SILVER LOVING CUP TO MANAGER HADSELL SUGAR MILL MAGNATES BANQUETED BY BOARD OF TRADE President Peck and Directors Warner and Stimpson Present — Society Turns Out to Do Honor to Distinguished Guests — Presentation Speech by Attorney Ames—Happy Response by Mr. Hadsell—How the Sugar Factory Was Born—Toastmaster Melrose in Fine Form Largely attended and most enjoyable was the banquet tendered by the board of trade to sugar factory officials at Odd Fellows' hall Thursday evening. Covers were laid for 115 plates, and in addition to the local managers A. R. Peck, president of the company, and Messrs. C. W. Warner and E. T. Stimson, were present. The committee on entertainment, consisting of C. Z. Vander Horck, F. A. Yungbluth and Earl Abbey, had brought into play all the grey matter at its command in an endeavor his life had been cemented in Anaheim, continued: "The initial idea of a sugar factory in Anaheim," he said, came from Prof. Tople. He was then principal of the grammar school here, so in response to his suggestion I came over with the ostensible purpose of building an electric railroad. A meeting was held in Judge Howard's office at which were present Messrs. Howard, Adams, Eygabroad, McLauchlin, Quarton and Krick. At that meeting all the preliminary work was done, the foundation of the factory was laid while electric railroad talk was floating on the surface. Then began the uphill work of selling stock and fighting against the knockers. I was told that every man associated with me was a scoundrel, that no man had a dollar to invest, that the machinery was old junk and the factory never would run anyway. "The company was organized in 1910 and we began looking for a location for the plant. When the present site was selected we were assailed with objections and doubts. It was the home of the wart toad and jack rabbit, the sage brush and cactus, we were told. 'What are you going to do with your waste water?' I was asked. 'We are going to bot- able was the banquet tendered by the board of trade to sugar factory officials at Odd Fellows' hall Thursday evening. Covers were laid for 115 plates, and in addition to the local managers A. R. Peck, president of the company, and Messrs. C. W. Warner and E. T. Stimson, were present. The committee on entertainment, consisting of C. Z. Vander Horck, F. A. Yungbluth and Earl Abbey, had brought into play all the grey matter at its command in an endeavor to invent and construct suitable dishes for the entertainment of the guests and the result was entirely satisfactory. Following is the menu: Soup Chicken, a la Egge Combination Salad. Sliced Tomatoes Green Chili Sliced Cucumbers Olives Pickles Hadsell Special Chicken in Dutch Pots, with Dumplings and Potatoes Jardiniere Corn on Cob, a la Yungbluth String Beans, a la Abbey Punch, a la Ahlborn Cheese Water Cress Peaches Grapes Strawberry and Vanilla Ice Cream Cake Coffee Sweet strains of music furnished by the Anaheim Orchestra floated down from the gallery of the reception room and during the banquet, and gave zest to the food and an edge to the appetites of the banqueters. As toastmaster Hon. Richard Melrose surpassed himself on this occasion, enlivening the entire speech-making epoch with flashes of wit and humor, notwithstanding his statement on calling the guests to order that he feared he would not be able to preside with his usual aplomb owing to the number of pretty waitresses who were flitting about the room and distracting his attention from the serious business of the evening. Henry M. Adams, president of the board of trade, was introduced as the first speaker, but declined to attempt a speech because, he said, public speaking was not one of his accomplishments. However, on behalf of the board of trade, he extended a welcoming hand to the visitors. "About two years ago," said Toastmaster Melrose, "a retired individual dropped into my office and began making enquiries and hinting about the establishment of a sugar factory. I knew something of the difficulties ahead and referred him to the chamber of commerce. Since then I have associated with me was a scoundrel, that no man had a dollar to invest, that the machinery was old junk and the factory never would run anyway. "The company was organized in 1910 and we began looking for a location for the plant. When the present site was selected we were assailed with objections and doubts. It was the home of the wart toad and jack rabbit, the sage brush and cactus, we were told. 'What are you going to do with your waste water?' I was asked. 'We are going to bottle it in daytime and drink it at night,' was the reply. 'Where will you raise your beets?' 