AHLBORN FILES HIS ANNUAL REPORT GIVES A SKETCH OF BUSINESS TRANSACTED BY BOARD OF TRADE DURING YEAR A. A. MILLS ALSO REPORTS ON WRESTLE WITH THE RAIL-ROAD COMMISSION The annual report of J. Frederick Ahlborn, secretary of the Board of Trade, which was submitted to that body at the meeting Monday night is an interesting document as it covers the entire work of the board during the past year. Mr. Ahlborn in it recounts the successes and failures of that body during the past 12 months and makes a few valuable suggestions as to future work. Following is the complete report: To the President, the Board of Directors, and the Members of the Anaheim Board of Trade. Gentlemen: The year of 1913 will long be remembered by the members of the Anaheim Board of Trade as the year of the "big freeze." Although the frost was very severe in some sections of Southern California and almost disastrous to others, Anaheim, "The Old Mother Colony," demonstrated the fact that it is located in a frostless belt especially active in furthering the early construction of the state highway through Orange county by advocating the purchasing of state highway bonds by Orange county bankers. Building activity has been especially good in Anaheim during 1913. Many dwellings and two large business blocks were erected. The matter of securing artistic lighting posts for the business section is now practically assured. Eight blocks are going to be thus lighted. This will make Anaheim the first city in Orange county to adopt this system. The duties of the secretary are becoming so manifold and the work of the Board of Trade so extensive, that I suggest the employment of a competent secretary, who can give all his time to this work. The Board of City Trustees have been assisting the Board of Trade in every possible way. However the importance of the work of the Board of Trade is not yet realized either by its members nor by the people at large. The attendance at our meetings has many times been small. Our membership is now 88. Average attendance at our meeting about 15. Our exhibits have been badly neglected in the past. Through the kindness of Mr. Gresswell the exhibits have been greatly renovated and improved. Paving has been completed on North and South Los Angeles streets and we are now connected with the state highway at either end of our city. Lemon street is about to be paved from city limits to city limits and the activity in this line of improvement seems to have only just begun. The year of 1914 holds great promises for our Board of Trade and our city. Respectfully submitted, J. FREDERICK AHLBORN, Secretary. To the President, the Board of Directors, and the Members of the Anaheim Board of Trade. Gentlemen: The year of 1913 will long be remembered by the members of the Anaheim Board of Trade as the year of the "big freeze." Although the frost was very severe in some sections of Southern California and almost disastrous to others, Anaheim, "The Old Mother Colony," demonstrated the fact that it is located in a frostless belt beyond any doubt. Anaheim oranges commanded the highest market price. One grower secured the sum of $3,851.91 from 125 trees net, a figure never before realized by orange growers. An effort to locate the 200-acre experiment farm about to be purchased by the state is now on foot and Anaheim on account of its climate, abundance of water and productive soil will make a strong bid for it. The matter of river protection which was attempted at the beginning of the year had to be abandoned on account of the strong opposition developed. The building of the Olive bridge is still in abeyance on account of this river protection. An effort is now being made to raise a sufficient amount of money in order to secure such protection as it is necessary to protect the approaches to the proposed concrete bridge at Olive. The sum of $1,250 has been secured so far. To have a 600-foot river channel established, was turned down by the Board of Supervisors. A bridge plan has now been selected by the Board of Supervisors and if a sufficient sum of money is raised to build adequate protection for the approaches, we are informed, the Olive bridge will be built at an early date. The City of Anaheim donated the sum of $200 toward securing new booklets descriptive of Anaheim; 5,000 of these booklets were printed. These booklets were distributed partly through the secretary's office, through the Los Angeles Chamber of Commerce and the Orange county booth at the Christian Endeavor convention in Los Angeles and the Train Dispatchers' convention; four boxes of oranges were also presented to the Train Dispatchers of America. These were distributed among them together with the booklets while they were en route on their homeward journey. The hotel proposition of Mr. Anderson of Colton, asking for a $15,000 bonus if he would erect a first-class tourist and commercial hotel in Anaheim was declined. An effort to erect an ice plant in Anaheim failed, although there seems to be a good opening for one. It is hoped that this year the ice plant will be added to the other industries of our city. The California Cycle Company and Imperial Cotton Works and other propositions failed to materialize. Many propositions were put before the Anaheim Board of Trade, such as the Cactus nursery, Vending Machine factory and others too numerous to mention. One of the main reasons why Anaheim does not secure more manufacturing plants is the freight rate of 11 cents extra from Los Angeles, whereas if it would be possible to secure a terminal rate, we would then be on an equal basis with Receipts Cash on hand Jan. 1, 1913...$ 6.79 Collected from members...424.00 Annual banquet...81.00 City of Anaheim (booklets)...200.00 Flood and tornado relief fund...315.94 Pub. fund (J.

