COMMERCE CHAMBER DISCUSSES SEWERS UNANIMOUSLY ENDORSE CITY EN GINEER STEWARD'S PLAN Chamber of Commerce Directors all agree to Take Off Their Coats and Work for Bond Issue—Also Appoint a Committee to Assist in Securing Free Mail Delivery—Orange County Preserving Co. Defines Its Needs for Future. City Trustees Stock, Nebelung, Becker and Gates assembled with the chamber of commerce directors at their regular meeting on Monday evening, for the purpose of discussing sewers and the proposed bond issue. City Engineer Steward was also present and presented the plans for the complete system recently formulated by him and adopted by the city trustees. Mr. Steward said that two systems had been considered—the complete system and the partial system, but the complete system had been unanimously adopted. The partial system had been given a trial by several cities and had invariably proven unsatisfactory of peaches, 50 to 100 tons of peas, 5 to 10 tons of plums. We could also use from 5 to 55 tons of blackberries and a few raspberries. I hope next year to be able to put up part of my fruit at Anaheim, and will pay for the fruit prices fully equal to those paid by the canneries at Pasadena, Pomona, Ontario, Colton, Lankershim and Los Angeles. The best fruit to grow are: Freestone peaches, Faster, Muir, Salways (one-half Muirs), Clings, Phillips and Tuscan. Pears, Bartlett. The Foster peach sells well on the market especially from young trees. No handsomer peach ever grew. The Muir is the best clinged peach known of. After reading and the discussion of this communication Mr. Mills introduced the following resolution which the board adopted unanimously: Whereas, Mr. Taylor desires to develop the canning business of the Anaheim cannery to full capacity and further desires to purchase fruit and tomatoes for his Los Angeles cannery at Anaheim, and Whereas, he is offering to pay the prices paid by other Southern California canners and offers to contract for a number of years for such fruit as he needs, therefore be it Resolved by the Anaheim chamber POPULAR YOUNG PEARS ARE HAPPILY E. L. OLMSTEAD AND NES RIMPAU UNITED MARRIAGE Ceremony Occurs at Knight's lumbus Hall Where Larry blage Gathers to Witness Event — Bride Receives Beautiful and Costly Pictures Lovely in Costume York—Wedding Breakfast One of the most elaborate festly arranged weddings that occurred in the Mother Grace celebrated on Monday, January eleven o'clock, when Agnes paul became the bride of Emmont Olmstead. Father Dubbel of the church officiated, the improvised service being used. The wedding occurred in fully finished Knights of Columbus which was artistically decorated the direction of Mrs. Gates, the color scheme be red and green. A special feature decoration was the canopy. City Engineer Steward was also present and presented the plans for the complete system recently formulated by him and adopted by the city trustees. Mr. Steward said that two systems had been considered—the complete system and the partial system, but the complete system had been unanimously adopted. The partial system had been given a trial by several cities and had invariably proven unsatisfactory, as the only way extensions could be made in many instances would be by appeal to the Vrooman act. Many people, therefore, who wanted sewer service would be denied it for years. A year ago or more Mr. Steward submitted plans for a complete system the total cost of which aggregated about $60,000, while the plans recently adopted by the trustees totalled up an expense of $90,000. The increased cost, he said, was caused by the doubling up of the price of pipe. Also the plans for the outfall sewer were larger and more complete and added $10,000 to the cost. The entire right of way for the outfall sewer has already been secured with two or three exceptions and Mr. Steward does not anticipate much difficulty in getting through. In answer to a question Mr. Steward said that future extensions, after the completion of the system, would have to be paid for from the general fund, but the cost would not be heavy. On motion of Holcomb, seconded by Falkenstein, Mr. Steward's plans were endorsed by the board and the members pledged themselves to work for the success of the bond issue. Trustee Stock addressed the board relative to the proposed new dynamo at the power house. Most people, he said, do not realize the rapid growth Anaheim is making, and the constantly increasing demand for light and water. If they did they would understand that a new dynamo is just as essential as sewers, and there would be less opposition to the $8500 bond issue asked for the new engine. Trustee Gates also spoke briefly in favor of this item of the bond issue. The two engines at the power house, he said, furnish ample power for the present needs but if one should be disabled it would require probably 30 days to repair it and during that period a portion of the town would be without light and the water supply Whereas, Mr. Taylor desires to develop the canning business of the Anaheim cannery to full capacity and further desires to purchase fruit and tomatoes for his Los Angeles cannery at Anaheim, and Whereas, he is offering to pay the prices paid by other Southern California canners and offers to contract for a number of years for such fruit as he needs, therefore be it Resolved, by the Anaheim chamber of commerce that we wish to call the attention of growers to these facts and ask for Mr. Taylor a fair trial by those who now have fruit for sale for next season, and also by any that may wish to contract to grow fruit. All desiring informaton to make inquiry of the chamber of commerce, or take the matter up direct with Mr. Taylor. Resolved, that we pledge Mr. Taylor our support in the above matters and that we urgently ask Mr. Taylor to hereafter label all fruit or vegetables packed here as, "Packed in Anaheim." Monday, January 30, was fixed as the date for holding the annual banquet of the chamber of commerce,and Messrs. Mills and Renner appointed a committee on arrangements. The board adjourned. NEW DIVERTERS UP RIVER Sunny Slopers Would Pump 400 Inches of Water Confronted with the prospect of another legal battle to protect their water rights from infringement up river, the boards of directors of the Santa Ana and Anaheim Union Water companies met at the office of the latter company in this city for an all-day conference on Thursday with a delegation of men representing the Sunny Slope company, a new organization which has erected a pumping plant four miles north of Riverside and seeks to pump 400 inches of water for diversion upon non-riparian land. The scheme did not look good to the valley irrigators, who announced themselves ready for another legal battle to maintain their rights to water in the river. The Sunny Slopers suggested a compromise, as an economical means of settling the matter, but the only reply was that the old frigate would be cleared for action again and insist upon the rights of the valley men at the cost of a fight. The wedding occurred in fully finished Knights of Colony which was artistically decorated the direction of Mrs. Gates, the color scheme be red and green. A special feature decoration was the canopy which the bride and groom ing the ceremony. From of the canopy which was coated a lattice work of smillax wished a white dove with white spread.

