HAPPENINGS OF THE WEEK Trustees Let the Contract for the Electric Power House. B. H. Porter Gets the Contract After Spiritual Bidding—Electric Lamps and Insulators Arrive, and Work to Be Commenced Soon—Water Board Holds Its Last Meeting—A Humor That the Board Will He Re-Elected by Acclamation—Excessive Rains Cause a Flood—Items from Orangethorpe, Westminster and Alamitos—Odd Fellows’ Installation—District Council F. A. A.—Local Brevities—Minor Mention The Board of City Trustees met in regular session on Tuesday evening, present Trustees Rust, Lewis, Helmsen and McWilliams. The following bids were received for the erection of the electric power house: B. J. Perry offered to build the structure for $576; the cement floor, of which there will be upwards of 800 feet, he bid at 9½ cents per square foot. H. P. Larsen—Building, including cement floor, $648. Henry Albrecht—Building and cement floor, $555 44. B. H. Porter—Building $470; cement floor at 9½ cents per square foot. Mr. Porter’s bid was accepted, it being the lowest. The drawing up of the contract was left to the City Attorney, and a bond in the amount of $200 was ordered furnished by the successful bidder for the faithful performance of the work. The Finance Committee examined the reports of the city officials and found them correct. As the county contemplates grading the county road west from the Paty corner, the advisability of continuing the grade into the city as far as the Bittner corner was left to the Committee on Public Improvements with power to act. The grading of Center street from the Santa Fe depot to East street was also left to the committee. Attorney Chynoweth reported that he had examined the records of Los Angeles county in regard to the width of Broadway and could only find the records defining the width of that street to be 49½ feet, but could not find any action of the Supervisors whereby the width of that thoroughfare had been extended. He had not completed the investigation and was granted further time. A sample copy of the electric light bonds was received by the Clerk from the Evening Express company and the same was found wages will be the order of the summer in Alamitos. There is quite a feeling working up amongst us as to the location of the new school that is to be. Many people want the old building raised a story, and an additional teacher employed, while others go in strongly for a new building in the vicinity of Mr. Carrol’s big barn. I wish they would build it nearer me and appoint me janitor. I would dearly love to pick up a little more learning by mingling a little with the small boys. I don’t hear much of our new postoffice, but we are standing in our own light by not agitating for this great public convenience. We are four miles from the nearest office, and are entitled by law either to have one of our own or a mail delivery along the road. Perhaps we may keep quiet about it until we see further about the beet factory development and its location. The last desert or “Santa Ana” wind that favored us brought a joke with it to sort of compensate for the damage it did. Dr. Bartor had sunk a well and spent weeks and months leveling his field for irrigation purposes. Well, the storm came and literally lifted wagonloads off Mr. Gilbert’s best land and laid them in erratic mounds all through Dr. Bartor’s leveled fields. The former came along one day after the “Santa Ana” had gone to bed and remonstrated with the Doctor about loss of good soil sustained. But when Mr. Gilbert walked around a little and beheld half an acre of peas and the same of strawberries literally hidden from sight by about two feet of sand he went off as quietly as the “Santa Ana,” saying he would “city quits.” THE WATER BOARD. LAST MEETING OF THE OLD DIRECTORS—NO STEEL FLUMES, BUT WOODEN BOXES—ANNUAL MEETING NEXT SATURDAY. The water board held its last meeting on Saturday. For a time it looked as though there would be no quorum, the rain came down so voluminously. There were present Directors Crowther, Botsford, McFadden, Amerige and Spencer; absent Ryan and Nebelung. All committees were granted further time, having been unable to do much work on account of the storm. Prudencio Yorba appeared before the board to negotiate for the rental of the Cota and Rivas tracts for a year. He offered $250 for the use of the land for pasture until the first of next January. Mr. Amerige (who wanted to strike a bargain for the company)—Can’t you make it $300? There will be a lot of feed on the land pretty soon. Mr. Yorba claimed he had lost money on the land at $250 last year, and on motion of Mr. McFadden the rate was fixed at $275. Mr. Botsford reported adversely to steel flumes. He had interviewed several steel firms and had learned that on account of the metal’s tendency to expand and warm in THE RAINS CAUSE A FLOW. BARRANCE DAMS BREAK AND WATERS RUN RIOT OVER AT LERTON—AN ENGINE IN DITCH—THE CONDUCTOR THE CIGARETTE. It rained in torrents during most of the day and Friday night. For that matter he rained pitchforks for most of the time Monday. Nearly five inches of rain fell on the storm was the severest we had twenty years. Roadmaster McNeill dozen Santa Fe railroad men were dealt in town Friday night by the washout San Diego passenger could not get out and sidetracked here for the night. Mr. and his construction crew had breakfast foreday Saturday and went out to road to institute repairs. Saturday ing he received a dispatch saying their way to the depot, laughing and talking about