A Happy New Year to each and all of these good people who have enriched, with their pains, the columns of this journal during the year. We are under lasting obligations to all of them, and hope to hear from them often again in the coming year. To our correspondents, who have done us the favor of regularly writing the news of their sections, we return thanks, and indulge the rush hope that they will do as well by us in the future as in the past. A happy new year to all! It will not do for the Board of Supervisors to say that they refused aid to the people threatened by the recent overflow of the Santa Ana river because, first, of the danger of establishing a precedent; second, because no lumber could be got to the point of overflow in time to prevent damage, and then, wheeling round on their former standpoint, to say that there was no money in the treasury to pay for any protection our citizens might have asked in the premises. The fact remains, their action is cause for severe censure, and censure they are receiving at the hands of the people. If the Supervisors could not understand, in their garrulous solemnity; that the property of many of our citizens was threatened by the flood; if they so far forgot their duty as to pass by unnoticed the appeal for aid on behalf of our citizens because they were afraid of "taking an excessive job on their hands," as we are told was the case by one of their apologists, then and in that case we excuse them. If they attempt to defend their action by saying that there was no money to repair the break, will they tell us how it was that we as a county have been running for several months without a penny in the treasury? The board might have rendered aid, again, even though lumber could not have been secured. In fact, no lumber was necessary in the measures taken by our citizens for relief, and to have waited until lumber could be taken to the river's bank would have been simply to court disaster. If for no other reason than for the protection of the county property, to say nothing of the private property endangered, should the board have acted in consequence of the whole of America and other states would be warranted away and hundreds of lives lost. The New Valley community is now about the largest in the United States, and holds a tremendous volume of water. In the line of the flood, should it occur, like this village of Fallerton, Yorkshire will Aquiline, and other little places are as dams than they would be in dangerous proximity to the flood if the dam breaks away. The article is rare worth noting, but we might be permitted to remark that, should the dam break, our friends at Santa Ana and throughout would fare quite as badly as we. However, there is not a particle of danger of the dam breaking, so we are credibly informed. It is high time, we should say, that the disposition to bulldike our section in such ghastly manner should cease. No one but an ignorant or a knave would write such a paragraph, and the publisher who would knowingly land a hand to the mferious work is but little better. Elsewhere will be found a letter from Thacker Droe. of Chicago, saying that the Florida orange crop is large this year and of unusual good quality. This is the first time we have heard of this, but coming from such reliable source, the statement is entitled to consideration. Still, one may hear all sorts of stories relative to the Florida crop—it is large one day and small the next. Emence of the Supervisors. The Board of Supervisors met at Santa Ana on Monday, and after setting a time for hearing the petition of property owners at Ocean View praying for the establishment of a drainage ditch, and granting another petition asking that Columbia Avenue, at Tustin, be declared a public highway, the board got down to the consideration of Attorney Hutton's claim against the county. The demand of J. A. Towner for $750 and that of Col. Edwards for $250, as balance of fees due Hutton, were allowed, as was to have been expected. The Tax Collector was allowed eight clerks for the remainder of this week at $2 per day. James A. Whittaker et al. presented a petition for the establishment of a county real near Buena Park, described as follows: Commencing at the NE corner of Section 36, T 3 S, R 11 W; thence west between sections 36 and 25, and 35 and 26, and along the county line between sections 34 and 27 to the northwest corner of Section 30, conditional on Los Angeles establishing its portion of the joint road; also commencing at the northwest corner of Section 35, T 3 S, R 11 W; thence south between sections 34 and 35 one mile to the intersection of township line; also commencing at the north end of Grand Flacomountain.

