ANAHEIM TO HAVE EXHIBIT AT THE COUNTY FAIR
BOARD OF TRADE TO SUPERVISE CREDITABLE EXHIBITION OF PRODUCTS AT SANTA ANA
ANAHEIM SUPREMES TO BE FEATURED—INDIVIDUAL EXHIBITS ARE URGENTLY REQUESTED
At the board of trade meeting Monday evening it was unanimously decided that Anaheim have a display of products at the county fair to be held at Santa Ana on October 12-16. The advertising committee was instructed to supervise the exhibit. That a creditable display will be sent to the fair admits of no doubt.
Among the orange display will be Anaheim Supremes, admittedly the finest oranges on the market today. Everywhere the fruit has commanded top prices and the luscious oranges are eagerly sought after by the eastern trade. Parties buying products
The finance committee audited several bills presented, for which warrants were ordered drawn.
Mr. Mills took another "flyer" at the railroad companies in regard to stopover privileges in Orange county, and further remarked that a recent arrival from Calliente, several hundred miles this side of Salt Lake, had found it cheaper to journey to the latter city and purchase a ticket to Los Angeles, than to buy his ticket direct from Calliente to Los Angeles. Mr. Mills could not see why these things should be, but as the board of trade could offer no relief the matter was held in abeyance.
It was reported that the north approach to Lemon street in this city had been regraded, for all of which thanks were given. There are other roads needing attention and it was hoped that the good work would proceed.
At the conclusion of the meeting the idea of arranging for an appropriate reception to be accorded the arrival in this city of the Liberty Bell early in November received hearty approval. Details were discussed informally and at the next meeting of the board of trade committees will be appointed to endeavor to arrange to have the bell remain in the city for a brief period, while on its way to the San Diego exhibition. The itinerary of the Liberty Bell includes a route through this city on Camino Real, and it is the in-
products at the county fair to be held at Santa Ana on October 12-16. The advertising committee was instructed to supervise the exhibit. That a creditable display will be sent to the fair admits of no doubt.
Among the orange display will be Anaheim Supremes, admittedly the finest oranges on the market today. Everywhere the fruit has commanded top prices and the luscious oranges are eagerly sought after by the eastern trade. Parties having products of merit of any description are urgently requested to bring them in and turn them over to the committee, who will see that proper display is accorded them at the fair. Due credit will also be given individual exhibitors. At a previous county fair several local growers received first prizes and it is the intention of the committee to see that Anaheim comes off with flying colors at the forthcoming fair next month.
Vice president A. A. Mills presided at the meeting. There was a very good attendance and much interest was manifested in the deliberations of the meeting.
Secretary Duckworth reported that about $1500 had been collected for diking the west bank of the Santa Ana river at the Olive bridge. In this city about $600 is subscribed, but not as yet collected. Active committees are in the field soliciting subscriptions and it is confidently expected that at least $2500 will be collected for the purpose. The committee will make report to the supervisors as to the progress made here and it is expected that work upon the river dike will be commenced immediately.
Richard Krastel, secretary of Anaheim Concordia, in behalf of that musical organization, extended the board of trade members an invitation to attend the grand concert to be given at the high school auditorium the evening of Tuesday, Sept. 21st. The concert is to be given in honor of the Concordia winning the silver cup, offered by a Los Angeles business firm, at the recent Saengerfest held in that city. The cup was the first prize offered in Class B, of which Anaheim concordia was a member. Songs sung at the Los Angeles meeting will be rendered here by the local organization. A large audience will be in attendance at the concert, and due appreciation will be shown the Concordia by the citizens of Anaheim.
MODERN WOODMEN
ADOPT NEW MEMBERS
Joint Meeting of Camps of the County Held Here Monday Night
The Modern Woodmen of Orange county met at the headquarters of the local camp in the Odd Fellows building Monday night for the purpose of initiating new members. There were twelve candidates for adoption, most of them being from Santa Ana. The Santa Ana camp and team performed the work of initiation. Members were present from all the camps of the county, the attendance being 140. At the close of the work a sumptuous feast was spread in the banquet hall, which was duly appreciated by all visitors and hosts alike.
The Modern Woodmen camps of Orange county recently inaugurated the plan of adopting new members at joint meetings of all the camps of the county instead of by individual lodges. The system works satisfactorily. There are camps at Anaheim, Santa Ana, Orange, Fullerton, Garden Grove, Westminster, and other towns, and when they meet in joint session there is something lively on the boards. F. A. Criss is Counsel of the Anaheim camp.