He has labored on the board for 12 years, three of them being in the secretary's office, and he stated that business interests and the fact that it should be passed on to others impelled him to decline another year's service. The resignation was accepted and a vote of thanks fr his past services unanimously adopted. A resolution commending him for his services will also be drawn up and presented at the annual banquet Thursday night. Charles F. Grim who, at the annual election January 5, was elected president, also declined to serve. He sent a letter stating that his precarious health would not permit him to attend the meetings regularly and he thought the board should elect a man who could give more attention to its affairs than he could. His declination was also accepted regretfully and a committee of three was appointed to select men to fill the vacancies and report at the annual banquet tonight. Chairman Mills appointed F.C.Krause, H.M.Adams and C.L.Swope on the committee. The matter of an ice plant was discussed at considerable length and several members made short talks on the subject.

He has not yet met money, and may have lecting it from the court who knew the Los Angels were aware of his present little dreamed: that he was official capacity to make into "illegal registrations" of our citizens. It seems that such was the case, for January 3 filed a bill agitating in the amount of $44 services and expenses in many investigations in the major registrations in Anaheim trust attorney of Oral Browne's demand had that District Attorney Wand was allowed by the pervisions January 6, butter refused to issue a waiverferred the matter back visitors, and a committee Supervisor Leck and A was appointed to investigate its demand, and meeting of the supervisor 20.

One of the main reasons why Anaheim does not secure more manufacturing plants is the freight rate of 11 cents extra from Los Angeles, whereas if it would be possible to secure a terminal rate, we would then be on an equal basis with Los Angeles. Our ad in the Western Empire is bringing us many inquiries and one of the best ways of drawing the attention of the tourist and homeseeker. Still I would advise to try one or two ads with the advertising agencies who offer club rates and thus we can secure cheap rates and appear in hundreds of newspapers and magazines throughout the East at a very low cost. The American Rug & Loom Factory established in Anaheim. The Moving Picture Film Manufacturing Company failed to take advantage of our offer of a tree site. Two hundred dollars were pledged toward securing a suitable site for the rug factory. The matter of securing a kindergarten as a branch of our public school system failed on the grounds of lack of funds for this purpose. The matter of securing a public park was referred to the Board of Trade by the city trustees. A site on West Center was recommended for a park and also a suitable city hall. The board of trustees did not see its way clear to act favorably upon this recommendation. However proper steps have been taken to secure for Anaheim a park in the near future. The Board of Trade joined the Chamber of Commerce of the United States of America and thus be in touch daily with the doings in congress, especially with matters pertaining to this particular locality. The Southern Pacific has been asked for better train service with the result of securing one extra train in the morning and one in the afternoon. The Anaheim Board of Trade was His declination was also accepted regretfully and a committee of three was appointed to select men to fill the vacancies and report at the annual banquet tonight. Chairman Mills appointed F. C. Krause, H. M. Adams and C. L. Swope on the committee. The matter of an ice plant was discussed at considerable length and several members made short talks on the subject. W. E. Duckworth, who is a dealer in ice, thought that it would require at least $25,000 to construct a plant suitable for the needs of the town, and others were of the same opinion. Herman Stern, chairman of the committee appointed to raise funds, reported that more than $9,000 had already been secured with very little effort on the part of the committee. He thought there would be no trouble in getting the money required to erect a factory large enough for the needs of the town. The Los Angeles firm which J. H. Van Alen represented, it was announced, would take $5,000 worth of the stock. This would make the capital already guaranteed practically $15,000, which insured the establishment of the enterprise. A. A. Mills who appeared before the railroad commission in an effort to secure better facilities for Anaheim, made a report of his wrestle with that body. The report which reads as follows, explains itself: Anaheim, Jan. 12, 1914. In the matter of railroad applications Nos. 853 and 854, before the railroad commission, your representative presented the matter as per instructions, on January 10, 1914. The commission allowed us to intervene so not only to protest the applications, but to ask for a change of the 80-cent round-trip Sunday rate to an 80-cent round-trip Tuesday rate. The railroad attorneys said that there were two classes of people at Anaheim. One class was the merchants and these wanted to fence the letter stating that his precarious health would not permit him to attend the meetings regularly and he thought the board should elect a man who could give more attention to its affairs than he could.

