LATE NEWS OF THE WEEK. The Political Pot's Evidence of a Simmer. Random Notes on Politics—Who are Mentioned for the Offices—But There Are a Lot More to Hear From—Other Items—City Fathers Meet—Water Company Affairs—Personal Notes. The political pet is gradually acquiring a faint and subtle simmer. The political fagots burn low, but in some parts of the county there is an undercurrent of active discussion quietly going on that bids fair to start them burning soon and the pot to boiling in very fine shape indeed. Patriots who are carried away with the notion that it is insumbent upon them to immolate themselves upon the altar of public sacrifice are savoring around through the woods—on the quiet—eager to ascertain what their neighbors are after and arranging their affairs so that they might be in readiness, with their lamps trimmed and aburning, in case a bolt of political lightning should chance to riohochet down their way. To a close observer who will take the trouble to place his ear to the ground and listen, the simmer will manifest itself in a faint but not uncertain way. It is some months to the election, but the state is forming and the political pot is simmering. We elect a State Senator and Assemblyman this fall. We combine with San Bernardino in electing the former officer. We have nothing further to do with Los Angeles politically, not even being in her Congressional district. We believe both parties concede the nomination for State Senator to Orange county, although the San Bernardino Republicans have trotted out Scipio Craig, editor of the Redlands Citrograph, and Editor Holmes of the Riverside Press. Mr. Holmes declines to run, and Mr. Craig, if the distates of the party councils go for angst, will also be expected to step aside in favor of some one from this end of the district. In this county the names of several gentlemen have been mentioned in connection with the affiles. Prominent among them are Supervisor Armer of Orange, F. G. Ryan of Brookhurst, and Major McKelvey of Santa Ana. Supervisor Armer made a talling fight against the late lamented County High School job, and stands very well with the nation this week. A communication was received from the Santa Ana Water Company to the effect that a committee had been appointed to go up the river and inspect the diversion of water from above the head gate, and asking that a committee be appointed from this side of the river to accompany them. It appears that a news ditch has been constructed on the Jarupa Ranch, above Chine, and that water is being unlawfully diverted from the river. Directors Zayn and MoFadden were appointed to accompany the Santa Ana committee. They leave sometime during the coming week on their tour of investigation. Peter Henderson was elected Zanjere for the North Anasheim district. Mr. Starbuck of Fullerton appeared before the board and addressed them in reference to establishing a branch office of the company in Fullerton. He offered to act as Assistant Secretary for the consideration of $1. Action deferred until the next regular meeting. Adjourned. CITY SOLONS. WHAT THEY DID AT THEIR MEETING YESTERDAY AFTERNOON. The Board of City Trustees met in regular session yesterday afternoon. Present, Chairman Witte and Trustees Littlefield, Schindler, and Pellegrin. The minutes of the last regular and special meetings were read and after corrections were approved. The Marshal reported the collection of $344.86 for the use of water during the month, which had been turned over to the Treasurer. The Treasurer reported a balance of $6,-$36.28 on hand in bank in favor of the city. The Clerk read his quarterly statement of the finances of the city, from February 1st to May 1st, showing a balance of $6,041.42 in favor of the city; also his monthly report up to May 11th, tallying with figures above, except that he makes the amount on hand three cents less than the Treasurer. He also submitted his annual report, which will be published next week. All reports were referred to the Finance Committee. Adolph Rimpau appeared before the board and asked to be permitted to construct a ditch on Chestnut street and a wooden culvert across Palm street. Referred to the Committee on Public Improvements, the sense of the board being that the application should be granted provided the wooden culvert be changed to an asphaltum pipe. Arthur A. McCloughry, representing W. T. Y. Schenk of San Francisco, dealer in distribution of water, which after being amended were adopted. It was ordered that 500 copies of the same be printed.

