HAPPENINGS OF THE WEEK A Matter of Absorbing Interest to Irrigators. The Abundance of Water and the Short Time Taken to Complete the Runs has Caused Numerous Offerings of Water Stock and the Price has Depreciated—The Water Board Will Attempt to Devise Means to Put an End to the Practice—May Adopt the Sliding Scale in Operation on the Other side of the River—Correspondence From Outlying Sections—Mrs. Rimpau's Carrier Pigeon Makes the Trip From Anaheim to Tia Juana — B. Moulot Returns From the Pyrenees—Jake Stern and Family Will Leave for Germany on a Visit—Local Brevities, At the meeting of the Directors of the water company on Monday afternoon, Director Browning introduced the following resolution, which will be found to be of universal interest: WHEREAS, Owing to the present facilities for distributing water and the consequent saving, stockholders are enabled to get what water they need on less stock than formerly; and WHEREAS, Owing to the increased quantity of stock offered for sale in consequence, the price of this company's stock has steadily declined; and WHEREAS, If this continues it will be detrimental to the financial standing of the company. Moved, That a committee be appointed to consider means to remedy this, and especially to investigate the sliding scale of prices for water adopted by the Santa Ana Valley Irrigation Company. Mr. Browning supported his resolution by saying that the price of the company's stock was steadily going down, and more stock was being hawked about the district for sale than ever. Irrigators can now get water so abundantly and runs come around to them so quickly that shareholders have sold in cases the bulk of their stock, and the many offers of stock for sale have tended to decrease the price, until now one can buy stock at $9. If this continues, the price may dwindle to nothing, and the effect upon the company's credit would be the opposite of beneficial. On the other side of the river they have what is called the sliding scale, under which an irrigator with twenty acres of land and twenty shares of stock is furnished water cheaper than one with twenty acres and five shares of stock. The motion prevailed, and the chair appointed Messrs. Browning, Key and Nebe- ranch were damaging the ditch. To the attorney. Mr. Spencer brought up the matter of the necessity for putting in a pipe across Broadway near Cheeseman's store. To the Ditch Committee. On motion of Mr. Key the acceptance of the Foos ditch at Placentia was deferred until rights of way for an intervening ditch were procured. The board discussed the matter of the ditch leading to Mr. Barron's land, near Brookhurst, and the matter went over without action. On motion of Mr. Browning a committee was appointed to confer with the Engineer and report at the next meeting as to the feasibility and probable cost of a reservoir to be situated near Anaheim, of sufficient capacity to hold the night water in the summer months, and to maintain a steady flow all the time. Browning, Rogers, Key and Spencer were appointed such committee. The Secretary was authorized to draw a warrant in favor of Mr. Christian, for $15, on the assignment of his claim against Pipe-maker Schade, or work done in Horseshoe Bend. Adjourned. PLACENTIA POINTERS. THE LAST OF THE ORANGE SEASON—THE SCARE ABOUT ORANGES FALLING FROM THE TREES PROVES TO BE UNFOUNDED. EDITOR GAZETTE. The last of the oranges were hauled off last week. Several straggling lots from the corroards of Wagner, Klokke and McFadden marked the close of the season. The walnut crop is now claiming attention. The association has disposed of its crop (estimated at 25 cars) to the Cutting Fruit Packing Co. at satisfactory rates. There has never been any understanding among the walnut growers as to wages for picking the crop. Some pay by the day, others by the sack, others by the hundred pounds. A great many do a part or all the work themselves. Since the crop has increased to such large proportions, and being work that boys, women and children can work at and make fair wages, it has been almost agreed upon that 60 cents a hundred pounds for cleaning from the trees and picking clean from the ground will be the ruling price for the coming year. The weight to be that given at the packing-house when delivered there. The water for irrigating is abundant, everyone getting all his stock will permit every two weeks, and this an exceptionally dry year. The water company is furnishing water for at least 10,000 acres upon 7,000 shares of stock. Would it not be better for the company to sell 3,000 shares more stock, and limit the water to stock, rather than permit irrigators to irrigate in excess of their stock? Apricot drying is in full blast. A. Pierotti has a large crop and gives employment to a Kleinigkeiten. The air is filled with rumors of new railroads and sugar factories. The Bixby land company have filed articles of incorporation with the County Clerk. Mrs. Bauer and family went down to the Landing yesterday in Gade's 'bus', to camp for the season. Johnny Kuebler and Frank Stone and families