EPITOME OF THE NEWS. Statement of Affairs in the Water Company. Report of the Board of Audit The Company's Finances - The Sugar Refinery Over Three Thousand and Shares Subscribed, and Work Ready to Begin Company Target Practice Children's Masquerade At the meeting of the Board of Directors of the Anaheim Water Company last Saturday the following report was formulated for presentation to the stockholders. Appended to the report will be found the report of the Board of Audit on the financial condition of the company during the year. To the stockholders of the Anaheim Union Water Company: We, your Directors for the past year, beg leave to report the following to you as a statement of our official acts: The Auditing Committee last year reported the books badly kept, and much irregularity, all of which was too true. There had been no books posted for several months, the Stock Ledger was in a jumbled condition, requiring much care and labor to get it straightened out. Some stock had been issued for which the company had received no compensation. Finding the former Secretary short in his accounts for a considerable sum we pushed him for it and in settlement he turned ever to the company $610.35. A note for $1000, in favor of F. Beckman was presented to the company, of which we had no record or knowledge, nor any evidence that the company received the money. We took legal proceedings against the ex-Secretary and his bendsmen to recover the amount. Every technicality known to the law has been resorted to, to defeat justice. The suit is still pending. We entered into a legal contract dated July 27th, 1891, with the Directors of the irrigation district agreeable to instructions given at the last annual meeting, and at the special meeting held May 23rd, 1891, to accept $150,000 in cash or its equivalent in bonds, when they have spent $100,000 in improvements. In accordance with the provisions of this contract, we have made three fills where rotten flumes before existed, protecting the work from winter storms by overshrines. The work of these fills has been made in a substantial and satisfactory manner. The cost of this work will be charged to the son there is an abundance of water in the river; and WHEREAS, It is wise to induce stockholders to use water for hay and grain, and to wet their orchards early and late in the season, and to make the demand for water as light as possible in the season of scarcity, especially in July. Therefore, be it Resolved, That we adopt the following schedule of prices for water during the year: For February, at the rate of 20 cents per hour for 100 inches; March, 30 cents; April, 40 cents; May, 50 cents; June, 60 cents; July, 70 cents; August, 60 cents; September, 50 cents; October, 40 cents; November, 30 cents; December, 20 cents; January, 10 cents. Be it further resolved, That the following regulations be adopted for the delivery of water: (1.) That at present, 30 minutes of 100 inches will be given to each share, the time limit to be charged as demand and supply will warrant, so as to arrange the runs of the desired length. (2.) For the present there will be two runs each month, beginning on the 1st and the 14th, and any part of a run not completed at the end of any mouth will be charged for at the rate in force when the run commenced; and any run commenced before the beginning of a month by reason of the former run having been completed before the end of the month, will be charged for at the rate of the following month. (3.) Night water will be charged at three-fifths (3/5) of the day rate. The Sugar Factory. During the week the sugar factory agitation has quipped down somewhat. The necessary number of shares have been subscribed, and past enthusiasm has given way to more weight considerations of business. The necessary number of shares was secured on Saturday afternoon, when, after the list had gradually approached the necessary amount, Mr. Kruegher stepped up and increased his subscription by ten shares, making the total 3,001 shares. Then there was an outburst of cheering that lasted some time. Hats were thrown in the air, everybody felt that the first great step in the establishment of the refinery had been accomplished. Soon another subscription of five shares came in, and then others, and during the week there has been a gradual accession of stock. The Advisory Committee were in session all of Saturday afternoon discussing the by-laws of the corporation, which had been prepared by General Pierce. They resolved to increase the capital stock from $375,000 to $500,000, adding one thousand shares, the latter to be held as a treasury reserve. The Advisory Committee were in session all of yesterday afternoon discussing the by-laws and other matters connected with the organization. It had been expected that the representatives Alice Bates—Old world Adela Moseman—Fisamtha at Sarate Topsy; Regina Classes—Old Maid; Pauline Bessio Schubert—Mo James and Adela Heimann—Japanese Flower Girl. Mr. Weglein Alwu Mr. and Mrs. J.J.W arrived in Anaheim on evening.