In this county the names of several gentlemen have been mentioned in connection with the office. Prominent among them are Supervisor Armor of Orange, F. G. Ryan of Brookshurst, and Major McKelvey et Santa Ana. Supervisor Armer made a telling fight against the late lamented County High School job, and stands very well with the veterans of the county, as does each of the other gentlemen. Both Mr. Armor and Mr. Ryan are possessed of qualities to make a very strong run, and if either of them receives the nomination we shall have a very interesting campaign. The fight for the office San Bernardinowards will be made on county division and anti-division lines. This question over-shadows everything else in the big county, Riverside is going in for division and will bury any candidate who is not a division man. On the other hand San Bernardino will fight division, and will smother every candidate who is not against the dismemberment of the imperial county. The fight will be a hard one on either side, and for the time being political lines will be sent to the rear. For the Assembly we have, on the Republican side, Judge Ballard of Teutin, Major McKelvey, County Clerk Wickham and Parson McDill of the Santa Ana Herald. Mr. Smith declines to run again, having, so it is said, had quite enough of one season at Sacramento. This formidable array of talent has effectually frightened off the Democrat, and so far the party has not brought forward any candidate for the place. We shall doubtless have them with us later on. Judge Ballard and Major McKelvey, it is said, are also keeping an eye upon District Attorney Sanborn, and each of them might be prevailed upon to accept a nomination for the office if Sanborn should say he doesn't care for it. But at present it looks like Sanborn has the inside track for the nomination if he wants it. For County Clerk the dickey birds say Deputy Brook is on the list. Wickham gives way to Brook, and will make a try for Sacramento. Wickham is aiming high. For Treasurer Mansur will probably be randomized, and the same is true of Foster for Responder. Coroner Ey will try to knock the persimmon again, as will Auditor Adams and Tax Collector Porter. Sheiliff Lasy will probably be renominated by the Democrats, although it is rumored that George Bessonett and Marshal Nichols are doing a tall lot of thinking about the office. They may make a try for the nomination, but they will find Laoya a hard man to beat. On the Republican side for Sheriff Tom Hull's name has been mentioned. Tom would make a very strong run and be a hard man to boat. The Odd Fellows over this way have "get it in" for him, though, because Tom always paralyzes them when he attends their banquets. But Tom's appetite is failing. He was over here Tuesday night. Adolph Rimpau appeared before the board and asked to be permitted to construct a ditch on Chestnut street and a wooden culvert across Palm street. Referred to the Committee on Public Improvements, the sense of the board being that the application should be granted provided the wooden culvert be changed to an asphaltum pipe. Arthur A. MoClonghry, representing W. T. Y. Schenok of San Francisco, dealer in fire apparatus, appeared before the board in reference to putting in a chemical engine and other fire apparatus into our fire department. The matter was referred to the Committee on Public Improvements, to report at the next regular meeting. The Committee on Public Improvements reported that the new street scrapers were doing good work, but that the wood cutting machine was not a success, and had been returned. The streets are now in better condition than ever. Trustees Pellegrin, Littlefield and Schindler were appointed a committee to interview property owners on the south side of Center street and obtain deeds to property sidewalk purposes. The matter of putting in a culvert for Mr. Gates on the corner of Broadway and West streets was referred to Attorney Chynoweth for his opinion in the matter. The Ordinance Committee reported an ordinance amending the License Ordinance, relating to auction stores, places second-hand goods are sold, cheap-john cataballments, etc.; also an ordinance relating to enlarging the fire limits. Both went over, to be called up for passage at the next regular meeting. The ordinance granting a franchise to the W. U. Tel. Co., to maintain poles and wires in the city was called up and adopted. The Chairman of the board was authorized to purchase 20 feet of real estate from W. Bauer, adjoining the city jail, and was empowered to purchase ten feet additional if necessary. The agreement between Joseph des Granges and the city for boring a well at the water works was read and approved by the board and the President and Clerk were authorized to sign the same on behalf of the board. Bids to the amount of $293 31 were audited and ordered paid. The following bids for street sprinkling were opened: From H. A. Booge, offering to do the work for $2,090 per year for a term of three years, or for $1,960 per year for five years. From D. Hickox, offering to do the work at the rate of $1,800 per year for three years, or $1,700 per year for five years. From C. Wommer, at the rate of $2,-372 50 per year, payable monthly at the rate of $197 70 per month; and for every day that sprinkling is not done to make a reduction of $6 50 per day. From A. L. Lewis, at the rate of $2,555 per year for a term of three years. Consideration of the bids was deferred until the next regular meeting. Mr. Luadke appeared before the board in reference to placing his town clock in the tower of the City Hall. He offered to put in the clock and keep it in repair for five years at the rate of $10 per month. At the end of five years he would present it to the city. Or he would sell the clock to the city for $400. The matter was deferred until the next regular meeting.

