LATE NEWS OF THE WEEK. First Meeting of Beet Raisers This Season. The Crop Looking Well, and Some Sixteen or Seventeen Thousand Tons Estimated to Be the Output Here and at Buena Park—Resume of the Figures of Last Year's Campaign—The Directors of the Co-operative Company Call a Meeting of Stockholders to Vote Upon the Question Whether or not to Disorganize the Corporation—School Commencement Exercises—How Billy Smith Lost a Horse by Being too Hospitable to a Stranger—Tommy Dietrich is a Hot-Stuff Coffin Painter. It has been a long time since Kroeger's Hall heard so much best talk as characterized the meeting of Saturday afternoon, when the best growers gathered for the first time this year to appoint their committees to manage their affairs for another campaign. Supervisor Hawkins, the Garden Grove apostle of Populism, presided, in a wide expanse of shirt front, the warmth of the weather making him feel himself impelled to shed his weakit. Andrew Gillison acted as Secretary. Last year's committee was reappointed to make arrangements with the growers of 1896 for the rent of the platform and scales used last year, and which are the property of the Anaheim Beet-Growers' Association. The committee consists of B. H. Hiss, T. J. Jones, S. S. Winters, J. N. Long, A. Gillison, E. F. Kellogg and T. H. Thomson. The committee of this year's growers includes G. W. Snyder, R. J. Sparks, O. S. Devos, M. F. Dunham. The beet shipping season will begin about August 1st. The crop is looking good, and the tonnage is reckoned by Mr. Jones at 12,-000 tons from Anaheim, and between five and six thousand tons from Buena Park, a total of between seventeen and eighteen thousand tons. Two months ago the output was reckoned at 22,000 tons, but the unfavorable weather and the heat of the past few weeks has served to reduce the estimated yield. Secretary Gillison has prepared the following report of the year's operations: The first meeting of beet growers was on the 5th of October, 1894 when tions, and it would be invidious to name any of these pupils as the beat. Dr. Calder, who should have delivered the diplomas, according to program, was unavoidably absent, owing to his professional business. But Miss Leona Brownling, the principal, distributed the diplomas in his absence, with a "savoir faire" and an intelligence of expression that surprised the attending audience, and thus closed the class of '96 of Centralia school district. We understand the Trustees have agreed to engage Miss Browning and Miss Maggie Bowen for the ensuing term. WILL DISORGANIZE. CO-OPERATIVE BEET DIRECTORS VOTE TO CALL A STOCKHOLDERS' MEETING TO VOTE ON DISINCORPORATION. The Board of Directors of the co-operative beet sugar company met in executive session at their office on Tuesday afternoon, and decided to call a meeting of the stockholders of the company on July 18th for the purpose of voting upon the proposition to disincorporate the company. Mr. Capitain had circulated a petition for disorganization, and presented it at the meeting, showing that shareholders representing stock to the extent of 1,779 shares had signed it, and after a short discussion, it was unanimously decided to call a meeting of stockholders to vote upon disorganization. Mr. Fowler, President of the company, who was understood to be against disorganization, finally came over, and with Dr. Bartlett, the Secretary, who votes with him, made the matter unanimous. Messrs. Capitain and Henry stood resolutely for disorganization from the start. It is understood that Mr. Capitain has a new sugar factory proposition to spring upon the farmers, involving the erection of a sugar factory by the Bixby company, of which he is one of the smaller stockholders, on the Corritos ranch, beyond Alamiteo. Another meeting of the Directors will be held on Saturday next, when the assessment to pay the outstanding indebtedness will probably be voted. WATER DIVERSION. FOURTEEN HUNDRED INCHES OF WATER FOUND TO BE ILLEGALLY TAKEN FROM THE RIVER INTEN STREAMS. Fourteen hundred inches of water, running in ten different streams of small volume, between the Chino creek near Rincon and a point ten miles further up the river, were found to be in course of illegal diversion by the committee of the water company who went up to investigate matters last week. The diversion by the Jurupa people seems to have been altogether abandoned, Kleinigkeiten. Tim Carroll has received a patent from Washington for his tilting beet dump. The front of Boyd's grocery establishment looks elegant in a new coat of paint. The Republicans of the county will ratify