HAPPENINGS OF THE WEEK The People Jollify Over the Sugar Refinery. Twenty-Eight Hundred Acres Subscribed and Deeded—Nenning the High-Water Mark—Minutes of the City Trustees—The Editors Coming Hymeneal Altar—Correspondence—Social News and Personal Mention. A grand jollification meeting was held at the Opera-house yesterday afternoon to celebrate the completion of the first stop in the work of the establishment of the co-operative sugar refinery here. It was announced that between 2,700 and 2,800 acres had been deeded into the corporation, and the necessary balance was being secured so rapidly that no room was left to doubt that the refinery would be erected in time for the handling of this season's best crop. The work of canvassing for shares had about been completed, and those who had been in charge of the enterprise were ready to give an account of their stewardship. The hall was crowded with people when Mr. Jones called the meeting to order, shortly after 3 o'clock. Mr. Capitain was the first speaker. He said that from the very beginning of the enterprise the people at Anaheim had shown a spirit of co-operation. They had done their duty, and now are in a position to reap the benefit that will accrue to them by the establishment of the enterprise. He referred at length to the great good that would accrue to the entire section by the sugar refinery. There were only six beet sugar factories in operation in the United States, he said, and these are controlled by the monopolists. This refinery will be co-operative, and be controlled by the farmers. The farmers are the mainstays of the refineries now in existence, yet they reap none of the profits, which are turned into the coffers of the capitalists. Here it will be different; the farmers will get what reasonably belongs to them—pay for the beets and share in the profits of the refinery. Between 2,700 and 2,800 acres had been deeded in, and the balance would be secured within the week. He had collected over $10,000 for land within the last six days, and over $2,000 for beet seed. Twenty-five tons of beet seed had been ordered from Germany, and would be here between the lat and 15th of February. During the business session at Santa Ana in the evening the following interesting topics will be read, after which each topic will be open for general discussion: "News-paper Advertising—How to Get it and How to Keep It." "Subscription List—How to Obtain It and How to Retain It." "Neatness In Newspaper Work." "Newspaper Advertising Agencies." Every member of the association is requested to come prepared to discuss the subjects after the reading of each of the papers. City Trustees. The Board of Trustees met in regular session in the City Hall on Tuesday evening. Full board present. The minutes of the last regular meeting were read and approved. The Finance Committee's report was received and filed. In regard to the electric light proposition the committee reported that a stock company composed of citizens would in all probability be formed for the purpose of furnishing electricity for the city. The project was freely discussed by the members of the board. Mr. Peck's proposition was also discussed. The Clerk was instructed to write to that gentleman and secure a definite proposition from him in writing, in order that the city might know how to act in the matter. It was further ordered that the Clerk write to all interested parties who have already made propositions to the board in regard to the electric light franchise, requesting them to be in person with their propositions in writing at the next regular meeting, so that the matter may be speedily settled. The Chairman of the Committee on Public Improvements reported in regard to street work. He was ordered to use the street scarer to keep down weeds on the highways. He was also authorized to grade that portion of West street near the S. P. tract, in conjunction with the county—as the road there intersects with the county's highway—provided the price of the work is not too high. The Committee was asked to furnish estimates for the grading of the east end of Center street, and report at the next regular meeting. The petition signed by twenty citizens asking for the donation of $200 for the levee fund was again presented, the petitioners agreeing to make the amount good should action be brought to compel the board to replace the money in the city treasury. The Clerk was ordered to draw a warrant for the amount and the President was authorized to sign the same. It was ordered that the city allow Nightwatchman Robinson $2 per month for services as watchman. The board requests he said, and these are controlled by the monopolists. This refinery will be co-operative, and be controlled by the farmers. The farmers are the mainstays of the refineries now in existence, yet they reap none of the profits, which are turned into the coffers of the capitalists. Here it will be different; the farmers will get what reasonably belongs to them—pay for the beets and ghee in the profits of the refinery. Between 2,700 and 2,800 acres had been deeded in, and the balance would be secured within the week. He had collected over $10,000 for land within the last six days, and over $2,000 for beet seed. Twenty-five tons of beet seed had been ordered from Germany, and would be here between the 1st and 15th of