LATE NEWS OF THE WEEK. The Irrigation District Strikes a Cold Spell. No Bonds Are Sold, and Rigid Economy Prevails—Directors Serve Without Pay, and Expenses Trimmed Down—No More Engineering Work to Be Done—The Salary Thermometer Down in the Zero Zone—The Tyroleers May Go to the War—The New County Officers—Chicago Fair. A cold wave of economy struck the Board of Directors of the Anaheim Irrigation District at their meeting on Tuesday. At one time it looked as though the economic spirit would carry the marcury away below zero. But the thermometer was stayed in its downward flight and the gnashing of teeth is consequently not so great as some of the Directors expected would result when they started on their foray against high salaries. As it is the weather is extremely cold for a number who have enjoyed a secure, while the people paid the taxes and groaned to the full extent of their lung power. This economic cold wave was caused by the second misfire in the sale of the bonds of the district. The first stroke of economy began when the Los Angeles Abstract Company brought in a bill of $150 for "extra work" in addition to their bill of $350 for doing the abstracting of property in the Anaheim Water Company. The board refused to allow the claim, and Mr. Harpham, representing the abstract company, who occupied a half-hour in telling the board why they should allow the claim, put on his hat and left the office in disgust. Mr. Harpham is the gentleman who first asked $1,000 to do the abstraction. Then he lowered his bid to $750, and when he looked at the Engineer's maps and saw how small the abstraction job would be, he made his offer $500, and later, on a competitive bid against other abstract companies, he said he would do the work for $350. He lost money on the job, and brought in a $150 bill for "extra work," which the board refused to allow. Evidently Mr. Harpham doesn't know much about abstraction—or about the whims of an economic board, either. The next change in the temperature occurred when the board resolved to serve in future without pay. Then Engineer Kellegg was ordered to cause work, and a committee was appointed to confer with Brunson, Wilson & Lamme to ascertain whether word of Damocles only cleft the bill in twain and Mr. Backe is consequently six bits ahead of the programme mapped out by the Director referred to. Allowed $1. At neon the board adjourned for lunch, and reassembled as 1:20, when the meeting of the State Irrigation Convention at Sacramento, which meets to-day, was considered. A full report of the object of the meeting was printed last week, together with a lengthy set of amendatory articles to be tacked on to the Wright bill. After a lengthy consideration of the advisability of sending a representative to Sacramento, or not sending one, in view of the prevalent spirit of economy, it was thought that no representative should be sent from here. Mr. Pillaburry's draft of amendments to the Wright bill (printed last week) was condemned. Mr. Ryan introduced the following preamble and resolution, which was adopted: WHEREAS This district regrets the impracticability of smoking a delegate to the present convention, but thinks it proper, by reason of the representation at the last convention, and its sympathy with the original plan of the association to express the unanimous opinion of the board in the following resolution: Resolved That the Directors of the district approve of a general plan for an association of the irrigation district for the purpose of gathering and broadening knowledge of irrigation and its kindred branches, but distinctly disapprove of any plan or association which shall in any degree take active part in, or the object of which shall be the connection with control of or handling of any finances, questions which pertain to the several and separate districts. A copy of the resolution was forwarded to the Sacramento convention by yesterday's mail. Mr. Pillaburry's draft of amendments to the Wright bill seemed to the Directors to be aimed at making a lot of fat offices for some persons, Mr. Pillaburry presumably among the rest. So they sat down on his scheme. The hour of 2 o'clock having arrived, no proposals for the purchase of the bonds having been submitted, the Directors put in an hour discussing the method of raising means for carrying on the district. Mr. Ryan offered the following resolution, which was carried: Resolved That a committee of three be appointed to confer with the Directors of the Anaheim Union Water Company and the Yorba Water Company as to the possibility of a purchaser of their systems on a bond basis. The President appointed Directors Ryan, Spencer and Crowther as such committee. THE THERMOMETER DESCENDS. The Directors amused themselves for a while in speculating as to the outcome of the interview between the committee and the Board of Directors of the Anaheim Water Company, which takes place on Saturday next. Mr. Ryan then started the cold spell by introducing the following: Resolved That a committee be appointed to confer with Brunson, Wilson & Lamme as to the possibility of change in their present contract. The resolution was carried, and Mr. Lamme said that in his opinion, his firm would "meetthe Directors half way." GRIM VISAGEMENT LOCAL MILITIAMEN TO BATTLE FOR THE THEY MAY BE CAST GARRISON DUTY—BOYS WANT TO GO. Our militia boys were little excitement on Thursday drill, when Lieut. Lewis dispatch from Lieut. Colanding the Saventh Regiment brush with the Indians in Los Angeles. To Lieut. Arthur Lewis, Co., Gt., Anasheim, Cal-Wire stance and command regar bug reports. Lieut. Col. Commission throws them off excitement, and many others go at once. The team what indefinite, and no one command was expected; only two garrisons in Diego and Presidio There are other garrisons in Indian war, but the boat being unwinding fames. The necessity for 'caught' in the Dakotas. A great battle General Miles has 10,000 miles to India, and a bloody tally looked for. This is destined to be the most beat in our history. A "Unite" in this part of the country into field, and conquered in several western States dared to do garrison duty; in Nebraska, near the secrecy have been ordered to that Lieut. Col. Palmer tell our boys think of the pointe into regions of "fire at stroke." Lieut. Lewis telegraphies structures, and yesterday stating that Governor Miles called on at any moment for rison duty. If this shouldern California companies will volunteer to go. While there is nothing day may be said that our boys go with their regiment, do garrison duty in Art Mexico, soldiers from there been ordered into the field. The Pasadena Company can be man, and Los Angeles militia boys are enthusiastic. The commission officer in Los Angeles on Tuesday companies have signified at their country's call. When he lowered his bid to $750, and when he looked at the Engineer’s maps and saw how small the abstraction job would be, he made his offer $500, and later, on a competitive bid against other abstract companies, he said he would do the work for $30. He lost money on the job, and brought in a $150 bill for “extra work,” which the board refused to allow. Evidently Mr. Harpham doesn’t know much about abstraction—or about the whims of an economic board, either. The next change in the temperature occurred when the board resolved to serve in future without pay. Then Engineer Kellegg was ordered to cease work, and a committee was appointed to confer with Brunson, Wilson & Lammie to ascertain whether, in view of the financial straits of the district, a reduction in their salary could be effected. When the board ran up against the salaries of Collector Cadman and Secretary Gardiner, intent on sealing them down, they struck a snag, and the rapidly descending thermometer was stayed in its mad career. The sun came out and the weather became a trifle warmer. CALLED TO ORDER. President Keldan called the board to order shortly after 10 o’clock. The full board was present, Director Korn, Ryan, Spencer, Yorba and Crowther, Judge Lamme represented the law firm. A sprinkling of citizens, who looked as though they were anxious to go into the formation of a Society for the Suppression of Soft Snaps, were also present, occupying seats about the stove. When the fire went out and the weather got cold some of them went down stairs and warmed themselves standing in the sun. Secretary Gardiner started the ball rolling by reading the minutes of the last meeting, which were approved as read. Collector Cadman reported that during the month of November his collections had been $381 35, and during December $4,441 93, a total of $4,833 18. Report received and filed. Treasurer Keith made the following report: Cash on hand December 6th. $3,048 25 Received From Collector. 4,441 93 Total. $7,490 18 Paid on warranties. 824 28 Balance on hand January 5th. $8,359 90 The Treasurer’s report was received and filed. Mr. Ryan gave the board the synopsis of a private letter received by him in reference to Mr. Sutro’s objection to purchasing irrigation bonds—mentioned in our report of the last meeting of the board. Mr. Sutro, the letter went on to say, advises against the purchase of bonds because he considers them as still in an unsettled state. Although the decisions of the Supreme Court have been uniformly in favor of the districts and the validity of their bonds, still Mr. Sutro is quoted as saying that the Supreme Court sometimes changes its decisions—and that is all that the phlegmatic gentleman cares to say about it. Mr. Lamme called attention to the latest decision of the Supreme Court touching water bonds. A synopsis of this decision will be found in another column. After discussing the matter further without action, the board passed to the consideration of unfinished business, under which head Mr. Lamme introduced a voluminous document, containing a description of the property of the Anaheim Union Water Company, sought to be condemned by the district. As soon as Engineer Kollog verifies his own disclosures in the document, the condemnation suit will begin. At the meeting in December Judge Wilson stated the condemnation proceedings would begin in a few days. The delay is attributable to the failure who first asked $1,000 to do the abstracting. Then he lowered his bid to $750, and when he looked at the Engineer’s maps and saw how small the abstraction job would be, he made his offer $500, and later, on a competitive bid against other abstract companies, he said he would do the work for $30.

