LATE NEWS OF THE WEEK Selection of the Site for the Sugar Refinery. Over Twenty-Seven Hundred Acres Bought and Deeded In—Work on the Refinery to Begin Early Next Month—To Be in Running Order for This Season's Heet Crop—Other Items—Correspondence—Petite Diner—Target Practice—Social Notes. The Directors of the co operative sugar refinery hold a meeting last Saturday afternoon and selected a site for the location of the refinery buildings. The site selected is the forty-acre tract offered by Stanton & Van Alstine in Section 17, northeast of Ball's place, and a mile southwest of the Southern Pacific depot. Several other sites were considered, among them that below the Dreyfus winery and that offered by Tim Carroll near his big well west of town, mention of both of which has already been made in these columns. The proposition of Stanton & Van Alstine is to donate forty acres for the factory site free, and to furnish a sufficient volume of artesian water to supply the needs of the refinery. They are to put down an artesian well and secure a two-inch flow over a seven-inch pipe projecting two feet out of the ground. In case of their getting a sufficient flow they are to be reimbursed by the corporation for their outlay. Mr. Capitain moved the acceptance of the proposition, which was carried, if no water is secured, another site will be selected. Subsequently the Directors, with a few invited friends, went on a drive over the tract to select the site for the buildings and the artesian well. The day was windy, but no attention was paid to the blow, and the sites were selected on this end of the treat. Yesterday Mr. Howell, the well-known well borer, began operations on the well. He is very sanguine of obtaining a good flow of water. Work on the refinery buildings will be commenced by the first of the year, and the factory will be up in time to handle the coming season's beet crop. The Directors met again on Tuesday, their regular meeting day, and signed the contract with Mr. Howell for the boring of the well, and ordered enough beet food combining the farmers expect to get a higher price for all products and get a small share of the profits, instead of letting the middlemen get it all and dictate to the grower what they will pay him and to the consumer what he shall pay; this is played out. While we do not propose to go beyond reason, yet we must have all the market will bear. The recent wind did very little damage, excepting to Mr. Potts' residence, which it unroofed. Mr. Potts was obliged to go in search of it with a lautern, and succeeded in locating it after some trouble. The fumigators are about closing up their laborers. They have been at work over since last July. Messrs. Forbes and Dixon are now having their orchard fumigated. The road overseer has been grading up some of our roads and we are very grateful. A large acreage of barley is being sown. The Christmas cantata is progressing lively and all are expecting a good time and some fine acting. The Editorial Visit. There will be a meeting of the ladies of this city and vicinity to-morrow (Friday) afternoon at 2 o'clock at the residence of Mrs. Melrose on Adelae street for the purpose of preparing a programme of entertainment to be extended to the members of the Southern California Editorial Association, who will be in Anaheim on the afternoon of Wednesday, January 11th next. Many ladies will accompany the association on their visit here, and it is intended to accord them such an hospitable welcome as will make their visit one long to be remembered. A very cordial invitation is extended all ladies of this city and surrounding country to be present and assist in making the editorial visit a complete success in every particular. The editorial party will come in a special train, arriving here probably a hundred strong at about noon. It is desired that a sufficient number of carriages be at the depot to accommodate the party on a drive about the city. Those of our citizens who have a buggy or carriage to place at the editors' disposal for the afternoon may leave their names at this office. We mean to extend the editorial party an hospitable welcome, and to give them one of the most pleasant afternoons they have yet enjoyed since the inception of their organization. The people of this city can do it, and we look for them to do it with their customary spirit. There will be a lunch on their arrival here, after which a ride to points of interest in the neighborhood. Every one in the valley is hereby constituted a committee of one to help make the afternoon a pleasant one for our distinguished visitors. Pettee Diner.