the nominations made at the St. Louis convention. The Board of Supervisors will sit as a Board of Equalization from July 6th to July 20th inclusive. Rev. Stone preached the baccalaureate sermon to the graduating class at the Presbyterian church on Sunday evening. The Epworth League of the Methodist church enjoyed a social at their church on Tuesday evening. Fred Maurer has been granted a license for the continuance of his saloon at the Southern Pacific depot. Wieder noch ein mal. A ridiculous yarn to the effect that Dunham, the San Jose murderer, was in town, was current on the streets on Monday afternoon. Arthur Lewis and Lloyd Bailey drove up to Los Angeles on Tuesday morning, returning in the evening, driving Rainy J and Fashion. The weather has been particularly disagreeable of late, and the altitudinal thermometer makes one sigh for the bills or the seashore. Heinrich Knapke is troubled with a cancerous affection on the neck, which gives him lots of trouble, but which his friends hope will not terminate seriously. Prof. Frantz and his ostriches left the Wallace circus at Denver, and showed there on Sunday last. He goes to Colorado springs this week, but it itinerary thence is indinite. The Santa Ana Herald has an electric light department "continued from day to day," taken from the columns of the Gazette. That's right; neighbor; spread the light, and talk municipal ownership. That's the salvation of the people. County Clerk Brock has an advertisement in our columns this morning that will be found to be of interest to asphaltum men. The Clerk asks for bids for covering the Olive and MoPherson bridges with asphaltum. Bert Kuebler, son of Harrison Kuebler, rides a home-made bicycle, manufactured by himself, which beats walking all hollow. He is envy of the youngster without a wheel, and is thinking of entering the first roadrace and making a spurt for the championship. Quite a number of people visited the Landing on Sunday and enjoyed the unrivalled The committee of this year's growers includes G. W. Snyder, R. J. Sparks, O. S. Devoe, M. F. Dunham. The beet shipping season will begin about August 1st. The crop is looking good, and the tonnage is reckoned by Mr. Jones at 12,000 tons from Anaheim, and between five and six thousand tons from Buena Park, a total of between seventeen and eighteen thousand tons. Two months ago the output was reckoned at 22,000 tons, but the unfavorable weather and the heat of the past few weeks has served to reduce the estimated yield. Secretary Gillison has prepared the following report of the year’s operations: The first meeting of beet growers was held on the 26th of October, 1894, when F. H. Keith was elected Chairman and Andrew Gillison Secretary, to hear from Mr. Haobe Gillison's proposition as to our raising beets for the season of 1895. He expected the price to be $35 for 12 per cent beets, with a rise of 25 cents for each one per cent over 12 per cent. A committee was sent to Los Angeles to try and have the Southern Pacific Company reduce the freight from 75 cents per ton, but on their return they reported to us that their journey had been unsuccessful. The first meeting of those holding contracts was called by postal card, and held at Kroeger's Hall, Anaheim, on February 2, 1895, when the following committee of seven was elected to take charge of the season's work and make all necessary arrangements for shipping beets: J. W. Hawkins, B. H. Hiss, A. Gillison, J. N. Long, T. H. Thomson, T. J. Jones and S. S. Winterts. At their first meeting they elected J. W. Hawkins Chairman and Andrew Gillison Secretary. For the first month your committee had a good number of meetings and found out a good deal about the different methods of loading the cars. A sub-committee called on T. J. F. Boege and found he required 4 cents per ton as rent for use of his platform and scales, or would sell for $375, or he would weigh and load for 5 cents on long platform and 10 cents by net, but would supply no labor for shovel platform. Tim Carroll's dump was next examined and found to be practical except that it was too low by 5 or 6 feet. The railroad company was also called on and gave permission to put a movable bridge over the side track, alongside of Clay Kellogg's warehouse, so as to dump into cars from the hind end of wagons. This was found to be impracticable on account of the great height it would have to be over the track. An elevator was also looked at, but it was found that the beets would have to drop 9 feet from the end of the elevator to the bottom of the car, and an engine would be required to