LATE NEWS OF THE WEEK. Annual Meeting of A. U. W. Co. Stockholders. A New Board of Directors Elected—Statement of the Board of Audit—Indebtedness of the Company—The Railroad Situation—Surveyors Run Their Line from Town to the Refinery Site—Kicks on the Right of Way—Social Notes and Personals. It's a funny thing that whenever there are seven offices in the gift of the people to be stow upon seven worthy and self-sacrificing patriots, there are always eight men after them. That is the curious commentary on the ambitious propensities of the grasping thing called man. There were eight candidates for the seven offices of Director in the water company a year ago; there were quite as many the year before, and so on until a period whereof the memory of the oldest inhabitant runneth not to the contrary. There were eight candidates for these seven offices on Monday, and one of them necessarily, like the blooming sparrow that Captain Ferguson tells about, went up the "bloody spout." He has our sympathies. He will probably stay there until such time as the rain comes down to "wash the beggar out." Mr. Kellogg was shy some two or three thousand votes, and as he was the only candidate to declare himself on the water question and set forth his platform of principles through the columns of The Gazette, his defeat speaks well, not only for himself, but also for the influence of his remarks upon the people. Mr. Botsford walked away with the works. He is the moneyed man and arch conspirator of the combination, and all the ills of the water question in and out of season are attributable to him. He is said to have secured an option lately upon four thousand acres of land in the La Habra valley, and the report prevailed that he would buy a sufficient quantity of the new stock—which wasn't issued—to flood the land and make it to blossom as the rose. When asked about this matter, he smiled and said it wasn't so. When Kellogg was seen to be running behind at the election on Monday—the vote being held by the cumulative system—Mr. Botsford, who controlled enough shares to company as appears by the water ledger, being amounts due irrigators for water not yet delivered, as follows: Due to irrigators... $599 99 Due from irrigators... 39 57 Not due... $560 42 The apparent inconsistency of the above statements, which show a decrease in bills payable of $3,072, and at the same time an increase of the net indebtedness of $2,535 12, is due to the fact that in December, 1892, an assessment was levied amounting to $6,885, of which only $199 had been paid up to January 1, 1893, but the balance due of $6,686 was deducted from the total indebtedness of the company on that date, while that amount, being paid in during January, 1893, appears as cash receipts in the past year's report given above. There being quite a discrepancy between the (B. V. Garwood) Secretary's account and the bank book, we thought it time well spent to straighten the same out with the result that we found the amount due from the Bank of Anaheim, namely $311 65, to be correct, and the Secretary has made the necessary corrections in the ledger account to make the same agree. The monthly payrolls of the company were in much better shape than those in 1892, with the exception of the March payroll, which owing to errors and subsequent corrections, put the same in such condition, that we did not feel justified in spending the time required to prove the same, but accepted the figures approved by the Finance Committee and passed upon by the Board of Directors, the footings being found correct. In the July payroll we found an error of $100 in footing up, which had been made by the Finance Committee, and had passed undetected. We find a balance of $103 23 to the credit of labor and interest account, with outstanding warrant's amounting to $107 62, which would leave a deficiency in that account of $4 39. We recommend and urge upon the Board of Directors to prepare a schedule of the company's real and personal property, with approximate values of same, and have the same duly entered upon the books of the company. This schedule should include the water rights, ditches, flumes, real estate, tools, office furniture, maps and all property owned by the company. A memorandum of all errors found in the company's accounts for the past year has been handed to the Secretary and he has made the necessary corrections. Respectfully submitted. M. NEELUNG, E. J. PELLERIN, ALex WRIGHT. Chairman McFadden announced that inasmuch as it would be necessary to elect a new Board of Audit for the ensuing year, it would be well to do so before taking up other business of the meeting. W. E. Holcomb, Mr. Essak and Otto Rust were elected the new Board of Audit. The Amendments to the by-laws were called up. Section 1 of Article I, prohibiting the transfer of stock from one piece of land to another without the written consent of the Board of Directors. It would take two hours to call the roll on the adoption of the amendment, and as there were five or six amendments to be voted upon, in their harvest. One of instances which may sow and another reap. A number of our young people are preparing for the bal en maque to-morrow evening. The L. M. A. S. have resumed their meetings; the