LATE NEWS OF THE WEEK. Matters of Interest in the Irrigation District. The County High School Badly Defeated Complete Returns Letter from the Landing Joel Parker Fumigates in the Day Time—Bob Wetzel Heard From—All the Happenings of the Past Seven Days The Board of Directors of the irrigation district met in regular session on Tuesday. Engineer Kellogg made an exhaustive report on the Yorba and La Habra reservoirs, work on the maps and surveys for the condemnation of which is being actively carried on. The board were addressed by the representatives of two companies having water property to sell, and will, perhaps next week, go to Rincon to inspect one of these water tracts. They granted the Southern Pacific Railroad Company a rehearing of their petition to be set out of the district. The petition comes up for rehearing on October 6th. Below will be found a comprehensive review of proceedings: The board was called to order shortly after 10 o'clock. Present, Chairman Korn, and Directors Stadtegger, Porter and Crowther. Director Ryan telegraphed from Santa Monica that he had missed the train and would therefore not be present. The Secretary read the minutes of the last regular and special meetings, which were approved. Engineer Kellogg submitted a report on the surveys made for condemnation of the Yorba and La Habra reservoirs. The site of the former embraces 67 acres, and the water line covers 51 acres. It will contain upwards of 51,000,000 cubic feet, and hold 375,000,000 gallons of water. The Yorza reservoir, situated at Flume 9, covers 253 acres, contains over 185,000,000 cubic feet and will hold nearly a billion and a half of gallons of water. Ex-Collector Cadman made his report of money collected during last month, amounting to $12.97. The report was received and filed. The Board of Audit were given further time on the books. An opinion from Judge Wilson, in reference to the fees of the Collector, was received and filed. interests of the people, particularly so when we suppose that, by the irre it has aroused of some public servant, it may have lost thereby pecunially some fat official advertising. To Mr. Armor individually we make our most respectful salute. True, and full true it is, he has honored himself and his constituents. We thank you, electors of Orange, for the good sense and judgment you showed in the selection of a man who has the courage and ability to stand up and defend the interests of the people. Although this election costs as estimated quite a large sum, it is cheap, dirt cheap, when one considers the gain thereby acquired. The schemers secured every advantage in order to succeed, and look and behold: outside of Santa Ana and Garden Grove the electors almost unanimously defeated the well concocted calculations. The electors of Orange county are no voting cattle, gentlemen. Taxpayer, with profound astonishment and indignation, read your article given as "Greeley's Masterful Speech" in your last issue. The honorable position of County School Superintendent we thought would not allow any man to stoop down to the most common and dirtiest of all tricks used in politics and elections—that of antagonizing one neighboring community against another in order to secure a full vote. What does Mr. Greeley expect the electors to be? Is it not the plain duty of every citizen to make himself acquainted with the law, and particularly upon important issues of special elections. Mr. Greeley may be an autocrat behind a desk in a wayside school, but although he has been elected County School Superintendent he cannot thereby be or become the autocrat of the electors of Orange county. That he fully expected to be such, his speech as reported plainly said so; he did not expect any opposition. He did not expect the people to read the law. What does he expect the 'people to do?' To be only voting cattle? TAXPAYER. WILD WAVES SAYINGS. THE SEASON AT AN END—CAMPERS RETURNING HOME—SEE YOU ALL AGAIN NEXT YEAR.

Ex-Collector Cadman made his report of moneys collected during last month, amounting to $1297. The report was received and filed. The Board of Audit were given further time on the books. An opinion from Judge Wilson, in reference to the fees of the Collector, was received and filed. A letter was received from Wm. Ham Hall in reference to his making a report on the district. Mr. Hall's work would cost, as previously stated in these columns, $750, and the printing of the report, which he wishes done in San Francisco, will come to $250 more. The other work necessary in connection with the report, such as maps, etc., will bring the amount up to about $1200. In addition to Mr. Hall's favorable notice of us it will be necessary to secure the favorable opinion of Wilson & Wilson, lawyers of San Francisco, who have been selected by the State Association to pass upon the legality of the irrigation districts of the State. Both reports will necessarily go together. The lawyers' charges have not as yet been made known to us. Mr. Hall's letter was received and filed. Various letters were received asking for information about the bonds. Judge McComas of Pomona and Dr. Conger of Pasadena appeared before the board, having water property to sell. Dr. Conger is desirous of selling the district a piece of water property at Rincon, which has 860 inches of water in sight, and from which, so he says, an unlimited quantity may be developed. This water is unused for the most part at present, and much of it runs to waste in the river bed. For this property the Doctor asks $150,000. As to the right of other people to use this water Mr. Stadtegger, who knows something about the property, cited what he took to be an analogous case that claimed the attention of the Santa Cruz courts some years ago. A man named Maybrick owned a piece of land whereon a living spring furnished a large stream of water, which flowed by the property of his neighbors and which was by them appropriated for purposes of irrigation. Maybrick desired to sell this stream, but his neighbors demurred to the sale, claiming that, having used the water for upwards of five years, they were entitled to their share of it by right of prescription. They enjoined Maybrick from selling the water. This might be a case in point, so Mr. Stadtegger thought, and he asked Judge Wilson if he could not elucidate upon the question further. Judge Wilsen replied that he did not know that he was competent to pass an opinion upon this point, as he had granted the injunction himself. While sitting upon the San Francisco bench the Judge was frequently called to other counties to try cases in which the local judges were disqualified, and had been one of them. At Dr. Conger's invitation the board will probably go up to Rincon, after they get through with their labors as a Board of Equalization, to inspect the property and look into the details of the case. Judge McComas' water property is also on the Rincon ranch, above Chino creek. Nothing definite was done about it, and the subject will be called up again. W. A. Witte filed his bond as Collector, but declined to serve at the salary fixed, viz., AGAIN NEXT YEAR.