Judge Howard addressed the meeting in reference to raising funds for the board of trade. Other cities provide funds for advertising purposes by inserting a small tax levy in the yearly budget. As the time for such action is now passed, Judge Howard suggested that a committee be appointed to wait upon the city trustees and see if an appropriation can be made for advertising purposes. Secretary J. W. Duckworth was appointed to interview the city trustees in regard to the matter.
At a recent meeting a committee had been appointed to wait upon the city trustees with a view of having the "dips" in several of the paved streets eliminated, but as yet the committee had no report to make. Trustee Stark, who was present, informed the board that the trustees had the matter under consideration, and that just as soon as a paying company was again in our midst, the "dips" would have to go. This information was received with a great deal of approbation by all present.
The advertising committee, to whom was referred the auditing of the ex-secretary's books, asked for further time. The books and vouchers had been received that day, but owing to a press of duties of the members of the committee, the auditing of the books had been delayed. The committee, however will attend to the matter before the next meeting.
BIRTHDAY ANNIVERSARY
Friends Spread a Feast for Him at Bixby Park, Long Beach
It was a joyous party that gathered at Bixby park, Long Beach, Sunday, to celebrate the birthday anniversary of J. W. Duckworth. We are not able to state just which one of his birthdays it was, but he must be somewhere in the neighborhood of fifty. Thirty friends from Anaheim, Santa Ana and Long Beach were of the party, all traveling to the beach town in their autos early in the morning. The day was spent in an exceedingly pleasant manner, one of the principal features being an abundance of good things to eat.
This was not a surprise to Mr. Duckworth as he had been invited to the affair before the arrangements were all completed. A year ago he was enticed to Eastlake park on false pretenses and given the surprise of his life where a bevy of friends met him and announced that they were there to celebrate his birthday.
His numerous friends hope that he will see many more birthday celebrations.
An automatic door and gate opener and closer has been invented by Messrs. R. J. McFadden and J. A. Volz of this city. The contrivance has been patented and the gentlemen have designed a miniature model which they have on exhibition. The invention will be a boon to autoists, as any door or gate can be opened or closed without descending from the machine. The apparatus may be fastened to any door or gate that swings on hinges, and it will no doubt meet with approbation by the public.
W. T. Alling, wife and daughter have been spending a week at Laguna, returning home Sunday.

EXHIBITION DRILL BY SANTA ANA GANTON
WINNERS OF FIRST PRIZE AT SAN DIEGO GIVE ANAHEIM SPECIMEN OF THEIR SKILL
ENTERTAINED BY ODD FELLOWS AND REBEKAHS AT BANQUET FRIDAY EVENING
For nearly an hour on Friday evening the drill team of Santa Ana Canton No. 18, evolved and gyrated in an exhibition drill on the pavement of Claudina street in presence of a large and appreciative audience frequently applauding the maneuvers. There are three officers and eighteen men in the team, which enjoys the reputation of being one of the most efficient corps in military drill in the Southland.
The company is commanded by Captain L. L. Vestal, the first lieutenant is Roger LaBardo, and the second lieutenant is the work with perfect precision, not an error being made by anyone.
At the close of the drill the Odd Fellows and Rebekahs entertained the visitors with a feast at the banquet hall of the I. O. O. F. building, and a most enjoyable night was spent. Several members of the Canton, who did not belong to the military squad were present. The Santa Ana bunch is a jolly crowd, and they met congenial spirits here, consequently the evening was a pleasant one.

ANAHEIM AUTO THIRD IN LINE IN GREAT ADMISSION DAY PARADE
After spending five days at the meeting of the League of California Municipalities at Oakland, and five days at the exposition at San Francisco, Trustee George W. Hamler and Mrs. Hamler returned from the north Sunday. Mr. Hamler, Trustee Schneider, City Attorney Ames and City Engineer Steward were delegates sent north to represent Anaheim at the league meeting, and they combined pleasure with business by seeing the fair after adjournment of the league.
Mr. Hamler states that the sessions were extremely profitable to those who take an interest in municipal government. He was present during the
in an exhibition drill on the pavement of Claudina street in presence of a large and appreciative audience frequently applauding the maneuvers. There are three officers and eighteen men in the team, which enjoys the reputation of being one of the most efficient corps in military drill in the Southland.
