NEW BOARD OF TRADE EFFECTS ORGANIZATION CHAMBER OF COMMERCE AND MERCHANTS ASSOCIATION CONSOLIDATED Henry M. Adams President of New Body—Committee Reports Magnolia People Reject All Overtures—Adolphus Busche, St. Louis Millionaire, Interested in Anaheim Hotel Proposition—Get Acquainted Trip to Be Pulled Off on Wednesday, April 5 Following the example of the chamber of commerce the merchants association voted itself out of existence Monday evening after transacting the usual routine business and the new Anaheim Board of Trade was organized. The committee on by-laws had not yet perfected a code of rules for the government of the new body, therefore with the exception of articles one and four the adoption of the laws was postponed until the next meeting. Article one related to the name of the association and article trips daily except Saturday when he will make three trips. Fifty cents will be the fare one way, or 75 cents for the round trip. A resolution endorsing the proposition was passed. A. A. Mills introduced the subject of what is called the "back haul proposition." He said that a carload of merchandise billed to Anaheim from the east would cost $20 more freight if switched off here than it would if billed to Los Angeles and carried on to that point, because the railroad charged freight to Los Angeles and back again whether the car was sent there or not. He thought this state of affairs could be remedied if the proper officials were appealed to and Messrs. Renner, Mills and Beebe were appointed to consult the officials on the matter. LADIES IN BLACKFACE Society Matrons Real Entertainers at Opera-House A record-breaking audience filled the opera-house on Thursday evening to witness the entertainment given by lady minstrels. The performance proved to be one of merit, the singing being excellent and the music of a high order of excellence. While some of the gags were old enough to The committee on by-laws had not yet perfected a code of rules for the government of the new body, therefore with the exception of articles one and four the adoption of the laws was postponed until the next meeting. Article one related to the name of the association and article four to the officers who will direct its course in the future. The committee's report recommended a board of directors consisting of five members, but on motion of J. H. Whitaker this was amended so as to read: "The officers of this association shall consist of the president, vice president, secretary, treasurer, and five directors, and the officers shall be ex-officio members of the board of directors." The name of Henry M. Adams was presented for president and as everybody thought it was good enough he was elected by a unanimous vote. O. H. Renner was elected vice-president, J. F. Ahlborn secretary, and C. Z. Vander Horck treasurer. Fifteen names were presented for members of the board of directors, and on counting the ballots it was found that J. W. Duckworth, Charles Eygabroad, H. G. Ames, O. A. Mullinix and Mr. Martenet were elected. J. W. Duckworth, of the sewer-farm committee, reported that the Magnolia improvement association had rejected all the overtures made by the committee and had refused to appoint a committee to assist a like committee from Anaheim in securing a suitable location. He asked, therefore, that he be discharged, as his usefulness was at an end. The hotel committee, through its chairman, J. H. Whittaker, reported progress which, if carried to a successful issue, will mean much to Anaheim. A number of German capitalists, headed by Adolphus Busch, the millionaire St. Lousis brewer, had been interested in the enterprise, and would furnish ample capital if they found conditions as reported by the committee. Mr. Busch and his associates would visit Anaheim in a short time and make a personal investigation as the idea of a German tourist hotel appealed to them, and if the investigation was satisfactory the plans of the local committee would be enlarged upon and buildings and gardens far beyond the dreams of Anaheim would be constructed. LADIES IN BLACKFACE Society Matrons Real Entertainers at Opera-House A record-breaking audience filled the opera-house on Thursday evening to witness the entertainment given by lady minstrels. The performance proved to be one of merit, the singing being excellent and the music of a high order of excellence. While some of the gags were old enough to stay out late at night, many of them were funny and evoked uproarious laughter. The program was as follows: FIRST PART Southern Melodies, Orchestra. Opening Chorus, Entire Company. Winter—Barney Williams; (One of the Warmest Little Snowballs) A Grand Piano, or a Baby Grand, by Billy Van; (A Real Professional). Sugar Moon, by Wm. Haverly; (A Bunch of Sweetness) All that I Ask of You is Love, by Mr. Primrose; (He'll Get It Soon) When he Comes In I'm Going Out, Mr. Dockstader. (When he Starts to Sing Don't All Go Out). Grand Finale, by Entire Company. Intermission, Selection by Mrs. Adams' Stringed Orchestra. (Sunny South). SECOND PART Introducing Song and Dance Artists. Reading, Miss Kellenberger.

