ROYER HONORED GUEST OF THE EVENING Knights of Pythias are greatly indebted to Major Royer. OTHER REMARKS Mr. Warren Wants to See Anaheim Knights of Pythias are greatly indebted to Major Royer. (Turning to Major Royer and addressing him:) "Mere words cannot express our gratitude and appreciation of the many noble deeds you have performed, and of the untiring efforts you have exerted in the interests of and toward the upbuilding of our grand order. It is indeed a great pleasure for me to have the honor of presenting to you, Major Royer, on behalf of your Brothers of Anaheim lodge, No. 105, Knights of Pythias, this loving cup, as a token of that love and esteem in which you are held. Major Royer rose and accepted the gift, and said: "I am like the man in the story who did not exactly know where he was at. You have spoken so many kind words of eulogium of me that I don't quite understand it all. I am not entitled to these words of praise. Rather are they due to you, my friends, for the unselfish manner in which you have co-operated with me for the institution of a lodge of Knights of Pythias here, and for the upbuilding of our city. We are gathered at the banquet table here. The committee sent out invitations to you to come and be with us. You accepted. You have my thanks therefor. But supposing you had not come. What then? Why, my friend Melrose and Olmstead and the other boys would have to have eaten this repast alone. And consider what that would have meant. Bang. It would have meant our destruction." He told a story of two boys who went out into the pasture to bring in a burro. One of them bestrode the beast, and it started to run away. The boy's mother saw a streak of dust coming in the distance. Soon she saw what it was. She called to her son, "Where are you going, my boy?" "I don't know," he replied between gasps, "you'll have to ask the burro." "The people of Anaheim and I," he said, "are like that boy and the burro. And I am the burro. (Shouts of laughter.) We'll get along well OTHER REMARKS Mr. Warren Wants to See Anaheim and Fullerton One City E. E. Warren spoke briefly of the progress of Anaheim during the recent years, and said the time was coming when Anaheim and Fullerton should be consolidated in one city. After the meeting of the lodge the preceding Saturday evening he walked back to his home at Fullerton, enjoying the jaunt in the evening air. The thought struck him that it would be very nice to have a paved thoroughfare leading from one town to another, with electric lights along the way. He spoke of the coming grand lodge at Santa Cruz, and urged a large attendance. He also impressed upon the brethren that they take their wives along. H. Stern made a brief address, and closed by telling one of his inimitable stories. Mrs. Stansbury of Los Angeles spoke of the desirability of organizing a temple of Pythian Sisters in Anaheim. Major Royer suggested that as the hour was late the work of organizing the temple be deferred to the lodge meeting the following Saturday evening. Turning to Mrs. Stansbury he said: "We shall have 50 names for you on Saturday evening, and you may apply for a charter for Anaheim Temple of Pythian Sisters at the grand lodge meeting in May." The guests rose at 1:05 o'clock and sang "America." The orchestra rendered the concluding air, while friends gathered about the host of the evening bidding him good night. A hearty handshake was accorded all. The most notable function of its kind in the history of the county was at an end. THE SWEET GIRL WAITRESSES Attired In Dainty Gowns, They Performed Like Veterans An account of the banquet would not be complete without reference to the lady assistants who rendered Manager Gillespie such splendid service... in a burro. One of them bestrode the beast, and it started to run away. The boy's mother saw a streak of dust coming in the distance. Soon she saw what it was. She called to her son, "Where are you going, my boy?" 'I don't know,' he replied between gasps, "you'll have to ask the burro." "The people of Anaheim and I," he said, "are like that boy and the burro. And I am the burro. (Shouts of laughter.) We'll get along well together, I am sure, and we shall have a town here. I want your kindly co-operation and your assistance, not your praises. I am not entitled to the words of encomium. Rather, as I say, they are due to you. "I walked up and down your streets some time ago asking your co-operation in organizing a Knights of Pythias lodge. You responded nobly. And the lodge is going to continue to grow. We aim to have every good man in the community a member, until finally when you see a man who is not a member you will know that he can't get in. (Laughter.)" "I came to Anaheim some years ago and decided to locate. I bought property here, and here I shall make my home. One of these days I am going to call it Pythian Park. (Applause.)" "I love Anaheim. I like your climate, and I like the people. (Applause.) I find the people here pull together. There are no kickers here; if there are I have not found