VOLUME XXXXI BOARD OF JRADE IS NAME OF NEW BODY JOINT COMMITTEE RECOMMENDS PROPOSED MERGER Chamber of Commerce and Retail Merchants Association to Consolidate Under the Name of "Anaheim Board of Trade"—Committee Appointed to Secure Site for a Park—Extension of the City Limits Endorsed by Members of Board—Signal Bell Wanted on Broadway Both the Anaheim Merchants Association and the Chamber of Commerce are fading into history, and both will cease to exist if the merchants at their meeting Monday evening follow the lead of the chamber of commerce directors and endorse the report of the joint committee selected by the two bodies to effect a merger. This committee, which was composed of J. W. Duckworth, J. F. Ahlborn and Earl Dutton from the merchants association, and H. G. Ames, C. Z. Vander Horck and C. F. Grim representtee consisting of Falkenstein, Vander Horck and Ames was appointed to confer with the proper parties and request them to put up an electric bell. Chairman Renner reported that he had pledged the board for $20 to assist the merchants association committee in disposing of the $20,000 additional sugar stock petitioned for by the sugar company. His action was ratified by the board. A number of bills were presented and allowed. BROADWAY LINE FINISHED Contractor Kreuscher Completes Water Main Contract The work of laying the new water pipe on East Broadway, the contract for which was let to W. L. Kreuscher, was finished Saturday and Kreuscher's men filled in the trenches the first of the week. The main is just one mile long, running from Los Angeles to Walnut street along the south side of Broadway. Six inch pipe was laid for two blocks, from Los Angeles to Clementine street, which was reduced to four inch for the balance of the distance. NEW DIRECTIONS FOR SELLING A. R.

H. G. Ames was duly elected chairman and J. F. Ahlborn secretary, and after a careful consideration your committee unanimously agreed that a merger of the above named bodies would be of great benefit to the progress and prosperity of Anaheim and vicinity, and your committee hereby recommends that the chamber of commerce and the retail merchants association unite under the name of the "Anaheim Board of Trade." The committee further recommends that a joint meeting of the members of the abovemanded bodies be held to consider and ratify the recommendation of your committee, and adopt such rules and regulations to govern the proposed board of trade as they see fit. Committee. This resolution was presented to the board of directors of the chamber of commerce Monday evening and unanimously adopted, and on motion of Holcomb, Monday evening, March 27th, was fixed as the date for holding a joint meeting of the two bodies to ratify the action of the committee provided the merchants adopt it at their regular meeting Monday evening. Almost a year ago a committee consisting of Messrs. Falkenstein, Eygabroad and Angell was appointed by the president to cooperate with the Ebell club in securing a site and for The work of laying the new water pipe on East Broadway, the contract for which was let to W. L. Kreuscher, was finished Saturday and Kreuscher's men filled in the trenches the first of the week. The main is just one mile long, running from Los Angeles to Walnut street along the south side of Broadway. Six inch pipe was laid for two blocks, from Los Angeles to Clementine street, which was reduced to four inch for the balance of the distance. The many wet spells interfered considerably with Mr. Kreuscher's work, but he has made excellent progress nevertheless and finished sooner than could have been expected. A NEW INDUSTRY Cultivation of Mushroom May be Added to Other Products What may possibly develop into another profitable industry for this region was sprung recently by L. H. Fellows, a New England horticulturist, who has been for some time girdling the territory adjacent to Los Angeles with a view to the introduction of mushroom culture in Southern California. The delicate mushroom is one of the most difficult of all vegetables to raise, and is grown mostly in cellars or dark and damp enclosures. In the wild state, however, it grows in profusion around Anaheim, and Mr. Fellows thinks this an ideal spot for the culture of the luscious fungi for the market as it could be produced here with much less trouble and cost. The market is always certain and the prices high, especially in Southern California where high-priced tourist hotels abound. BOARD OF TRADE Committees Meet and Resolve Upon a Merger Committees representing the chamber of commerce and Merchants association met at the office of Attorney Ames on Friday evening and agreed to report to their respective bodies resolutions in favor of merging the two organizations under the name of the Board of Trade. Representing the former were H. G. Ames and C. F. Grim, the latter being represented by J. W. Duckworth, J. F. Ahlborn and Earl Dutton. A larger and stronger association is in view, working to a common end, while at present the two are at times at cross purposes, Principal business was election directors. They were chosen: Peck, E.

