EXHIBIT OF PRODUCTS AT FARMERS' INSTITUTE ANAHEIM TO MAKE GREAT DISPLAY OF CITRUS AND DECIDUOUS FRUITS COMMISSION APPOINTED TO SELECT SITE FOR EXPERIMENT STATION WILL BE INVITED That the range of soil products in this section is larger than that of any other portion of the globe will be one of the aims of a three-day farmers' institute to be held in this city some time during the coming summer. Taking the matter actively in hand, the board of trade on Monday evening extended formal invitation to J. B. Neff, conductor of farmers' institutes in Southern California to hold such a meeting here, and Mr. Neff yesterday made the statement that he would be most happy to comply with the request. The origin of the movement is in part attributable to Prof. E. J. Wickson, who was in Anaheim last week and who stated to a body of representative citizens that he recalled with particular pleasure a farmers' attendance of farmers and business men. He said that the attendance at many of the farmers' institutes held by him in other section had been most satisfactory, and the meetings had been very successful. He desired that an institute held in his home town be up to this standard, and he was assured such would be the case. Mr. Neff will secure a number of noted speakers to be present at the meeting. An especial effort will be made by the board of trade to have Dr. Wheeler, president of the university, Dr. Hunt, dean of the college of agriculture, Dr. Webber of the citrus experiment station and Prof. Wickson to be among their number. The display of products which will at that time be made, will no doubt be the largest and the most varied in character that has ever been attempted at a similar meeting in this state. The time of the meeting has not yet been fixed but it will probably be late in the summer, when a representative display of products may be best secured. It is the intention of the board of trade to invite the commission which will be appointed by Governor Johnson to select a site for the new citrus experiment station to be present, and it may yet develop that an especial invitation may be extended the governor for him also to be among the number. If the governor's duties at Sacramento are not such as to demand his presence at the State capital at that time, he will certainly be invited and urged... ing the matter actively in hand, the board of trade on Monday evening extended formal invitation to J. B. Neff, conductor of farmers' institutes in Southern California to hold such a meeting here, and Mr. Neff yesterday made the statement that he would be most happy to comply with the request. The origin of the movement is in part attributable to Prof. E. J. Wickson, who was in Anaheim last week and who stated to a body of representative citizens that he recalled with particular pleasure a farmers' institute held in the opera house here several years ago at which one of the most splendid exhibits of fruits and vegetables that he had ever seen in his varied career was made by our farmers. In fact, Prof. Wickson recalled two farmers' institutes held here, in each of which a very fine exhibit of citrus and deciduous fruits, vegetables, berries and cereals were made. "I remember those institutes perfectly," said the professor, "and I do not believe I shall soon forget them. You had a very fine list of speakers here, and I was fortunate enough to be present during a portion of the meeting. I remember your exhibit of products which was wonderful in its completeness and variety. I have seldow seen a better exhibit in California, and I recall the meeting with particular pleasure." In the center of the hall long tables stretched from the platform to the doorway. Upon these was every description of citrus and deciduous fruits. The display included Valencia and navel oranges, lemons, grapefruit, walnuts, peaches, pears, plums, grapes and many other varieties of fruits fresh from the tree and in glass jars. There were sugar beets and refined sugar, evaporated cream in cans ready for shipment, flour, grain, and other products of the soil, the whole combining to make the most complete and comprehensive exhibit that was possible anywhere in California. There were potatoes; onions, tomatoes, celery, chili peppers, green corn, string beans, and a long line of other vegetables till you couldn't rest. At a subsequent visit to this city, when a site was being sought for the pathological laboratory now located at Whittier, and which it is believed Prof. Wickson desired to locate in this city, he said that Orange county had undoubtedly the widest range of soil products of any section of the country. By a reference to the files of this newspaper, it is learned that the farmers' institute referred to by the profes- It is the intention of the board of trade to invite the commission which will be appointed by Governor Johnson to select a site for the new citrus experiment station to be present, and it may yet develop that an especial invitation may be extended the governor for him also to be among the number. If the governor's duties at Sacramento are not such as to demand his presence at the State capital at that time, he will certainly be invited and urged to come, and