FESTIVE SCENES AT BANQUET Large Attendance Present, Elaborate Spread, and Happy Responses to Toasts. One hundred and thirty guests sat down to the annual banquet of the chamber of commerce at Odd Fellows' banquet hall on Wednesday evening. It was the largest and most distinguished affair of the kind during the year. A sumptuous repast was prepared, which was well served and done full justice to by those seated at the festal board. Guests began arriving at 8 o'clock. They gathered in the large assembly hall, and engaged in social converse for an hour. The city band discoursed music outside the hall while members of the chamber of commerce and their guests arrived, and later the orchestra rendered a suitable musical program in the assembly hall. H. A. Dickel sang with excellent effect "King of the Vikings," a barytone solo of charming melody, and to calls for an encore responded with "The Kissing Song," a dainty musical composition which was very well received. Richard Melrose, toastmaster of the banquet hall, here announced that he had just been informed the tables had been spread, and awaited the oncoming of the guests. They absolutely groaning under their weight of good things, he said, and the assemblage was invited to repair thither and be seated at the table. The march to the banqueting room was taken up, and on entering the hall three long tables, with another extending across the hall at their head, were seen to verify the announcement made of them, for never was a richer or Sister City, Fullerton," and Stern responded to "The Law." The assemblage joined America, and dispersed. MR. SPAKE ON PROCESS Retiring President of the Chamber of Commerce view of City's Advantage W. H. Spake, retiring ply the chamber of commerce on evening upon the progress made city during the year. His absence upon one of the many interesting objects discussed at the banquet elected the closest attention as follows: Mr: Toastmaster, Ladies and men: I was once a member of organization which appointed me to do a certain work. Next meeting of the organ curred the committee should at least half of the work accord But owing to indolence, position, and some of the other that afflict our imperfect they had done absolutely no everybody in the organization that nothing had been done. Standing this, when the reprint committee was called for, it gravely arose and said, "progress." This produced from all hands, but the subcommittee members was rather ish. It makes a lot of different you report "Progress," we not, as the saying goes, "You with the goods." had just been informed the tables had been spread, and awaited the oncoming of the guests. They absolutely groaning under their weight of good things, he said, and the assemblage was invited to repair thither and be seated at the table. The march to the banqueting room was taken up, and on entering the hall three long tables, with another extending across the hall at their head, were seen to verify the announcement made of them, for never was a richer or more elaborate repast set by the organization acting as host of the evening. An hour was devoted to discussing the good things on the tables, consisting of fresh oysters, cold meats, ham, tongue, salads, cake and coffee, and while many were engaged in a heoric endeavor to make away with the goodly store set before them, the call of the toastmaster broke in upon them. "It has been suggested," he said, "that if I wait until you are all through eating before calling for responses to the toasts prepared for the evening, there will be no such responses until after midnight. So I am going to call for the first speaker. But don't stop eating. You just go ahead eating, and I'll go ahead talking." This witty beginning called forth a burst of laughter, which was followed during the evening by the many humorous observations of the toastmaster kept the gathering in best of humor. W. H. Spake was the first speaker. He responded to the toast, "Progress of the City During the Year." He spoke of the development of the community during the twelvemonth, and urged the new board of directors of the chamber of commerce to be alive to the issues confronting it. His address will be found printed in another column. J. F. Ahlborn spoke upon the subject, "The City of Anaheim," referring eloquently to the Mother Colony and her past deeds, which entitle her to a place among the foremost localities of the commonwealth. "Neither the fancy of a Robert Louis Stevensen nor the platitudes of a Demostheres could do justice to the subject," the speaker said. The address drew forth loud applause. C. C. Chapman responded to the toast, "The Forests." He spoke at length, in his usual clear-headed and convincing manner, California, he said, produced the largest trees in everybody in the organiza- that nothing had been done.

