SUCH A TALE OF WOE COMES FROM RIVERSIDE COULD NOT GET A LINE ON HIGH-WAY COMMISSION Were Ready to Press Their Claims for Foothill Boulevard, From Los Angeles to That Town, Construction of Which Would Have Put Orange County in Bad—Orange County Is Getting Rights of Way for Trunk Line A despairing wall of lamentation issued from Riverside last week on departure of the highway commission from that city, because local road enthusiasts who sought interviews with its members relative to the "foothill boulevard" proposed between Los Angeles and that town were unable to get a line on their movements. Interest attaches to this circumstance in Orange county, for the reason that, if the foothill route be made a trunk line, Orange county will probably not have the state highway constructed through this county. In an interview in Los Angeles last week, Engineer Fletcher was quoted by a newspaper as saying that if the foothill boulevard were built, Orange county would be expected to build its own lateral road connecting with the Los Angeles high-river side on Thursday, or some later day this week. They are not headed by any brass band, nor do they wish to be accompanied by any considerable number of individuals in any of the localities visited, hence the fancy of the reporter must be called into vivid play, if he gets much copy out of them." Perhaps it is late in the day to urge that Orange-county communities get together on the state highway, and perhaps the natural advantages of Orange county are such that no matter how much hair pulling we engage in for the delectation of the multitude, yet certain it is that while we have been splitting hairs residents along the "foothill boulevard," proposed from Los Angeles to Riverside, have been a unit in attempting to draw the main trunk line of the state highway that way. In the unprobable event of their success, this would mean that Orange county would "get shut" of the highway hitherward. Our distinguished friend, the Riverside Booster, and his name is legion, has been working overtime to have the road skirt the hill graced by the Rubidoux Cross, ignoring the mission which Serra built at San Juan. The first is Frank Miller's fake, the second is one of the historical landmarks of the state. The Booster desires that the main trunk line be built along the foothills from Los Angeles easterly to his town, and thence southerly through Temecula canyon to San Diego. This board of trade gives Trade at the Germain day night, with the guests, had not been rised, but fifty enboosters gathered after the adjournment and partook of the goods for them. After doing so satisfying the Adams called for order that Charles Eygabal the assembly, his Board of Trade. Mr. Eygabal said to say that so far attended the City Trade of Trade always with Many committees visited the Trustee our recommendationably been courteous. Interest attaches to this circumstance in Orange county, for the reason that, if the foothill route be made a trunk line, Orange county will probably not have the state highway constructed through this county. In an interview in Los Angeles last week, Engineer Fletcher was quoted by a newspaper as saying that if the foothill boulevard were built, Orange county would be expected to build its own lateral road connecting with the Los Angeles highway system. Riverside has been exerting all of its influence to secure the trunk line to that city, but there is little probability that Orange county will be given the overlook by the state highway commission. In fact on the visit of the commission here last week, the Orange county board of supervisors were instructed to procure rights of way for the highway through the Irvine ranch. This is being done. In conversation with members of the supervisors, the state highway commissioners stated Orange county would be given a square deal, also that the trunk line would be constructed along the route of El Camino Real. This is taken to indicate that the trunk line will be built through this county. In well informed circles in this county the conviction prevails that work upon the highway in this county will begin early in the New Year. Commenting upon the inability of Riverside to get a line upon the State Highway Commission, a Riverside paper gives out this wall: "'For ways that are dark and tricks that are vain,' the highway commission 'is peculiar,' as Bret Harte said of the Heathen Chinee, or so it appears from their movements Saturday when the members were cavorting around in this section while three delegations sat in the Riverside Chamber of Commerce apartments pulling at good fusees and wondering what they would say and how they would say it to the distinguished body of individuals in whose hands has been placed the matter of disposing of $18,000,000 of the state's hard pickings. "The commission, traveling in a big Locomobile, wheeled through San Bernardino, not making their presence known there until after they had departed, and went over to Redlands, where they ate luncheon at Hotel Casa Loma and afterwards gave the Redlands reporters the effort of their lives to patch up