Zeus, Asst.Cashier. O. Storm, Asst. THE FIRST NATIONAL BANK ANAHEIM, CALIF. LAUNDRY MAY BE OPENED If Local Patrons Will Patronize It, Doors Will Open TENDERED A SERENA Assemblyman-Elect Melrose S by City Band and Neigh LAUNDRY MAY BE OPENED If Local Patrons Will Patronize It, Doors Will Open W. M. Wickett and J. W. Enfield, representing the chamber of commerce, were at Santa Ana the past week conferring with the president of the steam laundry at that place, which recently took a year's lease upon the local steam laundry and closed it down. The mission of the two gentlemen was to procure if possible the reopening of the establishment. The Santa Ana laundry man said Mrs. Clark, owner of the laundry, was compelled to close owing to non-support of the Anaheim people, although the laundry was doing first-class work. The Santa Ana concern had taken a leasebold for a year, and immediately closed its doors. "If our people will patronize the home laundry instead of sending it out of town, said Mr. Enfield on his return, "it will be reopened, and employment given to from twelve to fifteen persons. Mrs. Clark did fine work, and cannot be blamed for running the establishment at a loss. The local washing is now done at Orange. Solicitors call for it and while they make a living out of it themselves, they assist in throwing out of employment a dozen or more persons in this city. The reopening of the laundry rests with the people. If sufficient patronage is given, it will reopen immediately." A well-known business man, who was warm under the collar at the thought of closing down the laundry while solicitors of the Santa Ana Laundry were taking out of town enough work to keep the laundry in operation, said: "I believe the city trustees should fix the license rate for these solicitors so high that it would put them out of business. TENDERED A SERENA Assemblyman-Elect Melrose served enaded by the city band and number of neighbors at his home Monday evening. The service party gathered at the city hall 8:30, and at 9 o'clock walked to the residence. The band up a lively air on the front when the doors were thrown and the party bidden inside. Assemblyman Melrose welcomed guests in a neat address, sparingly of the warm fried which had subsisted between him and his neighbors for so many years. Rev. Juny responding for guests replied briefly, paying Assemblyman a tribute which with hearty hand-clapping, the assemblyman returned from ramento, he said, he knew it be to receive the acclaim of low-citizens for work well performed, and that they would then "Go higher." Brief addresses were made by man Stern, H. A. Dickel, Judgeley, Hans Vossbeck, Mr. Whitney G. Weisel and others. Light refreshments were served cigars passed around. An even social converse followed, in the host pictured the great Southern California had taken forty years of his residence here had been a candidate for the election in the early days, when the district embraced what is now County and Pomona, Long Beach other portions of Los Angeles city. It was a democratic district 500 majority, and he was denied by 60 votes. MEXICANS FIGHT A well-known business man, who was warm under the collar at the thought of closing down the laundry while solicitors of the Santa Ana Laundry were taking out of town enough work to keep the laundry in operation, said: "I believe the city trustees should fix the license rate for these solicitors so high that it would put them out of business. Here we have men working against the best interests of the city, and I think it ought to be stopped. "At Santa Ana the city makes concessions on oil and water rates to the laundry there, but this was not done here. I think some concession should be made, especially when it is recognized that probably fifteen people are given employment by the laundry." The chamber of commerce will exert an effort to have the laundry reopened. If local people will have their washing done here instead of sending it to Orange, the laundry will be reopened. That is the way to build up a town. The course we are now pursuing leads to destruction. Mrs. Oliver Hill writes from Iowa, whither she went some weeks ago because of the critical illness of her mother, that the latter has improved in health, but has become totally blind. Mrs. Hill has made no plans for her return, but is expected back home the after part of the month. Cashier Hartung of the First National attended a county bankers' meeting at Orange on Tuesday evening.

The plastering has been done in workmanlike manner, and throughout the edifice it is apparent that the best work has been accomplished throughout. An expert who visited the building yesterday said it is undoubtedly the best building for the money in Southern California. The architect is John C. Austin of Los Angeles, and the contractors are Kuechel & Rowley of this county. The library board is composed of F. C. Spencer, president; Miss Kate Rea, secretary; Dr. Johnston, Dr. Houck and Wm. Schwenckert. The corner stone will be laid by the Masonic grand lodge Nov. 21. It will require $2500 to furnish the library and this our public-spirited people will be asked to take up for consideration in the near future. Mr. Kuechel of the contractors erecting the library said yesterday: "The honor for this building belongs, not to us, but to the library trustees. Mr. Carnegie himself did not believe the building could be erected for the money. I know a library in this county with barely half the floor space, which consumed $10,-000. There has not been a dollar misspent or fallen into anyone's pocket. Your library board have the honor. They could have rejected Mr. Austin's plans, but they accepted them as the best.