In accordance with the provisions of this contract, we have made three fills where rotten flumes before existed, protecting the work from winter storms by overheating. The work of these fills has been made in a substantial and satisfactory manner. The cost of this work will be charged to the district, and will be added to the purchase price when the transfer is made. A luisce gate, or relief gate, with sufficient fall from it to discharge the accumulated sand near the head of the upper ditch has been a necessity ever since the ditch was made. A suitable location has been selected; lumber is on the ground, and the work will shortly be completed. Flume 4 near the residence of Mrs. Prudendio Yorba is in a dangerous condition and a new structure of either a siphon pipe or a steel flume is now a necessity and has had our attention, although no work has been ordered done yet. Flumen 9, 10, 11, 12 and 13 are all low and short flumes that are in bad condition; and we would recommend to our successors that these flumes be replaced with fills as soon as possible. When that work is completed but three flumes will remain out of the original fourteen. Your Directors were unable to make amiable arrangements with the Yorbas about the division of the water. The matter was taken to court, an injunction was asked far, which was granted, the order restraining the Yorbas to a limit of 200 inches of water, and requiring our company to carry their water through our ditches and deliver it into theirs; this will be a saving of at least 200 inches to us. The suit for a permanent settlement of these disputes is still pending and may come up at any time.

Respectfully submitted. ALEX WRIGHT, M. NEHELUNG, THOMAS STRAIN. Water Rates During the Year. At a meeting of the Board of Directors of the water company on Tuesday, the following resolutions were adopted: WHEREAS, During the continued dry sea- Mr. Weglein Always Brings Rain. Mr. and Mrs. J. J. Weglein of San Francisco arrived in Anaheim on a visit last Friday evening. They left Sunday morning for a trip to Corigado, and returned on Tuesday. They will return to San Francisco to-day. Mr. Weglein, who is as well known as large property holder here, is highly pleased at the prospect for establishing the sugar factory and is taking great interest in the enterprise. He has had beets planted here before, and knows just what the soil is capable of producing. A couple of years ago he sent down some best seed to be planted as a test. He had been told by Spreckels, who had sent a man here to look the country over; that Anaheim had the best sugar producing soil in the country. The sood was planted, and when the beets matured they were sent to Mr. Weglein at San Francisco. He sent some of them to Spreckels and some to the Alvarado refinery to be analyzed. Both chemists, neither one of whom knew the other was polarizing the beets, informed him that the beets had not been properly cared for, and that they ought to go three per cent higher in the analysis. However, one lot polarized twelve and a half per cent and the other thirteen and a half per cent. That settled the question with Mr. Weglein as to whether we could produce beets. One agreeable feature of Mr. Weglein's visits is that, no matter how dry the season may be, or how bad the forecast of the weather, he always brings rain. Some years ago, when everybody was propheying a dry season and a bad year, he came down, and we believe we had about four inches of rain in one night. All that was necessary to bring the rain this year was to have our distinguished San Francisco friend come down to see us, and here is the rain. The fact that Mrs. Weglein accompanied him on his trip is looked upon as indicating that we shall have an especially wet year. The Annual Meeting. No quorum was present at the annual meeting of stockholders in the water company last Saturday, and the meeting went over to Saturday next, the day upon which, according to the by-laws, it should in the first place have been called. The by-laws provide that the annual meeting shall be held on the last Saturday in January in each year. In recent years the meeting has been held on the fourth Klemigkeiten. - The Glorious Rain! - The young ladies are forming a Leap Year Club.

The invitations say there will be lots to eat and drink and a jolly good time. - Alexander Henry showed us an analysis of some beets yesterday afternoon that is simply out of sight. He made the analysis himself, and the beets went twenty-one and a half per cent of sugar. There never were such beets on earth. There is no doubt that as a sugar producing country we are clean out of sight. PERSONAL MELANGE. Harry Jeassen of Santa Ana was over to see us on Monday. District Attorney Sanborn was in town last Saturday. Dr. Hunt is confined to his home with a severe attack of the grip. E.K. Collins is suffering with rheumatism in his foot. Gout coming on, E.K?. Mrs. Hartung entertained a number of her friends at tea last Wednesday afternoon. K.G. Malcolmson of Los Angeles was in town on Monday, the guest of J.W.Patterson. Mr. Pullen continues very low with asthma, and slight hopes are entertained for his recovery. Mr. Whitaker of Buena Park leaves in a few days for Chicago, to be gone for a couple of weeks. P.W.Johnson and "Billy" Slack of All hambra are rusticating at the Landing for a few weeks. W.R.Bentley of Westminster was up to see us the other day. He informs us there are still no cases