THE COUNTY OF ORANGE The Division Bill Certain to Pass. Signals of the Provisions of the Bill The First Election on June 14th Present Boundaries and Prevailing Increase of Area Two Years Memory It is probable the Senate passed the Orange county bill yesterday, although the legislature could not ascertain that fact up to the hour of going to press. With the objection of Senator White withdrawn, as noted in another column, there is now little doubt as to the final outcome of the matter. The bill was made, the special order for February, having already passed its second reading in the upper house. The Glenn county bill passed, the Senate on Tuesday. A dispatch received from Sacramento on Monday afternoon stated the Orange county bill had passed a second reading unanimously in the Senate and would probably pass that body on Wednesday. This was brought about by a change of opinion upon the part of the residents of Los Angeles, many of whom signed a petition in favor of division. There is no doubt that Senator White would have contended the bill at every step, but for two unlooked-for change among the Los Angeles people. His time is too greatly preempted during the closing hours of the signature to give attention to the Orange county bill now that the merchants of Los Angeles have seen fit to take this course. Speaking upon this radical change in position among Los Angeles business men, the following letter from Sacramento, writing during the latter part of last week, will some light: When the bill was first introduced there was great content against it in the city of Angola, and indeed throughout the county of Los Angeles not included in the limits of the proposed county of Orange. The press of Los Angeles opposed this proposition so strongly that it must considered among the things present any compromises could ever be effected between the contending factions. The measure was daily discussed at the capital, the hotels, at the hotels and in many of newspapers of the State. Suddenly was an apparent falling off of interest in question, and subsequent investigation showed that a number of Los Angeles people who had at first most strongly opposed the bill had grown lukewarm or lost interest in the matter altogether. This revival for it amounts almost to that; in the sanctuary water company district the federal values of all property in both counties and shall find a balance of the total assets and indebtedness of Los Angeles county and if there exists a balance of debtors against that county, the same is to be divided pro rata between the two. In case the commissioner finds a balance of assets over and above liabilities in favor of Los Angeles county the same shall be divided as above. All actions pending trial in the Superior Courts of Los Angeles, in which the defendants are residents of Orange county, are to be transferred for trial and final determination to the Superior Court of the latter county. The new county is to be attached to the Thirty-ninth Senatorial District and the Seventy-eighth Assembly District, and until the new appointment shall join Los Angeles county in electing a senator and Assemblyman from said district. The boundaries of Orange county are as follows: Beginning at a point in the Pacific ocean three miles southwest of the center of the mouth of Coyote Creek, proceeding up said creek in a northwestern direction, until it intersects the township line between townships three south, of ranges ten and eleven west; thence north on said township line to the northwest corner of section six, township three south, range ten west; thence east on said township line until it intersects the boundary line between San Bernardino and Los Angeles counties; thence along said boundary southeasterly until it intersects the boundary line of San Diego county; thence along said line southwest until it reaches the Pacific coast; thence in the same direction to a point three miles in said Pacific coast; thence in northwesterly line parallel to said coast to the point of beginning. The Los Angeles Herald, which has been principal newspaper at the county-seat to oppose division, contained on Tuesday the following paragraph, going to show that division seemed inevitable at that time: The bill to erect, out of the southern portion of Los Angeles, the new county of Orange, will in all probability become a law. The adoption of a resolution by the Senate permitting any member to call up a bill out of order, will relieve this measure from its present position low down upon the file. Senator McComas will doubtless avail himself of his privilege and place the bill upon its passage. There are forty members of the Senate, and but sixteen of them can be counted upon to vote against the measure. The only hope for its defeat lies in the influence and eloquence of Senator White. But it is hardly possible that, at this last stage of the season, when every member has committed himself one way or other some having abolished with the friends of the bill for their votes on others measures that even Mr. White's powerful appeal will be