RIVAL BANK TALK SUBJECT OF INTEREST Town Will Probably Have Three Banks If Present Plans are Carried Into Effect A very pretty game is now on between projectors of the proposed rival bank and stockholders of the First National regarding the banking situation in this city. The town has had but a single bank, which has flourished and made money for its stockholders, but the recent increase in population and business in the community is responsible for bringing to the fore a plan, which has been under discussion for a year or more, for establishing a rival bank. At the time of the organization of the First National many were of opinion that the older bank would continue in business, and thus give the town two banking institutions. However, when H. Cahen disposed of his interest in the old institution, that bank went out of existence, and the First National rode the waves of the to have a final talk upon busiMeantime affairs seem to ed themselves much as they have been for some time past that another bank will prob-ganized by local moneyed me any outside assistance, in future. Within a few weeks past wealthiest men in this vicin a well known business man will act as president of a will guarantee to raise $50,000 stock in two days." The offer was taken unment and may be acted u time. The object is to have a first man for president, and to cashier a competent and e banker with a thorough kn all branches of the business Holcomb has been in com with local men regarding th and possibly could throw s esting light on the situation. HOLCOMB ARRIVE C. E. Holcomb arrived evening from his asparagus at Thermal. He is said to in conference with Los An talists at one of the banks i Meeting of citizens interest formation of a new comm was held in this city Tuesday ble for bringing to the fore a plan, which has been under discussion for a year or more, for establishing a rival bank. At the time of the organization of the First National many were of opinion that the older bank would continue in business, and thus give the town two banking institutions. However, when H. Cahen disposed of his interest in the old institution, that bank went out of existence, and the First National rode the waves of the financial sea with no other craft in sight. There has existed since a purpose on the part of a number of local moneyed men for the establishment of another bank here, and at various times during the past two years outside capitalists have been in consultation with them with a view to organizing another bank. Last November it appeared the new institution would soon be a reality, but announcement of the formation of a savings bank, backed by stockholders of the existing bank, seems to have frightened the outside investors away, leaving local men the more determined to have another bank here at no distant day. The savings bank, it seems did not get beyond first newspaper reports concerning it, and nothing has since been heard concerning it. Twice during the past month representatives of different syndicates have been here looking over the field, and each has pronounced the town and surrounding country offering a most favorable field for such enterprise. A gentleman of the name of T. F. Bailey of Los Angeles has visited the town several times during the past two weeks, and has driven throughout the county with Godfrey Stock and others interviewing men upon the question of another bank. He was also in consultation with townspeople, and makes the statement that he has yet to find a single objector to his project. Mr. Bailey represents Los Angeles and Pasadena capitalists who are anxious to start a bank in this growing community, but while he has met many men and had nice talks with them, he has not made material advances in the direction of a rival bank. However his coming has resulted in the organization of at least one new savings bank, with a capital stock of $25,000, backed by stockholders of the First National. HOLCOMB ARRIVED C. E. Holcomb arrived evening from his asparagus at Thermal. He is said to be in conference with Los Annalists at one of the banks. Meeting of citizens interested formation of a new company was held in this city Tuesday at which the project was disbanded. It was said yesterday that deciding to solicit stock bank and that application charter would be made. WATER DIRECTORS Regular meeting of the Directors of the Anaheim U company with the following present, namely Crowther, Hale, Kraemer, Sherwood mont and Zeyn. Zeyn reported having lumber for the bridge at the place and that the bridge has structured in satisfactory manner. Further time was granted committee on the matter of Ana and the Witmer ditche. The finance committee re-amounting to $4532 92 with cash $7042 57.

