It appears that the S. A. V. I. Co. declines to enter into partnership with the Anaheim Company in developing water, and they decline to consider the proposition made by Mr. Cox and his associates to guarantee a stated supply of water. The rejection of this last proposition is a matter of small moment to the projectors, for they formulated their plan and made their proposition more with a desire to stimulate action and evoke ideas upon the subject than with any desire to reap a profit for themselves. But we are disappointed through and through at the rejection of the proposed partnership between the two companies. It creates antagonism where there ought to be harmony, it involves the needless expenditure of much money in carrying out schemes of development which may in the end come to naught, and entails other evils which it is unnecessary to recapitulate. We hope the matter will yet be reconsidered, but if the feeling on the other side of the river is voiced in the communication to the Orange Tribune, which we reprint, it is doubtful whether any olive branch we might tender would be accepted. "D" appears to be aching for that "row," but we hope that the belligerent feeling of him and those who think with him will be mollified by time and a profitable orange crop, and that they will then view the proposition in a business-like way and without the inexplicable feeling of prejudice, which we are sorry to say is too prevalent among our neighbors. It is scarcely credible that Anaheim will stand supinely by and see the surplus water appropriated. Immediate steps must at once be taken to get our share of the water. We have said substantially the same thing a hundred times before, but now it must be done. Mr. Haight appeared before the Board some weeks ago and demonstrated that for a very trifling sum of money a large quantity of water could be taken from the river when it was most needed. Mr. Haight's plan is very much cheaper than that proposed by Mr. Cox and his associates, and if the stockholders believe it is feasible they ought at once to adopt it. We have no pet scheme—no scheme at all. We want to see more water developed for the good of the country, for the profit of the Santa Ana surveying paving at Arlington again.

Bixby, of Los Alamitos, is having 1,200 acres of that rancho surveyed into forty-acre lots, and will shortly place them on the market. It is excellent land and will doubtless meet with a ready sale. The contract for the erection of a parsonage adjoining the Catholic church has been let to Messrs. Sorensen and Young. It is to be one-story cottage, 30x30, hard finished, and will cost about $800. By reference to the advertisement it will be seen that on Sunday, the 20th instant, the German Society will give a musical entertainment, at which the singing section of the Los Angeles Turnverein will assist. J. A. Nelson, the one armed ticket seller at the old depot in Los Angeles, is out of luck. While at breakfast on Wednesday morning, a thief entered his office by using false keys and stole $117 in coin which was in a sack. Slight tinges of frost o' mornings has made the necessary process of getting out of bed one to be dreaded. The nights of the past week have been unusually cold, and a higher temperature and more rain would be a welcome change. Mr. A. Jaqua, of Union City, Indiana, is stopping at the house of his brother-in-law, Mr. Erwin Barr, Mr. Jaqua is a correspondent of the Cincinnati Enquirer and we hope to see favorable mention of our locality in that widely circulated paper. A meeting will be held to night at the Fairview school house at which the owners of the Badger ditch and the Fairview ditch will decide upon methods of irrigation this season. A large interest in these ditches is held in Garden Grove. Messrs. Saxton & Cox have sold their lumber yard, mills and warehouses to J. M. Griffith & Co., who now own lumber yards at Los Angeles, Norwalk, Downey, Santa Ana and possibly other points. The transfer of the business will be made on the 1st of January. A ball will be given at Kroeger's Hall on Christmas Eve, Dec. 25th, for the benefit of a needy family who are fully deserving of charity. The Committee of Arrangements are H. Kuapke, H. A. Boege, D.

