THE WEEK'S RANDOM JOTS City Fathers in Solemn Conclave Assembled. The Bond Money is Here, and Has Been Appropriated to the Various Funds—The Work of Improvement to Begin at Once—A Mad Real Estate Man—Four Kings Always Heat Four Queens—Sugar Beets—Tim Carroll's Narrow Escape from Being Shot. The Board of City Trustees met in regular session yesterday afternoon, all members being present. The Clerk read the minutes of the last regular and special meetings, which after correction were approved. The Marshal reported having collected $342 24 for license and water during the month, which has been turned over into the Treasury. He has also collected $4,116 57 city taxes. The Finance Committee reported that the books of the Clerk, Marshal and Treasurer had been examined and were found to be correct. The Committee on Public Improvements reported on condition of bridges and culverts, recommending alterations and improvements. The committee was instructed to repair the bridge on Sycamore street, near Lemon, temporarily. The matter of the maintenance of bridges by the city or water company was referred to the attorney for an opinion, to be submitted at the next meeting. The special committee reported on the sale of $15,000 of the city bonds. The bonds had been sold pursuant to instructions. The amount realized from the bonds, which were disposed of at 90 cents on the dollar, is $13,482 50, including $282 50 accrued interest. A commission of $300 was paid. At 90 cents the bonds bring $13,500, which less the commission, leaves a balance of $13-200. This added to the amount of accrued interest stated above, makes $13,482 50, the amount turned into the bank. The commission of $300 amounts to two per cent, which would make the bonds practically not the city cents. The report of the committee was received and placed on file, and the committee discharged. The following funds were organized and means, but he insists that he plays the game up to the handle, from way back. The kid, who is said to be only 18 or 19 years of age, sized up the sport, saw that he played "like the Watson's," and made up his mind to "do" him, as they say in the game. The cards were dealt around, and the sandwash sport considered himself in luck to get four queens. After all the beans were up, the sport bet a dollar, and as soon as the kid called him, he began to rake down the "pot," laying down the queens, saying: "You bet your life I'm not here for my health; I play the game, and am out for the stuff every time." The kid looked at him in astonishment—dumb with pent-up mirth, as it were. "Hold on!" he said, "those typewriters are no good. Here's four kings." And sure enough he had them. The sports' facial expressions were a study. He unhitched his fingers, and allowed the money to remain on the table. "I said they were good," he stammered after a while, scratching his head. The kid raked down the money, the others laughed, and the sport said he had an important business engagement out of town, and he left. But why didn't he bet more than a dollar on four queens, and why didn't the kid raise him? It was all the money he had, and the kid didn't know whether he had worked the combination properly. There were four acres in that deck not very far away. But the kid will make his mark one of these days. Sugar Beets. A large and enthusiastic meeting of farmers was held at the new schoolhouse at Garden Grove Tuesday afternoon to hear Mr. F. J. Capitain of Los Angeles explain the co-operative plan of establishing a sugar factory. Great interest was taken in the matter, and another meeting will be held at the same place Saturday evening to consider the subject further. It is stated that the Grove section will guarantee to plant two thousand acres of beets if the factory should be started. Next Wednesday afternoon, December 2d, at 2 o'clock a general meeting of people from the entire countryside will be held at Krooger's Hall. The co-operative company will be inaugurated at that time, and the proposition placed upon a business basis. A cordial invitation is extended to the people of the valley to attend. Mr. Capitain says we have the finest location for a sugar factory that he has seen in Southern California. Garden Grove will plant two thousand acres of beets, and only a thousand acres more are necessary to start the enterprise. Come out, everybody, and attend the meeting. The City Bonds.

