HAPPENINGS OF THE WEEK The Bankers Examine the Irrigation District. Delighted With What They See—What They Wanted to Know—they Will Undoubtedly Give Us A Good Send-off—City Fathers Assemble Again—Bag Social—Earthquake—Baseball. Last Thursday the committee of the State Bankers' Association, consisting of E. F. Spence of Los Angeles, Bryant Howard of San Diego, and M. W. Eddy of Santa Barbara, arrived in town for the purpose of examining into the irrigation district and investigating its resources with a view to recommending the district bonds to the favorable consideration of foreign money lenders. Most of the irrigation securities thus far sold in this State have been placed by individual effort abroad. All matters pertaining to the bonds are referred by the foreign bond buyer to the bankers' association of this State. It is with a view to furnishing information upon these points that the bankers' association, acting in conformity with the suggestion of the State Association of irrigation districts, have determined upon making a personal examination of districts with bonds to sell, and placing the result of their investigations at the disposal of the money lenders abroad. This will give the securities not only a more ready sale, but will probably serve to rate them higher in the money market. The State Association of bankers recently appointed the three gentlemen named as a committee to examine our irrigation district, and to report to the association in conformity to the foregoing facts. Their arrival here last Thursday was for that purpose. Messrs. Spence and Eldy came down on the 12 o'clock train from Los Angeles, and Mr. Howard arrived a half hour later on the San Diego express. They were met by Directors Kern, Ryan and Crowther, and by Mr. James and various other gentlemen. The party launched with Mr. James, and in the afternoon were driven over the district. The route lay north out of town to Placentia avenue, where the magnificent orchards of Messrs. Crowther, Gilman, McFadden, Pendleton, Tombes, French, Botwagner and others were visited, all of the groves eliciting many encomiums from the visitors. Colonel Tuffree's Rancho Buea Vista and the famed Olinda—both of them land as fine land barons in Central California fought the Wright Act in the Legislature and then in the courts, carrying their warriors to the Supreme Court. They were defeated by the people in every case, and now for two years they have been attempting to nullify the districts by interfering with the sale of their bonds. Compared to the placing of the bonds in face of this opposition on the part of these moneyed and large land-holding classes, our defeating them in the Legislature and in the courts has been nothing. It has been most difficult to place this class of securities, and all on account of this clamorous and revengeful opposition. But now that the bankers of the State have taken hold of the matter—are with us, so to speak—the beginning of the end of this opposition is at hand, and the large landowners will find that irrigation districts, devised for and by the people, are here to stay, and will realize also that they must support the district organizations along with the irrigator every time. Our district is the first to be examined, and the result is satisfactory, as indeed it could not otherwise have been. Now let us sell our bonds, and develop the district. We have the best district and the finest water-shed in the State. Let them be developed. Attempted Robbery. Burglar attempted to break open the safe at the Southern Pacific depot some time during Tuesday night, but were driven away before effecting their purpose. The door of the room in the rear of the office was broken in, and the burglars had succeeded in drilling a hole half an inch deep in the door of a safe, when they were probably surprised by the return of Albert Polhamus, Mr. Darling's assistant, who had been to see the minstrels, and returned home about half past 11. They then beat a retreat through the back door. Albert sleeps in the rear room, and when he entered found the outer door broken in and the room in confusion. He had returned with a companion and had gone to the hydrant outside the depot for a drink of water before entering the office, where a lamp is kept burning during the night. In his room everything was topy turey. His trunk was broken open, several articles of clothing were gone, and a pair of blankets and a comfort were taken from his bed. He immediately went to Mr. Darling's residence and notified him, and that gentleman went at once to the depot and began an investigation. He looked at the safe, and found the hole drilled into it. Outside the door that had been broken in fresh sulky tracks led away toward the south. A heavy fog had fallen, and the tracks were very plain. The contained $200 beside valuable papers. There is no clew, but therobbers evidently knew the premises and also must have known that the young man was away. They are evidently cracksmen of no mean order, and they knew the premises pretty well. Julius Schneider on Monday.

Spence and Eldy came down on the 12 o'clock train from Los Angeles, and Mr. Howard arrived a half hour later on the San Diego express. They were met by Directors Kern, Ryan and Crowther, and by Mr. James and various other gentlemen. The party lunched with Mr. James, and in the afternoon were driven over the district. The route lay north out of town to Placentia avenue, where the magnificent orchards of Messrs. Crowther, Gilman, McFadden, Pendleton, Tombes, French, Botaford, Wagner and others were visited, all of the groves eliciting many encomiums from the visitors. Colonel Tufree's Rancho Buena Vista and the famed Olinda—both of them land as fine outdoors—were also visited, and the rich possibilities of the soil pointed out. Returning, the route lay through Fullerton, and along Orangethorpe avenue, by the splendid places of Messrs. Stone, Schulte, Porter, Lovering, Lyon, Gardiner, Smith and others; thence southward to the famous Ryan orchard, and on to the big walnut orchard of Messrs. Powler, Jones, Culton and Minor below town. Thence the party were driven through the rich section between the walnut orchard and this city. The visitors expressed themselves as never having seen a better piece of country in all their travels, and to say that they were delighted with their trip is to express it mildly.

