THE NEWS OF THE WEEK. City Bonds to Go at 90, With a Commission. Not Yet Sold, but Probably Will Be To-Morrow—The Sale Will Cost Us $1,500—But Maybe We Shall Have a Sugar Factory—The People Will Hold Meetings About It Anyhow—Smooth Mr. Frasier Never Missed a Meat or Paid a Cont-San Diego's Bank Failure—Mr. Culton Loses $50,000 and Mr. Fowler $5,000. The Board of City Trustees met in special session at 11 o'clock yesterday morning to hear a report of the committee on the sale of the bonds. The full board was present. The following letter was read from R. G. Lunt, the Los Angeles broker mentioned last week as endeavoring to place the bonds: Los Angeles, Nov. 1, 1801. W. A. Witte, Anaheim, Cal.—DEAR Sir: In re Anaheim City Improvement bonds, I can sell these bonds at par, charging you a commission of $1,600. The Eastern market has been so depressed by the recent bank failures there that this is the very best I can do. I have tried in various directions in the money centers in this country and this is the very utmost that can be realized on them. I may say to you frankly that I have placed these bonds at 90, allowing me a commission of $300 to place them. If you desire to close on these terms the money is ready for you at any time within a week. I may also say that the parties will of course pay any accrued interest on the bonds. Yours very truly, R. G. LUNT. Trustee Witte moved that Mr. Lunt's terms be accepted, seconded by Trustee Schindler, Mr. Littlefield stated that he believed he could make the sale to Mr. Bullard, who has recently arrived in town from Boston, on more advantageous terms. The meeting took a short recess to permit Mr. Littlefield to call upon Mr. Bullard. That gentleman was found to be out of town. Mr. Littlefield stated he would vote in favor of Mr. Witte's resolution if it were deferred until such time as he could confer with Mr. Bullard, and should not succeed in making better terms with him. Mr. Witte thoupon withdraw his motion, and the board adjourned to meet to-morrow morning at 9 o'clock. Disastrous Bank Failure. The Southern California National Bank of Delightful than California at that season of the year, says a New Jersey paper, and the shrewd Eastern capitalists get both profit and pleasure from these tours. Many of them have money invested in the wonderful fruit valleys of the State which gave to the public both Sunol and Denis Kearney. The Boston idea is worthy of imitation. It is to be noted that every part of this great seepublic has some crowning excellence or resources which, properly developed, will make it an object of interest to visitors from abroad and at home. California will become the greatest fruit garden in the world. There are also localities peculiarly adapted to dairy-ing and the making of delicious and profitable cheeses which we are beginning to find can be made better in the United States than any in Europe. Every part of this great country has its own special attraction, but the fruit-growers of California have had the shrewdness to develop their region beyond most others. Some 300 carloads of rains of fine quality have been shipped East from the great fruit State this fall. In thirty-sight counties oranges are growing, and there are altogether 4,000,000 orange trees with 1,000,000 in bearing. Beside this, California has already 3,000,000 lemon trees. A Sugar Factory for Anaheim. An informal meeting of citizens of Anaheim and Garden Grove was held at Kroeger's Hall Wednesday afternoon for the purpose of arranging dates for a series of meetings to discuss the practicability of establishing a co-operative sugar factory here. F. J. Capitain of Los Angeles, who was the consulting architect of the Chino sugar factory and has taken a lively interest in sugar beet matters, was present. There were present also, Dr. Warner and Messrs. Hough, Bills and Beckett of Garden Grove, and a representative gathering of the business men of this city. The idea is to form a co-operative factory, with a capital stock of $375,000, and the entire countryside is to be asked to lend assistance to the undertaking. It was decided to hold public meetings at Garden Grove on Tuesday, November 24th, at 2 o'clock P.M., and at Buena Park and Fullerton on Wednesday, the 25th—that at the Park at 11 o'clock A.M. and at Fullerton 2 o'clock P.M. These meetings will be addressed by Mr. Capitain and others, and a long pull and a strong pull will be made all along the line to see if we cannot start the factory here. On Wednesday, December 2d, a general meeting will be held in this city, to be attended by the people of the entire countryside when a formal beginning of the work in hand will be made. We raise the best beets on earth, and a factory here would be not only a good paying investment for the stockholders, but would be bonanza for the town. It would Col. Keith of yesterday.

