Even to those whom years of residence here has made indifferent to the charming characteristics of this semi-tropic land, there is a refreshing and peculiar inspiration in the air nowadays which extorts from them tributes of satisfaction that their lines have been cast in such a pleasant place. It is nothing unusual to hear expressions elogistic of our climate from those who have not been here long enough to become imbued with the contempt breed of familiarity, but it is rare to hear those who have lived here for a decade pay tribute to the country. And yet there is not a man among them but would laugh scornfully at a suggestion that he leave California and return to his former home. Until reminded of it, they forget to compare their present residence with their former one, but when their thoughts begin to work in that direction they speedily realize how much pleasanter are the natural conditions here. Whatever discomfort, discontent and hardship people suffer here is due in the greatest degree to themselves; for it is impossible that Nature could be more generous and kind than it is. Industry and intelligence are the two requisites to a pleasant and profitable life in this "happy valley." Saunter through the green lanes of Anaheim in the gloaming, when the afternoon breeze has quieted, and what a delicious, overpowering odor captivates the senses! And amid the perfume of a thousand flowers that of the orange blossoms asserts itself most prominently. It permeates everything, and even when one leaves their vicinity its intrusive perfume lingers about him. Can those denizens of Indiana, who not more than three weeks ago were waiting for the snow to melt so that they could begin the season's plowing, realize the tropic picture we have painted? "The great drawback in this country is the dry seasons" is an oft-repeated remark. The indictment is probably true. But suppose this one great disadvantage was removed, what incentive would there be for New Court House? Plans for a new Court House adopted by the Board preliminary step has led deliberation, considering resulting in the dissolution number of citizens. For the erection of an office from $300,000, this sale of bonds issued next action will, we believe, people to grant author bonds. We believe that it should be refused. Sentiment of the people Angeles city aright, it is to taxation for this purpose that two-thirds of county can be induced county's credit to them four hundred thousand of the city. Of officials for more and the eclat given to by new and expensive are other and more use of money—needs no importance to the business county. The people to the Courthouse whose necessity for good rents for a new Courthouse score of citizens of Anaheim obey the mandate of present Courthouse on able roads and bridges. Not one person in five fitted by a new Court will be added to the roads are practically what nature has made in good seasons, and present. There is not Anaheim that is fit for travel. It is our intention ask for action in the echo the sentiment of One-half the cost of a pended in improving it would increase the value... As usual, May-day will be celebrated at the Santiago picnic grounds. The Santa Ana fire department will have the direction of amusements and the Anaheim brass band will discourse the music. Ladies are reminded that the figure at the corner of Center and Los Angeles streets is not a live "dude." Smiles and bows beatened will not be reciprocated nor appreciated. There is and has been a considerable demand for brick in Anaheim. A brick yard would without doubt prove a paying investment. A large quantity is now being brought into town for building purposes. The conspicuous advertisement of Geo. M. Thompson will be found in to-day's paper. Mr. Thompson is a reliable business man and is worthy of patronage by our producers. The following sales of real estate were made by Hanua & Keith this week: D. W. C. Cowan to John Dietzel, 11 acres, $1000; Mansur & Wilcox, assignees of B. F. Seibert, to George Shaw, 20 acres, $1,220. L. W. Bentz has on exhibition at the real estate office of D. W. Hudson & Co., an extensive collection of gold, silver and copper items from Arizona. The cabinet makes a pleasing sight. Work on the Raymond hotel at Pasadena has been temporarily suspended, owing to the failure of the narrow gauge railroad company to lay its track. It is believed the matter will be amiably adjusted. The safe in the Philadelphia Brewery in Los Angeles was burglarized on Tuesday night and $130 stolen. The thieves were experts, as the combination was unlocked by them. The work of painting the Planters' Hotel is now going on. H Boege has the contract. The hotel may be said to have renewed its youth. It is in splendid condition, and Mr. Compton is approving himself a model Boniface. An aged paisano named Felipe, a visiting bummer, was brought up in the Justice Court on Wednesday for disturbing the peace and happiness of S.Covarrubias and the public generally. Felipe was awarded justice tempered with mercy and allowed to emigrate Mexico-wards. And now comes the San Francisco Bulletin and credits the Gazette with saying that "last year a bridge in Orangethorpe was 'ravaged by the same [cut] worm.' In refutation we all let the worm ravages most prominently. It permeates everything, and even when one leaves their vicinity its intrusive perfume lingers about him. Can those denizens of Indiana, who not more than three weeks ago were waiting for the snow to melt so that they could begin the season's plowing, realize the tropic picture we have painted? "The great drawback in this country is the dry seasons" is an