one thing and another, their terns throwing back long fantastic mirings reflections upon the wet sidewall At the depot the engine sizzled away steam exhaust as if impatient at the dawn Saturday morning Agent Clabaugh kept busy receiving instructions for the dozen railroad crews that were detained here. Two or three passenger crews and many sections of the construction each of them displaying a green sign—the caboose, waited for orders, and then glues filled the atmosphere with that heavy smoke that settles to the ground in rainy weather. “How did the engine go into the down road?” asked the reporter blue-uniformed and gold-braided conductor who was standing at the telegraph instrument in the office waiting for instructors and apart from a dozen others who intensely listening to the ticker. He was smoking a vile Cameo cigar He cast a glance of haughty superioritythe reporter, and drew copiously vigorous inhalation of the fumes of cigarette. Then he bowled them three his nostrils in two diverging shafts poisonous vapor, and when he recovered said: “I don't know. Is there an engine in ditch?” with an intonation that seemed say if you want news go swim for it. The reporter walked over to Fullerton the track to note the extent of the wint outs. A report prevailed in town that miles of washouts occurred between these places. As Fullerton is only about three miles away we walked over to see if they port was true. The sandwash bridge As the county contemplates grading the city road west from the Paty corner, the advisability of continuing the grade into the city as far as the Bittner corner was left to the Committee on Public Improvements with power to act. The grading of Center street was also left to the committee. Attorney Chynoweth reported that he had examined the records of Los Angeles county in regard to the width of Broadway and could only find the records defining the width of that street to be 49 feet, but could not find any action of the Supervisors whereby the width of that thoroughfare had been extended. He had not completed the investigation and was granted further time. A sample copy of the electric light bonds was received by the Clerk from the Evening Express company and the same was found to be correct, excepting a "turned" figure in one of the accompanying coupons but otherwise the bonds were found all right. Mrs. Luedke has signified her intention to take the bonds as soon as they are ready to be delivered. Bills to the amount of $74 25 were audited and ordered paid. Marshal Steadman reported that he and Engineer Schneider had examined the city wells and found the larger one in good condition, with a plenty of water, but that a slit about eight feet long had been perforated in the pipe when old man Platt put down a charge of giant powder to effect an aperture to admit the water, which was too large. A little more precaution should have been used in perforating the pipe. The DesGranges well was found all right, except that the sand should be pumped out. The Clerk was authorized to ascertain the cost of sandpumping the well. Trustee McWilliams tendered an invitation to the board in behalf of the ladies of the Odd Fellows' lodge to attend the banquet which was served in the Metz block. The invitation was accepted with thanks and the board and the city hall attaches proceeded to the banquet hall to partake of the good things in store for them. REAL ESTATE SALES.

The Right Rev. Francis Mora to Pia Baker and Sarapina Maera—Lot 6.1 feet by 1895. Prudencio Yorba appeared before the board to negotiate for the rental of the Cota and Rivas tracts for a year. He offered $250 for the use of the land for pasture until the first of next January. Mr. Amerige (who wanted to strike a bargain for the company)—Can't you make it $300? There will be a lot of feed on the land pretty soon. Mr.Yorba claimed he had lost money on the land at $250 last year, and on motion of Mr.McFadden the rate was fixed at $275. Mr.Botsford reported adversely to steel flumes. He had interviewed several steel firms and had learned that on account of the metal's tendency to expand and warp in the sun and contract in cold weather, it was unsatisfactory. He recommended cement piers and a wooden box for the flames. Engineer Lum said there would be a pressure of fifteen tons on each bent in the flume. He was instructed to prepare plans for two flumes to replace flumes 7 and 8, and lumber taken from these structures to be used for the new flume at flume 4. A call for bids for doing this work will be found on the second page. Mr.Amerige called up the matter of the reservoir site on La Habra, and urged its purchase by the company. The matter went over. Mr.Botsford reported that Mr.Brotherton of the Citizens' bank of Los Angeles desired to purchase $30,000 of the company's bonds, but desired their lawyer, Mr.Burnett, to advise them as to the bonds' legality. It developed that Mr.Burnett was the gentleman responsible for the faux pas in the attempt to issue bonds in the early part of the year. A Director observed he had been under the impression that the Fullerton Squawk was responsible for the difficulty, on account of deficient publication. Amerige—Hold on there! You can't put that on the Fullerton editor b'goah! The rest was lost in the haw, haw, haw that greeted the mention of the gentleman who is trying himself and his paper on our flourishing neighboring town. Capt.Schumacher, who pays his subscription in advance, and whose example if followed by all our