SIXTY AUTOMOBILES IN LINE FOR BUENA PARK WILL START FROM POSTOFFICE CORNER FRIDAY AT 1:30 P.M. Citizens of the Park Preparing Warm Welcome for Anaheim Visitors — Board of Trade Will Have Float in Carnival Procession — Anaheim Oranges Bring Top Price on New York Market—Ahlborn, Wants Electric Light and Telephone Wires Underground Sixty automobiles will assemble at the postoffice corner tomorrow at 1:30 o'clock and gather up their cargoes of enthusiastic Angelmers for a trip to Buena Park where a harvest festival is now in progress under the management of the enterprising citizens of that town. The transportation committee reported to the Board of Trade Monday evening that forty-eight machines had already been secured and twelve or fifteen others promised, consequently a train of sixty cars could probably be relied upon. Today (Thursday) had been previously fixed upon as the date for the trip, but J. W. Duckworth stated of a levee or embankment on the Santa Ana river, and the attorney had promised to investigate and prosecute guilty parties. The man charged with cutting the dyke has also promised to repair the damage, the judge said. Chairman Eygabroad, of the committee on police service, requested that all members of the committee be in readiness to accompany him to the city hall tonight to present the demand for better night service to the board of trustees. Messrs. Eygabroad, Howard, Cassou, Yungbluth and Ahlborn comprise the committee. The military committee reported that little or no progress had been made toward landing a company here since the last meeting. AGRICULTURAL EXHIBIT Elliott-Bushard Realty Company Show Products of Soil In the front window of the Elliott-Bushard Realty Company's offices on East Center street is a display of agricultural products which forcibly illustrate the fertility of soil hereabout. In the collection is a pumpkin from C. E. Lacey's farm south of town planted in July, and which has attained large and symmetrical proportions. From his farm there are also a watermelon, parsnips, corn and festival is now in progress under the management of the enterprising citizens of that town. The transportation committee reported to the Board of Trade Monday evening that forty-eight machines had already been secured and twelve or fifteen others promised, consequently a train of sixty cars could probably be relied upon. Today (Thursday) had been previously fixed upon as the date for the trip, but J. W. Duckworth stated that he had been in communication with members of the Buena Park entertainment committee who informed him that, while they were ready to welcome the Anaheim delegation with open arms at any time, the ladies having charge of the commissary department would be better prepared to entertain the visitors on Friday. A great many of the boosters on this trip will be ladies, as a number have signified their intention of going. The board of trade will have a float displaying the products of this region in the carnival parade. The matter was suggested in a letter from the managers of the carnival and the publicity committee was instructed to engage artisans to construct a suitable float and decorate with fruits and other products. N. P. Hansen said he had known parades in which the various business houses and lodges were individually represented with floats and he would like to see it done here. The suggestion may be acted upon by some of the orders. The motion of John Ziegler that the by-ways and alleys be purged of the tin cans and accumulated refuse of years before the arrival of the carnival visitors met with favor and was carried. Each property owner or tenant will be asked to clean up the alleys adjacent to his premises. The fact that Anaheim oranges have been bringing the highest price on the New York market the past week or two moved A. A. Mills to introduce the following congratulatory resolution, which was adopted: Whereas, the Mother Colony brand of Valencia oranges topped the market in the United States last week, selling in New York higher than any other brand on the market, Resolved, by the Anaheim Board of Trade, that congratulations be extended to the Anaheim Fruit Association and to Manager Sandilands. That the Board of Trade desires to call the attention of the growers to this achievement in only two years of the local association, and to strongly urge the growers hereafter to sell their Elliott-Bushard Realty Company Show Products of Soil In the front window of the Elliott-Bushard Realty Company's offices on East Center street is a display of agricultural products which forcibly illustrate the fertility of soil hereabout. In the collection is a pumpkin from C. E. Lacey's farm south of town planted in July, and which has attained large and symmetrical proportions. From his farm there are also a watermelon, parsnips, corn and other products. From the Wagner farm east of