run it, so this was dropped. On May 25th all these propositions were put before you, and finally left to your committee to do the best they could. From the manner in which our last season passed off it appears that the side dump that was erected worked satisfactorily. I may draw your attention to the fact that one morning there were 33 wagons left from the day before, on account of the shortage of cars, and the number increased till 8:30 o'clock, when the freight came in, and at 10 o'clock, or in an hour and a half, there were fully 50 wagons unloaded without the least hitch. I will now compare the different processes: To buy T. J. F. Boege's platform and scales and labor to load 15,000 tons, at nearly 112 cents, $1765. Elevator, etc., at 11 cents, $1650. Tim Carroll's plan (estimated cost $300, which was afterward found to be too low) at 6 cents, $1125. And the actual cost which we adopted on a tonage of 18,666 tons, cost for platform, scales and labor loading, 7,731 cents, $1,-388 23. There were shipped from Anaheim 989 cars of sugar beets, weighing gross, 37,333-840 pounds; freight on same, $14,000 19; tape denoted. WATER DIVERSION. FOURTEEN HUNDRED INCHES OF WATER FOUND TO BE ILLEGALLY TAKEN FROM THE RIVER INTEN STREAMS. Fourteen hundred inches of water, running in ten different streams of small volume, between the Chino creek near Rincon and a point ten miles further up the river, were found to be in course of illegal diversion by the committee of the water company who went up to investigate matters last week. The diversion by the Jurupa people seems to have been altogether abandoned, their flames and ditches put in a couple of years ago being in disuse and going to rack and ruin. The flume that was blown down a year ago last winter is still in ruins and nothing is doing in the way of irrigation on the ranch. One enterprising rancher, however, has thrown a dam across the river at this point, and diverses probably 450 inches of water on to his hay field, and has raised a fine crop of hay. Engineer Rogers, who was one of the committee of four to go up the river, approached the humphre,and observing that a line of grade stakes, for Pomona and Eleinore railroad, had recently been run through the country, represented himself as a railroad contractor shortly to make his advent into the country with a large force of graders, and looking for hay. "What's hair worth up here," quothe inimitable wit of the Pastime club. "Eight dollars delivered," replied the hombre, but he later refused to make a contract for any large amount, saying that good hay was scarce in the country, and he hated like the devil to sell his for $8 and then have the graders come along and have his neighbors sell theirs for $16. "Hay's going to be rather scarce through here, isn't it?" asked Rogers. "Good hay is scarce, but so long as I've got a whole river here to run on to my land, I can raise any God's quantities of it." Mr.Rogers eyed the dam thrown across the river bed, backed the water sufficiently to permit this enterprise gentleman to run what water he needed on to his land, and over which obstruction a volume of several thousand inches, clear as crystal, whispered majestically along, glistening in its wide expanse in the sunlight, and he wondered what this unspeakable hombre wouldn't do if he had half a chance. Probably he wouldn't do a thing to us! Ten streams were found to be running water out of the river illegally, along a stretch of ten miles from Chino creek coast. The attention of the Law committees of the companies here and at Orange will be called to the matter, and an immediate stopper placed upon the diversion. The other members of the committee were Supt. Sheppard of this side, and Supt. Gardiner and Mr. Northercross of the other side of the river. They went up on Thursday and returned on Saturday evening, and report a rough and tiresome trip. If there has been any increase in the price of hay at Jurupa on account of the railroaders' visit, we advise the farmers there not to hold the price too high, for there's liable to be a slump. THE OSTEOPATHIC SCHOOL. Elsewhere in this issue will be found the advertisement of the Osteopathic school located in the Hotel del Campo building on Olive street, and which has already a number of patients from different parts of the country. The school is in charge of Dr. Scheurer and Moore, and has become quite popular among the afflicted, not only from the contiguous towns, but from outside sections as well. Samuel Parrott of Santa Ana has exchanged his property there for Anaheim property, and will move to