VOLUME XXXVIII ANAH Death of Michael Neipp Micheal Neipp, aged 68 years, a native of Trossingen, Wittenburg, Germany, died at Banning on Tuesday, March 17, of heart trouble and asthma. His son Gustave was with him at the time of his death. A telegram was received here at 11 o'clock Tuesday morning by Mrs. Neipp announcing the death of her husband. She was at the cemetery decorating the grave of a departed son when the message was handed her. The grief-stricken woman became prostrated on receipt of the sad news and had to be carried to her home. Mr. Neipp was afflicted with asthma and had been in failing health for several months past. He left here ten days ago in search of health, and went to Banning in the hope that the dryer, desert air would afford him relief. Mr. Neipp came to Anaheim in 1882 and had lived here with his family ever since. He was in his lifetime a member of Fraternal Aid lodge. Deceased leaves a wife and nine grown children to mourn his loss. Death of James A. Whitaker James A.

Whitaker James A. Whitaker, well and favorably known in this city and throughout Orange county, and founder of the town of Buena Park, died on Friday morning at his home in Highland Park, Los Angeles, aged 81 years. Mr. Whitaker came to this part of the country from Chicago in 1885 and engaged in stockraising. On the advent of the Santa Fe railway into this section he was encouraged by the railroad officials and laid out the village of Buena Park, platting for the purpose a large part of his original purchase. From that time till advancing years compelled him to make a change, his name was inseparably connected with the advancement of the Park and contiguous country. Every enterprise received his assistance. Among these is the Pacific creamery company, of which he was one of the original promoters—now a great industry employing many people and sending its product all over the world. His foresight in developing that region brought into it many large investors. A few years ago Mr. Whitaker went to Los Angeles and engaged in the real estate business. Mr. Whitaker was born in Otsego county, New York, April 8, 1827, a son of James T. and Prudence (Sydleman) Whitaker. The grandfather, Major Thomas Whitaker, was a soldier in the Revolutionary army. James A. Whitaker early entered into mercantile life and embarked in business in Norwich, Ct., and later embarked in business in Chicago for many years. Mr. Whitaker not only achieved business success, but he won a high place in the esteem of those who knew him and always exercised a prestige in the community in which he lived. Orphaned by his father’s death when but a mere child, and unable to secure any educational advantages save such as the Cherry Valley academy afforded, he rapidly forged to the front in the commercial world and lived a life of great usefulness to his fellow-men, leaving a name honored and a repute to be envied.

He was the soul of integrity, generous to a fault, always ready to aid with purse and hand every worthy cause; and he put many a struggling man on his feet. He was a steadfast adherent of the church and helped to build more than one house of worship in California and Chicago. He was a staunch republican and was once a member of the county central committee. He had been in failing health for the past year, but attended to his affairs until a few months ago. He married Mrs. Ella A. Foster in Chicago, and his devoted wife survives him. Brookhurst Mr. and Mrs. Klassen of Los Angeles spent Sunday with Mr. and Mrs. J. L. Updike.

Chili Outlook for this Season The chili market for the past two crops has been so poor that the acreage devoted to growing them, last year was only about one third of that of the previous year, and this year promises a still further reduction of the acreage, as the outlook for prices is not very bright, there being large stocks of 1906 and 1907 crops still on hand, one grower having 120 tons of 1907 crop still unsold. Recent sales of cured chili have been made at as low as 7¢ per pound, about the cost of production. The sales of green chili have not been much more satisfactory than the cured article; the most of the growers contracted to the canners at $20 per ton, although a few growers who refused to sell at that figure received $30 and one is reported to have received $40 per ton. These latter prices of course being satisfactory from the growers’ standpoint, as $30 per ton is a good fair price. This year the canners are offering to contract at from $22 50 to $25 per ton, and are not meeting with a very ready response from the growers, although one grower has sold 100 tons at $25 per ton. Many former growers of chili are turning their attention to sweet potatoes, lima beans and other crops as being more satisfactory, so that it is probable that in a year or so the market will clear of surplus stocks and ORDER reported five cases in going the month, and $18 75 in fines.
