PIONEER OF CITY ANSWERS LAST SUMMONS FREDERICK A. HARTMAN DIES AT HIS HOME IN LOS ANGELES FRIDAY Son of One of the Founders of the City, Who Perished in the Great Flood of 1862—Spent Several Years in Mexico, but Returned to Anaheim in 1866—Built the Beautiful Gateway at the Entrance of the Anaheim Cemetery—Ashes Deposited in Family Mausoleum Here. Frederick A. Hartman, member of the colony of hardy pioneers who founded the city of Anaheim, died at his home at 926 West Washington Street, Los Angeles, last Friday, at the age of 79, leaving two sons, Fred C. and Adolph Hartman, and a sister Miss Amy Hartman. Mr. Hartman was the son of Jacob Hartman, one of the fifty pioneers who purchased the desert ground on which Anaheim now stands, and colonized it in 1857.

An-added attraction was given in the early part of the evening by the Fire Retardent Products Co., when two small houses, one treated with their paint were burnt on the Beach. The Banquet was held at 6:30 P.M. at the Hotel Virginia about five hundred attending. A very interesting program was held after the banquet in the Ball room. Address of welcome by Mayor C. A. Buffum, of Long Beach; response by C. W. Pinkerton, president State Ass'n; An act was given by Saw Dust Club of Pasadena which was preceded by a talk on Pasadena by State Senator Johnson; a group of humorous songs by Eric Green; a very interesting address was given by Geo. La Shell, followed by a two act play by the Los Angeles Hoo Hoo Club; a military drill was given by five little lassies from Mrs. McAdams' school, and a Spanish dance by the Queen of them all; a quartette from the Glee Club of Orange County Lumber Club gave several numbers; imitation of birds by Elmer Rudeen; a stunt by Orange Belt Lumber Club, and in conclusion several numbers were given by Earle Transue, the Distinguished American Tonor.

Hartman, member of the colony of hardy pioneers who founded the city of Anaheim, died at his home at 926 West Washington Street, Los Angeles, last Friday, at the age of 79, leaving two sons, Fred C. and Adolph Hartman, and a sister Miss Amy Hartman. Mr. Hartman was the son of Jacob Hartman, one of the fifty pioneers who purchased the desert ground on which Anaheim now stands, and colonized it in 1857. After a short residence in the fontier town Frederick, who was young and ambitious, as well as adventurous, went to Mexico where he remained for a few years. He engaged in business and married there, but in 1866 returned to Anaheim with a pack train. In 1886 he moved to Los Angeles where he has made his home ever since. The Hartman tract in the original plat of Anaheim was situated in the southeast section of the city. It is recorded in the annals of the town and also remembered by the oldest inhabitants, that Jacob Hartman lost his life in the great flood of 1862. The entire townsite was under water, and a rushing torrent swept down from the east. Stepping out of his back door to look at the flood, Mr. Hartman apparently lost his balance and tumbled into the swirling water. He was swept away, and several days later his body was found embedded in the sand near the mouth of the Santa Ana river, not far from Wilmington. The sun's rays, shining on his gold watch which happened to be exposed, attracted the attention of passerby and led to the discovery of the body. One of finest private mansoleums in the Anaheim cemetery was erected by Mr. Hartman many years ago, and in this the remains of his parents are entombed. His ashes were also brought here and will rest for all time in the substantial tomb. Some years ago, at a cost of several thousand dollars, he erected the ornamental gate way at the main entrance of the cemetery. This was the beginning of a movement to beautify the cemetery which has led to good results. Having faith in the future of Anaheim, the Hartman family still have property interests here although they resided in Los Angeles for many years. The Hartman buildings at Center and Olive streets, occupied by J. E. Walter's Auto Business, the Eastside grocery and the Villalobos & Guerrero meat market were erected by Adolph Hartman and are still owning military drill was given by five little lassies from Mrs. McAdams' school, and a Spanish dance by the Queen of them all; a quartette from the Glee Club of Orange County Lumber Club gave several numbers; imitation of birds by Elmer Rudeen; a stunt by Orange Belt Lumber Club, and in conclusion several numbers were given by Earle Transue, the Distinguished American Tonor. Those who attended from Anaheim were: Mr. and Mrs. F. N. Gibbs, Mr. and Mrs. H. M. Adams, Mr. and Mrs. C. F. Grim, Mr. and Mrs. Elmer Bowers, Mr. A. E. Clark, Mr. W. E. Ambsry and Beatrice G. Amsbry, Mr. and Mrs. Ed. Smith, Mr. Herman Loehr and Mr. G. Merrill, Mr. and Mrs. Arnold EnEarl from Fullerton, Mr. and Mrs. H. S. Gaines from Placentia, Mr. and Mrs. Hinkle, Mr. and Mrs. Arthur Kelley, and Mr. C. C. Corwin. FORTUNATE INVESTORS RECEIVING THEIR CHECKS Southern California Edison Company Sent Out Dividends Last Week Holders of Edison Common stock received their checks last week representing the fifty-fifth consecutive quarterly divided on this security. The total amount of this dividend is $700,855.00 which added to previous earnings on Edison stock makes a total of $23,000,000 dollars which has been distributed, almost entirely in Southern California. According to district manager, Deimling, there are 1056 stock holders in Santa Ana and Anaheim district and this number is increasing daily. According to these figures $23,000.00 will come into circulation in this locality from the present dividend. In a recent statement H. Ballard, Vice-President and General Manager of the Southern California Edison Co., stated that the Company is approach-will come into circulation in this loco-be a record breaking year. Under a recent rate decision of the Railroad Commission, the Edison schedules for light and power service have been substantially reduced. The new rates are the lowest in the company's history and the domestic rate is now so low that it will encourage a liberal use of labor-saving appliances. According to Mr. Ballard, this is an ideal condition for it enables the company to increase its revenues by building up its existing load without making expenditures for new lines and extensions.

