The purchaser is F. N. Myers of the Security Savings Bank of Los Angeles, representing Chicago capital, and the price is 90 cents on the dollar. The bid for the purchase of the securities was accompanied by a certified check for $6,000 for the successful performance of the contract. After discussing all matters pertaining to the sale, the board decided to accept the offer, and accordingly entered into a contract for the same. This is believed to be the first bona fide sale of irrigation bonds for cash over made in the State. The bid is as follows: ANAHEIM, Cal., Feb 14, 1893.

Mr. Clarkson Hoag and wife of Evanston, Ill., gave us a visit, the guests of Mrs. John Hanna. This is Mr. Hoag's second visit to this place and he noted the marked improvements in tree growth. He may invest in these parts. Mrs. E. Wallace Kidder, a niece of John Hanna, is spending the winter in California. She is visiting at her uncle's. Mr. B. Brown made a flying business trip to this place Monday. Miraflores, Feb. 14, 1893. SUGAR REFINERY. ELECTION OF THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS POSTPONED TO THE 27TH INSTANT — STOCK ALL IN — THE BOOKS CLOSED. The annual meeting of the stockholders in the co-operative sugar refinery, held at Kroeger's Hall last Monday afternoon, was largely attended by farmers from different portions of the valley. It was called for the purpose of electing a Board of Directors to serve for the ensuing year, but the meeting decided to adjourn to such time as would enable the inclusion of some 900 acres into the corporation, deeds to which had not yet arrived. Mr. Fowler called the meeting to order at 2:30. Mr. Capitain called the roll, after which Mr. Jones reviewed the work of the board during the past year, saying that many obstacles had been met during that time, but they had been gradually surmounted, until at present the organization is almost complete. It would be completed with the addition of the new acreage, deeds to which would be delivered within a few days. He advised an adjournment in deference to the new stockholder, who he argued should in courtesy be given a vote upon the important question of selecting a new Board of Directors. Three thousand acres had been subscribed and would be deeded into the corporation by the next meeting, when the new board would be elected and the work of erecting the refinery pushed rapidly to completion. A general discussion ensued as to the de- of the Anaheim Union Water Co. and so-called Yorba properties, mutually satisfactory, to be secured. Bonds to be secured by a mortgage upon the property vested in the district—canals, water rights, etc. Prior to making payment for any of said bonds usual paper to be furnished showing to my attorneys satisfactory legality of issue, and form of bond and mortgage or trust deed to be satisfactory, it being understood that a bill is now pending in the Legislature which if it becomes a law will authorize the giving of such mortgage and trust deed. I am to have my attorneys pass upon legality of bonds and securities to be mortgaged, as soon as necessary papers are furnished, and without unnecessary delay, and immediately upon finding such legality satisfactory you are to commence condemnation proceedings, and procure said interlocutary decree within 90 days from date of commencement of said proceedings, except as to the Yorba rights, which may require a longer time. Said bonds to be delivered and paid for at once upon obtaining said decree, or at my option, in installments of $15,000 or $20,000, as you may need the money in making expenditures. It is hereby understood that you are to use of the proceeds of said bonds about $50,000 in improving, by cementing or otherwise, the present ditches of said Anaheim Union Water Company; about $75,000 toward liquidating the indebtedness of said water company, and a balance on improving by construction of a reservoir or otherwise the present system of said water company. I am also to have the privilege of acquainting myself from time to time from your records of the manner of making said improvements and expenditures. If mutually thought best to continue the employment of a consulting engineer, I will pay one-half the expense for this purpose incurred during the expenditure of the proceeds of said $170,000 of bonds. I will also prepare and print the mortgage and trust deed at my expense. Certified check herewith, which is to be returned to me in case you are unable to deliver said bonds in accordance with the bid. It is also understood that the interlocutary decree in both the above cases shall be such as shall enable you with bonds of the district and the $75,000 to $85,000 or thereabouts, cash proceeds of bonds already mentioned, to make payment and take possession of said properties by final decree. F. N. MYERS The signing of the contract for the transfer of the securities was witnessed by quite a number of interested citizens. Previous to the opening of the bid Mr. Myers and Dr. Harris, representing the Chicago capitalists, were in consultation with the Directors not only of the district, but of those Directors of the water company who favor a transfer of the old company's works to the district. A satisfactory conclusion was arrived at, and the sale was ordered made. The Secretary was instructed to send a copy of the resolution of thanks recently adopted by the board to General Shanklin, who represented the district at the State Association of irrigation districts at Sacramento. Mr. Holcomb declined to act as one of the experts on the books and