The Odd Fellows members on Tuesday even in the second and third days were visited by a delegate brothen and after they were invited to an elegant Shoiff Leay will probably be renominated by the Democrats, although it is rumored that George Bessonst and Marshal Nichols are doing a tall lot of thinking about the office. They may make a try for the nomination, but they will find Laoya hard man to beat. On the Republican side for Sheriff Tom Hull's name has been mentioned. Tom would make a very strong run and be a hard man to boat. The Old Fellows over this way have "get it in" for him, though, because Tom always paralyzes them when he attends their banquets. But Tom's appetite is failing. He was over here Tuesday night, and he says his appoitite is failing fast. Judge Towner holds over for four years yet, and instead of campaigning this Fall he will have a chance to attend all the baseball games in the county. He is not giving the election a great deal of attention. Jako Ross and Prof. Grosley are also among the lucky ones. They are good for two years yet and will rest easy this campaign. The election will have no terrors for them. There will be no election for Supervisor in the county. The general law provides that Boards of Supervisors must draw lots for the long and short terms, so that elections shall occur every two years. The Orange county board failed to do this, because it was not so denominated in the Orange county bill, consequently we have no short-term Supervisors; they are all long-term men. But there may be one exception to this. If Mr. Littlefield's suit against Supervisor Schorn, which we believe has been appealed to the Supreme Court, shall be decided in favor of plaintiff, the term of the office will expire this Fall, and an election must be held to fill the vacancy. If, however, a decision is rendered in favor of defendant, Mr. Schorn will hold over for two years more. If no decision is had until after the election, and then should be decided that Mr. Littlefield is entitled to the seat, our Supervisor question will be somewhat muddled. But we can talk of this thing at some future time. Anaheim Water Company. The Board of Directors of the Anaheim Water Company met at their office on Saturday. The report of the committee appointed to investigate the charges preferred against Director Strain and the Superintendent and North Anaheim Zaugeros reported that they had been unable to find sufficient proof to justify the charges. The report was followed by an interesting discussion in which several parties took a hand. Mr. Wagner was charged $11.85 for excess of water delivered from April 14th to the 17th. Director Strain read the new rules for the While your correspondent has been long silent as to items from our neighborhood the residents have not been idle, but diligently at work cultivating, plowing and planting walnut trees. The growth of this tree hereabouts has been remarkable and visitors are very much surprised at the condition of our loamy soil, being so moist, easily worked and wonderful in its moisture-retaining power. In fact, it was this that caused a party of young business gentlemen of Los Angeles to purchase sighty acres of the Mirafa tract lying between the S. P. R. R. station and Anaheim. A passer-by-to-day is struck by the number of teams employed plowing and cleaning up the land, while a gang of men with George Dunn at their head is settling out walnut trees by the thousand. In all some three thousand walnut trees have been purchased and are being planted. Of course the usual howl will arise of "mad dog," "they won't live" and "too late," "too dry," but Mr. Off is at the helm and he has thoroughly posted himself on these matters by the experience of practical nurserymen and others who have made walnut trees a specialty. This will make a solid walnut orchard of 120 acres, while there is already out 220 acres more of trees, some of which are bearing. Not alone the walnut trees that flourish here may be seen, but any one wishing to see how the different deciduous trees grow and bear fruit can be accommodated by visiting the young orchard of H. D. Polhemus, now only two years old. Haying is fairly under way and over half a crop is being harvested. Among our visitors during the week was Mr. and Mrs. Vaughn of Los Angeles and Mr. Snell. Dr. Vaughan of Cambridge, Mass., who has a bearing walnut orchard here, was highly pleased and is thinking of increasing his acresage for the extension of his orchard. Miss Laura Hanna is remaining at the home of her parents here for a few days. The potato crop here is A No. I. Frost did no damage whatever. Corn never looked better, despite the shortness of the rain supply. Miraflores, May 10, 1892. E. P. Fowler has discharged orchard in Paradise Vine county, and will take up dence here.

Billy Manning, the pugilist, whose assault upon Capt. Wood is well known to all our readers, has been found guilty of an assault with intent to kill.

A valuable horse and buggy were stolen from Wilmington Sunday night, and it is supposed the thieves passed through town and took supper at Dunning's restaurant about 9 o'clock Monday night. They were tracked south of town, where the trail was lost. Officers are looking for them in all directions, and it is probable they will be apprehended. More horses are being stolen nowadays than for many years past. The Savings, Loan and Building Association hold their regular monthly meeting last Saturday evening, and issued a new series of stock, the fourth since the inception of the organization. The association is in a very flourishing condition, and is constantly receiving new members. Everybody who desires to save money and place it in a profitable investment should join the association. We are informed by an orange grower that much of the virtue of fumigating is lost if the cyanide is not of the proper consistency and that several parties as Orango have been deceived as to the merits of a certain kind of drug that was not found to be as represented. The Powers and Whitman cyanide is regarded as being the boast in the market, and our orange growers should be particular to call for that brand. After twelve years of litigation the celebrated suit of Gage vs. Downey has at last been settled, the Supreme Court having recently handed down a decision awarding the plaintiff, H. T. Gage, eleven hundred acres of land, as an undivided interest in the Warner Ranch in San Diego county, which has for years been in possession of ex-Governor Downey.