Analeh at once to attend the Osteopathic school. Robert Northrup and wife have moved from Santa Ana to Analeh and will attend County Clerk Brook has an advertisement in our columns this morning that will be found to be of interest to asphaltum men. The Clerk asks for bids for covering the Olive and McPherson bridges with asphaltum. Bert Kuebler, son of Harrison Kuebler, rides a home-made bicycle, manufactured by himself, which beats walking all hollow. He is the envoy of the youngster without a wheel, and is thinking of entering the first roadrace and making a spurt for the championship. Quite a number of people visited the Landing on Sunday and enjoyed the unrivaled battling facilities. The first tent has appeared, and soon the beach will awaken to new life as the warm weather drives the denizens of the interior to the beach. Maier & Zoblein, the Los Angeles brewers, have docketed judgment in the County Clerk's office at Santa Ana against W.H. Bowers and C.H. Parker, recently managers of the Brunswick hotel in that town, for $343 10,$7 50 costs. While purchasing stores in town Monday evening and while on her way home some 3 miles southwest of town Mrs. Fowler discovered that she had lost a pocket book containing some $135. Although diligent search was made for the missing money, no trace of it could be found. The report that the Bixbys have in contemplation the erection of a sugar factory on the Cerritos has had the effect of enlivening real estate sales in that neighborhood,and yesterday a sale sixty acres was consummated,and other deals are reported. The ladies' euchre club were entertained by Mrs. Christ on Friday afternoon last.Mrs. Hartung won the first prize Mrs.Melrosethe second,and Mrs.Rossthe booby.The next meeting will be at Cheatean Landell.The ladies are looking forward to some spirited enjoyment at the meetings during summer. The wife of John Rimpau presented him with twins at Yuma on Thursday morning last.On Saturday came the distressing intelligence that one had died that morning.The body will be brought here for burial when Mrs. Rimpau returns which will be shortly.Miss Annie Everhardy is now in Yuma with her sister. Herman Dickel's bay mare which was injured by having the hind tendons severed in a runaway accident in Soquel canyon some weeks ago; was on Saturday sufficiently recovered to be driven in light harness.Jockey Hahn who has had animal in charge,tells us she will be able to trot a pretty good race yet. The people of Fullerton are preparing to have a grand celebration of the Glorious Fourth,and a postal card from Editor Johnsonofthe Tribune brings the intelligence that an invitation thereto is extendedthe people of this city.Inasmuch as there will probably be no celebration herewhat say ifwe go over?

And the actual cost which we adopted on a tonnage of 18,666 tons, cost for platform, scales and labor loading, 7,731 cents, $1,-388 23. There were shipped from Anaheim 989 cars of sugar boots, weighing gross, 37,333-840 pounds; freight on same, $14,000 19; tare deducted. Net amount on which farmers were paid, $75,393 24. There was deducted by the Chino Valley Beet Sugar Co. from our beets, 20 cents per ton, amounting to $3733 46; and paid out in expenses, per account already sent you, $1943 22, which left a balance of $1790 24, which amounted to 9.3 cents per ton, and was returned to the growers according to their tonnage. The cost of the platform and scales, amounting to $845, has been apportioned among the growers at the rate of $1 per share, according to the amount incurred by each, and certificates of stock issued for the same. Another meeting will be held at Mr. Jones' residence on Monday to make further arrangements for the shipping season. CENTRALIA SCHOOL. Commencement Exercises. The people of Centralia school district are heartily congratulating themselves on the successful termination of their school year. After a period of two years there has been graduated from the schoolhouse a class that will reflect honor upon Miss Leona Browning, the principal, as well as on the scholars of the district. The main school building was profusely decorated with flowers of every variety, the carnation prevailing, as it does at this time of the year. "All Centralia" and his family were present, and the exercises, both musically and scholastic, would have been most creditable to a more pretentious community. The Westminster quartet gave several fine numbers during the evening. Mr. Loughboro, accompanied by Miss Margaret Landell on the piano, performed most artistically a violin solo. The Misses Johnson and