LOCAL BOOSTERS WILL TAKE IN FAIR ANAHEIM BOARD OF TRADE TO RUN A SPECIAL TO SAN DIEGO WITHIN FEW WEEKS COMMISSIONER NEWLAND'S PROPOSED HALF MILLION DOLLAR BOND ISSUE REPUDIATED A special train, carrying hundreds of Anaheim booster to the San Diego exposition, is a project now being considered by the board of trade. No special date has been decided upon as the officials of the exposition will be consulted, and the date will probably be fixed by them. It is expected to make this a record-breaking advertising stunt. The Anaheim business houses will be asked to close for the day and everybody invited to join the merry crowd and spend the day boosting for Anaheim. The new booklet which is being printed by the board will be distributed by the excursionists. It will exploit the "Frostless been trying to accomplish for years. The committee appointed to purchase prize cups for the high school track meet, announced, through Prof. Hauck, that a school cup was already in existence which was still being contested for, consequently it was not necessary to offer another, but there was no individual trophy offered. A suitable cup would cost probably $40. The committee was instructed to purchase the individual cup. It will be presented to the athlete making the highest number of points at the county athletic meet in this city on March 13. J. W. Duckworth, who at a recent meeting had been appointed Chairman of one of the committees to solicit membership asked to be released owing to illness. Secretary E. C. Dutton was appointed in his place. Following are the committees: H. P. Noll, chairman; F. C. Krause, Prof. E. W. Hauck, J. L. Swope, C. L. Swope, A. A. Mills, W. E. Wortman, H. A. Dickel, Wm. Stark, F. M. Gibbs, J. H. Cook, H. E. W.

The Anaheim business houses will be asked to close for the day and everybody invited to join the merry crowd and spend the day boosting for Anaheim. The new booklet which is being printed by the board will be distributed by the excursionists. It will exploit the "Frostless Belt," and it is expected this publicity stunt will be the most far-reaching of anything ever attempted by the board of trade. Three or four hundred people are expected to take advantage of this opportunity to visit the fair and also do a good stroke of business for Anaheim. In connection with this Mr. Mills called attention to the fact that the Santa Fe allowed no stop-over privileges at Anaheim. In fact, San Juan Capistrano was the only town in Orange county where this privilege was granted, whereas all towns in San Diego county were stop-over stations. The Santa Fe officials refused to remedy this, said Mr. Mills, and had even stated that they would cut out all stopovers rather than grant any more. He recommended that the matter be laid before the railroad commission. The board of trade went on record as unalterably opposed to the calling of a bond election for the purpose of voting half a million dollars for use in the construction of the coast boulevard. The matter was introduced by chairman Krause who stated that all the chambers of commerce in the northern section of the county with the exception of Anaheim had declared emphatically in opposition to the movement and it would be appropriate for the Anaheim board of trade to take a stand before the meeting of the associated chambers at Balboa, which was held last night. There was no need for discussion on the question as the sentiment was unanimous. On motion of Prof. Hauck the board sat down on the proposition to a man and did it with enthusiasm. The secretary was in receipt of a letter from Assemblyman J. C. Burke stating that he believed the bill now pending before the legislature would work an injustice to Orange county should it become a law. It was written particularly for Los Angeles county and San Pedro harbor.

