ANOTHER HOTELRY LOOMS INTO VIEW CORNER OF CENTER AND PHILADELPHIA STREETS THE POSSIBLE SITE San Pedro Firm Buys the Adams Corner and May Build Hotel—Advertising Committee of Board of Trade Collects $548 and a Committee Appointed to Spend It—Another Military Company for Anaheim Endorsed—New Territory Asked to Join Our High School District There was something of interest on the boards every minute of the time at the Board of Trade meeting Monday evening. The interest began when Mr. Martenet stated that he could look far enough into the future to see a splendid hotel standing on the corner of Center and Philadelphia streets. A couple of gentlemen from San Pedro purchased that vacant corner of Dr. Adams a few days ago, the consideration being $10,000. While they did not come with a brass band and streamers to announce their future intentions and school. In extending this invitation we can conservatively state that the Anaheim Union High School stands first of the Orange county schools at the University; that it is economically operated; that a new plant, including domestic science, manual training, agriculture and horticulture is about to be built. Resolved, that in order to carry out the plan the high school trustees be requested to arrange for a low-speed (15-miles per hour) solid tire automobile. J. W. Skinner said that an eight passenger automobile, such as Mr. Mills described, would cost from $800 to $1200 per year. Judge Howard introduced the subject of reorganizing a military company at Anaheim, and also introduced Alvin Nowotny who, he said, knew more about the subject than he did and could better explain it. Mr. Nowotny said he had assurances from Col. Schrelber that Anaheim could again secure a company of militia if the rules were complied with. We now have a different governor and a new adjutant general, he said, and if 71 unobjectionable names are presented to the adjutant general, with the board of trade and the citizens backing the petition there is no question.

The interest began when Mr. Martenet stated that he could look far enough into the future to see a splendid hotel standing on the corner of Center and Philadelphia streets. A couple of gentlemen from San Pedro purchased that vacant corner of Dr. Adams a few days ago, the consideration being $10,000. While they did not come with a brass band and streamers to announce their future intentions and the real estate men through whom the property was purchased are reticent, it is understood that a San Pedro syndicate contemplate the immediate erection of a hotel on the property. This ground is directly across the street from the tract purchased a year or more ago by Gen. Royer for hotel purposes. A motion was passed extending a vote of thanks to Mr. Royer for his recent offer on the hotel proposition and pledging the Board of Trade to hold it in abeyance until something definite is heard from the San Pedro people. J. W. Duckworth, chairman of the advertising fund committee, reported that $548 had been secured and more was in sight. A committee, consisting of J. W. Duckworth, J. F. Ahlborn, P. H. Krick, Charles Eygabroad and C. F. Grim, was appointed to take charge of this fund and all subsequent subscriptions received and use it to the best advantage in boosting Anaheim. F. C. Ayars, representing the South west Contractor, of Los Angeles made a short speech showing the advantages of his publication for advertising purposes. Their rates, he said, were very reasonable, and besides by running an ad the board could have all the space desired for write-ups free of charge. The matter was referred to the advertising committee. Charles Eygabroad, chairman of the public improvements committee, talked at some length in favor of a public park. The Ebell society, he said, had long been raising a park fund, and had a considerable sum on hand toward it. He introduced a resolution urging the necessity of a park and asking the city trustees to secure a site immediately before land values further increase. Trustees Stark and Stock were present and both stated that the trustees favored a park but the board was handicapped for want of funds. "We have this sewer muddle on our hands at present," said Mr. Stark. Alvin Nowotny who, he said, knew more about the subject than he did and could better explain it. Mr. Nowotny said he had assurances from Col. Schrelber that Anaheim could again secure a company of militia if the rules were complied with. We now have a different governor and a new adjutant general, he said, and if 71 unobjectionable names are presented to the adjutant general, with the board of trade and the citizens backing the petition there is no question of success. Already 39 names have been listed, and it will be an easy matter to secure the requisite number. J. H. Whitaker spoke in favor of the matter and moved that a committee of three be appointed to draw up a suitable resolution for presentation to the Sacramento authorities. The motion passed and Messrs. Whitaker, Howard and Valjean were appointed. Secretary Ahlborn moved that the committee be instructed to assist in securing names of recruits, which was adopted. A. O. Mullinix reported that a number of merchants were desirous of pulling off and forming a separate organization. The matter was not acted upon as the board, generally, was opposed to the move. MEMORIAL SERVICES Odd Fellows Gather to Pay Tribute to Dead Odd Fellows hall was filled on Sunday afternoon with an audience which listened to an eloquent address by Rev. Markle on the aims and purposes of the order, viewed from the standpoint of memorial day observances. Mr. Markle spoke for upward of an hour, and feelingly referred to the fact that this might be his last address to those present. Only one member of the lodge, he said, had been summoned into the beyond during the year but no one knew when another would be called. The lodge had indeed been fortunate in losing only one member during the twelve-month, but no one could tell what the future held in store. He referred to the beginning of the order,and cited figures showing that during the past year nearly five and one-malf millions had been disbursed by Odd Fellows in charity. This did not include, he said, the many sleepless nights spent by the bedside of the sick, nor the time devoted to alleviating the suffering of the widow and fittings of the city, and the high school building for the purity considering the two mitted, on motif it was voted to day afternoon which time these cessful bidders Nine bids were general construc- four buildings, ing, three for tha wiring, six for tilating, and twi remarkable feast was the disparity mitted by the The lowest est contract was $86 est was $119,748 most forty thousand Secretary Spade the bonds had be State Board o ing to changes o ter had not ye the Attorney Ge as to the valid sequently the m available and co signed.