JANUARY 15, 1914 BROWNE’S DIVE INTO COUNTY TREASURY MAKES DEMAND FOR $447.75 FOR SERVICES IN RECENT WET AND DRY CAMPAIGN SUPERVISORS ALLOW BILL, PAYMENT WITH HELD BY AUDITOR, COMMITTEE TO INVESTIGATE Detective Sam L. Browne, of Los Angeles, who was seen frequently in town before and after the wet and dry election on November 6, has given the taxpayers of this county his reasons for being in this city at that time. Browne was here from September 20 to December 27, and has asked the county to pay him $447.75 for services rendered. He has not yet received his money, and may have trouble in collecting it from the county. People who knew the Los Angeles detective were aware of his presence, but they little dreamed that he was here in his official capacity to make investigations into "illegal registrations" on the part of our citizens. It seems, however, that such was the case, for Browne on January 3 filed a bill against the county in the amount of $447.75, for "services and expenses in making criminal investigations in the matter of illegal registrations in Anaheim for the district attorney of Orange county." POSTOFFICE BUILDING TO BE ENLARGED Twenty or Thirty Feet Will Be Added In Rear Shortly Increasing business has made it necessary to extend the room occupied by the Anaheim post office and H. A. Dickel, owner of the building, will shortly begin the construction of a 20 or 30-foot extension on the rear. This will give more table room and will relieve the present congested condition of the present quarters. Postmaster Duckworth announces that another city carrier will probably be added to the force in the near future which will make it necessary to re-arrange the routes as at present arranged. Also that the Golden State tract will shortly be added to the rural delivery, and some changes will be made in the present system to make conform to the new territorial acquisition. It probably will not be necessary to add a new rural route to the present force, but some transfers and changes of routes will have to be made. When the addition is built the postoffice room will be 110 or possibly 120 feet in length, giving the large force of employes a little more space, although it will be none too large. Anaheim’s postoffice is continually expanding. ALL VOTERS MUST REGISTER FOR ELECTION CHANGE IN LAW NECESSITATES RE-REGISTRATION FOR APRIL CONTEST MARCH 14 LAST DAY UPON WHICH TO REGISTER, OLD REGISTER VOID APRIL 1 All voters in Anaheim and Fullerton, as well as those of other municipalities in California, holding elections next April, must re-register before March 14th in order to cast their ballots at the April election. Under the new law enacted by the last legislature, the great register now in existence holds good only to the first of April, and will be cancelled on that day. It is not necessary for voters to re-register for the bond election occurring January 27, and the old register will be used at this election. For the municipal election occurring April 13, which from all indications promises to develop into a spirited contest, all voters must re-register before March 14, or they will lose their votes. Hitherto it has not been necessary to re-register for the spring election, the old register being used. Now, however, this is changed, and unless voters re-register before March 14 they will not be entitled to vote at the city election.

People who knew the Los Angeles detective were aware of his presence, but they little dreamed that he was here in his official capacity to make investigations into "illegal registrations" on the part of our citizens. It seems, however, that such was the case, for Browne on January 3 filed a bill against the county in the amount of $447.75, for "services and expenses in making criminal investigations in the matter of illegal registrations in Anaheim for the district attorney of Orange county," Browne's demand had the official O.K. of District Attorney West. The demand was allowed by the Board of Supervisors January 6, but Auditor Lester refused to issue a warrant. He referred the matter back to the supervisors, and a committee consisting of Supervisor Leck and Auditor Lester was appointed to investigate the legality of the demand, and to report to a meeting of the supervisors on January 20. Browne, it seems, was employed by the district attorney to conduct these "criminal investigations" at the behest of the drys. His salary was fixed at $6 per day, and he began his "criminal investigations" September 20. He continued these investigations until December 27, while the election was held November 6. His salary bill amounts to $324 and his "expense account foots up to $123.75. Included in this amount are three items of $10 each for automobile hire. When information of Browne's demand against the county reached this city some days ago, great indignation was felt concerning it among many citizens, and it is said a concerted effort will be made to see that no money can be collected for this exorbitant bill. Following is the itemized statement as presented to the county by Mr. Browne: Salary. Expense.