accounts of the district, and Mr. Jennings was selected in his stead. Adjourned. RESOLUTIONS. At a meeting of the Board of Directors of the Anaheim Irrigation District held on the 7th day of February, 1893, the following resolutions were adopted: Resolved That this board fully endorses the action of the State Irrigation Convention. A general discussion ensued as to the desirability of further delay participated in by Messrs. Fowler, Dimmock, Bill and others, but on the showing that the postponing of the election would not delay work on the refinery. Mr. Jones' ideas were acquired in unanimously. General Pierce explained the laws of the State in reference to election by stockholders, and particularly under the plan of organization adopted by the corporation. He said further that two or three times we had had three thousand acres pledged, but what with withdrawals, defective deeds and one cause with another the aggregate had never been successfully secured until last Thursday, when Messrs. E. P. Fowler, R. J. Northam and F. J. Capitain came forward and assumed all the stock outstauding, and the books of the corporation had thereupon been closed. The land necessary to cover this stock, amounting to about 900 acres, had been purchased, and the deeds sent to the headquarters of the Stearns' Rancho Company in San Francisco, and on their return the organization would be completed and work on the refinery begun. Such farmers as desired to subscribe for stock could do so up to Wednesday, the 15th, after which no more stock would be accepted. The matter of shipping beets to Chino, in the event of the failure of the factory here to handle them, was discussed at length, the consensus of opinion being that it would not be necessary to ship beets to Chino, inasmuch as the refinery here would be up in time to take care of the crop and manufacture it into sugar. However, in the event of any unforeseen occurrence, satisfactory rates had been made with the Southern Pacific to Chino, the same being $87½ cents per ton, the beets to be unloaded free at Chino. General Pierce read the following resolution. Resolved That the stockholders in the Anaheim Cooperative Beet Sugar Company, in their annual meeting assembled, urge upon their Board of Directors the great importance of commencing and planting a sugar factory during the present year, and if possible to have permission by order of October 1883, in order to entitle this company to receive the bounty provided under the McKinley Tariff Law. And the stockholders will assume all the responsibility of a possible failure to pay any dividends the first year, and of delays that may possibly supervene. We only ask that the Board of Stockholders will push the matter with all possible disclosures and limitations on its downfall or buoyancy is repealed, or Hawaii is annexed, so that we have to market our beets at Chino, we will relieve The Directory of all responsibility and assume it ourselves. The resolution was carried unanimously. Mr. Capitain referred to the good work that had been done by the Directors in gathering up stock. Many shares had been secured in Los Angeles and other outside points, without which the factory would not be assured. He was in receipt of a letter from the architect of the refinery at Grand Island, Neb., who had erected the three largest refineries in the United States, saying the refinery here could be erected easily within six months. This gentleman said... copy of the resolution of thanks recently adopted by the board to General Shanklin, who represented the district at the State Association of irrigation districts at Sacramento. Mr. Holcomb declined to act as one of the experts on the books and accounts of the district, and Mr. Jennings was selected in his stead. Adjourned. RESOLUTIONS. At a meeting of the Board of Directors of the Anaheim Irrigation District held on the 7th day of February, 1893, the following resolutions were adopted: Resolved, That this board fully endorses the action of the State Irrigation Convention held in Sacramento in January of this year, and approves all the proposed amendments to the Wright Act. Resolved, That a vote of thanks be tendered to Gen. J. W. Shanklin for his representation of the Anaheim Irrigation District. Resolved, That this board contribute for the expenses on board legislation the sum of $50, to be sent to Hon. C. C. Wright, Chairman of said convention, and that the President and Secretary are hereby authorized to draw a warrant for the same. At an adjourned regular meeting of the Directors of the irrigation district held the 14th day of February, 1893, the following resolution was adopted, to wit: Resolved, That this board heartily approves of the proposed amendments to the Wright law, as prepared by the Executive Committee of irrigation districts and introduced by Hon. Mr. Carlson, and that we urge upon all our representatives in the Legislature and upon all members of the Legislature from districts where irrigation is practiced, that they use every effort possible to secure the passage of these bills. B. V. GARWOOD, Secretary. Miraflores Home. St. Valentine's Day, clear and cold. We have finished irrigating, having enough for the present. Plowing is well along. Mr. John Hanna received a large consignment of fruit trees from the north. He will set out twenty acres in fruit for F. Hanna of Los Angeles, also twenty acres for Messrs. Brown and Dickson of Los Angeles. Mr. Geo. C. Hagar is plowing his forty acres preparatory to setting the same out-to-fruit trees. Mr. Danforth has fifty