The value of railroad property within the county is $624,743, and the total value of taxable property is $9,270,767. Los Angeles has real estate and improvements valued at $74,108,062; personal property and money, $7,911,489; railroads, $2,356,768; total value of all, $84,376,319. There are thirty counties in the State with a greater assessment roll than Orange and twenty-two counties with less. The total valuation of property in the State amounts to $1,111,590,979, and the railroads are assessed at $40,488,632. Secretary Wisdom has adopted the plan of the Russian Government in reference to taking fur seals in Alaska waters. The present fisheries are allowed to take 100,000 seals annually, but under the new contract to be let by the Treasury Department shortly, the successful bidder will be allowed to take 60,000 the first year, after that the number to be fixed annually by the Treasury Department. This is the Russian way, and it is said that Russian agents at Alaska are sometimes willing to be "insulted" by the sealers, the consideration always being a cash transaction. In this manner as many seals are taken as the insult is light or heavy. Under the present contract, so Nicholas Gray informs us, not a single seal is taken over the stipulated number of 100,000. Unless the seal poaching by British vessels from Victoria is stopped, the fisheries will not be worth much to Americans in coming years, as the seals are gradually being driven into Russian waters, where they are unmolested by the rockless and indiscriminate slaughter of unprincipled poachers. The revenue from Alaskan seal fishers is too great to allow this outrage to pass unnoticed. It is entirely break, will they tell us how it was that we as a county have been running for several months without a penny in the treasury? The board might have rendered aid, again, even though lumber could not have been secured. In fact, no lumber was necessary in the measures taken by our citizens for relief, and to have waited until lumber could be taken to the river's bank would have been simply to court disaster. If for no other reason than for the protection of the county property, to say nothing of the private property endangered, should the board have acted hastily in the matter. In consequence of their inspection, the county road is damaged to a far greater extent than would have sufficed to mend the break. In no light is the action of the Supervisors anything but inexplicable, absurd and foolhardy. The people have a knack of remembering these things on election day, and we warrant, judging from what is heard of them in the way of denunciation on every hand, that they will be made to near of it when election day rolls round again. The Tax Collector was allowed eight clerks for the remainder of this week at $2 per day. James A. Whittaker et al. presented a petition for the establishment of a county road near Buena Park, described as follows: Commencing at the NE corner of Section 36, T 3 S, R 11 W; thence west between sections 36 and 25, and 35 and 26, and along the county line between sections 34 and 27 to the northwest corner of Section 30, conditional on Los Angeles establishing its portion of the joint road; also commending at the north-west corner of Section 35, T 3 S, R 11 W; thence south between sections 24 and 35 one mile to the intersection of the township line; also commending at the north end of Grand Avenue in Buena Park and running north about one-fourth of a mile to a point intersecting the Los Angeles road. The prayer of petitioners was granted on condition that the people in that vicinity secure deeds to the land necessary to make the roads sixty feet wide throughout the whole course. C. W. Wilcox et al. presented a petition asking that certain streets in Tustin be declared public highways. The same was granted and the deeds accepted and ordered recorded. Adjourned. A Gigantic Scheme. WHEELING, W. Va., December 29.—In view of the great importance growing out of the feeling that inspired the Pan-American Congress, and its gigantic proportions as to the railway enterprise recently incorporated, the Columbia Railway and Navigation Company at Richmond, Va., is likely to prove a sensation in commercial circles. The purpose of the company is to construct railroads in South America, steamship lines connecting this road with points in the United States, and incidentally, everything necessary to properly carry on such a business. The company's capital is be $100,000,000, and Captain Parsons of Virginia is at the head of it. Briefly, the aims of the Columbia River and Navigation Company are: To construct a line of railroad from some point near the mouth of the Magdalena river, in the United States of Columbia, southwesterly along the eastern bank of the Andes and the head waters of the Amazon, to points in Peru. There to connect with the Peruvian and Argentine system of railroads. From the mouth of the Magdalena river steamships will be run to the southern points of Florida and New Orleans, from whence will extend railroad connections to all parts of this country. The vastness of the enterprise contemplated is thus apparent. The continent probably the richest in material resources of all continents in the world, is to be opened up to the purposes of commerce, immigration and civilization. Its products and people are to be brought to communication with the rest of the world and best of all will be the direct and lasting benefit these purposes accrue; to the United States. Captain H. C. Pasona, whose home is at Natural Bridge, Va., is the originator and controlling spirit of the enterprise. It is by no means the first difficult and hazardous undertaking in the railroad line he has been engaged in, though the others were as nothing when compared with this. For fifteen years Captain Parsons has given the subject of a north and south line of railroad in South America his attention. He has traveled and investigated, examined made surveys of the country and collected information of all kinds until he has demonstrated the feasibility of his great project and at last brought it to a point of realization. In order to obtain a more thorough organization and secure a heartier cooperation... In this manner as many seals are taken as the insult is light or heavy. Under the present contract, so Nicholas Gray informs us, not a single seal is taken over the stipulated number of 100,000. Unless the seal poaching by British vessels from Victoria is stopped, the fisheries will not be worth much to Americans in coming years, as the seals are gradually being driven into Russian waters, where they are unmolested by the rockless and indiscriminate slaughter of unprincipled poachers. The revenue from Alaskan seal fishers is too great to allow this outrage to pass unnoticed. It is entirely probable that the matter will prove a serious complication between the United States and Britain in the near future. Born the Southern Pacific and California Central railroad companies have decided not to make public any figures in their possession regarding freight shipments during the year. This prevents the publication of tabulated statements of freight handled here, as has been our custom in the past. For purposes of comparison, as well as an indication of the character of our freight tonnage, these freight statements are valuable as well as interesting, and the action of the railroad companies is to be deplored. This is the season when the advertiser says, "Take out my ad—the holidays are over." The heart of the editor is sad in consequence. Advertisers should remember, meanwhile, that it pays to advertise, and that to discontinue a large holiday advertisement, leaving not even a small one to take its place, might react upon their business so parapsibly that a Sheriff's sale might, by not such a very great stretch of the imagination, come uncomfortably close to being one of their resultant experiences. It is always time to advertise, never to discontinue! An inspired pilot, writing in the Santa Ana Press Proof of a day or two ago, delivers himself of the following: There is no doubt the Bear Valley dam is in danger of breaking away if much more rain falls, and if such a thing should happen whose home is at Natural Bridge, Va., is the originator and controlling spirit of the enterprise. It is by no means the first difficult and hazardous undertaking in the railroad line he has been engaged in, though the others were as nothing when compared with this. For fifteen years Captain Parsons has given the subject of a north and south line of railroad in South America his attention. He has traveled and investigated, examined made surveys of the country and collected information of all kinds until he has demonstrated the feasibility of his great project and at last brought it to a point of realization. In order to obtain a more thorough organization and secure a heartier cooperation, incorporators have been selected and will shortly be named, in all the Southern States. When this has been done and an organization completed by the election of officers, etc., subscription books will be opened and the practical work of making surveys and estimates inaugurated at once.

