Mrs. Nicholas Berkeley is visiting her parents, Mr. and Mrs. Werder, and will remain here a month or six weeks. J. F. Burns, an ex-Sheriff of Los Angeles county, who has been living at Ainsworth, Nebraska, for a number of years, is about to return to live in Los Angeles. W. G. Curtis, Superintendent of Tracks of the Southern Pacific, paid a flying visit to his parents in Anaheim some days ago, arriving in the evening and departing the next morning. Mrs. and Miss Hartmann left on Tuesday for a visit to San Francisco. Mrs. Hartmann's brother, Mr. Thiele, died in that city on Monday. The deceased was a brother-in-law of Theo Reiser. Matthew Yost, the boy who was recently a waiter in the Anaheim Hotel, but lately of the Santa Ana Hotel, was in town this week, and said he was now engaged at work in the Taylor House in Santa Ana under the management of Chas. Randall, formerly of Anaheim. Mr. and Mrs. Jochim of Alameda, who have been the guests of Mr. and Mrs. Fred Hartung, received a telegram on Sunday that their son, Adolph, was dead. They left on Sunday afternoon's train, accompanied by Mrs. Hartung. The deceased had been in ill health for some time, but his death was not expected. He leaves a wife. Real Estate Values. There has been great activity in the real estate market during the week. The almost certain fact that the work of building the new railroad from Anaheim to Los Angeles will begin within a very short time has caused a boomlet in land and town lots, and a large number of sales have been made. The buyers are mostly Los Angeles people, and many are known to be thoroughly informed regarding future developments. Real estate is rapidly enhancing in value, but is still far below the ruling prices elsewhere. Land especially adapted to the growth of citrus fruits is held at from $125 to $150 per acre with water rights, and land that is adapted for citrus fruits is equally well adapted for any other kind of fruit. Now is the accepted time to buy, for within six months there is not an area of land in Anaheim.

Now is the accepted time to buy, for within six months there is not an acre of land in Anaheim and vicinity that will not have doubled in price. Flower Festival. The W.C.T.U. of Santa Ana will hold a flower festival in Spurgeon’s Hall, commencing Tuesday evening, May 17th, and continuing through the week, day and evening. A change of programme will be made every evening. A booth will be assigned to each of the neighboring towns if they will provide suitable persons to take charge of and responsible for the same. Refreshments, such as ice cream, cakes, coffee, etc., will be furnished. The object of the festival is to raise funds to erect temperance headquarters, public library, reading room, etc., at Santa Ana. An especial invitation is extended to the people of Anaheim to assist at the festival, and the ladies of Santa Ana hope that the Anaheim ladies will establish an Anaheim booth and adorn it with the rare and beautiful flowers now growing so profusely in its gardens. Further particulars can be had by addressing Mrs. C.E. French or B.Z.G. Van Cleve, Santa Ana. Decoration Day. It is four or five years since Decoration Day was observed in Anaheim, though the cemetery holds the remains of a number of old soldiers who served their country well and whose memory should be honored. Malvern Hill Post, G.A.R., organized during the past year, does not propose to allow this neglect to continue, and at their meeting on Saturday night they resolved that Monday, May 30th, should be properly observed, and appointed Comrades Packard, Gale Baker and Hounsom a committee to prepare a programme of exercises for the day. All ex soldiers are invited to join with Malvern Hill Post in the ceremonies, and the co-operation of the citizens generally is heartily desired. Wells, Fargo & Co. There are packages for the following persons in W., F. & Co.’s Express Office: Harry Riesback, W.F Patterson, Mrs J.B McCullough, Grant Bros., Mrs Erolinda Yorba, James A Whitaker, Ed Brenat, Miss Nettie May. Articles of incorporation have been filed by the Olive Milling, Land and Improvement Company. The purpose is to carry on the fleuring and milling business and deal in real estate at Burruel Point. The directors are Louis Schorn, of Anaheim; Thomas Dillin, of Olive; R.J.Blee, of Santa Ana; W.W.Martin, of Tustin City; George T.Insley, of Santa Ana; C.Z.Culver or Orange. Meeting of W.

