LATE NEWS OF THE WEEK Serious Results of the Recent Rainstorm. Railroad Bridges Left in a Shaky Condition and Traffic Delayed Repairs Being Made—City Fathers Discuss Electric Lights—The Water Company—Queer Story of Buried Tensure—Personnel Mention. The heaviest rainstorm of the season began at midnight Sunday night and continued almost uninterruptedly until Monday night at midnight. Mr. Dickel's gauge registered 2.62 inches for the storm, and 15.96 for the season. Mr. Nebelung's gauge showed 3.02 inches for the storm, and 16.50 for the season. Last year to date we had only 5.71 inches. Had we had another inch of rain the damage to railroad tracks would have been disastrous. Both the Southern Pacific and Santa Fe bridges over the Santa Ana river were found to be in a shaky condition yesterday, and it was impossible to move trains over them until repairs were made. Another inch of rain would probably have washed them away. During Monday the rain descended in sheets, causing the water on the river to flow over the levee and cut out a channel this side of the Olive bridge carrying away the approach. After sweeping through the new channel, which is just thus side of the bridge, the water returned to the river bed. The water flowed under the bridge in torrents. There was plenty of water in the sandwash, and parties in from Placentia had to come down to the sandwash bridge to get over. In the neighborhood of this city no serious damage was done by the rains, except the washing out of the approach to the Olive bridge. Some of the roads are washed out in places, notably the new road across the sandwash west of town, and some barley has been lodged. Sorious washouts occurred on both railroads, and yesterday the regular 9 o'clock southbound San Diego express train on the Santa Fe was detained here, on account of the shaky condition of the big bridge over the Santa Ana river. The engine was detached from the train and ran down to the bridge, finding it unsafe to attempt to cross it with the train, and returned and pulled the train back to Los Angeles. The work train was sent down to repair the bridge, and yes streets, under instructions—hence the advanced price. The bill was allowed. Isaac Lyons asked the council to repair the gutters in front of his store. The same will be attended to. A communication was received from Recorder Pierce in regard to the three dollars charged to him, which was deducted from a fine of $7.50 he recently imposed upon an offender. In payment of the fine the Judge took an order from the prisoner instead of the cash. The order proved to be of no value, hence the difficulty. The Judge's claim to have the three-dollar charge cancelled was denied. A communication was received from Wm. Konig, asking that a number of town lots on his premises be reverted to acreage property. The request will be granted provided Mr. Konig satisfies the board that he possesses a clear title to the land. Adjourned. At the adjourned meeting of the board held last Thursday evening the following business was transacted: The Marshal's report was received, showing collections for water and licenses for March amounting to $363 50. The Treasurer's report was received and filed, showing a balance on hand in the city treasury on February 14th of $1,213 39. The reports of the Clerk and Recorder were received and filed. All the reports were referred to the Finance Committee. Michael Neipp's proposition to grade Walnut street from Broad street to Center for $75 was accepted. Superintendent O'Kraffke addressed the board in husky German dialect about the advisability of the city buying seven new street lamps. The lamps were ordered. Trustee Rust was given power to have several bad chuckholes on Center street filled up. N. H. Mitchell was notified to place a culvert in front of his barn on Los Angeles street. The matter of sinking a pump pit around the new city wells was left to the Committee on Public Improvements with power to act. Bills to the amount of $348 71 were audited and ordered paid. A fire hydrant was ordered placed at the corner of Sycamore and Los Angeles streets. THE WATER COMPANY. AN EXECUTION TO BEGIN AGAINST DR. GARDINER'S BONDSMEN. The Board of Directors of the Anaheim Union Water Company met in regular session on Saturday. Present, Messrs McFadden, Tuffee, Bottsford, Zeyn, Rust and Kellogg, Absent, Amerige.