The meeting took a short recess to permit Mr. Littlefield to call upon Mr. Bullard. That gentleman was found to be of town. Mr. Littlefield stated he would vote in favor of Mr. Witte's resolution if it were deferred until such time as he could confer with Mr. Bullard, and should not succeed in making better terms with him. Mr. Witte thoroupon withdraw his motion, and the board adjourned to meet to-morrow morning at 9 o'clock. Disastrous Bank Failure. The Southern California National Bank of San Diego suspended payment on Friday last. Among the depositors in the institution were Mr. J. W. J. Culton of this place, who is said to have had $50,000 on deposit there, and Mr. E. P. Fowler, also of our city, who had $5,000 in the bank. Mr. Culton did all of his business at the bank, and all his surplus cash was deposited there. The bank paid 5 per cent interest on deposits, and this is given by bankers as the reason for the suspension. It is believed the bank will be able to pay dollar for dollar. Messrs. Culton and Fowler have large landed interests here and elsewhere. They are part owners in the big walnut orchard below town, and are among the wealthiest men in the county. Their loss is to be regretted, but we hope they may be able to get their money back. Present indications are that they will. Both are in San Diego looking out for their interests. Saturday night a special train passed through town at midnight bearing $150,000 to the San Diego banks, and Sunday night another special pass through with a larger amount for them. Mr. Fowler has been unwell at San Diego for some time, and would have been with us long ago but for his health. He is recovering and will return shortly, when he will begin the erection of a palatial residence on his orchard property below town. To Grow Better, Wheat. The head officials of the Santa Fe road have been interesting themselves lately in improving the variety of wheat grown by farmers in Southern California. They have written the Olive Milling Company for their views of the matter, and Secretary Small replies as follows: OLIVE, Cal., Nov. 9, 1891. S. B. Hynes, General Agent Southern California Railway Company—DEAR SIR: By your favor of the 7th inst., we are pleased to learn that your people are also interested in having the farmers of Southern California grow a better quality of wheat, as we have for the past three years been trying to impress upon them that it is more for their interest than for ears. Until this season we have not been able to get a single car of pure White Australian wheat on the line of your road, but last month we obtained a fine lot of two cars at Elsunore and made a special run on it, and successfully demonstrated that it would produce as fine a quality of flour as any San Joaquin county wheat that we ever ground. While the farmer in the San Joaquin and adjacent valleys have attempted to raise White Australian, they have almost invariably had a mixture of either Sonora or Delancee wheat with it, either of which will not make good flour, thereby cutting off the price from milling to No. 2 shipping. We also find the same fault, though not so universal, in the White Russian variety grown along your line from Pasadena to San Bernardino, and in this valley it is more or less It was decided to hold public meetings at Garden Grove on Tuesday, November 24th, at 2 o'clock P.M., and at Buena Park and Fullerton Wednesday, the 25th—that at the Park at 11 o'clock A.M. and at Fullerton 2 o'clock P.M. These meetings will be addressed by Mr. Captain and others, and a long pull and strong pull will be made all along the line to see if we cannot start the factory here. On Wednesday, December 2d, a general meeting will be held in this city, to be attended by the people of the entire countryside, when a formal beginning of the work in hand will be made. We raise the best beets on earth, and a factory here would be not only a good paying investment for the stockholders, but would be a bonanza for the town. It would serve to bring us into closer relations with the rich Garden Grove country, and would bring business into town at a lively rate. Farmers would sell their beets and do their trading here. And we should get the benefit of a hundred skilled workingmen living in our midst. The people of Anaheim should not let this opportunity pass. The Chino factory is a bonanza to its owners, and a factory here will be the same great good thing to the shareholders. Let us all get together and talk sugar factory! Remember the dates: At Garden Grove Tuesday, November 24th, at Fullerton and Buena Park the next day, and the grand final whop-up in this city Wednesday, December 2d. The farmers who raise beets and subscribe to the capital stock get their money for their beets and likewise share in the Government's bounty. It will be a great thing for the country if we start it. Buenna Park. One of the most interesting Sunday school conventions of this county was held in the Congregational Church last Saturday. The county was well represented. There were about 150 delegates and friends present. The programme was one of unusual interest to Sunday school workers, and all will try to profit by the principles set forth. Mr. and Mrs. H. C. Campbell of Manitoba and Mr. John Henry of Toronto are guests at A.W. Whitaker's. Prof. Van Leen spent Sunday at Centralia Hotel. Rev. H. C. Case was a guest at D.J. Young's over Sunday. He organized a Sunday school at Orangesthorpe on Sunday afternoon with a number of workers from this visinity and a large number from Orange-thorpe. It was a very pleasant occasion. BUENA. The Dry Spell. The rainy season hangs off, and the long-protracted dry weather is giving rise to uneasiness. At this time last year a great deal of rain had fallen—indeed so much that diseases caused by an excess of humidity in the atmosphere were becoming frequent. November has generally been a wet month, and when the precipitation for the month is light it generally means a dry season. In the dry season of 1855-56, when the recorded precipitation was in the northern part of the State only 10.46 inches, November was credited with .65 of an inch; again in 1858-59, which was a dry season, only .15 of an inch fell in November; in 1862-63, when the season's rainfall was 11.25, the observer only noted a "sprinkle" of rain in November; in 1870-71, when the total rainfall was 8.47, only .59 fell in November; in 1876-77, when the precipitation was 8.96 It will be a great thing for the country if we start it.

