LATE NEWS OF THE WEEK Clarence Groat Gets the Sidewalk Contract. Spirited Bidding for the Work at the Meeting of the City Fathers Tuesday Evening—Water Company to Erect Three Steel Flumes With Cement Piers on the Upper Ditch at Yorba—Vote on Disorganization in the Irrigation District—Must Another Election Be Called to Choose New Officers?—Saturday's Returns Came In In Very Incomplete Fashion—Burglars at Mr. Gosch’s—The Placentia Orange Circular—Local Brevities—Minor Mention. The Board of City Trustees met in regular session on Tuesday evening, present the full board. Clerk Nebelung read the minutes of the last regular meeting which, after correction, were approved as read. Marshal Steadman reported the collection of $300 40 for water and licenses. The Marshal also reported a delinquency of $26 50 for licenses. Isaac Lyons and Chas. Federman filed affidavits stating that their business does not warrant the expenditure of $5 per month for license, and they will consequently come under the $2 50 class. The former’s affidavit was accepted, but Mr. Federman’s was referred back for correction. His affidavit was made prior to the time of the consolidation of his two stores, that event happening on Monday, and the board was of the opinion that since the change perhaps his license may remain as before. However, a new affidavit will have to be furnished, before a reduction will be made in his license. A delinquency of $24 90 was reported in the water collections for the month. Treasurer Cahen reported a balance of $4,459 78 in the treasury. The Committee on Public Improvements reported that the city team had fully recovered from their late indisposition, consequent upon colds contracted during the late rain, and are now quite able to be at work again. The committee also reported that Herr Konig had not as yet complied with the instructions of the board in the matter of removing a fence on Broadway, which encroaches upon that thoroughfare to the extent of four feet, and also that the ditch on that street had not been extended quite far enough to make it conform with the street line. The question arose whether Mr. Konig’s fence really extended into the street, or whether he owns that particular strip of land upon which the fence is located. A pole line was ordered established on Broadway, eight feet south from the point laid down by the City Engineer in defining the street line, the same to be the north line on that thoroughfare. Trustee Lewis, as a special committee on water meters, reported on the repairing of a cartridge I venture to suggest that Mr. Lyle should hang him. According to law, Lyle could be made to pay for the damage to the buggy, and for the arnica used on the bruises of its occupants. Notwithstanding the wet weather the gophers are working havoc in the barley fields. Trapping, and cats seem to be out of date as agents for their destruction. Poisoned barley or wheat dropped in their holes is the only effectual remedy. Fifty cents worth will clear 10 acres of the pests. Talk about frost in Alamitos! I have a patch of volunteer potatoes the very picture of health, and expect to eat them in a couple of weeks. Notwithstanding this some people postpone sowing their alfalfa until April for fear of the frost. Those who still have their alfalfa in sacks will get left. Should Anaheim make up its mind to form a hunt club and go in for thoroughbred dogs I will give them a pointer on the “points” of a good greyhound. “What with the ubiquitous trump, the half starved mongrels and the Irish element in and around Alamitos, a 44 calibre six shooter is a very desirable, if not an indispensable adjunct to one’s wardrobe especially after dark. New Year’s day emphasized the old proverb, “It’s a bad wind that blows nobody good.” Mr. Silkwood was on route for Los Angeles with a wagon full of chickens. It had been raining hard for some days previously and even those who “knew the ropes” along the road were obliged to proceed cautiously, but Mr. Silkwood traveled by faith, for three feet of water hid the chuck holes from sight. In an unguarded moment he struck one, and over went the wagon all fours. A hundred of his feathered freight got loose over the plains and about 50 more met a watery grave. The neighbors joined in the chase