After discussion it was moved to pass the matter up to the city trustees. Secretary Michod wrote the town board aent enforcing the dog tax ordinance.

The telegram was sent A collection of rare bird Secretary Michod wrote the town board aent enforcing the dog tax ordinance. One director averred a Mexican family kept a dozen or fifteen dogs, much to his discomfiture and anguish of mind. Kill the vagabond curs, was the slogan. The arranging of new signboards for the depots remains in abeyance. The directors have not as yet hit upon what they want and more time was granted. Special Committeeman Melrose, in reference to securing financial aid from the county toward cleaning the channel of the Santa Ana river, asked for data regarding same. The desired suggestions will be forthcoming. The gashouse committee was present in force to present its report. Dr. Johnston was spokesman and addressed the board in felicitous manner upon the all-absorbing subject. The report in writing, was in effect that the gas plant should not be located in proximity to the residence or business sections of the city. The report was accepted and the committee continued. The gentlemen will investigate the location proposition further, with the end in view that an amicable adjustment of the matter between the gas-plant people and property owners may be arrived at. J. B. Rea of the committee appointed to attend the water congress held in Los Angeles, addressed the chamber upon the deliberations of that important assemblage. The congress was one of the grandest gatherings of representative men ever brought together. The discussions and papers read were of the eminent kind and were of vast interest to the multitude present. The conservation of water was the paramount theme and each dissertation ever held that end in view. By way of illustration the learned gentlemen pointed out that too much water raises a poorer quality of orange; proper fertilization with green peas, for instance, will save water, and the placing of meters even on the water mains in the city of Los Angeles saves that town 500 inches of water daily. A wonderful food for thought! As full of meat as a nut! And so the arguments were pursued, ever looking to the saving of the precious fluid. Mr. Rea was outspoken in his praise of the hospitality accorded him. He was dined at the California Rain Interferes With Ball out that too much water raises a poorer quality of orange; proper fertilization with green peas, for instance, will save water, and the placing of meters even on the water mains in the city of Los Angeles saves that town 500 inches of water daily. A wonderful food for thought! As full of meat as a nut! And so the arguments were pursued, ever looking to the saving of the precious fluid. Mr. Rea was outspoken in his praise of the hospitality accorded him. He was dined at the California club, where the subject uppermost was water, and in fact it was water, water everywhere except just before the sumptuous meal, when, ahem, it was something a little stronger! But it was a great water congress, Rea said, and he wished we all could have been there. The printing committee, Messrs. Miller and Wallop, presented some very handsome designs for the adornment of an envelope, from the artistic pen of Fred Dautrichs. It is for advertising purposes. The designs depict grouped products emblematic of the section. Very pretty. Judge Howard spoke up, lauding the work highly, but inclined to the belief that a combine of photographs of clusters of our various fruits would better encompass the end sought in that it would be original—not to be duplicated. Pete Weisel submitted lithographic designs. The whole was referred to the committee, who will again delve into the matter and see what they can decide on. Mr. Harris railroad resolution remains still on the table. C. O. Rust sent nice letter acknowledging appointment as delegate to water congress. He attended. It was grand. The other delegate, Mr. Krick, it was said was seen in town upon that occa- Committees so far appointed By Adams—W. B. Hutchinson Falkenstein. By Miller—B. W. By Grim—Herr Kohlenberger.