Landell favored the audience with a piano duet, rendering one of Mozart's fine symphonies. Each and everyone were recalled with vigorous encores. The essays of the graduating class, consisting of Miss Geraa Weber, Masters Edwin Calder, Walter Bowen, Elbert Foster and Merton Cawthorn, were really fine composts. THE OSTEOPATHIC SCHOOL. Elsewhere in this issue will be found the advertisement of the Osteopathic school, located in the Hotel del Campo building, on Olive street, and which has already a number of patients from different parts of the country. The school is in charge of Dra. Schenrer and Moore, and has become quite popular among the afflicted, not only from the contiguous towns, but from outside sections as well. Samuel Parrott of Santa Ana has exchanged his property there for Anaheim property, and will move to Anaheim at once to attend the Osteopathic school. Robert Northrup and wife have moved from Santa Ana to Anaheim and will attend the school. Mrs. Simonson of Chicago who has charge of the dining-room at the sanitarium opened the same for business on Tuesday last. H. E. Hunt and W. L. Metcalfe are taking a course in Osteopathy. Card of Thanks. To those kind friends whose ministrations in the hour of our recent trial, consequent upon the death of daughter and sister, will ever be remembered, we take this means of returning our unbounded and heartfelt thanks. MRS. ANN CHYNOWETH, H. W. CHYNOWETH. Anaheim, June 17, 1896. Prices have taken another tumble in all kinds of merchandise at the Red Front. Remember when they say they will reduce a price the public knows it to be so. Go there and see prices and satisfy yourself. Strayed. From my place at Placentia on June 8th, a dark brown mare, fifteen hands high, weight about 1,000 pounds. Anyone knowing her whereabouts, please address me at Placentia and receive suitable reward. HUGO WETZEL. The Southern Pacific Co. will sell round trip tickets to Ventura, July 1st to 10th, to members of the G. A. R. and their families, also friends intending to camp with them, for a single fare, viz., $3 30. Arrangements have been made for a different program each day during the encampment. It will pay the public in general to pay a visit to the San Francisco Cheap Cash store in the Odd Follows' building. While their closing out sale of clothing is going on they will sell their goods at prices far lower than in Los Angeles or Santa Ana. Cheap Rates to San Diego. The California Southern will run two cheap excursions to San Diego, June 26th and 27th, at a rate of $3 for the round trip, tickets good for thirty days. Board. With or without room. At Mrs. Minor's may 14 Mesars. W. M. McFadden, Ernest Browning and Max Nebolung, the Law committee of the water company, go to Orange this morning in company of Attorney Melrose, to confer with a similar committee of irrigators on the other side of the river, about the preparation of papers to restrain the illegal diversion of water up the river. A dispatch from Washington, under date of June 9th, tends to an erroneous impression in the statement that "the special postoffice service between Clair and Anaheim will be discontinued June 30." The discontinuance of the special service does not entail the abolition of the service; a regular contract for carrying the mails three times a week, let to T. J. Robinson of Alamitos, and which goes into effect July last taking the place of the special service referred to. Clair is too populous a community not to have a Postoffice. The team belonging to Bentz Bros. took it into their heads while standing hitched up in the yard on Tuesday morning; prepartory to starting out with the delivery omeat; to take a spin around the block them selves; and they forthwith cavorted out of the yard at breakneck speed. They described a parabolic curve across the street; and came into collision with the telegraph pole in front of this office; wrapping the wagon around the pole; smashing the harness and raising cain gen erally. The horses continue in their flight; leaving the overturned wagon to be an object of interest to early pederans. After circling about town for a spell they were recovered and returned to the shop; and the wagon was from its position and taken to the blacksmith shop for repairs. "Row, not Drift," is the motto of this graduating class to take part in the commencement exercises at the Opera-house thursday evening. The class consists of the following graduates: Archer Fay, Ella H. Warne Waldo Brown, Alice Warner, Stephen Rinepan Theresa C. Fay Allan Melrose Avvans Julia M. Abbey Willie L. Hack Minnie Champlin.

