ONLY 901 SHARES AT ANNUAL WATER MEETING No Quorum Present, and Old Board Holds Over—Interesting Informal Meeting Past Year's Management Praised The annual meeting of stockholders in the Anaheim Union Water company on Saturday was in distinguished contrast to the usual yearly gathering of shareholders, for no apparent interest was manifested in the election of a new board of directors. The usual order has been for a spirited contest to be on for places upon the board, there being a majority and minority element in the company. Not since 1892, when the irrigation district was about to take over the works, has an election evoked so little interest. Last year a fierce contest waged between the two factions, as was the case the preceding year, and in fact during each successive year for the past dozen years or more. The majority elected four of the seven directors, the minority three. Thus the board has stood for a number of years. It was apparent to each side that no matter how fiercely the contest waged this year, neither could hope to make inroads into the strength of the other, and so several weeks ago word was passed about that there should be no fights. The easiest means to this end was by having no quorum, and this was what happened. When Secretary Krick began calling the roll at 11 o'clock not a score of shareholders were in the directors' room. Usually the contest for directors lasts far into the night, but on Saturday the meeting had adjourned sine die at noon. Downstairs in front of the office were chosen: L. E. Miller, J. F. Ahlborn, C. F. Grim, G. W. Foor, E. Mischord, Fred A. Backs, Welborn Waliop. After the election the party sat down to the feast, which was discussed with a relish on the part of those present. Richard Melrose acted as toastmaster, and at conclusion of the repast arose and spoke in felicitous phrase regarding the objects of the chamber of commerce and the good work it had done in upbuilding the community. He introduced the first speaker of the evening, Judge J. S. Howard, who responded to the toast, "The Chamber of Commerce." He praised the retiring board, which he said had been energetic and faithful in discharge of its duties. The present chamber was organized, he said, in September, 1901, and Anaheim then had the reputation of being the deadest town in Southern California. Now it is one of the livest. The change was in a large measure due to the efforts of the chamber. He urged the new board to keep up the splendid work. Judge Howard then read synopses of the reports of the various committees on the work of the year. The financial statement showed that receipts during the year were $423 08, and expenditures $423 05. The total liabilities consist of one month's rent for the rooms occupied by the chamber. The advertising committee reported it had for a year effectively advertised Anaheim in the Blue Book, having a circulation of 20,000 copies monthly among homeseekers. The committee was largely instrumental in having this city thoroughly represented in the various kinds of advertising matter distributed at the world's fair, being of substantial benefit. Over 300 individual pieces of advertising matter were sent out during the year to inquiry from the secretary's office, and large amounts were sent in bulk to various places. The committee had been active in bringing the city before the notice of the Pacific Electric officials, and expressed the opinion, based on information from those officials, that the present year will see Anaheim in electric communication with Los Angeles. UNITED STATES PATENT COVERS BEACH FRONTAGE Local Mining and Developing Company Secure Valuable Ground at Anaheim Landing—Property Had Been Claimed by Heffman—Water and Gas On Tuesday a government patent land at Anaheim Landing claimed by local citizens arrived from Washington vesting title to 320 acres of beachfrontage in the Anaheim Landing Mining and Development Company. The land represents sixteen holdings, each of twenty acres, which had been filled upon by local men several years ago. The property adjoins that owned by W. Hellman. Last summer, when the Huntington electric road was built through this property, Hellman brought suit to dispossess a dozen more people who had maintained summer cottages at the Landing, on land covered by the patent just issued by the government. The Superior Court held the land was the property of Hellman, and ordered that the settlers be dispossessed. This was accordingly done. Some of the cottages were moved off the land and those which remained after expiration of the time limit for their removal were demolished by a gang of cholos engaged in track laying for the electric railway. The patent received on Tuesday embraces a portion of this land, and extends easterly along the coast a distance of a mile. It is said to cover sixty acres of land recently sold by J. Northam near the Lomita gun club. The mining and development company is composed of L. Schorn of Olive president; Eugene Johnson of Olive secretary; R. Wisser of this city treasurer; the Bayha brothers, Charles Dusort of this city and Jake Yaeger When Secretary Krick began calling the roll at 11 o'clock not a score of shareholders were in the directors' room. Usually the contest for directors lasts far into the night, but on Saturday the meeting had adjourned sine die at noon. Downstairs in front of the office a dozen men stood before the meeting was called to order. Some one suggested to go upstairs, and up they