subscribers would make us rich, and who has a pony to trade for a shotgun, made the modest request for the payment to him of a hundred cases on his note for a thousand against the company. The Captain is thinking of turning the note into bonds. Adjourned. The annual meeting of the stockholders occurs next Saturday. Roll call at 10. The board will hold a short session in the forenoon, and the rest of the day will be given over to the annual meeting, a feature of which will be the election of a Board of Directors to serve for the ensuing year. WESTMINSTER LETTER. We are such a truly rural, self-composed and submissive a community in the village by sea that even if it poured "cats and dogs" for another week we would not call names at Jupiter Pluvius. He is a heathe diety, at any rate, and has no idea of the law of proportion, much less the eternal fitness of things in general. There is no denying the fact, however, that we have had about as much rain as we can fairly stand. Our soil is largely streaked with alkali, and it is feared that in many places a second sowing of barley will be necessary. Still the rain, if it has dried up and remains dried up for a month or two, will have done more good than harm on the whole. All that can come between us and a beautiful harvest is that most unpopular of winds—a "Santa Ana." With its fiery breath it can dry up a two days' rain in the same number of hours. All we can do, however, is hope for the best, prepare for the worst and take what comes. The changes in real estate are considerably behind the usual average for this time of year. But to my mind the fewer the number of tundreest people visit Westminster ORANGETHORPE ITEMS. Aside from slight inconveniences, such inundated collars, and a few trees blown down, our section suffered no damage from the recent heavy rains or the oxy (whisper it softly) of the past week. ground is too wet to plow, but a few more bright warm days will put it in condition. Farmers are wearing a verbal broad smile, and thinking as Chinese vegetable vendor expresses "cheap good next year." Land lookers and orange buyers numerous enough to keep them busy at time being. The Earl Fruit comp have purchased the crops of W.J.Stead and Mr. Thordson, and the work picks and hauling will soon begin. Early sown grain and cabbage patches looking fine. The new schoolhouse was completed C. C. Collins and wife to Sarah D. Button—10 acres on West Hickey, Santa Ana; $10. Stearns Ro. Co. to Bernard H.

Last week's real estate sales appear on the first page. ALAMITOS NOTES. The roads between here and Anaheim are all but impassable, and in some places the water lies on them to a depth of three feet. Well, it's a bad wind blows nobody good. It has been terrible weather on clothes and shoes, and the dry goods men of the Mother Colony will naturally rejoice. Ike Williams, the popular road surveyor, has been grading the road leading past Mr. Gilbert's, and when finished the road will be as popular as Ike himself. Good roads are the backbone of an agricultural country. Work, owing to the flooded condition of the fields, is at a standstill; but as the soil of Alamitos is almost all sandy, we will soon be busy making up for lost time. What with the big beet crop and the immense harvest in prospect, work at good no denying the fact, however, that we have had about as much rain as we can fairly stand. Our soil is largely streaked with alkali, and it is feared that in many places a second sowing of barley will be necessary. Still the rain, if it has dried up and remains dried up for a month or two, will have done more good than harm on the whole. All that can come between us and a beautiful harvest is that most unpopular of winds—a "Santa Ana." With its fiery breath it can dry up a two days' rain in the same number of hours. All we can do, however, is hope for the best, prepare for the worst and take what comes. The changes in real estate are considerably behind the usual average for this time of year. But to my mind the fewer the number of tenderfeet who visit Westminster for a week or two yet the more they will think of our section. The hour will bring the man, and his advent will produce such an impression on bim that he will write back to his friends such glowing accounts of California that they will eventually flock Westward in droves, and those who wish can sell out at big prices. Meanwhile we are all indulging in the luxury of forced idleness, and it will be weeks before we can plough or plant. I see by the papers that eggs have had another downcome, and this is contrary to a recognized law, because the bens have nearly all stopped laying, owing to the severe cold spell of last Saturday. FRATERNAL AID. —The District Convention of the Fraternal Aid Association meets at Odd Follows'Hall this afternoon and evening.

It is in good repair and would make comfortable dwelling for a small family; the directors are anxious to dispose of it. A pleasant surprise party was tended Mr. Andrew Cargill in honor of his birthday on Saturday evening of last week.Notwithstanding the unfavorable weather large crowd was in attendance and a delightful evening spent.Many good wishes expressed for happy returns,and many greets sent in by those who were so unfamiliar as to be unable to be there. Three sacks of oysters were brought from the beds at the Landing on Moorland and shipped by express to Los Angeles These beds are said to have become extensive,and although the oysters small,they are of excellent flavor.

