LATE NEWS OF THE WEEK. City Council—Irrigation Bonds—Landing Notes. The City Well to be Put Down at Once—Some Interesting Figures on the Bond Question—What the Four Hundred are Doing at the Seaside—Sugar Refinery—Personal Mention. The Board of Trustees met in regular session in the New City Hall on Tuesday evening. Present, full board. The Clerk read the minutes of the last regular and adjourned meetings, which were approved as read. It was ordered that the old bridge on Adela street be removed and the ditch filled. The Public Improvement Committee was empowered to purchase as many carloads of gravel as necessary with which to improve the streets in the city. Trustees Witte and Rust were appointed a committee to go to Los Angeles and employ an expert to examine the boiler offered for sale to the city by a Mr. McDonald for use at the water works. The Clerk was directed to readvertise for new bids for the remodeling of Hermine street as per specifications. The notice will be found in another column. In regard to the Chairman interviewing the attorney about resounding the action of the board in the matter of grading Hermine street. He reported that the motion of Mr. Ey to rescind the board's action could not be entertained. Mr. Platt of Newport again appeared before the board in regard to boring the new well. He offered to bore a 11-inch 150 foot wall for $250, or a 200 foot well for $300, the city to furnish the casing. Then he will continue to bore with hydraulic tools without casing to any depth up to 600 feet for $150 per foot, but will not guarantee against abstractions below the 200 feet mentioned. If he goes deeper than 600 feet the price is to be 50 cents per foot for each additional 100 feet. His proposition was accepted and the attorney was directed to draw up a contract in conformity with the same. The Fire Commissioner was authorized to make necessary improvements for draining hose after its use. Adjourned. a legally constituted quorum, the questions were not decided, but will come up again for discussion at a stockholders' meeting to be held at the same place this afternoon at 2 o'clock. Another meeting of the citizens of this city was held at the same place Tuesday evening. Adolph Rimpau was in the chair and Mr. Chynoweth acted as Secretary. The meeting was well attended and enthusiastic, and the discussion of the subjects before the meeting were entered into with spirit. Adolph Rimpau and John Everharty were appointed a committee to interview Col. Northam of the Land Company relative to the price of land to be purchased for boot planting. Another meeting will be held next Saturday evening, when the committee will report. There are now upwards of 1,500 shares subscribed for, with an additional number in sight to bring the aggregate up to over 2,000 shares. The work is going on satisfactorily, and there is no doubt that the efforts of our enterprising citizens to establish the sugar refinery here will be crowned with ultimate success. DOWN BY THE SEA. WHAT THE WILD WAVES ARE SAYING GOSSIP AND PERSONALS FROM THE SEASIDE. ANAHEIM LANDING, August 31, 1892. Another large crowd was in attendance at the Landing Sunday. The Anaheim City Band was here and discoursed sweet music the livelong day, and finer music is seldom heard. It was the means of drawing a large crowd, and it was late in the afternoon when the day's pleasures ended. The Misses Vance of Norwalk were conspicuous among the many pretty girls here Sunday. Mrs. Richards and daughter Lucretia have returned to their home in San Gabriel. A very pleasant tea party was given by Mr. and Mrs. Tuffee one evening last week. Mrs. Horr, who has been the guest of Mrs. Cahen for several days, returned home on Sunday.

