HAPPENINGS OF THE WEEK A Site Selected for the Sugar Refinery. The Buildings Will Be Located Just Beyond the Southern City Limits—Satisfactory Progress Being Made in Forming the Corporation—Other News—Locating Artesian Water—Athletic Exhibition — Remick's Pony—Social and Personal Mention The Board of Directors of the Co-operative Sugar Refinery met in regular monthly session at their office on Tuesday. The principal business transaction was the selection of a site for the factory. The tract chosen is the northeast quarter of the northwest quarter of Section 22, containing forty acres, and lies just outside the southern city limits. The tract is a gift to the corporation from the Stearns' Ranchos Company, a deed in escrow having been placed in the Bank of Anaheim. Stanton & Van Alstine offered to donate a forty-acre tract a couple of miles below town, but the site was not considered available for the factory. The location of the factory on the site selected will give general satisfaction to the subscribers to stock. An artesian well will be sunk shortly, and the tract got in readiness for building operations, which will begin in all probability at an early date. The board received four bids from Los Angeles parties offering to furnish the labor and material for the factory buildings and to take bonds of the corporation at par in payment for them. The bids were filed for future consideration. It was decided to issue a prospectus setting forth the advantages of establishing the refinery here. The same will be issued as soon as the matter can be printed. The Executive Committee will meet again on Saturday for the purpose of appointing subcommittees to start the work of soliciting stock for the corporation. Between seven and eight hundred acres have thus far been secured, and it is proposed to double the number within the next two weeks. Locating Artesian Water. George K. Tucker, the well known "water locater" of Los Angeles, was in town on Monday for the purpose of locating streams on the property below town selected as the site for the Co-operative Sugar Refinery. Mr. Tucker has achieved great success in contrary to expectations, is not showing encouraging signs of reproduction, while the parasites for the red scale are increasing but slowly. There is no doubt at all that the latter feeds voraciously on the red scale, and the question that remains to be determined is whether it will propagate rapidly enough to be of any value. They do not produce as rapidly as the vedalia cardinalis, and are by no means as active as the latter insects. The recent cold weather, however, may have had something to do with this retardation. It the present warm spell continues for two or three weeks, however, an opportunity will be given of judging of the value of these new parasites under better conditions. It has been noticed that the vedalia cardinalis has worked much more slowly this year on the white scale, although it is still doing good work, this being due to the cool weather also. On an average from sight to ten colonies of the parasite are being sent out daily to fruit growers in Southern California. Two large colonies have also been sent to the Bermudas, one large colony to Mexico and one to Tahiti. A colony will consist of from ten to fifty insects, and they propagate rapidly. Farmers receiving these colonies are especially requested to take pains in their care and propagation. The red ant is very destructive to small colonies of the vedalia, and farmers are cautioned against placing them on trees infested with the ants, or else take measures to destroy the ants. Mr. Scott, the Los Angeles Horizontal Commissioner, is always ready to supply colonies to farmers whose trees are infested with white scale. Athletic Exhibition. Next Saturday evening at Reiser's Opera-house patrons of the "manly art" will be given an opportunity of witnessing an athletic exhibition of more than ordinary merit. The first bout on the programme will be between Billy Maber, champion lightweight of Australia, and Tom Bernard, champion lightweight of Montana. The next "go" will be between La Blanche, the Marine, and Billy Shannon, the likely instructor of boxing in the Los Angeles Athletic Club. Shannon has many friends down this way, and is sure to be greeted with a large house. He will give the Marine a very lively and interesting go. The event of the evening will be a ten-round contest between Professor Lymburner of Fullerton and Frank Parcell of Salt Lake, whom Maber defeated in fifteen rounds in Los Angeles last week. Lymburner has got himself into the pink of condition, and promises to make it more interesting for Purcell than he did for Betts the other night. Other local sat-tos will be arranged for, and at the conclusion La Blanche will offer to stop or best any middle-weight in the county in four rounds. It is whispered on the sly that the boys have a boxer coming in from the wilds of Artesia to go against the Marine and mix up with him. The —Whew!