what the members of the board said they would friend, the Riverside Booster, and his name is legion, has been working overtime to have the road skirt the hill graced by the Rubidoux Cross, ignoring the mission which Serra built at San Juan. The first is Frank Miller's fake, the second is one of the historical landmarks of the state. The Booster desires that the main trunk line be built along the foothills from Los Angeles easterly to his town, and thence southerly through Temecula canyon to San Diego. This would be a great thing for Riverside, but would deal with the claims of Orange county rather airily. What cares the Riverside Booster for the desires of Los Angeles and San Diego for direct communication, one county with the other, separate and apart from all considerations for Orange county, so long as the tide of travel may be diverted to the Glenwood Tavern? But, we opine, despite all these deep-laid schemes, the Booster is riding to a fall, notwithstanding the unanimity of sentiment along the boulevard, and the hair-pulling hitherward. If the Highway Commission came north from San Diego to Riverside, by way of Temecula canyon, Frank Miller's goose is cooked, if it ever had a look-in with the Orange county highway. Twenty years ago the Santa Fe built its track thorough Temecula canyon, against the protest of Alcalde Egan and other old-timers The rains came, Mr. Ripley's tracks were washed out, and he never went back there again. If the Alcalde's persuasive powers were not enough, at his luncheon to the distinguished visitors, to dissuade them form building through the canyon, an auto trip through that wild and wooly gorge would settle its hash. First, the road would be the most expensive in the state; second, it would be washed away every winter; third, it would accommodate no one but the Riverside Booster, and fourth, it would add 75 miles to the route between Los Angeles and San Diego. It would ignore the Camino Real, which the saintly feet of Serra trod, past the San Juan Mission, through Orange county, and joining these two large centers of population: We believe Orange county has the bulge on the Riverside Booster, but a little less hair-pulling there, you kids in the back pews. HEIRS BEGIN SUIT Huntington Beach Property Invoked been placed the matter of disposing of $18,000,000 of the state's hard pickings. "The commission, traveling in a big Locomobile, wheeled through San Bernardino, not making their presence known there until after they had departed, and went over to Redlands, where they ate luncheon at Hotel Casa Loma and afterwards gave the Redlands reporters the effort of their lives to patch up what the members of the board said they would not say and why they would not say it. As though the reporters copped out somewhat more than that from the presence of the men who have the say as to where the state road shall run, the commission members are rigidly freezing to the policy of remaining as mute as an oyster whenever a man with a pencil sticking out of his pocket heaves in sight. Possibly, like some other distinguished gentlemen, they imagine they are drawing salaries from the taxpayers to do just as they please. It is even within reason to suppose these high and mighty ones believe themselves to be too good to talk to newspaper men, so that the public may be kept informed as to their official acts. "After passing some time in the neighborhood of Redlands Saturday afternoon, the gentlemen motord back to Los Angeles. Yesterday they went through Orange county, stopping briefly at Orange, Santa Ana and other points and later going to San Juan Capistrano. Guessers of repute, for the entire feature of the journeys of the commission are mere guesses, believe the commissioners will work up through the valley, arriving in ignore the Camino Real, which the saintly feet of Serra trod, past the San Juan Mission, through Orange county, and joining these two large centers of population: We believe Orange county has the bulge on the Riverside Booster, but a little less hair-pulling there, you kids in the back pews. HEIRS BEGIN SUIT Huntington Beach Property Invovled In Legal Contest Suit was begun by the estate and heirs of Elmer C. Worden against Mrs. Marion M. Chamberlain of Huntington Beach for the purpose of setting aside a deed from Worden to her When the estate was ready for distribution it was contested by Mrs. Chamberlain, who asserted that $800 was due her for services as nurse and housekeeper for Worden. Ruling on the claim has been delayed. During the hearing Mrs. Chamberlain asserted that property at Huntington Beach worth $2500 was deeded to her by Worden before his death and the deed held in escrow on a contract that she remain with Worden until his death. Attorneys for the heirs and estate believe that the deed can be made void. J. B. Rea went to Los Angeles on Sunday morning to see W. H. Blenerhassett, who for some weeks past had been lying at the point of death at a hospital in that city. Shortly after his departure his family received telephone advices that Mr. Blenerhassett had passed away at 5 o'clock that morning.

