LATE NEWS OF THE WEEK City Trustees Discuss Electric Lighting. Meeting of the Directors in the Irrigation District and Water Company—Calling in Money for the Beet Sugar Refinery—Letter From Buena Park—Social News and Personal Mention. The Board of Trustees met in regular session at the City Hall on Tuesday evening. Present, Trustees Witte, Schindler, Rust and Pellegrin. The Clerk read the minutes of the last regular meeting, which were approved. The matter of appropriating $200 for the levee fund first engrossed the board's attention. It was decided that the Clerk be instructed to insert in the minutes of the last regular meeting that the warrant should not be drawn until guarantee was given from the twenty signers asking for the appropriation that they would be responsible for the money appropriated should a question arise about its legality. The electric light question next came up for discussion. The Clerk was instructed to notify Mr. Peck of Los Angeles to come down and interview the Finance Committee in regard to his proposition and perfect the necessary arrangements about the establishment of the plant in this city. The Finance Committee was granted further time to report on the collection of taxes. The Committee on Public Improvements reported progress in the various matters claiming its attention. The Marshal was instructed to get the Attorney's opinion in regard to shutting off city water on the premises of property owners who do not pay for the same—those who have lately put down wells on their several tracks are the ones in view. He will see that all faucets are removed, and plugs put in to stop the use of the city water in those places. Buena Park Items. At a recent business meeting of the Y. P. S. C. E. the following officers were elected for the next six months: George Caldwell, President; Miss Eva Archibald, Vice President; Miss Maybelle Young, Secretary; Miss Florence McCullough, Corresponding Secretary; John Tanner, Treasurer. Active committees were formed and it is anticipated the Anaheim Opera-house for Saturday night, the 10th instant, is one which our people, young and old, can thoroughly appreciate and enjoy. It is unnecessary to publish many testimonials in regard to the company, as they are too well known (they were formerly known as Goodyear, Ellitch & Schilling)'s to all lovers of a moral, high-class and enjoyable ministrel show. The company carry 28 people, every one of whom is under contract to appear in this city. They have elegant new costumes, special scenery, a first-class silver cornet band and give a street parade which is well worth seeing. Their performance is varied enough to suit all tastes and nothing said or done can offend the most critical. Give them a big turn-out—they deserve it. Irrigation District.

From the Orange county edition of the Los Angeles Herald, issued last Thursday, and which was a very creditable number of that enterprising newspaper, we take the following pleasant mention of this city: Anahaeum is one of the oldest settled modern colonies in Southern California. The town is second in size in the county, and the richest in comparison to population. Anahaeum is largely made up of the German-Americans; aturdy, pleasure-loving, thrity people; as energetic as they are economical; as intellectual as they are moral; in fact, they are representatives of a people who always excel in everything. Fruit-growing is the chief industry, but it is here that the great boot-sugar industry has taken root, and is fated to revolutionize the commercial position of Southern California. Anahaeum enjoys a splendid water supply for irrigating her orchards and other lands; ample railway facilities, both the Santa Fe Adjourned. Water Company. The Board of Directors of the Anaheim Water Company met in regular session on Saturday, Col. Tuffree in the chair. Present, Directors Tuffree, Amerige, Rust, Zoyn and Spencer. Absent, Directors McFadden and Strain. Reports from the Secretary and Treasurer were received and filed. The Treasurer reported a balance of $2,657 04 on hand in favor of the company. A warrant was drawn in favor of Mr. Arimond for $55, interest on note. The board decided to rent Mr. Woodward five acres of the company's land up the ditch, at the rate of $1 per acre, the same to be used for raising vegetables and pasture. The action of the President and Secretary in issuing notes to Mrs. Bishop, Mrs. Oswald and Mrs. Werner was approved.

Superintendent Sheppard submitted his report, which was filed.

The Native Daughters are making extended preparations for their New Year's ball, to be given at the Opera-house on the evening of Friday the 30th. Although the date is necessarily placed one day ahead of the usual time, the ladies, figuratively speaking, calculate to dance the old year out and the new year in. The ball will not be one of your leap year affairs, with the girls doing the inviting, as had been erroneously supposed; and those youngsters who have been waiting for an invitation from some fair charmer are reduced to the necessity of getting on a hustle and going out and finding some one to invite themselves. The indications are that the ball will be a very enjoyable affair. Married.

