DISSATISFACTION AND CONCERN: A Monkey and Parrot Time at the Beet Meeting: The Directors Return Max Nebelung, One of the Dissatisfied Stockholders, his Deed to Twenty Acres, on Payment of Eight Dollars by Him to Cover His Pro Haita of the Indebtedness—Some Hot-Stuff Resolutions—The Dissatisfied Vote a Want of Confidence in the Board, and Call on Capt. Pierce to Design—Those Satisfied With the Board Endorse Them—A Committee Appointed to Investigate Pierce’s Record as a Defaulting Debtor. The stockholders in the co-operative beet sugar company had a monkey and parrot time at the meeting of dissatisfied stockholders last Saturday afternoon. The riotous proceedings attracted a large crowd, and the only result of the meeting was the adoption of two sets of resolutions, or rather an innocent attempt to pass one set condemning the Directors, and voted for by the dissatisfied stockholders, who had signed the call for the meeting to the number of thirty-eight, and representing between five and six hundred shares; the other, prepared by Lawyer Carter of Los Angeles, Capt. Pierce’s partner, upholding the board. The meeting broke up in confusion, and the dissatisfied stockholders announced they would adjourn for two weeks, at which time further action to right the matters engaging their attention will be taken. As Max Nebelung walked down the street toward the hall from the water company’s office, and when passing the bank, he was called in and informed his deed from the sugar company to twenty acres deeded into the corporation by him, awaited his pleasure, and on payment of $8, the amount of the pro-rata of his indebtedness, the deed would be returned to him. He drew his check for the amount, the deed was handed over to him, and he walked over to the meeting with the document safely tucked away in his inside coat pocket. Mr. J. Morris was elected Chairman of the meeting. He had signed the call as one of the dissatisfied stockholders, and was chosen without opposition. Mr. Nebelung was elected Secretary, Capt. Pierce entered objection to his election, as having been returned his deed, he was not a stockholder. for the districts of Alamitos and Magnolia has been forwarded to Washington. It was signed by every householder in the two districts with the exception of about three. Mr. J. M. Gilbert has kindly granted a site for the office on his ranch and will build it at his own expense. This places it exactly in the center of the districts. We expect to have the office in about six weeks. Another shower or two would be a veritable boon, and we will have it, too! A neighbor left a basket of ten dozen eggs on his stoop the other day while he waited for Major Snow’s wagon to pass. Meantime a dog with no fear of an attack of bile before his eyes, gobbled up about half the eggs. The balance will have to be sold in bulk as they are immovably glued together by broken yolks. If the call for the sugar meeting was addressed to the “dissatisfied stockholders,” what business had the other chaps at it with their sticks and low vulgar abuse? The brigade of youthful beet thinners are threatening a strike for an advance of wages. They want $1 a day and board. Not much for a long day’s hard work. Dr. Bartor is suffering from a relapse, and has been confined to the house for a week. Mr. Everet presides over the services in the Adventist church every Saturday. The attendance is large and the meetings highly interesting. At a recent meeting of the building committee of the Garden Grove M. E. church it was resolved to proceed with the work at the earliest possible date. Under the pastorate of Rev. Mr. Burton the good work in Garden Grove is making itself felt. It is rare to find a congregation so unanimous. The peculiar beauty about Alamitos is the ocean breeze that springs up at 10 o’clock and blows all day, bearing a reviving cooling influence and making one feel comfortable on the hottest day. H. Schultz will soon betake himself to Catalina and combine an outing with goat hunting. H. S. is A No. 1 shot, and an all-round good fellow. Owing to the busy season many of the dissatisfied stockholders in this section failed to attend Saturday’s meeting. It is not likely that beets will ever come down to $2 a ton. But when even a small percentage of crookedness has been traced to a man or a Director no one can foretell the limits to which he may go. THE CITY FATHERS. CHARTRES STREET OPENED TO PALM STREET—APPLICATION FOR A TELEPHONE FRANCHISE — YOU MUST CLEAN THE ROAD IN FRONT OF YOUR PLACE. The Board of City Trustees met in regular session on Tuesday evening; present, the full board.