"Neither the fancy of a Robert Louis Stevensen nor the platitudes of a Demostheres could do justice to the subject," the speaker said. The address drew forth loud applause. C. C. Chapman responded to the toast, "The Forests." He spoke at length, in his usual clear-headed and convincing manner, California, he said, produced the largest trees in the world, and he considered conditions ideal for propagation of the brightest and best men and women. He was always impressed with the grandeur of the forests. It brought one nearer to the Creator. He referred to the influences of forests upon the rainfall, taking up the more practical subject of reforestation and saying it possessed the greatest importance to the people of this and other counties of Southern California. Prof. J. F. Walker spoke upon "The Schools," and gave statistics showing the growth of the schools of the state during the past few years. He took occasion to enter forcible protest to the opening of a projected street through the high school grounds, adding the high school should have five acres, whereas now it has only two. One of these acres was recently purchased at a cost of $600. To open a street through this tract would be an act of great injustice to the school and community. A. A. Mills responded to the toast "Greater Anaheim," among the best addresses of the evening. He urged outsiders to come into the municipality, pointing out that their taxes would be lessened, and picturing the benefits of increased city boundaries. C. E. Holcomb responded to "Our City, Fullerton," and Herman responded to "The Ladies." Assemblage joined in singing, and dispersed. SPAKE ON PROGRESS Long President of Chamof Commerce Gives Review of City's Advancement Spake, retiring president of member of commerce, spoke at unual banquet on Wednesday upon the progress made by the long the year. His address was of the many interesting subcussed at the banquet, and the closest attention. He spoke as: Castmaster, Ladies and Gentlewas once a member of an organ which appointed a commiteer a certain work. When the rating of the organization occuse committee should have had half of the work accomplished. going to indolence, procrastinanal some of the other failings act our imperfect humanity, done absolutely nothing. And any in the organization knew thing had been done. Notwiththis, when the report of the me was called for, its chairman carose and said, "We report" This produced a smile in hands, but the smile of the members was rather sheepmakes a lot of difference when port "Progress," whether or he saying goes, "You are there goods." A movement has been started to have Center and Los Angeles streets paved, and to enlarge the city limits. The petition for the paving of these two streets has been presented to the city trustees, and they have very properly desired time for the laying of the water mains on these streets before taking this matter up. The proposed extension of the city limits is only another evidence of the progress we are reporting. Many other gains and improvements might easily be mentioned, but these amply show the continued growth and increase in our facilities for business and comfortable living, and warrant us in taking a decidedly rosy view of the future. It is a pleasure to acknowledge, with hearty thanks, the co-operation and financial support we have received from the city trustees and other citi-zens of Anaheim at all times when we were compelled to call upon them for money to help us along in our work. The city trustees, as we all know, are doing a great work, and still have a great deal before them to do; but there is one thing of which we may all feel proud, and that is that they are very capable of doing—and doing well—all that comes before them. They deserve honor and credit for their faithfulness to the trust reposed in them. The chamber of commerce occupies a field of its own. There is a great deal of work that can be done for the good of the city and surrounding countryside, that the city trustees have not time to take up and carry through. The two bodies often work together in the furtherance of some project, and I want to say that in every such case the chamber of commerce and the city trustees have been in entire harmony. To all those who have not given the chamber of commerce much thought, I want to say that even if it does no great special work, it well deserves the support of all citizens, because it is al- before have great pleasure in partial report of the progress him during the past year, for the facts and figures to back the year 1906 there were a total of 54 buildings—48 resided 6 business blocks.

The two bodies often work together in the furtherance of some project, and I want to say that in every such case the chamber of commerce and the city trustees have been in entire harmony. To all those who have not given the chamber of commerce much thought, I want to say that even if it does no great special work, it well deserves the support of all citizens, because it is always on duty for the good of Anaheim. It represents what every man hearing of Anaheim from a distance, inquiring by mail, or traveling over the state in personal examination, expects to find in every active town—an organization having a daily accessible office, with a secretary who can give him information regarding any business opening in the city, or the resources of the county, and make him acquainted with people whom he desires to meet. Let us therefore do our best to support the executive committee elected for the ensuing year, and so help it to show better results than any yet attained. We are all a part of Anaheim, and the progress of the city is our progress. Civic pride and personal interest therefore alike urge us to earnestly aid by sympathy and financial support an organization which is ever on the lookout for that which will increase the wealth of the city, enhance its beauty, and make it known to all the world as a good place to live and do business.

G's, under the caption "Jumpin' Most people know that if they have been sick they need Scott's Emulsion to bring back health and strength. But the strongest point about Scott's Emulsion is that you don't have to be sick to get results from it. It keeps up the athlete's strength, puts fat on thin people, makes a fretful baby happy, brings color to a pale girl's cheeks, and prevents coughs, colds and consumption.