effective. Besides, the apathy of our people on the subject, and the recent development that some of our leading citizens have signed a petition that can be congruded into favoring division, are calculated to throw cold water upon any effort our Senator might otherwise feel called upon to make. SENATOR WHITE: Widow was of Miss Objection to County Borough. A letter was received on Tuesday by Richard Melrose from Senator White with reference to his position on the county division bill. Mr. White has been open and consistent opponent of the measure, and if he had been let alone we believe he would have accomplished its defeat, though he was single-handed in the fight. But when his immediate constituents in Los Angeles "fall down," and asked him to withdraw his position, he could not be expected to continue his thankless task. More especially in this case as in order to defend the measure, it would be necessary for him to abandon his seat as presiding officer and start upon a regular filibustering scheme, thus improving the passage of the General Appropriation bill. In carrying out this programme, his-position would be a most unenviable one, and one which the opponents of division have no right to expect him to take under the circumstances. For his manly stand in this matter of division he is entitled to the thanksaof those who believe she scheme is a mistake, and he is, as well, entitled to the respect of those whom he opposed. He had a right to oppose the measure, and he did so in open and manly way characteristic of the man. As long as he believed that it was the wish of his constituents that the county should not be divided, he fought division, but he ceased his opposition when requested by those whom he is justified in believing represent the sentiments of his constituents. We suggest to our cathedral contemporaries of Santa Ana that they make amends to Senator White for the various and sandry harsh things they have said about him. A great country against it in the city of Angeles, and indeed throughout the county of Los Angeles not included in the limits of the proposed county of California. The press of Los Angeles opposed this proposition so strongly that it was considered among the things possessing any compromises could ever be effected on the contending factions. The issue was daily discussed at the capital, the hotels, and in many newspapers of the State. Suddenly it was an apparent falling off of interest in the question, and subsequent investigation showed that a number of Los Angeles who had at first most strongly oppose the bill, had grown lukewarm or lost in the matter altogether. This revival for it amounts almost to that in the opinion of a gentleman well qualified upon the subject the new deal to allow Los Angeles to set itself up and county government, Pomona city to be organized somewhat as at present mentioned for, and Orange county to inform territory between Coyote Creek and now boundary line of Los Angeles. This gave Orange county all the territory in region of Downey Whittier, Riverside, Norwalk, etc. The opinion of a gentleman well qualified upon the subject the new deal to allow Los Angeles to set itself up and county government, Pomona city to be organized somewhat as at present mentioned for, and Orange county to inform territory between Coyote Creek and now boundary line of Los Angeles. This gave Orange county all the territory in region of Downey Whittier, Riverside, Norwalk, etc. The programme is to be carried by the new county will at once push political and financial importance onto itself as may well demand due recognition among the counties of the State. A present assessment roll of over twelve million dollars to begin with sanguine people Santa Ana believe, with the addition above to make in two years time, the new city wealth will be troubled in that time, which provides them on the first Monday of the second month next succeeding passage of the act, the Board of Supervisors shall call an election to be held on first Tuesday after the first Monday of fourth following. The election will thus happen June 14. If at this election two more of the qualified electors vote for the establishment of the county, some shall go into effect and the county published. If less than two-thirds of electors vote in favor of the proposition same shall not come into existence, some shall not come into existence, some shall not come into existence, some shall not come into existence, some shall not come into existence, some shall not come into existence, some shall not come into existence, some shall not come into existence, some shall not come into existence, some shall not come into existence, some shall not come into existence, some shall not come into existence, some shall not come into existence, some shall not come into existence, some shall not come into existence, some shall not come into existence, some shall not come into existence, some shall not come into existence, some shall not come into existence, some shall not come into existence, some shall not come into existence, some shall not come