LATE NEWS OF THE WEEK The Editors Come, See And are Conquered. A Few of the Best of Them With Us—They Are Singing the Praises of Anaheim Now—The Lunch Served by the Ladies the Feature of their Visit—Other Items—The Sugar Factory Getting Along Nicely—City Fathers—Social News and Personal Mention. The Editorial Association of Southern California paid its first visit to Anaheim yesterday. The members of the association arrived on the 12:24 train. There were not as many of the brotherhood of the quill as we should like to have seen present, but those who were with us were of that noble band denominated what is left of the best of us. They were met at the depot by the citizens' reception committee, and headed by the Anaheim brass band, the party marched to the Opera-house, which was literally transformed into a bower of beauty, and where luncheon was served. The Fullerton brass band was present, and helped to enliven the occasion with martial music. The distinguished visitors were extended a welcome into our midst by the editor of the GAZETTE, who said in part: Ladies and Gentlemen of the Editorial Association: It is my pleasant duty to extend to you, on behalf of our citizens, a most cordial welcome into our midst. We extend to you a friendly greeting, and are ourselves glad that you are here. We can do nothing to honor you more than you honor us by your presence. We hope that the few hours which you will spend with us may leave into a pleasant memory of your visit to Anaheim. When, some weeks ago, it was first broached to me that it would be well to invite the Editorial Association to visit Anaheim, and my opinion was asked in the matter, I said to myself, said I, that if the ladies would be with us, and would co-operate in the programme of entertainment, the editors might come; but, if the ladies were not with us, if they were again us, or not come. With that in view I interviewed them, and I assured you it was one of the pleasantest tasks of my life. The result you see before you. We trust these surroundings may add an agreeable reliah to your luncheon—that digestion may wait upon your appetite, and good health on both. After lunch, the programme embraces a drive to points of interest, returning to your train at 5:37 this evening. Again welcoming you, ladies and gentlemen, and your short visit may be pleasantly and editors, but were slightly disappointed in the number present. However, we are all glad they came, and hope that their visit was as pleasant as our people tried to make it. May peace and joy and good luck go with them and speed their return. THE SUGAR FACTORY. SATISFACTORY PROGRESS BEING MADE WORK ON THE REFINERY TO BEGIN SOON. There was not a quorum at the meeting of stockholders in the beet sugar refinery held at Kroeger's Hall on Monday and so no vote was taken upon the question of issuing bonds in the sum of $100,000 to provide for the erection of the refinery buildings. Seventeen hundred acres of land are already deeded into the corporation, and of those only 1,249 were represented. There are also 1,194 acres already purchased, for which some $12,000 has been paid, the deed to which arrived at the Farmers & Merchants' Bank of Los Angeles, the trustee of the lands in question, on Sunday evening, from the Stearns Ranchos headquarters in San Francisco—too late to be placed on record in time to be voted at the meeting. There are thus altogether 2,894 acres bought and by this time undoubtedly deeded into the corporation. As no quorum was present, however, an adjournment was taken Wednesday afternoon next, January 18th, at 2 o'clock. There was quite a large crowd of stockholders present from the entire countryside, and several from Los Angeles, and a discussion was entered into in reference to several questions that claimed their attention. Mr. Bill of Westminster asked whether, if beets were planted, and the refinery for any cause should be incapable of using them, would the Chino factory purchase them? He had understood this to be the case, and he wanted to know whether it was true or not. Mr. Fowler said that the refinery here would be ready and able to handle all beets raised here this season. But if for any unforeseen cause the refinery would not be able to do so the Chino factory would purchase them. The Directors had requested Mr. Gird to do this merely as a safeguard, in case of fire or other contingency. The freight to Chino will be two cents per ton per mile, but the Southern Pacific is considering reducing this sum to one cent per mile. Mr. Bill asked regarding beets raised by non-stockholders. Would the refinery purchase them? Mr. Fowler said the beets raised by stockholders would be purchased first; then, if the refinery needed any more beets, those raised by outsiders might be purchased. Of course, however, these outliers for main uncalled for Aguilar, Juan Barra Mrs. D. Cohen, J.Frank Laurie, W.F.Martin, Rev.D.Ola, Jerome Morton Whope that the few hours which you will spend with us may just be into