LATE NEWS OF THE WEEK. Interesting Session of the Irrigation Directors. The Question of Treasurer Keith's Disqualification — No Assessment Will Be Levied This Year—Collector Cadman's Salary Done Away With Other Items—Anaheim Water Company-Loan and Building Association-Los Angeles Turners Have a Jolly Good Time—Supervisors. The Board of Directors of the irrigation district met in regular session on Tuesday, and had rather a busy day of it. The increased number of communications read by the Secretary was noticeable. Treasurer Keith attempted to explain why he thought he was not disqualified from holding his office by the fact that he resided out of the district. The board were of the opinion that the Treasurer held his office illegally, but the question of his resignation was deferred, at his request, to the next meeting. No tax levy was made, and there will be no assessment this year. Collector Cadman's salary of $50 per month was subjected to the evaporation process. The board voted to allow him only the fees of his office in future, which amount to about $25 a year. The resolution of the water company, providing the terms of the transfer of their property to the district, was agreed to, and the board as a Committee of the Whole, will confer with the water board and attempt to arrive at some satisfactory and final conclusion. Below will be found a complete resume of the proceedings. The board was called to order at 10 o'clock, with President Korn in the chair, and Directors Ryan, Spencer and Crowther present. Director Yorba was conspicuous by his absence. An effort had been made to get him to reconsider his resignation and come back and affiliate with the board. Senior Yorba sent back word that he would not sit on the board for love, money, marbles, frioles or anything else. The Secretary read the minutes of the last regular meeting and called meetings, which were amended and approved. The Treasurer reported funds on hand as follows: Cash on hand March 3. $3,528.20 Received from Collector. 488 55 Total. $5,000.81 his office as Treasurer, and cited as a precedent the fact that the lawyers employed by the district live in Los Angeles. Although his salary is nominal at present—being only $12 per month—he thought that when the district got to be in "good running order," the salary might be sufficient to make things interesting and claimed he should have any benefit that might come out of it. Directors Ryan and Spencer were both loaded for the truant Treasurer, and assured him that his case was entirely different from the lawyers, who were hired by the board, while he was elected by the people. They were decidedly of the opinion that Keith was disqualified from holding his office by the simple fact that he resided outside of the district. Col. Keith remarked that, in his opinion, the main objection to his retaining the office was on account of the cropping out of the "old-time prejudice against Santa Ana," and that if he lived at Garden Grove or some other seaside town, probably no notice would be taken of his emigration from the district. At all of which everybody laughed until they were red in the face. The truant Treasurer, who lives, moves and has his being in the wicked city of Santa Ana, and holds office here, was upon the very point of being gently placed upon the toboggan slide on the down and out trip, when the noon hour for he was by some one found to have arrived, and the board adjourned for lunch. At 1:30 o'clock, when the board was again called to order, being about to resume its deliberations investigations and such into the case of the Treasurer, Mr. Ryan arose and asked that Colonel Keith had requested him to inform the board that he desired the entire matter postponed until the next meeting, at which time if the board desire him to resign his office he will do so. The board agreed to this, and proceeded to consider the Pillbury letter regarding the State Association of irrigation districts. The board instructed the Secretary to write Mr. Pillbury stating that they were in favor of the State Association, but were not prepared at present to appropriate money for keeping it up. Claim of F. Ey, to be refunded money for alleged illegal assessments, referred to the attorneys of the district. Claim of P. A. Stauton for same referred back to him for further explanation. Dr. Holcomb of the trans sandwash country now enters the room, bearing aloft the following document which he says impressively is from the citizens of Fullerton. The secretary proceeds to read, while everybody gives attentive ear: To the Honorable Board of Directors of the Anaheim Irrigation District—We understated property holders and business men of Fullerton offer said irrigation district offices in Fullerton rent free for the term of two years commencing May, 1891, providing the office of said irrigation district is moved to Fullerton. (Signed): E. R. Amerie, Stearn & Goodman, Jilly & Brunswicker, Ford & Evans, Wm. Staruck, Holcomb & Casc, Fisher & Dunn, Caroline Dierksen and P. N. Holokas. As the lease in the Backs block continues until July 1st, consideration of the communi- THE OSTFORD ONE HUNDRED AND GO FOR THE PRICE OF $6,000 SERVES AN ATTENDANCE Yesterday afternoon fernia Ostrich Farm went at what seemed like for the astonishingly low buyers being R. J. Whiting, Mr. Johnson trich Farm, F. G. Ryder of the Norwalk Ostrich three former gentlemen quarter of the bargain, eighth apiece. Previous to the saga gathered, he seenning his announcement of made, however, and so that five gentlemen side track on the sale, quently proved worse for the trade were after Superintendent Arthur be sent to the Director's approval. It is Northham had an assurance that an offer of $40 accepted. The sale was on that basis; 162 birds Four hundred and eight off and on the entire lot $6,000. The only Dire pany present was Dw Toro. The one peculiarity that he thinks the rate ostriches, which was his column two weeks ago high, and all that sort Although the old compa anxious to quit the on Whiting is quite well said business over again. When the papers had led buyers were about less Sheriff Lacy and Deputy ley stepped up and then in garnishment against by C. B. Polhemus, A. Grow, Secretary, all and Dw Whitening of others, perhaps half a dozen know one or appears There are 162 birds at two of these are of the county by Sketchley, and cast $ are assessed at $11,000. The Secretary read the minutes of the last regular meeting and called meetings, which were amended and approved. The Treasurer reported funds on hand as follows: Cash on hand March 3. $3,525.20 Received from Collector. 488.81 Total. $9,000.81 Paid on warrants during March. 190.71 Balance on hand April 6. $8,776.10 The Collector reported that the deeds to property sold for taxes in 1889-90 were completed; also that the certificates of sale for this year's taxes had been made out. There are 278 certificates, and 117 deeds, all made out for delinquent property sold to the district. Each document is made out in duplicate, and there is a lot of work connected with their issuance. Director Ryan of the committee appointed to audit the books of the company reported that the committee had gone over the books of ex-Secretary Gardiner, and found that the ledger had been kept without regard to the necessities of the case. The accounts of the Collector could not be balanced on account of the improper manner in which the ex-Secretary's books were kept. In the minute journal there is no record of the meeting of September 18th of last year, although the memorandum shows a meeting to have been held on that day. There were other errors and inaccuracies. Secretary Garwood was instructed to write up the missing minutes, and attend to other matters demanding attention in his predecessor's books. Collector Cadman's accounts were found correct and his books in good shape. Although his books were not balanced with those of the ex-Secretary, that was owing to inaccuracies in the books of the latter. A balance will be drawn as soon as Secretary Garwood completes the writing up and posting of the books of his office. Treasurer Keith's books were found to be correct. The committee indulged in a little certain lecture to him in the matter of his drawing $136 from the funds of the district for his private use, but which he has replaced. The report of the committee was received and placed on file. The Secretary read communication from Will S. Green of Colusa in regard to the amendments to the Wright Act passed by the recent Legislature. The new bill will be printed by the State Printer, and copies will be sent to each irrigation district. The Secretary also read a communication from H. J. Pillabury of Tulare, Secretary of the State Association of irrigation districts. The act providing for the State Association was killed by the last Legislature, and Mr. Pillabury wrote asking the opinion of the board upon the question of continuing the association, and what part of the expense incurred this district would be willing to shoulder. The work of the association had been uniformly successful so far, not only in assisting to enact beneficial laws for the district, but in defeating unwise measures calculated to kill or render t'e districts inoperative. One act introduced into the Legislature provided that when a majority of the acres included in any district petitioned for the abrogation of the district, such abrogation should immediately take effect. This would render every irrigation district inoperative, and the association promptly took a hand and assisted in killing the bill. Consideration deferred. Dr. Holcomb b of the traus sandwash country now enters the room, bearing aloft the following document which he says impressively is from the citizens of Fullerton. The Secretary proceeds to read, while everybody gives attentive ear: To the Honorable Board of Directors of the Anaheim Irrigation District—We underigned property holders and business men of Fullerton offer their assistance if they request full payment free for the term of two years commenced May 1891 providing the office of said irrigation district is moved to Fullerton. (Signed): E. R. Amerige, Stearn & Goodman, Jilly & Brunawicker, Ford & Evans, Wm. Starbuck, Holcomb & Casso, Fisher & Dunn, Caroline Dlerksen and N.P. Holas. As a lease in the Backs block