first one was at Mrs. D. J. Young last Thursday and adjourned to Tuesday Jan. 30th to finish work begun. The society will give one of its socials soon to open on the season's work. Deacon Wright had a birthday party, Jan. 25th. His wife called in the neighbors and intimate friends from Centralia and served them a grand dinner with all the subata tials and many of the luxuries of Southern California. The deacon has always been (Wright), will always be young and is favorite with all. We wish him many turns. Miss Cox' Sunday school class had a picture on the lawn at A. W. Whitaker's last Saturday afternoon. It was an enjoyable time for the little folks. Games were played in doors and out there was music and recitals. The baskets were opened and they feast spread on tables on vine-cover porch, of which all partook heartily. Each pupil had the privilege of inviting a guest. Some of the class were unable to be present Among the children present were Lena and Louise Potter, Annie Frentz, Mabel Melvie Ruth and Grace Smith, Edua Carpenter Myrtle Harrington, Lena and Ada Sloan and Lottie Anderson. RAILROAD SURVEY. THE REFINERY SWITCH-OFF BEGINS AND THE S.P. DEPOT—THE SURVEY ORS IN THE FIELD—RUMORS. The party of Southern Pacific surveyors consisting of C. C. Sroufe, Geo. C. White J. B. McCarthy, C. W. Tyler and Cushin Stone, have been at work since their arrival last week surveying the route for the switch off from this point to the sugar refinery site. The switch-off begins some fifty feet above the switch running to the packing houses and curves south to the road running by Cheoseman's new store and along west of Conrad's brewery. The road will run due west a mile and a half to Section 21, at which point a half-mile curve will be put in. The coast will run due west on the half section line to the refinery site on Section 22. No more than three or four miles can be surveyed in a day; owing to thatthe surveyors notethe holdingsofthe different property owners alongthe route,andworkhasalsobeen somewhatretardedoncountainofthetreeobstructionsencounteredthefirstdayout.Afterlineissurveyed,theroutewillbegoneoveragaintogetthelevelsafterwhichtracklayingmayimmediatelybegin。WhenthelevellingontherefinerybranchhasbeencompletedthepartywillturntheirattentiontosurveyingtheroutethroughSantaAna streetto water question in and out of season are attributable to him. He is said to have secured an option lately upon four thousand acres of land in the La Habra valley, and the report prevailed that he would buy a sufficient quantity of the new stock—which wasn't issued—to flood the land and make it to blossom as the rose. When asked about this matter, he smiled and said it wasn't so. When Kellogg was seen to be running behind at the election on Monday—the vote being held by the cumulative system—Mr. Botsford, who controlled enough shares to come near electing eight men for the seven offices, was said to be anticipating a coup d'état by unloading enough votes on Kellogg to beat McFadden, who was the next low man. We have yet to see him about this, and if he should not deny the authenticity of the report, he will be subjected to severe censure. But he walked away with the election all the same—the folks from the outside swooped down upon us follows in town, and we simply weren't in it. If it were not for the balloon ascension, there would have been absolutely nothing for us to be happy about. As one accorded the flight of steps leading to the company's office, the monotonous call of the stock roll amput upon his ear. The Secretary was calling the roll, to see if a quorum was present. It takes a couple of hours to call the roll, and meantime the water politicians were busy down stairs patching up their slate, while trustworthy henchmen attended to the business of depositing their proxies at the meeting upstairs. I. N. Everett, H. S. Daniels and Otto Rust were appointed Committee on Proxies. The roll-call showed 6,186 shares present and represented by proxy. The Committee on Proxies reported all proxies good excepting that issued by Mrs. Dennis, formerly of this city but now absent in Ohio, to Coroner Ey, and which Mr. Botsford had corralled. The proxy was disallowed. The Chair announced a quorum present and ready for business. The Secretary read the minutes of the last annual meeting, held January 28th of last year, which were approved. Also the minutes of an informal stockholders' meeting held last Saturday, the date of the original call, but which, on account of the Governor's proclamation making it a legal holiday, had been postponed to Monday. A number of stockholders, desiring to make assurance doubly sure, met on Saturday and adjourned over to Monday. Mr. Botsford had called the meeting to order, and our old friend William Crowther, the Placentia impressario, was elected Chairman. There were only 723 shares represented, and lacking a quorum, and the day being a legal holiday anyhow, the meeting adjourned to Monday. All these minutes were approved, after which the Secretary read his annual report, printed in our column last week, which was also approved and filed. Mr. Nebelung stepped up, with a Wacht am Rhine, and read the following report of the Board of Audit: ANAHEIM, Cal., January 29, 1894. To