METTE HANSEN OF PLACEMENT BRINGS SUIT AGAINST THE WATER COMPANY AND GRAY BROS., TWENTY THOUSAND DOLLARS. Mrs. Mette Hansen of Placentia, a widow has brought suit against the Anaheim Univ Water Company and the Gray Brother Artificial Stone Paving Company for $4000, for injuries received on the 12th day April, 1894, at the corner of Sycamore East streets, where the Gray Bros.’ company were engaged in cementing the ditch for water company. The horse of the cart which she was riding became frightened at tent and engine placed in the street overturned the rig, precipitating her in the flume in the ditch across Sycamore street, from which she alleges she suffered permanent injury. The salient points of complaint, which was served on the water company on Tuesday, are as follows: That said tents and said engine were used in preparing material to cement said dirt and remained on said square formed by intersection of said Sycamore street was said East street, in the positions above described up to and including the 12th day April, 1894. That plaintiff is informed and believes there therefore alleges that said Anaheim Univ Water Company knew that said Gray Brothers Artificial Stone Paving Company placed said tents and said engine in its square formed by intersection of said Sycamore street and said East street, as that said Anaheim Union Water Company consented to and acquiesced in such wrongful occupation of said square. That on the 12th day of April, 1894 plaintiff desired to go to the city of Anaheim and accepted an invitation of one Peter Lassen to ride with him from her home; wit, Placentia, to said city of Anaheim; plaintiff and said Lassen first rode to town of Fullerton in a two-wheel cart in a seat drawn by one horse; from Fulton plaintiff and said Lassen rode in a cart to city of Anaheim; that after tram acting her business in the city of Anaheim plaintiff and said Peter Lassen in said court started on the way to plaintiff’s home; Placentia, going by way of said Sycamore street; that said Peter Lassen drove said horse from time plaintiff left her residence in Placentia until the time of this accident mentioned in the next succeeding paragraph; that said horse was a gentle kind and docile horse. That when plaintiff and said Lassen arrived at said bridge across said flume Sycamore street, the horse which said Lassen was driving became frightened at said tents and said engine; that when said horse became frightened it turned suddenly around and attempted to escape from said tents and said engine and in so doing fell into said flume that crossed said Sycamore street when asked horse fell into said flume Mr. J. Morris was elected Chairman of the meeting. He had signed the call as one of the dissatisfied stockholders, and was chosen without opposition. Mr. Nebelung was elected Secretary. Capt. entered objection to his election, as having been returned his deed, he was not a stockholder. Mr. Nebelung—How about Judge Marks, the Secretary of the Board of Directors? He is not a stockholder, and yet he acts as your Secretary. Pierce subdided. After the organization of the meeting, the Secretary arose and in a voice loud and clear, while the crowd maintained such a degree of silence that one could hear a pin drop, read off a preamble and set of resolutions frying the fat out of the Directors very nicely; voting a want of confidence in the Board of Directors; recounting that the actions of the board had given the stockholders cause to view their acts with dissatisfaction and concern charging the board with misrepresentation, and requesting them to resign and condemning them. The resolution concerning Pierce, and which set the ball rolling was as follows: Resolved That the recent announcement to the effect that one of the Directors in this corporation is a defaulting debtor of record in the Superior Court of Orange county, has filled us with amazement, and has convinced us that the interests of the stockholders of this corporation demand his retirement from the Board of Directors; and we hereby make formal demand upon him for his resignation. STORMY PROCEDINGS Immediately on completion of the reading of the resolutions a small-sized riot seemed imminent. Pierce denounced the resolution placing him in pillory as a defaulting debtor, as well as those who made the statement, as untruthful, flourishing a cane, and using filthy language during which the chairman found it quite impossible to maintain order. Seeing