Krause, Gerald Simpson, C. E. Holcomb, Wm. Alexander, John Cook, J. H. Whitaker, Henry M. Adams, C. E. Eygabroad, of this city and Messrs. A. S. Bradford and C. C. Chapman of Placentia. The congressmen were escorted to the Club rooms of the Mother Colony Club, where an informal reception was held, many citizens from the entire country side being present. A visit was also paid to the exhibit rooms of the board of trade in the Valencia Hotel building. In a letter recently received by Mr. Eygabroad from friends in Aberdeen, South Dakota, it was stated that all the business men were making preparations to observe Orange Day on March 10th, just passed, and that each firm was vying with each other to see who could put up the superior display of the golden fruit. That certainly was commendable. How many Southern California towns did likewise? Mr. Eygabroad suggests that Anaheim merchants display the fruit more extensively in their stores, especially at this time of year. Business houses located on Los Angeles street, upon which thoroughfare hundreds of out of town people travel every day have ideal locations for such displays, and it would be a grand advertisement for this section the home of the Valencia orange. Eastern tourists passing upon the state highway would be pleased to see clusters of citrus fruits artistically arranged in the show windows and the venture would be doubly profitable—advertising the merchant's place of business and this wonderful orange growing section. A few months ago a couple of young men arrived here looking for work and A. Bayliss has moved his building off the Salt Lake railway right of way, at the corner of Center and Atchison streets, to a lot on East Center, just west of Atchison, where Mr. and Mrs. Bayliss will make their residence. P. R. Donahoe who recently sent six boxes of Mediterranean Sweets from the Anaheim packing house to John A. Fairman of Pittsburg, is in receipt of a letter from that gentleman wherein he states that the oranges arrived in fine shape, being solid and nice, not one being bad or soft, which Mr. Fairman says is decidedly different from those sent from Florida by Jim Lowrie to the Pittsburg Post. Mr. Fairman said about one-half of the latter could not be used. Mr. Fairman and Mr. Lowrie are old time friends of Mr. Donahoe, the former being county recorder of Allegheny county. This is another evidence of the fact that oranges from this section are first class. A delightful surprise was given Mr. and Mrs. J. M. Morton a few nights ago when twenty-five of their friends motored out to their residence northeast of town to celebrate the thirty-third anniversary of their wedding. Many gifts were presented to Mr. and Mrs. Morton, the guests also carrying along refreshments, a beautiful large cake being the gift of Mr. and Mrs. George Bishop. The evening was spent with games and music. Nearly all the guests were friends of Mr. and Mrs. Morton in Junction City, Kansas. FOR SALE—Small Valencia orange grove in Anaheim; clear.

He told the young men to show up in the morning. That night it rained and the wetness kept falling for several days thereafter. The ground in consequence was too wet for potato digging. The young men were told to wait, and in the meantime Mr. Wallop left an order at a restaurant, standing good for the young men's meals. Again it rained, and the men were unable to begin work in the potato field, but were still eating at Wallop's expense. Their meals then totaled about $15, and fair weather prevailing. Wallop sought to locate his men, but they had left town, and he had to square accounts with the restaurant man. Several days later the two young men were arrested in an upstate city for the theft of an auto in this city, having driven away in the stolen car. They were later convicted and each sent to prison for five years. If they would have been honest and remained here and worked for a living as they agreed to do, they no doubt would now be free men. Mrs. C. A. Steele, accompanied by her son Ray, and daughter Maurine, stopped off Thursday and spent a few days with her father, Frank F. Davis. Mrs. Steele lives at Seattle, Wash., and was on her way home from a visit with friends in Manhattan, Kansas. FOR SALE—Small Valencia orange grove in Anaheim; clear.