The New SUBSEQUENTLY the Directors, with a few invited friends, went on a drive over the tract to select the site for the buildings and the artesian well. The day was windy, but no attention was paid to the blow, and the sites were selected on this end of the trast. Yesterday Mr. Howell, the well-known well borer, began operations on the well. He is very sanguine of obtaining a good flow of water. Work on the refinery buildings will be commenced by the first of the year, and the factory will be up in time to handle the coming season's boat crop. The Directors met again on Tuesday, their regular meeting day, and signed the contract with Mr. Howell for the boring of the well, and ordered enough boat seed for the coming campaign. After discussing various matters that claimed their attention, and deciding to hold a grand ratification meeting at the Opera-house on the afternoon of the 28th instant, the board adjourned. By advertisement elsewhere the boat sugar company announces that they will have on January 10th next, about 1,200 acres of the very best boat land to rent. Applicants for this land will acquire all information by calling on or addressing the Secretary, Adolph Rimpan. While the site selected is not as near town as we should like to have it, still no objection is made to the board's action in the matter. The site is near enough to Anaheim to bring all the business here, and that is enough glory for one day. Our people have worked very hard for the success of the refinery, and there was really no one wedded to any site at all. Of course we wanted it as near town as possible, but since the selection has been made it is satisfactory all around. Undoubtedly the street car line will be extended to the refinery, and possibly it will be turned into an electric road. Since the meeting of stockholders held on Saturday of last week, and up to yesterday at noon, seven hundred and fifteen acres of land had been purchased and deeded into the refinery corporation. At $35 per acre this represents an outlay of $25,025. The Farmers & Merchants' Bank of Los Angeles has consented to act in trust for this acreage, thereby facilitating the transfer of the property and helping along the consummation of the enterprise. Yesterday afternoon there were in the neighborhood of 2,700 acres bought and deeded into the corporation, and as it is necessary to have 3,000 acres to insure the success of the factory, it will be seen that the goal is not far distant. The people are to be heartily congratulated on the result. A grand jollification meeting will be held in the Opera-house on Wednesday afternoon next, to celebrate the consumption of the enterprise. A cordial invitation is extended everybody to be present. Mr. Capitain will establish an office at the refinery site on Monday. WATER COMPANY. AN ASSESSMENT OF $1 PER SHARE LEVIED, PAYABLE JANUARY 21ST. The Board of Directors of the Anaheim Water Company met in regular session on Saturday. Present—Directors McFadden, Rust, Tuffree, Zeyn, Amerige and Spencer. Absent—Director Strain. The committee on by-laws were given further time in which to report, but were requested to have their report in by the next meeting. A communication was received from Peter Arimond, asking for $650 to apply on his names at this once. We mean to extend the editorial party an hospitable welcome, and to give them one of the most pleasant afternoons they have yet enjoyed since the inception of their organization. The people of this city can do it, and we look for them to do it with their customary spirit. There will be a lunch on their arrival here, after which a ride to points of interest in the neighborhood. Every one in the valley is hereby constituted a committee of one to help make the afternoon a pleasant one for our distinguished visitors. PETITE DINER One of the most enjoyable diners ever sat down to in this city was that given by Mr. and Mrs. John Hartung at their residence on Sunday evening in honor of the convulsions of Mr. Hartung. It was just two months since Mr. Hartung had been taken down with his recent severe illness, and his restoration to health was celebrated by members of his family and a limited number of his friends. Following is the menu: Huitres en Coquilles. Vin. Haut Sauteure. Supee. Consomme en Tasses. Entrees. Canards farcis aux Olives, Pommes de terre Souffees, Petits Poils.