Godfrey and Van Valin, who are now in the East, to the effect that they are desirous of returning to Anaboim to start up the fruit dryer for this season's crop. The public schools of Santa Ana are said to be in a demoralized condition, and constantly getting worse. Many children have been withdrawn from school, and the teachers and Superintendent are coming in for their full share of the blame. A party of a dozen of our citizens go to China this morning on a visit. They will make a 'bus-load' will have plenty of lunch along, and intend to have a shockingly good time. They leave at 6:30 A.M., and will return this evening. Our friend Halpin is turning out a lovely "corp" of "torpedoes," where the envy of every chap in town is excited—the admiration, too, of all the ladies. Halpin will soon buy himself a place in our frostless orange belt and go to raising oranges. R. L. Cooke, the well-known San Bernardino well boror, is putting down an artesian well for Domingo Bastanohurry on his ranch at the foothills north of town. The well is down about 300 feet, and it is expected a good flow of water will be struck shortly. During the week our job office has turned out several thousand testimonial circulars for Mr. Rutledge's Morris Poultry Cure, the sale of which has attained very large proportions. The Cure is a great boon to poultry raisers, and Mr. Rutledge receives orders for it from all ever the United States. The Democratic County Convention met at Santa Ana on Saturday and elected the following delegates to the Fresno Convention: Joseph Yoch, D. M. Baker, L. Schorn, J. C. Maccabe and C. P. Devoe from the Supervisor districts, and Col. Mossmore and W. H. Spurgeon at large. E. P. Fowler has disposed of his orange orchard in Paradise Valley, San Diego county, and will take up his permanent residence here. The orchard contains fourteen acres and brought $35,000. Mr. Fowler will give considerable attention to the sugar refinery corporation, of which organization he is the efficient president. The Odd Fellowes initiated three new members on Tuesday evening and had work in the second and third degrees. The lodge was visited by a delegation of Santa Ana brethren and after the ceremonies all hands were invited to an elegant collation prepared After twelve years of litigation the celebrated suit of Gage vs. Downey has at last been settled, the Supreme Court having recently handed down a decision awarding the plaintiff, H. T. Gage, eleven hundred acres of land, as an undivided interest in the Warner Ranch in San Diego county, which has for years been in possession of ex-Governor Downey. The decision gives Mr. Gage property worth $100,000. Talking of dogs the other day, Marshal Steadman said that a few days ago he was very much surprised to see a large dog enter the butcher shop and make off with a quarter of pork which was lying on the block. The dog was chased a block or two and the meat taken away from him, and while Steadman was talking in the rear of the shop about the circumstance the dog entered the place again, seized a piece of beef, nearly a quarter of the carcass, and made away with it. Steadman says the dog did it "before his very eyes," but he will never do it again. The dog is dead now. An instance of "the one touch of Nature which makes the world akin" occurred in Centralia one day this week, when one of the late settlers being confined to his bed with sickness, and unable to have his work done, a baker's dozen of thirteen of his neighbors moved out with their teams; plowed and prepared his land and planted it with corn." There is luck in odd numbers," says Rory O'Moor," and the sleep of those thirteen honest farmers must have been sweet after that hard day's work for their sick neighbor. Southern California will this year gather the best orop of sugar beets she has ever had. From all localities comes the report that the rains have come at the right time and in sufficient quantities to insure the growth of the beets. At Chico between 4,000 and 5,000 acres have been planted to sugar beets, and they could scarcely be more flourishing than now. The farmers are all happy. The managers of the sugar refinery expect to begin operations about August 1st, and will have enough beets to run constantly for four or five months. Everybody is looking forward to excellent returns from their labor in the sugar-beet fields. Active warfare against the scale continues. Monday night Commissioner Perry had three men and ten tents at work fumigating the Rutledge orchard. One hundred and thirty trees were fumigated during the night. The work was continued on Tuesday night, and last night preparations were being perfected to fumigate the Schneider orchard, when eighten tents and eight men were pressed into service. The work of cleaning out the scale gears gayly on, and when the onslaught against the pest is over, we doubt if there will be a single live scale of any description in the valley. Charley Landell and "Cherokee" Walker went on a