MISS CRISTEK. Capt. John Reardon of Los Angeles, who owned forty acres of land adjoining Alex Henry's place west of town, died suddenly at his home on January 11th and was buried on the 13th. The Captain was a native of Ireland, but had resided since a boy in Illinois, and commanded a company of Illinois volunteers in the war. Four years ago he purchased his property here and immediately began improvements by setting the place to trees. He was held in high esteem by all who knew him, and his sudden death, due to heart trouble, is a great shock to his family, who have the condolence of all who know them in their sorrow. "Oh, why don't somebody kill me!" cried an inebriated person in a room over a restaurant on Los Angeles street last Sunday night. "Oh, God why can't I die! Won't some body kill me!" The man's groaning aroused the house. Several of the lodgers got up to see what they could do for him. The man had staggered up the stairs with a heavy load earlier in the evening and lay moaned upon his bed until the lodgers thought he would die. "What can I do for you?" said one of them, tapping at his door, "Shall I send for doctor? Do you want a physician? What's the matter?" The drunken man in bed responded with a snore! A Bachelor's Banquet, including an entertainment and supper, will be given by the Fullerton bachelor—and the woods are full of 'em—how is this girls?—at Chadbourne's Hall to-morrow evening. Some of the features on the program are as follows: E. S. Brown, the magician, will jump into a quart bottle and make a speech. George Ruddock, the famous actor and comedian, will do as he pleases. Wm. Starbuck will positively sing a song. Dr. Hagadorn, the famous story teller, will tell a whopper. F. Scott Purdy, with his troupe of trained cats, will render the heart rending song, "Listen to My Tail of Woe." Daniels will appear in the Lion's Den. Spnor Don Christoskinski, A. B. L. L. D. S. S., the famous female impersonator, will sing. The "bachs" will serve refreshments, and promise all a way up time. A cordial invitation is extended to all. The following officers were installed by the Odd Fellows at their hall on Tuesday evening: Oliver Hill, Noble Grand; John E. Dunphy, Vice Grand; A. M. Williams, Secretary; F. S. Gates, R. S. N. G.; Wm. C. Young, L. S. N. G.; Robert Dunn, R. S. Vice Grand; Samuel Elliott, L. S. V. G.; Frank Wommer, Warden; E. W. Chamlis, Conductor; Wm. Hill, I. S. G.; A. D. Porter, O. S. G.; Robert Dunn, Trustee. The following were the installing officers, —The prevailing tendency to fraud in the writing up of life insurance policies should deter those who contemplate insuring from making the first payments upon policies until such time as a careful inspection by those competent to judge shall reveal that they have been prepared in a proper manner. Recently, in the effects of a deceased person here, a policy was found upon which he had probably been paying his stipend for years and years, upon which in his declining days, when poverty had overtaken him, we have no doubt his friends kept up for him. A cursory investigation showed that it was not worth the paper it was written upon. Another gentleman who has his life insured for quite a large amount and who has paid thousands of dollars upon his tenure policy, on moving to Anaheim some years ago, applied for the required change to the northern latitudes, and the sly foxes in the New York office stipulated that no latitude south of San Francisco would be permissible in the policy, whereas the holder had resided several degrees south of Anaheim when the policy was taken out! The holder has paid thousands of dollars upon the policy, and it is about paid up, and the insurance ought soon to be payable to him, but a recent examination reveals that it, like the other, is not worth the paper it is written upon. Our friend talks of bringing suit to enforce payment, or at least force restitution of the money clearly obtained by fraud. Look at your life insurance policies. —Capt. Jote Smith, who lives down near the coast, was in town on Monday explaining why he had not been in with scallops and clams for a couple of weeks past. He had been ill and had no tide-book for the new year. The Captain has a place where, at very low tide, he wades in deep and gathers the finest scallops you ever saw. Nobody knows where this place is, and it can only be reached at very low tide. Then the Captain wades in and gathers up the choice bits of shellfish by the bucketful. Sometimes he gets his fingers bitten, and sometimes when he doesn't catch right they scamper away in the sand so quickly that they are soon out of sight. He hired some boys to help him catch scallops some time ago, and paid each of them a quarter; but they made so much noise and were bitten so frequently that the Captain decided they were failures as fishermen and fired them. When the Captain steals upon a scallop-bed cautiously he takes his bucket in his left hand and goes to the place where the fish literally cover the ground and grabs them up with his right. He soon has a bucketful. He peddles some in town and cans the rest at home. He tells us that when times get hard he and his wife live on scallops and mushrooms, that are worth 40 cents a pound in New York, but which grow in such endless profusion down his way that they have become every-day affairs. Tuesday was low tide again, and we expect the Captain up soon with a choice mess of fat midwinter scallops.