February. General Pierce was then introduced, and delivered a very eloquent speech in going over the ground that led up to the consumption of the enterprise. He said that in another week the Directors would be ready to announce that $400,000 of the bonds of the corporation had been disposed of. Eager investors were after them, and everything pointed to the fact that they would be disposed of satisfactorily. The establishment of the refinery would mark the dawn of a new era here. It would give our farmers a home market for their products and make money plenty. He thought that in the coming time there would be a refinery for every five or six thousand acres in the valley. After explaining the nature of the assessments, which were made for the purchase of beet seed, the General closed in a brilliant peroration that was greeted with loud and prolonged applause. Col. Dan Baker was the next speaker, and began by saying that he paid the bulk of his taxes here. He paid a glowing tribute to the labors of the pioneers, and counselled them to do all in their power to help the refinery along. This was the finest sugar beet country in the world, and there could be no doubt as to the success of the refinery. After the Colonel's speech the meeting adjourned, happy in the fact that the glorious enterprise for which we have all been working for a year, is at last to be considered in the light of a living actuality Operations at the artesian well at the refinery site are being pushed rapidly ahead. Although a few days' time was lost on account of the non-receipt of pipe, Mr. Howell is making commendable headway, and says he will have a fine stream of water in a few days. Two gangs of men are kept boring night and day, and the pipe is going down with all possible dispatch. Already the site is quite an object of interest to our citizens, especially so to newcomers here, all whom manifest the keenest desire to learn all about the refinery and drive out to take a look at the site of what will be the first co-operative sugar refinery ever established in the United States. Both the Santa Fe and the Southern Pacific railroads will build branches to the refinery, and undoubtedly one or both of the roads will be extended down into the Garden Grove and Westminster country. The street car line will also probably be extended down to the refinery, and be turned into an electric road. The Coming Editors. Preparations are going actively on for the entertainment of the Southern California editors who will be with us on the afternoon of Wednesday, January 11th next. The editors will arrive at noon on a special train over the Santa Fe, and will be entertained at luncheon at Opera-house, the idea of lunching on the lawn having, on account of possible inclement weather, been abandoned. After luncheon it is desired that a sufficient On Christmas day at the residence of T. J. F. Boege, Esq., in Anaheim, the nuptial knot was tied by Judge Landell which made Godfrey Stock and Miss Mary Boege man and wife. Quite a large number of the family witnessed the ceremony and all declared that the impressive admonition of the Judge touching their administration of affairs as man and wife in their newly acquired life, was perfectly办 fait. An elegant dinner was served to the invited guests. The Anaheim band came along shortly afterward and surrounded the bride and groom, and partook of the hospitalities that the groom and his father-in-law so generously extended their guests. They gave a parting salute to the newly married couple, and to the happy music of the march from Lohengrin took their departure, bewailing the fates that had taken from us such an estimable citizen and young lady. Mr. Stock and bride left on the five o'clock train for Los Angeles. After spending their honeymoon there for a few days they will repair to the ranch in San Bernardino county, of which Godfrey is the "Major domo." Success, long life and happiness attend them. Among those present were Mr. and Mrs. Boege, Mr. Adolph Thomas and wife, Mr. H.C.Gade and wife, Mr.E.B.Johnson and wife, Mrs.Boege, Mr.Charlie Luedke and quite a number of others. Buena Park.

It was ordered that the city allow Nightwatchman Robinson $2 per month for services as watchman. The board requests him to see that the light in trust of the City Hall is lighted every night. The Fire Commissioner was authorized to move fire bell from its present location to the City Hall tower. The petition of the Savings Loan and Building Association asking for permission to meet in City Hallthe first Saturday evening in each month was received. The association was allowed to meet in the Recorder's section of the hall, provided they furnish all their supplies and keep the place in good order. The Clerk was instructed to send the Santa Fe company an itemized bill for sprinkling Center street near their depot for November. Adjourned. The Hymeneal Altar. On Christmas day at the residence of T. J.F. Boege, Esq., in Anaheim, the nuptial knot was tied by Judge Landell which made Godfrey Stock and Miss Mary Boege man and wife. Quite a large number of the family witnessed the ceremony and all declared that the impressive admonition of the Judge touching their administration of affairs as man and wife in their newly acquired life, was perfectly办 fait. An elegaut dinner was served to the invited guests.