Almost a year ago a committee consisting of Messrs. Falkenstein, Eygabroad and Angell was appointed by the president to cooperate with the Ebell club in securing a site and for raising funds for a public park. The committee had forgotten the matter but the ladies have been working ever since and brought the matter to the attention of the board Monday evening. A new committee consisting of Falkenstein, Eygabroad and Vander Horck was appointed to work in conjunction with the Ebell club and to secure options on suitable tracts. A site on El Camino Real is preferred if it can be secured at a reasonable figure. The committee agreed to get together and get busy and keep busy until the park is assured. The recent census report having demonstrated that Anaheim is not getting justice in comparison with neighboring towns by reason of its territorial dimensions the question of expansion was introduced. The board unanimously favored extending the city limits and creating a greater Anaheim as it would add a thousand or more to the population and vastly increase the assessed valuation, but concluded to lay the matter over for the new board of trade to wrestle. The matter of a signal bell at the Santa Fe crossing on Broadway was again taken up. Several months ago the railroad officials were asked to erect a bell there as there is much travel on that road and the crossing is a dangerous one, but no attention has so far been paid to the request. On motion of Falkenstein a commit- ENGINEER BYERS HERE Former Manager of Municipal Electrical Plant J. H. Byers who twelve years ago was in charge of the city powerhouse was in town this week making minor alterations to a tubular boiler recently installed at the plant. Mr. Byers is with a Los Angeles ironworks firm which furnished the boiler, and comes in capacity as an expert mechanic to set minor details in working order. After leaving Anaheim he was for several years attached to the quartermaster's department of the army at San Francisco, and was later foreman of the electrical department of the Union ironworks. He has been a resident of Los Angeles, for some years past. He finds many changes in Anaheim since leaving and notes on all sides locally signs of progress and prosperity. GERALD SANDILANDS ILL Gerald Sandilands has been indisposed this week, and his place as manager of the association packing-house is being temporarily filled by C. E. Holcomb. AHEIM GAZE ANAHEIM, CALIFORNIA, THURSDAY, MARCH 9, 1911 NEW DIRECTORS FOR SUGAR FACTORY A. R. PECK SUCCEEDS C. M.WARNER AS PRESIDENT E. T. Stimson of Los Angeles succeeds C.H. Perkins, New York, as Directors—Local Men on Board—Manager Hadsell Reads Report Showing Corporation in Excellent Condition—2500 Acres of Beets Promising Good Stand Showing the corporation to be in excellent financial as well as physical condition, the report of Manager Hadsell, made to stockholders of the sugar company at their annual meeting on Monday evoked much favorable comment. Mr. Hadsell presented itemized statements showing amounts of money received and disbursed, which proved the company not only to have been ably managed the past year, but to be in prime condition as to solvency. Twenty-five hundred acres were reported as having been planted to beets, with good stands and excellent prospects for a good million pounds of sweetness extracted from five thousand acres of Orange county soil every year. If converted into candy, as suggested by the boy, it would be sufficient to supply every man, woman, child and baby in California with more than eight pounds per year. If turned over to Santa Claus he would have enough to leave a couple of pounds in every stocking he found waiting for him in the United States next Christmas eve. But sugar is not the only sweet thing that is native to the soil of Anaheim. The young ladies of this city have long been noted for their—but what's the use wasting valuable space repeating a fact that is so well known.

The points were awarded as follows: First place, 5 points; second place 3 points; third place 1 point. Open Water Way on Sycamore St. Will Fade Away Anaheim, March 4, 1911. A regular meeting of the board of directors of the A.U.W.Co. was held on the above date, with all members present except McLauchlin. Superintendent Porter reported upon the improvements made along the upper canal during the past month, which received the full approval of the board. On motion the secretary was instructed to notify the Janss company that the several delivery gates now in use along the canal between the old Olinda ranch house and the proposed location of the new delivery gate, would be closed upon the completion of the proposed new gate. The report of the finance committee was received and filed, and warrants were ordered drawn in payment of the various demands. Reports of the treasurer, superintendent and secretary were each in turn received and filed. The secretary submitted a report to be filed with the state board of equalization, and same was approved and ordered forwarded. A communication was received from the board of trustees of the city of Anaheim, requesting that the open ditch on the north side of Sycamore street, between Los Angeles and Lemon, be replaced by a pipeline, in order that improvements may be made in the part of the Zeyn estate that has been subdivided into lots. The matter was taken under consideration, but no definite action taken. Communications from the county clerk and the president of the Mercantile Investment Co. regarding accounts due the A.U.W. Co. were referred to the secretary. The request of L. D. Timmons for the extension of the ditch at his property to the west line of his ranch, was referred to the ditch committee to investigate and report. Applications on file for the transfer of stock were on motion granted. Mr. Schlotter appeared before the board in regard to piping part of the ditch along his property. He was advised of the requirements and the matter was left over for further consideration. O. H. Schumacher and E. Edson appeared before the board in regard to the proposed agreement concerning the pipe line to be constructed at Wednesday between the two schools saw a very interesting and stubbornly fought contest. In track as well as in football a "Kelly" seems to bob up and act as a hoodoo to the local athletes. For Fullerton has a Kelly as well as Orange, and he seemed to be the whole team. The locals showed up well for the first time and are not by any means going to let Kelly win all the glory. The points were awarded as follows: First place, 5 points; second place, 3 points; third place, 1 point The contestants were: Anaheim, Tipton, Baker, Gould, Gates, Barnes, Northland, Rannow, Yorba, Beebe, Spencer. Fullerton, Kelly, King, Gobar, Fuller, Good, Lemke, Ortego and Timmons. The results were as follows: Fifty yard dash: Kelly, Baker, King—7 seconds.

