Entered at the Anaheim Postoffice as second-class matter. Has the Largest Circulation WATCH FOR THE TRAIN No word has come during the week of the approaching visit of the demonstration train, but the trip has probably been delayed a week or so, and we shall soon have definite information. It is to be hoped a large outpouring of the people will assemble at the depot to meet the scientists on the train and be shown through the exhibits and later at the evening meeting at the hall. The work of the demonstration train has been hitherto referred to in detail in these columns, and little remains to be added, save that Anaheim range itself alongside of the other towns in California which have tendered the train a royal welcome. Every orange and walnut-grower, every dairyman, every tree grower of whatever description, every farmer and horticulturist in this portion of the county should visit the train, and bring with him his sisters, his cousins and his aunts, not to speak of the other members of the family. There cannot be too many. Let the meetings be rousers. Anaheim and the northern end of Orange county should not take a back seat to any portion of the state.

We hope to be able to announce the date definitely in our next issue. WANTED A MILLION The enormous demand for citrus stock this year is shown in the following article which was taken from the Ontario Record: It is impossible for the nurseries of Southern California to supply the numerous inquiries for trees, and at least one Orange-county nurseryman is sold out for next year. "Recently four well-dressed gentlemen, with wads of money in their clothes and bank accounts so large that it requires an adding machine to figure out their balances, walked into the office at the nursery and ordered enough orange trees to set out 10,000 acres. There has not been an extra figure creep into the number. It was 10,000 acres. Orange trees are usually set 100 to the acre and it would only require 1,000,000 trees to fill the order. The land to be improved lies in Ventura county." "The gentlemen were disappointed however. Not only were they unable to get the number asked for but no orange trees are to be had at the local nurseries. The year has been an exceptional one for the nurserymen all over California. They all report stocks well cleaned up. The next few days will see the last of the shipments leaving the nurseries." Jacob Walton of Westminster was in town on Monday on a brief business mission.

Anaheim may be said to be putting on city airs when a force of a dozen or more mechanics come all the way from Cincinnati to install the latest make of apparatus for the gas company. The men are here under the foremanship of M. Gleason and will be here for a month or more. After completing their work they go to a point in northern California and thence to Mexico, where they will install machinery for gas manufacturing companies. These Cincinnati men underbid coast manufacturers, and as a consequence get the business. We tender Mr. Gleason and his men a welcome to our city!