It was a cold and dreary day for our gilt-edged aggregation of ball players when they wended their way down to the classic shades behind Westmister and crossed bats with the peat land champions, all on last Monday afternoon. The peat landers wiped up the earth with the Long Beach club on Saturday before to tune of 5 to 3, and were flushed with victory. The Beach boys "played foxy" and brought down three professional players from Los Angeles-Darby,Leland and Smith,the battery and shortstop. But the Long Beachers weren't in it. When it came to Monday's game with our boys,holy sourkruft the peat landers were "away out of sight." The score was 22 to 9. For beaven's sake,and the cows got out! The peat landers are the champion ball players of the world,但the umpire gave our boys the jags end of the rawhide.The diagram is as follows,and the captain of the Anaheimers is in search of new material: ANAHIM R.O.WESTMINSTER R.O.KOERNER,LATB 1:28 MEFORD,C 1:3 BETTAS,A 2:2 MALLET,F,P 4:2 MACGOFF,p 3:3 MALLET,T,S 3:3 HARRIS,L,HARTIN,B 4:2 HALS,D4:2 MALLET,C,S 3:2 SROTDHEFF,r F 1:2 CHAMBERLAIN,L,F 3:2 ADAMS,D3b B 1:2 CARILLE,c F 1:5 WOMMER,c F 1:5 JAME,r F 3:3 CROWTHER,L.F 1:2 PENHALL,D3b 3 Total 927 Total 227 RUNS BY INNINGS CURES Anabime Westminster Umpire-Larter Scorer-Carlite Paper Bag Social, The paper bag social given at the Del Campo Monday evening by the Triple S social club was a largely attended and very enjoyable affair.

They will make their report to the State Association of Bankers at once, but it will probably be a few days before the report can be received by the district. There is no doubt, however, that the report will be entirely satisfactory to our people. The security offered by our district is considered superior to that of any irrigation district in the State. It was for this reason that our district was the first to be selected for examination. There is no question that, now that the State Bankers' Association have taken hold of this class of securities, they will meet with a more ready sale than heretofore. But for the fact that the irrigation districts have been fought all over the State by the large land-holding classes these bonds would have met with a ready sale long ago. But the Paper Bag Social. The paper bag social given at the Del Campo Monday evening by the Native Sons and Daughters, assisted by the Triple S social club, was a largely attended and very enjoyable affair. The hotel dining-room was filled with merry maskers in paper bags of various designs. After the grand march, bags and masks were cast aside, and dancing continued, to the strains of the Ramirez Bros.' string band, until a late hour. Freshments were served during the evening, and at a late hour the party dispersed. Among those present were Prof. and Mrs. Little, Mr. and Mrs. H. A. Dickel, Mr. and Mrs. Thomass, and Mrs. Everbarty, Mr. and Mrs. F. Riipan, Mrs. L. F. Lewis, Mr. and Mrs. E. J.

He is still enthusiastic over the prospects for the sugar factory. During Miss Parker’s illness her department at the school is being taught by Mrs. Cadman of Santa Ana. Williamson Dun of the Denver and Rio Grande Railroad, well known here, was in town yesterday in the interests of his road. Wm. Galer of the Los Angeles Express and Bob McGregor of the Herald were in town during the week, on business connected with their papers. J. W. Hart of Los Angeles was in town on a flying trip on Sunday. He is still in the piano business and is building up a very large trade. The names of Misses Bailey, Boege and Beckington were unintentionally omitted from the list of members of the Leap Year club printed last week. Deputy Sheriff Jim Buckley of Santa Ana was in to see us last Saturday. We always like to see Jim, especially when he fetches us over a fat legal ad. Gen. Pierce was in town from Garden Grove on Tuesday, a little bit used up with lumbago, but talking sugar factory with as much vim as ever. George R. Dresser of Winfield, Kansas, son of B. Dresser of Placentia, is here on a visit, and will remain probably a month or so. This is his first trip to California, and he is very much pleased with what he has already seen. Capt. Ferguson, after passing a week or ten days on his ranch at Artesia, came to town again on Tuesday and consumed the best part of the afternoon shaking hands with friends and renewing old acquaintances. Frank Landell, son of the Squire, one of Kleinigkeiten. —Did you