the desperate straits to which he had been subjected, the silvery-haired Oaklahoman protested that he never owed a man a dollar, and was not a defaulting debtor in Orange county or any other county in the State. His partner Carter arose and said he was quite sure Pierce was not a defaulting debtor, and so far he knew he owed no man a cent. Pierce (shaking his cane, and speaking wildly, and looking over toward the Secretary)—You pass those resolutions, and I will cram them down your neck. The resolution did not pass. [Shouts and laughter. Cries of "Put Pierce out!" "Put him out!"] and general disturbance.] The bluff worked, and the Secretary, giving the gentleman and his cane the benefit of the doubt, announced that he would withdraw that part of the resolutions concerning him, and a committee was appointed to investigate the records and report on the matter at subsequent meeting. Pierce said he would make any further reference to him a personal matter, and Alex Henry, jumping up and shaking his fist under Pierce's nose, said he (Pierce) could make it a personal matter with him (Henry) at any time. Henry denounced Pierce in vigorous terms, and demanded that the resolutions pass. The Secretary called the roll of the dissatisfied stockholders, and though the confusion was great, those who voted, voted in favor of the resolutions. A committee consisting of B. H. Bancroft, Alex Henry, Tim Carroll, P. Weisel and Dr. Pfeninger was appointed to go to Santa Ana and search the records, to ascertain the truth or falsity of the story that Pierce is a detailed debtor. The meeting then adjourned in disorder THE CITY FATHERS. CHARTRES STREET OPENED TO PALM STREET—APPLICATION FOR A TELEPHONE FRANCHISE — YOU MUST CLEAN THE ROAD IN FRONT OF YOUR PLACE. The Board of City Trustees met in regular session on Tuesday evening; present, the full board. The Finance Committee reported that it was not advisable at present to change the pump at the water works for the one offered by the Baker Iron Works. That company offered to sell a Worthington Duplex pump for $470, and would in return allow $150 for the old pump. The proposition will probably be entertained later on. The Committee on Public Improvements reported the grading of Chartres street through the Deutsch property to Palm street and also that the painting of the City Hall roof had not yet been done; also that the orange packers at the Santa Fe depot asked to have a water pipe laid to their premises. The committee was given power to lay the pipe, provided the Santa Fe company consents to making the connection from their pipeline. Application for a telephone franchise for 25 years from the Sunset company was received, asking for the privilege of erecting poles and wires on all streets and alleys in town. Referred to the Ordinance Committee and the City Attorney. The Special Telephone Committee having not yet completed their labors pertaining to establishing a telephone system here, the committee was continued. The contract between the city and Griffes & Sumner, granting them 30 days' time on their electric light contract, was received. The contract had not been dated, and was ordered returned for dating. Trustee Lewis spoke in favor of reducing the price for installing incandescent electric lights from $2 to $1 each, up to the 100 limit. The new rate is inaugurated to allow all those who have not as yet placed the wires in their places of business to do so cheaply. The contract calls for the placing of 100 wires, and the city is desirous of putting in the full complement before the plant is accepted, and have consequently made the reduction. The matter of substituting oil for coal for fuel at the water works was discussed. Oil costs $1 25 per barrel, while coal costs $8 25 a ton. The change would be quite a large saving to the city. It would cost about $700 to put in a complete oil burning apparatus and iron tank. The matter will in all probability be favorably entertained by the Finance Committee, who have the matter in hand. Petition signed by about 30 citizens asking to have the water ditch on the north side of Center street, near the property of F. Mickle, removed to the other side of the street. Referred to the Committee on Public Improvements for investigation. The books for the Street Superintendent were received. Trustee McWilliams asked, in behalf of Painter Middleham, for another installment of his wages for painting the electric poles. He has