HAPPENINGS OF THE WEEK Insuring the Boilers at the City Water Works. City Fathers Discuss the Propriety of it at Tuesday Evening's Meeting, and Issue the Official Call for the Approaching Municipal Election—Weekly List of Real Estate Sales—Correspondence from Neighboring Towns—Death of Mrs. Fish—Local Brevities—Minor Mention. The Board of City Trustees met on Tuesday evening and passed the ordinance calling the municipal election and appointing officers for the same. The advertisement containing the details of the election will be found on the second page this morning. Polls will be open at the City Hall at sunrise and will be kept open until 5 o'clock in the afternoon. Sample ballots have been prepared, and the City Clerk will probably mail one to each voter some time during next week. The law provides that sample ballots shall be mailed to voters beginning not less than ten days preceding the election and ending at least three days before it. C.O. Hawley of Los Angeles, representing a steam boiler insurance company, appeared before the board relative to insuring the boilers at the water and electric light works. His company would for the sum of $150 ensure the boilers for a term of three years, upon a valuation of $10,000, and indemnify the city for all losses, will inspect the boilers four times a year during that time, and allow $5,000 for each death resulting from an explosion, and $50 per week for a year in case of disability. Inspection of the boilers, as well as advice regarding proper means of separating minerals from the boilers, would not be attended by any further cost. Mr. Hawley was requested to make his proposition in writing at the next meeting of the board, when the boilers will probably be insured. A draft of the franchise granting the water company right to maintain its ditches in town was presented and discussed at length by the board, and was finally referred back to the committee to confer with the water company further for final agreement as to a number of minor details as a condition precedent to its passage. The board entered into an informal discussion of the matter of increasing the capacity of the electric light works, and replacing the street water mains with new pipes. The board are impressed with the necessity for proceeding as soon as practicable in the matter, and after gathering more data will probably discuss the propriety of issuing bonds for the improvements. that nine out of twelve farmers are now busy putting in a second crop. This is owing in a great measure to the deceltfulness of the season. At first it threatened to be "dry," then it changed its mind and made a desperate effort to be "wet." Then it ultimately decided to be neither wet nor dry, but a sort of mongrel year, to be characterized by mongrel crops. On Tuesday the desert fiend broke loose over the valley once more, and just as we had removed all our house props for the season. It will half undo what the late rain had done, and the farmers now don't know what to do. They are between the devil and the deep sea, and the general impression is that the former will get the beets, or the greater part of them. The corn crop in the neighborhood rarely ever looked better than it does at present. As a rule it was planted early and gave every promise of large and generous yield, but what appearance it will present after the desert fiend goes to bed is a thing no fellow can predict. The probability is that we will all be out asking where it's at. The farmers at Clair have decided to employ a carrier to haul their milk to a creamery, allowing at the rate of ten cents per hundred pounds. The contract has been signed all around with the carrier, but the creamery to be favored with our patronage is still an open question. Sickness is on the decrease in the midst of us, but symptoms of the fecive grip still persist in lingering in the lap of spring. CENTRALIA ITEMS. We are about to lose our reigning society belle, Miss Selma Roller, who will in the near future become Mrs. Passmore of Olive. Miss Roller's many loveable traits of character are as pronounced as her reputation for beauty is widespread, and she will be missed very much by her many friends in this locality. Mr. Passmore is to be envied indeed. Ike Williams has been busy with a force of men trying to give us a good road from Citrus avenue to Hardescrabble, and Ike generally succeeds in what he undertakes. Johnny Roller, who has been very near death's door with brain fever up in Los Angeles, is now in a fair way to recovery. Several of our citizens indulged in the "Pound Donation Party" given to the Reverend Willets, pastor of the Buena Park church, and I am pleased to note it as a success. Apropos I heard a very good yarn relating thereto. One of the donors approached a comrade, and asking whether he had better donate a dollar or a fifty-pound sack of flour, was answered, "Give the dollar." Quoth the other, "A sack of flour looks bigger." "Then," replied a bystander, "if you're on the looks, I'll sell you two bales of hay for a dollar, and you can run them in." Mrs. John Balger returned to her home in Los Angeles on Saturday, after a week's visit to Mr. Potter's family. Mrs. Bulger was the former music teacher of Mr. Potter's daughters, and passed some days with them in response to their invitation.

We hear of bills being sent around by the horticultural inspector,fork parties to pay who have had trees inspected.How is that?The county compels people to have their trees inspected and then they must pay the bill,and if they do not have them inspected they fine them twenty dollars.Along as we pay taxes the county must pay their own bills Where does the twenty dollars go to,或 a larger amount if they so fine them?That rule don't work,nobody will pay such bills If our county is unable to pay such bills why change the law or levy more taxes.

The animal gives every promise of being completely restored to health and usefulness. Tuesday was the critical day, as if decomposition were to have set in it would have developed on that day. However none appeared, and Dr. Lord, the veterinary surgeon, dressed the wound, and pronounced the animal in a fair way of recovery. The tendons had been stitched the day following the accident, and on the mane being brought to the stable a blanket attached to blocks and tackle was rigged in a stall, to go under the body while the animal remained in standing posture, the object being to lift the weight as much as possible from the legs, which were incased in iron shoes with upright bearers and stoutly bandaged. This she evidently objected to, and she was taken to the box stall, where she put in the greater part of the week lying down. Monday she arose and has since given every promise of getting well again.