After the discussion of the sumptuous repast, which consumed the greater part of the evening, the time was taken up with song and story, and the host was made to feel that it was good to be well again. Impromptu toasts were responded to, and the evening was turned into an occasion long to be remembered. Those present were Mr. and Mrs. Hartung, Madame Chevalier and Miss Alice Chevalier, Dr. Naileau of Los Angeles, Dr. Ballard, Mr. Melrose, Mr. Dickel, Mr. Caben and Heury Kuchel of THE GAZETTE. Serious Accident. While at work graveling Center street near the Santa Fe depot last Friday afternoon Henry Boege's spirited team became frightened and started to run away. They bolted down Center street, and when near the City Hall Mr. Boege was thrown violently to the ground, sustaining injuries which have since kept him to his bed. In falling he was thrown against the wheels, which passed over him; cutting him very badly about the arms, head, and body. He made his way to the corner of Hermine street, where he fell exhausted to the sidewalk and fainted. Friends ran to his assistance and Dr. Bullard was hastily summoned. The injured man was removed to the Doctor's residence, where his hurts were attended to. It was found that no bones had been broken, but that very serious injuries had been sustained. Mr. Boege has been resting quietly during the week and 'is now well on the road to recovery. The Southern Pacific Company for Christmas has prepared a great attraction at Voit Bentz, S. L.Walker.

Director Spencer read the report of his trip of observation to the Cajon canal. Filed. The board decided to build a sluice gate at Horseshoe Bend, the work to be done by Gates & Williams for $248, and to be under the supervision of Engineer Kellogg. An assessment of $1 per share was levied on the capital stock of the company, payable on or before January 21st next. The matter of the ditch leading to the property of Huch Bros., and running through lands belonging to Time Lynch, and which Mr. Lynch desires to plow in, was referred to Attorney Melrose for his opinion in the premises. Mr. Porter addressed the board in the matter of the ditch running along the north side of his place. Mr. Sheppard also referred to the same matter. Mr. Sheppard gave a report of the progress of work on fill at Flume 9. A fill was ordered constructed to replace Flume 12, and a cut made near that point.

By —The Southern Pacific Company for Christmas has prepared a great attraction at the mammoth wharf at Santa Monica, in the shape of an exhibition by Professor Colin Thomson, who so successfully rode through the breakers of the Golden Gate on the 19th ult., on his now famous sea bicycle and whose exploits were spoken of in such glowing terms by the San Francisco papers. The Professor will make a start from the wharf at 2:30 p.m. on Christmas day, and after maneuvering his apparatus about the wharf will proceed to sea, and while at sea will capsize, right and ride his bicycle back again to show its availability in case of shipwreck. The boat is novel in design, non-sinkable, and according to the Life Saving Service men who saw the trial trip in San Francisco, a revolution in naval architecture, in so far as the saving of life and property from wrecks at sea is concerned. There will be reduced rates for this occasion, the tickets being sold on Dec. 24th and 25th, and good to return on the 26th. Stern & Goodman.

There will be service in St. Michael's Episcopal Church on Sunday evening next, being Christmas Day, at 7 o'clock, instead of at 2:30 p.m. The Southern Pacific train for Los Angeles passes this point at 8:13 a.m. now, and goes south at 10:40 a.m. The change is greatly appreciated by the traveling public. Quite a number of Anaheimers wont up to Los Angeles on Monday on business visits. Among those noted were Marshal Steadman, Velt Bentz, S. Littlefield, Mr. Fay and M. W. Walker. There will be a Christmas tree and Christmas exercises at the German Evangelical Church on Center street next Sunday evening. A cordial invitation is extended all to attend. Mr. Chynoweth has moved into Mr. Luedke's cottage on Center street. He expects his sister shortly to arrive from the East; to take up her permanent residence here. The Orange News has entered upon its fifth volume with bright prospects for the future. The News is one of the best papers. They have met with encouragement and will return in a few days to carry out the details of the business. With the sugar factory going up and other improvements going ahead, electric lights are in order, and our business men should see to it that we have the same at no distant day. Tim Carroll informs us that if no artesian water is struck on the tract on Section 17 selected as the