Berger Realty company, and will again make his home in this city. He is a son of C. B. Berger. Mrs. V. M. Smith, mother of Mrs. F. B. Kealher, died at the Kealher home on Thursday, March 15, at the age of 71. Funeral services were held at Backs & Terry's undertaking parlors on Saturday. Mrs. Joe Wagner entertained the Alfun club one afternoon last week, Five Hundred being the chief amusement. The first prize was won by Mrs. Sam Newnes, the second by Mrs. E. J. Hartung. A two-course luncheon was served at the close of the games. Mrs. L. R. Williams and her sister, Mrs. Belle Brown, came in Thursday from Pittsburg, Pa. Mrs. Williams will again make here home here, but Mrs. Brown will return to the east after an extended visit. Mrs. Williams left here last fall with her husband, Capt. L. R. Williams, on a visit to their old home in Pittsburg. Shortly after their arrival there the captain was taken ill and died within a few days. On the third page of this paper will be found condensed statements of the condition of the First National and the American Savings banks at the close of business on March 5. The statement shows that the combined T. L. Longworth has secured the agency for the Maxwell automobile, one of the most popular cars on the road. He is also agent for the Oakland. George A. Peck has moved his family down from Los Angeles, having secured a residence at the corner of Broadway and Illinois streets. Peck & Colby begin today remodeling the interior of their store. Plate glass windows will be put in front, the office will be extended, and a complete transformation made. C. B. Berger, toastmaster at today's luncheon, has secured F. Grant White a leading Chicago attorney to address the meeting. People who fail to attend these luncheons are missing rare treats. All the Placentia packing houses were obliged to close last week on account of the shortage of cars. On Tuesday four empties were allotted to Placentia, and ten could have been loaded. Station Agent Leavitt says the Santa Fe distributor in Los Angeles had orders on file for 600 more cars than he could furnish. Miss Rose Clabaugh, who has recently finished a course in voice culture, under the tutelage of a well known instructor in Los Angeles, sang at a local theatre Friday evening, with piano accompaniment. Miss Clabaugh possesses a soprano voice of rare charm, and was so enthusiastically applauded by the large audience that the young lady was compelled to respond to an encore. While here visiting the family of his brother-in-law, Charles Eygabroad, E.A. Wilmsen of Hada, South Dakota, purchased a ranch of G.M. Simpson and Miss Mary Stoner of South English, Iowa, was visiting a few days last week with Mr. and Mrs., C.S.Troutman. She is an old Iowa friend of the family. Mrs. Perdomo is erecting a bungalow of modern design upon her property on North Philadelphia street, the same to be used for renting purposes. C.C.Davis returned Thursday from Manhattan, Kansas, where he went two weeks ago to bury his father, Albert Davis. Walter Mickel, who has been laid up with an attack of la grippe, is now convalescing. Walt's many friends hope to see him soon again regain his former good health. Mr. and Mrs.H.W.Braden have returned to this city and will make their permanent home here. They have travelled extensively throughout the state, and in all their travels found no place that suited them better than Anaheim.Welcome! A gentleman who is always doing the best he can to bring oranges into universal use, was telling some of his friends the other day that the good wife had just prepared an orange pie for dinner that really was the best he had ever eaten. Six oranges to a pie is about the proper portion, and seasoned to taste, make a pie that is delicious. It is desired that anyone having choice fruits that samples be sent to the board of trade for exhibition purposes. The same will be properly labelled with the names of donors affixed and other articles which would make suitable displays would be cheerfully received. Many strangers visit the exhibition rooms daily and a good display of products will be of decided extended visit. Mrs. Williams left here last fall with her husband, Capt. L. R. Williams, on a visit to their old home in Pittsburg. Shortly after their arrival there the captain was taken ill and died within a few days. On the third page of this paper will be found condensed statements of the condition of the First National and the American Savings banks at the close of business on March 5. The statement shows that the combined resources of the two institutions are $1,130,608.86. The deposits aggregate $927,999.51, which is $121,000 greater than the total deposits shown by the last previous statement. This is a remarkable increase, and indicates that business can expand even in cramped quarters. The new building is nearing completion, and soon the two banks will be at home in the most beautiful banking house in Orange county. The advisability of making Anaheim a city of the fifth class is being discussed by many citizens, who believe that the best interests of the city would be subserved by so doing. We have the required population, the recent census taken by the board of trustees placing the figures at 5300, five thousand and being required before the people could petition for the change. The proposition was informally discussed at the board of trade meeting the other evening, and several speakers were heartily in favor of taking immediate steps to move Anaheim up another rung on the municipal ladder. Local boosters are congratulating themselves upon the fine manner in which the reception tendered the visiting congressional committee was supervised. The ladies and gentlemen were extended every courtesy and their short stay was made as pleasant as possible. Autos were provided and the visitors were taken upon sight seeing excursions through our orange groves, and the Easterners were delighted. Anaheim citizens are royal entertainers and never miss an opportunity to give visiting strangers the best in the house, and the