CALIFORNIA STATE LIBRARY VOLUME XXXVI ANAHEM NO QUORUM PRESENT AT ANNUAL MEETING Informal Discussion About the Yorba Reservoir—Mr. Hale on Local Jealousies The annual stockholders meeting on Saturday was strangely dissimilar to those local irrigators have held in the past, albeit there were signs of similarity to that of a year ago. There was no quorum, there being less than a score of stockholders present. As was the case a year ago, no attempt had been made to gather proxies, and proxies, are, it seem, necessary to a quorum. Stockholders will not, it seems, take the trouble to come out to a meeting, unless something more important than the election of new directors is the drawing card. While the present board is weak in spots, there seems to be no concerted effort to replace weak timber with new blood. President Crowther called the meeting to order at 10:30, and a call of the roll by Secretary Krick showed only 843 shares out of a total of upward of some experience in pumme said the plant up the river be left alone even if elec used.

While the present board is weak in spots, there seems to be no concerted effort to replace weak timber with new blood. President Crowther called the meeting to order at 10:30, and a call of the roll by Secretary Krick showed only 843 shares out of a total of upward of 8000—a fraction more than ten percent of the whole. The chair announced that no quorum was present, but that an informal discussion of matters engaging the stockholders' attention would be in order. Secretary Krick read the report of the board of audit, which was published in these columns last week. The report is being printed in book form and will be issued from this office the latter part of the week. Mrs. John Hart, one of the heaviest stockholders in the company, who had come from Los Angeles to attend the meeting, asked for information concerning the pumping plant up the river. The cost of this plant is $10,000. Mrs. Hart was of opinion that electricity or gasoline was cheaper than steam, and asked if the directors had not investigated the employment of electrical energy before putting in a steam plant. Mr. Sherwood said the company had not. In the first place there was no pole line near the site of the plant, and after due consideration of the subject the directors had arrived at the opinion that steam was as cheap if not cheaper in the long run. To the statement that with an electrical motor, energy could be turned on and the services of an engineer dispensed with, Mr. Krick, who has had Anaheim Cash Grocery Center St., opposite Boston Bakery.

The gathering was one of the largest and most representative bodies of citizens of this and neighboring towns ever held in this city. At 7:30 the people assembled at the exhibit rooms where the products of the soil were displayed. The exhibits made an imposing spectacle and evoked encomiums of praise. The city band was in attendance and discoursed martial music and later headed the throng on the march to the banqueting rooms.

Arriving in the spacious lodgeroom the band again favored the assemblage with choice selections and was heartily applauded. Richard Melrose announced that the election of a new board of directors to serve for the ensuing year was in order. Herman Dickel was chosen to act as chairman and was escorted to the rostrum by Fred Ahlborn. Nominations for directors were called for and the names of the following gentlemen were presented: W. H. Spake, T. S. Armstrong, E. W. McCollum, J. H. Clabaugh, Mr. Cailor, Chas. Boege, F. Yungbluth and Henry Adams. The latter declined and as seven only were to be elected the chairman announced the seven first named duly elected by unanimous vote. The new large and handsome register—a donation to the chamber of commerce—was brought forth and the names of all present were enrolled upon its pages. To the sweet strains of music the prominade within the assembly room was begun and from there the guests marched into the banquet hall. Long tables laden with the weight of good things awaited the sharpened appetites. Toastmaster Melrose in a brief address bade the guests welcome at the festal board and facetiously observed that while all the male attendants had no doubt been sparingly served from the family larder during the day by the frugal helpmeet (such, the toastmaster remarked being his experience), it would be well to commence the discussion of the toothsome viands instanter. The room was tastefully decorated and the banqueters were all in happy and reminiscent mood. The menu contained the delicacies of the season and the sumptuous repast was done full justice to. At its conclusion Toastmaster Melrose announced that other good things were in store for those present in the shape of speechifying and the flow of oratory and effervescent wit.