site for the best sugar refinery, he has a tract with a well in flowing two million gallons of water daily, which the refinery Directors will be invited to take a look at when it is flowing its full volume. We paid a visit to T. S. Grimshaw's planing and grist mill at Fullerton one day last week, and found all hands busily engaged in the various departments of that establishment. The work turned out by Mr. Grimshaw is all of first-class quality, and his grist mill is one of the leading branches of business in this section. Corn is shelled and shipped on short notice and satisfaction is guaranteed in every case. All kinds of fruit boxes are made to order and a general lumber business is transacted. See his advertisement in another column this morning. The Southern Pacific Company have been very prompt in rendering aid to our citizens toward the Santa Ana river improvement. December 7th Agent Darling subscribed $150 for the work and paid it over to Mr. Langenberger on December 16th. This act, coupled with their payment of $25 per month to the Anaheim Street Railway Company for the past two years, is very much appreciated by the people of Anaheim and vicinity. Elsewhere will be found the advertisement of P. A. Schumacher's Orange County Nurseries, situated at Fullerton. Mr. Schumacher is a wholesale and retail dealer in orange and lemon trees and keeps on hand all kinds of deciduous fruit trees, ornamental trees, and flowers, his stock of roses being one of the finest in Southern California. He has recently enlarged his nurseries by the addition of thirty-five acres of stock, and is better prepared than ever to suit the needs of the purchasing public. S. E. Kieffer has executed a kodak photograph of Secretary Darwood of the irrigation district, which, barring the feet, is a very good counterfeit presentment of that gentleman. The camera slipped a cog when it came to the foot, and consequently they appear the size of a Beat Land pumpkin, life size. The soles advantageously displayed in the foreground, bear the inscription, "Post No Bills," and in the deep background Garwood apparsa enveloped or with a pale cast of thought. No one would ever charge him with having set a higher share of the profits over the prospects for early completion of the rebuilding project. PERSONAL MELANGER Miss E. T. Cox of Buena Park was in city on a short visit on Tuesday, the guild of Mrs. Lewis. Mr. and Mrs. Adolph Thomass were done from Los Angeles on Sunday on a visit relatives and friends here. District Attorney Sanborn was in town a business trip last Saturday and made pleasant call at this office. H. A. McWilliams has been quite easily indisposed during the week, but we yesterday able to be out again. Miss Fanny Higgins, who has been spending the summer with relatives and friends San Francisco, has returned to her home this city. Prof. B. R. Grogan leaves on Monday where he goes to attend the meeting of the State Teachers' Association. He will be absent four or five days. Frank Schaumburger has been trying to hand at the window display at Cahen's store. He has been eminently successful, and this display is a sign of beauty. J. P. Twomoy of Santa Ana, representing the well-known farming implement house Lutz & Twomoy of that place, was in town on Tuesday and made a pleasant call this office. G. L. Arnold, the well-known Los Angeles banker, and Ben E. Ward, the real estate speculator of that city, were in town on Monday and attended the meeting of the irrigation board. E. S. Wallace, the Santa Ana correspondent of the Los Angeles Times, was in town early Tuesday morning on a flying business visit. Mr. Wallace's department on the Times one of the interesting features of that paper. Engineer Kellogg is engaged in making map of the new semery at South River side. Judging by the appearance of the handsome burial place death will be robbed of a large per cent of its terrors over that way. M. A. Powell, the extensive wine dealer of Los Angeles, was in town yesterday after noon. Mr. Powell is building up an extensive trade in California wines and has one of the largest wholesale houses in the Angel City. Mr Bill was in town from Garden Grove yesterday and informs us that one heart nothing but best sugar down his way. The farmers are jubilant over the prospects for early completion of the rebuilding project... There will be a Christmas tree and Christmas exercises at the German Evangelical Church on Center street next Sunday evening. A cordial invitation is extended all to attend. Mr. Chynoweth has moved into Mr. Luedke's cottage on Center street. He expects his sister shortly to arrive from the East, to take up her permanent residence here. The Orange News has entered upon its fifth volume with bright