The engine was detached from the train and ran down to the bridge, finding it unsafe to attempt, to cross it with the train, and returned and pulled the train back to Los Angeles. The work train was sent down to repair the bridge, and yesterday afternoon the 11:55 train went over it on its regular south-bound run. The morning train followed it, several hours belin'time. On the Southern Pacific bridge over the river was also in a shaky condition, and yesterday the work train was busy repairing it. The Santiago creek bridge was partly washed away. It is very badly damaged and it will be some days before travel may be resumed over it. The road also sustained bad washouts above Downey. The storm has been especially severe on the orange packers, and no picking has been possible while the wet weather continued. Yesterday the weather was pleasant and the indications were fair weather. The storm is over, and there will probably be little more rain this season. The Los Angeles base ball club are washed out somewhere in the wilderness down about Oceanude, and fears have been entertained that they would not be able to reach Los Angeles in time to take part in the opening game next Saturday. A special wire from Manager Lindley afternoon, however, brought consultation to the ball cranks in the information that the club will be on hand all right next Saturday and make it interesting for the Stockton players. CITY FATHERS AN ELECTRIC LIGHT FRanchise EXTENDING TEN YEARS TO BE GIVEN JOE DES GRANGES. The Board of City Trustees met in regular session at the City Hall on Tuesday evening. Present, full board. The Clerk read the minutes of the last regular meeting, which after correction were approved. The Committee on Public Improvements reported on the repairs needed on the railroad crossing on Walnut street. Mr. Darling had informed the committee that the approaches to the track would be repaired if the board would notify the railroad company to fix the same. Trustee Rust reported on repairing chuckholes on Center street, all of which had been repaired, except the disagreeable hole near the Griffith warehouse, which will be fixed shortly. In regard to sinking the casing around the city well, Trustee Conrad reported that Charlie Albrecht would do the job and put everything in first-class condition for $75, the city to furnish all the material. All the above recommendations were approved by the committee except the one relating to the wooden casing at the city well, which was objected to by Trustee Schindler, who argues that it is not good policy to construct the same. He recommended that a substantial brick caisson would be better than the wooden one. The matter of planting trees on public highways was discussed by the council. The corner of Sycamore and Los Angeles streets. THE WATER COMPANY AN EXECUTION TO BEGIN AGAINST DR. GARDINER'S BONDSMEN. The Board of Directors of the Anaheim Union Water Company met in regular session on Saturday. Present, Messrs. McFadden, Tuffree, Bottsford, Zoyn, Rust and Kellogg. Absent, Amerige. The ditch along the north line of South Street was ordered abandoned, as soon as the ditch on West street, built to take its place, is in order and ready for use. Director McFadden reported on the business of the law committee. The Secretary read Superintendent Groat's report of work done during his incumbency. The Superintendent was instructed to run water to Mr. Bottsford's place from the reservoir. The following resolution was adopted: That this company pay $150 towards a pipe line 1320 feet long across Bottsford's ranch, the total cost of said pipe line to be about $400; Mr. Bottsford to pay all expenses above $150 and to guarantee the work for one year. The entire pipe line to be the property of this company, Mr. Bottsford giving the company a bill of sale for the same. The following notes, which had been made by the President and Secretary, were approved: Emily and Louise Webmeyer, $2000; Mrs. Koll, $1018; Mrs. Adela Brownning, $6700; Carlos Moho, $330; Mrs. Strodtholt, $2700; H. A. Strodtholt, $1000; Mrs. Agnes Werner, $2530; Mrs. Carolina Ey, $5000; Mrs. Katrina Menzel, $500; Mrs. Bittner, $3000. The board agreed to borrow $1000 from Mr. Hale. The matter of the completion of the head of the ditch, as per plan of Mr. Bottsford, was deferred until the next meeting. In the matter of the deficiency of ex-Secretary J. S. Gardiner, Attorney Melrose was instructed to begin execution at once against his bondsmen, to-wit: Leonard Parker and D. J. Kraemer. The amount of the deficiency is about $1200, and suit to recover the same has resulted in favor of the company. Mr. Crowther appeared before the board and complained of damages done by washing along the south side of his ranch. The matter was referred to Superintendent Groat, and the board adjourned. Sugar Beet Seed. EDITOR GAZETTE.