LATE NEWS OF THE WEEK Ed Morgan Returns From the Desert. Broken Down in Health He Comes Home for Medical Treatment—An Early Fire Yesterday Morning—Meeting of the Water Board—Three Tons More of Sugar Beet Seed Arrived and Being Planted—Interesting Correspondence—Personal. Ed Morgan is back from the New river country, his health badly shattered, and with probably the roughest experience to recount that he has yet come across in this region of the wild and woolly West. He left the camp on the desert last Wednesday afternoon, scarcely able to walk with rheumatism, and drove with Cherokee Walker two days to the Southern Pacific station at Flowing Wells, which they reached on Friday. He flagged the west-bound express train, which usually comes sailing by without stopping, and came into Los Angeles, where he arrived on Saturday, and came down home on Sunday morning. A couple of weeks ago he was taken with an attack of acute inflammatory rheumatism, and though much better yesterday afternoon, has been a very sick man indeed, as his looks will attest. He has lost twenty-five pounds since the second of February, when the expedition set out from this place to prospect for water on the desert. While at work upon the artesian well he overexerted himself, and a cold desert wind springing up during the night, he became chilled, and for want of proper medical treatment, coupled with the scant accommodations of the camp, was forced to leave for home to put himself under the doctor's care. The site of the well is located about forty-five miles west of Flowing Wells, on a broad valley of good land seventy miles across, rather inaccessible, and it takes two days to reach the railroad. With a load back to camp the round trip takes up ten days. There are no roads, and there was probably never another wagon in the country. On one trip to the railroad a heavy rain fell upon Morgan and Walker steadily for a day and night. There was no shelter for them until they reached the section house at Flowing Wells—the is no depot there. Some snake invaded a young orchard that Mr. Staley was planting and stole several young trees that had been planted the day before. A man who would steal trees would steal sheep. Mr. Staley has a clue to the thief and he is of the opinion that he don't live a thousand miles away. Quite a commendable rivalry exists among our various orchardists as to who can take the best care of their places. The result is, first, the trees flourish under the excellent care they get and, second, the neat appearance of the well-kept places attract attention and cause favorable comment. Let the good work go on and expand. The country can stand a good deal of this kind of enterprise. The walnuts are blooming full this year and prospects are for a good crop of nuts. Mr. and Mrs. Chas. V. Miller of Los Angeles were spending Sunday last with Mrs. McFadden, aunt of Mrs. Miller. The School Trustees have appointed Ben Krasmer as Consus Marahal. J. B. McCullough was down last week on a flying trip, as usual. A. Pierotti and C. W. Alma paid the Angel City visit on Saturday. Everything is booming. Crops never looked better. Potatoes and barley take the lead at present. Apricots will be very scarce. Peaches are fair. Oranges are rather on the hang-up at present, but cabbage is more steady. We understand there is to be Unitarian services on April 23d at the schoolhouse. The Choral society has resumed its meetings and all who are fond of good music and singing should attend every Sunday evening. AN EARLY BLAZE A SMALL FRAME BUILDING BURNED TO THE GROUND YESTERDAY MORNING At half-past 4 o'clock yesterday morning Ernest Bentz turned in an alarm of fire for the burning of a small frame building owned by George Miller, situated on Los Angeles street south of the Old City Hall. Mrs. Bentz, who was up at the time, observed a man apply a light to the front of the building, which was immediately set ablaze, and calling to her sons said a man was trying to burn the building. As the boys ran out of the house, the fire had achieved some headway, coal oil having evidently been placed upon it, and a man on horseback rode rapidly away, taking his course down Los Angeles street toward Broadway. There was every indication that the fire was of incendiary origin, but the man on horseback could not be identified in the dark. A large crowd of citizens responded at once to the alarm, but nothing could be done except to keep the flames from communicating to the adjacent buildings. The hook and ladder and hose cart were runers are not getting the benefit of the prices.