Mr. Melrose in presenting those responding to the toasts of the evening, pre-faced his remarks with his usual forceful language and indulged in repartee that was provocative of much merriement. All were in happy mien and good cheer reigned supreme. President Ahlborn of the retiring board was first introduced and delivered his annual review of work accomplished by the chamber of commerce. The document dealt in detail of acts performed for the betterment of our city and proved what can be accomplished by an enterprising and progressive chamber. The retiring board turn over the affairs of the organization in good shape to their successors and are deserving of thanks for their untiring labors for the upbuilding of the town. The membership is 85 and the treasury is in a plethoric condition. Mr. Kerr, president of the Fullerton chamber of commerce responded to the toast, "Our Twin Cities." Mr. Kerr is a logical, forceful and fluent talker and spoke of the progress of his fast growing city and paid a handsome tribute to our own. This valley is being peopled by wide-awake, progressive citizens and is destined to become a place of renown. The speaker spoke in glowing terms of the possibilities that await the tilling of the soil and counselled the working in unison of the two fair little cities. Mr. Kerr was listened to with wrap attention and was heartily applauded. Wm. Schwenckert, member of the board of city trustees, spoke of "Our out to these functions they should.

West, who is conducting a series of experiments at Whittier into the walnut blight, was to have been in attendance at the farmers' institute at Fullerton, but was unable, owing to illness in his family, to be present. His paper upon the results so far accomplished was forwarded Mr. Neff and was read at the institute as follows: In regard to my work on the walnut blight, I have several cultures of the walnut blight organism growing in the laboratory. I find it very easy to obtain pure cultures of this organism from diseased nuts, blighted spots on the wood, etc. Cultures are obtained in this way: I go out in the orchard and bring in some diseased material, then place a small portion of it in a tube of sterile bouillon, leave at room temperature for at least forty-eight hours, or until medium becomes clouded, then make three gelatin plates from the bouillon.

Grim made a very entertaining press on "Building." He showed by uses the gradual increase in the number of buildings erected in this past few years until now the truth is most substantial. The outfit for the future is promising and a faithful city is here destined to grow. Pastmaster Melrose next introduced Father Dubbel, one of the clothier Dubbel did not know he was to called upon but proved equal to the nation. Being a deep and profounder his auditors listened to a theme religious doctrine that was deliver-a masterful way. Father Dubbel upon the good church work belong in this city and spoke of the land well-kept church yards and of worship. His address was polarly effort and one appreciated by Prof. Walker, principal of the high school, responded to the toast, "Our tools." The schools are in an exalt condition. The rating of the school with the State university is the very best. Prof. Walker said foundation upon which all progress communities should stand should composed of good land, water, trees and schools. The schools compare favorably with those of other larger cities. Prof. Walastly criticised the lack of inter-town on the part of citizens when trainments are given by the schooling league. These debates bring better class of people to town and good advertisement for the city. Some people however do not turn to these functions as readily as should.

Colonies develop rapidly on these plates and from an isolated colony I make a pure culture of the bacteria. Appearance of a colony on gelatin, three days old: bright yellow in color, spherical in shape, one-half centimetre in diameter, contour fairly regular, inner portion of colony more yellow than outer. Examined with the microscope, magnified one thousand times, the organism is a small bacillus with rounded ends, occurring in pairs and occasionally in chains, and is motile. Prof. Smith and I are now planning a series of experiments in combating the walnut blight. At least 60 acres of full-grown trees are to be sprayed. The sprying is to be done at three different times. First, just before the trees leaf out in the spring, then immediately after the leaves and tender shoots come out, and for the last time about the first of July. Three different spraying compounds are to be used, possibly more. The trees which are to be sprayed have been labeled and under my observation since last summer; records have been made of the amount of blight or disease on them; the size of the crop; the abundance or scantiness of foliage; and other differences which were observed. The sixty acres have been divided into twenty blocks of trees, each block numbered, and in the spraying experiments some blocks will be sprayed once, others twice, others three times, and some will be left as checks. After being sprayed the trees will be examined frequently throughout the season and from our records we can accurately determine any improvement in size of crop, or freedom from disease. From our series of spraying experiments we shall have the results of different sprays at different times, and from these results we hope to find a spraying mixture which, if applied at the proper time, will prove effective Krick's response to "The Laperhaps was the hit of the even-aging by the expressions of de-depicted upon the countenances he gentler sex there assembled the entertaining narrator waxedent in their praise.

However, he observed that thing comes to him who waits, there is yet hope for his reclamation. He said he is not yet passed the ageable age, and it may not be for fond mammas to make note of fact when looking about for a active son-in-law.
