GOOD THINGS IN STORE FOR THIS CITY
BOARD OF TRADE HOLD SESSION AND TAKE OPTIMISTIC VIEW OF COMING EVENTS
NEW OFFICERS TAKE REINS OF GOVERNMENT OF CIVIC BODY FOR COMING YEAR
At the meeting of the Anaheim Board of Trade Monday evening the affairs of the organization were turned over to the new officers for the ensuing year. On retiring as President, J. W. Duckworth briefly reviewed the good work accomplished by the board of trade and counselled the co-operation of members in all matters looking to the upbuilding of the city. He thanked the committees for labors performed the past year, and was firm in his belief that the new year had great things in store for this profile valley. He turned the reins of government over to F. C. Krause, the newly elected president, who, in a happy mobile and gasoline motor Industry, it becomes essential for manufacturers and users of gasoline motors to minimize the danger connected with their equipment. The object of the company is to put before the public a safety device which absolutely precludes any possibility of accidents due to explosions of gasoline and similar volatile liquids.
Gasoline has an appalling record as a destroyer of life and property, and yet, from necessity has become one of the most essential of all commodities entering into the world's daily requirement.
The absence of any safe substitute for gasoline has brought about the almost total disregard for the dangers to human life incident to its use.
The company claim that they have put on the market the most remarkable device of the present day. A device which makes accidental gasoline explosions impossible. It has revolutionized the handling of gasoline and other volatile fluids, rendering them absolutely non-explosive.
The gentlemen want a site for a plant to manufacture the cans, and want to sell about $75,000 worth of bonus. A building of about 50x150 dimensions would be large enough, and would give employment to about 25 men. The capacity of the plant would

J. W. Duckworth briefly reviewed the good work accomplished by the board of trade and counselled the co-operation of members in all matters looking to the upbuilding of the city. He thanked the committees for labors performed the past year, and was firm in his belief that the new year had great things in store for this profiling valley. He turned the reins of government over to F. C. Krause, the newly elected president, who, in a happy speech, thanked the organization for the honor conferred upon him. Mr. Krause predicted a prosperous year, and by a united effort much can be accomplished. Our advantages are manifold, he said, and the stamp of approval by the board of trade of any city upon enterprises of public interest acts as an incentive for the commonwealth's advancement.
Among new enterprises, Mr. Krause gave it as his firm belief that Anaheim would in the not far distant future have an electric car line connecting this rich section with Los Angeles, besides a line to the sea coast, which would be the means of putting Anaheim in the forefront of prosperous towns in the Southland. At the conclusion of his remarks Mr. Krause received hearty applause from the assembled members.
Earl Dutton through illness was unable to attend the meeting and Earl Abbey acted in that capacity and read the minutes of the last meeting which were approved.
The president named the following gentlemen as chairmen of the following committees, they to choose the other members to work in conjunction therewith:
On Membership, Geor. L. Deltrich.
On Public Improvements, M. E. Beebe.
On Finance and Advertising, Prof. Hauck.
On Trade and Commerce, Wm. Stark.
On Manufacturers, A. A. Mills.
On Transportation, H. V. Weisel.

Herman Noll, of the banquet committee, reported that the date of the annual gathering had been set for January 21. The ladies of the Eastern Star will furnish the eatables and the event will no doubt be one of the most successful ever undertaken by the board of trade. The banquet will be which makes accidental gasoline explosions impossible. It has revolutionized the handling of gasoline and other volatile fluids, rendering them absolutely non-explosive.
The gentlemen want a site for a plant to manufacture the cans, and want to sell about $75,000 worth of pots. A building of about 50x150 dimensions would be large enough, and would give employment to about 25 men. The capacity of the plant would be 500 cans a day, of the 6-gallon size. The promoters claimed they have enough orders in hand now to keep the factory running a year. There is a great demand for the receptacles they claim, and many cities have passed ordinances prohibiting the sale of any other gasoline container.
The gentlemen gave a demonstration of the nonexplosiveness of the can, and all were amazed at the wonderful invention. Mr. Well, the inventor, has been making the cans in a limited way, but the demand has grown so great that he cannot fill the orders. That is the reason why a corporation is desired. The matter was referred to the committee on manufactures.
It was reported that upwards of $542.00 remains in the advertising fund, which amount will be used to issue a descriptive, illustrated pamphlet of this city.
Dues for the coming year are now payable and the secretary was instructed to use his best efforts to have members come up to the Captain's office and settle.
The exhibit room of the Board of Trade, under the skillful arrangement of F. K. Gresswell, is one of the finest seen in any town like size on the coast. All kinds of products of this section are tastefully arranged under glass covers and are pleasing to the eye, and orange trees are even kept in a healthy growing condition in the room. Highly polished woods, sawn out of gigantic pepper and other trees are on display and attract attention. A cabinet containing photos of members is maintained and new additions are being made all the time, greatly adding to the beauty of the surroundings.
Minerals and beautifully mounted birds of rare plumage are also displayed and altogether the exhibition is a fine one.