The site of the well is located about forty-five miles west of Flowing Wells, on a broad valley of good land seventy miles across, rather inaccessible, and it takes two days to reach the railroad. With a load back to camp the round trip takes up ten days. There are no roads, and there was probably never another wagon in the country. On one trip to the railroad a heavy rain fell upon Morgan and Walker steadily for a day and night. There was no shelter for them until they reached the section house at Flowing Wells—there is no depot there. The mules were put in the corral, and next morning were gone. They had broken out of the place, there being no water for them, and had set out to hunt tor water on the desert. Led by the deceptive mirage they had wandered as far as the Salton Sea, which is dry now, thirty miles away, where they were caught the next evening and with difficulty brought back to the corral. Water was procured at Mammoth Tank station, ten miles further on, and that night the trip back to camp was begun. What with the breaking of the wagon, which collapsed several times, the lack of water and the springing up of the dreaded desert sandstorm, the trip was not unattended with its element of danger. Half way to camp a water hole affords water for man and beast. It is a hole in the ground, probably twenty-two feet deep, in terraces, the first five feet, and the second seventeen, and it is necessary for a man to descend to the lower level and pass water up by the bucket full to a man on the terrace above. It is very laborious proceeding, but the well has probably saved many a life on the desert. Even with the heavy rains of the winter grass did not come up, and the cattlemen, with whom the region abounds to a greater or less extent have moved their cattle away. The land is considered valuable for early fruits and vegetables, as well as for cereal crops, if water can be had for irrigation. It is for this purpose that the party of prospectors set out from here in February to put down an artesian well. The well was down 320 feet when Morgan left last Wednesday afternoon, and progress is made on it at the rate of four to twelve feet a day. The prospectors are sanguine of success in finding water, in the hope for the fulfillment of which their friends here will heartily join them. At a depth of 171 feet a piece of wood was come across and brought to the surface. All the party are well. Mr. Littlefield stands desert life with evident relish, his single aim being to obtain a flowing artesian well. Frank Littlefield was knocked in the face with the windlas some weeks ago, but beyond a very black eye and a swollen nose, nothing serious happened. The party will probably be absent until the middle of May, or possibly the first of June. Mail for the train is thrown of at Flowing Wells, when the train goes by, and it is searched for when trips are made to the station for feed or freight. Packages of paper are tossed off, where they are found usually in good order. Letters are weighted with a piece of coal or other substance, and are generally found intact. Letters home are given to the track walker, who takes them down to Mammoth Tank, where the train stops to let the engine take water. It is a primitive mode of communication, but the best that exists at this time. The principal product of the desert is the rattler, who is indigenous to the soil, and who luxuriates to the extent of a considerable number throughout the entire region. Some of them are big followers and sportive and not proper medical treatment, coupled with the acant accommodations of the camp, was forced to leave for home to put himself under the doctor's care.

The principal product of the desert is the rattler, who is indigous to the soil, and who luxuriates so far the extent of a considerable number throughout the entire region. Some of them are big follows and sportive and not altogether unwilling to make one's acquaintance. Many of them have been killed by the prospectors—who are all of them in the best of health, with their motto, "water or bust." Mr. Morgan is at N. Hart's house, where he is receiving every attention. Mrs. Hart thinks she will be able to have him out in a day or two. He looks as though he had had a close brush with the grim spectre of the desert. A company of Denver capitalists are engaged in surveying a mammoth canal to bring water on the tract from the Colorado river. The canal will be a 150 miles long and 125 feet wide at the bottom. The surveyors were last week near the camp of well borers. FROM PLACENTIA. THE COUNTRY LOOKING SUPERBLY, AND THE WALNUT CROP PROMISING WELL EDITOR GAZETTE.