a pleasant memory of your visit to Anaheim. When, some weeks ago, it was first broached to me that it would be well to invite the Editorial Association to visit Anaheim, and my opinion was asked in the matter, I said to myself, said I, that if the ladies would cooperate in the grumme of entertainment, the editors might come; but, if the ladies were not with us, if they were agree us, or formist us, then the editors must surely must not come. With that in view I interviewed them, and I assured you it was one of the pleasantest tasks of my life. The result you see before you. We trust these surroundings may aid an agreeable relation between the scheme that elicitation wait upon your appetite, and good health on both. After luncheon, the programme embraces a drive to points of interest, returning to your train at 8:27 this evening. Again welcoming you, ladies and gentlemen, and hoping that your short visit may be pleasantly and profitably spent, we invite you to the discussion of the menu. Mr. Craig of the Redlands Citrograph responded in a few well chosen words, and then the demolishment of the bill of fare began. The editorial party consisted of Scipio Craig, President of the association, editor of the Redlands Citrograph; Henry Z. Osborne, of the Los Angeles Express; Mr. and Mrs. Bell, Los Angeles Porcupine; Mr. and Mrs. J. W. Harvey, Monrovia Messenger; Chas. A. Gardiner, Pasadena Star; Mr. and Mrs. Chas H. Smith, Los Angeles Hotel Gazette; R. J. Pierson, Riverside Press; J. P. Baumgartner, Riverside Reflex; G. P. Tibbets, Santa Barbara Independent; Mr. and Mrs. J. F. Johnson, Santa Barbara Press; Mr. and Mrs. C. O. Knopper, Santa Barbara Gazette; Mr. and Mrs. G. T. Hanley, Los Angeles Star; Mr. and Mrs. A. F. Clark, Outario Record; Mr. and Mrs. Jas. Fullerton, Orange News; Mr. and Mrs. D. M. Baker and Misses Hattie and Bertha Baker, Santa Ana Standard; J. H. Wallace of the Los Angeles advertising agency, G. F. Tuchever of the Santa Fe Railroad Company, Mr. and Mrs. J. E. Kiplinger, San Bernardino Kalefoscope and E. S. Wallace, Los Angeles Times. The Reception Committee was composed of Mesara, Herman Dickel, P. James, J. J. Everharty, W. M. McFadden, Adolph Rimpau, Riehard Melrose, General Pierce, Dr. Bullard and Prof. Grogan, all of whom saw to it that the visitors had free license to everything in sight. The decorations of the hall were admirable and called forth many expressions of admiration. The lunch was undoubtedly the feature of the editorial visit to Orange county. Toasts were responded to as follows: "Anaehim—The Mother Colony of California." Responded to by Chas. A. Gardiner of the Pasadena Star, formerly editor of the Gazette. "Orange County—The Joker in the Pack of the counties of California." Richard Molrose of this city. "The State of South California." D. M. Baker of the Santa Ana Standard. "The Press as a Factor in Colony Building." Mr. Smith of the Los Angeles Hotel Gazette. "The Anaheim Co-operative Beet Sugar Refinery." General Pierce. "The Ladies." Responded to by Henry Z. Osborne of the Los Angeles Express. The lunch and decorations were in charge of the following ladies, to whom we desire hereby to return a vote of thanks for their pains: Mrs. Cahen, Mrs. Molrose, Mrs. Rust, Mrs. A. Rimpau, Mrs. F. Rimpau, Mrs.Morton, Mrs.Heiman, Mrs.Kuchel, Mrs.H.Fossie, Mrs.Landell, Mrs.E.Browning, Mrs.Scott, Mrs.V.Browning, Mrs.J.J.Everharty, Mrs.Ernast Browning. The following young ladies, looking most charming in very handsome costumes, waived upon the editorial table and saw that no editorial appetite was left unsatisfied. Mr. Craig asked regarding beets raised by non-stockholders. Would the refinery purchase them? Mr. Fowler said the beets raised by stockholders would be purchased first; then, if the refinery needed any more beets, those raised by outsiders might be purchased. Of course, however, these outsiders would not share in the profits of the refinery. As there are yet about a couple of hundred acres necessary in order to go ahead with the refinery, Mr.Captain suggested that meetings be held at Westminster and Artistry to solicit additional acreage. It was decided to hold meetings at the Westminster schoolhouse on Tuesday evening, the 17th, at half-past seven o'clock,and at the Artistry schoolhouse on Saturday evening,the 14th.at the same hour. Mr.Captain said an office had been put up at the refinery site,and a man would be there constantly to attend to all matters connected with the corporation.The plans and specifications of the refinery buildings were completed They were displayed upon the wall,and attracted a great deal of attention.The refinery will be the model sugar house of Southern California.The collateral for the bonds is ready,and will be at the disposal of the corporation as soon as they are issued. For the benefit of new stockholders Gen.Pierce read the by-laws. Mr.Dimmock said that a vast amount of land could be secured for the refinery if some arrangements could be made to lift