oft-repeated remark. The indictment is probably true. But suppose this one great disadvantage was removed, what incentive would there be for mortals to strive to gain Paradise? A project which doubtless will receive the assistance and encouragement of every one, is being pushed by Rev. H. J. Sheridan. He proposes to organize a Young Men's Social Club, hire a suitable room in the business part of town, keep it supplied with the best newspapers and such books as he is able to gather together, and make it otherwise attractive to young gentlemen, the room to be open every night. At a meeting hastily called on Monday evening eleven young men were present, and the project was warmly supported. Another meeting will be held this (Saturday) evening at St. Michael's church, and we strongly advise all—young and old—who favor the scheme to go to the meeting and give their advice and assistance in furtherance of it. Some years ago we noticed an account of damage to Mr. Oefinger's vineyard in Anaheim by the cut worm. There was no foundation for the statement at that time. Some erratic newspaper man has lately resurrected the story and it has been copied by the local press as a veritable fact belonging to the surprises of the present season. Mr. Oefinger informs us that there has been no serious injury to his vineyard by the cut worm this year nor in former years. Neither do we know of damage to any vineyard in this section this spring from that or any other cause. Our vineyards at the present are in an unusual condition of luxuriant progression. At a meeting held on Monday evening last the following nominations were made to be voted for at the election for town officers on Monday next: Trustees—Wm. M. Bailey, Frank Ey, Adolph Rimpau, William A. Witte, F. A. Korn, Clerk—E. F. Newbold, Justice—Alexander Bailey, Assessor—C. H. Zeyn, Marshal—Wm. Meek. Another convention was to have been held last night to place in nomination an opposition ticket. Officer Bohn, whose Hawkshaw proclivities have long been recognized, was on Thursday the hero of a coup de satat in the re-arrest of Robert Harlow, who last week so suddenly sought pastures new. Robert returned to his old grazing grounds but was promptly corralled by the Conastable and taken inform Indoe Brule on the charge of Not one person in invocation will be fitted by a new court will be added to the roads are practically what nature has made in good seasons, and present.

Felipe was awarded justice tempered with mercy and allowed to emigrate Mexico-wards. And now course the San Francisco Bulletin and credits the Gazette with saying that "last year a bridge in Orangethorpe was 'ravaged by the same [cut] worm.' In refutation we allege—lst, the worm ravages fruit buds, not timber; 2d, no bridge in Orangethorpe has been ravaged; 3d, the Gazette never said so. Monday last was pay day for the A.U.W. Co. The office of the company was thronged with laborers lately employed on the ditches. Later on the harvest commenced at the saloons, resulting in business for officer Bohn with a morning service in Judge Bailey's Court. His Honor's leniency diamissed them with a reprimand. "Perfectly lovely," "beautiful," "glorious," etc. are the phrases now in fashion expressive of the appearance of the country about Anaheim which is really a sight to behold. The luxuriant vegetation in the plains, rising banks of flowers in the foothills with the snow-capped mountains for a background, indeed form a picture of surpassing beauty. It is a well-known fact that Southern California affords varied surprises in the vegetable kingdom as well as in all other departments of the natural world. The latest brought to our notice is an abnormal growth of the pumpkin vine. The seed was planted two years ago, and the vine has continuously kept up its work of extension until it now covers the roof of Dr. Fox's house—the main stem being not less than 150 feet in length, while the lateral shoots would swell the measurement to many hundred feet. The bearing capacity of this vine has been something enormous and still the good work goes on. A forty-five-pound pumpkin was harvested this week and the number remaining on the vine in different stages of advancement may be counted by the score. Who says the pumpkin vine is an annual? Officer Bohn, whose Hawkshaw proclivities have so long been recognized, was on Thursday the hero of a coup de stat in the re-arrest of Robert Harlow, who last week so suddenly sought pastures new. Robert returned to his old grazing grounds but was promptly corralled by the Constable and taken before Judge Bailey on the charge of vagrancy. Counsel asked for a change of venue, which was granted, we hope to San Juan Capistrano. The Anaheim brass band by frequent practice has attained a proficiency quite satisfactory to its members and pleasing to listeners. It is reported that a new band is in embryo. We may soon expect a surfeit of sweet sounds. The wool clip, which is now being harvested, is abundant in quantity and excellent in quality, being cleaner than it has been for years. The ruling price is rather low, being from 10 to 13 cents per pound. The market, however, may be said not yet to have opened. Dobner, of the San Francisco Cash Store, is fully alive to the situation, and his list of bargains in his new advertisement will open the eyes of buyers. The livery equipments of L.F.Lewis have been augmented by the arrival of an elegant double carriage manufactured in Illinois. It is a beautiful vehicle. We are authorized to state that Wm.A.Witte is not a candidate for the office of trustee. John Nelson has sold his Garden Grove property and purchased the Crane