—You ought to take a trip out through the country and see things grow. Barley is almost ready to cut for hay. Trees are in full bloom. The fragrance of the orange groves is almost oppressive with its perfume. The country never looked finer than at present. It is hoped that those who sowed, and will surely reap, will get pay for their work. The orange market is still dull, although many ears are moving. Those who have late fruit that is still solid should endeavor to hold it for better prices, which will prevail in May and June. The heavy crop in Florida and the heavy shipments from Europe knocked the market flat and it has not yet recovered; 268,400 boxes of oranges and 201,200 boxes of lemons arrived from foreign points during March, principally Palermo, Messina, Catania and Naples. If the orange growers will unite upon the plan proposed by the committee that met at Pomona, the foreign importation can be controlled if not altogether stopped, and the growers get remunerative prices. Oranges are selling about as dear from the fruit stands as in other years, but the grow- Superintendent Great read his report. Engineer Kellogg was instructed to set the grade stakes in sections 7 and 8 of the Cajon ditch. The President and Secretary were authorized to draw a warrant in favor of Mr. Sheppard for the amount due him on contract for ditch cleaning, when certified by the Engineer that the work has been satisfactorily completed. The dynamite and caps in possession of the company, used for blasting purposes, were ordered sold to Mr. Sheppard. The President and Secretary were authorized to draw warrants in favor of Zanjeros Kroeger and Henderson for the amounts due them on their reservation—money retained from their salaries for the faithful performance of work—less the amounts due from irrigators for water furnished in excess of what was paid for, and when the amounts are paid, the said balance is to be paid to them. Mr. Sheppard was instructed to complete the changes in the ditch on this side of the work he is doing at the head of the ditch under contract with the company, at the price named in the contract. A new note was issued to J. P. Zeyn for $5,000. The matter of constructing a telephone up the ditch was deferred until the next meeting. Mr. Botsford addressed the board relative to changes and improvements in the branch ditches. Measrs. Zeyn, Rust and Amerige were appointed a committee to investigate and report at the next regular meeting. William Parker addressed the board about the construction of a bridge across the ditch in front of his place on Walnut street, near South. No action taken. Secretary Garwood presented his bond, which was approved. It is in the amount of $2,000, and the suruesties are R. H. Gilman, F.A. Korn, W.A. Witte and Theo. Staley. The President and Secretary were authorized to borrow money not to exceed $2,000 at a rate of interest not to exceed 8 per cent. The matter of the ditch leading to J. B. Rea's place below town was referred to the Engineer and Superintendent. An assessment of fifty cents per share, the advertisement of which will be found in another column, was levied on the capital stock of the corporation, and the board adjourned.

Insembles his fellow men time to pat a man on what a prominent citizen he has done for the ten personal puffs when their personal prejudice as supporting the paper stands by the man That's about the way newspaper man can't much different from others.

Yesterday's ball game: Oakland 6, Los Angeles 3. Oh course! Dr. Reid has had the front of his drugstore decorated with a new coat of paint. C. H. Nickerson is building an addition, with a two-story front, to his residence in West Anheim. W. J. Colo has struck a fine three-and-a-half inch flow in his artesian well at a depth of 180 feet on his ranch at Hardescribble. Pay you taxes! On and after next Monday, April 24th, five per cent will be added to all taxes due and remaining unpaid up to that time. There was no quorum at the meeting of the Board of City Trustees on Tuesday evening and the board adjourned to next Tuesday evening. There will be Unitarian services at the Placentia schoolhouse Sunday, April 23rd, at half-past 3 o'clock p.m., by Rev. E. R. Watson of Santa Ana. All are invited. What a relief it must have been to ball cranks not to have read of any games on Monday and Tuesday! Los Angeles was not defeated—they didn't play! John Schauman is doing a rushing business in the mowing machine line. Harvesting is at hand and John is selling more machinery for the harvest than ever before. As we go to press Charley Bailey comes in from the Olinda ranch with a box of his famous oranges, which we shall proceed to sample with a great deal of gusto. Thanks, very much, Charles, and call again! The divorce case of Mrs. Jean Bonnet (nee Mary Morris) against her husband, which was filed in the Superior Court on Tuesday, has we understand been amicably adjusted, and will be dismissed by consent of both parties. A fire at Redondo Beach shortly after midnight yesterday morning destroyed property to the value of $50,000. Among the losses is the grocery store of Isaac Coben and brother, formerly of this city, who lose $5,000, and were unsusured. Mrs. Vinson's stock of mullinery goods has arrived, and in our local advertising columns she extends an invitation to the ladies of this vicinity to call and inspect the same. Opening days to-morrow and Saturday. The Directors of the co-operative beet company met on Monday and formed month rent for a single room, and has been served with notice that after the first of May the tax will be $120 per month. His salary is $100 per month. Clarence Parker, who is on a trip to Chicago to see the fair, writes that he paid $3 50 for a night's lodging on the tenth floor of a hotel, the rate on the ninth floor being $7 50, and on the ground floor about fourteen thousand five hundred. Visitors to the fair had better take a sack along. Millionaires live on coffee and doughnuts, and put de foi gras is a drug in the market. Commissioner Perry burned 430 apricot trees at Fullerton one day last week, that had been imported from Missouri, and were infested with peach borer. A number of orange