town are a collection of potatoes which are hard to beat, and from Horton's new ranch on the east side are sample onions which are among the best grown in Southern California. Visitors to the realty offices are loud in their praises of the excellence of the exhibit, which compares favorably with that made anywhere, and serves to back up statements by members of the company, that Anaheim lies in the center of the richest agricultural district on earth. FELL IN A FAINT Harold Moore Blows Into Town, Talks to Office Boy Politely knocking at the front door, hat in hand, Harold Moore blew in from Los Angeles and began talking railroad business. The mutt in chief was out, and Harold addressed himself to the office boy. Taking a chair in the sanctum sanitorium, he began his space filler forthwith. "Railroad business is better for this time of year than ever before; people are coming home from the east by car lots and they say everybody in the east is waiting for a chance to sell out and come to California. We look for the biggest winter's tourist travel this way in the history of the road. I have just been out to the sugar factory. Everything is running smoothly, and it is the finest sugar mill I was ever in. They are making sugar there, and everything is running as smoothly as a republican convention." "The Santa Fe slipped one over Mr. Kruttschnitt, didn't it, in locating the mill on the Santa Fe track?" ventured the office boy. "The mill is, as I say, the finest sugar factory I ever saw. Its machinery is running perfectly, and there is not a hitch anywhere. Consequently, being a first-class mill, it naturally desired to get alongside a first-class road, and this, I imagine, is why Thursday morning will agricultural and industry with prizes for best diarde will doubtless be Friday will be Orange ternal day, and county compete for prizes at a trade. In the evening, Qthe opera house. Saturday will be aviation Sunday will be Knightday. FULLERTON IN Outlying Sections Are Ouclipate in Great Sh Director General Ham of Valencia oranges topped the market in the United States last week, selling in New York higher than any other brand on the market. Resolved, by the Anaheim Board of Trade, that congratulations be extended to the Anaheim Fruit Association and to Manager Sandilands. That the Board of Trade desires to call the attention of the growers to this achievement in only two years of the local association, and to strongly urge the growers hereafter to sell their fruit to no person or combination unless the fruit be packed in Anaheim and sold under an Anaheim label. A communication from the highway commissioners relative to the proposed new road from Santa Barbara to San Diego was read. President Adams stated that this was a matter of importance to Anaheim, and every possible effort should be made to secure it for this part of the county. He appointed Mills, Howard and Eygabroad a committee to confer with the commissioners. Chairman Ahlborn of the ornamental light committee said he had nothing new to report except that it had been decided to place the lights one hundred feet apart instead of fifty feet as originally planned. He suggested that the electric light and telephone poles in the proposed district be removed and the wires placed underground. Trustee Stock stated that under their franchises the Edison and telephone companies' poles could not be removed without their consent. He thought the trustees would favor the plan and the corporations might agree. Judge Howard reported that he had conferred with the district attorney relative to the danger from inundation of a large tract of land because of the arbitrary and unlawful cutting and everything is running as smoothly as a republican convention." "The Santa Fe slipped one over Mr. Kruttschnitt, didn't it, in locating the mill on the Santa Fe track?" ventured the office boy. "The mill is, as I say, the finest sugar factory I ever saw. Its machinery is running perfectly, and there is not a hitch anywhere. Consequently, being a first-class mill, it naturally desired to get alongside a first-class road, and this, I imagine, is why the factory is located where it is." "The Santa Fe and Southern Pacific are first cousins anyway, aren't they?" the kid inquired. "The mill naturally desired to get the best shipping facilities, and this is what we are giving it. It's a great factory, and we're a great road." "But the Santa Fe and Southern Pacific are first cousins, anyway, aren't they?" the kid persisted. "All railroads should be brothers, if they live together in harmony as befits the people of this enlightened age," Harold proceeded, but he cut it short. The office boy fell in a faint. He has not since revived. CERTIFIED ARTICLES Certified articles of incorporation and consolidation have been filed in the county clerk's office by the Los Angeles interurban railway merger.