acres in barley nicely up now. Mr. Wheaton's fields are green and several acres are now ready for corn. Orchards are the order of the day here at this point, and of the hundreds of acres sold by the land company in this immediate neighborhood very little, if any, will be Directors will push the matter with all possible dispatch, and if machinery falls to arrive or breaks down, or bounty is repealed, or Hawaii is annexed, so that we have to market our beets at China, we will relieve the Directory of all responsibility and assume it ourselves. The resolution was carried unanimously. Mr. Capitain referred to the good work that had been done by the Directors in gathering up stock. Many shares had been secured in Los Angeles and other outside points, without which the factory would not be assured. He was in receipt of a letter from the architect of the refinery at Grand Island, Neb., who had erected the three largest refineries in the United States, saying the refinery here could be erected easily within six months. This gentleman said there should be no reason why the refinery would not be up and in running order by the first of August, but Mr. Capitain said he would guarantee its erection about the first of September—certainly by the 15th. The meeting adjourned to the 27th inst., at 10 o'clock. Yesterday the stock books of the corporation were closed, and it is now impossible to secure additional stock except by purchase from stockholders. Extensive tracts are being plowed for best planting south and west of town, and it is probable that seeding will begin soon. There is yet a month or six weeks' time in which to commence seeding. The Road to Olive. Supervisor Schorn has collected the following amounts for the repair of the road from this city to the Olive bridge. The Olive Milling Company donates $100 for the work, and the citizens of this city are also very liberal with their donations. All those who desire to add their names to the list may do so by applying to Mr. Schorn. The following is the list: ANAHEIM, Cal., Feb. 1, 1893.

Today is Chinese New Year, and the heaters in Man Wo's and Dak Lee's high-binderies are prepared to whoop things up white. Travel to San Diego is unusually lively. The through express trains are composed of nine or ten cars, all of them pretty well filled with passengers. The Anaheim Water Company have brought suit against Timo Lynch, Esq., to quiet title to land involved in the ditch recently plowed in by that gentleman. It is reported that Governor Markham and a company of capitalists have purchased 190 acres of land at the old St. James townsite, and will make extensive improvements. The remnants of a highly intellectual Santa Ana wind, which blew a gale at Riverside, as evidenced by the clouds of dust in that direction, reached this city yesterday. Mr. Chynoweth will shortly move into the office in the Helmsen building adjoining this editorial office. He will make a good neighbor, and we propose having him write us an editorial once in a while. Painter Nemetz is decorating the premises recently occupied by Attorney Melrose in the Helmsen building, soon to be occupied by Attorney Chynoweth. He is doing a particularly fine job.

Tommy Morris, the Peat Land sprinter, will go to Chicago to enter the contest in the free-for-all 100 yard race during the World's Fair. All the crack sprinters will be present and Tommy proposes going against the beat of them. He has already sent forward his $200 entrance fee. Mr. T. J. Jones has issued circulars addressed to farmers who are not owners of stock in the sugar refinery and who may be desirous of planting beets for the factory. Farmers so situated may make satisfactory arrangements for best planting upon application to him. The sale of the material of the defunct Fullerton Journal was postponed from Saturday last until this morning at 10 o'clock, when Constable Landell informs us the outfit will be disposed of. There was only one bid on Saturday, that of Mr. Starbuck of Fullerton, who holds a $150 mortgage on the remains, and who bid that amount for it. John Schauman is engaged in manufacturing seven beet seeders at his blacksmith shop on Los Angeles street. The new implements are attracting much attention among the prospective beet raisers of this section. They are modeled after the seeder in use by Richard Gird at Chino, with some additions, for which John will probably apply for a patent. Arrangements are being made for a glove argument to finish between Billy Kennedy of San Francisco and Prof. Griffin, the colored champion of Redlands, the event to take place here a week from next Saturday evening. Kennedy is in the pink condition, and is big enough to put the "callud pusan" to sleep—that is the tip of the sporting editor. But there will be a contest, and each man will have some suspicion of having been in trouble. The event will take place under the auspices of a young men's athletic club that is now in course of formation, and will be entirely on the "level." An elegant silver water service was offered by Capt. J. B. Franklin, Adjutant of the Seventh Infantry, N: G. C., at the beginning of 1892 to the company whose team of fifteen men, shooting once a month during the year, should make the highest number of points. Regimental order No. 2, dated 2d inst., makes known the result, and awards the service to Company A of Los Angeles, with 6,786 points, or 75.40 percent. Our boys of Company G scored 5,328 points, or 71.04 percent. PERSONAL MELANGE. Dr. Kuoblauch contemplates removing the Los Angeles shortly to reside.

