It gives interesting, important and valuable information—tells you "at a glance" what your income tax will be.

R. Barmes, Fred Maas, Innes Henry and Chas. Truilieb and used cars to John Waldie, Brea, and to W. Stephens, Los Angeles. RANCHES GOING UP An indication of the way ranches are advancing in value with the high prices for citrus fruit is shown by the experience of H. K. Brown, who recently paid Arch Henry $8000 for five acres of two-year-old Valencias on West Broadway. Since the purchase, Mr. Brown has received offers first of $8500, then $9000 and now $500 for the place which has no improvements.

BOARD OF TRADE WILL CONSIDER LANGENBERGER PARK PROJECT TONIGHT The most important meeting of the Board of Trade in months will be held this evening when there will be presented the very generous offer of A. G. Langenberger to give the city his 20-acre orange ranch at North Lemmon and Sycamore-sts for a city park. The city council has asked for the opinion of the Board of Trade and other organizations as well as citizens in general as to whether the city should accept the offer. Mr. Langenberger's offer, in brief, is that the city pay him six per cent interest on the value of the ranch which he places at $60,000 during his lifetime. At his death the interest payments stop and the property mountains to the coast. Because he could talk German, he played an important part in the transfer from the Spanish don to the group of German colonists from San Francisco who settled on the 1200 acres which marked the first confines of Anaheim. First Trading Post August Langenberger and wife owned 60 acres from Center-st through what is now being offered for a city park. He had charge of the first trading post between Los Angeles and San Diego, parts of the walls of which are standing in the rear of Kern's Cycle Store. Portholes in the adobe brick are still to be observed. Mr. A. G. Langenberger, this after... The city council has asked for the opinion of the Board of Trade and other organizations as well as citizens in general as to whether the city should accept the offer. Mr. Langenberger's offer, in brief, is that the city pay him six per cent interest on the value of the ranch which he places at $60,000 during his lifetime. At his death the interest payments stop and the property goes to the city. The Option Good to Mar. 1 The option is good until Mar. 1 Mr. Langenberger reserves the crop now on the trees, estimated at $15,000, but the city would take it hereafter. The only stipulation is that a strip two lots wide between Los Angeles and Lemon-sts be condemned and opened as the continuation of Alberta st. Without doubt the site is the most desirable for park purposes both from location, being the highest point in the city, and from the standpoint of valuable plants and historic connections of any similar site within the city limits. 800 Specimens There are more than 300 different kinds of trees and shrubs, all specimens, many of which are exceedingly rare and valuable. There are beautiful drives and massive pine trees which were set out in 1873. There are 22 specimens of palms, including blue palm, probably the only one outside of Huntington home at Passena, and a Sefarthia palm 35 or 40 years old. There are tree ferns from New Zealand and the only bearing spume tree—the Mexican pear—or Orange-co. This latter Mr. A. S. Langenberger himself brought from Mexico and set out against the advice of friends who said it wouldn't now. It is annually loaded with cult. There are two bahemia trees from Java which are a mass of purple blossoms each spring. A St. John's lead tree has been the object of much interest from the state horticulturalists at Berkeley. Memorial to Pioneers Mr. Langenberger gives as his reams for making the offer that he is and a bachelor and wants to make a memorial to the memory of his parents and other pioneers. He would have it called Pioneer park, then he recently entertained an off-road vehicle. First Trading Post August Langenberger and wife owned 60 acres from Center-st thru what is now being offered for a city park. He had charge of the first trading post between Los Angeles and San Diego, parts of the walls of which are standing in the rear of Kern's Cycle Store. Portholes in the adobe brick are still to be observed. Mr. A. G. Langenberger this afternoon displayed an interesting photograph of the old adobe trading post which was an express office, bank, and general store. Places were always set at table for 20 guests, it being a Spanish custom that anyone, friend or stranger could come and stay as long as he desired. Fine Club House Mr. Langenberger thinks the large 12-room house which was built in 1883 would make fine accommodations for club meetings of various kinds, along the line of the Placentia Round Table club house. The whole place is replete with tokens of pioneer days. An interesting character in the employe of the Langenbergers for $1 years is Juan Ruiz who has kept the grounds in the present fine shape. Forsees Fine Park System Mr. Langenberger thinks his estate could be made the nucleus for a fine system of parks or parkings. He would have the opening of Los Angeles-st parked in the center, calling it Liberty square. He also believes that a beautifully parked street could be donated by the property owners from his estate to Center-st and midway between Lemon and Palm-sts, now Clementine-st. "The mere cutting of a street thru there would mean nothing, but if it would be a parkway it would increase property values thousands of dollars," said Mr. Langenberger. Has Home in Frisco Mr. Langenberger says that if the city accepts his offer he will go to San Francisco where he has a fine home leased out and will negotiate for its sale. While asking that no definite statements be made, Mr. Langenberger this afternoon intimated to The Plain Dealer that at his death the city might expect further gifts to be used toward the development of the park. "I would always be interested in Memorial to Pioneers Mr. Langenberger gives as his reasons for making the offer that he is and a bachelor and wants to make a memorial to the memory of his parents and other pioneers. He would have it called Pioneer park. When he recently entertained an offer for the sale of the ranch, said he muddered when the would-be buyer announced the first thing he would be to cut down the big pine trees, 45 years old, "because they live too much shade." "I have always tried to do what thought my parents would like, especially since my mother died in Oct., 13, and I feel that they would like have this memorial to the sturdy men and women who carved Anaheim out of the desert," said Mr. Langenberger this afternoon. "I deserve no credit for the offer," continued Mr. Langenberger. "The credit belongs to August and Clemena Langenberger. I am only fortunate in being able to make the offer. If I were married, of course, I did not think of it." First White Settler August Langenberger was the first white settler in Anaheim, coming in 1850. He came from San Francisco to the San Gabriel mission here, although a protestant, he liked mission fathers and became enclosed as a tutor. He married into Juan Pacifico Antiveras family, a branch of the Yorba family, which need all the land here from the We do all kinds of welding. Patron-home industry. Welding requires experience and a careful study of composition of different metals alloys. Our welder has had three years experience. Work guaranteed by A Cycle Co., Anaheim. Mr. Langenberger says that if the city accepts his offer he will go to San Francisco where he has a fine home leased out and will negotiate for its sale. While asking that no definite statements be made, Mr. Langenberger this afternoon intimated to The Plain Dealer that at his death the city might expect further gifts to be used toward the development of the park. "I would always be interested in the park," he said. Mr. Langenberger does not insist that the whole property be turned into a park immediately. He thinks 2 acres along Lemon-st would be a good start and the park could be expanded as funds were available. "Anaheim pioneers used to make use of the grounds for recreation purposes. I don't see why they couldn't do it again," says Mr. Langenberger. Mr. Langenberger asked The Plain Dealer to announce that the public was cordially invited to visit and inspect the grounds and house at any time between now and Mar. 1. BUILDING NEW HOME U. S.