The Southern California Retail Lumber Dealers Ass'n held their annual convention at Long Beach, November 17. At 10 A. M., meeting was held in Chamber of Commerce Auditorium, several talks being given. One of the most interesting was "How to Figure Cost." by Sam T. Hayward. After a brief business session the convention recessed to take a trip planned by the Los Angeles Lumber Products Co., who provided a real treat by having a boat at Pine Ave. Pier. A very attractive luncheon was served at the California Yacht Club, the menu being made out in Lumber terms, after which the boat took the guests to the Los Angeles Harbor Plant of the Los Angeles Lumber Products Co., there the afternoon was very interestingly spent in looking Commission, the Edison schedules for light and power service have been substantially reduced. The new rates are the lowest in the company's history and the domestic rate is now so low that it will encourage a liberal use of labor-saving appliances. According to Mr. Ballard, this is an ideal condition for it enables the company to increase its revenues by building up its existing load without making expenditures for new lines and extensions. During the past twelve months the Edison Company added forty-six thousand new customers on its books in addition to serving a large portion of the load in Los Angeles City through its contract with that municipality. JOPLIN CASE CONTINUED Trial of J. C. Joplin, county treasurer, who is charged with violating the state game laws by hunting within a game refuge, was continued by Justice J. B. Cox to December 6, at 2 P.M., with prospect of a stipulation of facts in the case, to be filed att hat time, it was announced. Joplin's counsel, H. C. Head and L. A. West, are conferring with District Attorney A. P. Nelson, it was understood, with reference to agreeing upon facts in the case, in order to stipulate such facts when the case comes to trial and to proceed with argument on the law without taking the time to present testimony. Joplin, who was arrested while hunting upon his own property in Bell canyon, has announced his intention to make a test fight against the constitutionality of the law. The issue at the coming trial, therefore, regarded as dealing not with the facts, but with the law itself. FRUIT GROWERS The dates December likely to be remembered are of Orange county, much the exact dates are On those dates, the Growers' convention is Santa Ana.