The two engines at the power house, he said, furnish ample power for the present needs but if one should be disabled it would require probably 30 days to repair it and during that period a portion of the town would be without light, and the water supply would be perilously short. Mr. Holcomb then amended his motion adding the dynamo item to the sewer bond endorsement, which was adopted. Postmaster Duckworth made a short talk to the board on the subject of free delivery. He could not understand the reason for delay. The government might be short of funds, it might be waiting for the holiday season to pass and it might be waiting to discover whether or not he had been padding the receipts of his office. On this latter point the authorities would soon be satisfied as the receipts during the coming year would be at least $1000 greater than the last. He asked that a committee from the chamber work in conjunction with himself and a similar committee from the merchants association, and believed that the matter could be hastened and delivery secured in a short time. On motion of Mills, Chairman Weisel and Secretary Falkenstein were appointed on the committee. The following letter from E. A. Taylor, manager of the Orange county preserving company, defining the future needs of that institution was read: Los Angeles, Dec. 24, 1910. A. A. Mills, Anaheim.—Dear Sir— The cannery at Anaheim will want and must have in order to make a good run, 200 tons of apricots, 600 "How did you make your neighbor keep his chickens in his own yard?" "I went out every night and hid a bunch of eggs on my lawn. Then I let him see me gathering them in the morning." "Was your chafing dish party a success?" "Great. We spoiled all of the food early in the evening and then went to a regular restaurant." HEIM GAZET ANAHEIM, CALIFORNIA, THURSDAY, JANUARY 5, 1911 POPULAR YOUNG PEOPLE ARE HAPPILY WED L.

The wedding occurred in the new-finished Knights of Columbus hall which was artistically decorated under the direction of Mrs. Cornelia Jones, the color scheme being white and green. A special feature of thisoration was the canopy under to the darkened hall and beauty to the dazzling costumes. Potted plants and fan palms graced the stage where the orchestra were seated and over their heads Old Glory gracefully floated, blending its crimson colors into the hundreds of narrow red and green streamers, radiating from the central chandelier. Each door window and corner were banked with spreading palms and tall branches. Numerous poinsettas decorated the three long tables, the red blossoms over the snowy cloth presenting a rich effect. The first piece of wedding cake was cut by the bride. Dainty white boxes containing a piece of wedding cake were given each guest to carry home as a souvenir. Father Dubble acted as toastmaster, and those responding to toasts were W. L. Olmstead, father of the groom, Frederick Rimpau, representative of the distinguished Rimpau family. John Hartung whose subject was "Anaheim Girls" related an interesting "story" when Adolph Rimpau and others were lads together and the first dance they attended in Anaheim.

BROKE TWO COLLAR BONES Charley Stone Holds the Record in Year's Accidents Charley Stone was in town a day or two ago, and when seized by his hand for a shake, he said: "Gingerly there. I've got two broken collar bones." Charley was bundled up in a heavy overcoat and his usual smile was missing. "A month ago while returning to my home in Placentia on a bike. I ran into a chuckhole in the road and fell off the wheel.