SAN JUAN VAQUEROS' IN HISTORIC FLOAT CAVALCADE OF HORSEMEN TO PARTICIPATE IN CARNIVAL Local Committee Visits Independent State and Royally Entertained by Alcalde Egan and Forster Boys — Promise to Bring Float and Cavalcade of Vaqueros to Participate in Fiesta—Fraternal Parade to Be one of Great Beauty—Carnival Notes Representing the Anaheim Carnival, a committee consisting of Gen. Royer, George W. Hamler and V. U. Simpson proceeded to the independent state of San Juan on Friday last for the purpose of enlisting active support on the part of the people of that historic section in the five days' fiesta to be given here Sept. 27-Oct. 1. They were met by Alcalde Dick Egan and John and Frank Forster, who extended the freedom of the city, and promised to prepare a historic float, representing the mission, with outriders and a cavalcade of vaqueros. This float will doubtless be one of the most interesting of the carnival. The local men were entertained in true San Juan hospitality and return in Southern California to participate, he said: "Special committees are working for the success of the big carnival at Anaheim, under the direction of the general chairman, Geo. W. Hamler, and are completing arrangements for the largest celebration Anaheim ever had. The carnival will open Wednesday, Sept. 27, and continue until Oct. 1.

SIR KNIGHTS ARE COMING Happy Responses Received to Local Company's Invitation From every uniform rank company in Southern California response has been received to the invitation issued by the local company to attend Knights of Pythias day Oct. 1, the closing day of Anaheim's big carnival. From indications now on hand, local Knights are warranted in making the statement that the largest number of Pythians ever gathered together in Southern California will be here on that day. A great Pythian parade will be the feature of the day, and that Knights will be royally entertained goes without saying. Following is the text of the invitation issued: An industrial carnival will be held at Anaheim for five days, beginning September 27th and ending October 1st. Each day will have its special features, but of particular interest to you is the Knights of Pythias day, Sunday, October 1st. On that day there will be a grand parade of the the purpose or enlisting active support on the part of the people of that historic section in the five days' fiesta to be given here Sept. 27-Oct. 1. They were met by Alcalde Dick Egan and John and Frank Forster, who extended the freedom of the city, and promised to prepare a historic float, representing the mission, with outriders and a cavalcade of vaqueros. This float will doubtless be one of the most interesting of the carnival. The local men were entertained in true San Juan hospitality, and return more than ever impressed with the fact that San Juan is the greatest place on earth, and the Alcalde and the Forster boys caballeros from away back... The Orange county fraternal parade promises to be one of great beauty, and the agricultural and industrial parades will be features of the show. The poultry exhibit will be one of the finest ever held in Southern California, and birds will compete from every section. James Fullerton of Orange, the foremost chicken fancier in the county, will act as judge, and valuable prizes will be awarded. J. W. Duckworth and V. U. Simpson interviewed the supervisors on Thursday and were promised an appropriation of $500 from the county advertising fund. Money on hand already totals several thousands dollars. The carnival begins on Wednesday, Sept. 27, with crowning of the queen, and presentation to her of the freedom of the city by Mayor Rust. This will be followed by a floral parade. Prizes will be awarded to the best lady and gentleman horseback rider, best decorated single and double carriage, and best decorated automobile. The afternoon will be given over to band contests and amusements of all kinds, and in the evening various forms of entertainment will be provided. Thursday morning will witness the agricultural and industrial parade, with prizes for best displays. The parade will doubtless be a feature.