They are telling a good story about one of our rustling real estate men whose well-laid plans were set at naught by an outsider a day or two ago in a not accountable way. The story proves that the best-laid plans of mice and men sometimes prove that it is the same thing over again. The real-estate man had piloted a tenderfoot all the way down from Los Angeles to sell him a piece of property here. The newcomer had heard a great deal of Anaheim, and his heart was set upon owning an orchard down this way. The real-estate man, with a first-class business instinct, had paid the newcomer's fare down on the S.P., and on arriving at the depot, so the story goes, in order to keep the newcomer free from the entangling alliances of the other rustling real estate man in town, refrained from fetching him up from the depot, and asked him to wait there for him until he came up town on the street car and got his horse and buggy, when they would take a spin over the country and take a look at the available orchard sites in this neighborhood. The newcomer promised to wait and the real estate man came up town for his horse and buggy, but when he returned to the depot he found that his man was not in sight. It so happened that when the real estate man boarded the street car to come up town, a bystander who had himself a very fine piece of property to sell, aspired the newcomer, and thinking he might make a trade with him, accosted him, putting to him the usual inquiries in such cases made and provided. He learned that the newcomer wanted to buy land, and told him of his piece of property—that was dirt cheap, and which would probably suit his requirements like the entire countryside will be held at Kroeger's Hall. The co-operative company will be inaugurated at that time, and the preposition placed upon a business basis. A cordial invitation is extended to the people of the valley to attend. Mr. Capitain says we have the finest location for a sugar factory that he has seen in Southern California. Garden Grove will plant two thousand acres of beets, and only a thousand acres more are necessary to start the enterprise. Come out, everybody, and attend the meeting. The City Bonds. EDITOR GAZETTE.—As a number of our citizens and taxpayers do not seem to understand the situation in regard to the sale of the city's bonds and a few have "kicked" considerably at the action of the board in selling them at 90 cents on the dollar, claiming that it is a ruinous discount, it is but fair and just to fully explain the position of our board in relation to the matter and show all concerned that so far from saddling our city with a heavy debt at a ruinous rate of interest, it will actually cost the city less than seven and one-third per cent interest with the bonds counted at par. First—It is only after active efforts of the board for several months, with the co-operation of the leading bond brokers in Los Angeles and other cities, who were in constant correspondence with capitalists in San Francisco and leading Eastern cities; after receiving the assurance of leading bankers and brokers that the bonds could not be sold at a better rate than 90 cents, coupled with their advice to sell at that figure; and after due discussion and deliberation on the matter, that our board at a special meeting on last Friday voted unanimously to accept the 90-count proposition—the only one, be it understood, that the board had, and that one was instructed to be withdrawn if not accepted on that day. It may also be stated that the main point of undesirability of the bonds is the fact that the law of the State requires the redemption of one-twentieth of the indebtedness each year, or $750. This fact, coupled with the low rate of interest (6 per cent) makes them a very undesirable investment for capitalists, who will be required to surrender $750 worth of the bonds each year, and it is almost impossible to reinvest such small amounts to advantage. Second—There was absolutely no expectation—nor even hope—that the bonds would bring a bitter price in one, two or six months more. In the mean time, our city water works are in a dangerous condition—not only threatening to collapse and thus lose the hundreds of dollars already spent on them, but are even dangerous to life and joining property. Our streets are mostly in a disgraceful condition, and now before the winter rains set in, is the time to make improvements that will last and not necessitate the expenditure of hundreds of dollars yearly to keep them in questionable repair. Our fire apparatus is in an almost useless condition, rendering no protection in case of a fire and costing our citizens hundreds of dollars annually in the way of high insurance rates. The amount of money paid by our city for rent of offices, etc., would pay big interest on a larger sum than is proposed to spend in the erection of a City Hall that will be an ornament and a permanent improvement to our city. Nearly every city of the size of Anaheim on the coast has better quarters than we have at the present time. Third—Many persons suppose that owing to the discount at which the bonds were sold, there will be a deficiency in the various before he went, and tinned to his address couldn't get along family journal.