'If the soil gives out we will grow them on orange trees.' Notwithstanding the opposition of pessimists a company was formed with Messrs. Warner, Peck, Perkins, Stimpson, Rust, Melrose and McLauchlin as directors, and some good angel hovered over us in our work until the stock was finally subscribed and the contract let for the construction work. But if any man in Anaheim opposed its construction he is now forgiven. The plant is built, is running, and is a credit to this industrious little city. "The factory represents a capitalization of nearly $900,000. It paid in wages during its construction more than all the balance of Anaheim,and will pay in salaries during the season about $90,000. It will also pay growers $300,000 a year for beets." Mr. Hadsell paid a glowing tribute to Otto Egge, chief of the construction company, and also said he wanted to publicly thank the newspapers of Anaheim for the effective assistance rendered. Chairman Melrose then introduced Charles Eygabroad, who was listed to speak on the subject of "Anaheim." Mr. Eygabroad regretted that he was not an orator like his friend Ames who could captivate his audience with his smile and charm all within hearing by his oratory. Three important things, he said, were essential to the development of a town—its location, its surroundings and the character of its citizens. Anaheim was distant enough from Los Angeles to be safe from its influences, it possessed the most magnificent climate and was rounded by the most fertile soil in the world, and was populated by law-abiding, energetic and ambitious people. When he came to Anaheim two and a half years ago there were no paved streets and few sidewalks. Today they stretch in all directions. During 1909, he said, 61 building permits were issued by the city clerk, the cost of which was $127,356. In 1910 ago signed agreement their holdings to the land Town Builders owe on Monday surrendered stock to the latter company exchange first mortgage corporation, bearing 7 percent, and agreeing to a rangement whereby they to be deposited in bank of eighteen months.

However, on behalf of the board of trade, he extended a welcoming hand to the visitors. "About two years ago," said Toastmaster Melrose, "a retired individual dropped into my office and began making enquiries and hinting about the establishment of a sugar factory. I knew something of the difficulties ahead and referred him to the chamber of commerce. Since then I have been associated with him to a considerable extent, and I believe that in him we have the right man in the right place. Every move he has undertaken has been carried to a successful issue, every promise he has made to the people of Anaheim has been fulfilled. But I think the fates have ordained that he will be taken away from us in a short time and moved to some other sphere of action, therefore it is fitting that a slight token of our esteem should be presented to him. On this subject Mr. Ames has something to say: "I am not on the program for an address," said Mr. Ames, "but a speech is hardly necessary, as this loving cup which I am delegated to present to Mr. Hadsell, expresses our sentiments much more eloquently than words can convey. Having learned of his purpose to take up his residence elsewhere on behalf of the board of trade I herewith present him with this cup. Mr. Hadsell, wherever your footsteps may guide you in the future, whatever new ties of friendship you may form, may this token serve to remind you that your memory is still cherished by the people of Anaheim." Mr. Hadsell was on the program for an address on the inception and construction of the sugar factory and after thankking the board of trade for the remembrance and stating that some of the warmest friendships of Continued on Page Two HEIM GAZE ANAHEIM, CALIFORNIA, THURSDAY, AUGUST 24, 1911 PUMPING LIFE ELIXIR INTO DEAD CORPORATION INVESTMENT COMPANY SHARE-HOLDERS SURRENDER CERTIFICATES OF STOCK Bonds of National Home and Town Builders Accepted in Lieu Thereof, and Pool Signed Tieing Up Sale of Securities for Eighteen Months — Deal Involves Transfer of $54,000—All Property and Assets Made Over to New Holding Company Stockholders of the Orange county investment company, who two weeks ago signed agreements assigning all their holdings to the National Home and Town Builders of Los Angeles, on Monday surrendered certificates of stock to the latter company, taking in exchange first mortgage bonds of that corporation, bearing 7 per cent interest, and agreeing to a pooling arrangement whereby the securities are to be deposited in bank for a period of eighteen months. This latter course was agreed to for protection of the new company, at its suggestion, AMALGAMATED REPORTS Water Board Receives Statement from Oil Company Anaheim, Aug. 19, 1911. The board of directors of the A.U. W.Co. met in regular session on the above date. Members present, Bradford, Drake, Dwyer and Sherwood.Absent, Crowther, Hale, Porter. The minutes of the preceding regular meeting were read and approved. J. N. Nenno appeared before the board and requested that the old cement ditch at his property be replaced by a pipe line. Nenno offered to do all the hauling required, to fill in the trench after laying of the pipe, and to pay the proportion of the cost of the pipe line equal to the cost of a 10 in. pipe, on condition of the company digging out the old cement ditch and making the trench, and paying the