continues until July 1st, consideration of the communication was deferred until then. The receipt of the letter was acknowledged, and Mr. Crowther manifested a disposition to move across the sandwash right away. One thing is reasonably certain, and that is if something is not done to offset the proposition of the Fullerton capitalists, the office will be moved over about time the fire crackers are snapping in July. In the matter of the assessment levy for the ensuing year, Director Spencer introduced the following resolution, which was carried: Whereas, it is the sense of this board that no necessity exists for an assessment for the present year, there being no bond indebtedness to make it available. Resolved: That the Assessor be and he is hereby instructed to make no assessment for the current year. After the resolution had been carried, Mr. Spencer stated that he had another resolution to offer. The Doctor's good right hand had been busy writing loaded resolutions for some time. Here is what he read: Whereas, it is the sense of this board in the present state of affairs in the district that it will no longer be justified in paying the present salary for the duties performed in the Collector's office; therefore be it Resolved: That the resolution adopted by the board axing the salary of the Collector at $60 per month be fixed by the year and could not be done away with in such a peremptory manner. The resolution was carried unanimously, nevertheless. The Collector insisted that he would still be found on desk at his office just as ever. Director Ryan said the Collector would work for glory if he remained; the latter gentleman said "that would be all right," and the little matinee was at an end. In the matter of the resolution of the Anaheim Water Company regarding the terms of transfer of their property and the district, Mr. Ryan offered the following resolution, which was carried: Whereas, it appears from a resolution passed by the Directors of the Anaheim Union Water Company in a regular meeting of April 14th in relation to the terms of purchase and transfer of the property of A. U. W. Co., that only material difference between the proposition as stated by their resolution and that proposed by this board is one price, and as it is desirable that this question be settled as soon as possible. The board resolve itself into a committee to meet the board of the A. U. W. Co.at their next regular meeting to finally determine price and with full power to act in all respects. At 5 o'clock the board adjourned to the call of the chair. Annaheim S. L. and B. Association. This now firmly established institution of our city hold its regular monthly meeting in Back's building Saturday night. The report of the Secretary showed the institution to garnishment against C.B.Polhexus at President of the company has secured judgment in an amount of $1,300 were accordingly served. The stockholders, as loaned yesterday, are Maintent; C.B.Polhexus, A.Grow, Secretary, all and Dwight Whiting of others perhaps half a day no one knows or appears. There are 162 birds at two of these are of color by Sketchley, and cost $11,000. Atherton's opinion, then at $20,000. Last year 2 birds amounted to $3,000 over one acre of twelve birds.

Wilbur wrote for information concerning the assessment of our district, to together with other matters of interest to bond buyers. His request was granted and the Secretary was ordered to send the required information. Brunson, Wilson & Launne sent their opinion upon the question of redeeming property in the district, raised by Col. Taylor of Santa Ana last month. The attorneys were of the opinion that the board could not release a portion of any land sold for doliquent taxes. The communication of the Anaheim Union Water Company, in reference to the tabling of the district's proposition to abitrate the price of the water company's works, and the substitution of a new resolution by the old company, was read and filed. Secretary Garwood filed his bond in $2,000 with W. M. McFadden, H. Kroeger, B. F. Porter and Theo. Staley as sureties in the amount of $1,000 each. Approved and filed. The following bills were read and allowed: F. H. Keith, salary as Treasurer.....$12 A. B. Cadman, salary as Collector.....50 Kuchel Bro., printing.....14 J. Backs, rent.....12 B. V. Garwood, salary as Secretary.....15 P. Yorba, salary as Director from October 1st to January 1st.....36 Total.....$130 The Collector was instructed to cancel the certificate of sale of property belonging to Arthur C. Harvey, the same having been twice assessed. The disqualification of F. H. Keith as Treasurer of the district next claimed the attention of the board. Mr. Keith was present, and informed the board that his stay at Santa Ana was merely temporary, and that he should probably be back here in a very short time. As soon as he disposed of the stock of goods lately owned by Mr. Rutledge, who traded his business for Keith's orange orchard and has just gone into insolvency, he should return to Anaheim. Keith's residence at Santa Ana is merely for the purpose of disposing of Rutledge's stock of goods. He did not want to resign MARRIED.

