VALENGIA ORANGE SHOW TO BE HELD HERE ANAHEIM BOARD OF TRADE HEARTLY ENDORSES PROJECT—TO BE HELD IN JUNE OR JULY F. C. KRAUSE ENDORSED FOR CHAIRMAN OF ASSOCIATED CHAMBERS OF COMMERCE A proposition was launched at the board of trade meeting Monday night that will mean much for this city and vicinity. It is proposed to hold an "Anaheim Valencia Show" to be held here either in June or July. Other cities have had shows of various kinds but it remains for Anaheim to hold a Valencia show, for this is the home of that fruit. The project had been suggested by John Ziegler, and was so good that immediately other gentlemen voiced favorable approval. One man said it was the best thing he had heard for ten years. the formation of the Anaheim district. Prof. Prince addressed the board in reference to the adoption of two bills now before the legislature effecting high school districts. The bills are classed as being beneficial and were endorsed. Prof. Prince stated there was no doubt of these bills receiving favorable consideration at the hands of the law makers. One of the bills, No. 477, provides for the annexation of elementary school districts. The other, No. 515, relates to the organization of high school districts and county junior college districts. The board of trade endorsed the Chautauqua, which it is proposed to have come to this city in the near future. Gerald Simpson said already 65 people in Anaheim had endorsed the Chautauqua movement, and he advocated the endorsement of the project by the board of trade. The session will last for seven days and will be largely attended. It was ordered that the bill, recently presented by Frank Davis, in the amount of $300, which that gentleman claimed was due him for labor performed on the river in 1915, be returned to him with the statement that the board of trade had no jurisdiction in the matter. It was unanimously carried that the Anaheim board of trade endorse F. C. Krause for chairman of the associated Orange County Board of Trade.

It is proposed to hold an "Anaheim Valencia Show" to be held here either in June or July. Other cities have had shows of various kinds but it remains for Anaheim to hold a Valencia show, for this is the home of that fruit. The project had been suggested by John Ziegler, and was so good that immediately other gentlemen voiced favorable approval. One man said it was the best thing he had heard for ten years. All the prominent Valencia orange growers will be asked to assist in making the show a success. Gerald W. Sandilands was named as chairman of the executive committee and he will appoint his aides. Everyone present became imbued with the fine idea advanced and every citizen in Anaheim will get behind the Valencia Show and boost it along. It is going to be something out of the ordinary, and it is proposed to make the show an annual event. Mr. Krause reported that the recently talked of cotton mill was purely visionary and J. W. Duckworth said there was nothing to it at all, and so the matter was dropped. Herman Noll reported the committee on entertainment had come out even on the annual banquet, and suggested that a vote of thanks be extended the ladies of the Eastern Star. It was so ordered. It is the request of the board of trade that anyone having exhibits of fruit that the same be sent to the exhibition room. It will be greatly appreciated. The eradication of junk piles within the business section was discussed, but it was stated the elimination of these unsightly mounds is a difficult thing to accomplish. You cannot tell a man whot to do with his own property, as long as he commits no nuisance. However, special committees will wait upon some of the owners of property where the junk piles exist and use their best endeavors to have the junk removed or put under cover. It was the consensus of opinion that the board oppose assembly bill 248, which provides to eliminate appropriations by supervisors for advertising purposes. It was ordered that everybody write to the representatives at Sacramento asking them to vote against the bill. It was stated that 2700 new bills have been introduced in the legislature, many of which should be defeat- It was ordered that the bill, recently presented by Frank Davis, in the amount of $300, which that gentleman claimed was due him for labor performed on the river in 1915, be returned to him with the statement that the board of trade had no jurisdiction in the matter. It was unanimously carried that the Anaheim board of trade endorse F. C. Krause for chairman of the associated chambers of commerce of Orange county. The appointment is to be made at the next meeting of that body. Mr. Krause has the solid endorsement of this city for the appointment. Mr. Armitage of Sunset Beach will also be a candidate. A communication was received from the Orange County Associated Chambers of Commerce, wherein it was stated that body had endorsed the coast state highway to traverse from a point in Ventura county to San Juan by the Sea. They wished endorsement also from the local board of trade. A bill is now pending in the legislature providing for its construction, costing $500,000, of which sum the state pays half, and the three counties—Ventura, Los Angeles and Orange—pay the remainder. Each of the counties pays its prorata of mileage of road constructed. The bill seems feasible and it was endorsed, one lone member from the north side voting a mild nay. Fred Gresswell reported having visited the National Orange Show at San Bernardino, saying it was good, but he believed Anaheim could go them one better. Mr. Gresswell has spent 45 years in the advertising game and found out that a neat little sticker which he passed out attracted more attention than anything he has seen in many a day. J. H. Whitaker also attended the show and said, besides the oranges, which he pronounced fine, San Berdoo has many pretty girls. Fred Backs asked in reference as to why the street lights in the outlying districts had been ordered turned off at midnight. Mr. Stark stated that the city trustees had in view the lowering of rates for electric lights and time would work many changes, in the way of illuminating the city. By the cheaper rates more lights will doubtless be used. Mr. Stark asked that the people of this city have patience, and all would be well.