Among ladies taking part in the performance were Mrs. Simpson, Mrs. Calkins, Mrs. Holland, Mrs. Angell, Mrs. McLauchlin, Mrs. Dyer, Miss Elsa Asher, Miss Janss, Miss Evelyn Finney, and a chorus of high school girls. Mr. Hamler acted as interlocutor. Music was furnished by the high-school orchestra, Mrs. Adams' mandolin orchestra and the city orchestra. REPORT ON IRRIGATION Department of Agriculture Gives Results of Twenty Years Work The U. S. Department of Agriculture has just issued a progress report of co-operative irrigation investigations in California covering the ten-year period 1900-1910 which is available for free distribution on application to U. S. Irrigation Investigations Berkeley, Cal., or the Secretary of Agriculture at Washington, D. C. This report gives a summary of the irrigation work of the department of agriculture since 1900 in cooperation with the state of California, with a list and outline of all irrigation reports issued by the department or now in press. One of the main portions of the millionaire St. Louis brewer, had been interested in the enterprise, and would furnish ample capital if they found conditions as reported by the committee. Mr. Busch and his associates would visit Anaheim in a short time and make a personal investigation as the idea of a German tourist hotel appealed to them, and if the investigation was satisfactory the plans of the local committee would be enlarged upon and buildings and gardens far beyond the dreams of Anaheim would be constructed. Another date has been fixed for the "Get-Acquainted Trip" through the rural sections of Orange county. Wednesday, April 5th, is the day decided upon, and if the weather man permits, 32 automobiles and 130 persons including the Anaheim band will make the circle. The Anaheim post-office will be the starting point and the procession will leave there at 9 o'clock sharp on the above date. All who are donating machines and all who expect to accompany the party should be on hand at the postoffice at that hour as delays or breaks in the schedule cannot be permitted. Banners and streamers with appropriate inscriptions have been provided. Huntington Beach is the objective point and will be reached in time for lunch. The preparations making for this trip now are much more elaborate than at first planned. The associated chambers of commerce will meet at Garden Grove on Wednesday evening, March 29, and Messrs. Renner, Valjean and Whittaker were appointed a committee to ascertain the number who desired to attend from Anaheim and to arrange for their entertainment. M. P. Caldwell is desirous of establishing an auto stage line between Anaheim and Olinda and solicited the cooperation of the board in the undertaking. He will make two round year period 1900-1910 which is available for free distribution on application to U. S. Irrigation Investigations Berkeley, Cal., or the Secretary of Agriculture at Washington, D. C. This report gives a summary of the irrigation work of the department of agriculture since 1900 in cooperation with the state of California, with a list and outline of all irrigation reports issued by the department or now in press. One of the main portions of the report is a review of the water-right situation in California and of the efforts heretofore made to obtain irrigation legislation for California along the lines of that in force in the other irrigated states. A state commission for the preparation of an irrigation law for California is suggested. The report is known as Circular 108 of the Office of Experiment Stations and is entitled "Second Progress Report of Cooperative Irrigation Investigations in California." EASTERN STAR ENTERTAINS Grand Worthy Matron Guest of Local Chapter A special meeting of Chispa Chapter, No. 151, O.E.S., was held Monday evening in honor of a visit from Mrs. Ida M. Dalton, grand worthy matron of California. Accompanying the worthy grand matron were Mrs. Lena W. Stannard, grand marshal, and Mrs. Emma Alexander, district deputy grand matron. The degrees of the order were conferred upon Mrs. Elisa Rankin. After the ceremonies the grand worthy matron was presented with a beautiful hand-painted dish. There was a large gathering of visitors, Fullerton and BuenaPark chapters attending. A splendid banquet was served which was enjoyed by all. Over 80 members of the order were present. The new incorporation sixteen square miles voted into existence territorially in the Fullerton, which square miles. The begins at what is Browning corner and runs thence four miles west.

