HAPPENINGS OF THE WEEK Contract Let for Cementing the Southside Ditch. Work Already Begun on the Canal to Carry Water From Town Jo Katella—Report of the Committee of Inspection of the Placentia Cement Work and the Flumes at Yorba—Santa Clause at the Churches—Visit to the Headquarters of the Associated Orange Growers—George Sells Thinks Debs will be President—Local Brevities—Minor Mention. Clarence Groat was awarded the contract for the cementing of the Southside ditch, running from the East street ditch south and west four miles to the Garden Grove road, by the Directors of the water company at their meeting last Saturday. The price is $11,726 86—away below the estimate, and is considered the lowest bid for work the board have entertained in some time. The ditch will run from the end of the cement ditch on East street southward to the center line of the Hunter ranch, thence west to Mauerhau's, thence southwest along Meredith's land, and on to Rea's corner, and thence along the Garden Grove road to the southwest limits of the district. Work began on Monday morning and the contractor will push it rapidly and have it well along when the new board comes in. There were present at the meeting Directors McFadden, Spencer, Nebelung, Crowther and Amerige, it being the latter's first appearance since his return from the East. The committee on the procurement of a franchise for the maintenance of the ditches in town reported that the time of the engineer had been so taken up with other work that he had not been able to prepare a report on the number of ditches needed, nor on those to be abandoned, and the committee were granted further time. Inasmuch as irrigators were applying for water to be run through the Olive street ditch, a committee consisting of Spencer and Crowther were appointed to appear before the city trustees at their meeting on Tuesday evening and lay the matter before them and ask that the obstruction be temporarily withdrawn, pending the preparation of an application for a franchise. Engineer Rogers reported that he had made a survey of the ditch running through the Wilshire property at Placentia, and estimated the cost of the cementing at $284 for a capacity of 400 inches, $70 less for 300 inches, the distance being 637 feet. Also recommended the cementing of 210 feet of the ditch at the East place. Jacob Winters wrote asking for permission to purchase 40 hours of water to be run on the Miles tract, having no stock upon it, at stockholders' rates. proper proportions of cement and water, a valuable feature of the work. But as we saw it applied it was but a wetting with water tinted with cement, altogether a weak and miserable imitation—a ghost of what it ought to, and no doubt was intended to be, and what you doubtless pay for. A reading of the specifications confirms the statement of the engineer. Your committee also journeyed along the line of your main canal to its intake, examined some of the new flume work and the cement work at—the upper end of the line. Some of us were rather agreeably surprised to note the generally good condition of these works. You are not to infer from this, however, that nothing remains to be done; but that what is done is well done. In the matter of things to do we would suggest an early attention to the construction of a sufficient number of wing dams, running from the bank of the canal, so far into the river as to protect the expensive cement work near the intake, or in lieu of this a reinforcement of the bank by sheet piling, etc., as we are convinced that this work is at continual hazard for the reason that its narrow and friable bank is impinged upon at a dangerous angle by the current of an uncertain and deviously coursed river. Your engineer should be authorized to take counsel on this matter and prepare plans and estimates for the work. All this in order that the usefulness of the new work be not impaired by washing out at its most vital and important point. We further suggest that a thorough application of tar or similar material be made to the wood work of the new flames, paying particular attention to the resting points, as for example, where the sills rest upon the cement foundations, where moisture is likely to accumulate and remain for some time. In going thus far your committee may have somewhat exceeded the duty imposed upon it. If so, interest in the welfare of the property and the section of country to which it is the life-giving principle, must be accepted as its (the committee's) excuse. Also its excuse for impressing upon you the necessity of a continuance in the policy of in every practical way preserving every possible drop of this most valuable of all your resources of wealth and beauty. Very respectfully, W. J. Smith, Chairman, L. B. Benchley, W. J. FAY, E. P. FOWLER, John P. ZEYN, The Committee. No discussion followed the reading of the report, and it was adopted unanimously. A vote of thanks was tendered the committee, and the meeting adjourned. CHRISTMAS EXERCISES. INTERESTING PROGRAMS AT THE METHODIST AND PRESBYTERIAN CHURCHES—EXERCISES AT MAGNOLIA SCHOOL.