prospecting expedition to Lytle Creek last week and succeeded in having quite a happy time indoors. The first day out the rains came down in torrents and continued during the greater part of the expedition. They found shelter for themselves and their horses and report having had a jolly good deal. Mrs. P. James has been quite ill, we are sorry to say, for some time past, but her condition yesterday was somewhat improved. Sheriff Laoy was ever with the delegation of Santa Ana Odd Follows Tuesday evening. Laoy says that when he wants a good time he must come to Anabeim to get it. Sam Edwardson came down from Myrdland in Soquel canyon on Monday on business. Sam is getting better looking every day, and says things are flourishing up the canyon. Messrs. Sandilands and Halpin took a run down to Coronado last Saturday, returning on Monday. They both declare the big heatly knocks out anything they have "on the other side." S. T. Fuller of the Los Angeles Cracker Company was in town a day or two ago, traveling for his house. Mr. Fuller reports business picking up, and a small-sized boom straight ahead. Timo Lynch, Esq., is experting the books of the water company. He is the guest of Col. Tuffree temporarily, and contemplates taking up his permanent residence amongst us one of these days. County Treasurer Mansur was over from Santa Ana on Monday on a short business visit. The cares of office seem to rest very lightly upon him. He is investing in property over this way. L. R. Winans of Riverside, representing the Willamette Lumber Company of Redendo Beach, whose advertisement will be found in another column, was in town a day or two ago, and dropped in to see us. Mr. Winans reports the lumber business flourishing. Walter Eyman is down from San Francisco on a visit to his folks. He has been absent in the city for two years and a half, and comes home transformed into the full bloom of a good-looking city chap. He returns to the north to-morrow and leaves shortly on a visit-to relatives in Germany. The Rev. R. S. Badger has gone to Santa Barbara for a two or three weeks' vacation. His appointments will be filled during his absence by Rev. G. W. Heuning, editor of the Southern California Christian Advocate, on May 15, and Rev. F. R. Hollemb on May 22 and 29. Jeel B. Patker was over from Orange on Tuesday shaking hands with his friends ever this way. Joel took an active part in knocking life out of the late lamented twilight patient, and informs us that nothing is ever heard of it in his section nowadays. He reports theOrangeslookingwell,andtheoutlookexcellentforthenewrop. Afternoon Ten.

Mr. Fowler will give considerable attention to the sugar refinery corporation, of which organization he is the efficient president. The Odd Follows initiated three new members on Tuesday evening and had work in the second and third degrees. The lodge was visited by a delegation of Santa Ana brethren and after the ceremonies all hands were invited to an elegant collation prepared as only the Anaheim Odd Follows can prepare things. At a late hour the visitors departed for their homes, well satisfied with their trip to Anaheim. The Los Angeles ball club is only a couple of games behind San Jose in the race for the pennant. They have just struck their gait, and it would not surprise us much to see them load the Northeners at the end of next week's series. They are playing phenomenal ball, and all the cranks in Anaheim are with them to win the pennant and take that trip to Honolulu. Mine host Everharty has put in a sporting bulletin at the Commercial which much in favor with these who are anxious to learn the result of sporting events. He gets the result of ball games in the California League every evening by telegraph, and posts up the score for the edification of the cranks. The bulletin also contains the latest sporting events, and seems to fill a long felt want. Hall Stoll has filed suit against Welcome Fowler of Orange in the Superior court of Los Angeles to annul a contract in which the plaintiff exchanged 30 acres of land and a house at Cahuenga for the Palmyra Hotel at Orange. Stoll alleges that the hotel property was misrepresented to him by Fowler to such an extent that he feels himself justified in suing for the annulling of the contract. We were shown last week copies of two Bibles which are probably among the oldest publications in this part of the country. One was printed in 1716, being thus 176 years old. The Old Testament of the other appeared in 1812, the New Testament appearing two years later. Beth are London publications, and are good specimens of the printing of the time, one of them being a large royal octavo, very finely illustrated. The books are the property of the Anaheim Ledge of Odd Follows, having been presented them many years ago by Dr. James Perey Ellis, who lived here in the early days. Both vol- Mrs. Hartung entertained a sorotic of her friends at tea last Thursday afternoon, when she time was passed very pleasantly.