It was stated that 2700 new bills have been introduced in the legislature, many of which should be defeated. Mr. Eygabroad made an extended report upon river protection, the main feature of which was that the right of way from the bend in the river to the bridge was in possession of the committee, and it was valuable. Since the United Storm Water District had been knocked out in the appellate court, he advised that Anaheim form a district of its own, thereby holding the right of way, which would revert back to the owners, unless a new district was formed. The Garden Grove people have decided to form a protection district of their own, and the same is said of the Yorba people. It now remains for Anaheim to do likewise. We would only have to care for the west bank from the bend to the Olive bridge, which is not a very great distance, being about 1¼ miles. Competent authority has given the information that the channel and dike can be built for $10,000 per mile. This city has a large territory to raise this small amount of money, and it was suggested that the work proceed. It was ordered that a committee be appointed to at once form a new district as outlined. Mr. Eygabroad was named as chairman of the committee and he named John Kellenberger and Engineer O. E. Steward as members of the committee. The gentlemen will circulate petitions at once, asking for MRS. ADELHEID KOENIG BECOMES A BRIDE Married on Washington's Birthday to Anton Schulte of Escondido Mrs. Adelheid Koenig, one of Anaheim's oldest residents, was married at Sierra Madre on Thursday, February 22, to Anton Schulte of Escondido. The marriage was performed by Rev. M. W. Marth, rector of St. Teresa church. Mr. Barth is a brother-in-law of the groom. Mrs. Koenig came to Anaheim with her husband, William Koenig, when the town was young. She resided here many years, but for the past few years has been making her home at San Francisco and Los Angeles, although she still retains her property interests here. Mr. Schulte has been living with his son at Escondido for three years past, his former home being at Mitchell, Iowa, where he resided 46 years. For several terms he was sheriff of Mitchell county, and he served four years as United States marshal for Northern Iowa. The bride and groom are of the same age—71 years. Flavel Smith, an employee at Peck & Colby's was married Saturday to Miss Lutie Amos of Long Beach. The young couple will make their home on Lincoln avenue. Mr. Stark stated that the city trustees had in view the lowering of rates for electric lights and time would work many changes, in the way of illuminating the city.

That Anaheim needs a new municipal building is admitted by all. The thing to do now is to get the people united. A city park is also a thing devoutly to be wished and it is the determination of the trustees to get one or both. A modern city hall upon the present site on East Center street, or a city hall with a suitable park of not too large dimensions in a block close in, and upon the state highway, are the two vital properties. men's time in going to and from work about the city, they decided to lay the matter over for future consideration. The city attorney was instructed to prepare an informal notice, which is to be sent to all property owners upon whose premises open vaults are kept. The purpose is to have all premises within the prescribed area connected up with the sewerage system. The application of John Brunworth for city water for his East street property was granted, and the engineer of the powerhouse was instructed to install the water service at once. Engineer Adams brought up the matter of furnishing electric juice to wireless apparatus maintained by a young man living near East street. A special transformer will have to be installed for this purpose in order to relieve the "jerks" in the lighting service of the neighbors while the young man operates his wireless apparatus. The engineer recommended that the transformer be installed, in order to forestall any complaints from users of light, which will surely follow, should the wireless be continued to be used as at present. The transformers will cost about $40, and as the rate charged will be $3 per annum, the investment was considered just and was ordered put in.