the stockholders of the Anaheim Union E.J.Pelleminin, Alex Wright. Chairman McFadden announced that insamuch as it would be necessary to elect a new Board of Audit for the ensuing year, it would be well to do so before taking up the other business of the meeting. W.E. Holcomb, Mr. Easax and Otto Rust were elected the new Board of Audit. The Amendments to the by-laws were called up. Section 1 of Article I, prohibiting the transfer of stock from one piece of land to another, without the written consent of the Board of Directors. It would take two hours to call the roll on the adoption of the amendment, and as there were five or six amendments to be voted upon, and a new Board of Directors to elect, the chair decided to dispense with the reading of the roll and call for a vice vote vote, saying that if the vote appeared to be unanimous or nearly so, he would declare it carried. The amendment is as follows, the changes being quoted: Each share of stock in the Anaheim Union Water Company shall represent an acre or a fraction of an acre of land. Any stockholder may locate one or more shares of stock on any one acre or fraction of an acre of land, but no stockholder shall locate any stock upon any land at a less ratio than one share per acre. "Stock having been once located upon a certain tract or parcel of land shall not be transferred to or located upon any other tract without the consent of the Board of Directors." Mr. Eddis suggested that the amendment would work an injustice to some portions of the district, in that it is unnecessary for them. Their land being moist, to maintain one share per acre on their land. The Chair—On the contrary, lands that need more water have less stock than they should have. We want to do away with the indiscriminate transfer of stock from one piece of land to another. The vote showed quite a sprinkling of noes, and the Chair decided the amendment in doubt, to go over until such time as a stock vote at roll call could be taken upon it. The next amendment taken up was that of increasing the number of shares in the company from 7,000 to 12,000. Mr. Botsford supported the amendment. He said only way to make the water company a paying institution was to sell more water. At present there are farmers owning land along the ditches of the company who have no stock, and who are willing to pay $25 per share for them. We have no water to sell now, nor will we have, probably, within the next six months. But the time would come, and might come within the year, when with the development of our water facilities, we shall have an abundance of water to sell beyond the requirements of the present stockholders. The outside property holders should be brought into the company, and the new stock should be voted so that the Directors may sell where they have a chance. Much had been said about the increase, but so far as he was concerned he had only the good of the company at heart. The vote showed quite a decided opposition to the increase. The Chair—Shall we call the roll on the amendment? Mr. Botsford moved that the roll be called on all the amendments. Mr. MoDermont moved to elect the new Board of Directors, and to postpone action on the amendments until some future time. Last. Mr. Fay moved to have printed slips of the amendments issued to stockholders, and that when the meeting adjourns it adjournment to next Monday to vote upon the amendments. Dr. Worms moved to amend by inserting the words "Yes" and "No" after each amendment, and the slope to be used as ballots. The amendment was accepted, and was finally carried. No more than three or four miles can be surveyed in a day; owing to the fact that the surveyors note the holdings of the different property owners along the route, and work has also been somewhat retarded on account of the tree obstructions encountered just day out. After the line is surveyed, the route will be gone over again to get the levels, after which tracklaying may immediately begin. When the leveling on the refinery branch has been completed the party will turn their attention to surveying the route through Santa Ana street to Olive street and on to the semiphore, which work will probably not begin before some time next week. For the present she switch-off to her refinery will not go beyond Section 22; connection with Long Beach being put off until some time in the future. The railroad situation remains much the same as reported last week. The Southern Pacific offices will be moved up town, and a commodious freight and passenger depot erected at the corner of Los Angeles and Santa Ana streets. The route thence to the maia line below Miraflores has not as yet been accurately mapped out, nor will it be until the survey is run next week. But the road will turn into Olive street and away from town tothe semiphore bythe best and most practicable route. The switch-off will make matters lively at the depot, and already a foundry and machine shop is talked of. While the railroad office will be moved up town, nevertheless all trains pass this point,andthe neighborhood will forthe most partbe transformed intoa networkoftracks. The foggy mornings have delayedthe surveyers somewhat,但it is thoughtthe surveywill be runandthelevelsmadebytheendoftheweek.