The ladies of the Eastern Star will furnish the eatables and the event will no doubt be one of the most successful ever undertaken by the board of trade. The banquet will be held in Masonic hall, and covers will be laid for 100.
Henry Adams of the transportation committee, reported that in consultation with Agent Clabaugh of the Santa Fe, that official stated he had no knowledge of the contemplated change of time in the running of the Owl train, and was at a loss to know how the rumor gained credence.
A. A. Mills, however, stated that he had it from good authority that the time of departure of the train from Los Angeles would be 3 A.M., instead of at 12 o'clock as at present. Mills vouchsafed the information that the train had been sold to the big dalles of the city, and that the change would surely be made. The Fullerton Chamber of Commerce, he said, would make protest to the Railroad Commission, asking that the change be not made. A committee from this city was appointed to act in conjunction with the Fullerton Chamber and an effort made to have the Owl schedule remain unchanged.
Representatives from the Well Manufacturing Corporation of Los Angeles, composed of Geo. W. Condon, president; B. E. Morthland, secretary and S. S. Well, treasurer, appeared before the board with a new invention, called a gasoline safety can. The receptacle is made in any size from 1 to 5 gallons, and larger if desired. The smaller sizes are in most demand. The can is absolutely non-explosive.
With the development of the auto-cabin containing photos of members is maintained and new additions are being made all the time, greatly adding to the beauty of the surroundings.
Minerals and beautifully mounted birds of rare plumage are also displayed and altogether the exhibition is a fine one.
Mr. Greswell takes personal pride in this work and is ever on the alert to add new features. His services are freely given, and the members of the board of trade are loud in their praise of Mr. Greswell as a public spirited citizen.