elaborate preparations will be made to entertain him as well as members of the commission and other visiting gentlemen who may be present. It is expected that exhibits will be made not only from the farms and ranches of this vicinity, but from outlying sections, including Fullerton, Buena Park, Placentia, Olive, Villa Park, Los Alamitos, the peat lands and elsewhere. The board of trade intends that the institute shall be the greatest ever held in the State. On the recent visit here of Dr. Webber and Prof. Wickson they were shown the water resources and frostless character of this favored valley. When they come again to attend this institute, they will be shown a display of soil products that will adequately demonstrate the fact that nowhere else in California can such a display be equaled or surpassed. A number of the city's leading people have already signified willingness to entertain these visitors. Among them may be mentioned Mrs. Langenberger, J. D. Lavin, Secretary Ahlborn of the board of trade, J. W. Duckworth, J. B. Neff, Richard Melrose, John Hartung, Chas. Eygabroad, Homer G. Ames and a number of others. ANOTHER IMPORTANT BUSINESS CHANGE Chas. Federman Will Close Out Dry Goods and Start Exclusive Shoe Store Another important change in the business life of the community will be made shortly by the closing out of Chas. Federman's dry goods, fancy goods and gent's furnishings and replacing the present stock of goods with a full and complete line of ladies', misses' and gent's shoes. The new establishment will occupy only half of the present quarters, the other half being leased to W. H. Titchenal, of Santa Ana, who it is stated, will open a new and up-to-date confectionery company for the approval of V. U. Simpson, chairman of committee having the main presentation the petition with it a map of the park. The map was gone length, and A. A.

B. Neff, director of institutions for Southern California a three-day farmers' institute invite members of the Governor Johnson to be At a subsequent visit to this city, when a site was being sought for the pathological laboratory now located at Whittier, and which it is believed Prof. Wickson desired to locate in this city, he said that Orange county had undoubtedly the widest range of soil products of any section of the country. By a reference to the files of this newspaper, it is learned that the farmers' institute referred to by the professor was held 14 years ago. Another institute was held two years thereafter and since that time only one institute has assembled here. When Prof. Wickson again came to this city as a member of the commission appointed by Governor Pardee to select a site for the pathological laboratory, seven years had elapsed from the time of the first big meeting. At that time he made the statement of the wide range of products of the Orange county soil. Discussing the statements of this eminent gentleman relative to local products of the soil, a number of representative men of the city determined that another such meeting should be held the coming summer, with the single exception that it should be larger and grander than the one which has passed into history. Acting upon this suggestion the board of trade on Monday evening, invited Mr. Neff, conductor of farmers' institutes in Southern California, to hold such an institute here at such time convenient to him sometime during the coming summer. Mr. Neff said yesterday that he would be very glad to comply with the board of trade's request, his only condition being that sufficient local interest be taken to insure an adequate at- Shoe Store Another important change in the business life of the community will be made shortly by the closing out of Chas. Federman's dry goods, fancy goods and gent's furnishings and replacing the present stock of goods with a full and complete line of ladies', misses' and gent's shoes. The new establishment will occupy only half of the present quarters, the other half being leased to W. H. Titchenal, of Santa Ana, who, it is stated, will open a new and up-to-date confectionery store. As will be seen by Mr. Federman's advertisement on page eight of this issue, he is closing out his entire stock of dry goods and gent's furnishings and tomrrow starts the sensation of the year, a clearance sale in which prices will, so it is stated, be reduced to below cost. Sensational bargains will be the rule and it is expected that the entire stock will be closed out in a few weeks. See the advertisement for further particulars. The new store will have one of the most complete lines of shoes to be seen anywhere in the county and it is announced that anyone can be fitted out there with any kind of shoe to be had on the market. Mr. Federman has been long connected with the business life of this city and will no doubt make a success of his exclusive shoe store. The shipping of the new crop of cabbage from this part of the county has commenced. The market opened at $20 per ton and in view of a short crop good prices will be doubtless received by the growers during the entire season. To properly bring this notice of the commission be appointed to select a new Southern California institution station, it was duly J. B.