trees infested with woolly aphids were also discovered at that place by the Commissioner, who has an eagle eye and is alert in his business. The orange trees had been set out in orchard, and Mr. Perry gave the orchardist ten days to grub them out and burn them, which is the provision of the law, failing in which the Commissioner will destroy them himself. The party of frisky campers who came over from San Antonio canyon a couple of weeks ago and went down to the Landing for an outing have compromised the amount of their damages by paying $100 to John McGarvin and $5 to Harry Reisbeck, whose property they took a hand in destroying. McGarvin's seine was ruined, and Harry sustained $5 worth of damage to his household goods. These San Antonio people have been taught a very salutary lesson, and the next time they visit the Landing and rip things up the back the boys say they may bear something drop. The Odd Follows of this city, accompanied by their friends to the number of probably sixty-five or seventy, will go to Riverside on Wednesday next to join with the Odd Follows of that city in the celebration of the seventy-fourth anniversary of the institution of the order in this country. They will go on the 7 o'clock south-bound train, and there will be several trains back during the evening. The band will go with them. The Riverside Odd Fellows are making great preparations for a grand good time, and an excellent programme has been arranged. Tickets $1 25 for the round trip; half fare, 65 cents. On sale at Harker's. Considerable annoyance has been caused during the past few days on account of the "yellow flies," which appear on the mesa usually about this time every year, and stay with us about ten days or two weeks. They are said to be unusually severe upon horses this trip, and they have appeared in larger numbers than usual. It is not an uncommon sight to see horses covered with netting. PERSONAL MELANGE. Mrs. W. F. Robinson visited at the Olinda ranch a few days this week, the guest of Mrs. Beatty. Frank Rimpau was down from Los Angeles on a visit on Sunday. He was accompanied by Dr. Zabala. A.C. Daniels of Danville, Illinois, is visiting old-time friends in town and is the guest of the families of J. A. Davis and W. R. Harker. The celebrated pianist Senior Don Carlos Sobrino and his wife, recently from the other side, were the guests of Mr. and Mrs. Friese on Tuesday. Joseph Helmsen has been confined to his bed during the week with a serious attack of rheumatism. This will never do; we want to see the Landlord up and about again. Ernest Everhardy was down from Los Angeles on Sunday on a visit to his parents. Ernest is now employed in Maier's meat bookkeeper. Mr. and Mrs. Godfrey Stock of Lamanda Park spent several days here last week visiting with friends and relatives. Miss Annie Boege, who has been visiting them at the Park for some time past, returned home last week. Miss Vore of last year's corps of teachers here, accompanied by her sister, Miss Rachael Vore, recently from Iowa, were guests of Dr. and Mrs. Hunt several days last week. They left on Monday for their home in Pasadena. County School Superintendent J. P. Greely was in town yesterday, making arrangements for the calling of an election for a high school here and in the union district composed of Fullerton, Placentia, Orange-thorpe and Buena Park. Mr. R.C. Archibald was in from the Park yesterday to get some best seed to plant on his ranch. Last year he raised twenty tons of big beets to a quarter of an acre. This year he will go in for less tonage and more saccharine. Mrs. Florence Richards of Ohio, a national lecturer, will be in Anaheim and lecture in the Presbyterian Church Saturday evening, April 22d. Mrs. Richards is a fine lecturer, and holds her audiences spell-bound with the magical flow of words from beginning to close. Miss Lucy Wagner was given a farewell party by a number of her friends at her home in Placentia on Saturday evening. A fire at Redondo Beach shortly after midnight yesterday morning destroyed property to the value of $50,000. Among the losses is the grocery store of Isaac Cohen and brother, formerly of this city, who lose $5,000, and were uninsured. Mrs. Vinson's stock of millinery goods has arrived, and in our local advertising columns she extends an invitation to the ladies of this vicinity to call and inspect the same. Opening days to-morrow and Saturday. The Directors of the co-operative beet sugar company met on Monday and formulated a call for a special meeting of stockholders in the corporation to be held at Kroeger's Hall on May 27th next, the advertisement of which will be found in another column. Ike Williams began on Monday the grading of the new county road from Ball's place to Hardscrabble. This will probably be the future road to the Landing, unless the old road is opened up, and Ike is doing a particularly fine job on it. The Directors of the irrigation district hold a meeting Tuesday for the purpose of engaging attorneys. The contract with Wilson & Lamme has expired, and the board is moving to secure talent to fill the vacancy. As yet no law firm has been engaged. A bee man named Johnson, living in Brea Canyon, lost a valuable four-day-old colt last night, which was killed by coyotes. The coyotes came down to the corral and slaughtered the colt in the night time, but were unable to make away with the carcass, and were driven away in the