HAPPENINGS OF THE WEEK The Sugar Factory and the Irrigation District. Application for a Franchise to Light the City With Electricity—Herr Schindler and His Order for $763-Colonel Tuffree Leaves the Water Board Without a Quorum—The Sugar Factory—Fullerton Letter. The Board of Directors of the irrigation district met in regular session on Tuesday, present Directors Korn, Ryan, Porter, Stadtegger and Crowther; also Judge Wilson, attorney of the district. The Treasurer's report showed a balance on hand amounting to $6,501 91 in favor of the district. The resolutions of the City Trustees, endorsing the sale of the irrigation bonds, were read and placed on file. Gen. H. A. Pierce appeared before the board and asked permission to address the board upon the question of excluding the plant of the co-operative sugar refinery from the operation of the laws of the irrigation district. The General read the following petition: To the Honorable Board of Directors of the Anaheim Irrigation District, Orange County, Cal.恳请: The Anaheim Co-operative Best Sugar Company have now secured the total amount of subscriptions to their stock and the success of the enterprise is assured. This industry will secure the investment of not less than $500,000 in the direct use and operation of its plant and will probably cause the investment of a much greater sum by those who establish home to keep the tender derived from this new industry. In the negotiations of our bonds, we are met with the question, "Are you in the irrigation district?" and we find that it will be a most serious, if not an insuperable objection to the success of this grand enterprise, if our plant is subject to the burdens of the irrigation district laws. We shall request the use of our plant at least forty acres and if we locate home to keep the tender derived from this new industry will bring to our county hundreds of dollars to help bear the burdens of all general and special taxes. We have not definitely located our plant, but we want the assurance of your board that wherever our plant may be located it shall be excluded from the operation of any burdens imposed by the irrigation laws of the State of California. (Original) The General proceeded to address the matter? There are some beautiful sites on the mesa that can be purchased, and something should be done in this direction before very long. Several of the elite from Fullerton took in the county fair the past week. It is an extremely frigid day when said elite don't take in fairs and shows. The Fullerton "parcheesi" club, or something like that, is in a flourishing condition; and we are told that new members are joining it. We notice sentimental young couples from Anaheim drive over in this section these moonlight nights. There have been many marriages around Fullerton the past two years. It must be they are trying to catch the infection. Cupid mizrobes may be slow to "catch on," but once they "get a holt" neither quarantine or fumigation will make 'em let go. If we'd taken the Gazette's "tip" straight wouldn't we have been "in it?" [In the boullion with the rest of us.] Ed.] Ben Porter lost $30 on one day's racing at Santa Ana, but won $22 50 on Silkwood, and says that seeing that he is so near coming out even he will quit now.

LATEST NEWS NOTES AND GOSSIP FROM OUR FLOURISHING NEIGHBOR. Land for rent around this burg is rapidly disappearing. The entire La Habra valley has been rented for the coming year. Nearly all the land was taken before this year's crop was threshed. P. A. Schumacher, our enterprising nurseryman, is budding some 60,000 seedling peaches this fall. His nursery stock looks fine and shows how admirably our soil is suited for all kinds of fruits. Mr. Holverson is having his house repainted. Mosara Clark & Canfield of Orange are doing the job. They are Al workmen, and are making a decided improvement in the looks of the house. Mr. Holverson has one of the nearest residences on Commonwealth avenue. A contemplated hunting trip by two of our young nimrods failed to come off. What's the matter, boys? Rav, N. G. Cowan has been appointed by the Methodist conference as preacher in charge of Anaheim and Fullerton. He will preach his first sermon in Fullerton next Sunday morning and in Anaheim in the afternoon at 3 in the M. E. Church. We are glad to see Anaheim nail the best sugar factory. The more manufactories we can get in this part of the country the better, but when one like the sugar factory comes along and enables the farmer to dispose of his crop at a good profitable figure and then allows him to share in the bounties and profits, it comes as near to being an Aldin's lamp as he may hope to possess on this mundane sphere. There is no worry in determining what crop to plant in order to make a living if one owns stock in the factory. He knows what to plant and approximately how much it will yield, and how much he will get for it when harvested, and no worry for a market. Truly co-operation is a great thing and the Anaheim Co-operative Beet Sugar Factory is a blessing to all ranchers in this valley. Improvement is the order of the day. Push along the good work. The Gazette has been a powerful factor in the bringing about of this great enterprise and deserves universal commendation for its activity and push. Why in the name of all that's good, bad and indifferent don't the people of this vicinity form a cemetery association, purchase a suitable tract of ground and have a come- DEATH. SCHUMACHER—In this city, October 1st, Bertha Schumacher, infant daughter of Mr. and Mrs. William Schumacher, aged 3 months. Kleinigkeiten. Oh, say, did you drop your wad at the races?

The members of the Turn Verein met at the Opera-house on Sunday afternoon and will meet again next Sunday afternoon to formulate by-laws and provide for a permanent organization. Pellegrin & Son have something interesting to say to intending purchasers of pianos and organs in their advertisement which appears elsewhere in this issue.

We understand immediate possession will be given the purchasers, one of whom left for his eastern home as soon as the trade was consummated, to arrange his business affairs so that he may take up his permanent residence here. The Legislative Act to refund the State debt will be found printed on the fourth page this morning.

Dickel and Pfeninger have been appointed a committee to solicit subscriptions for the purpose of putting down an artesian well on the forty-acre tract below the Dreyfus winery, donated by our citizens to the sugar factory as a site for the refinery buildings.

Cahen has just received a new and well-selected stock of dry goods which, in addition to his large stock of groceries, is now on display and ready for inspection.

There is more joy in a printing office over one sinner who pays in advance and abuses the editor on every occasion, than ninety and nine who borrow the paper and sing its praises without contributing a cent to keep it out of the poor-house. Blessed are the meek, for they shall inherit the earth, and obtain material for fencing it on time and without security. William Schumacher is again engaged in shooting birds for the market, the closed season having expired on the last instant.