Herman Dick SELL THE BONDS. MR. STRAIN GIVES GOOD REASONS WHY THE BONDS SHOULD BE SOLD AT 90. EDITOR GAZETTE.—As there is considerable interest manifested in the public mind as to the sale of the bonds of our irrigation district at 90 cents on the dollar with $6,000 commission, I have made a calculation on the matter, the result of which shows that it amounts to as nearly as possible the same as if we got par, or 100 cents for each dollar of bonds issued, and paid 7½ per cent interest without any commission, advertising or any expense whatever. The following are the figures to show above results: As we have the whole money for 10 years without repaying any of the principal and then 10 years in which the principal is gradually paid, I take it as the same as a permanent loan for 15 years. Now, suppose we get par for our bonds; we issue bonds valued at $300,000, which at 7½ per cent the yearly interest would be $22,500. This, for 15 years, is $337,000. Add to this the principal—$300,000—and the total payments for principal and interest amount to $637,000. Remember this is the amount of money to be paid if we sold at par with 7½ per cent interest, but no commissions, attorneys' or engineers' examinations or any expense whatever. Now, what I want to show is that the proposition made at the last meeting of the Directors amounts to as nearly as possible the same results as it would if we sold the bonds at 90 cents on the dollar with $6,000 commission, we paying attorneys' and engineers' examination fees and deliver the bonds in London. Now, to realize $300,000 cash, as in the former case, we have to issue not $300,000 in bonds but $333,000; the annual interest on these at 6 per cent amounts to $20,000. Thus, for 15 years it amounts to $300,000; add to this the principal, $333,000; and we have a total of $633,000; but to this we must add $6,000 commission with 6 per cent interest on same for 15 years, amounting to $5,400, making a total of $11,400; this added to the principal and interest makes a total of $644,400. But we must remember that on this latter plan we pay only $20,000 interest annually, while on the former plan we pay $22,500 per year; therefore, we have to credit the latter plan with the interest upon this extra $2,500 of interest which, when accumulated for 15 years without compounding, amounts to $15,400; deducting this from the latter plan or $644,400, we have $629,000, as against $637,000, leaving a balance of $8,000 in favor of selling the bonds as offered at the last meeting. Now, thus $8,000 will fully cover all advertisements, pamphlets, attorneys' and engineers' fees and delivery of bonds in London. The question for us to decide is: Can we A candy pull the other evening a young man was heard to propound the following conundrum: "When is a young lady like a seagull?" Answer: "When she rests on the bosom of a heavy swell." See? Mr. Kollogg and Mr. Rabb were seen on the beach with two charming young ladies. Miss Hattie Baker is here, the guest of Miss Cora Lewis.

Now, this $8,000 will fully cover all advertisements, pamphlets, attorneys' and engineers' fees and delivery of bonds in London. The question for us to decide is, Can we afford to reject such an offer, after looking the matter over carefully? I believe we should accept. We have for years been borrowing at 10 per cent in the old company, occasionally a little less, but then in nearly every case on call; we have tried to get large loans cheaper and always failed. Capitalists will not loan large amounts without a bond or mortgage. This we can only give through our district. Both the water company and the voters of the district have been working almost unanimously for five years to form our district and sell our bonds, and I think now is the time to settle the matter. There are many men who have purchased lands outside the old company's district who have paid their tax and expect water and have a right to water, and in justice to these men we should not wait any longer. The season of the year is favorable to begin work; the hurry of irrigating is largely over; water could be turned out for improvement of ditches, and men and teams are idle and ready to do work. To the working man the sale of our bonds means abundance of work; to the small farmer it means abundance of work for himself and team and sale for his produce; to the business man it means a large increase of business and that largely cash; to the stockholders of the A. U. W. Co. it means the lifting the lead off their shoulders and spreading it on all benefited by our water supply; to the whole valley it means an increase of water, increase of business, increased prosperity and vitality. Therefore, sell the bonds. Yours truly, THOMAS STRAIN The Sugar Refinery. A meeting of the stockholders in the co-operative sugar refinery was held at Kroeger's Hall last Thursday afternoon, with Mr. Jones in the chair. The proposition to issue bonds of the corporation for the erection of the refinery buildings, and also to change the by-laws limiting the acreage that may be subscribed for, were discussed at length, the sentiment of the meeting in regard to the latter proposition being that there should be no limit. There not being Lee Golf enjoyed the company and sweet smiles of a young lady on the sands Sunday. Col. Tuftree delights in waking up some of the young men at 4 A.M. to go in swimming with him.

Charley Wetzel, aged 15 years, son of Martin Wetzel, who is well and favorably known in Anaheim, was accidentally shot and killed by his brother Raymond, aged 13 in Los Angeles on Sunday about noon. The boys had been out with a companion toward Glendale, north of the city, and had a little wagon and single-barreled shotgun along to shoot squirrels with. While Raymond was attempting to get the gun from the wagon to shoot at a squirrel, it was accidentally discharged, the load taking effect in Charley's body, death resulting shortly after. The wounded boy was placed in the wagon and taken to the Five-mile House, when the boys telephoned news of the sad accident into town. The youth shortly after expired. He was a nephew of Engineer Schneider of this city, and was an uncommonly bright lad. His death is a sad blow to his parents. Martin Wetzel is a well-known engineer and has many friends here, having pulled the first train into Anaheim on the Southern Pacific Railroad many years ago. He and his family have the sympathy of all in their bereavement. A full line of camping outfits, tents, hammocks, etc., just received from the East at Lyons' store. Go and see them.