AHEIM GAZE ANAHEIM, CALIFORNIA, THURSDAY, MARCH 30, 1911 IRRESISTIBLE FORCE IMMOVABLE-OBJECT WEST SIDERS SEEKING TO STOP SEWER FARM Contest in Court Seems Imminent if Proposed New Town of Stanton is Permitted by Supervisors, Who will Hear Application April 5—Sixteen Square Miles of Territory Includes Gilbert Ranch, Upon Which City of Anaheim Now Holds an Option Banded together for the purpose of preventing this city from maintaining a sewer farm upon the seventy-three-acre Gilbert tract, residents of the west country seem determined to throw the entire proceedings into the courts, where a long-drawn-out lawsuit will be the result of their efforts to erect themselves into a municipal form of government. Turning neither to right or left, and with in view only the elimination of septic tanks in their midst, West Side citizens have progressed in their fight against this city so far that their petition unsuccessful in obtaining an ocean outfall, and it is to be doubted if that city should be permitted to empty its sewage into Newport bay. Likewise it is to be doubted if this city should be permitted to outfall into tidewater at Bay City, for the most valuable fish and mollusk beds on the lower coast exist at that point. These are all matters for the future to take up. An ocean outlet is at the present time out of reach of this city. The town has had its eye on the Gilbert ranch for a year. The west siders say nay. Like an irresistible force meeting an immovable object is this veritable tempest in the sewer teapot. One result of the incorporation of the new town will be the elimination of eight miles of paved highway contemplated by the highway commissioners, whose report is printed in another column. At $10,000 per mile, this will necessitate an expenditure of a large sum of money on the part of the young town, if it desires to connect with the contemplated highway system. GET-ACQUAINTED TRIP Wednesday Next, April 5, Date Selected MAJ. GEN. STOBBART GUEST OF PYTHIANS COMMANDING OFFICER U.R.K.P. PAYS CITY OFFICIAL VISIT Schopl Trustees Call $100,000 Bond Election, April 24—High School to Erect $75,000 Structure at Corner of Center and Citron—Promoter Sells No Railroad Stock—Parent Teacher's Meeting—Death of H. Kruger—Iridescent Dream Maj.-Gen. Arthur J. Stobbart of St. Paul, Minn., commander in chief of the uniform rank, K. P., arrived on Wednesday evening from Los Angeles He was accompanied by Brig.-Gen. Driffill of Oxnard, commanding the uniform rank K. P. of California and staff. Col. J. O. Royer escorted the distinguished party to town. The distinguished party were driven here in autos and was taken to Col. Royer's residence for dinner. A number of local Pythians were guests of Col. Royer during the afternoon and evening. Headed by the Pythian band, loc- ING a sewer farm upon the seventy-three-acre Gilbert tract, residents of the west country seem determined to throw the entire proceedings into the courts, where a long-drawn-out lawsuit will be the result of their efforts to erect themselves into a municipal form of government. Turning meither to right or left, and with in view only the elimination of septic tanks in their midst, West Side citizens have progressed in their fight against this city so far that their petition asking a vote upon incorporation has been presented to the supervisors, and April 5 fixed upon as the date for hearing the same. A petition signed by many residents of the Magnolia, Clair and Benedict sections was presented the supervisors some days ago, and an order made naming the date as the time for hearing all concerned. That this city will file objection to granting the petition, is evident from what may be gathered about the city hall. While the city trustees have said no word relative to the matter, it is felt that a protest will be filed with the supervisors to the move, and if that be insufficient to stay the West Siders, injunction proceedings may be brought in court restraining them from interfering with the establishment of a sewer farm on the Gilbert ranch. In October the city acquired an option upon the ranch, the price to be $22,000, which includes stock and the improvements. Five hundred dollars was paid upon the option, and whether Gilbert will be richer by that amount, or whether the West Siders will lose out in their fight, must remain a question for the future to determine. Some people avail that even if the new town of Stanton be formed, and the ranch be thus made unavailable for the purposes intended, it were the part of wisdom to purchase it, for they hold it is cheap at the price. The city may purchase the site out of the bond money voted, even if no sewer farm be immediately