went. President Crowther took the chair and called the meeting to order, and instructed the secretary to call the roll. Only 901 shares answered roll-call, out of 8004. There being no quorum, the meeting was declared adjourned without day. The chairman announced an informal meeting would be held and called for an expression of opinion from those present regarding matters engaging the attention of the shareholders, viz., reboning the company, development of water, pumping plants, and so on. B. F. Porter being called upon said he favored rebonding the company if shareholders could be assured the bonds would not be sacrificed below par. He recalled a time when bonds had been issued and disposed of at 89 cents, in face of assurances from the directors that the securities would not be sold below par. He favored the installation of a test pumping plant, for developing of more water. H. H. Hale said the rebonding committee were undecided whether to advise a vote on $300,000 or a greater amount of bonds. Would, he asked, the stockholders vote affirmatively upon a larger issue? The company's present indebtedness amounted to $228,000. A $300,000 bond issue would leave only $72,000 for developing water, and would not be sufficient to complete the system. He favored an issue say of $350,000, but was not advised whether the shareholders would favor it. A Pierotti favored the lower amount. Additional funds could be raised by assessments in succeeding years. G. W. Sherwood gave his views upon pumping plants. He favored installing six plants, operated by electricity, at a cost of $20,000. Mr. Hale said he differed with Sherwood relative to the sites for the plants. Mr. Porter believed gasoline engines cheaper than electricity for operating pumping plants. Mr. Sherwood said the cost would probably be the same, inasmuch as the electrical current could be controlled by the zanjeros, while engines would require men to operate them. J. C. Sheppard favored pumping plants, saying the company had either to develop more water or go out of business. Other companies are installing pumping plants and he thought they were a good thing. A. T. Pendleton offered a few level-headed suggestions to the board. He various kinds of advertising matter distributed at the world's fair, being of substantial benefit. Over 300 individual pieces of advertising matter were sent out during the year to inquirers from the secretary's office, and large amounts were sent in bulk to various places. The committee had been active in bringing the city before the notice of the Pacific Electric officials, and expressed the opinion, based on information from those officials, that the present year will see Anaheim in electric communication with Los Angeles. The Committee on Public Improvements reported that the first matter which had engaged its attention was that of securing a home for the chamber and a permanent exhibit. How that was accomplished shows for itself. The committee during the year secured a tree planting ordinance, a reduction in the telephone tolls between Anaheim and Fullerton, the practical reconstruction of the road between this city and Placentia, a promise from the Santa Fe railroad company to put alarm bells at the dangerous crossings. The committee wished to go on record as having done its best to arouse interest, both locally and among the other chambers of the county, in the matter of having the banks of the Santa Ana river built up so that in the event of flood the surrounding territory will not be overflowed. This matter is recommended to the consideration of the new board. The membership committee reported that members enrolled at the beginning of the year were 38, while at the end of the year the number in good standing was 84. The total membership enrolled during the year was 102, 18 having been dropped owing to removal or other causes. The Committee on Manufactures told of the efforts which had been made during the year to secure various manufacturing concerns for the city. The committee had been in negotiation with representatives of a number of concerns, but none had agreed to locate here. The work done in advertising the city, however, undoubtedly will be productive of good results. The fact that several large concerns came voluntarily seeking locations is an indication of the manner in which the city's advantages are appreciated outside. L. E. Miller responded to the toast, "Manufactures," C. F. Grim to "The Growth of Anaheim," G. W. Foor to "Observations." P. H. Krick spoke on "The Future of Anaheim." I. Asher on "Comparisons," M. L. Rogers spoke upon the efficient work of the chamber. Edgar Johnson responded to the toast "Anaheim," and Dr. H. A. Johnston, "The Ladies." Vocal solos were rendered during the evening by Herman Dickel, Welborn Wallop and F. L. Dautrich. Peeping Tom Shot At. Residents in the eastern part of town ation of the time limit for their moval were demolished by a gang chilos engaged in track laying for the electric railway. The patent received on Tuesday enbraces a portion of this land, and tends easterly along the coast a distance of a mile. It is said to cover sixty acres of land recently sold by J. Northam near the Lomita gun club. The mining and development company is composed of L. Schorn of Olive president; Eugene Johnson of Olive secretary; R. Wisser of this city treasurer; the Bayha brothers, Charl Dussort of this city and Jake Yaeger of Fullerton. A patent to this land was received from Washington