Phil was combing the town in search of the Mexican who stabbed a fellow countryman a few hours previously in the rear of the BelmontWhen he neared the Crespin lunch room some one remarked "Here comes the sheriff."On hearing this Revera darted out the door and disappeared.Germann followed and in a few minutes met him face to face in the rear of the Graham Furniture store.The Mexican instantly reached for his gun but the hammer caught in the holster, delaying action for a secondThis was all that saved Phil from instant death or at least the fate that befell Marshal Kellenberger a year ago。他 grabbed the gun before it could be discharged, wrenched it from his hand, knocked him down with it and then dragged him to the street and handcuffed his arms around a telephone pole。他 was still there when he returned with a vehicle a few moments later. Deputy District Attorney Koepsel conducted the case for the state,and after hearing the evidence Judge Howard bound Revira over to the superior court in the sum of $1,000.As he was unable to provide bail he was taken to the county jail.Whether or not he was the man who stabbed the other Mexican is not clear,but he was exceedingly anxious to shun the society of an officer. FELL IN MUDHOLE SEVERELY INJURED Judge Shanley More Enthusiastic Than Ever About Paving Judge Shanley has been walking with a cane for some days past,having fallen into a mudhole on South Lemon street while returning to his home one night during the recent rains.The judge knows every bog and quagmire on South Lemon street,having had intimate association with a number of FEARED FOR SAFETY OF HIS BROTHER Sam Kraemer on Point of Telegraphing State Department at Washington,Hears From Him Sam Kraemer, while in town one day last week expressed anxiety relative to the safety of his brother Jonathan,who owns a large cattle ranch in Du FELL IN MOONHOLE SEVERELY INJURED Judge Shanley has been walking with a cane for some days past, having fallen into a mudhole on South Lemon street while returning to his home one night during the recent rains. The judge knows every bog and quagmire on South Lemon street, having had intimate association with a number of them in times past in the rain. He sustained severe injuries to the leg, and on arriving at his home was seized with a fainting spell. He is more than ever enthusiastic about paving the street, and hopes to see this improvement carried into effect in the near future. Some weeks ago, while up town in the evening, when rain began falling heavily, he paid a man a dollar to go to his home and fetch his rubber boots and raincoat. At another time he hired a buggy to drive home, as rain fell heavily and flooded the street. On arriving at his residence he found that Mrs. Shanley, who had been calling on a sick friend, had herself fallen into one of the numerous depressions in the street. The judge expects to see the street properly lighted and paved, when he will not be in fear of sustaining further injuries on returning home on the street which for a long time has been in a deplorable condition. "Why don't you sue the city for damages?" inquired a friend living on one of the city's well-lighted and excellently paved thoroughfares. "Not on your life," replied the judge. "As long as they stand for progress and for paving Lemon street, there will be nothing doing in the line of a suit for damages from me." The judge hobbled along with his cane saying he would rather be in jail in this city than to live in the finest mansion in Pittsburg. He leans to the opinion that Lemon street will soon be paved and well lighted, and will then blossom out and in a silk hat and patent leather shoes. Bully for the judge. Sam Kraemer on Point of Telegraphing State Department at Washington, Hears From Him Sam Kraemer, while in town one day last week expressed anxiety relative to the safety of his brother Jonathan, who owns a large cattle ranch in Durango. He said he had not heard from him for eight months, and the last letter appeared to have terminated so suddenly that he was apprehensive lest his brother had met with foul play. He was upon the point of telegraphing the State Department at Washington when a letter reached him this week from his brother who had come out from Mexico and was staying temporarily in Lawrence, Kansas. Mr. Kraemer visited his brother in Durango three years ago, and at that time urged him to leave the country. During the past two or three years bandits have driven off thousands of head of cattle and sheep from the ranch, and the life of the owner was at times threatened. While in the city of Durango a year ago Jonathan found himself in the midst of a hair-raising battle in the streets between Mexican factions. He made his escape in safety and returned to his ranch, only to be called upon some days later for another bunch of cattle. In the fight many were killed and their bodies lay promiscuously upon the streets. It is not known whether Mr. Kraemer will come to California to visit relatives before returning to Durango. His losses on account of the revolution aggregate a very large amount. The annual banquet of the Anaheim Board of Trade will be held at the Y. M. C. A. auditorium tonight. The meal ticket committee has been persistently active and a large attendance is expected.