proportion of the cost in excess of the cost of a 10 in. pipe line. Nenno also agree to pay for standpipes and a measuring gate at the lower end of the pipe. On motion of Drake the matter was referred to the ditch committee. A communication was received from the Amalgamated Oil Co., reporting that the amount of oil on hand on July 31st was 16,136.09 barrels, and RAPID WORK ON HIGHSCHOOL BUILDINGS ALL DEPARTMENTS OF CONSTRUCTION UP TO DATE Plasterers Began Tuesday on Commercial Building Following Plumbers and Electricians Who Completed their Labor Monday—Brick Veneering Work Began Yesterday on Commercial and Language Buildings—A Few More Carpenters Are Needed for Couple of Weeks Construction work on the several buildings of the Anaheim Union High School has progressed in such a satisfactory manner that the builders are able to promise that nothing but some unforeseen calamity can prevent their completion on schedule time. In the absence of Messrs. Upton & French, the contractors, the work is in charge of A. A. Fletcher of Alhambra, foreman of the carpentering gang. "You can say," he said, "that the work is up to date in all departments and nothing but an earthquake or some other unlooked for disaster can prevent the completion of the ago signed agreements assigning all their holdings to the National Home and Town Builders of Los Angeles, on Monday surrendered certificates of stock to the latter company, taking in exchange first mortgage bonds of that corporation, bearing 7 per cent interest, and agreeing to a pooling arrangement whereby the securities are to be deposited in bank for a period of eighteen months. This latter course was agreed to for protection of the new company, at its suggestion, and prohibits stockholders from stamping the market with their holdings in order to dispose of it at cut rates. Transfer of stock involves something over $54,000. While a number of stockholders were somewhat warm under the collar at the trend the investment company had taken, some of them wanted to be shown, in the end they yielded to the persuasive eloquence of Secretary Smith, who wiped the perspiration from his brow as he earned his salary, and signed over their certificates, taking bonds in lieu thereof, and go into the pool. Mr. Smith was accompanied by J. J. Slavin of Los Angeles, sales agent of the company, who will spend some time in this vicinity in the interest of his company. Concensus of opinion is that the National Home and Town Builders mean business, and a concerted effort will be made to give the company cordial support on the part of deluded investment company shareholders. "We intend to make Orange county the scene of our principal endeavors", said Mr. Smith, "and we have already plans under way for erection of two cottages in Placentia. These will be followed by a number of residences in Anaheim and Fullerton. Our company is desirous of purchasing land in Orange county, and except for an occasional snap in outside reality, will not invest its money elsewhere. For instance, we have just purchased a new tract on Central avenue in Los Angeles for $13,000, which our bank informs us is worth $22,000. These mortgage bonds which we are issuing today are a lien on this property as well as upon our holdings in Orange county. We have 11 lots in Placentia, 13 in Anaheim, 21 in Orange and 2 in Santa Ana. This is all gilt-edged property, and houses will be erected thereupon as soon as calls for the same are had. Our experience is that the successful building company is the one which does not build until a purchaser is in sight for the building. A communication was received from the Amalgamated Oil Co., reporting that the amount of oil on hand on July 31st was 16,126.09 barrels, and that during the month of July 1146:85 barrels of oil had been shipped. Report was ordered filed. A complaint from J. F. Hahn regarding damage to his property by seepage from the open ditch on the Garden Grove road was on motion referred to the ditch committee. A communication was received from R. M. Close of Los Angeles, requesting that he be advised as to the price of the 90 h.p. engine offered for sale by this company. On motion the matter of the disposal of the engine was referred to Sherwood with authority to advertise the same. Applications on file for the transfer of stock were on motion granted. Drake reported that the gates at the properties of George Key and J. N. Nenno were in need of repairs, as the cement underneath the gates is being washed out. The superintendent was requested to make the necessary repairs. Application from Mrs. Pittman for a gate from which to irrigate three acres adjoining the reservoir, was referred to the ditch committee. Report was received from Zanjero Parrett that considerable trouble had been caused by boys stopping up the water in the south branch ditch near the sugar factory for bathing. The superintendent was instructed to put an end to the nuisance, and to place signs to warn the offenders at this place. On motion the meeting adjourned. H. S. Armstrong, Sec.