feel the quake? —Last evening the weather looked like rain. —Coroner Ey reports business dull. He hasn't had a "case" in some time. —We acknowledge the receipt of a complimentary pass to the Citrus Fair. —the nights have been foggy during the week, the mist amounting to almost a rain. —R. D. Curtis, for many years a resident of this place, died at Long Beach Monday evening. —Roadmaster Norman has a gang of men grading the Santa Ana road between here and the bridge. —Mr. Porter began grading Los Angeles street yesterday. It will take him about a week to grade the street. —Mr. Perry went over to Santa Ana yesterday to attend the meeting of the County Board of Horticultural Commissioners. —Collector Witte is selling the delinquent property in the irrigation district. Nothing is certain in this world but death and taxes. —C. B. Crandall, recently from Norwalk, has been appointed nightwatchman, and has been vested with full power to run obstreperous people up. —There will be a special meeting of St. Michael's Guild at the residence of Mrs. Scott on Saturday, the 27th, at 2 o'clock. All are requested to be present. —the case of Hilmer vs. Kraemer et al was tried in the Superior Court at Santa Ana on Tuesday, and resulted in a verdict in favor of plantiff as prayed for and for costs. —Mr. Littlefield has had an offer of $80-000 for his orange orchard at Place芝士. The tract is one of the finest pieces of property in the State. As yet Mr. Littlefield is undecided to sell. —the Georgia Ministrels played to a large audience at the Opera-House Tuesday evening. The show was good, very much above the average. They carry a very fine brass band. —Read the advertisement of Stern & Goodman, the enterprising Fullerton merchants. They are having an immense slaughter sale and everything is being sold lower than ever. —the shaling and counters in Jase Hits imitation of the playing of Blind Tom, has blissfully imitated moving railroad trains, steam callope, musical boxes, banjo, harp and guitar, also his representation of the Battle of Gettsysburg, with the marching soldiers, lifes and drums, bugle calls, symonading, bands of music, sleigh-bell ringing, etc., are said to be wonderful. No one should miss this rare chance of hearing the gifted Texan. —a vicious dog on Adele street, between Lemon and Los Angeles, caused a bad run away last Monday, which terminated disastrously. Two gentlemen were driving by when the dog rushed out, frightening the horses, and starting them to run away. The vehicle was demolished, but the owner of the dog paid the damage. This causes Marshal Gade to announce that he will enforce the dog law. We have too many worthless canes here. —the oldest inhabitant declares that not for many years have such myriads of crowds been seen in these latitudes. Their noisy cawing overhead is reminiscent of the past, the oldest inhabitant says, for in the early days the crowds were very thick and very bothersome to the settlers. In late years they have not been seen here in any large number, but this year they have returned in thousands. What brings them it difficult to say, but the corn fields and peanut patches below town are alive with them. —Much of the imported German machinery at the Chino sugar factory, having been found to be worthless, is being taken out and replaced with new machinery of American make. Several times last year the old machinery demonstrated its inefficacy and the factory had to be shut down in consequence. It is quite safe to say that no more sugar machinery will ever be imported into country. We must have American machinery for the Anaheim factory. —Last Monday, Washington's Birthday was the forty-third anniversary of the departure of West Coast Mining and Trading Association, of which our well-known townsman Dr. Higgins was a member, from New York to San Francisco. The trials and vicissitudes the association passed through in the days of 49 would fill a large volume. The Doctor is, he believes, only surviving member of the expedition. He is getting along in years, but is still an haile and hearty as ever, and is good for many years of usefulness in this world. —the Sheriff's sale in the case of Tombes vs. Jonathan Kraemer takes place on Tuesday next March 1st. The sale begins at Kraemer's residence in Placentaia at 12 o'clock. Grove on Tuesday, a little bit used up with lumbage, but talking sugar factory with as much vim as ever. George R.