Hatfield forged several checks in town some months ago and escaped with local officers on his heels. He hid in town during the night of the forgeries, and made his way to the outlying section early the following morning. At different times he has been seen, but it was impossible to place him under arrest until this week. Hatfield was found in the sandwash near the railroad trestle. On approach of the officers he attempted to hide by crawling under a clump of willows. He was chased from his retreat and ran into the arms of the officers. Hatfield said he put in some time at San Pedro working with a gang of railroad laborers. The employment was too hard for him in his debilitated condition, and he came to Brookshurst, where he purchased supplies and cached them at that place. For some time past parties have seen his fires while he prepared his meals. On Saturday night his food supply was taken by officers, and on Sunday morning he was taken into custody. Hatfield was taken to the county jail on Monday to await his preliminary examination on charge of forgery. He admits his crime, and says he has no one but himself to blame.

Linebarger has done the trick before, but this is the nicest cut of pie which he ever handed out to a friend. The vote stood 3 for Sleeper, 1 for Kelly and 1 for Angle. N. T. Edwards, postmaster of Orange, who was considered a dark horse in the fight, was so dark that his name was not presented. Those supporting Sleeper were Linebarger and Leck, democrats, and Smith, republican. Linebarger is given the credit for cutting the pie, and it is said will have something more to say of the other jobs to be given out by the supervisors. Talbert was elected chairman of the board. On drawing lots for two and four-year terms, Smith and Linebarger got the short cuts, and Talbert, Leck and Struck the long ones. Sleeper was some years ago a deputy in Sheriff Lacy's office and at one time aspired to the democratic nomination for sheriff. For some years past he has been raising grain at Trabuco. The Rev.

Charley was bundled up in a heavy overcoat and his usual smile was missing. "A month ago while returning to my home in Placentia on a bike. I ran into a chuckhole in the road and fell off the wheel. I knew I had broken my collar bone, for I could hear it crack when I moved my arm, and experienced pain when lying down. I could stand it no longer, and on Saturday came in to have it reset. "I went home and in the evening my family and I attended a Christmas tree party at a neighbor's. When we returned home, my wife and daughter went up the front steps ahead of me, and when it came my turn, dangled if I didn't slip and fall and break the other collar bone. What do you know about that? It was a fright. I came in the next day and had it set, and now I'm going about with the record for breaking collar-bones. Ever hear of anything like it?" Charley holds another record—that of being the only man in California who ever thrashed former Gov. Pardee. The fracas occurred up at Haywards when the two were kids. Pardee was a town boy and just out from Oakland, and was lording it over the other boys when Charley took a fall out of him, and made him promise to be good. "I am to meet the duke at the waterfront." "But he has never seen you, girl." "For means of identification he is to wear a red carnation and I am to carry $1,000,000 in my left hand." The Rev.