ANAHEIM CALIFORNIA, THURSDAY, JANUARY 14, 1915
WALNUT GROWERS IN ANNUAL SESSION
MEMBERS OF THE ASSOCIATION MEET AT PACKING HOUSE SATURDAY AFTERNOON
MORE THAN SIX THOUSAND DOLLARS IN NEW EQUIPMENT ADDED DURING YEAR
One of the Anaheim corporations that appears to be satisfied with its board of directors and the present management is the Anaheim Walnut Growers Association. It has been a number of years since a quorum has attended the annual meeting, and at the session held at the company’s packing house on Saturday afternoon less than twenty members were present, whereas it requires thirty-five to legally transact business. The membership has gradually grown until at the present time it numbers 69. There are seven directors, the board being
SPLENDID LECTURE BY PROF. SHAUCK
Talks on the Evolution of America's School System
As an orator or, rather, a lecturer, Prof. E. W. Hauck has few equals in this region and those who wore privileged to hear his lecture at the high school auditorium Friday evening were well repaid for braving the stormy weather which prevailed that night.
"From Prince Albert to Shirt Sleeves, or the Evolution of Ichabod Crane," was the subject of the lecture. Ichabod Crane, the schoolmaster of Sleepy Hollow, is held up as an example of the pedagogue of a century ago, and the professor tells how the school system has advanced since his period.
Owing to the rain that evening the audience was not large which is to be regretted, as the lecture was one of the most instructive ever heard at the auditorium. He told of the splendid system in vogue at the present day and the many advantages enjoyed by the modern pupil in comparison with those of a generation ago, when their fathers and mothers were students. Prof. Hauck is a pleasant speaker and always has something interesting to
MANY NAMES ARE AFFIXED TO PETITION
STORM WATER DISTRICT TRUSTEES FIND NUMEROUS VOTERS PRAYING FOR DISINCORPORATION
BY-LAWS GOVERNING ACTION OF BOARD ADOPTED AT REGULAR MEETING TUESDAY NIGHT
There is a strong probability that the electors living within the precincts of the Anaheim storm water district will shortly have an opportunity to vote upon the question of disincorporation. Several petitions are being circulated praying for a dissolution of the district, but at the meeting of the trustees Tuesday night it was reported that none of the canvassers had covered his territory and completed his list, consequently none of them were turned in. The partial reports of the canvassers showed that 958 signatures had been secured up to that time and
management is the Anaheim Walnut Growers Association. It has been a number of years since a quorum has attended the annual meeting, and at the session held at the company's packing house on Saturday afternoon less than twenty members were present, whereas it requires thirty-five to legally transact business. The membership has gradually grown until at the present time it numbers 69. There are seven directors, the board being Samuel Kraemer, C. E. Holcomb, P. R. Donohoe, J. J. Dwyer, J. B. Neff James Owens and L. C. Deming. Mr. Kraemer is president of the association and James A. Fay is secretary and manager.
Owing to the fact that the season's crop has not all been marketed Mr. Fay could not make a detailed statement covering all the business. The crop has all been shipped to the selling agency at Los Angeles, but 1761 saxes remain still unauld. This is considered a gratifying showing being an unusually small percentage unsaid at this season of the year. The shortage of the crop the past season was not so gratifying. The assosiation shipped 168 tons of nuts, the shipments that year aggregating 330 tons. The quality of the nuts and the high prices received, however, affect to certain extent the shortage. There has never been a better crop measured by quality. Most of them graded No. 1, and there were no rubles.
Mr. Fay announced that the total cost of marketing the crop, which included all packing house expenses, amounted to seventh-tenths of a cent per pound. Actual charges by the selling agency for disposing of the crop could not be stated until the entire product was sold, but he estimated it at 3 1/2 per cent. The price fixed this year by the association was 16 1/2 cents for No. 1 walnuts, which is higher than last year.
The question of bleaching was introduced by Mr. Fay, and it was decided that a different system be adopted. He stated that the perfectly white nuts were preferred by buyers in the eastern markets, consequently it would be policy to use the best system of bleaching.
Many improvements have been made in the packing house during the past year, new equipment costing $6110 being added. This was not considered in the expense account as the secretary announced that it was an investment. Half a cent per pound on the management is the Anaheim Walnut Growers Association. It has been a number of years since a quorum has attended the annual meeting, and at the session held at the company's packing house on Saturday afternoon less than twenty members were present, whereas it requires thirty-five to legally transact business. The membership has gradually grown until at the present time it numbers 69. There are seven directors, the board being Samuel Kraemer, C. E. Holcomb, P. R. Donohoe, J. J. Dwyer, J. B.

He told of the splendid system in vogue at the present day and the many advantages enjoyed by the modern pupil in comparison with those of a generation ago, when their fathers and mothers were students. Prof. Hauck is a pleasant speaker and always has something interesting to say. This lecture should be delivered again when the weather is propitious. It should be heard and enjoyed by everybody who takes an interest in our school system.
NEW MILK INSPECTOR FOR ORANGE COUNTY
A. L. Barlow of L. A. Health Department Assigned Here, Headquarters At Buena Park
A. L. Barlow, milk and dairy inspector of the Los Angeles Health Department, was in town a few days ago on an official visit. Mr. Barlow has been assigned to Orange county, with headquarters in Buena Park. He has supervision over the entire county, and is giving all dairies a rigid inspection. He finds the dairies generally in a sanitary condition, but there are isolated cases that are exceptions, and these are being given close attention. The inspection of milk is an important task and great care should be used in marketing that necessary commodity. Mr. Barlow is enthusiastic in his work and will see that all dairies in the county are kept up to a high standard of cleanliness.
AUTO SERVICE TO SAN DIEGO

