THE TELEGRAPH REMAINS A Wire Yesterday Morning from Supt. Jaynes. He Telegraphs that the Office He Kept Open Pending Correspondence with the Chamber of Commerce—The Letters that Passed Between the City and Telegraph Company—Good Work by the Chamber of Commerce—Irrigation District Drawing to a Close, but a Comfortable Balance Still Remains in the Treasury—The Red Streak that Col. Northam Caused with His Four-in-Hand Turnout. Yesterday morning Supt. Jaynes wired Mrs. Lane as follows: SAN FRANCISCO, May 8, 1805. To Mrs. J. D. Lane, Anaheim, Cal.: Please keep the office open until further advised, pending correspondence with the Chamber of Commerce committee. F. JAYNES. It may be confidently asserted that the Western Union Telegraph Company will remain in Anaheim, the prompt action on the part of the Chamber of Commerce in assuring Supt. Jaynes that it was not the purpose of our citizens to cause them unnecessary expense in changing their wires, having contributed to that happy result. The Chamber of Commerce met Thursday afternoon, and as a result of the meeting Mr. Jaynes was written and telegraphed to that it was not the wish of the people here that his company close their office; and requesting that he defer the time selected as the date of closing, to the end that an investigation of the situation might be made, and a satisfactory solution arrived at. Friday morning he replied in a courteous telegram to the effect that his company would do anything that was fair and reasonable, and giving assurance that the office would not be closed. The telegram was received with feelings of joyful satisfaction. The Chamber of Commerce appointed a committee consisting of Messrs. Fay, Rogers and Brown to investigate the matter which brought about the purpose of the telegraph company to close their office, and without doubt an amicable adjustment of the whole affair will be speedily arrived at. To say that the publication of the telegrams to the City Clerk and local telegraphic manager in our column last Thursday setting forth the purpose of the company to move out, created an electrical sensation among the people of the city, is to put it mildly. Every one expressed the necessity for immediate action, and cards were sent out to the members of the Chamber of Commerce urging the importance of the meeting called for that afternoon. That the contemplated removal has been passed satisfactorily is a source of congratulation to all our residents. the closing of this office, as they would like to adjust the differences between the city and our company. Please say if you will listen to this move. JENNIE D. LANE, Manager. Supt. Jaynes replied as follows Friday morning: SAN FRANCISCO, Cal., May 8, 1805. To Jennie D. Lane, Anaheim, Cal.: Please inform Chamber of Commerce committee that we are entirely willing to continue the office and do anything that is fair and reasonable. We consider the action of the City Trustees to be arbitrary and unreasonable, and liable to cause us continual annoyance and expense in the future. Our line in the city is in first-class condition, and location of poles and wires was duly approved by the Trustees. We cannot afford to move them every time managers of electric light system choose to interfere. F. JAYNES. THE CHAMBER OF COMMERCE AT WORK. If the Chamber of Commerce shall never do anything else for Anaheim, it has earned its salary so far in staying the removal of the telegraph from our midst. The committee will probably report to the Chamber of Commerce at their meeting this afternoon. They will probably assure the telegraph company of the desire on the part of our citizens that no removal occur; that the telegraph company have acquired a mistaken idea that it is necessary for them to go to court to maintain their rights and privileges here, and that we intend to treat them in every respect according to the treatment given the most favored corporation in our midst. Let the telegraph remain. If any one have any reason why it should move away, let him step out into the open and state his reasons therefor. Let it remain. We cannot afford to drive any one out of the city. The Chamber of Commerce have the cordial co-operation of the mass of the people, who trust they may be successful in rendering permanent the desire of the telegraph company temporarily to remain during the adjudication of this little Comedy of Errors. THE CHAMBER OF COMMERCE. MR. ROGERS ELECTED PRESIDENT—GOOD WORK IN THE TELEGRAPH REMOVAL CASE—CO-OPERATIVE CANNERY. The Chamber of Commerce held a meeting at the City Hall last Thursday afternoon, when a permanent organization was perfected. There were present Directors Rogers, Cargill, Fay, Whitaker, Benchley, Hansen, Brown, Fowler and McFadden, the newly elected Director from Placentia. Mr. Fay acted as temporary Chairman. Secretary Goldwater read the minutes of the last meeting, relating to the election of a Board of Directors, which were approved. The first business before the Chamber was the election of permanent officers. Mr. Fay was placed in nomination for President, but refused to serve. His business interests elsewhere, he said, are such as to require his residence abroad for a part of the time, and he felt that he could consequently not give the office the attention it deserved. THE WATER BOARDING PROBABLE AMICABLE SETTLEMENT THE CONDEMNATION SUITS ON THE UPPER DITCH—TELEPHONE LINE The board of water Directors met in regular session on Saturday; present, American Nebelung, Botsford, Spencer, McFadden and Ryan.

