GATHERED AT FESTAL BOARD Annual Banquet of Chamber of Commerce an Elaborate Affair—Toasts Responded to On Many Live Topics The most sumptuous as well as most largely attended banquet ever given by the Chamber of Commerce held the boards at the banquet room in Odd Fellows hall on Thursday evening. Two hundred guests were seated at table, and the scene was one of brilliance and animation seldom before surpassed in the annals of the city. The menu was discussed with relish and was probably the most varied and most skillfully prepared ever spread in the banquet room. Guests gathered at Odd Fellows' hall at 8 o'clock and an hour was devoted to social converse and greetings between the ladies and gentlemen of the assembly. At 9 o'clock the march to the banquet room began and soon seats were found for the throng. Richard Melrose filled his usual position as toastmaster, and performed the duties of the position in his usual felicitous fashion. There were many witticisms upon the part of the presiding official, which evoked saliies of laughter. The toasts were received with manifestations of good cheer and loud applause. As he rose to speak, while nearly every one at table was busy in cracking nuts upon the table, he said: "I never knew there were so many knockers in Anaheim." F. C. Spencer responded to the toast "The New Public Library." Mr. Spencer said that the library board had had a somewhat strenuous time during the past few weeks, but added that he believed that in thirty days Schools of Anaheim," delivered interesting and well-worded a fine condition. He favored a tax annually for employment of national teachers, the department school being in overcrowded condition. He pointed out that the tax rate been greatly lowered in the high district, and that this decrease intention should prompt a generous sponse on the part of the public grammar and primary schools. Anaheim highschool district has changed to the Anaheim Union school district by the addition Loara and Magnolia districts city in the county had, he said cause for congratulation upon the excellent showing of their school this city. Chairman Olmstead of the board spoke of the work of the member of commerce during the past as well as the progress made in city during that time. His were briefly as follows: Mr. Olmstead said that dresses at banquets nowadays were considered in good form without up with some sort of a joke invented one which was excruciating, but unfortunately he had gotten it. [Loud applause.] During the past year there have been nine business buildings, and eight dwellings, at a total cost of $104,350. The increase in population, based on school census, was 500. There has been constructed 5½ inch sidewalks and curbs at a cost New contracts have been let for 2 million sidewalks and curb, at an cost of $8500.

As he rose to speak, while nearly every one at table was busy in cracking nuts upon the table, he said: "I never knew there were so many knockers in Anaheim." F. C. Spencer responded to the toast "The New Public Library." Mr. Spencer said that the library board had had a somewhat strenuous time during the past few weeks, but added that he believed that in thirty days material would be on the ground for the $10,000 edifice. The building would be ready for occupancy in July or August, and he hoped the next annual banquet of the chamber of commerce would be celebrated in the library hall. The structure would be in every way an ornament to the city, the architect's plans showing it to be one of highly ornate as well as substantial design. Rev. Mitchell responded to the toast "The Churches of Anaheim," He urged better attendance at church meetings, and said that the best advertisement the city could have with the throng of eastern immigration now coming hitherward would be the fact that every citizen was a regular attendant at church. He argued against the open saloon, claiming that Anaheim would enjoy a period of greater advancement and prosperity with their closing. Mr. Mitchell characterized the new reinforced concrete tank at the city water works as a "stein." The toastmaster said responses to toasts had been expected from Hon. C. C. Chapman of Fullerton and Frank Wiggins, secretary of the Los Angeles chamber of commerce, but both gentlemen were unable to be present. Secretary Walker of the outgoing board of directors read the following letters from the gentlemen. Mr. Chapman wrote as follows: Fullerton, Cal., Jan. 29, 1908. Mr. J. F. Walker—Dear Sir: I beg to acknowledge receipt of your favor inviting me to the annual banquet of the chamber of commerce and to respond to a toast. When I saw recently in the press the announcement of your annual banquet I was deeply interested and wondered whether I would be honored with an invitation or not, for I was really looking forward to the occasion with a great deal of pleasure, remembering those which I had attended in the past. For the past week, however, I have been down with the "grip," and I am not yet fully out of the clutches of this unwelcome visitor which has become so common in this section of late. I will therefore be unable to present on this occasion. There has been constructed 5½ inch sidewalks and curbs at a cost New contracts have been let for 2 million sidewalks and curb, at an cost of $850.

The chamber of commerce has d past year published $000 large pamphletive of Anaheim with illustration folders with return post cards; pages in Santa Ana Booster edition, and w Pictorial American, at a total cost $580. At the present time there is no treasury, as against $14 at the beginning last year. A new municipal light and power been built within the past year at $50,000. There has been constructed re-enforced concrete water tank in holding 176,000 gallons. It is 112 feet cost $10,400, about 75 per cent of the steel tank. Dr. Wickett responded to the "The New Board of Directors," rising an earnest endeavor to meet expectations of those who had confidence in them by choosing to their new positions. Introducing Capt. Stern the master said: "I was recently ramento, and had a conferen the governor. The first thing about, thinking doubtless ab speck of war in the eastern was concerning Capt. Stern and He knew the company well. Seen the thousands of soldier's maneuvers, but no comp pressed him with its soldierly ment as did Company E . . . least," he added, "I presume been in Sacramento and had a governor, I have no doubt that have been the very first thing have said."

I will therefore be unable to be present on this occasion. I have been delighted at the splendid progress Anaheim has been making. This may be very largely attributed to the work of the chamber of commerce. It has not only unified public sentiment, but has largely molded and fashioned it, and directed it along proper and useful channels so that results have been realized. It seems absolutely necessary, if progress is made in these smaller cities, for the people to pull together, and do this with enthusiasm. There is no more effective way to secure this than through the organization known as your chamber of commerce. May it continue to receive, as it deserves to, the unanimous support of your people. Again regretting my inability to be present at your annual feast, I am, sincerely yours. CHARLES C. CHAPMAN. Mr. Wiggins' letter was as follows: Los Angeles, Cal., Jan. 28, 1908. Mr. J. F. Walker—Dear Sir: I am in receipt of your kind invitation of Jan. 27th, inviting me to be present at your annual banquet for the 30th. I appreciate the courtesy most heartily, but as there are two other banquets the same evening to which I am invited, I cannot see my way clear to avail myself of the pleasure of being with you. Kindly extend my compliments to your organization and also express my regrets. Thanking you for the kind remembrance, I remain, very truly yours, FRANK WIGGINS, Secretary. Herman Dickel sang a barytone solo. "The Grave on the Heath," in his usual captivating manner, and was loudly applauded. Prof. J. F.

Asher responded to the sentiment, “The Merchants and Manufacturers’ Association.” Mr. Asher is the orator of the organization, and made a witty speech; in which he referred to the successful career of his association. G. L. Dietrich responded to the toast, “The Ladies.” The assemblage arose and sang “America,” and later dispersed: The menu was prepared by Bobby Mills and a corps of assistants. It embraced chicken soup, chicken fricassee, roast veal with dressing, green peas, potatoes, spinach and other vegetables, lettuce, celery, olives, sago and banana pudding, nuts and raisins and coffee. The retiring board met at the chamber of commerce at 7 and adjourned sine die. The following new board of directors was chosen: Dr. Wickett, Aug. Schumacher, G.L. Dietrich, Wm. Rose. A. Thomas, O.A.