The number of first places were as follows: Kelly five, Tipton four, King one, Lemke one, Beebe one. Next Saturday the first of the league games will be played at Santa Ana between the Anaheim and Santa Ana high schools. The county track meet will be held this year in this city on the high school grounds. A record crowd is expected and many good records will probably be made. Miss Irene Mills attended a meeting of the representatives of the high schools in Orange county at Santa Ana on Saturday to arrange for the extemporaneous debate with Huntington Beach. The debate is to be without interruption from the elements. The big building already appears overcrowded with tanks, boilers, vats, pipes, wheels, pumps and engines, but many carloads of the same articles are waiting in the yards to be fitted into their proper places. Twice since work was begun on the buildings has the capacity of the factory been increased—the first time to 700 tons and the last to 750 tons per day. To accommodate this increase and extra room needed for the expansion the spacious cupolo provided for in the original design has been transformed into working-rooms. A representative of the Gazette sauntered out to the sugar factory Saturday to see if any new developments could be noted. On the spur switch in front of the big plant he ran up against three boys who were sitting on the ties and gazing with fond anticipation at the buildings. "Say, mister, is it straight, or is this guy a-kiddin' me?" enquired one of the youngsters. "What's the subject, sonny?" "Why this kid says that Mr. Hadsell says that they're goin' ter make twenty-two million pounds of sugar over there every year. Is it straight?" "I heard Mr. Hadsell make that remark myself," replied the rep. "Well, d'you believe it?" "Mr. Hadsell used to play with George Washington when he was a boy. He couldn't prevaricate. Of course I believe it." "Gee," exclaimed the boy, "Oh, Gee. Just think of the candy and the taffy and the fudge that'll make. Say mister, d'you think candy'll be any cheaper in Anaheim when they begin makin' sugar?" "You'll have to ask Mr. Hadsell about that," answered the scribe. Come to think of it, those figures are rather astounding. Twenty-two applications on file for the transfer of stock were on motion granted. Mr. Schlotter appeared before the board in regard to piping part of the ditch along his property. He was advised of the requirements and the matter was left over for further consideration. O. H. Schumacher and E. Edson appeared before the board in regard to the proposed agreement concerning the pipe line to be constructed at their properties. The parties objected to signing the agreement in the present form, and after discussion the matter was left for further investigation, and the superintendent was requested to postpone operations on the pipe line until a satisfactory agreement could be arranged. NEW LODGING HOUSE Thirty-Room Structure Being Erected on Hermine Street The congestion among Anaheim hotels and rooming houses will be somewhat relieved within the next few weeks by the addition of a thirty-room lodging house which J. D. Heitshusen is preparing to build on Hermine street, just opposite the sanitarium. The contract for the building has not yet been let but the plans, submitted by architects Bender & Silbernagel, were accepted by Mr. Heitshusen and work will begin as soon as the ground is in shape. The dimensions of the building are 100x34 feet with an eight-foot screen porch in the rear. It will be two stories high, and thirty lodging rooms, exclusive of bathrooms and office will be furnished and fitted up in a substantial and fitting style. The work will be rushed as rapidly as possible. The contract will probably be let and work begun on the building this week. Miss Irene Mills attended a meeting of the representatives of the high schools in Orange county at Santa Ana on Saturday to arrange for the extemporaneous debate with Huntington Beach. The debate is to be held in this city Friday evening, April 7th, upon the question, Resolved, that the commission form of government should be generally adopted in the cities of the United States. R. I. Turner of manual training, will hereafter assist in coaching the baseball squad, and Mr. Culp will devote most of his attention until April 1 to the track men. Huntington Beach has lost a couple league debates this year and is going to try to take Anaheim's scalp to help make up for lost honors. But our best talent will be on hand, and we will try for the Davis cup harder than ever. L. O. Culp was detained in Santa Ana on Monday, and was unable to meet his commercial classes. At a meeting of the county board of education at Santa Ana, Huntington Beach was selected as the place for holding the annual forensic contest this year. All high schools in the county will be represented. The sphere of each class will be as usual: Seniors, orations; juniors, essays; sophomores, original stories; freshman, declamations. The time limit for all but the declamations is 15 minutes. The stories and declamations will be held in the afternoon; essays and orations in the evening. The score of the afternoon contests will be announced in the afternoon instead of evening, as formerly. A ruling was made, on account of BODY HERE WEN MR. KELLY?