after the roaming birds, and Mr. Silkwood in return divided up the victims to sudden death. As the hens were none the worse for the way they met their end, Alamitos has been banqueting on chicken pie ever since. And now when a peddler similarly freighted wends its way along the same road, the little boys follow him, and all the women leave their tubs to watch him. That the late rains have been a godsend to this section goes without saying. ABANDONMENT-YES A DECISIVE VOTE AGAINST CONTINUANCE OF OPERATIONS IN THE IRRIGATION DISTRICT. Not a single precinct in the irrigation district sent in their returns of the election on Saturday to take the sense of the voters on the propriety of abandoning operation therein, in proper fashion. The returns from Yorba were found to be incomplete in that the election officers had omitted in their affidavit of election a part of the legal verbiage, and the poll lists from the other precincts were found to have been left unsigned. At Placentia and West Anaheim the date of the affidavit of election had been omitted. The board met on Monday to canvass the returns all members being present. A pile of sealed envelopes containing the returns lay upon the table in front of the President. THREE STEEL FIRE WITH CEMENT PIERS, COSTUME THOUSAND DOLLARS, STRUCTED AT THE UPSTREAM WORK FOR STOCKHOLDERS At the meeting of the wate Saturday it was decided to take the places of the present Nos. 4, 7 and 8 on the upper Yorba cemetery. The first length, the next 674, and the total a total of 1,624 feet in all. The mated to cost $11 81 per foot; New wooden flames would cost $200; Superintendent Sheppard was jailed straight out. The water will be ditch for some weeks, and the work immediately. All stockholders getting a job on the work, must Superintendent for that purpose. The Finance Committee reports bills to the amount of $3,663 60 audited, of which $2,286 87 was and $496 32 for payroll. The Law Committee reported ter der of the Jurupa suit, that the company had expended $956 00 Audained company $910 40. The was mainly for maps drawn by Englog and Kobeg, showing the shed, inlets and diverting ditches data to be used in the suit. As panies stand half the expense, it that Santa Ana is a little velvet at Lawyer Chapman of Los Angeles been retained to appear for this company, will be paid a fee of $5 case will probably not be finally done three or four years, and who to trial it is hoped to restrain this version of all water up the river—a quantity which Riverside is now eating, and to which she is not thought entitled. The bringing of the ready had the effect of stopping work on the Jurupa ranch, and a blown down last winter—the water have not thought it worth while. Secretary Blennnerhasett read report of receipts and disbursement his office for December: Cash on hand at last report... Water sales—Analeim... North Analeim... Bills payable.. Total.. All of which had been turned off Treasurer Goldwater reported Cash on hand Dec. 1.... The committee also reported that Herr Konig had not as yet complied with the instructions of the board in the matter of removing a fence on Broadway, which enroaches upon that thoroughfare to the extent of four feet, and also that the ditch on that street had not been extended quite far enough to make it conform with the street line. The question arose whether Mr. Konig's fence really extended into the street, or whether he owns that particular strip of land upon which the fence is located. A pole line was ordered established on Broadway, eight feet south from the point laid down by the City Engineer in defining the street line, the same to be the north line on that thoroughfare. Trustee Lewis, as a special committee on water meters, reported on the repairing of a meter at Sing Lee's laundry. Trustee McWilliams submitted plans for a power house. Given further time to complete the same, and authorized to advertise for bids for the erection of the building. Petition of P. Arimond and others, asking for the opening up of Cypress street, between Lemon and Palm. Deferred. It was ordered that the establishment of the width of Broadway, between Lemon and Olive, be left to the City Engineer. Bids for the laying of cement sidewalks on Los Angeles street were received as follows: Chas. Schindler—Forty cents for each linear foot of curbing; ten cents for each square foot of sidewalk. C. Leonard of Los Angeles—Curbing, including grading, per linear foot of curb, 29 cents; sidewalk, per square foot, 9 cents. Lovie & Rogers of Los Angeles—10 7 8 cents per square foot for sidewalk, 35 cents per linear foot for curb. Gray Bros. & Ward, Los Angeles—For sidewalk, per square foot, 10½ cents; curb, 33 cents per linear foot. C. E. Groat—Sidewalk and curbing, $1 09 per linear foot, including all labor and material. Mr. Groat's bid was accepted. The bid of Chas. Leonard was the lowest one, but inasmuch as his accompanying bond was considered faulty, the contract was awarded to Groat, the next lowest bidder. In round figures the bids were: Groat, $1,231 70; Leonard, $1,175 80; Schindler, $1,358; Gray Bros. & Ward, $1,311 60; Lovie & Rogers, $1,368. The application of F. H. Oeding for a salmon license was denied. The Los Angeles Evening Express Co. was awarded the contract to print the electric light bonds, their bid being $50 for forty bonds. Adjourned. ALAMITOS NOTES. The rabbit chase on New Year's day was the event of the season. The master spirit of the hunt was Mr. H. Stape Munton of Santa Ana, owner of the celebrated greyhound Nigg. There was a large attendance from here and there and everywhere. More than a few Easterners revelled in the sunshine of the day and behold our long eared rodent for the first time in their lives. "O just look at his ears," said a young lady from Ohio, and "how they do run," she exclaimed again as a big jack led Munton's Nigg on a two mile heat. It was with much regret that I noticed feminine Anaheim conspicuous by its absence. Her figure and graceful horsewomanship are certainly not behind Santa Ana and it would have been largely to her credit had she donned hat and habit and joined the chase. This suggests the question, Why can't Anaheim have a hunting club of her own? A greyhound is one of the most intelligent as well as the most graceful of dogs, and the pure delight of seeing him fall tilt after a jack on the plains of Alamitos is worth a whole year's trouble and feed connected with him. Many a young lady whose cheeks want a dash of red to make the picture perfect would find it in the chase. It is far ahead of the enervating dance or social game of whist. The following is the record of the catches. Dogs. Nigg 8.H. Stape Munton,Santa Ana Don 4 Not a single precinct in the irrigation district sent in their returns of the election on Saturday to take the sense of the voters on the propriety of abandoning operation therein, in proper fashion. The returns from Yorba were found to be incomplete in that the election officers had omitted in their avidifvation of election a part of the legal verbiage, and the poll lists from the other precincts were found to have been left unsigned. At Placentia and West Anaheim the date of the affidavit of election had been omitted. The board met on Monday to canvass the returns; all members being present. A pile of scaled envelopes containing the returns lay upon the table in front of the President. The first envelope opened was that of Yorba, which was found to be imaccurate. Then the returns from Placentia, Fullerton, West Anaheim and this city were found to be lacking in some essential features of the legal verbiage, and couriers were sent out to hunt up the election officers to have them appear and certify to the returns properly. When finally the votes were counted the result appeared to be as follows: PRECINCT NO. 1.-YORBA Total vote cast 11 For abandonment 11 Against 0 PRECINCT NO. 2-PLACENTIA Total vote cast 20 For abandonment 18 Against 2 PRECINCT NO. 3-FULLERTON Total vote cast 82 For abandonment 82 Against 0 PRECINCT NO. 4-WEST ANAHEIM Total vote cast 84 For abandonment 84 Against 0 PRECINCT NO. 5-ANAHEIM Total vote cast 87 For abandonment 86 Against 1 RECAPITULATION Total vote cast 284 For abandonment 281 Against 3 Majority for abandonment 78 The board discussed the propriety of calling an election to choose new Directors and other officers of the district, as required by the act under which the district is operating. The terms of all the officers of the district, including the Directors, expire next month, and the law requires that