The water grave look at his resseer found all the way But the water did no damage paired, now there... wheat on the line of your road, but last month we obtained a fine lot of two cars at Elsmore and made a special run on it, and successfully demonstrated that it would produce as fine a quality of flour as any San Joaquin county wheat that we ever ground. While the farmer in the San Joaquin and adjacent valleys have attempted to raise White Australian, they have almost invariably had a mixture of either Sonora or Delancey wheat with it, either of which will not make good flour, thereby cutting off the price from milling to No. 2 shipping. We also find the same fault, though not so universal, in the White Russian variety grown along your line from Pasadena to San Bernardino, and in this valley it is more or less mixed. We obtained a few cars of straight White Russian grown near Ontario, for which we gladly paid 10 cents per cental above the general market price then ruling. By looking any day at the price of wheat in San Francisco you will notice that milling wheat is from 5 to 10 cents above No. 1 shipping, or 15 cents above No. 2 shipping, which is the grade of the largest portion of the Southern California wheat this year. We would be glad to pay far what wheat we use (some 5,000 tons per annum) San Francisco prices for wheat delivered at our mill of same grades. Our observations have been that along the line of your road all of the country south of San Bernardino to Los Angeles and south of Rincon is better fitted to grow the White Russian wheat, as it will not rust and is, therefore, a surer crop. But above East Riverside, in all the mountain valleys, from wherever we have drawn any wheat, we feel sure that with good, clean cultivation the White Australian will yield a good crop of milling wheat that will invariably command a higher price. It should not be sown in ground that has had mixed wheat on the year previous, as only a small mixture of Sonora or Delancey will preclude it from grading as milling wheat. Also, that it is preferable to sow northern grown seed if possible, as it seems to get a more vigorous growth early in the season when it is most under. Pure seed, thorough cultivation and early seeding we believe will bring more dollars into the farmers' pockets of Southern California than it will possibly do on an average in the San Joaquin valley. It also means more dollars for your people and ourselves. Yours very truly, OLIVE MILLING COMPANY. J. P. SMALL, Secretary: CALIFORNIA IN WINTER. It is a Boston idea to form excursions to visit the fruit-growing regions of California during the month of February. Any place short of a paradise itself could not be more atmosphere were becoming frequent. November has generally been a wet month, and when the precipitation for the month is light it generally means a dry season. In the dry season of 1855-56, when the total recorded precipitation was in the northern part of the State only 10.46 inches, November was credited with .65 of an inch; again in 1858-59, which was a dry season, only .15 of an inch fell in November; in 1862-63, when the season's rainfall was 11.25, the observer only noted a "sprinkle" of rain in November; in 1870-71, when the total rainfall was 8.47, only .58 fell in November; in 1876-77, when the precipitation was 8.96 November showed .30. On the other hand, when the precipitation during the rainy season has been liberal November has generally contributed its full share. Thus, in 1852-53, when 36 inches of rain fell, 6 inches fell in November; in 1861-62, when 35 inches fell, November is credited with 2.17; in 1867-68, when the fall was 32.79, 3.81 fell in November; in 1885-86, when the precipitation was 32.27, November contributed one-third of the total, or 11.34 inches; and last year, as every one remembers, November was the wettest of the long wet months. A little more than half of the month has passed, but we still have a plenty of time for copious showers before the beginning of December. The weather sharps predict that insamuch as November has so far been dry, December will be unusually rainy. Since the grain and fruit are about all gathered in, the people begin to feel that a genuine old-fashioned rain would be a thing to thank fortune for. It would open up the farming interests, lay the dust, bring the wild gesees, purify the atmosphere, knock the old leaves off the trees and assist nature and the race of men wonderfully in carrying out the unchangeable degrees of fate. For chafing, itching, poison oak, sunburn, scalds, burns, etc., use Farmers' Healing Liniment. For sale by W. M. Higgins, druggist, Anaheim, Cal. Palace Restaurant. G. W.

