LIBRARY BOARD IGNORES Has Received No Official Notification of Action of Trustees — Will Stand Upon Its Rights The board of trustees of the Anaheim free public library held a special meeting Monday afternoon, Dec. 30th, in Mr. Spencer's office, all members being present. The board did nothing with the curt request of the city fathers, that it advertise for plans for a library building, after a selection had been made. The board decided, not having received official notification of the action of the city trustees, to ignore the matter, although keenly smarting under what they characterize as discourteous treatment. Probably a meeting of the two boards will be arranged, and a calm deliberation of the subject at issue entered into. The library board will, however, stand upon its rights, and are ready to defend their action in selecting plans for the new library building. Laid to Rest Funeral services over the bury of W. Kirby, who committed suicide in the Pacific lodging-house on night, as detailed in another issue, were held at the Adolph Rimpau on Sunday noon. Rev. Deering of the church read the burial service, spoke feelingly of the good quail deceased. The pallbearers were H. A. M. Nebelung, C. G. McKinley Kraemer, T. S. Grimshaw and Grim. All were old-time friends deceased, several having knotted for a period of forty years. Many beautiful floral offerings the casket, and profound was expressed on all sides at timely end of this pioneer Orange county. Mr. Kirby contracted seven years ago, and it is thought fully recovered. That he was rarely unbalanced when he coached the rash deed is the consensual action among those who knew him. He was in excellent financial stances up to the time of leaving city eight years ago; but it that reverses and sorrows had embitter his life in his declining life went out near his former prosperity, and de though keenly smarting under what they characterize as discourteous treatment. Probably a meeting of the two boards will be arranged, and a calm deliberation of the subject at issue entered into. The library board will, however, stand upon its rights, and are ready to defend their action in selecting plans for the new library building. Miss Ethel Mattocks and Miss Jean Adams, applicants for the position of librarian, appeared before the board. Applications were also received from Miss Margaruet Inda and W. E. Perrin, later withdrawn. The qualifications of each were carefully considered and a secret ballot was taken which resulted as follows: Miss Adams 3, Miss Mattocks 2. Miss Adams was therefore declared elected librarian with a salary of seven dollars a week. The board decided to move the library into its new quarters in the chamber of commerce building Thursday, January 2, 1908. The committee appointed to see Mr. Amberg in regard to purchasing the library linoleum and electric light fixtures requested more time. Granted. A Fictitious Check A man, apparently a Swede, entered the drug store of J. P. Hatzfeld on Monday evening and asked for a purchase of 50 cents worth of a proprietary article. He offered a check in the amount of $6.85, drawn by P. W. Shulz upon the First National bank in favor of Rudolph Meyers. The man being an entire stranger, Mr. Hatzfeld stepped into his rear office to telephone the bank and learned no account was carried by Shulz. He returned to find the man hastily going out the front door. Later in the evening another stranger offered a $10 check, but it was refused. On Tuesday another man entered the drug store and asked for change for a $20 gold piece. He failed to produce the money. He seemed to be quite incensed when change was refused him. Chamber of Commerce The chamber of commerce met on Monday evening; present Messrs. Olmstead, Walker, Howard, Williams a year ago, and it is thoughtfully recovered. That he was rather unbalanced when he coined the rash deed is the consensus among those who knew him. He was in excellent financial stances up to the time of lead city eight years ago; but it that reverses and sorrows had embitter his life in his declining life went out near the his former prosperity, and deserves as he was, he retraced his steet city where he was for years adited citizen, to end it all.