The resolution was carried, and Mr. Lamme said that, in his opinion, his firm would “meet”the Directors half way.” The President appointed Directors Spencer, Ryan and Crowther to see if the lawyers could not be persuaded to come nearer. Mr. Ryan next moved that the Directors serve in future for $2 per day without mileage, instead of $4 with mileage; at present. The weather was made decidedly cooler when Director Crowther moved to amend by making the Directors serve without pay or mileage at all. Mr. Ryan accepted the amendment. Director Yorba gaped and grew Pale on a vote—the amendment was carried: Ayes—Crowther, Ryan, Norns—Spencer, Yorba. Engineer Kellogg went next annoyed by being instructed not to begin any new work, when his work at present remaining unfinished shall have been completed. He will clean up his work in a couple of weeks, and then take a breathing spell. Treasurer Keith’s salary, amounting to $12 per month, it was found could not be reduced, as it was fixed by law, and so his salary remains at it well. Collector Cadman was next one to claim at the attention of the freezing process. He would not freeze, however, his salary having been fixed by the year, and consequently continued in the past; at $30 per month. Secretary Gardiner, who gets 50 per month, was next on the list. He stopped proceedings momentarily by declaring that if the board cut his salary a single cent’s worth, he would resign. As a compromise, he was instructed to bring in an itemized statement, to be submitted to the next session of the board, showing the curious态度 of the office, and setting forth why his salary should not be reduced. Henry Schaler of Fullerton was allowed a rebate of $4 taxes on double assessment. Adjourned. Huena Park Items. New Year’s Day a large party from the Park picnicked in the hills. After a sumptuous repast, consisting of all the delicacies of the season, as well as more substantial things to supply needs of the inner man, the party visited “Peter’s Cave,” exploring its depths and resting in its shadow. Several of the company enjoyed a toboggan slide on the hills. Some of young gentlemen who had anticipated a game of foot ball after their return were disappointed, owing to the lateness of the hour but were enabled to witness a horse race, which was very exciting. In addition to usually interesting exercises of the Y. P. S.C.E., a communion set was presented to Church by members of this society. The presentation speech was made by Miss Edythe Young and was responded to in a very pleasing manner by Dr Harwood, acting pastor. He spoke at length on the work young people were accomplishing in this vicinity. The Week Of Prayer is being observed at this place services each evening at the hall. The Farmers’ Alliance met Monday night. There was a large attendance. Great interest is taken in this new club. It promises to be one of the most popular societies that have stated that Governor is called on at any moment for riot duty. If this should turn errant than Governor is called on at any moment for riot duty.