He was seated upon the bed at his rented home on East Adele street, after a quarrel with his wife, whom he unwarrantedly accused of misbehavior. The shot tore a hole through the body below the heart, tearing away a portion of the left lung, and a portion of the charge passed through a window in the room. He died at 2 o'clock on Sunday morning. Medical aid was at once summoned, but it was apparent from the first that the wound was a fatal one. In moments of consciousness Hunter expressed sorrow for his rash act. He sank gradually until he passed away. Funeral services were held on Tuesday morning from Backs & Terry's undertaking establishment. The body was taken to Los Angeles, where it was cremated. Hunter leaves a wife and five children. MIMMIC WAR AT SCHOOL LADIES WON OUT DENIED USE OF GRAMMAR SCHOOL FOR MEETING PLACE Parent-Teachers March on Edifice, Ignore Prof. Van Derveer's Letter and Hold Interesting Session — School Trustees Decide November 1 Not to Permit Future Meetings, Ladies Not Notified Until Day of Meeting, When Invitations Had Been Issued and Preparations Made Ignoring a polite request of the school trustees that meetings of the Parent-Teachers' Association be not in future held at central grammar-school forty members of that body assembled at that edifice on Tuesday afternoon, ready to have it out with Principal Van Derveer who served the association that morning with notice of the school board's action. The ladies were indignant, not so much on account of the action of the board, as the dilatory action which characterized the serving of notification upon them. The order was passed by the school trustees November 1 that the CANNERY WANTS BERRIES Will Make a Run on Blackberries, Will Contract for Them E. A. Taylor was at the cannery on Friday, coming down from Los Angeles to superintend the shipment at a quantity of canned goods. Mr. Taylor said he desired next season to contract for all the blackberries he could get. He is also anxious to contract for peaches, and will handle stringbeans and other vegetables, in addition to the usual run of tomatoes and chiles. "There is not a can of tomatoes in the warehouse which has not been sold, and I expect shipments will begin in earnest soon after the new year. We shall can tomatoes and chiles again the coming season, and in addition we shall make a special run on berries, peaches and other fruits." "Berry growers will have an especially advantageous market here, for while they may ship their berries to market while fancy prices prevail, I will take all they can bring me when prices drop. So that profit is curtailed by shipments to outside points. "I also want to contract for peaches and other fruits, for I believe the finest peaches on the coast are raised right here about Anaheim. The market promises to be especially advantageous for these fruits, and there exists no reason why fruit-growers cannot make good money out of the venture. I will take all the berries from the first that the wound was a fatal one. In moments of consciousness Hunter expressed sorrow for his rash act. He sank gradually until he passed away. Funeral services were held on Tuesday morning from Backs & Terry's undertaking establishment. The body was taken to Los Angeles, where it was cremated. Hunter leaves a wife and five children. Deceased was aged 38 years, and was a native of Nebraska. His father, George A. Hunter, long a highly respected resident of this section, came down from Los Angeles on hearing of the shooting and remained until Tuesday, when the remains were taken to Los Angeles for cremation. Mr. and Mrs. A. N. Little and Mr. and Mrs. J. W. Dolan came down from Los Angeles on Tuesday to attend the funeral. The ladies took exception to these letters, not so much for what they contained, as for the dilatory action of the clerk and principal in notifying them. They had been invited upon organizing the association a year ago to make use of the schoolhouse as a meeting place, and have met there continuously. The high school was offered them, but they resolved to have a showdown with Van Derveer. They won. The meeting discussed at some length the action of the trustees. The association usually meets at 3 o'clock, but a number of the higher grade teachers were unable to be present until 3:45, as the principal would not consent to their leaving the classrooms before the afternoon's labors were completed. There has been friction among the school trustees and the ladies of the association, and some people say an echo of the scrap was heard in the recent unsuccessful attempt to bond the district for $40,000 for a new schoolhouse. Routine matters were discussed at the meeting. The meeting voted to divide monies collected for the playground-fund between the working and emergency funds. There being no playgrounds to speak of, the money was turned over into the other funds, where there is need for it. Miss Eleanora Parker gave an excellent report of the Parent-Teachers' association section of the Southern California teachers' association meeting in Los Angeles during institute week. market while fancy prices prevail, I will take all they can bring me when prices drop. So that profit is curtailed by shipments to outside points. "I also want to contract for peaches and other fruits, for I believe the finest peaches on the coast are raised right here about Anaheim. The market promises to be especially advantageous for these fruits, and there exists no reason why fruit-growers cannot make good money out of the venture. I will take all the berries and fruit they bring; if I cannot handle it all at this cannery I can ship it to my cannery in Los Angeles." Mr. Taylor contemplates many additions and improvements to the cannery and will market one of the largest and best line of fruit in the state NEW COMPANY, U.F.K.P. Mustered In Last Evening by Col. Royer A new company of the uniform rank Knights of Pythias, was mustered in at Odd Fellows' hall last evening. Col. J. O. Royer, installing officer of the brigade, officiated at the musterin. The new company starts with a membership roll of 125, and bids fair to become one of the strongest companies in the state. Officers agreed upon for election before the meeting were as follows: Frank Tausch captain, Walter Amstutz first lieutenant, Alvin Nowotny second lieutenant, B. T. Beale recorde A treasurer will also be elected. Col. Royer presented the company with two building lots on Palm street near Broadway. The organization is given the right to dispose of the lots as it sees fit and place the money in the treasury. Misses Zoe and Ruth Lemon were week-end guests with relatives at Orange during Christmas holidays. The meeting voted to divide moneys collected for the playground-fund between the working and emergency funds. There being no playgrounds to speak of, the money was turned over into the other funds, where there is need for it. Miss Eleanora Parker gave an excellent report of the Parent-Teachers' association section of the Southern California teachers' association meeting in Los Angeles during institute week. BOY SCOUTS' ALL-DAY TRIP Hostile Camps Meet at Nopn for Big Feed On Wednesday of last week the local boy scouts made a scouting trip to the Santa Ana river. The party was divided into two hostile parties, one led by Howard Gates and the other by Wayne Goble. These left town by different routes, but both headed for the Olive bridge. Here each party pitched camp and the morning was passed by each party maneuvering to locate and capture the hostile camp. At noon the late enemies united in cooking and disposing of a camp dinner of broiled steak, roasted potatoes, bread and cocoa. Mr. Luddon arrived in time to make a large pot of cocoa, which the scouts said was even better than that he prepared up in the Brea canyon recently. The afternoon was spent in a lively game of football and in tracking. E. B. Douglas and the visiting Y. M.C.A. college boys accompanied the boy scouts, as judges of the games. The party numbered 32 in all, troops 1 and 2 being represented equally. UNCLAIMED LETTERS Conceplon Lopez, F. M. Fillipen, H. Elkhorn, Mrs. Santiago Zalazar, J. H.