The Coming Editors. Preparations are going actively on for the entertainment of the Southern California editors who will be with us on the afternoon of Wednesday, January 11th next. The editors will arrive at noon on a special train over the Santa Fe, and will be entertained at luncheon at the Opera-house, the idea of lunching on the lawn having, on account of possible inclement weather, been abandoned. After luncheon it is desired that a sufficient number of carriages be on hand at the Opera-house to convey the visitors on a drive to points of interest in this section. They will be driven through town, and then probably the route will be over the Sandwash bridge to Fullerton and along Commonwealth avenue to the Bottsford, Klokke, Gilman and other of the famous orange orchards at Placentia, returning to town by Placeiavenue. A trip is also being mapped out to the sugar factory, work upon which it is expected will at that time be actively under way. The editorial visit here will undoubtedly be one long to be remembered, and we desire to make it as pleasant as possible for them. Luncheon will be served by the ladies, who have very generously consented to assume that part of the afternoon's programme. The lunch will be one in every way fit to set before our distinguished visitors, and no one is to be allowed to go away unsatisfied. The ladies will call upon all those wishing to help make the affair a success, and already have met with very liberal responses from the good people of this neighborhood. A large number of carriages and vehicles have been placed at the disposal of the committee to accommodate the visitors, but more are necessary, and those wishing to lend a hand in this part of the programme may leave their names at this office. The brass band has very kindly consented to meet the editors at the depot and enlist the occasion with martial music. The band boys will be in it, as they are always on hand when any manner of entertainment is in sight. It is suggested that our liberal spirited citizens decorate their places of business in honor of the editor's visit. Santa Ana will be properly decorated, and we cannot allow our big neighbor on the other side of the river to get away with us in that line. The editorial visit here will be a notable event in our history. Let us all conspire to make the visit one long to be remembered, and to that end each one in Anaheim, Ful- The lecture by Rev. D. D. Hill of Pasadena will be given this evening (Thursday), announced last week for Wednesday. Everybody should hear this lecture on "The Irrepressible Boy." It is one of the kind that puts marrow on the bones. This evening at the Congregational Church. Last Friday morning the Whitaker family were made happy by the advent of a stranger in their midst. A daughter was born to the wife of J. Harry Whitaker. The Park is too small to hold the happy papa. Monday evening the Sunday school held their Christmas anniversaries. The church was crowded with listeners to the fine programme rendered by the Sunday school scholars, and everybody was made joyous and decided it was the best Christmas ever held here. Quite a change in a few years, when at the first Christmas entertainment the friends could only number a dozen. Frank Whitaker of Los Angeles and Mr. and Mrs. H. M. Whitaker of San Bernardino spent Christmas at the home of A. W. Whitaker. Master John Yerby spent Sunday at A. W. Whitaker's. Mr. and Mrs. Glenn were made happy by a Christmas present of a bouncing baby boy. Next Friday evening the election of officers will take place at the Congregational Church for the ensuing church year. The Condensed Milk and Coffee Factory is now under the management of J. D. Murray, who has been connected with the firm for eight years. Dick still adheres to first principles, with the addition of a little coffee. The Glee Club of Pomona College will give a fine concert at the Congregational Church January 2d. This will be a rare treat. Everybody should avail themselves of the opportunity to hear them. The schoolmarmas have all gone to their homes for the holiday vacation. Married. STOCK—BOEGE—At the residence of the bride's parents, in this city, December 25th, 1892, by Justice J. W.

Now comes Anaheim and her public spirited citizens propose to build a railroad from that city to Westminster, and no fooling. Santa Ana, twice the size of Anaheim, has been trying to organize a beet sugar factory, while Anaheim has gone to work, organized a company, which is now at work, preparing to build the factory. Will they do the same about the railroad? Can Santa Ana afford to let these improvements go by without at least a healthy effort to get them?