PLACEHIA WESTMINSTER Germantown and elsewhere in the city have many marriage stores who sell them. Human Germantown—Christmas is quite gone. On account of the very inundation weather it was not very many. The Germantown and Christmas town at Placentia also exhibit on Christmas evening was a moment. Those who participated in the canada demos great credit for the income they made of it under the circumstances. They had but two weeks to prepare it after receiving it; the state of the weather and condition of the roads made it almost impossible to meet to salenm. The home was filled by an appreciative audience. The Christmas tree contained sweetness and presents for the little ones, who were made glad by Santa Claus distributing them. The mistletoe's tooth put on the tree for one of our popular minisms as a hint that he needed some dentist work, was enjoyed by all. A home-made pipe with a bowl that held a quart of tobacco and a pipetam a yard loog was presented to one of our smoking young gentlemen. The bachelors had several reminders in the way of kitchen aprons, &, presented to them. Taking together the evening was quite a merry common in Placeville. The storm did little or no damage, but has left our roads in an awful condition. The ditch seat of Tuffees' ranch has been entirely filled up by mud from the Sequel canon. The land is so wet that it will be some days before the teams can get to plow and cultivate, and in the mean time grass and weeds are growing. Pasturage is very fine. Some days ago we took some young stock to the Binder ranch on the hills and found grass a foot high and stock rolling fat. We are losing lots of money this year because we don't have stock to eat the feed that will go to waste. A move is on foot to have sand from the sandwash placed on Placeville avenue. We pay a large amount of taxes annually for road purposes, poll tax, too, yet if our roads need repair we will have to volunteer and do the work ourselves. Other roads are graded that do not have one-twentieth the travel that our avenue has, yet we have a road that is simply impassable. It is about time our people were waking up and demanding their rights, or they will get left. If we don't present our claims we will get left. It is estimated that 40 carloads of oranges will have to be handled over our roads. Six wagon loads to the carload will be 240 loads, besides hay, wood and other things within the next four months. Over 300 wagon loads will have to be handled on this one road. All the other roads in the district combined have not the traffic that this road has, and it is the worst road in the district. Supervisors and road overseers, give us relief and we will rise up and bless you. Every foot of arable land will be cultivated this coming year.

Blaine, principal teacher at the Chesswa Indian training school, near Salem, Oregon, and brother of Secretary J. G. Blaine, died Monday evening, after a brief illness, at the age of 63 years. William Corbett, stakeholder of the bet of $5,000 a side between W. H. Crawford and Senator Rose of Los Angeles, that Stamboul would trot in 2:12 before January, 1890, has notified Mr. Crawford that Senator Rose conceded he had lost the bet, and the money will be drawn by Mr. Crawford at his pleasure. Stamboul is to be stabled for the season. Secretary Windom has issued proposals calling for bids for the privilege of taking fur seals upon the islands of St. George and St. Paul, Alaska. Bids will be opened January 23d, and are for the exclusive right to take fur seals on these islands for a term of twenty years from May 1, 1890. In addition to the requirements of the statutes on the subject, the successful bidder will be required to erect a school building on each island and maintain public schools there. The successful bidder will be permitted to catch 60,000 seal skin during the first year of contract, but after that the Secretary of the Treasury will fix the number. Captain Kohle of Philadelphia, owner of a fifth interest in the Alaska Commercial Company, says the company proposes to bid for the new lease, as the property erected during the last twenty years is too valuable to surrender without trying for another lease. The sealing industry is not what it used to be. The fishers suffer from extensive poaching by British vessels from Victoria. The revenue cutter sent by the United States was too small to be formidable to poachers. He doesn't think the contract will necessarily go to the highest bidder. Real Estate transactions.