them. On my ranch I have a number of horses, and they kick, but that is not an attribute of the good people of Anaheim. "So I say that when I hear all these words of endearment and praise, I don't just exactly know where I am at. But I say again the praise is due you, and not me, and I hope we may all continue to pull together for the lodge and the good of Anaheim. (Cheering and applause.)" The Surprise of the Evening was most happy in all respects. THE SWEET GIRL WAITRESSES Attired In Dainty Gowns, They Performed Like Veterans An account of the banquet would not be complete without reference to the lady assistants who rendered Manager Gillespie such splendid service. It was a great task this serving of 262 people, and yet it was done with pleasing promptness and precision. From this point of view the function was, as in all its other details, a magnificent success. The young lady assistants were: Miss Alma Yoern acted as matron at the speakers' table. Miss Martha Pratt was overseer of waitresses. The young ladies at the other tables were: Misses Pearl Campbell, Pauline Carner, Myrtle Titchenel, Josephine Boguerre, Thelma Fanner, of Fullerton. Misses Lizzie McAuley, Edith Fulde, Mabel Gade, Mary Wisser, Julia Heying. Agnes Fulde, Harriet Gade, Bertha Horwitz, Mina McCann, Lizzie Yoern, Elenora Pratt of Anaheim. COMMITTEE OF ARRANGEMENTS The following gentlemen composed the committee of arrangements, and to them great credit is due for the success characterizing every detail of the banquet: E. L. Olmstead, H. Stern, R. C. Whiting, H. M. Adams, and E. E. Warren. Fred Gillespie was in personal charge of preparing and serving the feast. His success was never equaled here, and he sets a high score as an amateur caterer. Bobby Mills, the premier chef, was in charge of the cuisine, and served the edibles in approved fashion.

It stands 18 inches in height, with the three handles arching three inches above the bowl. The latter is nine inches deep and ten inches from brim to brim. Its cost is $325.

Upon the reverse side is an emblem of the Knights of Pythias in artistic enameled engraving, surmounted by the letters F. C. B. KNIGHTS VISIT WHITTIER Two Special Cars Carry Uniform Rank to Quaker Town A party of 150 uniformed Knights of Pythias, accompanied by their band of 35 pieces, and a number of subordinate members, went to Whittier last evening to assist in the institution of a uniform rank, K. P., at that place. The uniform team of the local lodge, numbering 35, was in charge of the floor work, and conferred the third degree to a number of Whittier members. The Knights traveled in two special cars over the Santa Fe, leaving Anaheim at 6 o'clock last evening, and were scheduled to leave Whittler in the small hours of the morning. They all took the electric to Los WALNUT GROWERS ENDORSE STANTON SECURED APPROPRIATION FOR EXTERMINATING WALNUT BLIGHT Anaheim Association Unanimously Favors Speaker for Governorship — Resolutions Adopted at Meeting Held on Saturday—Is Friend of Walnut Men—Is Himself a Walnut Grower on Ranch West of Town At a largely attended meeting of stockholders of the Anaheim Walnut Growers' Association, held at the American Savings Bank on Saturday afternoon, the following resolutions endorsing the Hon. P. A. Stanton for governor of California, were unanimously adopted. The resolutions were offered by Frank Shanley, and met with a ready, second from Samuel Kraemer, Sherman Hayden, A. W. Phelps, James Owens, Mr. Osborne of Miraflores, E. F. Kellogg and others. Dr. A. T. Covert, president of the association, warmly approved them: The resolutions are as follows: Whereas, The Hon. P. A. Stanton, a member of our association, has announced his candidacy for the republican nomination for governor of California, and whereas Mr. Stanton has during his long term of service in the legislature been a true and staunch friend of the farmer and fruit grower of the State, as evidenced by his zeal and assistance in securing needed appropriations for the investigation of the walnut blight, for the farmers' institutes, for the pathological laboratory at Whittier, for the forestry station at Santa Monica, for the experimental farm at Riverside and all other matters in which the fruit growers were interested; and whereas, Mr. Stanton's practical experience as a The California legislature, he said, had appropriated large sums to send entomologists to the distant corners of the earth in search of parasites for scale, and he had always upheld by word of mouth and by his vote these appropriations. The vedalia cardinales, which was brought hither from Polynesia, had destroyed, as if in an instant, the dread white scale, which was the most dangerous pest ever confronting orange growers. He favored the appropriation for the eradication of red and purple scale, the white fly and other pests, but, he said, the walnut growers had never been given a dollar of assistance from the state. Stanton carried his committee with him, and an appropriation of $50,000 was included in the bill, which passed the house