HAPPENINGS OF THE WEEK Is There Rottenness in the Beet Factory? A Director Makes a Speculative Proposition to a Stockholder to Turn Over a Few Thousands in Real Estate—The Large Deficiency in Interest on the Bonds to Be Made Up by an Assessment on the Stock—The Whole Thing to Come Out at Monday's Meeting—Other Items—New Water Directors Take Their Seats—Water Rates to be Raised—Wedding of Mr. Turck and Miss Clemmie Schmidt—Social Notes—Local Brevities—Minor Mention. Some days ago a Director of the co-operative sugar company, who lives in Los Angeles, approached a stockholder of the concern residing in this city, and made the proposition to him confidentially that if he would advance him $2,000, to be applied in payment on a tract of 500 acres of land situated in the vicinity of the place privately selected as the site of the factory, the Director would guarantee him that in six months they would receive $6,000 on the investment, in return for the sale of the land at the appreciated valuation which the contiguity of the factory would give it, the profit to be divided between them. Here was a Director of the corporation using his knowledge, gained while on the board pledged to conserve the interests of the stockholders, to his own private gain. The question arose: Were the other members of the board engaged in the same sort of nefarious traffic? The Director informed him that the factory bonds were as good as sold, that arrangements for their transfer had been made at 90 cents on the dollar, as soon as the bonds should be changed to the coupon form. As soon as the public knew that the factory was about to be built, the Director went on, a boom in the contiguous lands would set in, and by taking up the 500 acres at the minimum price now prevailing, both would "get in on the ground floor," so to speak, and the stockholders at large be none the wiser. It developed that with the sale of the bonds at this time, eighteen months before any increment or return from the factory could be hoped for, interest payments at will build a six-room house, and make Almitos his permanent home. Mr. and Mrs. Kennedy's family consists of ten all told, and as they have evidently been accustomed to the usage of good society, we can look forward to a local tennis court and an occasional musicals. The advent of an educated family will tend to lift us out of our old groove, and will be an acquisition to the neighborhood generally. While their house is being built the family will reside in Anaheim. All the rain pools have disappeared, and while the growth of barley and pasture is slow owing to the prevailing cold nights and mornings, it is sure, and plenty all round will be the order of the year. Astray tramp of exceptional characteristics made his appearance here the other day. A neighbor gave him a slight lunch, and when the hobo had finished it, nothing would do him but he must pay for it. This unwonted proceedings reached my ears and I interviewed him at length. He used to be seaman on a transatlantic liner, and then a miner in Colorado. I offered him a package of "Duke's Mixture," but he politely refused with the remark that he never accepted gratuities as long as he had any cash on hand. He manages to get about one day's work a week, and he frankly admits that he is never without a ten cent piece. But just lately he had been forced to abandon the tobacco habit owing to lack of funds. It was a rare treat to meet a philosopher packing a blanket. He is now working at Garden Grove. He had been there before some time ago and the same employer wanted him back. Let me commend him to public sympathy, and let me impress upon the public that every tramp is not a hobo. This poor fellow is a gentleman in disguise and will no doubt light on his feet by and bye. YESTERDAY'S ELECTION. E. K. BENCHLEY AND FRANK BUTHER THE NEW DIRECTORS—THE OTHER OFFICERS HOLD OVER. The election in the five precincts of the irrigation district yesterday was merely a perfunctory affair. The district has gone so far toward disorganization that all the newly elected officers will have to do will be close up its affairs. All the old officers would have been pleased to lay down their portfolios, and it is doubtful if any of them voted. Some of them declared they would not, and said if they were elected they would not qualify. In such event they would have to hold over, as the law provides that officers must serve until their successors are elected and qualified. Their refusal to qualify is because of "getting shut" of filing new bonds. ANAHEIM PRECINCT. Total vote cast...20 For Director, F. A. Korn, 19. Assessor, M. Nebelung, 20. Collector, W. A. Witte, 20. THE NEW WATER BOAT NEW OFFICERS AND COMMITTEES BOARD OF AUDIT'S BILL RECEIVED FROM $195 TO $120—RATES