FULLERTON IN LINE Outlying Sections Are Going to Participate in Great Shape Director General Hamler and Bert Simpson drove to Fullerton on Monday morning and were in consultation with members of the chamber of commerce relative to placing of floats from our neighboring town in the fraternal and industrial parade. Assurances were given that Fullerton would have at least five floats and probably ten of business firms of that thriving community. Anaheim will have to be up and doing to keep up with Fullerton and the surrounding country, from every point of which comes word that floats will be furnished. Los Alamitos will have a float, showing production of sugar, as well as the growing of sugar beets. Olive will have a flour-mill exhibit, and from the oil wells comes word that the oil industry will be well represented. MANAGER HAMLER INVITES ALL Przes from $2 to $100, and Silver Cups from $15 to $75 Manager Hamler is the busiest man in Orange county. He is in personal charge of the carnival, and has secured promises from all business houses in town to enter floats in the caribus parades. In a statement issued yesterday inviting all the people in Orange county and elsewhere Gates M. Fowler of Los Angeles, representing the Eaton Bros. Aeroplane Company, was in the city this week making arrangements for the aviation meet to be held here during Carnival week, the afternoon of Saturday, Sept. 30. Two bird men will participate in a race 1000 feet above the city for a cash prize. They are Warren S. Eaton and C. E. De Hort. "We are going to give you an exhibition such as has never been witnessed in Orange county. We are going to carry passengers, and will give all comers a whirl in the clouds. We shall be here a day or two before the meet, and shall have two new Farman biplanes. We shall endeavor to make our bird men the great feature of the carnival." Speaking of De Hart's performances in Los Angeles some days ago, a paper of that city prints the following: "For more than an hour yesterday morning, traveling at between forty and forty-five miles an hour, De Hart, a young Los Angeles aviator of only three weeks' experience, shot through the air at a height of about 500 feet over a great deal of country surrounding Hyde Park, where the Eaton brothers have their school of aviation. "De Hart learned the rudiments of the art of birdman in the Eaton brothers' racer. Yesterday he soared in a standard biplane of the Farman type, flitted with a 60-horse power Hall-Scott engine. It was a practically new machine and never had been used by De Hart before. He remained in the air from 8 o'clock until after 9., traveling at more than express train speed, and on his return landed gracefully within the inclosure. "Yesterday afternoon the machine was taken apart, packed and shipped to Newman, Cal., where De Hart will make exhibition flights tomorrow and Saturday." VOTING FOR QUEEN Miss Blanche Mickel Enters Race, Which Is Getting Lively The entrance of Miss Blanche Mickel into the race for Queen of the Carnival this week added interest to a contest which has not been without its exciting features from the start. Miss Susan L. Beebe, the first lady in the race, maintains a good lead, but Miss Mickel's friends declare they will land their favorite a winner. Miss Esmay of Fullerton is also in the race, and will make it interesting for all competitors. Miss Magee is the oil well candidate, and it is said will have a surprise in store for all. Up to last evening 7000 votes had been polled. Miss Beebe is in the lead, and the other ladies coming up in spirited fashion.

Krause, formerly of Iowa, more recently from Spokane, where he was engaged in the banking business, on Saturday purchased the Jeter 12-acre place on South Walnut street, and this week moved here with his wife and family to reside. Mr. Krause came here last Thursday to visit his friend, Charles Eygabroad, whom he had not seen in 25 years. They were schoolboys together back in Iowa. So well was he pleased with Anaheim, and so persistent was Mr. Eygabroad in painting the many advantages of this section, that he returned on Saturday, purchased the Jeter place and decided to locate here permanently. Mr. Krause owned a number of banks in the northwest, but was compelled to leave Spokane because of his wife's ill health. She experienced such benefit during her first visit on Thursday that Mr. Eygabroad had little difficulty in locating his old-time friend under the orange and walnut trees of his new home. Mr. Krause some time ago made an auto trip from Los Angeles to Michigan, returning to the coast by rail. OFF FOR FATHERLAND Veteran of Franco-Prussian War Returns Home William Hanke leaves this week for Germany after an absence of 36 years. He has sold his ten-acre farm on the Eastside for $10,500, and from his orange crop netted this season more than $1000. Two years ago he purchased the place for $7500. Mr. Hanke was a member of the engineer corps of the Prussian army which was over the Rhine at the call to arms in the war against France in 1870. He participated in the battles of Gravelotte and Metz and was present at the siege of Paris. In one of the