Herman Dickel has been awarded the Browning, and declare the encampment resulted in great good to the regiment. Company G was easily the best drilled company in the regiment, and in inspection and soldierly bearing simply distanced the other companies. We are glad to hear that none of our boys got into the guard-house, while one of the Los Angeles companies had twenty-two men in the guard-house at one time. Our boys won the tug of war, and challenged the regiment to a footrace or boxing bout or anything else to make it interesting. They were strictly in it, and were up to date in everything going on. Otto Rust, Fritz Ruhlmann and Max Nebelung, who went over to Catalina last Saturday for an outing, returned on Monday, by way of Newport, having had a very pleasant trip. A party composed of V.

Albert Bruskey has just put up a comfortable cottage on his twenty-acre tract, and put out many trees. Mr. Schultz, west of Mr. Green's place, is also putting up a house, and Miss Miles is building a cottage west of Mr. Gillison's place. Mr. Bobst is putting down an artesian well, which is now down about 150 feet. The neighborhood is rapidly forging ahead, and is being peopled with a very desirable class of settlers. W. C. Jenks died at his residence in North Anaheim at 3 o'clock last Monday morning of cancer in the face. He was aged 54 years, and for fifteen years or more had been a sufferer with the dread malady. The left side of his face was gradually oaten away by the disease. His left eye had long ago wasted away, and gradually the disease spread to the right side of the face, enveloping the region of the nose and eye, and sealing the doom of the sufferer. For years Jenks knew that recovery was impossible, but he bore up under the load of his suffering with patient fortitude to the end. He was in town on Saturday, seemingly as contented as ever. On Sunday his right eye was stricken with blindness, the canceroous growth having rescued the optic nerve. He lingered in great suffering until 3 o'clock on Monday morning, when death came to release him from his pains. The remains were interred on Tuesday morning, being followed to the grave by the friends and neighbors of the deceased. Jenka had been a resident of this section for PERSONAL MELANGE. M. J.

ADVENTURES OF THE PARTY OF ANAHEIMERS WHO VISITED THE RESORT THE OTHER DAY. AVALON, Catalina Island, August 29, 1892. EDITOR GAZETTE. —Perhaps a few items regarding Avalon, Catalina Island, may be of interest to some of your readers. Three dollars and forty cents will buy a round-trip ticket from Anaheim. We went by way of Newport, intending to return via Redondo. Upon arriving at Newport at 10:30 the outline of the steamer Falcon could be seen out at sea coming from Catalina. At 12 o'clock the whistle sounded the warning for all those intending to go to Catalina to get aboard. The trip over to Avalon consumed three hours and was enlivened by the antics of whales diving and spouting spray high into the air. Owing to the ocean being very smooth no one was called upon to teed the fishes. Avalon presents a very lively appearance. Three steamer loads arrived Saturday and three Sunday. The harbor is dotted with row-boats, sail-boats, hapha launches and steamers. During bathing hours bathers are more numerous than ducks at the Bolsas in winter. The Banning brothers, proprietors of the island, are doing everything to make it pleasant for the excursionists and campers. Campers are allowed camping ground and water free. A fine circular dancing pavilion, coating $1,500 has been built, which is free to the public, as is also excellent music. Avalon has five or six flourishing hotels, where first-class accommodations can be had at reasonable rates. The first week in August there were at one time 450 tents and 52 frame buildings here. The sanitary conditions of Avalon are excellent, a sower line having been laid which carries the sewage around the eastern end of the harbor, and the southerly current carries it out to sea. A maa is constantly employed gathering up in barrels the refuse from campers and bathers, which is towed on a barge out to the sea and dumped. One noticeable feature of the people who patronize Avalon is that the rowdy element does not get here. Mosquitoes and flies also are rare. One peculiarity of the place is that nothing lying over night gets wet or damp from dew or fog. It seems that the peaks radiating off heat at night cause an upward current of air, sufficient to prevent the settling of moisture. S. S. Federman has returned from his trip to San Francisco, bringing with him a stock of fall and winter goods. Mrs. Federson and daughter will remain some time in the metropolis. Wm. Alumbaugh has accepted a position as foreman on Gen. Pierce's ranch west of town. Mr. Alumbaugh has had years of experience in ranching and will doubtless make