located thereupon, and Gilbert, whatever the outcome of the comic-opera war, will probably have to move. The new incorporation takes in sixteen square miles, and will be, if voted into existence, the largest town territorially in the county, next to Fullerton, which covers eighteen square miles. The northeast corner begins at what is popularly called the Browning corner northwest of town, and runs thence to Centralia avenue, four miles west. All lands south of this line are embraced in the new townsite. Running south the limits of eight miles of paved highway contemplated by the highway commissioners, whose report is printed in another column. At $10,000 per mile, this will necessitate an expenditure of a large sum of money on the part of the young town, if it desires to connect with the contemplated highway system. GET-ACQUAINTED TRIP Wednesday Next, April 5, Date Selected Barring rain, the get-acquainted trip of Anaheim merchants will occur on Wednesday next, April 5. More than 100 persons will be in the party, which will require 25 or more autos. Prof. Crowther's juvenile band and the Concordia chorus will accompany the party, and will render instrumental as well as vocal music. The parade will leave at 9 o'clock for Olive, where the Olive flour mill will present each member with a miniature sack of flour. At Orange and Santa Ana the freedom of the city will be extended, and as at Olive there will be speechifying and handshaking. A lunch will be partaken of at Huntington Beach. Bolsa, Smeltzer, Westminster and Garden Grove will be visited. From all points come words of welcome to the Anaheimers, and the trip is looked forward to with anticipations of great pleasure. Chairman Duckworth of the committee of arrangements yesterday announced the following itinerary of the trip: Arrive at Olive 9.30, Orange at 10.30, Santa Ana 11.30, Bolsa 12.30, Huntington Beach 1 o'clock. Lunch will be served at the inn. Wintersburg will be reached on the return at 3 o'clock, Smeltzer 3.30, Westminster 4, and Garden Grove at 5. Addresses will be delivered at various points by orators in the party, including Postmaster Duckworth, Homer G. Ames, F. C. Spencer, H. S.Hadell, J. F. Ahlborn and H. Stern. HIGH SCHOOL TRACKMEET Orange County Students to Compete Here Next Saturday The Orange county high school athletic association will hold its annual track meet on the Anaheim grounds Saturday afternoon at 2 o'clock.Anaheim, Santa Ana, Orange, Fullerton, and Huntington Beach high schools will have entries in each event. The number of entries are: Anaheim 21, Santa Ana 12, Orange 10, Huntington Beach10, Fullerton 8. Total 70. The debate with Long Beach Fri The new incorporation takes in sixteen square miles, and will be, if voted into existence, the largest town territorially in the county, next to Fullerton, which covers eighteen square miles. The northeast corner begins at what is popularly called the Browning corner northwest of town, and runs thence to Centralia avenue, four miles west. All lands south of this line are embraced in the new townsite. Running south, the limits extend to Alamitos road, thence east to Garden Grove road, and thence north to the point of beginning. The lines come to within one half mile of this city's western border, and approach to within slightly in excess of half a mile of Fullerton, for some of the west siders look forward to the time when that town may be looking for sewer outfall, and would shut them out as effectually as they would this city. The test will come before the supervisors on the 5th of April, and many things may eventuate which are now only hinted at. It may be possible that residents of outlying sections of the incorporation may petition to be excluded and some oratory may be set loose regarding the propriety of changing its name. One thing may be certain. This city will put up a stiff fight against the incorporation. The city feels it has no other alternative. An outfall at the ocean is not to be thought of at this time; that would consume the entire $90,-000 bond issue, even if an available site might be secured, and this is out of the question. In the years to come, probably an ocean outfall will solve the sewer problem, but that is a matter for the county to take up—at least the incorporated towns not on the coast—and it is quite beyond the power of a single town to take up at this time. Santa Ana has been Orange County Students to Compete Here Next Saturday The Orange county high school athletic association will hold its annual track meet on the Anaheim grounds Saturday afternoon at 2 o'clock.Anaheim, Santa Ana, Orange, Fullerton, and Huntington Beach high schools will have entries in each event.