There was nothing out of the way in that, and the whole affair was wound up with neatness and dispatch and without the recourse to any red tape. But if Mr. Carrez (who lives at San Pedro, and is evidently a subscriber of the American) ever steals another horse in Anaheim, he will decorate a sour apple tree, and Br. Bynon will be short a subscriber. —Edward Kahlbaum, representing the Matthew implement company of Los Angeles, has assumed charge of the implement works lately conducted by John Schauman, and will hereafter conduct the same. We hope to have a nice display advertisement from him ere long, as Schauman built up his business by his advertising and expenditures for poster work; and being a man of affairs, Mr. K. will doubtless follow the example of his illustrious predecessor. Then we'll have more to say about him. —People who have been wont to journey to the Landing in past years are indignant at the way the roads leading to that watering place have been closed up by a land agent who claims to represent Hellman's interest in that section. The highway has been an open roadstead for twenty years, and the matter will be laid before the Supervisors, and an attempt made to have the obstructions removed. Henry Smythe and Eddie Boege who went down to the springs at Capistrano a week or two ago to take the waters of the springs, have returned, greatly invigorated in health, and ready to tackle the joys of every day work and care again. They bring the report that John Schauman, who is sojourning at the springs, is improving in health, and puts in the time going from tent to tent playing scat. Is it ten, John? —A dozen contractors were found to have bids in for erection of the schoolhouse at La Habra, when the offers were opened on Monday, and Contractor McWilliams of this city was found to have one next to the lowest bid, being just $7 higher than the bid of Contractor French of Garden Grove, which was $1,616. Mr. McWilliam'e' bid was $1,625, and the others ran up as high as $1,800. The contract was not awarded, and the chances are good for Mac to get it. Mr. Capitain writes to the Independent to say that he has no claim against the sugar company for $7,000, or for any other amount, "unless the factory was being erected and he be retained as architect." A Director of the company informed us that Capitain had been nursing a claim of $7,000 against the concern, but that the Board of Directors refused to entertain it. Some little friction is said to exist between certain members of the Directorate hitherto hand in glove, and one hears a deal about disorganization after the PERSONAL INTELLIGENCE. W. F. Botaford returned on Tuesday evening from his trip East. Editor Bourland of the Independent and family leave this morning for a week's ointing at Laguna. Johnny Kuebler and Frank Stone are enjoying a vacation with their families "at Laguna.

Prof. Keran, Principal of the Anaheim schools, has been elected a member of the County Board of Education, vice Prof. Carpenter of Fullerton, term expired. The selection is eminently fitting and deserved. John H. Nelgen who has been living at Brookhurst for several months past, has disposed of his place to a Mr. Spreng of Los Angeles and has accepted a position in the Herall's circulating department. Mr. Brumworth and family, living on the corner of Sycamore and East streets, and Miss Hickman, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. J. H. Hickman, left on Tuesday for a few days' outing at Newport. Clarence Groat is at Colton putting down cement sidewalks. He has Billy Fox, Bruno Bennerscheidt and Dominick Jordan to assist him.

Miss Ella Gardiner who is acting as agent of the telegraph during Mrs. Lane's temporary absence has had the enterprise to put out interesting bulletins from the St. Louis convention in front of the Postoffice. Miss Daisy Johnson of the public schools administration the large indebtedness was raised up of any charge of dishonesty in the transaction. Platt was weak, however, and was at once relieved of further responsibility by agent for the exchanges. Mr. and Mrs. Derge, Sr., and then daughter, Miss Luoy Derge, left for this home in Wisconsin on Tuesday. Drugga Derge and wife accompanied them as far Los Angeles.