C. Burke stating that he believed the bill now pending before the legislature would work an injustice to Orange county should it become a law. It was written particularly for Los Angeles county and San Pedro harbor. Mr. Mills seized the occasion to read some extracts from the proposed measure emphasizing its good points. It provides that the supervisors shall have power to declare protection districts wherever necessary, and assess the expense against the property in the district. All parties within the boundary lines of such district not benefited may be eliminated, and only those who receive benefits by the inauguration of such district shall be assessed. No action was taken on the matter but a committee of three, with Mr. Mills as chairman was appointed to make a report at a later date. J. C. Metzger of the Santa Ana chamber of commerce notified the secretary that the supply of Anaheim literature was exhausted and asked that some more be sent him. The secretary was instructed to look after the matter. Prof. E. W. Hauck, chairman of the advertising committee, announced that the new booklet would be off the press in a short time. Ten thousand copies have been ordered. In addition to containing Mr. Sandlland's article on the "Frostless Belt," it will give complete description of Anaheim and its surrounding territory and will be embellished with numerous cuts. The booklet will be an attractive one. Chairman Ahlborn of the public improvement committee, has something up his sleeve, but refused to make it public. He had an agreeable surprise in store for the board he said, as he believed something was going to be consummated that the board of trade had Carl Pressel has filed an answer to the damage action brought by E. Barba. Barba asks $1500 damages for injuries received when his buggy was hit by Pressel's automobile. Barba was thrown out, and alleges that he had his arm broken, his head cut and his body injured otherwise in various ways. Pressel declares the accident occurred through Barba's fault. Pressel was driving on the Buena Park road on a dark night, and passed a motorcycle. Ahead of him he saw a white light. He thought a vehicle was approaching, and he swung clear over to his right side to avoid it. He ran into the rear of Barba's buggy. He declares that had Barba carried a red light, as the law requires, there would have been no collision. Tipton & Callor are attorneys for Pressel, who asks that no damages be awarded to Barba. F. K. Greswell left Friday for San Francisco to attend the opening of the exposition. Mr. Greswell also expects to place two of the Anaheim pictures which the board of trade recently had made. He will put one in the exposition and one in the Oakland chamber of commerce. This picture was recently taken by Judge Howard from the top of the water tank. It is one by five feet in dimensions inside the frame, and gives a splendid birdseye view of Anaheim. In addition to the two which Mr. Greswell takes north one of them will be hung in the Los Angeles chamber of commerce, one at Santa Ann, one at San Diego exposition, and the sixth one will hang in the Anaheim board of trade rooms.

It was also known that the same parties had leased ten acres from the sugar company, which gave them a thirty-acre tract, ample grounds on which to establish a pretty good sized plant. But the facts in the matter have finally come to the surface. The ground SURPRISE PARTY TENDERED MR. AND MRS. LEE AT SIMPSON RESIDENCE Worthy Couple Royally Entertained on The Eve of Their Departure to New Home A genuine surprise party was given to Mr. and Mrs. F. W. Lee at the home of Mr. and Mrs. G. M. Simpson on the corner of East and South streets on Friday eve. A number of Montanans were invited and all arrived at the hospital Simpson home at 6:30 o'clock. The house was completely darkened and the guests were comfortably seated in the capacious reception room. Mr. Simpson in the meanwhile had gone over to the Lee residence in East Anaheim and brought the guests to his home, arriving just after dark, under the pretense that they were to be his guests for the evening. Upon entering the house lights were turned on, revealing the presence of the assembled party. Mr. and Mrs. Lee were completely surprised and the worthy couple were overjoyed at meeting their old-time friends in this unexpected manner. Mr. and Mrs. Simpson proved themselves to be royal entertainers and a most happy time was spent by all. During the evening a splendid banquet was discussed.