the General an efficient employee. Dr. Woermans of Los Angeles was in town in attendance upon the sugar-beet meeting last Thursday. The Doctor is an enthusiastic tie supporter of the relinquishment proposition and is sure we shall make a success of it. Joe Nichols, Santa Ana's efficient City Marshal, who is a candidate for Sheriff, will inform us that his chances of nomination are excellent. If elected Mr. Nichols will undoubtedly make a very capable officer. R. C. Allen and wife of Snoshomish, Washington are in town, the guests of Mr. and Mrs. Middleham. Mrs. Allen is a sister to Mr. Middleham, and will probably remain here during the summer. Mr. Allen returns north in a week or two. Alex Henderson, the boss blacksmith of Fullerton, was in town on Saturday, and in forms us that he is rapidly building up a fine trade and that business is on the up grade all the time. Alex is a fine horse shoe and gives general satisfaction to his patrons. Fred C. McKinniean, an old-time Anaheimmer was in town one day last week on a short business trip. Fred is with the Angel City Chemical Works and is rapidly establishing a reputation for his firm among their patron throughout Southern California. S.E. Kierfer, President of the Southern California Christian Endeavor Union, spent several days in San Diego during the week in attendance at the meeting of Christian Endeavorors at that place. The annual convention of the Union will be held at San Diego in November. Aaron Wintert, who lives at Pahrump, Nevada, near the place where Mr. Sorenson met his death, has been in town during the week on a short business trip. Mr Wintert was about to accompany Sorenson on his trip, but was taken ill with fever in Los Angeles and had to remain behind. He is discoverer of many valuable mines, one them being the barax mines in Inyo county which he sold to W.T. Coleman for $60,000. Mr Wintert will return to Pahrump as soon as his health permits. George Bassonnott, who aspires to the Democratic nomination for Sheriff, was over from Santa Ana to see the boys a few days ago and made things interesting during his stay. George has a very agreeable way of making himself popular, and will no doubt show up strong in the convention. We had a little argument with him years ago when he ran for Supervisor, but that is past and gone. George subscribes for the Gazette always keeps posted on the news, is a good fellow and if he gets the nomination will make it mighty interesting for his opponent. Tom Hull, who will be a candidate for Sheriff before the Republican convention, was in town one day last week talking crops, politics and the outlook with his many friends, who would like to see him get the nomination. Tom is an old resident of the Lyons is doing a rushing business, and is constantly adding to his stock. —Attention is directed to the advertisement of Dilley, Bruuswicker & Howell, the Fullerton butchers, who have lately made some notable improvements in their meat market. Mr. Howell, recently of New Mexico, has bought a third interest in the business and the new firm is rapidly working up a large trade. —Attention is directed to the advertisement of Kelsey & Adams, who have opened a horse market in the stable building on Los Angeles street. Both gentlemen are well-known horsemen, and should be called upon by parties desiring to purchase or trade anything in their line. —a note from Hiram Hamilton brings the information that an ontological meeting will occur at the Baptist Church in Orange to-day, Sept. 1st, at 2 p.m., to hear Prof. Koebele and Prof. Craw on scale parasites. Mr. Koebele will give his observations on this subject in foreign lands. All interested invited to attend; ladies also. —the Democratic County Central Committee have re-apportioned the number of delegates to the Democratic Convention, which will be held in Santa Ana on September 10th. Primaries will be held on Saturday next. Anahiem has seven delegates, Buena Park two, Delhi one, El Toro one, El Modena three, Fullerton four, Garden Grove three, New Hope three, Newport two, Laguna one, Orange three, Santa Ana twenty, Silverado one, St. James three, San Juan two, Trabuca two, Tustin six, West Anaheim two, West Orange three, Westminster four, Yorba two. Total, seventy-three. —the glove contest between Prof. Bernard and Joe Cotton at the Opera-house last Saturday evening resulted in a victory for the former. In the eleventh round Cotton claimed that Bernard had fouled him, but thus the referee refused to allow. Cotton left the ring, claiming that Bernard had fouled him no less than four times during the fight, and that he could not get a "square deal" in Anahiem. The referee ordered Cotton to go on with the contest, failing to do which the mill was given to Bernard. Frank Childs, the noted colored middle-weight, was present and acted as one of Cotton's seconds. A