The company is commanded by Captain L. L. Vestal, the first lieutenant is Roger LaBarde, and the second lieutenant R. S. Dickerson. The other members are R. S. Dreyer, Tom Cocke, L. F. Sheets, C. L. Martin, G. W. Decker, Paul Anderson, J. E. Liebig, J. W. Crawford, Frank Adams, C. E. Franbius, W. H. Adams, J. C. Clark, M. C. Cooper, T. H. Shedden, B. T. Beale, A. E. Schumacher and Charles P. Madden.
Santa Ana Canton won first prize in the class A contestants in the competitive drill at San Diego same weeks ago, and received therefor $150. The troops in class B are composed of 21 members—3 officers and 18 men, while class A has 24 officers and men. Stimulated by its success at San Diego, Canton No. 18 is going after even higher honors, and will compete for a prize at San Francisco during the session of the Sovereign Grand Lodge which will be held in that city Sept. 20 to 25. The Canton will leave on Saturday, Sept. 18, and will participate in the drills which will be held on Wednesday and Thursday, Sept. 22 and 23. They will compete with at least twenty teams, and judging from the specimen of their efficiency they gave us Friday night the team that wins in this contest will have to put up a perfect exhibition. Under the command of Captain Vestal the boys have been drilled to the efficiency of a crack military company, and their work on the pavement of Claudina street was absolutely flawless. They executed the intricate maneuvers with the precision of automatons, and not a single error was made during the hour's exhibition. Captain Vestal is a trained military man. He was second lieutenant in the Santa Ana company of the seventh regiment, California national guards, at the outbreak of the war with the Philippines, and left with his company for the Presidio at San Francisco en route to the hostile islands. Unfortunately he was stricken with typhoid fever at the Presidio and was invalided home, thereby losing his opportunity to help discipline the rebellious little brown
MISS ELLA HEITSHUSEN UNITED IN HOLY BONDS TO BLAKE SHAMBEAU
Sixty Guests Assemble To Witness Marriage Of Popular Young Couple
One of the notable society events of the summer season was the wedding Tuesday evening of Miss Ella Heitshusen, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. J. D. Heitshusen which occurred at the home of her parents at the corner of Charretres and North Claudina streets, at 7:30 o'clock. The bridegroom was Blake Shambeau of Los Angeles, a former resident of Fullerton.
Sixty wedding guests, friends of the bride and groom, were present, some of them coming from Los Angeles, Long Beach and Orange. The ceremony was performed in the parlor of the Heitshusen residence, which was decorated with asparagus ferns and pink and white carnations. The couple stood under a bell composed of flowers, while Rev. H. D. Schmelger, of the German Lutheran church, performed the ceremony.
The bride was attired in a gown of white Hungarian silk crepe, draped in white silk lace, with pearl trimming. She carried a bouquet of briall roses and illys of the valley. Her bridesmaids were Misses Ida Heitshusen and Paula Chimnitzer. The groom was supported by John Heitshusen and Melvin Solveson. The bridesmaids were attired in chiffon taffeta and their colors were yellow and pale green. Each carved bouquets of Ceilid Brunner roses. Little Olga Heitshusen was flower girl and scattered pink and white rose petals in the pathway of the bride.
Meacham's orchestra furnished the music for the occasion and furnished soul-stirring music. While the party was marching down the stairway the orchestra played the bridal chorus from Lohengrin, and during the ceremony the soft strains of "O Promise Me," were rendered. Afterward, while the party was passing out to the wedding feast, the orchestra played the wedding march from Lohengrin.
The wedding feast was held on the lawn, a portion of it having been enclosed with canvas. Innumerable electric lights were strwn about the cisco, Trustee George W. Hamler and Mrs. Hamler returned from the north Sunday. Mr. Hamler, Trustee Schneider, City Attorney Ames and City Engineer Steward were delegates sent north to represent Annheim at the league meeting, and they combined pleasure with business by seeing the fair after adjournment of the league.
Mr Hamler states that the sessions were extremely profitable to those who take an interest in municipal government. He was present during the entire five days and closely followed the discussions on municipal improvements by experts. The program was a most interesting one and the addresses profitable to those who heard them.