Isaac Lyons has just received a well-selected stock of machinery, including the Luftweiler cultivator, Planet Junior cultivator, plows, etc., suitable for this season of the year. He has been selected as the local agent for these goods, and is offering them at prices that defy competition. Mr. Gosch has recently received a quantity of guano for the fertilization of his orchard, which has probably the heaviest crop of fruit this year of any orchard in this section. He had the fertilizer spread upon the ground before the recent rains, so that the trees acquired a speedy and full benefit of it. There is an unsightly mud puddle on Center street, above the Santa Fe depot, and whenever it rains it rises to the dignity of a pond. Some of the wags of the neighborhood have decorated it with a board sign labeled "No Fishing Allowed." The puddle is a source of annoyance to travelers, and should be abated by the Trustees. Prof. Frantz is now in charge of the Anaheim agency of the Santa Ana steam laundry and will call for and deliver clothing in this city on Mondays and Fridays. This laundry does superb work and should be liberally patronized. The Professor states that all those having clothing to wash may leave the same at his tonsorial establishment if they choose, or they may leave orders and he will call for it. It is reported that Mr. Gilman has been offered $9,000 for his orange crop on the trees. As several firms of orange buyers are after the crop, it is likely the price will go above that figure. Last year, on account of the bad freeze at Riverside and in the San Gabriel Valley, the crop brought $13,500. The orchard contains twenty-three acres in bearing and the fruit this year is especially bright, clean and solid. Last Sunday afternoon a couple of Fullerton sports, after indulging freely in liquid refreshments in that town, and becoming quarrelsome, began to fight it out. No serious damage was done save a slight discoloration of one of the young men's right optic. The seto was the cause of further hostilities later between friends of the battered pugilists, but up to the hour of going to press no serious results have been reported. C. T.

Our boys of Company G scored 5,328 points, or 71.04 per cent. Companies A and C of Los Angeles are ahead of the local marksmen, but our boys are just a few points behind the best of them. Better luck next time. Marshal Steadman ran in six life-sized tramps on Saturday night, and on Monday Justice Landell gave them the benefit of twenty days in jail. They had broken into the residence of Jacob Kroeger, and were helping themselves to everything in the shape of edibles in sight when the owner appeared, in company with the Marshal and Officer Bentz, and with that they ran them in. They will be given a chance to reflect upon the error of their ways and enjoy the hospitality of Deputy Sheriff Buckley for twenty days. Complaint has been made that the band of Sonora cattle recently shipped here by the Sentous brothers of Los Angeles did considerable damage to growing crops on their way out to the Alamitos. The steers trumped down a lot of young barley, and made it necessary to replove several tracts that had been prepared for sugar beets. There is some talk of bringing action for damages. Four hundred and fifty head of cattle were the number in the first lot, and about two thousand more are on the way and will arrive shortly. It is almost impossible to keep them in the road, and they overrun the country to the detriment of some of the small farmers living on the route taken on the drive to the Alamitos. The matter of the repair of the county road between this city and Olive should engage the serious attention of our business men. The sum of $600 was some time ago transferred from the General Road Fund to this road district, but this amount has been exhausted, and Supervisor Schorn is now engaged in raising money by subscription for the repair of the road. The Olive Milling Company, with its usual liberality, have headed the list with a donation of $100, and the business men of this city have followed in a liberal manner. The road should be put in good repair, as it is one of the important thoroughfares leading into town. The following extract from a Toledo, Ohio paper contains a reference to Mrs. Collins, formerly a resident here, and will be read with interest by her many friends hereabouts: "There is no Big Sandy stock for sale.