morning. The Board of Supervisors have made the following new appointments under the provisions of the new County Government bill: D. T. Brock, Clerk of the Court of Supervisors; W. H. Bowers, Register of Deeds; Theo. Lacy, Jailer; Theo. Lacy, Court Bailiff; Jacob Rosa, Transcriber. Antonio Miranda, the Mexican who was to have been sequestered for embezzlement in the Superior Court last Saturday, he having been found guilty of selling a rig which he had hired from Lewis' stable, has been granted a stay of ten days to prepare an affidavit for a new trial. Julius Schneider has our thanks for a box of the finest looking oranges we have seen this season. They are from his young crebard, are large, bright, clean and well flavored, and would command the topmost prices in any market in the land. Everything that Julius raises is of the premier sort, and his oranges are no exception to the rule. Mr. Fowler is in receipt of a telegram from Mr. Kjelgaard in New York, saying that his report on the beet sugar outlook meets with much favor among the capitalists he represents, and that the proposition to erect a refinery here has been favorably entertained. Mr. Kjelgaard telegraphs that a letter follows his telegram, the arrival of which will be awaited with much interest by our citizens. There is no doubt that we are going to have a sugar factory here next season. The second consignment of three tons of beet seed arrived last Friday from Chino and is now being distributed. Already five tons — A fire at Redondo Beach shortly after midnight yesterday morning destroyed property to the value of $50,000.

They are said to be unusually severe upon horses this trip, and they have appeared in larger numbers than usual. It is not an uncommon sight to see horses covered with nettings to protect them from these insects. They have appeared in awards on the La Habra, and have succeeded in setting horses almost crazy over on the foothills. A farmer in that direction some years ago was compelled to do his cultivating at night, as his horse could not stand the flies in daytime. — While driving a band of cattle from the Chino onto the Olunda ranch last Friday Viet Benz and Charly Bailey came upon a big rattlesnake lying in the road which immediately showed fight. Mr. Bailey distanced from his horse and had no trouble in dispatching the reptile, which measured four feet in length and sported ten rattles. When opening the scales on the ranch a short time after to weigh the cattle, Mr. Bailey found another snake encosed within the scales and killed him. Snakes of all varieties seem to be unusually plentiful in the hills, and picnic parties had best be on their guard for the varmints. — On the ostrich farm at Placentia a number of the female birds are now setting, and eggs are also being hatched out by an incubator. In each wing of an ostrich twenty-six white plumes grow to maturity every eight months, and seventy-five short feathers are plucked for tips from each wing sixty-five of the tail feathers have commercial value. The female ostrich lays seventy eggs a year. The feathers are worth $35 to $75 per pound, and are in good demand. A few days ago a large shipment of feathers was made from this farm to London, showing that this county has established a reputation abroad for this industry, as well as in its numerous other products. — While Mr. Bowers, the Norwalk senior artist, was riding with a lady in a buggy at Olive last Sunday afternoon his horse took fright at a passing bicycle and overturned the vehicle, precipitating both occupants to the ground. A very bad smash-up resulted, the buggy top coming off completely, and the shaft and several of the spokes splintered. Fortunately no injuries were sustained by the occupants of the buggy, and after procuring another rig at Olive Mr. Bowers drove into town. The demolished buggy, one of Lewis' rigs, was taken to Schumann's blacksmith shop, where it has been an object of some curiosity ever since. Mr. Bowers says that he will have to do a lot of chin scraping to pay for his ride, but he would like to make the acquaintance of the bicyclist, who got out of sight as soon as possible. — During week petitions to the Board of Supervisors have been circulated and numerously signed asking them to take steps to straighten the channel and strengthen the banks of Santa Ana river, and to open the old Landing road. A petition to the County School Superintendent has also been numerously signed asking him to — Park yesterday to get some best seed to plant on his ranch. Last year he raised twenty tons of big boots to a quarter of an acre. This year he will go for less tonage and more saccharine. Miss Lucy Wagner was given a farewell party by a number of her friends at her home in Placentia on Saturday evening. The young lady has taken her departure for Elizabeth Lake, where she will visit with relatives and friends for some months. Governor Markham was at Olive one day last week, looking up his real-estate interests there. The Governor has lately purchased a large tract of land south of Olive and will divide it and place it upon the market. He was the guest of Mr. H. K. Small of Olive mill. Charley Cook was in town from South Riverside over Sunday, renewing old acquaintances. He informs us at the Temescal tin mines were sold bythe Sheriff some days ago,and thatthe shutdown is nothing less than a permanent abandonment of work there. Henry C.