of grip "on the peat." Mr.Fowler came up from San Diego on Saturday to see how the sugar factory was getting along, and returned to his home on the Annual Meeting. No quorum was present at the annual meeting of stockholders in the water company last Saturday, and the meeting went over to Saturday next, the day upon which, according to the by-laws, it should be the first place have been called. The by-laws provide that the annual meeting shall be held on the last Saturday in January in each year. In recent years the meeting has been held on the fourth Saturday of the month, and the meeting was called this year under that president. But as the present mouth has five Saturdays in it, last Saturday was not the last Saturday—as it were—the month, and to conform to the by-laws the meeting went over to next Saturday. Besides, no business could be done on account of there being no quorum present. It takes over 3,400 vets to make a quorum, and there were only 191 votes prescue—the smallest number ever rounded up at an annual meeting. One or two gentlemen who are reported to have had enough proxies in their inside pocket to elect them to the directorate will have to try again. Meantime the old Board of Directors hold over until their successors are elected and qualified. Denth of T. P. Hinde. News was received on Monday of the death of Thomas P. Hinde, formerly of Anaheim, at his home in Eastbourne, Darlington, England, on Monday, December 28th. Deceased was well known to a large circle of our people, among whom he was held in high esteem. He was a member of the local lodge of United Workmen, and his family is thus entitled to receive the $2,000 insurance on his life. From the Yorkshire Post of December 30th we take the following extract regarding deceased: The death is announced of Mr. Thomas P. Hinde, of the National Brewery, Darlington, which took place on Monday night. Mr. Hinde has had a somewhat adventurous career. He was a native of Darlington, and as a young man went to New Zealand, where he joined the army in connection with the commissariat service during the Maori war. He subsequently returned to England, and commenced brewing with his brother, who has also been engaged in connection with military service in New Zealand. After remaining some years in England he emigrated to California from considerations of health, and there was engaged in grape culture and wine making. He returned to England about seven years since, and again took up the brewery with which he had been formerly connected. Mr. Hinde, although he took no active part in public matters, was a great advocate of Fair Trade, and his contributions to the local papers on this subject have been frequent until the decline of his health, which occurred in the early part of the present year. Mr. Hinde was about 58 years of age. PEACH VELLOWS. A Warning to Fruit Growers—Danger of Introduction to California-Warning to Intending Purchaser. By B. M. Lelong, Secretary of the State Board of Horticulture. WHEREAS We are informed that some nurserymen, through the scarcity of peach stocks for budding prunes, have contracted state or Martin Bernartz, deceased. The administrator's sale is advertised elsewhere in our columns this morning. Mr. Garwood yesterday forwarded Gen. Willey at New York papers in information of our irrigation district, for use by Eastern bond buyers. The papers were addressed to Gen. Willey in care of C. P. Huntington. List of unclaimed letters remaining in the Postoffice January 27th: Sr. Don Francisco Chavez Soto, Mr. Edens Crowe, John Etchlar, John Morris, Mrs. Sadie Olride, E. C. Ratston, Mr. Van Earl, Chaia Wright & Co. The town presented a lively appearance Monday night, what with a street fakir and his flaming torch, the brass band out discoursing martial music on the corner, the streets filled with people and everybody talking sugar factory. The weather prophets say the first heavy rainstorm of the season is due to arrive February 12th. They say there may be showers before that time, but the principal rain of the season will begin to fall on that date. What's the matter with the rain we are getting now. Secretary Lelong has sent a number of the newly imported red scale parasites to A. Gay Smith of Tustin, who has placed them upon infected orange trees in a couple of orchards in his neighborhood. It is said they are destroying the scale at a lively rate. It took the Westminster boys eleven innings to beat our boys at baseball Sunday, but they did it, 13 to 11. The Westminster lads may have hayseed in their hair, but they play ball. We also eat sauerkraut, but we play ball too. We must go them another. The Tennessee Jubilee Singers appeared to a fair sized audience at the opera-house on Monday night. The singing above the average, but the singers would appear to better advantage if they should discard their platform gestures in their more pretentious efforts. Mr. Woerner later purchased property near Fullerton, has gone to farming in earnest. He has purchased a fine span of horses, a bran new set of harness from Harker, and a wagon. He will set out an orchard and give some attention to sugar beets. Ah Fe is charged by Dr. Hardin with entering his barnyard with malicious intent and stealing eggs. Ah Fe will probably be given a benefit on the county chain gang for it. The officers have humanely allowed him his liberty until after the Chinese new year, which begins to-day. There was no quorum at the meeting