Ferguson, after passing a week or ten days on his ranch at Artesia, came to town again on Tuesday and consumed the best part of the afternoon shaking hands with friends and renewing old acquaintances. Frank Landell, son of the "Squire," one of the rattling type writers of this section, who has been on his father's ranch for some time, war in town on Tuesday to see the minstrels, and dropped in to see us. He has forsaken his type writer for the plow, and informs us crops are looking splendidly out his way. B. F. Feather and family, recently from Nebraska, were in town on a visit to Hank Steugh and family on Tuesday. This is Mr. Feather's first visit to California, and he is completely enraptured with our climate, our flowers and everything else. He may possibly locate in California, and if so will probably be a resident of Anaheim. Colonel Northam was forty-four years old last Thursday, and he celebrated his birthday with a dinner party at his residence in Los Angeles. During the evening he was presented with a very fine sword, studded with brillants. He was taken completely by surprise, but recovered his equanimity and responded with a neat speech. He is now in San Francisco, being measured for his uniform, and will turn out with it and the award the very first time the Governor turns out on parade. Chas. H. Farrell of the Los Angeles Chamber of Commerce was in town on Tuesday looking for ivy with which to decorate Hazard's Pavilion for the forthcoming Citrus Fair. When the management of the fair came to decorate the pavilion last Monday, they found there no ivy to be had in Los Angeles, and it was finally concluded to send Anaheim Ey. Farrell went the rounds of our flower gardens and was completely loaded down with the dainty plant. Wm. A. Irwin, a former resident of Anaheim, whom many of our citizens will pleasurably remember, dropped in to see us last Thursday afternoon after an absence of four years. "Billy" was chief engineer of the Anaheim, Olinda and Pomona Railroad of happy memory, and while he stayed with us made matters lively. Since leaving Anaheim he has been up in Montana, which he pronounces the best State in the Union. Soon after locating at Missouri he was elected County Surveyor for four years, his term of office extending until next Fall. He is down on a flying visit to look at some mining property in Arizona, and will return to the land of the chinook shortly. "Billy" is rattling good surveyor and clever boy, and richly deserves his success. City Fathers. The honorable the Board of City Trustees met in regular session yesterday afternoon. Present, Chairman Reiser and Trustees Littlefield, Witte, Pellegrin and Schindler. The Committee on Public Improvements reported progress on street work. The Clerk was instructed to notify Mr. Michel to remove obstructions from the street in front of his property on Center street. Mr. Littlefield has had an offer of $50,000 for his orange orchard at Placeia. The tract is one of the finest pieces of property in the State. As yet Mr. Littlefield is undecided to sell. The Georgia Ministrels played to a large audience at the Opera-House Tuesday evening. The show was good, very much above the average. They carry a very fine brass band. Read the advertisement of Stern & Goodman, the enterprising Fullerton merchant. They are having an immense slaughter sale and everything is being sold lower than ever. The shelving and counters in Issac Lyons' storeroom are being painted and oiled. The room presents a very handsome appearance, and when Mr. Lyons gets his stock in he will have one of the finest stores in the county. Monday was Washington's birthday, and was observed as a leag' holiday. The bank and postoffice were closed, and at the public school a programme appropriate to the occasion was rendered. Marshal Gade gives notice that on and after March 16th he will enforce the dog law. We must keep up with the procession, and all worthless canines prowling about the streets without visible means of support will be quietly removed. A young son of B. Flood of Newport was kicked to death by a horse one day last week. The lad was 7 years of age. Coroner Ey held an inquest on the remains. The verdict was to the effect that death ensued from accidental causes. Mr. Cahen informs us that there has been a horizontal reduction in telephone rates all along the line. You now talk with Santa Ana five minutes for twenty-five cents, and the same length of time with Los Angeles for five cents. A general reduction in rates is also in force to all stations on the line. The Ladies' Industrial Society of the Presbyterian Church met at the residence of Mrs. Grimshaw last Thursday afternoon and elected the following officers for the ensuing year: Mrs. Heald, President; Mrs. Hull and Mrs. Bancroft, Vice President; Miss Elise Abbert, Secretary; Mrs. Ey, Treasurer. The Triple S Social Club will give a "patch party" at the Del Campo on the evening of the 29th. Each participant is expected to appear with at least three patches in sight—it matters not how many patches are out of sight. The party will be under the auspices of the young ladies' Leap Year club, and promises to be a "out of sight" society affair. Leon Francois Chapelle, a native of France, aged 72 years, who had resided in Anaheim for a long term of years, died of apoplexy last Sunday morning and was buried on Monday. Some ten years or so ago he sold his possessions here and went back to France, but returned after an absence of about two years and invested again. For a long time past he had been confined to his bed with paralysis. He leaves a wife, but no children. The resignation of Capt. A. L. Lewis, Company G, Seventh Regiment, N. G.C., has been accepted at headquarters. The announcement will be read to the company at drill this evening, and an election to fill the vacancy will occur ten days thereafter. There are a number of the members of the company, well up in the tactics and soils bearing him would make excellent was the forty-third anniversary of the departure of the West Coast Mining and Trading Association, of which our well-known townman Dr. Higgins was a member from New York to San Francisco. The trial and vicissitudes the association passed through in the days of 41 would fill a large volume. The Doctor is, he believes, only survivor member of the expedition. He is getting along in years, but is still as hale and hearty as ever, and is good for many years of usefulness in this world. The Sheriff's sale in the case of Tombs vs Jonathan Kraemer takes place on Tuesday next, March 1st. The sale begins at Kraemer's residence in Placentia at 12 o'clock when a quantity of hay, about twenty tons, and a cart and piano will be disposed of. At 2 o'clock at the defendant's livery stable at Fullerton, the sale will be resumed when carriages, four buggies, six sets of harnesses, two spring wagons, one bus and eight wagons will be sold. The sale of the real estate in the above entitled case is set for March 19th. The advertisement will be found in another column.