A Vigorous Ed.Gazette.-You rary, or a correspondent The ladies of the Presbyterian church will give a social entertainment at Kroeger's Hall to-morrow (Friday) evening, at which music, tableaux, etc., will be given. Strawberries, ice cream and cake will be served. Admission, 25 cents. Adjutant General Keith, of the Corps of Rabbit Exterminators, has issued orders for the final hunt of the season, which will take place on Saturday at 10 o'clock. Everybody with a gun is invited to the slaughter. The meet will be at Browning Bros. There is no accounting for tastes. Gen. Shanklin, who is now in Sacramento, told a Record-Union reporter that he likes the climate of Sacramento better than that of Southern California. We didn't know that Sacramento had any climate. The 30-acre vineyard in North Anaheim, owned by John Hartung, has been sold to Gowen & Morgan for $6500. Mr. Hartung has now only his 20-acre home place, which we hope he will be unable to sell. If he did it is possible he would remove to some other city, and we can ill afford to spare so good a citizen. The pumping plant purchased by the S. A. V. I. Co. is being put in position at a point in the river where the lift of water from the river to the ditch will be but seven feet. The Yorba lake is not to be utilized at present. Caissons will be sunk in the river, and the water pumped from them into the ditch. The plant will probably be in operation next week. The busy bee is a great nuisance when he is out of his place, and he is out of his place very generally just now. They are awarming everywhere, and seem to have a special penchant for churches and school houses. One of B. H. Kerrick's workmen, while plowing in the orchard the other day, drove into a warm which had settled on a tree. They immediately changed quarters on to the man and horse, with stinging reailles. Articles of incorporation have been filed by the Olive Milling, Land and Improvement Company. The purpose is to carry on the flouring and milling business and deal in real estate at Burruel Point. The directors are Louis Schorn, of Anaheim; Thomas Dillin, of Olive; R. J. Blee, of Santa Ana; W. W. Martin, of Tustin City; George T. Inley, of Santa Ana; C. Z. Culver, of Orange, and P. Vandermelen, of Tustin City. Capital stock, $50,000, all subscribed. It will be painful news to the friends of Ernest Browning to know that his recent illness has culminated in an affection of the brain, of such a nature that it was deemed advisable to place him under the care of the physicians in the insane asylum. He was taken to Los Angeles yesterday for examination and commitment. It is hoped and expected that his malady is but temporary. G. A. Ruddock is preparing to plant 40 acres of gum trees on the 320 acres in Fairview district purchased from A. Krug by T. S. Ruddock. There is going to be big money in gum groves in the bye and bye. Fuel is getting scarcer all the time, and fuel consumers are getting more and more numerous, so there can be but one result. The New Era is the name of Anaheim's new paper, the first number of which was issued last Friday. The assurance given in its editorial columns that it is not going to crush anybody was scarcely necessary. It is a very neat typographic production, as is everything which comes under the supervision of the foreman, Mr. Bryden. We congratulate our friend P. A. Schumacher on his marriage, which event occurred on Tuesday, and trust that a long and happy married life is in store for him. Lieb's new saloon opposite the postoffice has been nearly renovated and repaired. He will open on Saturday and extends an invitation to his friends to call. MAKE WAY FOR THE CROWD. It is enough to make even a real-estate agent uneasy when he reflects on the coming hordes of people who will deluge this county next fall, winter and spring. If there is anything calculated to give the fraternity the cold chills, it is to be unable to show to a would-be purchaser just the piece of land he is looking for, and the indications are promising that this dilemma will confront the agents next fall. The thousands who have purchased land in Los Angeles county this season have doubled and trebled their money in nearly every instance, and of course they are enthusiastic in their praise of the country. They will sing their pains in thousands of letters, and will so enthuse their friends in the East that they will descend upon us as an avalanche. Not only this, but all the influence of the Atchison and Southern Pacific railroads will be used to cause a large immigration, and the excursion agents are even now girding up their loins, figuratively speaking, to eclipse their efforts of the past season. Advertising literature by the million is being prepared, and will be scattered broadcast where it will do the most good, and the result cannot fail to be as we predict. But room will be made somehow for the coming throng. Large ranchos will perforce be divided up into five and ten acre tracts, because land will be too valuable to be kept intact in large bodies. This whole county will in a few years be held in small tracts as indicated, and will under such conditions become a veritable garden. The Railroad Programme. We have it from a gentleman who was recently in San Francisco, and who has some inside information, that the