A regular meeting of the board of directors was held on the above date with all members present. The minutes of the last regular meeting were read and approved. Director Hale reported that the committee appointed to purchase a shoe for pit No. 2 at pumping plant No. 3, had ordered one and it would be shipped as soon as Mr. Morlae was ready for it. Mr. Lovell appeared before the board and requested that the company cement the present open dirt ditch which crosses his property in the Berry tract. His request was referred to the ditch committee. Applications on file for transfer of stock was on motion granted. Wm. McDuffle presented an agreement for laying the 2-inch water pipe line across the Amalgamated lease and on motion of Hale, seconded by Beazley, the president and secretary were authorized to sign the agreement. A. E. Morlae reported he had arranged for a bond to take the place of the cash he had deposited with the company as a guarantee on the pits constructed at pumping plant No. 3. He also requested a check for $100 in tary parade that is to precede the exercises for the starting of work on the largest exhibit palace on the grounds of the 1915 world’s fair, and other picturesque events that are scheduled for that day. It will be a novel sight for the visitors and local residents to see four hundred Olympic Club athletes swimming in San Francisco bay on New Year's day. They will also see one of Uncle Sam's submarine boats sink from their gaze and perform other evolutions. Boat and swimming races have been arranged and daring aviators will give hydroplane and biplane exhibitions. Six hundred school children will sing anthems and scores of bands will combine in rendering appropriate melodies on this occasion. Receptions are to be held in the Service Building, the first structure to be erected on the Exposition site. All the States and Foreign Exposition organizations, the Board of Directors and Woman's Board are to receive their friends and visitors in this building. Gold medals are to be awarded the aviators who fly on this day. These medals will commemorate the breaking of ground for the Machinery Building. Committees are actively engaged in planning an interesting program for this big celebration, which promises to surpass in interest the ground breaking ceremonies held in Golden Gate Park a year ago.

The tent has been especially ordered for orange show purposes and is equipped with every known device and arrangement for protecting the exhibits from unfavorable weather, and at the same time show off the displays to the very best advantage. In no way except under a canvas can the magnificent lighting effect on the fruit be obtained. The beauty of the displays is shown up to the best advantage. So with the especially built tent both safety and the best possible lighting effect are secured. Displays of fruits are already assured from nearly every one of the important citrus fruit districts in the State, Central California being liberally represented in addition to all Southern California sections. A greater and more varied range will be shown in the exhibits at the coming show than ever before. The third National Orange Show will easily be California's greatest mid-winter event. FULLERTON NEWS ITEMS Contract Let For Sinking Wells For City Water Plant At the meeting of the Fullerton city trustees Friday evening bids for drilling two wells for the municipal water system were opened. One was from Layne & Bowler of Los Angeles, who offered to do the work for $7.90 a foot, agreeing to use screen pipe at points where water was tapped. The bid of S. F. Catey, also of Los Angeles, was $5 a foot, and the mayor and clerk were authorized to sign a contract with him for both wells, which will go down on the city's property southeast of town. It is believed the contractor will have to drill to a depth of from 300 to 400 feet. The city will give the concrete bridge on North Spadra street a thorough test before it is used, running a weight of at least twenty tons over it. The bridge was erected by the same contractor who built the Chapman avenue bridge, which went down some days ago. Some of the material from which the last named bridge was constructed has been analyzed in Los Angeles and it is said it is not up to standard, although a thorough test cannot be completed for another week. Newcomers were here this week moved by Hale and seconded by Beazley that the petition be granted and the superintendent instructed to employ an engineer to regrade the ditch so that all improvements would be on a proper grade. Director Dwyer requested that the company pipe the Anaheim ditch from the terminus of the cement ditch in Richfield to East street, Anaheim. On motion of McFadden, seconded by Hale the ditch committee was instructed to employ an engineer to get the grades and specifications for pipe lines on the Anaheim ditch and the North Branch ditch in Placentia and report at the next meeting. Engineer Hurd of Placentia offered a survey of the proposed ditch from the Tuffree reservoir to Kraemer ditch. This was referred to the ditch committee. Mr. Hurd also presented a map of the Placentia district and it was moved by Hale and seconded by Bradford that the company purchase a copy of the map from Mr. Hurd after he had tracted the ditches of the company on the same. On motion the meeting adjourned. WM. T. WALLOP, Secretary. NEW YEAR'S CELEBRATION All the railroads leading to San Francisco are making extensive preparations to handle thousands of visitors from the interior, who are going to participate in the festivities that are to be held on the eve of "1913" and the ground breaking ceremonies for Machinery Hall for the Panama-Pacific International Exposition on New Year's day. It is expected that there will be at least 100,000 visitors in the city on that day. They are going to see the aviation meet on the Exposition site, the mill- ANAHEIM ALWAYS WAS CITY OF PROGRESS STARTED OUT IN EARLY DAYS WHEN REST OF STATE WAS SLEEPING TALK OF EXTENDING THE BOUNDARIES OF THE CITY WESTWARD (From Gazette, Dec. 3, 1870.) The past week in our city has been one of activity and progress. Life, enterprise and prosperity are apparent on very hand. And yet this is only a repetition of the previous week and a small beginning of what awaits us in the future. It is believed that no place on the Pacific Coast at the present time has such good prospect, so many latent advantages of location or is enjoying so fine a condition of prosperity as Anaheim. Money is plenty, trade is good and every citizen is getting rich. What other city in all California can say as much? Not one in the north; and not another one in the south. The only city of prosperity, the only place that now "pans out rich" is beautiful, evergreen Anaheim. Beneath the sun there is no place so rare, so lovely, so tranquil. The aroma of her flowers ascends to Heaven, her picturesque landscape is a perpetual delight to the vision, and her wine—her wine—well, das ist goot, by tam. There is some talk going the rounds, about extending the limits of the city out to the western boundaries of sec- Landing, consigned to San Bernardino and various points in Arizona. It is thought that Anaheim is indebted to San Bernardino for the late accessions of Chinese population. FREE SWITCHING Home Telephone Co. Opens Garden Grove Exchange The Home Telephone Company on Saturday opened its exchange at Garden Grove, and connection was immediately made with Anaheim. This is the result of the recent campaign in Garden Grove, in which the Home company secured almost two hundred subscribers and, it is claimed, sounded the death knell of the Pacific company in Garden Grove. The work of installing phones is being pushed at the fastest possible rate, and it is expected they will all be installed inside of two weeks. Manager Bates said in an interview the first of the week, that telephones were being connected up as fast as the law would allow, and that the work would be rushed to early completion. He said that upwards of one hundred and seventy-five phones are now signed up and before the installation of these is complete, a total of two hundred will probably be ordered. The Garden Grove exchange is now connected with the Anaheim exchange and free switching between subscribers at these two points is in force. Thus 200 new subscribers will be practically added to the Anaheim exchange and local people will have the added advantage of free connection with the entire western section in and about Garden Grove and near-by points. It is claimed this is the first step toward the granting of free switching all over the county. The Home company has announced that as soon as the Orange field is opened to it, all exchanges in the county will be given free connection with each other. A stiff fight has been in progress for the Orange territory for some months past and efforts are still being made by the Home company to secure an entrance into this field. The Orange board of trustees is opposed to having two telephone systems in the town, and up to date, have not encouraged the Home company in its efforts to secure a foothold there.