Chamber of Commerce The chamber of commerce met on Monday evening; present Messrs. Olmstead, Walker, Howard, Williams, Resh and Quarton. J. S. Howard reported he had interviewed F. Ruhmann regarding the rental of the premises occupied by the chamber, for the ensuing year, and that Mr. Ruhmann asked $22.50 monthly rental. Moved and carried that he be offered $20 per month for the year 1908. Secretary Walker of the sewer committee reported having laid the matter before the city trustees, who viewed the matter with favor. The chamber ordered a warrant in amount of $100 in favor of the Santa Ana Register for a page write-up in a recent edition. The committee on securing ground for a park reported progress. Howard, Walker and Williams were appointed a committee to nominate candidates for directors of the chamber to be chosen at the annual meeting this month. The following gentlemen were named as candidates: George L. Dietrich, W. M. Rose, Gus Schumacher, A. Thomas, W. A. Wallace, P. J. Weisel and O. A. Mullinix. Quarton, Resh and Walker were appointed a committee on annual banquet, with power to act. The banquet will occur the latter part of the present month.

Turners' Christmas Tree A merry gathering was that which assembled at Odd Fellows' hall on Sunday evening in response to invitations to attend a Christmas-tree social given by members of the Turn Verein. The hall was filled long before the exercises began, and it is doubtful if a more enjoyable entertainment was ever rendered. A large Christmas tree in the corner of the hall was laden with presents for every one. The exercises began by the rendition of several vocal selections by the Singing section, under leadership of Prof. Fruh, which was well received. Miss Guthaus sang delightfully, showing herself to be possessed of a soprano voice of sweetness and charming modulation. Prof. Kruger followed with a violin solo, and the Singing section again favored the audience with finely rendered selections. A one act farce, sung by C. Guthaus, C. Amberg and August Backs, provoked much merriment. Herr Guthaus impersonated the pompous jailor. clad in turnkey's garb, with his keys and great overcoat. His cheeks were rosy and he had a very red nose. Messrs. Amberg and Backs were arrested for talking too much politics in the street. They were placed in duraance vile, but how they turned the tables on the jailer, putting him to and it is thought had not merced.

His cheeks were rosy and he had a very red nose. Messrs. Amberg and Backs were arrested for talking too much politics in the street. They were placed in durance vile, but how they turned the tables on the jailer, putting him to sleep, taking his keys and liberating themselves, and leaving him with a feather duster in one hand and a broom in the other, provoked much laughter. The curtain falls as the jailer awakens and sets chase after the miscreants. The singing was good, and the amusing situations provoked great merriment. The Christmas tree, in charge of V. Schumacher and C. Lange, yielded presents for old and young. A social hop closed the exercises. Cut a Melon Directors of the German-American bank at a meeting on Thursday declared the usual semi-annual dividend of 4 per cent upon stock of that institution, making a total of 8 per cent in dividends for the past year. The record achieved by this bank in its two years of business is an enviable one. Added to this announcement must be made the fact that this bank has been put to the annoyance and expense of a lawsuit to quiet title to its property: The suit was recently settled out of court, after the trial indicated the bank and its officials were in the right in their every contention. The money agreed upon in the first instance for the purchase of the property had been for months on deposit, but its acceptance was refused, until Superior Judge West had indicated in his rulings at the trial that an additional amount sought to be secured had no authority in law or equity. Deposits are well over the $100,000 mark, and the bank starts the new year better equipped for business than ever before. To President Thomas and Cashier Boege much credit for this excellent state of affairs is due.

Marketing Walnuts Walnut growers from many sections of Southern California met in Los Angeles Saturday and discussed plans for marketing their crop. It is understood growers are dissatisfied with the manner brokers treated them the past season, and numerous complaints have been heard. For instance, after prices are fixed, if markets are firm and show a rising tendency, brokers acquire all nuts contracted for and reap additional profit. On the other hand, when prices decline, they show a disposition to fudge, and many individual losses was the result. This horseplay was worked upon growers the past season, the flurry in finances being alleged to be the reason for numerous refutations of consignments already contracted for. A reduced price was the result, while brokers continued to be doing quite well. A consensus of opinion at the meeting was that growers should in future market their crops without the interruption of middlemen. Wm. McLauchlin recently sold his crop of Valencia oranges from his ten-acre orchard for $1040 per acre on the trees. Going some.