ANAHEIM, CALIFORNIA, THURSDAY, NOVEMBER 30, 1911 BOARD OF TRADE BANQUETS CITY DADS BOOSTER TALKS BY MEMBERS OF BOTH BODIES MON-DAY NIGHT Eloquent Pleas for Harmony and Concerted Action by Anaheim's Orators—Judge Howard Promises One Factory in Near Future and sees signs of Others—A. A. Mills resolutes on the Irrigation System—Vander Horck Resigns as Treasurer of the Board of Trade. The banquet given by the Board of Trade at the Germania restaurant Monday night, with the City Trustees as guests, had not been exploited or advertised, but fifty enthusiastic Anaheim boosters gathered around the board after the adjournment of those two bodies and partook of the good things provided for them. After devoting half an hour to satisfying the inner man President Adams called for order and announced that Charles Eygabroad would address the assembly, his subject being the Board of Trade. Mr. Eygabroad said that he was pleased to say that so far as his experience extended the City Trustees and the Board of Trade always worked in harmony. Many committees from the latter had visited the Trustee meetings with various recommendations, and had invariably been courteously received and their from the northern part of the State, had recently pronounced Center street the most beautifully paved street in California, Chairman Adams adjourned the meeting. Previous to the banquet the regular session of the Board was held but little business was transacted beyond routine work. The removal of C. Z. VanderHorck left a vacancy on the dog committee and A. Nagel was appointed in his stead. Mr. Nagel stated that he thought all the dogs in town would shortly be muzzled as six muzzles had been stolen from his dog within the past week or two. If this continues at the same rate all the unmuzzled dogs in Anaheim will be supplied in a week or two. A motion requesting the Trustees to appoint an official dog catcher was passed. A. A Mills introduced the following resolution on irrigation, which was adopted: Whereas, It has been represented to us by the Los Angeles Chamber of Commerce, through its president, James Slausson, that the advocates of the swamp reclamation in the Southern States contemplate an effort to control the Irrigation Congress, change its name and alter the direction of its energies by making this organization one for reclamation instead of irrigation. Whereas, If this be accomplished, the good offices of this organization will be used to induce the Congress of the United States to supply funds for reclamation in the South as is now supplied for irrigation projects in the West, and to cut off the supply of such funds for further irrigation developments in the GET PERMIT FIRST AND THEN BUILD ORDER OF THINGS TO BE CHANGED—GET BUILDING PERMIT FIRST. Fire Traps in Business Section of the Town to Be Strictly Tabooed in Future—Trustees Refuse Wm. Dyck—mann Permit to Construct Cheap Building on Los Angeles Street—Mrs. L. Resh Granted Permission to Construct Store Building in Resident Section of Town—Other Notes. By the action of the Board of Trustees at Monday evenings special meeting a stop will in all probability be put to constructing buildings within the fire limits without first getting a permit to do so. This action was caused by the partial construction of a fire trap by Willian Dyckmann on North Los Angeles street adjoining the Germania Halle. Dyckmann asked for a permit at the regular meeting of the City Council last week but it was not granted pending inspection by members of the Board. At that time the frame work of the little shack was just about completed and as a result some of the city dads were quite wroth and decided that it was about time that people should know that an ordinance existed governing building within certain After devoting half an hour to satisfying the inner man President Adams called for order and announced that Charles Eygabroad would address the assembly, his subject being the Board of Trade. Mr. Eygabroad said that he was pleased to say that so far as his experience extended the City Trustees and the Board of Trade always worked in harmony. Many committees from the latter had visited the Trustee meetings with various recommendations, and had invariably been courteously received and their requests considered. "The Trustees now," he said, "are compelled to work without compensation. It is up to us to get busy and boost Anaheim into a fifth class city so the members can draw a salary for the labor they are doing." Herman Stern was called upon by the chairman to relate some of his experiences of earlier days, and after telling about the first Chamber of Commerce in Anaheim, which was composed largely of members from Buena Park, Orangethorpe and other outside points, he related some of his earlier experiences in the real estate business. "Fifteen years ago," he said, "I owned a tract or land near Anaheim. I sold thirty acres of it for $1800 to a poor consumptive and accepted $50 as first payment on it as that was all the money he possessed in the world. The next day he went to Santa Ana and borrowed $2250 on the land, and I have never seen him since. I also sold forty acres off the same tract to another party who shortly afterward disposed of a ten-acre slice for the same figure he paid me for the forty acres." Trustee Frank Gates responded to an invitation from the chairman and made a short