Five flags are used to signal the different forecasts. An interpretation of the signals will be found in an article printed on the first page. These forecasts will be found of value to farmers and orchardists. Frost, rains and sudden changes of temperature are foretold with accuracy from twenty-four to forty-eight hours ahead. The interpretation of the signals printed on the first page is simple. Every one should know them, so that he may be able to tell what the weather will be by a glance at the signals. If you are interested in sudden changes of the weather, watch the flags over Cahoon's store. Donald Frasier Wasn Smooth Young Man. Donald Frasier, a young man about 25 years old, who worked on the Blacklaw ranch, five miles northwest of here, is wanted for obtaining money under false pretenses. He went to Los Angeles last week and bargained to sell 2,000 sacks of corn, belonging to Blacklaw, and received $200 down to bind the bargain. He had no authority to make the sale, and now Blacklaw is after him. Frasier is a "smooth" fellow, and borrowed various sums of money here before he left. Last summer he stayed at the Redondo Hotel and also at the Hollenbeck in Los Angeles and left full-grown board bills behind him. His description has been telephoned all over the State, and the officers will make an effort to bring him back. A Gepher that Lived in a Reservoir's Bank. A gopher that had lived in peace and happiness at the site of Tim Carroll's big reservoir below town was routed out of its home by the water and took up its habitation in the west bank of the reservoir above the water line. Here it lived happily for sometime until one night last week, when the bank caved in on account of the vapint's excavations, and then broke away to do the job up thoroughly. That gopher met a wet and watery grave. When Tim went out to look at his reservoir the next morning he found all the water had run out of it too. But the water escaped into the arroyo, and did no damage. The break has been paired, now the reservoir is full again, the manza. Good luck to them. Patriotic citizens ought to pay their taxes without subjecting the city authorities to the necessity of instituting suit for it. Last week the city paid $15 to recover $20 in back license taxes.

The obscuration was almost total, the full moon of the evening before appearing like a new moon hanging in the eastern sky. Shortly after 6 o'clock the moon emerged from the shadow, and will not get into it again for 18 years. K. A. R. Keenner, formerly of this place, has been appointed guardian of the minor Joseph G. Barrett, who was given a judgment of $8,500 the other day against the Southern Pacific Railroad for breaking his leg at their turntable at Santa Ana.

These young gentlemen are "rustlers," and are rapidly building up a reputation for business push and enterprise that is second to none in the county. Our friend Dave Yorba was in to see us the other day. He informs us the next time his store is entered by robbers, and his safe drilled full of holes, there will be work for the Corosser out his way, providing he gets within shot of the thieves. A poquille cold lead, Dave, works to a charm in this kind of business. Evergreen Council of the Legion of Honor will celebrate the tenth anniversary of its institution on the evening of Friday, December 11th, with an invitation ball and supper at Reiser's Hall. The council is in flourishing condition, and the ball promises to be one of the events of the season. Harry the Fisherman was up from the Landing at break of day Monday, bringing anything but dismay to his friends in town. Harry always has a gay time when he comes to town. His friends are always glad to see him, as he treats them well when they get down to the Landing. Gus Davis is not a pumpkin roller (this is no joke), but he is the champion guesser at a pumpkin's weight in the country. He guessed 140 pounds at the 142-pound pumpkin that Harker received the other day. The highest guess was 240 pounds. Gus walks up head. The Buena Park starch factory started up operations yesterday. Steam power is used, and 3,000 pounds of potatoes are grated every hour. Next season the factory will contract for several hundred acres of spuds, which ought to be a pretty good thing for our farmers. The quality of starch turned out is said to be of a very superior quality. Our old friend Curtis was fined $10 by Squire Laudell Monday morning for disturbing Pete Huff and his little peace. If neither one had had had the other arrested they would have been $18 ahead. Mr. Curtis will spend a few days by sea waves at Long Beach, and will subsequently take a trip into the northern part of the State. Bon voyage. M. H. Cheeseman, the West End grocer, has been annoyed a great deal lately by a gang of mischievous boys, who continually growl around his place no good purpose. His store was broken into one night last week. The parties are known. It is probable that farmers will be made aware of this incident. Salva Edwardson brought in eleven coyote scalps from his ranch in Soquel county you yesterday. He made an affidavit concerning them before 'Squire Landoll,' as passed them over to the County Clork.

The case against Vicente Yorba, charged with tampering with the ditch at Yorba was dismissed by Judge Shaw in Los Angeles last week. The court had ordered measurement of the ditch, to determine capacity, and Vicente set a gang of men work to clean the ditch, and, as it charged, to increase its capacity. Mr.Yorba stated that he did not know of the order of court and meant no disrespect by his wife He said that water was scarce and that heided to clean the ditch to increase this was dismissed.

Here it lived happily for sometime until one night last week, when the bank caved in on account of the varmint's excavations, and then broke away to do the job up thoroughly. That gopher met a wet and watery grave. When Tim went out to look at his reservoir the next morning he found all the water had run out of it too. But the water escaped into the arroyo, and did no damage. The break has been repaired, now the reservoir is full again, the gopher is dead and Tim is happy. Crop Reports.
