destruction of the consignment received from Acapulco, Mexico, November 19, 1899, until Sunday, November 3rd, of this year, when the steamship Newport arrived, and in her cargo were fifteen cases of oranges in which the maggots were present. Craw condemned the fruit and boxes and burned them. He hopes that Congress will pass a law that will prohibit the introduction of oranges from the infested sections. If a measure of this kind is not enacted the growers of citrus fruits in the United States may soon have to wage warfare upon a pest that will be more difficult to control than the codlin moth in apples and pears. Another perplexing question is the presence of the melon-cucumber maggot in Honolulu. Honolulu is now a domestic port, and the examination of baggage by customs inspectors has been discontinued, so the pest may be brought in by thoughtless individuals bringing infested melons or cucumbers in their baggage. The pest is probably a native of Japan. The Supervisors of several citrus-growing counties have strengthened the hands of their horticultural commissioners by passing ordinances against the introduction of citrus trees from States where the “white fly” (Aleyrodes citri) exists. This is a wise movement in the interests of their citizens. The report mentions the receipt of two packages of Scutellista cyanea, the South African internal parasite of the black scale. Seventeen were alive. PERSONAL MENTION Miss Joyce Littlefield is assisting her father at the postoffice. Roadmaster Hunter was a visitor in town on Monday from Fullerton.

The employees showed their appreciation of Mr. Bixby's uniform kindness to them by presenting him with a $65 camera. Last year he was the recipient at their hands of an $80 gold watch. He subsequently treated his hands to a theatre party to Los Angeles, paying all expenses. It is needless to say that there exists between Mr. Bixby and his employes the most cordial good feeling.

Joseph Dauser had the unpleasant experience of irrigating his orchard during the windstorm, and after running water to the alfalfa during the morning hours, sent word to Zanjeng Brunsworth to shut it off early in the afternoon.

We didn't have a touch of frost during the cold spell last week, and the orchard never looked better. Some people object to hedges around orange groves, saying the outside row of trees are ill affected thereby, but mine show no such effects. Besides, I would rather sacrifice a few trees, if that were necessary, in order to save my crop. My outside rows contain none but fine trees, and I wouldn't take out my hedge for any consideration."