have returned from their onting at Laguna. A marriage license was issued Friday to William C. Slater of Orange and Miss Carrie Paty of this city. Mr. Stanley, a newarrival, has purchased a tract of land south of the Catholic cemetery, and will put up a house and barn. John Stanton took his departure yesterday for Wadsworth, Nevada, to accept a position with the Central Pacific railroad company. Mr. Cahen advertises a cottage at the Landing for sale cheap; also a lost cape, for the return of which a suitable reward will be paid. The Hussman boys have put into their barber shop a handsomely carved cup case, to meet the wants of their constantly increasing throng of customers. H. C. Gade did a rushing business carrying visitors over to the Fourth of July festivities at Fullerton on Saturday. Napoloon Hart, Tim Boege, Dick Callahan and August Freie have been granted licenses by the Supervisors to conduct their restaurants in this city. J. L. Schumacher, the soda water man, has lumber on the ground on his lot on the corner of Center and Citron streets to put up a large barn. Mr. Jones informs us that the beets are ripening very rapidly, and that the first shipments to Chino will probably be made about the 25th inst. Another change in the Santa Fe time table went into effect on Monday. The 10:09 a.m. north bound, and 10:45 south bound trains have been cut out. Mr. Susmil was out on Tuesday for the first time in two weeks after a severe attack of illness that confined him to his bed for that length of time. Charley Federman has put up some large awning signs in front of his store detailing the bargains in shoes and clothing to be encountered therein. Louie Bolz was up from the Landing yesterday. Louie tells us there exists a deep-laid scheme to make him vacate his premises at the Landing, but he says there will be nary a budge. been hawked to decrease the price, until now one can buy stock at $9. If this continues, the price may dwindle to nothing, and the effect upon the company's credit would be the opposite of beneficial. On the other side of the river they have what is called the sliding scale, under which an irrigator with twenty acres of land and twenty shares of stock is furnished water cheaper than one with twenty acres and five shares of stock. The motion prevailed, and the chair appointed Messrs. Browning, Key and Nebelung as such committee. The resolution is timely, and the matter involved in the motion is one that appeals with significance to every irrigator in the district. But the remedy for the ill referred to is not far to seek. It is simply the enlargement of the district. With two thousand additional acres taken in, and two thousand shares of stock placed upon it, shareholders would not be so anxious to unload their stock, but would be compelled to carry sufficient stock for their own protection. Supt. Sheppard reported in this connection that Supt. Gardiner of the other side of the river had informed him that the Santa Ana company was irrigating 14,200 acres, and that it took from six to seven weeks to get around with a run. Here we have seven thousand shares outstanding, which should represent seven thousand acres irrigated, but those in a position to know declare that from two to three thousand acres additional are irrigated. This should be put a stop to, if the company is ever to be made a success of. Mr. Crowther reported on the ditch put in by Constable Pendergrast at Fullerton, through which Mrs. Strodthoff's land would be supplied with water. It was found that the lady's land could not be irrigated from the ditch, and inasmuch as it was reported that the redoubtable office would not change the ditch, nor allow the old one to be opened up, the committee was continued to investigate the subject further, and to report at the next meeting. Mr. Spencer reported on the proposed cement ditch on Mrs. Langenberger's north line. The lady had originally, so Mr. Spencer reported, agreed to donate one-third of the cost of the ditch, and he was commissioned to ascertain whether the donation could not be increased to one-half the cost. The lady had on investigation decided to donate $50 towards the construction of the ditch, and as the same will cost $404 40, Br. Spencer's persuasive faculties were voted to have been in anything but good working order. Mr. Spencer reported on the matter of the franchise now pending before the City Trustees, to maintain the company's ditches on the streets of the city, and recounting how, at last meeting of the council, he had increased the company's bid from $5 to $100 to secure the franchise. Action endorsed, and the Secretary authorized to draw a warrant in payment of the same. The committee, consisting of Messrs. Browning, Rogers, Crowther and Spencer, who were appointed to confer with Col. Bailey of the Olinda ranch in reference to securing rights of way through the ranch, reported that the Colonel had offered two rights of way through the premises, and recommending the acceptance of the proposition. As to the relinquishment of the rights of way now owned by