WILL BE RAISED FOR THE FLUMES REJECTED. Edward R. Amerige was elected President of the new board of water Directors meeting on Monday. Mr. Ryan moved the old board had adjourned sine ceteris Mr. Boteford was selected as ten chairman, that the old officers Crowther, President; Mr. Ryan, Vice Dent, and Mr. Blennerhassett, Secretary be re-elected for the ensuing year, followed a flash of eloquent silence after a spell by Mr. McFadden, who named Mr. Amerige for President. Spencer seconded Amerige's nomination and the ballot resulted: Amerige Crowther, 3. Mr. Amerige was duly elected. Mr. Ryan was chosen Vice President without opposition, and Mr. Blennerhassett efficiency as Secretary of the company appropriately rewarded by his re-election fill the office for another year. Superintendent Sheppard and Zane Stone and Littlefield were re-elected positions to serve during the pleasure board. When the old board convened, the Committee reported having examined Palm-street and Benchley ditches, and mommended their acceptance. Adopted. The matter of the proposed change ditch to be put in at Fullerton, as amended by Director Amerige, and menting of 300 feet of the ditch run through the cemetery, was referred Superintendent. Secretary Blennerhassett reported no report to make, having sold no during the month. Treasurer Goldwater reported: Cash on hand January 2...0 Received during month...0 Total...0 Paid warrants...0 Total... Superintendent Sheppard reported hisponse account during the month $455 36$; construction account,$38$ The work on the fills at Horseshoe Bay progressing in a satisfactory manner rain water from the Soquel had taken three bents in the flumes, and be mended that a suspension trestle be constructed in their places. The Finance Committee reported that audited bills aggregating $1,183 14$, ascommended their payment. The bill gated $195$, was for fifteen days' by Messrs. Essick, Rust and Holcock $5 per day for the former, and $4 for the latter. The Director informed him that the factory bonds were as good as sold, that arrangements for their transfer had been made at 90 cents on the dollar, as soon as the bonds should be changed to the coupon form. As soon as the public knew that the factory was about to be built, the Director went on, a boom in the contiguous lands would set in, and by taking up the 500 acres at the minimum price new prevailing, both would "get in on the ground floor," so to speak, and the stockholders at large be none the wiser. It developed that with the sale of the bonds at this time, eighteen months before any increment or return from the factory could be hoped for, interest payments at the time of the start-up of the works would amount to $27,000. Added to this would be the discount of $30,000 caused by the sale at 90 cents, making a total liability of $57,-000 to be met at the very outset of affairs, to say nothing of the tremendous debt on the works to start with. Mr. Dyer would take a second mortgage of $100,000 on the factory, and it appeared there would be an immediate and alarming deficiency in the amount of money on hand to pay for the construction of the works and for running expenses. "How is this deficiency to be made up?" asked the stockholder. "By assessments on the stock!" replied the Director. "If necessary, to curtail expenses, the price of beets will be reduced to $2 per ton." The stockholder, who had all along soulted the proposition, now denounced the whole affair, and in his virtuous indignation revoked his proxy to the Director for the voting of a large block of stock at Monday's meeting. Considerable comment has been caused by the matter, and a number of stockholders have called upon us and asked us to publish the following statement, which we do to the end that the interests of every stockholder, large or small, may be subserved thereby: To the stockholders of the Anaheim Beet Sugar Company: GENTLEMEN:—The time for electing a new Board of Directors for the above company being near at hand, a review of the questions that confront the proposed erection of a cooperative beet sugar factory would be appropriate. We understand from reliable authority that bonds to the amount of $300,000 are shortly to be sold at the price of 90 cents on the dollar, thus involving a direct loss of $30,000 in consequence of the sale, as only $273,000 would be received for that issue, but interest for the full amount of $300,000 bonds, at the rate of 7% per cent per annum, will have to be met; although 1% per cent of this interest will be returned to the company upon the proper showing that said company has paid all the taxes against all the property held by the company in trust or otherwise. In this case the net amount of interest, at 6 per cent per annum, will