The city escaped its threatened flood, but the sight of a perfect river of water, rushing and rearing dangerously near the city limits, was not a spectacle to calm the nerves of the beholder. Indeed the water entered property on the outside streets, and did considerable damage. The loss is trifling compared with what might have resulted. Had the waters once risen high enough to come to Center street, the rain would have been inaccessible. What folly for the Board of Supervisors, then, to say last week, when the flood might have been averted that they could not render aid, because of establishing a precedent! The same argument holds good in the case of a banning building, where an appeal for aid is met with the assertion that it cannot be given, because, if given in the first instance, it might be expected in another. To set a precedent for one good deed would make amends, in sooth, for a lot of the misdemeanors of the board. No one would refuse to set a precedent for an honorable act or a charitable deed, or to render aid to the needy. When the Board of Supervisors refused to stay the flood because of "setting a precedent" they forfeited the respect of every thinking man in the county. The board may regain this in part by ordering the work on the river's bank as soon as the waters are leased. And if, at some time in the future, another community in this county should stand in need of protection from the mad fury of angry torrents of unbridled waters, let us give it to them with open hand. The year now rapidly drawing to close and which will be numbered with the past before another issue of this journal is given the public, is in many ways worthy of being regarded as one of the notable apoches in the history of the State. Probably the most important feature, as it is at once the wisest and fraught with the most benefit to the people of California, will be the far-reaching effects of the score and more of irrigation districts throughout an arid section, bringing the air of fertility to what in the future will be a matchless commonwealth, surpassing in richness even the glorious records of the past. Millions of acres will blossom with the change and vine, and idle When any social system shall conform to the laws of "Melbourne" more closely than at present there will be no need for ill-constructed things as capitalists and miners, even at Boon Park. The Wilshire and Mr. Houser will agree on the question about why we should infer they dislike what is present. When the editors meet at San Bernardino, there'll be a powerful night of setting up late o'nights and drinking sodils powders in the morning. The "claim" of Attorney A. W. Hatton of Los Angeles against the Orange County Treasury hobbled up serenely in the superviseurs last Monday morning. No action was taken. How the people of the county can be expected to pay a bill insured for legal services before the county had an existence in fact, is something that we cannot for the life of our see. We suggest, meanwhile, that if payment should be tendered the distinguished attorney, his claim he gives the customary 33 per cent share, with which the skippers of the board so gradually condescend to disencumber the average printer's bill. We have had no Los Angeles mail for a couple of days, and so we are deprived of the pleasure of knowing whether our esteemed contemporary, the Express, suspended publication on Christmas day. The Beaum Park Schoolhouse Editor Gazette.—In your last issue I see a communication from my friend Brother W. G. Potter of Centralia, in regard to a schoolhouse in this part of the district. I was somewhat surprised at the sudden change in his views, for if I am not very much mistaken, in a conversation I had with him a short time before we sent out our first petition, he said we ought to have a school, and as we had stood in with them in getting a new schoolhouse he thought it no more than fair that they should assist us. When our first petition was passed around for signatures he and Mr. Bowen signed it. We presented our petition to the County Superintendent of Schools and received instructions, and were proceeding accordingly when the two trustees above named (I suppose discovered they had made a mistake) started out one Sunday to convince the petitioners that it would cause too great an increase in their taxes and partially succeeded with some, but when Mr. McKinney, one of the petitioners, who had seven That was a wierd and fascinating sight at midnight on Monday, when a crowd of beaconned citizens stood on the railroad track near South street, and the rushing torrents of rain and fog filled the air. Probably the most important feature, as it is at once the wisest and fraught with the most benefit to the people of California, will be the far-reaching effects of the score and more of irrigation districts throughout an arid section, bringing the air of fertility to what in the future will be a matchless commonwealth, surpassing in richness even the glorious records of the past. Millions of acres will blossom with the orange and vine, and idle tracts support a thrifty population, contented in the knowledge that nowhere else is the compensation for earnest effort so ample and so generous. Undoubtedly no one thing in the history of our State will stand out so boldly in the years to come as this bringing together of land and water, with its resultant luxuriance and wealth. All that may be said for the rest of the State can be truthfully claimed for us. Indeed, we already feel the beneficent effects of our wise action in irrigation during the year, and are destined to appreciate shortly the truth of the proverb that we built wider