Engineer Rogers reported that he had made a survey of the ditch running through the Wilshire property at Hacienda, and estimated the cost of the cementing at $284 for a capacity of 400 inches, $70 less for 300 inches, the distance being 637 feet. Also recommended the cementing of 210 feet of the ditch at the East place. Jacob Winters wrote asking for permission to purchase 40 hours of water to be run on the Miles tract, having no stock upon it, at stockholders' rates. Mr. Amerige objected, as setting a bad precedent, Mr. Spencer moved that, Mr. Winter being a stockholder in the company, and there being plenty of water, the application be allowed. There was no second, and Mr. Amerige moved to furnish the water at double stockholders' rates, or 40 cents per hour, the regular December rate being 20 cents. Agreed to. Superintendent Sheppard was instructed to make a temporary connection between the Placentia avenue and south branch ditch, to avoid the cementers, and run water down to Orangethorpe. Communication of James East asking that some 200 feet of ditch at his place at Placentia be cemented. Recommended by the Engineer, and the work ordered by the board. Secretary Blennnerhassett was instructed to draw a warrant in favor of the California Bank for January interest. The matter of the culvert at the Schumacher place was referred to Mr. Amerige to report at the next meeting. The board went into executive session on the consideration of bids for cementing the Southside ditch and a piece of Orangethorpe avenue ditch. Two bids for each were offered, as follows: For the Southside ditch—C. E. Groat, $11,725 86; W. Fox, $12,117 80. Continuation of the cementing on Orangethorpe avenue: Groat, $1,089; Fox, $1,127. Mr. Amerige opposed the cementing, but the work was awarded Groat, the other Director voting in favor of improving the ditches. On rising from the executive session Mr. Nebolung introduced a resolution to consider whether the recent burning of the walnut trees on Mr. Stone's place, and for which damages are claimed, was not attributable to the contributory negligence of the Fullerton ditch cleaner. A similar claim for damages in this city having been taxed against Herr Holate of Schleswig-Holstein, Mr. Nebolung expressed the conviction that what was good for the Anahiem goose is likewise excellent for the Fullerton gander. The board entertained similar views, and it was so ordered. There being no further business before the board, the meeting adjourned, and immediately thereupon Mr. Fay, of the committee appointed to inspect the work of cementing the Placentia ditches, arose and said that in the absence of Mr. Korn, the chairman of the committee, who was unavoidably absent, he would submit the report of the committee's deliberations. Mr. McFadden was thereupon, on motion of Mr. Rogers, elected as presiding officer, and the large number of stockholders present having been called to order, Mr. Fay read as follows: COMMITTEE'S REPORT ON THE PLACENTIA DITCHES. To the stockholders of the Anaheim Union Water Co.—Gentlemen: The committee which you appointed to inspect the work being done on the line of your canal on Placentia avenue, beg leave to report that they find the work progressing fairly well. The extensive infilling to replace earth, which has been carried off by water in the past, in most places equalling eight cubic feet per linear foot of canal, and at many points exceeding this by many feet, retards the progress and adds greatly to the cost of the work.

Miss Jones Saturday last was a red letter day in the new school district of Magnolia, and old and young looked forward to it with more than ordinary interest. In these days of wars and rumors of wars anything associated with our country's flag is sure to create enthusiasm, and it was the purpose of raising funds to purchase a flag that the entertainment was given. The beginning, middle and end was under the management of a committee of one—Mrs. Ackerman, daughter of our highly esteemed newcomer, Mr. W.H.Kennedy, and it is due to her to say, that she carried it out with infinite eclat. In its interest she made one or two trips to Los Angeles, and night by night for some two or three weeks has been industriously training the little actors in the drama to place the right accent on the right syllable, and to do everything else in the program "according to Hoyle." And now everyone is talking about the entertainment and giving credit where credit is due, for "Thanks, awfully Mrs. Ackerman," is on everybody's lips. The curtain was raised a little after 8 and from that hour until near 12 o'clock the interest of the large audience was kept up continuously. Mr. Metz opened the proceedings in a neatly worded speech. Then came the popular song "America," and the little ones evidently catching the spirit of the President's message to Congress, sung it with a will.