already received $60, and wanted $50 more, full amount due him at the completion of the work being $147. Granted. Bills to the amount of $29 60 were audited and ordered paid. The procuring of electric light meters was left to the Finance Committee. Engineer Sharpe suggested that the Western Union Telegraph Co. be notified that their wires are in places in too close proximity to the electric wires, and that same should be placed at a further distance from them. In case the wires came in contact it would be the means of destroying the telegraph lines. The Clerk was instructed to notify her business in the city of Anahale plaintiff and said Peter Lassen in said court started on the way to plaintiff's home at Placeia, going by the way of said Sycamore street; that said Peter Lassen drove said horse from the time plaintiff left his residence in Placentia until the time of its accident mentioned in the next succeeding paragraph; that said horse was a gentle kind and docile horse. That when plaintiff and said Lassen arrived at said bridge across said flume at Sycamore street, the horse which said Lassen was driving became frightened at said tents and said engine; that when said horse became frightened it turned suddenly around and attempted to escape from said tents and said engine and in so doing fell into said flume that crossed said Sycamore street that when said horse fell into said flume with great force; that plaintiff was greatly bruised in her body and limbs and became and was thereby made sick, sorrow lame and disordered, and so remained for long space of time, to wit, from thence hitte eto; that when plaintiff was thrown in said flume she received a blow centering at point in the small of back on the right side, where the sacrum and illium are united that when plaintiff was thrown into said flume her right hip was greatly bruised an injured and damaged; that plaintiff's right hip is still sore, damaged and brushed; that by reason of said injuries plaintiff was coined helplessly to her bed for four weeks and was for a period of four months unable to walk save with the assistance of a cane that plaintiff can never recover from said injuries and same will and do permanent affect and impair health, strength an activity of plaintiff; that plaintiff for a long period of time, to wit, ever since said accident has suffered great pain of body and quish of mind; plaintiff further alleges that when she commenced her journey home on she said 12th day of April, 1894 she was strong, healthy, robust and vigorous woman that before said accident she was able to do and did all her household work, and she chores around her residence; that plaintiff has been unable to work or perform ordnary labor since she sustained an injury afteraid; that since she sustained said injuries plaintiff has not been able to perform her household work and labors. By means whereof the plaintiff has been damaged in the sum of twenty thousand dollars and his costs of suit. Mr. H. W. Chynoweth of this city is attendant for the plaintiff. THE CITRUS FAIR. MR. FAY MAKES HIS REPORT TO THE FRUIT EXCHANGE—WE WERE SIXTH OUT OF TWELVE ASSOCIATION EXHIBITORS, BUT WILL BE FIRST NEXT YEAR. To the Orange County Fruit Exchange-Gentlemen: Herewith I present for your consideration and approval report of my transactions in your behalf in connection with this recent Citrus Fair. The display of citrus products might have been much better, had the individual or associated producers exhibited a little more public spirit and ambition at least equally if not excel, anything which might be put up by other organizations. There seemed, however, to be a woeful want of such a spirit, as only one of your subordinate associations responded to my request for co-operation (made on Jan. 22nd in originating and placing the display. Nevertheless although really an eleventh hour display that of your Exchange was highly credible, commanded both comment and inquiry from many visitors who had evidently been led to believe that Orange county products did not extend much beyond Pierce said he would make any further reference to him a personal matter, and Alex Henry, jumping up and shaking his fist under Pierce's nose, said he (Pierce) could make it a personal matter with him (Henry) at any time. Henry denounced Pierce in vigorous terms, and demanded that the resolutions pass. The Secretary called the roll of the dissatisfied stockholders, and though the confusion was