talk on behalf of the city dads. "The Board of Trade is a valuable aid to the Trustees," said Mr. Gates, "because they bring many important things before us that might otherwise not be presented to the Board. All questions of public moment should originate with the citizens and discussed by the Board of Trade, then we would know what the people demand." J. W. Duckworth, who was introduced by Chairman Adams as "Our Booster," made a few remarks. He said the Board of Trade had accomplished many things in the past and would accomplish many more in the future. "It has paved our streets, it landed our sugar factory, and has been a power for good," he said. "The people of Anaheim always pull together, and so long as they continue to do this they will continue to land what they go after." Trustee Stark refused to talk but yielded the floor to Judge Howard. "There are three interesting points about this impromptu speaking," said the Judge. "Firstly, you don't know that you will be called upon to speak; secondly, you swamp reclamation in the Southern States contemplate an effort to control the Irrigation Congress, change its name and alter the direction of its energies by making this organization one for reclamation instead of irrigation. Whereas, If this be accomplished, the good offices of this organization will be used to induce the Congress of the United States to supply funds for reclamation in the South as is now supplied for irrigation projects in the West, and to cut off the supply of such funds for further irrigation developments in the West. Whereas, Of the $119,555,000 wisely invested in irrigation and reclamation by the Government, the different States have supplied as follows: Arizona ..... $13,640,000 California ..... 620,000 Colorado ..... 9,865,000 Idaho ..... 19,719,000 Nebraska-Wyoming ..... 10,280,000 Montana ..... 15,695,000 Nevada ..... 6,380,000 New Mexico ..... 10,250,000 North Dakota ..... 880,000 Oregon ..... 6,060,000 South Dakota ..... 3,000,000 Utah ..... 2,063,000 Washington ..... 11,558,000 Wyoming ..... 6,750,000 Whereas, California, it is reported, has more than a million and a half acres of semi-arid land and has been apportioned the minimum amount of the irrigation reclamation funds. Resolved, That it be the sense of the Anaheim Board of Trade, that the money loaned to the different irrigation reclamation projects is money well used and that we recommend that this line of development be extended where the projects are feasible and safe and the money carefully and wisely placed. Resolved, That we also favor the loan of money by the Government for swamp or drainage reclamation where such projects can be shown to be feasible and safe, the loans to be wisely and carefully made. Resolved, That we are opposed to the changing of the name and the directing of the energies of Congress for any purpose whatever, but would favor the organization of other reclamation congresses and the use of the good offices of such other organization to induce the Congress of the United States to loan money for other reclamation projects under proper safeguards. Resolved, That in our Judgment California should have a greater proportion of the funds for irrigation reclamation. Resolved, That Mr. Culler be made our delegate to represent us at the irrigation congress in Chicago December 5, 1911. Resolved, That a copy of these resolutions be forwarded to the Los Angeles State Department. A permit to construct a $500 building on Center and Citron streets, applied for Mrs. L. Resh at last week's meeting of the Council, was granted as the Board decided that it had no power to prevent it, the location being outside the fire limits. The building in question is to be used as a store room, and as a result the residents of that part of town are up in arms and there will no doubt be pretty warm times in that section before the matter is settled and it is understood that there were certain building restrictions on the lot where the structure is to be built, and the Trustees are perfectly willing to let the applicant and her neighbors settle the matter between themselea. The following building permits were asked for and granted' J. W. Sweet, $1100 frame building on Davis street. Mrs. J. F. Burgess, $1500 frame dwelling on North Philadelphia street. J. B. Coykenwall, $1500 frame barn on Zeyn street. The application of D. Gervais to construct a pipe line to his property on South street was held up for the present until the Jones Company of Los Angeles, who own a tract of land between the present south terminal of the pipe line and Mr. Gervais' property, can be communicated with if this company is ready for water to be piped to its property the permit of Mr. Gervais will be granted. The Public Improvement committee suggested that lights be installed at four or five places on Chestnut street between Lemon and Palm streets and the same was so ordered.. many more in the future. "It has paved our streets, it landed our sugar factory, and has been a power for good," he said. "The people of Anaheim always pull together, and so long as they continue to do this they will continue to land what they go after." Trustee Stark refused to talk but yielded the floor to Judge Howard. "There are three interesting points about this impromptu speaking," said the Judge. "Firstly, you don't know that you will be called upon to