The newcomer promised to wait and the real estate man came up town for his horse and buggy, but when he returned to the depot he found that his man was not in sight. It so happened that when the real estate man boarded the street car to come up town, a bystander, who had himself a very fine piece of property to sell, espied the newcomer, and thinking he might make a trade with him, accosted him, putting to him the usual inquiries in such cases made and provided. He learned that the newcomer wanted to buy land, and told him of his piece of property—that was dirt cheap, and which would probably suit his requirements like the paper on the wall. In a very short time the two were seated in a buggy, riding over to see the tract. When it was reached it suited the newcomer precisely, and he bought it. The two drove into town, a deed was made out and the trade was consummated. In the mean time the real estate man was "chasing" over the country looking for his man, and they say that when he found him and learned that he had purchased from the other man, he was just about fighting mad. In future he will be more careful. He will have his horse and buggy waiting for him at the depot, or travel on the other road. But there was a mad real estate man in town that day. Four Kings Win. We heard a good one the other day on a certain sport who lives across the sandwash—we won't say he lives in Fullerton—that is too good to keep. He professes to be a great poker player, and has himself said he will play the game with any one, bar none, for money, marbles or refreshments. But he went to grass last week. It happened like this: The hydraulic well down on the Alamitos had something the matter with it—the machinery was out of gear, and the workmen had to send to Los Angeles for a man to fix it up. The man sent down was a youth who goes by the name of "the scarf-faced kid." He is a professional well borer, and is quite handy with the cards. He fixed the machinery all right, and strolled into town to see the sights, and before he knew it had sat himself down to a quist game of draw in a down-town resort. A bystander who watched the kid said after it was all over: "Oh, say, but he's a good one." Pretty soon our friend across the sandwash strolled in, sized up the game, and asked if he might be permitted to take a hand. Certainly. And so he took a stack of chips and started in to play. Cardman says he plays like a "duffer," whatever that Third—Many persons suppose that owing to the discount at which the bonds were sold, there will be a deficiency in the various funds for the public improvements voted upon. That is a mistake. The law requires that the bonds shall be sold at par, or rather, shall realize a par value. There is exactly $15,000 to the credit of the bond fund. The discount and commission will be paid out of tax money formerly used for the streets, water works, rent and other expenses, as these funds are now provided for in the general bond fund. As soon as the City Hall is erected, there will be no more rent to pay. When the new water works are finished there will not be a monthly repair bill to foot. When the streets are once put in first-class shape, the expense to keep them so will be but trifling. Fourth—Let any mathematician figure out what the bonds will cost the city for twenty years. The interest on the first $750 to be redeemed next year will be $45; in 1893 the next $750 will have two years' interest, or $90, and so on. Add $45 each year and the total interest (at 6 per cent) for the 20 years, will amount exactly to $9,450. The 10 per cent discount on the bonds is $1,500. This sum is exactly 1-6.3 of $9,450, or a little over one per cent interest more, making the total cost of the bonds to our city a little over 7 per cent interest, including the discount. Can the city borrow money on their note at this rate? Can any of the "kickers" advise the board where they can do better, and how? Everything points to a larger immigration to Southern California this winter than ever before. Anaheim must show strangers and intending settlers that she is not sleeping while her neighbors are awake and active and competing for their share of the coming prosperity. Now, and not "in the dim future," is the time to act. While those who will hesitate and deliberate, and thus allow brilliant opportunities to slip from their grasp, the more decisive and enterprising will eagerly grasp these opportunities and profit by them.

We want him here to help us entertain the Terminal Railway people. Uncle John Bush left on Tuesday for his home in Bakersfield. He called in to see us before he went, and ordered the paper continued to his address, as before. Uncle John couldn't get along very well without this family home. W. H.

Mr. Skethelley is a brother of Dr. Skethelley of esthich fame, whom our readers will pleasurably remember. He reports hunting and fishing good at the Landing, and it would not surprise us much to see him lease here permanently. Both gentlemen were in town on Tuesday, having just come up from the Landing. Serious Accident. A serious accident happened on Saturday evening on the Placentia road, just this side of the sandwash, to W. M. McFadden and Ben Kraemer as they were driving home. Both were traveling at a rapid gait, when suddenly one of the wheels of Mr. McFadden's buggy broke down, overturning the vehicle, and precipitating him violently to the ground. The horses at once started to run and a few rods ahead collided with Ben's rig, overturning it and throwing him into a bunch of cactus by the readside. Ben's mule stopped, while Mao's steam struck out on a bee-line for home. At first Mr. McFadden feared he had broken his arm, but soon found that, apart from a very severe shaking up, he was all right, and he then gave his attention to extirpating Ben from his uncomfortable position in the cactus. This he succeeded in doing, when it was found that Ben was covered from head to foot with the thorns. Seon after, Mr. McFadden's son, the runaway team having rescheduled home and apprised him of an accident to his father, arrived upon the scene, and lent his assistance to setting matters right. Ben was conveyed to Leonard Parker's place, where he removed his clothing, donned other clothes and came into town. He went to the Commercial Hotel, and sent for Dr. Hardin. The Doctor spent an hour in pulling out the "stickers," after which Ben procured a new suit of clothes and went home. The Rainfall. Editor Gazette.

The City Fathers met in special session last Friday and decided to sell the city bonds, through R.G.Lunt of Los Angeles, for 90 cents on the dollar, and agreed to pay him $300 for making the sale. This leaves the city $13,200 out of the original $15,000 issued, and is equivalent to selling the bonds at 88 cents.