Referred to Bolta- and Brown to investigate the matter which brought about the purpose of the telegraph company to close their office, and without doubt an amicable adjustment of the whole affair will be speedily arrived at. To say that the publication of the telegraphs to the City Clerk and local telegraph manager in our columns last Thursday setting forth the purpose of the company to move out, created an electrical sensation among the people of the city, is to put it mildly. Every one expressed the necessity for immediate action, and cards were sent out to the members of the Chamber of Commerce urging the importance of the meeting called for that afternoon. That the contemplated removal has been passed satisfactorily is a source of congratulation to all our residents. TOLD IN LETTERS. That a thorough understanding of the matter may be arrived at, we print below the correspondence between the city and telegraph company. May 11, 1892, the telegraph company were granted a franchise to operate their works and office in this city. February 19th, 1895, Supt. Jaynes wrote City Clerk Nebelung as follows: WESTERN UNION TELEGRAPH COMPANY, SUPERINTENDENT'S OFFICE. SAN FRANCISCO, February 19, 1895. M. Nebelung, Esq., City Clerk, Anaheim, Cal. Dear Sir: At a regular meeting of the Board of Trustees of the City of Anaheim, held on March 26, 1895, was instructed to notify you that the electric light works of the City of Anaheim will be started up in the near future, and to call you upon the fact that some of the Western Union Telegraph Co.'s wire are in close proximity to the electric wires, in some cases not more than ten inches from each other, and ask you to have them reconstructed to avoid any possible danger. By order of the Board of Trustees of the City of Anaheim. Respectfully yours. M. NEBELUNG, City Clerk. April 5th Mr. Jaynes writes as follows: WESTERN UNION TELEGRAPH COMPANY, SUPERINTENDENT'S OFFICE. SAN FRANCISCO, April 5, 1895. Hon. C. O. Rush-Pendleton-Lawrence of Trustees, Anaheim, Cal., DEAR SIR: I am advised to meet with the Honorable Board of Trustees of the city of Anaheim, held on March 26th ultime, your City Clerk was instructed to notify this company that the electric light works of the City of Anaheim will commence operations in the near future, and to call you upon the fact that some of the Western Union Telegraph Co.'s wire are in close proximity to the electric light wires, in some cases not more than ten inches apart; also requiring this company to reconstruct its lines to avoid any possible danger. With regard to this I have so say that our present telegraph line in the city of Anaheim is grown at considerable expense, and under rights we are by Ordinance No. 76. We have compiled with all the requirements of ordinance, and have a right to expect a peaceful possession and use of our property. The question of removing our wires in the presenceance is a little importance, involving an expense of some $50. I understand the electric light system is to be operated by the city of Anaheim, and that its future extension cannot fail to frequently interfere with the telegraph lines, we apprehend that we will be called upon in the future to assume similar opportunities, seems unjust and unfair. I beg your consideration that we are entitled to protection of the city authorities in our business and property, the same as other citizens and taxpayers. We have therefore to request the Honorable Board of Trustees to cause the electric light wires, or if it be more convenient to remove them, we that the expense thereof be reimbursed to us. As you are cognizant of the dangerous proximity of the wires it is, of course, unnecessary to mention the serious liability which the city of Anaheim assumes in case of accident. Very respectfully, FRANK JAYNES, Supt. April 10th the City Clerk forwarded the following: WESTERN UNION TELEGRAPH COMPANY, SUPERINTENDENT'S OFFICE. SAN FRANCISCO, April 10, 1895. M.