MILLIKAN'S MEN EASILY DEFEAT COMPETITORS IN RELAY RACES ON OCCIDENTAL GROUNDS Bringing back eight gold medals and a silver cup from the Occidental track meet on Monday, six members of the A. U. H. track team returned in the evening after placing their school at the head of their class in the contest for honors, which was participated in by high schools from various points in Southern California. The men were Harold Douglass, Edward Backs, Geo. Kemp, Darrroll Webb, Morris Martenet, George Gregg and Clark Scott. They were in charge of Coach Millikan, who is a proficient trainer of young athletes. were taking out the trees with the intention of establishing some kind of an industry thereon, the matter was kept so quiet that it was impossible to get definite information on the subject. It was also known that the same parties had leased ten acres from the sugar company, which gave them a thirty-acre tract, ample grounds on which to establish a pretty good sized plant. But the facts in the matter have finally come to the surface. The ground was purchased by Messrs. Reuther and Hosea of Los Angeles, and the business which they expect to found thereon is a meat packing plant. For many week these gentlemen have been quietly investigating advantages and sites in the various cities of Southern California, and finally decided that Anaheim offered better advantages than any of the others, consequently without asking for bonuses or contributions they purchased the land that was for sale and leased the additional ten acres required. The buildings and their equipment will cost in the neighborhood of $50,000 and construction work will begin in less than a month, it is reported. Cattle, hogs and sheep will be slaughtered and their carcasses turned into meats. This stock of course, will all be shipped in and most of it fattened in the yards. For this purpose the company has contracted for all the pulp turned out by the sugar factory. This pulp is an excellent feed for stock, and the product of the Anaheim factory will supply a large herd. A feed mill and a cold storage and ice plant, also a plant for turning out by-products will be among the buildings erected. This is a big industry and will add much to the prosperity of Anaheim. Besides it promises to expand. The situation is admirable, as railroad facilities are good, water is abundant and fuel is cheap. BUILDING ERECTED IN LATE SEVENTIES SHOWS SIGNS OF WEAKNESS Charles Conliff Discovers Wall of Brick Structure Bulges Out Three Inches When Charles Conliff started to lay the cement foundation for the new Carroll building on South Los Angeles street several days ago, he discovered that the south wall of the adjoining brick building belonging to "Dick" Heitachus was an inch over Mr. and Mrs. Lee were completely surprised and the worthy couple were overjoyed at meeting their old-time friends in this unexpected manner. Mr. and Mrs. Simpson proved themselves to be royal entertainers and a most happy time was spent by all. During the evening a splendid banquet was discussed. Miss Herman favored the assembly with a sole. A game was played during the evening which provoked much merriment. All the men folks were put into a room under lock and key and blind-folded were brought out singly, each one to guess the name of the lady before him, the gentleman having the privilege of ascertaining the height and waist measurement of the "subject" by the sense of feeling. Of course the subject was a dummy neatly attired, with symmetrical form and figure, and the men folks were all on the tiptoe of expectancy as to her identity until the blindfold was removed. The game was provocative of much laughter by all privileged to see the fun, and it is understood that Bert Simpson was to be the "victim," in that a real live figure was to be before him when his turn came which was to be the last two, and when Bob was led out Bert made his get away and peaked through a curtain from the outside and saw the joke. Thus Bert gave his captors the double cross and the game ended. Bert said, however, if he had known the figure that he was to guess on was to have been real he never would have "broke jail." Among those present were: Mr. and Mrs. G. M. Simpson, Mrs. Dr. Calkins, Mr. and Mrs. Tolson, Mr. and Mrs. F. W. Lee, Mr. and Mrs. Ora Clark, Mr. and Mrs. R. B. Herman, Miss Herman, Mrs. Dickerson and Miss Elizabeth Dickerson, Mr. and Mrs. Jim Callaway, Mrs. Adkins, Mrs. Bigelow, Mrs. Ward, V. U. Simpson, and Mr. Smith. Mr. and Mrs. Lee have disposed of their Eastkle home and will shortly depart for Long Beach, where they will in the future reside. COMMITTEE MEETS PREPARES STATEMENT Decided Opposition to Anaheim Storm Water District, Seek Disincorporation of Same A number of property owners met A.U.H.track team returned in the evening after placing their school at the head of their class in the contest for honors, which was participated in by high schools from various points in Southern California. The men were Harold Douglass, Edward Backs, Geo.Kemp, Darrall Webb, Morris Martenet, George Gregg and Clark Scott. They were in charge of Coach Millikan, who is a proficient trainer of young athletes. Never in its history has the Anaheim high school boasted of a better track team than the one winning honors for the school this winter. There have been individual athletes who have won glory for themselves and renown for the school, but in every event on the field this season the boys appear to have a champion who is able to make good. Having walloped with ease all county teams that have so far entered the lists against them, Coach Millikan Monday afternoon took the team up to Los Angeles to try their metal at the occidental relay races. There were six boys in the team and they returned home with eight gold medals and a silver cup, two of them having two medals each. They were entered in the races in Class 2, which included all schools having an enrollment of less than 300. In the half mile run Kemp, Webb, Martenet and Douglass composed the Anaheim team. Anaheim won with a lead of twenty yards. South Pasadena was second, Orange third and Filmore fourth. In the mile run the local team was Kemp, Gregg, Backs and Douglass. South Pasadena was second, Whittier third and Monrovia fourth. It was an easy victory, Douglass breaking the tape fifty yards ahead of the South Pasadena sprinter. Douglass made the last quarter in the remarkable time of 62.3, which qualifies him for entrance into the northern races. The total score of these races was Anaheim 10, South Pasadena 6, Orange 2, Whittier 2, Filmore 1, Monrovia 1, Glendale 1. In class 19 1-3, Manual Arts, 14 1-3, Poly 7, Pasadena 5, Pomona 5, Santa Paula 4 1-3, Hollywood 2. In class 3 Occidental led with 16, Pomona 10, L.A.A.C. 3, Whittier 2.