Already five tons of beet seed have been planted hereabouts, and the total acreage to be seeded will probably be greater than was at first supposed. Estimates go as high as fifteen hundred acres, and the total output of beets probably to twenty thousand tons, and perhaps more. The farmers have taken hold of beet planting with a will, and unless all signs fail will not a larger return for their crop than they have experienced in many years past. A newspaper man is in some instances like other people. He respects his friends, appreciates a kindness and is always willing to return a favor. In other respects he resembles his fellow men. He will not continue to pat a man on the back, tell him what a prominent citizen he is, how much he has done for the town and give him free personal puffs when that man will not throw personal prejudice aside or otherwise aid in supporting the paper. In other words he stands by the man who stands by him. That's about the way of the world, and a newspaper man can't be expected to be so much different from other people. A pleasant surprise party was tendered Mr. and Mrs. Frank Watts at their home in West Anahiem last Saturday evening. A very enjoyable time was had dancing and playing parlor games. Refreshments were served, to which ample justice was done, after which the guests took their departure, wishing their amiable host and hostess many happy returns of the pleasant event. Among those present were Mr. and Mrs. Watts, Mr. and Mrs. Lyle, Mr. and Mrs. Pike, Miss Dat Stephens, Miss Fay Stephens, Miss Mary, Lucy and Bettie Ball, Miss Anna Pike; Messrs. Robert Dunn, Joe Reid, John Henry, Arch Henry, Bud Paty, O. P. Ball, John Abbey, H. Haywood, Joe M. Smith, B. H. Hiss, Alex Henry and others. A private letter from Chicago gives us some insight into the hotel charges at the World's Fair City. J. C. Jophin, manager of the Orange County exhibit, rooms fifteen miles from the postoffice and pays $60 a During the week petitions to the Board of Supervisors have been circulated and numerously signed asking them to take steps to straighten the channel and strengthen the banks of the Santa Ana river, and to open the old Landing road. A petition to the County School Superintendent has also been very numerously signed asking him to call an election in this school district to take the sense of the people on the formation of a district high school. To comply with the law the latter must contain a majority of the names of all beams of families appearing on the last census. The petition was signed almost unanimously, very few refusing to sign it, and has been forwarded to the County School Superintendent, who has called an election on May 6th next. The outside districts will vote on the union high school district on April 29th. Tom Hannon was down from Los Angeles last Thursday, showing the merits of a new six-foot McCormick mower, the largest yet seen in this section. The machine worked to a nicety, and Mr. Hannon was given a very flattering testimonial as to its work by the crowd of spectators present. Hannon had the bad luck to be shot in the region of the stomach in Los Angeles some days ago, and at one time was reported dangerously wounded, but is now as well ever and, although the ball has not been extracted, pays no attention to it, and goes along as if nothing had happened. He had been out with a friend at the time of the shooting, and in attempting to leave him entered the parlor of their lodging house and closed the door in his face. The fellow yanked out his revolver and fired live shots through the door, one of the bullets grazing Hannon's nose and the other boring into the region of the abdomen. Hannon was laid up for a few days, but is now, we are pleased to say, all right again. The other fellow skipped off to Mexico, and has not since been seen. Millinery Goods.