V. U. Simpson, chairman of the committee having the matter in charge, presented the petition for approval and with it a map of the proposed district. The map was gone over at some length, and A. A. Mills, who went over a large part of the boundary of the district explained the map. Hills and high places which are not subject to overflow from the river were left out of the district and only low lands which are liable to overflow from the river were included within the bound- mous consent a vote of thanks was extended the city trustees for their aid in the good cause. It is practically certain that a donation of $50 from a private firm for advertising purposes will be made and the funds available for advertising will be raised to $250. It is planned to get out a small booklet or pamphlet descriptive of this city and surrounding country and distribute the same to those seeking information about the city. Duckworth reported that he had gone with a committee from Fullerton and other northern Orange county cities to interview the Los Angeles county supervisors about the county good roads joining at Northam and had found the supervisors strongly in favor of the proposed connection and that the committee had received the assurance of Supervisor Manning of that district that he would use his best efforts to see that the connection be made. The good roads committee was left standing as it was thought there would be other work for it before long. The committee appointed to see Banker Zimmermann of Santa Ana about the county bankers taking up the matter of buying state road bonds, reported that Mr. Zimmermann had been so busy that they had not had an opportunity to interview him, but over the phone had received his assurance that he was working on the same proposition and could be counted on to do his best in the matter. As the next regular meeting of the county bank- BEEBE WINS MILE AND HALF-MILE INA.A.U.MEET WALKS AWAY FROM CHAMPION COLLEGE SPRINTERS IN LOS ANGELES SATURDAY LOCAL CINDER TRACK ARTIST WINS FAME AND RENOWN BY CLASSY WORK ON FIELD Waltzing around the mile track and finishing 40 yards ahead of any of his competitors in 4 minutes and 36 seconds, and later winning the half-mile run and finishing 15 yards ahead of his nearest competitor in the time of 2:01 4-5 is the record of Clarence Beebe of the Anaheim high school in Los Angeles on Saturday. The meet was held under auspices of the Amateur Athletic Union and contestants were entered from every high school and college of note in Southern California, there being seven entries in the mile and about five in the half mile. The first race to be pulled off in which the local track artist was entered was the mile. Beebe got started in fine form and stayed with the rest of the runners during the first three sented for the approval of the board. V. U. Simpson, chairman of the committee having the matter in charge, presented the petition for approval and with it a map of the proposed district. The map was gone over at some length, and A. A. Mills, who went over a large part of the boundary of the district explained the map. Hills and high places which are not subject to overflow from the river were left out of the district and only low lands which are liable to overflow from the river were included within the boundaries of the district. Roughly the line follows the northern bank of the river from a point in the Santa Ana canyon north of Olive to the Newbert protection district and thence down to near the ocean. The line extends along the base of the hills north of Fullerton and westerly to near Northam where it strikes the Los Angeles county line and follows this to within about four miles of Lake Ocean and turns in a southeasterly direction and joins the other boundary near Sunset Beach. The Bay City hills and the high ground near the Huntington Beach sugar factory are left out of the district and the boundary in no place reaches the ocean. The route of the line had been gone over by City Surveyor Steward and members of the board of trade and all disputed points verified. The work of the committee came in for much commendation for its thoroughness, and received the hearty approval of members of the board of trade present. Upon motion of Ahlborn, seconded by H. M. Adams, the petition was approved by the board of trade and the committee which has done the work of getting up the petition was empowered to secure signatures to it and present it to the board of supervisors at their meeting next week. Property owners present to the number of 12 signed the petition and gave it a good start. Only 10 signatures of property owners are required by law, but the committee desires to secure as many as possible to show the overwhelming sentiment of the people in this district for the formation of the district and V. U. Simpson, in