some months ago but did not embrace the 200 feet width front filed on by the company. The patent was returned for correction and the 200-foot strip was included. Natural gas has been developed up to the tract, and in the opinion of expert oil exists there also. A fine flow artesian water has been struck. The land is valuable, being pierced by the Huntington electric railway and lying between Pacific City and Sunrise City, the former owned by Hellman, the latter by Northam. Some fourteen years ago the attention of local men was attracted to mineral-bearing lands along the beach and an inspection of records showed Hellman's line did not embrace these lands were later filed upon little attention was paid to the propectors by Hellman until the advice of the electric railway. Then he began suits to dispossess, and after a fightthe Superior Court entered judgment in his favor. The mining company continued efforts to secure a patent to the land and have now succeeded. New Bank Building. The First National Bank has awakened contract to Graham & Eaton Los Angeles to remodel the Metz Blvd which was purchased for new quarters for that institution. The block is on the corner of Los Angeles and Center streets, and when change is made the bank will have of best equipped rooms in the building modeled after the Southern California Savings banking room in Angeles. The furniture and insides will be of mahogany, the doors will be copper faced and in north corner of main banking room is to be a large waiting room for ladies Two of largest burglar-proof vaults in Southern California will be in rear. The improvements and fixtures will cost $25,000. High School Notes Santa Ana high school defeated A helm high school at an athletic meetthe former town Saturday afternoon Final score, 43 to 35. Swope did show up at his best. The meet marred by a fractured leg sustained David Christen of this city who thus put out of the contest.W Mr. Porter believed gasoline engines cheaper than electricity for operating pumping plants. Mr. Sherwood said the cost would probably be the same, inasmuch as the electrical current could be controlled by the zanjeros, while engines would require men to operate them. J. C. Sheppard favored pumping plants, saying the company had either to develop more water or go out of business. Other companies are installing pumping plants and he thought they were a good thing. A. T. Pendleton offered a few level-headed suggestions to the board. He said the absence of a quorum was an expression of confidence in the old board. The board had done well the past year, yet there was much work for it to do in the year to come. The report of the board of audit showed water sales during the past year to have been nearly $26,000, an increase of $5000. The report shows the company's finances to be in tiptop condition. For the first time in years there has been no word of objection to the old board. Instead, there is praise. And that is the principal reason there was no quorum at the meeting. It is stated on authority that J. P. Zeyn will shortly resign from the board, owing to ill health, and that Frank Shanley will be appointed in his place. CHAMBER OF COMMERCE AT ANNUAL BANQUET Seventy Members and Guests Sit Down to Sumptuous Spread New Directors Elected Members of the Chamber of Commerce enjoyed their annual banquet at the Commercial hotel on Thursday evening. The party gathered at the rooms of the chamber at 7:30 o'clock and inspected the fine display of exhibits, previous to marching in force to the hotel. The Anaheim band was present and favored the assemblage with a number of selections. Arriving at the hotel, the first business taken up was the election of seven new directors. From the number placed in nomination the following growth of Anaheim," G. W. Foor to "Observations." P. H. Krick spoke on "The Future of Anaheim," I. Asher on "Comparisons," M. L. Rogers spoke upon the efficient work of the chamber. Edgar Johnson responded to the toast "Anaheim," and Dr. H. A. Johnston, "The Ladies." Vocal solos were rendered during the evening by Herman Dickel, Welborn Wallop and F. L. Dautrich. Peeping Tom Shot At. Residents in the eastern part of town were startled about nine o'clock Tuesday evening at reports of a revolver fired twice in rapid succession. It was learned Monday morning that the shots were fired at a peeping Tom, who for some time past has been annoying a family residing on Broadway. The family consists of a lady and her two daughters. For some time past a person has been prowling about their residence. A box in the yard has been found first under one window and then under another, showing the intruder had been using it to assist him in his attempts to see within. On Sunday evening he was heard at one of the windows. It happened that a young gentleman was visiting at the house and taking a revolver he walked outside to learn the identity of the intruder. The night was quite foggy, but he was able to discern the form of a man crouching down at the side of the house. He blazed away at the fellow who jumped up and ran, making his escape out of a side gate. Another shot was sent after him but without effect. It was impossible to identify him in the fog but it was seen that he was about medium build and wore a long overcoat.

Ildefonse Villareca, a Mexican living at Talbert, was arrested at Santa Ana on Saturday night by Deputy Sheriff Lacy and Constable Smithwick for stealing a horse and buggy a week ago belonging to R.