light mortgages on them.The matter is being looked into,and it is hoped it will be settled satisfactorily. Mr.Gale said he knew of a gentleman who owned a tract of five acres of good land upon which there was a mortgage of $145.The gentleman was desirous of taking stock in the refinery,但 was debarred on account of the mortgage from doing so. Mr.Fowler said he would lend the gentleman $145 and take sugar stock as security.The proposition was accepted,aid aplause,and thus five acres more were secured. Gen.Pierce said that he had recorded over one hundred deeds,based with him that were faulty.The names of the owners were called,and they were requested to come up and rectify their errors. After a further discussion on the matter of deeds and recording the same,the meeting adjourned to next Wednesday January 18th.at 2 o'clock. Unscrupulous Orange Buyers. Editor Gazette: The fruit buyer is already in the land He is not buying,but soliciting on commission This might be all right if the dealers were endeavoring to get good prices for our fruit One of E.T.Earle's circulars "to the trade" fell into my hands the other day,and the following is the boost he gave our fruit: "Los Angeles oranges include those grown at Los Angeles,Rivera,Anaheim and Fullerton,and are very often sold as 'Bright Mountain fruit'by other packers,但 are not,they are produced in the valley districts near the coast."

Rimpan, Mrs. Morton, Mrs. Heiman, Mrs. Kuchel, Mrs. H. Fossie, Mrs. Landell, Mrs. E. Browning, Mrs. Scott, Mrs. V. Browning, Mrs. J. J. Everharty, Mrs. Ernest Brownning. The following young ladies, looking most charming in very handsome costumes, waited upon the editorial table and saw that no editorial appetite was left unsatisfied: Miss Fannie Rowe, Miss Tuffee, Miss Rose and Lella Robinson, Miss Dora and Minnie Zeyn, Misses Fannie and Maggie Higgins, Miss Sophia Rimpau, Miss Cora Scott, Miss Lute Bailey, Miss Alice Chevalier, Miss Cora Lewis, Miss Clara Mossman, Miss Elizabeth Kuchel, Miss Eva Littlefield, Miss Mabel Langenberger, Miss Fritzie Heiman, Miss Beatriche Smythe, Miss Jesio and Winifred Melrose, Miss Mary Rimpau, Miss Everhardy, Miss Clemmie Schmidt, Miss Lulu and Bessie James, Miss Bertha Stone and Miss Dresser. The lunch was most admirable in every respect, and the ladies of this city are entitled to the everlasting thanks of the community for their royal reception of the editors. Soldom has the Opera-house been so beautifully decorated. The stage was a bower of orange trees, laden with golden fruit and the hall and stairway were beautifully garlanded with evergreen and flowers. At each plate was a most lovely button-hole bouquet of violets, but when the honored President of the association was seated he was presented with an enormous bouquet of roses, the handwork of Mrs. Littlefield. A lovely cake, inscribed with a friendly greeting to the association, donated by Mrs. Koenig, was divided among the editors with strict impartiality, and many slices were taken home as souvenirs. After luncheon the editors were driven around the valley to points of interest, and at 5:27 the party took the train for Santa Ana, where the annual election of officers was held last evening. The playing of the Anaheim and Fullerton brass bands was a feature of the day. To-day the party go down into the Independent State of San Juan Capitrano, where Dick Egan, otherwise known as the Alcalde, will entertain them. Marcos Foster and Judge Bacon, who has lately joined the Democratic party, will assist and call for their partner's best. The Fullerton band accompanies the excursion to San Juan as guests of the association. The meeting was thoroughly enjoyable in every particular. We expected a hundred EDITOR GAZETTE: The fruit buyer is already in the land. He is not buying, but soliciting on commission. This might be all right, if the dealers were endeavoring to get good prices for our fruit. One of E. T. Earle's circulars "to the trade" fell into my hands the other day, and the following is the boost he gave our fruit: "Los Angeles oranges include those grown at Los Angeles, Rivera, Anaheim and Fullerton, and are very often sold as 'Bright Mountain fruit' by other packers, but are not, as they are produced in the valley districts near the coast." Then he quotes Riverside at $2.25 a box, Mountain fruit at $1.75, and Los Angeles at $1.25, and further adds: "Wire for special prices, as they will probably be lower soon." Would it not be a wise thing for the growers here to give Mr. Earle a wide berth? He is quoting our fruit at $1.25, and thinks it will be lower soon. Of course this circular was not intended for the growers to see. Other shippers might mark our fruit "Mountain fruit," and get $1.75, but he is too conscientious, and will quote only $1.25, and thinks it will be even less soon. There is no such thing as "Mountain oranges" in Southern California. I think it high time the growers banded together and handled their own fruit. W. M. McFADDEN. Card of Thanks.