whose hands the petition was placed, went to work immediately to get a hundred signatures of property owners from all parts of the district. To properly bring this section to the notice of the commission which will be appointed to select a site for the new Southern California citrus experiment station, it was decided to ask J. B. Neff, director of farmers' institutes for Southern California, to hold a three-day farmers' institute in this city during the coming summer and invite members of the commission and Governor Johnson to be present and The committee appointed to see Banker Zimmermann of Santa Ana about the county bankers taking up the matter of buying state road bonds, reported that Mr. Zimmermann had been so busy that they had not had an opportunity to interview him, but over the phone had received his assurance that he was working on the same proposition and could be counted on to do his best in the matter. As the next regular meeting of the county bankers' association will not be held for about two months, it was thought advisable to have a special meeting of the association called to take this matter up and bring the discussion to some definite point. The matter of calling a special meeting will be taken up at once and it is hoped the matter may then be definitely decided upon. State Highway Commissioner Darlington has said that he would be present and meet with the bankers if they wanted to ask him any questions and he will be asked to attend the special meeting. Interior bankers of the county say that they will back the proposition only if the money is used immediately and on the road as mapped out by the state highway commission, and not on the coast road. Mr. Darlington assured members of the board of trade recently that the money would be used immediately and only on the interior road, and as this road suited the majority of the people, no other route would be considered so long as he was commissioner. Arthur von Heydekampf, treasurer of the board of trade, tendered his resignation, on account of his contemplated departure to Los Angeles, and F. C. Krause was elected to the office. The treasurer's books show a balance of $238.74 in the board's treasury. Mr. von Heydekampf was tendered a vote of thanks for his efficient work as treasurer. NEW FIRM PURCHASES OLD-ESTABLISHED STORE F. L. Ramharter and A. E. Griggs Take Over Stoffel's Establishment A notable change in the old-established grocery of P. Stoffel will occur on Monday when F. L. Ramharter, a recent arrival here from North Dakota, and A. E. Griggs, until recently an orange grower on the eastside, where he was successful in growing a fine brand of frostless fruit, will become there would be other work for it before long. The committee appointed to see Banker Zimmermann of Santa Ana about the county bankers taking up the matter of buying state road bonds, reported that Mr. Zimmermann had been so busy that they had not had an opportunity to interview him, but over the phone had received his assurance that he was working on the same proposition and could be counted on to do his best in the matter.

Trojans of the University of Southern California won first place for that school and the second place was won by Pomona college, Anaheim high coming in next and winning for the local school much attention all over Southern California. It is stated that To properly bring this section to the notice of the commission which will be appointed to select a site for the new Southern California citrus experiment station, it was decided to ask J. B. Neff, director of farmers' institutes for Southern California, to hold a three-day farmers' institute in this city during the coming summer and invite members of the commission and Governor Johnson to be present, and inspect the varied products of this community. As planned, the institute will last probably three days, and will be one of the largest ever held in the state. A display of products of the soil equaled by none will be made and the fertile soil and matchless climate will be shown to their best advantage. An institute of this sort has not been held here for many years and in view of that fact, it is expected the attendance will be the largest of any ever held in this section of the country. As stated in another column, Mr. Neff has accepted the invitation and signified his willingness to undertake the work. H. M. Adams, chairman of the public improvement committee, reported that members of the board of trade had taken the citrus experts for a ride about the country on their recent visit here, and showed them the advantages of this section as a site for the new citrus experiment station. Chairman Duckworth of the advertising committee, reported that he had appeared before the city trustees at their last meeting as directed by the board of