in the closing hours of the legislature, was approved by the senate, and was signed by the governor. Stanton also included appropriations for a Southern California laboratory and an appropriation for continuing the work of the farmers' institutes, now so efficiently carried on by Mr. Neff of this city throughout Southern California. These appropriations were secured at a time when the appropriation bill was burdened, as we say, with $23,-000,000 of appropriations. Stanton proved his friendship for the walnut-grower, and he was big enough to get these appropriations in the bill. It is fitting that the walnut growers do what they can to help him in his fight, when other men are exerting their utmost to throw Orange county into supporting other candidates for governor whom they never heard of in their lives until they became candidates for the highest office in the gift of the people of the State. Let Orange county swing into the Stanton column. What does John- The story was sprung to head off Herman Stern, who always has a bunch of funny stories about the Jews. "Every man has his peculiarities," said the toastmaster. "Major Royer's peculiarity is that he does things—he delivers the goods. Every man has his peculiarities, even the man in the story who stuttered so, and whose chief peculiarity was stuttering. One day, observing a man who said he was possessed of no peculiaries, he asked: "D'd do you s-s-stir your coffee with your right h-h-hand?" "I do," the other replied. "Well, that's your p-p-peculiarity. Most p-p-people stir their c-coffee with their s-s-spoon." Herman Stern told a story of a Jew and an Irishman. The Jew lay dying. The Irishman went to see him. "One favor is all I ask," said the dying man. "And what is that? State it and it shall be granted." "Bury me in a Catholic cemetery." "And why do you want to be buried in a Catholic cemetery?" "Because," gasped the Jew as he expired, "that's the last place on earth the devil would ever look for a Jew." QUARTER OF A MILLION Placentia Rancher Sets Price On 500 Acres of Land A party of Pittsburg capitalists have been for some days past negotiating for the purchase of a portion of Samuel Kraemer’s ranch. They want 500 acres and asked Mr. Kraemer to place a price upon it. He was disinclined to sell, but this week informed them that $250,000 would buy it. Some years ago E. P. Ripley, president of the Santa Fe, offered him $75,000 for his home place and a small tract of surrounding orchard, but the offer was turned down. Mr. Stanton while chairman of the committee on ways and means in the assembly three years ago, at a time when the appropriation bill was burdened with $23,000,000 of appropriations, cut these figures to the bone, and made way for an appropriation of $50,000 for experiments looking to the extermination of walnut blight. This blight has for years threatened the existence of one of California’s great industries. Thanks to Stanton’s appropriation, the blight is being conquered, and is now regarded, as was shown by the report of Prof. Ralph E. Smith of the State laboratory at Whittier, published in these columns last week, as having been checked, and in all probability it will soon be in fair way of final extermination. Mr. Stanton had a hard fight on his hands to get this appropriation. He addressed the committee in a telling speech, showing that the citrus growers had received assistance from the state and federal governments, and rightly so, while the walnut growers had been abandoned to their fate. It is fitting that the walnut growers do what they can to help him in his fight, when other men are extingering their utmost to throw Orange county into supporting other candidates for governor whom they never heard of in their lives until they became candidates for the highest office in the gift of the people of the State. Let Orange county swing into the Stanton column. What does Johnson, or Curry, or Anderson know about the walnut blight? The walnut-growers had a friend in Stanton as chairman of the committee on ways and means. He will continue their friend as governor of California. RATHER BE IN JAIL HERE Frank Shanley Tells Pittsburgers What He Thinks of This Section A party of Pittsburg capitalists, composed of Messrs. Fry, Donaldson, Harrison and Wuesthoff were in town on Saturday negotiating for the purchase of 500 acres of Samuel Kraemer’s ranch at Placentia, upon which Mr. Kraemer is said to have placed a price of $250,000. Another report is that the price was $275,000. As Frank Shanley was on his way home to dinner the party met him at the Commercial hotel and invited him in to dine with them. Messrs. Fry, Donaldson and Wuesthoff are old-time Pittsburg friends of Mr. Shanley. "Tell us what you think of this country as compared with Pittsburg," said Mr. Fry. "Well, sir," responded Mr. Shanley, "I would rather be in the penitentiary here than have an income of $10,000 a year in Pittsburg." It was reported yesterday that the sale of Mr. Kraemer’s ranch would be made this week. Easter Egg Dyes at Heying Bros.