The bill appropriates $20,000 for the experiment farm and $10,000 for the laboratory. The latter will be erected in some town in Southern California. The building will be a frame structure costing about $5000. Anaheim has entered the lists as offering the most advantageous site for this institution. The chamber of commerce and business men generally have taken active interest in the project, and an offer of a free site will be made the commission. Anaheim is entitled to this enterprise. It is the Mother Colony. A half century ago the Pioneers, holding aloft the torch of advancement and prosperity, planted here the seeds of that horticultural wealth that has blossomed and spread until California's fame as a veritable Garden of Eden has spread to the uttermost confines of the earth. Walnut trees were planted here nearly fifty years ago which are growing in splendid luxuriance today. Orange plantations were planted here long before Riverside and Redlands were hewn out of the trackless woods. The success which attended the efforts of those hardy pioneers who first made the desert blossom as the rose has spread and taken root in a hundred different places. We held aloft the torch emblazoning the opulent possibilities of the soil; others profited by our example, until the fame of the great state of California extends around the world. Diseases and pests have come to prey upon orange and walnut trees, upon celery and tomato plants, and upon trees and plants of one order and another. The legislature has passed a bill, which the governor has signed, appropriating $30,000 for the establishment of a laboratory where these diseases may be studied to the end that losses sustained by growers may be reduced to a minimum. Anaheim wants that laboratory. Here is the ideal location. We grow oranges, walnuts, tomatoes and other fruits and vegetables all about us, and the peatland celery fields are only a few miles away. Here is where the laboratory should be located. The commission which will select a site is composed of Gov. Pardee, Benj. Ide Wheeler and Prof. E. J. Wickson and there is a good chance party. S. O.

Here is where the laboratory should be located. The commission which will select a site is composed of Gov. Pardee, Benj. Ide Wheeler and Prof. E. J. Wickson of the state university. Mr. Neff of this city is entitled to credit for his unremitting labors to secure the passage of the laboratory bill. He was sent to Sacramento twice as a representative of the chambers of commerce and boards of trade in Southern California to assist in framing the bill, and he has had several conferences with the governor and the other members of the commission relative to the subject under discussion. No man in the state is entitled to greater credit for framing and passing the bill than our worthy fellow-townsman. His reward for his work will come in due time. Probably a dozen places in Southern California will be after the laboratory, offering sites of one order and another. Anaheim salutes them, and modestly announces her purpose of offering, free of all cost a site for the station in the heart of the citrus and walnut growing district. MASS MEETING ON MONDAY EVENING A mass meeting of citizens, to be held under auspices of the chamber of commerce, will assemble at the city hall on Monday evening, for the purpose of discussing the matter of securing the laboratory for this city.

The superintendent was instructed to complete the sandgate No. 2 according to the plans and under the supervision of the ditch committee. A petition from D. Stark for the privilege of purchasing fifteen barrels cement was granted. Applications for the transfer of stock were granted with the exception of that of A. Bissell to Carolina E. Adams which is not to be transferred until the decree of distribution of the estate of A. Bissell is submitted to our attorney and the transfer approved by him. Bids were received for the putting in of wells near the head of the Anaheim ditch from the following parties, namely, Hallstrom Well Drilling Co., Santa Ana, H. F. Gansner, San Bernardino, and Meloy & Lypps, Corona. The matter of making an agreement for the construction of the required wells was Walker was a visitor to Los Angeles Monday.

This is a collection of the best and most valuable reproductions of beautiful paintings in existence. It also contains large and fine photographs of many historic scenes and places. Some of the copies of paintings are in color and are very valuable. This exhibit comes from Boston and was secured for Anaheim by the united efforts of the teachers of both schools. It will be on exhibition in Jack's hall March 28 and 29 from 2 to 5 and from 7 to 10 p.m. also Wednesday morning from 10 to 12. Excellent musical programs, each entirely different, have been provided from the best local talent for the evenings. Committees of ladies have kindly consented to receive informally at the exhibit during the day. The tickets have been placed at the low price of 10 cents for children and 15 cents for adults. It is felt that there are many people who have interest enough in our schools to purchase a number of tickets when the price is so low, and as the entire net proceeds of the exhibit will be used to decorate the rooms with good inspiring pictures, a thing which the best educators concede to be one of the best object lessons. But those who do not wish to do this will be well repaid if they attend both evenings not only by the opportunity for more careful study of the pictures but by the diversity of entertainment. The committee on entertainment has worked hard and each of the evening programs alone will be worth more than double the admission. The time during which the ladies will be in charge will have its social attraction... Parker has sold out his busication in circulation for the apport of C. B. Scott as postmaster. Mrs. J.