HARR District T MURDOCH HENRY PURCHASESCITY PROPERTY STOCKTON CAPITALIST MAKES INVESTMENT HERE, AND LOOKS FOR OTHER PURCHASES LOCATED HERE FIRST IN 1868, AND WILL MAKE CITY PERMANENT HOME Murdoch Henry of Stockton, brother of Alexander Henry of this city, has purchased from Henry Hussman the property on West Center street between Los Angeles and Lemon, 30x175 feet, upon which there is a brick building. Mr. Henry is a gentleman of large means, and is looking at other properties in the center of the city, with a view to making other purchases. He was formerly a resident here, and while residing in the north for a number of years, will probably return to locate permanently. He leaves in a day or two for Stockton, where he owns a large stock ranch near that The engineer recommended that the transformer be installed, in order to forestall any complaints from users of light, which will surely follow, should the wireless be continued to be used as at present. The transformers will cost about $40, and as the rate charged will be $3 per annum, the investment was considered just and was ordered put in. In some cities it is said these special transformers are furnished free, in order to encourage the young men who are endeavoring to fathom the mysteries of the wireless. Engineer Adams also suggested the purchase of one or perhaps two large transformers to be installed in the downtown lighting district, as the service is growing rapidly. The same cost $300 apiece. The smaller ones now in use there could be transferred to other parts of the city where the service is not so great. The city's contract price for transformers expires the 28th of this month, and the board looked with favor upon the engineer's recommendation and the new transformers will be purchased. The trustees informally discussed the lowering of the electric light rate to consumers, also the power rate now in effect. It is confidently believed that the light rate can be reduced to 6 cents per kilowat. It is now 7 cents. The power rate of two cents as charged by the Edison company to local consumers, will no double be maintained by the city, when it gets underway its new electric juice service which is to be furnished them by the new deal with the Edison company. It is the purpose of the trustees to give all users of light and power the lowest rate possible, and as the volume increases the rate will be automatically reduced." The trustees want to see more lights used at night and will encourage that practice among private citizens who desire to have better and more lights, especially upon their porches and passageways leading to their residences. They are advocating a more brilliantly lighted city, and the more better, for their is nothing that adds to a city's beauty at night than myriads of electric lights. It is within the range of possibility that the larger users of light will be given a cheapened rate, in order to encourage the use of the service, thereby also helping the smaller consumer. The board discussed the advisability of making the minimum rate 75 cents per month. The trustees have maintained from property on West Center street between Los Angeles and Lemon, 30x175 feet, upon which there is a brick building. Mr. Henry is a gentleman of large means, and is looking at other properties in the center of the city, with a view to making other purchases. He was formerly a resident here, and while residing in the north for a number of years, will probably return to locate permanently. He leaves in a day or two for Stockton, where he owns a large stock ranch near that city, and is now training a number of horses for the state fair at Sacramento. He finds a number of old time friends here, who knew him in the early days, and who still entertain for him a high sense of personal regard. He notes many changes in this city and says that Anaheim looks better to him than any city he has seen in California. Mr. Henry first came to this city in 1868. He came from Glasgow on the sailing ship Achievement, the vessel consuming five and a half months on the voyage around the Horn. The Achievement loaded with wheat for her return voyage, and was wrecked on the Irish coast, when within a short distance of her home port. Mr. Henry lived here until 1877, when he went to San Francisco and engaged in the grocery business on Sutter street, near Kearney. He returned and lived here for three years and a half, and then went to Haywards, where he lived eighteen years. He later moved to Stockton where he purchased a large stock ranch and has since resided there. He always considered this section the garden spot of California, and returns after the absence of many years with a view to making this city his permanent home. He has made a considerable investment here, and will probably make other investments. He has met a warm welcome on the part of his many old-time friends, and declares he will return to Stockton to close out his business interests there and come to this city to make his future home here. His brother, Alexander Henry, has continuously resided here since coming in 1867, and is one of the most popular pioneers of Orange county.

