Something new and unique is being presented the holiday shoppers by the Anaheim merchants this year in the way of a united holiday display. The scheme was born in the fertile brain of some member of the Merchants association and was perfected by a committee composed of L. B. Webber, A. Graham, Al Nowotny, Doc Barnes and R. C. Peterman. "See Anaheim First" was adopted as a motto, or rather, a standing invitation to the thousands of people in this city and surrounding country as well as the neighboring towns who expect to shop during the holiday season. Business men in the city have laid in an unusually large and extraordinary line of holiday goods this season and they want to convince that class of people who think it necessary to shop in Los Angeles that they can do equally well in Anaheim. The united holiday display will begin at 10 o'clock this morning and will continue until closing time Saturday night. By mutual agreement the stores and all the business houses signing the proclamation will remain closed until 10 o'clock today and then open simultaneously. The proclamation is signed by 42 firms and business men representing a majority of the merchants and other business houses of the city.

The Board of Supervisors voted on Monday to issue $8000 bonds for the construction of a school building in Fullerton. Mrs. Wiring of Kansas, sister of Mrs. Strudthoff, is visiting here. Speaking of a $1,000,000 appropriation for the improvement of San Pedro harbor Senator Stanford, who viewed the place last week, says there is very little doubt that the appropriation will be granted. There must be a great harbor in fact for there are 400,000 people paying taxes upon property worth $350,000,000 dependent upon it. There is no reason why the commerce of all the vast region embraced in Southern California and Arizona should be carried on through a port so far distant as San Francisco when there is a good bay close at hand.