speak; secondly, you don't know what you are expected to say, and thirdly, nobody knows what you have said when you have finished. Anaheim," he continued, "has been remarkably fortunate in its selection of a Board of Trustees during the past years. That body has done noble work for the city during past years." Anaheim has heretofore been the center of a rich agricultural region, but it is now developing into a manufacturing center. One big factory, I venture to say, will be built within our limits in less than six months, and I can see the shadow of others in the distance. We are going to make the balance of the world sit up and take notice of Anaheim." "I have little to say," said Secretary Ahlborn in answer to his name, "except that the ornamental electric lighting proposition is progressing and I can promise that Anaheim will have the lights within a very short time. People throughout the entire country are beginning to hear of Anaheim. We are just now receiving answers to postal cards sent out many years ago containing inquiries about us, showing that the world is beginning to hear of us. I believe more will be accomplished within the next two years than the past ten have shown." After announcing that Judge Raker, 509 to 140 Against Licensing Liquor Traffic. With approximately 300 women voting at Saturday's special election to determine whether or not to have liquor, Fullerton decided overwhelmingly against such policy. The vote stood 509 against license to 140 in favor. The town would probably have remained dry even had women not voted. In the wet and dry election of two years ago Fullerton decided by two votes in a hotly contested election to go dry. Resolved, That in our Judgment California should have a greater proportion of the funds for irrigation reclamation. Resolved, That Mr. Cutler be made our delegate to represent us at the irrigation congress in Chicago December 5, 1911. Resolved, That a copy of these resolutions be forwarded to the Los Angeles Chamber of Commerce, and also to each of our Senators and Representatives in Congress, and that they be urgently requested to act in harmony with the sentiment hereby expressed. The advertising committee reported the purchase of two hundred maps of Orange county. An advertisement of Anaheim will be printed in the corner before distribution. The resignation of C. Z. VanderHorek as treasurer of the Board of Trade was accepted and Otto Storm elected to the vacancy. FULLERTON EXTRA DRY HARD TIMES NO MORE Once Knocked at Placentia People's Cabin Door A. Pierotti was in town from his Placentia orange ranch on Saturday afternoon and in conversation with a number of friends spoke of the changed condition of affairs at Placentia from the time, forty years ago, the section was known as the Rancho Peores Nada (worse than nothing.)" Of course," he said, "we Placentia people believe we live in the garden spot of the earth.

Alleged irregularities in action of Supervisors Charged by Residents—Denial of Protest Against Inclusion by Taxpayers Also Made an Issue—Latter Hold That If They Had Been Excluded, Not Sufficient Population Would Remain To Form Town. Alleging irregularities in formation of the town of Stanton, citizens of that municipality have lodged complaint with Attorney-General Webb, asking him to bring an action in the superior court testing the validity of the incorporation. In compliance with this purpose, papers were served upon the trustees of the town some days ago by W. J. Cole, one of the plaintiffs in the action. A complaint was also filed with the attorney general last week by Homer G. Ames, who with Judge John D. Pope of Los Angeles appear as counsel for plaintiffs. The town of Stanton was formed last spring. At a meeting of the supervisors at which incorporation was considered, 75 tax payers included in the municipality appeared and protested against being included. At a "When things were at their darkest, an appeal was made to J. W. Shanklin, then owner of the Olinda ranch, and he came through with the money. Still the Cajon company was not successful, and we organized the North Anaheim Canal company. In 1883 we came to Anaheim asking a union of the water companies. Your people met us half way, and we have been joined in the holy bonds of irrigation ever since." CONCORDIA ENTERTAINS Singing Society Favors Large Audience With Fine Program. Knights of Columbus hall was filled with a delighted audience on Tuesday evening of last week, when members of the Concordia club, under leadership of Prof. Tiedemann, rendered a vocal and instrumental program of unusual excellence. Singing by the society was of a high order of merit, and the instrumentation of Professor and Miss Tiedemann was such as to stamp them artists in their lines. The society will repeat three concerts monthly. Proceeds to go to the building fund. It is Prof. Tiedemann's purpose in the near future to begin the erection of a large building to house the society and to provide a hall for theaters and other entertainments. The program was as follows: 1. Grand March and Chorus from Tann-hauser ... Wagner 2. Violin and Piano Professor and Miss Tiedemann 3. Concert Selection from Marths ... Flotow 4. Two Pianos Misses Meineke, Junge and Bush a Gruesse an die Heimat ... Kroemer b Jaegerlied ... Boeckh 5. Concordia Piano Solo—Barcarolle ... Rubenstein Miss Martha Wippelmann 6.