Between seven and eight hundred acres have thus far been secured, and it is proposed to double the number within the next two weeks. Locating Artesian Water. George R. Tucker, the well known "water locater" of Los Angeles, was in town on Monday for the purpose of locating streams on the property below town selected as the site for the Co-operative Sugar Refinery, Mr. Tucker has achieved great success in his water locations in the Antelope Valley and other parts of Los Angeles county, and his investigations here were looked forward to with a great deal of interest. He uses a simple soft iron divining rod for water and a copper wire for oil. Either one of these he holds in his hands, and when approaching a stream the electrical current manifests itself in the wires, and when passing over a stream, the wire always toward the body in a very positive manner. This electrical current makes itself apparent either while the operator walks over the ground or while riding in a carriage or other vehicle. Starting out on Monday afternoon in search of artesian streams, the first water belt was found on West street, abreast of Mr. Wohmeyer's fine young vineyard. Here was found a stream 157 feet in width. Heaching the tract selected for the factory site, just below the Jewish cemetery, Mr. Tucker was driven across lots, holding his water rod in his hands. Suddenly, while the horses were traveling at quite a brisk pace, he leaped from the carriage, saying "Here's water," and walked some two hundred feet with the wire swaying at every step. The stream was marked off, and other streams were then located. A site for a well was selected at a point where two immense streams cross each other about 250 feet below the surface. The greater part of the afternoon was spent in locating the streams, Mr. Tucker walking over the entire tract. As soon as he emerged from the water belt his rod would remain stationary, then stepping back to the edge of the stream the electrical current would come again. In this way he had no difficulty in locating the course of the stream, its width, and to a certain extent its depth below the surface. One stream was found, two hundred feet wide, running from northeast to southwest; and another of a similar width, running from north to south, intersects it on the tract. At this point a big artesian well will be sunk. Several of the party tried their hand with the divining rod, including the reporter, who has no hesitancy in saying that, according to Mr. Tucker's theory, there is "thousands of water" in the tract. The rod swayed in his hands precisely as it did in Mr. Tucker's Col. Everbarty, H. C. Gade and Arthur Lewis also tried the rod, and are with us on the water proposition. Mr. Tucker brings the best of testimonials with him, and as stated above, has met with conspicuous success in locating streams in various parts of the country. On Tuesday he departed for Catalina, where he goes to locate streams for the Banning boys. He will also try the experiment of attempting to locate water under the ocean on the way over, which he has no doubt he can successfully do. The Browning Reception. Mr. and Mrs. V. A. Browning extended their hospitality most graciously to their many friends last Thursday evening by entertaining them at a reception given at the Story of Remick's Pony. Fisherman Remick didn't come out of his pony trade so bad after all. The pony was first taken up estray by our old friend George Turner of the peat lands, who sold it to a lady of the old colony, who in turn disposed of it to Remick for $25. The other day while Remick had the pony staked on the plains near Long Beach, being himself in search of fish on the bosom of the dark and deep blue sea, beyond Alamitos, the pony's original owner came along and took the pony along with him. When Remick returned from the sea, seeing his pony had disappeared, his consternation knew no bounds. He followed the pony's tracks to Long Beach, discovered that man with it and had him arrested. The trial came on at Downey last week, but the wise Judge ruled that Remick had no right to the pony, and that the man who had taken it from the plains near Long Beach was the rightful owner. Remick was taxed the costs of the suit, which amounted to something like $20. He was out his time, his money, his fish, his pony and everything else. So he went down to the peat lands to interview the lady from whom he bought the pony. When she learned Remick's story she refunded the money and paid one-third of Remick's court expenses. Then George Turner paid a third of the expenses, and Remick was only out about $5 after all, not counting his time. But he says he got $5 worth of experience, and that's enough for this time. A Narrow Escape. Two life-insurance men had a narrow escape from great bodily harm, and perhaps a violent and ignominious death, one day last week at Orangethorpe. They were out that way in search of business, and accosted Hugo O'Kraffke, son of the Superintendent of our electric light system, who works on a farm in the neighborhood, and attempted to talk him into taking out a policy. Young O'Kraffke didn't know what they were after, and so he called to his employer, who sherished a large-sized hatred against all insurance men, to come to his assistance. As soon as the old man saw the insurance men, it was all up with them. They went out of that place flying, only touching the high places. They escaped with their lives, but, the next time they go out that way, they had better take out policies themselves. Vision of Fair Women. Next Friday evening at the Opera-house occurs the Native Daughters' entertainment, for which such great preparations have been made during the past several weeks. The will give the Marine a very lively and interesting go. The event of the evening will be a ten-round contest between Professor Lymburner of Fullerton and Frank Parcell of Salt Lake, whom Maber defeated in fifteen rounds in Los Angeles last week. Lymburner has got himself into the pink of condition, and promises to make it more interesting for Purseil than he did for Betts the other night. Other local sat-tos will be arranged for, and at the conclusion La Blanche will offer to stop or best any middle-weight in the county in four rounds. It is whispered on the sly that the boys have a boxer coming in from the wilds of Artesia to go against the Marine and mix up with him. The programme is a good one, and the price of admission is low. There should be a large crowd in attendance. While Frank horse in North Arkansas animal stumble ground, wrenching wise brushing him as confined to his bed now getting over it.