The ordinance was referred back for correction to include a further list of second hand articles bought and sold, principally of which will be walnuts. It is said that many thefts of walnuts are made during the picking season, and which in many instances are sold to junk dealers, and it is the object of the trustees to reduce these sales to a minimum. Trustee Cook, who had been appointed as a special committeeman to buy several hundred young orange trees, reported that he had purchased 300 two-year-old trees from Mr. Baxter for 75 cents apiece. Approved. New insurance policies for the power house plant were presented, and the same were accepted and filed. A communication was received from the Southern Pacific railway company in reference to giving the city an easement for a sewer right of way across Adams street. One provision stipulates that the company reserves the power to order the sewer removed or altered should that be deemed necessary in the future. It is said that this clause is contained in all rights of way granted by the company, in that, should the corporation desire to erect a building upon that particular spot the sewerage pipes would necessarily have to be removed or altered. In the present case that contingency is remote. The purpose of the right of way is to give the city opportunity to connect up property in the extension of the sewers to the western section. A local agent appeared before the board in reference to the sale of a small motor car for use at the power house. The same could be equipped with a body for a large carrying capacity. While the trustees believed the car would be an advantage, by reducing city, and the more better, for their is nothing that adds to a city's beauty at night than myriads of electric lights. It is within the range of possibility that the larger users of light will be given a cheapened rate, in order to encourage the use of the service, thereby also helping the smaller consumer. The board discussed the advisability of making the minimum rate 75 cents per month. The trustees have maintained from the outset that they would give the city a cheaper lighting service by making a contract with the Edison company, and to that end they are now working. FOOT CRUSHED O. Dietrich, a Santa Fe brakeman, residing in San Bernardino, suffered the loss of one foot in an accident Sunday in the Orange yards. Dietrich was one of the crew of a freight train that was switching in the yards there about 7:20 a.m. He stepped in front of a slow moving box car to adjust its coupler to fit properly into the coupler of another car that it was about to strike. Slipping on the wet ground, he fell with one leg across a rail and the wheels crushed his foot. The task Dietrich was performing was a very common one and held no particular danger had he not lost his footing. The slippery ground was responsible for the mishap. The injured man was taken as quickly as possible to the Santa Fe hospital in Los Angeles. It was found necessary to amputate the mangled foot. Al G. Barnes' big animal circus is billed for Orange Saturday, March 10. VEGETABLE GARDENS ON VACANT LOTS High Cost of Living can be Reduced If People Take Advantage of Opportunities Because of the shortage of vegetables, or at least the exorbitant prices at which thy are sold, officials and newspapers throughout the state are urging the people of the cities and towns to raise crops on every available piece of vacant ground. While the outrageous prices are caused partially by the enormous shipments of foodstuffs to Europe, the chief reason of the phenomenal rise is that unscrupulous dealers and speculators are hoarding up supplies and holding their stores until they can demand a yet higher price. It is estimated that if all the ground in the various towns now lying idle would be utilized in producing something edible the corner in foodstuffs would be smashed, and the speculators would be forced to reduce prices to a normal figure. Abundance of such vegetables as potatoes, beans, cabbage, cauliflower, artichokes, onions and other staples could be raised on city lots, and a well-kept vegetable garden is infinitely more sightly and pleasing to the eye than an overgrown weed patch. Besides these vegetable gardens would give the town a more thrifty appearance. Anaheim has caught the inspiration to a limited extent, and certain persons who are foresighted enough to HENRY ESCITY BERTY LIST MAKES HERE, AND OTHER MESES IN IN 1868, AND PERMAN-IME stockton, brother of this city, has by Hussman the enter street be- Lemon, 30x175 is a brick build- a gentleman ofooking at other outer of the city, other purchases. resident here, and north for a num- bably return to He leaves in a ktton, where he branch near that take advantage of opportunities that present themselves, are utilizing vacant ground and making it productive.