At the meeting in December Judge Wilson stated the condemnation proceedings would begin in a few days. The delay is attributable to the failure of the abstract company to get in their work on time. There will be two suits, one against the Anaheim Water Company, which will be friendly, and the other against the Yorbas, in which it is confidently expected there will be more or less hair pulling.

The board thought that if Mr. Harpham, who is a very good-looking young gentleman, with autumn-hued wind-brakes fringing his jaws and running up to his ears on both sides, should be so fortunate as never to be led further astray than happened to be the case in the present circumstance, he should be very lucky indeed. Claim for extra work disallowed Mr. Harpham looks for his task, finds it and retires. Joseph Backs' bill for $2 for washing the floor of the office, was next placed on the dissecting table. One Director thought the work ought to be done for a quarter, but the lateness of the court, but were enabled to witness a horse race, which was very exciting.

GRIM VISAGED WAR. LOCAL MILITIAMEN MAY GO FORTH TO BATTLE FOR THEIR COUNTRY—THEY MAY BE CALLED ON TO DO GARRISON DUTY—MANY OF THE BOYS WANT TO GO. Our militia boys were thrown into some little excitement on Thursday evening at drill, when Lieut. Lewis read the following dispatch from Lieut. Colonel Palmer, commanding the Seventh Regiment, suggesting a brush with the Indians in the war in Dakota: Los Angeles, Jan. 5, 1891. To Lieut. Arthur Lewis, Commanding Company G, Anheim, Cal — Wire at once expression of yourself and command regar flag reporting for garrison duty: A. T. Palmer. Lieut. Col. Commanding Regiment. The message throw the boys into a flutter of excitement, and many of them were anxious to go at once. The telegram was somewhat indefinite, and no one knew where the command was expected to go. There are only two garrisons in the State — at San Diego and the Presidio in San Francisco. There are other garrisons nearer the seat of the Indian war, but the boys are not aversed to winning undying fame by going there. The necessity for the call is the Indian war in the Dakotas. A great battle is impending. General Miles has 10,000 troops surrounding the Indians, and a bloody battle is momentarily looked for. This is the greatest and destined to be the most bloody Indian war in our history. A "United States soldiers in this part of the country have been ordered into the field, and consequently the militia in the several western States have been ordered to dgarrison duty, and some regiments in Nebraska, near the sense of the seat of war, have been ordered to the front. Thus it is that Lieut. Col. Palmer telegraphs for further instructions, and yesterday received a letter stating that Governor Markham may be called on at any moment for troops to do garrison duty. If this should be so, the Southern California companies will be the first to volunteer to go. While there is nothing definite as yet, it may be said that our boys, if they consent to go with their regiment, will be ordered to do garrison duty in Arizona and New Mexico, soldiers from these points having been entered into the field. The Pasadena Company has volunteered to a man, and the Los Angeles and Ventura militia boys are enthusiastic about going. The commissioned officers held a meeting in Los Angeles on Tuesday night, and all companies have signified a willingness to go at their country's call. The following telegram: "GRIM VISAGED WAR.