He introduced a resolution urging the necessity of a park and asking the city trustees to secure a site immediately before land values further increase. Trustees Stark and Stock were present and both stated that the trustees favored a park but the board was handicapped for want of funds. "We have this sewer muddle on our hands at present," said Mr. Stark, "and it is possible that extra demands may be made upon the treasury before that is settled, consequently it would not be policy to rush into unnecessary schemes calling for appropriations." Mr. Eygabroad's resolution passed and the committee will meet with the trustees at the next regular meeting and ask that the lot owned by the city on Hermine street be sold and the proceeds devoted to park purposes. A. A. Mills thought that inasmuch as Buena Park and other rural sections are divorcing themselves from Fullerton this would be an opportune time to extend the Anaheim high school district. He introduced the following resolution which passed and Chairman Adams appointed Professor Walker, Mr. Mills and Mr. Winters a committee to feel the pulse of the people of the districts mentioned and report the symptoms and sentiment at the next meeting. Resolved, by the Anaheim Board of Trade, that the high school trustees be asked to agree, if possible, to the junction of Savanna, Cypress, Centralia and Buena Park with the Anaheim Union High School District. Resolved, further, that we extend to the people and the trustees of those school districts a most cordial invitation to join the Anaheim high Extensive Improvements Contemplated on East Side M. E. Wallace was in town on Friday from Los Angeles, where he owns extensive property interests, as well as a large ranch at Pomona. Mr. Wallace leaves this week for Chicago, where he will remain until September. On his return he will begin the erection of a handsome residence on his 40-acre tract east of town, which he purchased two years ago from Mrs. Steley. He will move here with his family and take up his residence. Mr. Schoenhauer, who owns 43 acres adjoining him, will also erect a residence, and the 83-acre tract will be transformed into one of the show places of the county.

WHAT HAPPENED JONES BY BRIGHT GRAD CLASS SENIORS TO APPEAR IN SPARK-LING COMEDY THURSDAY EVENING Last Week of School Year Marked by Round of Social Festivities — Baccalaureate Sermon Draws Large Assemblage at Auditorium—Reception to Graduating Class—Commencement at Opera House on Friday Evening Promises Another Enjoyable Event—Glad Vacation Comes The Senior class play, "What Happened to Jones," will be presented by the Class of 1911 at the opera-house tonight. Rehearsals have been held for some time under the direction of Willis Marks of Los Angeles and a good play is promised. The cast of characters is as follows: Jones, who travels for a hymn-book house... Syril Tipton Ebenezer Goodly, a professor of anatomy... Wayne Goble Antony Goodly, D.D., Bishop of Ballarat... August Wilkie Richard Heatherly, engaged to Marjorie... Walter Spaeth Holder, policeman... Horace Howard fittings of the magnificent new seat of learning soon to be erected in this city, and the board met at the high school building Saturday evening for the purpose of opening and considering the sealed proposals. Ten or twelve representatives of competing firms were present, but after reading the twenty-three bids submitted, on motion of F. C. Spencer it was voted to adjourn until Tuesday afternoon at 2:30 o'clock, at which time the names of the successful bidders would be announced. Nine bids were received for the general construction work of the four buildings, three for the plumbing, three for the electrical work and wiring, six for the heating and ventilating, and two for the painting. A remarkable feature of the bidding was the disparity in the figures submitted by the various contractors. The lowest estimate for the general contract was $80,752, while the highest was $119,748, a difference of almost forty thousand dollars. Secretary Spencer explained that the bonds had been purchased by the State Board of Examiners, and owing to changes on the board the matter had not yet been submitted to the Attorney General for his opinion as to the validity of the issue, consequently the money was not yet available and contracts could not be signed. The bids, however, could be considered and the successful bidders designated, the contracts to be signed as soon as the bonds were legally O.K.'d. Following are the bids submitted, No. 1 being for the construction of the administration, commercial and language buildings and connecting colonnades, No. 2 the manual arts building, No. 3 science hall, and No. 4 the domestic science building: L.