Conflicting stories have been told by persons who have visited Germany or those who write letters from there relative to the actual conditions in that unhappy country. Some contend that a person need not go hungry if he has sufficient money to buy all he needs, and others say that sustaining food cannot be purchased at any price. Actual conditions among the laboring classes are told by a young man who has just arrived from the border land and who had ample opportunity recounted. The story of problems and their solutions is told. The opportunity given to men of this county to attend the meetings is one that will be welcomed. The opportunity given us to entertain men of the caliber of those who will be here from all over the state will be welcomed and made the most of by the residents of this county. Director G. H. Hecke, State Dept. of Agriculture, has called upon the department of Agriculture of British Columbia, on Governor Louis F. Hart of Washington and on the governors of other western states requesting that representatives be sent to the convention. Transportation and quarantine are vital issues and if these two important problems are to be solved it must be with the cooperation of the entire Pacific coast. Governor Hart visited California last year and made an urgent appeal for the cooperation of the eleven Western States in solving transportation and quarantine matters and he sent Mr. Frank R. Spinning, Washington Representative of Interstate Commerce Commission, to Sacramento to obtain data which was later presented to the Interstate Commerce Commission and through which we obtained priority orders on refrigerator cars. It is confidently expected that delegations will attend the convention from several of the western states.

George Hetebrink, member of one of the oldest and best known families in this section, was suddenly stricken with death while driving his auto from this city to Fullerton Sunday evening. He was the son of Mrs. Elizabeth Helebrink of Fullerton, but resided in this city, having a room on Cypress street. Sunday evening he volunteered to drive Mrs. Pearl Baldwin and her daughter, Mrs. Josephine Stewart to Fullerton to visit another daughter of Mrs. Baldwin, who was ill.

William and Annia Klor, nephew and niece of Mrs. Stephen Kistler, came in last week from Basle, Switzerland. Basle is in the northeast corner of Switzerland, on the Rhine, just across the river from Germany. Their father is a locomotive engineer on a German railroad running into Basle, and as he works for the German government, or a German corporation, he was ordered to move his family into German territory. Mrs. Klor wrote the Kistlers appealing to them to get her son and daughter out of that starving land if possible, as sufficient nutritious food to keep them in health could not be procured. With the aid of Mr. and Mrs. Kistler they finally reached here. The young man says he finds it difficult to believe that there is ample food of all varieties for everybody here, and that a-man's daily wage will buy his daily rations and leave a surplus of money in his pocket. Mr. Klor spent two years in Germany, working in a machine shop, as he is an expert mechanic. When he left a few weeks ago, he said the German mark had dwindled in value until it was practically worthless. Only bills of large denominations were in circulation as it was a waste of white paper to print anything else. Great bundles of paper money were sold to the junk man, as it was worth in the shape of waste paper more than its face value. White bread was far beyond the reach of the laboring man, he declared. In fact his wages would just buy sufficient of the black substance called bread to keep his family alive. This bread is a combination of stuff never intended for food and is ruinous to the stomach and injurious to the health. It took eight billion marks to buy a loaf of white bread. This, in the pre-war days was two billion dollars—more money than John D. Rockefeller and Henry Ford combined are worth. Now it is ten cents. It is confidentially expected that delegations will attend the convention from several of the western states. Practically every railroad serving the Pacific Coast, has signified its intentions to have representatives present and the U.S. Department of labor is being urged to send a representative to Santa Ana to discuss with the fruit growers the question of the restriction of foreign immigration and how it may be made to serve the farmer. The problem of fruit transportation which was the leading subject at the fruit growers convention held in Sacramento in 1922 will again be up for discussion. It was believed by California fruit growers that there would be no car shortage in 1923. Operating upon this assurance grape growers made contracts which they were later unable to fulfill. The question is, can the railroads satisfactorily handle the transportation of western fruits and vegetables as the production of these crops is increasing annually? It is not possible to supplement railroad transportation with water transportation? Is it practical for railroads to build sufficient cars to handle western crops when these cars may lie idle for a large portion of the year? A large refrigerator ship company is now practically ready to handle California fruits, and apies from the Pacific northwest to New York and other Atlantic ports on schedule of fifteen to eighteen days. The Fruit Growers and farmers convention is a common ground where the transportation companies, the farmers and the marketing organizations throughout the west can meet to discuss the solution of important questions affecting the industry. E. M. Sheehan, President of the California Grape Growers Association has signified his intention to be present and Director Hecke has received urgent letters from many other fruit asociations setting forth the importance of calling all of he committees dealing with the transportation problems to meet with the fruit growers at the convention.