Brownning extended their hospitality most graciously to their many friends last Thursday evening by entertaining them at a reception given at the Hotel del Campo. The large dining-room, which was turned into a ballroom for the evening, was beautifully decorated with flowers. Dancing was indulged in by some twenty merry couples, who tripped the light fantastic to the strains of excellent music furnished by a Pasadena orchestra. Games at cards also served to pass the evening pleasantly. Refreshments were served by eight lovely young ladies—Stella Scott, Daisy Landell, Jessie and Winfred Melrose, Frutze Heimann, Zelina Bailey, and Bessie and Alice Bates. Those present were Mr. and Mrs. V. A. Browning, Mr. and Mrs. L. Brownning, Mr. and Mrs. A. Rimpau, Mr. and Mrs. F. G. Ryan, Mr. and Mrs. R. Melrose, Mr. and Mrs. A. H. Thacker, Mr. and Mrs. J.

The propagation of the newly imported parasites for the destruction of the red and black scale, which are in charge of Prof. Coquillett at Los Angeles is being watched with much interest by the orange growers of this section. The black scale parasite, O'Kraffko didn't know what they were after, and so he called to his employer, who shelters a large-sized hatred against all insurance men, to come to his assistance.As soon as the old man saw the insurance men, it was all up with them They went out of that place flying, only touching the high places They escaped with their lives but, the next time they go out that way they had better take out policies themselves. Vision of Fair Women. Next Friday evening at the Opera-house occurs the Native Daughters' entertainment, for which such great preparations have been made during the past several weeks.The programme will include an adaptation of Tennyson's "Vision of Fair Woman," which the young ladies assure us will be perfectly lovely This will be followed by a comedy entitled "A Box of Monkeys," which the young ladies assure us will be ridiculously funny.Ice cream (Gardner's) and other refreshments will be served during the evening,and the entertainment will conclude with a social hop.The indications are that the affair will be one of the events of the season,and that a very large crowd will be in attendance.The young ladies deserve a crowded house as they have been to great pains to arrange for the entertainment. "Woll well is that you? I did not know you in your new dress; it is a lovely piece of goods.Did you get it from the city?" "Oh no my dear Mrs.Bryant I bought it at H.Cahen's store.Did you not know that he has just received a lovely assortment of Courderoy,Zepbyrs,Cambray,Gingham Outing Flannels and a lot of other new goods!Go and look at his show:windows and that will give you an idea of the goods you can find there."

Mother and child doing well, and the old man getting over it. Our last week's article on the political situation caused quite a stir among the politicians, only we didn't mean to say that Nichols was a Democrat. Of course the political invalids, who have been in the political hospital since the last election, were given no notice, but may be allowed to pose as caballos negros. Julius Schneider doesn't know what to think of the fumigators. They were at work in his orange orchard last Monday night, and some time in the after part of the night he got up to see how they were getting along. He found the entire outfit soundleep. How long they slept, or had been sleeping, he knows not, but he went back to bed wondering how much his fumigating would cost him. Tom Scully was down from Rincon yesterday and dropped in to see us. He reports everything looking well up his way, and the country going ahead at a lively rate. Tom recently paid a visit to the Temecula tin We have received a copy of the South Beud (Indiana) Tribune containing the announcement that David R.