Whitaker of Boston again called at the Landing. Misses Spencer, Boege, Polhemus and Bailey are visiting at the blue top tent. The last dance of the season will be held on Saturday night next. Mrs. Pritchard of Los Angeles is staying with her mother and brother at the warehouse. Rumor says there is soon to be wedding. Who can it be? Mrs. Tuffree and family, Mr. McFadden and family, Mr. Crowtor and family and the Misses Lewis and many others left for their homes on Monday. Mrs. A. Lewis and Miss Mosseman spent Sunday here. Soon we will bid farewell to you for this year, and to the briny deep, hoping to meet our friends next year, and that health and prosperity may be the lot of them all. R. L. Hunter accompanied by Mr. Little and Miss Hunter spent the day at the beach. U. S. A. FUMIGATE IN DAY TIME. JOEL PARKER OF ORANGE WRITES THAT HE DID IT, AND FOUND THE RESULTS GOOD. EDITOR GAZETTE.—You can fumigate in the daytime if you want to. The theory of actinic rays of light doing the damage to the tree when fumigated in daylight is "busted." I commenced some experiments about the 20th of August. I fumigated four trees, all the same size, using 4 ounces of sulphuric acid and 4 ounces of cyanide. One of them I fumigated at 1 o'clock, giving 40 minutes; one at 5 o'clock, giving 40 minutes; the other at 8 o'clock, giving 40 minutes. The one at 5 p.m. was not burnt as much as the 8 o'clock at night. These had 4 times as much water as acid. The 1 o'clock in the day I gave six times as much water as acid. It burnt about four inches of the tender growth, but did not mark any of the fruit. I find the bugs all dead. I would like any one who wishes to come and examine the trees and see for themselves. I have known for some time that it was the acid that does the harm to the tree under the old way of mixing. It goes off like powder and carries the acid up in the vapor and heat. It is heat rather than the ray of light that does the mischief. By adding a sufficient amount of water it goes off slower and doesn't carry the acid up.