On those dates, the California Fruit Growers' convention is to be held in Santa Ana. This gathering is looked upon as the most important gathering of fruit growers of the year, in this state. Attendance at the meetings of the convention is as good as a college course. In this meeting is demonstrated all that is newest in the way of reports on experimentation. Advice to the grower is given out by the most thoroughly trained and most widely experienced leaders in agricultural and horticultural thought in the state. Santa Ana and the growers of Orange county may feel thankful that the convention is to be held here. The history of this gathering all over the state is that it leaves behind it with residents of the county in which it is held an inestimable amount of information and inspiration, of inestimable value. These gatherings point the way the industries are going. It is a place where the year's experiences of a practical nature as worked out by scientific men and practical producers are E. M. Sheehan, President of the California Grape Growers Association has signified his intention to be present and Director Hecke has received urgent letters from many other fruit associations setting forth the importance of calling all of he committees dealing with the transportation problems to meet with the fruit growers at the convention. Geo. C. Roeding is president of the Fancher Greek Nursery of Fresno and also president of the California Nursery Company at Niles. He has been president of the California Association of Nurserymen, president of the State Board of Agriculture and an active worker along horticultural lines for a great many years. He is to be one of the principle speakers. It was through Mr. Roeding's efforts and energy that the blastophaga or fig was introduced into California and proved a factor in making the Smyrna Fig industry as we have it today. The Smyrna figs were imported here from Africa years ago but for some unaccountable reason failed to develop. They were tried in several sections of California and conditions and soil were changed but they would not produce a crop. Finally Mr. Roeding in his travels in the Orient discovered that the Smyrna fig depended for its pollination upon a tiny wasp which part of its life in the Capri fig. He immediately bought plants of the Capri fig and had them shipped to California. Then he secured specimens of the wasp and had them imported and bred upon the young figs. In this way the Smyrna fig industry immediately began to prosper and today thousands of acres have been planted throughout the interior valleys of the state. Mr. Roeding has been the employer of hundreds of men on his ranches and in his nurseries and has traveled all over the world and is amply qualified to discuss the important question of immigration as it relates to farm labor. Among the speakers who are to appear on the program will be one who has made California fruit history from the earliest days of its development. Charles C. Chapman is a pioneer in the growing of Valencia and Navel oranges. Mr. Chapman and his brother located in California in the sixties and began growing citrus fruits and shipping them under their own name to eastern markets. They were the pioneers in the development of standardized pack and were the first packers in the West to use a brand. Their Mission Brand was known throughout the east and became so popular in some of the eastern cities that when buyers thought of oranges they thought of Mission Brand as a variety. When Charles C. Chapman first placed his lithographed label upon the end of his boxes it was greeted with derision by many of his competitors but he persisted in his efforts to build up a trade. Today all of our fruit is shipped under a brand and these brands are recognized throughout the entire world for their quality. Mr. Chapman has always taken an active part in Fruit Browers Conventions and in promoting the development of Horticulture at the University. He can truthfully be called one of the founders of modern horticulture in California. He is to be the Toastmaster at the Fruit Growers Banquet which will occur Friday evening.

Work on the park was begun two years ago when the board of trustees purchased approximately 20 acres of ground inthe heart of the city at a cost of $99,500. Even before the old buildings were removed from the tract, landscape architects were employed to make complete plans for the park, and various units of the work have progressed steadily since that time. Perhaps the most attractive feature of the park is the group of lily ponds extending along the northern driveway. Informal in shape and surrounded by mossy turf, the ponds with their thousands of blooming lilies present a picture of beauty. In these ponds Anaheim boasts of the largest collection of lily bulbs in Southern California. Nearby is the children's playground where during the vacation months hundreds of Anaheim youngsters gather daily to romp under the supervision of play directors. Here the Anaheim Kiwanis club will construct a wading pool for the little tots.

Celebrating the completion of its re-built quarters, work on which has been in progress for many months, the Anaheim National Bank kept open house Saturday fornoon and evening, and entertained hundreds of friends who called to inspect the beautiful new premises and extend congratulations to the officials.