prospects for the future. The News is one of the best papers that comes to our exchange table, we always look for it, and are glad to note its evidences of prosperity. The jury in the case of the People vs. Sam Finley, charged with an attempt to kill old man Moulin, disagreed in the Superior Court at Santa Ana last week, standing six for conviction and six for acquittal. The teachers and pupils of the Presbyterian Sunday school are busy rehearsing for a Christmas entertainment to be given at the church to-morrow evening. The little ones are taking a great interest in the rehearsals. Lot 24 of the Anaheim Extension tract, situated cast of town, containing thirty-one acres, has been purchased by Dr. Pfeninger, Fritz Ruhmann, Charley Neip, and Prof. Franz Nebelung, and will be deeded into the sugar refinery corporation. The tract will be set to beets. In another column will be found the call for the annual meeting of stockholders in the Anaheim Water Company. The meeting will be held on Saturday, January 28th, and a full Board of Directors will be elected to serve for the ensuing year. The wind of last week did no damage here, no oranges being blown from the trees. At different points in the San Gabriel valley twenty-five per cent of the orange crop was destroyed, while at Riverside the loss must have also been considerable. Roadmaster Porter has been strengthening the approaches to the sand-wash bridge in anticipation of the winter rains. He is to be congratulated on the good condition of the roads in his district—they are the best in the county. Mr. Porter is a first-class roadmaster, and when he undertakes a job it is executed in first-class style. Attention is directed to the change in the advertisement of A. Henderson, the wide-awake Fullerton blacksmith, which will be found in another column this morning. Mr. Henderson has lately put in a large stock of farming implements and is prepared to give his customers good bargains in that line. Miss Hartley took a number of her scholars to Bentz & Steadman's slaughterhouse on Tuesday for the purpose of instructing them in physiology. The scholars came near stampeding as Big Bentz was in the act of "appearing" one of the boeves, but they finally overcame their fright, and took quite an interest in their new study, which was intelligently explained to them by their teacher. The case of Thomas J. House and wife against Marius Meyer, for damages sustained in a runaway accident, resulted last week in the jury bringing in a verdict for plaintiff in the amount of $2,500. Judge Shaw of the Los Angeles court has executed a kodak photograph of Secretary Garwood of the irrigation district, which barring the feet is a very good counterfeit presentment of that gentleman. The camera slipped a cog when it came to the feet, and consequently they appear the size of a Beat Land pumpkin, life size. The soles advantageously displayed in the foreground, bear the inscription, "Post No Bills," and in the deep background Garwood appears enveloped o'er with a pale cast of thought. No one would ever charge him with having padals like Cinderella's, but in this instance the camera has rather crowded the mourners. But all's well that ends well. Judge Towner has denied the motion for a new trial in the case of the Anaheim Water Company vs. J. S. Gardiner and his bondmen, Leonard Parker and D. J. Kracer. A stay of proceedings for ten days was granted. The defendant bondmen will now have to pay the amount of their principal's deficiency, amounting to $1,200 and costs of suit, or take an appeal to the Supreme Court, in which event they will be required to file a bond in double the amount sued for. W.J. Smith was in town one of the windy days last week to see whether it was blowing any. He informs us that he can come pretty near telling when a Santa Ana is due to arrive, by the section of hogs on the ranch. Long before the wind comes over the hills the porkers get together and gather up all kinds of brush and place it in embankments, under which they lie when it blows. Those pigs have great beads, and are not only the tattest in the land, but possess a very intellectual quality besides, and should bring an added price on account of being sure shots as wind barometers. Horace W. Green, who lived here during the palmy days of the Carlton boom, and who will be pleasurably remembered by many of our readers, has been in the city during the week renewing old acquaintances. Mr. Green since leaving Anaheim some four years ago has resided in Victoria, British Columbia, where he engaged in the carpenter and contracting business. Last year he paid a visit to his old home in England. Mr. Green finds many improvements that have gone up here during his absence, and is