Southern Pacific will not extend their line from Santa Ana to San Diego. The chief reason for this change of intention is the enormous cost of construction through the only route left open to the S. P. as the California Central long ago acquired the one natural route for a railroad. Gen. Superintendent Fillmore of the S. P., in conversation with a Tribune reporter, confirmed the report that their road is not to be extended. LOCAL BREVITIES. The verandah around the bakery has been trusted to a coat of paint, thereby greatly improving its appearance. W. W. Weaver has the contract for painting the new house of J. E. Karnes recently built in Orangethorpe district. A. E. Hendricks and family have moved into the new dwelling house recently erected by him on Sycamore street. The office of the Pioneer Truck and Transfer Line is now located in the Anaheim Hotel building, in the room adjoining the tailor shop. Mrs. Scott has rented the main building at Anaheim Landing, and will conduct a boarding house during the summer season the same as last year. S. B. Snedaker went East yesterday and will introduce the excellent wines and brands of Chas. Otto Rust into the Easter market. George Miller has awarded the contract for moving his house from its present location to the lot on the Center tract to George M. Walker, the house mover, of Los Angeles. Alexander Henry's sons find a profitable occupation in supplying the Los Angeles markets with jack rabbits. They shipped three sacks of rabbits the other day, and the cry is still for more. A variety of strawberry is grown by John Hunter which beats anything in that line heretofore produced. The berries are as large as peaches, and their size is not at the expense of their flavor. Messrs. Ey & Groot of Anabeim recently erected a building in South Riverside, which has been leased by W. J. Ree, and will be fitted up as a saloon. Billy started for his new domain on Monday. A portion of Los Angeles street has been strawed in the sandy spots. We suggest that it would be a good idea to straw Center street from the depot to a point near Helena street. The iron front for Langenberger's new building was erected a few days ago by some foundry employees from Los Angeles. And now let the bricklayers proceed with their work. In consequence of the recent hot weather, a demand for lemons of good quality has sprung up. Growers in Anabeim are having their fruit picked and packed for shipment. John Smythe had a rough experience in endeavoring to break a colt some days ago by being violently thrown from the cart he was driving, and which was overturned. No other damage resulted except the breaking COUNTY NEWS. The trial of Bodkin, the slayer of Elam at Orange, begins on Saturday before Judge Cheney. Horace Burdick, a resident of this county since 1859, died in Los Angeles on Saturday evening of apoplexy. The Fifth Annual Convention of the Los Angeles County Sabbath School Association will be held in Los Angeles on June 14th and 15th. The Times is defendant in another libel suit. The owners of the Gladstone property want $200,000 damages for the publication of alleged defamatory articles concerning the title to the land. The town of Santa Monica charges a saloon license of $300 per quarter, and seven saloons have closed in consequence. There are, however, nine saloons doing business, all of whom have paid the quarter's license. In Los Angeles on Saturday Eddie Curran, a fifteen-year old boy, was pushed from a street car by some companions with whom he was playing, and the cars passed over his legs, breaking them both. His right leg has been amputated. John W. Bixby, one of the owners of Los Alamitos rancho, died on last Friday of inflammation of the bowels, aged 39 years. He was sick but a few days. Mr. Bixby was well known in Anaheim, and his family have the sympathy of many friends here. The Times says that another very important deal at Fulton Wells has been consummated. A Quaker company, known as the Pickering Land and Water Company, has purchased Burch & Boal's fine 1300 acre ranch there for $70,000, the transfer being made yesterday. They have also purchased 3000 acres up in the hills for $40,000; to get a good water supply. Jonathan Dailey is president of the company, and Hervey Lindley secretary. They propose to found a Quaker colony there, dividing their big tract into five and ten-acre parcels. It is an excellent enterprise, and means most solid prosperity for that section. The Quakers are good people in any place. Garden Grove Gossip. A son was born to the wife of Rev. Ira Woodman on Sunday morning, May 1. The grievance entertained by some of our grape growers against McPherson Brose has been settled satisfactorily to all parties. The feeling was caused through the carelessness of one of the McPherson employees. Mr Huff has sold his residence and four-acre lot on Stanford avenue to Mr Johnson The Railroad Programme. We have it from a gentleman who was recently in San Francisco, and who has some inside information, that the Southern Pacific will not extend their line from Santa Ana to San Diego. The chief reason for this change of intention is the enormous cost of construction through the only route left open to the S.P. as the California Central long ago acquired the one natural route for a