great, those who voted, voted in favor of the resolutions. A committee consisting of B. H. Bancroft, Alex Henry, Tim Carroll, P. Weisel and Dr. Pfeninger was appointed to go to Santa Ana and search the records, to ascertain the truth or falsity of the story that Pierce is a defaulting debtor. The meeting then adjourned in disorder, and the Directors of the best company immediately organized another meeting, at which the President of the corporation was called upon to explain matters concerning the corporation, and during his rambling remarks reiterated the moldy chestnut that the bonds would be sold next July, and that work upon the factory would in all probability begin not later than December. It not, steps would be taken to disorganize. A lawyer named Carter, imported by the Directors for the occasion, spoke, eulogizing the present board, but his utterances were not received with any great amount of satisfaction. He stated that all stockholders desiring to withdraw would be given ample opportunity to do so shortly, as others stand ready to take their places. This remark was not, coming from an outfit, given very much weight by those who have looked into the matter closely. The President stated that the reason of his transferring 180 acres to his wife two years ago was deemed advisable on his part, because he said he was afraid he was going to die, and by thus deeding his property, his heirs would not be hampered with unnecessary court expenses in settling up his estate. Dr. Bartlett also spoke in commendation of the Board of Directors. The question, Would outside property belonging to stockholders be held liable for any deficiency, should the factory fail, was propounded to the President. He replied that would have to be referred to an attorney. All stockholders, however, are held liable for $125 per share, and should their land be insufficient to meet the claim, a judgment would be taken out against them. Lawyer Carter drew from his inside coat pocket a set of resolutions prepared in Los Angeles, denouncing the action of the dissatisfied stockholders and the articles referring to the Board of Directors appearing in this paper (the basis for all of which are matters of record, and may be found on application to Recorder Scott and Clerk Brock at Santa Ana). The stockholders who side with the Directors (with whom everything goes so long as they get the sugar factory) voted for them, and the meeting adjourned in disorder. You pays your money, and you takes your choice. ALAMITOS NOTES. The petition to the Postmaster-General praying for the establishment of a postoffice were received. Trustee McWilliams asked, in behalf of Painter Middleham, for another installment of his wages for painting the electric poles. He has already received $60, and wanted $50 more, the full amount due him at the completion of the work being $147. Granted. Bills to the amount of $29 60 were audited and ordered paid. The procuring of electric light meters was left to the Finance Committee. Engineer Sharpe suggested that the Western Union Telegraph Co. be notified that their wires are in places in too close proximity to the electric wires, and that same should be placed at a further distance from them. In case the wires came in contact it would be the means of destroying the telegraph lines. The Clerk was instructed to notify the company. The matter of placing meters at the Del Campo Hotel and at the residence of E. P. Fowler was discussed. Should one be placed at the hotel, the water rate would in all probability be lowered, as very little water used there now, but should one be placed at the Fowler residence, the rate would be increased. Referred to the Finance Committee. The Clerk was instructed to notify residents to clean up the streets in front of their property. It would be well to have Center street cleaned up before next Sunday, as the Los Angeles turners will be here in force; and the street should present a nice appearance. Adjourned.

In the direction of your business, did you ever stop to think Of the manifold advantages of using printer's ink? Place on paper your intentions of what you have to sell; State the prices of your products, and that you will treat them well. Then throw in some little locals in the Anaheim Gazette. And procure an extra salesman, you will need one, you can bet. When you've made an ample fortune and retire from active life, And live serenely happy with your children and your wife.