glad to get back among his old friends. He will remain for a few days and will then take his departure for the north. The complaint in the suit of the Anaheim Water Company and the Santa Ana Valley Irrigation District against the Jurupa irrigators, to prevent the diversion of water up the river, will probably be ready to file this week. There will be upwards of two hundred defendants to the action, the attorneys for the plaintiff having determined to adjudicate upon the claims of all irrigators taking water from the river below the riverside dam and south as far as the Orange county line, near Rincon. The case promises to be one of the most interesting in the annals of irrigation law suits over tried in this State. Messra Littlefield, Morgan, and Walker returned last week from their trip to the New River country, since which time they have been busy recounting their adventures with bears and deer and various other game of high and low degree. They report having had a very pleasant experience. By judging by the appearance of their bandsome burial place death will be robbed of a large per cent of its terrors over this way. M.A. Powell, the extensive wine dealer of Los Angeles, was in town yesterday afternoon. Mr. Powell is building up an extensive trade in California wines and has one of the largest wholesale houses in the Angel City. Mr. Bill was in town from Garden Grove yesterday and informs us that one heart nothing but beet sugar down his way. The farmers are jubilant over the prospects for the early completion of the refinery and will go into beet raising to the exclusion of other nopaying cereal crops. J.W. Hinton, City Assessor of Los Angeles, who owns an orange orchard at Plainville, was in town on Tuesday afternoon. Mr. Hinton is having his house repaired and repaired and is otherwise improving the premises. E.K. Collins, the well-known orange buyer, who has spent several seasons with us in the past, has returned and will remain during the present orange-buying season. He is accompanied by Mrs. Collins, and both will be warmly welcomed by their many friends here. Ed Morgan brought back with him a very fine specimen of the desert cactus from his recent trip to the New River country. He didn't bring back any venison, as it against the law of the land to shoot deer but he says he is ready to go out and kill bear for the delectation of the editors' appetites when they get here next month. Judge T.K. Wilson was down from Los Angeles on Monday in attendance upon this special meeting of the irrigation district. The Judge went over to Santa Ana to be present at the suit of Amerige vs. the district, which was postponed until today. He will be down again this morning to tend to the district's end of the case, and have every confidence of winning the suit. Coroner Ey was over from Santa Ana yes-today afternoon. He has located five Santa Ana families here in the past few days, selling them ten acres each. One family will live in town, and four will raise sugar bales on lands west of town. The Coroner is a rustler, and informs us that he will have two more families here inside on the next few days. C.W.Burns and Leopold Goepper were over from Santa Ana on Tuesday in this interest of the Santa Ana Steam Laundry. This laundry is building up a very fine reputation for the superior quality of its work, and is meeting with a big trade all over the county. Their laundry wagon will be in Anaheim Tuesdays and Saturdays to gather up and deliver clothes. They guarantee first-class work and low prices. Ed Atherton was in from the ostrich farm on Monday and reports the birds, of which there are 107 onthe farm,all doing well.Ho lost two grown birds on Sunday,however,一of them dying from natural causes andthe other breaking its neck by getting its head caught in a fork in the limbs of a tree.The bird had been investigatingthe branches ofthe tree when it caught its neckinthe manner statedandwas killed assistance could reach it. Our good-looking young friend R.W.Richardson was over from Fallenleigh Miss Hartley took a number of her scholars to Bentz & Steadman's slaughter-house on Tuesday for the purpose of instructing them in physiology. The scholars came near stampeding as Big Bentz was in the act of "spearing" one of the beavers, but they finally overcame their fright, and took quite an interest in their new study, which was intelligently explained to them by their teacher. The case of Thomas J. House and wife for Marius Meyer, for damages sustained in a runaway accident, resulted last week in the jury bringing in a verdict for plaintiff in the amount of $2,500. Judge Shaw of the Los Angeles Superior Court, before whom the case was tried, ordered a stay of execution for thirty days. Prot.