railroad. Gen. Superintendent Fillmore of the S.P., in conversation with a Tribune reporter, confirmed the report that their road is not to be extended. There are indications also that the California Central will build their road from Anaheim to Los Angeles sooner than they themselves anticipated. They have a large force of graders whom it will be economy to keep employed, and as they have not yet secured a right of way across the San Joaquin ranch it is expected they will transfer their force to this point and begin grading from Anaheim northward. The Times says that the Southern Utah Railroad is to be pushed on down to Los Angeles; and that the chief engineer and the locating engineer of the Union Pacific are now in this county making the necessary arrangements thereto. They have located a feasible pass through the Sierra Madre by way of Millard canyon, which will let them out from the Mojave Desert into the San Fernando Valley. This route will, they claim, materially shorten the distance from Los Angeles to Chicago, making it 110 miles less than by any present line. The Union Pacific line from the present terminus will run down across the great desert, intersect the Atlantic and Pacific somewhere between Daggett and Waterman, and come from the Point of Rocks (a promontory on the Majave River below Lane's crossing) direct to the mountains, whose walls it will scale by the natural ladder of Millard's canyon. Meeting of Water Directors. At the regular meeting of the Directors of the A.U.W.Co. on Saturday, Ernest Browning tendered his resignation as director, as his ill health prevented him from attending to the duties of the office. The resignation was accepted, and A.McDermont unanimously chosen to fill the vacancy. Messrs. McFadden and Gilman reported that they had inspected that part of the Cajon ditch constructed by the railroad company, and found it too narrow in places. The Secretary was instructed to notify Division Engineer Fisher to make the necessary changes in the ditch. The application of D.Yorba to purchase the Cota tract was denied. The Secretary was instructed to ask the S.A.V.I.Co. to name its committee to confer with the committee of this company regarding getting injunctions against illegal appropriators of water and to appoint a day for conference. It was resolved that on and after the 21st instant, water be sold at 50 cents a head in the day time and 30 cents a head in the night time. Messrs. Gardiner and Hunter were appointed a committee to prepare a petition to the Supervisors, asking them to call an election under the Wright Irrigation bill. A Vigorous Protest. Ed.Gazette.-Your esteemed contemporary, or a correspondent thereof, makes a ter street from the depot to a point near Helena street. The iron front for Langenberger's new building was erected a few days ago by some foundry employees from Los Angeles. And now let the bricklayers proceed with their work.

John Smythe had a rough experience in endeavoring to break a colt some days ago by being violently thrown from the cart he was driving, and which was overturned. No other damage resulted except the breaking of the harness. Win H.Avery received ten wagon-loads of hogs from the Los Bolsas rancho on Monday, and shipped them to the wholesale markets. He is purchasing hogs from many other ranches, and is daily shipping the eaue. Juan Morales died on last Sunday morning of cancer of the stomach, having been sick but a few weeks. He was an aboriginal resident, as he was born near Anaheim about two score years ago, and has resided in this vicinity ever since. Davia & Co.of Anaheim Landing are building quite a lucrative business in the shipment of fish to the Los Angeles markets. They shipped 380 pounds last Friday, and propose to make daily shipments to that city henceforth. About twenty couple participated in the ball on last Friday night at Kroeger's Hall, given under the management of Mr. Weaver. It is hardly necessary to state that the young folks had an enjoyable time, as dancing was kept up until an early hour. A man who has been working the Pellegrin mine in the Santa Ana range has staked three claims about four miles above Leasant's. He was in town this week and exhibited specimens of ore, which is said by some here who have a knowledge of minerals to contain silver. Schindler's addition to Northam, Cahen & Nebelung's store has been completed, and the corrugated iron roof laid. The work of plastering the internal walls is also finished, and the carpenters are now putting in the doors and windows and completing the woodwork. John L.Schumacher, our townsman and owner of some valuable property in Anaheim, has entered into a co partnership with a Mr. Grumbach of Santa Ana in the establishment of a soda water factory at that place. Anaheim is already supplied with soda water from the new works. The great number of emplayers from Anaheim who departed for South-Riverside several weeks ago to work on the proposed flume five miles from that place, for which Sorensen & Grimshaw had the contract, are turning their steps homeward again, the work of constructing the flume having been completed. The rows of gum and pepper trees planted along the new streets through the Center tract are growing finely. The Town Trustees have during the past few weeks had a man engaged in housing