However his coming has resulted in the organization of at least one new savings bank, with a capital stock of $25,000, backed by stockholders of the First National. While Bailey was driving about the community talking about his new bank, John Hartung, vice president of the First National, circulated a petition for stock in the new savings bank and seems to have had no difficulty in securing enough stockholders to put that institution under way. The entire stock of $25,000 was subscribed within three days, with the following shareholders: J. P. Zeyn, Jos. Dauser, John Hartung, A. Fuhrberg, Chas. McKinley, Richard Melrose, Frank Baum, J. Cassou, B. V. Beebe, S. Kistler, Chas. Federman, Dr. H. A. Johnston, A. L. Lewis, A. V. Smith, A. Nagle, A. S. Bradford, Frank Shanley, Wm. Crowther, C. O. Rust, W. L. Hale, P. H. Krick, Dr. J. H. Houch, Jacob Everhardy. The new savings bank, it is announced, will occupy the present quarters of the First National when that bank moves into its new location, some time this summer. Mr. Bailey was again in town on Saturday. He seemed to be taken somewhat by surprise at the formation of the savings bank, but was undecided as to whether it would interfere with his enterprise. He was in consultation with several of the projectors of the contemplated new bank, and on his return to Los Angeles in the evening announced his purpose of coming again Alvin Pinder of this city associates have purchased the National vinegar and plums at Los Angeles.

He is said to have beenence with Los Angeles capi-one of the banks in that city. Of citizens interested in the man of a new commercial bank in this city Tuesday evening OLINDAS DEFEAT HOEGEES The Olinda stars redeemed their lost laurels at athletic park Sunday afternoon when they gathered in the Hoegee Flags, the game being without doubt the most exciting and interesting of the season. The score stood 7 to 6. It looked bad for Old Man Crips and his satellites during their four-inning attempt to get under the wire and there was nothing doing for them until the fifth. The Hoegees planted a run in the fourth and in the fifth landed four more. Just think of it. And it looked squally to the local fans. It may be attributed to this breach of etiquette on the part of the Flags that caused the oil boys to unlimber. During the fifth Crips endeared himself to the bleachers by starting to bring home the money first, but his gallant feat was bedimmed by what followed. Two more Olinda lads planted themselves on the first and second sacks, when Lewis with his big stick hove in sight. He caused the Hoegees to see things by swinging onto a three-bagger, amid the wildest cheering, landing the two runners before him, and on a sacrifice scoring himself. A run by Collins filtered through before retirement, making five, and tieing the score. The sixth was an uneventful performance for and he gathered in the with neatness and dispatch. Meats' receiving work he rarely let any hit the caught some fouls that was a Texas steer. Third baseman Head made clever stops and throws though he was butted by base runner. Head, if he headed, ought to go to th. Joe Burke took up a going to help defray expenses much mirth by his sage baseball lore. Crips pitched a good passing but 2 men and str. A neat double was part Head, Isbell and Lewis. E. J. Morrison umpire giving satisfaction to both. The collection was not should have been consider crowd and the article of up by both teams. The Olindas play the Angeles next Sunday in hard game is expected. The Hoegee lads are play ball from the tap of come again.

ER DIRECTORS MEET Aer meeting of the Board of Directors of the Anaheim Union Water Co. with the following members namely Crowther, Bradford, Craemer, Sherwood, McDernal Zeyn. Reported having purchased for the bridge at the Raessler and that the bridge has been con- tin satisfactory manner. Ater time was granted the ditch see on the matter of the Santa Clara Witmer ditches. Finance committee reported bills due to $4532 92 with available 42 57. Action of Bradford the report of finance committee was accepted grants ordered drawn in pay-the various amounts as therein ended and in addition thereto swing bills were ordered paid:anchez $6 55, T. Montgomery Magel $13 65, and the George note for $600. Report of the secretary was on received and filed. The reports treasurer and superintendent both received and filed.