The annual meeting of stockholders in the Anaheim Co-operative Sugar Beet Company will be held in Kneeger's Hall, Monday, February 13th, at 2 p.m., for the purpose of electing a Board of Directors for the ensuing year. John Goodale had the misfortune to severely cut his knee with a hatchet one day last week while at work on his place on broadway. No serious results are apprehended, however, and is to be hoped that he will soon be out again. The brass band gave a free open-air concert on Federman's balcony last Saturday evening, which was listened to by a large crowd. The boys are getting to play very well and the band, consisting of twelve pieces, will compare favorably with any musical organization in Southern California. The primary department of the city school is so crowded that it has been decided to divide the department in forenoon and afternoon sessions next Monday, when half of the pupils will attend school in the morning and the rest in the afternoon. We must have more school room. The California Fruit Company, composed of several well-known gentlemen of Los Angeles, has been formed for the purpose of buying all kinds of fruit on commission. The company is represented in this section by R. W. Richardson, who is meeting with success in his new venture.

The Anaheim factory will be the second in Southern California, and the seventh one in the United States; it is now assured, 2,700 shares are now actually paid, for which certificates have been issued, and $1,750 have already been paid the Stearns Ranchos Company as the first payment on 1,400 acres of sugar beet land near Anaheim. It is now generally understood that the Southern Pacific Company is working with Anaheim in the establishment of the factory. The company has already promised to build a road from Anaheim through Garden Grove, Westminster and the famous peat lands. The movement will build up the northern portion of the county." The Board of Directors of the irrigation district met on Monday and called an election to be held in the district on Wednesday, February 1st, to choose a board of five Directors, a Collector, Assessor and Treasurer, all of them to serve during the ensuing two years. No nominations have as yet been made, but the claims of several gentlemen are being pressed for the different offices by their friends. The call for the election, as well as the polling places and the officers of election, will be found in our advertising columns. We are in receipt of Thacker Bros. orange-buying circular, under date Chicago, January 4, which has been issued to the trade throughout the country, and from which we take the following extract: "A recent circular issued by one of our California packers states the Los Angeles oranges include those grown at Anaheim and Fullerton and are often sold as bright mountain fruit, by other packers, but that they are not such as produced in the valley districts near the coast. This statement is a great injustice to the grower, and a misrepresentation to the buyer, and we wish therefore to correct it. Both Anaheim and Fullerton are located near the coast, if not nearer than any other section where oranges are grown." They are located thirty miles from Los Angeles and ten miles from the ocean, and should no more be classed with Los Angeles fruit than 'Riversides.' Moreover, these points are in a faintest section, as was demonstrated last year, the fruit there being entirely tree of frost, solid and heavy. In these sections is located the famous Gilman grove, which is one of the largest in the State, and that as well as all the Anaheim and Fullerton fruit, is clean, bright and handsome." City Trustees. The Board of City Trustees met in regular session in the City Hall on Tuesday evening. Present, Trasteca Witte, Schindler, Pellegrin and Littlefield. Absent, Trustee Rust. John M.