At Dr. Conger’s invitation the board will probably go up to Rineon, after they get through with their labors as a Board of Equalization, to inspect the property and look into the details of the case. Judge McComas’ water property is also on the Rincón ranch, above the Chino creek. Nothing definite was done about it, and the subject will be called up again. W. A. Witte filed his bond as Collector, but declined to serve at the salary fixed, viz., $50 per month from October 1st to April 1st, and $25 for the rest of the time. In the matter of the Southern Pacific Railroad’s petition to be set out of the district. Mr. Hotchkiss of the railroad company wrote informing the board that, inasmuch as two members of the board had not heard the testimony offered by the company in behalf of its petition to be set out of the district, he desired to introduce the testimony again. With the permission of the board, he would set the next meeting day, October 6th, as the date for the introduction of this testimony. As the railroad pays all expenses connected with the rehearing, no objection was made to Mr. Hotchkiss’ request, and a rehearing was accordingly granted. The advertisement of the petition recounting the railroad’s position will be found in another column. The following demands against the district were allowed: J. Marlett, error in assessment. B. C. Albers, name. A. L. Lewis, library. J. M. Griffith, bundle of laths. A. B Cadman, August salary. Los Angeles Herald, advertising. B. V. Garwood, salary and expenses. H. C. Kellogg, engineer. Total: $2227 Engineer Kellegg was instructed to make two maps for the district, one to show all public roads, prominent topographical features, canals, ditches, reservoirs, etc., and the other to show the subdivisions and water shed of the district. The board adjourned to meet as a Board of Equalization, in the work of which they are now engaged. Not Voting Cattle. Editor Gazette.—The calculations and villainous schemes of those friends of the people, who always “rake their brains in order to derive a proportionate benefit for the friendship to the dear people,” has been most gloriously upset. THE GAZETTE deserves the thanks of the taxpayers of Orange county for its bravery and its liberality with which it gave its labor and space to the true Huenna Park. For the first time in the annals of this village have the wedding bells been rung. A very lovely wedding took place at the residence of James A. Whitaker at two o’clock Tuesday afternoon. The contracting parties were two of the most popular young people of the Park—Lillian, the daughter of Jas. A. Whitaker, and J. H. Whitaker, second son of A. W. Whitaker. The ceremony was performed by Rev. Harwood, and witnessed by relatives and intimate friends. The bride was attired in white, carrying a bouquet of white roses and honeysuckles. The house was decorated with pink and white flowers. The mantle was banked with La France roses and ivy vines. After refreshments the bridal party left on the Santa Fe line for Coronado, amid a shower of rice and good wishes of loving friends. Rev. H. P. Case was at the Park last Thursday. He is always a welcome guest. Mrs. Tanner left the village Monday for San Francisco. Next Saturday week at 7 p.m. the Y. P. S. O.E. will give a “tea meeting” in the church building for the benefit of the church. Miss Mary Purnell of Truro, Nova Scotia, was a guest of Mrs. Tanner on Sunday. Next Sunday evening the Y. P. S.C.E. have their first anniversary meeting. Appropriate services will be held. Farmers’ Healing Liniment is a sure cure for piles. For sale by W. M. Higgins, drugsgist, Anaheim, Cal.

There was a snowstorm of ballots in this county at Saturday's election that made it exceedingly chilly for the county high school. As predicted in the columns of this journal, the storm raged with particular severity in the country districts, and it was also felt with tolerable violence at Santa Ana. In this township it was very cold for Mr. Keran's school. In town 155 votes were polled, only three being in favor of the school, and one of them so by mistake. Six illegal ballots, being stamped improperly, were thrown out. At West Ausheim the weather was also exceedingly frosty, 54 votes being polled against the school, to four in favor of it—and one or two of them so by mistake. At Fullerton the thermometer was very low, 68 votes been thrown against the school and seven in favor of it—several of the latter being mistakes. The cold wave awung around to Buena Park, where it raged with especial severity, 36 votes being polled against the school and only one in favor of it—thought to be a mistake. Yorba was also struck by the cold wave, polling 20 votes against the school and two in favor of it. The weather was very cold at Orange, where 137 votes were polled against the school, and four in favor of it. West Orange plied 41 votes against the school, and up to the hour of going to press the election board have not been able to find a single vote in favor of the school. At Westminster the weather was so cold that it threatened the vegetable crop. One hundred and two votes were polled against the school, and 18 for it. At San Juan it was excessively frosty, 48 votes being polled against the school, and three for it. At St James the thermometer stood: Against the school, 54; in favor of it, 5; very frosty. The weather was chilly at Tustin, 83 against, 30 for; and at New Hope the thermometer went away down, 21 against, 8 for. Santa Ana polled 531 votes in favor of the school and 71 against. Many of the people stayed away from the polls, and the vote was light throughout the county. Following are the returns complete: Against For. Santa Ana.....71 Ausheim.....146 West Ausheim.....54 Buena Park.....36 Fullerton.....68 Orange.....137 West Orange.....14 Westminster.....102 Garden Grove.....51 New Hope.....21 Kleinigkeiten. Whopees! Hoop la! We are the people! But how the voters did sit down on the county high school! J. P. Greeley lost fifteen tons of hay by fire at Placentia on Saturday night. It was rumored a few days ago that Dr. Gardiner had returned, but the report proved to be unfounded. It is reported that the Santa Ana Blade is desirous of swallowing the Press. Worse things might be done with it. Studies at St. Catherino's Academy were resumed on Monday. There is quite a large attendance of scholars. Vote against the county high school—oh? Oh, yes, the election is over. But how we did vote against the county high school? The Orangethorpe school opens on Monday next, with L. R. Tarr of Tropico as teacher. Mr. Tarr is a graduate of Los Angeles Normal school. The meeting of fruit growers next Saturday to form a fruit grower's association will be held at Kroeger's Hall at 2 o'clock. There should be a large attendance. The Board of Directors of the irrigation district yesterday began their session as a Board of Equalization. They will continue the equalizing process for ten days. The case of the Anaheim Water Company vs. the Yorbas came up in the Los Angeles Superior Court on Monday and was again postponed until September 7th. H. J. Schulz of this city and Miss Matilda E. Braun of Santa Cruz were married in the latter city one day last week. The happy couple will reside in Anaheim. We tender them our congratulations. Notice the change in Prof. Frantz's advertisement. He is the agent of the Santa Ana steam laundry and is prepared to give everybody a shave, shampoo or haircut at shortest notice and at reasonable rates.