The orange shipping season has commenced in earnest. Los Angeles buyers are paying $3.25 a box for navels delivered at the depot in that city, which is a very satisfactory figure. The crop of navels is heavy. That of seedlings is rather light. The damage by wind and frost will not so far exceed 5 per cent of the total crop, which promises to be fully 7,000 carloads against 2,800 last year and 4,600 the year before. While impersonating Santa Claus at a Christmas tree gathering at Mr. Grimshaw's residence on Monday evening, and clad all in a beautiful costume of snowy cotton, Mr.Garwood came near being very severely burned. He was reaching to light a candle at the top of the tree when the cotton took fire from a lower candle, and before the blaze could be put out his beard and eyebrows were quite severely singed. Luckily, however, no further casualty occurred, and none of Santa Claus' clothing was burned. You'd scarce expect one of my age in merchandising to engage, and hope to get a paying trade without the local papers' aid. And yet I did that very thing; I opened up a store last spring—this month the sherrif took my stock and sold it from the auction block. Don't view me with a scornful eye, but simply say as I pass by, there goes a man who seems to think he has no use for printer's ink. There is a truth as broad as earth, and business men should know its worth; 'tis simply this: The public buys its goods from those advertise. From Cedar Capida, Iowa, comes the information that thousands of people are looking Californiawards. They will emigrate from the land of snows and blizzards, and come to a country of sunshine and climate, where they can raise fruit the year round, and enjoy life and live happily. Thousands of people from the frigid East will emigrate to this State the present winter, and we want to say to them that they will find no better location to settle in than right here in Anaheim. We have already quite a number of Iowaans amongst us, and we believe we could readily find room for more of them. Mr. Gilman is engaged in grubbing out each alternate walnut tree in the double row at his orange grove at Placentia. The trees are forty-eight feet apart one way and twenty-four the other.

Frank reports that drug business active, and that the Angelica City is rapidly forging ahead to be one of these days a great metropolitan center. Miss Cora Scott gave a delightful party to a number of her friends at her home in East Anaheim on Monday evening. Parlor games and social converse were passed to take time very pleasantly. Refreshments were served, and at a late hour the party dispersed, all having had a very enjoyable time. Sheriff Lacy was in town one day last week serving papers, and made a pleasant call at this office. He informs us business in his office has been brisk for some time past, and it keeps him busy attending to it. He will retain his present deputies Jim Buckley and Walter Tedford during his second term. Both gentlemen are worthy citizens and in every way qualified to attend to the business of the office. J.S.Pitman was over from Santa Ana last Friday to attend the city deliquent tax sale. He bought up several pieces of property including the Del Campo Hotel and grounds,the taxes upon which amounted to $88.46.Pitman is a professional tax title man,and during the last campaign it was freely stated that his retention as Deputy Recorder was the means of defeating Mr.Foster for renomination to that office.