an election be called to elect new officers on the first Wednesday in February in each odd numbered year. However, the board are not impressed with the proposition of calling the election, and favor abandonment of all operations as speedily and economically as possible. The matter was referred to Attorney Brousseau, who will report at the next meeting. The Secretary was instructed to return to N.W. Harris & Co., the Chicago bankers, their check for $6,000, deposited a couple of years ago as an earnest of their intention to buy the bonds. The Secretary was also instructed to make an inventory of the property in possession of the district, including deeds to property purchased at delinquent sale, and to report at the next meeting. Adjourned to Saturday, the 19th. Orange County Marble Works. H. L. Talbott, the Marble Cutter, won't be undersigned by any agent or middle-man, who hire all their work done. When you buy your grave stones from them you pay double for them, and when you buy an agent you pay twenty per cent to them. I do my own work, and if I make living wages I can live and let live, and save you money. I will call on those that are inned of grave stones. Or when in Santa Ana call at the shop on Main street, between Third and Fourth. I handle nothing but the best of marble and guarantee all my work. I can give you prices from a $10 stone to as high as you want to pay for a monument or vault. Jan10tf Version of an water up in the river at a quantity which Riverside is now atting, and to which she is not attached. The bringing of this ready had the effect of stopping work on the Jurupa ranch, and at blown down last winter the water have not thought it worth while. Secretary Blennher hassett read ing report of receipts and disbursement his office for December: Cash on hand at last report. Water sales—Anaheim. North Anaheim. Bills payable. Total. All of which had been turned over Treasurer. Treasurer Goldwater reported as Cash on hand Dec. 1. Received from Secretary. Total. Paid warrants. Balance on hand.

Mr. Zayn wrote saying that at twice his line and that of Mr. Stone lerton projected ten feet on his propet that if it were not placed on ther would plough it in. To The Superintendent that a pipe line 300 feet long be instead of the ditch on first allel Spadra road. To The Superintendent Engineer to report to the Ditch Co. Action of the Secretary in fo $150 to the Union Trust Company Francisco for signing bonds and fees Endorsed. Attorney Melrose was instructed cure an abstract of proceedings in issue, and to get opinion of Mr. Pope Angles as a further indorsemenal legality of the securities, and to put latter in these columns. Mrs. Brownning wrote asking that he be paid on her note against her The company is indebted to her amount of $5,700. On the table till meeting. Speaking of the bonds, Mr. Bots that Los Angeles capitalists were purchase whole issue, but ther buyers would be given the preference The old issue of bonds was ordained and Messrs Amerige Spe Sheppard saw that they went into in proper fashion. Engineer Lam was instructed to plan for improvements at the head ditch Mr. Barr appeared before he reference to necessary work on ther running through ther cemetery Ditch Committee. CHURCH NOTICES: Presbyterian Church—Rev.T.Vealei his discourse on some words from Jorieniah, "Stand ye in way and ask for the old paths where is way and walk therein." He said fit words for the beginning of a new stamp.The stamp of antiquity gives value things. Why should it be different ligious things? Certainly tried ought to claim regard. Humanity changed in its make up. We may understand it better, but what a man Horsesmanship is certainly not behind Santa Ana and it would have been largely to her credit had she donned hat and habit and joined the chase. This suggests the question, Why can't Anaheim have a hunting club of her own? A greyhound is one of the most intelligent as well as the most graceful of dogs, and the pure delight of seeing him full tilt after a jack on the plains of Alamitos is worth a whole year's trouble and feed connected with him. Many a young lady whose cheeks want a dash of red to make the picture perfect would find it in the chase. It is far ahead of the engrating dance or social game of whist.