A "United States soldiers in this part of the country have been ordered into the field, and consequently the militia in the several western States have been ordered to dgarrison duty, and some regiments in Nebraska, near the sense of the seat of war, have been ordered to the front. Thus it is that Lieut. Col. Palmer telegraphs for further instructions, and yesterday received a letter stating that Governor Markham may be called on at any moment for troops to do garrison duty. If this should be so, the Southern California companies will be the first to volunteer to go. While there is nothing definite as yet, it may be said that our boys, if they consent to go with their regiment, will be ordered to do garrison duty in Arizona and New Mexico, soldiers from these points having been entered into the field. The Pasadena Company has volunteered to a man, and the Los Angeles and Ventura militia boys are enthusiastic about going. The commissioned officers held a meeting in Los Angeles on Tuesday night, and all companies have signified a willingness to go at their country's call. The following telegram: "GRIM VISAGED WAR. LOCAL MILITIAMEN MAY GO FORTH TO BATTLE FOR THEIR COUNTRY—they May BE CALLED ON TO DO GARRISON DUTY—MANY OF THE BOYS WANT TO GO. Our militia boys were thrown into some little excitement on Thursday evening at drill, when Lieut. Lewis read the following dispatch from Lieut. Colonel Palmer, commanding the Seventh Regiment, suggesting a brush with the Indians in the war in Dakota: Los Angeles, Jan. 5, 1891. To Lieut. Arthur Lewis, Commanding Company G, Anheim, Cal — Wire at once expression of yourself and command regar flag reporting for garrison duty: A. T. Palmer. Lieut. Col. Commanding Regiment. The message throw the boys into a flutter of excitement, and many of them were anxious to go at once. The telegram was somewhat indefinite, and no one knew where the command was expected to go. There are only two garrisons in the State — at San Diego and the Presidio in San Francisco. There are other garrisons nearer the seat of the Indian war, but the boys are not aversed to winning undying fame by going there. The necessity for the call is the Indian war in the Dakotas.

The ball given by Evergreen Council of the Order of Legion of Honor on Wednesday evening last was a most enjoyable affair. Ninety couples tripped the light fantastic until the small hours of the morning. At midnight the dancers repaired to the Del Campo dining room, where one of the best suppers ever spread in Anaheim awaited the onslaught. After supper dancing was resumed, and kept up until the wes saa’hours. Financially the ball was a success. The Orange County Farmers’ Alliance met at Tustina on Saturday.

Doctor Johnson of the Westminster Tribune, who has returned from his northern exploring expedition, takes his typewriter in hand and typeswrites to us to say that he never thought of suspending the publication of his paper, and that it has never been offered for sale at any price. The Doctor was offered a job on the railroad at $150 per month and expenses while in the north, but as he can make more money and have more fun at Westminster he wisely declined to enter the service of the soulless corporation, and will continue in the newspaper business. Our townman W.J. Hill has the commisSION of the entire community in the untimely death of his son, Samuel J. Hill, aged 8 years, 4 months and 19 days. The youth accustomed to diphtheria on Thursday last, and was buried on Friday. The other children of the family, we are sorry to say, are down with diphtheria, but their recovery is hoped for. Not long ago Mr. Hill suffered a great bereavement in the death of his wife, and this second blow follows fast upon the heels of the first. He has the sincere condolence of all who know him. The hope is general that his other children may be spared to comfort him in his sorrow. The Temecula mines are being developed with great energy.

Mrs. J.W. Landell and Mrs. H.Cahan have kindly volunteered to superintend the stage setting of the studio scene, which will be as beautiful as costly brio—a brace, artistic draperies, and elegant furniture, combined with the well-known taste of these ladies, can make it. The costumes are modern and very elaborate; the evening dresses of the ladies in the ballroom scene being especially beautiful. The play is given to increase the library in our town, and it is hoped our citizens will turn out en masse and show their appreciation of our home talent.

The World Earched The facilities of the present day for the production of everything that will conduce to the material welfare and comfort of mankind are almost unlimited and when Syrup of Figs was first produced the world was enriched with the only perfect laxative known, as it is the only remedy which is truly pleasing and refreshing to cleanse the system gently in the Spring time or, if fact, at any time and the better it is known the mora popular it becomes.

Of the hold-overs Judge Towner, Clerk Wickham, Recorder Foster and Superintendent Greeley, nothing need be said except that, having filled their respective offices acceptably for a single term, they were all of them re-elected.