To the stockholders of the Anaheim Union Water Co.—Gentlemen: The committee which you appointed to inspect the work being done on the line of your canal on Placentia avenue, beg leave to report that they find the work progressing fairly well. The extensive infilling to replace earth, which has been carried off by water in the past, in most places equalling eight cubic feet per linear foot of canal, and at many points exceeding this by many feet, retards the progress and adds greatly to the cost of the work. Obviously the amount of this work and its cost would be greatly increased by each year's delay in its execution; not only in the ratio of time elapsed, but in that of the wasting work of water, permitted to wander at its own sweet will. A moment's business-like consideration of the subject cannot but lead to the conclusion that the work is, we will not say timely (as it should have been done years ago); but quite necessary, and to the further conclusion that similar improvements should be inaugurated and carried on until all wasteful loss of water is cut off. By one of the members of this committee it is urged that the nature of the soil through which the particular piece of canal in question flows does not demand cement work. Some of you may agree with him on this point. If so, we, the majority of the viewing committee, beg to direct your attention to the many extensive outwashes of both public and private land and their unsightly character, and ask whether any one could predict what amount of extra work a year or two's delay would entail; and that a canal having a bottom and side area of 20 to 25 square feet per linear foot, with in some parts, a head pressure equal to 6 to 8 feet, and a current retarded by eddies and tree roots, will even in a very compact soil, waste as much water as one in soil more sandy but having a proper stream area and a current due to an unobstructed gradient. Your committee is convinced that the improvement in the appearance of the country adds to the value of every acre of land in the district and justifies the promotion of the enterprise. Your committee is satisfied that the work is carried on as nearly in accordance with the specifications as these will permit. In this connection we will say that on making to your engineer an objection to the consistency of the dishing wash being applied to the cement work, we were informed that the specifications did not particularlyize on that subject, hence while agreeing with us on the insufficient character of the application, he was without power to change it. For your information we will state that the wash referred to would be, if of the Mira Ackerman, is on everybody's ipr. The curtain was raised a little after 8 and from that hour until near 12 o'clock the interest of the large audience was kept up continuously. Mr. Metz opened the proceedings in a neatly worded speech. Then came the popular song "America," and the little ones evidently catching the spirit of the President's message to Congress, sung it with a will. An address of welcome was then delivered by Laura Smitt, which was followed by a recitation, entitled "Our schoolhouse flag," by Estelle Kennedy.

It would be invidious to institute comparisons, especially when each actor scored high. But Ida Kennedy in the "Stupid Scholar" and "Alabama Coon" was worth the whole entrance fee. Harry Bartor in "Pantaloons" was more than good, and Mette Bartor as the "Sick Woman" was admirable. The audience enjoyed themselves immensely and applauded heartily.

several and nights of late to keep up with the demand for sweets. The Candy Kitchen is the best of candy, and Mr. Bruce finds it easy one in imitation of a pond and ice scene, with a clever representation of a log cabin in the background, which seems quite a bit of attention from passersby. The Professor is also going in for turrifices. The patriarchal Judge Freeman of Santa Claus has been cited to appear before the Superior Court to answer why he has not denied a certain deed from Elizabeth Ross to Joshua Ross, deceased, and left with him in court. The grantee having died before the judge could deliver the deed, and the grantor now deceased, the Judge set up the court contention that the heirs of Josiah Ross had no claim to the document. Judge Weller will look into the matter. The following names have been drawn in the January session of term trial jurors: J. Cook, Thomas B. Goodnight, George Bissett, James B. Cameron, Sidney Holloway, V. R. Durfee, F. A. Kore, P. T. Adams, Benton Flood, H. M. Newell, A. T. Moore, John Goodale, C. C. Collins, W. G. Pherson, Fred Rafferty, J. S. Bond, J. R. Stone, Theodore Ford, Henry Jesson, W. J. Al., Andrew J. Cook, William B. Artz, A. Alderman, John H. Edwards, Mahiason Williams, William D. Dickson, William T. Swannford, Claus Seba, D. L. Matheny, Thomas E. Cone). The jurors will appear in court on Thursday next to receive their instructions. Westminster butter and cheese company. A meeting of the stockholders in this energetic and popular co-operation will take place in the first week in January. Several items of importance will be brought before the meeting, among them the establishment of auxiliary skimming stations in Alamitos and elsewhere through the country. The thousand pounds of milk a day is already guaranteed to the Alamitos station, and in connection with it a proposal from J. Gilbert will be submitted, offering to create a free site for the plant and under cover of the building. It is expected that the Alamitos station will have steam by the third week in January. As the Westminster company has been eminently successful under the presidency of Mr. Samantha Edwards and the present board of managers, it is not anticipated that any change will be made in the names of the board. The masquerade ball to be given by the Hallerton band New Years' eve holds out every promise of being a largely attended rehearse social function. The dance will be preceded by a promenade concert, bringing which the following program will be undertaken: Archch "Shonlder to Shoulder"... Christie Mermezzo, from "Cavalleria Rusticana"... Mascagni Control... The Blue and Gray"... J. S. Cox Collection... Chimes of Normandy"... Planquette Texture... Olympian"... Geo. D. Barnard The boys have engaged the beat Los Angeles orchestra to farnish the dance music, tendance in court, and from this Judge McKinley holds that when not in attendance a juror is "justified in returning to his home and