The opening address was given by A. E. Snow, mayor of Fresno, president of the Municipal League, which was followed by an address of welcome by John L. Davis, mayor of Oakland. The first speaker on the program was Ex-President William Howard Taft, who delivered a splendid address on "City Planning." Mr.Taft is thoroughly conversant with the subject. He was followed by W.J.Locke, president of the Bureau of Municipal Reform, of Alameda, whose subject was "Value of City Planning." Roy S.Smith, of New York city, vice-president of the American City Bureau, next spoke on "Preparing the Public for Progress."
On the following day the first thing on the program was an exhibition of the Diesel engine, by J.F.Byxbee, city engineer of Palo Alto. Next came an address on "Street Trees," by A.L.Hamilton, chairman of the Pasadena commissioners."Municipal Water Supply," was the subject of an address by William Mulholland of Los Angeles, the engineer who constructed the Owens River acqueduct."Joint Health Operation by Small Cities on Co-Operative Plan," by B.D.Mark Green of Antloch, was the next paper.
An eloquent address was given by L.A.Hardy, president of the Board of Public Work of Los Angeles, on "Expert Administration." Wallace Hatch of the University Extension Division, co-operated with him."Public Money" was the subject of H.A.Mason's address. Mr.Mason is the bond and ordinance expert of the board of supervisors of San Francisco. Claude L.Seviery, state tax commissioner, spoke on the same subject.
On Thursday the Municipal League was invited to participate in the parade at San Francisco given by
Captain Vestal is a trained military man. He was second lieutenant in the Santa Ana company of the seventh regiment, California national guards, at the outbreak of the war with the Philippines, and left with his company for the Presidio at San Francisco en route to the hostile islands. Unfortunately he was stricken with typhoid fever at the Presidio and was invalided home, thereby losing his opportunity to help discipline the rebellious little brown brothers across the sea. Captain Vestal is a perfectly trained military man, and he has succeeded in bringing his company to a high state of efficiency. The prizes offered at San Francisco to contestants in class B are, first $500, second $250, third $100. In class A the prizes are $1000, $750, and $500. Although there will be many competitors the boys confidently expect to land one of the prizes, and those who witnessed the drill Friday night believe they will bring home a prize.
The company has not yet decided whether to enter in Class A or class B at San Francisco.
B. T. Beale is the only Anaheimmer in the team, although there are six Odd Follows in Anaheim and Fullerton in the Santa Ana Canton, which has a membership of over eighty. There is a movement on foot to organize a canton here, and a good prospect that it will succeed. Twenty-one members are necessary, as a drill squad must be composed of three officers and eighteen men.
The Anaheim City band furnished music for the occasion and helped to entertain the large crowd of people who gathered to witness the drill. The company assembled first at Odd Fellows hall where the uniforms were donned, and marched to Claudina street headed by the band. After the band had rendered an inspiring tune the maneuvers began, and lasted almost an hour, the men going through soul-stirring music. While the party was marching down the stairway the orchestra played the bridal chorus from Lohengrin, and during the ceremony the soft strains of "O Promise Me," were rendered. Afterward, while the party was passing out to the wedding feast, the orchestra played the wedding march from Lohongrin.
The wedding feast was held on the lawn, a portion of it having been enclosed with canvas. Innumerable electric lights were strewn about the place which brilliantly lighted the scene. Here sixty guests sat down to the tables which were loaded with all the good things that Dick Heitshusen and his wife could think of. It was a jolly crowd and the banquet lasted for a couple of hours. At its close Mr. and Mrs. Shambeau left for Los Angeles where they will make their home in the Eastlake Park neighborhood.
The groom is a mechanical engineer in the employ of the Pacific Fruit Express company. He formerly lived at Fullerton, and is well known to the people of this region, being an industrious and prosperous young man. The bride is too well known to need introduction here. She has a host of friends in Anaheim and the surrounding country who will extend felicitations and wish her all manner of happiness in her new life.
The young couple will take their honeymoon trip early in October as it is impossible for the groom to leave his business at the present time. They will visit the fair at San Francisco and other points before returning to their home.
Mr. and Mrs. J. J. Schneider have returned from a two-weeks' visit to the San Francisco exposition. Mr. Schneider attended the meeting of the California League of Municipalities at Oakland, and reports a very pleasant trip north.