Prof. Edwin Clark and family, who visit here with relatives and friends during the holidays, returned to Capistrano on Sunday. Zanjero Henderson had his prize hunting dogs out a few days ago for a little spot on the La Habra, and succeeded in capturing a lynx, a wild cat and a coon (colored). Dr. Warner was in town from Garden Grove on Monday. He reports everything flourishing down his way, with good prospects for a railroad from here soon. Messra John Sloan and F.J. Speidel were in from Buena Park on Monday; talking sugar beets and co-operative refinery. Both are stockholders in the enterprise. Clarence Groat is one of our Constable now, and it's quite a good one too that hawking. He hasn't made any arrests yet but is putting in time sizing up the hair characters. Governor Whitaker of the Park was in town on Monday lending his valuable assistance to the inauguration of the co-operative refinery. The Governor's advocacy of the agitation during the past year or more. Mr. and Mrs. Keller and Mr. Ort of South Bend, Indiana, are visiting in the city, the guests of Mr. and Mrs. Peter Hering.

The California Fruit Company, composed of several well-known gentlemen of Los Angeles, has been formed for the purpose of haying all kinds of fruit on commission. The company is represented in this section by R. W. Richardson, who is meeting with success in his new venture.

Mr. Littlefield finds his time so taken up with his private business affairs that he has been compelled to resign his position as one of the Directors of the sugar corporation, a fact which we regret to announce. Richard Gird of Chino, who is quite a large shareholder in the enterprise, has been elected to fill the vacancy. Some of the boys are talking of getting up a tug of war to be held here in the near future. Last year's tug was a great success, and since then many have expressed a desire to see the Anaheim and Buena Park teams pull, with Camp in the harness for the latter. The boys expect teams to enter from the different points in the county and will offer substantial prizes to the winners. Tim Carroll did himself proud in decorating the Opera-house for the editorial visit yesterday. The stage was converted into a miniature orange grove, the trees all coming from Tim's famous Evergreen Nurseries. The effect was beautiful and striking, and those who were present in the hall will not soon forget the very fine appearance made in honor of the editorial visit. A sensational elopement is reported from Fullerton, the festive couple being a colored gentleman and his sister-in-law. It is feared there will be bloodshed should the irate butter-half lay hands on the wrong-doers, for the lady is left almost penniless with a half-dozen children, some of whom are the property of her eloping sister. There is no clew to the whereabouts of the runaway coons. Miss Jettie Arthur has issued invitations for an assembly at the Del Campo Hotel next Saturday night. She will attempt to make the occasion one long to be remembered in the annals of social affairs here. Ice cream and cake will be served, and the orchestra will consist of three very fine musicians. Admission, 75 cents per couple. There will doubtless be a large crowd in attendance. "The California Fruit Grower never spoke more truthfully than when it said, last week: 'The Anaheim Gazette very properly objects to having the unknown vine disease called by the name of its pretty little town. It would certainly be in the interest of all if we should no longer hear of the 'Ansheim disease' and the 'San Jose scale.' It gives two of the very best fruit producing regions in the State an unpleasant notoriety.' Let us hear no more of the Anaheim vine disease." From the Peoria (Ill.) Herald of January 4th, we take the following item regarding the professional services of Dr. McFadden, a brother of W. M. McFadden of Placecia, in a surgical operation requiring no little amount of skill: "Martin Angeles fruit than 'Riversides.' Moreover, these points are in a frostless section, as was demonstrated last year, the fruit there being entirely tree of frost, solid and heavy. In these sections is located the famous Gilman grove, which is one of the largest in the State, and that as well as all the Anaheim and Fullerton fruit, is clean, bright and handsome." City Trustees. The Board of City Trustees met in regular session in the City Hall on Tuesday evening. Present, Trustees Witte, Schindler, Pellegrin and Littlefield. Absent, Trustee Rust. The minutes of the last regular and adjourned meetings were read and, after correction, approved. At the adjourned meeting held last Friday evening T. J. E. Bege agreed to sprinkle the streets according to contract, whenever necessary. The report of the Marshal for December was received, showing collections as follows; For license, $185 10; water, $180; less usual 5 per cent commission. The Treasurer's report was received and filed, showing a balance in favor of the city on January 10th of $1,950 59. The report of the Clerk was received and filed. The report of the Recorder was received, showing the collection of $10 from Ah Tack, who was fined fordrunkness. All the reports were referred to the Finance Committee or examination. The Fire Commissioner reported on several minor matters. The Chairman of the Committee on Public Improvements reported that West street had been graded as contracted for. Further time was granted for the completion of the work on east Center street. The Special Committee reported on the boring of the city well. Mr. des Granges appeared before the board and discussed the matter. He had notified to complete the well or the board would finish the same at his expense, to which he protested, claiming that he waste bore 100 feet only, which he has done. The board, however, differed with him, saying the contract calls for a 150-foot well finished in a good workmanlike manner. The difference of opinion between the board and Mr. des Granges is a question which seems difficult to settle. The report of the committee was received and filed and the committee discharged. Charlie Neijt addressed the council on the feasibility of grading Walnut街. Referred to the Committee on Public Improvements with power to act. The Savings Loan and Building Association returned thanks for the privilege of holding their meetings in the City Hall. Bills aggregating $734 54 were audited and ordered paid. Adjourned. Placentia Items. Everything is moving smoothly in this neck of the woods. Barley is looking fine. The drying winds of late have formed a crust over the ground and a little rain would be very welcome. The Choral Society passed a very pleasant evening at Mr. Crowther's last Wednesday. Games were played, after which refreshments were served. Mr. McFarland is having a substantial wire fence put around his orange archdale, which, by way is a fine orchard. A. Pierrotti is grubbing some of his walnut trees to make room for orange trees.