into existence, some shall not come into existence, some shall not come into existence, some shall not come into existence, some shall not come into existence, some shall not come into existence, some shall not come into existence, some shall not come into existence, some shall not come into existence, some shall not come into existence, some shall not come into existence, some shall not come into existence, some shall not come into existence, some shall not come into existence, some shall not come into existence, some shall not come into existence, some shall not come into existence, some shall not come into existence, some shall not come into existence, some shall not come into existence, some shall not come into existence, some shall not come into existence, some shall not come into existence, some shall not come into existence, some shall not come into existence, some shall not come into existence, some shall not come into existence, some shall not come into existence, some shall not come into existence, some shall not come into existence, someshallnotcomeintotheexistence,someshallnotcomeintotheexistence,someshallnotcomeintotheexistence,someshallnotcomeintotheexistence,someshallnotcomeintotheexistence,someshallnotcomeintotheexistence,someshallnotcomeintotheexistence,someshallnotcomeintotheexistence,someshallnotcomeintotheexistence,someshallnotcomeintotheexistence,someshallnotcomeintotheexistence,someshallnotcomeintotheexistence,someshallnotcomeintotheexistence,someshallnotcomeintotheexistence,someshallnotcomeintotheexistence,someshallnotcomeintotheexistence,someshallnotcomeintotheexistence,someshallnotcomeintotheexistence,someshallnotcomeintotheexistence,someshallnotcomeintotheexistence,someshallnotcomeintotheexistence,someshallnotcomeintotheexistence,someshallnotcomeintotheexistence,someshallnotcomeintotheexistence,someshallnotcomeintotheexistence,someshallnotcomeintotheexistence,someshallnotcomeintotheexistence,someshallnotcomeintotheexistence,someshallnotcomeintotheexistence,someshallnotcomeintotheexistence,someshallnotcomeintotheexistence,someshallnotcomeintotheexistence,someshallnotcomeintotheexistence,someshallnotcomeintotheexistence,someshallnotcomeintotheexistence,someshallnotcomeintotheexistence,someshallnotcomeintotheexistence,someshallnotcomeintotheexistence,someshallnotcomeintotheexistence,someshallnotcomeintotheexistence,someshallnotcomeintotheexistence,someshallnotcomeintotheexistence,someshallnotcomeintotheexistence,someshallnotcomeintotheexistence,someshallnotcomeintotheexistence,someshallnotcomeintotheexistence,someshallnotcomeintotheexistence,someshallnotcomeintotheexistence,someshallnotcomeintotheexistence,someshallnotcomeintotheexistence,someshallnotcomeintotheexistence,someshallnotcomeintotheexistence,someshallnotcomeINTOtheexistence,someshallnotcomeINTOtheexistence,someshallnotcomeINTOtheexistence,someshallnotcomeINTOtheexistence,someshallnotcomeINTOtheexistence,someshallnotcomeINTOtheexistence,someshallnotcomeINTOtheexistence,someshallnotcomeINTOtheexience,someshallnotcomeINTOtheexience,someshallnotcomeINTOtheexience,someshallnotcomeINTOtheexience,soneillshouldbeopposed.

Captain Ferguson of San Francisco was in town last week. D.W.C. Dimmick, an old-time resident of Anaheim, was in town during the week. Stateman Burton of the Herald staff was in town on Monday; suffering with a severe attack of county division fever. S.S. Federman left for San Francisco on Monday; to be gone or weak two. He will return with a large addition to his stock. J.B. McCullough of Placentia is a candidate for appointment as Postmaster at Anaheim,and has strong influences at work in his behalf. Charley Cook, who has been a resident of Anaheim for the past two years and over，leaves today for San Francisco，where he expects to engage his services in the Coast and Geodetic survey of Alaska. "Bob" Northam is spoken of as a member of the Los Angeles police commission. As Bob was for a long time Chief of Polices of Fullerton he has the makings of a creditable commissioner. H.C. Katz of Los Angeles was in town on Sunday. Accompanied by some of our Native Sons he proceeded to Santa Ana for the purpose of establishing a parlor there,and returned home in the evening. Miss Amanda Rawlins of Bedford，Ind.,who is on an extended visit to California,and Mrs.R.W.Bryant of Los Angeles，an old-time Bedford resident，were visitors in Anaheim one day last week. A Card Of Thanks. At the regular meeting of Anaheim Lodge,No 85,A.O.U.W.,held March 1st it was unanimously resolved that the heartiest thanks of the lodge be extended to all those whose kindly interest and active assistance contributed so largely to the full success of the entertainment on the evening of Feb.23;that thanks of the lodge are especially due to the lesses of the hall,Messas,Landell and Pellegrin,the many courtesies and favors shown themto Mrs.J.F. Thacker,the Missa Langenbergar and to Prof.Ferrari for their valuable services in the musical entertainment;and to all the ladies of St.Michael's Guild for their tireless efforts in making the banquet given in Anaheim.