On Thursday the Municipal League was invited to participate in the parade at San Francisco given by the Native Sons. Thirty thousand people were in line, and by skillful maneuvering or good luck the auto consigned to Anaheim was near the head, being third from the military. A large banner, painted by F. K. Gresswell, was carried in the auto, and was frequently hailed by some Anaheimmer along the line of march. The parade started at the foot of Market street at 10 o'clock and wound up at the fair grounds at 1:15. The procession was so long, Mr. Hamler says, that the tall enders reached the grounds two hours after the Anaheim auto passed in. There were 172,000 people in the exposition that day, and half a million were on the street to witness the parade.
The visitors were royally treated by the people of Oakland. On Thursday the entire party was given a luncheon at the Oakland hotel at the expense of the city, and on Friday afternoon they were taken in autos through the city, viewing the new two million dollar city hall, the play grounds, the parks, and took a 40-mile ride on the skyline boulevard. The hhgi school children handed out bouquets to the visitors and postcards already stamped.
The exposition officials met them on Saturday, and led them to the California building with a military escort. In the reception hall F. H. Bartlett, mayor of Alameda, gave a review of the work of the league during the

Mr. Hamler states that the meeting was a profitable one, as many new ideas were promulgated. While he went north as a delegate to the Municipal League meeting, he also spent five days at the exposition, but he wants it understood, if it will take a load off the mind of "Taxpayer," who recently objected to his traveling at public expense, that while the city paid his way as delegate to the league, which he attended on public business, he dug into his own pocket for expense money at the fair and everywhere else.

C. O. Rust, proprietor of the Moho winery, began making wine and brandy Tuesday, and will continue a month or more, until there are no more grapes to crush.
The Moho winery is perhaps the oldest industrial institution in Anaheim. It was started in 1862 by Carl F. Rush, father of the present proprietor. Mr. Rust, the elder, was one of the fifty pioneers who came down from San Francisco and cast lot for the twenty-acre plots which composed the townsite of the Mother Colony. He drew the lot on Palm street on which the Rust residence and winery now stand. He planted his ground to vines and in 1862, fifty-three years ago, began the manufacture of wine. As it was the original intention of the colonists to plant vineyards and turn the fruit of the vine into wine. It is said that there were 47 wineries within in the boundaries of North, East, South and West streets in those early days, but the Moho and the T. J. F. Boege winery, which began at a little later date, are the only ones left of them. The vineyards, the hope of the pioneers have been gradually crowded out by the orange and the walnut. Carl F.. Rust died in 1867, six years after he founded the business, and for a number of years the plant remained idle, but in 1878 his son, C. O. Rust, opened it up again. He made a prosperous business of it and during the 37 years of his management has enlarged, improved and increased its capacity, and for more than a third of a century has been turning out the quality of product that has made the California grape famous. The Moho winery ships its goods to almost every state in the Union, and its name on a barrel or bottle is a guarantee of quality.
Mr. Rust does not grow his own grapes now.. He buys from other growers within carrying distance of Anaheim, and the varieties he handles are the Mission, the Zinfandel, the Carignan, the Muscat, and the Bergers. From these he turns out port, sherry, angelica, claret, Rlesling and Zinfandel wines. He also has a Sanders Improved Continuous still, installed in 1898, which turns out alcohol and brandy. This is the most perfect
Mr. Rust does not grow his own grapes now. He buys from other growers within carrying distance of Anaheim, and the varieties he handles are the Mission, the Zinfandel, the Carignan, the Muscat, and the Bergers. From these he turns out port, sherry, angelica, claret, Riesling and Zinfandel wines. He also has a Sanders Improved Continuous still, installed in 1898, which turns out alcohol and brandy. This is the most perfect still ever put on the market, although it was installed seventeen years ago there has been nothing to equal it invented since that date.
The new revenue laws passed by the last Congress have hit the industry pretty hard. Under the old law the revenue on spirits to fortify sweet wine was 3 cents per gallon. Under the new law this spirit is taxed 55 cents per gallon. Furthermore if the wine is sold to any person other than a dealer the manufacturer is compelled to affix revenue stamps to the amount of 8 cents per gallon thereon. If sold to a dealer the dealer affixes the stamps. This has been a hard blow to the wine industry, as the profit to the manufacturer is not large. As a consequence the Moho winery is making less sweet wine which has to be fortified.
The product of the Moho winery is equal to the best turned out by a state famed for its excellent wines. Mr. Rust is this week making shipments to New York and Pennsylvania, and wherever his product goes it meets with favor.
The season will last perhaps thirty days, but in that time the presses will crush hundreds of tons of grapes. The capacity of the Moho tanks is 125,000 gallons.