When Mr. Conliff saw the condition in which the wall was in he called off his men, and notified the owners of the property of the defective wall. The building was erected in 1876. The old wall has been "shaved" to allow the new wall to be placed in position. Charles Raemella has sold his place on East Santa Ana street to Mr. Whethy of North Dakota, who has taken possession. Mr. Raemella and family have moved into his new residence on East Center street, where they will make their future abode. The City of Fullerton has filed notice with the Board of Supervisors of its claim for $450 against Trounee & Stoecker, who have the contract for building the Olive bridge. The communication asserts that Fullerton sold the contractors a motor and pump for $500, and was paid $50, the remainder not being paid when due. The county is asked to hold out from payment to the contractors the amount of Fulleron's demands. A large delegation from the board of trade attended the meeting of the associated chambers of commerce at Balboa last night. The dispute between the inlanders and the coast boulevardiers was the attraction. COMMITTEE MEETS PREPARES STATEMENT Decided Opposition to Anaheim Storm Water District, Seek Disincorporation of Same A number of property owners met in Weisel & Dutton's office on Monday evening, and prepared a statement to voters within the district. The same will be found printed in another column this morning. There is a decided opposition to the storm water district and many of the taxpayers are firm in their declarations that the same should be disincorporated. The law governing storm water districts is of recent date, and people generally profess to know not much about it. There are many taxpayers who maintain that the district never should have been formed. It is too small, territorially, and the confining of flood waters should be a task that the legislature should make provision for. To confine the flood waters of the Santa Ana river into a permanent channel would require the expenditure of a large sum of money, one hundred thousand dollars, at least. From competent authority it is learned that that amount would be necessary to place the waters into a channel at the Olive Bridge, so as to preserve the structure and keep it from being destroyed. Legislation is pending at Sacramento, which if it becomes law, will enable counties to form districts for river protection. It would be well for the citizens to wait upon representatives at Sacramento and endeavor to have laws passed with this end in view. Mr. and Mrs. Lee have disposed of their Eastake home and will shortly depart for Long Beach, where they will in the future reside. The total score of these races was Anaheim 10, South Pasadena 6, Orange 2, Whittier 2, Filmore 1, Monrovia 1, Glendale 1. In class 1 the final score was, Long Beach 19-1-3, Manual Arts, 14-1-3, Poly 7, Pasadena 5, Pomona 5, Santa Paula 4-1-3, Hollywood 2. In class 3 Occidental led with 16, Pomona 10, L. A. A. C. 3, Whittier 2. The Orange county high school track meet will be held in this city on Saturday, March 13, and the boys confidently expect to win on this occasion. A month ago they met the Santa Ana athletes on the local grounds and defeated them by a score of 71 to 61. Two weeks later the Fullerton boys came over and were slaughtered in a scandalous manner, the score being 95 to 37. Orange and Huntington Beach, which teams will contest in the county track meet, have not been tested, but unless Orange makes a better showing than it did on the Occidental grounds it cannot be considered as in the running. A silver cup which has been previously contested for will go to the school winning the highest number of points at the coming meet. At present this is in the possession of Orange but it is expected to be the property Anaheim high school after the 13th of March. The individual cup, offered by the board of trade will also remain in this city, it is confidently predicted. John Walker of the firm of Lindsay-Walker of Helena, Mont., Dr. Carrl and wife, Mrs. Williston and Mrs. Hayes all of Billings, Mont., Thomas McGirrl of Long Beach, and Mr. and Mrs. Edminston of Rivera, the latter old-time friends of Dr. Carrl, were guests of G. M. Simpson and wife several days last week. The Montanans were hospitalally entertained while in our midst and it is not at all unlikely that this section will claim some of the visitors as future residents. JETTE.