the company through the ranch, in consideration of the new rights of way offered, the matter was referred to the attorney to report for final action. Secretary Blennethassett read the following report of transactions in his office for the month of June: Cash on hand at last report: $251 54 Water sales - Anaheim: 1,131 71 North Anaheim: 1,973 59 Received from assessment: 3,000 50 Received from Joe Marentien, for damages to ditch: 30 09 Total: $6,440 90 Paid Treasurer: 6,101 60 The water for irrigating is abundant, everyone getting all his stock will permit every two weeks, and this an exceptionally dry year. The water company is furnishing water for at least 10,000 acres up to 7,000 shares of stock. Would it not be better for the company to sell 3,000 shares more stock, and limit the water to stock, rather than permit irrigators to irrigate in excess of their stock? Apricot drying is in full blast. A. Pierotti has a large crop and gives employment to a good many girls and men. Others are taking care of their crops. The hay crop is now being stored away for the season. Everyone is laying in what he needs for the season. The hay being short and full of grain makes it cheap at $8 a ton. P. Hansen comes out now with a spick and span new surrey. He is keeping up with the procession. The father of Geo. B. Key has bought the Strain orange grove on Placentia avenue, opposite Mr. Hansen and adjoining Mr. Sandilands on the south. The scale bugs are being slaughtered by the fumigator on Mr. McFadden's ranch. Messrs. Chapman are using spray on their grove. The scare about all the oranges falling off was premature. There seems to be an average crop still on the tree. No signs of any epidemic or disease appears on our walnut trees, although we hear much of disease in other parts. Mrs. Raspole and her daughter Bessie, who spent several weeks here visiting friends have left for their home in Cleveland, Ohio; via San Francisco, where they will stop for a couple of weeks. They have been much pleased with the country and may return to locate permanently. Mrs. D. W. Gelwicks of Oakland, widow of the Hon. D. W. Gelwicks, is expected to visit friends in Placentia this week. Mrs. Gelwicks formerly lived on the Olinda ranch about eighteen years ago. She will see many changes in that time. Quite a number of our people are beginning to turn their heads toward the coast. Mr. Pendleton's family are at Long Beach. Mr. Nenno's also. Mr. Hansen and family will soon occupy their cottage at the Landing. Mr. McFadden's family will also spend some weeks there. Capt. Wrede is quite slok. Saturday last he was unconscious for several hours. At last accounts he was slightly better. John Lemke's children are down with the measles. A. T. Pendleton is up from Long Beach. He reports the weather lovely and just made to order. Fourteen of our young ladies and gentlemen drove to Long Beach with a four-hour bus on the Fourth of July. They report a way up time. Geo. B. Key is up from Newport, looking hale and hoaty. He reports catching several whales. The Baxter Brothers are baling hay in this vicinity. Mr. Berkenstock commenced to fumigate Monday night. He will do nearly all the fumigating in this section this year. Tim Carroll is engaged upon a model of his patented best dump, at Connolley's blacksmith shop, and has a number of very fine testimonial regarding the efficiency of the same. These will be published in pamphlet later on, and circulated broadcast throughout the country, and Tim expects to meet with a ready sale for the dump, there being nothing like it in the country. Certain it is that nine hundred carloads of beets sent from here to Chino last season could not have been handled with such dispatch by the use of any other apparatus, and as the dump comes more and more into general use, work that boys' womens children can work at and make fair wages, it has been almost agreed upon that 60 cents a hundred pounds for cleaning from the ground will be the ruling price for the coming year. The weight to be that given at the packing-house when delivered there.

Communication from Pipemaker Schade announcing that he had cancelled all orders given by him for moneys coming to him from the company, and that unless a balance owing him and amounting to $157 50 for work done at Horseshoe Bend were paid, he would have to look around for assistance in collecting the debt. On the table. Engineer Rogers reported the pipe put in by Schade at Bowning's corner to be in bad condition, one hundred feet of it requiring substantial repairs. The board went into executive session on the pipe question, and notified Schade if the pipe were not put in serviceable condition, and to the satisfaction of the Engineer, within thirty days, the company would do the work itself and charge the same to his account. Engineer Rogers was advanced $80 for placing in registers and putting in dams in the river, to note the amount of diversion. Robert Hansen appeared before the board in reference to a disrepairy between him and the company's books amounting to $10 40. Referred. Supt.