" " " " Spy 2...Dr. De Vore Sport 2...Dr. Thompson It is only fair to state that Spy and Sport, De Vore and Thompson's dogs, owing to accidents received prior to the chase, did most of the work on three legs each. Such was the enthusiasm inspired by the day's sport that a regular hunt club with Mr. Gelderman of Orange as master, and Dr. Lord as treasurer is about to be inaugurated in Santa Ana. The pluck of Nigg, the hero of previous chases as well as this one, has been dutifully recognized by the ladies of Orange and Tustin, who have lately presented him with an artistic coverlet embroidered in scarlet and gold. The fee for membership in the Santa Ana Hunt Club is $1 a year, and the membership already reaches thirty. The funds secured by the annual fee of members is to be devoted to compensating the owners of crops, etc., for any damage inflicted by the sport. The rains of Friday night and Saturday have been highly appreciated. The "Santa Ana" of a week or so ago dried up the soil to a considerable extent, and the late rains were just the thing we wanted. Beet planting will now be the order of the day, and surely a better prospect of a bountiful harvest rarely ever presented itself in the history of the country. An accident which might have been fatal in its consequence, happened to an Alamitos family on their return from Anaheim a few days ago. A dog belonging to Mr. Lyle rushed out of the house as the buggy was passing and gave chase to the horse. In the latter's excitement he rushed against a post, upset the buggy and spilled the driver and his wife. This is by no means the first time the untrained mongrel has offended in a similar manner. As the dog is not worth THREE STEEL FLUMES WITH CEMENT PIERS, COSTING TWENTY THOUSAND DOLLARS, TO BE CONSTRUCTED AT THE UPPER DITCH— WORK FOR STOCKHOLDERS. At the meeting of the water board on Saturday it was decided to procure bids for the putting in of three steel flumes to take the places of the present wooden flumes Nos. 4, 7 and 8 on the upper ditch at the Yorba cemetery. The first is 430 feet in length, the next 674, and the third 520 feet, a total of 1,624 feet in all. The work is estimated to cost $11 81 per foot, or $19,179 44. New wooden flumes would cost $9,094, but the board decided to put in substantial steel structures with cement piers, with a capacity for carrying 3,000 inches of water, which it is calculated will last for a lifetime. The present flumes were erected in 1879, fifteen years ago, and have been rebuilt three times. Messrs. Botsford, Ryan and Crowther were appointed as the committee to procure bids for doing the work, according to Engineer Lum's specifications, and to report at the next meeting. The upper ditch for a distance of a mile and a half at Horseshoe Bend describes a series of rattlesnake bends, which have always been an eyesore to the company, and which Superintendent Sheppard was instructed to straighten out. The water will be out of the ditch for some weeks, and the work will begin immediately. All stockholders desirous of getting a job on the work, may apply to the Superintendent for that purpose. The Finance Committee reported that bills to the amount of $3,663 61 had been audited, of which $2,286 87 was for interest, and $496 32 for payroll. The Law Committee reported, in the matter of the Jarupa suit, that the Santa Ana company had expended $956 05, and the Anaheim company $910 40. The expense was mainly for maps drawn by Engineers Kellogg and Kobeg, showing the river watershed, inlets and diverting ditches, and other data to be used in the suit. As both companies stand half the expense, it will be seen that Santa Ana is a little velvet ahead of us. Lawyer Chapman of Los Angeles, who has been retained to appear for the Anaheim company, will be paid a fee of $5,000. The case will probably not be finally decided for some three or four years, and when it comes to trial it is hoped to restrain the illegal diversion of all water up the river, including a quantity which Riverside is now appropriating, and to which she is not thought to be entitled. The bringing of the suit has already had the effect of stopping all ditch work on the Jurupa ranch, and a large flume down down last winter the water jumps have not thought it worth while to rebuild. Secretary Blennhassett read the following report of receipts and disbursements in his office for December: Cash on hand at last report...$840 00 Water sales—Anaheim...39 12 North Anaheim...68 85 Willis payable...2,000 00 Total...$2,147 97 All of which had been turned over to the treasurer. Treasurer Goldwater reported as follows: Cash on hand Dec. 1...