About one hundred ladies and gentlemen were in attendance. The day's sport was pronounced a brilliant success by those who participated. The day was passed very pleasantly, a number of very fine races being run. A lunch was partaken of at noon, and late, in the afternoon the party dispersed, very well pleased with their day's outing. Thacker Bros. have a force of about twenty-five men at work at their packinghouse, besides a large force of pickers in the orchards. There is not a single idle man to be found in town. Two carloads of oranges are being shipped daily over the Southern Pacific. Every box of oranges shipped from here is stamped "Guaranteed free from frost." Our famous frostless orange belt is rapidly acquiring a world-wide reputation. It is announced that the California National Bank of San Diego, which some months ago suspended, will shortly pay its depositors a dividend of ten per cent. This will be pleasant news to Mr. Fowler and Mr. Colten, the frat of whom lost $5,000, and the latter $50,000 by the crash. It is expected that other dividends will follow, and that depositors will be paid something like 60 cents on the dollar. The suspension was a disastrous blow to San Diego. R. L. Cooke, the well borer, who is putting down an artesian well for Domingo Basanchury on his ranch at the foothills north of town, informs us that the well is down 560 feet, in a rocky formation. The well has struck nothing but rock during the last 150 feet. The water rises to within forty feet of the surface, which is forty feet above the level. Mr. Cooke thinks that just as soon as he gets through the rocky strata he will strike a good flowing well, but he is prepared to go down 1,000 feet if necessary. Louis Holz was arrested last week on warrants issued out of Judge Fawcott's court at Westminster, one charging him with violation of the local option law, by selling liquors at his saloon at Anaheim Landing on May Day, and the other charging him with selling liquor to a minor. The trial was to have come up at Westminster on Saturday, but Louis obtained a change of venue to Santa Ana and the case will come up for trial some time next week. There is a movement on foot among some of the young men of this city and Fullerton to form a boxing class. It is understood that the services of Billy Shannon can be secured at a nominal rate. The Fullerton class already comprises some two dozen young men of that place, and it is thought that the local class will contain as many or more. The movement may lead to the formation of an athletic club and the establishment of a gymnasium. Aggosor Ross was over to see his friend hereaway one day last week. "Jake" is now troubling himself much about the electric trip as he holds over for a couple years yet. Sheriff Gibson of Los Angeles was in town last Friday on a short visit. Mr. Gibson has the call on the Democratic nomination for Sheriff this year, and will run his oppose nent a very hard race. Carl Bennachercheit paid a visit to Chisha on Monday and Tuesday, and found matters progressing nicely. The beats are looking very well—much better, he thinks, than last season. The factory will probably start in operations in a month or so. M. M. Poole of San Francisco, who owns a forty-score tract of walnuts west of town was in his city on Sunday. Mr. Poole much pleased with his holding, and is of this opinion that we may expect a large immigration out this way in the next two years. Our townsman Chaz Hilmer has taken her departure with his family for Fresno, when she will in future reside. We expect to see them back in Anabesim one of these days. We join their friends in hoping their lines may be cast in pleasant places. Big Bentz has become a minion of the law Marshal Steadman has appointed him his deputy, and now that he has had his hand cut pompour he is ready to enforce the law with evil doors of high and low degree. Keep your eye on Bentz. G. H. A. Goodwin of the Los Angeles Journal, a periodical which poultries raise in Southern California can afford to be without until August and where they will entertain many of their-theatrical friends during the summer. The many friends of the Madame will be pleased to hear that her past season has been particularly successful. She is charmed to get back to her home near Anabesim. Chris Saalwaechter returned last week from his trip to Cincinnati, whither he had been called some six weeks ago on account of the serious illness of his mother. When he left his Eastern home his mother's health was greatly improved and she is now on the road to recovery. Chris visited the World's Fair grounds at Chicago on his way back and reports the buildings well advanced to ward completion. He advises everyone visiting the Fair from the glorious climate of California to take plenty of overcoats and blankets along as the Fair grounds are some seventeen miles out of the Windy City, and the winds blow pretty far from New York. ``` Juillet Schneider doesn't know what to think of the fumigators. They were at work in his orange orchard last Monday night, and some time in the after part of the night he got up to see how they were getting along. He found the entire outfit sound asleep.