MASONIC TEMPLE DEDICATION AN AUSPICIOUS OCCASION Large Number of Visiting Masons From Southern California In Attendance The new Masonic Temple in this city was formally dedicated on Saturday afternoon, beginning at three o'clock. Judge Walter Bledsoe, M. W. G. M., and other members of the grand lodge had charge of the ceremonies. In the evening installation of officers was held in the Temple as follows: M. W. Marenet, W. M. T. L. Hoag, S. W. Earl R. Abbey, J. W. Charles A. Boege, Treasurer. Wm. Chambers, Secretary. G. W. Sloop, S. D. E. L. Goodrich, J. D. H. W. Braden, Marshal. F. W. Champion, S. S. R. C. Petermann, J. S. Rev. D. T. Cillimor, Chaplain. J. H. Enearl, Tyler. The ladies of the Eastern Star furnished a splendid banquet to which ample justice was done. The Masonic Temple is one of the finest in Southern California, the lodge room being elegantly appointed, the interior arrangement being pronounced the equal of any fraternal organization lodgeroom in the state.

ELECTION FRIDAY TOMORROW THE DATE SET FOR ELECTION TO VOTE ON DIS-INCORPORATION TWO POLLING PLACES PROVIDED, ONE AT CITY HALL, OTHER AT REDIT MACHINE SHOP In view of the fact that this season we have had nearly 17 inches of rain up to date which caused considerable water to flow in the Santa Ana river at different times the past month, there has been no damage from overflow and no inconvenience occasioned by the unusual excessive rainfall. Last year we had 18.90 inches of rain and no damage was done. At times large volumes of water ran in the river and there was no overflow of any damaging proportions. On January 24, 1914, .94 of an inch of rain fell, on Jan. 26, 3 inches and on Jan. 27, 1.22, making a total of 5.16 inches in three days. Still there was no damage done from overflood. History of the Anaheim Lodge of Masons is the parent lodge of practically all of the lodges in this county. In February 1870, a meeting was called for the purpose of aiding a Mason and his family who had arrived in Anaheim and were in need. The mother had died on the trip across the sands and the father and children were in need of aid. There were seventeen present at the meeting from all over this county, and the sum of $250 was raised for the distressed ones. When it was found that there were seventeen Masons here it was decided to organize a lodge and the charter was granted them in October of the same year. Since that time it has been the fate of the Anaheim lodge to loose just when it was making the most progress. First Santa Ana formed a lodge and Anaheim lost members in the transfer to the new lodge. Then came Orange, Fullerton and last, Buena Park. In each case Anaheim lost members, but this was a gain to a new lodge started in a new place. Joseph Helmsen was elected secretary of the Anaheim lodge in 1893 and was installed in 1894. He occupied this office for nineteen years, when illness prevented attendance at lodge and a continuance of the duties of secretary. EIGHTEENTH ANNIVERSARY CELEBRATED BY YEOMEN Large Attendance at One of the Best Social Events Given This Season Monday evening the Brotherhood of American Yeomen celebrated their 18th anniversary by giving a card party and dance. There were nearly 150 in attendance and a most remarkable good time was enjoyed. Mrs. Moyer of the Cable millinery had complete charge of the program and performed her work with remarkable skill. Coffee, cake and punch was served. has been no damage from overflow and no inconvenience occasioned by the unusual excessive rainfall. Last year we had 18.90 inches of rain and no damage was done. At times large volumes of water ran in the river and there was no overflow of any damaging proportions. On January 24, 1914, .94 of an inch of rain fell, on Jan. 26, 3 inches and on Jan. 27, 1.22, making a total of 5.16 inches in three days. Still there was no damage done from overflow. Through the improvements made in the neighborhood of the river, on the west, a levee, that usually held the water, had been obliterated, and during the heavy rains last year, a break occurred there and some water cut through contiguous ranches to the northeast of town, but after its subsidence it was computed that very little damage had been done. The enrichment of the soil by the silt deposits offset any damage that may have occurred. The two years previous we had scant rainfall, and during the season of 1912-13, for a period of five months we had not a drop of rain until the first of March. During that month we had six inches of