Set Opening Turkey Day Thanksgiving Day has been set as the opening date for the new $40,000 bathing pool, bath-house and gymnasium. The plunge, 60 by 140 feet, is one of the largest municipal pools in the southland. A special heating plant has been installed to warm the water during the winter months, and the pool will be open throughout the year. Ample dressing room and locker space has been provided to accommodate hundreds of bathers. Earl Guysl, expert swimming instructor, has been employed by the city to take care of the plunge. He started his duties November 15. Adjoining the pool are three concrete tennis courts, and space has been left for the construction of additional courts. Another attractive feature of the park is the baseball diamond and the up-to-date grandstand which will accommodate more than 1000 spectators While the Anaheim Merchants team of the Triple A league will hold the center of interest on the new diamond the park is available for youngsters of the local sand lot teams, and will probably be in use every day during the baseball season. An added spot of beaty in the park will be the Japanese sunken gardens. Excavation work on this unit has been started and the park committee expects to have the gardens completed by next spring. Completed plans call for a picnic grove in the northeast corner of the park, and for a great amphitheater in the center of the tract. Here covered stage will be erected and an open-air auditorium large enough to accommodate all of the people in Anaheim will be provided. This will be used for summer band concerts, plays and celebrations. All building in the park will harmonize, both in arrangement and architecture. The Spanish style has been adopted, with stucco finish and tile roofing. The park, as it stands today, represents many months of time and effect in part of the park committee Celebrating the completion of built quarters, work on which has been in progress for many months, the Anaheim National Bank kept open house Saturday forenoon and evening, and entertained hundreds of friends who called to inspect the beautiful new premises and extend congratulations to the officials. Finding the quarters too small by reason of the rapidly expanding business, the owners of the bank negotiated for rooms in the rear that were occupied by real estate firms, and began the work of extension and overhauling the premises. The entire interior is finished in marble. Fifty thousand dollars was spent in the remodeling, and the bank is now one of the finest and most convenient in this section. The several departments and official offices are segregated, and the customer on entering the door can determine at a glance what paeticular person he wants to do business with. The Anaheim National Bank was established in 1914 by Charsles Eygabroad and F. C. Krause, both new arrivals here. Mr. Eygabroad came from Aberdeen, South Dakota, where he had been prominent in business and political affairs, and Mr. Krause came down from far away Fairbanks, Alaska. For many years he had been one of the leading business men of our northern - most territory The bank started with a capital of $25,000, and naturally, for the first year its deposits were small. There were two old-established and substantial banks in the city at the time, besides the American Savings Bank, but the city had begun its upward growth and the new institution gaining the confidence of the people, rapidly increased its business. In 1917 William A. Dolan, who had been in the banking business in Nebraska, came to the Pacific coast looking for a location. After giving Anaheim once over he was satisfied that the city had a prosperous future before it, consequently he purchased the interests of Messrs. Eygabroad and Krause and took charge of the bank. A. B. McCord, then cashier of the Golden State National, later purchased stock and became one of the directors and cashier. Since that time the bank, like the city, has made phenomenal strides upward. When Mr. Dolan purchased it the deposits were $250,000, while today they are almost a million, and the total assets $1,100,000. The bank is characterized by its safe, conservative and accommodating business methods and by the courte- open-air auditorium large enough to accommodate all of the people in Anaheim will be provided. This will be used for summer band concerts, plays and celebrations. All building in the park will harmonize, both in arrangement and architecture. The Spanish style has been adopted, with stucco finish and tile roofing. The park, as it stands today, represents many months of time and effort on the part of the park committee of the board of city trustees, consisting of Frank Gates, chairman, F. N. Gibbs and Godfrey Stock. But Anaheim people, fully aroused to the fact that they possess one of California's beauty spots, are lending a hand to finish the work. Rustic bridges will span the ponds as the result of the efforts of the women's clubs of the city. The Kiwanis club has completed plans for the wading pool and will also erect a beautiful fountain nearby. The American Legion will install a huge flag pole in the center of the tract, and appropriate monuments will be erected in honor of the war heroes. Other organizations are planning to make suitable additions to the park. "The initial cost of the project," said Mr. Gates yesterday, "represents only a small part of the returns Anaheim people will reap through civic pride and enjoyment of the many features of the park." The second game of baseball in the Triple A League series was pulled off at Municipal Park Sunday between Glendale and Anaheim. The score was eighteen to nothing in favor of Glendale. Further comment is unnecessary. Mr. and Mrs. Theodore Roberts left New York Saturday on the liner America for Bremen, Germany. They planned on spending the greater part of a year in the Fatherland and other European countries, but chancing to read in a New York paper that it takes fifteen billion marks to buy a dinner, and twenty-five billion to hire a bed for one night. Mr. Roberts is doubtful if his supply of cash will hold out for more than a month or two.