A meeting of St. Michael's Guild was held at Mrs. Eust's residence on Wednesday last when Ms. Scott was elected Vice President and Mrs.Bulger Treasurer. Carpentors have been scarce and hard to get during the week. They are all at work, which shows they are steadily improving. There are few title carpenters in town. Clarence Groat is putting up a house for the Hill boys on the La Habra. Arthur Lewis has temporarily forsaken the livery business and is working with him. Services will be held at the Presbyterian Church next Sunday afternoon at half past two by Rev J.Kogler of Orange. German Lutherans are cordially invited to attend. The Hill boys have rented 1,800 acres of land on the La Habra, and will seed the entire tract to burry. They are putting up a house to be used during the seeding season. Remember the Wilkie Operetta Company at the oper-house next Tuesday evening. They are well recommended, and Manager Pellegrin promises us a first-class show. Carpentor Larsen is putting up a barn 40x80 feet for Col.Northam on his tract of land at La Habra. An artesian well is also being sunk on the tract, and is down about a hundred feet. Oscar Luedke repaired the editorial watch one day last week. He said the main spring was rusted. We don't understand how this could be, as the watch was never in soak. But it's running all right now. A seissors' grinder with a bell and tin whistle racked the ears of us one day last week. These fellows must give us better music or we shall have to pass an ordinance against them. Landlord Helmsen is raking in the sheeckels by the bagfelt with his "grab bag," quoted at a nickel a grab. The landlord gets early in the morning, and is breaking the record bringing in new subscribers for us. He's all right.

this time last year a great deal of rain had fallen." Are you not mistaken? Both Mr. Langenberger's and my own record of last year showed the following rainfall for the season: September 28, 1890. 13 of an inch. November 7. 24 December 4. 22 January 5, 1901. 10 February 1. 11 March 1. 16 April 7. 23 Total for total is 13,03 inches. Very respectfully, KENYON COX. Long Beach, November 20, 1891. [We cannot understand how we made the mistake, except that it was in the hurry of getting to press. We are under obligations to Mr. Cox for his kindness in directing our attention to the matter. We are glad to have so observant a reader.] Fanny Davenport Buys a Home Near Modjeska's. Fanny Davenport, the celebrated actress, has purchased 380 acres of land in the Santiago canyon, and will soon consummate the transaction by a deed. She means to build a large ranch home on the property, establish game preserves and immense poultry yards and barns. Miss Davenport has long wished to have a permanent home in Southern California, and in making this her abiding place she will carry into effect many unique ideas she has for a perfect ranch house, where she and her husband may entertain their friends similarly to the hospitality shown among the aristocracy in rural England. The spot chosen for the ranch is famous for its very secluded location, its rugged land, picturesque scenery, abundance of game and trout and occasional deer. It is reported that Miss Davenport will probably spend at least $80,000 on the property. The land is but seven miles from Mme. Modjeska's ranch home in Santiago canyon, which Miss Davenport and her husband visited three years ago. It is thought that the memory of that visit to Mme. Modjeska decided Miss Davenport to have a similar residence. Buy and recommend Farmera' Healing Liniment because it is a genuine healing remedy. For sale by W.M. Higgins, drug-gist, Anaheim, Cal. The City Fathers met in special session last Friday and decided to sell the city bonds, through R.G. Lunt of Los Angeles, for 90 cents on the dollar, and agreed to pay him $300 for making the sale. This leaves the city $13,200 out of the original $15,000 issued, and is equivalent to selling the bonds at 88 cents. Hugo Wetzol's little daughter died of typhus on Friday last, and was buried on Saturday. She was aged one year and two days. The family have the sympathy of their friends in their sad bereavement. Mr. Wetzol's little boy is also down with the disease, but it is hoped he will recover. A newspaper man, who evidently believes in tolling things just as they are says: "Do not swear. There is no occasion to swear outside of a printing office. It is useful in proof-reading; it is indispensable in getting forms to press, and has been known to assist in looking over the paper after it is printed, but otherwise it is a very disgusting habit." Our friend Patterson entertained a select coterie of his bachelor friends at his country seat Saturday night. A couple of fine broilers grinned under the weight of good things, were what the "bacha" proceeded to despatch in short order. Then Havanas were lit, and the jovial party gossiped about the wind and the weather and the news of the day. At a late hour the party dispersed, every one declaring that Patterson is the prince of entertainers. Our friend Oman, who edits the semi-phone down below town, tells us he was completely overrun with visitors last week, all on account of our saying that he was lonely since his wife went away visiting. He had seven callers in one week. Colonel Polhemus of Miraflores among the number. The Colonel drove across the fields to see him as soon as he learned he was so lonely, and he made things lively while he stayed. Oman is fixed up for more visitors—he has "shot" his side whiskers, and you'd hardly know him. While Ned McPherson, the eighteen-year-old son of Robert McPherson of McPherson, was out on Newport bay Saturday morning with two other boys duck hunting. A cream of tartar baking powder.