"There’s no excuse for our getting under 30 cents a gallon for our wine," said President C. A. Wetmore of the Viticultural Commission. "Let’s dry all our grapes if we can’t get the prices we want. Let us organize as the orange man have organized and forced up the market so that you can’t get good oranges here under 4 cent spares, where they used to sell for a cent.

Perhaps it is rather late in the day to make the correction, but it may be as well yet to state that the assessed valuation of property in the county of Orange is not $12,000,000, as stated by the divisionists, but $7,390,000. This statement is based on the researches of Deputy Auditor Smith, and is reliable. The difference is only a matter of about five millions, but it will doubtless have some slight effect on the rate of taxation on the new county. It is very important in this age of vast material progress that a remedy be pleasing to the taste and to the eye, easily taken, acceptable to the stomach and healthy in its nature and affects. Possessing these qualities, Syrup of Figs is the one perfect laxative and most gentle diuretic known. There never before sat in the State Capital of California a more honest and well-meant man than Governor Waterman. Nobody can doubt, who is brought into contact with him, that any act of his is prompted by an earnest stance toward the representative of our original colonist for $2 or $3 an acre—certainly not more than $3. Grape growers. At a meeting of the grape-growers and winemakers’ association at San Francisco on Tuesday officers were elected for the ensuing term. The plan to hold monthly meetings to discuss tapes of timely interest was adopted. The present condition of the wine market was considered.

Spellman of Springfield, Democrat, ex State Senator, sleight-of-hand performer and good fellow, is in New York with Mrs. Spellman has a most engaging mountaineer and imperial. These hairstute adornments, in fact, resemble those of the great Herrmann. The other night the magician had in one of the boxes at the National Theatre, so distinguished as spectator as James G. Blains. He saw the future Secretary of State and his nerve failed him. But Spellman was in the audience, Herrmann knew him; he knew him by the reputation for legendary made in the Massachusetts Legislature. Hermann called Spellman to the stage for the almost superhuman exhibition of quiet nerve and dexterity. The audiences did not see the lightning change. The Springfield man was equal to the occasion. He deposited his hat on a neighboring table, rolled up his sleeves so that all might be perfectly fair and said: "James O. Blains, if you are in the cabinets give three knocks!" The house roared. Mr. Blains smiled and enjoyed it. After the performance he went behind the scenes to shake the hand of Spellman. Fresh Milk. On and after this date milk from J. J.