$2,427 20 Kleinigkeiten. By the way, what has become of the Sycamore-street ejectment suit? Sheriff Nichols was over from Santa Ana yesterday afternoon on a short official visit. Fifty-three orphans are now being cared for at the orphanage, and the number is increasing constantly. Ground in the lot opposite Hank Stough's blacksmith shop is being broken and trenches dug for a nursery stock. The Santa Ana Blade says that burglaries are becoming rare in that town. Over here they are particularly well done. Another attempted burglary Tuesday night, as detailed elsewhere. What's the matter with a vigilance committee? Capt. Mitchell is enclosing his Planters' Hotel lot with a neat fence. Improvements are going on in Anaheim all the time. A new Board of Directors of the local fruit association will be elected at a meeting called to convene at the City Hall on the 22d. Extensive changes have been made in Stern Bros', advertisement, which will repay careful perusal on the part of our readers this morning. The Anaheim shoe store has been moved into Federman's dry goods store, where Mr. Slater will be found hereafter with his usual winning smile and superior stock of goods. A report prevailed in town last evening that two suspicious characters, tallying in their description to the Ontario bank robbers, had been seen skulking through the hills beyond the Olinda ranch. We have received an invitation to attend the Inaugural Ball at Saaramento. Many thanks! Further on we read the price of admission will be ten dollars. This makes us tired. Newman Essick, Chet Holcomb and Otto Rust are engaged as a Board of Audit going over the water company's books and exporting accounts, for the annual meeting of stockholders to be held the latter part of the month. While work men were engaged in moving the bulletin board at the old hotel corner yesterday the structure fell with a dull sickening thud. It was shortly resurrected and placed a foot or two ahead of where it had been, and is now on the sidewalk line. The Placentia fruit growers' association will erect a large warehouse alongside the Santa Fe tracks a short distance west of the depot at Fullerton. What with the improvements in the orange and oil business our bustling neighbor is forging ahead at a more rapid rate nowadays than ever before. Charley Bauer has taken a position in Mrs. G. Davis' store. Charley is an honest and hard-working lad, and while we are sorry to lose his services as carrier boy, yet we are glad to hear of his getting a good steady job in the store. Willie Hack will carry the papers in future. Our old friend "Stockholder" may get a failed to find any location to compare with Southern California. At Truckow last week while coming over the divide, the snowdrift measured five feet, yet within a few hours he was among the flowers and oranges of California. As Mrs. Wright has herself acquired quite a liking for Anabeim, our former fellow townsman may be induced to remain permanently. Complaint is made by travelers over the road between here and the Santa Ana bridge that the "gravel" now being put on that thoroughfare is nothing but a poor quality of sand with an occasional rock to vary the moisture. This will do not be a particle of good, and unless gravel as called for by the specifications be used, the work might as well be discontinued until a better job can be done. This is all respectfully referred to our energetic Supervisor Potter, who we think will at once see it to that the graveling of this unspeakable highway is properly done. Mr. Newman Essick, secretary of the Placentia orange growers' association, has sent out a number of interesting circulars to the members, which cannot fail to carry joy to the hearts of the orchardists, and which show the advisability of co-operation as well. Mr. Essick reports a brisk demand for fruit, with prices for fancy Washington navels,$2 per box; choice navels,$1 75; standard,$1 50; fancy seedlings,$1 50; choice,$1 35; standard,$1 20; all f. o. b. shipping point. One of the circulars adds significantly that these prices are "subject to change," and as the orange market has a decided upward tendency, we should not be surprised to see a substantial raise in prices before February. August Rannow will put in ten acres of beets coming season for the Chino factory, and if our co-operative sugar house be erected, is ready to put in ten more. Mr Rannow is one of the pioneer stockholders in the corporation, and is firm in the faith that we shall have a sugar factory here. If he and his neighbors, who are those of the real sugar producers of country, and whose industry has so far been but partially rewarded could be made the objects of the government's bounty instead of firing it into the coffers of the millionaire monopolists, the millennium would seem to be decided nearer. If the bounty be restored, let it go to the farmer, at least in part, but let no subsidy bill be passed for the benefit of those who already reap millions from the industry of the farming classes. The strange case of the woman possessed of a demon, as mentioned by the Los Angeles papers, has come under the observation of a number of gentlemen of this city, she having paid a visit here with her husband a week ago Sunday. Under her mysterious spell she allows herself a latitude of indiscernition which cannot but be galling to her in her even tempered moments. She is reported to be of some refinement of speech and neatly not to say elegantly dressed. The strangest part of the whole affair is that her husband becomes a party to the infamy, and the woman reviles him bitterly when in company of others. The case is the strongest that has ever come to attention of the physicians of this city. One of the worst burglars ever captured is Los Angeles named Frank Steadman who has been a guest of Mr. Anabeim. R. Q. Wickham of Santa Ana appointed Minute Clerk of this Judge Scarborough, ex-Director was over from Santa Ana short business trip. Miss Kate Alexander ordered formerly a teacher in the public visited with friends in town Miss Alice Fay, daughter of W.J.