The high school trustees met on Tuesday evening at the high school, being ready to announce their decision as to award of contracts, but owing to the non-availability of bond money, were unable so to do. The law requires that money must be in hand before contracts are awarded. This will probably be done at a meeting to be held the latter part of the week. Y.M.C.A. PICNIC All indications point to a big success of the Y.M.C.A. picnic to be held at the County Park on Friday, June 23. The committees are hard at work to make a good time possible for everybody. The children as well as the older folks will be provided for. To this end Mrs. Harold Wickett of Fullerton heads a committee on children's games. These games will be both competitive and group games so that all may take part. In the afternoon athletic sports will be run off as well as a baseball game. To those who have never been in a game of the "playground" variety a new sort of fun is in store for them. There will be a few clever stunts at noon during the luncheon period. Music will be furnished by the Garden Grove Y.M.C.A. band.

NEW POSTAL DEPOSITORY Postmaster Duckworth received official notice on Monday that his office had been designated as a postal savings depository, beginning July, 3, 1911, and that some official of the department had been directed to visit this office before the date indicated and who would explain the operation more fully. Postmaster Duckworth was also requested to recommend to the department the name of some employee of his office to have charge of that branch, and he recommended Miss Alice V. Robison for the duties. Miss Robison has been in the office for over four years and is perfectly qualified to fill the position. Commencement exercises on Friday evening. This is the second time that Mr. Rice has granted this favor, and the people of Anaheim fully appreciate his kindness. SHOWER FOR GRADUATE The Girls' Tennis Club spent a most delightful afternoon at Miss Frances Day's home on the ninth of June. The little affair was given in honor of Miss Mattie Lou Robertson who is the only one of the Tennis club graduating from the high school this year. After the arrival of the guests all were conducted to a small room where the shower was arranged. The guest of honor was then seated in a chair in the middle of the room and from a Japanese parasol hung high above her head, dainty presents floated down about her. She received them charmingly. It was altogether the most enjoyable beginning of a delightful series of entertainments planned by this class. A large crowd gathered in the high school auditorium on Sunday evening to hear the Baccalaureate sermon preached by Rev. F. A. Ziegler of the Methodist church. The large hall was filled to overflowing. Under Miss Ames' direction a chorus of mixed voices rendered several high-class anthems. The program was as follows: Song ... Chorus Invocation ... Rev. F. W. Mitchell Scripture Reading ... Rev. Harlow Song ... Chorus Baccalaureate Sermon, Rev. Ziegler Benediction.