These will be published in pamphlet form later on, and circulated broadcast throughout the country, and Tim expects to meet with a ready sale for the dump, there being nothing like it in the country. Certain it is that the nine hundred carloads of beets sent from here to Chino last season could not have been handled with such dispatch by the use of any other apparatus, and as the dump comes more and more into general use, the work of unloading will be greatly expedited. Tim is an old hand at the patent business and has already procured a number of patents for horticultural implements, among them being his tree transplanter, which achieved such great success a number of years ago; but he never patented anything like the beet dump, which is destined to revolutionize the art of dumping. It will no doubt come into general use with the railroads and shipping, instead of shoveling out a carload of coal, for instance, all one has to do is to run the car upon the dump, tilt it to any required angle, and over goes the load of coal. BUENA PARK ITEMS. Madam S. A. Elliott, who has been a guest at Mr. Andrew Whitaker's for six months, returned to her home in Chicago last Thursday. Messrs. Ernest Billmire of Los Angeles, John Yerby and John McGirk of El Monte and Mr. and Mrs. H. M. Whitaker spent Sunday at A. W. Whitaker's. The Free Methodist tent is quite well filled each night. Children's meetings are held in the afternoon. Tents on the ground are not being put up very rapidly, there being only four, when the expectation was that the town would be filled with them.

Ben is one of the handsomest counter-jumpers in the Boston store, and as the proprietor of the establishment is a very charming widow, there ought to be a good chance for Ben jumping in and owning the store himself. Hey, Ben? Druggist Derge has prepared a superior quality of witch hazel cream, for which he has not only a ready sale in town, but has calls for it from Los Angeles. Witch hazel is the sovereign remedy for chapped hands and face and the proper thing to apply to the face after shaving, and all barbers should have it. Derge's preparation is of superior merit, and is made after his own recipe. The electric lights went out at half-past 9 o'clock Tuesday evening on account of the breaking of the belt circling the dynamo.

The fire started in a closet on the upper floor, and had attained quite an active headway before being discovered. The upper hall was filled with smoke, and only the fact that the door to the closet was tightly closed prevented a disastrous conflagration. The blaze was put out before doing any material damage. —Gus Hansen of Orangethorpe has donated forty acres of land to the Bixby sugar factory to have the site located this side of the county line. Thus of the 400 acres necessary for this purpose Mr. Hansen donates one-tenth of the whole. The deeds are conditional upon work on the factory being commenced on the 15th of the present month. —We learn that notices are being served upon parties who have houses at Anaheim Landing on the property claimed by I. W. Hellman, the banker, requiring them to lease the ground on which their houses are situated or ejectment suits will be instituted. Graves, O'Melveny & Shankland of Los Angeles are Mr. Hellman's attorneys, and Attorney Melrose of this city has also been engaged by Mr. Hellman to attend to the matter of the proposed suits. —A Southern Pacific railroad party, consisting of H. E. Huntington, J. Muir, and Wm. Hood, accompanied by Mr. Capitain, arrived in town one day last week, and drove one of Lewis' rigs to Long Beach. The trip was made in connection with the building of a railroad branch from Long Beach to the sugar factory to be erected on the Alamitos. Arthur Lewis went over to Long Beach by rail and drove the rig home. After looking over the route, the party took the train at Long Beach for Los Angeles. —The Osteopath, the new monthly journal to be issued by W. L. Metcalf, in conjunction with the Doctors at the sanitarium, will make its first appearance on Wednesday next. It will be devoted to the congenial task of spreading the light of the new science of osteopathy, which as its significance dawns upon the uninitiated will be found to be one not only founded upon the principles of scientific truth, but one of absorbing interest as well. The paper will also deal with topics of a local character, and will be found to be a very interesting and carefully prepared publication. —Paul Golter has begun an action against one Christina Brendle, to recover lot 6, block 29, in the town of Fullerton. The woman is Golter's divorced wife, having been granted a divorce from him a year ago. Subsequently the pair lived together again until Golter's disappearance, some months ago, to escape the service of papers upon him for conducting a saloon at Fullerton without a license. Golter represents that his wife was married before he wedded her in New York, in 1885. He lived with her ten years. The entire case is a very nasty mess. Golter was said to have skipped to Germany at the time of his disappearance, and he probably "dug up" his wife's history while in New York. His voters are so used to the old law, which allowed registration up to within a few days of election day, that they are naturally putting it off, thinking there is plenty of time. But an important change has gone into effect with the law adopted at the last Legislature. No citizen who is not properly registered 90 days before November 3d may cast his ballot. All those whose names are not upon the Great Register by August 9th will not be permitted to vote at the election in November. —J. F. Blockberger, the man who was thrown from his wagon in a runaway accident on Tuesday afternoon last, seems to have been more badly hurt than was at first supposed. The latest heard