around the trees to keep the earth loose around the roots. The trees are irrigated by water from the town tank, which is hauled to the respective trees in the street sprinkler. The musical entertainments given on Monday and Tuesday evenings in Kroeger's Hall by the Webster Family Concert Company were largely attended. The audiences were greatly pleased with the dexterity of little Carl Webster in handling a violin and bow, and playing difficult airs, also the admirable musical talent of his little sisters. Garden Grove Goes Up. A son was born to the wife of Rev. Ira Woodman on Sunday morning, May 1. The grievance entertained by some of our grape growers against McPherson Brose has been settled satisfactorily to all parties. The feeling was caused through the carelessness of one of the McPherson employees. Mr.Huff has sold his residence and four-acre lot on Stanford avenue to Mr.Johnson for $800, who was offered an advance of $200 for his bargain next day, but did not dispose of the lot. Mr.Evans has sold forty-eight acres, fronting on the Boulevard, for $100 per acre to Eastern parties. He has taken up his residence in Mr.Johnson's house until he can find a new location. It is authoritatively stated that the Santa Fe people have purchased the Bixby ranch, and that work will soon commence on the railroad between Orange and Long Beach. The road will run through the center of Garden Grove, down the Boulevard to the coast. This will somewhat impair the beauty of our popular driveway, but there are many other beautiful pleasure drives that can be utilized when the iron takes the romantic beauty from the Boulevard. Several of our real estate holders are withdrawing their land from the market, and waiting for the boom. There are a few very fine properties for sale here that intending purchasers would do well to examine before selecting elsewhere. Farmers are cutting first crop of alfalfa, and a fair yield is reported. Most of our people went out picnicing on May Day. The greater number went to the Santiago Canyon, and a few to Long Beach. Grandpa Woodman leaves to morrow for his old home in Virgil, Kane county, Illinois. He will return in the fall. The young people's Tuesday evening prayer meetings have been discontinued for the summer. The regular Thursday evening praver meeting will be held as usual. Dow Chaffee was offered $100 an acre for his farm. He is undecided whether to accept offer or wait for the boom which is sure to come. The railroad from Anaheim to Long Beach will pass through the northwest corner of the Grove. GARDEN GROVE, May 9. A Co-operative Cannery Needed. The fruit growers of this valley who will this season harvest a satisfactory crop of apricots, peaches, plums and other fruits anticipate that good prices will be paid for the fruit at the canneries, in consequence of last year's deficient supply. It is said that the canneries will soon commence operations, and as a matter of course will endear it to obtain different varieties of fruit, carefully picked and packed, and delivered at the canneries, at insignificant prices. This has been the experience of many growers in this valley in years gone by. The canneries have the advantage over growers, for if they cannot purchase fruit at their own law fixed rates they decline to pay the prices demanded by the growers. And further, unless a grower immediately disposes of his crop of apricots, for instance, picking them as they mature each day, there is danger of fruit falling to the ground and decaying. As soon as the grower realizes this fact, he is willing, or rather compelled, to tract into five and ten-acre parcels. It is an excellent enterprise, and means most solid prosperity for that section. The Quakers are good people in any place. regarding getting injunctions against illegal appropriators of water and to appoint a day for conference. It was resolved that on and after the 21st instant, water be sold at 50 cents a head in the day time and 30 cents a head in the night time. Messrs. Gardiner and Hunter were appointed a committee to prepare a petition to the Supervisors, asking them to call an election under the Wright Irrigation bill. A Vigorous Protest. Ed. Gazette.—Your esteemed contemporary, or a correspondent thereof, makes a statement so at variance with the facts and so untruthful that I feel bound to deny and denounce it. Under the heading "Placentia Items" is the following statement; "The vineyardists of this vicinity are feeling rather blue over the prospects of the present year. Apparently the greater part of the vines are dying." This is a most atrocious libel on this vicinity, and I defy the writer to prove his assertion. The vinyards of Placentia are in the main looking as well as they ever did, and the crop of grapes promises to be far in excess of last year. The Era may not desire to crush anybody, as it says, but if it continues to link the names of respected and respectable citizens with those of notorious and filthy prostitutes, and allow its columna to be used to the wanton injury of the community, it will succeed in crushing somebody besides itself. PLACENTIA Precocious Walnut Trees. The objection to planting walnut trees has herefore been the long time between planting and fruition—generally ten years. That is a long time to wait for an