MRS.WILL LEE ENTERTAINS THIMBLE CLUB
Mrs.A.L.Welcott of North Placentia prepared a set of by-laws for their government which had been prepared by Secretary Weisel. The first was regular petitioning...
The association is in a flourishing condition. The membership is increasing and all are satisfied with the co-operative system. The packing house is up-to-date in every particular and is under excellent management.
This section was bathed in moisture on Friday afternoon and evening, when a new installment of winter rainfall arrived, promising success to ranchers and a deeper green to the hillsides and valleys of the coast.
The farmers were jubilant in every section visited by the mild storm. Practically every drop that fell was soaked up by the soil, so gentle was the precipitation. Citrus and other fruit groves, pasture lands, and truck gardens were those which received the greatest benefit.
MRS. WILL LEE ENTERTAINS THIMBLE CLUB
Mrs. A.L. Wolcott of North Placentia Avenue Will be Next Hostess on February 3rd

FINE RAIN
This section was bathed in moisture on Friday afternoon and evening, when a new installment of winter rainfall arrived, promising success to ranchers and a deeper green to the hillsides and valleys of the coast.
The farmers were jubilant in every section visited by the mild storm. Practically every drop that fell was soaked up by the soil, so gentle was the precipitation. Citrus and other fruit groves, pasture lands, and truck gardens were those which received the greatest benefit.
The trustees adopted a set of by-laws for their government which had been prepared by Secretary Weisel. The first was that regular meetings should be held on the first and third Thursday evenings of each month. That the office of Weisel & Dutton, at 104 East Center street should be the headquarters of the board, and that the meetings should be held at that place. That a majority of the members present at any meeting should be considered a quorum for the transaction of business. That a change in the by-laws or an addition thereto could be made by a majority vote at any time. That Roberts' rules of order should govern all meetings of the board.
The next meeting will be held on Thursday evening, January 21. At this meeting the petitions asking for disincorporation, it is expected, will be filed and the board will proceed to canvass the same and eliminate all unqualified voters if any appear on the lists. If it is determined that a majority of the electors within the district have signed the petitions the trustees will then proceed to call an election and the voters can themselves decide whether to continue with the protection work or to disincorporate and stop all proceedings.
Street Superintendent Sackett has commenced the improvement of Pauline street, off from East Chatress. The Seventh Day Adventists have recently erected a church on that corner and other building operations in that vicinity necessitated the opening up of the thoroughfare, which has long remained ungraded.
NEW CITY HALL COMMITTEE MEETS
Propositions Discussed Informally, and Another Mass Meeting Will be Called Soon
The committee appointed at the mass meeting held some weeks ago to investigate the new city hall project, met in the council chambers of the city hall on Tuesday evening to further discuss present plans and receive any other propositions that might be presented.
There were present Messrs. Allen, Krick, Dwyer, Hamler, Ahlborn, Hauck, Steward and Nagel.
J.J. Dwyer called the committee to order and asked for reports of the subcommittees. One proposition was submitted, outlining the remodeling of the present hall and the adjacent Hart building, coating approximately $3,000.
The various sites which have here-tolore been referred to were discussed, and all had advantages that received respectful consideration.
A civic center proposition was discussed at length, and it was argued that the centralization of city buildings, together with the maintenance of a park would meet with heart.
EDITOR STONE TURNS RULE, DISAPPEARS
MOURNING CREDITORS LEFT IN LURCH, WOULD BE PLEASED TO MEET HIM
STARTS PIANO CONTEST BUT MUSICAL INSTRUMENT IS TAKEN FROM WINNER
Editor A. W. Stone, of the Buena Park Record has been missing from his accustomed haunts since Sunday morning, and is reported to have left for pastures new. A number of mourning creditors would like very much to have an interview with him, but up to a late hour last night had not succeeded in efforts to locate him. He left a large bill for printing his paper, and it was said yesterday the Record would not again appear. Stone came here some four months ago and launched the Record, which was printed in this city and circulated at Buena Park Business was slack and advertising

Godfrey Stock meant a majority of the last general election. He had also been asked and declared that strength of the discontent less than owners was necessary selection. Secretary also one of the attorneys interpreted the majority of the voting within the district of the vote cast at was the only basis of electors. It was also argued that the great register was the total voting majority of these used sufficient authoriety. Mr. Weisel took further into the authoritative opinion.