I beg your consideration of the fact that we are entitled to protection of the city authorities for our business and property, the same as other citizens and taxpayers. We have therefore to request the Honorable Board of Trustees to cause the electric light wires to be removed to a safe distance from our wires, or if it be more convenient to remove the telegraph wires, that the expense thereof be reimbursed to us. As you are cognizant of the dangerous proximity of the wires it is, of course, unnecessary to mention the serious liability which the city of Anaheim assumes in case of accident. Very respectfully, FRANK JAYNES, Supt. April 10th the City Clerk forwarded the following: ANAHEIM, Cal., April 10, 1895. Frank Jaynes, Esq., Supt. Western Union Telegraph Co., San Francisco—Dear Sir: Your esteemed favor of the 6th inst. would state that in accordance with the provisions of Ordinance No. 76, the city has full power to request any change to be made regarding the location of the poles and wires of your company, and call your particular attention to the pole on the north side of Center street, east of Los Angeles street, in front of the postoffice, which pole was placed there contrary to the provisions of Section 2 of Ordinance No. 76. In conclusion, I respectfully refer you to your letter of acceptance, dated March 23, 1892. Very truly yours, M. NEBENKHASSETT, City Clerk. April 24th Mr. Jaynes replied, as published in these columns last week, that he would close his office here on the 10th of this month. The publication of the letter caused considerable stir among our citizens, many of them not knowing of the intention of the telegraph company to close their office, and the matter was brought to the attention of the Chamber of Commerce with a view to having them intercede and endeavor to prevail upon the company that it was wish of our people that they remain. The Chamber met on Thursday afternoon, and after an investigation of the matter decided to make an effort to have the telegraph company remain. Secretary Blennerhassett was instructed to write Supt. Jaynes to that effect. He promptly wrote as follows: CHAMBER OF COMMERCE, ANAHEIM, Cal., May 3, 1895. To Frank Jaynes, Esq., Supt. W. U. Tel. Co. DEAR SIR: Your intention to close your office in this city came to the knowledge of the members of the Chamber of Commerce and citizens generally by the publication of your letter to the City Clerk, dated April 24, in ANAHEIM GAZETTE of yesterday. A meeting of the Chamber of Commerce was called and held last evening and a committee appointed to confer with you, by letter I presume, and see if you would not reconsider your views in this matter, and also try to arrive at an amicable adjustment of the matter. I am instructed to ask you to kindly defer action for a time sufficient to allow the committee to communicate with you. By so doing you will oblige the members of this body generally and personally. W. H. BLENNERHASSETT, Secretary. Mrs. Lane, manager of the office, telegraphed the main office as follows: ANAHEIM, Cal., May 2, 1895. To Frank Jaynes, Esq., San Francisco, Cal.: Referring to your letter of April 24th, the Chamber of Commerce met today and appointed a committee to write to you asking you to defer MAN'S selfishness has always been added, or four sizes too large for him, but the Red Front in Santa Ana has consideration for their patrons' needs; making it possible for any of our men folks to obtain a perfect fit in their suits and shoes as the best custom tailor or shoemaker can supply them with. Read the Red Front's new advertisement. Menges & Coffin, Dentists, have moved their office to the Metz block, up stairs. Mr. Benchley addressed the board in regard to the establishment of a co-operative cannery at Fullerton, and asked for the support of the Chamber in starting the enterprise. The project is a commendable one, and will no doubt be established in time to handle the incoming fruit crop. A meeting of fruit growers was held at Fullerton last Saturday afternoon to discuss the advisability of starting the cannery. Messrs. Cargill, Fowler and Whitaker attended the meeting in the interests of the Chamber. The board adjourned to this afternoon at 2 o'clock. CENTRALIA ITEMS. Morris Lathrop has recently returned home from San Diego county with forty-five head of milch cows. Mr. and Mrs. Bunion have the sympathy of the entire community in the loss of their infant child the latter part of last week. Misses Kellogg and Browning took their school pionicking on Saturday in the Santiago canyon. Some parents accompanied the jolly merry makers, and much hilarity was indulged in throughout the entire day. On the 1st (Mayday) a number of our good people picnicked at several beaches and canyons. Otis Parks took quite an active interest in distributing posters throughout Centralia for the "Malice for none" lecture by A. C. Smithers of Los Angeles at the Artesia church on Monday May 6th. A large number of our good people attended. E. J. Roller and wife were down from Los Angeles Saturday and Sunday. Mrs. J. C. Roller accompanied them to the city on Monday. The latter contemplates going East sometime this month. She will meet her son, Dr. O. P. Roller, in Illinois, and together they will visit relatives and friends. O. P. graduated in February with high honors at the Pennsylvania College of Dental Surgery. Mrs. Diffendorfer is still improving, and her many friends trust to see her ont amongst them ere long. Man's selfishness has always been added, or four sizes too large for him, but the Red Front in Santa Ana has consideration for their patrons' needs; making it possible for any of our men folks to obtain a perfect fit in their suits and shoes as the best custom tailor or shoemaker can supply them with. Read the Red Front's new advertisement. Menges & Coffin, Dentists, have moved their office to the Metz block, up stairs. Our green feed is perennial, our cows are nearly all of the Jersey stock, and our creamy machinery of the most approved kind. As a consequence the "400" in Panadena, Riverside and other towns have learned to ask at the stores for Westminster butter, and it commands a higher price than any other butter in the market. The coming railroad will add a new impetus to the new industry. Dave Rogers' whose large white farm buildings loom so conspicuously on the western horizon has evidently anticipated all this. He is now milking no less than twenty-five cows and his milk tests among the highest at the creamery. There are scores of farmers who can and will follow his example, and what with the new facilities for export and our natural advantages for stock raising. Westminster butter may develop into a standard article not only in Los Angeles, but in San Francisco. Westminster has been rather dull this week. We have had an occasional visitor, but gossip is scarce. Samson Edwards is engrossed in his Fullerton villas and we understand that he intends erecting more at an early date. Joe Harris is dangerously ill and under the care of Dr. Clay. Mrs. Strain of Los Angeles has returned home after a two weeks' visit with Mrs. Lyman. J. A. Waters has gone to work for Bob Northam. Wallace Woodington and Janette McFadden are married. Joe Hoskins is home on a short visit. The new creamery—a vast improvement on the present one—is forging ahead. There are 55 shares of stock, and of this number 32 have been sold. Dave Rodgers and James Moss are the largest stockholders. Billy Ball has traded a fine horse for a new wheel, but so far would rather ride the horse. Miss Turner is taking a rest after a year's steady work with honest J. F. Patterson. Bob English has been on a visit in town on business bent. The Supervisors are opening up new roads through the peat lands. The Directors of the irrigation district held a short session on Tuesday morning; present, Korn, Benchley, Carroll, Stailey and Stadtegger. Collector Witte reported the collection of $498 during the month. Treasurer Cahen reported a balance in the general fund amounting to $2,047 79; in interest and sinking fund,$27 69. Clerk Nebelung reported receipts of $111 16 from sales of certificates, deeds; etc., and $12 25 from sale of assessment maps to E. R. Amerige. A quit-claim deed was given Dan McFarland to lands in the Claucius tract. The board paid $84 04 claims against the district, and adjourned to the 25th at 10 o'clock. THE WATER BOARD.