Mr. Haight appeared before the Board some weeks ago and demonstrated that for a very triling sum of money a large quantity of water could be taken from the river when it was most needed. Mr. Haight's plan is very much cheaper than that proposed by Mr. Cox and his associates, and if the stockholders believe it is feasible they ought at once to adopt it. We have no pet scheme—no scheme at all. We want to see more water developed for the good of the country, for the profit of the people now here, and for the encouragement of the people yet to come, and we are entirely indifferent as to the mode of developing this needed water. What we most desire to impress upon the people here is the necessity of taking hold of this matter with energy and vim. There is danger in delay. The suggestion made by Mr. Holt, of the Riverside Press, deserves careful consideration, although as a matter of fact the plan he proposes has often been discussed. There are some difficulties in the way of its fulfillment, but it is probable that could be overcome. Railroad Probabilities Mr. Fred T. Perris, Chief Engineer of the C.S.R.R., was in town on Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday. He returned to San Bernardino on Friday morning to meet Mr. Strong, the President of the Company, who was expected from Boston. Mr. Strong comes to inspect the work already done, and decide upon what further extensions, if any, are desirable. It is natural, of course, that the visit of Mr. Perris should give rise to speculations concerning the route of the roads which it is hoped and expected will be built through the Santa Ana Canyon to Anaheim. But none of the most extraordinary stories we have heard in this connection have in them a single element of fact. Mr. Perris' visit was merely to get a general idea of "the lay" of the country, and even if the extension of the road from Riverside had been decided upon, he has not the faintest idea of where the line would run. No survey has yet been made, and when the work of surveying does begin, a half dozen or more routes will be surveyed before one is determined upon. But without having any authority to speak definitely or otherwise upon the subject, we venture to reiterate the opinion heretofore expressed in these columns that the road will be built to the town of Anaheim. This opinion is based solely upon our general knowledge of the drift of railroad schemes, and is not founded upon anything that Mr. Perris said or did not say. And if Anaheim does not vet become a railroad town of considerable importance, then indeed we will be most grievously mistaken. But in this instance, as in every other prosperity will not come to a people unwilling to work to secure it. Greatness is not Fishermen's luck sometimes attend the efforts of enthusiastic sportsmen with the gun. A large party of gentlemen went hunting for three days last week and on balancing accounts they found that each duck which they had killed had cost on an average $250. This is exclusive of the fun. A drunken fellow (a stranger in town) followed some ladies on Sunday evening and insulted them. His reward was a sentence of imprisonment for sixty days, administered by Justice Pierce. A similar sentence was passed upon Solferino Justo, convicted of indecent exposure. Mr. J. K. Tuffree has his warehouse hear the depot filled from floor to ceiling with a first class quality of hay, and has opened a store for the sale of hay, grain, flour and feed in Conrad's brick building on Los Angeles street. Those in need of such commodities will find them all to be of first quality and sold at marvellously low rates. At the meeting of the Directors of the A. U. W. Co. on last Saturday, a resolution was adopted fixing the price of water at 50 cents per head per hour, and water is now sold at that rate. Night water is sold at half that rate, which would make the rate $9 for a run of twenty-four hours. This price is fixed with the expectation that the sale of water will pay the running expenses of the company. For the Holidays M. Dobner, of the San Francisco Cash Store has made material reductions in prices on all goods suitable for Christmas presents. Railroad Items. [Riverside Press, Dec. 8] The track of the Riverside, Santa Ana & Los Angeles Railway Company has been laid into Riverside as far as the Eighth-street depot to-day, and the work of driving the piling for the bridge across the Arroyo Seco at Dr. Hall's place was commenced on Monday morning. A train of cars in Riverside, within half a mile of the business center, is a novelty that creates a little enthusiasm in the minds of our people. The surveyors are at work locating and making estimates on the line down the Santa Ana bedrock canyon, and the grading force are awaiting orders to proceed with the grade down the valley. It is probable that the trains will be run into Riverside at an early day—perhaps before the close of this week. The sound of the locomotive whistle on the Riverside, Santa Ana & Los Angeles Railroad sounds nearer each day as the track laying progresses, and in a few days regular trains will receive and land passengers at our Eighth-street depot from all parts of the world. "Great is Riverside, and the railroad is its profit." Work of surveying the railroad line down Development Gazette are different sources of water. M. Co. declines in the Anaheim river, and they deposition made by two guarantee a rejection of water of small money formulated proposition more evidence and evoke with any desire. Riverside, Dec. 9.—The Riverside, Santa Ana & Los Angeles Railroad completed the laying of its rails to the city of Riverside today at 12 o'clock, and soon trains will run regularly to this point. The Value of Water. In the discussion preceding the adoption of the resolution of the Directors of the A. U. W. Co., raising the price of water, several very pertinent illustrations of the value of water were given. Mr. McFadden said that three years ago he had rented twenty acres of land from Mr. Melrose. He bought $750 worth of water, irrigated the land, planted it, and harvested therefrom 50 tons of hay, thirty tons of which he sold for $15 a ton, and reserved twenty tons for his own use. Again, he had rented 7 acres of land, put $150 worth of water on it, and raised 115 sacks of barley which he sold for $125 a sack. Mr. B. F. Porter related his experience. He irrigated fifteen acres of land with $18 worth of water and his crop of hay amounted to 45 tons which he sold for $10 a ton. In the instances specified, there would not have been a grain of barley or wisp of hay raised had the land not been irrigated. The relation of these experiences was called forth by the objection that no one could afford to pay more than 25 cents per hour for one head of water for agricultural purposes. This idea would seem to be thoroughly refuted by such facts as above set forth. A most ingenious cupboard has been devised and built by E. G. Huntington, the carpenter, whose shop is on Los Angeles street. It contains ample storage room for meat, vegetables and the general paraphernalia of the kitchen, and has a receptacle into which a hundred pounds of flour can be poured, and drawn just as needed by an ingenious slide. A baking board and other conveniences make it the most complete device of the kind imaginable, and it is a nice bookie piece of furniture besides. It takes up but little room. There are two sizes, Placentia Hall, Dec. 5, 1885. Ed. Gazette:—The Placentia Literary meet at the usual hour. The meeting was called to order by the president.