NATOR WHITE: at of His expedition on the General Approach. was received on Tuesday by some from Senator White with his position on the county district Mr. White has been an open opponent of the measures, and let alone we believe he would dislodge its defeat, though he was in the fight. But when his constituents in Los Angeles fell asked him to withdraw his appeal not be expected to contend less task. More especially in order to defend the measure necessary for him to abate the presiding officer and start in filibustering scheme, thus impasse of the General Approach. In carrying out this proposition would be a most unpleasant one which the opponents have no right to expect him to see circumstances. For his man is matter of division he is on thanksa of those who believe the mistake, and he is, as well, enrespect of those whom he opposes a right to oppose the mean ratio of the man. As long as that it was the wish of his con- the county should not be directed division, but he ceased his request by those whom in believing represent the sen- constituents. We suggest to deal contemporaries of Santa ey make amends to Sera- the various and sundry harsh. have said about him. MIDDLESECTION: Tuesday was Ash Wednesday, the first day of Lent. The Island of Importance has set the boundary of the bishop's diocesan position for most Sunday. F. M. Stinginger has sent some of land obtained on Guangxiang avenue to M. J. Dunnison of Sichuan. Louis Bals has purchased two names of Guangxi State obtaining the Patterson school and in building a mission them. Ornament No. 81, provided for the annexment, livery and collection of city taxes, will be handed our advertising column this morning. The Chingmantle for California charges is former. Harey is quoted at $75 and $65 per bar, Riverside $23 and $19 and then General $73 and $18. J. J. Dyer has sample of modelling changes on exhibition in Palermo and nearby offices. Each orange weighs a pound and presents a very fine appearance. Punch and apricot trees are in blumen. F. H. Gates informs us that this woman crop of the latter fruit will be the largest in years, judging from present indications. Deputy Annamur Simythe has appeared upon the horizon. Taxes this year are like oranges—the old map lingers upon the town while the new crop is blooming. Funny, isn't it? An attempt was made to burglary the postoffice at Santa Ana on Sunday night. After drilling holes in the safe the burglars were frightened away, leaving their teeth behind them. Nothing is missing. A party of hunters consisting Deputy Postmaster Milner; the Reits brothers, Bob Hammar and others, proceeded in hanging about thirty quail and as many rabbits on Sunday afternoon last. A righteous with five rattles was also shot by one of the party. Company Q gave a social hop on Monday evening, the occasion being the anniversary of the establishment of the company, a year ago. A large crowd of dancers was in attendance, and the hop was thoroughly enjoyed by all. Item from Santa Ana: Flags are flying from all the business blocks to-day (Tuesday) and the people are jubilant; not on account of Harrison's inauguration, but because the Orange county bill has passed the second reading in the Senate. A quantity of canned quinces put up by the Fullerton Cannery was sold at auction by Deputy Sheriff Simythe on Monday on an attachment used out by Robert Parker for $15. The lot comprised 915 cans of fruit will judge. The farm is damaged in some areas of the property, but no harm has been done to it. Mr. White of Australia has purchased a hundred residence at Palm Bay, an investment, and also has built, where still this morning work begins the condition of a residence for himself and family. On the morning of the 10th instant, between 2 and 2:00 o'clock, there may be rainfall, but down in the southeastern hemisphere, a very intense and consequently more moisture—on combination of the plains Jaguar by the river. The San Francisco fruit market is fairly active. There is a decided improvement in the demand for Los Angeles mending companies and prices of this grade have advanced slightly. Other variation of California oranges is in Hualapali supply and a white dull. Remissions on Tuesday amounted to six cents. Is it to be remarked that the President's objection does not contain the name of townman Marker, who announced that he would be assisted with the Postoffice portfolio. This is to be regretted, but Mr. Marker probably owes his defiance to the fact that there were too many Californians seeking a council position. A special meeting of the Anaheim Union Water Company was held on Tuesday afternoon last. The amendment of 50 cents per share levied last Saturday was reduced to 25 cents, and the price of day water lowed from 25 cents to 15 cents per hand. Night water was reduced from 15 cents to 10 cents per head. The news from the Lower California gold fields continue to incite people by thousands to visit them. The crowd is rushing in and no one comes out, save on urgent business. These who do come out simply confirm the reports of fabulously rich placers and quartz leads, transmit their business and rush back. There is every reason to believe that the reports sent out have not overstated the richness of these finds, but rather that the half has not been told. Thermometrical Record for Past Week.