T. Beaizley based discourse on some words from the book Jeremiah, "Stand ye in the way and see, and ask for the old paths, where is the good land and walk there." He said these were words for the beginning of a new year. Why should it be different in reverence things? Certainly tried principles right to claim regard. Humanity has not changed in its make up. We may perhaps understand it better, but what a man needed the first ages he needs to-day, and that is how and do what God made him to be and do. The religion of the Bible has a positive character. It is a way. Now a way is structure, not a growth or development. Was constructed and is maintained by recognized authority for a definite purpose. Many people have forsaken the way, hence call to repent. There is a strong projection against repentance. No wise or honest man will have such prejudice, because such man will not claim freedom from mistake. The Bible way is both old and good. It has been tested and so have those who have walked in it. Compare the men who have walked in the Bible way, with those who have not done so, and which class has done most, which class is doing the most to take the world better? To get reliable information about the way, you must go to those who have walked in it. Who would be a Democrat to learn about Republican politics? Many men who never walked in the way, talk loudly against it. It is hard say just how they manifest their wisdom. Advanced opinions" have a great charm for many. How far have the holders of "adanced opinions" advanced beyond the pastor the old fashioned fool, who said in his part there is no God. To-day this looks like cowardice. Do I wish to check freedom thought? Certainly no, but I do want to check the use of opinions put forth by somebody, instead of using the outcome of your fair investigation. The Bible way promises rest for the soul. Nothing else can do it. Farms, orchards, bank accounts, soil position, do not give soul rest, simply because they cannot. For true lasting soul we must go to "Our Father." The whole shows the way. T. Michael's Episcopal Church, Rev. George Robinson, pastor. Services every Sunday morning at 11.

In writing from Jerome, Ariz., to renew his subscription, Otto Strodthoff writes as follows: I believe my subscription for the Gazette expires on Jan. 8th, I therefore enclose you herein P.O. money order for $2 for renewal of same.I try to keep pretty well posted on the affairs of Anaheim and the surroundings, and the Gazette being so invaluable in that direction.I find that I cannot get along without it.I receive it quite regularly, usually Saturday evening, but sometimes not until Monday.We do not have any mail into Jerome on Sundays. It is very cold here at present: we have had very little snow but a good deal of rain. I presume you have turned over a new leaf and sworn off. Henry joins in sending regards. Wishing you a happy and prosperous New Year, I am Yours, Otto W. Strodthoff. Otto is a great boy, and with his brother Henry makes a team of two of the best young men ever raised in Anaheim.