Miss Irene Fleming, the amiable and accomplished daughter of Mrs. W. J. Smith of Orangethorpe, who spent the holiday here very pleasingly, returned to her home in Redlands on Monday. Miss Fleming goes to Redlands to further instruct her class in music, which is progressing dully under her able tuition. Messrs Hale and Blennnerhassett were in from the Bottaford ranch on Monday, and inform us they had everything in readings for the editorial trip out their way. The editors passed through the grove on their drive yesterday afternoon, and were out spoken in their praise of not only the Bottaford and Gilman places, but of the entire Placentia country. E. B. Greene was in town on Monday to attend the meeting of stockholders in the sugar refinery. The site of the works is near ten-acre place, at which he appears to have very little objection. Coming here last March, Mr. Greene can already see great changes in his section. He can count a dozen new houses from his residence that have gone up since his arrival here. D. W. C. Dimmock of Westminster was among the farmers in town at the sugar bee meeting on Monday. He is one of the enthusiastic supporters of sugar making, and has raised beets on his ranch that polarized eighteen percent and go twenty-four tons totheacre.Mr.Dimmock was the first gentleman to deed his land into the refinery corporation. H. E. Davis, a professional foot racer, has been in the city for a week or so past training for a race to take place in the near future,and in which he expects to come near breaking the world's record.Mr.Davis practices daily near the Santa Fe depot,sprinting over the track,makes a very good path.Who his opponent is to be no one seems to know,但it is possible that he is after Tommy Morris's scalp. E. T. Dyer and H. S. Dyer of the Alvarado sugar factory were in town during the week investigating the matter of our co-operative sugar refinery.Both gentlemen are experienced sugar manufacturers and are of the opinion that this country isthe finest on earth for sugar beets.Neither have any fears as to the sugar bounty being taken off,and both predict a splendid future for this valley to date from the establishment of this refinery, ``` last week: "The Anaheim Gazette very properly objects to the unknown vine disease called by the name of its pretty little town. It would certainly be in the interest of all if we should no longer hear of the 'Ansheim disease' and the 'San Jose scale.' It gives two of the very best fruit producing regions in the State an unpleasant notoriety." Let us hear no more of the Anaheim vine disease. From the Peoria (Ill.) Herald of January 4th, we take the following item regarding the professional services of Dr. McFadden, a brother of W. M. McFadden of Placeia, in a surgical operation requiring no little amount of skill: "Martin Vogel, walking along block 100 of Fulton street early last evening slipped and fell to the pavement. He was terribly hurt and could not rise. He was taken first to his home at 119 Fulton street and then Dr. McFadden was summoned to see him. He found that the patient had sustained a compound comminuted fracture of the right leg above the ankle and in addition thereto the ankle itself was dislocated. The injuries were such that it was necessary to amputate the limb to save the man's life. He was first taken to St. Francis hospital and there Dr. McFadden, assisted by Drs. Powell and McIlvaine, amputated the limb." C. T. Platt, the Newport well-borer, moved into town with his steam outfit last week, and began work on the new city well on Monday. His well-boring outfit is probably the best in Southern California, and he is expected to make good headway in putting down the well. Mr. Platt is a devout Christain, and one of his wagons, a large boarded-up white-painted affair, is covered with scriptural quotations, among them being: "In all kinds of labor there is profit, but the talk of the lips leadeth to penury," "Pride goeth before destruction, and a haughty spirit before a fall;" "If thine enemy hunger, feed him; if he thirst give him drink!" "What profitif a man if he gain the whole world and lose his soul, or what shall a man give in exchange for his soul?" All of which