latch-string always hangs out. The river protection committee is actively engaged in formulating plans to organize a protection district in conjunction with the people of Yorba. The line will extend from the Yorba bridge to the Olive bridge, and as far at a local theatre Friday evening, with piano accompaniment. Miss Clabaugh possesses a soprano voice of rare charm, and was so enthusiastically applauded by the large audience that the young lady was compelled to respond to an encore. While here visiting the family of his brother-in-law, Charles Eygabroad, E. A. Wilmsen of Hada, South Dakota, purchased a ranch of G. M. Simpson at the corner of Placentia avenue and South streets. The grove consists of eleven acres of two-year-old Valencias. The trade was made through Eygabroad & Fisher, real estate agents. Mr. Wilsem has returned to South Dakota, but expects to return and make his home on the ranch. A gentleman who raises a considerable quantity of small fruits, suggests that the board of trade take a strong stand for the erection of a cannery in this city. At times much fruit goes to waste, and were a cannery in operation, all surplus products could be advantageously used. All kinds of vegetables could also be used for canning purposes, and there seems to be no good reason why such an enterprise would not be a paying investment. Besides a cannery would create a payroll, one of the important units that go to make up a prosperous community. H. M. Adams was instrumental in passing out samples of Crawford's marmalade around the banquet table upon the occasion of the recent visit of the congressional committee. Mr. Adams did not count on such a large crowd being present, and the limited supply of glass jars which he had on hand were readily exhausted, so great was the demand for them. The marmalade is wholesome and delicious and every one who has tasted it says it is fine. The Lafolet club was entertained by Miss Ida Heitsheusen at her home on Hermina street Thursday evening, the pastime being progressive whist. Miss Mae Frahm won the first prize and Miss Ella Frahm the second. Those present were Mrs. Shambeau, of Los Angeles, sister of the hostess, Mrs. McGregor of Los Angeles, Misses Ethel Harlin, Margaret Junge, Kate Cordes, Elsie Hinze, Margaret Schwartzer, Elsie Meinicke, Mae and Ella Frahm, Missie Heitsheusen Luce, Elsie and It is desired that anyone having choice fruits that samples be sent to the board of trade for exhibition purposes. The same will be properly labelled with the names of donors affixed and other articles which would make suitable displays would be cheerfully received. Many strangers visit the exhibition rooms daily and a good display of products will be of decided advantage to the section. The Sixteen club was entertained at the home of Mrs. Grace Adkins last Tuesday, Mrs. Anna Dickerson being the hostess. The high score in the Five Hundred games was made by Mrs. J. C. Calloway, the second by Mrs. J. W. Sackett and the third by Mrs. L. Dahlman. St. Patrick's colors were used in the decorations. Refreshments were served by the hostess. A heavy round piece of steel, oval in shape, about as big around as a dishpan, upon the surface of which gilded arrows point in semi-circles, which way it is desired traffic is to pass, has been placed at the intersection of Los Angeles and Chartres streets. The guide is fastened to the pavement, and bears the inscription, in gilt letters, "Safety". By following the arrows autoists will be kept on the right track, and should there be no cutting corners and no fast driving, accidents will be reduced to a minimum. Under the call for statements of condition at the close of business on March 5, four of Anaheim's five banks have published the official figures in this paper, the German American last week and the Anaheim National, First National and American Savings bank in this issue. All of them show wonderful increases in business over former statements. The combined deposits in the four banks is $1,693,297.92. With the deposits in the Southern County bank the total in Anaheim banks will probably reach two million dollars. This certainly indicates that the people of Anaheim are prospering. The holding of a Valencia orange show in Anaheim, the date to be fixed some time during June or July, has been receiving much encouragement in this city, and the project has been discussed in the meeting of the board The river protection committee is actively engaged in formulating plans to organize a protection district in conjunction with the people of Yorba. The line will extend from the Yorba bridge to the Olive bridge, and as far south and west as the committee thinks best to extend the same. Local committeemen have been in consultation with the Yorba people and an amicable adjustment of the situation will no doubt be arrived at. Anaheim has secured a clear right of way for the new channel along its entire river frontage, and it is desired that Yorba do likewise within their area. Representatives from both sections will take the matter up with the board of supervisors informally and endeavor to arrive at a satisfactory solution of the matter before taking definite steps regarding the district's formation. It is understood that the supervisors favor the district as outlined. The gap in the west bank, south of the Olive bridge, has been a bone of contention, but it would appear that stretch of the river would rightfully come in the lines of the Garden Grove people, whom it is said, contemplate forming a protection district of their own. By dredging a new channel and fortifying the west bank, it is contended that no more trouble would be experienced during excessive rainfall, which seems to come in cycles of a decade. That the river bed should be put in shape to carry off the flood water when it comes is admitted by all, and citizens who have made a careful study of the situation, maintain that the only remedy lies in forming a local district to prosecute the work. The Lafolet club was entertained by Miss Ida Heitsheusen at her home on Hermina street