A set of by-laws which had been instituted by Welsel. The rules should committees. One proposition was submitted, outlining the remodeling of the present hall and the adjacent Hart building, costing approximately $3,000.
The various sites which have heretofore been referred to were discussed, and all had advantages that received respectful consideration.
A civic center proposition was discussed at length, and it was argued that the centralization of city buildings, together with the maintenance of a park, would meet with hearty approval.
The committee has entered into the duties to which they have been assigned with an earnestness that betokens the crystallizing of their views into a project that will meet with the sanction of citizens.
It is the intention to call another mass meeting, probably on January 29, when a plan will be submitted to the people looking to the betterment of civic affairs.
The assessed valuations of city property came in for severe censure by several of the gentlemen present. Instances were cited where property in the north west part of town was assessed at $600 an acre while property directly opposite was assessed at just one-half. This was an eye-opener. Another instance was cited in the assessment of property on the southeast where lots were assessed at $100 while lots in the adjoining block were assessed at $50. Other instances were cited which made the members of the committee sit up and take notice. It was stated that a committee is to appear before the board of trustees to have a more equal and fair assessment arranged.
Another proposition was proposed at the meeting which in effect is this: The "drys" claim that they should have a representation on the board of trustees. It is said that if the "drys" had two members on the board, that the people of this city would be more friendly united, and that all could then put shoulders to the wheel and build up the city. It was intimated that unless some such representation was agreed to any bond issues in the future would receive vigorous opposition from the "dry" forces. Some of the leading citizens are talking of these things in and out of meeting.
Stone evolved a piano contest as a means of getting subscribers. He was driven about the country by some of the best people at the Park and several hundred subscriptions were procured at $1.50 per. Each subscriber was given a chance in the piano contest, and at the drawing last week, it fell to a young lady of the Park whose family had interested themselves in getting new subscribers for the paper.
It developed on Monday that Stone had paid but a very small amount on the piano, and had agreed to liquidate his indebtedness with the music house by the first of the year. This he is said to have failed to do, and on Tuesday representatives of the Los Angeles music house went to the Park and took the piano away. The family of the young lady made no objections to giving up the piano, and it was turned over to the music house in good condition. Stone has probably gone to join Editor Bennett of Stanton, who was mixed up in an automobile affair a year and a half ago, and who beat it to the hills after disposing of the machine to his landlord, leaving many mourning creditors to deplore his sudden departure. Bennett procured a sum of money from his landlord to whom he transferred the buzz wagon, and took her note for the balance. He discounted the paper at a bank and disappeared. A Fullerton implement man, from whom the auto had been purchased under contract by Bennett went to Stanton and repleined his machine.
Stone is said to have collected a considerable sum of money on advertising contracts and otherwise, and as he failed to pay his printing bill which is quite a wad of dinero, he is supposed to have taken quite a bunch of the long green with him. He is said to have left for Colorado early on Sunday morning, and letters are understood to have followed him at his new address demanding an accounting.
HIGHWAY COMMISSION WILL VISIT CITY
Tour Over Roads in Third District Proposed for Tomorrow
After an all-day session at Santa Ana on Monday, the highway commission adjourned until Friday, when they will make recommendations to the board of supervisors relative to the expenditure of the surplus of $246,710 now in the treasury to credit the commission. Delegations were present from Wintersburg, Lemon Heights, Villa Park and Orange, all of whom asked for the construction of additional paved highways in their section.
On invitation of Commissiener McFadden, the highway commission will be here tomorrow to meet a delegation of our citizens and drive over a number of roads in the 3rd district, which our people desire paved.
The commission will probably recommend paying the canyon road, the Stanton strip and the El Toro road to the state line. The canyon road will cost probably $55,000, the Stanton strip $20,000, and the El Toro $10,000. The commission will at its meeting tomorrow, following a drive through this section, finally recommend to the supervisors roads to be paved out of the surplus fund. The supervisors will hold an all-day session, and it promises to be an interesting one.
A. E. Hiles was in Los Angeles on Monday on a business trip.