than we know. More people are looking toward our valley today than ever, and before the coming year shall have run its course hundreds of homesekers will have cast their lot with us. Possibly, the next item in the line of recapitulation for which we should be thankful is the knowledge that the devastating march of the insect pests is at its end. Perhaps before many months shall roll away the certainty of a sure return from our vineyards will be as stable as the return from the orange, splendid as is the latter. The orange pest, which at the beginning of the year threatened the annihilation of our orchards, having been subdued, no one shall say that the cause of our vine destruction will not also be at an end, and planting of vineyards inaugurated with all the satisfaction that came with the abundant profits of the past. With grape vines blooming again in their old-time luxuriance and vigor, and oranges and walnuts giving their returns of to-day, our future will be all that can be desired. And grapes will grow here again so sure as they will rise in the morning. A review of building operations in Anaheim will show that we have kept up in the march of progress. Our city has made a splendid advance; there has been no financial disaster during the year, no fires, no calamities. While in many ways that need not be mentioned in this article our State will have cause to look back at the departing year with feelings of satisfaction, our city and valley have also cause for congratulation in the advances made in more ways than those enumerated above. We have made a robust growth, which in the approaching year, however, we should strive to outdo. NEWS IN BRIEF. Pomona orchards have been increased during the past year by 90,000 orange trees, 15,000 lemons and about 25,000 olives. The Bear Valley dam in San Bernardino county now stores I,482,000,000 cubic feet of water, or seven and one-half times us many gallons. The Pomona Canning Company have closed a contract to furnish one firm in Chicago 25,000 cases of Pomona canned fruits each year for the years. Brick is taking place of lumber to a large extent in the rebuilding of Bakerfield, and per consequence the place has a more inviting and substantial appearance. It is reported that the Portuguese are anxious for Dom-Pedro to leave Portugal. The calmness with which the people of Brazil accepted the overthrow of the Empire and the establishment of the Republic, encourages radicals of Lisbon to believe that they will eventually achieve a quiet, bloodless revolution in Portugal. The heavy rains of Sunday night and Monday have stopped all travel on the Santa Fe line from San Diego. Washouts are reported near Del Mar where the washouts occurred last week. Most of the damage... That was a wierd and fascinating sight, at midnight on Monday, when a crowd of belantered citizens stood on the railroad track near South street, and the rushing torrents of the flood sped rapidly beneath. Lanterns flickered faintly down the track, where men, more adventurous than the rest, had gone to see what the prospects of a flood were. Lights glimmered to loft and right, and the pattering rain drops fell. Many people were astir, protecting their property and discussing methods of relief. Towards morning the water subsided, but the danger was not past. The strange magnetism which draws one to the scene of danger is eternal, and a flood at midnight gives it an opportunity to exercise its fullest away. The telegraph brings the information that Nelly Bly is at Hong Kong, and expects to be in San Francisco on January 21st. She is two days ahead of time, notwithstanding her delay at Colombo, and will undoubtedly accomplish the feat of going around the world in less than 75 days. The statement which Mr. House makes in his communication to us this morning, that we are all monopolists to the extent of our ability, and that we should be as bad as the railroads had we the brains, will be calculated, we opine, to gravel the nationalist sensibilities of our patriotic young friend Wilshire of Fullerton, whose argumentative lance has been laveled at monopolists and trusts for lot: these many days. But avidantly Mr. House is a nationalist, like Mr. Wilshire, for he says that "under our present social system monopolists and capitalists are a necessity." Brick is taking the place of lambar to a large extent in the rebuilding of Bakerfield, and per consequence the plane has a more inviting and substantial appearance. It is reported that the Portuguese are anxious for Dom-Pedro to leave Portugal. The calmness with which the people of Brazil accepted the overthrow of the Empire and the establishment of the Republic, encourages the radicals of Lisbon to believe that they will eventually achieve a quiet, bloodless revolution in Portugal. The heavy rains of Sunday night and Monday have stopped all travel on the Santa Fe line from San Diego. Washouts are reported near Del Mar where the washouts occurred last week. Most of the damage is above Santa Ana. A line of steamers has commenced running between San Diego and Redondo Beach to carry passengers and freight. It is impossible to learn the amount of damage done to the road. A petition of fifty-seven land owners for the organization of the Kirkwood Irrigation District, presented on Monday before the Board of Supervisors, of Tehama county, accompanied by bonds in the sum of $21,000, was passed unanimously by the board. An election of Directors was ordered to be held Monday, January 23, 1860. This insures the formation and organization of the district. At least 50,000 acres of land are embodied in this survey, nearly all of which is capable of irrigation and