The seniors have engaged Willis Marks of Los Angeles to coach their team this year. BOARD OF TRADE The next meeting of the Board of Trade will take place on Monday, April 3, 1911, in Library building at 8 p.m. All members of the former Chamber of Commerce and Merchants Association will please attend this meeting, for the purpose of adopting the By-Laws and transact such other business as may present itself. J. Frederick Ahlborn, Secretary Board of Trade. The high school district contemplates the purchase of eleven acres of the Bittner property at the corner of Center and Citron streets, at $20,000. A $75,000 building will be erected thereon. The official call for the high school bond election, together with the notice for change of site from the present to the new location, will be found published in another column. DEATH OF HERMAN KRUGER Cablegram Announcing Demise at Hilo, Hawaii Col. J. O. Royer on Wednesday evening received a cablegram from Hilo lodge, No. 7, K.P., in Hawaii, announcing the death of Herman Kruger. Hilo asked whether the body should be shipped here for interment. Col. Royer promptly cabled instructions to forward the remains hither. Mr. Kruger was a member of Anaheim lodge. The body is expected to arrive some time this week. The funeral will be under auspices of the local lodge. The body will be interred beside that of Mrs. Kruger, who passed away ten years ago. Mr. Kruger was taken to Hilo by his daughter, Mrs. McClellan, who came from the islands some weeks ago to convey him to her home on the islands... He had been in ill health for several years, suffering with a cancerous growth on the side. The trip seems to have resulted unfavorably, for he died soon after his arrival. Deceased had been a resident of this section for many years, and was held in high esteem by all who knew him. Charley Bowlen has returned from Sacramento, where he held a position as file clerk in the assembly during the legislative session. AZETTE 0, 1911 NUMBER 24 N.

Lindsley Smith Finds Buyers Few and Far Between No stock of the Stockton and Tidewater railroad was placed in this city by A. Lindsley Smith, who represented that corporation here last week. Mr. Smith found buyers scarce and his persuasive eloquence fell upon deaf ears. The Stockton and Tidewater railroad is a new company engaged in building an electric line from Stockton to Modesto, a distance of 79 miles. No rails have been laid, but the roadbed is said to have been graded a considerable distance. The fact that the proposed line is flanked on both sides by the Southern Pacific and Santa Fe railroads did not enthuse local investors. Mr. Smith found the local field very well covered by stock solicitors, and learned local capitalists preferred home stock to that offered in outlying sections. He and his wife left for Los Angeles early in the week. He failed to make a single sale. AN IRIDESCENT DREAM Petitions for Highschool Merger Ar- WATER SHARES KITE 11 RESULT OF-OIL, WELL 400 BARREL PRODUCER IN LA HABRA RESERVOIR SITE 400-Acre Tract Vaults in Value to $5000 Per Acre—Pipe Not Yet Pierced, and Largely Increased Out Put, Looked for—Irrigators Get One-Eighth Royalty — Drilling to Continue—Fabulous Price Said to Have Been Offered Bringing in of a 400-barrel oil well in the La Habra reservoir site the past week has served to send shares in the Anaheim Union Water compa­ny in an upward flight, and yesterday it was reported no shares were to be procured at any price. The reservoir site comprises 400 acres in the foothills north of Placentia. William Loftus has for several months past been drilling for oil in the basin, and at a depth of 3400 feet is under­stood to have struck one of the best flowing wells in California. Loftus' contract requires that he keep one string of tools in constant AN IRIDESCENT DREAM Petitions for Highschool Merger Arrive on Slow Freight A petition has been in circulation for a fortnight past in Buena Park and Orangethorpe school districts and has been numerously signed, asking a merger of those districts with Anaheim union high school district, and that a new high school building be erected at the corner of Orangethorpe avenue and Spadra road. When shown to a resident of this school district this week, reply was made that time for merger had elapsed; that while Anaheim at first thought well of merging all the school districts in northern Orange county in one high school district, the matter had been dropped when Fullerton objected to it. Moreover, Anaheim would not at this time consider the erection of a high school at the point indicated. The petitions were called in early in the week. Neither Buena Park nor Orangethorpe can be excluded from Fullerton high school district unless a two-thirds vote of heads of families in the entire district be secured in favor of such exclusion. The district is bonded, and it is doubtful if any sentiment exists favorable to excluding them, outside those districts. Buena Park voted solidly against the recent bond issue, and it is known is