Waldler of this city on Friday petitioned for guardianship of his daughter, Audrey, aged 15, stating that her estate consisted of an unliquidated claim against the Southern California Edison Company for $20,000. Miss Waldler was some months ago burned by a live wire belonging to the company while on her way to school. The wire had been blown down by a wind and lay across the street. She picked it up to cast some days ago by W. J. Cole, one of the plaintiffs in the action. A complaint was also filed with the attorney general last week by Homer G. Ames, who with Judge John D. Pope of Los Angeles appear as counsel for plaintiffs. The town of Stanton was formed last spring. At a meeting of the supervisors at which incorporation was considered, 75 tax payers included in the municipality appeared and protested against being included. At a second meeting of the supervisors 60 more tax payers appeared and lodged similar protest. Their petition was denied by the supervisors, who held that the preceding meeting, at which boundaries of the town had been agreed upon, was the final hearing. Had they been excluded, not a sufficient number of residents would have remained to justify incorporation. It is charged that the supervisors acted ill-advisedly in refusing their petition. Other irregularities are charged, and should the attorney-general consent to a suit, a stubbornly contested fight is looked for. W. J. Hanlon of Los Angeles was in San Francisco last week interviewing the attorney-general on behalf of the City of Stanton. Published statemen's that Araheim citizens are conniving at the plan to disincorporate Stanton are unfounded. BRINGS SUIT TO CANCEL Declares Mrs. Young Had Typhoid When Life Was Insured With the declaration that Mrs. Mary L. Young had typhoid fever when she told the examining physician she was in perfect health, the Security Life Insurance Company of America has brought suit to cancel the policy that was issued upon Mrs. Young's life. The defendant in the suit is Mrs. Young's daughter, Lena M. Scott. Mrs. Young lived at Fullerton, and was examined for life insurance on October 10, 1910, at which time the company alleles she had typhoid fever, and she died on February 23, 1911, following an operation for appendicitis. The physician to whom Mrs. Young made the statement as to her health was Dr. J. L. Beebe of this city. DROUTH IN FIFTH DRISTRICT Towns Vote Solidly Against Licensing Saloons. By a vote of 682 to 110 residents of the Fifth Supervisor district voted on Against Electric Company George G. Waldler of this city on Friday petitioned for guardianhip of his daughter, Audrey, aged 15, stating that her estate consisted of an unliquidated claim against the Southern California Edison Company for $20,000. Miss Waldler was some months ago burned by a live wire belonging to the company while on her way to school. The wire had been blown down by a wind and lay across the street. She picked it up to cast it aside, when she was almost fatally burned.' She was brought to the hospital here and was for many weeks under physicians' care. Skin grafting had to be resorted to, and hundreds of her schoolmates appeared at the hospital in response to a call, and bared their arms for taking portions of cuticle. The little girl's father instituted suit for damages against the company. AH THERE, FRANCES With her hair elaborately curled, Mrs. Frances Allen, alias Mrs. Hugh Adams, aged 23 years, was in Justie Cox's court at Santa Ana the other day for her preliminary examination on a charge of forgery, and was held to answer for trial in the Supreme Court. She is charged with forging the name of Frank Musselman, a restaurant man, to a check for $40 which was accepted by the German-American Bank of Anaheim on October 18. Mike Lopez and Joe Morales left on Tuesday for Sonora, Mexico, where they go to purchase land. They will be gone a month. DROUTH IN FIFTH DRISTRICT Towns Vote Solidly Against Licensing Saleons. By a vote of 682 to 110 residents of the Fifth Supervisor district voted on Saturday against the licensing of saloons in that section of the county. The vote by precincts was as follows: Precinct Yes No Tustin... 10 390 Newport... 16 129 El Toro... 11 31 San Juan... 55 35 San Joaquin... 10 34 Trabuco... 1 14 Laguna... 4 14 Delhi... 3 35 Total... 110 682 George Hudson of Stockton, grand master of the I. O. O. F. in California, visited the local lodge here on Monday evening of last week, when delegates and brethren were present from a number of outside communities. Mr. Hudson complimented the local Odd Fellows upon their splendid showing and spoke in words of praise regarding the hall of the order erected here. A banquet was served after the meeting. On Wednesday Mr. Hudson was taken for an auto ride by Judge Howard, G. J. Stock and Will Goodwin.