from him is that he is in Santa Ana, where he has been everome by temporary insanity. Blockberger was quite seriously injured, a cupful of blood oozing out of the ear immediately after the accident, but when he recovered from the shock, he walked off with his partner, who procured some cotton and put in his cars to stanch the flow of blood, and he had apparently sustained little injury. Several of the bystanders declared that man was more badly hurt than he himself imagined, some thinking that the flow of blood from the ear indicated a fracture at the base of the brain. Blockberger's friend was advised to take him to a room and let him lie down, but he led him away, declaring he was not badly hurt, and nothing more was heard of him, until word came over from Santa Ana that he was acting queerly and was thought to be insane. Mrs. Theodore Rimpau and daughter, Miss Mary, returned on Saturday evening at Tia Juana, after a month's outing at that resort as the guests of Mr. and Mrs. Savin. They brought with them a carrier pigeon, and on Sunday morning released it in the yard at the residence. It shot up into the air and made off in an easterly direction, but soon returned, and circling higher into the air, soon made off in an uncertain way north easterly. It had not gone far before it returned, circling higher and higher, until at last, mounting into the empire so high that it was almost lost to view, it seemed to get its bearings, and seeming to get a glimpse of its far-away home, winged its flight in a southerly direction homeward. It bore a message announcing the safe arrival home of Mrs. Rimpau and her daughter. On a previous occasion the dove was liberated at the Mission, in San Diego county, and found its way home in no time. Monday evening a letter came saying the bird had arrived at Tia Juana at a quarter to four o'clock Sunday afternoon. It started from this city at a quarter past eight in the morning, and was looked for at Tia Juana at 11 o'clock. The distance is about 120 miles, and it is thought the bird must have lost its way or become confused on the trip. The bird is a young one, and this was its first long trip. —Ernest Bentz has had the pleasure of seeing his name in print in the Los Angeles and Santa Ana papers, but in a manner PERSONAL INTELLIGENCE Sheriff Nichols was in town yesterday summoning jurors.

George Baldwin, the Bolsa farmer convicted of an assault to rape a little school-girl on her way home from school, goes up for seven years in San Quentin. Baldwin is a married man, and lived neighbor to the Williams family, whose little nine year old daughter was the complaining witness. The accused stoutly maintained his innocence, but corroborative evidence supported the child, and the jury brought in a compromise verdict, rape having been charged, and found the man guilty of assault to commit that crime. Damaging evidence was brought out against the Williamsses, but the jury believed the little girl's story, that Baldwin enticed her into the milk house as she was returning across his pasture from school, and there committing the act. Baldwin may reduce his sentence by a couple of years by good behavior. James Irvine, owner of the San Joaquin ranch, has been cited to appear before Judge Towner to-day to show cause why he should not be punished for contempt. The proceedings are an issue of the suit of Bathgate et al. vs. Irvine, which was brought by 200 settlers of El Modena to establish their right to the waters of the Santiago Creek for irrigating purposes, and which resulted in a decision in their favor. Judge Towner issued an injunction enjoining Irvine from diverting the waters of the creek by means of a dam constructed above the lands of the settlers, but it appears from an affidavit filed on July 3 by L.E.Way, one of the plaintiffs in the original litigation, that the injunction has been disregarded by Irvine, and that the diversion of water has continued uninterrupted. The affidavit alleges that Irvine not only failed to remove the obstruction placed in the creek, but has had it repaired and reconstructed so that the diversion of water is rendered more complete than before.

Des Granges has written a letter to the Santa Ana Herald in defense of municipal ownership. Joe's letter is full of force and eloquence, and must be seen to be appreciated. We append it as follows: ANAHEIM, July 4th, 1896. Editors Santa Ana Herald:—The Blade of July 21 has an article headed, "Kerosene Seems to be the Favorite," and so on, which the writer quotes me as reporting at the meeting of the trustees that the moandessent plant was not running up to its full capacity. I wish to state right here that he is a liar from the word go. He also states that the stores in the vicinity of the post-office do not use the electric light because it is too high. That is a lie, also, for I have an application now to install lights in the block. He also states that nearly half the stores cling to the old fashioned lamps. They do so because they cannot get the electric lights if they wanted them, for our plant is running to its full capacity. In another column I notice an article in which this youthful cherub says the monthly receipts for lights are $150 per month and that the expense is $300. I would like to know where the fellow got his information; surely not from the City Clerk, where he ought to have gone for it. The writer of that article surely must have wheels in his head and they jump cogs very frequently. I wonder where the Blade reporter, who was over here the other day, got all that money he said he could lay his hands on to bet that the bond question would be downed. I offered to bet him the small sum of $5 against the big pile that he could lay his hands on, but he refused the offer. I suppose he wants to keep it to buy up votes on the 14th.
