PEPPER GROWERS MEET Will Form Association to Improve Quality of Product and Better the Market. Improved quality of chile peppers, as well as the betterment of prevailing market conditions, were the keynote of a meeting of chile growers at the chamber of commerce on Saturday evening. The fact that a large proportion of last year's crop is yet in the hands of growers and brokers, while the price of 19 cents per pound prevailing two years ago, as against 7 cents at the present time, emphasizes the necessity for action to relieve these conditions. Allan Knapp presided, and there were present J. Bayha, John Brunworth, R. M. Fay, William and Edward Thompson, H. E. Hunt, C. E. Jones, A. A. Mills, John Kymann, Mr. Owen, W. C. Mauerhan, H. H. Pierce, I. Clemens, Messrs. Kennah, Allen, Huerim, J. M. Pickering of the Southern Pacific, C. G. McKinley, representing a Los Angeles house which desires to handle the pepper output, and others. ject which should engage attract growers throughout the district personally he said he would reacreage one half. He called for pression of opinion from those relative to the best methods in order to relieve the situation confronting them. Mr. Bayha suggested that association of growers be formed, unless market conditions proved he would not plant any this year at all. The question of forming an association, founded on line walnut growers' association,cussed by Messrs. Mills, Mr. Brunworth, Pierce, Jones and Mr. Mills favored erecting a drying house at some centre where peppers could be properly paired for the market. Answer statement that such a house would the growers $15,000 he show $900 per year would pay into this amount. An increase of a cent a pound on all peppers given this district would pay this fee. He argued that an association such a packing-house, which was maintained similar to the orang walnut packing-house, would provide solution of the problem now coming growers. Mr. Brunworth thought no tion should be formed until Allan Knapp presided, and there were present J. Bayha, John Brunworth, R. M. Fay, William and Edward Thompson, H. E. Hunt, C. E. Jones, A. A. Mills, John Eymann, Mr. Owen, W. C. Mauerhan, H. H. Pierce, I. Clemens, Messrs. Kennah, Allen, Huerim, J. M. Pickering of the Southern Pacific, C. G. McKinley, representing a Los Angeles house which desires to handle the pepper output, and others. Mr. Knapp stated the object of the meeting to be to improve the quality of peppers grown in Orange county, to possibly curtail the area devoted to their culture, and to better prevailing conditions of the market. He pointed out that much of the condition now confronting growers was due to improper curing of peppers at first hand. Thus he had found many of the peppers now held in stock by Los Angeles brokers, as well as those in hands of growers, were mouldy and unfit for consumption. A pepper cured properly, he said, would keep for ten years. While he had not kept them for so long, he had held them three years, when they were as perfect as ever. Inferior peppers were primarily responsible for present unfavorable market conditions. Two years ago there remained not a pepper in the county, and growers received as high as 19 cents. At present many tons of last season's crop are yet in hand. There exists no demand for them, and prices have dropped to 7 cents. He understood the area devoted to chile culture will probably be largely increased this year, and this circumstance opens up a new phase of the sub- An Elegant Assortment —OF— Staple and Fancy Groceries Just Received.

On motion of Pierce, seconded by Jones, a rising vote was taken upon the propriety of forming a chile-growers' association. All present rose at call of question by the chair. The meeting adjourned to the call of the committee. Morans' Measure Taken Two lonely hits off Johnson's delivery were not sufficient to win Sunday's game at Athletic park, and Mr. Moran was again ingloriously trailed in the dust by the ferocious demons from the Olinda foothills. Head, the first man up, was away on a slam to short center, and Elwell was safe on a fielder's choice, the little shortstop scampering to third on the play. Warren Meats sent one to short center, scoring Head. Mott took four bad ones, and it looked as if Mr. Rieger's balloon was about to make its grand ascension. Meats made an unpardonable steal of second, Elwell scoring. On a try for the plate Meats was caught out by Mangerino. Crips flew to left. Mott tried to come home, but was out at the plate. The Wellers scored again in the third. Johnson went out, Lucera to Emery. Head ambled, Elwell sacrificed, Warren Meats got four, and on a NEW ARC LIGHT Remodeled plans for the house were submitted to the tees by Engineer Schenck evening. The original s were ordered changed, becagle bid offered for constibuilding aggregated $9850, trustees proposed expendexceed $4500 upon the strucMinor changes were maspecifications, the crushed dation being changed to one and the rear shed being Schenck suggested that the room at the present power moved to the rear of the house, and used for shed put changes would reduce the structure probably $600, ee the cost of moving the engine. Schenck said he was at a lly why the contract bid she high, while on the other architects say the bid was added that in all probabLe Leonardt, the Los Angeles who has the contract for en concrete tower and tank, will submit a bid for building touse. The board decided to call for constructing the building An increase of a tenth of land on all peppers grown in it would pay this interest. That an association with farming-house, which would be similar to the orange and farming-house, would prove the problem now confronting worth thought no associates formed until at least all the growers signed to join. It did not favor a central place, preferring to dry his own dry-house.

The Wellers scored again in the third. Johnson went out, Lucera to Emery. Head ambled, Elwell sacrificed, Warren Meats got four, and on a short throw by Mangerino to Bresino to catch Meats at second, Head romped across the rubber. In the fourth Crips was safe on an error by Moore. Isbell cracked one past second, and the big right-fielder scored. Guy Meats fanned. Mangerino caught a beautiful high foul from Wagner's bat, plunging into the crowd off the right foul line to get it. For this he was roundly applauded. A very clever bit of work. Johnson retired the side, Rieger to Emery. The foreigners got no hit until the seventh, when Perotti hit to right. Crips had the sun in his eyes andumbled Whaling's hit to the same territory, booting the ball into the crowd. On the play Perrotti scored, Whaling taking third. Mr. Emery, surnamed Musty, here observed the game was not out until it was played out, urging his clansmen on to deeds of glory. While Musty, whose other surname is "Mand, the Kicker," was exhorting his brave comrades to valorous deeds, Smiley struck out, and Mott took care of a high foul from Lucera's bat in the territory back of third. Mangerino sent a dinky grounder to Head and was fielded out at first. The score: ANAHEIM OIL WELLS AB R BH A PO E Head, ss 3 2 2 3 0 0 Elwell, 2b 3 1 0 1 2 1 W.

Johnson made a very pretty play when he nailed Mangerino at the plate as the latter attempted to score. Meats was engaged in an attempt to run him down, when the foreigner broke through the bunch and made for home. Mott was there with his usual assist, and Johnson put it on him at the plate. Twenty-three for Mr. Mangerino. The Hoegee club came down from Los Angeles, supposing they were to play the Wellers. They were scheduled to play a week ago, but rain interfered.

He was prepared to report rejecting all bids, and readvertising upon the lines of one of the bids offered, which, he thought, came nearer to filling the bill than the others. He was ready to advise this plan, adding that arcs be immediately advertised for, when Schenck's plan intervened. While the flaming arcs are said to give out twice the illumination of the ordinary arc, he was of opinion that if a single arc were to be taken from its present location in the business section, there would be an emphatic protest filed with the board against such proceeding. The board seemed to favor the flaming arc and determined to adopt Schenck's suggestion. Fifteen hundred dollars will be retained, however, to blow in for these new lamps later on. The board will meet again this evening in regular session. Chamber of Commerce The directors of the chamber of commerce met in regular session on Thursday evening. Present, Messrs.