trade to ask for an appropriation for promoting the advertising of the city, and that $200 had been donated by the city dads. By unani- F. L. Ramharter and A. E. Griggs Take Over Stoffel's Establishment A notable change in the old-established grocery of P. Stoffel will occur on Monday when F. L. Ramharter, a recent arrival here from North Dakota, and A. E. Griggs, until recently an orange grower on the eastside, where he was successful in growing a fine brand of frostless fruit, will become the new proprietors of the establishment. The deal was negotiated this week, and Mr Stoffel is now engaged in stock taking preparatory to turning the business over to the new firm. Mr. Ramharter is a groceryman of experience and has owned a store in Oakes, North Dakota, for several years. This will be disposed of shortly and Mr. Ramharter will devote his entire attention to his new store in this city. He is a young man of business integrity and will prove a notable addition to the business life of the city. Mr. Griggs is well known about town, having lived on the eastside for some time, and having now disposed of his ranch there, will move into the city and make his home here. Mr. Stoffel will give up active business life for a time and will engage in agricultural pursuits on his fine ranch in the Garden Grove section. The present force of employees of the grocery will probably continue with the new firm. Messrs. Ramharter and Griggs believe in building up the town by keeping the best stock of goods on hand and will add their efforts to those of present members of the city's business circle to make the stores of Anaheim the best-stocked of any in the county. His exceptional work on Saturday won for the Anaheim high school third place in the meet, beating Occidental college, and the high schools of Los Angeles, which it was thought would turn out some good athletes. The Trojans of the University of Southern California won first place for that school and the second place was won by Pomona college, Anaheim high coming in next and winning for the local school much attention all over Southern California. It is stated that the Anaheim school had no score board at the beginning of the meet, for those in charge thought there would be no need for one. After the winning of the mile run, a score board was put up for the local school, and wishing to fill the board, Beebe did his exceptional sprinting stunt. Beebe has made the mile in 4:33 but was so far ahead of his competitors in this run Saturday that he slowed down, saving himself for his later race and did not make his best time. Tipton, who was his closest rival for half-mile honors, is also an Anaheim man and would have won this event had it not been for Beebe coming in for this honor. They are both good runners and local people may well be proud of them. Harold Douglas of this city was also entered in the 100-yard-dash and the 440-sprint, but was not allowed to compete in the finals. The Anaheim high school has defeated the champions of Los Angeles high in track, next it will defeat their Los Angeles adversaries in debate. This latter stunt will be pulled off in Los Angeles March 28, and will be the third of the Southern California league contests of the year to be entered into by the local school.

Hansen, familiarly known as No-Pay Hansen, departed for the East last week, leaving numerous mourning creditors behind him. Hansen, it is said, has trekked back to Iowa, whence he came to this city several years ago. Money for his expenses eastward, is said by Marshal Kellenberger, to have been telegraphed him at Los Angeles. The amount is said to have been $150. It was not forwarded to any local bank, for the reason, probably, that Hansen was afraid it might be seized by men whom he was owing money. Hansen came to Anaheim three years ago, and obtained employment at good wages. He later blossomed out in business for himself, and for a time seemed to be doing well. His fondness for his morning's morning and his delicate touch subscribed. NATIONAL ROAD COME THROUGH THIS CITY MAP JUST ISSUED SHOWS 50,000 MILES OF ROAD THROUGHOUT THE UNITED STATES ROUTE FROM COLORADO RIVER TO SAN DIEGO, NORTH ON LINE OF STATE HIGHWAY It is a question which is slowly but surely forcing itself upon the National Legislature. Many Senators and Representatives now believe that the building of a system of National highways is of more economic importance than any other public work—more vital than the question of a large navy, more useful than any river and harbor improvement, more necessary than the Panama Canal. For highways are built and owned by the people and are free to all the people. A few years ago road bills had short shift in Congress—at present there are nearly a hundred bills before Congress dealing with road building in one form or another.