pitched battles before the French capital, his company went into the fight with 223 men and emerged with only 80 who answered "Here." The Prussians had taken the breastworks, but fell back before the fierce onslaughts of the French. Subsequently the Prussians retook their lost ground, but at great sacrifice. Mr. Hanke was in this last charge, and later entered Paris with the all-conquering Prussian army. He subsequently went with an invading force into Switzerland in quest of a division of 80,000 French who refused to surrender, but laid down their arms. Anaheim Fruit Association, that oranges shipped from the association's packing house in this city had the previous day sold in the New York auction market at $5.95 per box. This is the highest price ever received for Anaheim oranges, and marks the beginning of a new era in the expansion of this industry. Growers realize that in no other field of activity are returns so certain and so generous as in Valencia Late orange culture. A large new area of these trees are coming into bearing, and new tracts will be set to orchard. Eastern market conditions are particularly favorable to the Late Valencia oranges. With the fruit thoroughly ripened, and all other citrus fruits out of market, Valencias have for years past brought the highest price paid for oranges throughout the east. The price brought for Anaheim oranges was not only the highest realized in the New York market, but it exceeded that paid for California oranges in any of the eastern auction centers. Sales were made in Boston, Baltimore, Pittsburg, Cleveland, St. Louis and other points, but no price touched the Anaheim figure for the day. These oranges brought more than Mr. Chapman's Old Mission brand, which sold on Friday at $5.25 per box. When Mr. Chapman heard that better prices had been realized for Anaheim oranges than for his famous brand, he smiled good naturally and said he was glad Anaheim oranges were coming so rapidly to the front. Local growers declare that now that they have struck their gait, they are going to show Mr. Chapman what really high-priced oranges look like. A notable fact regarding the work of the local association is that of all its eastern customers this season not one has found fault with the fruit, and many of them have wired orders for more. This is because the association makes a practice of shipping none but thoroughly ripened fruit at the beginning of the season. Frost, of course, is unknown here, a local grower said recently that in 25 years of orange culture he had not lost ten cents by frost. In the upper valleys this is different. Nearer the snow line of the Sierra Madres, removed from the fog belt and the tempering climatic influence of the ocean, oranges are nipped in winter in the uplands, while here orchards remain in undisturbed security from attacks of this character. Moreover, once a freeze touches fruit in the highlands, a hot-haste-shipping campaign begins to get this fruit to on the respeccular train. of the celebsitors will be well probably be dominent Sir the case has and the genwilling.

Subsequently the Prussians retook their lost ground, but at great sacrifice. Mr. Hanke was in this last charge, and later entered Paris with the all-conquering Prussian army. He subsequently went with an invading force into Switzerland in quest of a division of 80,000 French who refused to surrender, but laid down their arms beyond the Swiss border. Asked whether he should return to California, he said it all depended upon how he found things in the Fatherland. "If things do not look good to me in Germany, I shall come back to Anaheim," he said. Before his departure he called upon Joseph Dubbel, who is also a veteran of the Franco-Prussian war, and a happy hour was spent in recounting experiences of the battlefield. The two had not hitherto met, and as a result of the interview the two became warm friends. BEET GROWERS MEET A well attended meeting of the Southern California beet growers association was held at Talbert on Tuesday night. The object of the meeting was to hear a report of the committees appointed at the Artesia meeting two weeks ago. The old committees were reappointed to continue with the organization of the association. The members who have signed their acreage were assessed one dollar each to create a fund for organization purposes. The following committee was appointed: J. M. Von Schriltz and F. E. Farnsworth for Old Newport; P. E. Isenor and Chas. Ward for Talbert; Henry Meyers and W. T. Newland for Huntington Beach. The orange shipping season is rapidly drawing to a close. The local association will probably close its season by the end of the month. Manager Sandilands will try to top Friday's figures in the last carloads to be forwarded east this week and next. Fruit is in superb condition, and record prices are looked for. To date this season more than 46,000 cars of oranges have been shipped from Southern California to market this year. There remain probably 1500 carloads to wind up the year. This is the largest crop ever raised in the state. The largest ever raised before was year before last when 35,000 cars were marketed.