EVENING SCHOOL BEING CONSIDERED Meeting at High School Building Monday to Consider Organization A meeting will be held at 7:30 o'clock on Monday, January 19, at the high school building to consider the organization of an evening school. Dr. Hauck, principal, urges that everyone who is interested in the formation of such a school be present and to extend this invitation to others. The formation of the classes will depend upon the interest shown at this meeting. The plan contemplates the organization of work in any line that may be asked for by the adult population of the city, without reference to previous schooling. The school will not be open to students of the high and grammar schools. Among the subjects that may be offered are bookkeeping, Spanish, commercial law, business English, practical arithmetic, civil government, English literature, cooking and penmanship. Those speaking foreign languages and wishing to learn English will have special classes formed for them. There will be no charge for tuition. Kindly give this notice as much publicity as possible so that the true sentiment and requirements of the community may be determined at the meeting on Monday. The principal will be glad to answer all inquiries concerning the work and to receive any suggestions that will make the school more useful and better adapted to the needs of the people. ICE FACTORY IS IN SIGHT FOR ANAHEIM BOARD OF TRADE FATHERED THE PROPOSITION AT SPECIAL MEETING THURSDAY NIGHT $10,000 CAPITAL REQUIRED FOR PLANT AND $3,000 RAISED THE FIRST EVENING Several months ago a proposition was presented to the Board of Trade for the establishment of an ice factory in Anaheim which would be large enough to supply demands made by neighboring towns. The matter, like many others considered by that body, was not pressed for lack of support, and the subject was dropped. But it has cropped up again from another direction and there is every indication that the plant will soon be added to the industries of Anaheim within a short time. A special meeting of the Board of Trade was called last Thursday evening for the purpose of considering the establishment of the Hydraulic Truck factory which was being promoted by Messrs. Brizzolari, Barnes and Innes. These gentlemen, whom, it has been reported, were merely flirting with Anaheim for the purpose of making Colton jealous, failed to appear at the meeting. Mr. Brizzolari stated as his ANAHEIM. HIGH IN TWO DEBATES Fullerton and Huntington Beach Both Meet Local Orators Next Friday night Anaheim is to have two debates, one at Anaheim against Fullerton, and the other at Huntington Beach against Huntington Beach. This debate is the first of its kind to be held in Orange county and is largely an experiment. The desire of the Orange County Debating League is to encourage extemporaneous speaking and at the beginning of the year it was thought that a new system of debating would carry out this object more thoroughly. The plan adopted was similar, to the method of debating in use among some of the colleges. At the beginning of the year a general question is chosen. Twenty-four hours before the debate a specific subject which falls under the general topic is given to the debaters and 30 minutes before the opening of the debate the side of the question on which they are to speak is determined by lot for this year's debating. The subject chosen was Mexico. All of the debates in the county occur on the same night and each school has two debates. Orange has withdrawn so that the debates on Friday night will be as follows: Fullerton vs. Anaheim at Anaheim, Anaheim vs. Huntington Beach at Huntington Beach, Huntington Beach vs. Santa Ana at Santa Ana, and Santa Ana vs. Fullerton at Fullerton. A new method of selecting judges was also instituted. The visiting school sends to the home school a list of names from which the home school picks out two people to serve as judges. The home school in turn sends the visiting school a list from which they select one. The home school invites the judges: John Spencer and Fred Owen are to meet Fullerton at Anaheim and Charlie Brisco and Edmund Bradley are to debate against Huntington Beach at Huntington Beach. With such bright lights in the debating firmament both debates are sure to be interesting. The student body has not the slightest doubt but when the debate is over we will have a claim to the cup which we secured last year. The subject is a live one and should interest everybody for living as close as we do to Mexico, we are anxious for the welfare of our quarrelsome brothers to the south of us. The school is eager to show that it has debaters this year as well as publicity as possible so that the true sentiment and requirements of the community may be determined at the meeting on Monday. The principal will be glad to answer all inquiries concerning the work and to receive any suggestions that will make the school more useful and better adapted to the needs of the people. ANAHEIM. HIGH IN TWO DEBATES A special meeting of the Board of Trade was called last Thursday evening for the purpose of considering the establishment of the Hydraulic Truck factory which was being promoted by Messrs. Brizzolari, Barnes and Innes. These gentlemen, whom, it has been reported, were merely flirting with Anaheim for the purpose of making Colton jealous, failed to appear at the meeting. Mr. Brizzolari stated as his reason for refusing further negotiation, that he saw no hope of establishing the truck factory here as the company could not exceed to the demands of the board. The question of an ice plant was again taken up and discussed at this meeting. J. H. Van Alen, of Los Angeles, was in the city several days endeavoring to interest capitalists in the enterprise. He represents the National Bonding Company of Los Angeles, and after looking over the field thought