Two more Olinda lads planted themselves on the first and second sacks, when Lewis with his big stick hove in sight. He caused the Hoegees to see things by swinging onto a three-bagger, amid the wildest cheering, landing the two runners before him, and on a sacrifice scoring himself. A run by Collins filtered through before retirement, making five, and tieing the score. The sixth was an uneventful performance for either side and the foothillers suffered the same fate in the seventh, but the Hoegees by dint of clever playing scored again. The internecene struggle continued. The game at this stage was most distressing to the local boys and some of their most ardent admirers hoped to be hypnotised to avoid witnessing the slaughter. The eighth came unattended by any run-getting, still leaving the visiting lads favorites by the longest kinds of odds. The rooters looked as though a saturated Navajo had suddenly fallen upon them, and seemed to be thinking of some plausible excuse to offer in admitting an apparently inevitable defeat—would blame the umpire’s favoritism for it for instance—and settled down to take their medicine like a man. But there was just one more hope. The ninth inning came on and the Hoegees were again beautifully retired. The gang that had been hanging onto the barb wires pushed out, began to yell, pulled up great big bunches of grass and began pelting each other with the tufts of emerald green, and yelled again and then some. Anything to disconcert the poor pitcher from the angelic burg. Even “Bookie” unlunged. In fact some of the grandstand patrons who never have been known to emit an out-cry, rared up on their hind legs and added to the din. Gamble was in dire straits and looked as though he wanted to go home. He showed signs of rattling some. Elwell came to bat and sent the ball away over ever so far in left field for a three bagger and scored on Meats’ sacrifice. The excitement now permeated every nook and corner. Crips came up but died at first. Lewis picked off a stiff one for two sacks. It was getting fierce. Head came to the plate and tore the hide off of the sphere and sent the other man home. Head saved the day and the game ended. No more tallies being needed the contest did not progress further and the ground disperred. Superintendent’s Note To the Board of Direc- heim Union Water Co.

Hugh Larue has exchanged his ranch here for a grocery in Pasadena and has taken possession. Murrill Larue will take a position in the store. The highly indelectable dobe itch, said to run the seven-year variety a close second, has been afflicting some of the residents, and it has been no respecter of persons. However at latest reports it has spent its force. Rev. Dr. Corbin of the Congregational gave an interesting address on Labor at the church. Revival meetings are being held at the Methodist church. Rev. Bogard, of Los Angeles, leads the services, and is assisted by Rev. Hubbard. Many conversions are being recorded. Several dogs have been seen of evenings going kilyieing up the street with receptacles of tin dangling at their caudal appendages, much to the chagrin of the staid and proper members of society. Fun for the boys, though, and the dogs pay the freight. Arthur Smith a grammar schoolboy is in training and will enter the field meet at Prager park, Los Angeles, on April 8th to compete for medals offered by a Los Angeles newspaper. Arthur is considered one of the best in his line. Through the courtesy of W. J. Smith a representative of the Gazette was shown through the creamery. A vast maze of machinery greets the eye upon entering and the departments are each in charge of competent managers. Thirty thousand pounds of milk daily is received and the factory runs seven days a week: Everything about the premises is scrupulously clean and the cream produced is pronounced the best of its kind in the world. The department where the cans are made is perhaps one of the most interesting. The sheets of tin are mechanically started on their evolutions to perfection, here to be punched by machines deftly operated by young ladies, there to be solder- Santa Ana city council transacted on items of business that are of uninterest at its meeting on Monday evening. The first was the selling of electric light bonds voted some years ago for installing a municipal public lighting and power plant. The sale was sold at par and accrued interest. Publication was received from the engineer of the Pacific Electric Company, stating that the company had agreed to put down its tracks on the street in advance of the build-off of the line from Los Angeles to Santa Ana in order that the property be along that thoroughfare might be paved with the paving of the street. Street is in a deplorable condition. Engineer said the company would ready to commence work about the end of May, and requested that the thirty owners arrange matters so their portion of the work could commence at the same time. Huntington Beach will have electric lights, provision for this improvement having been completed by the Huntington beach company, and the work of installing will soon begin. The service will include illumination for the streets, wharf, pavilion, business and residence houses where desired. The enterprise speaks well for the town.