The amount is said to have been $150. It was not forwarded to any local bank, for the reason, probably, that Hansen was afraid it might be seized by men whom he was owing money. Hansen came to Anaheim three years ago, and obtained employment at good wages. He later blossomed out in business for himself, and for a time seemed to be doing well. His fondness for his morning's morning, and his delicate touch whereby he was enabled to borrow money from men who trusted him, soon brought him gobs of distress. He is also said to have given some attention to the phoney check business, which being drawn on outside banks and being returned here dishonored, he was enabled after the lapse of several days to make good. His place was attached by Marshal Kellenberger some weeks ago for $125. This amount was met, so Kellenberger states, by a note signed by three local business men whom Hansen promised to square by making suits of clothing for them. Whether these gentlemen secured their apparel was not learned up to the hour of going to press. Owing to Hansen's inattention to business, his landlord leased his storeroom to other parties, giving Hansen, so it is said, six days to evict himself. Finding himself at the end of his rope, Hansen went quietly to Los Angeles, where he is supposed to have secured money telegraphed him, and beat it back to the blizzard belt. One of Hansen's many peculiarities was feigned wrathfulness at being presented with a bill. He objected to having a bill "poked under his nose," as he put it, the first of every month, saying he preferred to settle his accounts at intervals of many, many months. Those who trusted him, taking him at his word, now see the smoke of battle far, far away. Hansen was followed here by bills from mourning creditors whom he left in Iowa when he pulled up stakes for California. These accounts were forwarded to a local bill collector and Hansen was compelled to meet them in installments. It is probable his creditors here will combine their accounts and obtain a judgment against him. ANAHEIM-OLINDA GAME POSTPONED Second of Match Games Will Be Held at Olinda Next Sunday ways is of more economic importance than any other public work—more vital than the question of a large navy, more useful than any river and harbor improvement, more necessary than the Panama Canal. For highways are built and owned by the people and are free to all the people. A few years ago road bills had short shift in Congress—at present there are nearly a hundred bills before Congress dealing with road building in one form or another. Although the "good roads" idea has been gathering force and headway for many years, its advocates are still pulling in many directions. Some road associations want state highways with National aid. Others want state highways without National aid. Still others want good roads paid for by the counties through which they pass, without any aid. One, at least, believes firmly that the question is not only one for states, counties, cities and towns, but for the Nation. The National Highways Association believes that the beginning of a comprehensive good road system for the Nation must be made by the Federal Government. Such a system as outlined on the map recently issued by the National Highways Association, which shows the road coming to San Diego from the east through Arizona, New Mexico and Texas. This road continues north through this city to Los Angeles, along the route of the state highway. The map embraces 50,000 miles of National highways. It is not intended that this map should represent the entire good road system needed by the United States. It is merely a tentative suggestion of the National system of National highways, from which good roads built by states, by counties, and by cities and towns, would grow and multiply. It is universal experience that one mile of good road breeds another mile. Put a state-wide, good road down anywhere in this country, and in ten years there will be dozens of good roads reaching it from all parts of the state. Put down a system of National highways, built and maintained by the National Government, and the various State Legislatures and county officials would soon see the advantages of connecting all parts of the states with those National roads. There are two million miles of roads in the United States. The 50,000 miles of highway shown on the map is but a fraction over 2 per cent of this mileage. But improve these 50,000 miles into good roads, and keep them good roads by proper maintenance, and 50,000 miles more would grow almost ANAHEIM-OLINDA GAME POSTPONED Second of Match Games Will Be Held at Olinda Next Sunday The game between the Olinda Stars and the crack Anaheim baseball team which was to have been held at Olinda last Sunday, was postponed on account of the rain and will be played at that place next Sunday. This game is the second of a series of three which it has been arranged will be played between the two teams for the Orange county championship. The first game, played on the Anaheim diamond a week ago Sunday, was won by the Olinda team after a hard-fought game by the score of 3 to 0. If Anaheim wins the game Sunday, a third and deciding game will be played on a neutral diamond and the winning of this will decide the Orange county championship. It is announced that James Toman, former famous Pacific Coast league short stop, and now one of the best umpires in the west, will officiate at the game Sunday, as he did at the game last week. Admission will be 25 cents, ladies free. Game will be called at 2:30 sharp. Following is line-up: Olinda Position Anaheim Etchandy P Heindricks F. Callan C Gerken Isbell 1 B Meats Brown 2 B Fisher J.

The 50,000 miles of highway shown on the map is but a fraction over 2 per cent of this mileage. But improve these 50,000 miles into good roads, and keep them good roads by proper maintenance, and 50,000 miles more would grow almost over night, and then another 50,000 and another and another, until our great country, with its huge territory, would be crossed and recrossed with good roads, as France is today. France has National highways. These are immense trunk line roads, great arteries of commerce, and from these the smaller roads are built by the provinces of France, just as the states and counties of our states will build feeders and connections to a National system of highways.