income, and the majority of the settlers who came to this county previous to the past two or three years could ill afford to plant extensive walnut orchards. It has been reserved for our friend A. McDermont, of Orange-thorpe district, to demonstrate that a better variety than the old English walnut can be grown and fruited within a reasonable time. He has a large number of soft shell walnut trees which he planted three years ago when they were one year old. These trees are now heavily loaded with fruit, and give promise of yielding an abundant crop. Elections for School Trustees will be held in the various school districts throughout the county on the first Saturday in June. D.W.C. Cowan is the retiring Trustee in this district. The rows of gum and pepper trees planted along the new streets through the Center tract are growing finely. The Town Trustees have during the past few weeks had a man engaged in hoosing around the trees to keep the earth loose around the roots. The trees are irrigated by water from the town tank, which is hauled to the respective trees in the street sprinkler. The musical entertainments given on Monday and Tuesday evenings in Kroeger's Hall by the Webster Family Concert Company were largely attended. The audiences were greatly pleased with the dexterity of little Carl Webster in handling a violin and bow, and playing difficult airs, as also the admirable musical talent of his little sisters. The Town of St. James. An important deal has been consummated between J.R.Toberman, the owner of a large body of land near Burruel Point, and the Pacific Improvement Company, composed of officials of the California Central R.R. Company. The contract provides that in consideration of a certain interest in the land (rumored to be 150 acres) the Company agrees to grade streets, build a reservoir of a capacity of not less than three millions of gallons, and lay iron pipes from the reservoir through the town. The water pressure will be 100 feet at the depot, which has been located near the present Olive school house. Roll of Honor. The following is the Anaheim Public School roll of honor for the month ending May 5, 1887: 1st Department—Floy Roberts, Maggie Higgins, James Rimpan, Fred Hilmer, Maude McDowell, Frank Darling. 2nd Department—Jessie Melrose, Martha Hartung, Emma Hilmer, Mena Bauer, Annie Booge, Loqise Bennasheidt, Bartha Krug, Stella Marion, Flora Davis, Mai Polhemus, Harry Davis, Arthur Fox, Otto Krug, Willie Barr, Charlie Boege, Carl Menzel. 4th Department—Bessie Baker, Francisco Silvae, Addie Wallop, Ernest Anderson, Get your Job Printing done in your Own Town. By a liberal use of money in procuring the latest styles of type, and by first class workmanship, the Gazette hopes to deserve the patronage of all its readers who need any kind of job printing. Neither in style nor cheapness of printing can this office be surpassed. Get your printing done in your own town. the canneries will soon commence operations, and as a matter of course will endeavor to obtain the different varieties of fruit, carefully picked and packed, and delivered at the canneries, at insignificant prices.

And further, unless a grower immediately disposes of his crop of apricots, for instance, picking them as they mature each day, there is danger of the fruit falling to the ground and decaying. As soon as the grower realizes this fact, he is willing, or rather compelled, to sell the crop at the fixed prices of the canning company, the principal advantage being the latter's ability to defer the purchase, while the grower is compelled to gather his crop as rapidly as possible, for the reason stated above. The intention of establishing a co-operative cannery in this valley has long since been discussed, but up to the present time no definite action in the matter has been taken by the most prominent and extensive horticulturists. At no distant day we may hope and expect to see such a cannery in operation in this valley, when every borticulturist will receive his just remuneration for the increased work performed in the cultivation of his orchard.

This new and rising town and commercial center is now being plotted and laid out into business and residence lots, acre lots and five and ten-acre tracts. The Grand Avenue will be 100 feet wide and one-half mile long, with a row of Pepper trees, Century Plants, etc., through the center. Buena Park Will be a station on the great Santa Fe railroad, 20 miles southeast of Los Angeles. It is 10 miles from the ocean, and the ocean breezes make BUENA PARK the finest summer as well as winter climatic resort on the whole coast. Buena Park Will offer inducements to settlers. Unequalled soil unsurpassed for fertility. Plowing artesian wells obtained at 106 feet. Each purchaser can have his own well and not be subject to perpetual assessments for water. Buena Park Will be on two great trans-continental railways. The Southern Pacific runs through it. Almond Station being only half a mile from this tract of land. The Santa Fe will build a fine station house opposite the PARK, which is being laid out by an experienced landscape gardener. Buena Park Will draw the trading and shipping from a finely settled country on the east, south and west, and thus step to the front as soon as the Santa Fe road reaches the town.