Under existing conditions not a foot of productive soil should be permitted to lie idle when, with a little exertion, it can be made to yield its share of food. DR. HARVEY-S HEARING POSTPONED TO MARCH 19 District Attorney's Office Too Busy To Handle It Tuesday The preliminary hearing of Dr. C. W. Harvey, who was arrested in this city on Saturday, February 17, on a charge of causing the death of Mrs. Tennie V.

Morrow of the Telephone Company Pays Decided Compliment To Our City E. S. Morrow, district manager of the Pacific Telephone and Telegraph company, was in this city a few days ago on a business mission. Mr. Morrow stated that Anaheim has made improvements in the telephone service—by way of installation of new phones—than any city in any county, throughout the Southland, excepting only Los Angeles. That is conclusive evidence that this city is growing. Other evidences are at hand to substantiate that contention, all of which is encouraging. Another gentleman recently from Colorado, who visited here stated that he saw more substantial improvements going on right here than he witnessed at any place upon his travels through the western fringe of states through which he passed. Anaheim is ideally located, has a fine climate, the only place on the map where Valencia oranges can be successfully grown, has no use for amudre roe or hot alm artists, and is candidate for appointment to the naval academy at Annapolis. He was one of a class of eight, and was the only one from this congress district, the other seven being from Los Angeles. On the same day examinations were also held at San Diego. The papers submitted by the candidates were forwarded to Washington, and are expected to be graded and returned within three weeks. Two months ago, when the initial examination was held at San Bernardino by direction of Congressman Kettner for the purpose of filling vacancies, Quarton was graded as first alternate of the fifty-three young men who were ambitious to join Uncle Sam's navy. At that time only three cadets from each congressional district were permitted under the law, but congress has since amended the law giving each district four, consequently congressmen will make four appointments from the class examined at San Bernardino. At the final examination at Los Angeles Quarton was the only one from this congress district present. His principal, F. C. Cotton, did not appear, but he might have been at San Diego, as examinations were being held in that city at the same time. In addition to the fact that he stands on the list as first alternate there is no question of his passing the physical test, should he qualify for the appointment. This examination is a rigid one, and it is the rock on which the hopes of many young men, who strive for admission to Annapolis or West Point, are wrecked. Quarton was one of the foremost athletes of the Anaheim high school during his four year course, and has always kept himself in perfect physical condition. After graduating with the class of '16 he entered Pomona college where he is taking a course in electrical engineering. He will be 19 years old next April. He was born in Minnesota and for 16 years has resided with his parents in this city. Quarton's many friends here are hoping that he will secure the appointment and eventually become one of Uncle Sam's naval officers. His selection would be an honor to himself and family, a satisfaction to his friends, and would also reflect credit upon the town. It is not known here how many young men took the final examinations in San Diego, but in view of the fact that Quarton was the only one from this congress district at the Los An- Another gentleman recently from Colorado, who visited here stated that he saw more substantial improvements going on right here than he witnessed at any place upon his travels through the western fringe of states through which he passed. Anaheim is ideally located, has a fine climate, the only place on the map where Valencia oranges can be successfully grown, has no use for smudge pots, or hot air artists, and is a place that can conscientiously be recommended by any one to the intending home builder. ORANGE COUNTY MEN CREATE A SENSATION Appear at Banquet Wearing Potatoes For Badges and are Almost Mobbed J. H. Whitaker, J. C. Metzgar and C. R. Allen, secretaries respectively of the Anaheim, Santa Ana and Fullerton boards of trade, created a sensation when they marched into the hall where the Secretaries' association of Southern California was being held at Rialto Saturday. Each was wearing a small potato pinned on the lapel of his coat, and the Orange county secretaries were immediately dubbed the millionaire squad. They had some difficulty defending their valuable property, as a rush was made for the spuds by less fortunate members. The local representatives also pulled off another stunt that made Orange county conspicuous. Each carried a pocketfull of the new stickers bearing the motto of the Associated Chambers, "Orange County—Nature's Prolific Wonderland," and these they proceeded to stick wherever they could find a place, convenient or otherwise.