tract in Centralia. The supply of fuel has been very low since the rains and prices for wood and coal have ranged high. The corner is now broken by the arrival of a carload of Wellington oak. Gado will deliver it in quantition to suit anywhere in town. Mrs.S.Kelton, a cellent character and father was professor in dress our citizens this and to-morrow on the side She will speak in both She has a high reputation we can assure all that worthy of a large audience many may not agree to temperance platform. T in this work certainly h classes of citizens at best can do is to listen to what Mrs.Skelton will lead the Presbyterian church There will be a meeting children in the Presbytery to morrow. Mrs.Skelton in addressing children in the Presbytery church 7:30. All are cordially New Court House vs. Good Roads. Plans for a new Court House have been adopted by the Board of Supervisors. This preliminary step has been taken with much deliberation, considerable time and expense; resulting in the dissatisfaction of a large number of citizens. The plans adopted call for the erection of an edifice to cost not far from $300,000, this sum to be raised by the sale of bonds issued by the county. The next action will, we presume, be to ask the people to grant authority requisite to issue bonds. We believe this will be refused, and it should be refused. If we understand the sentiment of the people outside of Los Angeles city aright, it is decidedly in opposition to taxation for this purpose, and we have no idea that two-thirds of the taxpayers of the county can be induced to vote to bond the county's credit to the amount of from three to four hundred thousand dollars for the adornment of the city. Acknowledging the need of officials for more commodious quarters, and the eclat given to the boom of the city by new and expensive public buildings, there are other and more pressing needs for the use of money—needs which are of vital importance to the business prosperity of the county. The people want some way to get to the Courthouse which they now own. The necessity for good roads is far greater than for a new Courthouse. For several days a score of citizens of Anaheim were unable to obey the mandate of a court sitting at the present Courthouse on account of impassable roads and bridgeless, unfordable streams. Not one person in five hundred will be benefitted by a new Courthouse. Not one dollar will be added to the value of property. Our roads are practically useless. They are what nature has made them, ordinarily good in good seasons, and horribly bad at the present. There is not a road leading into Anaheim that is fit for either light or heavy travel. It is our interest and our right to ask for action in this matter, and we but echo the sentiment of the county at large. One-half the cost of a new Courtnouse expended in improving the roads of the county would increase the value of property an hour later. Value of the Orangethorpe Co.'s Ditches. At the meeting of the Directors of the A. U. W. Co., held last week, H. C. Kellogg, the Company's engineer, made the following report: In accordance with your request we submit the following estimated values of ditches belonging to Farmers' Ditch Co. which can be made available to the A. U. W. Co: They have in their possession about nine miles of ditch lying below the reservoir site. Of these there are about two miles which run parallel with ditches belonging to the company and used to distribute water to the same land. The ditches above named run from a point on township line at Crowther's corner; thence west one-half mile; thence southwesterly three-quarters of a mile; thence west three-quarters of a mile to junction with Cajon ditch. From this point there is about one and a quarter miles of ditch running in a southwesterly direction to Browning's corner which is held jointly with the A. U. W. Co. The remaining six and a quarter miles are used for distributing water to lands which are not reached by ditches belonging to this Company, and they are in the most available position for distributing water to said lands. Of the nine and one-half miles of ditches above referred to, eight and three-quarter miles could be constructed and placed in good running order at a cost not exceeding $250 per mile, the remaining three-quarters of a mile is a deep cut through Kraemer's tract, which would cost about $700. 82 miles of ditch at $250... $2,187.50 $ of a mile at $700... 700.00 $2,887.50 Punish the Careless. The Supervisors of San Diego county have passed an ordinance which is respectfully commended to the consideration of the Supervisors of this county. The annually-recurring fires have their origin mainly in the carelessness of camping parties, and offenders in this respect should be made to suffer. The ordinance referred to is as follows: The Board of Supervisors of the County of San Diego hereby offer a standing reward of $100 for arrest and conviction of every person, who, upon departing from camp, wilfully leaves the fire or fires burning or unexinguished, or who wilfully or negligently sets on fire, or causes or procures to be set EIGHT BUCKETS OF BLOOD.

It is our interest and our right to ask for action in this matter, and we but echo the sentiment of the county at large. One-half the cost of a new Courthouse expended in improving the roads of the county would increase the value of property an hundred fold and benefit the city far more than new public buildings. Messieurs Supervisors we do not want a new Courthouse, but we must have roads. Let us issue bonds for good roads and bridges, the people will endorse such action. Personal. Deputy Sheriff F. W.