Thursday evening, the pastime being progressive whist. Miss Mae Frahm won the first prize and Miss Ella Frahm the second. Those present were Mrs. Shambeau, of Los Angeles, sister of the hostess, Mrs. McGregor of Los Angeles, Misses Ethel Harlin, Margaret Junge, Kate Cordes, Elsie Hinze, Margaret Schwartzer, Elsie Meinicke, Mae and Ella Frahm, Minnie Heitsheusen, Lucy, Elsie and Mabel Ziegler. It was a joyous occasion when Mrs. J. A. Willson of Santa Ana, for twenty-five years a neighbor of Congressman and Mrs. Lemuel E. Padgett in Columbia, Tennessee, met them for the first time since she left Columbia, eighteen years ago and came to California. The meeting occurred at Anaheim Thursday, Mrs. Willson accompanying Secretary J. C. Metzgar of the chamber of commerce to meet the congressional party which spent the day in a tour of the county, and were entertained by the Anaheim board of trade. Mrs. Willson, wife of the former Santa Ana city recorder, was born in Brownsville, Tennessee, but lived for a long period in Columbia, where Mr. and Mrs. Padgett made their home, and teh two families were associated together in considerable church and charity work. Mr. Padgett was elder in the church and superintendent of the Sunday school which Mrs. Willson, then Mrs. Jackson, attended, and she and Mrs. Padgett were close friends in the society work of the church. Ashleigh and Clarence Chamberlain came down from Pasadena to spend Saturday and Sunday with their parents. They celebrated their birthday Saturday night by entertaining a number of friends. The holding of a Valencia orange show in Anaheim, the date to be fixed some time during June or July, has been receiving much encouragement in this city, and the project has been discussed in the meeting of the board of trade. Many citizens are of the opinion that the Valencia show would be an event that could easily be made to grow into an annual celebration. The Valencia orange is at its best when all other fruits are out of the way, and the venture has many advocates. It is said the initial cost for the show would amount to about $5000. However, there are those among the citizens of the city who oppose holding the show this year, claiming that the task would be too big an undertaking unless all orange growers should join in with the business men and make the show something that would attract visitors from all over the Southland. A gentleman who attended a movie picture show the other evening, dressed up in his best suit of clothes, happened to land in a seat upon which had been placed a large wad of gum, that previously had been thoroughly champed, presumably by some young charmer. When the gentleman desired to take his leave he felt a tugging at the seat of his trousers and found to his dismay that he was firmly anchored. By dexteriously removing the wad of gum by the prying process the gentleman was able to leave the building with his trousers intact, but which he later had to send to the cleaner for repair.

Adams suggests that the board of trade erect four large sign boards, the same to be placed at the city limits on each end of Los Angeles and Center streets, upon which shall be emunerated a list of manufactories now in operation in this city. Passers-by could then see at a glance what we have in that line. By giving the total output of each industry, and the money annually expended for their operation, would give strangers an idea as to the magnitude of each. By so doing it may be the means of inducing other capitalists to invest their money in enterprises of a manufacturing nature here. We have abundance of cheap fuel at our doors, plenty of water, and shipping facilities are good and will no doubt be a great deal better the coming year, as a new steam railway is now being constructed that will be in operation within the year. There are many enterprises that could be successfully operated here provided the right parties handled them. Several manufactories that have been inaugurated the past two or three years, beginning upon a small scale have constantly grown in their outputs and all are in a flourishing financial condition. What these gentlemen have accomplished in their respective lines, others may emulate Mr. Adams' suggestion is a good one, and the board of trade could materially advance Anaheim's best interests by encouraging the building of new projects, and likewise establishing payrolls. Dr. M. M. Henderson, Dentist, Suite 1, Mullinix Bldg., Anaheim. Miss Lillian Wipperman of Pomona was visiting last week with Miss Mabel Ziegler. Mr. and Mrs. C. O. Servatius and children and Mrs. Henon visited Owensmouth Sunday. Clarence Beebe came down from Los Angeles and visited friends over Sunday. Buck Beebe is once more getting into the headlines. In the meet between U. S. C. and Pomona college at Claremont Saturday Buck won the half-mile with ease, and was second in the quarter mile run. The Five Hundred club was entertained last week by Mr. and Mrs. Percy Rust. Mrs. C. L. Mecham won the first prize, Mrs. W. H. Brown second, while Fred Hudson received the consolation. Fred Heying, A. H., Oscar and Ernest Heying, motored to Bakersfield and Hanford Thursday on business. F. L. Stolce, representing the Perfection Auto Window company of Los Angeles was in town Tuesday on business. Mr. Stolce is an expert automobile and carriage top maker, and he was much surprised to learn that there was no industry of that kind in Anaheim. He thinks it would be a prosperous business here, and may possibly open a shop or recommend the town to some person who will. Such a business would be a welcome addition to our industries. Mrs. Simon Lybarger and her daughter, Mrs. E. J. Hartung, entertained the Eastern Star Whist club at Masonic hall Friday afternoon. The hall was decorated in honor of St. St. Patrick, the emerald color prevailing. Mrs. Q. A. Mullinix won first prize, Mrs. J. C. Calloway second, Mrs. Zitzmann third, Mrs. Mc Cann fourth and Mrs. Chas. Mann fifth. A three course luncheon was served by the hostesses. It was an enjoyable entertainment for all.