The following communications: To the Directors of the Anaheim Having made demand upon you on the Wm. Haddox shares, he on said stock, Haddox transfer notwithstanding, I now ask Secr ony by the board. On motion of McFadden Strain, the communication table. Ayes: Kroeger, Strain. Noes: Schorn Chairman not voting. As in the negative, would have been presumed the motion was in view of the fact that they cast, would have been re-formative. Andrew Rorden gave them to construct a new ditch in North Anaheim. Mr. Hetebrink complained of by the recent washouts. Mr appointed a committee of the amount of loss. The resolution of the irrigation to the terms of the water company's property is read and on motion of Mr. on the table. A lengthy argument was vive thereto, that was not usual personalities for which rapidly acquiring a circus finally after the tabling resolution, Mr. Strain said it be "placed on record" regina which the resolution was taken he introduced the following Resolved That we accept Anaheim Irrigation District which 000 for improvements in accordance engineer now on file, then we will cash or its equivalent in bonds. No one thought the reason carried. Indeed it is quies its mover expected it would thing but a stormy disapprove the vote was called, the h reputation for doing the un passing the resolution, by Ayes—Kroeger, McFadden—Porter and Schorn. The balance due Dr. Garry was ordered paid, after deficiencies, etc. Nine unfortunate liabilities are in the employ of the co garnishment of $2 each. THE OSTRICH SALE ONE HUNDRED AND SIXTY-TWO BIRDS GO FOR THE RIDICULOUSLY LOW PRICE OF $6,000—SHERIFF LACY SERVES AN ATTACHMENT. Yesterday afternoon the birds at the California Ostrich Farm were sold, but not at public auction as had been advertised. The birds went at what seemed to be a private sale for the astonishingly low price of $6,000, the buyers being R. J. Northam, Dwight Whiting, Mr. Johnson of the Fallbrook Ostrich Farm, F.G. Ryan and C.W. Cawston of the Norwalk Ostrich Company. The three former gentlemen each assumed a quarter of the bargain, and the two latter an eighth piece. Previous to the sale a large crowd had gathered, who seemingly awaited some public announcement of the sale. None was made, however, and soon it was ascertained that the five gentlemen named had inside track on the sale, which events subsequently proved were correct. The papers for the trade were afterwards drawn up in Superintendent Artherton's cottage, and will be sent to the Directors at San Francisco for approval. It is understood that Northham had an assurance from the Directors that an offer of $40 per bird would be accepted. The sale was consequently made on that basis, 162 birds coming to $6,480. Four hundred and slightly dollars was knocked off and the entire lot of ostriches went at $6,000. The only Director of the old company present was Dwight Whiting of El Toro. The one peculiarity of Mr. Whiting is that he thinks the rate of $250 each for the ostriches, which was held to be fair in these columns two weeks ago, was out of sight—too high, and all that sort of thing you know. Although the old company is alleged to be anxious to quit the ostrich business, Mr. Whiting is quite well satisfied to start in the business over again. When the papers had been signed and the buyers were about leaving the cottage, Sheriff Lacy and Deputy Sheriff Jim Buckley stepped up and the latter served papers in garnishment against the concern issued by C.B. Polhemus of San Francisco, Vice President of the company. Mr. Polhemus has secured judgment against the company in the amount of $1,300, and the papers were accordingly served by the Sheriff. The stockholders, as near as could be learned yesterday, are Mossa Hopkins, President; C.B. Polhemus, Vice President; C.A. Grow, Secretary, all of San Francisco, and Dwight Whiting of El Toro. There are others, perhaps half a dozen, perhaps forty, no one knows or appears to be anxious to tell. There are 162 birds at the farm. Twenty-two of these are of the original lot imported by Sketchley, and cost $21,000. The birds are assessed at $11,000. In Superintendent Kleinigkeiten. —The dust in the streets is frightful.