rainfall and no overflow resulted, even with that large amount of water falling during that short period of time. Our normal rainfall is 15 inches, and many seasons we have a greatly less quantity of rainfall. To confine the waters of the river so as to pass under the new Olive bridge will be an undertaking too great for the Anaheim Storm Water District to finance During the rainy season a considerable volume of flood water rushes down the river, and during the last heavy precipitation a couple of weeks ago, a veritable river run on both sides of the unfinished bridge now being constructed by the county. To confine the waters into a channel and keep it there will be a problem that the county will probably have to deal with. It is rightfully argued by opponents to the district that legislation should be framed giving counties the right to form protection districts and confine the flood waters of rivers in their natural channels.. The constant accumulation of debris in the river bed in the neighborhood of the Olive bridge, the piling under the bridge affording convenient places of lodgement for all kinds of brush, has had a tendency in the many years past to Monday evening the Brotherhood of American Yeomen celebrated their 18th anniversary by giving a card party and dance. There were nearly 150 in attendance and a most remarkable good time was enjoyed. Mrs. Moyer of the Cable millinery had complete charge of the program and performed her work with remarkable skill. Coffee, cake and punch was served. Miss Sidman, Mrs. Launders and Mr. Schmidt rendered the music of the evening. In the card room some very handsome prizes were given. The ladies first prize, a hand embroidered guest towel, was won by Mrs. J. W. Jordan, lately from Portland. The second prize, a hand crocheted dolle, was won by Miss Leola Alling. The ladies consolation prize was won by Mrs. Hazel. The gentlemen's prizes were as follows: A solid gold tie clasp won by Wm. Dychman, Trail of the Axe, won by Mr. Brown of Olinda, and the consolation prize was won by Jno. Bourne. The yeomen order started here last August with only ten members. Now the order has over 75 members with an average attendance of 35 members. The order has been in existence now eighteen years and has never departed from the original rates, besides they have accumulated a reserve fund of nearly three and a half million dollars. The plan is right and the fact that the money is handled by the state treasurer of Iowa gives no chance for mis-appropriated funds. The policy carries it an accident feature which makes it doubly attractive. Exercises were held in some of the city schools commemorative of the Father of his country on Monday. In the afternoon all the business houses in town, with a few exceptions, closed their doors. It is rightfully argued by opponents to the district that legislation should be framed giving counties the right to form protection districts and confine the flood waters of rivers in their natural channels... The constant accumulation of debris in the river bed in the neighborhood of the Olive bridge, the piling under the bridge affording convenient places of lodgement for all kinds of brush, has had a tendency in the many years past to fill up the bed of the river. In places it is higher than the banks and residents in that neighborhood have thrown up lovees in different places to hold the flood waters within its banks. The Olive bridge was built by the county many years ago and it has been maintained as such by the county. Thus, the county has established a precedent, in that it has kept the bridge in repair. Now, it is contended, the county cannot divert from its best practices, and attempt to pass up the river improvement to some other source. That improvements in the river bed are needed is admitted, but the curbing of the turbulent waters during excessive rainfall is a bigger job than the local storm water district could conveniently handle. That is the reason why at least 90 per cent of the people in the district are in favor of disincorporation. Several citizens of Fullerton were over on Friday afternoon with their new motor fire truck which they had on exhibition for a time. Quite a number of people were on hand to view the new fire fighting machine and all pronounced it a dandy. Several of our city trustees give it the "once over" and seemed favorably impressed with the new invention. Mr. and Mrs. F. B. Doll of Los Angeles, were guests of Mr. and Mrs. Fritz Ruhmann the first of the week.