-Any farmer, whether a stockholder in the Anaheim Co-operative Beet Sugar Company or not, can get sugar beet seed Wednesdays and Saturdays, at fifteen gents per pound at the warehouse, opposite the S. P. R. R. depot. It is very desirable that any farmer who ever expects to raise sugar beets should plant this year for practice. One thousand acres will be planted within six miles of Anaheim. Arrangements have been made with the Messrs. Oxnards at Chino to take all the sugar beets we can send them. They will be handled as follows: Cara will be secured by the Agricultural Department of the Anaheim Cooperative Beet Sugar Company at stations near the beet fields. A man will be at the car to receive the beets as they arrive from the farmer, keep each lot separate (when there are enough to make it possible), send invoice to Chino in the name of shipper and see to it that each receives his proper receipt price. No services were copal Church last George Robinson from home in institution dispersed with discourse. It has Mr. Robinson on mail crossroad which had been repaired, except the disagreeable hole near the Griffith warehouse, which will be fixed shortly. In regard to sinking the casing around the city wells, Trustee Conrad reported that Charlie Albrecht would do the job and put everything in first-class condition; for $75, the city to furnish all the material. All the above recommendations were approved by the committee except the one relating to the wooden casing at the city well, which was objected to by Trustee Schindler, who argues that it is not good policy to construct the same. He recommended that a substantial brick caisson would be better than the wooden one. The matter of planting trees on public highways was discussed by the council. The matter of keeping property clean in front of citizens' premises in the city limits also came up for discussion. It was given out that the board could not enforce the same; and so the matter rests for the present. Trustee Witte asked about the using of the scraper on the public streets, to which Trustee Schindler replied that the same would have been used long ago if there had been sufficient money in the city treasury to reimburse the laborers hired to use them. No action was taken. A resolution was introduced by Trustee Pellegrin repealing the contemplated franchise offered Messrs. Clamans & Palmer of Los Angeles to put in an electric light plant in this city. It is probable that Joo des Granges will be consulted in the matter and that he will perfect an electric plant which will very likely prove to be satisfactory to our citizens. We need an electric light plant here and the sooner the matter is perfected the better it will satisfy the public. Mr. des Granges agrees to furnish incandescent lights of 16 candle power to the city for one cent an hour till midnight; are lights to cost 33 cents an hour. The general public will be charged double these prices. It was the sense of the board to grant Mr. des Granges an exclusive franchise for ten years, the terms and conditions of the same to be arranged between the city and himself at some future date. Trustees Rust, Pellegrin and Conrad were appointed a committee to confer with Mr. des Granges, to perfect plans and report on the same at the next regular meeting. Mr. Mitchell was again notified to repair the obstruction in front of his property on Los Angeles street at once or the city will do it at his expense. The Marshal was given instructions relative to the keeping of stallions within the city limits. The bill of Wommer & Halpin for $77 65 for hauling gravel last month was discussed at some length. The bill called for $1 50 per square yard, and the board claimed the price ought to have been $1 25. It was explained to the board that the gravel was handled twice—it having been stored in the firm's yard here and afterward put on theirable that any farmer who ever expects to raise sugar beets should plant this year for practice. One thousand acres will be planted within six miles of Anaheim. Arrangements have been made with the Messrs. Oxnards at Chino to take all the sugar beets we can send them. They will be handled as follows: Cars will be secured by the Agricultural Department of the Anaheim Cooperative Beet Sugar Company at stations near the beet fields. A man will be at the car to receive the beets as they arrive from the farmer, keep each lot separate (when there are enough to make it possible), send invoice to Chino in the name of shipper and see to it that each receives his proper returns. The price to be paid is $3 50 per ton for beets containing 12 per cent of sugar, and 40 cents per ton for each additional per cent. Freight charges will be $77 cents per ton, and we have no expense for unloading. Doubtless every friend of our enterprise is very much disappointed that we will not have our own refinery this year. We all know that we have not been in shape to offer our security to capitalists until this month. Suppose our first, or second, or third attempt should fail, is that any reason for becoming discouraged? We say emphatically, no. Did the Directors of the Anaheim Irrigation District give up all effort at their first disappointment to sell their bonds? Certainly not, but they persevered, with the support of some and the opposition of others, until their perseverance has resulted in success. And we hope that that success will help enrich the whole district. The benefit to be derived from the establishment of a sugar refinery in our midst will be of sufficient importance to all of us who are farmers, to nerve us up to be patient, and do all we can to forward the enterprise. What can we do? Plant all the beets for which we have land. Keep in good heart. Give the Directors our moral support, by our own determination to stand by them in word and act, remembering that every adverse criticism at this time, instead of doing any good, only clogs the wheels, and delays our desired success. T. J. Jones A Lender.

When in the neighborhood of the Backs grove, north of town, their horse took fright and became unmanageable and started to run. The cart was overturned and the two ladies were thrown violently to the ground.