The applications were probably denied pending the adoption of the new liquor ordinances which went into effect yesterday, raising the tax from $8 to $20 per year. This is the rate Prof. R. Samish of San Francisco, the well-known instructor in ceramic art, has opened a class for instruction in decorative china work in the Langenberger building on Lemon street, around the corner from Dr. Higgins' drugstore. A visit to the studio yesterday showed a class of ladies diligently at practice painting china, among them Mrs. Dickel, Mrs. Bullard, Mrs. Cahen, Mrs. Rust and Misses Schubert and Cargill. All were progressing admirably much of the painting being a work of art. In the inner room a collection of decorated china which had undergone the heating process was on display, the different pieces being painted most artistically. Prof. Samish informs us he has found more talent in Anaheim for work of this character than in any town since leaving the metropolis, and speaks in terms of praise of his pupils. He will continue the instruction to those who wish, having been captivated by the many charms of our city, and will no doubt get quite a large class to instruct in this most charming feature of decorative art work. A free exhibition of the work will be given on Saturday. Prof. R. L. Bisby of the Orange County business college took occasion to absent him, self from his work for a sufficient length of time on Saturday to make a visit to this city, and incidentally dropped in to see us. Prof. Bisby is an experienced educator, and his college was never under more flattering auspices than at the present time. He gives students a thorough business education, eliminating the theoretical as far as possible for the practical, and finds that the result is such as to recommend the method very highly. The school is a business community in miniature, having its bank, wholesale house, railroad office, insurance office, etc. The students are the business men and women, and carry on business negotiations with each other and managing their affairs as their own natural shrewdness may dictate. Every transaction is consequently a bona fide one. Goods are actually delivered and values exchanged. Bargains are not made in a text-book, but are made by one pupil with another. The advantage of this system, which is only one of its good points, is apparent. Instead of sitting at his desk by himself and with the teacher's help trying to learn the theories of business, the student here learns by his intercourse with others how to approach his associates in a business-like way. He learns how to talk and act like a business man. Prof. Bisby's methods of practical education have resulted in placing the college upon a sound and very satisfactory foundation; and the number of pupils attending is constantly on the increase. The college is open the year round. Mr. C. F. Bassett of San Francisco was in town one day last week paying a visit to his old-time friend, Judge J. B. Pierce, Mr. Bassett was Secretary of the Republican State Central Committee during the last campaign, and his interest in politics did much to help bring about the great Republican victory last November. Until the accession of Gov. Budd he occupied the responsible position of Harbor Commissioner at San Francisco. Years ago he and Judge Pierce had positions in a large business house in the metropolis, the Judge being head clerk and Mr. Bassett bookkeeper, and as soon as he was freed from the cares of the Harbor Commissionership he devoted some time to traveling, and of course could not return home without paying a visit to his old-time associate. Bob Northam, the auburn haired Borealis of the La Habra hills, drove through town in a spirited four-in hand a few days ago, and left a streak of red behind him as far as from here to McNally's. Bob is one of the best whips in Southern California, and his turnout was the finest seen in town for some time. Bob has been noticed coming down as far as Northam station now, on coming home from Los Angeles, giving La Mirada the marble heart. When he sold McNally the tract now occupied by that fine old gentleman at La Mirada, it was understood that the depot was to be placed midway between the mansions of the millionares on the hill, but McNally stole a march, and being a Director in the Santa Fe, put the depot where it suited him best and where it didn't suit Bob at all. So now when Bob comes down from Los Angeles, he passes by La Mirada and comes down to Northam, and then drives back past McNally's residence to his own Call again, Bob. PERSONAL MENTION.