We have 11 lots in Placentia, 13 in Anaheim, 21 in Orange and 2 in Santa Ana. This is all gilt-edged property, and houses will be erected thereupon as soon as calls for the same are had. Our experience is that the successful building company is the one which does not build until a purchaser is in sight for the building. "We intend to begin immediately the work of developing the company's resources. I have no doubt that the old investment company could have erected not less than twenty residences in this county the past year, at a profit of $400 each. This would in all probability have been done had it not been for the unfortunate turn of affairs in the management of the investment company. We shall take up this work where it was left off, and shall prosecute work of development vigorously. We want the confidence and support of our stockholders, and promise with their hearty cooperation we shall place this company in the near future upon a money-making basis." Mr. Slavin said that local lumber companies will be given preference in purchasing lumber of residences. All the company will ask is that prices are right. Mr. Slavin said that work upon a number of new houses in this city would probably soon be under way. Messrs. Smith and Slavin were at Fullerton on Tuesday continuing their work. Mr. Smith said yesterday the work had been practically cleaned up, and that his company was now ready for business. E. C. Dutton was in town Thursday from his ranch west of town. He reports crops looking well out his way. Anaheim Transfer Company's Driver Run Over by Dray Clyde Dunn, driver for the Anaheim transfer company, narrowly escaped death or serious injury in a runaway accident Friday afternoon. He was hauling freight from the Santa Fe track, and his team, which was hitched to a heavy truck, became frightened at a switch engine and bolted, dragging the dray over a pile of gas pipe, and tearing down Chartres St. Running into a ditch near the cannery Dunn was thrown from his seat and both wheels of the heavy dray ran over him from hip to shoulder, barely missing his head. The horses ran about fifty yards when one of them fell and blocked the wheels. Dunn was taken to his room where Dr. Johnston treated him. He was badly bruised and shocked but the Doctor found no broken bones. He was sent to his home at Santa Ana on Saturday. NEW FISH MARKET Town and Surroundings to Be Supplied With Finny Delicacies Edward Schleuter and C. A. Thompson have purchased the fish business formerly conducted by John Bush, and are now supplying residents of this city and surrounding country with fresh fish caught at San Diego. The new firm will have two delivery wagons in the field constantly, and will deal in the best finny delicacies the ocean affords. Fresh fish will be delivered daily, and we bespeak for the new firm a liberal share of the public patronage. Misses Alice and Amy Wheeler, who have been spending the past three weeks at Laguna Beach, returned home Sunday after spending a week enjoying the ocean breezes at Bay City. Misses Hanna and Anna Stoffel returned home Sunday after spending a week enjoying the ocean breezes at Bay City. This, however, is by no means a money-making scheme, and a reasonable charge of 25c. a plate will be made for either supper or dinner. To those who might desire to bring their lunches, a lunch room will be provided and hot tea and coffee will be served on the grounds. The bazaar, which will also be held in the building, will be an artistic display of fancy work of all kinds. Exquisite bits of needle-work and all manner of dainty aprons and caps will be for sale at popular prices. Ice cream, candies and light refreshments will be served from booths placed in the yard. One of the most attractive features of the festival will be the ranch produce exhibit. Everyone is kindly requested to bring samples of choice canned fruits, jellies and fresh fruits, honey and all farm produce typical of Southern California. There will also be a class for bread, pastry and butter. Ribbon prizes will be awarded on the last day by competent judges to the ones bringing the finest exhibit in each class. No admission will be charged to enter the grounds or the building and a cordial welcome and good time is assured everyone. UNCLAIMED LETTERS Mrs. Chas. Koider, H. H.