anxious to get out of the union district. Orangethorpe also wants out. But both districts will have to grin and bear it. Bro. Starbuck is looking in their direction with a frown. He got them in. He will not let them out. What Starbuck says goes in F.U.H.S. HAWKEYES ORGANIZE Temporary Officers Elected on Monday Evening About 20 Iowans met at the banquet room of I.O.O.F. hall on Monday evening and organized an Iowa association. Judge Howard was elected temporary chairman and Elmer Imus secretary. U. V. Simpson treasurer. Committees were appointed and an attempt to enlarge the membership past week has served to send shares in the Anaheim Union Water company in an upward flight, and yesterday it was reported no shares were to be procured at any price. The reservoir site comprises 400 acres in the foothills north of Placentia. William Loftus has for several months past been drilling for oil in the basin, and at a depth of 3400 feet is understood to have struck one of the best flowing wells in California. Loftus' contract requires that he keep one string of tools in constant operation for a period of twenty years. Proving this ground to be oil land has sent its price to $5000 per acre. A number of company directors in town this week announced the land could not be bought for less money. Sales of oil land have been recently made at these figures at several points in the state. The reservoir site was purchased from the land company in August, 1898, for $12,000. It was bought for purposes of water storage, but no work upon it along that line has been attempted. Recent sales of stock were made at $62.50 per share, but no transfers are reported this week. Ten years ago the price was $75, but following the introduction of pumping plants prices declined. In the early 80's stock reached low-water mark, at $6. Speaking of the purchase of the tract a director who had much to do with the deal said yesterday: "The land was purchased at $30 per acre. Its purchase caused a vigorous protest on the part of a number of the stockholders, but I always considered it a good buy. It is worth $5000 per acre today. I do not look for any more assessments, but rather a substantial 'vidend, if the property is sold to the oil company.'" Many rumors were current this week to effect that an offer to purchase the site had been made. It is authoritatively announced that Loftus will immediately begin drilling three new wells on the lease. An enthusiastic irrigator, speaking of the oil find and a report that $2,000,000 had been offered for the reservoir tract, said yesterday that the transfer would mean a dividend of $250 to each shareholder in the water company. A number of stockholders hold more than 100 shares of stock, and these will receive, in event of the transfer, $25,000. One orange grower at Placentia holds better than 300 shares, and his cut of the pie will exceed $75,000. A Fullerton capitalist holds more than 400 shares, and his cut will be $100,000." HAWKEYES ORGANIZE Temporary Officers Elected on Monday Evening About 20 Iowans met at the banquet room of I.O.O.F. hall on Monday evening and organized an Iowa association. Judge Howard was elected temporary chairman and Elmer Imus secretary. U. V. Simpson treasurer. Committees were appointed and an attempt to enlarge the membership will be made the coming week. The purpose of the organization will be to boost Anaheim and create a friendly feeling among the Hawkeyes, and all have a real good time. All who were born in Iowa, lived in Iowa or passed through Iowa are eligible. The next meeting of the association will be at the same place on next Monday evening at 8 o'clock. WHAT CHILDREN ARE TAUGHT Exhibits of Drawing and other work at Parent-Teacher's Meeting The parent-teacher's association will hold its regular meeting at the high school building next Tuesday afternoon, April 4, at three o'clock. The drawing teachers of both the grammar and high schools are preparing an exhibit. Also the domestic science, manual training and physical-culture teachers of the high school will give demonstration lessons at that time. This meeting has been especially arranged for in order that the patrons of the Anaheim schools may see what those in authority are trying to do for their children. A very cordial invitation is extended to all interested in the schools. Bring some one with you that we may have a large attendance to repay the teachers for this extra work. P. J. Weisel was a business visitor in Los Angeles Tuesday. NO BROWNIES FOR JIM Division Superintendent Finds Depot in Apple-Pie Order W. H. Whalen, division superintendent of the Southern Pacific, was in town on an official inspection of the company property on Monday. Mr. Whalen has been recently assigned to this section, coming from Tucson, A.T., One day last week he visited all stations on the line incog, none of the boys knowing him. He said on Monday he found everything at the local depot in apple-pie order, and there would be no Brownies for Agent Pickering or Assistant Dugdale.