TRUSTEES ACCEPT DYNAMO CONTRACT SPECIAL MEETING OF BOARD HELD TUESDAY EVENING Modified Contract Accepted and the Chairman and Clerk Authorized to Sign It—Three Building Permits Granted—Misses E. Kate Rea and Jean Adams Appointed on Library Board—Other Notes of Meeting The Board of Trustees met in extraordinary session Tuesday evening for the purpose of considering the contract presented by the Pacific Coast Manufacturing Company for the purchase of the new dynamo which had been recommended by Engineer Lewis at the previous meeting of the board. Mr. Lewis' endorsement was ratified, but the trustees objected to making a payment of $2525 on the machinery before its arrival consequently the contract was returned to the company with instructions to modify it. The new contract presented Tuesday night was satisfactory to the board, and on motion of Nebelung the chairman and clerk were in- HIGH SCHOOL NOTES The seniors were on Tuesday entertained at a noon luncheon at the home of Miss Lucile Smith. All the members of the class were present and enjoyed themselves immensely. The table was prettily decorated in green and white, the class colors, and pretty hand-painted place cards were laid. This was not the first delightful class affair at Miss Smith's home, and the class hopes that it will not be the last. The exhibit of the manual training and domestic science departments was a decided success. Otto Lensing was down from Los Angeles Monday evening to take in the senior reception. SEWAGE PROBLEM SOLVED Gen. Royer Will Take Flow for Five Years While the town of Stanton was organized for the express purpose of denying this city right to use the Gilbert ranch for purposes of a sewer farm, and while matters are shaping themselves for a lawsuit between the two municipalities, Gen. Royer this week announced that the city could run water from its sewage tanks upon lands owned by him at West Anaheim for a period of five years. Gen. Royer owns several hundred acres at the West End, much of it so highly improved that his holding has become one of the show places of Orange county. More than a quarter of a million of dollars have been expended by Gen. Royer upon improving and beautifying his extensive property. Gen. Royer is a practical agriculturist as well as a millionaire mine owner, and knows the value of fertilization as well as any farmer in the State. He has personal knowledge of the manner of disposing of sewage in European countries, where all is utilized and none permitted to go to waste. When he heard that the city would be tied up in a lawsuit for a number of years, and that construction of a sewer system would in- purchase of the new dynamo which had been recommended by Engineer Lewis at the previous meeting of the board. Mr. Lewis' endorsement was ratified, but the trustees objected to making a payment of $2525 on the machinery before its arrival consequently the contract was returned to the company with instructions to modify it. The new contract presented Tuesday night was satisfactory to the board, and on motion of Nebelung the chairman and clerk were instructed to sign it. The terms of W. O. F. Schwenckert and Miss E. Kate Rea as members of the board of directors of the library expiring on July 1st, a list of names from which to select their successors was submitted to the trustees. Miss Rea was reappointed and Miss Jean Adams was selected to fill the Schwenckert vacancy, making three men and two ladies on the board. The petition of a number of property owners near the corner of Lemon and Sycamore for a grade and an order compelling the water company to pipe its open ditch was granted. Building permits were granted as follows: To H. L. Backs, frame dwelling on Adele street; cost $1200. To W. W. Scott, contractor,frame residence on Alberta street; cost $1500. To Levi Mann, frame addition to building on Olive street; cost $1000. C. E. Holcomb, owner of the Zeyn tract, which he has recently subdivided and put on the market, petitioned for a water main along Zeyn avenue, a new street which has been cut through the property. The street is eight hundred feet long and Mr. Holcomb reported that five or six lots had already been sold on which residences would shortly be built. On motion of Stock the request was granted provided Mr. Holcomb or the property owners pay half the costs, which will be returned to them in water service. On motion of Stark the street commissioner, Kellenberger, was authorized to order road oil through the city clerk without further reference to the board, as long as the supply contracted for lasts, and to order in such quantities as he needs for present use.

Royer is a practical agriculturist as well as a millionaire mine owner, and knows the value of fertilization as well as any farmer in the State. He has personal knowledge of the manner of disposing of sewage in European countries, where all is utilized and none permitted to go to waste. When he heard that the city would be tied up in a lawsuit for a number of years, and that construction of a sewer system would inevitably be delayed thereby, he stepped to the front, saying, "Run your sewage on my farm." A contract will probably be signed up this week. Gen. Royer is interested in the erection of a large hotel here, and with him sewers are a paramount municipal issue. It is expected work upon the sewer system will begin in the near future. Meantime the city will proceed with the Gilbert ranch. On Monday the city secured $43,500 as first payment of the $90,000 bond issue. A tender of $21,500 will be made Gilbert this week.

WEDS SOCIETY BELLE Frank Tausch, one of the most popular young men of this city, was married in Los Angeles on Monday to Miss Mary Bour, a society belle of Long Beach. The wedding was a culmination of a romance which began at Bay City several years ago, when the Seventh regiment was encamped at that point. Miss Bour came over from Long Beach with a party of ladies and gentlemen. When she met the gallant young officer, it was a case of love at first sight. Frank's friends say he has never been himself since that time. The couple met at a society hop given by officers of the regiment,and it was noticed the young officer was particularly fond of the society of the beautiful girl. Mutual admiration ripened into love, and Madame Ru mor had much to say of a coming happy marriage. Trips to Long Beach became more and more frequent, until the first of the week Frank left for the beach town for his annual vacation. Monday evening he telephoned announcement of the happy event to friends here. He and his bride left for the north on their honeymoon trip. They will probably return in a fortnight. The groom is head salesman at Dickel's store and has hosts of friends who wish him and his fair young bride all sorts of bliss and prosperity in their married life.
