Upon motion the board adjourned to February 6th, at 10 a.m. NEEDLESS CUT IN PRICE Talking of the depressed condition of the walnut market a prominent handler of the California product recently gave his opinion to the editor of Country Life that the cut in the prices of the coast product since the season began was unnecessary. "The California crop," he says, "was about 15 per cent larger than in any previous year, but there has been a very heavy distribution throughout the country. The east had brought its usual complement of foreign nuts and naturally had to find a market for them, but as the California quality this year was vastly superior to that of any of the imported goods, the trade which had tried the former Treasurer... 3,311.09 4,904.17 Consumers, on account of water... 1,433.95 Cement sold ... 78.90 Oil Royalty ... 763.70 Construction and open accounts ... 400.90 Rentals..... 155.00 Assessment, No. 54 ... 5,591.00 Gen.

IOWA PICNIC The Iowa Association of Southern California will hold its annual picnic February 22, 1912, at Eastlake park, Los Angeles. At this great gathering of resident and visiting Iowans the opportunity will be given, as in former years, to renew and form acquaintances and to promote the fraternal spirit in those who come from the grand commonwealth of Iowa. If the weather be rainy for a day or two preceding the 22d, or on that day, a postponement will be made to Saturday, March 2d, at the same place. We desire to extend a cordial invitation to all Iowans to meet with us this year. Ninety-nine county headquarters will be established and in there each one may meet and greet old friends and form new acquaintances. The county headquarters will be located as on the map of the state which is the best possible way to enable all to find them. Any Iowans who are visiting in California are specially invited to arrange to attend this picnic. You may meet many old friends and neighbors. Every one is urged to go to his or authorized members of the association The W.R.C. of Los Angeles will supply coffee, sandwiches, pie and doughnuts at reasonable prices. Annual business meeting (election of officers for ensuing year) will be held near headquarters, immediately following the program given at same place at 2:30. We rely upon loyal and enthusiastic Iowans all over Southern California to keep this meeting before the public, to see that your local papers give notices and to cooperate with the officers of the association in making this picnic the best yet held. Any further information will be gladly furnished by Secretary, C. H. Parsons, whose office is on the third floor of the chamber of commerce building, in Los Angeles, and where all Iowans will always receive a cordial and a hearty welcome. SUPERVISORS' MEETING Official Statement of Proceedings of Orange County Board Following is a report of the proceedings of the Board of Supervisors at the adjourned meeting held January 23: Lot 14, of the Kordes tract, in the prices of the coast product since the season began was unnecessary. "The California crop," he says, "was about 15 per cent larger than in any previous year, but there has been a very heavy distribution throughout the country. The east had brought its usual complement of foreign nuts and naturally had to find a market for them, but as the California quality this year was vastly superior to that of any of the imported goods, the trade which had tried the former gave them the preference on that point. This resulted in curtailment of demand for the foreign goods with a consequent depression in the market prices on them. The importer was, of course, dissatisfied with the conditions. He sought to get his money out of the foreign walnuts but without success, and when he found he had to have more Californias he used the fact of the depressed condition of the foreign product to bear on the California market. California shippers none too wisely accepted his view as correct. Thinking that they had either to sell their goods before Christmas or eventually dispose of them at a loss, they made concessions from time to time in t.c.b. coast quotations. Most of these concessions, however, were made too late to move the California goods to the eastern seaboard in time for the holiday consumption. Two results folowed, for neither of which was there any excuse. The first of these was the reduction of prices on stocks consigned east. The second was the dislocating of the entire industry on the coast, without reducing stocks thereby so much as one bag."

Center st., opposite City Hall Anaheim Anaheim Bakery Peter Syre, prop. Fresh Bread Cakes and Pies Confectionery, etc. Wedding Cakes a Specialty Los Angeles and Express Sts. Finest of Wines, Liquors quarters will be established and in there each one may meet and greet old friends and form new acquaintances. The county headquarters will be located as on the map of the state which is the best possible way to enable all to find them. Any Iowa who are visiting in California are specially invited to arrange to attend this picnic. You may meet many old friends and neighbors. Every one is urged to go to his or her county and register promptly. All your friends will want to know if you are there, and we want your name on the list. A new feature for this year will be a reunion at headquarters where every one in Southern California, who was born in Iowa before December 28, 1846, (Iowa’s Admission Day), is requested to go and register and to meet the others. We want to find who is the oldest native-born Iowa in Southern California. If you cannot be present send your name and address, date and place of birth, to the secretary. There will be university and college headquarters established near the county registrations, and all former students are invited to meet in their respective places from three to four o'clock. By having a definite hour it is hoped many more will avail themselves of this chance to meet fellow students. There will be a tent at headquarters where you may check your parcels for five cents. Emergency provisions will also be made at headquarters for any cases of illness or accident. Bring well filled baskets and generously invite those people unprovided to enjoy your hospitality. Take a day off and join our jolly thousands. No advertising of any kind will be allowed and no badges or souvenirs may be sold except the official ones, as the expenses of the association are met entirely by the sale of these by Los Angeles, and where all Iowa will always receive a cordial and a hearty welcome.