There was a goodly turnout to the Sunday school last Sunday. If we expect such thinkers of our boys and girls as Daniel Webster, who said of the bible, "I have read it through many times. It is a book of all others for lawyers as well as divines, and I pity the man who cannot find in it a rich supply of thought and rule for conduct," and Queen Victoria who said, in response to a question and touching the bible, "Tell your Prince that this is the secret of England's then greatest treasure."

They have "struck lie" with a vengeance at the Pueblo, about 7 miles north-east of Anaheim. On last Wednesday, when the well was visited by Mr. W. M. Bailey, they were bucketting the oil out at the rate of three buckets in a minute and a half. There are three buckets to the barrel, which would make the product of the well forty barrels of oil an hour. There was no probability of the well being exhausted, which fact was a source of pregnant grief to the proprietor, Mr. Lacy, because it interfered with his plans of passing the well down to a depth of over a thousand feet. The well is now but 550 feet deep. The experienced oil-boys whom he has working for him say it is the most promising well they have ever seen. A man named John Black of Newhall, accompanied by another man, on Saturday night went up the Soledad Canyon from Newhall to smoke out the bees from a bee tree, which he supposed was full of honey. While waiting for the smoke to do its work on the honey gathering insects, the men lay down by the fire and slept, when the long skirt of Black's coat took fire, and when awakened his clothes were on fire on one of his sides and his breast. Before the fire could be extinguished, Black was drastically burned, his breast and side literally roasted and his clothes nearly burned off. In the morning he was taken to Newhall and placed on the train for Los Angeles, where he was placed in the County Hospital. Dr. Lindley, the County Physician, considers his case exceedingly critical. The sufferer is a man about fifty years old. In Santa Ana, at 6 o'clock on Monday morning, the horses attached to an express wagon being left unattended for a moment, improved the opportunity to run away. They attempted to run into their stable, but were prevented by the doors being shut. Continuing in their wild career they turned the corner of Main and Fourth streets just as E. N. Ulma was crossing the street. The pole of the wagon struck him on the back, impaling him, and he was carried along about twenty feet when his body fell to the thoughtful readers of our country.

C. J. REED. Native Sons of the Golden West, Last Wednesday evening the young Pacific Coasters of Anaheim finally effected a permanent organization. Deputy District Grand President Homer C. Katz, assisted by a delegation from Los Angeles, instituted the parlor under the name of Invincible Parlor No. 74. N. S. G. W. Sixteen members signed the roll. The officers elected and installed were as follows: President, H. C. Kellogg; 1st Vice President, A. V. Smith; 24 Vice President, D. Rich; 3d Vice President, S. D. Bishop; Post President, A. Runnin; Recording Secretary, O. Luske; Financial Secretary, F. C. Smythe; Treasurer, G. Zeye; Marshal, J. Langenberger; Outside Sentinel, A. Davis; Inside Sentinel, L. G. Kellogg; Trustees, H. Bremmerman, Chas. E. Stone; C. Smith. Much enthusiasm was manifested and the parlor was placed upon a secure footing. After the installation ceremonies the members adjourned to the Planters' Hotel where an elegant collation was spread. All did full justice to the good things displayed, and toasts were draunk to Invincible Parlor No. 74, Los Angeles Parlor No. 45, the Order, the State, our Native Daughters, winding up with three rousing cheers for mine host and hostess, Mr. and Mrs. Mitchell.

The 600 walnut trees on the orchard of the Southern California Semi-Tropical Fruit Company (of which R. H.

Considering the labor required, the walnut is one of the most profitable of crops. The municipal election in Los Angeles resulted in the election of six Republican and two Democratic councilmen.