PERSONAL MELANGE. Sheriff Lacy and Deputy Jim Buckley were in town yesterday. Superintendent Greeley was in town for a short time yesterday afternoon. Engineer Kellogg is engaged in surveying for the South Riverside Land & Water Co. District Attorney Sanborn was in town on Thursday last, paying his water company assessment. J.L.Holley, the Garden Grove potato man, was in town on Tuesday. He says potatoes are "way up." Editor Vail of the Santa Ana Press was bvery to see us last Wednesday night, looking on at the masquerade. David Yorba was in town yesterday.

The many friends unwell for several months will be glad to know that he is able to be out again. John Eastwood, an Orange News typo, was in to see us on Sunday. He is quite a pedestrian and thinks nothing of walking over from Orange and back again. Manager Herzog of the Sul Californische Post of Los Angeles, who came down with the turners on Sunday remained over until Monday. Herzog is quite a turner himself. Harry Jesson was over from Santa Ana on Friday last. He carries a large stock of marble goods, which those in need of the same should inspect before purchasing elsewhere. See his ad.

W.F.Botaford havers for Chicago shortly in garnishment against the concern issued by C. B. Polhemus of San Francisco, Vice President of the company. Mr. Polhemus has secured judgment against the company in the amount of $1,300, and the papers were accordingly served by the Sheaiff. The stockholders, as near as could be learned yesterday, are Mossa Hopkins, President; C. B. Polhemus, Vice President; C. A. Grow, Secretary, all of San Francisco, and Dwight Whiting of El Toro. There are others, perhaps half a dozen, perhaps forty, no one knows or appears to be anxious to tell. There are 162 birds at the farm. Twenty-two of these are of the original lot imported by Sketchley, and cost $21,000. The birds are assessed at $11,000. In Superiorendent Atherton's opinion, the birds are dirt cheap at $20,000. Last year the income from the birds amounted to $3,000 and something over. One acre of alfalfa will maintain twelve birds. The profits are made out by Superintendent Atherton to be as follows: Pair of breeding birds - $400 Interest one year - $25 Care and feed one year - $0 Total - $492 INCOME Feathers from birds - $100 Fifteen young birds - 750 Total - $850 Here we have a profit of $358 per year per pair, and at a very low rate for the birds. The rate of $6,000 for the lot is regarded by everybody as being ludicrously low. The birds may be transported to El Toro. THE CHINO ROAD TO BE TURNED INTO A STANDARD GAUGE AND CONNECT WITH THE TERMINAL. The latest news regarding the Anaheim and Chino Railroad is to the effect that it will be turned into a standard gauge road and probably connect at Long Beach with the Terminal Railroad from Los Angeles to Rattlesnake Island. Gird has been in conference with the Eastern capitalists who are backing the Terminal, and it is expected the result of their deliberations will be known in a day or two. It is probable that, if a junction may be made with the Terminal at Long Beach, wharves will be built at that place, and the terminus near New river abandoned. The road will run however substantially over the course already mapped out for it—through Garden Grove and Westminster and then swing around to Long Beach. Gird is expected here in a day or two, when final arrangements will be arrived at. The road will soon be under way. Meantime we must possess our souls in patience, conscious of the fact that we are yet the people. Anaheim Water Company. Considerable time of the meeting of the Board of Directors of the Anaheim Water Company on Saturday last was occupied in correcting the irregularities of the stock book.

Once the Judge gets his hand in him, he will never stop. Who are the couple to be married this evening?

He intends disposing of his Eastern property, after which he will give his entire attention to his interests in this section. City Trustees. The City Trustees at their regular meeting yesterday heard the monthly reports of officers, determined to sprinkle the streets until the next regular meeting, when the subject will be definitely settled, and deferred the selection of City Recorder until the next meeting. Ordinance No. 67, providing for the calling of a city election to take sense of the people on issuance of bonds, was introduced. It will be passed next week, when it will be printed.

TUFFREE On motion of McFadden, seconded by Strain, the communication was laid on the table. Ayes: Kroeger, McFadden and Strain. Nocs: Sohorn and Porter, the Chairman not voting.