Felix of Los Angeles was in town on Tuesday and called in to see us. Rev. Mr. Schulz of Pasadena was the guest of Rev. Vogel on Monday. Judge McComas of Pomona was in town on a flying business trip on Tuesday. E. P. Fowler came up from San Diego during the week, to remain a short while. Judge Wilson was down in attendance at the meeting of the irrigation board Tuesday. Mrs. C. O. Rust, who has been sojourning at Long Beach, returned home on Monday. S. P. Bates and family have removed to Los Angeles, where they will in future reside. Miss Frances Schmidt is in New York, where she will remain on an extended visit to her father. I. E. Cadman, a brother of A. B. Cadman, is here with his family, from Nebraska, and may remain permanently. Messra Gale and Godfrey visited Chino sugar factory one day last week, and brought back some samples of sugar. George Horr has been confined to his residence with illness during the week. Ed Pellegrin is doing his work in the bank. Miss Jessie Witte is the new assistant Postmaster. She makes a very pretty picture in the frame of the delivery window. Mrs. Curtis, who lives at Long Beach, where her son is in the employ of the railroad company, was in town during the week visiting friends. Dr. Conger of Passidena, who made it so interesting for Markham in the last campaign in connection with the "Old Pard" letter, was in town on business on Tuesday. George Lombard has gone into the commission business for himself, with headquarters at Los Angeles. He was in town the other day, and reports business good. The Misses Thomas of New York, sisters of Adolph Thonnass, who have been visiting with him and his wife for some time since their marriage... Twenty-four illegal ballots were polled in the county. The snowander is complete. It is not likely the scheme will bop up again before the general election next year. Greoley's Masterful Speech. Extract from Supt. Greeley's speech in support of the county high school at Santa Ana August 24th: "We did not expect there would be any opposition to the matter when it was first brought up. No county is so well situated for a county high school. There is no community but that could send pupils to the high school. The opposition so strongly waged is not an opposition to the high school; they talk against Santa Ana—to down Santa Ana. The opposition have gone so far as to look up the law to see who is going to be benefited. They say Santa Ana wants a Courthouse, and they urge that they will teach those Santa Ana follows that they can't run Orange county. There would be no opposition if those people thoroughly understood the question, and were not led astray by their prejudices." The Orange News comments: "And what shall we say of our Superintendent! Our cheeks mantle with shame that any official of Orange county should descend so low as to appeal to the lowest and most brutal passions of the human breast for the purpose of carrying a point! Nothing in the annals of anarehism could be worse than this! Will Santa Ana permit herself to be played upon and her jealousy fanned into a flame by every demagogue who wishes to use her? Have we not declared over and over that we merely wish to discuss and protect our mutual interests, those of the whole county? When will Santa Ana feel so secure and at the same time be so disposed to deal justly that she can say: 'Come let us reason together over this matter.'" Greoley Helped to Mold the Law. We find the following in the Blake's report of Prof. Plummer's address at Tustin: "He could not understand the reason for the opposition, but he had heard it stated that it was because Santa Ana was trying to monopolize everything. He assured the audience that Santa Ana did not start the ball to rolling—that was done by the educators of Orange county, some of whom, with Superiority, had helped to mold Ana steam laundry and is prepared to give everybody a shave, shampoo or haircut at shortest notice and at reasonable rates. —"Hamau" Hussmann having been and seen the sights in Los Angeles during four days and as many evenings, has returned and resumed operations on his "think tauk." —Bob Hussmann runs a chair in Prof. Fox's tonsorial establishment, now that Prof. Butler has departed for the East.