the highest state of cultivation. Sir Francis de Winten makes public a long letter written him by Stanley, August 31st last, in which the latter dwells upon Emin's indication, which cost him (Stanley) a journey, otherwise unnecessary, at 1,300 miles for Bartellot. He dwells at much length on the case of Bartellot, and says the latter needed, to extricate himself from his dilemma, qualities that will not be gained by long experiences in Africa, and selughee Bartellot's courage and high qualification. Stanley fatly denies with much emphasis the alleged Congo obstruction, of Manyema, mammalism and the story of photographing women during execution. During the whole expedition he executed only four men. At Pomona, one day last week, Ira Schayler and Henry Phillipson were visiting at Schayler's house in the northern part of Pomona valley, about six miles from Pomona city. Both have been neighbors and friends for several years. Schayler is a veteran of a Wisconsin regiment, while Phillipson fought in an Alabama regiment. They get By maintaining a demurrier, Judge Brower of the United States Court, last week decided the point involved in the main issue of the Japanese Kogen land grant sum, which heavily affected land in Colorado, New Mexico and Texas. The title of the case pending is: The Interstate Company against the Maxwell Land Grant Company; also the Maxwell Land Grant Company against Vincente Pacheco and others. The decision is favorable to Maxwell, in that it holds that the grant to the Interstate Land Company holds for the reason that the consummate made by Maxwell were never completed. Heales had no title to any land except what was not off to him by the Mexican Government as an expremario. Judge Brower holds that the Mexican Government limited the quantity of land to be held by one person to eleven hundred square feet at the Bealers grant there was a stipulation that 200 families should accompany it. The Interstate Land Company claims to have the right to the grant by accession. The Massilla Valley Irrigation Company of Santa Fe, Mexico, has let a contract to the Homestead Construction Company of Denver for the completion of an important enterprise in that Territory that will solve the water problem in the Massilla valley by supplying water for 100,000 acres of land. The main canal is to be taken out of the Rio Grande at Point Rocka, above Fort Seldon. The river bottom at this point of the rock and the flow of water there has never been known to fail. The canal is to be thirty feet wide at the bottom and thirty-five miles in length. It enters the head of the Massilla valley about six miles above the village of Dona Ana, tending the southeast to the Texas line twenty miles above El Paso. Several storage reservoirs are also to be built in connection with the canal. The work will cost $25,000. It is a private enterprise, the money coming from England. The work will be completed by May 1st next. The grading outfit of 200 teams and a large force of man will begin work next week at Fort Seldon. The incorporators of this enterprise are Harvey Haddan of London, Eng.; J. C. Smith of Wichita, Kan.; W. H. Liewellyr, S. B. Newcomb and P. W. Smith of Las Cruces. An accident occurred on the British ship Durham, lying in the bay at San Francisco, on Saturday afternoon, which resulted in the death of two well-known citizens. Fire broke out in the hold of the Durham a few days before. A wonderful meditation: "The matter I think is honestly true," Mr. Hutton says. "It has kept my children away from many places for months." He's not sure if all gone with past heartbreaks. "My daughter I thank kindly help me," he says. "I hope her help will keep me safe."

Watson, a Florida orange grower, sites as follows to the Pomona Progress, in regard to the short orange crop now being marketed by Florida: The Florida orange crop is not the large one that you read about in the newspapers. Reports of the great quantities of oranges grown in this State have been circulated in California in order to bear the market here. I have been an orange grower here for thirteen years, and I have a personal acquaintance with nearly every orange grower within a radius of sixty miles of Orlando. So I know what I am talking about when I say positively that the Florida yield of oranges this season is thirty per cent less than an average yield during the time I have been in the business. I have counted this morning seventy-two orange growers in this section who have unusually short crops. The cause of the shortage is the drought last March, April and May, and the poor provision for irrigation such as you people in Southern California have reduced to such a science and to such vast usefulness for the fruit grower. Don't let the California fruit buyers bear your product this season. We have suffered much from that cause in Florida. The fact that you have so many orange buyers now that they have begun contracting for the fruit so early seems to me to mean that they want your oranges pretty bad. Real Estate Transactions.

The people already had a water system, but it was limited, and the water company did not have the money to make needed improvements and extend the works. The district has bought out the company and has voted bonds to the extent of $600,000 to make the purchase and get more water and put it on outside lands. Since this district was formed the Sharma Ranoho Land company have sold over 7,000 acres of raw land mostly to actual settlers. The last sale was 2,800 acres for $100,000 to a company who have subdivided the land and are selling it out in ten, twenty and forty acre tracts. Church Announcements. GERMAN METHODIST CHURCH—John G.