We extend to our friends and patrons best wishes for a Happy and prosperous New Year with hopes for a continuance of their trade at the meat market where a Square Deal is the rule. Schneider Brothers. There is some talk going the rounds, about extending the limits of the city out to the western boundaries of sections 9 and 16. If this should take place, it would embrace much valuable property and many residences. In Need of a School—We are informed by W. J. Smith, Esq., that in his vicinity three miles north of Anaheim (evidently Fullerton in embryo) there are about 40 school children unprovided with a school. This being the case, a public school should be provided fo, that section at an early date. The San Bernardino and Wilmington stage has, for some reason, been hauled off. We understand, however, that a new line is to take its place immediately. Mr. Kuelp and other well informed citizens estimate the population of Anaheim to be 1,000. The New Jail and Council Room—This new structure now being erected on a lot adjoining the Catholic church, promises to be a very creditable one. The front is to be a council room 16 by 16 feet and the rear is being made into two cells, one of which is 10 by 10 feet, and the other 6 by 10 feet. The floor of the jail is double and the walls are six inches solid thickness, and are filled with closely-driven nails. It is being built by Messrs. Peck and McKinnie and will be finished in about two weeks. Our esteemed townsman, Ed. Polhemus, Esq., left last week on a flying visit to Pioho Rancho, in Monterey county, for the benefit of his health. Those who owe him will be pleased to learn that he will return in two weeks.

(From Gazette, Dec. 10, 1870.) Santa Ana This flourishing village now embraces 24 well-constructed and comfortable houses, among which are a store and postoffice. Parties are talking of constructing a commodious hotel, as constant inquiry is being made for one by travelers and settlers. The indications are that the country around Santa Ana for many miles will all soon be occupied by beautiful garden homes, such as only can be brought into existence in this remarkable climate. During last week 12 families camped down on the William’s estate, and even now are nearly all permanently located thereabouts. While the land around Santa Ana is the very best, the price thus far has been quite low, hence the influx of settlers. We are informed by A. L. Bush, Esq., that the McFadden ranches have been withdrawn from market at $16 per acre, as they were going like "hot cakes" at that value. It is to be regretted that proprietors withdrew their land from sale because it sells well at a reasonable figure. The same course has hitherto been pursued around Anaheim, and always with a deterimental effect: Let the country be settled up and developed, no matter at how low a price per acre, for therein lies the secret of wealth to proprietors, and prosperity to the community. Freight—On Wednesday last we noticed about 20 tons of assorted merchandise in the warehouse at Anaheim Who advertises and does it right is the man who wears the happy smile and never says “business is dull.” He’s the fellow That Gets Results.