The town is second in size in the county, and the richest in comparison to population. Anaheim is largely made up of the German-Americans; sturdy, pleasure-loving, thrifty people; as energetic as they are economical; as intellectual as they are moral; in fact, they are representatives of a people who always excel in everything. Fruit-growing is the chief industry, but it is here that the great beet-sugar industry has taken root, and is fated to revolutionize the commercial position of Southern California. Anaheim enjoys a splendid water supply for irrigating her orchards and other lands; ample railway facilities, both the Santa Fe and Southern Pacific entering her gates, one at each extremity. A splendid city government and an energetic class of citizens. In the Anaheim district oranges and grapes were the original products, but the cultivation of walnuts and deciduous fruits, peanuts and vegetables have entered largely into the shipments abroad of late years. Vegetables are superior here to many places, while corns give the greatest returns where given space; but land is too valuable for fruit growing to give up much space to cereals, even with large yields. Calling the Money In. The following circular has been sent to the stockholders in the Co-operative Beet Sugar Company: ANAHEIM, Cal., Dec. 3, 1892. The Directors of the Anaheim Co-operative Beet Sugar Company to the stockholders of the same company, greeting: It gives your Directors pleasure to inform you that at last sufficient stock has been subscribed to insure the growth of enough beets to guarantee the success of the Anaheim Co-operative Beet Sugar Company. And it also gives us pleasure to say that all the preliminary arrangements necessary for the erection of the refinery are being carefully looked after and pushed as rapidly as possible. But at this juncture we find it very necessary to have money for the immediate purchase of beet seed, the issuing of bonds and other preliminary expenses. Therefore, it has been resolved by your Directors to issue a call for the payment of $2 per share upon all stock, and they respectfully request that each stockholder pay the same to the Treasurer, Plez James, at the Bank of Anaheim. Stock certificates will be issued by the Secretary of the company as soon as the title certificates are received from the Abstract Company. A. RIMPAU, Secretary. Schilling's Famous Minstrels.

Harker's Harness Shop. We dropped on our friend W. R. Harker the other day and found bim head over heels in business. He carries one of the largest and best assorted stocks of harness and saddlery to be found in this county, and we may add in adjoining counties. He has lately added a large and complete stock of robes, blankets, brushes, whips, etc., to his well arranged store and is now prepared to give his many customers bargains in his line of goods. Mr. Harker has spared no pains to make his harness shop one of the best in the county, and is deserving of a liberal patronage from the public. In conjunction with his harness trade he has entered largely into the real estate business and has a large and varied list of property for sale and exchange. He respectfully solicits correspondence from real estate buyers and should be given a call for anything in his line of business.

Kuapp of San Francisco, who was remembered by many of our readers having come to Anaheim with Mr. Ryan at the time of the latter's purchase of his orange grove at Brookhurst some years ago, went in town on Tuesday on a short business trip to Mr. Kuapp owns an extensive tract of land in the Kaerma ranch, and his visit here was for the purpose of paying his taxes in irrigation district. He is a prominent real estate dealer of San Francisco, and probably interested as much Eastern capital in California as any real estate dealer on Coast. He is very favorably impressed with our section, and we should not be surprised to hear of him one day taking up his residence permanently amongst us. C.C. Haley of San Francisco—Six Louisiana Volunteers — representing the well-known printing and publishing house of H.S.Crocker & Co., was in town early part of the week on his regular quarterly visit.

Lionel Browning returned on Monday from his trip to Tacoma and the Puget Sound country. He came down on a sailboat, a three-masted schooner, and twenty-two days on the trip from Tacoma to San Pedro. The vessel built strong head-winds all the way down, and the voyage was rough on account of its boisterous weather. The trip north made in seventeen days, the weather been favorable all the way but Lionel happened to a mishap on the trip that he not like soon to forget. He fell overboard, and for the fact that he is an exceedingly good swimmer would have drowned. He rescued, however, without much difficulty and now looks back at his experience as novel one. He is outspoken in his praise for northern country, but is pleased to back home again. ONAL MELANGE. Isaac Lyons, ... Dealer In... Groceries, -: Provisions!
