Should the percentage of increase continue, the receipts will exceed $11,000 by the time his next annual report is forwarded to Washington.

People were in town from every section of Orange county; Huntington Beach, Talbert and the peatlands contributing many. From Fullerton there were Joe Goodman and Pete Nicholas, who came over to see what a real live town looked like. Olive, Orange and Santa Ana helped swell the crowd, and it seemed indeed as if all roads led to this city during the day. A crowd of several hundred gathered at the sales yards, where Auctioneer McKee made it interesting as well as profitable for all. A horse, buggy and harness started in the auction at $50, jumped to $100, and was finally knocked down to Pete Nicholas for $165. Another horse and rig brought $61 an antiquated cattle car.

A horse, buggy and harness started in the aution at $50, jumped to $100, and was finally knocked down to Pete Nicholas for $165. Another horse and rig brought $61, an antiquated mule sold for $6, a harness $2.50 and other articles went at anybody's figures. A lady with a young cow, which she desired to sell at not less than $45, failed to receive a higher bid, and she returned home with it. Auctioneer McKee announced at the close of the sale that Market Day will be continued on every third Saturday of the month, and tendered all an invitation to come again and bring their produce with them. "Market day is young yet," he said to a number of farmers after the sale, "and while it is not yet just as we should like to have it, we are persuaded that we are on the right track and will succeed. The sales today were among the best we have had in the five market days held here, and I am encouraged to believe each succeeding one will be better. We want farmers to bring in hogs, poultry, potatoes, hay and whatever other produce they may have to sell. We will have pens for the hogs, and representatives of outside commission houses here to buy. "These Market Days are primarily designed for the benefit of the farmers, and we want them to co-operate with us in making them successful." The sales are the result of an effort on the part of the Merchants' Association to bring producer and consumer together. As has been already explained, while hogs, poultry and potatoes are cash, and farmers find it unnecessary to bring these commodities to town in order to effect sales, yet there are many who, having these lines of produce, could make advantageous sales by being brought in communication with the consumer. Men handling these sales will see to it that no first-class art-referred to in most terms.

Men handling these sales will see to it that no first-class article of produce will have to be taken home, and especial effort will be made to procure for such commodities the highest price offered in the current quotations. The next Market Day will occur on Saturday, April 17, the third Saturday of the month. Commission men will be here to buy produce of all kinds. Farmers desiring to bring in stock or produce should communicate with the committee in charge of the sales, or with Mr. McKee. GOING TO SEE JEFFREY An Anaheim youth on being told of the approaching visit of the demonstration train, and that Horticultural Commissioner Jeffrey was traveling with the scientists on the train, observed: "I'm going to see Jeffries; he's the greatest fighter in the world, and he'll attend to Mr. Johnson at the proper time."

MARCH 25, 1909 NUMBER 23 RANGE OF HEADQUARTERS MEMBER OF COMMERCE WILL MOVE TO LIBRARY BUILDING Actor Thomas Resigns — Arbor City to be Duly Observed—Committee Reports and Action Taken on Matters of Public Interest The resignation of Adolph Thomas from the board of directors of the member of commerce was presented at the meeting of the directors Monday evening and accepted in expressions of regret from other members of the board, by all of the faithful and efficient sergeant of Mr. Thomas as one of the member's most active members was invited to in most appreciative notice to the presentation of resignation the report of the pavilion committee of which Mr. Thomas a member had been presented. The project for which they have made a great deal of hard preliminary work is now in the hands of city trustees, with a good prospect for successful completion, and quarters, having been assured that the use of a large room in the basement of the city library may be secured by the chamber of commerce. Besides the amount saved in the matter of rent, he considered the location more desirable for the purpose, for several reasons, than the room now occupied. The proposition was discussed favorably, and will be taken up with the library directors, with whom it is expected an arrangement mutually satisfactory can be made. Members who find the monthly visits of a collector for the dues amounting to fifty cents annoying and who prefer to pay their dues for a year at once and have the matter disposed of, will be offered the opportunity to save something by such action, a new rate having been adopted making the payment for membership fifty cents per month or five dollars per year if paid in advance. A. I. Stewart of Fullerton appeared before the board to present some observations regarding what is claimed to be inconsistency in the plan of assessment of property in this county, and requested that the matter be taken up for investigation in co-operation with other similar organizations throughout the county, in order that a just and equitable previous to the presentation of resignation the report of the pavilion committee of which Mr. Thomas was a member had been presented. The project for which they have made a great deal of hard preliminary work is now in the hands of city trustees, with a good prospect for successful completion, and the committee was discharged, the latter being now at a stage where considered out of the hands of directors.

Stewart of Fullerton appeared before the board to present some observations regarding what is claimed to be inconsistency in the plan of assessment of property in this county, and requested that the matter be taken up for investigation in co-operation with other similar organizations throughout the county, in order that a just and equitable assessment may be secured. He declared any disposition to criticize the officials in charge of this work, being aware of the difficulties under which it is done. That errors do occur, however, cannot be denied. It is due to the assessor and the supervisors that their attention be called to these errors, so that correction may be made, and if done in the proper spirit, such information will be appreciated by them. He declined to go into particulars, regarding the rates paid in individual cases, as such a course might be misconstrued, but urged that those interested see that the investigation is made under proper direction. It is a matter of vital interest to every property owner, yet the average man knows less about the rate of taxes paid by his neighbors and fellow citizens than about any other subject of equal financial importance to him. HIGH SCHOOL DEBATE The debate between Anaheim high and Los Angeles takes place at the opera house, this city, tomorrow (Friday) evening. There was some time ago doubt whether the building could be procured, as extensive alterations and repairs are in progress. However these have progressed sufficiently to admit of the debate, and the same will occur as scheduled. The subject is, Resolved, That the United States should establish a postal savings bank system. Los Angeles chooses the affirmative. Anaheim takes the negative, and will be represented by Raymond Nebelung and Joseph Burns. The winner will enter the final debate for the championship.