By the arrival here of Mr. Cargill's family from the East our population is increased by ten persons. The party consists of Mr. Cargill's father and mother, his three little children and his sister and three children. They will reside at Brookshurst permanently. We regret to learn that Mr. Cargill has been quite seriously ill recently, but at last accounts he was improving. Just as an instance of what Orange county can do, we mention the records of two of our promising young pupils at the State Normal School in Los Angeles—Margaret E. Landell and Elizabeth P. Bates, who stand at the head of their respective classes. This speaks well of the Centralia and Anaheim school districts, and we are just as proud of this as the young ladies are themselves—and that is saying a great deal. An alarm of fire was rung in from the Presbyterian Church at 10 o'clock last Wednesday evening, just as the Christian Endeavorors were about to adjourn their regular weekly session. A coal oil lamp exploded and for a time threatened serious consequences. The fire department responded promptly, but the blaze was extinguished without their assistance and before any damage was done. The Santa Ana correspondent of the Los Angeles Herald, an unusually bright灯, sends up the following about the progressiveness of this deatim to be big railroad center and sugar factory town: "One hoars a great deal of talk about best sugar factories and proposed railways these days, and though it seems strange." [1] Anaheim seems to be setting the pace for this city in the way of public enterprise and improvements. For a long time it has been believed by many that this city and Westminster were to be connected by a line to a country of sunshine and climate, where they can raise fruit the year round, and enjoy life and live happily. Thousands of people from the frigid East will migrate to this State present winter, and we want to say to them that they will find no better location to settle in than right here in Anaheim. We have already quite a number of Iowaans amongst us, and we believe we could readily find room for more of them. Mr. Gilman is engaged in grubbing out each alternate walnut tree in the double row at his orange grove at Placentia. The trees are forty-eight feet apart one way and twenty-four the other. Each alternate tree the latter way is being taken out to make room for the others. The trees are magnificent specimens of growth, and it would seem a pity to sacrifice them, but they have become too large, and some of them must go. Mr. Gilman has one of the finest places in the citrus belt, and an added beauty is that he has no frost out his way. Prof. Tyndall, the celebrated mind reader and hypnotist, appeared to a fair-sized audience at Kroeger's Hall last Thursday evening. It was the first opportunity our people had of witnessing the powers of this remarkable exponent of the oculus sciences, and the exhibition was very much enjoyed in every respect. The Professor made several tests successfully, including the finding of a pin, hid in the house, and reading his subjects' thoughts without trouble. The entertainment was one of the most unique as well as interesting ever given in this city. Otto Rust had an experience with a Celestial gourmand. the other day which came near taking his breath away. He had just come upon an old hen's nest containing thirteen eggs, and had broken one, only to find it in an advanced stage of decomposition and well along in the hatching process. The eggs were all similarly affected, and Otto was on the point of making away with them, when the heatham approached, mildly protesting against their demolition, and declaring they were "heap good" for a certain dish much relished by the average Celestial, the necessary ingredients for the construction of which he had been searching vainly for some time. The eggs, the heathen said, with the addition of a little good brandy and some slices of "hog meat," made a specially palatable marmalade, and marching off with his find, which Otto was glad enough to present him with, he murmured, "Heap good. You no likee?" For all kinds of seeds go to Isaac Lyons' store. J. S. Pitman was over from Santa Ana last Friday to attend the city delinquent tax sale. He bought up several pieces of property, including the Del Campo Hotel and grounds, the taxes upon which amounted to $88.46. Pitman is a professional tax title man, and during the last campaign it was freely stated that his retention as Deputy Recorder was the means of defeating Mr. Foster for renomination to that office. A Pierotti was in from Placentia on Monday and dropped in to see us. He informs us that the farmers' union was formed, not to antagonize buyers at all, but to maintain prices. The union will have large quantities of farm produce to sell, and expects to dispose of the same at fair prices. Pierotti says the oranges never looked better and that the crop this season is above the average. Mr. Bulger was in from Centralia on Tuesday renewing old acquaintances. He is giving his undivided attention these days to his potato crop, which is coming on nicely and promises well. Potatoes will be a cash article this season, and Mr. Bulger expects in consequence to reap his share of the circulating medium of the realm. John A. Burton was in from his ranch at Garden Grove on Tuesday and reports everything prosperous down his way, especially the barley crop, which he says was never better. John put in four acres of potatoes the last dark of the moon, and will put in four more acres when that period comes around again, now in a day or two. He tells us that potatoes, to make a sure crop in this country, besides being properly cultivated and taken care of, should be planted, as his have been planted, in the dark of the moon. Mrs. Brooks, Miss Brooks and Mr., and Mrs.J.E.Hoy have arrived from the East and are guests of Mr., and Mrs.Ryan at Santa Monica, Mr.Hoy is a brother-in-law of Mr.Ryan, and this is his first trip to the Coast. The party will remain during the winter. Mr.Ryan will shortly begin the erection of a commodious dwelling at Brookshurst, where he contemplates making some marked improvements upon the completion of which his visitors will be guests at that place. Mr., and Mrs.Ryan will reside at Brookshurst, but will spend the season at Santa Monica. Ladies Fashionable Dressmaking. French system of cutting and fitting. Prices moderate.