of the City Trustees yesterday afternoon. Mr. Reiser was unwell, and Messrs. Littlefield and Pellegrine were in attendance upon the meeting of the Advisory Committee of the sugar factory. Only Trustees Witte and Schindler were present, and the meeting goes over to this afternoon at 2 o'clock. The Board of Directors of the irrigation district at their special meeting last Thursday resolved to relitraphage the bonds, and Directors Ryan and Crowther were appointed a committee to proceed to Los Angeles to interview the district's attorney firm upon the details of issuing the bonds in conformity with the late requirements of the law. The Santa Fe road yesterday adopted asthma, and slight hopes are entertained for his recovery. Mr. Whitaker of Buena Park leaves in a few days for Chicago, to be gone for a couple of weeks. P. W. Johnson and "Billy" Slack of All hambra are rusticating at the Landing for a few weeks. W. H. Bentley of Westminster was up to see us other day. He informs us there are still no cases of grip "on the peat." Mr. Fowler came up from San Diego on Saturday to see how the sugar factory was getting along, and returned to his home on Sunday, satisfied that everything was all right. Tom Hull of Santa Ana was in town on Tuesday, shaking hands with his many friends over this way, paying up his subscription and making himself generally agreeable. Call again, Tom. E. S. Wallace of Santa Ana, the Orange county correspondent of the Los Angeles Times, is seen upon our streets nearly every day now. Mr. Wallace is a capable and painstaking newspaper man, with a nose for news and a capacity to dish it up into English when he gets it. Frank Harris of Orange, well known among the baseball fraternity as one of crack amateur players of Southern California, will devote his time in future travel through the Southern States with an evangelist, and will assist at revival meeting with his cornet, his proficiency in the manlion pulation of which instrument entitles him to rank quite as highly among musicians as he now ranks among the ball players. White-Traverse. A dainty invitation all the way from San Francisco announces the approaching week of our old-time friend William J. Whittle to Sadie Agnes, daughter of Mrs. Hannah Traverse of 706 Lombard street. The happy event takes place on February 3d. Groom is a member of the staff of the San Francisco Examiner, and a better man never lived. We hold him in very high esteem having known him for a long term of years. We know that the bride has secured for her husband very best man in San Francisco—what we are satisfied she already believe—and we are sure our old friend has secure for his wife a lady every bit his peer. We are very sorry indeed we cannot attend the wedding—there in nothing on earth that we regret so much. But we send the happie our blessing.

Lelong, Secretary of the State Board of Horticulture. WHEREAS, We are informed that some nurserymen, through the scarcity of peach stocks for budding prunes, have contracted for large lots of Eastern peach stock for budding purposes for next season's delivery; and whereas, there is great danger of introducing into this State the Yellows, a deadly disease to the peach, on said roots, and on peach trees imported from the Eastern States; and while they may not have the disease in the localities where they get this stock, but we having no guarantee that the Eastern growers may not get trees grown in intested sections to supply California demands; therefore, be it Resolved, That we warn intending purchasers of the danger of getting trees infected with the Yellows and other tree diseases and pests not known in this State; and be it further Resolved, That we call the attention of all the Boards of County Horticultural Commissioners and Quarantine Guardians throughout the State to this danger, and urge the rigid enforcement of the law in all such cases.

The Board of Directors of the irrigation district at their special meeting last Thursday resolved to relitograph the bonds, and Directors Ryan and Crowther were appointed a committee to proceed to Los Angeles to interview the district's attorney firm upon the details of issuing the bonds in conformity with the late requirements of the law. The Santa Fe road yesterday adopted the new orange rate to all points East as far as Chicago. This is the 90-cent rate which was adopted by the Transcontinental Association on the 15th inst. The old rate was $1 25 to all points, including Missouri River points. The rate was 85 cents per box, while the new rate will be 63 cents per box, which is the biggest reduction made on freight for same time past. The Santa Ana salvationists have filed their quarterly balance sheet, showing them to have a dollar and a half on hand after the quarter's campaign. But this roseate financial statement isn't so roary when we see further along that they had to borrow three dollars to get through the campaign with. They are great financiers as well as soul savers. Mrs. F. A. Gates of Garden Grove, wife of F. A. Gates, formerly a resident here, died at her residence on Tuesday after a lingering illness of la gripe. Decased was well and favorably known by a large circle of friends who deplore her death. The family have the heartfelt condolence of all who know them in their great loss. We are pained to announce the death of Miss Nora Earl, a sister of Mrs. W. M. McFaddon of Placentia, at her home in Plymouth, Ohio, on the 13th instant.