He reports everything looking well up his way, and the country going ahead at a lively rate. Tom recently paid a visit to the Temescal tin mines and went into the shaft. One hundred men are now at work in the mines and the development of ore is being made at a very satisfactory rate. A. E. McKay, or McDonald, who broke into the Catholic Cathedral in Los Angeles, blew open the altar safe and burglarized the premises, has been sentenced to ten years in the State Prison at Folsom. This is said to be the first conviction for a similar crime in the history of the State. McKay passed several days in Anaheim previous to the robbery, and while here inspected the bank premises. He is a noted burglar, and has served many years in prison. He took his sentence very hard, saying that he was 45 years old and that he did not like to die in prison. Some time ago Herman Dickel missed a lengthy piece of garden hose from his place on Palm street, and being of the opinion that it had been stolen along with the other hose that has lately mysteriously disappeared from different parts of the county, he notified the Los Angeles Chief of Police. On Monday Mr. Dickel received the information that his hose had been found in Los Angeles and the thief arrested. Yesterday he learned that it had been sent down to Santa Ana, along with a lot of hose that had been stolen from this county, and he will go over and get it. The hose thief, whose arrest in Los Angeles first prompted Mr. Dickel to write the Chief of Police, is said to have got away with 15,000 feet of hose in the past several weeks. He will doubtless go to jail for an extended term. Los Angeles appears to be permeated just now with a religious atmosphere consequent on the revival work of Evangelist Mills, who is drawing audiences of from 3,000 to 5,000 times a day at Hazard's pavilion. A number of prominent citizens — There is a movement on foot among some of the young men of this city and Fullerton to form a boxing class. It is understood the services of Billy Shannon can be secured at a nominal rate. The Fullerton classes already comprise some two dozen young men of that place, and it is thought that the local class will contain as many or more. The movement may lead to the formation of an athletic club and the establishment of a gymnasium. The plan is a good one, and is meeting cordial favor among the young men of the vicinity. — An election for School Trustees to fill the vacancy caused by the expiration of Trustees Brown's term will be held in this school district on June 7th. Two gentlemen have been prevailed upon by their friends to make the race for the office, namely, C. O. Rust and T. J. Jones. Both gentlemen are "in the hands of their friends," as it were, and neither is a seaker for the office. Both gentlemen are estimable citizens, possessing excellent "material," and either of them would make a capital Trustee. As we can elect but one of them, the choice must be decided by the voters of the district. — The Board of Directors of the water company met on Friday last to consider a proposition made by Leonard Parker, one of ex-Secretary Gardiner's bondsmen, for a compromise in the suit of the company against Gardiner and his bondsmen. Mr. Parker stated that he was willing to pay $400 or $500 to settle his part of the suit, failing to do which he would take an appeal to the Supreme Court. The judgment of the court in favor of the company amounts to $1,240, and the Directors decided that if Mr. Parker would pay half of the amount—the other of Gardiner's bondsmen being bankrupt—they would drop the suit. Mr. Parker has the proposition under consideration, but has not yet given an answer. — Some days ago Charley Rasmella missed a razor from his room and a long search failed to reveal its whereabouts. A second one went the same way, and a third was purchased, which also disappeared. Suspicion rested on the fourteen-year-old son of O. V. Knowlton, who had been seen about the premises, and Constable Landell instituted a search of his home. The search revealed the missing articles, and also a watch that had been taken from Herr James' selling liquor to a minor. The trial was to have come up at Westminster on Saturday, but Louis obtained a change of venue to Santa Ana and the case will come up for trial some time next week. — There is a movement on foot among some of the young men of this city and Fullerton to form a boxing class.