if he again attends upon court he does so because there is practically a new demand for his presence, and he should receive mileage to cover the trouble and expense of his travel. E E. Webb who had a force of men and teams employed on the levee work at the Olive bridge, under Contractor Finley, informs us that the work on the approach and protection to the structure has been completed, and its acceptance by the Supervisors is assured. Mr. Finley notified the Supervisors that the work had been completed according to contract, except that piling in the levees above the bridge was omitted, by agreement with County Surveyor Kellogg, in lieu of banking on the bridge approach. The work is the most substantial so far put in, and every hope is expressed that it will withstand the water freshets. Mr. McCallom received in the mail on Tuesday a Christmas present which served to freshen up memories of his old home in Pennsylvania. The present consisted of a couple of rosy-cheeked Pennsylvania apples sent him by his mother, and if he was not the home sickest boy you ever saw for a while, we miss our guess. The apples arrived in perfect condition; are or were bauties of their kind, and one of them was an excellent kind, as we happen personally to know, but never mind about that. It is safe to say that many fond recollections of the old home were conjured up in this simple token of a gentle mother's remembrance, and Mac's eye glistened as he confided to us that he had the best mother in the world. We doff our hat to the good lady, and wish her a Merry Christmas! Our friend Jimmy Craig, the vegetable vendor, who is known to his Celestial friends as O. Q. Tow, informs us that he contemplates a visit to New York to see the sights of big American metropolis. Jimmy has made his pile in vegetables and is thinking of retiring for a season of luxurious ease. While his father, who is with him down on the vegetable ranch near Westminster, thinks of taking a trip to China to see if there is any thing left after the Japanese got through with them, Jimmy will journey Eastward in search of a pretty wife. He rides a bicycle reads the English papers, has a plethora bank account, and is calculated to be looked upon with green eyes envy by the Chinese dudes in Mott street. He will play havoc with the hearts of the Chinese damsels East or West, if we are any judge, and win or lose, will return after blowing himself east of the rockies and go peddling vegetables again. Fleischman has a Christmas exhibit in his market window that illustrates artistic ability in the way of preparing fancy meat displays, which is probably second to that of no man in the country. The center piece is a dressed mutton, with head, feet and trunk entire, sitting at ease in the window bearing the words "Merry Christmas" in harmonious colorings of refined leaf lard as clever a bit of artistic effect as could be imagined. Close at hand are a couple of life-like fowl, artistically constructed of encased bolgna, and decorated in similar manner. The head, tail and everything pertaining to the barnyard fowl are there, all that is lacking is the crow. A Christmas tree with snow effects made by attaching refined lard to the pine branches in imitation of ioclesis is also a very neat affair, and the interior display of stuffed hog's heads, from which the bones have been removed and the interior filled with bolgna, as well as the dressed meats, sausages and decorated hams, bearing the words "Merry Christmas" in colored lard work, make as usual large at present, but cost for hobo meals during their less than $200 per month. The cost of committing them at them while engaged in the pleasure of breaking rock, and no wonders are so high. Sam Federman comes down old haunts occasionally, and was a short time on Monday. When engaged in business here and was heaviest advertisers, he was infirmed to be in front of his Federman, and no one knew what name was Solomon. The him Mister, but now that he has Los Angeles and is an Anabeimehthe boys all call him Sam. He some of putting up a brick block opposite City Hall. Our old friend Charles Hilm from Madera renewing his suitor following very flattering "Please continue sending Thank you as it is one of the best paper California. I have now taken twenty-three years. We are times through the whole of valley. Free trade won't do any old Democrat that has voted since Andrew Jackson's time member vote the Republican voting you both a Happy Christmas Year." This sounds pretty good Democratic friend who knows what free wool means to this coast. With free walnuts and free sugars California might as well go into but we are not quite arrived at the Democratic program; and election we hope to hear sometime.

Then there is the cost of committing them and watching them while engaged in the pleasing pastime of breaking rock, and no wonder the taxes are so high. Sam Federman comes down to visit his old haunts occasionally, and was in town for a short time on Monday. When Sam was engaged in business here and was one of our heaviest advertisers, he was invariably referred to in the style of his initials, S. S. Federman, and no one knew but that his first name was Solomon. The boys called him Mister, but now that he has removed to Los Angeles and is an Anaheimer no longer, the boys all call him Sam. He is thinking some of putting up a brick block on his lot opposite the City Hall. Our old friend Charles Hilmer writes us from Madera renewing his subscription in the following very flattering mention: "Please continue sending THE GAZETTE to me as it is one of the best papers in Southern California. I have now taken the paper some twenty-three years. We are having hard times through the whole of the San Joaquin valley. Free trade won't do, and many an old Democrat that has voted that ticket since Andrew Jackson's time will next November vote the Republican ticket. Wishing you both a happy Christmas and New Year." This sounds pretty good from our old Democratic friend, who knows by experience what free wool means to the sheep men of this coast. With free wool, free oranges, free walnuts and free sugar, Southern California might as well go into insolvency—but we are not quite arrived at that part of the Democratic program; and at the next election we hope to hear something drop. Miss Alice Kirby gave a dinner party in honor of her fifteenth birthday at her home in Peralta on Saturday at which she entertained a large number of her friends.