is very nice. Mr. Platt's wagon is quite a curiosity. Although our old friend G. Washington Burton has removed to San Francisco, where his attention is plentifully engaged with the affairs of the northern citrus bolt, he nevertheless has occasionally a good word to say about us, as witness the following from the Grocer and Country Merchant of last week: "The farmers in the northern portion of Orange county assembled in Anaheim on the afternoon of Friday, December 29th, to celebrate the successful termination of the efforts of the people in that Placentia Items. Everything is moving smoothly in this neck of the woods. Barley is looking fine. The drying winds of late have formed a crust over the ground and a little rain would be very welcome. The Choral Society passed a very pleasant evening at Mr. Crowther's last Wednesday. Games were played, after which refreshments were served. Mr. McFadden is having a substantial wire fence put around his orange orchard, which, by way is a fine orchard. A. Pierrotti is grubbing some of his walnut trees to make room for orange trees. The cabbage cranks look happy and won't smoke anything but ten cent cigars. C. Carlson has been north and secured some fine Government land. Chris Anderson has gone and O. Christmas and A. Westergarden are to follow Wednesday. The school has commenced with several new pupils, and is ably taught by C. P. Guthrie and Miss M. L. Gower. The scholars are making rapid progress. Mr. and Mrs. McCullough paid Placeia a visit last week. All were glad to see them and hope they will come often. Dr. Pendleton of Los Angeles preached in the schoolhouse Sunday, in behalf of the Baptists, who are soliciting subscriptions to build a church at Fullerton. Buena Park. Harry Sloan returned to Pomona College Tuesday. John Vanhuysen is at J. A. Whitaker's. The services at the Congregational are now held in the afternoon at three o'clock.

Mr. Thompson of Portage La Prairie, Manitoba, Can., is visiting at Mr. Robert Bryden's. The Literary Monday evening was very well attended and all were gratified with the programme. The debate was one of unusual interest. The next meeting will be January 22nd. Miss Cora Lewis was a guest at Rolio ranch last week. Mr. Mullett has put the plow into one thousand acres of his land on the hills, and has planted it to graun. He has also set out many trees and will soon have one of the finest ranches in the county. Death. SNODGRASS—In West Anaheim, January 10th, Mrs.Jochella Snodgrass, wife of B. J.Snodgrass, aged 41 years, 3 months and 28 days. ROBERTSON—In Placeia, January 5th, Mrs.C.Robertson, aged 54 years. E.T.Dyer and H.S.Dyer of the Alvarado sugar factory were in town during the week investigating the matter of our co-operative sugar refinery. Both gentlemen are experienced sugar manufacturers and are of the opinion that this country is in the finest on earth for sugar beets.Neither have any fears as to the sugar bounty being taken off, and both predict a splendid future for this valley to date from the establishment of the refinery. Mr.Turcko returned on Saturday from Louisiana, where he has been engaged in sugar making since the shut-down for the season at the Chino refinery. He informs us that the sugar output in the South is large and prospects good for the future. Of course he is glad to get back to Anaheim, and will take up his permanent residence here upon the establishment of the sugar rehnery. He will remain in town for some time, but will go to China on the resumption of work there the coming season, having an engagement with the Oxnards at that point. Veit Bentz left on Thursday for Jacksonville, Oregon, in response to a telegram bringing the sad news of his father's death at that place the evening before.The deceased was 59 years of age, and had never been sick up to a short time before his death, when he was taken with la gripe, to which it is thought he succumbed.Hwas the father of Mrs.N.F.Steadman,Miss E.Bentz and the Bentz boys,to whom his death comes as an irreparable blow.His wife survives him,and will probably move to Anaheim to take up her residence with the other members of the family here.To the bereaved family we extend our sincere condolence.