Mr. Nebelung stepped up, with a Wacht am Rhine, and read the following report of the Board of Audit: ANAHIKIM, Cal., January 29, 1894. To the stockholders of the Anaheim Union Water Company.

Mr. Botaford moved that the roll be called on all the amendments. Mr. McDermont moved to elect the new Board of Directors, and to postpone action on the amendments until some future time. Mr. Fay moved to have printed slips of the amendments issued to stockholders, and that when the meeting adjourns it adjourn to next Monday to vote upon the amendments. Dr. Worms moved to amend by inserting the words "Yes" and "No" after each amendment, and the slope to be used as ballots. The amendment was accepted, and was finally carried. The election of a Board of Directors was next announced to be in order. C.E. Holcomb and Ernest Brownlog were selected as tellers, and Wm. Kroeger and John Eyman ballot clerks. Nominations were declared to be in order, and a volley of them came forth as follows: Mr. Fay nominated Mr. F.G. Ryan. Mr. Hunter nominated Mr.C. Spencer. Mr. Amerige nominated Mr.W.E.Botaford. Mr.Ryan nominated Mr.W.M.CoFadden. Mr.Kern nominated Mr.Max Nebelung. Mr.McDermont nominated Mr.E.R.Amarige. Mr.Rost nominated Mr.E.F.Kellogg. Mr.Botaford nominated Mr.William Crowther. The rest of the day was taken up in voting, and it was not until well along in the evening that the result was announced. The vote stood: Botaford, 6,629; Ryan, 6,174; Crowther, 6,129; Amerige, 6,079; Spencer, 6,035; Nebelung, 5,527; McFadden, 4,819; Kellogg, 3,132. The Chair announced that the first seven named gentlemen had received a majority of all the votes cast and were elected to be Directors for the ensuing year. BUENA PARK. There are a number of climate refugees in this vicinity. Among them Mr. and Mrs. Angus Grant of Portage la Prairie, Manitoba Canada, guests of Robert Bryden, and Mr. George Stoner of Madison Wis., a former schoolmate of Mrs. Henry Archibald, now her guest on Canadian avenue. Miss Genie Archibald has tully recovered from her recent illness. Miss Bernice McKenney is at home with her parents for an extended visit. The hotel is full nearly all the time (no bar either), which speaks well for the landlady. Dick Murray has returned to the Park. Rev. Schaffer of Los Angeles will occupy the pulpit of the Congregational Church next Saturday morning. Special services will be held in the evening by the Y.P.S.C.E. Endeavor Day anniversary. Every one will be made welcome. Much plowing and cultivating is being done on the ranches, and it is noticed that the highways and byways are receiving careful attention. It may be the country may be somewhat enriched when they gather saying the Buena Park people had secured the right of way from that point to the sugar house and had surveyed it, and had offered the same to the railroad company free of charge. If we wanted to get the sugar house branch, it was necessary that every one along the line give free right of way; otherwise we wight-lose the switch-off. Mr. Sparka who lives on Section 21 at which point the road contemplates making a half-mile curve, and who was understood to have objected to giving the right of way along both sides of the property, as well as the land for the curve; was present, and was called upon to give the meeting the benefit of his views. He said he was willing to give the road the right of way along one side of his place, but thought it was rather too much to require him to give right of way along both sides of his forty,and land for the curve besides. His son arrose and said that the forty acres at the corner of Section 21 was their home,and the now line would break it up. He would not give the right of way for less than $5,000. A committee on right of way was appointed as follows: Herman Dickel, J.J.Everhart,Tim Carroll,P.Weilsel,Mr.McKinley and W.J.Fay. Mr.Sroute head of the surveyors,said in response to inquiries that the route through town will be up Santa Ana street to Olive ,where it will curve south to the semiphore. The meeting adjourned to this evening at 7:30 o'clock. It might be as well to remark right here that we have not got this refinery switch-off by a long shot,and if the men along the proposed route refuse to give right of way until being "engaged" to an outlandish extent,the force of surveyors might be called off the line and transferred to Buena Park. Buena Park will ribly deserve the cut-off if we fail to give the right of way. MORE SURVEYORS.