Mr.E.O.Wright and wife arrived from the East a few days ago, and have taken up their residence on Mr.Barr's place. Mr.Wright was a resident of Anaheim some five years ago, and had the misfortune while here to lose his wife.Since then he has wedded happily again, and will probably remain to enjoy the glorious climate of California during the winter. Since leaving Anaheim Mr.Wright has traveled through every State of the union except South Dakota and Minnesota,and After the period of financial depression following the collapse of the bank last year,the report of the condition of the Citizens' bank, published in another column this morning, showing deposits of upwards of $75,000,and cash on hand to the extent of $43,000,s seems to us to be a particularly favorable statement.The new bank in the short space of a year has come to be recognized as one of the solid financial institutions of this part of the country,and its identification with the development of the resources of the valley is becoming more marked every day.The Board of Directors comprises some of the best known men of this city and of Los Angeles,and in Messrs.Cahen and Goldwater,a President and Cashier,the management of the institution is in safe and conservative hands.The bank's affairs are managed upon a business-like basis,and the statement of their financial condition,flipping as it is,may be confidently expected to be supplemented in future by others showing even a greater degree of prosperity and usefulness to the community. Since Sing Lee abandoned the laundry business last year he has given his attention to raising vegetables over near Fullerton,but he is understood to be able to pull his pistol on an adversary quite as effectually on his vegetable heath as when in the foretime he presided over the washtub.Sing Lee has a mania for getting into trouble.Fit it be not in the attempted subduing of an enemy at the pistol's point,Sing Lee will come into court on a charge of attempting to beat his creditors,with a smile that is childlike and bland and with the ways that are peculiar to the heathen Chinee.Sing has had in his employ one Chin Check Meng,and has become indebted to him in the sum of $93 50,$ which he now refuses to pay.Mr.Meng brought suit to recover the amount and Sing's horses and wagons were attached by Constable Landell a day or two ago.Mr.Ong Quong Tow,otherwise known as Jimmy Craig,a rival vegetable vendor,who has Sing Lee on his "little list,"qualified upon Mr.Meng's bond,and Squire Landell,the company has recovered from his indisposition noted elsewherewill attempt straighten out the Celestial quarrel on Monday.

Judge Scarborough, ex-District Attorney, was over from Santa Ana yesterday on a short business trip. Miss Kate Alexander of Los Angeles, formerly a teacher in the public schools here, visited with friends in town the past week. Miss Alice Fay, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. W. J. Fay, who has been home on a visit during the holiday vacation, returned on Tuesday to Stanford University to resume her studies. Frank Ey was over from the county seat yesterday. Since turning over the Coroner’s office to Dr. Clark Frank gives his undivided attention to real estate, and sells as much land as any agent in the county. Jack Seeger’s illness took a turn for the worse the early part of the week, and for a time recovery was despaired of. A slight rally since then has been noted, and Jack’s friends hope to see him out again soon. Miss Hilda Witte is assisting her father in the preparation of the delinquent tax list in the irrigation district. If she had been in the office during the collection of taxes, we doubt if a single dollar’s worth of property had gone delinquent. Hugh McDonald of Mendocia, Monitobs, is looked for to arrive here in a day or two, and will be the guest of W. T. Brown. His daughter will also arrive shortly to remain some time with the family of Mr. Brown. Mr. Arnold Staub of Placentia advertises grape vines for sale. Mr. Staub informs us as the blight has disappeared. He has noticed improvement in vines hereabout for the past four years, and thinks that to-day we are practically free of it. Messrs. Geo. B. Key and R. H. Gilman were in town on Friday getting the latest quotations on oranges. The crop at the Semi-Tropic grove is about 8,000 boxes, and Mr. Key thinks the owners will come pretty near getting $2 a box for the fruit in the orchard. Br. Earl is after the crop. Mr. Gosch has ten acres of probably the heaviest bearing orange trees in Southern California. In his orchard there are 300 trees that will yield 20 boxes to the tree, and he expects from the grove no less than 5,500 boxes. He has a flattering option upon the crop, besides, but has not yet disposed of it. Mr. Gosch informed us yesterday that he had sold to Thacker. He will get probably between six and seven thousand dollars for the crop. Mrs. Scott has removed with her family to Los Angeles, where she will in future reside, and where she will shortly be joined by her daughter Mrs. V. A. Browning. Mrs. Scott has traded her ranch here for Kansas property, which brings her in quite a comfortable rental. She will build in East Los Angeles and take up her permanent residence there.