The carpenters are through, and the building will be ready for occupancy in another week. It is a conspicuous ornament to the architecture of our city. —Three votes in Anaheim for the county high school, and one of them known to have been a mistake! Only two voters in Anaheim in favor of Mr. Keran's little scheme; but the people sat down upon it with a dull sickening thud. —The advertisement of the Pacific Coast Steamship Company's time table for September will be found in its accustomed place this morning. It will be observed that the Queen of the Pacific will not stop at Redondo or Newport. —The editorial household is under obligations to Mrs. Littlefield for a basket of luscious peaches, the finest we have seen for a long time. Also to Miss Minnie Zeyn for a superb collection of figs and peaches. Thanks, ladies, call again. —Rev. J. Kogler, the German Lutheran minister, from Orange, will preach next Sunday afternoon at half-past two in the Presbyterian Church. German residents of Anaheim and vicinity are cordially invited to be present. —Capt. Lewis informs us that Col. Schreiber of the Seventh was in every way a model commanding officer, and gave the best of satisfaction to the guardmen in his regiment at the Santa Monica encampment. We do our hat to Col. Schreiber. —Although our friend Charles Allgeyer, who owns a farm northwest of town, was busy on Saturday he didn't know what to do, he nevertheless took the time to go to the polls at West Anaheim and vote against the high school. Shake, Charles, you're a brick! —Some of the members of the County Board of Education, who ran away with the idea that they controlled the county, were caught in a dreadful snowstorm on Saturday, and were buried so deep that perchance we shall never look upon their like again. Did you hear about it? —Letters for the following persons remain uncalled for at the Postoffice: Joseph Bauer, O.C. Blodget, Miss Lillie Bowen, Sr. Pedro Cano, Miss Sarah Cazas, J.H. Clark, Taylor Hornbeck, C.A. Howard, Mrs.W.Johnson, W.L.Keith, Chas,Lathrop,H.Lyon,A. Levi,H. StilmanJ.S.Weber. —the Postoffice Department at Washington has seen fit to cut down Mrs.Bates' allowance for rent in the Postoffice; though why it should do so is not clear. The Postoffice Department at Washington, besides being positively the worst we ever had, is also parsimonious to a degree where her son is in the employ of the railroad company, was in town during the week visiting friends. Dr. Conger of Pasadena, who made it so interesting for Markham in the last campaign in connection with the "Old Pard" letter, was in town on business on Tuesday. George Lombard has gone into the commission business for himself, with headquarters at Los Angeles. He was in town other day, and reports business good. The Misses Thomas of New York, sisters of Adolph Thonnass, who have been visiting with him and his wife for some time past, departed last week for San Francisco, where they will remain for a short time before returning East. M.R.Pendleton of Fullerton and Miss May Frost of Colierville, Tenn., were married at home of the bride's parents on Monday of last week.

Harry Bentley of Westminster was with us on Saturday evening,jubilating over the defeat of Mr.Keran's county high school.Bentley brought up the returns from Westminster and Garden Grove,and although the latter precinct went wrong by a few votes.Westminster rolled up a great big majority against the school.Bentley was tickled just as much over the defeat of the school as was "any man in Anaheim." Here Is Bob Wetzel! Information reached us yesterday that our old friend,Herr Bob Wetzel,who used to play skate so well,and who skipped out of town owing everybody whom he had dealing with,has located at San Jacinto,San Diego county. Wetzel's household effects were shipped there yesterday and the day before. Some of the goods were taken over to Orange for shipment,presumably to throw the people here off the track.Wetzel's family left yesterday to join him. The people of San Jacinto will find in Wetzel one of the smoothest characters they ever met. He owes everybody here and borrowed money under false pretenses from many people.His record is bad in Achison,kansaswhere he came from,and there is not a redeeming feature in his case so far as is known.Hebilkedthemanwhoh started him in business,andhebilkedhisfriends right and left.I would be made exceedingly warm for him if ever he showed up here again.

Grecoley Helped to Mold the Law. Orange Post. We find the following in the Blade's report of Prof. Plummer's address at Tuatin: "He could not understand the reason for the opposition, but he had heard it stated that it was because Santa Ana was trying to monopolize everything. He assured the audience that Santa Ana did not start the ball rolling—that was done by the educators of Orange county, some of whom, with Superintendent Greeley, had helped to mold the law that resulted in the county high school law." Now we have got to the bottom of things. The Amaheim Gazette charged the junta in the Board of Education, some days ago, with starting the measure. The Blade denied it and mentioned some of the signers of the petition as proof. As though anybody must sign the petition he carries around and advocates. In the remarks quoted which were made in defense of Santa Ana, we learn that this junta not only started the movement here, but laid their groundwork in the last Legislature. They not only planned to saddle the burden of a local benefit on the whole county, but they even prepared the cinch with which to fasten it! Respectfully, S. Armor. Church Announcements.

The Postoffice Department at Washington has seen fit to cut down Mrs. Bates' allowance for rent in the Postoffice; though why it should do so is not clear.

All work done is under the French system, and warranted first-class. Give the lady a call if you wish for anything in her line.