In going into the stable the cart, which up to this time had escaped injury, was smashed against the door, when the horse was caught and unharnessed. The two ladies made their way into town at best they could, having sustained nothing more serious than a severe shaking up. Mr. Fowhr is in receipt of letters from the Oxnards o the Chino sugar factory, saying that they will take ten thousand tons of sugar beets this season, or more if necessary, at $350 per ton for beets of 12 per cent saccharine, and forty cents per ton for each additional percent.

Judge Pierce joined two loving hearts in wedlock on Monday when he pronounced Thomas R. Morris, a native of Virginia, aged 28 years, and Rosa E. Malcolm, a native of California, aged 18, man and wife. The happy groom had gone up to Los Angeles on Friday to meet his fair bride, who The Centralia Cremery. The Centralia cremery will soon be in operation. The building is now in course of construction and it will not be many days before the raw milk will be pouring into the "extractor" and coming out gilt-edged butter at the rate of at least 120 pounds per day. This is the capacity at present, as gauged by the quantity of milk now obtained, but the farmers of the vicinity are making preparations to add to their stock of cows, and it is a safe production that shortly after the cremery commences operations the daily output will average 150 pounds of butter. We shall take pleasure in enlightening our readers further as to this new enterprise, as the manner of making butter is entirely to this part of the world, and we feel satisfied from what we have learned that the enterprise will be a success. The interests of Anaheim are just that much advanced by this new industry. Young Folks' Party. The B. S. C. club gave another of their delightful hops at the Del Campo last Saturday evening, when a very pleasant time was enjoyed by all. Those present were Misses Cora Scott, Lizzie Friese, Effie Kelogz, Jettie Arthur, Flora Davis, Stella Scott, Lilly Robinson, Addie Spoerl, Stella Lewis, Blanche Mitchell, Fritzie Heimann, Meta Polhemus, Jessie Molrose, Winifred Melrose; Messrs. Capitain, Mack, Charles Fay, Peter Weisel, Will Freise, Adair Scott, Hugh Strodthoff, Guy Lovering, Ben Porter, Ralph Hunter, Guessie Strodthoff, Horr James, Fred Lewis, Harry Davis, Adolph Luodka, Fd Schultz, Harry Dyer, Ed Boege and others. Mr. Sandilands was in from his Placentia orange grove yesterday. He has not disposed of his crop, which is composed of the highest quality of fruit, but will hold for firmer prices, which are likely to prevail in a month. His mother and sister and Miss MoNab, who have been visiting at her ranch for some weeks past, have shortly taken their departure for the East, and will leave for their home in England in the Fall. Mrs. Sandilands will probably return with her family next year, and become a permanent resident. Supervisor Yoch was over yesterday after noon in consultation with Supervisor Schorn and Engineer Kellogg in reference to the practicability of extending the Olive bridge some distance this way. The high waters wash out the approach to the bridge every winter, and it has been advised that the bridge be extended sufficiently length to cover the depression. The bridge should have been made at least a hundred feet longer in the first place, and it is probable the structure will be extended, as both the Supervisors are favorably impressed with the idea of extending it, and will probably report in favor of the same at the next meeting of the board. A. J. Pillsbury, editor of the Tulare Register, who has been on a visit to the many points of interest throughout Southern California, was in Anaheim on Saturday and made a pleasant call at this office. Mr. Pillsbury was Secretary of the State association of irrigation districts, and is particularly well informed on matters pertaining to irrigation. He resigned position some time ago, on account of business engagements. He reported the Tulare irrigation district getting along nicely, with its system of irrigation almost completed. He left or the evening train for Los Angeles, and after visiting the different towns in that neighborhood he would take his departure for his home. Judge Landell must have been born under an unlucky star, or else have looked at the new moon over the wrong shoulder. At any rate he is out of luck. A couple of weeks ago, when it was raining so hard Monday morning that he couldn't come into town from his residence at Centralia, a fat docker of Sunday evening offenders awaited his august pleasure until it was found he could not come in, and then they were taken to Police Court No. 2 (Judge Pierce presiding) for trial. Last Monday again, his ill fate pursued him when he was detained at home by the heavy rain and missed a fat marriage fee; after the happy couple had been looking for him high and low. The Judge is thinking of remaining in town over Sunday night when it rains or else go into training to swim in. Meanwhile Judge Pierce is doing quite well. NEW ADVERTISEMENTS.