Menges & Coffin, Dentists, have moved their office to the Metz block, up stairs. H. T. Hamlin, a Maryland builder and contractor, publishes a statement declaring that he deeply wronged Mrs. Coan, unwittingly, by marrying her when he had another wife living. Owing to a fall which injured his brain, he says, he had completely forgotten his previous marriage. Afterwards, becoming convinced that he was already married, he acknowledged the facts in writing to Mrs. Coan and has been since endeavoring to have his first marriage annulled in order to perfect that with Mrs. Coan. Mrs. Coan is living with her relatives. Hamlin first met her at Los Angeles, been much better, had the individual or associated producers exhibited a little more public spirit and ambition at least equally if not excel anything which might be put up by other organizations. There seemed, however, to be a woeful want of such a spirit, as only one of your subordinate associations responded to my request for co-operation (made on Jan. 22nd in originating and placing the display. Nevertheless, although really an eleventh hour display, that of your Exchange was highly creditable, commanded both comment and inquiry from many visitors, who had evidently been led to believe that Orange county products did not extend much beyond the limits of potatoes, pumpkins, peppers and peanuts, and in a class of twelve competitors stood sixth in order of merit. When the excellence of the class is considered even this little above the average becomes a great deal. Amongst those who contributed to this result, Mr. Cargill of Brookshurst, Mr. Botsford of Placentia, and Jacob Everharty of Anaheim are certainly worthy of special mention. The care, cleaning and replacing of fruit demanded the continuous services of two persons. One of these I engaged in Los Angeles, the other Mr. Botsford, came up from Placentia and devoted both time and consider able ability in arranging and caring for the display. I enclose his bill for these services for your consideration. At the close of the fair there being but little demand for fruit at Los Angeles, almost all of it which would bear shipment was sent to the San Francisco auction house. I judged that this was the best course to pursue. Returns therefor will soon reach you. Fruit unit for a place on the table I disposed of in a manner which seemed highly satisfactory to at least one of the parties to the arrangement, viz., to the orphans of various denominations who were each presented with two oranges. No doubt from each refreshed little mouth ascended a double-barreled prayer for the welfare of the Orange County Fruit Exchange. The check for premium I handed to your Secretary for collection. Attached finds statement of my expenses in connection with the fair. My own services together with railway fares etc., I freely devote to the public good. Very respectful yours, Wm J. Fay.

Irvin of this officiating. Only the immediate relatives of the bride and groom, and a few friends were present to witness the happy event. All joined in wishing the newly wedded couple a world of happiness, after which the party partook of a amputous repast. Mr. and Mrs. Warling started Monday morning for Los Angeles and Redondo, to be absent some days, after which they will be at home in Garden Grove. Jack Landell arrested the Chinaman who cut one of his countrymen with a hatchet at Man Woo's place some weeks ago, at Capistrano on Friday last. Hearing that the fellow was on his way to San Diego, he started after him and getting on his track at Capistrano, went to a wash house and found his man hiding under a bed. When confronted he readily confessed the crime, saying the Chinese whom he cut had swindled him in some money matters. His examination was had on Saturday, and he was bound over, to answer to a charge of assault to murder, in the Superior Court, bail being fixed in the sum of $500. The hatchet wielder went to jail. His victim is recovering. Mr. W. R.

Orson Moody to Miss Flora Shat-Garden Grove, Orange county, Cal. Lost. Laprobe, green on one side and the other. Lost between City parks and Ernest Browning's, Mon-g. Finder please return to W. and receive reward; —Tim Carroll lost a valuable horse last Saturday morning, and another on Sunday night, by their having been fed too much green fodder. Several others were badly off and Dr. Garner was telephoned to at Santa Ana to come over and do what he could for them. The loss is a serious one, the animals having been among the best draft horses hereabout, and it will be difficult to replace them. —Alex Henry had the misfortune the other day to cut his leg in the fleshy part below the knee with the sickle of a mowing machine which he had just ground. He was walking with it toward the machine, using it as a walking stick, when his foot slipped and he was very seriously gashed by the sharp blade. Though weak from loss of blood for some days, he is now recovering and will soon be all right again. —Hundreds of people throughout Orange county are talking of the Red Front, Santa Ana. Their system of business as exemplified by their rules "of strictly one price, no goods misrepresented, money refunded in all cases if goods are not satisfactory," is already a great success, as their store has been crowded daily with eager purchasers since they opened. All their goods are marked at the same