preliminary sparring bout of three rounds was given by young Bentz and Abbey, which served to enthrase the spectators, who seemed to appreciate the go very much indeed. —the soldier boys have returned from Camp Anacapsa, and the town feels a sense of security in consequence. The boys are loud in their praises of Col. Schreiber and Capt. The sanitary conditions of Avalon are excellent, a sewer line having been laid which carries the sewage around the eastern end of the harbor, and the southerly current carries it out to sea. A man is constantly employed gathering up in barrels the refuse from campers and bathers, which is towed on a barge out to the sea and dumped. One noticeable feature of the people who patronize Avalon is that the rowdy element does not get here. Mosquitoes and flies also are rare. One peculiarity of the place is that nothing lying out over night gets wet or damp from dew or fog. It seems that the peaks radiating off heat at night cause an upward current of air, sufficient to prevent the settling of moisture. Avalon is supplied with pure mountain water from four springs, led in three pipes to the town. The source of supply is fully 500 feet higher than the town. The napha launches Linda and Mascott are constantly taking excursionists to points of interest along the island. Yesterday we concluded to try our hands at fishing. Procuring a boat, fishing tackle and minnie for bait, we started out. Rowing around Sugar Loaf we arrived at the fishing grounds. Throwing out our lines we fished for about two hours, when we concluded to return for a bath. Upon counting our fish we found that we had just 68 (being the number of bait minnies we had left.) Our genial City Clerk gained ten pounds in two days and the landlord felt very much relieved to see him make for the steamer with his grip. Fritz enjoyed himself hugely and nothing happened to mar his pleasure until Sunday night. Retiring about 11 o'clock he found to his dismay that he could not unfasten his patent necktie. Becoming nervous he began to pace the room at a hyena gat, desperately tugging and twisting at the tail until he got red in the face, constantly relieving his feelings by such expressions "Ach, Her Jesus!" "Ach, du lieber Got!" etc. The obnoxious tie was with assistance finally skinned off and consigned to the garret. After taking his bearings, he blew out the gas and tumbled into bed, and was soon in the land of dreams. FLOATS. Buy your fruit jars at Lyons.

Tom Hull, who will be a candidate for Sheriff before the Republican convention, was in town one day last week talking crops, politics and the outlook with his many friends, who would like to see him get the nomination. Tom is an old resident of the county, being well and favorably known from Buena Park to San Juan Capitranzo. If he should get the nomination for the office, and his friends say he is on the inside track in the race, he will grace the ticket and make a run that will be out of sight before the election is half over. Sheriff Lacy was over from across the raging Santa Ana river one day last week, renewing old acquaintances and talking politics incidentally. The old man will be a candidate for renomination, and if nominated will be a very hard man to beat. He buried his Republican opponent at the last election by something like 650 votes, when the antelection canvassed point to a Republican majority of three hundred or more. Lacy's administration has been alert, clean and energetic, and as a square man he is second to none. There is some objection to him at Santa Ana on the part of a few distinguished gentlemen who run away with the idea that they carry the Democratic party around in their breaches' pocket, but it is not because he is not honest, straight-forward and intelligent gentleman and good citizen. Lacy is a strong man with the people, and hasget-the-qualities that are a sight to see. County Treasurer Mansur, who is a candidate for renomination to the office which he now so capably fills, was in town on Monday partly on business and partly on politics bent. Mr. Mansur has not as yet asked a single delegate to the convention, not even his own ward at Santa Ana, to support him for renomination. He is a believer in pure politics—in the office seeking the man. The absurd statement has been sent broadcast that he would not receive the vote of a single delegate on this side of the river, but we opine that when the final showdown comes, Mansur will be in it to a considerable degree. He has made a capable and painstaking officer, stands well with the party and the people, is a model gentleman of the old school, and if nominated would lend strength to the ticket. There is no reason why good Republicans should not support him both in the convention and at the polls. NEW ADVERTISEMENTS. ISAAC LYONS, ...DEALER IN... Groceries, -- Provisions!