Mr.SethMinorreturnedlastweekfromhis triparoundkite-shapedtrack.Hewabsenttendaysandtellsushefound The orchard contains twenty-three acres in bearing and the fruit this year is especially bright, clean and solid. Last Sunday afternoon a couple of Fullerton sports, after indulging freely in liquid refreshments in that town, and becoming quarrelsome, began to fight it out. No serious damage was done save a slight discoloration of one of the young men's right optic. The sette was the cause of further hostilities later between friends of the battered pugilists, but up to the hour of going to press no serious results have been reported. C. T. Platt, the steam well borer, who has probably the finest collection of well boring apparatus in Southern California, having completed the well at the city water works, has taken his departure for San Diego, where he has contracts to sink a number of wells. The engine, derricks and other apparatus, including the house on wheels covered with scriptural quotations in which the outfit live, were carried down by the Santa Fe freight, and proved to be objects of no little interest to those who gathered to see them off. Nothing succeeds like success, and Richards & Pringle's Famous Georgia Minstrels are a case in point. Their business has been on the increase each season, and from the excellent press notices they receive throughout the country their success is not difficult to explain. In the first place it is an exceptionally original and strong company, in fact the only recognized legitimate organization on the road. It is headed by Billy Kersands, whose versatility has placed him as the leading comedian of his race. Among other notables are James Grosby, Cheatem Bros., Billy Reynolds, James Moore, C. F. Alexander, W. O. Terry, the Great Ganze, and the celebrated Crescent City Quartette, of last season's "Alabama." The company will appear in Reiser's Opera-house to-morrow (Friday) night. Investigation by the Los Angeles Chamber of Commerce in regard to the condition of Eastern markets for California winter vegetables reveals the fact that at St. Louis there will be a good market for potatoes and cabbage for several months to come. These vegetables are now arriving in good condition and the average sells for $2 50 to $2 75 per crate of 125 pounds to 135 pounds net. The scarcity of cabbage, which sells for $40 per ton, has resulted in large quantities of imported cabbage being sent from New York. These cannot be sold at a price to compete with California new cabbage. The latest reports from Florida indicate that the frost The following extract from a Toledo, Ohio paper contains a reference to Mrs. Collins, formerly a resident here, and will read with interest by her many friends hereabouts: "There is no Big Sandy stock for sale. J. D. Cook is walking the street to-day with a gold mine in his pocket. J. M. Eley is home from California with good news for the company. It is a 13-acre mine owned by Toledo people. The company is composed of J. D. Cook, President; J. M. Eley, Secretary and Manager; Geo. Breyman, H. C. Thatchor, C. D. Lindsey, J. M. Eckles, Tom Hamilton, Miss Bouton and Mrs. Collins. Gold has been mined from the surface of the Big Sandy mine for the last two years. Lately Mr. J. M. Eley went out and lowered a shaft 100 feet when they struck a vein of fine gold. They have drilled some thirty feet along the vein, and find no end to it. This mine is on the same ridge with the one in which Marshall struck the first gold. All western mines are anxiously waiting for the Big Sandy developments. Nothing of the financial condition of the company could be ascertained, but Mr. Eley seems to be perfectly at ease concerning his money matters. He remarked, "None of us are looking for a job." From New River. Col. Everhart last week received the following note from Ed Morgan, detailing the experiences up to date of the party of brave New River voyagers. Their trip it would seem has been a rough one: WARNER'S P. O., San Diego Co. J. J. Everhart, Anaheim.-We arrived all O. K. and all well, considering the weather we have had. It is raining now and it rained on us at Murietta. We had a washout on the Santa Ana river, and had to make a road around the point of a bluff for 100 feet. We were there a half day at work. I expect to have a tough trip for the next three days. We are loaded very heavy and have the worst roads ahead. We have on eight bales of hay and ten sacks of grain.Regards to all.Ed Morgan. Geo. B. Warner, Orange County Nurseries, has for sale the best varieties of Apricots and Peaches and general nursery stock at low prices. Office and yard, Main street, near Fourth, Santa Ana.

John Hart, the enterprising piano manufacturer of Los Angeles, was in town on Saturday and made a very pleasant call at this office. John made a big winning in the lottery the other day, and is now enjoying all the luxuries of the season, including a Postoffice box of large dimensions to accommodate his constantly increasing mail. He divides his time between manufacturing and selling pianos and looking after his fine orange grove in town. Mr Seth Minor returned last week from his trip around the kite shaped track. He was absent ten days and tells us he found nothing on the trip that suited him better than Anaheim.Mr Minor's residence in East Cleveland, which overlooks Lake Erie, is within a stone's throw of the country residence of Mr. Rockefeller, the well-known speculator, and probably the richest man in America.Near him also, in the city of Cleveland, are the residences of Senator Payne and his father, the Standard Oil manipulator.Mr Minor is very favorably impressed with this section, and when he leaves for his home in the East, which is just now experiencing the severeest snowstorm in years, it will be with the determination to return to our glorious climate next year to settle down to become a permanent resident. C. C. Haley—Sixth Louisiana Volunteers—representing the well-known printing house of H.S.Crocker & Co.of San Francisco, was in town during the fore part of the week in the interest of his firm.He came down the Coast route,and made a journey over a hundred miles by stagecoach north of Santa Barbara.The next stage after him was washed away by the flood,and the passengers narrowly escaped with their lives.Haley was born under a lucky star,and is selling more goods on this trip than ever before.He was one of the Monterey's guests on that ship's trial trip.was at Sacramento when White was elected Senator,and attended the banquet in honor of that gentleman in Los Angeles last week.He manages to take in all the sights in this workaday world,and is getting younger and better looking every day.