NERVY SWITCH-OFF BEGINS AT S. P. DEPOT—THE SURVEYIN THE FIELD—RUMORS. Of Southern Pacific surveyors, C. C. Crouse, Geo. C. White, thy, C. W. Tyler and Cushing been at work since their arrival surveying the route for the switchpoint to the sugar refinery site. Off begins some fifty feet above running to the packing houses, south to the road running by new stero and along west of swerry. The road will run due and a half to Section 21, at a half mile curve will be put in. A half mile run due west on the line to the refinery site on Secion three or four miles can be a day, owing to the fact that note the holdings of the differowners along the route, and also been somewhat retarded on tree obstructions encountered out. After the line is surveyed, all be gone over again to get the which tracklaying may immenate. When the leveling on the bench has been completed them their attention to surveying through Santa Ana street to Kleinigkeiten. Lumber was received at the Santa Fe depot yesterday for the new packing house to be erected at that point. The steamer fare from here to San Francisco via Redondo over the Santa Fe and the P. C. S. S. Co.'s line and return is $13 30. Good for sixty days. Work has commenced on Hart's new brick block on Center street. The building will be a palatial addition to the architecture of its part of the city. Miss Edith Lovering was tendered a surprise party Tuesday evening by a number of her young friends at her home in Orangethorpe. A South Riverside bicyclist coming over the Puente bills a few days ago, is reported to have been stopped by a couple of tramp highwaymen and relieved of $12. Rain began falling yesterday at noon, and during the afternoon the weather was cold and showery. The indications as we go to press are good for more rain. George Dunn brought in a best Sunday evening, raised on his ranch west of town, that weighed 59 pounds. It has been on exhibition at the Commercial Hotel. It is reported that Stephen Kistler contemplates putting up a new brick building on Center street on his lot opposite the City Hall, to be used as a bakery and confectionery store. Merritt & Co. sent out a carload ofanges over the Southern Pacific on Monday. The fruit was from Kroeger's and Mrs. Bosge's orbard, and was out of the association. To-morrow night the masquerade ball given by Evergreen Council takes place at the opera house. As we said last week, the indications are that it will be the social event, par excellence, of the season. Mr. Fowler is making many improve-ments at the James residence, and will probably move in soon. He has chopped down the umbrella trees, which had scale on them, and has otherwise improved the yard. There is talk of organizing a telephone system in town. There ought to be business enough to sustain it. Orange has lately put in a telephone system, and Anaheim ought to be able to do so herself. Give us the telephone, Central. It was rumored on the streets yesterday that Domingo Bastanchury had bought the four thousand acres of land in the Habra valley upon which it had been given out that ja syndicate in the water company had received an option. Attention is directed to the advertisement of the Southern California Nursery United States. The onion weighed 4 pounds and 13 ounces. This speaks volumes for the soil of our sister town. A subscriber steps in to say that the number of acres owned by the newly elected water directors on this side of the sand-wash is of the total amount of eight acres, while that owned and controlled by those on the other side—Mr. Botaford and his pirate crow—is of the amount of something like forty-four hundred—rather an unequal distribution. Still there is nothing for us to do at the present writing but to grin and bear it, and buckle on our armour for the next election. Mr. Littlefield expects to receive advices any day now, notifying him to proceed East, to act with the Orange Growers' committee in the disposition of this season's crop. Two of the Riverside gentlemen have already taken their departure, and Mr. Littlefield was looking yesterday for advices