be $18,000 per annum. Now, if the bonds should be sold at the present time the interest due on such bonds will amount to $27,-000 for eighteen months, or at the time the factory would be ready for work September 1, 1896. Adding the above mentioned $30,-000 paid for discount and $27,000 paid for interest $57,000 would have been expended, resulting in a dead loss to the company. We also understand that Mr. Dyer will accept $100,000 as second mortgage bonds, which would raise the total indebtedness of the company to $400,000. The estimated cost of the factory is $360,000, but only $243,000 would be available to pay for the same, unless the amount of $27,000 for interest would be raised by a direct assessment, being nearly $10 per share. In such a case there would be only $10,000 left as a working capital, which in an undertaking of this magnitude would be like a drop in the bucket, and be used up before the factory would be in operation. Where is the money to come from to operate the factory? It has been estimated that 1,000 acres of land, outside of the 3,000 acres subscribed, were available to raise a loan, but admitting the truth of this, we do not believe that more than $15,000 could be secured on those 1,000 acres, and only at an annual rate. WESTMINSTER LETTER. The reign of sunshine has succeeded the reign of water and the submerged barley has resappeared with a greener green than ever, and Westminster would not change places with any locality under the sun. From a wide acquaintance with Southern California I am in position to affirm that in no other section of the state is a living so easily made. Owing to the cooling evening and warming mists which drift inland from the sea when they are needed most, our pasture is always green so that we can pasture our stock all year round. The local creameries take all our milk at the highest price and we are accustomed to rating each cow at seventy-five cents a week all year round. Now seventy-five cents a week with free feed all year round from five or six cows (many of us have a dozen) is by no means to be despised. It is a steady thing too, and involves very little labor. There is neither plowing nor sowing nor reaping. Twice a day we sit under the shade of a cow and whittle some lively tune to the accompaniment of flowing milk, while the old cow, happy as she chews her od reflectively, meditatively, is satisfied like ourselves with the present dispensation, borrowing no trouble for the future nor longing for "pastures new." Such is ranch life in Westminster and you can read it on the faces of people. Where else will you see the pleasant benignant look that lights up Judge McCoy's and Samson Edwards' physiognomy? proof positive that it is a man's surroundings that makes him what he is.

The planet Venus is now an object of conspicuous brilliance in the evening sky, hanging low in the western heavens after sunset, and shining like the beacon of a giant ship approaching the earth from the outer deep. The planet Jupiter was last evening up in the regions near the moon, and will be seen each evening at his best shining brilliantly as its orb of night recedes and leaves it a conspicuous mark in her wake, until dimmed by the splendor of the full moon. Mars is also in the northwestern sky shining with its ruddy light, and Mercury keeps Venus company ere she two disappear beneath the western horizon. These planets may now be seen at their beat, and the astronomer may gaze at the evening heavens with peculiar and pleasurable satisfaction. PERSONAL MENTION Mr. S. K.

A couple of insurance agents in town on Tuesday bidding for the three year policy of $4,000 on the West Anaheim school succeeded in cutting rates in a manner particularly satisfactory to the School Trustees. The premium was three years ago $120, but on account of the rivalry prevailing among the insurance companies who are at war with each other, it is this year shaved down to $60, with a guarantee that the policy will not be cancelled. At latest reports there were indications that even this rate would be lowered before the war was over. A young man working on a raunch out west of town hired a buggy and team of horses from Lewis' barn on Sunday and subjected them to such hard driving that one of them died on Monday, and the life of the other was during the night despaired of. He was seen driving through Fullerton with a young lady whom nobody knows except that she was red headed, urging the horses on at their highest rate of speed, and when he drove in the stable in the evening the animals were in a state of collapse, which only the active efforts of the men in the barn prevented from resulting in both cases fatally. We have room here for a society for the prevention of cruelty to animals.