The contest will be held the afternoon and evening of Saturday, May 6th. It is hoped that a large crowd of rooters will accompany the debaters to Long Beach on March 24 and help put one over the beach city in debating. The party will leave on the afternoon train and return on the Owl at midnight. Monday evening the seniors enjoyed a social time at the home of Miss Elsa Asher. Twenty-five high school juniors and grammar pupils together with a number of students from Fullerton, enjoyed a banquet, a dance, and a social hour or two at the Masonic hall, corner of Chartres and Los Angeles streets on Saturday evening. Misses Gladys Gervals, Lila Abbott, Mildred Clemens and Lenore Egge, assisted by a number of young gentlemen students, were the instigators of the affair, and Prof. W. H. Watkins, head of the history department of the high school, and his wife acted as chaperons. The professor and his wife had a difficult time herding such a lively bunch, but they got them all safely at home at halfmonths ago. The city of Fullerton voted practically unanimously in favor of the bonds, the vote being 343 to 19 against. The vote in the enitre district was 524 to 189. Some of the outlying precincts opposed the bonds, but the largest vote in Fullerton carried the day for the bonds.

RESOLUTIONS OF CONDOLENCE Adopted by Rebekahs and Fraternal Aid The following resolutions of condolence upon the death of Mrs. Georgia Gade Litten and S. O. Llewellyn were adopted at a meeting of Lois Rebekah lodge held on Friday evening, March 3: Whereas, our lodge has again suffered loss in the death of Sister Georgia Gade Litten, who departed this life on January 23, 1911, be it resolved that we the members of Lois Rebekah lodge, No. 268, do extend our heartfelt sympathy to her bereaved family. Resolved, that as a token of respect our charter be draped in mourning for a period of thirty days. Be it further resolved, that a copy of these resolutions be spread upon the minutes of our lodge, a copy sent to the relatives and one printed in the local papers. Committee—Cornelia R.

The city of Fullerton voted practically unanimously in favor of the bonds, the vote being 343 to 19 against. The vote in the entire district was 524 to 189. Some of the outlying precincts opposed the bonds, but the largest vote in Fullerton carried the day for the bonds. Other school districts in the union district voted as follows: Buena Park—46 no, 1 yes. La Habra—12 yes, 21 no. Placentia—44 yes, 29 no. Randolph—19 yes, 20 no. Orangethorpe—28 yes, 15 no. Olinda—75 yes, 39 no. Fullerton—345 yes, 19 no. This decision on the part of the district makes impossible a merger of the Fullerton and Anaheim districts, which has been under discussion for some months past. While many people in both union districts favored a merger as a splendid educational movement, citizens of Fullerton opposed it, and it is also true no little opposition existed to the merger in this city. The Anaheim grammar school district will probably call an election in the near future for voting bonds for a new schoolhouse in this city. Commonwealth school district east of town will on Saturday vote upon the issue of $5500 bonds for erection of a new schoolhouse in that district. TED DICKEL GOES NORTH Accepts Position With Mining Company in Washington Ted Dickel has accepted a position as superintendent of the smelting works at a gold mine at Republic Washington, and on Thursday left Mazatlan, Mexico, by steamer for his new post of duty. Ted has been in charge of a cyanide plant at the Bradbury mine at Rosario, Mexico where he has been since last October. He had under consideration for some time the offer of a position at the Republic mine, and last week decided to accept it. He writes that conditions in Mexico are unsettled because of the insurrection, a number of men having been drafted into the army.

Editor Gazette.-Referring to the paragraph in Chas. H. Fischer's letter of Feb. 23, addressed to Umpire Perry of Olinda and published in your issue of March 7, in which I am alleged to have said that "Perry will not umpire another game for me, if I can get another man," I hereby most emphatically and most positively deny in toto ever having uttered the same or anything that could by any possibility be construed as such either to Mr. Fischer or any one else and I furthermore brand the statement as a malicious one. On the contrary, I believe and have always contended that Mr. Perry endeavored to do the fair, square thing by all concerned. Many teams have praised his umpliring highly, and several that played returned dates especially asked for him as an umpire. Yours truly, J. P. Martin, Mgr. Olinda Baseball Club. EXERCISES POSTPONED Arbor day exercises which were to have been held at the primary school on Tuesday afternoon were postponed on account of rainy weather.