from Riverside to join them in the East. He will probably be detailed to Minneapolis, and we expect to hear from him occasionally during his stay of three months abroad. Mr. Fay attended the recent prize poultry exhibition at Los Angeles and purchased the cages of Boston birds that got away with the blue ribbon over all for quality. He informs us that the birds carry a pair of spectacles and a dictionary under their wing, to refer in order to be correct of speech when they are in doubt, and that their hen fruit is conducive to intellectual development. Mr. Fay is one of our clear-headed citizens, and is entitled to the thanks of the populace for introducing this new breed of poultry into our midst. The Orange Post came to hand last week with an extraordinarily lengthy delinquent tax-list of the Santa Ana Valley Irrigation Company. As no injunction against collecting this assessment has been issued by the Superior Court, and as times are "good" ever in the little city where the Post is issued, it is puzzling why the delinquent list is so long. Such proceedings make work and wages for the printer, but it must seem to the taxpayers very like skimming a caballo for his hide after riding him to death. See? We notice several of our exchanges mentioning that new banks are in contemplation in their several localities, which leads us to remark that capitalists have been in town during the week investigating the proposition to start a bank here. They were piloted over to Santa Ana by one of our good friends in town and shown the alleged banking advantages of that city over us. This piloting business away from us is very nice, by way. But there has been a good deal of new bank talk lately, and we are assured the new institution will be open when the best crop grows. It is remamed that a syndicate will purchase the Deutsche PERSONAL MELANE Mr. and Mrs. Gustav Heimann from Los Angeles on Sunday visit friends and relatives. Miss Mabel Reindall of Los Angeles hero a few days last week and waits of Miss Beanie James. Mr. S.H. Holman returned late evening from New York and wished with us during the summer. J. J. Palmer and Geo. L. Alec type founding firm of Palmer San Francisco; were in town on Mr. Mr J. H. Smith of San Diego extensive property interests below been in town during the week. W Mr. Smith's becoming a permanent in this neck of the woods before. Mr Browser is occupying his tilt out his sixty-acre walnut tract near town. He will future give ther his own personal supervision, and to make it one of the model place section. C. S. Marshall of San Francisco sentting well-known house of Co. Co., printers and shoppers, was during the week in interest of Marshall is an old-timer, and albeit the discoverer of gold at Sutter's unvertheless rapidly building up affairs in Southern California. Dr. Thompson of the Poona La which lately went out of existence town on Monday and informs us thinks of reviewing the Poona La West The Star was one of the best written in county, and we were sorry suspend. We wish the Doctor as his second attempt to make it go. Miss Core Lewis gave a delight at her home on Saturday evening bar of her friends, the event being honor of her cousin, Miss Eden Near Sacramento.

We notice several of our exchanges mentioning that new banks are in contemplation in their several localities, which leads us to remark that capitalists have been in town during the week investigating the proposition to start a bank here. They were piloted over to Santa Ana by one of our good friends in town and shown the alleged banking advantages of that city over us. This piloting business away from us is very nice, by the way. But there has been a good deal of new bank talk lately, and we are assured the new institution will be open when the best crop grows. It is remamed that a syndicate will purchase the Deutsche property on Center and Lemen streets and put up a handsome two-story brick structure, the corner room to be occupied by the new bank. Let all these improvements come, and let us grow and finally become the county seat. Eh? Mr. W. J.