prices as they are in their store in San Francisco. See the Red Front's new advertisement in this issue. —The W. C. T. U. was reorganized at a meeting of the ladies at the Presbyterian church Tuesday evening, when the following named officers were elected to serve for the ensuing year: Mrs. Wm. Boyd, President; Miss Beaizley and Miss N. Aubert, Vice Presidents; Mrs. Grimshaw, Treasurer, and Mrs. Hack, Secretary. Delegates to the county convention, which meets at Fullerton, were Mrs. Boyd, Mrs. Grimshaw and Mrs. Hack. The ladies invite all interested in temperance work to join with them at their next meeting, which will be announced next week. —Charley Wommer's city team took fright at a passing wagon while standing in front of the Boston bakery last Thursday afternoon and bolted down the road. Turning into Center street they collided with and overturned a vehicle standing at the corner, and continued on their course to Clemintina street, where they turned and ran to the extension of Chartres street, through the Deutsch place. Here they turned and ran to St. Catherine's Academy, going around the walk about the garden and out again, and continued down Palm street until halted by Julius Schneider. Charley soon recovered the runaways and was shortly at work on the streets again as if nothing had happened. The water board met on Saturday afternoon and discussed the matter of negotiating a temporary loan of $25,000 with a Los Angeles bank. The same was reported to be in course of satisfactory negotiation, and the I go to clock P.M., timing exercises, singing and music will be the program at the Opera-house. The visitors bring with them some of the best turners in Southern California, and the exercises will be from the turner and athletic standpoint, probably the best ever seen in Orange county. A large delegation of turners is expected, and all hands look forward to the enjoyment of a rare and old fashioned good time. The festivities will conclude in the evening with a social hop. Walter Crowther and his brother of Placentia and Mrs. Stamm (pianist) of Los Angeles, will furnish the music for the dance in the evening. Over a hundred turners and their friends are expected, and they are looked for to arrive on a special train. —a meeting of those having in charge the preliminary steps for the formation of a Chamber of Commerce here was held at the Bankon Thursday afternoon, when a committee consisting of Mr. Melrose, M. L. Rogers and E.P. Fowler was appointed to draft by laws to be submitted to the subscribers at a meeting to be called to assemble at the City Hall as soon as a sufficient number of signatures may be secured to the list to justify the inauguration of the enterprise. Mr. Goldwater, has been canvassing the city for signatures and already has those of a number of business men, and the list is steadily growing. Mr. Cargil will endeavor to get all the Los Angeles gentlemen owning property here to join, and an invitation will be extended fullerton, Placentia, Orangethorpe and the surrounding towns to join with us. The business men of the city have taken hold of the enterprise with a will, and the success so far achieved is flattering not only as an augury of the future usefulness of the Chamber of Commerce, but of the efforts of those who are endeavoring to start the enterprise as well. Let all business men in town put their names to the lists, Mr. Weisel went up to Los Angeles Tuesday, and incidentally stepped in to see Mr. Hellman of the Farmers & Merchants' Bank, to ascertain the truth or falsity of the assertion of one of the beet Directors at the annual meeting of stockholders, that he (the beet Director) had been to see Mr. Hellman and had been assured by him that his bank would take the money derived from the sale of the bonds and place it on deposit and allow the beet company 5 per cent interest on the same. Mr. Hellman informed Mr. Weisel, so the latter gentleman informs us, that he (Mr. Hellman) had never seen the sugar Director in question and did not know him. The rest of the conversation, we expect, may be obtained from Mr. Weisel. Now, we all want this sugar factory, but it does not look right for a Director to get up in open meeting and say that he has been closed with Mr. Hellman, in the latter gentleman's private office at the Farmers & Merchants' Bank, when that gentleman has never seen him and does not know him, and who probably has his own ideas of people who willfully misrepresent things.

Meyer who for some time past been the superintendent of the Mrs. by ranch, east of town, informs us that peciduous fruit crop, especially the apri-promise exceedingly well. Under his management the place has come to one of the most productive in all this season. Warren Cressy was in town yesterday, long come down with his mother from at Lowe, where his father is sojourning in health, for the purpose of disposing of household here, preparatory to taking departure for the higher altitudes. He insus us that he has about completed operations for the sale of his residence, the completion of which he and his wife will rejoin Mr. Cressy at Mt. Lowe. Lacy, Orange county's popular ex-fiff, was in town on Tuesday, attending one business connected with the Padg-assignment. Mr. Lacy has lately been trip through some of the counties of Northern California and returns to find Or-county the best of all.