ZETTE 1911 NUMBER 45 ON BUILDINGS TTS OF CON-UP TO DATE Wednesday on Comfollowing Plumbs Who Completenday—Brick Vecan Yesterday on Language BuildCarpenters Are of Weeks HIKING UP THE COAST Novel Trip of Young Couple Between Two Fair Cities Frank W. McIntosh and Miss Frances Robinson hiked through town on Thursday at 11 o'clock on their way from San Diego to San Francisco. They bear a message from the director-general of the San Diego fair to a similar potentate in the bay city. They travel El Camino Real, and will visit all the missions in Southern Caliifornia and along the coast route. They left San Diego two weeks ago today, having consumed a week in the hike hither. They expect to reach the northern fair city in time for ground-breaking ceremonies in October. Both are newspaper workers, Miss Robinson having been associated with Los Angeles newspapers for a number of years past. They were driven from their course while hiking through the Santa Marguereta ranch by a band of cattle, which chased them for a considerable distance until they found safety in a ranch house. "We aim to make a town every night," said Miss Robinson, "but if we fail we have no difficulty in find- SEWER BIDS TONIGHT ATTRACT CONTRACTORS FIFTEEN MILES OF VITRIFIED-PIPE TO BE LAID Work to Cost in Neighborhood of $50,000 and to Be Completed in Eight Months—Six to Twelve Inch Mainns to Be Used, Laid in Trenches Five to Twelve Feet Deep—Septic tanks to Come Next The City Council will at its meeting this evening open bids for constructing 15 miles of sewers in this city. City Engineer Steward looks for ten or a dozen bids, and thinks the work should cost not to exceed $50,000. Work will begin immediately after contract has been let, and eight months will be consumed in completing the undertaking. Vitrifi-ed pipe will be used, ranging from 6 to 12 inches in diameter, and the depth to which they will be laid varies from 5 to 12 feet. The deeper level will be used in the business district, to permit cellar connection. Each bidder is required to give a certified check in the sum of $500. Both are newspaper workers, Miss Robinson having been associated with Los Angeles newspapers for a number of years past. They were driven from their course while hiking through the Santa Marguereta ranch by a band of cattle, which chased them for a considerable distance until they found safety in a ranch house. "We aim to make a town every night," said Miss Robinson, "but if we fail we have no difficulty in finding lodgings at a farm house. We stopped at San Juan Capistrano night before last, and have been two days on the way hither. We rest during the noon hour, make coffee and enjoy our midday meal. We go from here to San Gabriel, where we shall visit the mission. The first Camino Real bell we saw since leaving San Diego was at Tustin, and the next one was in this city. I understand we shall see them more frequently farther north on our hike. We shall pass through Los Angeles, and go thence up the coast road through Ventura, Santa Barbara and north to San Francisco. "We are following in the footsteps of the Franciscan fathers as nearly as possible, and have found the hike interesting and enjoyable." Mr. McIntosh's pedometer showed 113 miles had been traveled since leaving San Diego. READY FOR LODGERS SOON Heitshusen's Rooming House on Hermine Street Will Be Finished This Week The new rooming house which J. D. Heitshusen has had in course of construction the past three months is nearing completion and will have the finishing touches added this week. It will probably be opened for lodgers the first of September if a suitable manager can be found to take charge of the building. Mr. Heitshusen has decided to lease the house unfurnished and is now looking for an experienced and responsible party. This building is a model lodginghouse in every respect. Everything is modern and up-to-date, from the finishing to the plumbing, and conveniently arranged rooms. It is finished in yellow pine, hard oiled. It contains thirty rooms, all of which are commodious and well lighted and ventilated, and each room has a private closet or clothes room attached. FULLERTON VOTES BONDS for ten or a dozen bids, and thinks the work should cost not to exceed $50,000. Work will begin immediately after contract has been let, and eight months will be consumed in completing the undertaking. Vitrified pipe will be used, ranging from 6 to 12 inches in diameter, and the depth to which they will be laid varies from 5 to 12 feet. The deeper level will be used in the business district, to permit cellar connection. Each