The lot comprised 915 cans of fruit and brought the ridiculous amount of $41. A gentleman informs us that a few nights ago he dreamt the county had been divided and Anaheim made the county-seat. As dreams go "by contrary," it would seem either that the county is not to be divided, or being divided, Anaheim will fail to secure the county-seat. Since the appointment by Governor Waterman of General E. T. Johnson to the position heretofore held by General Boyce an effort is being made by San Diego people to have Major Charles E. York and Major George M. Dannals retained on the regimental staff. An effort is also being made in the same direction on the part of the Grand Army of the Republic, of which organization both the Majors are members. Joseph Bellinger, a brakeman employed on the California Central Railroad, had his right hand crushed in a frightful manner on Tuesday morning while engaged in coupling cars on the south-bound freight. On examination no bones were found to be broken and amputation is not considered necessary. Dr. Hunt dressed the wounds and allayed the unfortunate man's sufferings as much as possible. A sad accident befell Signor Ferrari at his concert last Saturday evening. The receipts amounted to $33, hall rent $15, leaving a balance of $18 to the Signor's credit, when an officer appeared upon the scene armed with attachment papers sworn out by Joseph Jordan for a board bill of some $71. The proceeds of the entertainment were turned over to the officer. Ferrari departed for Los Angeles on Sunday morning. Playing grave digger is new one of the sports that are "in" among the children. On Sunday last, in the neighborhood of the Epicopal Church, surrounding a good-sized hole in the ground were a group of children, one of whom, upon his bended knees, was assiduously praying for the repose of the soul of something contained therein. The ceremony ever, all the mourners joined in throwing hands-of earth upon the imaginary coffin, and then all start to flying kites. The Los Angeles Philarmenie Society gave their concert on Tuesday evening. Of Mr. Nebelung's compositions a critic says: The two pieces by Franz Nebelung were exquisitely rendered by the orchestra. The first was a true picture of the beauties and the second illustrated the varying changes-of-the-realless sea. The music is graphic, and shows that the author possesses the right kind of inspiration to give musical character to the tone of nature. The work achieved by our fellow-country-man is greatly to his credit. Professor Davidson, who recently visited Newport, the seaport of Santa Ana, some twelve miles south of that town, thinks it is one of the finest harbors of the southern Night water was reduced from 15 cents to 10 cents per head.

Tarma reasonable. In southeastern Los Angeles county, in what is known as "Gospel Swamp," there is a tract of land of several thousand acres composed of decomposed vegetable matter, which is known as peat-land. This peat has been examined by a number of people and is believed to contain valuable fertilizing matter. A carlead of it is now on trial by the German nursery of Los Angeles, who will use it in their propagating beds. If it prevailed to be as valuable as is predicted it will come into wide use. We believe a few carleads of it might be profitably used, as an experiment, in fertilizing orange groves. The peat-lands are located some six miles from the railroad, and it could be shipped in here probably as cheaply as sheep manure.-Er. The directors of the Peso Irrigation District met last week and transacted business of much importance to that section. March 9th was the time set for holding an election to vote bonds, and the amount to be voted $500,000. Different amounts were estimated by the directors, some estimating $400,000 as sufficient to complete the work; while others thought $600,000 necessary. However a compromise was made and $500,000 fixed as the sum. The approximated cost of 20 miles of 30-inch No.12 iron pipe and 7 miles of 18-inch No.13 iron pipe was placed at $246,723. This includes cost of the pipe and all freight charges. The estimated cost of three reservoirs, which are deemed necessary, was placed at $55,000. The reserve fund was placed at $60,000, making the sum thus far $361,723. The Associated Press correspondent at Washington telegrams as follows about the inauguration on Monday: With simple and solemn ceremony, in the presence of all wisdom and authority embodied in the co-ordinate branches of government, surrounded by representatives of all the great nations on the face of the globe, Benjamin Harrison was to-day inducted into the highest office within the gift of "the American people." Never was such a crowd in Washington before. It is estimated that half a million strangers camped in the city Monday night, filling every inch of hotel and boarding house accommodation and drawing to the full limits on private hospitality. Even then many were forced to sleep on floors, some on billiard tables. Even the welcome recess of an occasional bath-tub was not despised. 1889. Harper's Bazar. ILLUSTRATED. Harper's Bazar.

Its bright short stories and timely essays are among the best published; and not a line is admitted to its columns that could offend the most fastidious taste. Among the attractions for the new volume will be serial stories by Mrs. Francis Hodgson Barnett, Mrs. Alexander, William Blake and Thomas Hardy, and a series of papers on nursery management by Mrs. Christine Ternurek.