this was an ideal town for a factory as Anaheim undoubtedly consumes large quantities of ice during the entire year and is within easy reach of neighboring points. Mr. Van Alen stated that $20,000 would be ample capital and that $10,000 was all that was required from the citizens of Anaheim, his company putting up the other half. When the matter was discussed at the meeting Thursday night the proposition was sprung that Anaheim could finance and control its own ice factory. That the plant is needed and would be a valuable acquisition to the city was the unanimous decision of the members present, but it was the opinion of all that it should be an Anaheim institution controlled by Anaheim people. Charles Eygabroad made a speech favoring the proposition but advocated an Anaheim plant controlled by Anaheim capital, and was opposed to outside men having charge of it. His idea was endorsed by other members. It was the opinion of all that $10,000 or $15,000 was sufficient capital to build a factory commensurate with the needs of Anaheim, and Herman Stern was appointed head of a committee to raise that sum. The other members are A. A. Mills and F. W. Fleischmann. Chairman Stern announced before adjournment of the meeting that he had already booked $3,000 and believed there would be no difficulty in securing the balance. The plant will be 15-ton capacity which, it is deemed, will be ample for present needs, but it can be enlarged if occasion demands it. Ice can be manufactured in Anaheim as cheaply as anywhere else and the building of the factory will mean a considerable saving to the several large consumers in the town who, in addition to the cost of manufacture, have been paying heavy freight bills. At the Board of Trade meeting Monday night, supplementary to his first statement, Mr. Stern announced that he had already secured subscriptions for more than $9,000 of the stock and had not the least doubt that the entire amount would be speedily subscribed. That it will be a profitable enterprise no person can question as John Spencer and Fred Owen are to meet Fullerton at Anaheim and Charlie Brisco and Edmund Bradley are to debate against Huntington Beach at Huntington Beach. With such bright lights in the debating firmament both debates are sure to be interesting. The student body has not the slightest doubt but when the debate is over we will have a claim to the cup which we secured last year. The subject is a live one and should interest everybody for living as close as we do to Mexico, we are anxious for the welfare of our quarrelsome brothers to the south of us. The school is eager to show that it has debaters this year as well as last year. Those who have heard the debaters speak declare that the debators know their subejets thoroughly. No one should miss this debate and the 10 cents admission will bring many times that amount in information. Miss Emma Frahm entertained a number of her friends Christmas eve, the occasion being her birthday. The home was beautifully decorated in holly wreathes and poinsettas with a spray of mistletoe tucked in one corner. The following were the guests: Mr. B. Law, L. McGavren, H. Melcher, H. Fischer, C. Goetz, H. Frahm, and Misses Lill Fischer, Elsie Hinz, Agnes Thomas, Emma, Ella and Mae Frahm and Rose Stephon. The guests first attended the church sermon, after which a splendid supper was served. The table being decorated in green and red with a Christmas tree in the center with a candle for each guest. After supper when everything was quiet Santa came down the chimney with lots of presents for each guest. Miss Frahm received many beautiful and useful birthday presents. The evening was spent in singing and playing games. The party broke up at a late hour, all reporting a splendid time and hoping they receive an invitation to Miss Frahm’s next birthday. J. W. Walls has returned from Imperial and will remain here permanently. He still has that smile which never wears off. Ice can be manufactured in Anaheim as cheaply as anywhere else and the building of the factory will mean a considerable saving to the several large consumers in the town who, in addition to the cost of manufacture, have been paying heavy freight bills. At the Board of Trade meeting Monday night, supplementary to his first statement, Mr. Stern announced that he had already secured subscriptions for more than $9,000 of the stock and had not the least doubt that the entire amount would be speedily subscribed. That it will be a profitable enterprise no person can question as ice is a staple commodity, used by everybody and always sold at a profit. Seeing the trend of sentiment Mr. Van Alen stated to the committee that the company he represented did not desire a controlling interest in the concern. It had money to invest in ice plants because they were profitable and would take a small block of stock if a large one was not to be secured. In any event it proposed to leave the management to local men and be content with the dividends. It was decided to accept a $5,000 subscription from the company which will assist in getting the plant under speedy action. Bert Simpson returned to Long Beach yesterday after spending a couple of days in town, driving up to attend a meeting of directors of Anaheim National Bank, which elected new officers. He took with him a fine collection of oranges, lemons, grape fruit, persimmons and other products for display in the show window of his real estate office at the beach. The fruit will undoubtedly be regarded with open-eyed astonishment by the beachers, who probably never saw anything like it before. George S. Treher and Arthur Staley, auditing committee of the Anaheim Union Water Company, are at work upon the books and documents in Secretary Wallop’s office. They will submit their report to the annual meeting of the stockholders on January 31.