bidder is required to give a certified check in the sum of $500. About 50 men will be put to work upon the trenches, and a gang of pipe-layers will follow up closely with their work. Location of the septic tanks has not yet been determined upon, further than the fact that the Gilbert ranch will not be occupied until impending litigation between this city and Stanton shall be cleared away. Mr. Steward said yesterday that probably no septic tank would be constructed on the Royer ranch, and that the trustees are looking for another site. During the week an ocean outfall has been discussed, to be operated jointly with the sugar factory, but Mr. Steward says this is out of the question because of its heavy cost. One hundred thousand dollars would be needed for an ocean outfall, and even were the money handy, which it is not, the task of securing a site on the ocean front is too great an undertaking at this time. That a site for septic tanks will shortly be selected is believed by those keeping informed upon the situation. DROWNED AT NEWPORT John Gordon Bartlett, aged 17, son of W. S. Bartlett of Los Angeles, formerly of Tustin, was drowned in the channel at Newport Landing Monday evening about 6:30 o'clock. Bartlett was in a sailboat with a companion, when the boat tipped over and the boys were thrown into the water. Although Bartlett's companion, Gartrell M. Harberson, struggled to save him Bartlett in his frenzy broke from his would-be rescuer, and drowned. Both lads had been staying at the Bartlett cottage at East Newport, with Miss Matilde Bartlett. Mr. and Mrs. Bartlett were at their residence in Los Angeles, when news came of the drowning of their son. The boys went out in a sailboat, an unsteady craft at best. They were in the channel between Newport Landing and Balboa Island when the boat went over. BY NO MEANS A HOME, AND A REASONABLE PLATE WILL BE OVER OR DINNER.

FULLERTON VOTES BONDS Large Sums for New High Schools, Roads and Bridges Fullerton on Friday and Saturday demonstrated that it is in the front rank of progressive Southern California cities by voting $276,000 for a new high school and for roads and bridges. On Friday by a vote of 458 to 126 the Fullerton union highschool district voted $130,000 for erection of a new highschool building. The vote by precincts on school bonds was as follows: Yes. No. Olinda ...93 2 La Habra ...3 12 Brea ...26 2 Placentia ...78 7 Orangethorpe ...14 43 Fullerton ...244 60 Total ...458 126 As if this were not enough to prove to the world that our sprightly neighbor is in the forefront of live ones, it turned around and on Saturday voted $146,000 for roads and bridges in Fullerton. The vote stood: For bridges—Yes, 294, No, 81. Roads—Yes 255, No. 107. More opposition developed to the latter issue than to that for the high school, and G. Washington Sherwood came out of obscurity to take a whack at them. A telephone message from Fullerton said Sherwood went early to bed that night. Bartlett in his frenzy broke from his would-be rescuer, and drowned. Both lads had been staying at the Bartlett cottage at East Newport, with Miss Matilde Bartlett. Mr. and Mrs. Bartlett were at their residence in Los Angeles, when news came of the drowning of their son. The boys went out in a sailboat, an unsteady craft at best. They were in the channel between Newport Landing and Balboa Island when the boat went over. Harberson tells of his futile effort to save Bartlett. He says that Bartlett seemed crazed, and thought Harberson was trying to drown him. Bartlett beat Harberson off, and struggled for a few seconds and sank. Harberson swam ashore, and took the sad news to Balboa. TWO MEN DROWNED AT BALBOA Adam Reuter and N. B. Norfolk, both of Los Angeles, were drowned at Balboa at 6:30 o'clock Sunday evening as a result of the overturning of their launch. Samuel Norfolk, the 12-year-old son of N. B. Norfolk, and O. W. Jackson, who were the other occupants of the launch, were saved by Orval Oliver and H. O. Tucker, two young men of Los Angeles, who were on the shore at the time the launch overturned. The party had started from San Pedro for a sail to Balboa. As the launch was off the point it was struck by an unusually big wave, that upset it. Norfolk was a solicitor, living at 1214 1-2 East 22d street, Los Angeles, and Reuter is said to have been a tailor. Miss Lena L. Ingraham writes from New Haven, Conn., where she and her mother have been spending the summer with relatives, that they left on Monday via the St. Lawrence river and Chicago and will arrive at their home in Fullerton in a few days.
